Carrie Chapm4n Catt Has a Bi rthday

NUMBER 3

Following action by Convention last June, Pi Phis all over the country celebrated the eightyeighth birthday of beloved Carrie Chapman Catt, Iowa r, with fine press articles and special meetings of active and alllIll!llE groups. Giving special prominence to the event, Mary Elizabeth Lasher Barnette, editor of From Pi Phi Pens, met and talked with Mrs. Cat! in New York on her birthday, and gives us the result in her section of this issue. Pi Beta Phi was delighted to honor Mrs. Catt, on as she said herself, "the first 88th birthday she ever had!" Truly hers has been and still is, a wonderful life of service-w h:tt a joy her memories must be!

Again of Wa r Service

. Still war records of Pi Phis continue to come in for inclusion in the national record of the Fraternity These should be sent to the War Work Committee of last year, to be included in the long list of over 6,000,000 hours of work given by Pi Beta Phis, and to share in the Fraternity's "Well Done!".

We Apol ogize

On page 277 of the December ARROW, two organizations are confused-the money voted by Convention was given to the organization called "Save The Children ," not to "Foster Parents Plan for War Children" as mentioned in the first paragraph of the article. The remainder of the article is correct, and tells of the work done by individual clubs and chapters for the "Foster Parents" organization prior to the time of Convention. The confusion existed only in the mind of the ARROW Editor, not in the handling of the fund, under the direction of Ruth Barrett Smith, former Grand Vice President.

Of P anhell en ic T hinking.

During the biennium when the national chairmanship of National Panhellenic Conference is being held by Amy Burnham Onken, it has seemed fitting to devote feature space in this issue to topics of general fraternity interest, especially to the two subjects which are being most generally discussed-<ieferred. rushing, and racial discrimination. In order that our members may be informed as to the fraternity viewpoint, here for you to read are articles taken from other magazines, written by real authorities.

Let's be well informed on these subjects! Only so may we defend our position in the face of present.day criticism.

T owards N ex t Con vention

So many letters have come in expressing the reaction of members to the Swampscott Conven· tion-so many people express appreciation for work accomplished by Convention, and many even want more time devoted to strictly hard work- and yet how they loved the play! Two extracts from letters pleased us especially. One Came from Laurie Pritchard, Virginia r active member, hard· working and clever assistant editor of the DailYI who said, "If you are a newcomer to Convention, you Itave probably never seen so many Pi Phis, old and young, in your life. Their pins gleam from

their dresses, for it is a very hot day and coats are absent. There are diamond, emerald, pearl, plain gold, and even enameled pins---<l greater variety than can be found on a Balfour price list. And of course, there is just as great a variety of people---beautifuI, intelligent, inspirational people who wear them."

Another girl said, ''I've begun already to save my pennies so that I can go to the next one, too!" and from Ina Hileman, Iowa A, who couId not attend, caroe a fine letter : "Pi Phis everywhere who could not attend the 1946 Convention have surely been thrilled with the reports of delegates and the account of Mrs. Hagee in the December ARROW. To many readers, no doubt, the outstanding picture was that of the always glamorous banquet, when six hundred Pi Phis stood to honor Miss Onken On her twenty·fifth anniversary as Grand President. Many, many more would liked to have sto04 with them . For tho se years of fine service and devotion during which Pi Beta Phi has continued steadily ahead-for keeping alive always the ideals of Pi Phi, by constant effort and example, we are all deeply appreCiative. Lucky Pi Phis to h ave such a leader !"

Mary Thompson Reid

First editor of the ARROW after its publication was moved to Michigan B in 1894, Mary Thompson Reid, Michigan B, a notice of whose death on September 27, 1946, appears in "In Memoriam ," laid the foundation of much of the ARROW as we know it today, when she originated features which have lasted through the years-such as Pi Phi Personalities and What a Fraternity Girl Thinks (the latter too often crowded out and no longer a requirement). Mrs. Reid edited the ARRow for three years . She was always active in alumm. work, and was charter member of two alumna: dubs, the original Chicago dub, and Detroit, where she made her home. She was president in Detroit when that club assumed responsibility for the Michigan Beta House Fund, and was president of the Michigan B Association. The present editor of the ARROW acla)owledges the debt of the magazine to Mrs . Reid , and has often found inspiration in her editorial writings in those more than fifty year old iss ues.

HOLT HOUSE

Holt House Has a New Committee

Four entirely new clubs were designated by the 1946 convention for membership on the Holt House committee. During the summe.r each of these clubs was asked to appoint one member to represent it. Those appointed were: Matilda Jordan Lippman (Mrs. F. P.) of Springfield, Missouri ; Hazel Murdock Murkland (Mrs . Philip) of Beloit, Wisconsin; Katherine Stump Nail (Mrs. Vernon) of Iowa City, Iowa ; and Mary Legg Bohan (Mrs . William) of Galesburg, Illinois. Ruth Wiley Woodward (Mrs. Jack) continues to represent the Monmouth club.

