"As forlorn as a keyless senior." That might on the surface
epitomize the gold situation ,here where 667 seniors possess 813
glistening vest adornments, according to a compilation of 1932
'La Vie' senior activity cards
The cards from which the statistics were derived were sent
in by students whose pictures will appear in the annual and with
':ew exceptions contain the complete
record up to Decembei, 1931. With
the last semestei harvest still to be
taken, it is probable that many more
adornments will be meted out by grad-',
nation tune.
Of the 667 sewers counted, 412
were fraternity men and 141 were
not. Fifty-eight of the co-eds were
seniors in sororities chile 56 women
had no social affiliation Approxi
mately 825 persons will be represented
in the senior section of the annual,
but this number is larger than the
present class roster because of irregu
laiities
PARENTS DONATE
$6OO FOR LOANS
Association Contributes Funds
To Aid Needy Students
In Upperclasses
Approximately $6OO has been con
tributed by the Parents' Association
toward student aid since January 15,
carrying out in part plans foi minted
at a meeting of the association last
October, Prof. J. Orvis Keller, secre
tary-treasurer of the association, an
nounced this week.
"Over 800 parents responded to a
membership drive during January,
contributing sums ranging from one
dollar to twenty-five, Prof. Keller
stated. The amount devoted to stu
dent aid is that in excess of the op
crating expenses of the association.
To Continue Fund
Loans to seven junior and senior
men and women have been made by
the association thus far. Under the
plans outlined by the parents, only
members of the two upper classes are
eligible for - the aid.
The association will continue the
loan fund next year, having adopted
the plan as an incentne to the parents
to secure membership. Organired to
support the College bond issue of 1928,
the association began with an enroll
ment of 1,500, but decreased in num
; tiers when the original purpose was
accomplished
Those who have responded to the
appeal have done so enthusiastically,
according to Prof. Kellen. "Never in
my life could I appreciate the "due
of a dollar as now . . . . if a member
ship in your association means help
to sonic futume boy or girl, heic is our
little dollar," typifies the replies ac
companying the checks.

A point system which is to go on tiial
this yeas was voiced by senior women
lenders when questioned yesterday
M. Lydia Haller, president of the
senior class, and Mary Might,
women's editor of the COLLEGIAN, op
pose the distribution of points among
insignificant offices, while Suzanne
M. Kist, president of the Panhellenic
Council, believes that the system will
accomplish its nuns
Miss Haller stated that a woman is
capable of Judging the amount of ex
tra-curricular activity which she can
carry and that the number of offices
which she ought hold should not be
restricted provided that her scholar
ship is maintained
"Capable women should not be lim
ited by rules in developing then abil

ed. "The system, assigning points to
minor offices which entail little work,
will prevent students from holding
executive positions that require 'abil

"The all-College dances after games

worthwhile and should be established

Charlotte 5, Ray, said yesterday.
"The friendly and democratic spirit
which these dances, Omagh their in

the students is especially valuable,"
MISS Ray said, "but it depends almost
entirely on the attitude of the students
attending. They should be willing to
exchange dances freely."
The dances held in Reel Cation hall

ficial social obligation of the College

Ray said.
"It is a good plan to connect our
