Therefore I can not adequately express my joy in finding Phylis Gouker of Alpha Alpha, and Pearl Parker of Beta, at the North American Student Conference on Christian Frontiers held during the C hristma vacation at Lawrence, Kansas. We became fast friends not only becau e of the common denominator of Christianity which the conference gave us, but also the fact that we were sisters before we knew each other.

Our meeting was so unique- the three of us finding each other out of a delegation of two thousand- ! shall tell it to you: My sorority pin was the instigator.

you admire yourself if you were

W someone else? If you can' t admire your-

self, who else in the world is going to? Perhaps " admiration" should be replaced by self approval. I do not mean by this that you should look in the mirror all day long and think how beautiful your are or that you can do no wrong. My conception of admiration is the ideal of the successful, important, attractive and charming woman you can be. Many women feel they do not have these assets, yet if one would go into their private lives one could see where they all have these four ideals to some extent.

Success? How do we measure success? Personally I feel that one has attained success if they have acquired the love of their family , friends, if they have attained some type of recognition in their profession, business or community.

Importance? You do not have to be a world figure to be important. You are one of the most important women you know. Did you realize that? Not because you are important

to the world, but because you have full control of the actions of your life-it i for you to choose your de tiny in thi world. You control your well being, your thought, your appearance, and mold your life.

Attractiveness? Today we mea ure attractivene by vitality of manner, accomplishment in some field- housekeeping or professional- of endeavor and enthusia m in work or play. We judge a person attractive if she is plea ing to look at, to talk with, and to be near. When there are no jarring notes in your appearance or manner, you are deemed attractive.

Charm? C harm is grace, moothne and rhythm. It is also an inner strength which controls your impulses. To be charming mean to know what to do and how to do it, and then to do it graciously with no self-consciousness. ever wish to be someone else; learn how to make the most of yourself. Be yourselfthe best self you are capable of being.

Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know . . . . It is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all- by example.

HE fall meeting of the Student Government Association of We t Virginia Colleges wa held December 12 , and December 13, 1947 at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckannon. The first session was held 8:00 A.M . Friday morning. Thi s meeting was for the purpose of organization. At this time the President Pro Tempore, Joe Hungate, Jr., presided , he a king that each of the seven colleges represented introduce themselves. The colleges being represented by two or more members were Davis and Elkins, Concord, Fairmont State, Gienville State, West Vi rginia Univer ity, Wesleyan and Shepherd . Following the introductions, Dr. Oli ver Ikenberry, President of Shepherd College and adviser of the Student Government Association, gave a report as to functions and the operation of this organization in the past years. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to the beginning of the revision of the constitution for West Virginia Federation of College Students and plans for the next day's activities.

At the second session the revision of the constitution was fini shed and student problems in the different colleges were discussed. Items of general interest were also presented by the member colleges which proved very valuable to everyone. The exchange of ideas was especially beneficial to the representatives prese:1t as the ideas will improve student projects and student government. A most interesting talk and report was given by Mr. H. L. Baker of North Carolina on the National Student Association and the International Union of Students. He gave reports on the various meetings which have been held in past years.

Acco rding to undisputedly reliable sources (namely H elen Auburn, E lizabeth Wilson, and Bern Pace) there is only one place worthy of your consideration . It's Mexico !

First of all , it's forei gn, yet you don 't have to worry about the language. No- your two years of high school Spanish won' t make you feel like a native, but it will give you a thrill to catch a word now and then. Happily most everyone in Mexico speaks Engli sh- sort of.

Well when Bern asked, "Any mail for Pace? " the clerk answered quickly, " Dining room on top fl oor. " And when Helen Auburn asked a boy if he spoke Engl ish and he answered, " Si, senorita," she asked him to send up some coat hangers and a bottle of ink . The order,

buses before they venture on the streets.

If any well-meaning friend warns you against the food in Mexico- just refer her to some of our Mexico-conditioned Alpha Sigs.

They will tell you with stars in their eyes of the wonderful , daringly uninhibited Mexican cuisine. They 'll reminisce longingly over the wonderful eating places that dot the countryside and urge you specifically to try the Maria Christine (a small hotel) , the Fonda Santa Anita on Avenida Juarez, the Tampico Club, the El Patio for night life or the famou s Cadillac Bar, all of which are in Mexico City .

