Withering News
By Jeanne Withers
THAT CHINK IS BACK
g Conitiscious or some such sage once said that all good things
snust come ta an end, and so now for one last time we sweep the scraps
together, give the editor back his typewriter, and stumble down those
*:-:$' dark steps. . . . for the last time. Our best thanks and curtsey to
old Pop Zuckerman and Duck Sweatman, who made this column pos
sible. Pop supplied the advice, Duck the lucre, and Coit the typewriter,
(or so he calls it).
* And still elections. Pi Pi's did theirs without politics. Margaret
Blackwell, Mary Free, Lib Hughes, Theresa Jackson, and to take care
of the pledges, Irene Gillespie. (The new watch she wears came from
the same place as the Sigma Nu pin.) The Pi Kaps: Fred Quinn, Jimmie
Merchant, and Olin Stiff. The Kappa Sigs don't seem to trust us any
more. They sent the news to Coit, and asked him to "Please" print it.
We'll fix 'em, by-heckl Officers: Mac Singletary, president; Frank
Bryant, vice-president; Henry Heriot, secretary; and Hal Jervey, treas
urer.
* * * * *
OFFICERS ELECTED, AD INFINITUM
* Exact quote from said letter is: "The jolly kids are planning a
house party at Pauley's beginning June 7 and lasting 10 days." Pip, pip,
old chap, what say? Sure hope the kiddies will enjoy themselves.
* The Sigma Chi's put some guys in office, too. Fred Holler, John
McMillan, Andy Rogers, and Ed Whitmire. The quiet Pikas looked
around and decided they couldn't do any better than: Bill Mayes, pres.;
Jim Mills, vice-pres.; Clark McCants, sec.; and Lewis Smith, treas.
* The pride of Reba Hunt, Dan S. Henderson of Columbia, is also
the most outstanding senior to his brothers, who elected him to said
honor and the Funderburke plaque.
* ADPI's Marian Ballenger, Lucille Crosby, and Inajean Claussen
took in their sister chapter's.formal at Duke, while another delegation
went to Georgia for the province convention. Frances Allison, Anna
Earl Beatty, Mary Barnwell, Polly Cely, Louise Efird, Dot Ehrlich, Ann
Heath, Marion Wyman, Ann Vaughan, Juliette Ridley, and Bessie Moors
all made the trek, leaving the boys who spend their time in the Pi room
to play that old game of solitare.
0 Lopey Adelyn Lipscomb had the tuteledge of Alice Marble's coach
while watch n' Alice play in Clinton.
* All wast)'t quiet as it could have been behind the scenes of the May
Coronation. We ain't sayin' nothin', but for further particulars, you
can see Patterson.
-* * * * *
GERMAN CLUB DOES SOMETHING
* After all the fuss the German club went about a new coat or arms,
we wonder what in the heck they are going to do with it. They could
use it for a new design on the members' red flannels.
0 The Sigma X's are stepping out in high society with their tea
trottings. They teacd the faculty at Pres. McKissick's home, and stand
ing in the receiving line were parlor pups: Bill Allen, John McMillan,
Ed Whitmire, Wallace Evans, Carl Atkins, and Andy Rodgers. The main
topic of small talk was Professor Bass's short wave activities, which
right now is keeping the campus on its toes. The Professor claims that
the news direct is so old that he's given up and will stick solely to
American rebroadcast.
* The best idea we've heard yet concerning this war business comes
from down lower-campus way, "Dutchy" Evatt. le sez that England
should hitch some of her ships to the island and pull it farther out in the
Atlantic 0.
0 At the picnic of Phi Sigs at the Legion Hit, the most popular girl
of the evening was Billy McGarity, who (ated Jack Reese. Mr. Reese
thought his little red book inadequate in this case and sought new la
terialI.
0 The next social event of the Phi Sigs will be their informal dance
on June 1, after the fury of exams. Beauty Queen McCants declares that
if the arguing doesi't stop, their (lance will come out with the Garnet
and Black.
O The Ala Phoo's hade their seniors farewell Wednesday night with a
ceremony in the sorority room, after which the members and their dates
went to Sesqui park on a hayride. Tl'he other Poo's, the AD's, went on
a hay ride to Lake Murray.
*The Delta Zeta's have a new pick up, the present of their pledges
at a surprise party.
* Chi Delta Phi, the national lit society on campus, elected officers.
Katherine Rector is p)residenit, Elizabeth Hughes, vice-president; Alice
Righam, secretary; and Blanche Gibbs, treasurer.
A FOND FAREWELL
* Tlhe last paraigraiph of this~ oftferinig colmes from thle hanids of Daniel
T. Henderson, mnay his soul rest in peace. Good bye.
* * * * *
* "And so wvit h a mountainous lump choking me, and( oceans of tears
llinimy eyes, I pass oni to my13 lucky successor a cohunni in a Tlechnical
sense that relieves the bored for a few minutes each Friday; but to mue
is the means of personally coiming in cotitact with cvery menmber of
the growving student body of this our University of South Carolinia; and(
making mc feel a part of Carolinia anid bringing close to me in the
realms of friendship ev'ery Univ'ersity and high schlool readher of the
Gamecock. Andl thus, with a feeling of sadhness hanging low over me,
I shut miy typewriter and( forever, imutch to my3 regret, cut off my coin
tact with the Gamecock readers.. I sincerely wish my successor at
this batteredl desk as pleasant a reign as I have enjoyed. As I leave
it is with the feeling that I ami departinig at the mioment of miy triumliph
and( with the sincere wishl that it will be againi my privilege to serve youi
in this way and pledge mlyself to do so whenever possible, if not as
competently, certainlhy as faithfully as anyone that will ever peck a
typlewri ter.
