The machine j?- has carried the singers on several highly successful trips, among them New York and Chicago. Strenuous efforts are being exerted both by members of the club and its well-wishers to raise the necessary sum, complete the payments, and put the bus in first class shape. In addition to the patrons of the club who will act as chaperons, the parents of the boys in the club have been asked to attend as chaperons.

Featuring the Florida Collegians under the direction of Fred Hamilton, the dance attracted thugs, bandits, and soup-and-fish costumed alike. The fairer sex present represented every section of South Carolina and some even came from other states. Among the Carolina students and Columbia girls attending were Margaret Mann, Susannah Barnwell, Rosalyn Keyserling, LaVerne Hughes, Katie Bogen, Harriet Lever, and Mary McFall. Claudia Anna Evans of Anderson and "Shipwreck" Kelly won prizes as the best costumed. U. 8. O. Business Girl Is Best Mate R. G. Bell Says Women With Business Experience Make Better Wives Eventually "Other things' being equal, I must say a girl who has had some experience in business could enter into the partnership of marriage somewhat better than one who has not had such experience," stated R. G. Bell, a member of the University Vocational Guidance committee and, incidentally, a married man. Mr. Bell was the only one of three faculty members who were interviewed who would make a statement as to whether the business girl made the better wife or not. "Being a married man," said Professor Robert Sumwalt, "I prefer not to be quoted on so delicate a subject." Professor Joseph Stokes refused to be interviewed for quite a different reason. "I have not had much experience with either a wife or wives, so I do not feel qualified to expound any opinions on the matter." With enthusiasm, Mr. Bell continued his discourse. "Success in the marriage relationship depends upon the ability with which both parties can understand cach other and enter into a 'give-and-take' relationship with a spirit of sportsmanship." Mr. Bell thinks that a girl who has had business experience is better fitted for the marriage vows than one who has led the sheltered life. He also declares that this statement should be modified by an application of the old adage, "It takes the exception to make the rule." With a Shavian smile, "On the other hand, a business career makes marriage come later in life and it is not so easy for mature people to change their mode of living. And besides, look at all the time they waste. "But wait," exclaimed Mr. Bell, "It is not the kind of girl, but the girl that counts in the final analysis," With this parting shot the mentor of the Y. M. C. A. returned to his correspondence. Mr. Bell's views coincide with those of Marion G. Fottler and Warren T. Benson, noted exponents of Vocational Guidance. They declare that a business career teaches a girl to mini jt\ . Vi??*;\'. ,r"'t ... V v.v,' * ' News r Orchestra Givt which under the direction of Mme.

Co-Eds Prove Of WiseJ Men Of Eight Fraternities Fall Int Name Best-Looking Be Groups; Co-E "Men are the most gullible creatures on earth," said a co-ed who ought to know. "They believe everything they arc told." An argument was immediately precipitated. "Prove it," said another damsel. "I will," said Lady No. 1, and she did. Nine fraternities on the campus were called. A sweet feminine voice told cach one: "This is Meredith Jones." (A girl would have suspected something right away. Girls simply aren't named "Meredith Jones" any more. "I'm trying to get up an article for The Gamecock, and will you please tell me whom you consider your four best-looking boys?" ? Eight out of nine fraternity men "fell" and requested a few minutes to think. Here are the results: Sigma Nu named Joe Miot, Bob Bailey, Roy Powell, and Frank Durham. Kappa Alpha was most enthusiastic and tried to date our \little Meredith, they suggested Dave Hamilton, Bill Coan, Jack Crosland, and George Benjamin. Pi Kappa Phi put forward Johnny Bowden, W. H.

Sigma Phi Epsilon had no such trouble. It is the opinion of Meredith Jones, who gathered the statistics, that there were only four boys at the house at the time. They were Robert Freeman, Craig Banksley, C. Bedenbaugh, and Ray Godshall. Last but not least were the Phi Kappa Sigmas, who had such an abun dance of good-looking men that they ! had a hard time choosing the four. < Their final choice was Jack Sholen- j berg, Nowell Ridgell, "Cowboy" Ur- J quhart, and Ted Tharin.

Seibels entertained the members and a few of the alumni of the local chapter at his home Tuesday evening.

Speakers of the occasion were: Fitzhugh McMaster, "Reminiscences of the Remote Ages;" Dr. William Weston, Jr., "The Middle Ages;" and Pat Nelson, a member of the active chapter, "Present Day Conditions." All talks were most instructive. An interesting feature of the program was an- address by Mr. Seibels that he made at an anniversary dinner of the fraternity 47 years ago. Allen Clarkson, who was pledged to Delta chapter last week, talked on the future of the fraternity and why he went S. A. E.
