MISS LUCY MORGAN

t. No doubt it was the 50th Anniversary of Alpha Sigma T au which prompted the L ansing Alumn ae Chapter to enl arge their social service progra m las t spring-or else it was the fact that two sorority sisters who once taught with Miss Lucy Morgan a t Penl and, N. C ., served as th e incentive to bring " Mi ss Lucy" to our city. But, whichever it was, it originally bega n with the simple idea of raising ex tra money for the AST room in the exceptionall y fin e Penland School of H andicraft.

However, it developed into an exten ive project which sent out dynam ic little Mi ss Morgan upon a sp.ea k_ing tour up and down Michiga n, and even into Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri- m any th anks for the fine cooperation from Centra l Office and all others who entered into the spirit of the "Benefit for Penla nd" project so whol eheartedly.

The following was Miss Lucy's schedule fo r her speaking tour which was a rranged so capably by our cha irm an, Mrs. A. T . Wil son :

Everyone loved our "Miss Lucy," who is a very charming, petite person with a great fores ight and deep purpose to serve humanity.

We are indeed very proud of her and the fine school which she h as helped e tabli h.

Penland School of H andicraft is gaining world-wide r cognition - and so is " Mi Lucy," for she was cho en as one of the top three authorities on handicrafts in the United States, when a branch of U. S. Service invited her to erve a one of three judge in picking the winners in the World-Wide Craft Contes t which was held in the Pentagon Building, Wa hington, D . C . L ast M ay he rece ived an urgent invitation to meet with a group in th Commissioner of Education' Office, W ashington, D . C., to di cu arts and ha ndicrafts in our chool and college .

The school has been pon oring handicraft tours through th Scandinavian countrie and also tudent-teacher excha nae plan a well a e tablishing a cholar hip.

It seems to the L ansing Alumnae that Penland School of H andicraft ha, inde d, much to offer a nyone-and i certain! a mo t worthwhile project worthy of Alpha igma

M ost of the time was spent in the Sca ndinavian countrie and Finla nd. Our friend Mr .

Emm y Sommer h elped to pl a n our itinera ry through the Scandinavian countries, and was actu ally with us for much of our experi ence in her na tive D enm a rk. In the Arts and Industries Mu seum of Copenhagen we saw a special exhibition of contempora ry craftsweaving, ceramics, metal work, and jewelry.

We visited with Mrs. Somme r, Gerd a H enning's school and studio. She was ch arming a nd gracious, a nd her weavings superb! She was giving a four- yea r weaving course, and beginning with 1950 it i to be a five-year course. H er stud ents were doing weave of from two to sixteen h arness, and doing their own designs, in ta pestry, fl ossa, rya, Finn weave, damask, etc. Beside the usual type of loom they were using a h and J acqu ard and a draw-boy loom. Miss H enning took u s into her inn er sanctum and showed u h er own weavings, mostl y church wea ving in all silk damask in scarl et and in gold ; and ta bl e da ma ks, some in white and som e a rich golden yellow, woven on a semi-bl eached linen wa rp. W e a ll wa nted to stay right there r~ n d take th a t fi ve-yea r course !

• V·.,lc wa lked mi les a nd mil es through Fredr ri cksborg Cas tle vvhi ch Mrs. Sommer says i " Over dooed. " Th e wall s of the tremendous ba llroom were covered with ta pe tri es, m a ny of th em from th e Gobelin Art Gallery- orne origin a l and som restora ti ons. It was a thrill to sec M rs.

But this doesn' t begin to furni h the room.

Now, loya l AST' - can' t orne of you get your h eads togeth er and com e up with a dresser, de k, ch airs, r ug--even a mirror or pictures, etc.?

The land is a riot of color and the air feels brisk and sharp. A letter which I read, written by a boy about to be shipped overseas, expresses so beautifully these thoughts that I would like to share a part of it with you. H e writes, " . .. a solitary couple stroll down the street for a Sunday afternoon walk and are oblivious to a nything like a war or a navy, or a ny form of regula tion by man. Only the real things, things made by God confront the two. They are not fully aware that before them this afternoon is something they have because men are dying to keep it so.

