;t. The devotion of Mr. and Mr . Le­land F. Leland to the cause of frater­nities, long known and appreciated by fraternity men a nd women, h a prompted them to pre ent to National Panhellenic Conference a beautiful trophy. The FRATERNITY Mo TH trophy wa awarded for the first time a t the meeting of N.P.C. in November, 1953, to and, on the basi of College Panhellenic repre entation of fraternity ideals and standards during the col­lege years 1951-52 and 1952-53. It will be a " traveling award ' to be pas ed on biennially.

The Committee on the FRATER ITY Mo TH A ward ha taken a the ba is for the award the tandards e tab­lished by National Panhellenic in that part of its Panhellenic Creed which reads:

"We, the Fraternity undergrad­ua te members, tand for good cholar hip, for guarding good

health, for wholehearted cooper­ation with our college' ideals for student life, for the maintenance of fine social standards, and for the serving, to the best of our ability, of our college community. Good college citizenship a a preparation for good citizen hip in the larger world of alumnae days is the ideal that hall o-uide our chapter activitie .'

t How does one sort out impressions fol-lowing the 8,200 mile motor tour of the

west- with the nose of the car leading the way across Indiana, Illinois, Missouri , Kansas, Oklahoma, T exa , New M exico, ·Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Wash­ington, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wis­consin-and home? The mind is like a kaleidoscope-and yet- bit by bi t- certain images form ; and, in the remembering, an­other dimension is added to the pleasure of the actual experience. One remembers especially contrasts: contrasts in roads, in temperature, water, trees, mountains, rock forma tions, people. A vacationing motorist notices-perhaps first- the

roads .. . the wide, smooth, straight road of a Turner Turnpike; the long, tedious, dusty-bumpy, tar-smelling detours; roads through the desert, and the relief of "Desert Center" with its ice cream bar and ice water ; roads that climb up and up and around in Yosemite National Park with signs saying "slow" ... "sharp curve" . . . "one way" . .. "sound your horn" ; roads cut in the side of the cliff in the Buffalo Bill country of Wyom­ing ; roads through nothing ; roads on high , cattle-grazing plateaus and through rich farming lands; and then the "home stretch" road back in the Hoosier State. . Im­portant too is the

temperature with its extremes of hea t­white hea t-sizzling heat-stiflng heat in the desert and the winds tha t burn- and then the blessed coolness of mountain gu ts and ocean breezes and the sight of

water . .. or the lack of it. (How did our forefathers survive the crossing of tha t wide expanse from the Missi ippi to the Pacific? I tak my ha t off to grea t-granddad!) There were th rivers dried up completely through the parched outhwest. Yet we aw water . . .

Yosemite Fall . . . Yel­lows tone Falls; the unbelievable and breath­taking blue wa ter of Crater Lake . . . the mighty ocean and the beautiful flower-be­decked beaches . . . the crossing of the waters of Juan de Fuca Stra it on a Canadian ship to historic Victoria . . . the picturesque Columbia River ... the never-failing "Old Faithful" . . .

Schofarjhip R eprinted from the " Kappa Alpha Theta"

t "THE role of Scholarship in Membership Selection and Pledge Training" is one of

the topics on which college chapters have been contributing their ideas this year for use in our magazine.

Many chapters have responded with fea­tures on that subject, the four deemed best being reprinted below. All chapters are urged to read them for the suggestions they make and the viewpoints they express. Typical of ideas expressed on the subject were the e: "Our reasoning is that if a girl applies herself and is succe sful in scholar­ship, he is very likely to do well in other fields also."- Wanda Bash, Delta, University of Illinois. . . . " If a girl works diligently and receives for that work the highes t marks she is capable of, then she has done her part. Anything below that is poor scholarship."­Povy Lafarge, Beta Gamma, Colorado State. . . . "A girl who has many activities and average cholarship ' is also an asset, but one who sacrifices scholarship for activities is always questionable." - Barbara Cole, Beta Phi, Pennsylvania State.

Purdue's Scholarship Campaign Results in Campus Record

Bv Juov KIRKPATRICK

Alpha Chi, Purdue University

Just as every Phi Beta Kappa isn't an Ein­stein, so every Theta isn't a genius. How­ever, beginning with the 1951-52 rush season here at Purdue, the Alpha Chi Thetas be­gan a campaign to select pledges with above­average grades and to raise and maintain a high scholarship level within the chapter.

We began with rush. During the formal rush season, when we eliminate many girls in 0ne sh0rt period of time, the rushee's grades (as released from the office of the Dean of

9

Women) are mentioned . Last year when there was a choice between two girls, her grade index was an influencing factor in the choice.

After pledging, our pledge trainer, scholar­ship chairman, and advisory board scholar­ship chairman took over. The pledges' grades·were checked periodically by all three of these officers, and cutting of classes was held a t a minimum by them ( this also held true with upperclassmen). Quiet hours throughout the day and evenings with a "closed door" policy were observed ; and many signs appeared on door , saying, "Please don' t di turb, sister - tomorrow's test day !"

The scholarship chairman had a file of class cards, containing a record of all the courses the girl had taken, her grades in each course, and a schedule of her pre ent classes for that semester. This filing system is still being used. The pa t class records were used in coun eling orne pledge (or ac­tive) in any troublesome course. Class schedule were used in the periodic checkin~ of test grades, and also for conflict for at­tendance at 4:00 o'clock rush parties.

A vital part of Alpha Chi's extensive scholarship program i the mother-daughter sys tem, in which the mother (or "big si ter" ) helps her sorority pledge daughter find help with her studies, check with her about her grade , and sugge t helpful hints on study­ing. Thi program can go as far as to stud together nightly, but the whole system is up to the individual mother and her daughter, for them to use their di cretion in deciding the course to follow. Shhhh, don't tell, but occasionally we find our " daughters" helping their "mothers" with their homework !

