PANHELLENIC'S ANNUAL TEA will highlight the week for the college freshmen. who will be entertained at a special program to be held in the Cancer Center. Flint, Mich. It is held for all the girls in the vicinity entering colleges. Weeks of planning have gone into the aUair. and among the bus y committee members are the trio above. Mrs. Burton MaWhinney, Mrs. William Schultz and Mrs. Fred J. Howes. Mrs. Schultz is co-chairman with Mrs. Rutherford Cooper.

t THE resurgence of interest in alumnae groups in Alpha Sigma Tau in the last few months is a very healthy and hopeful sign not on ly in ou r own sorority but in the entire fraternity world. Our alumn ae clubs have increased from nine to thirty bringing our total of alum nae clubs to thirty-seven and our entire roster of alumnae groups to fiftyeight. Of these fifty-eight, twenty-eight are chartered. 路 This grea t growth in alumnae interest may be attributed to many causes. It might indicate an equal or greater need for sorority affiliations after college than during the years of active participation in collegiate chapters. During college路 years there is the bond of association with contemporaries. In

after years th e d emands of a prof s ion, or f marriage and homem aking in fa r pi a es away from peop le of similar exp ri nc s leaves a void that on ly these alumnae a ffili a ti ons an supp ly. The as ociation with individuals with a like sorority background ; with its em ph a i on ideals, high character a nd inspiring ri tua l - in short the associ ation with like mind d peop le become a heart warming ex peri nc .

The fact that thi s enlarged opportunity to participate in alu mnae group has rece ived such great impetus in such a short time m ay be rega rded as proof that real need ex i ts for these groups and Alpha Sigma T au i upplying the means to fill thi s need among her alumnae.

t h wa with much pleasure and a keen sense of anticipation that the girls of Sigma Cha pter looked forward to being hostesses at the District M eeting which was held on O ctober 2 at the new Student Union of Buffalo Sta te T eachers College. A warm glow of fri endship, enthusia m and gaiety characterized the m ee ting.

Th e schedul e was as fo llows :

1 : 30- 4:00 p.m.- Second Ses ion a. Collegia te D elegate ' Meeting b. Alumnae D elega te ' M eeting c. Summary 4:00- 5:00 - R ecommend a tion a nd Committee R eport 7 : 00- 9:00 - Founder ' D ay Ba nq uet (form al dre op tion al ) 9: 00-10: 30 - Informal Pa rty

We ended the me ting with a fa rewel l breakfast on Sunday, O ctober 28 from 8 :0010:00 a. m. Everyone enjoyed them el e and th e girls of Sigma Chapter wi hed th a t orne d ay in the near future they might again pia ho tess to th eir si ter .

At th e Eastern District M eetin a, Buffalo, O ct. 27, 195/

40 yea r in the a tional Pan hellenic Conference? We think al o of M ary Love Collin , Chi Omega; Amy B. Onken, Pi Beta Phi ; Loui c Leonard, Alpha Gamma Delta· and M a ry B. M erritt, Phi Mu for many year past, serving not onl y their own fraternitie but N .P.C. a well.

But fra terni ti e have had criti c, too. You will so metime hea r people ask, " Of what us are fraternitie ?" or " Wha t ca n fraternitie do for you ?" When we, a fraternity member analyze the e que tion we hould be a ble to tate po itivcly and hone tl y what our fra terniti es ca n do for u and of what u e they are. If we cann ot pre ent valid answe rs, we are failing in our opportunity a fraternity women.

L et u consid er the e q ue ti on a moment.

Fir ·t of all, yo ur fraternity offer you the privilege of fri endship, the pleasure of a ociating with other of a congenial pirit.

This is not a temporary thing- la ting only for the duration of your coll ege d ays. You who are alumn ae, I'm ure have h ad the experience of continuing your friend hip beyond college years, particularly in the work of your alumn ae chapters. AI o, no doubt , there a re those of you who have moved a bout the country and who have depended upon Alpha Sigma T au in a new city to become your fir t fri end . And you have not been disappointed, I know. ot only i friend hip a motivating fore in fraternitie but o i loyalty. Your fraternity expects loya lty from you : L oyalty to yo ur nation al organization, L oyalty to our coll ege, Loya lty to your coll ege chapter and to each of the member within it. And i not loya lty a valuable a nd worthwhile quality?

On the collegiate level, our frat rnity will a! 0 teac h you oope ra tion- a qualit ' a dly n.eeded in the ' orld tod a . You are expe t d to cooperate with your chap ter and n tiona! " i th th d mini tra ti n f ·our office r s hool and with a h th r. You obe · the regul ation h, pter b , usc y u re, 1-

t As members of the Greek-letter fraternity world, we are a part of a vast company numbering, in 1950, 1,949,311 m embers, and we are the product of a long and illu trious pas t - the inheritors of a culture devised centuries ago to answer man' s need for close association, the answer to man' s inherent ca pacity for friendship.

The record of men uniting themselves together in social bonds goes back to the earliest times.

