;\; "ALTHO GH I was born in I owa, I consider myself a true H oosier as I have lived in Indiana since I was two years old," says Mary Alice Peterson (Mr. Earl F .) , N ational Presid ent of A~T. " After graduating from North Vernon High School, I attended Indiana University where I received my AB and MA degrees with a major in Latin and minors in English, Greek, and Edu cation. Later I took work in Guidance at the USC. Entering the teaching fi eld, I taught in several Indiana high schools and in M cKinley High School at Honolulu, H awaii, before accepting an Assistant Professorship in Latin and Education at the K ansas State T eachers College (Emporia ) , where I was also Girls' Counselor in the Rooseve lt L aboratory High School (on campus ) . It was at Emporia that I became affiliated with A~T first as H ousemother and later as Facu lty Adviser of Iota Chapter. Since then I have held the offices of District President, Ritu a l Chairman, Program C hairman, Standards C ha irman and, since 1955, National President. I live near Crawfordsville, Indiana, on a farm, Ash Acres, which has been in my fami ly for o er 100 years. Since my husband's death in 1950, I have been m a naginrr the farm and a l o teaching in a nearby high school. I njoy cou ntry life; and working outdoors,

caring for my flowers and large yard, is one of my favorite activities. I am a member of <I>BK, ~ll, KKK, th e Pre byterian Church, Eastern Star, AAUW, the Indiana State Teachers Association, and EA. I have always taken an active part in church, civic, club, and community affair . Traveling is one of my chief pleasure . I have visited th e European and the Scandinavian countrie , plan to visit P uerto Rico oon, and dream of takinrr a trip around the world. I have also traveled extensively in the S. Attending the legitimate theatre, collecting records (chiefly cia sica! and semi-cia sica! ) for my Hi-Fi, collecting E arly American pressed gla s in the Daisy and Bu tton pattern, collecting ceramics characteristic of different sections of the US and of foreign countries, reading good literature of all type and raising cats- Persian, part Persian and Alley - might all be termed my hobbies. I find contentment and happiness in keeping busy in intere ting worthwhile activities and in helping others whenever and however I can. I echo the sentiment of Edna t. incent Millay who expre ed so beautifully her attitude toward li fe in the e line :

'M'y candle burns at both ends I t l ill not last the night. But oh my friend and oh my foe I t makes a lo vely light. ' THE

Alpha Sigma Tau Buys a Mule for Piney Woods

School t THE Piney Woods School of Piney Woods, Mississippi, grew from a sheep shed beginning with 18 students in 1910 to its present 16-acre size with 500 students, modern well-equipped workshops for teaching trades, handsome brick buildings, orchards, truck and dairy farms, and a staff of 40 devoted teachers. This was accom plished for backwoods Negro children through a miracle of faith, hard work, and practicality by Lawrence Jones, now known as " The Little Professor of Piney Woods." The school has been financed largely through outside help. The Mississippi Black Belt is still desperately poor. Less than ten per cent of the students who come in on muleback, in old pickup trucks and afoot can pay any tuition at all. In their newspaper "The Pine Torch," edited by students and staff, Lawrence Jones lists the items the school currently needspractical things like hammers, saws, cottages, THE ANCHOR

sewer p1pes and many others. One of the many needs was mules. This need appealed to the imagination of our national president, Mrs. Peterson, and she asked the Alpha Sigma Tau nationa l council if we couldn't give a mule to Piney Woods School. Forthwith a check went out to "The Little Professor," to buy his school a mule and he soon sent us a picture of their two new mules, one of which is "ours." From Professor Lawrence C. Jones, Head of the Piney Woods Country Life School, comes this message: "Plant Patience in the garden of thy soul. The roots are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. And when at last it stands a tree complete, Beneath its tender shade, the burning heat and burdens of the day will lose controlPlant patience in the garden of thy soul." " There are more good people in the world than we think there are."

This is Anna of South Kerala, India. whom Alpha S igma Tau has "adopted" through the Christia n Children's Fund, Inc.

Alpha Sigma Tau Has Adopted a Girl in India ;t. ANNA is a likable, kind, helpful little

girl, 13 years old. Anna's family has always belonged to the poorest of India's great masses of the poor, for the pittance the father earns doing coolie labor is as nothing in providing food for his wife and six children. To add to his burden he has his elderly and ill mother to support. Thus as the children o-rew and their needs increased, starvation became a daily threat, vvith no means whatever of clothing the children or sending them to school. Help ha to be given and the school-age children were brought to the Bethel Asram Communi ty School in South K era la India. Kerala, near the outhern tip of India. r c ived world attention becau e it was the first sta te in India to go Commun ist. But

it wa misruled by local Communist government for a little over two years and then the Communists were put out of office by popular vote of the people. It went temporarily Communist because of unemployment, hunger and the genera l misery of the people. But two years of unfilled Communist promises, graft and efforts to force a ll choor to teach Communism, together with their inability to better the economy, was enough and the go ernment was changed.

