McBee Praises
New IBM Rush
By DIANE STEPP
Dean of Women Louise McBee said today that the IBM system
used during winter rush was successful and saved many ho'urs
of clerical work for Panhellenic Council.
The system lessens the chance of human errors,” she said,
and saves hours of sorting cards and writing invitations.” Miss
McBee continued by saying the

system was a sound one and !
that it “worked just fine.”
STATISTICS CITED
According to a release of \
winter rush satisfies, by the [
time preferential parties rolled
around, 36 per cent of the
rushees had dropped out vol
untarily and only 50 per cent
of 710 girls going through had
signed preferentials.
•Only nine sororities filled
their winter rush quotas of 22,
and five sororities are now
eligible to participate in “wild
cat” rush. Those sororities not
having a total of 84 members
can participate in wildcat.
"Any girl interested in par
ticipating in wildcat rush
should contact Miss Caryl
Lenahan,” said Miss McBee.
DROPPED OUT
Thirteen per cent more girls
voluntarily dropped out of rush
winter quarter than fall quar
ter, according to statistics re
leased .by the University.
Dean McBee said the in
creased drop-out rate could be
due to the fact that those go
ing through fall rush were \
upperclassmen and knew more
about which sorority they were
interested in and whether they
wanted to pledge at all.
On the other hand, she said,
it could be that some of the
freshmen participating in win
ter rush were not as final in
their decisions.

The faculty of the Univer

has been most productive in
publishing works throughout
the past years. And, this
year seems to be one of the
most fruitful.
Some of the most recent
publications deal with subjects
ranging from Jonathan Swift
to Thomas Holcroft, an 18th
century novelist.
Marlon Montgomery, who
recently published a book of ;
poetry called “Htones from
