~ETHER YOU PREFER tO call her the Queen City of the South or the Crescent City-both refer to fascinating, historic New Orleans. With this city as the site for the 17th National AST Convention, you won't want to miss it. Circle the dates August 19-23 on your calendar and make plans now to attend. For your convenience convention and hotel reservation blanks are included in this issue of the ANCHOR on pages 8 and 9. Don't waste a minute. Fill them out today! Both the national and local convention chairmen, June McCarthy and Camille Gennaro, report that the five-day convention program offers a variety of activities for both collegiate and alumnae members. (See the complete convention program on page 6.) Assisting at this convention as hostesses will be the collegiate members from Phi, Alpha Gamma, Upsilon and Alpha Mu Chapters. Alumnae members from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Little Rock and Conway also will act as hostesses. With the Sheraton-Charles Hotel just two blocks from the Vieux Carre, convention-goers should be able to get in a little sightseeing during their free time. The Vieux Carre, also known as the famed French Quarter, marks the site of the original settlement of New Orleans. Buildings in this section are distinguished by their European style of architecture which features lacy iron balconies. All types of stores and restaurants are 4

found in the bustling French Quarter. Make it a point to visit one of the many quaint dining spots and sample some of the Creole cuisine. This unique culinary art blends recipes from France, Spain and the West Indies. Are antiques your weakness? If they are you should have a great time on Royal Street in the French Quarter. More than 40 antique shops are found along this picturesque street. You're sure to find something of interest in one of these unusual shops. Crpssing Canal Street to reach the French Quarter is another experience in itself. This street is the nation's widest and most brilliantly lighted thoroughfare and serves as the dividing line between the old city and the modem business section. Now that you know what's waiting for you down in New Orleans, are you interested in some travel information? You have your choice of plane, train, bus or car. The New Orleans International Airport handles all scheduled passenger traffic to virtually every major metropolitan area. Approximately 14 airlines work out of this airport and they schedule 250 arrivals and departures a day. Coming by bus or train? There's no problem here either as bus and train lines from this area give service to all parts of the country. The New Orleans AST Convention promises to be an unforgettable ex-peri n e.

Search for Queen Continues One of the highlights of the AST Convention again this summer will be the selection of the Convention Queen. This lovely lady will be chosen from all the candidates submitted by each of the collegiate chapters. The task of selecting the Queen will be handled by a panel of local judges. Their decision will be made on the basis of the candidate's loveliness, poise, personality, diction, voice, spontaneity and beauty. The New Orleans Queen will be announced at the Tuesday luncheon. Following this event the Queen and all the other queen candidates plus the Convention Belles will be honored at the Queen's and Belles' luncheon at the Sheraton-Charles. ANCHOR

HOR

The AST Family Keeps Growing Two PLEDGE CO LONIES joined the growing ranks of Alpha Sigma Tau late last year. Pledges of Theta Colony at Wayne State University in Detroit and Alpha Rho Colony at Yow1gstown State University, Yotmgstown, Ohio, are anxiously awaiting the day when they can be welcomed into the full sisterhood of AST. "The oldest and the newest" -this is the slogan of th e new Theta Colony. The original Theta Chapter, founded in 1923, was the first sorority on the Wayne State campus. However, four years ago the Thetas went off campus, but all remembrances of the sorority were not forgotten. In September 1967, the Theta alwnnae began a program to revive their chapter. Their efforts were rewarded on Nov. 19, 1967 when 18 girls form ed the Theta Pledge Colony. Mrs. Bernard McBee, national expansion director, and Miss Margaret MacDonald, national treasurer, conducted the pledging ceremony. At this fun ction Tin a Hotra was officially installed as the president of the Theta Colony. Taus from Indiana University, Indiana, Pa., and Slippery Rock State College, Slippery Rock, Pa. , joined in the ceremony which organized the Alpha Rho Pledge Colony at Youngstown State University. Eighteen girls were initiated as Alpha Rho Founding Sisters at this ceremony on D ec. 10, 1967. Linda Danner was selected to head the slate of officers for this new colony. At a reception following the pin pledging, gifts were presented to the Youngstown D ean of Women Edith P. Painter and favors were distributed to the new pledges. ANCHOR

The heart of the Wayne State University's campus in Detroit is the Memorial Mall, which includes the Helen L. DeRoy Hall and the Meyer and Anna Prentis Building.

Old Main, the landmark building of Wayne University for 50 years, was built in 1896. This stately structure still is important in the instruction program on campus.

Th is picture repre sen ts the artist 's conception of the new physical educa tion bu ild ing to be bu il t on the Youngstown cam pus.

Now here are a few notes on the home campuses of our two new coloni es. W ayne State University, fow1ded in 1868, is observing its centennial celebration this year. More than 30,000 students are enrolled in degree programs at the W ayne campus. In addition there are more than 26,000 persons taking advantage of W ayne's cooperative extension courses and programs. Students at WSU are offered a wide choice of curriculums in its 10 colleges and schools, plus the division of Graduate Instruction and Urban Extension. The W ayne campus covers 173 acres including the main campus and the medical campus. Yow1gstown State University was originally fotmded as Youngstown College in 1908. It now incorporates schools of law, music, engineering, education, business adminstration and the College of Arts and Science. Jones H all , the main campus building, was built in 1931 and still stands as the campus landmark. Youngstown became a state school in July, 1967, and now boasts a sh1dent body of more than 15,000. There are six national sororities and 13 national fraternities on the campus at the present time. Editor's Note-Since this story was prepared the Theta Pledge Colony achieved full chapter status and was formally reactivated at ceremoni es in D etroit. Also two more pledge co lonies have been organized. They are the Alpha Tau Pledge Colony' at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pa. and the Alpha Sigma Pledge olony at Northeast Missouri State Teache rs' College in Kirksville. ]4

Alpha Sigm a Tau representatives at the conference were (left to right) National President Elizabeth Wil son, Central Office Executive Dorothy Meyer, NPC Delegate Mary Lou1se Doyle and NPC Altern at e Sybil King.

National Panhellenic Conference Meets NEW ORLEANS SET the scene for the 40th session of the National Panhellenic Conference, Nov. 1-5, 1967, but th ere was little tim e for the usual sightseeing and strolling th e fam ed Bourbon Street. All the delegates instead devoted themselves to considering the many challenges facing fraternities today. Alpha Sigma Tau's delegation to the conferen ce included National President Elizabeth Wilson, Central Office Executive Dorothy Meyer, NPC Delegate Mary Louise D oyle and NPC Alternate Sybil King. At the opening luncheon, Mrs. John McKeithen, wife of Louisana's Governor, brought greetings from the Governor and presented Mrs. Karl B. Miller, Sigma Kappa, National Panhellenic Conference Chairman, with an honorary commission. At one evening panel discussion on "Challenge and Response, " it was noted that an estimated six million students will be attending junior colleges by 1975. The panel urged delegates to redesign pledge programs to fit the upperclassman.

Among the other reco mmendations from this panel were shorten ing pledge periods, allowing pledges to conduct their own meetings and substituting careful tutorial help for the usual required study table. A challenge to fraterniti es to address themselves to the purpose of the w1iversity was issued by Dr. John A. Hunter, president of Louisiana State University, one of th e dinner speakers at the conference. H e urged fraternity women to be leaders and standard bearers in change that is orderly and con tructive. "A sorority," remark ed Dr. Hunter, " mu t teach its members to distinguish between that which is important and that which is tri ial 15

... to recognize the difference between mere change and real growth .. . to discover that there is a difference between defeat and compromise and between an engraved sheepskin and a meaningful education." In the final banquet address, Dean May A. Brunson of the University of Miami asked women's fraternities to examine their relevancy to the university. "The ideals of sororities," she said, "are revelant, but are the practices?" Dean Brunson urged a study of pledge education, the moral and social standards of the chapters, extra curricular activities and scholastic achievement. She entreate<;l sororities to stand firm for order and reason.

NPC Chairman Mrs. Karl Miller in her closing address named uniting fraternities into a more cooperative group as one of the objectives of the 1965-67 biennium. Conceding that much progress has been made, she urged an even greater development of a closer working relationship of its groups. A true panhellenic spirit on campus would eliminate many problems, according to Mrs. Miller, and provide tmity and strength for the development and growth of women's fraternities. The Challenge to survival has been issued ... the Response must be a tmified stand against coercion and pressure that would deny fraternities their right to exist as voluntary organizations.

Mrs. Emmett Phipps Joins Project-TAC

•••• Mrs. Emmett C. Phipps, AST national housing chairman, has added another honor to her long list of accomplishments. She has been named a consultant in the Claude Worthington Bene dum-finan ced program called Project-Teaching About Communism. Project-T AC, endorsed by the West Virginia board of education last fall , consists of three parts: establishing a state curriculum center at West Virginia Institute of Technology, publishing a teaching resource book and conducting an institute on communism. The ultimate goal of the project is to teach high school students the facts about communism as an essential part of understanding contemporary ideological conflicts. Mrs. Phipps and the five other consultants for the program have outlined the major topics for discussion at this summer's West Virginia Tech institute. These topics cover the philoso ph y of Marxism-Leninism, the Russian revolution, the world communist movement and contemporary life in the communist world. ANCHOR

Another part of Mrs. Phipps' work this year will be to review instructional materials on communism and assist with the organization of a five-week summer institute. Fiftyfive educators from 55 countries will participate in this institute. A native of Beckley, W. Va. , Mrs. Phipps teaches social studies at Parkersburg High School. She holds an AB from Concord College and has done graduate work at Marshall and West Virginia universities.

for gold lmed many people to the unknown wilds of Alaska. Today , however, thousands of people venture into om 49th state without the thought of go ld eve r en tering their minds. Tourists stream into Alaska to view the many natural wonders in this immense country . Among last summer's Alaskan visitors were Josephine Barbier Harshman, Alpha Alpha alumna, and her husband. They traveled as part of a study group sponsored by Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. During the month-long trip, Mrs. Harshman's prime interest was to meet and become acquainted with as many native women as possible since she has been studying women's contributions to their culhues. The paper she submitted following this trip completed her requirements for her MA from Ball State. Traveling to sh1dy women and their cultmes is not new for Mrs. Harshman. In the summ er of 1966, she visited 11 countri es in Europ e and prepar e d a pap e r e ntitled " Women I Met Behind the Iron Curtain." The following paragraphs represent some of Mrs. Harshman's thoughts on "Three atives of Alaska." Only Indians, Eskim os or Aleuts are natives. Even whites born in Alaska are not natives. They are called " Sourdoughs. " As a rul e the Indians live in Fairbanks or in the south part of the state. All the natives north of the Arctic Circle are Eskimos, while the Aleuts live on the Aleuti an Islands. Each group has a characteristic appearance and a different culture. The S. S. Yukon Star, on which we sailed the Inside Passage, made a port-of-call at Ke tchik an where I met my first Alaskan Indians. W vistied Totem Pole Park where the YEARS AGO THE QUEST

native children danced in attractive red costumes to en tertain the group. One little dancer interested me especially, because during the eremony her eyes were riveted to a special spot offstage where her mother was. I don 't have a picture of that lady's face, but mamas have looked that same way since the beginning of time. There was pride there, but anxiety also for she wanted little daughter to be correct and pl ease the audience. In pantomime the parent was sending signals of where to stand and how to sing and dance-a typical mother ac tivity whether Caucasian or Indian-rich or poor. When I chose this little girl to photograph, there was gratifi cation in the mother's eyes. I had paid he r the supreme complimen t. We did not need to speak the same language; we understood each other. 1 especially admire the Eskimos. They have developed a way of life which made it possibl e for them to live off the land for

