In retrospec t it seems th a t often a not one remembe rs things most vividly tha t we re m ere ly incidental a t th e time. There was the time we were return ing to M a nil a from a n exciting boat trip to Pagsanj a n F a lls. Our g uide asked us a nd the Austra lia n couple with whom we'd tra veled tha t hot Sunday if we'd like to stop a t a cock fig ht. We thought th a t would be interesting, and it wasn't long before we found ourse lve in a standing-room-only crowd of excited ma le fans . Much to our embarrassment those av id fans who'd come early enoug h to sec ure choice front row seats we re urged to give them to us- their foreig n g uests. This fee ling of genuine friendliness wa encounte red aga in and again. We were cajoled into placing a bet and were comple te ly unpre pa red for th e speed y demise of o ur bird.

One of the most exciting experience was the trip through the floating ma rke ts on the

be having to stay where I was, so I asked the guide if we couldn't go down over the route- we'd used ascending. He was agreeable so I clutched his hand desperately, concentrating only on the next step, and the outcome is obvious. I made it but had extremely ore leg muscles the next few days.

It was in our hotel in this area that we saw our first lizards. We had been forewarned that these were to be looked upon with favor, as their function was to eat less desirable creatures. My husband observed that this arrangement could scarcely be expected to work in our room since we had an especially small lizard and an equally outized cockroach. However, I might report that one of my screeches sent the latter into hiding.

The fact that we'd seen the Brinkley Hong Kong Report on TV a nd read recent magazine articles on the refugee situation in Hong Kong before we left home somewhat prepared us for the disturbing living conditions of the thousands upon thousands who pour in from Red China. The government cannot possibly provide ufficient resettlement housing. As a consequence people live in shacks on mountain sides under constant threat of landslides or on rooftops or, in some instances. right in the street. We were impressed with the tolerance natives showed for these "squ a tters."

In Macao, the tiny Portugese colony on the China mainland, we saw three-, four- , and five-year-old refugee children working on firecrackers. '"'e were as amazed at their skill as we were saddened by their poverty and living conditions.

Formosa, the former name for T a iwan , means "beautiful island" and the sight of the luxuriant growth, the terraced mountainsides, and the well-kept farms makes the visitor agree that it is a beautiful island . The oriental magnificence of the Grand Hotel at Taipei is something to be remembered. It was when we were entering this country that the customs officials took our transistor radio until we could be given a license for it; then, as we were leaving, they asked to see the license and the radio. They're too close to Red China for comfort! They permit no refugees to enter the country.

TilE ANCHOR

Four days in Honolulu on the way out and two in Anchorage, Alaska, on the way back are worthy of more than a mere sentence but I'll conclude this report with ' some generalizations.

We weren't quite prepared for the fact that there is no middle class in the Orient. With the possible exception of Japan, the people are either very poor or very wealthy.

We found people superstitious, especially in Thailand, and had difficulty in adjusting to the idea of women laborers and the fact that people work long hours, seven days a week. It was amusing to notice that the Japanese are germ conscious to th e point of wearing gauze masks when they have colds and sore throats, yet I noticed people drinking from a common cup on trains and in other pub lic places. Both men and women in Japan carry personal items- lunches, parcels, and even purses- in a cloth tied in a knot.

Someone has said that there are three phases of a big event- anticipation, realization, a nd recollection. We had six months of the first, nearly six weeks of the second, and we're hoping for years and years of the third .

W'e're so happy we went while we're still agile enough to endure the rigors involved in seeing so much in so short a time.

Alumnae Everywhere To those of you who have contributed to Alpha Sigma Tau's Expansion, Social Service and Publication Funds for the past year, we wish to say thG!nk you.

Penland, N .C. ;t ALL su mmer, in a superbly scenic setting

3,000 feet above sea level in the Blue Ridge Mountains, th e dozen buildings of the P en la nd School of H a ndicraft are beehive of industry. M en and women of a ll ages may be found weaving cloth on ha ndloom of diverse types, "th rowing" vases on the potters' wheels, hammering copper bow ls into hape, designing a nd executing silver mountings for native gems they've cut a nd polished after finding them on guided trips through the surrounding mountains, noted for their variety of minera ls.

In addition to the major crafts- weaving, ceramics, meta lwork and lapidary- the 20 topflight instructors on the schoo l's ummer staff a lso instruct in more tha n 50 minor or "rela ted" crafts as they're called here. These range from such comp licated a rts as silk screening, b lock printing, stenciling, a nd leath er tooling, to chair seating, gimp work, cork and fe lt crafts.

Corn Shucks to Candles The a lmost end less variety of technique taught extends, a lso, into such na tive crafts as corn shuckery, hooked and braided rugs, vegeta ble dye ing, basketry, a nd candle makmg .

The school, which has dormitory capacity for 80, has dra wn students from every part of the world except Austra lia. More tha n 300 students a nd observers have, over the years, been enrolled a t Pen land . Some have returned as teachers to impart to their co untrymen the techn ique of variou crafts they lea rned here.

Several Penla nd instructors have visited various European craft centers, and some remained to take courses in ad vanced weaving techniques peculiar to Swed en and Finland.

They instructed craftsmen of those countries in the various methods taught at Penland.

With ICA Mission H oward C. Ford, for many years an instructo r at Penla nd, is now with the U. S. International Cooperation Administration's Mission to Korea. H e h as held similar a signments in India, Afghanistan, and L ebanon related to the development a nd marketing of handicraft of those countries. Mr .

Ford has continued as registrar of the school, a nd was acting director during the ab ence of Miss Lucy C. Morgan in Europe.

Althourrh she was on a sabbatica l, Mi Lu cy, during the last six month , pent principally in Switzerland, learned ne\ techniques in woodcru ing and other raft to brinrr back to Penland on her r turn .

THE

.H R

A native of a nother part of the Blue Ridge, Miss Lucy came in 1920 to this then isolated community as a schoolteacher. Realizing the need of her mountain neighbors for increased incomes she started a reviva l of weaving and other' handicrafts that had practically disappeared, a nd she developed markets for the attractive articles 63 weavers eventually were producing under her direction .

International R ecognition This resulted in the organization, in 1923, of a local cooperative, the Pen land Weavers and Potters, a nd to the found ing, in 1929, of another non-profit institution, the Penland School of H a ndicrafts, which has won internationa l recognition.

Until the original fam1 bui ldings were replaced, large ly through mu ltiple sma ll donations by students and friends, the schoo l could be kept open only during the summer, for several terms of three weeks each. Later a fall term , mid-August to mid -December, a nd a spring term, mid-March to mid-June, were add ed.

Holiday Season F or the last four years two of the m a m bui ldings have been opened during t he C hristmas season to permit the school to be host to grou ps of nationals of other countries spending orne time in the United States as studen ts or observers a t various locations, under auspices of the U.S. Department of State and other government agencies, and the American Cou ncil on Education.

Every one who has been to Penland, as either student or visitor, is impressed by the complete informality and genuine friendliness that prevails among students, instru ctors, and residents of the surrounding area.

Misrepresentation of One Million Students

by N.S.A.! . . . The following article is reprinted from "The Crescent of Gamma Phi Beta" of March, 1961.

The author, Kay Wonderlic, is an undergraduate and a member of the r<I>B chapter at Northwestern Uruversity. Vice president af the Student Senate, she represented Northwestern at the NSA Congress this summer. "To correct what is a serious situation within NSA," says Kay, "will take a knowledge and devotion equal to that of the NSA leaders." <\".. O uR government has severed diplomatic relations with Cuba, but American youth remains on record wishing to help Cubans in their university reform movement.

The United States ational Student Association (known as NSA ) passed a resolution in August saying, " . . . the extent and direction of the recent university reform can not yet be ascertained. . . ." Nevertheless, it concluded that American students should aid the movement. This resolution has been sent around the world, presumably speaking for American student opiruon, but NSA does not reflect the thoughts and sentiments of the American student!

W hat is NSA? What is NSA? The association claims 1,300,000 student members, or the tota l enrollment of the 350 member colleges and universities. In the name of American students, NSA for 13 years has spoken before United States Congressional committees and acted as a political pressure group in Washington, where it maintains a permanent staff.

NSA also votes for America's youth at international student meetings. A president of a foreign student union has said that in his country NSA is assumed to be voicing the opinions of American students. Now, living in this country, this foreign student realizes NSA speaks only for the opiruons of the few individuals "who run NSA."

8

NSA, contrary to its preamble (which states, "We, the students of the Uruted States of America ..." ) and the impression it attempts to achieve, does not insure nor even encourage true representation. NSA says it can peak for American tud ents because member schoo ls send delegates to the annual " congress," a ummer convention during which reso lutions are passed. What 1 SA fails to recognize is the fact that these delegates are rarely elected by member schools.

They are not se lected on the basis of knowledge of the subjects to be discussed, nor knowledge of how the students they repreent feel on the subjects.

Topics covered at the congress are not geared to current issues on member campuses, but to areas where NSA officers feel the campuses should be concerned. In other words, a few officers try to create interests for students with whose interests they are generally unfamiliar. No organization can reflect a non-existent sentiment. Under such conditions delegates can neither reflect nor represent student opiruon.

In 14 hours, one of the five committees at the 1960 congress passed 44 resolutions.

This allows an average of about 20 minutes for debating each resolution in a committee of more than 200 delegates!

The subjects that this committee attempted to debate and the problems they tried to resolve are not conducive to such cursory treatment. Here are a few examples, titles of resolutions passed by this committee: Cuba, Nuclear T esting, Africa, Latin American Policy, South Korea-Turkey, J apan, India, Ethiopia, Hungary, Totalitarianism, Eastern European Exchange, and World Youth Forum.

During the summer, NSA sponsors a n 8week seminar for 15 students, hand-picked by the National Executive Committee of NSA, to tudy a few of these areas. This is THE

.H R

recegnition of the complexities involved in these problems and the need for careful consideration of them. Yet, Congress delegates are expected to pass resolutions m these areas and more in a few hours.

Facts? Or distortions?

"Background papers" are distributed to aid delegates who are not "totally familiar" with all the issues being discussed. The papers are usually written by national staff a nd executive committee members. Often, they tell only one side of a crucial, highly debatable issue. The " background papers" are frequently quoted in the section of resolutions labeled as " fact." What fin ally appears in this section of each resolution is often an opinionated distortion ta ted with pretentious certainty.

