â&#x20AC;˘ THE 1958 Alpha Sigma Alpha National Convention was in session from June 29 to July 3, 1958, at Galen Hall, in the heart of the famous Pennsylvania Dutch country. Mrs. Clayton A. Richard and Mrs. William Niemeyer, national treasurer and membership director, respectively, were in charge of registration, and this first event of the convention was followed by a beautiful buffet luncheon. The hostess chapters of Pennsylvania, who welcomed th e conventioneers from coast to coast, were represented by: Judith Halfast Ar, Linda Schneeman KK, Barbara O'Leary NN, Louise Johnson Bn, Betty Urban Wallick ZZ, Carol E. Williams KK, Gayle Dickson A, and Mary Ball Wilson NN. The first business session was called to order by Miss Evelyn G. Bell, national president . Viol a Caraway Brewer, national ritual chairman, read the invocation which began with these words: "As we open our national convention in .1 state dedicated since its earliest days to freedom and so near the sight of Freedom's Foundation; as we assemble from the four corners of this great n ation with the principles of unalienable ri ghts of life, liberty, and th ~ pursuit of happiness before us, it seems fitting that we should open our deliberations with a prayer for the continuation of

those principles and tho e institutions that have m ade organizations like ours pos ible."

THE TRADITIONAL PROCESSION The traditi ona l procession of college and alumnae delegate was most interesting. As each delegate introduced herse lf and submitted her report, the locati on of her chapter was designa ted on a large m a p of the United Sta tes. The balance of thi s busin e s e sion was d voted to receiving th e reports of the n a tional offi ce rs. Upon adjournm en t we were free to swim in the beautiful F orest Glade pool or to parti cipa te in other recreational activities. Th e hostess s fo r the Pennsylvania Dutch Din ner, with Mrs. George L. Ba ker, J r. as chairm an, were th e Pi ttsbu rgh and India na (Pennsylvania ) Alumnae A sociations a nd Alpha Gamma and Beta Omega Ch apters . Each guest donned an Amish apron and p rayer cap upon entering th e dining room, and the beautiful tabl e decorations carried out the theme of the dinner. At each pl ace were a canape tray a nd a cookie cutter with a book of Pennsylva nia Du tch recipes a ttached. M rs.

The adopted program will be presented in more detail in THE PHOENIX. Lunch on the beautiful terrace beside the Forest Glade pool was followed by a bus trip to Valley Forge. At this impressive shrine, we visited the battlefi elds and Freedom's Foundation. A most impressive memoria l service was held in the lovely cha pel at Valley Forge. Mrs. Arthur L. H ellrich, national music chairman, presented a beautiful solo, accompanied by M ary K . Swan a t the organ .

" In the setting of Pennsylvania Dutch of C entral Pennsylva nia it is appropriate to refer to the Four Freedoms which safeguard the dignity that is in every human soul. To a Dutchman there is nothing revolutionary in these words; these fre edoms were the offspring of Dutch democracy that evolved from the Middle Ages. The freedom to utter feeling and convictio ns is a afety valve for discontent and indignation. Freedom from want is even more urgently craved than freedom of expression- a hungry person wants to eat, not spea k his mind. Fre dom from fear is expl icit in the other fre dom - of what has an individual to fear wh en she an confe s the religion she chooses, speak her mind w ith impunity and count on shelter and upport and freedom from want. Thus, our symbols of fre edom are rooted deep in the history of our Country: to

the Preamble of the Constitution, to the Bill of Rights, to the Four Freedoms, to the D eclaration of Independence and to the D eclaration of the Rights of Man." This set the tone for our Freedom's Banquet. Excerpts from "My Fair L ady" were narrated and sung by Mrs. Musa Eway, a well known musician of Bethlehem. She was accompanied by Mrs. L eslie Price. For the keynote of Alpha Sigma Alpha's Freedom Banquet, Dr. William W. Tomlinson, vicepresident of T emple University, Philadelphi a: Pennsylvania, gave an address entitled, "The Stewardship of Beauty." At the conclusion of Dr. Tomlinson's speech, the lights went out, and the Central Pennsylvani a alumnae narrated "The Hou se I Live In" with living pictures of The Spirit of '76 and th e Statu e of Liberty spotlighted . As th e lights came on, "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung by a ll. After such an interesting program, no one could refrain from being truly thankful for the privilege of living in this great and wonderful country. Dr. S. June Smith, a former m ember of the national council, was toastmistress. Mrs. Robert 0 . Birnstock, Central Pennsylvania a lumna, was chairman .