crops a nd cocoan ut trees flourish. Much of the mountain area is covered with rubber trees and in these forests wild elephants and lions make their home. The State of Kerala is also interesting because it has a larger percentage of Chri tians than any other Indian State. They belong for the most part to the Church of South India, sometimes called the Syrian C hurch, whose orders and clergy are recognized by the Episcopal C hurch. The Bethel Asram Community School is conducted by this church . It was established to help the orphans and destitute children of a minority group known as the " depressed classes." This group makes up the agricultural serfs in the K erala area. The caste system in India has kept these people down to what, in a way, is worse than slavery, for slaves are generally fed, but these depressed human beings a re a lways hungry and pitifully underfed. Although the law no longer permits discrimination against them, nevertheless custom and economic pressure are such that these people can hardly eke out an existence. Their condi tion is unbelievedly wretched. Bethel Asram Community School is conducted on the cottage p lan with a separate building for classrooms. There is a hall for gatherings, a sma ll chapel, and some shop buildings. The children receive complete THE ANCHOR

primary schooling and are prepared to be trained industrial workers. It is the most practical education for them and they should be a lot better off than their parents. To attempt a more advanced schooling would be too high a jump in the social scale and impractical - except in special individua l cases. The school has a small farm with crops of tapioca, peas, cereals, cocoanuts and bananas. The school is fortunate in having good teachers, secured at salaries that wou ld shock Americans.

Three Years In Alaska

Mary Brittenham. Los Angeles alumna, tells of her three years in Alaska.

;\; OuR three years in Alaska were highlighted by many interesting experiences and sights. My husband was stationed at E lmendorf Air Force Base, which is located almost within the city limits of Anchorage -the largest city in the new state of Alaska. Anchorage is considered the banana belt of Alaska- the weather there compare favorably with that in our Northwestern tates. However, there is practically no humidity in Anchorage and one does not fee l the co ld unless it is below zero. Anchorage itse lf is a very modern city. My sons went to a new modern high school where som of the younger generation E kimos attend. They were exactly like any other teenag r . W had two local TV station in An hor-

age. Most of the program were kinescop d in the U. . and we received the reruns up there about three weeks to a month later. We were still viewing Christma programs in the midd le of January and we saw the Mother's Day programs on Father's Day, which made a very humorous situation. There were also several local radio stations in Anchorage. One very startling aspect of life in Alaska is the long days in the summer. We also had very short day in the winter. It was dark by 2:30 or 3 p.m., but this was quite as upsetting as the long days. There is nothing like going to a party at 8 p.m. in broad daylight and coming home at 2 a.m. in broad daylight. M y 17-year-old son said it was rough dating with the un up all the time, especially when he took his date home in day light. We made several camping trip into the most beautiful mountain areas in the world. The wi ld life, game hunting and fishing are fabulous. The first summer we were there, our sons caught so many salmon and trout that we didn't have room enough to freeze them, and we couldn't give them all awa so we had to forbid the boys to bring any more fi h home. On our trip we aw moo e bear, caribou and an oc asional wild aoat. While I wa in Ia ka I flew up to orne and Kotzebue to ee hO\ the E kimo re II â&#x20AC;˘ live. Th e ar predominant! E kim THE

is m uch sm a ller a nd h as a tota l population of six hundred people. I t is am azing how you can fl y ove r desolate areas a long the coast tha t look like they cannot support a nything- a nd fi nd native villages. T he villages consist of close ly knit clans that tend to ta ke care of one a nother. They are very friendly to outsiders a nd are noted for not being belligeren t, except under extreme provocations- then they can be very, very rough. T he E skimos in some respects resemb le our American Indians, in that they have tribe , ceremonia l dances and customs that are difficult for U. S. raised Americans to understa nd . M ost of their triba l da nces and ga mes a re disp layed for the U . S. tourists. E ach year in F ebrua ry the Eskimos have a festival in Anchorage called " Fu r R endezvous D ays." They bring their furs in for a uction. T he high light of the festival is th e dog sled races. T he dogs a re beau tiful, welltrained hu skies. During the festival the E skimos a lso displ ay a nd sell their n ati e crafts. Skiing is a favorite sport in Anchorage. We became avid skiers whi le we were there. Life in Al aska is like th at in a ny n ew frontier- prices a re extrem ely high but wages a re a lso high.

Those Streets of Gold by RUTH A. WILCOX, Dean of Women , Marietta College (Speech Given a t the Alpha Kappa Insta llation Banquet a t the Hotel Lafayette, January 28, 1961 )

Alp ha Kappa 's charter is p roudly acce pte d fro m Mrs . Peterson b y Jacquelen Smith, p res ide nt of the chapter, while Dean Ruth A. W ilcox, Mrs. Ferne Phipps, and Mrs; Merrill Patte rs on look on.

t IN his book Adventures in Understanding, David Grayson said, " I wonder if you ever change human beings with arguments alone; you pepper them with li ttle sharp facts; or you blow them up with great guns of truth ; you scare them ; but do you cha nge them? I wonder if you make any rea l difference without understanding and loving them. If you argue with a man, you pu ll him down and make him less; if you unde rstand and like him- how eager he is to know your truth; you add to him ; you make him more. And in making him more, you yourse lf become more." vVhen you come to a college or university, THE ANCHOR