This little Alaskan Indian caught Mrs. Josephine Harshman's eye when the children performed a dance at Totem Pole Park.

hundreds of years in an extremely difficult situation. Twentieth century man, with all his technical knowledge, cannot do so; he must ship in, at great cost, his supplies from the lower 48 states. The modern Eskimo, although he likes and uses some of the "civilized" luxuries, has retained his fundamental cultural patterns, and the sourdough must emulate him or die in the land of the midnight sun. I would enjoy writing a thesis on Eskimo culture, but will at this time tell you about one remarkable lady I met. H er name is H elen Seveck, and she and her husband Chester are tour guides for W ien Air Alaska and live in Kotzebue. Their job is to entice tourists to the Arctic and to show visitors the Eskimo customs that have made their li ves successful and even pleasant. He1en and Chester Seveck have been featured on Ed Sullivan's television show. Although they look to be no more than 50 years old, they are in their 70's-a remarkable fea t when you learn about their history. Helen Seveck lived in a skin tent during the winter and summ er for the first 40 years of her eventhtl life. In a tent her nine children were born, one during the long night (three months long) with the temperature 30 degrees below zero. Now H elen has more than 100 grandchildren and li ves in a wooden home. She still makes the family's clothing, bed coverings and shoes. I also went to St. Paul , the seal island of the Pribilof group, where I photographed a little Al eut. The inhabitants of the island depend on the seals for their livelihood. They are prosp erous although they work only three or four months during the short summer when the seals come to the islands for breeding. When I spoke with one of the Aleut mothers, I discovered at least one reason why a large number of the nati ves become ill with anxiety. The island nurse told us that almost one-third of the Aleuts have heart trouble, anxiety of some type or are alcoholics. This young mother, who had three older daughters, was already worrying about her son going away to school and leaving the island for good. The school on the island offers only nine years of study. When it is tim e to go to high school , the children must leave for the "south 48" to be enrolled in government schools. The girls usually com e back, but the boys often go on to coll ege. ANCHOR

Why was this mothe r already worrying about a son not old enough to go to first grade? I beli eve it was not so much that he woul d leave but th at he would not find th e "outside" world compatible nor wou ld St. Paul island and seali ng be desirable. She sensed the unhappy fu tu re for her son. Again I was impressed with the fact th at no matter where we travel or whe re a mother lives, she has the same asp irations for her loved ones. Thank God mothers all over the worl d are so much alike. Could it mean peace for the earth? I personally am very th ankfu l I was able to go to Alaska and meet these three mothers -an Indian, an Eski mo and an Aleut.

Happiness Is AST! For the Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan University, the fall semester opened with Sorority Weekend at Fox Rtm Fresh Air Camp. Sorority Weekend was more than a "gettogether" for our sisters following summ er vacation; it also served as a "Rush Workshop" during which we carehtlly planned for a busy rush season. Be fore we kn ew it, ru sh h ad ended as quickly as it had started. The careful planning and the united effort of our sisters, had its dividends, for we found ourselves with a fine pledge class of eleven girls. In November, Alph a Chapter gave a " Parents' Tea" at which our parents were introduced to the history, tradition, and sisterhood of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority. Refreshments were served while parents took noti ce of our attractive display table. Entertainment began with the introduction of our pledge class followed by a skit on the " Mad-hatters' Tea Party." What finer way could such an important group of guests become acquainted wi th AST Sorority Life! The "Yuletide Season" found Alpha Chapter involved in a number of social activities. The Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter Dessert was held at Woodruff Elementary School. Besides all the delicious goodies on which we all feasted, we also saw slides on Pine Mow1tain Settlement School. Our Chapter was the proud recipi ent of a new camera given to us as a gift by the Alumnae Chapter. Ypsilanti State Hospital was the site of cheerful Christmas caroling where we sang to women patients. Afterwards, we carri ed the Christmas spirit a littl e furth er with a pizza party at Casa Nova's Restaurant here in Ypsilanti. The Greek Christmas Sing was held in Bowen Field House. ASTs sang "A Few of My Favorite Things," and filled the entire stage with a colorful array of costumes and props. Pantomime and dance added to the total effect of our performances. ANCHOR

Every happy and enjoyabl e sem stcr always ends on a sad note of farewell as we say goodbye to ou r graduating sen iors. This scm ster found us extending our wishes of future success to Conn ie Owen, ancy F lanagan , and Shari Simm ons. Catching us by surprise Carole Vanriette announced her plans for transfer from Eastern to a Nursing School in Detroit. Good luck and farewell to th ese sisters, we will miss you very much. EILEE

Betas Take First Place in Snow Sculpture Once again the annual House Shower ushered in our fall semester. The sisters of the Beta Chapter, the alumnae members, and th e patronesses supplied the house with new bath mats, towels, ligh t fixtures, etc. Homecoming was a time of much work and great excitement. Jayne Voskuil, a Mt. Clemens Junior, was chosen to represent our chapter. Her warm sm il e and clever theme, " Our Jayne Ain't Plain," won her a place on the Homeco ming Court. We're all very proud of our girl. Together with the Theta Chi fraternity, the Beta Chapter constructed a flo at entitled, "The Chips Race to Victory over Hills and D ales on I-75. " An Alumnae tea started the festivities off on Homecom ing Day. It was a wonderful opportunity to see old faces and catch up on old news. Open Rush brou ght to us four lov e ly pledges. Dad's W eekend was again a huge ucce s. The clay started off with a football game, followed by a bowling tournan1 ent, dinner, a turkey raffle and skit by the gi rls, and dancing at the Chieftan . Everyone was exhausted at the end of the day. I don't know who enjoyed th e ms e lves th e mo t ... dad or daughters!

The annual Central Michigan University Snow Carnival transformed a sleepy winter campus into a fantasy land from "Our American Heritage." Th e Betas took a first place trophy for sororities with their sculpture, "The Chips Came First. " The snow sculpture depi cted a teepee and a Chippewa Indi an lying W1der it. The Beta Chapter would like to take this tim e to thank their new housemother, Mrs. Sara Goldbec ker, and their new chapter advisor, Miss Thompson, for the wonderful job they are doing this semester. We' re looking forward to having them with us fo r as long as they want to stay. The Betas anticipate an even busier and fulfill ed Spring semester which will keep them on the move. WEND I

Delta Hosts State Day Rush ca me and went with the adclition of eight lovely girls. They were hard-working, perfec tionists, and above all else simply adorable. Their projects were endless. The annual pledge dance entitled " Pho TAU Graphy'' was a hit with the girls and ended with the presentation of a large paddle with their names on it .. . truly the work of artists. With Homecoming early this year, cooperati on from all the sisters was essenti al. Out of 22 floats in the parade, ours placed sixth . A huge butterfly sitting on a fl ower was our presentation for " Madame Butterfly." The ove rall theme for H omecoming was "SoW1ds of Music."

She and sister Marilyn Praster we re selected as Kaydeen . ally Shoemaker also parti ci pated in the par ant. 30

Highlighting the fall semester for D elta was State Day. On Saturday, October 21 , 1967, we observed our first State D ay in Pennsylvania entitled " A Time For Friendship." Sister chapters represented were Alpha Xi from Mansfi eld State College, Alpha Omicron from Clarion State College, Alpha Pi from Slippery Rock. Zeta chapter from Lock H aven was unable to attend because of their Homecoming. Also attencling were Miss Margaret Macdonald, National Treasurer; Mrs. Joseph Steen, ational C hapl ain; and Mrs. Robert Wales, Distric t President. The program began at 9:30 with a welcome speech from president of D elta, Sharon Mitchell and chapter adviser, Mrs. Donald B. Shank . Also at this ti me an address was given by Lynn Helmri ch entitled "A Time F or Friendship." A wo rkshop followed which lasted until 11 :30. This involved an exchange of ideas concerni ng rush, pledging, chapter fin ance, campus ac tivities, and coll egiate alumnae associations. These co mmittees were conduc ted by Linda L W1den, Lola Bence, Don na Montana, Sherry Testa, and Mrs. Shank, respectively. Luncheon at the Faculty Lounge was the highlight of the day. Each chapter presented a skit and sang a favo rite song. Two girls from each sorority on the Inclian a campus presented a fashion show announced by sister Elinor Frye. One girl modeled their sorority colors and another modeled a fall fashion. Awarded to the chapter with the most sisters represented was a Boating trophy. At this time the National Officers spoke to the girls. Following the IW1cheon another workshop climaxed the day . After the workshop the girls rushed to the football field to see the remainder of the Clarion-lncliana game.

Zeta zn the News Last semester Zeta Chapter really showed her green and gold arotmd campus. W e began the year by pledging five hard-working girls who became energe tic sisters. Soon after rush, we started showing our Tau Spirit. Our first major effort was to take the boys and girls from the county Children's Home on a picnic at nearby H annah Park. After getting acquainted with one another, the children and sisters played games and went on a treasure hunt until lunch was ready. The evening ended with a lot of sad "good-byes. " The next week some sisters went back to the Chilcb路en's Home and carved Jack O 'Lanterns with the children for Halloween. W e planned to go caroling before Christmas vacati on, but illness prevented the children from going. Six Zetas became members of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor fraternity in education, this semester. Making this T au news were Joyce Banta, Jaynee Carolus, Jean H andwerk , Sanely Gusmerotti, Lynn Krebs, and Lois Osman. On Founders' Day, we were guests of Mansfield's Alpha Xi Chapter. We spent a pleasant day touring their newly-innovated campus, and enjoyed an inform al afternoon tea. Their pledges entertained us with an original skit.

Fall rush began for the Iota Chapter members and rushees as they took a trip through the "Time Tunnel," a theme used throughout the week. The week ended successfully by the pledging of thirty of the greatest girls on campus. Next came the annual "Freshman Talent Show" which was won by Ann Bohning, a pledge of Alpha Tau. Another pledge, Lynn Bollinger, was honored when she was elected freshman representative to the Union Activities Council. Fathers' Weekend brought all of the fathers for a weekend of college fun. The fathers were entertained by attending a football game and other campus activities with their daughters. The activity was so enjoyable that the chapter would like to make this one of their annual events.

Homecoming was an exciting event at the Alpha Tau house this year when five of our girls were candidates for homecoming queen. They were Linda Howald, Marsha Smith, Zandra Stanley, Cheryl Tidwell and Marci Whitford. Of the five finalists, Lynda Howald and Marci Whitford were selected and Marci reigned as the Queen over the Homecoming Activities. Founders' Day was celebrated by our Annual Founders' Day dinner.

