You still won't see the normal college life until rushing is over in about two weeks so just make the best of it. Join in the hum- drum existence with every one else and tear around like mad. Scenes around campus this past week showed Jane Burbott and vivacious Jean Sollitt tearing their respective heads over class schedules in a vain at- tempt to avoid eight o'clocks. These freshmen learn . quickly. Tuesday morning, Marion Smith had two * weary souls on her hands as Alice Thomas andk Phyllis Tonkin, Ray's younger sister, filled out hun- dreds of blanks and slips. They spent the next two . nights writing their names and addresses in their sleep. Co-Egds Find Eihth Wonder-R. L.. Director Aids Sororities As Rushing Starts Panhellenic Book Shows Map Of Houses, Rules And Names Of Actives The new Panhellenic Directory, edi- ted by a committee under the direc- tion of Dorothy Shipman, '40, is a; new feature of this year's rushing sea- son, Stephanie Parfet, '39, President o f Panhellenic Association, a n - nounced. The Directory can be secured at the Rushing Registration Booth in the lobby of the League on payment of the 50 cent rushing fee. The boo'k- let contains a map showing the loca- tion of all the sorority houses on campus, a list of rushing rules, tips on rushing technique, and pictures of the houses with the list of active members in each house.. The 50 cent rushing fee, in addition to paying for the Panhellenic Direc- tory, will be used in establishing a fund from which the Association hopes to be able to award scholar- ships in 1939 or 1940. The Association met recently and accepted the first of three recom- mendations of the summer commit- tee, which under the chairmanship of' Ellen Rhea, '40, investigated the possibilities of adopting the quota system for this campus. It was decid- ed to accept the first recommendation, that we adopt the drop list system, and the other two are to be decided in meeting today. , Of the two remaining propositions, the first is that the quota system be worked out on a basis of three years with the purpose of equalizing houses; the second, that something be done to make annexes unnecessary. Silence between affiliated and non- affiliated women begins with Orienta- tion and extends until after pledging. Hi h Standing In Scholarship Is Emphasized Alpha Delta Pi, Alumnae. House Present Holders Of Scholastic Awards I Lambeth Walk Is Among Novelty Dances Planned For League And Union Tomorrow and Thursday the Ori- entation Committees of the League and Union launch the concluding feature of an intensive orientation program, the freshman tea dances. Revived after about fifteen years, its sponsors are confident of success, an- nounced Marcia Connell, '39, chair- man of the League committee. Miss Connell stated that the care- ful attention which has been devoted to every detail in planning the dances seems to assure their success. Bob teinle and his orchestra will play for tomor'ow's dance which will be held ' in the Union ballroom, and Charlie Zwick will play Thursday in the League; the hours in both cases are 4 to 6 p. m. Tickets Are Limited The tickets will be sold through the freshman advisers, 400 for each day. rhe price has been reduced to fif- teen cents though it had formerly been anniounced as twenty-five cents. Since there are 1900 freshmen and only 800 tickets available it is ey- pected that they will go very quickly. Three door prizes will be given each day. Tomorrow's prizes will con- sist of three tickets, to a week-enl dance at the Union, Thursday's three tickets to a week-end dance at the League. In addition there will bea prize for the boy with the most "number of names of girls he has danced with. To Have Novelty Dances Before the dance the groups will' meet in the small ballroom at the Union and the Grand Rapids room at the.League to get their name tags. No one can enter the ballroom with- outd apartner when they first arrive, and once in the ballroom circle dlances, girl 'robber: dances, andl the stag line will keep things going. The strains of "Change Partners" will indicate a double cut, both boy and girl quickly changing partners. "The Lambeth Walk" will provide a special feature at both dances. It will be demonstrated first, and then everyone will join in and learn it. The members of each group will meet with their adviser before the dances and go in together+ Tuesday afternoon saw Dottie Baxter herding Elsie Courtney and Joan Ferguson, among others, into the Romance Language building for con- ferences with their advisors. The girls were properly impressed with the age of that well-known structure. Marcia Connell's sister, Jane, was another bewildered miss this past week. She is still recovering from writer's cramps as is Astrid Hegge, Lib's younger sister. Looks as if we have a pretty fine bunch of freshmen this year. Nancy Jane Seeds and Jeanne Howard were seen being helped through the registration maze Thursday by Kay Burns. It was a stiff battle but they won. Later in the day Mildred Da Lee and Marjorie McCoy were found wandering through Health Service with smiling faces. If they but knew the dangers of that place. Betty Bould and Peggy Gabriel were intrigued with the audiometer test that they took Saturday morning. It seems they learn something new everyday, keep it up, girls. Anna-Jean Williams and Mary Joyce Engstrom meekly followed Betty Balswin through the general library Friday afternoon. We hope they got the right idea and use the place for studying. Never have there been so many sisters on campus as this year. The place positively ozzes with them. Mary Haskell arrived Monday, all the way from Wenatchee, Washington, to