The Mercer campus was really
active this past weekend. It seemed
like everyone, not only Mercer stu
dents but weekend visitors as well,
was here for the various parties
Friday night and SGA's Tams
dunce on Saturday night at the
Shurlington Armory.
Friday night the SAE's held
their annual semi-formal Sweet
heart Party at the Policeman's
Lodge with "The Boogie Chillun”.
At 10 o'clock Claudia Young,
ADPi, was announced as the new
G8-69 Sweetheart. Congratulations
Claude! Everyone gathered around
as she accepted the pin and roses.
The E's want to thank Beverly
Burns for the outstanding job she
did as last year's Sweetheart.
The Sigma Nus and Phi Delta
had a tremendous Friday night at
the McKenna Amory with “The
System”, a group from South Geor
gia College, providing the music.
Playing well-known music of the
Tams, Four Tops and the Rascals,
the band was one of the best ever
heard at a Mercer fraternity party.
From all appearances it may have
been a costume party, with many
different outfits ranging anywhere
from the flight suits to capes and
various kinds of hats.
The MIMAS held their first ma
jor party of the year November
2 at Jonesco The theme was
"Shoot ’Em Up Baby", and all the
brothers and their dates were
dressed as cowboys. Even Mr. Hil-
ley had his six-gun!
The Kappa Sigs had a midterm
get together at Kraft’s Lake. Andy
Perry must love swimming in No
vember ... or was he thrown in?
At the party were several visitors
from Sigma Nu Alpha at Georgia
Southwestern College.
Congratulations and best wishes
are extended to Miss Macon Con
test Semi-finalists Sally Farrar,
ADPi; Dawn Mayo, Alpha Gam;
Terri Meadors, Chi Omega; and

Mus.
The Chi O's celebrated last week
end with a party for the sisters
and pledges in the suite. Linda
Beebe, a former Chi O at Mercer
now attending Georgia State, was
here for the weekend. The ADPi's
were happy to have former sistterg

Augusta is a great place to party,
especially when there is a fire!
Congratulations to new O. S.
pledges Cindy Carey, Ruthie Lowe,
and Liz Cliette.
The Pi Kapps have not been seen
much on campus this year. This is
due to the fact that academics and
a tightly packed social schedule
rank well above co-op sitting.
Since the opening of school the
Pi Kapps have been busy with at
least one party a weekend. The
picnic at Baconsfield park, the
Hunter Halloween get together, and
the trip to Lake Sinclair provided a
few needed diversions from aca-
edmic achievement.
The past weekend saw our Alpha
Alpha Raiders on safari to Georgia
Southern for a weekend of party
ing and chartering the Gamma
Kappa Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.
We would like to extend con
gratulations to Marilyn Bryant
who is the rose of the Pi Kapp
Pledge Class.

Soviet Magazine Communicates
Soviet — American Youths
By Tyler
What is the life of the Soviet stu
dent like? Is he free to express
himself? What really moves him?
How does his social life fit into
his routine? These questions and
others like them are being asked
today by American students.
In conjunction with “Kosoml-
skaya Pravda", the leading youth
newspaper in the Soviet Union, the
magazine “Soviet Life” devoted its
entire November issue tp the ques
tions of American students. The
whole thing was part of a joint ef
fort by the gove -omenta of the
U. S. and U. S. S. R., aimed at the
promotion of understanding be
tween the two countries as youth
communicate with youth.
Hammett
According to the magazine, So
viet youth are extremely interested
in philosophy, especially dialectical
materialism and the Communist
world view. They are free to study
other philosophies but “overwhelm
ingly agree that Soviet history has
shown that Marxism is the answer
to complex social problems.”
"Despite a vast diversity of per
sonal goals . . . the overwhelmingly
majority of those personal goals
(in a recent poll) in no way con
flicted with the goals of Communist
society as a whole,” states the mag
azine. However, the pressure is on
them to achieve. Those who fail
three courses in a year go to work.
Naturally social life is secondary,
New Night Spot Opens
For Students Today
By Gary Brenner
Macon has finally responded to
the cries of the Mercer Student.
Thanks to the efforts of Guy White
Jr., of Guy White's Radio and
TV, a college type night club has
been opened exclusively for college
students. The new night spot is
located in the upper portion of
Guy White's Radio and TV store
on Mulberry St., which was form
erly occupied by Arthur Murray
Studios.
The discotheque has been ar
ranged in a night club atmosphere
with small tables, modem lighting
effects, dance floor, and bar for;
refreshments. The "Purple Haze"
will provide entertainment on the
weekends.
The Interfraternity Council at
Mercer is a partner in the venture,
but the club will be open to any
person who can present a college
I D. There will be a small cover
charge, not much leas than the
cost of a traditional Mercer date—
the drive-in movie. Atmosphere
entertainment and fellowship—just
what Mercer students have been
looking for. The Grand Opening
will be Nov. 22.
but Soviet atodwta do enjoy seg
extracurricular interests. Movk
concerts, and theatre seem
fill in spare moments, organia
(ions like Koeneomol (tbs Yoq
Communist League) and the Cog
munist Party provide opportune
for political expresSon
In short, the young Soviet aSi
dent muet know where he is gak
because he is going to get som
where as quickly as possible.
