Parents are known as a very valuable asset when it comes to moving a yeafs worth of belongings .into a dorm room. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor from Madison help their daughter, Kelly, a junior in public administration, push her cart up the hill to Morrill. Elevators are at a premium when a seemingly un- limited number of students try to move in at the same time. Maneuvering luggage carts into an Andy Holt elevator becomes a major undertaking as students fight crowds, closing elevator doors and other carts. hhThe biggest hassle was flying over here from South America and then getting the cart. Trying to arrange everything in the room - unpacking - is above all the biggest hassle. - Juan Rodriguez, junior, Mom'll The biggest problem has been getting a good cart. Ours only has three wheels. ,h - John Adams, sophomore, North Cam'ck dlfs been good this year so far, but I just hate it.

Brothers of Sigma Nu and rushees take a breather 3n the back patio when things inside the house became :00 loud or too crowded. After six nights of open house 'ush, Sigma Nu pledged 34- men. GREEK: Pi Kappa Alpha brothers Carl Lyle and Tim Shriver take time out from rush to put their own rush on Suzanna Timberlake, a Pike little sister and former Miss Tennessee. Little sisters play an important part in rush. A Rushed Decision September in the Greek world at UT meant getting together with old friends and meeting new ones. Sorority rush was a mutually selective process. The sororities, abiding by the for- mal guidelines set by the Panhellenic Coun- cil, held several rounds of parties to give the rushees a glimpse of what each sorority had to offer. Sororities chose which rushees they wanted to ask back, while rushees chose which sororities they wanted to return to. Then with the help of a computer, invita- tions and requests were matched. The atmosphere of fraternity rush was much less formal. Rushees chose the frater- nity houses they wanted to visit and fre- quented them as often as they wished. Bids were extended throughout the week. The Vandells and Times Square provided music as Greeks and non-Greeks strolled, hustled and shagged their way into a new quarter at the 4th annual IFC-Panhellenic street dance on Sunday, Sept. 17. There are a lot less formalities in fraternity rush. The main criteria for choosing new members is to pledge guys who will continue to improve the chapter. - Dick Fletcher, senior, Phi Delta Theta itRushees dontt realize how much preparation the sororities put into rush. Planning starts in the early summer to put together the parties and skits. ,i - Kim Johnson, junior, Phi Mu Greek Rush Sept. 15-24, 1978 t29
