took second with impersonations and beauty. Zetas had the best house decorations among the sororities and also took high honors for having the homecoming queen in their lodge. The Kappa Sigs borrowed half the University farm, dumped it all on their front stoop, and walked off with first place among the frats. More lines when we boarded the specials for Little Rock and Memphis. Luckier band boys went out to California to see Betty Grable and get pr

Upperclassmen took lowly frosh under their wings and helped them make out class schedules. Talk ran amuck on the subject of hours, credits, and labs. Everyone compared schedules, groaning over eight o’clocks, planning afternoons when they would be free. Then we toed the line. Classes started, and transfers made their first sallies against the li¬ brary card catalogues, veterans avoided the li¬ brary entirely. All-nighters caught up on their sleep in class, then lost more sleep later trying to catch up on what they had missed — a vicious circle. In tl e afternoons lads and lassies had cheap dates strolling to Shuler or dividing their time between watching the Razorbacks work out and the intra-mural touchball games.

Lines of grads and interested townspeople toured the Hill on homecoming day to see the rain- delayed house decorations, then stood on Dickson to see the long line of the homecoming parade— chalk up one activity for Guidon. The Delta Gams copped first place in the float competition by staging a rough and tumble fight on their dec¬ orated truck, (which might have been an ill omen of rough and tumble things that were to happen after the game later in the day), and the Pi Phis

their pictures taken. Somewhere in obscure sec¬ tions of press reports it was alleged that the t m also went along to play Santa Clara. Nearly every organization on the campus lined banquet tables during the fall at the slight¬ est pretence, and long rows of students and visi¬ tors heard and saw the artists brought here by the Student Affairs committee. Occasionally, on a week-end, sporting lads managed to get out to the creeks to wet a line in search of “fishfood, mama.” Receiving lines were as long and tedious as ever at the dances. Stags were, as usual, unde- 44 r M SnHii uT m r .■m Un 1 1 1 ‘ 1 1 M ' i 1 ' ME W ' V rr il J 1 f- ' !i in M .1
