Pop, Palms and Pins By Bruce Brient Shortly before school officially opened, the greeks rallied to the campus to con- duct their traditional rush week activities. The fraternities gave rush week its offi- cial opening with registration at 9:00 A.M. Thursday, September 10. Each of the five hundred-two men who registered toured five houses of his choice and returned to the dorm by 10:30 P.M. Friday morning the rushees began a tour of four houses, consuming more free cigarette and cokes, and shaking more hands. By registration time Saturday most men had made up their minds, but three more dates were held for the unde- cided. By 5:00 P.M. Saturday, four hundred thirty-nine men had pledged, and the male half of rush week was over. FREE pop and cigarettes, a prime reason for going through rush.