you are suddenly confronted with a tremendous number of sharp facts a nd with great guns of truth, a nd you are cared, but do yo u learn ? You too often become lost in the shuffle of students, faculty, staff, buildings- the problems of living in a different environment . The college itse lf does many things to minimize this problem. We give you advisers to help with your courses; we divide the college curriculum into departments so that there is a smaller group of which you a re a pa rt ; we offer extracurricular programs ; we give you deans to listen to your problems, and there is a n open door to the president's office as well. But, one of the best m eans of helping you to be ready for lea rning is a student group with which you can associate yourse lf, and here the sorority p lays its part. A girl is taken into a group ; she has a big sister who concerns herse lf particu la rl y with the new member ; she finds a lumnae who are ympathetic ; a nd when she finds h erself liked a nd understood- how eager she is to know a nd to grow socially as well as academically. In that security, she can evaluate the ha rp facts and the g uns of truth. Some girls fee l that the sorority is the easy way to find the path smoothed for you with little effort on their part. As members of Pi Gamma Theta, you made a definite contribution to the campus with your ideals and ambitions. But during those years you

were anxious to "go national.'' You wanted to find security for your group in the eyes of other fraternity groups on campus. When Alpha Sigma Tau indicated an interest in your program, you felt that here was your opportunity to secure the recognition you wanted. Some of you had the feeling that once your goal of national membership was attained, you cou ld rest on your laurels. Sam Levenson of TV fame once told how his father had a great ambition to come to the United States because the streets were paved with gold and there was prosperity for all. When his father arrived, he found three things: 1) the streets weren't paved with gold ; 2 ) many of the streets weren't paved at all; 3) he was expected to do some of the paving. We welcome this national group of Alpha Sigma Tau to help us pave the streets for college learning; we welcome Alpha Sigma Tau as a parent group for your local which has needed the security of understanding to

spur you on to help with the paving; we welcome the special interest that the Alumnae Chapter of the Akron-Canton Area is taking in the Alpha Kappa chapter at Marietta. We strongly suspect, however, that the streets they are offering to you are not paved with gold; we suspect that some of their streets aren't paved at all; and that they are expecting you to do at lea t part of the pavmg. Our fifth national sorority on campus joins a fine Panhellenic Group that is working to further the understanding and love that are necessary to make it possible for many of our students to appreciate the truths that are here for them. We are proud to become associated with Alpha Sigma Tau and we believe that Alpha Sigma Tau will understand and like Marietta College and the girls of Alpha Kappa and in understanding and liking us, they themselves will become more.

With Emphasis on You! Excerpts From the Speech of Mrs. Bernard McBee at the Installation of Alpha Kappa an Alpha Sigma Tau is an honor but likewise it is a RESPONSIBILITY. A member must always realize that her actions, whether good or bad, affect the whole sorority. If a sorority girl receives high scholastic marks, participates in other campus activities, and is noticeably well-mannered she will win recognition for herself and her sorority. Unfortunately- The sorority in the OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE. A girl should not become a member of a sorority if she is not willing to consider seriously the obligations of membership. Some girls think that because they belong to a sorority they are better than non-sorority girls. Sadly enough, this had led to the ;t.

BEING

Takinq part in the installation of Alpha Kappa are Mrs. Georqe Halas, Mrs. C. E. Phipps, Mrs. B. L. McBee, Mrs. Earl Peterson, and Mrs. Matthew Villani.

1HE Al

much quoted criticism that sororities are not democratic. DO ALL THAT YOU CANon the campus and elsewhere to make people forget that criticism. A girl is fortunate in becoming a member of a sorority, but she is not superior to anyone else and if she is a ~rue so~ority girl, she will NEVER give that unpresswn. To summarize-A truly educated person is CONSIDERATE, CULTURED, and refined. Therefore, the purpose of Alpha Sigma Tau is three-fold: First- to develop the character of each member through the study of Ethics, so that she will show in ALL her relationships;

HONESTY, SYMPATHY, A SENSE OF HUMOR, FAIR PLAY, and JUS ICE. Secondly- to help each girl enjoy the CULTURAL advantages in life, so that she will know how to select those things which are most worthwhile. Thirdly- to develop in each member the SOCIAL GRACES to the extent that she will be able to take her place in life with TRUE DIGNITY and POISE. Sorority life should help YOU, the sorority girl, develop these qua lities. CHARACTER AND REPUTATION COME NOT FROM WEALTH AND BEAUTY, BUT WHAT IS IN A GIRL'S HEART.

If I Were a Pledge Again ;\; I wouLD get acquainted as quickly as possible with those in my chapter who command genuine admiration and respect. Look up friends and acquaintances of hometown and preparatory school and go out of my way to speak to them on the street and campus. Some snobs are born ; many snobs are self-made; most snobs get that way by traveling the path of least resistance. Discard high school habits, paraphernalia, and thought processes not valid for college life. Even a fish evolves in freer waters. At my own volition read and study the history of my fraternity. H istory is made by those who know history. Do and overdo every chapter task assigned THE ANCHO R'

to me. Fraternity row is dotted with rums caused by too many go ld bricks. Show hospita lity to a ll guests. M any a ma n has achieved remembrance--often to his later advantage-by dancing a few minutes with a chaperone. Attend every chapter meeting. H ere unfolds the drama of fraternity ; and not one act or scene can you afford to miss. Learn to meet and know my professors on a man to man basis. Since the Garden of Eden, apple po lishing is in bad repute. Withhold premature judgments on my pledge brothers; but search for every grain of gold in their characters and personalities. Gilt soon shows itself up ; gold exists only for those who find it. Discharge promptly and cheerfully all financial, social and other obligations incumbent on me as a member of the fraternity. One turn of the top decides if you are a " put'' or a " take" and what a difference it makes in fraternity success or failure . Go to church regularly. A fraternity ideal can flower in worship or wither by the wayside. By Dr. John 0. Moseley,

