DR. ROBERT S. CARTER President

Educating Since 1889 ...

The founding of Slippery Rock State College started in 1887 - with an idea. It was discovered that the eleventh district of the teacher training school system of the Commonwealth was entitled to a normal school. The leaders of the movement, in order that the young people would have access to education near their MISS EllEN H. PERRIN homes, began, in 1888, to erect the beginnings of the Dean of Women campus. On February 1, 1889, the State Department of Public Instruction approved the buildings and the new college. In March of 1889, the Slippery Rock State Normal School opened its first term with an enrollment of 168 students. The first class of 11 members was graduated in 1890. Specialized curriculums are offered in professional education: elementary education, secondary education, physical education, physical therapy and special education. A liberal arts program is also available. Social life is an important part of Slippery Rock's campus. Six social fraternities (all national) and eight social sororities (also all national) reside on campus. Homecoming and Greek Week in the fall, plus May Day and Greek Week in the spring highlight the year- along with other individual special events. Also in the spring, much use is made of nearby Rock Falls and the surrounding park. Dr. Robert Carter, President of Slippery Rock State College, has just assumed his position last year. He has plans to rapidly expand the campus, and has already begun this by increasing the enrollment and building new dormitories. There are also plans for a new science building in the making.

in Russia My five weeks in Russia in the summer of 1965 really began in the spring of 1961. At that time Mr. Leon Twarog, the new chairman of the Slavic Language D epartment at Ohio State, announ ced that a short course in Russian would be offered to teachers every \V edn esday after school for five weeks. Since I am interested in lan guages b ecause of my teaching of Latin and study of French, another Latin teacher, Shirley Tull and I decided to join the seventy teachers who had signed up for th e course. Dr. Twarog explained that b ecause he was eager to have Russian taught in th e Columbus schools, he had planned a series of classes for teacher-training. The plan was to take the Intensive Russian courses for two summ ers and th en spend the third summ er in the Soviet Union. Of all those who had signed up for the preliminary course in th e spring, Shirley and I wer th e only ones who enrolled in the intensive program, and I was th e only one of that group who finally went to Russia! The tour was not offered in th e summer of 1963, but I had enough credits to get a teaching certificate and began teaching my first Russian class that fall. I th en realized that I needed to study more if I ever hoped to speak flu ently. I enrolled in the class of 27 for the study tour in the summer of 1965. We had three weeks of very intensive reading and conversations at Ohio State before we departed on July 14. W e flew from New York to Copenhagen and after a few hours boarded the plane for Moscow. We were then advised by ANCHOR

our two instructors that for th e next five weeks we were to speak only Russian. W e really felt strange when we landed in Moscow where everyone was sp eaking Russian. Most of us realized th en that our class room conversation wasn't too adequate. That first night in Moscow was the only time that I wondered why I had come. The fatigu e from our long journey, the strangeness of our surr-oundings, and the h eavy Russian words were rather overwhelming. After that first bewildering night our tour was educational and delightful. Our trip had been planned and supervised b y Intourist, a foreign travel bureau. In Moscow a young college graduate was assigned to us as a p erman ent guide. H er name was Leda, who could sp eak English as well as Russian. Although she stayed with us throughout the h路ip, a new guide join ed us in each city we visited. They made all the arrangements for our transportation, hotels, and entertainment. Our days were busy, b eginning each mornin g with an hour long class in which we discussed articles from Russian newsp apers. There was usually a scheduled tour each forenoo n and afternoon , and after a trip to th e theater at night. There was also free tin1 e during which we could explore th e cities without guides. After a week in Moscow we went to Leningrad, Yalta, Odessa, Kiev, and th en back to Moscow. Everywhere we went, we found th a t the people were friendly, courteous and cooperative. W e had with us souvenirs, ball point pens, Ohio State pencils, records, and booklets to give p eople whom we met. Each tim e we gave a gift, howe er we received one in return. The Russians are very fond of 'Nearing small pins depicting some aspect of their life in the Soviet Union. \Ve received man y of th ese pins from acquaintan ces. These pins showed that the p eople there have th e same interest we have of wanting to belong to something. We have our clubs and fraternities, but since such organizations are prohibited there, tl1 e Russians wear pins to show their member hip in their country.

is no competition there since the government owns all the stores industries and farms. I am sure there' are man; gas stations there because there are many cars, buses, and tnteks, but I saw only one such station. There are no bill boards or signs advertising cars, cigarettes, gum, etc., such as we have. There were some bill boards, but they displayed exhortations for patriotism and love of country. Pictures and monuments of Lenin are prominently displayed everywhere. The newspapers are so different because they contain no advertisements and very few pictures. There is no Sunday paper which devotes an extra section to marriages and other social events. Russian women and girls never wear slacks and shorts on the street, and their skirts are a modest length. At the bathing beaches, however, they all wear bikinis because they want the full benefit of the sun. Everyone in the Soviet Union has a vacation and must rest dming that time, and so th e res01ts along the Black Sea are crowded. Students also must rest during the summer and not go to school or work. There are many youth camps for the students and other young people on vacation. One such camp, "Sputnik", near Yalta is really deluxe with new beautiful modernistic buildings. When we visited it we were met enthusiastically by young people who presen ted us with bouquets of flowers and th eir camp pin. Another interes ting camp was near Odessa, on another part of the Black Sea. The students themselves built the whole camp, and call it "The Seagull". Their emblems and pins are blue with a white sea gull flying. One young man there was a doctor from a city in Siberia. He was interested in learning English and recited beautifully, "0, Captain, My Captain," by Walt Whitman. Recent magazines such as National Geographic and Newsweek have published interesting pictorial articles about the Soviet Union.

the people in the Soviet Union . They do a tremendous amount of reading. We were interested in the bookstores and especially in the book stalls on the streets. Books are poorly bound and are printed on poor paper but they are abundant and cheap. An average of three million books and pamphlets are printed daily. The people love theatrical productions which begin at 6:30 p.m. so that people can go directly to them from work. Of the many performances which we attended, the most unforgotten one was the ballet "Swan Lake". We hear a lot about th e fact that women do much hard work. It started as a necessity because after the last war there were five women to every man. During the war Leningrad was under siege for 900 days, and the women who helped save the city from the enemy were determined to rebuild it. They have done a good job because now the city shows nearly no signs (Continu.ed on page 71)

Begins an H onor

Roll by MARY CHARLES ADM,IS Chi, National Examination Chairman

Each year many differen t feelings are exhibited when Collegiate Examinations are to be administered. Your tests for this past year are written, graded and filedthey are past history- hopefully a record of which you are proud. Take a moment to see the importance of annual collegiate examinations .. . When you joined our Sisterhood you were born into a family of "All Sisters Together". Our sorority is a close knit group of sisters who grow strong by sharing with and loving one another. You 路were

chosen as a member of this family because of your outstanding qualities. Alpha Sigma Tau now seeks to guide and to help develop the best which is within you. History is important to the lives of all of us. The strength of Alpha Sigma Tau began many years ago when only a few young women established the ideals we strive to uphold today and each year has built upon this foundation to insure the "permanence of these ideals". The pledge program begins the knowledge of what Alpha Sigma Tau stands for and the yearly examination prqvides review of our ideals and procedures. Study of Alpha Sigma Tau history, government, and ritual giv s the knowledge which provides th str ngth to help us grow. Alpha Sigma Tau strives to build u as individuals so that we may "contribute our share to the progress of mankind." vVe must first understand our ideals and through conscious effort of studying and working together to realize common goals, strengthen our isterhood. This year Alpha Sigma Tau has begun an honor roll of chapters. An honor roll chapter is one which had an average of 90% or above and tests were submitted on time for grading. One of our national goals is to have the name of ALL chapters appear on this honor roll each year. HONOR ROLL 1965-1966 "Chi "Alpha Lambda Delta Omicron o

Harriet Marx Pfeiffer, Alpha Sigma Tau's only Living Founder. Harriet Marx Pfeiffer was one of the first eight girls who found ed Alpha Sigma Tau. She lives with her daughter, Betty, who teaches at U.C.L.A. in Berkeley. Their home is on the Bay at 239 Columbia Avenue, Berkeley 8, California. Harriet helped to found Alpha Sigma Tau when the world was relatively happy and secure, before World War I. There were still horse drawn vehicles on the streets, and the telephones that hung on the wall had to be cranked briskly. Our sorority had its beginning in the resolve of eight young women to bind themselves together in friendship. ANCHOR

Lillian Vogt Schippers R etires as E xpansion Director of A.S. T.

Lillian Schippers has been the Expansion Director since 1956, and due to her heavy schedule as supervisor of reading for the Affton School District has asked for a replacement in this most important office. Lillian had generously been National Editor of The Anchor for seven years, then Southwestern District President. Under her successful direction, eleven chapters have been added to Alpha Sigma Tau since 1958: Alpha Zeta, Alpha Eta, Alpha Theta, Alpha Iota, Alpha Kappa, Alpha Mu, Alpha Nu, Alpha Omega, Alpha Xi, Alpha Omicron, and Alpha Pi; the last three being our newest additions at Mansfield Clarion and Slippery Rock, Pmmsylvania. Lillian obtained her A. B. from Harris Teachers College, St. Louis, and taught a few years at the Long, Irving and Ames Elementary schools. She obtained an 1. A. degree from Washington University in 1955 in English and Education, and since has taken work in psychometrics and adminisb路ation. Lillian

holds a life certificate in elementary administration. She became Reading Supervisor for the Affton School District in 1959 where she has coordinated the reading program in the elementary and junior high schools, and was instrumental in setting up a summer program at the senior high school in reading improvement and speed reading. In 1964 Lillian also assumed the supervision of the language arts in the elementary schools, which includes reading, oral and written language, spelling and handwriting. In this connection she has been working on curriculum construction, and is presently engaged in a research project under the auspices of St. Louis University in developing criteria for written expression which will eventually result in a scale similar to a handwriting scale. H er duties also include group and individual t esting. H er name has been included in Who' Who of American Women, Who's v ho in the Midwest and the Dictionar of International Biography. HOR

