KANSAS STATE TEACHERS ÂˇcoLLEGE OF PITTSBURG

FRONT COVER PICTURE: The Student Union building on the campus of Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg.

â&#x20AC;˘ KAN SAS STATE TEACHERS CoLLEGE of Pittsburg was founded in 1903 as an adjunct of another sta te school. In observing the golden a nniversary, a series of program s on campus and in alumni centers will be conducted throughout the academic year 1953-54. In 191 3 the college secured independent sta tus and awa rded baccalaureate degrees for the first time. In 1929 a graduate program was added , leading to the m as ter of science degree. Today twelve d epartments provide curricula in professional educa tion, liberal arts, industrial arts, and education and in preprofession al training in engineering, medicine, law, and technology. Master's degrees are offered in education, industrial education, commercial educa tion, biology, chemistry, language and litera ture, m a thematics, psy~hology, and social science. Dr. W . A. Brandenburg was n am ed first president in 1913. Under his leadership the school grew from three buildings to sixteen, located two miles south of the business district, where the school began. The student body increased from 450 to 1,350 a nd the faculty from forty to 177. Dr. R ees H. Hughes became the second president in 1941 and guided the college through the war years and its great post-wa r growth. This period saw the plant increased from three to five million dollars, covering sixty acres, while the enrollment climbed to n ew records. One of four ultra -modern structures completed in this period is shown on the cover: the a ttractive air-conditioned student center completed in 195 1. K ansas State T each ers College is among the top ra nking sta te teacher-training institutions of the n a tion and ranks among the first three in the field of industrial a rts and education. Future plans include the construction of m en's residence h alls, n ow underway, supplem enting two residence h alls for women, one of which was finish ed in 1951. An active extension program reach es twenty-five communities in the area and the college originates radio and television programs to complem ent this coverage. This quick, broad growth is exceptional in the reference life of educational institutions. Yet it has always been stable, in large pa rt on account of administra tive consistency. Doctor Brandenburg served twenty-seven years as president, _and Doctor Hughes is beginning his fourteenth year, after four years of associa tion with the school as a visiting professor. Eta Eta ch apter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was among the first sororities to grace the campus and had Doctor Brandenburg as pa tron . Miss Eulalia R oseberry was the first adviser of the chapter and is now a p a troness. After fort y years of service to the school , Miss Roseberry is now retired professor of geography. She still resides in Pittsburg.

• As we pay tribute to the founders of Alpha Sigma Alpha on thi , our fifty-second anniversary, let us pause to con idcr the pirit that motivated the organization a nd inevitable growth of our sorority. Our founders had vision, yet they were not visionaries. They regarded their idea ls as attainable; they believed their goals could be realized. Because of qualities of leadership, cooperation, and service shown by this initial group, ideals became realities, avowed purposes were converted to achievem ents. The membership of Alpha Sigma Alpha has multiplied many times si nce our founding and the opportunities for service have increased proportionately. E ach Alpha Sigma has an opportunity to project the spirit of our founders on the campus or in the community. Like our found ers, let u do, not drea m; let us work together to transla te our ideals a nd aims into realities. -EvELYN G. BELL, National President.

AWARD TO

AMY M . SWISHER THE WILMA WILSON SHARP AWARD

â&#x20AC;˘ SoRORITIES pay homage to those builders who laid their foundations and put up the beams for the super-structure. Far too often we neglect to honor those who have caught the torch and carried it high , careful to keep the flame alight for the ones who are to follow. It is for the latter reason that all of the members of Alpha Alpha chapter, both active and alumnae, are proud and happy to present Miss Amy M . Swisher, AA, as winner of the Wilma Wilson ,Sharp Award for 1953. There is a natural tendency for those in Alpha Alpha, to eulogize her only for the outstanding work she has done in Alpha Sigma Alpha, when well we know that the characteristics which she exhibited as our leader and adviser for so many years, have also contributed to her accomplishments and success in other fields. In September, 1917, Miss Amy came to Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, as assistant professor of art education . In 1920 she was appointed head of the departmen t, and in 1945 she attained the rank of full professorship in the D epartment of Art Education. After receiving her M.A. in June, 1927, from Columbia University, she continued her studies at many of the outstanding art schools in the country, adding forty hours of work beyond her Master's degree. H er major endeavor, during all her years of teaching, was in the field of crea tive arts, in-

eluding pottery, weaving, block printing, and silk screen printing. Because of her outstanding work at the University, she was awarded the Carnegie Scholarship for Summer school in Fine Arts at Harvard University in 1938. As the first director of art in the Ohio Congress of Parents and Teachers, greater interes t in all types of art appreciation and creative arts was developed throughout Ohio. During her eight years as art chairman she contributed regularly to the Ohio PTA Magazin e, with illustrated articles on creative arts and interior decoration, as well as art appreciation. Through her efforts, Tau chapter of Delta Phi Delta, national honorary art fraternity, was established at Miami University. Her office as regional director for the Eastern Area kept her busy for a number of years. She also held various administrative offices in the Southwestern Ohio Teach ers Association, in which capacity she arranged programs for annual meetings, organized exhibits, and demonstrations. Yet the record of her activities is not complete without m entioning her avid interest in church work, where she served as director of Young People's Group and was a member of the official board. She always found time to take an active part in community affairs and civic projects, besides meeting the many social demands required

THE PHOENIX

of her as a m ember of the fac ulty. H er many interes ts a! o included literary clubs and other women's organizations. All of these accomplishments and activities would more than fill the life of the average person. Even as we write this brief resume of Amy's career to da te, we are amazed and wondering how she found the time to devote herself so fully and tirckssly to Alpha Sigma Alpha. The alumnae of Alpha Alpha are most deeply appreciative of her constant efforts to hold th e group together during the long, h ard year wh en the chapter was inactive on the camp u. . She never lost sight of the goal, and through h er inspiration and loyalty toward a purpose we were h eld together physically, a well as spiritu ally. Her darling littl e Cape Cod cottage, a stone's throw from the campus, was the scene of many a happy reunion during those barren days of Alpha Alpha. It was th ere on a Sunday afternoon in September, 1948, that the nucleus of various alumn ae ch apters was formed- Middletown, Dayton, O xford , a nd Cincinnati. In 1949, the work to reactivate and reorganize Alpha Alpha ch ap ter began, under Miss Amy' s gu ida nce. Although h er retirement from the Miami faculty came before the formal ceremonies, her was the guiding h a nd tha t spurred us on. Tolerance, understanding, a nd loyalty go hand in hand ; and because sh e possesses all three of these qualities, he h as attained, in life, some of the rare achievements which few of us ever hope to enjoy. H e r most recent contribution for the betterment of Alpha Sigma Alpha is in the form of a gradu ate fellowship, which was announced at the 1952 national convention. Since her retirement, sh e has been living in Delaware, Ohio, with h er two sisters, Florence and Alice. She is still busy, happy and young as ever.

MRS. P. A. PETITT RECEIVES HONORARY DEGREE • ALICE MoNTGOMERY PETITT (Mrs. P. A.), Eta Eta received an honora ry Doctor of Letters degree from the College of Emporia, Emporia, K ansas, a t the annual commencement program on Jun e 1, 1953. President Luther E.

W e arc proud and h appy to quote from the presentation address:

1953

" It is our privilege today to honor one of th e out tanding women of the state of K a nsas, Alice Montgomery Petitt, of Paola . Mrs. Petitt received her formal education at Pittsburgh State T eachers College and Oberlin College, and later taught mu ic. Her qualities of leadership were recognized early as she took an active part in her church, community, and sta te affairs. In the Presbyterian church she has been honored with the presidency of the Neosho Presbyterial and the K ansas Synodical society. At present she is a member of the General Council of the Pre byterian church . "In civic affairs sh e h as been a leader in the sta te and has been president of the Kansa Federation of Women's clubs and a member of the national council of the Federated Women' s clubs. "She has always been a leader in education circles, a strong believer in the sm all liberal arts co]lege, esp ecially the church related college, and has given freely of her time, talents a nd executive abi lity in their interest." P . A. Petitt, M .D ., and the two Petitt sons, we are told, were greatly pleased a t this high honor paid to Alice. She has been recognized as an outstanding personage on many occasions, but now there are two "Doctors" Petitt in the family. Alpha Sigma Alpha honored Alice in 1951 , by awarding her the Wilma Wil on Sharp Award, in recognition of community a nd professional achievements in addition to her loya lty to her sorority.

