CAMPUS COURSE BY JEANNE WITHERS GOSSIP OF A SORT 0 Well, kiddies, pull in those tired and aching feet, put away those vacation souvenirs, cut the rehashing of your holiday rush and let's go. We have before us a new year, yes indeed, the bachelors' bane-Leap Year. But right now we know one young Lothario who will not get a rush from a certain co-ed whom he stood up. How about it, Lang Long? . . . The past week was spent quietly at home by .most of the members of the country club, but the social whirl was maintained by Mag Cain's delightful debut and. Junior Damas... A candid camera fiend was loose at Damas and caught soph Leader Lil Boulware as she jitterbugged in pink net... Doll-like Sarah Morrison was there in white net with one of the new exaggerated hiplines. You know, looks like someone stuffed the guest room mattress in it. . . Everywhere that Emily Brown went she rustled like the trees. She claims that it was her pink stiffened taffeta, but there are those who wonder how many petticoats she had beneath that flarin' skirt. . . Linda Copeland and Tweet Blakeney wore the fruits of a profitable hunting trip. Fur banded the edge of the skirt and the (Irop shoulderneckline of Linda's blue lame and also the skirt of Tweet's gown. . . 'Tis said that quite a few of the beauties were green-eyed over the rush that Ooomph Girl Lou Gilland received. If that's so, then there will be a lot of new green eyes around here, permanently. . . Jane Brunson looked sweet in white and Carol Cole of the gorgeous auburn hair was stunning in henna-rust chiffon with back fullness of moss and canary greens. . . And speaking of red heads, Betty Faulconer was mighty proud of Johnnie Crew's talisman roses that blended so well with her hair. She wore white satin, reminiscent of the dresses our grandmothers wore. . . Jean Snyder wore white net with bouffant skirt an(l just hundreds and hundreds of petticoats. Well, three, anyway... NORINE GETS POUNDED * Mrs. William A. Huey entertained with a drop-in before the dance in honor of the twenty-first birthday of her daughter Norine. Guests, among them Kappa D's and their dates, pronounced it "great" and man aged to perform the usual birthday ceremony, dealing 21 vigorous blows in honor of the occasion... ENGIJSH BROGUE EFFECTIVE 0 We are going to replace our "you all" and "sho nuff" with an Eng lish brogue. The sensation created by Isabella Wilson's English visitor, Vickie Lewis, is still the topic of conversation on the campus. She had a. date morning, noon and night, which is something even for Carolina. It got so bad, that we hear that Henry Zimmerman and Billy Taber came over and just sat up and listened to her... "Give me a ring sometime" has come true for a lot of the co-eds. First Virginia Webb sported a sparkler, then Helen Liles turned up with a Kappa Sigi ring from Georgia, and now Helen Wannamaker has accepted one from her Hamp and Pauline Womack has a sparkler from Edison. Catherine Toal is to be married... The ZTA's escorted the New Year in with a party in the sorority room. Since it was New Year's Eve, the girls didn't have to push their dates out at the five of eleven deadline. Oh, Joyl, . . . Pi KA's Tom Jolly, Ed Tiller, and Billy Douglas, and Molly Health and Tootsie Griffin went to.Florence Friday to see Bly Mayen, who is in the hospital there. . . Sunday the Chi O's are descending upon Marie Ulmer's house for a steak supper. The scene is Lake Murray, and if this Sunday is like the last, they'll probably go ice boating. . . At Mag Cain's debut, Ginny Ligon went really Old South i a hoop skirt, an exact copy of one that wvas worn by a belle in the days before "the Wahi". . . Mr. Smith isn't the only one who can go to \Vashington. Lula Mae Sutton did it too. 'We'll wvager that she had just as good time as Mr. Smith ever did. Among the people going places was Lois Ewart, wvho took in West Virginia and North Carolina; and Mary Mathis, who just got back from a vacation in Florida, wvhere she sawv the Orange Bowl game. (Which reminds me, have you heard the one about the girl who is like a grape fruit? You should, your grandmother and Bob Hope have.) HUMOR OF A SORT *Some cheery soul at the Phi Kappa Sig house announces that it is the "East Side of Heaven" when he answvers the phone. Hmimm.I Right now all the little angels are in the midst of plans for their big formal. , . The Silver-Magenta Ball, with banquet preceding, is to be held at the Jefferson Hotel, the night (naturally) of February 16. Harry Raymond and his Collegian orchestra will furnish the music for (ancing-and jitterbugging. . . The Pi KA's wish it known that every body got back safely from the holidays.. . Eleven transfers wvho were initiated into ADPi last week are: Ginny Ligon, Mary Barnwell, Ann Vaughan, Bessie Moore, Jean Moore, Emily Brown, Virginia Hodges, Serena Forman, Julia Peagram, Marion Wyman, and( Betty Withington. . ,Kappa Alpha's patriotism is coming to the fore again. They are planning a supper on January 19, in honor of Robert E. Lee's birthday... The P1i Kappa Phi's who are always playing "Ciribiribin" in swingtime, and their dates had a grand time on Monday night at a party at Billy Monckton's. Some have noticed that Shirley Henderson, who is a brand newv member, just seems to sort of shine all over since he has become a real hone1t to goodness member... Bob Carrigan spent the week end in Summerton and Fred Quinn went to Winthrop. Now we wonder whyll . . . The new officers of the Sigma Chi's are: Rufus Fellers, consul; Fred Halley, pro-consul; Sonny Draffin, treasurer, and Ed Whitmier.. . SON OF SIGMA NU BACK *The Signma Nu's, including the two new p)ledges, Hazel Dingle and Bill O'Hara, are welcoming home the chapter's mascot, "Son", a pooch of indeterminate ancestry. Clhi Omega chapter of Kappa Sigma has elected the following officers for the second semester: President, Tom McCutcheon of Bishopville; vice-president, Charles Campbell of Florence; secretary, Henry Herlot of Greenville; treasurer, Harold Jervey of Columbia; master of cere nmoniies, Robert Land of Aiken.

Thn Wed.I Cherubic Gift To USC Angels Gets Case Of Cold Feet In Pinch Modern Romeo, Foiled In Classroom, Becomes A Cronic Telephonic God's cherubic gift to Caro lina's womn, Ed Patterson, has a special interest in Psychology 31c-her name, Mary King. This feminine embodimnt of the Divine is Patterson's long sought answer to love. In fact Ed has been struck so hard that he has resorted to writing love notes to his lady fair-thereby proving how childish love makes the mind.. The fly in our little cherub's ointment is that some other fel low occupies the seat next to Miss King, while the best that "Pat" can do is behind and slightly to the right. A Campus Puck, who had to listen to "Pat's" moans and sighs long enough, and finally decided to take matters into his own hands. It was finally arranged, dur ing one class meeting, that Ed should change places with the "other fellow" the next time the class met. But, Alas and Alack, our hero was struck sud denly by that strange malady known as "cold feet". Do you remember that "Mus clin' In" remarked that the most delightful telephone voice of the week went to 23118? Just in case someone doesn't know, that number rings the phone in the home of Mary King. And Patterson gets cold feet after a statement like that. Maybe "Pat's" just a chronim telephonic.
