Pen Feathers By Jane Cox Maybe there ain't no Santy Clause, but Assorted. Pi K. A.'s and their likewise assorted dates will celebrate in short pants and skirts tommorrow nite as they used to do. Tiey're planning a kiddie party in the University high school, and Dan Gibbes, the ageless, will act as old maid school teacher. 4 Sigma Chi's will induce the true spirit of Christmas into their party at Sloan's Studio, Monday nite. There'll'be a tree, and the customary gift exchange, but as yet there ain't no S. Clause. And the Pi Phi girls will hadl in the greens for a party in the chapter room Monday nite. Again, there will be the customary artistic drawing of names and gift exchange. Then Wednesday the ever active Delta Sigma Pi's will take their pledges and rushees out to Lake Murray fo- a seasonal celebration. Reports of two annual Christmas parties are out. The Tri Delts will give their "pine party". The pine it seems is a part of their emblem, so perhaps there is some connection with the ceremony. (The three pointed object commonly known as a pitch fork is also a part of their emblem.) And the Sigma Nu'ers will congregate Sunday from early to late at Bob Smith's place on the Lake. After sundown there'll be supper and finally the special Christmas tree feature. G.-Deigo Tony, Son of a Beach-Patton will be Santy. It'll be E8qzire'8 closest poetical competition of the year. ATO's partied early, and yet within season, when pledges gave the actives another memorable evening at Lake Murray, last Tuesday. And the dapper darlings of fortune and their dates took this evening of wreckreation much the same as usual. Before the holidays get under way, four girls are scheduled to become DDD sisters under the pin. Mary Dana, Elizabeth Adams, Helen Walker and Emily Johnson will be awarded their Trident degree Sunday, and Monday nite thei'll take the final steps. Doug Jennings took all KA vows (and I mean all) last Tues day. And Jack Cook, who looks like he should have known better, has pledged his faith to Pi Kappa Phi. Delta sigma Pi's officers for first semester of the year. Rod Turnbull is president, Harold Moore, vice-president, Jim my Reynolds, secretary, and Henry Jolnes (it looks like that, but you can't be sure when you're getting 'it from Blanch's writing) is guardian of the funds. Christmas shopping suggestions and their fulfillments at a premium were sold in the Pi Plhi room the first of the week. All the articles were sent from the Settlement School which the sorority supports in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Everything was hand made and doubly dear because of it. But the entire proceeds go back to the school to educate the children of the mountains (who probably want education more than we do, at that). There's blessed little news of weekendings this time. Of course, Emily Wolfe is going to Clemson. And Marion Bal longer and Lucille Crosby, the stoic, are going to Brenau for Christmas open house. But aill in all it looks like the campus will be pretty lively for a change. For those of you who are always re-hashing the game, there'll be football p)ictures next Wednesday evening before the basket ball game. The reels will show the Wake Forest and Citadel gamnes and all fans can dlecide once and for all just howv they'd have played it if they'd been in there. The Block C Club, which is always looking for something to (do, is sponsoring it. And this is positively the last wordl of the year about football. And the-last word of the~week about anything.

Merit Of Mission Discussed By "Y" By a general informal discussion of the merits of the Christian Ser vice mission, the members of the Y cabinet All decided Wednesday in Sims College that it was an inspira tional week that will keep pupils thinking for a long time.6 Elizabeth Bird atd Dink Gaines led the group. Among the questions which at tracted attention iast weck and were again revealed to the cabinet we're the faculty student relations, and the lack of student government at Caro lina. At the finial analysis, it . was dlecided( that both could be greatly improved if the students approached the subjects wvholeheartedly and with the cooperation of the faculty. The decision seemed to be that the stu dents themselves should formulate and obtain the responsibility of self government. The accomplishments of the pianel discussion during the Mission were enumerated. That it incited much con fusion and consequently individ ual thinking wvas the opinion of sonme. Another point was that it afforded an excellent relaxation between the for mal speeches. At the conclusion of the meeting, the cabinet all favored the annual program of giving a Christmas party at the Carolina Orphan I lome before the University holidays. Verse Speaking Choir Gives Musical Poetry Christmas spirit floated through Drayton Hall on the wvaves of the musical poetry which 15 members of the Verse Speaking Choir, headed by Florence Robbins, spoke at this year's first program, Tuesday night. Christmas poems, both wvell-known and unfamiliar, made up the entire program. Persons in the audience comimentedl on the musical tones cre ated by the differently pitched voices.

All other lights will be ex tinguished and the scene of the col orful arrows floating rhythmically about should be quite impressive.