For example, a resolution claiming to give "th e facts" on the controversial and hotly debated House Un-American Activities Committee states simply that the Committee "violates personal rights and endangers free expression."

This seems to be the pattern in NSA resolutions: high ly op iniona ted material quick ly approved by weary delegates who ceme to the convention with little or no knowledge of what they will be expected to know.

"Whether we are right or not is irrelevant, we must speak," a top NSA offi cer explains.

And so, for the sake of getting delegates to act, committee chairmen push through resolutions from the cha ir. They speak for motions and then preside over the vote. Because this tactic leads to a dogmati1:ally derived decision, no book on parliamentary proced ure a llows it.

Students warned they must revolt!

Idealism reaches a peak a t NSA congresses as delegates are told of the "common bond a mong students throughout the world" and are warned they must revolt against traditiona l and outmoded practices, both on the na tional a nd international level.

At the 1960 congress, NSA sponsored a panel on the sit-in movement. The "panel" consisted of Negro participants in the movement, their defending la wyer, and a white girl who volunteered as a secretary for the leaders of the movement. To add to the THE ANCHOR

emotional pitch of the meeting, delegates were led in songs of the sit-in movement.

That some of the delegates from southern schools walked out of the meeting was not surprising.

The moderator, an NSA officer, was the same individual who was largely responsible for NSA taking a stand in favor of supporting the sit-ins-a stand which was taken without a vote of member schools, without consultation with them, and without notifying them of the decision before involved schools read it in their community newspa pers.

No minority reports . . . no minutes NSA fails to provide information regarding the trem endous dissents which have occurred a nnua lly at the congresses. Minority reports are not published. Minutes of the meetings are not distributed, even to m embers. The "brotherhood of youth" that is spoken of so frequently in NSA sessions seems a reality when NSA bluntly states that all 1,300,000 members feel "yes" or " no" on politically hot issues.

The discrepancy between actual and claimed representation continues. It becomes a glaring fact when it is realized that only 13 of 97 resolutions discussed at the 1960 congress were voted upon by the delegates! The rest were decisions of the NEC, the National Executive Committee, which consists of regional officers a nd nationa l officers.

This group, with 34 voting members, has the constitutional power to decide stands and programs for the 1,300,000 members. It meets immediately after the summer congress and passes resolutions which are on the books for a year before they can be altered or reversed by m ember schools. Almost tw@thirds of all NSA resolutions, and all of the NSA programs, are the product, not of thinking on 350 college campuses, but of discussion a round the NEC table.

Non-violent protests in Japan upheld In September, 1960, the NEC passed a resolution upholding the J apanese riots which kept a United Sta tes President from visiting the country. The consequences of the rioting, and the suspicion that it was led

by Japanese Communists was not mentioned

9

in the "fact" section of this resolution. It was called a "student demonstration" and the NEC put NSA on record as upholding the right of these students "to non-violently protest actions which they consider unjust or und emocratic."

It was mid-December, four months after the passage of this resolution, that member schools were notifi ed of the decision. Even then, it was merely included in a codification of 140 other reso lutions. With one copy of this codification being sent to each member school, the chances that this resolution, or any other, would be noticed a nd discussed are sma ll. If member schools shou ld object to a n NEC reso lution, or suggest modifications, their criticisms are neither recorded nor published.

Even merribers of the N EC were unclear as to what th ey passed concerning J apan.

Of three contacted during the four months, on e denied it was passed, one said he didn't know if it had been, a nd the other said a reso lution to that effect was passed, but he cou ldn't reca ll specifics of it. Even as the NEC was unsure of its decision, and members uninformed, copies of resolutions were sent around the world.

A resolution of the EC is supposed to be retained only if affirmed by the congress the following year. This has been easily sid estepped. R eso lutions go to the congress and , because the NEC doesn' t put them high enough on the priority list (wh ich determin es the order in which they wi ll be discu ssed ) , time doesn't a llow their passage by the congress and they are again sent to the NEC, and again passed as NSA opinion.

By this me thod a reso lution to abo lish compu lsory membership lists for all student organizations has existed for four years without ever being voted upon by m ember sch0ols. This does not stop N SA officia ls [r(T)m pressuring for the goa ls of such resolutions. Manda tes may be involved, which will be carried out just as mandates from the congress. Un ited States Congressmen will be told that this is what the youth of the na tion desires.

A representative organ for American students?

Through its regional structure, SA claims

10

the EC is representative. However, the regional votes are not proportional. For instance, the Utah region has five member schools and one vote on the NEC; the New England region has 51 member schools and only 2 votes on the NEC . NEC members rarely discuss the i sues they vote on with representatives from schools in their region.

A school is unable, through the association, to find out how its representative votes at the NEC sessions.

Inserted in the 1960 congress program, NSA gave a histo ry of NSA which concluded with this remark, " Accurately reflecting the feelings of student on m ember campuses, USNSA's structure provides a representative organ for America n students, despite the pluralistic heterogeneity of the nation's system of higher edu cation."

How can SA substa ntia te this claim?

M any of us who belong to SA are just beginning to learn the hypocrisy of the statement.

SA does not represent those in its membership, its structure precludes the possibility.

M a ny who belong to NSA are unaware that they do. Schools join and leave SA according to the whims-or fears- of individuals in campus student governments. Few studen ts know or care anything about NSA. It doesn't harm them, they think . It helps them once in a whi le with pamphlets to refer to on campus p roblems.

T he greatest apathy of all is being demonstrated by the more than one million students who are a llowing SA to speak for them in this unrepresentative manner. In the past, ma ny of those who have opposed SA, or wished to reform it, have found its leadership had too much of a stronghold to b e broken with the small effort they were willing to put forth. To correct what is a seriou situation within NSA, will take a knowledge a nd devotion equ a l to that of the NSA leaders. Those students who are concerned abou t the implica tion of TSA, who desire a democratic form of representation, and who believe tha t speaking with knowledo-e i more important than emotional rantino-s, do not have the ad antage of full time alaried A. But ther ar more leader hip, a doe (Continued on Page 20)

PAYS TRIBUTE TO THREE RE'TIRING GRAND AD VISERS

HELEN M. FRANK Beloved Adviser of Psi Chapter ;\; IT rs indeed an honor to be requested to write words of praise and appreciation for one who has given so much of herself to Alpha igm a Tau fo r the past seventeen years. To do Psi' s beloved advi er, Miss Helen M . Frank, justice for the many hours, worries a nd countless headaches wo uld take a note from each Psi girl personally.

Last year Miss Frank retired as R egistra r of M adison Co ll ege, a position she most capab ly fill ed. She spent evera l months trave ling in South America but was still vitally helpful to Psi C hapter a nd m ade herse lf available when she was in H arrisonburg. She felt this year that she mu st give up her duti es as a n active adviser which she has been since Psi was insta lled as a ch apter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Miss Fran k plan to stay in close contact with the Psi girls a nd to help to get a more active Alumnae Chapter in H arrisonburg.

Words are quite inadequate when it comes to saying "Thank you" to someone who h as shown such devotion and loyalty, guidance and good advice. Two years ago we started a H elen M. Frank Scholarship Fund at Mad ison College to show our appreciation of Miss Frank's efforts. This we hope to continue many years, giving it to a J unior who meets THE ANC HOR

I am sure I speak for my Psi sisters as well as myself when I say I appreciate being a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. To Miss Frank we give our heartfelt thanks for the many years of unselfish devotion in guiding Psi members and for keeping the chapter among the strongest of Alpha Sigma Tau. Her strong belief in the high ideals of our sorority has made the lives of several hundred mem-

bers of this chapter richer. To her may we extend our love and best wishes for health, happiness and may all of her long awaited trips be filled with pleasure and happy memories for years to come.

" passed on" to me through my twenty years of orority contacts.

On e Saturday morning in 1936, a group of interested st udents. who saw the need of another sorority on Radford College campus, came to invite me to be their adviser. My sorority contacts were limited to my observation of th e activities of Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Sigma Alpha, the two sororities then on the campus. I was hesitant and accepted only after I had read their purposes and pla.n. and had met the fifteen tudents who were to become the charter members of the local sorority, Lambda Sigma Pi. I was ure if I could help them develop in themselves and others the ideals they had set for the new sorority, I would be helping to perpetuate qualitie of living in which I believed and which I knew would enrich the lives of college students. Lambda Si!!IIla Pi became a leading sorority on the campus, drawing into its membership out tanding students who held high the torch of loyalt service, and per onality. Their life on the campus merited invitation from e\路 ral national sororities.

In the fall of 1952 after Pi Kappa igma THE

had been organized on the campu , we felt it was time to consider "going national." We had never felt a real need for the change since the local sorority had been a very successful organization on the campus. The college had grown to where we thought national affiliation would make for a more balanced sorority program a t the college. We studied sororities and finally decided to invite Miss Janet Calfee, Southern District President of Bluefield, West Virginia, to come for a visit.

When she had presented the organization, purposes, and plans of Alpha Sigma Tau, we felt as if we had listened to a description of Lambda Sigma Pi. She thanked us for decorating in AST co lors and placing the yellow rosebud on the desk. We had only used the beloved colors and flowers of Lambda Sigma Pi, maybe a coincidence, but- "I think it started down its pathway bright, The day the Maker said: 'Let there be light'."

THE ANCHOR

On January 12, 1953, Alpha Lambda chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was organized on Radford College campus. The national office permitted us to retain Lambda in our chapter name, for which we were thankful.

We are very happy to have inherited such lovely AST sisters. Our national affiliation has been enjoyable, stimulative, and helpful.

We shall look forward to years of AST growth with Alpha Sigma Tau. I shall become assistant dean of women a t Radford College in Sept mber, 1961, therefore, I shall have to serve in a more neutra l capacity and transfer my "AST Daughters" to Miss Evelyn Fitzpatrick, who will serve as advisor of Alpha Lambda Chapter. She is a n Assistant Professor of Edu cation and a wonderful person whom everyone loves and appreciates. Our college president, who knows of my love and devotion to the sorority said, "We can change your job but not your heart. " So true!