Blanche Daniels Retires from Radford College Miss Blanche Daniels, a native of Virginia, has served Radford College for the past forty years. During this time Miss Daniels has served as counselor, ~ollege coordinator between the Dean's Office and the dining hall and the Post Office, handled transfer students, kept track of the alumnae and acted as freshman class adviser. This June Miss Daniels retired from the staff of Radford College. This short gray-haired lady leaves a legacy that will never be forgotten . . . one of devotion, pride and love for the teaching profession, and a deep concern for all people. With her leaving, the students of the college are losing not only a professor but also a friend. While working on the staff of the Dean's office, Miss Daniels served as faculty adviser and sponsor of Alpha Sigma Tau. Miss Daniels worked as adviser of Tau before it became a national sorority. According to Miss Daniels, the basic purposes and activities of Lambda Phi were very similar to those of Alpha Sigma Tau. During her many years of service Miss Daniels stated that one of the greatest improvements was the creation of the Panhellenic Council. This organization, according to Miss Daniels, has done much to improve the relationships among the sororities on campus. Improvements that she urged everyone to work for were more social service projects and a united efFort to fur-

ther the congenial spirit among the fo ur sororities on our campus. When questioned about the value of a sorority in a girl's life Miss Daniels stated that "it gives her the chance to form close friendships and the opportunity for the girls to create and carry forward worthwhile programs." In 1962, Miss Daniels stepped down as sponsor of Tau. Our present sponsor, Miss Evelyn Fitzpatrick to us "Miss Pat" was chosen by the girls and recommended by Miss Daniels. One reason that Miss Daniels felt that Miss Pat was the right adviser for Tau was that "she had a philosophy similar to that of Alpha Sigma Tau and believed in the same purpose of being active, self-reliant and trustworthy". Concerning her retirement Miss Daniels said that "I want to travel and do some outside work such as gardening around my house and become more active in the organizations to which I belong". One statement that exhibits that wonderful energetic spirit of Miss Daniels was ''I'm appreciative of the past and thrilled with the progress of the present and forecast of the future". Although she is leaving the college, we hope that Miss Daniels will remain a close friend and adviser of Alpha Sigma Tau. By Diane T. Schroeder Alpha Lambda

The Story of Ethel Himelick, Alpha Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau's National Secretary Well, to begin ... It was almost Christmas. The day was cold and frosty, but the base burner in the "sitting room" of the white clapboard farmhous e was working valiantly to spread warmth and cheer. The heavy iron range in the long lean-to kitchen warmed the south end of the room . There was excitement in the air as the eldest son was to be married on Christmas Eve, now just two days away. But another event was also eminent, and the number two son had gone to fetch the doctor and to tell a neighbor lady that her services were required. As dusk descended, the twelfth (and last ) child of the farm er and his wife was ushered in the front bedroom, which was warmed only by remote control from the base burner. So began my life as I hurried to take my place in the family Bible record, winning by two days over the first daughter-in-law. (Ten months later I became an aunt to a bouncing boy.) It was almost Christmas, ten years later. A little girl was disturbed because her birthday seemed to get lost in the flurry of Christmas in a big family . . when what to her wondering eyes should appear Âˇ.. no, not eight tiny reindeer but the family milk truck with its big bed overflowin g with 35 fifth- grade school mates, all crying "surprise and happy birthday." A moth er who had never seen a psychology book but wise in mother love had lifted a child's spirits to a mountain peak. It was almost Christmas, ten years later. As a college girl now during the depression years, a part-time job on the college switchboard became very important, where the rate of pay was 25Â˘ an hour (or 15Â˘ an hour for evening work because you could study some too ). During this period work and study habits were learned vvhich would bolster me through many years. Then came national shock over a bank holiday being declared, followed b y personal shock on my part as the $15 laboriously saved for tuition for the next quarter evaporated. But

a college business manager and a dean of wom en found a way to help without hurting my pride. (Also about this tim e th e nephew who had been my boon companion as a child called to tell me I was a greataunt. ) It was almost Christmas, ten years later, and the war years were with us, with th e constant fears and worries, the crawly creepy rayon hose, those stepped-on tin cans, gas and meat coupons, oceans of letters sped across th e oceans, a tim e of adjusting, reaching for emotional maturity, and experiencing depth in friendships. It was almost Christmas, and first on e decade and then another whipped by in rapid order following World War II. What have they brought? There have been more adjustments as goals hoped for and reached for are seldom attained in their entirety. The position in a forward-moving educational institution becomes more challenging, absorbing, and tim e-demanding. Also material comforts are achieved but with less time to enjoy them; vacations become very necessary as a change of pace ( the most recent b eing east to the Scandinavian countries and wes t to the H awaiian Islands); hobbies like bicycling, horseback riding, and tennis are being replaced b y reading, classical records, and bridge; friends become more important as "you give a little and take a little" of each other's joys and sorrows. ( Oh, yes, the oldes t nephew, ten months my junior, announces he is now a proud grandfather which makes his aunt achieve a new status as a great, great-aunt.) And what of the decades ahead? But today well lived, Makes every yesterd ay a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope Look well, therefore, to this day!

Mrs. Wanda Bates: .Alpha's Helping Hand Those of us who know lvlrs. Bates and have had the pleasure of her fellowship and guidance in Alpha Sigma Tau, will ' indeed miss her undaunting leadership. After forty-two years of devoted service to the library and its students at Mrs. Wanda Bates is Eastern Michigan Uniretiring as ad vise r Ia versity, Mrs. Bates has Alpha Chapter alter twenty-five years of announced that she will guidance. retire in Augus t. For twenty-five years Mrs. Bates has been adviser to Alpha Chapter. Mrs. Emma Murphy has graciously accep ted the position and has, for the las t year, been performing the many and varied duties the role of adviser entails. We are all very fortunate to have Mrs. Murphy with us and we are sme, under her guidance, Alpha Chapter will continue to be the fine sis terhood it has always been. Mrs. Bates has been a loyal friend to a great many people. She has seen many Alpha girls begin and finish their education at E.M.U. and continue their life's activities, yet she never seems to forget her friends. She has quite a capacity for keeping track of people and has a deep sense of responsibility toward her fellow man and never hesitates to help others, even though it sometim es means a sacrifice of her own convenience. Niany, many a Monday evening she has spent at McKenny Hall at the Alpha Chapter's weekly meetings, not to mention her attendance all these years at Founders' D ay, Mother's D ay Luncheons, conventions, dinner dances, etc. With her quiet, even temperament, Mrs. Bates attracts friends wherever she goes. She does things easily, without a lot of fuss and bustle. I can remember once how frantic we Alphas were the evening before the Homecoming parade. w路 e had b en decoratin g our floats in Mrs. Bates' garage and time was growing short and we still had many more Kleenex flower to stuff in the chick n wir . We w re all xcited and fearful that we wouldn't get done on time by th n xt morning's competition and were

ha tily running around helter, skelter, when Mrs. Bates qui tly appeared with some hot chocolate. It was like someone had "gassed us up", so to speak, for after that we finished that float in record time. Were we proud the next day to accept our ribbon! ~ither her appearance or the hot chocolate inspired us. I'm inclined to think it was the former because I've seen meetings become organized quickly when irs. Bates was present. As a student at E.M.U. (Michigan State ormal School), 1lrs. Bates was very active in Alpha Sigma Tau and held the Office of secretary-treasurer. She recalls some of her sisters active with her in Alpha Chapter were La Vinna Gibson Paulson and Ella Buster, deceased, from Muskegon and Frances Higgins and Allura Exelby Cu ter from Lansing. Mrs. E. A. Lyman, deceased, one of our founder , was a close friend of Mrs. Bates as was Carrie Staehle, N.P.C. D elega te, whom she sometimes s es at conventions. Mrs. Bates received her A.B. D egree from E.M.U. in 1924 and her LA. from the University of Michigan in 1931. As a student she assisted in the library and in 1924 she began work as the librarian of Roosevelt, the laboratory school and then moved to the reference library as assistant in 1925. In 1939 she became a teacher on the college faculty in addition to her work with the Training School Department Library. Since 1950 she has been order librarian for the college. She has also taught classes in library service and served as librarian. With a budget of $100,000 one can readily see how detailed and involved her work has been. Even though she has been so involved with library services at the college and with sorority as well as her family, she even found time to catalog the library for the First Congregational Church and work with the lower grades there. So you see 'bu y ' is hardly the word to describe her life, yet she still finds time for her bobbie of ewing and cooking, and entertaining her many gues ts.

KEY TO THE FUTURE The Sixteenth National Convention of Alpha Sigma Tau turned its course toward the future as it was formally called into session by the National President, Miss Elizabeth Wilson, on Tuesday, August 22, 1966 at the Terrace Hilton Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio. After the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and the repeating of the Pledge of Allegiance, everyone sang the Fraternity ANCHOR

Hymn. The National Chaplain, Mrs. Joseph Steen, led a very impressive responsive litany based on our ideals. "Such ideals form the key that unlocks a great fuhrre for our beloved sorority" Miss Ethel Rimelick, National Secretary, called the roll of official delegates. The traditional ceremony of the hanging of the Chapter shields gave the collegiate delega tes an opportunity to place on view the symbol of their presence. Greetings from other fraternal groups, as well as from our own Alpha Sigma Tau sisters were read by Miss Ethel Himelick. Miss Wilson's keynote address centered on the theme of "Our Key to the Future". 27

KEY TO FRIENDSHIP On Tuesday afternoon everyone piled into busses to take a quick sight-seeing tour of Cincinnati, stopping at the railroad termin al and Art Museum. On Wednesday morning District Breakfasts were held to provide an opportunity for delegates and visitors in each district to become acquainted and talk over mutual problems.

So you see the KEY to the FUTURE of Fraternity is YOU and your determin ation to live by the ideals and principles of Alpha Sigma Tau. To the COLLEGIATES, may I say that each chapter must provide the kind of sorority that rushees will want to pledge. Girls do not willingly choose to belong to a mediocre chapter. You must have the courage to promote quality in your chapter. To the ALUMS, particularly those serving as officers and advisers, may you continue to give dynamic leadership. We have a heritage which is priceless and great. The only way we can make this heritage real is to make it live, and give those etern al qualities in all the years to come, a real place in our lives. So, to make this key open the door to th e future we must continue to champion high scholastic purposes and endeavor to convey this purpose to the non-fraternity observer; we must re-evaluate our interest in extracurricular activities and develop those .which are more professional; we must hold the interest of our upper classmen, reexamining our own program in an effort to accomplish this; we must instill in these upperclassmen the desire to repay those who have helped them, by assisting those who follow; we must make every effort to establish a more meaningful relationship with th e universities of which we are a part; and fin ally, we must earn and maintain a good public image through individual and group action. This quotation from Albert Schweitzer i so true- "The only ones among you who will really be happy, are those who will have sought and found how to serve". For all of you, whatever your goal in life, your sorority membership can open the door to a bright and enjoyable fuhrre. Take pride in your membership in Alpha Sigma Tau. Application of its precepts to your daily life is you1路 Key to the Fuhue.

