Dean Chi Cocktail Drinking Scrip Poker Join Co-Ed Curriculum An announcement from Dean Childs' office today'confirmed the rumors circulating on the campus that the coeds are to be given a complete change of curriculum. A course In bridge-playing has now been added to the schedule. The course will carry four credits, because of the lab. It will be - re quired of any girl who enters Sims to register for the subject. Several of the profes'sors generously of fered to teach It, but since the course will take the place of his tory, Dr. Meriweather was chosen. Mrs. Childs came to this deci sion after a conference with Mrs. Pender, in which it was recognized that due to the fact that after 8 p. m., the girls are absorbed in history, the art of playing bridge Is neglected. Dean Bradley has also agreed to teach a course exclusively for girls, on playing strip poker. Two fraternities will give two courses for the girls: the Kappa Alphas will teach a course on how to make and drink cocktails, and the Sigma Nus will teach coeds how to fight.

The selection of Sweet William sur prised no one, for it had been ru mored on the campus that he was far more beautiful in the eyes of the Judges than were the other entrees. Billy boy was dressed in a lovely spring outfit of lavender and yel low. His muscular build greatly complimented the ensemble, creat ing a panic whan he l'imbered across the stage. The orchid which he wore had a perfect background on the lavender coat, and the yel low trousers furnished a distract ing contrast from the other half. His posture and graceful walk, according to the judges were influ ential in getting him the title of most handsome man of the group. The females present in the audi ence got a big thrill when beauti full Bill hove in sight, as was evi denced by the groans and moans. Judges for the event were the members of Delta Delta Delta so rority. Handsome Hutchinson will be the king of May in the annual May court. He will be crowned by the May queen at the coronation ball held in April.

All men who signed up for rush week were gladly taken in by the sororities. Registration was held Friday in Maxey lobby, from 9 to 12 a. m. Requirements for registra tion were that the prospective rushee must sign his own name on the list, that he know at least one girl in each sorority, and that he know the proper method for getting lipidated sugar of the second-hand variety. Dean Chase met with the rushees Friday at 2 p. m., to discuss and illustrate the proper ways and means to conduct themselves In so rority rooms and houses. He alsc spoke on the superior value of a new and different approach to so rority members, in order to be sure of getting a bid. Many of the men stated before rush week began that they were already positive of get ting a bid. No scheduled parties were held, Rushees were excused from all classes, however, to give them more time to attain good standing with their sorority sisters-to-be. Rushees were not allowed to spend the night in sorority houses or in the rooms of sorority girls Penalty for so doing would have meant that the rushee must wall until next rush week to pledge Rushees were, however, allowed t< talk to sorority girls when only oni sorority was represented.

These alphabetical edifice presented few problems durin construction, and only a fe, workmen suffered broken bone and hewds when they-the bult ings, that is-collapsed. The spectacular entrance to "C is wide enough for a gathering c two people, and few persons ax injured every day when hit by th swinging doors as in-going tt dents meet out-going ones. "C" has modern desks, whic are tables etched with the name of those who have sat befori Chairs are a little above the ta bles and are so straight and coni fortable that less than fiv'e-sixth of the students have curvature c the spine and dislocated backs. Especially comfortable durn January and July, "C" is uniquel insulated to cooperate with 'th seasons. Thermostats are set fc 40 degrees in the winter and 10 degrees for summer, adding tI spread of pneumonia and hei prostration. Another unusual feature is pre vided by the windows, which pre fer to stay closed in arid weath4 and open to let in the rain. But "C" is the building for a education.

HENDRIX Dormant animosity a g a i n a t strenuous athletics in sororities has burst into open conflagration with the -filing of a complaint against the Tri-Delt sorority in the court - of Will You Pleas on behalf of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. The complaint alleged that the sorority maintains an "attractive nuisance" in the form of two foot balls and that a KA member, Thomas E. MacFie of Columbia, "was injured and did suffer great humiliation and embarrassment" becaue nf Raid sttrstive inissnn 9 A Tri-Delt football kicked by - MacFie became irretrievably lodged t atop the drain of Sims dormitory, 5 and the sorority demanded payment 9 from MacFie's fraternity, W. Sam v uel Baker, "Unfrocked Lawyer for a the Plaintiff" said today. The KA's filed their claims on the same day as the sorority. "To place a football in such a ,f position that any red-blooded e young Southern gentleman will see e it and be tempted to play with said football is to place an attractive nuisance before any innocent and h unsuspecting young men, who, on 8 visiting these sweet and demure young ladies, suddenly finds him self engaged in a strenuous game -of football, in which he must par a ticipate for the expediency of self Sprotection," the complaint read. The plaintiff asked that the court order the defendant "to do more ,courting and less 'rassling' and to econfine their athletic activities to r repulsing the advances of 8AE's, 5 Sigma Nu's, and other such ver min", charging that: t"Holding themselves out to the general public as an organization for the development of the young womanhood of our fair state in re rality these young women conduct themselves as an athletic club and n perform in a rieanner similar to .that of the Amazons in fiction: In .keeping and maintaining a danger ous and attractive nuisance, one football which can and did cause ' injury to the plaintiff, one T. Mac P ie . . . which negligent and un lawful acts were the proximate 'cause of the damage to the plain tiff." Unfrocked lawyer Baker said to r day that the fraternity will apply to the Will You Pleas court for the rrelief demanded if the defendant ,, fails to answer the complaint with in 20 days.
