26 Foreign educators arrive . . . trouble had not yet broken out in the Suez. A group of well-meaning students made them welcome. College officials expressed pride that State was one of the few colleges selected in the U. S. to host professors from across the sea. Chocolate drops were dumped in dainty dishes, interior decorating efforts were stepped up, and all was made ready for that important object . . . the male. The pleasantness of masculine and feminine giggles and chatter reverberating throughout the halls, rooms, nooks and crannies, brought back fond memories of home where men and women exist together in peace, without scandal. Hail to the French cus- tom where both sexes live in the same dorm. On second thought .... A tea party in the parlor has a guest trying to crook his little finger into the hole in the teacup handle . . . the cookies beautiful, but not so filling. At the first strain of the dependable phonograph, hos- tesses and guests thundered down to Wecota cafeteria, scene of the Open House Hop. The stag line, enormous, the women were happy. Open House . . . fun.

With a theme of Autumn Leaves, and the brisk, warm you up music of the Collegiates, girls rummaged through the phone book, conjured up courage, rum- maged through the phone book, talked it over with their roommate, rummaged through the p hone book, and finally got their dates for Theta Sigma Phi ' s Sugar Bowl Hop. First big dance of the year, and girl ask boy. A record breaking crowd turned up, not unusual for this type dance. The first of three chances, or girl ask boy dances of the year. It ' s not formal, just best dress, and another unusual twist for a big college dance, there is no royalty. Tantalizing autumn leaves swirled from the ceiling and real tree branches. Every man had to get one to grace his date ' s bulletin board ... so the roof came tumbling down ... no one was injured. A freshman strikes a dramatic pose, displays talent. Judy Assam, dancing girl, wins first in audience approval. Jim Fourier makes like Elvis, guitar and all, but what about the Cadillacs? COEDS CHOOSE AT SUGAR BOWL TIME 25

When initiation rules are first slapped the idea that Blue Key is blind. Among on the Frosh, they, at least we suppose, they, are taken very seriously. Alas, time heals many wounds ... so it goeth with initiation. Soon some bright eyed young chap becomes impregnated with the masses, who can keep track of the beanied or beanieless newcomers? Heh, heh, heh, insignificant, yes . . . not that much so . . . Blue Key pounces. 27
