.'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 professors 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 when he lumbered across the stage. The orchid whlch 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. Other contestants in the pageant were Clyde Godbold, representing tenement 24%; Bob Solomons, rep resenting Sigma Chi; John Zim merman Nelson, representing Co lumbia; Howard House, represent ing Sigma Nu; Willie Heustess, representing Kappa Sigma; Rob ert Sumwalt, representing Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Bill King, repre senting Lambda Chi Alpha; Cecil Gray, representing Kappa Alpha; club's service program for next week will be to cheer the dejected inmates of the fraternity houses. - ea foods - Dinners ~D CHICKEN 9 estaurant e to t" 1507 Gervais St. ross town to get Cleaning Service? the Campus espe its' convenience. i FOR STUDENTS* Sat. 9-1 ITY RY EANING fICE The Cant.. fes Progre Spor you will look real hard, the spone ave slipped our minds(?), but their Rush Week F Ends As Big Pledge Favor Post-deadline rushing was jurisdiction of Pan-Hellenic c were allowed to sign up for ri The sororities conferred on with the officers of Pan-Hellei to the president of Pan-Hellenic, many of the sorority girls have no time for active participation in a large number of sorority projects, due to the fact that many men ask them for dates and they are afraid to refuse. All men who signed up for rush week were gladly taken in by the sororities. Registration was held Friday in Maxcy 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 also 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 wait until next rush week to pledge. Rushees were, however, allowed to talk to sorority girls when only one sorority was represented. On the last day of rush week, rushees met with Dean Childs and the officers of Pan-Hellenic to re ceive bids. No talking was allowed during the deciding period, except that which was absolutely neces sary.

No. 'C' Is Home Of All Wrecks Building "C," one of the mod ern buildings on the campus, along with A, B, D, E, and F, was con structed in 1947 for permanent use. These alphabetical edifices presented few problems during construction, and only a few workmen suffered broken bones and heads when they-the build ings, that is-collapsed. The spectacular 43trance to "C' is wide enough for a gathering. of two people, and few persOns are injured every day when hit by the swinging doors as In-going stu dents meet out-going ones. "C" has modern desks, which are tables etched with the names of those who have sat before. Chairs are a little above the ta bles and are so straight and com fortable that less than five-sixths of the students have curvature of the spine and dislocated backs. Especially comfortable during January and July, "C" is uniquely insulated to cooperate with the seasons. Thermostats are set for 40 degrees in the winter and 105 degrees for summer, adding the spread of pneumonia and heat prostration. Another unusual feature is pro vided by the windows, which pre fer to stay closed In arid weather and open to let in the rain. But "C"' Is the building for an education. The cardboard walls be tween rooms are thin and acous tics are good, so that a free course in political science, psychology, philosophy, and journalism can be obtained by sitting in one of the class rooms. Floors are musical, and such a beautiful thundering rumble occurs when one class is dismissed that other professors are entranced Into dis3pissing their eager charges. To se'e the building from afar is a lovely sight. "A," "B," "D," "E," and "F" share honors with it for attractiveness. It is a bun galow, built of which cheeseboard, that fits well into the few feet separating stone Davis college and brick Petlgru. But classes In "C" are so interesting that not many students listen to the enlightening conversations of the law siudents. cation Foi sorority spring fever dance which KA Sues Tn-Delts For niunes Given By Russling Girls By HUBERT T. 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" because of vaid attractive nuisance. A Tri-Delt football kicked by MacFie became irretrievably lodged atop the drain of Sims dormitory, and the sorority demanded payment from MacFie's fraternity, W. Sam uel Baker, "Unfrocked Lawyer for the Plaintiff" said today. The KA's filed their claims on the same day as the sorority. "To place a football in such a position that any red-blooded young Southern gentleman will see it and be tempted to play with said football is to place an attractive nuisance before any innocent and unsuspecting young men, who, on visiting these sweet and demure young ladies, suddenly finds him self engaged in a strenuous game of football, in which he must par ticipate for the expediency of self protection," the complaint read. The plaintiff asked that the court order the defendant "to do more courting and less 'rassling' and to confine their athletic activities to repulsing the advances of SAE's, Sigma Nu's, and other such ver min", charging that: "Holding themselves out to the general public as an organization foi the development of the young womanhood of our fair state in re ality these young women conduct themselves as an athletic club and perform -in a imanner 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 Fie . . . which negligent and un lawful acts were the proximate cause of the damage to the plain tiff." Unfrocked lawyer Baker said to day that the fraternity will apply to the Will You Pleas court for the relief demanded if the defendant fails to answer the complaint with in 20 days. That's our pride and joy-build ing "C"-where students in win ter bring along an extra coat and a pot of coffee.

Music was furnished by Hired Hands and his orchestra. The ballroom was decorated in the fraternity colors, gold and orange. Goldenrod and poppiesi carried the color scheme to com-1 pletion. The fraternity sweetheart was announced at the ball. She is the glamorous Miss Dee leer from Snowflurry, Cal. She was crowned "Miss Candlelight Love" by Miss Igetha Pinnes, the fraternity sweetheart last year. Before the dance a cocktail party was held at the home of Hugo Hangover for fraternity I brothers and their dates, and alumnae. During intermission a drop-in was held at the home of another member of the fraternity, Frank -ce Spiking, for actives, and their dates.
