1 ' iJlneJd Ar d a diumpen. Cnop . . . Cotton was moving pretty well this year, the rice crop prospered, and people were even buying a little insurance now and then, and when that happens this university business sees a bumper crop, too. The first days of September, after a few weeks of listless stagnation, the Hill and the town below it suddenly awakened. First signs of new life were more cars with lower license numbers heading through Shuler. Taxis began to whizz about the town piled high with suitcases and trunks. The bus station and depot hummed with new life. Then the pounding of hammers and the scrape of saws echoed over the valley from the fraternity houses — spare no expense for the rushees. Abruptly the joints and emporiums threw open their doors to a new rush of busi¬ ness. Girls gushed ecstatic greetings, the tables rang with joyous salutations to old friends. “YOU still here? ' ' “Glad to see you back. The nick¬ elodeons blared “Mr. Corn, and waitresses with flapping aprons had to shout their “Mayonnaise or Mustard? in order to be heard. That was the first week of September and the Greeks were a busy lot. After warm greet¬ ings were exchanged they prepared first their houses, then themselves. A larger flock of inno¬ cent lambs for the sorority slaughter than ever before packed into the Washington. The first days were hectic with bewildered rushes wait¬ ing for the sororities to make up their minds, then later the sororities waiting for the rushees to make up their minds. At the Pi Phi house the lambs learned that the Chi Omegas really didn ' t build the Greek theatre and besides it was made out of cheap material; and at the Chi Omega and Tri-Delt lodges they heard that those new beds and Beautyrest mattresses really didn ' t belong to the Pi Phis, they were just borrowed. P om somewhere over past the Sigma Chi house the rumor started that the Delta Gams were going to build a spiffy new house right next to the campus.

Men s rushing was equally heated. Over beer and pretzels rushees learned of past scandals, sorry financial conditions, exhorbitant assess¬ ments. They were pledged and moved in on the spot. Then, along with non-frat men who had 1 led the dorm and boarding houses in the mean- ime, they all flocked to sorority row on Saturday morning to see the sorority pledges arrive. There spotted the babes they would concentrate upon at the. open houses the next day. The stage was set, the first hectic days were ovei. Registration was next at hand and then the Fall business of going to school.
