Women Veto Rush Week
At a Panhellenie meeting Tuesday, it was decided to dispense
with the special rush weekend usually held spring term, as was
also decided by the inter-fraternity council earlier.
\ccording to Margaret Ann Jackson, Panhellenie president,
houses wilTdo their own individual rushing. They may invite pros
pects down for the weekend, or make other plans for their en
tertainment.
Previously, all houses held a joint rush weekend or rush week
every spring term, but due to the war situation, it has been dis
continued. Kushees were usually invited down on weekends such
as Junior Weekend.
Action taken by the inter-fraternity council this week also
dispensed with their usual spring rush-week. As in Panhellenie,
however, they will invite prospects down for rushing by indi
vidual houses. _^„

Democratic orocesses will be used in the selection of the
Junior Weekend Queen who is to be nominated next week,
Bud Vandeneynde, chairman of the queen’s reign committee,
announced Wednesday.
All women's living organizations should nominate and"
turn in their choices by next Thursday noon, April 19, t»>
Vandeneynde.
The Junior Weekend committee, according to Vandeneynde,
is wonting on plans to present
to the campus at large a politi
cally clean selection method to
obtain a queen to rule the annual
junior celebration. It will be im
possible for any political group
to circumvent this plan, he de
clared.
This step is being taken. Pat
Cloud, president of the junior
class, stated, because, although
the Weekend is sponsored by the
junior class, the committee be
lieves that the queen selection
should be made from an all-cam
pus view.
Requirements for queen are:
completion of 93 term hours, a
cumulative GPA of two point,
and a GPA last term of two
point.
The queen will be chosen for
beauty, queenliness, and campus
popularity, Vandeneynde said.
He emphasized that organiza
tions should investigate the can
didates’ scholastic standing be
fore submitting nominations.
Famed Italian Singer
Likes American Girls
'Met' Star Presents
Tailor's Problem
By MARJORIE MAJOR
The golden-voiced Italian, Nino
Martini, believes that American
girls are “superb dancers, ambi
tious, and pretty”—but he won't
commit himself on the question
of how they compare with Eu
ropean girls.
“If I had my choice of answer
ing that question or facing a fir
ing squad, I believe I would get
myself a bullet-proof vest and
take my chances,” he says.
“The European girl is rather
more sophisticated, and is in
cidentally a better cook because
she stays home more,” he con
tends. Further than that, it would
take the wisdom of Solomon and
the wit of Alexander to make a
judgment and Martini declines to
stick his neck out.
Best-Dressed Star
Students will have a chance to
judge on his title of best-dressed
opera star -when he sings in con
cert here Tuesday, April 7, as the
third artist on the Greater Artist
series.
A problem in tailoring arises
as a result of Martini's tremen
dous chest expansion. A tenor
who can sing F above high C
in full voice requires plenty of
chest development, and Martini,
the only tenor who can hit that
