I am writing you in the interests of the Pi Theta Phi Fraternity 路which is a local in the University of California at Los Angeles, and which is petitioning for a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. I have knmvn several members of the Phi Theta Phi Fraternity the past fe\v years and I have had the opportunity to work with some of them in connection \vith student self-government on our campus.

I have also had the opportunity to watch the general development of the organization and I feel that I am qualified to express an opinion regarding their general characters. I believe that the quality of the fraternity is largely determined by its leaders and Pi Theta Phi has had a number of very strong upper classmen since I have known them. I am glad to testify that the Pi Theta Phi Fraternity is in good standing in every respect and that it has at all times co-operated vvith the administration. I believe that they are worthy of your careful consideration. Sincerely yours,

To Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity: I am pleased to commend to you Pi Theta Phi Fraternity, which is petitioning for a charter in your national organization. The members of this group have entered practically every student activity with a spirit of service to the University and to the fraternity. Several of the illen are leaders in their various fields. This the fraternity scholarship ;werage is not particularly high; but experience on our campus shows that a group may make a poor showing one year, it may later rank near the head of the list, and vice versa. At the present time the University of California at Los Angeles is approaching the most significant period in its development. I feel strongly that national organizations ;vhich establish themselves on the ne;v campus simultaneously with the transfer of the University are laying the foundation for a successful future. I am sure th.1t Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity vmuld be worthily represented on our campus by Pi

To the Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha: The local fraternity, Pi Theta Phi, at the Univer.sity of California Los Angeles has asked me to write a letter which it might incorporate in its formal petition. Since I without reservation, recommended this local group to the nearby Zetas. I am glad of this opportunity to recommend it to the fraternity as a whole. Pi Theta Phi has wholeheartedly enterd into the spirit of petitioning for a charter in Lambda Chi Alpha and has eagerly looked forward to the day when it wouid be allowed to present its formal petition. The group does not stand as high scholastically as it might, but the attitude is one which will undoubtedlv raise the present rating. Financially the local group has a sound foundation and has a growing hous-e building fund. The internal organization as a whole is well managed by a cabinet of efficient and conscientious officers. The Los Angeles Alumni Association which has sponsored Pi Theta Phi has aided the group in many of the details of organization. Brother LeRoy W. Brooks h.1s been especially active in making suggestions for improvement and has acted in an advisory capacity. The University of California at Los Angeles is unquestionably one of the most progressive institutions of higher learning on the Pacific Coast and is a wonderful field for fraternity expansion as is evidenced by the number of charters recently granted by other national fraternities. The new \Vestwood campus is an outstanding mark of progress in the comparatively young life of the Vniversity. I cannot help but feel that a chapter at U. C. L. A. would materially strengthen our fraternity and form an import3nt link in the widespread chain of Zetas in the far West. Yours in Z. A. X., REUBEN C. YOUNGQUIST 1 raveling Secretary

of the University of California would not be complete without a brief resume of the main events leading up to 1919, when the Los Angeles State Normal School became a College.

HE HISTORY

Forty-six years ago there were in California four c1t1es each larger than Los Angeles-San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento-the population of Los Angeles then being about eleven thousand. It was in the spring session of 1881 that the State Legislature provided for the establishment of the Los Angeles State Normal School. At that time there was but one normal school in California. This had been established in San Francisco in 1862, but had been afterwards removed to San .Jose. In the year 1880 the San .Jose Normal School building was destroyed by fire. This accident appeared to the people of Southern California to offer an opportunity for their urging a claim to some of the State institutions, and an effort was made to have the Normal School built in Los Angeles. Through this southern influence the second State Normal School was founded in the second pueblo of California-"Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles"-as the first normal school had been established in the first pueblo, "San Jose de Guadalupe." The cornerstone of the new buildings at Los Angeles was laid Saturday, December 7th, 1881, and the formal opening occurred on September 9th, 1882. From the time of its establishment, the school had a steady growth and it was soon seen that a new site would be needed to accommodate the increasing number of students. In 1914, after the State Legislature had appropriated $100,000 and authorized the Board of Trustees to sell the old buildings and grounds for $500,000, the Normal School was located at its new quarters on North Vermont Avenue, the present site of the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1917, Dr. Earnest C. Moore was called from Harvard and installed as president of the school. He started to work at once to create in Los Angeles a great Teacher's College under the auspices of the Regents of the Univrsity of California at Berkeley. It was, upon investigation, thought best to recommend not only the Teacher's College in Los Angeles, but also the establishment of the first two years of the University work. This recommendation was accepted by the Board of Regents and proper legislation was completed in 1919. The Normal School was then succeeded by the new institution known as the Southern Branch of the University of California. With the Teacher's College and a two-year course in Liberal Arts many new students were attracted to the school and it was only a short time until the registration totaled nearly 4,000 students with the capacity of the buildings set at 2,500. This rapidity of increase in enrollment has been a marked feature throughout the life of the institution and when the Board

