Sate1 BY MARY BE] Socialites have been submerged in a whirlpool of house dances, smokers, lake parties and what have you (com ing up for air only long enough to at tend a class now and then) as the last and big week of fraternity rushing puts the boys on their toes. Feminine dates are carried along in case their pulcri tude or personality will have a bit of influence on the cherubs. Which keeps them pretty busy at that. S. A. E. The brethren of Sigma Alpha Epsi lon played host for their share of rush parties. Sunday, they picnicked at Toots Walker's country home; Tues (lay they staged a smoker at the Pick ens Street palace; Wednesday they partied at Lake Murray; Thursday they entertained at a theatre party; and tonight their Mother's Club is giving a house dance for the boys. Sigma Nu Just around the corner the Nus were hard at work hosting around. A fish fry at Mrs. R. R. Bruner's (Bobby's mother) country place Tues (lay, a party at Mrs. H. H. Harris's cottage on Lake Murray (Bob Smith), and a house dance tomorrow night have been included on their social cal endar. K. A. Next door to the Nus the Kappa Alpha's, all set up in a new lodge house, danced at home Monday, pic nicked at Forest Lake, Tuesday, (lanced at the Roof Garden 'yester (lay, will entertain at Johnny DuBose's country estate (aren't we the ritzy school-every alum guaranteed a country place), and will dance at home again tomorrow night. Phi Kappa Sig Still down in the park we hear the Phi Kappa Sig's Chatterboxed Satur day, supped on steaks at Lake Murray Sunday afternoon, danced at the house on Wednesday, and are planning a re peat performance of the same tonight. Pi Kappa Phi Striking an informal note with their socializing, the Pi Kappa Phi's rushees, and dates, all piled into an open truck Sunday afternoon and rode to Adams' Pond where refreshments were served. They returned in time to get caught in that rainstorm, were forced to take refuge in a house by the wayside (po etic now, eh?) until cars came out from town to the rescue. More fun. Monday and Thursday nights they had house dances, and tonight Brother John D. Carrol at Lexington will be host for the chapter and rushees at supper. Sigma Chi The guys who are famous because of their sweetheart who b)roke into song, danced Monday, supped at the Friendly, ,Tuesday; gave a smoker Wednesday at Marion Knox's. Chick en salad was served for the non smokers and even for those who in (dulge in the filthy weed. They'll smoke at the frat house tonight and party there tomorrow after the sun goes down. Pi K. A. All the Pi Kappa Alpha's have scheduled their house dances for Mon day, Wednesday and Friday. These were given at their very attractive new place on Henderson. (Once again, we sound almost like a society col umn). One of the highlights of their social week was a buffet supper at Dave Graham's Monday evening. Kappa Sigma Dancing at the house on Pendleton and Bull which has been home to the Kappa Sigs for lot these two years, a party there Tuesday, a banquet at the Friendly Wednesday, another (lance Thursday, a fish fry tonight, and still another dance at the house tomorrow, complete the K. Sigma's programme card provided for the en tertaining, designed for the conversion of rushees. A. T. O. Last night at the popular Lake Mur ray the Alpha Tau Omega's had a p)arty for (surprise I) rushees and their dlates. The Alpha Taus have also had their share of house dances and ii Columbia's Choice I ill Prioo Theatre lites ME HIGGINS smokers and have big doings planned for the grand finale on Saturday. Which means we haven't been able to find out just what. Phi Sigma Kappa The Phi Sigma Kappa played host at a house dance, a house party (one evening only), a delightful affair at Marion Coleman's, a party at Lake Murray, and a dinner at the Colum bia which will culminate their butter flying. Delta Delta Delta Helen Townsend entertained for Miss Bessie Cheetam, Tri-Delta bride elect, with a tea at her home on Green Street yesterday afternoon. Beverly Jones, whose recently an nounced engagement to Bernie Dun lap pleased the entire student body, is at present in the Columbia Hospital, where she was rushed for an appen dix operation. A. D. Pi The Alpha Delts pulled an im promptu and informal dinner at Bi hari's restaurant last Saturday after th< Erskine game. Actives, pledges, nc rushees for a change. They'll, how ever, have rushees at their party or Lake Murray tomorrow afternoon. The A. D. Pi's are the gals who go so many members in Damas. Not a pledge was there who didn't get a bid. Congratulations! Or could w< be wrong? Pi Phi Two teas have recently been given in honor of our Pi Beta Phi's. Th< first by Mrs. Percy Crown at hel home, for just actives and pledges old and brand new, the second by Mrs. Hawkins of the University it honor of the chapter at her home ot Wilmot avenue. Rushees were rushed at the latter. Sigma Kappa Four of the Sigma Kaps, Elizabeth Harvey, Cornelia Yoker, Mildred an< Sara Matthews, have just returne( from a frat convention held at Trant lake-in-the-Pines, thirty miles west o Denver, Colorado. Strangely enough they report a wonderful trip and a grand time. But don't think we ar< being sarcastic, we're just jealous.

LATE SHOi MONI Gary Cool 0Dpular"M .D T ILL V AM Madame Swee Experienc Theater patrons in Paris have no h real excuse for becoming hysterical v or panic-stricken in case a bomb, e dropped from some throbbing Ger- 1) man airship, comes crashing down through the roof-that is, if they fol- l( low instructions. b For in every theater and public b building in Paris, there are attached F to the walls large placards on which s are printed in large letters, full and e detailed instructions as to what course ti to pursue in case of an enemy air d raid, according to Madame Grace h Cameron Sweeny, associate professor of modern languages at the Uni- s versity of South Carolina, who spent the past summer in the great French I city. Yet despite this constant reminder I of the threat of foreign invasion, Paris f is calm "on the surface," Madame I Sweeny says. "The newspapers are talking war I and sounding warning against inter- t national complications, yet the aver- i age Frenchman feels that what is a happening in Spain is impossible in t France. "The French have no desire for r war-they are utterly on the defen- t sive; are willing to negotiate with other powers, but feel that in order for their negotiations to have weight, they, as a nation, must be on military parity with their neighbors. Their attitude to other nations is one of apprehension, even suspicion, but they are in no sense aggressive. Even so, it is the leaders of the country who are thinking war-the man in the street, believes war will be averted. 1 On s'arrangera, he says, which might be translated 'Things will be adjusted.' "Something about the theaters? They are well attended. In the movies, Charlie Chaplin is the favor ite player. They like Shirley Temple and Charles Boyer, who is part French, I but Chaplin is the favorite. American films are popular and prices to see them are quite high. But you can attend the opera for 21 cents if you i are willing to sit in the second balcony. "Music? You hear little or no jazz I or swing music in Paris. The classics is the popular music. Economic Conditions "Economically, France is suffering acutely." Madame Sweeny said. "She thinks herself a ruined nation. "The present administration is try ing to put into effect a New Deal, modeled in part on the American New )eal and the English ideal. A 40 SUNDAY NIGHT! I Yourself In for a Dnderful Time!