Collegiate News Alpha's ALoha ;\:. THE fall semester found the Alphas busy preparing for their rush parties. Michael Warner, Judy Bricker, and Mary Schultz composed three lively songs for our first coke date. For the first closed party, Dorothy Tank etched profiles of each of the rushees. At the informal party, the rushees found themselves in a Hawaiian setting, complete with swaying palms, Hawaiian music, and beachcomber hats which were given as favors. These parties netted us ten wonderful pledges: Barbara Bliss, Pamela Beckwith, Kaye Buchner, Heather Wright, Linda Faust, Margaret Curtis, Carol Tuesink, Sharon Gale, Barbara Joslin, and Mary Elizabeth Campain. Our initiation was held on December 7 at the home of one of our a lumnae, Mrs. Joyce Nesbitt. Kaye Buchner was awarded the best pledge award, which is a traveling laveliere. Her name was also placed on the plaque which we keep for this purpose. After the pledges had received their pins, we had a delicious potluck dinner prepared by our a lumnae. October found the Alphas working enthusiastically on the float for the Homecoming Parade. The theme was "Great Books," and we chose The Odyssey as our theme. The float depicted a ten-foot Cyclops surrounded by foliage, and the background consisted of the cave which held Ulysses and his men as prisoners. After the thrilling game on Saturday we held a "Cider Sip" for the alumnae who returned to their Alma Mater for the week-end of festivities. Our Founder's Day dinner was held at the Huron Hotel, and as our main speaker we were honored to have Miss Eleanor Meston. THE ANCHOR

These "Potato Turkeys" were very much appreciated, and we hope to continue this project each year. The week before Christmas found us singing Christmas Carols at the hospital. This, too, was enjoyable for both the patients and the actives. We especially enjoyed singing to the children. At the annual a ll campus Christmas sing, the Alphas were proud to wear their new

Beta's Bene/it Dance ;\; ALL Beta girls came back to chool this fall bringing a gift- for the house hower, of course. Each year we have a shower for our House a nd in this way we acquire many extras. Among the o-ift were a piano bench and a used ewing machine, two item that we n eded very bad ! . The shower wa followed by a slu mber party and man tale

The theme at Central this year was "Central Myth-igan" and our float wa called "By Jupiter We'll Win!" The morning of Homecoming Day was spent at our Alumnae Breakfast greetinoa lumn ae whom we hadn't een for a year or more. Everyone topped to watch the parade, though, as parkling Marcia Rosenberg, a member of the Court, rode by on the Queen's float. As u ual, we had many parties and ocial event to attend, but we are alway looking for something new. This emester we had a Mom's Day weekend, January 14-15. All of our Moms were invited up for the weekend. After a get-acquainted tea on Saturday afternoon, we took them to a play. We all came back to the house, then, for a home-cooked dinner a Ia A~T. For the evening's entertainment, we held a mock meeting and all the Mothers participated. Our Mothers stayed in the house for the night while we moved in with the girls from Mt. Pleasant. We were back in time to make breakfast, though. The weekend was a uccess as all the Mothers had a grand time. This semester we acquired four new patronesses, and in order to become better acquainted, we invited them to a tea which took place after our regular meeting on December 8. They learned about us and our different activities through the various skit we enacted. Everyone enjoyed themselves and our patronesses felt much closer to us afterwards. As Christmas drew near, Beta girls were fi lled with good spirit. Along with the Sig Taus we sponsored a Christmas Benefit Dance, the proceeds going to a needy family in the Mt. Pleasant area. We also went Christmas caroling with the Sig Taus. We sang at the Mt. Pleasant State Home and Training School and at the home of all of our patronesses.

The hard work of Mina J ean Voyles, our rush chairman, and the cooperation of a ll the Theta sisters made these parties a great success.

The open house theme was " I ndian Summer." At the informal p arty Friday night the theme was based around the "Navajo Indians." The Saturday morning brunch was " Aztec Indians" and that evening at the picnic the "Apache Indians" theme was followed . "Feast of the Harvest Moon" set the decor for our preferentia l dinner Sunday evening. Rush week was cl imaxed with the p ledging of 18 girls. Our next big event was homecoming. As usual we were very enthused about getting ready for the a lums and putting up house decorations. Our them e which had to be based on a superstition was "Bubbles in a Teacup Mean Visitors Are Coming."

plete the visit we a ll went to church as a group Sunday morning. We felt that we profited much from their visit both as a local chapter and as a national sorority. Next, we all participated as a group in preparing for our informal party which had as its theme "Ski Spree."

SounO JlOvice On :RushinB by ETHEL HIMELICK, Alpha Alpha If rush 1961 sytle is to be a successful year for Alpha Sigma Tau NATION-WIDE, each one of us, collegiates and alumnae, individually and collectively, must give active thought to how we may pledge outstanding girls who can step in for our graduating seniors soon to assume their places in post-college communities. Rush is selection of membership, and membership, whatever its quality, IS the chapter. Rushing is a cooperative project between alumnae and collegiates, and helps strengthen the bonds between us every year.

Remember too that our college is a community and the chapter is a family within the community, and as such has the inherent right of selection. In our family we want girls with scholarship, character, congeniality, stability, interest in extracurricular activities, and financial sufficiency. We list scholarship first because only the person who is able to succeed scholastically will be a longterm asset to the college or the group.

