Rush One of the most familiar four-letter words on any college campus is the word rush. On some of the larger campuses, where Greek Row bears more than a passing resemblance to a planned community, this innocent little word probably strikes more terror into undergraduate hearts than pop quizzes, sadistic profs and blind-dates combined. Here at OSC, although the greek organiza- tions are not yet as large nor as firmly entrenched, the spirit which begins with this little word is nonetheless bountiful. Every fall and spring, as regularly as the movement of the tides, a new group of pledges are intro- duced to the philosophies and habits of the Greek Way. This involves, among other things, being criticized (objectively and at times subjectively) by a big sister or brother. It also involves a lot of work and a lot of personal discomfort. Sometimes these discomforts are given the label: this is to determine whether or not the lowly pledges con function together as a cohesive unit; at other times it is thought of as simply giving the pledges a hard time. At last how- ever, the tests and the hard times and the projects are over and the pledges, finished with toil and anguish, are welcomed into the fold. A group of potential rushes enjoy themselves at a getacquainted dance held at the beginning of the formal rush period. Elucidating on the above line about toil and anguish, a group of Zeta pledges enjoy a moment of play before embarking on a pledge project. It is probably one of those tests of their ability to function together as o cohesive unit. Sigma Phi pledges, left to right. Rich Harris, Tom Dickman, Steve Altig, Emory Frink, Dave Hopkins, Bill Lee, Pete Conaty, Larry Ray, and Mike Bula complete their lost assignment as they dedicate a cake at Paddle Presents. This is the night that they w ill become full-fledged members. 21

Getting Oro inized The OSCARS, a campus special interest club, busy themselves in setting up a ham radio set. They used the display to show potential members how to send and receive messages from such far-away places as Hawaii, San Diego and La Hobra. ,jJ»Mi f ' TT ' »TV SC DMH Don Rickner of the OSC Drama Club poses before his club s display. The poster indicates that a busy season lay ahead. One of the baffling problems facing ' the activities minded newcomer at OSC is with which of the dozens of clubs and organizations should he affiliate. One way of resolving the conflict is to join all of them. However, since meeting times often conflict, and since time and grades are the ever fleeting things that they are, most students find that they simply must make a choice. And usually only one organization is chosen. Most important, perhaps, is the type of organization joined. The main groups at OSC are; social, service, special interest, religious, and professional. Diversified as their scope and purpose all of these types of organizations have three things in common: They exist for the pleasure, the betterment, and the education of their npembers. In an effort to aid the student in making his choice, the various organizations hold each fall an organizations day during which the prospective member can meet the people in the club or organization in which he feels interested. Nearly every table in the patio was taken by one of the OSC organizations on Organiza- tions Day last fall. The Greeks, special interest groups, and politicians were among those par- ticipating.
