1982 Spring ANCHOR

IGM

Chapter at Eastern Illinois University Installed Beta Pi is newest link in Alpha Sigma Tau's chain of sisterhood -Amy Dupree The storm that dropped eighteen inches of snow on Eastern Illinois University kept nine national officers and staff members in Charleston a little lo nger than they had expected-but it gave them the opportunity to relax and enjoy the feat they had just accomplished. On Saturday, Jan uary 30, 1982 the 72 members of the Beta Pi Colony became the Sisters of the Beta Pi Chapter.

The weekend began on Friday, when the national officers arrived at the Holiday Inn to find that the pledges had already been there to decorate their rooms to suit the occasion with balloons, crepe paper, roses, Snickers bars and an issue of the school daily for them to read (as if they would have time).

Saturday began early for all. Mrs. Thomas J . King, National President; Mrs. Harold Scott, Director of Collegiate Chapters; Mrs. Robert Pyszka , Director of Expansion; Mrs. Robert Richard, National Secretary; Miss Mary Ellen Willmitch, Directory of Fraternity Programs; Mrs. Larry Sparks, Kappa District President, Miss Bobbie Nichols, NPC Alternate; Miss Ann Marie Carroll, Colony Advisor; Miss Shelley Wascom, Traveling Counselor; Miss Amy DuPree, Resident Counselor; Miss Janice Grady, Miss Pat Raugher, and Mrs. Debbie Summerlot Fay, alumnae , conducted the initiation ceremony in the Grand Ball Room of the University Union .

Sisters from Beta Eta and Alpha Epsilon Chapters were also present for the ceremony. It took nearly eight hours to initiate the 72 women-but the fun was just beginning.

The banquet was served in the Ball

Roo m of the University Union. Miss Shelley Wascom , Toastmistress for the evening thought everything was " ex-sight-in." EIU President Daniel Marvin extended a welcome to " the new kids in town." After dinner Ann Marie Cavanaugh, Asst. Director of Student Activities, and Dr. Glenn Williams, VP to Student Affairs, offered greetings to the 72 girls, their parents and invited guests. Mrs. King then presented the charter to Cara Kujala , ritual chairman. It was the climax to five long months of hard work and determination . Mrs. Sparks presented Linda Dellamaria, chapter president with the gavel and Mrs. Scott made the presentation of the chapter plaque to Janet McVey, recording secretary.

Presentation of the many gifts from the National Alums and the Alpha XI and Beta Eta Chapters seem more like Christmas than installation. In return , the women of Beta Pi also presented tokens of their appreciation to the people who actively supported them

since their inception at Eastern Illinois University. The evening's activities were culminated with a candlelighting service conducted by Mrs. Pyszka. The girls impressed everyone with their rendition of " In the Candlelight" (especially the ones who knew just how difficult it was to sing).

The snow has long since gone, but fond memories of that weekend in January will be with Beta Pis forever.

Thank you, Alpha Sigma Tau, for coming to Eastern Illinois University and into the lives of these women.

The ''NOW'' NPC Focus on Cooperation, Not Competition The elegant Brown Palace Hotel, in the midst of a bustling downtown Denver, yet shadowed by the majestic snow covered Rocky Mountains, served as the site of the November, 1981 47th Session of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) .

Representatives of each of the 26 member groups explored issues and concerns of today . . . concerns such as hazing, extension ethics, rushing and pledging procedures, alcohol abuse and the economy that affect each member group , and , therefore , the National Panhellenic Conference.

Throughout the conference the need for cooperation, not competition was reaffirmed as members were reminded that they are ethically bound to abide by and uphold the Unanimous Agreements.

In her opening remarks, NPC Chairman Minnie Mae Prescott, Kappa Delta, described the theme of the conference " Now NPC" by saying, " I gather that-in today' s terminology-the 'Now Anything' is supposed to be a very desirable, satisfactory, and up to the minute state of affairs. I regret to have to say that, in my opinion, NPC has not really reached the goal which is indicated by the 'Now NPC' .

