1981 Spring ANCHOR by Alpha Sigma Tau National Sorority

Birmingham Chosen As National Headquarters Site The National Council, over the last few years, has studied intensively, investigated and reviewed sites for and the purchase of a National Headquarters. The National Headquarters Site Committee was charged with the responsibility of seeking from alumnae their interest in preparing necessary information for a Headquarters to be located in their metropolitan area. The Headquarters Site Committee has reported regularly to the Natio nal Co uncil on the information learned. At the National Council Meeting in July 1980, the National Council determined from information presented that one of two cities (Birmingham, Alabama or Indianapolis, Indiana ) would be the location of the National Headquarters. The decision was made February 14, 1981 that the National Headquarters be located in Birmingham, Alabama. The search is presently being conducted for the appropriate building meeting the needs of Alpha Sigma Tau that is within the financial means of the sorority. An announcement will be made to the members when the transaction has been legally resolved.

Confrontation:

Kathy Orrison By Rochelle A. Hargis (AA ' 67 ) When you first see her, you might expect Kathy Orrison to be a rising young executive in a banking or financial institution, a lawyer, or perhaps a buyer or department head for a clothing store. One of the last things you would think this petite, 33-year-old would do is to lead a strike of fellow workers. But that's just what happened to Kathy Orrison, Alpha Alpha chapter and 1969 graduate of Ball State University, after she

became president o f her teacher's association. On August 1, 1979, when Kathy assumed the top position of the Indianapolis Education Association (lEA), her life changed radically. On September 4, 1979, on behalf of 70% of the 3 ,400-member lEA, she announced that public school teachers had voted not to return to their classrooms. Although she worried how she would handle the public relations aspect and the press conferences that became a part of her daily life, Kathy recalls, "I surprised myself.

THE AN H R

Everything was happening so fast that I didn't have time to sit back and wonder if I could do it, but I never thought about not going on with it." Speaking on the nightly news programs and preparing copy on the progress of the teacher's strike for the daily newspapers did bring Kathy added benefits of hearing from AST sisters who wrote to congratulate her on the election and to encourage her during this time. "It made me feel good that sisters would take the time to write, " she said. During the nearly month-long strike, most of her days began long before the sun rose and she continued to work well past midnight. Because of the hectic schedule, many days Kathy had time for only one meal. It also meant the end of her social life and personal relaxation. The strike meant suffering the same economic hardships that lEA teachers were encountering. "I felt the lowest when my house payment came due and the money just wasn't there," she explains. "Even though I am paid by association dues, I did not accept any salary during the strike. And I went three paychecks, the same as everyone else, without money. The walkout ended on October 3, 1979, and the ensuing months have been spent re-building membership, working with staff members and committee chairmen to organize and present programs beneficial to the teaching profession, easing problems and answering questions which resulted from the closing of schools and re-assignment of pupils and teachers effective with the opening of school. In addition , Kathy was re-elected lEA president and is guiding teachers once again during the 1980-81 school year. She grew up on an 850-acre grain farm near Decatur, Illinois, and during her high school years classmates voted her "most likely to become the first woman governor. " Always active, Kathy pledged Alpha Sigma Tau at Ball State University because, as she puts it, "AST is a comfortable group. yve always had time for each other and trted to make everyone feel welcome. "I liked AST best because we did not have the pressures placed on us that girls in other sororities seemed to have," she added. "I believe that joining a sorority prepares you for future roles. It gives you the chance to develop your leadership potential through officer and committee roles. "Membership gets a person in tune with how to work in a group situation and to deal with a variety of personalities. You learn how to make compromises for the good of the group as a whole. "It would have been harder to be lEA president without having been a sorority member because of the purpose that group membership offers." From her collegiate days, Kathy recalls

other benefits of sorority membership. "You develop a cohesive unit of friends that you can count on and people you have things in common with. Rush is an excellent opportunity and example of presenting AST as a sisterhood to prospective members and to develop and to use social graces because you are meeting new people and you want these young women to feel comfortable with you and to leave your party with a positive outlook about AST and sorority life in general. "AST gives you exposure to the philanthropic side of life that carries over into adulthood through professional, civic, cultural, and community activities that you undertake later. . "AST was a major part of my undergraduate life. It helped prepare me in so many ways and gave me friendships that have continued beyond college days. "

