The mind is like a kaleidoscope-and yet- bit by bi t- certain images form ; and, in the remembering, another dimension is added to the pl easure of the actual experience. One remembers especially contrasts: contrasts in roads, in temperature, water, trees, mountains, rock form a tions, people. A vacationing motorist notices-perh aps first- the roads .. . the wide, smooth, straight road of a Turner Turnpike; the long, tedious, dusty-bumpy, tar-smelling detours; roads through the desert, and the relief of " D esert Center" with its ice cream bar and ice water ; roads that climb up and up and around in Yosemite National Park with signs saying "slow" ... "sharp curve" . . . "one way" . .. "sound your horn" ; roads cut in the side of the cliff in the Buffalo Bill country of Wyoming ; roads through nothing ; roads on high , cattle-grazing plateaus and through rich farming lands; and then the " home stretch" road back in the Hoosier State. . Important too is the temperature with its extremes of hea twhite hea t-sizzling heat-stiflng heat in the desert and the winds tha t burn- and then the blessed coolness of mountain gu ts and ocean breezes and the sight of w at er . .. or the lack of it. (How did our forefath ers survive the crossing of tha t wide expanse from the Missi ippi to the Pacific ? I tak my ha t off to grea t-granddad!) There were th rivers dried up completely through the parched outhwest. Yet we aw water . . .

Women) are mentioned . Last year when there was a choice between two girls, her grade index was an influencing factor in the choice. After pledging, our pledge trainer, scholarship chairman, and advisory board scholarship chairman took over. The pledges' grades路were checked periodically by all three of these officers, and cutting of classes was held a t a minimum by them ( this also held true with upperclassmen). Quiet hours throughout the day and evenings with a "closed door" poli cy were observed ; and many signs appeared on door , saying, " Please don' t di turb, sister - tomorrow's test day !" The scholarship chairman had a file of cl ass cards, containing a record of all the courses the girl had taken, her grades in each course, and a schedule of her pre ent classes for that semester. This filing system is still being used. The pa t class records were used in coun eling orne pledge (or active) in any troublesome course. Class schedule were used in the periodic checkin~ of test grades, and also for conflict for attend ance at 4:00 o'clock rush parties. A vital part of Alpha Chi's extensive scholarship program i the mother-daughter sys tem, in which the mother (or " big si ter" ) helps her sorority pledge daughter find help with her studies, check with her about her grade , and sugge t helpful hints on studying. Thi program can go as far as to stud together nightly, but the whole system is u p to the individual mother and her daughter, for them to use their di cretion in deciding the course to follow . Shhhh, don't tell, but occasionally we find our " daughters" helping their "mothers" with their homework ! The rewards of all thi campaigning on scholarship are the campu chola tic rating

Selection and Pledge Training" is one of the topics on which college chapters have been contributing their ideas this year for use in our magazine. Many chapters have responded with features on that subject, the four deemed best being reprinted below. All chapters are urged to read them for the suggestions they make and the viewpoints they express. Typical of ideas expressed on the subject were the e: "Our reasoning is that if a girl applies herself and is succe sful in scholarship, he is very likely to do well in other fields also."- Wanda Bash, D elta, University of Illinois. . . . " If a girl works diligently and receives for th at work the highes t marks she is capable of, then she has done her part. Anything below that is poor scholarship." Povy Lafarge, Beta Gamma, Colorado State. . . . " A girl who has many activities and average cholarship ' is also an asset, but one who sacrifices scholarship for activities is always questionable." - Barbara Cole, Beta Phi, Pennsylvania State.

