GOODS FORM FRAT
First Sorority of Young Women
to Be Sanctioned by Angus
tana Authorities.
SIGMA PHI DELTA is NAME
Ten of the Fair Students to Consti-
tute the Personel-Banquet to.
Men on Program.

At last it has appeared Sh-h-h,
You mustn't tell anybody, but the CO
eds of Augustana have organized a
girl frat" in other words, a real So
rority! The name of it is the Sigma
Phi Delta, and the fair ones are using
real Greek letters to represent the
name. too. Some of them, who haven't
studied Greek, have been diligently at
work practicing how to write the
characters for several weeks. and are
said to be becoming very proficient.
There are about nine maids in the
sorority. but tbs rGmored that one adj
ditional coed is scheduled for mem
bership in order to round out the num-
Der to 10. One popular young miss
was initiated into the mysteries of the
new organization last week, much TO
the amusement of the other students
What happened in the star chamber
of the sorority no one knows, but part
of the ceremony was carried out in
the college chapel and halls. Among
other things, she was compelled to-
carry a cute little teddy bear" to
chapel exercises and to wear her pref
ty blonde hair bandaged in yellow and
green ribbons, the sorority colors.
She felt terribly embarrassed over the
ordeal. of course, and after it was
over she cried-just a little.
A Banquet, Too.
And now, to cap the climax, the
girls have decided to give a valentine
party next Monday for a select num-
Der of young men of the college. Each
girl had the privilege of inviting her
favorite gentleman friend, and al
though there were nine to be selected,
it's said that there wasn't the least bit
of quarreling about who should take
Percival Otto, Sven, Tub" or any
of the other fortunate gallants.
The lucky ones received their
bids" last week and to their surprise
and glee learned that the affair is TO
take place at the Harper house and
is to be in the form of a luncheon or
banquet All this is fairly unprece-
denied at Augustana, and the social
set is fairly aghast over the develop
ment and wondering what will happen
next The unanimous verdict is that
the sorority girls aren't "slow." 1t is
rumored that the event foreshadows
a number of similar social affairs to
be given this spring. The sorority IS
the first one sanctioned at Augustana
college.

SYNOD STIRRED
BY SNUFF ADV.
Three Column Display in the
Augustana Organ Brings on
Storm of Protest.
BOOK CONCERN ON CARPET
Editor Is Waited on by Committee,
but States He Is Obliged to
Live Up to Contract.

A SNUFF advertisement is the cause
of the whole trouble. Jan. % it ap-
peared in "Augustana,' the official or
gan of the Augustana synod. 1t was
three columns in width, and declared
that a Copenhagen brand manufac-
tured by the American Snuff company
of New York. is the best in quality
and cleanliness that is made on this
side of the ocean.
And now a storm of protest has
arisen at the college and in the synod
against the action of the Book Concern
authorities IN permitting the advertise
ment to appear. At the last meeting
of the Concordia society, the seminari-
an organization, a resolution was
passed denouncing the running of the
advertisement as being contrary to the
principles Of the church, and a COM
mittee consisting of o. Purn and e.
Holmer was appointed to confer with
the proper authorities.
Consult with Editor.
The committee waited on DR. L. A.
Abrahamson, editor of the publication,
Saturday. and notified him of the ac-
ton taken by the Concordia society.
Dr. Abrahamson told the committee
that the advertisement had been Sc
cured without his knowledge and a
contract signed for period of three
months. He was sorry that it had
been published, he said, but he could
not discontinue its publication until
tie contract expired.
Grant Hultberg, assistant manager
of the Book Concern, considered the
agitation against the advertisement N
the light of a joke. He could not see,
he said, why any objection should be
raised against it. The advertisement
was secured through the agency of
Mr.. Hultberg.
Start a Petition.
The total abstainers among the col
Iege and academy students are not
satisfied with the action of the semi
narians, and have started a petition
of their own to have the obnoxious
lad" removed Many communications
have also been received from various
parts of the synod Directing to the
advertisement. In the meanwhile,
however. the display advertisement Of
the snuff will continue to occupy the
upper part of three columns in "Au-
gustana' for the next three months.

THEY LOVED A LASSIE:" RE-
ERESHING

Quite out of the ordinary in musical
comedy is "They Loved a Lassie,"
which had its first local presentation
at the Illinois Saturday after long
run at the Whitney opera house, Chi
cago. There were afternoon and even
ing performances here, and both were
well patronized It is a perfectly bal
anced. smart. refreshing farce, with
music of a notable pretense to origin
atty. The play reads as old as Mary
Had a Little Lamb" but as presented
it seems brand new and tremendously
funny. Charlie Evans old sketch, IT'S
Up to William" is used as a climax,
and fits in engagingly. Mr. Evans.
who will be remembered as of the
good old team of Evans and Hoey, is
the star of the company. His dancing
set the audience into excessive ap-
plause, and his comedy was immense.
Dainty Alice Yorke reigned as lyric
queen throughout the performance
rendering exquisitely several pretty
ballads. Helena Phillips, who has been
compared to May Irwin, was a hit as
one of the wives. In its entirety "They
Loved a Lassie' is most inspiring and
different, and may take the eyes of
managers from the silly, over-dressed,
electric light advertisement idea of
public taste. The piece begins in a
well-made comedy manner, and no
music or chorus interrupts the pro-
logue until the curtain, when some
saucy and vocalizing suffragites are
brought on, gorgeously attired, for no
reason except to give color and action
to P finale. In the splendid Scotch
scene there is gathering of conspicu-
ously pretty girls who sing and dance
cleverly, and then they all go away
with the pipers and only come back at
the close for a capital song, Good
Bye, People"
