HISTORY of ALPHA SIGMA TAU t ALPHA SIGMA T A
was founded at the Michigan State Normal College, Ypsilan ti, Michigan, November 4, 1899, by Mrs. Elmer A. Lyman and eight college girls. In 1900

two more advisers were added to the a-roup Miss Ad a A. Norton and Mi Abigail Pea rce . From the ver beginnina- the m mber were determined that Alpha iQlna Tau
.H R
shou ld some day be a national sorority. The first ten years of Alpha Sigma Tau's livelihood was a period of establishing firm footing and of moving slowly toward national development. The first sister chapter, Beta. was established at Central Michigan College of Education, Mt . P leasant, Michigan. in 1905; and a third chapter, Gamma, was organized at Milwaukee State Teachers College. Milwauhe, Wisconsin, in 1909. During these years, a constitution developed by Alpha Chapter, was adopted by Beta and Gamma chapters. Considerable sorority ritual was also set down. Never forgetting their dedication to the "ethical. cultural, and social development of their members" in the next decade, the small local sorority travelled eastward to found D elta at Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1916then to Philadelphia with Lambda Chapter
at Temple University. Along with these chapters came the inspired guidance of loyal advisers, Mary St. Clair King and Araminta McLane. Finally, with the addition of Sigma at Buffalo in June, 1925, and with the required pub lication of a national magazine, THE ANCHOR, A:ST was admitted to AES . A new decade of growth under the leadership of Edith Mansell brought six new chapters and a fourth district. The college at Lock Haven began granting degrees in 1926; sororities were again admitted to Indiana, so in that year both Zeta and Delta came back to A:ST. Mrs. Lyman lived to know that her beloved sorority would achieve nationalization-for she died just two weeks after she installed Sigma Chapter. In the following decade, though the NPC a nd AES functioned separately, their fields (Continued on next page)

overlapped and it was inevitable that they should merge. In 1947 the six sororities in AES were accepted as associate members. The fifth decade in the life of Alpha Sigma Tau was fittingly climaxed with a golden anniversary convention at Detroit in 1949. Alpha Sigma Tau achieved significant progress in the early years of its sixth decade. The most important development was the affiliation with National Panhellenic Conference. After two years' probationary status, Alpha Sigma Tau was voted a full member of the National Panhellenic Conference in December, 1951. A new chaptei . Alpha Lambda, at Radford College, Radford, Virginia, was installed in 1953. In 1958, Alpha Zeta chapter was installed at Queens Co llege, Flushing, New York. In 1959, two more chapters were brought into the fold: Alpha Eta, Alma College, Alma,
Michigan and Alpha Theta, University of Detroit, Detroit, Michigan. The seventh decade brought further expansion with the installation in 1960 of Alpha Iota, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York and Alpha Omega, Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, New York. In 1961, Alpha Kappa chapter at Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio was formally installed. In 1962, we find two groups of pledged sisters, Alpha Mu Agricultural and Mechanical College, College Heights Arkansas and Alpha Nu, Central Mi ouri State College Warrensburg Missoun. During the past 63 years, Alpha Sigma Tau has continued to grow and prosper under the leadership of national presidents, Mrs. H. E. Staehle, Mrs. S. Carl Robinson and Mrs. Earl F. Peterson. Collegiate and alumnae membership is now approaching 10,000.

TRADITIONS FOUnOE "~ DRY
~
TRADITIONS grow up from customs which are practised by individua l chapters and then are later adopted by other chapters. In this way many lovely ceremonies and services become national traditions. These traditions deepen the feeling of national unity and strengthen the bonds of si terhood . Alpha Sigma T au has many traditions such as: National Founders' Day ALPHA SIGMA TAu was founded ovember 4, 1899, at Ypsilanti, Michigan. On that day every year each chapter has a banquet followed by a suitable program. Alumnae chapters, if near the coll ege town, have their Founders' Day celebration with the collegiate chapter.
C hapter Founders' Day EAcH CHAPTER has a celebration on the day when it became national, reviewing its history and honoring its chapter founders.
Hom eco ming EACH YEAR on a traditional date every chapter has a homecoming for its alumnae held at the college where the collegiate chapter is located. This can be held either on National Founders' D ay or on Chapter Founders' Day. In M emoriam AT EACH NATIONAL CONVENTION memorial services are held for those sisters who have passed away during two intervening years. The nationa l chaplain arranges the program for th e ervices. Daughters' Club ALPHA SIGMA TAU m embers whose mothers also belonged to Alpha Sigma Tau belong automatically to the Daughters' Club. The Candle L ighting S ervice A CANDLE LIGHTING SERVICE based On Alpha Sigma Tau ideals was originated by Pi Chapter. It is used after initiation services and at banquets.

NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE ASSERTS By
GENEVIEVE
F.
MoRSE,
;\; ON November 13, 1961, the thirty-seventh session of the National Panhellenic Conference, meeting at the San Marcos Hotel, in Chandler, Arizona, was called to order by Mrs. Joseph D. Grigsby, Chairman of the NPC Executive Committee. Co-hostesses with Delta Delta Delta were Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta. New Chapters In her report for the biennium, Mrs. Grigsby reviewed accomplishments of the various standing committees of NPC; reported that a collegiate chapter had been installed every five and a half days during the past period, largely because of the new campuses interested in having NPC groups, and the need to add more chapters on campuses where enrollment has shown a marked mcrease. "Due to increased enrollment and interest in fraternity," Mrs. Grigsby said, "it seems evident that fraternity membership should be made available and possible for more young women on campuses. Indeed, there should be additional chapters placed and perhaps even some new fraternities added to the list. In Alpha Sigma Tau was represented at the National Panhellenic Conference by Mrs. James Alexander, executive secretary; Mrs. Justin Doyle, a national vice-president; and Mrs. Earl Peterson, national president.
Kappa D elta
spite of this, the pressure on some campuses to bring about conformity on local autonomy continues .... The cause and source of pressure hould be recognized and the method and results need to be studied." Mrs. Nash, Secretary, reported that 112 new chapters had been installed between ovember, 1959 and 1961, and 40 additional groups pledged or colonized for installation in the next few months. ine of the 20 chapters closed were on the Randolph-Macon Woman's College campus. ew alumnae groups organized were 344 in number, and the total number of new members 84,988. Miss Dyer, Treasurer, said that there had been so many demands for the revised Manual of Information ( 1958 edition ), that a second printing had been required. Those in attendance at the meeting totalled 151 - 29 delegates; 50 alternates; and 72 visitors. Three Major Issues Mrs. E. Granville Crabtree, Secretary of the IRAC Committee, gave an interesting report of the work of this committee, including the Resolution adopted at the meeting held in Williamsburg, in June. She stated that there are three major issue to be considered at the present time: 1. The need for a new intellectual dimension in fraternity life; 2. Plans evolved to meet the inroads of subversive influences on college campuses; 3. Protection of our legal right to control our m 1gn1a.
Young Americans for Freedom now ha e 180 or more clubs, according to Mrs. Robert W. Preston, Delta Gamma. Last year thi organization received an award from Freedoms Foundation. Panels were conducted b the City P nhellenics Committ e Mr . Ru Il T . o tell THE A

NEED FOR EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN Our alternate delegate, Mrs. Justin Doyle, wrote in summarizing the accomplishments of the Conference: "Stress was placed on the great strides being made by subversives in infiltrating the college campus, classroom, clubs, and collegiate minds, and the great need for educating our own groups in the true aims of the Communists, the ways they work to secure their purposes, and the danger of being taken in by their glib, 'planted' agitators who stimulate feelings of frustration, discontent, envy and resentment and then interpret results as 'moral' and 'noble' and create a feeling of superiority. Indirectly these activists by the 'noble' and 'moral' line evoke feelings of sympathy and self-importance which supersede facts and wisdom about liberty and therefore trap many teachers, students, writers, clergy and just good people! " It was resolved that we all recommend to our chapters a program of study of this problem. Idea was also to stress the 'Pro' American side instead of the 'Anti' Red side."
Delta Zeta, C hairma n ; the College Panhellenics Committee, Mrs. J ames W. H ofstead, K appa Alpha T heta, C ha irman ; and the R esearch and Public Affairs Committee, M rs. M ary Love Co llins, C hairman . "T he College Woman Today- H er Opportum ties and Influ ences"- was the topic chosen for her talk, by Dean L illi an J ohnson, of the U niversity of C incinnati . This was an exce ll ent talk, a nd carried additiona l weight by vi rtue of the fac t that Dean J ohnson is the C ha irman of th e National Association of Women Deans and Counse llors. Mrs. R obert S. W il d, Pi Beta Phi, and C hairman of the N PC -NAWDC Liaison Comm ittee, presented Miss J ohnson, and presided during the que tion and answer period which followed her talk. In her report as College Panhellenics Cha irma n, Mrs. H ofstead emphasized the need to rem ind co llege Panhellenics, annua ll y, of the various N PC Agreements. " Among 48 campuses, 56 new cha pters were insta lled ; 10 new campuses opened ; and one closed to sororities," reported Mrs. Edwin D. Liss, C hairman of the Extension Commi ttee. Twenty-one inquiries were made by C ity Panhellenics, loca l sororities, and others ; THE ANCHOR
twenty-nine inquiries were received from the dea n's office of other universities. A booklet, A ddition al Ext ensien Procedures, is being prepared for publication. Mrs. John J. Dimond, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Chairman of the Citizenship Committee, reiterated that: " the Nationa l Panhellenic Conference (recognize ) the value of keeping constantly before ourselves a well defined appreciation of our American H eritage and at the same time an awa reness that citizenship implies a positive persona l activity directed toward the preservation and perpetua tion of the heritage." In her report as C hairm an of the City Panhellenics Committee, Mrs. Costello said tha t 35 new city Panhellenics have been added, 34 by new affili ation, and one by reactivation. The total number, as of September 1, 1961, was 312. A Ma nual of I nstruction, for use by area advisors, was prepared by th e C hairman, and adopted by the Conference. The Housing Committee report included the information th at in the U nited States, the va lue of houses owned by sorority a nd fraternity groups amounts to over 112 million dollars, the number of houses owned 13
being 904. Mrs. Gerald Arnold, Gamma Phi Beta, is chairman of this committee. Mrs. Collins, in her report of the Research and Public Affairs Committee, declared that: "greater intensity and speed of efforts by persons or groups to control Greek letter societies in the choice of members by ( 1) asking college Panhellenics to poll their members; (2) by separating chapters from national and alumnae influence; ( 3 ) by twisting a 'political' issue into a 'moral' issue; ( 4 ) by sla nted questionnaires to individuals or chapters; ( 5 ) inter-campus cooperation." Threat to Freedom Inspector W. C. Sullivan, Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, chose communism as the topic of his address on Tuesday night. He stated that college students have a significant role in the fight against communism. " The recurrent shock of our age," he said, " is that a more secure past is no longer valid." It is the first time that we have been faced with the need for effective opposition to communism, therefore, '路it is a far-reaching revolutionary period in history; we are faced with a total challenge of our entire body of thought and practices; and there is a conflict of values. The central issue is not capitalism vs. communism, but the threat to freedom of thought, action, inquiry, association, and worship." Women and young people are targets, especially edu -
cated women. The approach to them is through the desire for peace. The guest speaker for the formal banquet, Thursday night, was Dr. Homer G. Durham, President of Arizona State University. His topic was "The Educational Frontier and the Role of Deliberate Choice." He emphasized that the development of human character is an urgent political necessity the year round. Mrs. W. C. Roberts, Zeta Tau Alpha, Chairman of the Committee on Awards, preented THE FRATERNITY MoNTH Award, given by Mr. and Mrs. Leland F. Leland, to the Auburn University Panhellenic. Miss Sandra Reilly, president of the Panhellenic, accepted the award. Present for the occasion was Miss K a therine Cater, Dean of Women at Auburn University. The NPC Award was earned by Auburn in 1959. The NPC Trophy, presented by the :'-rPC Executive Committee of 1955-1957, was awarded to the University of Cincinnati Panhellenic. In the absence of the pre ident of that group, Dean Johnson accepted the trophy. An interesting event of the Conference wa the address made by Kay Wonderlic, whose article on NSA was reprinted in our Fall 1961 ANCHOR. She suggests that students work for an educational emphasis in NSA, ridding the association of its legislative activities on a national level, and concentrate on learning