The rewards of all thi campaigning on scholarship are the campu chola tic rating

10 THE ANCHOR

and the annual chapter scholarship banquet. This past spring, the Alpha Chi Theta pledges (initiated this November) received the Junior Panhellenic cup for having the highest index of any sorority pledge class; and the chapter placed first in the all-campus rating, setting an all-time high record. At the scholarship banquet this past November, annual awards were presented-including the "Improvement Ring" and the individual scholarship award and thf: pledge class scholarship plaque. The incentive was great enough that the girl having the highes t in­dex had a 6.0 (equivalent to "A" plus) index.

Thus we see Alpha Chi Thetas in action on the scholarship band-wagon. It rolled to first place in the campus race this past year; and with plenty of intelligent new pledges this February, it should keep on coming in at the winning place.

Tulsa Emphasizes Importance of Good Examples

BY MARY Lou FosTER Gamma Tau, Tulsa University

When a Theta writes or thinks about scholarship she is usually referring to grades, but true scholarship exceeds this definition. Scholarship is an ideal, a state of mind. It is the basic reason for going to college. It is an objective to strive toward . Scholarship is the a ttempt to learn, the intelligent Theta's effort a t improving herself and her chapter.

Scholarship develops an invaluable sense of responsibility. As each member works at achieving the desired grade average, so every girl feels her part is important. A sense of per onal pride, pride in other Thetas, and pride in the chapter is gained from working toward the common goal. While each Theta is painting her portion of the raising-of-the­grades picture she wants to raise her own standard higher.

The scholarship of every Theta influences the whole chapter. The goal which is more important than "me" teaches cooperation and obligation; therefore scholarship is es-

sential for membership. The girl who can­not or does not make her grades has not learned why she is in college. She will hinder the whole chapter.

However, scholarship, while a basic re­quirement, is not the only requirement. The qualities of friendliness, helpfulness, high moral and social responsibility are as im­portant as scholarship. All go to complete the well-rounded Theta.

Pledge training is a perfect opportunity to develop good study habits, show the im­portance of scholarship, and set a high stand­ards of grade . Pledges should realize from the beginning that maintaining a high grade average is one of the most important ways of proving their loyalty to their sorority. The new Theta should be taught that study hours are not a punishment nor a method of pledge hazing but a real help.

Members must be a good example because the pledges will respond as easily to a bad example as to a good one. The memory of a member who slept through a class or turned in a la te term paper remains with a pledge longer than the pledge trainer's talk about a proper study a ttitude.

M embers can. give the pledges a sense of achievement and responsibility. Seeing abil­ity in a member, a pledge becomes aware of her own duty to the sorority and herself. R espect for the efforts of the members as a whole is the incentive to a high pledge grade average.

Attitude Toward Schola rship Gets Attention ·at Rollins

BY SARA WHITTEN

Gamma Gamma, R ollins College

In electing girls as pro pective Thetas, it i most important that we consider scholar­ship and look for tho e girls who will under-tand the importance of triving for good

scholarship and will in turn be a credit to our fraternity . Thi does not alwa s mean the girl who came from high chool " ith a straight "A" average, but rather the o-irl who

THE ANCHOR 11

will apply herself to college life and b ea rn­e t in her efforts to learn.

As soon as a girl becomes a pledge, she takes on, in addition to responsibility to her­self, a duty to the fraternity. We feel tha t this added respon ibility will strengthen the girl' attitude and therefore make her a better person and a better fra terni ty member.

Scholastic competition plays a large role in college life. In being a pledge, a girl realize tha t she mu t m ake pecific grade in order to become a member, and in being a member she al o feels stimulated to help maintain the standard of her chapter on the campu . We feel that a ba ic part of pledge training sho.uld contain honest efforts to make the girls aware of these goa ls. Some of the practice which our cha pter employs are as follows:

Weekl y study halls for all pledges and additional study halls for those whose grades a re not up to standard.

As igning a "Big Sister" to each pledge who is to be a guiding hand in helping the girl realize where she is falling down and assisting with the promotion of good study habits.

K eeping tab on the grade of all members and presenting an award a t the end of each quar­ter to the girl with the highes t average. We have a separa te trophy for the highest ra nking pledge.

We all rea lize tha t one of the main criti­ci ms of fra ternities is the poor scholarship sta nding which some of the groups have; therefore, it is up to us who have the privi­lege of fra ternity membership to stress the role of scholarship in our membership selec­tion and pledge-training program to the ex­tent that it will be evident to all. We want Thetas to rank high in everything and it has been demonstrated over and over that those who maintain high scholarship will usually lead in other fields.

Penn's Aim Is Balance Between Social and Academic

Bv CoNNIE NoRRIS

Beta Eta, University of Pennsylvania

In our scholar hip manual w r ad the lines, "The intellectual ambition of th fra ­ternity shall be the a tta inment of th h igh­est cholarship." As our educa tion is our pu rpo e for coming to college, we should

.keep our cholar hip goals foremos t in our mind when we take on the responsibili ty of belonging to a fra ternity. In choosing our membership, it is easy to judge a girl by h r socia l poise and personality, but we m u t re­member that a girl who does not thi nk of her education seriously and who doe not meet the univer ity standards of atisfactory scholarship cannot contribute anythi ng to the fra ternity. ·

Although we ca nnot know too much about the scholastic ability of new student who pledge fra ternity, the period of pledge train­ing provides an ideal ti me for stres upon the importance of college work in its rela tion to fra ternity. It is well for student to be in constant contact with a group such as a fra­ternity in which there is consta nt concern about method of study and the atta inm nt of a t least an average standi ng in chool grading.

During pledge train ing each girl i re­quired to record her grade in the fra ternity notebook o tha t she, a well a those al­ready ini tia ted , can be aware of her chola -tic standing. Thus tutoring may be provid­ed if necessa ry and the girl who ha not been taking h er work eriously finds tha t he mu t rea lize her cli ff ulty and correct i t if he i to be accepted . R eal problems of cholar h ip are handled carefully and seriou ly o that the fra ternity ocial life will not interfere with a girl 's need for tudy. A pledge lea rn a very importa nt le son du ring tra ining and this follow through in her whole college career of fra ternity life : that the ocial aspects of her life may balan e bu t mu t never over hadow the academic goal which are constantly before her.- R eprinted from the Kappa Alpha Theta .

