his company, on the death of the

Letters to
Dear Editor:
In. reply to your Collegian ar
ticle concerning Fred W,a ring’s
Corner Room visit, we of Sigma
Chi wish: to correct your error in
stating that the author of “The
Sweetheart of Sigma Ohi” was
Fred Waring.
"The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”
was written toy Byron D. Stokes
and F. Dudleigh Vernor of our
Alpha Pi Chapter, Albion College,
Albion, Mich. To these men
should go the credit for the words
and music of our Sweetheart Song
and not to Mr. Waring.
Respectfully yours,
D. Robert Bastian.
(Ed. Note—'Our apologies to the
Sigma Chi’s.)
Panhel's Proposal
Dear Editor:
A proposal has been made in
Panhelleniic Council to have reg
istration of all women who desire
to toe rushed sorority. This regis
tration will cost each girl a cer
tain fee which does not insure the
girl’s being rushed. Several sug
gestions have been given as to
the amount to be paid and what
should be done with the money.
One is that each girl pay $2 and
if she is .pledged to a sorority one
dollar goes to that sorority and
one goes to the Panhellenic Coun
cil. 'ln the event that she isn’t
pledged, one dollar is kept toy Pan
hellenic Council and one is re
turned to .the girl. The money
kept toy. the council is supposed
.to pay the women who take care
of such a registration and also
mimeograph the lists of all ..who
•register.
Why can’t each sorority pay ,50
cents or'one dollar- extra dues; per
year to Parihel to pay for the mim
eographed J'iiSts? Each sorority
Could have orie-girl go toißbc Hall
on: registration ‘day each hour to
help the fredbfaan women .and
transfers to register. This would
help reduce the expense of having
someone outside of Panhel to take
oare of this.
■ The registration in itself is-good’
■because at gives each sorority a
good idea of the girls who , really
want to .pledge. However, , paying
.a certain’fee seems too'muoh to
expect, of a girl .who .desd'h even
get rushed.,or pledged.
Sincerely,
A Sorority Memtoer.

"Helme Site"
Dear Editor:
I feel that we ought to name
the trailer camp “Helme Site” as
a tribute to Professor Helme for
his work done in this school.
In the art classes Professor
Helme particularly emphasized
functional design.
If this does not meet with your
approval, why not set up a schol
arship fund in the fine arts de
partment in memory of Professor
Helme?
I enjoy reading your publication!
very much. However, I do wish
you would have guest book re
viewers. I cEeel that the demand
for this sort of thing would toe
worth your effort.
Why not have a column for
questions and problems on study
and personal problems in regards
to campus life.
Sincerely,
David J. Joy.
Our Boy Bill
Dear Editor, . .
-It seems that the time as ripe tor
some distinct recognition of Wil
liam Penn on onr campus. lAifter all
he is recognized as the founder of
this State, and he is credited with
success through fair dealing. He is
certainly deserving of more notice
than he is given at present.
This Should suggest a worth
while project for some campus or
ganization
