THE ANCHOR OF ALPHA SIGMA TAU

Think on These Things

BULLETIN prepared by the Tational President, is sent each month to 路National Board members and to chapter officers. On the first page the president has always placed inspirational verses for use in chapter devotions. Last year faculty advisers were asked to write the message for the first pages of the bulletin based on the " Whatsoever" lines of our initiation services. Extracts from these articles are being copied for THE ANCHOR so that members not in organized chapters may have the privilege of reading them. In the June ANCHOR the complete message by Miss Edith Glatfelter was printed . .

.. " Whatsoeve r Things Are True," Dr. Margaret Ouayle, Sigma

Sometimes when we talk about truth, the very abstractness of the word seems to remove it miles and miles from us, or its austerity frightens us. So let us select a very real, concrete, and useful fact about life around and within us, and try to think of it as it works itself out in our actions, feelings, and attitudes. T he one I would suggest is a truth we frequently fail to consider and thi s fai lure may account for some of our confusions and frustration s. Things, people, and situations we encounter in life are made up of good, bad, and indifferent elements. When we "see life steadily and see it whole, " we must recognize that these different factors are present always and in all things. We must tmin ourselves to see things as they are. That is facing the truth about li fe and it alone will bring us freedom . Only one who is emotionally a child thinks in ali-or-none terms; a matured adult sees the contradictory elements present in each situation. Therefore the matured adult is not caught unawares when some undesirable factor makes itself known and she also can hardly be disillusioned because she has faced the truth which involves the good, the bad, and the indifferent. Knowing they are all there prepares her for dealing adequately with them. When one sees only a segment of reality, as the good or the bad, she is dealing dangerously with a part-truth, and confusion and bewilderment are likely to follow. N on-allness, then, is an attitude which keeps us on the Middle Way, the road to truth. Things are never either-or but both-and, so if we are ever to reach desired freedom , this truth must be kept clearly, consistently, and hopefully in mind.

THE AN CHOR

"Whatsoever Things Are Honest," Mrs. Wanda Crawford Bates, Alpha "The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find that all human virtues increase and strength en themselves by the practice and experiences of themselves."-Socrates

Human society cannot exist without mutual confidence-as members of Alpha Sigma Tau it is our privilege to be a part of an organization wherein such trust exists. As we take the vows of sisterhood, we assume a personal responsibility that this mutual assurance of friendship and integrity shall continue among us. Someone has said, " It is impossible that any one person can know all the world, but quite possible that one may know himself. " This ' Knowing of ourselves' is part of our contribution to successful living and it involves the development of a standard of honesty for ourselves that is unquestionable . . . .

"Whatsoever Things Are Pure, " Mrs. Alma Gasslander, Delta The dictionary gives five different kinds of meanings for pure: one, free from defilement ; two, unmixed, innocent , guileless ; three, genuine, real , perfect ; four, simple ; five , abstract. I like to think of the third meaning and to read our verse, " Whatsoever things are genuine. " If we as Alpha Sigma Taus apply this genuineness to our living, and to our contacts with our sisters we are true to ourselves .... In these days when mass hysteria hangs on the fringe of our lives, when fears surround us, when all have serious problems t0 face , let us as Alpha Sigma Taus face life squarely, seeing reality with a pure vision ... realizing that we as sorority girls must be the leaders in our communities. Only when we hear 路our friends say how real and genuine are the girls of Alpha Sigma Tau can we feel that we are approaching that perfection for which we all strive. Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King ... Else, wherefore born?- Tennyson

"Whatsoever Things Are Just ," Miss Frances Martin, Beta "I want it . . . give it to me"-demands the three-year-old . "It's mine . .. leave it alone"-shouts the four-year-old . "Give me my share"-screams the five-year-old. " She hit me first"-sobs the child of six. "I had perfect right to it"-says the child of ten . "She didn 't mean it that way"-says the college girl. " It's all right .. . you didn't understand"-comforts the mother. "It's my fault really because I co uld have warned you"- smiles the grandmother.

