Convention Special Bv ETHEL HIMELICK

· t,. HAVE you marked that utilitarian calendar in the kitchen? The leatherbound one on your desk in the bedroom ? That fancy one in the living-dining area. Your hus­band's calendar? The one at the office? With what? Surely you know it's Alpha Sigma Tau national convention tirne--<:ome August of '52 (from the 20th to the 22nd) at the Conrad-Hilton, overlooking Michigan's Boulevard and Chicago's lake shoreline. SO --<:ircle now in red-and underline, too, please, those dates on one and all calen­dars you possess. Remember Detroit in '49? Cincinnati in '46? For you repeaters, I'm sure you know, without my prodding your happy memory bank, what wonderful times we have at na tional conventions. For you first-timers, just talk to any has-been, and your enthusiasm will triple and quadruple at a tremendous ra te.

You see first of all , it's the meeting-s and the greetings-th~-<.feeling of national con­sciousness-that you're a part of a big worth­while program- and everything from the Alpha session to the Omega session con­tributes-whether it's the accomplishments of the hard-working delegates in serious

meetings, or the informal moments at a luncheon, that brunch, or this coffee hour. Then there's the time, when in a wild "in­between-events" rush, you press your formal on the bottom of a dresser drawer, while the line forms to the right for like service; the time-out to do the city with a ticket to a radio show ; the trek through air-cooled fabulous tore .

If you're a coed or a teacher. make this your last of the summer fling ; if you're an office girl with end-of-the-summer heat-fraz­zled nerves, relax on the roof top of the Conrad-Hilton, if you're a mother, what more perfect time to be away, to gain a new zip for meeting the family fall problems. Au­gust will be just the time to splurge on a knock 'em dead costume (nothing so tame as a dress) for that opening fall day at col­lege or behind teacher's desk--or for the first day you're back a t the office--or when you step out to the neighborhood club with your husband .

All set? Calendars all marked? See you then in Chicago in August for wonderful Alpha Sigma Tau fellowship session!

What Shall J Wear at the Convention? Ideal for train or tour-a trim lightweight suit, not too hot for the August sun. not too cool for the breezes off

the lake.

A hat adds the finishing touch to a smart ensemble. You'll need one for the swanky Panhellenic tea on

Thursday.

For the gala formal banquet you'll want a full length or new short evening dress, replete with glittering trim

-jewelry, evening bag, heels.

For the opening luncheon on Wednesday following registration-how about a smart dark wrinkle-resistant

street dress (shantung is good. cool too).

8

Bring a white dress for the inspirational initiation service.

Just because it"s August, don't forget a light coat or shorty. You'll be right on the shores of Lake Michigan

where the breezes are refreshingly cool.

If you like the beach. do bring a bathing suit. The water is really invigorating and you might snatch a

minute of it.

BY ANN HALL, AXO

t TwENTY-FOUR of the 31 Panhellenic editors met for the 5-day National Panhel­lenic Conference held in Williamsburg, Va., from November 27 through D ecember 1. URder the chairmanship of Marian Wiley Keys, editor of the Alpha Phi Quarterly, the sorority journalists discussed and compared notes on the problems of Panhellenic maga­zines, from costs to chapter letters.

At one of the business sessions it was agreed that any c'1ditor obtaining an article (from someone outside her organization ) that would be of general Panhellenic inter-· est, should try to get permission for the use of said article, by the other Panhellenic mag­azines. The other editors · would then be notified that such permission for reprinting had been secured.

Plans were also made to cooperate with the Citizenship Committee of National Pan­hellenic, in presenting material arranged by this committee to the combined fraternity­woman readership of more than half a mil­lion.

At an "Editors' Hour," given at one of the general sessions of the Conference, the following speakers represented the editors : Frances Warreh Baker, Sigma Kappa Tri­angle. mistress of ceremonies; Kim Rose, Triangle of Sigma Sigma Sigma, who spoke on the "Purposes of Our M agazines" ; Julia Fuqua Ober, formerly editor of the Angelus of K appa Delta (and now K appa D elta 's na tional president ), on "An Editor Looks a t H er Past" ; and Dorothy Hummel Mar­shall, director of publica tion , Alpha Phi, on "How Do Fraternity Magazines Further a Public R elations Program ?"

The 1951 session closed with the election of Ann Hall, editor of the L yre of Alpha Chi Omega, chairman for the next biennium, and Kim Rose, Tri-Sigma T riangle, secre­tary-treasurer .

Present at the National Panhellenic Conference in Williamsburg, Va., were Mrs. Parry Schippers. Mrs. Haswell E. Staehle, and Mrs. Joseph Steen.

A first order of business a t National Pan­hellenic Conference's busine s sessions was the election to regular membership of 11 women's fra ternities. The e groups, some of which formerly comprised the A ocia tion of Education Sororitie , becam e associate mem­bers of PC in 194 7 and thi year became eligible for full membership . Those wel­comed included Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma T au, D elta Phi Epsilon, D elta Sigma Epsilon, Phi Sigma Sigma, Pi K appa Sigma, Sigm a D elta T au, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha, and Theta Sigma Up ilon. They bring the total of participating member fra ternitie in the Conference to 31.

Bv VIRGINIA STUBBS EowARDS

First Prize (Judged by Christian Science Monitor) Kansas Authors Club

~ GREAT radio networks help weave bright threads of democracy in the tapestry of the United States of America fashioned in 1949. The patterns of this rich radio tapestry­News Reports, Commentator's Comments, University Courses, Great Symphonies, Operas, and other educational and entertain­ing programs are sometimes breath-takingly beautiful. These comments are concentrated more specifically on democracy as exemplified in the weekly program, "Meet the Press."

