Study of Socialism.

The Society for the Study of Social
ism is planning series of lectures by
prominent local and outside speakers
on various phases of the problem. The
membership of the society is composed
not solely of socialists, and the object
of the organization is to study the
faults as well as the advantages of So
cialism, rather than to further the So
cialistic propaganda. Miss Lucy Burle-
son, daughter of Postmaster General
Burleson, who is a student in Colum-
bian College, at the university. formerly
was a member of the society.
The Engineering Society will hold
monthly meetings. at which papers on
interesting subjects will be read by
members. Occasional lectures by out
siders will be scheduled Several trips
of inspection to engineering plants Will
be made during the year.
The Chemical Society expects to be
under way within a month. Its pro-
gram for the year includes the presen-
tation of technical papers, the deliver
ing of illustrated lectures, the taking
of inspection trips. and number OF
social meetings. ---.... -....-.----

big. ". j. ASSOCIATIONS
Fraternities and Sororities Getting
Ready for the Opening Of
University Term.
Smokers, Teas, Luncheons and
Dances Listed-"Players" to
Reorganize.

With but a few days remaining be-
fore the opening of the collegiate year
at George Washington University, stu
dents are preparing for the reorganiZa-
tion of the numerous clubs. societies
and organizations maintained at the
institution. The university opens We'd
nesday morning.
The fraternities and sororities will be
the first organizations to get in full
swing. Many of the members have
been out of the city for the summer
and reunions will be held. Programs
Of smokers, teas, dances, luncheons and
other festivities now are being ar
ranged. New students will be invited
to visit the various fraternity and So
rority houses preparatory to the pledg-
ing of new members. By order of the
National Pan-Hellenic Association, the
four sororities at the university will
not admit to their. membership girls
who belong to high school sororities.
Notice of this stand was sent to the
various high schools last spring.
Glee Clubs Plan Activities.
The Mems Glee Club is planning a
busy season. Weekly rehearsals will be
held and several concerts will be given
during the term. 1t is likely the club

Club is outlining a similar program.
The University Orchestra, which plays
at the official and student festivities of
the institution. is expecting big addi-
tions in membership.
The George Washington University
Players will reorganize and will pre-
sent one or two plays during the year.

players presented Sweet Lavender" at

The Enosinian Literary Society, the
Oldest student organization at the uni
versity. will be given new life this
year. This society dates far back over

of many famous persons.
The Columbian Debating Society and
the University Congress will be re-
organized. and will hold weekly ses-
sions at the Law School, in New Ma
sonic Temple, 18th street and New York
avenue northwest. A university debat-
ing team will be selected before Christ
mas, and it is likely that a number OF
intercollegiate contests will be ar
ranged. Negotiations were started last
spring for a triangular debating Cir
cult, but arrangements have not been
completed. 1t is probable debates will
be held with the University of Penn
sylvania and Washington and Lee.