Bv Crssv WELCH, Upsilon

;\; WE have all hea rd freshman girls say, " Sure, a orority is fine the four years in

college but what good will it do me la ter on?" H ere are a few answers I always give.

A orority will help a young girl grow into a woman pleasantly and gracefully. A sorority will help a young girl stay in touch with God and keep practicing all the les­son taught by her parents after she i away from her parents' guidance. If a orority girl will live up to the idea ls of her sorority while he is in college, the rules for a good , wholesome life ca nnot help but become so much a part of her tha t for the res t of her life they are constantly with h er. A sorori ty, as a ll sorority girls know, is more than a social organization. It' a big, wonderful family that throws a warm, friendly glow over all its members- a glow tha t gives self­confidence and poise; two qualities that are

so essential to beautiful womanhood. No girl wants to be a wa llflower and a

sorority usually tries to see to it that she isn't. Social life is important, fitting into a certa in group is im portant, and being popular and appr iated is important. All of u xp ct to be leader and good citizen in the om­munity in which we li ve. Abov all , a girl wants to be a good mother, a mother who is tactful and gracious to her child 's guests and sees that in her home everyone feels com­pletely at ease and welcome. A girl who a -sume responsibility in a orority, tha t in turn is active on the campus, cannot keep from being better prepared for life. Too, nothing could be more pricele than the everlasting friendships made in a sorority.

Yes, we all have many answer for tha t fre hman girl's question, "What good will a sorority do me later on after college?"

Wh~ J Plelrd _A~ha Stfjma 'Jau

;\; I PLEDGED Alpha Sigma T au sorority only after much deliberation. I visited several

sororities as much as the Alpha Sigma T au, one in particular, and tried to evalua te them equally.

What did I want from a sorority? A beautiful house ? NO! I wanted a friendly group of girls that I would be proud to call my sisters. I wanted a group of sisters who have the same high ideals that I have, a group who would share my troubles as well as my joys. At the last rush party at each of these two houses, I thought of the things I

13

did or did not like about each girl and I could not think of an Alpha Sigma Tau member whom I did not like very much. Thi was not true in the other orority. To each of the members of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority their sweetheart ong eemed to mean omething deep and per onal. It ' a not just another song. The fact that each member of this sorority is ati fi ed in her sorority is shown by her eagerne to work for her own group, and by that smile of hap­piness tha t i alway on her face. Thi feel­ing I wanted also and I have found it in the ALPHA SrGMA T Au SoRORITY.

<\:. JusT as the spirit of fraternity that char-acterizes Alpha Sigma Tau bridges geo­

graphical distances, so, too, does it bridge the distance of many years. The warmth and lasting integrity of those first fraternal friend­ships I experienced has since then been found again and again in many places in friend­ships during succeeding year . The loyalty and fun of that founding crowd whose extra­curricular activities centered largely around · the chafing dish, I have found again and again down through the years wherever Al­pha Sigma Tau sisters meet. I have been asked to tell you something of what it means to me to find new friends in Alpha Sigma Tau. Once I crossed the continent traveling from Michigan to the State of Washington and because of the deep interest of one of our first sponsors, Mrs. Effie Lyman, who was ever alert to the whereabouts of our grow­ing alumnae, I enjoyed the companionship of several of our members there. Then I returned to Michigan and membership in the large and very active Detroit Club. H ere was the same quality of freely given, loyal friendship. And then there was Flint. There was no organized alumnae club, and I missed the regularly scheduled D etroit meetings. I was teaching at the time, and on the faculty of the public school where I taught was

Eloise Howe with whom I had much in com­mon, but it was nearly a year before her pin identified her as an Alpha Sigma Tau, and we wondered simultaneously, "What shall we do about it?" It is good to think that we had something to do with the start­.ing of the Flint Alumnae Club. But I must not forget another important, although brief fraternal a ociation along the way. My mother's illness necessitated my stay in Roch­es ter, Minnesota, for a period, and a orority sister of our whose hu band was on the med­ical staff at Mayo's wa warmly ho pitable during a time that might otherwi e have been lonely and difficult.

In 1947, it wa not ea y to say "good bye" to my friends in the Flint Club when I crossed the continent again to make my home -my permanent home-on the West Coast. It wa di appointing to discover that there was no Alpha Sigma T au Alumnae Club in the San Franci co Bay Area. I've mi ed that special sen e of belonging-that contin­uity of intere t and friendship that ha al­ways been o much a part of our fraternal association . Always, and down through the years.

And so with the beginning of an Alumnae Club in Lo Angele there i a surance once more of "All Sister Together."

Dorothy Nace of Pine Mountain will show slides and talk to your group.

;1". FRATERNITY extension during the past few

years has been phenomenal in its inten­

sity and broadness, with more than 600 chap­

ters, placed on 209 campuses, by fifty-four

member fraternities of National Interfrater­

nity Conference. Since 1948, NIC frater­

nities have been welcomed to forty cam­

puses where none had operated before.

These facts provide an effective answer to

critics and deplorers of the fraternity con­

cept; they indicate that fraterniti es have

been making their worth evident to school

administrators and students alike.

;\; "Now if anything wa to happen when I'm gone, you fellers send for tha t doctor­

woman first!" More tha n one father left to work away from home with this admonition. And many were the emergencies in pas t years in which the doctor was the only aid.

Just forty years ago this month a small band of women made their way into thi> valley to begin building the Pine Mountain Settlement School. They ta rted with no buildinas no road to bring supplies, no money." They had land given by William Creech who felt the urgent need for educa­tion, training, and medical care. They ha~ too, the help of neighbor who gave their timber and labor for the first buildings.

A nurse was in tha t small group and she concerned herself with her community . . . and enormous a rea of scattered homes. Early nurses and doctors traveled many rough miles caring for the sick and deliver­ing babies under primitive conditions.