I think we are trying. There are evidences that we are making an effort to be flexible and innovative. We have come a long way, but we have a long way to go, I believe. Therefore, let us not look upon the 'Now NPC' as an accomplished goal, but rather as a challenge for charting our course in the future. An accomplishment which will never, in my opinion, be fully realized until and unless we have the complete, sincere, and dedicated cooperation of all twenty six member groups of our Conference. " She described some of the major concerns facing NPC member groups as: 1. The economic condition of the country affects our chapters in that they must be prepared to deal with the problems of a shortened life cycle to assure the continuity of chapter life.

4

2. The interests and needs of the older students must be kept in mind in chapter programming.

3. Alcohol abuse is a growing problem among women students.

4. The Little Sister/ Big Brother groups continue to concern us.

5. Apathy among our members, both collegians and alumnae , is disturbing.

6. Hazing " Our Conference has ever faced problems-and no doubt always will.

That was the reason for its founding more than 75 years ago. We are challenged to work toward solving the problems of our day. We must not fall short in meeting this responsibility. " With this concluding statement by Chairman Prescott, the tone of the Conference was set. Delegates and alternates set to work to try to solve common problems, meet the challenges and to reaffirm the spirit of cooperation that is NPC. Special presentations were made during the Conference; among them was a floral arrangement Alpha Sigma Tau presented in honor of their National Founders' Day. Mary Burt Nash , Alpha Xi Delta, reported on the Advisory Committee, a new committee appointed in 1979 comprised of past NPC Chairmen currently serving as delegates or alternates to the Conference.

Areas such as extension procedures, lack of education of collegiate members in the knowledge of the NPC Unanimous Agreements and education of alumnae in their responsibilities, privileges and limitations were pointed out as subjects of concern to the Advisory Committee.

New to the NPC Session were two panel discussions led by NPC members and Collegiate Panhellenic Advisors.

The " Regional and Area Conferences" panel discussed the merits of the various Panhellenic conferences held throughout

the country. Part of the panel discussion dealt with the issue of whether or not NPC groups would be able to continue to provide the necessary financial and resource personnel support to all regional and state conferences.

The " NPC/ National Organizations/ Panhellenic Advisor Relationships" panel dealt with improving communications and working relationships between the three factions .

The Alumnae Panhellenics Luncheon, hosted by the Denver Area Panhellenic, was a delightful interval in the midst of serious discussions. Those attending were well entertained by a fashion show illustrating Denver' s colorful history and awards presented to outstanding Alumnae Panhellenics. The keynote address was given by Ruth Brown , Alpha Xi Delta, Chairman of the Alumnae Panhellenics Committee.

A session dealing with " Greek Legal Affairs" was presented by David L. Westol, Theta Chi ational Vice President and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, County of Kalamazoo , Michigan . Mr. Westol stressed the importance of legal knowledge and counsel on the local level for chapter officers and House Corporations.

Mary K. Barbee, Sigma Sigma Sigma, incoming PC Chairman gave a brief statement at the close of the last business session. She summarized her remarks by saying, "The true reason for being is the ultimate trust in one another. " ew members of the National Panhellenic Conference Executive Committee fo r the 1981-1983 biennium were installed at the conclusion of the banquet.

They are: Mary K. Barbee, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Chairman ; Cynthia McCrory , Alpha Sigma Tau, Secretary; and Sidney Allen , Alpha Sigma Alpha, Treasurer.

From the President You ask why should I attend the Alpha Sigma Tau National Convention? There are many obvious answers for the AST who attends. First, she will have a good time, rejoice in seeing old friends and enjoy getting to know sisters she has never met. Each sister can learn more about Sorority plans and programs and will have the opportunity to contribute her ideas and opinions. She can participate in planned events such as workshops, general sessions and social activities. After convention, perhaps, she will muse over sister or a chapter receiving an honor, or recall the late night "gab" sessions.

These are just a few convention happenings. But, they are some of the activities which give merit individually and collectively to the meaning of Alpha Sigma Tau. The ultimate reason , however, is something deeper and more meaningful.

