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.

Lassies To Rock
To Rhythms Of
Citadel Bulldogs
Despite popular superstition re
garding the "unlucky thirteenth", the
lassies of Pi Beta Phi and their es
corts will swing to the music of Jim
Albritton and his Citadel "Bulldogs"
orchestra from 9:00 'till 1 :00 tonight
in the newly decorated Columbia Ho
tel ballroom.
LMargaret Blackwell, president, will
lead the grand march with her date,
A. C. Lvles. Other officers and their
(ates are: Mary Free, vice-president
with Paul Sansbury; Elizabeth
Ilughes, recording secretary with
John Farmer of Anderson and Co
lumbia; Lillian Dowling, correspond
ing secretary with Bobby Oliveros of
the Citadel; Theresa Jackson, treas
urer with Jesse Jackson; and Irene
Gillespie, pledge supervisor, with Bill
Norton of Marion. The officers will
carry arm bouquets of wine carna
tions, their sorority flower, during
the grand march.
The ballroom will be a wonderland
of smilax and evergreens, with giant
sorority coats-of-arms adorning the
walls. A large, lighted, silver-blue
arrow, the chapter emblem, will be
suspended above the orchestra stand.
There are to be three no-breaks
during the evening. The main event,
however, will be the special Pi' Phi
no-break to be danced to the tune
of "Aiy Pi Phi Girl". At thik time
each girl will be presented a tiny il
luminated wine and blue-silver ar
row. All other lights will be ex
tinguished and the scene of the col
orful arrows floating rhythmically
about should be quite impressive.