THE
.H R
One of the resolutions adopted at the thirty-seventh session was to the effect that: "The National Panhellenic Conference undertake an educational campaign directed toward bringing to the public a fuller knowledge of the organization, operation, structure, purpose. and benefits of the national fraternal system ." The IRAC R esolution adopted June 3, 1961 , was reaffirmed, as was the D ec laration of Freedom, adopted in 1953. In addition, the following was unanimously adopted: " 11 hereas, carefully documented records prove the initiating forces in political, economic and socia l conflicts in every cou ntry, including our own, and 路' W h eTeas, the founders of our country pledged ' their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor' to achieve for themse lves and posterity 'the blessings of liberty' " T heTefoTe, as inheritors of that liberty . ational Panhellenic Conference endorses the IRAC R eso lution and the members of a tion al Panhellenic Conference accept responsibi lity for the edu cationa l effort among their members to accom plish understanding of th e principles of the IRAC R esolution and the Nat iona l Panhellenic D eclaration for Freedom."
and stimulating thought through national gatherings for lectures, debates, seminars and discus ions. She said students must have commitments. The sorority should help its members to find themselves. It should challenge them and interest them in following the steps that lead to this discovery.
In closing Miss Wonderlic says "NSA itself is inanimate-it is the student, the individual, with whom we must be concerned. Only through his thoughtfulness and commitment can a problem such as NSA be solved." The NPC Editors' Conference, of which Mrs. James J. Marek, Gamma Phi Beta, was chairman, held its biennial meeting concurrently with that of National Panhellenic Conference. A special lecture was given to the group by Mr. Edward E . M cC lellan, M a n age r, Advertising and Promotion, Motorola Military Electronics Division, followed by a workshop. A second workshop was held with the Central Office Executives. Th e Bra s T acks Dinner, a traditional event of this Conference, was h eld on Wednesday evemng. The Proj ects Committee, of which Miss H elen Glenn, Alpha D elta Pi, was chairman, reported that a survey h ad been made concerning the scholastic standing of sorority members on co llege campuses in the United States a nd Canada. D ean Johnson, when discussing scholarship, remarked that greater emphasis should be placed on the development of a love of learning, rather than on high marks. At the conclusion of the Conference, the gavel was turned over to Mrs. vVilliam Nash, Alpha Xi D elta, new Chairman of the NPC Executive Committee. Miss Elizabeth D yer, Chi Omega, will serve as Secretary during the coming biennium ; and Mrs. Karl Miller, Sigma Kappa, as Treasurer. A delightful tea was given at the M emoria l Union, at the Arizona Sta te University, in Tempe, Friday afternoon, by the local Panhellenic, for those in attendance at the Nationa l Panhellenic Conference. Thm ended the stay in the Valley of the Sun.

As the winners of this competition we recei ,路ed two trophies, one which we are to keep a nd th e other which we will k e~ p for a year before passing it on to the n ext wmner. The theme of our Homecoming was adverti ing loo路a ns. Our fl oat th eme was, " If yo~ care enough to join the very be t, A::ET." Tht was a take-off on the well known H a llma rk Card slogan.

