the "exciting city." This opinion of Toronto is also shared by its many visitors. It is truly an . international city due to the varied background of the inhab', itants and it is also a very progressive city. Metropolitan Toronto comprises the city and five adjacent boroughs. Much construction is now going on in an area that takes in 720 square miles and has a population of 2.4 million, growing at a present rate of 75,000 persons a year.

The Royal York Hotel is the largest in the Commonwealth.

It has over 1,600 rooms, along with various convention, dining rooms and shops giving an almost city-like impression.

Mary Bolton, local convention chairman and Sally Wales, Vice President of District II met with the National Council in July to plan for the convention in August. Since that time. the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter and especially our convention committee have been very busy with every phase of convention activities.

The Buffalo Alumnae wish to extend a warm invitation to all Alpha Sigma Taus to attend our Toronto convention this August. We all look forward to renewing old acquaintances and making many new ones. Do come and enjoy a foreign vacation in the "exciting city" !

NPC Sororities Meet in Miami Beach

Th ese f ive members of AST's National Board are all set f or the formal banquet at the Fontainebleau.

They are : (I. tor .) National Editor Nancy Patten, NPC Alternate Delegate Sybil King, NPC Delegate Mrs . Justin G. Doyle, National President Elizabeth Wilson and National Chaplain Mrs . Lucile Steen .

27 member SOrorities gathered last fall for the 41st session of the National Panhellenic Conference at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. AST delegates included: National President Elizabeth Wilson, NPC Delegate Mary Louise Doyle, NPC Alternate Mrs. Sybil King and National Editor Nancy Patten.

Throughout the four-day meeting titled, "So Proudly We Hail," business sessions, discussion seminars and addresses pointed up the need to reexamine the position of fraternities in relation to today's world.

Dr. Henry King Stanford, president of the University of Miami, was the speaker at the NPC formal dinner. Having traced student demonstrations from the third century to the present, Dr. Stanford noted that in historical perspective, such demonstrations are not new, but that one ingredient in today's uprisings that is new is the questioning of all authority. He urged his listeners to put their ideals into action, likening them to good silver, not to be placed on the shelf to tarnish, but to be kept bright through constant use.

National Chaplain Mrs. Lucile Steen came down from her Boca Raton home to join the AST delegation at the formal banquet. A Miami alumna, Betty Snidow, also joined the AST table for dinner.

The following evening Patti Murray, Iota, arrived at the Conference to take part in the collegiate workshop. Patti is the president of the Panhellenic Council on Kansas State Teachers' College campus at Emporia, Kansas.

Juvenile Court Judge Mrs. William Nash was the featured speaker on Friday night. She noted that our continuing growth and strength lies in our ability to provide close personal relationships, a bond of friendship among persons of similar interest and the right of free and voluntary association.

"Fraternities create the stable element on the campus and furnish upport for campus activitie " said Mr . Na h, ' but

we must constantly redesign to fit the present picture. Our basic values are strong and need little change."

On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Frederick Kershner, professor of American Social and Intellectual History at Columbia University, addressed the conference delegates and undergraduates. In noting that, "The Greeks are not dead . .. the system merely sleeps," he recommended means of upgrading the social program.

Dr. Kershner cited chapter self-regulation and asked what limits should be made on behavorial freedom ... the importance of undergraduate knowledge of what the women's fraternity is, was, and can be ... the sorority's relationship to campus reform and rush selectivity.

Rounding out the Saturday evening program was Dr. Doris M. Seward of the University of Kentucky. She directed her questions and suggestions to the collegiate members. She noted that the image of the current member does not match the ideal of the fraternity and predicted that the coming emphasis of fraternity will be academic and possibly an agency of social concern.

At the Sunday brunch Mrs. Alice P. Widener, Editor of U.S.A., elaborated on the theme, "So Proudly We Hail the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."

She cited the need for leadership to maintain our constitutional citizenship. She urged her listeners to continue to create ANCHOR

and not destroy and to go forward together under God. Some of the resolutions passed by the 1969 NPC Conference follow: • To prepare proposals for more productive and beneficial systems of rushing • To urge college panhellenics to implement recommendations of informal rush and continuous open bidding • To hold small workshop meetings at the Conference for corresponding officers of member groups • To favor a positive public relations program to combat anti-fraternity publicity and influences • To observe orderly extension procedures in accordance with the spirit of Standards of Ethical Practice • To prepare a summary leaflet on the Biennial Philanthropic Report to be used as a public relations item • To encourage area advisers to develop combined workshops for college panhellenics on campuses of comparable size and interest • To continue granting the National Panhellenic Award, the Fraternity Month Award and the newly-established National Panhellenic Award for smaller college panhellenics • To reaffirm policies and statutes on hazing • To counsel undergraduate chapters to support a member fraternity under attack.

Charlotte King

lJesterdal] and Tomorrow 16

to accept the invitation to speak to you, two rather dismaying thoughts crossed my mind.

First, I am accustomed to 50-minute periods in my college classes and may find it difficult to confine my remarks to a fraction of that time. Second, I am not only considerably "over 30" but also a member of Alpha Sigma Tau for almost 30 years, and this realization does very little for my morale.

However, as a friend of mine told her teenage daughter, "We weren't born old!" and one of the advantages of being well over 30 is being able to look back with some perspective on the days of our youth. As I recalled my college days-the "olden days," as my first graders would have termed them-! found myself thinking about the things that have not changed, the things that have changed and the things that hould be hanged.

A

LTHOUGH I WAS HAPPY

AN HOR

Among those things that have not really changed over the years are some characteristics of young people. In support of this remarkable assertion, I offer the following recollections of my generation as we were some 30 years ago.

We were continually discouraged and frustrated by the incredible dullness of our parents and by the antiquity of their thinking on a variety of matters. The exasperated phrase "Oh, Mother!" is far from new.

We had our stylish modes of dressdirty saddle shoes, page-boy hairdos and mid-calf length skirts-and saw no contradiction between our desire to be distinctive in our appearance and our slavish conformity to current fads.

We wanted desperately to be considered competent young adults, and we resented bitterly any restrictions on independent thought and action. We could not understand or accept our parents' unwillingness to grant us complete freedom to manage our lives as we saw fit.

And yet, although we certainly would not admit to any lack of self-confidence, we did have some misgivings about being on our own in the very near future.

We had secret doubts about other matters as well. We questioned the tenets of our religion. We debated matters of propriety, of moral standards and values, of ethical behavior. We wondered if we were right in choosing teaching as our profession.

Had High Ideals

Somewhat paradoxically, however, we were quite sure that we had the answers to many questions, and that our knowledge was virtually complete. After all, what more was there to learn or know after four years in college and a baccalaureate degree, and what could possibly be added to our competency as prospective teachers? The failure of the rather muddled and outdated older generation to acknowledge our superior wisdom amazed us.

Finally, we had high ideals: high expectations of ourselves and others. We saw many things in our society that we thought should be changed, and we were ANCHOR

eager to help bring about th ese changes.

There are things that have changed since my college days, however, some for good and some for ill. Among the desirable changes are differences such as these : There is now a greater acceptance of people as human beings and as individuals, without regard for their racial, ethnic, religious or other backgrounds.

Certainly much progress has yet t o be made in this area, but today there is a marked improvement from the past.

Along similar lines, I have seen increased cooperation among the various religious groups and greater recognition of the similarities among them . Of course, there are people today who distrust any religion or denomination except their own, but the trend seems to be away from this outlook.

Difference in Rules

As additional evidence of a greater acceptance of people as individuals, there has been a trend away from the rigid demarcation between male and female interests, roles and occupations. Wit h respect to academic interests and achievements, just consider the difference between the situation today and that of 30 years ago. Certainly there must be differences in the roles and responsibilities identified as male and female, but I heartily endorse the greater flexibility in choosing courses, hobbies and vocations that has characterized recent years.

Although the college students in my audience may be skeptical about my next statement, I am quite sure that there is a much greater openness and ease of communication between young people and adults than existed several decades Qgo. If there is a generation gap today, there was a generation chasm when I was in college. Although there were some exceptions then, just as there are now, we were far less able to sit down and talk comfortably with our parents or teachers than are today's college students .

Perhaps the most promising of the desirable changes is the active commitment to service that is much more typical of today's youth than it was of our genera(Continued on Page 76)

Impressions From

'x THEN THERE IS an exploring element V V and curiosity in our personalities,

travel becomes purposeful- adding so much to learning and living.

I have many unforgettable memories of our recent round the world venture.

First of all, in retrospect, I am continually amazed over the artistry of Asian people.

No picture can possibly do justice to the beauty in every town.

