For Sorority Row
FITIIIS week tlio lire! slop was taken in preparation
| for u fraternity-sorority row at the University.
The atop wus taken by Mrs Ellen P. Rhodes,
dean of women, who for many years has been inter
ested In establlshlnK a sorority row for University
women. The Red and Black offers its congratula
tions and promise of support In any efforts she may
undertake toward tills worthy goal.
Now If the men will get busy and stir up some in
terest in u fraternity row there Is a very strong pos
sibility that when the Board of Regents meets in
March some definite steps will he taken toward the
immediate building of new houses for fraternity and
sorority members.
A Perpetual Problem Child,
The University Hand
J UST what IS wrong with tho University Band?
This (s a question we have been mulling over in
our mind for some time and us yet we have not
been able to reach any definite conclusion.
It must be admitted that there is something defi
nitely wrong, for other institutions of higher learning
not as large ns the University have much better
batula'nnd ones which (he student bodies are proud
of. Does the fault He in the members of the bund,
in the equipment, in the director, In the discipline, or
in the general attitude toward the hand?
Under the present set-up tile hand Is composed of
freshmen and sophomores, who play in the hand in
lieu of taking military science, and juniors uud
seniors who receive remuneration from the Univer
sity for their efforts. The majority of these stu
dents receiving pay are members of one of the two
campus orchestras and they are required to play In
the band before they are eligible to belong to an or
chestra. Thus they get pay from both the hand and
tho orchestra.
The equipment Is furnished by the military de
partment and the University. There are sufficient
Instruments for all wishing to play in the hand and
there are also enough uniforms—such us they are.
It Is doubtful, however, if new and brighter uniforms
would Improve the sound of the music rendered by
the band.
Three times a week, in addition to the regular
Wednesday drill period, tlie hand meets and re
hearses classical music which very seldom reaches
the ears of anyone except those passing the military
building during rehearsal time. And we are not
overlooking tho fact that the hand rendered several
concerts last spring.
It can hardly be said thnt the band is a military
unit for up until a few weeks ago the hand had not
been taught even the rudiments of military drill.
The Ignorance of military knowledge is perhaps dem
onstrated best by aa incidence which recently oc
curred when a member of the hand, a sophomore, ad
dressed the Professor of Military Science and Tac
tics at the University as Sergeant Mann. Discipline
is another thing that is seriously lacking in the hand.
Another question which has occurred to us is—
why is the hand forced to play at athletic events
when the athletic department has no connection with
the military department and when the athletic de
partment offers no reward to the band members—
not even a prohiise of a letter or a Jersey?
Perhaps one of the main and underlying reasons
for the sorry band is the attitude adopted by the
student body towards the band Unless the band
receives support and cooperation of the other stu
dents it cannot be expected to do Us best.
We are still In doubt as to the best remedy for
the situation and this Is mainly because we still
wonder:
Just what IS wrong with the Univerilty Band?
Letters
Editor, The Red and Black:
"There was a young man so
benighted, he never knew when
he was slighted. He went to a
party and ate Just as hearty as if
he’d been really Invited.”
All of which ties in with and
applies to those "benighted” young
men who go to house dances and
private fraternity parties without
invitations.
There have been numerous inci
dents of this kind of intrusion in
the past few weeks, and it is high
time that someone did something
about it-
In the i-aHe of those giving the
party, their hands are tied as they
cannot, without being rude, ask
anyone to leave. Those uninvited
guests are usually slightly in
ebriated and cause no end of era-
harassment to other people at
tending the function.
Let all the would-be politicians
hack slap and get themselves in
vitations from now on, and not
Impose on other people's good na
ture, because it lias been rumored
that there Is likely to be forceful
ejection done in desperation.
Sincerely.
HARASSED.
Compliments on your poetry.
Harassed. You have the right
idea about one's being where
one is not invited.—Ed.

