Informs! Dance
Highlights Annual
Campus Event
The initiation of new members
to Phi Gamma Literary Society
will take place Friday, Jan. 23.
An informal initiation is plan
ned by the sophomore members
for the afternoon. Although the
fate of the new members has
not been revealed, according to
Joe Edwards, president, it will
be of a constructive nature.
Highlighting the initiation, is
a dance set for Friday night.
Lucius Powell, dance committee
chairman, has announced that it
will be an informal occasion and
girls from Covington, Conyers,
and the locality have been in
vited. The theme was not known
at the time of publication. The
dance is to take place in Phi
Gamma at 8 P. M. and is open
to all students on the campu:
Phi Gamma members who have
paid their dues will be admitted
free, and a price of fifty cents
will be charged non-paid Phi
Gamma members and other stu
dents.
The decision to charge those
w'ho are not official -members
a mnimum of fifty cents for
activities of the clubs and or
ganizations on the campus was
reached after a meeting of rep
resentatives from both Few and
Phi Gamma Societies. The pur
pose of the decision was to give
benefits to those who had paid
their dues over those who have
not paid and who do not take
an active part in the work of
the club but still enjoy the social
activities. This policy will be
used by both societies -in an at
tempt to increase membership
and plan tetter activities.
Glee Club Members
Make Recordings
For Network Show
Wednesday, Jan. 14, 10 members
of the EAO Glee Club met with
14 girls from LaGrange ColleE°
for the purpose of making a
record of religious hymns. This
record was made for a program
to he sponsored on the NBC
radio network by the Protestant
Hour.
The combined chorus sang for
rme hours, including the time
taken for the recording. This
record will'be featured March 22
at 8:30 P. M. on WSB. Bishop
John Branscomb, of the Meth
odist Church, will speak.
Another reason for the trip
was the preliminary practice with
the LaGrange girls in Haydn's
“C cation”, which is to be present
ed both at Oxford and LaGrange
in the early part of February.
Those making the trip were:
Mike Houser. Lucius Powell. Her
man Palmer. Ted Leßoy Ray,
Herbert Smith. Rem Edwards,
Hoyt Oliver. Ed Strickland, and
Walter Leonard.

INITIATIONS ARE AT HAND
With the coming of the Winter |
quarter, and the return of the
Oxford scholars? (comparing
school life to that of Christmas
and New Years vacation), we
find the Letterman’s Club and
Phi Gamma preparing for this
I year’s initiations, (too bad Few
won’t join the fun) Everyone is
looking forward to the weekend'
of both, but few want the police
to find them walking along a
lonely back road (as were two
Big Emory boys)” well soaped
up with garlic and molasses.”
Hooray! Big crowds attend E.
A. O. basketball games. Extra
large crowds where seen at the
last game, even some were turn
ed away due to a low seating
capacity. Let’s get out and back
the teams. Just because we don't
play is no reason we have to
stay at home. See you at the next
game?

I see by “The Emory Wheel”
that new fire equipment is be
ing installed in the dorms at the
Atlanta campus. E. A. O. does not
nave this yet, and it was’ told
around not to long ago that a
bed got a little warm due to
smoking in bed. To avoid a fire at
E. A O. I now present a few rules
for your consideration
When preparing to smoke in
bed:
(1) Call the main office and
notify the Dean where you wish
your remains sent, as it is a
matter of record that a high
precent of college fires are start
ed by this careless practice.
(2) Notify your roommates in
the adjoining rooms of your in
tention of endangering their lives
so that they may take necessary
precautions to protect themselves.
(3) Go check on the fire escape
and fire equiment and see that
tte stairs are free of people, so
that if you are fortunate enough
to escape your room, you may
reach safety.
(4) Now sit down and think
how foolish it is for you to take
this risk - you may enjoy a
smoke while thinking it over.

Now that most students have
free leaves the numoer of students
remaining at school over week
ends has dropped to less than
50 percent of the enrollment. I
can't see why so many must leave

cars, (which this writer has ex
pressed his view upon before)