There is a lifetime of study in Japanese gardens alone. I learned something of the various garden periods, extending as far back as the Asuka period of the sixth and seventh century. Each is identified with its own design and plan.

Miniature garden gems appear everywhere. Inside a hotel lobby or restaurant, outdoor scenes are recreated in small scale gardens which even feature little bridges crossing streams of pebbles.

The Japanese tea ceremony is strongly

symbolic and a most exquisite art. I was surprised to find the tea of a consistency of spinach soup and the color of green jade. My hope is that this very graceful and charming custom may long continue.

One of the scenic wonderlands of the Orient is t he Toroko Marble Gorge Drive in Taiwan. Here at the close of the day, we were treated to an Aborigini dance performance. Girls in brilliant costumes performed their native dances for us.

Their friendliness was quite overwhelming as they drew us into a traditional dance.

Manila is the place where Occident meets the Orient. The jeepneys or buses t hronging the streets were a surprise to me. The idea stems from jeeps left by the American army. Not one is like any other.

Each had been hand decorated by young boys.

Education is important to the Philip-

Around the World pino. It is inherent in the parents for children to learn. Far Eastern University, one of the many in Manila, has a registration of 65,000 students.

The physical beauty of Hong Kong is sensational. It is like a stage with ever changing scenery. At KaiTak airport, our plane landed on a runway that juts into the sea.

Almost everything about this city is unique. A major fact is that it lives next door to and is dependent upon the most unpredictable landlord in the world. Ninetenths of the colony is held on a 99-year lease to the government of China and heavily depends on Chinese food stuffs and water.

Its colorful harbor is filled with much activity. There are numerous sampans, ferries, junks, warships, yachts and ocean liners from many lands.

conditions in Hong Kong because this bursting population is being housed in enormous new residential estates. Tall apartment buildings with roof-top schools and playgrounds are conspicuously placed on steep hillsides.

A 70-minute trip by hydrafoil brought us to the Portuguese colony of Macau.

Here we peered through the bamboo curtain- actually a gateway where Red Chinese guards are stationed. No camera shots are allowed and gun boats patrol the harbor. For although Macau is kept open, it is under strict control of the Communists. I was happy to head back after this grim reminder of what loss of freedom may imply.

Next we flew over South Vietnam into Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital city.

It has an undeniable originality and charm as has so much of the little country of Cambodia. I noted swarms of cyclo-

pousses on wide avenues and many women dressed in 路narrow ankle-length skirts called sampots.

Siem Reap and Angkor was our next stop for a look at the ruins of the gigantic temples of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thorn. Suddenly we had gone back centuries in time for a few fleeting moments stood in the splendor of the God Kings.

In Singapore, City of the Lion, we had many fun experiences. One of these was an evening aboard The Singapore Lady.

A dinner of Chinese food was served as we cruised out into the vast, lighted harbor.

Delightful Oriental music added to the perfect atmosphere.

We found Malaysia to be a truly picturesque land with friendly people of varying cultures. Informative visits to 20

rubber estates as well as to an hydraulic tin mine were on our agenda.

After a brief stop in Malaysia we were whisked off to the rim of the Himalayas.

I couldn't believe that I was actually there viewing snow-capped Mt. Everest and other great peaks. Kathmandu valley in the center of Nepal is magnificent.

In the city, there are as many temples as houses. One imposing pagoda-style building with ornate carvings, houses the Living Goddess. She is an 11-year old girl who appears in an upper window at stated times for all to see and worship. This is a strange custom and quite shocking when one learns that she was chosen at the age of three to remain there until reaching puberty. Another child of exceptional beauty replaces her at thi time.

India was next on our agenda. This country cannot be judged by the standard of living to which we are accustomed.

Rather one should be mindful of the kindliness of the people and their contributions of art and culture to the rest of the world. However, the problems of this land are enormous. Over-population, religion, superstition and extremes of climate are just a few of them. A staggering health problem also is quite evident.

Everyone is in a hurry from early morning until late in the evening. There is a fast stream of traffic that includes autos, pedal rickshaws, small horse drawn carts and heavily-loaded camels and elephants.

One of our last stops before heading home was Iran. Under the reign of a determined Shah, the arid country of Iran ANCHOR

is making real progress. More than 50 percent of the people are now literate and the status of women is advanced conspicuously.

Teheran, the capital, appears quite modern but still retains its old flavor.

Street vendors and food stalls line the streets where many of the women appear in long shawls or chadors. Traffic, as in so many Asian cities, borders on the insane - or so it seems when one attempts to cross from one curb to the other.

Would I wish to repeat such a journey?

Oh, yes. The whole world is, in a way, my family. As a world citizen, I wish to grow in my understanding and knowledge of its changing cultures. Also I am better able to positively assess the many blessings of our great land- America.

National Social Service Chairman Heads Michigan Bishop Sewing Council

H

AVE ANY PROBLEMS

with your sewing?

One member of the AST National Board can answer any of your questions. It's Mrs. Charles L. Belknap, national social service chairman.

P resently she is serving as the first chairman of the Michigan Bishop Sewing Council.

The purpose of this group is to perpetuate Bishop sewing, upgrade techniques, clarify instructions at each level and promote cooperation among Michigan teachers. The council will publish newsletters, hold clinics and meet annually.

Mrs. Belknap is coordinator of Bishop sewing for the Ann Arbor Public Schools' Continuing Education Department.

About six years ago the Ann Arbor school system added Bishop sewing to its continuing education program. It is an 22

extremely popular class and most sections fill up immediately.

More than 300 women have taken the various Bishop classes each semester. There are five levels of instructions and each lasts 10 weeks.

Bishop sewing- named after its inventor the late Mrs. Edna Bryte Bishop of Flint- incorporates modern methods of sewing to construct professional garments as efficiently as possible. Maximum use of the sewing machine is taught.

Mrs. Belknap explained that the personal attention from the teacher and the demonstration method are two important ingredients in the Bishop method. " Accuracy, perfection and efficiency are always stressed . Some women even claim the Bishop method is faster than regular sewing," she added.

Charlotte Douglas Receives High Award from U.S. Dept. of Interior I N RECOGNITION OF 26 years of excep-

tional service, Mrs. Charlotte E. Douglas, Psi, received the Meritorious Service Award- the second highest award presented by the U. S. Department of the Interior.

Hollis M. Dola, assistant secretary for mineral resources, and W. T . Pecora, Geological Survey Director, presented Mrs. Douglas with a citation, certificate and silver medal- all emblematic of this high honor.

Mrs. Douglas joined the Geological Survey in 1950 after completing two years of service with the Corps of Engineers.

Presently she is the staff assistant to the Geological Survey Director.

Commenting on her work, Mr. Pecora said, " Mrs. Douglas is my strong right office arm, whose dedication to her job and to the multitude of daily problems confronting me, permits this office to run effectively."

One of Mrs. Douglas' important contributions to the effective operation of the

Geological Survey has been her active pursuit of high standards in the preparation of correspondence emanating from this office. She has been among the prime speakers in a series of training courses for new secretaries and has educated them in the procedural and practical aspects of correspondence preparation.

This busy Psi alumna attended Madison College in Harrisonburg, Va., and received a secretarial diploma in 1948. Her hobbies are collecting Hummels, bowling and swimming. She is chairman of a church circle at Fairfax United Methodist Church and active with the AST Washington, D. C., alumnae. Currently she is the Psi Chapter alumnae representative.

Church Honors Ruth Seibert E. SEIBERT, Chi alumnae representative-adviser, last fall celebrated her 25th year as the organist at the First Presbyterian Church in Martinsburg, W. Va. In honor of this occasion the church sponsored a number of special social events. Miss Seibert received a white gold bracelet with pearls from the choir and a sterling silver bracelet from the women of the church.

The entire congregation gave special

R

UTH

ANCHOR

recognition to her faithful service at the Morning Worship Service. They presented Miss Seibert with two pieces of luggage, flowers and a special plaque.

Before starting to play at this church, Miss Seibert had been the organist of the Trinity Episcopal Church from February 1942 to October 1944. She has not missed a Sunday since she started playing.

Miss Seibert received her B.A. degree from Shepherd College, Shepherdstown,

23

W. Va., and also attended the Hagerstown School of Music, Hagerstown, Md. She is a member of the American Guild of Organists and serves as treasurer of the Cumberland Valley chapter in Hagerstown, Md. She also is the state chaplain of the West Virginia Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

Her other offices include: state first vice president of the West Virginia So-

ciety of the United States Daughters of 1612 and state registrar of the West Virginia Society Daughter of the American Colonists.

She is a past president of the Friends of Music and a past president of the Shepherdstown AST Alumnae. Currently she is vice president and program chairman of the AST alumnae group and alumnae adviser for Chi Chapter.