Do you know how to RUSH? by Peg Honeker, National Rush Chairman

In word association the term "rushing" produces synonyms such as parties, "conversations, pledges, introductions, themes, and preferentials." But while everyone's impression (and opinion!) of rush varies, it is important for all of us to recognize one fact. In its most concise and wieldy terms rush is actually an attitude. The attitude with which a membership approaches rush determines the success of that rush. A positive, enthusiastic attitude produces a successful rush. The impact of the membership's attitude on potential members is clear and strong. Each member should feel the inherent responsibility and cultivate a proper attitude toward rush . In turn, the rush director nourishes that growth and directs it in its purpose. The best advertisement that a chapter can have is enthusiastic members. Friends who obviously enjoy being with each other-sisters, who stress the positive aspects of sorority life-leaders who take the opportunity to demonstrate to prospective members the benefits of being Greek are unfailing salesmen of Alpha Sigma Tau. Their enthusiasm makes the sorority desirable to others and their knowledge closes the sale. These members are priceless as promoters.

Developing and nuturing a positive, zealous attitude can be a most difficult task. For the enthusiasm comes so naturally to many members. So wherein does the difficulty Ufe? Sometimes the enthusiasm has been shelved between the late nights, projects, programs, and meetings and it needs only to be re-awakened. Too often personal problems stand between a member's enjoyment of rush . Whatever the case, avenues are open to rush directors to mend sagging rush morale. Often there are underlying problems which cause a chapter's apathy toward rush. If every rush program is a copy of the one before it, rush can become monotonous. Breathing new life through new ideas and approaches to rush can solve this boredom. Can you identify with these symptoms which deflate enthusiasm? Lack of organization, poor planning, and poor communication lines between rush director and chapter, leaving members uninformed about the rush program and policies-regardless of the cause, the rush director must be aware of the illnesses and find a cure. The role of each rush director is vital to the longevity of the chapter and shouldn't be taken lightly or with any sort of "it'll-all-come-out-in-the-wash" attitude. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In the long line of a chapter's rush directors this is also true. A chapter should accept no less than 100% from the rush director; and the rush director should be able to expect the same from each member. The most common problem facing an individual member, especially a new one, is how to rush . Often members are insecure in their knowledge, and unsure of their abilities to encourage outsiders to join the sorority. The key word is communicating-merely communicating information about AST and the reasons why you joined in a manner that would interest someone who isn't aware of the many benefits of sorority life. Be open , and warm: make a new friend. Approach rush as a way to meet a whole range of new people; some of whom will become sisters, some friends, and some just passing acquaintances. You will find that seen in this perspective, rush will be a pleasant experience and not one to dread and avoid at all costs (and fines) ! Individual participation in rush is essential. Pledges do not join sororities because of group interaction. A rush survey at East Carolina University conducted by the Interfraternity Council showed that people who pledge are generally influenced by individuals-friends made previous to , or during, the rush period. These friendships play a great part in

swaying the pledge's decision. Which is not to say that all group activities are pointless-to the contrary, they provide the vehicle for communication-but that personal interaction is essential for every rush program. And knowledgeable friendly sisters are necessary for personal interaction. In fact, in this manner each sister is capable of pledging one rushee-thereby proof positive that one-on-one rushing works. As previously mentioned, the effect of new ideas and approaches to the rush program is significant. More importantly the implementation by the rush director of ideas from other members can draw the membership into the rush program and increase morale. The chapter will more actively support what they themselves help to create! By involving the membership in the planning stages there is more likelihood that they will uphold their end in the final stages. Make rush as enjoyable as possible. Design the program not only around the needs of the rushees, but around the needs of the sisters as well . Incorporate them and their ideas in the rush plans- It is amazing how easily this can help dispell any doubts and outbreaks of "rushaphobia"! There are other standard ways of lifting sagging rush spirits. The music chairman should be incorporated to unite the chapter through song. A variety of songs sung at rush functions show the various aspects of sorority life. Peppy party songs sung at rush workshops keep sisters working and enjoying the activities. A meaningful song sung before a serious party reminds sisters of the importance of rush and the importance of their relationships with each other. And finally, a spirited song sung at Panhellenic or Inter-Greek functions shows the pride of AST to both the members and the outside world. Pride is important. It is important in everyday life in the sorority and it is especially important in rush. It can be exhibited in song and it can be exhibited in composites, trophies, jackets, sweatshirts, and colors. It should be announced loud and clear on the house , dorm, apartment or room . There should be no doubt that a rushee entering a room for a rush function is entering an AST room , and there

