Pie leathers BY JANE COX The society page: clippings for a sorority scrap book... something to wrap shoes in when you're packing for the week end... something to stand on when the bath mat is at the laundry. In fact some homes don't have bath mats any more. Since little Nell came to the University, the page has replaced them entirely. But an occasional co-ed reads it and hears that: After letting the fraternities entertain their pledges for a couple weeks, the girls are all having their annual introductory dances. AD Pi got off in the lead by having the first sorority dance of the semester, on Wednesday, when they presented their fledglings for campus approval. Among them was Marjorie McSweeny, answer to a rush captain's prayer, who has the looks and personality of a. Sheridan, several talents, and a record for passing class work. Pi Phi pledges will stalk the stag line Monday nite at Ridgewood. And before the dance there'll be a drop-in at the club room for all menv bers and their dates. The Cho O's will have their fling on October 3 at Sloans, The Delta Zeta's on the twelfth nite, in their sorority room, and the .Z. T. A's will wait until Thanksgiving. Tri Delts will make their official bows to Carolina and the canteen society next Friday. The Tri Delts gathered en masse in the chapter room after the meeting Monday for the annual pledge performances. Each new pledge came before the assembled group and gave forth with her particular talent. And to Sara Flinn goes honors for turning the tables on the activities with her cute little ditty and much self-possession. Sigma Delta is feting the new pledges at a Columbia hotel banquet Sunday evening. Bids were sent to prospective members yesterday, since this group does not rush during that hectic week. Big and little sisters of K D ate supper together Wednesday at Bihari's; and that same afternoon the Z T A's had a get-acquainted gathering in their room for new girls on the campus. Tomorrow they're planning a spend the nite affair on Lake Murray, for Zetas old and new Sorority big little shots: Pledge officers of Pi Phi are Irene Gordon, president; 'Polly Anne Wolfe, vice president; Betts Gawler, secretary; Hasel Sanders, treasurer. In K D its Frances Simpson, president; Lou Gilliand, vice president; Lil Hair, secretary; and Barbara Ballentine, treasurer. TA youngsters selected Mable Flitter, Esther Webster, Doris Duffy, and Mildred Plate for officers. Tri Delts selected Mary Dana, Lib Adams, Helen Walker, and Betty Marshall, Chi O's Peggy Horton, Frances Hurley, Virginia Cox, Irl Marjorie Jones. And with Delta Zetas, Marguerite Tice is president, Martha Wright holds the double office of vice president and treasurer, and Martha Bass is secretary. NOW FOR FRAT FLINGS All Carolina men are created free and equal... and disclaim all ties to these unalienable rights at the close of fraternity rush week. So this week with 91 boys eligible to give out pledge pins to the sweetest 91 girls they know.. .most fraternities report a week of relaxation. Only the Sigaiias Nu aad Chi seem to be socially among us this week. Sigma Nu had a pledge banquet after the ceremony Monday nite. Sigma Chi gave a ruslf dance Saturday...semi formal.. .which means f'ormal for the girls and semi for the boys. VIRGIN-ETTES Jean Withers, Ohio K D who wrote in this space last semester, is schooling in Florida now. Her family has moved there. Elinor Brand, Virginia Dickman, Jean Brunson and Polly Anne (I can't get Indiana off my mind) Wolfe are all going home to Florence this week end, and among them they'll entertain Doris Nash, Dot Parke, and Marion Wilder. And "Scroochie" Crouch is having Mary Free, Nancy Padgett and Clifton Strohecker as week end guests in Hartsville. And also weekending en masses will be the Charleston gang, Ann Adger, Lee Webb, Beverly Clover. And their guests Betty Faulconer and Jean Ferrell. Erna Werters and Betty Bain are going down Sunday for the day. Edythe Ford is taking Tut Douglas to Loris with her this week end and Ann Welch and Mildred Wilson are going to Clemson for the game with Wofford and the resulting dance. Frances Simpson, Lou Gilliand, Emily Brown and Sara Morrison were among the local talent representing the University at P C last week end. And speaking of local talent, Jean Brunson is sending that song she wrote, "Blue Day" to T. Dorsey, for the weekly song contest. CHEER LEADER TRYOUTS WERE HELD Varsity cheerleaders have selected nine Biddy boosters. They plan to use five a quarter during the games, and Bobby Blakley, chief cheerer, will be there during the whole game. The girls are Marjorie McSweeny, Hasel Sanders, Peggy Forbes, .Sara Flinn; the boys, Frances Collins, Sam Roach, Buck Young, and Robert Pulliam. And thus goes the second week of classes.. .time to annex the annual male.. .time to classify the freshman and transfer.. .time for all upper classmen to sell last year's books.. .time for the professors to drop the last unharrassed golf balls.. .time to have your picture made for the Garnet and Black if you want the blessing of the staff.

Rion Mc Kissick speak in the chapel Tues day afternoon, Carolina girls unan imously agreed to volunteer their services to aid British soldiers. The meeting of the Co-ed Associa tion was called by Maude B. Chisholm, president. Mrs. McKissick explained the ways that co-eds may cooperate with the Red Cross and the Bundles for Britain organization. She sug gested knitting, rolling bandages, or making baby layettes. To raise money for these groups, the Y. W. C. A. will present a skit, of which Mary Crow is in charge. Then the Co-ed association will sponsor a girl break dance. Sally Nichols, chairman of the dance committee, will announce the plans later. The chairman of the knitting committee is Jane Crum; of the baby layettes committee, Betty Withington. Since the machines for rolling bandages are scarce, Mrs. Mc Kissick suggested that Carolina girls send a petition to Washington asking for more in Columbia. Co lumbia is one of the few cities of the South allotted the rollers, but there are not enough available to meet the demands of the enthu siasts of the plan. Peggy Bailey was appointed chairman of the committee to deco rate the Co-ed float for the Home coming parade, Oct. 5. Officers of the association will ride on the float. The girls asked to serve at the Homecoming reception are Nell Berry, Emily Brown, Marie Ulmer, Peggy Bailey, Lib Watson, Linda Copeland, and Eleanor Flinn.

Lavina Lyles, chairman of the discussion com mittee of the Y cabinet, announced that the theme is "Problems of student government on the Univer sity campus." The object of the plan is to de termine whether our students are having their rights increased or de creased. All angles of the consti tution and extra curricula activities will be analyzed. There will be a discussion group for each floor of Simms hall, for Wade Hampton College, and for the town girls. No formal leader will be chosen, but certain girls will be asked to present the plans and direct the discussions. Among the first questions to be presented are: How much partici pation in government of University do students have? What activities are completely controlled by stu dents? How well are students ad ministering these? "I think we can make it a very constructive program," Lavinia Lyles said today. The need arose from the many arguments on the campus as to the deficiency of stu dent participation in school govern ment. In chapel program, Sept. 19, President J. Rion McKissick stressed the importance of this phase of school life, saying that he intended that we should have more cooperation of students in school management.