It was the babies, sickly and emacia ted, who most urgently needed help. But there were other problems . . . tracoma, causing near-blindness to whole families, typhoid and sma llpox, uncontrolled by immunization, and the ever-present hookworm, weakening those who were already undernouri hed.

The school infirmary grew gradually into a community hospital as pa tients came to know that much better ca re could be given in its clean, restful wards. Almo t four year ago the hospital moved from over-crowded qua rter into a big, modern dormitory, We t Wind. Since then the newer building has undergone extensive ch anges to adapt it to it new u e.

R eprinted from " The Alpha Phi Quarterly"

;t FIFTY-Two to one represents sensational odds in any game- but consider that in

thi instance fifty-two stands for the number of known communists or subversive student organizations operating on the campuses today- and the one tands for the only known student organization dedicated to fighting communist infiltra tion on the stu­dent level, and to furthering the American Way of Life.

The names of the fifty-two are listed in the fil es of the Attorney General of the United Sta tes and the congressional investi­gating ·committee . (See "100 Things You Should Know About Communism" prepared and released by the Committee on Un-Amer­ican Activities, U . S. House of Representa­tives.)

The name of the ONE student organiza­tion is the STUDENTS FoR AM ERICA­headed by Robert Munger of Los Angeles, a tudent at the University of Southern Cali­

fornia. This organization's aims and pur­poses have been made the subj ect of a sena­torial report to the Sena te and been record­ed in the Congressional R ecord.

Do you find this ratio of 52-1 frightening and alarming?

As fraternity members-whose side are we on? Are we unwittingly giving S'lpport to some of these fifty-two organizations through fuzzy thinking or so-called liberal a nd ideal­istic beliefs?

As fraternity m embers- why should we be more concerned about this trend than other students?

Perhaps I can make the answer more m eaningful if I tell you how vividly the con­cept of fraternity as a patriotic organization came to m e. It was in Colonial Williams­burg where members of National Panhel­lenic and Interfraternity Conference had

21

gathered to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of Phi Beta Kappa in De­cem her 1951.

As we stood in the Apollo Room in the R aleigh T avern re-li ving the experience of the five young students of Willi am a nd M a ry College who had met there in that room in the year J 776 to form the first Greek letter fraternity, it became quite clea r tha t the secrecy which was so necessary to their meet­ings would not have been implicit if they had been ju t a group of congenial friends seek­ing enjoyment in discussing literary ma tters and inspiration for h igh ideals.

The secrecy was nece sary becau e the e student wanted most of a ll to discuss the thrilling and controversial events of their day. R emember that the nation wa only six months old, the Declaration of Independence was a document of momentous portent ; there were issues of the gravest concern to the people of the new country. R emember also tha t the Constitution and The Bill of Rights were not yet formulated- but the thinking which was to form the basis for American political and social right and privilege , was being done by the students and the educated people.

Freedom of a sociation, freedom of peech, freedom of press, etc., as we now have them were not yet realized and in the cia rooms of William and M ary College, the Ma ter still did the teaching- without d i cu ion which was forbidden with expul ion the penalty.

So, in order to di cu s and argue the e vital issues, it was necessary to leave the cam­pus and to meet in ecret in the village inn. The early minutes of Phi Beta Kappa record the interest with which the member di -cussed in a thoroughly democratic way the political and social problems of their count ry.

22 THE ANCHOR

The patnotJc concern is indicated again in the plan to establish other chapters of Phi Beta Kappa on college campuses of the other states, especially the New England states, *"where it would be advantageous in binding the several states together."

The founders of the Greekletter ystem were students much like the college studen t of today. The fraternity they founded re­flects the search and need for idealism, for spiritual force, for patriotism and for the in­spirational exchange of ideas; and the hun­dreds of Greekletter organiza tions to pat­tern them elves after this first one, have con­tinued to explore these ba ic needs and prin­ciples, building fine organization for thou­sands and thousands of students who have found membership a valuable experience.

That's why patriotism belongs in the fra­ternity picture today in another time of danger to our country from foreign ideolo­gy. That's why Na tional Panhellenic set up a hard-working and intelligen tly informed committee on Citizenship which has supplied our fraternity magazines with a great deal of fine ma terial to the end that fraternity peo­ple could be better informed on the Ameri­can Way of Life. And that's why Alpha Phis will want to accept the challenge.

Let's start by being realistic about the rising tide of anti-fraternity publicity-on the campus and in the press, radio, television and of late-in that uniquely "American" form of en tertainment-"The Comic Book."

T ake another look at the individuals or

organization causing this agitation. Who and what are they really cru ading for? I s it possible that in some instances at least, if you looked carefully you would ee the thinly . veiled communist line, perhaps care­fully disguised to appeal to youth and its idealism and sense of fair play? Look again!

Ye, it' high time to look at the organiza­tions which batter in istently at the basic fundamenta ls of fraternity. And it's time we recognize the now famili ar pa ttern which runs through every page of anti-fraternity publicity. It's all cut out of the same piece of cloth- and not cloth "made in America."

Per onall y, as Direc tor of Public R ela tions for Alpha Phi , I am very aware of the arne old charge . I'll accept hones t critici m, but I WoN'T be pushed around by leftist organ­ization and individua ls who would deny u the right to existence.

Do you join me In my "one-woman re­volt"?

If o, read som of the books to inform 'yourself about communism. You'll never find a more absorbing story than "THE WIT­NEss" by Whittaker Chambers-and the books by former communist are pretty thrill­ing adventure torie that ca rry a terrific im­pact.

THE AMER1CAN STUDENT is the name of the official new paper of the STUDENTS FoR AMERICA organization which you may con­tact by writing to Box 2124, Hollywood 28, California. R emember this the ONE thor­oughly American tudent organization that we know of-and it' worthy of your upport.

As Alpha Phi and members of National Panhellenic- lets tart a crusade to rever e the trend-and the Onns!