Purdue's Scholarship Campaign Results in Campus Record Bv Juov KIRKPATRICK Alpha Chi, Purdue University Just as every Phi Beta Kappa isn't an Einstein, so every Theta isn't a genius. However, beginning with the 1951-52 rush season here at Purdue, the Alpha Chi Thetas began a campaign to select pledges with aboveaverage grades and to raise and maintain a high scholarship level within the chapter. We began with rush . During the formal rush season, when we eliminate many girls in 0ne sh0rt period of time, the rushee's grades (as released from the office of the Dean of

and the annual chapter scholarship banquet. This past spring, the Alpha Chi Theta pledges (initiated this November) received the Junior Panhellenic cup for having the highest index of any sorority pledge class; and the chapter placed first in the all-campus rating, setting an all-time high record. At the scholarship banquet this past November, annual awards were presented-including the "Improvement Ring" and the individual scholarship award and thf: pledge class scholarship plaque. The incentive was great enough that the girl having the highes t index had a 6.0 (equivalent to "A" plus) index. Thus we see Alpha Chi Thetas in action on the scholarship band-wagon. It rolled to first place in the campus race this past year; and with plenty of intelligent new pledges this February, it should keep on coming in at the winning place.

Tulsa Emphasizes Importance of Good Examples BY MARY Lou FosTER Gamma Tau , Tulsa University When a Theta writes or thinks about scholarship she is usually referring to grades, but true scholarship exceeds this definition. Scholarship is an ideal, a state of mind. It is the basic reason for going to college. It is an objective to strive toward . Scholarship is the a ttempt to learn, the intelligent Theta's effort a t improving herself and her chapter. Scholarship develops an invaluable sense of responsibility. As each member works at achieving the desired grade average, so every girl feels her part is important. A sense of per onal pride, pride in other Thetas, and pride in the chapter is gained from working toward the common goal. While each Theta is painting her portion of the raising-of-thegrades picture she wants to raise h er own sta ndard higher. The scholarship of every Theta influences the whole chapter. The goal which is more important than "m e" teaches cooperation and obligation; therefore scholarship is es-

sential for membership. The girl who cannot or does not make her grades has not learned why she is in college. She will hinder the whole chapter. However, scholarship, while a basic requirement, is not the only requirement. The qualities of friendliness, helpfulness, high moral and social responsibility are as important as schol arship. All go to complete the well-rounded Theta. Pledge training is a perfect opportunity to develop good study habits, show the importance of scholarship, and set a high standards of grade . Pledges should realize from the beginning that maintaining a high grade average is one of the most important ways of proving their loyalty to their sorority. The new Theta should be taught that study hours are not a punishment nor a method of pledge hazing but a real help. Members must be a good example because the pledges will respond as easily to a bad example as to a good one. The memory of a member who slept through a class or turned in a la te term paper remains with a pledge longer than the pledge trainer's talk about proper study a ttitude. M embers can. give the pledges a sense of achievement and responsibility. Seeing ability in a member, a pledge becomes aware of her own duty to the sorority and herself. R espect for the efforts of the members as a whole is th e incentive to a high pledge grade average.

Attitude Toward Schola rship Gets Attention 路at Rollins BY SARA WHITTEN Gamma Gamma, R ollins College In electing girls as pro pective Thetas, it i most important that we consider scholarship and look for tho e girls who will undertand the importance of triving for good scholarship and will in turn be a credit to our fraternity . Thi does not alwa s mean the girl who came from high chool " ith a straight "A" average, but rather the o-irl who

THE ANCHOR will apply herself to coll ege life and b ea rne t in h er efforts to learn. As soon as a girl becomes a pledge, she takes on, in addition to responsibility to herself, a duty to the fraternity. W e feel tha t this added respon ibility will strengthen the girl' attitude and therefore m ake her a better person and a better fra terni ty member. Schol astic competition plays a la rge role in coll ege life. In being a pledge, a girl realize tha t she mu t m a ke pecific grade in order to become a member, a nd in being a member she al o feels stimul a ted to help maintain the sta nda rd of her cha pter on the ca mpu . W e feel tha t a ba ic pa rt of pl edge training sho.u ld contain honest efforts to m ake th e girls a wa re of these goa ls. Some of the practice which our cha pter employs a re as foll ows: Weekl y stud y halls for all pledges a nd additional study halls for those whose grades a re not up to sta nd a rd. As igning a "Big Sister" to each pl edge who is to be a guiding h a nd in h elping the girl realize where she is falling down a nd assisting with the promo tion of good study h abits. K eeping tab on the grade of all m embers a nd presenting an award a t the end of each qua rter to the girl with the highes t average. We have a sepa ra te trophy for the highest ra nking pledge. W e all rea lize tha t one of the m ain critici m s of fra ternities is the poor schol a rship sta nding which som e of the groups h a ve; therefore, it is up to us who have the privilege of fra ternity m embership to stress the role of schola rship in our m embership selection and pledge-training progra m to the extent that it will be evident to all. W e want Thetas to rank high in ever ything and it h as been demonstrated over a nd over th a t those who maintain high schol a rship will usu ally lead in other fields.