Alumnae: Make a special effort to talk (or pay an informal visit, or write a note) to that lovely girl who sings in the church choir, her friend who is such a good student, your friend's daughter who is so talented and personable. Learn what college they plan to attend. Approach them with genuine interest and friendliness and tell them about Alpha Sigma Tau. Now is the time to gather the necessary information and send it to the rush chairmen. Not every recommended girl will be pledged but every alumna should send a carefully prepared recommendation on any girl she considers a desirable candidate for membership. Collegiates: If our Alpha Sigma Tau chapters from coast to coast are to be consistently outstanding in organization, in scholarship, and in leadership on our campuses, you must give unceasing care in selection of members. We need leaders who will bring us honors and we also need the loyal, cooperative, dependable follower.

To All Alpha Sigma Taus Everywhere Sorority does not end with your college days. You'll get more fun out of life if you join an alumnae group. 路 Stay active if you can, but if you cannot, here's pleasant news. Now non-life members may have the two issues of the ANCHOR for just $1.50 per year. Contact Central Office. THE ANCHOR

Alpha Zeta's Spook Party ;t THE fa ll term has been a happy one for

A lpha Zeta. Those girls, who had gone to convention, were still bubbling over with enthusiasm for the coming term a nd were a nxious to work for it. Because the rushing season a t Queens College sta rted late, we were a ll busy keeping up with a tight rushing-pledging schedule. Our first rush was an introduction to Alpha Sigma T a u. E ach rushee was given a yellow rose to rem ember us by. orne of our alumn ae we re ab le to be the re, which showed the ru shees a v ry wonderful p a rt of life in A !ph a igma T au .

Our second rush was h eld a week before H alloween, o the theme of a pook Party was in keeping with the season . Having the rush in the evening added to the a tmo phere. The sisters dre sed either as gho ts or witche . The room was rather dark with decora tion of spiders, webs, and ghosts floa ting a bout, e t cetera . W e served H a lloween refre hment . For entertainment we told a ucce full y scary horror story. The other highlight of the e\路e ning was a m ysterious mind-reading act, whic h to this day only the two gir ls who performed it, know. 'Ve also played a number of H a llowee n gam es and san <T ong . The last ru sh is tradition a lly a dinner. This year Alpha Zeta served an Ita lia n dinne r. The room was m ade to look like a n Ita lian resta ura nt. The ta bles were covered with red a nd white checked tablec loths, and we a te by candlelight. The food was delicious. fte r dinner we a ll sang sorority song . We were all sitting on pins a nd need! s until we found out which g irls we would be pledging. Were we thrilled when we found out tha t we wo uld be pledging all fou r girl we wa nted: J oan Bradl ey, Betty Co lbert, Bunny D agati, a nd J ane M eltz. They a re a ll so wonderful a nd Alpha Ze ta is ve ry proud of them . The pledging was a joyo us evening. From then on the pledge worked a t their pledge duti es a nd rehearsing for their pledge skit. The skit was called " This W a Your Life" a nd they used the life of Dr. J ohn Theoba ld, the ex-pre ident of Queens Co llege. It was a Ye ry funn y ski t and the costumes looked very good . At the end of the fa ll term we celebra ted the initia tion of our four new si ters into Alpha Zeta . We a ll m et at Linda Ba ntel's house for the ceremony.

Alpha Theta's "Mr. Mileage" ;\:. N oT long a fter the fa ll semeste r I egan. Alpha Theta was p la nning to ta ke pa rt in the H omecoming pa rade a t the niversity of D etroit. Working with the genera l th eme of the floats- ad vertising slogans- we designed our float as a tribute to the former president of U of D , the V ery R ev. C. J. Steiner, who was to retire shortly after H omecoming. During his unde rgradu a te days at of D , our former president had been a T itan quarterback ; so we represented him in Tita n uni form as " M r. Mileage of 19 16." Our " M r. Mileage,'' surrounded by Alph a Sigma T a us wea ring turn-of-the-century costumes, rode down the avenue in a 1910 Pierce-Arro w. After the p arade, F a ther Steiner tha nked u and offered to be " Alph a Sigma T au's boy" a t U of D . Rushing and pledging were the next m a jor events for Alph a Thetas. For our fin a l r ush tea we chose the Pa risia n a tmosphere suggested by " A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, a nd thou ." The efforts we a ll made to have successful rush a nd p ledge period s pa id us the fin e dividend of seven lovely new m embers. As the sem ester was dra wing to a close, Alpha Thetas pose on their float with the Very Re v. C . J. Steiner, former president of U. of Detroit.

ague, ew York. The evening wa climaxed by a song fest around the campfire a nd everyone agreed that the evening was a tremendous success. Rushing began early in October a t Brooklyn. Panhellenic coordinates the rushing schedules of the individual groups. The first rush is a Panhellenic Open House. The purpose of this is to introduce the freshmen girls to sorority, as a whole. At the Open Hou se each sorority is represented by a display a nd by a short talk. Alph a Omega's rush theme this year was famous restaurants. We invited our rushees to dine on Chinese food a t the Hou se of Chan, on rainbow parfaits at Jahns a nd on fresh pinea pple at the Hawaiian "400" Room . For each rush the sorority house was decorated a ppropria tely. Apparently our rushes were successfu l, because from rushing Alpha Omega gained 22 wonderful pledges. The girls were informally installed as pledges by a ribbon pinning a nd by a beautiful candle lighting ce remony. The rushees were formally installed as Alpha Sigma Tau pledges in a ceremony held at the Hotel Astor. W e had a love ly suite of rooms decorated in green and gold. Following dinner the new pledges were serenaded. THE ANCHOR