CITY PANHELLENIC RECEIVED AT WHITE HOU SE • MRs. DwiGHT EisENHOWER received the Washington, D. C., City Panhellenic a t a tea honoring four French girls attending American colleges, on May 14, at the White House. The girls came to Washington for a gay weekend as gu ests of the City Panhellenic Association. The French girls were Paulette Renee Ducatez, Sweet Briar College; Anita Kirgo, University of Delaware; Monique Simone Kl ein, Hollins College; and Madeleine Viard, Bucknell University. Luncheon at the Capitol with Speaker of House Joseph M a rtin, Congressman Arthur Younger, California, and Congressman Laurie Battle, Alabama, followed the White House tea. Alpha Sigma Alpha members who a ttended the tea were Mrs. Stanley A. Hinson, Mrs. R. C. Johnson, Mrs. L. P. Maupin, Jr. , and Mrs. R. L. Banks, Jr.

THEY

THE GRADES

It is your chairman' s dream that one day Alpha Sigma Alpha will rank first scholastically on at

lea t ten campuses. This past year four chapters have made it possible for A~A to look proudly toward that fulfillment. W e are pleased to announce that Mississippi Southern's Beta Delta received the Panhellenic plaque, having maintained the highes t scholastic average among the seven sororities for three consecutive years with 1.92 (A is 3), the quality points averaged by our 33 A~As. Rho Chi at De troit's Wayne University, with twenty m embers ranked first among 14 sororities with an average of 2.97 (A is 4). Every one of the twenty-three members averaged above 2. Zeta Zeta is first among five with an average of 2.52 (A is 4) for thirty-six members at Warrensburg's Central Missouri State College. With no competition, Beta Eta, at Dickinson State T eachers College in North Dakota, has for many years

Zeta Zeta chapter members with the scholarship cup. Pictured: First Row-from left to right: Doris Schafer, Nancy Elder, Sue Smith, Carol Cox, Betty Oetting, Jean Lewis, Anne Cheatham. Second Row: Rosemary Huxol, Lenora Anne Murray, Joyce Evers, Kay Thomas, Ellie Langston, Mary Kay Henley, Virginia Hayter, Mary Sartain, Mary Pat Moody, Shirley Fitch. Third Row:

Mrs. Loyd Grimes, the other adviser, is not pictured.

â&#x20AC;˘ Bv the time this issue reaches the chapters it will be too late to do anything about the year's scholarship standing in regard to membership selection. But every president and rushing chairman should be looking ahead to the coming year. Good grades start with the freshman class. Girls with poor grades in high school rarely make good fraternity material, however affluent or personable they may be. The less favorably your standing compares with the all-school average or all-woman average, the more vital such a policy becomes. Good schol arship is within the grasp of every chapter. FINISH LINE

Beta Beta preents an annual award to the outstanding freshman at the tradition al Insignia Day a t Colorado State. The average of fifteen Alph a Alphas added up to three-point or better at Miami University

Aside from being Beta Pi's outstanding member and retiring president, and voted best woman a thlete by W.A.A., A rlene Gail Miller deserves praise for cholastic achievements this year. She made the D ean's list with a straight A-average and won a scholarship to the University of T ennessee for graduate work. An excellent student is H elen Ann Biswell with a straight A average.

WHAT'S THE SCORE In Alpha Sigma Alpha' s Scholarship picture your chairman is happy to report improvement. We are encouraged by reporting four chapters with campu s first, fifteen chapters improved their annual average, ten chapters had above-"B" -average smil es on every face. Congratulation cards for those coveted " A' " were mailed to 120 girls. Encouragement letters went to only fifty-nine this fall for fhose below-average-grades in the spring. With 100 per cent reporting, this picture could be even better. If your chapter has not been mentioned in thi prideful report, because your girls did not rate scholastically or your adviser didn't send in a report, will you, dear reader, learn why and let us know about those marks this year? The President of the University of Texas has said in an interfraternity publication, "The profit which you derive from your fraternity membership depends on the good fellowship w'h ich it brings to you, on the lasting friendships which you make. It depends also on the extent to which you shoulder your share of the corporate responsibility

AND THE

COLLEGE STUDENT By

EocAR HooVER

â&#x20AC;˘ You, the college student, whether or not you realize it, are the rich earth which t'he Communist conspirator hopes to till. Your mind is the soil in which he hopes to implant alien seed. Your subsequent acts are the products whose growth he strives to direct. The harvest which he seeks is the destruction of our democratic processes of government. What then, can you, the college student, do about communism? Awareness of danger is the first requisite to combating that danger. First, then, know your enemy. That necessitates learning what communism really means, not what its apologists say it means. How is one to separate truth from propaganda? I can only say, " Set yourself the task of developing a free mind- a mind which seeks facts." Such a mind accepts neither the minority version nor the majority version; it ~eeks and considers evidence. It is not satisfied until irrefutable evidence points out the road which leads toward irrevocable truth. When you have learned everything possible from the experience of those who escaped from "Utopia" - where they learned the bitter difference between promise and reality-'-then steep yourself in the history of America. Go back to the heart and soul of irts origins. R ead the documents, books, and letters of the immortal giants who, with faith and prayer and idealism, shaped and molded a form of government which is a continuous expression of faith in the individual. There you will

John Edgar Hoover (Kappa Alpha} Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation

learn that true Americanism is an act of faith-an overwhelming belief that the individual man, with God's help, is an intelligent being capable of selfrule. That faith is essential to the continuance of the American form of government. In its simplest terms, the struggle lies between the spiritual and the material. The Communist seeks to rob you of your birthright by destroying your faith in our republic. The mess of pottage which he offers in tempting the weak, the shallow, and the short-sighted is the illusory promise of material security-the security of the slave. The Communist offensive must never be underestimated, for that promise has seduced millions of people and the ultimate objective is to swing all the peoples of the globe into the Communist orbit. Like the confidence man, therefore, the Communist labors incessantly to get his victims in the proper frame of mind- to "set up the suckers for the kill." Diligently and indiscriminately he pours his corrosive acid of disunity, hatred, and discontent over the worker, the professor, the artisan, the student. What can you do to combat it? Communism is the antithesis of Christianity. To endorse communism is to deny all the tenets of

THE PHOENIX

Christianity-the great teachings which have guided our civilization during the dark ages of mankind's long, upward climb toward the light. You can be Christian. Communism is immoral. The Communist teaches that the end justifies the means. You can live positively. You can promote the dynamic morality which is essential to the preservation of a free nation. Communism seeks <<fronts" . Don't provide protective coloring for subversive organizations by being an indiscriminate "joiner." Ascertain the ultimate objectives of groups which mouth platitude and espouse causes before you lend th e strength of your nam e to their petitions and their roll . Communism feeds on ignorance. Be informed. Never yield to the disastrous luxury of emotional or "fuzzy" thinking. Stick to the facts. Communism seeks change. It would make the state the master and the individual the slave. You, therefore, need to gain a true understanding

of the republic in which the individual i the key. Our form of government is only as good as the people in it. Consequently, it cannot be perfect. But active and intelligent effort has made it function in such a manner that it has been the marvel and the envy of the world. You hold the future in your hands. Be a crusader for democracy. Communism lives on lies. It corrodes honor, destroys integrity, and subverts all the qualities which combine in an individual to make him, in the truest sense, a man. Wherever there is an honest man, there is an island of strength. Live honorably. Lastly, communism wears a cloak of many colors. Learn to recognize these colors, and no act of youts will tend to bring to fruition the destructive harvest which the Communist seeks, and toward which all his efforts are bent. Th e NPC Citizenship committee released the for egoing which appeared in th e ((Boston Uni versity Campus." Your editors urge you to study this timely and important stat em ent. Âˇ

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA'S PHILANTHROPIC REVIEW

SERVICE

â&#x20AC;˘ As we begin another year in terms of Sorority activities it seems wise to retrospect a little concerning our philanthropic program. Our aid to V eterans Admini tration Hospitals grew out of our work in these hospital during the war. Since its inception the type of gifts has changed as the n eeds have changed. Flexibility has been th e keynote. In 194 7 there was a great need for Proj ected Book machines. In recent years these hospitals have needed recreational and rehabilitation equipment. Among the gifts have been tel evision sets, power tools, special wheel chairs, and ceramic kilns. It has been eight years since the end of World War II. Imagine spending a decade of your life in a hospital- no longer a "war h ero"-simply a m an fighting for h ealth and a return to the outside world. The Korean W ar has been termed a "police action." There has been generated little of the na tional interes t which accompanied World War II . However, these veterans, too, are hoping to rega in their hea lth. Moreover, I know of a man who entered World W ar I shortly after graduation from law school. H e was injured and at one time presumed dead because h e was moved from hospital to hospital and his records lost! H e has spent the last 34 years in a V eterans Administration Hospital! This is only one exa mple of many similar cases. Our gifts of occupational therapy equipment,

television sets, lounge chairs, and chapel draperies are appreciated not only by the men who hope to return to civilian life but also by those who will spend a lifetime in a hospital. How much these gifts are appreciated can be known partially in excerpts from letters which Alpha Sigma Alpha has received from the administrators of the beneficiary hospitals .... "Your continuing interest in the entertainment and welfare of our hospitalized veterans is very much appreciated by this Veterans Administration Hospital." ... "Thank you for the television sets. W e believe that these sets give more pleasure than anything else that you and your group could have donated. We wish that we could thank each member personally." ... "Again many thanks for your kindness and thoughtful consideration in providing such a welcome adjunct to our recreation and welfare program. W e hope you will continue to give your able assistance so graciously in making our program the success it is." No doubt we will want to expand our phila nthropic program into other channels. However the awareness. of the great n eed in the Ve teran Administration Hospitals will encourage us to. continue this satisfying program- PATRICIA BYERS> National Philanthropic Chairman.

