On Checking Membership

Grand Council urges that all alumn:r clubs make a careful c heck on new members coming to their clubs, by writing to Central Office where any doubt exists a s to their status. There have been several cases where dismissed members who have not been reinstated have joined alumna! clubs and have enjoyed full membership privileges-a nd it is always within the limits of possibility that stra ngers might see the notice of a meeting and try to attend it, even if they h ave n eve r been members at a1l! Membership in the national Fraternity and affiliation with its alumna: dubs is a privilege to be treasured and guarded.

Of Com'e ntion

Again Convention has come and gone, with all its interests and its pleasures-this time the largest ever in point of numbers, and one of the most enthusiastic. It was besides one of our best managed meetings , with everything running smoothly and graciously, under the management of the truly charming and capab le general Committee-Virginia Bra ckett Green, Indiana Gamma, Guide, Mary Covert Prichard , Chairman of Regi stratio n , Ind iana Alpha, and LaVonne Larrison Mannfeld , Indiana Gamma. Other c hairmanships were assigned to the clubs of Delta Provin ce and to Loui sv ille , and too much (ou ld never be said in praise of all the fine work thos e c hairmen did and the wonderful results of that work-they gave to all present a wonderful experience. And we look back on it, the keynote was friendliness of the kind that rea ches out to everyone and makes everyone happy. So many features were of sr,ecial interest, can scarcely name them all! Dr. Smith's truly inspiring presentation of raternity as he sees itjust the frank discussion we need most; Anne Guthrie ' s colorful picture of the United Nations ; Gladys Nail telling u s of Holt House and showing us pictures of it ; Marian Simmons bringing close to us the past of Pi Beta Phi ; Ruth Smith's Settlement School night, with its "Information Please ," and the singing of the two children from Gatlinburg-a ll these were lovingly planned and beautifully given-and besides we had model pledging and initiation, with lovely Evelyn Enteman as our new siste r, and la st of all the brilliant ban'1uet, thrilling with its display of the beauty of a thousand Pi Phis, in a setting of flowers and mirrors. Th e best thing of all during the whole Convention, we thought, was the tine part singing of Pi Phi songs, under the remarkable leadership of the National Music chairman, Dorothy Vale Durand. More than a word , too, should go with the thanks of the Editor of the ARROW to Ruth Wilson Cogshall and the staff of the Com Daily-we lik ed their work SO much that we frint elsewhere in this issue Mrs. Cogshall's report following Convention , to give a picture 0 the joys and sorrows which the publication of the Daily always entails for those girls hidden away in their office who teU you all about what happens.

For all this, and much more, the Editor of the Arrow expresses h er appreciatio n . Th e f ull story of Con ve ntion , with some of the tine pictures whi ch were taken there, will appear in the n ecembcr iss ue--wa tch f or it.

01 Reports

Thi s is s ue contai ns as al ways the enti re text of all officers' re ports, toget h e r wit h the minu tes In full of Conv enti on and of Grand Coun c il meeting - it co nstitutes a full hi story of the work . ing of the Fraternity during the period sin ce the l ast Conventio n . It merit s your very ca refu l reading, jf we are to make of Pi Beta Phi the exceptionally well -informed body of wom en we want it to be.

Welcome

Greetings go to our newest c hapte r, T ennessee Gamma , at the Univers ity of T e nnessee, at Knox vil le . They have made a fine start on their fraternity exper ien ce, with the attendance at Convention of severa l of their c harmin g gi rls , and al so of Peg Ward , Indi ana Gamma , who had charge of their co lony, and who will be with them again thi s year.

By the time this issue is in your hand s. anot h er new chapter will h ave bee n installed - Washington Gamma , at the College of P uget Sound , at Ta coma, W as hin gto n. To this group and to Tennessee Gamma . goes th e warmest of welcomes from the Fraternity at l arge.

And while we are talking of welcomes, let's greet also the new alumna: clubs which have been added to the roll since the last Conv ention , and wish for them much h appy work for Pi Beta Phi

Pi Beta Phi Fellowship

For the year 1949·50 the Fraternity will offer one graduate fellowship with a va l ue of $500 T h e fellowship is open to any of the Fraternity who has received her ba chelor's degree, r. nd it may be used at any university which offers spec ial opportunities in graduate work along the lin e desired by its hold er.

Two points will be conside r ed by the Grand Counci l in awarding the fellowship : sc hol ast ic standing and all-around development of ch aracter with its resultant abi l ity worthily to represent the Fraterni ty. Each applicant must stale definitely the university she wis hes to enter, the courses which she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of he r g raduate study.

Appli ca tions acco mpan ied by photographs of app li ca nts, tra nscripts of co ll ege grades, creden· tials from co ll ege professo rs, and other recomm e nd atIOn s, must be In the hand s of the Grand Presid ent not later than J anuary I , 1949.

All material mus t be co ll ected by the ap plicant and submitted as a who le. Bl ank form s for a ppli cation for th e fellowship may be obtained from the Grand President at any time II she so desi res, any applican t of former years who h as no t receIved the fe ll owship may make a new application.

Rushing-Again

Again comes time for rushing - we've said so mu ch about it that perhaps we need only to say now, please read, or read again , the editorial on page 350 of the May ARROW!

To all chapters and clubs at the beginning of another year, all good wishes for a h app y IOd successful year .

Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Home

Chairman

MRS ALFRED E. GIBSON SHAKER BoULEVARD

CLEVELAND 20,

OHIO

DEAR FELLOW ALUMNAl:

We bring you the important news that tentative plans for the Pi Beta Phi Alumn:r Home, on which Mrs. Middleton and her committee have worked so faithfully these past two years, are about to take a more definjte form. Alumn:r delegates at Conven · tion overwhelmingly approved the idea of the Home and expressed themselves as willing to work for its accomplishment. All responsibility, for plans , work and funds will be in the hands of the Alumn:r and anyone of us can feel that she may at some future time, be grateful for its shelter. No move will be made toward its actual con · struction, however, until sufficient funds are on hand to insure its being begun with dignjty and carried through with sureness and satisfaction.

Pi Beta Phi has demonstrated what it can do by jts long and outstandjng record of generosity and co·operation at our Settlement School. The AI umnae Home will func· tion directly with and for our own members and should give us a very close personal feeling of responsibility and sympathy.

The Cleveland Alumnae Clubs feel themselves grea tly honored that Convention has intrusted to them , for the next two years, the planning for the Home and the raising of necessary funds. We CarLnot do it alone. All Pi Phis must pull together. We bespeak your support in money and ask for ideas for plans and construction. We shall keep you informed of developments

NOlhing il Worth Ih. Bui/dill!!, UlllelI Ihe Builder Aho GroWl

By JOHN O. MOSELEY, K l:, Prelidenl, UniVerlil] of N.vada

An era of building is upon us, Every fraternity man from the top national officer to the youngest pledge is faced WIth a question, his answer to which discloses his true character and affects the future of his fraternity: "Are you building a fraternity house or a fraternity home?"

I am thinking of two types of fraternity structures : the one built outright and handed over to the occupants with no effort on their part ; the other brought into being only after long con· tinued planning and mutual sharing of faith and works by fraternity men of vision who see in it not just satisfactory housing for the group living in it at the time but a vital factor in the development of a great and lasting fraternal organization.

Many wise fraternity leaders-actives and alumni-regard their chapter's home as belonging to every member of the chapter-past, present and future. Therefore every man living in it is reqUIred to .contribute an equal amount of money and labor toward its erection . repair and upkeep and the financing of the next structure. A pig content to wallow in his pen has no gratitude for the past and no thought for the future. II fraternity home consists not only of brick: and stone, but of every prudent plan. loving care and sacrificial act of devotion put into it by those who are building NOT JUST II PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN but at the same time MEN FIT TO LNE IN IT.

Fraternity is not a matter of rituali sti c impression Or the taking of solemn oaths ; it is a way of life It co mes as the result of close association, of sharing one's hopes and fears , of working side by side with others intent on a common goal, of finding pl easu re and satisfaction in the same effort, in knowing each other in the give and take of everyday living and thereby building mutual respect and affection .

It is humanly imposs ible for the great majority of individuals to develop deep, abiding friendships with many persons at th e same time. When a g roup exceeds 50, its e ffectiveness as an agency for real frat ernity diminishes . Thus the present situat io n is most unfort unate, for th e re is no other agency in college which has been as success ful in the past in building the type of friendship that persists through life.

Today some pled ge delegations are large r than a chapter should be. Th e members of a chapter olten do not know their fut ure broth ers even by name . They freely confess that it is too d ifficu lt to get acquainted with so many Thus th e fratern ity ch ap ter becomes merely a club, with all th e cas u a l charac ter of a loosely·knit group.

MESSAGE OF GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi Bela Phi Fraternity:

Phonest basis and th at all of th em f ace the drinking problem, which is now so Areat a one in Ameri ca n

ERI IAPS you will remember that, at the conference society, on a more intelliJ:cnt and matu r e level. I last fall of the Int ernational Counc il of Women, feel that sororities have a unique opportunity to hold its president , Baroness Soel of Belgium, set as the their members to standards of se lf contro l and ternth e me for that first meeting in eight years dis- perance and good socia l usage and that they can justify (upted by war, " The Power and Respon s ibility o f themselves in the minds of a somewhat critica l public Freedom ," and said: " M e n and women who have jf they will do this I had a very fine reacti on. Anya lway s liv ed in freedom are unable to apprec i _ thin g which th e natinna l officers of th e sororities can ate the treasures they posses s, the power th a t i§ theirs d o to build up this kind of att itude in their chapters

Do you rea li ze what th e word freedom m eans to those will be imm easu rably appreciated by those of us who who have been deprived of freed om, once or severa l are st r uggling to maintain safe and sa n e social times in th e course of their liv es, and who have had standards on our campuses." The s upport which Pi reaso n to fear that darkness had blotted out the l igh t B eta Phi chapters within their own ,£troups give to the forever? H ow have you / o ltghl to enjoy the rights standards of the fraternity is reason for great guti6cathat a,.e YOU,.s today-and that it seems so natural for tion and pride; it shou ld comp lete, however and you to have ?

Never, in th e experience of the Grand t remend ous influence against the (orces which are President, has NADW made its appreciation for promoting the cheap and ugly and dangerous customs frat e rnities and for their support which they give to which too often even among the men fine educational and socia l standards so evident. At and WOOleD who should be: training for self control Goucher College, however, the long-feste.ring question and standing immovable aga.inst the pressure for ways as to whether o r not fraternities would be allowed to of life which from the beginning of time have brought continue when the college was completely moved to with them unhappiness of the bitterest kind The the Towson campus was brought to a head when one distinguished. D ean of on one of ou r greatest fratemity insisted upon a direct and definite statecampuses, said this spri ng : "J have no very specific ment f!"Om the Board of Trustees. The Trustees apsuggestions for anyone chapter but I would like to pointed a faculty committtt whose report was un· have you know that I appeared this week before Pan· favorable to fraternities and the Trustees an n ou nced. hellenic to ask that a ll of th e soro riti es o n this campus that when the co ll ege was completely located at Towhelp in setting the social standards on a dignified and son there would be no place for frate.rniIY chapters.

The 6rst announcement that chapten could continue if they wished to do so but could not pledge any more members was rather quickly follo9.N by one sayinA that they could both continue and pledge and initiate if they wished. All chapten, as a Panhelleni c and individually, voted to continue active. Since the national fraternities repr esented at Goucher -A (' 4., A +, l1 1', r + B. K A 8 . and n 8 cJt..had agreed at Colorado that they would act as a group in this situation, all were contacted and a de6nite decision was made to continue all chapters and to work together to make the Pan hellenic and interfraternity relations effective. The Board of Tru stees indicated that they anticipated moving the college in its entirety to Towson within the nerr three or four yHrs but other fraternities have reported that it s«ms most improbable that the removal will be completed in less than eight or ten years. CeMainly there seems a good cha nce that before the date of the removal, there will have been a change of attitude on the pari of faculty and Board which will mHn that fraternities may, even then, remain a part-a nd a grea tly needed part. as they now areo f G oucher. The Grand President is reminded of two experieoces in connecti o n with a nti -fraternity action Some years ago, the President of a State colle,lte told her th at he had been approached by a. Legislator who said that he was going to present an anti-fraternity bill to the Legislature and added that he was on the support of this College President. The President replied : "You will not have my support because if frat erniti es are not an asset to any campus the fault lies with the college administration." This past spring, when she was on a campus which two years a80 had a student vote on the question of dis co ntinuing frat erniti es on th e campus-a vote which was strongly pro-fraternity-the Dean of Women said that on the day when the vote was to be taken, she suddenly realized wrut was happening and said to her. 'ielf: "What if fraternities are voted off this campus? \'(fhat would I do? I'd have entirely to my campus! Now I can talk with one .Rirl a nd reach and get resu lts from a larg e percentage of my student hody. What will I do, if fraternities a ren 't continued!" It is the responsibility of every Pi Beta Phi chapter to make certain that its Dean of Women can fee l as sure of the coopera ti on and support of no t only the Pi Phis but all fraternity members as did that Dean . Opposition cannot thrive in th e face of constructive results brought about hy fraternities.

Pi Beta Phis should be aware of a serious recent development, however. TIle force5 which a few years ago first began to attadc fraterniti es on the basis of their se lecting their own memb 'rr-a right which is assurtd the peop le of a democracy and one whi ch fraternities assuredly have because of th e ir wise choices and constructive rC'iults-see m to have found that opposition from the outside based on this charge is provi ng slig ht and not e ffective Now they have turned to a more- <; u!'tle a nd much mare dangerous plan; they are attempting to destroy fraternities from wi t hin On a number of colleg e campuses, within the past few months, agitations have been raised to try to get either administrative decree or Panhellenic action which would demand that no chapter of any fraternity be allowed to exist on the campus if in its printed regulations or in its practices there was anything which restricted membership to anyone or a few ra ces or religions. Inves tigati ons have proved-and this is not surmisa l, it is far/that in all but one CaR the agItation has been insti. gated by persons working under the direction of

Communist groups in ew York and financed, most generously, by them. Man y idealistic fraternity mem bers have hem inAuenced by the propaganda, which claims to be inspired by love for the underpClvile.lii;ecI . because [hey have not kn ow n the source of the a,5l:itation Or realized that the IOterest of is in its own ends and not in individuals. The F. B.I . has warned America that the Commumsts have a definite program which calls for the of colle.Re men and women in its Support. Communists know that when they appear under their own banners they do not attract the normal colleAe student so they are now infiltrating other organiza ti ons, hidinllt their purposes under a cloak of idealism which the history of the party proveo; is never practiced when it is in power, and bringing into play one of the most dangerous situations of all time for America On the campuses where the recent agitations have been fostered , chapters have been ur.lii;ed either to insist that th eir national fraternities remov e all restrictive re}!;ulations or to ignore them locally_ What better way to destroy any organizatio n than to preach deliberate disregard for the poliCies and requiremenb of the institution which people joined because they knew that it was good and which was J:ood because of its policies and methods! Pi Beta Phi has no reBulatlons which set up racial or restrictions for membership but it believes in its ri,lotht to include only the people who, in its opinion, will be ab le to work constructively and happily with the fraternity not just on anyone campus but within the enti re fraternity and it believes that any fraternity which wishes to set up specific regulations governing membership must be supported in that right . The 1946 Convention went on record as believing in and promising suppo rt to the statement of ri,;hts issued by the Interf raternity Research and Advisory Council. The experience of th e past two years makes it increasin.Rly e\'ident that it is only as American college students <;tand firmly for their right to choost their friends and exercise their democratic rilltht to free assembly that they can meet their responsibility to defend the American way of life from its greatest enemy_ fra · ternities as such are, of co urse, not the maj o r target of Communism; they are a practice target, important in themselves but most important because if one democrat ic institutio n can lx- destroyed, the entire structure of America will be irreparably weakened . Pi Bua Phi must not fail to make itself felt for true democracy!

A conventIOn mus t be a time when th e fraternity reviews its past and present if it is to be- one when it plans constructively for its futur e. Because present policies limit so greatly the number of reports which are actually presented to Convention, th e office rs whose reports art: read must, nec essa rily, .Rive brief analyses of the departments which a re their spt:(i:d province. Since the Grand President has the of working close ly with Province Presi dents and active chapters, she can repo rt with pride and ,lltratifi· cation that the ac tive chapters, durin.!!; the interim between conventi o ns , have held high places in the esteem and confidence of th e ir co lleg e deans. ad · ministrators and st ud ent bodies The rec o rd of campus service given and honors received is a distinguished one, as a study of chapter deleAates' reports will show. Fo r the year 1946·47, six teen chapters-two more than for the immediat ely pre· ctding year- held nrst place for the entire year on their comparative scho larship li sts, 5e\eral others held that plOice for one term or semester. and thirtyfive ot h ers held places in the upper third A,I!:ain, how

evcr, four chapters were lowest. scholastically, on their campuses, a r ecord unworthy of them and inexcusable in any Pi Phi chapter. It is always a temptation to pass on, just as th ey come in, the reports of Deans for th e way i n which their respective Pi Phi chapters have me'lsured up to their responsibility for helpful· ness, dependabi lity , democracy, et hical st anda rds, bus in ess responsibility, socia l adequacy, participation in campus act iviti es. and scho lar shi p Respect for the co nfiden ces o f the deans, however, makes it impossi ble to do mo t e than say that no fraternity, the Grand President i s sure, holds a high e r pl ace in the esteem of college administrators. Dean after Dean wro te "very good" after all headings or said thioJi;s like : " 10 each of the e ight respects the Pi Beta Phi s merit the highest ratiog" ; " There is 00 liner group on the campus in every way than the pj Beta Phis"; " I am grateful f or the cooperation and standa rds of Pi Beta Phi "; o r " I am sure you can see what an asset th is grou p is to our camp u s." ]n these days when gracious living is so often disc o unted a nd careless social act io n s get by, it seems especiall y gratifyin,R that Dons s ho uld have sai d : " I am ve r y glad indeed to comment to you o n the Pi Beta Phi chapter on this ca mpu s since my report can be a very good o ne. At College Pan hell en ic meetings, the repr ese nt a tives have made fine, thoughtful contributions.

The power of Pi Beta Phi i s th e re ; the respo nsibi lity for usin,R it must be met!

As the firs t fraternity to estab li sh a nationa l phil· anthropic project a nd then to follow it with other projects such as the Loan fund and H o lt House, Pi Beta Phi has a continuing obligati on to voluntarily assumed responsibilities, greater than those of most fraternities. Surely present day Pi Bet a Phis in carrying on the service-idea l so plainly set by its Founders honor not only those twe lve beloved women but themsel ves! The spirit with which members of the fraternity have accepted new calls upon thtm for other passing nems is an amaz ing thing and ODe which calls for the deepest pride Th is hal been especia ll y clearly evident, during the past year. Because there had been such k.een interest ill the children sponsored d uring the year 1946·47 through Save the Child ren

a nd because, tOO, the need for help for them was still so exceedi ngly urgent , Grand Council at its meeting in the summer of 1947 considered the questi on as to wh a t the fraternity'S policy shou ld be in rega rd to a ny altruistic propect whi ch wou ld have to b e ca rried o n in addition to the frat ernity' s own three standing prog rams of service. Its decis io n was not to take on any new project as a formally sponso red one but in· stead simply to offer the services of the fraternity if alumna: clubs and chapters wished to have these chil. dr e n in war·torn countries again helped by Pi Beta Phis That in response to only o ne letter , and that a le tter which emphasized the co nstant responsibility to the Settlement School, the Loan Fund , and Holt House. and did little more than speak of de e p sa ti s faction which had come with th e sponsorships of the year before (financed wholly by the mo ney remai ning in the Physioth erap y Fund), there should have been volun· tary contributio ns o f more than $4,SOO must , it seems, be unique in the history of any group Sixteen active chapters assumed full sponsorships costin$!; $96 foc the year, with Kan sas Alpha se nding $lOB, since evt:cy member wanted the part in the se rvice which a two dollar personal contribution meant; and thirtee n alumna: clubs took on full sponsorships , while the Charlotte, North Carolina, alumna: club led all the rest with its contribution of $300 which cared for three children for a full year and allowed additional help to another. No record is available of the many, many boxes of food, clothing. and other cheering gifts which found their way across the seas to the children in whom individual clubs and chapters felt special interest! Truly Pi Beta Phis have the will to serve!

As was said, two years ago, the ability of Pi Beta Phi to take on financial obligations and at the sa me tim e to give generously to its established projects is truly Interest in new projects should never dim the appreciation for those whose successful functioning and high services are hailed by the entire frat e rnity world-and far beyond it-as the most outsta nding philanthropic contributions ever made by any ft:lternity a nd o nes which bring prestige and favorable recog niti o n fo r frat e rnities th e world over. Mr. Lloyd G Balfour , in speaking oj the fraternities in the Na· tional (ot e dr ate enity Confereoce, has said that it is to the (asti ng discredit of th ese groups that not one of th e m has ever had a national altruistic project and that the m e n 's fra te rniti es are the o nly comparable type of group which has so failed to make unselfish int eres t in oth e r peop le--or even in the i r own unfortun ate members-evident. Nothing could adequately express th e debt which our frat e rnity owes to the vision of its lea ders who gave Pi Beta Phi its exa lted place as th e first national fraternity to establi!ih an unselfish project to be supported not through dues or fees but through voluntary contributions which came from love for the frat ernity and a desire to serve. Each of the full member frat e rniti es in National Pan · hellenic Conference now has a nationa l project of some kind in which Pi Beta Phis shoul d feel great pride ; each has been a follower of Pi Beta Phi ar d Pi Beta Phis shou ld not fail to feel here, too, the joy of leadership fo r good!

Ruth Barrett Smith, who Mildred Odell Sale as chairman of th e Settlement Schoo l Committee, during the inte rim of conventi ons, has brought to the wo rk o f th e Sett lement Sch oo l the wealth of UDder· standing, ability, and devotion which her yean of service as Grand Vi ce- President had accumulated. To these two wonderfully capable, unselfishly serving Pi Beta Phis goes the deep gratitude of the fraternity

(or work done nctptionally well. are days of transitaon and change tverywhere .so it is not stranqe tNt they Ire thaI at The Settlement School Committet!, with its wise Ippro:ach to all problems, is making the Seulffllent Schoo l :l cominued source of support for the soundest interesLS of the community and the Khool and has brought community cooperation which is reason for 6treme gntification. Changes in 1M deuils of the service given have come with the years-and should han come unless Pi Beta Phi had been content to make what it did mean nothing in the way of the development of civic pride and am· bit ion-but the basic service which fosters the best interests of each succeeding era has not and must not change if we are to worthy of our h eri ta ge at Gatlinburg , The Grand President cannot refrain from sptaking with great pride of the cooperation betWttrl the Settlement School and the University of Tennessee which has made possible the one crafts' workshop in the entire Southern Highlands area which is on a college·credit level and so, attracts not just people who like to pl:a)· with crafts and to have some w«k.s in a delightful spot but people who are teachers and vocational dir«tors and SO take back to their communities and colleges not only greater personal skill in crafts but a new vision for their work which is passed on in constantly widening circles. The work of the Settlement School Committet! calls fot. great ability as well as for symp:athetic understanding and a high stnse of obligation; Pi Beta Phi has sufferrd a truly great loss in having to rdease from the Committee, during the past interim of conventions, Mildred Odell Sale, chairman; Ann Munn, crafts director and secretary; and Emma }. Woerner, treasurer, but their successors, Ruth Barrett Smith, Olivia Smith Moore, Harriet Goodsell Rauch, and Grace Adams Gnnger, mean an assured future to this project so dear to Pi Beta Phi , The financial condition of the frat e rnity continues to be cause for the very greatest gratitude to the past Grand Treasurers. Ann Stuart and Lois Franklin Stoolman, and to their supporting Grand Councils, and to the present efficient and capable Grand Treas· urer, Lolita Snell Prouty. It is only because the fraternity has held to sound financial practices, has planned wisely, and has avoided the all too common practice of spending the money of an organization with less care than one would spend her personal funds, that Pi Beta Phi, during a period of constantly advancing costs in every department, is able to continue effective functioning without any increase in active chapter fees. A reccot report on the business side of colleges and universities said that their costs of maintenance had advanced sixty per cent in the past few years and that, almost without exception, this is meaning a serious financial problem. The same thing is true of the cost of runnin,ll: the fraternity. A study of the financial reports will show clearly that present annual income for the Contingent Fund, from which organizational bills are paid, :allows only a small leeway of surplus and that without the endowment funds , built up in the past, and without the surplus accumulated during the years when costs were less, it would not now be possible for the fraternity to function successfully 00 the basis of dues and fees which approach the minimum required by any frater· nity. Pride in the unequalled amounts in its endowment funds should not blind any member of the fraternity to the fact that, in times like these when costs mount constantly in every department and inter· est r.tes tend to decline rather than advance, Pi Beta Phi must continue to foll ow its usual sound and

conserva the prOj;ram financially and no projects which would be dependent upon fnternity funds for their support sho uld be undertaken. Only the int eres t from an endowment fund may be used and th oU interest must go only to the special purpose f o r which the fund as establishC'<!. It is well to note, too , that the surplus accumulated in the Contingent Fund ID the past through wise financial policies and meth· ods, there has been set aside more than $1 ),000 fo r a chapter H ouse Building Fund, more than $12.000 for Ho lt House, and $)0,000 for the Emma Harper Turner Fund . Perhaps few Pi Phis ha\'e thought of the loss of income for running expenses which this in· mlves, All rejoice that these thing$ h:ave been pos· sible, however, without crippling Ihe service which the fraternity gives to its active chapters upon whose strensth the future of Pi Beta Phi depends , As has been said before, Pi Beta Phi does not cons ider any one ,Plan the panacea for a ll int ernal ills but, instead, It ttles to find the one best way of assisting each new chapter and each one in need of special help . Any plan is possible of oecution, however, only because the fraternity is financially sound.

