UnpredictableNWeather Conditions
Offer Qood Topic for Conversation


By NANCY GROBERG
Once upon a time the weather as
a topic for discussion, conversation,
and what-have-you, was utterly ta-
boo. The man who opened his dis-
course with a dull muttering about
"nice day, isn't it?" was condemned
as a bore.
The sun was taken for granted-as
were the moon and the stars. People
went to bed at night fairly confident
that the next morning they would
awake to find the same season of
the year hanging around. Fashion
magazines and articles worked under
the assumption that once spring
came, it would assert itself in terms
of permanency.
We know now that such ideas were
mere illusions. The constancy of the
weather has become a myth, a fan-
tasy to be discarded with our old
beliefs.
The Michigan coed has become

reasonably accustomed to alternat-
ing, from day to day, between fur
coat and cotton dress. Walking the
streets of Ann Arbor without a ba-
bushka to cover the head, is asadan-
gerous as walking among murderers
unarmed.
Letters sent home with frantic re-
quests for spring clothes arrive at
their destination just after a new
snowfall whitens the streets of Ann
Arbor. Picnics are converted, at the
last minute into skiing parties. Not
even the mildest of the spring flowers
is safe.
And we, poor things-we are help-
less. Mutiny would be totally in-
effective. We must tread our paths
of misery, without hope, without
light, without sunburn, consoled only
in the fact that now, at last, we may
talk ,about the weather.

Pnhellen ic IAccepts
New Rushing Plan
I9
Association Unanimously Passes Program;
All Women May Attend FqlI ,Fhctions
A new rushing program was unanimously accepted yesterday by the
members of the Panhellenic Association.
The substance of the plan is that rushing start one month after school
begins next fall, about Nov. 27, and continue for a.period of six weeks, Two
parties will be given each week-end, excludiU Qnhristmas and New Year's
week-ends, which will carry the rushing period into Januaty.
Rushing will be for freshman women as wella s for Uperclassnen and
transfer students.
Preference Slips To Be Signed
After the final forimal affair has taken place, preference slips will be
signed and those girls who do sign them will be boud to teir houte for
a calendar year. Transfers and up-
perclassmen may be pledged imme-
diately.
Freshmen, however, although they
already know which house they will
join, will not be pledged until the
second week of second semester,
pending their first semester grades.
All will be bound to their house for
the calendar year if they do not
make grades and will be pledged as
soon as they do.
This program solves the problem of
intensive rushing which will be elim-
inated. An informative mass meet-
ing will be held, as an educational
program, one week before rushing
begins in order that those who are
interested in rushing may sign up
before.
Invitations Are Obligatory
At this meeting, it will be stressed
that no girl may break a date or not H
go to a house once she has accepted
an invitation .to do so, Frthermre,
each house may invite twice its quota
to its formal.affair. In .other words
twice as many girls may attend a
formal dinner as are able to. be
pledged by a house.
A final vote on each division of
the new rushing program will be held '