Arthur L . H ellrich, and her accompanist Mary K . Swan, added a great deal to the meeting with group singing, choruses, and ritualistic music. A liberal education was found in the Exhibit Hall which featured college and alumnae crapbooks, favors, posters of chapter philanthropic and social projects, and the magazine acrency. This was arra nged by Mrs. Robert Wolf national art cha irman, assisted by Mrs. David L. Lent. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. H elen B. Swart, national a lumnae director, the a lumnae workshops created m any lively discussions. Mrs. Leonard B. H ebert, Jr., national alumn ae organizer, recorded highlights of the convention on film, copies of which are availab le for howing by college and alumnae chapters. Bea utiful Galen Hall with its conve ntion and recreational facilities added a great dea l to the ational success of Alpha Sigma Alpha's 1958 Convention.

THE STEWARDSHIP OF BEAUTY by Dr. William W. T omlinson, Vice-President of Temple University • DR . WIL LIAM W. ToMLJ • soN, who gave th e key note address at the Freedom Ba nqu et, is vice-president of Templ e Universi ty. H e has th e unique assignment of gen eral responsibility for student aff a irs an d services, as well a setting up T emple's affili a tio n with th e Uni vers ity of H amburg. Dr. T omlinson is wid ely known in edu ca tion al circles on both sides of th e Atlantic and is one of America's most vigo rous advocates of world u n d e r s t a n d i n g throu gh educa tion . Dr. Tomlinson h as published four books: one, " Time Out to Live." was a non-fiction bes t seller in 19 39. His 1952 address, "This I Believe," was broa dcast over th e Voi ce of America and Armed Forces Network an d translated in newspapers of 97 countries. "The Stewa rd ship of Beauty," his key note address, appears below .

• IN these days of fears and tensions, what thoughts m ay one express which have about them the aura of encouragement? Particularly in this setting of na ture's grandeur and in the delightfu l presence. of such an abundance of human charm - what does one talk about? As I anticipated tonight's occasion, I felt I would Like to discuss a subject to which we are a ll most sensitive-beauty! Now I offer no apol ogy for this particular selection, and I intend to treat it neither sentimentally nor patronizingly, for beauty is one of life's most profound forces. It wa Lew Wallace who said th at beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You , ladies, know a great deal about that, and we m en are pleased that you do for that gives to life an exhilaration a lmo t unmatch ed by any other human expe rience. Th ere arc two kinds of bea uty. First, there is the beauty which reacts on the eye, the ea r, and through th other sen es. I suppose we might ca ll this external beauty. Then, there is a n interna l beauty wh ich expresse it elf outwardly. urh b au ty find it source in our thoughts, our ideals, and our attitudes. It character- the c cncc of a good society. With your p rmi sio n I hould like to offer a definiti on of beauty whi ch I may treat with the ba ic challenge of th times. This is my definition which I hope you will accept: Beauty i that forc e wh1ch ennoble life. 10

CoNFLICT BETWEEN BEA

TV AND UGLINESS

When we stop to think about it we cannot escape the fact th a t the prima ry challenge of these times centers in a con fli ct between bea uty and ugliness. It is a criti cal struggle between that which ennobl es a nd that which degrades. L et's hift our mental perspective just a bit. We live in a world of things and of ideas. One a larmingly prevalent idea is that things arc all that matter. Money, motor cars, gadgets ga lore - too often th ese a rc our chief m easure of worth. Too often, a lso, w 'vc m ade them the distinguishing marks of an American ... a nd that has gained for us the envy and th e dislike of other peoples of the world. But let's not lo e our perspective. Things are important. Life could not go on without them. either wou ld life be endurable if the world held nothing but things. Yet, the degrading idea exists in m any qu arters that people are only thinas, and that is an idea of devastating ugliness. It is the p articular concept of tyranny. Throughout history, from th e days of the pyramids to the modern police state, m en have been rega rded as the tool s of production and the imp lements by m eans of which designing tyrants sought to furth er their ambitions, a nd when men obstructed these ends, they were destroyed . " Liquidated" is the word now most in vogue. Lately I've been reading John Gunther's "Inside Russia Today," and in that book he reca ll s the Leningrad slaughter of the 1930's which put to death thousands of individua ls who happened to disagree with the Soviet regime of the time. The technique of murder is not uniqu e. A few years ago I stood on e day mutely and with bowed h ead before a grim reminder of man s desecration of ma n. There a bout me were pistol ranges, the gas chambers, and th e oven which were th instru ment of destruction of unknown thousands- unknown thousand who had been held no more sacred tha n the logs which turn d their tortured bodies into a hes. 'TI-IE

