DR. WILLIAM BUTLER WELCOMES ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA TO CAMPUS ''ALPHA SIGMA LPHA is the second orority on campu to becom national. This is very importa nt and i going to add a lot to our campus in the years a head. Exactly why the former State campus did not a ttract a lot of nationa l fraternities and ororities, we do not know but at the time of merger, many national Greek sororities were interested in coming to our campus.

"I am very happy to welcome you to the campus tonight as a new member of the umverity family.

"Now for the housing situation! During the last ix months the Student Life and lntere t Committee began examining the qu estion of housing. M any of the sororities have been interes ted in CYbtaining some kind of Panhellenic House, a well a independent houses for the sororities. Around campus a number of religious group have already purchased property.

So you can ee that the situation is moving swiftly, and we don't want the fraterniti es and sororities to be left on the outside.

Dr. \ Villiam Butler Dean of Men

"A letter has been re eived from Doctor Peterson of th e Madison campus, enumerating several way to fin a nce a house. You must begin making inquiries to property owners around campus.

Mr. Kramm er is looking a round the neighborhood now. Sororities will have to let us know thei r wi he a nd let us know immediately what happens. Once they ha e omething in mind, po ibly, w want your opinion. Then they can go to Madi on for financial help in backing it.

They want to move a long a rapidly as possible for hou. ing.

"We w kome you to the campus and hope your ear. will be fruitful and ucces ful."

LET u wear ou r pin with pride, but let us o li e that no pin is needed to show the world that we have benefited by a great privilege . . . a ociation with friend of our choice, bound tog ther in the furtherance of high jd als.-ELIZABETH R OLD, Gamma Phi Beta, via Th e Angelos of K appa Delta.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE IN October, 1955, the L egislature of the State of Wisconsin authorized the merger of Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, and the University Extension Division in Milwaukee into a four-year co-educational unit- The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. This legislation also provided that the merged institution be operated as an integral part of the University of Wisconsin, with degrees to be granted by the Board of R egents in the same manner and with the same status as degrees granted in other units of the University.

The provost of the UW-M i Dr. J. Martin Klotsche, who had served a pre ident of Wi consin State College for the previous ten year .

H e and other administrators, deans, and d partment heads were appointed by the University Board of R egents. The provost reports directly to the University of Wisconsin president, Dr. Conrad Elvehj em. The UW- M taffs 400 faculty members an d 150 civi l service m embers.

Strong links have been forged between the departments in Milwaukee and their counterparts on the Madison campus. University faculty members in Milwaukee are part of the UW faculty, serve on UW committees, and pl<i.y their parts in the government of the Univer ity of Wisconsin. The object of all faculty members is to work together to develop th e University as an integrated whole.

The new unit operates on two campuses: the Kenwood campus, a th irty-acre tract in the northeastern residential section of the city, and the Downtown camp us, located in Milwaukee's C ivi c Center in th e heart of the downtown area.

Dr. J. Martin Klotse h e Provost of the University of Wiscon sin-~iilwaukee

Rarely h ave two institutions separately serving a single city been united within the framework of a great university. The single institution provides adequate facilities for an enlarging program to meet the needs of the south eastern lakeshore area of the state; Milwaukee's needs are calculated in the light of the total needs of th e Unive rsity.

When the new University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee opened its doors to students in September 1956 the event marked the culmination of ' months of' careful p lanning and preparation by administrators and staff members from both of the Milwaukee institutions and from th e Madison campus. Located in an area with one-third of the state's population within commuting distance it has the traditions of two fine institutions to su~port it. In addition, it h as the sources of the University of Wisconsin with an international reputation as a center of highest quality teaching, significant resea rch, and broad public service.

Further expansion and building are expected to take place in the area surrounding the Kenwood campus.

Present enrollment is about 9,000, including both day and evening class students.

Although liberal arts and education are generally found on the K enwood campus, and ~fiss Charlotte Wollaeger engineering and commerce, on the downDean of \Vomen town campus, a sufficient number of courses is offered on both campuses, thus eliminating needless shuttling between campuses. The combined holdings of the libraries number approximately 120,000 catalogued volumes, and over 600 magazines and 25 daily newspapers are received currently.

The University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, a pa rt of the University of Wisconsin, is accredited by the Association of American Universities and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It offers the following degree : Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Master of Science.

