PLEASANT SI UNIVERS1 It is quite delightful to hear that 10 per cent of the Carolina students hav had entirely enjoyable summer vacations That a body of seventeen hundred stu dents should unanimously agree upon an; subject, no matter how unimportant, is to say the least, startling. That this i true, however, one can seef for himsel 'by simply walking across the campus am taking note of snatches of conversatior "How d'y'do, B^ll Gee, it's good t see you again! Did Vou have a fine sum mer?" "Why, George, old man! I sure di have one big time. And you were dowi at Myrtle Beach, huh? Bet you ran awa with the place. Say, I was down ther Olio week-end last month myself." "You were? Where'd you stay?Lool there's John and Harry?Hi there, fel lows, how'd you enjoy your summer?" "'Lo Bill, 'Lo George, hice vacation You bet 1 So was mine." -. , ... ?SORORITIES BUSY GIVING PARTIES MANY RECEPTIONS HELD h\ iv \ N A11 Chapters on Campus Hav Entertained Freshman Co-eds During Week "Rush Week" has been particularl; hectic this year, with the regular tea and other functions, not to mention tin heavy dates which have been made a all hocrs of days.

Fo ^ During the latter part of the summer "Charley" played his original composi- wa t tion, "My Love Song," before a Dr. an< j Parker of Rchmond. Dr. Parker was so ' impressed with the music that he imme- fill diately saw the author and promised to Co a have it sent to Rudy Vallee for consider- wa ation. A reply is expected from Rudy in cla1 the near future. ? J 3 "My Love Song" was one of several ,f original songs written for the Palmetto jPlayers' production, "The Frolic of 1930." ^ _ It was a big hit at the time and received f tremendous applause. toj t u- s- c- dr: f CHI OMEGA TEA 1 GIVEN TUESDAY ? fr< Japanese Decoration Feature of, r Unique Tea At Home of _ e Margaret Lafaye vi b The Chi Omega sorority entertained _ Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 to 5:30 e with a Japanese tea at the home of Mars garet Lafaye, an alumna of the chapter n here' j.

J c J H 1 1 =f= I f MOREOFIT Collecting over $60,000 from a rushing, pushing, and hurrying ? jam of students, and not making a mistake of even fifty cents is nothing short of remarkable. This was what happened last .week when the University Treasurer, Mr. F. P. Wellbourne, and his assistants collected fees frera around fifteen hundred students at registration, and when a checkup was made it was found that the cash balanced with the registration receipts with a difference less than fifty cents. Especially was this remarkable because of the unusual rush and jam that was present in the chapel where i the fees were collected. Just another sign that is indicative of the efficiency of the University's young, but capable Treasurer. i : SINGERS EXPECT GREAT SEASON Sixty Candidates Try Out.