PARADE*
Editor McRae Was Probably Right
Ho, Hum! Another week, and still no news from
the Pan-Hellenic Council. For a while we thought
this was funny hut it is now beginning to take on
serious proportions, both as to the committee which
was appointed to investigate a president’s salary and
the securing of a band for Little Commencement
dances.
The council evidently fails to realize that the first
week in April Is only six weeks away. As we stated
before, the best bands do not sit around and wait
until the last minute to make contracts for engage
ments. The more we think about it the more we
are inclined to agree with former Editor Tom McRae
when he advocated abolishing the Pan-Hellenic
Council. He had something there.
No More Drawn Shades
And now the Dean of Women is doing something
which tile Pan-Hellenic Council, and the Women’s
Pan-Hellenic Council could have done if they had
just kept their eyes open and tried to be of some
use. According to a report from Mrs. Rhodes, women
will be allowed to date in fraternity houses on week
ends, provided there is an approved chaperon pre-
ent.
The University recognizes the limited number of
places in which women may have dates and for this
reason is glad to approve of any measures that will
help the situation. According to the new ruling,
all a fraternity has to do to be able for members to
bring dates into the house is to submit the name of
the person who is to do the chaperoning and have it
approved at the office of the Dean of Women.

Lang like each other’s company
. . . . Lane Timmons is going to

Why the Long Term Contract?
Members of the senior class will meet Monday to
consider proposals for letting class ring contracts to
the lowest bidder among national Arms and to award
the contracts on a yearly basis.
For tho past several years the contract has been
in the possession of one company, at a set price over
which the student body and the seniors had no con
trol. This price has remained the same for several
years in spite of the fluctuating price of gold and
production costs of the manufacturers.
According to the proposed changes a committee
composed of students and several members of the
faculty will each year consider bids for the rings
and will award the contract to the lowest bidder.
As in the past, the secretary-treasurer of the senior
clasB will be responsible for the sale of the rings
and the meager profits will go to him.
The proposal as started above seems to be sound.
In fact much more sound than the existing one.
There is no reason for a long time contract for the
rings, made by some member or members of the
faculty of which the students, the persons who pay
for the rings, have no knowledge.
Bring ihe whole thing out in the open and let the
students know what it is all about. Sometimes we
are inclined to think that the faculty has too much
control over student activities anyway.
Socially Underprivileged Prosper
Following insistent pleadings of members of the
Epicurean Club to be recognized we have finally de
cided Jo break down and do so. It is readily admit
ted by all the members that the first dance sponsored
by the club did not live up to their expectations and
their effort to bring out the socially underprivileged
was not as successful as had been hoped.
The second dance held recently, however, was
quite an improvement and the club shows promise
of developing into a good thing. At least it is a
tine thing for Coordinate girls who are not privileged
to attend dances on the main campus.
Salute
Lois Bridges as was predicted by
Uncle Roddy last fall .... will
lead the Soldiers’ Ball .... We
once thought that concession op
erating Joe Gillespie would change
his mind .... but competition on
the part of a Delta Tau Delta
spurred him on ... . Helen North-
cutt and Virginia Epps are the two
other ladies of the evening.
Object Ions
Mrs. Ellen P. delivered one of
her regular admonitions at Gilmer
Hall Wednesday night .... the
bad girls set alarm clocks for mid
night .... shot firecrackers . . .
and painted things on the walls
. . . . Virginia McDowell yelled out
her New Dorm window the other
night and found out later that It
just wasn’t the thing to do.
Picnics
Bobbins Mill is the popular spot
these Sunny Sunday afternoons
. . . . Students by the score are
unblushing in their admission of
a love of the springtime and the
budding trees .... fires warm the
chilly nights .... we figured out
who everybody was but the girl
with Eddie Hester .... he later
had to go home because he sat on
a cactus plant.
Miscellaneous
Fred Wickham has installed a
dial phone In the ATO house so
he can call Nancy Griggs (pd.
adv.).