join her'sister on campus, and Harvey Clarke's little sister, Barbara, was also seen wandering among the buildings as she went from the League to the libe and back. She's catching on quickly. W.A.A. Stages Stile Parade Gobs and gobs of people attended the W.A.A. fashion show Wednesday afternoon on Palmer Field. Leona Henderson, Eleanor Donahue and Mar- garet Hadsel seemed to enjoy seeing Janet Fullenweider in her old fashioned gym suit. Caroline Bowen and Betty Ann Belisle were impressed by Harriet Sharkey's efficiency as she saw to it that , everything went off smoothly. Norma Curtis "4 'did the announcing and Mary Gunn and Millie Curtis didn't miss a word she said. There were many ooh's and ah's, when Ellen MacDonald modeled a riding habit. Phyllis Lovejoy and Virgina La Rue got a chuckle out of the sweat suit that Sally Lou Weidleine _er _+ he.- a ee r}- il, .1..- - t F J 1 First Marriage Course Given To Seniors At North Carolina - Subject Originated Over 10 Years Ago; Credit Is Awarded Students By ANN VICARY Slightly more than a decade ago a group of University of North Caro- lina senior men visited the president. of the university with a request that a course be given preparing them for marriage. Without exception those men andt the others in their class intended to marry and to rear families. They made their epoch-making request with the conviction that their col- lege education, intended to prepare them for a useful and happy life, was neglecting one of the most important phases of their futures. By way of recognition in scholar-e ship the Panhellenic Association holdss an annual banquet the last Monday in October to present awards for high scholastic standing. At that timeI the Dean of Women's office presents a book to the sorority having the bestr sclalastic rating for the past year. At present Alpha Delta Pi is holder ' of this award and Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi have the next highest per centages respectively. Alpha Chi. Omega, Gamma Phi Beta, Chi Ome- ga, Delta Delta Delta, Collegiate Sor-1 osis, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Epsi- lon Phi, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa Delta, Phi Sigma. Sigma rank in scholarship in thisj order, among the sororities. Alumnae House led the dormitory and league house groups last year and second and third ratings were had by Adelia Cheever and MarthaE Cook respectively. Last year a new system was inaug- urated in which the first semester. freshman woman in each sorority pledge class was honored at a lunch- eon given by the Panhellenic Associa- tion. The executive board of Panhel- I lenic served as hostesses, 'and this event is going to be an annual affair, Stephanie Parfet, president of Pan- hellenic, announced. An honor roll consisting of the names of the women who attended the luncheon was xstarted last year and is on display in the League lib- rary. Name of the Freshman women honored at the luncheon each year will be added to the eighteen names now sted. Miss Parfet stated that these luncheons were held with the hope that such a meeting would serve to stimulate better scholastic rating among Freshman women and be an incentive for high scholarship among the new students. In April the Annual Installation Banquet is held at the League, at which time a Service and Scholarship Cup is presented to one house or sor- ority, which has been prominent in activities on the campus as well as having a good 'scholastic standing. For the last two years Delta Gamma has been awarded the cup. Three Ethel McCormick scholar- ships of $100 each were awarded last year to individual students at the In- stallation banquet and the presenta- tions were based on scholarship, need and activity.. Miss Parfet said that it has been the practice in the past to give two scholarships of $100 each to 'an in- dependent woman The first award was made in 1937 and last year the association again presented the scholarships. This year taught by professors whose major line lay in other fields. Finally Er- nest R. Groves was put in full charge of the course, the first instructor ever to devote his full energies to the subject. Students Suggest Topics In, bringing the matter to the at- tention of the administration, the students had made it clear that they desired two things from the course- information and counsel. For that reason lectures and conference pe- riods were both used in teaching the subject. There was general agree- ment among the students asking for the course that it should treat "Courtship," "Choice of a Mate," "En- gagement," "Finances," "Marital Ad- justment," "Domestic Adjustment," meaning problems of relationship W moren's Pool u n d Grows W.A.A. Has 12 Per Cent Of Total Sum For Pool Good news for all boosters of the proposed new women's swimmirg pool was announced, recently when Dr. Margaret Bell, director of physical education for women, said that the Women's Athletic Association now has 12% of the total sum needed. The principle project of W.A.A. has been, and will.be for some time, the new swimming pool, which is to be made a part of the Women's 'Athletic Building. The sum with which W.A.A. expected to build a cabin was trans- ferred into the pool fund, according to Norma Curtis, '39, president, and donations for the pool have been re- ceived. Last year such events as the swim- ming exhibition in the fall, the Tom- my Dorsey Swing Concert in the winter and Michigras in the spring also contributed heavily to the pool fund. It is expected that similar af- fairs will be held this year, Dr. Bell said. Fellowship Given To Hilda Harpster The Michigan Chapter of the
