A sorority girl gives annually the best ten years of her life to the Grand Old Cause in the short but painful period called formal rushing. .The improvement of character Iis usually said to be one of the seems to me an iea way of im Iproving character in that it pro- duces absolute selflessness, with heavy fines for non-attendance. Sorority girls sacrifice scholastic work, health, social life, comfort. pride, and integrity to the truly noble and of persuading others to jet in and have their characters improved by sacrificing scholas- tic work, health, social life, com- fort, pride, and integrity . . .

CONSIDER the altruism of a so- Srority girl sitting on the floor, her legs slowly becoming para- lyzed, leering bravely up at some miserable freshman, although her heart is sick at the sight of two of her ever-loving sisters making fools of themselves telling corny jokes in blackface. Sydney Car- ton had nothing on her. Then there is the appalling lit- tle institution of hash session. This is when sorority girls stagger into one room and listen with pain- glazed eyes as each and every sis- ter says either, "Oh I- like her! 1ionestly, she's wonderful!" or, with a burst of originality, "Oh, I like her ! Honestly, she marvel- ous!" Dissenting opinions are us- WAA Skating Club Will Meet Today The WAA Ice Skating Club will skate from 1 to 3 p.m. today and every Wednesday and Thursday at the Coliseum.

Mor- tarboard may feel a bit hurt by this slight, but they must realize that it does a lot more for a girl's soul to sit around on the floor and ask sixty-six freshmen what their home towns are than to be out with some man. If anyone rushes up in the next few seconds and asks you what helpless venom is, just shove this under his nose.
