;OCIAL SERVICE AWARD

ANCHOR

What is the tie which joins together a Greek sorority and a little Sioux Indian Boy? It all began with the long-standing interest of Mrs. Earl F. Peterson, known to many of us as Mary Alice, in the welfare of the American Indian.

Let me tell you the story as you lay aside your cares and responsibilities of the moment, drop down in your favorite chair, and join me in a make-believe journey. The time is autumn 1973 and we have just arrived via our magic carpet on our make-believe journey at a school conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the Pine Ridge Reservation near Rapid City, South Dakota. Stopping at the school office for information, we are told that this school, composed of three separate buildings, provides instruction for about 1400 students from kindergarten through high school. There is also an extension of the high school, and college classes are sponsored by the University of Colorado with the courses designed to further the education of the reservation Indian who can not go to college.

We ask for directions to the eighth grade room in the school and here we are immediately jolted out of our makebelieve and find reality. The room is filled mostly with Indian boys and girls although there are a few other children, who are the sons or daughters of teachers in the school or of government employees.

In charge of the room is a regular degreetrained teacher plus a Dakota-speaking person who assists with the language problems of the children.

We explain that we are looking for the protege of Mrs. Earl F. Peterson, a young Sioux boy by the name of Ronnie Morrison. It is almost time for school to be dismissed for the day, and the teachers ask Ronnie to stay to talk with us. He is very shy, but with help from his friendly teachers, he pulls out of his pocket his last letter from Mrs. Peterson and tells us that "she sends me presents on my birthday and at Christmas and lots of times."

T he teachers explain that as his sponsor Mrs. Peterson also sends money each month for his support and extra money periodically for school clothes.

3

As Ronnie, prompted by his teachers, tells us about his school work, we learn that he likes math, reading, art, and science and that he balances his studies by being on the track team. He writes to Mrs. Peterson sometimes and in one letter he said: "I'd like to come to live with you but my mom won't let me." We are sure that Mary Alice would think his "mom" is right on that score!

The teachers explain that in the summertime Ronnie lives with his parents and brothers and sisters on the reservation and participates in the activities of the life there. His parents are very poor; his father earns only a little money as there are few opportunities for work.

What is the background leading up to Alpha Sigma Tau's tie with Ronnie Morrison? If we could go backward in time on our magic carpet to the home of Mary Alice Peterson at Ash Acres, near Crawfordsville, Indiana, and join a National Council meeting in progress there during her Alpha Sigma Tau's presidency, we would find the beginning of our story. As national president of Alpha Sigma Tau from 1955 to 1964, Mary Alice emphasized the goal of enlarged social service contributions- both monetary and in selfless service, individually at the local chapter level, and collectively as a sorority at the national level. During this period, Alpha Sigma Tau gave a scholarship for an American Indian college student - a young man needing assistance to complete his senior year in college. During the following four years the sorority helped two Indian girls, one in Arizona, one at Southeastern State College, Durant, Oklahoma. Mary Alice's compassion and interest in the welfare of the American Indian have continued through the years as evidenced by her contributions to missions, schools, and other organizations that are dedicated to assisting Indian youth or to the improvement of living conditions on the reservations.

Her most recent involvement which led her to Ronnie is best told in the following excerpts from a letter written by her from her present lovely home set in scenic Cherokee Village, Arkansas: "A few years ago I received an appeal from an organization new to me, World 4

Changers, and was greatly impressed by the dedication and sincerity of the founder and those working with him.

World Changers was founded in 1960 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by W. T. Jeffers, an ordained minister, a former all-conference football quarterback and college professor of music and religion, who now serves as the organization's first president. It is a non-sectarian, international, taxexempt agency, funded only through charitable contributions. World Changers receives no federal assistance. Since 1960 nearly five million dollars has been distributed to 25,000 needy and neglected children in 21 countries and among American Indian youngsters. Current American Indian projects are being conducted in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Michigan. Child care assistance is provided through a sponsorship program.

"The name World Changers expresses a philosophy which develops a positive, confident mental outlook on the future .

This in turn, encourages accomplishment in scholastic and competitive endeavors in young people. The world the organization is trying to change or help are young minds which are still fertile, relatively unbiased, and objective. This is where all positive progress will come in the betterment of people-related problems. There are many problems that enter into education of Indian children. Because of poverty and many other frustrations the drop-out rate is tremendous.

"I am hoping to attend my Ronnie's graduation from grade school next year and see his school and perhaps meet his family. Also I am hoping that he will have the desire and ability to go to high school and also to college. I may be here to see him graduate from high schoool, but his college graduation is far in the future .

"I appreciate the award that Alpha Sigma Tau has set up in my name and hope it may be used for Ronnie's further education. Being a "World Changer" is a wonderful, satisfying experience, one which I recommend to each of you!"

Since Mary Alice's retirement as national president of Alpha Sigma Tau, there has continued to be discussion at Council meetings concerning an approANCHOR

priate social service project to be carried on in her name, which would in some measure express the appreciation of the sorority for her capable, dedicated, and tireless leadership during her presidency, as well as recognizing her continued interest, compassion, and empathy in helping others. At the Council meeting at Virginia Beach in 1972, the initial steps were taken to establish the Mary Alice Peterson Social Service Award. Because of her long-standing and continued devotion to the improvement of opportunities for the American Indian, it was felt that the award should be some phase of

assistance in the education of Indian youth. At the Council meeting in Detroit in the summer of 1973, an annual contribution of $150 was approved, to be used to augment Mary Alice's sponsorship of Ronnie Morrison. In this way Alpha Sigma Tau becomes a "World Changer" in helping Ronnie to reach his maximum potentiality so that he in turn might become a "World Changer" in helping other Indian youth.

The MARY ALICE PETERSON SOCIAL SERVICE AWARD thus becomes the tie joining a Greek sorority and a little Sioux Indian boy.

Ruth Billings

ALPHA XI SALUTES v\Jl[gg

CRuth

cg[QQ[~tgs!

The advisor of the Alpha Xi Chapter at Mansfield State College, Miss Ruth Billings has been our chapter advisor since it's birth on May 5, 1965 when she and twenty-one girls were initiated.

As a tribute to her eleven years of devoted service, Mrs. Jeanette Rose and

Sally DeSimoni Rottman, class of '68, arranged a Banquet in her honor. It was held on May 5, 1973 at the Holiday Inn at P ainted Post, N.Y. Miss Billings was asked to speak on the spot at the occasion. The girls wanted to know what she had learned as an advisor. Ruth Billings responded that one should never underestimate the power of women when they want something. She learned that Tau 's always meet their deadlines and that money must grow on trees if Tau treasurers are handling it.

She believes "oceans of tears" on every occasion are therapeutic. Ruth decided her greatest reward has been being advisor when her girls received the National Scholarship and several Panhellenic Scholarship Cups, one of which was permanent because Alpha Xi had received the Panhellenic cup for three successive semesters.

Miss Billings will continue to teach history at Mansfield State.

All of Alpha Xi Salutes Ruth Billings for pioneering the organization of AST. Words cannot describe all she has done for us so we add a less than adequate, " Thank-you so very much Miss Billings!"

NEW SCHOLARSHIP AWARD CHAIRMAN Beverly Sharon Johnson , Alpha Lambda Chapter

Cheri Johnson, Alpha Lambda 1969, is the newly appointed National Scholarship Awards Chairwoman replacing Mrs. Robert Gallant.

Cheri received her B.S. degree from Radford College with a major in history and psychology and received her M.A. in student personnel administration in higher education from Syracuse University.

She is currently employed as the assistant dean of residential life at Rider College where she is in charge or sororities. The "area coordinator" of sororities is a new system which replaces housemothers- sisters are completely responsible for the operation of their house.

Cheri also acts as the Panhellenic Adviser and the summer-fre hman orientation advisor.

A CHOR

AN AST ALUMNA IS AN NPC ALUMNA

v\Aally ~ouise COoyQe. It is definitely not uncommon for a member of a national sorority to graduate and then find herself in residence in an area where her sorority does not have either an alumnae chapter or a club.

Needless to say, such a situation comes as a great disappointment after having been impressed during college years with the desirability and responsibility of joining an alumnae group after leaving school.

In fact, the "life-time" aspect of membership in a national sorority is one of the big pluses stressed as an advantage in joining a national instead of a local!

However, in the absence of an alumnae chapter, there is a redeeming possibility which many alumnae seem to be overlooking- namely, the opportunity of belonging to a National Panhellenic Conference City Panhellenic. An alumna of Alpha Sigma Tau, in good standing, is also an alumna of NPC and thereby eligible to join a City Panhellenic. There are several hundred such groups scattered about the country and abroad.

A City Panhellenic tends to be a unifying force between the various sororities' alumnae chapters. Years ago, these groups used to be mainly social - and some still are. But the vast majority have expanded their goals to include things like (1) keeping the fraternity women ANCHOR

aware of current trends in the Greek world; (2) the making of concerted and specific efforts to promote the fraternity system; and (3) improving the Panhellenic image in the community through participation in community services and contributing to the education of the populace regarding the true value and workings of sororities.

The majority of the City Panhellenics, especially those in large cities, are organized in the manner of the National Panhellenic Conference with the alumnae chapter of each NPC Sorority represented on its council by one delegate and one alternate and each sorority having one vote. But because every NPC sorority does not have an alumnae chapter in the area of every City Panhellenic, an NPC alumna is eligible to join on an individual basis. Furthermore, she may represent her sorority.

By joining a City Panhellenic as an individual when one cannot associate herself with an alumnae chapter of her sorority for one reason or another, or because no alumnae chapter exists in the area, the City Panhellenic offers opportunities equal to those offered by one's own alumnae chapters. And aside from the meaningful social contacts one has the opportunity to participate in the CP activities, working with women who have common interests and purposes. City Panhellenics are often able to work with collegians at nearby colleges and universities. Many provide timely programs of interest in all phases of community or national life as well as cultural programs to meet all tastes. Projects which are too big for any one sorority alumnae group are made possible through City Panhellenic groups because of the combined efforts of its membership -the physical potential of the combined efforts.

Our first party went well with our traditional Taus' Sweet Shop theme. This was preceded by prerush dinners and parties that were one of our biggest assets in helping to bring us eleven new Taus. They are: Nancy Friske, Cathy Haack, Leslie Held, Lori Ireland, Sally Knight, Ann Luyckx, Paula Pardo, Kathy Parolini, Gerri Reddington, Debbie Wallace and

Barb Wotila.

We're sorry to say goodbye to some fantastic seniors. Our Top Tau, Andrea Devine, is on her way to France to work as a graduate assistant, and wedding bells will be ringing this summer for our sister Beckie Allman.

Our big social event took place in April when we held our formal spring dinner dance. Great weather, a good band, and some fantastic dates helped to make it a very memorable evening. We chose for our AST sweetheart a longtime friend and brother of the Theta Chi fraternity, Steve Gray.

