In this way "A" is 1.00, "B" is 2.00, "C" is 3.00, "D" is 4.00, while "E," the lowest rating allowed, is 5.00.

Tentative plans of the committee, composed of Jim Galloway, Bill Cantey, Harry Singletary and Carolyn Burnet, include a prom at one of the city hotels. During the grand march favors will be presented to the guests. Souvenirs lor the girls will probably be novelty compacts and boutonniers for the boys, A short program of toasts and songs will be an interesting feature of the entertainment. "Tickets will be very reasonable due to the fact that the junior class treasury will be able to bear a great part of the expenses," Galloway stated. Tempting refreshments will be served throughout the dance amid an artistic and modernistic atmosphere. V. 0. c. Spring Holidays To Begin Friday "Spring holidays will begin at e?Kht o'clock Friday morning, March 28th, and will last until eight o'clock Tuesday morning, March *?th," announced Registrar John A. Chase, Jr., this week. "Students will be at liberty to leave the campus after they have burnished their classes on Thursday, March 94th, but the holidays do not begin until Friday morning ^d remember: double cuts count for two days before and after the holidays." Holidays came last year about the middle of April. The difference ' due to the date of holidays depending uport d?t? oiF J?a?ter s'easbh. I Studes Reveal Inner Passion In Confession "Get My Man", Co-Ed Males Interested Primarily In Future, Not In Juliet Just Now "My own desire is to get the man I love." That in ten words expresses the unexpressed?or rather suppressed?desires of two-thirds of the co-eds interviewed on their big ambition. The consuming passion of the majority of Carolina's daughters then is cither a blonde, brunette, or red head. And what are the chances for these desires to be fulfilled? Not so good, if these maidens are planning to marry their old schoolmates. At least of all of the boys interviewed, not one professed himself to be concentrating supremely on getting a wife. Or maybe they just take it for granted that any woman would jump at the chance to be the wife of the president of the United States, the moll of a really good gangster like Scarface Al, the mate of a Flying Eagle, or the editor of Ballyhoo. For such is the diversity of ambitions held by the male citizens of the campus. The last was second only to those ambitious of finding the Lindbergh baby. Nor were these pursuits confined to the boys. They were shared by several co-eds who professed a desire to take the air, run for president, and one ten-minute eggettc even said she would like to take up a racket. One enterprising journalism co-ed declared she was going to be a really successful Winchell. .. And men who think they have a corner on the vagabonds would be amazed at the number of itching feet enclosed in dainty suede and alligator skin slippers?or what arc the chicshod sporting this season? TJ. B. O. Blue Key Has Luncheon Meet Several Students And Alumni Elected Into Group; Discuss Worthy Matters Several students and alumni were elected to Blue Key fraternity last j night at a luncheon meeting at the Rose Mary Tea room at 7 o'clock. The names will not be disclosed until the men acknowledge acceptance of the bids. John Bolt Culbertson, president, presided. Several matters of service to the University were brought up and discussed. The fraternity adopted a number of amendments to its constitution. Initiation of the newly-elected members will probably take place the middle of April at a formal banquet. TJ. . O. Steward's Hall Matron Passes Annie Witherspoon Dies After Brief Illness, Due To Acute Attack Of Heart Trouble Miss Annie Rcid Witherspoon died Saturday at the home of her sister, Mrs. S. L. Latimer, 2211 Wheat street. Her death came after a brief illness and was due to acute heart trouble. "Miss Annie," as she was affectionately callcd by the students, had been for 20 years assistant manager of Steward's Hall of the University, and had gained the love and respect of all she came in contact with. The University students will universally mourn her passing. Liliom Will Be Next Play Here The next production of the Palmetto Players of the University will be "Liliom," by Franz Molnar. This is by far the most ambitious project yet | to be attempted by the Players but it is hoped that it can be made an even bigger success than "So This is Lond?Rehearsals began Wednesday night and the initial performance will be put on sometime early in April.

William Lynchburg; back row (negative team): of Myrtle Beach, and LeRoy Want of Senior Class Meets Today Plan Protest Of Changes In The Requirements For Graduation And ftonors A meeting of the senior class lias been called today, according to Frank Bostick, president, in order to consider matters relative to the recent raise in standard for graduation honors and the class gift. Bostick stated that many of the seniors have protested strongly against the change, which was approved by the faculty recently. The revised ruling raises the requirements for both the rating "magna cum laude" and "cum laude." When approached on the subject, Troy T. Stokes, president of the student body and a member of this year's senior class, said that he considered the move unfair to the prospective graduates, since no advance notice was given of the proposed change. He stated, that in his opinion, he thought that at least a year's notice should be given. Registrar John A. Chase, Jr. re- j fused to comment on the situation, except to say that he felt sure that the < protests of the students would have much to do with any action the faculty j might take 011 the matter.

Objection to this lance which has been given at previous Eastertides was based on lack of funds. Others suggested that the jvent could be financed by those attending, not by the whole social fraternity group, as has been done in the past. Another motion carried requiring 3nly those attending the June ball ?iven by the Greek body to pay for the lance, although this, too, has been supported in the past by a blanket assessment laid on all social fraternities. By ignoring the statement of the innual officials that each fraternity lage will cost $30 if it goes into the yearbook, the council decided that here would be no social fraternities ection in this year's Garnet and Black. ess Views y Kidnapping nitted by a person who is very close o the family.
