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.