Facility has been provided for the transfer of students who wish to continue their studies a t the M adison campus.

The University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee embodies a College of Letters and Science with twenty-two departments offering a wide variety of courses in the liberal arts field, a School of Education with seven departments, Divisions of Commerce and Engineering, and an Evening Di-

of education social work commerce, and engineering. Work toward a. do.ctor's d~gree is not offered in Milwa ukee at this time but IS one of the long-range goal of the UW- M. Activities at the UW- M include student government, debate, drama, choral music: . band, orchestra, radio and journalistic opportumties, religious activities professional and h?norary . ~r足 ganizations, and local and national social soront1es and fraterniti es.

A program of intramural and va~sity athletics is conducted. The varsity sports mclude football, basketball, swimming, track, tennis, and golf.

The Women's R ecreation Association provides women students with a varied athletic program.

The University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee also maintains a R eserve Officers Training Corps program .

Being an urban institution, the University offers the community a variety of events to which professional groups and the general public, as well as faculty and students, are invited. These events include a concert series, lectures, institutes, and conferences. Many are held in cooperation with the University Extension Division; some are cosponsored with civic organizations.

Two clinics, well equipped with materials and facilities for testing and therapy, are maintained by the UW- M . The Speech Clinic serves the campus and the Milwaukee area and is an integral part of the training of teachers of speech correction. The H earing Evaluation Center serves the community and state, as well as the UW- M , and offers demonstration and practice for students in the education of the deaf and hard of hearmg.

VISIOn.

Noted for its School of Education, the UW- M offer teacher training in elementary, secondary, art mu ic, physical education, and library science and i one of the few in titutions offering a program of exceptional education. The la tter trains teacher of the deaf and hard of h earing, mentally retarded and those needing peech correction.

Ad a ntageou to the elementary education program i the maintenance of a laboratory school.

Th e campu elementary chool includes a nur ery, two kindergarten , and eight grades headed by a taff of exp rienced t acher . A new building, the Campu Elem ntary chool ha been contructed to accommodate teacher education and ob ervation.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR AT INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA "IN recognition of your many outstanding years of service to the children of our community, the Junior Civic Wom en's Club of Indiana, Pennsylvania, d'o es hereby bestow upon you the title of <The Outstanding T eacher of the Y ear.' Your whole life has exemplified all the inspirational qualities w hich typify a teach er; the community of Indiana is grateful that you passed its way.

Presented to Gertrude H. Walker 1958 in connection with American Education'Week.~'

MRS. T. EDGAR WALl{ER

This citation was presented at a dinner given in honor of Gertrude Hawkins W alker (Mrs. T. Edgar) AI', who was named Indian a, Pennsylvania's "T eacher of the Year" by the Junior Women's Civic Club.

For the past twenty-eight years, approximately 1,700 Horace M a nn kindergarten school children have been greeted every school morning between 8: 15 and 8 :30 by Mrs. Walker's cheery "Good morning" and bright smile.

Mrs. Walker b egan the kindergarten a t K eith School in 1921 , the M t. Lebanon Kindergarten in 1926, and the Horace M a nn Kindergarten in 1930. She h as been instrumental in starting and guiding kindergarten classes in other school area systems.

As a supervising teach er in kindergarten, G ertrude Walker has student teachers from Indiana (Pennsylvania ) State T eachers College.

Mrs. Walker was born in D elhi, N ew York, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. George W . Hawkins.

She attended Delaware Academy in New York , Cortland State T eachers College, and received h er

Bachelor of Science in Education at Indiana Pennsylvania Sta te T eachers College. She has' done graduate work At the N a tional College of Education and the Univer ity of Pi tt burgh.

T eaching her fi rst yea r of kinderga rten at Binghamton, New York, she then taught one yea r a t Oberlin Kindergarten in Ohio before going to K eith School in Indiana Gertrude Walker has always ta ught kinderga rten, and she feels, "They a re not a group of children to me. Each child is an individu al, a nd, nine times out of ten, the way a child sta rts scholastically is the way he will go throughout life in aJl his activities. " She remembers her former tuden ts wi th amazing ease a nd is very interested in their careers and lives. As a teacher she is a fine example of her philosophy : "T eaching is the most ch allenging, exciting, and rewarding career tha t a nyone might follow."