Miss Seibert finds teaching organ and piano lessons is a most rewarding vocation as many of her students are now playing in their own churches. She teaches Sunday school and enjoys reading, cooking and sewing in her spare time.

Army Reserve Keeps Betty Canning Busy grade students can brag that their teacher is a First Lieutenant, but the youngsters in Betty Canning's class can. This busy Pi Chapter alumna has a reserve commission as a first Lieutenant in the Women's Army Corp.

As part of her duties, Miss Canning serves as administrative officer for the ( 5038) St. Louis USAR School. She also is a member of the Reserve Officers' Association of the United States and is junior vice president for the Army in the Missouri ROA chapter. Rounding out her Army work, Miss Canning is on the Board of Directors of the St. Louis ROA Chapter.

A 1962 graduate of Harris Teachers College in St. Louis, Miss Canning currently is doing graduate work at Webster College. She will graduate this year with a M.A. in education.

When she isn't busy with Army activities, Miss Canning enjoys knitting, reading, tennis and swimming. She also is interested in programmed instruction and is a member of the St. Louis Chapter of the National Association for Programmed instruction.

Miss Canning's additional local memberships include the St. Louis Teachers' Association and the American Red ros .

Kay Allen Competes in Miss America Pageant -

:..

Kay's proud parents. Mr. and Mrs . Hale Ray Allen . were the first to congratulate her when she won the Miss Arkansas pageant.

that things are lovelier second time around, and Kay Allen, Upsilon, couldn't agree more heartily. Last year for the second time she entered the Miss Arkansas contest and walked off with the top honors.

In 1968 as Miss State College of Arkansas, Kay won the preliminaries in the swimsuit and talent divisions. She placed as the third runner-up to Miss Arkansas.

This year she entered the Miss North Little Rock pageant and by winning earned the right to compete again in the state contest. She was a repeat winner in the swimsuit and talent contests and took the Miss Arkansas title from 40 other contestants.

Kay's Upsilon sister Debbie Vantrease competed as Miss Malvern and was the second runner-up in the contest.

Kay's winnings in scholarships amount to about $3,500. She plans to return to SCA this fall to finish her final year as physical education major with a special education minor. She would like to continue on for a master's degree before teaching on the junior high level.

After 14 years of dancing lessons and five years studying acrobatics, it's no wonder that Kay used this area for her talent presentation. She did an original acrobatic ballet to the theme from "Exodus." She performed standing flipsforward, backward and sideways - and did backbends without using her hands.

Commenting on some of her happy experiences Kay said, "One of my biggest thrills came when I was initiated into AST during my sophomore year in college. Without the inspiration and backing my sisters have given me, I don't think I would be where I am today. Two of my sisters, Elaine Mack and Susan Selig, even came to Atlantic City to watch the Miss America pageant."

In closing Kay said, " I would like to encourage fellow sisters to enter beauty contests. Of course, everyone can't be a winner in the sense of the word, but t he real winners are made in God's eyes."

Publicity-wise their newspaper visit was quite successful. The girl had their picture appear in the Waterloo Dail路 Courier and Women's Editor Ph IIi Singer devoted more than half of her column to them. Her clo ing remark wa " Girls are wonderful."

Chapter News

Upsilon Chapter at State College of Arkansas, Conway, Ark., was well represented on the homecoming court. Jane Carter was chosen Queen, and Elaine Mack and Mary Jack Sturgeon were senior and junior maids, respectively.

Alphas f7isit Ball State Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Mich., has had a busy and rewarding semester. Early in t he fall the Sisters along with Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity helped collect money for ALSAC. It turned out to be a very rewarding experience. Later in the semester Alpha Chapter sold Christmas cards for the Association for Emotionally Dist urbed Children.

I nformal rush brought us Vickie Guess our new pledge. She has all the enthusiasm of 10 pledges and t he sisters of Alpha Chapter are very proud of her.

The highlight of our semester was our trip to Muncie, Ind. This fall Alpha Chapter went to Ball State and spent an enjoyable weekend visiting with Alpha Alpha Chapter. After a cold day at t he EMU vs. Ball State football game we spent t he rest of t he weekend having a ball. We are looking forward to a return visit with Alpha Alpha Chapter very soon.

The Christmas season brought us a busy calendar with initiation and caroling and many other t hings.

Betas Sponsor D ads Weekend For the Beta Chapter at Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, Mich., the fall semester began with a mixture of

36

rush and homecoming. Rush took top priority and our efforts were rewarded with a pledge class of seven. We also welcomed a transfer student from the Alpha Chapter, Joann Ulmer.

"Wanted: Chris Rawley for Stealing Your Heart Away," was the slogan used for our homecoming candidate. Working with the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity we campaigned for Chris and also constructed a float using the slogan "Chippewa Circus." Our house decorations won first place during the homecoming festivities.

Founders' Day was celebrated by members, our housemother and alumnae with a dinner at the Embers Restaurant. At this time Cheryl Wiitanen was awarded the Scholarship Trophy and Bonnie Breese the Senior Award.

The Annual Dad's Weekend began with a football game, followed by bowling, a dinner, a program and dancing. As usual the fathers and daughters shared the fun.

Imagination and hours of planning brought us new and successful rush parties this fall. We were especially excited about the results of the Thanksgiving dinner rush party. Rushees as well as actives dressed as pilgrims or Indians and a hay wagon was used for transportation. Thanksgiving dinner was served with the girls sitting Indian style at low tables. The entertainment ended with a sing-a-long and then each rushee was presented one of the bright paper flowers which served as centerpieces.

The Christmas season brought coffee hours, tree decorating parties, a candlelight breakfast and Christmas cookies galore. However, the most rewarding of all the Yuletide festivities was a Christmas party at the State Home and Training School. Along with the Sigma Chi Fraternity the CMU Taus shared the spi1it of the season by means of skits, dancing and candy-filled stockings.

Election of officers was held at the close of the semester and the following were elected to the top offices: President Nannette Heyer, Vice President Terry Cole, Secretary Lyn Stewart and Treasurer Pam Mason.

When the Deltas and their dates get together for an informal party , they make quite a crowd .

Deltas Enjoy Fall Classes had barely begun at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pa., when Delta chapter began fall rushing plans. We have become accustomed to our new rush system initiated just last spring and we were quite proud of the fine showing we made with our 13 new pledges.

They joined efforts to present the Sisters with their pledge dance at the college lodge. The dance was entitled "Hee Haw Tau," a take off on the new television show. They wrote an amusing pledge skit and the favors were green tinted brandy snifters with the AST crest in gold.

Homecoming was a proud day for Deltas when Donnice Duke placed third for homecoming queen. Our float was Little Miss Muffet featuring an enormous black spider and a larger than life size Miss Muffet. Thanks go to our Float Chairman Margie Croker for all her work.

ANCHOR

Delta Chapter participated again this fall in the Theta Chi annual marathon to raise money for a charitable cause.

This year the money was donated to the Big Brother, Big Sister program on campus. The Deltas placed third in the competition.

Winter Weekend was especially nice for us this year. Sororities and fraternities are paired up to decorate the fraternity houses. We joined with the Alpha Chi Epsilon house to win second place for our decoration.

Several of our sisters have brought a special honor to the Deltas. Connie Herald was name second runner-up in the Miss Indiana University Contest last spring but is now first runner-up because of the ineligibility of the winner. Chris Hadel placed third in the best dressed contest held in the fall, and Jeanne Soeder represented Taus in the Kaydeen Contest.

Successful Fall for Zetas The sisters of Zeta Chapter are very proud of their accomplishments during the fall semester at Lock Haven State College, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania.

Rush was our first big project of the semester. We are proud Susan Sullivan to announce our new Homecoming Queen sisters: Mary Buffington, Debbie Burris, Joyce Callahan, Becky Carr, Darla Charles, Chris Fauble, Karen Lewis, and Mrs. Werner Barth, our new assistant adviser.

A pizza party was held in honor of our new pledges at the Lambda Chi Alpha House. At their party in honor of the sisters, the pledges presented their theme of "Mother Goose Land." Sisters were asked to come as specific storybook characters, while the pledges came a& Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Each sister was given a green and yellow frog with ASTon its back. The pledges spent many hours on their gift to the sorority, a beautiful antiqued chest to hold our supplies.

Zetas participated in the annual competition, Aqua-Capers, and came back with the first place trophy!

Homecoming was the highlight of the season. Four sisters represented us on the Homecoming Court: Jackie Case, Linda Fulesday, Jeanne Hessler, and Susan Sullivan. The most exciting moment was the crowning of Susan Sullivan as Queen.

We also have two Taus representing fraternities as their Sweethearts. Jackie Case was chosen as Kappa Delta Rho's 38

sweetheart and Jean Hessler was named Phi Mu Delta's sweetheart.

