RUSH The Social tribes’ pinks, greens, reds, and blues presented a spectrum of tastes for new female prospects as this year’s tribal rush ground on with its usual fervor. Actresses, musicians, and rush chairmen saw their hours and hours of planning and practicing come to reality during each tribe’s rush party— KT with their “Touch of Class”; ST with “Come With the Breeze” and “The Umpire Strikes Back”; NT with “Beyond the Rainbow”; and LT with “The Lucky Penny”. Rush offered a busy schedule for members and rushee s as well. During the hectic 6 weeks, each tribe courted the new girls with coke parties and favors in addition to those private conversations. Preference Day finally came and went and eager rushees scurried about trying to visit all the rooms of tribe members. Finally, rush was climaxed by the all-important Squeal Night. KT kicked off the rush parties with its presentation of “A Touch of Class” this year in Aven auditorium. After two days to recover from KT’s program, the rushees were introduced to Laguna Tribe through LT’s program en- titled “The Lucky Penny.” Despite many problems, Laguna, the place of belonging, was reached. Once again the dream place was found but this one had bears instead of mice with theirs “Beyond the Rainbow”. ST completed the four rush programs with the most unusual— the spoofs “Come With the Breeze” and “The Umpire Bites Back.” Galactic Discos, outhouses, and more were included in ST’s hilarious program which did receive a standing ovation. Rush came and went. Each pledge afterward wondering how to occupy all of the newfound time. Some realized that there was time for study- ing after all and others realized what classes they were in. All in all, though, Rush “80” proved to be nothing short of the usual fun and folly for everyone involved.
