^ -?'?. LL CARNIVAL GIVEN BY ALPHA KAPPA GAMMA SORORITY The country carnival sponsored by Alpha Kappa Gamma, the woman's honorary leadership sorority, in the gym on Friday night proved to be one of the most unusual and highly delightful social affairs on the University calendar of social events. The gym was decorated in the country style?hay stacks, corn shucking and scarecrows are typical examples. Ranged along the sides of the walls were tables and booths at which were sold anything from apple cider down to ice cream and chewing gum. These booths were managed by the local sorities. The evening's entertainment consisted of a number of delightful dancing and singing numbers by the Misses Lucy Coleman, Elise Cross, Harriet Scarborough, "Bully" Quattlebaum,. Julia Quattlebaum and others. At the piano, Roy Chamberlain rendered several delightful piano solos. During the intervals in the program dancing was enjoyed by those people wishing to dance. Bill Spivey's orchestra played. u. s. c. I CHRISTMAS PARTY AT WOMAN'S DORM ENTERTAINING PROGRAM Chaperones at Woman's Building Entertain Co-eds Before Christmas In the midst of the snow season, the lobby of the Woman's Building was the scene of a gala festival. Miss Irene Dillard, dean of women, and the chaperones of the dormitories, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Marion, Mrs. Barrantine and Miss White, entertained the Carolina co-eds with a farewell Christmas party on Wednesday night, December 17. The room was beautifully decorated in gay holiday colors. In the far corner stood a tall, brightly lighted Christmas tree, loaded with silver balls and spangled stars. The girls sang beautiful Christmas carols while Miss Martha Derrick played the piano. Katie Bogen, Lorraine Gale and Viola Allen gave entertaining readings. Verna Ayer talked interestingly on the topic, "What Does Christmas Mean?" The evening's program was made complete by several snappy songs by Mildred and Alice Monheit, and ukulele selections by Mildred. Delightful refreshments, cake and ice cream in rose and green were served. On each individual plate stood a tiny red candle in a green holder. Mrs. Graham concluded the evening's entertainment by presenting to each girl a petite stocking stuffed with candy, and wishing them all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. u. s. c. Vote!

The purpose of the conference was to make the educational process more essential in Christian education and character building. About eight hundred delegates from all over the nation attended. The North and South Carolinian delegates went in a special car to Detroit. While Miss Hamilton was in Detroit, she was entertained at banquets for the Y.

Mrs. Graham went on one of the Thomas Tours, which took her down the east and west coasts of Florida and Cuba. The first stop was St. Augustine, other stops being made at Tampa, Key West, and Silver Springs. "The most enjoyable part of the trip was the ride on the new Key West Railway. I enjoyed the journey across the Gulf, too, and was one of the few who didn't get seasick." Mrs. Graham visited the Marine Gardens at Silver Springs, spent Christmas day in Havana, saw the Bok Tower, a cigar factory in action, a sugar manufacturing plant, and many other novel sights. co-eds"Tssue new booklet Athletic Association Outlines Its Purpose, Aim, And Achievement The bulletin just issued by the Woman's Athletic Association proves to be quite an achievement in view of the fact that no other organization on the campus has issued such a publication. It was handled entirely by hand and was edited by the members of the Athletic Council. The chief purpose of the bulletin was to inform the student body as a whole what the Woman's Athletic Association is, what it stands for, and what it means to, the girls interested in physical education work. Three hundred copies of the bulletin are being issued now, and in the early spring the association hopes to have a spring edition. girl sleeps in cot at station Mary usually has a little lamb, but this time Mary had a desire for sleep ?and immediate sleep at that. The train had just pulled into the Union station in the blackest night that precedes gray dawn, and the prospect of waiting eternities for someone to let her in the University annex did not please Mary, so she decided to lie down to pleasant dreams, not on her couch, which is the place for dreams, but in the station itself. After glancing over the interior of the station the only way she could stretch out on the benches would involve twining her arms and legs about the arms of the seats, so she lay down in the white crib provided for babies. There a kindly maid found her and covered her with a pink blanket. So Mary slept, as innocently and calmly as any babe, until the bustle in the station awakened her and she finally started on the last lap of her journey to her destination. Who, seeing her, would have suspected that she was a Carolina co-ed? (This isn't a puzzle, but her last name suggests a very fragrant and spicy flower.) DOCTOR W7s. GRAY VISITOR TO CAMPUS A recent visitor of prominence to the campus was Dr. William Scott Gray, dean of the School of Education at the University of Chicago. Doctor Gray was in Columbia January 2nd. He addressed the meeting of the Association of Teachers of Adult Schools in South Carolina, which was held in the city. While on the campus, the visitor was shown through the various University buildings by Dean Baker. NEV HYPATIAN SOCIETY j INDUCTS OFFICERS < ! < "I am glad to say that you have shown < a better spirit of co-operation this term than I have ever known you to have," said Saluda Reese, retiring president, to ^ the members of the Hypatian Literary Society, Wednesday afternoon. . In her exaugural address Miss Reese j stated that the programs have been especially interesting and that the finances ~ of the society are in a better condition than usual. Annie Laurie Mitchell, installed as ^ president for the coming term, expressed her belief that the new members who have been taken in this year have in- J stilled new life and spirit in the organi s zation and that the society would go on advancing as it has all this year. The other officers who will serve dur- 3 ing the coming term and who were in- s stalled at the meeting Wednesday are: r Katherine Martin, vice-president; Ruth t Ellsworth, secretary; Ruby Ott, treas- a urer; Frances Black, critic; Sara Agnes a Jackson, recorder; Millie Taylor, moni- r tor; Sarah Crawford, Marshal.

But that isn't I news. Whoever heard of Alphonso? Be- I sides, co-eds have lost their appeal; whether Alphonso is*a petite blonde or a vivid brunette ceases to hold interest. a But wait! '' Alphonso is a snake. One of the most unassuming and meekest of the garden variety. She might have lived the ordi- a nary life of a snake if she had not been 1 spied by Miss Rosalyn Keyserling, while crossing the athletic field one day. Miss Keyserling has one pet hobby? g collecting animals and keeping them in c her room. On seeing the small, tan, yellow object, she was determined that it should be her latest "catch." She pro- ( vided herself with a box and bait and Q returned to make her capture. r "Here, climb into my box. I want you to live with my other animals," coaxed t fair Rosalyn, placing the box on the ground. "No, I prefer the freedom of an out- ? door life," returned the snake with a t longing glance at the bait. "I will give you a turtle and a fish for e company," continued the temptress. Tiiese promises were too much for a mere snake to resist. With one backward a glance at his childhood home, he slid into ( the box, and Miss Keyserling bore him h triumphantly to her room. Here, he was introduced to the turtle and the gold fish, the other members of the zoo. Nothwith- ( standing her rather unusual diet of cake v and bread, our new co-ed seems to be I very happy in her new home. t ' ~" V -??? I? VS| ) ?