I sit in my study this afternoon and look down the "path" of the years. I am surrounded on all sides by voices that call out, " Mommie, do you remember? ... The wonderful programs in our dear sorority room when you sat in your 'gold chair' under your picture ; the rush parties when you played any part we assigned you from Davy Jones to the Queen of Friendship Island ; the picnics on your lawn under the oaks; the beautiful Founder's Day Programs held at interesting and unique places ; the Thanksgiving basket carried to humble homes; the many Christmas Parties held around your fireside with your dear father and mother enjoying us noisy girls; the many people to whom we brought Christmas cheer- the old woman to whom we took money and happiness as we crowded into her little dark room and sangthe old couple who received us so joyfully as we delivered a ton of coal on a bleak December night- the family of indigent children to whom we furnished toys, clothing, and food for several years- the Christmas Party for the children whose father was killed in service ; the party for prospective patronesses; the lovely 'Sweetheart Banquets' when we crowned the 'Sweetheart of A.S.T.'; the climactic cabin parties of the spring with the unexcelled food, fun, and

13

fellowship; the 'cabin initiation'; confession night with its revealing secrets; the yellow rose bud left in the senior's room on the last day of school; and lastly, Mommie, the many, lovely laughs and tears we enjoyed together?"

I covet for each adviser a "path" such as mine-both from the service a nd satisfaction point of view. I a lmost feel selfish to accept

the H elen R. Garmon Adviser Award which was so graciously presented to me at the National Convention in Washington last year. I am so indebted to all of which I have been a part, I feel as if I'd like to present a ilver plate to each of you. I am ure Alpha Sigma Tau sisters will continue to "hold high the torch."

Bittersweet for the Zeta Taus At Longwood College in Farmville

by MRS. BOICE WARE, Alumnae Representative ;\; THis YEAR presents a blend of sad ness and anticipation to the collegiates and alumnae of the Zeta Tau Chapter in Virginia: Mi s Virginia Bedford, be loved adviser since 1935, is resigning that post due to pressure of other

duties, a nd Mrs. Rose Brook , wife of the Chairman of the Department of Education, is taking over the reins of guidance of Alpha.

Si.a ma Tau on the Longwood campus. ZT a lumnae everywhere realize with gratitude the gift of loving service that ' Miss Bedford" has given so un elfishly over the years . H er kind and steady influence led many a bewild ered officer to understand issues more clearly and, in an ex-officio capacity, thi same gentle leadership will continue to permeate the lives of the girls in the AST famil y.

Truly, Virginia Bedford teaches by example, and her " stamp" is upon many who try to emulate h er gracious examp le of womanliness.

While regretfully accepting Mis Bedford' resignation, the Zeta Tau's were grateful to know that Mrs. Richard Brooks would officia lly be their adviser to help them through this, their first year of early ru h. Mrs. Brooks, in tailed as adviser last sprina, ha a lready hown pride and interest in the affairs and accomplishment of Alpha. Siama Tau . Let's meet these two per onalitie so important to AST gu idance and liaison with the administration and the faculty.

Miss Virginia Bedford, beloved adviser of Alpha Zeta Chapter, is resigning her post after many years of unselfish service.

the hospitality of a small Virginia community as her own. Here she taught until she became restless to prove further her ability in the worlds of teaching and of art, thus her MA degree from Columbia University. Back at STC (later named Longwood ) ceramics ami enameling on copper and silver became her special areas of concentration and interest whenever the demands of her chairmanship of the art department permitted. ot content with the " presently adequate," Vir.ginia Bedford enlarged and reshuffied her concepts of wh a t ART should m ean in a teacher's college. To meet this challenge demanded further study at Columbia, at H arvard (under a Carnegie Grant ) , a t 0 hio State, and at the Universities of ew Hampshire and of T ennessee. Perhaps most fascina ting and exciting was a sa turation of the beautiful crafts of M exico during regional tours and study a t Guadalajara.. . . . The M exican influ ence is evident in the decor of the " retreat" Miss Bedford designed, h er sm a ll redwood ranch house fi lled with cun ning ly-crafted samples of ceramic birds, plump, smooth shapes splashed with design a nd color, a nd ma ny other evidences of art craft.

A career wom a n doesn' t always have lots of spa re time for cra ft , however. Always there's the lawn, th e house, the flowers, Woma n's C lub, AA W, . ta te a nd regional art groups and community projects to dem a nd th a t rare commodity, a n a.fternoon off. All these interests m ay lo e out to a .game of golf, however, if the weather is right! A two-time winner of th e C lub Cha mpionship Flight, Mi s Bedford recommends the weekend foursome as a relaxing departure from work.

Of resigning as adviser, Miss Bedford writes : " M y be t friends in Virginia are a lumnae from the Zeta Tau Chapter of AST. It is with sincere regret that I sever the formal connection, but their plans and activities will a lways be in my heart. . . . All of my years at Longwood have been happy ones und er three fin e presidents whose ideas of progress in women 's education have been superior. Many friends in and out of the college and community have added richness to living and the sincere fe llowship of Alpha Sigma Tau women over the years has added THE ANCHOR

a special blessing."

In welcoming Rose Brooks as ad vise r, the ZT's, who thrive on variety, should fee l right at home. Mrs. Brooks's life is fill ed with a broad vista of interests a nd occupa tions tha t are sure to give her insights .into the ma nysided personalities of the girl in the Zeta T a u Chapter.

Althoucrh born in Bristol , T enn essee, Mrs. Brooks lived most of her life (until her marriage during World War II ) in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Moving about to variou s Army and co llege posts with her husband, Mrs. Brooks took advantage of each opportunity to study and work in new environments.

The purpose of this book i to develop solidly based and well thought-out programs for educa ting gifted children. It is a comprehensive presentation of research and theory, of organization and procedure, and of practice and personnel, which deals with the instruction of the gifted from infancy through the college years.

The book presents formal and informal m ethods iB identifying giftedness. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of special school programs, including those utilizing en' richment of curriculum, homogeneous grouping by IQ, and variou forms of acceleration.

It tells how pre en t and future pecial programs can be implemented on the elementary, econdary, and college le els, am:l how Evely n M.

THE

H R

potentials and problems of the gifted, together with the many suggestions for the instructional program for the groups, makes this book an important aid to teachers, school administrators and supervisors, and parents of gifted children.

The authors' definition of the gifted is: "those who possess a superior central nervous system characterized by the potential to perform tasks requiring a relatively high degree of intellectual abstraction or creative imagination or both."

Taking issue with educators who are opposed to special edu ca tion for the gifted, the book hows that giving such education is not

in the slightest at odds with democratic ideals. The authors advocate equal opportunity to enjoy advantages as contrasted with identical opportunity.

The book contains commentary and analysis of all five Stanford University's famous Genetic Studies of Genius, conducted by the la te Lewis M. Terman a nd his associates.

Two points of view are incorporated: that of the admin istrator and that of the active classroom teacher. Dr. Sumption administers programs for the gifted and chairs a committee for community planning for the gifted.

Dr. Luecking teaches gifted chi ldren in an experimental school.

The Y.W.C.A. Design for Living

What is the most rewarding is doing some thing th a t really m a tters with congenial colleagues who share with us th e firm con viction that it need to be done.' ' Alpha Sigma T a u is one of these hand les to a great design.

As we go on in life we will seek these h andles to the grea t design for an abund a nt life.

A .great American edu ca tor once asked, " Is your life a brush pile or a tree?" Th e contrast is a ppa rent. The brush pi le is a heap of broken branches. From a di ta nce it m ay look like a tree, but its bra nches have no communion with the living stem. They a re in the process of disintegration and decay while the tree is still alive, its branches vita lly re la ted on e to another . They feed upon soil and sun and bring forth flower and fruit.

a song, a poem or a flower arrangement. Each artist is confined- in painting he is limited by the size of the canvas; in music by the notes; in a cathedra l to the space; in a flower arrangement by the plant material- in living one's life you are only limited by time. The same principles which apply to design in the arts apply to the art of living.

Let us take the principles applied to creating a floral arrangement and app ly them to the great YWCA design for living. They are dominanc e, balance, contrast, rhythm and proportion. · D ominance in flower arrangement is achieved by presenting one outstanding structural feature to which all else is subordinated.

The YWCA is dominated by those ideals of personal and so ial living to which we are

20

committed by our faith as Christians. In this endeavor we seek to understand Jesus, to share his love for all people and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Balance in flower arrangement gives the feeling of stability and equilibrium. The YWCA program is a perfect balance between the body, mind and spirit, each given equal weight to create a balanced individual.

Contrast in flower arrangement is the unification of opposing elements to emphasize the dominant feature. The YWCA invites contrasts in creeds, economic status, nationality and race so that we can unify the contrasting elements into the dominant feature.

Rhythm is the unification of element which create the feeling of motion. In flower arrangements thi is often achieved by employing the flower bud, the full blown flower and the seed pod. There is great rhythm in the YWCA program. It is never static. It is a movement which meets the needs of women and girls as they arise decade after decade from generation to generation, always vital- always new.

Proportion in flower arrangement is the graceful relationship of one part to the other.

You have often heard of the rule-once and a half the height or width of a container which makes a proportioned arrangement.

Proportioning one's life as a woman is so much stressed today. You must be a wife, a mother, a career woman, a volunteer and a c1t1zen. In the YWCA we design the woman or girl so she can be good for everything.

In the YWCA we believe in the growth of the individual by associating people together in a democratic manner to build a Christian community.

As you grow and develop in life remember there are handles to a great design just waiting for you to take hold .

MISS AMY JEAN GREENE Alpha Gamma Chapter Adviser

A LADY WITH A LAMP

by W. H. Halliburton -:t ' A LADY With a Lamp shall stand in the great history of the Jand- A noble type of good h eroic womanhood."

H enry W adsworth Longfellow wrote the e lines a bout Florence Nightingale. They could well apply to many devoted women, including Miss Amy J ean Greene of Arkadelphia.

Miss Greene has held a lamp in her h and ever since she took up teaching as a profe sion, shortly after graduating from H enderson State Teachers College. After severa l years as a teacher of history at Arkadelphia High School, and after considerable gradu a te stu dy at Columbi a U niversity and the Univer ity of Arkansas, she was appointed to the faculty of h er a lma mater, where she is now associate professor of education.

