Pen Feathers By Jane Cox And so the draft and University studenis'joining with 911 others iht this,. our nation's big number game. And co-eds rushing to shelters, not with thoughts of saving their necks, but rather their curls, from the rain. Meanwhile, social activities of the week center around punk and 'pun kins'. But long after the greeks weary of the eerie-SAE will remain Carolina's ghost fraternity. Phi Sig's started the bones rattling Wednesday, with their awsquerade dance at the Trucking Grill on Gervais. Then last nite the Pi Kaps stomped the stairs of Sloan's with a ditto theme. Arrayed as formidable ghosts, witches, and spooks, the University Players club celebrated Halloween with a gala party Wednesday nite at Marie Ulmer's Lake Murray cottage, which is known as the Jack's Lan tern, all year round. "The Wishing Well," a play wriften by the Profes sor Chris was presented by the cast of Mary Crow, Polly Anne Wolfe, Bob Quinn, Edith Swartz, and Beverly Meade. ZTA pledges, probably glad of a chance to frighten their elders who have so often frightened them, gave out with a witch nite party for actives Thursday evening. And tomorrow, Pi KA's are planning'to gather in the Martha Wash ington tea room for a rousing time. (Probably the good lady Marthy nevver seen sech goings on as these will be.) And Sigma New includes a hay ride out to Lake Murr5y scheduled for the same evening. And at the end of the trail ghost riders will find hot dogs and all necessary deco rations to make for a hilarious evening. Several new-pinners are haunting fraternity meetings over the campus every Monday nite. KA Frank Bryant was recently initiated (into KA, of all things)-and incidentally (which means primarily) he still wears one fraternity pin, in spite of all reports to the contrary. The KD pledges who's story has been "continued in the next issue" since way back in September, are now "concluded". M. L. Gaudlock, Betty Wertz, and Virginia Bracey are now among the inner ranks. ATO's, self appointed gods of the greeks, are now ever so closely bound to D. Parker, Steve Nettles, and Tommy Gasque. And that is just this week, for they were taken in Tuesday nite, with a suitable party afterwards. AW Busbee, senatorial son and fourth year man of Pi Kappa Phi, finally make the gradel Tonite, barring obstacles, customary but as yet unforseen, there will be great celebration over, for and by the dude. Mood Williams, of the same brand, made it last week. And Sigma Chi's initiated four: John Nash, Carl Atkins, Bill Allen, and Wallace Evans. But that was after they had hauled in that new yard, as pledges. And that same garden makes the ATO'. nee the grass greener on the other side of the fence. Their neighbors of Sigma Chi, brick by pledge; beat them to it. And Wednesday after the rain, the hands of KA's across the court were out slinging mud over their yard. The Kappa Sigs, who have an artificial monopoly on oratory, ban, queted Tuesday nite, the pledges by the actives. And the DDD's( who've been playing hard to get in the news recently, got together, pledges and actives, in the room Monday after meeting for food and song. Here's a different active-pledge get together, worked out by Sigma N ta'safteroon, in a football game. Foreign footballs still attract though, and this week Organgeburg, with the Citadel-Wofford game, seems to be first choice. In fact, from re ports that come in, the stands should be pretty well decorated with the larger portion of the Carolina student body. However all is not pigskins this week end. Sarah Davies is going to the Davidson dances. And Fred Quinn is hosting all Pi Kaps who go to Charlotte for thenm. And with an eye toward the finer things in life, Ann Vaughn, Mary Barnwvell and Ginny Ligon will be at Spartanburg's As sembly Ball. And also spurning the games, Mag Cain, will carry the Medical Ball at Charleston. Meanwhile, Carolinians convention at Winthrop. This time it's a group of Y kids, hearing Dr. Crane, who spoke so effectively here a couple of years ago. "You Can't Go Home Again"-a sort of agreement betwveen the stu dents and Thomas Wolfe who used it as a title for his last boo0k.

