Rushees Will Submit
Preferences on Sunday,
Attend Final Desserts
Rushees and sorority members
alike look forward to pledging on
Sunday, as the fall sorority rush-
ing program moved into the final
stages last night.
Fancy dresses and desserts were
the order of the evening as actives
and prospective pledges got to-
gether for the last time during the
traditional "final desserts." Anoth-
er final dessert party is scheduled
for tonight.
Lasting two hours, the parties
give rushees a final chance to re-
turn to the two houses of their
choice, before turning in preference
cards Friday night.
Pledging Ceremonies Sunday
Tension will run high in both
sororities and dormitories until 2
p.m. on Sunday, when bids are dis-
tributed in the League. N e w
pledges will go to their "houses"
for pledging ceremonies at 3 p.m.
Sunday where actives will be wait-
ing to welcome them.
Next week new pledges will be-
gin the round of meetings, instruc-
tion, get-togethers with "sisters,"
pledge formals, and all other
events that lead up to initiation
ceremonies early next semester.
Four sets of rushing parties pre-
ceded the important "final des-
serts." Beginning. with informal
mixers the first Saturday on cam-
pus, the rushees went on to attend
theme parties, dressy sets in which
houses, and picnic suppers.
the houses, and picnic suppers.
Rushing Counselor Helps
During all the parties both ac-
tives and rushees looked at each
other with a critical eye, in an at-
tempt to make a wise final deci-
sion. Rushees visited all houses on
campus under the direction of a
rushing counselor, before accept-
ing invitations back to the succeed-
ing parties.
All rules, invitations, issuing of
bids, and other aspects of the rush-
ing program are handled by Pan-
hellenic Association. After joining
a sorority, new pledges will form
a Junior Panhellenic Association.
Whether it be summer or win-
ter, Miss Marie Hartwig, super-
visor in the Women's Physical Ed-
ucation Department, is always at
her favorite hobby, working with
people.
During the school year, Miss
Hartwig not only is an advisor in
the Women's Athletic Associa-
tion's elective program for coed
recreation, but gives instruction in
golf, fencing and recreational lea-
dership. She also teaches com-
munity recreation in the School of
Education.
In the summer, not content to
enjoy her vacation with her beau-
tiful Doberman Pincher, "Hans,"
she teaches University courses in
counseling and camping activities
at the national music camp, In-
terlochen, Michigan.
Blue Ribbon Dog
Miss Hartwig likes to remember
the time she entered "Hans" in
his first and last show. He won
over six other entries in his class.
"He had to," she added, "he was
the only one that showed up."
In her spare time she does not
play golf or any other sport. "That
is too much like a busman's holi-
day," she remarked. Instead she
enjoys working in the garden.
Scattered around her home are
driftwood mobiles. Her favorite is
one resembling a school of fish.
Most of the mobiles are not made
to represent anything, they are
just interesting shapes.
Her only concession to a sport
in the summer is trout fishing.
Even then she is not disappointed
if she "does not catch anything,"
because she enjoys looking at the
beautiful scenery and interesting
stones in the water.
Nicknamed "Pete"
Miss Hartwig received her nick-
name "Pete" in a very unusual
way. Most people think it is be-
cause she likes rabbits, and there-
fore have practically bowled her
over with a collection of rabbit
oddities and momentos. This is
not the reason, however.
When she was in the seventh
grade, she was cast as Peter Rug-
gles in Charles Dicken's "Christ-
mas Carol." During the dress re-
hearsal, there was a fire drill and
she was too embarrassed to appear

Football weekends are always hectic, and to add to the fun and
frolic this weekend fraternities and dorms are planning a round of
parties to celebrate the Army Game.
Probably the biggest event of the weekend will be Sigma Nu's
traditional White Rose Ball. Rivalry with Alpha Tau Omega originat-
ed the dance, and now the ATO's are to be honored guests. A pool of
floating rosebuds will provide the background as coeds in bouffant
formals twirl with their dates to the strains of Don Kenney's band.
A military theme with a special surprise feature will highlight
the Union Dance Saturday night, when Red Johnson's orchestra
plays for students and West Point cadets.
Another dance with Army atmosphere, this time along a humor-
ous line, will take place at the Zeta Beta Tau house. Take-offs on re-
vered West Point traditions, and Paul Brody's orchestra will highlight
the dance Saturday night.
Yet a third dance with this theme will be Theta Chi's record
Party where cadets will be on hand to furnish that authentic touch.
"Welcome Back Students" is the title of Sigma Alpha Mu's dance
this weekend. The SAM house will be converted into a little red school-
house, with campus scenes predominating inside. Sammies and their
dates will eat in a new campus hang-out, the "S-Bell."
A schoolhouse touch will predominate at the Phi Sigma
Delta "Ivy Hop." Here everyone will try his best to look collegiate
by wearing their newest clothes.
Coeds will finally have a chance to dust off their moth-proofed
bermuda's Saturday night as the Phi Kappa Tau's have not only
removed the bermuda ban, but have' designated the controversial
items-the official costume for their party.
Pi Lambda Phi is promising an interesting day for members and
their dates. In the afternoon they are holding their traditional pre-
game luncheon. "And at night," said Social Chairman Lee Marks,
"a gala, informal Upside-down, Inside-out Dance."
The terrace between the Sigma Chi house and the Union
will be used as a dance floor for the first time Saturday night,
when it will be the scene of an informal dance
The Alpha Epsilon Phi's are using "New Faces" as the basis of a
party to introduce their new members. Song parodies will entertain
the guests.
Other fraternity men will bring their dates to the houses for in-
formal record parties .These houses are Acacia, Alpha Kappa Kappa,
Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Rho Sigma, Nu Sigma Nu, Triangle, Theta Xi,
and Phi Kappa Sigma.
Others are Phi Delta Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsi-
lon, Tau Delta Phi, Zeta Psi, Alpha Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Chi'
Phi, Delta Sigma Delta, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon and Kappa
Sigma.
Tyler house and Gomberg house residents will meet on an infor-
mal basis when they attend tonight's pep rally together.

NOT JUST CALISTHENICS, THE BUNNY HOP TOO
in costume in front of the boys.
This was a school in which the
boys and girls were ordinarily sep-
arated. From this has resulted her
nickname.
In her "Bunny" collection, which
she calls her collection of friends
because each piece reminds her
of the person who gave it, are
many unusual articles.
Her 200 piece collection includes
Dalton China, porcelain and wood-
en figurines, pictures, pins, books
and a scrapbook of cards. Among
her favorites are mechanical toy
rabbits and a figurine of one
standing on its head with its ears
drooping down.
Wanted To Be a Secretary
Miss Hartwig originally wanted
to be a private secretary. After
she graduated from the Univer-
sity, Dr. Margaret Bell, head of
the Physical Education Depart-
ment and Miss Ethel McCormick,
League Social Director, then on
the staff, urged her to. go into
physical education.
After working two years as a
secretary, she returned to school
as a part time student and in-
structor, later receiving a B.S. in
Education and a masters degree.
She was a member of the new
pool planning committee, and has
been working towards its comple-
tion since she was a student. Dur-
ing one WAA function when she
was a Board member, blue and
yellow place card tiles were in-
scribed "Pool Tile, Worthwhile."
They were used to promote the
drive for the building.
Even as an alumna she worked
for this end, and had her dream
realized with the completion of
the pool this year.