A slogan at H enderson is: " A School With a H eart." Miss Greene e pitomizes this, as she actively engages in student activities on the campus. For some years she has been a cou nse lor of the choo l's service club known a "H eart and K ey," the purpose of which i to pre erve a nd propagate the H enderson spirit a nd m aintain the morale of the student body.

Miss Greene's first teaching experience, a t Arkadelphia High School, found her interesting h er classes in American and Arka nsas history.

As a result she still h as a n old trunk full of m anuscripts concerning episodes in the annals of C lark Cou nty, of which Arkadelphia is the cou nty seat. Having stirred the intellectu al curiosity of her high school pupils, she was elected to the facu lty of H enderson State, where socia l studies is her forte.

Dr. D. D. McBrien, H enderson president, THE ANCHOR

considers Miss Greene one of the college's greatest assets. R ecently, he said of her, " First of a ll, she is a teacher, a real teacher, who can be depended upon to put herself into her work a nd accomplish her purpose, while a t the same time endearing herself to her students a nd her colleagues. Nor does she confin e her activities to the classroom, for she

enthusiastically and ca pably counsels a nd directs the students in ma ny importa nt extracurricula r activities a nd is a lways ready to he lp them with their personal problems.

There is no way to m easure her value to this college o r the teaching profession . I s it any wonder tha t ma ny here a re inclined to think of Miss Amy J ean as Miss H enderson Sta te,' one whom all 'R eddies' everywhere respect. honor, a nd love?"

She is active in the work of a num ber of profession a l organizatio ns, such as: The Arka nsas Histo rica l Society, of which she has been president ; Arka nsas Edu cation Association, of which she has been first vice president ; Fu ture T eac hers of America a nd Ar ka nsas Pa rent-Teachers Associa tion in which she has been a leader ; The D a ug hters of the American R evolution, The American Association of University Women, American Pen V\1omen, a nd Arkansas Writers Conference, of which she has been chairma n.

Also she has been active in the Phi lha rmonic Club of Arkade lphi a a nd variou other g roups of her home city.

Another of her activities is teaching a women 's class in the First M ethodist Church Sunday School.

Until her teaching load became heavy a t Henderson, Miss Greene entered prominently into her home town activities. One of her outstanding services was the pla nning and directing of a pageant representing Arkadelphia's part in the observance of the Arkansas C entennial. This dealt largely with the history of Clark County and Arkadelphia. She had also pre pared and directed other pageants for various orga nizations, including her church.

Once she was lured to the weekly luncheon of the Lions Club, on some pretext. Before she kne w it she was being honored with the titles of " Woma n of the Year," and " First Citizen of Ark adelphia." Two tokens were presented : an orchid for her gracious and generous character, and a big American flag to symbolize her patrioti m . A speaker said, " Miss Greene h as imbued her pupils with the ideals of America. When they have gone to the wa rs, they have known wha t they were fighting for ."

22

It was fitting several years ago tha t Mis Greene was chosen as one of the 10 out ta nding citizens of Arkadelphia for the first half of the century. The local newspa per, which selected the out ta nding citizen on a popular vote basis, wrote: " She epitomizes the intelligence a nd culture of this college city."

It is true, there have been sunshine and flowers in Miss Greene's life. But there have been dark days, and suffering and g rief, also.

When she was re turning home from Columbia U niversity early one fa ll day in 1936, the a uto in which he was a pa senger with several other Arka nsas teachers had a collision with a nother car. Severa l were se rio usly injured, Miss Greene among them . She spent m any week in a hospita l with a crushed ankle, only to lea rn that the joint wo uld never be useful again . he was fitted with a steel brace on which she wa lks with unbelievable agility. People don' t long notice tha t Miss Am y J ean is lame, because her indomita ble spirit was never cru shed ; she has overcome wha t to a lesser p ersonage would be a g reat handicap. She ge ts about ably, wa lks a ll over the campus, d rives her car thousands of m iles a year, stands in the H eart and K ey refreshment sta nd a t Haygood Athletic Field and does as much work as her worshipful students.

Amy J ean Greene is th e da ug hter of Mrs. Joseph (Jodie ) Whittaker Greene and the la te Alva Perry Greene, m ember of pioneer families of Arkadelphia . She lives with her mother in a tree-shaded cottage on Courthouse Square near a Confedera te mon um ent.

Miss Greene h as many more yea r to teach before she reaches the age of retirement ; and so, this " Lady with a L amp" will continue to illumine the way for m a ny a student a t her beloved H enderson .

And who is the dispenser of the e tidbits of news to the taff at Central Office ? Dr. Parry F . Schippers, husband of our Expansion Director, Li l Schippers, whose office is down the ha ll from the Centra l Office of Alpha Sigma Tau. Parry Schippers was graduated from St. Louis University in 1930 with the degree of Doctor of D en ta l Surgery. He began the practice of Dentistry and in 1942 served in World War II as a dentist with the Ferry Command. O n hi release, he re umed hi practice at 5641 S. K ing highwa t. Loui Mo., where ub equentl the ntral ffi e THE

H R

of Alpha Sigma Tau also located.

Dr. Schippers assumes many roles in Alpha Sigma Tau. One of his favorites is the mother hen role. Anxious mothers call to ask if he will be working in his office this evening because if he is, daughter m ay come over to do the mimeogra phing or con路espond nee for Pi Chapter. Another role he enjoys is cheering up the girls a nd adding some interest to the routine like letting them in on a secret that h ypnosis is going to revolutionize the educa tional system a nd the medical p rofession is training a few se lected teachers now or that Elizabeth Wilson's new car h as been sideswiped by a bu s and would she come down and ta lk to the po licem an .

Still a nother role is genera l adviser on ba lky typewriters, fans etc. where a little oil applied to the right a perture m akes all the diffe rence. H e a lso m a kes himse lf useful by carrying bulky m ail, tra nsporting supplies a nd informa tion back and forth between Centra l Office a nd the Expa nsion Director, a nd giving advice on knotty sorority problems such as a lumnae organization. To spur new ch apter orga nizing, Pa rry suggests giving a free trip to M exico City to a nyone who organizes an alumnae chapter in her a rea.

The Expansion Director's life has been brightened for a good m any yea rs by Dr. Schippers. H e likes to leave impish mementoes in his wa ke such as dummies in the

ba throom, ice cubes in the bed, hazelnuts in Lil's hoes, lemons, pota toes a nd can open rs in her bag.

Dr. Schippers has diversified hobbies: collecting a ntique firearm , swords a nd fossils ; wide reading and the collecting of old books - the oldest is a N ew T estament and Prayer Book in La tin da ted 1588; antiqu e furnitu re and brass (he has an 18th centu ry C hinese incense burner ) ; co llecting D ix ieland records a nd old coins; travel- he has been th ro ugh the west, the south, Canada, the Caribbean (isla nd hopping J amaica, Pu erto Ri co, Aruba, St. Thomas, St. C roix, a nd St. J ohn ) ; a nd p ets- a n Easter pullet who turned out to be a rooster called Schennacarib because of his fighting propensities, Freckles, a brown a nd white cocker, and Eric the R ed, a cat whose charm and personality earn him tidbits from all the neighbors.

Alpha Sigma T a u considers Dr. Schippers almost as an associate member- he likes people immensely and Alpha Sigm a T a us in particula r. Of course the practical jokes he plays on p eople backfire on him once in a while. After he had given out free soda coupons to the children in the neighborhood redeemable at the downstairs pharmacy, the pharmacy staff picked up his car from the curb and placed it in front of his door.

Needless to say there is never a dull moment at 5641 South Kingshighway.

THIS WE BELIEVE (A composite of the philosophies of each member of Chi Chapter ) ;\; THERE is good in every individual. If we reap what we sow, we shou ld be doing our best.

Each is indebted to society. One should not accredit himself for what he has done, but should give credit to his fellow man.

Each man has a debt so great he must think of others instead of himself.

The little things in life mean so much ; they are stepping stones into the future.

We must live together peacefully as a group of fellow citizens striving to obtain our goals. We should develop an attitude of brotherly love and a spirit of cooperation by growing out of egocentricity. If our actions include kindness, thoughtfulness and love, we will obtain our goals and ambitions.

We shou ld have our own ideas and beliefs and yet we should be able to tolerate the ideas and beliefs of others. We get the most out of life by using our utmost ability.

Life gives us the chance to love, to work, and to play. The best in life comes from serving others.

We must be true to God- J usti e exists only in heaven . The on ly worthwhile life is spent in serving God. We should use C hri stian principals as a g uide in life.

One must be tru e to one' s self, to give of one's self, and to love one's country. One must do unto others as he would have th em do unto him. Without others, we achieve nothing. If we demonstrate our best to others they may profit by it.

We believe in the fulfillment of self and will strive to contribute our share to th e progress of mankind.

We believe that each and every one of us was put here on earth as an individual who has certain duties to perform. These duties which we perform should stem from those divine laws which God gave us long ago a nd not from those laws which a conforming society imposes on us . Vve should not sit apathetically by and watch the world and its peop le degrade these laws. It is our duty to uphold , abide by, and fight for them. This is our philosophy and the one which we deem will last for all time. -CI-ll CHAPTER

Collegiate News Alpha's Honky Tonk t SPRING semester was a very busy a nd fruitfu l one for the Alphas. The first and possibly biggest underta king of the semester was preparing for rush. All of our parties were very success[ ul. At the last closed party the rushees were entertained by a combo formed by our brother fra ternity, Sigma T au Gamma. The "Roaring Twenties" was the theme for our informa l pa rty. Entertainment was provided by our fl a ppers and root beer a nd pretze ls were served by our waiters.

We were rewarded for our efforts by taking nine wonderfu l p ledges : Charlotte Davis, Karen Ericksen, Carol Garrett, Brenda Marshall Margaret Maxey, Sue Scharnweber, Kris Segerlund, Marcia Speck and Betty Jo Waddington.

Alpha was hostess chapter at M ichigan Day this year. The affair was held on April 15, 1961 in Ann Arbor ; representa tives of chapters from Michigan, Il linois, and Indiana were present. The morning was devoted to getting acquainted and after luncheon we were entertained by a guest speaker.

The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Our parents' potluck was indeed an enjoyable event. This even t becomes more successful every year and both parents a nd daughters look forward to it.

At the Greek Carnival held this spring our booth won the first p lace rating. This is the second year tha t we have h eld this position a nd need less to say we are very proud of it.

