1979 Fall ANCHOR

Od.i!or's Garner Adopt a Mascot and Flag for Alpha Sigma Tau Members of the National Staff challenge each of you to help select a " mascot" or symbol unique to any other National Panhellenic Conference Sorority . As you know , oth er sororities use the owl, the turtle, the rose, the anchor, etc. So tax your minds to find an item o r symbol which would somehow tie into the purpose and ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau. Remember, your presentation, originality, and cleverness will have a great deal o f influence.

Here is a rather general idea: I think the cardinal should beAST's national mascot because its vibran t colors and regal characteristics remind me o f th e vibrant individuals of AST and their imperial standards.

Alice Simons Tawe 500 Sorority Drive Ypsilanti, Michigan 48223

Join in the Fun!

At the 23rd National Convention in Pittsburgh!

Alpha Sigma Tau is very proud to have chosen Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania. as the site for the 1980 National Convention. July 3-7. It is the 23rd National Convention of the sorority and will be a convention you won't want to miss.

Pittsburgh is certainly an impressive city. To most of the nation. "Pittsburgh " suggests steel red hot from the furnace. the tense luxury of executive suites. or braces of barges easing up the Ohio River.

Of the ten largest population centers in the country, Pittsburgh ranks ninth. with a metropolitan population of 2.500.000. But on an invested capital basis. Pittsburgh ranks second only to New York.

In the Golden Triangle. the business heart of Pittsburgh . people work . live. shop. attend colleges. enjoy sports events and a variety of day and evening entertainments. The city seems compact in size and a person may reach any point of importance downtown by walking , if he 2

wishes. A person may shop or choose to dine in one of a variety of fine restaurants. some with magnificent views of the city. The city is covered with lovely places to rest- parks. plazas. or benches by the three rivers.

Pittsburgh offers many local points of interest.

One might enjoy the views from high atop Mt. Washington or enjoy Point State Park where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio. A visitor might want to cruise on the Gateway Clipper or relax in one of the city 's many famous meseums. There are several famous universities such as the University of Pittsburgh or Duquesne. You may even want to ride one of the inclines or have fun at an amusement park.

Whatever interests you might have. Pittsburgh has tremendous rewards for you. The sights are too numerous to mention. Start now to plan a wonderful vacation for 1980 around the con ention dates. It will be a treat for the entire famil .

National Elections at Convention Many convention goers are aware that our national conventions are scheduled with practically aroundthe-clock meetings and activities covering virtually every phase of Alpha Sigma Tau. One of the most important meetings at the Twenty-Third National Convention in July 1980 will be that of the Nominating Committee. The object of this committee is to insure the continued success and growth of our Sorority by reviewing all recommendations and offering the best possible slate of candidates for the delegates' consideration. Nominations. of course. will also be accepted from the floor.

Every two years at convention. one half of the National Council . District Presidents . and National Chairmen are elected or appointed to a four year term. This system of staggering the terms of office has worked well in assuring that not all of these positions are filled at one time by sisters new to their responsibility. Those who are elected or appointed to serve for their first term will be eligible to serve for a second four-year term. All present officers with the exception of Mrs. King. whose positions are up for election. are serving their first term and are eligible for nomination for one more four-year term .

It is our hope that you will actively participate in providing recommendat ions for qualified candi-

dates in the positions listed below. Also. if you are interested. feel you are qualified and have the time to devote to an office. you are certainly encouraged to submit your own name which will be given equal consideration. As a collegiate or alumna sister. it is a responsibility and privilege we all share in working towards the 1980 election goals.

Please refer to The National Constitution Bylaws (pp.

6-8) to acquaint yourself with the responsibilities of these positions; The National Handbook also offers detailed explanations. If you have any questions. you may consult one of the committee members listed below : Mrs. Robert Alexander. 1112 East Maple. Sterling. VA 22170 Miss Martee Buchanan . 1022 Downey Street. Radford.

Temples and tombs of early kings abound in the cities in the midst of b usy markets. The Red Fort dating from the 11th century in New Delhi is inhabited by ma ny fa milies on the upper floors. Shops open on the first floor courtyard. Of course the most famous tomb is the Taj Mahal at Agra near New Delhi. It must be seen to b e comp letely appreciated because the rosy glow of the marb le at sunrise or the sheen of the marble in moonlight c a nnot b e reproduced.

Raudat Tahera in Bombay. is a tomb and mosque second only to the Taj Mahal. lt. too. is completely marble inside and out. a beautiful clear white marble.

Written in gold Arab ic script from floor to ceiling is the Koran. To read the top script. opera glasses are needed. The title of each section is outlined in jewels; rubies. diamonds. emeralds- each the contribution of a family. Great crystal chandeliers shed a glittering light. This gold. crystal. marble. and jewels have been used in the ediface . not out of pomp and extravagance. but out of love for the Creator of the Universe and filial devotion to his late Holiness Dr. Syedna To her Saifuddin. a humble votary who espoused the cause of Islam in India and abroad and rendered a true interpretation of the Prophet's teachings.

The trip was under the auspices of Kent State University and PI Lambda Theta. Department of Comparative Education. so our main interest was education in India. We visited private schools. usually founded by

missionaries from the British Isles. and public schools at the elementary, secondary, and university level. Patterned after the British model. the syllabus or curriculum is academic. English is taught from grade five. or Forms as they are called. Progress in school is achieved by passing examinations set by the government. Maintaining discipline is the duty of " proctors " as in the English public school system. Students were divided into " Houses" consisting of students at various levels in the school. A " House" spirit is encouraged by competition in sports . debate. etc. Displayed by a different House each week were excellent bulletin boards of world events. Morning Assembly was military in organization. What was true in every school we visited was large classes. up to sixty in Nepal. few texts. few and tattered library books. no audio-visual aids. and scanty science equpiment.

The teacher presented the lesson. as in mathematics or science. students kept notebooks which were graded periodically. Al l preparations are done at home. Younger children do a great deal of oral learning. Discipline is perfect; the passivity of the Hindu is probably a contributing factor. Parents are held strictly accountable for the behavior of their children.

All physical education such as games and sports to e place after school. Native dances and music. ho ever. are taught during the school do .

valiant efforts to make education compulsory.

Women teachers sent to the villages are sometimes raped so they are afraid to go which is a great deterrant to rural education!

Overpopulation contributes to the problems of education. social progress . and food supply. The Sikh farmers produce three crops a year and their yields compare favorably with farmers all over the world. But the galloping population makes it difficult for the food supply to keep up with the yearly increase. 55,000 are homeless in Calcutta and live on the streets. Although the government feeds beggars. they are everywhere.