Expansion by NPC fraternities continues to at a rate probably unt-qualled in thc past. Many fraternities seem to have had no real expansion policy but widely differing plans, used from time to time, With the result that thcir exp:aosion bas been sporadic, sometimes too conservative, sometimes too liberal. For many years, Pi Beta Phi has held to a policy which recosnized both that the fraternity had developed to a place where no group should chartered merely for the sake of adding another chapte r and that to be a true national, any fraternity must represented

1widely on the campuses which attract students who measure up to Pi Phi standards and give these students an education whose value scholastically and in recognition is high. The old idea that, when there is one strong chapter, it is ilI·advised to place another chapter near it was exploded years ago when it was conclusively evident that when campuses draw from the same general stction and are strong campuSC"s, failure to be represented on one campus means a loss of strength for the chapter On the other campus, A case in point mi,(:ht well be cited in Southern Methodist University, now a big University but only an outstan4;ngly fine sma ll college in the days when Pi Beta Phi established itself there. Other large nationals found it practically a necessity to have chapters at S.M.U. in order to maintain the standing of their chapters at the Univer· sity of Texas . No longer can a fraternity succrssfully tell itself that it is a national unless it is nationally kn ow n and represented-and the two things go together, Some of the most rapidly opanding frater. nities, today, are those which {or maoy years talked of their " exclusiveness," even while they were trying desperately to get footholds on more campuses! Pi Beta Phi has, {or many years, granted charters on one basis only-a strong group on a strong campus, with local or nearby support (rom alumnr assured, During the just ending interim conventions, Pi Beta Phi has been approached by many college administra · tions, interested Pi Phi alumnr, and al.ready organized groups, By Province and Grand Council vote, it has installed, at the University of Tennessee, a colonized group made possible by the enthusiasm and hard work of the local alumnr and the splendid cooperation of the University of Tennessee , It was with a very special feeling of gratification that Pi Beta Phi's Grand Coun. cil received the unanimous vote of the chapters in Epsilon Province which established a at a university which from the very beginni n,g of the

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

To ,h, AlMm,.. of p, Phi :

IT IS not often that the Grand Vi ce President has the privil ege o f both presmtin,IC htr report to Con· vention , and at th e same time of extending a welcome to the delegates and visitors to htr home state. It is our hope that this convention will be both a constructive and an enjoyable ont, and that you will carry home with you many ideas for ways of streogtheni n,IC your clubs. and truly happy mtmories of Hoosier hos· pitality . Thi s i s the th ird nati o nal co nvention to be held in this state. Th e first meding of Pi Ph is i n Indian a w as the third convention of th e fraternity, a nd was held in Greencastlt in 1872. Tht n ext convention was held in Indianapo l is in 1906 We hope that it will n o t be anot h er fo rty yea rs befort we may again welcome you t o Indi ana.

In preparing the brief history o( the A lum n I! partm e nt, which serves as a preface to the Manual for Alu m n r Club Delegates to Convention we had an opportu nity of s tudying th e growth and deve lopment of that phase o f the fr a t ernity. One i s struck by the fact th at the growth of the Alumnr Department was not a mush room type of growth , but tha t of an o rga niuti o n growing t o meet its needs , f u ling i ts way slow ly but su rely, building a firm f o undation th a t would la st through th e years, This ha s mea nt added dignity and strength for th t frattrnity

Th e p ast two years havt not been phenomenal o nes, but they have been marked by that same steady growth. We can point with pride to an increased membership, large r a ttenda nce at mecti n,R;s, a fuller meeting of fratern i ty respon si biliti es, a growin,R; sense o f community obligations, and tM rea li za ti on of th e force for good that we as fraternity women can wield in th e w o rld today

These values have been apParetJt n o t only within o ur clubs, but in communiti es where t he re are n o clubs with the result that when numbers and circum· stances permitted they wished to be a n official part of the fraternity Within th e two year int erim between conventions nineteen new clubs ha ve been charteredeleven of them this year , Th ose chart e red thi s year are Baton Ro uge , Louisiana ; Vancou ve r, Briti sh Co · lumbia ; Ogd e n, Utah; San Bernardino, Ca lifo rni a; Shelbyville, Indian a; M edfo rd , Oregon; Crowley Ridge, Arkan sas; Osceola , A.rkansas ; Fort W o rth , Taas ; Ea st t rn M ai n e, and Bellingham.

The continued interest in t he Save the Chil dren

Federation has been most gratifying We L.no.,,' the dubs have gotten real pleasure out of this service to othen . In accordance With a decisi o n o f Grand Council last summer a committee:: as created to study the possibility of an alumna: award for s ervice to fraternity and community Ques tionnaires were sent to clubs to learn their opinions on th e various qu es tions In· volved and the report based on the will be presented to the Alumnr sion as will that of the Committee to study the pro posal of a Home for PI Beta Phis as authori z.ed by the last conventIOn Y ou r Grand Vice President could not bring this report to a dose wi th out exp r essing her app reciat ion for the many new friends she ha s made this year in serving the fraternity. The tesponsibility of directinJt and colonization of a petitioning Aroup at the Univer· sity of Tennessee was made easier by the wonderful assistance given by the Hi storian, and Delta Province Vice· Presidents, ten actives from various chapters, :lOd the members of the Kn oxville-Li tll e Pigeon Alumna: Club. Contact with thi s group and their special con· sellor, Peg Ward, Indiana E, through the year made it a very special privilege to return in the spring to install this group as Tennessee r chapter, assisted by the Epsilon Province President and Vice·President, and representatives of Tennessee Alpha and Beta . Official visits were made to Maryland A, Arkansas

The record, of which this report speaks, could oot be written were it no t for the supenor direction of the work of the clubs by our Province Vi ce·Presidents, and the Director of Alumna: Extension. I ha\' e en· Joyed the contacts with each one and wish to thank them and the Di rcctor of Central Office for t heir loyalty and cooperation . Working with the other memo bers of Grand CounCIl is a treasu red experience J shall always remember.

There is real joy in service when one is permitted to work with those whose interests one shares. The bonds of the fraternity do indeed become for alumnz everywhere the silver link, the silken tie-and when bound together by these common ideals and aspira· tions there is no limit to what may be accomplished by and for the Alumnz Department of Pi Beta Phi.

MARiA NNE REID WILD

GRAND SECRETARY

HE I NSP IRATI ON of fraternity work lies in deeply satisfying personal conhlCts, in the visio n of "( ra· te mity in action" available to the officer thr oug h in· coming correspondence a nd repnrt o; , and in the pride which she f eels in her fraternity be cause she has th e opportunity to know of the exce ll ent perfo rmance of many Pi Beta Phis, young and o ld ]n such in spiration this office r has had her full sha r e in the year just ending.

In regular line of duty the minutes of the annual meeting o f Grand Council became the first task of the 1947-48 year. A special assig nment was the reorganization of the "Po lici es and Standing Rules" so that they could be easily accessib le and understood by the chapters and Advi sory Committees. Officers and chairmen were notified of the recommendations made at the annual affecting their work. Chapters balding the coveted fraternity awards were contacted and directed about shippinA the troph ies to the win· ning chapters. These duties, with the silltnin,li; of some 1300 membership certificates , occ upi ed the time o f th e secretary until th e opening of th e school year.

The Grand Secretary complied with the request of the Provin ce Presidents fo r more frequ ent lette rs to the Alumna: Advi sory Committees and offered, in her January letter, a n ana l ysis of her findings from the 194 7 quest io nnaires . It was a rewardin g effo rt to s tudy the ninety ·two individual r ep li es and it is hoped that the committees have found the material gleaned from alumnr on many campuses practicable for use and for solving some of their ow n problems Specific problems should be discussed with the Province Presi· dent or the Grand President but we can build upon valuable experience if we use the questionnaire as a clearing house for general problems and for sugges· tions for improvement in any phase of the important service which the adult gives to the active chapter . Working with our ninety·three active chapters we have over four hundred and fifty alumnr who give of their time and their counsel. It is certain that

chapters find in the interested, und erstandi ng and active committee th e confidence and sense of security which are esse nti a l to the progress of any good chap· ter and that the cnnti nuity provided by a responsible committee is of invaluable serv ice to the chapter and the fraternity.

Closely linked with the supervisio n of the Ad · visory Committee work is the supervision of the new chapt(' rs who receive guidance for a period of two years after their installation; and of the chapters need · ing specia l guidance because of failure to meet fraternity standards. New M exico A has just completed this period of special supervisio n for new chapters ; Illinois e has another year; and Tennesset 1', installed in M ay, begi ns the tw o-year period next fall. This involves monthly reports on the basis of a specified out l ine, from the chapter president and the special adviser to th e new chapter. Pe r sonel letters acknowledge each. Because it has been her duty to supervise chapte rs under fraternity probation the Grand Secre· tary would lik e to express her pleasure in a nd pay tribute to the great bulk of quality chapters within th e fraternity. In the roll of the ninety·three there have been remarkabl y few needing thi s supervision , which means rem arkably few Pi Beta Phi chapters no t representing their fraternity in a way of which the wearers o f the Arrow may be proud.

The th ird assignment in supervisio n is actually less supervision and more particularly contact with the chairmen of all sta nd ing committees which are not specifica lly assigned to other office rs in logical associations. The material sent out by these chairmen has been studied and reports and recommendations have been carefully considered. Many of these assign· ments require hours of work, wise planning, and patience in execution. H ere again, we are impressed by the contribution of the alumna: of our fraternity, to its secUtity and its progress.

In preparation for Convention, letters of instruction were sent out to all chapter delegates regarding their

reports and to all officers and chairmen concern inA theirs Tbese repo rts were received and filed for the meeting of Gran d Council and for the Septembeor ARR.OW. By order of Grand Council and due to publication restrictions the delegates' reports will be printed for distribution at Convention. Credentials for all active delegates and their alternates are now in the hands of the Grand Secretary h was the happy privilege of this officer to be the Grand Council visitor in Epsilon Province this year, as the guest of Mi sso uri A, Band r, Kentucky A, and Tennessee A and B, Brief contacts were enjoyed with Colorado A and B and West Virginia A, and with t he aJumnr clubs of Denver, Columbia (Mo ). St.

ILouis , and South Hills Pittsburgh .

The advisory committee chairml!O, special alumna! advisers, the of chapters supervision the of chapters and their the national chairmen, and the Director of Central all cooperated so fully and so graciously that the heart is warmed in contemplation. Gratefully the Grand Secretary ade:nowl edges her debt to each one, and, to her fratemity on Grand Council for the inspiration and privilege of working with them which has made her in Pi Ikta Phi so

LUOLE DoUGLASS CARsoN

ARROW EDITOR

N REPORTING on the conduct of the of the ARROW Editor, the magazine which comes into your hands four times a year tells in part its own story-if members of Pi Beta Phi have found information and pleasure in its pages, then its publication has not bttn in vain, and the ARROW has carried out its essential mission, that of presenting a picture of the life of the Frat ernity and its members.

Most of difficulties of the war years have by now smoo thed themselves out. but others always to take their p l aces. We are still hampered because we cannot get the fine type of book paper we once since its manufacture is still restricted as to quantitymagazines of smaller circulation than Ours not the great difficulty involved in meeting the needs of a magazine which now goes to 37,000 subscribers and uses 66.H3 pounds or 1¥2 carloads of paper Even if we could get all we need, the currently-rising cost of paper would forbid ils use as a measure of economy. We have however, this year been able to get a paper of slightly better weight and finish, and in the pictures we have used, whi le fewer in number than they once were, have l ooked better. They would be better still if all pictures sent in complied with the size and finish requested-many times a hazy cut has resulted fro m making use of a picture of artistic portrait type: of a girl whose achievements see med important enough to warrant risking a poor cut.

Along with Io';eneral printinA expenses, the cost of engravings has risen a lso. The financia l statement of the ARROW will be includl!d in the report of the Grand Treasurer, and this will again this year show a deficit. This has been for the past several years made up from the contingent fund, since G r and Council has felt that the quality of the magazine could not be further reduced and still have the magazin e a worthy representative of a fraternity of the size and importance o f Pi Beta Phi. The Editor recommends that Convention give favorable consideration to the proposal of Grand Council in the recommendations which were distributed before Convention that ARROW Endowment funds over $'00,000 be used f o r investments in chapter house corporations, thus increasing the income of the ARROW for the December and March issues of this year the number of paRes wa s drastically cut, but for the May iS5UC the pages had again to be increased, to take ure of the Convention material, and to publish the long lists of active and alumn:r rushing chai:rmen, and to restore the section of pictures of honor girls which had to be omitted last year_

In the choice of material to be used, we give to articles of national or international interest. and we have this year sacrificed much personality material in favor of that which had a broader type of

interest. As always, the ARROW has tried to a picture of the life of the Fraternity, and at the same to balance serious material wi\h such lighter thlOgS as Beauty We hope that in each issue each member finds something of special interest to her, and we are grateful to those who tdee the trouble to let us know what they have liked

I n March the Editor had an especially happy contact with the Nati o nal Historian when she spent a day in Kansas City. Mrs. Simmons and her assistant, Mrs Delaney, are classifying and arranging material, and have worked out a fine system for hand ling chapter histories. Mrs Delaney 's new files make these instantly accessible and of real value, and she has greatly simpli· fied the work of the office. Plans for the Historian's exhibit at this Convention were discussed and heartily approved, and th e resulting display of precious historical material is one that eve ryone in attendance at Convention should see. With every passinA year the work of the Historian becomes more important, with the necessity o f preserving records which cannot be replaced because the people who lived whl!O the history of the fraternity was in the makinA have gone, and we can no longer depend on their m emories of events. To Mrs. Simmons and Mrs . Delaney are due the gratitude of the Fraternity .

The Committee on Publi city, under the chairman· ship of Elva Ayler Cowan, has aAain been active, and much use is being made of the material which they have sent out-it is however, not always possible to get newspapers to accept such material. A SpeCial word of fr om the Editor"s point of view ,!toes to the publicity director of the Convention Committee, whose plans for news releases are excellently worked out and should result in fine national publicity.

The question of publishing a Direct ory has been given much by the Editor and Grand Council. and one will be printed as soon as it is practicable. The- cost will hi,gh. hut seems justified by necessity, ten year period since the last one appeared has meant many of addresses. to say nothing of the listing o f all initiates of those years.

During the official visits were made to Zeta Prov ince chapters, Alabama A. G eorgia A, Florida A, B, and r, and as many alumna: were included as poswith a f ormal meeting with tht" Atlanta Club and social gatherings with alumn:r in Orlando, land , Birmingham, Tallahassee. and Kansas Gty . The Editor was happy to accept the invitation of the representatives of the Southern California clubs to attend their mening in September, to meet twice with the South Coast club, twice with Long Beach, and with Santa Monka-this last visit included dinner with California d It was again a pleasure t o be guest

of the: San Francisco BaJ pj Phis at their beautiful Founders' Day at the Claremont Country Club, with no Pi Phis from the whole Bay area in attendance, California B It 'as also a to be at home with the San Diego dub for their Founders' Day Banquet, held at the University Gub

The work of the Editor has made pleasant by the coopenation of Grand Council, with Miss Onken as always the best source of material.

From the Banta Publishing Company and

Bfrom Mr Bachmann we have had as always the finest of Special thanks lIP to faIthful Auow staff-without thnn the task of Betting out the Anow would be impossible

It has been a privilcM;C to continue to $trYC the Fraternity, and the Editor is most grateful for .11 th e assistance and the gracious courtesies n:tended to her by Pi Phis c\'erywhrre.

DIRECfOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

THIS second year on Grand CounCIl has proven to be even more insp,ring and interesting than the first year. Tht joy of working under Miss Onken 's leadership as well IS the delight of working with the other membC'rs of Grand Council la st summe r at Gatlinburg IS well .s by corresponding during the year and of being with them at ! allonal Panhellemc Conference cannOt be surpassed . Gratitude for such experiences in friendship can never be sufficiently expressed.

The year began, or ended, in June with a Grand Council meeting at Gatlinbur,A: where some of the time was spen t in the meetings with Province Pre si· dents and Province Vi ce Presid ents, th e first to be held in the interim of convention. Y ou have r ead in THE Auow about the success of that mming. It is to be that such meetings can continue to be held .

Out of the Grand Council meetin,A: came the new that a recommendation ano consent to bid for each girl pledged to Pi Beta Phi must go to the Director of Ru )h ing and Pledg<.· Tuining. This requirement has been well met.

Out of the Pro vi nce Presidents' meetings came the request that letters from national and province officers with the exception of that from the Grand President and Grand Vice President cut to a pa,A:e in length , and with that suggestion the Director of Rushing and Pledge Training attempted to comply in her cor· with rush captains, pledge supervisors, and program chairmen. The past months have been spent in preparation for comention. working with the chapter delegates, planning for th e pre·conv ention meeting of Province Presidents, and cOOlpletin,A: ar· rangements for Pi Phi Night at convention.

This officer was responsib le for compiling a Manual for Program Chairmen, and has just finished the put· ting together of the Re iS«l. Manual for Pro ince

IShe IS work inA on a Manual for l'led,.:l.... 10 workin,': un all Ihis material .nd in Out some of he r letters, the Director of RushlOA ano Pl edge TUining wishes to express her sincere gn.tl tude to the Dire ctor of Central Office and her staff fo. th eir ever·generous assistance.

There was a rather heavy schedule of tta\'e ling lasl fall when the Director of Rushin.l!; and Pltdge Train · ing visited Lambda Province, at which lime she had an opportunllY to meet the newly formed Vancouver Club in Untish Columbia, Canada and enloyed the hospitality of the alumna: at Ponland, Spokane, Mos· cow and Bozeman. It was a joy. too. on thai trip to have the opportunity of becoming acquai nt ed with the College of Puget Sound and the Kappa Si,gma Thetas, and with the son of Inez: Smith Soule. 1m · mediately following thi5 trip she loined the other members of Grand Council at Colorado prmgs to attend Nalional Panhellenic Conference of which our Grand President was chairma n This most inte.res lin.$i: and valuabl e experience as followed by a delightfu l week·end at the home of the Gnnd Treasurer when y, e had an oppo rtunity to meet so many of the fine Pi Phis in and around D enver.

It was with real pleasure that this otflcer visited informally the FebrUAry meeting of th e Montreal Club She was so rry not to be able to accept their kind invitation for Founders' Day.

With Convention comes the completion of twO years for Ihe Direct or of Rushing and Pledge Trainmg on Gr2nd Council. She wishes to thank the fraternity for the privilege of servinA Pi Beta Phi in this way. Her specia l p rivil ege been once more to have had among her duties that of assistin.R; the Grand President whenever possible.

DIRECfOR OF AL U MNA> EXT ENSION

N THIS second year in wh ic h the fraternity has had a Director of Alumnr Extension there seems to have been an increase in the duties of this office, haps because greater familiarity has brought clearer vision of its possibilities.

The year started with writing a report of the interesting conference between Grand Council and the Province Officers which was held at Gatlinburg in June, 1947. As a result of this conference, and in accord with a motion made by the Provin ce Vice Presidents, I letter was written by the Director of Alumna: Extension and sent out in the fall to the presidents of alumnr clubs, in an effort to present the four required meetings to them from a new angle. Later, the annual letter was sent to the presidents of the Pi Phi Mothers' Clubs, with a request for the list of their new officers.

The routine check of chapter reports on those de. linquent in medins their financial responsibilities was made twice during the college year, and it may be well to note here that chapters do no t yet fully under· stand that they musl report, regardle55 of whether or not they have delinquents.

This year there has been a gratifying number of new clubs, eleven in all, with the honor going to Kappa Province of sta rting four Th e sweep of our whole country is show n in the li st of the names: Eastern Maine: Shelby ille In diana: Haton Rou,A:e.

Louisiana; Crowley Ridg e:, Arkansas; Fort Worth . Texas ; Osceola, Arkansas; O,ll:den. Utah; .Medfo rd, Ore.; Vancouver. S.c.; San Bernardino, California; and Bell ingham , Washin,gton. Inquiries from many others led to their scnt the blank application for a chane r To the newly chartered clubs have been sent greetings, with a proffe r of hel p if they need it.

Because of the illness of Lois Stoo l man, chairman of the Committee on Extension. the work of directing her committee was temporarily assumed by th is olJi(e Letters of inquiry were answered, and followed in some cases by sending the blanks on which to give information about the. campus where the interes ted group was situated.

Among other activities were serving on the Alum · nr Award Committee whose chairman was Irma Riley of Berkeley, and proofreading with the Directo r of Central Office, Gladys Scivally, the revised Consti tu · tion and Statutes when lhe proof was received fro m the printer thiS past month.

Of course constant contacts were kept With tht" Grand President , the Grand Vice Presid ent , and other members of Grand Council.

It was with the greatest of pleasure, and profit, that the Director of Alumnz Exten sion attended NPC in Colorado Springs last November. Aft erwards as the guest of the Denver AlumnI! Club. the Pi Phi Cluh I here. and of our two Colorado char-

ters, she enjo)'ed true western hospitality in Pi Phi guise.

Later, Kan sas City afforded her a most delightful week end when, as a guest of their dub for Founders' Day. she met not only Kansas City Pi Phis, but memo ben of Kansas A, Kansas B, Mi ssouri A. and Mi s· so uri r .

As before, the visiL to chapters proved a high point of the year. Alpha Ean Province supplied a series of delightful experiences while thi s alnecr was a guest of its seven chapters. Sometimes the weather failed to be pleasant and cooperative but never the Pi Phis! Althoug h the major wo rk of the year was

To Pi 8 'la Phi FratenJlly:

Tthe new Aia"lIa/ lor Social Chai,mall for act ive chapters, it proved a most interesting a nd instrU(.tive labor. The necessary intensive study of Emily Post uncovered deficiencies i n the officer of which she had been blithely unconscious these many years.

In closing, I wish to voice my appreciation of having been a national officer, with th e opportun ity to work for the fraternity with th e other officers and members. It has been a privileg e. the depth of which 1 have increasingly appreciated.

Respectfully submitted,

NPC REPORT

w o YEARS ago, Pi Beta Phi 's Panhellenic Del ega te asked of the fraternity that it give her its greatest possib le support in her difficult position as Chairman of Nati o nal Panhellenic Conference by a more complete-than-ever-before meeting of College and City Panhellenic responsibilities by active chapter and alumna! members. Today, she finds it difficult to express h e r appreciation for all that the imm ediate response to thi s requ est brought in increased by Pi Beta Phis everywhe re to th e cause of Panhellenics. She feels sure that in the joy of increased and deepened interfraternity friendships and in the gratification at seeing fraternities as such gain added esteem from colleges and communtties, these Pi Beta Phis themselves h ave found full compensation fo r th e time, ability, and hard work which they have given to Pan hellenic groups. For the D elegate, her se lf, th ei r heartening cooperation meant the added s upport and courage needed for th e obligations placed upon her by that automat ic accession to the NPC cha irm anship. This and the cooperation, too, to an amazing degree of the other fraternities which made up NPC mad e an experien ce which she had dreaded, one which she can remember with a large degree of happine ss.