Russell W. Preston, Children's Mercy Hospital, accepts a $250 check from four members of Zeta Zeta chapter. Forty members of the chapter conducted various projects to raise money for the gift. The girls, left to right, are Charlotte White, Rosemary Huxol, Carol Cox, and Lenora Anne Murray.

• STATE DAYS were on the spring of 1953 ca lenda rs for college and alumnae chapters in six sections of the country. Each State D ay included inform al sessions, round tabl e discussions, and luncheons with· spea kers or planned programs. Peoria was the site of the lllinois State Day on M a rch 14. Norm a Robison Wittikiend was Sta te D ay chairman, and Betty V a nce French, Peoria alumnae chapter president, ex tended greetings to representatives of college and alumnae group in the sta te of Illinois. Topics for discussion included how alumnae groups could help the coll ege chap-

ters, how college chapters might improve their pl edge training, and how both groups could lend assistance to worthy causes in their communities. Eleanor Smith Thom as (Mrs. W. C .), of Chicago, was the lunch eon speaker. Using the theme "What Alpha Sigma Alpha M eans to M e," Eleanor sa id we should all be three-dimensional, emphasizing the ph ysical, social, and spiritual aspects of every day living. Beta K appa's invitation that Sta te D ay be held in •M acomb, in 1954, was accepted, and Ruth W a rd Moon was elec ted chairma n for the coming year. A JOINT m ee.ting of Missouri and Kansas chapters was held in Kansas City, on April 18. Dorothy Whitmore Kreek (Mrs. E . A.) was in charge of arrangements, and even though a freak snow and ice storm prevented some from attending, a sizable assemblage enjoyed the day. Wilma Wilson Sharp (Mrs. Fred M. ) was on hand to greet the visitors from out-sta'te Missouri and· Kansa s. Esther Bucher was moderator for the alumnae group discussions, and Mary K. R eiff led the college group. Dorothy Kreek had worked out a clever luncheon program of an educational nature. John Gillespie was m aster of ceremonies, a nd when h e call ed on girls from the tables, they were to try their ha ts on either Donald Frost or Al Kreek, a nd then answer questions "Doctor" Gillespie might ask about Alpha Sigma Alpha. Cor,;ages were given those who answered correctly, a nd we might say it was interesting to notice almost all questions received correct a nswers.

HERE we are a;gain back at school for another wonderful year. Already we have started making big plans. First on our list is to see that our room is redecorated. We are having an interior d ecorator to come an d look at our room and make suggestions. W e would like to paint our room, get new drapes and slip covers and maybe even buy a few pieces of furniture. With all this done we should have our room looking nice fo r the rush parties. Speaking of rush parties, we have plenty of work to do planning the theme we want to use and millions of other things connected with rushing. With all our new sisters I'm sure we will have a very successful year. Our new officers elected since Ma y are : Ann Carter Wendenburg, president of the junior class; Lou Kitts, president of Student Standards; Ann Snyd er, president of House Council for th e sophomore class; and M ary Lou Barlow, secretary of the junior class.- MARY Lou BARLOW.

TwENTY of us wound up our activities for 1952-53 with a busy summer of com posing a newsletter to our alumnae for the first time and making plans for our two rush parties to be h eld this fall. However, th e summer wasn 't all work for Alpha Beta-we ha d picnics and watermelon feasts galore. We a lso had a fun -packed bunking party at Baring L ake highlighted by a 5:00 a.m. swim. Our summer was made complete when Alpha beauty won out once again in Northeas t Missouri . Our own Ann Hertzler was crowned Miss Northeas t Missouri in the annual bathing beauty contest. Besi des being a prize Alpha, Ann is the new secre tary of the sophomore class and a member of Alpha . Phi Sigma and th e Women's Athletic Association . Twenty-seven Alpha Beta girls have returned to the cam pus eager to begin a new Ann Hertzler reigns as year. We are now absorbed Miss Northeast Missouri in plans for our Homecoming fl oa t to be centered around sportsmans hip . Immedi a tely following Homecoming, our rush season begins with the Pa nhellenic T ea for all women students, and our rush parties to be held O ctober 30 and November 7.- SHIRLEY WAR ES .

Miami University WELL, here we are back at school with another r ush season upon us. On Saturday a nd Sunday, September 19 and 20, we m et all of the rush ees at open houses. On Saturday night th e lights aU went out just to make things interesting. However, this gave us a good opportunity for a much needed song practice. Everything else went smoothly, except ,that we kept introducing Sally West as Sally Frease. W ell, after all, she has been Mrs. W est only a few months. During th e second period of rushing we will have six very informal parties and the n ext week, three th em e parties, the last of which will be formal. In the next issue of THE PHOENIX we will let you know th e results. As soon as rushing end s we'll be working on our float for Homecoming, getting ready for the Panhellenic formal dance and planning our Founders' Day dinner. September 23 was a big day for Janet Craig, Diane Goss, Mary Ann Havlena, Marlene Herbert, Lizabeth Richardson, Shirley Sledz, and Gail Wagner, because on that day they went active. 'Shirley Sledz has received another honor since my last letter-she has been made desk editor on The Student, the Miami campus paper. Going back to last spring a minute, at our Mother's Day tea we honored Mrs. Eliza beth Johnston, our adviser. W e gave her a beautiful new A~A badge with the corner rubies to always remind her of her. Alpha Alpha girls. Mrs. Johnston is a real mother to all Alpha Sigs at Miami University. ~MARTA KREIDER.

W e are very proud to announce that Suzanne Hampton will be a queen candidate for the American Royal in Kansas City. Suzanne was also selected Miss Chilhowee and Miss Johnson County. The candidates were judged on charm, culture, beauty, personality and poise. She will compete on October 13, and we have high hopes that Suzanne will be the winner.

Each guest was presented a bottle of "Evening in Paris" perfume as favors. The official rushing began on September 13 with the Panhellenic Tea. Next came our Mother-Daughter Tea held at the horne of Mrs. Robert Lemon, one of our patronesses. We were very pleased with the turnout as 96 girls and mothers were present. That week we a lso had our first fall meeting. It's nice to be back into th e swing of things again, but we sure miss our Alpha gals who graduated in the Spring. Speaking of missing people, our president for th e coming year, Yvonne Dunham, resign ed from office, and she was married on September 6 and did not return to school. We were lucky, though, in having such a capable vice president as Norma Holland, who has taken over and is really doing a fine job. We had a busy Rush W eek. Some of our activities were a skating party followed by a wiener roast and song fest at College Pond and individual coke parties. Climaxing the week was our formal banquet an d demitasse. Our theme, "Your Best Bet Is Alphas" was carried out with a race track idea. On September 29 we held formal pledging for 26 girls.

THE fall semester here at Temple University is only a week old, and the Kappa Kappa house is already bustling with activity and excitement. Formal rushing bega n just two days after the return to campus with a tea for all actives and rushees. Next on the rushin;g agenda were open houses held at each sorority for an evening of fun and getting acquainted.

