Fro m C o llege Frate rnity Editors' N ews Rel ease

SOME OF THE BEST CONSTRUCTIVE PUBLICI TY FOR FRATERN ITIES appeared in t he Indianapolis Slar in March , with the above editorial title . I t read: Th e Indi ana University ch apter of Alpha Tau Om ega soc ial fraterni ty h as provided further ev ide n ce t hat a mature sense of responsi bility di s tingu ish es tod ay' s co ll ege generat io n from some of its predecesso rs. The ATO chapter utilized its recent pre-i n itiation " H ell W eek" to perform good deeds for th e comm unity . In stead of " ass uming th e angle" before paddle-wielding upperclassmen and submitt in g to other childi sh tortures, t h e frat ernity pledges were put to work for the M onroe County W e lfa re Department. D uring th e week th ey pa in ted a nursery schoo l, chopped wood, repai red roofs , sh oveled s now and did other useful welfare work Th ere may be a few unrecon st ructed rebe ls of the John Held , Jr., era who wi ll say this is a sign today's co ll egians are go in g soft. We say it's a sign they're tougher than ever and h ave a better understanding t h at they are preparing themselves for an adult world which increasing ly separates the men from the boys. And after all, the pue ri le mumbojumbo of the old-fashioned H ell W eek must seem pretty silly to co llege freshmen whose o lder brothers took the worst H itler and Tojo h ad to offe r ATO h as set an example for other fraternity chapters to follow.

Let's Give More for Scholarships

Editorial by R UTH WILSON COGSHALL IN M oun tain

ee r

If the chapters had contributed even a few more dollars to the Harri e t R uthe rford John stone Scholarship Fund, perhaps some of the 10 girls whose app li cations had to be refused might have been able to remain in college.

The number of these scholarships which Grand Council is able to approve each year, depends upon the amount of money which the chapt ers give. In addition there is the sum of $900 already set aside from the money formerly used for the scho larship rings.

This year there were 16 girls to apply; sixteen gi rl s whose reco rd s we re unusually fine. But only six of these could be granted the money necessary to keep them in co llege . Letters from their professors, their deans of women, the alumnre who know them intimately stressed their irreproac hable conduct, their stable character, their dependability, their valuable co ntribution to chapter functioning. and th eir scholastic record. The six cho se n will go on to greater accomplishments. But what of the ten whose applications had to be turn ed down' Some of them may find outside employment. Some of them undoubtedly will remain in coIlege because the added in come from part-time work will help defray the essential college expenses But what about their scholasti c records? And what about their contribution to college and frat ernity life? Are they to be forced to be content with average accompJishments, sacrificing their brilliant records, their chance for g rowth through fraternity and organization servi ce simply because they will have insuffi cient time to devote to their studies and their campus life?

We have only to g lan ce through a sample of the letters submitted with the applications to realize that here is a superior class of gi rl s. Th ere is the one about whom the dean of women wrote she had the greatest influen ce in the developm ent of successful programs of any student I have known. There is the girl about whom her chapter says we have been abl e to co unt on her doing whatever is expected in a cheerful and unassuming way, outsta nding in looks and manners, with conduct irreproachab le. There is the one who has the wise grasp of college life, a persistence to finish school, a stable person.

The Fraternity needs these girls, and the Fraternity can keep them if the Scholarship Fund is increased by your contribution.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

SEPTEMBER,

Re"i"",

Convention is over-aU its thrills are in the past, and we can sit down to a cool evaluation of its events and its results.

Delightful in setting. outstanding in personnel, it proved to be a most inspiring meeting. True, there were difficulties, such as late trains (the Editor and the Grand Treasurer were 14 hours late!), delays due to washouts, slides, and finally the railroad strike in the states, all beyond the power of the Guide to prevent; and everyone was late for everything, beginning from the time the Special from Chicago forced the cancellation of the whole first session, and the delaying of the Model Initiation, and continuing because of the magnificent distances between the Lodge and the cabins. Yet we discussed issues with a fine tolerance of one another's views, and with keenly intelligent thinking. Perhaps the fact that the attack on South Korea came the very day that Con· vention opened made us a little more cautious in our judgments-whatever the cause, there was evident a serious tendency in discussion, a straight facing of problems that made for wise decisions. If all-out war is to follow the Ko rean outbreak, then Pi Beta P hi will be in a good pos ition to face whatever another su ch war may do to our colleges and to our chapters, without new projects which might bring cripp ling responsibi lities. We came away with a renewed interest and enthusiasm for our great Settlement School, and with increased desire to take care of such of our older people as may be in need of direct aid. The way to do that is already in Our hands, as we know from Mrs. Copp's report in this issue-but that way needs additional funds and shou ld get them, now that the Emma Harper Turner Memorial Fund is one of the three 100% funds for contributions. With the progress of time the work of this committee will be constantly expanding. The small addition to our alumnz dues voted in Convention will put us ' in a position of financia l safety n ationall y, better able to face constantl)' rising costs of operation of th e great business that a great f r aternity has become.

+ + +

Agai n , Ec o nom y !

For the coming year still more strict economy must be the policy of the ARRow. How it does cramp our style! If fine material sent to ou r office is neve r pub lished, if fewer pictures are used, look On us with a tolerant eye, and kn ow that whenever conditions change for the better, we'd like a much large r issue, perhaps even a bi-mo nthl y or a monthl y magazine, wit h co lor pictures! Well, we can dream anyway, especia ll y in an issue l ike this o ne, made up of reports , whic h may appear to need a little but whic h make fascinating reading. Pi Beta Phi is still the only fraternity to offe r to its members a chance to read every word of the reports of its officers-what an opportunity it offers to know your Fraternity!

+ + +

01 Alumna!

Convention always makes dear the st r ength of ou r organization, when we see the group of alumna: delegates-I l 7 this time, not as many as might have come, out of our present strength of 241 al umrue clubs-but such fi ne wome n they were, f rom the four corne rs of the continentand one from H awaii.

Membership in our al umnre department is one of the r ights given us by membership in Pi Seta Phi, a right that we should use to the utmost. Sud> membership doe, not mean simp ly paying dues to the national organization and to a local club-it means a real dedication of oneself to the work of the organization, rea l work for its advancement, whether it be through a near-by active chapter, or through the many money-raising activities of a dub which provide funds for its gifts to our national projects. Elsewhere in this issue we print a blank for use of isolated alumnz in joining the national organization-and through its use perhaps some members may find that they are within reach of some one of the regional clubs.

