Rughing Rules
Are Discussed
ByPanhellenic
Deferred rushing, before school
rushing and the present system of
rushing at the beginning of the first
semester were among the main pointsj
discussed and compared at the Pan-
hellenic Mass Meeting held at 4:15
p.m. yesterday in the League Ball-
room.
Consensus of opinion seemed to
favor a modified form of the present
system with such advantages brought
out as the psychological effect of the
houses and rushees being "set" for
rushing at the beginning of the year,
the fact that rushing deferred until
the beginning of the second semester
w'ould break in on activities, and
rushing before school would inter-
fere with orientation activities.

By VICKI
Rumor has it that there are 12,000
students at the University, and ac-
cording to the Philosophy of thePeo-
ple, 12,000 is too many. The person-
al touch which one finds in a small
college is lacking, they argue.
We were inclined to agree until
chance showed us the veiled laby-
ninth by which the University through
the Academic Counsellors office an-.
nually takes approximately 150 stu-
dents under its omniscient wing.
The thousands of students in the
literary college are intimately ac-
quainted with the Academic Counsel-
lor's office as the source of a fine
grade of red tape which semi-annu-
ally enmeshes them in pre-registra-
tion difficulties. Those same thous-
ands are blissfully unaware that from
their number are gleaned the 150
who have come to college burdened
with heavy difficulties - financial,
academic, personal-whicti their
their neighbors seldom suspect.
A case history may be in order
as an illustration.
Two and one half years ago a
freshman woman came to college
with enough money in her pocket to
pay her first semester's tuition, a
down payment on her room and $60
to boot. She was an orphan with
absolutely no resources but her un-
usual intelligence. By the end of
November the $60 had melted away
and she turned up at the Counsel-
lors' office at the suggestion of a
friend. By means of scholarships
and generous alumni and numerous
jobs discovered for her by one of
the counsellors, she has survived to
her junior year and has one of the
finest scholastic records in the Uni-
versity.
space does not permit an adequate
picture of the unilimited work which
is eing carried on through this
channel.

The form,. date, theme, and style of