Penn's Aim Is Balance Between Social and Academic Bv CoNNIE NoRRIS Beta Eta, U niversity of Pennsylvania In our schola r hip manu al w r ad the lines, " The intellectu al a mbition of th fra ternity shall be the a tta inm ent of th h igh est chola rship." As our educa tion is our pu rpo e for com ing to college, we shou ld .keep our cholar hip goals foremos t in our mind when we ta ke on the responsibili ty of belonging to a fra ternity. In choosing our membership, it is easy to judge a girl by h r socia l poise a nd personality, but we m u t rem ember th a t a girl who does not thi nk of her education seriously a nd who doe not meet the uni ver ity stand ards of atisfactory schola rship ca nnot con tri bute anythi ng to th e fra ternity. 路 Although we ca nnot know too much about the scholastic a bility of new student who pledge fra ternity, the period of pledge training p rovides an ideal ti me for stres upon the importa nce of college wo rk in its rela tion to fra ternity. It is well for student to be in consta nt contact with a group such as a fraternity in which there is consta nt concern a bout method of study a nd the atta inm nt of a t least a n average standi ng in chool grading. During pledge train ing each girl i required to record her grade in the fra ternity notebook o th a t she, a well a those already ini tia ted , ca n be aware of her chol a tic standing. Thus tutoring may be provided if necessa ry a nd the girl who h a not been taking h er work eriously find s tha t he mu t rea lize her cli ff ulty a nd correct it if he i to be accepted . R eal problem s of chola r h ip a re h andled ca refully a nd seriou ly o that the fra ternity ocial life will not interfere with a girl 's need for tudy. A pledge lea rn a very importa nt le son du ring tra ining a nd this foll ow through in her whole college career of fra ternity life : that the ocial aspects of her life may bala n e bu t m u t never over hadow the academic goal wh ich are constantly before h er.- R eprinted from the Kappa Alpha Theta .

Eleanor Matthews

Bv Crssv W ELCH, Upsilon ;\; W E have all hea rd freshman girls say, " Sure, a orority is fin e the four years in college but what good will it do me la ter on?" H ere are a few answers I always give. A orority will h elp a young girl grow into a woman pleasantly a nd gracefull y. A sorority will help a young girl stay in touch with God a nd keep practicing all the lesson ta ught by her parents after she i away from her parents' guidance. If a orority girl will live up to the idea ls of her sorority whil e he is in college, the rules for a good , wholesome life ca nnot help but become so much a part of her tha t for the res t of h er life they are constantly with h er. A sorori ty, as all sorority girls know, is more than a social organization. It' a big, wonderful family that throws a warm, friendly glow over all its members- a glow tha t gives selfconfid ence a nd poise; two qualities that are

Wh~

so essential to beautiful womanhood . No girl wants to be a wa llfl ower and a sorority usuall y tries to see to it that she isn't. Social life is important, fitting into a certa in group is im porta nt, a nd being popular a nd appr iated is important. All of u xp ct to be leader a nd good citizen in the ommunity in which we li ve. Abov all , a girl wants to be a good moth er, a mother who is tactful a nd gracious to her child 's guests a nd sees tha t in her hom e everyone feels comple tely at ease a nd welcome. A girl who a sume responsibility in a orority, th a t in turn is active on the campus, cannot keep from being better prepared for life. Too, nothing could be more pricele than the everlasting friendships made in a sorority. Yes, we all have many answer for tha t fre hman girl's question, "What good will a sorority do me later on after college ?"