Two points will be considered by the Grand Counci l in awarding the fellowship: scholasti c sta nding and all-around development of character with its resultant abi li ty worthily to represen t the Fr ate rnity. Each applicant must state definitely the university she wishes to enter, the courses whi ch she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of h er graduate study.

Applicat io ns accompanied by photographs of applicants, transcripts of college grades, credentials from co ll ege professors, and other recommendation s, must be in the hand s of the Grand President not later than January 1, 1951.

All material must be co ll ected by the applicant and su bmi tted as a whole. Blank forms for app li cat ion for the fellow ship may be obtained from t he Grand Pres id ent at any time. If she so desires , any applicant of forme r years who h as not received the fellowship may make a new app li cation .

West Virginia Beta- To-Be

Convention added a chapter to our roll, compensating numerically and in small part indeed for the loss of Maryland Alpha through college regulation . Phi Chi, local geoup at D avis and Ellcin s College, at Elkins, West Virgina, will be installed September 21. The ARROW extends a warm welcome to our new members.

So begins the eighty-fourth year of Pi Beta Phi, again with war and all its troub les facing us,,,,",,',, '0.. 0, .,., - "-

DEAR MRS. ALFORD:

M ay I exp ress through THE ARROW my deep appreciation to Pi Beta Phi fo r the most wonderf ul opportunity of being the Honor Guest of the recent Convention. Althoug h many fine things have come to me from the Fraternity, through the years, none have been more inspiring than to be the guest of such a thrilling gathering.

My thanks to you all.

D elegates fr om the following clubs were appointed as tellers in the e lectio n : New Haven, Cin cinnati , North Shore, Des Moines. and Dall as.

The report of the Committee to Nominate Members for H olt H ouse Committee reported that the North Shore and Detroit Alumna! Clubs had been selected as the clubs from which new members of the H olt House are to he selected. Acting Eta Province Vi ce·Presiden t moved that th ese clubs be accepted as the o nes fr om whi ch the members are to be selected, which was seconded and passed. Report of the Special Committee for th e All ocation of Convention Fund s was made by its Chairman, the Grand Treasurer, and the following was moved, seconded and passed :

That Statutes , Part III , Article III , S«tion 2, b, 2, be amended by adding: "Exception shall be made for the state, territory, or Canadian Province in which the convention is to be held, wherein the transportation of ea ch alumna! club shall be computed separately ."

Beta Pro'fince ViceJPresident asked for information

on salaries received by Pi Phi Officers. The Grand Trttsurer replied with a de6nite statement.

Glendale moved: 1bat the Allows between now and the 19'2 convention include an appeal to all Pi Beta Phi Alumnr to pay their national dues, either through thOr loal club or to a person so designated to handle said dues. It is also recommended that this carry interpretation regarding the need for such additional funds and the obligation of every Pi Beta Phi to shoulder her part of this expense s.coocl«l and pass«!.

Glendale moved: That reports o f National Officers and Committee Chairmen usually given in alumnz session be and have a dellnite time l imit , n ot to exceed the time of a morning and afternoon 5tssion. in order to leave plcoty of time [or new business . This was s«onded. and the Springfield delegate moved that it be by inserting the word s " fo r workshops and" before "new busine ss." Seconded and passed.

The Washingto n, D .C. , delegate moved that th e Constitution, Article VI, Sectio n 1 (a) amended by striking out "a nd" bdore "a Convl!ntion Guide " a nd inserting at the end "and two Activl! Convention Directo rs." Add a new S«tion (f) to r ead: "The Active Convention Directors shall be the active chapter delegates to Convention fro m the chapters which hold the Balfour Cup and Stoolman Vase."

An d that the Constitution, Article VI , Section 2 be amended by adding: " Two Activl! Convention Directo rs sha ll be temporary members of Grand Coun cil to sit with it and vote at ,II its meetings during the pre-convention, convention, and post-convention periods."

And the Statutes, Part I, Article IV amended by inserting a new Section I) to read as follows :

"DuJieJ 0/ Jhe Active Convention Direct orJ : The duties of the Active Convention Directors shall be, (a) to attend all meetings of Grand Counci l dur o ing the pre-convention, convention, and post-conven tion periods, and to participate in the deliberations and to vote o n all questions; (b) each to over at l east o n e active session of Conven · ti on."

Thi s was seconded, and afte r discussion, was Jost. A recomme ndation was read by the Pasadena dele· gate that:

"W H EREAS, It is desirable to secure fo r the frn· !'ernity in th e future, the same strong l eadership which has contributed SO much to Our growth in the past, and,

"WHI!REAS, Such development is best assured by the existence of a brge number of experienced officers;

"Therefore, That a l imited tenure of ( 3 ) two (2) year terms in anyone office for all members of Grand Council, be established; such tenure to take effect two years after establishment with the terms of officers staggered so that a ll officers are not rep laced at one time."

Since this r ecommendation involved necessary changes to the Constitution and Statutes and had n ot been submitted to all national officers, chapters, and alumna: clubs at least 60 days prior to the meeting at which they were to be voted upon, as provided in the Constitution, it was rul ed out o f order by the Chair Los Angeles moved that this recommendation be considered by the AlumnI! Session This was seconded and lost.

The Washington, O .c., delegate moved that it be recommended to active sess ion that Statutes, Part I, Article IV, Section 11 (a), be amended by striking out

the presmt Section II (a); whi ch provides for a n ominati ng committee to be appointed b:r the President, and inserting a new section to rea : "A Committee to nominate fraternity offi ce rs at the ensuing convention shall consist of a Province President , the active chapter delegate from the chapter which holds the A B. Onken award, the active chapter delegate from the chapter which holds the Philadelphia Vase, one member of Grand Council to be elected at the interi m summer meeting of Grand Council, and a Province Vice President. The Province Presidents will serve on this committee in rotation alphabetically according to provi nces; the Province Vice Presid ents will se rv e o n this committee in reve rse rotatio n alphabetica lly according to Provin ces . The personnel of this committee sha ll be determined imm edia tely followi ng the summer i n terim meeting of Grand Counci l and shall be announ ced in the ARR OW for September of the same year. The Nom inating Committee sha ll present tw o cand idates fo r each n at io n a l office to convention at its last meeting :'

This wa s seconded and lost by a vote :59 for and 74 against. The delegate from the Baltimo re Alumnz Club read the following resolution: "The Baltimore Alumnr Club wishes to tell thi s convention of th e great joy it ha s found in working with M aryla nd Alpha du ring the many years of the two g roups' existence. Grant ed, there have been rough spots; but, particularly during the past year, this delegate has felt among the girls a spirit of unity and a sincere desire to be the best Pi Phis possible. Our combined Founders' Day banquet, April 2:5, 1950 , was a memorable occasion. Mi ss Onken, Mrs. Wild, Mrs Lingo and many Maryland Alphas from a ll over th e country were ou r h o no red guests. As the final ce lebration of M aryland Alpha, i t was a sad time, but fo r the Balti more Alumnr Club, receiving over 50 new members, it was a great inspirati o n. We salute M ary l and Al pha and look forward to working wi th these girls and he lping them to find their p laces as loyal Pi Beta Phi alumnt.

