College Belonged
To `Aggies' In 1909
Back in 1909 when coeds were
as rare as dinosaurs and the Col
lege belonged to the "Aggies,"
a proposed honor system was
fighting for existence. It was re
ported that all engineering and
agricultural students supported
the proposal, but that other
schools could not muster enough
signatures.
In 1929 "His Captive Woman"
was the movie hit of the week,
competing with "Girls Gone
Wild," starring Sue Carol and
Nick Stuart. Thespians were be
ginning a whispering campaign
for Gilbert's and Sullivan's gay
"H. M. S. Pinafore."
When prohibition and prosper
ity grew like wildfire, Norman
Thomas, presidential nominee on
the Socialist ticket, spoke to wide
eyed students on "Why I Am A
Socialist."
Co-Ed Chats, a women's column
in the bi-weekly Collegian, was
chatting about the "May Queen"
and "Long may she live." A gal
named Woodring was chosen in
'3O.
We, ...ae Mown
Congratulations
To Krimcon
We're congraltulating Krimcon,
not only because it was accepted
by a national organization, but
because it accomplished this pur
pose in a shorter time than any
other sorority.
Our congrrltulations also spring
from its background as a local
sorority. We feel that a 1.97 All-
College average is worthy of at
tention, and that an organization
that carries its standards beyond
the formality of words should be
recognized.
We're taking this opporttinity to
boost Kricon for the work it. has
done for underprivileged residents
of Woodycrest ever since its
boost. Krimcon for the work it has
been meritous enough to attract
the attention of the local Girl
Scout Council, 'which-is now sup
porting the project.
We have faith in the thought
that Krimcon will continue to
maintain its 'high standards now
that 'it has . become 'a
national or
ganization. We have faith be
cause we know that every chapter
of, the . .nationnl. organization, Al
pha• Xi Delta, 'must rank - with the
upper third' in its local Panhellen
ic scholarship standings.
We have faith because the or
enization
. is fresh and new and
as yet untouched by any discords
and misunderstandings.
We print this in the hope that
Alpha Xi Delta will be able to
maintain the standards it estab
lished ias a, local sorority.