THE ANCHOR

should be no doubt that each of the sisters is a member of that sorority. The pride of each sister should be almost tangible ; it should reach out to unite them all-to bring them together in a way that is compelling to a potential member. Pride more than any other emotion can create an enthusiastic rusher. There is no such animal as an unenthusiastic AST Perhaps the enthusiasm is hidden or buried or just needs some polishing up. It's there. Draw it out, whether through song or creativity or pride or downright pestering. But draw it out and shine it up. And then warn all the other sororities; because an AST shine can be blinding!!

Phi members put on a happy face for rushees.

"Take A Chance" on Alpha Sigma Tau's Future! Beauty is a quality which can be expressed in many formsmusic, poetry, sculpture, a painting-to mention only a few. Undoubtedly each one of us finds that our lives are enhanced and enriched by the enjoyment of some or all of the various art forms. We also are informed these days that original works of art are worthwhile investments. The sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau now have the dual opportunity of being the possible recipient of the original oil painting (which you see here) and also of investing in our sorority's future. The artist, Mr. Carl W Illig, is no stranger to western New York art enthusiasts. Originally Mr. Illig studied commercial art, but soon realized that his interest lay with the fine arts. His teacher for five years was Arthur Kowalski, an outstanding artist who had studied under John Carlson , director of an outdoor painting summer colony at Woodstock, New York. Later, Mr. Illig studied for many summers with Emile A. Gruppe of East Gloucester, Massachusetts. He has done some fine paintings of the wharves and fishing boats in the Rockport, Massachusetts area, in addition to his many rural landscapes. Mr. Illig has won numerous awards. He is the only area artist to have been awarded for three consecutive years the Tricolor ribbon for the best oil painting at the Erie County Fair Art Exhibit. This fair is the largest county fair in the United States and attracts widespread participation. The artist has maintained a studio in his home on Prospect Avenue, East Aurora, New York for 29 years and regularly conducts classes in landscape painting. The chairman of the Alpha Sigma Tau Headquarters Fund is proud to be able to donate this beautiful painting (dimensions, including frame-23" by 29") of autumn in the country. We hope that it will provide the momentum for a highly successful spring " fund campaign." The campaign rules are simple. Each $10.00 contribution will entitle you to one "chance" to win this painting. As an added incentive, should you desire to make a $100.00 contribution , you will receive 15, rather than 10, chances to win . We hope that you will send in your contributions promptly, no later than May 15. At that time a name will be drawn and the winner will be notified.

Alumnae celebrate Founder's Day Beckley The Beckley Chapter is very pleased to report that three sisters have joined the group this year: Cynthia Spangler, Ann Marie Alessi, and Kathy Quesenberry. The alums had another successful doughnut sale in October, even though the weekend was cold and rainy. In keeping with tradition, the sorority sent Christmas tree ornaments to sisters who had babies in 1980. Those sisters were Mary Beth Jenkins, Sue Hames Dick, and Mary Masters Broyles. On Founder's Day alums were able to present $482 to Omicron Chapter. This money will be placed in the AST Building Fund which will be used toward building a sorority lodge in the near future. At the December meeting new officers were elected as the business meeting was combined with a Christmas party given by Cindy Holland, treasurer. The alums will meet at the Arabian Hut in Beckley for a dinner meeting.

Buffalo alumnae Helene Blackledge and Dolores Schmidt enjoy refreshments at their October meeting.

Birmingham These Southern sisters began the year with a planning meeting in September followed with a demonstration on counted cross stitch from program chairman Delores Falls. Founder's Day was celebrated in style with a luncheon at The Club atop Birmingham's Red Mountain. Beta Zeta's from the University of Alabama in Birmingham joined in the festivities and awards presentations. This year's recipient of the outstanding alumnae award was Holly McDonald.

