J?eporl o/ ihe Jhirl'J-firjl flennia/ rf/eeling o/flalionaf Panhef/enic Con/erence J us T a the friendship within one' s own fraternity a re among the most trea ured things which one receives from it, so are the interfraternity friend ships fostered by the contac ts of National Panhellenic Conference-a conviction which was renewed and strengthened by the Thirty- first Biennia l M ee ting of Na tional Panhellenic Conference, held at Skytop, Penn ylvani a, November 8- 12, 1949. Surely these are the bes t possible found a tions for the wise solution of the campus and nation-wide problem s which face fra ternities. The decision of NPC which has perha ps the greatest significance is tha t which is to determine the policy which all NPC fra ternities, bo th full and associate members, will follow in situa tions which result from radical agi ta tion s on campuses. The exact wording of the resolutions whi ch were adopted unanimously both by N PC and by the representative of th e associa te member fra ternities is as follows: " BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the NPC R esea rch and Public R elation Committee shall advise a College Pa nhellenic of the proper procedure for a ll m ember grou ps of the College Panhellenic when su ch groups are reques ted as a result of radical agita tion, to answer questionn aries or vote on proposals tha t challenge the right to choose one's friends in a D emocracy, which right is guara nteed under the F ederal Constitution a nd the Briti h N orth American Act in Canad a . T HAT a n agreement be signed a t this meeting by the delegates, representa tives, and n a tional presidents who a re present a t this 1949 NPC Conference agreeing tha t no Constitution will be fil ed with th e colleges or universities or other outside groups without a pprova l of the NPC Committee on R esearch and Public R ela tions and tha t no questionnaires or requ e ts, ora l or written, will be answered during the coming biennium until such time as these questionnaires or requests have been reviewed by the NPC Committee on R esearch and Public R ela tions and information released as to their validity."

Tha t NPC reaffirm a nd r tain its poli y as to the number of cha pter mem'ocrs a nd that it be sta ted in the following m anner and placed in the NPC M anual of Information: 1. NPC recommend s tha t control of chapter size be ma intained through a definite plan of combined limita tion a nd quota. T he following expl ana tion to be print d in the M anual : Each College Panhclleni c establishes what it considers a siz suffi cien tly large for a chap ter to function uccessfully on a given campus. It a lso sets a quota wh ich it considers suffi cient for a cha pter to maintain it elf in a given class or year. T hi gives all fra ternities the opportum ty to become mor uniform in size as well as better ba la nced in class distribution. By es tablishing a floor (quota) as well as a ceiling (limita tion ) , th group which pledges, tra in , ini tiate and keeps in a ch apter a large percen tage of it quota year in a nd year out, nevertheles , i enabled to bring in annu ally ufficient new members for growth and development. By the sam e token, a cha pter which in a given year might suffer a large los of member hi p through circum ta nces over which it h a no control, h as the opportunity to build u p its size ove r and above the quota o long a it does not exceed the chapter li mita tion. T he actual number for quota a nd lim ita tion arrived a t mu t take into consideration all elements fund amental to proper functioning of fra ternities. College Pa nhell enics a re a dvi ed to con ult with their NPC Advi er on the Committee on College Panhellenic for details a nd examples of procedu r and furt her clarifica tion of this plan. Tha t the NPC Committee on College Panhelleni cs continue to encourage Coll ege Panhellenic to use econom y in th e expe nditure made during rushing. With a deepened realiza tion of the importance of the college fra ternity a a po iti e factor in the develo pment of fi ne character and as a contributor to the be t thina of college life, NPC fra ternitie p ledge their cooperation to the NPC Execu tive Committee.

"Fourth, the duty to express those opinions in an appropriate manner to associates, to officials of the government, or to the general public, as the case may be. " Obviously, in stating those four obligations I am simply placing emphasis upon a process that is now going on. But I do urge that the d evelopment of public opinion, the endeavor to make it a better informed, more analytical public opinion, should be pressed forward by those who have had the privilege of special training and educa tion in our country. " Properly conceived then, the obligations of citizenship involve all of man's r elations with man in service of the common good and are co-exten ive with the later Christian idea of man's duty to his neighbor. " There definitely needs to be a clearer recognition by the people of our country of the manner in which a public d eci ion arises from th e multitude of conversations and discussions that take place throughout the n ation. There need s to be an increased recognition by those who h ave sp ecial training and edu cation and knowledge an d information that they should constantly u e it in this unending and -vital process by which a free people r~ach a decision, reflected in such large m easure in the subsequent actions of their government. "Surely it is not n ecessary to emphasize the ~mportance of these d ecisions of our country m th e years ahead. But it is n evertheless stimulating to note the powerful prose of tha t sturd y and articulate st atesman , Winston Churchill, as set forth in 'The Gatherina Storm.'. H e writes 'It is my earnest hope that pondermg upon the past may give guidance m days to come, enabl e a new generation to . repair some of the errors of former years, and thus govern, in accordance with the needs and glory of man, the awful unfolding scen e of the future.' "

E. STASSEN, President of the H AROLD University of Pennsylvania, discussed in a recent speech, which was published in the "Association of American Colleges Bulletin," the citizenship obligations of the American college graduate.

