. CALL TO CONVENTION To Alpha Sigma Alphas Everywhere: As I sound the call to Alpha Sigma Alpha's Fifteenth National Biennial Convention at Yellowstone National Park, August 22nd to 26th, it is my hope that from north, south, east, and west will come the echoing answers, {{I'm coming I" Here amid the majesty of mountains, the wonder of canyons, and the crystal clearness of lakes, you may share an experience that will waft you to new heights of inspiration ; an experience that will enrich your life by the wonder of its precepts; an experience that will challenge you by the clarity of its vision- that experience is an A . S. 路A. Convention.

Are you coming? We are waiting for your echoing answer ,-'Tm coming I"

G. BELL, National President.

pledging and initi ation M ODEL ervice will be two of the highlights of the 1938 Convention program.

Jaturally, at pledging, previously initiated college girls will assume the role of pledge , but at the service of initiation, bonafide pledges will I ecome full-fledged A lpha Sigmas.

A lthough "model" in the sense of providing objective ritual tudy for active chapter delegates and refresh ing the memories of alumnce, Convention Services have their appeal in beauty and inspiration . Former Convention delegates recall the quiet loveliness of early morning pledging by Mary's Lake and the

Her arti tic ability i not limited to teaching, for we\ e heard she's on call at all time for making scenery for the school play , decorating for the school dance and planning exhibits. Probably mo t of you have seen ome of her sketches in the PHOE IIX. De ide all this she finds time for riding, skating, planning leighride partie even when there i n't any now, teaching night school classe in interior decoration and being president of the Buffalo Alumnce for two years. Capable, talented and full of fun-that's Marg.

VIVI BJORK DOBBIN Denver, Colo.

With great pride the Denver Alumnce present Vivi Bjork Dobbins as convention delegate. Vivi has served as PHOENIX correspondent for three years and the Denver News Letter has never missed an edition. An enthusiastic member since its organization in 1925 she has each year given her home for meetings and parties and is famou as a hostess in the delightful Swedish manner. A happy, gay, little son is her splendid achievement as a mother. Her's is a naive charm that endears her to her friends and will make her a convention asset.

ALBERTINE GEIST Des Moines Albertine, who is our Alumnce president will no doubt be our delegate at convention. fter graduating from Drake he taught chool and now be ides managing her family he does ome upply teaching in the Des Moines schools . Quite often her teaching is at the Carey

DOR THY W ILLI ROOK Ou1' ational Vice-President "G reetings," Dottie \ illiam on used to ay to me each morning, as I went by her office door. In

Now, as yo u know, she is the bu y littl e hou ewife in her darling penthou e in Narberthwhere Bill, the famou s patron of lpha ig, is meticul ously and diligently cared for. uch a well k ept household! It i the type where there i a place for ever ythin g and everything is in its place.

Of course, "good things come in mall package ," and we find capability it elf carefully wrapped within thi s neat and a ttractive pack-

Camping

After many summers as a camper and councilor, last summer was my fir t experience as a camp director.

Won't you drop into Camp Laughing Loon for a few minutes and I'll show you around?

Driving along a bumpy Maine road from Sanford, you turn off into a decidedly rutty path through a pine grove. Take a few hairpin curves then you'll notice a low, rambling building on the left, which is our recreation hall ; but don't stop here, because you must put on speed to make the steep grade which is directly ahead of you.

Too bad! You'll have to shift into second to make it-every one does !

Just turn to the left and park your car in front of that little building which is the office. Tow, stretch your legs and I'll show you around the camp .

Yes, you are on a point surrounded on three sides by water.

(Little Ossipee Lake) Come over here a minute, I'll show you our view. Isn't that a lovely lake? There are good salmon in there too !

That mountain in the di tance is Little Ossipee, which we often climb to spend the night. You should join us ometime, the hamburgers and toa ted mar hmallows are grand! ow let me how you the tents. 路w e'll start up here at the baby end,

49

walk around the emi circle and fini h at the enior end.

THE PHOENIX Did we ever dig in the attic for those package ! They were tied up-moths, cobwebs and all. The prettier the outside wrapping, the worse the inside. moth-eaten hairless dog went for thirty-seven cents. Did all this ever swell our treasury! It' one of the least painful ways of making money that we can think of. Try it some time.

We thought we had loads of fun at this party, but it was overshadowed by the party on April 6 for the Pi Pi chapter. A fashion show, a mock convention and a heart rendering melodrama were on the program for the evening.