The President's Address

KEY TO THE FUTURE Delivered by Miss Elizabeth Wilson at the opening session. Because we are united in Alpha Sigma Tau, we are the richer. Because we know its teachings as timeless guides, we are better women, intent on improvement, always realizing the obligation to demonstrate these teachings in our daily lives. Because we 1.'llow the joys of being tmited in Alpha Sigma Tau we want the same opportunity for young women of the years to come. A great part of your r esponsibility at this 1966 Convention i to determine the best means for preserving what the past has given into our hands, for those who will follow us. Those of you who are still in school may not really be a\ovare of the changes that have swept the wJiversities and colleges in the las t 15 years. They were not always so alive with energy and intellectual activity. Many of you won't remember when

space capsules, satellite communication and the prospect of landing a man on the moon, were, science ÂŁction. Today more and more young men and women are concentTating on graduate or professional degrees including students from all walks of life with the serious purpose of preparing themselves not just for making a living-but for life. Sororities and fraternitie have b een criticized for failing to adapt to this changing social pattern on campuses, and the demand of this new student. When sororities were form ed they were primarily social groups related to the colleges and universities but with no real attachmen t. There was little need for them to be concerned with the educational goals of the particular institution. In today's rapidly changing society it is necessaTy that we becom an effective and con tructive partner in th e total educational enterprise. There must be a closer relationship b e-

tween the fraternal and academic community. This can be achieved only with concerted effort on the part of everyone concerned-university authorities, collegiate members, national officers and alumnae. I believe that the future of th e fraternity system is assured only if we maintain the high standard of moral and ethical conduct required for membership, and make every effort to become more firmly integrated with the academic world. We must become knowledgeable about, and strongly attached to the purposes of higher education. A sorority chapter has a unique opportunity on campus to command the high respect and regard of all students, by living up to the high ideals and aspirations of its founders. We, like all Greek organizations, are desirous of building lasting bonds of friendship , bonds of tmderstanding, respect for one another and generating this spirit to others. We have always stressed scholastic excellence, but superior grades are not an education within themselves. Educators are agreed that many of the important lessons of life and experience cannot be taught or learned in the classroom. Such lessons must be learned by each individual student himself through his daily living and participation in the community life. The technological developments which have brought us to a closer association with all peoples of the world, require that we all be shtdents of human behavior and learn to live with each other. There is a story of a Chinese, who thousands of years ago, had to live with a disagreeable and unprincipled stepmother and stepbrother. H e was so unfailingly courteous and kind that he changed their characters. And th e Chinese made him their Emperor, for, they said, a man who could rule over himself, could rule an empire. H e knew the art of human relationships. Fraternity membership teaches no clearer lesson than that each member, in all that she is and b ecomes, affects all other members and that the group gains or suffers in proportion to the achievements, or failures of each member. No one of us lives in a vacuum or on an island and all that we do, affects others. We ARE involved and we DO have an inescapable responsibility for ANCHOR

the common good. Sorority membership can help us accept this truth as a personal responsibility. Regardless of the vastly changed role of women in our culhtre, we are still considered the principal guardians and transmitters of ideals and morals. This is the unchanging role of women. And it is also the unchanging role of sororities. We, as sorority women, must b e prepared to discipline ourselves to a more rigorous standard of conduct, both scholastically and socially. The high principles of loyalty, friendship, leadership and scholarship, to which all sororities subscribe, are more than principles to be professed at the time of initiation and later forgotten. In teaching these same principles, which are needed in our social, economic and political life, sororities give their memb ers something of immense value for later life. We hope that you are inspired by our purposes and respond to this inspiration. If each of you is not a better person from being privileged to membership in Alpha Sigma Tau you have been immtme to one of the greatest opportw1ities for enrichment you will ever have in your life. You ha e

a very privileged opportunity to practice this important lesson of learning to live with each other. We know that we must reflect the basic goals and aims of the colleges or universities since we are an adjunct to th em. The future of the fraternity system will be determined by the demonstrated ability of sororities and fraternities to contribute positively to high academic standards, good social behavior and constructive exh路acurricular activities. The Key to the Future of sorority growth lies in the acceptance of responsibility by all members. Too few members, both collegiate and alumnae, are doing th eir part. Only when all members share in the interests and duties, will we have a vigorous and dynamic group. So th e KEY is YOU. You are familiar with the quotation: "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. And What I ough t to do, by the Grace of God, I will do" Th r

are several very d finite ways in

which we can, through our chapter both collegiate and alumnae improve the future for Alpha Sigma Tau; for our schools and communities. l. Of prime importance is the maintenance of high standards in the selection of pledges. Too often valuable girls with high scholarship, interest in extracurricular activities and good background are passed for beauty and glamour. Our rush chairmen must be accomplished and dependable-the rush program must b e thoughtfully and carefully planned. 2. Second, we must improve our program of fraternity education. The pledge training program, or course, must be trong so that pledges realize the full privilege and respon ibility of sorority member hip. But the fraternity education program doe not end with initiation. E ach chapter should be fully informed about Panhellenic, aware of the fraternity pictme today and the pre sures for policy changes. The fortun es of all ororities ar e inten o en with the fortun e of th e panhellenic y tern on the campu. 3.

vantage of the cultural opportunities offered on campus. If the Greek groups will assume the responsibility of presentation and support of some of these programs, they will not only maintain the members' interest and attract rushees, th ey will also have the opportunity to foster good public relations for Panhellenic. I would hope that you will plan to arrange your program meetings carefully and thoughtfully, following the recommendations in the outline provided you, and SHARE these cultural programs with other campus fri ends and alumnae, both independents and Greeks, fellow students and faculty members. In addition, we are greatly in need of a program for upper-class girls. Because of the increased transfer from Junior Colleges, we are having more upper class rushees and the same programs are not always acceptable to Freshmen and Seniors. It is necessary to challenge your upper classmen with a different type of program-probably more professional than social, including topics such as Career, Marriage, Women's Rights, Americanism AND being prepared to be an alumnae. The education for alumnae membership is just as imporANCHOR

tant as your pledge training program. A weak chapter is not going to produce strong and loyal alumnae. 4. Fourth, we must re-examine our leadership program. Although leadership training has been one of the advantages included in sorority membership, today, on

many campuses, th e fraternity people are no longer th e individual lead ers. As a result, many girls are not attracted to sororities because sorority women have withdrawn from b eing the leaders. W e must stress leadership development and encourage our memb ers to participate in campus activities as leaders. 5. Fifth, we must continue our emphasis on character development. Such emphasis is achieved only by setting high standards of conduct, of integrity, or respect of law and morality, and through requiring all memb ers to meet these standards at all tim es. Sh路ength of character is not achieved through wishful thinking, but only through self-control and discipline. Sincerity, unselfishn ess, an honest concern for th e welfare of every group on the campus, and an understanding of the problems that are mutual to all groups is necessary. 6.

Alphas Initiate Six at Sorority Week -end Alphas opened spring semester by participating in Eastern's annual "Peek at Greek". This program is a presentation of sorority life to prospective rushees. Spring rush was next on the agenda. Rush parties had a variety of themes including Alpha Sigma Taus in Hollywood; House of Tau, a Chinese party; Around th e World with Alpha Sigma Tau; Mardi Gras; and Alpha Sigma Tau at Eastern Michigan Univer ity. Decorations, name tags, and refreshments followed th e themes. The final party was a Hawaiian luau held at Ann Rasmussen's hom e in Ann Arbor. A buffet dinner was served and rushees were presented with orchids floating in rosebowls with Alpha Sigma Tau lettered on the outside. Rush was very successful, for Alphas received six wonderful pledges, Connie Lewis, Sheila :McKay, Judy Mettler, Suzi :Mitchell, Carol Moore, and Kris ibbelink. May was a very busy month for the Alphas. The girls participated in Eastern's Greek 路w eek activities and won first place in th e tandem relay bicycle race. Mrs. Cross was our vvelcome gues t for national inspection early in May. She offered many helpful suggestions to the chapter. As a part of her visit Mrs . Cross

attended a model meeting. Dming this meeting the scholarship pin was passed from Beth Hartley to Grace Beebe. The pin is given annually to the junior with the highes t scholastic average. The Alpha dinn er dance was held at the Irish Hills Sportman's Club. The girls and their guests enjoyed dancing and a smorgasbord dinner. Favors for the dance were sets of amber captains' mugs with A~T lettered on th e outside. Bonnie falik was hostess for a post party held at her home. The chapter acquired new spring outfits this year. They consist of yellow poor boy sweaters and olive green A-line skirts. The week-end of May 20 fotmd the Alphas at the University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp for their sorority week-end. The girls enjoyed boating and other outdoor activities. Initation was held at the camp lodge. After initiation the new actives presented their pledge song to the ttme of "The Twelfth of ever" and their pledge project, a beautiful paddle which will be placed in one of the local clothing tores. The last meeting of the year was somewhat sad as good-byes were said to eight wonderful graduating senior . GRACE BEEBE

Greek Week was observed just following Easter vacation. Activities included Greek Sing, canoe race, push cart derby, civic service projects, and a formal all-Greek dance. The Beta mothers enjoyed a weekend of sorority life with their daughters at the annual Mom's Weekend. The mothers took over the sorority house while the girls stayed in dorms on campus. The entire weekend proved to be a pleasurable one of bowling, dancing, singing, and skits for everyone. The weekend of May 27 found the Betas ANCHOR

on Lake Huron in Port Huron for our Houseparty. Swimming, boatin g, singing, skits, and, of course, cooking kept everyone busy. During the semester we also participated in many mixers and desserts with the various campus fraternities. Tom Springfield, Theta Chi, sponsored by Alpha Sigma Tau , was elected Central Michigan University's Most Eligible Bachelor in April. On the campus scene, Alpha Sigma Taus were very active and received many honors and awards. Jane Dunsford was elected secretary of the senior class with Kathy Goetz as treasurer.