Pasadena moved: That Statut es, Part r, Article IV be amended by addin,lt a new "17" to r ead: The r equired majority on any qu es tion shall be figured o n th e numbe r of votes actua ll y cast and n ot o n the total voting personnel o f the Alumnr Sessions of Convention.

This was secon ded and in the discussion that foll owed th e Chair was asked what was meant by "Convention." The Parliamentarian was asked for her inte rpretati o n and ruled that "Convention" would include all persons whose expenses were paid by the frat ernity After discussion this motion was los t.

An I!xp lanation of the vote required o n motions wa s given by the Parliamentarian.

A report of the te ll ers appointed to co unt the vote brought in and the slate nominated was declared e lected

MESSAGE OF GRAND PR ESID ENT

To Pi Bela Phi:

PERHAPS the most important reason (oc a con\'enlion is that it may deepen loyalty. As this Conventi on g i ves incr eased understanding of the basic purposes of the fraternity, there can come on ly a g reater pride in the achievements and prestige of Pi Beta Phi and a resu lting deepe r love for it and it is upon pride and love that true l oyalty depe n ds. T his, thc Thirty-seventh Convention of Pi Beta Phi, might well set as its special goal a clarificat ion of what tru e loyalty mea ns and what it demands in conviction, attitude, actio n , and service!

D ean J oseph A Park, Edu cational A dviser at Ohio Stat e University, in answering Mr . K enneth Brown, who had said t hat fr aternity members pla ce loya lty t o the fr aternity above that to th e in stitution, reach for pres tige, and are ind ifferent to cultural interests, sa id that since th ese a re very human fault s, they probably could be ass igned with equa l fairness to faculties a nd added: " I like Dr Brown 's phrase, 'They will be ju dged, as they deserve to be judged, by th e ca libre of the men and women whom they aid in trai nin g : W hen th e College Alumni Secretary or Fin ance Directo r se ts out to en li st alumni s up port of some w orth-whil e endeavors, to whom does he turn? Is it merely because such people ar e extroverts and enjoy enlisting the aid o f their fellows o r is it possible that trai ning i n a l esser loyalty has deve loped a greater?"

Pi Beta Phi has l o ng C/xog nized i ts responsibility to "that greater hum an fraternity t o whi ch we all be· lo ng " and it believes with deep convi ct ion that as it deepens l oya l ty to the things of Pi Beta Phi it automati ca lly deepens it to th e things of good citizenship on co ll ege cam puses and off of th em as these are demonstra ted in a sincere interest in an effort to further the bes t in education, gov ernment, culture, a n d r ight li vi ng. Th e Int erfr ate rn ity D eca logue of Fraternity P o l icy gives as the chief purpose of a f raternity "to provide training and disc i pline of the individual who, in see king an ed ucation , desires to make him se lf a u sefu l member of society, possessing knowledge, tra ined s k ill , and capacity for accomplishment." The effects of s uch traini ng an d dis ci p lin e could n ot poss ibly be k ept within the li mits o f one's fraternity! Af te r the First World War, H G Wells said that civilization wa s in a ra ce between educatio n and ca tastrop he ; Dr J , Walter Mal one, president of Millikin University, n ow says that " afte r World War II , it was no longe r a race. Ed uca tio n went over t o cata stroph e" and became " too much education f o r profit and n ot for person a lity, too mu ch education fo r prestige and n o t fo r character" and that "one of today 's greatest n eeds i s an educatio n which will place e mphasi s on spi r itua l things, persona l r espons ibility, h onesty, and cha racte r: ' H ow comp l ete ly th is ideal ti es in with th ose of Pi Beta Phi ! And how it emphasizes the importance o f a definite stand by Pi Beta Phi s, active and a l umnr, f or this, the onll kind of an education which will insure the Cuture a (a ll eges by attra cting boys and g irls who want for them se lv es the things of bea ut if ul l iving fo r which fr aternities stand and so will insure the fu ture of frat e rn ities, too. Let Pi Beta Phis be leaders in swinging educatio n back from ca tastrophe ! U nderg raduates ca n do their part by choos in g cou rses and professors whic h build right thinking and ri ght att it udes, and a lu mnz can do the ir s

by insi sti ng that their colleges and universities provide such courses and such teache rs.

Pi Beta Phi 's responsibility for good citizensh ip cannot end on co ll ege campuses, highlighted though it is there by the fact t hat there Pi Phis live together as froups and are judged as su ch for thei r qualit ies a citizenship. It shou ld not soun d like "the same o ld story" when one spea ks o f the desperate n eed fo r citizen s who are intelligent about the forces which gravely threaten the Ameri ca n way of l ife, who will look beneath the su rface in order that they may know motives as well as appearan ces and prote stations, and who will stand fast against the most insidious and dest r uctive p ro paganda campaign whi ch ou r country has ever known, Mr . ]. Edgar H oover, this mont h of Jun e, 19 50, ha s dec lared that the forces of Communism i n the Un ited States present a te rr ifying da n ge r -a danger most terrifying because so many of those who are supporting the cause of Communism do not wear its co lo rs openly a nd so are able t o wor k even more eff ective ly than if th e ir a ll eg iance we r e known. Wh en o ne has been given bo th a co llege training and the privilege of being a Pi Beta Phi, she has a r espo nsibility wh ich she can n o t evade f or taking a fi rm and active s tand aga in st ideologi es which are d iametri ca ll y opposed to what ge n eratio n s of right thinking Am eri ca n s ha ve proved a re th e thin gs which make for the best way of life which the world has ever known

