CAMPUS COURSE Last Sunday was a glorious preview of spring, a preview in technicolor, with a hazy chartreuse background, vividly splash ed with purple, rose, gold and blue. But spring has moved on, not without its romantic aftermath. You know, in the spring a young man's fancy . .... and this time the thoughts proved se rious . .. .. with two surprise marriages as a result. Congratula tions to. the lucky boys who won Betty Allen and Nell Ramsay. The Phi Kappa Sigma formal was delightful, with many charming out-of-town visitors. Violet Cremar, of Newcomb college, New Orleans, sponsor for Pete Blackwell, president of the local chapter,.and house guest of Margaret Blackwell, was one of the loveliest guests at the ball. Anini Lee Moore wore a picturesque black hoop-skirted dress and long white gloves. Jean Campbell, one of our not-to-be-forgotten co-eds, looked as cute as we remember her in fluffy white, with a new page boy coiffure. Sarah Harrison wore wine moire taffeta with a rhine stone strap. Ethel hodes looked very pretty in vari-colored purple chiffon. And everyone had a good time. The big feature of this weekend is the Southern Conference Boxing Tournament to be held in the field house on Friday and Saturday nights. Eighteen sponsors have been chosen, one for each of the member schools of the Southern Conference, a Miss Richland County,-and a Miss Columbia. The sponsors are to wear evening dresses and have ringside seats. Their bouquets are to be tied with tulle in the colors of the school for which they sponsor, and as they are announced, the Alma Mater of the school represented will be played by the University band. It is interesting to note that three of the Alma Maters are alike-Clemson, the University of North Carolina, and The Citadel. Nice for the band. On Saturday night the sponsors are to be guests at the ball for the Southern Conference boxers. This dance is sponsored by the Social Cabinet and will be held sin the gym after the finals. Will the boxers be there? I can hardly wait until next week to describe the knockouts at the dance-that's you, girls. The Delta Zeta's had a party last Thursday night at Velda Harth's. They had a Standards meeting Wednesday at Duma Harris', with Nita Turner in charge of the program. The Sigma Kappa's announce that they have moved their so rority house to 1220 Pendleton with Mrs. Moorhead. The Chi Omega's were entertained last Thursday with a supper at the sorority house given by the pledges. The chapter sent an alumna representative, Margaret Collins, president of the Columbia Alumnae chapter, to Cincinnati to the Alumnae Fireside. Next week they are to initiate .Constance Johnson and Dot Elliott. Prof. and Mrs. J. J. Petty 'entertained the Kappa Sigma chapter at a buffet supper Thursday night before their skating party at Twin Lakes. David Traylor, Tom McCutchen, Robert Harper, Lawton Cothran, and Woodrow Coker attended the mid-winters at Davidson as guests of the chapter there. Sigma Nu pledged Gus Williamson Sunday night and initiated Bobby Browne, Kenneth Sallenger, Bill Chalker, and Nevin Betts. The Pi Kappa Phi's gave a party at Twin Lakes Saturday night, with a glorious mixture of dancing, skating, bowling, and . . . The A. T. O's had a skating party Monday night at Twin Lakes. John Dargan Rodgers is reported to have fallen down 32 times while teaching Annie Lee Moore to skate. Blue Key is sponsoring a dance on March 3. Buster Spann and his Gamecock orchestra will toot the flute at so much,per hour. (We can't reveal rates on account of the Union, but we will say that it's more after two o'clock. More what?) Next Tuesday Pi Beta Phi will initiate the following girls: Nicki MoCStein, Florence robbins, Maian Wilder, Dot Parke, Margaret Todd, Fontie Wilson, Bess Dowling, Betty Whelchel, Nancy Padgett, Martha Young, Ann Donnelly, and Theresa Jackson. Following the banquet at the Hotel Columbia, the Pi Phi's are giving an informal dlance in honor of the initiates at the Sloan Studio at 9:30. Margaret Ashe spent the past weekend in Florida (I had promised not to mention pasts in this column but I simply couldn't resist that), and Tommy Thompson left his week for Florida, where she plans to stay a month in the Florida sun. Margaret Mitcham and Edna Greene are both planning to go home this weekend. Elinor Brand is going to Wake Forest this weekend to at tend the mid-winter dances, for which Blue Barron and his or chestra will play. Peggy Bailey is going to spend her weekend at home in Springfield. Alpha Kappa Gamma's first Song Fest, held Thursday night was a howling success. Comnpetition was keen among both so rorities and fraternities. For the girls it was a very close contest, with Tri Delta winning over A. D. Pi by half a point. The boys' cup went to Sigma Chii for their rendition of the "Drinking Song'' and the ever popular "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi,'' which seems to appeal to girls, rushees and judges alike. Delta Sigma Pi came second. We missed the Worthy Brothers, as we understand they have some choice songs. Participants and audience joined in with a spirit unequalled anywhere ex cept in the community sing held at the late show. We applaud A. K. G. 's effort to encourage such student gatherings and hope it will be repeated. Botanical Gardens Get Fifty Mountain Trees Fifty trees brought from the base of the mountains were recently planted in the University Botanical Gardens, accord ing to Dr. E. C. Coker.

Sandy's System Succeeds; But Not For Long There's nothing like a pretty girl's smile, say a pretty girl like Sandy Hartman, to make a pro fessor forget missed questions especially if the smile is a wee bit bashful I It seems that Sandy has a habit of acting very upset when profes sor Charles Mercer asks her a dif ficult physics question. A coy smile thrown in is supposed to com pletely rout any professor. And usually it works. Professor Mercer happened to ask Sandy a hard question one day last week. And darn if four not as cute girls didn't begin to act upset and bashful at the same time-in competition to Sandy. The quartet had framed the act, hoping to put Miss Hartman's sys tem to shame.
