There was no pro ram for the 1930 convention there i none printed here\ ith. The banquet wa almo t impromptu, an informal luncheon, nevertheless it wa the true culmination of the co:wention, expre ing the deep feeling which animated all the delegate and gue ts. It wa amid thi atmo phere of spontaneit that Mrs. harp poke to us ' ith an emotion which the printed words cannot convey.

The con ciou ne s of the great re ponsibility which you have placed on roe i very rave to me. Yet I know I hall not carry that re pon ibility alone-for each of you every Alpha Sigma hall hare it with me. A. S. A. is our orority. It mu t reflect the individuality the charm the apability of its compo ite member hip.

May I a k you if in your heart there is any disappointment r hun or the memory of one thin unple ant or unlovely let i be forgotten.

THE PHOENIX Remember this convention for its delightful sisterhood, for its affectionate, inspiring fellowship, for its glorious manifestation of loyalty. It has been a rare privilege to meet each of you. It has been a stimulating experience to share your enthusiasm and to feel your ability. I wish that I could tell you the extent of my belief in you, and the largeness of my respect for your capabilities. I know of no charm greater than that possessed by college girls. I know of nowhere to look for real potentiality if not in the heart and soul of young 'womanhood.

It is an old and trite expression and yet I must voice it because I believe it so sincerely, ."the world, the whole world challenges you"-college girls, sorority girls, my girls of A. S. A.-But remember: "The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky,No higher than the soul is high.

The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two And let the face of God shine through."

My message to you is to go back to your college campuses, and to your individual positions determined to broaden the horizons of your daily experiences-Life is immense-live it to its fullest. "Greet each new day with a cheer" which comes from a wide heart filled with courage and kindness. Meet each new experience, pleasant or trying, with a serenity born of a soul which knows great heights. Oh, I desire so much for you.

I wallt your lives to be rich in work~ in pleasure, in plain fun.

I want you early to learn "to push the sea and land farther aw4y on either hand." I want you now to know that in yourselves lies the power "to split the sky in two, and let the face of God shine through."

May I thank you for the honor of serving Alpha Sigma Alpha with you. I do not understand why I should be chosen to this high position in our sorority. I only know that I have been "faithful in few things" and in like manner I pledge to

Dear

.S

. E erywhere:

May I the ne ·t to the oldest in point of service of the retiring national council be permitted to peak or write to you of the wonderful new council that is to lead and guide our belove orority during the coming two year and I hope much ion er? Ever ince the convention in ]uly my heart has been o full of hallelujahs of praise that I ha e longed to have you join me in a full chorus.

I have known every one of this council and know ju t what he ha meant to our orority in love and in service. Two of them are well known by all of you for they erved faithfully an loy:lily on the old council for ei ht year . Two others have er e on the council but for not so long. The other four are new in national work but not unfamiliar with its problems. It i with joy that I pre ent the new council to you and be peak for them your levin con ideration and un tinted helpfulnes .

Our Pre ident Wilma Wilson Sharp (Mr . F. M.) was our national re · trar ince I 22. She is not only charming but ap ble. There is no one more so. I have known her since pril 1919 when I a i ted in her initiation as a charter member of Zeta Zeta chapter. he has sympathy and under tandin . he will never u urp authority nor attempt to dictate policie . or \ ill he think becau e she i chosen to fill the hi he t office in the orority that he i infallible. You will lin her faithful lo I and untiring in her desire to serve and not to be erve . race Fultz of Delta Delta wa our efficient trea urer for ei ht year and continue to hoi that very n: pon ible place ur council. Her ei ht year were tryin ones. he ha fought more battles for the orority than any one not conversant with the trial he met coul dream of. he know the weak pots in our financial polic as no other of us can know. Grace Fultz i ' rth · of all loyalty love on our part.

Mary A. Wagner, our new vice-president, was for a time our national chaplain. Those who were at the 1926 convention will remember her and the inspiration of her talk on the symbolism of our pin. She loves A. S. A. and will never find it tiring to serve the sorority. She is one to whom the chapter may go for its problems and find understanding and help.

Leona Wilcox of Iota Iota chapter has served us faithfully and loyally for two years as the Undergraduate secretary. She continues in that office but it is now Recording Secretary (please note). Leona has come into the national work after serving her own chapter in various capacities. She is one that meets this saying-"To see her is to love her." .

For the editor of our PHoENIX we have still a member of Theta Theta. Julia Lancaster is not a stranger to the work of A. S. A. It is to her love of the sorority that we owe our Xi Xi chapter in the University of California at Los Angeles. She was enrolled there and found it possible to gather for us that wonderful group of young women that made us known on the Pacific coast. Julia knows all our sorrows, all our troubles.

