enough parties, dances, and other
affairs being givan to keep the
community from seeming a dull
place in which to spend the win
ter. On the social calendar are
many scheduled events for the
near future. Looming large on the
horizon is the annual jabborwock
which the Tau Chapter of the Del
Ia Sigma Theta Sorority will stage
at McCollester Hall, Friday even

Lenten prom, which will be held at
Graystone Ballroom, Monday even
ing, Feb. "a, will also be a bril-
liant affair. They tell us that this
pre-Lenten prom will be given in
the typical Nacirema way.
Another approaching event which
promises to prove extremely en-
joyable will be the annual cabaret
and Valentine party, to be given by
the Detroit branch of the National