CovER P!cTURE

;\. WAYNE is the largest municipal university in the United States. In the December 22, 1951 , is ue of School

and Society, Wayne University was ranked 14th in enrollment among all colleges and schools in the United States . The only uni­versity under municipal control tha t enrolls more students is the College of the City of New York. Among universities under public control (state or municipal) Wayne ranked ninth in size.

One out of every fiv e students m ac­credited colleges and universities in Michi­gan is enrolled in Wayne University.

In the Scltool and Society report quoted the total of the enrollments in all of the ac­credited four year colleges and universities in Michigan was 78,934. The enrollment listed for Wayne University was 17,384, or 22 per cent.

Wayne University, while serving par­ticularly the people of the great metropolitan area centered about the City of D etroit, also draws students from all of Michigan, from other states, from Canada, and from other countries.

A count of the student enrolled in the spring semester showed the sources of Wayne students as indicated:

Cities of D etroit, Highland Park, H am­tramck, and Grosse Pointe (Note: High­land Park and H amtramck lie within the city limits of D etroit. Grosse Pointe touche Detroi ~ on the east.) 12,21 3.

Wayne County out ide of Detroit area, 1,968.

Other counties in Michigan, 1,813 Other tates, 219. Other countries, 201. A large proportion of the students enrolled

in Wayne University earn part or all of their expenses.

A study of student employment made in the I all erne ter, 1951-5 2 showed : 5 1.1 per

26

cent of full-time students gainfully employed, 85.7 per cent of part-time students gainful­ly employed, 71.5 per cent of all students gainfully employed.

Since World War Jl, the facilities of the University have been very considerably en­larged.

1948- STATE HALL, a general classroom building, wa opened for classes. .

1949- SciENCE HALL, a chemistry-physiCs­biology building for first and second year programs was completed.

1949- ENGINEERING BuiLDING-first sec­tion was placed in partial use.

1951-0LD MAIN-an eight-room addition was opened for use.

1952- ENGINEERING BUILDING - econd and third units were completed and put into full operation.

The buildina program of the University is continuing at a rapid pace. The following building are under construction :

M EDICAL SciENCE BUILDING-to house the undergradua te program of the College of M edicine.

KRESGE SciENCE LIBRARY- a gift by a private donor, designed to hou e and make readily available to u ers the extensive re­source of the Univer ity' notable K re ge­Hooker Scien tific Library.

UNIVERSITY GENERAL LIBRARY-to hou e the general collection of the Univer ity library.

Plans fm· the future campus are carefully made and some are expect ed to materialize in the near future. Some of the building. now being planned include:

;.\; SEVERAL months ago the telephones in. the Akron and Canton district began to hum ;

because Betty Snidow and Eloise J ulian had conceived the idea that these two cities needed an Alumnae Chapter . H aving been very active in their own collegiate chapter, , they knew just how to set the pattern fo r organization. Night after night they called A~Ts in Akron, Canton, and neighboring towns trying to find a spark of interest.

O n February 7, their dreams began to take shape and the first luncheon was held a t the Garden Grille. Barbara H emm, Ohio State Chairman, came from D ayton and had a most interesting talk on organization work, and what the alumnae chapter' s aim should be. At this meeting all the girls except one were ·interested. The Canton girls thought it would be bet ter to meet a t Canton one month and a t Akron the next. This plan was unanimously agreed to and tha t is the plan we are following.

On M arch 7, we had our second meeting

a t Yant's Cottage in Canton and by that time several new alumnae had been added to our list, so we drew up a petit ion for the organiza tion of ,the Akron-Canton Alumnae Chapter and elected the fo llowing officers: President- Betty Snidow, Akron ; Vice-Presi­dent- Barbara Bostwick Gordon, Canton ; Treasurer- Catherine Childers M eredith, Canton ; Secretary- Mi riam H erely Grunau, Hudson ; Historian- T helma Brezger Eggle­ston, Canton ; Chaplain - Norah Smead Cooper, Canton ; Editor- Sue eale M cBee, Akron ; A t. Editor- Lill ian Speidel Acker­man, Canton.

By this ti me there was m uch enthusia m buil t up among the group, so definite de­ta iled plans for installa tion and initi a tion were made.

On April 11, the chap ter was in ta iled a nd initi a ted by Mrs. Robert H emm, Ohio State Chairman, in the chapel of the YWCA. It was a most impressive ceremony. Eleanor

t. THE Alpha Chapter members at Michi-gan Sta te Normal in Ypsilanti has nom­

inated Lynn Furay as their representative to run for Normal's homecoming queen. Lynn is a junior from Detroit. She plans to teach in the ea rly elementary grades and is major­ing in English. The general chairman for homecoming is Betty Gustafson, and plans for the float are well underway. With all the members working on the decora tion com­mi ttee, the Alpha Sigs hope to have one of the nicer floa ts in the parade.

This semester two new patronesses are being welcomed to the Alpha Chapter. They are Mrs. Monahan and Mrs. Williams. An informal tea was held in M cK enny Hall O ctober 4. in their honor.

On October 31 a hayride with the brother fraternity, Sigma Tau Gamma, was held.

The coming year looks as though it will be a busy one as well as a good one for the Alpha Chapter.

t. BETA is looking forward to a busy year, even though we miss all our sisters who

are now alums. But we still have the memories of our house party, spring dance, and senior farewell at the end of last year.

M emorial Day Weekend we Betas climbed into a truck, with the overflow in cars, and headed for our house party at Little Crystal Lake. The weatherman cooperated with two sunny and warm days ideal for wimming, boating, and being outdoors.

Spring flowers decorated the Mt. Plea ant Country Club May 22, when we held our annual pring formal with our brother fra-

28

ternity, Sigma Tau Gamma. Our favors were miniature mugs bearing the ~T ere t. We thought J eanne Martin made a very pretty "Sweeheart of Sigma Tau Gamma."

