Delta Eta Sigma Leads
Registrar Anounces Ranks Of Fraternities,
Sororities, And
Student Body Groups
Delta Kta Sigma, local sorority, led
the fraternities and sororities at the
University in scholarship average the
first semester of the present scholastic
year. The average for the sorority
was 1.70 or about a "B" pins average.
Pi Delta Phi, local sorority, came second
with a 2.11 average; while Pi Beta
Phi, national sorority, came third with
an average of 2.17.
Phi Sigma Kappa, led the fraternities
with an average of 2.51 and came
fifth in the list of fraternities and sororities.
Phi Beta Delta, came second
on the fraternity average roll, with
2.G0; followed by Phi Epsilon Pi in
third place with 2.0(5.
The all student body average was
2.87 as compared with the all fraternity
and sorority average of 2.85. The
all women's average was 2.54, while
the all men's average was 3.05. The
all women's average is the highest average
of any group of students considered
separately from the fraternity
and sorority averages.
The highest rating possible under
the system is 1.00, according to Registrar
John A. Chase, Jr., who prepares
the figures for distribution. 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.
The averages in full are given below:

Junior-Senior Celebration To Be
Featured By Dance; Plans
Get Underway
The banquet feature of the annual
Junior-Senior celebration will be eliminated
for the first time in many
years, according to Jim Galloway,
junior class president.
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.

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

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

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?

of amendments to its constitution.
Initiation of the newly-elected members

Miss Annie Rcid Witherspoon died

Her death came after a brief illness
and was due to acute heart trouble.
"Miss Annie," as she was affectionately

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.

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. (

others that he was on a ship at sea, }

by gangs, but others said that a friend 1
of the family was implicated. Some
put forth the idea that he was dead s
and one said that his fate would re- t

Greeks To Give
No Easter Ball
Pail-Hellenic Not To Levy Blanket
Assessment To Cover June
Ball This Year
No Pan-Hellenic Easter ball will be
staged this year as the result of a
motion passed March 7 by the PanHellenic
council. 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
