Sorority Loyalty to Alma Mater By GERTRUDE D . PEABODY Phi Mu , Phi Kappa Phi, Kappa D elta Pi from THE SPHINX of Phi Sigma Sigma

;\; As A COLLEGE ADMINISTRATO~ I personally am "all for" college sororities. I feel that they a re pa rticularly valuable in an urba n university. After that statement it seems logical to quote the following excerpt from Walter Manning's articl regarding Greek societies as it appeared in the INDIANAPOLIS STAR. "As for the snobbishness, I find most sorority and fraternity members far less snobbish than many of the so-cal led intellectual groups on the campus. In fact my experience has led me to believe that m embership in a fraternity makes one more fri endly, less snobbish, and much better equipped in social graces. "Today on the typical campus there would be no 'college spirit' without the sororities and fraternities. They are the only groups that can be counted on to do things for charity, to decorate for special affairs, to furnish willing hands and hearts for a whole variety of campus activities. R ecently a college president said to me, 'I do not know how our college could operate without the fraternities and sororities. They are the only groups I can a lways count on to get things done.' " Perhaps we are growing up as a nation and changes are needed in sorority and fraternity life. Yet, I believe that any fair analysis of these organizations, as they are, would cause most parents to say 'yes' to a son or da ughter who sought m embership. "We need spirit, and especially the volunteer spirit, in America- fraternities and sororities breed and sponsor both. " This is high praise and I concur in it. At the same time I recognize that sororities have weaknesses to which attention is called quite sensa tionally from time to time. I suspect tha t those who ta lk most of these weaknesses are folk who have experienced personal hurt from college rushing or are idea lists who

envision a social order of such a completely " democra tic" nature that all subjectively elective groups would be eliminated. One wonders wha t would happen to the institution of m arriage and even of free election, in that Utopia! Som etimes groups fail the colleges which gave them birth and we see the sad (and happily rare) instances when Greek societies are elimina ted from the campus scene. That type of thing should never be held over panhellenic or interfraternity councils as a threat but it is a sobering thought that such action is always a potential when group standards are incompatible with college standards or activities embarrass or undermine a coll ege program. I h ave selected for discussio n six responsibilities of sorority women to the universi ty. Number 1 is rather general. A sorori ty must accept responsibility for close cooperation with the college which gave it birth. At the risk of being misunderstood, I develop this point by noting the danger of putting a "national's" direction ah ead of the college's requirements. The sorority scene calls for a dual loyalty, but so do many things in life. It is important to remember that a sorority is a social group within a college and that its "national" came into being on ly because separate units, or chapters, recognized that ge tting together provides strength for effective action a nd inspiration in the excha nge of ideas. R emember, too, that national affiliation is effected only with the approval of every co llege represented . I am confident that it is the intent, and I pray that it shall ever be so, that whenever there is a sorority issuÂˇe on a campu a national should study the situation a objectively as possible a nd scrupulously avoid putting a ch apter at odds with its mother college. There are surely times when it is difficult to see r eason in a situ ation but th Âˇ " reasons" should be hea rd fairly and int r-

THE ANCHOR

preted to the chapter with infinite care. A comparable example is that of a university dean who encounters a painful strain between parents and a daughter. Regardless of where her sympathy lies, the position of both principals must be studied and interpreted to both sides, but authority must be supported unl ess it is illegal or outrageously wrong . Th e whole situation is a little like the chi cken a nd the egg argument. Which came or comes first does not particularly ma tter, for we ca nnot have a chicken without an eg? a nd we cannot have an egg without a ch1cken and to have a good chicken we must have a good breed line behind it! Co~nparably we cannot have good nationals w1 thout good cha pters or good chapters without good colleges. All th ese units if playing in tune, can be pa rt of a very wonderful edu cational ventu re.

Poin t 2 is a plea tha t the orority should keep uppermost and feature more than is ordinari ly the practi ce, the basic reasons for comi ng to college- namely academic emphasis and p rofessional advancement. Of course th ere is a pl ace in college life for fra ternity sweethearts and carnival queens a nd ou tsta nding seni or li sts, but wha t do we d o to enco u rage superi or chol arship and to show our p rid e in ou r good students and those who go into fin e position ? Do we make our rushee w ant to work hard to Q ualify ( I pel! th at with a capital Q ) for membership ? D o we make our current members p ro ud and happy individu ally, that they are resp onsibl e for pulling up the chapter's aca dem ic averages? How do we do it? - by tribu tes at regular meetings?- by recognition a t the a nnual banqu et ?- by honor rolls in th e chapter or by introductions in warm a nd persona l terms at rush dinners? How we do it is easily enough worked out, but that w e do it is important. It is high time that we became proud of good scholarship a nd tha t glorying over a good status in the panh ellenic grad e scale and the all women's average becomes an annual satisfaction. Also I hope that attention to tfine professional placem ent and advancement of our members is emphasized more by our local chap-