During the month we held a social with the sister sorority, ate together, and cheered for each other at Intramurals. We also sponsored an AllSorority Christmas Party at which we stuffed stockings for needy children in the area. Omicrons were highlighted on campus when we won the Track and Field Meet, soccer, and ping-pong singles and doubles in Intramurals, and also when Omicron's Sharon Kinder was one of the Snow Princesses at the annual Snowflake Formal. One Omicron, Jenna Lou Gianato, received state-wide recognition with the title of West Virginia Water Festival Queen and Forest Festival Princess. Within the sorority Nancy Brown was awarded Best Pledge and Gwen Lester and Rita Ramella were recognized as graduating seniors. MARTHA HANLEY

Omicron Steals Homecoming Spotlight Emerging from rush with twelve new pledges the Omicron Chapter was off and running through a successful fall semester. During pledging the Chapter rented a cabin at a near-by state park for a pajama party to get the actives and pledges better acquainted. Omicron did indeed steal the spotlight at Homecoming! Our candidate, Linda Muscatello, caphtred the Homecoming Queen title; our float received second place and our Alumnae Representative-Adviser, Marcella Whitlock, was awarded Alumna of the Year. In addition, our girls shone all over campus in their smart green wool outfits. Next on the agenda was the annual Fotmders' Day Banquet and the Haysee<;l Hop held with the Theta Xi Fraternity. At the dance Theta Xi named Omicron's Thelma White as Sweetheart and we chose Theta Xi's Joe Giampolo.

Pi Recognized on Campus For Pi Chapter, the fall semester was both busy and fun. September meant the meeting of the new administration of H arris Teachers College and th e acquirin g of man y new friends. The All Women's Assembly opened the doors to Rush; this assembly explained Rush to the new women students. The Panhellenic Tea on September 24, 1967, gave the rushees an opportunity to meet the girls of each sorority and was the "go ahead sign" for the sororities to send invitations to their parties. The theme of Pi's informal party was " Anchors Aweigh." Portholes, anchors, fish, and Alpha Sigma Tau mugs gave the party a salty air. The rushees were served a typical sailor's dinner of torpedoes, treasure chips, and sea foam. There was one outstanding factor at Pi's "Anchors Aweigh" and this was the togetherness of th e Pi girls. This togtherness was exemplified by the cooperation and happiness expressed by the girls amongst themselves. The them e of the formal rush party was "Yellow Rose" and was held at the downtown Holiday Inn in St. Louis. This party revealed a very serious side of sorority life to the rushees. The Pi girls, dressed in form als, conducted a candlelighting service during which green and yellow ribbons of friendship were given to each rushee. The candlelighting service was written by Sue Ellebracht of Pi Chapter. Our efforts were rewarded by the welcoming of five great pledges. Pi was quite proud of its own Melanie Welsh when she walked down the aisle as first maid of Sigma Sigma Sigma's H arvest Moon Ball. Pi Chapter was proud when Judi Scheid was selected by the student body as a maid in the court of the Campus Queen. The week of Homecoming was highlighted when we received second place trophy for our car float. W e are quite sure that our six foot Harris Hornet won the hearts of the judges. Two weeks later Pi won another second p lace trophy for its efforts in Lambda Beta ANCHOR

Lambda's Room Decorating Contest. The theme "Christmas on the Farm with Alpha Sigma Tau" was carried out to its fu ll est. Just a few notes on the roman ti c side of a few of the Pi girls-Barbara Everhart became the bride of James Shelton; Gerri Hann became the bride of Glennon Sykes; Janet H arvey became lavaliered to Frank Wendli ng of Lambda Beta Lambda; and Judi Scheid becam e engaged to Dennis Corsine. Pi chapter had fun go ing to parties such as the mixer with the Sig Tau's from Southeast Missouri State College;路 the mixer was held at Cyndy Snyder's house. There were several dances at school which Pi supported. " Spur of the moment" activi ties, such as afternoon trips to the Art Museum or ice skating, proved to be fun. We are looking forward to an eventful and successful spring. B EY WAR

In the field of social servi ce, our girls have been especially busy. Before each footb all or basketball game we gave each member of the team a small momento with a boosting slogan on it reminding them that Alph a Tau was behind them all the way. Dming Christm as, we made name cards for trays for people in a local nursing home. For our form al dance on January 6, we chose the theme " Emerald Evening." The ballroom was enclosed in green crepe paper extending from a mirrored ball in the center. On one side was a large Alpha Sigma Tau crest outlined in crepe paper. On the opposite wall was the theme title. Mi ss Katie Frank Slack, D ean of W omen and Mr. and Mrs. Pat Phelps, along with Mrs. H arris and Mrs. Baskin, were present.

That Special

Way of Feeling Upsilon began its fall semester with a lot of hard work since rush was scheduled for the third week of school. W e had held several workshops previously to pl an the best four rush parties ever, and now these plans must be put into action. The first was an ice water tea, to which all rushees were invited and at which we got to have our first real conversation with the incoming freshmen girls. The second party was a preferential tea with cookies and punch served. All displays of sorority awards were presented, along with outstanding members. The third party was our favorite-the one at which we could really 'let our hair down' and be ourselves. This was the theme p arty, and Upsilon's theme was "The Alpha Sigma Tau Gold Rush. " W e all dressed up western style, put on skits, had various talent nwnbers and sang sorority songs. The rushees were served corn dogs and ,potato chips and root beer. The school ballroom came out looking like an authentic saloon. The fourth and last party w as form al. The theme of this was "Alpha Sigma Tau Is a Special Way of Feeling," and it seemed its meaning was truly conveyed, for there wasn't

After rush we held our annual pi e eating contest in which each fr aternity entered two boys to compete for the prize of a gift certificate. W e also sponsored a scholarship award, The Kathleen Bright Award, given to the Football Player with the highest over-all grade point. Janette Lea of Conway and president of Upsilon was awarded the Betty Yotmg Scholarship Award for outstanding scholarship , lead e r ship , a nd se rv ice w ithin th e sorority. Upsilon has proven togetherness. This was outstanding in three fi elds. W e were presented the Red Cross Award for donating more blood than any sorority on campus. Second, we won first place in the float contest fo r beauty dming Hom ecoming W eek. And third and most important to us, we were awarded the Scholarship Tray fo r the third consecutive year, thus enabling us to keep it. This is probably the biggest honor any sorority on cam pus can win. W e had several individual witmers of AST

on the State College Campus. We were very proud of the selection of the Homecoming Royalty, for five of th e six places in the court were held by Alpha Taus. Jane Carter of Fort Smith served as the SCA Hall oween Queen and Paula Matthews of Conway is Phi Lambda Chi's F rate rnity Sweetheart. This year Ann Linneman is captain of the state's only college drill tea m, th e Stepperettes, and Sara Carpenter Johnston serves as the choreographer and Sarah Gordon is the treasurer. Twenty-six of the marching squad are Alpha Taus. Each year the Sigma Tau Gamm a and Phi Lambda C hi fraterniti es play a special football game co mplete with royalty. Alpha Taus reigned ove r the game.

Carolyn F agan is this year's cheerl eader captain, Sherry Edm ondson and Marsha Morrow cheer on the squad. Janette Lea was initi ated into Alph a Chi, an honor fraterni ty . This year as a special service project we visited St. Joseph 's Orphanage at Little Rock. W e sang songs, played games, and had a very good time. W e here at Upsilon feel that this semester has indeed been a very profit able one. W e have enjoyed every minute of it, but mostly we have enjoyed what we think to be the key to our success here at State College of Arkansas: worki ng and living together with th at 'spec ial way of fee li ng.'

The Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College returned to campus this fall full of enthusiasm and anti cipation fo r a successful new semester. Plans made during Summer W orkshops for rush proved to be quite rewarding. Both me mbers and rush ees enjoyed our Formal Tea, "Babes in T au Land" party, and our traditional Yellow Rose Party.

Chi Sponsors "Fast" Th e Chi girls of Shepherd Coll ege are longing for a house of th eir own more than ever. They are tired of meeting in the College Center although it looks like those rooms will have to do for now. Houses are scarce in Shepherdstown and those availabl e are beyond their reach financially. Oh well , there's still hope girls. December was the " Fast for Unicef" month at Shepherd. The Alpha sponsored the drive and approxim ately 500 students participated. These collegians gave up the evening meal, December 11, and the money which was saved on their food was sent to feed the needy in India. The campaign was a great success thanks to the mountains of advance publicity furnished and door to door salesmanship by willing Alph as. The Chi Chapter received a certificate from Unicef commending the Alphas on a job well done. The pledge cl ass of fall '67, alth ough small (4) was one of the best and most memorable groups ever for the Chis. This fearless fou~· some displayed ingenuity and great sport 111 all their activities.

Fall Is Rewarding for Psi Psi Chapter had surprises and loads of activi ties awaiting them when they returned to Madison's campus in the Fall. Th eir most pleasant surprise of all was the news that Dr. Leotus Morrison would be taking over as their new adviser. Psi's biggest and most exciting project was, of course, rush. The theme was again carnival, but this year there were new acts, "real" animals in cages, all kinds of food, and fun galore. Twenty new members were added to the AST sisterhood. The new members were; Marilyn Ardito, Jane Busel, Sally Crickard, Ann Dawson, Bev Harroll, Anna Lagos, Kathleen Lehman, Sherry McGraw, Kathy McKee, Terry McMillan, Cheryl Mallory, Marilyn Meder, Kathy Patton, Sandra Payne, Janie Pickels, Betty Schuler, Trudi Stoltz, Karen Sullivan, Sandra Tribble, and Maggie Willis. And what a wonderful pledge class they were too! Just before Halloween, the pledges gave th e old memb e rs a surprise Halloween party which was a take-off of the third round party they had attended during rush. The Psis both old and new had a wonderful time dancing to the "ASTer Mash" and listening to ghoulish songs. Founders' Day was celebrated on November 4 and a banquet was held on the 6th at Bear Trap Farm . Tributes were paid to ASTers past and present among the quain t collection of antiques and rustic atmosphere of Bear Trap. Psi's Thanksgiving activities included making favors for children in Rockingham Memorial Hospital. Initiation was conducted on December 3. After all the girls were formally initia ted into sisterhood, all ASTers gathered for a suppe r and presentati on of pledge gifts to the sorority, pledge chairm an, and the announ 路em nt of the Top Pledge, Maril n M der.

