Rush Week called 'successful'
'Frustration oasis' beats blahs
Rush Week activities were
termed "exceedingly sue.
cessful" by both Mrs. Jayne
Anderson, Panhellenic adviser
and Wally Dean,
I n t e r f r a t ernity Council
treasurer.
Of 513 prospects registered
for the sorority rush program,
410 pledged. And of these, 360
received their first choice, ac
cording to the Panhellenic of
fice. Fraternities engaged i n
"wildcat" rush this summer, a
system dependent on personal
contact between rushees, rush
chairmen, and house members
during the summer. Fraterni
ties pledged 285 men in the
summer rush, and 283 during
formal rush week activities.
MRS. ANDERSON remarked
the numbers involved in
sorority rush were in keeping
with the last three years.
Delay over!
ASUN 'disk' shop
opens next week
Despite a year's delay and
change of command, the ASUN
record shop will open next
week in room 116 Nebraska
Union.
Bill Chaloupka, who took over
as project chairman last sum
mer, said the opening delap
was due to remodeling and
difficulties with selecting a dis
tributor. ASUN finally decided to
work with an independent dis
tributor instead of with the
National Student Association
as the previous chairman had
intended, Chaloupka said.
Chartered as a non-profit cor
poration, Chaloupka said the
shop is "not trying to make
money but provide service."
Records will be sold to students
at lower-than-store prices.
The difference between the
record cost to the shop and to
students will be spent on ad
vertising and staff salaries
Chaloupka said. All staff pos
itions have been filled he said.
We llvo In friendship,
In warm community . . .
we are a happy family.
We experience fulfillment
In living totally
for God's children.
Join us as a Priest
.or Brother.

Dean said fraternities took
104 more men this year than
last. This increase was due to
the new program, he added.
"Rush week is a long way
from the perfect system and
through "wildcat" rush we
tried to force houses to contact
those who normally wouldn't go
through rush," Dean added.
"The new system also doesn't
force blacks to go through
formal rush."
Dean said he knew of a
number of fraternities that
made sincere efforts to contact
minority students. Figures on
the number of minority
students pledging were not
available.
OPPOSITION TO RUSH
week activities was voiced in a
letter addressed to the rushees
which contained "questions and
tatements highly critical of the
Greek system at the Universi
ty," said Dean. The letter was
read to the fraternity rushees
by IFC officials.
They were "underwhelmed
and snowed ni discernable re
action," according to Dean.
"As far as causing any pro
blem, I have to say that it
didn't," remarked Mrs.
Anderson.
SORORITY RUSH was con
ducted in the same manner as
last year, but the male and
female rushees were housed in
adjoining dorms and took their
meals together this year,
rather than being separated as
in other years. Dean com
mented that this rush week
seemed "a lot quieter and less
confused."
"I think the future trend will
be more towards all wildcat
rush and away from rush
week," Dean added.
Mrs. Anderson said, "most of
the girls I have talked with
really enjoyed rush week and
even some who chose not to
pledge thought that it had gone
well."

The University Counseling
Center had the right remedy
for students suffering from the
"registration blahs" last week.
The Counseling Center of
fered Alka-Seltzer and candy
at their "frustration oasis"
counter to students who fin
ished the long lines and red
tape of registration. The Coun
seling Center also bestowed
upon students a B.S. Degree
in Registration that cited the
student for displaying "toler
ance for ambiquity and red
tape, together with grea per
sonal stamina."
The "frustration oasis" was
a promotion to advertise the
fact that the Counseling Center
will be moving soon from their
over-crowded offices in the Ad
ministration Building to Seaton
Hall.
Debate meeting
The first meeting of students
interested in intercollegiate de
bate is scheduled to be held

in Burnett Hall 105.
This activity is open to all
students regardless of their
major field, according to debate
squad organizers. Previous ex
perience is unnecessary.