A la rge dragon decora ted the stairway railing a nd greeted a ll who were brave enough THE ANC HOR

Our Dads turned out in fu ll force again for th is weekend . The bow ling tourna ment started the weekend ro lling, a n exciting game of cards seemed to sh uffile everyone up, and j ust as th ings were really going, it was time to eat a mo t wonderfu l din ner tha t was ski llfully prepared by the Taus. That night entertainment seemed to be the order of the even ing ; la ter on we bade our Dads goodnigh t and we drove to our M t. P leasant sisters' homes. After we were long asleep our D ads were reminiscing a bou t their escapades in the Tau house last year. Sunday morning we were greeted by a wonderfu l breakfast that our D ads h ad so expertl y prepared . All in a ll it was another tremendous D ad's D ay.

T he swim meet wasn't quite as great, bu t we did ma nage to get a third, a pie eating contest just wasn' t down our line, a nd the tricycle race placed us a third.

For Panhellenic Sing we sang a medley of western songs and wore cowboy costu mes.

We made short skirts and vests of light b lue denim trimmed in red fringe, topped with cowboy ha ts. T he a udience reception was great, but to our dismay we ran over 39 seconds a nd were disqua lified.

We' re very proud of all the honors won

by T a us this Spring. J ean Russel was chosen for Alpha Lambda Delta, a fres hma n women's honorary.

T he T a us really swung ou t when it came to C hip awards. Out of the four girls who received them, a ll were Betas . They were M arcia R osenberg, Ellie K azuk, M ary J o G ambing, M arty Pre ndergast.

Delta's Costume Parties ;t DELTA chapter opened the second semester with a round of rush parties. They were costume pa rties with a different th eme for every get-together. The Taus visited a pirate's den, took a trip around the world, held a Mard i Gras, and ha.d a ghoulish good time in a haunted house. Each pa rty carried out its theme with approp1;ate entertainment, refreshments, and favors. For example, Chinese tea and fortune cookies lent an oriental flavor to one party. T he costumes were gay and the painted fans made delightful favors.

Our formal rush party was held in the Sigma Phi Epsilon house thanks to the courtesy of the brothers. The theme was "Roses Become You" in a southern plantation setting.

We think our rush program was very successful because from it we won nine wonderful p ledges. They are Ei leen Blakely, Joyce Bronzet, Maureen Flagherty, Carol G lover, Dot Kondrick, Pauline Mecklem, M aria Provenzano, Kathy Sokel, and Dolly Stella.

Th e pledge class wa very proud to con tribute a n attractive green and gold, handhooked rug to the sorority room. They didn' t stop plying the needles there though . Each pledge m ade a decorative pillow on a sorority theme a nd presented it to her big sister at our "Big Little-Sister" party held just before initiation.

D elta is especially proud of sister Sylvia Kattouf former chapter president, who won

Zeta Presents Original Play ;t THE beginning of Second emester here a t Lock H aven found a ll the isters just bubbling over with ideas for our spring rush parties. After listening to all of the ideas, we finally voted on a Greek theme for our parties. We even had a "Greek tragedy," written by Dee Moore, which wa presented in two parts. The first act was presented at the econd party, and the second act was pre ented at the formal p arty. The decorations, devised by J ackie Borrosco, our wonderful decorating chairman, were done in accordance with the theme, and a ll sisters a nd rushees came dressed in togas. When the parties were over and the final bids were sent out, we T aus were elated to find out tha t we had six teen wonderful new pledges: Laraine Albrecht, Marty Becker, Bonnie Bitzer, Sue Fulmer, Gwen Gra nt, Pat H aug Ella Hudicka, Barb D . Johnson, Carol Moffat, J oy Teilson, Carol J ean Pau ling, K ay Sigmund, Lee Todd, Caro l U nderwood, Gail Williams, and Sue Zeigler.

Since we had o many pledges, they undertook as a project to clean up some furniture from the sorority rooms so tha t it could be sold to one of the fraternitie . The girl a lso did a wonderful job of cleaning up the sorority room.

For the fourth traight emester we Taus h ave gained the honor of havina the highest schola tic average of the three sororities on campu . We were informed by Miss Pontzer our D ean, th at our high average for the pa t seme ter was 2.76.

The annual Panhellenic Dance one of the biggest spring events here at L~ck Haven was held May 13, at the Elk's home. Pre~ ceding the dance, many of the Taus attend ed an outdoor barbecue at the home of sister Theresa Howberg.

Our Recognition Day Assembly recognized three Taus for outstand ing work in the past year. Those recognized were: Ruth Porter, who was recognized by the Association for Childhood Education as being the most outstanding student in the Elementary Education curriculum, Barb A. Johnson, who was recognized by Alpha Sigma Tau and Marty Willits, who was recognized by the Womens Athletic Association.

May a lso brought a time of sadness for us because we had to say farewell to eight sisters who received their dip lomas a t graduation ceremonies on May 28. Two of our sisters graduated with honors . They were: Ruth Porter, summa cum la ude and Barb Underwood, magna cum laude.

With the ending of the semester, the Taus had many happy memories to look back on .

We were sorry to lose our eight gradu ated sisters, but our sixteen new sisters will help to carry out the tradition of Alpha Sigma Tau h ere on our Lock Haven campus.KATHY O'RouRKE

Omicron's Greek Victory ;\; SECOND semester activities for Omicron Chapter began with the opening of formal rush season. The season opened with four rush parties, the last of which was a gala event. In the Little Theatre of Concord College, the traditional Greek party was made a tremendous success du e to the enthusiasm and work of all the Omicron girls. The rushees were entertained by our own goddesses who were dressed in togas, served by Greek Slaves, and presented with golden apples following the presentation of "The Legend of the Golden Apple" by goddess Sally McCrary. This party was a grand success, and as a result, Omicron pledged twelve girls. They were Patricia Shepherd, Sara Tindillia, Barbara Cobb, Patricia Baker, Nancy E llison, Martha Collier, Rosemary Dick, Carolyn Majors, Caro lyn Hughes, Mary Gregoraci, Carolyn Whithall, and Drema Kessinger. Also, during open rush, Beulah Asbury was pledged to Alpha Sigma Tau. Following p in pledging and initiation, the p ledges honored the actives with a party held in the Student Union . The entire proT HE ANCHOR

gram was centered around a western theme-with the entertainment and the menu corresponding to this theme.

On April 7, the Omicron girls, dressed in their loveliest even ing dresses, joined with their brothers of Kappa Sigma Kappa and many guests for an evening of dancing at the fabulou s Greenbrier Hotel at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Highlighting the dance, was the announcement of Nancy Bowman as K appa Sigma Kappa Sweetheart and Don Dunford as Alpha Sigma Tau Sweetheart. It was a lso announced that Carolyn Majors had been chosen Best Pledge for second semester.

May Day, on May 13, was another big event for Omicron. After singing songs with our brothers, the Kappa Sigs, we watched as three of our .girls danced around the M ay Pole. Connie Perry, J ean Wright, and Carolyn Pantili Wilson danced gracefully before the May Court in which Nancy Bowman was an attendant to the Queen.

The following day was the elate of the annual picnic with the Kappa Sigs. Both Alpha Taus and Kappa Sigs had a very enjoyable time.

At the Awards Day Assembly, several Alpha Taus were recognized. Seven girls were elected to Cardinal Key. They were Chris Knuth, Mary Ann Stover, Nelva Jones, Cathy Ramsey, Mary Lou Cox, Carolyn Pantili Wilson, and Linda Miller. The Omicron Scholarship Award was again awarded to Cathy Ramsey. Barbara Cobb was chosen to serve as varsity cheerleader for the following year of 1961 -62. Also, the Omicron girls were happy to receive the Women's Intramural Council Award for the most points in the various sports.

Bringing our wonderful a nd successful year to a close was our Senior Farewell Party held in the College Social Room. In a court room scene, each of the seniors was placed on trial and as their sentence, all of them were given a life-long term in an Alumnae Organization.- LINDA MILLER

At class elections, Barbara Dierker, Jeanne Trautwein and Sue Gerlt were elected as class officers with Jo Litto, Louie Meserve, Lucy Binder, and Carol Seib elected as class representatives to the Student Congress. Another sorority on Campus held "A Sweetheart Prom" on February 18 a nd Alpha's candidate, Darlys Moore, came in second.

On February 23, some seventeen Alphas sat in the auditorium of the colleo路e on pins and needles. The hour for the Ba ketball Queen Coronation had arrived. Our cand idate, Lucy Binder, had made the top five.

We nearly died as each maid was revealed and finally Lucy was announced a tying for first maid. We were so happy and proud of Lucy. Another honor for our President, Lucy Binder, was being considered for the recipient of the Finer Vloman of the Year Achievement Award given by a sorority on campus.

Many Alphas made different activities their projects for the term. Four Alphas, Jo Litto, Louise Meserve, Barb Dierker and Sue Gerlt studied in the Spanish Honors Class, the first of its kind on campus. On the Dean's list at mid-semester was Elizabeth Taylor. Shirley Hillebrand received experience while ably serving as lab assistant. Singing for Harris were Joyce Fuller, Darlys Moore, Louise Meserve and Sue Gerlt, as members of the Vocal Ensemble, the representative music group of Harris. Louise and Sue served as officers.

Working as a reporter for the school paper were Jo Litto and Lucy Binder while Joan K ehl helped to make our school more attractive, as a member of the Art Club.

The biggest event of the term was our bi-annu a l production called "Skit Nite." It required a great deal of effort and team work.

We had both under the guidance of Sharon Culli, head of the committee, and ow- sponsors. Darlys Moore did excellent publicity, Jo Litto a nd Pat Kline worked hard backstage, and Rose Vassallo, Jo Ebersoh l, and Beverly Cobion took care of the tickets and program , while Pat Gilcrease looked after the money.

The show took place April 7 at the O'Fallon High hool Auditorium. It consisted of

44

seven skits put on by varwus Greek letter organizations at school. The theme was "The World of Musical Comedy." We had for our judges Mr. Jim Butler, disc-jockey of a local radio station and two area teachers.

Prizes were given to the top three skits. It was a wonderful night.

Lovely green and gold print cotton material was picked for our new spring outfits.

Our first appearance in them was on Skit ite and we received many compliments. Our outfits are a matching overblouse and skirt.

