Greek letter or ganizations are already making preparations to put the paddles away with the season’s forgotten popular dance records, and fling class notes into the waste baskets. Just think, no more “pig nights,” no more meetings and no more fines! In case you’re strange to “pig night,” I’ll let you in on some of the facts about the more unpleasant side of college life. Monday Fine Night .rig uiguL is lvionaay night night such as chapter, house, and disciplinary meetings. The “pig” is a dish that the pigger or eti quette chairman pushes down to our plate every time we talk with our mouth full of stew or pass the bread with the wrong hand. Into the “pig” we put a series of five pennies, one penny for each mistake we make in table man ners. If we’re conceited enough to think we can get away without bringing the last of our cigarette allowance downstairs, we may run into another fine. If we’re caught without the pennies, the “pig” gets ten cents. Absences Fined “Pig night” isn’t the worst of the house fines. Of course, mem bers are fined for not attending meetings and for paying house bills late, but there are the an noying fines about radios and lights. This fine results when we leave the lights and radio going while we talk for a half an hour on the phone. Of course, we might expect the fine when we’re gone for an hour or two, but when we dash off to brush our teeth and forget to turn off the latest dance recording and five study lamps, a fine seems a little too strict. But there is no argument! With toothbrush in X All bad things come on Monday hand1, we can argue with the “house prexy” while she gets ready to go to a meeting, but the fine, has to be paid. Beds Must Be Made We have to make our beds in. the morning or we get fined. By all means, the room must be cleaned at 1:15 p.m. or we’ll get fined for an untidy room. At 1^30 p.m. the room can look like the night after a formal with silver slippers and long dresses strewn about the desks and chairs, but the “room check-up” comes at 1:15, and at that time the room, must be clean. Well, maybe it will seem nice to forget all about fines in a few weeks. We can have lectures at home on how “we’ll all be sloppy housekeepers,” but lectures will be a relief from the tiresome grind of house fines. FORMAL DINNER TONIGHT At a formal dinner tonight at the home of Miss Mabel A. Wood, members of the foods class will have as their guests Chancellor and Mrs. Frederick M. Hunter, Presi dent Donald M. Erb, Dr. and Mrs. C. Valentine Boyer, and Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Schwering.
