3 Types Get 'Stuck'
With Fraternity Pins
There are all kinds of pins: safety pins, straight pins, hat pins,
bowling pins, rolling pins, wrestling pins, and fraternity pins.
We are concerned here, however, with the last. Thousands of
fraternity pins are given or thrown away every year. Why?
There are as many meanings at
tached to the pinn..ng custom as
there are couples who become
pinned. Nevertheless, there are
three gene r al categories into
which these couples divide them
selves.
First, there are the "This is it"
adherents. To them pinning is an
engagement, or a preliminary en
gagement to engagement, or an
engagement to be engaged in a
preliminary engagement to the en
gagement. They are the shiny
faced lovers with the stardusted
eyes ever-turned in each other's
direction. They live in a little
world all their own, with their
heads in the clouds and their feet
on the ground.
. 'Ham • and Eggs'
The second group is by far the
most infamous. The "Look-at-the
trophy-I-have" groups are noted
for being pinned and depinned
almost as often as they eat.
The women like the additional
piece of jewelry dripping from
their sweaters. These women col
lect pins like campaign buttons.
The men like the idea of adding
new conquests to their list. The
conquests are like a shot in the
arm for their warped personali
ties, and puff up their egos and
give them a certain prestige
among their male friends.
The third, and . least obtrusive,
group is the "It might as well be
you because I haven't the initia
tive to find anyone else" group.
They have dated each other for
so long that they go together like
ham and eggs.
Grass Almost 'Me
To pinned couples it is desir
able to belong to the first group.
But in case you've done some sum
ming up and have found your
selves glorying in the second
group or trapped in the third, it

While photographing. the Kappa Kappa Gamma formal
this past Saturday, we again ran into Joan Hunter. If you've
ever seen her dressed up in a formal then you'll agree that
this girl is one of the most beautiful possessions that the
Kappas have had for some years. And that is quite a feat
if you know the Kappas.
Are you interested in having your fraternity photographed
in an open shirt, informal group in front of your house?
We're taking it right after lunch during week days. It only
takes a few minutes and no one will miss his one o'clock class.
Call now for an appointment.
Also call now to make an appointment for group pictures
of mothers and sons outside the house on Mother's Day.

Profs Judge Contest

public speaking, recently served

University of Pittsburgh Forensic
and Music League contest.
is time to start singing a different
song like "There'll Be Some Chan
ges Made."
Spring is almost sprung and the
grass is almost riz as the saying
goes. It is now that a young man's
fancy turns. Poor unsuspecting
males will be giving away their
little emblems of fraternity this
spring; poor unsuspecting females
will be accepting them.
A pin is a serious thing, not for
the stones or met al which
wouldn't give you peanut money
in a pawn shop, but for the serious
idea which should be behind the
giving and receiving of a pin. It
should be a bond of love supported
by strict loyalty and mutual con
sideration. So think twice, ye lads
and lassies, before you indulge in
this custom.