Since a report of the 30th Biennial National Panhellenic Congress was se nt to each chapter, alumnae club, and officer, and appeared, too, in THE ARROW , no attempt will be made he re to repeat the information given in it. It is Olgain urged, however, that every Pi Beta Phi study that r epo rt and, if possible, the printr-d Minutes of th e Congress which were sent to the files of all offic ial fraternity grOups; know Pan· hellenic re gu latio n s a nd conditions as they are today; and co ntinue her active support for all inter-fraternity projects. The r adica l change in po l icy which admitted to National Panhellenic Conference nati ona l fraterni· ties with restricted membership or in restricted fields has broadened the service of NPC and has given recognition and coopera tion to splendid national gro ups On June I , the s ix fraternities which formerly comprised the As socia tion of Education Sororities, each individually presented statements saying that all requirements of NPC. regarding dual member ship and educational standing of campuses on which there had been chapters, had heeD met and each was then admitted to NPC as an associate member. Pi Beta Phis, as intelligent fraternity women, should familiarize themselves with the names of each of the active and associate members of National Panhellenic. The newly admitted associate members are A 4>, 4> .4 E, and l: 4 T. fraternities selectinp; their lIlWlbers from the Jewish race; 9 A, a fraternity for Catholic women; and n K 2:, A 1: T, A 1: A, 9 l: E, and 4 % E , fraternities which have up until

now had ch apters only on teach ers' college or norma l schoo l campuses. These active and associate member fraternities now represent NPC on 232 college campuses, all of which meet NPCs rcquireme nts for accreditation.

Special attention is called to the fact that, in orde r to a llow the former education groups to establis h them se lves as NPC fraternities before they had to meet competi tion from the older. estab l i hed NPC fraternities, NPC voted: "Not until January I , 1949 , s hall any overtures lead ing to futur e c hapte rs be mad e by or given consideration by any member group of NPC, active or associate, on campuses now occupied by the present AE S groups." While many campuses, which unti l rec ent years were those of tea chers' co lbut which are now es tahli shed with fu ll co ll e.'te ratings and which we re formerly closed by the NPCAES agreemcnt, are now open to NPC extension, a ll campuses on which there was even one AES chapter in Novembe r, 1947, are still cl osed to NPC fraternities until Janua ry 1, 1949. No overtures lead ing towards the establishment of a chapter may be made by any NPC frat e rnit y, through its officers, ch apters, a lumn r clubs , o r individual members. Nor may any overtures from groups on such campuses be given conside ration by any of the above li s ted representatives. Any violati o n of this NPC agreement by any o ther NPC fraternity shou ld immediately be reported to Pi Beta Phi's delegate. Many campuses, formerly closed to PC extension, are now open to it and some frat er· nities seem to be staging a real "rush" into those campuses. Some of these colleges are or will be excellent fraternity fields and will be given real consideration by Pi Beta Phi, undoubtedly, as th ey meet its requirements. As a rule, however, it wo u ld seem that the change from a teachers' collegt: to a full college or university is not a thin,'!: which comes automatically with a change of nam e and status. ChanA;C5 in campus traditions and customs, student and faculty personnels, and courses of study must all be made. a nd a radica l change normally requires time to become effective. Some plan for a period of adjustment for such instituti o ns would seem to have been a wise precaution for NPC but none has been made. Under all conditions, Pi Beta Phi's extension shou ld continue to be in keeping with its regular dignified, proven procedures.

Pi Seta Phi 's D e lega te is now serving as Chairman of the NPC Committee o n City Panhellenics and as a member o f the National Pan hellenic Conferenceational Association of Dans of Women Committee. The recent meeting of NADW gave an opportunity for a full merting of the NPC·NADW Committee which fosters cooperation between the tw o ,ltroups in the fields which are common to both, and plans were made for carrying out a number of projects which

should mean much t o both The City Pan · he.lleni c Committee who w e re present at the Nation.al Associatio n of Dean s of Wom rn meeting i nformally. at that time. also. The un limited opportunity for service which these tw o committees represmt is a challe nge to any ddegate to her best. Con ventio n may be interested to know that, on Ju ne I S, there were nin ety· nin e affiliated City Panh e ll enics, with NPC dues paid fo r 1948, an increase of fifteen since To\'ember , 1947, and that included in Ihe li st is NPC"s nrst affiliated Panhel· lenic from outside continental Un it ed States-th e W omco's of Hawaii, the J,troup of fraternity women whose .servi ce in all fie ld s du rin );: World War JI was so outs tan di ng Contacts have been established with a City Pa nh ell e nic in Ko r ea and it is hoped that NPC will soo n include its first Pan· hdlenic on foreign soil.

The ARROW Editor will repo rt to Convention on the chapters installed by NPC fr ate r· njtits since Sept e mber 1, 1947 The total number of active chapters w:\s reported as 1222 and th e total number of organized alumnI! groups, as 2237. K K r daimed the most a lu mnz groups, 244, a nd a gain during the two·y e ar interim of 7 1! Pi Be ta Phi was second in total number of alumnre groups with 2 14 but it had gained o nl y 2 new clubs The tota l memo bership of NPC frat e rniti es was g ive n as 492,882.

TWhat a for ce for good these half million esp« iall y chosen, especially tramed women could be!

Cpon t he invitation of the officers of the National Commi tt ee of College Fraternities and Societies and of the Interfraternity Res ea rch and AdVl.sory Council, your delegate attended the recent meetings o f these int er·Panhellenic groups at Cincinnati , late in April , although she is no longer officially affi li ated with either. It was especially g rat ifyi ng at the meeting of NCC F to have N ADW rep resented by th e D ea n of Women from the l ' n i\'t'fSlty of K e n tucky and to have her assu r ance th a t she will re commend to NADW that it affiliate active ly agai n with NCCFS It seems \iery importa.nt that NADW be a part ("tf this group whose purpose is " to encourage and assist all worth. while nati o na l coHege fr a terni ties and societ ies which include in their programs contribution s to the broad edurat io nal ob jec ti ves of th e instituti o n s o f whi ch they are apa rt.·· NCC FS gave specia l th oug ht. a t its re cent to the fo rthcoming edition of Baird 's M a nu a l a nd will do every thin g within its power to see th a t the material included in the book is ac· curate and dependable. IRA C reports s howed that prog ress has been made in the field of public re la ti o ns. Plan s were discussed for the first great a ll fr a ternity banque t which is pla nn ed for Cincinnati, this fall, with nation a lly kn own speakers. It is hoped that, at that tim e, th e re will be the first presentation of a fraternity award which will g o to a fir st ·generation Am e ri can of high ac hi evement s, in recognition both o f that individual" s se rvice to America and of the se r vice which the co ll ege frat e rnity has long given to American youth.

Pi Beta Phi is a recoA;n ized leader not just as a fr a te rnity among fraterniti es but as a part of National Panhelleni c Conference With a continuation of the fine Panhe llenic spirit demonstrated by Pi Beta Phis , during the past two ycars, the frat ernity itself will unquestionably mak e its contributio n to i nter fraternity friendliness, interfraternity cooperation, and fraternity prestige still greater.

In Sep tembe r a le tter went with a bu ll etin exp la ining what a ll chap. ters and house corporations mu st do to comply with federal tax regul at ions. o urs a re Not-farProfi t corporations, a blank must filled out and sent by each o o e to the Fede ral Reve nu e office eac h year

Th e M anual for Chapter House Planning and Build. ing was rev i ed and enlar ged and copies we nt to each

corporatio n treasurer. Copies of this manual may be obtained at Central Office

A second general letter was sent to all corporati o n trea surers th e firs t of January with the bla nks for the annual finan cial report due January fifteenth Thi s letter contained information about a new ruling requiring all chapters to carry some form of liability in sura nce and advising the corporations to see that th e re wa s coverag e for all workmen e mployed at any tim e of th e year. This ins urance has been of great benefit in two cases where accidents occurred to servants.

The finan c ial reports have been received fro m all of the 57 co rporations and th e $5.00 fee for the re o quired $2000.00 bond from all. Each report was acknowledged and special points discussed The re o ports s how ca reful financing as usual, but in almost a ll cases larger am o unts th a n usu a l were spent for upk ee p, improvements , furnishings, and decorating Thi'i was due t o the fa ct that during th e war years much of thi s work was imposs ible, and due al so to present high costs. Alm os t all corporations had built up funds to tale e ca re .f this added expense. In only tw o cases was it necessary to add to the in·

debtedness. A numbtr of corporations havt: plans for more extensive improvements when materials are more plentiful and costs arC' not so high.

Help was given in forming two new house corpora· tions These are for Texas Bela and Maryland Beta chapters. With the four formed last year, there are s ix new corporations since last Convention. Correspo ndence with these and several o ld er corporations concerning new houses or additions to old ones has bttn carried on. Information coocerning loans from the Fraternity and suggestions for obtaining loans locally have bem given. Greal discouragement has been met by scvuaJ groups when construction prices were learned.

The need of severa l of our newer chapters for houses is very great. Only a certain per cent, usually abou t 60% o f the cost of tilt:: huuse, can be borrowed locally on a first mortgage. Th ese chapters have not had time to accumulate much of a house fund. They do not have enough alumna! to make the selling of small bonds fea sib le They need to borrow from the Fraternity and at present not enough fraternity loans are available to take care of all the n«<ls. Fraternity loans on chapter houses are made o n second mort· gages at 4Vl%' There has never been a loss on a Pi Phi house loan Interest is kept up and payments on mortgages are made at stated intervals. On the Agenda for this Convention it is suggested that all funds of the Arrow endowment, in excess of

G$'00,000.00, be made available for chapter hou se loans . As Assista nt [0 the Grand Trea sunr for six years and Counselor for Chapter H ouse Corporations for the put two years, close touch has been kept with all of o ur house corporations and the exce ll e nt planning and careful financing done by th e faithful alumnz on the corporation boards has been followed M or t · gages have decreased and 6nally disappea.ced while hou ses were kept in good repair and living conditions mad e as attractive and convenient as possible. Many houses are still over-crowded in orde r to give as many girls as possible the opportunity of membership and to help college administrations by leaving open other housinp; for non fraternity women. If college enrollments keep to the prescnt high leve l or near it. many of nur o lder chapter hou ses will need to be enlarged or new houses built in the next few years. So both for the new chapters which n eed houses so desperately in the n('ar future, and for the older chapters that must enlarge present houses or build new ones as soon as conditions are favorable, your Counselor for Chapter H o use Corporations hopes that this Convention will read favorably to the item on the Agenda proposed by Grand Council making more Fraternity funds available for Chapter house loans

THE NATIONAL HISTORIAN

REAT improvement has been shown in the quality of the chapter semes ter histories which were submitted this year. There were (ou r which had ful· 611ed all manual requirements and were excellent in every respect Since it was almost impossible to des iAnate one as superior to another, the 6nal choice for the Nita Hill Stark Award had to be based upon minor points of superiority. Because of the very close com· petition tw o chapters have been named for first pla ce. The New York Delta history, prepared by Laura Eastman :lOd Patricia Carry, entitles Ihat chapter to retain the for the hrst semester of 194A-49. The (.'qua lly fine Colorado Beta history, prepared by Doro · thy Lough and Doris Dillon, assisted by Jean Hill , e ntitl es that chapter to receive the Vase for the second semeste r of 1948-49.

H onorab le mention goes to t....·o other chapters whose histories were in many respects equal. a nd in some resperu superior, to those mentioned above They are th e Kansas Alpha history, prepared b y Joan Gardner and Shirley Garst; and the orth Carolina Beta history, prep3red by Nancy Niles. The Kansas Alpha history was the longest one submitted and con· [:lined the most complete and ordc:r1y prc:sc:ntation of factual material. The North Carolina Beta history was notable for orderly and artistic of factual material and for excellent portrayal of chapter morale. For the second consecutive year the Illinois Beta· Delta history, prepared by Patricia HUll: and Barbara Gerth, was the most artistic one received. Failure to fulfill all manual requirements prevented this chapter from placing among the 6rst four.

The assistant national historian desires to commend the following individuals for unusual cooperation in bringing the archives up to date: Mrs Jack N. H erod (Gllmma Province President), Nancy Niles (N orth Caro lina B), Shirley Garst {Kansas A). and Shirley Evans {Indi ana r)

A letter was sent to each of the 92 chapters, li stin.2 histories which were missing from each chapter's 61e. In response to that letter 90 missing carbon copies were supplied by chap ters during the year. At present the 61es contain 1440 semester histories. 2n st ill are missinll: Twenty-three chapters now have complete files

A revised manual was issued to all chapter his-torians last fall. All chaplers are now required to use offic ial chapter history paper and binders supplied by untral Office.

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA EAST PROVINCE PRESIDENT

IT 15 with mingled pride and sadness that I make my report for the year 1947-48: pride in my seven wonderful chapters, th ei r admirable qualities and their astonishing accom plishments; sadness because I can not continue my duties as provin ce president, shou ld J be so honored.

The year started with our chapter presidents ' con{eeence at the Hotel Pioneer in Boston in September where the Balfour Cup as a Goal was used as our basis of discussion to improve and e n couras=e the Al pha East c haptees. At the dinner SaturJay nixht at the Hotel Vendome attended also by Boston alumna: and the Alumn r Advisory Committee, Erminie Pollard, Province Vice President, spoke int e restingly (0 the conference concerning a lumnz relati o ns and Beth Leroy, formerly of the Sett lement School C o mmittee gave an inspiring picture of the Se ttlement Schoo l which I wish every Pi Phi could hear. This oppo rtunity for our " iso lated" and widely scattered Alpha East Pi Phis to know each other has as much va lue as the conference discussion s; and I would recommend that in the future the conference be held ' at one of the chapter houses in th e province if it ca n be arranged. Chapter presidents who attended were Connecticut A, Jean Tice; M aine A, Elaine Craig; Massachu se tts A, Elizabeth Speight; Massachusetts B, Jeannette Cynarski; Nova Scotia A, Eileen Maclean; Vermont A, Sally Finley; Vermont B, Martha Shaw; p ledge supervisors Connecticut A, Jan H orton; Maine A, Esther Watson; M assachusetts B.

Much credit is due the alumna: for their support and interest in the chapter nearest th em. Connecticut A has o nly a few alumnI! in Storrs, but they are mffilbers o f the Hartford Alumna: Club and that can· tact with nati o nal and local affairs is of mutual bene-

fit. This year's highlight was a picnic at the club president's home In Manchester (ollo ro by installation of alumnc officers, (arewell and initiation into AlumnJe Oub. and entertainment by the actives. The chapter is still inadequately housN in the Untversity-owned house, but are pleased that th ei r hou se mother, !.tcs. Elizabeth Taylor, is returning nat year. Over crowded conditions may possibly (orce (reshmen to attend classes in the evening nex t year. Maine A is fortu n a te to have an increased number of alum· nz in Orono who are of the Bangor Alumnz Club, and give invaluable support to the chapter. Rec e nt good news informs us that the alumnr in Orono are chartering their own club and will send a delegate to convention. Thi s chapter has the use of a room in a dormitory and shares its storeroom with 2 other fraternities. There is talk of trying to buy or huild a Panhelleni c buildinA: Ma ssac husetts A has a devott'd A1umnae Advisory Committ« and ex· celle nt relati o ns with the Bosto n Alumnz Club. Th ey combined their Founders· Day observa nce in a luochton at the H ote l Kenmore. M :lsS3chusetts B has a small group of alumn:r who act o n the Alumnlf Advisory Committee in Amherst; but they maintain contact with the Springfield Alumn2 Plans for obse rving Founders' Day with them this year had to be aba ndoned The charming atmosphere o f th e ir chap· ter-owned house is enhanced by th e interest of the mother, Mrs Doering, who plans to return next year. Nova Scotia A is most fortun ate to have cooperation with their a lumnr in rushing and other chapter activities Since they haven't any meeting place or even a storage room , th e use of the homes of alumnr and patronesses is much appreciatro. We hope that this chapter will find a S:ltio;factory meeting place soon for it GIn do so much to provide real fraternity atmosphere difficult to attain without a regular place. Vermont A also ha s a small group o ( loyal alumnr who act on th e Alumnr Advisory Committee and give the chapter th eir interest and support. I reJ!ret that th e re is no chartered alum· nr club in Middl ebury for they miss much of the national correspondence and news which could be sharro with the active chapter. Nevertheless the chapter possesses a high degree of nati onal enthusiasm. They rent rooms in a college ·owned buildinA down, town but have hopes of a Pan hellenic house in the future Vermont 8's alumn:r club and M o thers' Club are large and active, and do much for the chapter in the concrete and abstract , Their beautiful house, alumnae-owned , is a treasure to be envied. and it is pleasant to know that the actives are taking a financial interest in decreasinA mortgaAe, the pledges have done some redecorating, and the alumnI!! are encouraging their increased use of the kitchen facilities to

supplement the very crowded dinin,R placM at U.V.M Rushing conditions val}' in the province Most campuses have had late rushing, but in compliance with ationa l Panhelleni c ruling. they will have earl.,. rushing next year. Conn«ticut A rushed early last year and found it vel}' satisfactory and the r es ults were excellent. They will rush early again this fall. Massa chusetu A also rushes early, but their very strenuous commuting from home to classes and from building to building with rushinA done ch iefl.,. in the crowded college cafeteria put a heavy burden on the chapter's rushing program. The Panhellenic House where each chapter has a room and two or three members living in, offers l ittle aid in rushing for it is so far from the new C.L.A. building Mas sac husetts Band Vttmont B pledged and initiated large freshman classes Vermont A was confined to a small class due to the Panhellenic quota system. Nova Scotia A rushes at the beginning o f the sophomo re year and pledged a large group this year. Alpha East Province may well be proud of its new members.

The main item of interest now is Convention. Every chapter but Maine A is sendin,a; an ahernah= delegate with the re,q:ular del egate . This is made possible through the cooperation of the other chapter members , the of luxuries by the regular the earning of money throuJi/;h various channels by chapter members, contributions of parents and alumnz, and the great desire to convention home to every Alpha East Pi Phi Alumnr Advisory Committee members and other active members from Connecticut A, Maine A, Nova Scotia A, Vermont B and Ve rmont A and Massachusetts B plan to attend • look forw a rd to renew-in,q: acquaintance$ and (raternity associations with theR devoted Alpha East Pi Phis at French Lick Springs H ote l, Indiana

It has been a and a pleasure to serve as Province President. ] relinquish my duties with hum· ble appreciation of my own fraternity membership in an orJ:anization which really inspires the cu ltivation of no hle womanhood, through development, social service, mind culture, and true friendship.

ALPH A PROVINCE WEST PRESID ENT

THIS year, 1947-48 , has Jtone by very speedi.

Iy and we now find ourselves at the point o( taking an inventory of the year's pro,a;ress . Three of my visits. those to the New York chapters, were made in November and th e two Ontario chapters were visited early in March . chapter visits. as always, were a joy and an inspiration. The personal contacts with the members mean more than all of the letters that pass back and (orth durinJt the year.

The comparative scholarship ratin As are unavail· able on two of the campuses and some of th e ratin,ftS which are to be announced later cannot be included in this report There are no firsts o n campus in scho larship in this Province this year. All of th e chapters are putting forth an effort to make a JtOOd scholastic showing. All of the chapters are backed by interested and helpful Alumnr Advisory Committee.

This year the chapters of th e Prov ince have continued to send assistance to our litlie French boy whom we adopted through the Save-the-Child Federation last year. New Yo rk I ' sent $2'.00 and the other chapters sent contributions of food or Ontario A scn t $96 .00 for the full su pport of one ch ild.

To date. a full report of the contributions of the chapters to the various Pi Phi fund s has not been received. All of the chapters had for these contributions.

The Amy B. Onken Award for this Provin ce went to Jacqu eline Fenton of New York 1' Ja cque l ine was president of her chapter for two term s and because of her fine work, her excellent example, a nd her outstanding leadership in the chapter, deserves this recognition.

J would like to some recognition to the important work done by our chaperons in our chapter houses. These women carry a great d ea l of responsibility and their example and leadership are indispensab le to a smoothly running house.

All of th e chapters have , either during th e Summer or during th e year, done redecorating or refurnishin.Q: in their houses and have made improv em ents which have been necessary and have done a great deal to build up morale. Keeping our chapter hou ses attractive and comfortable is most necessary.

Only a partial list of the extra-curricular activities can be made here, but to each gicl who has made a contribution to her chapter through extra activities goes our recognition. Fo llowing are some of the extra-curricular achievements in the province:

Ontario A ha s an editor of " The Undcr.Q:rad ·' (College magazine) There are three cla ss Pr eside nts,

IPresident of the Aquatic Club, President of Badminton Club, Pr esid ent of W . A . A. f o r Physical and Health Education; one member ex ce ls in dramatic work and another has composed songs for the University Follies.

Ontario B has sub-per-fect, which is the hi,lithest office for a woman on the campus, one member elected co the Hon or Society this year. three members on the Student Administrative Assembly and two on the University Students' Commission, the President and Vice-President of W.A . A., and 1S members who took part in a water pageant presented by the University this Spring

New York A has the President of th e new Student Union, Junior Editor of the Onanda gall (year book). executive secretary, senior guide and two junior guides on Women 's Student Government, secretary of W.A.A ., and one member who has been el«ted to three Honorary Fraternities.

HALL SIPUERD

BET A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

N LOOKING back over the year it is gratifying to realize that the chapters can be proud of their achievements and point with pride to th e ir improved rating in scholarship, well rounded activity programs, and not a few rea l h onors But probably the .Q: reatest thrill which came to the Pi Phis this year was the opportunity to have Miss Onken as their .J.:uest and have her share in their college fun as well as give them invaluable advice and inspiration I am su re that I speak for the Provin ce when I herein express our appreciation.

While I visited the Pennsylvania chapters ea rly in Dec-ember. it was May be.fore I fini!'>hed my sched ule but the chapter officers were so efficient in sending the requirm reports that I felt close to each .Q:roup until I had the opportunity 10 be with them As before, I appreciated the many courtesies extended and the hours of service rendered by the Advi so ry Committees, Alumnz Clubs and Mothers Clubs. The opportunity to share in fC2ternity development does not cease at a Pi Phi's sradU2tion.

Every chapter but one has improved its scholastic standing during the year, and have attained enviable positions o n the campus. Ohio Z again holds the. B K tr ophy for first place on the campus as a chapter, and the pledges. not to be outdone. 'Qo' ere awarded the A 0 n scholarship trophy Ohio E maintains her place as lirst among the Nationals, and Ohio B soared to second place from an unenviable

position, as did Ohio A . In every case the Scholarship Chairman ha s done a most competent pi ece of work and the chapter members have cooperated by improving individual records jf possible. Dorothy Svenson at Ohio Z was the winner of the award going to the girl whose grades showed the jitreatest improvement over the period of a year.

Emphasis has been placed on the advanla.Q:es found in a well directed activity program, and here again the chairmen are to be commended for their careful pl ann ing and encouragement, for the results have been gratifying. It is not possible 10 name the individual honors and offices, but a few outstanding ones from each chapter will show the diversi ty of their accomplishments Pennsylvania B had two members in Mortar Board, one * B K, one Dormitory president, the president of the Student -Faculty Congress, two girls living in Honor House, and representation in W S G A by two Senate members, the Treasurer. the Public Relations Olairman and four members on Hon o r Council. Nine were members of Cap and Dagger. fifteen were on the staffs of the two publia.tions and one was president and another member of A .A .6. A Pi Phi was the Sophomore Cotillion Queen and the chapter rtCeived the " AII -Year Athletic Trophy."

Pennsylvania r went in for dramatics with the Treasurer and eight members of the little Theater, a Senior Representative on W.A.A., twelve in the

Choral Club, ten work inA on the school publications, member in T 4 n and in and Lanjituage Clubs.

Ohio A had the President and V ice· president of the Y.W.CA .• Vice-president of the Red Cross, the Treasurer of Panhdlenic and the Direaor of the Prep Follies. Two members were members of M o rtar Board and o ne was elected to <I> B K

Ohio S·s lat est activity honors include four new members of '·Mmors." the Sophomore Honorary, f our "Li nks,·· members of the W.S.G.A. one M ortar Board, one ciI B K, the Treasurer of the Sophomore Class and a member of the May Queen's Court. A Pi Phi was president of A A one member was on Pomerene Board of Control and one on Pomerene Council. Another member is the new Red Cross Treasurer

Ohio & is the chapter having the winner of the Province Amy B. Onken Aw ard, Phrllis Steward. Representati on in campus activities includes the President of M ortar Board, two new members, the President of AustJO Hall, the State Vi le·president of the Y .W.CA., Recording Sec'y of the W.A.A_. tw o W .S.G. A. members, President of Mon nett Hall and Presid ent of the W.A.A.

