JANUARY 9, MM
Current Rush Rules
Second Semester Rush will em-
ploy the same rules this year
as last with only minor changes.
All independent women students
not on probation may participate.
Rusheeg should note the com-
pulsory explanatory meeting to
be held Monday, February 8, at
7:00 in Jones College. Non at-
tendence will result in the loss
of a bid guarantee. Of equal im-
portance to the rushee is the
necessity of R.S.V.P.'s. An in-
vitation must not be ignored.
Each literary society will give
two parties. One, a conventional
rush party will be followed by
the open house Sunday, Feb. 29,
leaving a brief vestige of a past
lengthy "free-for-all" rush sys-
tem.
Silence
A period of silence lasting
from 5:00 o'clock pm on Sunday,
February 29, until 10:00 o'clock
pm on Tuesday, March 1, is the
last milestone for the anxious
rushees. During this period they
are honor bound not to speak
to lit members. If silence is bro-
ken severe penalty to both parties
will result.
By refusing a bid, the rushee
loses her guarantee of a bid the
following year. She may with-
draw from rush without suffer-
ing similar consequences. Rushees
must arrive and leave the rush
parties at the time specified on
the invitation*.
Dirty Rush
No indication of desire to join
a certain society is allowed. No
society may by token or state-
ment indicate a wish to pledge
a rushee until final bids are
posted. This would be called
dirty!
The Literary Societies must
obey strict rules set up by the
Committee on Literary Societies.
They are prohibited from treat-
ing rushees in any way or
arranging dates for them. Dis-
cussion of matters concerning the
society is forbidden.

Robin The Hood
"What are you doing in my
turf, Hood?" the King snarled,
flicking ashes off his black leath-
er jacket.
"Just a social call," Robin the
hood smiled thinly, "unless it
was you who put the heist on
ing his umbrella. The King made
a lightning move for his shoulder
crossbow pro, but Robin beat
him to the draw. "Suppose you
bring my transcript out," he said
softly.
"Sure, Hood, sure—it was only
my transcript." He pulled hi a little jo

eye and eased his cape back off
his shoulders.
The King licked his fat lips.
"Now I ain't seen that crummy
transcript of yours, Hood, and
I think you had better leave be-
fore my boys mop you'up."
Fire Truck grabbed a fire
hydrant, crumbled it with one
hand and said, "You Lovett Street
guys talk mighty tough. You
want I should lean on him a
little, Boss?"
"Not yet," Robin the Hood
said, talking out of the corner
of his mouth, "But we've had
trouble over this transcript be-
fore and if he's got it there'll
be a rumble."
Hook 'Em
So saying, he put his hunting
horn to his lips and blew a few
bars of "Roll Me Over in the
Clover." From so.mewhere in the
castle came a weak voice crying
"Hook 'em Horns."
"I get heem now, eh, Boss?"
Little Juan hissed while unhook-

"There just won't be any more
little jokes like that," Robin
whispered. And so saying he
motioned to Fire Truck and Little
Juan.
No Sweat
The King pleaded, "No, Hood,
no — I really didn't meant it.
Please, I'll buy castle protection,
anything. The Sherwood Street
Gang was touched by his little
speech, and Robin, remembering
his Mother's words said, "Don't
sweat it, for the meak shall in-
herit the radioactive ashes." Up-
on which Fire Truck and Little
Juan quickly sent the King to his
reward.
Then they put the transcript
in the back, seat of the black
limousine and prepared to leave.
Only Robin looked back. "When
Richard the Cat gets back we'll
really do thing right." And with
that the Sherwood Street Gang
rode off toward AustirfJ'