Mi ss Onken was present for the committee's first meeting, held at Holt House on February first. In spite of a severe cold wave nearly everyone was present. The committee voted to install additional storm windows, to paint the roof as soon as the weather permitted, and to make a few other minor repairs and improvements. Mrs. Nail was elected chairman, and Mrs. MurkIand . treasurer. Mrs. Woodward acted as secretary for the meeting.

Mrs. Nall is not only capable and efficient, but she has had considerable experience in house management, acquired through her work with the Iowa Z Advisory Board and House Corporation. She has a very real affection for Holt House, a fact which is gratifying to aU those of

us who hold as precious this memorial to our Founders.

Mrs. Murkland needs no introduction to the fraternity. Sbe is well remembered and bighly esteemed by all those who have met her at national conventions and worked with her during her years of service as a province officer.

Mrs . Bobao bas bad previous experience on the committee. She once represented the Monmouth club for a short time, when she was a resident of that city.

Mrs Lippman has been a loyal and entbusi· astic member of her own club for several years. in appreciation of tbe fraternity's designation of Springfield for membership on the committee, one of that club's first official acts, at tbe beginning of the club year, was to donate an antique platter and fitcher for Holt House, as a memorial to one 0 its best loved members.

Mrs. Woodward will continue to attend to all local matters pertaining to the house, and to advise with Mrs. Carey who has been engaged to continue in her pOSition as receptionist.

All those who have served Holt House in the past-whether for one year Or six years--retain a lasting affection for the house. The new committee has their sincere good wishes, and the assurance of their willingness to assist in any way that they may be needed.

Other resolutions call upon member fraternities to initiate programs of organized chapter house discuss ions in the ir respective chapters in an experimental way; allirmea the policy of the National Interfraternity Conference in respecting the integrity of chapters and individual memberships of fraternities belonging to the Association of Education Fraternities ; expressed to the presidents, deans , and other educational officers present at the conference appreciation of their attendance, hearty cooperation, and leadership in promotin,g fraternity on their respective campuses; paId tribute to Chairman Maurice Jacobs and others who made the conference a success.

The initial session of the conference heard Chairman Maurice Jacobs, Phi Epsilon Pi, give an impressive review of the activities of. the Executive Committee and conference offiCials. He opened his address with the following statement:

"The problem is no longer one of survival, but of properly integrating this large student body into our present fraternities."

Later in his address he commented as fol· lows:

""After Mrs. Glenn Frank had spoken at the University of Minnesota, a check was made to determine whether her preseoce had in any way affected the fraternity SItuation on that campus, and we were/leased to find that in no way had she disturb< fraternity loyalties. The Frank furor has passed in the night, like other attacks on the fraternity system.""

The Gold Medal for Distinguished Service rendered ""to youth through the American college fraternity" was bestowed upon Lloyd Garfield Balfour following the luncheon Friday afternoon. Albert S. Bard, Chi Psi, gave the citation. Mr. Balfour is a former national/resi. dent of Sigma Chi Fraternity an was twice chairman of the National Interfra· ternity Confereoce.

the educative program of the college was brought out io a report of the law committee by its chairman, David A. Embury, Acacia. (Mr. Embury was later elected new chairman of NIe.) He stated that out of two hundred and seventy-four replies there were only two that could be labeled as definitely aotagonistic to fratemities, whereas the great majority indicated definite approval of" Greek-letter orgaoizations.

One of the things which fraternity men need to do, according to Dr. Edgar J. Fisher, Alpha Delta Phi , assistant director of the Institute of International Education, is to make sure that .the fraternities contribute very definitely and 10 new ways to the fundamental academic purposes of the colleges and universities . One of these ways, h e pointed out, was to help larger numbers of foreign students to come to the college campuses by providing board and room for them, thus enriching the life of the chapter through the cultural and educational contribution that they might be able to make. Another way he suggested was occasionally to entertain foreign students in fraternity houses. He reported that between forty and fifty thousand students from all over the world wanted to attend educational institutions this year in the United States.

Chester W. Oeveland, editor of Th. MagaZine of Sigma Chi, was honored at the dinner meeting of the College Fraternity Editors Association, Friday night, in recognition of his tweoty-five years of service as a fraternity editor. Speakers at the dinner included Milton Caniff, who gave preview sketches of the new strip which he is to syndicate at thebeginnin/l of the year, and George Starr Lasher, edttor of The Rattle of Theta Chi. According to the custom established a year ago, Mr. Oeve/and was presented with a sterling silver bowl.

