Sate BY MARY BE Now that the glorified freshmen and transfers have gone Greek, thereby practically erasing the word "rush" off the campus social calendar, and each has settled down to tht task of personifying his or her own interpreta tion of Freddie Frat and Sorority Sal, the old timers are at liberty to call time out. But, no. The gentlemen waive their right to rest and announce Pan-Hel lenic, and a Social Cabinet dance. And the ladies of each sorority set about introducing their "adorable" additions to Carolina's eligible males, with much partying, teaing and opening-of houses. Both projects, we admit, have met with such approval that a stranger in these parts would think each stu dent no more than a day off some desert isle where his sole social com panions were sand gnats and oysters. Pan-Hellenic Pan-Hellenic Friday night should be fun, as it's sponsered by the new regime. And the Social Cabinet af fair on Saturday night, (which means they won't have to decorate the gym but once) will be just fine to finish off an afternoon of fun and frivolity. With our old friend, one B. Spann swinging it on both occasions. Damas While the German club is lagging being, Damas has added two more members, Dorothy Craw and Nancy Childs, and announced that the Christ mas dance will come off December 4. There has been an unofficial rumor going around to the effect that the Alpha Delta Pi's are planning two for mals this year. The first, a pre-Christ mas affair, on the night of the first Damas; the second, some time along in the spring, on the night of the sec ond Damas. This, as you'll recog nize, is strictly "graveyard" talk, which you can't corner us on, as we only heard. Delta Zeta Monday night the sisters of Delta Zeta indulged in a good old-fashioned candy pull at Rosemary Griffin's home. The pull was in honor of the chapter's new pledges and was at tended by chapter members, that for gotten group, the pledges of last sea son, and, of course, the guests of honor. Sigma Chi The Chi's are planning open house just after the Duke game on account one of the Duke's football stars, Parker, is a brother. They're inviting the Duke football team, other Duke visitors and the alumnus. Kappa Alpha At the pledge service of K. A. at the frat house Monday night, Colonel J. Rion McKissick, a brother in the lodge addressed the boys informally. Later, there were refreshments. John Smith and Ben Wyman will wind Converse-ward this week-end. Tired of local talent? Alpha Delta P1 The Alpha Dooleys will have open house Saturday afternoon after the Duke game so that the new girls will have an opportunity to meet the men, as is their custom to do annually. Mrs. McCaw, house mother, will preside at the punch bowl. Pledge officers, of Alpha Delt are: Lucy Lewis, president; Evelyn John ston, secretary; Virginia Webb, treas urer and Mary Cecil Brabham, chap lain.' Delta Delta Delta The tri-Delts are a couple of days ahead on their drop which was held yesterday at the home of Mrs. Press ley for the new pledges. New pledge officers of the Deltas are: Sara DesPortes, president; Sara Spencer, vice-president; Emma An derson, treasurer; Rannah H eywood, secretary and Dot Seabrook, chaplain. Chi Omega The Chi-O's pledges were honored at a drop-in on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Keenan. And Sunday, the girls will be at home to honor the new pledges of Kappa Sigma, their brother fraternity. Local Girl Betsy Bowen has become a shin ing example of local girl making good. Betsy, a psychology major at Caro lina last year, went to apply for a scholarship' at the City and Country Progressive School institution In New York during a visit to that metropolis last summer. She wanted the thing next year, but the authorities were so Impressed that they urged that she ii tes LLE HIGGINS coming back home to finish up. So she did, and is now getting training which will enable her to run a progres sive school (whatever that may be), and attending the New York Univer sity at the same time. Betsy was one of the most charm ing girls (we copied it out of a Real Society column) on the campus and a popular member of the younger set while here. To Durham 'Professor and Mrs. Carlisle Roberts were among those who motored to Durham last week-end to attend the Duke-Colgate game. Note to the freshmen: 'The Roberts 'were married only last August. He's the youngest professor of the Law, and she's the ex Hamilton Warren, who is famous as the first May Queen (last year) at Carolina whose maids wore Un-ruf fled dresses in the coronation. Bits Maxie Mills also attended the Dur ham game; Lawton Cothran went home to Timmonsville for the week end; Amelia Arthur, Ruthie de Loache, Anne Durham and Ellen Verna, mo tored to Winnsboro the other Sunday afternoon; Rosa Wilder and Dot Platt winged homeward to Sumter. -U. S. 0. Odds And Ends TAP DANCER Perhaps the best crack that was made about the Duke-Colgate game came in the canteen when W. A. Duncan, lackey boy for the football squad, heard static com ing over the radio. W. A. raised his eye-lids, waved his hands around like Zazu Pitts, and re marked: "That must be Ace Parker tap dancing around the Red Raiders." WHERE TO? Fans of V. M. I. were i.ui accuatoIrned to hearing the way Carolina called sig nals. As most of you know, the quarter back always yells, "One, two; One, two," before the ball is snapped from the cen ter to the ball-carrier. One V. M. I. fan misunderstood the quarter-back. He thought the signal caiier said: "Where to? Where to?" Whereupon he yelled: "Get the ball and follow the interfer ence, you fool." FIVE YEARS Carolina may not stop Duke in their meet Saturday at 3:00 but no one can say that the Gamecocks won't be in there fighting. Captain Bob Johnson expressed his feeling by saying, "I'd give five years of my life to beat the blue devils." Al ternate Captain Paul Gaffney remarked: "They know they've been in a fight. It should take V. M. I. weeks to get. over what we did to them." ADDRESS "How to Prepare a Program for Deputation Work," was the subject of an address delivered before the Carolina Christian Service Club by Rev. D. M. Johnson, missionary on furlough from South America, at its regular meeting Wednesday night in Flinn Hall. Reverend Johnson is an alumnus of the University and is taking a Ph. D. degree here. HIGHER WAGES Selinsgrove, Pa (ACP).-Susque hanna University's football players have gone on strike for higher wages because the time taken by practice caused their employers to reduce their wages. --U. U. O. A Co-Ed's Poetry By Betty Comstock This little sheet- looks so inviting It calls for soul-inspired writing. But, as my muse does not appear, The old and trite must do I fear. I try to say just what I think But somehow there's a missing link. I want to write as poets do Find brand new things to say of you I think you're marvelous, divine, But gosh, I'm .stealing someone's line. Originality's not my field, For me the door is barred and sealed. So instead of trying to do it well, I'll be mediocre and say "You're swell." I jump at every jingle of the phone. I listen to the radio-alone. I read a book and then--I go to bed,1 I guess you really meant the thingsI you said. You may not be Bob Taylor, Or even Fred Astaire, But when somm guy has stood me up, I I always knw you're there.

