Sigma De tc The Murky Way By BETTY HENDLEY THE END... Another semester is just about over. What with exams, etc., just around the corner, the social life is at a minimum. Therefore most of the social news is in the past. But never let it be said that USC failed to carry on to the end. The past week-end is bold proof. Friday night the Naval Regi mental Ball was held at the Township Auditorium. All the sponsors had white orchids. The impromptu highlight of the evening was the group singing in the middle of the dance floor during an intermission. The next night the German Club held their June Formal at the Hotel Columbia. The sponsors and dates walked through an arch while favors were presented. ELECTIONS . . .

Ethel Love (Jo) Seideman is the new presi dent of the association, succeeding Patsy Patrick. Othet officers elected to serve during the summer term are Patty Malcolm, vice-president; Frances Smith, secretary; Betty Culler, treasurer; Jinx Giles, reporter. The Co-Ed Association, composed of all the girls on the Carolina campus, has completed a most suc essful semester. One of its main projects was to revise its constitu tion. This has been done, and one of the most Important revisions is requiring a girl to attend at least five meetings during the semester to be eligible to vote In elections. The training, breakfast given be fore the all-girl Powder Bowl foot ball game was given by Co-Ed. The association also took part in and supported other activities on the campus. All girls who have done the re quired amount of Co-Ed and war work are eligible to have Co-Ed keys. Pan-Hellenic Booth to Remain Open Next Term Pan-Hellenie voted at its meet ing Wednesday night to continue the Pan-Hellenic Information Booth through the summer semester. Two sororities will be in charge of the booth each week. Due to the lack of sorority girls on the campus this summer, it will he difficult to keep the booth open at its present hours-11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.-but this will be done at the beginning of the semester. it was decided that this would be necessary due to the number of new students on the campus. If their is enough demand to have the booth open at these hours of the day, it will be con tinued throughout the semester. All organizations on the campus are asked to give a complete list of their officers and time of meet ings and any other information. In formation cards have been ordered through the Registrar's Office and will be here in time for the sum mer registration. Each student will fill in his complete schedule and other information to be kept on file at the Information Booth. The Pan-Hellenic Bulletin will also be continued throughout the summer with Jill Lane in charge. All organizations are also asked to hand in all information of its activi lies for a week in order to have the llulletin more complete. Pan-Hellenic will be inactive for the sunmmer, b)ut there will be called meetings during the semester. Signs of Leavinig E~vident In Simis The halls in Sims College are rapidly becoming lined with trunks, b)ags, and boxes of all shapes, sizes, and descriptions, bringing home to the few that will remain for the summer semester the fact that they are being left. Seeing the girls scamper around, clarting in the nearest room, would lead one to think that everyone Is in a rush collecting last minute notes before exams. The real rea son for the rush is usually the fact that someone has shouted a hurried-and usually belated warning, "Trunk men on the hail." Many of the girls are packing to leave their Alma Mater for the last time; others are packing to leave for the summer in order to escape the Columbia heat.