An informal coke hour served furth er to introduce rushees to actives of all sororities. Planning for the rush party, when th e Kappa Kappas go all out to show rushees how much fun sorority can be, promised to keep all hands and minds busy until the big evening. Early plans centered around a theme of "Dragnet" with the promise of a full house of private eyes and accompanying Dr. Watsons. Rush Captain June Fraps headed the committees as chairman. Kappa Kappas are filling key positions all over campus this fall. Nancy Gingrich, KK secretary, is president of the ever-active Women's Athletic Association and a spirited cheerleader on the pep squad. Ginny Bahmueller, besides presiding over th e KK chapter, is the able leader of Magnet, honor society for senior women . T emple publications have a good sprinkling of Kappa Kappas. Your editor, Ruth Keller, is editor-in-chief of the 1954 Templar, University yearbook, along with presiding over Chimes, honor society for junior women . KK Treasurer Noel Curry is copy editor of the Temple Universit y News. Also on the Templar editorial staff are Chaplain Kay Keen as se nior editor, Dot Fels as organizations editor, Florianna Manno as fea ture editor, and June Fraps as faculty editor. One of the most recent additions to the Temple faculty is Betty Jane Leuchtner, KK honor graduate of last February. B. J . (or should we call her路 Miss Leuchtner) is director of all modern dance groups and teacher of swimming and skating. As popular as she is talented, B. J. was in her undergraduate days captain of the cheerleaders and swimming team, a member of the May Queen Court, president of Chimes and winner of the Sword Award for outstanding service to Temple. It's good to have B. J. back on a permanent basis! National Secretary, Helen Corey, our wonderfully patient and faithful adviser, returned from a summer trip through the West just full of enthusiasm and stories of her vacation wanderings. Nance Gingrich and Ginny Bahmueller had a fine chance to get acquainted with Frosh as they served on the Freshman Camp staff. Ginny also attended the Concert Choir camp earlier along with Julie W ebster a nd Camille MacDonald .-RUTH KELLER.

SENIOR S were special guests of honor at Kappa Kappa chapter's annual May dinner featuring presentation of national and local awards to seniors. A final farewell to graduating seniors, the dinner was prepared a nd served in the .sorority house by the juniors while seniors sa t back and enjoyed their last big sorority event as undergraduates at Temple University. Arlene Clung-eon, past president, was chief award winner. She received the Elizabeth Bird Small Award as Kappa Kappa's Alpha girl, the Helen Corey Award fo r scholarship, and th e Philadelphia Alumnae Award for service. The Helen Corey Award is a local award for the highest four-year scholastic average a nd is given annually by chapter adviser and national secretary, H elen Corey. J eanne Burnett, form er editor, was KK's nominee for the Frost Fidelity Award for service to the sorority. The chapter gave J eanne a costume pin in furth er recognition and thanks for her service.

Drexel Institute AFTER the first few days of greeting old friends and adjusting schedules, th e Nu Nus have finally settled down to a term of hard work. Since school did not start until September 29, some of us are still wearing those 路b ewildered looks that seem to accompany every new roster. By the time you read this, the 1953 Homecoming a t Drexel will be just another memory. Right now, however, the Nu Nus a re hoping they can capture first prize for the most original sorority cheer as they did last year. The girls are running around in circles searching for a word that rhymes with Drexel besides "pretzel." One of the activities that we're looking forward to this fall is the pajama party which we plan to have at Cathy Ca rr' s home . Of course, a tight squeeze is expected but- the more the merrier! And that last phrase reminds m e of something else: Congratulations to the recently installed chapter up in L ewisburg. Nice to have you aboard, Bucknell! After the hours of practice that majorettes Lois Gabriel and Virginia Cuppini spent perfecting their baton twirling, th e Nu Nus are really anxious for that first football game at West Chester. We' re all keeping our fingers crossed, though. With Lois and Ginny in their new short uniforms, the .'lpectators might forget to watch th e game! Last year the Nu Nu chapter was very proud of the large pledge class . From the four national sororities on campus, more freshmen chose .A~A than any other Greekletters. So it is with a great deal of anticipation th at we are looking forward to the Winter Term rush pa rties. Already our party chairmen, Joan Keers and Joan Andress, are wearing those sly grins that promise fun packed evenings during January and February. After the W .A.A. elections last spring, two of our Alphas had won positions on the five-member Executive Boa rd . E sth er Katsias will serve as vice president and Nancy Nielsen as co-social chairman. Several of our girls' names also appeared on the Dean' s List for the 1952-53 school year. Congratulations, not only to them, but to all our sisters who made the Honor Rolls in their respective colleges.-NA NCY NIELSON .

During the week, we en tertained th e other sororities from Buffalo State a t a n informal tea. Our chaperons, who are members of th e alumnae chapter, were very congenial and we were glad to have the opportunity to get to know them better. The grand weather and the good spirit of the girls were contributing factors to our wonderful cottage days.

Right at the moment we are concerned with rushing, so we are just now putting the finishing touch es to our planned rush parties. Our first social event of the year was a house party on October 3, which was very successful. W e have completed th e redecoration of the basement of our house which is going to be very attractive and makes for nicer recreation facilities. We have used the color scheme of gray for the floor and red and gray for th e walls. Last spring at the Mother's Day Interfraternity Sing we placed third and even though we would have liked first place we w~re very, very proud that we made third. Even though we are not the greatest in number of the sororities on the campus, we have quality.-JACKIE McGINNIS.

At our annual mid-summer fi esta, Greek Concla ve, we not only had a gay tim e greeting everyone and enjoyin g gab-fests, but we also started pouring out suggestions for this year's Homecoming decorations. O ctober finds us busy trying to carry out our ideas. One of our four gradua ting seniors, Mary Garrison, will be leaving soon for Hawaii ; another, our last year' s president, Mary Alice Hogan, is taking Laboratory Technician training, while Phyllis Aley a nd Ruthetta Seelye are teaching in Russell and Lyons, respectively. Norma Goetz and Eloise Reich, 60-hour certificate holders, are also in the teaching field. Tau Tau chapter should ne'er be short of publicity throughout ' 53 and '54, with Martha Pate, last year's campus newspaper editor, taking the helm of The Reveille, college yearbook, and Nancy Larmer, succeeding her as "ye olde ed" of The Leader, campus newspaper. Along the sports line, Von Slingerland is the new president of the Women' s Recreation Association. October's busy schedule was devoted almost exclusively to A~A, the fifth was the presentation day of the Scholarship Shield Award in which we will participate, on the ninth was the All Greek Formal, the eleventh we had a tea for our alumnae and oatronesses, the twelfth was the "Powder Puff," at which suitable dress for all occasions is demonstrated by the sororities, and the twenty-fourth was a busy day from dawn to dusk: not only Homecoming, but also the 25th Anniversary of A~A on the Fort Hays State Campus.-VoN SLINGERLAND.

Then as the school year drew to a close the Muncie alumnae chapter gave a buffet supper and a year's subscription to THE PHOENIX to our graduating seniors. Also in honor of the graduates we had our lovely Senior Banquet, with Katie Goldner as chairman. At our last spring meeting we had a coke party and made arrangements to write to three other Alpha Sigs during the summer to keep in touch with each other.

During the summ er two of our girls living in Muncie, Carolyn Fife a nd Virginia Brown , sold all of our rumm age, thus a dding some much need ed funds to our treasury. Over the summer each girl was supposed to earn $2.98 in some way for th e treasury, a nd at our first fall m ee ting, which was a party, we each told how the money had been earn ed .

Northwestern State College THE Psr Psr chapter had a house party on Black Lake in July for all m embers and their dates. The m embers that attended summer school planned the party and got in touch with other members that were a t hom e. During wee kend , th ere were several types of entertainment for th e guests which consisted of boat riding, dancing, fishing, a watermelon party and 11ating. Our chapter was ina ctive officially this summer, but quite a bit of work was done, nevertheless. Plans are well on the wa y for our formal rush party and we think it is going to be the bes t that we have ever had. Th e members also thought up some very good moneymaking projects They raffled off a set of after-dinner coffee spoons. They also made white plisse tommie coats with the red ilA on th e pockets and sold them to the members at a small profit. These were the fashion at the house party, too. W e are now i~ the process of making some red flannel shirt-tail gowns with the white letters on th e pockets. These will be sold to the members to make money, too. W e have had a wonderful party since we have arrived a t school s0 that everyone could catch up on the summ er activities of others. Hot dogs, cold drinks, dancing, and gab were enjoyed by th e m embers and their dates. Betty Sue Choate, our president of last year, has been chosen as national chaplain for A~A.

Henderson State Teachers College THE Henderson Alpha Sigs are back on the campus busily getting organized for the year's work. Some of the plans for this year's work were made in July, when all the members met for a glorious weekend at Yvonne Aggerton's family's cabin on Lake Catherine near Hot Springs. Everyone had a wonderful time swimming, boating, catching up on the latest gossip, and of course discussing rush plans. One special event C?f the weekend was the night all the girls went into Hot Springs a nd had supper together at Phillip' s. The big event on Beta Mu's calendar now is rush. The members are busily planning a week of small informal parties to get acquainted with the rushees. Each member helps entertain several groups of rushees. This week of informal parties is to be followed by the Alpha ISig's big formal rush party. I'll be telling you more about the events of rush in the next issue. The annual Panhellenic dance at Henderson was to be held on Hallowe'en night this year. A Hallowe'en theme was chosen and everyone went masked. The chapter was busy for several weeks helping make plans for the dance and, of course, for the Alpha Sig dessert party for their dates before the dance. The Hender~on Alpha Sigs have recently chosen their philan•t hropic project for the year. They have decided to go over to the Veterans' Hospital in Hot Springs several times during the year and entertain the disabled ve terans. W e are all looking forward to these visits. Sigma Chi Epsilon fraternity on the Henderson campus recently entertained Beta Mu chapter with a scavenger hunt and an informal party. All the girls enjoyed this treat! Besides the many hours spent on sorority work and of course studying, several of the Alpha Sigs are _fin~ing time to represent Beta Mu in the other orgamzattons on the campus.