There is something spine-tingling about listening to the needling of our legislative of­ficials by members of the press. Don't mis­take me- l am not deriding it- I think it :s .a good thing, a heal thy sign of democracy in .action. For example, rather recently the Press were interviewing a certain senator, from the far We t, who remained calm throughout the onslaught of their baited barbs.

This broadcast delighted me because it brought to light an example of that almo5t

; extinct Genus Homo, who can stand on his hind legs and call his medulla oblongata his own, even when the resulting cogitations veer from the majority-trod pathway of his po-

litical party. H e expressed the opinion that his party should feel the obligation of stand­ing for those measures that will protect the weak from exploitation by the politically strong. What person among you who takes active leadership locally or nationally does not know the full meaning of the "squeeze­play" or the "chopped-head" by his party or group if he dare go against the majority­trod way or the habit-rutted road? Indeed even in church and club circles one feels, ometimes, as if between several devils and

deep blue seas. It is startling to find a man who uses both

hi heart and his head, motivated by his be­lief that we should place human values above material values. Since it is so easy to become big-headed when one is "on top of the heap," this certain senator i to be commended for his level-headedness. Our government, as its founders intended, should represent all of the people. Many times we hear from the lips of our brave men, who have been prisoners of war, pungent and prophetic words about the value of freedom, and our need for keep­ing it. In our democratic conception of giving freedom to other peoples we are find­ing the radio a powerful and colorful thread in that pattern of free men's democracy; for what stronger thread is there than knowledge woven with understanding into the pattern of fri endship and love?

Bv JANET LuTHER, Sigma

;\. I HAD always wondered what it would be like to visit Europe, to see all those exciting places which I had read about. This past summer my dreams came true, for I did visit Europe with the Friendship Tour, spon­sored by Buffalo State T eachers College, under the leadership of Dr. Benjamin F. Gronewold, Professor · of Engl,ish at the col­lege.

We sailed July 6 on the S.S. V eendam of the Holland American Line. ThiSI was our first introduction to European people and I made many friends on the voyage.

On July 16 we docked at Le Havre and took the express train to Paris. H ere we saw the lights of the city at night, the sidewalk cafes, the parks, the artists, the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral, the cobblestone streets, the Palace of V ersailles with all its secrets, the Opera, and we even went to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Our next stop was Geneva, Switzerland, and our journey through the snow-covered Alps. We sat in on a session of the United Nations at the Palace in Geneva.

From Geneva we traveled south to Flor­ence, Italy, which is famous for its art. We visited the little leather and silver shops along the Ponte Veccio and had dinner with several young Florentine artists.

Rome was our next stop, and I think it was the most interesting place we visited. We saw the ruins of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, The Forum, the Pantheon, the Vatican Citv, the Sistine Chapel, and the open-air Opera, which was held in the ruins of the Caraculla Bath . We also had an audience with the Pope during our stay in Rome.

From Rome we visited Venice, and I had a gondola ride down the Grand Canal. In Milan we saw the original painting of "The Last Supper." r----- ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Janet Luther is a Top Tau this year. In addition to all her campus activities she enjoys music very much and teaches piano in her home.

Amsterdam was interesting, too. I think Holland was the most friendly country we visited. I met so many amiable people and am now corresponding with several of them. Volendam, where the people dress in the We visited the Hague, the flower auction at Alsmeer, and saw the quaint old town of traditional costume, with the wooden shoes.

London was our last stop. Our group spent one day at Stratford-on-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace. We saw :Buckingham Palace, the crown jewels, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, the Houses of Parliament, and we also spent a day at Oxford University.

If anything, this trip made me appreciate more than ever my home and my country.

After seeing the ruins and de truction in Italy, France, Holland, and England, I can better realize now what those poor people had to face. I saw tiny Italian children with deformed arms and twisted legs, caused by malnutrition during the war. I even saw children who had lost their arms or legs, begging in the treets.

We, in America, too often take too much for granted. I have learned to be more thankful for our great country and I now treasure more the liberty and freedom which America gives us.

Women Participate

_America Week " FROM THE NPC CITIZENSHIP COM­MITTEE, Mrs. Joseph Grigsby, Chairman,

Mrs. Cicero F. Hogan and Mrs. Beverley Robinson

~ How WELL do you know your America? Do you know what the American freedoms

are and why we treasure them? In hundreds of cities and towns through­

out the nation on May 14 to 20, 1952, fra­ternity women will participate in Know Your America W eek. The benefits and opportuni­ties of the free way of life are increasing in importance to more and more people in every American community. Citizens will rededicate themselves to the preservation of the basic American principles which will be exemplified and dramatized through numer­ous and varied programs planned in the re­spective communities during Know Your America W eek.

What can you do? Fraternity women can plan programs

within their Chapters and Panhellenics as well as volunteer their services to the local or­ganizers, or if no organizers, ·can volunteer such leadership them~elves to the civic au­thorities or broadcasting studios in ·their com­munities. In observin~r Kno w Your America W eek, fraternity women can volunteer to present or take part in historical pageants ; college chapter houses can display the flag throughout the week (do our chapter houses own such emblems ? They should!) Frater­nity women can contribute choral groups ; they can offer to staff booths for the dissemi­nation of information; they can speak on radio and community programs; and they can offer organizational experience or the "know how" to get thing done. Frater­nity members are among the most ~xperi­enced and devoted group of volunteer work­ers in the United States. Put the leadership training and organizational experience your fraternity helped to develop in you at work during Know Your America Week.

All programs throughout the United Sta te wil l highlight the story of our nation; its laws and liberties, its faiths and national origins ; its schools and churches ; its clubs and free associations ; its rights and responsibilities.

15

We cellcge worn n have responsibility as citizens because we enjoy the fre dams our forefathers won for us.