J Plelrd

_A~ha Stfjma 'Jau did or did not like about each girl and I could not think of a n Alpha Sigma Tau member whom I did not like very much. Thi was not true in the other orority. To each of the members of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority their sweetheart ong eemed to mea n omething deep and per onal. It ' a not just a nother song. The fact that each member of this sorority is ati fi ed in her sorority is shown by h er eagerne to work for her own group, a nd by that smile of happiness tha t i alway on her face. Thi feeling I wanted also and I have found it in the ALPHA SrGMA T Au SoRORITY.

;\; I PLEDGED Alpha Sigma T a u sorority only after much deliberation. I visited several sororities as much as the Alpha Sigma T a u, one in particular, and tried to eva lua te them equally. What did I want from a sorority? A beautiful house ? NO! I wanted a friendly group of girls that I would be proud to call my sisters. I wanted a group of sisters who have the same high ideals that I have, a group who would share my troubles as well as my joys.

The loyalty and fun of that founding crowd whose extracurricular activities centered largely around 路 the chafing dish, I have found again and again down through the years wherever Alpha Sigma Tau sisters meet. I have been asked to tell you something of what it means to m e to find new friends in Alpha Sigma Tau. Once I crossed the continent traveling from Michigan to the State of Washington and because of the deep interest of one of our first sponsors, Mrs. Effie Lyman, who was ever alert to the whereabouts of our growing alumnae, I enjoyed the companionship of several of our members there. Then I returned to Michigan and membership in the large and very active D etroit Club. H ere was the same quality of freely given, loyal friendship. And then there was Flint. There was no organized alumnae club, and I m issed the regularly scheduled D etroit meetings. I was teaching at the time, and on the faculty of the public school where I taught was

Eloise Howe with whom I had much in common, but it was nearly a year before her pin identified her as an Alpha Sigma Tau, and we wondered simulta neously, "What shall we do about it?" It is good to think that we had something to do with the start.ing of the Flint Alumnae Club. But I must not forget another important, although brief fraternal a ociation along the way. My mother's illness necessitated my stay in Roches ter, Minnesota, for a period, and a orority sister of our whose hu band was on the medical staff at Mayo's wa warmly ho pitable during a time that might otherwi e have been lonely and difficult. In 1947, it wa not ea y to say "good bye" to my friends in the Flint Club when I crossed the continent again to make my home -my permanent home-on the West Coast. It wa di appointing to discover that there was no Alpha Sigma T au Alumnae Club in the San Franci co Bay Area. I've mi ed that special sen e of belonging-that continuity of intere t and friendship that ha always been o much a part of our fraternal association . Always, and down through the years. And so with the beginning of an Alumnae Club in Lo Angele there i a surance once more of "All Sister Together."

The v1ews ex pres ed in the above para-

years has been phenomenal in its intensity and broadness, with more tha n 600 cha pters, placed on 209 campuses, by fifty-four member fraternities of National Interfraternity Conference. Since 1948, NIC fraternities have been welcom ed to forty campuses where none had operated before. These facts provide an effective answer to critics and deplorers of the fraternity concept; they indicate that fraterniti es h ave been making their worth evident to school administrators and students alike.

odds in a ny game- but consider tha t in thi instance fifty-two stands for the number of known communists or subversive student organizations operating on the campuses today - and the one tands for the only known student organization dedicated to fighting communist infiltra tion on the student level, and to furthering the American Way of Life.

As we stood in the Apollo Room in the R aleigh T a vern re-li ving th e experience of the five young stud ents of Willi a m a nd M a ry Coll ege who h ad met there in that room in the year J 776 to form th e first Greek letter fraternity, it became quite clea r tha t the secrecy which was so necessary to their m eetings would not have been implicit if they had been ju t a group of congenial friend s seeking enjoyment in discussing literary ma tters a nd inspiration for h igh ideals.

