Have you ever smiled so much that you thought your mouth would crack? If you ever went through the game of rush, then it is most certain that you have. Some of the smiles are fake, some legitimate. Nevertheless, the fall term began a week early for tliose brave students participating in Greek rush. Ten sororities and eight fraternities participated in rushing coUegiates for their respective chapters. Usual questions were, ' ' What ' s your major, what ' s your classification, where are you from, and what did you do this summer? Hands were pumped, songs were sung, skits acted, punch drunk. Certs were chewed, days were long and nights longer, and it ended before an exodus to the infirmary was needed from worry and lack of sleep. After sorority bids were received, late as usual, the girls ran through the mass of boys that always wait to see what sororities the girls pledged. There was more singing, more handshaking, more hugging and, naturally, more food for the now pledges. When fraternity boys picked up bids on Sunday, it was all over. Most felt that tliey had completed at least one year of school. Some had heartbreaks, but most lived through the experience with happy thoughts, decked with ribbons or pins. The total count of the group pledged was 424. Delta Gammas enact My Fair Lady, for rushees. Rushees form a moving mass as they move from party to party. ;, . ' fi uEKktf ' fiit - - 20

Gayla Tyson, senior, fills out one of the numerous fonns before registering for the last time. Registration in the round (or shall it be called registration in the merry-go-round?) was September 14-16. Whatever it is called, it was three merry days of going round and round and round trying to get into classes. New students strolled bravely into Daniel-Meyer Coliseum and followed the old pros as they tramjjed the cement circle past the class sections. The silent watcher would see a student advance, retreat to fill out an incomplete form, advance, re- treat to get a Dean ' s signature, advance, retreat to make a change in a schedule, and advance muttering to himself, I ' ll know better next year. After signing up for everj ing, and trying to steer away from the infamous 8 o ' clocks , the stu- dent stands in his last (and worst) line of the day . . . the cashier line. The student finds out the ride on the merry-go-round was pretty expensive. The now-weary student tramps onward to register his car, buy Select Series tickets, get his card stamped by the library, get his Little Theater ticket, and be loaded down with questionnaires, pamphlets and in- structions on how to get vour books, before heading for Building 2 to pick up his Horned Frog. .Sluili-nts travel in tiic rcjuiKi to .sign up fur classes.
