The ribbons of rhi Mu are white and ro.se. A national rite of the Sigma Kappas is the wearing of violet and maroon. Alpha Phi pledges sport the silver and bordeaux. The girls of the arrow Ti Beta rhi have the wine and silver blue pinned to their pledges. Delta Del ta Delta's wear silver and gold and blue. Delta Gamma girls may be recognized by their bronze, pink and blue ribbons. Kappa Kappa Gamma's ribbons are navy and light Mue, while the pledges of Alpha Omioron Pi wear red. An innovation on this campus is the scarlet red and olive green bows of Alpha Chi Omega. Crop grains of cardinal and straw be long to the pledges of Chi Omega. Sigma Delta Tau girls own rib bons of case au lait and old blue. In most sororities the custom of wearing ribbons is age old. Two, Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta, gave gold identification bracelets to their pledges. Both bracelets have the Greek letters of their sorority engraved on them. And the ribbons must be worn. Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Mu and Gamma Phi Beta extract penalties from their pledges when they fail to don their colors. In some cases extra duty must be done, while in others black marks are given to be erased by sweat of brow. The ribbons must be worn until the girls receive their pledge pins at the end of September or early October. Dear Friend: , The "O," the "Ah." and the "Isn't it marvelous," book lovers would have the college man going about quoting "immortal words," . 'undying phrases" and "golden sentences," the while reverently carry ing volumes of the classics from classroom to boarding house, to ath letic field, to arboretum, and to dormitory. But, my gosh, Joe ain't that kind of a guy! We have long been familiar with the poorly dressed tailor, the shoeless cobbler, the physician who is careless in his health habits and the carpenter who lives in a house having a sagging back porch. The college student does live with books all about him, does carry them from place to place each day, does spend hours reading in libraries and yet this same student is not especially bookish, that is, bookish, in the, "O my goodness," pattern or according to the "too sweet for words" tradition. Joe is a book lover and is bookish (in his own way) but don't ex pect him to get mushy about it. He does appreciate the creative per fection of those who lived and wrote during past centuries, but he also has faith and interest in living writers and in books that are still press damp. He does believe in libraries but he doesn't believe a library thould be a museum, and he is definitely influenced as far as bookish ness is concerned by the general condition of world affairs.