Murray State College BETA Nus certainly ended last year with a bang. On May 2, we took our dates on a hay-ride to Kentucky Lake State park. Then on the eleventh, we ushered our pledges into "Alpha Sigs Castle" for a dance. At this dance, Paula King was presented with the "Ideal Pledge Bracelet." To top everything off, we had "dreams ahead" as the theme for our MotherDaughter banquet. At this banquet, we decorated with pink and green floral assortments, pink and green table setting, etc. With such a gay ending, we naturally were anxious for this year to begin. We do not have as many of our sisters back as we would like, for several have married and others are working for this term. This summer 30 Beta Nus gathered at the Woman' s club house, here in Murray, for a combinaJtion banquet and summer business meeting. To begin sorority life right, rushing got under way this year with a Panhellenic T ea given in the parlor of Wells Hall, the girls' dormitory. Alpha Sigs gave th eir rush party in the sorority room the following night. Dressed as pira tes, we sailed the seven seas in our Pira te Ships. Each pledge received a pa tch for her eye, and a mug as a souvenir. The room was decorated as the inside of a pirate ship. The week of October 10 was Homecoming for Murray State college, and • we h eld a brunch for visiting alumnae. We decorated the room with an " Autumn" theme. Also for, Homecoming, we entered our float, with the title, "Keep 'Em at Zero." The main attraction of this float was four Alpha Sigs dressed in cotton bathing suits, the large ice cube with an opposing player ·frozen in it, and a large thermometer reading zero. W e have made a lot of plans for the year, such as : recovering one of our couches, buying a new rug, and remodeling our coffee table. With a lot of work and cooperation, we hope to make this one of the best years for Beta Nu .-Lo1s DARNELL.

W e looked forwa rd to meeting Miss Evelyn Bell, our national presid ent, and also Alpha Sig representa tives from Oneonta, Buffa lo, Cortla nd, and Boston University. These crisp fa ll evenings find our muscle bound sisters, their teeth clenched in grim d etermin a tion, trotting around the block to th e accompaniment of low groans, as we get our lazy muscles back into shape for the Greek Games. Liniment an yo ne? W e placed second last year, but our eyes a re on th a t first place position this year and another cup to a dd to our trophy collection. All th e fun, excitement, hard work, and anxiety that usually accompanies th e opening of a new rush season had descend ed upon us like a suffocating blanket and we find it ha rd to ta lk or think about anything else. Our insomniacs no longer co unt sheep jumping over the proverbial fence-we count the pretty little heads of our prospective new pledges jumping over our threshold instead. The th eme of this year's rush party will be New York City. Small red and white corsages made of artificial flow ers and sent in mini a ture florist corsage boxes will serve as our novel invitations. A small card inviting the rush ees to spend a gay evening on th e town on Alpha Sigs "Manhattan M erry-Go-Round" will be tucked in with each corsage. Sophistication will be the keynote of this year's party and we pla n to d ecorate three walls with silhouettes of Manhattan' s skyline against a star studded midnight blue sky. For a dded atmosphere, we plan a fals e ceiling of midnight blue and th e suffused light of a baby spot to cast the ma gical spell of moonlight. R efreshments will be sky-scaper sandwiches. Flatbush Fra ppes (sundaes to our W estern sisters ) , Greenwich Goodies, and Manhattan Madness cocktails. Our entertainment will open with a typical N ew York musical production number called, "New York, New York, It's a Wond erful Town ." We go from the sub-

lime to the ridiculous in our tour of "that wonderful town" which follows, stopping in to see the celebrated Bowery Follies, the very chic Cafe Society, incomparable Coney Island, Ebbets Field, horne of the Dodgers, and a World Series game, and the Metropolitan Opera House fc.r the world premier of "Dowse and Doyle," our goldenthroated sisters. It's been wonderful fun planning our party. With all our enthusiasm, imagination and talent ( ?) , we can't help but have a successful party and an equally successful rush season. Our special welcome to the new Beta Omega chapter at Bucknell.--KATHY BARBARO.

Indiana (Terre Haute) State Teachers College SUMMER vacations are over and we, of Beta Upsilon, are back ready and enthusiastic about the corning year which holds so many interesting activities for us. Beta Upsilon had its first meeting on September 29 with 21 girls who are very anxious to get started on plans for the year. Most outstanding activity of early October was Hornecorning which carne on the tenth. We used a William Tell theme this year with the slogan "Will Tell 'em We Aim To Split 'ern" written in old English letters. Another event of early October was a dinner for our new college president, Dr. Raleigh W . Holrnstedt and his wife. · And of course we are always busy working on rushing. T!Jis term is open season for upper classrnen but is a closed season for freshmen who have their big weekend starting January 13. Also scheduled for this fall are open houses with the fraternities on campus, Founders' Day with our alumnae, and our traditional "overnight" party.-MYRNA WILD.

Stout Institute · WuH the close of summer, the Beta Phis carne from far and wide back to their campus at Stout. The first week found us busy planning for the first rush party, "Country Garden Tea." Thirty girls were entertained Saturday morning, September 19, at the Harvey Memorial Building. After several hands of "Hearts" or "Crazy Eight," the girls were served parfaits and cookies. Our Alpha Sigs had a wonderful time talking and singing with the girls. October 10 was the date set for Stout's Homecoming. With the thoughts of Homecoming, carne the thoughts of the queen and her court. Our Alpha Sig candidate was Colleen Ceminsky. Besides campaigning for Colleen, we have been working on our float. Our annual Mum sale was at Homecoming, too, so you can see that these Al:As have been busy.-Jo BREHM .

We held our rush parties last week. Our first was informal and had as its theme an ice cream social. The second party, which was formal, centered around the Chinese theme. We used Chinese newspapers for tablecloths and served Chinese food. After our next home football game, we are planning to have a buff!!t supper.-ANN HINKLE.

Western Michigan College of Education WE all arrived at Western anxious to complete the plans we had made for our first project of the year. During Freshman Week the sororities and fraternities had a carnival in •which all Greek organizations contributed a booth. Al:A came through with an original idea. We had a cakewalk. But what made it so different was that for the cakewalk circle we marked off 14 spaces and in each one placed the name of a sorority and fraternity on campu>. Then we played music and when it stopped we drew a card out of a box and the winner was presented with a cupcake. E.v erything was done in red and white and was a big success! We started our fall rushing September 27 with a Panhellenic reception. To date we do not know the number of rushees. Our pledging service was set for October 19. flornecoming was set for October 24. This was the 50th anniversary of Western Michigan College. It was a big event. Everything revolved around the theme: "The First Fifty Years." For our float we made a tiered birthday cake. A number of the girls dressed as candles. We worked it out cleverly and as this is written, Al:A hopes to come out on top! The following week end was to be our Alpha Sigma Alpha Michigan State Day at Central Michigan College in Mt. Pleasant. We always look forward to meeting all our sisters once again and sharing ideas and getting suggestions. On November 14 we have planned a closed formal dinner d~nce. For favors, our President Dottie Wright, made white ashtrays. On the top of them she painted in red: "Stolen From The Castle of Alpha Sigma Alpha."-]AN RIVARD.

Akron, Ohio HERE we are beginning a new year getting back in the routine and I'm doing some redecoration which is taking a lot of time-things do slip one's mind. This has been a good summer, and we started the fall by having a family picnic at Jean Lang's new home . She moved last spring from Akron to Twins rLake. We were 29 strong, a good crowd, good food, but the weatherman did not cooperate. It was chilly, and we had to move from outside to the recreation room. Our October meetin:g was with June Cowan, and in :'>lovember we'll meet with Louise Holt. W e were happy to have Maude •B arrere back. We were afraid she might like Miami, Florida, well enough to stay there. We worked with Panhellenic· this summer with a College Day. Invitations were sent to all high school graduates, and we had a style show and talk by several members about sororities. About 17 girls from this area have signed up for Miami. We are keeping our fingers crossed. We hope our Alpha Alpha chapter will have a great year with many nice pledges.-LILLIE GREER.

