Epsilon Epsilon Ka nsas State Teachers College Emporia , Kansas Although school has not been in season very long, the Alphas here have been extremely busy. Our year started off, of course, with rush and the theme "Around the World with A "2.A ." We all dressed and decorated according to the country we were representing. Rush was very successful for we pledged wonderful girls! Soon after school started, freshmen cheerleading elections were held. One of our new pledges, Sue Ann Cooper, was selected to be one of the three freshmen cheerleaders. We are indeed proud to say that we now have three Alpha cheerleaders! The national honor fraternity, Blue Key, sponsored a Blue Key Darling contest. T he Alphas had three contestants. They were: Cecelia (Ceil ) Slayman, Kathy Bodine, and Karen Barnes. Two Alphas were selected to run for offices on the United Student Party ticket. Karen Easter was put up to run for sophomore representative to the Union Activities Council and Diane Lammy was put up to run for secretary-treasurer of the sophomore class. Both these Alphas won their offices and are now proudly serving our campus . Three of our girls were selected to serve on the Union Activities Council. They are Cherrie McGrew, Dawn Banz, and Andee Wiler. We are doing something new this year. We are having a Dad's Day October 15 and 16. We invite our dads to spend the weekend with us. We are taking them to the football game on Saturday, and that night they are staying at our house. Our pledges seem to have a great deal of enthusiasm! For a money-making project, they had a Powder-P uff football game October 9. They challenged another sorority's pledge class and charged admission. A few of the fraternity boys served as cheerleaders! That was quite a sight ! Incidentally, I think our pledges had something like 17 different coaches! November 5 is the date for homecoming. The overall theme is "Landmarks of the Ole' West." Everyone is having floats this year. Our theme is "The Silver Dollar Saloon." To conclude our newsletter, we saved the best news for last! We are indeed proud to announce that we have six girls nominated for homecoming queen. This constitutes one-tliird of all the candidates! They are: Diane Baumann (Tau Kappa Epsilon), Kathy Hungate (Sigma Phi Epsilon), Suze Anne Shoults (Sigma Tau Gamma), Karen Barnes (Men's Dorm), Dorothy (Mort) Watt (Women's Dorm), and our own candidate, Diana Waggoner. It looks as if we are going to have another successful year, and we sincerely hope that all the other Alphas throughout the United States have a successful year also !- LOTTIE KoEHN