The names of the fifty-two are listed in the fil es of the Attorney General of the United Sta tes and the congressional investigating 路committee . (See "100 Things You Should Know About Communism" prepa red a nd released by the Committee on Un-American Activities, U . S. House of R epresentatives.) The name of the ONE student organization is the STUDENTS FoR AM ERICAh eaded by Robert Munger of Los Angeles, a tudent at the University of Southern Californi a. This organization's aims and purposes have been made the subj ect of a senatorial report to the Sena te and been recorded in the Congressional R ecord. Do you find this ratio of 52-1 frightening a nd alarming? As fraternity members-whose side are we on? Are we unwittingly giving S'lpport to som e of these fifty-two organizations through fuzzy thinking or so-called liberal a nd idealistic beliefs? As fraternity m embers- why should we be more concerned a bout this trend tha n other students? Perhaps I can m a ke the answer more m eaningful if I tell you how vividly the concept of fraternity as a patriotic organization came to m e. It was in Colonial Williamsburg where m embers of National Panhellenic and Interfraternity Conference had

The secrecy was nece sary becau e the e student wanted most of all to discuss the thrilling a nd controversial events of their day. R emember that the nation wa onl y six months old, the D eclarati on of Independence was a document of momentous portent ; there were issues of the gravest concern to the people of the new country. R emember also tha t the Constitution and The Bill of Rights were not yet formulated- but the thinking which was to form the basis for American political a nd social right and privilege , was being done by the studen ts and the educated people. Freedom of a sociation, freedom of peech, freedom of press, etc., as we now have them were not yet realized and in the cia rooms of William and M ary College, the Ma ter still did the teaching- withou t d i cu ion which was forbidd en with expul ion the penalty. So, in order to di cu s and argue the e vital issu es, it was necessary to leave the campus and to m eet in ecret in the village inn. The early minutes of Phi Beta Kappa record the interest with which the member di cussed in a thoroughly democratic way the political a nd social problems of their count ry. 21

;\; ALPHA SIGMA TAu, along with everal other sororities at T emple University, has a new lease on life-a PANHEL Hou sE. For years we have been without a defini te meeting place, and for years we have been crying to the faculty about it. This year they took pity on us and remodeled an old dorm into a sparkling new Panhel H ouse. On the first floo r of the house is a lounge and kitchen used by all members. Then, on the second floor, there is a Ceremonial R oom. H ere, each sorority can hold its pledgings and initiations. The re t of the house is composed of private rooms for each sorority. These rooms can be furni hed a nd decora ted any way the individual sorority wishes. We have chosen a room painted a delicate shade of pink. With this, we have a deep brown rug and slip covers of a blending color. Our meeting will be held here and we can use the room between classes for study or recrea tion. Having this room at the Panhel H ouse, we feel we can build L ambda into a bigger and better chapter, and in this way we will be building for a bigger and better Alpha Sigma T au. -Gv.rE N KELLY.

THis year Sigma members held their sorority cottage at Sunset Bay from June 5-15. Thirty sorority sisters packed their summer clothes for one week at the beach. We rented two cottages and ate in th~ larger one with the wood burning fireplace. Our chaperons were Mrs. H elen Stebbens, Mrs . Doris Bald, and Miss Carolyn Doleman. The chaperons had a week of leisure, for the girls divided up all the chores. The cooks were : Barbara Leggett, Peggy Wild, June Getman, Dolores Bald, and Christine Kwiatkowski, who was chairman of foods. Some girls came prepared with lunches because th ey did not think they would be fed . They were surprised however with chicken, ham, and roast beef. No~ for some of the events that happened at sorority cottage. Peggy Wild tripped over a small stone, and threw her ankle out of place, she is still bandaged.

We had a joint party with Sig T a u frat rnity. To end a wand rful w k w had a wiener roast with dates on Sa turd ay, Jun 13. One of th e boys had a mandolin and another had a harmonica, and we sat aro und the fire singing. A good time was had by all , who hope next year we can hav sorority cottage for two weeks. A summer picnic was plann d for August 9. It was held at J ean R yckm an's ottage at Silver Bay in Canada . We had a downpour of rain so the party was held indoor .