It is against the law to give them money but they opportune one at every turn.

The government is making heroic efforts to curb population. Huge signs are seen all over-the ideal family, mother. father. and two children. Clinics are established but illiterate women without calendars find it difficult to follow a regimen of pills. Vasectomies are rewarded but the whole campaign up to this point has proven ineffectual. Scientists are now workIng on a shot that can be administered once a year.

The Sikhs are industrious and intelligent. Distinctive because of their turban and beard, they drive the buses. our driver had an A.B. in Economics . they make impressive doormen at the hotels. they teach. and a particularly fierce looking one wields a spatula at the hamburger grill in the hotel coffee shop.

was a Sikh. Trained as a teacher. his Eng lish is impeccable. The Sikhs gained fame as sold iers in the British Army.

Although Colonialism is a bad word a nd native peoples mutter about exp loitation, many Eng lishmen undoubtedly made a good thing out of business interests in India . as attested b y the magnifica nt British hotels they b uilt for themselves a ll over Ind ia- marble bathrooms , dressing room. vast bedrooms with sitting room and marble corridors. The British d id g ive India a common language in p la c e of hundreds of d ia lects. an effi cient rail system . hospitals. fine bridges. a knowledge of democ racy, a posta l system. a nd sc hools. British mil ls did manufa cture Ind ia n cotton cloth. The Tatro mills in Bombay, which we visited makes an inferior type of c otton cloth. Our Ind ia n Driver told us Indian textiles fade in the sun a nd much cotton goods is still imported. More technica l know how needs to be developed in many areas -the manufacture of c ars for instance. Sma ll Britich c a rs are seen everywhere.

For an amusing and sympathetic insig ht into the Indian c harac ter - an Eng lishma n named Henry Raymond Fitzwalter Keating has written a d elightful series of mysteries featuring Inspector Ghote of the Bombay police fo rce.

A sister is a girl who' ll stand up for you , stand with you, and stand in place of you.

She'll go out on a limb, out to eat, and out of her way for you.

She' ll help you with your homework, help you type your paper, and help you hang posters.

She' ll borrow your records, your money, and your shoes.

She'll teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to laugh, and how to love.

She'll listen to your life and sympathize; she'll listen to your jokes and laugh .

She'll listen.

She knows when to be silent, and when to speak.

She'll sometimes need a ride to the bank, a place to sleep, or a shoulder to cry o n.

She' ll be solemn and rowdy, sophisticated and crude.

She' s got the heart of a lion , the patience of a saint, the soul of an angel, and th e spitfire o f a devil.

Sh e' s in your class, and at your party.

She' s in yo ur life.

She' s a friend you can co unt on .

Dear Alpha Sigma Tau girl that sister is you.

THE AN H R

Alpha Sigma Tau's Policy on Alcoholic Beverages

Alpha S igma Tau Is responsi ble for s trictly observing college and s tate regulations re garding the use of alcoholic beverages.

Alpha Sigma Tau believes that membership selection is a process requiring clear and unimpaired thinking on the part of both rushees and chapters and should be based on the ideals of th e Sorority rather than on external influences; the selection process which leads to a lifetime commitment should not be influenced by the serving of alcoholic beverages; therefore, Alpha Sigma Tau prohibits the use of alcoholic beverages at any rushing activity.

Alpha Sigma Tau feels it is inappropriate for an Alpha Sigma Tau pledge or initiated member to be as sociated with or participate in a situation, function or activity in which the abuse of alcohol is the outstandingly noticeable exertion; no Alpha Sigma Tau insignia or associated symbol of the Sorority shall appear at any activity or function in which th e abuse of alcohol is the outstandingly noticeable exertion .

... and Hazing The practice of hazing is detrimental to the basic human rights of the individual ; it is als o detrimental to the rush programs and to the pledge programs of the fraternity s ys tem and , therefore , must be abolished .

H azing must be abolished to protect the individuals, values, purposes , ideals, and the growth of Alpha Sigma Tau and the entire Greek System.

H azing is co nsidered to be any act, action , intention , creation of a situation , or allusion to such which can be in terpreted by any person as detrimental in any manner to the individual, to the Sorority, or to the Greek System .

Adopted by the National Council of Alpha Sigma Tau Birmingham, Alabama July 4, 1 979

Go AST for Permanent Head<

-------~~

Alpha Sigma Tau is going places. We're growing in membership and our chapters are expanding. That's Tau-rrific!

Our growth has led us down a road closer to the dreams of many members that Alpha Sigma Tau would someday own a headquarters that would become as permanent as its traditions and ideals. At the annual National Council meeting in July the decision was made that the time had come to make a permanent home for Alpha Sigma Tau Central Office a reality.

With this in mind, the National Council has proposed an Alpha Sigma Tau National Headquarters Fund Drive. The goal is $80,000 to commemorate our 80th birthday, November 4, 1979. To achieve our goal we need the support and contributions of each collegian and alumna.

Ideally, if every sister could give $10, we could meet this figure before 1980. Maybe your chapter would like to set a goal to be met with the aid of a fundraiser .

If you choose, you may make your contribution in memory of a deceased sister or in honor of a living one. For the duration of the dri e, acknowledgement of all donations will appear the THE ANCHOR. Will your name be on the list?

Chapter News Alpha District Best Wishes from Beta The Beta Chapter at Central Michigan returned to Mt. Pleasant in January with an interesting semester ahead of them. It all started with Rush under the directio n of Lori Ennis who did a super job, and it ended with 13 fantastic pledges.

Beta pledges received the ir big brothers from the Sigma Phi Epsilo n Fraternity. Besides having o ur usual fraternity parties which have been keeping us busy we had many other activities.

Regio nal day was held in March and with the great planning by Kathy Clayson it was a success.

We had Theta sisters up and also a national officer and various me mbers from alum chapters around our region. We would again like to thank all those who attended.

In Fe bruary the Betas had their annual Alumnae Weeke nd. Many alums came up for a pot luck dinner and a reunion with the sisters.

Our Yellow Rose formal was held April 7, at the Detroit Airport Hilto n Inn. Those attending danced to disco music after a delicio us Italian dinner. It was the last chance for all of us to get away from school before th e end o f the semester.

Greek Week started here at Central on April 22 and will run through the 29th. AST' s were out in full force with a first in the track meet and a second in swim . We also did great in many other Greek Week events.

The Betas have many exciting individual happenings. First, we would like to congratulate Karen Jo hnson for being named To p Tau . We would also like to congratulate our president, Karen Ho rner who will be married this coming July and wish her the best for the future. Many alums are getting married this summer a nd we wish them much happiness too.