The very first day we visited H elsinki's K asitoopisto, h a ndicraft school for teach ers, and met Maria Halva, a craft supervisor. We were so impressed with the school tha t we asked Miss Halva if she thought Finla nd would be interested in a teacher-student exch a nge with Penla nd. She contacted the Director General of the Boa rd of School s who was not only interested, but enthusiastic, and now we h ave worked out definite olans for such an exch a nge, beginning with the fall of 1950.

D EAR FRIENDs oF PINE MouNTAIN:

The taking of this year's school census has been an experience which our teaching staff will lo,ng remember. School was dismissed for the day to enable us to visit the homes in this a rea.

Two of our teachers started out early for the Breaks of L aurel, two others m ade their way down Greasy Creek to Big L aurel and R ockhouse, while the fifth proceeded on foo t up Steel Trap Branch to Little L aurel cove~颅 ing territory which even a jeep could not travel. It was my part to drive the Pine Mountain jeep the length of our two most inaccessible creeks. H ere were found some twenty children not a ttending school a t all whom we m ust somehow find a way to reach next year.

All of us had to go up into remote hollows to find the more isolated homes. These mountain h ollows and creeks are deceiving. No one would believe that so many children could be living h ere.

It was encouraging to find that the homes of form er Pine Mountain students were a ttractive a nd the children well cared for, tha t although these families often h ad limited m eans, they were abl e to make better use of what they h ad .

W e returned la te in the day tired but with a renewed determination that the work a t the Pine Mountain Settlement School m ust go forward for we found many things tha t must still be done. T here were many children not enroll ed in school a t all because their homes are so far removed from the roads (although our school h as enrolled a total of 216 pupils this year it should h ave been 250 ) . W e must h elp both the children and their parents to a pprecia te more fully the educational opportunities now offered a t Pine M ountain. In

t IN A GROUP such as a sorority a great many of the members have an opportunity at some time or other to lead a discussion or h ead a com mittee. One of the chief aims of Phi Mu is to help develop leadership qualities which are potential in almost every one of our members.

Being a leader is not a task to be taken lightl y and we, as lea ders of our pledges as well as the other actives, must be constantly at work to become the very be t of leaders and to set an example worth following.

On the Ohio State campus, there are severa l grou ps which sponsor some kind of a leadership training program each year. The fo llowing check list is one which I feel can be most helpful, not only to the officers of a ch apter but to the girls who h ave smaller groups to lea d and other offices on the campus. I gave these different points in a discussion group during our recent District V convention an d had several girls tell me how much they would like a more complete list.

I am sure you can see th e value of such a persona l check list in any training period of our cha pter (but we h ave to be honest! ).

I. PERSONAL Q UALITIES Since as leader we are in the campus eye, people around us are constantly aware of our actions. We need to check ourselves on the impre ion we are creating- consciously or unconsciously-on others.

1. I know the importa nce of physical energy. (I get enough re t to m aintain it.)

2. I can relax. I do not give the impression of being always "in high ."

3. I try to ch eck m y way of speaking, walking, a nd acting so that I never appear snobbish or thoughtless.

4. I remember that m y personal appeara nce plays a part in m y impression on others.

5. I see to it that my voice is distinct and "sounds interested."

6. I know that the campus a t large i likely to judge the group I represent by my actions and a ttitudes.

7. I try to overcome the tendency to become "brittle" when I'm tired.

7

8. I don't ge t conceited when recognition is given me because of my office.

II. GROUP R ELATIONS How an we build a "team spirit"? H ere are a few pointers that may help.

1. I call people in the group by name.

2. I try to learn something about th m and th ir interests.

3. The members of my group feel we attack probl ems together.

4. I don' t try to sell the group on my own ideas all the time.

5. Our own members know when they do a good job. (I tell them! ) 6. They know what we're aim ing at. (Our goals are as clear to them as to me.)