Ohio E has the President of the Y .W.C. A., Editor of the Year Book (B/orkhouJe), as well as th e As · sistant Edito r , the Assistant Editor and Circulation Manager of th e weekly paper, the Secretary of the American Pharmaceutical Association, the Secretary of the Canterbury Club, and six Juniors were recent ly tapped for '·Peppers:' The chapter won Ihe trophies for Volleyball and Basketball and a member is the May Queen and another the sophomore class Treasurer.

Pi Phis have lxen especially active at Miami Uni· versity where Ohio Z is located There were three Student-Faculty Counci l members. the new ly elected President of the Y W C.A ., the Vice-President Treas · urer and five Board members. A Pi Phi was the Secretary-Treasurer of the Women·s League. and a senior has been Vice-president and was recently elected the permanent Secretary of the class. One member is Busi ness Mana.R;er of the Year Book and there are two desk editors of the Slut/un Four girls were tapped for M orta r Board, two e'e<ted to "" B K, and five Sophomores were e lected to ·'Cwen, " th e Sophomore Honorary A pledge was elected Queen of the Freshma n Strut. West Virginia A had two on the Y .W.CA. Cabinet and three in Press Club Two were tapped for the Sophomore Honorary and twelve are in Departmenta l Honoraries The chapter won first place in the Home· coming Parade of Floats. a member was the Homecoming Queen and another has lxen chosen Mi ss University of West Virginia _ A member is the Sponsor for the R.O T .e. and another the Secretary of Pan · hellenic.

The h ousing situation remains the same with on ly Ohio A, Ohio B, and West Virginia A living in their own homes Pennsylvania B and Ohio Z have a

Troom called a "suite·' in a dormitory and the othtts have apartments_ Ohio A improved the outside appearance by removing all the old shrubbery and replacing it with new, in a new cement sidewalk and drive. The members of Ohio E completely redecorated their five room apartment doinA all of the ork themselves. Pennsylvania B had their sujte redecora ted also and many smaller improvements were made every place. The Housemothers have served faithfully and well in their capacity and the Airls are appreeiative o f their capable management of the houses or apartments.

The eight chapters contributed 1009'0 to Settlemen t School and Holt House, the pledges at OhIO 1\ raising for Settlement School. The chapter at Ohio A also sponsored a Footba ll Game which netted $4:50.00 for the National Cancer Fund. The A Z 4s were the oppone nt s and the score was a tie-O-o! Some of the chapters continued their interest in the ··Save-the -Ch ildren Fund" and sent individual packages as well as contributions of money. The letters received were pitiful in their expressions of appreciatIon.

In additio n to Phylli s Steward who won the Amy B. Onken Award in th e province the candidates from other chapters were : Ohio A. Margaret Sheard; Ohio S, Marjorie Patton; Ohio E, Margaret Tomlinson ; Ohio Z, Maralou Juday; Pennsylvania B, Georgia Hutchin son; and Penn sylvania r, Mary Jeanne Reynolds. The decision was extremely difficult to make. as every candidate was a Airl of excep t ional ability.

The members of the A lumnae Advisory Committees have been very conscientious in lending every bit of help, encouragement. and mature direction to th e active chapters and I wi sh to express my appreciation to them, as well as for their personal contacts with me.

I cannot close without briefly mentioning the chapter Presidents Prov ince Conference held in Findlay. Ohio, in August. The girl s attending were Jane Farr , Pennsylvania B; M ary Jeanne Reynolds, Pennsy lvania r; Sheard , Ohio A; Jane Talley, Ohio B ; Peggy Jo Go rdon , Ohio 4 ; Pat D olan, Ohio E; Maul o u Juday Ohio Z; and Jan e Brown, West Virginia A. Dorothy Mathews, from Penn sylvania came as Pledge Supervisor. From the excba nAe of ideas and discussions of chapter affairs th e girls received much help from one a n other. Edith Rankin kindly talked to them on Chapter-AlumnI! relations.

To Miss Onken and all the members of Grand Council who helpw us so much the Confere nce at Gatlinburg last June, J again express my fe e ling of gratitude for the encouragement and guidance given during the year. To all of the actives and alumnae in the Provin ce I say " thank you" for the splendid coope ration during these past two years and I wish a ll of them the greatest degree of success in the future .

GAMMA PROVIN CE PRESIDENT

HL Gamma Province Workshop was held in June 1947. 2nd it was at that time that I my close contact with the chapters. The workshop, planned. and conducted under the able lead ersh ip of Kath eri ne Black Massenburg, my predecessor. was a most successfu l meeting. It has led to remarkabl e .R;rowth in each of the chapters which w as represented. Unfor·

tunately, two of the eiAht chapters were unable to be represented I was indebted to Kitty Massenburg for her complete records, explanations, and follow·up lett ers, in orienting me for the province work This has been a most success ful year o n the whole, with not too many up s·and·downs. though a few problem5 sho uld doubtless be e xpected!

Our emphasis agai n this year has been o n scho lars hip , and while we do n ot have a ny first place chapte rs r epo rted for the year 1946-47, we ca n boast of three seco nd places. all very close t o the t op ra n i:i np; group on their respecti ve ca mpu ses. Th e first semes t er of this year showed some impro vement generally although tw o chapters fail ed t o come up to expectati o n s All the girls have been trying earnestly to bring up individual ave rages and we feel sure that we will see good results at the end of this year.

With out excepti o n, th e D ea ns o f W omen had o nly w o rd s of p raise for the chapte rs in this province, whi c h proves that the gi rls are earnestly tryin,2 to li ve up to the sta ndards of the Frat e rnity in mee ting th ei r responsibi li ties to th e ir Co ll ege Administrations. No r eport of a province president could be comp lete without including menti o n of th e fin e wor k done by the a l um nr advisory Without th e unselfish labors of these loyal, interes ted Pi Phi s, no chapter cou ld hope to continu e a long th e road to prog ress and achievement. This office r wishes to thank all th ose who served during the past year a nd h o pes that the work they ha ve done has .'tiven them satis f actio n through the opportunity to know and w ork with ou r fine active chap ters.

In concluding a report o f this year·s activiti es , D e lta Provin ce President wishes to express her sincere th anks a nd appreciat io n to all th e chapters for th ei r cooperation, and fo r th eir ma ny expressions of their friendship. She regr ets very much that it was impos · s ible to accept a ll of the invitations extend ed to he r by the c hapters Their ma n y kind n esses will a lways be o ne of her happy Pi Beta Phi memories.

Ou r sincere thanks go to th e membe rs of Grand Council and especia lly to Miss Onken and to Mr s. Wi ld wh o, as always, have been most helpful. H ELEN AND ERSON UWlS

EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

EPSILON province delightedly welcomes T !:flnes$« r to our family The new colonized group at the University of Tennessee was installed by Marianne Reid Wild in May, with thrillingly beautiCul ceremonies by large groups of happy Pi Phis (rom other chapters in the province. To M arianne Wild, to Peg Ward the and to the devoted, hardworking alumnI: in Kn oxville go our sincere thanks for giving us these 16 fine new PI Phis , this splendid new chapter, truly a shi ning Slar in our province galaxy. The chapter ranks firsl 10 scho la rshIp o n it s campus, has already w o n im porta nt campus recog ni· ti o n, and has had the friendship and loya l support o f the entire campus from the start . It s enthusiasm and ambition, its persistence and solida rit y, have bttn an inspiration to all of us

The year began with the friendship and high morale resulting from the Chapler Pr esidt:nt's Workshop held i n St Louis in August. While the presidents worked the numerous vi sit ors played, and excha ng ed id eas laO on their own chapler jobs. A sw imming party fo llowed by a buffet supper prepared by the Missouri B Advisory Board led to an animated discussion of active-alumna:' relations, and another evening at the Municipal Opera brought relaxation to the hard working chapter pres idents and the vi sitors too

Contacts within the province continued with the delegates meeting in Knoxville in February to inspect the n .., rs, and later with another meeting for the installati o n With such wide province friendships th e girls eagerly seek province news, gaining "familY" warmth, and wider appreciation.

All our chapters were 100 0/'0 co ntributors to our Pi Phi projects, as well as to many local campus and civic needs In additi o n all of them rai sed money to send extra girls to convention besides their alternates. Many of them continued their custom of sending a " bonus" gift to Settlement School, and all of th em to send Tenn essee I' gifts of money in stead of flowers or other items, so that the ntw chapter could get the thing.'i that were most needed.

Martha Krauss, of Kentucky A, won the province Amy Bumham Onken Award this year. The o ther nominees were Alberta Barnsdorff of Mi ssour i A ; Nancy Baber of Missouri B; Mary Hel en Barrett o f Missouri r; Dorothy Bradley of T e nnessee A; and Bettye Brasfield of T ennesste B

Epsilon Province had the honor of Mrs Carson's visits this year and her charm and inspiration were deeply felt and appreciated by each chapter.

It has been a continuing joy to the Province Presidtnt to know of the high reg2rd in which each chap te r is held by its Dean of Women, to watch the constant growth in chapter spirit and morale everywhere evident, to learn of successful ru sh in.'; and pledge training in each chapter, and to see the increasi ng efficiency in chapter administration and know-how that results in such joyous service to the fr ate rnity. Chapter visits are always the highlight of the year, and were especially so this year since they s«med m o re like family reunions, or gatherings of old and beloved friends , than like " official:' or "working" visits. This third year in office has brought added appreciation of the prestige and responsibility of leadenhip that is in Pi Phi , and ever deepening gratitude for th e loyal friendship , and splendid cooperation, of all the girls and of their alumnr advisors.

A province scholarship trophy was this

year, and was awarded to MI SSOUri A for the year 1946-17

It is unfortunat(; that so many of the final honors are not let avaIlable at th e time this report is due All chapters have won distinction in their contribu· tions 10 Ih ei r campus activities. Only a few are listed for each chapter due to the limitations of space

Missouri A won Sorority Sing this spring, have o ne M o rtar Board member, another graduating "with distinction," and had five girls to attend the banquet give n bye! '" Cor Ihe )0 most outsta nding girls on camp us. One chairm aned the AWS dance, another led the Community Chest Drive. another had the lead in two major dramatic productions, while the society editor of the paper and the sec retary of the pcp club have both been Pi Phi s, as was the ca ptain of the hockey team For next year the chapter has the Treasurer of Panhdl enic, the AWS chai rman of Freshman Orientation, members of SGA committees, and intramur a ls Board, and dramatics dub board.

Missouri B actives won the Scholarship Cup again, and to make the score perfect, the pledges won the Pledge Scholarship Cup too! Four were tapped for Mortar Board, one being elected vice-president. Four made the junior women's honora ry, while five girls made the sophomo re women's honora ry with one being elected presid ent and another becoming vice-president Pi Phis will be well represented next year.

The president of Pan hellenic for next year will be one of our girls. This post is not rotating, and is o ne of the top campus honors , The chapter won the Quad Club prize for 5tlling the most tickets to Quad Show, on which most of the chapter worked One of the chapte r is the program chairman fo r Quad Club for n ex t year, another is chairman of Red Cross while another heads Red Cross classes, and o thers are circulation manager of the magazine, social chairman of WAA , office managers of th e magazine, secretary of the Architectural Society, and several are Board members in the two dramatic clubs. One had the lead in the major production thi s year. Several are members oC departmental honoraries. The chapter has been working with a Girl Scout tr oo p for deficient and handicapped children.

Missouri had the secretary of the freshman class, and the Sou'Wester Queen . Two were el ected to th e equivalent of Mortar Board. One succeeds a Pi Phi sister as president of the pep club. The dramatic club has had a Pi Phi president this year, a nd will have Pi Phi s as secretary and as program chairman for ne xt year. The entire cha pter is widely re prese nted in all campus activities. They have had the president of Panhell e nic this year as well as the secretary of the French Club, the social chairman of W AA, many on th e magazine staff, and several members of departmental hononries. Late honors have not yet been

announced. Th ey won the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup for the se cond succe ssive year

Kentucky A has the new Thoroughbred Queen, while the Homecomin,g Queen was also Pi Phi. Two members have been tapped for the M ortar Board equivalent, one is president of the Religious Counci l, and another is editor (01" Thoroughbred for next year. Two were elected to Who's Who. One is on Student Council, another is president of Physical Education Majors, and president of Westminster Club . The chapter wo n the basketball tournament and has had the secretary of th e freshman class, and sec retary of the law school junior class, a nd the editor of the newspaper, as well as the vice-president of the Student Counci l, a nd cabinet m embers of WRA. with many working on the pap er and ) cubool.. .no Jnullatic dub affairs. They have had the vice pre5iden t of WRA a nd several chai rm en of stud e nt government committees, in addition to secretaries of both the H ome Economics Club .md the Pep Club, and captain of the basketball team.

Tennessee A had two ele<ted to Who's Who, and secretaries of both the Honor Council and Inte rnational Relations Club, as well as Univers ity Players, and Student Council.

They are represented. in th e dramatic frat ernity and one is vice-president of th e Playhouse.

On the whole Epsilon province members serve their campuses well. Participation is comp lete in each chapter, bringing prestige to the fraternity and, even more important perhaps, broadening the friendships, and developing the abilities of the girls them5Clves, besides eliminating the barrier between Greek and Indepen dent which so h a rms the fraternity system so lo ng as it stands.

Each chapter hu planned its goals and striven toward them in enr increasing harmony. Anything is possible to th e chapter which has high morale, and unity, and if this l esso n has been truly learned province progress is assured.

To Grand Council and to the personnel of Central Offi ce I would express by deep appreciation for their constant help To the Ad visory Boards, and chapters, go my affcctio n and gratitude for th eir loya l co-operation and warm friendship

ZETA PROVINCE PRESID E NT

IlEvtEW of this yea r as Province President brings Out of the ma ss of correspondence a nd reports a sense of real pr0li!ress and high hopes for the future of Zeta PIovince The year b egan with a chapter president's conferenct at Daytona Beach. Florida, in Septembe:r. This proved to be inspiratio n a l and informative to the chapter presidents and pledge'5ur,er_ visors attending, and every chapter had both president and pledge.supervisor present except Alabama A and only a death in the family of that pledge-supervisor prevented her attending Thi5 was an enl""iching ex· perience for me as well as the chapter dele,gates . Chapter visits were made by the Province President in January and it was a joy to set again those I had known and to meoet the pledge groups. Every effort was made by the .::hapters and the individual girls to extend a friendly welcome and the eager cooperation Jf the girls made the visit even more pleasant. Zeta Province had the privilege of having Mrs. Alford visit US this yeu and this provM to be the highlight of the yeaI. The chapters and the clubs in the province

will profit by her challenging and helpful suggestions . All the chapters in the province had a 5UCCCS5ful fea.r with regard to the gul! they pledged and initiated. It is r egrettable that the quota system keeps th e chapters from pledging a ll the fine girls they would lik e to have as Pi Phis; onl y Al abama A is not penalized by the quota. The chapters a.re luger than they have eve r been and this has made for more internal efficiency and mare unity in the chapters. Every chapter is congenial, happy and succe5sful2 with aims set hjgh; perhaps all the aims will not be realized but there have been and will be victories. fine achievements, and many dreams come true. There is no question of the ambition of the chapters f o r the fraternity and this is demonstrated by theu generou5 cootributions to the nationaJ projects. Every chapter has contributed to Settlement School, H olt H ouse and Loan Fund Scholuship is the weakest point in the province and there are DO fints to report for this year. but there is an Alabama A first for the vea r 1946-47.

The chapters, a.s a whole, stand well in scholarship on their respective and they are all aimillA at the first place. We can only hope that our ambitions will be realized next year.

In extracurricular activities the chapters excel and their list of honors is an imposing one. Intramurals have played an important part and all games have been participated in with Florida Band AIai»m2 A taking the cup for all intramurals.

Every chapter participated in Fraternity Sings and Florida A won first place with the "Sweetheart Song" by Meredith Wilso n Alabama A won first place in "Stunt Night." Florida B defeated K A e in the Powder Puff Football Game Georgia A placed second in "Sorority Sing ." Florida r has had several takinA leading coles in theatrical productions.

There are seven girls elected to Who's Who and every chapter represented on th e li st. Mortar Board, Or its equivalent, has tapped. girls in all chapters and there are nine members to report In the field of journalism we find many Pi Phi s active and carrying tht: responsibility of Editors, A ssociate Editors and Staff members. Every newspaper, annual, and magazine has a Pi Phi on the staff. Student Government and clas s officers are numerous. Space would not permit me to mention all the offices held by an individual chapter. Four of the five chapters have had members elected to B K, of its equivalent.

There were five excellent nominations for the Amy Burnham Onken A ward and it was indeed a difficult choice. Jean Bohrer Brown was the one chosen for Zeta Province and her list of honors. her lovely personality, and service to the fraternity and chapter should malee her good competition for the national award.

No report would be complete without expressing app reciation for the splendid work of the Alumnr Advisory Committees. This alumnr backing is of vital importance to the chapters at all times and in times of emergency when problems arise which require

Texperience, the alumnr have been ready to give advice and to assist in any manner in which they could. Their kindl y advice and constructive suggestions are needed and welcomed by the chapters. The relation ship be· tween active and alumnr is exceedi ngly fine and til t' inspiring contacts made on both sides is invaluable The Pi Phis in Zeta Province, with all man} varied activities and responsibi lities seldom sliAht their social programs. Their parties invari ably get full consideration and vary fr om "Crackers and Colec " affairs. given on the slightest provocation, to beautiful, formal affairs. All chapters have had at least o n t' form a l dance this year and the decorations have becn outstanding, and in many instances very inexpensively made by the committee in charge. There are Beauty Queens in ,II the chapters and while every chapter cannot boast of having the Beauty Queen they have all been represented in this competition.

The cooperation of the chapters has been heart· warming and has made the work of the Province President a joy. Often too little tr ibute is paid to those Joya l hardworking 3ctives who do not hold important offices in the chapters. Their suppo rt and willingness to carry any responsibility shouJd be rec· ognized. The officers have done thcir worle well and it is through their leadership that the chapters have reached and maintained the place they hold on the campuses. J am grateful to the gicls for the inspiration they have given me

To the members of Grand Council and other na· tional officers, and particularly to Miss Onken J want to express my geatitude. Their advice and co· operation have furnished the inspiration needed to enable me to carry on this work. This year is crowded with memories of Pi Phi friends I will cherish always, and I am grateful {or this opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi.

ETA PROVINCE PR ESIDENT

HE chapte rs of Eta Province again have had the unique experience of having served under the guidance of more than one Province President during the college year, 19 47·48. This report is based upon a term of office which has been of four months dura· tion and such information obtained in the reports and correspondence between the former Province Presidents and the chapters . Since the Easter holiday was early this year and there were mid ·term examinations, quarter term finals and other important Calendar events, it was April 1 before the visiting schedule could be worked out. There fore. six chapters were visited after that date, starting with Illinois E and ending Memorial nay week·end in Madison. Illinois Z 3nd E were visited by the Province President who immediately preceded me. A short unofficial visit to Illinois A and Holt Hou se wa s a pleasant interlude between Founders ' Day celebrations in Peoria and that in Galesburg. Bradley Chapler experienced the thrill of Founders' Day for the fir s t time Monmouth and Knox, to my knowledge, held their first joint celebra· tion of that occasion. Ea ch o n e was thrillinl!; . Despite the heavy social calendar, chapter members, deans and even presidents. in the case of three colleges, were most cooperative and exceedingly gra· cious about receiving an official visitor so late in the c;chool year.

It has not been easy for the chapters to work with so much change in one school vear. They have done very well under the trying circumstances of having a province president whose visits and schedu les were all set, then canceled, then set again, but with an entirely different province president. It is surprisin.'l that the reports came in very ,promptly even when such a state of confusion existed.

The chapters were requested to forego any formal entertaining since it was so late in th e year and their social season finished.

The alumnr clubs have been very prompt in theit reports to me. In the case of Illinois e, th eir Special Advi sor, Carmen Pletz, was very helpful.

On the whole, the scholastic average in the provinct' is gratifying, considering the tighteninl!; up in grades on every campus. Illinois n and Wisconsin B stood first, the latter {or the fourth consecutive semester, after having been in fourth place .a few years ago. An 3dded thrill came at convention time when it was announced that the chapter had tied as one of the three to win a place on th e scholarship plaque. As a result of the error in the banquet announcement, Wisconsin 8 will hold the plaque first in time for the fall rushing . In every chapter I found sincere and fine attitudes toward scho larship. Good study habits were aimed

for and awards for improveme nt as well as a tt ai n ment given even at Monmouth and lawrence which were l owest on their campus. Illin o i s A had a disastrous time with a pledge dropping out leav ing 14 hours of " F " behind. T he girls are making every effor t bu t the system of averaging pledges with actives ha s proved unfortunate for thi s chapter. Of co urse the other g roups on th e campus h ave th e same hurdle. That c hapter has some very outstand ing Airls who wo uld credit any uni vers ity. both in activities and grades.

JlJ inois Z ha s four cJI B K , Univer sit y H o n o rs, and A A 11 , and one cI> K Mortar Board chose fou r, one vice-pres iden t ; Shi·ai thr ee, one tr easu rer; 1: A I one tr easurer and ed it or; Z cI> H , three in Orchesis, anci College Honors numbered hitten.

KAPPA PRO V I NCE PRESID EN T

A PPOINTED In July to complete the unexpired term fi of Margaret JacowaV as Kappa Province President, my introduction to the province work took the very pleasant form of the Provi nce Work. shop, held in eady September in little Rock Planned and directed by Miss Jacoway, this was but one mare splendid ex:tmple of the fine leadership which she had given to Kappa Province for th e past two vears.

A s a resu lt of a most heartening discussion at Littl e Rode, the province chapters decided t o devote a pari o f their Chapter loyalty Day cel...:bration to pleasure to others, thereby at one and the same lime Iheir own apprt'(iollion for the privilege of Pi Beta Phi membership and practically expre ssi ng th eir realization of the attendant responsi· bilities for service. These activities took various forms: entertainin;; under-privileged children for a show and lunch (Loui s iana B) ; pr(;scntation of color books to a nearby children's home (Oklahoma A) ; giving of funds to provide equipment for a local negro school, and a dinner invitation and financial aid to a French student whose home conditions had left her here in the United States without sufficient funds to continue her education (Oklahoma B); utn treats for the chapter 's Save·the-Children orphan (Texas B); and the organization of the enlire campus under Pi Phi leadership to collect clothes for the Drive for European Children (Texas A).

Kappa Province philanthropies have not can· fined to these, howev er , as all chapters have con· tribut ed to Campus Chest Drivt'S where held. to the Red Cross, the Sne -the Olildren Foundati on. th e Cancer Drive, and th e World Student Servi ce Fund Arkansas A gave ten boxes CAR E, and has continued its regular month ly assistance to a blind stude"1 who a Jun e was this year named Arkansas' most outstanding student. Oklahoma A ea rn ed $228.00 a t a Coterie for the March of Dim (.'s; a nd Texas A made Ihe most of all the girl's conces· sions at their Varsity Carnival with ite; Bin,(Co table (profits went to philan th ropy) Texae; 11 assisted with a campus Book Drive for three foreiAn uni\'ersi tics and organized and directed a Browni e Troop. louisiana A has continued its services at the Gumbo Home for Children.

The chapters were one hundred percent 10 th eir support of Pi Bela Phi projects, giving: $In .oo to Ho lt House, $375.00 to the Scttlement School, and $ 190.00 to tht= Loan Fund- a very commendable average for seven chapters.