Spring brought the annual Greek Week to the CMU campus. This week of Greek competition helped bring the sororities and fraternities a little closer together.

The games, races, and community projects were worth points toward a final trophy. We didn't place but had a great time trying.

After dinner the pledges presented their skit entitled "Love Tau Style" and sang their pledge song. The Outstanding Pledge Award was given to Carol Schwab.

Our new sweetheart, Gary McGough, was presented and given a paddle.

brothers of Delta Sigma Phi, after the fun and games the brothers held a mixer for the sisters and the pledges. Throughout the semester we had several mixers with various fraternities.

The theme of this semesters Big-Little Sis Party, given by the pledges, was "Come to the Circus". Each big sis came to the party dressed up and played games.

The little sisters then presented their bigs with the traditional paddle and various other gifts.

The annual Senior Banquet was held at the VFW. We had dinner and then the Iittles read their bigs poems.

Deltas ended this semester with the initiation of 19 new sisters.

Zetas Swing Into Spring The Zeta Chapter at Lock Haven State College has been very busy this past semester with the initiation of nine pledges, election of new officers and Tau Weekend.

After a successful rush, nine pledges appeared: Bebe Bungo, Emma Cleek, Barb Collins, Debbie Davis, Sue Glossner, Lynda Lutz, Vicki Mount, Dede Rosenswei and Deb Seago. The theme for our rush program dealt with take-offs from television shows. There was even a re-appearance of the Green Fairy! The final rush party was held at the Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity house, and each rushee and sister dressed as a cartoon character.

During their pledge period, they engaged in many worthwhile projects plus a slave sale with the Phi Mu Delta Fraternity. During their final party, they presented the sorority with a well needed stockpile of construction supplies for rush.

On May 7 we initiated our pledges.

They worked very hard and diligently ANCHOR

toward the goal of sisterhood .

Officers for 1973-74 were elected with the executive board as follows: Pam Murdock, president; Cindy Van Sciver, vice-president; Kathy Murray, recording secretary; Joanne Roch, corresponding secretary; Lynda Lutz, treasurer; Susan Stover, chaplain; J oni Garber, editor; Debbie Davis, housing director; Emma Cleek, custodian; Bev Carman, historian.

An installation banquet was held to honor our new sisters and install the newly elected officers.

Tau Weekend was another huge success this year. The wing was decorated in Sadie Hawkins tradition, and on Friday night, the sisters all dressed as hillbillies.

On Saturday the banquet was held at the Sheraton-Williams Motel in Williamsport.

Our honored guest was Mrs. Nicholas Wanek, District 7 Regional Vice-president. The whole weekend could be summed up as fantastic .

After Easter break, it was once again time for Greek Weekend. Although it rained quite a bit during practice sessions, the spirits of sisters didn't dampen. The sun burst through as the Taus pulled together and placed second.

Theta Celebrates 50th Anniversary at Wayne State University Theta chapter began the spring quarter with our annual Dinner dance, which was held at the Congressional Inn, in Dearborn , Michigan.

Spring rush yielded three actives, Shelley O'Buckley, Pat Monazym, and Sue Rivard. Each girl has brought much to our sorority already. And we are very fortunate to have them as sisters.

We also held election of officers this quarter: President, Cathy Schiller; Vicepresident, Barb Kotula; Recording Secretary, Donna Kanigowski; Treasurer, Judy Fox. Debbie Kanigowski was elected Panhellenic President. Linda Wing, voted our most outstanding senior, graduated this quarter with a bachelor of science.

One of the outstanding highlights of this year was our 50th Anniversary Celebration and Parents' Day, which were held on June 3, 1973. Our district vicepresident Mrs. Donald Bouffard presented our chapter with a gift from national of a silver bowl and engraved platter. Our parents were present so that we might honor them with a small token of our appreciation. The entire affair was rather lovely thanks to the help of all the sisters, especially Judy Fox and Kitty Bowlds.

We at Theta chapter hope more good things and good people will stay in our present and arrive in our future.

. ~~'路'i:~li Iota Springs Into .Action The Iotas at Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas, had a very busy spring semester full of work, fun , and numerous activities.

On January 11, we had an exchange with the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity which consisted of a picnic supper and pool games. The guys topped the night off with a serenade for the Alpha Taus.

The next big event was our formal held on February 10, beginning with a dinner attended by all the sisters and their dates.

Later that evening, a dance was held and at this time the Iotas announced that Kenny Peters as the new sweetheart. The ASTs sang their sweetheart song to Kenny in order to make him feel like a real sweetheart.

20

Senior week-end at Emporia was held February 24 and 25. This is a time when seniors in high school come to the college and not only get acquainted with the school but also with sororities and fraternities. The day started out with the girls arriving at our house and being shown a room in which they were to stay. We then headed for campus where they were shown a multi-media show about K.S.T.C . and were able to talk to counselors and teachers. The rest of the day was spent showing them other sororities and shopping.

The week-end ended with a breakfast Sunday morning.

March came in with our annual Mothers week-end. It began Saturday afternoon with a fashion show sponsored by one of the local dress shops and with some of our girls doing the modeling. This was followed by skits and a dinner, after which we all headed for campus to watch the Miss Emporia State Pageant. The mothers left Sunday after attending church.

The next big event the Iotas participated in was Greek Week. Each fraternity and sorority was responsible for a booth with the proceeds from it going to the American Cancer fund. The ASTs made the most money from their booth which incidentally was a jail. Tuesday night was the exchange dinner which involved 12 people from each house. One person went to a different sorority or fraternity for dinner. Wednesday was Greek games and picnic. Everyone was asked to wear tshirts in the day to advertise the Greeks.

At 4:00p.m. the games began, consisting of kool-ade chugging contest, sweatshirt race, and tug of war (in which ASTs won first place beating the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity). After the games there was a picnic dinner and a horror movie. A party was held Thursday night which wrapped up a very successful Greek Week.

Our Informal was a little bit different this year. We opened our "Night at the Levy" to everyone at a dollar a person. A dixieland band provided the music and over 200 people provided the singing.

On April 29, we held Parents Day. It consisted of a dinner and entertainment and it gave everyone a chance to meet the ANCHOR

parents of their sisters.

Our last party of the year was the one given by and for the seniors. Each of the seniors' little sis presented a skit in which they imitated their big sis. The seniors then ":illed some of their most precious belongmg to the other girls in the house.

It ~nded with a poem written by the semors put to the tune of "Leaving On a Jet Plane."

Throughout the semester we had many great honors. First of all we received 11 new pledges. Kathy Stafford was the winner of "the best pledge award". Cheryl Wyatt, one of our actives, was a semifinalist in the Miss Emporia State contest. Cheryl, along with Jan Robinson were both finalists in the Blue Key Darling contest. Two of the Hornet cheerleaders were from our house ... Susan Alburg (who was chosen captain), and Michelle Watson. Carolyn Liggett, a senior, was chosen as the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity sweetheart at their annual formal. Carmen Rupe, also a senior was one of a group chosen for the USO show which played for the troops overseas.

Five of our girls were chosen for Delta Sigmas, a little sister group for the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity .

We would like to say farewell and thank you to our housemother who will be leaving us this year. All of us wish her the best of luck.

It's A Tau World This semester has been a prosperous and successful one for the Omicrons at Concord. At our informal rush party, we played pin the Tau on the tee shirt and sang Tau songs. Later we had our formal rush party which was based on the theme "The Wizard of Taus". As a result, we gained seven pledges. Mary "Bird" Linger was elected president of the pledge ANCHOR

class, and was later chosen as best pledge.

Our campaigns this semester have benn especially fruitful. Starting off with the Valentine's Day Sweetheart Dance was Betsy Laird who was chosen as Concord's Sweetheart Queen. Later on, two Alpha Taus ran for Miss Concord. We are proud of Pam Reed and Bev Taylor for their courage and willingness to compete for the title. We were especially ecstatic when Pam Reed won the title of Miss Concord. This honor entitles her to compete for Miss West Virginia and hopefully Miss America.

Taking time out from campaigns and working, we enjoyed a keg party with the Pikes and Tikes. We also had a great time with the Theta Xis. Heading up our social life this semester was the traditional Yellow Rose Formal. Our awards were given out during the dance. Best Pledge was Bird Linger; Outstanding junior was Mil Williams; Marsha Myers received the Sportsmanship award; and Frances Latouoakis received a Top Tau Award.

Skipper Adkins was named Sweetheart.

Skip is a member of Theta Fraternity.

Our District Day was held at Longwood College, Farmwood, Virginia. We are enjoying the rush ideas and new songs learned. Needless to say, a great time was had by all.

This semester, our social service projects included visiting local elementary schools and helping with the special education programs. The experience was fun and very rewarding. On the financial side we prospered by having a sub sale in all the dorms and in the student union. We also tried something a little different; we had a shoe shine and jewelry cleaning day. After a few quick lessons from some guys, we became quite proficient at giving New York shoe shines.

At our Big Sis/ Little Sis party, based on the One World of Taus, the pledges presented a banner to the actives. This banner is to be hung in the campus cafeteria.

Ending the semester was May Weekend. This is a traditional Greek Weekend including Greek Games. With a unified effort, we won the tug-of-war and took second place overall. We sponsored

21

Billie Pack for May Queen and she was second runner-up. Our themes for the campaign were Billie the Kik, and Pack a Punch with Billie.

The end of the year is always :sad, but we are happy for the graduates who are leaving to teach or work in their respective fields. This year, we are sad to lose so many friends , but in our hearts we will never forget, nor stop loving those wonderful Taus.

Pi Honors Mothers with an a_AST Evening" We started out with a big bang, six new initiates, Nancy Brush, Carol Shoptaugh, Linda Szydlowski, Charmaine Rohlfing, Jan Wozniak and Marcia Yehlen. After initiation the actives went out to a nearby restaurant to celebrate their new beginning as active sisters. With the help of the new girls we were underway to have a productive semester.

One of our biggest concerns was our annual dance, this year entitled "Come Spend an Evening with Friends". It took a lot of time and work but was well worth it all.

Besides our dance we had various other social functions . We gave dinners for two of the fraternities on campus, Sigma Tau Gamma and Lambda Beta Lambda. After dinner we tried to work off the calories by playing volleyball in the school gym.

Both get-togethers were thoroughly enjoyable.

For awhile the social functions were put aside and more serious matters were challenged. The girls of AST stood on the curb at Sears collecting money for Life Seekers, an organization to help save new born babies.

The time of the year had come to say thank s to Mom, so AST celebrated it in

22

a big way. We fixed dinner, presented our mothers with corsages, had singing of sorority songs and four of our girls, Debbie Berron, Kathy Major, Marcie Yehlen, and Donna Riechers, presented a skit on the life style of a teenager of years ago in comparison to now. After a few chuckles and laughs and full stomachs we ended the evening with a round of "Dear old Alpha Sigma Tau" including our mothers in the vast circle of sisterhood.