In recognition of this responsibility, the National Panhellenic Conference joins with 54 other national organiza tions representing approximately 800,000 citizens all associa ted in the All-American Conference in urging their memberships to observe and partici­pate in Kno w Your America W eek.

At a called meeting of delegates of the National Panhellenic Conference on M arch 29, 1951; in Chicago, Illinois, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:

"The National Panhellenic Conference be­comes a member of the All-American Con­ference to Combat Communism, as a demon­stration by the College Greek Letter soc1e'tie for women of their opposition to the phil­sophy and techniques of communism, and as evidence of their devotion to American freedom."

The All-American Conference who e pre ­ent headquarters are located a t Room 406, 1624 I Stree t N.W ., Washington, D. C. is an informational, educational and advisory body. Each participating organization speaks for itself on matters of policy. It does not speak for the conference. The conference does not speak for it.

Dr. Daniel A. Poling who serves a chai r­man of the All-American Conference in an address on world peace on June 2 7 1951, before the Supreme Council Se sion of the United Commercial Travelers of America said among other things :

"The price of freedom fir t of all is knowl­edge. W e need to know these United Sta tes of America .. .. We need to know what i going on in America.

"Freedom is not free. Alwa s freedom ha its price. And that price has been paid . Free­dom is both an inheritance and an achie' e­ment. ... We have it from tho e who ' ent before u , who in their time paid the price. . .. Theirs is a fini hed work. But in orne sense, a t least, this freedom mu t be re-born in me, it mu t become al ive in me. I mu t make my contribution here and no' ."

"The People Act" is the name given to a radio series of 26 weeks duration, beginning in November, broadcast nationally by the Columbia Broadcasting System. Each week's program will be a tape-recorded story where­in the people involved will tell in their own words just how they solved a pressing local problem. This series of broadcasts will have the distinction of being the first such enter­prise to • be undertaken in the Television­Radio Workshop created by the Ford Foun­dation as part of its gigantic program on be­half of world peace, democracy, economic welfare, education and scientific study. "The People Act" falls specifically into the category for adult education, financed by Ford Foun­dation money.

_American Studenl:J HroHER EDUCATION, a publication of the

Federal Security Agency, devoted much of its March 15 issue to an article entitled "The World Student Congress and International Education of American Students," written by Eugene G. Schwartz and Robert L. West, past vice presidents of NSA and members of the NSA group of "observer-delegates" who a ttended the World Student Congress held in Prague, last August. A copy of this bulle­tin may be obtained for ten cents from Of­fice of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington 25, D . C. Among other interest­ing statements is the one which says that United States (NSA ) participation in the conference was limited because "too few students have been prepared to cope with the complex and diverse issues which arise on the international level," because its dele­gation was much smaller than that of the Soviet groups, and because its members "were not equipped to compete with the cultural and sports teams and exhibitions brought from the East." The authors say that "greater numbers of American students must become familiar with the foreign lan­guages in wide use today, with the important contemporary political issues and with the character of the several non-western geo­graphical areas of great political importance to Americans." They also ay that their x­perience at Prague showed American tudents as " ill-equipped to meet trained C mmuni t in rough and tumbl debate."

~ Convention R eminiscences. October's bright blue weather brought a special honor to Alpha Alpha and Muncie Alumnae Chap­ters, with the Central District holding its fourth triennial district meeting on the cam­pus of Ball Sta te T eachers College on Oc­tober 13 and 14, 195 1. Although Lucina Hall, one of the women's residence halls, turned a cold cheek and a deaf ear to those convention arrivals in the wee morning hours, the campus policeman tried to assure a warm welcome to our out-of-state visitor , by per­sonally conducting some of the "after-curfew" arrivals to alumnae homes .. . . Convention: what is it? What makes it? Let's reminisce . . . the ahead of time plans . . . the welcom­ing of sisters from here and there . . . old sisters .. . new sisters ... the excitement on "overflows," as we tried to find a pillow for everyone and catch a few winks before the big convention day on Saturday . . . the charming and sincere manner of our presi­dent, Mrs. L. J. M aher, in greeting every­one and setting the tone of the convention .. . the exchange of ideas- serious moments - relaxing moments ... the campus tour . . . the noon luncheon, line fashion, at the college cafeteria . . . the afternoon session with its discussions of mutual problems .. . the formal banquet with traditional emerald and gold decorations .. . the sorority rose . ... the woman's viewpoint on travel abroad as reflected by Miss Laura Schroeder, the guest speaker ... the candlelighting service with the circle of light being formed ('member the yellow rose ceramic candle holders? ) and the feeling of all sisters together as we sang " In the candlelight we all stand together" . .. the special alt and pepper favors-typical of Muncie's industry . . . the informal party following . .. the farewell breakfast Sunday morning-how close we all felt ... the good byes. Convention ? It' the master welder.

M adonna's lovely suburban home was beauti­ful to behold with the traditional Chri tmas symbols. A special a ttraction was a miniature cathedral on the fi replace mantel, setting our mood with its " Silent Night" theme. Follow­ing an exchange of gifts, the hoste s's hus­band entertained us with movies, taken by him and hi wife's brother, on a venturesome vacation trip to the Arctic Circle. . . .

After four years of studies, campus activities. and sorority, twelve girls are graduating from Nu chapter. including Virginia Dean, Shirley DePorter. Shirley Rae Horton, Barbara Hanson, Shirley Marcus Hudson, Irene Jesser. Grace Kister, Erdeena Stolz, Martha Sweaney, Audrey Woodbury. Frances Wasinger. Patricia Whittaker Brown. Pledged when Nu was reactivated on campus, these twelve have been the backbone and important factors in building up Alpha Sigma Tau on the Colorado State College of Education campus. They leave an admirable record and truly big ideals which we undergraduates will strive to live up to. It is with heartfelt nostalgia and best wishes that we look up to those entering the

ranks of alumnae.