Zetas Have Highest Average at Lock Haven t
VlHEN the Zetas returned to chool this fall , they were already making plans for our big fall event- Homecoming. Thi year's overall theme was "Columbu to Canaveral," and the theme of the Tau float was "River! oat on the Mississippi." W e made our float to res mbl an old riv rboat with a huge
36
paddle wheel at the end and a large makestack on top. Along the side in huge green letters were the words "Paddle Bloom" (Bloomsburg State College) . The decorating scheme was green, white and yellow and Sue Fulmer, '64 was to ride the float in a white ball gown. The other sisters, in black dresses, were to follow the float in white convertible . However, due to inclement weather the parade was called off. The next big sorority event was the Founders' Day Banquet, held at the Village Tea Room in Williamsport with the Wil-路 liamsport alumnae. Following the dinner, four rrirls were pin pledged. They were: Ann Adams, Fran Maher, Pegge Piper and Renee Scott. And we gained another member through open rush. She is Patti Rain '63. This year, one of the Taus i an officer in the Student Co-operative Council. Anita Schatmeyer '63 is Corresponding ecretary. Other Taus serving on the SCC Board of Directors are: Barbara Johnson, Pat Breen, Carol Pauling and Marty Becker. Again also, the Taus have been active in athletics here at Lock Haven. Four of the WAA officers are Taus. Marty Willits is President, Joan Sabaka is Vice Pre ident, Marty Becker is SCC delegate and Renee Scott is Parliamentarian. The varsity rosters also contain many Tau names. The Zeta received the recognition for the highest scholastic average here at Lock Haven State. This is the fifth traight semester that we Zetas have held this honor. Early in December, Patricia Pringle, our president, was initiated into Kappa Delta Pi, national honorary society. Other KAII' are Cindy Walter and Theresa Howberg. One of the Taus' money making projects thi year was the selling of Christmas Cards. L ee Finch was again our high aleswoman: She sold forty boxes of cards. On December 13, we Zetas had our Chri tmas Party. W e began by singing Chri tmas Carol at the old folks home and the ho pita!, after which we returned to the recreation room for food entertainment and the exchanging of gifts.

Theta Buys Leader Dog ~ D o vou believe in the legend of th e bridal
bouquet? As it goes, the girl who ca tches the bouqu et is supposed to marry within a year. This legend came true for the Theta sisters. Joan Kuehn, a recent a lumna, and Diane Kajkowski, an active, imultaneously caught Caroly (Kopetko) H argis' bouquet and, now, Joanie is married as of D ecember 29, and Diane is engaged to be married in June. A sister of the Alpha chapter, Judy M cGregor, who had been an active on our campus for one semester, gave us one of Alpha's ideas for our first rush party. It was " Around the World with A::ST." All of the girls dressed in beautiful, colorful costumes from different lands. Among the countries represented were: J apan, Holland, Poland , Scotla nd, Switzerland, and Mexico. The room was decora ted with brightly colored flags from the 50 states and travelogue posters. To add to the theme we played record s of music from different lands in the background. Our a lumnae helped us out by serving coffee, tea, and cake and by being lovely hostesses. Ou r formal rush party was held in Wayne's beautiful McGregor Building. Thanks to the combined efforts of our two Ru sh Co-chairmen, Shirlee M arshall and Barbara Bestrom, we pledged three girls of whom we are very proud. They are: Yvonne C apone, a psychology sophomore; Sandra Rudus, a n education sophomore; and M ary Ann Szywala, an education junior. W e a reeted our three pledges with a party and :ana " Th e Ribbons of Emera ld and Gold." b After the party, we immediately got to work on our Homecoming float This year our campus them e was the circus aimed at getting the family to the Homeco~ing game.

We made the mother and father lions of white and yellow paper carnations, and the baby lion was little Frankie Moriconi. Our theme was "R oar to Victory." Although we didn't pl ace in the contest, our Homecoming Chairmen, Kay Kuttner and Marsha Bachenko, saw to it that a ll of us had a lot of fun building the flo at and presenting it. After the flo a t parade, we dona ted the animals on our Aoa t to a chi ldren's hospital. (We kept Frankie, of course.) Panhell Olympics again provided us with a lot of fun with other sororities. We took prizes in the raw-egg toss and wheel-barrel races, although we didn't place in the overall point . We ce lebrated Founders' D ay as guests of our alum nae at the Roostertail restaurant. They entertained us with a "F ashion Show of Yesteryear." We fou nd it very rewarding to celebra te Founders' D ay with those who know the meaning of the day so well, our a lumn ae. Our schedule of parties was headed by a cocktail party in Shirlee M arsha ll's house before the Holly Hop. The Holly Hop is the highlight of the semester' s social activities on Wayne's campus and was a very bia night

for all of the Theta sisters. Aside from our busy social calendar, the Theta sisters always find time for worthwhile philanthropies. This semester we adopted a new one. We are working to buy a leader dog for a blind person through the Lions' C lu b. This idea originated when Diana Kajkowski's future fath er-in-law, who had been blind for 15 years, regained his sight after a n operation paid by the Lion ' Club. We feel that this organization is a very worthy one, and we would like to help it help omeone who may never regain his sight. Of course, we kept up with our traditional phi lanthropies of giving little stuffed animals to a chi ldren's hospita l in D etroit for Christmas, h elping with the Goodfellows' paper sa les, and send ing Christmas boxes to Pine Mountain .- DIA E KAJKOWSKI

After our guest speaker, Mrs. F a ller who is a lso our patroness, gave her speech, the trad itional cand lelight ceremony seemed more impressive than usual.

Alpha Sig's float in the Homecoming Parade was a huge yellow loving cup with large green letters, "vrcTORv", stick ing out the top. Open hou se was held jointly with Phi Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma. We were happy so m a ny of our a lumnae came to enjoy the band and buffet supper and join in the fun. Phi is proud to have received more scholastic honors. Approximately 50 per cent of our group was honored at the Honor's Convocation for having maintained a "B" average with no grade below a "C" during the entire period of attendance at SLC.

Whenever possible, let the rushee know that you have recommended her and of your interest in her. Through your friendships in church, school and civic organizations. let others know about Alpha Sigma Tau. 6. Reply promptly when a recommendation is requested.