While Gertrude H awkins W alker was a student a t Indiana (Penn ylvania) State T eachers College, she became a member of Alph a Gamma C hapter of Alpha Sigma Al pha. She is a cha rter member of the Indiana Alumnae C hapter. F or ma ny yea rs, M rs. Walker was a patroness of Alph a Gamma Cha pter. L ast year she had to resign as pa troness beca use of h er heavy work schedule.

Several years ago during a sabba tical leave of Dr. J oy M ahachek, adviser of Alpha Gamma, Gertrude was acting adviser of the cha pter.

M rs. Wa lker's in ter ts are not limited to her kindergarten children and her sorority as she is a very active member of the fo llowing organizations: First Presbyteria n C hu rch, National Education Association, Pennsylvania Education As ociation, Indiana Borough T eacher Association (past president ), Associa tion of C hildhood Education, Association of Studen t T eaching, D elta K a ppa Gamma, Indiana Coun ty M ental H ealth Association Hospital Auxiliary, Chapter C-P.E.O . Si terhood (past president), D .A.R . (regent at present time), Historica l and Geneological Society, and the Order of Eastern Sta r.

Since the death of her husband, Ger trude h as lived with her mother, M rs. George W . H awkins, a t 652 School Street in India na. She collects a ntique glassware and hopes someday, maybe after retirement, to write books or stories, bu t at the present time her main interest (and hobby) is boys and girls and kinderga rten education.

MeiDorial Garden Presented to Longwood College "How VERY fortun ate, fifty- even years ago, five young girls decided to join together in unity with a common purpose. On that strong foundation, built on basic ideals, our heritage ha been strengthened and continued through the year . We are grateful to those girl for giving u a nobleness of purpose."

With these word Mr . Robert C. Grady, national president, once again called to mind that memorable day, November 15, 1901, when on the campus of State Normal School, now Longwood College, Alpha Sigma Alpha was found ed. The highlight of Alpha Chapter's Founders' Day obcrvance on November 21 was the presentation of the Memorial Garden to Longwood College. The Garden is to be located in front of the newly completed senior dormitory.

Guest at the Founder ' Dinner, held in the College Tea Room, were welcomed by Ernestin toltz, pre ident of Alpha Chapter. Honored guests w re Mrs. Robert C. Grady, national president; Mrs. Edna Elcan Jones, first national president of

Alpha Sigma Alpha; Dr. Franci G. Lankford, president of Longwood College, and Mrs. Lankford; Mi Ruth Wilson, dean of women; Mrs. R . W. Catlin, president of the Farmville Alumnae A sociation ; and Alpha Chapter patrons, Mr. and Mrs. A. Ray M rchent and Mr. Jacob H. Warn ley.

Following th e pre-Thank giving dinner, the pre entation of the M emorial Garden was made

by Mrs. Grady. In her presentation speech, "Let Us Be Builders and Planters" Mrs. Grady quoted a poem written by Dorothy Brown Thompson.

To plant a tree.' How sm all the twia, And I beside it-very big.

A few years pass: and now the tree Looks do zt' n on very little me.

A few years m ore-it is so high It s bran ches eem to touch the sky.

I did not know that it w ould be So vast a thing to jJlant a tree.'

Gift for Chapel Fund Then Mrs. Grady presented to Dr. La nkford a ' spray of evergreen composed of each type of shrub to be pla nted in the garden. It was tied with the traditional red and white ribbons.

"In beh alf of Alpha Sigma Alpha, we dedicate this M emorial Garden to the Founders of our sorority, Louise Burks Cox (Mrs. W. B. Carper ), Juliette J efferson Hundley (Mrs. H . E. Gillium ), Mary Williamson Hundley, Virginia L ee Boyd (Mrs. John Walton Noell) , and Calva H amlet Watson (Mrs. P. W . Wootton ) . W e would also rededicate our lives in meaning and purpose to the service of others. W e present this LIVING memorial to Dr. Francis G . Lankford, presiden t o f Longwood C ollege, with the hope that it may symbolize th e desire of Alpha Sigma Alpha to live up to its heritage and the h eritage of Lon ow ood College.