us. Bobbie Assaid, D ee Steger, Mary Alice Ellington, Roberta Hamlet, and Johanna Biddlecomb liked Longwood so much last year, they decided to come back for the summer session. But Martha Donaldson, Marlene Lucas, Stepha nie Bauder, Bettye M aas, and Molly Ann Harvey decided to be ca reer girls for the summer . Ma ry Rogers Button took off for N ew M exico where she had a n extend ed vaca tion. When we rushed up to the room after we a rrived back on the campu , we found a wondeful surprise next door. A kitchen for all the ororities h ere a t school has long been a hope a nd dream of the Pa nhell enic Council. Due to the Council of the yea r 195253, and to the Coll ege, our dream wa realized! The kitchen and cabinets a re p ainted a pale blue. Incidentally, we h ave eight cabinets-one for each sorority here a t Longwood . We also have a sink, stove, a nd two ironing boa rds, and we hope to h ave a refrigera tor in the near future. We rea lly plan to take adva ntage of this kitchen'cause we all love that "home cookin' ."

With thi beautiful n ew kitchen righ t next door to us, we were hit with the idea to make a few improvement in our room . We hope to buy a new coffee table, a drop leaf ta ble, a nd odds and ends uch as picture , a ming garden, and ta ble lighter .

THE ANC HOR in one corner of the room . S vera) pictures a nd a few multicolored sca ttered rugs just about drew the picture. We decided to go really modern and redecora te our sorority room. H ere's wha t happened . First, we consulted several second-hand furniture stores for the best prices pos ible, a nd we sold all our furniture except the sofa. We were very fortun a te to have a local interior decora tor to help u with our selections. Several pieces of furniture were purchased "on sale." Our new furniture is blonde oak. We purchased a drop leaf table a t which the president presides a nd a three-sectional chest. The dra wers, trimmed with p ale rose leather, provide plenty of room for books a nd supplies. W e selected a trophy case, lined with the rose leather, to hold a vast number of awards (our room is only one optimistic fea ture) ! T win beds were covered with solid gray upholstery ma terial, trimmed in a h armonizing designed m a terial. These beds resemble sofas, giving plenty of room for the girls to sit during meetings. A ch air was also covered with the m a tching designed m aterial. Several pillows of every size, sha pe, a nd color were scattered informally over the sofas. About the m os t modernistic feature is the huge p ale green shell sha ped lamp with m a tching shade which was pl aced on a black painted table between the sofas. M edium green fi sh net draperies were hung in the windows. The walls were p ainted a cream color, a nd several old, but substantial wooden chairs were painted cream a nd green. A few harmonizing vases which had been stored away were pl aced on the tables. Several scatter rugs were dyed a m a tching green . Our p roject was fin a nced by selling the old furniture, assessing four-doll a r "summer dues" from each m ember, and selling sandwich es in the dormitories. Several m embers contributed paint, pillows, rugs, etc. It was a delight to see sorority sisters cooperate together in such a worthwhile task. All the labor was furnished by sorority m embers-walls painted, curtains, pillows, a nd furniture covers m ade.

" WE'RE off to college camp!" And away we rolled in the college bus to celebrate local Founders' Day with the last big "shindig" of the year. As soon as food and girls had arrived and had been unloaded, we gathered on the front porch to join in a song contes t.

After the contest Shirley Crawford was presented with her award as Psi's Top Tau. Then we all adjourned to the dining room and kitchen for our Founders' Day dinner. When dinner was over and the stacks of dishes washed, several of the more ambitiou hiked to a nearby town. Others played bridge, sang, read magazines, or listened to stories told by "Doc" Latimer. On Sunday we played bridge, swam, boated, ate, and then played more bridge a we basked in the spring sun. Two new members were added to Psi's roll early in second semester.

Alpha Taus, the Alpha D elta Chapter has made big plans to acquire some new fraternal sisters. We began our "campaign" early last summ er by writing letters of welcome to girls who were interested in a ttending Southwest Missouri State College, on which campus we are located. W e introduced them to the ideals and aims of our organization ; told them we would be glad to hear from them by letter, or by phone if they were in town sometime; and promised to show them the campus and help them through registration. Those who answered seemed to appreciate our interest. On the evening of August 7, we had our summer rush party at the home of vice president, Shirley Thompson. Ru hees were e corted to the patio where Barbara Pettigrew, rush chairman, pinned a name tag, in hape of a diamond, hea rt, club, or spade, on each rushee.