7. I draw all members of the group into active participation in the program.

8. I say "we," not "I." III. ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION The leader often h as an administrative post in the organization.

Wh a t can she do to make things "click"?

1. I a m old on my job! I fee l it has a lot to contribut to the campu (or chapter) .

2. I can be depended on to carry through on a job to the last detail.

3. I kee p appoin tments.

4. I can plan a nd organize my own time effectively so that I get thing done.

5. I'm willing to give up a course of action that's a favorite of mine if a nother i sugges ted tha t the group think is better.

6. I delegate re ponsibility to other people and ee to it tha t they carry through .

7. I am willing to tand by a decision and carry it out energetically once it has been made.

IV. Co DUCT oF MEETING What techniques are valuable to the leader of a meeting? When I conduct a meeting do the members feel we are getting things done a nd also enjoy it?

1. I know enough about parliamentary pro edure to keep meetina aoing smoothly. ( CONTIN

EouCATION CoMMITTEE oF TH E NATIONAL PANHELLEN rc CoNFERENCE Bernice Gat e, Ruth War e Grieg, Mary B. M erritt

;\. THE colleges and universities of the United States extend each year a welcome to students from all parts of the world. Mr. J. Benj amin Schmoker in the 1949 issue of "The Unofficial . Ambassadors," published 路 by the Committee on Friendly R elations Among Foreign Students, makes pertinent suggestions for an improved community program for these students.

"The Unofficial Ambassadors" for 1949 reports an increase this year of over 3,000 in the number of students from other lands in residence in colleges and universities in the United States. There are 24,000 guest students from 101 countries and island groups.

If tha t frequently quoted sentence from the Prea mble to the Constitution of UNESCO ha s any validity, what ha ppens to these guests is very much our concern and responsibility. The preamble reads: " Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men tha t the defense of peace must be constructed ."

"At the same time we ca nnot be true to our own experience a nd our own knowledge without sta ting these facts : 1. Currency restrictions and the shortage of the American doll a r interfere with the best selective proce ses.

New na tions needing our help at this particular momen t are the very ones hindered in th e sending of their students. 2. There are stud ents now in residence in actual want.

There a re students who face returning without h aving completed th eir edu ca tional requirements. The colleges a re carrying the finan cial burden, but they cannot do so ind efinitely. W e do not believe tha t the defenses of pea ce ca n be assumed a nd carried by private m ea ns alone. W e do believe th a t our peopl e should encourage our government to place high priority on the program of student excha nge. It is a basic investment in understanding a nd good will. 3. Education for su ch international amity is a two-way process. W e have much to learn from our guests. W e need to create a condition of mutual respec t and mutual humility. 4. Education for peace is not the concern of the classroom and the lecture hall alone. Our

aim has been for a total edu a tional xp rience. For th e for ign student this m a ns tha t way must b found to share the rugh r intellectu al, social a nd r ligious valu es inh rent in our society.

"From the port of entry the student goes to the college campus. The pla nn d personal touch goes with him . Our larger coll eges ~ nd universities have offi iall y designated Foreign Student Counselor . These counselors in turn work 路with other members of the faculty, campus leaders and students so tha t it becomes possibl e for the guest student to a nticipa te and rea lize person al contact upon his arrival in the college community. In other coll eg centers the Committee h as 'associates,' men and w~men of the community who can be called upon for such personal service as may be necessary. Furthermore, in this econd a rea of our service, the Committee, largely becau e of its personal contacts, is able to continue a relationship that encourages the gue t student to sha re rus experiences and express his desires a nd needs. On the basis of uch informa tion, the Committee, in turn, ugge t a ca mpus program designed to achieve better results. W e are able to serve as a clearing hou e of experiences . where good p rogram building on one college campu 路 can be hared and adapted to ano ther.

C ourtesy of Th e Angelos of Ka ppa D elta

BY H ELEN Bu NTING BRo wN of the Blue Ridge Mountains for our twentyfi fth class reunion. W e were as igned by the alumnae secretary to a dormitory room who e occupants did not stay fo r comme ncement.