Pi Beta Phi da r e n ot shu t its eyes to t he fact th at Communism has dec lared its intention of ta kin g over Ameri ca by way of the co ll ege campuses o n whi ch it is playing upon th e idea li sm a nd the in experi en ce of co ll ege s tud ents. Th e I RAC Bullelin o f l ast September sa i d: "The Nationa l Council for Ameri ca n Edu ca tion does not see Communism on the va r ious cam pu ses as a bogeyman , It sees thirt y-s ix Y ale faculty m em bers with o n e hundred and fi ft y-seven affiliat i on s in e ig ht ytwo Communist f ronts. It sees sevent y-five H arva rd faculty membe rs wit h three hundred and thirty- six affiliatio n s in one hundre d and twenty-four Comm uni s t front s, an d i t sees Communists on many of th e co ll ege fa culties, many o f whom have been active in th e a n ti-f rate rnit y campaign ," Mr Jerome Ko ehler, Supr eme President of Pi Kappa, in a wo nde rfull y fine article, " Wh at Price Di scriminatio n," said: "Communi s ts have been r ecent ly openl y bl asti ng Americans f o r not building an 'economic democ ra cy; for not accep ting a ' soc i al democ ra cy' and for ou r r e fu sa l t o 'imp lement r acia l brotherhood: Th ese allusions by th e antidisc rim in ationis t supporters s hould be critically examined. We kn ow that 'po liti ca l democracy ' means poli tica l equality-on e man, o n e vote; we ima g in e that th ei r meani ng of 'eco n omic democracy' would be economic equality-o n e man , o ne unit o f property. We assume that the meaning o f 'soc ial democracy' wou ld be socia l cqua l ity-one man , one body of men of co mm o n equality The atta in me nt of these ideals would be con formity wi thout choice, unity without diversity; and it would be Communism and n o t Ameri canism Their pious chant of blending a ll ou r peop l e i n to a s trong unit ed democ racy has every evidence of being a sham and a do u b l e-c ross. Thei r true intent appears to be to divide and separ ate; to array class against class, ra ce against ra ce, and cr eed against creed Mu ch bitt er oppos iti on

has been expressed of late against fraternities. While mos t of thi s critici sm is because of membership di scrimination, the entire gauntl et of incriminations has been used against them. But despite all of these false accusations, most co llege st udents would still like t? join! Fraterniti es have been a wholesome contrIbution to th e Ameri ca n con cept of educat ion. in that they have given primacy to t he development of th e individual fo r his future place in society Although much has yrt to be done in co rre cting cert ai n of thei r known weaknesses, co ll ege fraternities have proved to be the best demonstration of democracy jn action o n any campus." D ean Pa rk says: "The two features of co ll ege life in which there seems to be the greatest public interest are Athl etics and Frat erniti es. Unfortunately, the cu rri culum seems to be of inter es t to academicians only . One might argue that the public has a vested int erest in athletics because it is the public's money that keeps them going Thi s is definit el y not tru e with frat ernities, which pay their own way and hav e no support from anyone except their ow n me mbers , That's unusual in these days, isn't it?"

Perhaps it is permissible to r epeat that "fraternities as su ch are, of course, not the major target of Communism ; they are a practice targ et. important in themse lves but most im portan t becau se jf they, as one democratic institution, ca n be destroyed th e entire str ucture of Am eri ca will be irreparably weakened." Me. Koehler says of discrimination: '"Discrimination without unju st distin cti o n is good taste. If co llege fraternitie s were not discriminatory in selecting their members there would be very little need for th ei r existence. To use discrimination in se lecting co mpanions has always been smart. Thi s is freedom an d freedom of choice is an accepted principle of democracy." It seems rather s trange, does it not, that nothing is said by the enemies of fr a te rnities, about the fact th a t fra ternity membership is contingent upon se lectio n not only by the chap le r' but also by the ru shee ? Accepta nce of an invitation to membership is surely as much a matter of di scrimination as is th e giving of a bid and both are the exercises of true democracy. Pi Beta Phi s should sta nd as a solid unit for the basic r ig ht of a frat ern ity, or of any other organization whose purposes and achievements are good, to select as its members those who will promote its unity , congenia li ty, and success.

The firm stand which National Panhellenic Co nfe rence frat ernities have tak en against attempts to for ce them to all o w their membership qualifi cations to be determined from th e outside ca ll s for th e staunch support of all Pi Beta Phis. This stand has been sneered at by a few unde rgraduate journalists as an indication that fraternities "are sca red to death about their own future" and are making mo untains out of th e molehills of these coercive demands by some student bodies and by the National Student Association that no fraternity set up a ny membership requirements which seem to these groups "discriminatory." Fraterniti es are in terested in self-preservat ion, ye s; because they believe in the infinite value of what they give to their own members and through them to the college campuses and the civic co mmunities in whi ch they live. But their firm stand for the ri ght of freedom of assembly has ba ck of it a r ea lization that infinitely mu ch more than the survival of frat ernities is invo lved: the future of Am ericanism is at stak e.

On some campuses, newspaper propaganda aimed at a cti ve chapter members has urged them to ignore their nati o nal officers, frat ernity r egulations, and Nati o nal Panhellenic Conference rulings, saying that they should make ckcisions on the basis of local opin-

ions and preferences o nly. Loyalty to o nese lf as well as to one's fra te rnit y demand s that undergraduate fraternity members ma ke it very clear t hat they reali ze that with their privilege of nati o nal affiliation came nalional o bligati o ns which they assumed voluntarily and both wish and expect to honor. A campus on which all d ec is ions are made so le ly upon the basi s o f local sen timent shou ld offer loca l affiliation s only since its no t yet rea dy for broad r espo nsibiliti es and pflvdeges such as th ose of nati ona l fr ate rnity membership.

While th ere has been some undesirable fraternity publicity in low g rade fiction and in Life, attacks upon frat erniti es have. according to Mr . L. G. Balfou r, Chairman of I.R.A .C., been fewer than in recent years. May the Grand President rem ind all Pi Beta Phis that the policy of the frat ernity and th at of all NPC fraternities i s against any publicity whatever in Li fe and the other magazines of its type? Life, for example, has never yet given wh o lly desirable publicity to any college o r to any fraternity The chance that it will change its ways is too slight to mak e it acceptable for any Pi Beta Phi to be included in its campus presentations

The Grand Presi de nt's annual message might be ca lled h er "Report o n the State of the Nation," and she has very great pride in what she can say if continued strength shown in unexce lled camp us represen tation by active cha pters, recog ni zed leadership in the fr ate rnity field, and prestige whi ch is the r esu lt of more than e ighty -three years of estab li s hed high goals and exceptional achievement s. Sin ce Pi Beta Phi publishes in its annual Info rm atio n Number of the ARROW the detailed reports of all officers and standing committees, it should not be seriou s ly handi· capped by the fact that only a very fe w r eports are read at co nventions. No summaries by the Grand Vice.'President and the Grand Pres ident, however, can possib l y give an at all inclusive understanding of the organization, aims, and accomplishments of the alumnor clubs and the active chapters of the fraternity or of what these mean to the fraternity as such. No member of the fraternity should be willing not to read carefully the reports of all officers and the minutes of Grand Council meetings and convention Few fraterniti es make it so easy for their members to be intelligent about thetnsel ves.

