November dawned only too soon for some forty men being initiated into campus fra- ternities. It was in the wind that it was to be the last paddle happy, tazzed up Hell Week, and the wind blew true. The men went through their usual antics and were none the worse OH except for loss of much needed energy. As the men breathed free brotherly air at their formal initiations the last chapter in-the Hgood oll Carroll Hell Weeks was written and the book was closed. The Sig Ep formal, with all the fraternity formals, added 2. delightful entry to the social calendar. Dancing, often food, and all the men together with their dates made for a bright evening.

Frosty Fantasy, intetsorority formal, was held December 11 in the gym. The decora- tions were probably the most elaborate ever- various sized silver snowflakes painted by Jack Frost cast intricate shadows from the windows; a large tree sparkled from the middle of the floor; the bandstand stood in from of a large false front of a brick house with a large window with holly wreath, and stood in f1tu piles of snow; Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe dispensed refreshments for thirsty dancers. Bob Richards played for the affair from which everyone came with glowing reports . This year saw a great change in the traditional Hell-Week activities which usually pre- cede the initiation of new ac- tives into sororites. Always before painted faces and out- landish costumes have been the order of the day. This year, because of new Pan- Hellenic ruling, Hell-Week will be in comparison very mild. In its place will be a work week, designed to let the pledges know they are going through and at the same time meet Pan-Hellenic standards. Page Twenfy-four