With Skit Nite over, our attention turned to Inter-frat Sing. We decided to sing "To Our Fraternity" and " Me and My Shadow."

Margaret Kleinert served as our director. We practiced at school , on Sundays, and sometimes on week nights. It was held May 17 and Alpha gave a good performance.

A barbecue wa cheduled with Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity but it turned out to be a very wet day. Our spirits were not dampened however, so we ate indoors at the home of Lucy Binder, and didn't care what the weather outside.

On the 21 of May at a local re taurant, The Bevo Mill, we held a Parents' Banquet.

Many attended and enjoyed meeting the other parents. After a delicious dinner, we sang sorority songs.

Joyce Fuller, our candidate, served as a maid of the White Rose Prom, sponsored by our brother fraternity. Sally Harris, a cholar in her own right, wa again elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Sally ha been awarded a four-year scholarship to Missouri University to continue her education after graduation from Harri .

Margaret Kleinert served a a maid to the "Splash" given the Ia t day of finals, June 9.

We received an Open Bid, energetic Pat Shockley.

Summer is upon us and many of u will go to work, on vacation, or to summer chool.

But we ha.ll continue, no matter where we are, to work and represent Alpha in a mo t dignified way. This pa t erne ter ha truly been a erne ter of- the Pi' in action.SuzANNE GERLT

Rho's Round-Up ~ To

START things off, Rho an noun ced th eir Beau for the year-Billy J oe Taylor, Sigma Tau Gamma, who was president of SNEA, vice-president of Student Senate, and elected to Who's Who, Blue K ey, and president of Student Senate for the next year.

First semester rush party was an AST Round Up in gay, rollickina western style with hay bales, western sonis, a nd all the food we could eat ! As a. result, we pledaed four enthusiastic girls. "' The n ext big event was Homecomina and the AST tea. Alpha Taus from all ov~r the United States were there, and it was a rea l homecoming in every sense of the word.

Alpha. Taus were right in there when school elections rolled around, too. Sally Murray was elected secretary of the Sophomore Class, Peggy Holder was elected president of Sigma Tau Delta, a nd T eLoa H old er became the n ew president of Alpha Psi Omega and College Players. H er sister Sandra assisted her as vice-presid ent of Alpha Psi Om ega. Sandra was also assistant editor of the co llege yearbook, SAVAGE. Also on publications was Peggy Holder, editor of the SOUTHEASTERN, the school paper.

Harlene Phillips became the new historian of S EA, and J ane Galloway and Sally Murray were elected to the Student Senate.

Alpha Taus elected to Cardina l K ey were Peggy H older a nd Carolyn Amis who were a lso elected to Who's Who .

Before we knew it, it was time for second semester rus h, and plans were begun for a jumping Roaring 20's party to be held in a "speak-easy," naturally. Bright lights, dixieland music, a nd the Charleston complemented the party.

Th e following Sunday fourteen girls picked up green and gold co lors at bid house a nd proudly wore the AST colors.

Other Taus in the spotlight were J a ne Galloway, Sally Murray, Louise Rickets, and Donna Ellis who were chosen to be four of the "Ten Pretty Girls." Sandra Miller, a second semester p ledge, was elected Phi Sig Sweetheart, and Jane Galloway was elected H ellhound Queen. Carolyn Amis, our presi-

dent, represented Blue K ey as th eir "Favorite," a nd Sue Peberton was basketball Queen Attendant. Donna Ellis was a lso chosen Teke Pledge Sweetheart for first semester.

In the annu al Awards Assembly, Alpha T a us were honored again. TeLoa Holder was awarded the Dramatics Award, and Sue Dyson received the Outstanding Sophomore Award.

To end up a wonderful year, Rho had their Spring Formal. The setting was a garden scene with rock garden, flow er gardens, archway covered with flowers, and even a bridge over a small " brook," fashioned from a plastic pool! The center of attraction was a fountain actually spouting water. The music was wonderful, the decorations fabulous, so how could we keep from h aving a good time!

After a yea.r filled with activity, everyone was ready to relax for the summer so we could return n ext fall with even more enthusiasm.

Zeta Tau Has Highest Average t THE Zeta Tau Chapter a t Longwood Co ll ege had an active and prosperous year filled with wonderful m emories. One of the most exciting events of the year was the

election of new officers for the coming year.

Jo Savage was chosen by the student body as President of the Student Government Association, and Nancy Pretty was elected as President of the Young Women's Christian Association. Ellen Powell was elected as Senior R epresentative to Student Government, Elaine Lohr as Junior R epresentative, and Peggy Whittaker as Sophomore R epresentative.

We are very proud of the honors bestowed upon our sisters. Jo Savage was tapped into Alpha Kappa Gamma, an Honorary Leadership Fraternity. Elected to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges were Mary Rite Grayson, Ann Hardy, Chen·on K elly Dunman, Joyce Odom and Doris Tolley.

Then another honor occurred when A~T received the scholarship cup presented to the sorority on campus with the hirrhest academic average for the year.

To celebrate their initia tion, our eight new pledges, Carol Axelson, Barbara Fields, Mary Ann Lipford, Judy Melchor, Judy Partrea, Pat Pinkston, Betty J ean Russell, and Peggy Whittaker, took the actives on a trip to Ita ly. And what a trip! A Tau chef had prepared pizza for us while lovely Italian ladies presented a skit. Everyone had a wonderful time. To add to a happy ending the pledges presented us with a lovely lace tablecloth.

A tea was held in honor of Miss Virginia Bedford who retired as Zeta Tau's sponsor after 30 years of faithful and untiring service.

It is through her guidance that we have grown into a strong and successfu l sorority.

For the perfect end of a perfect year, many of our girls went to Virginia Beach for a weekend in June. We rented a cottage for a weekend of fun , sun, and, of course, sand.

However, June 11 did not end the activities of the Zeta Taus. ext year the sororities at Longwood will begin a new system of rush . Rush and initiation of new pledges will begin early in the spring rather than in April as has been the custom. So, the summ er will be filled with planning for rush parties. The A~T's are active a ll year round and love it. We feel there is something special abo ut our sisterhood- a clo eness that

The formal pin pledging was held on March 14 in the Student Union.

Alpha Sigma Tau spon ored the first ongfest held in connection with Greek Week.

Lucille Strickland of A~T was Mistress of Ceremon ies. The five participating organizations enjoyed working together on this program.

On March 5 the Alpha Sig gave a parents' tea in the lounge of SLC's newest girls' dormitory. The fathers enjoyed it, and we intend to have a parents' tea an nu a lly instead of a mother-daughter tea .

Phi' annual Spring Formal Dance was held on April 7 in the Student Union. The theme was "Blues in the ight," and the members and pledges worked diligent ly on the decorations which turned the Student Union into a p erfect setting for such a da nce. The pledges provided an excellent entertainment program which added great ly to the atmosphere.

The first of two cu lture programs given this semester was a presentation of the philosophy of the ancients. In the second program several girls gave their own philosophy of .life, and one girl presented the results of a survey of different philosophies of students on the campus. This program encouraged each of us to think about our own philosophy.

Many m embers of Phi Chapter were honored this semester for scholastic achievements.

Twenty-four were listed on the Dean's List for having an average of "B" or better. Two of these girls, Glancie Palmer and Iris Marie Brann, made straight "A" averages.

Chi Gains Twenty-Two ;\:. THE ANNUAL blizzard provided the backdrop for Chi's February Sweetheart D a nce.

The girls refused to let the snow spoil things for them, so everyone wore boots a nd kneesocks, and carried their dancing shoes. The da nce was held in the gymnasium, in a setting of hearts and notes, which carried out the theme "Sweetheart Serenade." The Club Royal Band provided the music, a nd everyone agreed that the evening was well worth the effort involved.

Later in F ebruary, we held our annual Greek rush party. Ivy, grapes, columns, and Greek costumes provided the atmosphere. A table full of A::ST insignia and jewelry provided some idea of sorority life. Assorted crackers, cheese dips, etc ., and "wine," provided refreshment. Fifty freshmen attended the party. We gained twenty-two pledges, who have a lready contributed a great dea l in spirit a nd enthusiasm, as well as hard work.

In April, we had a joint program m eeting with the alumnae. The girls had each written a short philosophy of life. These philosophies were then compiled into one philosophy, which we think represents the average sorority girl's beliefs. This philosophy was read by D eloris Day, one of the Program Chairmen. Then the lights were turned out,

47

while Deloris, using a candle, read "Hold High the Torch." We repeated the Creed.

It was very impressive, especially since our a lumnae sisters were with us.

During April, Chi g irls were responsible for the Cancer Fund drive among the tudent body.

In May, we initiated our pledges. The following week we held our annual spring banquet at the War Memorial Building. Before the banquet, we insta lled officers for the new year. J an ie Renn will serve a president. We were served a delicious turkey dinner. Afterwards, we had presentation of gifts and awards, followed by the cand le-light ervice.

Many Chi girls have received honors this spring. We had another queen: Judy Szymia lis was elected Queen Shepherd and was crowned at the Queen's Ball. Other Alpha on the Queen's cou rt were Carrollyn Orndorff, Libby Davis, and Janet Gassaway.

Roberta Renn and Marie H endricks were initiated into Kappa Delta Pi. Sandra Osbourn served as marshal at graduation. Dorothy Mason was Outstanding Senior in Elementa ry Edu ca tion.

Mary Charles Adams received the Outstanding Senior award from the sorority.

We ended the year with a picnic in our honor, given by Sigma Sigma Sigma.BuNNY HYLTON

Psi Has the Honors ;\;. HELLO to all of our sisters out there ! The Psi Chapter girls found many surprises in store for them during the second semester this year. Things got off to a really exciting start when campaigns and elections for major offices got under way early in February. Psi came out with Carole Knight as the new President of M adison's Honor Council. Although this should have ended the quick pace which campaigning had et, we soon found ourselves in the midst of minor office elections, and several of our girls were elected to these positions by the student body.

From elections we went on to the fun of spring rush, and on M arch 11, we welcomed three n ew A~Tors: Marth J ea n Hardin, Beth Quatse, and Joyce Bu ell. These girls be-

Early in April ~everal of us took off for a weekend away from the campu at College Camp. It was mighty cold out there this year, but we had a wonderful time in spite of the colds we came back with.