We had given a party for our mothers, now it was the "new actives" turn to give the " old actives" a pledge-active party.

They sent out anchor invitations and based the theme around that. The new initiates also presented the sorority with a scrapbook about their pledgeship. It included a work of literature each individual girl liked, pictures of themselves, candid pictures, articles and items they collected during pledging. It is a gift which can always be enjoyed in coming years.

Now that the end of school was drawing near, elections had to be held to obtain leaders for the 1973-74 school year. Our new officers are Jane Chadwick, president; Marcia Yehlen, vice president; Joan Zavitsky, recording secretary ; Nancy Brush, corresponding secretary; Linda Szydlowski, treasurer; Sharon Ahillen, pledgemother; Debbie Berron, editor; Kathy Simon, chaplain; Lori Waddell, historian and Jan Wozniak, jeweler.

We would like to congratulate Debbie Berron and Jane Chadwick for receiving scholarships for the coming fall semester.

Most chapters are closing up for vacation, but not the Pi girls. Nancy Brush and Jan Wozniak are planning weddings this year; Marcia Yehlen and Carol Shoptaugh will probably soon be planning too .

Barb Weber Ogle will not be vacationing much this summer because of her new arrival Nicole Christine born in May. Three of our girls Betty Brennen, Rosie Taminga and Ruth Ann Siekmann went from college to unemployment after graduation so they'll probably spend some of their vacation looking for teaching jobs.

With rush being early in September, the Alphas at Harris Teachers College have already started to make invitation and other items for rush .

Busy Spring for Zeta Taus Longwood's Zeta Taus had an exciting spring in Farmville, Va . Mrs. Mary Charles Ashby, National Vice President, visited us in the spring. During May Day weekend, we hosted a tea for our parents.

District Day was at Longwood this year and chapters from Madison, Concord, Shepherd, and Radford visited us.

We sang each others' songs and put on skits. Madison invited us to Harrisonburg next year.

Several Zeta Taus were tapped colleagues to help with orientation next year while Jane Chalkley, Beryl Dixon, Patsy Garrett, Karen Grubb, Susie King, Ellen Saunders, and Robin Wallmeyer were selected to be peapickers to perpetuate the Green 'n White spirit.

During class elections, Robin Glascock was elected president of the rising senior class; Paula Williams, vice-president of the rising senior class; Suzanne Stewart, secretary of the rising senior class; Karen Cooper, historian of the rising senior class; Debi Carter, president of the rising sophomore class; Betsy Nutter, historian of the rising sophomore class. Loretta Bunting and Susan Ridenour were Judicial Board representatives. Beryl Dixon, Ann Steger, and Mary Beth Yeakley served on Residence Board.

AST was very proud that Debbie Chapman was a member of CHI, Longwood's group recognizing service to the school.

Beryl Dixon was a sophomore helper, and senior Cindy Cain and sophomore Karen Grubb were commended.

ARC Awards for school service were awarded to Loretta Bunting and Kathe Kutsher. Suzanne Stewart was tapped into Geist, the leadership honorary, and Kappa Delta Pi, the national education ANCHOR

honorary. Valerie Bryant was pledged into Alpha Lambda Delta, the national honorary for freshmen.

During Awards' Assembly, Debbie Chapman was awarded the Mi chael R. Riordan Scholarship and Jeanne Davis received the Richard Barron award for scholastic achievement and the Alpha Lambda Delta Book Award .

One of our sisters, Sandy Goodman, received a very special honor. Sandy was chosen Rose Queen for the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Virginia.

At the Rose Ball, she was presented a dozen red roses. Sandy is now competing for the National Rose Queen of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.

After a busy and exciting pledgeship, twenty-two pledges were initiated.

Upsilon Promotes Szsterhood The Upsilon Taus at State College of Arkansas in Conway had a busy yet funfilled spring semester. The semester could not begin in any better way than towelcome two beautiful new pledges. Suzanne Daves and Lynn Cranor soon discovered that Alpha Sigma Tau is truly a "Special Way of Feeling."

The annual Sigma Kappa Debutant Ball was the first big event of the semester, and gave Upsilon the chance to show off our lovely fall and spring pledges. The presentation of all the sororities' pledges was followed by an evening of ballroom dancing.

With an emphasis on sisterhood, Upsilon had a semester filled with a rich array of parties and projects which promoted a genuine concern for each sister and others.

A small sized version of the olympics in

23

Munich was held for retarded children on the S.C.A. campus, and Upsilon was there to aid in organization, giving out awards and in many other ways. It was very rewarding to see those children try so hard to win and to think that we shared in their fun and success. The annual Alpha Sigma Tau March of Dimes Rocka-thon was moved to the Wal-Marts parking, which was full of excitement. A band played for an hour, adding to the excitement and drawing a large crowd. The 1973 annual Alpha Sigma Tau Rock-athon proved to be fun and at the same time profitable.

Rush was a large part of Upsilon's life this spring. The members took a large group of rushees out to eat pizza, which was a great success, but the best party of the season was our 1950's rush party. In the setting of a 1950 soda shop, complete with a juke box, Elvis posters, ice cream sodas, ponytails and bobby socks, Taus jitterbugged to the delight of the lovely rushees. The festivities ended with a slumber party in the sorority room.

We entertained our mothers with a Mother-Daughter tea and entertained our boyfriends with a trip to Snug Harbor Dinner Theatre. We ended the spring semester by entertaining ourselves with a secret sis (i.e. T -Tau) party. All of the "T-Taus" were revealed and gifts were exchanged among them.

Upsilon was proud to receive many honors this year. Three beautiful Taus were selected to be in the Miss S.C.A. pageant. They were Tracey West, Katie Long, and Marcia Dickerson. Terry Walker was chosen as Pi Kappa Alpha Sweetheart, and Suzanne Daves was first runner-up in the Phi Lambda Chi Best Dressed Coed contest. Two Taus were chosen to be officers in the S.C.A. drill team, the Stepperettes. Nana Humphrey was chosen to be Captain, and Katie Long is the new choreographer.

Upsilon's sisterhood glows throughout the campus. Our love grows with every new activity. Through work and play, Upsilon Taus grow closer together and everyone is very much aware that sisterhood is truly a "Special Way of Feeling."

Spring Brings Phis WorkJ Fun and Honors The Phi Chapter of Southeastern Louisiana University opened the spring semester with the initiation of the fall pledges. We welcomed 13 new initiates to our chapter in January and six pledges from the spring King Cake Rush Party.

Our next event was the Parents' Tea. The parents were welcomed and later entertained by the sisters singing several AST songs. Refreshments were served and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Before we knew it Greek Week was on us and the sisters and pledges were in on the fun. Phi Chapter annually sponsors the Greek Week Hootenanny and, as usual, it was lots of fun and a success. We won first place in two Greek events: the Pyramid Building Contest and the Root Beer Drinking Contest.

The Phis joined their brothers in Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity for their social service project. An Easter Egg Hunt was held for the children of Hammond State School.

Sweetheart Becky Brady and Beau Gary Guidry

Next on the agenda was the annual spring formal. The theme for this year's formal was "Pieces of April." At the formal the new officers and new initiates were presented and Shelley Dohmann, last year's sweetheart, relinquished her title to Becky Brady. The traditional beau dance began and Gary Guidry was announced our new beau.

At the end of the semester, some of the sisters of Phi Chapter received recognition at the Annual Honors Convocation.

Karyl Skokan received the Student Government Leadership Award, a Green "S" Award, and with Janet Wrobel was named to "Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges." Debbie Shrader received a Psychology Award. Later, Karyl Skokan was initiated into the Thirteen Club, the S.L.U. honor society, and Debbie Shrader won grand prize in the Louisiana College Writers Society's competition for her poetry.

At the annual awards assembly, held each spring at the college, the Chi Chapter won the scholastic award for having the highest average of the sororities on campus.

We were honored by the visit of Mrs. Mary Charles Ashby, National Vice President of District III. We all appreciated the wonderful ideas and help she gave us.

The annual Anchor Party was sponsored by the Shepherdstown Alumnae Chapter. The seniors to join the ranks of the alumnae were Roxanne Roach, Kristie Grimes, Karen Oliff, Lisa Franzen, Karen Anderson, Nancy Miller, Mary Whittington, and Missy Mills.

The Chis ended the semester with the Spring Dinner Dance. Honored at the banquet were Chi's Outstanding Senior, Kristie Grimes; Yellow Rose Queen, Karen Anderson; and best pledge, Susan Tabler. The dinner dance ended a semester of hard work and good times.

We all had a fabulous time at our "Fantastic 50's" rush party, which began a semester filled with fun and work.

We had several bake sales which were a great success and for a break in our regular routine, we attended "Harvey," a play produced by students at the college.

Our Greek Intramural Basketball title was stolen in the final game by one slim point. Softball intramurals may best be described as: "win a few, lose a few, and some get rained out."

As usual, Psi turned out in full force to celebrate Greek Week. The judges were surprised by our Greek Sing Medley which included "I Am Woman."

Psi graduated nine seniors this year who were honored at our annual Senior Send-Off along with two sisters who were transferring from Madison. We sadly presented each girl with a sterling Jefferson cup engraved with the sorority letters.

Psi decided to end the year in a new manner. Instead of spending a vacation week in Virginia Beach, eighteen sisters travelled to Daytona Beach, Florida and camped for two weeks.

Psi is anticipating a fruitful fall rush.

During the coming year each sorority will occupy its own floor in a new highrise dormitory. We will be housing non-affiliated women among us who we hope will decide to "GO GREEK." Along with our new living arrangements we will be instituting new rush procedures, including first semester freshman pledging. Our rush program was actually begun in the summer with Panhellenic having its own presentation of sorority life incorporated in the college-sponsored freshman orientation program. Our own Patty Page, Panhellenic Social Chairman was in charge of this program.

The Alpha Gammas of Henderson State College in Arkadelphia, Arkansas began what was to be an exciting spring semester by receiving ten new pledges, all of whom became members. After their initiation, our new sisters were enthused about finding new pledges, so we all worked hard and as a result, nine more girls pledged and were initiated at the end of the semester. Mrs. Roberta Kelly was also initiated with these girls as our co-sponsor, and she hosted a party in her home after the initiation as a welcome party for the new members, and a farewell party for the graduation seniors.

Having nineteen new sisters is enough to make any semester an exciting one, but many more activities, both on and off campus, involved Taus.

On January 27, the formal Panhellenic dance was held in the ballroom at H.S.C. There was a reception before the dance in our sorority room where all the sisters brought their dates to meet their sisters and to receive their favors.

Alpha Chi, the national honorary scholarship organization, sent bids to two Taus, and on February 28, Linda Bradshaw and Brenda Jones were initiated.

They, along with other honor students at H.S.C. were honored with a banquet on March 8.

