Vdibb6i '7//Around by Mary Helen Shiiwhan Life is really going to be gay at Carolina from here on in. I just never heard of so many parties and thingA that have been planned for the future by various organizations on campus. I have heard that so many things are being planned that there just arei't enough weekends to take care of It all. It sounds pretty good, hih? Much has been going on this week. . .. The Sigma Nu's said that they had lust about the be.t'st time t'iey ever had at the old square dance and hay ride last week out at Gib son's Pond and that they are planning on another big time this Saturday night with a Gay Nineties Revue at Arsenal 1 Hill. In evidence will be handlebnii. mtaillches, barber shoppe quartets, singing waiters and just all the trimmings, which certainly sounds like fun. . Kappa Sigs had a stag drop in after the basketball garne Wednesday night at Bobby Wicham's house. They're also going to have an informal dance this Saturday night at the Worhen's Club and its kuaranteed to be mucho gay. Lambda Chi's plan a hayride-hamburger party At Mary Anne Clarkson's Saturday night and I just hope that this precipitation doesn't keep up because that would be bad. They are also giving a smoker at the old fraternity room Wednes day night and tonight, the 22nd, they are having their Foun der's day ban<uet at which Bob Smith, alum of Ohio U. will speak. S. C. alums (us Postal, Bill Ward and Lt. Corn. Lev 'ertt are coming down especially for the big occasion. They're having a steak dinner too. Another alum, Bill Brown, is com ing down from the U. of Ga. and will be here this weekend. I want to extend my humble apologies to the Pi Kappa Phi's for getting them mixed up last 'eek. Forgive m'e? In cidentally they are giving ai hayrride Saturday which and I quote "will be a. dilly.". And I just spec it will. Returning transfers are Bill Lubecke from Furman, Johnny Gantt, P. C., Billy Paterson, Wofford, Dave Morris, Gene Jones, John McGowan, Jessie Evans, Glaymon Grimes. Sigma Chi's are giving an informal (lance at Sloan's stu dio Saturday night. They are going to have a floor show and what have you which sounds interesting. The S.A.E.'s gave a party at the Rathskellers Wednesday night . . . with dates. Their party last Saturday night was mighty fine and everybody said they had a heck of a good time . . . perhaps it was phrased a little differently. Anyway, some stayed around the fire (amazing?) and sang songs. 4hers (lid some canoeing and others hiked. At any rate everybody had fun. KA's had a mighty fine time at their dance which they had last week at the Jefferson Hotel. They plan hot dog party at Toot4 Walker's house this Saturday and they must ex pect just scads of people on account of they have hired a moving van for transportation. The German Club is reviving its old tradition, the June Ball this year. I imagine it will be the best ever as they will have to make up for lost time. The sororities have also been swinging out this week.... The A E Phi's were given a banquet by their pledges at the Jefferson Hotel. A large bouquet of carnations was present ed to each of the actives and the dinner, it is reported, was just delicious. Delta Zeta's pledges gave a bridge party for their actives ,Thursday night. Delicious refreshments were served and many hot bridge games were played. Their Province Direc tor, Mrs. R. L. Stiff, will visit March 29th. Dorothy Murphey, alum, v'isited the chapter last Monday. Mficky Edmundls andl Carolyn Hlitt Osborne were visiting the ZTA's last week. Lix Stewart is their representative for the Athletic Association. Delta Tau pledged Anita Fagelson last week. This week will be Heart Week . . . each girl will gift one of her sorority sisters for a week and at the end of the week they will have a pa.jama party at Sims. Kappa Delta had second( degree pledging Thursday, March 14th, for twelve girls. They will have initiation sometime this week. Tri Delts are having a picnic Saturday afternoon for their new initiates who are: Mary Lib) Nanz, Vivian Owens, Sarah "Bull. They will be initiated tonight. The picnic sounds grand . . . it will be at .Jesse Lewis' farm. Alpha Delta Pi is giving a dropsin from 9 until 11 tonight, in honor of the veterans. Ev'eryone in the student bodyi invited. Everybody b)e sure and have a goodl time at all these par ties now. I know I dlon't have to tell you to because you will anyway.
