Omega Chi opened the new year
with thfir initiation program. Red
and white beanies with the greek

worn by the pledge.'; during this
week. Wo believe this to be a first
on the ACC campus. After the Fri
day night ritual program, all the
sisti.Ts of Omo;;u Chi enjoyed a
barbecue supper at Parker’s.
The M’C(jnd annual ring dance

our brother fraternity, did a swell
job as Ma.ster of Ceremonii;s dur

The entertainment included the
Journeymen, who .sang a few num

equally well in singing a variety
of numbers. During this intermis

background music.
Couples honored at the dance
were Martha Raye Dawson and
Bill Boswell; Dfjris Jenkins and
Elliott Darby; Beverly Riggs and
Ivey Heath; Peggy Tetterton and
George Strickland, and Betty Bain

Joe Davis and his orchestra pro

Omega Chi will lose two of its

come the bride of 'Tex Boswell,
former student at Atlantic Chris

event. Mr. Boswell’s parents are
now making their residence in
Alaska. Kay is transferring. With
this, we say, “We’re sorry to see
you leave us, girls, and hurry back
to see us.”
Delta Sigma Holds Pledge Feed
A feeling of mixed emotions fill
ed the members of Delta Sigma,
as ten pledges became ten mem
bers of the sorority. Tlie Delta
Sigma banquet was held at the
Ship N’ Shore recently.
liie sisters realized that they
would now have to take their own
trays in the Dining Hall and clean
their own rooms. The pledges re
alized that no longer would they
have to worry about wearing their
colors and addressing the sisters
as Miss.
After the ritual each pledge was
presenti-d with a sweater inscrib
ed with Delta Sigma.
The new members are anxious
ly awaiting the next volleyball
game so that they may wear their
new sweaters.

ulty members will post their
grades as quickly as pos.sible af
ter the completion of an examina
tion sii that students will be able
to learn the outcome of their fall
semester's work.
Drop - add period for the spring
semester will run from January
28 to February 8.
In discussing academic proba
tion, Dr. Cutlip disclosed that there
are about 60 ACC students on
academic probation at the pres
ent time. Many of these students
are barely on probation, he ex
plained. and it is hoped that they
will make up enough deficit of
quality points to remain in school
for the spring semester. He said,
however, that there are several
bad cases and that probably some
students will have to be dismissed
because of academic shortcomings.
He said the number is far be>-
low that of the spring semester
last year when there were between
90 and 100 students on probation
and 60 of them had to be suspend
ed.
Dr. Cutlip said there would be
several new students enrolling at
the college for the spring semes
ter and that several students who
have been enrolled at ACC in pre
vious years will re - enroll for the
spring term.
Delta Sigma stiU has a few di
rectories left. Anyone who wishes
to buy one may purchase them
from any member of the sorority.
We would like to congratulate
Linda Westbrook on her recent
honor as attendent in the Miss
Pine Knot court.
We would also like to congratu
late Henrietta Hood on her recent
engagement.
Sigma Tau Chi, like the other
sprorities on campus, drew the
pledge program to a close with the
formal initiation on Saturday night,
when thirty - four girls became
members.
These thirty - four girls present
ed a talent show to tbeir soon-to-be
sisters on Friday night. The show
consisted of musicals, dance rou
tines, and plays. Just to give an
example of what happened, Mary
Rose Parnell gave her own version
of ‘‘16 Tons,” which read like this:
Some people say a pledge is made
out of steel.
Their mind can think but their
body can’t feel.
Iron and steel and Hickory Tree
Frowns and gripes from 8 til 3.
I You struggle many full hours and
what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in
debt.
You pay your dues in this and
that;
Then for 24 days, your billfolds
flat.
I was born one morning when it
was cloudy and cool.
I picked up my paddle and headed
for school.
I wrote 94 names on the paddle
roll, and the sisters said, “Well
Bless my soul!”
You struggle many fuU hours and
what do you get?
Cuts and bruises and dirt and
sweat.
I’ve got two black eyes and can
hardly walk.
When I turn my back, then comes
the talk,
I’ve got 55 brothers and 64 sisters
Half of them misses and half of
them misters
The last day’s over and I start for
the door
My head’s a ringing and my feet
are sore.
I’ve pledged two whole months,
My sisterhood is made.
But I still have my dues that have
to be paid.
You struggle many full hours and
what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in
dept.
I’ll go to St. Peter but I just can’t
die.
I gotta come back to Sigma Tau
Chi.
Sigma Rho Phi has joined in
competition with the City and the
State in the sale of automobile
tags. The fraternity is selling au
tomobile tags which read “V^it
Atlantic Christian CoUege, Wdson,
North Carolina.” They went on
sale Tuesday. They are white let
ters on a blue background, whicli
are the school colors, "piis project
serves a dual role. First, it wiU
help to publicize ACC and second
it will help the fratermty to raise
money to become affiliated with a
national fraternity. All Students
are urged to purchase these tags
for their cars at a price of one
dollar each. They can be purchas-
ed from any member of the fra
ternity.
Since returning from the Christ
mas holidays the members, both
old and new, are getting into the
act of intramurals and are making
a pretty good showing in the pr<>
gram. The fraternity has a Cham
pionship to defend in two ways
First and foremost, to promote
good sportsmanship, and to keep
the sign of Championship in front
of the house.
Plans are beginning to be made
for the annual Spring Banquet but
as yet, no definite date has been
set for the affair, which is expect
ed to be the biggest and best in
the history of Sigma Rho Phil
Claudette Saleeby Is Honored
As Outstanding Phi Sig Pledge
After a successful initiation
weekend, the most outstanding
pledge, picked by her sisters, was
presented a silver paddle with the
Phi Sigma Tau Greek letters on it.
This year the lucky girl was
Claudette Saleeby. Congratulations
to you, Claudette.
It seems that congratulations are
all we can hand out this week. Bet
ty Bain, Phi Sigma Tau’s candi
date for the Pine Knot Queen, was
runner - up. She also received a
diamond from Santa this year,
along with Doris Jenkins, Kack
Butt and Frances Howard.
Two of our sisters aren’t coming
back to Atlantic Christian next se
mester. Gloria Kirby and Em
Moore have d.ecided to become
career girls for a while. Sorry to
see you leave, and hurry back.
Just a small scoop from the girls
in the Phi Sigma Tau House—Bev
Edwards was seen in the kitchen
with an apron on for the first time
this year.

Sigma Alpha Praises Mr. Tait
With final preparations under
way Sigma Alpha continues its
work toward affiliation with Alpha
Sigma Phi, national fraternity. We
of Sigma Alpha are awaiting that
moment with great expectation.
Mr. Tait, faculty advisor for Sig
ma Alpha, has served well in this
capacity. His advice and com
ments have helped us in many
ways.
The Hogans are displaying their
leadership in the intramural pro
gram. After placing third in intra
mural football Sigma Alpha is hoi>-
ing to win the badminton cham
pionship. At this time it appears
to be certain.
In soccer Sigma Alpha seems to
have a fine team developing. The
lineup includes most of the crew
who participated in football.