The delegates ' reports speak for th emse lv es of the effecti ve work of chapters and of r ecognition s whi ch have come to them. It seems to the Grand President that, exceedingly gratifying though the annual confidential reports fr om Deans of Women consistent ly are, those reports, thi s year, indicate the highest degree of effective meeting of responsibility which chapters as a whole have ever attained. The appreciation for the national fraternity, its methods. and it s high standards whi ch is so evident in the Deans' comments is another cause for extreme gratitude and pride. Not all chapters measu re up to the frakrnity's scho lasti c ideal fo r them-which is that eac h girl's grades shaH represent her bes t scholas ti c ability :lOd shall prove that she is ass uming her personal responsibility as a student-b ut there is r eason for mu ch pride in the record of eighteen fir st places on th e comparative li sts of fraternities for the full college year of 1948-49, the lat est for which statistics are available, a gain of five fir st places over the immediately preceding year. The nati onal goal-every Pi Beta Phi chapter in the thud of its comparative list- is one whi ch is possible of achievement and the only OM, rea lly, which is worthy of the frater· nity. Each delegate sho uld go home determined that

chapter will not accept from its merrtMcs scholarship which gives it a less worthy place on iu campus and in the f12tnnity. contacts bftween active chapters and province and national afficm have (or the most part been and The interim mffiing of Grand Coun<il members and province officers and the province confttenCe5 of Provin ce Presidents and chapter presidents and pledge supervisors have resulted in in techniques, the setting of constantly higher goals. and I understanding of fratemiry policies. This Coovention must con sider, however, tM question of continuing these interim confe-cences in the light of the great expmse whi ch they involve. The Grand President of anothe r strong fraternity recently wrote, "Like all fraternities, we are having endowment troubles, " due to the fa ct that even though endowmalu have been built up faster than finan cial uperts expected, the interest does not ca rry the greatly increased running expenses of the fraternity. No other wo.mn·s fraternity, apparently, has the background of endowment funds which Pi Beta Phi has. When lheR endowments were established, th e stable value of the do llar, available interest rales, and relatively l ow cost of operation made it seem that they could insure the fact that Pi Scta Phi could indefinitely continue to function successfully without adding to its extremely low natio nal fi nancial requirem ents from active chapters. It was thought that the annua l, automatic growth of the Contingent Fund Endowment, for examp le, would adequately tak e care of the increaS«l annual cost due to the growth of the fraternity. The devaluation (of the do ll a r to the poi nt where it r epresents approximately half of its once stab le value of one hundred cents and the resulting inevitable increases in all costs mean that each year the Contingent Fund is using up more and more of the surplus accumulated during past years and that the Convention Fund can no longer be expected to take care of conventions and biennial Chapte r Presidents· conferences. Convention registration fees, even at this year's figure, are exceedi ngly low for NPC fraternities, one of whi ch last year had a registration fee of forty dollars and scverill of which , this year, have of from fifteen to twenty dollars. When Grand Council's recommendation for a pledge fee is presented to Convention for its action, morc detailed explanations will be given. The recommendation is made with relu ctance but with a realization that unless some new source of income is established, it will be increa si ngly difficult fo r Pi Beta Phi to co ntinue to make its work of internal superv isi o n and help as effective as it now is and aJ it should he. Active chapter delegates shouJd weigh the effects of the presidents' conferences in greater efficiency and finer fraternity spirit in their respective chapters agains t the problems which a national pledge f ee would entail for them. For many years, Pi Beta. Phi has been the only NPC fraternity without annual active dues and with a total payment by actives which is below the amount collecttd by o ther nationals for their combined initiation fees, other required payments, and annua l dues. Apparently even Pi Beta Phi canno t meet greatly increased operationa l costs without increase in active member payments , and a national pledge fee seems preferable to an increase in the initiati on fee

Pi Beta Phi's Settlmlent Schoo l, its memorial to its Founders and their gift to the fraternity, continues to deserve the place which it holds in the hearts of Pi Beta Phis It is still a living memorial -one not static in its service but expanding and changing that service to meet changing and opportunities. Even with

the in cuased State aid which Tennessee now gives its schools, it would be impossible for Sevier County to maintain an acc r edited school system at Gatlinburg were it not for Pi Beta Phi ' s assuming full responsibility for the departments of music, art, physical education, wood work, and health. The relations between the community and the Settlement School are increasingly a cause for grati6cation, as the commu nity becomes more articulate about its appr«iation. The won· derfully effective and wise Settlemen t Schoo l Committee, working under the chairmanship of Ruth Barrett Smith and the treasurership of Olivia Smith M oore, has given the Fraternity unexcelled representation in all matters relating to the Settlement School. The Fraternity , this year, l ost from the committee Ilt the conclusion of five years o f outstanding ser vice, Eugenia Brooks Smith, whose successor is Nellis H emp le Gibson of the Baltimo re Alumnz Club. The fraternity can feel a very special pride in the summer workshop for handcrafters which is the result of cooperation between the University of Tennessee an d the Settlement School and which is meaning a continent-wide constructive service to the caU$/! of hand crafts and an equally wide-spread recognition for Pi Beta Phi as a leader in that field.

Holt H ouse, the significant memo rial to the founding of Pi Beta Phi, continues to delight all those, Pi Phis and non -Pi Phis, who are privileged to enjoy its warm and gracious hospitality , This expression of sentiment has nothing of sentimentality associated with it. It is a beautiful and worthy r eminder of th e days when ou r beloved Founders were college undergraduates, very like undergraduates of today, and when Pi Beta Phi had only one tiny chapter-the forerunn e r of the ninety-seven active chapters which tod ay keep Pi Beta Phi first among fraternities.

