The trials and tribulations of the
fraternity pledge have already been
discussed, and now it is time for
the sorority pledge to have her say.
It all began in a mass confusion,
which happened to be known as
Rush Week. By the end of a gruel
ing three days, Polly, the soon-to-be
pledge, was a victim of aching
feet, high blood pressure and hay
fever.
The first Monday night dinner
was really thrilling. All the girls
ang sorority songs, and Polly
cuan t know any of the words. But
she hummed loudly anyway. After-
ward, all of the pledges trooped
to what is known as pledge meet
ing. The pledge trainer sat in a
chair and talked for hours about
things Polly was supposed to do.
Phone Duty
First, the pledge trainer men
tioned phone duty. All Polly had to
do was answer the phone for an
hour twice a week, and that didn't
sound hard.
On Tuesday, Polly had her first
pnone duty. It was terrible. First
of all, an electric storm had fixed
everything the buzzer system did
n't work. Every time Polly shouted
someone's name so they could an
swer the phone, there was almost
an echo of "QUIET HOURS!" Nev
er having heard of such an instl
tution as "quiet hours," Polly yelled
names for an hour.
The next thing the pledge trainer
mentioned was activity points,
which evidently represented hours
spent in campus activities. Polly
was supposed to gather some 30
points during the semester.
House Points
Also, there were house points.
Polly was supposed to get 30 of
those, too. Polly knew 30 and 30
made 60, and in hours that meant
a lot of time.
At all times, she was forsaking
all else to remember who she was
and what she represented. Next to
that, , she was to make a 5.5 av
erage in order to be initiated.

Journalistic
Scholarships
Now Offered
Stanford University Institute for
Journalistic Studies is now receiv-
ling applications for graduate
scholarships in journalism for the
1955-56 academic year. The schol
arships carry stipends from $750
to $2,000 and total $10,100.
Five of the awards are grants
for which no services are required.
In addition, the Institute is offer
ing two scholarships of $2,000 each
for Asian nationals preparing to
work in the Orient. Part time edi
torial assistance is expected for
these scholarships.
Jan. 15 is the deadline for ap
plications. Requests for additional
information should be addressed
to the Director, Institute for Jour
nalistic Studies, Stanford Univer-
ly had been to all of her classes
and received assignments that she
was certain would take all semest
er to finish. She was near a state
of collapse when an active told
her they were for the next class
period.
Polly went to her P. E. class with
a dark foreboding, which she cul
tivated because she had disliked
it in high school. The first day,
she was handed a long, heavy stick
and told it was for field hockey.
Field Hockey
The whole class then practiced
swinging the stick, while an ath
letic-looking lady in shorts told
them how to do it. The lady kept
walking up and down in front of
Polly's stick telling Polly she wasn't
hitting hard enough.
Polly mustered all her strength
and let fly while the lady was
standing in front of her. Naturally,
Polly hit the lady square in the
shin. She noticed a distinct cool-
ing-off in her teacher's attitude
toward her.
Outside of P. E., she seemed to
be doing well in her classes. Every
thing was one long scramble of
studies, points and all other sorts
of things that she was supposed
to be doing.
Polly soon went to her first so
cial function. All the pledges stood
around the door in a scared hud
dle, trying to show personality plus
and remember what they were representing.
Tongue-Tied
The fraternity men walked in the
door, the braver ones first. All
of them looked as if they would
like to find some convenient place
;o hide for the duration of the
function.
After an hour of strained conver
sation and even more strained
smiles, the men left. Polly's jaws
hurt from smiling and she was
worrying about the impression she
had made. Would that darling boy
call next week? She had been
tongue-tied with, him for a whole
hour, but maybe he liked the quiet
type.
It is now approximately the
middle of the semester, and Polly
no longer feels that she is unduly
burdened with studies and her
pledgeship.
As a matter of fact, she. is
feeling rather light-hearted about
the whole thing. Since school start
ed, she had been wondering if her
old beau from home, a fraternity
pledge, had forgotten her.
Saturday night he called and
wanted to see her. When he got to
the dorm, he looked exhausted. He
said it was the first time he had
gotten out of the house since school
started, and he had a million things
io ao.
rouy breathed a sigh of rejief
and finally realized that someone
was in worse condition than she
was. A fraternity pledge does
have a harder row to hoe, and
life is at best a struggle anyway.

What has happened to the Uni
versity's annual "Scrap" or
Olympics Meet between freshmen
and sophomores?
The background of this past cus
tom dates back years ago when the
University was very young. Fresh
man and sophomore men were
constantly fighting and scrapping
among themselves, and the result
was often bloodshed. The batt!.3
were spread out all over the com-
pus and destroyed property and
buildings. The students really
"tore up jack!"
Whe.n Chancellor Andrews came
to the University in the early
1900's, he would not rtand for their
rowdyism. One day there was a
fight in front of his place, and he
came out with - his cane and
shouted at them to stop. The fel
lows would not stop, so he waded
in among them and started hit
ting them with his cane. Finally
he separated the ruffnecks.
After that incident, Andrews
suggested to faculty members that
Jthey substitute a wholesome activ.
ity for the bloody feuds. An olvm.
pic meet was decided upon h
which there would be ' athletic
sports such as rope pulling, wrest
ling, boxing, broad jumping and
pole vaulting. Points were to be
given and the winner declared
Any sophomore or freshman male
student "could participate in the
events.
These activities were held be.

on a Saturday morning before

ent Stadium field. The varione
sports displayed beauty and served
a constructive purpose.

never was started again. It faded

ACCORDING TO THI LARGEST and latest coast-to-coast
college survey, college smokers prefer Luckiea and
by a wide margin. The No. 1 reason: Luckies taste
better. Thousands of students appreciate Luckies'
better taste almost as much as the pair in the Droodle
above, titled: Sweethearts attempting to kiss and
.enjoy better-tasting Luckies at same time. Luckies
taste better for good reasons. First of all, Lucky
Strike means fine tobacco. Then, "It's Toasted" to
taste better. This famous Lucky Strike process tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it
taste even better cleaner, fresher, smoother. So,
enjoy the better-tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.