Think with me for a moment of the meaning of Alpha Sigma Tau and the solemn commitment we each made at our initiation. We vowed to perpetuate the ideals and values which we each hold dear. This commitment is what sorority life is all about to an AST .. . sharing, caring, and giving to those whose lives we touch .

In this sense, we are each a star in the past, the present and the future of Alpha Sigma Tau. The brightness from the light of our individual star is seen no matter where we live or who sees its light.

Your presence is important at Convention. The contribution you make in those few days will assure a positive impact for the advancement of the Sorority. The glow of the

light of Alpha Sigma Tau will be guaranteed to be more brilliant in the future because you are involved.

See you in Nashville, Tennessee, June 22, 1982.

Love in sisterhood, Sybil King

National Convention Chairman Cathy Crapet and Donna Richardson have planned another super convention The 24th National Convention marks Cathy Crapet's fourth convention to plan and her sixth to attend. She has planned conventions in Birmingham, Natural Bridge, Pittsburgh, and now Nashville. She has been involved in sorority since 1970 when she was initiated into the Beta Zeta Chapter at the National Convention in Toronto. She served as Beta Zeta' s first President. Cathy is also active in the Birmingham Alumnae Chapter and is serving as Treasurer this year.

Cathy is a graduate of the University of Alabama in Birmingham and has " retired" after eight years of teaching in the elementary school.

Family life keeps Cathy busy with husband, Anthony, and two girls, Lisa and Casey. She is also involved in the Quail Run Garden Club, the Indian Springs Women's Civic Club, Valley Elementary School PTO and Room Mothers' organization, and her ladies' card club.

Donna Richardson is a very busy gal. She was recently appointed National Convention Co-Chairman after serving a short time as National Social Service Chairman. Convention planning is certainly not new to her since she served as the 1978 Local Convention Chairman in Natural Bridge.

Donna has always been active in sorority since her initiation into the Alpha Lambda Chapter at Radford College. She was pledge class president and editor. She is a member of the Roanoke Alumnae Chapter and has served in several offices.

Donna has worked for several years with a career education program in Bedford County and presently teaches sixth and seventh graders science and social science. She enjoys athletic events, needlepoint, sewing, and swimming.

The Executive Inn The Stars of Alpha Sigma Tau will be in Nashville at the 24th National Convention this summer and will be staying at The Executive Inn located on Murphreesboro Road. The Inn is located only 12 minutes from downtown Nashville, 8 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Opryland and the Grand Ole Opry, and 18 minutes from Vanderbilt University.

The Executive Inn has 300 high-rise and garden-style rooms and suites which overlook 3 swimming pools on 10 spacious acres. It is set up with several buildings and gives everyone a chance to get some fresh air as we go from meeting rooms to our sleeping rooms.

The inn has a cafeteria, a restaurant, and gift shop on the premises and is also convenient to walk to several eating establishments such as Red Lobster, Denny's, pizza parlors, and burger shops.

Airport transportation is provided free of charge in addition to a Courtesy Van for transportation to destinations in the immediate Murphreesboro area. If you choose to drive to convention, parking at the hotel is plentiful with no charge.

Alpha Sigma Tau is looking forward to seeing you as a Star in Nashville at The Executive Inn.

The "Tei-A-Friend" brochures contain phone listing for troubled youths to call for help with various problems. The program receives over 600 phone calls per week.

Making things for the Sorority Sampler occupied fall meetings. Over 500 was raised by selling Christmas ornaments, picture frames , needlework , soft

Lobbying

by June A. Elder Reynolds, National Membership Development Chairman When President Kennedy was a Senator, he defined lobbying as "efforts by which various groups or individuals attempt to secure the passage or defeat of legislation. " (Kennedy, Congressional Lobbies: A Chronic Problem Reexamined , 45 Geo. L.J. 535 (1957)). The pocket Oxford Dictionary defines lobbying, " ... persons frequenting the legislative, to solicit votes .. . seek to influence members of legislature, solicit members' votes."

Lobbying is simply one method by which the citizen, either as an individual or as an organized group, exercises his right to petition the government for redress of his grievances under the protection of the First Amendment. (Corwin , Constitution of the United States of America 810 (1953 ed.))

