Against
1. "To wait for a whole semester
before any rushing to take place
would give too much leeway for il-
legal rushing and also eliminates the
sorority's ability to aid those new to
campus."
2. "I believe that rushing should
last for a month and that there
should be at least three days to de-
cide on pledging."
3. "Last year I attended another
college where the system of rushing
included a closed and open season.
Open (formal) rushing did not begin
until about a month after school
started, and it last three weeks. It
was very satisfactory."
4. "A short period for rushing
would do just as well as deferred
rushing or the three weeks period
and would not be quite as nerve-
racking or long-drawn out."
5. "I believe the present system is
satisfactory. There was opportunity
to study between dinners and for
freshmen who have so much to do
(orientation lectures, health lec-
tures), it was especially satisfactory."
6. "The same attitude would
probably be there on the part of the
rushees and actives at the end of the
deferred period. The strain would
last too long."
7. "I would advise abolishing the
silence period and let rushees speak
to sorority girls. Thus they could
know the girls better. Rules would
have to be made forbidding teas, etc.,
but I do not think many girls would
be influenced by sorority girls speak-
ing to them. College girls are old
enough to know when they are being
pushed int something."
8. "Informal rushing for the first
two weeks would be better. And then
about two weeks of formal rushing all
in the first semester."
9. "Have informal rushing first
semester with no girl able to pledge
any house."
10. "Not if there wasn't any
rushing during that semester. How
could one meet the sorority girls if
there were no teas, dinners and
dances, at which to get, at least,
acquainted?"

Christ Church of Detroit was the
scene last night of the most out-
standing Detroit weddings of the
season when Miss Ernestine Richter,
daughter of Judge Theodore J. Rich-
ter and Mrs. Richter, of Detroit, be-
came the bride of William Gardner
Onderdonk, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Lawrence Onderdonk, of Winnetka,
Ill.
Miss Richter, who is affiliated with
Alpha Phi soroity, graduated from
the University in 1934. Mr. Onder-
donk, a member of the class of 1936,
is affiliated with Psi Upsilon fra-
ternity.
Miss Marguerite Richter, sister of
the bride, was maid of honor, and
the Misses Florence Bingham and
Katherine Schmelzer, both of Sag-
inaw, served as bridesmaids. The
Rev. Harry Olsen read the service.
The bride was attractively gowned
n a white velvet dress worn by her
mother at her wedding. The bride's
ister wore a white dress interwoven
with silver threads. The bridesmaids
wore white velvet accented by cor-
sages of poinsettias.

Mr. Onderdonk was attended by
his father as best man. Among the
ushers were Donald Lahey, of Chi-
cago, Arthur Emerson, of Highland
Park, Ill., and Karney Garrison, of
Detroit.
The couple will make their home
in Evanston, Ill.