That's all the Beta news for now. Best wishes to all AST' s.

Spring With Theta The Thetas of Wayne State University had a busy winter break. The sisters got together with the Alumnae o f Detroit I and III for a Christmas dessert party. Everyone brought a differe nt de sert and had a lot of fun sampli ng th e delicious goodies .

Ev ryone enjoyed bringing a hom made ornament for the hristmas tree.

28

Thetas also honored their Big Brothers at Valentine's Day with a spaghetti dinner.

The beginning of spring quarter brought new officers to Theta. Teri Meyette, a junior majoring in Russian, is the new chapter president, succeeding Laura Luc, who is graduating. New vice-president is Kathy Bernardelli. Other executive board members are Kathy Wilson, treasurer, and Debbie Lucas , recording secretary.

This year Thetas participated in several social service projects. Two of these were for a home for exceptional children. Sisters demonstrated their sewing skills by making bibs with letters of the a lphabet on them . Shirts for the children to wear when painting were also made.

Thetas are in the midst of a busy spring quarter.

Mixers and co-sponsored parties are planned with several fraternities . The annual ice cream social, where Thetas get together with alumni , is coming up. Practice is starting for Greek Sing. Sisters are also busily selling candy as a fund-raise r to alleviate the cost of dinner dance.

As spring quarter closes the chapter is planning a Grad Night for departing seniors. The graduating seniors are Laura Luc , Karen Hurley , Cindy Zylinski, and Carol Tverberg. Good luck to them and to all graduating seniors!

Beta District Alpha Omicron Celebrates Spring Beginning the year with a fresh approach, rush chairman Janet Schmincke masterminded a new theme for the forma l party: The Roaring Ta u Twe nties. Sisters and their rushee dates dressed in slinky flappe r o utfits, complete with beads, seamed stockings, and hats covered in feathers. While the mustachioed piano pla ye r acco mpanied a sexy singe r THE ANCHOR

AO 's practice for Greek S ing

belting o ut " Hey, Big Spender," the rushee was served an Hawaiian Punch " under the table." A tro upe of risq ue flappers pe rfo rmed for the girls, but were interrupted by eight stern -faced gangsters who burst in a nd tried to lure the entertainers over to their joint. All was saved whe n the club owner convinced the racketeers to become patrons o f the Al pha Tau Hideaway. The sisters declared the program a success when they picked up their five wonderful pledges: Nancy Lucas, Kristin Mervosh, Val Novak, Val Trivelpiece, a nd open bid Cheryl Walchack. A second o pe n bid, Angie Zo ttola, will be pledging with this fall 's class.

In their community service wo rk, Tau helpers at the semi-annual Red Cross Bloodmobile typed req uired fo rms, assisted shaky donors to and from ta bles, a nd offered drin ks and sandwiches with a smile. As for fund -raising projects , Alpha Sigma Tau hoagies were still the campus favorites, and largesize candy bars were a welcome treat during the mid-semester doldrums. Two Ta us-Pam Work a nd Suzanne Eriksson--competed in the fina ls of the Miss Clario n State College Pageant, and both made the soro rity pro ud of their representation . In March, fi ve sisters attended Regional Day at the Indiana Uni ve rsity of Pe nnsylva nia, and came ho me bubblin g over with bright ideas from girls in other chapters. At the ann ual meeting, the chapter thanked the retiring offi cers and elected a new exec uti ve board : Preside nt, Mary Ann S impson; vice preside nt, Ja net Schmincke ; treas urer, Sue Mickle; recording secretary, Beth Klinge r; and corresponding secretary, Bev Goodling.

The Alpha Omicro n social life was busy as usual.

Besides a number of mi xers with the fraternities on campus, sisters a ppreciated their Valentine's Date Pa rty at the Howard Joh nson' s in Brookville, pla nned fo r the m by Linda Fugunt. And former Vice-Preside nt Gina Villella o ut did herself with the Ye llow Rose Formal, held at Cross Creek Country Clu b near Titusville , Pennsylvania. After the delicio us buffe t dinner, senior marketing major Gary Hines was prese nted the " Man of the Year" award 29

for his help and friendship to the sorority in the past year. A traditional midnight ceremony at the formal announced the engagement of alumna Ginnie Swart. Later in the semester Linda Jacobs sent the candle around four times for her engagement.

Still, the undisputed highlight of the semester was Greek Week. The Alpha Omicron chapter began the week with first-place honors in Greek Sing, with the inspiring " Stone on Stone" and a special, bouncy arrangement of " Sweet Talkin' Guy." In Olympics, the girls captured first-place again , paced by their never-say-die lightweight rope pull team. At the Greek Banquet, the Taus learned they had taken first in sorority scholarship, and so earned the first place overall trophy.

Gamma District Sensational Spring for Zeta Zeta's spring rush was a huge success. Under the direction of rush chairman , Nancy Crouthamel , Zetas were able to gain seventeen fantastic pledges.

They were Nancy Battaglia, Christine Duggan , Karen Geary , Amy Jo Hendrix, Donna Hocker, Sandi Kasson , Lori Larkin , Mandy Sessig, Becky McAiee, Sally Miller, Lynn Monahan, Kimberley Morris, Kelly Piper, Robin Rutter, Bertye Schneider, Mary Tanzosh and Maria Todaro. You can bet that the pledges kept pledge trainer, Cheryl (Torch) Wagner on her toes all semester long. Everyone is looking forward to " sisterization."

Tau Weekend was super and Pam Pope should be commended for all her time and effort.

Greek Weekend proved to be memorable, especially when the chapter won the Olympics again.

Zeta activities also included a social service proj ect for the youth of the area-two days of storytelling, puppet plays and games were planned in a park down town.

An Alumnae and Parent's Tea was planned for the semester, with songs and much reminiscing.

The annual Senior Send-off and Installation Banquet was held at the Whippoorwill Restaurant in Lock Haven. New officers to be installed were Kenda Whitmer, president; Terry Pipe , vice president, Terre Pensyl, treasurer, Tara Mahoney, recording secretary and Kathi By ham , corresponding secretary.

A final farewell to all our seniors, good-luck in all you do.

Alpha XI's at M.S.C .

The Alpha XI Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau at Mansfield State College began the semester with our spring rush party entitled " Tau Territory." After six exciting weeks of pledging we gained six new sisters: Debi Brink, Cathy Cressman , Beth Heck, Mary Lane, Kathy Leyden , and Bonnie Moyer.