Scholarship has received much attention this year and with some gratifying resuits, even thou,(Ch some of the ,c:031s se t ha\e not as yet been accomplished Only one chapter held first place for the entire year, 1946-47 , and again this firsl semester of 1947-48Oklahoma U-a semest(.' r first placer, wh ose pledges also ranked first on campus last fall, all but one making initiation average, and that o nly a tenth of a point miss! Louisiana 8 has shown the Rreatest progress, coming up from seventh place nrst semester of last year, 10 fourth seco nd semester, and third (and that very close to second) first semes ter of this year. Anoth e r third-dose·to·sccond wa'l won by Texas 8

first semeste r, after bemg dropped down to fifth o nd semc:ster of 1351 year. Two second places o n cam pus \\ere won semester of this year by Louisiana A and Arkansas A, both having raised from third plaC(' the semes ter before. In sp ite of a tutor and an excel. lent study hall , Oklahoma A dropped to seventh place second semesler of last year and first semester had only regained one pla ce- ranking six th Texas Are · cei\cs comparative ratings only o n the annual basis, but has been showing considerable improvement in averages since the eleventh place ranking for 1946·47 later reports from all chapters will tell whether the gains made ""ere for th e "pring, 1948 or as was each chapter's go I, bettered!

Oklahoma A and B beRan the year in shining, reo decorated houses , both most attractive and with that "new look." louisiana A has just, with the enthusi· astic assistance of its Mothers' Club refurnished and refurbished its lodg e, and Louisiana B ii in the midst of a solici tation of funds from alumnr til finance a redecoration of its room in Panhellenl\ H o use. Arkansas A reports plans for the summer to k eep its attractive house in fine condition, and Tcx l» A added a railinR 10 their third·floor roof for ti.e benefit of sun-bathers. Texas n is a,;ain, after an enforced delay, hopc:fully for an apartment to ho use twenty girls and provide adequate chapter rooms 10 a contemplated Panhellenic House on the ShiU campus.

One change in house chaperOn3Ae took p lace this year, Oklahoma A securing th e fine helpfulness of Margaret Quigley mother of a Pi Phi, when their former chaperon, Glady'l Scivally. accepted the Directorship of Central Office. Mrs. Clifton and Mrs Winton. Arkansas A ",nJ Texas A, remain our loyal and 6ne Pi Phi chape ron es in Kappa Province, and Mr s. Campbell served most capably as hostess at Oklahoma H. Te'Xas n was fortunate in havinA Mr s. continue sharing their apartme n t and serv ing as chaperon for chapter functions there.

To these valuable coope rators in maintaininA PI Beta Phi homes for gracious living, and to the alum · nor who so willingly and ef1C<'tively guided Kappa Province chapters as m embers of advisory committees goes the deepest appreciation of all our chapter memo bers and their Province Presiden t.

RushinA was most successful, with one possibk exception but evcn there the pledges were truly fin<. additIons to Pi Beta Phi Quotas or limitations arl imposed on every campus excep t Oklahoma A & M three (Loui siana A and B, Texas n) based on an equal division of entering students among the Pan h e llenic frat ernities. Arkansa s A a combination limita tion and quota system, and Texa s A and Oklahoma A d chapter limitati o n, the la tter designed to prevent chapters from any more than they can satisfactorily house . Arkansas' Pan hellenic this year has been debatinA the advantages and disadvantages of a freshman dor· mitory and deferred rushing. Oklahoma .A and Bare both expecting completion of freshman dormitories next yea r or soon thereafter, and with that the housing of all pled,l!es in thes e dormitories. This will neces-

sita te revISI o n o f Oklahoma A's limitation sys· tern and considerable adjustment in both c hapt e rs' pledge program s.

Oklahom a University's Panhell e ni c ha s eliminated all large summer parties thi s yea r, whil e Louisiana A has added a limited amount o f summer ru shi n,lot fo r th e fir st time, and Texas B will probably return to it s former po l icy o f n o summer cushi n,g Con siderab le cha nge has bem m ade in SMU's rushinR plan for fall following th e recomme nd ati o n of T exaJ Beta's sp ein,$!: semes ter Presi den t Louisiana A's "co mpact," new la st fali and on which Pi Beta Phi labored diligently. active and a lumn:e al ik e, was most enthu siastica lly received and witb some changes will bt uSN aAain n ext fall. Arkan sas A, Ok lahoma A and B continue to hold wee k ·end parti es for hig h v h no l students each sp ring, although Arkan sas A ha s redu ced th e ex te nt of these somewhat .

Inter-chapter co ntacts thi s year have in cluded a di nn e r in Louisiana A' s lodge attended by tw e nt y Louisiana B s in N e w Orlean s for the Tul a ne· I.SU game. and th e usual Fou nders' Day ce le b ra tion in Oklahoma City with Okl ahoma A and B participatin,Jlt.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESID E NT

N THE Province Presidtnfs report to the ARROW for la st year it was stated that emphasis was beinJ!; given to two objectives-scholarship, and student activity participation. This report indicates that the ch;tpters have shown 3 marked improvement in these fields, which man ifests a changed attitude towards a more commendable loyalty to both the institution, and to the fraternity . The most sign ificant accomplishment in scholarship these past two years was made by Oregon A , when this chapter raistd its scholarship from eiAhth place to first place, and maintained this position for four cons«utive quarters. With this achievement Oregon A won the Burt Brown Barker Scholarship award for having the scholarship, 2.15. for the past year. This is the first time this award has heen won by a fraternity. Another chapter to r«eive outstanding recognition in scholarship is Oregon r with a scholastic avenge of 3.065 the first semester of this year---establishing a record at Willamette . Honorable mention is due four chapters for the splendid showing made on their respective campuses: Alberta A , winning second; Washinltton A in third position with an average of 2.86 the highest that this chapter has attained since 1936 ; Oregon B raising its average from eleventh to fourth place with a scholar· ship average of 2.67; and Montana A r«ently announcing that it has moved up to fourth place in scholarship with an excellent chance to be soon in first position. The remaining chapters are worbnlt diligently to make their contributions, and if this report were not due before the close of college 1 am confident that Lambda Province would show additional achievements.

There were twenty ·three girls in Washington A who had a 3. average or ahove. There were four girls from this chapter who made a 4.: Helen Veatch, Mary King , D e Ette Bryan , and Shirley Willis.

Dorothy Polley, W ashingto n B, is the only ell B K in the Pr ov inct at present, but next vea r should brinA many more to our chapters

A NOTlIE. year has ended with a ,ob well done by .L1.. the nin e clubs of uta Province. Agai n this year, all of the clubs were 100% in th clr con tribution.5 to the thrtt national projects of the fraternity. They contributed a total of $286.00, :a dn"rC'ase of $3·1.00 compared with last )"cac's total In addition to the fraternity prolects, the clubs contrihutcd to the Save the Children Sponsorships and $90.00 plus a War Bond to the actlve chapters in the province Our province child, Urha Joutilla o f Finland , reo ceived many fine gifts of clothing, food. and supplies from the clubs.

The total club members hip 10 the province , including seniors, is 287, as compared with 298 la sl year. The: Birmingham, Deland , and Orlando Clubs had an Increase in while the other six clubs had a slight The Lakeland Club wa s 100% in paid again this }ear despite the fact thai four of her most active members moved away.

Five clubs held Anowcr;jlft Sales totaling as compared with $613 .2 1 last year. The Orlando Club had the most successful sale with a total gross of S407.2S The St. Petersburg C1uh was seco n d with $246 .75. The o ther clubs having had sa l es were Birmingham , Miami, $112.10, and Jackson· ville, $102 .20.

Every club has assisted the active chapte r s in some way by helping with rushin,l;, by contributing furni s h· ings and Aifts for chapter houses, and by entertaining visiting officers. The Birmingham Club gave an int e r· mission party at the chapte rs spring formal; it helped th e chapter at the city-wide Panh e ll enic Workshop, and it gave the dupter a gene rous gift o f money to used in red ecorating the c hapter room. The At · lanta Club made an annua l gift of sn.oo to Georgia A, and it gave a r ecognition pin to the pledge with the highest sc hola s tic average. Since the chapter house was in n ted of re pairs thiS year, the club put forth special effor!. Together with the House Corporation.

Ithe club sponsored a lun cheon for the benefit of GeorAia A. and raised $63.00. At present. th e club is conducti ng an extensive drive called. the "Mile of Pennies.'" Every Pi Phi in the Atlanta area and who have gone to G eorg ia. were sent eightet'fl en ,·dope5.

While the statistical report for Zeta Province does not seem as good as that o f last year, I feel that we ha\oe had a splendid year There has been a growth and development in those intangible things which are the bases of the fraJ:t:rnity , true a of closene ss among th e club members, and FounderS ' D.l Y meeti ng s which have been unexcelled in real meaning as well as in attendance.

My since re appreciation goes to my clubs and to th e ir officers, and eSJ)C'Cially to the club presidtnts for the coope rati o n which they ha\e given me during my two years in office.

T IS mdeed a plea s ure to make a r epo rt of conditions in Eta Province this year. I am very proud of all of our alumn.e clubs, their accomplishments, co· operation and loyalty. This province o f 24 dubs is 100% in con tributio n s t o frat ernity projects.

Fourteen clubs contributed to local char iti es this year while on ly eig ht of them took part in civic projects a year ago. We have an increase of 12 7 memo bers, 14 clubs showing increases, with 3 clubs having a ll resident alumnor as paid members. Ou r cont ribu. tions to ou r three n ationa l projects are not so startling in their increases over ;jI year ago, but any addition is certainly an indication that clubs are loyal to our philanthropies. The active: chapters reaped the harvest of our clubs' financial gai n s. l....ast year they only received while- this year Alumnz Clubs gave them making an of $482 .93. I would like t o call specia l attention to the fact that the Peoria Alumnae Club gave $280 00 to their new baby, Illinoi s e, to be used to enab le more actives to attend convention thi s year

I am sorry that I cannot tell you what the increases in magazine commissions will be, I fed co n · fident that there will be an increase be<ause all of

the clubs have really put forth s u ch effort to increase subscription s for ou r Ag ency. \Y/e can only hope that the final accounting will show that th e ir efforts were successfu l

Most of the clubs in the province cooperated in carinll!; for our French boy again this year, either contributing money o r sending him clothes or food. Three clubs spon so red their own child, co ntributing $96 00 each through th e Save the Children Federa ti on.

A busy club is a h ea lth y club and f rom the activities of our groups, we are disgustingly healthy

A great variety of money making projects were under. taken. The Monm outh club was fortunat e to have an etchi ng o f H olt H ouse- made by Me. Pescheret . Hi s wife is a Pi Phi, incidentally. The club plans t o sell reproductions of this as their big project for the year, Other clubs have had great financial gains from the sa le of Arrowcrah and Stuart Nye jew elry Peoria had a rummage sale which neued them $400,00 and a Charity 8 ,, 11 which gave them a profit of $800.00

The Milwaukee club sta.rted what th ey hope will be an annual affai r, a Sty le Revue followed by dancing and card playing netting them $200.00. Benefit bridge parties, white elephant auctions, selling Pi Phi Cook

Boob and various other products such as Pressure Cookers, stationery, a nd gift wrappings took much effort but proved to be financially successful.

Club merabecs haven 't spent a ll of their time making money. They have h ad fun p la ying to-gether. Square dancing with husbands and friends, box lunch socials, picnics a nd entertaining for ac tives, showing tha t they e nj oy their conta cts in conti nuinJ.: their loyalty to Pi Beta Phi in work or play.

My association with Eta Province alumnz clubs

Whas been a never to be forgotten experien ce and has ind e bted me still furt her to the fraternity , bei ng eternally grateful for the many benefits already received from being a member of Pi Beta Phi. I want to extend my appreciation for the privilege of serving the fraternity and thank a ll club officers, the Direct or of Centra l Office, and Grand Council for support and inspiration durin,c:: the past two years.

HEN the responsibility of the Theta Province alumnz clubs was turned ove r to me a year ago, I was mnst p!t:lsed to find the province rated in the 100 % class. Once a,c::ain, thanks to the co. operatio n of all dub members and officers, it has reached the 100% goal.

H owever there were 28 less paid members than th e year previous, but there has been a substantial increase in the amounts ,c::iven to the various projects of Pi Beta Phi Nine dubs held Arrowcraft salts this year and n etted over las t year 's total. There was also a sligh t gain in the Loan Fund and Holt H ouse contribut ion s, but a sma ll decrease in tbe amounts give n to the Sett lement Schoo l and to the Maga zine Agency

All dubs ne ar active chap ters, hav e given ,'tifts and helpful assis tan ce to their chapters. The Save The Qildren Fund received $73 .00 in cash Aifts, and st:vera l clubs sent shipments of cloth in.'; and supplies. Two clubs have established memorial funds, and many have given genero usly to Red Cross, Needlework Guild, and other worth while local philanthropies. Winnipeg ,c::ave S 10.00 to th e Greater Winnipeg Christmas Fund, and estab lished a $100.00 scholar. ship

All groups are making a home for the young wives of G I's and they in turn are assumi nA their share of the respo n sibi lity in th e dubs.

The monthly lett ers have come in on r egula r schedu le and it has been a Areat h e lp to me to be able to re ly on that d ependab le source for my in· f orma ti on regarding the work of the dubs I am

Igreatly impressed with the number of OUf :dum · nz who are !:lking adive part In worth while com· munity projects in their respective cities and towns . This is indeed a spl endid way to publicize fraternity leadership.

All groups are vitally interested in rushing and severa l groups have sent in constructive sUAAestions for improvement in the ,'tenera l p lans for recommenda. ti o ns

It was my privilege to make two official visits during the year, one to my own dub in Indian Ola , and the other to the Duluth·Superior group. A5 ever the Indiano la group is in close contac t with the Iowa B chapter and most proud of all their recent accomplishments. Thi s dub has suffered loss by death of some of its most cherished members but has been most fortunate in havin,c:: several capable and talented younger members come into the The Duluth· Superior club is a very active group. The loyalty and interest manifested at the Founders' Dav Luncheon gave proof that this was one group that could be depended upon to assume all res po n sibilities. Their gift to the Settlement Schoo l led all other dubs in the province.

With devotion to Pi Beta Phi , J dose this, my first year as Province Vice· President of Theta Province I am most g rateful to the dub officers, t o all members of Grand Council, and to Gladys Scivally for kind guidance and assistance throughout the year . Respectfully subm itt ed,

OTA PROVINCE is 50 happy to report a new member, Ogden , Utah, a group o f interested enthu siastic members, and I believe the second new club will make its debut at Convention time . This makes nine. teen clubs all 100%. with Casper, Hutchinson, and Manhattan having every available Pi Phi. a member.

With the final reports to be studied, one wonders if the figures tell all th e story, Persona lly I doubt it, for who can put in black and white the wonderful spi.rit that pervades the smallest club in the Province This spirit of loyalty is priceless

Membership in several instances has fa llen off considerably, due no doubt to the moving o f GIs , but in other clubs there are notabl e increases in memo bership . One of the most gratifying signs of improve· ment is the average attendance in every club

Every club in the Provin ce reported a highly sue· cessful Settlement School sale where proudly dis· played ow products to o ld and new friends . The results also are gratifying Denver's sales amounted to $l,Hl .78; Manhattan's $1,103 .30; lawrence

$800.00; the small Fort Collins first sale $7S0; Wichita $631.73; Omaha $611.2'; Boulder $'44; Larami e SH7 and Colorado Springs $387.". But the real thrill is to have had each club ho lding a s u ccess· ful sa le for Settlement School.

Ag ai n Iota Province lead$ in M aga7.ine subscrip ti ons r in spite of the fact that thorough canvasses had been made previou3ly

The support of Holt House and the Loan Fund remained approximately the same with every dub 100 % Man y substantial gi fts were made to local projects in addition to the many hours of personal service. Packages have continued to go to our little Finnish boy and his family who are eternally grateful for warm clothes and blankets, in addition to the little unobtainable luxuri es and necessities.

Early this fall the inspiration of personal visits to clubs was mine fr om our summer home at Estes Park; Fort Collins, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. Then in October and November, my daughter Grace, drove me through Kansas where I visited

lawrence, Kansas City. Kansas, \'(Iichita.. Hutchinson. Manhattan, and Topeka. On mv way to and from California and the Northwest, I visited Salt Lake Gty and twice I visited uncoln. The first time at the Founders' Da y banquet. the second, at the cooky·shine at ebraska U's newly decorated Our following was a wonderful exchange of ideas. My Own Omaha Club has had but Heeting glimpses of me, but they in ocellent shape.

Until you can visit other clubs, you do not fully appreciate all they ate and are doing. I have loved it. To 5tt the interest manifested in the active chapters by all, both living there and away. is something real. It is with inten se regret that [ was unable to visit the remainder of my clubs

In every case, I predict finer interest and aCcom·

KpLio;hment for next year when my successor takts onr To her I pledge my untiring intertst and moral support. These have twO happy, very busy years. I have tried, in spite of sojourns in Tusconthe second year for ten weekl, to keep up all cor· respondence and have had my monthly letter in the President's hands. Their letters in return have more than compensated. If in any little way I have helped, I'm grateful, for my Pi Phi friendships have b«ome even dearer and more numerous.

My gratitude to Miss Onken and Mari anne Wild and Marie Hagee cannot be exprtssed. If my work has fallen short, I'm truly sorry.

Arrowcraft sales show a hu,q;e g2in, from $'012.21 to $9139." as shown on reports of fifteen clubs reporting sales. This is due to the amount of material available as well as added interest on the part of some clubs.

as well as seeing many very old and dear ones made it a great pleuure. The loyalty to Pi Phi and interest in its welfare shown by members of all clubs is aJways stimulating. Clubs in Fayetteville, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Stillwater, Norman, Dallas, Shreveport, Houston, Ft. Worth, Corpus Christi , New Orleans, and Baton Rouge had the pleasure of meeting Marianne Wild in February, and the Dallas and Austin Clubs enjoyed the vuit of Miss Onken to Texas A in Sep.tember.

The meeting of the Oklahoma State Alumna: Asso.ciation in November was attended by 6, Pi Phis from many towns, and real progress is being made in strengthening the alumna: department of the fraternity in the state , through coordination of rush for the two chapters as well as stro ng er organization Pounders' Day was celebrated in some way by all dubs . Those so situated as to be able to ce lebrate with one of the chapters were esp«ially fortunate. Fayetteville club and Arkansas A, Austin and Texas A, Dallas and Texas B, and Oklah oma City and both Oklahoma A and Oklahoma n were some of these.

To work for the growth and strengthening of the fraternity ha s been a richly rewarding experience for this officer. For the cooperation of individual club pres idents and treasurers as well as the suppor t of club members in g e neral, I am most grateful. May I also express my appreciation to Mi ss Onken, Mrs. Wild and Mi ss Sciva lJ y for the help and inspiration they have given.

I I' ONE had only the increase of do ll ars and numbers as a yardstick, the achievement of Lambda Province Alumnz Clubs thi s past year would ind eed be note· worthy; but behind those figures is a wo nderful spirit of comradeship and cooperation which means such a lot to those of us who cherish the wine and blue

Although we began the year with 19 clubs, we have a net gain of 2 despite the 3 new ones which have been chartered during the year because Billings has returned to inactive status. The three new Clubs are in Vancouver, B.C., where 33 enthusiastic workers have completed a most success ful first year; in Medford, Oregon, where 24 Pi Phis banded together in

April; and in Bellingham, Washington, where a club of at least U members will receive a charter just before Convention.

Tota l membership is 7'9 exclusive of the Belling . ham group and last year's seniors, and Settlement School giving averages nearly S 1.00 per member with a total of $702.00-the most we have ever donated. Other contrib utions remain about the same as last year and again we have attained the goal of bein,q; 100 percent as a Province Wenatchee again is the on ly club with 100 percent in membership, though Everett and Pullman missed the mark by ODe member , Seattle will no doubt lead the country again in size

o f club, for th ey hav e 149 paid members. The 13 clubs which he ld Arrowccaft sa les did a gross business in excess of $lO,OOO-another high ma rk , with Pullman and Portland topping the l is t w it h more than $ 1300 each.

Su ch was th e $2 , 000 which the club in Yakima has pl edged and paid in full to t he n ew ci ty hosp ital, giving th e fund in memory of a loved Pi Phi nurse. In addition, that club gave to the Joca l Red Cross, th e Po li o D ri ve, a nd th e Community Chest. In Spoka ne the Pi Phi s gave to assist in spas l ic work for children;

TPor tland gave $2' .00 to a loca l sch oo l for crippl ed chi l dren a nd also ass isted th e blind; Pullman co ntributed $25.00 toward a new city hospi ta l ; V a ncouver ass is t ed individual s in a convalesce nt home; Calgary gave pa r ce ls at Ch r istmas·time to patien t s i n Colone l Belc her hosp ital; and Tacoma made co ntribution s to Ihe Red Cross, th e Community Chest. and $25.00 to the appeal to aid Europe's children.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMI'TI'EE

IN 1711 J osep h Ad diso n wrote in the "Spect a tor," '" co nsider a human sou l without education like marble in the quarry which shows no ne o f it s inherent beauties ' till the s kill of the po lisher fet ches out the cou leurs, malees th e surface s h i ne and discovers every oma.menta l cloud, spot, and vei n that tuns through the bod, of it."

Pi Beta Phi found iII quarry in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in 191 2, a spot inaccessible and isolated (or more than 3 century but where Ihe marble thereof was of purest texture. been in its origi n . With but one teacher to do the o ri gi nal po li shing of thirteen pup il s, the Pi Beta Phi Sett lement School h ad its begin n ings th irty s ix yea r s aAo. Hundred s o f wi lling hands an d loya l spi rits have labored to bring out the best therein; other hundreds have conti nu ed to imp rove and po l ish into ligh ts, that o riginal project. It sta nds tod ay as a living memorial to our Fou n ders and co ntin ues t o hold our i nt e res t beyond co ll ege yea rs. W e are e nvi ed by the othe r fraternities and admired by all for o ur acco mpli s hments in th e Southern App a la c hi a ns, famili arly known as th e Smoleies.

From humblest beginnin;r:s th e Settlement School h as grown to one which offers a full curriculum of twelve grades where this year ten teachers taught more than five hundred pupil s and both grade high schoo l bu ildings were crowded beyond ca pacity .

For the p as t five years, the County has assumed as fa r as possible the same basic respo nsibility tow a rd the G a tlinburg Schoo ls a.s tow ard the others of Sevier County. In 194; thc plan which had been recommended by Dr Holton and again by Dr William S. Taylor in his survey, and for which the Settlement Schoo l Committee with Ethel H Copp as Chairman had worked so tirelessly, went into e ffect. The buildings were le ased for a nominal sum to the County and th e Co unty ass umed the sal:lCies o f the teachers but Pi Beta Phi continued t o and direct the activities.

Pi Beta Phi was soon to discover that the " ba sic" responsibilities assumed by Sevier County were not all that was d es ired or needed fo r our School. In can· sequence we have supplemented the pro;r:ram in various ways in order to give the chi ldren some of those thin gs which malee for better living anywh e re.

Again this year we have paid th e full sa laries fo r a Physica l Education teach e r , a Musi c Supervis o r, a Crafts teac her. and for a part-time teacher in W oodworking Al so in order to be assured o f th e return of Mr . Willi am King , who had received hi s Master's d egree during the past summer, as Superintend en t, Pi Beta Phi fou nd it necessary to s uppl ement the salary paid by the County. Mr . Kin;r: r ema ined at the School until Jan uary 1 when he to accept a position with the Veterans ' Admin is trati on in NashvilJe, Tenn essee. Thoug h the community was sorry to lose Mr King, Crttl inbur;r: a nd Pi Be ta Phi wert proud to have the County Board of Education ask ou r Mr J oe J o hn son to assume the tem porary assi,5tnmeot of Superinte ndent in addition to hi s other duties

Mr . Johnson ca me to Pi Beta Phi at Pi Phi's expen se two years ago as the Physical Education teacher and thr o ugh hi s integrity, hi s ability, and h is interest in ),oung people, m ade for himself a niche which he alone can fill in Gatlinburg Thi s was attested to when he a nd his bas ketball teams were hono r ed with a banquet ea rl y this spring. While ab l y carrying on his duties as supe rintend e nt, this was not Mr Johnson 's chosen field and be will bt back next fall on the o ld teaching and coachi ng schedu le aRai n Kn owi ng that " Music mus t talee r a nk as the hi#lest of the fine a rts--as the on e which, more than any othe r, ministers to human welfare, " the Settlement Schoo l Committee two years ago brought Mrs, Aletha Arm strong to the school as its Music Suptrvisor . When one hears h e r objectives as she teaches nine eleme nt ary grades. has an e lementary chorus, a High Schoo l Glee Club plans fo r music for school assemblies, leads one o f th e church choirs, volunteers her services on every occas ion, one knows she is a lmost indi spensable to Gatlinburg These were her objectives: " To afford the joy of singing for each child: to enable pupils to use th e ir voices co rrectly, thus enco uraging beauty of ton e and safe-guardi ng voices for maturity; to provide a background of musical culture; to promote a sen se of cooperation and service through group activity in home, church, and com · munity; and to e ncourage the c reative spirit." It is a far step fr om the harp singing of previous deades and Mrs. Armstro ng feels that the best sign of increasing musica l ap prec iati on has been the increasin;r: demand for our singing groups on the part of the community, as well as the wholesome eagerness with which they perform .

