Remember how quickly the summer passed last year . . the time from june to September rolled by as if the vacation were a week rather than three months , . The military boys perspired away six weeks in the wilds of Kentucky while the poor civil and forestry freshmen were surveying Indiana from top to bottom. . Others were working clur- ing the summer months, and those fortunate few who went to Europe or took long trips over the country were the envy of the rest . . No matter what you did, however, you'll have to admit that Labor Day approached in no un- certain terms . . All the fraternity men were due back September 7, and the independents had their usual laugh by re- turning a week later . . The Creeks spent all sum- mer looking up names of freshmen and then came back to clean up for them . . why couldn't s o m e o n e think up a system of pledg- ing and then cleaning the houses? . . Well, after a few days of cutthroat rush- ing during which time every house swore to the frosh that S,A.E. was a local and that the Phi Delts were col- lapsing nationally, the lead pipe was placed in storage for another year and inter- fraternity friendship was renewed . .. Meanwhile the coeds were by no means idle . . although official rush did not begin until later, the l'm so glad to know you look was exchanged be- tween frosh and sorority girls . . Then W.S.G.A. threw its lawn party . . the girls who attended can't very well forget the incon- siderate rain that gave them their first acquaintance with the inconsistency of indiana weather . . the party finally ended up in the grassless expanse of the Union Ballroom,
