We enjoyed Margaret Thompson’s attractive guest, Bernice Dorsey of Forest City. Annette Bruton’s in teresting sister of Clarkton was also a bright spot on the campus. Margaret Holland tripped over to Mt. Holly for the day Sunday while Carolyn Pierce followed in her foot steps. Chi Omega We were ail very happy to wel come Mildred Sneeden and Sally Crosland as pledges in the Iheta Gamma chapter of Chi Omega last week. The pledging was conducted by our president, Eleanor Alexander, who has returned to school after her illness. We are so glad to have both her and Beebe McQueen back with us again.

Operas wliich are too far away for us to see, may be enjoyed right in our own rooms over the radio. An interesting note, especially in connection with the past two operas, is that several of the leading or sup porting roles are taken by North Carolinians. Outstanding a m o n g these young singers are Norman Cor don, Lucille Browning, and Helen Olheim. The first two arc from North Carolina while the last is a frequent visitor to Charlotte. All of them have ai)pcared frequently in the Saturday Matinee Broadcasts, (Norman Cordon was excellent in “Aida” this past week) and they will no doubt he feat ured in more of the matinee broad cast. On the 17th of February, another concert of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra will be given under the di rection of Mr. de Roxlo. The great artist will be Fernanda Doria, who will sing “Mors et Vitae,” which was written by Mr. de Roxlo. Many (Queens girls are exiiected to be pres ent at this concert.

Convenient Kitchen Utensils Attractive Room Appliances 428 South Try on Street Phi Mu Congratulations to Dot Duckett who is now a full-pledged Phi Mu. Initia tion is fast speeding toward many of the other pledges, too, and we can hardly wait. Among those enjoying the Davidson Dances are Jane Rankin, Helen Westerfield, Betsy Springer, and oth ers. Lucy Harman, however, has gone to Clemson for their Mid- VV'^inters. Billie Harmen has been in vited to the Mid-Winters at Wake Forest the week-end of Feb. 25. The feed last Sunday night was a huge success, what wdth the excel lent food prepared by Dot Alexander and Mimi Bradham, along With Sarah Thompson’s delightful. songs. Peggy Sloop, an alum, was among the guests that night. Best of luck to Eleanor Jenkins and Mitty Ivowrance, who have started practice teaching at Central High. The re-decoration of the house is now complete, and it’s so lovely that we want all of you to see it. We know vou’ll be as thrilled over it as we are. that receive no booking in the large theaters as their sole appeal lies in tlie artistry of their composition. Such j)ictures fis “Mayerling,” “Moonlight Sanata,” “I>es Perles de la Couronne,” and “Life of Beeth oven,” will be jiresented at the Visu- lite 'I'heatre. The plan is to form a Forum ])resenting five films of this type for $1.00, payable in advance. Regular admission will be 25c. The first presentation was “Mayerling” with Charles Boyer and Danielle Dar- rieu.x on February (i, 7 and 8 followed by “Moonlight Sonata” with Pader ewski on March 13, II and 15. Spectator Club On every college campus, there are a number of activities which offer cultural advantages to its students. Queens is very fortunate in having a great many organizations, one of the most important of which is the Spec tator Club. This club is divided into three groups: The Book Tea Group, the Dramatic Group, and the Creative Writing Group. . One of the greatest aspects of cul ture is one’s ability to discuss and criticize the latest books. The Book Tea Group encourages its members to read every worth-while, available book. At each meeting, a book, such as The Yenrliny or AU This And TIem'en Too, is reviewed by one of the members. Then the entire group takes part in a discussion. In this way students become acquainted with many good books. The Dramatic Group studies plays and presents several during the year. A member who attends regularly ac quires a certain amount of poise and eloquence of speech. Just as the Dramatic Group teaches eloquence of speech, so the Creative Writing Group allows one to develop eloquence in writing. Oftentimes, in writing poems, essays, and themes, a student may develoj) an individual style that will remain with her the rest of her life. To any girl who seeks culture along with knowledge, the Si)ectator Club offers unusual opj)ortunities. Columbia University has a new course in angling as a part of its “cam}) leadershii)” curriculum. Kappa Delta On the whole. Kappa Delta has had a rather uneventful week, but we do have a few things to tell you: “Cookie” Scoggln left last Thurs day morning for Lexington, Virginia. While there she attended the “Fancy Dress