The illustrious SAE's threw a gay one Saturday night at Senator Hammond's... A stag banquet Wednesday night at Harvey's was of the best say the attending Delta Sigma Pi's. . . The Phi Epsilon Pi's initiated Alvin Levkoff recently, and people are still talking about the smoker and card dance they had for rush week. . . personally, I wish somebody else wnuld have a smoker. They cou-nd werry mysterious and interesting and it gets dull writing about nothing but picnics and suppers and things I have to just call "parties" in order to pass the censor. . . the KA's are already making plans for their inimitable tea-dance .after the Clemson game.

Yea teaml. . . the ADPi actives, pledges and alumnae supped together in the sorority room Mon day. . . and the Chi O's are planning for their Eleusinian which ik an annual function meaning something you don't know unless you're a Chi 0, but, anyhow it will be next Monday and will involve a banquet and other interesting.features. . . the KD's partied last Sunday night in honoi of Lil Bollin and Flossie Claussen who left recently for New York tc study art. . . and they will again party this Sunday at when the pledges will fItc the actives. . . the Tri-Delt pledges teaed pledges of othei sororities yesterday afternoon in their room. * Superlatives . . . If anybody on this campus knows more people by name and always greets 'em like it was election day and he was a politician, then I'll ad< his name to Vernon Sloan's as the friendliest person I know. Jan< Brooks Marshall runs him a close second. Isn't it gratifying that neithel one of them has ever run for a campus office?. . . and absolutely th< busiest--and the least appreciated is Mrs. Dugan on the telephone ex change. . . And the worst mixer-upper, don't you agree, is Dr. Sherril whose questions always have six possible answers. . . and then he telbm you the seventh and correct one along with one of his original (an< funny haha) quips. .. and the bottom of the list of people I send Christ mas cards is that professor who gives you a half-cut when you sneal, in three seconds after the second bell, and then talks till four and a hal: minutes after the hour.

Childs, dean of women. This course, ar ranged by the University in conjunc tion with the Columbia Hospital, re sembles those now being conducted by leading universities and colleges in the United States. The course requires two full years at the University followed by the reg ular three year's training required in the Columbia Hospital's school of nursing. Upon the completion of this five year course, the University con fers a degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and the student -obtains her diploma from the hospital and the title of Registered Nurse. Sixteen students are enrolled in the University school of nursing. They will follow a special curriculum which emphasizes the sciences. When they have completed their courses at the University and at the hospital, they will have the advantage of qualifying for positions such as instructors, floor supervisors and others which re quire more than just hospital train ing. Rigid college and hospital standards are necessary in order to offer the course. The University course is the standard course accepted by the American Council on Nursing Edu cation. Mrs. Childs said that this new pro gram has no finaina1 backing from the government nor is it designed especially to meet war demands. It has been created simply to raise the standards of the nursing profession. A second program, created for war emergency was begun last year and is being continued at the University this year, though on a somewhat dif ferent plan. The University last year housed and instructed 25 girls each semester. After the one semester course was completed, they wet directly to the hospital for nurse's training. This year only instruction is of fered by the University, with the professors teaching in the hospital classrooms. No nursing classes in this program are held on the campus. This plan is purely a war venture. designed to allow the hospital to turn out more nurses quickly. It is en tirely backed by the government and no University credit toward a degree can be received on the courses. Barn Party Held For Methodists Ginghams and overalls will be donned this Friday night at 8 o'clock for a barn party at the Washington Street Methodist church.

No applicant under sixteen years of age will be admitted to the Uni versity Work USC Coeds Show] Influence Of War 1y Soldier Photos By Helen Hedden There's a war on. Planes in the air and troops on the ground testify to that. But if Rip van Winkle were to wake up on the campus of the University of South Carolina, he a could find out the state of things without seeing a newspaper or hear ing a radio. If he could be taken into the sacred hall of Sims and Wade Hampton I colleges, the girls' rooms hold the answer. For on almost every desk and dresser is a picture of a man in uniform, be it army, navy, or marine. Many co-eds wear silver wings over their hearts, to match the smaller ones lying on the dresser. Some have cadet wings on their caps. There are gold bars and sergeant's chevrons, service stripes and medals. Where once were photographs of Clemson and Citadel cadets, boys in Carolina sweaters and crew cuts, there are now captains, corporals, lieuten ants, and able-bodied seamen. Pri vates share dresser space with en signs, and they all look happy about the whole thing. Britishers appear now and then. A flying officer from the Royal Cana dian Air Force and an ensign in the King's navy add to the variety of uniforms. One thing in particular would at tract Rip's eye. Every mother's son of them-American, British, or Cana dian-regardless of his age or size, has a look of determination on his face that would make a better man than Hitler think twice before taking him on.

Childs, Dean of Women. Mrs. Cludds outlined several types : war work which University co eds may undertake while continuing their studies. The USO plans to enlist girls over 18 to entertain soldiers at their club houses. According to a plan now un der discussion, the different sororities mnd the Independents will cooperate to send 100 girls a week to the USO. Nurses' Aides will work in the Co lumbia Hospital this winter, following up their training last spring at the University. A minimum of 150 hours duty will be given by each girl. An other Nurses' Aid course will be of lered second semester, for which three credits will be given. For good knitters, there are sweat ers, socks, flyers' caps, and many other kinds of woolen garments to be made. War saving stamps will be on sale in the canteens of Wade Hampton and Sims. Last year residents of Sims bought $50 worth of stamps and sales are expected to be higher this year. Writing to boys in the service is a duty as well as a pleasure. Letters to the boy who lived next door, and% to last year's lab partner can do a lot to build up morale. Of course Miss Carolina is doing a big job of morale building for the Man in Her Life, but she's helping him win the war in more ways than one. $1.49 Brim up or down, it's the perfect hot.