The frat e rnity policy has long been that of further · ing interest in the Crafts a mong the younger moun · taineer by giving th em the opportunity to learn some of them at least at school. Our wood -workin;r: instructo r, Mr Huskey, has taught the boys how to produce creditable pieces o f small furniture while Mi ss Petrie with her own fine appreciation of the beautiful has endeavored to instill that same appreciati on in her students Weaving. Pottery, Block-printing. Leather work , all came in for attention If we are to keep step with others in the encouragement of all types o f crafts, this is a sp lendid place

Thi s spring, our Home Economics department, under the direction o( our H ome Economics teacher was used as a practi ce tcachinJi: center for Seniors (rom the University of Tennessee. There is talk that ou r school will be named one o f fiftttn such practi ce centers in the state and this would assure us a teache r of experience and a high e r level o f instruction Pi Beta Phi wo uld welcome this

Since the arrival of the fint nurse in 1920, programs of community nursing. publi c health instruction in hygiene, home nurs ing clinics, and r eg ular health inspecti o ns in o ur school a nd three rural mountain sc hoo ls have been maintained. In 1933 , 1600 pupil inspectio ns were made, while this year there were 4180. Fri day afte rn oon is always set aside IS aiD ie

Mrs. Chalmers says, "W e don 't expect to o much change fr om the old timey ways of the parent S but we do sec result s every year." Wi th nea rl y se ven hundred children o f schoo l age and almost as m any yo ung er children th e importance o f Health Education ca n be seen Community h ea lth education requir es leade r ship ; thi s, Pi Phi , th r o ug h th e fine worlc. o f Mrs Chalmers a nd abetted by the tw o local doctors and l oca l organizations, gives.

It is c h eery inside, with bright Arrowcra ft hangings aga in s t kn o tty pine wa lls and with necessary new equipment added to t he o ld.

Next month while th e C omm ittee i s meet ing in Gatlin bu rg, thi s lovel y ne w building will be appro priat e ly dedicated to broad en ed health service.

From the first d ;lYs o f th e Settlement Sc hoo l when a Chi cago co mmittee member was in spired to tak e some o f the native artistry hom e to se ll, thi s bran ch o f our activity has h e ld the intere s t o f Pi Beta Phi s from coast to coast. Tru e, th e r e were years when th e regular Settl e m e nt School fund s had to ca rry the cost of the Arrowc r a ft Shop; tru e, ther e have been lush years, pa rti cu larly those wh e n for e ign im po rt s w e re unprocu rabl e; but through lea n years and rich we !la\'e rendered a great se rvi ce to the cap abl e moun[aineer who otherwise w o uld ha ve had littl e out let for he r a rt is try a nd no incom e from it At the same ti me thousands o f Pi Phis and o th e rs have enjoyed the beauty of th ese wares.

To Ethel Snow wh ose bu s in ess ability has ca rri ed the Shop through depression as well as prosperity we owe a great d ea l. Sales, both la st yea r and this , mounted above previ o u s years and work ha s b ee n assigned to a greater number of weavers Tw enty-six more clubs and thr ee more active chapters have ca rri ed Arrowcraft p roducts (t hou.R;h there have bee n more goods r e turn ed) _ Clubs and chapters must bear In mind that th e Ar rowcraft Shop has defmite cul es o n what perce nt age of a n o rde r may be retu rn ed if u nsold and w hat thin gs cannot be sent back

T wo changes in th e pe rsonnel a t Arrowcraft came this year. A ugust first our tale nted " M iss M e ta " Schattschneider resig ned as W eaving Supervisor to accept a teachi ng posi t ion at Hi ghlands University, us Vegts, New M exico H ers was a d i fficult place (0 fill . Then this spring " Mi ss Georgie" Duffi eld who had bee n a friend o f Pi Phi in Gatlinburg for many years, wh o had woven the bea utif ul disti n c tive afgha ns for many of us, and who had kept our shop in the Mou nt ai n View H otel. felt she must resign because of ill health. She will be greatly missed M rs. McCutchan. with Pi PN relatives and Pi Ph i inte rest. has ta.ken ove r the sho p and her love both fo r

Pi Phi and for th e crafts shou ld ma ke her a valuable asset.

We were without a Weaving Supervisor until M a rch and Lura Ownby Porter, th e ass istant , deserves specia l comme ndatio n for t he way she ca rr ied o n a l one, ke e ping the weavers supp lied with warps and the stoc k bu i lt up while w e searc hed for a SUCCesso r to " Mi ss M eta ." We fee l fortunate indeed to hav e convinced Tin a M cMo rr an of Euge ne, Oregon, to come to G atl inbu rg. She kn ew th e opportuniti es through having atte nded our Workshop in 1947 and she brings yea rs of weaving experi en ce and an un de rsta nding personality to h e r associations with the weavers. Evid e nces o f her ab ility are o n display h ere.

T o walk int o our gra de sc hoo l and high school build ings toda y o ne cou ld sca rce ly re cogni ze them as places where th e three Rs, o r Science o r M ath a re taught for nin e months of th e year.

All th e classrooms have become workrooms but the most amazing transformation appea rs at the grade sc hoo l where thirt y- fi ve students ar e now for six weeks.

Thi s then is the S u mmer Workshop in progress. Started four years ago o n a trial ba s is, it operates in co n j un c ti o n with the Unive rsity of T ennessee to teach the Crafts and by n o w has su rvived the expe ri me nt a l period.

This year the Gateway Stock Company of New York City under the direction of Me. John Richards asked to return to Gat l illburg and lease the High School Auditorium where for !lye nights a wed, they will offer another form of recreation to the residents and visitors to Gatlinburg. The plays are well selected and well s taged and could point the way to a summer theater project of our own, o n e day.

This year we are delighted to have placed our stamp o f approva l on the first Craft sman's Fair ever to be held In the southern mountains by loaning our grounds for that purpose for four days following the close of th e Summer \'(Iorkshop It is sponsored jointly by the Southern Hi ghlands Handicraft Guild and Southern Hignland ero;, Inc. to both of which we belong. It is a venture to show the highest sta ndards of th e crafts of the region as well as to acquaint the public with the difference between poor and well· made articles.

In our area of the Southern Appa lachian range there is greater diversity of crafts and a larger number of craftsmen than in any other camparable area in the entire country. This Fair will allow people not only to see well·planned exhibits of these crafts but also to see representatives of at least six teen crafts such as Weaving, Basketry, Cabinet making, Potte ry, M etal work, Leather work . Stone.polishing, Wood·working and Wood.rarving, Glass·blowing, and Chair-making demonst.r3ting their various skills. Never before has one had such an opportunity to see and talk with as many craftsmen in one place. You will perhaps recall that in Dr Ta .'lor's sur\el he visualized placed on our beaut :ful hillsi ,le s where Master Crafts· men might one day come and work with their students. This time they will be under canvas tops but the idea is p e rhaps there for us.

This will be much used a nd appreciited as fine educational films are available.. through the University of Tennessee Extension Depart · ment.

We have also received a number of contributions to the Memorial Fund which will be wisely expended ment. We have also recei ved a number of cont ributi ons

We need more Pi Phis working for pj Phi in Gatlinburg to help sp read their spirit of good will In tim<:s we ha\e been both envied and criticized in the 'Bu rg . It was gratifying this spring to receive a letter which !opolce of the fine feeling toward Pi Phi and the wonderful spirit that the Pi Phis bring to Gatlinburg as they come there. Also to learn of the life at the sc hool itself through the closi ng paragraph of one of the reports this year: " May I tell you ho much I enjoy my work . . . with its congeojal co· operative staff and the happy family life at Teachers Cottage!"

Wishing to keep you informed as far as possible. the Committee reports these recent developments fOJ the School. In 1943, following the joint acceptanc( by the County and Pi Beta Phi of th e '"Lease and Agreement ," we had felt assured that Sevier County would acqui re suitab le land and build a grade school building adequate in size to care for the increasin,l!: enrollment. Other than that Pi Beta Phi was to aprrove the plans before the building was started and that it be constructed on land adjacent to th e school, there were no restrictions placed on the County concerning size of the site nor upon the size, type and cost of the building itself.

At no time has Sevier County been able to carry on a n adequate sc hool program without state and federal aid. In 1946·47, the County budget allotted $20,000 for the Gatlinburg a rea, but of this only $6,000 came from the County itself, the balance being from State and Fed eral aid.

The County purchased a sma ll lot adjoining our School property in comp li ance with the lease but did no building because of the war

This past year financial help has come to Tennessee Schools through the new sales tax voted by the legis · lature and effecti ve Jun e I. 1947. Seventy percent of the first twenty million dollar ($20,000,000) income from this sa les tax is assigned to educational purposc" , A little more than hall will be used toward sala ries for all teachers while the b ala nce will :lid the bud,litets of a ll state and county schools A per · centage of an)' overage above the first mentioned twenty millions Will be the County school s for building, maintenance and transportation purposes. Sevier County in its planning has relied on this last source to assist in building four County schools.

In the spring of 1947 a survey of the Sevier County school system was by the State School Planning: Commission. Its findings for the Gatlinburg are thest' :

It recommended consolidating with Gatlinburg, four nelghbnrin,g one and tw o room schools:

Gatlinburg ••.. •. • _ •. }4) pup ils

The Glades ' 67 pup Ils

Binner ,, } pupils

C.rtertow" • 26 pupils

Big R idge (i s olated) ..•. 17 pup ils 508 pupils

It recomme n d ed the a cquisition of s u fficien t ac reage (o r a large e l ementary school unit and the event ual co nstruction of a H igh School building there a lso. Though the present H igh Schoo l se l-up is fa irly adequate, they advocated the two schools togeth('( .

It (e lt the site acquired bv the County adjoi ning our property too s m a ll.

It conside r ed a lease-ag reemen t with Pi Beta Phi o n a twenty yea r basis, too short a period to justify the expendi tur e o f funds by th e state .

Since this survey, th e tow n of Gatlinburg, the County, and Pi Beta Phi have attempted to work o ut a so luti on wi th th e County Court and th e State Board o f Edu ca tion.

Last ynr th e GatlinburA Site Committee reported the fo ll owing motion made and unanimously carried :

" That th e Committee go on r eco rd and ma k e prefe rence that the Pi Ph i School prop erty be se lec te d as the fi rst choice site f o r th e deve lopment of schoo l s for the Gatlinburg a rea for pr esent a nd lonp; range development, providing su ffic ient acreage cou ld be secur ed to meet th e req uiremen ts of the Sta te &a rd o f Education."

Mr Lee, lawyer to Pi Beta Phi, did not advise se lling any o f ou r acreage. It was found that buyin..-: adjacent pro p e r ty would work a har dship on th e ow ners since some of it was i nco me property (tourist ca bins ) The State did not recom m end building the g rad e sc hoo l property on leased ground which was proffered by Pi Beta Phi for a fifty year lease, renewable.

Last Aug u st the Settlement Schoo l Committee a nd Gra nd Cou nc il jointly agreed (a fraternity requi r ement) to offe r t h is proposition as per this telegram sen t to Squire Charlie Clabo of Gatlinburg, Aug ust l. 19 47:

"In order t o help Gatlinburg peop le sa ti sfy State recommendations for Schoo l property, Pi Beta Phi will give one acre land where presen t grammar schoo l sta nd s in addition to eighHenths ( S/ I O) acre already offered. Boundaries o f sa id acre will be determined by Phillip Elw ood , Land scape architect. Grammar school and o th e r buildings to remai n property of Pi Beta Phi a n d may be removed if All property leased o r given must revert to Pi Beta Phi if used for other th an schoo l purposes The fr ate rnity hopes happy rel a ti ons with community for interest of your schoo l s will lo ng co n tinue." ( signed by four Chairman)

Th e County Court has now put th e matter into the hands of the County Board o f Education. Southern mountaineers do no t a lways move with the d ispatch evident in some other parts o f th e cou ntr y and though investigations proceed , no concJusions a.5 to site have hem reached. and no final decisions made

One o f these questions might be, ,. Are we still badly n eeded in Gatlinburg ?" Our help is needed. Th e County cou ld not meet the f u ll state requirements with out our aid. By ou r providing the ext ra teachers by le nd ing laborato ry and other equipment we h e lp ed to place the sc hoo l on th e acc red it ed li st of Tennessee schools.

Everywhere there is a trend toward co nso li da ted sch oo ls With ou r schoo l serving as a central unit and drawing pupils fro m the ou tlying mo untain districts, we offe r an Ext en sion program such as was star ted in the Sugarlands some years but without th e cost o f added equipme nt.

Th e School is the h ea rt of the community, se rving as a cente r for e lectio ns, ci vic and PTA gatherings, and e nt e rtainm e nts

Th e re is no doubt that the who le cause of frate rnit ies would suffe r if the enterprise whi c h was the pio nee r a lt ru istic project fo r both men's and women ' s fraternities, the o n e sti ll mos t s uccessf ul in its achievements, a nd th e one universally recog nized were to be c urtailed

T o get down to co ld hard fa cts: At prese nt the County rece i ves no i ncome from us in taxes but the lac k of that rev enue is more th an balanced by ma ny othe r r etu rns th ey receive from us.

Without o ur schoo l, w e would lose the "Not for Profi t" cla ssificat io n and o ur h o ldin As would become subject to loca l, county, state and fed e ral taxes . And to go JUSt one step fart he r : were this to happen even the " Not for Profit" d ass i fica ti o n of the fr aternity itself might be in jeopardy.

Your knows that without the back.ing of the fraternity as a whole-its chapters and its clubs- we co uld do noth i ng. We co ns ta ntly find more things to do than ou r budget a ll ows. One could scarcely imagine the hel pl essness which would be evident both in the commu nity and at the Schoo l we re Our i nte rests th ere to be withdrawn. As i n a family more children bring widened horizons, h eavier duties and larger expenses, yet we would not neg lect our oldest chi ld in favor of o ne of the others. Nor do we ou r adult children who have upon us ou t into cold n-ality without giving them our best assistance. Y our asks that as you plan yo ur chapter budget or your dub activities for the year, consider please that t he fraternity's oldest child is the

Settlement School and dedicated to our Founders. Stuting out in a new fraternity position as in any other is not easy to do. There is much to learn and thrtt of u.s were new on the committtt durin,!.; this convention intl('rim. To Emma Woerner of Louisville. our Treasurer who goes off the Committtt this summer and whom we shall sorely miss, we owe much for her knowledge of the bacle,!.;round and for her faithfulnl('ss. Al so lowe much to my predccl('s, sor, Odell Sale, for her counsel. From a personal standpoint, to have kn own all of my commit· ttt previous ly has made my tasles pleasant and their complete cooperation has made them lighter Mi ss Onken. as contact member from the Grand Counci l has been of great assistance, for her experi ence and her judgement furnish a balance for what sometimes might be termed mis·directed enthusiasm. We wei· come Grace .Adams Granger, Indiana 6. of Indian· apolis as our new Committee member.

The April issue of Coronet magazine carries an

Yillumination dedicated to American Teachers. prose is by J ohn Ruskin and might typify a part of that which wnuld do in Gatlinburg: "Education does not mean teaching what do not know, It th em to behave. It is not teaching youth the shapes of letters and th e tricks of n umbers, and then them to turn their arithmetic to roguery and their to lust. It means, on the co ntrary, trainin,!.; th em into the perfect exercise and kin,!.;ly continence of their bod ies and souls. It is a painful, continual, and difficult work to be done by kindness, by watchint,:, by warning, by precept, and by praise; but above all by examp le."

REPORT OF DIRECTOR

EARS ago Anna E Hamilton wrote a little poem called Influen ce. The words are these: "This I from the sh.dow of a tree. Thlt to and fro did sway auins! a w.all. Our shadow selvl'S, our Inlluence. may fall Where we ourselves can nC'Ycr be."

This little poem ha s always reminded me of the thousands of loya l Pi Phis who, through the thirty· six years of th e existence of the Settlement School, have contributed of their time, energy. and money to the success of our project in the Smokies. Times change and the isolated mountain settlement has be· come a thriving tourist town. It is hard to say just how much of thi s transformatio n can be traced to the influence of the Fraternity and the Sett lement Schoo l. The advancement of education, better methods of sanitation and health , the cultivation of beauty of surroundings and the economic he lp given through the years, has helpl('d to widen the pathway to the gate of the Great Smoky M o untain National Park and to enrich the lives of many peop les.

CommllniJ1

Visitors to the village will notice a number of changes that have taken place in the la st year. There are a number of new shops and homes. Other places have been made more modern in appearance. The new Methodist Church is gradually nearing comple· tion. A visiti n g tourist gave the church a cari ll onic system bv means of which music is sent out over the valley every Sunday and on special occasions. The Am erican Legio n purchased four acres of ground from Squire Mapl es and is developing the area as their fund s permit. Thi s summer they are sponsori ng a ball team with a well la id out diamond. They hope to make the facilities of the Ji:rounds avai lab le for community recreation. Gatlinburg now has a ve ry creditable little newspape r that is published each week by The Mountain Press. There has long been a n eed for such a venture so we are grateful that in The Gatlinburg Press the news of the comm unity is so well presented. The city sti ll has no water or sewage systems but plans are more advanced for the installa· tion of the water system. A Touri st Bureau has been of much service in placing visitors and tourists in wanted accommodations as well as advertising thl(' area in other res ort sections.

Pi Phi visitor will be most interested in two

changes that have greatly enhanced the beauty of our property .Approaching fr om Kn oxvi lle, the removal of two fences fr om the field in front of the Mountain View Hotel has made a green expanse of lawn a most welcome break in the closely built up town. The second improvement is even more noticeable. The o ld privet hedge along the street east of Arrow Craft Shop has been removed exposing to view the new Health Center. A small he mlock hedge has been set out back of the bui lding and while the season is too late to permit of landscaping we will have a lawn ancl some ann ual plantings around the b:uc o f the building.

Two contributions to community life last summer were the third Workshop held by Pi Beta Phi and the University o( Tennessee and the theatrical en· gagement of the Gateway Stock Company of New York. Ninety different people attended the Workshop for six weeks of intens ive study in crafts and ree· reaction. The Stock Company played in the schoo l gymnasium for nine weeks, Ji:ivin,ll: plays in a profes· sional man n e r

Starting with the 1947·1948 school year, newl v enacted schoo l laws made a nine months' schoo l year mandatory for a ll rural a nd elementary schools in Tennessee and gave sa lary increases to all teachers Additional revenue (rom the two per cent state sales tax is also to be allocated to the counties for purposes. Sevier Couety Court action has been very slow. To dale $40,000 has Sl('t aside for the purchase of a school site in Gatlinburg bUI nothing has bttn acquired.

There have bren two important changes in person · nel in this program during the year. Our talented, artistic Miss Meta resigned to accept a position at Highlands University in Las Vegal, New Mexico, on SeptemMr 1 From then until March 1 we had no designer or "Weave Boss," as the weavers say. Mrs Snow and lura carriM on with splendid help from the girls in the shop . The new designer is Tina McMorran of Eugene, Oregon, who was one of the studcnts at the Workshop last summer. With a 6ne backgro und of study and many years of wcavinA; experie nce she has already proved that she is capable of handlin,g our rather complex system and o( working out beautiful new designs for the shop. Another chan,lite occurred when Miss Georgie, after many years of faithful service, felt that her health made it impossible for her to continue her work as manager of the Hotel Shop. She will be greatly missed The distinctive afghans that she has woven to satisfy many customers may never be duplicatM . At present that shop is closed but we hope: to have a manager for it before the real

Lseason ope"'.

The year has been a banner one for the shop. T"' enty-sUc more clubs and thrtt more active chapten than last year have had goods . Thil is partly offset by more returns than last year. In many instancC5 more than the twenty-five pel cent allowed was reo turned . Money returns from seven clubs have over $1,000 each. The checks for weavers reached an all time hiAh i ll April whrn they amou nted to over $',000 We have considerable stock on the shelves and hope: that it is not too much for the demands of the coming sea.son. Each year ulere are more shops opening in tow n The quality of the weaving offered for sa le by them is improving and more real competition is experienced. We fortunate in that in addition to the tourist trade in town we have our Club orders and outlets through the differeot Guild shops, Mrs Snow expects to take a large stock to Convention and we have been asked to have stock ready for the big Craftsman's Fair to be held on the School grounds later in the summer.

At the close of another year I wish to thank all members of Pi Beta Phi who have made possible the extension of the influence of the Settlement School far beyond its boundaries. It ha s been a pleasure to work with the Grand Officers and members of the Settle · ment School Committe-e who give so many hours of unselfish labor to the work

ARROWCRAFT REPORT

AST yea r I compared gross sales from June, 193'. to the present. This year while we arc still making a profit it might be interesting to compare that phase of Arrowcraft. There were months around Christmas of that first year when ou r own pay checks had to wait so as to the pay roll (or the weavers. If the Clubs would se nd in their money as they se ll the goods it should never happen. Their reports are due in May, I believe, but if you noted accounts receivable as of April 30 report, they still owe in cash or have goods amounting to over $2' ,000. 19 3' did show a pmfil, even so, of $2,992 04; 1936-$4,66) 8); 1937$6,702 86; 1938 something over $9,000. 1939 in· c reased $2,700 but 1940 remained stationary. In 1941 the trend was decidedly uP profit amounted to $14,103 08. 1942 and 1943 dropped back to some· thing ove r $12,000. Then we began to climb again 1944 was $18,095 .8 8; 1945- $20,762 85; 19 46$28,217 .6); 1947-$)7,)77.58. 1948 so far is $31,768 61, which is two months short of a year. If of the Clubs settle this month we should come out ahead of last yea r April just past doubled the profit (or March. May is usually low again but we should tht:n some good months through the summe r

As far as stock goes we have never before had as large an inventory, $36 ,3 06.62 as of April 30. But with weaving supp li es sti ll a bit over $2',000 it seemed wise to get IS much of that as possible ready f or the summer months, Convention, The Craftsman's Fair, and the Southern Highland Shops Quite a few o( the Clubs had Spring sales, in (act has n ever been a quiet month throughout the year . Back in the thirties there were three or (our months when we had to look for thin,!;s to do instead of if th e re would come a time fo r the year's thorough clf'1ning But I do think this is the time to Stop, look, and Li sten With more and better handicrafts

the Country there may come a uturation poi nt, es · pecially if money gets tighter and tighter and living cost keeps on Competition is also getting much keener io Gatlinburg and some of the things other shops sell a bit better A(ter not havin,lit enough to satisfy either the Pi Phis or customers for the past several years, one hesitated about curtaili ng praductjon (or this year at least. But there soon may be • of overproduction. Returns from the Oubs were much worse than last year Many scnt way more than n% back. There were 26 more Clubs sent for goods than last year and three more Chapters. There have been only sevrn Clubs who have sent over $1 ,0 00 in return The next two months should that also.

You all know how very much I like to work with Tina McMorran . It is a joy to feci she is behi nd me 100% and will cooperate in any way possible. There is no reason why we cannot have some very beautiful weaving to scll with the cheape r things. But we can oot lose track o( the fact that very beautiful weaving commands a high price. While our basket bags were selling (or $3 '0 a Pi Phi wrote me they were selling in New Y ork for $15, $20, and $22.50. That cheapens ou r thjngs instead of enhancing their value, a nd a young man in the Shop told me ours were every bit as good as Saks.

Lura deserves honorable mention as never before She carried a hard and difficult job (rom the time Mi ss Meta left until Tina arrived. She kept ' the weavers busy as they have never been busy before and it is due to her that we have so many shelves and boxes of finished products.