A high tribute was paid to fraternity men by Dr. H. E. Stone, dean of students at the University of California, in discussing "the veteran in college fraternities."" He stated that the contribution of fraternity men in the late war has never been questioned; in fact, it is recognized as outstanding and that fraternity men ranked high when leadership qualities were evaluated among young officers. In conclusion Dean Stone said: "We have

before us the opportunity truly to make the fraternity a vital part of the educational institutions in which it functions and a vital force in state and national inBuence_ If we help crystallize this wealth of maturity, experience, ability, and attitude, we have within Ollr grasp in the present and immediate future, the golden era of America n co llege fraternities; moreover, the opportunity is OU[S to make fraternities a vital force in restoring democratic ideals in America as an essential to American leadership toward world peace:-

The committee on chapter house discussions urged m ember fraternities of the conference to initiate programs in their respective chapter houses on an experimental basis and recommended continued study of tbe project.

The frat erniti es were defended by the committee of public relations against the charge of being undemocratic. It said in part:

'"This charge is based entirely on the fact that we are selective organizations, but even the most liberal sociologists state that group life is essential to society and that all forms of organized group life must necessarily be selective, if they would be effective. The intimate association of congenial men with a common purpose which is bas ic to fraternity life is essential to its solidarity and therefore to its capacity for constructive action and influence. Moreover, the right of selection is inherent in a democratic society, and it is illogical to label a democratic right as an undemocratic practice.

"If the fraternities will join hands in changing their rushing techniques radically, your mmmittee believes that much of the charge of undemocracy and snobbery will die a natural death. We recommend a study on the question

with a view to concerted modification of our present procedures.

" The great strength of the fraternity is its unique character as a socializing agency, for so· cial competence, which means the ability to work with and to assume some degree of lead· ership among our fellows, contributes quite as much to successful living as does academic com· petence. The colleges are recognizing this, as well as the potentiality of fraternities close cooperation with the colleges. We should be fully aware of the significance of the tendency, and shape our policies and procedure to the end that we may play this important role in th e educa· tional program to the full extent of our ability, because in so doing we shall not only be serving the colleges better but we sball be contributing infinitely more to the personal development of our members. The more closely we weave our own design into the pattern of the educational program, the greater the good that will accrue to us on the campus, and once established there, it will gradually spread until it blots out the present wave of criticism.

"In identifying our objectives with those of the college we need to be on the alert for one thing. The more the mllege recognizes the po' tentialities of fraternity life the greater responsibility will it assume for its proper functioning. But we must take the initiative in assuring the proper functioning of our own organizations; for that constitutes self government, which is basic to fraternity life. Else the college will have to step in, as it is already threatening to do at several institutions , and we shall then have regimentation, and our fraternities will become the tool of education, not its adjunct."

" FRATERNITY MAXIMS I"

YON Gel 0111 of FraJernill WhaJ Y OII Pili Inlo II

By JOHN O. MOSELEY, :!; A E,

This is the number one maxim of fraternity life. It is obvious and trite but worthy to head the list of this new series of Grulu Say columns because of its universal acceptance and familiarity.

This fraternity saying was told to me as a pledge . Probably nO pledge has ever failed to hear it in some form many times before he was initiated_ Nevertheless, four aspects of this fundamental truth are generally neglected in pledge training.

Firsl, what do you expect to get out of Fraternity? If you are looking for social prestige, academic ease, political peeferment, residential co nvenience and sensual enjoyment, you may indeed find all of them , and yet Fraternity will to you be but a name.

Second, what do you expect to put into Fraternity? If you put in conceit, superficiality, snobbishness and intolerance. you are going to get out a very selfish, narrow minded , dom· ineering, shallow individual. Alas! This is the

President, University of Nevada phase too often neglected by our pledge trainers .

Third, you get MORE out than you put iri. This also is seldom fully understood until too late. All of the energy, ski ll, time and devotion given freely in the name of the cause is compounded again and again in the building of a character and personality designed for the achievement of happiness.

FOllrlh. The least understood truth of thls maxim is that if you don't invest what you have, in the end even that which you have will be taken away. Like the fellow in the parable who hid his talent in the ground for fear that he would lose it; you will, if history means anything, most likely end up by being no fraternity man at all. Scan your alumni lists to know the fate of the active brother who just belongs. In fraternity too, he who would have his life must first lose it, in order that be might have it again and have it more abundantly.

From One Man 's Opinion , Banta ' s Greek Ex change, April , 1946

By ALVAN W. DUERR

SHOULD FRATERNITIES RELINQ UIS H THE RIGHT OF SELECTION?