During the six weeks of pledging our pledges wear a di tinctive outfit: a green and go ld cap with the sorority name, white socks a nd g loves, a white co ll a r a nd a green a nd yellow tie with their name on it. They carry a green fe lt bag. In their outfits, our pledges are among the cutest on campus. As pledging progres ed Alpha Omega discovered that its pledges were even more wonderful than we h ad expected. Elaine Sosler, a finalist in the Miss Brooklyn Conte t, was elected Goddess of Greek Week. She represented the goddes of fertility, Demeter. Elaine was dressed in gold satin d raped with white chiffon . To complete h er costume, she carried a sheaf of golden wheat. As she reigned over the Greeks, Elaine was truly as regal as a goddess. Greek Week is jointly sponsored by Panhellenic and Interfratern ity Cou nci l. During this week the pledge classes of both sororities a nd fraternities are encouraged to become better acquainted with each other. E ach day is designated for a special event : Play Day. Turnabo ut D ay, a nd Sing. During Play Day the pledges compete against each other in relays, stunts, a nd games. Our very agile girls placed second in this competition. Turnabout Day followed Play Day. At this time the girls pledged for the fraternities and the fraternity pledges pledged for the sororities. This gave the girls an opportunity to meet the fra ters. For obvious reasons the girls enjoyed Turn abo ut D ay most of all the Greek Week activities. To end this week, the pledge classes of the sororities presented their Pledge Sings to a n a udience of fraters and sorors. Our theme was the Alph a Sigma Tau Military. The pledges wrote original words to military tun e . The Sing was very successful. The judging of pledge scra pbooks brought Alpha Omega another trophy. Our book. based on Greek M yths, won first prize. Once again Alpha Omega is represented in the ROTC Ange l Flight. This year three of our girls, Janet Levine, Eve F elsenthal, a nd Eda K esse lman, a re among tho e 15 girls chosen from the numerous candida tes for thi honor.

Philadelphia's Purple Bull -.\". THE activities of the Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter began with a meeting of the executive committee at the home of president Lois O'Dell in September. Plans were formulated for monthly meetings the first of which was in October at the home of Betty Maisch in Glenside. Founders' Day was ce lebrated with our traditional banquet, this year at the John Bartram Hotel. Deanna Tremer, chairman for this event, provided the program in the person of her husband who showed magnificent slides of Japan and gave a most interesting and informative talk on conditions in J apan as he found them during his two years there. December brought a change of scene from the Orient to Europe when we attended an elaborate and delicious Norwegian Christmas breakfast at the home of Emily R eedy in Cheltenham. This sumptuous meal was followed by a surprise shower for the hostess who had just recently announced her engagement. After Emily recovered her composure and finished opening her many lovely gifts, we all exchanged gifts with each other. It was a delightful pre-Christmas party. Our January meeting was the occasion of the first, but I'm sure not the last, white elephant sale for the Philadelphia Alums. Since money was not our primary object, we charged mere pennies for bidding on the white elephants and we all thought we took home wonderful bargains. Though the articles brought had no special value to the donor, each immediately appeared lovely or useful to several people present- with the exception of the condiment server in the form of a dreadful purple bull. And we all had so much fun trying not to win this monstrosity that it was perhaps the most outstanding article of the sale. February brought more snow- indeed, the Blizzard of '61. This made it necessary to cancel our F ebruary meeting. Not so with the wedding of Emily Reedy on February 4, the day of the big snow. There will surely be many tales told for many years about this "worst snow storm in 85 years," and surely Emily will have her contribution to this lore T H E ANCHO R

as she reminisces about her wedding day. The service took place two hours late, the bride's mother was transported to the church in the florist's truck and the honeymoon to Bermuda had to be postponed. H owever, Emily has written from her new address- 95 Leland T errace, New Shrewsbury, New J ersey- that all is well. We of the Phil adelphia Alumnae join in wishing every happiness for Emily and her husband in their new life. She is now Mrs. Arthur Schopp. We are looking forward now to spring though we cannot quite believe all this snow will ever completely vanish. However, our next meeting calls for fair weather for we plan to travel to New J ersey for a luncheon at the home of Jane Howe. Other spring p lans include a meeting at the new home of Ethel Weimar in Feasterville, our annual spring luncheon, this year to be planned by Phyllis Clark of Wayne, and a family picnic. -BETTY ALLISON