Before ASTers went home for Christmas vacation, their annual Christmas party for underprivileged children was held. Tree trimming, lots of food and a visit from Santa's helper added to the exci tement. Psi sisters have started two new traditions this year. For the first time Psis have had a candleligh t service for those girls pinned, engaged, or married. Psis have also started Thursday night coffee socials at 10:00 PM for those who wish to take a break from study. Indeed, Psi has had a very busy and rewardi ng semeste r and is looking forward to the ftm to come in the Spring_. BETTIE HALE

Next on the calendar was our first attempt at presenting a style show. The name of the show was "For Apples Sake" and we feel it was a real success and hope to make it an annual affair. As Winter Quarter began the major focus was RUSH. The first weekend consisted of a series of forty-five minute teas in the various suites. The next weekend was our fin al party entitled " Alpha Sigma Tau Garden." It featured an original skit prepared by our sisters, and of course, the traditional rose ceremony. The room was decorated with hw1dreds of yellow roses and th e afternoon was a highlight for all of us as we found ourselves drawn closer together in expectation of our new sisters. The follo wing Friday our high hopes were richly rewarded as we gained twelve new pledges. W e enjoyed our Christmas party with twelve new pledges and then separated for a while as we went home fo r vacati on. Soon we were back on campus and ready for more activity. Many honors have been coming to our chapter. Janet Piner and Carol Harader are now members of the Home Economi cs H on o r a ry Phi Up sil o n Omic ro n .

"Bugs" Captures Trophy

F all Quarter of 1967 shall be recorded as successful for the Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Spirit was the key word and rush was the first major event of the term . Our enthusiasm was well rewarded as we welcomed ten outstanding pledges into our sisterhood . The Alpha T aus of Adams Street next turned their attention to H omecoming. The campus wide theme was "Comic Capers" and our Leathernecks were scheduled to meet the Illinois State Cardinals on the gridiron . Bugs Bunny and th e slogan, "That's All Folks!" was our theme for house decoration competition. W e were paired with the men of Theta Xi fraternity to build a float. A very suave Beetl e Bailey and tank was the outcome. Several work exchanges were scheduled, but without the dedicated assistance of our Sig Tau brothers the ASTs would never have made the deadline.

Motors were secured for Bugs' thumping feet. His body and the complete backdro p were stuffed with bright colored crepe paper.

A few last minute touches and he was ready for the scrutinization of the judges. W e sat with fingers crossed waiting for the judges' decision. Our efforts were rewarded when at half time the First Place trophy was awarded to the women of Alpha Sigma Tau! How sweet was the taste of victory! It made those harried days and nights of work worthwhile to all of us-and that new trophy looks great in our den! The annual Founders' D ay Banquet was held in the University Union. As alwa s, the most impressive part of the ceremony was the -!5

candlelighting. This seems to remind each of us of the purpose and meaning of AST. At the quarter, Christmas spirit was evident in all our activities. Our pledges gave the active chapter a real surprise when at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning, they woke and brought each of us, including those from the dorms, dressed in p.j.'s, to the house for a Christmas Party. With our eyes only half open we grumbled and growled until we realized what they were up to. Santa Claus cheered us and gave humorous gifts to the pledge moms. Coffee and donuts were served after which everybody went home AND back to sleep! Our advisor, Helen Buckley, opened the doors of her new home to us for an allchapter Christmas Party. Candlelight, carols, a gift exchange and the heart-warming entertainment of our pledges, brought misty eyes and a renewed faith in the spirit of Christmas. The quarter closed on a high note as we caroled with the Theta Xis at the local Old Folks Home. Along with the start of the new year come our resolutions ... to make 1968 the best year yet, and to make that dream of a new house for Alpha Epsilon come true.

Happy-as we pick up pledges.

A !ph a Zeta Goes Continental Before settling down to their books and to the Fall rushing activities, the sisters of Alpha Zeta Chapter took a pre-semester trip to Clarence Farnstock State Park in Carmel, New York where we enjoyed an exhilarating day of hiking, picnicking, and even singing. Then it was back to Queens and to the F all rush season. Following the Yellow Rose Rush, which was given on campus, we held an informal Carnival rush, com plete with a fortunetell er, a handwriting analyst, and a balloonshav ing contest. There was plenty of fresh popcorn, candy, and soda at this very festive

occasion. Inspired by the French. our third and final rush was "Cafe la Alpha!" Modelled on the Parisian sidewalk cafes, this rush included a French menu, a lot of French songs, and even a miniature Eiffel T ower! After the busy days of ru hing were past , Alpha Zetas turned their attention to giving a tea for the female foreign students tud ina this year at Queens.

Zeta sent two of their members to the Leadership Awareness Conference, held in Pawling, New ~o~k. Sponsored annually by the Student Assoc1atwn, this retreat attempts to bring students ~loser toge ther so that they might hear new 1deas and experience new activities. Both ~isters fotmd it to be a truly rewarding expen ence. Christm as was also an active period for AST at Queens College. The Panhellenic Pledge Cotillion, given the day after Christmas, was a highlight of the season. After a pr~-party at the home of a sister, the couples enjoyed a delicious full course dinner at the Huntington Town H ouse, where the Cotillion was held. Also during Christmas W eek we held our annual Christmas Pajama party. The first week in D ece mber each sister was given the name of another sister to whom she would be a Secret Santa. Then, trying to keep her identity a secret, she would bestow small gifts and cards on that siste r until the night of the party, at which time the Secret Santas were revealed. After much laughter and many surprises over the identity of the Santas, we enjoyed many hours of eating lasagna, singing to the accompanim ent of a Spanish guitar and getting very littl e sleep. W e are proud that the sisters of Alpha Ze ta shine in scholarship as well as in sisterhood. W e are most proud of Barbara Wolf who was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and of Phyllis and Nancy Rosati who were elected to the French Honor Society. Our sincerest congratul ations to these sisters.

Enthusiasm High for Alpha Etas The Alpha Etas returned to the Alma College Campus this fall, after an exciting and rewarding summer, in anticipation of just as successful a year at school. Our enthusiasm was heightened by several new additions to the sorority room. W alnut paneling and curtains were given to us by the parents of two members. It really makes our roo m look special, and we are most appreciative of these lovely gifts. We have been coll ecting trading stamps and hope to use them to make more improvements on our room. W e were also very proud to wear our new so rority outfits this fall. They are dark green A-line jumpers, which we made, and long-sleeved yell ow blouses monoO"rammed AST. b Fall rush gave us six new pledges who soon became known as the Sole Sister Six.

Fly with Alpha Theta Fall at the University of D etroit meant a full calendar for Alpha Theta. At the beginning of the term, Alpha Theta caught th e "Jugfest" spirit of Fall Carnival. AST invited the midway folk to visit Dogpatch and play the Silver Dollar game with Li'l Abner. Carny booth chairman, Kathy Horan, was also a finali st for Carny Queen. Without a change of pace, th e Chapter joined in the activities of October's Greek W eek. AST participated in the games and ran Dianne Brent for Greek Queen. But, the key event of the week was the talent show, and the spotlight shined on Alpha Theta. Due to the musical talent of guitar-pl aying Carolyn Myers, the vocal coaching of Rita Spychalski and the effort of the members, Alpha Theta flew off with the top trophy. Using a trave l theme , Alpha Th e t a to o k th e audience " Around the World with AST. " Flying united, Alpha Thetas sang a medl ey of foreignlanguage songs. Costumes c reativ~l y gea1:ed to the countries visited added an 1mpress1ve atmosphere to the program. , Off campus, for a mom ent, Novembers highlight was the Chapter's celebration of Founders' Day. Members and Alumnae gathered at D etroit's Mauna Loa where they enjoyed Polynesian deli cacies and musical ANCHOR

entertai nm ent. Special guest at the affair was Elinor K. Rose who spoke on publicity and then charm ed the audi ence with so me of her poetry. D ecember was fill ed with the holiday bustle of hen parti es and a Christmas date party . Once again, Alpha Th eta helped with the Christmas Basket Drive, sponsored by U. of D .'s Women's League. Chairm an, Kathy Horan, was proud to announce th at AST topped all contributors. D espit e a busy sch ed ul e, Alph a Th eta paused to welcome five new members. Incidentally, at their pl edge party, our newest sisters crowned Connie Schechter, " Sweetheart," and Mary Jo Burke, "Sweet-tart.'' Continuing this leisurely trend, Ginny Bujno, Mary Jo Burke, Carolyn Myers, Rita Spychalski and Geni Zepeda journeyed to Chicago fo r a weekend of fun. Carolyn returned home with an extravagant fuchsia- ruffl ed paper dress from Old Town. Individually, members brought honor to Alph a Theta. Ann Bobryk was inducted into Alpha Epsilon Delta, international premedical honor society, and Sue Rahaley joined U. of D.'s Honors Program. Kathy Serracino became Alpha Theta's new alumnae representative. In January, our Chapter began the rush tea season with an AST Travelogue planned by Rosemari e Sandel and Connie Rzonca. Dianne Brent and Kathy Horan created a Little Red Schoolhouse, where members and rushees played "AST Show and Tell" am id an array of stuffed animals, littl e girl dresses and lollipops. Mary Eve Kopytek and Ann Olejarczyk used a colored strobe light and incense to carry their guests to the happy, hippy world of Tau Espresso. Rushees and members, laden with pop-poppies and glassy beads, listened intently to flower poetry and bongo . The climax of formal rush was Sue Zakrzewski's Yellow Rose Tea. With the com ing of F ebruary, Alph a Theta began to prepare their marching display for Mardi Gras and nominated royalty candidates: Rosemarie Sandel and Ron D emkowski . The approach of Mother-D aughter Communion Breakfast and Dinner D ance guaranteed that Alpha Theta would continue to be happy and busy. MARY EvE KoPYTEK -!9

Alpha Kappas Are First in Scholarship The women's Scholarship Trophy at Marietta College is now at the AST house. The Alpha Kappas greeted the winning announcement at MC's Fall Convocation with screaming excitement. This cup is awarded to one of the six sororities or independent women 's group with the highest scholastic average (on a 3.0 grading system). In other scholarship achievements, the ASTs took 38 places on Dean's List, three of those places belonged to members with perfect 3.0 averages: Ellen Charske, Barbara Kopp Mitchell and Louise Stephenson. In October, Cheryl Ward charmed the MC men at the Always Sleep Tight Pajama Factory in the Homecoming serenade presentation of "Pajama Game." In spite of a rain that threatened he r perform ance, Cheryl sang "Seven and A Half Cents," and ''I'm ot At All In Love" and danced to " Hernando's Hideaway." In another phase of activity the AKs have taken a bigger role in social service. Inspired by a previous big-little sister project and the policy at MC to " Make Hell Week-Help W eek" the pledges adopted an 8 year old American Indian girl from New Mexico, Bernice Skeet. Since their activation, the whole chapter had continued to sponsor Bernice. Her fri end, Betty D avis is sponsored by AK's Jeanne De Prefont aine, atalie Jones, Teresa Mercurio and Patricia appi. In Bernice's letters she tells us of her boarding school and life at home and responds gratefull y to our gifts and letters. She writes, "Dear Sisters of Alpha Sigma T au, I have three sisters and a brother. At home I herd sheep and I sweep the fl oor for my mother. At home I do not get mail because we are too far out.

We knew Santa would make it to the AST Christmas Party.