They were initiated into the sorority on March 31.

The sisters have also been active in various social service projects this semester. orne of the sisters 30

participated in the bi-annual blood drive which was recently held on campus. Also we held an Easter party and an egg hunt for the emotionally disturbed class at the elementary school in downtown Mansfield. The sisters also visited The Green Home for elderly people in Wellsboro Pa. There we sang hymns, talked, and played games with all the residents.

We are proud to announce the addition of two new assistant advisers, Mrs. Paskran and Mrs. Ploucha.

Beta Epsilon Enjoys Successful Spring The sisters of Beta Epsilon have enjoyed another successful term at Shippensburg State thanks to the hard work of all our sisters.

We started out this semester with a fantastic rush program under the leadership of Janet Hanson. All of the rushe parties went well, as usual , and they led to the ribbon and pin pledging (and later, the initiation) of eight new sisters. New initiates are Betsy Beam er, Suzanne Clay, Dede Gerusky, Terri Janosik, Ellen Lee, Karen Shell, Doreen Stoltzfus, and Bobbi Sullivan.

The theme of the first rush was Ring in the New Year, and the turnout was great! Come to a Birthday Party was the theme of our second rush, where the rush committee performed a skit featuring everybody there as the birthday girl. The' next rush was Get to Know the Sisters of AST, where the rushees got to identify the sisters on the basis of just one clue, and therefore got to know the Taus a little better.

This spring's informal rush carried the theme Hollywood Visits AST, where sisters and rushees dressed as their favorite T.V. or movie star. The sisters performed skits and sang songs (with a notso-shy showstopper Katie Gray as John Travolta) for a fair turnout. We closed the rush period with our Formal Rush, A Touch of AST. Each sister got to know the 18 rushees while refreshments were served and the rushees looked at our scrapbooks.

Our Social service projects were in full swing again this semester. Candy Carlson headed the annual blood drive and organized ushering at th Catholic Church. Also . the Taus donal d cann d goods to a local canned-food dri e.

Our ways and mean encount r includ d th annual ro e ale. Thi r.

THE AN H R

Mother Nature's ill effects on the roses caused them to freeze, jacking up the price of sweetheart roses.

But the ever resourceful Taus sold Valentine carnations instead; a big success despite the bad weather.

Sharon Dean's money-making committee sometimes has ideas that are hard on the waistline as each sister sold (or ate) sixty-some candy bars-what a way to go.

We' ve also done our part to keep up with sorority relations, Kim Golden, Cindy Bickel and Eileen McGough visited the recently formed Harrisburg Alumnae Chapter. Our purpose was to see first hand an alumnae chapter in action and to keep sse graduates up to date in a personal way with the current Tau news. Just recently the alumnae chapter returned our visit, and all the sisters had a fun time , just reminiscing.

Social committee, chaired by Maggie Rogers, was hopping as always. We' ve just returned from what was probably one of the best Spring Yellow Rose Formals in AST history. And what helped mr~ke it great was the appearance of some gone-but-notforgotte n SSC alumnae. A special thank-you to all those who made the trip to Lancaster; it was a wild and crazy time.

And then there's sports. Beta Epsilon has completed another enthusiastic semester in the in tramural sports program . Leslie Shook was the captain of our softball team ; Lisa Holland was the captain of our basketball team; and Carol Kondrosky led her volleyball team into final competition. Sue Ingram caught the winning touchdown pass to led her football team into a fun season , and Lisa Brown, in charge of soccer, led the AST boaters to some afternoon victories.

Our anchor splash during All-College Week went well as we awarded trophies to the winning teams.

And we came in second place this year in All Sports Night with a fantastic pyramid, made of 10 quick Taus.

We say goodbye to some very special girls this semester. Graduating are Lory Enterline, Dianne Erdman , Anne Gray, Kim Lefever, Leslie Shook and Diane Schmidt. Leaving also is Ho mecoming Queen Julie Bihl who will work in a hospital for the upcoming year.

HONORS: Dianne Erdman is this year's To p Tau. Congratulations, Di! Also, we came in second place in the President's Cup for academics.

Other than our pledge activities, we were very busy trying to raise money for our Yellow Rose Formal. Fund-raisers included selling candy, doughnuts and hot pretzels at a TKE Fraternity happy hour party. Our Yellow Rose Formal was held March 24th at L&M Catering in Haverford, Penna.

The theme for Greek Weekend was "famous movies." Alpha Phis chose California Suite and changed it to Greek Suite. We took first place in decorations and sister, Carol Be hrle, was crowned Queen o f the Greeks. Greek weekend consisted of skits, sing-a-lo ng, an all-Greek hayride , games, picnic, and a party.

Other sisters we're proud of are, Sue Horwitz who is W.C. 's new Pan hellenic President, and Kathy Reinhold, President of Greek Council.

A farewell party was held in ear ly May to say thank you and good-bye to our six graduating seniors: Mary Italiano , Cheryl Gudaitus, Laura Erhard , Sue Piefer, Karen Jankowski, and Cindy Miller.

A ransom note was left with someone in their respective group which informed them that they had to contact other members of their group and collect ten can goods or $5. 00. They were to leave them at the designated drop off place in order for their member to be released . 128 can goods were collected and $25.00 in cash. A can drive was also held which resulted in a total o f 235 can goods. The project was done to support a needy family in the Salisbury area.

and will strive to contribute our share to the progress of mankind. We believe in cultivating beauty of spirit and graciousness of living in all our contacts with others."

Our activities within the sorority, on campus and in the community convey these ideals.

The Spring semester began with the Miss H.S .U. pageant. AST was beautifully and gracefully represented by Julie Alexander and Judy Stewart. Both were member of the pledge class.

The spring rush party was held on February 14, Valentine's Day. The theme of the party was " Let AST Get Into Your Heart." Linda Miller, a junior from Arkadelphia, was the new spring pledge.

St. Patrick's Day was another occasion which was celebrated with a service project. They made leprechaun tray favors for the Gurdon Nursing Home.

Regional Day was held on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. The Upsilon chapter was the host. Beta Zeta, Alpha Mu , and Beta Lambda were also present and contributed to the programs and activities. The learning that took place was not o nly abo ut sorority matters, but a lso about th emse lves and each other.

Everyone was privilegded to meet the National President Mrs. Sybil King.

The Pan hellenic Council, composed of members from each sorority on campus, held the annual Panhellenic dance. The couples danced to disco sounds under mirrored lights and sparkling stars.

