PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL MEETS ISSUES NEW PLEDGE PLAN Delta Club Sends Booklet To Sigma Chi Headquarters Shows Campus Views The last meeting of the Pan Hellenic Council discussed plans for next years bidding system. They also issued blanks to each representative, to help in ascertaining the scholastic and extra curricular activities of the local chapters. Phi Epsilon Pi will entertain with a dance this Thursday evening at Ridgewood Club. A large number of bids have been extended, and it is expected to be one of the best of the frat dances of the season. The Delta Club (petitioning Sigma Chi) has just sent out its prospectus to the fraternity. The booklet in cluded views of practically the entire campus, and gave a general outline of the fraternity situation both here and throughout the state. An interesting cut in the pamphlet was one of the old South Carolina College as it was in 1850. Carolina is fortunate to have in use, to a great extent, the off season sys tem of pledging. Not only does it show that the relationship between the frat and non-frat men is harmoni ous, but also that the great quantity of available material always left over o,n every uncrowded campus after bid day is being recognized.

Freshman: "Correct." -Citadel Bulldog. The temperance lecturer was wax ing eloquent over the evils of strong drink. "If I were to lead a donkey up to a pail of water and a pail of beer, which would he drink?" he bellowed. "The water," grunted a souse in the front row. "Certainly," smiled the speaker, "and why?' "Because he's an ass, replied the souse. "Laugh this one off," said the fat man's wife as she sewed on a button with wire. Salesman: How would you like a Woman's Home Companion?

"Brevity, a refer ence to religion, some association with royalty, and an illustration of modesty. Now with these four things in mind, I will give you 30 minutes to write a story."