When lobbying for a group, for money or something of value, it is required under the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act (1946) that the lobbyist register a "preliminary report" and quarterly reports with the Secretary of the Senate and two copies with the Clerk of the House from whom the required blanks may be obtained.

The Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act does not define lobbying per se but discusses those persons who fall under its category . There are also a number of other Jaws that regulate lobbying. When lobbying within a State (its legislature or county governments) various states have differing laws-generally information and registration will be through the offices of the Secretary of State or Attorney General of the State.

When representing a foreign government, activities of lobbyists are governed by the Foreign Agents Registration Act and representatives are required to register through the U.S. Department of Justice. There are decided differences; the lobbyist

20

represents " domestic" principals exercising a Constitutional right; the foreign agent represents foreign principals exercising a privilege by government grace. (Simon , Public Relations Law , p . 806 (1969)) .

The lobbying effort is a multimillion dollar operation and is conducted by numerous business and corporate entities, foreign governments, many interest groups and associations of every kind as well as by individuals who work independently or with network groups of similar interest-all in an effort to persuade some legislative body to introduce or to vote for or against a particular legislative mandate they or their representing group favor. (NOTE: Many forms of lobbying may be conducted without actually being required to register; however, careful study of the regulations governing lobbying should be conducted before seriously considering representing a group in the endeavor of lobbying.)

A brief word about HOW lobbying is conducted or HOW one goes about attempting to influence a legislator. Needless to say, there are numerous ways and vehicles--it happens at dinner parties or at dinner; at parties of all kinds; through telephone calls; letters and memoranda; newsletters; through active media relations (letters to the editor, articles) ; through an effective method of information gathering and dissemination techniques and systems as well as face to face meetings and confrontation with the legislator or members of his/ her staff-especially that staff person who represents the legislator in the particular area of interest the lobbyist is working at the time.

Lobbying is an ongoing process for many organizations and/or business entities--legislation is constantly being introduced and reintroduced in a variety of local, state and federal forums . A group is either for or against an issue and voices its opinion(s) accordingly. The volume of legislation introduced in all forums has increased and appears to be continuing to increase.

An individual may also lobby for or against a particular bill or

legislation he is in favor of or against. For example, currently, there are a number of bills on issues pertaining to women currently before Congress. Some of this legislation is in various Committees, and hearings will be coming up in the coming months on much of this legislation. Should you be interested in voicing an opinion for or against some of this legislation--or any legislation that might be of interest to you -if it is Federal legislation before our United States Congress, contact the offices of YOUR U.S . Member of the House of Representatives, frequently referred to as your Congressman or Congresswoman AND the offices of your two Senators. If you do not know precisely what legislation or the number assigned a particular legislative bill, describe it as best you can ; be straightforward and state you understand that such and such legislation is about to be introduced or has been introduced in one of the Houses. Staff are generally very cooperative and will either check immediately or get back to you. Request copies of both the proposed legislation-House and Senate versions as well as any Committee Reports. Probably you may have to request copies of Committee Reports directly from the Committee-in many instances, the staff of your Congressman/ woman or Senator will provide copies for you; sometimes it is requested that you provide your legislator with the request in writing.

However, the staff will generally be able to provide you with the bill number and generally give you a brief description of what it entails.

After you have studied the legislative documents and made a decision as to how you wish your legislator to vote on the issue, you may wire him/her, write a letter as well as telephone the staff member or legislator--or exercise all three. It is a good idea to have something in writing even though you may also wish to speak in person or on the telephone to the legislator or hi her staff. Also, contact all members of Continued on pag 30

How to write clearly

by Edward T . Thompson , Editor-i n Chief, R eader's Digest. R e printed with permission of

International Paper Company from the series of the "Power of th e Printed Word."

If you are afraid to write, don' t be.

If you think you've got to string together big fancy words and high-flying phrases, forget it.

To write well, unless you aspire to be a professional poet or novelist, you only need to get your ideas across simply and clearly.

It's not easy. But it is easier than you might imagine.