An 0 pen Letter to ALl Omicron Alumnae DEAR SrsTERS OF ALPHA SrGMA TAu, -.\". "SoMEWHERE over the rainbow . .. where dreams really do come true." Omicron of Alpha Sigma Tau has a dream . .. it is emerging from the mists ... it will come true! The dream is a lodge for the collegiate chaptera place for business meetings, rush parties and other social activities. It will be located near the Concord College campus. The growing chapter, whose members number more than 40, is a group in which you would be proud to serve. The sorority has possession of the two most coveted awards, presented by the college Panhellenic Conference: The Scholarship Cup and the Women's Intramural Award. Many of the Alpha T aus hold major offices in other campus organizations and serve on the dormitory council. You can, indeed, be proud of your chapter. For several years, one of the national sororities at Concord has been privileged to own a lodge. It is a tremendous as et to that 55

group. Alpha Sigma Tau is worthy of similar assistance. The goal is "A Dream Come True in 1962.'' Won' t you help realize th a t aoal? Your personal check for ten dollars, more or less, will be received with gratitude. Contributions may be sent to the Treasurer of Alpha Sigma Tau in Athens, \Ve t Virginia; along with your cu rrent address. A.cknowledgments will not be sent from the ch apter. However, you will be invited to Open House at the lodge, upon its completion. ee you a t the lodge in 1962? Fwt ernally Yours, SuE CRABTREE AND MARY CATHERINE BoNEs

Springfield's South Pacific Party ;\; ANOTHER year gone by, and we in Springfield find ourselves busier than ever. Working closer with the collegiate group, we were happy to see it growing better and stronger as the year progressed. Early in the year we saw the group settled into the lovely n ew chapter house. Ever in search of needed furnishings and serving pieces, we joined forces with the Mother's Club to provide a n ew coffee urn and assisted the group in buying a si lver tea service. Early fall saw us engulfed in rush. In assisting the collegiate group, we took responsibility for the first rush party, " A Trip to the South Pacific." Entertainment included an original song, a comedy routine, an original dance, and even the husba nds got in on the act! Tropical fruit was served ka-bob style amid nautical decorations. At Homecoming we were happy to see many fami liar faces at our traditional luncheon, held at the Grove this year. Both a lum nae and collegiates combined to enjoy a n elegant lunch eon before adjourning to the footba ll game, the tea h eld at the cha pter house, and later the dance. In orde r to become better acquainted with new p ledges, a dessert was given by the a lumnae for the collegiate group in Novem ber. vVe were honored that fellowships were awarded to Sue Darr and J eanette Burchard.

St. Louis Hears Indian Speaker t As usua l we started our fall activities with the annual breakfast in Forest Park. This event is fi lled with m a ny diversified topics of conversation, ranging from vacations just comp leted a nd th e school year just beginning. The only difficu lty is that with so many interesting topics of conversa tion going on at the same time you are bound to miss someone's exciting recollection . Of course appetites are hardy in this stimulating environment as wel l. The first meeting after a "care-free" sum m er is a lways a pot luck supper with each sorority sister bringing a favorite dish (with something inside it ) . The favorites this time proved to be dessert. In fact, we were so amply supplied with desserts that some were sold to be taken horne and the money put in the treasury. A nice surprise for the treasurer. We certain ly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of dining on Elizabeth Wil on's patio. It was nice to linger but business awaited . J acq ueline Hudson gave a fine resume on the recent convention, which helped those of us who were unable to a ttend to understa nd events better. Founders' D ay was celebrated with a ba nquet on November 9. A very enlightening ta lk was given by Mr. Gopal C houthu ry, an India n architect who h a studied in the U nited States. His ta lk was e ntitled "As An Easterner L ooks a t a 楼\' estern Cu lture." The active took part in the entertainment.

In October three officers were installed in an impressive initiation ceremony. Jan Anderson and Lynn Ensz assisted hirley Gore at the meeting in her home. The Hickory House was the setting for our well attended Founders' Day Dinner on ovember 16, 1960. This is one of the occasion that bring back many collegiate memories for the alumnae! About fifteen couples gathered for a Christmas covered dish dinner and party in the home of Caroline Dawson in December. Cohostesses for the party were Delores Strahm, Marilyn Nuckolls and Helen Pfan chmidt. A white elephant gift exchange followed an evening of playing games, charades and carol singing.

fees passed upon at the convention and enjoyed hearing reports of the entire meeting. Plans were made for our Founders' Day, which was held October 21st at the Auditorium Hotel. We had 19 there, including three girls from Grand Junction, Colorado. Since our Founders' Day celebration is held during Teacher's Convention, we are always glad to see the out-of-town alumnae. Initiation was held during our ovember meeting at the home of Margaret Cudmore for Winnie Black and Florenell Stackhouse, who somehow, had never had the privilege of being initiated into an a lumnae group. Again, we welcomed new members- Shirley Bales, Doris F am1er and LaVonne Lippitt. Several of our members attended the November Panhellenic Scholarship Luncheon a nd Fashion Show held at the new DenverHilton Hotel. Eleanor McKeeman had planned to attend, but instead, she joined 1rs. Peterson for the inspection of Iota Chapter at Emporia, K ansas. Eleanor was made Area Supervisor for Colorado and Kansas at the convention. In December we had a delicious Smorgasbord luncheon at the apartment of Elizabeth O sborne. Betty Owens joined us and added another new name to our rolls. The beginning of the new year found us gathered again for luncheon at Juanita Emerick's home. This time we had two more new girls-Betty Englen and Edna Kline.

We may soon outgrow our members' houses -but we will welcome such growth as it happens. Our January meeting was full of plans for the next few months. On February 11th, we will have a party for our best sweethearts (husbands or boy friends, as the case may be ) at the home of Shirley Bales. Plans were also made for our very first State Day, to be held on Saturday, April 15th. The place is still not definite, but it will be in Denver. We'll have luncheon, with entertainment, and are very hopeful of a good turnout. Our members will also participate in the Panhellenic Council's program of serving snacks on Sunday evenings at the USO. We also will participate in the Needlework Gui ld's Annual Ingathering during May. And so we grow and progress. It has been a good year so far, and promises to be even better during the months to come.- EoNA McCoRMACK.