The large book was opened and Taus representing great ladies from various well -known boo~s came through the hollow pages- presentmg acts, soncr , and dances. Favors given to the rushees were diarys covered identically to the large book. After the skit, the rushee were served, then entertained furth er by the members, singing traditional and new Alpha Sigma Tau songs. Th e Rush Party proved a success, for the Alpha Gammas became big sisters to 12 fine pledges. The principal money-making project of the members has been a rummage sale conducted in November. A car wash has been planned by them later this spring. Pledges made money by selling candy around the campus and at their homes. At the first of the school year, the Alpha Gammas drew names for their "thoughtfu l Taus" and did small favors until revealing time at the end of the semester. At the Christmas party each Thoughtful Tau gave her secret sister a gift of two dollars, which was transferred to the sorority's established fund for initi ation robes. The pledge class gave the members a Christmas party in the home of Miss Mae Whipple, sorority sponsor. The theme of the party was "The Littlest Tau." The Alpha Gammas have taken many honors on the Henderson campus this year: Among those rated in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities were AI-

With everyone's help we soon found the rooms of our house with an a lmost-professiona l new coat of paint. We fin ished just in time for forma l rush and the round robin. It was a proud day when the rushees complimented us on our house. Our first rush party had an Oriental theme. The tab les were decorated with ornaments and trinkets that Penny Ohlman had collected while living in J apan . Judy Barke did an Oriental dance and Penny showed the rushees how to put on a real J apanese costume. Our second party, "Magical Momen ts", was held at the K entwood Arms Hotel. It was an impressive party and most of us had tears in our eyes when K ay Wollpert and two of our alumnae finished giving a talk on sorority life and its meaning. The final tea was held at the house. Sunday night we held ribbon pledging for 11 wonderful new pledges: Liz Burgess, Bonnie Cravens, K aren Russell, Linn Nutter, Catherine Swineford, Kim Bowman, Terry Frink, Karen Gower, Willma Carter, Cha rlotte Michaels and Pat Edmonson . No sooner was Rush over than we found ourselves caught up in the mad onsla ught of homecoming events. This year was to prove to be one of the most unusual homecomings in many years. Five sororities combined their efforts into making one float. Also, we all backed one candidate for homecoming queen. The theme for the float was "A Greek Salu te To Traywick" ( the new college president ) . The float was a ll white with a sma ll replica of the Parthenon. A fountain with running water and girls dressed in Grecian costumes completed the scene. Much to our delight the float won second place. (Confidentia lly, we did most of the work ) . Our traditional fou nders' day luncheon which is held during homecoming each year was held a t the Shady Inn this year. Following homecoming we initia ted four girls who p ledged last spring.

Those who served as Freshmen counselors were Marvella Lyford, ancy VanArsdall , Linda Peterson, Sue Kaeding, Pat R eam and Sandy Huffman. The first big project for the Alpha Epsilon chapter was Homecoming, and we were out in full force to make a good showing. Two of our sisters, Mary Fran Cushing and Sue Kaeding were princesses on the Homecoming Court. Mary Fran represented the sorority and Sue represented Seal H all, the men's residence hall on campus. The theme of Homecoming was "Happy Holidays" and it was a happy holiday for us. Our House decorations placed first in the sorority division and we were first runners-up for grand sweepstakes. Our theme was Chinese New Year and our slogan was "Not A Chinaman's Chance for SIU," SIU beinrr Southern Illinois Univer ity, our arch rival in ath letic competition.

During the afternoon we had an open house for alumnae and parents of the m embers. For our cul tura l program we divided into committees to investigate different community projects and organizations, in ord er fo r our members to have a better understand ing of the com m unity we live in. In order to contribute som ething to ou r schoo l, we wrote a letter to the school newspaper telling of the importance of foc using our a ttention on im portant instead of trivia l matters. Our dime d ance a nd Parents' Banquet, which was in celebration of Founders' D ay, came within two d ays of each other. Peggy Emmert told a little of the history of the sorority and Carol H olmgren gave a reading. To conclude th e banquet Ginny Hickey led us in singing. Our members came as farm anima ls to the "O ld M cD ona ld Farm," the pledge party. The pledges were the M cD ona ld family. T he nex t night, D ecember 6, was forma l initiation fo r the pledges. Because Christmas was approaching, we and our fraternity brothers put on the " Holly House," an open house at the fraternity house. We went with our brothers to the Ba ptist Children's Home to sing Christmas carols and bring them presents. The children seemed to enjoy it, and we had a wonderful time, a lso.

Alpha Iota Wins Colgate Cup Alpha Iota wins first prize in Colgate contest.
t THIS semester Alpha Sig has been busily involved in quite a number of social activities. It all began with a very successful " Pajama Party." The profusion of blankets and pillows was something to behold. The entertainment was given in the form of skits which honored the seniors. After refreshments and a good -old-fashioned sing we all pi led into bed. Next on the agenda was a carnival sponsored by our campus charity organization. We a long with the other fraternities and sororities sponsored a booth. It was very successful and made much money for this worthy organization. Our annual square dance was held this semester a lso. Everyone got in the full swing as the caller led the group through the various square formations. Soon after this came Founders' D ay. This year we celebrated th is day by combining it with a parents' weekend. On Friday night we sponsored services and served tea a nd coffee afterwards at a reception at our house. At this time we held a discussion led by two profe sor on the subject of the sermon for that night. Saturday was deemed open house and through b lock seating many parents accompanied their daughters to the football game being held that afternoon. On Sunday a lun h on was held for our parent and a c rcmony in honor of Founders' Day wa

held. The weekend proved most enjoyable. Our biggest fall weekend is that of Colgate weekend. E ach sorority and fraternity competes in a poster contest and because this year is the last year we will have this weekend the house that wins the conte t retires the cup. The Alpha Iota's are proud to announce that they have won the contest and the first place prize is ours. Upper class rush brought us some lovely new pledges. They are: Roz Schlos, Carol Fischer, H ermine L evy, and Debby Cutler. Also Ellen Cherman, L eslie Greenfield, and R obbie Elias were welcomed as new sisters after a beautiful ceremony. One thing that will stand out in our minds this semester i the wonderful vi it paid to this chapter by Mrs. Peterson and Miss McDonald. Their few days with us passed so very quickly but left us with an enthusiasm that will certain ly spur us on for the yea路rs to come. As the climax of the erne ter, the Alpha Iotas alway have a formal dinner and dance. This seme ter wa no different and our dinner-dance was mo t succe ful and quite beautiful.

