Talks Here Today
Pledge Shortage Perils Row Affair
Rumors have been circulating that there will be no sor-ity Presents this semester.
Joyce Wilson, president of Panhellenic, said yesterday, wever, that “Panhellenic hasn’t met yet to decide if there ill be a Presents this semester. We will hold a meeting
------ sometime this week.’’
The reason for the rumors is that so few women went through rush this semester. Sixty-five women started rushing, but 20 dropped out because of low grades. When Delta Gamma stopped rushing entirely, 16 sororities were left rushing only 45 women. If distribution of pledges | were equal, each sorority could take no more than 2.8 pledges. And. as one sorority woman, j who wishes to remain unidentified.
, put it, “It takes more than one to form a presents line.”
Informal open houses, present-| ing the sorority’s new pledges, have been suggested to replace form a Presents line.”
Rumors have also been circulating that pledge “ditches" might also be abolished this semester because of small pledge classes. Mrs. Edwarda W. White, counselor of women, has asked that there be no «nore overnight ditches. Previously. sorority pledges have held weekend ditches.
Rushees picked up their bids Saturday morning, and pledging was Saturday afternoon at 3:30.
aught in Red, ables Turned n Policemen
Revenge is sweet even though be purely hypothetical.
At least that would seem to the case of an anonymous school student.
Friday afternoon, on observing Los Angeles Police department uad car parked in a plainly rked red zone in front of the School. Mr. Anonymous half sheet of yellow scrap and issued the following icket to the offending officer:
"Ticket-Civilian citation for isdemeanor observed by me.”
He then placed the ticket under he windshield wiper of the quad car and walked off—happy n a good deed well done.

Siberia during the ’30s.
Scott's experiences in Russia began in 1932 soon after finishing an intensive study at General Electric’s training school at Schenectady, N.Y., where he earned a metal worker’s certificate. Earlier he had attended schools in both the U.S. and Switzerland. Scott received his bachelor s degree at George School in Pennsylvania, and later did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin.
Learned Russian
Upon arrival in Russia his first step was to learn the language, after which he entered the heavy industries of Siberia. Five years later during the great purge of 1937, Scott was dismissed from his position along with all other foreigners in Russian industry.
Instead of leaving Russia like most other Americans and the Europeans, he took a job in Moscow as correspondent for Havas, a French news agency, and later for the London iNews Chronicle. In this capacity Scott rapidly became a well known foreign correspondent.
Arouses 'Comment
At the end of his three-year stay in Moscow he embarked in 1940 on a two-year tour of the Balkans, Middle East, and Asiatic Russia, writing reports for his agency that aroused comment in many countries. Only two weeks before the Geimans invaded Russia, Scott was describing the growing animosity between the two countries. For this he was expelled from Russia, charged with slander and "inventing” his reports of Soviet-German friction.
He then went to Japan where he soon joined the staff of Time.
Arrested by Russians
Hii most recent contact with the Russians was in Warsaw while covering the Polish referendum in 1946. Because of his fluency with the Russian language, the Russian secret police arrested him, suspecting him of being a deserter from the Russian army. He was held for five hours lor questioning before being released on pressure from the American ambassador.
Preceding his Founders Hall speech Scott will speak to the history of journalism class, in 422 Student Union, on “Modern Dynamic Journalism.”
Scott, 39, is a family man, having a wife and two children living in Ridgefield, Conn.
