"11in This Corter"
By Toni Simpson
BY WAY OF MENTION
Deadlines are my bete noire. With apologies to Dr. Bab
coc, translated that "Ain't deadlines th' spinach!"
Usually I am inspired on by the "Huppings" of "Tonsils"
Robinson as he neatly maneuvers his crew into position on
Gibbs Green or Bill Prigge's constant and ever persistent
rearch of the "Lost Cord," but then this isn't Tuesday after
noon, or a Kappa Sig field day, so my inspiration is very
thinly spread. . . . Tiger Adams replaces Lt. Goulding, who
blushed with the best o' brides, as star of Drayton Hall
Hilarities. Never has this columnist heard such a rendition
of the Warbash Cannonball. . . . Speaking of the "HE-male"
contest, Associated Press has picked up and is carrying the
pictures of Carolina's "handsome hunks." . . Co-ed's for
mal of last Friday night was one of the nicest and well
hatched ideas of this semester. . . . The cookie feud between
Knobby Walsh, Dot Phasey and Jack Brett is progressing
nicely with no casualties or indigestion on either side as yet.
AKG's treasure hunt for the new freshmen proved to be
brain teasers to many of the older USC'ers. Is there really
a statute of Neptune within our domain? . . . The Germarr
Club has at last set the date. . . . October 5 is the big night,
according to Tommy Howell, president. .
TIEING TH' KNOT
Louisa Montgomery, ADPi, married Lt. Olin Oliphant last
Saturday. Lt. Oliphant has just returned from overseas. . . .
Announced last Sunday was the engagement of Jeanette
Holley, ZTA, and Ed Boucher, Sigma Chi. Jeanette grad
uated last June and is now teaching at University high. The
wedding will take place in October, after commissioning.
Virginia Godshall, Delta Zeta, is now Mrs. Roy Scott.
le's a Pi Kappa Sigma and a former Carolina student. . . .
Craig Carmichael's, KD, engagement has been announced
to Bill Elder of Durham. The wedding is to be in the early
fall.
HOBNOBBING
The swimming party the Kappa Sig pledges gave the
active chapter at Gibson's Pond last Saturday was won
derful. . . . The Lambda Chi's went swimming at Gibson's,
too. . . . Pi Kappa Phi's traveled in an air-conditioned truck
to their party. . . . The Legion Hut was the scene of the
Phi Kappa Sig get-together. . . . Sigma Nu's will party over
Lexington way this Saturday. New Sigma Nu pledge is
Red Mayo. . . . Sigma Chi's exercised their pledges with a
scavenger hunt. . . . Melrose Park and a novelty party wll
occupy the Pi Kappa Alphas this weekend. . . . The Piker's
are also planning a formal banquet Sunday in honor of
several brothers who have been members of PiKA for 50
ye.rs. Professor Geor,ge McCutcheon is one of the four
members who will be presented with a golden membership
certificate for their faith and loyalty in the past half cen
tury. . . . Mary Ramsey, Charlotte Tuten, Virginia Hender
son Glenn, Rosa Lee Atwill and Millie Fillingim, Chi O's,
were in town for the Fillingim-Atwill wedding. . . . Mar
garet Floyd leaves some time next week to plan her fall
wedding. . . . Annie Hudson of the WAVEs, Delta Zeta,
now stationed at Norfolk, Va., paid the campus a visit over
the weekend. . . .Barbara Lee stopped over in the Tri Delt

Many new faces have apeared
on the CaMPUS for the second sum
mer school witli the majority of
them belonging to freshmen. Due
bto the rapidity of Carolina gradum
tions, it is not difficult for even
the oldestsuet --wo campus
to reach back into the grooves of
his memory and remember when
he or she were only a newcomer to
the campus.
This ole scribe can well remem
ber the day she hit the big cam

a red letter day on the calendar
July 4. y knowledge of my new
surroundings was so vague 1hat I
even had to ask where Wade

Now I was a big girl in size and
thought I was in mind; consequent
ly, I covered my ignorance with si
lence and wanderea and wandered
doing my best to create the im
pression of being anything else but
a green freshman. Experience is a
great teacher so my advice to anyl
new student is ask questions; it
saves shoe coupons. Anyway I've
since learned that upper clasmen
are so confused with registration
that. they don't nQtice anyone's stu
pidity anyway - that is, anyone's
except their own.
At the time that I entered my
Alma Mater, the country had been
swept with letters addressed to all
the boys with such a cordial salu
tation-GREETINGS! This result
ed in having all the boys of the
country deposited in camps and
schools that few~ small towns could
boast. How wonderful it was to
find myself in the midst of one of
these deposits.
Since those <days, my eyes have
dulled, my hair has thinned, my
figure has bent, but with my cane
I find myself still plugging along.
Don't despair, freshmen, and feel
that the upper classmen are laugh
ing at you--. just laugh at them and
say "Whatjj wouldn't you give to
re;.ain your youth and be in my
shoes!"
Fr'aterniities Must
Wait Sixty D)ays
Before Rushing
The I nterfraternity C'ounc i at its
last meeting approved a newv regu
lation concerning "rushing" by fra-~
ternities.
The menmbers of the Cou nc'iI
passed a 'resolution that a person
must he on the campus for two
months before he can be enter
tainedl by a fraternity. Thus, a st u
dent entering ini September can
not he taken on fraternity parties
until November, and a November
registrant is not eligible until Jan
uary.