Three Taus were chosen by various organizations to participate in the "Miss Henderson Pageant" on March 29. Selected were: Judy Minor, who performed a jazz twirl routine; Martha Cothren who played the guitar and sang a song she wrote; and Brenda Jones who sang the Carole King song, "Beautiful."

Two weeks later the H.S.C. annual Spring Fling was held, consisting of a week of fun , games, and contests for the students. Several Taus entered these contests and several Taus won. Kathy Dillard placed third in the tennis tournament, and second in the badminton tournament. Kathy and her partner, Jerry Harrison, placed first in the co-ed, twoman team athletic competition. The Taus also placed first in the intramural swim team competition, and second in the intramural basketball competition. Kathy Dillard was chosen the most valuable player for the entire tournament. In the talent show, Brenda Jones sang a medley of Carole King songs and was one of six winners in this contest.

The State Panhellenic Workshop was held in April in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Girls from sororities all over the state attended this workshop-seminar on rush and other panhellenic topics. Ten Alpha Gammas were present.

To raise money during the spring semester, we had a penny-pitching booth in the Spring Fling Fair, and later sponsored a Spring-Fever 0-Gram sale. The students could purchase a card wit h a message and a piece of candy, and the Taus delivered them to mail boxes and dormatories. Both projects proved to be successful.

Our annual Parent-Daughter banquet was held on April 15, with a reception in the Panhellenic house preceeding t he banquet. This gave the parents a chance to meet all the Taus and their sponsors, and gave the Taus a chance to meet their sisters' parents.

As a school year ends, many awards are given and elections are held. Julie Klerekoper and Rhonda Dickey received the "Distinguished Service" award for outstanding service in work they did for the "Star", Henderson's annual yearbook.

Cindy Henderson was elected to be President of the Arkansas Home-Economics Association, and Debbie Holt was elected President of the Panhellenic Council for next year. Beth Savage was elected Sophomore Greek representat ive in the Student Government Association, and Kathy Dillard was elected Cheerleader.

Alpha Epszlons Have New House With the coming of the new year, the Alpha Epsilons on Western Illinois University are anxiously awaiting the opening of their new house. Their new house on 1 Pollack Drive will be opened fall quarter for occupancy after many hard working hours. The sisters have had many projects in which to raise money for their new house. The latest project has been a raffle which the AEs held in which they raffled off the use of a camper for a week, and fifty dollars in cash. Second prize was a camera, and third prize was a dinner at the Holiday Inn. This was our latest project which will help to furnish our house, but it is not the first and far from the last project we will have.

We are also anxiously awaiting the dedication of our house on October 20th, 1973. That is homecoming weekend at WIU and a perfect weekend for the dedication. All the sisters are very excited about this event and are looking forward to meeting all our alumnae at this great event.

Rush this year, spring and winter

quarters, was a success for the Alpha Epsilons. We participated in rush with five rush parties and two formal parties.

We were working at a disadvantage for we didn't have a house in which we could entertain, but with the ingenuity of our rush and assistant rush chairmen and the cooperation of the whole chapter, we took a quota pledge class of twelve girls.

Winter Frolics was an extremely good time this year. The AEs went into the semi-finals in broom hockey and although we didn't win, we had a very good time.

We also participated in the log carry, banner contest, and the ice sculpture.

Spring quarter was one exciting event after another. Among the many events, the AEs participated in Greek Week. The top event in Greek Week this year was Sigma Sing in which the fraternities and sororities put on a kind of variety show.

The AEs did a medley of top hits from the fifties, in their ' Fabulous Fifties' number. Though we did not place in the competition, it gave the sisters a chance to get together for t he sole purpose of having a good time, and WE DID HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!

Other activities spring quarter in which the AEs participated were the TXSoap Box Derby, TKE Derby Day, ATO RAFT Race in which we took a second place. We also participated in Macomb clean-up, the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund Iaker, and the Delta Sigma Phi drive for the Macomb handicapped children.

The AEs have many reasons to be proud of their sisters, Sue Dunteman, and Debbie Summerlot were named to WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES. Beside the many offices in our University Union Board, Student Government Association, honor fraternities, cheerleading, and the pompon squad, we also were happy that AST had three members on the Panhellenic Executive Board. Cindy Winter is President, Debbie Harris is Secretary, and Linda Frintner is Public Relations Chairman.

There are certain people in this world that work and strive to help other people with such dedication and love, and are not recognized for their help . The Alpha Epsilons would like to take this chance to thank three wonderful women that have helped us in innumerable ways in helping make our new house a reality .

They are Miss Buckley, Mrs. Frowein, and Mrs. Mary Moon. All three women have worked so hard for the sisters and we only hope that we can make them as proud of us as we are of them.

Spring for Alpha Thetas Getting Down To Business

tary and Beth Kronk as treasurer.

Spring - sometimes that very fact makes it hard for ASTs (and just about everyone) to get down to business when it comes to schoolwork. Academically, however, Alpha Thetas this year carried the highest grade point average of any sorority on campus. But special credit must go to one very bright AST, Sharon Ziemniak, who received the "Woman of the Year" award for demonstrating both her scholastic and extra curricular abilities at the University of Detroit.

Alpha Kappas Visited

by National Officers The spring semester at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio brought a great deal of activity to the Alpha Kappa chapter. The newly elected officers were installed at the first business meeting of the new year. Committee chairmen were also elected at this time.

Our pledge class began its "Hell Week" the following week. The pledge revolt that traditionally signals the end of the week's activities was held at the Rambler Visiting National Officers . Mrs . Phipps , Mrs . McBee. Miss MacDonald. Mrs. King , and Miss Wilson . discuss housing plans with AK Alumnae Advisor Mrs. Hill , Chapter President Mary Ann Sexton and AK Faculty Advisor Mrs. Frail.

Alpha Thetas at University of Detroit will be remembering the spring of 1973 for a long time to come. "All sisters together," the girls plotted and executed plans for bake sales, "still winter" pool parties, and even encounter sessions!

Then off to a tri-chapter get-together at the Continental Congress Inn in Detroit.

But spring brought serious business for Alpha Thetas too - elections for one thing. The new officers include Kathy Birch as president, Paula Jagusch as vice-president, Carol Harvilla as secreANCHOR

Motel in town. The pledges returned to the chapter house after successfully hiding off campus for five hours. Activation was on January 27. The pledge gift to the house was a new indoor mail container.

Our new district president, Mrs. Donald Bouffard, paid us a visit in early February. A reception was held to welcome her to the campus. Mrs. Bouffard spoke with each member and addressed the entire chapter at the business meeting.

Everyone enjoyed meeting Mrs. Bouffard and her spirit and enthusiasm for the sorority impressed us greatly. We are looking forward to working with her in the coming years.

Our formal, "Nights in White Satin", soon followed at the Marietta Holiday Inn. This year we held a cocktail party at the chapter house before the buffet dinner for all the sisters and their dates.

At the dinner Debbie Smith received the Best Pledge award from her pledge class.

A surprise toast was made for each senior by one of the pledges.

As always the formal was a major highlight of the year. During the dance the pledges presented two songs they had written. Pledge trainer Janet Chase also made an impromptu singing appearance. This formal will long be remembered by everyone.

For our social service project this semester we sponsored two showings of Little Rascal movies. All proceeds went 30

to the Washington County Mental Health Center. This was the second year we have shown this type of film and they are looked forward to by the entire campus.

Many members of the chapter also devoted their time and energies to the local Red Cross telethon that was held in March. Their services included answering phones and taking pledge contributions.

Our Spring Break saw Alpha Kappas heading in many directions - Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts and even parts of Ohio. Gale Jozwik went to Florida with the college singers where they performed concerts throughout the state.

A special performance was given in Disney World in Orlando.

Upon our return to campus we were honored by a visit from five of our national officers: Mrs. King, Miss Wilson, Miss Macdonald, Mrs. McBee, and Mrs. Phipps. An informal meeting of the entire chapter was held where all five officers spoke. A buffet dinner was held for our visitors, the chapter, our alumnae adviser Mrs. Hill and our faculty adviser Mrs. Frail. The care and concern shown by these dedicated women made a great impact on all of us. Many helpful suggestions were made for our rush program next fall.

An all-campus week was sponsored by the college panhellenic and inter-fraternity council in April. The week began with house decorating. The ASTs showed the most spirit and enthusiasm with our Easter theme. Flowers decorated our front porch and Easter eggs highlighted the bushes. Peter Rabbit himself was seen on the upper story of the house.

The social service project for the week was collecting cans of food from townspeople for the needy. A total of 1056 cans were collected and the Alpha Kappas collected 510 of those cans.

The week ended with the Greek sing competition. In the conte t between the sororities the ASTs won with our rendition of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing in Perfect Harmony".

Elections were held for our homecoming queen candidate and the erenade chairmen. Barb Morrison was cho en a our candidate. Producer of the erenade A CHOR

will be Joanne Johnson and Gale J ozwik will direct the skit.

Alpha Kappas won many honors at this year's honor assembly. In sports we won trophies for volleyball and softball and our team made a fine showing at the swim meet with first places in all but two events.

Our annual Senior Nite was held at the home of our faculty advisor Mrs. Frail. The seniors presented a skit with a news-show format to highlight the events of their four years at MC. The undergraduates' gift to the graduates was a bottle of champagne for each and a contribution in their name to the Coach Frail Memorial Fund.

Many marriages took place during the semester and upon graduation. Alpha Kappas who made the trip to the altar were Pat Hatch, Lynn Bond, Rose Fredosso, Joanne Bloom, and Margie Hartong. Mary Ann Sexton was soon to be altar-bound.

Graduation Day for the 14 Alpha Kappa seniors was Sunday, May 13. A brunch was held at the chapter house in the morning for the seniors, their families and friends and our sorority advisors.

Corsages were given to all the mothers since it was Mother's Day. We all left Marietta cherishing the memories of Barbara A. Perry being an AST.

Alpha La1nbda: Taus OJZ the Move ...

As always, the Alpha Lambda sisters at Radford have been on the move. We have enjoyed a very successful Spring and would like for you all to share in our accomplishments.

The Radford Chapter was well represented at District Day hosted by Zeta Tau at Longwood. The delegation presented our rush slide show which was ANCHOR

well received. Those attending enjoyed renewing old friend ships while making new ones. We were especially happy to see Mrs. Mary Charles Ashby, District President, who visited our chapter early in the quarter.

May 14th found the chapter competing against 15 other sororities durin g VPISU Sigma Chi's Derby Day. Even with excellent fraternity coaching, we only placed in the top half. Needless to say,we did our best to display lots of Tau spirit while having a great time.

Our annual cabin party was held at Clayton Lake in May. Keeping tradition, the seniors stayed alone on Friday night with alums and actives arriving Saturday. A most enjoyable time was had by all-especially the "rookies"! We were also pleased to welcome back alums "Hank" Hankinson, Suzi Bywaters, Carla Zimmerman McDaniel, Cindy Moore Howard, Anne Amend, and Patti Czewarski.

