SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1945 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE FOUR Socially Speaking , Theo Strum, Doris Chandler, Betty Bob Stone, Hilda Malone, Flo Chand ler, Dorothy Folz, Fran Hayes, and Frances Gunter were off again last -week-end. This time to Mary War ren’s home in Staley. They seem to have had as good time as they al ways do together. With the help of hot dogs, Mrs. | Smith’s cake, a no-swimming and no- ! fishing sign, and one live dog, the Delta Upsilon Kappa party was held April 21 at Heritages cabin. Those at tending were Dot Holland and A1 Burlingame, Edna Rumley and Bob Foust, Frances Pegram and Casey Jones, Lib Holland and Ed Mulford, Dot Williams and Fred Chandler. Helen Morris and Jimmy Rumley, Pal Faulconer and Jim Looney, Kathy Young and Leon Hinton, Helen New- some and Lem Allen, Jessie Thurecht and Ronald Grinstead, Betty Benton and Jack Burch, Verdalee Norris, and Etta Hooper, a former Delta U now at Meredith. Faye Robinson spent the week-end with Leigh Flinchum in Carthage. Betty Blue a nd Sarah Harris at her home in Aberdeen for the week end. We know that what everyone is wishing Bonnie Davis is a speedy and j sure recovery. She is still in the ^ hospital in Burlington. j Dot Pierce and Virginia Powell went home to Sunbury last week-end. That’s close enough to Virginia to , make anyone happy. j Last but not least, we want to say | how much the Day Student party was enjbyed. You really can be proud, Day Students. njiw maroon and gold staff li JL Standing from left to right: H.