of Regents in 1923 established a full four-year course in the College of Letters and Science it was evident that the addition of the third and fourth year work would result in a greater increase in registrants in the already overcrowded school.

With this problem before them a committee appointed by the Board of Regents submitted the following program as a possible solution of this situation: 1. The appointment by the President of a committee of men of prominence in the Southern California affairs to secure the gift of an adequate new site for the Southern Branch. 2. After such a site has been secured, the presentation of a bill to the 1925 legislature, providing the sum of $1,500,000 for the construction of buildings on said site to be used by the departments of the Southern Branch other than the Teacher's College. As soon as the committee was appointed and its purpose made public, offers of sites began to come in. They came from Santa Barba.ra on the north and San Diego on the south. In all, seventeen sites were submitted and put under consideration of the committee. After much deliberation it was finally decided to recommend the Westwood area to the Board of Regents. It was then up to the regents to look into all of the sites submitted and select one that would fill all necessary requirements. After a complete survey and careful investigations it was decided to locate the new university at Westwood, a suburb of Los Angeles.

With the opening of the fall semester in September, 1929, the new university at Westwood will open its doors to students. YVith 380 acres valued at $2,500,000, being utilized in its construction, the new university will be one of the largest and most beautiful educational plants in the country. When entirely completed, the new home at Westwood will represent a $30,000,000 project.

Situated in the heart of Westwood hills, twelve miles from Los Angeles and three miles from Hollywood, the new campus presents a beautiful setting. From almost any position on the campus a view may be had of the Pacific, and a fifteen-minute walk will take one into the green canyons of Beverly Hills. The cool invigorating ocean breeze gives to the location a perfect climate. Because of the suitability to the rolling knolls of Westwood, the Lombard architectural style of the early Christian period has been chosen for the buildings. In an attempt to have the campus architecturally perfect, the Northern Italian atmosphere will be prevalent at all times. Tapestry brick

f7f;l

and ornamental terra cotta are the materials used, for they most nearly represent the original building stuffs. Even the entrance bridge and brick pathways will be in keeping with the atmosphere of Northern Italy. The next problem was the raising of $1,319,000, in order that the 3 SOacre site might be presented gratuitously to the State of California. Plans were formulated by the committee to the effect that Los Angeles was to raise $700,000, towards the fund, Santa Monica, $120,000; Beverly Hills, $100,000, and Venice, $50,000. Students of the University participated in all four campaigns, distributing windshield stickers, posters, literature, and holding a gigantic rally on the eve of the Los Angeles election. The result of the four elections was overwhelming in favor of the bonds, for the people realized the great value of the new university to the Southland. The appropriation of funds to finance the building was the next step to be considered, and activity was centered, therefore, on the Proposition 10 Campaign, which would grant $3,000,000 to the University of California at Los Angeles for structural purposes. A labor day drive was held on October 8th, 1926, to clean up the new grounds and to open Proposition 10 campaign formally. Throughout the month of October and until November 2nd, the chief topic of campus interest was on the bond drive, and every student aided in advertising the issue, upon which the future of Westwood rested. The result was that the bonds passed by an easy two to one majority and the visionary Westwood of our dreams became the practical Westwood of today. \Vork on the first unit of the new university is now practically completed. The $110,000 entrance bridge, the library and Royce Hall, valued at $1,900,000 are well under construction. Of these two buildings, the latter of which will be the auditorium and class room building, will face each other across the main quadrangle, and will form the center of campus activities. The other two buildings which are well along in completion are the Physics and Chemistry buildings, valued at $638,875. Included in the former will be the biology department. There will be forty-two buildings upon the completion of the new campus.