State College at Buffalo There's just no stopping the Sigmas. With the Epsilon pledge class of fifteen , sisters have hardly had time to breathe. Fall rush was quite an event--Sigmas turned rush parties into something rather extraordinary. With the traditional displayof sorority articles and scrapbook (and homemade cookies) , the chapter presented a slide show to the song "Sailing." Rushees saw pictures of AST at their best-from Greek game competitions to social events. October 27-31 was a most successful social service effort. This week was designated "Cancer Week" by AST. With collections, displays and demonstrations, (such as some of the girls walking around school dressed as mice selling lollipops) members raised a fantastic amount of money. Cancer Society officials were so impressed with the outcome, they requested that Social Service Chairman, Regina Fay, become one of their representatives. The most memorable night of the semester

Alumnae were there to cheer the team on. We won 34 to 0. After the game, members joined together in the sorority room for a ceremony. Each pledge class gathered as a representative lit a single candle. At the close of the ceremony Upsilon honored chapter President Beth Martin to show the appreciation for everything she had done. Upsilon chapter opened the Fall semester with 36 beautiful Alpha Tau pledges. Enthusiastic Beth Steinman, pledge trainer, took them under her wing and began teaching them about AST.

October brought the usual homecoming uproar at Southeastern, and PHis were especially excited-three of the seven girls on the court were ASTs. Loretta Luchuck was crowned queen, and Lori Slattery and Melanie Pierce were maids on her court. In November Phi Chapter's second annual Rock-A-Thon was held. For 24 hours, all sisters rocked in rocking chairs in the Student Union Ballroom. Proceeds received from pledges went to the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

Henderson State On November 4th it rained marshmallows on the Henderson State University campus due to four Alpha Taus seeding the clouds. For about a week the Ta us were buried in about seven thousand marshmallows that covered the lobby and halls of their dorm. The girls gathered inJI:le lobby of the dorm and wrote things such as "HSU #1 ," and "Go Reddies," (the name of the home team) on the marshmallows. At noon, on the 4th, three planes carrying four Taus flew over the campus surprising many HSU students with the marshmallow surprise. The event was a project to earn points to sponsor a candidate for queen for homecoming activities. All clubs on campus perform activities to earn points to sponsor their candidate for homecoming queen, and the six clubs with the most points is allowed to sponsor a girl. Judges assessed the events and awarded the points. Alpha Sigma Tau's candidate was one of the contestants. The student body then voted and the girl with the most points was the queen. The project was a success! Instead of having snowball fights .. . well you can imagine. -Debbie Roberts

During formal rush with the theme "Turn of the Century Taus," we obtained six wonderful pledges. Seven more girls were obtained through our informal rush. For a grand total of 13 great pledges. As a pledge project our pledges worked with the Sigma Sigma Sigma pledges at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Houston Oilers. They vended hot dogs, cokes, nachoes, and peanuts throughout the stands. It was a very successful project. Homecoming cups were sold the week before Homecoming as a money-making project for the chapter. Our walking entry in the Ho mecoming parade was to the theme of "South Pacific. " Those participating wore navy blue pants, white sailor tops and sailor hats. A couple of girls dressed in grass skirts. On October 22 our pledges did a skit to "Oh Lord It's Hard to be Humble" before aU of Panhellenic. They also performed this skit on National Founder's Day. The weekend of November 1 and 2, national inspection was held. National Founder's Day was celebrated with Sharon Richards and Judy Sparks; our advisors, Jeanne Bamford and Nancy Cockran; and alumnae. Our alums served a delicious lunch of sandwiches, potato salad, baked beans, and relish plates. For dessert a beautiful two-layer cake was enjoyed. After lunch sorority songs were sung and then a candlelighting ceremony was held. On December 7, our fall pledge class will go active and Alum Appreciation will be celebrated. -Denise Boland

