Pan-hellenic Hears Arkansas Dean Of Women
Sophomore pledging can, if well planned, strengthen rather than do away with or minimize sororities. Miss Jeanneette Scudder, dean of women at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, said at the Panhellenic Workshop Oct. 14.
Miss Scudder outlined the deferred rushing and freshman dormitory systems now in their third year of use at the University of Arkansas and discussed the success of the plans as evaluated by the university Pan-hellenic. She was assisted in her explanation by Fay Marie Stafford, president of the Pan-hellenic, and Martha Williams, junior counsellor in the freshman dormitory at the University of Arkansas.
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women at the University, led a panel discussion concerning the freshman dormitory which will go into effect next fall with the deferred rushing. Assisting her on the panel were Marie Schumacher, president of A.W.; Helen Maduros, president of Y.W.C.A.; Carolyn Weigand, vice-president of Mortar board; and Gertha Harper, former president of Junior Inter-dorm. They considered the various problems to be met and asked for suggestions from the sorority and independent women present.
Problems of sorority life were also discussed in four specialized sessions. Miss Helen Moore, dean of women at Kansas State college, led the session on scholarship. Mrs. Jean Thompson, Sigma Kappa alumna from Lawrence, led discussion on alumnae-active relations. The discussion of chapter relations between sororites and other organizations was under the leadership of Mrs. Gertrude Marthens, Delta Gamma, province president. Mrs. Justin Miller, national treasurer for Alpha Omicron Pi, supervised the session on house management and finances.
'Crisis' Series Hears Realey
Delegations from Kansas State college and Washburn university, Topeka, were present at the workshop, as well as the University of Arkansas representatives and both independents and sorority members from K.U.

He has traveled extensively in Europe, especially in 1931-32, and has devoted many summers to traveling in Europe, both in Britain and on the continent.

KU Graduate Gets New Job
- An eighth division—the veteran U.S. 24th Infantry—joined the forces that have captured one-fifth of Communist Korea and driven within 38 miles of the Red capital.
Other American, South Korean, British and Australian units were thrusting forward to close on Pong-yang from the south and west in a massive "nutracker" attack.
The 24th, first American division to arrive in Korea, moved toward the Communist border northwest of Seoul, at the extreme western end of the front. Its first objective was the key port of Haeju, 63 miles south of Pyongyang.
Further east, the U.S. 1st cavalry division smashed through Namchonjon, some 55 miles south-southeast of the Red capital. Ten miles of difficult hill country still stood in the way of the cavalry troops' advance. From there on, the road to Pyongyang was relatively open.
The South Korean 1st division was battling Red rearguards on the outskirts of Suan. 38 miles southeast of the Communist capital.
The South Korean 6th and 8th divisions were thrusting toward Pyongyang from the west and southwest, while the South Korean 3rd division pushed north from liberated Wonsan along the east coast toward the vital factories in the Hamhung-Hungnam area.
Part of the South Korean capitol division was advancing west from Wonsan toward Pyongyang, while other capitol units were moving north with the 3rd division.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur still was holding four U.S. divisions in reserve—the 1st Marine, 2nd, 7th and 25th Infantry—possibly in preparation for an amphibious attack to deliver the final knockout blow to the tottering Communists.