The August issue of The Magazine of Sig­ma Chi contained a timely article made up from the text of a speech delivered in the U. S. Senate on March 27, 1951 by Senator J. William Fulbright, Sigma Chi, on the subject of moral ·deterioration as ··a- threat to our democracy. One quotation : " I wonder · whether in recent years we have unwittingly come to accept the totalitarian concept that

23

the end justifies the mean , a concept which is fundamentally and completely antagonistic to a true domestic ociety. Democrac is I believe, more likely to be destroyed by the ·perversion of, or abandonment of, its true moral principles than by armed a ttack from Russia. The evil and in idiou materiali m of the Communists i a greater danger to u than their guns." ·

• Bv DoRTE ScHWERDT, Pi Student from Germany

;\; " I WANT you to get acquainted with the American way of life and therefore you better join a sorority" was the suggestion of my aunt, when I started college a half year ago.

Sorority- again one of those words which a re-well, which are just words. How is it possible to be a sister to so many girls? Nevertheless, it won't hurt to go to the rush parties. Those were my thoughts before I went to the rush parties and also as I was ·sitting between the other freshmen in the Alpha Sigma Tau Showboat. Then, after the laughter and the fun , it became silent when the Alpha president called the girls together to sing some of their songs.

There they were, sitting on the steps to

on

the podium, looking over to the candles, which were dimly lighting the room; and a burning thankfulne s was in their eyes while they sang "In the candleglow we all stand together." Yes, they stand together, and suddenly I realized the world which was gathered in that one word sorority-sister­hood. And when the Alphas joined hands with us, it seemed to me as if a band were tied around the hands of sisters in all countries, a band of understanding and sincerity which united the whole world.

Then, when I was alone under the dark harvest sky, I knew that I was not really alone. that I would never be alone again, and I thanked God with all my heart-! had found my home in Alpha Sigma Tau.

";\; E. STANLEY JoNES states in his book, Abundant Living, "Anger is righteous, if it has in it grief on account of what is happen­ing to others, and not a grudge on account of what is happening to one's self." How often have you felt sudden anger at someone and have not been able to put your finger on the cause of your anger? In your mind you at­tempt to rationalize it as something of great importance, when, in reality, it is romething petty and insignificant, such as peculiar mannerism or behavior habit.

The ideals and creeds of Alpha Sigma Tau stress above all else, tolerance in our own everyday lives. To be tolerant of those about us, whose material possessions tend to differ from ours, whose actions and attitudes do not coincide with ours, whose ideas do not agree with the ones we hold as truths, is es-

;\; YouR attention is called to the reprint of an article which appeared recently in Look, "A Challenge to Americans." This is an ex­cerpt from "This American People" by Ger-

sential if, in our own SIOrority life, we are to work as a group, not as separate indi­viduals.

If each of us was to think back, perhaps just to last rushing season, we could all find occasions when the anger, spoken of by Mr. Jones, broke forth . When one of your sorori­ty sisters disagreed with you on the merits of someone you were advocating as a rushee, how did you react? Now think a minute.

Webster defines anger as a strong passion of emotion or displeasure, and usually an­tagonism, excited by a sense of injury or in­sult. If, when angered, we do experience ex­treme antagonism, let's think back to the Bible passage read during the Formal Pledge Cere~ony, and remember the quiet, un­assummg woman described. Affection sin-. ' centy, and truth is our pass word not anger dissension and falsehood. ' ,

~ IN the pledge group of 1951, the Alpha chapter gained six new members: Jonelle Anderson, Mary Brown, Janice Jensen, Ann Krupa, Lois Nutting, and Judy Shaw. These girls became full members of Alpha Sigma Tau at the formal initiation ceremony, held in McKenney .Hall on J anuary 12, and the chapter extends its sincerest welcome to them, and thanks for the many lovely pil­lows and unique paddles.

The 3rd of December, Gloria Wedge took over the office of president of the Alpha chapter. The former president, Harriet Rob­ertson, resigned in order to join her husband who is serving with the armed forces.

In the contest for the best float in the Homecoming Parade at Michigan State Nor­mal College this year, Alpha's float received, and certainly deserved, second place. A large argyle sock was constructed from chick­en wire and crepe paper, under the able guidance of Bunny DeLauder, and the slo­gan "Argyles'll Sock 'Em," helped put the idea across.

With a new semester just getting under way, the Alpha chapter is looking forward

The Friday before Christmas vacation, the Beta Chapter and Sigma T au Gamma, our brother fraternity, had a Christmas Benefit dance at St. John's Parish House, Mt. Pleas­ant. The admission to the dance was one article of food . This food was placed in a bushel basket and given to a needy family in Mt. Pleasant. This was the first time we ever had such a project, and since it turned out o well, it is going to be an annual project.

Central Michigan College has been chosen as the site for a film on teacher training, since Central is the most outstanding of teachers' colleges. J eanne Gleason Clarke has been chosen as one of the four students to star in the film .

It is spring rushing time, and we are well on our way. Saturday. February 22, we had our first rushing tea. The theme of our tea was a circus. "Astie," our clown mascot, propped on a small ladder with balloons, was our center piece. We served cookies with clown faces and pink lemonade. Several stuffed animals and animal crackers were placed on each table. For name tags, we used clown faces made out of construction paper. Lollypops with green and yellow rib­bons were given as favors. We were hostesses to fifty rushees.

Wednesday, March 4, we have another rush party, which we call "Sleepy Tau Haven." The party is to take place at the home of Alice Wilcox, junior. The actives wear long nighties, and the rushees wear pajamas, and each one b rings a stuffed animal.

A week later we have another party, and then voting takes place. At that time we will know who our new T aus will be.

