Fraternities P acromi tLe campu By FRANCES PADGETT * Time For Another Weekend A weekend has ceased to be carefree and restful as it was in the old days. It used to consist of a comfortable journey to and from the chosen destination. Having a wonderful time with the one and only, and then back to school, living on memories until the next weekend.

C. ledge Navy Entertained By Social Cabinet V-12 students and Naval Pre I''ight cadets were given an oppor 1tunitv to get "in the swing'' of things last Saturday night. Atigust ~, to the tunles of Clarence Brazell and his orchestra. The dance. last ing from 9 'til 12. was held in the Naval Armory and sponsored by the Social Cabinet. Tom Stevenson, member of the Social Cabinet, has announced planis to sponsor a dance for V -12 studets, members of N ROTC. 'rc-Flight cadets and Carolina stu deits once every month. This will provide much needed entertainment on Saturday nights and give new comers to the campus a chance to get acquainted. Poll Shows That Navy Students Prefer Women Anonymous What makes the world go round? Women! is the unanimous answer of a good 99 percent of the Navy students stationed at Carolina. As a restlt of a recent poll, it was foud that 50 percent prefer blondes. -19 percent look first at brunettes, and the other one per cent just looks. They all look at redheads. Remarked one future admiral, "The quantity of beautiful girls on the campus makes studying a joy. Ilowever, I could suggest an im provenent-filling the bleachers with coeds during PTr." A large majority of the cadet, agrecd that girlk wonI greatly re duce the horrors of 'rT. but SOe n.au anlotiner suggestion-organtzmng girls' teams to compete at soccer, baseball, and running the obstacle course. One eager beaver wanted Ileddy T.amarr to help him with his chemistry, but this was regarded as too flagrant a violation of reguula tions. Content with the quantity and quality of Carolina coeds, the cadets had one fault to find.k This was voiced by a pre-flight cadet who ;tated. "IBY the time I get off Sat tirday night, all the girls have dates with lieutenants. I find this com petition a little hard to meet on my present salary." V-12 st%udet:: - have an edge over pre-flight cadets on get ting dates, due to the fact that they have classes with girls. I lowever. the limiting of dating to Saturday night is a dIefinite hinderanuce to ro muance, according to mnemblers of that group.. .\ stalwart engineering st udent said. "'I hav bc eent dating a very attract ive girl of wh lomu I am buecomuing quite fond. I wottld like to go steady' with ther, lbut I cannot ask her to sit at home all week wsaiting for our' Satuurday night sate. In fact, she has emphatically re futsedl to do so."