Attitudes and regulations aimed at racial and religious discrimination, designed originally t o be concerned only with employment, are being applied mo re and more to social relatio ns. ternities are thus faced with a del icate problem, which will have to be handled with real tact. so as to steer a straight course between their unquestioned rights and increasingly articulate opinion .

Let us begin with some definitions. To discriminate against means to make an adverse distinction; but as popularly used it is merely the cry t h at is raised as a last resort by so m eone who does not obtain something wh ich, under the circumstances, he had no right to expect. It is always helpful , when the expression is used , to discover which of these tions applies.

INHERENT PRIVILEGE

It is inherent in a membership organization that it has the rigbt to establish its own rules of eligibility, and admit only those who qualify

under those rules, whether financial, social, geograpbical, political , racial , or religiOUS. But on the other hand, the college has an equal and prior right to determine what organizations shaU be allowed to fu nction on the campus. That is why we are in a defensive position. The on ly way out is the one tbat Lincoln used w hen he received a complaint that Grant was a whisky adclict: wield such an influence on the campus through developing the social competence of our members, and so being a primary educational force, that n Oone will care how we select them, and will be interested only in the brand of whisky that seems to be so effective.

A MIsCONCEPTION

The criticism that fraternities discrim inate racially and religiously is founded on a misco nception of what constitutes discrimination . The basic need, and therefore right, of successful group-living is personal congeniality. This is a right because men thrive best in a congenial atmosphere, and no one has ever challen,(ted the privilege of the individual to select hIS own friends. Any basic differen ce in opinion or taste

or standard-no matter what its nature or source--may destroy this essential atmosphere of congeniality in the chapter house, and so destcoy the solidarity of the group and its capacity for constructive influence . This is as true when the division is between playboys and purposeful students as whec it is between men of different race or different religious belief.

AMERICAN INTOLERANCE

We are not tolerant in this country of people who entertain any type of belief that differs radically from our own. It is not so long since we pilloried atheists, although we were indifferent deists or Christians ourselves . .An unsuccessful drive was made to defeat Taft for the presidency because he was a Unitarian; one of the ablest and most typical Americans rather recectly was defeated for the presidency on the score of his religion. Fraternities are not responsible for this spirit of intolerance , but fraternity men do inherit these same prejudices, and it is doubtful whether the average chapter is mature enough to control them. And it is this same spirit of intolerance, extended from a difference of belief to a difference of privilege, which lies back of all this agitation about social democracy and alI the charges of discrimioation.

The situation is aggravated. moreover, by a natural tendency, found in every type of organization and business, on the part of people of one persuasion or interest, when elected to membership, to want to bring in others of similar persuasion or interest. And not on the score that they meet the qualifications for membership in the organization, but herause of their extraneous tie with the proposed randidates . In the chapter, that leads to division , and such divisions have wrecked many a chapter. To avoid that is not discrimination; it is a realistic and sensible approach to the task of a congenial membership, securing its solidantyt and assuring some promise of constructive usefulness.

To take extreme examples, what would have happeoed late in 1941 to a chapter which had a number of nazi sympathizers in it, or to a California chapter with a goodly number of Japanese? That problem was not solved successfully even by our government, nor by most of our mature men and women; what right have we to expect young boys and girls to solve it?

COLLEGE YOUTH Is DEMOCRATIC

To attempt to force this issue of religious and racial intolerance on the college campos is a serious mistake, for two reasoos: First, college youth does not lead or mold public opinion in

this country. That is one of the weaknesses of our educational setup. that ours is th e only important country in which great youth movements have not sprung from the colleges and universities. Secondly, the colleges do not ex· ercise moral and social leadershi p even in their own communities, but are all too prone to fol· low the lead of their clientele. Consequently , to use the fraternities as a guinea pig for a social experiment for which they have no means of securing support in its many ramifications be· yond the campus wiIJ meet with little success, even though no invasion of rights were in· volved. This is particularly true in the section of the country where our most serious problem of discrimination arises.

College youth is democratic, as is all youth. But neither can be made more democratic by nat, nor by confusing democracy with con· geniality, nOr by calling the right to choose one's own friends discrimination. Let us as· sume that someone succeeds in making a sorority initiate a colored girl, what will have been acco/llplished? A whirl·wind of resent· ment and a deepened prejudice in groups which no one has yet prepared to take a broad view of human worth .And where does the girl stand with these same groups? Isn't her membership going to bring her more hurts than pleasure in the years to come? Is that going to help anyone or any cause? Wouldn't refusing to initiate her be the greater kindness? It is tragic, but people are often cruel in their thoughtlessness, and any remedy must be applied at the source rather than SO late in the process. No wise man would force an issue unless he could control every stage of the procedure.

If fraternity membership is to be used as a vehicle for proving that the American people have been cured of their prejudices and intol· erances, the experiment is doomed to failure , just as prohibition failed to demonstrate that the public had lost its appetite for something stronger than near-beer.

