PI KAPPA ALPHA PLEDGES SHOW WHY their fraternity is leading in the hook drive which is currently being conducted on the campus. The hooks collected will go to the U-M library at the present time the Pikes are far out in front of all the other organizations which are taking part in the drive. From left to right Earl Wilhaum, Larry Ogle, Larry LalTerty, Louis LaFontisee, Barney Shrader and Gordon Galloway load the books for delivery.
THE RACE IS ON TO SEE WHICH FRAT can require its pledges to dress the “craziest” during Hell week. Representatives from Pi Lambda Phi and Pi K ippa Alpha get together here for a discussion on their respective wardrobes.

Plan Introduced By Cane Editorials Adopted Here After Long Campaign

The faculty evaluation system will become a reality on campus Monday and Tuesday.
Members of service organizations will distribute mimeographed questionnaires to all classes on these days and students will judge their instructors on such factors as knowledge of the subject, fairness in marking, organization and presentation of material, and ability to stimulate interest.
An all-out concentrated campaign by students, combined with faculty and administration cooperation, finally precipitated adoption of the plan at the University.

Other colleges and universities have become interested in the U-M plan and have sent inquiries to the administration about the progress c.' the evaluation campaign. The program is part of NSA’s national platform.

FROM MISS TO MRS. IN TWO DAYS is in the future for this smil-
ing Hurricane Honey. Hannah Diamond, a 5 foot, 4 inch, 120 pound lass, will take the nuptial vows Sunday afternoon. The Miami-bred girl is a Beach High graduate and a business education major. Hannah’s favorite sport is tennis, and rightly so, since she was a net champ in high school. If the bride-to-be will drop in the Hurricane office around 2:30 Friday afternoon, a Hurricane staffer will present her with an orchid for a wedding present.
