Wearing Of The Grey
Aura of Mystery
To ' New Coeds
One of the familiar sights on
campus about which there seems
to be an aura of mystery is the
"wearing of the grey," the grey
hats worn by approximately 100
upperclass coeds.
Comments to the effect that
these hats are freshmen dinks or
worn to indicate freshmen girls
who have erred have been over
heard.
In , reality the hats signify girls
who have been outstanding for
their scholarship, leadership, and
character.
Although the campus 'has three
such organizations for women,
Mortar Board, Chimes, an d
Cwens, which choose their mem
bers on this basis, Cwens and
Chimes are the two which wear
hats as a distinguishing symbol.
Although Mortar • Board is a
member of Hat Societies Council,
which is composed of all campus
honoraries for both men and
women, its members wear no evi
dent mark to designate their
group 'as an honorary organiza
tion with the exception of the pin,
a small replica of a Mortar Board.
All Chimes and Cwens, includ
ing active and inactive members,
are entitled to wear a hat. Both
honoraries' chapeaus are grey
with their respective symbol on

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1949

Corner
By Commis Keller
An old time situation is some
what reversed as approximately
1200 new women students have
enrolled at the College and only
a slight number over 600 old
timers are here to make them feel
at home.
Cwens, Chimesi . Mortar Board
and Alpha Lambda Delta have
done their best in orientating
these new coeds to campus life
at the College, however, that pe
culiar and satisfying personal
welcome and interest, ,which can
mean so much to a new. student
in completely adjusting herself,
may very well be missing.
Big-Little Sisters
In setting up the Big Sister-
Little .Sister - system, WSGA
hoped to devise a plan whereby
this personal interest could. be
supplied. • Past examples% Of the
'system have shown it to be' sus- .
ceptible to defeat. That defeat is
not, • however, a necessary evil of
the system. Rather it is a lack of
true interest on the part of Col
lege women to recognize a worth
while tradition and a further lack
on their part in fulfilling their
obligations.
Bigger Challenge
The challenge is far bigger/this
year than ever before. Most co eds ,
have been - assigned two little sis
ters•
and the task' has become
doubly hard. Doubly hard if visit
ing, giving needed advice, a little
friendly companionship and
cheerful company can be classi
fied that' way.,
Coeds had a chance .to release
themselves from, accepting a little
sister by signing in . the . dean of
women's office last, year if , they
did not care to have one- or .were
for - some reason unable , to have
one. Most, in the College spirit,
accepted.. The , : .acceptance:.and
challenge , are still those , of-.the old
timers.