Baltimore, Maryland WITH the autumn weather so delightful, we begin the new year with fresh interest and ideas and renewing our pledge to Alpha Sigma Alpha. The •B altimore chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha is very small, but we have a very active group. Our last meetin'g of 1952-53 was held at the home of our president, Miriam Raynes. After the business meeting we elected the following officers: president, Barbara Smith Mann, BE; vice president, Hazel Taxacher, TT; secretary, Minerva Messenger, KK; treasurer, Miriam Raynes, NN ; editor, Jean Shelley, BE; ·Panhellenic delegates, Natalie Miller, NN, and Betty Atkins, BP. Our chapter was hostess to the City Panhellenir. Association meeting on March 25, at the home of Mable Mathias. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a nd make plans for the tea which was to be given the high school girls. A former president of our Baltimore chapter was president of the Washington chapter for the past year, and we received a letter from her inviting us to a luncheon meeting with the Washington and Northern Virginia alumnae chapters at Olney Inn on June 6. Three of our members, Barbara Mann, Zil ·M essenger, and Jean Shelley, were able to attend and had a delightful time meeting our sisters from the Washington area. We hope to have the Washin•g ton and Northern Virginia groups to lunch in Baltimore this year. To raise money for our treasury we planned a picnic supper at Mable's Glyndon pool. Everyone took her own supper and then taxed herself 75 cents for the picnic and swimming, which was put in the treasury. It is nice to have a member with a generous heart and

we can thank Mable for her generosity in letting us use the pool. ·Besides strengthening our treasury, an enjoyable time was had by the husbands and children of members.

made for State Day which will be held at Mount Pleasant on November 7. We also planned our summer sewingmaking cancer pads for the Detroit Cancer Clinic. Besides completing 300 pads and a dozen hospital gowns, we had a lot of fun and formed real friendships with some of our new members. Five crippled children benefited from our philanthropic fund by attending Camp Grace Bentley for Crippled Children on Lake Huron. Among our travelers were Louise McArthur, who went to Mexico; Marie Lutz, who accompanied her doctorhusband to a California convention then continued to Hawaii; and Isabel Butterfield, who took her daughter, Gail, sightseeing in New York City. Our September meetin'g was held at the Birmingham home of :Mary Mowry with •E sther Sprague as assisting hostess. On October 3 we went to Grosse Pointe to the home of Charlotte Jorgenson, with Kay Davey assisting her. Kay Davey has been appointed by the local Panhellenic as cataloger-historian.

Detroit, Michigan-Rho Chi OuR first meeting of the fall was held at Ellen Imboden's in September, and once wgain it was time to give an accounting of our comings and goings during the summer. Pat Reis spent two months in England. Betty Sowell, our convention goer, went down to Miami, Florida, to the NEA meeting. Babs Dickeson had a lovely stay in Bermuda and is anxious to go again. Helen Bagdanovich, our new president, went to New York to see her sister off to Germany and had two busy weeks finding h er way around the big town. A number of us were loyal to Michigan and sought relief from the heat by going up North in our "Water Wonderland. " We were all in for a bi·g treat at our first meeting because we had a surprise honor guest. None other than our own Betty Wine Corney was there in person. It has been far too many years since we last saw her as she now calls Boston her home. The whole thing was a nice surprise, and we all hope you do it again real soon, Betty. The October meeting was held in Margaret Dunn's new home. It is always such fun to visit our members in their own homes. I hear that Pat Woolever is going to have a new ranch home to show us in D ecember. W e have just heard th e first plans of a Michigan State Day to be held on November 7 at Mt. Pleasant. Sure will be nice to see the girls from convention and th t' Kalamazoo installation again. W e are all busy selling ca rds and gift wrappings to raise money for our philanthropic project. There is no

excuse now for overlooking anyone's birthday or anniversary for the lack of a card. Mary Ellen Busch is in charge of all the details for this project. Our plans for the future include a bowling party, Founders' Day program, and a big Christmas party.JANE CHARVAT.

Indianapolis, Indiana ANOTHER "first" for our alumnae group! Dottie· Trempel, our first national rush chairman, was entertained for the first time by an alumnae group at a beautifully appointed tea at the home of Jean Bald win McCammon, our president . She was assisted by Helen Campbell •S hibler. The tea became a discussion group as we were seated around a very la rge table. W e were all eager to become acquainted with Dottif" . We were so impressed with our new chairman as we listened to her tentative plans. We know now wh y she was chosen from Chi Chi chapter to colonize our new Beta Psi chapter at Western Michigan college, Kalam a zoo. She has the true Alpha Sigma Alpha spirit w hich radiates when she discusses the real merits of an Alpha Sig. She possesses them all. W e sincerely hope that you will have the privilege of meeting or ente rtaining Dot-

tie . Whether it is by personal contact or by letter, our rush chairman has suggestions that are important to follow. Her leadership is outstanding. Our new program committee, Catherine Castor, Ruth Graddy !Strickland, and Maxine Schafer Preda, have arranged a nother " first" for our chapter. Our printed programs for 1953-54 will have the hostesses and assistan ts for each month but the time, entertainment, and type of program will be d ecided by each group assigned for that month. This will be known as "The Year of Surprises." We believe that this will ada zest and interest for th e entire yea r . On October 6 a ll th e past presidents of our alumnae chapter were honored. This was a gay occasion, with J can M cCammon as hostess. From all a ccounts of vacations a nd trips ail the members ha d a wond erful summer.

Greater Kansas City THE tun e was "Lit·tl e Old Lady Passing By," but the words were: "Alpha Sig moth ers, w e love you, Yes, we do, yes, we do.

Most of th e af•t ernoon wa s spent in visiting, a nd there was a short program. Corsages made of candy rose mints and leaves an d handpainted napkins were given to the mothers. The regular meeting for May was a luncheon at th e Women's City Club, and the hostesses had arranged for a movie on harmonizing colors to be shown to th e group. The new officers were installed and at the close of the service Cath y Crowley sang "I Believe"" Ev' ry pledge we make -to our sorority makes it more d ear, The vows we took toda y will help g uide us th e comin g year.

month we entertain the little rheumatic fever patients at the Convalescent Home. In spite of the terrific Missouri heat, July 25 was Chris·t mas at the home of Dorothy Kreek. Colorful bell corsages (made of milk bottle caps), a Christmas tree, hard candies, Christmas napkins, and red an d ~treen refreshments furnished the atmosphere for buying Christmas cards and wra pping pa pers. Serena Engelhart read a Christmas story, " The L ittlest Stork," which was most en tel'taining. Putsch's was most obliging to Alpha Sigma Alph a in that it opened its n ew cafeteria this summer and served as our meeting place for September. The only way to describe Putsch's is to say it is just out of this world . Our own Em Frost who is personnel director for Putsch's took us on a tour of th e cafeteria and practically charged us a quarter even to look at their $11,000 dish wash er! Ruth Pennell in her d elightful style of talkinl!' tnld us of her trip to Europe and displayed the beautiful linens, jewelry, paintings, and dolls that she brought b~ck with her.

On Saturday, M ay 16, Louise Stewart, Jane J ackso n, Margaret L aycock House, a nd myself journeyed to Oxford, to a ttend our a nnual Ohio State D ay meeting, with Alpha Alpha cha pter as our hostess.

On August 19, we had a guest day luncheon a t Ilonka's Provincial House in Columbus. It was our first time there, a nd it lived up to a ll our expectations. It is quite a place. The food was "out of this world," a nd th e a tmosphere so very pleasa nt, we are ready to recommend it as a future State D ay meeting place. Saturd ay, Septem ber 19, was our first meeting of th e 1953-54 year. It was held in my home.

Middletown, Ohio As I am wri路ting this I would like to give my exact location, but the best I can say is that I'm 15 d egrees South Latitude and 5 degrees West Longitude, near St. H elena. The Atlantic is a littl e rough today and as I try to type this my hands slip over on the keyboard and I find myself typing O 's for I's, etc. If I don't mak e a stab at this, our alumnae editor, Anne Petree, will b e telling us she has not heard from Middletown for some time. Mrs. Thane Doellmann enter tained at our Ma y m ee ting. Officers elected were: Mrs. Robert McConaughy, president; Mrs. R. V.