She knows what it will mean to have a live magazine that will meet the needs of the sorority. She will publish just that kind for us.

Evelyn Bell of Pi Pi chapter will faithfully serve us as national registrar. She too was at the 1926 convention and won every one by her pleasing manners and her love for the sorority. She 4as been the Supervisor of Service during the past two years. Evelyn will meet every duty with face forward and never falter.

In Doris Feeley of the Rho Rho chapter we have an alumna: officer who will see that our strays will be gathered and that they'renew their interest in the sorority. Had it not been for Doris Feeley, our Rho Rho's might have become lost to us.

She kept them together and held the torch of A. S. A. and kept it burning until convention time. From this you will know that she is one whom we delight to honor.

One of our baby chapter, Upsilon Upsilon, Denison University, Granville, Ohio, gives us our chaplain. Louise Stewart served her chapter most acceptably as vice-president and has been teaching one year. She is one of those dear girls who

In attempting to bring to you a report of the 19 o Alpha i rna Alpha Convention I am reminded at once of my limitation a a writer. Were I a dramatist I might ea ily arrange for you the cene within the acts, or were I a noveli t I might lead you to the thrilling climax and anti-climaxes in a manner fittin to the event of June 29th-July 4th. Being neither no eli t r ramati t you rnu t content yourselve with a mere outline of the proceedings.

Throughout thi report I a k you to keep in mind alway the very seriou problem we faced during this convention· name! avin the material and the ideali tic resource of lpha i rna Alpha from further e poilation by an enteran autocratic individual. To meet cunning with thorou h mastery of legal technique i not ea y when an inivi ual po e e the former and the group must quickly learn the latter. With thi principle in mind let u proceed to the u ine at han .

2. The withdrawal of Alpha Sigma Alpha from the A. E. S. in May, I929 without the consent of the National Council or the vote of the College Chapters; 3路 The suit for $soo.oo brought against Carol D. Pierce (on the grounds of mis-appropriation of funds during the inspection trip) by Ida Shaw Martin in the name of Alpha Sigma Alpha-again without Council knowledge or consent; 4路 The mephistophelian interpretation of "to hold the power of final decision on all disputed points" as found in Article V, Sec. I, page 4 of the manual.

There were countless other issues perhaps not so well known as: (I) the dismissal of advisers and the forced resignation of council members; ( 2) the un-investigated A. S. A. badge contract at seemingly high rates; (3) the rate of dues and life-membership fees as compared . to sororities of similar standing; (4) the complex relation of the National President of A. S. A. to the Sorority Service Bureau, Theta Sigma Upsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Lambda Omega, Theta Upsilon and several other similar organizations.

Most Alpha Sigs were not aware, that the Presidents of the Association of Teachers Colleges were raising questions concerning educational sororities in general and A. S. A. in particular. In the light of the actions of the May, I929 meeting of the Association of Educational Sororities twenty-one of the presidents from the twenty-three Teachers Colleges where there are A. S. A. Chapters signed a request for an investigation of the administration of the sorority to be made by its chapters. Failure in this particular would mean the necessary dismissal of these Chapters by their respective college administrations. Because these Teachers College presidents believed in tlie good of properly conducted sororities they were willing to send their attorney to convention to give advice to the girls in the mastering of various t~chnicalities such a situation automatically produces. Thus it was that Mr. 0. E. Jones of Missouri came to Boston-the legal representative of the association of Teachers College Presidents.

Realizing how important it was for the delegates to con~ trol this convention from the very beginning, we asked Mr. Jones to explain to us the customs pertaining to Convention

When thi meeting wa.r not calle an we had a ured our elve that the ational Pre ident wa ecurely establi he in room 120, some of u b came a bit u piciou . u picion wa not able to prevent the enjoyment of a elicious luncheon however. By 2 o clock it was generally lieved that a committee should en eavor to confer with Mr . Martin about the problem confronting this con ention. Her refu al to entertain this committee was curt and showed u plainly what we must do to avoid the entan lements of a ' ramped con ention."

It wa about 2:40 when we decided to declare our elve in convention a ernbled but upon going to the Colonial Room in the basement (believe to be our designated headquarter ) we foun the room close to us o Room 320 wa u ed instea .