"NEXT June a

h alf million young m en and young women of our country will receive diplomas signifying their graduation from a university or college. Commencement will signify the successful completion of a course of study d eveloped through centuries of research, and reflecting the d evotion of material resources, intellectual effort and cultural attainment. These young people will be prepared, in significant m easure, to follow a career as scientists and teachers, lawyers and doctors, economists and executives, authors and homemakers, architects and accountants, journalists and d entists, and a multitude of other occupations. "But it is of tremendous importance that neither they nor we should forget that they will also be citizens. They will be citizens of the most productive and most powerful n ation in the world. They will be citizens of a n a tion firmly d evo ted to a system of governm ent by the people. "I shall list four obligations as fundamental in the citizenship of a coll ege gradu ate in the United States of America. . "First, the obvious one of exercising the nght to vote. Some special surveys have indicated that while forty per cent of the general population eligible to vote on the average does not do so, sixty per cent of the college graduates eligible to vote do not do so. "Second, the duty to devote a portion of time and energy to being reasonably well inform ed upon th e major issues before the nation. !his involves, rega rdless of occupation, followmg news of important questions in a good newspaper or periodical, and following the major addresses or docum ents and statements released upon the subject, and exchanging inform ation with others. "Third, a duty to form opinions upon those issues as they reach points of decision by govcrnmen t.

Beta j rJew _Aduijer WE Beta's are starting out our Spring semester with a new sorority adviser. H er name is Mrs. Mary Garvin. Mrs. Ga rvin 'i a librarian here at C entral. Our first meeting with her was a social hour a t the college Annex. We are very happy to have her as an adviser and we are looking forwa rd to many good times together. We have also been busy in the sports field this semester. We formed a basketball team and joined the Panhellenic League. I'm sorry to say that our team wasn't too successful but we certainly had fun trying. Perhaps our softball team will prove to be more successful. We also gained quite a fea ther for our ca p this semester. There are two women on Central's Student Court and both of them are Taus. The girls are Joan Haglund and Dorothy Wright.- DoROTHY WRIGHT.

11/uj '/Mjhej ALPHA SIGMA TA U has been quite busy on the campus of Colorado State College of Educa tion in the last couple of months.

Homecoming themes this yea r with Iota chapter were " Clean ' em up" for the float theme and "Clean Sweep" as the house theme. We all had a gay time getting these themes accomplished and were proud of out accomplishments. In October the pledge entertained with a form al dance in the Broadview H otel with music by a college dance band . The theme was "D evil's Playtime.': with the D evil, himself, pre iding.

IT was with great pride that we saw our own Mattie Jett amidst the "Heavenly Host" as first angel in the annual Y.W.C.A. Christmas pageant. She was chosen for this position by the student body of the college. The week end of December 10-11 our house became a center of festivity in preparation for the Panhellenic Christmas dance. The Psi's and their dates had a banquet in the Green Room of Julia's Restaurant prior to the dance. Jolly snowmen place cards and an attractive Christmas centerpiece wete used in decorating. The banquet ended with the singing of the "Sweetheart Song." Later in the evening, open house was held with efficient hostesses serving coffee, mints, and cakes. The dance itself, long looked forward to, climaxed a grand occasion when the orchestra played the Alpha Sigma Tau "Memory Waltz." Our Pine Mountain project was more than gratifying. All the girls were in the spirit of giving and our boxes were soon overflowing. We contributed to the Panhellenic Mountain Top project with similar results. Our housemother came back from the holidays with a brand new title of Mrs. Stanley Mathis. Naturally with our new kitchen we gave her a surpri e linen shower to show off our social and domestic traits. "Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges" recently announced honor to Psi leaders Barbara Banish, Mattie J ett R etha Shirkey, J ean Snedega r, Sarah Strader, and Fern Waters.-SHIRLEY QUINN.

WE have had two rummage sales this year and find this a good way to add to our treasury. Even though it mean a lot of hard work, we enjoy doing it. Clee Smith was recently initia ted into Kappa D elta Pi, national honorary edu cation fraternity-GINNY BoNo.

WE received 20 wonderful girls as pledges on November 8 after a busy formal rush week. A coke party at the student lounge a few weeks later re ulted in the pledging of 6 other girl . Our annual New Year's Dance was held following the first basketball game in 1950. Music was by Sandy Sandburg's Orchestra and everyone eemed to have a joyous time. Before the Chri tmas holidays we sponsored an aftergame record dance. It was a big succes . Checking coats and concessions at that game also helped to replenish our treas-" ury. We are planning a rummage sale to be held in February. L ast week our pledges -invited us actives down to the Bar None, the student lounge, for a party. " Wear jeans" were their final words. We played active game, the pledge presented some very clever skit~, and refreshments were served. Initiation is being planned for Saturday morning, F ebruary 18, at the Pre byterian Church with a late luncheon to follow. We hope it will be a impre ive a when our chapter became na tional two years ago.MARJORIE LIPPINCOTT.

On January 14, 1950, the gi rls, with their husbands, or other guests, enjoyed a spaghetti dinner a t the Appalachian Social Room in Princeton, West Virginia. This is the econd year that the dinner has been held, and it has proved to be so much fun that it may become an annual affair.

Jouij Sociagzej "

Tms year of 1950 will afford much opportunity for Alpha Taus under their new president, to surpass past achievements. As a starter, the Pi alums have initiated several new members, recent graduates of Harris Teachers College. Those who have become brides also plan to keep the sorority among their active interests. The formal initiation was preceded by a "pot-luck" supper. In February we celebrated Washington's Birthday with a luncheon and card party at the Forest Park Hotel. Twenty-two members attended.-HELEN RouNDS.