If you uddenly crave a wonderful American hamburger, you can find that, too, at either " Hamburger Heaven" or " Oscars. " The one weak spot in the Mexican menu is the lack of a luscious dessert. Most times they give you a pallid sherbet or a dish of stewed fruit that leaves you dreaming of a good old U.S.A. concoction. So when you yearn for something gooey, something sweet, something laden with slow-flowing sauce (heaven help your figure), then go to Sanborn's better known as the " House of Tiles." It's operated by Walgreen's and serves North American desserts in true Mexican style with costumed waitresses and all the trimmings.

Speaking of music . .. there lies part of the charm of colorful Mexico. There i mu ic everywhere. The pleasant melodi ous strain s float up from the street from early mornin g when the street mus1c1ans set up their marimbas, and guitarists begin to ply their trade.

Since Mexico has a varied climate depending on the altitude, you will need two kind of clothes- coat and suits for the cool evening temperature of Mexico City and li ht cottons for the lower altitude town . The average temperature of Mexico City i 70째 and it isn't unusual to see fur coat in the evening. Don't forget a warm flannel robe and bring enough clothe to ee you through - prices are high in Mexico.

Carry your money in Traveler's Check .

You can cash them at the bank , where, incidentally, you get the best rate of exchange ($4.80 to $4.85 Mexican dollar for one U .. dollar). You 'll soon learn about money Bern will tell you. The sharpie are always ready to give you two Mexican nickel fo r a dime (you should get four).

Go, prepared to have fun- in a colorful country that puts off work and worry til " Manana. "

wish of everyone in the world is T security, whether they realize it or not.

The question arises, can one be secure without HE

money?

In the play, " Major Barbara," Andrew Undershaft believed every man must be rich because poverty is the evil of all evils. To be poor is to be ignorant, unintelligent, underprivileged, practically every unworthy characteristic of life. Undershaft also believed that to be happy, secure, and powerful in life, one must have money.

As a contradiction to Undershaft, Henry David Thoreau, in hi s story of "The Walden Experiment," says that happiness is the chief pretense of civilization. The man in his 路story

- it was Thoreau himself- lived for two years on sixty-two dollars!

Three things are essential to life--bread, work and love . Man must have work to avoid boredom. He must have bread for existence of life, and every human mu t have love. Of the three necessitie , bread is the only one that costs money. But work will supply the bread, and if one has love, he can work. o really, money is not essential in life.

Happiness doe not cost, but money doe .

Which is better, to be happy and contended or rich and prosperous? It would be wonderful to be both, but happines hould come first.

of the world knows that communism

crisis a communist leader discovers a " plot" against the government ) nvolving non-communist leaders. With the communi t policemen they capture government offices and the radio stations, and put a ban on immigrati on.

With these weapons the communist party can easily win a majority in any election held.

C ommunist forces are now at work undermining the governments of China, France, and Italy. Their weapons are plots and force.

What are democracy's defenses? The only proposed defense in the United States is the Marshall Plan. Will it be sufficient? Will it be put into effect in time to stem the rising tide of communism in the world today?

M is more or less a religion to its followers.

The activities of a minority communist party in Czechoslovakia during the last week of February displayed clearly their method for effecting and making it a one-party government. The method- an underground movement resulting in seizure of the government by force- is simple yet proven effective.

The first move is to infiltrate the country with communists, forming a minority communist party with a voice in the government.

The next step is to get communists or those favoring communism in the police force and army. This process is continued until there occurs a crisis in the government. During the

ENNJE SKOWDEN and I have just returned home from the Sixteenth Biennial Convocation of Kappa Delta Pi, held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, February 24 through February 26, 1948.

We were representatives of Alpha Chi Chapter, Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia. Appropriately enough, I stayed at the Madison Hotel.

The Convocation was opened by Miss Katherine Vickery First Vice-President due to the illness of Dr. T. C. McCracken, Executive President. The welcoming address was read for Dr. McCracken by Dr. Frank L. Wright of St. Louis, Missouri. The morning of the 24th was taken up with reports by the Executive Council, getting acquainted and dividing up into groups for the purpose of di scussing problems common to the local chapters.

