TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2Z, 1953 Coed Rushing Begins with Parties THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIF i ! Counselors <"> - # * Lead Groups Saturday afternoon over a thousand coeds started on the first round of parties which began the Michigan fall rushing season. These first parties are called "mixers" and introduce all rushees to the eighteen houses on campus. The rushees are divided into groups of approximately ,seventy and are conducted to the houses by their Rushing Counselors. THESE COUNSELORS, from every house on campuus with the-, exception of Adelphi, a new soror- ity, are completely disaffiliated from their respective houses and 4 } act on the behalf of the rushees, answering questions, making sug- gestions, and in general, helping each rushee go through the rush- ing period smoothly. An informal atmosphere will predominate the rushing season this year. It is suggested that casual school clothes, like bobby sox, skirts, and sweaters be worn to both the "Mixers" and the second set of parties. Re- freshments and entertainment at the house will also be simple. The second set of parties starts tomorrow, and lasts until Friday. Two parties are given by each house in the evening, lasting from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and from 9 to 10. * * * THE ATMOSPHERE changes with the third set of parties and rushees can dress up in their best bib and tucker. Dressy dresses, suits, hose, and heels are in order. Actives will show their houses and annexes to rushees and con- duct them through the house in Foreign Students To Sponsor Tea For AllCampus Students returning from their summer vacations and trips to Eu- rope will have an opportunity to renew acquaintances and make new ones at a tea to be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Inter- national Center. Foreign as well as American stu- dents are urged to attend this first tea of the semester. During past semesters weekly Thursday afternoon teas have be- come traditional. They provide all students with the opportunity to meet the staff and also to learn more about the many functions of the International Center on cam- pus. Union Offers' 'Little Club', Other Events Even though the semester has barely begun, Union committee members are busy outlining plans for the entire term's social events.j Several all-campus features sponsored by the Union in past years are on the agenda again. Foremost among these events is the weekly campus night-spot, the Little Club. Held from 9 p.m. to midnight every Friday night, it features a night club atmosphere complete with checked table cloths and candles. Entertainment includes out- standing campus personalities. Couples attending will dance in the north lounge of the Union to the music of Red Johnson and his band. Pianist Johnson was heard in the Union Opera last year. The Little Club was first spon- sored by the Union last fall. This year's opening of the Lit- tle Club is set for Friday night. In line with the Union policy to present a dance in the Union Ball- room every Saturday night this semester, the first all-campus dance of the season was held last Saturday evening. The music of Jim Gilmartin was featured. Future dance plans include three specialty dances during the se- mester. Dates and themes will be revealed later. Also a carry over from previous years will be the Union-sponsored Faculty Teas. Held so that stu- dents may meet their professors on an informal basis, the all-cam- pus gathering are usually held bi- weekly. We '4 .. icome Warmth Casual shop specialty. . .

They are at a "mixer," on the first set of parties which began the University fall rushing season. - only the finest quality at prices that are fair a general tour. These parties are an hour long and perhaps the rushees will be entertained with singing and simple games. Rushees will attend four parties Saturday and Sunday and they will last from 7 to 8 and 8:30 to 9:30 on Saturday and.2 to 3:00 and 3:30 to 4:30 on Sunday. THE NEXT two days will b a definite contrast to the third set. Parties will be held outdoors if the weather is nice and everyone will wear their oldest and most comfortable clothes, which in this case will be blue jeans, slack, shirts, and old shoes. Rushees will get an introduc- tion to sorority meals at these parties. Two supper parties are given by each house and ham- burgers, hot dogs, and box lunches will be served along with potato salad and other picnic food. Games will be played and there will be both group and sor- ority singing. Next to pledging, final desserts are the biggest item on the rush- ing agenda. They take place on Thursday, October 1 and Friday, October 2. EACH NIGHT there is one party to attend and this lasts from 7:30 to 9:30 both nights. Since these parties are two hours long, rushees will have a chance to meet most of the actives in the houses they are rushing and in this way be able to make an intelligent decision on which house they want to pledge. Dressy clothes will be worn, as In the third set of parties, and rushees will be served fancy des- * * * serts and entertained by chap- ter singing. The climax of the rushing sea- son falls on October 4, after a day of welcome rest from the hectic round of parties. Rushees will pick up their bids at three o'clock at the League and then go to their respective houses. Here they will be eagerly welcomed by actives and alums. The Panhellenic Council has tried to arrange these parties so they don't conflict with football' games and campus-wide activities. Also they distributed the parties over quite a long period of time so rushees will have a chance to keep up with their studies. Tryouts ,Alkwomenhinterested in working on the Daily Wom- en's staff may attend the try- out meetings scheduled for 4:15 and 7:30 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday and sign up at that time.
