NOVEMBER 22, 1968 MERTER CLUSTER mmttimsmsmiw&tm&mmmsmmmmmtmsmmsmm'/. >i * By Jarl Baugh 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 Karen Rivers and Susan Watt, Phi Mus.

Congratulations to Judy Chap pell whose father was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives. And a few news extras — The Kappa Sigs seem to think that 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. A View Sating Sensation / chick-n-treat Fish & Shrimp op«n til 1 p.m. Fri. and Sat. THE MERCER CLUSTER Mercer University Macon, Georgia Noa 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.