At Miami University Miami University's Sesq uicentennia l Cha pel Fund has bee n brought $100 nearer its goal by a gift from th e na tional orga nization of Alpha Sigma Alpha through its Alph a Al pha Cha pter. M r.

John D. Mill ett, presiden t of Miam i U ni ver ity, accepted th e gift from the soror ity.

The don a tion was not designa ted for any sp cific use in the cha pel, which alrea dy is und er con truction, a lthough the fund drive is sti ll u nder way. Miami hopes to dedicate the chapel at the June commencement of it. sesq ui cent nni al yea r 1959.

"Le t us strive to a ttain only the highest by seeking worthwhil e ways in which to serve others and by aspiring to do the will of God. Let us work together to build a better future for all through service and education. By pla ntina in the aarden of life shrubs of loyalty unselfi shness, and generosity the foli age will grow and wax strong.

As a plant grows from sun hine and rain, we can grow by acquiring wisdom and knowledge a nd through spiritual guidance."

In accepting the M emoria l Garden, D r. La nkford stressed that one of the most important a nd significant aspects of sorority life is each individual's personal gain of a sense of loyalty, not only to her sorority, but one that will extend to the

K eep up the perfect work! All of us are extremely proud of you .

Before closing I would like to salute three of our chapters and bring to your attention their high group scholarship.

Alpha Beta Chapter ranks fir t in scholarship among the four sororities on the Northeast Missouri Teacher College campus for the second consecutive year. During the 195 7-1958 chool year two member made straight A's, and fifteen members were on the Dean' List. Too they won the Sports Trophy. Kathy Bowles was Echo Queen for the Spring Formal. Angie Wilson was elected president of Student National Education Association, Martha Cokerham wa elected president of Women ' Athletic Association, and Judy Durham was elected co-captain of Cheerleaders. Also, Fran Kinsella and Jean Newport were selected as dorm counselors.

Beta Beta Chapter of Colorado State College also ranks first in scholarship among the even sororities on campus for the second consecutive year. With fifty-seven members in the chapter, there were six who achieved straight A averages.

Forty-six held member hip in honor societies and fraternities, and four members were named to Who's Who in American Univ ersities and Colleges.

The major and minor offices these girls held on campus are too numerous to mention.

Beta Iota Chapter of Radford College ha the unique honor of h aving won the Scholarship Cup for four consecutive years. Of their fortyeight members, ten made straight A's, and twenty-four achieved Dean's List rank. Seven members are in honor societies and fraternities, a nd five of the twelve seniors named to Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges were Beta Iota Alpha Sigs. Again the campus offices held by these girls are too numerous for this pace, but rest a sured they have leadership in abundance.

I wish to thank all of the chapter scholarship chairmen for the reports they so painstakingly fill in and send to me. Without their cooperation I could not give credit where credit is du e, and this article would not be po sible.- GAIL DrxoN DICKSON , National Scholarship Chairman.

A SUMMER IN SWITZERLAND Bv

MARCIA SMITH,

TrnRTY young people and their parent sat at a meeting in a New York hotel one night last June. The young people were the last of many other to ail for Europe that summer under the guidance of the Experiment in International Living. Under this program each would become a member of a family in the country of his choice.

Of the e thirty people, ten were girls with whom I wou ld become clo e friends a nd share a wonderfu l ummer in Switzerland. They were Barbara our leader, a teacher from Missouri ; and the ten students, R a ndy and Alice from Cali-

Beta Psi

The nine days on ship board passed quickly.

They were filled with language classes, concerts, lectures, informal meetings of our group, and lazing with the other six hundred students on board . We ·thirty, three groups of ten, were the only Experimenters on this ship.

Our enthusiasm in landing at Rotterdam, Holland, knew no bounds even though there was a dense fog. We spent the afternoon sightseeing in the city a nd the next morning took the train to Switzerla nd. We wer consta ntly watching out of the window a nd watc hing the people on the train ; we cou ldn't sec enough!

We soon discovered that Swis train and depots far surpassed anything American in their cleanness a nd neatness. In fact, these two adj ectives a re the shortest description of the whole country, including the picture post-card la ndscapes.

K usNACH T

I lived in Kusnacht, about a half an hour down the lake from Zurich, with the Rudolf family.