The college's function is to educate, not to regiment or coerce. You cannot legislate morals, and this is a moral question not social; conversion is indicated. .And when the college, through precept and practice, has changed the thinking and feeling of alI its component parts -faculty, students, clientele-realistically and justly, the relations between students of alI colors and creeds will gradually adjust themselves accordingly

SOPHOMORE RUSHING

(Mr. Bard'! 1.4/1., 10 Ih. Amh.,!1 G'a4I1Aul Quarterly)

SophOJDore rushing has been tried over and over again. In many institutions ,it bas beeo abandoned, practically always with the approval of the fa.culty and administration. At Dartmouth, where the system has survived for many years, opinion seems to be divided. It is a fact, however, that under a system which gave freshmen a year in which to organize themselves , small groups of six to ten would shop from fraternity to fraternity at Dartmouth seeking the best terms for admission of the entire group. The situation became a scandal.

Amherst men may be interested to know that at Williams. where conditions are similar to those at Amherst, and where a study similar to that at Amherst was made of fraternity conditions and criticisms, sophomore rushing was recently considered and turned down by the Williams trustees. The grapevine says that only one trustee favored it. Some 32 years ago Williams had experimented with a system of delayed rushing-until Thanksgiving of freshman year. After three years the period was shortened, and after fuether experience again shortened. Recently a committee of alumni and faculty, as part of a carefully considered report on student scicial conditions at Williams (including a progeam for the fraternities) which received IInan;mOil! approval olh.,w;u, recommended by a divided vote (14 to 10) that rushing be postponed to sophomore year. But so strong a case

was made out by the minority against the proposal that the trustees refused to repeat and extend the earlier experiments. They rejected sophomore rushing. I wish this minority argument-which persuaded the Williams trustees of the invalidity of the recommenclation-might be studied by Amherst men. It exposes the superficiality and falsity of many of the claims made for sopbomore rushing which are stated in the May Qllarl.,ly.

Sophomore rushing, like all systems of postponed rushing, flouts its own professed reason for being. The system is urged in order to allow the fraternities to become better acquainted with the freshmen, and to allow the freshmen to become better acquainted with the fraternities. But always in the same breath a rode of insulation is set up. Freshman acquaintance is not to be cultivated. Freshmen are to be herded together as much as possible, and association with them by sophomores and upper dassmen is largely interdicted. Oass spirit rs to be cultivated in freshman year-a spirit which is aSsumed to be wbolly admirable and which, once engendered, i. supposed to persist. The Williams College study cites the ract that at Williams class spirit reached its most frenzied forms during a period of early fraternity rwhing, concludes that there is no relationship between the two (a conclusion also reached in studies by the National Interfraternity Con-

ference), and expresses some skepticism (eming the wholesomeness of excessive class spirit, with its cane rushes, dass rushes, and similar excitements to concentrated class sentiment. So fae as class spirit is desirable the report suggests correct and relevant ways of cultivating it.

You may say that this interdiction of acquaintanceship bctween freshmen and the general student body may he directed against rushing only; that is to say, that it is only against bidding and pledging, not the cultivation of good will on either side. The conclusive answer is that the system does not and wili not work. Bootleg rushing and pledging by students and alumni will prevail. It is impossible to draw the line between comradeship and rushing, or between discussion of fraternities (of interest to both parties) and rushing. "Understandings" will he reached and carried out.

At Wisconsin, where the system was on trial, a committee of three alumni and faculty memhers, spent a futile year with almost daily discussion of whether particular acts were or were not violations of their rules. This testimony comes from an Amherst alumnus who was a member of the commi ttee.

Off·rushing is generally regarded as undesi rabie, especially when participated in by alumni. Summer rushing by undergraduates and alumni is in this class. Sophomore rushing will breed extensions of both these methods.

But a fundamental vice of sophomore rushing lies not in minor factors, nor in the imperfection of its working, but in the fact that it sets up a system where the contemptible moral standards of the bootleg era will inevita"ly prevail. •

The temptation to violate a rule of law, even though it be a moral obligation, in order to indulge a loyalty is one the world is familiar with.

A second fundamental vice in sophomore rushing lies in its disregard of certain principles recognized in the excellent report on Amherst fraternities made in February, 1945, by the Committee 00 Postwar Fraternities. I quote

from that report:

"The modern college program seeks the full development of its students, not only academi· caHy, but physically, morally and socially as well. ... The fraternity is a part of this broad educational program, . . . it should be judged for what it is-one means of satisfying the need and demand of the student for human relations with his fellows on a basis acceptable to him."