One of AST's national philanthropies is the Association of Emotionally Disturbed Children. Alpha Gamma participated as volunteers in the Arkansas area 10 Special Olympics. It was a very heart warming and rewarding experience.

The girls invited their parents and families to be a part o f the parent-daughter banquet. It was held in the school cafeteria's banquet room. The program which followed included an awards presentation, recognition of special guests, and songs which were sung by the fall pledges. Following the banquet, a reception was held at the Panhellenic Ho use.

Alpha Gammas held their first annual spring formal this year! The theme was " Too Much Heaven. " The music was disco and was provided by a well36

Recruiting new pledges was the ideal goal set by Omicron Chapter of Concord College at Athens, West Virginia. The first step in achieving this goal was a rush party in February with the theme of Alpha Tau Bandstand. Each active participated in the event by taking the role of various singing stars.

Among the stars being acted were The Village People, The Beatles, The Carpenters, Kiki Dee and Elton John , Elvis Presley, and John Travolta and Olivia Newton -John singing hits from the movie Grease. The actives had as much fun as the rushees during the party, and many compliments on the Tau's hospitality were rewarded. Favors for the party were glasses and songbooks with AST monogram. The theme for the formal rush party was "Heart of Gold" and the rushees were given yellow roses and monogrammed satin heart pillows as favors .

The pledges gained through rush and by open bidding were Calisa Avis, Sandy Dotson, Sherry Dotson, Debi Fanning, Cindy Jones, Robin Catron , and Terri Sheets. The Big Sis Lil' Sis party was titled " Aloha Alpha Tau's." Hawaiian attire was worn by actives and pledges. A ham dinner was served by pledges preceding a Don Ho skit and scene at Waikiki Beach.

One of the social service projects held during the spring semester was during St. Patrick's Day. Omicrons visited the Glenwood Nursing Home. A small party was held for the patients which included singing hymns and sorority songs followed by serving of cake and refreshments.

Fund-raising has been a major emphasis for the Omicron Chapter in preparation of the Yellow Rose formal set for May 5 and Pipestem State Park. There has been a car wash, hot dog sale , raffle , and mug sale to raise the money needed for the dance.

At the closing of the spring term graduating seniors will include Sandy Harris, Sarah Hurley.

With Jan Jennings heading up rush in the Fall, we' re all looking forward to some productive new pledges.

Our adviser, Mrs. Callaway has been busy this year as she was in charge of the Intramural Athletic Association . Best wishes and good luck to Patsy Watson, assistant chapter adviser who is expecting.

"Tentation" and "Crazy Eight" Join Alpha Lambda Productive , creative, spirited, and loving describes the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau through the winter and spring quarters. The Christmas spirit encircled the sisters with secret angels revealed at the Christmas Party given by our patroness. The fall pledges, The "Tentation ," were happy to be initiated on January 11. We are proud to announce our new sisters; Angela Barber, Mary Ann Clutter, Cindy Journell , Katie Queen , Anne Sinnot, Patricia Slye , Judy Sokoloski, Tuptin Turner, and Patsy Wright.

Elections were held and installation of new officers came in Fe bruary. Marci Roberts was elected president for the upcoming year. February 3 added a sparkle to all the sisters' eyes attending the Sweethearts Dinner and dance held at the She raton Red Lion Inn . Katie Queen was voted Sweethearts Queen and Anne Sinnot, Princess.

The winter rushees were entertained at the Sleepytime rush party and the alums added to the fun . The pledges were fondly named the "Crazy Eight" and became initiated sisters on March 29.

They are: Tammy Boardwine, Donna Clingenpeel, Debbie Davis , Holly Everett, Barbara Goodrich , Lynn McCoy, Ellen Reinhardt, and Val Shelton.

Cabin Parties approached quickly during April and the rookies, sisters, and alums all had a fantastic and memorable time, establishing new friendships and enriching the old. Top Tau was given to Mary Webster and Eternal Rookie was Val Shelton.

Through all the busy and hard work, the sisters have kept their social events on the go. Parties with fellow sororities and frate rnities, picnics, Derby Day at Virginia Tech, Greek Week and a faculty reception have kept the sisters of Alpha Lambda in tune with the sunshine and friendly fa ces at Radford College.

Io ta D istrict A Chapter Suite for Phi The Alpha Taus of Phi Chapter at Southeastern Louisiana Univrsity in Hammond, Louisiana, began 1979 in full force by proudly initiating 15 girls. They are: Cindy Abbott, Julie Atkins, Robbie Blackburn, Sheri Bye, Janelle Jarvis, Deborah Lato, Becky McCoy, Becky Morgan, Lisa Parent, Robin Rampp, Shawn Slattery, Kari Stentiford, Sylvia Thompson, Kerry Trauth , and Angie Tyrone. The Best Pledge Award was won by Sylvia Thompson; the President's Award was won by Becky Morgan ; and the Best Scrapbook Award was won by Sheri Bye. Leslie Lipps and Angie Tyrone won the Big Sis-Little Sis Scholarship Award.

The Phi's are also very enthusiastic about their pledges who are: Dara Brabham, Nezida Braud , Debbie Broussard, Katrina Buras, Cheryl Graves, Barbara Hamrick, and Lynn Willis.

The big project of Phi is to furnish their chapter suite. This dream is coming true thanks to hardworking sisters and the help of the wonderful AST Alums. The sisters of Phi live in a sorority domitory with three other sororities. Each sorority has a suite of four rooms and a kitchen for their own chapter use. Under the leadership of hard-working and persistent AST Housing Director, Diana Dubuisson , the suite is taking shape. Each week sisters are assigned to clean the suite and make sure the door is locked.

Also a list of rules was made and e nforced. By raising money from projects such as selling M&M candy, and with the help of alums and friends. the sisters were able to purchase a stove, sink and cabinets, living room furniture , and several lamps.

Carpeting and drapes are hopeful for the near future. This suite provides a place for the sisters to have meetings, get-togethers, and most importantly to talk and share sister hood. Working together for this goal of a beautiful chapter suite has truly been rewarding in many ways.

Participation in many activities made the semester exciting. The Phi's enjoyed several mixersincluding a Toga Party. They were also active in Greek Week events. A memorable event was the Car Stuffing Contest. Twenty Phi's stuffed themselves into a Volkswagon!

"Spirited" is o ne word to describe Phi Chapter.

Besides attending University games. cheering. mak-

ing spirit signs, and supporting the university teams, the Alpha Taus had their own intramural softball team and Greek Bowling team.