"Who's Who Among Student in American niversities a nd Colleges" included two of our Senior sisters, Alma Brown and Tink Phillipe. Alma was a lso chosen to be an outtanding Senior. Carole Knight represented our chapter as an outstanding Junior, and E vie J enkin and ancy Acken were chosen as outstanding Sophomores.

Before we realized it, May Day and all of its festivities were just around the corner. Y..' e had known who was to be the Queen as well as who was in the Court as the annual tapping assembly had been held some time before, but we were still surpri ed by the number of Pi girls: beautiful Susan Moyar was the 1961 M ay Day Queen路 among the princesses were Margaret Hart, Brenda Pipicilli, and Mae Frame ; among the May Day attendant were Ginny Wagner, Carol Brockway, and Ann Coiner. One of our girls Bonnie Oyler, had even been in charae of the entire May Day proaram.

Even after our Founder's Day supper on May 15, and even after exams and bo-raduaâ&#x20AC;˘ tlon were all over, the Psi A::STors were to be surprised again, for Miss Evie Jenkins had been given a scholarship to represent Madison at the University of Madrid in Spain as a foreign exchange student. We were all quite thrilled about this especially wonderfu I thing. Indeed, Tink represented Madison in France just two years ago.

Many of us will be back in September to begin a new school year which we hope we can make as fulfilling a nd as exciting as this one has been. With a new rush quota of 55 instead of 50, we will certainly be looking forward to our Fall rushees with our usual Carnival theme.

Psi would like to wish each of the other chapters of Alpha Sigma Tau a wonderful year filled with the things that make our Sisterhood so worthwhile. - BoNNIE OYLER

Alpha Alpha's Traditional Maypole ;t WE started off the second part of the

Ruth Anne Moody has been chosen as the R ecrea tion Committee Chairman for the Ball State Student Center Governing Board. This board guides the activities sponsored by the Student Center.

As school ended we were a ll to return again in the F a ll not for schoo l particu larly but to see the suite which is to be painted during the summer. It is to be in shades of yellow to blend with our other furni shings.

We are also excited over the idea of getting a telephone installed in the suite. All of the sorority suites are having phones installed and we a ll agree that this will be a welcome add ition. We are looking forward to a profitable and happy year for Alpha Sigma Tau at Ball State.- R uTH ANN MoooY

Alpha Eta Sponsors Amo Te ;\:. THE first week of the new semester found us working on the Amo Te which is a semi-forma l, girl-bid dance that we sponsor a nnu a lly. This yea r we chose a theme of "H eather a nd Hearts" which was enjoyed by a ll those who attended.

Upon the comp letion of this function we immed iate ly began the spring rushing events.

On F ebru ary 20 we had a formal tea. The follow ing week we entertained the ru hees at an informa l party with a n "Around the World" theme. Each of the actives came dressed in the costume of a foreign land. As favors for this event, we gave globe-shaped pincushions. Our final rushing party was a dessert. Bids came out on March l-t, and

51

we were very pleased to rece1ve eight new pledges.

Spring rushing was followed by the participation of six of our sisters in the school's yearly Song Fest. The sextet sang a very lovely arrangement of "September Song."

Soon after spring vacation, the p ledges gave the actives a party. The party had a "hobo" theme, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by both the actives and the pledges.

Our next major event was the Spring Formal which was held at the Embers R estaurant in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. A steak dinner a nd an evening of da ncing made up the program for the evening.

We celebrated our Founder's Day with a dessert and a program of readings and group smgmg.

The school's traditional Campus Day included the crowning of the Queen and her Court. We were very proud to have Linda White and Jann Smith, two of our sisters, on the Court.

Sorority week-end was held at Crystal L ake in May and although the weather was not completely cooperative, we had a pleasa nt time relaxing and having fun together just before final exams began .

One of our last events was a Senior Breakfast. At this time we honored our two senior girls, Judy Wed ler a nd Rosalie Karukas. We will miss them, for it has been a pleasure having them as sisters.

Our final activity of the year was a picnic at Crystal Lake which our patronesses sponsored. The program for this event included food, talk and more food and talk.

Alpha Theta's Scholarship !. ALPHA THETA's dinner-dance at the close of the semester afforded the members the opportunity to reflect on the fun and activities of the past semester.

We opened the Spring semester with our scholarship fund-raising event. Two hundred and four dollars was awarded to the winner at a basketball game near the end of February for tuition.

Rush season was upon us then. All three teas were well attended. Especially enjoyable was the second tea where we roa ted hot dogs and marshmallows in the fireplace. Our rush was very successful resulting in eleven pledges.

Our girls carried the name of Alpha Sigma Tau well in campus contests. Mary Sajan was a member of the queen's court in Tau Kappa Epsilon's Miss "Keep Detroit Beautiful" contest. Gloria Novak, listed in Who' Who in American Colleges, was one of the finalists for pring Carnival Queen.

Early in May members and pledges participated in U of D's annual Spring Carnival.

In accordance with the Disneyland theme, our booth depicted Alice in Wonderland at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

During the last week of pledging the girl were recognized on campus by their large straw hats with green streamers and gold A~T letters. During the night the pledge entertained the member with storie of their live , songs races, and a skit which excellently portrayed each of the member . The climax of the night was a midnight earch for eleven buttons hidden in the yard.

Then followed initiation bringing our membership up to twenty-SL"<. Pat Matusko was honored as the "Best Pledge" and her name was inscribed on the pledge paddle. Election and installation of officers completed the year's busine s. In the U of D Panhellenic Council election, Yvonne Sajan wa cho en to be secretary.

Alpha Omega First at the Fair ;\; THE END of the '61 Spring semester at Brooklyn College found the Alph a Om eg~s basking in the glory of all they had clone m THE ANCHOR

the short space of six months. The most outstanding accomp lishment is the winning of first place in the annual Country Fair which , each year, commemorates the school's birthday. This year's overall Fair theme was Americana, and the Alph a Omegas, in conjunction with their brother fraternit y, Pi L ambda Phi, according ly constructed a very realistic ferris wheel, carouse l, boardwa lk and miniature pool to ce lebra te the memory of Coney I land during the fast a nd furiou s "Twenties. " Our booth was one of the mo t talked-about at the Fair and so it was indeed no surprise when we were awarded fir t place. We sold bamboo canes, sailor hats, fli-backs, pails and shove l , parapherna lia all to be foun d at the real Coney Island.

Alpha Omega, under the ab le leadership of Ruthie Olin and Bonnie NewmaJ路k a! o participated in the Annua l Panhellenic Sing.

Thi year, our theme was " SpecTOCKular ' centra lizing on how clocks rule our everyday lives as well as the part time has played in

the history of man. Our costumes consisted of black leotards on top of which we wore black oaktag clocks, faces painted in luminescent paint. The total picture was quite good, and in the dark, our costumes very effectively carried out our theme.

Alf the Alpha Omegas join me in wishing Helen Greenberg, ex dean, all the luck in the world at McGill University, where she will be taking graduate work in psychology next year. Helen was th e recipient of the InterPrima Soror award, given by the Panhellenic Association of our school for specia l service, an All-College Si lver Key, and was the first Top Tau from the Alpha Omega chapter.

Besides having an award-winning dean, the chapter didn' t do too badly in its own right, taking first p lace in intramurals, and second in scholarship. Ruth O lin, vice president, was elected treas urer of Panhellenic, with Ellie Cohen, an active soror, taking care of publications and publicity for that organization. J oann Greenlinger is the new managing editor of the Olympian, our sororityfraternity newspa per, and Sheila Hoffman got a ophomore of the Year award for outsta nding service to the school.

On the social side, the Alpha Omegas haven' t been sitting sti ll either. This semester was spiked with activiti , planned extraordinarily well by Nancy Rosanblatt, so-

56

cia! chairman. In May, the chapter sponsored a mother-daughter luncheon at the magnificent Plaza hotel in upper New York.

Feeling quite luxurious, the mothers and daughters dined in style as they talked pleasantly. Later on, the mothers were entertained with our Sing. Each lady had an orchid, and had an opportunity to see what sorority life is like. During Easter, the Alpha Omegas went to the theatre to see "Fiorello," the story of the ex-mayor of New York City, Fiorello La Guardia. This excursion to the wilds of Broadway was both broadening and enjoyable. June 18, in honor of Father's Day, we held a father-daughter brunch at Senior's restaurant in Brooklyn, while on the 17th, sorority sponsored a Boat Ride up the Hudson River to Bear Mountain. Under the leadership of hard-working Barbara Stern Alpha Omega held a "Birdland Plays Dogpa tch" dance with Phi L ambda Delta fraternity. We had a jazz quartet as well as a Daisy Mae-Li'l Abner Contest. This term we also participated in the Interfraternity Councii-Pa nhellenic Association Fashion Show which was one of the highlights of the semester. Eve F e! en thai and Judy Flexer made very cute models at the how, repre enting our group.

Alpha Zeta's Dinner Dance Congratulations are in order for many Alpha Zetas this semester. Congrats first to our three newest sisters, Dolores Casal, Ingrid Nowatius, and Emlyn Alison. The three are still haunted by talent scouts for their wonderful portrayals of Alice Tweedle-dee, a nd Tweedle-dum on Greek Letter Day. Long Island's lovely Shell House was the scene of our very successful dinner-dance in their honor.

Our best wishes were extended to th e three girls at an engagement shower a t T erri Scottis' house. As the three requested that the gifts be practical, each was presented with a laundry basket fill ed with small household items and an ironing board. We are sure that they will think of us often, at least whenever they wash or iron.

Finally bitter-sweet congratula tions to a ll

our sisters who were graduated this June.

We are happy for, and proud of them, and we know that we will see them often at sorority functions. But at the sam e time we will miss their familiar faces on campus each day.-Jane M eltz

In February, Henrietta Hami lton was our hostess entertaining us with our Valentine party and bridge party. Despite the sudden snow storm we had a nice crowd, wonderful party spirit, plenty of food , and prizes.

Snow seems to be a steady diet with us in the winter months.

Our March meeting was one of the most informative meetings we have ever had .

J oyce Buchanan showed slides and narrated Christian Symbols. Henrietta Hamilton gave a description of Chrismons used on the Christmas tree in the Lutheran Church. I am truly sorry this was not given for the public.

