Modern Dorm. Is Ideal House Of Multi- Utiity By JANE DOWE Feature Editor Sims-a woman's dormitory, the most modern and beautiful in the state! Technically that is right, and two hundred and seventy-five girls do make their homes there, but Sims lobby has been the scene of gatherings of every variety. This month the Southeastern debaters held their week-end con ference and debates there, and once again Sims housemothers ar ranged bouquets and warned the young ladies to "use the side door." It was a repeat perform ance, for earlier in .the winter the South Carolina Press Association both met and ate in the lobby. The large lobby, resembling that of an exclusive hotel, provides an idea place for socials, which can be extended to the terrace when too many guests arrive, such as last week's Sigma Chi drop-in. The faculty entertains at Sims an nually,. giving girls a chance to peep at tuxedo-clad professors. Co-ed's legislative teas are given here, as are entertainments of honorary fraternities and smaller women's groups. For several years Religious Emphasis confer ences took place in Sims lobby. During the war classes were held for a while in what is now Sims' sorority row. Pep rallies often started here, and on any warm afternoon the terrace becomes a combination bridge, sun bathing, and dancing party. Sims' most unusual event was a pajama party-after hours - which was attended by the former president's wife, Mrs. J.-Rion McKissick. in a nightgown deco rated with eighty service emblems and fraternity pins. That is Sims-a wonian'q dor mitory.