As a service project we helped the brothers of Phi Mu Delta give a Halloween party for the Head-Start children in the area. We entertained 50 children with games, puppet shows and a skit presented by our pledges.

The Christmas season was an especially happy time for us. We helped the brothers of Kappa Delta Rho decorate the Old

Folk's Home in Lock Haven. The people were wonderful and so appreciative of our work that we decided to continue this project annually. We also helped the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha and the brothers of Kappa Delta Rho decorate their houses for Christmas.

We're now in the process of planning for State Day. All of the sisters are working on this project, hoping to make this the most successful State Day yet. We hope to see many sisters from other Pennsylvania Chapters here.

Omicrons End Semester Deeply Saddened Omicrons at Concord College, Athens, W. Va., got off to a busy fall semester with an exciting rush week culminating in a carnival theme party entitled "Tau Joyland of Fun." We were most happy to accept 12 new pledges and later at initiation to present Carol Macomber with the Best Pledge award.

Homecoming was also an eventful and award-winning weekend for us this year.

Our queen candidate, Patty McGraw, was second runner-up, while our float, "There's No Generation Gap Here," took second place in the judging. Not long after the homecoming activities we were once again busy planning for our annual Hayseed Hop with the Theta Xis. Founders' Day is always an important celebration for all Alpha Taus. This year Omicrons met with the Bluefield and the Princeton-Athens Alumnae groups at a restaurant in Princeton for a banquet and program.

In addition, both Patti and Lou Ann were chosen for Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges.

We began the Christmas Season joyfully with our annual All-Sorority Christmas Party that we sponsor as both a charity and a social event. At this party we stuff stockings for needy children in the area with goodies and toys contributed by all the campus sororities.

Our Christmas season, however, was deeply saddened on December 16 with the deaths of two of our members, Patty McGraw and Cecilia Gattuso. The deaths resulted from a car accident in which four other members, Becky Blevins. Diane Godfrey, Marsha Myers and Cynthia Farmer, were also very seriously injured.

All four girls are now well on their way to a complete recovery.

Chis Have Eventful Fall Term Once again Shepherd College, Shepherdstown, W. Va., was alive with the activities of Chi Chapter.

Activities began with the Founders' Day Banquet in Martinsburg, W. Va. It was given by the alumnae chapter and attended by the active members and the rushees.

The holiday season was highlighted by a Christmas party at the home of faculty advisor Dr. Sara Cree. This year instead of exchanging gifts, each girl brought a small gift for the children of nearby orphanages. Some of the activities of the evening were singing Christmas carols and electing new officers.

Fall rush featured the theme of "Tau Patch" with members and rushees dressed in Kitty Hawk fashion. Members offered entertainment in the form of skits and rushees also joined in the fun with relay races and bobbing for apples.

From fall rush Chi chapter gained 10 new members: Rene Barnes, Sandy Byers, Kay Campbell, Jeanne Crampton, Kathy Crowel, Georganne Farmer, Sara Gordon, Nelda Grub, Diana Judy, Liz Kendal and Carla Lohman.

Many of the active Chi members served the campus by supporting the Rams with posters. Support also came from our cheerleaders this semester as Barby MacDonald welcomed two more Alphas to the squad with the initiation of Diana Judy and Liz Kendal.

Looking ahead, members of the Chi Chapter are eagerly making plans for spring rush, our dinner dance and of course spring weekend activities.

Alpha Zeta Chapter at Queens College, Flushing, N.Y., enjoyed another busy and exciting semester. We started off with an open tea- where all the sororities sent representatives to meet prospective members.

This was followed by our Sweet Shoppe Tea and our Hawaiian Tea. Through our effort we gained two pledges. We again participated in the Pledge Queen Contest along with the other sororities.

The fact that friendship never dies was

emphasized again and again throughout the semester as the sisters and alumnae got together at the homecoming party, pledge pinning and pledge initiation.

The deluge of slides, pictures, and souvenirs indicated the fact that our Taus got around - to California and Hong Kong among other places. We were very happy to welcome Rosalie Cangelosi back after a year's stay in Spain through the College's Study Abroad program.

The children at the Pine Mountain Settlement Home were always in our thoughts and we got together with the Alumnae Club to wrap Christmas presents to send to them. There were so many toys, books, and school supplies around that there was practically no room for us.

To end the semester alumnae and undergrads got together for the pledge initiation. To celebrate we took the pledge class to see Cactus Flower and topped off the evening at the Hawaii Kai. We are now looking forward to the spring semester and a successful rush.

After returning to Alma College, Alma, Mich., last fall, we found ourselves deeply involved with homecoming activities.

Building our float,"Crack Up the Britons," and seeing two Alpha Etas, Jeanne Boyden and Kim Kimble, on the homecoming court made the weekend very exciting.

Following homecoming, fall rush began.

We welcomed our new pledge class which called itself "The Baker's Dozen" . The 13 new pledges were Francie Boyd, Marcia Campbell, Marge Cowan, Mary Lou Fortmiller, Peg Green, Pat Hamlett, Jenny Kusse, Lu Light, Judy Maus, Jamie McLeod, Lauren Moore, Sue Riharb and Debbie Sand.

Founders' Day was celebrated at a banquet with our parents. The pledges provided singing for entertainment.

Before exams we caroled in the halls of the Masonic Home in Alma and returned to our sorority room for refreshments. We observed the Christmas season by helping our brother fraternity put on their annual

party, " Holly House" . The pledges presented a skit, the actives sang and we all helped to decorate the house.

Bringing the pledge period to an end, the pledges gave a party for the actives.

The theme was based on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, and we all came dressed to do our own thing.

January 18 brought initiation. After receiving 13 new members into our sisterhood, we all enjoyed dinner at the Embers. The new actives presented paddles to their big sisters.

Alpha Theta Means 'Active' The past year has been a kaleidoscope of people, places and events for Alpha Thetas at the University of Detroit, Detroit, Mich .

The spring pledge class was composed of five talented and vivacious girls. One of the new members, Maureen Gwizdala, was the 1968-69 sweetheart of Air Force ROTC Squadron 3852.

In the fall, we welcomed two more Alpha 'rhetas, Doneen DiStefano and Carolyn Wancour. From the very beginning these girls proved to be valuable assets as they pitched in vigorously as we worked on our float for Homecoming. The result of our effort was the first place award.

About this time, we also held elections for our sweethearts. Re-elected as Tuff Tau is Lee Boccia; our new Vice-Tau is Dave Roman, and filling the newlycreated office of Huggy Bear is Andy DeRamer. The sweethearts were officially installed at a hayride.

Another office that changed hands is that of our Collegiate Chapter Director.

Sue Zakrzewski, a 1969 graduate, is our newly appointed director. Other honors and offices include our former president, Kathy Horan, as the A&S Senior of the Year and Ann Olejarczyk as Panhellenic Vice President.

Fall semester's activities also featured the Founders' Day luncheon at the Bloomfield Canopy, participation in WXYZ's Project Joey (a drive to collect Christmas toys for underprivileged children), and a profitable bake sale. The semester closed with a Kris Kringle party complete with a Christmas list which covered two walls and a genuine Kris ANCHOR

Kringle who filled our shoes with candy.

The spring semester brings no slackening of the pace for Alpha Thetas. Opening the semester was the annual Greek Week with events ranging from discus t hrowing to a chariot race. Along with Greek Week is the beginning of our Formal Rush, and we are going all out to attract future members. Also planned for this semester is our annual Spring Dinner Dance. This year it will be held at the Poncha train Hotel in downtown Detroit. We are also cooperating with t he Alumnae Chap ter in planning for our upcomin g social service project.

But even with all the activities, Alpha Thetas worked hard at their studies. Geni Zepeda, a December graduate, led the way with a 4. average. Almost all the Sisters received a 3. average or better, putting us in a strong position in the competition for the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup. Presidents of Alpha Theta traditionally become engaged while in office, and Chris Schorn has continued the custom. Following the example of our leader is Kat hy O'Keefe. After all, to be an Alpha Theta is to be very special.

Alpha Iotas Entertain 20 Indian Children

This happy group of Alpha Iotas are taking a break during a rush planning meeting .

The fall semester has been most successful for Alpha Iota Chapter at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N .Y. In addition to our many activities, we gained four upperclass pledges: Patty Basch, June Caplin, Ellen Glick, and Sheila Schwartz.

We are also justified in taking pride in our scholastic achievements of this semester. Besides receiving the Panhellenic award for the "Most Improved Scholastic Average," we ranked second out of the 21 sororities on campus in overall average . A majority of the sisters achieved Dean's List honors and several

sisters were chosen for various honoraries on campus.