Our Homecoming float, buil t under the direction of Judy Vago, carried the sloo-an " We' re Expecting T' win" and consisted of a stork on a rooftop, holding twins in a Marietta-blue blanket. Our house decorations added to our trophy collection: our theme was "Dial MC -4 Victory" and was ca rried out by a blu e telephone, complete with moving dial, and a whi_te telephone book on which the theme title appeared in blue and red .

Too, we gained a new member, Mary Ruth McClung, who is our secretary and does a beautiful job for us.-MARCELLA D EE WHITLOCK.
Buffalo Braves the Elements ;\". OuR annual September picnic was a very relaxing affair. Dorothea Porter prepared the entire dinner herself, as a money-raising project. Bidding on the surprise packages mailed in by our out-of-town members was fun . We were glad to see Jeanette Adams, Oravell McLean, Marilyn O'Lear, and our new brides Janet LaSpisa Bartlett and Torma Willingdon Martin. Pat McKenna had the September board meeting at her lovely new home in Hamburg. Sally Wales told of hurricane warnings on the radio, but we stayed ' till all A~T plans were made. At Eunice Pundt's in October, Miss Mullarkey of the Bell Telephone Co., displayed replicas of the famous diamonds of the world, including the Hope Diamond, the Kohinoor Diamond, and the Crown Jewels of Great Britain. Beverly Bollard, Ruth Ochs, Millie Kirby, Pattie Lamb, and Pat Wallacehauser were welcome additions to our group. Our second annual Founders Day Dinner Dance at the Buffalo Athletic Club as guests of Lucile McGlynn, was a lovely affair, planned by Pat McKenna. Joe and Lucile Steen made the evening memorable by showing pictures of their European trip. We were glad to see Fran Plachta, Jean Perner Nicholson, and Carolyn Doelman. At Florence Sodus' home in November a guest speaker gave the girls inexpensive ideas for party decorations and party favors. Two girls from the former local Sigma chapter were guests. The Christmas Punch Party at Mary Bolton's was lovely. Her new home was decorated beautifully. The hors d'oeuvres, THE ANCHOR
which the girls made at Kay Baxter's the previous day, were the most lavi sh we have ever had. Stereo music wafted softly through the rooms throughout the party. Florence Bronisz Bates arranged for our delicious roast beef Christmas luncheon at Mac-Doel's. Mr. Kenneth Moore, the head of the Interior D ecorating Department at H engerer's kept our interest while giving us ideas for decorating our homes. We were very glad to see Mary Bowker and Marjorie Milius. Margaret Macdonald, Evelyn Grampp, and Beverly Bollard represented us at the Sigma Sigma Sigma 50th anniversary tea. J ean McNamara, our President, presided at the meeting at my house in Janu ary. H elene Kreutz Blackledge, our Vice-President and program chairman, invited a cosmetician from the Cort Company to demonstrate how we may look our best.

Denver Sends Magazines To Asia ;\". O u R first meeting in September wa attended by 18 members. We discussed Needlework Guild, and our Founders' Day Luncheon. The luncheon was a succe s with 23 attending. We presented a silver bonbon dish to Eleanor McKeeman, who is moving to Puerto Rico. As individuals we are sending magazine monthly to Asiatic countries. This is to help counteract the communist propaga nd a in those countries by sending American magazines by C mail. Those interested in doing the same should send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to-Magazines, Box 3196, Los Angeles 28, Calif. They will let you know what magazines are best to send. Our other project is that of serving refre h-
67
ments, once a month, to the Teenage Retarded Children's Program. It is new in our community and is under the guidance of Denver Chaplaincy. One member who went to serve, Shirley Bales, also worked a little with the children. Those in charge said she was wonderful and they want her to return each time if possible. Several of our members desired to get together a little more often so they organized a bridge club. My, but we have such nice times.-MRs . LLOYD HoLME .
Detroit's Hospital Service ~
THE setting for our September meeting was the Wayne State University Alumni House. A short business meeting was held which was then followed by a talk by Dr. Margaret Sterne on the timely subject of Berlin. We also had a display table of various items that the girls purchased on their summer trips. Refreshments were then served. A successful meeting was held in October at the home of Mi ldred Cislo. We worked very hard at making pom-poms for the actives' homecoming float. Many boxes were filled by the ambitious girls that attended. Our Founders' Day luncheon was held at The Roostertail, a well-known mstaurant in Detroit. The program was entitled "100 Years of Fashion" and was presented by the Detroit Historical Museum. Gloria Dickerson Heino, Katherine Maxwell Smith and Jane Gohlke Soltesz were the hostesses. The cand lelighting service concluded the program. Our regular November meeting was held at the home of Jane Soltesz. The December Christmas party was held at the home of Ladene Schachinger. W e decorated place mats for the hospital and each girl brought a gift to be given to the women in a TB Ward. We then exchanged gifts among ourse lves. Cookies were donated for the actives' bake sale. Dorothy Dobos was our January hostess. We spent part of the evening making Valentine favors filled with candy for the children in the hospital. We then saw an interesting
68
movie on Interior Decorating. It made everyone anxious to start redecorating her home. The annual Dinner Dance was held at The Capistrano Restaurant this year. Ingrid agy and Jane Bradley were our very able chairmen. They worked very hard to make it a successful evening and one to remember. The actives were invited to attend.KATHERINE SMITH (MRs. GERALD )
Flint Anticipates Twenty-fifth ~
1962 FINDS the Flint Alums collectively anticipating exciting events. Locally, our chapter will celebrate our twenty-fifth anniversary in April, and, of course, many of us are anxiously awaiting the St. Louis Convention. And as individuals we've been just as busy. For examp le, Lucille MacWhinney collaborated with Dr. Marvin Sitts of Mott Foundation on an article, "Remedial Writing Remedies" which appeared in the November Adult L eadership magazine. She later received a letter requesting further information from an instructor connected with the medica l center of Yale U . Louise Le Roy keeps herself busy with volunteer work at McLaren hospital and also her bridge and golf. Shirley Gauthier spends her spare time as den mother. Pauline Dempsey is teaching again after a second cancer operation. She is teaching in a new building this year, and while there found a new sister, Marilyn Mooney Bazley, a D elta, who just moved to Flint from Grand Rapids. This has been Eloise Howes' ocial service year. ot only has she been an active president of Flint Alums, but has been on various committees on Needlework Guild of America, Lady Wolverton division, McLaren Hospital Auxiliary and at.

