drive for books to send to prisoners
of war, the scrap paper drives, and
similar projects. One sorority took
over the switchboard at the local
Red Cross unit.
Panhellenic Board, which heads the
Association, is composed of Miss Lau-
bengayer as president, Marcia Sharpe
as vice-president, Rosemary Klein,
secretary, Jean Wick, treasurer, and
Joyce Livermore, rushing secretary.
Regulates Rushing
The Board's primary executive pur-
pose is to regulate sorority rushing,
which is the Greek-letter method of
drawing new University women into
sorority organizations. To promote
fairness, Panhellenic Board has
drawn up a series of regulations
which will be distributed early in the
fall semester to freshman, transfer,
and upperclass women who are in-
terested in joining sororities.
While a few houses will hold in-
formal rushing for upperclassmen
and transfers during the fall term,
formal rushing will begin during the
second semester. The events will be
opened with a meeting, during the
fall semester, to explain to new stu-
dents the purposes and methods of
rushing, and another meeting at the
beginning of the spring term. Time
and dates for the gatherings will be
announced later.
There will be a two-week rushing
period, covering three weekends.
There will be rushing parties on Tu-
esdays, Thursdays, and three on each
weekend. Pledging will be held Ap-
ril 1.
A new contact rule will be used
this year. No freshmen may, Miss
Laubengayer said, be in contact with
a sorority woman unless an active
member of another sorority is pres-
ent at the time.
No house may at any time have a
membership, including pledges and
activities, exceeding sixty in num-
ber.

The secretary-treasurer, Pat Carr,
is incharge ofkeeping Assembly's
records and is concerned with finan-
cial records.
Last year Assembly sponsored two
main social functions, Assembly Ball
and Recognition Night, and the tra-
ditional events will in all probability
be continued this year.
Functions Modified
Both affairs underwent modifica-
tion. Assembly Ball was given in
conjunction with Panhellenic Boa-
rd's annual dance, Panhellenic Ball.
The joint affair, the first of its kind
on the campus, was called Boulevard
Ball, receiving its name from the
street signs set up in Waterman
Gymnasium, where the ball was held.
The entire site was decorated to re-
semble a park, with signs denoting
the various campus dormitories and
sororities indicating radiating streets.
Recognition Night is the successor
to Assembly Banquet, vetoed for the
first time last year by wartime food
shortages. Although dinner gave way
to a brief dessert at Recognition
Night, the traditional talks and a-
wards were presented. Geraldine El-
liott, a radio script writer, spoke, as
well as several campus activity heads,
and scholastic and activities awards
were presented to outstanding inde-
pendent coeds.

Scholarship
Mortarboard, Senior Society, Scroll
and Wyvern, are names signifying
superior achievement in the fields of
both scholastic and extra-curricular
activities, and the tins worn by the
limited number of women eligible for
the four campus women's honor so-
cieties are marks of distinction.
Mortarboard, the top national hon-
orary society for senior women, takes
into membership only those second
semester juniors who have a schol-
arship rating three tenths of a point
above campus average, the general
point rating being a B minus aver-
age. In addition to the scholastic
achievement, Mortarboard members
must be the most prominent women
in the junior class, those women who
will direct campus affairs during
their senior year.
SENIOR SOCIETY, which also has
a membership of twenty women, is
an honor society for senior independ-
ent women only, and bases its re-
quirements for membership on quali-
fications similar to those of Mortar-
board, with the principal exceptions
that the scholastic rating is not as
high and that no affiliated women
may be pledged.
Similar to Senior Society is
SCROLL activities honorary for sor-
ority women. The principal differ-
ence is the rule that no member of
Mortar Board may be tapped for
Scroll, so a, greater number of coeds
are consequently included in activi-
ties honorary societies.

Ex-Daily EditorC Heads Council
Of Outstanding Activities-Women
v
As the proverbial birds of a feath-
er, the campus' outstanding coed
personalities have flocked together
. to comprise the Women's War
Council.
Marge Hall, the president, is a
typical case of University Activities
Woman . . . a bundle of dynamite
packed into 5'1". Marge's original
hangout was The Daily, where she
worked up to become Associate Wo-
men's Editor before ditching the
newspaper business to become head
of all campus women.
Marge spent her early life in
China, where, so the tale goes, she
was frightened by a chimpanzee.
The shock checked the growth of
her hair, and consequently she has
sported a crewcut ever since. An-
other story has it that Marge has
been so busy running campus war

fund drives she never has time to
comb her hair, so she just cuts it
down to the scalp every Sunday
morning..
Speaking of war fund drives, Marge
ran three of them last spring
Red Cross, Infantile Paralysis and
Fresh Air Camp . . . and all three
were outstanding successes. Another
Hall accomplishment is two years'
service on the Women's Athletic
Board.
Mexico's Gain
Marge spent the summer in Mexico
dodging typhoid germs and studying
at the University of Mexico. Rumors
that she is studying revolutionary
techniques for use on the League are
unfounded, as are parallel rumors
that she plans to add burros to the
WAA riding club schedule.
In addition to journalistic abil-
ity, Marge made herself invaluable
on The Daily by keeping a file of
nickels for use in the coke ma-
chine. went on the blink soon after
"Scoop" Hall departed.
Viewing Marge from the heights is
Pat Coulter, the War Council's tow-
er-of-strength personnel director and
vice-president. Pat is known to
campus women as the D. S. of Junior
Girls Play fame, a characterization
which, Pat says, has frightened her
away from Health Service for all
time..
To 'Doctor' the Help Shortage
Instead of new kinds of tumors,
Pat will concern herself with the ills
caused by the local labor shortage.
During the summer Pat pitched in
herself by dishing hash in the West
Quadrangle chow line. Therefore,
the local Navy ulit regards Miss
Coulter with pleasant associations-
with the only meat and butter on
campus, when things got tough.
But Pat's first love is horses . .
Coulter and the colts is a bad but
oft-used pun. Pat's earliest campus
days were occupied with Crop and
Saddle riding club, of which she
subsequently became president.,
The "Kappa bunny-rabbit," who
Although her sorority sisters insist
"she's a very normal person," Nata-
lie has had more than a normal indi-
vidual's share of campus positions,
starting out as a sophomore with the
presidency of Wyvern and chairman-
ship of Soph Project.
Maybe She'll Clean the League
Jean Loree is- glad to resume her
place as secretary of the War Coun-
cil, after spending the summer play-
ing maids in Repertory Players' dra-
matic productions. Although she once
played a Roman centurion, Loree
was first, last and almost always the
maid.
The rumor is that the Chi
Omega house was untouched by
the help shortage. Jean merely
rehearsed her roles at strategic
moments.
Debbie Parry is the creator of
"Thumper," the little rabbit whose
sayings have become law about the
League and the TSO buildings. Be-
sides drawing bunnies, Deb found
time to head Junior Girls Project
and become a member of Phi Beta
Kappa during the past year.
Marge, Pat, Natalie, Jean and Deb-
bie are your executive board of the
War Council for the coming year. It
should be a most interesting one.
Prof. Theodore M. Newcomb of the
sociology department will return to
the permanent teaching stiff begin-
ning the latter half of the Summer
Term. He has been in Washington,
D.C., for the past two years with the
Communications Division.
