Further plans for the installation of this chapter will be an nounced in the near future, it is stated by Miss Elizabeth Jones, president of the Beta Zeta club. Delta Delta Delta is one of the largest and most prominent of the women's national fraternities. It was founded on Thanksgiving eve in 1838 at Boston Uni versity. This year the fraternity will celebrate its fortieth year of continuous existence as a secret Greek letter organi zation. Since 1888 Tri Delta has ex tended its affiliations to include 72 chap ters in institutions ranging from Oregon to Florida and from Maine to California. It was one of the earliest first-rank women's fraternities to install chapters in southern educational institutions, and it has been widely and favorably known in this section through its chapters at Randolph-Macon, Hellins, University of Alabama, Florida State College, lirenau, Vanderbilt, and the University of Ten nessee. Beta Zeta was organized in the spring of 1927 for the purpose of petitioning Delta Delta Delta. This fraternity has a very conservative policy in the matter of expansion so the local group considers itself fortunate and hn,ored in heing granted a charter so soon after petition ing. The Carolina girls who constitute the Beta Zeta membership hold enviable places in the intellectual and social life of the University. The group, one of the leadi-ng ~rganization on the campus, takes a prominent part in student acti vities. The Beta Zeta members include: O(flicers: President. NI iss Elizabeth C.

CO-ED FOLLIES MAKE BIG HIT THIS SUMMER Tour Began in Coumbia With En gagement at The Imperial I heatre CAST HAS 13 MEMBERS May Renew Trip Next Season Plans Not Yet An nounced Beginning August 6 and con:tinuing for two highly successful weeks, twelve charming Carolina Co-eds under the able management of Miss Harriet Scar borough, toured Not:th and South Caro lina this summer, playing at leading moving picture houses with a series of 13 "presentation acts" lasting from 35 to 40 minutes. before the feature picture. The tour began in Columbia with a three (lays engagement at the Imperial theatre. 'Tihis was such an unqualified success that an offer was made the "Co F,d Follies" to play at a number of other Pttblix Theatres. Accordingly, chape roned by Mrs. W. R. Scarborough, these talented young women began their trip. 'Tiey traveled in a special bus which had been chartered for the two weeks and carried with them more than $300 worth of new costumes, designed by themselves and made tinder ther own supervision. They went first to Charlotte where they played a three day engagement at the Carolina Theater. I,eavintg there they appeared at the Rex in Spartanburg, the Auditorium in Winston-Salem, and the Strand in Salisburg. The acts included the opening chorts, "Stay Out of the South;" a "Sister Act ;" the "Gas House," a favorite with Columbia audiences; the Lindingherg Chorus; and the Good Night Chorus. A Siamese Dagger Dance by Miss Carrie Dupre was a notable success. In \Vinston-Salet the co-eds were given an unexpected welcome when they were tendered a banquet by the ('arolina Alumnae Association there. The .\s. .oociatiot expressed i;self as very proiud f he sli 'wing Carolita was making in their city, bringintg favorable advertising of an entirely new kind into orlt sister state. The AImniae attended the slow in a bdy in ill acknowledgement of this the girls included ('arolina's Alma .\later in their progratti. A cast (f' 13 members might have alarmed some, but these yotig women went ahead regardless of superstition and the populariv of their vetntue is at tested by the many offers they have re (eived urging them to repeat their tour. They have been asked to play at Win ston-Salem and five other theatres under the sanme managemen' again at Christ mas with the same acts. Thycv also have ofTers to go oni a month's tour nex' summner. They are not sure of their intentions as ye'. bet all agree that the novelty of the trip and the welcome according them wherever they wenit made it an exper ience whlich they' cani not soon11 forget.
