' w iff Hifi ie- . iw... Ple-rush activities included msh counselors recmlting students to slgn up for msh. Among the activities for nish week, theme night at the sororities entertained the rushees. Photos by: P. McCann, K. Cusack, D. Kool. Plans for 1984 Rush Week began as soon as Rush Week ended last year. Each house was notified that applica- tions were available for rush coun- selors. Applications were filled out and interviews given, and by the decision of the executive council of the Panhel organization, rush counselors were chosen. The major difference between the soronty and fratemity rush was the formality of the sororities. The girls had more rules, such as the number of houses to go back to and being on time to each house. Each sorority served punch and snacks, where the fratemi- ties had a choice of whether or not to serve refreshments. One similarity was that each rush was a dry rush, which meant no alcohol. Although Rush Week ran smoothly, the intense heat made the long and 'irushed week even more difficult. ln total the FICjPanhel organiza- tions were pleased with the tum out, although there were many sighs of relief when the final event of the week, Calling Out, concluded. 19

Getting Away From It All The calculus test did not go well. Four different papers were due on the same day and there had been better days with the roommate. Where did everyone go to get away from it all? Each one of us had our oum special place to go forget the problems, clear the mind, and relax. Each one of us had a favorite hangout. Of course, some hangouts were more popular than others. No one could agree which hangout was best: each had its oum advantages. The dorm room was a place to just lay the head back and listen to the stereo, catch-up on letter writing, or watch some T. V. The library was the place to study, although that did not always work. For the nature and sunshine lovers, Olin Gardens, Bradley Park, or under a favorite tree in the Quad was perfect. But, as the weather became cooler, the hangouts changed. The Wharf was a place to shoot some pool and munch on some snacks. For food, many frequented Avanti's, Spud 'n' Sub, Mr. Chips, and good old McDon- ald's. Those over 21 enjoyed Lucky Lady, Rocky's, Confetti's, and T.J.'s. Some diligently kept lit at Hausler Hall with a weight or swim workout while others spent time at their Greek House. Finally, it was time to come back to reality and focus on academics, but only until the pressure built up and it was time to get away again. 20
