-Chi -Omegc Pen Feathers By Jane Cox Now that you've got the hang of writing 1941 on your check. -and resolutions are just something adopted in a literary so ciety meeting-so time and the flu epidemic march on througl the campus, without the aid of ASPCA band music. Tonite the Chi 0 cuties re-open the social flutter with theil perennial fovmial, at the Jefferson. The date is also birthda3 of their president, Marie Ulmer. And speaking of birthdays, Margaret Blackwell, president of the Pi Phi's, and their only claim toward news this week has one tomorrow. And speaking of presidents, here's a couple new ones for the records. George Coleman, past prexy of the student body anc politics in general, now heads the list of officers of the joll3 boys of Kappa Sigma. Charlie Lawrimore was elected vice president, Luther McCutchen, secretary. And Lionelle Wells the Holly Hill flash, will have charge of the fusing of the funds. Pel Seignious will be their interfraternity councilman. The men of Pi Kappa Phi (who earned that Jack Cook re mark of mine all by theipselves and not, as several have sug gested, because of J. Wilson and ungarnished girlish jealousy) have named Shirley Henderson, president; David Murray i treasurer; ditto Fowler, secretary; Eugen (ia) Jones, historian. And Tommy Truluck is chaplain of the boys; Olin (Pug) Mc Donald warden. The Y party that the boys' cabinet gave the girls Wednes day evening brought out some of the most ungodly combina tions since modern art hit the aesthetics. A fair sprinkling of co-eds came in those knee-length hose, which is open admission to the suspicion of the rest of the campus that they were tacky. Ann Wolfe, as a woman from the wrong sides of the ever present tracks, and Tom McCutchen, as a Rabbi, took the prizes. And everyone left full and satisfied. It's kind of late to bring up holiday who-doings, but Tut Douglas (whom no one recognizes if you call her Katherine) spent the time in Cuba with her aunt and cousin. They cov ered the island from the back bay to the water front and rubbed against the unadulterated 'natives along the street to Sloppy Joe's. Word of several after-semester flings are making the rounds of fraternities and sororities. But right now everyone is look ing ahead to exams through a maze of parallel and politics. And toward next semester-when the Carolinian will appear again, the.grass will grow green in front of Sims manor, and the new library will not be labeled Danger Keep Out. But they say there's been too much hedging already. So it's thirty for Penfeathers and its single semester creator-who learned by experience that the crusades which columnists are credited with are more usually literary ruts. Sic transit gloria mundi!
