Sponsored by the YM-YWCA and the Department of Bible and Re ligion, this program has a discus sion of several items in the news from a Christian viewpoint. There are' three Freshman Friendship Clubs with about 20 members in each. These are: "Dou ble R's" meeting on Tuesday's at 5, "Spokes" meeting gn Wednes day at 4, and the "Wheels" meet ing on Wed-esday at 5. These are periods of discussion and fellow ship. Each month one group is re sponsible for the programs, one group is responsible for sending cards as reminders, and one group is responsible for general publicity and refreshments at the meeting for all freshmen on Thursday nights. The purpose of these is to give an opportunity for closer friendships. The programs are varied and informal; they range from taffy pulls to speakers and field trips. Freshmen can join any of the clubs which meets at a time convenient for them.

High up on the list of fashion trends, Bermudas look casual and neat, on the right people. It takes smaller knees and trim calves to ' wear Bermudas to their best. ad vantage. - Other sportswear should not be forgotten, in the midst of the "Bermuda rage." If you look bet ter in pedal pushers, wear them by all means. They conceal large knees, and if they are long enough, slenderize the legs. "Ranch pants" are being worn a great deal at other universities and have recently been introduced at the University of South Caro lina. These "ranch pants" are shorter than slacks, longer than pedal pushers, and are tapered like toreador pants, with little buttons or other trim running up each side for about three or four inches. They have no cuff and are well-tailored to fit. Ranch pants look very good on medium anktall girls and add height to shafter girls. Shirt blouses are worn success fully with Bermudas, pedal push ers, or ranch pants, as are sweaters (cardigans and pullovers). Small collars adorn many slipovers worn with Bermudas and ranch pants. Knee socks and blazers are also worn with Bermudas. Blazers can be ordered through sororities with the sorority crest on the pocket. Tennis shoes or loafers can be worn with these sports clothes, also. Small plaids and solid colors seem to minimize size, and bright, large plaids and lighter colors make one look larger. 1arefoot Boy Wih Cheek," ot.)
