Party Bug Hits Campus; Phi Delts Go Night Clubbing
Dining and dancing! What could be more fun? Nothing, apparently, for there were six parties on the Hill last night.
The Phi Delts converted their chapter house into a night club for their annual Phi Delt Mess. Cars drove up under a canopy at the front entrance.
Inside, walls were covered with blue and white crepe paper, ceilings with streamers. In the main dancing room, 3,000 balloons, all colors, clustered everywhere.
Dinner was served at tables for six and eight around the edge of the room. In the "cocktail lounge" young men and their dates had drinks at a blue and silver bar. The routeite wheel was also a popular spot.
Coyde Byson's band played its best commercial style. Warren Newcomer a Phil Delt, picked out "Rhap-sody in Blue" on the piano during intermission.
Spring--But Chilly
Ebi Psi freshmen and their dates covered the town last night on a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt. Later they met at the chapter house for refreshments and dancing.
Still another party with dining and dancing was at the Alpha Chi Sigma House.
Each of the cooperatives, Battenfeld, Carruth and Templin, held an informal party last night at their half. Dancing was to recorded music. Invited as special "roving" chapers to visit all three parties were Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Werner and Mr. and Mrs. Olin Templin.
. . . luncheon guest Friday was Fred Collier, a student at Yale.

Her Majesty, Wielder of the Slide Rule, is, as of Friday night, Betty Coulson, Gamma Phi Beta. Feted by about 400 of her loyal subjects at the Hobnail Hop, she will continue to reign, theoretically at least, until next year's School of Engineering queen is chosen.
