Under the direction of Carol de Bruin of Delta Delta Delta and Betty Powell of Alpha Delta Pi, the women have disaffiliated themselves from their houses un- til Oct. 9 when pledging will offi- cially begin. Recognizable by her almond- shaped blue pin, a counselor will not only advise rushees but has also been assigned to assist a par- ticular sorority, not her own, with rushing problems. Included in the 19 counselors are Ruth Bassichis who will work with Alpha Chi Omega, Dorothy Cant who will aid Alpha Delta Pi and Helen Cohen who will "adopt" Alpha Epsilon Phi.

Counseling Kappa Kappa Gam- ma will be Sally Wilkenson. Ginny Zinn will aid Pi Beta Phi; Carol Wheeler, Sigma Delta Tau, and Peggy Zuelch, Sigma Kappa. Time To Counsel Because of the introduction of IBM machines, counselors will be able to devote more of their time to actual advising of their houses and rushees. During mixers, the first rush parties, the counselor will take her group of coeds around to the hous- es. After each set of parties, the rushees will see their counselors to pick up their invitations for the next set and to solve any problems. If special questions arise, a rushee may make an appoint- ment to meet with her counselor. To help the counselor with her work, a record of each rushee will be kept containing information in- cluding the houses she has visited. Information Available Pictures of each house and its members and data on its phil- anthropies and projects will be available to all interested rushees. Charts stating the cost of room, board, initiation fee and other ex- penses of each sorority will be pre- pared for. coeds with financial questions. At their four meetings this spring, the counselors have receiv- ed training for their job in the fall. Recently, Stanley Segal, in- Rushing Registration Coeds who wish to go through sorority rushing in the fall may either write or come to the Un- dergraduate Office of the Lea- gue to register before Septem- ber 7. structor in psychology and assist- ant in the counseling division of the Bureau of Psychological Serv- ices instructed the group. Miss de Bruin and Nancy Jac- luette, Rushing Chairmen, have prepared a rushing source book designed to aid the rushing coun- selor "in her sincere endeavor to be effective in smoothing out prob- lems created by the rushing sys- tem." Summing up the task of the rushing counselors, Miss de Bruin considers the advisor's attitude the most vital thing. "She must be a counselor, and yet a friend, and still not become emotionally in- volved herself in the problems." By BARB HECHT "Freedom was my choice," com- mented Bohdan Pytel when asked the reason he sacrificed so much time and energy waiting for an opportunity to make the United States his permanent home. Pytel is a familiar person to many students because of his ac- tiveness in the Ukrainian student's club. According to Pytel, the pur- pose of' the club is to organize students, of Ukrainian descent American or foreign-born, for so- cial as well as political reasons. The members want people to recognize Ukraine ; and the fact that its people are now behind the "Iron Curtain" against their will. "The club would also like to par- ticipate and contribute to the Am- erican culture," Pytel said. Club Movie Televised Recently the 28 members made a movie which has been televised. In addition, they have been active in the International Center, mak- ing exhibitions, giving lectures and raising money for a library. "Through tle efforts of the club, better understanding for freedom and peace for all nations, includ- ing those who suffer under the Communist regime, may someday be a reality," Peel, the president, stated. Born in Tarnopol, in the west- ern part of Ukraine, Pytel lived with his two brothers and his par- ents until the German invasion of Poland in 1939. At that time, Pytel was just beginning high school in a part of Ukraine which was under Polish occupation. Communists Set Up Council As a result of the invasion, the Communists quickly moved into Tarnopol and set up their system, including a city council. Much against his will, Pytel was sent by the council to a Russian controlled school to continue his educatioh until the German in- vasion of Russia in 1941. The war resulted in so much chaos that all functions such as schooling, stopped.

In order to accomplish this, he had to walk 350 miles in a per- iod of about three weeks. At the time Pytel was 15 years old. After resting a year, while help- ing his father, Pytel continued his education at pre-business school. In 1943 the Germans decided to take students out of the school and put them to work in labor camps called "Baudienst." After three months, Pytel and a friend managed to escape. Joins Underground Pytel went directly to his home to tell his parents of his escape and of his plans to join the Ukrai- nian underground movement for the liberation of Ukraine from both the Germans and Russians. Five hours after his departure, the Germans searched his home. If he had been caught, he would have been shot. Until March, 1944, Pytel worked in the military intelligence serv- ice of UPA, located near his home. In March the Germans were forc- ed out of this region. Immediately following the exit of the Germans, the Russians returned to occupy the town. All of this commotion took place within two days of horror, in which the Russians savagely rav- aged the town and its inhabitants. In the meantime, Pytel had -been sent on a mission to procure sup- plies and was cut off from his UPA group. Ordered To March Five days later, the Russians ordered every man between 18 and 55 years to march in order to join and fight in the Russian ar- my. Pytel and, a friend managed to bribe a guard into letting them escape. Once again Pytel returned to his home to be hidden in an under- ground bunker, built for that pur- pose, for a period of five weeks. Finally his mother, who had been sneaking them food at night, gave them the mesage that the Rus- sians were evacuating the town in order to have a final bout with the Germans stationed across the riv- er. In addition, she informed them of an escape plan, which would get them to the German side. Pytel and his friends were ar- rested as spies by the Germans im- mediately after their escape. Thus, in May, 1944, he was confined to a prison camp. Attempted Escape, Four months later, completely disgusted with the hard labor and depressing living conditions, Pytel tried to escape by simply walking out. Unfortunately, he was caught by a Gestapo officer. His punish- ment was imprisonment in a Hun- garian-salt mine. While there, h learned to speak German and be- came an interpreter in exchang for extra food and lighter labor. Pytel acted as interpreter unti May, 1945, when he was finally liberated by the Americans. "Most liberated prisoners went home, but I chose freedom and stayed in West Germany in a re- fugee camp. First I attended the Ukrainian Teachers' Seminary and graduated in 1948. After thatI taught school in the refugee camp for two years," Pytel stated. Dream Comes True In 1950 his dream came true Pytel received a permanent visE and entered the United States. When he arrived in New York Pytel worked as an assistant cook at the Cardinal Spellman Hospita while learning the English lang- uage. For financial reasons, Pytel went to Detroit and worked until he was drafted by the United States Army in 1951. After his basic training, Pytel was sent to Japan where he work- ed in the communications service Upon his return to the United States in June, 1953, he went tc Detroit to stay with a brother. Pytel entered the University the next fall as a sophomore. At pre- sent, he is majoring in Slavic languages. After his graduation next year, he hopes to receive his masters degree at Harvard or Co- lumbia. :, i , I l 1 a 1 s "Shape Spree" Today FOR TOWN AND COUNTRY 302 South State Street 4 . i }+ i.
