Try our ONE-STOP Laundry and Dry-Cleaning Service.. . Wash laun h and Dry your entire dry in an hour at our store. By BEATA JORGENSON 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. } * DRYERS Available to Dry Clothes Completely * SH I RTS Quick-Serviced in 2 days, " DRY CLEANING-- One-Day Service 4 DROP OFF and PICKUP service SOLVE ALL YOUR LAUNDRY AND CLEANING PROBLEMS * . at . . .

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.
