400 Greek Women Meet To Gossip, Compare Notes
Jove, Minerva and the rest of the clan must have turned over in their Olympian graves last night. Had they been up and about they would have seen 400 native Greek daughters put down their swords and shields and meet at 6 p.m. last night to eat an unbelievably good Memorial Union dinner.
Keynoting the evening was a short and sweet presentation speech by Miss Elizabeth Meguai, adviser of women, who passed on the Pan Henlienic scholarship cup for 1939-40 to Gamma Phi Beta, ending the Sigma Kappa reign of the past two years.
Between courses Hill women sang fraternity songs, and saw for the first time in 22 years a new international sorority represented at a University Pan Hellenic dinner by Delta Gamma, newest of Hill Greeks.

Eight Commandments
★★ ★ ★ ★
College Girl's Bible
Fun-what goes on outside the classroom. Coke dates and beer picnics. The village movies. Steak barbecues in the moonlight. Bike hikes, hay rides, and roller rinks. Dancink to the newest records. Nickel-odcons. Serenades and canoes. Ten o'clock mail, and five o'clock tea with a man. Skiing week-end-all-week-ends.
Rain- what there's a lot of most of the time. Why every freshman starts her wardrobe with a reversible, a souwester, and a pair of high rubber boots. Why you play so much.
Knit—what you do like mad from the moment you arrive. In the movies, in the libe, at lectures, between courses at meals. For relief, for yourself, for your man.
Bull—conversation at midnight. Mostly about men, clothes, other girls, diets, fads, yourself, your courses, your future. Some about politics, peace, and the uselessness of
war.
—from College Bazaar, Aug., 1940
Fad—what few will brave, but all will follow. Example: the baseball cap and the pinafore. Pompapours, pixie glasses, prontos, crazy mittens. The short skirt and the long sock. The long jacket and covert cloth reversibles from the men's shops. Or father's old derby, worn in the rain.
Ambition—what you admire most in other people and want most for yourself. To be a good Joe, to be popular with men and women. To know what to talk about and what not to mention. To be a force in directing campus activities. To have a job for a year or so and to marry early.
The W.S.G.A. will also use the Pine room for their meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight.
The Memorial Union building will house the lion's share of student activities this week.
Active Week In Union
The Kansas room will house the YM-YW membership assembly at 4:30 Tuesdav.
2.
Grass—between the Quad, on the Hill, in front of fraternity row. Where you sun, study, sleep, have classes, picnics, grasshoppers.
The Union Activities bridge lesson will be in the Kansas room, 7:15 tonight.
In the English room at 4:30 today was a tea for Phi Chi Theta, women's professional business sorority. A zoology research group will have a dinner in the same room at 6 p.m. today A. B. Leonard, assistant professor of zoology, will have charge of the dinner.
The sequence of dinners, lunches, and teas will be broken Wednesday when a peace fast, supervised by Freeman Meyer. c'41, will be held the Fine room.