It w at once moved econde and pas e that the nomination for a~onal Pre ident be in order. Wilma Wilson harp (7.2 " a triUmphantly elected and called to the chair. The fir t or er of bu in in the new administration was the moi n concernin the appointment of a Board of Tru tees to

THE PHOENIX immediately assume the protection and control of all Alpha Sigma Alpha monies and investments. This board is com~ posed of Miss Small (IIII), Mrs. Nattinger (ZZ), and Miss Bauch (MM).

A committee was then appointed to notify Mrs. Martin (and any others with her) that the convention was in session and would be glad to have her present her case before it. It was one of the most dramatic events of the convention, I be~ lieve! Formulating the proper words (with the help of Mr. Jones)-going to the desk to engage a bell-boy-following him to the doorway of the Colonial Room to witness the receipt of the message by Mr. Martin-dismissing the boy-seeing the Colonial Room door close-hearing just behind me the clang of a bell-and walking down the short passage to find two men appearing! Do you wonder at my statement concerning drama. We realized at once that they were plain-clothes men, but, the committee remained there in the corridor walking with them for an hour! Deeming that a "reasonable length of time" for an answer to our notice we returned to Room 320 to report.

Getting the National Treasurer with the Convention money in a place of safety and learning that an ex-collegia girl was being shadowed by the plain-clothes man seemed sufficiently important reasons for voting to continue the Convention ses~ sions at the Hotel Statler in Boston. (Despite newspaper items to the contrary.)

And with the appointment of Julia Lancaster as Conven~ tion Manager plans were made to check-out that evening im~ mediately following dinner. As much as we hated to leave the beauties of Swampscott we realized that the safety of the city was to mean more to us. But Julia gave us a wonderful time-and in every way Chicago was entirely out of the run~ ning 'in comparison. In fact, I hesitate to imagine the glories that Julia and her committee would have produced had she been able to make plans in advance. Can we forget historical Boston-luncheon at Durgin & Parks-the Nantasket boat trip-Concord and Lexington-and last, but not least, the informal luncheon at the Statler? They were all such happy occasiOns.

PINCH HITTING AT CONVENTION "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley."

The pre-convention meeting on Sunday in Boston was filled with important deliberations and a careful consideration of plans, but there was never a thought of matters pertaining to convention activities. Everything had been so well arranged and the program was so full of delightful prospects that it was with the happiest anticipations that we looked forward to the trip to Swampscott. As I was not eligible for the Advisors' meeting scheduled for Monday morning I drove over from my home in Wellesley about noon, bringing Edith Lundquist. The shore was very beautiful that day and I shall never forget how alluring the golf-greens behind the hotel looked. I could hardly wait to try them! The hotel is famous for its perfect service and it was great fun getting settled in the lovely big room which we Boston girls shared. We admired the pretty convention badges and program and met the other delegates, eager for the business of the day.

You all know how dramatically the events of the afternoon developed. One new situation after another arose and had to be met. Our happy dream castle changed to a sterner fortress of reality, to be bravely defended. It was a real inspiration to Theta Theta to see how unselfishly our sisters who had come a long way to play by the blue Atlantic loyally gave up the sunny afternoon with the beckoning waves calling from the shore, so 'as to be on hand for emergency decisions requiring their carefully considered votes. We all had such royal holidays plans,-but we were there first of all for Alpha Sigma Alpha. 路 There was not a quiver of hesitation when it became necessary to vote on the plan to move the convention to Boston. We knew that economy and independence required abandoning the attractive plans already made, and cheerfully, if with unavoidable regret, we packed up and left the seashore, for the city on a hot July night. Thus unexpectedly Theta Theta became the hostess chapter, and I was called to bat as pinch hitter.

There is as much art in being a gracious guest as a cordial

gloriously good time I had had, of the lovely guests who had played the game so splendidly that "pinch hitting" was part of the fun, and of everyone, especially my Theta Theta teammates, who had helped to make my shaky plans turn out to be a "Bigger and Better Convention", just as we had looked forward to on the Sunday that seemed so long ago.

who see in the latest rebirth of the PHoENIX the culmination of many hopes will take pleasure in expressing the new democracy in all their daily contacts. You .have more responsibility than ever before. Alpha Sigma Alpha is in your hands more than ever. What you do to express the new spirit animating us this year will be noted and remembered. Every one of you is a leader: on your campus, in your homes and communities.

You are a leader in A. S. A. What does your leadership stand for? Friendliness, above all things. A democracy cannot exist on suspicion, contempt, or snobbishness. Those of you on campus are surrounded by such a multitude of opportunities for friendship that you often feel perhaps that you can afford to be lavish of them, passing ~any by and choosing only a few.