To the students and the alumni of the university who have treasured our present campus with its shadowed arcades, its flower-bordered pathways, and its groves of eucalyptus trees, the main quadrangle at Westwood will be an artistic source of delight. Two hundred and twenty feet wide, and a quarter of a mile long, the main quad-to-be presents infinite possibilities for landscaping achievements. Pathways of paving brick, flower beds of varied hues, level green lawns, and low shrubbery are expected to make the area a charming center of campus life. Somewhat to the south and west of the academic center, but on the same level, is the prospective site of the proposed Students' Union Building. Tentative plans for this $300,000 edifice, which is to be ready for occupation in September, include adequate headquarters for student activities, recreation and club rooms, and eating places. The location is very near that of the athletic area, where a track, baseball diamond, practice fields, drill field and a stadium will occupy one hundred acres of grounds. Ample space has been set aside at \Vestwood for dormitories and faculty residences, and eighty-five acres of beautiful residential sites are

being reserved for the faculty alone. Rows of lots, forming fraternity and sorority rows, are being purchased by the fraternities and sororities of the university.

The future possibilities of the new university at \Vestwood are practically unlimited. Leading educators are agreed that the university will become one of the leading educational centers west of the Mississippi. In anticipation of a wonderful future, we are eagerly awaiting the opening of the new campus. Due to the geographical and physical features of the State of California and the apportionment of the population, it is vitally necessary that there be a state university in the southern part of the state. This need has been realized for quite some time and when the State Legislature saw fit to establish in Southern California a State University, its future was immediately assured. When the University was created it was out of necessity and had a definite place to fill. This has been proven by the fact that within a period of eight years it has grown from a State Teachers' College to one of the four largest universities on the Pacific Coast. The University of California at Los Angeles owes in a large measure, the success of its rise to this position to an unusually favorable set of conditions that attended its growth. The location and environment of the university is the finest that could be desired by any educational institution. It is located in Los Angeles, a city of over 1,350,000 inhabitants. This city has enjoyed a phenomenal and substantial growth as evidenced by building permits, bank clearings and population increase. The population of Los Angeles is increasing at a very rapid rate, having practically trebled itself in the last ten years, and it seems that the growth of this university is concomitant with this increase. Throughout Southern California there seems to be an especiallv enthusiastic spirit in all educational lines and due to this fact Los Angeles is fast becoming one of the outstanding centers of educational progress of the world. There are in Southern California 225 public senior high schools, eight colleges, ten junior colleges, and two major universities. This fact explains the attention devoted to education. All phases of Fine Arts and Science are finding in Southern California an ideal workshop and an impetus and stimulus that is conducive to outstanding development. Within a radius of a few miles of the University of California at Los Angeles can be found several examples of educational development along these lines that are of particular interest to the university.

campus s;tt: at Westwood. This project represents the most elaborate of its kind ever developed and provides a wonderful natural laboratory right at the very door of the university students. The famous Huntington Library which comprises one of the world's most treasured art and literary collections is easily accessible from the campus. Students find a visit to this library a rare education in itself. In the realm of music nothing more could be desired than can be found at the Hollywood Bowl where each summer the famous "Symphonies Under the Stars" are conducted under the direction of the world's renowned conductors. This offers to students a splendid opportunity to study music at its best. The City of Hollywood, which is really the home of the University of California at Los Angeles, besides being noted for its .Motion Picture Industry is fast becoming the most brilliant Art center of the west. On every hand can be found developments of the greatest educational value which go far in attracting students to this locality to attend the university. The University of California at Los Angeles today, on a basis of regular full time registration, ranks fourteenth in size among all the universities of the United States, having a total enrollment of 5,859 regular full time students. The university at present is composed of two colleges each demanding fifteen Carnegie units for entrance. Both the college of Letters and Science and the Teachers' College require four years of work for the Bachelor Degree. In the College of Letters and Science there are registered 3,832 .students. This is the fifth largest College of Letters and Science in the United States, a position which has been attained in a period of six years. In addition to the regular liberal arts and teachers' college work, courses in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-law, and the first two years of most other professional courses are given. Each year the University is broadening its curriculum so that within a very few years its instruction will be complete. This is one of the big features of the Westwood expansion program; in order that the university may expand to include schools covering practically every field of human enterprise such as agriculture, commerce, dentistry, engineering, law pharmacy, religion, etc.

