acram 34e campi.-by FRANCES PADGETT * A Word of Welcome ... to those of you who are entering the Uni'.ersity for the first time. We hope that you will find the old students helpful and friendly. We are glad to welcome youtl You will soon feel that you are a part of Caro lina and you will learn to love and praise her. The change in- the campus this year is unbelievable, especially with the coming of the large num ber of Naval V-12 boys. There is no doubt about it being a grand experience for all of us. So, welcome all new students. We'll have a fine year. * Now for the Old Students . . Probably the first thing that we noticed when we came back to school, besides the weather, was that many of our fellow students were gone. Some of them were graduated in May, others have left for the ariiy navy, miarines, and seabees. and not a small number have succumbed to the age old tradition of marriage. We will miss all of them and it is up to us now to carry on where they left off. The new students will be a big help to us and the spirit of Carolina will continue to grow. * Fraternity Rush Week . seems to he progreszing as usual this year. All the fraternity men are seen rushing frantically around, slapping everyoie on the back, planning parties, getting dates, and all in all having a hurried but grand time. Let's take a look at what has been going on in this field of activity. * * * * * Pi Kappa Phi . had a party at Melrose Park a week ago last Saturday and again last Saturday. The boys have been in the thick of things with a couple of smokers and watermelon cuts in the afternoons at the house. Another party will be held next Saturday at Melrose Park. .** *. * Kappa Alpha's . . . have been playing too. The chapter entertained with a party last Sat urday night at the home o .iohnny Dieter. A few oi the members and guests enjoyed a swkimming party Sunday before last, at Catighmian's pond. The K. A. house has been a busy place these days. *Sigma Nu's... partied at Brother Brockman's last Saturday night. The next afternoon a crew of the brothers, along with dates and rushees, went out to Caughman's pond for a swim and watermelon cut. A fine time was had by all. * * * * * Pi Kappa Alpha's entertained with a party in Maxcy Gregg Park, yes, this party was given Saturday night also. The boys have also been busy taking boys to the shows in the afternoon. The Columbia theatre managers must be turning all kinds of color, taking in so much money, during fraternity sushing. * Kappa Sig's . threw a party in Melrose Park, Saturday night. I am telling you t' !e Carolina students are becoming devoted to SATURD)AY NIGHTI. * Sigma Alpha Epsilon ... chapter had a party at the Hunt Club Saturday night. It was a fine party with plenty,of fun left over. * Alpha Tau Omega . .. enjoyed a stag party at Frank \\ ardlaw's home, last week. I h-hub,i left the girls at home. They wsere probably squared up w.ith a picture show party, that the A. TV. O.'s gave Sunday afternoon. * Night Life ... It is really sutrpriig the way that tUncle Samt sees to it that co-edls stutdy. It seems th a t thle mlajority of girls in Simis anid \Vade ll amiipton dormitories havse taken th is quest ion of studi ing serioucly. It couldn't be dute to the fact that the navy boys here on the camtpus only get out ene ntight a week. Thank goodness every week has its Saturday night. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Roosevelt doesn't change this. * Alumni . .. Kat E.dgerton and Louis Sossaman were married in Oranigeburg last S;tturday. Incidentally L.ois was president of the student body and Kat was vice-presidlent. Nice teamwvork. Frances Sawyver and( F-rank Simrill were married last wecek. Frank is ant enlsigin in the V. S. Navy * Y. W.C. A. Works .. . hard at getting the new girls situtated. Several teas have beeni given for them. The Y. \V. is also giving dances once every three wveeks for all the hoys and girls. These dances will he held in the armory and should be a 1ot of funt. There will be a dance in the near futture so make your plans. * Co-ed's . .. These girls have a trick up their sleeve so w atch out for them. Hlowsever, we personially assure you that what is in store wsill be somethitng good. Mfore news about that later. * Visitors . .. on the campus antd enroute. Ed Parler, now a corporal in the army, was here for a short visit several (lays ago.

Nobody but a few hyper-conscientious souls ever do it. It's an awful good idea to get in such items as term papers and book reports, however. Term papers are undoubtedly the most loathsome articles ever in vented. But they happen to every body and you can at least do them, the easiest way. If given a choice. choose the narrowest subject you can. In other words choose "A. E. Houseman" instead of "English Poetry." You want to explore a subject-not drown in it. Book reports are so easy I won der that instructors stopped reqtur ing them. Read the synopsis pasted Inside the cover and enough of the book to get an idea of the style and approach of the author. Skim the last few chapters to find out whether it has a happy ending. Decide whether or not you like it and tell why in your report. It's simpler if you don't like it, for you can write pages and pages of criticism. You can hate the author personally, or his lack of taste, realism, sentiment, knowledge or talent. el " e ilili tilne tillW , youn shouhill lbe fairlv iii liair wi ith lie mtri al .ou~ ha:ie covrid ni youar lbe some11 '.acani1t '.p1'tI.

If there's a choice decide which question you are best able to answer and check them. For the essay type organize your answer be fore beginning to write. Work at an even rate of speed. On completion, multiple choice, and true-false exams, it's wise to answer the ones you know first, try to figure out the ones you aren't quite sure of next and then tackle the unanswerables.

Irs. A. R. Childs. deain of womien. 'tated! that sIte expected girls living in the dormitory to observe the honor principle in the dormitory as well as in class. "Sigiing out on the gueat book is the same as telling me in person where yonl are going and when you rettirn. It is certaintily a violation of honor to fail to sign out, or to give a falke impression when sign ing in or out," Mrs. Childs told the girls. The location of the girls' infirm arv ill Sims has made it necessarv to keep the east end of the hir"t and second floors quiet at all time'. .\Mrs. Child- urged the residents of east wing to reiraini from pla\ ing radios loudly anld making iunece - sary noise in the halls and on the porch. In case of any infraction of dor initory rules, it is assumed that all girls have read the booklet of build ing regulations, Mrs. Childs de clared. Contained in this booklet are rules concerning permission to date soldiers, restrictiot)s, and gen eral hints on dormitory life.
