Women Discuss Varied Reactions To Rushing Homecoming Preparations Will Begin Committee Members Plan Mass Meeting j Tomorrow at Union In anticipation of Homecoming, slated for the Minnesota game, Saturday, Oct. 27, a mass meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Rm. 3K of the Union. At the short meeting, Central Committee members will explainj jobs to students interested in be- coming sub-chairmen or commit- tee workers. Positions available to coeds and men include checking for dupli- cation in displays, securing a band and setting a theme for the weekend, getting judges and ar- ranging for ads in the booklet guide to the displays that will be published. The entire event will be co-or- dinated by the Central Commit- tee, with all materials being pur- chased through its auspices. Members of this year's Central Committee include Joe Sherman and Mary Klauer, general chair- men; Chris Dittmar, secretary; Richard Herron, finance chair- man, and Bob Nissly and Ethel Buntman, ticket chairmen. Arranging for the band will be Larry Donae, while Tom Calca- terra and Jane Prindeville plan decorations. Programs and patrons will be under the direction of Bernadine Bartram, with Jim Blum and Gretchen Webster handling dis- plays and Tom Platt in charge of buildings and grounds. Publicity co-chairmen, John Hubbard and Joan Pfeiffer, point out that tomorrow's mass meet- ing provides an excellent oppor- tunity for new students to get into campus activities. Couples will dance to the music of the bands of Paul Brodie and Don Kenney at the annual I-Hop, to be presented from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in the League Ball- room. Theme of the dance, presented by Assembly Association, will be "Campus Kick-Off". Entertain- ment will be on the agenda during intermission. Tickets for the event will be on sale Thursday and Friday on the Diagonal, in the Administration Building and in the League Un- dergraduate Office. I-Hop, which was originally called A-Hop, was started by As- sembly Association as a project to earn money for the University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp. From 1948 to 1950, the dance was given jointly by Assembly and the Association for Independent Men (AIM). It was then called A-A Hop, using the initials of both organizations. In 1950, two orchestras were Staff Tryouts Coeds interested in joining the Women's Staff of The Daily may either attend the general tryout mass meetings to be held at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow or 4:15 p.m. Thursday at the Student Publications Building, or may sign up at the special women's meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, October 12. Assembly, IHC To Give IHop, Dance Plannedi for 'Little ClUb' By ROSE PERLBERG While sorority members caucus in smokey "hash sessions" to dis- cuss rushees, the objects of their conversation are holding similar judgment meetings in women's dorms all over campus. One such group recently sat airing opinions of University af- filiates gathered during a foot- sore tour of houses and the first set of, parties. Although they had returned to the dorms with diverse reactions towards the Greek letter clans, the rushees found themselves agree- ing unanimously on several ppints. Second Set Coeds who are rushing may pick up invitations today at the League for the second set of parties that begins at 7 p.m. tonight and will continue to- morrow and Thursday even- ings. Casual dress, similar to that worn at the mixers, will be . appropriate .for .this . set. They will be held for one hour at each house with special en- tertainment planned. First and most strongly they felt that the whole atmosphere tended to become "false". As one rushee put it, "everyone is trying so hard to make a good impression on ev- eryone else that it can't help but turn into a phony affair.' Another laughingly quipped that if she had to smile again that night she thought her cheek muscles would give out! As the coeds pitted the merits of one house visited against anoth- er, individual attention received in each seemed to be a determin- ing criterion. Too often they complained of that "left-out feeling" gained when an affiliate in talking to two rushees directed her conversation mainly to one "while the other sat dumbly in the middle turning her head from side to side, as if watch- ing a tennis match." Some rushees were concerned because the sorority women they met at first had failed to intro- duce them to any of her sisters; others felt that they had been "pushed through the receiving line of smiling faces so fast that it all seemed a big grinning blur." One of the group expressed sentiments of all as she asked per- plexedly, "I wonder how they can possibly decide whom to take in such a short time and with suck limited contact?" Critical as they were of their first taste of sororities and the rushing process, rushees comments were far from one-sided. "I guess the sorority gals were just as much at a loss for conver- sation as we," one rushee mused. The others seemed to find that explanation condoned their com- plaints that they repeated the same things over and over again; but they all smilingly agreed when the speaker added that she "would be able to say her name, where she was from and what courses she was taking in her sleep that night!" The "united front" that mem- bers of the different chapters ex- hibited did not fail to impress all of the coeds. "You're aware of that especially during the group singing," a rushee commented. "They mustl have practiced very hard," she continued, "but it was worth it. You feel that each sorority is really a closely-knit unit and it's a good feeling." Another coed marvelled at the actives' feats of memory. "I think it's wonderful if they can ever re- member any one individual with the hundreds of girls they have trooping through each house," she exclaimed. All had praise for the systematic way in which the rounds from house to house were scheduled, al- though they admitted as they lay back on beds and easy chairs and stretched their toes in stocking feet, that the excursions were "downright tiring" and "murder on the feet." HEADQUARTERS for --Da1y-vern Soden THE KICK-OFF -- Coeds display the collegiate spirit as they carry out the theme for the annual N-Hop, "Campus Kick-Off", which will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in the League Ballroom. used for the first time in the dance's history, to satisfy the dancer's varied tastes in music. This practice of engaging two bands has become a custom since then. The name of the dance was changed in 1952, since the AIM was no longer in existence. At this time Assembly Association decided to work with the Inter-House Council, and the annual dance ac- quired the name of I-Hop, with the "I" standing for independent, which the organizers felt was more meaningful.