ters rather than I aving it all to our na ti ona l magazines. Point 3 urges th e chapters to pu sh a !itt! harder on the enrichment of every member's total educa tion . It is very importa nt th at individual talents or potenti a liti es for ta len t be developed whil e th e student is in college and to see th a t those tal ents a nd skill s a re felt in the college as well as in th e cha pter. Too often individual "lights" a re hidd n und er the ch a pter's "bush el"- to resort to scriptural similes. I am thinking of such things as musica l tal ents, speaking ability, a genius for social planning, skill and experience in politics, a background of foreign living or travel to enrich the foreign studen t program, a thletic ability or artistic facility. 路 So we could go through the gamut of innum erable ways in which individu als make fin e chapters but whi ch can be golden opportunities to ti e chapters to their colleges and through whi ch the colleges feel prideful appreciati on for the soro rity . Too often I as a dean, am forced to write a recommendation for a student where I can only answer th e "ex tracurricular" questions with the sta tement, " She was an active member of so ar. cl so sorori ty." As a T empl e University dean, I could tell the girls of a chapter where and how to steer their " diamonds" into the T empl e University "acre" and so could every clea n of women back of every individual chapter! D o con ult those officers if there are uncertainti es as to how to broaden your members' experience. Point 4 is an appeal to support en m asse the genera l programs and proj ects of your universities. Go in a group or pa ir up with a fra ternity group (it by the way is fine publicity to do so ) to such things as concerts, plays, assembli es, exhibitions, a thl etic events, carnivals, teas, receptions, or annua l dinners and oth ers of the innumerable all-university or general invitation affairs into which so much tim e and money is poured . All the e are part of every norma l year a t college and, just as much if not more than the intimacy of sorority life, form the great body of memories which is referred to as "college experience ." Point 5 is possiby the one which I wish to stress most earnestly- namely that sorority women must be pace setters or standard

setters in social grace and in high moral and ethical integrity on each campus. It is rarely comfortable to recognize ourselves as " brother keepers" or as influences for good upon a campus, but who is to do this thing if not the sorority and fraternity personnel? Within our ch apters' idealism, drill in social deportment and moral responsibility are eternally emphasized. Our rituals are full of this sort of thing and we take solemn vows to accept this responsibility. Where else can the colleges look more hopefully fo r pattern setting? It is a big order, bu t we must expect our sorority girls to show the way in good taste, good sportsmanship, in social grace, in impeccable behavior and in the highest ethics in cl assroom standards. One of the h ardest blows I can receive as a dean is to see a sorority chapter lose a golden opportunity to ma ke its position crystal

clear in a disciplinary situation. I think of a few times when a chapter has failed to support me when I have faced a disciplinary problem involving a freshman pledge. In such instances, I have occasionally asked a chapter to help make a girl's error, a truly educational one by delaying induction into the sorority and putting a girl in probationary pledge sta tus for a period of time. What good does this do when the sorority is apologetic to th e youngster and says, " W e do this because the dean makes us." I have a ctually had girls under censure tell me tha t their cases were handled in this way ! Point 6 ca rries possibility of a long speech in itself so I sha ll m erely suggest th a t sororities might well se t up (possibly within p anhellenic ra ther than in the single ch apters) a seminar to study the whole question of in-

!J1/~1 NIE\\V AILUIM\NAIE CIHIAPliiEI~ liN NIEW Ol~ILIEANS ~ ON February 19, 1959, at 7:00 p.m. at the Roosevelt Hotel in the Mardi Gras Room in New Orleans, the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter was founded. The following girls were present, initiated, and installed into their various offices: Mrs. Robert Brooks; Joann Brauner, Chapter Editor; Rose Ann Caron; Mrs. James Patrick Comfort, President; Helen Enette Clark, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. C. R. Camp., Jr., Treasurer; Mrs. AI Dessauer; Bobbie Freitag, Recording Secretary; Antoinette Mule; Mrs. Henry Meisler; Mary Alice Ribaul, Historian; and Beryl J. Trenchard, Vice-President. Susie Mc'Bee, our National Standards Chairman, acted as the installing officer for the chapter. Joann Brauner was responsible for contacting the girls and getting things well organized for the occasion. It was not until the officers were to be elected that Joann Brauner announced that she would be moving to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a short period of time, which meant that she could take an office that would require only a little of her time. Many of the girls had not seen each other for a while and were eager to exchange gossip of interest to all. We are fortunate to have installed the New Orleans chapter and the Baton Rouge chapter because it will give us the support we need in that area to organize collegiate chapters. Many of the Phi girls expressed their devotion for Margaret Lowe and the work she is doing for Alpha Sigma Tau in Hammond.