We are very excited about our new room-it's so pretty! After careful planning, it was decided that we would panel two walls and finish the other two with wallboard. Using all our available fund , including projects for that specific purpose and alum contributions, we were able to complete this phase of our work.

During the past two quarters, Alpha Lambda has welcomed 17 new sisters. In February, the "Tau Ten" were initiated.

The Winter pledge class was known as "The Super Seven".

Many individual honors have been won by our girls. We were especially proud of Jeannie Meanor who was voted May Queen. Three of her seven attendants were also Taus-Margaret uckols, Pat Youngblood, and Kathy Jones. During Greek Week, AST took all the personality awards among campus sororities.

Lynn Sullivan was selected Most Spirited; Jeannie Meanor, Friendliest, and Pat Wright, Best All Round. Peggy Swinburne was recipient of the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society scholarship, the first Radford student to do so.

Reba Edwards, a member of the Winter pledge class was named "Best Pledge" at Cabin Party.

Spring and Fun Memories Go Hand and Hand for Alpha Mu The sisters of Alpha Mu, University of Arkansas at Montecello, had a busy fun-filled semester but for some of us it passed much too quickly. What better way is there to start the semester than by raffling a big box of Valentine candy!

We were all hoping someone might win it for one of us but on the other hand summer was fast approaching and most of us were weight watchers.

This semester our pledges did something new. They selected a member of the week for each week . The award was presented each Monday night at our sorority meeting.

We knew some able, young male could put Robin Hood to shame, so we raffled a Ben Pearson bow later in the Spring.

The winner was presented the bow at the Sadie Hawkin 's dance.

Who says there isn't an Easter bunny?

Well, actually, there isn't but this semester the Alpha Taus sponsored a campus Easter egg hunt. The dyed eggs were hidden all over campus. Gold eggs were rare and the person who found one received a certificate for a free pizza, compliments of the Alpha Taus. A green egg was worth a hamburger, french fries and coke at a local drive-in. A prize was also warded to the person finding the most eggs.

We enjoyed a visit from Camme Gennaro and Dianne Scucchi. We welcome t heir helpful suggestions and enjoy talking with them.

Louann Ray of Alpha Mu was chosen Sigma Tau Gamma White Rose Sweetheart for 1973. The award was presented at the annual Sigma Tau GammaAlpha Sigma Tau White Rose formal.

We selected Glenn Johnston of Sigma Tau Gamma as our beau for 1973.

The Special Olympics for the retarded children of Arkansas was held on the University campus this year. We set up a road-block before the Olympics to raise money for this worthwhile effort. We also assisted during the Olympics by helping the children get ready for each race and pinning the ribbons on them.

A torch has been flaming in front of the Wesley Foundation on campus in honor of the prisoners of war in Vietnam.

When the prisoners were all home the torch was extinguished. The siste~s of Alpha Mu were honored that we were spect~tors in this momentous and happy occaswn.

Alpha Mu is proud to announce that two sisters did quite well in t he Miss University of Arkansas at Monticello contest, which was held this Spring.

Many of the members in Alpha Mu are leaving or have left the sorority this semester to take a new name and many new responsibilities. A garter service was held for Joyce Huber, Sharon Starks, Sue Sturdivant, Beverly McDonald and Vickie Hunter. This is a very meaningful service to each and every girl in the sorority. Each girl was presented with a garter to wear in her wedding and to cherish as a keepsake.

We salute Patricia Tyson, our outgoing President. Tricia is graduating this year. We can't express in words how much the sorority will miss her. She guided us in all the right ways. She is nationally and locally, our "Top Tau." Louann Ray

Sendry was voted by the sisters as best pledge.

The sisters all enjoyed the sorority spring formal dance held in March at Cross Creek Country Club. At the dance, Mark Hendman received our Tau "Man of the Year" award. The formal was a great success.

April was a very busy month with final preparations for Greek olympics and Greek sing . The Taus placed third overall in the Greek weekend.

Before leaving, plans were made for our summer picnic in July. We regretfully said "goodbye" to our 15 graduating seniors and wished them well in the future.

As predicted, this past spring was one of the busiest yet . Our informal "littlegirl" rush party, where sisters acted out skits and nursery rhymes, was a lot of fun. The theme of the formal party was Itaulia, and with the atmosphere of candles and red and white checkered tablecloths, sisters and rushees enjoyed an elaborate Italian dinner. On April 16, we received 10 new sisters: Sherry Anderson, Kay Bailey, Sharlene Cunningham, Lynn Dodsworth, Michele Kohan, Barb Sendry, Jan Smith, Lee Ann Wood, Kathy Zahner, and Ramona Zelek.

With our return to Northeast Missouri State University in January, the actives of Alpha Sigma Chapter, busied themselves with final preparations for the activation of the five fall pledges.

Alpha Sigma's Alumnae Chapter held a special Alum Tea in observance of our Colony Day, February eleventh. The Tea also recognized our five years on campus.

Open Rush goes on all the time at NMSU, but AST decided to proceed with a "hard rush" plan. So we charged forward with such enthusiasm from February fifth to conclude with ribbon pledging and pin pledging on March the sixth. During this month of Rush, a semi formal rush party was given for Saint Valentine's Day on February fifteenth. The girls enjoyed the party and were quite impressed with our special candlelighting.

College Panhellenic held its banquet on March fifteenth and Kathi Michalas was cited as "Miss Congeniality" by the other sororities.

Pledge Presides Over Junior Panhellenic Council Spring Semester at Edinboro State College is a very busy time, especially for the Alpha Taus.

The two rush parties, Alpha Taus and Mother Goose, and Cabaret, were a great success. The pledges were a serious and yet playful group. Pledge Harriett Kisilinsky was President of the Junior Panhellenic Council, which sponsored many activities to bring all sororities closer together. .

Following an interesting pledge period, which included a trip to Shippensburg State College for State Day (it was a great weekend), Harriett Kisilinsky and Debra J o Rutkowski became sisters.

They were honored at the annual Spring weekend dinner dance, held at the Concord Inn in Northeast. Sister Jeanne Wokutch was presented with the Yellow Rose award for 1973.

Alpha Phi "Lets Its Hair Down" The Alpha Phi Chapter at West Chester State College in West Chester, Pa., had a very busy and exciting spring semester. After a formal rush, we were proud to welcome four new sisters. They are Jill Springer, Gail Hoerner, Anna Marie Arcuri and Pam Pearce.

The spring pledge class worked very hard after pin-pledging. Anna Marie Arcuri was elected President of her pledge class, with Jill Springer as Vice President and Pam Pearce as Treasurer.

To raise money for various events, the pledges sold Easter eggs, which turned out to be very successful. The pledges also held a party for the sisters and put on a skit for them. While the sisters were enjoying the punch and munching on the popcorn, pretzels and brownies served, the pledges gave a take-off on the television program, "The Dating Game," trying to represent as many sisters as they could. With the money left over from the party, the pledges presented the sisters with a lovely white lace tablecloth at initiation which was on April 28. Jill Springer was named best pledge, and Anna Marie Arcuri was awarded for having the best pledge notebook. After initiation, a party was held that night because the picnic that was originally scheduled was rained out.

Our formal was on February 17 at the Collegeville Inn. It began with a cocktail hour and fabulous hors d'oeuvres. There was a beautiful giant duck carved out of ice as a decoration, and for dinner we had roast beef with all the trimmings.

After dinner, the sisters danced until the wee hours, and everyone had a splendid time. We also had our annual Red Garter Party with Sigma Tau Gamma on March 3, and everyone dressed up in the roaring twenties style. We had another party with Tau Kappa Epsilon which was also very successful.

Several of our sisters went to State Day on March 31 at Shippensburg State College and enjoyed it very much. We would like to thank the sisters at Shippensburg for a nice and informing session.

Greek Weekend wes also another very busy and exciting time for us. Our theme this year was "Let Your Hair Down-Go Greek." After working very hard, we received second place for our skit, " Greekpunzel", and second place for our dining hall decorations. Scheduled for Friday night was a hayride and bonfire in Delaware, and Saturday there were Greek Games with rotating parties Saturday

Alpha Chi Honors Graduates We have been a very busy sorority since the last time you heard from us!

We had quite an eventful and exciting Greek Week at Northeastern University this year. And a very successful one!

Once again we won the Greek Sing. And if I may say so, we were quite good! We did a medley of songs which included " Give My Regards To Broadway", "Chicago", " On the Boardwalk Miss America", and "The Impossible Dream" for a grand finale. Different girls dressed in costumes to fit each song and did a little skit to go with that song. This was allowable since Greek Sing was a little altered this year at N.U. It was named "Greek Variety Night" so as not to be singing exclusively. The new change worked out well.

Besides being talented musically, we were honored to have a runner-up for Queen of the traditional Greek Ball. We were all very proud of Nancy White. Our pretty Nancy was also one of our graduating seniors. Our other graduating members were our president, Susan Kline and Linda Trasko. In honor and appreciation of our graduates, we spent an enjoyable and interesting evening at Durgin Park treating them to a little "testimonial" ANCHOR

dinner. After that we took in a Red Sox baseball game at Fenway Park. I can't remember if our team won or not but we all had a great time! We'll miss them!

Before the seniors left we shared two major events-our annual banquet and election of officers.

Our new officers are: president, Ernestine Struzziero; vice president, Joanne Scott; corresponding secretary, Denise Hollender; recording secretary, Diane Restivo; treasurer, Mary Lisa Mills; chaplain, Joyce Morrow; editor, Jean Quigley; historian, Kathy Maijka; housing director, Janet Anastasio.

Beta Beta Holds Housewarming for New Room The girls from Beta Beta at Widener College, Chester, Pennsylvania, walked into a new year and a new sorority room .

It was the same room but it certainly looked new. The walls had been painted mint green and some lovely curtains softly shaded the sun from the windows.

On April 14, 1973 we celebrated by having a housewarming party, The planning was well done thanks to our wonderful housing director, Monica Malone. Monica suggested that each sister bring a little gift to warm the room.

Beta Beta got its rushing functions under way with a game night on February 8, 1973. A beef and beer night and an early morning hour of coffee and donuts gave the sisters a marvelous time to get to know the rushees. .

To obtain funds for our later functwns the sisters held a bake sale on March 9.

ANCHOR

Our pledges were ribbon pinned on March 15, in the sorority room, pin pledged on March 19, 1973. We want to extend a warm welcome to Barbara Doudt and Deborah Evans.

The pledges held a bake sale on April 5 to raise funds for the picnic they gave to sisters on April 14, 1973. All the Beta Beta gals and dates loaded t heir cars and headed for Valley Forge. The day was a little cool but we still drank a lot of cold cokes.

As a social service project some of the sisters took a Friday afternoon to visit Wallingford Nursing Home. We all had a great time and plan to do it again this fall.