There are only three basic requirements: First, you must want to write clearly.

And I believe you really do, if you've stayed this far with me.

Second, you must be willing to work hard. Thinking means work-and that's what it takes to do anything well.

Third, you must know and follow some basic guidelines.

If, while you' re writing for clarity, some lovely, dramatic or inspired phrases or sentences come to you, fine. Put them in.

But then with cold, objective eyes and mind ask yourself: " Do they detract from clarity?" If they do, grit your teeth and cut the frills.

2. Start where your readers are.

How much do they know about the subject? Don't write to a level higher than your readers' knowledge of it.

CAUTION: Forget that old-and wrong--advice about writing to a 12year-old mentality. That's insulting. But do remember that your prime purpose is to explain something , not prove that you' re smarter than your readers.

3. Avoid jargon.

Don't use words, expressions, phrases known only to people with specific knowledge or interests.

Exa mple: A scientist, using scientific jargon wrote "The biota exhibited a one hundred p~rcent mortality response." He could have written: "All the fish died. "

Follow some basic guidelines I can't give you a complete list of "dos and don' ts" for every writing problem you'll ever face.

But I can give you some fundamental guidelines that cover the most common problems.

1. Outline what you wa nt to say.

I know that sounds grade-schoolish.

But you can't write clearly until , before you start , you know where you will stop.

Ironically, that's even a problem in writing an outline (i.e. , knowing the ending before you begin) .

So try this method: • On 3" x 5" cards, write--one point to a card-all the points you need to make.

• Divide the cards into piles--one pile for each group of points closely related to each other. (If you were describing an automobile, you'd put all the po~nts about mileage in one pile, all the pomts about safety in another, and so on.)

• Arrange your piles of points in a sequence. Which are most important and should be given first or saved for last?

Which must you present before others in order to make the others understandable?

• Now within each pile, do the same thin~rrange the points in logical, un derstandable order.

There you have your outline, ~eeding only an introduction and conclus1o~ .

This is a practical way to outlme. Its also flexible . You can add, delete or change the location of points easily.

in the outline? If it doesn't, should I add it to the outline? If not, I' m getting off the track." Then , full steam ahead-on the main line.

7. Be as brief as possible.

Whatever you write , shortening-condensing-almost always makes it tighter, straighter, easier to read and un derstand.

Condensing, as Reader's Digest does it, is in large part artistry . But it involves techniques that anyone can learn and use.

• Present your points in logical ABC order: Here again , your outline should save you work because, if you did it right, your points already stand in logical ABC order-A makes B understandable , B makes C understandable and so on. To write in a straight line is to say something clearly in the fewest possible words.

• Don 't waste words telling people what they already know: Notice how we edited this: " Have you ever wondered how banks rate you as a credit risk? ¥eulffievJ, o f co urse, the.t it' s sef!'H~ colilbination of faets-al:lo.ut-yGbl!' ~erue , yeUJ job, and st>

Wriringclearly mean.s awidingjargon. Why didn'r hejusc say: ''All chefish died!"

4. Use fam iliar combinations of words.

A speech writer for President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote , "We are endeavoring to construct a more inclusive society."

F.D.R. changed it to, " We' re going to make a country in which no one is left o ut. " CAUTION: By familiar combinations of words I do not mean incorrect grammar.

That ~an be unclear. Example: John's father says he can't go o ut Friday. (Who can't go out? John or his father?)

5. Use " first-degree" words.

These words immediately bring an image to your mind . Other words must be " translated" through the first-degree word before you see the image. Those are second/ third-degree words.

First-degree words face stay book

Second/th ird-degree words visage, countenance abide, remain, reside volume , tome, publication

First-degree words are usually the most precise words, too.

6. Stick to the point.

Your outline-which was more work in the beginning--now saves you work. Because now you can ask about any sentence you write: " Does it relate to a point

01"t. Butactuallg; /llany banks have a scoring system .... " • Cut out excess evidence and unnecessary anecdotes : Usually , one fact or example (at most, two) will support a point. More just belabor it. And while writing about something may remind you of a good story, ask yourself: " Does it really help to tell the story, or does it slow me down?"

