Coeds Revise
RushingPlan
Counselling To Aid
Sorority,_Rushee
Under the new rushee counsel-
ling system accepted by Panhel-
lenic Association ten counsellors
will be chosen annually.
Selection will be made from a
group of coeds consisting of two
coeds chosen from each of ten
h'ouses who will be representeo
each year. The Panhellenic Board
will hold interviews with the
girls and select one from each of
the sororities in the group.
Counsellors must be sophomores
or juniors at the time of election.
They should be intending to finish
a four year course. An asset would
be a knowledge of Panhellenic
rushing plans, Sororities will
choose the girls they believe most
qualified to be counsellors.
A TRAINING program for coun-
sellors will be given under the di-
rection of the rushing chairman.
Miss Ethel MacCormick, social di-
rector of the League, psychologists,
and personnel experts will help to
train coeds selected.
Counsellors will not wear their
sorority pins while working for
Panhellenic. During rushing
they will not attend rushing
parties, rushing meetings or
member voting meetings. As
members of Panhellenic exclu-
sively during rushing they will
be able to help rushees to a
greater extent than if they were
identified with a particular
house, according to Christine
Blair, rushing secretary of Pan-
helenic.
One of the duties of the coun-
sellors will be to supervise an edu-
cational program for rushees
which will begin in the fall. Rush-
ing counsellors will have informa-
tion on chapter histories, recom-
mendation procedures, and finan-
cial data, available to them.
THE PRINCIPLE duty of Pan-
hellenic rushing counsellors will
be to advise rushees and answer
any questions which may arise.
Parents and friends of the rushees
will also be welcome to make in-
quirias.
Interviewing for counsellors will
begin April 18.
Hillel Foundation
Will Hold Rally
For UJADrive
Hillel Foundation will sponsor a
rally at 4:15 p.m. April 12 in the
Union Ballroom for the United
Jewish Appeal Drive.
National goal of U.J.A. is $250,-
000,000; Hillel's goal is $9,000. Ap-
proximately $1,000 toward the
goal was collected from Hillelza-
poppin show.
Movies of Palestine will be
shown at the rally to explain why
the money is needed and where it
will be sent.
Three U.J.A. organizations to
receive money from the campus
drive are: United Service for New
Americans which Americanizes
immigrants to the United States,
the Joint Distribution Committee
which takes care of relief, recon-
struction, and immigration work
in Europe and North Africa and
United Palestine Appeal Commit-
tee which takes care of settlement
in Palestine.
The Foundation will serve din-
ners and lunches from April 13 to
April 21 to students who wish to
observe the Passover holiday.
Traditional Seders will be held
on April 13 and 14.
Reservations should be made be-
fore April 7 to facilitate the plan-
ning of meals. Students may con-
tact Miss Goldberg at the Founda-
tion for additional information.
ALL POINTS EAST:
I Students Plan Summer Travels
Going traveling, either during'
spring vacation or this summer?
Then the word is. go East, young
woman! Instead of heading out
to the great west country, travel-
ing coeds are heading to New York
and points east-to Europe.
To deal with the nearest prob-
lem first, however, how about a
change of scene during spring
vacation? Everyone needs it, and
by planning ahead on the fi-
nances, at least weekend away
from the usual home-to-school-
axis can be managed.
COEDS FROM Ann Arbor, De-
troit and other nearby towns are
especially anxious to get rid of
the wanderlust along about the
first week in April. Although it's
always nice .to fly, sitting up on
a train costs about half.
For short trips, either one or
several women can manage to
visit another Michigan college,
or one in a nearby state for
the weekend. It's a lot nicer to
know someone there, but it's
not necessary.
If one of the local gang goes
1o school at Oberlin, for example,
their Easter vacation starts a
week later than ours. So take up
Susie on her invitation and visit
her for a weekend! It's always a
good idea to see how other colleges
ind universities operate and sim-
ply traveling is fun.
AS FOR NEXT summer, since
the tilne is now to get plans set
up, Europe is the place to go.
The only difficulty lies in financ-
ing such a journey. There are sev-
eral trips being arranged, how-
uver, which are well-chaperoned
and cost a minimum.
One group will be in Stutt-
gart, Germany, for six weeks,
rebuilding some of the destroyed
buildings. A group of men stu-
dents will go to Munich again
this summer, as they did last
year.
There's always the chance of
spending the entire school year,
studying in Europe. Smith Col-
lege, for example, sponsors a jun-
ior year in Geneva project lasting
from September to July and in-
cluding six weeks' study in Paris.
THE BRITISH ISLES are on
the list of trips this summer, too.
One of the most inexpensive trips
is sponsored by Donald Watt's
experiment in an international
living group of Putney, Vt. He
sends groups all over the world.
Further information on this proj-
eet may be obtained from Bill
Sinnigen. 5010.
The Student Religious Asso-
ciation has a great deal of in-
formation on trips to Europe,
and local travel bureaus are a.
good place to check. So the time
is now, if Europe's the goal,
either for the summer or for
next year.
Any time of the year, a change
of scene is a good idea for stu-
dents. After all. the travelling
opportunities offered now are per-
haps the best ever, and the chance
to travel won't present itself as
often after college.

The influence of the American
movie passed long ago from the
realm of pure entertainment into
many other phases of our culture..
Recently the sociologists and psy-

THE ADOPTION of Hollywood's
standards in judging persons has
not been conscious phenomenon.
The very frequency of the average
persons theatre attendance caused
a gradual, unperceived acceptance
of what Hollywood had to offer as
perfection.