Northeast Missouri After the third semester of a revitalized pledge program, Alpha Sigma reports no sister has depledged. Pledges are the future of each chapter, and the future looks brighter than ever. How's it done? The program was based on the belief that each sister is an individual and must be treated as such. Along with the traditional little sis-big sis ceremony, each pledge discovered she also had a "secret sis." After setting up a communication center for the pledges, they were able to write to their secret sis about any problems they had or write just for fun . Secret sisters provided encouragement through returning letters and giving their respective pledge little gifts throughout the pledge season. Secret sisters were revealed after initiation. Next, weekly pledge activities were improved. Each activity centered around the pledges and were created so that each member of the chapter could learn something. Some get-togethers were just for fun-singing or signing pledge books. To stress scholarship, each pledge was encouraged to attend study-skills sessio ns which the university provided. Of course, no pledge season can be successful without successful rushes, and this fall Alpha Sigma was blessed with nine pledges, plus six more in mid-November. Ghosts and goblins came from everywhere as Alpha Sigma celebrated Halloween to gether; and sisters enjoyed two mixers and the homecoming hayride. Alpha Sigma was "in the news" when they were awarded a trophy for contributing the most to the local United Way campaign. Also in the headlines were Toni Johnson and Ruth Selby when they won the All-University Doubles Tennis competition in intramuals. December plans include: initiation ... o fficer elections . . . and a Christmas gift exchange.

Edinboro State The Alpha Taus of Edinboro State College began the semester with a very busy, productive and successful Homecoming. The sisters ran senior Maria Thomas as their Homecoming Queen Candidate. Long nights were spent making badges, billboards, and signs for Maria's campaign, not to mention all the hard work that went into building the homecoming float. All of the efforts paid off, though , when Maria won the title of Homecoming Queen 1980 and the AST float (based on the theme, "Through the Eyes of a Child") won third place! Maria was not the only Edinboro ASTin the spotlight this semester, however. Norma Black was chosen Sweetheart of Theta Chi fraternity, Sue Garbart was initiated into Phi Eta Sigma (the National Freshman Honor Society), and Pat Seymour was initiated as a member of Pi Alpha Theta (the International Honor Society in history) . Alumna sisters' achievements include Lynn Pavlik as the new Beta District President and Janis Thoma as the new Alpha Tau Assistant Chapter Adviros. Homecoming activities were followed up by bid night and the beginning of pledging for five new Alpha Taus: Janet Mikula, Marge Buhl, Rhonda Morrow, Diance Bunce, and Doris Boyd. The pledges took part in bake sales, raffles, kidnaps, a scavenger hunt, and two new Alpha Tau "firsts." One new achievement of the sisters was their first annual Parent's Day Tea. Parents and family were invited to meet all of the sisters and to learn what AST is about. Also, for the first time the Alpha Taus held their own Founder's Day Tea and Rededication Ceremony with the Erie Alumnae. Regional Leadership Workshop was one of the highlights of the semester. Alpha Tau sent seven sisters, one pledge, and our devoted Chapter Advisor, Mrs. Charlene Fumi, 450 miles to Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The sisters were exhausted, but they learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. The sisters left RLW enthusiastic and ready for next semester.

Rush began soon after and bid day arrived with nine additional pledges: Tami Usher, Penny Hemmings, Mariann Ennis, Yvonne Lapinski, Cris Boroli, Kim Zapparo, Val Valiga, Traci Travers and Charlene George. Under the revised pledging program , members stress positive reinforcement combined with the forces of rush chairman Jeannette DeSandre and pledge trainer Kathy Kraus. November's dance marathon for Muscular Dystrophy brought sister Kathy Kraus and Beta Pi Sigma brother Joe Grattan together for 52 hours of dancing and $1 ,500 for first-place . Members celebrated Founder's Day in style with a dinner party at an exclusive downtown restaurant. After dinner the group returned to the AST wing of the dorm and held a candlelight ceremony. -Julie Ritchey

