The tea marks the beginning of the exciting two-week '4Rush Seasonfl At this time each sorority gives two parties, inviting the girls whom they think they would welcome into their sorority. After all the parties are over, the rushees make their choice and likewise so do the sorori- ties. Then there is the period of suspense when the bids are being prepared. Finally the joyous day arrives. Bids are placed in mail boxes by the Dean and quickly torn open by the waiting, hopeful, prospective rushees to see if the sorority of their choice has also selected them.

SIG TALS WIN 4'TLfltKlCY BOWL GAME Every year around Thanksgiving time, sounds of t'First-lilowni' and lncomplete pass are heard outside on the Harris athletic field. These noises are made by the members ol Lambda Beta Lambda and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternities warming up for their annual 'Turkey Bowl game. This yearly encounter, one of the highlights of the Fall Semester at Harris. has become a tradition. The two fraternities vie i11 this yearly encounter not only for fra- ternity honor but for the possession of a bass drum bearing the fraterni- ties' respeetive emblems on either side. The 1958 Turkey Bowl was the most one-sided game in the ten year series between Lambda and Sig Tau. Sig Tau built up an early lead and coasted to a 37-T victory over the spirited but out-manned Lambda squad. An interesting sidelight of the game was the loud music pro- duced by the Lambda Marching Band. It is certain that the Turkey Bowl game will continue to be a yearly event at Harris between Lamh- da Beta Lambda and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternities for honor, pres- tige and that 'lgood ol' bass drum. Crowd gathers at Turkey Howl Came. Hold that lineln Lambda t'hand arouses school spirit. Thirteen