Those of us who have passed out into the bigger world know that it is often lonely and friendly contacts very rare and precious. Cherish them! There are never too many. Make your sisterhood a generous inte!pretation beyond any barrier of pin or symbol. No other one thing will help so much to make the year full of happy attainment.

A friendly democracy in which every one is responsible for her share and every one helps to build on newer and finer spirit is our message to you from A.S.A. JuLIA E. LANCASTER.

Dr. Ida A. Jewett (Alpha Beta), of Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, will address the National Council of Teachers of English at its meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, at Thanksgiving. Her topic will be "The.Selection and Guidance of the Personnel of Teachers Colleges." Dr. Jewett is Chairman of the Council's committee which is studying the English curricula of teachers' colleges. It will be a fine opportunity for many Alpha Sigs to meet Dr. Jewett.

ALPHA BETA CHAPTER Greetings, everybody!

Alpha Betas are full of pep and ready for anything. It is a pleasure to be back on duty, for Alpha Sigma Alpha girls like work mingled with pleasure. Our fall rushing has been completed and so much enjoyed.

We gave two rush parties, A Progressive Dinner and an Earthquake Bridge. The Progressive started at six o'clock with the serving of melon cocktail at the home of Miss Frances Eggert on South High Street. Then, the party motored to the lovely country home of Miss Dorothy Propst, just east of the 路 city, where a delicious dinner course was served. The guests were entertained at the Propst home by Miss Lorraine Gates, who gave a jocky tap dance. Then we went to the home of Mrs. Virginia Ficke, where candlestick salad was served. Mrs. H. C. McCahan entertained with readings at the home of Virginia. The dessert course of apple pie, coffee and mints was served at our Alpha Beta home. The rooms and table at the home of each of the hostesses were attractively decorated with fall flowers and candles and during the dessert course each rushee received a red rose. The evening ended with an automobile ride.

Even the best of us play shocking bridge at times; at least our partners often think we do. Listen to the Earthquake!

The guests arrived to find the card tables set for bridge. When asked to find their seats by means of place cards, the guests felt they were in a foreign country. Soon, however, someone discovered the "key"-the names were written backwards. Feeling that the first shock was over everyone settled down to a game of bridge. But the reverberating of a second tremor was now to be heard as an envelope was placed on each table saying, "Pass hand to player on the left. Proceed with bid, original declarer playing the hand." Many times envelopes were placed on the table, each containing, "Earthquake Bridge", rules to follow. When the last shake had occurred, the high score was

Otir very first meeting this fall was held in her apartment.

We have eleven girls on the campus-enthusiastic, willing, and eager to make it a big year for Alpha Sigma Alpha. Sadie Chew is back, working toward a degree in the spring; and Beatrice Ball is doing work in the Commercial Department.

When it comes to getting a job done our girls can do it.

But listen! there was the biggest watermelon waiting! The occasion was the second week of school when we met one evening to clean our rooms. That deed was accomplished in no time; and you know the rest.

How Miss Shattuck Carved for the feedHow each girl chased Those little black seeds!

On September 29 we gave a dinner at the Bell Hotel honoring Mrs. Ivan Mauntel of Kappa Kappa chapter. She is a daughter-in-law of our patroness, Mrs. C. H. Mauntel, who was also present. 路 Edna Donley and Louise Gl~ser, alumna:, dropped in last Monday evening. We are very proud of our alumni-seven of them are employed in the Alva city schools. And they do so many nice things for us. Of last year's girls Elizabeth Gre.en is teaching in Shattuck High School; Theta Donley, Stafford High School; Zelma Harzman, Ingersoll High School; Ann Pennington, Buffalo High School; and Jewel Lucas near Selman.

We have a new housemother, Mrs. Lena D. McLane of Wellsville, Kansas. She is a most attractive woman, clever of speech and lots of fun-just the type with whom the girls will cooperate. We predict a happy and most successful year. We gave a little party for her Thursday evening, October 16, to which we invited our Patronesses and house mothers of all the sororities and fraternities, and the Dean of Women. After an interesting program the evening was spent visiting, after which delightful refreshments were served.

It is the custom of each fall for the sororities to entertain the fraternity men at an "open house". Friday evening, September 26, we were hostesses to the Sigma Mu Delta and Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternities.

Saturday evening, October II, we entertained the Phi Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternities.

After hours spent in receiving lines and dancing and drink~ ing punch, the open house season was over and we felt that we had had very successful parties.