For the Philadelphia and Wilmington alums and our mothers, the sisters had a tea. We want to thank all who came and Mrs. Durney. Without her help we wouldn't have had a very well run affair.

Mrs. Durney, thank you.

The sisters decided, toward the end of the school year, to get to know the evening division students at Widener College. We hosted a coffee and donuts hour twice a week for three weeks. The students told us that they really appreciated the treats and we had a nice time meeting the new people . . Our last meeting saw us electing our new officers.

Beta Epsilon Sponsors State Day BUSY is the only way to describe the activity of Beta Epsilon at Shippensburg State College during the spring semester.

There was not one moment to spare from January 'til May. This past spring will always be very special to Beta Epsilon, for it was on March 30 that numerous chapters in the state of Pennsylvania congregated on the campus of S.S.C. for State Day. We were also honored to have among our guest Mrs. Thomas J. King, National President; Miss Margaret Macdonald, National Treasurer; Mrs. Maryland Wanek, National Vice President District II; ANCHOR

Mrs . Sybil King, National President. welcomes all at State Day.

and Mrs. Sally Wales, National Vice President, District II. Much planning went into making State Day a. huge success. To start the day, a receptiOn was held in the student union building proceeded by a buffet luncheon and song fest. During the course of the 路 afternoon, various seminars were held on the many aspects of sorority life. These seminars proved to be most beneficial because it was then that an exchange of ideas took place. Many acquired new thoughts on pledging, money making projects, and especially on how to promote the Greek way. To end it all, a dinner was held and then all departed on their separate ways.

Beta Epsilon was very proud of State Day and we have our sisters Cindy Emerick and Barbara Yust to thank for making State Day a time of singing, laughing, and just sheer fun. All of us got to meet our othP.r sisters and what was especially enjoyable was that at the day's conclusion, we had all made new It's chow time for the sisters w ho attended State Day at Shippensburg State College .

Rush Week also kept us jumping. This was a grand time for all. In fact, we almost gained a few male rushees during our Informal Rusher, " A Hawaiian Luau," (they kept peaking in the windows at all the girls in grass skirts). At the week's end, we acquired six new sisters.

Pledging was a bit hectic with pledge trade days with the fraternities and many sister-pledge activities such as a 6: 00 a.m. exercise morning. We were quite a sight that morning!

On March 10, Beta Epsilon celebrated t hree years of being a chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau. Each year t he Yellow Rose gets bigger and better. This year it was held at the Sheraton Motor Inn, Hagerstown, Maryland. It was a night to be long remembered!

Also during the mont h of March, t he Miss Shippensburg State College Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant, was held. A highlight of the evening was when Beta Epsilon's own Chris Oleska was named Miss Congeniality.

Beta Epsilon had a few projects to attend to such as collecting canned goods at Easter time for baskets of goods for needy families. During All-College Week, we sponsored a sorority swim meet. For all who entered, it was a barrel of laughs.

The year ended on a rather sad note .

Beta Epsilon had twenty-six graduating sisters. For our seniors, we held a special banquet where senior Diane Worster was awarded Top Tau. Patti Bothwell

Beta Zetas Ready for Action When spring arrived, it found the Beta Zetas at UAB ready for an active quarter of fun , laughter, projects and sisterhood.

At the beginning of the quarter, the Beta Zetas joined with other groups and citizens of Birmingham to help with the annual March-of-Dimes Walkathon.

Many of the sisters walked while others worked on the papers at designated areas.

We were honored with a visit from our new District President, Miss Camille Gennaro. This was our first chapter inspection and visit since our change of districts. We all found her to be a jewel to our chapter, as she was filled with both suggestions and criticisms for improvement.

During our chapter's visitation our newly elected officers were installed with the ceremonies being observed not only by our District President, but our National President, Mrs. Thomas J. King, also. The new officers are Constance Smith, president; Stephanie Konstant, vice-president; Diane Lovell, treasurer; Debby Brink, corresponding secretary; Lynne Townsend, recording secretary; Becky Edwards, chaplain; Lorrie Barra, historian; Nancy Hanners, editor; Betti Smith, pledge chairman and housing director; Linda Gordon, rush chairman; Teresa Richards, courtesy chairman; Tootsie Helton, social service chairman; Ginny Childress, assistant social service chairman; Pam Liles, ritual chairman and initiation chairman; Nancy Morse, music chairman; and Vicki Smith and Sofia Lafakis, pan hellenic representatives.

University of Alabama in Birmingham's Blood Drive.

Two new rushees were ribbon and pin pledges prior to school closing. They were Diwana Hudspeth and Bonnie Wells.

Beta Zeta received recognition on campus this quarter with Nancy Morse being elected President of the School of Nursing Student Nurses Association and Constance Smith elected as its 2nd VicePresident. Nancy Morse was also initiated into the Nursing Honor SororitySigma Theta Tau. Because we were quite active in participation in the school intramural activities, we received the "Best Sportsmanship" Award and many individual awards at the school's Award Banquet.

As our special treat prior to summer vacation, we spent the weekend with one of our sisters at her house on the Tennessee River." During this time we, with great pleasure, initiated as alums two ASTs from Macon, Ga., who had been awaiting initiation for the past five years.

Congratulations, Rhea Bentall Patrick and Chris Myers.

For our departing seniors, we gave a dinner party honoring our graduating seniors: Delores Holmes and Jeanette Feezel.

Fund raising activities included bake sales, and our annual Spring Fest booth.

Spring fest is an annual three-day event at SIU during which there are tricycle races, frog jumping contests, dances, tug-of-war contests, pie-eating contests, canoe races, various games and carnival rides. Alpha Sigma Tau participated in most of the events that were held and also sponsored a booth called "The Green Garter" which was decorated in green and gold.

The highlight of the Spring quarter was the Spring Formal given in conjunction with the Beta Eta Chapter Founders' Day. The dinner-dance was held at the Crest House in downtown Saint Louis. This was an evening that was enjoyed by all, and concluded the quarter in a fitting manner.

These past quarters have been very productive for the Beta Etas and we are now looking forward to next year in hopes that it will be just as fulfilling .

Co-ed Fraternities Administrators of various colleges and universities are asking fraternity officers their opinions on coeducational fraternities . At a few schools girls have been initiated into men's fraternities . So far no word has been received of the initiation of men into women's groups.

To letters of inquiry about our attitude toward this " new" idea ALPHA PHI has replied that we are not interested. The reasons are obvious. We are chartered as a women's fraternity, National Panhellenic Conference is restricted to women's fraternities, and once we admit men members we cease to exist as a women's fraternity.

But the intrinsic reasons for our disinterest are probably more valid than the obvious ones. Ever since women were admitted to institutions of higher learning, they have had to struggle for recognition. Even though women students no longer have to sit behind screens so as not to offend the men professors with their presence, and it is rare (although not unheard of) for a professor to refuse to call upon a woman student in class, we still meet obstacles in being admitted to professional schools. A coed has to be twice as competent to gain the recognition readily given to the male student. (Ask any girl who has applied for the position of editor of the school paper or president of the student body.)

But our fraternities belong to us, as women. They were among our first expressions of independence from the male-dominated world of education.

They met a crying need for friendship and identity. Then, as now, they were t he one place on campus where women students could join together as women to make their own decisions and enjoy their own creative endeavors.

Regardless of your opinions on women's liberation- whether you think the proponents are right or wrong-the fact remains that women's fraternities were created to give women students a status of their own on the campus where they could compete on an equal basis, and enjoy companionship without the intrusion of the tradition of catering to the opinions or favor of the male.

Call it female chauvinism if you will. But some things are better when they remain the same.

Mail to : Maxine Stevens 2534 Yorktown , #A-70 Houston, Texas 77027

WHAT EVERY ALUMNA SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ALUMNAE ORGANIZATION WHY HAVE ALUMNAE CHAPTERS? An Alumnae Chapter gives you , as an AST, the opportunity to keep in contact with your chapter, continue and expand the friend sh ips of sisters all over the world , to be better informed about AST and the Greek world , to serve AST and make membership poss ible for future generations, and to work and be involved with sisters who share your ideals and purposes .

WHO MAY BELONG? An initiated member of Alpha Sigma Tau who is no longer a college student.

WHAT IS A CHARTERED ALUMNAE CHAPTER? A Chartered Alumnae Chapter is one in which a minimum of seven alumnae members have petitioned to become a Chartered Alumnae Chapter.

HOW ARE THEY ORGANIZED? 1. Upon request the National Alumnae Chairman will send a list of life members living in your area . Requests should li st zip codes in the area. Contact these members for an organization meeting and elect officers .

2. Send a list of officers , members wishing to organize , and a petition requesting to become a chartered alumnae chapter to the National President and District President.

3. The District President or someone appointed by her will install the alumnae chapter. The chapter may begin operating as soon as their charter request has been approved , even though the installation may be delayed.

WHY BE A CHARTERED ALUMNAE CHAPTER? Obtaining a charter is an acknowledgement of your continued interest in perpetuating the values and high ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau .

HOW DO YOU GET NEW MEMBERS? Your National Alumnae Chairman will advise you of new alumnae moving to your area . You should invite the new alumnae to your meetings. Invite the graduating seniors in your area to join your chapter. Encourage them to not only come, but to take an active part.

Alums Lose Two; Gain By Visit of Margaret McDonald Nora Judisch (Omicron) was hostess for the March luncheon meeting in Canton at Imperial House. Plans were made for the April meeting and the white elephant sale.

Margaret MacDonald, national treasurer, visited Akron-Canton Alumnae in April at beautiful Silver Lake Country Club with Louise Smith (Omicron) as hostess. After a delicious luncheon, the discussion turned to trends in sorority activities, how alumnae can help expansion and related matters. Miss Macdonald's devotion to Alpha Sigma Tau and long service to it are evident in her knowledge and enthusiasm for future progress.

Martha Krause (Zeta) will soon be moving to North Carolina. The annual white elephant sale was held during the May meeting at her home in Hudson.

Martha has served ably as our treasurer, and we shall miss her greatly. She added verve and originality to our meetings.

Su McBee (Eta) was hostess June 2 when Akron-Canton Alumnae had a covered-dish luncheon in honor of Eleanor Halas (Delta) who is moving soon to Boca Raton, Florida. Eleanor has retired with a distinguished record as music teacher and supervisor as well as national music chairman of Alpha Sigma Tau. Highlights of her career were related and mementos exhibited.

The following officers were installed for the coming year; President Kay Kendall, Recording Secretary Helen Wick, Treasurer Geneva Wood, Chaplain Barbara Gordon, Vice President Thelma Eggleston, Corresponding Secretary Louise Smith, Historian Nora J udisch, Editor Thelma Eggleston.

Our February meeting was held at the home of Norma Martin who provided coffee and a delicious dessert. The business meeting was followed by a white elephant sale. Later in the month a fashion show by Bee Line Fashions took place at the Erie County Savings Bank.

