Withering News By Jeanne Withers -"Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what the little girls on the Gamecock staff are made of," but oh, boy, are some of the boys ... SWEET NOTHINGS And so with this, we start our sweet nothings. * Sattiday, tomorrow, Pud Fry will hold forth as host to the "hardest to-crash-on-campus-club", Beaux Arts, at her home in Augusta, for their regular meeting. Some of the DZ's toured the country last week-end. Ida Huiet went ito Atlanta, Lois Ewart, visited Brenau, and Nell Berry traveled up to Charlotte, while Louise Quattlebaum went to Duke. ADPi's Ann Heath "had a wonderful time" on a Duke house party at Myrtle. e Mary Simpson, Frances Payton, Polly McKenzie, Jim Hope, and Crayton Simpson cheered the nags on at Belvidere races. Those lapel gadgets that the boys from Citadel gave their dates at the senior hop are mighty nifty and we salute them for good style sense. Ann Heath, Virginia Ligon, Gene Eve, Mag Cain, and Lib Hughes are wearing them right proudly. Delegates are flying around all over the place. Grace Kilgore, new madame pres. of the Y, will represent that organization at the national convention in Atlantic City. David Aiken and Jimmie Simpson trekked up to Greenville to have the say for the local chapter at the regional con vention. KA pledge Ingrim, guest from Alabama, beat his own fraternity brother's time when he spirited Yeg Hendrickson, away from local pledge Frank Bryant. Frank's pretty busy with his soon-to-be initiation, but that didn't keep him from being pretty riled. * Two of the enrollment of G. W. C., as the gals still call it, Ann Rutledge and Marion Duncan, stopped over to see Elinor Brand last week end. To Elinor goes our nomination for "most politiced girl on campus." Or was Elinor doing the politicing? JANE COX PLEASE NOTE 0 All we can say to Jane Cox is, "They don't come any better. You have been swell. We hope that all is 0. K. and that you'll soon be'back." COMMERCE BOYS RAISE - - The entire population of the Delta Sigma Pi house evacuated to Georgia for the southeastern conclave. From the sounds of the shouts of anticipation, they weren't going to let the business interfere with pleasure. And while we're on the subject of commerce, if we hadn't seen "Buzzard" Busbee get that combination of black eye and broken nose in a basketball game, we wouldn't have believed him. As it is, we say we lie. * Ann Vaughn, Frank Bryant, (the Kappa Sig), and John Lyon also looked over the horseflesh and placed their money at the Belvedere races. Ethel Rhodes and Amelia Arthur stuck up their noses and took the polo matches at Camden instead, with all the Yankees. 0 Ollie McCord and sonic of the Beat girls visited Virginia Dickman and Lil Dowling last week end. S'funny how many Carolina males were seen dragging the little gals around, and how many of the Carolina co-eds sat home while the boys gallivanted at the dance. * Three happy brides, Mrs. H. H. Cullen, Jr. (Helen Wannamaker), Mrs. Dan Dukes, (Sarah Robson), and Mrs. Edison Fairy, (Pauline Womack) were the reason for the screeches and screams that went through the sorority room last week. They surprised the girls when they dropped in to say "hello" after a long absence. 0 Jimmie Glover was so flustered when Dixie Dunbar walked into Jacqueline Slipper Shop, that he could hardly fit the shoe on her foot. Course there isn't much foot to fit, but Jimmie had stage fright. 0 Pi Kaps, Fred Quinn, Bill Carrigan, Ray Davis, Paul Chapman and their dates from Winthrop, had a real old fashioned home cooked din ner Sunday at Fred's house. They really made up for lost time. Said Chappy, "Well, now I can last until June." 0 "Doodle" Brown, top campus politicin, is responsible for the sign that decorated the third floor east of Sims. Says John Crews, "Best gag of the year." For the benefit of those who missed it, it was NOT "For b Rumor has it that old smoothie Ed Bunker caters to his public as he airs his Uncle Mickie program over a local station. Said Bunker is "Unkie Mickie" to the younger generation. * The Phi Sigs are going about spreading good wvill towvard the het ter half of the population on the campus. They are honoring the co-eds with a banquet at the Rice House. I'resent will be the president and vice p)resident of each sorority and two non-sorority girls, and Elliott "May queen" McCants. 0 The new officers of the DZ's are: Lois Ewart, president; Martha Smith, vice-president; Celeste Hersey, corresponding secretary; and Nell Berry recording secretary. It got sorta lost in all the scuffle of campus politics. MORE TRAVEL * John McGowan took David Fowler down in the country to Tinm monsville last wveek end. This week end, Ina Jean Claussen and Marion Ballinger travel up to Chapel Hill. And while they're gone, the Chi Omega's entertain guests from five states at their district convention. One Chi O is rumored to have said, quote, "If you vote right, you can come to our dance." * Official notice It has been changed from "Stinky" O'hara to "Bed bug" O'Hara. It may not stay that way long though, because Ethel Rhodes objects. * Ole Oscar Wiley, trouble in person,. and Henry Crum are the latest additions to the KA's. And the most ap)propriate name yet is that of "Stumpy" Lemond, housemother. * The neatest bit of hardware yet is Jimmie Wilson's gavel, presented him by the fraternity for his swell job as president of the Pi Kaps. He has an excuse to twirl his key chain in politicing, which is so dear to his heart. PHI KAPPA SIGS SCORE BEAT * FlashI Bangl Whizl The opening event at the 'Wade HIamp)ton from the university will be May 3, when the Phi Kappa Sigs throwv their formal.

They gathered on the back porch to finish up the punch with an accompaniment of "Ole Black Joe" and other negro spirituals. "It was great", is about the hest description of the affair.