Are not these considerations as applicable to the freshmen as to the other classes? Indeed, are not the freshmen in special need of the feel · ing of possessing an anchorage and of "belonging"? Are the ephemeral groupings and organizations which will undoubtedly seek to spring up among the freshmen in the absence of solider and more traditional affiliations as desirable for them and the college as the established frater· nities with their alumni relationships and national supervision, incomplete and imperfect as the latter may be, and now to he supplemented and fortified at Amherst by college supervi. sion?

Now that the college proposes to interest it· self in the social and mortal development of its students unsatisfactory conditions should disappear automatically, without the college going afield in search of arbitrary remedies. If we are to have fraternities--and we should-the college should not seek to repress them with procrustean mayhem; but should help them do a better job, including, and especially in, the freshman year. At two points the fraternity is better than the college. It is the consensus the country over that social and moral conditions in fraternity houses are generally better than in college dormitories. And the fraternities traditionally do put the brakes on freshmen, even when released for upperclassmen. With a steady and persistent external stimulus to wholesome student self-government, which the college now promises, the fraternities should better their performance, including their help in the orientation of the freshmen.

EXCHANGES AND COLLEGE NOTES

EDITED BY NITA DAY CARMAN, MINNESOTA A

The general themes of the magazines of the twenty groups of the National Panhellenic Conference are 1. Careful scrutiny and improvement of rushing pro· grams 2. Greater cooperation between member groups and college administrations 3. Expansion 4. Philanthropies. Interesting. isn't it? That practically all of the sororities have one or more philanthropies and there are none among the men's fraternities. Here are some of the newer projects.

Alpha Phi plans to give financial support, education, and volunteer service work in Cardiac Aid with the rheumatic fever child- rheumatic fe'ver which kills more school age children in the United States than any other disease.

Alpha Omicron Pi is continuing the contributions to the American Friends for the feeding of children in Europe and also frontier nursing in Kentu cky.

Delta Zeta will help with the support of a small child home in Netherlands and supply layettes and infant's wardrobes to other needy areas. be,ginninjt with the gift of 1,000 to be distributed in Norwav. with Mrs . Harold Stassen as honorary chairman .

Kappa Delta has given subscriptions to the Digesl for U.S.O. Clubs also Marine libraries for ships at sea a nd has a repatriation fund for their own Kappa Deltas.

Beta Sigma Omicron's aim is to increase the 10 bed hospital at Pine Mountain Kentucky to beds.

The new project for Kappa Alpha Theta is the institute of Lojtopedics at Wichita, Kansas, an institution where those who have speech defects can go for help. They also have interested themselves in the Foster Parents plan for war children and pJacing memorial libraries in the Merchant Marine.

Sigma Kappa has voted to dedicate itself as an organization to continuous service for those who served us. Definite details are being worked out as to what line this will take.

Health fund at Berea College is the Theta Upsilon project

To y carts f or children's hospitals is a new alumnlJ! project of Phi Mu .

Alpha Xi Delta has contributed one hundred bi· cycles for the use of sen-ice men during their medi· cally enforced vacations at redistribution centers and rest camps.

Delta Gamma's are doing outstanding work with aid to the blind

Delta Delta Delta's project is United China relief Kappa Kappa Gamma has a projecf in France. and has shipped '.000 layettes for Norwegian babies. Another interesting project which is promoted is a home for alum or. Kappa has paved the way with the Hearthstone in Florida. Alpha Phi now has its Forgetmenot Fund which will eventually be used to make a home for Alpha Phis. Alpha Chi Omega has a committee investigatin,g sites and homes for this purpose.

Conventions in '47.

Alpha Gamma Delta in Banff in July.

Alpha Chi Omega at Chateau Frontenac in June. A cruise convention with five days at Manoir Richelieu on the St. Lawrence will be an innovation planned by Alpha Xi Delta for June.

Kappa Delta Golden Anniversary Convention will be at Virginia Beach in June.

Phi Mu is establishing a S 1000 edu,ational scholarship as its major philanthropy.

Alpha Delta Pi has awarded its third Int ernational Fellowship to Miss Contos of Athens. Greece. Jt seems fitting that the latest recipient represents Athens. first cultural cente r of the world.

Recipients of Theta's foreign fellowship holders a re Dr. Johanna Hudig from the Netherlands and Marta Ossa from Chile.

Newest recipient of Alpha Delta Pi's International Fellowship award is Louise Tulichon of Beirut. Lebanon, who was the featured speaker at the Fellowship Dinner durin,g their convention at Estes Park last July

What can the fraternity do for the university?

1. Make the chapter strong in itself.

2, Promote leadership training within the chapter.