THE AN H R

By CATHY RAMSEY, Omicron Pledge

HAVE YOU ever carefully examined an insect such as a flea? Do you know what the natural habitat of a flea is, and do you know what this little creature eats? Unless you're a zoologist, you probably know very little about the flea or any other animal. In fact, you probably aren't even interested in fleas, but perhaps you would be interested in the bugs and other queer creatures found among college student . Bugs among college students you ask? Yes, strange as it seems, m any college students bear a remarkable resemblance to animals. Of course, college student are animals, but I mean animals such as bugs, worms, horses, cows. Only a few strange creatures on Concord' cam pus are the bookworm, the ocial butterfly, and the busy bee. The bookworm is a queer creature who i constantly burrowing in books. As the food of an earth worm is ~he dirt through which he burrows, so the bookworm feeds upon book . In fact, he's a regular little glutton. The bookworm is u ually near sighted. H e sees no farther than-sha ll we say the book in his hand. The bookworm is very pale- because of his long confinement. You see, while other creatures are at the Union or the Sweet Shop, the bookworm is confin d to the library or hi room with a book. One word of warning-if you're looking for a bookworm. Without his book, he looks like a normal "bug." However, he can't be mistaken for anyone else, when seen in his natural habitat. Among the girls we find a very colorful insect ~ the social butterfly. He.r natural habitat is probably the Student Union, although you will aJso find her fluttering around at ballgames, the local theater, sorer-

ity meetings. In fact, the chief characteristic of the social butterfly is her gregariousness. She simply loves crowds, and for this reason is seldom to be found in h er room . Indeed, no matter how late the hours, the butterfly may be found flitting from room to room. For even at such a late hour, she wants to be surrounded by people. It makes no difference that other people need their rest. A very busy little creature on the campus is the bee. H e buzzes from task to task, completing one only to begin another. H e is very important because he can be depended upon to do things the other bugs won't do. The busy bee has no natural habitat ; in fact, it's hard to pin him down to one location. One minute you may find him humming over a meeting of the "king" bees on the campus - the S.G.A. representatives. An hour later he flies into the fraternity m eeting to drone out a financial report. Or perhaps you will find him writing a n article for the school paper. He "buzzily" works over his homework assignments in his spare moments. H e even finds time to buzz th e dance at the Union and to escort one of the "queens of the hive" to a movie. The chief characteristics of the bee are his unlimited energy and his ability to buzz around so loudly, attracting so much attention . The bookworm, the social butterfly, and rhe busy bee are only three fascinating creatures found on Concord's campus. There are bugs and more bugs. So, for a fascinating hobby, why not undertake a study of zoology? I mean on the campus-not in the classroom.

Are College Fraternities Necessary? Answered by GEORGE STARR LASHER, Editor of the "Rattle" of Theta Chi. From a background of half a century of observation on compuses of various sizes and types, I am willing to answer forthrightly that they are not, but I am equally certain that those who really know fraternities and look at them without prejudice will agree that they are highly desirable. Why? "Because in a period of more than 125 years they have proved that it is the good in a social institution that causes it to persist. "Because there is no administrator on a fraternity campus who is on record as being opposed to fraternities, and a great number strongly approve of them. "Because, being true examples of a democracy in action, they give the college student the best possible experiences and training for life in a democracy. "Because they give the individual an experience in group living that teaches him most effectively how to live and work with others. "Because life in a fraternity chapter develops in the individual a more thoroughgoing sense of social responsibility than is developed by any other campus group. "Because fraternity members are trained through actual experiences to meet social situations confidently, for they have been instructed in the social amenities that make for comfortable, civilized living. "Because, the fraternity chapter being a comparatively small organization, members are given an opportunity to develop leadership potentialities. 路 "Because fraternities, both on the local and the national level, are concerned with setting high standards in scholarship, manners, dress, and campus citizenship, much is done to encourage members to strive for success in these fields. " Because fraternities are the most effective agency on the campus for the development of lifelong friendships, the finest by-products of a college education. "Because, and this is most important. there is no satisfactory substitute for fraternities to be found on college campuses."

meaning I grasp it firmly. Solid, perfectly carved, I wonder a!hout the sma ll nicks in its form . They retell tales of many sorority years . . . picnics, many lovely friendships . . . . good times of laughter when its mistress pounded defiantly for silence. Again it was used when go sip and loud talking became rude and boisterous. For years this piece of wood has been a symbol, respected. There's our adviser, soon the meeting will start. It doesn' t seem possible that at the

First Edition of Whd's Who of American Women Published Traditional male fields of endeavor have been invaded by women in force, to judge by the brief life histories of nearly twenty thousand outstanding Ameri can women who are included in Who's Who of American Women. This new biennial publication ha just been issued for the first time by the firm which also produces the famous Who's Who in America. Wheeler Sammons, Jr., president of M arquis~Who~ Who, the publishers, says his company found a need for "a book confined to the woman who stands out from h er sisters," and it has attempted to meet the need. In the process, the editors found that there are apparently almost no occupation which do not now include notable women. The new bien nial contains 1480 pages and is in the same style as Who's Who~'in America. The publishing firm spent nearly three years in prep aring this initial volume and was aided in the work by the Women' Archives at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. , headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Borden, and by a number of national organizations serving as advisory patrons. 11

Fate of Fraternity System in Hands of Undergraduates ( Th e following is a letter to undergraduate frat ernity m embers from H ouston T . K arnes, chairm an of the National I nterfra ternity Conference.)

T he fate of the fraternity system at any given tim e is in the hands of you, the undergraduate m em bers. This thought should be kept in m ind at a ll tim es as you develop your program for a new school year. Whatever you do as a fraternity m ember affects the fra ternity system in the mind of the general p ublic. Your own cha pter and you r own fra ternity a re only slightly affected in comparison. T he fra tern ity system is strong today, but there is room fo r more progress . L et me call to your attention a few a reas wherein con tinued work shou ld be m ade.