Rush b egan, and Deltas had an exceptionally good invitational open house this semester. The theme was "Taus a Go Go" and for our entertainment we were privileged to have "The Young Sounds" playing for us. The group was comprised of three eleven year old boys on drums and guitars and a ten year old girl as vocal soloist. All four youngsters attend Keith Laboratory School here on our campus. Rush parties followed and both sisters and rushees alike enjoyed "D eep Green Jungle" held at the D elta Sigma Phi fra ternity house and fea turin g "Tau" zan in th e skit. A few others i11cluded "Batman", "Prohibition" and "Tau Expresso" held in the Tmdewinds Coffee House. Our "Roses Become You" formal ru sh party was held in th e lounge of !UP's new dining hall. The brothers of Sigma Tau Gamma served as ush ers, and the rushees were entertained by two local folk singers. All our hard work was certainly worthwhile as D eltas pledged twelve very ÂŁne girls.

Zeta Has a Novel Money Maker

Zeta-zest led the Taus of Lock Haven State into a very busy and profitable spring semester. Having recovered form the shock of final exams, we were ready to meet the challenge of preparation for both spring rush and Greek vVeekend, events which ran simultaneously on our spring agenda. Although we did not claim top honors in Greek Sing 1966, we were happy to receive many compliments on our group attire : our sorority outfits of matching green skirt and blazer, and 'vvhite sweater. In ru h we fared much better and in compliance with our quota requirements, took thirteen fin e pledges: Liz Seldon, Mamie Tshudy, Jeri Ogdahl, Mary Logan, Paula Martello, Lynn Krebs, Joyce Banta, Midge McShane, Sue Campbell, Rosemary Delicauti, Judy Peters, Joann e Lingle and Mary Chronister. Enabling Zeta to acquire such a fin e group of pledges "vas our last rush party the theme of which was "Tau Island". For this event, the Treasure Island of Storybook land was tran sformed into th e "Tau Island" of Zeta Land. Portholes, fish nets, gang planks, treasure maps and yes, even a mermaid served as decorations, while skits, songs and games served as entertainment. A finer group of pledges could not have been found than those accepting our bids that joyful day in February. To help raise money for th eir pledge party and to enable them to buy a gift for the sorority, our pledges not only held weekly shoeshines, they did the sp1ing housecleaning for the local fraternity houses-an event which promoted inter-Greek relationships as well as raised money. In return for Zeta's kindly gestures toward the fraternity houses, Tau Kappa Epsilon graciously gave us the use of their house for ribbon pinning.

Red lights, checkered tablecloths, and candles helped produce th e desired effect. Perh aps the highlight of th e party occurred when the sisters were sent on a scavenger hunt to retrieve somethin g most needed by Irma. eed I say that the tray males caught haplessly on campus and drawn back to the party were a bit surprised with the whole event. Everybody had a grand time at this "fantabulous" affair. After a rough and roaring informal initiation at a local Boy Scout camp, and a serious and honorable formal initiation at a local church, the new sisters and the old "stand-bys" were treated to a fine banquet which featured the presentation of various pledge songs as well as the presentation of th e pledge gift to the sorority, a beautiful plaque to honor the Top Taus of Zeta Chapter. Complemented by several weekend dances and our candy sales, our top moneymaking project of the semester was the selling of small stuffed animals, bunnies and shmks, which sold for $1.00 each.

Iota Carries Off the Honors Iota's first big step came at the very beginning of the semester with the pledging of ten of the greatest girls on the campus. They included Carol Atkins, Vicki Brown, Chris Carpenter, Ruth Jacobs, Janon Keown, Carolyn Noteman, Nancy Newland, Linda Priest, Peggy Scheerer and H.ita Sullivan. Next came the greatly anticipated event, the winter formal. This year's formal entitled "Elegance in Lace", was held in the Colonial Ballroom of the Student Union. Iota's chapter selected Korbin Johnson, Sigma Phi Epsilon, as the Alpha Tau sweetheart of 1966. March was highlighted by Greek Week on the Kansas State Teacher's College Campus. The banquet began the festivities and Marciana Whitford, sophomore from Emporia, was chosen as Queen of Greek Week 1966 to reign over all the sororities and fraternities. Next came an exchange with the various sororities, in which two delegates from each house were representatives to each of the other houses for supper. The pajama party which followed the exchange was well attended by both sorority

and fraternity mem hers. Then cam a sweatshirt party and dance to which ach Greek proudly wore his fraternity emblem. Greek Week ended with the civic project and required church. The Alpha Taus won many awards and honors during th e semester. Cheryl Tidwell, sophomore from Caldwell, Kansas, was nam ed second runn er-up in the Miss EState contest. Eileen Wallace, freshman Overland Park, Kansas was Phi Sigma Epsilon social fraternity's candidate for the contest. Sally Schobohm, Carolyn No teman, and Cheryl Tidwell were finalists for the Miss Emporia contest. Elected to Spurs, honorary sophomore women's organization were Sharon Kinser from Pratt, Cheryl Pennington from Emporia, Linda Priest from Winfield, and Eileen Wallace from Overland Park. In the elections for 1966-67, Marciana Whitford was selected junior representative to Student Com1cil and was later voted to the position of secretary. Lynda Howald from Prairie Village was chosen as junior representative to the Union Activities Council. LINDA CAIN

For Nu, Thirteen zs Lucky Upon returning last fall quarter we found our house newly painted and redecorated. We returned with a total of eighteen members including actives and pledges. We have almost doubled in the size of our membership since then. Our main concern this past year was to grow so that we could stay on campus. We are proud to say that we are able to stay on Colorado State College's campus for the coming year. We added four pledges during fall quarter who are: Linda Adams, Dotti Jackson, Helen ANCHOR

Paterson, and Sue Peterson. Along with rushing fall quarter we participated in such things as Homecoming in which our house \.vas decorated with a huge bear leaning against it and laughing some tiny miners knocking themselves out h路ying to win. We also participa ted in Sigma Chi's D erby Day in which we won the baby bottle contest and the tug-of-war contest. Spring quarter ended with the addition of thirteen lucky pledges. D EE STOCKHAM

Omicron Honors Fellow Greeks Omicron chapter began the second semester of the school year with plans for the hectic rush season. "The Roaring Twenties" was the theme of our major pmiy which climaxed the week devoted to rush. At the end of this period we pledged Ma1ilyn Clark, JoAnn Haynes, Sonja Jtmatolo, Sharon Kinder, Linda Muscatello, Corlis Pee, Frances Nunnery, Carla Quesenberry, Reva Smith, and Thelma White. Before becoming active members of the sorority, the pledges presented the big sister-little sister party fashioned after a day at a Western ranch. The active members were entertained with a skit and song written by the pledge class especially for the occasion. With the coming of Spring, Omicron joined with her brother fraternity, Theta Xi, in planning such activities as socials, the annual spring picnic, and the Yellow Rose Formal. In order to bring about closer relationships with other Greek organizations, our Chapter together with Theta Xi Fraternity held socials honoring fellow Greeks. Plans are being made to continue these informal "get togethers" in the 1966-67 school year. The next social activity enjoyed by Alpha Sigma Tau and Theta Xi was the spring picnic. The outing, held at a nearby camp, provided a day of boating, swimming, and horseback riding for the members of the two organizations and their guest. The highlight of the Spring season is the Yellow Rose Formal. We were again joined by the Theta Xis for this very special occasion. During intermission at the dance, Omicron named Kenneth Roberts as its second semester sweetheart. Miss Brenda Hudson was given the honor of being Theta Xi Sweetheart also at this time.

Rho Completes Successful SpringHho chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau ended spring rush by adding nine pledges: Greta Pruitt, Allene Hhea, Joette Creighton, Lois Black, H elen Latimer Cheri Yost, Loxi Cearley, Sherry Childs, and Gayla Miller. The theme for the informal rush party was "Candyland". The members dressed as candy canes, gingerbread men, and lollipops. As a part of the entertainment, the "lollipoppers" did a dance routine to the song, "The Good Ship Lollipop". This was performed before a ship which was covered with green crepe paper and decorated with gingerbread men of brown painted wood. The background for the ship was a wall decorated with lollipops, candy canes, and a large ice cream cone. At the preferential party, everyone wore long formals. Punch and green and yellow cakes shaping th e letters A~T were served to each rushee. During the spring semester Barbara Clure was announced as the Beaux Arts ANCHOR

Soon after Spring Rush the twenty-on e fall pledges entertained the actives with a "Sea Worthy" pledge party which included shipwrecked sailors and hula girls. o one was surprised when the Alpha Sigma Taus were once again awarded the Sorority Scholarship Cup for the past Fall semes ter. Although they are active as a group and individually, they do not neglect their studies. Speaking of being active and receiving honor . wh n Chi-Longwood's secret organization who e memb rs r present the

"Spirit of Longwood"-revealed its members, three Alpha Sigma Taus were among them. Those girls were Jean White, Bobbie Allen an d Mary Lea Shoulders. Alpha Kappa Gamma, honorary leadership fratemity, tapped Carolyn Keys who was later elected to serve as Secretary of this organization. Many Zeta Taus received invitations to join the various ational organizations on campus and many of the rising Sophomores were cho en to serve as Colleagu es to the incoming Freshman class. Sandy Byrum will serve as vice-president of the senior class; Betty Thomasson was elected vice-president of the sophomore class with Janet Williams serving as treasurer. The Zeta Taus are looking forward to another great year under the leadership of Dr. Janet Bingner, adviser and Pat Lyddane, president.