There are a number of the "old girls" back this fall-two of them, Marion Perry, Council Grove; and Ester McAvoy, Wil~ liamsberg, after a year's absence. The other regulars are Bar~ bara Beverly, Burlingame; Helen Loveless, Marion; Winfred Gufler, Emporia; Josephine Lee, Parsons; Carolyn Ray, Em~ poria; Opal Pottorf, Severy; Virginia Tholan, Emporia; Car~ lene Gufler, Empora; Grace Thomas, Emporia; Mary Shannon, Arkansas City : Lucille Laughlin, Emporia; Elizabeth DeWar, Emporia.

Verna Barrett, of Marion, an active, came back to school with a trunk full of good looking clothes. She fell down the front steps and broke her ankle the first day of rush week, and had to quit school for the entire semester. We feel our loss keenly, for we are all so fond of Verna.

The officers for the year are: President, Lucille Laughlin;

the time was spent in organizing the camp. Friday night we had a picnic, with a dance afterwards, at the hotel. We went to bed dead tired after the dance, and we slept so soundly that we almost forgot to get up Saturday morning. Saturday after~ noon we gave a bridge party for our alumnce and patronesses, and we were so delighted to have Mrs. Fred Sharp, our own Zeta Zeta alumna, and newly elected National President, arrive just before the bridge was over. At the banquet Saturday night, our place cards were red and white miniature reproductions of the house. At each place was a red and white bag, to contain a penny for every pound. This money is for the purpose of starting a paint fund for the house. During the course of the evening Mary Louise Gallemore, in behalf of the house, pre~ sented Miss Hatz with a darling tea set, in appreciation of her for her faithfulness to us, and our regret at losing her as our house mother. The alumnce presented Mrs. Sharp with a cor~ sage, and the actives presented one to Mrs. Nattinger and Miss Hatz. We were glad to see so many out~of~town guests. Among the ones present were Mrs. Sh.arp, Elizabeth Farmer, Elizabeth Ferguson, Jo Dixon McMillan and Mildred Morrow Burke.

I almost forgot to tell you that Mrs. Nattinger has done wonders with the.house, the rooms look so lovely. Most of the furniture has been repainted, and the floors, due to wax, are terribly slick. We are certainly grateful to her for the way she has worked in order that we may enjoy the house more.

Our new house mother is Mrs. F. W. Calvert, wife of the history professor. They are so lovely to us and we are de~ lighted to have t~em with us.

Oh, Lizzie! I almost forgot to tell you the important thing.

We had our rush party, and it was a grand success. The .party was a bridge at the house. We had the house decorated with wild flowers, and it just looked grand. There were five tables, and three rushees. The rushees were presented little red and silver compacts as favors.

The Mother Patroness and Senior Tea was on Baccalaureate Sunday at the sorority house. Several of the mothers were initiated and the senior girls were presented with white gold compacts decorated with a chased design and the sorority crest.

Our spring formal took place May 24 with a dinner dance at the Country Club.

In July we celebrated our tenth birthday and homecoming with three big affairs, the first of which was a swim, picnic, and dance at Reding's Mill, near Joplin, Missouri. This was attended by the actives, alumnre and their "dates." The next function路 was a bridge luncheon at the Hotel Besse. The big event was a formal dinner at the Country Club with toasts and music by both actives and alumnre. A feature of the dinner was the large birthday cake with its ten candles. All of these functions were well attended by out-of-town alumnre.

And next comes the opening of school with new girls to rush and new boys to be rushed by-both of which are equally thrilling. As there is a Panhellenic rule stating that no more than four actives may be with a rushee or a group of rushees, there has been no rushing on a large scale as yet. Some of the girls have given bridges and slumber parties at their homes or at the sorority house. While we are on the subject of sorority houses, I might as well announce that we are having open house, October q, and are inviting all the sororities and fraternities on the campus, as well as all faculty members and their wives or husbands. I wish I could see all Alpha Sigma Alpha there!

As rush week doesn't start until October 24, I can't tell you much about that yet, but I'll let you in on a few of our plans.

The parties are to be carried out on a "Dreamland" theme.

Some cynical member remarked that it sounded like a nightmare to her. We are allowed only three parties. The first is to be a progressive party at the homes of Mrs. Robert Nesch, Mrs. Kenneth Spencer, with the grand finale at President Brandenburg's. Saturday afternoon will see a "Bridge of Dreams" at Mrs. C. F. Spencer's. Saturday night, we will have a formal dinner dance at Hotel Besse. That is all we have planned definitely as yet-you'll get the rest, and more, next time.

No doubt you have heard or will hear all about the convention, but we are especially eager to tell you that the new National Vice-President is our Mary Wagner. Kappa Kappa extends sincerest congratulations!