1. T h e improvem ent of scholarship. This not only helps the fraternity system, bu t it is an aid to our society, as the en tire country realizes the need for improved academic performance. 2. An increased activity in the field of campus and commu_ni ty service. This, too, helps the fraternity system, bu t, more important, it helps p eople in general. 3. An increase in the number of outsta nding Greek Weeks. This is a boost to the fraternity system on any campus. 4. An increase in t'he number of fraternity m en on campus. Fraternit leaders are concerned over the fact tha t fra ternity membership is not keeping pace with increased enrollment. This i an a rea to ' hich much thought hould b g1ven.

BET A'S HOUSE t THis year has brought much excitement

to the Beta Chapter. Many dreams fina lly were realized as we moved into our new house. We had a chance to see everybody a little before the fall semester started as we arrived for "work week" armed with dust cloths, polish, and elbow grease to make our house bright and shiny. Our fraternity neighbors helped us move all our trunks and furniture in, and before long we were settled. Our housemother, Mrs. Julia Bloomer, has certa inly h elped us understand the courtesies necessary when living together. Adding to our home-like atmosphere, Mrs. C ora Slater, our cook, keeps our " tummies" filled beyond capacity. 18

The expansion also gives facilities for an attractive dining room to seat forty diners. :That capacity may be further expanded by using the adjacent housemother's living room which is separated by an accordion folding door. The dining area on the south side of the first floor has brown asphalt tile floors, bamboo window draperies, a large window planter box and a large installation of cabinets, drawers and in-wall compartments for storage of table service, candle holders, table pads, and table leaves. Walls are decorated a cocoa brown. Architecturally the dining area is arranged for circuit traffic of table boys f.rom the large kitchen with separate entrance and exit. The kitchen area, with many conveniences for the cook, and kitchen help, was expanded in 1952 and this is flanked by a new large pantry which has ro.Z..:s 'of storage shelves and a new thirteen-foot electric refrigerator and 路freezer. The former quarters for housemothers on the north side of the house and off the front

Over-all dimensions of the addition on the east side of the 'house are thirty by twenty-four for the housemother's quarters and dining area expansion and thirty by ixteen on the second and third floors. The construction with a roof projection over the first floor provides a sun deck for the women. This is reached from revamped fire escape installations on the north side of the building.

;t.. EvERY YEAR at Penland is different from every other year. For one thing, we did not have a capacity crowd for the summer, although there were times when every room was full. We suppose the recession touched us lightly, however, for during the entire year we had more guests than last year, coming from twenty-rune of the states, and from twenty-five foreign cou ntries. The foreign group this year has been an unusual experience for us in more ways than one. There were twenty-five of them from eight nations- Indonesia, J apan, K orea, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Yugoslavia. They were a younger group than we have had before, and there were some very beautiful young wom en who sang like a ngel ! There were a lso some very handsome young men. In fact, those of al l ages were unusually interesting. Although they were all. e du cators or officials in the ministry of their respective coun-

tries and were not profess.ional entertainers, rhey were all talented in one way or another, an路d there were 路three evenings of home talent entertaining. Through our good friends Dr. and Mrs. Lind of M arion, who are refugees from Estonia, o ur group was invited to dinner by the M arion Rota rians, and were asked to do a short prog~am 路afterwards. Some sang fo.Jk songs in their own languages; some spoke briefly of their own countries; some expressed gratitude ior kindnesses shown them in America; some did very intricate 路a nd beautiful dancing. The beautiful li ttle lady froiD Thailand who did the cand le dance, held us spellbound. Somehow, through Dr. Lind., 'the Vo ice of America heard of this program and made a 'recording of it. There were also phbtographs\ taken which will appear i~ tlie R otarian, alo ng with an article about the occasiOn.

We shared our Christmas spirit and cheer by caroling for the pa tients at Beyer Hospital on December 15, which was followed by a party at the home of our adviser, Mrs. Bates. Everyone en joyed the refreshments, gift exchange, and group sing. We also enjoyed a party with the alums at the horne of our pa troness, Mrs. Nisbet. The Alphas also decorated the Eastern Michigan College Library Christmas tree and actively took part in the annual all cam pus C hristmas Sing.

of the highpoints for the year was, without a doubt, our Homecoming Week entitled "Central's World Fair." We worked hard with the Sig Taus on our float an d couldn't have been happier with the resu lts. The float featured the Eiffel Tower with the appropriate caption "We'll Give 'Em an Eyeful. " It did just that to the judges because it placed third for beauty. Also, we were very proud of pretty Karen Pankonin who graced the queen's float as a member of the court. Fall rush gave us six wonderful new sisters. They are J ane Delanty who is a sopholll()re class senator, Mary J o Gambino, Rosemary L ehmann, .Marlene Michalski, J acqualine Wagar, and Margaret White. They were good pledges with the exception of a few little pranks ; however, the pranks were forgiven when the new sisters presented to the actives a large and beautiful A~T paddl e.