We quickly jumped from summer to anticipation of Christmas with our second annual toy party in October. We found this was a wonderful way to get some of our Christmas shopping for our little ones out of the way early. Our profits went towards filling the stockings of needy children. Our next three meetings were delicious ones. Our Founders' Day Banquet found all of us chief cook and bottle washers and the food was superb. Christmas gave us another wonderful excu e to enjoy our elve over tasty desert. In January we held our meeting at Con umers Power and the ga e us some wonderful menu ideas.

Why

Exp(/nsion

by PHYLLIS WESTERMAN ,

Alpha Om icron Pi What Sorority project is the mo t vital today and yet possibly the least understood by the average alumna? Without contradiction the answer must be EXPANSION. It is the keystone of a sorority's present position and future standing in the Greek world as we enter the decade of th e ixtie . Thi holds true for every ational Panhellenic organization. If you doubt this tremendous stress placed on growth, you have only to check the ational Panhe llenic tabulation of new chapters for the past two years. This amazing fact will meet your eye- from 1957-59 176 new chapters were chartered. Is there any doubt but that sororities are on the move and AOII must keep in step? There is no standing still because in reality that means going backward as others move ahead. Today's rushees want a big hearty fraternity with chapters everywhere ... good chapters, naturally, but at least a name that everyone knows. Alpha Phi summed up the subject: "From the standpoint of the fraternities, themselves, each new chapter represents

•••

greater strength in rushing, more money to finance expanded fraternity programs, more a lumnae to support more new chapter . The Boom is bound to continue." GEO RGE H. JON ES JR., Extension

Chairman of Sigma Chi "Why not be small and exclusive? Let the rest rush into every college that comes along if they want to. We'll tay selective and maintain our traditional prestige; it will be more of an honor than ever to be a member," says the old grad. nfortunately today's rushees don' t seem to want a 'proud old house with 20 chapter in the finest schools in the country.' The self- atisfaction of older alumni members, who grew up a college tradition that has almost faded away, of those national fraternities which have been long on exclusiveness and short on number of chapters is crumbling these days. Almost pathetically, they are belatedly di covering that the current undergraduates of their chapters usually don't spring from "fine old families." They are surprised that younger fraternity chapters, which for years had no eclat, are often healthier than their own .

• • • ALPHA SIGMA TAU POLICY ON MEMBERSHIP SELECTION ;\; WE recommend that our membership selection is made within the following framework: 1. This sorority is primarily a social organization built on spiritual ideal . 2. Written recommendation of rushees aid in judicious selection. 3. A ademic adequacy is requisite to sucssf u I sorority participation.

4. The A~T constitution provides no restriction of member hip because of race, creed, or religion o as young college women you are free to choo e, as a chapter whom you wish for members. 5. A thinkina member of America ou cannot evade the neces it of educating your elve to the need of toda ' iety; inde d, you mu t vie' ocial problem < op-

THE

H R

portunities to disp lay the truth and loveliness of A~T ideals, to put these ideals actively to work as a leavening in a world of fear, confusion, and cynicism. If you live the A~T creed you each have spoken so

often, you cannot fai l to enrich your own life and that of the sister beside you. THE NATIONAL CouNCIL OF

ALPHA SIGMA TAU

ALPHA SIGMA TAU POLICY ON MERGING ;\; AT the present time, Alpha Sigma Tau is not interested in merging its organization with that of another sorority. We do not want to relinquish or alter the principles and ideals which make up the fiber of our sisterr .ood. Practically peaking, since more colleges are being established and more students are crowding into existing colleges, the opportunities for establishing new chapters of Alpha Sigma Tau are greater than they have been for many years. The desire of many college administrators is to break down their massive enrollments into small units which

provide close social contacts and worthwhile cultural guidance. This leads us to believe that Alpha Sigma Tau has an opportunity to serve the college world under the banner of its own distinctive traditions and government. The constitution states quite clearly that no dissolution of this sorority can be carried out without a proper vote from the membership of the collegiate and alumnae groups and the consent of the National Council. THE NATIONAL CouNCIL OF

ALPHA SIGMA TAU

What Alpha Sigma Tau Means to Me ;\; WEBSTER's dictionary defines a sorority as a club of girls or women; as in a college. My impression of a sorority before association with one was a very stereotyped group of girls, a clique- a group of girls whose existence together excluded everyone and everything around them. During rushing I was shocked and surprised by the genuine warmth and sincere friendship shown to me at the Alpha Sigma Tau house. I didn't think that such natural warmth and friendliness cou ld exist in a University the size of Syracuse. As a pledge I have found that Alpha Sig has given me more than I ever hoped to find in a sorority. Alpha Sigma Tau means

THE ANCHOR

more to me than a second home, more than a group of friends to do something with, more than an escape from the loneliness of university dorms. Alpha Sigma Tau has come to mean love, sisterhood, an indescribable closeness with a group of girls so different in every respect. I am ure that the friendships I have made since I became a pledge will last longer than my college career for Alpha Sig is bound together by a bond stronger than compulsion or fore the bond of sisterly love. In closing Alpha Sigma Tau means home to me with all of the connotations that it should have.-SusAN GouLD, Alpha Iota Chapter