We are looking forward to many more events: Spring formal with our brother fraternity, Parent's Day tea, Senior Farewell, and parties with other sororities and fra­ternities.-BARBARA REINKING.

At present all our attention is focused on rushing. Opportunities for rushees to meet sorority girls have been expounded, by our Panhellenic Council's Sorority Week. Each

sorority was given a huge board to decorate with news about its purposes, members, con­tributions, and activities. Alpha Sigma Tau won one of the three top awards. An eve­ning affair along with an afternoon tea at which two members modeled, was arranged. We are going to have an informal rush party on campus and a formal dinner off campus.

On March 26, Alpha Sigma Tau will again enter Wayne University's Annual Pan­hellenic Sing. We plan to sing "To Our Fraternity" as our sorority feature and "Big Rock Candy Mountain" as our popular song choice.

This year we tried omething new in the line of local service. Used Christmas cards were collected by our members, and sent to a cerebral palsy hospital. There, the e cards can be used by afllicted children, in a variety of art projects.

Next month, plans will be begun for our annual vacation at a cottage in Iri h Hill , Michigan. Alpha Sigma Tau have rented this same cottage for everal years, and every­one looks forward to pending ten days there, before the summer ession of cia es.

OuR annual Christmas party was held this year at the home of pledge Nancy Palmer in J enkintown. We had loads of fun, ex­changing "Pollyannas" and playing "Cootie."

Next event on the social calendar was our Valentine's party. This "dated" affair was held at the "Cloisters" and though it was a miserable night outside, it was quite dry and comfortable inside. Pledges Gwynne K elley and M ary Polk deserve a great deal of credit for the beautiful decorations ..

M arch 4 was a big day for <;mr pledges. They were initiated at the "Cloisters," with full ceremony.

In December, a North Pole·party was given for the new pledges by the alums. Also in December, the Pi's had a wonderful time at their traditional Christmas party at the home of Miss Kohl, one of the co-sponsors. This is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year. December 30, we had initiation of our four pledges, Naomi Ossenschmidt, Dorte Schwerdt, Peggy Steward, and Carol Will­man. Also, the Pi's gave a Christmas party for the alums.

In January there was a "dee-licious" chili supper with the alums. The former pledges gave a graduation party for the January graduates. We hated to say goodbye to such wonderful actives. The graduates gave a pajama party for the actives.

The new term saw Pat Seib elected assist­ant editor of the Collegian. Myra Schneider is the new president of the Shakespeare Club.

In February the Pi's pin pledged Evelyn Buenemann. February saw the Pi's ice­skating and ooh-those falls, but it was loads of fun.

On March 28, Skit Nite will be presented by Pi. Skit Nite is an annual event, pre­sented by Alpha at Harris for the entire campus to attend. It is one of the most popular events of the year.

In April we are planning a bowling party and a picnic supper in the park. Also, we are practicing our scales for the Inter­fraternal Sing.

In May the Pi's are going on a trip to the farm of the sister of Miss Murray, our co­sponsor. We are anticipating a great deal of fun.

Plans are being made for the summer also. The Pi's hope to have several swimming parties this summer. Also, we hope to spend a weekend at Pere Marquette State Park.

The National Convention is in Chicago this year, and many of the Pi's are planning to attend. Here's hoping we see many of you there.- PEGGY STEWARD.

Madam Castros

~ BEGINNING on February 25, the first in a series of rush parties was held on the Long­wood College campus. With the theme of "A Carnival," the Zeta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau got off to an excellent start.

The door of the chapter room was gaily decorated in green and yellow crepe paper, green and yellow hoops with the words "A.S.T . Carnival" written on them. With each and every knock on the door by one of the seventeen rushees, Nancy Purdum who was portraying the part of a clown, bounded to answer the knock. Nancy took the guests' shoes, as soon as they were inside. (These had to be won before they could leave.)

I<' rom there on, . our president, who was the barker, conducted them around to the big attractions. Beforehand, the rushees had been given pennies, with which to buy re­freshments, and take part in the various games.

In one corner was "Madam Castros" who told their fortunes, either by the use of a crystal ball or tea leaves. In another corner was a device constructed so that the rushees could pitch pennies and win their shoes back. Meanwhile, the Alpha Sigma Tau actives were thoroughly enjoying themselves, too. Many of them were attired in short, little-girl dresses, skirts, etc. They wandered about the room and called the ru hee at­tention to the cage of ferociou animal .

The area where the food was sold was at­tractively and artistically arranged, to rep­resent the typical carnival booth. A curtain of green and yellow crepe paper streamers hung from the draperies. The girls, who were selling (supposedly), wore dainty little waitress ha ts and aprons, also in green and yellow.

The food consisted of cups of pink lemon­ade, can.died apples on sticks, and cookies in the shape of circus animals.

We had a few extra specials, too. Kitty Hamlet gave a little song and dance number, "College Rhythm"; Lou 'Beavers and Pat Dannally, a version of "Merry-Go-Round" ; and Lou also sang a cute little song, " I've Lost My Dog."

The second day of rushing, the Alpha Sig­ma Taus demonstrated what was almost the opposite side. This time they were the sophisticated girls to go with their next theme, "A Night Club." Again the food and decorations went with this theme.

The third rush party was a regular tea

and was quite restful, after the strenuous attempts of the fi rst two. All these efforts, however, brought grand resul ts. The Alpha Sigma Taus got fourteen of the very finest girls.- NANCY LEE Wooo.

;t THE Grand Order of Loyal Fellows of the Road or briefly, the Hoboes, held their an­nual convention in the recrea tion room of Miller Hall, Tuesday, November 13, 1951. The hosts for this convention were the mem­bers of Chi Chapter ; the honored hobo guests were rushees.