Upsilon Stands Out Spring term for Upsilon couldn't have been better! We began the semester by going all out in rush to get the very bes t group of pledges possible. To do this, it took such things as giving an informal party with all the western trimmings, and a formal party with the theme "Aloha Sigma Tau is a Special Way of F eeling." The hours of hard work put into these projects were well worth it because the results brought in twenty new Tau pledges, the largest pledge class on campus. Alpha Taus took a big part in the play productions held this year. Margo Dunnaway and Marianne Loyd of Conway, and Tammy Stobaugh of Clinton held roles in both major productions. Also, sister Judy Bradford of Clinton, and Susan Fisher of Little Rock were dancers . Our entries to the Miss Arkansas State Teachers College Pageant ( ASTC Pageant ) this year were Sylvia Galloway of

Hazen, Ann Linneman of Hot Sprin gs, and Mary Rainwater of Little Hock. Although we didn't have the winner, Ann was a finalist, Mary is now first-runn r-up to Miss Jacksonville, and Sylvia is Queen Alberta of Arkansas. We are very proud of th em. The gridiron for next year practically belongs to Alpha Sigma Tau at Arkansas State Teachers College. Sisters an Smith of Little Rock, Carolyn Fagan of Conway, and Sylvia Galloway of Hazen are three of six regular cheerleaders. an has been elected captain of the squad. Besides that, Ann Linneman of Hot Springs will march as captain of the T-Steppers drill team, and Sara Carpenter of Little Rock will be choreographer. Ann Sybert, Sue Ramolly, Susan Fisher, Dianne Farrish an d Jan Beard are all on the squad. Many other members of our Alpha Sigma Tau family received outstanding honors this term .

The song "Morning Train", directed by Susan Wilson of Camden was the first place tune in the Greek Song Contest thi year, and Alpha Tau were the first place singers. In another conte t this term, the Forensic Speech F e tival, we won second place. The la t project of the year was a tea held in honor of our mothers. We showed them films of some of our activities and our Singin' Taus, namely: Pam Baber, Sara Carp nter, Ann Linneman, and Susan Wilson, entertained them. We ended the year with a party in our sorority room. It was a sad event because our ties of sisterhood were hard to break for the summer, but we all rest assured that next year will unite us again to live, work, pray and play as an Alpha Sigma T au family.

Members of the Phi Chapter had a busy semester in the spring of 1966. The semester began with new officers serving. Those offic rs elected were: Cindy Krobert, president; Jo Bellanger, vice-president; Barbara Edmundson, corresponding secretary; Annette Crokern, recording secretary; Cheryl Henderson, treasurer; Carroll Nox editor路 ancy Statham, chaplain; and Lorend~ Gatzman, rush chairman. New pledges for the spring semester were: Sue Achord, Kay Caston, Pam Efferson, Linda Leftin, Sharon Negehee, Charlotte Michot, Linda Morgan, and Mary Ann Tremonte. Toward the end of the semester, pledges and their big sisters exchanged gifts they had made and planned to keep in touch during the summer. Several new members were welcomed into Alpha Sigma Tau. They are: Mary Lyn Brunet, Lynn Dukes, Barbara Edmundson, Lorenda Gatzman, Nance Le Bourgeois, Carrol Nox, Jane Simmons, and Nancy Statham. In order to raise funds , the girls had a rummage sale. In order to raise fun, several of the girls participated in SIC's yearly "Play Day". It

Phi Raises Funds and Fun seems that Phis are fit, because some of them took first prize in a suitcase relay contest and also made a showing in a threelegged race. In April, the Phi chapter was pleased to have three of the members, Lynn Dukes, Barbara Edmundson and Jane Simmons in the Sigma Tau Gamma White Rose court. April 29, at the annual White Rose ball, Lynn Dukes was crowned Sig Tau's new sweetheart. The Phi chapter also chose a new sweetheart. She is Jane Simmons, and she was presented at Alpha Sigma Tau's annual spring formal. The formal dance always calling for much preparation, was decorated in the style of an oriental garden. When it was time for choosing a new Miss SLC to replace the outgoing Cheryl Henderson (a Phi member) , Phi showed its face again, Jane Simmons was elected as a member of the court. Then in May, the girls gave a formal tea at Mrs. Carter's residence. The tea, each year given for the parents of the members, was another success. CARROLL ox

Chi Has Highest Scholastic Average Again Although Chi's last business meeting was held May 3, the girls have not been inactive. Our patroness party was given by our adviser, Dr. Cree, and our patroness Dr. Scarborough on the front lawn of their home. The graduating seniors received their anchors from Dr. Scarborough and while refreshments were being prepared, games were played by the rest of the members. It was a wonderful party; although, an atmosphere of sadness could be detected due to the girls' knowledge that this would ANCHOR

be the last patroness party that Dr. Scarborough, who is resigning her teaching position, would give. As a group and individually, the Chis extend to Dr. Scarborough their appreciation and best wishes for the futme. At Shepherd's annual Awards Assembl , the Chis who sat in a body, were honored for the third tim e with the Scholarship Cup for having the highest scholastic a erage of the two sororities on campus.

That always great Alpha Sigma Tau spirit was running doublefold as the Psis began the spring semes ter by greeting two new groups of sisters. Carol Gibson, Jane Carden, Edith Fake, and Jane Weaver were joyously welcomed into sisterhood, followed by Cindy Hamlin, Dorothy Seymour, Jean Searce, Joanne Coakley, and Pat Pearson only a few weeks later. Alpha Taus had every right to be proud during spring elections as sisters took positions of leadership at Madison. Following another Psi, ancy Myers, Barbara Maury became Editor-in-Chief of the Bluestone, the college yearbook. Student Government Association officers from the Chapter are Marion Stallings, legislative vice-president; Judy Williams, treasurer; and Anne Collins, recorder-of-points. Karen ewman was elected vice-president of Honor Council. Elected to the position of vice-president of the Young Women's Christian Association was Julia Hogge. In class elections also, Taus took positions of prominence. Serving next year's junior class will be Joanne Coakley, president; Dorothy Seymour, vice-president; and Billie Lee Jackson, secretary. The sophomores elected Sandy Ritter to the Legislative branch of the Student Government Association and Billie Lee Jackson to the judicial branch of the same organization. The rising seniors elec ted Sharon McGhee as Class Reporter and nam ed Anne Collins and Julia Hogge as Out tanding Juniors. nn Collins and Judy Williams will serve

as senior repres nta tives to the judicial branch of the S.G.A. The Eas ter spirit dwelt in the hearts of all the ASTers during an Eas ter Egg htmt held for underprivileged children. E ach sister took the responsibility for one or two of the children, and many new friends were made. The party following the hunt was climaxed by a visit from a real, live E aster Bunny. It was a memorable exp erience. The Psis extended the E aster spirit to the other sororities on campus b y distributing an E aster egg to each Greek. The eggs and painted with the respective Greek letters. May Day was a big weekend both for Madison and Alpha Sigma Tau . The sorority had two b eautiful representatives in the May Court with Pat Thomas Terrance as a senior attendant, and Anne Perdue as a junior attendant. Following the May Day ceremonies a tea was held for returning alumnae. It was a pleasure to greet old friends and also to meet Psis of years past. Taking a break from that end-of-the-year rush to finish term p apers and prepare for exams, Alpha Sigma Taus gathered at Madison's college camp, Riverwood, for a weekend of fun, food , and sisterhood. Snakes, rain, and a tumble in the ri er did not dampen our spirit. Another big May e ent ' as a social vi it by District President and ational Vicepresident Mrs. Justin G.

Alpha Alphas Do a "Lot of Livin" Spring quarter on the Ball State campus found the Alpha Alpha Chapter busy rehearsing for the annual Spring Sing. We had a great deal of fun and just a little frustration practicing "Pass Me By". We presented a style show of new spring fashions in which every campus sorority was represented by a model from its group. Along with the style show we also had a card party and presented a new spring outfit for a door prize. After a week of spring vacation we got back into the swing of things by preparing for our annual parents' day dinner. The seniors presented us with a beautiful new trophy case for the suite at this time. One occasion which was especially beneficial for our suite was the suite shower we had on April 18. Many very beautiful and useful things were received. In April tl1e annual All Greek Variety Show was presented and the Alpha Alphas fared quite well among stiff competition, bringing home a beautiful new second place trophy after the presentation of "Got a Lot of Livin' To Do". W e were especially proud of Judy Adams for her excellent performance. Immediately after the variety show all Alpha Alphas were called to the suite for a very special announcement; our pledges were told that they would go active on Sunday evening. We welcomed ten wonderful active sisters. May 2 provided an evening which will ANCHOR

long be remembered by our chapter. Mrs. Twining from th e deaf education department told us of some of her many experiences in teaching deaf children. E veryone agreed that this was one of the most meaningful cultural meetings we had ever had. May 7 found us at the Wier Cook Airport Hotel in Indianapolis for one of the biggest events of the year-our closed dance. The theme was built around summer gardens and was suited perfectly to the beautiful evening. The annual Bike-A-Thou found th e Alpha Alphas peddling their tricycle witl1 a great deal of enthusiasm. Our pit decorations, built around "Dive for Victory", lent themselves very well to our costumes-old fashioned bathing suits which brought us a second place award. The ~nnual spring campout was held May 14 and 15 at camp Isonogal. H ere we drew up a great many plans for next year and mixed a little business with plea ure. The seniors were also honored at this tin1e during a short ceremony. The final event of th e year was the Alumnae Dessert Smorgasbord. The alum proved that they are excellent cooks for there were many, many very delicious desserts from which to choose. Thi was followed by a bridge lesson for the benefit of those of us who had not yet ad anced beyond euclu·e! JoA N G HORN

Alpha Gamma Has a Queen of H earts The Spring semester was an exciting and promising one with many activities and fun-making events for Alpha Gamma at HSTC. The activities of the new semester began with a pancake breakfas t given by th e pledge class. The biggest event of the term wa the Panhellenic Dance sponsored by the five sororities. There was a reception before the dance at the Arkadelphia Country Club wh ere Alpha Tau dates were presented favors. However, th e mos t exciting time of the evening was wh en the Alph a Gamma candidate, Barbara Glover, was selected "Queen of Hearts" at the dance.

In March was initiation of nine pledges: Janet Biggers, Jan Gaines, Barbara Oli er, Marilyn Green, Alisa May, Caml e Hichards, Kay Hiley, Lucia Slack and Kaki Stephenson. A Mother-D aughter tea followed with a banquet that night. On Sunday the members with their parents attended church in a group. lso in May five more pledges were initiated: Kay Fiser, San dra Pumphrey, Carl a Hay, Hebecca Higgle and Kaffy Womak.

