USC Co-ed Chosen Pin-up Giri By 4 The University can now claim that it has a real pin-up girl One of our co.eds v.as a little more than startled rcently when _he opened her mail box and found a letter-and not an ordinary letter at that The letter was written by four unknown gobs declaring her as one of their pin-up girls. Thc fact that the now famous lass did not know the four wistful ones brings forth one big question. How did this all come about? The letter was written on U. S. S. Oswald (De-767) stationery and was sent from in care of F. P. 0., New York, N. Y. It contained the fact that a recent issue of "The Game cock" had arrived containing a group picture of Alpha Kappa Gamma in which our heroine is pic tured. The four correspondents stated that they were "instantly struck with her idealistic beauty and un comparable poise" The paper arriv ed at an opportune time for it so happens that there is a vacant space on their bulkheads devoted only to pin-up girls, ar.d that space is reserved for "The Gil We Would Like Most to Spend a Life Raft Leav'e With." The four have select ed her, Carolina's own, as an ideal person to assume the above title. "Miss-, will you please con sent and be kind enough to mail us a "Pin-Up" type picture of you. self to brighten a very dismal spot in our humble place of occupation? "Perhaps we can establish a friendship of good wvill between the above named vessel and the Univer sity of S. C. Having been taught aggressiveness by the navy (dur ing Commando Practices) we will, at least, make a brave attempt to do so." The above two paragraphs are quoted from the recent letter-we only omitted her name. Who is the girl? Bring forth the edition of "The Gamecock" con taining the group picture of the new Alpha Kappa Gamma initiates, scan the group carefully and see which one of the girls strikes you with her idealistic heauty and uncom patrable poise CAROLINA ENGRAVING CQ (@s.UMssA.S.e.

Pledge Pins Show Result of Rushinfg Now that fraternity rush week is over the campus social life has calmed, and shiny pledge pins are foating about the campus telling the wor'id of the results. Swimming parties to Sesqui and lal:es surrounding Columxbia w.re prevalent and served two p,t poses -fighting the heat and gettirg new pledges. The weather did its best to break up several-rain. rain, and more rain-but the gn.'s and boys didn't allow such a trivial thing as weather to break up their fun. That brings up the subject of girls for' what is a swimming party with out girls tn pitch into the wvater to prove the manly brawn. It is an established fact on the campus now that girls are few and far be tween; consequently, there wvas about as much rush getting enough girls for the parties as getting rush ees.