Everything was modeled in the fashion show from 1860 nightgowns to 1909 corsets. Our National Council was present in full disguise for the mock convention. - Don't get us wrong, they were here in name only. As for the mellerdrammer- sech superb acting, sech feeling, sech gestures- t'was terrific (and we mean it literally this time). But fun!what else could you have with thirty-five college gals and thirty alumnre sitting on top of each other.

Louise Abrams was the brave hostess who supplied plenty of delectable eatables for everybody.

See you at convention- we hope- we hope- we hope!

VVe are so scattered about the State that we do not usually see each other between meetings. I haven't seen anyone-but the postal service has been loaded with correpondence. At the present time all Delaware is busy with plans for the Tercentenary Anniversary of the Landing of the wedes in Delaware. It is to be an elaborate affair held during the latter part of June. \i\Touldn't it be grand if all alumme members could be together at convention? Are you planning to go?

In lower ussex County there is a group of people called the "Moor ." Their history is fascinating and is delved into by many leading genealogists. Their tory is as . follows: "About one hundred fifty years ago, a cargo of slaves from the Congo River landed at Lewes, and were sold to purchasers at that place. Among them was a tall, finelooking young man about twentyfive years of age. This man was called Requa, and was remarkable for his manly proportions and regular features, being more Caucasian than African. Requa was purchased by a young widow, having red hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. he afterward married him. At that time the Nanticoke Indians were still numerous at the near Indian River. The offspring of Requa and his wife were not accepted in the white society. They would not associate with the Negroes, but they did not intermary with the Indian .

The people are noted a peaceable, law-abiding citizen , and good farmers. They are known as Moors but without any foundation.

At Lewis the hospitality of ussex County flourishes. It was here in 1631 that the Dutch planted a ettlement. This was the first at-

We had a big di appointment in our group this month . Due to unfor een events, our meeting cheduled for March 12th to be held at the home of Phyllis Kittelberger in Palmerton, with your truly a cohostess, had to be call ed off o my letter will not be so candali zing a u ual. Phylli and I were indeed orry, but it couldn't be otherwise.

Lehigh Valley i such a bu y place that one never know what may happen to change the best of plans.

However be it, I am duty bound to produce-so bear with me while I digress here and there in effo rt to gtve you some news.

Those of Kappa Kappa who know Dot Gebhardt will be interested to know that it is reall y a fa ct that she undertook the step of matrimony several months ago. I don't know the lucky man's name but I know we all wish her the best of luck , love and little ones.

I do have the growth of A. . A. at heart and my mind drifts to Phyllis Kittelberger who is eagerly awaiting Mr. Stork this month.

Phyllis is a peach-although not a Kappa Kappa. Indiana State Teachers College did well to produce her, and he is one of the most interested participants in Eastern Pennsylvania group.

Several weeks ago my plea ure was twofold, listen ing to a mo t interesting talk which Mr. Millard Gladfelter, registrar of dear old T emple U., gave to a group of Catasauqua Rotarian and wive , at which time my hubby and I were

privileged to be gu t , plu me ting hi charmin wife, who o-a\' me intere ting new of ev ral Kappa Kappa girl he know .

However, we did a semble a group of nine which enjoyed the afternoon at contract. Our deliciou refreshments were erved attractively and appropriately in keeping v.-ith the patroitic holiday of the month of February.

Dear lpha ig : ur hearts beat high with admiration for our president, u an Lane, who under a canopy of bright colored paper and balloons was crowned queen of our annual Mardi Gras festivity for the econd succes ive time. Her co tume of white satin and lace was a str1kin o- contra t to the brilliant hued gowns and black mantillas worn by the court who surrounded her a he at in true regal fashion on a gilt throne, and was crowned with a mantilla of white lace. We shall never forget how all the gaiety of the gala occasion was reflected in her hining eyes and the flash of her mile.

March 5, was "Founders Day" for the college. It is the cu tom on thi day for the variou organization to present some gift to the institution to forward it progre~s.

O ur chapter contributed one hundred dollars which is to be used as a loan fund for some girl needing financial aid in order to continue through college. This doubles the fund which we started last year.

It's wonderful to know that we are doing something really worthwhile on the campus, and though it may cause nne Billing , our trea urer, to ca t anx ious eyes on our "accounts' the deficits give us ornething definite to work for. goal to work for is the strengthening of

THE PHOENIX at a pledge party on 1\farch the 18th. It was given at the home of my lvord and we certainly did have a grand time. I think their invitations were so cleverly worded that I am sending you the wordingin case you know some pledges who can't think of a ver e for their . invitations to their superior .

"The 18th of March is the night you're invited The night we four pledges would be delighted To have you come to our own Amy's farm Where we will be sure to keep you warm There's only one thing that we will require Wear a bit of green in your attire.

