Sigma Chi Derby Weekend Mud in your eye dirt in your face. Anyway, it ' s a mess. Volumes have been written concerning the eccentricities of the American female. Why does she do this? Why does she do that? No one knows. Yet once a year, a partial answer reveals itself. Why does a coed refuse a dinner date with her favorite beau ? Why does a sorority decline an invitation to play hostess for your Spring Rush Weekend? Why does the entire Panhelle nic population suddenly go com- pletely berserk? The answer is obvious . . . it ' s Derby Time. It ' s Sigma Chi Derby Weekend. The high- light of the sorority season. No formals. No banquets. No flowers. Just potato sacks, tug- o-war, and pies (both mud and custard ). But the girls love it! For them it ' s the country fair, a three-ring circus, and the entire intra- mural season rolled into one big day. And when it ' s all over, one of them will be Derby Queen (and get a trophy); and several of them will have won individual events (and also get tro- phies). Then they stop throwing mud, stop tugging on ropes, stop racing down the field in potato sacks, and go back to Rush Weekends, formals and dinner dates. But next year the same thing will happen again, so get used to the cycle as long as there ' s a Sigma Chi Derby. This girl got a free sample of shaving cream, but who wanted it ?

Art Mooney and his band play a few tunes for the Spring Frolics crowd. Even without makeup they ' d all be winners. Twice each year (at least) the co-ed turns away from the routine of coffee-dates, movies, and an occasional bout with the books. One of these two occasions is Spring Frolics. In the company of her best beau and to the music of the nation ' s top bands, she is waltzed (or bopped i away on a Cinderella weekend of social life. On such weekends even if her date is the winner of the annual King Ugly contest, the co-ed is literally queen of all she surveys. And if the weekend is over all too soon, there is always the knowledge that another Frolics is due in the Fall. 13