By a strange coincidence that room was the one we had occupied together in college days.

L ate in the night when the campus finally becam e quiet, pictures of life at Hollin that I h ad not thought of in years flood ed my memory. Most vivid was a m emory of four undergradu ates sprawling on those two bed in one of the never-ending bull sessions about Life (always with a capital "L" ). One ophomore contributed that she could not believe that "Life" was anything but good and we solemnly agreed that life was good, ha ppy, a sort of Pollyanna arrangem ent. Thi s wa occurring in the opulent twenties, a time a little like the p re ent. Money was easy. F ew students h ad any great financial d ifficul ty staying in school. W e had just won a great war- one to "end all wars"-and life was to be free from stres and strain from then on.

But, each of these girls, in a few short years, was faced with bringing up a family in the most devastating fin ancial depression in ou r country's history; the bewildering experience of facing separation from beloved ones by the seemingly final hand of death ; and m eeting a condition in which we were powerless to do anything but send our on and husbands to kill or be killed. Ye , my generation wa forced to face these terrific m ajor crise without m an's spiritual plane being on the high level with life's other plane .

;l;. THE woods are full these days of authors whose m anuscripts admonish us to lose our fears, gain confidence in ourselves in this or that m anner and face life with courage. This type of writing will continue to appear as long as life continues to increase in tempo, for a certain amount of peace and confidence can be gained by the calming reitera tion of certain basic truths that we say we believe but fail to m ake a pa rt of ourselves by putting into practice.

Perhaps it is a little unfa ir to so label the e fe w paragraphs th at one expects a discussion of some sort of air line schedul e when we intend to deal not with fl ying m achines of any sort, but with the plane defin ed by Mr. Webster thus: "L evel ; tate of development or existence." For the moment, let us divide all of life into three planes-intellectual, social, and spiritual. Which planes are we, collectively and individually, developing to the greatest degree? In that development are we finding peace, calmness, poise, and confid ence ?

Certainly m an's .intellectual plane has reached the highest level of development in history. His amazing ability to visualize the almost impossible and m ake it actual is an indication of that. The extent to which m ass education has grown should also indicate a rise in the intellectual plane. How wonderful it must be to achieve a goal in intellectual endeavors! How stimulating to have fashioned a h ydrogen bomb or advanced an Einstein theory! But if we " take this plane," are ¡ we sure to find peace and confidence ?

There is the social plane which h as reached, with the intell ectual plane, a high level of development. Society h as become complicated with its business, political, domestic, recreational, et cetera ad infinitum pressures buffeting us into anything but peace and h armony.

It is with the development of the third plane- the spiritual- that we mu t concern ourselves most actively and aggressively.

Last June one of m y college roommate Hilda G ardner H arden Gamma, and I went back to that mall Virgini a college a t th foot

U ntil m an bring the level of his piritual development higher than that of his intellectual and social plane , there i no hope of peace on ea rth nor peace in individual minds.

How can this be brought about, for it i a complete rever al of many modern trend ?

How can love, hone ty humility elfle ne become ommon attribute of all human nature? It is erv imple-let it begin in me!

If I am to face life' emergen ie calmly and unafraid I mu t find omethinrr piritual that I can h ave faith in. If I put m â&#x20AC;˘ fa ith in financial ecurit thi can b ' ep t away in (CONTI ,

_Adult f:ducalion Bv MARY WALLACE, Muncie Alumnae

t WHAT line of adult education are you as a mother following in preparation for your interests and activities after your children no longer need your immediate attention? All too often we suddenly awaken to the fact that Johnny or Mary has seemingly grown up ov~rnight a nd either they're off to college, or a JOb or to make a home of their own. Quite a bruptly we mothers find ourselves no longer rushed and busied by the demands of a lively hou sehold where practically all activity of any importance h as needed a mother's interest and aid. It is inde<;:d a shocking let-down in some cases and if tha t mother h as not thought a bout it and planned or followed some creative interest of her own liking, she is quite likely to find herself fl oundering like the proverbial fish out of water. She is litera lly lost in her own household a nd often finds herself becoming self-centered, disagreeable a nd fault-finding. H er aches and pains are grea tly m agnifie d a nd she may become a very unpleasant person.