As we go along through life we change our ideas of Justice. We move from the childish level of selfish grabbing of what we want, through the " eye-for-an-eye" stage towards the level of basing all decisions on understanding, sympathy and love. This is a part of growing up--of becoming an adult. If an individual fai ls to grow up in his understanding and practice of " Just ice" he is warped and is bound to hurt those about him . Nations must grow up also. At present our world is operating on the

THE ANCHOR

childish level. But there are many hopeful indications that we are beginning to think of another level of just-living. After this war we must make peace. If this peace is based upon understanding, sympathy and love then it will endure. If it is based upon retribution then it will be but a brief armistice . . . . We have not concerned ourselves about the inequalities in the standards of living in our own land, to say nothing of our blindness about conditions in other countries .... God grant that our leaders be given a vision of what a world society based upon Christian Justice may be and that each of us in his personal living may do his part to build a peace which will endure.

"Whatsoever Things Are Lovely," Dr. Edna Bottorf, Zeta A stately building, a graceful figure, or a simple tree; The flowing line of a beautiful sta tue, of a piece of pottery, of a moving figure, or of a crack in the wall; The soft play of color in a beautiful painting, in a faded brick wall, or in a plowed field in spring; The grain of a piece of wood, the flight of a bird- or of an airplane; A beautiful piece of music, the call of a bird , a pleasant voice, th e flutter of leaves; A piece of poetry, a rhythmic phrase, a pleasant voice; Something soft-or smooth ; The look in a child's eyes; A kind deed or merely a gracious gesture ; A cordial greeting, a firm clasp of the hand, or a friendly smile.

Today more than ever we need the assurance, the relaxation and the warming comfort of " lovely" things. Our thoughts, our actions, and in some cases our surroundings have to do with those things which are not at all pleasurable, perhaps even horrible. Those who can find something of beauty, something lovely in the midst of this confusion will not collapse but will come through the experience mentally and spiritually stronger. Lovely things are present everywhere. Too often we allow ourselves to become so absorbed in the disturbing elements about us that we fail to see the lovely ones even when they are very evident. Too often we expect loveliness to show itself in some outstanding concrete form or shape not realizing that it is present in the simple and ordinary things or in momentary or passing expressions or thoughts. Sororities have always offered the opportunity to its members of taking part in or becoming a part of many lovely associations, attitudes, and experiences. Cherish these thinas. Do not pass them by. In distress and disaster they can provide a real source of strength. In security and happiness they can make life a truly marvelous experience ..

"Whatsoever Things Are of Good Report," Dr. Gertha Williams, Theta Whatsoever things are of good report ... think on these things. The word "report " has many meanings but perhaps in the sense of " reputation" it is the most challenging to our thinking. As individual sorority members and as a sorority group what kind of a reputation do we have

THE ANCHOR

on our several college campuses? Or better still, what kind of reputation do we merit? As sorority members we are a privileged group, especially chosen by a group that was itself especially chosen right on back to the beginning of A. S. T. Our sorority membership gives us special privileges of close companionship, friendship, understanding. Perhaps we have a sorority house or sorority rooms attractively and comfortably furnished and providing a place to meet, to study, to chat. Special privileges always bring with them special responsibilities and as our privileges are exceptional , so are our responsibilities. This is especially true in these days of national emergency when we, as a nation, are fighting to preserve the democratic ideals for which we, as a nation, stand. How can a sorority justify its existence as an especially privileged group in a democratic society? Only, it seems to me, by rendering service of a very high order to that society of which it is a part. This service, to be commensurate with our responsibilities as an especially privileged group, must be an unselfish service, a service not for personal or even sorority " glory, " but for the greater good of the larger group. Since we are organized on college campuses, most of that service will be rendered to the college of which we are a part. What is fundamental to our rendering of that service which the college has a right to expect of us? First. ... The administration of the chapter must run so smoothly that it requires a minimum of time and energy of members, for if the spare time and energy of members is absorbed in the mere mechanics of operation, obviously they have no time nor energy left for their larger responsibilities. Secondly, the local chapter must be able to plan programs for meetings and activities which promote the growth of its members . . . . And finally , if our time and energy are not absorbed by the mere mechanics of sorority business, and if our initiative, our ability to meet responsibilities, our skill in making rich use of local resources has been adequately developed by a well-planned program of chapter activities, then , and only then, will we have worthwhile contributions to make to the college community ... . Our enthusiasm for our democratic ideals would be its own reward, together with the satisfaction which would come from helping to make concrete in our own college community those ideals which are our rich heritage as citizens of this democracy. I ask you to " think on these things. "