Many Alpha Taus were active in other campus organizations such as the Lionettes, Rag and Rifle Team, Student Alumni Association, Student Government, yearbook and newspaper staff, Little Sisters for several fraternities, Residence Hall Association, University Dancers, honor societies, and departmental clubs. Not only are they members, but many sisters also hold offices in these organizations!

February 17 was a memorable day for Phi. They celebrated their 40th birthday. AST is the oldest social sorority on campus-a fact of which the sisters are extremely proud.

Annual events included an Easter Egg Hunt with Hammond State School. The students enjoyed searching for colorful paper eggs that were made by the sisters-but they enjoyed the candy even more!

The Special Olympics were held on campus, and the Alpha Taus eagerly helped-as they do every year.

The most exciting event of the semester was the Spring Formal. The theme was "Reminiscing." The sisters worked very hard on decorations which included fancy gazebos as table centerpieces, which were made with styro-foam and poster paper, and a large beautiful gazebo with flowers , as a backdrop for getting pictures taken . "Mirage" was the band that provided the music, which ranged from disco to rock-n-roll. Rita Anne Bertolino, past Phi president and recent graduate of the University was the mistress of ceremonies for the program. Rita Anne won the Top Tau Award. Also during the program the new initiates as well as officers were presented. The hard-working, efficient officers for 1979 are: Barbara Pereira, president; Suzy Carter, vice president; Karen Hudson , treasurer; Shelley Wascom , recording secretary; and Loretta Luchuck, corresponding secretary. Cheryl Wattign ey was very surprised and excited as she was announced as the new Sweetheart. The sisters are still talking about this very successful formal.

Congratulations have gone out this semester to many sisters. Suzy Carter was named as the Outstanding Female Greek on campus. Suzy is also the

Maria Luchuck received the Dean's Award for the Outstanding Graduate in Business. Kerry Trauth received the Les Mesdames Award for Outstanding Freshman. Suzan Jung was named as Miss Alpha Tau Omega. Several other Alpha Taus were on fraternity courts also. Sylvia Thompson won the title of Miss Strawberry Majorette. Janis West received a University Dancers Award. Four Phi's won the Green S Award which is an award given to outstanding Southeastern Louisiana University students. They are: Patsy Hoffman, Angie Tyrone, Cheryl Wattigney, and Janis West. The Phi's are also proud that 11 sisters were named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. They are: Rita Anne Bertolino, Carol Brian, Suzy Carter, Julie Gagliano, Leslie Lipps, Maria Luchuck, Barbara Pereira, Kristi Soileau, Angie Tyrone, Cheryl Wattigney, and Janis West. Many sisters were also on the Dean's List.

Rush plans are already underway for Fall Rush!

The sisters will not be idle this summer! Karen Hudson, Rush Chairman , has organized several workshops during the summer, and the sisters are looking forward to another fun and succcessful rush.

Farewell and the best of luck to Maria Luchuck, Kristi Soileau, and Marla Weeks who graduated this semester. A pizza party was given in their honor, and they each received a beautiful engraved stick pin.

The New Orleans Alums held a luncheon in honor of the seniors , also.

Special thanks go to Mrs.Thomas, Chapter Advisor, who is appreciated for her help and guidance during this very successful semester.

Beta Zetas and Florida The winter quarter promised fun and excitement for all the members of the Beta Zeta Chapter at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Boasting four new pledges, Lisa Burdett, Karen Case, Tami Murphree , and Sandy Whitney, the actives had their work cut out for them. Under the whip and paddle of pledge trainer, Mary Yeatman , the pledges conquered their tests with ease and eagerly looked forward to their initiation on March 16.

The initiation of the new members called for a celebration , and the girls found themselves on their way to Fort Walton Beach, Aorida. During their four-day stay, the ASTs could be found roasting on the beach during the day; despite the chilling gulf breeze, and at night, dancing the night away at a local disco. This trip served to bring trust and friendship to new and old members alike.

New business was soon placed on the agenda. along with it came the election of new officers. The officers are: Susan Golliher, president; Patty mith, vice president; Teresa Kampis, recording ecretary: Susan Fogas, corresponding secretary: and nna Cobb, treasurer. The member would al o lik t give their deepest appreciation and gratitud t those graduating niors who contribut d mu h THE AN H R

As a final note, the Beta Zetas would like to wish the best of luck to all AST's in the coming year and may God bless.

Fund-raiser for Beta Theta's Was Successful As spring fever settles over San Antonio the Beta Theta chapter at St. Mary's is adding ' finishing touches to a successful semester.

The spring session began with Beta Theta's third annual "Las Vegas Night. " This fund -raising project was an evening of gambling a nd fun , which came complete with dancing girls and a real casino atmosphere. Thanks go to vice president Diana Altamirano for her fine organization of the event.

The rush program this semester included two open socials and a formal rush-a first for Beta Theta. The program yielded 18 enthusiastic pledges for Alpha Sigma Tau. The most interesting activity of pledge period revolved around a St. Patrick's Day theme. This activity was the pledge slave auction and dance on March 16. The pledges, disguised as leprechauns, were auctioned off as slaves for a day. Even though several slaves were pressed into extensive housekeeping chores, one pledge described the experience as "a great way to meet people." The "Pot O' Gold Dance" brought a close to the successful (and tiring) project.

Beta Theta participated in several campus and local activities this semester. The c hapter contributed a baseball team, a basketball team, and four volleyball teams to the intramural sports program on campus. Locally, the chapter participated in the Olmec Olympics, which was an effort to top the events in the "Guiness Book of World Records." At the same time the sisters took advantage of the occasional sunshine to share a picnic supper.

April 16th was the date of the chapter's Yellow Rose Formal, which honored the Sorority's outgoing officers, graduating seniors , Top Tau Carol Schoellmann, and Top Tau Pledge, Teresa Clifford.

Joan Hopkins distributed the "Limp Rose Awards" distinguishing certain members for their dubious accomplishments. A formal dance concluded the evening.

Presently, plans are under way for the upcoming summer session. They include a dance and a Fourth-of-July raffle. Congratulations to six of our sisters, Cathy Delany, Gail Duncan, Irma Dovalina, Terry Mendez, Martha Murphy and Beth Pfromer, all of whom will be married this summer.

True sisterhood was really enloyed this semester as always. Special thanks go to Mrs. Thomas, Chapter Advisor, who is appreciated for her help and guidance during this very successful semester.