Our last event of the school year was our Senior Farewell a t Jeanne Martin's home. Each enior was given a gift from the chap­ter ; and our advisor, Mr . M ary Garvin, gave the seniors delicate tea cup . We con­gratulated J oan May for being valedictorian of Central Michigan College's class of '53. We gave our about-to-be-marrieds-Alice Wil­cox, Dolores M ooney, and Liz Labbe-a piece of R evere Ware.

These were happy times, but Beta is al­ready busy with more-plans for our Home­coming float, our alumnae breakfast, fall rushing, cokers, and our Founder's Day des­sert.- MARIL YN SPURLOCK.

;\; ALPHA SIGMA TAu, along with everal other sororities at T emple University, has

a new lease on life-a PANHEL HousE. For years we have been without a defini te meet­ing place, and for years we have been cry­ing to the faculty about it. This year they took pity on us and remodeled an old dorm into a sparkling new Panhel House.

On the first floo r of the house is a lounge and kitchen used by all members. Then, on the second floor, there is a Ceremonial Room. H ere, each sorority can hold its pledgings and initiations. The re t of the house is composed of private rooms for each sorority. These rooms can be furni hed and decora ted any way the individual sorority wishes.

We have chosen a room painted a deli­cate shade of pink. With this, we have a deep brown rug and slip covers of a blend­ing color . Our meeting will be held here and we can use the room between classes for study or recrea tion.

Having this room at the Panhel H ouse, we feel we can build Lambda into a bigger and better chapter, and in this way we will be building for a bigger and better Alpha Sigma T au.-Gv.rEN KELLY.

;\; LAS T spring three new pledges were wel­comed in to the Nu Chapter. They were Pat Beckley, Mitsue Nakagawa, and Shirley Zabel.

~ THis year Sigma members held their sorority cottage at Sunset Bay from June

5-15. Thirty sorority sisters packed their summer clothes for one week at the beach. We rented two cottages and ate in th~ larger one with the wood burning fireplace. Our chaperons were Mrs. H elen Stebbens, Mrs . Doris Bald, and Miss Carolyn Doleman. The chaperons had a week of leisure, for the girls divided up all the chores. The cooks were : Barbara Leggett, Peggy Wild, June Getman, Dolores Bald, and Christine Kwiatkowski, who was chairman of foods. Some girls came prepared with lunches because they did not think they would be fed . They were sur­prised however with chicken, ham, and roast beef. No~ for some of the events that happened at sorority cottage. Peggy Wild tripped over a small stone, and threw her ankle out of place, she is still bandaged.

We had a joint party with Sig T au frat r­nity. To end a wand rful w k w had a wiener roast with dates on Sa turday, Jun 13. One of the boys had a mandolin and an­other had a harmonica, and we sat around the fire singing. A good time was had by all , who hope next year we can hav sorority cottage for two weeks.

A summer picnic was plann d for August 9. It was held at Jean R yckm an's ottage at Silver Bay in Canada. We had a down­pour of rain so the party was held indoor . It was a goodbye party for the graduating semors.

"A journey into space" was the th me for our informal rush pa rty, a t 7 :30 p.m., Wed­nesday, October 14, a t the R ob rtson Room of the Lafayette Church on Elmwood Ave­nue. Seventy-five girl were invited to a ttend. Refreshments erved were soft drink and sandwiches. The invitations sent out were paper 3-D glas es in fold ers with lett ring in­side. Chairmen of the committees were: Decora tions, Loi Hilbrecht; invitation , Grace Digati ; favors, June Getman ; refre h­ments, Peggy Wild ; program, T erry Scinta .

For entertainment we had a kit called "fashions of the future." Sorority girls were dressed as various planets. Each orority chapter was represented on the different planets. The model were: Barbara Leggett, Dolores Bald, Ca therine Sirface, and Paul ine Ro si.

down to " readin', writin' , and 'rithmetic." But before we completely settle down, let' look back over the summer and ee what has happened to a lot of our girl .

Right after graduation day here a t Long­wood, a lot of us took off for the beach . We stayed at the Carolina Hotel at Virginia Beach and had a perfectly marvelou time.

Then it was back to chool for orne of

us. Bobbie Assaid, Dee Steger, Mary Alice Ellington, Roberta Hamlet, and Johanna Biddlecomb liked Longwood so much last year, they decided to come back for the summer session. But Martha Donaldson, Marlene Lucas, Stephanie Bauder, Bettye M aas, and Molly Ann Harvey decided to be ca reer girls for the summer . Mary Rogers Button took off for New M exico where she had a n extended vaca tion.

When we rushed up to the room after we arrived back on the campu , we found a wondeful surprise next door. A kitchen for all the ororities here a t school has long been a hope and dream of the Panhellenic Coun­cil. Due to the Council of the yea r 1952-53, and to the College, our dream wa real­ized! The kitchen and cabinets are painted a pale blue. Incidentally, we have eight cabi­nets-one for each sorority here a t Long­wood. We also have a sink, stove, and two ironing boards, and we hope to have a re­frigera tor in the near future. We rea lly plan to take advantage of this kitchen­'cause we all love that "home cookin' ."

With thi beautiful new kitchen righ t next door to us, we were hit with the idea to make a few improvement in our room . We hope to buy a new coffee table, a drop leaf table, and odds and ends uch as picture , a ming garden, and table lighter . We feel j hat these things will make quite an improve­ment in our room and we're very anxious to get it to looking a nice a possible.-MoLLY ANN HARVEY .

in one corner of the room . S vera) pictures and a few multicolored sca ttered rugs just about drew the picture.

We decided to go really modern and re­decora te our sorority room. H ere's wha t happened .

First, we consulted several second-hand furniture stores for the best prices pos ible, and we sold all our furniture except the sofa. We were very fortunate to have a local in­terior decorator to help u with our selec­tions. Several pieces of furniture were pur­chased "on sale."