Shippensburg State Beta Epsilon began the semester with a plant sale headed by ways and means chairman , Patty Peters. What a success! A summer raffle also provided the chapter with enough money to keep treasurer, Geri Ann Heffren, smiling. Barb Orr, rush chairman , illustrated her creativity with a variety of super rushes--from a Hawaiian luau to a country -western

hoedown where sisters donned hats and holsters. Informal rush, "American Graffitti," had sisters boppin' to the rockin' SO's tunes, and formal rush's theme was "Anchors Aweigh with AST." Beta Epsilons are proud of their pledges: Lisa Grimm, Gina Lutz, Mary Nell, Kathy Reilly, Ann Schoenstein and Nancy Voltz. The social service committee, headed by Suzanne Clay, began the semester by babysitting on campus. The next project was the annual Halloween party for the children at Scotland School. Dressed as ghosts, goblins and scary creatures, the Taus and the children played games and bobbed for apples. The day was a heart-warm ing success as each child was given a bag of candy and a hug before he went home. Other events: ushering at a campus play and raising money for the Women in Need organization ... softball intramurals ... a four-way party with Acacia, Kappa Sigma and Alpha Sigma ... exc hanges with Theta Chi and Kappa S igma ... a Halloween date party ... and Barb Orr was named one of the top five candidates for homecoming queen (out of 24 girls) ...

Lowell Fall rush for Beta Taus proved to be the most successful in four years. Welcome to ten energetic and enthusiastic pledges. Members met these women through the spring freshmen orientation, advertising in the school newspaper, creative posters and personal contacts. Lowell's Greek system does no t have formal rush , so we were able to invite potential pledges to parties, beach days and pizza nights during the summer. When school began, AST articles appeared weekly in the school paper. Posters with friendly sayings such as, "Join the circle of friendship-AST." were put up. Personal interactions seem to be the most favorable to us. An informal popcorn and punch party was the first activity for the semester. Each sister discussed an aspect of AST and related a fun story about being a Greek. The next night was the invitational tea. To learn more about each other, sisters and rushees played the button game. As each woman entered the room she was asked to take a handful of buttons. For each button she had the rushee said something about themselves. Beta Tau's have planned a "Trim a Tree with a

The chapter set goals for the year, and each sister examined her personal goals and committments to Alpha Sigma Tau . After the retreat, the Sorority Growth & Development Committee planned several opportunities for the members to re-examine their growth as individuals and as sisters. A high point of the semester was when Miss Patricia Nate, Iota district president, visited the

chapter for a weekend in October. She shared an evening dedicated to sorority growth and development with the cha pter, and later relaxed with the group at a pizza party. Besides the pizza party, everyone's favorite activity of the evening was the time for shared affirmation and reminiscence within the pledge classes. On November 4, the committee planned a rededication program and a buffet dinner with Beta Theta alumnae and members from the Beta Lambda chapter. Social Service projects for the semester in-路 eluded an ongoing tutoring program at St. Peter-St. Joseph Orphanage; sponsoring a wheelchair dance for the handicapped; a campus coffeehouse; and sponsoring a family for the Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives.

Millersville State Beta Io ta opened the semester with a change in its advisory staff. Mr. Richard Meily of the MSC P.lemen tary education department, Mrs. Chris Paules of the Lancaster Alumnae Club and Lois Reck, a Beta Iota alumna all offered their services as advisers. Trying something a little different, BI rushed into the semester with a "Munch with the AST Bunch" tea followed by a "Tau Pajama Party." Successful rushing and pledging lead to the initiation of six new sisters: Wendy Tibbits, Cindy Fessler, Karen Hetman, Dawn Clouser, Deb Sunday, and Casey Smith. Ho meco ming weekend, though dampened by rain , brought the chapter first place in the float contest. (They worked with the Phi Sigma Pi national honor fratern ity to build the winning entry.) Community service was a primary concern for the chapter as it joined with the Wickers fraternity to rake leaves for area residents on weekends. They also spent several weeknights at a telephone campaign for the Mother's . March of the March of Dimes and sold hundreds of raffle tickets for the benefit of college pan hellenic's Greek Council Scholarship Fund. As a special treat, the chapter also went Christmas carolling through the community. Fundraising was a must, and the chapter came through with a strong series of dorm sales, a craft sale, popcorn sale, ball point pen sale and a delivery service for treats and messages at Thanksgiving. The highlight of the semester came when BI worked with the Kappa Beta fraternity as caddies for an international bridge tournament held at a local resort. The activity more than tripled the chapter's treasury, and every sister participated in the project. -Mary Versprille