It wou ld be difficult to talk of our activities this semester without mentioning th e Christmas season. On e activity that a ll th e sisters enjoyed was the annual Christmas Benefit Dance. And to keep with the spirit of Christmas, we had a Christmas Spirit Week which was quite unique and loads of fun. The girls a ll drew names and during the week each one was to do special things for the girl whose name she drew. It was not at all unusual to walk in to your room and find a candy bar, apple, or poem awaiting you . The wonderful week was brought to a close with the exchange of gifts at a Christmas Slumber Party. Having Pat Duffey as our official Santa and finding out who our Christmas spirit was, made for a fabulous party. With the mixers, cokers, pre-dance parties, and the Christmas Tea for all sorority women the Betas have had a very active semester, but that's the way we like it. We're busy now making plans for spring rush and hope to welcome a good group of girls into our sisterhood.- JANETTE AsHLEY

Delta Salutes Adviser ;t THE members of Delta Chapter of Alpha

Sigma Tau wish to salu te their adviser, Mrs: Donald B. Shank. Even though much of her time is devoted to teaching fourth grade at Indiana's laboratory school and participating in many community activitie , last May Mrs. Shank most graciously accepted the position of adviser for D elta Chapter. Attending the na tional convention, planning with the girls for projects and social events, entertaining in her home, meeting with alumnae and fri ends of the sorority, and offering advice and encouragem ent when it was needed are just a few of the kind gestures perform ed by Mrs. Shank. At the close of her first and most successful year, the girls of D elta have a special m essage to their adviser. "Thank you for a job well done. W e salute you, Mrs. Shank." One of Delta's first events of the year was "Greek Sing" a t which the T aus blended their voices to sing, " I'll Take Romance," and one of our favorites, " Far Aero s the Campus."

This group of Delta girls is working hard on their float, entitled "Thanksgiving at Indiana."

. The theme for Homecoming floats this year was " Parade of Holidays," an.d we depicted "Thanksgiving at Indiana." The most outstanding object was a huge, golden, paper-mache Indian (for Indiana, of course!) raising his arm to kill a very colorful turkey. A section of John Sutton Hall (the girls' dormitory ) surrounded by small pine trees towered in the front of the float to tie in the Indiana theme. In front of our float was a footJball decorated with letters spelling, " lnaiana versus Carnegie T ech" (our rival for the Homecoming game ) . Many people comm ented on the fact that our float was most original and told a definite story. We were vez:y proud of the finish ed product and felt it was worth all the preparation and work. Each <!>f the cars we rode in was decorated with our Greek letters, and we carried green and gold shakers to add more color to the parade. 路 All of us were honored when Karen McCall, one of our senior members, reigned as :Princess of Homecoming. 路 During informal fall rushing, we were fortunate to receive three new pledges: Gerry Riazzi, Kay Zanarini, and Laura Cappella. We celobra.ted Founders' Day with a banquet at which Vivian Dye delivered a speech om the theme of the n ational convention, "Friendship, the K ey to Happiness."

Zeta 's First Place Float t THE Zetas here at Lock Haven started the year in fin e style with our float in the Homecoming Parade. W e a ll worked like mad on it, and at the game after the parade

a group of tired but happy Zetas heard the announcement that we had won the over-all first prize for our float. The theme for Homecoming W eekend was "U nited Nations," and we selected Holland as the country we would represent. On our float we constructed a windmill set on a hill overlooking a big bed of tu lips, and Elain e Kline portrayed a cute Dutch boy and Judy Yeager and Pat Myers were Dutch girls. Instead of riding in convertibles, the rest of us also dressed as Dutch girls and "boys" and followed our float on bicycles. We even had a bicycle built for two, which proved to be a big hit. The Taus were well represented in the Homecoming Qu een's Court, too, as two of th e members were our own pretty Faye Marsh and Alice Jane Porter. Bonnie Hafer of Zeta was co-chairman of the entire Homecoming W eekend celebration, and did a wonderful job on a huge undertaking. W e were very proud of these three sisters who represented us so well. W e held our annual Christmas party a t the home of our adviser, Mrs. F leming.

;\; WE STARTED the school year with a very successful rush. Our theme was "Rainbow Rush" and each party was a different color of the rainbow. Rush week was climaxed with the pledging of 16 girls. Our next project as a group was an "Alphatraz" party. It was at the house and the costumes were black and white striped. There were black crepe paper bars on the windows and the inside of the house was decorated to resemble a prison. Everyone had a wonderful time as it was a different party idea for our campus. As always we were very enthusiastic about homecoming, getting ready for alums and putting up house decorations. Our decoration theme was " Sweet Smell of Success," and consisted of a Corky (our school mascot ) dressed as a cannibal stirring a pot of ravens (our opposing team's mascot ) with three Corky cannibals beating drums and wagging their tongues in the background. Three dimension palm trees and jungle-like underbrush m ade up the backdrop. Our efforts were well worth it because we won first 路 place in the sorority division .

Disappointment prevailed when H omecoming wa postponed due to a water shortage in our college town. The rising sun, on the day designated as Homecoming, found the Alpha Taus already at work. One even t followed another-we assembled the float, rode in the parade, enjoyed a Coffee Hour with our alums, attended the game, then danced until midnight. W e enjoyed it, you may be sure.