Half past seven's the time we tart Come prepared to take your part! " Don't you think we have clever pledges? I do.

Perhaps you think all we lpha Gammians do is give and go to parties but we really do more than that. We are all very busy now, especially the seniors. It is almost time for Easter vacation and we have a lot to do before we go home, then we only have four weeks of school after we come back from vacation.

We had installation of four of our new officers April 7. These officers are, President, Ada St. Clair, Vice President, Rheve Miller, Registrar, l\Iildred Baumgardner and Treasurer, Katherine Dietrick.

I guess that is all the news for this time. I gues this is my last

Cataloguing My Books Did you ever try looking for a book at home, when you aren't sure which bookcase it is in or on which shelf? If you have you know that it i like "looking for a needle in a haystack." For years our family ha been doing that sort of thing

with. the _vague idea f r medying the 1tuat10n alway in the ba k of it mind.

The other clay a waYe of ambition wept over me. The de ire t be able to lay a finger on a book when I wanted it and to find out what we had became tronger than the thought of the terrible job ahead of me. ince our books are the accumulation of year , from uncle , and great grandparent aunts down to the pre ent day they are of many vari etie .

Equipped with a package of small cards, on which the author and the name of the book wa to be written, and a duster; the catalouguing was begun. ince the children's book seemed a likely place to start I went ahead with them. As it happen children's books are apt to be very th in ther fore more can fit on a shelf. It wasn't long before I began to think-as they say in lang- that I had bitten off more than I could chew. To make matter more di couraging, my family after finding out what was going on pa ed remark such as, "Do you realize the ta k you are undertaking?" and my mother said emphatically, "Don't expect me to help you."

During this time, a table wa set up, on which all the book waiting to go in with their own clas were plac~d. After a day or o the overflow of books on the table extended to the floor: but the work went on steadily. bout thi time I could ee that my mother wa beginning to weaken, becau e he didn't like to ee such a me around. oon after" ards he had her O\\'n pen, cards,

February 2 , five of our re ent pledge were initiated int member hip in the • rt Gallery at Drexel. It wa a mo t impre ive ervice. Jane ry . Dot Ilutton, etty Me utcheon Loi :\Ieadowcroft, and Peg Peeling were w !com d into our i terho d at that time. Following thi , we had a pled e dinner at \\'hitman in th tr :\Iirror Room .

Ilelen eibel wa hairman f the inner, which wa a very ucce ful and njoyable one. Helen uck wa a charming t a tmi ·tre ; and :\Iarjorie hamber , r tiring pre ident, welcomed the new girl .

THE PHOENI X \Vinnie Lou Hawley made a peech on per onality, Sybil Weller talked about poise, Hope Morri on poke on power, and Flo Reiff reminded u of our purpose. Miss Richmond, hapter Advi ser, advi sed u to "Mind Your P's and Q' ," and Betty Towner, whose singing was such a succe s in the recent Pi Kap Minstrels, did several numbers for us.

Speaking of the Pi Kaps- in other words Alpha Upsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Phi-who live almost across the street from the Dormitory, and who are a grand bunch, they co-operated with us at a Pi Kap-Alpha Sig party March 4, at the fraternity house. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson of Drexel's faculty were chaperones. Everyone had a grand time. Bridge, dancing and eating were enjoyed by the gals and boys, and there are rumors about of making in an annual affair. The Pi Kap men are our "brothers" on the Drexel campus.

Dottie Crook, our National VicePresident, entertained N u u's officers at a party at her darling apartment February 26. Momie Mcintyre, our sponsor, and Miss Richmond were also there. Margie Chambers and yours truly carried off the prizes in the games we played-everyone enjoyed it immensely. And not that we want to cast any reflections on our Mrs. Crook's housekeeping-but ask her sometime why she throws shoes around the dining room floor and hangs old shoelaces on the doorknobs? t a recent meeting, Dot Ritchie was chosen chairman of College

路 ight at Convention, and Hope I orri on wa el cted o our fficial delegate to onvention, and Chairman of the exhibi t.

Sixteenth Trip From his father's travels grew his desire to sail into the unchartered Northern lands. Commander MacMillan, just returned from hi sixteenth expedition continued, "It gets a grip on a fellow. I'll keep on going, I suppose. Soon it'll be the seventeenth, eighteenth and then the nineteenth ti111e."

The thought of enduring a 60 below zero temperature sends chills up and down the spines of most of us but the Commander told us of driving dog-teams for as many as 15 hours in sub-zero weather on a breakfast of biscuit and frozen pemican.