One hundred fifty-six chapters were represented by one delegate and one or more alternates. Farmville State Teacher's College, Madison and William and Mary were represented from Virginia.

Dr. George S. Counts, author of I Want to B e Lik e Stalin and other books was the speaker for the afternoon. He spoke on Russian Foreign Policy. After the lecture, Dr. Gifford, dean of this college, introduced us to the speaker and Jennie and I got to talk to him during the tea.

Tuesday evening, Jennie and I attended a concert at Convention Hall on the Boardwalk given for the AASA (American Association of School Administrators). The concert was sung by about a thousand elementary and high school children under the baton of a Professor Emeritus of Columbia University.

Wednesday morning, the delegates were assigned to group discussion meetings. Here

we were able to talk over our probl ems a nd get ideas from all over the United Sta tes.

This was one of the mo t wor th-while meetings of the Convocation. Wedne day, a t the

luncheon, Mr. Wilson MacDonald of Canada read some of his poetry.

The formal banquet was held in the men can Room at the beautiful Traymore Hotel.

Mr. Howard E. Wilson, of the E CO Commission , gave the after-dinner addre .

Two of the banquet guests were member of the French Educational Council, Paris.

The Convocation adjourned Thur day afternoon and we returned to Madison Thursday night. It was the most wonderful experience ever. Both of us are so full of ideas that \ e can hardly wait to start them to work.

For it wa on this day in 1923 that eight girls journeyed up to Yp ilanti to become the chapter members of the Theta Chapter. The e eight gi rls: Janet Owen, Dorothy Dykstra, Katherine Guinnes , Glady Cathro, Helen Hilton, Margaret Walters, Carol MacKelcan, and Helen Juers, were initiated at the Mason ic Temple and entertained with a dinner at the Huron Hotel. Such was the beginning of the Theta Chapter.

THE ANCHOR entertained their fir t group of pledges at a Bridge Breakfast in the Women's Exchange.

Other events of the e first years were a Charity Bridge, a pot-luck supper given by Miss Mansell, and two delightful house parties in the summer homes of two of the members. One of the biggest events of Theta's early year was a Charity Dance, held at the BookCadillac Hotel, which was a tremendous success.

By this time, the Detroit Teachers College and the College of the City of Detroit had merged to become Wayne University. Theta Chapter also became a part of Wayne, and wa one of the two national sororities on campus. With such a successful beginning behind it, the chapter continued to grow and become an important part of the University.

A four-room apartment near school served the Theta members as a sorority house for many years, until in 1945 the housing shortage forced them to abandon it. Here the girls made their plans, and enjoyed all the benefits of Sorority. life. Through the years they estab-

15

lished many of the tradition s which are today the ba is of the chapter activiti s. Every year Alpha Sigma Tau holds an open house for all the fraternitie and sororities on campu , and Chri tma -time always find the Thetas preparing for its annual Christmas Party in honor of the pledges. A Mother's Day T ea every spring always affords the members a chance to get together and meet each other' mother.

The climax of every school year is the houseparty in mid-June , at which time all the members spend an enjoyable two weeks at one of the near-by cottages in Michigan.

This year, a before, the Theta Chapter has a full calendar of activitie , and the hi ghli ght of the year wi ll be our Founders' Day Banquet in M~y to commemorate our ilver Anni versary.

With twenty-five years of sorority activity behind them, every Theta, active and alumnre, looks 路forward to many, many more years of plea ant and worthwhil e activity for the Theta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau .

Optimijm By :lJotty Jjancey, UrJilon SO HAT is optimism? A straight definition of optimism is the inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and happenings, or anticipate the best possible outcome.

How can you develop an optimistic attitude? Most things of importance aren't especially easy to attain, so it is with learning to be an optimist. It is something you must work towards as you would any personal goal; it requires concentration, determination, will power, and self-control. Some people we call natural born optimists, maybe they are, but

W

anyone can be, if he works for it.

The doctrine of optimism teaches that the good of life overbalances the pai n and evil of it. This would be difficult to accept if you allow depression to dominate you, but facina life requires much personal effort and an open mind. A person with an unbiased attitude and a high spiritual character can accept defeat and disappointment and still remain happy and retain his vim for living.