The room was decora ted to resemble the retrea t for all hoboes, the forest. Logs were conveniently placed for seating, ivy entwined the posts, trees grew profusely around the walls, and a small campfire was the center of the activities.

King of the hoboes, Phyllis Stuckey, pre­sided over the convention. In order to be­come a member of the Grand Order each girl had to promise never to work, never buy food , take no more than two bath a year and n ver shave.

In order to prove that they were all good

hoboes, the girls had to go ~n a hobo hunt. Some of the articles for which they had to beg were: a left-handed monk.ey wrench, a cross-eyed darning needle, a ch1cken feather, an empty gun shell. All girls pr~ved to be fine hoboes, by bringing in everything on the list.

The next thing to be begged for was food. The hoboes did a great job of begging for thi and came up with hot dogs and cocoa.

While the group was sitting around the campfire eating, Hobo Marian Evans told about the greedy old woman who swallowed a fly. Hobo Ora Tabler gave a good example of fate awaiting hoboes who marry, when she told of Socrates Snooks.

The en tire group participated in a dres ing relay and concluded the evening by singing some typical hobo song .

Three members of Chi Chapter have been cho en to be listed in " ho's Who in Ameri­can College and Universities." The honored girl are: Eleanor J ack on, a member of the Home Economic Club, the Girls' Chorus, and an officer of Alpha Sigma Tau. She i majoring in Home Economic and Secondary Education. Upon graduation in June she plan to teach . M ary Short i a member of the Future T eachers of America, pre ident of K appa Delta Pi honorary fraternity, and an active member of Alpha Sigma T au . Goldie J ean Smith is majoring in Commerce and Secondary Education. She is a member of the College Choir, active in sorority work, and secretary to the president of the college.

Chi Chapter pledged and initiated two girls during the first emester of the year. The new member are Julia Hovermale, Berkeley Springs, West Virginia; and Char­lene Flick, M artinsburg, West Virginia.

Chi Chapter sent three representatives to the fourth regional convention, which was held O ctober 12-14 at Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia. The representative were M argaret Horner, Miriam Wie t, and Susan Barrick, all of M artin burg, W e t Vir­ginia.-MARIAN EvANS.

At the same time, new curtains of green and white checked gingham were made for the kitchen. In the kitchen our AST girls were busy with paint brushes and yellow paint. The finished kitchen is really our pride, and plans are under way for buying new living room furniture.

Just one week after we finished all this, we were hostesses for the regional convention of Alpha Sigma T au. Again a lot of work was required from everyone; however, once the convention started, everyone forgot how tired she might have been, and immediately caught the spirit of the inspiring meetings. Saturday night, after a wonderful banquet, we had an informal get-together a t Lincoln H ouse. Honestly, the house nearly rocked on its foundations.

With our rush party just five days after the convention, our 21 members had to really fly around, to get ready for it. When the big night arrived, one could hardly recognize the house. Carnival decorations inside and out left no doubt as to the theme of our party. The game rooms, fortune telling booth, and refreshment stand would have been a credit to any carnival, to say nothing of the prize concessions h>ooth, where the sock dolls, which we had so much fun making, were among the most popular prizes.

Certainly no one was without a tear when, in the candlelight, we closed our party, by singing our Sweetheart Song to the rushees, and by tying green and yellow ribbons around their fingers, so that they wouldn't forget Alpha Sigma Tau.

Then that final day of rushing came, with lots of alumnae present to h elp us cheer as we took in our twenty-seven wonderful new pledges.

Founders' day, a week la ter, found mem­bers at the annual banquet, which was a huge success.

Our pledges immediately caught the spirit of our "House Beautiful" movement and showed their talent by redoing our bath­room upstairs.

Psi Chapter had its own special Christmas party just before the holidays. It was a pajama party after the Saturday night movie. Quite a few of us slept on the living room floor that night- if indeed anyone slept!

Exams slowed us down almost as soon as we got back from Christmas, but the new semester found us with new spirit and new resolutions, although we were missing two of our beloved sisters. We were proud to find ten of our members among those of the dean's list for first semester. Also three of our juniors were tapped for Kappa Delta Pi honorary educational society. Incidentally, Catherine Cover, a Psi Chapter senior, is pres ident of K appa D elta Pi thi year. Catherine is also featured in this year' Who' Who.

Miss Janet Calfee, president of the sorority's fourth district, announced that Mrs. Preston Ham!lton (Henrietta M ahood) had been appomted National Social Service chairman. The re~ignation of Mrs. Frank K ersey (Kathenne Hofsteter) as recording secretary was accepted with regret. Miss Thelma Wil­son was elected to the office, after resigning as chapter chaplain, and Mrs. James Warden was elected as new chaplain. Our treasurer Miss Virginia Bailey, reported that the recent rumm~ge sale, held by tlie group, was a financial success. Mrs. William Richardson (Eileen Godsey) told of the Founders' Day banquet held in Athens on November 3. She said that several members of our alum­nae chapter were present for the occasion. The Bluefield group presented a monetary gift to the Omicron Chapter, hostess for the banquet, to be put in a "house fund." A sc~olarship award was also given to Miss A.hce Ferrell of Athens, for maintaining the highest scholastic average in the active chap­ter last year.

A bridge and canasta party followed the meeting, with prizes being awarded to Miss Calfee, high bridge; and Miss Nancy Rud­dell, high canasta.

At the December meeting, members of the chapter brought gifts for a needy child, selected by the social service committee, in­stead of exchanging gifts among themselves. Christma colors of red and green were com­bined in the color scheme, and the refresh­ments also carried out the Christmas motif. Mrs. Preston Hamilton won first prize for th.e most attractively wrapped package. 'Mrs. Richardson was hostess to the group with Thelma Wilson as co-hostess. '

The group enjoyed a "pot-lu k" supper in January. Gue ts were the members' hus-

bands. Among the out-of-town guests were Dr. and Mrs. Meade McNeill, Athens, W. Va. The supper was held at the home of Miss Virginia Bailey.