N orth Pole in 路a cea.n He startingly stated that "th e North Pole has never been found ," but qualified his statement with the explanation that the pole is an infinitesimal point. No instrument is exact enough to measure it. He also told us that contrary to popular belief the North pole is in the middle of an ocean , surrounded by a great dead world of drifting ice.

What do arctic explores wear ?

He smiled, "Clothes made of th e skins of animals that endure the sub-zero weather temperatures.

Pants are made from polar bear skins, coats from reindeer skin s, stockings from arctic hares and shoes from the front paws of polar bears."

Will You Share My Experience?

PHI PHI

A few week ago aptain Carl von Hoffman, who is a recognized ethnologi t and who has worked in frica for twenty years, was on our campus giving a series of lectures.

I ju t mu t tell you my experience and more about the Captain von Hoffman. I wish everyone of you could have been with us that evening when a friend and myself went into a down-town drug store and there was introduced to von Hoffman. After he had chatted awhile with us and nearly everyone else was gone we suggested that he go over and eat with us and he accepted. That was the beginning of our evening, for while we drank coffee von Hoffman related many of his experiences. He is such a capable speaker and tells his experiences so colorfully that it made ou r evening even more interesting.

Captain von Hoffman was born in Riga, a province of Russia, where he was brought up among tribal clans whose legends excited his curiosity. At the age of 14, he ran away from the military academy at St. Petersburg to fight in the Russo-Japanese War. He came to America, later, and became a newspaper correspondent, making t he first motion picture record of the United States Navy in maneuvers. Since graduating from college he has spent some twenty years in Africa where he made a study of the native tribes and their live and characteristics. He has circled the globe several times, making pictures and writing his experiences.

Today several of his books are suggested class-room references.

A. S. A. Crosses Y e , the idea came to me when I was itting in class one day. J ow don't tell me, I know I should have been listening to my Math instructor, but instead I was gazing at a picture of a cro s some one had drawn on the board. uddenly, I concieved the idea that I could make a cro s fairly ea y, so when I went home for the week-end I proceeded to do it.

I found some oft, ub tantial wood and carved my cross. Then I took and old fish hook and cut it half into, stuck it in the end of the cross thus making it possible to wear on a chain. When this wa done I burnt A~A on the cross driver. When I shellaced the cross it was (believe it or not ) really pretty.

Now, every girl on our Ball tate Campus who is an Alpha ig i wearing one of these crosse .

It isn't ?O much, but the idea 1s our own and we're proud of it. ]EA N McCARTY, Chi Chi.

THE PHOENIX Twelve dances and numerous encores were played by the Var ity Club orche tra. The program conisted of the grand march, " nchors weigh;" two song by Bernice Bradley, collegiate representative, "I'd Love to Take Orders From You" and "Shipmates Forever;" and a ailor dance by special guest, Doris Church.

All of us are rather proud oi the uccess of this dance, our fir t a a part of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and if charming compliments count for anything our guests enjoyed the occasion as much as we.

On March 15, we held our dertion and the new officers are as follows: Freda Marie James, Sand Springs, is the new president; Virginia \.V ells, Porter, vice-president; Gertrude Carney, Cromwell, secretary ; Mary Beers, Muskogee, treasurer; Faye Fletcher, Broken Arrow, 路e ditor; and Helen Louise Ford, 1uskogee, registrar. For collegiate representative we re-elected Bernice Bradley, and Hazel Phillip is the second member on the Panhellenic Council.

On the twenty- econd five girl were initiated into the sorority.

They were Betty Harmon, Webbers Falls; Faye Levy, Muldrow; Mildred Waggoner, Tulsa; and M:ucella May and Irene Powers, both of Muldrow.

Friendship-what a golden aura su rrounds that wo rd for mo t girl just entering college. How eagerly they look forward to acquiring new f ri encls-someone to hare their fun, to advise and encourage them in both the bleak and gay moment that clot college lif e, omeone to understand them, their ideal and ambitions. That is what they expect to find in a so rority sister. And to be ready to offer such friend hip, a chapter must have chosen its members wisely, guided them with understanding in th eir socializing development, and have taught them well the tenets of its deep-rooted ritual.

There are a lot of things that the poor little rushee expect of the so rority-only we're too engro eel in what the sorority expects of the rushee to realize it. You say she's ophisticated. nowaday , and know s everything there is to know about sororities before she reaches college.

No one needs to pity the rushee. It isn't like the old days when folks believed that old myth about the girl who ate her lettuce and wa n't pledged. Well, maybe so. But my experience has been that while today s rushee looks smarter and more chic than ye terday's, down undernea th she is the same little ru shee, frightened to death that she
