Ad Chevrolet I Agamn' Kappa Alpha Annual Rites Begin Today By Allen Savltz Special Writer Kappa Alpha gentlemen and their ladies will give rebirth to the Old South this week end as the social fraternity's members from all over the two Carolinas convene in Columbia for the sixth annual Old South Ball. Festivities for the gala occa sion begin Friday night with the Sharecropper's Shindig. Clothing for the event will consist of any thing from blue-jeans and straw hats to overalls and tee shirts.

Increase In Ceremonies Various campus groupr at Geor gia Tech took action recently to stop an increase in fraternity public pre-initiation ceremonies. Inter-Fraternity Council president said that this is the type of thing fraternities should he striving to avoid. When something like this happens, he said, it reflects "not only on the guilty fraternity, but on the whole fraternity system as well." -The Technique IE IN NOW WINNING DEAL IE CIIAMPIONI idemnark )eale r 4 .Jhe Carot4na By Chick Young Enjoying themselves at the Phi Kappa Sigma formal last Friday night at the Columbia Hotel were Becky Crawford and Jack Hale, Barbara Lewis and Bill Thomas, Mary Savage and Ray Thomas, and Camilla Philson and John Humphrey.

Everywhere I went I heard this same cry. (Indeed, at one university I found 15,000 students jammed in the field house chant ing it a cappel/a.) Ilut I am bound to say, dear friends, that you are wrong. Your faculty advisor does care about you. The trouble is, he doesn't know you. And no wonder! How do you expect him to know you when you see him once or so a semester? Get to be friends with your faculty advisor-like, for example, Alpine R. Sigafoos, a sophomore in timothy and silage at Texas A. & M. Alpine R. Sigafoos appeared one night in the living quarters of his faculty advisor ( whose name, by a curious coincidence, was also Alpine R. Sigafoos). "Good evening, sir," saidl St udent Sigafoos. "I am come so that you may get to kniow~ me better and thus help me solve the vexing problems that trouble me." f, 11, 4' e tis. hepcss "And what are those t hree packages you are carry ing?'" asked Advisor Siga foos. "'This,'' said Student Sigafoos. holding up the first of the three packages, "is a carton of Philip Morris Ciga rettes, wvhich come in long size or regular, and without wvhich I never stir. It is, sir, a smoke beyond compare full of fresh, natural, unfiltered flavor that delights the taste, salves the poul, and t urns the whole world into one long vista of peace and greenery. Try one, sir." "Thank you," said Advisor Sigafoos, lighting a Philip Morris Cigarette, lie l)uffed appreciatively for an hour or two andl then saidl, "And what is in the other packages you are carrying?" "'I am rather a c'omplex fellow,"' said Student Sigafoos, "andl I don't exp)ect that you will get to know me in a hurry. So," he said, holding up his second pack age, '"I have brought my bed-roll." "I see," saiod Advisor Sigafoos, not entirely pleased. "And wvhat is this third package?" "Well sir, I kniow~ that occasionally you will be busy with other matters an,d will there'fore b)e unable to spend time with me. So I have brought along my gin rummy partner, Walter M. Hlandzlik." In the next twvo years Advisor Sigafoos, living cheek by-jowl with Student Sigafoos, got to know all of the lad's personality traits, his hopes, his fears, his drives, his quirks, his asp)irations. At the end of that time, armed with true undlerstandling, Advisor Sigafoos con cluded that Studlent Sigafoos's basic trouble was that he .was not really college material. So Advisor Sigafoos got Studlent Sigafoos a job with the Nor'th Star' Hockey PukCrprto w'here today he is headl of the l)uck-pack ing (deparit ment and a happy man. Advisor Sigafoos is happy too, le has time again to pursue his studies of Trichohat rach1us robuntu~s, the hairy frg At night he plays gin rummy with Walter M. * Max shulman, 195'7 Our advice to sftinenta-and~ to faculty too and to anybody el..
