Withering News
By Jeanne Withers
rIKA's FEED
The big event of the week comes off tonight as curtain raiser to the
Jr.-Sr. The PiKA's are throwing their annual Founder's Day feed, as
are other chapters, country wide. Soup and fish is the rule of the evening
at the Jefferson, with Words of wisdom and tribute being expounded by
W. P. Donelan, beneath trimmin's of the fraternity's colors, garnet and
gold. Saturday the same brothers will raise the proverbial "cain" at the
traditional Bowery Brawl. For seven years they have carried on, setting
some sort of record. Bet the real Boweryites would be surprised at the
Dixiites imitation.
0 More little greeks grew up this week and became the real things.
The 3 D's pinned the star and crescent on: Kate Park Johnson, Joan
Fayssoux, Nancy Murray, Eloise Foster, Kat Edgerton, Maxine Forbes,
Carol Cole, Katie Beaty, and Kitty Bird; the Phi Kappa Sigs approved
John Mullin, Ted Wingate, and Warren Leitner; and the ADPi's made
sisters of: Kathleen Arthur, Frances Allison, Mary Burgess. Sarah
Davies, Francis Harris, Juliet Ridley, Emily Wolfe.
The hunt is on again. The Phi Sigma Kappa's will be scrambling
over the terrain (consult Noah Webster) a we.ek tonight. But the K D's
are a jump ahead of them. They're out after the coons tomor-ow night.
Ben Wyman is taking Huck Babcock's place as chaser-out-of-the-tree.
but if he pushes us in puddles again this time, there ain't gon na he no
Wyman to climb trees.
* Where, oh, where, is "Goldbrick" Henderson, who littered up the
garret with that putrid trash he calls "poetry." Sez us. we'll read the
want ads.
MONEY MEN
0 The commerce fraternity is finally coming through. Before this
their news has gotten lost in the rush and scuffle, but we certainly will (10
them justice from now on. The pledge officers of Delta Sigma Pi -have
taken up their duties: Hubert Thomason, president; Ed Welch, vice
president; Bill King, secretary; Aubry Inabinet, treasurer. The newest
boys to be collared as pledges are: Hiram Scott, Perry Cartwright, and
Edison Lown.
0 Tenement 21 is spreading the rumors of a coming beer brawl. Hlev
vin knows when it will be, but from the looks of the preparations, it is
sure going to be a howling success. And speaking of howling, the law
students are growling that their night to howl is in the not too distant
future. The law grades finally appeared and provided Pete Blackwell
with quite a problem. His grades were not good enough to "celebrate"
in the good old way, and not bad enough to seek solace in another tradi
tional way. (To Pete's momma and daddy: Pete is being a "rale" good
boy, contrary to all other reports.)
0 Mks. John Mullin treated the Phi Kappa Sigs to a dinner party at
the Columbia last Saturday before the bouts and Tuesday Sarah lutto
of Eastover had pity on some of the poor Sims gals and fed them wild
turkey. Among the lucky ones were Lib Watson, Dot Rogers, Virginia
Dickman, and Audrey "AshEpoo" Marler.
The co-eds are out in force. Many would be surprised at the im
portant part they are taking in the political muck and ruck. This is the
first year for a concentrated action. Some are running for offices and
some have even been good enough to make berths on the machines.
0 The new king fishes of the Nit's (pun swiped from Hazel Dingle,
the personality kid) are: president, Stokes Randell; vice-president, John
Spigner; secretary, Nevin Betts; and treasurer (take notice, co-eds)
Bobby Browne.
0 To take part in the swiping of copy that goes on around this filthy
pl:wer, we scrib from sports editor McKinney the challenge to all comers
by the newest progeny of the Kappa Sigs, the "gal" team. Sez t}iey,
"We'll lickem allI" So common, frats, are you going to let them, get
away without a fight?
ATO's COME THROUGH
4 Hurrahl The ATO's have rewarded our long wait with a choice
item. Their formal and banquet comes two days before St. Pat's. Whee
wasn't that worth waiting for?
* The Sigma Nit's ah-e feting their dads at a father-son banquet at
liarvey's Monday. (Yes, we knowv that the dad's will foot the bill, but
it looks better the other way.) House mother Spalding is buusy cleaning
out the accumulation of "etc." "etc." "etc." in p)reparation for the visit of
the dads to the house afterward. May we say he has qtuite a job. Of
course you've all heard of ."Leavem-in-the-road" Reynolds. How 'bout it,
Ashepoo?
* The talk of house p)arties is in the air. Among the first to jumpl
the gtun are the Sigma Nu's and the ATO's.
* Thursday P. M. the ZTA's roasted (logs in the greenwvood at Leola
Garity's. Tomorrow the gals are slamming a bridge at the Coca-Cola
place on Main St. All you fiends who (lot the canteen, sorority and frat
houses, and benches on campus, how 'bout carrying yottr feutds to thte
tournament? For twenty-five pennies, "right this wvay, ladeez and gentle
meni. Only one fourth of a dollar, two bits", you can find an afternoon's
enjoyment.
* The PiPhi's are repledging Sara Rushton and Mary Simpson, to
day, who are mighty glad to be b)ack in the fold.
*Well, guess there's no neced to remindl you of the Jr.-Sr. tonite.

Mrls. McKissick's gamecocks start
ed us wondering about other people's
hobbies. The University of South
Carolina's Sims lall is filled with
girls with hobbies. The shelves in
each ro'oni are the homes of many
collections, ranging from mice to
elephants. One collector has 46 of
the latter-ivory, wood, celluloid,
glass, wool, chint, and composition
elephants.
By far the most popular animals.
if one can judge by these by col
lections, are horses and dogs--both
of which can be found in Sims in any
color and almost any size, ranging
from M an inch up. And if donkeys
can be considered horses from a col
lector's standpoint, by far the most
popular breed of horses is the long
eared donkey.
Glassware of all kinds is collected.
There are collections of cups, bottles
(liquor, wvine, and otherwise), and
cocktail muddlers. Glass of v'arious
kinds cani be found in almost every
room.