The girls busied themselves with varied but enjoyable activities during the summer. Six of them, with Mrs. Doyle, an advjser, attended the Boston Convention. The diary of those eventful days gives us a picture of girls excited during tense moments of business, jubilant through happy hours of sightseeing and recreation, and alarmed during the sleepless hours of night driving.

After her return from Boston, Margaret Spry studied Chemistry at Cornell University. Mildred Melsheimer attended summer school at Temple, while Anne Willauer traveled across the continent to enjoy the summer session at the University of California. Olive Wirth and Lilian Gish studied at the University of Pennsylvania. It was at Columbia University where Florence Remlinger and June Smith spent the summer that real A. S. A. spirit prevailed. It showed itself in the two delightful dinner parties held there and attended by girls from six chapters.

Mae Jacobs spent a delightful summer at Girard College as Librarian. "Kitty" Bender did camp work and Dorothy Gebhart was busy with playground activities. Several of our girls worked at the busy seashore and one in the beautiful Poconos.

Some attended camp-others rambled over miles of highways.

Filled with all the memories of a busy summer, the following girls returned to Temple, September 23rd: Evelyn Aiken, Helyn Brookhart, Dorothy Cardwell, Mary Cockill, Margaret Eves, ChJ.rlotte Hartman, Margaretta Hoover, Jean Lentz, Catherine Mitchell, Catharine Lowry, Margaret Spry, Phyllis Thomas, Betty Van Zandt, Mildred Cramer, Ruth Mercer, Minerva Messenger, Elizabeth Schlice, and Mary Emma Lindenmuth. Margaret J. Martin, one of our active members, has transferred to the University of West Virginia. We miss her greatly, but hope she will be happy and successful there.

THEPHOE IX In spite of condition which have a ver ely affecte the regi tration at near!}' every college the enrollment at the opening of the forty- e enth ear at Temple was I ooo and of the number about 1,200 were freshmen who for the fir t time in anumber of year find their cla a le to move about without 'hazing' by econ -year tudent .

The imposin even- tory uil in of the hoot of Medicine at Broad and Ontario streets, wa dedicated Octo er 15th in the pre enct of orne of the nations leading medical men and e ucators. Mayor Harry A.

Mayo chief of staff of the world-famed Mayo Clinic of Roche ter Minn. wa the recipient of an honorary degree after he delivered the principal a dre s in which he sounded the keynote of the latest advance in medicine and surgery.

Work on the Mitten Memorial Recreation H all ha advance rapidly and it i hoped the buildin will be ready for use after January 1 t. If you could see how crow e i our Cafeteria you would be able to understand at lea t partly why we ea erly await it completion.

LAMBDA LAMBDA CHAPTER Dear Alpha Sigs: Well, here we are again. It's just the same old busy campus.

And rushing? Oh! what rushing we've been doing. Rushing started September 26 and ended October 3, during which time no one had time to draw an extra breath. But this was to no avail. We have some very sweet girls this quarter. Our new pledges are: Grace Cameron, 1906 North High Street, Columbus, Ohio.

Well about our rushing parties. Friday, September 26, we ha~ a tea to open rushing. Saturday, Sunday and Monday all the sororities on the campus held open house. Tuesday evening we had a lovely dinner at the Cambridge Arms. A number of the alumnce were present and we all had a wonderful time. Open house was held again on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday the rushees voted and Saturday evening we held our formal pledging. After pledging we celebrated by having a spread. We have had very successful rushing this quarter.

We now have informal rushing during the fall and spring terms and formal rushing during the winter term. We have entertained several groups of girls at the house during the past two weeks. Last week we took several to the theatre and after~ wards came back to the house for hot chocolate and wafers.

This last week has been a busy one. Everybody has been busy decorating the house for homecoming, which is this week~ end. Saturday is the day of the big game between U psilanti and Kalamazoo. The sorority was pleased to have a letter from Mildred Perkins Smith, an alumna of Miami University. Her husband is track coach at Kalamazoo and they are coming to the game Saturday. We are looking forward to meeting this sorority sister of ours. Well, dear diary, I believe I have told . you all the new I know, so now I am going to tuck you away in your drawer. Next time I write in you I hope I will be able to tell you that the chapter won the prize for the best decorated house for homecoming.

NU NU CHAPTER Nu Nu chapter held its first meeting in the Drexel Women's Lounge, Monday evening, September 29. The absence of eleven last year graduates was keenly felt. We have, however, two channels through which consolation comes to us, namely, the proximity of most of these alumnx members who can be counted on for cooperation in Nu Nu's work or play, and the promise of many worthwhile pledges from this year's group of splendid freshmen.

