This one week set aside at the beginning of every college year is devoted to the replenishing of pledges in our fraternities. There are many laughs and many heart aches crammed into this week of hectic hand- shaking, smoking, and coke drinking, but it more often than not is a good one and one to remember. The week is well named rush week as it is a trying one to both the fraternity members and the members-to-be.There is so much to do and so many people to meet and so little time to do it in. The freshman feels that he is both an honored guest and a mutation on a pedestal to be looked at by the upper classman. The person on whom the week is the hard- est is the rush chairman of the individual houses,and it is to these worn out and hard working souls that we take great pride in dedi- cating the first yearbook section on rush week. Now what about this guy from Tulsa? 10-