Alpha Lambda Begins Candlelight Service The Alpha Lambdas at Radford College began the fall quarter with much gaiety and enthusiasm . Preparation for rush was the first and major event to be considered. We first had an open house for all the girls interested in sorority life and then the festivities began. Our first rush party was Fies-Tau. All the members dressed as Mexicans and the room was gaily deco~ated with sombreros, maracas, and pinatas. Some of the girls performed in a skit about Fernando the Bull. After the entertainment we had Mexican refreshments for everyone. As the rushees left they were well supplied with favors such as maracas made of papier-mache, little glasses which looked like sombreros and candy from the pinatas. The next week the theme of our rush party was Sleepy Time Tau. This is a tradition with the Alpha Lambdas and we even have a special song and skit for just this one night. Everyone was dressed in granny gowns. We had teddy ANCHOR

bears and dolls for favors. For refreshments we had hot cocoa and doughnuts which were just perfect for the occasion. Everyone really worked hard during those three weeks, but it paid off in many ways. The sorority worked closely together and we now have seventeen wonderful new pledges. Also to add to our list we have four new members who were initiated in October. On November 2 the Alpha Lambda sisters went to the Farm House for our Founders' Day Banquet. After a very enjoyable meal, Dr. Barker, Vice President of Radford, spoke to us about sororities in general. After this we had a candlelight ceremony at which time Miss Daniels, our former advisor and Dr. Silverman, a professor in English, left us with a challenge for the future. It was a very inspiring evening for everyone. Just before we left for Christmas vacation, the pledges gave the sisters a Christmas part .

There was a lot of hard work put into it, and it was appreciated and enjoyed by all. Recently our Chapter began a traditional candlelight service for all girls receiving lavalieres, pins or engagement rings. As a candle is passed the girl who has received one of these treasures blows it out and then is congratulated by the sorority. It is all kept a secret and your sisters are the first to know of your good fortune. After Christmas we had several girls who received sparkling diamonds. Congratulations Girls! Already this year many honors have come to the Taus of the Alpha Lambda Chapter. Several of our sisters are junior residents in freshman dorms: Anita Holm, Cheri Johnson, Kay McConnell, and Margaret Minter. During October Student Government elections were held and Cheri Johnson is President for 196869 and Mary Kay Shea is Secretary-Treasurer. We have several class officers. Those from the Senior Class are Page Grumbles and Betty

Alpha Mu Helps Organize Panhellenic The Fall Semester of 1967 promised an exciting and eventful year for Alpha Mu. This semester the sororities on the A&M campus joined Panhellenic. Mrs. Malone came to our firs t Panhellenic meeting to explain the new rules and regulations. W e agreed to give open bids and have only one rush season a year. We found the rules on rush to be a little different. In October we had a Panhellenic Tea at which all girls eligible for bids were present. W e received six pledges by open bidding. After ten busy weeks of pledging LaVerne Gray was elected best pledge. Linda Nixon had the best anchor, and Katie McH an had the best book. W e worked with our broth ers, the Sigma Tau Gammas, on a homecoming display. W e won second place with the theme, "Exp ecting a Victory." Alpha Mu tried some new ideas for money

making projects. To add to the school spirit and enthusiasm, we raffl ed a huge stuffed tiger at our football game against the Ouachita Tigers. W e have had car washes and have sold Christm as candles. The biggest and most successful money making event was our UMOC (Ugliest Man On Campus) contest. Each cam pus organization was asked to sponsor one boy in the contest. Each of these boys dressed in the most ridicul ous costume possible and developed a skit using their undeveloped talents. Three of the faculty members were judges, and th boys were given points for their lack of good looks, poise, personality, and talents. Jimm Dickerson received thi coveted title. \\ were able to keep the who! campus in u pense about UMOC until the cont t. \\ plagu ed the campus ' ith ign ''\\ h路 t i UMOC?" "Look for UMO !" 'N HOR

everyone's curiosity and drew a large crowd the night of the contest. The Alpha Taus and the Sig Taus held their annual Christmas Formal December 9, 1967, featuring "Taus in Toyland. " The Alpha Taus worked closely with their brothers to make this the biggest event of the se mester. The sidewalk leading to the entrance was lined with large lollipops and candy canes, and the door was guarded by two li fe-size toy soldiers. This was a very memorable night for all of us. The Alpha Taus received many honors and titles this semester and among some of them are: Vicki Tuberville, Miss Arkansas A&M; Joye Stephenson tapped by the Countesses, a women 's service organization ; Phyllis Chesser, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities; Vicki Tuberville, District Forestry Queen; Judy Socia and Vicki Tuberville, homecoming maids. Alpha Mu found this past semester a busy and happy one, and we are looking forward to an exciting Spring Semeste r.

Ambush perfume was our theme and Diana Covey was om beautiful homecoming queen candidate. All of us worked hard to perfect om convo skit and make our float as artistic and colorful as possible. We have decided to let "start early" be our motto this year, and so we have already set up our hom ecom ing committees for next year. This fall also brought a formal initiation into Alpha Sigma Tau of ten pledges from

the Spring 1967 pledge class. Those initiated were Mari lyn Bryant, Mary Clerc, Ruth Cornwell, Janice Grechus, Doris Kirchner, Patt Klyg, Marty Mitchell, Gayle Nicholas, Margie Oliver, and Marianne Turner. The afternoon of their initi ation, Friday, October 27 the pledges presented the acti ves with their pledge songs. Marty Mitchell and Patty Klug were both elected as "Best Pl edge" of their class. W e were particul arly happy to see this pledcre class go active as they were always "borro\ ing" and hiding objects owned by actives. The pledges gave the sorority a beautihu record cabinet to go with our new stereo.

Work can be fun.

The float is ready to go-almost.

Formal Rush was held at the beginning of our winter term , Nov. 27 through December 2. All of us enjoyed meeting approximately 265 girls, mainly freshmen . But all sighed a huge sigh of relief when we could get a good night's sleep again. Through formal and informal rush this year we have pledged Linda Craig, Nancy Gower, Esther Wood, Rosemary Scholl, and Judy Zaun. We are all looking forward to getting more wonderful pledges before the year is over. This fall Alpha Nu won the volleyball trophy for our sorority intramurals for the second year in a row . We are now trying to secure the basketball trophy. So far we have a 2-0 record. Last year we came in second, so this year we're shooting for first. Christmas for Alpha Nu was both profitable and fun. We had several caroling parties around the fire and decorated a beautiful tree, donated by Mrs. Brookshire, Mrs. Hop-

kins and Miss Egleston, our sponsors. It was decorated in the old-fashioned style with popcom and cranberries. Each year we draw names for a Secret Santa. As Secret Santa's we get small gifts and play tricks on the person whose name we draw. This year instead of giving gifts to each other, we formed small groups and gave gifts to the sorority. We received everything from kitchen utensils to footstools. Many members of AST have been recognized for their achievements at CMSC. Marty Mitchell is a member of both AWS and the Student Union Cabinet. She has helped initiate such things as a paperback book exhibit and a Casino Las Vegas party to get money to purchase records for the Union listening room. Through AWS , Marty has been writing 12 service men in Viet Nam (the rest of us have been helping). Mary Clerc, Marianne Smith and Linda Stallings are members of the SGA. With their help the Student Government Association is bringing "Paul Revere and the Raiders" to CMSC for a concert. Marianne is also a member of the CMSC A Cappella Choir and Madrigal Singers, both groups go on tour in Missouri during the spring. Mary Miller appeared in the fall all-school play, Ionesco's "Rhinoceros" and is now in rehearsals for the winter production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This Fall Marilyn Bryant, Ruth Cornwell, Arlene Guidali, Judy Leeper, and Esther Wood were initiated into D elta Psi Kappa, the National Women's Physical Education fraternity. Linda Craig, Linda Hammitt, and Ema Schmidt were already members. Judy Leeper is a member of CWE S, a scholastic sophomore girls fraternity, and was on the Dean's Honor Roll fall term. Carol Trautwein and Esther Wood are members of Dolphins, the CMSC Synchronized swim club. Ruth Cornwell, Judy Leeper and Marilyn Bryant were the fall , winter, and spring Acacia Calendar girls. The future holds an equally busy time for AST. Alpha Nu is now scouting for both new spring and winter outfits. UMOC, Ugly Man on Campus, is coming. Marilyn Bryant is our candidate for Beauty Queen. Alpha Nu will be in charge of a booth which is a part of UMOC to raise money for the charity of the group's choice. There will be more rushincr more money-making projects and most of all, more hm for all.

Fall Filled with Activities f or Alpha Xi Sisters Fall semester began with a rush of activities for the Alpha Xis of Mansfield State College. The first week of school found the sisters at a reception held in their honor by their brother fraternity, Phi Sigma Epsilon. Less than two weeks later the sisters were once again honored, this time by the Panhellenic Council, for Alpha Sigma Tau won the scholarship cup for the third consecutive time. Winning for the third time gave the sisters permanent possession of the treasured gold loving cup. Homecoming W eek-end found the sisters working diligently on their float. King Neptune, and preparing for their annual alwnnae tea. Once again Alpha Sigma Tau was represented on the Homecoming Court by Sandy Ard (President) and Judy Gesey (Editor). After the Homecoming events were over, the sisters concentrated all their efforts on informal rush. In keeping with a Halloween theme, the " Pumpkin House" was a great success for it opened its doors to seven new Alpha Sigma Tau pledges. On October 21 , State D ay was held at Indiana State University (D elta Chapter) and the Alpha Xis were represented by their two advisers, Miss Ruth Billings and Mrs. Edith Hunsicker and the nine sorority officers. The day was a complete success for our representa-

Greek W eek-end at MSC kept the sisters busy preparing and participating in the Olympic Games. At the all-Greek dance, top honors for Alpha Sigma Tau went to Carol Filemyr, chosen as the Outstanding Greek by the sorority. A well-deserved winner, Carol served as the sorority vice-president and the social chairman for 1966-1967 and she was chosen as a Top Tau nominee this fall. She was elected to Who's Who and is also a member of Kappa Omicron Phi, the honorary home economics sorority on campus. On November 4, Founders' Day, the Alpha Xi chapter invited the Zetas of Lock H aven to MSC. In the afternoon the sisters compared notes on AST life while enjoying a skit and tea and in the evening the two chapters traveled to Penn W ells for a celebration banquet. As banquet favors, each sistedrom Zeta Chapter was presented with a yellow rose. Also during November, the sisters presented "Fling into Fashion" for the Mansfi eld campus. Sisters and pledges modeled fall and winter fashions, compliments of the Hutch and Dunhams. Admission was free, refreshments were served, and door prizes were given. Our chapter thought it was a huge success. D ecember was also a busy month for Alpha Xi. Practice for the annual Grecian Sing kept the sisters busy for the first few weeks but all the efforts proved rewarding when AST re-

ceived third place. This was our chapter's lucky week because we also won first place for our lounge decorations which depicted the warmth of home at Christmas. In the midst of this holiday atmosphere, the sisters held their annual Christmas party. Stockings were exchanged; it was a joyous occasion for all. The semester was a happy and fun-filled one for the Alpha Xis who are now eagerly awaiting the rush of spring activiti es.

Peanuts Captures Seventeen

Stagecoach float takes second place trophy.

Officers and junior attendant practice smiles for Clarion's Homecoming Parade.