The memb ers of Alpha D elta Chapter have decided to move. Our new house is within a block of campus. We are looking forward to getting settled in our new house. Our only problem is moving all our things. The bowling alleys in the Student Union Building have been given much use by th e Alpha Taus. Our bowling team, th e Striking Taus, won the Wom en's Intramural Bowling Tournament. We also became the champion team of the Southwest Missouri State College Dogwood Bowling League. Jane Levan took a special trophy hom e for the highest series of games.

In reviewing the Spring Semes ter of 1966, it seems that variety was the spicy keynote. Our initial activities, our rushes, covered a wide scope. Our "Arabian ight" rush, which included a menu and musical setting in harmony, commenced the semester's recruiting for new pledges. Susan Garfinkel, Alpha Zeta's versatile comedienne, canied out her version of "The Sheik of Araby" accompanied by Juanita Perez, our answer to Scheherazade. Departing from the exotic to th e folk mood, the second rush complete with fireside strumming and a sing-a-long session, was held at the home of Nancy and Phyllis Rosati. "The Untouchables" didn't have anythin g on us when we had our final rush with Roaring Twenties as the theme. As a result of the three rushes, six wonderful pledges were acquired. On Pledge Pinning Day, we welcomed Tina Blackwell, Arlene Corio, Marylyn Cunningham, Omega D'Addario, Christine Frey and Barbara Lipus. Their pledge period included the annual "Greek Letter Day" which is sponsored by Queens College for the national sororities on campus. Under the direction of Susan Garfinkel and Karen Delahan ty, th e six pledges clad in the traditional Fred Astaire attire of top hats and canes, perform ed th eir skit entitled "New York, ew York". In spite of their declaration of grievances against New York City-such as water shortage, rush hours, Lindsay's City Sales Tax, they asserted in th eir final query that they were satisfied with the lot of the average Tew Yorkers.-"Wbo could ask for anything more?" The next big event of the semester for sisters as well as pledges was held in April at the El Patio Beach Club. At the Greek Cotillion, our six pledges were presented to th e Panhellenic Council of Queens College. As our candidate for Pledge Queen, lovely Marylyn Cunningham won in our proud eyes. All eyes shone bright with happiness and pride at our Annual Mother-Daughter Luncheon held at Lorraine Murphy's in Muncey Park, Long Island. Our Alpha Sigma Tau family literally shared relations and all were sisters, daughters and mothers. With th e close of the Spring Semester, Nancy Rosati's lon g planned camping trip materialized. It provided an opporttmity for

Alpha Zetas Spoof N ew York City lpha Zeta' typical ew Yorkers to leave th e great metropolis for a taste of the wilderness. The setting was fifty miles outside of ew York City at Clarence Fohnstock Memorial State Park at the site of Lakes Canopus and Mahopac. In contrast to the rugged outdoor weekend initation ceremonies followed the "retur~ of the natives". The six pledge were officiall y initiated and welcomed to the traditions of AST. In order to make the occasion a more memorable one, an Initation Dinner Dance was held in their honor later in th e week at the Town and Country Club. Our thanks to Mary Maher for planning and arranging this fete. Voila-another completed pledge cycle! Although th e pledges were th e cent r of activity, our veteran sisters shared and enjoyed much variety also. The donning of new blazers highlighted the spring semester. The color combination of yellow and green insigna gave a springlike appearance to our sisters' "yellow jackets". We certainly are proud of two of our sisters, Nancy and Phillis Rosati, who recently made headlines in two local n ewspapers when they became eligible for Queens College's study abroad program. They will have the opporttmity to pend one year in France-a valuable experience for our two French majors. It is an understatement to say that we will miss them. One reason is that they are th e Betty Crockers of Alpha Zeta. Their baked delicacies will be d sired and th eir return welcomed by our taste buds. With the pooling of the resource , experience, talent and initiative of our n w officers, all foreca t are for a fair plea ant and rewarding F all erne ter ahead .. Am,

Alpha Eta Chapter

Alpha Eta Has Sixteen Tons of Fun The second half of this year was a busy one for the sisters of the Alpha Eta Chapter at Alma College. We pal'ticipated in the Snow Carnival, sponsored om annual Valentine's Day dance "Amo-Te" and with the culmination of Spring Rush, gained sixteen new sisters. Our part in the Snow Carnival was the construction of a snow sculptme in the competition with the theme of European monuments. We chose Italy's "Boy on a Dolphin". Closely following the Carnival came our annual dance "Amo-Te". This year's theme was "Arabian Nights". We decorated a simulated market place with hanging arches and a mosque-shaped bandstand. Sisters attending and their dates were distinguished by their Arabian costumes. Entertainm ent included an Arabian dance and the story of a contemporary Aladdin and his wishes. Rush began at Alma the following afternoon with one hunrued five girls signing the rush list. Our first event was a Tea. Om next theme was a "Tau Tepee". We invited over sixty girls to this event and they were

Indian feather pens were favors, and th e room was decorated Indian style. Our final ev nt was a D essert. Entertainment included games, guitar playing and singing, this time provided by sisters Gretchen Aszling and Chris Burr. We were thankful for the success of these three events but most thankful for the spring pledge class of sixteen great girls. These new sisters are: Linda Affolder, Sue Beck, Carole Brand, Marykay Burgess, ancy Burley, Libby Child, ancy Dunnaback, Bev Greanya, Kathy Kallweit, Janice Nichols, Cassie Pearson, Kathy Richards, Cathy Smith, Karel Ann Smith, Marcia Smith, and Kathy Tripp. They dubbed their class "Sixteen Tons of Fun" and gladfully lived up to their title. In the course of their pledge party we took a trip to the "Emerald Gold Mine" and were entertained by a home-grown band and a chorus line of lively Alpha Tau miners. Active guests were designated to come as dynamite, raihoad spikes, shovels, spades, and miner's lamps. Spring also brought participation by our sisters in Alma's annual Song F est, a pushcart race on Campus Day, and intramural softball. We were also happy to receive two special guests, Mrs. Fred Howes, Alumnae Representative-Adviser, and Mrs. R. B. Cross, ational District Vice-President. J AN THOMPSO

Alpha Theta Wins Game Trophy Alpha Theta discovered that their first year on trimester was a busy one. It took real energy to fit all the activities into our shortened school year. January found Alpha Theta busy with Greek Week. President Kathy Ceru was the chairman of the Greek Week Communion breakfast which ended the activities. Alpha Sigma Tau also won the Greek Week Games trophy in the sorority division while Jeanne Parus represented us in th e Greek Week Queen's Comt. Rushing, too, began in January. It was the first time in a year that the University of D etroit's Panhellenic Council had sponsored Formal Rush. With many hen parties and theme teas, Alpha Sigma Tau ribboned six pledges. After weeks of pledging, Cassandra Jerzykowski, Gail Joswak, Mary Anne Bailey, Rita Spychalski and Mary Ann Michalski became members of the sorority. A new addition to the second term social calendar was the Sleigh Ride. When nature failed to supply the snow, undisturbed Alpha Thetas merely changed the name and had a fine hayride with a party afterwards. Once again the girls of Alpha Sigma Tau took on the men of Tuyere, engineering fraternity, in a basketball game. Early in the fall term, Alpha Thetas managed to overcome their team in a game of football in a close contest. Armed with special rules, Alpha Thetas again won over Tuyere. Alpha Thetas held their mmual MotherDaughter Communion Breakfast. Mass was celebrated on the U-D campus. Mothers and daughters then headed downtown for a buffet breakfast at the Sheraton-Cadillac. Pledging came again with summer. The summer pledges include Elaine Kissel, Mary Eve Kopytek, Rose Marie Sandel and Connie Schecter. Their pledging ended with a sand-filled weekend at th e cottage of treasurer Pat VanDeVeere. Initiation followed

at the home of Gail Joswak during the first week of July. The University has only men's dorms, but in the summer session the girls take over the largest dorm, Shiple Hall. Alpha Thetas Kathy Serracino, Ginny Bujno, Elaine Marczak, Connie Rzonca, Barb Musial and Mary Ann Michalski got a chance to live together in real sorority life in their section of the fifth floor. The girls did not let slip the slightest chance to boost the sorority. In early July, the girls held a "Cookie Caper" to increase sorority funds and to aid the men of Reno Hall. Spring at U-D means elections and honors, and Alpha Sigma Tau was well represented. Jeanne Pan1s was elected president of Gamma Pi Epsilon, national Jesuit honor society for women. She also defeated two candidates for the vice-presidency of Women's League, which r epresents th e University's coed population. ancy Patten and Gail Artner both received honors at the Arts College Honor's Convocation. E ach were recipients of Dean's Keys, presented by the D ean of the College to thos e students for their outstanding scholarship and service to the University and fellow students. Taney served as editor of the Varsity News, the campus newspaper, during the spring term. Gail Artner received a scholarship to the University of D elaware to continue her education there. She was the only winner of this unique scholarship sought by students throughout the United States. Gail Horan was re-elected as Arts Senator in the Senate.

Alpha Kappa Follows The Yellow Brick Road

Rush parties began in February with our "Wizard of Oz" theme party. Rushees "followed the Yellow Brick Road" to the Emerald City, where each received a stuffed "Toto". Our next event was a Formal Tea where each girl was given a yellow rose: The Preference Party ended formal rush parties, and Alpha Kappa proudly took twenty-four pledges!. They include: Pam Brazee, Feather Byrne, Ellen Charske, Kathy Croom, Jeanne De Prefontaine, Marty De Wolfe, Marcia Ferguson, Dee Helton, Peg Hosmer, Alison Hyman, Mary Ide, Natalie Jones, Judy Krovchshyn, Mary Miller, Nancy Murdock, Pam Page, Sandra Rattley, Miriam Richards, Maureen Rook, Katie Schmackers, Denise Shelley, Marilyn Strauss, Barbara Thibault, and Bobbi Whitford. Preparation for the all College Sing started early in February. Song leader Teresa Mercurio led us through endless practices of our warm-up song. "Coffee Grows on White Oak Trees", and our competition song, "AI Di La". Although we did not win, we were all proud of the effort we had put forth for the performance. Our Pledge Banquet was held in the Spring at Leo's Italian Restaurant. Each

Big Sister recited a poem which she had written about her Little Sister. These poems were funny, and our "talented" poets provided us with many laughs. In April we held our annual Spring Formal at the Marietta Armory. The theme, Tau Heaven, was in honor of our pledges. Alpha Kappas and th eir dates danced under a parachute sprinkled with gold stars. The walls were decorated with silver stars for the pledges. After a fun-filled Construction Week, we held activation for our pi dges and added a new pledge to our group, Connie Mann. The last scheduled event of the year was Senior Night. The Juniors presented the Seniors with "gifts" and the seniors presented the class gift, read th e class will, and sang songs for which they had written their own words. The night was mixed with laughter and sadness. The last few weeks were spent in making plans for Homecoming and the F all semester. Reminders of things to do over the summer were posted, goodbyes were said, and so another year ended with everyone looking forward to the next year and all its activity and excitement.