fact relative to the University is the unusually active interest that national organizations have shown in this campus. lVIore national organizations of note have established chapters here within six years than usually are granted to one university in twenty years. Already there are seventeen national fraternities, thirty-three national sororities, and seventeen national honorary and professional organizations. If the national interest and scholastic progress that has been manifested here, augmented by the brilliant future that is assured by the move to the new campus at \Vestwood in 1929, is any criterion, it is safe to say that no other university can possible offer a national fraternity a richer or more fertile field for extension than does the University of California at Los Ang路eles. NE SIGNIFICANT

At the present time there are on the campus of the University of California at Los Angeles twenty-seven recognized fraternities. Of these, ten are local organizations petitioning or being colonized by national fraternities. All women's fraternities who are members of the national Pan-Hellenic Association have chapters on the campus. In addition there are numerous other nationals and locals. The fraternities on the campus are rer-ardcd in a very favorable light by the administration. The Director of the University in particular has been very sympathetic towards the organizations. All that can possibly be done by the administration for the organizations has been done, and the fraternities have only to present their problems to the Dean of Men for his solution, advice, or counsel. JVIuch of this favorable regard is due to the fact that the groups have at all times co-operated with the faculty and the administration in all lines of college activity.

attempt has been made at flare, nor has needless expense been incurred, yet the quality of good-time had, has created a very favorable campus reputation. House dances have always been a little better, smokers a bit more entertaining, and other affairs a trifle more interesting than the average. Pi Theta Phi has lead in an attempt to make inter-fraternity relations more cordial. During the school year 1927-28, while Brother Frank Crosby was president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, he installed a system of Exchange lunches between fraternities. It was very well received and did much to create cordiality between men of the different fraternities. In the course of the same year, Pi Theta Phi· turned to campus politics with a greater vengeance. In a hotly contested campaign, the man supported by the fraternity for the office of President of the Associated Students was elected. So much prestige was gained thereby that Brother Crosby, a short time later, was elected to the Presidency of the Senior Class of 1929. Other members have since become prominent in student committee work, as well as in their usual activities. Thus, it is felt that the fraternity has attained a unique position in campus affairs, and it will continue to strive to maintain and better that position. In short, nothing can be left undone which would make Pi Theta Phi more befitting of a chapter in Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.

