Ranah Heyw CAMPUS COURSE BY KATHERINE HINES DAMSELS DRESS * Many and beautiful were the dresses worn by the Senior damsels at their Christmas ball last Friday at the Hotel Jefferson. It seems that our beautiful co-eds were the perfect Madamoiselles as they modeled the latest colors and styles amidst the Christmas gaiety of the scene. 0 Norine Huey looked adorable, dressed in pink net with close-fitting brocaded jacket and swirling skirt bordered in bows of pink sequins. Polly Cely's blond beauty was offset in pink net with a girdle of pink taffeta studded with rhinestones. Also dressed in pink was Sally Nichols. The bodice was of silver lamee with the flattering sweetheart neck that's so fashionable this season. * Quite appealing to the eye was the striking black taffeta worn .by Ellouise Singley with its novel trimming of gold braid and perky bustle back. Speaking of bustles, "Jack" McCutcheon's dress was unusual with its bustle paneled in green and red. Edith Tinsley also selected black taffeta with rhinestone straps. 0 Additional eye appeal plus style and warmth of color was the red moire taffeta worn by "Edie" Ford. Betty Miller, one of our charm ing Virginians, also wore red but her gown was made of net with a wide ruffled border on skirt, and rhinestone clasp at the neck. Quite sophisticated was the gown of black and red worn by Betty Barnett. The bodice was of black velvet and the hoop skirt of red taffeta trimmed with black velvet bows. 0 As you know, white is also outstanding this season, and Peggy Bailey's gorgeous taffeta trimmed with tiny gold bows down the front was a perfect illustration. Serena Foreman wore white satin, princess style, with tiny pleats making an attractive bodice. Steadman Cork's white moire set off her dark hair and olive complexion. * Betty Welchel was lovely in ice blue satin with rhinestone straps, as was Gene Eves dressed in peach net with dainty lace trimmings. INITIATIONS * Several fraternities and sororities have been having initiations lately. The Sigma Chis last weekend initiated Henry Thomas, Dick Ward, Albert Hill,. and Lewis Worthing. This week Pi Kappa Phi initiated David Murray and Jimmy Merchant. Tonight Jean Timmons, Marie Ulmer, Kitty Lou Thompson, and Florrie Burgess will be initiated into Chi Omega.

Prowling Init When Corner A Sigma Chi initiate found out ti ference between being a dyed-in-the plain ordinary common sense. One the moment a beetle-browed officer c picture. The initiate in question was out' in one of Columbia's suburban areas with his Sigma Chi paddle posing as an itinerant prowler, etc. That's ex actly what the neighbors thought also, and straight-a-way one of them be came suspicious. He watched this apparent "bum" open mail boxes and sneak around among the surrounding houses un til he became exasperated and forth with called the cops. However, this resident of the suburban area in question felt that he was perhaps a little hard-hearted and before the cops put in appearance proceeded to go down and put the youth through a personal third degree. But the initiate wouldn't talk. To all questions asked he would shrug his shoulders, point to his paddle and walk away. It was for the duty and glory of Sigma Chi. Hell no, he wouldn't talk. Then the squad car rolled up, and the afore-mentioned flat-foot stepped out and collared the vagrant. Ac cording to ear-witnesses such a squawking and flow of words has never been heard in those parts;' the young man quickly -dropped his pledge of silence and set forth hurriedly to prove his identity. His volubleness got him out of this scrape, but irom now on if a man wants to know something and he knows it-well he's gonna tell, and tell long and loud at that.