In April, we me t with Betty Spangler and had a general business session followed by elaborate plans for next fal l. Betty has such a love ly p lace for a meeting that she in vited us back for our May carry-in dinner.

N ever ha ve I seen so much food and such a variety. We had severa l visitors too. Along with a ll the good food and fellowship we had our fa vorite " Lady," :rvfrs. C . W. Jackon, who gave a most delightful book review.

New Orleans Works on Expansion ;t, IN SEPTEMBER of 1960 Miss JoAnn Braun-

er was elected President of the New Orleans Alumnae Chapter of the sorority. With a small group of dedicated members she has been working hard at making the chapter grow and prosper.

Her first big task was to keep the chapter alive. For the most part this was accom61

plished before her term of office officially began. She spent many long hours, weeks and months contacting people who would be willing and able to work with her. Guided by her leadership the small group began to grow into an active chapter.

To help establish con tact between the a lumnae chapter and its collegiate isters at H ammond, Louisiana, a committee headed

by Rose Ann Caron and Bobbie Freitag was organized to work on the proj ect of creating a Congeniality Award to be pre ented to a member of the Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana College who was mo t effectively h elping her chapter and her sorority. Work is still und erway on this project a nd the committee is now endeavoring to put the final plans in to action.

In order to grow locally it was necessary to becom e affi liated with the Iew Orleans Panhellenic Council. Miss Elaine Miller was elected by the members to represent Alpha Sigma Tau at the Panhellenic Council. This fall Alpha Sigma Tau wi ll be personally represented at the Rush Tea given by the ew Orleans Panhellenic for the benefit of high school seniors in the ew Orleans area who are interest in college. We are looking forward to this opportunity of " being on the scene" for the first time.

Miss Brauner was also elected to be the local representative for the orority in this area. She takes over this n ew post from Mrs. Marilyn C. Ligon who was the previous representative for Louisiana. H er new job will enab le her to keep in closer contact with the Phi Chapter at S.L.C. and a! o keep in touch with the widely scattered alumnae throughout the state.

A local sorority on the Loyola U niversity campus in ew Orleans invited Miss Brauner to visit their group to enlighten them with information about national sororities. Miss Brauner formed a committee composed of Beryl Trenchard, Dianne W. H owell and Elaine Miller to present a program for the group that would be both interesting and informative. The program that Miss Brauner and her comm ittee pre ented was beneficial to the loca l sorority a nd was felt to be a success[ ul attempt to promote expansion in the Louisiana area.

New Orleans Alumnae have membership-drive dinner at Moisan! Airport International Room.

Mrs. Kay Cougil l of Alpha Alpha Chapter was introduced to the alumnae chapter in New Orlean by Miss Bobbie Freitag, both of whom are teachers in the Metairie area of cw Orleans.

In Apri l the group met at the Roosevelt Hotel and a party decorating demonstration was presented by Mr . J. B. Woest, our guest speaker for the evening. The member were shown how to make centerpiece for practically any occasion from baby shower to bridal shower. Other cultural programs that are not quite off the drawing board yet include a book review, a demon tration of a formal Japane e Tea Service to be pre ented by a Japanese woman trained for performing such a service, and p erhaps a le son in u ing mosaic tiles.

Our hat go off to Miss Jo Ann Brauner, who e untiring efforts have made the alumnae chapter what it is today, and in her capacity as president of the ew Orlean Chapter and local repre entative of Alpha Sigma Tau he will have many more opportun ities to help her orm路it grow and expand on a local and national level.- DIA E V路l .

In March everyone put on her best bib and tucker and set out for Rosemary Goad's new home. That was the night the various committees were to get their pictures taken for a half page spread in the Wichita Sunday paper. We all wondered what the white sheets on Rosemary's picture windows would look like as that is all she promised to have up by then- but she managed to dig 0ut her sewing machine and had beautiful drapes up for the occasion. It took all evening to arrange twenty-four women in attractive poses for the pictures, but it was worth it when we saw the results in the paper.

State Day was held at the Student Union on the campus of Wichita University, April 22. Seventy Alpha Taus were there from all over the state including a large delegation from the collegiate chapter of Emporia and their house mother. We had a nice time acting as hostesses and hoped they en joyed themselves too.

Our April meeting was held at Dot Schul's home and the following officers for 1961-1962 were installed : president, M artha Horne; vice president, Shirley Gore; recording secretary, Marlene Sykes ; corresponding secretary, Mary LeRoux; treasurer, Nancy Markham ; chaplain, Marge Stine ; historian, Shirley Richards; Panhellenic representative, THE ANCHOR

Pat Levi. standing left. is Wichita alumnae president and official chairman for State Day; Caroline Dawson. standing right. vice-president; Rosemary Coad, sealed left. mistress of ceremonies; and Madolyn Noller, program chairman.

Rosemary Goad ; editor, Caroline Dawson.

We set some kind of a record as all the officers were there that evening and were installed.

Our final meeting for the year was a salad supper held at Mary LeRoux's with Martha Horne and Marilyn Bretches as co-hostesses.

An enjoyable evening was spent playing bingo and games. The sorority adjourned for the summer to meet again next fa ll. We are losing two loyal members, Sally Smith goes to California, and Dot Schul is moving to St. Louis, just in time to help with the national convention. Good luck, girls, and we'll miss you.- CAROLINE DAwsoN

Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor Entertains Infirmary <\:. THE MONTH of March found the Ypsi-

Ann Arbor Alums entering one of the busiest springs they'd ever had. It all began

65

with the election of Mrs. James Stevens as president at the home of Mrs. George Mitchell and was culminated by a pot-luck picnic at Donna's cottage in June.

On the 16th of M a rch the group gave the residence of the Washtenaw County Infirmary a party honoring those whose birthdays were in M a rch . Mrs. W . J. M axey, aided by the Infirmary Auxilia ry, made the arrangem ents . The group furnished cake a nd ice cream, gifts and favors .

April 5 we celebrated our founding with a pot-lu ck dinner at the home of Mrs. J. B. Carpenter. We were delighted to welcome a new member to our grou p tha t evening, Mrs. Lois Sekete of the Beta C ha pte r. It's interesting to note that Lois contacted us through a m eeting announcement in the newspaper.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!!!!

The Y.M .-Y.W.C .A. in Ann Arbor on April 15 was overrun by A:STs, both collegiate and alumnae, from Michigan, India na a nd Illinois. Mrs. Robert Court's expert organization of the many trying details mvolved certain ly deserves the thanks a nd appreciation of a ll who a ttended.

Mrs. Wi lma Court has been one of th e guid ing members of the group since it was activa ted about ten years ago. In addition to caring for her home, three lovely chi ldren . a nd working with m a ny other groups a nd organizations she now serves as the Alpha Alumnae R epresenta tive a nd on the Advisory Board. She still found time to open her home to the collegiates last winter for their informal rush party a nd senior in itiation on May 3.

Our annual Mother's Luncheon was held in Plymouth, M ichigan, on M ay 20. Sa lly Pearson and Donna Stevens m ade the a rrangements. Mrs. R . G. Pa rker, outgoing president, presided over the prog ram.

Board meetings, which a re usua lly pretty dull affairs in most groups, a re a nxiously anticipa ted by our a lums. On June 7 th e mem bers, books in one hand a nd casserole a nd bathing suit in the other, trave led to D onna Stevens cottage for a most enjoyable even ing.

As you can see, there's never a dull moment when you're an A:ST.- J. CARPENTER

Washington In Panhellenic ;\. WASHINGTON, D . C . Alums held their F ebruary meeting at the home of Betty Chew. For our social service project it was decided to send a gift of money to Pine Bluff.

We also received a letter of thanks from the multiple sclerosis family to whom we sent food and gifts last Christmas.

A brunch was given in honor of Meda Rae Sewell as outgoing president of Washington Panhellenic. Our H ellenic activities included a luncheon a nd fashion show a t the Washington Gulf and Country Club, a nd a second luncheon a t the home of M ary Louise Doyle in honor of the new panhellenic president.

All delegates and a lternates a ttended.

A high spot of our April meeting was our White Elepha nt sale under the capable handling of M argaret Bowers. It was quite a success. In May we installed officers for the com ing year. -j EAN SELENO

spersed among these form al studies are severa l cha llenging jobs involving contact with all sorts of people. Versatility seems to be h er middle nam e, for during the war Mrs. Brooks was a civil service worker in the Psychological Services of the Army Convalescent Hospital· later, while Dr. Brooks was head coun elor at William and Mary, Colonial Williamsburg Inc. utilized Rose Brook's wealth of tact and patience in the role of supervisor of the Courthouse Museum.

For the past three years, with son Carter and his famil y in far-away Berlin and daughter Kim busy a t the U niversity of Connecticu t, Mrs. Brooks has paused to pur ue orne of the hobbies she enjoy most: education, art, reading, golf, swimimng and cooking.

And in working in art or in playing a round of golf, just who is Mrs . Brook likely to ee every time? Miss Virainia Bedford, of cour e ! And one likely topic of conver ation will certainly be Alpha igma T au ... and what could be more plea ant than that?

Message to Fraternity Members Communism is today a serious danger to our America n way of life. The commu nists desire to destroy our form of government and establish an a theistic dicta torship . They would abrogate our cherished liberties and make this nation part of a com munist world empire.

Most important in communist eyes is an attack against our young peop le. Ever sin ce th e days of Lenin, the communists have been interested in capturing the minds of young men and women. The communists know that gaining ad herence of yo ung men will insure th eir supremacy in the clays to come. For that reason they work diligently, in every possible devious way, to subvert the thinking of America n you th .

College fraternities can do much to defeat this commu nist conspiracy. Their members should know more about the machinations of communism ; what comm uni sm is, how it operates, what are its aims. They should take the time to tucly com munism carefull y and understa nd its nefarious ingredients. They shou ld acq uaint themselves with the tactics of this interna tion a l conspiracy, both as it operates here in our co untry a nd a broad.

The fratern ity member must be ready to make known his opposition to commu nism . In this way he can becom e an example to others on the college cam pu s. A fraternity man, conversa nt with the' evils of communism, can do much to defeat this enemy. His opposition must be based on facts. \1\Titch hunts, the use of innu endo a nd m isinformation are not m the America n tradition . Communism can be defeated by the truth- the truth wh ich i embodied in our heritage of freedom.