3. Cooperate in university and community projects.

4. Support and strengthen the Interfraternity council. Encourage alumni interest in the college.

Arrowcraft Shop, which pro · time in conjunction with the University of vi des the materials, pays the weavers for their Tennessee, a summer workshop in handicrafts work, and sells the weaving, has grown into a and community recreation on a college level. business supplying between weavers Plans are now under way for the third session with all the work they can possibly do.

Weavers come in at the side door with woven things which we inspect while checking in. Supplies are given out and orders given for replenishing stock room needs. By appointment, weavers use the warping board in the shop for making their warps. Warps are carefully weighed and recorded to make possible figuring of costs. This is the time and place, too, when new designs are explained to weavers, or inexperienced applicants ace interviewed and started with work.

This department continuaIly checks the thread supply so that production need not be stopped for want of materials.

After they are checked in, woven pieces are tagged with cost and selling price and placed on the stock room shelves, ready for the sales rooms and shipping department. These shelves, incoming orders, and the reaction of the public in the sales rooms, give the cue for further production.

The business office is the final link in the cycle-close to and with its thumb on the entice situation . The reason for weaving at all determines the kind of weaving one does and the limitations . Our weavers provide our shop with woven pieces. They want to weave rapidly to increase their pay checks. The more streamlined the details, the better the checks. Natu.rally, this makes for efficiency in techniques on their part and throws the responsibility for planning and creative designing to the weaving supervisor.

While the responsibility for rlanning and designing is almost solely that a the weaving supervisor, the weavers learn to appreciate lovely color combinations through their constant use, and sometimes develop interesting designs on the ends of their warps on whjch they are encouraged to experiment. This becomes an opportunity for discovering talent.

D esigners who are concerned exclusively with expression have the sky as their limit in choice of materials . Because after all. for them there is complete virtue in making something different each time they weave. They need not be concerned with limitations encountered in production . They may gather up interesting bits of aoything whatsoever and weave a beautiful article completely satisfying as the only one of its kind.

As a designer, I must know that my materials will be available in quantity. That is always the control for me. So, often the finished design bas become a more subdued simplified edition of its original conception. Which, of course, may malee it much better.

My own approach is this; I keep in mind what article I must plan. However, for a time

and as far as possible I try to forget the problems of production. Believing that materials make their Own good suggestions. I sit at the loom and have a good time with a variety of threads, particularly those of interesting texture and color. I do not even bother with good selvages because threads must be easily taleen out while trying out different effects. At this stage ideas come with free manipulation of materials. So. in trying out threads and the possibilities of the threading of the warp on the loom, I am making many short samples which I cut apart and mount in samp le books with loose palles of oale tag.

Quite likely one of these samples already is satisfactory above all others. Then it is the one to us e. Otherwise, it may be that parts of two will combine to advantage. Or, perhaps another will be exactly right when simplified .

When co lor, texture. material are all very satisfactory for the 'article, then the article must be planned correctly to size and shape and a sample made up---<:omplete. While making the sample. production problems such as these must be met:

Is or wil! the material be available in quantity ?

Can substitutions be made without sacrificing too much of the original appearance?

Have we weavers who will be able to and willing to do this work?

Who will do the necessary stitchery?

Has the cost for materials and work been figured to avoid future com plications?

Can we expect to use a reasonably good selling price?

Is the new article lovely only in the eyes of the designer or wil! the public buy?

Has each possible detail been planned previous to produ ction?

Weaving for Arrowcraft often involves several members of the same family. The warps used by our weavers are always long, usually 66 or 78 yards. Many weavers malee their warps on the warping board furnished at Arrowcraft Shop, bringing one or two people to help. Generally this means that sisters, mother and daughter, or even husbands come to help.

To really be convinced that it is fun and important to weave, one must want to know the skills-namely, preparation of the warp and loom. The reward of independence and confidence is won if interest in the final achievement is great enough to gn through the less interesting part of the whole procedure. It is like playing the piaoo, if the preparation has been good the piano playing wiIl be a pleasure. Having mastered the skills, momentum of interest carries the weaver forward. new de-

signs are created, more articles are completed and this means more cash income to enrich their lives and open the way to higher standards of living.

Miss "Georgie's" Afghan

Mrs. Georgia Duffield weaves all the afghans for Arrowcraft. She also manages the Arrowc raft Shop at the Mountain View Hotel. When she was asked what inspired her to combine the lovely colors and create the beautiful designs she uses, she wrote the following letter to me.

Some years ago, I remember picking up a magazine, and came across an article about the old fashioned crocheted or knitted afghans. The article went on to say, "if you have one tucked away in an old trunk in the attic, bring it out where .t will find its place among other fur· nishings of your Early American home."

The thought came to me-"why not weave one. instead of knitting or crocheting an afghan?" The impulse to do this grew stronger and stronger, until, finally, my hundred year old loom began weaving back and forth threads of color-no pattern, except what came from something inside me-a desire too strong to be contro lled , until stripe after stripe, and co lor after color was born. It was like some living thing-truly a part of me.