At this first meeting, Emily Tabor presented an interesting account of the Swampscott convention in June. We were espe~ cially interested in the pictures Emily had of our new national officers. Dorothy Williamson, our ex-president, gave a report of the revisions committee of the A. S. A. Manual. We are proud to feel that Dorothy is one of the thn:e members of this committee. Miss Richmond, advisor, and Romayne Gregory, president, also represented the Drexel chapter at the June con~ vention.

Miss Frances E. Macintyre, our much-loved sponsor, has sent in her resignation, which has beeri accepted only with the

Our rushing season was very busy. We had a formal bridge tea with Mrs. Echman and Mrs. Fellows as hostesses. Ever so many lovely girls attended and we had a very good time.

In quick succession we had a Spanish dinner, cooked by a real Spanish cook, a Rumnuckle luncheon, a real Japanese dinner (we had rice for days after), a Spook party, with a very lively ghost hanging by a string from the chandelier, and then as a final climax we had a formal dinner at the Elks' club. The food was very good and plenty of it. All of the girls looked lovely and we had a very good time. We pledged Louise Cramer, a very sweet girl, whom we are glad to have with us. yYe are giving small informal rush parties-such as having the girls over for luncheons, dinners, and bridge parties. It is lots of fun and quite exciting.

We hold an option on a $6,500 lot on sorority row, and we hope to build as soon as we can negotiate a loan for that purpose.

Alpha Sigma Alpha's City Association is giving a bridge benefit which we all plan to attend.

PI PI CHAPTER Dear AI pha Sigs: Today I am just brimming over with enthusiasm. You know, the kind of spirit you find yourself in after you have just passed through a period of uncertainty.

The girls of Pi Pi Chapter started in this year spurred by the success of the Convention and determined to make this the most successful ever. By the way, did you notice any Pi Pi Chapter: girls at Convention? If you didn't you couldn't have been awake, for we claim honors for having the largest delegation present. With the victory of the Convention behind us Pi Pi Chapter has gone ahead and added honor upon honor until we can't be beat.

Being a Greek letter society and never having had a Grecian party, we decided to do just that at our upper class rush party. The bids were scrolls of parchment paper, tied with a red and white cord and tassel, with a verse written in black ink. At the party we tried to create a cultured atmosphere,

"Dot" Marley, our President, is taking an active part in the new student government which is being introduced at Buffalo State Teachers College. She is chairman of the Discipline Committee. Dot thinks her biggest discipline problem is to see that her Alpha Sig "children" keep good hours at sorority house parties.

Marion Burnes has profited so wisely by practicing her duties as recording secretary that she has been chosen News Editor for the school year book, the Elms. I am her assistant, but I question the advisability of such a combination.

Not every sorority can claim the honor of having a member who also belongs to an honorary sorority. Margaret Daly has been elected to Phi Omicron Upsilon, the national honorary Home Economics sorority. We certainly are proud of our Margaret.

Dorothy Duffy (or is it Wuffy ?) is captain of her section for this semester. It takes an Alpha Sig to put school spirit into a section, and watch Dot do it!

I would go on forever telling you what Pi Pi girls are doing, but I must save some for the next time.

RHO RHO CHAPTER A most delightful affair was the tea given for the Alpha Sigma Alpha rushees, by Mrs. A. W. Hayes, patroness, and Miss Mary Jane Alexander, faculty adviser, ;1t the home of Mrs. Hayes, October 14th. ' The guests were met by Miss Mary Lillian Garsuch and Virginia Shewey, who led them to the receiving line, composed of Miss Mary Elizabeth Summers, Mrs. A. W. Hayes, Mrs. W. J. Harvie, Mrs. H. G.

The largest social affair held so far has been the "General Jam"-an old tradition of the campus. All the new men and women, each accompanied by an upperclassman, meet formally.

After three hours of hand shaking and a little punch everyone departs with a confused memory.

Our football team has not had a very good season so far, but we hope they will be more successful in the rest of the games. Michigan, St. Xavier and Muskingum have defeated us.

In honor of Virgil's two thousandth birthday, Eta Sigma Phi, a classical fraternity on campus, is devoting this semester's programs to him and his works. Dido and Aeneas, pageant drama, will be presented on Wednesday evening, October 15, by the fraternity, assisted by the department of speech, Denison Conservatory of Music and Orchesis, a dancing group.