Each week at business meetings, the pledge class awarded a new sister with the "Cracked Turtle." This award went to the girl who did something "unusual" during the week. Initiation and the chapter's second anniversary banquet was a semester highlight thanks to the hard work and leadership of Margaret Hayes and Jo Hoffman. A very special award was made to Donna Bytella, Beta Mu's first President and a founding sister. This award was appropriately named the "Donna Lynn Bytella Award" and will be given each Fall to the sister who has shown outstanding service. Not only has Donna been involved with Beta Mu, but she has been active in campus-wide activities. She was campus chairman of the Homecoming Committee and a final candidate for Homecoming Queen for the past two years. Donna will be graduating in December and will be missed by everyone. Beta Mu continues working at the Wicomico Civic Center where they are employed as hostesses. Members worked concerts and the promotion of Beatlemania. The girls sold raffle tickets among other duties and were rewarded by having their names printed on them. Working at the Civic Center gives the girls an opportunity to keep the treasury in the black and receive plenty of publicity. The community of Salisbury erected a billboard in Beta Mu's honor to thank us for our community efforts. The billboard was located across from the campus and has brought us recognition and many comments.

Her visit was an inspiration to members of Beta Nu. Sisters participated in an officer's workshop and worked on new ideas for rush. The Beta Nu chapter elected officers at the annual meeting. They are: JoAnne Dunstan, president; Karen Yarnall, vice president; Sue Reed, treasurer; Laurie Morse, secretary; and Gina Huhn, corresponding secretary. After installation of new officers, members initiated the new sisters. Topping off the festivities, sisters exchanged Christmas gifts and sang carols.

Alpha District President, Karen Perkins, paid MTU Taus a visit the weekend of October 24-26. Friday evening the officers held a potluck dinner, and, on Saturday, each girl met with Miss Perkins, giving us the chance to learn from her experience and become friends. Winter quarter has been extra special for all the sisters, thus far. Receiving our charter and being initiated as members was rewarding and exciting. We extend our deepest thanks to Mrs. Sybil King, Mrs. Gail Scott, Miss Mary Ellen Willmitch, Mrs. Glee Doyle, and Mrs. Marty Belnap, who made our weekend a memory to be treasured always. Of course, visiting MTU is no easy task. Mrs. Belnap, Mrs. Doyle, and Miss Willmitch arrived the earliest-and were on hand for the initiation of the sisters, and the pinning of pledges. Later, Mrs. King and Mrs. Scott arrived, and after a short rest we all attended the banquet, which began at 6:30p.m. December 6. The program consisted of informative and amusing speeches, lovely gifts (for which we are all grateful), and then dinner. These events were followed by a reception dance, to which all members of the Greek system were invited. -Annette Moore

ADA JANE HARVEY, UPSILON Alpha Sigma Taus shared the deep sadness and great loss of Dr. Ada Jane Harvey March 14, 1980. In 1921 when Ada Jane Harvey went to Arkansas State Teachers College, a group of girls asked her to sponsor their literary society. That group, years later, turned into a Greek letter local sorority, which in turn, in 1935, became Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Ada Jane was initiated with the rest of the girls and served as their adviser for twenty years until she retired in 1955. That same year she accepted the appointment as National Cultural Program Chairman, serving until 1967. The program outlines which she prepared were included in expansion material sent to deans and many compliments have been received from these college administrators on the quality of our material. Dr. Harvey's life work was teaching and from 1921 until her retirement she was head of the Modern Language Department which she established at Arkansas State. Since a language teacher needs to travel , Dr. Harvey spent many summers and sabbatical leaves studying in foreign countries. She attended the Sorbonne in Paris, and received diplomas from the University of Paris and the Institut de Phonetique. Dr. Harvey taught a summer session at the Universidad de San Marcos in Lima. She received her bachelor' s degree in French and Spanish from Occidental College in Los Angeles, a Master' s degree from the University of Chicago and her Ph.D. from New York University. She had taught in Santa Fe and Little Rock.

