KU Women Prepare For Sorority Rush
By Margaret Hughes
The season of name tags, frozen smiles, and IBM cards will soon be here, as Panhellenic Spring Rush approaches.
Scarely pausing to recover from semester finals, several hundred KU women will return January 28 as sorority members and rushes.
The number of rushees is impossible to determine now, Mrs. J. B. Stroup, assistant dean of women, said. Rush registration was held in October. Since then there have been a number of cancellations. Some women will be ineligible for rush because of their first-semester grade average, which must be 1.0 or higher.
DURING OPEN houses and a series of invitational parties, rushees and members of the 12 participating sororities will get acquainted. On Feb. 2, rushees will sign preference cards, which will then be matched with sorority preferences. Formal pledging will be Feb. 5.
Upperclass women going through rush will stay on the seventh floor of Lewis Hall. Freshman women will remain in the freshman halls.

Eastern Civilization Open to All Students
Freshmen and sophomores will, for the first time, be able to take course 95 in the East Asia studies program during the spring semester.
Robert A. Burton, lecturer in East Asian Studies said the course, known popularly as "Eastern Civilization," is taught in small discussion sections. Beginning next semester, the sections will consist of students of equal academic background grouped together. In other words, some sections will have only freshmen, others only sophomores, others juniors, and others seniors.
Burton said that about 30 stu- students participated in the discuss ion groups last semester, the first time the course was offered to the student body; and with the course being opened to freshmen and sophomores, he anticipates a larger enrollment this spring.
Kiddie Movies Are Out
VIENNA—(UPI) — New Vienna city law now forbade all children under six years of age from seeing any movie on the grounds that all movies are harmful for children.
Student Views-
(Continued from page 1)
ROBERT HOLDSWORTH, BOZEMAN, Mont., graduate student, said he agreed that the report was probably correct. He smokes "almost a pack a day. But there are a lot of enjoyable things that are dangerous," he said. "I don't intend to cut down on smoking anymore than I plan to quit driving. You can't be too afraid. You should live your life doing things that you enjoy."
Margo Hoagland, Los Angeles, Calif., junior, said that she smoked a pack and a half a day before the report was released. "I'm progressively cutting down and hope to stop by mid-February. I firmly believe that it's bad," she said.
MRS. KAREN THOMPSON, Lawrence sophomore, said she felt the report was based on "mostly theory." She smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. "There's nothing sure enough to discourage me," she said.
Lynn Thompson, Lawrence sophomore and Karen's husband, said that he smokes 4 to 5 cigarettes a day. "I usually smoke a pipe, but when she (Karen) is around I borrow cigarettes from her. I'd stop smoking cigarettes if I could get her to quit, but then she couldn't smoke a pipe."
Jose Ocampo, Philippines graduate student, said that he started smoking a few months ago. "I will read some more and see what's relevant. I will quit if what I read points that I should."
Prakash Najori, Aurangabad, India, freshman, said that although he does not smoke, he can understand the smoker's plight. "Practically everybody here smokes," he said. "Even in some classes they allow it. It's a hard habit to get out of and being in the company of other smokers only makes it harder," he said.