Does she have a delightful drawl? Then she must be Mary Ellen Mc- Cants, 5 feet 4 1-2, weighing 108 pounds and hailing from that para dise of the Southland (sez she!) An derson, South Carolina. A Remembr that day you took a test on French and hadn’t read the lesson for three weeks? If so, you know just how lost I feel right now sitting at this typewriter. I’m glad my knees are sheiking so; now if someone walks ill and hears the thumping, they’ll think I’m pecking on the typewriter keys. The little gremlin that’s forever pestering me is now informing my slightly empty brain (no one can say that but me) that the polite thing to do is to tell you how much I'm going to enjoy writing for you. But since I’m writing for and about you, I do want you to express your ideas and, by all means, make plenty of gossip, and when I say m“ake gossip,” I don’tm ean for you to let all the air out of someone’s tires and then say, “Well, she told us to!” By the way, ladies, if you want to Mary Ellen will graduate cum laude this May with majors in English and French. During her four busy years on campus, she has gained for her self national recognition in WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMER ICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COL LEGES, has served as feature editor and editor of the MAROON AND GOLD, secretary and treasurer of Pi Gamma Mu Honorary Fraternity, and has been a member of the Senior S. C. A. Cabinet for three years, the Electorial Committee of the Student body, and last, but not least to her, a member of the Tau Zeta Phi Sorority. This Southern belle likes to be babied, sleep late, loaf, day dream, and walk in the rain. ‘ More than anything in the world” she likes the MAROON AND GOLD; strawberry shortcake, the name “Mary,” peroxid- ed hair (on boys only), money; and the motto “Let me love you tonight” is tops with her. Dogs, stuffed ani mals, being broke, summertime, teach ing, and playing basketball are de testable in her estimation. Seems as though some of that print er’s ink is in her veins, so Ellie’s highest ambition is to be a writer something like her grandpop, Dr. El liot Crayton MicCants, author of his toric novels. “But that comes after I get my man.” about Capri—it’s absolutely the most wonderful place on earth. If I ex hausted ever poetic device I know it would still all add up to what you mean when you say something is “completely out of this world.” Spring had arrived in all its glory—the island ■'. as simply covered with flowers and fruit trees in full bloom and the sea ust couldn’t have been bluer. In any direction you looked the view was breath-taking. When Mrs. Harrison .Villiams (of Williams Shaving Cream fame) turned over her villa to OSS he left it just the way it was—as it vas when she was here for her sum- , :ners—complete with all her lovely I china, silver, furniture, even her ser- I vants. So 1 spent the most luxurious I 4 days on record—breakfast in bed ! .very morning, a little maid who wait- I d on us hand and foot, wonderful Ltds with real linen sheets and pale green blankets (nothing ever looked G.I.) and did we eat big thick juicy steaks! M|T. Patterson’s stories, however, were completely outshadowed by -■Cose, a young officer just out of a Vazi concentration came after many months. It was a real pleasure to see him call for seconds. “The other day some of us went to Fisa to take a look at the leaning tow er. We dropped by a little night club for allied officersa nd apparently we were the first civilian girls who had made an appearance in that region. Before the evening was over, 6 North Carolinians had joinedour party. Most of the hats in the checkroom were helmets and very few dress uniforms were in evidence. It was a totally dif ferent atmosphere from what we used to find back in headquarters. “Tell all my friends hello for me. Much love, WItSIE.” Open Forum I LIKE ELON Tom (he of the soft voice) Horner ;ame up to me the other day and asked how I liked Elon. It looks as if I can recommend Elon to other vets not only because it is a nice sciiool, but because of a lot of little things. What do I like about Elon? Well, there is the view from the front which should perhaps be in the back; the class rooms; and that spirit of com radeship—something that is some times sadly missing elewhere. I like the good humor of Lib Scog gins and Vallie Paige—I could listen to them all day. I admire the neat appearance of Myrtle Shepard; Don Miller’s generosity, and his “grouchy room-mate;” and the way Fred Reg ister plugs all the way, never quits, a man’s athlete; Mule Chandler’s Muscles, Danny Bank’s chuckle, and Peck’s “Bad Boy” Pass. Then their are the wonderful talks by Dean Bowden, Marie Garner's noise and Betty Blue’s cuteness. Cootie William’s spirit, and the way Coach Adcox gets in and plays hard with the fellows. I like chapel; the way Mary Coxe says “What would you like?” And Sarah Harris’s ma; Oh! There are a lot of things I like about Elon. But I think, most of all, it is the friendly atmosphere of campus life. —Eddie Mulford. Miss Wilsie Bussell Co. C., 2677th Reg., OSS (provisional) A.P.O. 512 care P. M. New York, N. Y. Dear — : If you could have followed me around since Christmas you’d under stand why I owe practically everybody letters. It seems to me that I’ve gone from one state of confusion to an other. At the end of January my roomie and I both got 5 days leave Have you noticed the striking re semblance of: Lucille Morgan to Bettie Davis? Florine Chandler to Laraine Day? Dynamite to Lassie? Fran Hayes to Ruth Hussey? Betty Benton to Faye Thomas? Nell Crenshaw to Joan Davis?

For Long. instance, there is the interesting story of why Marguerite Webster likes pea nuts, but then, who doesn’t like pea nuts’? Of course, Edna Rumley is in one easy lesson, as a result of one right there, and I sometimes wonder if she lies awake at night trying to prepare her recitation for the Day Students’ class the next morning. Dale seems to be walking on “thin air.” They say “curiosity killed the cat,” but I just couldn’t resist asking her where she managed to get an extra shoe stamp; but that isn’t all . . . Charlie’s coming home! We’re starting off the year with a bang with new officers. These are Bill Clapp, president; Thoms Hoff man, vice president: Faye Rickard, secretary; and Leon Hinton, treas urer.

It turned out very satisfactorily considering our limited amount of time. The day we went to St. Peter’s we stayed over to see the Pope and we got a big kick out of his inquiries as to our civilian status overseas. Shopping was almost out of the ques tion for our gov’t gal incomes but we spent a lot of time looking. We man aged to get around to most of the nightspots. Being in Rome was just like being in a different country. The city was much cleaner, more prosper ous looking, the people so much bet ter dressed than in our part of Italy. And staying in a modern hotel with heat and a bathtub was a treat in it self. “Back to headquarters and a couple of months of good steady work but also a great deal of gaiety after hours —dances almost every night—in Na ples, or Caserta, or at Yorrente (one When a guy like Bob Gaskins re- of my favorite spots in Italy).