Our new furniture is blonde oak. We purchased a drop leaf table a t which the president presides and a three-sectional chest. The drawers, trimmed with pale rose leath­er, provide plenty of room for books and supplies. We selected a trophy case, lined with the rose leather, to hold a vast number of awards (our room is only one optimistic fea ture) ! T win beds were covered with solid gray upholstery ma terial, trimmed in a har­monizing designed material. These beds re­semble sofas, giving plenty of room for the girls to sit during meetings. A chair was also covered with the matching designed m a­terial. Several pillows of every size, shape, and color were scattered informally over the sofas. About the mos t modernistic feature is the huge pale green shell shaped lamp with ma tching shade which was placed on a black painted table between the sofas. M edium green fi sh net draperies were hung in the windows.

The walls were painted a cream color, and several old, but substantial wooden chairs were painted cream and green. A few har­monizing vases which had been stored away were placed on the tables. Several scatter rugs were dyed a m atching green .

Our project was financed by selling the old furniture, assessing four-doll ar "summer dues" from each member, and selling sand­wiches in the dormitories. Several mem­bers contributed paint, pillows, rugs, etc.

It was a delight to see sorority sisters co­operate together in such a worthwhile task. All the labor was furnished by sorority mem­bers-walls painted, curtains, pillows, and furniture covers made.

W ar all proud of our " n w" sorority room, not only b ca us it is mod rn and n­venient, bu t because it symbolizes an a u­mulation of id as, in teres ts, and coopera tion among its members.

If any chapter has considered redecorat­ing its sorority residences, Upsilon Chapter highly recommends it. With car fu l pl an­ning a nd management, it can be very inex­pensive, profi table and lots of fun .- CAROLYN H AYNES.

t THE fall semester has just begun a nd Phi Chapter is getting under way to plan

a schedule packed with fun for the oming year. Georgine M ayeaux is the new presi­dent of the Panhellenic Council here at Southeastern, and she is working hard with the other sororities on the campus to put much needed preference bidding into a tion .

M any of our girl won social honor for this school year. Betty Mcinnis wa elected co-ed vice president of the college and wa also honored as Rose of Sigma Tau Gamma.

~ " WE'RE off to college camp!" And away we rolled in the college bus to celebrate

local Founders' Day with the last big "shin­dig" of the year.

As soon as food and girls had arrived and had been unloaded, we gathered on the front porch to join in a song contes t. " Mama" Matthews, "Doc" Latimer, and Mi s Frank listened "with all their ears" and then judged the song written by the juniors as the win­ning song. After the contest Shirley Craw­ford was presented with her award as Psi's Top Tau. Then we all adjourned to the dining room and kitchen for our Founders' Day dinner.

When dinner was over and the stacks of dishes washed, several of the more ambitiou hiked to a nearby town. Others played bridge, sang, read magazines, or listened to stories told by "Doc" Latimer. On Sunday we played bridge, swam, boated, ate, and then played more bridge a we basked in the spring sun.

Two new members were added to Psi's roll early in second semester. They are Peggy Sacra, from Orange, Virginia, and Mary Jane Austin, from Bas ett, Virginia .

Campus elections brought many A~T girl into the spotlight.

one of u will ever forget the senior break­fas t, held after the Commencement Dance. A the girls with their dates returned to Lincoln House, they were served tomato juice, bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits, and coffee prepared by the underclassmen. When at 3 :30 a.m. the last dish was washed, we all tumbled into bed exhausted, but agreeing it was lots of fun . ·

This fall Lincoln House has received a face-lifting. We returned to find fresh paint brightening living room, hall, and porch . This inspired the girls living a t the house to paint their own rooms. Other improve­ment to be made include a new linoleum rug for the kitchen, new kitchen curtains, new sofa cover and drape in the living room.

made big plans to acquire some new frater­nal sisters.

We began our "campaign" early last sum­mer by writing letters of welcome to girls who were interested in a ttending Southwest Missouri State College, on which campus we are located. We introduced them to the ideals and aims of our organization ; told them we would be glad to hear from them by letter, or by phone if they were in town sometime; and promised to show them the campus and help them through registration. Those who answered seemed to appreciate our interest.

On the evening of August 7, we had our summer rush party at the home of vice president, Shirley Thompson. Ru hees were e corted to the patio where Barbara Petti­grew, rush chairman, pinned a name tag, in hape of a diamond, heart, club, or spade, on

each rushee. The evening was spent playing canasta and tally ca rd favors, inscribed with AlT, were given to rushees. A short, in­forma tive peech was delivered by Barbara Ann Scott, president. R efre hments and onversa tion completed a lovely evening.

The first of our fall rush pa rtie fea tured "Breakfa t at Alpha Sigma Tau" with emcee John Ca ey, of Sigma Phi Fraternity. Gifts to ru hee. included a wishing ring and cor-

sages. Commercials about AlT were sung by actives.

The econd was held on October 7, at H eer's Garden Room. The theme· was " School Daze" with banners, pennants, foot­balls, and basketball arranged about the room.

Our project for the coming year will be contributing children's clothing to the Nee­dlework Guild. The Denver girls will once again sew a fine seam and it is certainly a worthwhile cause.

Plans are being made for our Christmas party with husbands and friends as our hon­ored guests. Time and place are not defi­nite a t this writing.

M arianne Lamberty is becoming quite a world traveler. She spent the better part of two years doing special service work. Then after teaching school for a year in Colorado, she has left to do similar work in J apan.

Ardis· Christenson, a transfer from O mega, studied at M exico City College this past summer. A weekend of basking and wa ter skiing at Acapulco helped round out an eventful and colorful summer.

Juanita also vaca tioned in Old M exico. Of course, the rest of the group enjoyed va­ca tions in the state and elsewhere ; interest­ing, relaxing and perhaps even educational. - BEVERLY STROMSTAD and ARDIS CHRIS­TENSON.