Try concentrating on this and see if you don 't find living more worthwhile problem less important, and the future more enticina.

milling throng pushe and shove the well -policed entrance to the "Correo de Toros" ; an excited babble of voices increa es in vol um e every minute. Rich odor of succulent tamale , and the tantalizing smell of chili con carne rolled in tortilla drift past one's nose, accompanied by the hawki ng cries of the " vendadores. " From the gate, there comes the fiery music of the " Novillero" ; the bullfight i about to begin. The crowd surge forward , anory in its impatience to pass through the gate, o as not to mi ss one detail of the maonificent foray about to take place within.

At last everyone has found their seats, and just in time, for the great gate wing open, and with a grand fortissimo of trumpets, the procession begins. Gleaming hor e , groomed to perfection, and regaled with rich trappings of gold and red brocade, prance about, their nostrils quivering with nervousnes . In the center of the procession, a tall, splendid figure walks majestically, in time with the blood-stirring trains of music. He is followed by a company of magnificently dressed men, some on horseback, others on foot. s soon as he steps into the arena, a mighty roar swell s forth from the eager crowd. A far as the eye can see in the grandstands are countless brown faces, eyes shining, ten ely awaiting the contest to begin.

Now the great matador walks slowly around the arena, and bows low, in deference to the ladies seated in the boxes. He bows low again hi gorgeous cloak of gold and silk brocade a!HE

From the far side of the arena, a pecial oate open ; for a breathless moment nothing happens, and then , with a mighty snort, and a wagoer befitting it ferocity , "El Toro" himself cha rge into the arena, a cloud of du t for hi s retinu e. Hands clench and unclench ; tongue hurriedly pa over parched lip ; omewhere a tiny, weazened old " madre ' i clutchino her rosary, her lip muttering prayers known only to " dios" above.

From the ide of the arena, a " picador" ride forth on a dancing horse, and cha rgi ng within scant inches of the bull, throw the first " banderilla," the huge dart which serves to infuriate the oreat black demon. Blood purts forth; the bull tamp 路 the ground in hi fury, and glowerin g, look wildly about, thirsty for revenge.

A s cond banderilla plits the ten e air, and finding it mark, hangs, quivering in the torn fie h of the bull' side.

As the minutes wear on, the infuriated bull becomes a towering bulk of rage, chargino against any and all who dare to di pute hi gro und , and woe betide the unlucky toreador who lip for even an in tant, or he itate in a faltering sidestep.

In a brilliant stratagem, the great matador whirls in his flowing cape, and sink to one knee, as the bull , blinded with blood and rage, tears by, its hot breath seeming to scald the toreador's handsome young face .

Now, he arises slowly confronting th xhau ted bull , and slowly draws a gr at gold embelli shed sword from its scabbard. I t is the moment the crowd has been waiting for ; in the hu hed sil ence, only the grati ng breaths of bull and man can be heard. With a final el gant gesture, he plunges the word deep into the bull's neck, and the great, proud creature inks slowly to the earth .

HE Leader-Dog League for the Blind was incorporated in the spring of 1939 as a national social agency to train dog to erve as guides for the blind and to educate eligible blind men and women in the proper use of Leader-Dogs.

The League is ustained through the annual dues of its member and by donations from clubs, organizations, business firm , fo undations, etc. Membership due , donations, and contributions are tax free.

Training headquarters are located ju t outside Rochester, Michigan, where the League owns several acres of land and where the kennels and students' dormitories and other necessary building are located. In the interest of economy and close control over operations by the executive office, no branch offices or training centers are maintained.

The League is one of the nation's major dog guide training institutions and i one of two such institutions located east of the Rocky Mountains which own all assets nece sary for its operations and which maintain dormitories where students live under constant supervision of competent instructors during a minimum fo ur week instruction period. No member of the Board of Trustees or National Advisory Council receives any remuneration, financial or otherwise, for any services rendered to the League.

At the present time, the League maintains one of the most completely equipped modern dog guide training facilities in the United States. During the first fiscal year following the enlargement of its facilities, the League will increase its production by 100 % over any previous fiscal year. Recent additions to our operating staff and the consequent acceleration of training schedules will make possible an additional 50 9( increase in the number of Leader-Dog units graduated annually. The Leader-Dog League is now providing a very substantial proportion of all scientifically trained dog guides being made available to the

T

eligible blind men and women of the United States.