The big social event of the season was our Fall Formal commemorating Founders' Day. On Friday night, we opened t he weekend with a gala Halloween Party. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes. The Formal was a beautiful and enjoyable affair.

Not all of the Alpha Iotas can complain of the dreary weat her of the north -one spent the fall semester in Florence, Italy, and another is anticipating spring semester in Poitiers, France.

In the holiday spirit, the Alpha Iota Chapter planned a Christmas party for 20 Indian children from the nearby reservation. It was heart-warming to us to know that we had helped give these children a merry Christ mas.

Alpha Mu Chapter, at Arkansas A&M College, College Heights, Ark., started off the fall with much energy, enthusiasm and high expectations for a tremendous rush.

The theme of our informal party was " Spooktime AST." The party was held at night in our sponsor's yard which enhanced the ghostly atmosphere.

Traditionally the theme of our formal rush party was the "Yellow Rose." The activities took the rushees to a formal dinner and then back to our newly completed sorority room for a ribboning.

Our efforts were rewarded when we received 11 new pledges. They are: Kay Akers, Kathy Cingolani, Vonda Kaye Brown, Norma Divine, Betty Hayes, Diane Lord, Diane Mann, Irene Locke, J o Etta Hawkins. Phyllis Robertson, and Anne Bostian.

Things did not stop after rush season however. Other activities included open houses, entertaining the Sigma Tau Gammas in our sorority room for dinner, attending concerts and selling candy and cookbooks. The Alpha Taus supported our Greek system on campus by attending an informal meeting with Congressman David Pryor.

One of the highlights of the semester was a buffet dinner at our sponsor's home, Mrs. Irene Puckett.

Taus are proud of Pam Price for being chosen for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and Senior Homecoming Maid. Also, Brenda Simmons was chosen Sigma Tau Gamma's Sweetheart.

President Cathy Magnini was also chosen for Who's Who. Active Donna Huggins and pledge Betty Hayes were initiated into Alpha Chi, a national scholastic fraternity organization. Donna Forre t and A CHOR

Abigale Simmons were homecoming maids.

The semester closed on a sad note as we say goodbye to President Cathy Magnini and two other members who graduate.

Donna Forrest was elected as our new president. Janice Culpepper was elected treasurer and Diane Scucchi, housing director.

The fall term was a busy one for the Alpha Nus at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Mo. Our first activity of the year was homecoming and the theme was "The Wonderful World of Mythology."

The Alpha Nus float was a huge 40 foot whale-complete with movable parts consisting of two eyes, two fins, a huge pink tongue and a tail. Our slogan was "Whale Of A Victory" and it certainly was for us as our float won first place in the sorority float division.

Even though our thoughts seemed to be preoccupied with homecoming we did Float building takes a lot of hands, but Alpha Nu's efforts were rewarded when they received the first prize for a " Whale of a Victory ."

Our fall pledge class consisted of: Linda Conley, Linda Draffen and Jean Kuester. They were initiated early in September.

Before we knew it, formal rush was here. Our first party was centered around the theme of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," and our second round party was "Glow of Enchantment." Due to our efforts, we welcomed in five new sisters: Barbara Bollenger, Linda College, Rene Diemer, Gail RePinec and Fonda Smith.

The same day we welcomed these girls into greek life, 10 of our sisters left for Cedar Falls, Iowa, where they helped Alpha Psi at the University of Northern Iowa with a rush party entitled "Tau Trip."

Something new was added to the fall rush program this year. One of the traditional parties was replaced by an open house in our suite. Several rooms were decorated in the themes of past rush parties. As the rushees became acquainted with our "home," entertainment was provided by our sextet.

We took six new fall pledges: Vicki Ashbaugh, Fran Bianco, Kathleen Grgich, Lorainne Kapanak, Claudia Kramer and J oetta Satkovich. J oetta received the Best Pledge award at the Big-Little Sister party which followed initiation. We also had an open house for our advisors and patronesses.

Celebration for Founders' Day began early, as we started off the weekend with a hayride and weiner roast. Sunday morning we all went to church together.

Big steps were taken last summer by the sisters of Alpha Rho at Youngstown State University, Youngs town, Ohio. We finally have our own house. Working like beavers we had the house ready for action when school started in the fall. The first action on campus was homecoming. Mary Ann Stanecki was our candidate for Homecoming Queen.

Fall rush contributed its usual share of work but the results were rewarding. We attracted seven new pledges: Gladys Campbell, Charlene DiCenzo, Lana Dresel, Cheryl Gorgie, Beth Gourley, Linda Gundelfinger and Linda Puskar. One pledge, Linda Gundelfinger, already won a trophy for the sorority. She was awarded the "Fastest Mouth on Campus" trophy at the annual Phi Kappa Tau Dance.

Alpha Sigma Has Rushing ''Ball" Alpha Sigma's wing of the new Panhellenic dormity at Northeast Missouri State College, Kirksville, Mo., was the center for rush preparation early in the fall. The informal rush party was a "Mad Hatter's Ball." In an AST "Wonderland," members and rushees joined in Mad Hatter's Golf, Queen's Croquet, Wonders Dancing and group singing.

The formal party, "Wishing," included a wish ceremony for rushees with each receiving a special note from an AST. Our advisor, Dr. Glenda Clyde, was given a wish message from the chapter.

AST participated in Greek Week activities, sponsoring Sharon Dawson as Greek Queen candidate. Twelve new pledges were welcomed into the chapter room at the close of rush season.

The pledges marched as Tau Toads in the homecoming parade, "Hopping for a Bulldog Victory." Glenda Lauer was the Alpha Sigma Tau Homecoming Queen candidate.

Founders' Day and homecoming were celebrated by alumnae and collegiate members at a joint banquet. Alpha Sigma

Off to a Good Start Alpha Upsilon, Bryant College, Providence, R.I., began its first year as a chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau with great success. Norma Pellitier reigned as Miss Bryant--Fall Weekend. She competed in evening gown and swim suit competition.

This spring Norma will compete in the Miss Rhode Island Universe pageant. If she is successful then she will compete in the Miss U.S.A. pageant.

Our formal rush party was also a huge success. The 60 girls that attended joined in our merrymaking and listened to the speeches that were given.

The follow-up to our rush party was our annual Christmas Tea. It centered around the theme "Tis the Night Before Pledging" in which all the sisters took part. At the end of the tea, favors were given to the rushees.

Alpha Phi f/isits Hospitalized f7eterans After the excitement of installation into the national sorority last spring, the Alpha Phis at West Chester State College, West Chester, Pa., were anxious not to lose any of this enthusiasm. This led to many weekends in Ocean City, N.J., for some sun and some gatherings with many of the sisters.

With the beginning of school, plans for fall rushing and pledging were begun.

Within one week rushing was over and we welcomed nine pledges.

Our nine new sisters are: Marge Horney, Linda Herrlinger, Janet Hunter, Initiation dinner for Alpha Phis fall pledge class

Elaine Labiak, Maureen Laughlin, Monica Troilo, Mary Anne Tracy, Carol Spogen and Jeanne Funk. The Collegeville Inn was the site for our initiation dinner.

Our next project was a float for the homecoming parade (called Rampage Weekend at West Chester). This was our first try at float building and there was a lot of fun and a lot of tears involved in the making of our Dudley-Do-Right float.

One sister, Diana DiMayo, was in the Rampage Queen's court.

Before we left for Thanksgiving recess, the Alpha Phis participated in the annual Penny Collection. The pennies collected were used to supply families in the surrounding areas with Thangsgiving dinners.

In the excitement and hustle-bustle of the Christmas season, the sisters took one night to visit the Valley Forge General Hospital. Many wounded from Vietnam are sent here. It was a unique experience for all of us. No one knew what to expect when we first arrived, so we spent the time talking to the men and listening to them telling us about their families and home. Everyone was enthusiastic after the visit so another one is planned for the spring.

Our sorority Christmas party was delightful as usual. It was the last time the sisters got together before Christmas. We sang carols, talked and exchanged gag gifts.

Two sisters became sweethearts of campus fraternities this semester. Barbie Cummings is the sweetheart of Sigma Tau Gamma, and Diana DiMayo is the sweetheart of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Spring semester promises many things besides the advent of spring. There will be a formal spring rush, a semi-formal dinner dance, a picnic and another float for Greek Weekend among other things.

It was a busy semester, but we are looking forward to another that will be just as busy.

October found us traveling to Princeton to meet with Barbara Warden . Barbara and her husband recently purchased a lovely big home there, and we enjoyed touring all three floors.

