The night before they had been out raising well-er-that is, they were having a good old time of it cele brating their successes. The Thi Gams had all their pledges out yelling and singing, as did the ATO's and Thi Pai s. Know what they are calling the Phi Gam boys these days? Sar dines. Sigma Nu Schofars. When we asked the Sigma Nus if there was any scandal ( ? ) about their pledges they said they got four Regent scholarship winners and that was indeed a scandal at he Sigma Nu house. Since everyone is interested es pecially in the pledges, what they went, and who they go with, we snooped around (via the telephone, tel-a -woman method) and here is what we found out. Phi Delt plebe Dick Chapin was out with Dodo Schwenkcr, Tri Delt pledge, who has the cute converti ble. Don Eeck, another Phi Delt, was one of many who took Mev Kennedy, Kappa, out. She must be a fun girl 'cause she goes with lots and lots of the cute new pledges, including one Homer Sheridan, Beta pledge. In fact. Mev had Homer's blue Mercury convertible Monday night and took the sisters riding while he celebrated with the brothers. Trio Rival? The popular Pi Phi trio has a prospective rival in Bill Scribner, Beta pledge. It seems that Bill is a regular jam session all by himself. He beats a mean drum and bass fiddle. Two Phi Delts have been giving two Kappas a big rush.

The Interfraternity party may or may not be formal. It is usually sort of a half and half af fair. The Mortar Board party, however, is a male's dream come true for that is the time when the treats are on the women. have been hitting it off and Jack Hupfer was seen with Dorothy Jean Browne. Incidentally, if the Stephens Su sies return to Nebraska one little girl will find Jack Dcvereaux, Kappa Sig pledge, awaiting her. Jack attended Kemper before he came here and went with her there. About an active. Maybe you are tired of hearing about the pledges so we 11 dis course on Bill Edwards, Beta ac tive, for a while. He has recently had dates with Betty Winn, Alpha Phi pledge, and Betty Hoff, Kap pa active. Both swell girls, too. At the YM-YW party Monday night Jean Simmons and Kenny Holland acted as chaperones (?) Jean is a Tri Delt and was Ivy Day queen. Mortar Board and PBK. She attended Harvard this summer. Certainly does seem good to see those familiar faces back on the campus. At the same party it was aid that Mrs. Houghton Furr will at tend Radcliff this winter with Jean Simmons. Mrs. Furr is better known as Marian Jones. Theta. Happy Couple. Another happy twosome is Mr. To Orient New Students ...
