Comes the game, comes the dances, comes the dawn, come an eight o'clock class, come, come, my dear watson, we get a holiday afte that victory, remember? * * * 9 Laugh And Play . . .

Wasn't that friendly? . . The Tri-Delta pledges will b feted at a dance next Tuesday week, and it, too, will be lovely-(that last dear reader, was what is commonly known as a plug). * * * * Little Fraternity Pin New KA shields are shining on some manly chests these days: Johnn Dieter, Cooper McEachern, Don McKellar, Vicky Johns, and James Smitl . . and the KD's gave Jane Brooks Marshall the second degree of initiatioi Sunday.

Kate Bull is another FIRST. Shc's Columbia's fir messenger boy-girl. Bicycle, pants, singing, telegrams and all . . if wishe were horses, I'd ride one that had blue eyes like Dean Frierson . . or mayb Joyce Hetzel . . or Isobel McCants . . and wouldn't it be nice to have purple, velvet voice like Betty Jo League . . and Elizabeth George sound like unrationed sugar, even when she's reading spelling words. * * " * Paging Patriotism So the Carolino co-ed weeps copiously when her boy goes off to the wa .so she holds up her chin and is noble . . so what? So nothing. I wis these GALLANT girls would either put tip or shut up . . it's mighty color futl, the variety of yarns co-eds are knitting on . . but it'd be even more pleas ing if those garments-ini-the-making were olive drab to cover the back of a cold soldier instead of snuggle around the already warm backs of th knitting co-eds . . last year there were dozens of enthusiastic nurses' aide! I won't say howv many afternoons this year those co-eds go to the hospital insteadl of the movies-but it ain't nine hundred . .the canteens in Sims an Wade Hampton sell hundreds of dollars of tasty tidbits a month . . Defens stamps aren't unavailable, but we'd rather be fat than free, wouldn't w<4 (tears? . . it's little enough to ask that a score of co-eds cheer up the US( boys every now and then but it's near to impossible to get up such a crowv . . Ia, Ia, patriotism is a pretty wvord. * * * * Love, Honor, And Oh Boy... Libbie Lifchez has such a pretty ring-THAT kind, too! . . and Margi Edwvards, has joined the ranks of the took-en . . Sniff, sniff, our time wvi come . . Sadie Hawkins day next month . . I wish somebody wvould te me a howl of a joke so I could tell Cooper McEachern and Betty Cappk mann.

Are you Donaldl Law: Nooooooooo (to he readl in a low howl) . . this week is happy time indeed . . Richard Orion Young is back visiting.

I Study Hall Planned During Week Nights For Studious Coeds Plans for a voluntary study hall in Davis College, Monday through Fri day nights of every week were com pleted recently by a group of upper class girls in cooperation with Pan Ilellenic council. This plan was devised to provide I the best possible environment for t studying, because many girls have < complained about the noise in dor- s mitories. It was thought that in the quietness of Davis college co-eds would be able to accomplish more studying. Two upperclassmen will be in charge of the study halls to maintain order. They will also give individ ual help to those in need of aid. Freshman girls may leave Wade Hampton to attend these studly halls 4 and it will not be counted as using one of their dating privileges. After mid-semester this plan may be made compulsory.