Alpha Xi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau returned to Mansfield State College full of enthusiasm to make their spring semester an even greater success and enjoym ent than their fall semester had been. Their unity of sisterhood was displayed not only in th eir frequent participation in all school activities during th e semester but also in their pride of wearing their sorority attire on "unity days". These were days set aside by the sisters each month to show their feeling of unity in Alpha Sigma Tau. February proved to be a quite rewarding month for Alpha Xi Chapter. They became the sister sorority to Phi Sigma Epsilon, the first national fraternity established at Mansfield. The spirit and excitement of rushing found the sisters busy preparing for the rush parties which proved to b e quite rewarding. The them e of th e first party, "A Way To Your H earts" stimulated much interest in Alpha Sigma Tau. The lounge was decorated so b eautifully that one would think cupid himself were th ere. The invitation party followed shortly with the spirit of "Mardi Gras" and here too the lounge was a view of ew Orleans at this festive time. Alpha Sigma Tau has Carol Filemyr, th e Rush Chairman to thank for her hard and un ending work and her original ideas. The sisters always active in school competition found their spirit and unity again rewarded in March 'vvhen they took top honors with th eir entry in the Snow Carnival. The sisters worked late in th e night in inches of snow to make th e solid mass of ice which stood approximately six feet tall. ANCHOR

corned thirteen new sisters into th eir sisterhood. The initiation banquet held at th e Penn Wells Hotel showed hard work on th e part of Judy Trutt, head of initiation, and her committee. The newly installed sisters at this tim e showed th eir gratitude to th eir Big Sisters when they surprised th em with yellow rose corsages. On May 2, 1966, Alpha Sigma Tau celebrated their first anniversary with a banqu et at the Penn Wells Hotel. During the following week, the sorority was honored in the school paper and also by their brother fraternity, Phi Sigma Epsilon. Also in May, Spring Weekend found three sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau honored. Jan ice Bond, Linda Lacock, and Donna Marinkov were members of a court of ten senior girls selected by the en tire studen t body for their person ality, poise, beauty and school participation. They were all honored as queens when they appeared on th e stage of Straughn Auditorium. Their reign came to an end after the formal dance held in their honor on Saturday night, but neither they nor th eir fellow sisters will forget this Spring Weekend and the pride th ey brought to Alpha Sigma Tau. Honor was achieved also by th e election of Pat Arey as vice president of Student Council and president of the 路women's Dormitory Council, two important offices on the campus of Mansfield State College. So another school year came to a clo e. Goodbyes were said and sorority awards and plaques were locked in th e clo et, yet happiness prevailed for there would be other semesters and new sisters .

The "Sound of Music" filled the rooms and corridors of Ralston Hall for the greater part of the spring semester. The Alpha Taus of Alpha Omicron were practicing for Clarion State College's annual Greek Sing. Clarion's first Greek Week-end was quite memorable. Alpha Sigma Tau won the scholastic award, placed second in Greek Sing, singing "Dear Heart" and "The Sound of Music", and placed third in the Greek Olympics. Spring Rush began with a burst of excitement as Alpha Omicron prepared to take their first pledge class. Valentine's Day brought Alpha Taus Informal Rush Party "Tau City". The theme, of course, was western. Cowboy hats, name-tag badges and "beer mugs" were the favors. An unusually warm March day brought the Formal Rush Party. The sisters and the rushees enjoyed one of the most entertaining evenings of the spring semester. With an Italian theme what could be more appropriate than spaghetti, Italian bread, relish trays, and wine (grape juice and ginger ale) followed by sherbe1t in the colors most dear to the hearts of Alpha Taus, lemon and lime. March 5th, Alpha Omicron pin-ledged their first pledge class: Chris Carlsen, Tana Fairfax, Nancy Glass, Patricia Joseph, Amy McWhirter, Carol Palinkas, Carol Peters,

The troupe gave a musical salute to the fraternities on campus. It was our pleasure to entertain for Phi Sigma Epsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Tau Gamma, Theta Xi and Theta Chi fraternities. For one of our two cultural programs Mr. Ander P-Jobb, Art Professor and husband of our Advisor, lectured and showed a film on the recent 1956 Hungarian Revolt. A combined audience of Alpha Taus and Theta Xi's kept a lively question-answer period going until late in the evening.

The Alpha Pi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau is one of four new social sororities to come to Slippery Rock's campus. Four other national sororities have been on campus for some time, but due to the admission of a large number of freshman women, it was decided to invite four more to the campus. Alpha Sigma Tau was one of these four chosen. Letters 路were sent out to all eligible sophomores and junior women to offer invitations to join. Sixteen of the girls who re ponded joined lpha Sigma Tau. Since it was a n w sororit , ther ' r ANCHOR

no sisters-just pledges. The brothers of the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity extended an invitation to be our big brothers. This invitation was accepted and soon sixteen unwary pledges were ironing shirts, being taken on "friendly" rides, doing cafeteria duty and making paddles. But these poor pledges were not alone in their misery for long. On Sunday, March 6, 1966, eight more girls were pin pledged. The relationship between the big brothers and their little sisters continues to grow, even after initiation. The initiation of the women of the Alpha Pi Chapter took place on April 24, 1966, in the North Hall music lotmge. The president and the president elect of the Alpha Omicron Chapter were kind enough to travel to Slippery Rock to assist in the ceremonies. The formal banquet was held one week later on April 30, in Grove City. Although Alpha Sigma Tau is new on Slippery Rock's campus, we are taking forward steps. Our sisters served breakfast at President Robert Carter's formal inauguration and ushered for the Spring Greek Sing (which incidentally, our big brothers won! ) . One of our sisters is on the college drill team, the Rocklettes. During Greek

BATON ROUGE. Honors Sponsor of Phi Chapter The Baton Rouge Almnnae Chapter's spring meetings began in February at the home of our president, Peggy Aim e. We decided to have several evenin g meetings during the year for the convenience of members who worked during the day. So the March meeting was held at night at MaryAnn Parker's. Plans were formed to honor Miss Margaret D. Lowe, Phi Chapter's sponsor at Southeastern La. College, who would be retiring this year. Miss Lowe has been with us since Phi was founded on the Campus twenty-six years ago. We decided to honor her at the May luncheon by inviting all form er Phi alums, Phi Chapter, and sponsors. The April meeting took us thirty miles away to Gonzales, La. to th e hom e of Joyce Meredith. Everyone enjoyed the ride there and the hospitality in her lovely hom e. Our May luncheon was held at Jack Sabin's Private Club with Miss Lowe as honored guest. All alums from our state and many others contributed to establishing a fund for a "Margaret D. Lowe Library Shelf" in the Southeastern Library. The books to be purchased for th e shelf will be in Miss Lowe's fi eld of Foreign language and related subjects. Miss Lowe has been a vvonderful "big sister" to us through th e years and an inspiration to follow. Our memories of Phi Chapter are coupled with our memory of her gentile guidance. She has given her particular charm and love to Phis and WE SALUTE HER! MHs. C. K. ' tV1 STANLEY

We also enjoyed receiving an individual copy of th e picture made of us as a group in January at Mary Ruth McClung's new hom e. Her lovely drapes made a nice back drop for us. After February's blizzard and March's flu virus we were happy to see each other at Jane Wells Patsel's hom e in April. She had moved to facu lty row at th e Bluefi eld College Campus and we almost lost our way. Miss Jeanie Foster again entertain ed us with a book review "Loon in the Bathtub."

The F ebruary luncheon meeting, held at the home of Eleanor :McKeeman, was a pleasant experience for about eight of us.

Bobby Lowe's home was the setting for our April meeting and luncheon, while in May we traveled to Greeley for the annual Spring luncheon. The total attendance was 45, one of the largest groups ever. vVe had our luncheon and program in the lovely new Student Center at CSC, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal, fun, and fellowship, to say nothing of the lovely program of folk songs which we heard. In June, Juanita Emerick and June Sanders hosted our luncheon at the Centre H otel, and it was there that we heard all the news on summer plans, etc. Our officers for 66-67 are as follows: president, Lavonne Carlton; vice president, Vickie Garrett, secretary-treasurer, Cherie Clark; courtesy; June Sanders; chaplin, Margaret Troisi; editor, Eleanor McKeeman; historian, Doris F armer; social, Shirley Bales; membership, Opal Gish and Mariann Pulliam.

This year we expect to buy some new bedspreads for the girls, so that not only will they eat well, but they will be able to sleep beautifully, too. Our bridge group is still meeting once a month with lots of fun for all. We're looking forward to a good year. Won't you join us? We were all saddened this year b y the passing away of Dorothy Atschel ( Iota '25 ) who had been in ill health for some time.

Slesner. She showed us the processes for pouring, molding, staining, baking, glazing to the finished product. We all enjoyed this very much. The last meeting of the year was the initiation of eleven seniors of Chi Chapter into our group. Our main social service project was sending bed linens to Penland School of Handicraft. At this time we are sorry to be losing one of our faithful Patronesses to our group and Chi.