LUCILE HULL STEEN BUTTERFIELD Alpha Sigma Tau members across the country were saddened by the death of Lucile Hull Steen Butterfield on September 18th in Fort Myers, Florida. From the time she was initiated into AST as a charter member of Sigma in June, 1925, Lucile was an active, loyal and loving sister who participated and contributed to the growth of Sigma, Buffalo Alumnae, and the National Staff for almost 50 years. She served as Buffalo Alumnae president 1943-1945 and was an officer and committee chairman on numerous occasions. She was a gracious and generous hostess for many of our loveliest meetings, rush parties and other local activities for almost five decades. She joined the National Staff as Sigma National Alumnae Representative in January, 1944, and as first National Social

Service Chairman who established our national philanthropic projects. Lucile was appointed in September, 1944 and served with outstanding success until August, 1949. During those five years she was able to expand and interpret our Social Service aim to all chapters by her sincere interest. Lucile was presented the Ada A. Norton Alumnae Award at the 1960 Convention in Washington, D.C. From 1949-1962 she served with distinction as National Vice president and President of the Second District. During that time , she was responsible for organizing and administering collegiate/ and alumnae chapters in New York, Pennsylvania, and New England. She installed numerous chapters in the area and participated in many expansion trips. She continued her national service as National Chaplain from 1956-58 and 1965-70. Lucile had a deep interest in Christian Education. She directed a church school at LaFayette Presbyterian Church in Buffalo for six years, served on the Executive Board of Presbytery in children's work, and taught in the Council of Churches School of Religion at Wooster College in Ohio. After the retirement of her husband, Joe Steen, they moved to Boca Raton, Florida. Joe was a strong supporter of ALT, attending many conventions, where he organized men's activities. Mr. Steen died in 1970, soon after their return from the AST Toronto Convention and the next year Lucile moved to Shell Point Village, Ft. Myers, Florida. There she met Emmett Butterfield, a retired/ assistant school superintendent from Cleveland, Ohiothey were married in 1974. When Lucile moved to Florida, her greatest regret was leaving " her girls" of Sigma and Buffalo Alumnae. In every letter she expressed her love and joy in hearing good news from Buffalo. District Meetings and National Conventions were always a time of great expectations and accomplishments for her. Our last reunion with her was at the Birmingham Convention of 1976, which she made a special effort to attend, despite her illness. The memory of Lucile and her many contributions to AST is an inspiration to all of us! It was entirely in keeping with her love for Alpha Sigma Tau and devotion to its ideals and purposes that Lucile left a generous bequest to the National Headquarters Fund in her will. BEVERLY Y.

Alum News

Ypsilanti

{continued from pg. 14)

September found sisters gathered at the home of Marilyn Christy discussing plans for the 1980-81. Members were brought up to date on convention news from Martha Belknap and Carlotta Mace. The October meering was at the home of Mary Lorenz where the "girls" sipped cider and planned the annual Halloween Party for residents at Yorkwood Center in Ypsilanti. The young people bobbed for apples and put on makeup for a "best mask contest." November brought several alumnae groups together as Founder's Day was celebrated with a luncheon held at the Dearborn Inn . The November meeting was quite heart-warming as members listened to the Pine Mounain social service presentation given by Beverly Rusnock. The group repledged monetary support to purchase supplies needed for its library. Hostess for the evening was Carol Boisenault. Decembers plans: meeting at the home of Martha Belknap to exchange gifts and desserts.

Hilton Repertory Theatre. Members assisted Panhellenic Representative Pat Hoffelder with the Scholarship Luncheon. An Alpha Sigma Collegian received one of the scholarships. This summer included a trip to Pittsburgh for Convention, and a picnic at Stacy Park for family and friends. The fall started with a few short meetings and some nice get togethers. Maxine Madden from San Jaun Puerto Rico came to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the St. Louis Alumnae Chapter at Lillian Schippers home. The Midwest Harmony provided entertainment at the Founder's Day Dinner hosted by Edwardsville Alumnae and the Beta Eta Chapter. This year the Lanfersieck Award will be given to the Beta Eta Top Tau. Future plans: A Christmas party for husbands and friends at Alice \lit's home; a Christmas party for the alumnae; and a play at Westport Playhouse.