DIGNI T Y OF MAN "

At this point we come upon a noth er idea. It an idea expressed by th e words, " the dignity of man." In that great conce pt man achieves a power a nd a majesty which set him apart from e ery other li vi ng thing.

Under tyranny only the regime has power and majesty-even over human destiny. Not long ago I met a young Russian by the name of ichol as Gonshoroff who is now a m ember of the Intern ational Committee of the YMCA. During the Second World War Gonshoroff was a tank commander in the Russian Army. H e was captured and ultimately mad e his way to England and then to the United States. One day Nicholas Gonshoroff told a group of us about his experiences as a school boy in Soviet Russia. On the first day the teacher stood before th e class and announced, "This morning, children, we are going to conduct an experiment. I want all of you whose parents have taught you about God to rise and stand against the far wall of this room. I ha ll give you three minutes and during that tim e I want you to pray to your God for those things you would most like to receive." Knowing his child psychology, the teacher suggested that they might pray for candy, fruits, and toys. At the end of three minutes the teacher a nnounced, " Now children, your time is up. You may turn about and open your eyes." Your minds have run on beyond my words. Nothing, of course, happened. That was the teacher's way of demonstrating to their young minds the "myth" of God. "And now," said the teacher, "I want the rest of you young people to stand along th e wall nearest me. Then will you bow your h eads and ask the State and the Party to give you those things you most desire." His words had scarcely passed his lips when the doors of the room open ed a nd in marched party functionaries, .their arms fill ed with all sorts of packages for their excited recipients. HuMAN DroNITY RELATES MAN TO Goo Tyranny, you see, relates man to a ruler, a party, or a state, but human dignity relates man to God and thereby ennobl es him. That makes all the difference, for it removes man from the category of things and stamps him as a part of the divin e cheme. May I tell you of one of the most inspiring adventures of m y life? It happened in Oslo, Norway, not so long ago as I was renewing m y acqu a inta nce with the fantastic Vigeland layout. That is the name applied to a tract of one _h undred acres or more of formal gardens all devoted to a massive exhibition of the work of the Norwegian sculptor, Gustav Vigeland. H ere Vigela nd has portrayed in bronze and o-ranite his concept of the experience we call life ~-vith a ll its struggles and conflicts and its victories and defeats. By the time h e h as taken it a ll in. one is somewhat overpowered by the enormity of

both concept and execution, and he find him elf trying to reduce the complexit of it all to the simple and the universal value . I remembered that omewhere in that great expan e, set apart from the layout it elf was a bu t of Abraham Linco ln. I asked a friendly Norwegia n to direct me to it. He pointed to a Norwegia n fl ag flying in a distant corner of th gardens. " I t is there," he said, "and inscribed be ide it are Linco ln' s greatest words." LrNCOL ' GREATEST WoRD I was intrigued by thi re pon e, and I was curi ous to know what, to a Norwegian were Mr. Lincoln 's greatest words. A few minut later I stood look ing into the strong bronze face of a Man of the Ages. To it left was a tablet wh ich read, " Presented to Norway by the People of orth D a kota , Jul y 4, 191 4," and to its rio-ht was a second tablet which set forth in clear bold letters the grea test words ever spoken by Abraham Linco ln. They were these: "That government of the Peopl e, by the Peop le, and for the People sha ll not perish from the Earth." H ere was an affirmation of faith in human beings; here was a recognition of man's essential dignity a nd his right to live free. Lincoln, I think, symboli z s America's greatest contribu tion to the hopes a nd aspirations of free men. But as a friend of min e from the Philippine Islands expressed it the other day, "Freedom is only for those who deserve it. " Freedom is for those who deserve it by virtue of know ledge and wisdom. Thus, we realize the importance of the edu cationa l activities which comma nd the interests oi us all. Freedom is for those who deserve it by the virtu e of an acce pta nce of socia l responsibility. Without that there can be no such thing as tru e civilization. Freedom is for thos who deserve it by virtue of a spiritual awareness which sets m a n a part from every other creature in God's universe. In the final ana lysis ours is a stewardsh ip of ennobling beauty which gives to life purpose, meaning, a nd hope and which gives to the world its finest aspira tions. I t may seem inappropriate to peak about beauty a a weapon. Yet, in an age of revolutionary stri fe and ugliness, I am convin ced that ennobling beauty may well be the mo t effective armament of an en lightened society. " What was the great sin of Rip Van Winkle?" omeone once asked. "Was it laziness? Was it drunkenness? Was it that he left his wife and family and wa ndered off one day into the mountain s without a single thought of his dom e tic repon ibilities?" ( Continued on Page 23)