Mi Alice Chri topher was hostess to the group in February, and Mr . Robert Dalton (Gladys U dy) was co-hostess. At this meet­ing it was decided to present a scholarship award to a senior student at Concord College, at the annual luncheon in May, which honors graduating Seniors of the collegiate chapter. The award will go to the girl with the highest academic average in the Omicron Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau, and will be the Anchor pin. H eretofore, the Bluefield chapter has presented an award to the collegiate girl having the highest average for the past year, at the Founders' D ay banquet in November.

A report on the National Council meeting of Alpha Sigma Tau was given by Miss Calfee. She said that the National Council complimented the Bluefield chapter for its 100 per cent efficiency rating with the na­tional office for the past year. She said that only two other chapters, Richmond, Va., and Philadelphia, Pa., attained this rating.

;\; DESPITE losing some fine members this year and gaining none, we have still had some very interesting programs and activities. Two of our programs were informative as well as interesting, when Jeannette Hale told us of new methods of teaching, and Doris Will ex­plained the set-up of her Church library, of which she is librarian.

Emma 'Mae Matthews is now living at 404 Kelsall Ave., St. Simons Island, Ga., and her mailing address is c/ o Eastern Air Lines, Brunswick, Ga. We'll miss her. Then Winifred Newman, one of the busiest career women in this area, has asked to be put on the inactive list, due to her inability to attend meetings. She was an enthusiastic booster nevertheless, and we would refuse her wish, if we could.

We tried our first bake sale in February. Having only about eight girls participating, we still did amazingly well. We want to try it again this year, as it certainly swelled our bank account. Doris Will was the spark be­hind this one.

Instead of a Christmas party with our husbands, we had a Valentine party at Jean and Marion Bailey's. With our love for gab, games, music, and a generous amount of re­freshments, we all had lots of fun.

We brought baby clothes and good used clothes, for a box for Pine Mountain, to our February meeting. Jeannette Hale is also going to help us make favors for a school room of underprivileged children for Easter. We haven't decided just what it will be yet, but something that will delight each child.

IJ101·/ofk-PorftJmoufh j Jrauefof!Ue ~ THE Norfolk-Portsmouth group has had

several interesting meetings this fall and winter. At the first meeting, we were eager to hear of the various members' summer ex­periences, especially Alfreda Collings' 3-month trip to Europe and North Africa. But with news of Barbara Kellam's approach-

ing marriage, we began to r aliz how v ry mu h we would miss her when she I ft th group to live the life of an Army Offic y)s wife in the midwest. Our 0 tober m t­ing was enjoyed in Vivian Scott's new home.

At Christmas time w felt that we w re having a sorority reunion! So many of the older girls and younger memb rs, who wer home for the holidays, gathered a t the Pine Tree Inn, near Virginia Beach, not only to partake of the delicious fare spread before us, but to feast our souls on the delightful Christmas Story that was given on the pro­gram. Yes, Mary Lee Maibon Cardwell is truly a wonderful story teller! Margaret Sangster's story, "The Birthday," was beau­tifully and touchingly told.

Now that the holidays are past, we shall gather monthly in the members' homes to plan our spring work ; mainly, how to keep the young girls interested, not only in sorority life in college- but after they leave.-AL­FREDA L. CALLINGS.

~ THE Princeton-Athens Alumnae Chapter has had a very successful first year. En­

thusiasm has run high, and we feel that this is only the beginning of better years to come.

A joint meeting with the Bluefield Alum­nae was held in O ctober at the home of Mrs. Wand a Bradley. The two main topics for discussion were the District meeting in Harrisonburg and the gift for the Omicron girls at the Founders' Day Banquet. After the business meeting, the girls of the two chapters had a pleasant time renewing old and valued friendships.

The annual Founders' Day Banquet was held at the Athens Baptist Church. As these banquets are always a source of in­spiration, this one was no exception. The alumnae groups of this area took great pride in being able to start a Home Fund for the Omicron Collegiate Chapter.

Our November meeting was held at the beautiful new home of Mrs. Lucille Wathall. This was strictly a business meeting, at which our plans were made for our Christmas proj­ect.

Each year, instead of exchanging gifts among ourselves at Christmas, we find that we get a greater joy out of helping some needy family. At our Christmas party. held at the very festively decorated home of J ean Richards, we all broug-ht our gifts and had a gay time of wrapping them. Among the confusion of paper, seals, . and ribbon, Polly Mash came up with a beautifully wrapped present, which won her first prize.

After our business meeting in January, Lucille Wathall very ably demonstrated the art of raffia making. She explained the many and various uses of raffia, which proved to be of wide interest to all.

February was our month for a strictly so­cial meeting. The home of Mrs. Hazel Mingo was filled with the laughing and chat­ting of a canasta-playing crowd.- SARAH Jo BROOKS.

~ WE, of the Richmond-Petersburg Alumnae Chapter, celebrated Founder's Day with a wonderful banquet at Hotel Rueger, noted for its southern cooking. Afterwards an in­teresting program was held in the horne of Sally Vaughan. The "Streetman Street Man" from a local radio station interviewed and questioned several members. Our host­ess, Sally Vaughan, won the orchid for giv­ing the correct answers. The program was recorded and broadcasted at a later date.

At Christmas we sent gifts to the Chil­dren's ward of a local hospital. Later we also sent much needed diapers to the hospital to be used in the Charity Children's Ward.

We recently received an invitation to join the City Panhellenic which is being formed in Richmond.

At our February meeting we were glad to have as our guest, Ann R obinson Berry, who has returned to Virginia to live with her parents while her husband is serving overseas.