Ball” at Washington and Lee, and from all reports, we know she must have had a wonderful time. Frances Riddle and Alice Barron spent the week-end in Culumbia, S. C., with their parents. Lib Erwin, Margaret Harden, Nancy Walker, Olivia Gillespie, Olive Croswell, Dove Venning, “Lib” Tay lor, Judy White and “Lil” Sample went to the skating party given last Friday night, by the Young People of the Second Presbyterian Church. Alene Long and Jane Kirkpatrick of Charlotte were guests at the “feed” Sunday night. Pedie Burke, a last year’s pledge, was married at her home in Free man, West Virginia, Saturday after noon, to Hampton DeJarnette. They will make their home in Princeton, W’est Virginia. Tiny Waddill, Nell Abott, Kat Curran, and Dot Muse are attending the Mid-Winter dances this week-end. Chi Omega Tea The 'I'lieta Gamma chajiter of Chi Omyga sororit.v gave a lovely tea Fri day afternoon at the sorority house in honor of the patronesses of the chapter. Newly elected patronesses are Mrs. A. A. McGeachy, Mrs. Edgar G. Gammon, Mrs. W. B. Hodge, and Mrs. J. J. Akers. Others are Mrs. W. H. Belk, Mrs. J. C. Crowell, Mrs. O. L. Barringer and Mrs. W. Myers Hunter. Other special guests at the tea in cluded Mrs. Warren H, Booker, Mrs. James M. Godard, Mrs. Virginia Miller Agnew and Miss Margaret Van Devanter. The sorority house was attractively decorated with howls of narcissi and forsythla. During the afternoon, a tea-course was served, and the soror it.v members sang a grouj) of Chi Omega songs. Our Co-Ed I guess you’ve heard Orson Well’s ])rogram on “T'hings To Come”, and about the terrible earthquake in Chile; but how trival these all seem when you stop to think about “our Co-ed.” You’ve dreamed of riding away with .vour knight in shining armor on a white steed, and I suppose you could even imagine “him” as the knight (?). I started out to write about “him” with great expectations, but I have just about reached my wits end. When it comes to being elusive, Katie Hepburn and Garbo had best look to their laurels; honestly. I’ve never seen any one person so hard to find something about as “Our Co-Ed.” After inquiring at the office, I was still in the dark because they had no record of his name. He isn’t so dumb because he comes to school at 8:30 on Monda.vs, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Alpha Delta Pi Yvonne Williams’ birthday party at Betty Carr’s Saturday night was en- jo.ved hv Marguerite Craven, “Pug” Russell, Marjorie Rus.sell, Nina Brown, I.,lb Walters, and Dot Myers. Yvonne and Lib’s parents came and spent the week-end with them. Snoodle Mattheson went to Wofford to the Kappa Sig dances with For rest. She spent Saturday night at Converse with Jean Miller. Marjorie Russell and Marjorie Timms both went home for the week end and Nina and Lulu went home for the day Sunday. We had a most exciting feed Sun day night. Our guests were Mrs. Agnew, Miss Peggy Dunlap, Jo Long, Betty Baker, Ruth Archer, and El liott McCormick. Betty came out to tell the sisters that she was getting married. We hate to see her go so far from home to live, but lie’s so nice, we know Betty is going to be happy. Annie Mae Brown was repledged Tuesday night and after the service, the Big Sisters gave a party for their Little Sisters. Anne Cromartie went home Wednes day to her brother’s wedding. Jo Long spent last week-end with Margaret Jager and Catherine. She is here doing practice teaching at Dilworth School. Trip is going home an awful lot these days. Do you suppose she is homesick or is there an interest there? Katherine Martin went home for the week-end. She missed all the excite ment of seeing Betty off and was she mad! and everyone’s far too sleepy to notice liim much. I gathered from one of his class mates that he’s a “whiz” at chemistry. (By the way, he’s taking Advanced Chemistry, and seems to know all the answers.) I caught a glimpse of him one Monday morning, consequently, it may not be very authentic, but at any rate he was average size, (no All American) dark hair (not any too thick in places (a nose just a little on the long side) and above all he had on glasses. Perhaps this was just a reflection of my night—, er, dream the night before, but anyway, it’s something to start with. I don’t j)retend to be giving any “advice to the lovelorn,” hut from the looks on some of your faces, a hint to the wise would be sufficient. As far as 1 know he’s free, white, and twenty- one, and he j)robal)ly would look very nice in one of the parlors on Saturday night. Akron University students have a new rating for their professor—h.p.h. — (harumphs per hour). They’ve giv en their leather medal to Prof. Ross Stagner, for his record of 107 h.]).h. and l(i sniffs in one one-hour lecture.
