CAN UNDERCLASSMEN BE RESPSONSIBLE? Should underclassmen he allowed to date with any of their friends? A question for debate, yet the rules of the school say that an underclassman must date with an upperclassman or a U.D.L. girl. Last year the BELLES put forth an effort to get a U.D.L. list and did so. This year it has been found that, due to the limited numher of U.D.L. girls, un derclassmen still have a very hard and confusing time finding gilds to sign out with. Therefore, the BELLES is making a second at tempt. Why? In the first place upper classmen make plans to go with their own crowds to various functions. For them it is no problem, for they can date alone or with their own friends. With underclassmen, it’s a different story. They can’t make dates with out being sure that they will have someone approved with whom to date, and oftentimes they have to de cline invitations at the last minute because the plans of the “approved jiarty” change. Furthermore, upper classmen are hesitant about telling an underclassman she can sign out with her because she never knoivs exactly what she will do or where she will go, and the underclassman is definitely expected to stay with her. This puts her in an embarrass ing situation, because she doesn’t know exactly what to say. Of course, it’s different wdien there is an organized jiarty and the two girls make plans to go together, but, as a general rule, this isn’t true. Then, too, it’s simply impossible for an underclassman to make a date at the last minute, for the U.D.L. girls are already “taken up.” So, what can he done ? Saint Mary’s has had the rule made for double-dating for the underclass men’s own protection, hut it seems as if they would he just as safe and a lot happier if they could he allowed to date with their own friends. It would save a lot of embarrassment for upperclassmen who dislike to de cline an underclassman’s reqnest; also, underclassmen can date with their friends and learn to he a little more responsible' besides.

Diamond, ruby, and pe ^ studded pins representing ® j fraternities as Pika, KA, liaf' tf Thursday morning in assembly the Saint Alary’s students displayed a shocking case of bad manners. The lateness in arrival of the students, the noise during Air. Broughton’s talk, and the attempt to leave before dismissal of assembly all seem to show that the students do not know how to behave properly. The assem bly programs have been carefully planned so that the student will en joy them and profit from them, and Air. Broughton and the other speak ers have tried to make their talks interesting and helpful. We should show our appreciation of this by being respectful and considerate in assembly. Not only the speaker, but also the program chairman deserves our consideration. Assembly is not dismissed until the chairman dis misses it, and it begins promptly^ at 10 ;40. If we will give our attention to the assembly program and show' respect for the program and the speakers, w'e will find that our as sembly programs are very interest ing ; also, W'e wall show ourselves and others that Saint Alary’s girls do have good manners. A. Shocked New Student Collitch'' Offers Advantages No End There is absolutely nothing like a collitch education. Among the many advantages offered to siveet young things in this Atomic Era is the privilege of attending dances. To some girls a dance is, Avell, a dance, but to others it is an occupation that puts other ac tivities w'ay back in the shade. Alighty are the preparations at Saint Alary’s when a dance is to be held at a school w'ithin a radius of five hundred miles. Somebody else is going, which aBvays de tracts from your glory, w'hether the fete be at Carolina, Princeton, or Podunk Commercial School. The invitation is the starting signal, although there are numer ous preliminaries involved in, get ting the invitation, w'hich is an other story altogether. On the Alonday morning pre ceding the dance w'eek-end, Aliss Brow'll sells notebook paper by the gross. After all, lists must be made. There are clothes lists, matching lists, arrangements lists, and even “possible breaks” lists. Then, there are “don’t forget lists” and complications lists that take up a great deal of time and occasionally even replace calen dar making in class. By Friday the roommate is shoved out in order that the lucky girl may pack, running frantically about borrow'ing things she “might need and better take just in case,” w'hich is a waste of time because she never does. After all the fun of packing, leaving, arriving, and going to the dance; post week-end remark: “Y’all, it w'as w'onderful. AYE got there just in time to hear the last three bars.” There is the endless task of collecting souvenirs for the scrapbook, remembering mes sages, and getting back to school on time, w'hich makes you ask, “Was it w'orth it?” to which we all repljq “You bet it ivas!” Chi, Sigma Nu, and Chi Phi been spotlighted.