A tudent practice cour e has been constructed at the school. The course consists of a city block, complete with sidewalk , broken place in walk po t barriers, fence barrier across walk , steps, one and two-step curb , straight and round curbs, straight and diagonal street eros ina , right and left turn , U turns, cut-back and includes a building which is entered from one sidewalk through a winging door and from another idewalk through a revolving door. Practice leads to proficiency in the u e of Leader-Dog as in the development of any other kill , hence the practice cour e is resulting in a more proficient unit at the end of the four week instruction period. All work on the practice course i in addition to the progre ive tage of traffic in truction given in Roche ter, Pontiac, and Detroit, where the same problems as on the practice cour e are encountered, but to which are added the problems of pedestrian and motor traffic and the many distractions which are found in the city.

About an eq~al number of German hepherds and German Boxer are being trained to serve as Leaders. Dogs entering Leader service must possess good health, a ound nervous system, even temperament, a good di po ition, high intelligence and a keen sense of re ponsibility. Before young dogs are placed in harness to receive training as Leaders, they are given a thorough course of orientation in city traffic where their reactions are observed and studied by the trainers. All dogs which have reacted favorably during the orientation period are then placed in barnes and given from three to four months of training by competent and experienced dog guide trainers. The initial phase of guide training is carried on in Rochester, where pedestrian and motor traffic are light and where the distractions are few- the second phase of training is carried on in Pontiac where much heavier traffic and more di -

THE ANCHOR traction are encountered- the third phase takes the Leader-Dogs into the heavy traffic of Detroit, Michigan, one of the nation 's large t cities. After dogs have received their required conditioning in Detroit traffic and have been certified as Leaders, they are placed in the " ready " pool from which they are issued to approved applicants. One of the most interesting features of Leader-Dog training is the selection of suitable Leaders from this pool matched to the observable characteristics of their future masters- it being a basic tenet that a Leader-Dog and hi s master must be complementary.

QUALIFICATION OF APPLICA TSApplicants for Leader-Dogs must be totally blind or have only slight light perception, be~ 路tween 18 and 50 years of age, in good general health with no other major physical impairment, emotionally stable, of good character, not addicted to liquor, and potentially employable. o person engaged in any form of begging may ecure a Leader. Housewives and

19

students attending instituti ons of hi gh r edu cation are eli gible.

Although the cost of supplying a Leader-Dog runs into hundreds of dollars, each approved applicant is required to as ume onl y $150.00 for the service. This amoun t covers room, board an(j incidental expenses during the fo ur weeks instruction period when he is in re idence at the school. Leader-Dogs are avail able without charge to eligible veterans of World War II. The League educates its own instructor an d during their educational period they are in constant a sociation with all blind tu dents.

During this educational period whi ch is from three to four years, each in tructor mu t li ve under blindfold and becom e a member of a class of blind people for at least four week .

This gives him a more complete und erstanding of the problems with whi ch his future tudents will be confronted. At the present time, the League has three qualified instructors an d two apprentice trainers. Additi onal apprentice will be added to our staff as facilities permi t.

We had a lively question and answer period in which we learned many little things of particular interest to our group. One of the best remembered is the fact that the women of Britain do not have organizations to correspond to the clubs and like groups that are so abundant in our country. When these exchange teachers go back and tell them what a wonderful time American women have meeting together and exchanging ideas, the men of the Isles are likely to have the same problem find ing their wives at home that their American counterparts already have. Seriously, our association with one another in Alpha Sigma Tau and in other organizations makes us more aware of the needs of this world and better able to do omething about them.

We had previously been having evening meetings but found that the luncheon brought out many mqre members. We do love to eat as well as talk.

This year we decided to do somethina extra to make money so we had a bake sale in a grocery uptown. Each member donated food to sell for two dollars or more. We had a lot of fun, and made a nice little sum.

11/ew Jjork j Socia/ Conjcience Eugenia Buckton invited the group to her home for the December meeting.

After lunch, feeling quite replete and happily disposed towards the rest of the world, we felt it was a fine time to discuss what we should do in the way of lo cal social service. It was unanimously agreed that one of the most worthy organizations is the " Seeing Eye" in Morristown, New J ersey, and the treasurer was instructed to send a check to this association. A letter of acknowledgment was subsequently received in which was路 expressed sincere gratitude for our contribution.