The Johnstone Scholarships, which the 1948 Convention es tabli shed, have had gratifyi ng s up po rt from active chapters with the result that in 1949, the fraternity was able to gra nt 6ve $300 undergraduate scho larships. While improved economic co nd itions in Europe have resulted in a somewhat lessened n eed for help to children in war-torn countries, the hearts of Pi Beta Phis are still touc hed by individual instances o f acute need and are warmed by the thought that they ca n bring happiness to littl e children whose Jives are even yet filled with uncertainty, deprivation, and insecurity. Many Pi Phis, too, have become so a ttached to their little Pirk1cos or Amos that they are unwilling to l ose touch with them even when actual crises are past. Duri ng the year 1949-'0 , eight active chap ters and five clubs gave full spo nso rships and others shared children whose sponsorships had to come from a combination of small gifts. All in all, Pi Beta Phis contributed more than $2300 to Save the Children, this year, and so strengthened the bonds of world friendship. One can on ly guess at the additi onal boxes o f gifts and clothing which told of Pi Beta Phi thoughtfulness and generosity

Pi Beta Phi's extension has continued to be con · sistent and conservative, as it has held to its accepted policy of taking no new group just for numbers, of accepting the petitions o nl y of groups which have proved themselves capab le of becoming strong chapters, a nd of keeping in touch with general extension trends and newly opening fields. The past year saw chapters in stalled at the University of Alabama, in response to the expressed wishes of the 1948 Conventi on, and at the San Diego State College and Santa Barbara Co ll ege, campuses newly opened for nationalization. All new chapters ue giving the fraternity distinguished representation on campuses of impor-

tance both now and for the future . Th e Grand Presi · dent can not refra i n from exp ressing he r in teres t in Phi Chi of D avis and Elkins Co ll ege, which will peti· tion thi s Conven ti on. For the past several years she has known [his group through correspondence and from th ose conta cts she has developed an appreciation fo r Phi Chi a nd its co ll ege which makes her fee l co nfid ent that they offer a true oppo rtunity for wise Pi Beta Phi extens io n

The r eg ret w hi ch Pi Beta Ph i feels at the decisio n of G o ucher Co ll ege that national f rate rn ities may no longer maintain chapters o n its camp us is as great as is it s pride in the long record of fine service to Gou· cher a nd to th e fraternity by Pi Beta Phi ac tives and alumna! o f M ary land Alpha . What a comfo rt l ies in the knowledge that bei ng a Pi Beta Phi is a t hi ng of life. l o ng happiness !

The n atio na l awa r ds for chap ter and individua l exce ll ence will be announced at the Convention banquet. This year, fo r the first time, the Theta Province Award fo r Chap ter Imp rovement, a handsome steeling si lve r bow l presented to th e fraternity by Vera Lee M oss, f orme r Theta Prov in ce Pr es ident, will be an· no unced.

As Pi Beta Phi' s de l el;ate to National Pan he ll eni c Confere nce, the Grand Pr esident has si ncerely tri ed to make a constru cti ve con t rib ution to th e ca use of fraternities and to ma ke evident a lw ays Pi Beta Phj 's tru e Pan he ll enic in te rest. At present, she is serving as the Comm itt ee on Educa tion and as t he Contact M ember fo r the National Council of Women of th e United States. Her int eres t in City Panhell enics re· mains g reat even though p ress ure of work made it im possi bl e for he r to add membership o n that com· mittee to the other ass ig nmen ts so she feels a special pri de i n the severa l newly o rganized and affiliated City Panh e ll en ics which are th e resu lt o f the in te rest and e ff o rt o f Pi Beta Phi alumna! At the spC(ia l invitation of th e chairmen o f the Interfraternity Resea rch and A dvisory Cou ncil and the National Committee of Col· l ege Fraternities and Soc ieties, she attended the an· nual meetings of these two inter·Panhe llni c groups, in A pril. The value of these groups and of the serv ice which they give to co ll eges, fraternities , and honor societ i es is in creas ing ly evident.

During th e year, just end ed, th e Gran d President has been p ri vileged to in stall California Epsi lo n, California Zeta, and A labama Beta a n d to enjoy cheri shed fell owship with the loyal local Pi Phis who

made each in sta ll atio n a rar e and t reasured fraternity expe ri ence. At the time of th e Santa Barba ra installat ion, she was hono red by the alumna: clubs in the Los Ange l es a rea at a Panhellenic tea whose beaut iful deco rative scheme of camellias was breathtaking and whose Pi Phi sp irit was heartwarming. She was privi · leged at th a t time , too, to meet with the officer s and the Ex ecuti ve Com mi ttee o f the Los An geles Alumn :c C lub and to sha re th eir p leasure in a de ligh tful lu ncheon given by its p resident, Ethe l H oga n Copp; to have dinner with California Gamma; and to be very co nsc i o us of Ca liforni a D e lta's warmt h o f hospitality. She has visi ted officially New Y ork Alpha, Gamma, a nd D e lta; Tennessee Al pha, Be ta , and Gamma; Colorado Al pha; and Kentu cky Alpha, and has loved her contac ts with them a nd with their alumnre. Because this would be th e l ast Fo und ers' D ay for M a ryl a nd Alpha as an active chapter, Grand ' Counci l a ll owed the Grand President to accept that chapter 's i n vitat i on to share its celebrati o n and she gai ned a deep in spiration and pleasure from t h is op· portunity to be with Mary land Alpha , th e Baltimore alumna: , and Mary la nd Be ta and to be welcomed too by D C. Alpha whose mem be r s she unfortunately didn't have an opport un ity to see. She was the guest speaker at the Pan hellenic Workshop at the U nive r · sity o f T en nessee and fou nd it a most valuable and valued expe ri en ce. A conBi ct in dates ma kes it im· possi bl e fo r her to acce pt an invitation to spea k at the Phi Sigma Sigma con ve n ti on, in J u ne, but s he will spea k at th e Pa nhell eni c dinn er in conn ec ti o n with th e con ve nti o n o f D elta S igm a Epsilon , in Chi cago, in Au gust. These evide nces of int er·fraternity friendship mean much to her, and she hopes to r epresent Pi Beta Phi acceptably. She found a deep p l easure in going to Kansas City fo r its beautiful Fou nd e rs' Day ban · quet at whi ch she sha red an abiding inspi rati o n with the K ans.'lS City A l umnre Club, members of other alumn a: clubs in th e vi cinity and pract ica ll y the com· plete active chapters of Mi ssou r i Alph a, Mis sou ri Gamma, Kansas Alph a , an d Kansas Beta. There are no wo rds to express the warmth of Pi Be ta Phi has· pita lity o r what it means in happin ess fo r you r Gran d President.