An exciting fall semester kept everyone in Alph a Omicron Chapter busy working on coming events. As the semester opened, we began work on our float for the Homecoming parade, an important part of the Autumn Leaf Festival at Clarion . Because this was Clarion's centennial year, the theme of the parade was "One Hundred Years of Education." We set to work building a stagecoach to be pulled by two Missouri Mules, depicting the days when commuters came to Clarion by stagecoach. Our efforts brought us a second place trophy for the sorority division . Homecoming was even more exciting whe n we discovered that two of our sisters were elected as homecoming attendants. Laura Williams represented us as a }w1ior Attendant and Joanne H enry represented us as a Senior Attendant. We hardly had time to get over the excitement of Homecoming when ru h season was upon us. The Tau suite began fillincr up with everything from Peanuts poster to ski equipment, including a fireplace. Our Ru h Chairman Carol Peters did a great job in plannincr and everyone enjoyed the preparation . t our parti es, we learned that workshop pa ff. Our Informal Part onsisted of a ki party at "Tau hal t." The atmospher w 路~ p rf t, from ca.ndl light to firepla e to ntertainm nt. Winter ongs, doughnut and h t h

Day. Ideas and songs were exchanged, some are being used in our spring rush. Everyone who attended was impressed with the fac t that the bonds of sisterhood in Alpha Sigma Tau are not limited to one chapter, we were all true sisters. Alpha Pi at Slippery Rock will host next year's Pennsylvania State Da . Miss Perrin, Dean of Women and Mis Natali, assistant Dean of Women were our guests at our Fotmders' Day Tea. There wa

an informal hour of conversation ending with a candlelighting ceremony. Alpha Pi did very well in contests during Greek Week. The eight sororities at Slippery Rock combined, four against four, in a Powder Puff Football Game played in three inches of snow. Alpha Sigma Tau was a member of the winning team and received a trophy. There were nine gi rl s in our informal pledge class in the fall. A real fine group. Alpha Sigma Tau and Kappa Delta held a combined Christmas Formal at the Pittsburgh Hilton on December second. This was the first combined sorority affair of this type. W e hope this will be a step toward greater intersorority unity at Slippery Rock. The few 路 weeks before Christmas vacation were busy and exciting ones for the Taus at Slippery Rock. Linda Carson was chosen as

Heart Fund Queen in a contest sponsored by Delta Psi Kappa. She made a lovely queen. Kappa Delta sponsored a Christmas Tree decorating contest which Alpha Sigma Tau won. The tree was green with gold ornaments, a perfect combination. We have a new advisor at Slippery Rock. Mrs. Mary Fox, a housemother at Towers Hall. Her son is a faculty member in the psychology department. We welcome Mrs. Fox as our advisor, she will be a big help when we organize future sorority affairs. Formal rush has just started here at Slipp ery Rock. Everyone has been bu y making party decorations, favors and name tags. After these two hectic weeks, pledges and their pledge duties will be a welcome relief. VI C KIE

W e started in Chinatown then proceeded to Greenwich Village for a hootenanny complete with flowers, sorors incognito as hippies, and pizza, the sorority staple. We ended at our Columbia rush with forty-five harried sorors, two rush chairmen displaying manic-depressive tendencies, and forty-two smashing pledges: Barbara Alderman, Ilene Ancell, Sue Berger, Wendy Cohen, Sheila Doyshen, Nikki Eagle, Rebecca Feller, Claire Feuer, Shelley Goldstein, Michele Grazi, Sharon Breenberg, Renee Greenspan, Judy H effler, Rita Kikelin, Marsha lves, Ellen Kushner, Caryn Lauber, Shell ey Lazar, Pamela Montague, Robin Neiderfer, Bea Nissensohn, Judy Rabinow, Renee Regenstein, Joan Rosen, Jill Schaier, Karen Schneps, Miriam Seiden, Barbara Seiderman, Penny Seidman, Barbara Selkowitz, Esta-Dara Shulman, Lydia Soifer, Roz Steckel, Barbara Strassman, Molly Steinberg, heil a Steinberg, Naomi Teppich, Ellen Vertlieb, Mar ia W in-

Friday evening the ribbon pinning ceremony was held and the pledges received their "mothers" although in some cases the " mothers" were yotmger than their "daughters." Later we h ad an open house at the sorority and the pledges got their first taste of fraternal life.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ALUMNAE

ALPHA SIGMA TAU LOOKS TO THE FUTURE

Each year as the school路 year closes, our collegiates begin thinking of the fall rush season to come when they must pledge outstanding girls to take the place of graduating seniors. Rushing is the means of perpetuating Alpha Sigma Tau through intelligent and diligent selection of new members. Rushing must be a cooperative project between alumnae and collegiates. It is the responsibility of the collegiates to organize the best rush possible and the final selection of members rests with them. But what of the role of the alumnae in membership selection? Only by wholehearted cooperation between alumnae and collegiates do we know and rush the best prospects for membership in Alpha Sigma Tau. It is the role of the alumnae to recommend voluntmily the outstanding girls in their communities so that the chapters will have the top girls for their ultimate selection. Many schools have a comparatively small ANCH OR

number of rushees and thus the chapters can rush every girl recommended to them. This, of course, is the ideal situation. However, with increasing college enrollments, a larger number of girls desiring sorority membership makes recommendations even more important in screening those girls who will be the most desirable pledges of Alpha Sigma Tau. In the final analysis, the choice of new members rests with the collegiate chapter members and their advisers. If we all cooperate in this important phase of activity, we will be sure that our pledges next fall will be the chapter and sorority leaders of the future . Let's pick strong links, for in the chain alone rests the power of the ANCHOR. SEND YOUR VOLUNTARY RECOMMENDATIONS NOW FOR POTENTIAL ALPHA SICS-OUR LEADERS OF THE FUTURE! CARoLYN CoNNER ALEXANDER NATIONAL RusH CHAIRMAN

. .. Lifeline to Alpha Sigma Tau Recommendations from alumnae form the basis for the life and blood for Alpha Sigma Tau. The collegiate chapters, guided by their advisers, may invite to membership only those candidates for whom a valid recommendation has been made. Thus membership selection requires cooperative action - the alumnae recommendthe collegiates select. The following list some reminders to alumnae in carrying through on recommendations : 1. Please give prompt and careful attention to the collegiate chapter requests for recommendations. 2. Freshmen rushing varies from very early fall, to winter, to spring. Upperclassmen may often be rushed at any time during the college year. Do not wait for a request from the collegiates. Voluntary recommendations should be sent now to rush chairmen. 3. T oday's expanding college enrollments mean longer rush lists and larger rush parties. Many College Panhellenics require both the rushees and the chapters cut their lists, per party. Our collegiates must depend on your detailed informative recommendations in order to prepare their invitation lists. 4. Make membership selection personal. If local rushing rules permit, make an effort to contact your prospective rushees before they leave for college. 5. Our collegiates are famous for their cordiality and friendliness . They study your early voluntary recommendations so that the already "know" the rushees when they attend the first Alpha Sigma Tau rush party. 6. You are proud of your sorority membership-show that Alpha Sigma Tau pride to our prospe ti m mbers.

BATON ROUGE Plans For AST National Convention "Convention" is the theme of our meetings this year! The Baton Rouge Alumnae began its fall meetings in August at the home of Mrs. Marjorie Langsdorf. At this time we initiated three new members-Linda Jackson, Ann Poole, and Zorraine W aguespack.

The September and October meetmgs were attended by only a few; and were informal evenings of chatting, refreshments, and building excitement about convention. Our group is small (we lost two members), but ambitious! We set out to sell Duncan Hines Fruit Cakes for the holiday season and were quite successful. We added our profit to the convention fund. In November, Priscilla Laurie, Linda Jackson and I met with the New Orleans Alumnae and the Phi Chapter to celebrate Founders' Day. We were delighted with the program the girls had planned. Th e trip back home was full of talk of memories of when we were collegiates. Both the December and January meetings, held at the hom es of Priscilla Laurie and Ann Petras, were turned to talk of convention. We are gathering ideas in order to begin work on convention projects. The Baton Rouge Alumnae are looking forw ard to seeing all of you in New Orleans this August. We will miss those of you who will be w1able to attend. NoY STRI CKLAND

BLUEFIELD Proud of Marc ellaAlumna of Year The Bluefield Alumnae Chapter started its new year with the annual family picnic in August. Dr. and Mrs. Meade McNiell of Athens, West Virginia were guests for the event. Everyone enjoyed good food in the beautiful out-of-doors. A bouquet to our own Marcella Dee Whitlock for having been named 1967 Alwnna of the Year at Concord College. Marcella has served on the college Alumni board of directors for several years. While at Concord College she was active in the collegiate chapter, and has served in every capacity of our chapter. She is presently serving as National Alumna e Re presenta tive Adviser to Omicron Chapter. 65

In September we were dinner guests of the McNiell's of Athens. Bula, our gracious hostess served a most delicious dinner, after which we had a good meeting. We were delighted to see Mae R. Hunter at the meeting. In October we welcomed back Jane Patsel who had been away for a year. Also, we welcomed a new member, Louise Bailey. We are glad to have these girls with us. Our yearly Thanksgiving dinner was at the beautiful home of President, Mary Ruth McClung. This is a carry-in affair and we have husbands and friends as guests. The food and fellowship made for a fine evening. Our thanks to a gracious hostess for a most enjoyable evening. December is the month we set aside to wrap gifts for a child for Christmas. This year the gifts made a little girl very happy. When winter comes in Bluefield, it really comes, so our January meeting was cancelled. We are looking forward to other meetings as we have lots of things planned. LORENE

BUFFALO Welcomes Five New Sisters Eunice Pundt was hostess at a picnic supper for the board members in August. Her lovely summer home in South Wales was a delightful place to complete our program plans for the com ing year. In September, we enjoyed a pot-luck picnic at the home of Kay Baxter's brother in Kenmore. Each girl brought a delicious dish and the result was a wonderful smorgasbord for all. Here we had a sneak preview of the year's program and a chance to catch up on everyone's summer activities. Lucile Steen was hostess for our October dessert meeting. We all enjoyed the beautiful and interesting slides of her recent trip to South America. Members brought nylon stockings and hobby articles for the West Seneca State School for the Retarded. Mari lyn Helmrath entertained the board m mbers later in October.