There were H elmie, my father; Annamarie, my mother; Barbara, my four-year-old a nd very lively sister; and Annamari 's par nts, Mr. and Mrs. Stuckelberg. Zurich is in the German section of Switzerland, but the language spoken is a SwissGerman dialect. This was bewildering at first because it bore not the slightest resemblance to the high German we had tudied on the boat. Fortunately, H elmie, Annamarie, my grandmother, and I a ll knew French, and since H elmie and Annamarie had lived for a short time in the United State , they also spoke English. Thus our communication barrier was not o great as in some of the other families. I never ould speak well with Barba ra or my grandfath r because they knew neither French nor Engli h. By the end of the ummer the Swiss-German phrases I had learned a nd the French I spoke with my grandmother had become uch a natural part of me that I still u e them un on c i ou ~ ly today.

Our home contai ned three apartments, one of which was rented out. It wa in an average residential eli trict with hou e fairly close on either ide, but I never f It the closene s because of the beautiful gard ns which afforded each home

a beautiful, completely private park. Swiss gardens with ever-present flowers are one of their well-deserved prides.

Helmie was an attorney in Zurich, leaving early in the morning and coming back at night like most American fathers. On an average day, Annamarie and I would finish the breakfast dishes, have some time to ourselves, go shopping for the daily produce, eat lunch, generally have the afternoon free, eat dinner, and have the evening free.

Of course, these free periods were not always free; Barbara needed attention. Annamarie and I would go to Zurich to an art show, shopping or sightseeing; she had sewing, preserving (we spent a whole day making jam), gardening, and other household tasks. I watched her cook and wrote down the recipes, for most of the food was delicious. On Saturday or Sunday the whole family would take an excursion- swimming, picnicking or driving to a near-by spot of interest such as the baroque ca路thedral across the lake.

A HosTELING TouR After a little more than a week in our homes, we ten Americans, with ten Swiss young people and two leaders, started on a hosteling tour of the country. My cousin, Hanni, went with me.

We traveled by every means (train, bus, boat, and foot) and stayed in all sorts of places from primitive to very pleasant. Our trip lasted nineteen days and took us completely around Switzerland, even leaving three days to spend on Lake Como in Italy. We traveled in three or fourday spurts, arriving at a youth hostel and staying there while we made side trips. Mostly we walked, and in the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, stopping to eat our picnic lunch on a flower covered meadow beside a rushing stream, or in a pine forest, or on the top of a mountain which we had climbed . There is a great variation in this small space from smooth farmland to snow covered mountains, pine trees, palm trees, and beautiful lakes. The best part of our trip, and indeed of the whole summer, was that we really saw the country and came to know the people. We did not receive any fals e tourist impressions. I would not trade what I learned for anything in the world.

Once back with our families, we met for parties and dances, informally, or as a meeting to vlSlt a chocolate factory or a lace making region. The time went so fast that when the summer was over, it seemed as if it had passed in a day. It was terrible to think of leaving, but three weeks after this, our boat would sail. Some of us even switched to a later boat so that we could stay

On a hike near Visp, Switzerland.

longer. On the very last day I walked in Zurich and thought about the family and the country I h ad come to love and looked and looked so that I wou ld not forget any detail of my home.

AN AMERICAN PARTY There were farewell parties. The first one was held at a n outdoor restaurant in Zurich, and as our luck would h ave it, one of the quick Lake Zurich storms came up and rained us out of our meal, but we laughed and enjoyed it ; this is another reason I was glad to be an Experimenter.

As I wrote in my diary, "We make fun out of everything." The last party was an outdoor barbecue, and again it rained. Luckily, the weather during our camping trip had been perfect. At this last party the America ns served a n American menu: corn on the cob, hamburgers, potato chips, coffee, relishes, a nd ice cream. It was a tremendous success like everything we did together.

All of us had free travel time before the boat sailed, and Dotty, Randy, Nancy, Susan, and I went to Pari and Brussels. The n, all too oon, we were on the boat home again with time to relax and think about our marvelous summer.

Entry into New York Harbor was tearful for most of us ; we were both sad and happy. Once on land the magic summer was over, and we rushed to school for registration and classes. When we fall silent during these busy days, it is a good guess that something (and these things are many ) has reminded us of our summer and Swiss friends- memories which we shall hold the rest of our lives.
