 What a Feeling! RUSH 1983 Sorority rush was held September 29-October 2. Ninety- seven women registered to participate in this time-consuming, but important aspect of Greek life. Each group of rushees went to each of the four parties on Thursday from 5:45-7:30 p.m. All women were invited by at least one house to the parties on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, 79 women attended at least one of the preferential parties from 1:45- 4:45, but only 77 chose to sign preference cards for bids. Sunday night, 72 women received bids. Two houses reached quota of 22; they were Alpha Delta Pi and Chi Omega. Kappa Delta had 11 women formally Pledge, and Phi Mu had 17 women. Any house that did not reach quota was free to issue open bids at any time. Activities Coordinator Cathy jeakly commented that about 10 per cent of the women who participated in rush (not including those who withdrew) were not issued bids. She felt that this was a substantial amount and only wished that something could be done to alleviate this problem. — Pam Prince TOP LEFT: Chi Omegas Alison Forsythe and Lynda Easterly take a break from rush workshop to test drive their new choo-choo.

 CHIEFS : Hadley and Heston What's that you say? A Star bigger than Robert Redford? Yes. Queens College has their very own celebrity in their midst. He is an English professor and has been making plays, poetry, and even simple words come alive to his students since he first came to Queens. That local boy who made good is none oth- er than Dr. Charles O. Hadley. During the summer of 1983, Dr. Hadley had the opportunity to coach such stars as Charl- ton Heston, Wayne Rogers, Keith Carradine, Billy Dee Williams, and Steven Collins in the art of speaking southern for the mini series Chiefs. Hollywood had maintained a file on Dr. Hadley through his work with Vivien Leigh on A Streetcar Named Desire over 30 years ago. The opportunity came while sitting in his office one day in May. Dr. Hadley received a call from Hollywood asking him if he would like the job. And so, Dr. Charles Hadley — Dialeti- cian (to the stars) was born! One might think that working with such ce- lebrities would cause a person to be quite ner- vous. Dr. Hadley was nervous — at first. He found, however, that once you begin work- ing, eating, and in a sense, living with these people, every day for a couple of months, one does not have the time for the jitters. The cast and Dr. Hadley became one big family! When asked his feelings about the whole affair, he said, Riches and fame have not made me the ecstatically happy person I hoped they would. For any of you who feel differently about being in such a position as he, and wonder how you can get that lucky break, Dr. Hadley suggests that you begin with his English 103 course (Voice and Diction), and ah, yes, - DON'T FORGET THE CHOCO- LATE!! — Mary Beth Kay ABOVE: Dr. Hadley waves from the maintenance mobile and is being followed by local Chiefs cast.