So the principle of uniting together for fri endship's sake is nothing new. H ere in Am erica, the first Greek-letter fraternity wa , of course, Phi Beta Kappa, found ed in 1776 a t the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va. In a very few years chapter of Phi Beta Kappa had been e tablished at Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth. By the end of Phi Be ta· Kappa's first fifty years, its character had changed, being by that time no longer a secret fraternity but rather an honorary one.

In the first half of the nineteenth century a number of other fraternities were organized.

Th e story of th e founding of each of them is fascinating. The year from 1850- 1900 saw the establi hm ent of many other fraternities for both men and wom en, culminating, for us, with the founding, in 1899, of Alpha Sigma Tau at th e Michigan State Normal College, Yp ilanti, M ich, Through the year that have pas ed since the inception of th e first fraternities, much has been sa id rela tive to their worth. Frate rnities, both for m en and women, have a lways had powerfu l advocates in people like the la te Francis W. Shepardson, beloved form er president of Beta Theta Pi ; the late Alvan E. Duerr, Delta Tau Delta ; the late William R. Baird, Beta Theta Pi, a nd Geo rge Banta, Phi Delta Theta . When our thought turn to women's fraterniti es exclusively who an m a ·ure th worth of service lik th a t g iven by L . Pea rle Gr n K ap pa Alpha Theta, wh ha rcpr nt -d her fraternit f r 4

THE ANCHOR ize the good of the large group to be above your individual wi hes.

Your fraternity is aJso deeply concerned with your acad emic standing for it believes it is important for you to achieve the ultim ate of which you are ca pable. So your fraternity requires of you certain averages for initiation, certain scholastic tandard s for your chapter as a whole and , in general, stresses your intellectual accomplishm ent. For why else are you a college student?

Your fraternity likewise will foster in you a spirit of reverence-a belief in things that are true and worthwhile. Your fraternity's secret services are built on a firm belief in God and a reverence for the good life.

In addition to these things, I think it is undenia bly true th at in a fraternity chapter one achieves poise and social adaptability ; one lea rn to live in a large group in harmony.

There is still something else your fra ternity will do for you . It will teach you the value of service to others, for fraternities beli eve they are " their brother' s keeper." I know of no national fraternity that does not h ave a service program. They are many and varied.

In some instances they are scholarships, some help the blind, some the crippled , others assist in se ttlement work ; your own Alpha Sigma T au supports the Penl and School of H andcraft at Penl and , N . C., and the Pine Mountain Settl em ent School at Pine Mountain, K entucky.

Surely all th ese qu alities-loya lty, cooperation, mental achi evement, reverence and poise represent in part, at leas t, the treasures your fraternity offers you.

In th ese turbul ent and troubled times, however, there are certain h azards our fra ternity system faces and we would be les th an intelligent and hones t if we did not recognize them. It is my firm conviction th a t a true appraisal of the situa tion and a u stained effort to overcome these problem s are vitally necessary if we are to preserve the institution beloved by thou sands-the Am erican Greek-letter fraternity.

T oday's world is bed eviled by the curse of cynicism. M any have become "sophisti cates," afraid to believe in anything.

But cyni cism is not our only h azard. Another I should like to m ention is best summed up, I think, in the current slang expression

of "L et Georg do it." Your fraternity xperience will b fa r mor mean ingful if you give yourself to it wholeheartedly. B enthusiastic a bout it. Don>t let George do it- do it yourself!

Another even more serious fraternity hazard is the matter of poor publi r lations.

We used to call it "publicity" but it' s mor dignified tod ay ! In any case, you'v all seen mu ch in th e public press, from time to tim , to disc r dit fraterniti es-s tories that may be frightfull y exaggerated but th at become a ll the more deadl y in their effectiveness. W e've had occasions where representa tives of wellkn own magazines appear on a campus, persuade a fra ternity group to let them tak e a series of pictures purporting to show, say, a typical college day. So the fra ternity obliges thinking it will be good publi ity for the chapter. In some instances, the pictures a ppea r with completely misleading caption that distort the whole episode. This is rare but not unheard of. In other instances, the emphasis will be most misleading-several p ages devoted to social activities, pre-initiation stunts, etc., with possibly one mall picture in an obscure spo t showing a few hard y soul s studying. Be on guard when unsought publicity is offered you .

Th en we have the rash of pre-initiation stories almost annu ally. Whil e the e roo t commonly have to do with men's fraternitie , we must realize that each such tory casts discredit upon the entire fraternity y tern .

Sometimes th ese stories report reall y eriou inju ry to a pledge or horseplay that ill becomes a coll ege group. The e epi ode rna or may not be true but if they are, the are the result of thoughtlessne on the part of a very small number of u nd ergradu ate who do not realize that the whole fraternity system will suffer for their rash acts. Ther fore, all National Councils of both men' and wom en's groups a re trongly urging the el imin ation of " H ell W eek."

