Senst Literary Societies Promote IlIl Will Monday, March, 25, r944, the four literary societies held a joint meet ing in the University chapel. The purpose of the meeting was to pro mote ill-will among the societies. The, meeting opened with a brief debate on "Campus Courting," with Mrs. Hawkins of the English de partment taking the affirmative and some drip from the biology depart ment, the negative. The affirmative, naturally won the debate. After the debate, Buchanan Mc Kay gave his recitation of "Lettie the Pure White Leghorn." When the audience recovered, they were thrilled by Mr. Furman Cannon's in terpretation of the Black Swan bal let. Toward the end of the program, Josie Marshall and Elizabeth Evans started an argument over a* lost bobby-pin. Sorority Rushing Doors Wide Open The Women's Pan-Hellenic Coun cil of the University of South Caro lina has recently put out i new list of rules concerning all girls in con nection with sorority life. With the influx of so many of new co-eds this semester, Pan-Hellenic has decided to throw the doors wide open to rushing. Sorority rooms will be kept open continually, and all new girls ,are welcome at any time. They may take their dates there with no stipulations as to whether there are one or more girls in the room at the time. The Council has also announced that the rooms will be kept open till one o'clock on week nights except Saturday. On Saturday, the one "big night" of the week, the rooms will be available for parties lasting till 2:30 Sunday morning. On Sun day nights. the rooms will be closed promptly at ii p. m. according to the University tradition. Boys on the campus are encouraged to attend sorority rush parties and may accept the fact that they are be ing used as bait.

Bishop Havilah Babcock will officiate, and Captain Needham will serve as best man. Miss League's only attendant will be Mrs. Rowena Graham, Sims matron. Flowers for decoration are through the courtesy of Mrs. Grahan. Friends were amazed at the ab ruptness of this attraction, these two having been completely ab sorbed in each other since they met two weeks ago at the Lookout Club. Mrs. Childs and Captain Needham conferred and agreed that young love should not be sacrificed to tho Guillotine of navy regulations. Cap tain Needham also brought in the factor that wear and tear on es sential telephone lines would be cut extensively by eliminating \r. Way's calls to Sims. The wedding party will 'resume festivities at the Lookout Club, in commemoration of the birthplace ri a transcendant love. Following the young couple will honeymoon for a month at Palm Beach, Fla., at the expense of the U. S. Navy. Able Ad Collector Wouldn't Oblige At Lost Minute Due to the fact that our usually nwilling ad collector has the nerve not to give us just a little more ads to take up space in this issue, here I sit pecking away at the ole typewriter with meaningless words, trying to fill up a wee bittie space that can't go into the paper blank. Journalistic ethics won't permit it even in this unconventional issue of what used to be the Gamecock. This ought to just about do it. so guess it's time this nonsense, was be ing cut off. Chine .