Alpha Nu Returns to Central Missouri Plans to reinstate the Alpha Nu chapter began ear ly in 1978. The Alpha Nu's returned to Central Missouri State University in September of 1978. For months we worked hard and long hours. We showed all the other Greek organizations that we really meant busniess. We participated in homecoming activities, a formal pledge tea, and "Pus h for Life" to benefit the American Heart Association. We even participated in the Lambda Chi Alpha basketball tournament. (Lou Crnko won the Delta Chi Sexy Legs Contest.) All the while we were busy writing our constitution , by-laws, and standards. It seemed as though rush was on our minds 24 hours a day.

We found out we were to have a visitor in February. It was Bobbie Nichols. We bit our nails nervously awaiting her arrival. In her short visit we all grew to love her. We began preparing for installation . Before we knew it March 9, was here, bringing Sybil King, Chris Nugent, and many of the Kansas City alumnae. March 10, 1979 was more than we ever hoped to expect. Initiation lasted all day long and the pledges and alums gave us a lunch . We received so many flowers of congratulations that our chapter room looked like a flower shop.

That night we were reinstated as a chapter at a banquet. Charter members of Alpha Nu are: lvette Arango, Mickie Cleaver, Ida Cole, Lou Crnko, Robin Correll, Alesia Dumas, Debbie Edwards, Mona Frazier, Teresa Greer, Sue Jackson , Jennifer Jones, Sally Kurt, Jodi Light, Lynn McCafferty, Valerie Muller, Debbie Rash , Jan Schillerman, Cheryl Soltis, Cynthia Spear, Ronnie Studley, Ann Westenhaver, Crystie Williams, and Peggy Worley.

After the banquet we celebrated for hours and Mrs. King grew close to our hearts.

During March we attended regional leadership workshop at Iota where we received the best skit award.

On April 19, 1979, we initiated our first pledge class. April 20th , brought our first annual Yellow Rose Formal. We participated in Greek Week on campus and we received the Spirit Award in the Sorority division.

We would like to thank everyone who made our return possible.

Between school closings we held two rush parties.

The first was a formal party following a Mexican theme. The second was a bowling party that was a striking success. Soon after, we pledged Jackie Mehrtens and Catherine Ortiz.

The weather also played havoc with one of our cultural events. After being cancelled because of snow three times, we finally held a China party. This cultural event, under the topic of graciousness of living, featured different types of China tableware.

Another enjoyable cultural event was a trip to the St. Louis Art Museum to see an exhibit entitled " Vanity Fair." The exhibit featured clothes from the 15th century through present day. This trip demonstrated the progress of mankind.

In February, we had installation of officers.

Donna Johann was installed as President, Sue Leibert - Vice President , Denise PanyikTreasurer, Patricia Tompkins- Recording Secretary, Elizabeth Morris - Corresponding Secretary, and Paula Burton - Pledge Mistress.

February 14 not only means love and Valentine's, but also th e annual Beta Eta Carnation Sale.

On Valentine's Day we deliver carnations that we have sold to apartments and offices on campus. It is quickly becoming a tradition for Beta Eta's.

On March 9 we watched as our sister, Paula Revelle became Mrs. Paula Burton. It was a joyous occasion for everyone.

Later in March we journeyed to Kirksville, Mo., where we met with Alpha Sigma chapter for an enlightening mini-regional day.

Spring Quarter began with warmer temperatures and high hopes for a good quarter.

For spring rush we had two informal parties and a cheese tasting party for our formal party. Soon after we pledged two girls-Kathy Goodrich and Rebecca Spurling.

Our biggest money-making event, Springfest, was held May 14-18. We sold corn-on-the-cob and bagels as we have for the past five years. This year we added something new. We had a board painted with the picture of a giraffe and monkey. Where the faces of the giraffe and monkey should have been were holes. People put their heads in the holes and had their pictures taken. We called the booth " Animal House."

On June 1, we held o ur annual, formal dinnerdance. This year we had a disco dance following dinner to celebrate Beta Eta's founding .

On June 9 we held a party honoring our two graduating seniors, Kim Fojtik and Elaine Hicks.

We are very proud of the achievement of our sisters over the past six months. Recently, our new President, Donna Johann , was ele cted State President of the Student Illinois Education Association (SIEA). When Donna took the state office , her office as president of the Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville chapter of SIEA was filled by another Beta Eta- Patricia Tompkins, also our recording secretary.

Vice President Sue Leibert was elected to a national office as Student Delegate on the Executive ommittee of College Union's International.

Both the ple dges and the sisters made ban ne rs fo r th e pa ir, and man y were there to cheer them o n d uring the 5 2-ho ur marathon . We collected over $1,400 fo r the maratho n in a bo ut o ne mo nt h. Way to go, Eileen a nd J e ff!

ASTs were well-represented at the Valentine Ball, spo nsored annually by the brothers of Al pha Phi Delta. Chrissy Carlucci was o ur queen in the competitio n.

We also were involved in Derby Days, sponsored by the brothers o f Kappa Sigma Phi, in April. This year's the me, aro und which a skit was plan ned , was "Go For It. " Alo ng with the wee k of chasing derbies at night, there were numerous contests. The AST's won the tug-of-war a nd came in a close third in the chugging contest. That's the Ta u spirit!

The girls were saddened by the loss of their advise r, Mrs. Geo rgia Zeedick, this spring. Mrs .

Zeedick left Duquesne to beco me wo men's editor of a local paper. Fr. Ro ber t Roac h will ta ke her place.

Best of luck, Georgia, we' ll miss yo u!

Cookie Smyrnes showed ingenuity she displayed as a pledge whe n s he came up with our spring fun d- ra ising project. The girls sent fli ers to parents of reside nt fres hme n a nd sopho mores and offered to supply their stude nt with a care package chock-full of n utritio us goodies d uring fi nals, for a modest fee.

We did all the p urchasing a nd asse mbling of the pac kages for the successful sale . The proceeds helped pay fo r o ur Se nior Din ner Dance, which was held in April.

The girls also sold ra ffle tickets for the Junior Pittsburgh Pe nguins ice hockey team , and received half o f what they sold.

Altogether, it has been a great year for us. We hope next year is just as good for all Taus.

Dedication, e nergy, e nthusiasm . patience. and lo ve. These are q uali ties which o ur eleven graduating se niors exemplified to the rest of the Be ta Deltas.

The girls have given so much of themselves to our sororit y during the past fo ur years that it's difficult 41

for us to realize they' re now out in the world and no longer involved in our pranks and good times.

What girls who pledged under Candy Whitman can ever forget her favorite three words, "Go For It?" Candy made us believe nothing was impossible, especially when we lost faith in ourselves. And who were the craziest, most fun girls to eat dinner or party with? Ellen Shogan, Becky Porada, Patti Dallacroce and Marica Chacona, we couldn't forget for anything. Jeannie Furgiuele, you may have been super-strict during Carnival and Derby Days, but thanks to you, we were confident and put on so me

excellent shows. We could never forget how difficult and stern Eileen Rood was until we proved ourselves worthy of being an AST, and we love her for it.