I have been pleased to ee the report of several m en's fra ternitie hanging 'H ell W eek" to "H elp W eek" in which community service is carried out by the pledge . Alpha T au Omega is one of the fraternitie that has been a leader in this- having fi rst in tituted H elp W eek at its U niversi ty of India na chapter. The idea is spreading over our campu bringing with it a flood of favorable pre ( CONTIN

t THE many a lumnae in the De troit area were much surprised and deeply grieved to hear about the death of Clara C . Hicks who passed away July 29 in D eaconess Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio. Funera l se rvices were held in Cleveland and burial wa in Burbank, California.

Clara was initia ted into Alpha Chapter F ebru a ry 12, 1921. After gradu a tion she began teaching in W yandotte, Mi chigan, and continued th ere until her dea th . She a t first taught hi story and la ter beca me librarian in the junior high chool. Besid es her degree from Yp ilanti she al o received her M as ter' s degree from Ohio State University and studi ed library work at W ay ne University in D etroit.

She was a member of the M etropolita n Church in D etroit and was a Girl Scout leader for many years.

While Clara was a student a t Ypsil anti, she li ved a t th e home of Ad a A. orton .

Mis Norton wa ver y fond of Clara and trea ted her as a d aughter. Clara spent many

weekends and vacation with Mis 1 orton, watching after her health a nd aring for h r home. At the nationa l co nv ntion in D etroit, Clara brought a b a utiful portrait of Miss Norton which she show d th m mbcrs a t the farewell luncheon.

Clara was a devoted orority m mb r and was alway loyal to it a tiviti e . Gri f at the pa sing of our sorority i ter i de p and . incere, yet it does not bring th e depart d back to us.

;\; M EMBERS of Alpha Sigm a T au a t Mi chigan Sta te. orma l College, Ypsilanti, Michigan, are proud to belong to the Alpha Chapter. H owever the city of Ypsilanti eems to cause m any people trouble a nd it doe n' t seem to be the type of problem the gi rls can rem ed y as the roo t lies in people ca ttered throughou t the U nited Sta te .

Of all of Michiga n' towns there i n't one tha t has a more a bused na me tha n the city of Ypsil anti. M ost persons ca n't pronounce it, let alone spell it.

T o m ake it easier to follow thi story it's 路 ip-si-lanti, not yip-si-lanta.

Employe of th e local postoffi ce once kept track of th e spellings of Ypsil anti on letter .

During a six-month pe riod they fo und ixtyfi ve vari a tions.

There was the phonetic speller who wrote it " ipsalanti e," and the traditionalist who referred to it as " Ippes L and ing."

One spell ed it " Syp ssill ianty," another

" W ypsorlanter," and a mo t am azing effort wa " I ep L antice." Others wrote : Epsolynny, Epcilantia, E plon ay, Epoilan te, E.Ypcaluntia, whil e oth er tuck with "Y." Yulom tice, Yp eylan tia, Yp i-I -L andtine, Ypi ylvania, Ipsileindi, I p lo ty, I p i lanta, Ibcelandie, Lp eland, Li pslantic and L p ylanta, Wipsilanti and Wippislandu .

T here are, no doubt ti me when po tal em ployes wish the town had been named Woodruff' Grove W aterville or Palmyra.

Tho e were nam e ugge ted a t the time the community was fo unded.

H owever, the town wa nam ed not fo r an Indi an chief, a many thi nk, but for a Greek genera l nam ed D em etriu Ypsilanti.

Pittenger Student Center and the home economics department wing of the Practica l Arts Building, several rooms in the Ad Building are getting a general fa ce lifting.

Already one may follow the outline of the walls of the Student Center and find the large game room across the front. the cafeteria on the east side, and the potential position of th e main entrance of the northwest corner.

The big ditch in the middl e of Univer ity avenu e is part of an undeJ;"ground tunnel connecting th e Center with the Ad Building.

The building will h ave three floors, - including the ground fl oor. On th e first floor will be the ballroom and banquet hall. . It will have a stage a t one end, accommodations for 380 persons and will seat about 660 for performances. Also included on this floor will be a large lounge. priva te dining room , offices and tudents' exch ange.

The second floor will have activity rooms,

a faculty lounge, and a noth r priva t dinin g room.

Onl y one third of the v ntu a l C nter is being built now. Future plans call for xtending the building across Co li gc av nu a nd T a ll y street.

The constru cti on of th home onomics depa rtment wing is a bout on schedul . Soon the walls will be added thu making it po sible to work through th e winter. This building i expected to be omp leted by th e fa ll qu arter of 1952 . 路 In addition to painting th halls and room of th e Ad Building, n w offic s hav eith r bee n compl ted or nearl y comp leted in the we t end of the basement.

Your fraternity's national officers, along with those from all other fraterniti es, are deeply concerned with the presence of communists or communist sympathizers on many of our university campuses today. They are aware of the calcul a ted and in idious way these people infiltrate stud ent organizations, getting themselves elected to offic;es where they can then control a vast amount of power.