A brunette from Alcolu, Emily is the only girl en rolled in the school of engineering. Emily's interests in watts where most girls prefer words is inherited from her father who is district man ager of the Rural Electrification Authority. For years she has tagged Mr. Keels through the plants and on his trips over the country. The only place she draws the line is climbing the poles. Not th-it she is afraid of hot wires and heights; she cimply doesn't trust the cleats that hold you up there. "I've seen too many people come flying down out of there. I'd rather keep a foot on the ground." But she does expect to follow a career in engineering after she fin ishes at the University. She believes that it's all too far in the future to make definite plans, but right now working wvith her father seems pret ty goodl. That's what she wvanted to do last Junie wvhen she finished high school, but her father insisted on more ,"formal schooling." Emily, who mnsists she's "not so smart," is taking chemistry, physics, trigonometry, mechanical dIrawing, algebra and English for the first semester. Out of this formidable schedule her chief worry is English, wvhich she tried to avoid. Three other girls have been regis tered in the engineering school since its opening. The only one to gradu ate was Ennie Kirven, who received her dlegree some years ago in Civil engineering, and went on to get her LLD. from the University Law School. The Jewel Box, Inc.

Carolina Co-eds Turn Knit-Witty By Sarah Flinn Carolina co-eds are turning out to be nothing but knit-wits! Instead of learning their ego-amo-te, they spend their time-in class-in chap el-anywhere-turning out grey matter, not the kind that is sup posed to fill the space above thc shoulders. This is the kind that wvarms the backs of soldiers "over there."

Sims College Girls Attack Activities Of Class Officers Wandering from the planned topic of student body constitution to the lack of class spirit at Caro lina, the girls in the Sims College discussion group Tuesday night were stirred to action after an hour's vigorous debate and resolved that individually they would investi gate and collectively they would act. In last week's group meeting the question had been asked, "What do class officers do?" When, after in vestigation, someone replied, "noth ing," the co-eds decided that answer should be changed. A co-ed from each class volun teered to see her class president and urge the calling of a class meeting in the near future, to discuss the problem further, and perhaps to de cide on a definite project for the year. These girls will report their results at the next meeting. To give the seniors more recog nition, they voted to advocate that senior marshals be appointed each year and serve officially (as ushers or otherwise as needed) at chapel programs and other student body functions. It was decided to suggest to the senior class president and President McKissick that the day on which senior scholarships and service awards are announced be set aside as Senior Day with chapel in Dray ton Hall and seniors wearing their caps and gowns. Also a representative from the group was appointed to see that VAA consider possibility of inter mural co-ed sports as well as inter sorority. Before the co-eds left the subject of the new constitution, which is under consideration of various of ficial committees, a resolution was passed that if the new constitution went into effect, it would be sug gested to the literary societies that & GetMore fun Sports, work, S Chew De DOUBLEMINT Alert college men and enioY the reireshinlg, re velvety smoothness .''

Chi Omega sorority is sponsoring the fifth benefit tea this afternoon. Bundles for Britain, Inc., allowed the University girls a quota of $50 worth of yarn for knitting sweaters and scarfs, .but the enthusiasm aroused resulted in a larger amount being distributed. Of the girls knit ting (about 70), 10 have finished their sweaters and about six have fin ished the scarfs, Lavinia Lyles, chair man of the committee, said. Anne Adams, the student in charge of rolling bandages, anounced that about 35 to 40 girls signed to aid Britain in this manner, but only about 15 have been able to come. In the three weeks of the program about 1,400 bandages have been completed. Betty Withington, chairman of the committee to make baby layettes, re vealed that the material has not ar rived yet for the girls to begin work. However, she expects to begin soon. These methods for Carolina to aid Britain only include those sponsored by University co-eds. Other ways are: the girls' football teams, a dance to be given, and a skit to be pre sented by the Y, of which Mary Crow has charge. student government representatives be elected immediately following that of the president. Trene LaBorde led the discussion.