Oppor tunities for interesting h obbies, avocations or pa rt-time participa tion in comm unity affairs are varied and numerous. If one does not h ave a ny training in some fiel d, such organization as YWCA or AAUW offer courses in ma ny types of interesting projec ts. Every comm unity clamors for teen-age

sponsors, Girl Scouts I aders and perhaps day-nursery helpers. You can also help th boys in s outing by being a den-moth r.

There is great need for your servi es in your community during the summ er months. 4-H club work offers· a variety of activities an d a wonderful opportunity to help train the future hom makers and moth er of America. So much for that type of activity dealing with other people.

If you chose to work mort" or less alon but still follow a creative u rge, you may write for periodicals, weave, sketch or paint or you may want to sew or knit for a sm all profit. If you ha ve trained for a prof ssion, you may find it very well to revive your interest in it.

Then for the sake of everyone a nd esp cially our very own selves, we hould d, finitely pla n to follow som creative a tivity tha t we enjoy after our child ren are grown.

Through our sorority association , w h a e th e opportunity of keeping alert and by r eading and h earing of th interests of other Alpha Sigma T aus, find orne reative urge we may satisfy to make our elves a more interesting and worth-wh ile p er on . By doing so, we a re h elping to make the world a better place in which to live. ;t t ;t ( CONTIN U ED FRO M P AGE 14 ) re.adily admits the lie with, "But ou ha en't twinkling of a n eye, leaving desola tion and a thing I said in writing, h ave you ?" despair.

CHRISTINE G AULDIN,

;.\; WHY join a sorority? This question is repeatedly asked sorority girls by friends, relatives.

How can we answer them? What can we say to these people who honestly do not know the companionship, security, and feeling of being wanted that go with sorority life ? How can we explain the thrill we experienced on tha t rush week end when we dash ed, bid in h a nd, up the steps of our sorority house and into the arms of our loudly cheering sisters-to-be?

Could they ever understand how deeply touch ed .we were a t initiation, and how the ideals that were so new to us then h ave become so much a part of our lives-a part tha t makes us a little bit richer, a little bit better, and a little bit more the women that our Creator intended that we be?

Psi '50

The warm feeling tha t floods the room each time we sing our Sorority Hymn is omething that words cannot explain. There is something in our orority life, something in being "like-minded, compassionate, loving as sisters" that must be experienced rather than explained.

Sorority life is, in a sense, like being a member of a family. It furnishes us with an indescribable something, a most valu able something that makes life worth living. Life without love and friendship is worthless; life with love and friendship is rich and beautiful.

The wonderful thing about friendship is that the more of it that we give, the more comes back to u s. The wonderful thing about sorority is tha t there ar~ so many opportunities for giving.

Flapper days are here again! R etrogression! Yes ! This is how Sigma collegiates interested non-Greeks in sorority. The theme of our Rush Party was centered on the 25th birthday of Alpha Sigma T au at Buffalo Sta te. Invita tions in the .form of a 1925 model car were sent 路to 75 all-around girls, and 50 a ttended the party, held at the College Club.

Attic trunks were raided as Sigma girls hunted in search of "fl apper" costumes to really take the rushees back to the "roaring twenties," and more than one dress h ad the odor of moth balls. The entert ainment incl uded an old time movie accompanied by the tear-jerking notes of "H earts and Flowers," however, the real hit of the evening came when two sorority girls danced the Charleston and the Big Apple.

With a successful Rush Party behind us we of Sigma are looking forward to a wonderfu l grou p of Pledges for the coming year.