Little Rock's Service Award ;\. GREATER Little Rock Alumnae Chapter has been quite active again this year, and we f~el that we are continuing to grow progr~~SlVely ~etter each year. For a moneyralsmg proJect this year, we sold candy and made a net profit of $70.00. Since our dues are $5.00 and Social Service du es are $3.00. with this money we know that we can carry out many of our previously made plans. At our January meeting, we donated $15.00 to Upsilon Chapter, Conway, Arkansas, for improvement and decoratinrr of the . 0 soronty room. Many of us are personally donating an additional amount to the $15.00. At Th~nksgiving, we bought a ham and other grocenes for a needy but worthy family. We have also contributed as a sorority to the March of Dimes. Again this spring, a Service Award will be presented to members of the collegiate chapters for the most outstanding and active service, and it is our hope that we will be able to present these awards each year in the future . Greater Little Rock Chapter is also active in panhellenic. A book review is to be presented in March, and again, as last year, we will be active participants. Our sorority has charge of the advertising for this occasion.RuTH WHITLEY.
Greeley Bakes /or Actives ;\. SINCE there seems to be only a couple of Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae living in or around Greeley this year, we have held no formal meetings as yet. Mrs. Fred Trimmer is the president for this year. Our vice president, Mrs. Sal Troisi, moved to Denver ; so she resigned her position. Our secretary-treasurer is Miss Marianne Lamberty. Mrs. Delbert Batt is our editor. The active chapter in Greeley asked for our help during their winter rush . Some of the alums baked cookies and helped at one of their rush parties. We were very happy to hear that they got seven very nice pledges from this rush. THE ANCHOR
There have been a great many alums married within the past few months. Also several members of our alum group have had new babies recently.-MRs. DELBERT BATT.
Lansing-East Lansing Helps Jr. Red Cross ;\. O u R first fall meeting was held in October at the home of our president, Margaret Craddock. At this time we planned the chapter activities for the year, then shared in "vacation reminiscing." In ovember, Allura Custer was the hostess for our Founders' Day meeting at her suburban home near Grand Ledge. The lovely candle light ritual was observed. In spite of sub-zero weather, SN-owbanks and ice, a goodly number were present for the January meeting at the home of Willow Wood Cameron. Our very faithful members, Isabel Welch and Mary Walton, journeyed the long distance from Nashville to be with us. This year we are concentrating on sending materials to a kindergarten sponsored by the University of the Philippines. Materials such as pencils, crayons, colored chalk, construction paper, newsprint, etc., are greatly needed by this kindergarten. Another project on which we are embarked is the filling of gift boxes for the Junior R ed Cross. The "Big Project" of our year will be the annual Rummage Sale in ApriLFLORENCE BAKER.
Kansas City's Annual Party ;\. THE Kansas City Alumnae started off the fall season with a general business meeting followed by a congenial evening of cards. At this time it was interesting to learn of the varied vacations each had en joyed. Our October meeting was given over to a money-making project within the group. A jewelry toss was the unique way of achieving a great amount of fun plus adding a few extra dollars for our treasury.

Founders' Day Dinner was enjoyed by fifteen members at the John Francis R estaura nt. Mrs. Frank Louk, president, conducted our cand le lighting ceremony which was most impressive as each renewed her Alpha Sigma Tau vows . At this writing we are looking forward to our Valentine Sweetheart party when we entertain our best sweethearts with a dinner. This pa rty has becom e a n annual affair because of its great popularity. K a nsas City A lums send greetings to all our sister chapters with best wishes for a wonderful year.- LouiSE R oBERTSON.
Macomb-Carthage Helps Collegiates t WE have been bu sy this year ! MacombCarthage Alumnae C hapter held its Homecoming Luncheon in October. W e were happy to welcome collegiates, alums, parents, a nd friends. It was announced at tha t time that the Homecoming Luncheon will be an annual affair, so we will look forwa rd to seeing you next homecoming. November found us helping with preparations for pledging. We were glad to have a small part in redecorating the collegia te living room . We sewed slipcovers to go with th e new curtains, painted walls, and carpeting. E veryone worked hard, and the results were very rewarding. We drove for rush pa rties when needed, and stood by for refreshment duties. Christmas time, despite the flu bug, our C hristmas party for actives was h eld. We were h a ppy to meet our new Alpha Epsilon pledges. Games were played and a variety of desserts were served.