Muskogee, Oklahoma RusH, RUSH, RUSH is th e only term to accurately describe the various summer and pre-fall social activities of the Muskogee alumnae chapter. We might say our summer program was officially launched on May 14 with an election of officers . Mildred Schenendoah Davis, Br, was elected to lead our group as chapter president. Within these few months Mildred has already proven herself worthy of all th e confidence bestowed in her by her sorority sisters. Through her outstanding leadership, the Muskogee alumnae chapter is planning on the most prosperous year of our history. Juanita Wisdom Kilgore, Br, out-goin'g president, was selected to serve as vice president and as our del ega te to th e Muskogee Panhellenic association. Certainly a fin er and more loyal m ember could not have bee n chosen to represent our sorority. Another capable alumna, Thelma Knowles Ruff, rr, is our new secretary-treasurer. Her qualities of interest and efficiency are an unbeatable combination for this capacity. Virginia Burleso n P'\tterson, Br, was selected to serve as chapter editor. Alpha Sigma wedding bells rang for Ruby Lee Goodson, Br, wh en she became the bride of George M . Land ers . in Jun e. Ruby L ee is an interes路ted and active member of our group. Jul y marked the chosen month for the Muskogee Annua l Rush 'P arty given in honor of 59 rushees from this surrounding area. 'Jeans, boots, plaid shirts and ten gallon ha ts ty pified the "western" th eme used for the rush party staged at Bacone Lodge. Delicious barbecue, cokes, potato chips, and ice cream were downed by 75 cowgirls to th e tune of favorit e wes tern melodies. Horseback rides a nd an infotmal western atmosphere were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Muskogee alumnae were d eli路g hted that such a large numb er of th e Be ta Gammas from Northeastern, headed by Janie Carrico, president of Beta Gamma, and H elen Ann Biswell, past president, were prese nt for the "Western Round-Up." Our guests enjoyed meeting and mixing with the Beta Gamma members. We enjoyed being able to get togeth er and meeting some of th eir new chapter members. Thanks again, Beta Gammas, for helping to make our "Western Round -Up" a big success. Thursday, September 11, officially opened our series of fall meetings at which time it was decided that a " Rush Campaign" should be organized . Feeling that th ere were quite a few Alpha Sigs now living in Muskogee that were not members of our alu~ae group, we have d ecided upon a m embership drive to increase our alumnae membership, beli eving that this factor plays an important part in th e growth and strength of our organization. Joan Bass Murray has been selected to h ea d this campaign of "rushing" members and' she hopes that we ma y soon be able to report a large increase in our group. The Muskogee alumnae were pleased to receive an mvitation from Beta Gamma chapter at Tahlequah to attend the fall formal rush party of October 1. With football in the air, several of our mem bers are anxiously making plans for a pre-game wiener roast fol-

An out-oftown guest at this meeting was Lillian Scott, a graduate of Radford College. 'We were pleased to award her a prize for the silliest hat manufactured during the evening. As this is being written (deadlin es being what th ey a re) we have not yet held our September m eeting. This will be with Dorothy Rowe Gilger with Reba Anderson Ruster as co-hostess. W e plan to have a fabric painting session, which should result in at least part of the town being red--or anyway pale pink, before the evening is over. Dorothy, a hom e movie enthusiast as is her husband, will show color film of this summer's vacation . Also September is th e month we have planned our annu al fund-raising stand-by-The Rummage Sale. October and November are the busiest months on our calendar with some very exciting events. On October 17 we will entert a in the Tulsa alumnae chapter with a luncheon at the Sportsmen's Club.

bowling and the Fireman's Auxiliary-plus substitute teaching. Marge Platt Bernreuther keeps all the Olean Alpha Sigs in tow when she yields the gavel each month. She also leads a nursery mother's •g roup. Mary Kayes Keller tells us her half-day kindergarten teaching position is a novel experience. Girl Scout program leadership is also new to her. Such a variety qf activities among the Oleanites makes for quite a gab session. No wond er everyone looks forward to th e monthly luncheons.

Peoria, ILlinois I GUESS I should begin this letter with news going back almost to the time we last saw many of you at Jllinois State Day last March. Our project for the May m eeting was the collC'ction of magazines and playing cards for distribution to the hospitals and convalescent homes in our comm unity. June found us getting together at th e home of M ary Alice Whitsitt for the installation of our new officers. They ire : president, Norma Wittikiend; vice president, Freida Y entes; secretary, Dorothy Risen ; treasurer, M ary Lou Raszell. During the summer we relaxed from our rPgu lar mee tings, but managed to get togeth er occasionally fo r food and fun. One of the highlights was a lun ch Pon meeting at Black and Kuhl 's Skyline restaurant. Also a few members journeyed to Macomb for A~A alumn<~e picnic. S eptember 8, we m et at the home of Norma Wittikiend . Events of the evening included ma king our final plans for a rummage sale to be h eld September 26. This is our pet money raising project--could be because we have so much fun working at it. We get together the night before to sort all those boxes of rummage and we just can' t resist the temptation to try on some of those uniqu e items. We should call it our masquerade party. Other business was the distribution of sample Ch ristmas cards and folders. We hope our sales ability will bring an increase to our treasury. R efreshments and tnore "talk-talk" brought a wond erful evening to a close. Vance French and "Ginny" Drew will be hostesses for October and November, respectively. W e are all looking forward to these meetings and anxious to see "·G inny's" b ea utiful and bra nd new apartment.-FREIDA YENTES .

Have you ever seen a TV show produced? Well, on October 13, we toured the WCAU-TV station and saw "The Bi·g Idea" produced. It was fun! Tuesday, November 17, you will ,find us at our favorite past-time (eating) at the Kappa Kappa house, for that's the time and place of our Buffet Supper. After supper, Pauline Manlio, director of the Community Service Center, First Baptist Church, will tell us how we may serve the Community Center and help us plan for the Christmas party we are going to give the children there. And we have just loads of other plans which include dances, card parties, teas, fashion shows, etc. So if you can, how about joining us? We'd like to see you at every meeting. All work and no play-1 think you know the rest of the saying. So with complete abandonment of work, Philadelphia Alpha Sigs took off in all directions and the news ·reports that floated homeward read something like this: Dottie McCool Koury, KK, and husband, Tom, took a six weeks tour of the United States.

Englehardt, Ar, received the 1953 award toward Life Membership which our chapter presents each year.

Shreveport, Louisiana SINCE las t reporting, our newly-organized chapter has go tten into full swing, with three well-attend ed m ee tings a nd a lovely picnic. The May mee ting was held at th e hom e of Beth Caldwell H etrick, which, inciden tally, she a nd her husband built th ems elves, and is brand new and lovely. Since we h ad bee n invited to join Shreveport' s P anhellenic Association, we elec ted our d elegates a t this m ee ting. Fra nces Alexa nder Gilson was selected as d elegate, with D ee Goetz Baker, alternate. D ee was a lso na med editor for th e chapter at this m ee ting. On Sunday, May 24, we held our f amil y picnic at O a k Crest, country home of Mr. and Mrs. G . H . Rumba ugh. Mrs. Rumba ugh is th e sister of one of our m embers, F ern Brya nt Tooley, a nd she most graciously turn ed th e grounds of h er lovely estate over to our m embers for the day. To say that we had a wond erful tim e is putting it mildl y, indeed. Bla nch e Butler was hostess for our Jun e 23 m ee ting. A t this meeting we planned fu r ther work on our permanent proj ect, which is cheering the patients a t th e polio ce nter of th e new Confed erate M emorial hospital. For the Fourth of July, we wra pped gifts in red, white, an d blue paper a nd ribbon and had a grab bag 路 for th e 26 pa tients of th e wa rd . According to th e letter we received from the patients, they enjoyed th eir little " party" very much, especially the strawberry ice box pie whi ch three adult patients had requested, and which our president, Evelyn Sco tt, had to search all over town for. Our Septemb er m ee ting was held at the hom e of Elizabeth Wood all Ri chi e. W e made pla ns for a ba rbecue on Saturd ay, September 26, at the home of C la ire Ruffin Kramer.

She do es herself a nd our group credit, an d we are all very proud of her.D EE GoETZ BAKER.

