BROADWAY" Sigma Pi Alpha Initiates Members At the last meoting of the Mere dith ehaptcr of Sigma Pi Alpha, plans wore discusaecl for the initia tion of new members, in collabora tion with the State College Chapter. The initiation is to toko place De- cembev 2 in ike Hut. Following the business discussion, there was an instructive and interest ing social program, led by Alexandra Kambis and Evelyn Lnssalle. Alexondra Kambis, having lived in France for five years, told about many of the customs of French peo ple in contrast to oui* own. Contrary to popular belief, tlie French people, rather being more extreme in dress tha3i N’ortli Americans, are more con servative. They choose materials carefully, ond with an eye to prac ticalness, and generally Avear subdued coloi's, instead of the conspicuously bright colors which has become char acteristic of N’orth American college girls. Tailor-niadc clothes arc pre ferred by the French people rather than ready-made clothes. The French people eat in a more leisurely manner than we, and meals are characterized by their function as social niTairs. Breakfast usually consists of coffee, but ample time is given for the mid-day meal, which lasts from tw’eh'e o’clock until two. The same amusements are enjoyed in France as are hei-e in the United States—movies, books, magazines, newspapers, operas, sports. Although English, German and Italian films are sho^vn quite frequently, Ameri can films are preferred. The French differ from us in their enthusiasm for and emphasis upon sports, which are not as developed as they are here. "ICI ON PARLE FRANCAIS" The psychologists say that one learns to do by doing—and what bet ter place to learn than at the dinner table? For then is the time “to talk of many things, Ships and sails and sealing wax .zVnd cabbages and kings,” and that is just what is done at the French table, sponsored by Sigma Pi Alpha. Members of the French table are: Juliette Kambis Elizabeth Brownlee Frances Moore Gloria Watson Sue McNeely Catherine Barefoot Venita Pcnland (Incidentally, Spuonish students, take note nnd follow suit!) • 3r»(f>ixine SHl>Mcri|»tions — Commiis- slona earned before Christmas will go for two special projects; Friends of tliG librury and Idn Poteat Lotiii Fund.
