Pen Feathers By Jane Cox "There're many ways of doing things, a casual glance disclosee-Some folks turn up their sleeves at work; and some turn up their noses." A red haired Ohio harvester in overalls quoted that to me once twelve years ago. Probably he had never heard of histology and analytics. But after noting mid-semester reactions over the campus, I'd say he had the right idea. And then, in all good pigskin circles, the co-ed football game last Friday is still good for five minutes in any conversation. The lone touchdown trotter, Doris Nash, received one fan letter from Annapolis, which challenged the Pi Phi's to a contest with the mid-shipmen. Im mediately and unanimously the co-eds voted to change the game from touch to clutch, with no holds barred. Peggy Bailey, the one-quarter tackle, is still in the infirmary,-and well-meaning friends continue to supplement "bulges for Bailey" by frequent gifts of ice cream and candy. But pity the poor Greenvillains this week endl Every student with a greek brother or sister, or a friend of one, within the city will be mobbed by bed requests. The Pi Kaps are barging in upon their upstate brothers for some kind of big party at Wofford Friday nite. Those still able to move on will be at the Carolina-Furman game Saturday. And a group of Converse has-beens are going alumning over in Spartanburg after the game., They are Sally Nichols, Margaret Os bourne, and Polly Leanord; and along with them are ML Doty, and Lil Boulware. In fact from all reports... and there have been many of them... most of Carolina will be at Furman. Except KP Johnston who expects to week-end in Marion, and Bessie King and Betty Barr who will be off to the Georgetown Cotillion. Then Lou Gilland and Frances Simpson are going to the Blue Key formal at P. C. And Margie Russell and Hattie Perkins are both dating in Duke over the week end for the Duke-NC State game. So to the realm of cork-tipped cigarettes and coon-skin coats-Ann Vaughn, the Richmond glamouree who never entirely wears the coat she has on, went to Princeton for the Dartmouth game last week end. Jane Wylly went just as far in the opposite direction and landed in s St. Augustine. And Kitty Bird, Mildred Plate and Emily Johnson were at the Citadel dances ... along with lots of others who for once, and for one reason or another, are shunning publicity. Out at the Veterans' Hospital the Fritz Turners (Billie Coffee) are displaying a little red faced bundle by the name of Mike. He has the usual rotund proportions and grabs your finger and looks just like his mother and father. And his mother and father look very proud. On Monday, which is November 18, the triple D girls celebrate with a Foundcrs' day batquet done up in style at the Columbia hotel. Sigma Chi's payed tribute to their founders this Monday nite when they banqueted at Harvey's. Larry Gall was the master of ceremonies. And the new-Knox's (Marion and Rachel Spivey) were both in old a stomping grounds that nite... Marion at the banquet, Rachel at the bi-weekly supper in the Chi 0 room. Those Chii 0's-with an eye toward funds and the coming formal held a bridge tourney .Thursday afternoon in the Coca Cola Bottling Company's recreational center. There were over thirty tables set up .. . and twenty prizes! Speaking of formals, the Chi 0 one will be on January 10, which is the birthday of Chi 0 president Marie Ulmer. The DDD's have theirs scheduled for February 14, the day of hearts. And Pi Phi's will have theirs on Friday the thirteenth of December. I The Phi Kaps had a Party of Mugs Thursday on the Trenholm Road golf course. And the Sigma Nu's, who are almost synonomous with "news" are skating together Tuesday at Twini Lakes. Miss Dorothy Gibbons, national field secretary of 2TA is coming to visit the local chapter Sunday. She will stay until Wednesday, and during that time they'll have model pledging and initiation. And finally a dance at Sloans Tuesday nite in honor of the new initiates. Then the Delta Z's are giving a dog roasting at the Knox farm Tues day, for rushees. But no doubt there will be no law against the girls themselves enjoying the party as much as any newster there. And so on to Miami! Be sure to do your Miami ticket-shopping early and avoid the rush. Reservations for the special train of Carolina stu dents and friends are now on sale for $8.00. See either Joe Patrone or Kit FitzSimmons! 'U DEPENDABLE SERVICE s.

One re port, which had been introduced in the General Y meeting preceding the rception, was that this week is being observed as a week of prayer by the YWCA's of 52 countries. Thanksgiving Baskets As a climax for this special week, the sophomore Y will conduct the Naval Socie Officers In F Dick Jefferies was elected president of the Compass and Chart Society at its organizing meeting November 1. The club is composed of all members of the Naval ROTC unit of the Uni versity. Other new officers are McIver Ri ley, vice-president; Bill Horger, sec retary; and Clarence Little, treasurer. The purpose for founding this so ciety is to promote and manage the social and other activities which are not of a purely military nature. Plans have been arranged to fur nish and maintain a club reading and lounging room in the gymnasium upon the completion of the extensive alterations which are being under taken by the University for adopt ing this building for the Naval unit. This lounging room will be sup plied with Naval periodicals and books on Naval history and sciences. It will be decorated in a nautical manner. The society intends to have a series of lectures on matters interesting to the naval groups and to promote dis cussion groups among its members.

FOR THOSE Thanksgiving Flowers - REMEMBER -- SLIGH'S FLORIST SHOP ColunMa "A GOOD E1323 TAYLOR STREET For World Fellowship Is Theme Of Co-ed Discussion Group Tying in with the world Fellow ship program which is in full swing on the Carolina campus this week, the Co-ed discussion groups Tuesday night had as their theme "What can we do to make world fellowship pos sible?" Sims college girls heard Reverend Charles Seymour, associated pastor of Trinity Episcopal church in Colum bia; and Mrs. Arnie.Childs, dean of women, led the discussion in Wade Ilampton college. After describing how experiences with negroes, mountaineers, and Jap anese helped to form his ideas on world fellowship, Reverend Seymour opened the discussion by stating his war viewpoint, militarism, and then asked for argument. It came. The rest of the hour was spent in argu ing for and against militarism and pacifism. The only conclusion reached was that Christians must work now for peace that some day must come! In her discussion, Mrs. Childs be gan by asking "Is world fellowship possible ?" She then, with discus sion by the girls, rounded up a list of do's and don't's for Americans dtiring this war. Included in the don't list were: hate people-Germans in cluded ; or judge others. It is in groups like this that world fellowship starts and we must believe in it before we can be active in furthering world fellowship, she con cluded. AKG Dance Classes Are Well Received C'mon, chillun, les dance! And thiS isn't Kay Kyser speaking. Don't you recognize those Alpha Kappa Gamma jive teachers? Why!

Those are the students of the Alpha Kappa Gamma dancing class which i: frolicked every Thursday afternoon. Amazingly as yet, we have seer very few AKG girls (besides Pi Phi: and Tri Delts) limping around-sc evidently toes are still intact. Th< teachers say their students are nc heels and are learning to toe th mark quickly. One extremely sue cessful coach says her motto i: "Think of the victory, not dlefeat." Incidlentally, dancers beside AKG': are wantedl for teachitng. Andl ne matter waltz-wrong with your danc ing, these ladies will get you into th< swing of things.
