Dottle Hardeman Toots Tenison Betsy Russell Fraternities Offer Chance In Governing Membership in fraternities at institutions of higher learning have given students rewarding experiences in self-government, Dr. John A. Krout, vice president and provost of Columbia Uni versity, told 1500 delegates to the 50th anniversary meeting of the National Interfraternity Confer ence in New York. Dr. Krout, who is a mmber of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, ap peared at the conference banquet in November at the Waldorf-As toria Hotel. College fraternity m e m b e r s have gained "an insight into the responsibilities than can never be separated from the privileges of self-government," Dr. Krout said. "They sense how powerful voluntary association can be in achieving a common objective. The administrative process in volved in managing a chapter house, within a balanced budget, is not to .be learned from the pages of a treatise on political science. "On a small scale, the frater nity system offers to its members experience in dealing with .the most persistent problem of fed eralism: t h e reconciliation of local autonomy w i t h central authority. The Initiate, however much inclined to indifference, can scarcely escape an awareness of the boundary lines which separ ate the powers of the local chap ters from such controls as the national organization may consti tutionally exercise. The chance to learn about (these matters) first hand in the fraternity pat tern cannot be overemphasized."

ILK COF E E SAND MANY CONVENIE ATIONS ON CAMI DISTRIBUTING 4 Christmas Not Really Mercenary By MARGARET SCOTT Soelety Editor Here it is holiday time again. The maddening rush of the sea son is pressing upon us as time grows shorter for shopping. What to buy, where to get it, for whom, and most of all, with what? Such is Christmas in America. The wheels of progress churn ever onward-moving so fast it nearly loses its creator and in stigator . . . man. Keeping up with this spinning globe is a full-time Job. What happens to Christmas in this parade of commerce? Is progress killing sentiment, joy, and love? Soipetimes it seems that way. But mankind isn't al ways as mercenary as he seems. A Hidden Heart Looking beneath the exterior shell that each one builds around himself, one finds a heart-most usually, a warm heart. It's hid den, to be sure. But why? In order to "fit in," to be ac -cepted, to avoid teasing, to seem "above all that" is the goal. It isn't really wrong to do this-or else everyone is wrong. As long as there's that warm glow in a heart within the shell, there is nothing wrong. There Is a Meaning Christmas means something to everyone-don't deny it. Whether its a chance to relax from stud ies, to have a whirlwind atmos phere of partying, to go home for a while, to see your old friends, or to appreciate the deeper religious significance, re gardless which it may be, there's a meaning in Christmas. Each to his own. Actually, it's a happy season carol singing, wrapping :presents, going places, eating fruit cake, enjoying a party . . . all in all, it really is a merry time of year. Commercialized? Perhaps. But not as much as it seems. After all it's only the feeling inside that counts. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Colorful Pincurls Add To Glamour For a pretty pathway to beauty, strew the trail with pin curl clips in colors to blend with your hair, your room's decor, or the shades of your "at home" clothes. Do-it-yourself hair set tings now have a glamorous touch right from the start with the aud of new color clips. When you wear these colorful aids to beauty, you won't mind half as much if someone catches you with your hair done up in pin curls in preparation for to morrow's trip to class or office or tonight's big date. The clips are available in shell, amber, crystal, black, blue and pink. Choose yours to match your robe, your study clothes, your dressing room color scheme, or your mood--or mix them in a gay rainbow. These plastic-topped, colored clips have all of the advantages of the regular steel ones-sturdy springs, convenient finger grips that never nick a nail or mar your enamel. Not to mention, of course, the fact that clips never crimp or crush hair, but give you smooth, long-lasting curls without a whisper of damage to hair structure. WICEES NT PUS 0..