I am quite sure that anyone in Gatlinburg will agree with me that I have three of the be!t ,ll:irls in the village Tina had only be-en here a shon time when she was at their loyalty to me, and

by bei ng loya l to me I consider them loyal to Pi Phi . They uke a persona l interest in the appearance of the Shop and a keen interest in the things that they sell. From the little I wait on cus tomers, Pi Phi and otherwise, the r e are ma n y difficu lt and impossible questions to a n swer It is too bad there has nOI bee n a fo lder to hand out (or the past three years, because there is propaganda agai n st the Shop and the Schoo l up and down the street. It is safe to say that morc tha n half o f the Pi Ph is who come a lo ng still say

H" th is is aU made in the Schoo l. " In cl osi ng I want to give due praise to my good friend, Eunice Co le She not o nl y keeps me straight o n facts and but is the ba lance that is needed The two months I was away from the job this winter went smoothly due to her he lp to th e girls. I onl y hope th at I can keep all the staff at Arrowcraft until my ow n retire· me nt

AVIN G been at Arrowcra ft but two short mo nth s, my r epo rt will of necessity be sh o rt

W ith Lura's abl e guidance, I ha ve ca ll ed on some thirty·fi ve of th e w eavers in their homes and have met most of the oth ers office ca ll s and our spring meet ing of th e W eaver ' s Guild

Mindfu l of th e suggestions f r om the committee, I have give n special effort to planning items wh ich will put into production o ld stocks o f materia ls on ha nd. Whi l e this may not show up at once in re o duced in ve nt ory it will clear th e w ay for newe r and mo re interesting threads.

Also at the sugges ti on of the committee, I have tried to find a source of supp ly f or th e heavy chenille wh i ch was used in the bath rugs o f some years ago So far, J hav e f ou n d nothing ava il ab le without a wa it of several weeks for specia l dyeing . We are weaving a s m a ll num ber from o ld stocks o n hand and trying ou t some in ca ndl e wi ck and Ru g ro for your app rova l. We have quite a supp ly o f Rugr o in dark co lo rs and feel th at rug s of th ese w ill sell for bedr oom use as well as bat h ru gs. Th ese will run some wh at less expe nsive th an chenille .

W e are s ubmitting an adaptation o f the Green s· boro prize n apery in a doilie and napkin and a simple doili e in Pi Phi co lo r s which will ti e in with o ur pastel blue n apk in fo r th e trade , but will have a blue napki n wit h Pi Phi lett ers f o r o rd ers.

W e are indebted to M a ry E l izabeth Sta rr Sullivan, Washington A. for the Whig Rose apro n with its ingenious belt arra n gemen t It simpl i fies th e sewing so we ca n have th e weaver bring them in finished in· stead of hav ins to handle them t'A,ice through the sho p We a lso adap t ed the idea to our other apron, as well as the dirndls

1942 Total $13 .398.}8

The M o th er a nd D au gh ter dirndl s are se lli n,lt in lim i ted qu antiti es and since they a nd the ba sket bases are seasona l, we are making them cautious ly. Th e bas ket bags are se lling rather briskly and the basket makers a rc out new shapes to our o rder. Th ey make a spl endid p roject for us ing many rna· terials, some very old and some in limited amounts. W e have also used up a large box of o ld warps o n these and the sma ll runn ers and doll mats.

W e still have a large stock of the Ir ish lin en and fi ll er lin e ns bought during th e war a nd for th ese we designed the new towe l set i n Spanish lace weave. a d resser sca rf in th e same weave a nd part o f the Greensboro set. W e fee l tha t these ca n all ru n for a year with no n ew additio n of those threads

Th ere a re a few new ties with n('( k sca r ves to match some o f th em. and two new neck scarves with head squares to match.

Du e to th e increase in volume of weaving, as s how n in the attached report, we arc having difficulty in finding space to store ou r stoc ks of materia l s. Putting surplus ups tairs necess itates m an y trips a day ca rry ing h eavy pac kages. Orlie is wo rking o n g etting so me mo re shelves in th e work-shop, which sho uld give us a more orderly a rran gemen t and save much tim e.

In co nclu sio n, may I tell you ho w much I enjoy my work at Arrowcraft with its conge ni a l, cooperative staff and the happy family life at Teac h e r 's Cottage. I am doubly appreciative of th e opportu nity fo r th e summer classes with M iss Langbers which will, I hope, bring profit to us both.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL

A T THE start of the school year of 1947·48 I in· .L\.. structed all the School and the 6th, 7 th , and 8th gr des in Ph)' sica l Education I tau,ght all the High School Boys and Girls in H ealth. I also did all the co aching for Ihe boys and ,girls basketball teams.

Our basketball season extended ove r 6ve months and during this time we practiced from 3 : 15 to 5: 15 and from 6: 30 to 9:00, five days a week. with the practicing in the afternoon and the boys at night.

Though we d id a lot of extra work I am su re it paid off. Despite the handicap of havi ng the worst gymnasium and smallest school in our district , our boys won third p lace in Our basketball tournament and our girls second . This is the first time in our school's history a boy's team has won a trophy and the second for our girls. Our won their first one la st yea r

We placed two boys and t hree gi rl s on the alltournament team-on ly one other school was ab le to do Ihis. Newport with 400 students, Seviervi lie with 600 and Pi Beta Phi with 140 students, each had tw o teams on the floor receiving at the co nclusion of the tournament. Both Newport and Sevierville had a coac h for each of their teams but I was the only coach from Pi Beta Phi.

Besides the trophies, we received $161 as our part of the gate r eceipts, the largest amount r eceived by aoy school.

Dur ing the regular 5e1son our girls won 20 out of 2} Bames This is a record that is seldom reached Oue boys 'No n 1) out of 2S games, whi ch, I think, is an outstanding record as al l of our opposing schools are much larger than (lurs.

With the help of th e PTA. which gave $6'0, Pi Beta Phi Fraternity which gave $300 a nd the county, which gave $300 , we were ab l e to install showers in

our schoo l. In addition, an estimated S250 improvement in the showe r rooms, was made by the schoo l in building shelves, benches and putting a rubber mat o n the floor. The money for th ese improvements was taken out of the athletic fund and I d id the work.

Th ere are four s howe r heads in each of the shower rooms, and our showers are the best I have seen in our cou nt y.

The senior class of 1946·47 left Sn for which to build stage sce nery . With this money I bou,ght materia l and built stage props with an es timated value of S200. These are so constructed that they can be used year after year.

When Mr King left and I assumed the duties of Principa l. I discontinued instructing the 6·7·8 grades in physica l education, but I continued teaching unti l the end of the 6th month I have continued to instruct all the high school students in physical edu· cation in addition t o duties of Prin cipa l.

As co·sponso r of the senior cla ss I with a ll th e class functions as far as time wou ld permit. As " house father" I feel Sure I shou ld have more time to spend with the boys. We are still a little too tasy with them though two of the boys left because they thought we were too tight on them. I do feel the boys have improved i n most respects unless it is their work on the farm T o me t hey are lazy in this respect.

The PTA paid for th e insta lling o f new in our schoo l building. They have proven to be very successful. Th e PTA also paid for the installing of a stag e in the music room .

With mo ney from the PTA we have been able to kccp soap and paper towels in o ur wash r ooms.

R EPORT O F C RA FT DEPARTMENT

FIVE years of Crafts in Pi Ikta Phi school has proved to be a satisfactory and enjoyable ence. The children are eager for each new project, and take pleasure in the discovered use of their hands.

This has b«n the busiest of the five years because of three additional classes. There have been two first grades. and because o f the size of the seventh and eighth grades and the limited space in the shop, those two grades were divided into two classes each. This made twelve grade school classes, and the high school class which met for tw O hours every day.

Both the boys and girls high school cidsses were made up of juniors and seniors year, because so many seniors who planned to enter college found they lackel'! credi ts and had to take extra math. This left room for juniors to enter the craft classes. Both Mr. Hu sky and t felt the change in the type of student this year and we found it necessary to make eve.ry effort in order to produce satisfactory results in ou r high school classes. The girls were happy in their work and some did very well, but I missed the enthusiasm of preyious cl asses.

Weaving was carried on in th e usual ma nner, then pottery which became eyen more pop ular We visited the Pigeon Fo rge Pottery, and M arc us Ceramics, the new potte ry here in Gatlinburg. Bl oc k printing peoved to be cspeda ll y interesting thi s year as each girl used her name from which to make her design and printed it o n ap rons, skirts, and o ther item s. Bound books with crayon deco rated covers were made , leat her purses, braided gimp bracelets a nd character dolls. We were fortunate at Christmas to have Mr s. Lexow come to the shop and give a demonstration of OIristmas d«orations whi ch co uld be made a t home. Mi ss Williams was i nvited to jo in us with her third year H ome Economics class. Both classes later made severa l of th e items.

I reserved ;I. loom for th e 8th grade girls and they came in wheneve r possible the entire yea r until each girl has had the opportunity of weaving a small pi ece

of overshot material. They have also done potten made leather purses, gimp bracelets, stenciled Christ mas cards, learned to make cross stitch designs on checked doth, and fina lly asked if they might make character do ll s too. The 7 th a nd 8th grade classes have visited our local pottery and M rs. M c D onald ga'\ie a demonstration of turning a pot on the wheel. The 7 th gr2de story is practically the same 2S the 8th.

The junior g roup of the 4 th , :5th a nd 6th grades, have studied lettering, co lor and design. Some interesting pictures were made with c rayons, then painted with bl:lck temper:l. Many o f th«e were quite charm· ing and the teachers were happy to pin them up in their rooms. Pottery was done in the 6th grade but there were too many ch ildren in each of the other grades (or work in clay_

A table loom with a colorfu l warp was put in a second grade room and in the third grade. There was much exciteme n t th e day I brought the l ooms. I have been pleasantly surprised with the weaving these litd e children have done. I took clay to o n e of th e second grades, one of the mothers wanted to come help, and it was one of the happiest class periods o f the year. Char les Earl Ogle modeled hi s fath er's motor boat. and Miranda made a turtle.

At the beginning of the year I bought twelve copies of fam o us paintings and at various times we had a in art appreciation. The story of th e art ist was told, and the painting described. The children showed great int eres t and each teacher was well pleued and has said she would like that particular work continued.

J believe the 6ve years of crafts bas been helpful as well as enjoyed by the children Many m o thers haye spoken to me of th e work done, and that they were pleased with the crafts taught the c hildren It has a happy time ( o r the children a nd for me, a nd we have lea rn ed much from each other.

A T THE close of this first year of teaching experir-\.. e nce, I leave with many happy memories co ll ected fr om wo rkin .c: with stude nt s. A s I am ge tting married thi s summer, I will not b e returning to Gatlinburg this fall 1 have e nj oyed with the faculty a nd l ivi ng at ou r Teache r·s Cotta.lr1;e

From the remaining money in my budget , p lans have been made to secure a new treadle Singer machine. Providi ng this machine is not obta in able at the present time, other pieces o( sewing equipment will be purchased With the other money, a much n eeded Iri sh l inen table cloth has been added, severa l new books and many small pieces of kitchen equipment. The students enjoyed a very interesting as well as

profitable experien ce. Th e University of Tennessee chose Pi Beta Phi as o n e o f their training centers for girls major ing in H o me Eco nomi cs Two Senior gi r ls were sent to work with me and the students for o ne month. Durin g this time, they lived at th e Teacher ·s cottage and assumed the responsibilities o f a faculty member The student teachers felt it was 3 pri"ilege to come to Gatlinburg a nd work with OUI students.

The FHA has been very active this year in that we had severa l community ac tiyiti es. We attended seyeral meetings at UT and Sevierville _ At the meetinK in SevierVille, two of th e Aids w(!re e lected officers and I W.lS chosen as their counselor.

In the Junior class, the girls espec i a ll y enjoyed

t h e ir pro jec t on refinishing the floors of th e department. Th ey did a beautiful piece of work and it waS a good lea rning experience for them. Other in div idu a l PlOjects were: cl othing construction, adva nced meal prepara ti o n , candy cookery, management of department, p lanning Junior-Senior banquet, vocational guidance and Outside spea kers and Ell m were used to aid in interest development.

The sophomor e cla ss enjoyed their study or clothins; construction, meal preparation, mann ers , c hi ld care. Their most intercstio,l; problem was on Co urtship·Marriage. W e had as our guest spea ker, Revuend Ashley who rc ad the marriage ceremony and d iscussed the impo rtan ce of a happy marria,::e. I feel

that the girls learned a great deal of practica l know I· edge fr om this problem. fr eshman girls grea tl y enjoyed their problem on child care. We had a playschool for chi ldren from the ages of 2-6. Th e students enjoyed working with Other projects were: nutriti o n , personal .'!;room_ manners, basic foods and basic c1othin.'!; techniqu es.

A s sponsor of the Junio r clas s, th e re were many extracurricular actiVities which includ ed chape l pro· gcams, class social functi ons, money making ideas, class play and Juni o r-Senior banqu et.

Probably the best sign of increasin,l.t musical appre· ciation has been the increasing demand for ou r singing

groups on the part of the community, And on the part of the youngsters themselves, is the wholesome with which they prdorm.

Since the local P,T . A. has given the platform fo r the Music room, there has bt't-n an evident develop· ment of poise, grace, self.discipline and social-minded· ness. The use of good records is showing the value of the record-playe r as many different groups r equest access to our library.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY

THE PERSONNEL of the Publicity Committee has remained unchanged for the past two yea r s Our aim has been to active and alumnz groups to give their chapters good publicity through their local papers. Newspapers welcome articles on meetings and social events. It also gives a Pi Phi newscomer to a community an opportunity to become acquainted with the local club Founders ' Day and Pi Phi loyalty day are always opportunilies for good new spaper articles. News about the Settl e ment Schoo l is always welcomed by the press, especially Settlement School sales . The beautiful a rticles are always in demand in any community and it gives us a chance to publicize the wonderful work. we are d o ing at the School.

The Committ« has furnished material on the Holt House, Settl e ment School, and Founders' Day to clubs

which have asked for assistance We prepared III ' article on Pi Phi Loyalty day to be used for publicity

Active chapters who have asked for assista nce in a rr:mging material for thei r l oca l use have received special attention It has been recommended that when possib le, a picture of a loca l even t or of a visiting officer be used as an added attraction to an article . It has been Ii real pleasure to serve my fraternity in the capacity of Publicity Chairman I would like to thank o ur splendid group of national officers for their help and encouragement and also the members of my Committee who have been so cooperative and helpful. I fee l that J have been very fortunate to have had the privilege of work.ing with fine women

COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION

THE popularity o f the Fraterni ty System seems to have gained much momentum in the past year and Ihe inte r est o f th e alumnr i s b«ominJ: increasing· ly stren&the ned in exte n s io n . The opportunity to ,litO on campu ses with fine educational ra tings and exce l Itnt types of s tudents has bttn offered frequently to Pi Beta Phi.

Co r respo nd en ce has been carr ied o n with alumnz, alum nr clubs, a nd organizations themselves in many places. These have been repor t ed t o Grand Council ,lOd investiga ted thr ough persons who knew co nd itions in the school and provi nce concerned. The Alumna!' Club o f Birmingham and othe r clubs through Zeta Provin ce have shown great inter est and enthusiasm in a cha pter at th e U n ive rsity of Alabama. The President of the University o f Alabama has been most helpfu l in making this an interesting field for extension and colonization there has been voted by co nventio n action. Th e Alpha Omegas at Kent Stale College continued to be interested in being granted a charter. Beta Province Chapters were asked for thei r opi nions. Since ther e were five active chapters in the Sta t e ther(' was not sufficient en thusiasm for this to be carried further The alumna: in Fl o rida ha ve shown much interest in the University of Florida and the University of Mi am i as well as the University of Alabama

TThe alumna: of Tulsa and o f Santa Barbara are in touch with your committee and show their con tinued interest.

Th e required province visits for K l: e at the College of Puget Sound were made as authorized and this group formally petitioned for a charter which was granted by this Convention.

Of specia l interes t to all Pi Beta Phi s has bttn the estab li shment of Tennessee r at the University of T enne ssee. Because of the visits o f many Pi Phis to the Settlement School th e feeling o f belonginp; to the Uni ve;:rsity has bet:n often t'xprc.::sscd. Thi s fills a long felt want. The Grand Vi ce- Pre siden t was in charge of the arrangements for the colonization and was the installing office r .

Inquiries fr o m many groups keep you r Extension Committee ever mindful of the opportu niti es which are frequently afforded and developments are ca r e fully followed.

Your Chairman wishes to express her deep gratitude to each of th ose many pe rso n s who have made this work possible. It has been a real joy to be associated with this phase o f frat ernity work which has a lways b ee n dear to her.

COMMIT TEE ON SCHO LARSHIP

HIRTY-SOC years ago, in 1912 Pi Beta Phi establi s h ed the first definitely organized scho larship work- nati ona l in i t s scopc:-- to be undertaken by any fraternity. This wa s the b eg inning and sin ce that tim e, we of the sc hol arship committees have worked faith· fuUy t o rea ch our goa l- EVERY CHAPTER IN THE UPPER THIRD

We are happy to repo rt that the majority of co l· leges have r e turned to their prewar schedu les, but there is still the late problem of over·crowded cl asses and insufficient supply o f t extbooks. As in th ese previ ous years, this influences greatly th e records made in scholarship by our different chapters.

For the year 1946 -1947, sixteen of OUt chapters have been first o n their campuses; 34 o th ers were in the upper third , making :50 in the upper third; 22 in the middle third; but 14 in the lower t hird, including the four lowest chapters. Six chapters were unable to obtain their averages; eight were first f o r part of the yea r Of the 16 that were first for the enti re yea r, North Carolina A has been first for seven consecutive years; Wyomi ng A , six; Ill inois H , five; Kansas B, f o ur. Acco rding t o the filei s in ce the yea r 193:5·36, but nOl f or co n secutive years , Illinois II has first on her campus nin e times (she was unable to get the averages for th e year '3:5.'36 and '36-n); North Carolina A And Wyoming A, nin e ; Illin ois B-o., seven ; Colorado A, six; Iowa .A and Iowa B, five. These are wonderful tec o rd s and the Airls are to be commended for their fine attitude towards their college work.

The avertge f or the provinces is 26 847. a little highet-l.On-than th at of the year and 1.671 higher than that of the year 1944.45 Two provinces-Epsilon and Theta-are outstanding for each had four chapters ranking first on their camIota and Lambda are unique in that they, as provinces, have ranked in the upper third for the last

three years. The committee appreciates the awarding again by the Fcaternity of th e schola rship ring All chap ters except Mas sac huse tts A, New York 1' , Ontario B, Geo rgia A , Illinoi s E , and Manit oba A have sent in their applications. The chapters have been very en· thusiastic ove r the new award of give n by the fraternity to the girl showing the .g rea t es t improve· ment for th e year in the chapter ha vi ng the highest percentage above the all-women's average. It is to be regretted that all chaplers could n ot compete , for not all colleges issue comparative averages, nor give the all-wome n 's average. Permiss io n was given to some chapters to u se the all.fraternity women's average in stead o f that o f the all·college women. It is hoped that this n ew award will help to create in the chapters an added interest in high e r scholarship

Th e D ecember ARROW published the names and pictures of our h ono r girls. of whom we are jus tly proud. There were 183 honor students as compared to 1 I 0 for the year ending June 1946, and 69 for the year ending June It was poss ible this year to inel ude in our li st th ose winning A A .d; we hope that soon we ca n include a ll academic honors.

The nati o nal chairman wishes t o exp r ess her sin· cere appreciation of the fine cooperation and work of the province presidents, of her assistant, Ba rbara Merri ck, and of the help given her by Lucile Carson, and Gladys Scivally of the Central Office, and by M iss Onken. who has always been so eager and willing to share her enthusiasm and inspiration. It has been a great pleasure to work with this committee' and it is hoped that we have made a good beginning towards higher scholarship in all chapters_ "Life is just a se r ies of completed beginnings."

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

I N THE fall I sent the usual form letter askin,s:: th e chapter secretaries to inform me of the names and addresses of two groups of girls: who had to another campus where there is a chap· ter of Pi Beta Phi; and all the rest of the under· Ilraduate actives who had not returned

Replies were received from 69 chapters the following information: 44 chapters reported 72 trans· fers to 40 campuses; 69 chapters reported 321 undergraduate actives who did not return.

Tutters wefe sent personally to eac h of th ese Th e ir sta tus as alumnr and the general rules for affiliation were explained. The otht:r girls were re o mind ed that they were alumnr and were urged to become active in th e alumnr work . The chapters where tran sfe rs were reported were also notified and urged to make it easy for the transferring Pi Phis to keep up their ties.

COMMITTEE ON CHAP ERONS

He Committee on Chaperons wi s he s to report a second interesting year which began in $tptember when the cards and data o n chapero ns began coming in from the active chapt er co rrespon ding secretari es.

I pau se here-and it really is a " pause that re o freshes"-to pin an orchid upon all th ese effic ient young officers who have acquired the habit o f prompt· ness

It was with much e nthu siasm that we announced Purdu e's Summer Workshop on Guidan ce and Child Behavior. Letters were sent to all our chaperons tell· ing them that our Grand Council considered this tr aining of such impor tance that i t would pay the tuition of any Pi Beta Phi hou se director who wishes to attend these Workshops

We extended a welcome to sixteen n ew chaperons this year, all of wh om are qualified culturally and educationally [or th eir positions. Several of these have e.xpressed their appreciation for o ur bulletin on Re lations betw ee n Chapter and Chaperon,

Tour Hou se Rules and Rul es for Chaperons, and also fo r Maria Lronard's splendid book, The Chaperon and Housemother , which Grand Council has so thoughtfully provided

Since our last report one of our finest Chaperons, Oklahoma Alpha's beloved Gladys Scivally, who had been with us for many years. resigned in order to take the position of Director of untral Office , We regret losi ng her from our Chaperon gro up but we are forlunate that she is still serving Pi Beta Phi. To her and her office I express my sincere appreciation for the assistance they have give n to me.

To our Grand Secretary who so untiringly gives of her time to Committee Chairmen, to all members of Grand Council who never fail to support us, and to Mi ss Onken especially, to whom I repeatedly turn for information and assistance, I wish to say, Thank You

HOME FOR PI PHIS COMMITT EE

HE Convention of 1946 authorized the appointment of a whose assignment was to make a nation·wide survey of the interest and need for such a home, and to gather information about the number of members who might be inte rested in living in su ch a home and to co ll ect such general lacts as wouJd be pertinent to such an undertaking; in sho rt.. I fact·finding commission

The committee appointed by Grand Council in· dudes: Mrs. M. M. Adams. East Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. } T Brand Salem, Mrs Frank H Gar·

rott, Dallas, Tex .; Mrs George Pierce, Winthrop M ass.; Mrs Edward l. Middleton. Evanston, III., chairman . In the interim betwC'Cn convmtions the has contacted all alumnae clubs and active asking op inions o n a home fo r members They have been offered questionnaires to help crystallize their ideas and they have been further urged to offer suggestions.

This [act-finding commission has co rresponded directly with many homes now opera t ing and has had

maoy prrsond intr:rviews with directors of such With the information thus colle.:ted and con· vinced of increasing need., your committee: offers the following recommendations :

1. That as an Alu mnI: project, to be directed and financed by the AlumnI: Associates, one house sha ll be opened as soo n as possible and the home to be located wherever it Settns most advantageous from every standpoint.

2. The plan of o rganization shou ld be that followed by similar groups, and the group must become orga ni zed in conformity ""ith the laws of the particular sta te in which it is to operate. Any home for Pi Phis shou ld be opera t r:d not for profit . An y surplus may be expended on ly f o r the improvement of the institution or to mCd: the in ca r i ng for those who a re unable to pay f or their own care.

No definite ca n be made as to the orga n izatio n o f a Pi Beta Phi corporation n Ot for profit because t he procedure and documents to be used depend upon the laws of the state in which the co rporation is to be o rAa ni zoo.

Loca l co unse l s h ou ld be co nsulted i n th e organizatio n of a unit or board where a home is to be established . There arc various forms which may be followed and which should be drafted by l egal counsel.

T3. T he Corporation should be called PI BETA AL UM JE ASSOC IATES and should consist of , central goverDlog board to be located in one of the followinllt cities : Los Angeles, Dallas, Chic'RO, Cleveland or Washington, D .C. A local board sh o uld be located wherever a house is to be established and should be set up according to state laws

The purpose o f the corporation is to establish and maintain a home for elderly Pi Phis and nOt for profit; to buy and to hold real estate for the use of said home and to sell the same when deemed necessary; to r eceive, hold, use, and dispose- of .gi[u, dona· tions and bequests fo r th e benefit of said home and to do a ll things necesS2ry to establish, maintain, and to carry on such a home.