We' re looking forward to a steak dinner which will precede our M arch meeting. Also on our spring calendar will be a " fish fry" which our dates and husbands may at­tend. Jucly K ing is now completing plans for th is, which will be our final get- together unt1l next Fall.

years as an enthusiastic and activ Alumna Club, w were harter d on F bruary 12, 1951. Our tip to oth r clubs is, "Go N a­tiona!" ; the exp ri nee is most gratifying.

The February meeting at Georgianna Bar­naby's was increasingly significant, because Rosemary Ford, presid nt, conduct d initia­tion services for three girls: Maureta Darr, Alpha Delta '51; Margaret Millspaugh, Al­oha Delta '51; and Ann Diem Kivett, Alpha Delta '51.

The good year 1951-52 began for us when we bought, prepared, and served, the food for the "Tau Ranch Party," the coli giate's first rush event of the season. (They got 11 priceless pledges!)

The 50 girls who came to the Alum Homecoming luncheon at the K entwood Arms Hotel on November 3, "remembered when" all through lunch, the football game, and while dancing to "Neighbor's" band at the Homecoming dance.

In October, three alums attended the Dis­trict Meeting at Emporia, K an., along with four collegiates. We (Donna Klein, Juanita Parker and Nyda Sebring) found the meet­ing inspirational ... and good fun . Iota's hospitality was something to remember long ... and with pleasure.

The Christmas buffet supper at Juanita Parker's country place wa traditionally gor­geous ... and gorge-us!

The SMS College Panhellenic Workshop on Mar. 14 and 15, which many of us attended, brought us close to collegiates, alums, sponsors, and national offi ers of all the Springfield sororities. From thi as­sociation we gained much new "na tional awareness."

Then we bade far well to M adeline J en­kins, who was tra n ferred to San Antonio, T x., to continue her career with the U . S. Government.

How could anyone forget our Founder's Day banquet at The Old Club in Alexan-

Jane Fox, soon followed by .Marie Garber, came into the classification of "newlyweds." We are fortunate indeed that both couples are living in nearby Alexandria.

Full of the spirit of sharing and giving at Christmas time we packed a box of crayons and coloring books for the children at Pine Mountain. In J anuary we sent a huge box of clothing to the settlement.

Our White Elephant sale recently was a great success, as Margaret Bowers, our lively auctioneer, spurred us on to dig deeply into our pocketbook .

The Wa hington, D . C., Panhellenic, of which we are a member, has provided many activities in which we participate. In Feb­ruary. Dorothy Gates and M eda Ray Sewell a ttended a tea given by the D elta Zetas. In March, one Saturday has been set aside for a fashion show, followed by an afternoon of bridge.

M o t of Wichita' major development have occurred during the past six years, and this growth has brought about a swift change in its "facial" appearance. For ex­ample, its changing face includes an in­crease of one-third in quare-mile area dur­ing that period. The downtown area ha undergone orne $15,000,000 in face lifting including the addition of a number of mod­ern building .

Eighteen thou and hou inu unit have been added . Thi i roughly a fourth of all the hou ing unit in the city.

The estimated population of Wichita in 1951 wa 201,000 and it i till zoominu. The cit ' population ha grown 88 p r nt the pa t 20 ears, and all but thr per ent of thi incr a e ha o urred sin 19-l-0.

In D ecember we held a Christmas Party at the home of Mrs. Woodrow Wolfe. Each member took a gift, to be given to the chil­dren at the Lycoming Nur ery. Greetings were read from Alpha Sigma Tau Collegiate Alumnae Chapters . A film strip, games, and carols completed the picture.

Our chapter had a very pleasant visit from Mrs. Joseph Steen, Eastern District President, and Mrs. Franklyn M cilvaine, of Zeta Chapter a t Lock H aven State T eachers College. Mrs. Steen reviewed the work of the sorority in the light of national affilia­tion and told of the present trends.

A discussion of philanthropic projects, supported by Alpha Sigma T au's social service program, was held and a preview of the National Conven­tion to be held in Chicago in Augu t was given.

;\, IN the winter of 1950, Mrs. Rolland Bat s and the Alpha hapter of Alpha Sigma T au planned a Sunday afternoon tea, and invited all of the known alumna . At the tea the alumnae were small in number, but the few of us there planned a future meeting. At our next meeting, in a hom , we added some new faces. The girls that were a t that meet­ing, along with the ones that have graduated from college since that time, started getting together once a month. Our purpose a t that time was to get better acquainted with each other. We had picnic with the seniors, went to a play, and had social evenings in each other's homes.

Then this last fall , Mrs. Joyce Riehl and Mrs. Arlene Johnson came from the Port Huron alumnae chapter and gave us many ideas about reinstating our chapter. F irst of a ll, we got a list of a ll the alumnae in this part of the state. We mimeographed a list for each girl whom we were contacting, so that she would know who was in this area. Along with this list, a letter was ent to each person telling her the purpo e of the chapter. We also enclo ed a card, which she wa to return tating her interest or non­interest in the chapter. At our January meeting, we had a good group in attendance and it really seemed good to see all tho e new face.

We elected officers, too. They are: M iss Sheila Stefanac, president; Mr . Virginia Sheets, secretary; and Mi Pauline Bentley trea urer. At our February meeting we added more new girls and concentrated on getting better acquainted . On M arch 19, at Mrs. Alice Spencer's, we are hoping Mis Luecking, Pi chapter, and now ad i er for Alpha Alpha a t Ball Sta te, Muncie, Ind. wi ll be with u for initiation. Our plan for future meetings include a pot luck ocial service, and entertainment for the graduat­ing seniors. We are hoping that we can attend the convention in Chicago in August. - ALVIRA CRAWFORD SEVERT.
