Sigma Chi’s Won’t Tell, But Maybe It’s A Dance
You Laugh Or Lose On April 1 H-cane
Don’t go to the water-fountains next Friday. We don’t mean that the water will be poisoned, or any-hting like that—but you won’t find any Hurricane’s there. Nor any place else either.
There will be something to take the Hurricane’s place . . . the traditional April Fool Hooeycane. But don’t go to the water fountains, for ‘you won’t find any Hooeycanes there either.
In the Main building the Hooeycanes will be distributed from one spot only. On Thursday, April 1, you can get your Hooeycane from 9 until 1:30 at the cafeteria entrance to the patio. And on Friday, the same time and place. But don’t go to the> water fountains.
The Hooeycane will be a little different this year. In the first place, it will be strictly corn. In the second place the Hooeycane will be different. But don’t go to the water-fountains.—HVS
Sigma Chi moves in mysterious ways. They won’t tell us who they’ve nominated as candidates for title of Sigma Chi Sweetheart. They won’t tell us who’s arranging their dance. They won’t tell us who’s going to play the music. They won’t tell us what sort of refreshments they’re going to serve.
They’re not revealing any secrets.
All we could get out of them was that they’re having their annual formal dance at the Coral Gables Country club next Friday night from 9 till 12 p.m.
Sometime during the evening a femme fatale, U. of M. style, will receive the title of Sweetheart of Sigma Chi (from the song of the same name).
Nobody’s wanted without an invitation, the S.C.’s say, and if you do get a beckoning missive, you’ve got to drag a bag.
That’s all they say.—REG
