Withering News By Jeanne Withers The printer's dummy was really dumb last week. The "gal" team, as he called it, was the "golf" team of the Kappa Sigs, who will take on any and all comers. We have heard a lot of spluttering by the other fraternities, but so far, no one seems to be doing anything about it, and the Si 's are claiming the championship. e Visitors, visitors, and more visitors. From Atlanta Dental College came Willie Brockington, Morris Erlich, John Joseph, and Hick Harvin. It was not a professional visit, although they said they were looking over the ground (or mouths) for future material. The Sigma Chi's hosted William H. Ricks, national chapter advisor, Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Ricks has the distinction of having founded more Sigma Chi chap ters in the South than any other man. Another visitor on campus this week was Myron Nollinger, grand seceetary of Phi Kappa Sigma. l The ATO's came through againl This time there were whispers .of a house party this week-end at Bob Doster's onl Ocean Drive. There will probably be more than whispers when they come back. Visiting this week at the same house was Johnnie Vann, one of the big-wigs of the High Fraternity Council. The Sigma Chi's wishi he would conie often, they can hear their radio this week. 0 And speaking of house parties, Kappa Sigs, Max Singletary, Pel Seignious, Alex McArthur, Robert (better known as the "Jeep") Harper, Hal Jervey, and Louie Gilland, who is just added in) took their dates to Pauley's last Sunday. The brothers don't want to be left out of this house party talk, so, "watch out for the stupendous, gigantic, titanic, spectacular house party in June." (They are, it scents, firm believers in advance pu,blicity. But definitely.) 0 The lure of brass buttons and braid again calls the fens of Carolina to "The Citadel", (accent on last syllable, please), this week. By aii, land and sea they go, among them: Emily Wolfe, Mackey King, Mary Cecile Brabham, Edith Tinsley, Margie Russell, Martha Monteith, Sally Scarborough. * The Kappa Sigs are planning a "tacky" party. Gives N. Webster as meanings for "tacky": sticky; dowdy; something to do with a boat; sonething to do with sewing; a small nail; and, something to do with parlianentary usage. Sez us, take your pick. Your guess is as good as ours. 0 Before the PiKA banquet of last Friday, the actives welcomes as new members: George Little, Jim Galloway, Frank Smith, and D. L. Gibbs. The banquet was great, but ooli la la, the Bowery Brawl, (pardon ite, Ball) 11, And who was the belle? Molly Heath, the lady in red. The funniest thing we've seen yet was the appearance of dignified Pikas in false sideburns and mustaches, with checkered pants and derbies to complete the effect. 4 Today is another big Friday in Carolina life. Tonight at the Jefferson the SAE's dine and dance in honor of their Founder's Day. Under the colors of the brotherhood of the violet, the speaker of the evening, Fitz-Hugh McMaster, one of the co-founders of the fraternity, will be introduced by the master-of-ceremonies, Phil Cain, ex-president of the alumni association. Before the banquet, the purple and gold emblem of frat%rnity will be pinned on Robert Fant, Harrell Graham, Charles Holmes, William Horger, Derrill Jackson, Smith Pinick, James Ravenel, Christopher FitzSimons III (ahem), and Jimmie Moore. * It seems that the junior-senior law banquet plans have struck a snag. The lawyers are haggling among themselves for a change, on whether to have a barbecue or a formal banquet. It would be much easier to settle the quibbling by that old standby, "heads or tails". Who said the lawyers needed to participate in Carolina debating? They do all right with just "intra-mural sport". 0 Betty Boineau, one of the better whirling dervishes ott campus, won a. quart of champagne for her ability at a Caniden dance. Now site passes around the bottle to any one who will come to see her. It would be empty. * Excitement was the theie of the evening at the Snake Boy's pledge at John Spigner's party last Saturday. Car trouble furnished the amuse iment (?) thze greater part of the time. For the second time the local chapter of Sigma Niu has won the Gallagher Cup. This cup is. awarded to one of the ninety-eight chapters in the United States for superiority in scholarship. Applause is in order for the house that can be as social as the Sigma Nu's and still rate tops in scholarship. 0 The KA's are closing up house this week and moving to Presby terian College for the KA formal there this week-end. If they can't have a formal one place, they'll have it another. Two Kappa, not Alpha's but D)elta's, are also goinig to the college for the formal and the M il Ball the next night. 'rThe gals: Norine Huey and Linda Copeland. * The Phi Kappa Sigs wvere just as busy as little bees this week. Th'ley made plants for a party at Heiise's Pond tuomorrow night, but since the chairman anid the committee can't get together, they can't decide what kind of party it's to be. THF,I ed bunker received (quite a shock whent glitter gal Pud Fry deC clined his bid to the SAF, formal this week. HeI couldn't qluite realize that she had made other plans, but it seems that Pud will be the guest of a tall, <lark smoothie from Furmani at the KA house party. May we crib from.F,ditor Hendley, "nt'yahi, n'yah"? T 'he newest blood in the aninouncinig staff of stationi WCOS is John W. Crews. F.very afternoon his bell-like voice p)eels forth p)lugging for everything from aristocratic p)igs to OPO. We just hope that Johntnie's sense of humor never gets the best of hinm. * "De boids is on (Ie winig" anid so is the student body of Carolina. Polly Leonard is at D)avidson this wveek. Next week David Fulmer (pdpular boy) is going on a house ptarty' at Myrtle Beach. Tlhose two will-o-the-whisps, Jim Mulford anid Perry Cartwright took off for Rani dlollph-Macon in Virginia last week. If they keep it uip, we'll never htave to worry about niews for the columnt, they're always upl to something. Doris Nash spent last wveek-end with Jane Cox in St. Matthews. Lil Brunson trekked over to the great city of Orantgebutrg. (Isn't it David Aiken?). Joan Fayssoux wvas so excited over goitng to Margaret West moreland's for the wveek that sihe started to get ready WVednesdlay. She gave everyotne whlo went wvith her, the "heebie jeebies". An ADPi foursome is also on the go: Mary Elise Livingston to Parolet, S. C.; Julia Pegram saw another bride walk dIowtn the aisle at home last week; Adeline Lipscomb wetnt to Charleston Tuesday; atnd Louise Efird is going to Charlotte, N. C., niext Tuesday. * Monday night Artie Spitz* -- * gave forth with his Phi Sig Bits a Ia Winchell, at the Parent's Ban quet. Some say it lacked its usual quite a bit of revisioni. Tonite is the treasure hunt. It start at the Sttu (lent Union Lobby aind ends tip hevnknows where. I doubt if theTH CIA E conimiittee does.
