All Smiles And Small Talk . . . Imagine ... It is 90 degrees outside. You ' ve just finished lugging four suitcases, your hope chest and seventeen assorted boxes up seemingly endless flights of stairs, maybe three? Now, you ' ve got to put on your most durable, everlasting smile because ... it is Rush Week. Each rushee endures a week of examinations and scruitiny by eagle eyed members. It is a week of parties when conversation can range from Where are you from to What are you majoring in? , but when what rushees hopefully can find is a group which makes them feel at home. Many wondered if it was all worth while, but those who made it through that week are now Greek pledges and soon to be Greek Actives in one of six of Centenary ' s Greek Organizations. Sorority sisters Meg Curtis and Aimee Franklin anxiously await the end of Rush activities. Theta Chi members Take it Easy outside of the frat house. Kappa Sigma became 52 men strong with a pledge class of 14. Zeta Tau Alpha proudly displays their crest and letters outside the house.

23? mi r p Mattie awaits for caf violators to enter. ' I ' ve got to see your I.D. No exceptions. ' Vance Hughes seems to be enjoying his caf burger. Enjoy Your Meal!?! If you ' ve entered the Caf yet, you may have noticed the prominent sign proclaiming a $25 fine for removal of cafe- teria ware and food items. This is just the beginning of a reestablishment of caf policies. Besides the rule against bor- rowing any glasses, silverware, and such, there will also be a rule against any takeout meals. This includes cokes, coffee, water, and even ice cream cones. No outside glasses or cups will be allowed in the caf, either. If you try to foolishly get away with any of these rules, be forewarned: You may meet up with Mattie, the fierce (but likable) caf moniter, who has been hired to ensure the policies will be carried out. Other policies which will be in effect are simply old policies that have been reinstated. For instance, the doors will be locked between meals and no one will be allowed in before or after hours. Also, the kitchen will be off limits. For faculty and staff brown baggers , drinks and a prepared salad can be purchased for lunch. The drinks ca will be 254 per glass and prepared salads can be purchased for $1. Usual- ly on Tuesday evenings, a special meal will be served. These specialties may be a Mexican Fiesta . . an International Meal , or a Make your own Banana Split , to name a few. Plans for picnics have been made during the fall and the spring. For those times when you don ' t feel your best and are unable to make it to the meal, sick trays may be obtained by contacting your RD or RA for a sick tray request, filling it out, and getting a friend to bring the request to the caf. The reason we have all these wonderful new rules to follow is very basic to all of us: We need better food. In order to obtain the money to get better food, the caf is making these changes in hopes of saving money. According to Dottie Deaton, the caf manager, they are trying to up- grade the quality of the food by getting rid of the extra expenses. An expense survey will be taken later in the year to determine if there is a measurable difference in the num- ber of cokes, etc. that have been drunk. So, even if this is an imposition, try to grin and bear it. You may be grinning for another reason soon: You may have actually enjoyed your meal! by: Lea Burelbach ■ •■■■Hi SJ-L.-! ■■■■ ■ ■■■■■l rJ i — r --■■■■■ ■■■■■Hi. »j .: «;;; ■■■■iki «-» - r TIJ8222 ■ ■■■■(.. . -- --- jrri U law ' ■■■ — Ml — «■!

President Webb leads the recession of Faculty and Graduating Seniors. Convocations Offer More Than C.P. Credit The College believes that participation in corporate worship and learning of theological and spiritual truths are integral to the education of the whole person and strongly encourages regular attendance at the excellent programs in Brown Memorial Chapel and in Kilpatrick Auditorium. Recognizing the value of the gathering of the faculty, administration, and student body as a campus community from time to time, the faculty has established the period from 11:00 am to noon on Thursday as a period reserved for such gatherings for academic and religious purposes. No other meetings may be scheduled during this period, by either faculty or students. Cultural Perspective credit is given to stu- dents for this participation. 27