Ma y th e Gran d Pres i dent, o nce agai n, exp r ess her deep apprec iati o n fo r the heartening suppo rt a nd the rea l joy whi ch h ave co me to he r in wo rking closely with t he n a tion a l and province officers who have so endeared to her and in knowing t hat back of them and of her have been the coun tl ess, equally devoted chapte r an d alum n.r club officers, th e sta nding committee members, the alumn:r advisory com mitt ee members, a nd the faithful, in divid ual ac· tives and alum nr whose constant hard work and loya lty a re the true sou rce of the fraternity's g reat· ness, For these, fo r the opportu ni ty to se rve Pi Beta Phi , a nd fo r the privilege of being a part of a f ra· ternity which so co nscious l), strives towards its i deals of beautifu l and purposeful li ving, she is increasingly grateful.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE·PRESIDENT

To the aillmllil oj Pi Bela Phi: A T THE Natiorul Panhellenic Confe ren ce last Ncr .L\.. vembe r one of the sprakers UsM William Allen White's words '" enjoyed Yeste rday. I love Today, I am not afraid of Tomorrow," In reviewing the work of the Alu mnz D epartment for the past twO years we might well paraphrase same words and sayWe are proud of Yesterd ay We workN fo r T oday. We are planning for Tomorrow.

We ARE proud of yesterday, We are proud of the rich heritage which is ours in th e high ideals which OU f Founders have g iven u s, in the privilege o f membership in the first nationa l lrate rnity for women, and in the ma ny other "6ests" which be lo ng to Pi Beta Phi because of their vision, and the vision and leadership of those who have followed th em. A.5 for todaya review of the accomplishments of the past two years is convin ci ng evidence th at we HAVE worked. If we pu t firs t things fi rst we must consider membe rship, for the measure of your success i n interes tin g a large percentage of your membership is f elt in so many other ways. Some one said "You r organization will take full advantage of its assets only when it kttps its full membership" as active members, and we are proud indeed to pay special tribute to our hundred percente r s-four of them n ew clubs. They are: Oxford, Ohio; Southeastern In d iana; She lb yvi ll e, Indiana; Lakeland, Fl o rida ; Pensacola , Fl orida; A vo n, Illinois ; Carthage, Ill inois; Hutchinson , Kansas ; Man hatta n, Kan sas; Lawrence, Kan sas; Lake Charles, Louisia na; McAleste r, Ok lahoma; Midland, T exas; O sceo la , Ar kansas; Pauls Vall ey, Ok lahoma; \'(/ enatchee, Wa sh ington; So lano County, California; a nd Roswe ll, N ew M exico. It is of int eres t to no te th a t for as fa r back as records are ava ilabl e the Lakeland, Florida Club has been 100% in membership!

Curre n tly 118 clubs, not including the new ones, had an en larged membership Three more cl ubs have moved into the over 100 member ca tegory this year, making a total of 19, and Los Ange les continues to be in the over 200 g r oup. The eleven provinces showing a gain are: Al pha East, Beta, Gamma, Del ta, Epsi· lon, Zeta, Eta, Iota, Kappa , Lambda , and M u.

Some of gain s can be attr ibuted to the thirtyone clubs chartered in the two year inte rim, sixteen of them actively participating groups this year. We welcomed in to the fraternity the following alumnr dubs: Mi dla nd , Texas, with twenty-fo ur me mbers; Centin ela Valley, California, with twenty members; Roswell , New Mexico, with eleven members; Amarillo, Texa s, w i th thirty-six membe rs; Lexington , Kentu cky, with twe lve members; Kla ma th FaUs, Ore· go n , with twe lve members ; Pen saco la, Fl or ida, with nineteen members ; The Palm Beaches, Florida, with eig ht een m embers; H udso n Rive r, New Y o rk , with fifteen members; Lubbock, T exas, with fourteen membe rs; So lan o Cou nt y, Ca lifo rnia, wi th ten members; Sioux Falls , South D a ko ta, with te n membe rs; Sp r ingfield, Ohio, with sixteen members; and Lake C ou n ty , Florida, with thirteen members.

But unfortunately we must take four steps ba ckward with the loss o( our fou r dubs at the end of th is yea r-Northe rn In diana; Crowley Ri dge, Arkansas; EI D o rado, Arkansas; and R io Grande V a ll ey, Texas, so that we end the year with 241 clubs on ou r roste r

A great many dubs indicate their concern over thei r inability to rolist as active membe rs a larg er percent of the resident alumn:r. This is not a n ew prob lem , and we strive constantly to lind the answer .

We have wondered jf part o( the fault has not bee:n in the kind of training, or la ck of it , we give our active members This ru r this became the topic for o ne of the required Pi Phi Night programs. The chapter chairmen were asked to send their reports to thi s office and the best one was selected from among them by a committee headed by Emilie M argaret White , fo rm e r Grand Vi ce-President; and working with her was Nell Anderson Spru ce , former Gamma Provin ce President and Vi ce-President, and Beatri ce Tait Trusse ll , pa st president of the Washington Al umn:t Club and membe r of the Maryland Beta AJ umnr Advisory Committee The award goes to Oregon Gamma chapter.

These reports show an awakening to th e problem, and offe r su ch suggestions as more frequent contacts with alumnr for more purely socia l occasions, alumnr spo nso rs for p ledges, a fuller kn ow ledge of what alumnr clubs do, interchange of actives at alumn:t club meetings, and a l umnr at active chapter meetings, and newsletters with an alumn:t secti o n

This year 868 seniors paid alumnr dues, and it is to be that this program will have stimulated their desire to affiliate w ith th eir local club and that the clubs will go out of their way to welcome them and fi nd a place for them to se rve their fraternity as alumnr members.

The compa nion of memhelShip is attendan ce. The best way to keep attendance high is by having set dates for meetings so tha t time can be set aside for them with fewe r resuiting co nfl icts of obl igations. Programs should be plann ed to appea l actively to all age an d in terest g roups. M ate r ia l fo r two of the r equired meet in gs was sent o ut from Central Office thi s yea r-o ne written by the Natio na l Hi sto ri an dea ling with the 1888 Con ve nt ion, and th e other wr itte n by M arjorie Cha lmers , n urse at the Settlement School, giv ing a wo rd picture of a typ ical day at the School H ealth Center Both of these were u sed extensive ly by a large majority of the cl ubs, and a desire has been expressed for more of th is t ype of program aids. The Year Books received from 148 clubs showed variety in program , and i ngenuity in make up Fou nde rs' Day programs in T acoma and H onolulu had added meaning for their members in that they had as child ren of Founders Cleon Soule, son of I nez Smith Sou le was the guest of the Tacoma Club, and M rs. Martin An de rso n, daughte r of Libbie Brook Gaddis, was the guest of the H ono lulu Pi Phi s.

The rea l wo rk for the fra ternity came with support given to t he projects of Pi Beta Phi. The words of praise fo r our Sett lemen t School spoken at the meeting of National Pan hellenic Co nfer ence last fa ll sti ll r ing i n ou r and make one real i ze that th e nrst philanthropic project o f any NPC glOUp remains first.