dent of the Southern California Inter-fraternity Council, and Dr. Bennet M. Allen, the fraternity's faculty advisor, it was decided to approach the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity-and it may be here asserted that Pi Theta Phi has since had good reason to fcel mighty proud of that decision. Immediately, Mr. LeRoy W. Brooks, Alpha-Psi of Lambda Chi Alpha, Secretary of the Southern California Interfraternity Alumni Association, was invited to meet the members of Pi Theta Phi, and his acceptance of that invitation may well mark the turning point in the career of this fraternity. Soon after school closed in June, word was received from the Central Office that work might be begun toward some day gaining a charter in Lambda Chi Alpha. Since then, Mr. Brooks has been with the group constantly, advising as to ways and means, suggesting changes, and in every possible way aiding in its development. The fraternity is greatly indebted to him for all that he has done-a debt which it cannot begin to repay. During the Christmas holidays, 1927, the Southern California Alumni Association of Lambda Chi Alpha voted unanimously to back Pi Theta Phi in their effort to secure affiliation with their fraternity, and that support has been unselfishly given. There is seldom a meeting at which at least one member of Lambda Chi is not present, freely offering his services, and advice, which are as freely received. This constant contact and association has made it possible for Pi Theta Phi to develop its administration along the same lines followed by Lambda Chi Alpha. An attempt has been made to create an internal organization similar to that existant in chapters of the National, so that Pi Theta Phi could become a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha in everything but name; a goal well-worth attaining. All expenses and income are budgeted monthly; all bills are paid on the tenth of the following month, and checks must be signed by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Chancellor, an Alumnus, thereby insuring outside control. The automatic suspension clause for financial reasons used by Lambda Chi Alpha has been incorporated in the by-laws and strictly adhered to. A bank balance has been amassed to meet petitioning expenses, over and above ordinary expenditures, in order that no strain would be felt when the time came to present the petition. As a result, it is felt that Pi Theta Phi can put forth a document worthy of Lambda Chi Alpha, and a financial statement of equal satisfaction. When, in the Spring of 1928, the Board of Regents determined, definitely, that the date for location at the new campus at Westwood would be the Fall of 1929, it was decided to begin creating a fund with which to buy property there. Accordingly, a special assessment was included in the budget each month and placed in the hands of Mr. Brooks as trustee. Part of the regular initiation fee also goes into this fund. These moneys have been deposited in a savings account in order that when the time is propitious and the proper location has been secured, property may be bought with cash. Last June the fratrenity took over a legitimate theatre in Hollywood, in order to raise additional money for the house-fund. The brothers, through a little hard work, managed a profit of $137.00, and gained a fund of expeience which will aid in netting an even greater amount on the next attempt, planned for the near future. Pi Theta Phi has, throughout its existence, been many-sided in its ventures and its membership has been well-rounded. In social affairs, no

THE FALL of 1925, there was born at the University of California. at Los Angeles, a new era of development. The semester had opened With an enrollment of over 5000. Talk of a new and larger campus was prevalent. Recognition had already been given to the caliber of the University Faculty and to the excellent scholastic standing they had inspired. Now, U. C. L.A. was becoming one to be reckoned with in inter-collegiate competition. Those athletically inclined, were pointing toward a berth in the Pacific Coast Conference; yet, to carry on the work ahead, there were but sixteen men's social fraternities. Student government officers were swamped and pleaded for more such organizations to help bear the burden.

In response to that plea, ten men, already proven Californians, banded together and applied to the Student Welfare Board for permission to petition for a fraternity charter. Recommendation was immedately given, and on .1'\ovember 7, 1925, Pi Theta Phi became a reality. Temporary chapter quarters were obtained on a street adjoining the campus, new men were pledged, and active work was begun to further the interests of California. As has been inferred, the Charter members of this group were prominent in campus activity. One was Captain of the 1925 Tennis Team, perhaps the best the school had thus far developed; another was the motivating force behind the organization of an ice-hockey team, and one of its outstanding players; another held the position of manager of the Men's Quad; another a leader in campus politics; still, another was a sub-chairman on the Rally Committee. Led by such men, the group soon became recognized as an exemplification of that intangible thing called "spirit." It was the policy of the founders to create a fraternity which would be represented in as many diverse activities as possible, thereby to serve California better. In persuance of that policy, no stress was placed on any particular branch of activity, so that by the end of its first school year of existance, the fraternity had developed into a well-knit body of spirited men-athletes, politicians, and just plain workers.

PI THETA PHI HOUSE

In the beginning, it was believed that all effort should be directed toward developing the fraternity into a well-organized local, before striving for National affiliation. However, in spite of a determination to grow and succeed, coupled with an abundance of hard work, it became apparent that the fraternity could not reach any great heights of achievement without the advice and counsel of a National organization. Rushing was becoming more and more difficult for the local without a National Fraternity in view. :Many new Houses made their appearance and the members of Pi Theta Phi found themselves not well-enough equipped with a knowledge of fraternity affairs to successfully cope with the situation. A much wider experience was necessary. Soon after the Spring semester opened in 1927, a determined effort was put forth to contact with a National Body. The Dean of J\Ien was consulted, and after taking the matter up with the Presi-