;\; WE started our year by a ttending the Panhellenic luncheon which was held a t the Masonic T emple in Beckley, West Virginia. It was a lovely affair, a nd it was encouraging to have several alumnae and guests present. The girls have been very busy this urnmer. Mrs. Norval (H elen ) Cook attended both semesters at Concord . Mrs. Edward (Theda ) Radford received her degree, and Ida Pitotti had a lovely vacation in the west. We were very sad when three of our group moved. Mrs. Walter J.

Lucille Vento is teaching in Ohio, and Ruth Combs Civizic is teaching in Clifton Forge, Virginia. M rs .

;t. WITH a record enrollment of 3,321 in the

fall of '5 3, the largest in the history of the school and a 12 per cent increa e over last year, the prediction that we'll reach the 6 000 mark with the influx of the wa r babies b~ 1960 does not seem too remote. The physica l facilities of the college have been grea tly improved with the opening of the home economics and business edu ca tion units of the Practical Arts Building. Carpenters a re busy converting the interior of the old yellow-bricked Ad to take care of the needed expansion of the offices, Science H all is also being remodeled, and contracts h ave been awarded for the addition to the Library. In the administra tive and in tructional branches of the college, Alpha Sigma T au is trying to do its bit. We believe our sorority holds the record for staff appointmen t 路 on this cam pus, and perhap on any other campu , too, with the following Alpha T aus in the positions indicated : Nell Young, sec retary to the president ; Thelma Humphrey, secretary to the director of men's activities; Jo Sharbak, newly-a ppointed director of North Hall, a women's residence hall ; Wanda Stephens (who was graduated in '53 along with Jo ), employed in the music department as a gradua te as istant ; Evelyn Luecking, assistant professor of education in the laboratory school ; Frances Botsford , recently returned from the west coas t, employed as associate professor emeritus of business education for the fall quarter ; Ethel Himelick, assistant treasurer. Do you know of any other college having as many Alpha Taus on its staff? In April' the alumna e group was entertained a t the home of Mi s Grace D eHority with the special fea ture for the evening being the white elephant and bake sa le. ( Would you like a mobile?

;\; BEFORE most of th e St. Louis Alumnae could get away on various trips- far and wide-we had a family affair. It was a combination picnic and swimming party, in July, at H edenkamp's R esort. It was quite different from anything we have had a nd it was quite successful. The fragrance of bacon being grilled on a barbecue pit in Forest Park welcomed m a ny of us to our annual Fall Breakfast, which was held in September. Tending to the delicious food were Viola King, Rosalie Wones, lisa Simpson, and Elizabeth Wilson. The talking around the breakfast table seemed more like a travelogue, what with the girls talking of their visits to such places as Y ellowstone Park, New York, and even Europe. Right now in the offing are the Collegiate Rush Parties and Founders' Day BanquetLILLIAN ScHACHTER.

As usu al we pl a n to send clothing an d supplies to the children at Pine M ountain. At our O ctober meeting we tried our luck at rolling band ages for the Ca ncer Dressi ng Sta tion . In November we look forwa rd to our Founders' Day Banquet in Al exa ndria, which is always an enjoyabl e evening. Some of our members have received honors which also brings h onor to the Ch apter. Alice Coon Stiles wa elected vice pre ident of the Pa nhellenic Associa tion of Washington, an honor of which we are ju tly proud . On M ay 14, of this year, the Pa nhell enic A sociation had as its guests four French girls, who are now students in va rious American coll ege . Mrs. Eisenhower rece ived the girls at the White Hou e, along with a n honor guard of two hundred fifty officer and representatives of fraternities a nd ororities in the Washington area, which make up the Panhellenic A ociation. Those girls representing our sorority were Doro th y Gae , Kathleen K elchner, Mada Ray Sewell , and Alice Coon Stile 路. We a re all hoping this will become an a nnual event here.