On this thin skeleto n are stru ng what setms to be the most vital parts of the wo rk o f this committee At this time I wish to express my gre:u gratitude to those of my committee: who have aided In the work, to the Grand Council for such a survey pos· sible and t o M iss Onken. in particu lar, who has been so sympathetic and so cooperative and SO wist in her comments.

RUSHING SURVEY COMMITTEE

HlS committee was authorized by a vote of the delegates to the 1946 Convention which read : '·That Pi Beta Phi assume leadership in developinR , new method for select i on of membership and give who lehearted s up pa" to the NPC com mittee ap· pointed to study this problem. 1) Th at Grand Council appoi n t a commi ttee fr o m Pi Beta Phi to make an independent study coopera ting with the NPC committcc. 2) That th e report of this committee be made to the next Convention : ·

Th e primary co nside rati on o f thi s committee has thus betn an overa ll Pan hellenic o ne rather than o ne whi ch l oo ked to th e in te rn al changes in Pi Beta Phi procedures Those internal procedures have, ho wever, been g iven so me consideration a lso and some sugges· ti o ns a re presented he rewith.

The actual working with the PC Membersh ip Selection Committee did not appear practical, for Grand Council felt that the NPC Comm ittee: might consider such interference an indication o f Pi Phi's l ack of confidence in it. The repo rt o f the NPC Committee was studied by the Pi Phi Com mittee howev er and th e obstacles it faced were noted. Seven plans were worked out by the NPC commi ttee for different types of campuses, but trial o f th ese pl a ns wa s no t made. Th ese plans might or might not have proved pra ct ica l if tried.

Our committee be lieves th a t o ne of the primary reas o ns for the existence of frat e rniti es is the brin g ing: into close re lationship girls of simi lar tastes, int erests, and standards-a congenial group. There is on ly o ne way in which th e active members may judge the prospective and that is by getti ng: to know the new girls o n the campus. The refore, co ntac ts must be made. Th e committee: fe lt that if there w er e to be a subst itut e fo r ru shing, the term " rus hing," whi c h carries with it the th ought of haste, turbul e nt motion. confused struAAle, shou ld be e li mi· nated This te rm is o ne which has lo ng bee n uso· ciated with the fraternity system and would not be discarded easi l y. but surely there should be some word which w o uld give more di.r;nity to the very serio us

ta s k of se lecting members f or dignified o rgan iulio m H owever , until the turbulent rushing process is e1iml. n ated. to call it by ano th er name would accomplish nothi ng As yet the committet has not f o und the ri gh t word, but is using the term "affiliation week '· for tbe fo ll owi ng plan

Since the disappointed girl is the great problem o f our selection, this committee s uggests an ·'affilia · t ion week" to be set up in such a way that incoming women students would have an oppo rtunity to study aU social organization o n the ca mpus by meeting informally girls belonging to fr aternit ies and Rirls fr om th e independent groups They co uld thus lcarn the advantages and disadvanta.r;es of fraternity memo bership. This might be w o rked o ut so t ha t every gi rl who wis hes to belonR to a social group might know that while the fr ate rniti es are invitational, there are also shall we say a " T o w n Club ·· open o nl, to no n · fraternity t o wn girls, and ··Campus Club' · open olll} to no n fraternity resident women studen ts On campuses not having these non -se lective groups Panh e l· le ni c might sponsor their orga nization D uri ng affiliation wecl, '· the no n·selective orga nizations would have the same opportunities of knowing the ne w girls and the n ew girls of knowing them Soc ial entertain ing suc h as our present rush parties w ou ld be e1imi · nated entirely, and a series o f ··get acquai nt ed·' a ll · women affairs would be substituted. At the time o f giving p r eference Town Club and Campus Clubs, with ap pro priate names, would be li sted right along with the fr a ternities and girls wish ing to join these indepe ndent clubs would ex:press themselves thus at this time Thus all girls wishing to join a socia l group cou ld do so a t the same time

This committee favors the affi liatio n program which imm ediate ly precedes registration One o f the greatest criticisms of th e fraternity rush program by college fa culties and adm ini stntion is its interference with th e co ll ege cu rri cu lum and class attenda nce. When pre-school affi li ation is not feasible, the short period at the start o f school, as now r ecommended by NPC. is acCt:pt,lble. The committee: disapproves a

deferred affiliation because of the loss to th e new members of the serv i ce rendered by the fraternity in assis tin g in o rienting, guidance, and counciling, so va lu ab le. to the new girls in their first few weeks in new enVIrons.

Thi s committee requested th at Pi Beta Phi recommend t o NPC that Ru shing Information Committee be appointed by City Panh c ll enics to procure fr om each loca l high schoo l comprehensive information about its graduates. such information to be pooled and made available to any interested fraternity and se nt to the co ll ege Panhelleni c con cerned. Thi s 5U.'!:gestion was made becau se the committee believed that the informati o n would morc rea di ly be made available to Panhell en ic than to anyone group, and it would avoid duplication by th e different groups.

Th/: following are proposed chan,:;es in Pi Be ta Phi procedure:

1. Requir e that all girls bid be recom mended by a me mb er of Pi Beta Phi.

2. That recommendation blank s be sent by the perSOn recomme nding a gid to the Alumnz Recommendation s Committee o f th e girl's ho me town. The Alumme Recomm endation Committee would then investigate and forward the blank to the chapter concerned. Supplementary letters could p;o from the r eco mm ending member to the chapter.

3. That the Recomm endi ng Blank be revised to include more complete informat ion.

The f o ll owing are po licies recommended by this com mittee:

1. That loca l Panh ellenics be to hold

Tpublicity to a minimum and do all within its power to eliminate publi c demonstrations durinp: affiliation week and on pledge day.

2. That local Panh e ll enics e liminate rushinp; fe es.

3. That Pi Beta Phi not favor a Panh e llenic or university controlled quota system.

4. That NPC be urged to pr epare a brochure telling of fraternity aims and purposes and contain in,:; information of each of the member ,l.!;roups, suc h brochure to be made available to prospective members and their parents.

I n the matter of con sid eratio n of ,c;irls with Pi Beta Phi ba ckground, thi s committee reco mmends to chapte r s that they consider this heritage as a very ,il:reat asset, and that they give these girls a fai r adva n tage over othe r prospective m<:mbers when the legacy's qua lifications are commensurate with others being considered

The committee feels that NPC has made a p;reat s trid e in improving the situati on thi s year by admitting to A ssociate Members hip eleven groups, some with a restricted membership a nd o thers formerly res tricted to a specific field. NPC i s thus extending its services and valuable association to these well estab l ished groups and is extending membership in NPC groups to many more girls attending college.

Thi s committee ha s worked at decided disadvantage in not having had the opportunity of meeting togethe r in thi s study, but hopes that some of its work and thinking will be of service to the fraternity and to the fraternity system.

COMMITTEE ON ALUMN.IE AWARDS

HE Committee on Alumna: Awards has ca rried on its work by cOtre!pondence. Quest ionnair es, a copy of which is submitted, we re sent to all a l um na: clubs. The final tally showed that of the one hundred thirty-five clubs respo n ding, sixty-six favo r ed an award , and s ixty-nine we re opposed. The on ly other point on which the returns were so close as to see m hard l y decisive was the matte r o f the nature of the award: twenty-eight clubs favored a certificate of recognition with a life-membership in th e alumnre department, and twenty-f ou r favo r ed a special guard pin to be attached to the Pi Beta Phi badge.

I n view of these returns, the Committee wishes to recomm e nd to the Alumna: Sessions of Co n vention that an alumnr award be given annually for sen ice to fraternity and community. The hon oree shall be n ominated to the Province Vice President concerned,

Ewith Provin ce Vice Pr esident selecting the outstanding nominee from her province for submission to a com· mittee of three to be e lected by the A l umnre Sessions of Convention to serve for the interim of convention. Th e honoree shou ld be a member of a club whe n possible, but if no club ex ists in her loca lity club membership should not exclude her from eligibi lity for the award.

The committee votes to have a certifi cate of recognition accompany th e award, but leaves the matter of the nature of th e award to the decision of the Alumna: Sessions of Conventio n

COOPERATION OF PI BE T A PHI WITH SAVE THE CHILDR E N FEDERATION

ARL Y in October one questionn ai re was sent through the office of the Grand President of Pi Beta Phi to every active chapler and alum na: club, requesti ng info rmati o n as to whether o r n o t a contributi on would be made during the year L947- 1948 to sponsor the work with underprivileged children of European countries-made destitute by World War II

It has been my privilege to o rganiz.e these questio n· naires and as the money has been pledged and con· tributed, to requisiti on its expenditure through the Save the Children Feder ation. All money has been handled thr ough our Grand Treasurer, Lolita Snell Prouty.

To date, the results of the effor t of Pi Beta Phi to alleviate the suffering among children i s as follows: Contributions received as of June 14 , 1948$4,4)) .2 8

Number of active chapters contributing-45

Number of alumna: clubs contributing-94

Number of child ren receiving aid-55

Undoubtedly the severa l pledges which are still outs tanding will soo n be paid, and this report can be supp leme nted accordingly.

In the morning's mail came a letter from the Save the Chil dren Fed eration in which the n ames of four chi ldren who seem most in need are given. It is my

that the complete payment of all pledges will make possible the sponsoring of these four children.

This letter closes with the followinl;!; paral':raph: "We do want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks both to you and to Mrs Pr ou t y and Miss Onken for the time and efTort which you have given so generously to tilt sponsorship program of Pi Brta Phi , and ask you to rxtend to the members of the frat erOily at convention our deep app reciation for

EDITOR OF THE CONVENTION DAILY

F TtIE hotel orchestra had played, "I've been work · ing on the railroad," some day at lun ch time, I am confident Ih e entire Daily staR' would have risen in a body 10 take a bow, thinkmg of course it was their theme son g The Mono n tracks in front of the hotel , and ptrhaps the depths of old Plulo's sp ring , were about the only places in Fre nch Lick "here the Dail} office was not moved in its wanderings through. ou t the week of Convmtion

It is a wonder to me there were not more mistakes, for I can truthfully say no one ever worked under such trying conditions If I hadn't had a supe rb sta fT and a reading public that seemed to understand, I never cou ld have come through with the first issue, to say no thing of the succeeding ones.

Grand Council may recall that after Swampscott I explicitly stated that I did not care to undertake editing another unless we had adequate accessible space somewhere along the beaten path. With this in mind , the Convention Guide in her early planning assigned me ideal quarters. These, however, were reo allocated to the Historical Exhibits before we ever reached French Lick Mrs. Wild had assured Mrs Green , and rightly so, that I was once more concerned with clean, light, well located space, than o ne with a ll the trimmings

It is an old story to most of you how we never got i nside our quarters benuse of express packages and uncrated machinery. \'(Ihen it looked as th o ugh we might have to postpone the first issu e, we were the press room. This was a tiny hot hole in the wa ll that answered no n e of our requirements. Had we re o mained there, I am certain our reporters would never have returned to bring in their stories. At Mrs. AI· ford's in sistence, we we re then moved to the North Porch. This proved quite adequate although it meant we had to carry our typewriters inside each night and I had to tran spo rt to my room the large suitcase that served as my file. I don't know what ever became of our request for a file For two issues we functioned from this porch then we found we were to be moved again Thi s time becau se the overlapping machinists ' convention insisted on it fo r their cocktail party.

When I left for lunch that day Mr . Ames assured me he had p lacated th e machinists who had agreed to hold forth in the Demon's Den. When I returned from lun ch with two hours to do all the last minute work, we were being evacuated to the Dance Studio. In order to get a breath of air, we had to place our table near the doorway. Every time a waiter wanted to haul thr o ugh a tub of Old Fitzgera ld or a plate of sh rimp, our equipment had to be shoved back ou t of the way Our next move was back to the North Porch, but this time to the far end someone had scheduled .a meeting in our original location. Thi s co nstant disruption of work at the very busiest time was a real source of annoyance to all of us It ceasal to be funny, and only my earlier stalement to the Convention Guide that I had a sense of humor and a good disposition. kept me from "blowing my top."

M aybe I sho uld have let o ff steam some way_ 'I l l would have had a better paper ow that I look ba ck o n th at week , I simply d o not see how \1o'e ever got that paper out o n time or out at all, for that matter. Our printer was fine and cooperative but his typesetter was a problem. H e needed an orientation course to fraternity publica ti o n s and an elementary o ne in spelling. It was quite dishearten ins to have our attractive Convention Ini · tlate say, after complimenting uS in a genera l way, "Bu t you misspelled judgment." That wasn ' t all that was misspelled. But I offer no apologies. I am rather proud that things weren ' t printed ups ide down or crosswise.

,..Ie. Gruber o f th e Spring Valley Herald came for our copy about four thirty, but it was nearer five · thirty when we turned it all ove r to him He was patience itself and he did a marvelous job of fill in ,;: our stories into the space and making our heads fit. We had no time to count words or read proof. We might have had time for the former if we hadn't spent so much time moving and setting up office each day At both Pasadena and Asheville we read proof and cou nt ed our words Naturally there were very few typographical errors. I ca n think o f a lot of things that would have improved the appearance of the paper, but at the time the main problem was to get it into copy form.

I have takm about half of this report to t'xplain our main problem It exasperated me because I had felt that sure ly this year we cou ld edit the perfect paper.

..As usual three main things stand out in my mind as contributing greatly to the success of any conven· tion daily; th e editor, th e staff, and the printer. Add to these adequate quarters. a schedule which will en · ab le the staff to cover late news, and facilities for secu ring liv e art, and the result should be a paper full of news, peppered with l ively features and new art, and one which is distributed before that news is too old to be int erest ing Since this was my fourth convention as editor, I felt I was in a position to profit by my former mistakes. Experience undoubtedly had given me more confjdence and a clearer idea of what J might expect in th e way of staff cooperation. I knew too what should be done ahead of time If there was one thing my past perfo rm ances had taught me it was that everything that can be done before reaching Con. vention i s just that much time saved and" ill relea se the editor when she is pushed later on. Advanc< work COunts in many ways

Fir st of all J planned the five issues, usin,R; thl program as it appeared in the ARROW . I had a note· book with suggested stories for each day and worked out from thi s program just whai should be our lead story. This wa s a real help since we had to take into account that the paper which appeared let's sayan Tuesday n oo n, went to press on Monday at five o'cl oc k . For this reason the lead story had to be what · ever happened Iu 0 evenings previous o r else we had to "rite an advance story. Only someone who

familiar with newspaper woele can undt:rstand how disheartening it is to leave unc overed the big sto ries of the night before Or rather to have to pos t po n e the coverage until the next day I menti o n this be(ause I feel future editors may be able to w o rk out a Jifferent time schedu le.

In the past I have written most of the editorials myse lf, but a few years ago the Grand Council membe r s eac h wrote one. These proved so succes s ful that I wished to have them again. H owever I decided instea d to ask Isabel Winkler, Ma rie H agee , Virginia Weaver, Ruth Smith, and Francese Evan s Iv es. The firs t thr ee responded with s plendid editorials which we r e used on three succeed ing days. Mrs. Smith decided not to wcite one and Mrs. Ives evident I v did n ot r ece ive my le tt er . I wrote th e other five editoria ls. When I broached th e s ubject of Grand Council members contributing editorials I had no de;ire to get o ut o f work I s imply fell that th ey would bring a fre s h viewpoint to th e column. After all f've been saying the same thing n ow for four conventions and I feel it may sound trite

With the hope of adding some thing ju s t a bit different, J sea rch ed through the history and compiled the "Looking Backward" co lumn which helped fill in o ne of th e ea rly is sues.

Fill e r is important in any paper. I wrote reams of it using th e interesting little bit s o f news about chapter s and clubs which were included in Miss Onken's month l y letter to the Province Pres idents. This took a lo t of time at h ome, s in ce it was important that the items be as up-t o·date as possible.

Wh e n applications for report er jobs began to come in a few weeks prior to convention, I immediat e ly wrote each girl, as kin.'!: her preference in coverage and solici ting material about her college activities. Th ese persona l bits I turned over t o o ne o f the reporters after I reached convention and she embodied them in a n articl e on the staff. I had found from experi· ence that it is almost imposs ible to " run dow n " such material after we are in th e actual process of editing I a l so kept an a ss ignment book and when a reporter came in the first t im e J gave her an assi.gnment with the day an d hour it s hould be in. Not a s ingle girl failed t o complete her assignment on time Several girls a s ked for mare than one assig nment. but with se ve nteen sta ff membe rs on ly a few had more th a n two articles to write. I tried to kee p active delegates from w o rkin g on the paper since J knew fr om pas t experience that they would be tremendously busy with their offic ial duti es. However Jan Jeans and Jeanne Hall , fr om Mi ssou ri A and New Mexico A, respective ly, begged t o be allowed to covrr the active sessio ns and although they were often worn t o a frazzle, they came through on tim e. My o nly staff disappointment was an alumna who had written in ahead of time asking if she could help, and had seem ed delighted when I asked her t o cover the a lumnre sessions. She appeared as we were puttin.Jl: the las t issue to bed. If th e a lumnr sessions did n ot receive adequate coverage, please lay th e b l ame o n the reporter who wasn't dependable.

The rest of the staff was simply marvelous _ Three o f them rendered special help: Virginia Sherman, New York A, who n o t o nly wrote covered the Settlement Schoo l notes for W arp and Woof, but

re l ieved me of a lot of office and leg work; Marilyn Campen, Mi ssou ri B, and Mari Brink, ou r efficient and tal ented busin ess man age r. It wa s a joy to work with them!

My greatest disappointment was that we could n o t have live art. We w e re told ahead of time that n o cuts could be made at Fren ch Lick. This meant we'd have to hav e o ur cu ts mad e in advance in Louisville. I wrote to Banta f o r cuts of Grand Council but th ey did n ot s how up, altho I did receive and use cuts of Dr Smith , and the Convention Committee Throu gh th e courtesy of the Louisvi ll e Courier· J our nal wh e re my hu sband is the A ss i st a nt Managing Editor, we had made free o f charge three new cuts a nd were given one la rg e one which had been used on th eir society page. The were of Mrs. Enteman, Mi ss Guthrie, a nd Mr s. Ives. The donated cu t was of five Kentu cky .A girls and since it had action in it I felt it re pr esented the wh o le sp irit of the active delegates.

Fi ve iss ues were published beginning with one on M onday and ending with the one o n Friday noon. This meant that nothing that happened after TIlUCSday at :5 P.M. w as cove red in the l ast iss u e. It meant we had to "fake" the initiation ceremony coverage , somet hing which I f ee l is dangerous inasm uch as some thing might not come o ff as scheduled and we might have to waste a lot of papers. We were lucky; everyt hing went off as planned. It meant too that the list o f officers and the main awards had to be pri n ted on a sort of handbill which was distributed at breakfast the last morning o f co nve nti on. of course I realize why this was necessa ry. It was felt that many of the delegates would not be around t o pick up their last copy of the paper if it came ' out Saturday noo n However fr om th e requ ests I have received since" I .Jl:o t home for copies of the handbill and the last issu e, I feel they wou ld have welcomed an i ss ue on Saturday m o rning . Of course I had more free time to e nj oy myse lf but after all I was there to give the co n vention a good paper, n ot to have fun. I feel that in some ways this D (li/y was better than the preceding on es. Certainly it was th e easiest I have ever edited. It could have been the most p l easa nt had o ur hous in.g problems not loomed large and annoying. With the effic ient st a ff at my command. with th e happy enco uragem ent and the smiles of Gra nd Council who n eve r failed in passi n .Jl: to say a word of praise, a nd with th e bac kin g o f o ur beloved " boss," Ad e le Alfo rd , I can truthfully say T enjoyed my work in spite of the handiC2p o f office space. I deep ly appreciate being housed with th e Co nventio n Committee a nd particularl y roomi ng with Mrs. Green , the Convention Gui de. The assoc i a tion with the thr ee charming wome n is some thing I sha ll always cherish. If I h ave o;eemed t o grumble it is because I had hoped to ed it th e perfect pape r and so justify the fai th Grand Council has pl aced in me a nd to leave a reco rd from whi ch futur e ed it o rs may pro fit

If I h a ve cont rib uted anything to the success of th e Thirt y·sixth Biennial Convention of Pi Beta Phi , I am happy It is truly a joy to do an ything for the fraternity that has g iven so many sh ining hours o f happiness.

HOLT HOUSE COMMITTEE

SER\'1NG

on the Holt HouJe Committee the past two JUn has been a most enjoyable expe:rience. The increasing interest of Pi Phi s everywhere towards this memorial to our founding, has given great en· coun.gement and inspintion to the members of the in their work. Pi Phis have fully shown tMir pride, and unswerving loyalty to Holt House, by their desire to have it a finished project They learned by reading the History of Pi Ikta Phi, and listening to talks on Founders' Day, that the r001S of our great fn.teroity are embedded in this beautiful memorial.

This committee hu furnished the ,li;uest lo unge, and the historical room Two handmade rugs , a walnut chair, and two pictures were added to the Founde rs' Room, the chair and the walnut frames for the pic· tures, were gifts from the Tacoma , Washington, Alumnr Club in honor of a former member of their club, Ine-z Smith Soule, one of our fo unders In the parlor , brass ball andirons were pb.ced in the fire· place, and onr the lovely Victorian sofa opposite, have been hung four prints depicting the year of 1867. A blue bowl lamp was purchased for the pine room. The color of the lamp corresponds with the blue dress worn by Fannie Thompson in the Alice Hyd e painting of her, which hangs on the west wall. In the powder room a new skirt adorns the dressing table, and the two benches have been recovered which are in front of the table These new furnishings have made possible by the splendid support from ac· tive chapters and clubs The committee feels confident that members of the fraternity will always respond enthusiastically to sustain this which they have helped to r ebui ld

To Mrs . Carey, who has so graciously presided as I('(eptionist for eight years, a great deal of credit must be givtn for her fine management, and for the growing inttrest and popularity of the House in the community, and elsewhere.

The chairman is most ,li;rateful to Mrs. Philip P.

Mere words fail to express to Miss Onken, how grateful the chairman is, for her advice, patience, and constant willingness to help in all matters per· taining to Holt H ouse. To the members of Grand Council, whose assistance has been invaluable ; and to Gladys Ha yes Sciva lly , D irector of Central Office, for many fav ors, the chairman expresses her since r e ap· preciation. The assistance and cooperation of the province officers has aided the committee In making this year a successfu l one for Holt Hou se.

Tuitions Incr e ase

College and univers ity tuition and fees are now at th e hi g hest point in history and will incre ase mOre by the fall term of 1948, according to information gathered from 120 leading edu ca tional in stitutions regardin g their current tuition , their pre-wac rates, and their contemplated changes .

The averag e tuition of all th e institutions this year approximates $550 The fees of th e women's colleges are highest. those of the privately·endowed in stitutions are medium and th e state institutions are lowest.

Their average tuitions were $132 in 1907, $163 in 1917, $329 in 1936, and $410 in 19 4 1.

In regard to further increases (for the average in s titution they were 5 3 per cent last year alone) there were evidences of leveling off It is indi cated that additional revenue necessary for balanced budgets will be sought from other sources than student fees : (1) increased governmental or state aid , and (2 ) in cr eased private and found ation giving.

A tabulation of the information secured from 54 privately-endowed institutions shows that their average rate of tuition has increased from $366 .4 ) in 1941 to $4H.08, an over·all gain of 23.6 per cent sin ce pre-war

In 33 state.supported in stitutions, a very marked difference is noted between the resident and non-resident tuition increases In thi s group , six universities made no change in the rates charged residents and compensated for stand ing-pat by average increases of 43.2 per cent in the tuition for out·of·state students. Average figure s for the whole group of public.supported institution s show, however, that the state resident tuition s have rai sed 8.2 per cent and non-resident tuition by 26.5 per cent.

Women's coHeges have increased their tuitions by an average of 23,4 per cent, from about $514 to $635.

Some institutions may be attempting to cushion the effect of their higher rates by making an increasing number of scholarships available. However, since the excess demand for admission to the institutions has not apparently been arrested by the increased fecs, and studies indicate there will be greatly expanded college enrollments for some years to come, it may be that th e current high tuitions wlll have no serious effect on the level of college enrollments for som e years. College administrators who seek to accommodate deservin,g students and who at the sam e time must have more funds to operate due to large enroHments have a few problems these d ays. More and more the colleg e presi dent mu st be persuas ive with hi s legi slatur e or an expert in fund r a ising