DENVER Delivers Gifts to Nu Chapter After being separated during the summer, it was good to see so many of our sisters at the first luncheon meeting in September. This was held at the Howard Johnson Motel and was co-hostessed by Margaret Troisi and Lavonne Carlton. Thanks to Betty Englen, we enjoyed seeing a film on communications produced by Bell Telephone. Our own communication was enriched by catching up on the news of summer vacation trips, weddings, and schools attended. We were all saddened this summer when Marianne Pulliam's husband was killed in an auto accident. Our symp athies and thoughts are with her as she makes the necessary adjustments. Instead of a regular meeting in October, seven Denverites journeyed to Greeley to attend the Homecoming festivities. They also had luncheon at The Hut prior to the game. November found us gathered for our Founders' D ay ceremonies at the home of Marianne Lamberty. She was helped in the luncheon preparation by Ann Todd and Evelyn Gustaphson. The food was delicious, and the candlelighting ceremony was inspiring, as always. Our traditional Christmas meeting moved to a new location this time, since Verna Page had been trying to shake off the flu bug, but we were glad that Verna could help Cherie Clark as co-hostess. As everyone discussed how far behind they were in shopping, Cherie calmly remarked that she had been all ready for quite a while and could thus relax and enjoy the fun of Christmas. We all enjoyed exchanging gifts, and thus ended our activities for 1967. The meeting in January was held at the home of Betty Englen. She had invited everyone to come prepared to ride horses if the weather permitted. I was not able to be there, but I understand that no one took advantage of Betty's offer. Too old ... or too cold? Verna Page deserves a huge vote of thanks for her help with Nu Chapter. She made many trips to Greeley, and delivered to the actives our gifts of a new coffee maker, waste baskets, and other items. We hope that our small 67

efforts help to make things a little easier for the girls at esc. Those of you who are only reading about our meetings instead of sharing them with us should plan to join us as soon as possible. We promise you good food, scintillating conversation, and a chance to find out what your sisters have been doing lately. See you soon, we hope. ELEANOR

DETROIT I Makes Hand Puppets for Hospital

which has been inactive for four year . We now look forward to their initiation soon. The Christmas Party was a gala affair with exchange of gifts at the home of Mar ha Ewart. Our president, Kathleen Monticello, hostessed our January meeting where we made plans for our February Dinner-Dance at Farmington Cotmtry Club and a Telephone Bridge Party in March as a social se rvice project. This year, of course, the annual June hmcheon will not be our fin al affair, since the usual delegation of Detroit I's are planning on an August trip to New Orleans. JuANITA BouFFARD

DETROIT III Mourns Loss of Friend

Detroit I Exchanges Christmas Greetings And Gifts

The Detroit Alumnae Fall activities opened with what has become an alm ost traditional meeting in September at the Alumni House of Wayne State University with hostesses Marlowe Franko and Mi ldred Cislo. October found the group at the home of Hila Collins making hand puppets for Children's Hospital under the direction of our Social Service Chairman, Barbara D avis. Founders' Day was pleasantly enjoyed with the Detroit III Alumnae and Alph a Theta Chapter at the Mauna Loa Restaurant, famous for Polynesian foods. Our chairman, Ellenjane Soltesz, arranged for poetess, El eanor K. Rose, to speak to the groups. The highlight of the Fall session was our participation in the November 19 pledging of th e Theta Co lony, Wayne .S tat Universit ,

In September, Detroit III Alumnae met at Rosie Stansberry's home for a business meeting. After business was com pleted, we enjoyed Rosie's delicious pie and one another's news of summer activities. A wig demonstration by Alexander's was featured at our October meeting for which Kathy Ceru served as hostess. The demonstration began with an explanation of the history of wigs, thei r construction and care, and the relative quality of various types. We moved from theory to practice, however, when s~v颅 eral members who had been chosen as models showed us their new looks. We joined the Detroit I Alumnae and Alpha Theta collegiates in celebrating Founders' Day on November 4 with a luncheon at the Mauna Loa, a new Polynesian rest auran t whose enchanting, authentic decor can almo t conjure up South Sea breezes in ovember. In this appropri ate atmosphere the Alpha Theta collegiates conducted u on a musical trip around the world. They pre nted the musical skit which had won them first place in the Greek Sing at the Universit of D troit. r s 路lr faElinor K.

Jean Wersching was hostess at the D ecember meeting. At that meeting we pl anned events for the second half of the year. Our January business meeting was held at the University of Detroit. At that time many of us learned of the death of Dr. Jose Espinosa, the husband of our Alpha Theta Adviser, Julia Espinosa. Dr. Espinosa is fondl y reme mbered not only by those of the alumnae who were his students in Spanish courses at the University of D etroit but by all of us who experienced his graciousness.

EMPORIA H as Inspirational Founders' Day November found the Emporia Ahunnae Chapter entering into the Founders' Day celebration at the new chapter house with the collegiates. Reverend Williams, father of one of our collegiate members, gave the address. The program was an enjoyable and impressive one. Our Christmas p arty was held at the home of one of our long time and faithful members, Ethel Partridge. She was assisted by Burnice Ace in a truly nice party. Since our numbers are few, we are hoping many of our collegiate members' mothers will join our group so our endeavor to aid the girls in many of their projects can be realized. MARY STAU FFE R

FLINT Plans Michigan State Day Program As the end of 1967 drew to a cl ose we thought of old fri ends, our sisters throughout the land, and wondered what the past year had brought to them? Ours was happy and sad, hectic and slow, but a year never to be forgotten. For a tim e we had many members absent due to the current illnesses. But in b alance we also gained some new members in our chapter. W e had a very successful rummage sale, and we had some members distinguish themselves during the year. Our Pr es id e nt , Bar ba ra Bec ke rs, who teaches at St. Michael's was the adviser of a n awa rd-winnin g yea r b oo k . Th e Michaelian won the top award given by the University of Detroit. Books from nine states were entered in the competition. Mrs. Verna Newman was also active this past year. She and her family were participants in the opera, "The Nutcracker Suite," presented in Flint during the Christm as holidays. Our regular activities included a Septembe r meeting at the home of our President, Barbara Beckers. Our program included a most interesting talk on her trip north, with a stop at our sister's, Gwen Frostic, printing establishment-Prescraft Papers. Her cards, notes and books are not only beautiful but their simplicity lends a tranquil and knowledgeable message which enriches all the lives which come in contact with them. October brought a fall dessert at the home of Joanne Beckwith. W e had a wonderful demonstration of Japanese fl owe r arranging presented by Mrs. George Clander of the Mott Program. Plans for a Founders' D ay observance were discussed. A State D ay was also proposed . It would be held May 4, 1968 on the Alma College campus. The Flint Alum nae Chapter would act as the sponsors and the Alph a Eta and Beta chapters would act as the hostesses. In November, we had a potluck at the home of Marilyn Chapm an. Fotmders' D ay was observed with a candl elighting ceremon . W e also had an initiation of new members. W e are proud to have the following new 69

members: Miss Marilyn Chapman, (Mrs. Louis), Miss Carol Goecker, Miss Nancy Gratsch, (Mrs. Nelson), Leah Green, Miss Suzanne Mitchell, and Nancy Troesken (Mrs. William); and we welcomed them. In December we had a Christmas party at the home of Carol Goecker. Mrs. Fred Howes, who was recovering from severe burns, made her holiday specialty, plum pudding, to add to the festivities. A basket for a less fortunate family was filled with goodies and clothing. It truly was the season of good will as we had an abunance of everything. Circle May 4, 1968 on your calendar as that will be State Day and we hope to see everyone there. With renewed strength we will continue to pursue our theme, "Renew, Review, Revive your interest in yourself, your community and your sorority."

However, shortly before Thanksgiving, a number of Greeley Alumnae decided to surprise the Nu actives and pledges with a "Coke Party." We had a pleasant get-together and chat with the girls. Plans are being made to entertain the actives and to honor the new winter quarter pledges at our traditional Sunday night Chili Supper to be held at the chapter house the first Sunday in February.

Lansing Alumnae started their fall program off with an organizational meeting with our President, Dorothy Brodhead at which time the project of the year was revealed with the displaying of Gwen Frostic's stationery and books. In November, Margaret Twork acted as auctioneer at a Chinese Auction. This proved quite hilarious and productive, with top bidder Mary Walton going back to Nashville, Michigan very heavily laden with prizes. Mary also conducted a candlelight service in memory of our founders. In January, local and national social en路ice was the order of the evening and Florence Baker told us about St. Angela Sophia School in Jaipur, India. She had visited the school and told us about the great need for educational materials. Lansing Alunmae contributed articles to be sent to the school. Pupil in Central School in East Lansing al o sent boxe to the school. A letter from the headmistr expresses their appreciation, "Thes fev lin come to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the parcels ou so en rousl, pa ked for us.

LITTLE ROCK Gains New Members路, Has Busy Schedule As we conclude our active sorority year each May, we eagerly look forward to om June dinner meeting at Mexico Chequito. This past June, we had a very large crowd, the food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. In July we had a family picnic at Burns Park in North Little, husbands and children were invited. It was wonderh1l seein g everyone's family and just visiting informally. Our September meeting was at Ann's Candle Shoppe. We were shown arow1d the shop by Ann and her mother who explained the many decorator uses of candles in the home. Following the program, we met at our regular meeting place and began making plans for the year. Ruth Clinton, our president, introduced us to eight new Alpha Taus who had recently moved into the Little Rock area and wanted to visit our alumnae group. Founders' Day was celebrated this year at a dinner meeting held at Roy Fisher's Restaurant in North Little Rock. At this meeting, we decided upon our money-making project for the year. Everyone agreed that the recipe cards were so easy to sell last year that we would repeat this project. Om annual Christmas party was held in the Dixon Home. Bridge and other games were played while we munched on cookies, dips and ch ips. Each member brought a gift for Pine Mountain. As one of our social service projects for the year, each member brought a small gift to the Christmas party to be given to the Girls Training School at Fargo. One of the instructors picked up the gifts and took them to the school and later wrote and told us how much the girls appreciated the gifts.

In January we initiated five new members: Rachel King, Annette Merritt, Donn a McCormick, Joy Phillips and Judy Arnold. Our business meeting was held following the initi ation .

