Bid Day Was Big Day For 59 UK Coeds

By VICKI SHULMAN
Wednesday was bid day for 59 coeds
who pledged 12 sororities.
For the past two weeks all sororities
having membership openings have participated in a less structured rush than fall
semester s formal rush.
There was no specific time set aside
for parties and Panhellenic allowed each
sorority three personal contacts with each
coed rushing.
The coeds have various reasons for wanting to become a part of the Creek system.

Most have heard close friendships are formed.
Others realize that many campus lcadcrsship
positions are held by sorority and fraternity
members. Membership in honoraries often
depends on membership in other organizationsespecially Greek ones. These coeds
want to become a part of a group where
they know that there arc people who care
about them with a personal interest and
they feel this is what Creeks life provides.
Some coeds go out for rush only to meet
people. This is especially true of
and transfer students. Others go through
out-of-sta- te

rush because their friends do or their parents
think it is "the thing to do.
Of course many girls have found drawbacks in the Greek life. They think that too
much time is required for active participation, especially during pledge days. Others
av that sororities impose too many restrictions in dress, behav ior and activ ities the
"sorority snobs."
The petty discriminations and inconsiderate attitudes that exist in the houses annoy
many. Some say outright that the "sisterhood bit isn't all it's cracked up to be."

The absence of a loyal opposition and the feeling among high

for the current disorders in Communist China.

Creek Week and the Heart Fund

Council meeting
Tuesday night.
Hobby Spaulding, vice president, who presided, called for
a representative of each fraternity
for the Feb. 26 Heart Fund drive.
The IFC representatives were
also asked to announce the Theta

chapter meetings.
The proceeds of the jam
session, which is to be held at
the Student Center Friday from
2 until 5

the drive. The Mag 7 is featured.
One of the features of Greek
Week this year, Feb 12 to 19,
is to be an all Greek Art Exhibit. All art majors and interested participants are asked to
display their works.
The rules for bid day, Sunday, were also reviewed with
the representatives, and all boys
who have gone out for rush were
asked to come to Memorial Hall
from noon to 3 p.m.
Each fraternity was also asked
to select one or more girls to
represent them in the Miss Lexington Pageant, and to turn the
names into the IFC.
Future rush procedures were
also discussed, and one member
suggested the use of pictures
to help identify the Rushees, a
method similar to the one used
by the sororities.
Arguments were brought up
against this method, and a decision was postponed.

Larson knows students are tired
of the tedious task of filling out
four different cards which require
essentially the same information.
So he has arranged for use of a
new device in UK's computing
center that will eliminate the chore.
In the future, students need only
provide "vital statistics" once. The
Machine will see that all offices
needing information about students
get copies.

Letter To The Editor

Civil Rights Not Communistic
To the Editor of the Kernel:
To the Savage from Austin Peay,
suggest that first he study his
music a little more thoroughly and
second learn not to make assumptions without some evidence.

First, the song We Shall Overcome is not Communistic. It is a
Civil Bights song, but I suppose
everything related to Civil Bights
is Communistic in the eyes of a
few people. He might have suggested Little Houses of Tickey

Tackey, or even better, Where Have
All the Dixiecrats Gone?
Second, he assumes that Yankees united with Communists are
trying to eradicate Dixie from UK.
Anyone would think that unscrupulous northerners and Yankees had
suddenly converged en masse upon
him and stripped him of all his
valuables. With such "rational,"
"succinct" thinkers as him, we do
not need the Communists.