FOUNDERS' DAY 1958 A s we pause once again to pay tribute to those who have had a vital part in the founding of our sorority, let us be ever mindful of the many privileges and pleasures that have been afforded us through our affiliation with Alpha Sigma Alpha. Let us reaffirm the pledge of our sisterhood so that the rich and abounding heritage that has been so graciously preserved for us will continue. May we faithfully execute our trust. Through love and friendship we have approached the "heart's desire" level many times. It is not unusual then for us to want to continue the spirit of fellowship that has endeared us to one another. By our words and deeds we must ever strive to attain physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development, which will culminate in a full and well-rounded life. By serving others we shall be truly inspired in the development of unselfishness, loyalty, and generosity. We must remember our obligations to others, to one another, and to ourselves. Whether it has been a few days or several years since a badge was first placed over your heart, the thrilling feeling and deep sense of pride in being part of a vast organization can still be the same. The words, jn part, of our "Hymn to Alpha Sigma Alpha" will always be an 路inspiration:

awe pledge our loyalty to strive always To seek, aspire, attain. Again we pledge our vows to be The highest, as inspired by thee. We bow our hearts in humble awe to thee, Our own sorority." So as we pledge our loyalty anew, may we work together in the spirit of cooperation and love to preserve our "family" heritage and a worthwhile way of life.- JEAN R. GRADY, National President.

"It was none of these," the teller of this tale observed. "The great sin of Rip Van Winkl e was that he slept through the greatest revolution of his time with a loaded musket by his side." The world is passing through the greatest political and social revolution in the history of mankind. Through this revolution those who are the custodians of the forces which beaut ify and ennoble dare not sleep.

AN-. ASA RESPONSIBILITY THE MENTALLY RETARDED CHILD • ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA has adopted a new national philanthropic project. It is national in scope but can be participated in on a local level with equa l effectiveness. The project, adopted and approved at our 22nd National Convention this summer for 1958-1961, is M entally Retarded Children. The motion which carried is as follows: "The philanthropic project of Alpha Sigma Alpha for 1958-1961 shall be the mentally retarded child. All moneys designated as available for philanthropy as of July 1, 1958, and a ll moneys avai lable on a national level for philanthropy during the period 1958-1961 shall be devoted to scholarships and/ or fellowships for study in this fi eld. These shall be administered by a committee of Alpha Sigma Alpha members with professiona l background in this field. Such a committee shall be appointed by the nationa l president with the approval of the national council and the national philanthropic chairman. Philanthropic proj ects in local communities may be chosen by members of Alpha Sigma Alpha living in these communities as deemed most valuable by them. Each active and alumnae chapter shall be urged to concentrate its local philanthropy in the fi eld of the mentally retarded child." Alpha ·Sigma Alpha maintains a fellowship loan fund, a portion of which goes to our philanthropic project. Money is a lso received for our philanthropy from the proceeds of our national ·m agazine sales. A scholarship has been established in th e amount of $2,500, and at th e present time a committee is being formed to pass on applications for this scholarship when they are received. The teaching and training of the retarded child should be done by qualified personnel as it is a specialized fi eld of its own. The extent to which it affects the inhabitants of the United States a nd the actua l number of retarded individuals are staggering. Thirty persons out of every thousand are m entally retarded to some degree (a total of 4,800,000 ch ildren and adults in the United States - more than twice the combined total of those affiicted with rheumatic heart, cerebral palsy, permanent polio, and blindnes ) . At least ten million per on in the United State are concerned with m ntal retardation, for it is a eriou problem to all per ons directly involved-to ,parents, brother and i ter . ' · Unlike mental illn ess, mental retardation is a 24

