When. a student first opens the
door to his college room, exclama-
tions of "It's so tiny!" or "It's so
bare!" are often heard.
Rooms are small and the stan-
dard furniture consists only of a
desk, bed, chair, dresser and usu-
ally one lamp. The walls are pastel
or neutral and in the dormitory
handbook of rules it probably says
that walls and furniture can't be
painted and nails can't be used.
put, by this time the first dis-
appointment is wearing off and
ideas are forming in how to make
the room bright and liveable.
Such a transformation needn't
cost a fortune either!
For Fun and Study
The first standard items pur-
chased are bedspreads and a rug.
Since the room is to be used for
both study and fun, the main ob-
jective will be to make it appear
like a sitting room.
Bedspreads in bright solid colors
or in the new dark plaids can ea-
sily make the bed appear like a
couch. With a multitude of stuffed
animals and a decorative pillow,
the interior decoration project is
well underway.
Either a shag, a printed cotton
or a fiber rug will hide the bare
floor and add a bit of hominess.
No Mess Here I
To keep clutter off desks and
dressers, a bulletin board can ei-
ther be purchased inexpensively or
originally created to fit the room's
decor.
Pin up boards can be made from
plywood and hung on the wall with
sturdy ribbon. Long sheets of plas-
tic can be transformed into cute
bulletin boards by attaching them
to wooden coat hangers.
In the line of novelties college
pennants, maps, pictures from the
lending art print collection, an
octopus on the wall or foreign
made masks offer an opportunity
for the owner to sign his personal
signature.
A little time, a little money and
a little ingenuity will be amply re-
warded when someone says, "It's
the prettiest room on campus."
By ROSE PERLBERG'
When most of the University's
population was still in the pack-
ing stage, sorority members were
back on campus making last-min-
ute plans for the fall rushing pro-
gram.
As early as last May, actives in
each of the 21 chapter houses had
held special meetings to discuss
entertainment for the four sets of
parties and final desserts that be-
gin at 7 p.m. tomorrow and end
with pledging on Sunday, Oct. 7.
During the summer ideas were
formulated and put into working
order.
enough," she laughed, "complica-
tions in one form or another al-
ways arise."
She went on to tell of the time
a rushing counselor lost half of
her group en route from one house
to another and the frantic phone
calls that poured into the Panhel
Office as the different sororities
found the lost women on their
doorsteps.
Fraternity Pranksters
"Then, of course," Miss Wheel-
er added. "we have to contend
with the fraternity pranksters who
never fail to dress up as women
and rush the houses."
Recent alumnae have even tried
to put the members on their toes
by coming back to their old houses
disguised as rushees, measuring
TV sets and checking other facili-
ties and in general making friend-
ly nuisances out of themselves.
This year's rushing program will
run along the same lines as those
in previous years. Although en-
rollment has increased consider-
ably, Miss Wheeler notes that the
corresponding number of rushees
are not in proportion. "We were
surprised that more women did
not sign up," she said.

Daily Sings
This week and most of last, with
houses in a confusion of redecor-
ation and a new arrangement, af-
filiated women managed to fit in
several hours of song practice
daily.
In every house, order sheets were
of cartons of cigarettes and boxes
of cookies that will be consumed
in the sororities' yearly getting-to-
know-you parties.
Speaking of rushing from the
sorority's side, Rushing Chairman
Carol Wheeler emphasized the fact
that activesar just as anxious to
make good a impression as the
rushees. "We're quite aware of the
fact that the women visiting our
houses are judging us just as we
are them," she said.
". ..Most Hectic Weeks
Miss Wheeler added that the few
weeks -of rushing are among the
most hectic in the school year.
"As if having hundreds of
strange faces passing through your
house each day isn't confusing