The fashion show was followed by cards and dessert.

The regular March meeting was held at the home of Karen Howard. The program for the evening was informative with Mrs. Francis C. Hefner of the Association of Retarded Children speaking.

A bouquet of yellow roses to Noreen Buckley for her organization of the spring luncheon in April. This year it was a mother and daughter affair held at the Ground Round Restaurant. A good time was had by all from the youngest to the oldest. The end of April was the 9th annual Kinder Koncert at Kleinhan's Music Hall sponsored by the Buffalo City Panhellenic. Saint Saens' "Carnival of Animals" and Stravinskys' "Firebird" were featured. An added feature was larger than life animals. Students from the Buffalo State Art Department made the costumes and the college Eclectic Dance Company wore them.

May took us to the home of Mary Bowker for the election and installation of officers. Next year's officers are Lois Ann Dryer, president; Marilyn Helmrath, vice-president; Janet Bartlett, recording secretary; Noreen Buckley, corresponding secretary; Dolores Schmi?t, treasurer; Helene Blackledge, chaplam ; Edith Eckert, editor and Sharon Wetzel, historian.

SpringAt A Feverish Pace Spring housecleaning was something to look forward to after our February meeting. Mary Franzen Clark was hostess and invited an interior decorator to discuss problems in interior decorating.

After the presentation and question and answers, everyone had more enthusiasm for cleaning AND re-decorating.

Barb Davis put us to work in March making puzzles from magazine pictures mounted on cardboard. These were distributed to Children's Hospital as part of our social service program. Mounting the pictures was no problem, the difficult part came in determining how to cut the pieces.

The dinner-dance again brought together the four metropolitan chapters.

The evening provided the opportunity to renew acquaintances, greet husbands again during the sumptuous meal. The music was really to dance to--whether the generation was new or older. A special raffle enlivened the evening and when midnight rolled around, the April fooling caught many off guard.

Friday the thirteenth was a lucky one for Detroit I in April. The new slate of officers was elected and produced a combination of new and experienced officers which promises to continue the efficient operation. Barb Koscierzynski took time from her busy schedule of graduate work, teaching, and editor to act as hostess.

Spring brings out the flowers that have been dormant during the winter and it also brings to the spring luncheon many sisters who become active as the weather and driving conditions are better. This noon in mid-May we welcomed new alumnae and had a great time catching up and adding to our information of everyone's activities.

Our season ended with a splash and this year we really did enjoy our elve ANCHOR

with a pre-meeting swim in Marsha Ewart's 80° pool.

Several Theta Alumnae joined in celebrating Theta's 50th anniversary at a dinner on campus. Highlight of the event was Juanita Bouffard's presentation of the silver punch bowl and tray which the National Council gave to the chapter as its anniversary gift.

~Edwardsville ...

Enthusiastic Beginning January 24, 1973 is a day to remember for the new Edwardsville Alumnae Chapter. That day was our first, organizational meeting, held at the home of Jeanne Brunworth. Our major accomplishment was the election of officers for the coming year.

The following month marked formal induction ceremonies on the SIU campus as Edwardsville became an official Alumnae Chapter. Mrs. Carol Blazicek, National Vice President, conducted the initiation.

Since that time we have held monthly business meetings at the homes of various members. Our first social event, a wine and cheese tasting party was hosted

by Marcia Tennhill and proved to be a great success.

Our future plans include a Tupperware party scheduled for the. last wee~. of June. This will be our initial fund-ra1smg project. We are also planning for the sale of assorted decorator candles.

Edwardsville Alumnae are pleased to join the many other alumnae chapters and look forward to a future of growth and increased involvement and activity.

February lOth found Kirksville alumnae presenting a history of Alpha Sigma Chapter's colonization five years earlier as collegiates and alumnae gathered to celebrate on the N.M.S .U. campus.

The next event to bring our alumnae together was the collegiate's Yellow Rose Formal. The theme this year was "Tam·a" and collegiates and alumnae alike found the plantation atmosphere delightful.

April 28th again found alumnae gathering in Kirksville-no small feat since members are scattered in a 250 mile radius of the city. The cause of celebration was a banquet marking the installation of Alpha Sigma Chapter on April 28, 1968. Activities included the activation of two pledges and three members of the Alpha Psi Colony followed by initiation of twelve girls into our alumnae chapter.

After a short business meeting everyone gathered at the Bonfoey Inn for a lovely banquet and program arranged by the collegiates. We were especially pleased to have a guest, Carol Blazicek, National Vice President of District V, with us for the evening.

because we worked hard; fun, because overall that's what we do best; and food , because somehow we just can't seem to get away from it.

The New Year found us gathering at the home of Jean Shields (goody-dessert) on January 20. This was specifically designated as a business-pull-together-looseends meeting. One matter of great importance was a brand new list of all ASTers living in this area who are eligible for an alumnae chapter. Nancy Creekmore accomplished this undertaking and several members took pages in order to call the prospective members for our monthly meeting.

February brought us to Portsmouth to the home of Anne Creekmore (more dessert). We voted to award $25.00 to the Virginia chapter maintaining the highest scholastic average for 1972-73. We hope that this will serve as an extra incentive to maintain high scholarship. A representative of Bee-Line Fashions then presented a show of new spring fashions, complete with our own perfect measurement models. The profit from this helped our social service project.

Our garage sale on Saturday-Sunday, March 17-18, served as our meeting. It was held in Robbie Cool's garage, with members working in two-hour shifts. Proceeds from this also went to our social service project and a newly begun convention fund .

On April 14, we were at Linda Johnson's (dessert, of course) in Virginia Beach. Mrs. Lorraine Pledger, supervisor of Holiday House, a home-school for mentally retarded and brain-damaged children, spoke to us concerning the functions of the House and uses to which our contribution as social service would be put. An important item is that each monetary contribution is matched by the state. We also discussed an appeal from Psi Chapter and voted to supply them with formal AST napkins. Goody boxes for exams will be sent to each of the three chapters.

Our May meeting was held early at Sandra De Foras' in order to attend the Panhellenic luncheon the following week at Three Ships Inn (food)! We initiated ANCHOR

The Roanoke Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau were kept quite busy this past year with many different projects. Starting in the Fall we sent toiletries to the Roanoke City inmates in jail. For Founders' Day in November we went to Radford College and celebrated with the collegiate members at their banquet. For a Christmas project we made Christmas candleholders for gifts. We sent goodie boxes filled with candies and cookies to Longwood, Madison, and Radford College. Jeannie Teass, one of our members who is head of the Radford College Alumni Association, moved to Texas and we gave her a little party. In February we had a speaker come and demonstrate how to make Decal-It plaques. At our following meeting we made the plaques ourselves.

In March we invited the Radford College collegiate chapter to the home of our president Carol Caroll. We exchanged many ideas and had a delightful time. For Easter the AST Alums of Roanoke gave an Easter party with the Roanoke P anhellenic. There was a magician, refreshments, and Bunny Easter baskets which

February found us at the home of Fran Jeffrey in Falls Church. This was an exciting evening with a pot luck dinner together with our husbands and dates. The evening proved to be a great success as our husbands and members exchanged ideas socially.

March winds took us to the home of Sue Carper in Springfield with Cathy Schriener as co-hostess. The spring picture raffle was held as a money-making project. We were entertained by a representative from the Washington Gas Company who talked to us on wine cookery.

We have also decided to collect old paint brushes to send to Psi Chapter at Madison College for their pledge classes.

Joyce Geitz was our hostess in April.

At this meeting we had a social evening with the Prince Georges-Montgomery Alumnae Chapter. We all had a delightful time talking with old friends .

We traveled to Fairfax in May to the home of our president, Ellie Cammer. We initiated two new members- Beth James 56

and Katherine Fondwa. We are very happy to receive these new members ~nd hope they will enjoy their new lasting friendships. We are looking forward to the June meeting when we initiate our new officers.

Chinese Auction - Lots of Fun and Profitable Nineteen members came loaded down with their treasures in the January meeting at Claire Jenkins' home. Mabel Schreiber was completely worn out after conducting a lively Chinese Auction but very happy with the amount we had taken in for the sorority's benefit.

The energetic members of our group met for dinner in February. They then proceeded with their husbands to an evening of square dancing. Jean Goldman and Ruth Young had made all the arrangements. From all reports, everybody had a grand time but felt a few sore spots from some unused muscles.

We went traveling to Ridley Park for our March meeting at Becky Rook's home. Becky had been ill all week, but being the good sorority sister she is, she just would not cancel her date with us.

We had hoped to initiate the graduating seniors from West Chester and Widener, but our plans went astray as none of the girls were able to come.

April 14th found fifteen of us on our way to Bristol to visit the Grundy Museum. It formerly was the home of Mr. Grundy. He left it to the people of Bristol along with seventeen million dollars. The townspeople use the interest from this legacy to maintain the home. They have also been able to build an ice skating rink and parking lot.

Egg Harbor, New Jersey, was our de tination on May 12. We always need food to prepare us for our visitation so after a delicious lunch we proceeded to the ReA CHOR

nault Winery for an interesting visit.

After a da_y of travel we wended our way to our vanous homes with the realization we have had a great year and are looking forward to next year with Margaret Jones as our new president.

Husbands Join In Cook Out In January, our husbands joined us for a scrumptious buffet dinner at the Garland Theatre in Columbia, Maryland.

Then we enjoyed the play, "Lovers and Other Strangers."

Our February meeting was held at the home of Karen Stear. After a short business meeting, we enjoyed various card games including bridge.

In March we all enjoyed a wine and cheese party at the home of our president Pat Linton. Many different cheeses wer~ served, along with the wines which complimented them. Our husbands enjoyed the evening with us.

In April, we met with the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter for a dessert social at the home of Joyce Geitz in McLean, Virginia.

Our officers are: Geraldine Bro~lio, president; Betty Wilder, vicepresident; Sharon Hylton, recording secretary; Ellen Kelley, corresponding secretary; Jo Ann Solomon, treasurer; Virginia Richter, historian-editor; Carolyn Morris, chaplain.

The Richmond - Petersburg Alumnae Chapter continued its spring calendar with a variety of social activities and interesting meetings. In February, members and their husbands or dates enjoyed the play "Champagne Complex" at the 3200 Playhouse. In March, we tested our gourmet talents with a testing supper at the home of Patty Adkins. The topic was ESP at our April meeting hostessed by Carol Eubank. Mrs. Ann Matthews talked of her ~xperie~ces with ESP to a very attentive audience. Our very active year was concluded with a picnic attended by the members and their husbands or dates a~ ~~e home _of Ann Sangston. Spring actiVIties also mcluded the election of new officers.

The chapter continued to keep in contact with collegiate chapters. Our contribution helped the Psi chapter at Madison College purchase rush supplies for spring rush.

Social service chairman Patsy Sours found an interesting project for spring.