Zeta Tau Helps Needy Family ;\, As September rolled around, the Zeta

Tau chapter at Longwood was busy welcoming everyone back and beginning the swirl of sorority life once again. Our seniors were found playing the roles of teachers as student teaching had begun. Five of them, Marilyn King, Elaine Chaffin, Charlotte J ewell, Mary Strickla nd, and Peggy H arris were temporarily taken away from "our family'' as they were sent to Roanoke to practice teach. We joined the other sororities in October to participate in the fall rush season and also, during this month we took time out from the busy routine to have a hamburger dinner in the chapter room. In November the biggest event was ot~r Founder's Day Banquet which was held in the Tea Room. With Christmas coming up, we caught the

spmt and decorated our door with a gay Santa on a green background with "Merry Christmas" written in gold. Everyone looked lovely as we crowded into the room for the intermission party during Senior D ance. The day before our vacation began we had our annual Christmas party after which we took baskets of food, clothing, and toys to a needy family in Farmville. We started the New Year by concentrating on spring rushing. The most exciting day of the month, however, was January 28 when our new Stereophonic Hi-Fi Console and additional floor peaker arrived . Besides the elegance it h as given the chapter room, we cannot express th e enjoyme nt that has been gained from gathering around to listen. The end of first semester brought on exams and then graduation of three of our seniors, Elain e Chaffin, Marilyn King and Betty Maynard. Even so, we are eagerly anticipating the future and the new sisters and good times that second semester will bring.- PEGGY HARRIS .

Upsilon Wins Cup ;\, THE first semester with Upsilon Chapter has been a good one and our informal rush party was a tremendous success. The theme of the party was show boat. The sceFJe was an actual boat launched on the Arkansas River. The formal party was held in the ballroom of the Bachelor Hotel. The theme "Rhapsody In White" was carried out throughout the room.

Chi's Mardi Gras Party ;\;. THE Chi Chapter of Alpha Sigm.a Tau gave a reception for new women students a t the beginning of the fall term . The reception was held in the colonial room of McMurran Hall. Dr. Sara Cree, sorority adviser, and patronesses of the sorority greeted the new students and th e wives of faculty members. For the fourth consecutive year a member of Alpha Sigma Tau has been voted by the student body to reign as homecoming queen . Miss Nikki Timbrook, a sophomore of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, reigned as this year's queen and Miss Mary Charles Adams, sophomore of Farmville, Virginia, was a prmcess. "The Mardi Gras" was the theme of the fall rush party for Chi Chapter. The fortune telling booth with Mis Helen T eets as fortune teller proved to be the hit of the evening. Seven girls accepted bids to become m embers . They are : Faye Hoffman, Joan Little, Elinor Kable, 路Billie Ann Winkfield, Ann Sloan, Carolyn Boswell, and Juanita Wendell. The girls were initiated into the chapter on January 6, 1959. The Alphas had a surprise birthday party for the chapter adviser, Dr. Sara Cree on January 13. The members of the sorority presented Dr. Cree with a milk glass vase.

Dr. Cree returned to school the first of January aiter having been ill for several weeks. Chi chapter again was represented in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities by having five girls selected to become members. The girls are Barbara Harris, Shepherdstown senior, Virginia Franzen, HarpeFs Ferry senior, Nancy Fritts, Shepherdstown senior, Sharon Cain, Romney senior, and Loretta Sponaugle, Franklin senior. The annual Swee theart Dance was held on Saturday, February 14.

Psi Turns Decorator ;\; THE fall semester started off with a flurry as Zirkle House welcomed the Psis for a new and exciting year. We were soon making plans for rush week and preparing for our traditional "Carnival" rush theme. Zirkle House was converted into a carnival with a ghost house, balloon throws, bingo, tattooing, and apple bobbing. A hit with everyone was a pony with a cart and rides were enjoyed by everyone. After the "rushees" had played all the games and won their prizes, the lights went down and the curtain up for a floor show which was enjoyed by all. W e ended this wonderful night with a more serious side of A~T and then settled down to wait for the fin al day when the "rushees" walked. Saturday finally arrived and with it many wonderful alumnae to help us welcome our ten "neat" pledges to our sisterhood. Founder's Day was celebrated with a banquet and the beautiful candlelighting ceremony at Shenandale. Miss Frank, our advisor, and Jane Webster Ritchie, an alumnae representative, joined in the celebration. Psi seniors zestfully "undecorate" after the party.

Zirkle House was gaily decorated for Christmas and we had a gay time preparing for our party. The Psi girls went to the County Farm to share the joy of Christmas, by singing carols and giving gifts. January was an exciting month for the pledges with the impressive initiation ceremony welcoming them as our new sisters. With the close of January and exams, our interest turned toward repapering the living room and hall and planning for new furniture. Also with the opening of second sem ester the Psi girls who were away student teaching returned and we said "good-bye" to one F ebruary graduate. Zirkle House was left with eleven seniors! March brought plans for spring rush and the hope to welcome new "rushees" to our sisterhood. After this comes May Day and then graduation! This semester has been wonderful for the P is and we are looking forward to the new semester.- CAROL YN STOVER.

