Lays Plans
For Rushing
Beth Fillingim, Pan-Hellenic
president, announced today that
sorority rush week will begin on
Sunday, March 13, and iun through
Friday. March 25. Registration
of rushees will be on Wednesday,
March 9, and Mrs. Childs will meet
with them to discuss sororities on
Friday, March 11.
I'an-fthele council will be host
to rushees at a tea March 13, be
pinnivitr rush week. A unhatfsto
for preliminary teas was discussed
by the council but it has not been
Iefinitely decided upon. Under
this method there would be one big
party similar to a progressive sup
per. Each course of a meal would
I,e served in tne separaie sorority
rooms and rushees would pass
from room to room. This if it
passes the council would displace
the old method of dividing rushees
into groups which are designated a
definite time to go to each sorority
room for tea.
Rules, as tentatively planned,
will not be as strict as usual on
rushecs, concerning social inter
course wit. sorority girls. They
may talk together but rushees are
not to be allowed to visit sorority
rooms or to spend the night with
a sorority girl.
Arrangements for sending and
receiving bids wvill be printed in
a later edition of The Gamecock.

News Reporters
Say Slouchiness
Suggests Defects
East Lansing, Mich.-(ACP)
Reporters of the "Michigan State
News" took a posture survey of
co-eds on a Sunday afternoon in
the Union Grill. They report a
pronounced slouch on 60% of the
co-eds and observeo
"A slouch not only makes a
woman look sloppy, it affects her
personality and her physical wel
fare. It's a shame that so many
of the so-called 'cream of Ameri
can ' womanhood' should carry
themselves as if they were fright
ened."
The article goes on to quote
from "State Board Questions and
Answers for Nurses":
"Question: What effect does
poor posture have on one's mental
attitude ?
"Answer: Poor posture comes to
be associated with the grumbling,
dissatisfied and unhappy individ
ual. Any effect on the physical
weil-being will sooner or later be
reflected in the mental outlook.
Good posture suggests good breed
ing. alertness of mind fearless
ness, and an attractive person
ality, although people may possess
more character and desirable per
sonality traits thn b-aring -di
cates."
In November, 1934, a poll of the
student body was taken, and the
average aite of the s.udeit body
was found to be 20.6. Freshman
men averaged 18.5 years, while
freshman girls were a little older
-18.6. Thirty-seven per cent of the
student body was found to be 21 or
over.

of psychology and philosophy
has had a life replete with
dian territory, and sometimes
)utside with a rifle to protect
ho often cut the wires to get
grazing land for their cattle. Dr.
Lafferty says he knows only
enough of the Cherokee language
now to ask for for tobacco.
He entered the army when only
15, during World War I, but two
years later he was a sergeant
major, in charge of headquarters
for the defense of Manila bay and
Subic bay in the Philippines.
He finished high school and col
lege within three and a half years
after his return. Dr. Lafferty
now says of his degrees, "I did
everything in life because I was a
failure. I couldn't get a job so I
went to college. I still couldn't
get a job, so I went to graduate
school, and finally ended up with
the d'egree of doctor of phil
osophy."
Dr. Lafferty said that he drifted
into philosophy after beginning in
theology at. the University of Ok
lahoma and pursuing some study
in psychology. He received his
Ph.D. from the University of
Chicago. Aftei wards he studied
for six months at the Sorbonne in
Paris.
On his return from France he
became a professor in the graduate
school of Lehigh university in
Bethlehem, Pa. He taught educa
tion and psychology and opened a
clinic, in connection with the
graduate school, for the study of
education of "problem children."

ester in working with the human
mind, but he enjoys puttering
around the house, doing such small
jobs as putting the furnace to
