FRATERNITY ET SORORITY Next Friday morning at 12:01 A, M., the students who have averaged 80% on the past semester's work will be eligible for mem bership in some fraternity or sorority. After due time, the ones receiving bids will accept or reject. This event is one of major im portance in the life of any student, and each candidate will choose of his own free will and accord, the group that he wishes to affiliate jwith. There will be a lot of rushing, a lot of facts have been mis represented ; it is, then, the duty of the one expecting a bid to be careful and inquire into the authenticity of these statements. Before accepting a bid from a Fraternity or Sorority, the student must realize that it costs money to run any kind of an organization. He should be sure that he is financially able to meet his part of the expenses. Fraternity or sorority costs are not alarmingly great; but each student should be sure that he isn't bringing too great a financial burden on the people sending him to school. The fact that you receive a bid assures you that each member fif that organization wants you to be their brother or sister, and that they will be brothers and sisters to you. But before you, go any farther ask yourself this question, “Do I want these men to be niy brothers and associates throughout the rest of my stay in college.'’' There are advantages and disadvantages at being a fraternity man (r sorority woman. Careful consideration should be given of every conceivable “pro” and “con” before accepting. The fraternity or sorority extending a bid to a student should place him in the balance and’ be doubly careful in judging him or her. There have been mistakes made. There are misfits in almost every fraternity or sorority, and these misfits are always known by every student on the campus. The matter of judging and choosing is at hand. Pick your fraternity or sorority carefully. Pick your men for your fraternity or sorority carefully. These men and women will be associated with you throughout the rest of your school life, and maybe in aftei life. You will either be glad to call them brother or sister on meet ing them, or you will shun or be ashamed of them when you meet. of those who have “the kingdom of God within” them.

We are to play a football game with the University of Miami. Out plavers are weaiing genial and con tagious smiles that presage victory; the i shock that followed our opening game, with State has been absorbed by the announcement that our team would get ■ to cliase the pig skin down in the ! Palmetto State. We are proud of our team, and we hope that victory will be their h.^bit from now’ and on. The grueling ordeals that our playen have to undergo will help them to meet. pnd grapple with the many perplexing problems that they will have to face ii. after life. But it takes only eleven nien to play the game. A few more make the squad, but the vast majority of students must stand o\ the sidf lines and yell to the eleven courageous men. All of which IS right and should bf gray so 1 encoui-aged. But there is another side jto college life.

It is logical enough to say that we dcintj^^^ undergo are tlie ones that rob me of wish to place the name of a disinterested alumnus on the mailing list, for all that he or she would do, would be to fling it into the ash can.
