"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!

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!
As one walks across the campus, be
sides seeing the lounging lovers, frac
tured football femmes and the serious
students-anyway besides seeing thes<
familiar figures, haven't you notice(
the here-to-fore calm Carolinian
trucking into classes and swinging
down to the wall!
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. This is one clas:
you won't want to skip, so skip along
next-.

Delegates to the state Y conference
at Adger, several weeks ago spoke
at the General Y meeting last week
on what they got out of the discus
sion groups.
Speaking of campus problems, Peg
gy Bailey said most of the problems
discussed were not apparent at Caro
lina. On the subject of men and
women relationships which she re
marked, "is always interesting,"
Sarah Flinn told of some of the de
oisions reached in the group she at
tended. Among them were: kiss
ing isn't wrong if one is sincere; I-vc
at first sight is possible but lvng
friendships before marriage are de
sirable.
At the freshman YW meeting yes
terday afternoon, plans were discussed
for a banquet to be held Tuesday
after holidays with only freshman
girls and freshman advisors attend
ing.
Lil Dowling, librarian of the Y,
has announczd the opening of the
Y\WCA library in Wade Hampton
College basement. It consists of re
ligious books which may be used by
both boys and girls of the campus.
An honor system will be practiced
whereby students may sign for their
own books. Any books contributed
to the Y library would be greatly ap
preciated.
Elizabeth Bird, treasurer, revealed
today that letters will be sent to the
602 girls enrolled at the University,
telling them about the Y finance cam
paign. Each co-ed will be told that
she may pledge something. Assist
ing her will be Jane Crum, treasurer

approximately $150 for the fund.
Two-thirds of this total was raised
by a tea dance, and the high teas
given by sororities, supervised by the
