There are three times during
the college year when students
at Hampden-Sydney are apt to
develop ulcers: the two exani-
nation periods. and Pledge Day.
Sunday was Pledge Day on the
Hill the day when the eight
social fraternities on the cam
pus accepted new members into
their brotherhoods.
Actually. the two days before
Pledge Day are the days when
the ulcers are formed. This is
the time that is designated by
the 1nterfraternity Council as ST.
lent Week End. During this two
day period, no fraternity man is
allowed to associate in any way
with member of the freshman
class. The five days prior to ST
lent Week End are filled with
Smokers, the period devoted
to the issuing of bids, and the
explaining Of the workings of

Ahead of 1862
Through the first 10 months
OF 1868. the building statistics
compare closely with those for
the first 10 months Of 1862. Oc-
tober's permits of $751; ,535 gives
1868 total Of $7OO,695 in con
struction for 70 permits. AT the
same stage last year. 81 per
mits had been issued for a total
value of 1858, $50.
1t will be interesting to see if
the construction total for 1868
goes over the $800,0OO mark. Last
year, for the first time in four
years, building construction in
Farmville and Prince Edward
failed to reach this mark.
With two months to 60, it
seems safe to say that 1863 S
total will surpass 1925 $728 900
however.
