Plans for French
Play Halted
Plans for the French Play, to
he given by Beta Pi Theta, have
been halted for awhile. It is not
certain that the fraternity will
give a play at all since the cast
IS incomplete. However some
other form of entertainment will
be substituted, if the play is finally
decided against.
The president is busy outlining
courses for a more constructive
program to be given during this
next semester. This is to be done
m connection with national head-
^narters and probably with the
Fi ench Class at the higdi schools
in Charlotte.

twenty-five dollars or more. These
terms ought to “hit the spot,”
for pretty soon the Sophs will

luncheon, and the Freshmen will
be m the same fix about their
Junior breakfast. So both of the
classes ought to go out in droves
and work in earnest. It means
that much money for their treas
ury.
Fiances Kornegay has sugges
tions for the places to get ads and
will gladly give these to anyone
who comes and asks her for them.