Colonel Talks On Religion In Vesper Services President Cites Evidence Of Re ligious Forces At Work On Carolina Campus "I believe that our student body is as morally clean as any other in South Carolina or in any other State," said J. Rion McKissick, president of the University, at the vesper services of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in the chapel Sunday night. "I do not know of any other edu cational institution in the whole world which so long has been so grossly, so deliberately and so infamously slandered as our University. I appeal to every student in it to join me in protecting the good name of Carolina." If he did not believe that both the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are greatly worthwhile and are effective forces in the up-building of the Uni versity, he would have nothing to lo with them, the president asserted, dding that he is interested in the re igious forces of the institution for hese reasons: 1. Although Carolina has never of Fered special inducements to students wvho e%pect to go into religious work, 154 ministers and other religious work ers have graduated here since thAe World War. Religion here produces esults. 2. Religion here is not sissy or ef eminate.. 3. Religion on the campus is worthy ecause of the outstanding leaders of he student body who have taken part n it. 4. Religion and intellectual achieve nent have often gone hand in hand >n the campus. Discussing the chapel problem, Pres dent McKissick declared that he >roposes to experiment with methods f making it more attractive with the lope of reducing compulsory atten lance to a minimum or of abolishing t. As to drunkenness at football games, te expressed the opinion that most of t has been attributable to people who iave no connection whatever with the Jniversity. In the movement to sup iress it, he feels certain of the whole earted cooperation of the students.

Y. A. DIRECTOR REVEALS PROGRAM For Coming Year States That Undergraduates Will Have Monthly Earnings Of $15.00 A recent announcement of Dep uty NYA Director Richard Brown revealed that $5,057,630 would be spent on regular undergraduate and gradu ate benefits, but that this would be supplemented with a fund of $629,135 for distribution to students in the 20 drought-ridden states of the south and middle west. The program this year will largely duplicate that of former years, with college officials exercising complete control over the selection of applicants and the devising and supervising of the work they perform. Monthly earnings are also unchanged, with av erages of $15 set for undergraduates and $25 for graduates. Macky's Ocular Hit With Bottle Mills Yells Out Of Turn Carolina Student Roots For Duke And Enrages Colgate Fanatic That little piece of adhesive tape over Macky Mills' right eye covers a slight gash he received at the Duke-Colgate football game in Durham last week-end. It so happened that Mills was sitting in the Colgate stands when one of the Duke players started on a long run. "Come on Duke," yelled Macky. No sooner had he said this than a husky fellow from Colgate picked up a pop bottle and let him have it above the eye. Onlookers said that Macky gave a deep sigh and collapsed. New System Is_Devised At Emory__University All Major Sports Are Conducted On A Unique Inter-Class Basis Atlanta, Ga. (ACP).--With college interest centering to a greater extent than ever before on intramural athletics in place of the now highly commer cialized intercollegiate system, Emory University is finding herself in the en viable position of forerunner of a re form movement. But the system is nothing. new in .this Methodist controlled university. For over 40 years Emory has confined participation in major sports to inter class and inter-organization contests on the campus, and students voted sev eral years ago to spend the money an nually spent in inter-collegiate minor sports on the intramural system. Yet, despite the lack of an intense athletic hatred for other schools, Em ory has steadily grown even during the depression, students and officials heartily endorsing the program that gives every student a chance at athletic participation. That interest is turning toward this system is not only born .out by the letters received from colleges and uni versities throughout the nation desir ing specific information, but Florida Southern; Lambuth and Baltimore uni versities have recently adopted the sys tern. Each freshman at Emory is required to spend several hours each week in some form of athletics, experimenta tion showing that the. majority con tinue to participate in some form dur ingr the remainder of their colleg lif. Players May Present Play Final Report Later Reading Of "Bury The Dead," By Shaw, Creates Controversy Among Group "Bury the Dead," a one act play by Irwin Shaw, was the topic of discus sion at the first meeting of the Uni versity Players, Wednesday night. Because of its unusual nature, the play created quite a bit of controversy among the members of the University Players. Members who have read this drama led the movement for its production. Next week the final report of the play will be given by the play com mittee. At its initial performance, March 14, in New York, audience and critics alike hailed it as the most moving and effective plea of our time against war. The primary aim of its youthful au thor is to draw more young people, especially students of today, into the struggle being waged against militar ism and the horrors of war. Their lives, the author contends, are the ones that will be forfeited in the next strug gle. The production has had a con tinuous run since its premiere in March. The play will be read in toto next Wednesday night at the meeting held at 8:00 o'clock in Davis 3. Students interested either in this play or in dramatics as a whole are invited to at tend.
