28 THE JAYHAWKER RUSH! The Fine Art of High Pressure Salesmanship as Practiced by K. U. Greeks Fools No One But the Most Innocent Rushee AND you can room with Ray Eb- ling, seems to be the rush talk that the members of the Violet Club told those innocent freshmen, who were con- sidering joining the lodge this year. Of course, when all the boys got together on their stories, they felt sure that no mat- ter how large Ray ' s room might be, fif- teen couldn ' t live together comfortably, even with the great Ebling. But this was only one of the many stories that came drifting in after rush week. The Phi Delts, after pledging a few boys, now have a small chapter of eighty wearing the sword and shield. The Sigma Chis are still talking about their Charles Godfrey from California no doubt a prize. One might wonder why the Sigs have to go clear to California, where probably they ' ve never heard of the Lawrence Grand Hotel occupants, to pledge their prizes. The Beta ' s adminis- tered a whacking bump to a number of Hill houses and, incidentally, got even with the A. T. O.s for the Cox episode of last year, when they pledged Bob Morton. And one almost must mention the bump that the gentleman (?) at the Beta house received. Dick Newlin, a Beta brother, fooled them all, and pledged Sigma Nu those boys out on West Tenth should certainly b ' e congratulated. The Phi Psis red-headed freshman, who answers to the name of Roy Lee Stein- heimer, has all the coeds fighting for dates with him. Delta Upsilon took a number of prizes but then don ' t they always? And then the lads of Phi Gam- ma Delta have reason to be proud of Proctor Ritchie. But now, how do all these freshmen feel, now that they are no longer kings? They have had their day, and are no doubt recalling with fond regret those memories of days when a wrong move didn ' t mean a beating. The bright and shiny new car which Jack Spines of Wichita brought with him this year when he moved in with the Delta Taus is quite handsome. Walter Krause of Kansas City swelled the popu- lation of the A. T. O. Ranch an ' mighty proud the lads are of him. Their gift to the coeds of the Hill is the handsome Robert Doolittle of Kansas City. by ANN HUBBARD The Kappa Sigs are all set up over their Harold Bratches, another flash from Ark City. We wonder if their large new house had anything to do with the size of their pledge class or if they, like the Phi Delts, just couldn ' t pass any of them up ' cause they were such good boys. The exuberant southern hospitality of the Pi K A ' s won for them that personable Kansas City pledge, Howard Dunham. In spite of the new rushing rules for girls used for the first time this year, inside information from each sorority in- dicates that they got the best of the best. The Chi Omegas led in quantity, pledg- ing twenty-six girls. From all reports they got quality as well as quantity, and if June Kirkham is an example, one can easily believe it. And now that famous Gamma Phi, Julia Markham, sends her attractive little sister Mary up here to join RUSH! that same group. The sisters of the cres- cent will no doubt find Bertha White ' s closets full of skiing suits, riding habits, and polo ensembles (space forbids men- tioning the rest), a welcome addition to their collective wardrobes. The wearers of the golden kite have spoken quite highly of that ravishing blond, Meredith Dyer, who hails from Kansas City. Incidentally, they also pledge that very lovely daughter of Dean Werner ' s, whose name is Dor- othy. The Kappas snatched Mary Louise Kanaga from all the sororities, and Dor- othy Blue, the vacillating Lawrence rushee, who changed her mind three times before her final decision was reached, was undoubtedly worth the anxiety she caused the members of K. K. G. Pi Phi captured that gorgeous red- head from Wichita Lorraine Luther. Bette Lemon ' s little sister Dorothy must be mentioned as a very charming miss. T3 T TCjT T | The Alpha Delta Pis, headed by their HwWil. most attractive president, Marie Russel, could not help getting some lovely addi- tions to their chapter. The Alpha Chis drew from the city Helen Elsie Green, the girl with the per- sonality plus. And we can ' t overlook in our survey the charming Dorothy Mae Phillips of Colby. The Whiteford sisters of Lawrence should afford the girls of the lyre much happiness with their gracious hospitality. We thought the Delta Zetas were telling us a fish story when they mentioned Margaret Trout of Shallow Water but now that we know her we realize what a valuable addition she will be to her sorority. The A. O. Pis seem to have done quite well this year. Perhaps this is because of their clever scheme of having girls dressed as bell boys present their rushees at after- noon teas with telegrams urging them to pledge A. O. Pi. The Alpha Gams and Sigma Kappas chose a small and select group of attractive girls. Rush week has now passed, however, and broken hearts have mended. Events that never could be forgotten have already faded from the girls ' memories. The sororities are fast returning to nor- mal with such remarks as, Oh, well, I really don ' t think we would have wanted her anyway. How sour the grapes are this season! Both men and women of the Greek letter houses are finding that some of the so-called prizes really are only human, and some of the ones kept more in the background during those worried days are of the best. Listen in on the conversation of any group of actives while coking or beering (depending on the gender of said actives) in a Hill hang-out. Betty? I don ' t think she ' d have fitted in at our house at all. She doesn ' t look so cute on the Hill as she did Rush week. They ' re welcome to her. Or Bill? Say, we were damn lucky to get bumped on him. There aren ' t enough paddles in any house on this Hill to make a good freshman out of him! Give the bumps a semester ' s time and remarks like these will be obsolete. Instead these actives may speak of having Betty over f or lunch because she ' s so much fun or of taking Bill on a party with them because he ' s such a good Joe to talk (?) with. Our sincerest .sympathy goes out to those deluded youngsters who had not (Continued on page 67)