We were determined that this year we would celebrate Founders' Day with Omicron collegiates and Princeton Alumnae, and though the banquet had to be postponed a week from the original date, most of our members were able to change other plans and attend. How rewarding it was, for the program was excellent and the candle lighting ceremony impressive. All Concord Alumnae can be proud of Omicron Chapter.

Jane Patsel was hostess for the December meeting at her home on Bluefield College campus, Bluefield, Virginia . For the third year, we bought and wrapped gifts for a young school girl in our community. We are grateful for the opportunity to begin our holidays in this manner.

Boston ...

Making A Debut On November 20, 1969, the Boston Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was born. The chapter was installed by Mrs. Gay Willerton in the Northeastern University Chapel. The charter members, all from the newly established Alpha Chi Chapter at Northeastern are Miss Nancy A. Gillis, Miss Esther G. Gistis, Miss Susan Jones, Miss Elizabeth A. Pembroke, Miss Agnes A. Provenzano, Miss Susan D. Thomas, Mrs. Georgia Chivakos Wetherbee, and Miss Dana Whealan . Miss Elizabeth Pembroke is serving as Alumnae Adviser to the Alpha Chi Chaper.

Early December found us at Nancy Gillis' house in Cambridge for our first official meeting. Needless to say, most of the time was spent catching up on gossip. Later in the month, some of us attended Alpha Chi's Christmas Dinner Dance at the King's Grant Motor Inn in Danvers. Though the gathering was small, it was good seeing our sisters again .

Best wishes from the newly formed chapter go out to the former Georgia Chivakos who became Mrs. T. Byron Wetherbee last August and to Lois Veinotte and to Susan Thomas who will both be married this year.

The Boston Alumnae Chapter would like to invite all Alpha Sigma Tau alumnae in their area to their meetings.

Information on upcoming events can be obtained by contacting the President, Elizabeth Pembroke, 3 Everett Avenue, Dorchester, Mass. 02125.

~ Detroit I . .. Spotlight on Founde:rs' Day

Arthur Ruhl. Founders' Day Speaker

The fall issue of the ANCHOR had some news of special interest to all Detroit alumnae. News from one of our most dedicated members, Kathleen Monticello, who wrote, "When an AST Family Moves to Scotland." We have had cards and short notes from Kathleen but to read about their happy family life away from home was music to our ears.

Kathleen had served AST until the time she moved . She had just finished her year as president of our chapter. She always kept close contact with Theta Chapter at Wayne State, her alma mater, assisting with the re-activation of the group in 1968. Last, but not least, was her interest and devotion to the Alpha Theta Chapter. This chapter was organized in 1959 at the University of Detroit and Kathleen was the main key in its founding. She served as the chapter's alumnae adviser until her departure for Scotland. She was never too busy, even caring for eight children, to do what she could for AST. As the saying goes, "The busiest people can accomplish the most."

Hurry back, Kathleen, your AST sisters miss you.

Our first fall meeting of Detroit I was held at the home of Milly Cislo in September. We greeted a number of new alumnae from Theta Chapter. Plans were made for our Founders' Day luncheon

66

and other important events of the year. After the business meeting we adjourned for a social hour with much chatter and delicious refreshments. In October we journeyed to Dorothy Woods' home in Grosse Pointe. The Theta actives of Wayne State were our special guests.

Rose Marie Schmidt showed slides taken by Joan Dailey at our February, 1969 dance at Georgian Inn. Our Social Service Chairman, Barbara Davis, was busy that evening collecting paperback books and magazines for the soldiers in Vietnam.

Juanita Bouffard announced that Panhellenic cookbooks of desserts and beverages were being ordered for our social service purposes. The profit from their sale was used last year for the Retarded Children's Day Center. We enjoyed our social hour and refreshments with the Thetas and hope to have them as our guests again soon.

Over eighty ASTs from the metropolitan area gathered in November for our Founders' Day luncheon. Our president, Joan Dailey and chairman, Juanita Bouffard chose the Bloomfield Canopy in Bloomfield Hills for the party. Arthur Ruhl, assistant to Judge Lincoln of the Detroit Juvenile Court was our guest speaker. He gave a very interesting and entertaining account of the happenings of the wards of the court. Their needs are many and it saddened our hearts to hear of some of the neglected cases.

Before we realized it, the December date of the Christmas party was here.

It was an unusually fine evening to go to Warren to Ladene Schoen's home. Her lovely family room with tree and decorations put us in the Christmas spirit. We had fun exchanging gifts by the give and A CHOR

take method. Delicious Christmas fruit cakes that our hostess had baked for the occasion triggered the exchange of some Christmas recipes before we left. Hila Collins hosted our January meeting. The program, provided by the Detroit Gas Company, featured kitchen planning.

Colored slides showed how beautiful and practical kitchens can be. Our attendance

was good in spite of our frigid weather.

Conversation of our holiday vocations brightened the social hour.

We are all looking forward to our annual dinner dance in February.

Congratulations are in order for Kathryn Daggy who was recently promoted to principal in Lamphere.

~ Detroit Ill ... Theater Parties Successful As soon as the fall has made its entrance and the leaf harvest begins, Detroit III Alumnae once again enjoy the fine companionship and spirit of our monthly meetings.

We began a little early this year by attending an outstandingly funny presentation of the University of Detroit summer theater, "Once Upon a Mattress."

The September meeting was held at the apartment of Dorothy Robertson.

Planning the social calendar was the chief concern of this get-together.

The following month we enjoyed the hospitality of Judy Mandia in working out our part of the Founders' Day preparations. Special thanks go to President Mary Beth Anderson for her efforts in conjunction with Detroit I's Joan Dailey in arranging a lovely celebration at the

Bloomfield Canopy. Everyone found the speaker, Arthur Ruhl of the Wayne County Juvenile Court, outstanding.

We decided on another theater party in December for members and their husbands since our first one was so well received. This time we attended the Meadowbrook Theater's production of T. S. Eliot's "The Cocktail Party."

Our social service project for the sorority philanthropy, Pine Mountain Settlement School, is the topic of our January meeting, which is to be held at the home of Carol Napier. We will see slides of the school and decide upon an appropriate gift.

Our pride in our group grows each year. A successful alumnae group requires members who care. To all of these hard workers we say a special thank you.

~ Emporia ... Focus on Collegiates With the beginning of the fall semester the Emporia Alumnae Chapter voted to focus its efforts on the collegiate chapter.

It was felt that the presence of a collegiate chapter in our community warranted our close cooperation and support more than our own social activities. To this end five alumnae are currently acting on the advisory board of the Iota Chapter which meets with actives on the board monthly. Three alumnae are workANCHOR

ing in offices which require even closer work with the collegiates. These are: Pat Bridgeman, house treasurer; Barbara Burns, house manager; Beth Anderson. faculty advisor.

The social activities for the Emporia Alumnae Chapter also were keyed to the collegiate chapter. Alumnae assisted with or participated in the open house during rush week, homecoming tea, Pledge Sneak, Founders' Day celebration and 67

Christmas party.

A porch sale was held in November to help swell the coffers. Happily the effort was well rewarded.

During the past year three new members were added to the Alumnae Chapter. They are: Melva (Long) Swanson, Beth (Mohr) Anderson, and Sally (Clerico) Conrad. All are former Iotas who have recently moved back to Emporia.

Flint Alumnae have been busy and active this year with many interesting projects. September found us greeting a new member, Natalie Jones, from Marietta, Ohio, who is a first year teacher and such a delightful addition. We put her to work immediately on the annual attic sale which greatly aided our treasury.

October meeting launched the career of my mother, Mrs. Arthur Gleason, who with my father has recently retired from an entire life in show business, as a speaker. We heard about her many experiences on USO all over the world.

Our Founders' Day cooperative dinner was a success with us all renewing our pledge to AST and refreshing our knowledge with a "test" on AST facts.

As our local social service project this year we not only brought a gift for fun at Christmas, but one to share for the patients at a local hospital whose inhabitants are mostly aged and alone.

A January silent auction raised additional monies for our treasury.

Our future plans include a baby in February for our president, Carol Goecker and a wedding in the spring for Natalie Jones.

We were all saddened by the passing after the Christmas holidays of Fred Hokes, husband of our beloved, active Eloise. He had had a joyous Christmas season and then died in his sleep.

Recognizing Fifty Year Me~bers Lansing Alumnae met in October at the home of Allura Custer, under whose capable leadership we are enjoying an interesting and productive year.

In November, Founders' Day was observed at the home of Gertrude Kimmich.

Mrs. Lee Durham, special services director of the Lansing YWCA, met with us telling of her work as well as reporting on the recipient of our camp scholarship.

We felt that this was a worthy project as this girl could not have attended otherwise.

In December, we enjoyed a Christmas luncheon at the new Lansing Elks' Club located in a lovely setting on Grand River. Exchange of gifts and visiting was in keeping with the Christmas season.