We celebrated Founders' Day with a banquet at the Mark Raleigh Hotel. It was quite a reunion for all twenty-one of us, especially seeing our Petersburg sisters. It was plain to see at our October meeting tha t the secrets of beauty are not confined to our bedrooms or expensive sa lons. We enjoyed seeing the secrets become public knowledge in the living-room of Virginia D aniels. The demonstration was by Beauty Counselor. We are enjoying our panhellenic activities: hosting at Thalimers T ea Cart, Tasting Supper at Ridge Community Center, and the annual card party and fashion show. Don' t forget we are still wa iting to hear from more of you or see more of you the second Tuesday of every month .

Two almost effortless ways of fund ra1smg were tried successfully. Elizabeth Wilson ordered some Gwen Frostic stationery which was well received and almost all sold at one meeting. The selling of fruit cakes was our other venture. Both items were well timed it seemed, just in time for the holiday season. The annual Christmas tea was held at the home of Elizabeth Wilson on December 27 with Virginia Beare chairman of the event. The actives were our guests on this occasion. Usually donations are accepted for Pine Mountain at the tea but since all the plates were filled with the kind of goodies that go to the waistline eventually, an empty one for matters of the heart was not available in a prominent place. However, our forgetfulness was rectified at the next meeting when we voted to send a check to Pine Mountain. We are celebrating Washington's birthday with a brunch at the Pancake House as we did last year. So you must know how enjoyable an affair it was as it is a repeat performance. Since our meeting was schedu led for the fo llowing night, we decided to have it following the brunch as accommodations are available. Plans are underway for a Hat Party in March. This is a "first" for us and Margaret Gieselmann will serve as chairman. We hope to provide everyone with an Easter bonnet, at their own expense of course! Our progressive supper will be April 27. "Northsiders" will be glad to know that the three hostesses are from the north side of town this year. The old saying, "the South shall rise again" will be true because our southerns will advance toward the north with pangs of hunger to be greeted by THE ANCH OR
northern hospitality in this case. The same performance will be repeated next year, only in reverse roles. Our annual meeting will be in May. A pot-luck supper will be at the home of Lillian Schippers. We'll take the pot back home and hope the luck stays. A luncheon is on the agenda for June. Eva May Koenig will be hostess for the OCCasiOn. A word to the Wichita a lums, Dot Schul has attended several of our m eetings. We hope she will join our group. She said she has extended invitations to you for convention time, so take her up on it! Speaking of convention time, we hope to see all of you in St. Louis this August. Our welcome will be a warm one with or without assistance from the weather bureau.- MARY Lou ScoTT.
Wichita Helps Retarded School ;\; THE Wichita Alums have been struggling a little extra hard this year due to the fact we have lost quite a few girls. But we feel like we've done real well so far. We had a program on hair sty ling in the fall and we are anticipating one on make-up very soon now. We held our Founders' Day dinner at the Municipal Airport dining room. A nice group turned out for that evening and we were able to arouse enthusiasm for our Christmas party. The Christmas Party was held at Rosemary Coad's house. We spent the first part of the evening filling up on ham and all the trimmings. My, it was de licious! The rest of the evening was spent playing games that brought forth some good laughs. We're still hearing comments about the Christmas party so I'm certain a good time was had by all. And it was nice to meet all the girls' husbands. We hope we helped cheer some little children at Christmas time. We sent quite a number of gifts to the children of the Retarded School. I'm certain we all enjoyed doing it for them.-BLANCHE PEARCE

Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Holds Bazaar ;\:.. THE din of 15 women catching up on the news made president Donna Stevens job of calling the September meeting to order very difficu lt. Donna had mimeographed agendas for each member that aided in dispensing the business portion of the meeting quickly and left more time to enjoy Dottie Niemann's dessert and more chatter. The Alpha Chapter and our alumnae group join together annually for a rummage sa le in September. Working together helps us all to become better acquainted and the fun and profits offset the many tedious hours spent in sorting and marking the rummage. In October we were pleased to welcome a new member, Donna Dental from Portage Lake. Donna is a Beta new to this area and happened to see the' meeting announce~ ment in the newspaper. The hostess for the evening, Joyce Nisbet, and Donna had been classmates. A discussion of the Constitutional Convention, of prime importance to us Michiganders, followed the business m eeting. Incidentally Joyce's father-in-law, Mr. Stephen S. Nisbet, is president of Con-Con. The November meeting at the home of Jean. Carpenter, was another money-makino路 b proJect. We held a Christmas bazaar of items
made by the members. Each item wa bid on secretly and went to the highest bidder. The evening turned out to be very profitable. Mitzie Maxey's lovely Ann Arbor home was beautifully decorated for the combined Christmas and Initiation dinner for the alums and Alpha Chapter. The new members had been initiated earlier at the home of Joyce Nisbet and were then honored by their older sisters at Mitzie's home. In January the graduating senior were initiated into the alumnae group at the home of Wilma (Mrs. Robert ) Court. We all sincerely hope that these young women will continue their affiliation and take part in the stimula ting program of an alumnae organization.- JEAN CARPENTER.