condition, not a disease. M edical research is looking for causes and prevention, but once brain tissue has been damaged, there can be no cure. Many retarded suffer physical handicaps, such as speech, motor, or sensory deficiencies. Some have distinct physical characteristics which may be classified (for example, the mongoloids and the hydrocephalies) . Everv state but four has special legislation providing . for teaching exceptional child ren, but there are at least a million who could benefit from training and are receiving none. State resident institutions are functioning beyond capacity with long five year waiting lists. Tht>re is a shortage of specially trained teachers, administrators, and researchers. Although these children will never be normal in ability, their school experience is worthwhile in terms of socialization, adaptability, interest, enjoyment, fulfillment of limited capabi lities, and a day to day something for which to live. "The joy in the faces of the children as they returned to school this fall is proof of this," comments the director of one of the mentally retarded schools. R etarded children a re as sensitive as normal children, but they show their emotions-anger, fear, affection- to a greater degree. They are often unpredictable and when they greet you with outstretched arms, you don't know whether they are going to kiss or kick you, and the chances are that they don'.t know either. Th e needs of a retarded child are the same as the normal child but more acute. He needs love, security, and a chance to feel useful. Like any child, he needs to go to school. Of course, in any proj ect of this magnitude, fin a nces play a large and important role. Not to be minimized however, is the great need for volunteers to assist in schools and training groups in the . many cities that have these facilities. Also, inquiri es at these centers will bring forth many other ways in which assistance could be given. Your ma ny re ponses to the inquiries regarding tl)e adoption of a new phil a nthropic proj ect led to the final acceptance of this one. The need is gr:eat; you have shown your intere t in this. Let's make it another tremendous succe s for Alpha Sif,rrna Alpha. JACQUELYN PHILLIPS CARSON ational Philant hropic Chairman

With Pi Sigmas the A:SAs designed and assembled 2,000 red and white "Capsize Navy" banners which were seen waving encouragement to our football squad when it opposed the Mighty Middies on Saturday, O ctober 4.

• ON May 17 members of Zeta Zeta Chapter present d to Children's Mercy Hospita l in Kansas City, Mis ouri, the chapter's a nnual gift of $250. This is the sixth consecutive year the chapter has given this gift to the hospital as its philanthropic project.

TALENTED ASA WINS COMPETITION â&#x20AC;˘ "LIFE truly begins at 40." So said a very young and very talented AlA on her birthday and the eve of her departure to a fabulous (there is no other word for it ) week in New York City as th e guest of the Columbia Broadcasting System . Grace Schreiner Roe III! of Fairport, N ew York, won the CBS Daytime Tel evisit Competition sponsored by the network, WBEN-TV, and the Buffalo Evening News. She represented New York State among 49 correspondents from the other states and Alaska. H er "job" : to observe production of many of the networks top daytime television programs, tour the faciliti es of CBS, chat with network stars and executives, and to be entertained royally a t many of Manha tta n's glamorous restaurants. In addition Grace wrote an article which appeared each day in the Buffalo Evenina News on the events of her day at the television studio. H er well written observations included many interesting notes on not only the famous stars but also a close look at the behind-the-scene activities which make such programs possible. Grace noted, much to the delight of her readers, things like the organized confusion of 75 people on stage all at once at the Jimmy Dean rehearsal; the charmingly casual Arthur Godfrey, who is the "master of sudden change" on his impromptu-type morning show; the home economist whose job of preparing the food and making the set-ups for TV commercials opens up a new field for the aspiring home economic graduates; and th e pleasure of meeting Warren Hull, former Buffalonian. Obviously, this exciting week was also a highly demanding one with a heavy schedule- a real challenge for a dynamic and creative person like Grace Roe. However, full schedules are not new to this wife, homemaker, and mother of three school-age children. Grace and Tommy literally built their

Grace gra duated from Buffalo State Teachers College in home economics and, of course, make ma ny of her own clothes, as well as her children' . She is a really wonderful cook (a favorite dessert of the Roe family is cheese-cake, and Grace's recipe was used on WBEN-TV ). Last, but hardly least. Grace has always been an active member of the Rochester AlA a lumnae. This is, indeed, one of those rare persons who can do many things well and accomplishes them with pleasant ease. Congratulations, Grace, on one more wonderful success a mong many! ~BARÂ BARA BRAUN, Buffalo Alumna.