The project involved buying art supplies for a mentally retarded boy who is a talented artist. With our help we hope he can continue his painting.

Alumnae Train Nearing its Destination Program Meeting In January the train stopped at the A Joint Effort home of Linda Schaefer. There weren't many passengers getting off for this stop but lots of business was done.

The next stop was made in February at the meeting room of a local savings and loan. Maxine Graflege displayed and talked about her hobby, painting.

The March stop was for entertainment and fund-raising. Thus the train stopped for a theatre party to benefit the emotionally disturbed classes of St. Louis.

The play put on by amateur theatre players was "Guys & Dolls". We had a pre-play cocktail party as an added treat especially for the St. Patrick's evening.

The April stop was a meeting in the garden of the Robert Campbell House, restored home of an early fur trapper.

In May the train made its final stop at Pat Hoffelder's home. All the passengers got off for the annual meeting and an Italian pot luck supper.

Initiation and installation of new officers was held. The new officers are: Linda Schaefer, president; Melanie Foster, vicepresident; Janet Ulrich, recording secretary; Debbie Woerges, corresponding secretary; Shirley Bird, treasurer; Maureen Gaffigan, chaplain; and Ruth Kiburz, editor.

Barbara Maxwell's home was quite a busy place in January when we gathered to work on our local social service project.

We made and stuffed wash cloth pillows for use at the Special Education Center at Pikeside in Berkeley County. Barbara announced later that they were greatly appreciated by the staff and students.

In response to the appeal for contributions of funds toward the National Headquarters, we made two contributions in memory of two deceased members, Helen K. Daniels and Evelyn Ellis.

Our money making project for the year was in the form of a Curiosity Calendar.

We found this project to be very successful and one in which each member can participate.

Mrs. Jan Skidmore, a guest in February, presented a most interesting demonstration on the art of decoupage . She aroused such an interest that some of our girls were planning to try it.

Our joint program meeting with Chi Chapter on the Shepherd College Campus took place in March. A native West Virginian, Dr. J. B. Thomas, now a professor 7. Shepherdstown Sewing Session for Washcloth Pillows: Mary Hodges . Ann Simpson.

Judy Cushwa .

in the social science department at Shepherd gave a most interesting talk on the Peace Corps, and particularly his experiences as a member from 1963-65. Since the Chis provided the program, we provide the refreshments, thus making it a joint effort. We always enjoy our get-togethers with the Chis.

We met with them again in April to help celebrate with the Patroness Party and to initiate six seniors into our group.

The six were Karen Anderson, Kristie Grimes, Lisa Franzen, Karen Oliff, Nancy Miller, and Mary Whittington.

Mrs. Charles Cathcart, who is moving to Maryland, was presented a special yellow rose by the alumnae for her service as a patroness for the Chi Chapter.

In May we welcomed two more girls into our group, Mrs. Diana Hutzler and Miss Roxanne Roach. We are looking forward to seeing all of them again in September when we start off another busy and fulfilling year.

~ Tri-City . . .

Sports Spark Sisters A professional hockey game for TriCity Taus and their spouses started the year off with a sporty spirit with spectating in Saginaw's new Civic Center. A fraternizing fondue party after the game brought a dozen couples together from as far away as Mt. Pleasant with Margo (Helber) and Wally Link and Marilyn (Crawley) and Bart LaBelle, and from Rochester Mary (Petoskey) and George Ford. Fran (Steiner) and Ken Siems were the gracious hosts of a winning evening although the Saginaw Gears lost.

Another part of the Civic Center complex was visited by a group of YWCA Fun Club girls and alums when we viewed a ballet performed by and for young people, " The Snow Queen" at the Heritage Theater. Serving on the board for this type of entertainment is Nancy (Mott) Hanson. Our community is being served by many of our members. Eileen ANCHOR

(Goetz) Hamilton is the area co-ordinator of the Cystic Fibrosis Drive. She also is a Junior League contributor as are Nancy and Fran. Eileen will be our new leader as president for the next two years.

(Lucky us!) .

Golf was the next sport to attract everyone in the Tri-City area in the form of the Junior League Exhibition of golf with Jack Nicklaus and Laura Baugh.

Our girls served the many committees necessary to making it one of the greatest sports attractions to come our way.

Many Taus are "in on the action" when representing us in Panhellenic Societies, in Midland by Roni (Gacek) Bailey and in Saginaw by Rosalie (Borsenik) McFall, a past president of City Panhellenic, Marilyn (PIERCE) Halstead, Fran Seims and Jacquie (Cole) Willman who is chai rman of the scholarship board this year. We are very proud of our girls' endeavors in civic, social and sorority affairs.

The Elks and Germania Clubs were recipients of the synchronized talents in their spring shows of Roni Bailey and Carla (Almquist) Young. Serving in many capacities of these organizations, they have the opportunity to host affairs at their clubs. The January style show at the Germania in Saginaw saw seven for lunch and a business meeting. The Midland Elks Club and/ or Hickory House was the scene of the spring banquet preceding installation at Roni's. New officers include: Eileen Hamilton, president; Judy (Kaiser) Dean, vice-president; Jean Eadie, treasurer; Marilyn Halstead, recording secretary ; Fran Siems, corresponding secretary; Roni Bailey, historian; Carla Young, chaplain ; Jacquie Willman, editor. Planning for our traditional banquet was done by Jean Eadie who also lends herself to the task of secretary for vacationing employees of Dow Chemical Company.

The Midland Golf and Country Club was utilized by member Judy Dean who hosted a luncheon meeting and visit with District I Vice-President Juanita Bouffard and several Tri-City members. Judy, past president, is kept very busy between trips to a new condominium in Florida 59

and going to Mt. Pleasant for initiation of graduating seniors into the alumnae chapter and helping Betas. Helping them organize in their new apartment complex has been a concern for all, and along with the generous contribution from Flint alums, a new vacuum was well received.

Judy's garage was the location of a successful sale of rummage and enabled us to make social service contributions to Pine Mountain, Saginaw's Fun Club and start a convention fund. Thanks to a president who was always present whenever and wherever it counted.

Pilgrimage with Pat Boone On April 4-12 our vivacious past-president, Ann Chalmers was a member of the largest Christian group to have ever visited the Holy Land.

The tour was sponsored to assist the Holy Christian Mission on Mt. David in Bethlehem. The Mission has an orphanage and a crippled children's hospital.

Pat Boone, his wife and four daughters accompanied the tour. He taped a T.V. special in the Old City of Jerusalem which is to be televised in the fall.

Some of the many adventures Ann participated in was the planting of over 400 trees near Nazareth, the meeting of Mayor Kollek, and an airplane trip over the Dead Sea. Carolyn Burlew and Florence Borgnis were invited to become members of Delta Kappa Gamma, the international educational sorority. They attended a banquet at the Holiday Inn in Dover. All chapters attended the banquet, to install the newly appointed members.

A joint sorority exchange meeting was held in Newark. Our hostess was Alpha Sigma Alpha, and Kappa Delta entertained. A vast variety of desserts was pre-

60

pared for all. Recipes were duplicated for sharing. Games were played which involved the personalities and varied interests of those in attendance. An enjoyable evening was had by all.

Our newly elected officers for 1973-1974 and their collegiate chapters are as follows: President Sheila McBride (Theta), Vice-President Carolyn Burlew (Alpha Lambda) , Corresponding Secretary Florence Borgnis (Chi) , Recording Secretary Ann Chalmers (Lambda) , Treasurer Nancy Davies (Delta) , Chaplain Maxine Waegal (Iota) , Historian Ellen Iten (Sigma) , Editor Joan Vannatta (Alpha Xi).

Our First Year We began the New Year at the home of Carol Creps. A cozy evening in front of the fireplace with lots of fireside chat and a delicious dessert climaxed our meeting.

Plans for our fund raising project were made at the home of Sherri Remias. It was decided that we would have a raffle to mutually benefit our treasury and our social service project.

Our March hostess was Eileen Pustay.

During this meeting a good time was had by all preparing Easter baskets for the Mahoning County School for the Retarded.

Debbi Eckenrode's apartment was the scene of our next meeting. Here we finalized plans for our money making project and enjoyed conversation and dessert.

In May our senior initiation was held at the sorority house. We are happy to welcome Wendy Sammarone Debbie ~underlich, Sue Alexander, C~thy Carme and Mrs. Einstein, our former faculty advisor, into our alumnae.

~Ypsilanti­ Ann Arbor • • • It's Not All Fun and Games No, sorority life is a mixture of work and play we have found out as we continued through our year. The work was definitely cut out for us as we gathered in February to set our goals and form our committees to help revive Alpha Sigma Tau on the campus of Eastern Michigan University. With the help of Juanita Bouffard, the collegiate girls, Mrs. Soley, and the members of the alumnae chapter we began our advertising campaign. Many envelopes of information were stuffed to be distributed on campus, posters were made, and we personally made telephone calls to prospective sorority girls.

Our efforts proved quite successful as we now have a group of fifteen girls wishing to activate the Alpha Chapter on campus. We did not stop here, however, but were on campus with literature and Ypsilanti- Ann Arbor Valentine Party: Debbie Duran .

plans to talk with other girls during freshman orientation in August.

In March we took a li ttle time out for some fun as we brought our husbands along to the home of Richard and Lurlene Weinberg and enjoyed shuffleboard, table hockey, and bridge in their beautiful recreation room.

Founder's Day was celebrated in April at the Fireside Lounge in Ann Arbor. The evening was hi ghlighted as the graduating seniors from Alpha Chapter were initiated as alumnae. Congratulations girls!

Marilyn Christy's new home welcomed us in May as we discussed our Mother's Day luncheon plans and nominated new officers for next year.

The Mother's Day luncheon was very delightful at Win Schuler's in Ann Arbor.

The food was excellent and we had a very large turn-out. Margaret Endahl was our guest speaker and she gave us a delightful demonstration of her work in ceramics and china painting. Some very lucky mothers went home with some of her work as prizes. We were especially pleased to have with us Mrs. Wanda Bates, a very special mother to many of us. She served as advisor to us for many of those fifty years that she has been affiliated with Alpha Sigma Tau. We were indeed pleased to see in the last Anchor that she has received her fifty year certificate in recognition of her faithful service to Alpha Sigma Tau. We are so proud of her work with us and we are equally proud to see so many other Alpha fifty year members honored.

In June we gathered our notebooks and our pot luck dish and drove out to the home of Faye Mitchell on Lake St. Clair to exchange ideas for next year. Our new officers were installed and they are: President Joan Meaker, Vice-President Sharon Tucker, Corresponding Secretary Joyce Berg, Recording Secretary Donna Stevens, Chaplain Sally Pearson, Editor Joyce Berg, Historian Sandra Meaker, Panhellenic Representative Joan Carpenter and Mariane South, Advisory Board : Joan Meaker, Sharon Tucker and Joan Carpenter.
