The week before Christmas--it won't be long now. And
in the meantime everybody's really getting in the holiday
spirit with parties, shopping trips, and caroling. The Pi K As
have provided the constant strains of Christmas music
played over a loud speaker from their fraternity house.
The holidays begin tomorrow. Everyone will head for
home or other interesting places-those who haven't left
already, that is. Then the fun begins all over again.
PRELUDE TO CHRISTMAS
Many Christmas parties have been given, among them
the Chi O party Wednesday afternoon, and that held Thurs
day night for KD actives, pledges, and alums in the sorority
room. Phi Kappa Sigma pledges are giving a party tonight
for the actives at the Woman's Club in Cayce, and Chi Os
and Sigma Chi's went caroling together Wednesday night.
A E Phis had an advertising party December 6 at Shan
don Park. Couples attended dressed as their favorite ad
vertisements. Pi K As entertained several alums at their
monthly supper which was held Monday night at the Mar
ket Restaurant.
KAs gave a drop-in in the Crystal Room of the Hotel Co
lumbia for all those attending the dance last Friday night
and Delta Zetas invited the student body to a drop-in last
Sunday afternoon. Sigma Chis are planning a big party for
New Year's Eve.
Kappa Sigma held pledging Monday night for Frank
Acrey, Pat Cox, Paul Foster, and Danny Fulmer.
WEDDINGS AND PINS
Carolyn Martin and Frank Butler, Pi K A alum, will be
married tonight, and wedding bells will ring December 28
for Peggy Spencer, Chi 0, and Billy Shelley. Jeanne Jones,
ZTA, became the bride of Wallace Doughty, Pi K A Wed
nesday.
Harriet Rivkin, A E Phi, is now wearing the Pi Lambda
Phi pin of Bob Zackin; Gretchen Gayden, Chi 0, is pinned
to Bill Dawson, KA.

economics at Wake Forest College. Martha Erwin, Dt alum,
visited on the campus last weekend.
Owens Killingworth, KA from Aiken, visited here last

SHORT STORY
Two fleas fell in love and one lovely June day they got
married.
Young, industrious and ambitious, the fleas worked hard
and saved their money. They sacrificed fun to assure the
future. One day they counted their money and were over
.joyed to find they'd saved five dollars.
"If we can save five we can save ten!1" they agreed, so
they continued their thrift. They toiled, economized and
planned, spurning the frivolous pleasure of other fleas. Fi
nally came'the day when their savings totaled ten dollars.
That day they went out and bought a dog of their own.
DEFINITION
The height of diplomacy: to say, on surprising a woman
in the bathtub, "I beg your pardon, sir."
A TOAST
To the land we love and the love we land.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
IT'S HERE! IT'S TRUE!

Knitting Latest Fad
To Invade Campus
Easy On Shopping A
By JEAN DAVIS
The latest fad at the univer
sity is the craze of knitting. The res
click of*needles and the concen- pu
trated counting of "knit two, P'
pearl two" is a common occur
rence. dre
Socks of plain yarn, socks that Ho
combine all colors in a mad design tin
and sweaters of non-ending length 1
are to be viewed in the hands of 12
60% (or maybe more) of Caro- bre
lina's female population. A b-ave the
few have ventured the art in the
classes to test the professors' re- sto
actions. If conditions are favor- ind
able, the lecture may often be
interrupted with such remarks as in
"Drat it. I dropped a stitch." Ra;
Bridge and 21 have suddenly att
taken a decided drop in popular- we'
ity. Now the determination of diti
the right number of stitches is toa
more important than a trump.. chi
The boys' reactions to the craze lici
vary. A few think the whole mat- bo
ter disconcerting. They wonder if
longer skirts and the Gibson Girl Pat
styles have brought back the Br(
Home Girl Era. Others are won- Els
dering if they will be the models Gui
of the finished products-whether ny
they be well or poorly done. Ke
Christmas is fast approaching. j
So watch out, all you boy friends, Mc
brothers. and dads-your Christ- and
mas stocking Is likely to be filled~
with stockings this year.