MUNCIE Makes Way for Youth The Muncie Alumnae introduced the year with a planning session in September at the home of the President, Mrs. Roger ottingham. We decided to follow the theme " Make Way For Youth" in our programs tl~is year. October found us greeting young friends and renewing acquaintances of our more youthful days at the Homecoming Tea. The Alpha Alpha's were om hostesses in the sorority suite. "Stereo for Youth" provided our program for Founders' Day. Mr. Bill Hoffman shared his hobby of stereo sounds with us for a delightful and most entertaining program. Many left with a desire to go hom e and make their own stereo tapes. The Alpha Alpha's joined us for dinner and the evening. Mrs. Robert Harshman hosted om December meeting at her home. She presen ted the program "Native Children of the 49th State." We always enjoy having one of om members share with us their experiences on recent trips. Josephine spent several weeks in Alaska last summer and chose to show us some, slides and tell about the chi ldren. What better way to start a new year than to concern ourselves with "Youthful 1s1on . Mr. Folger Brown from a Muncie chapter Lions Club enlightened us about the pmposes and accomplishments of the Eye Bank which they sponsor nationally. Mrs. H arriet elson was our hostess for this inspiring meeting. We left with a renewed spirit of concern for other people. MRs. RoBERT E. BLAKE 71

NORFOLK Supports Panhellenic Projects August found many Alpha Sigma Taus engaged in the arrangements for the annual Panhellenic Tea for freshm en entering schools having sororities affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference. Each alumnae group had a display table and we thought our AST table looked lovely. We had two AST's modeling in the fashion show which was part of the program for the tea. We were most fortunate to have a local department store provide us with the fashions , refreshments, and the use of their tea room. Vickie Scott was active in planning the tea, Anna Margaret Rhodes planned the serving, Diane Forrest and Judy Johnson arranged the display. Chris Buckland served as a hostess, and Sandra Drake was chairman of the committee selecting the scholarship recipient. Alma Hall has provided us with good leadership and much appreciated yearbooks. September was our first luncheon, attended by seven brave gals ... we were under hurricane warnings and many were against testing the elements. November fow1d the chapter meeting for our Founders' Day luncheon. It always brings back college memories when we join in this ceremony. The holidays began with the annual Christmas lw1cheon of Norfolk Panhellenic. Vickie ANCHOR

Scott pl anned th table decorations and Ann a Margaret Rhodes was in charge of lunch eon arrangements. Many sisters contributed help with the details. December held a two-fold treat. Mrs. W. W. Keenan of the Norfolk Story Telling League was our guest speaker and her daughter, the form er Mary Lee Keenan, past president of the Norfo lk Alumnae, was also present. We thoroughly enjoyed having them with us. During the holidays, Sandra Byrum and Pat Lydaine, hosted th e collegiates in th eir Virginia Beach apartment. It was a lovely party and the alumnae were most impressed with the very attractive yo ung ladi es wearing the AST pin. January was a moral e booster. A large attendance at our luncheon and business session. We made plans to make co loring books to donate to the King's Daughters Children's Hospital in orfolk. Diane Hurst Forrest distributed the tickets for the benefit perform ance of a Gilbert and Sullivan production to be held in February. This is being sponsored by orfolk Panhellenic and will provide for the scholarship to be given at the tea in the summer. Our report would not be com pl e te wi th out mentioning Virginia Bendura. We are so proud of her. She has traveled from Hampton for our luncheon meetings and we do think this is marvelous. Oh for more of these loyal alums!

PHILADELPHIA Describes Unique Candle lighting The Philadelphia Alumnae Chapter began the new year with a luncheon at the home of Carolyn Potser in Quakertown. We had our regular business meeting with interesting plans for the year including an informal discussion of summer activities. Founders' Day was celebrated with a luncheon and candlelighting serv ice at the historic Germantown Cricket Club. Beautifull decorated votive candles at each place set th~ scene for a delightful and informa tive illustrated lecture on stained glass ' indow , old

and new, by a representative of a well-known stained glass company. This was really a lovely start for the Christmas season. For a change of pace the December meeting was held in the evening with husbands and guests. After dining at The Penthouse Restaurant, with its fine view of the city, the group proceeded to enjoy a light movie of earlier days in Philadelphia when life seemed much less com plex, "The Happiest Millionaire." In January the members enjoyed a luncheon at Lois O'Dell's and afterwards the humor of Mark Twain, as several selections were read aloud by the group . This activ ity proved to be of such interest that Ethel Weimar was asked to present a program of choral speaking for Feb ruary. Plans for the spring include a brunch and trip to the Duke Gardens in Somerville, New Jersey. EMILY

PRINCETONATHENS Studies Vocational Rehabilitation In July we worked very hard collecting clothes for our annual rummage sale. The members enjoy this project, and we realized a good profit from it. During a candlelight ceremony co nducted by Mrs. B. Ray Parkey, president of our group, a new member, Mrs. Kenneth C. Smith, was initiated at our September meeting. Miss Betti Sue Hedrick, chaplain, assisted in the service. Calvin Belcher, Jr. , supervisor and director of Mercer County Vocational Rehabilitation Project was the guest speaker at our Oc tober meeting. He explained how the work-study program is designed to strengthen furth er the strong points of yatmg people and to qualify the m for self support. The girls are taught domestic arts and the boys are instructed in industri al arts. Since all of our members are teachers and naturally interested

in young people, this was a most informative and timely subject. In celebration of Alpha Sigma Tau Founders' Day, twelve of our group attended the banquet at the Town-N-Country Restaurant in Princeton. Two patronesses of the collegiate chapter, Mrs. Albert Wright and Mr . H . A. Wells, were special guests. For our December meeting we dispensed with a busines meeting and met at the Dinner Bell Restaurant in Princeton for a deligh tful luncheon and get-together. BERYL L AMBERT

ST. LOUIS Gives to School for Girls The St. Louis Alumnae Chapter began the new year with a formal tea given for the activiti es at the home of Margaret Geiselm ann in early September. We all found it a wonderfu l opporttmity for making and renewing fri endships. Later in September, we combined business with pleasure and held a breakfastbusiness meeting at the Howard Johnson Restaurant. October brought with it the actives' rush parties. We assisted with the food and aided in any other way we were needed. Virginia Beare was hostess for our regular monthly business meeting, at this meeting, Betty Canning was initi ated into the chapter. In ovember, we gathered at Marilyn Shroer's home bearing gifts to fill boxes for the Epworth School for Girls. We collected a total of $45.00 and gifts. We also completed plans for F ounders' D ay which we celebrated on November 8 at the Cheshire Inn. Entertainment was provided by the actives. They also presented a new version of the candlelighting ceremony to be u ed at msh partie . The holiday season brought u together for a pot-luck Christma luncheon in the attractive rathskeller at the home of Lillian chippers. This meant hm, conver ation and hri tmas wishes.

SHEPHERDSTOWN Thanks Faithful SPRINGFIELD Secretary Decorates Sorority House Our first meeting was a most enjoyable With Collegiates

one, we met at the home of Mrs. Sherman Beard, Jr. for a picnic. It happened to be the birthday of Mary Hodges, our very capable corresponding secretary, who was able to be at our meeting for the first time in two years due to a long recuperating period from a car accident. She had continued to handle all of her duties in spite of her accident. Mary was certainly surprised when presented a birthday cake trimmed in the sorority colors of green and gold, a "thank you" from us for all the work done for our group. In October we were guests of Mrs. Ralph Burkhart, a prominent resident of our town, who took us on a tour of their museum. She and her husband are antique car enthusiasts and enjoy other antiques in general. It was a most enjoyable evening as she gave the background and history pertaining to many of the items on display. In November we celebrated our Founders' Day banquet with our collegiate sisters on the Shepherd College campus. We are very fortunate in being able to meet with the collegiates occasionally. We are always happy to meet at the home of Genevieve Pitzer for our Christmas party, because she always has her home so gaily decorated for the holiday season. Mrs. Curtis LeFevre was in charge of the program centering around the familiar "Christmas Story" with all members present taking part. Our January program will be centered around Penland School of Crafts, which we ANCHOR

Springfield Alumnae were offered a chance to work more closely together than ever last summer when they undertook to decorate a newly purchased sorority house. Who would ever have thought that hanging wallpaper could be so much fun? We were hardly finished decorating when school began and we were in the midst of Rush. Our group was very cooperative this year and were well represented at all rush events. Highlighting Homecoming this year was our Homecoming and Founders' Day Banquet. Forty friendly faces turned up at our Banquet. How proud we were to display the scholarship trophy won by the actives. To top off a perfect day, Alpha Tau won first place for their decorated car. Christmas always brings many of us together. This year Shirley Keller was hostess for our Christmas dinner. Before Christmas we sold fruitcakes from Athens, Georgia, as a money making project. The results were pleasing. We are looking forward to our February meeting which will be held at the sorority house and followed by a social hour with a Valentine theme. Our group was especially happy to welcome three new legacies. The proud mothers are Karen Wells, Pat Nieman and Mary June Hasty. BARBARA HASHAGE

TRI-CITY Holds Blind Auction _for Charity The Tri-City Alumnae Chapter encompasses three cities: Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City. We have no Bay City members this year but do have members th at attend from Caseville, Caro and Edenville plus the majority of us from Saginaw and Midland. If you live in this vicinity and would enjoy a night out with your AST sisters, give Roni Bailey a call. Roni Bailey, our vivacious president, efficiently planned a well-row1ded schedule of events for last fall. Fow1ders' Day was held at the Embers in Mt. Pleasant with Beta Chapter. We had ten members present. It was very enjoyable. A coffee was held from 2-4 o'clock one afternoon, we brought recipes to exchange. The afternoon meeting was held to see if it would work but we fow1d it inconvenient for too many people. Do we have white elephants?? YES-and we find them fw1 and financially rewarding. We bring all sorts of goodies from home then hold a blind auction on the items. Placing a reasonable but winning bid on an item is quite a skill and worth lots of laughs. Our Christmas party is for our children. It's quite exciting to see "our" children growing up. W e had nine adults and thirteen children attend this year. W e have some new members to take note of. Marilyn Pearce H alstead has been teaching in Carrolton. Her husband works for Dow Corning. Cindy Stroebel Marcoux is a parttime student and part-time teacher. Margo H elber Link is teaching in Saginaw and her husband, Wally, works for Dow Chemical. We have several new statistics. Nancy Mott H anson had her third child in September. Peggy Potvin Lindberg had a future AST last November. Dorothy Saltyziak MacRae and her husband moved to Boston aft er Christmas- they will be missed at our meetings. W e are looking ahead to a stimulating spring program.

A Christmas Baza ar highlighted holiday activities for these alumnae .

The green thumb of many of our Alw1mae was in evidence at our September meeting making flower arrangements under the direction of Mrs. Walter Molik at the lovely new home of Mrs. Fred Meredith. An enthusiastic report of the convention was given by the National Social Service Chairman, Mrs. Charles Belknap. Interior decorating was our theme for the October meeting, presented by and held at Martin Hall er Interiors, Ann Arbor. The program also proved to be a good fund raiser. Our annual Christmas bazaar was held at the home of Mrs. Gil Pearson. Members

brought items they had made to be auctioned. The highest bid went for an antique decouphage oil can filled with a greens arrangement made by the hostess. A Christmas dessert with Alpha Chapter introduced the holiday season. We were more than a little proud to hear Mrs. Charles Belknap show slides and tell of her visit to Pine Mountain Settlement School. The value of our service project was made more meaningful to us. For the first time in four years our annual ice-skating party materialized thanks to freezing weather. We gathered after skating at Marty's house to repair books for the Willard J. Maxey Training School for Boys, our local service project. We're building a closer relationship with Alpha Chapter by helping the girls save for a future sorority house, baking for teas and rush parties, and next month making rush favors.

We of the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter are proud to announce that Janis Cash Raber was chosen Ann Arbor's Outstanding Young Woman for 1967 and was also selected for listing in this year's edition of Outstanding Young Women of America. "Jan," who teaches Spanish in the Stockbridge, Michigan Community Schools, received recognition for her work with children of migrant laborers in the Stockbridge area. She was pleased with the recognition but said her greatest satisfaction came from watching the children "open up" and gain some independence. Handicapped by muscular dystrophy at the age of 31h did not prevent Janis from attending grade school in braces, enter University School and attend Alma College where she was a member of Alpha Eta Chapter. While a collegiate member, Janis was elected to student council, chapter music director, was chosen as outstanding freshman woman and later was selected for Who 's Who In American Colleges and Universities.