In connection with social service, mention might also be made that arrangements have been made to have Miss Dorothy Nace, Secretary at Pine Mountain Settlement School, Harlan County, Kentucky, speak at the next meeting. She is planning to tell what part the gifts from national and chapter organizati ons play in the developmen t of the curriculum of the school and resources of this Kentucky community- in thi s manner, bringing us all closer to the project.

At our January meeting we wished ourselves a " Happy Birthday " fo r it was our annual Birthday Luncheon. This yea r we held it at the Homestead Restaurant, where we were served a delicious meal " fa mil y style. " It is not a birthday without a cake, so there were two of them , complete with candles. And games, too, which rather taxed our ingenuity.

Our Valentine Luncheon was also held in town, to eliminate tran sportation difficulties, at a new sandwich shop. We were very glad to have as our guest Mrs. James Barnes, past

patrones and future advi ser to Lambda hapter. Her descrip tion of the collegiates' acli vitie and of the clubroom the gi rl s have in her home- " The Cloiste rs"- made many of ' us wish we were back at T empl e. I t was also aood to see Ruth Atherton Locke, who has not been able to attend meetings for some time, and Betty Hood , who, in keepin g with our Valentine theme, wa sportin g an engagement ring. D uring our meeting we sewed mo t industrio usly, basting hems in towel for use in Women 's Medical Coll ege Ho pital. Some of the girls took home som e of these towels to stitch by machine.

Our vocal trio- Mildred Day, Peg Reed and Eleanor Heydrick, with Betty Cooling as accompani st- are certainly winning fam e, if not fortune , by their frequent engagement .

Their most recent one was at a Fashion how given by the church to which Mildred belongs, and as usual they gave an excellent performa nce. We are proud of our mu ical tal ent.

" The hub-bub rose in crescendo as more and more girls piled into the home of Margaret Pittard Chewning la t February 7. That ' a the BIG clay fo r the new Richmond-Peter burg alumnre chapter.

Finall y the gracious voice of Ferne Phipp quieted the clamor as she marshalled us into place fo r the initiation ce remony. We marveled at her amiability . . . not many folk can leave their loved ones at 1 :00 A. M. ride a train half the night, meet officers hal f a day and still manage a genuine smil e at 3: 00 P.M. but Ferne did just that. As P re ident of the Fourth District, she officially in talled our alumn<e chapter leading the initiation ceremony.

THE ANCHOR

our various homes and occupations, we were again being united more closely by sorority ties. It was a grand feeling!

At two previous meetings we had laid the necessary foundations for this " Charter Meeting." Only 11 girls attended our initial luncheon in the Green Room at " Ewart's,' but Jeanne Arington, Farmville's Alumnre Representative, was there to inspire us to canvass the town for the addresses of our fellow classmates. Several girl s had belonged to the Richmond-Petersburg Chapter before it was dissolved because of the war situation, so their able advice alleviated some of the customary " growing pains." To our delight, we came to the second meeting 23 strong, and at this time elected our officers.

Carroll offered the officers her home to hold a " Potluck" luncheon and confer with Ferne Phipps before the installation service. Once assembled there, we chatted about the '46 Convention in Cincinnati, N .P.C., our duties, and had a good old fashioned sorority pow-wow.

Shepherdjtown j _A,.t / The Shepherdstown alumnre started 1948 with a meeting on January 3 at the home of Margaret Roulette in Sharpsburg, Maryland.

The program for that evening was all on Tew Years. VVe had lots of fun drawing pictures in the dark of the baby representing the New Year's symbol. Some of the pictures showed what fine artists we could be.

On February 7 we had a large attendance

when we went to the home of Mrs. Keith Bland in ~hepherdstown. Miss Rachel Snyder from Shepherdstown was invited for the evening to tell the Alpha Sigs of her experiences and points of interest which she visited while in England, last ummer. She told many interesting things and showed many beautiful souvenirs from her trip.

VVe didn 't lack up with our social activities just because the holiday season wa over. In January a Chili Supper was held at the home of Alice Vit. Such a good time was had by everyone and their dates that it was decided to have another party in the sprina. VVe are also planning a Rummage Sale and our annual Mothers' Day Dinner.