The week-end of October 17 is Homecoming. Upsilon Upsilon is planning to have a larg<; number of alumna: back.

Some of the leading events are: the football game with Miami on Friday, the dedication of the fraternity houses belonging to Gamma Xi chapter of Kappa Sigma and Lambda Deuteron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, an all-Denison affair closing with the Panhellenic Serenade.

When scholastic standings of the social groups were rated, Alpha Sigma Alpha ranked second as a group and third individually.

I almost forgot to mention how glad Upsilon Upsilon was to learn that one of its alumna: was the new national Chaplain and that another was a member of the revision committee.

PHI PHI CHAPTER Rush week activities for the Northwest Missouri State Teachers College were inaugurated this afternoon when the two sororities路 held their Panhellenic tea in Social Hall from three to five o'clock.

contest. Oh, yes, and "Queenie Smith," the famous beach dancer in person. Besides the part that was most interesting was "no cover charge." See? At last Thursday evening came and they came by for us at eight. We stopped in front of a house with a sign on it-"Asa by the Sea." It was the right place, and eighteen of us strode up the "board walk." It was a veritable beach for sure, beach parasols, beach chairs, advertisements of shore dinners and bathing equipment, and on each side of the door were two green inflated objects. (I told one rushee they must be octopi, but she said she knew they were turtles.) All the Alpha Sigs had on beach pajamas or coolie coats and bathing suits. I commenced to get beach giddiness after we had danced a 路little and they had given us our dance pwgrams with cute bathing girls and umbrellas drawn and painted in red and white. After that first dance I wish you could have seen me. We got numbers that drew the cutest big beach hats; they were all colors, and I got a yellow one.

Then we danced again until the bathing beauty contest.

There were four contestants, Miss Parnell, Miss Skidmore, Miss Maryville, and Miss Pumpkin Center (she had on the craziest polka dot beach outfit dating from r890, I think.) Of course, she won the big tin cup tied with tulle.

When we got tired or warm from dancing, we'd got out under the beach parasols and Mary Ann Bovard and Lillian Townsend would serve us with pop. Really they looked too cute for words in their beach pajamas of yellow and white checks.

After pop, we felt better, and it was "on with the dance."

Sometimes Nellie Dawson sang besides playing, and sometimes the Alpha Sigs sang their pep songs. During one special dance we took a little time out to go to the beach and got some salt water taffy in imitation sand bucket pails, with an A. S. A. motif on the lid. We chewed and chewed. It was good; I never ate any before, for this was real salt water taffy right from Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Later, Queenie Smith did a clog for us. I knew it was getting later and later, but I never knew so much time could pass so quickly. After the twelfth dance we had food, orange ice,

HISTORY OF SIGMA ALPHA SORORITY On the afternoon of Friday, November 23, 1928, Frances Flanders, Mabel Sorey and Mildred Chambers were sitting in Frances' room with nothing to do but talk. Attending a school which boasts four national educational sororities, the conversa~ tion naturally turned to sororities. Each girl agreed that she would like very much to be a sorority girl. Things, however, seemed hopeless. All three of these girls were Seniors and sororities want girls who can carry on the work next yearnot Seniors who are going out into the State. The three girls had attended denominational schools before coming to Normal, and, consequently, had had no chance to be what every college girl desires so much to be-a sorority girl.

On Monday afternoon, November 26, 1928, these girls went to see Miss Catherine Winters, chairman the faculty commit~ tee on sororities, to discuss the advisability of organizing an~ other educational sorority on the Stat{\Normal campus. Miss Winters conferred with Mrs. Hereford, the Dean of Women.

Mrs. Hereford agreed to see Mr. Roy, President of the L. S. N. C., regarding the problem.

On Tuesday, November 27, 1928, Mrs. Hereford notified the girls that they would be allowed to organize a local educa~ tional sorority. They determined to ask Alpha Sigma Alpha if it would consider a petition from the group.

A meeting was called for Wednesday night, November 28, 1928, plans were made for the work of the sorority, and officers were elected. The officers were: President, Mary White; vicepresident, Bessie Horn; recording secretary, Louise Buffington;

POEM I sought for gold in hidden clefts, And mountain holds today, But gold was pollen on the face Of daisies by my way.

Red! Red of garnets, red as blood Or ruby red as well1 asked for these, 'til 'cross my path A glorious poppy fell.

For blue of sapphires was my quest And blue of southern skies!

My quest led home-I found that blue, Within my lady's eyes.

My lady liked the poppy And the pollen painted face And now the red and yellow Nestle in my lady's lace.
