PI KAPPA ALPHAS TO HAVE BANQUET " A > Celebrating the founding of the raternity the local chapter of Pi ?appa Alpha will give a Founder's Day banquet Monday evening, March !nd, at the Rosemary Tea Room. The jucst of honor is to be Governor Ibra I?. Blackwood, who will make a short ;alk on some fraternity subject. A large number of alumni of Coumbia and nearby cities arc expected :o be present for the occasion. Pi Kappa Alpha was founded March* I, 1868, at the University of Virginia, ind, as has been the custom for several years, all of the seventy-eight active chapters of the fraternity will have similar celebrations to the one planned here. The members of the local chapter are: William Donclan, Allan Donelan, Wayne Shannon, Mike Brown, Claude Martin, Bill King, Glenn McCartt, Frank Gibbes, Randolph Johnson, Frost Walker, Francis Hope, Chalmers Hop.!, and Bill Gilmore. The following are pledges. Bill Shannon, Bill Humphlett, Jordan Holliway, Miles Blount, Julian Stith and Charlie | DeLoache. u. s. c. Fashion's Foibles Aside from the advanced spring hats discussed in the last article, individual costume hats to Jjc worn with the new spring suits and with the street dresses which will soon be making their appearances, art of special importance this season. Felt is decidedly passe. Just a very few of the earliest of the season's hats arc of felt, while nearly all of the dressy costume and street hats are of silk and cloth material. The silk ones include satins, ribbons, and velvets. Straws and linens are in majority for the less dressy costumes. For the semi-tailored suit the wrapped turban is still good. This is just as often of the material of the suit as it is of some contrasting material. It is often made of the goods trimming the suit. Hats with scarfs to match arc featured also. A street hat of electric blue is of very stiff closely woven straw. Its crown is low and on the left side of the front the brim is crushed back against the crown and a blue camellia is pressed underneath. This hat is of a very swanky and stylish type and has a blue and white scarf to go with it. The newest and most charming hat to be worn with the black and white afternoon or street dress is a soft white velvet. A distinctive hat of this style has its crown shirred in circular fashion over the right ear and cross the front to imitate the effect of. a turned back brim. The velvet turban is very popular in white and bright colors. For the formal afternoon dress small black satin hats are best. No well dressed woman will leave this type of hat out of her collection for spring. These little hats have small turned back brims and are worn way back on the head. Incidentally delicate sandal like slippers in black kid or patent leather are worn with these dresses and hats on formal occasions, such as tea dances. Larger hats have their wopsided brims cut very narrow across the face to show the hair. This gives a very feminine effect and the iaigc hats of the midsummer season will follow this style. u. s. c. FOUNV- One bunch of keys in case. .Owner can have same from Mrs. Moon on proper identification. Allen Iiorton, Doris Stokes, and Courtney Atkinson spent the weekend with Cornelia Dowling at her home in Swansea. Miss Selena McGregor former student at the University, has returned to Columbia fiom New York City, where she has been employed for the past few months.

Phi Sigma Ka Enjoy E: Buck Bradley, "head man" of "hell week" for the Phi Sigma Kappas, one of several fraternities to hold initiations recently, planned an exciting course of events for the pledges. Their troubles started by having to plant broom sage in the yard around the Phi Sigma Kappa house?evidently in an effort to make it resemble a cottage snuggled in the western prairies. This completed, the innocents removed their shoes and socks, rolled up their pants, donned slickers and rain hats, and paraded around the block in which the Fair and Rembert Houses arc included. The members were thoughtful enough of the little brothers to telephone their best girl friends so they could be out on the sidevalk to see how cute they looked. Each pledge was required to obtain from somewhere ten pounds of coal, and have it in a certain place at a certain time. The next morning the University missed fifty pounds more or less of coal and fifty pounds more or less of said article were found in some certain place.