SIGMA's year here at Buffalo State has had a wonderful start. Our annual informal dance, Tau D reamtime, held O ctober 29, proved to be a colossal success. The d ance floor of "State's" new Student Union looked like Time's Square on New Year's Eve as couples waltzed, polkaed, and jitter-bugged in time to the music of " The Club Bandstand." Old Vienna lived again for a few short minutes as competing couples waltzed to the Blue Danube in the main attraction of the dance, Tau's "Waltz Contest." The winning couple was crowned Emperor and Empress of the Waltz at the stroke of midnight under a huge shimmering yellow crescent moon and the girl was presented with a

Then th ere was the shining gold cup which we won for writing the best song for the Pa nhellenic Council of our schoo l. Each sorority submitted one original song which was presented by its m embers at a joint meeting of all the sororities on our campus and a group of faculty members who acted as judges. Our winning song, written by Elizabeth J amerson and Sarah Strader, will be used as the song of the Panhellenic Council of our college a nd will be entered in a simila r contest on a na tional scale.

Among other things th at are new in our house this year are several pieces of furniture, purch ased by the sorority last spring.

Last, but not least, is our new house mother, Mrs. Williams, whose many talents a nd delightful personality h ave already made her an importa nt part of our group .

Everyone is excitedly making plans for our rush party which will have a carnival theme this year. With all the wonderful ideas for entertainment and the enthusiasm being shown by our m embers, it cann ot help but be a success.

All of the sororities on our campus a re, for the first time, on a quota limitation system, under which we can h ave only a certain number of members from each clas , but we h ave great hopes of receiving a wonderful group of girl .

We are sure that our senior will never forget the delightful de sert bridge party gi en them by our spon or Mis Frank and Dr. Latimer.

Homecoming was our first thought when we came back to school. W e campaigned for our candidate, Dorothy Sveen (a cute chick with scads of p ersonality ) at a special convocation and at a dance.

At convocation, Ruby Schuler and Meredith Olson handed out tiny candy bars with banners saying "Here's a favor for you, Why not a favor for Dot?" Our dance was a little different from the average. We featured "Broom dances." It really went over big.

t Now tha t vacations have become a thing of the past- we began this fall with a roundup at the home of our president, Gertrude Kimmick. Interesting ]ides of Penland were shown by our hostess, who, with h er husband, visited Miss Lucy Morgan during the summer.

t THE Muncie Alumnae Chapter began its fall activities in September with a potluck supper at the home of Mrs. Roger Nottingham. The eighteen alums present were an enthusiastic group as they ate, sat in business session, a nd then listened to a mutual exchange of travelogs of the various m embers present. The Ways and M eans Committee presented two ideas for replenishing the treasury, both of which were adopted. Each member is to put her talent ( ) to work- be it cooking, typing, baby-sitting, or what. She is to sell the product of her talent to someone, deduct her expenses in producing the product, and place her "net gain" in the sorority treasury. The second idea adopted by the group co nsi ts in the a signment to the ch apter of a Penn ylvania Dutch ch est fill ed with samples of pottery (lots of emerald and gold ), such as flower container , planters, demitas e cups a nd aucers. Orde rs are ta ken for the items desired a nd a se t percentage accrues to the sorority treasury.

OUR NEWS AGENCY ::!Jelroil, DEAR ALPHA SIG: Every Alpha Sigma Tau should be familiar with the News Agency and the fact that every magazine subscription she sends in means a commission for her own chapter.

Out of 27 collegiate chapters only three chapters sen t in magazine subscrip 路 tions.

Out of 24 alumnae chapters only eleven chapters sent in magazine subscriptions.

National pays all postage and incidental expenses so that the commission that your chapter will receive is clear profit . Remember, also, that the commission on renewals is usually the same as on a new subscription. If you get a notice of expiration or special offer from the publisher, send it to me with your check.

When you send in a subscription order blank, be sure it contains the name of your chapter so that I can properly keep track of the commission and give your chapter the full credit.

Many of the magazines which have been restricted so long because of paper shortage are being released and Christmas is a wonderful time to build up. a subscription list. Please feel free to send any inquiries you have to me and try to get Christmas Gift Orders in early.
