ILLUMINATING NEWS!!! It seems that the faces of
the campus co-eds have suddenly become brighter over the
holidays-It must be the reflections from the numerous
sparkling DIAMONDS bing displayed!!-Pat Lewis, ADPi,
received a ring from K. C. Talbert, Kappa Sig. Martha Ann
Tinsley, ADPi alum, is now engaged to Harry Hannah,
Sigma Chi. . . . Also Alum Sally Rickman accepted a dia
mond from Bill Ostendorff, SAE alum.... KD Carolyn Jear
Edgar and Caldwell Weston have set February 25th for their
wedding date which will be one week after her sorority sis.
ter, Betsy Sipple, and Earl Ellis have "tied the knot." It
seems that Betsy is having a difficult time proving that she
and Earl are still engaged. The ring was too large and had
to be sent to Atlanta for repair. . . . Now Betsy tactfully
covers her left hand when around curious peoplp and very
few notice the absence of that symbol of approaching
"doom.". . . KD alum, Mary Vin Tucker, is wearing a beau
tiful ring bestowed- by Gettis Wood, Pi Kappa Phi alum. The
wedding date is tentative depending upon how soon Gettis
makes that half a million! ... If you stroll into Davison's
you'll see Tri Delt alum, "Cookie" VanBenthuysen proudly
wearing a ring from KA alum, Henry Jumper . . . While
here at school Helene Stein, AEPhi is displaying a "rock'
from Danny Kessler, student at West Virginia; also, AEPhi
Rita Ness is engeged to Melvin Solomon, who is now in
Charleston. . . . Chi Omega "Mot" Needham surprised every
one by returning to school with a diamond from Flipr
Mainwaring, fellow sufferer (acquiring an education) at the
University of North Carolina extension school at Raleigh,
AEPhi alum Shirley Gergel is engaged to Everett Ness. NC
MORE RINGS FOR THE MOMENT!

liams, Tri Delt alum, have been married since NOVEMBER !
During the holidays Phi Sigma Kappa Alex Bollin mar

to have a double wedding!! Margaret Eleazer is weighted
down with a big rock from Allen Pitts . .. Marilyn Coplan,
AEPhi, is now Mrs. Abe Hyman ... Evelyn Shipley and
Marion Smith, both of Sumter, tied the knot securely ovei
the holidays. . .

began with a drop-in given by Ed Free, an alumni home
from NYC, at the home of his parents. One of the high.
lights of the drop-in was the presentation of Jackie Mulkey
of Limestone who was recently pinned to Burton Wheeler,
now attending the Baptist Theological Seminary. Miss Mul
key was serenaded with the beautiful strains of "My Phi
Kap Girl." The group adjourned to the Hollywood chub

New York studios of Fred Astaire. Miss Aull, a member of

"N'Yot N'Yow (The Pussycat
Song)" is Perry Como's wackiest
novelty since his "Dig You Later
(A-Hubba-Hubba-Hubba)." Como
is in a highly humorous frame of
mind, impersonating a courtship
between two spirited pussy cats.
The melody is catchy, the Como
imitations have a droll satirical
flavor and the subdued harmoniz
ing by the Fontane Sisters adds
the proper feline notes to this de.
lightful RCA Victor novelty, which
is sure to sweep the country.
With "Roses of Picardy" on the
coupling, Perry gets a chance once
more to cut loose with some really
rich and expressive vocalizing.
"Roses" has long been one of the
great popular semi-classics and it
is the eloquent, dramatic type of
song which allows Perry a chance
to cut loose with some full-throat
ed vocalizing. The accompaniment
by Russ Case and his Orchestra is
handled with the colorful shading
and melodic emphasis typical of
this conductor.
The Page Cavanaugh Trio, dis
pensing a light-hearted brand of
subtly-interweaving instrumenta
tion as their voices blend in a
bright vocal interpretation, pre
sent a pair of appealing ditties
which have an infectious sparkle,
"The Gal Who's Got My Heart"
and "I'm Gonna Get Lost From
You," for RCA Victor.
With Page's keyboard tinkling
and blithe serenading putting a
gay bounce in the song projection,
the boys are in top form. "The
Gal Who's Got My Heart" is an
appealing tribute to the Trio's
light-of-love, presented with catchy
musical accents. "Gonna Get Lost"
has a perky pace with the peppy
instrumental blend high-lighting a
captivating melody.

Al Goodman, whose Orchestra
has a rich, luminous tone ideal for
conveying tho! melodic beauty of
the great operetta favorites, is now
heard with expressive eloquence
on the immortal Lehar tune,
"Yours Is My Heart Alone" from
the musical production, "Land of
Smiles." The Goodman Orchestra
fairly shimmers with tonal lustre
as the brass and strings blend in
an exquisite interpretation of this
haunting melody for RCA Victor.

On "Frasquita," the pairing, the
Goodm violins lend a caressing
note to this familiar theme, which
has an ageless appeal. The rich
flavor of this teautiful Lehar love
song is beautifully expressed by
the Goodman orchestra.

Montana Slim's fame has spread
from Canada through the rural
countryside where his sincere style
of singing has won a wide legion
of fans. The forthright appeal of
his stories of love and heartbreak
finds eloquent expression with his
latest RCA Victor waxing, "Just
an Old Forgotten Letter." That
mislaid envelope turns up via the
postal routes with a message which
has been eagerly awaited, and Slim
opens it with fervent hopes as the
Big Hole Bronco Busters play sym
pathetic accompaniment on their
hayseed strings for RCA Victor.
With the flipover, "If We Can't
Be Sweethearts Why Can't We Be
Friends," Montana sings a plain
tive plea that has a poignant im
pact, telling of his broken love.
He's in a doleful condition but the
theme of his tender story is light
ened by the rustic fiddle backing.

Chet Atkins, the personable coun
try-music vocalist from out Rocky
Mountain way, projects his in
gratiating personality on a snappy
tune entitled, "Don't Hand Me
That Line" for RCA Victor. Chet
doesn't want to "hear no more
sweet talk" from that gal of his,
'cause he's found out she's not
sincere. He's in a good-humored
frame of mind, however, and his
vocal delivery has a cheery lilt.

Pat Flowers concentrates his
nimble ivory knuckling on a popu
lar revival which has never lost
its lustre, "Just You, Just Me,"
for RCA Victor. The dazzling
Flowers technique, with its faster
than-the-eye rapid-fire keyboard
artistry, makes a fascinating mu
sical mosaic of this pleasing, senti
mental ballad.
On "Exhilarated, Exasperated,
Exhausted," Pat, with his Rhythm,
sings and plays in a nimble,
sprightly style of the hazards of
that old game of love, with his cus
tomary musical bounce. The droll
Flowers personality comes across
with unusual verve on this scin
tillating biscuit.