South Bend, Indiana WITH Indian summer right on our doo r-step and lingering memori es of路 many ha ppy, busy summer da ys

still in mind, we in South Bend are looking forward to a rewarding year of Alpha Sigma activities. At this point, however, it is my job to bring you up to d a te on activities that have gone on since the last PHOE NIX. N eedless to say that requires refl ec ting back a few months. April 17, 1953, we enjoyed a cooperative supper m ee ting in Dona Pierce Beavers' lovely n ew hom e. At this same meeting new officers were elected a nd installed. Our officers for the coming year are: presid ent, Florence T aylo r; vice president, V elva Bere Gay; secretary, Mildred Warner Zoss ; treasurer, Dona Pierce Beavers ; philanthropi c chairman, Mary Houghton ; editor, Janice Grubb Ba umgartn er. Ordinarily contacts after the la st spring m eeting are limited until plans for fall progra ms are renewed . But . . . on M ay 26, a "ch apter-shaking" even t took place that still has us slightly agog. Millie Warner Zoss surprised us all by having not one, but two lovely d aughters, M a ry Ann a nd Sara Ja ne. Perhaps this is not too noteworthy to some, but with this bit of background yo u may better a pprecia te it. For some time there h as bee n discussion a nd, I might a dd, concern among the girls over the fact that there was not a single girl born to a m ember of this g roup. N a tura lly an ex pecta nt moth er in our group bega n to wonder, as did th e restwould she too be blessed with a son or become the "starm ember" by produ cing a d a ughter. N eedless to say, Millie has achieved the ultimate goal a nd wa rrants special recognition h ere-abouts. A large portion of th e summer found me enjoying th e natural b eauty of th e west, especially cool, colorful Colorado, and "siesta-ing" m y time away in hot, humid ( d espite Chamber of Comm(:rce reports ) Tucson, Arizona. To catch up on th e girls summer ac tivities and vaca tions h as m ea nt a private monopoly of the telephone for an evening. For vacations most of us stayed close to hom e. Dona Pierce Beavers went about h er wifely duti es a nd awaited arrival of her baby, a nother boy, Septemb er 17. Marie Sca nla n Brown was busy caring for h er young son and readying things for the tedious job of moving. This ni ce wea ther finds the Brown's laboring over th e lawn, etc. Velva Bere Gay was kept happily busy with h er three lively boys. Since V elva was general chairman for our rush tea, it would be safe to say she spent some time on invitations, favors, etc. Mary Houghton seemingly was quite ambitious . for she attend ed summer school a t Notre name. Being th e student can be as rewarding as being th e teacher a t tim es. M ary did find time to trav el down Florida way a nd she returned with a beautiful sunt a n. Betty M a th ews spent most of her time wo rking b)l t found some summer d ays ideal for swimming and fishing . I h ave been unabl e to contact " V. M." Roberts, but hope to get full parti culars at our nex t mee tin g. N aom i P ehrson's trip was m a rred b y a rather serious accident. At any r a te, N aom i found it necessary to get a new car. W e are so thankful th a t real d a mage involved only th e car. Florence T aylor is just now p acking for a long a waited vacation in Northern Michiga n. Until now it has been impossible for her doctor husba nd to get away. An Indian summer vacation is just as enjoyable. Summer a nd vacations are fun but ' tis good to get back to work. W e really don ' t consider our activities as work, but of course, th ey do require some work if they are to be successful. A ru sh tea was held Sunday, August 3 1, in the home of our presid ent, Florence T aylor. A crystal swan surrounded by red a nd white gla dioli mad e an unusua lly a ttractive centerpiece. Crystal appointments provided that extra sparkle. W e were especially enthusiastic about this tea, as we

THE PHOENIX

were entertammg girls, who represe nted three different schools having A1:A chapters; Miami University W es tern Michigan College, and Ba ll _S ta te Teachers Coli~ge. Within a day or so after our happy get-togeth er all our hearts were saddened with th e news th a t polio ha d struck P a ul a nd Bobby Zoss, young sons of Millie Warner Zoss. Yes, it was the same hom e where so much happiness abound ed three short months previously. W e are glad to relate th at the boys have res ponded wond erfull y to therapeutic treatment and Pa ul the oldest boy ' ' will be returning to school very soon. W e have not had our first regular m ee ting as yet, but we are looking forward to a bright an d successful yea r.JANICE GRUBB BAUMGAR TNER.

Toledo, Ohio THE Toledo a lumnae chapter started the summer with a simple potluck luncheon. The girls a ll enjoyed it so much that planned potluck luncheons will be continued. Some very interes tin g recipes were exch a nged . Jan et Black, a n Alph a Sigma Alph a from Miami University a nd 1953 graduate of Ohio Sta te, was gu est of honor a t the Jun e m ee ting in H elen Osmun's home. J a net was m arri ed in August a nd will be living in Columbus this winter. Our July m eeting was held at Clara Kun ey's hom e in Perrysburg. Helen Ernes t, an alumna of Ohio University, was our guest. H elen and Clara attended Bowling Green State University summer school together. Helen Pauly entertain ed du ring August. Doroth y Stockton who is librarian a t Bowling Gree n University and Harriet Harper, a n alumna from Ball Sta te T eachers

College, who lives m Napoleon, became new members of our chapter. The girls had a wonderful time at Harriet Harper's in September. Harriet designed and decorated her new home. The living room was most striking with an unusual color scheme enhanced by several of her own paintings. We were happy to have another new member at this meeting, Katheryn Brown, of Bryan, a graduate of Miami University. This concluded our luncheon meetings because many of our members are teachers. It has been a most interesting and eventful summer for our chapter.-MARJORIE FULLER.

Warrensburg, Missouri THIS letter will be a short one since it JS written before our first fall meeting. Our last meeting was in May and after a busy summer we are ready for a new year. As part of the ·g raduation activities, the Warrensburg alumnae honored the graduating seniors from the college chapter at Central Missouri State College with a breakfast at the home of Maude Nattinger. Although it was pouring down rain, we had a nice group of five seniors, two guests. Mrs. Lovd Grimes and Mrs. Ben Craig, and nine alumnae. The rain didn' t dampen our spirits and we had a wonderful time gabbing. The seniors told u<; of the plans for the coming year. We wished each one much success and happiness in the years to come.-SUE EPPRIGHT.

Washington, D. C. ON last June 6 the Washington A~A finally saw the realization of a get-together with the groups from Baltimore and Northern Virginia. This was a very deHghtful luncheon at Olney Inn at nearby Olney, Maryland. The luncheon was preceded by a get-acquainted period around the punch bowl and after the luncheon we gathered on the lawn for more fellowship. It was most gratifying to meet n ew A ~As or renew friendships. Last spring two members of our Washington chapter, Myrtle Lee Johnson and Margaret Banks, had the privilege of meeting the Nation's •F irst Lady, Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, at the White House. The Washington, D. C., Panhellenic Association was granted the honor of being received by Mrs. Eisenhower on Thursday, May 14, at 1:50 p.m.; upon the occasion of the visit to Washington by four French students enrolled at nearby colleges. Mrs. Eisenhower was most gracious and charming, and despite a crowded schedule, she cordially greeted each in the group of 250 persons and made everyone feel personally welcomed . The Washington Panhellenic Association sponsored the visit of the French girls to Washington. Although our chapter discontinued meetings for the summer, as usual, we carried through our plans to have a Fourth of July party for a group of the children at Junior Village, the welfare school which we undertook to h elp last year as our chapter philanthropic project. The young boys seemed to thoroughly enjoy the cake and punch, and you can be sure the real hit of th e evening was th e fireworks which followed the refreshments . Resuming our chapter activities this fall we were entertained at a buffet supper on Saturday,' September 12, by Sarah Lee Eiselman who has made this an annual event. After a delicious fried chicken dinner a short business mee ting was conducted by our ~ew

president, Helen Lortz, at which time plans were discussed for the 1953-54 year.-MARGARET BANKS.

Wichita, Kansas CAN it poss~bly be fall so soon? Seems only a short while since our April meeting, when we gathered at the home of Vernelle Worrell Bergerhouse. High spots of the evening were reports by Vernelle and Ollie May Aspinall Alexander who attended the combined Kansas-Missouri State Day held at Kansas City. Clarice Benefield Blamer told us about the Oklahoma State Day at Alva, Oklahoma, and jud'g ing from the descriptions and pictures the girls brought back. both State Days were quite a success! · In May we had our annual covered dish supper with Dorothy Bethel as hostess. We had decided that each of us would bring a dish of our own choosing, and it was with secret qualms that we approached the table. · However, we found that our minds did not run in the same channels, and we had a wonderful assortment of culinary treats. Our chief item of business was the election of officers for this year. Jane Findley Wright is our new president; Pauline Haworth Huneke, vice president; Janet Wilson Coe, recording secretary; and Dorothy Losey Hammond, corresponding secretary. Our first meeting of the fall was held at the home of Inna Palango Coffey, and what a time we had catching up on all the summer nP-ws! We were happy to welcome four new members: Barbara Roush and <Dorothy Montgomery Dixon, M; Nonna Valentine Dawson, HH; and Virgil Ferabee, EE. We are quite eager to r,enew work on our philanthropic project, which is the Winfield State Training School for mentally retarded children. This year, as a special interest, we are undertaking the -equipping of the newly-decorated occupational therapy room. We hope to have a representative of the school at our next me p ting. ~DoROTHY LosEY HAMMOND.