"If There Be Any Virtue, and If There Be Any Praise, Think On These Things," Miss Edith Glatfelter, Pi It is almost impossible to foresee in what way any given environment is going to shape or mould a complex and marvelous human soul. Very different personalities, of course, come from the same home, and not all children born in log houses are Lincolns. Nor are all the dwellers in crowded and dreary city streets, gangsters and illiterates. Emerson has it in the mud and slime of things, there's always something somehow sings '; and one knows that often love, or the fragile charm of some gentle soul furnishes sweeter comradeship than material comforts can produce.

THE ANCHOR

The assumption of responsibility for w hat one makes of her life, is certainly THE DUTY OF EVERY SORORITY GIRL. "'Ye are the Salt of the Earth,' to sweeten it," said Henry Van Dyke to the graduates at a University of Chicago Convocation. And we must accept this challenge. Noblesse Oblige! The beautiful "Whatsoevers" in our ritual ending in the austere injunction " think on these things" build into the ceremonial tremendous solemnity and dignity. "If there be any virtue and if there be any praise''- now and here, these are what we must think about. And under this high command, thoughts flow in upon us of great virtue we know- hero soldiers and sailors and airmen ; the common man and our great men and women, too : Madame Chiang Kai-shek- Winston Churchill- the great musicians- the little children. In spite of War's horrors the world is full of " virtue" and demands our "praise. "

NEWS AGE CY DoROTHY RrscH , Chai1路man Davidsville, Pa. The National ews Agency wishes to have 100% cooperation from the members of the sorority throughout the land in making the agency a paying enterprise this year. All that each of us has to do to earn the <>orority scads of money, is send in magazine subscriptions. Our aim should be " One annual subscription from every Alpha Sigma Tau. " So, Sisters, send in those subscriptions! To help us get out Christmas orders promptly and efficiently, do not send in any Christmas orders aft er D ecemb er 1.

By having collegiate chapter treasurers send monthly reports to the Central Office. These reports were merely copies of the monthly pages of the ledger and so meant very little extra work for treasurers. The semester treasurers' reports were also sent to the Central Office. The auditing of the monthly and semester reports was of inestimable value in bringina members into good standing.

EFFICIENCY A calendar is sent out each year from the Central Office giving a chart of the sorority's activities and the dates upon which reports and letters are due. The collegiate chapter president is responsible for more points of her chapter's efficiency than any other member of the chapter. As explained in the Handbook, she sends to the Central Office 8 monthly letters, 3 reports, 2 budget sheets, 2 calendars and a set of officers' reports, a total of 16 items. If all are sent on time the president would earn 32 points for her chapter. The treasurer sends all pledges and initiation fees to the National Treasurer as well as semester dues and Life Membership payments. She sends contributions to the Loan Fund chairman ; monthly and semester reports to the Central Office. If all are sent promptly, the treasurer receives 32 points. Only 24 are counted this year. The editor sends contributions to three editions of THE ANCHOR. The National Editor gives points for contributions based on promptness and content. The vice-president is responsible for sending scholastic grades to the Awards Chairman each year. The pledge chairman sends names and addresses of pledges' parents to the National Secretary. She also sends pledge examinations to the Examinations Chairman. The historian and music chairman each send re. pective reports to N ationa! Chairmen. This year Flint Alumnre Chapter wins the efficiency award for alumnre chapters, having a perfect score of 29. The perfect score for collegiate chapters was 73. Iota and Omicron with 71 points have the highest scores. The presidents of Theta, Iota, Omicron, Pi, and Chi had 32 points, the top rating for that office. COLLEGIATE CHAPTER EFfiCIENCY REPORT

THE REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN-CHAPLAIN ELLEN SMITH