(Many people think Reader's Digest articles are filled with anecdotes. Actually, we use them sparingly and usually for one of two reasons: either the subject is so dry it needs some " humanity" to give it life; or the subject is so hard to grasp, it needs anecdotes to help readers understand. If the subject is both lively and easy to grasp, we move right along.)

• Look for the most common word wasters: windy phrases.

Windy phrases at the present time in the event of in the majority of instances

Cut to now if usually

• Look for passive verbs yo u can make active: Invariably, this produces a shorter sentence. "The cherry tree was chopped down by George Washington." (Passive verb and nine words.) " George Washington chopped down the cherry tree ." (Active verb and seven words.)

• Look for positive/ negative sections from which you can cut the negative: See how we did it here: "+fie answer does not .feSt will, careles5L ress or it 1 competence. It lies largely i!J':._having enough people to do the job." iS • Finally, to write more clearly by saying it in fewer words: when you've finished , stop.

Sigma Chapter

State University, Buffalo When it comes down to successful rushes and pledge periods, Buffalo State's ASTs, come out on top. Because of the dedication of all the sisters and a great Pledge Director, Tricia Toomey , the Sigma Chapter now has a total of eleven girls in the Eta pledge class. Not only is the number substantial, but the motivation and closeness of the pledges is very impressive.

The sisters worked at a Haunted House to benefit Multiple Sclerosis. Members even dressed up as monsters! Other responsibilities were being tour guides in the maze and collecting tickets at the door.

Not only did the girls have a blast, they also helped the Multiple Sclerosis chapter reach their goal of $10,000.

A new project for Sigma Chapter is " Image Day." Every Thursday members will be wearing AST colors.

Zeta Tau

Longwood College After a successful rush under the leadership of chairman Donna Braden and cochairman Jeannie Breckenridge, the Zeta Taus added ten new pledges : Alice Bougie, Teri Caswell, Ellen Cykowski, Lanette Ezell, Anita Hall, Beth Herberger, Mariana Johnson , Karen Long, Diane Smith, and Melissa Wagner. Pledges were welcomed by a surprise party at a log cabin on a nearby lake, and at pin pledging they received their big sister through a special ceremony.

The pledge class made enough money selling doughnuts to purchase director chairs and a cake for the chapter. They presented a skit expressing their feelings about being a part of AST and then presented the gift and cake. The best pledge award was presented by Pledge Mom Sharon Harrup to Teri Caswell.

The big news on campus, however, was that Zeta Tau hosted the 1981 RLW the weekend of November 13-15. The workshop was attended by National President

After the pledges received their bids the members took them to the cam'pus cafeteria (a long standing tradition to show-off the new pledges) , then the pledges and members all attended the UCA football game together. Later, the pledges were given a Hawaiian party by the members to welcome them to sorority life.

Upsilon Chapter started the pledge program by having the pledges pick their big sisters. The big sisters also wrote a " motivating" letter to their little sisters not to be opened until the girls were feeling discouraged.

Upsilon is also stressing scholastics. The pledges have study hall once a week and we have set up tutoring sessions between members and pledges who are having trouble with their classes.

ASTs and representatives from the Student Nurses Organization co-sponsored a two-day certification course in CPR But that's not all! A local public television station , WQLN in Erie, Pa., was having their annual telethon to raise funds for programming. So, the sisters volunteered to spend three nights answering telephones and accepting pledges. Another effort to become more noticed and involved in the Edinboro community was the development of a card section at football games to cheer the Fighting Scots on .

At formal rush this past fall , the Alpha Taus adopted the theme " Drop Anchor with AST. " Pinning and ribboning yielded two new pledges, Mary Kodrowsky and Tammi Bovee.

Lobbying takes place all of the time in all forums of government and business. Though technically, it is not always called " lobbying" one is always influencing another in one manner or another in the professional and social world . An opinion UNVOICED is hardly going to be heard-the old adage , the squeaky wheel gets the grease" is a reminder of what lobbying is all about.