I can't explain my feeling for color. I only know it comes from deep down in me some · where-the way I used to feel when I sang my old Southern ballads. I guess you'd call it "Temperament. " I must explain that when I was forced to give up my singing, I was driven to lind something to take its pace. So I found the loom and now I put into my weaving the somethi ng I used to put into my singing.

The old loom has been discarded, but not forgotten, as it nOw occupies an honored comer

in the old log cabin on the school grounds, which the Pi Phi's use as a museum. In its place in my little Arrowcraft Shop at the Mountain View Hotel, is a beautiful new loom; solid, hand-turned cherry-a gift to me from a friend. The teee from which it was made grew high up in the Great Smokies.

A poem, copied from the "Christian Index " and said to be more than a hundred years old, expresses most beautifully, the way I feel about my weaving:

WOlving , Weaving

FROM PI PHI PENS

Edited by MARy EUZABETH BARNETTE, Ohio A

Both pen and voice, guided by a keen mind and a progressive spirit, have been the tools used by Carrie Chapman Catt ·to achieve many ' Iong denied rights for women. By virtue of her successful fight in behalf of the voting· privilege for women in the United States and abroad she has earned the ,gratitude of all

womankind, and for her still continuing fight for world peace she deserves the support of all mankiod . For these reasons and because her birthday , January 9, has been designated as Olapter Loyalty Day for Pi Phis everywhere, it is fitting that this column carry some of her messages.

The firmness of her voice, the erectness of her carriage, and the clarity with which she remembers the l'ast and perceives the requirements of a peaceful and civilized future belie the eighty-<:ight years for which she was honored at a birthday dinner given for her by the American Association for the United Nations at the Hotel New Yoel<, in Januaq. Pi Phi allllIl!lr in New York were given a similar opportunity two days later when they eotertained her at a tea.

The following statements, which New York's daily newspapers published in extensive articles covering the il.il.UN dinner, indicate the responsibilities which Mrs Catt believes women should accept along with the rights for which she and others of her generation fought .

She urged the women of the world, "each and every one of them," to become soldiers for peace, declaring that the best way to avert war IS not to be prepared for it, but to oppose war preparation.

Recognizing that this is not an easy task, Mrs. Catt asserted: .. It will be a great, tortuous effort to persuade the masses of people that war should be stopped, that it can be stopped, and that it will be stopped when they are ready for it:'

In a further statement she explained her beliefs regarding the causes of war, saying:

"Everyone is asking if the United Nations is going to be able to stop war. I think it will not stop war unless something bigger and stronger makes it move faster than it now does.

"There is one cause of war, to my mind, and that is the rivalry and competition in armaments between nations. When one nation goes far enough in armaments and the other is afraid of it, out of the confusion then arising comes wac:'

Pi Phis can well be proud of the bond that joins them to Mrs. Catt, who has distinguished the fraternity by her membership and who has alway! worn her Pi Phi badge whenever she was opening an important convention or association meeting. They can be equally proud of the United Nations scroll which Thomas J. Watson, president of the International Business M.chines Corporation, presented to her for her devotion to the cause of world 1'<"ce and her efforts on behalf of international cooperation.

And, they can agree with Mrs. Eleanor Roosewho in paying tribute to the pioneer suffragist, said:

"I think it is wonderful, Mrs. Catt, that you can look back and feel you have accomplished so much not only for your country but for countries throughout the world. In our hearts, we give you our gratitude and respect and deep admiration...

On • more personal level, it should be of de-

light her fraternity sisters that, though viWly actIve In national and international affairs, Mrs . Cart has maintained an unllagging interest in Pi Beta Phi , which was known as I.e. Sororsis when she became a member . To this reporter she expressed her particular satisfaction 1Q the work accomplished by the Settlement School, saying, "1 think the Gatlinburg development has done more than anything else to give Pi Phi the standing it has today."

Indeed, Carrie aapman Catt is a Pi Phi who has given far more than lip service to the fraternity's ideals, who in fact has made them an essential part of her life's work.

Listen to every wocd of the criticism. Is it honest? Then apply it to your part of Kappa Delta-first of 11 to yourself. then to your chapter, then to yOUt Panhellenic. Change what needs chan,q:ing. Keep what is worth keeping. And remember that 50 loD,lil: as one group on yow campus deserves the criticism, there is work for you to do. The many are judged by thefew.

excessive burden-in fact is no burden, and would be cheap at double the price. Wbere else in the world today will SO little buy so much for SO long?"-H. Seger Slifer, Chi Psi , chairman Committee on National Fraternity Costs.
