Directions for Exit,
Entrance May Solve Congestion Problem
Continuance of the seven-point plan inaugurated last j semester to alleviate the traffic confusion created during the change of classes in Bridge hall has been announ- j ced by the Greater University 1 ! committee, with the hope ' that students will cooperate j wholeheartedly to make the j plan successful.
"The purpose of our plan is to assist students and faculty members to reach their classes on time and ■ without having to struggle through the usual traffic bottle-neck found I Galentine; Jean Morf and Miss Lov-ell, committee member.
“We do not want students to think we are trying to ‘police’ the situation, but we are merely asking students to test the plan and see the advantages of following the J simple rules,” Miss Lovell added.
With the assistance of the Knights, Squires, and Amazons, the members of the Greater University j committee composed of Pat Hillings, chairman; Dick Eshleman;
Jack Gardetto; Hal Hodges; Norm |
Galentine; Jea Morf and Miss Lovell are directing the plan.
Students are urged to follow these seven suggestions for relieving the Bridge hall congestion:
1.	The front door of Bridge hall is to be used only as an entrance.
2.	Students leaving classes in Bridge hall on the south side of the building are to use the south side door exit.
3.	Students leaving classes on the north side of the building are to j use the north side door exit.

Twenty-One Coeds to Compete For ’Sweetheart of Sigma Chi’
The “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi,” traditionally selected from Troy’s sororities and dormitories to reign over the Sigma Chis annual formal dinner-dance, held this year at the Hollywood-Roosevelt hotel on March 1, will be chosen at a series of four dinners beginning tomorrow evening at the Sigma Chi house.
The field of 21 entrants will be diminished by seven at the first dinner, five more will be eliminated at the second, the race narrower by five at the third, and the Sweetheart and her two attendants picked from the remaining five at the final dinner Friday evening. The winners will be announced at 11 at the dance Saturday night.
To the victorious coed who is finally selected Sweetheart goes the Sigma Chi Sweetheart pin, the white cross of Sigma Chi surrounded with diamonds and in laid with saphires. Golden cups proclaiming them as the Sweetheart’s attendants will be presented to the two aides.
The selection of a Sweetheart is an annual affair for all chapters of the Sigma Chi of which the SC chapter has been justly famous. In 1932 the famous Pat Arena, Delta Gamma, was declared the sweetheart of all the Sigma Chis at their dance held in the Holly-wood-Roosevelt. Most consistent Sweetheart of Sigma Chis was the 1946 choice, Midge Hoerner, Delta Gamma. Her selection won for her the title role in the motion picture “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” and shortly there*-after she married a fraternity man. That’s right, he was a Sigma Chi.

Me Cormick was praised by Gebhart as having done a “terrific job” on the project.

Among the young artists appearing with the university orchestra in the annual concerto program in Bovard auditorium Friday, are Jules | Haywood, pianist and Harper MacKay, composer.
Hayward is making his first appearance with the orchestra on this occasion. Having entered SC in March. 1944. he studied under the accelerated program, finishing in two and a half years. During this time he was a student of Alice Ehlers and John Crown. Under their tutelage he was introduced to the mysteries of a formal musical education, for up to that time he had been practically self-taught except for two years under Raymond Morris, th? late Negro composer.
Composing is another musical interest of Haywoods: an intcre‘ which was rewarded by {he presentation ot “Exposition Park,” an original suite for piano, given in a student program in 1945. His selection for the concerto program is the first movement of Beefho-ven's Concerto No. 1 for piano and orchestra.