Spring time was a Fun Time for the TriCity Alumnae! One of the highlights was a "Wig Party". A local wig dealer kindly consented to demonstrating her wigs as she explained the care and manufacturing of the wigs. We were delighted to be used as models. Hilarity reigned as we saw ourselves as blondes, redheads, ''beatles" and sophisticates! It was an enjoyable evening at Ann Comon Andrew's mother's home. The dessert smorgasbord brought the evening to a close. ANCHOR

Again this spring, interesting and informative programs highlighted the meetings of the Washington, D. C. Area Alwnnae Chapter. The March meeting was held at Margaret Basilone's. At this tim e, a representative from the U.S.S. Hope showed us a film of the ship's visit to Peru, and explained tl1e valuable work which this ''hospital ship" and its staff are doing for these people in nnder developed conntries. The Chapter has pledged to do some volunteer

work for this program as part of our social service project. In April, we met at the home of Charlotte Douglas. At this meeting, we saw the film "Time and Two Women", produced by the Cancer Society. Dr. Levine was present to answer any questions which the member posed concerning cancer. The Chapter sent a contribution of $50.00 to Zeta Tau Chapter for buying furnih1re for their new Sormity room. May found us meeting at the hom e of Barbara Grubbs in Alexandria, wh ere new officers were elected. As our program for th e night, a representative of one of the airlin es sho'<ved a travel film of California. Our last meeting was held at th e home of Dee Peara. At this tim e, the new officers were installed and all business was brought up-to-date in preparation for fall. KAY STll..LWELL

berta's hair. ~lr. Cole had cut and styled Alberta's hair earlier in th e day and left the combing to b e done at the meeting. ~lr. Cole gave many good hints on what to do and what not to do with our hair. H e al o told us about wigs just in ca e any of the girls were tired of their own hair. After hearing the pric:es of handmade wigs most everyone decided her own hair wa n't o bad after all. I might add, in case you are wondering, Alberta' hair really look d great. The annual salad supper in ~lay was held in the lovely new hom e of Pat Shibley. Th e girls turn ed out in full force to try each salad that everyon had brought. The dinner was a wonderful uccess as always. We then had installations of officers for the next year. Our Alum group here has grown in size this year and we ar e really proud to have so many new girls, and, of course, our faithful girls who have been here when our group wasn't so large. Many th anks to all the officers who have mad this year a very successful one. P AT VICKERY

Grows and Grows In JV!embership YPSILANTI-ANN Our January meeting started off with a small attendance as we had a night of ice and cold winter weather. Our few brave girls who must have b路aveled by dog sled to get to the meeting saw an excellent film on "Self Breast Examination". February meeting was back to normal with all the regulars attending an infonnal evening of chit chat, refreshments, and cards. All th e dilemmas and hysteria of a normal day in the life of a typical housewife was brought to our attention in our March meeting. Blossom Randall gave a very humorous book review of "This Half of the Apple Is Mine" by Joyce Lubold. We had a large group and everyone enjoyed the review very much. Alberta Kroeker's name was drawn from a hat to have her hair cut and tyled for our April meeting. Again we had a very larg attendance to watch Don Cole, one of Wichita's leading hair tylists, comb l-

ARBOR ... Honors Wanda Bates Mr . \Vanda Bates wa our honored guest at a dinner held at H aab's in Ypsilanti. Alumnae gathered to wish Mrs. Ba tes much future success in h er retirement from Eastem Michigan niversity and as long tim e adviser to Alpha Chapter. vVe regret very much losing her service and companionship. Mrs. Bates ha always been a respected symbol of our sisterhood. She ha led us ably through many years of trial and tribulations and watched Alpha Chapter grow from its youth into the fin e sisterhood it i now. W e always relied upon her sagacity in helping us meet our challenge and in carrying out the ideal and tradition of Alpha Sigma Tau. \Vith mixed motion we wi h h r a fond fm ew II a ' all k'"now he i de erving of a long awaited res t from th time n tm1AN H R

ing duties as adviser and coll gc librarian. We will all miss her presence and gratefull y thank her for her lead ership. Mrs. Bates plans to remain in Ypsilanti and we will have opportunities from tim e to tim e to share om future plans with her. Mrs. Emma Murphy, secretary at the Rackham School of Special Educa tion, has very graciously accepted the role as adviser and has aheady become involved in many of the sorority's activities. Mrs. Murphy is a resident of Ypsilanti and is a very enthusiastic and ambitious person. She has always shown a great deal of interest in the activities of the college. The Alpha Chapter will continue to flourish under her capable leadership and is very fortun ate to have such a fin e adviser. The Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Chapter met at the hom e of Mrs. James Snaden in F ebruary. After concluding our items on th e agenda, we viewed some beautiful slides taken and narrated by Miss Janet Kuhl of her European tour last summ er. As we watched the slides, it seemed as thou gh we were right there with her. We were all amazed to see th e extent to which th ese countries have become westernized. I was

csp ciall y fascinated b y ll v ndin g machin es th at di spensed fl owers and th signs on th e gasoli ne stati ons saying, "Pul a tig â&#x20AC;˘r in your tank" .in a fo r ' ign la ng11 ag â&#x20AC;˘. We wish to th ank Mrs. H. J3. Cross for takin g tim e from her busy sch dule to vis it th e Alpha Chapter and for attendin g th e dinn er May 17th with memhers of th e Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Chapter held at th Huron Motor Inn in Ypsilanti. We were all determined to make th at trip to Brighton th at we missed because of poor weath er in January, so we ga th ered our pot luck supper and met at the home of Mrs. Willard Maxey in June. This year's activities were discussed and evaluated and plans were made for next year and for th convention. Mrs. Charles Belknap and Mrs. Richard Weinberg attended as our representatives. The March meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Charles Belknap . The highlight of the evening was the silent auction of various items contributed b y the membership. E ach bidder placed her name and her bid on a piece of paper and slipped it undern ea th the object. Of course, the object went to the highest bidder.

(Continued from page 5) of th e war. The one place still being rebuilt was the country palace of Cath erine the Great. The study of Hussian is fascinatin g; it is not especially difficult but is very slow because of the alphabet. When Dr. Twarog talks about Russian, and people ask him whether or not it is diffi cult, he says th at it is th e easiest of all Slavic languages. His evasion is very clever! A recent study shows that one out of every 390 U.S. citizens, speak Russian, while one out of every 23 Soviet citizens speaks English. Likewise only about six percent of U.S. scientists speak or read Russian , while more than forty percent of Soviet scientists speak English . In 1960 the U.S. Government p aid out one and a half million dollars for translating Soviet scientific papers but even so, trans-

lated only fi ve percent of the output. I have mentioned this to show the reason wh y many colleges are pushin g the study of Hussian. I am interes ted only in the people and culture of th e Soviet Union, not in its government or present political ideology. Many armies have in vaded Hussia during the centuries but somehow th e people produ ced great art, music, and literature. It is hard to believe th at they didn't even have their own Slavonic alphabet until it was developed by St. Cyril in 86 , four hundred years after the fall of th e Homan Empire. These people who have smvived centuries of war and invasion, and centm ies of intern al strife ar e the citizens of th e So i t Union today. The armies and ideologie will come and go, but the hard workin g patient, and devoted people will remain.

I Am A Tired American "I am a tired American. "I am tired of being called the ugly American. "''m tired of having the world panhandlers use my country as a whipping boy 365 days a year.

"I am a tired American-who is getting madder by the minute at the filth peddlers who have launched Americans in an obscenity race, who try to foist on us the belief that filth is an integral part of culture ....

"I am a tired American-weary of having American embassies and information centers stoned, burned, and sacked by mobs operating under orders from dictators who preach peace and breed conflict. ...

"I am a tired American-weary of the bearded bums who tramp the picket lines and the sit-ins-who prefer Chinese Communism to capitalism-who see no evil in Castro, but sneer at President Johnson as a threat to peace.

"I am a tired American- choked up to here on this business of trying to intimidate our Government by placard, picket line, and sit-ins by the hordes of dirty unwashed who rush to man the barricades against the forces of law, order, and decency.

"I am a tired American-who has lost patience with that civil rights group which is showing propaganda movies on college campuses from coast-to-coast-movies denouncing the United States, movies made in Communist China.

"I am a tired American-weary of beatniks who say they should have the right to determine what laws of the land they are willing to obey.

"I am a tired American-who is angered by the self-righteous breastbeater critics of America, at home and abroad, who set impossible yardsticks for the United States, but who never apply the same standards to the French, the British, the Russians, the Chinese.

"I am a tired American-fed up with the mobs of scabby-faced, long-haired youths and short-haired girls who claim they represent the 'new wave' of America and who sneer at the old-fashioned virtues of honesty, integrity, and morality on which America grew to greatness. "I am a tired American-weary unto death of having my tax dollars go to dictators who play both sides agains t the middle with threats of what will happen if we cut off the golden stream of dollars. "I am a tired American-nausea ted by the lazy-do-nothings who wouldn't take a job if you drove them to and from work in a Roll Royce. . . .

"I am a tired American-who resents the pimply-faced beatniks who try to represent Americans as the 'bad guys on black horses.' "I am a tired American-who is weary of some Negro leaders who, for shock purposes, scream four-letter words in church meetings. "I am a tired American-sickened by the slack-jawed bigots who wrap themsel e in b ed beets in the dead of night and roam the countryside looking for innocent ictims.

ANCHOR

"I am a tired American-who dislikes clergymen who have made a career out of integration causes, yet send their own children to private schools. "I am a tired American-who resents those who try to peddle the beliefs in schools and colleges that capitalis~ is a dirty word and that free enterp1ise and private initiative are only synonyms for greed. They say they hate capitalism, but they are always right at the head of th e line demanding their share of the Am erican way of life. "I am a tired American-who gets more than a little bit weary of the clique in our State Department which chooses to regard a policy of timidity as prudent-the same group which subscribes to a 'no-win' policy in Vietnam. "I am a tired American-real tired of those who are trying to sell me th e belief that America is not the greatest nation in

all the world-a g nerous-hearted nationa nation dedicated to the policy of trying to help the 'have nots' achieve some of th good things that our system of free nterprise brought about. "I am an Am erican-who gets a lump in his throat when he hears the 'Star Spangl d Banner' and who holds back tears when he hears those chilling high notes of the brassy trumpet when Old Glory reaches the top of the flag pole. "I am a tired American-who wants to start snapping at those phony 'high priests' who want us to bow down and worship their false idols and who seek to destroy the belief that Am erica is the land of the fr ee and the hom e of th e brave. "I am a tired American-who thanks a merciful Lord that he was lucky to be born an American citizen-a nation under God, with truly mercy and justice for all."

IN MEMORIAM 0 Lord, Support us all the day long 'Until the shadows length en and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of l-ife is over and om w01'k is done. Then, in Thy mercy, Grant us safe lodging and a Holy rest, and Peace at last. Amen. 0