We are holding the three winter meetings in the afternoon as an experiment in promoting attendance. So many of us aren't very courageous when it comes to night driving in winter.

Selling Gwen Frostic papers as well as an occasional White Elephant sale is helping increase our treasury.

Several members are hopefully planning to attend the National Convention in Toronto.

There are five Golden Anniversary AST members (fifty years) in our alumnae group-three Alphas and two Betas.

Dale Springer, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Springer (Maxine Herrick) has a unique law job. Following graduation from Albion College, he obtained his law degree from the University of Chicago.

After working for a law firm in New York City, he joined Mobilization for Youth, an Office of Economic Opportunity program, representing poor people in civic matters. His organization works to promote economic development in the inner city area through cooperative corporations. Dale has also helped in a narcotic rehabilitation program for outh under AN JIOR

sixteen years of age. In this day of headlines concerning the youthful minority interested in their own selfish gratification, it is good to hear about young people such as Dale who are willing and decicated enough to work for the improvement of youth.

Handicrafts Bring Profit Last fall the Greater Little Rock Alumnae Chapter sponsored a combined card party and boutique to benefit Youth Home, which is a home for emotionally disturbed adolescent girls. Members were busy during October and November making Humpty Dumpty dolls, burlap flower arrangements, wooden plaques, crocheted items, and various Christmas decorations.

The party was a big success and netted a handsome profit for our social service project.

In September, one of our members, Mrs. Raymond Shoptaw presented an interesting program on the many uses of gas. Our annual Christmas party was held in the Dixon home. Bridge and other games were played while we munched on cookies, dips and chips. We are now busily planning and looking forward to State Day, to be held in the spring.

Long Distance Travelers The Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau opened the year 19691970 in September with a luncheon at the home of Ruth Tokheim, president. Since our membership is so scattered and come such great distances to meetings, it was ANCHOR

decided to hold meetings every other month on the third Saturday of the month starting with September.

Our social service project is an annual gift to the Pine Mountain School.

We would be delighted to welcome any interested ASTs in the Los Angeles area.

Muncie. • • Diamonds Spark Interest Muncie Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority got off to a good start by having a program planning session for their first meeting in September.

With the help of all we were able to plan programs which would be of interest to everyone in our group.

Our Alpha Alpha Chapter entertained with a tea in their lovely suite after the football game on Homecoming Day at Ball State University. Because of rain the usual parade could not be held in the morning but spirits could not be dampened when meeting visiting sisters and friends .

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" and we think so too! Harry Gaunt Jewelers from Muncie gave the program for our Founders' Day meeting at the Top Hat. We enjoyed the interesting talk and slides on diamonds and the style show afterward of diamonds and some other very unusual jewelry. One lucky Alpha Alpha sister won a diamond pendant.

Fun, games and a serious note too were all part of the Christmas program given

by Ethel Himelick and Nell Young. We all felt a little younger hearing Christmas stories and singing carols on that snowy Saturday afternoon.

For 1970 we will have a program with the Child Guidance Clinic, card party senior brunch and a sharing of recently 69

read books. The highlight of every spring is our smorgasbord in the Alpha Alpha suite. We hope to have a pool party in the summer. Of course we are all looking forward to seeing our sisters at National Convention in August.

~New Orleans ...

Surprise Gift Presentation The 1969-70 happenings of the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter began with a combination business and pleasure meeting at the lovely home of Joyce Sutter.

Plans were made for our money making projects. We planned to have a Tupperware party and to raffle off a case of liquor.

The October card party given by Camille Gennaro proved to be very entertaining and quite successful.

November found the group traveling to Hammond to take part in the Founders' Day celebration. At this time, the Phis were both delighted and surprised with a silver punch bowl and ladle which was presented to them by the Alumnae Chapter.

The December meeting and Christmas party was hosted by Annette LeBlanc.

At this time, we learned the results of our Tupperware party and also concluded our raffle. Cindy Krobert, our president, was the lucky winner. Plans were made for our 1970 social service project.

Congratulations go to Jo Nunez, who has a fine baby boy, Jay Nunez.

~Norfolk ...

Highlights Holiday Panhellenic Fall's beginning for the Norfolk Alumnae was highlighted in September 70

by a luncheon at the Ranch House Restaurant on Granby Street. After friendly reunions and a delicious meal, we made plans for the year's activities.

Our October meeting was held in Diane Forest's home. Following our business meeting we had a Tupperware party which benefitted our members as well as our chapter's finances .

Mrs. Sandy Drake was hostess for our Founders' Day luncheon in November.

Sandy certainly earned the title of gourmet that day. Her lovely home was the setting for our inspirational candlelighting ceremony.

The Panhellenic luncheon in December was the beginning of many social events enjoyed by our members during the Christmas season. It was held at the Lafayette Yacht and Country Club with the Dean from Old Dominion University as the guest speaker.

Once again we will be privileged to have Mrs. Keenan from the Story-telling League at our January meeting at Jean Shield's house.

Philadelphia ...

Variety is the Spice Autumn scenery, antique collecting, Scandinavian travelog, Chinese Auction -the variety which has spiced our earlier Philadelphia Alumnae programming continues this season. For our October meeting we made what is becoming a traditional biennial trip through the autumn-tinged countryside for lunch at Carolyn Potser's in Quakertown. Catching up on all of the summer activities and filling out our meeting schedule for the year was all the program needed for this very pleasant day.

Our Newark sisters joined us in celebrating Founders' Day on November 8 at a luncheon at the Top of the Barclay.

It's not possible to become a knowledgeable antique collector in one afternoon but Mrs. Ottley, our speaker of the da gave us some valuable verbal and vi ual pointers to help us in that direction.

ANCHOR

Already decorated for Christmas, Betty Maisch's lovely apartment in Jenkintown was the setting for our luncheon on December 6. Betty showed us some color slides of her Scandinavian trip, and we even saw the shop where the Christmas cloth which covered the luncheon table had been purchased. We've been selling Gwen Frostic stationery to raise money for our Convention Fund. This year's calendar was very lovely and quite easy to sell; so the entire order disappeared quickly . We've found this to be an easy and pleasant fund-raising project.

Meetings Produce Newcomers New Hobbies!

Headline Activities July saw the new officers preparing to make this the most interesting year. In September we had a progressive supper at Carolyn Alexander and Alice Vit's .

Donkey favors were made by Suzanne Gerlt and Pat Hoffelder. The collegians were a welcome addition to this getacquainted evening.

Everyone enjoyed vacation pictures in October. June McCarthy's tour of Toronto was especially interesting as a preparation for the convention. We also decided to help the emotionally disturbed children this year. The first step was the presentation of a $100 check to the St. Louis Board of Education to finance milk and cookie breaks for the ten classrooms of emotionally disturbed children.

Mary Lou Scott entertained in November. A representative of a liquid embroidery painting company stimulated a new hobby for many. Arline Clark did a wonderful job of arranging the Founders' Day Banquet. We had a delightful demonstration of Japanese flower arranging.

The collegians had a sing-along program.

Shirley Bird ANCHOR

We, of the Tri-City Alumnae Chapter, are happy to welcome old friends back as newcomers. A nice addition to our group has been those returning from travels abroad and state-side due to husbands' job changes.

New babies also are making the scene again this fall. Answering to roll call are: Thomas Mott Hanson, son of Nancy and Dale Hanson; John William Eadie, son of Jean and Jack Eadie; Gregory Edward Siems, son of Fran and Ken Siems; and Amy Elizabeth Bailey, daughter of Roni and Bill Bailey.

Getting all of our members flocked together and getting caught up on the latest happenings were not the only business at hand. A September board meeting was held at the home of Fran Siems. Our calendar for the year was planned with many good ideas and much enthusiasm.

A general meeting was held in October at Jackie Willman's home. While sipping hot cider, we made plans for Homecoming at C.M.U., Founders' Day and Christmas.

Several members traveled to Mount Pleasant for our annual joint observation 71

of Founders' Day with Beta Chapter. It was, as always, a delightful evening and well-worth the travel time!

November also found us busily getting ready for a heavenly holiday season.

From midst wheat paste, old sheeting and gold spray paint emerged lovely golden Christmas angels. Success was had by all and our homes were beautifully adorned for the Yuletide.

Washington ...

Volunteers for Children September not only brought a touch of Indian summer into the Washington area, but also brought the Washington Alumnae Chapter together for the first fall meeting, a pot luck dinner, at the home of Betty Sue Glaeser in Fairfax, Virginia.

