Plot Iiaid in London
Handled by Eugene Lipschitz, At

completed. Lipschitz and his stafT
have been working daily toward the
duplication of the fashionable Lon
don home.
The plot of the play is laid in
this quiet London house, the home
of an old maid estranged from her
family. Mystery sweeps In to sur
round this character, the “Kind
Lady.”
Before she fully realizes what is
happening, an insidious gang of
crooks has taken over her house
hold. How the “Kind Lady” works
out her problem provides a blood-
chilling climax.
The play had a successful run on
Broadway, and is judged currently
by the press as one of the few out
standing horror plays of the day.
It was staged by Edward Chedorov
from an adaptation of a story by
Hugh Walpole. The story is one of
Walpole’s Herries tales.

The fate of the-senior class sec
retary’s prospects for continuing to
distribute rings hung in the hulance
today .is President Harmon W. Cald
well conferred with a dozen students
in a meeting in his office this after
noon.
A faculty committee at the same

The proposals which the committee
submitted included a plan whereby
rings will be sold (1) through the
Georgia Co-operative Association, (2)
by an Athens Jeweler, and (3) by
the secretary of the senior class,
which is the same as the system now
in practice except for the added stip
ulation that the secretary put up
bond.
Clark Gaines, Hartwell, president
of the senior class, and other student
officials met this week with a repre
sentative of Herff-Jones & Company,
present possessor of the ring con
tract, prior to the conference and
enumerated student objections to
faculty distribution of rings.
"The students and the committee
will oppose any attempt of the ad
ministration to take the class' finan
cial matters from the hands of the
students,” Gaines advised the agent,
and he predicted that Co-op distri
bution would be unprofitable "for the
company.

Fraternity Pins Leave Natural Habitats
As Spring Turns Young Men's Fancies
ll> Krnnon Henderson
With spring in the air fraternity
pins are beginning to leave natural
habitats and are finding new roosts
on feminine forms.
Each time a pin is grafted a new
romance blossoms on the campus.
For some, the wearing of a fraterni
ty pin is as sacred as an engagement
ring. Others consider it merely a
friendly- gesture.
Prominent campus individuals,
both men and women, have express
ed their opinions concerning this
lovers’ practice. For various and
easily understandable reasons, how
ever, they prefer that their state
ments be anonymous. All titles list
ed below are fletitous, but, If iden
tified, could be replaced by the real
names.
Bea Sweet, attractive brunette
with wavy hair, says, “I consider a
fraternity pin as an engagement
ring and some day it will be sup
planted by one. When a woman
wears a pin I don’t think she should
go with any other man, that is if
‘the one’ is at your same Univer
sity as is my man.”
E. Z. Glve-it, campus dandy, says
“My pin has been worn by three
women in the last two years. I think
I like a co-ed. I give her my pin,
and then change iny mind and get it
back. I don’t think I’m fickle
though.”
Cary Sene, proud possessor of a
fraternity pin since two week-ends
ago, thinks the way in which It Is
given should determine the senti
ment behind it. Cary claims she is
going to wear her pin all the time
and not, like some women, put it
In her dresser drawer.
“I’d give a fraternity pin as I’d
give a box of candy,” coldly stated
Ben Zeno. "It wouldn’t mean (bat