Who could ever forget our two sisters who were safe in off-campus apartments from all the pranks, but who always spent so much time with us: thanks, Sylvia Pagan and Pauline Kotun. Last, but not least, Lorraine Simon and her nightly pizza binges and Janice Melnyk's deceiving shyness, will always be fondly remembered.

Thanks, seniors, for everything. We never could have made it so much fun without you.

Birmingham Alums Show and Tell The Birmingham alumnae enloyed a series of varied activities in the 1979 winter and spring seasons. In January, Nancy Hanners Jones, a Beta Zeta and Birmingham alumnae initiate , revisited Birmingham during her husband's military move. Always glad for a reunion , we celebrated with a homecoming covered-dish dinner. Other Beta Zeta alumnae, who normally are unable to participate, came to share in the fun. We are delighted to entertain Debby Brink. Margaret Breland Roseberry, and Connie Farr.

In remembering our collegiate "little" sisters, Delores Falls, o ur Collegiate Chairman, attended several of Beta Zeta's chapter meetings. She took birthday gifts to each girl, and offered encouragement in remaining active as alumnae sisters after graduation. She was quite successful in that we initiated three new alumnae this May 20th: Carol Lynn Baril, Susan Carol Lee Ozley, and Sherryll Jean Peacock.

Besides our financial support of MAEDC and Pine Mo untain , we provided funds to the Center for Developmental and Learning Disorders which was used to purchase an exercise mat for the children.

One of our most interesting and fun programs was the " Hobby Show and Tell." Each alumna brought a finished product of their hobby, and presented a short program on the history, construction, and their personal interest in the item. We caught a glimpse of such projects as needlework, chair caning, painting, family history and genealogy, and the secret of obtaining money-for information, write Betti Shores! We were delighted to have Frankie Darden and Lorrie Barra Rogers as our guests that venin g.

Buffalo Welcomes Sigma The Buffalo Alumnae Chapter welcomed 1979 with a Saturday, luncheon meeting in a local restaurant on January 13th.

Betty Clay was hostess for the February dessert meeting. Lillian Gondree, program chairman, invited a speaker from the Ttfft Farm Nature Preserve to inform members of the various programs given by the Tifft Farm personnel. Tifft Farm Nature Preserve is located within the city of Buffalo, three miles south of the downtown business center.

Many of the members attended the March Buffalo City Panhellenic dinner where various aspects of consummerism were discussed. Alpha Sigma Tau was recognized as the largest delegation present.

In March, decorative pillow kits were assembled for our local social service project, at the home of Marilyn Todd. These pillows were then taken to a local home for girls by Sigma Chapter and assembled. Marilyn Helmrath , social service chairman, coordinated this program.

On Saturday April 7th , Sigma Colony became Sigma Chapter. National Preside nt, Sybil King, former National Chaplain , Mary Ellen Willmitch and District President, Ann Gruber came to Buffalo for the initiation. Sorority Advisers, Sally Wales and Jean McNamara helped make the arrangements for this weekend. Buffalo Alumnae Chapter has their collegiate chapter back again after so many years.

The members of Buffalo Alumnae enjoyed a unique program on button collecting at the dessert meeting held at the home of Norma Martin in April.

Nancy Noble was hostess to the May dessert meeting. New officers were elected and installed.

Sigma grads were initiated into the Alumnae chapter at this time.

The June Picnic Meeting was held at Sally Wales summer home, located on the shore of Lake Ontario, Wilso n, New York.

Detroit Fosters Collegiate Contacts A money-saving, money-earning "telepathy tea" was the January program . Gas money that would normally be spent going to a meeting through sleet and snow was donated instead to Pine Mountain .

Detroit members used mental telepathy to meet as thoughts of their sisters warmed the temperatures.

Diane Peters was hostess in February at a planning session. Alumnae members supported Theta collegians in their bib-making project for the Foundation for Exceptional Children. Plans were also made to provide paint shirts for these youngsters which Theta Chapter redesigned.

The second "Brunch with Bach Concert" held in the Kresge Court of the Detroit Institute of Arts was a sell-o ut. Diane Peters again made arrangements for this festive Sunday, forenoon activity in March. It was another chance to return to Detroit's Cultural Center.

Barbara Koscierzynski planned the tempting en tertainment for April. Another "hands on" activity was a real treat. Members learned how to make large, hollow, sugar, Easter eggs which they de~o足 rated with individual icing designs. The beauttful candy dishes were appropriate gifts or centerpieces for the holiday table.

Officers elected for 1979-80 included Juanita Bo uffard and Diane Peters as president and vice president, respectfully. The Detroit Alumnae Chapter has been fortunate in having efficient, conscientious o ffi cers who willingly respond to the needs of the group. We wish to thank them openly for their fine services.

Members returned to Wayne State's campus for Theta Chapter's Ice Cream Social in May which was a n alumnae reunion as well as another opportunity for alumnae to become better acquainted with collegiates.

Roanoke Alums Shower Children's Center The Roanoke Alumnae Chapter sent 1978 out with a grand Christmas get-together in December.

Sorority mo ney was used to purchase games for the childre n at the Children's Center, the home for emotionally disturbed children in Roanoke. The children at the Center have become our special project. Each member brought an item for the kitchen a nd gave a "kitchen shower" to replenish the kitchen stock.

The children had decorated their tree and their home the evening before and enjoyed showing the alums their decorations a nd their rooms. Molly Scanlan had sewed red felt stockings for each child and filled them with toys, candy, crayons and so on.

After the party at the Center, the members went on to the Catawba Emporium and had a dinner together.

In January, ~evera l of the sisters traveled to Radford College to attend the traditional " Sleepy Time Tau Rush Party.

As a Spring project, Roanoke Alumnae are purchasing underwear for the children at the Children's Center. Also , used clothing in very good condition is being gathered for them.

The chapter is pleased because its interest in the Children's Center has spread to other groups. One of our members told her church about the Centerthe church group now gives birthday parties for each child and provides special financial help.

Although a great deal of money is spent on the Center through government grants. most of it goes to the director, staff, psychiatric doctors and maintenance of the house. This leave very little for 47

clothes and extras for the children, or furnishings for the home. These things, along with personal contacts and time spent with the children , is what the Roanoke Chapter sisters try to provide. -Martha Crute