Alpha Delta's Money Making Project ;\; THE Alpha Delta girls were, indeed, the busiest group on the 'S.M.S. campus this fall. Soon after classes resumed Alpha Taus were caught up in a mad whirl of formal rush activities. Following a pirate rendezvous a nd an even ing of "That Old Black Magic," which were themes for rush parties, Alpha Delta girls emerged with thirteen new 'p ledges. Ribbon pledging was climaxed by a bunking party and breakfast at the chapter house. THE ANCHOR

Bette HoHman, Alpha Delta, was an attendant to the Hoop Queen at the annual Parents' Day basketball game.

The new pledges were Beverly Hoffman, Nancy Alexander, Sandra Graves, Cathy Yockum, Pauletta Gilwicks, Nancy Ramsey, Bette Hoffman, Nancy Fredricks, Diane Roop, Pat Davis, Donna Cravens, Mary Kay Dowell, and Saundra Back. Immediately following pledging Alpha Taus entered Homecoming festivities. Long hours of stuffing napkins, covering foil leaves, laughing, singing, and just having fun , in an old cold bui lding- that's float building!! But for the Alpha Delta chapter it meant another success. Our float placed second in the beauty division. The theme, "Survival of the Fittest" was carried out in red, brown, and gold foil leaves uspending from a gold tree. The surviving leaves were the S.M.S. Bears and the leaves on the ground were our rivals. Following the parade the actives and pledges were guests of the alums at the annual Homecoming luncheon. The girls then

hostessed a reception at the house following the game for parents, dates, and alums. November brought the Alpha Delta chapter a full calendar of social events, money making projects, and a visit from our national president, Mrs. Peterson. Our chief money making project was the annual Alpha Sigma Tau Turkey Trot which is an informal dance. It was held in the Student Center Building where a Miss Cranberry Sauce and Tom Turkey were crowned. Candidates were nominated by other campus organizations and were chosen by the number of tickets their group so ld. Miss Cranberry Sauce was presented with a Cranberry crown and a miniature loving cup while Tom Turkey was given a live turkey. The evening was termed a huge success. The opening of winter term brought two new pledges, Karen Fulton and Doris Shepherd, and found th e Alpha D elta girls in a new sorority house. Painting and redecorating immediately began. The house is a large three-story building and accommodates approximately twenty girls. The downstairs con sists of a large foyer, living and dining room , bath, kitchen, and housemother's quarters. The second and third floors have roomy, spacious bedrooms. The sorority has purchased new furniture and draperies. In keeping with the Christmas spirit, Alph a Delta girls joined other organizations on campus in an annual carol sing and tree lighting ceremony. The annual Christmas dance was given by the pledges in honor of the actives, December 19, at Bette H offman's home. D e-

At the present, Alpha D elta gi rls are working on a local philanthropic project. The girls plan to assist in the Grand Acres Rest Home. Visits will be made frequently with gifts for the patients. With our new project, spring dances, election of officers, and other campus activities, it is quite obvious that the Alpha D elta chapter will remain busy.-RoBERTA SMITH.

Alpha Lambda's Friendship Island t.

As all the Alpha Lambdas returned from their enjoyable and well spent summer vacations, we immediately began working on our fall rush list, and making plans for the rush party. And a very successful party it was. The room was decorated to depict an island. Palm trees, thatched huts made of straw, green and yellow swans floating on pools made of glass, and driftwood were used for the realistic effect of an island. Scattered throughout the room were monkeys, made from socks, hanging from the trees, huts, etc. These were given to the rushees later in the evening. The party reaped its benefits in that we acquired thirteen wonderful new pledges. N ext came the pledging period for the new pledges followed by the initiation se~vic~ held in January making them our soronty sisters. They are as follows: Mary Archer, Millie Brannon, Judy Brooks, Shirley Carroll, Shirley Cooper, Gail Daingerfield, Anita McCormick, Kathie McMillan, Sue Miller, Clara Nell Price, Flo Rodgers, Betty Gayle Thames, and Bee Whitehead. Complete with new members, Alpha Lambdas busily prepared for the arrival of Mrs. Richard Snidow, District president, who was to iaspect our chapter for national inspection. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Snidow's visit, and hope she will return to visit us soon again.

This was the first time we put on the ceremony and it certainly was thrilling. As was our custom as a loca l sorority, we gave a dance in honor of our new sisters. It was held at the Homes tead Hotel. The girls were presented flowers by the sorority and gifts from their big sisters. The band was great and the entire evening was perfect. Before the installation, our pledges took part in the Campus Sorority Skit. This term all the pledges from each sorority joined in one production. Previously, each sorority planned, practiced, and put on its own skit. Our In ter-Sorority Council changed the for- Âˇ mat. With a ll the pledges working toward one goal, we managed to arrive at the friendliness and warmth we wanted. The theme of the skit was "Music- 1900 to 1958." The pledges took us from the Black Bottom and Charleston days ricrht up to the pre ent rock 'n roll trend. Our girls put on a fine show with their parts in " By the Sea" a nd "The Stroll."

