Fraternity rush season will end today at noon, after ten t
days of hot-boxing, high-pressure and high balls. Monday h
night some one hundred Neophytes-to-be will sign their first, (
second and third choices in Drayton Hall, after which many $
will be feated by banquets, stag parties and smokers. C
Among the more memorable of the rush functions were C
those given the last days of the rushing period, after bids c
had been issued and choices began to narrow. - P
The Alpha Tau Omega's feated their rushees with a, func- a
tion at Ross McFadden's home last Wednesday night. Sigma 9
* Chi invaded the depths of the Jefferson Hotel Wednesday t
p. M., holding a dance under candlelight in the Rathskellar.
Kappa Alpha and rushees "night-clubbed" in the ballroom ,
upstairs, entertainment by Rut Osborne and his troupe ...
P1 Kappa Phi held an "on the ball" functign at the Woman's t
Club, Wednesday last, music by Chick Foster and his band. t
Sigma Nu feated rushees at a costume ball at Columbia b
Country Club last night ... also a stag supper Wednesday i
night. Kappa Sigma rushees and dates were scheduled for r
a weiner roast, at Sesqui, a la blankets.
Hey How You
There has been a great deal of discussion as to the Identity
of the one who introduced this little greeting to the Caro
lina campus. Some say that it was friend Wickenberg, some
* say others but never the less we still have it. Yours truly
suggests that it be used more ... Carolina is falling down
on its friendliness. Just the other day a friend complained
that he was having a hard time becoming acquainted with
one of the thirty odd co-eds who entered this semester. He t
explained that when he greeted her with our little ditty she '
looked at him as if he should take a course in freshman Eng- I
lish. Speak to everyone on the campus, whether you know p
them or not. Co-eds please note: "Hey, How You's lead to c
I Do's".
Ground Hog
Some have wondered just what is the usefulness, if any,
of this organization. For those who haven't noticed ... The
Ground Hog club sponsored a rather large and rather costly
ad in last week's issue of this publication, advocating Clean
Speech Week, which is a fine movement. That is a good proj
ect. I joined this organization, and am glad, because my dime
helped ... I hope.

* Dances
It has been called to my attention that there is a serious
lack of dances scheduled for this semester. If any organiza
9 tion is due for a formal, this is an excellent semester to have
it. 'Twould be greatly appreciated by all concerned.
Comparison
Overheard in the Canteen, a freshman co-ed was compar
ing her boy friend with those of her friends. After a period
of silence, a most attractive girl, whose boy friend was evi
dently named Jimmy, popped up, "Well Jimmy's got more
good looks than Admiral Smith's got Hat."

Toward the end of last semester, c
a group of enthusiastic students r

nl- try, in the hope that eventually a

versities and colleges. Unfortu- I
e- nately, the club was started too C

For that reason, operations were