A form letter was written to all of the alumnre representatives a king that they collect what information that they could regarding Alpha Sigma Taus in their chapter who have died . There has not as yet been any response to this appeal. The directions for writing the histories were written up fo r the new Handbook. In quantity, the histories received were very disappointing, since reports were received only from Delta, Omicron, Iota, Welch, Johnstown , Bluefield, Flint, Theta, Williamsport, Pi, Lansing, and Sigma. In quality, they were very encouraging, since the form of all of these was good. These histories were acknowledged and filed. THE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATION SORORITIES REPRESENTATIVE EDITH

MANSELL

The usual correspondence connected with this office was carried on; i. e., granting of requests for irregular initiations, interpreting Association of Education Sororities constitutional rulings, and so on. In March 1943 a letter was sent to each local Panhellenic asking for informa.tion in regard to any problems created by the war; such as, decreased enrollments, accelerated programs, and military programs. Suggestions for subjects to be discussed at the Association of Education Sororities conference were also called for. Letters in regard to the above question s were also sent to the deans of women in every college where there are Association of Education Sororities chapters. In April a business conference of the Association of Education Sororities Council was held in Chicago. Alpha Sigma Tau had four members present: Mrs. Staehle, Mrs. Fraser, president of the first district ; Mrs. Perrine, music chairman ; and I. Cooperation in the backing of war work and the furthering of war projects by all groups was stressed; recommendations to chapters included a shortened rush season and inexpensive social affairs. The only addition to the Association of Education Sororities Roll this year was Macomb, Illinois, where Alpha Sigma Alpha and Pi Kappa Sigma installed chapters. Because of the decreased enrollments several groups have had to abandon chapters, but Alpha Sigma Tau has been very fortunate in that respect.

REPORT OF THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE MARY ALICE PETERSON

Guided by the suggestions of the National Board given at the Detroit meeting in August, 1942 , I made out the Program Study Outline for the year, basing it on the theme of spi ritual development- the ~uilding of a satisfying and sustaining philosophy of life- and using inspinng books as the medium through which helpful understanding might be secured in such development. A copy of the outline was sent to each collegiate program chairman and to each faculty adviser. Early in the fall I wrote letters to each collegiate chapter asking for the name and address of the program chairman . I also wrote to each faculty adviser, soliciting her help in making the programs a success. I received replies from all but one or two of the chapters, and then I wrote to the program chairmen, urging them to contact their faculty advisers and offering to help in any way I could. During the second semester I again wrote to each collegiate program chairman, asking for a brief report of their program work. Only five chapters responded; most of them had found time for only one or two programs. I met with the program chairman, the president, and the faculty adviser of Iota C~apter and helped make a schedule of definite dates and ~ peakers for the monthly programs. We selected faculty members, alumnc.e, and patronesses to present the programs. I presented two of the programs for the chapter and was a guest at several other program meeting . I feel that more chapters are becoming "program conscious" and that slowly progress is being made, but that much more missionary work must be done before our National Program Study becomes an effective and contributing factor in our national work. At Mrs. Staehle's request I wrote a " Message fo r Graduates" based on our program study for the year.

REPORT OF THE MUSIC COMMITTEE SARAH PERRINE, Chairman The following songs were received during the year: 1. A Tribute to Alpha Sigma Tau .. . ........... . ......

The Alpha Sig Polka . . .. .... . ..... . .. ....... . ..... Theta Chapter Words by Elsey Maye, Noreen Coman, Clarice Borganson. Tune "The Beer Barrel Polka." Received in July. REPORT OF NEWS AGENCY DoROTHY RISCH, Chairman The year 1942-43 has not proved as successful as we might wish. We believe that the reason for the lack of orders is simply that the sorority is not conscious of the project. Plans are being made to bring it to the minds of all members, . and the agency asks the cooperation of all. The following figures show just what we have done: Commissions on magazine subscriptions sold- $15.50. Expenditures for money orders, mailing receipts, cards, etc.- $1.88. Total amount earned $13 .62. THE REPORT OF THE LIFE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Because of several changes of residence caused by Lt. Barrett's army status, Mrs. Barrett found it necessary to resign as Life Membership Chairman. The new chairman, Mrs. Ester Griffith of Emporia, Kansas, has not been able to compile the annual report for this season. THE REPORT OF THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS COMMITTEE BETTY MAISCH, Chairman This report will be printed in the December ANCHOR.
