She found no difference in
rushing the girls. Miss Dubas
also felt that although the
new system didn't eliminate
pressure, it relieved it.
"It was wonderful," ex
claimed Jan Allen, Alpha
Phi rush chairman. Although
she felt that the houses
should more closely follow
limitation rule on what they
could say to the rushee, she
believes that the system
worked out very well.
Corrine Newton. Alpha Xi
Delta rush chairman, ex
plained that although in past
years her sorority had never
room rushed as much as oth
er houses, the new rules
worked out very nicely. She

know each other and the ac
tives got to meet more
people.

pleased with the no room
rushing rule and we enjoyed
it also," said Susie Hyland,
Delta Delta Delta rush chair-:
man. The rushees seemed
v e r v comfortable

"The best thing that ever
hit the Nebraska campus,"
was the way Jeanne
Thorough, Delta Gamma rush
chairman, described the no
room rushing rule. She said
it gave the actives and rush
ees a chance to talk more
during a less emotional Rush

thinking done with no nerv

feeling of participation in
Rush Week."

ma Phi Beta rush chairman.

tremendous, more fun and
more relaxing.

relaxed and it went so
smoothly," she continued. She

ter that no preference partv
I was stressed this year.
It is a very fine system
which helps the rushee out
so much and is more relax

rushees enjoyed the parties

chairman. "It is tremendous
and should be continued," i
she believes. It was fabulous i
and everything went in line'
she concluded.
Cathie Origer, Pi Beta Phi j
rush chairman, said it was '
"great." The rushees don't!
feel so pressured and it gives
the actives a better chance
to get to know the girls.
' Since it was in its first
year, it was a little hard to
adjust to. Some houses didn't
follow the rules as closely
as they should be or will be
followed," Miss Origer be
lieves. In Favor
".Although we never did it
before, we were very much
in favor of stopping room
rushing on campus." said

works just as well as the

was more fun as a whole,"
exclaimed Linda Gilman.
Zeta Tau Alpha rush chair

there had been some worry

to make on the elimination of
room rushing.
Upperclass pledge C I e t a j
Bode, Pi Beta Phi. went
through Rush Week under
both systems and liked this
Rush Week better. She said

pressure put on the rushees
and they weren't singled

houses could be improved.

to death about going into a
roo m," exclaimed Connie
