KAPPA—RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE

The rushing week is over and Kappa promised, on Oct. 17, seven fine
freshmen they are: Margaret Miller, Alexine Crawford, Lela Ger-
many, Alice Alexander, Virginia Zapp, Louise Ratcliffe and Anne New-
ton- 1» order for these "promisees' to be pledged they must each pass
four three-hour courses, or the equivalent. Exams beg.n Jan. 18, and we
hope that by the time they are over with every one of our promises will
have passed the required numher of hours to be pledged.

There is a saying in college that the sophomores do all the work of
the college and get no credit for it. This is one time when they will get
credit for it. We are indeed very proud of our sophomores. They have
not only won fame for themselves in athletics and scholarship but also
in class work and the general work of the college. Betty Darling was
captain of the hockey squad and out of the twelve other sophomores, nine
of them played on either the basketball or hockey first teams.

In the sophomore play which was presented Saturday, Dec. 19, Mary
Reed originated and coached all of the dances for the play. Betty
Darling, Katherine Pfau and Violet Washburn all had leading roles in
the play. Fan White and Louise Anderson both were chairmen of im-
portant committees for the play and party.

Thanksgiving night the College Dramatic Club presented "Come Out
of the Kitchen." Beryl Madison acted the part of Burton Crane—the lead-
ing man; Frances Germany acted the part of Paul Dangerfie'd—the old
est boy of his family, and Phoebe Paxton acted the part of Charles Dan-
gerfield—the youngest boy of the family.

Kappa decided that her home was in a very run-down and worn out
condition. One of the bright members suggested the idea of having a
shower for the house and inviting the alumnae. The idea proved most
successful. I t was just like the fairy godmother who touched Cinder-
ella's rags with her wand and turned them into a handsome evening
gown. First of all the chapter "enscramble," gave the house a beautiful
new set of dining-room furniture and a beautiful rug for the dining-
room floor. There were various other presents: plenty of pots and pans
and utensils for the kitchen, famous pictures for the living room, brass,
ship-book-ends, vases, new victrola records, sofa pillows, new andirons,
and numerous other things. The house really looks like a new place.

Ann Anderson—our president—was elected by the student body as a
delegate from Randolph Macon to attend the Student Conference at
Princeton University, which was held to discuss the problem of the
World Court. This was quite an honor for the chapter to have the one
representative of the entire college.

News was received from the Belgian Congo that there had been born
unto Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Gilliam a fine baby girl. Mrs. Gilliam was,
before her marriage, Louise Johnson and a prominent AOn.

The Christmas holidays are over. We have all had a marvelous time
during the holidays and are now settling down to hard work so that we
can make good grades on the examinations. Our average for the first
quarter was 91.1—and we stood second place on the campus in the schol-
arship line—the highest being 92.2. We feel that we must keep up the
good work.

ZETA—UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
So much has happened one hardly knows where to start. A new
house is the predominate thought of most Zetas now. Numerous means
of raising money f o r the fund have been put into force. Last week a
Ford touring car was given away as the result of a contest; a bridge