The October meeting was held at the home of Helen Sours and revolved around our social service projects. Mrs. Sarah Lahr, chairman of the Committee on Childhood Mental Health of the Northern Virginia Mental Health Association, spoke to us about the efforts being made to help emotionally ill children. She gave us many valuable ideas, and we are hoping to become involved in projects with emotionally ill children in the Washington, D. C. area this coming year.

Plans have been made with the National Institutes of Health to assist at

Luci Baldi was hostess for our annual Founders' Day meeting in November.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious dishes prepared by the members present. The evening was highlighted by an impressive candle lighting ceremony that reaffirmed our commitment to the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau. Our annual Christmas party climaxed an enjoyable series of fall meetings. Charlotte Douglas, our hostess for this affair, also celebrated her birthday and was surprised by a shower of birthday greetings and good wishes.

We hope the New Year will be a happy and productive one for all.

In October, we decided to sell the Panhellenic meat cookbooks for our money making project. Pat Shibley ordered them and we polished up on our salesmanship and sold all of the cookbooks.

In November, we celebrated Founders' Day with a ceremony and delicious food at a popular steak house.

Ypsilanti-Ann-Arbor ...

Show Christmas Goodies The Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae swung into action in September with a games night at the abode of yours truly.

We were especially happy to have Fay Mitchell back with us that evening. It had been almost a year since we had attended a meeting in her new home in St. Clair Shores.

Our Tupperware party at the home of Elaine Habel was very successful in bringing in those much needed funds.

The annual Christmas bazaar was held at the home of Sally Pearson. We all came home with hand knit and hand sewn articles, as well as some very elegant Christmas decorations and baked goods.

We always look forward to our auction at this function. I am always amazed at the talents of my sisters for they show so much beauty and originality.

Founders' Day was observed by the Alumnae Chapter and the Alpha Chapter of Eastern Michigan University with a dinner at Charles McKenny Hall on the

University campus. Martha Belknap, national and local social service chairman spoke concerning the continuity of Alpha Sigma Tau. Then the traditional candlelighting service was performed .

Christmas dessert with the actives was held December third . This is indeed my favorite time of the year. The table was so festive looking spread with the great variety of delectable desserts the alumnae

@tllemotiam It is with great sadness that we report the death of Dorothy Bennett Robinson (Mrs. S . Carl) on May 12, 1970 after a brief illness. Until her retirement from the National Council in 1959, Dorothy had devoted much of her time and talent to Alpha Sigma Tau, serving as a national vice-president in charge of extension, National President and Central Office Executive. She was responsible for the organization of several collegiate and alumnae chapters and as Executive Secretary established and expanded the record system of the national organization.

A member of Pi Chapter, Dorothy graduated from Harris Teachers' College in St. Louis with honors and after her marriage to Carl Robinson extended her interests to include church activities and the Philharmonic Society, serving as president of both the Women's Society of Christian Service and the Mothercraft Class of St. John's Methodist Church.

DOROTHY BENNETT ROBINSON

National President 1949-1955

Those of us who were privileged to know and work with Dorothy will remember her for her warm affection, keen sense of humor and complete dedication to the service of mankind. All Alpha Sigma Taus can be prouder and happier in their membership because of the example she set. Her influence ... her ideas . .. her ideals have been projected toward the future to live forever in the lives of others. We are grateful for the privilege of her friendship.

(Con tinued from Page 17)

lJouthand Societl] ... tion. They not only advocate helping others, but they also give willingly of their time to perform these services and thus implement their beliefs to a greater extent than we did.

An interpretation of my remarks as reflecting an optimistic faith in the young people of today would be quite correct.

Despite the reprehensible actions of some of your youth, I believe that the overwhelming majority of them are at least as mature and responsible as we were at their age, and perhaps more so. In youth lies our hope of reversing some undesirable trends and of effecting some muchneeded changes.

I find that the words of a popular song summarize our greatest needs today in stating that "what the world needs now is love, sweet love ... " I would differ from the rather common view of love as sweet and sentimental, however, and define it in the terms Erich Fromm, used in The Art of Loving. According to Fromm, genuine mature love consists of three aspects.

Value Others

First of these is caring or concern. This means valuing oneself and others as worthwhile persons, and caring deeply about their growth and well-being, not just about their immediate or superficial pleasure. This concern must be demonstrated as well as felt and should extend in all directions: to those we envy as well as those we pity, to the rich and the poor, to the victims of criminal acts as well as their perpetrators.

It needs to include also an active concern about trends that I see as undesirable: the burgeoning of movies, books,

76

plays and programs that focus on perversion; the distasteful crudity and vulga~ty - particularly regarding sex - that mcreasingly affront us in many media; the acceding to minority pressure groups that propagandize and distort issues and manage to outshout and outmaneuver the more quiet passive majority.

In essence, we need to care more deeply about people and about what happens to them, and if we care enough we will take appropriate action.

A second facet of love, according to Fromm, is knowledge . We need to know ourselves- who we are, what we can and cannot do well, what we think and believe, what kind of person each of us is and hopes to become. We need also to know others- both generally, in terms of human motivation and behavior, and specifically, in terms of what a particular individual is like.

Distorted Perceptions

We tend to view ourselves and others "through a glass darkly," and either will not try or are not able to see what is really true. The better we know ourselves "as is" the less we have to behave "as if" our often distorted perceptions were accurate appraisals of reality.

We see ourselves and others as we need to see them, rather than as we and they actually are. Greater depth of knowledge and greater accuracy of perceptions would make for more honest and comfortable human relationships, and these we certainly need.

Akin to both knowledge and concern is a component of love that is implied but not specifically mentioned by Fromm: empathy or compassion. This involves the ability and the inclination to put oneself in another's place.

It is not always easy, but it is essential to develop this " psychological resonance" with the viewpoints and feelings of others if we are to be able to relate to them.

Empathy does not imply agreement with another person's beliefs or actions, but it does connote a warmth and a sen itivity to people that are badly needed in our increasingly computerized and deper onalized way of life.

AN HOR

Concern, knowledge and empathy involve another facet of love: responsibility.

This is usually interpreted as assuming responsibilities for ourselves our behavior, and our various obligations. I agree that much improvement is needed in these areas.

We have become too prone to blame our shortcomings and our failures on our parent's misguided handling when we were children, on poor schools and incompetent teachers and on the example or advice of others. It is time to stop making excuses for and to start making improvements in ourselves, for we are neither puppets nor robots.

Fromm gives the term "responsibility" a somewhat different meaning in that he defines it as responding to our own and others' needs, trying to meet them in desirable ways, recognizing both sets of needs as we speak and act.

It is relatively easy to see that we should be commended when we do something well, for we acknowledge the fact that everyone needs a word of appreciation, but how often do we recognize and respond to the other person's needs for commendation? Praise is good for us, we say, but it might make them become conceited- and we must not cause that to happen!

Love Includes Respect

Finally- and this is crucial-love includes respect. This does not mean fear or awe, but rather a view of each person - and of oneself- as an individual in his own right, and the ability to permit each person to be himself, even though he may need to alter some of his behavior.

Prerequisite to a respect for others is respect for oneself.

If we thus respect ourselves, we will find the courage to risk unpopularity by taking a stand on matters of ethics and principles. We will be able to resist temptations that may range from spreading unkind rumors to experimenting with LSD. We will speak out against violence and vulgarity, against dishonesty and injustice. We will express pride in our American heritage. We will be compelled ANCHOR

to stand up with the increasingly vocal majority and say firmly, "this we believe in," rather than join the aggressive minority in saying, "this we protest against ."

Such a respect for ourselves cannot help but bring about a respect for other people and thus lead us to behave more ethically and responsibly in all of our relationships.

We will consider more seriously the matter of freedoms and rights, recognizing that freedom does not imply license to do exactly as one pleases without regard for the effect our actions may have on others.

We will make sure that increase in the freedom of an individual or group does not mean decrease in the freedom of another. We will grant to others the same freedoms and rights that we desire for ourselves, and we will accept the responsibilities that must accompany every freedom and right.

No Carbon Copies

We will not exploit others to our own advantage. We will not insist that others become carbon copies of ourselves. We will not ridicule or degrade others, or in any way diminish their self-respect. In short, we will treat others as we would like to be treated- a concept of human relationships that antedates the Christian era- and a way of living based on this ideal may well be prerequisite to our survival as a civilization.

Can we hope to reach this goal of love that involves, for ourselves and others, the essential components of concern, knowledge, empathy, responsibility and respect? Or is it " the impossible dream" ?

I cannot believe that it is impossible, and I know that a dream can become a reality if we work toward that end.

The kind of love that "the world needs now" can indeed become a tangible force for the good of mankind, but only if each of us begins now, in our everyday lives, to develop its various facets and to demonstrate that in our words and actions.

Like Henry David Thoreau, I firmly believe that " If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
