NORMA BERGMAN, Society Editor Noelle Kennedy June Presnell . . . a spoke a week . . . By NOELLE KENNEDY Now that the volcanic dust of Registration Week has settled into the tidal mud, (like Saturday night) of rampant studying, we will attempt to resume our "weekly" decipher ing of the Campus news. ANN MacAFEE, Z'I'A, and JUNE PRESNELL were guests at a reception given Generals Pepper and Horner at the Parris Island Recruit Depot, Parris Island, over the holidays. The KD's had a house party between semesters. Attend ing were girls, dates, and chaperons, averaging 76 people. They invaded four houses. DAVID JOHNSON, RICHARD MONCKTON, SAE's, visited Charleston, Pawley's Island, and other points on the east coast (luring the holidays. RAYMOND McELVEEN descended upon Charleston, and so did DICK RUSH. The KD's had a drop-in on Sunday night from 8 to 9. About 300 people attended, including faculty members. Of note during recent weeks are the new, "original" hair-dos, sported by any Co-ed with hair. Most significant is that one of "No Name," by CYNTHIA CLOYD. "LEO," the cat, SAE mascot, has returned after a week's spree. He spent the holidays in Greenville. I hear they're offering a new course in "Catology" over in Le Conte, in case you're interested, Leo. JOHNNY JOHNSTON and MORGAN MITCHELL, SAE's, not of the feline phylum, spent a few days in Atlanta between semesters. IETTY RUTH HAYES and VIRGINIA ROGERS were pinned by Pi Kappa Phi's, BURT BENNETT and CHUCK SPANN, respectively. SAE's on the KD house party, helping to raise the nui ber of attendants to 76, were PHILLIP PINCKNEY, T-BOY ELLIS, and ELLIOTT WARDLAW. Pi Kappa Phi KEITII KINDRED gave SUE FUNDER BURK a diaiond, while CHARLIE I)RISCOIL married IIEI.EN HA RVIN. DZ, last week. ROSE REYNOLDS ascended to Norfolk last week, and then she descendedl to Johnston. RONNIE STREEM, IZZY LOURIE, PHIL GAR FINKEL, BILL NOVIT (gotta get his name in here), I. M.

Last of the news for the week are the Phi Sigs who traveledl to Charleston for the basketball game. They are BURR CHIAMBLESS, B. D. CAUGHM AN, ED LADD, TOM CAl-tR, CHUCK D)AVIDSON, CHARLIE H UGG;INS, TOM TALLEY, and PAUL PHILLIPS. Why doesn't somebody send in some more Hlierloglyphics to be translated into this obeliskick Column? If this lack of information continues much longer (shorter), The Wagon Wheel will disintegrate in its own sawdust. So, if it is to continue to turn, PLEEEEEZE send some bits of prose to Box 79 in time for the next issue. Let not the Campus live in ignorance.

Co-eds Learn Campus Gossip While Working Have you ever wondered who the girl is who calls your (late for you when you come to Sims? The an swer is not here, but here are some facts about these girls who act as date-caller. They work from 6:30 to 9:3( each night. On nights when there are basketball games or something else attracting the same amouni of dating, they may call betweer 50 and 60 girls in ten minutes Sound impossible ? It is done. In addition to answering the front door summons, they answei the telephone in Sims office. They call girls over the public address system when there is a long dis. tance call; they make announce. ments for girls about meetings books for sale, and whatever re quests are made. have you ever forgotten to sign out? Call the office and one of these girls will sign you out. Re striction is long but it is no fun either. Once on the job, they are there for the three hours with no substir tuting. It is not always the worl< that is hard; it is usually the monotony of it. Light is poor; toc poor for studying. But pity not these girls because they have their lighter moments. Calling the wrong (late can prove embarrassing. Girls with two dates in one night is a sad sight indeed, but it is amusing. They always know the latest gossip of who pinned whom and do not need to read the Wagon Wheel to find out who had parties the past week. This job helps to develop a good memory for names. Where else could you be expected to remember three or four different names for :30 seconds and then receive three new names of girls to be called ? Then there is the girl who comes down for her (late half an hour late and wants to know "where is my date sitting?" "My date" isn't much of a description but the "door-keeper" will obligingly go to check the males waiting ner vously in the lobby. Then there is the stranger who wants to know if she has been buzzed yet. She may or may not have been, but who knows?

Panhellenic Forms New Rtsh Rules For Sororities Informal rushing will be estab lished at the university by the Pan hellenic council, according ' to Norma Bergman, president. The new ruling -passed at the last meeting will allow sororities with less than thirty members at the conclusion of formal rushing to rush informally for thirty days immediately following rush week any coed enrolled at the university as long. as the coed has a 5.000 average. A sorority rushing in this fashion will be allowed to pledge as many girls as they can, up to the 45 limit on membership. Plans for an early rush week are currently being made by the coun cil. Coeds seeking information about rushing should contact a member of the council. Stunt Night for the coeds will be held and sponsored by Pan hellenic in the spring. A cup will be given to the sorority with the best skit. Continuing the project of danc ing with the soldiers in the Ft.
