Students Get Involved In Academics And Activities OCTOBER The Wesleyan community welcomed the cooler weather of October and Wes- leyannes began soccer practice wNch gave freshmen and new students an in¬ troduction to the first inter-collegiate sport on campus. A few concerned students were involved in the Alumnae Phonathon which was held in the Rec Room. Fa two weeks, students and alumni telephoned friends of Wesleyan and asked fa donations to the Loyalty Fund. Fathers were welcomed on campus by Wesleyannes for a weekend of squae dancing, sports, and eating. The yearly event gave families a chance to relax and spend some time together. Halloween was a time fa students to en¬ joy the festivities of the first big event of fall semester. A witches rise and costume contest culminated in the celebration at the Halloween Banquet held on the Mount Vernon porch. The end of October meant that fall se¬ mester was half over with students con¬ centrating on papers and the expecta¬ tion of Thanksgiving break. 1.

0 Controversy Colored The Tradition Of Rat Morning came earlier than expected on the third Saturday in September. Persons was raided by the sophomores who pulled sleepy Golden Hearts out of their rooms and down to the fountain only bo be herded out behind the Wesleyan lake to a rat auction. The agenda for the rest of the morning con¬ sisted of fountain games, tug-of-war. and getting acquainted with bad-ratters; the afternoon was spent with good-ratters. Everyone thought Rat was over by Satur¬ day dinner. The Golden Hearts were sur¬ prized when the Purple Knights escorted them to Porter Auditorium for Rat Court. There the most spirited of the freshmen were chosen for the honor of lowly rat and received special nooses that had been handed down for years. After court was adjourned the good-ratters took their rats back to the fountain for an unexpected event: the Life March. The Life March symbolized the end of initiation for the fresh¬ man class and the beginning of the Golden Hearts ' sisterhood at Wesleyan. No year before this one had there been such controversy over Rat. Due to the many opinions campus-wide. Dr. Hicks formed an ad-hoc committee to investigate the ne¬ cessity of Rat. The committee of selected faculty and students evaluated surveys sent throughout the student body. They made proposals to improve the tradition of Rat by making it a voluntary activity; one to be enjoyed by choice. The questioning of Rat proved to be a sensi¬ tive subject among Wesleyannes. Some felt the tradition was essential and served a vi¬ tal purpose in uniting the freshman class. Others seemed to think the blind accep¬ tance of this tradition was not the proper course of action for the college in this day and time. Sophomore class president. Beth Dilworth summerizes Rat in this way: To see Rat and experience it are two different things. I thought it was spectacular when I was a freshman, but the feeling goes be¬ yond ' spectacular ' when you ' re doing it as a sophomore ... No one could go through Rat without undergoing the life March. ' This is what pulls Rat together. This shows the true Wesleyan sisterhood.