Princeton-Athens Observes Founders' Day ;\; •PRINCETON-ATHENS ALUMNAE has had a very busy year. In September the chapter met with the Bluefield Alumnae at the home of Janet Calfee. At our September meeting, Miss Hila Arrington and Miss Ann Eaton gave a most informative report on the highlights of the National Convention. In October the chapter enjoyed a delicious pot luck dinner and good conversation at the home of Lucille Litz Walthall, with Elizabeth Linkous Jessee as co-hostess. The chapter was happy to have Melba Hurt Rector add her name to the chapter roll. In November the Founders' Day Banquet was observed at the Town and Country Restaurant. An inspiring message was given by the speaker, Mrs. Ralph Klingensmith. In December, we had a Christmas party at the home of Miss Ann Eaton with Miss Anna Lee Mason as co-hostess. Gifts were exchanged. The hostess prepared clever games in which the girls won prizes. In January, we met at the home of Mrs. Brownie Weatherford with Mrs. Odell Huffman as co-hostess. After the business session, we enjoyed looking at Christmas cards from other chapters. The February meeting was held at the home of Mrs. R G. White. Members enjoyed seeing slides presented by Miss Jean Richards, showing us interesting ways and customs of the Japanese. Jean also showed slide of outstanding buildin!!'S and other places of interest.

Roanoke's "Happy Bag"

Shepherdtown' s Dutch Treat

~ THE Roanoke Alumnae Chapter has had

a busy year thus far and we are hoping to see this continue. In August we participated in the City Panhellenic Tea which was h eld at Miller and Rhoads. The college board of the store presented a fashion show and each sorority had a display of various articles and types of information. Everyone was pleased with the number of girls that attended . Patty 路Parkey, our president, moved to West Virginia when her husband received a transfer. The chapter entertained her with a farewell luncheon in the Miller and Rhoads Tea Room. In September, Anna Margaret Young was elected to fill the vacancy in the office of president. Our Founders' Day Banquet was held at a local restaurant. Polly Mahood Swope, our vice-president, made a lovely table arrangement and a corsage for each m ember present. She had also revised the Candlelight Service so that it could be used by an alumnae chapter. It was certainly lovely and inspirational. This year we again sold Christmas Cards for our annual money-making project. At our Christmas party held at the horne of Betty Snidow, we wrapped Christmas gifts for a "Happy Bag" which was Christmas for a little girl in our city. Betty Snidow did th.e shopping and so expertly, that everyone IS tryine to have her do their shopping for next year!" We all felt that this was certainly a rewarding ocial service proj ect. In January, we were able to have a Zeta Tau girl, Ann Glover, with us for our meeting. Ann did her student teac~ing. at the hi<Th school in Roanoke. At th1s time we a l;o voted to send a gift to Zeta Tau Chapter. A gift is sent each year to one of the four groups represented in our local chapter me mbership. THE ANCHOR

;\; WoRK and plans of the Shepherdstown Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority for the year 1958-59 got off to a good start at the first meeting. This was an old-fashioned picnic with hot dogs, rolls, and "the works" which were eaten around the fireplace at War M emorial Park in M artinsburg. After the meal, tentative plans which were made earlier at an executive meeting, were approved and adopted for the coming year's work. I n October we met at the home of Mrs. Stephen Sinnett, Martinsburg. Mrs. Sinnett who was our delegate to Buffalo gave her report on the convention which everyone enjoyed, and stressed interest and attendance in the conventions to come. Founders' Day was celebrated in November with a Dutch Treat dinner at the Shenandoah Hotel in Martinsburg with alumnae and colleaiate members of Chi Chapter and one patr;ness present. The Founders' Day candlelighting service was conducted by Mrs. Howard Carper, Jr. In D ecember we had our annual Christmas party at the home of Miss Genevieve Pitzer, Gerrardstown. The program conducted by Mrs. Sherman Beard, J r., consisted of poems and readings on the Christmas season by members. Carol singing and games were led by Mrs. Donald Perrault. Gifts were exchanaed by drawing candy canes from a basket ~拢 pin e and matching them with gifts by number. In January we were to meet with Mis Pauline Hill, Shepherdtsown, at which time Dr. V era Malton was to speak on drama but that day the surrounding territory was a sheet of ice and we had to cancel this meeting. We hope to have it later on. This spring we are looking forward to a party with members of Chi chapter at the 47

home of Mrs. H oward Carper, Jr., in Shepherdstown, to a talk and showing of slides on an European Tour by Barbara and Ann Harris, two of our collegiate members and the showing of slides of western United States, taken by Mrs. Dorothy Ware, one of our alumnae members. We hope for a large attendance at these meetings so members, please come and bring others with you. We feel it will be well worth your time and effort.- GENEVIEVE PITZER

college-marriage. I do not wish to give the impression of disapproving college marriages, but I am much concerned by a tendency to put early engagements and marriage ahead of everything else in life and to risk interruption or complete cessation of higher education. There seems to be a growing recklessness in this area at the present time. Are our young women remembering that studies show an increasing necessity for young women to be employed in early marriage and later to seek employment after her busy years with children find her -with suddenly freed time ?

Is the young wife or the middle-aged woman going to be ready for this requirement? Also, what mental stimu lation can she provide her husband and her children if her own horizons have not been widened beyond the trivial interests of adolescence?