THE PRIVILEGE OF JURY SERVICE â&#x20AC;˘ WHEN the U. S. Marshal calls at one's door and delivers a summons for jury service, it is a privilege and responsibility of citizenship which one can accept with unique pride. When the Founding Fathers established this Republic they deliberately placed the power of government in the hands of the people and it was designed in such a way that it could not be usurped by one person or a limited central committee. For this purpose, they divided the authority into three equally important divisions: the legislative-the executive-and the judicial-each two to serve as a check upon the third. The balance between these three arms of government must be maintained. A citizen's responsibility requires that he not only NOT yield his prerogatives, but that he participate to the fullest, according to his wisdom and capacity, in their proper functioning. In the current panel of jurors in the Civil

Court of the District of Columbia, there is a recently naturalized citizen. His original homeland is now an occupied country. His name has been shortened and Americanized to fit his new life here. Though he treasures beyond meas4re the recollection of the occasion of his admission to the full rights and privilege of citizenship in the United States, his joy is now even greater in being chosen to serve his country in a tangible waythat of participating in a jury panel and cooperating in the administration of a justice which he never knew as a young man. Each time a jury is called into service, the rights of the average citizen, as guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, are strengthened and reemphasized; the use of unwarranted power is checked; and the future of our America as a better place in which to live is assured.-CITIZENSHIP CoMMITTEE, National Pan hellenic Conference. 31

LIFE IS DIFFERENT IN PAKISTAN Bv Mas. LoYD GRIMES, Zeta Zeta â&#x20AC;˘ TIME passes so fast in this strange country of eternal desert. Each day we see many things similar to the pictures in our Bibles and Sunday School papers. Camels and donkeys are truly the beasts of burden here. With bells at his knees and head high in the air, the camel trudges his leisured way, pulling his large flat wagon with its sundry load. The little donkey may pu ll a loaded twowheeled cart many times its size. We were startled by the hordes of men and boys on the streets in varying degrees of dress and undress. There are comparatively few women. In the markets (bazaars) you may see more and more women, some out of Purdah-many of the women who have been to the States or Europe have their freedom. Most still wear their beautiful saris but no vei ls nor burkas. Life here is very different from State-side. Our houses are mostly fl at-roofed concrete blocks coated over with cement. Each house is enclosed by a high wall. The compound becomes an oasis in the desert. Each night the gates are closed and the chowkidar (night watchman) is on duty from seven to seven. The mali (gardener) is watchman by day. We have visited several parts of Pakistan and India but find living in Karachi is more to our liking than elsewhere. It may be very hot and humid during the day, but with dusk comes the good outhwest breeze off the Arabian Sea. The weather from December through April is delightful - a light wrap is needed at night. We came to Pakistan in D ecember for two years. Loyd is Chief Education Advisor for the Government of Pakistan. H e works with the Ministries of East and West Provincial Governments a nd the Central Government. H e finds the work most interesting and a great challenge. Since mid-January I have been working at the American School. L ast year I taught one of the seventh grades. This year I a m to be head or principal. We have about 450 students (mostly American but some children from other Embassies, too). We shall have about 40 on the staff. We use the Calvert System for elementary and University of California Extension Courses for our high school. Editor's Note: Mrs. Grimes is one of the advisers of Zeta Zeta Chapter. She accompanied Dr. Grimes to Pakistan a year ago. H e is on leave of ab ence from his duties as Dean of Student Per onnel at Central Missouri State College to ser e on thi educational mi ion to Pakistan.

HOSTESS TO HOME ECONOMISTS â&#x20AC;˘ CATHERINE Van Horn Bieber NN of the W ilmington Alumnae Chapter enjoyed a most unusual experience in her capacity as a m ember of the staff of the Department of Home Economics at the University of D elaware during the summer months. Approximately 75 home economists from all over the world were to attend the Ninth International Congress on Home Economics of the International Federation of Home Economics held on the campus of the University of Maryland July 28 to August 2. The week before the Congress, the grou p took a tour in Delaware. Here, Kitty came in. She served on the Delaware planning committee and acted as one of the hostesses during their visit. The itinerary included visits to local industry, tours of the university and Winterthur museum, and visits with local farm families. Kitty said that 25 of the group spoke no English at all-just French. Interpreters and sign language saved the day! Many of the visitors have written since their return to their homelands. Here are better international relations with the help of an A.lA! - Mas . T. J. PELLEGRENE, Wilmington Alumna.