;t. WITH a record enrollment of 3,321 in the fall of '53, the largest in the history of

the school and a 12 per cent increa e over last year, the prediction that we'll reach the 6 000 mark with the influx of the war babies b~ 1960 does not seem too remote. The physica l facilities of the college have been grea tly improved with the opening of the home economics and business educa tion units of the Practical Arts Building. Carpenters a re busy converting the interior of the old yellow-bricked Ad to take care of the needed expansion of the offices, Science H all is also being remodeled, and contracts h ave been awarded for the addition to the Library. In the administra tive and in tructional branches of the college, Alpha Sigma T au is trying to do its bit. We believe our sorority holds the record for staff appointmen t · on this campus, and perhap on any other campu , too, with the following Alpha T aus in the positions indicated : Nell Young, secretary to the president ; Thelma Hum­phrey, secretary to the director of men's activities; Jo Sharbak, newly-appointed di­rector of North Hall, a women's residence hall ; Wanda Stephens (who was graduated in '53 along with Jo ), employed in the music department as a gradua te as istant ; Evelyn Luecking, assistant professor of edu­cation in the laboratory school ; Frances Bots­ford , recently returned from the west coas t, employed as associate professor emeritus of business education for the fall quarter ; Ethel Himelick, assistant treasurer. Do you know of any other college having as many Alpha Taus on its staff?

In April' the alumnae group was enter­tained a t the home of Mis Grace D eHority with the special fea ture for the evening being the white elephant and bake sa le. (Would you like a mobile? Write our arti tic mem­ber, M ary Wallace.) The yea r' ac tivities ended with a pa rty and initia tion of the gradua ting seniors. This fa ll a pot-luck supper a t the home of H arriet Nel on started us out in a happy mood, and plan were mad for the usua l " in-betwcen-er" feed a t

Homecoming and the groundwork laid for Founders' D ay. Mrs. Neal (Mary Findling) John on, K okomo, was a pecial alumna guest.

In an alumnae meeting we find talk often turns to children and even grandchildren these day ! Josephine H arshman report tha t her daughter, Eleanor, was gradua ted from I. U. this summer and is now peech therapist at Mitchell, Indiana, while her son, R obert Lee (a econd-year man at Purdue), took an eight-weeks cruise on the USS Mis­souri to South America during the summer month . R achel Lantz's daughter, Janet, won the K iwanis music talent award in her home town las t pring, and this fall i a freshman at Ball Sta te. Thelma Humphrey's son, Joe, i a] o in college-engineering at Purdue-although he's hankering for big league ba eball. Linda and Sue Cro , young daughters of H elen Cross, played in the Bur­ris orchestra in state competition and the group won a first in its class. A real starlet i Linda Wagoner, daughter of J anice (Walk­er ) Wagoner, and granddaughter of Mr . W . E. Wagoner. Last spring Linda played the piano solo part of a Mozart composition with the Knoxville (T ennes5ee) Symphony Orchestra. Ye , our children a re growing up, doing interesting things, and achieving enviable aoals.-ETHEL HrMELICK.

;\". ON Sa turday, September 19, the Pitts-burgh Alumni Chapter held it first meet­

ing of the year at a luncheon a t Stouffers on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh. Since most of us hadn't een each other since las t prina we spent a lively hour "catching up" on all the news that happened during the summer - Our Peggy Dunlap set her wedding date to Robert M. Smith for September 25. The wedding took place in the home of the bride in Houston, Penn ylvania, with her i t r J ane, erving a maid of honor.

Jane is a competent, loyal, and enthusiastic alumna member who will serve Delta Chapter well in the coming year. Another A~T received recognition in the field of art. Miss Ruth Harbison won an honorable mention award in United States Steel Exhibition and her painting "John Sutton Hall-State T eachers' College, Indi­ana, Pennsylvania," was hung in the Junior Chamber of Commerce's Inter-Company Art Exhibition in Kaufmann's Auditorium.

In the meeting that followed a tenta tive list of activities was presented and approved for the coming year. Fran Clark volun­teered to have our yearbooks made to give to members at our October 23 mee ting at Ruth Harbison's home.

This year our aim is to increase the mem­bership of the Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter. We exteRd an invitation to all Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae in the Pittsburgh district to join the group. For further information, please contact Mrs. Peg Richards, 127 Brier­wood Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.- JEAN McKENNEY.

;\; BEFORE most of the St. Louis Alumnae could get away on various trips- far and

wide-we had a family affair. It was a com­bination picnic and swimming party, in July, at H edenkamp's R esort. It was quite differ­ent from anything we have had and it was quite successful.

The fragrance of bacon being grilled on a barbecue pit in Forest Park welcomed many of us to our annual Fall Breakfast, which was held in September. Tending to the de­licious food were Viola King, Rosalie Wones, lisa Simpson, and Elizabeth Wilson. The talking around the breakfast table seemed more like a travelogue, what with the girls talking of their visits to such places as Y el­lowstone Park, New York, and even Europe.

Right now in the offing are the Collegiate Rush Parties and Founders' Day Banquet­LILLIAN ScHACHTER.

;\; AGAIN we face a new year with unlimit d possibilities to make it the best in the his­

tory of our chapter. With such wi ll ing and enthusia tic officers, how can we fail?

As usual we plan to send clothing and supplies to the children at Pine M ountain. At our O ctober meeting we tried our luck at rolling bandages for the Cancer Dressing Sta tion .

In November we look forward to our Founders' Day Banquet in Alexandria, which is always an enjoyable evening.

Some of our members have received hon­ors which also brings honor to the Chapter. Alice Coon Stiles wa elected vice pre ident of the Panhellenic Association of Washington, an honor of which we are ju tly proud .

On M ay 14, of this year, the Panhellenic A sociation had as its guests four French girls, who are now students in various Amer­ican college . Mrs. Eisenhower rece ived the girls at the White Hou e, along with an honor guard of two hundred fifty officer and representatives of fraternities a nd orori­ties in the Washington area, which make up the Panhellenic A ociation. Those girls rep­resenting our sorority were Doro thy Gae , Kathleen K elchner, Mada Ray Sewell , and Alice Coon Stile ·. We are all hoping this will become an annual event here.

Not only have we been bu y but o ha Mr. Stork . Louise Miller K elly and Betty Lipps McNair both have boys born Ia t April.

With so much behind us, we now plan for the future.- SmoARTHA S. MAHAFFEY.