Rush took a little time, but we didn't mind as it meant bringing more girls into our group and having them share with us our enjoyment in sorority life. The theme for our parties was " Minstrel Moods" with a n old southern romantic theme being carried out in the d ecorations and with all of our members wearing full pastel-colored frocks. Our plans were made in the spring, thus, giving us a r ush program with harmony a nd success. Now we anticipate the coming semester as we prepare our new pledges for full membership.

LICKING-MUSKINGUM VALLEY, OHIO IF you saw a copy of the Saturda y E ve ning Post in September with a picture of the Y Bridge, you will understand th e name of this ch apter. At the Y, the Li cking from ewark flows into the Mu kingum from Coshocton, and the Muskin gum flow s on to Marietta . This is the third bridge across the river in this shape, the ea rli er ones h avi ng been covered. August brought a Pennsylvania Dutch supper in th e Stewart yard with H elen Smith and Lou ise being th e cooks. Schnitz un kn epp, pickled eggs and red beets, dried corn, schmeerkase and apple butter. chow chow, ot her sweets and sours, and shoo-fly pie were eaten by Alpha Sigs in white prayer caps. Part of th e food was

brought from the Amish area, including the hand-made pretzels from Lititz. Convention reports were made after the supper, and plans for the coming winter were formulated. We learned that Mary Agnes Barbour had received her degree with honors and been elected to Kappa D elta Pi this summer at Ohio University. On September 27 we enjoyed eating at Headley Inn, usually the scene of an annual August luncheon. The October meeting always belongs to Ethel Guthrie, while Founders' Day finds us in Zanesvi lle with Louise. The trip from Newark to Z anesville in a utumn is beautiful, and the ewark girls get ninety miles of driving each way. In fact, the sixty-mile length of the Muskingum Valley has been called the "Little Hudson of the West." The A2:A influence permeated the New Girl's Party at Zanesville's Senior High School with a Pennsylvania Dutch theme. Since the Zanesville AAUW literary group is studying regional writers, the September meeting was devoted to the area around Manheim, Lancaster, and R eadi ng. Helen Smith's famous shoo-fly pie drew an excellent attendance.-LouisE N. STEWART.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA LATE in June the Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter received an invitation to attend the Panhellenic luncheon in Pasadena which was sponsored this year by Alpha Phi Sorority.

Our first meeting of the year was held Saturday evening, September 20, at the home of Eleanor Bohn Kowalewsky XX in Woodland Hills. Our husbands were guests. Eleanor and her husband, Bruce, were the gracious host and hostess for this barbecue dinner served on their patio. Barbara Klee Clark BB and Martha Corigan Scott ZZ served as co-hostesses. Chefs at the three barbecue pits were Pete Clark, Ted Scott, and Bruce Kowalewsky. Everyone agreed they perform ed with great skill and have definitely proved they should do this often-especially for hungry Alpha Sigs and their families! As we arrived, each one was given numbers, and after dinner three raffle prizes were given away. Elaine Cole Erb XX won first prize, and her husband, Bob, held the second lucky number (which caused us to yell "it's fixed"). Julie Bessire Hammond XX won third prize:. After the barbecue we settled down to playing cards. We are happy to welcome a new member, Nancy Fitzgerald Snyder BB from Portland, Oregon. Nancy is right in the midst of our activities and in Octobe r served as co-hostess with Catherine Fitzgerald Bolton XX. This meeting was devoted to the convention report by Juanita Hemperley Styer XX, our delegate, Nancy Gibson Mathisen 2:2:, and Frances Tholen Priest EE. To recall all the events of the convention brought back many wonderful memories. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a gift to Nancy Mathisen, our new national alumnae director. We are all ancy and know her presence in our very proud of group will help strengthen our chapter. The meeting was held at the Hermosa Beach home of Julie Hammond. Each year our alumnae sell Christmas cards as our largest .money-making project. This year, along with the selhng of cards, we have added small educational toys which help " fill the stocking."

variety of social act1v1t1es in the near future, we are looking forward to a most enjoyable year with our alumnae group.-FRANCES PRIEST.