Eig ht clubs contributed over $200.00 to th e Sett lement Schoo l. For the fourth consec utive yea r St. lo ui s has given $1,000 .00. Other high co ntri bu to rs are Philadelphia , Pennsylvania gi vi ng Kansas City, Missouri, and Cleveland East, Ohio each .$300 .00; Milwaukee, Wisconsin $2n.00; Lafayette, Tndia na $203 .5 1; and Denver, Co lo rado and In d ianapo lis, In dia na $200.00.

A number of clubs remembered the School at specia l times during the year. Many boxes of toys, candies, and clothing were reaived at Chri stmas time, and helped to make this sp«ial day o ne of happiness for the children. Cincinnati continued its a nnu al cus tom of sending a box of athletic equipment. Westchester agai n used meeti ng time to sew on layettes (or the

H ealth Center. O th er clubs sent books for th e Grace G ood hu e Coo l idge Libra ry, money for the purchase of reco rds for t he music app recia tio n programs, and maps fo r cla ss work. Th e Mem ori,a l has had , an even wi de r appeal fo r tho se who hke hvmg memon a ls and gifts of r em emb ran ce.

There were many more Arrowcraft sa les this yea r with 7 4 of th em realizing a large r gross profit t ha n las t year. Of thi s number 9 paid Arrowc raft ov er $1,000.00 after ded ucti ng their 25% profi t. Th ey are as follows: H ousto n, T e xa s; Champaign-Urbana, JIlinois; P ortl and, Oregon; A lb uqu e rque, New M exi co; Marin County, Ca lifornia; D env er, Colorado; Cl eveland East, Ohi o ; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ; and Omaha , Nebras ka

Seve ra l sa les were uniqu e in thei r approach. One club he ld the ir sale in conju nctio n with a benefi t square dance, another di sp layed and so ld the products in the lob b y of a thea ter duri ng a benefit pe rformance . In vitat i ons to place downt ow n wi n dow disp la ys were accep t ed in seve ral in stan ces. A fe w clubs have changed fr om a fall pre-Christmas sa le to one in th e spring that mi gh t also be used as rushing-some have both. Arrowcraft n o t onl y has invit at i o ns for such sa les ava il a ble for clu b use at a small fee, but thi s year have added posters whi c h may be used to publicize their sa le. Pre-sa l e meeti ngs have been held as refre s her co ur ses fo r ou r members so that they might be abl e not o nly to answer questio ns, but to be ambassad o rs of good w ill for the Schoo l, and in a larger sense for the frat ernity system, in le tting non-fraternity people know that we are no t a purely social organization.

We wonder if we fully realize what a tremendous va lue this sort of publicity has had for Pi Beta Phi ove r th e years. One club in sea rchin g fo r a loca l project interviewed a p rofession a l socia l worker abo ut poss ib ilities, o nly to be as ked why t hey were even thinking of another project when they had their own Settlement Schoo l. H e r comments about the School were 50 full of p ra ise f or t he nature and ca l ibre of our serv ice that the clu b gave up any idea o f a local proj ect and turned thei r efforts to support of Our own a lready establis hed one.

We can best sum up our work for the Settlement School by r epeati ng the words o f Elizabeth Clarke H elmick, an early Committee Chai r ma n as she spok e at the W ashington, D .C. Founders' Day lun cheon this year. She said " Dreams can come true."

Th e H o lt H o use fil m, whi ch ha s ci r culated among the clubs has increased the knowledge of and appreciati on for t his possession of the fraterni ty Tw enty-four clubs incr eased their donation whil e others gave th e ir cus tomary amounts. This year th ere have been m an y fewe r to ken gifts. Io wa City, I owa, and K a n sas City Mi sso uri, l ed th e fraternity in th eir gifts of $50 .00 each.

Thi s is the second year that the Emma Harpe r Turn e r Fund has been includ ed in the th r ee projects fo r 100% recognition for cl ubs. Th e grow ing appreciation fo r this project with its two fold pu r pose of assisting chapters with their building program s th ro ugh l oa ns, and of extendi ng a ht:lping hand to those in special need by means of g ifts to th e m out of the fund built up by interest on the cha pte r ho use loans is evidenced by the fact that forty clubs increased their dona ti o ns. Speci a l mention shou ld go to 51. Louis fo r t hei r gift o f $350.00; to Ka n sas City , Mi sso uri fo r $100.00; to Portland, Oregon an d Berkeley, California for $50.00; and to t he followin g clubs for their co ntributions of $25.00 each, Col umbu s, Ohio ; Pittsburgh, Pe nn sy lva nia ; Wa sh ington , D.C. Sen i o r Club; D etroit, Mi ch igan ; San M ateo, and Lo s Angeles, Cali fo rnia

The following provinces were 100 % in support of these projects: Alpha -East, Beta, Delta , Theta, I o ta, Lambda, and Mu.

This r ecord for our three projects is all th e more amazing in view of the author i zed campaign fo r fund s for th e proposed H ome fo r Pi Beta Phis . Gift s to thi s fund have come from individuals contacted by Jocal chai rm en for the dr ive as well as a ::tu a l club gi fts earn ed b y the proj ec t method. Some clubs are hold ing funds earmarked for late r contributi o ns. Clubs sending $200.00 o r mor e a re as fo llows; Long Be a ch, California $774.90; Glendale, Califo rnia $683.30; North Sho re, Illin ois Senior $600.00; San Fe rnando, Califo rn ia $ 500.00 ; Chi cago South, JII inois $460 _00; Cleve l and Eas t, Ohio $3 50.00; Pasad ena, Ca l ifornia sno.oo; Omaha , Nebraska $250 .0 0 ; Oak Parle·River Forest, Illin ois $2 00.00; Minn eapo l is Mt e rn oo n, M in· nesota , $200.00; and Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania, $200 .00. Comme nt about thi s phase o f fraternity work would not be complete without wo rd s of hi g h prai se for the Committee of Five composed of members o f the t wo Cleveland c1ubs-a jo b inherited from the last Conventi o n-so ably guided by Mary Wallihan Gibson. Enough can not be sa id fo r th e worle of the membe r s of the two Cl eve l and club s, who worked with this Committee i n st uffing, stamping, and sea l i ng the mo re tha n 35,000 brochures whi ch went o ut, tellinq o f the proposed home and enl isti ng support fo r it. The work of this Committee ha s been supplemen ted by the Committee of Fo rty. These clubs were designated by last conventi o n and th e clubs in turn sel ected the person to Stcve These members have fo llowed up the appeal of the brochure.

Inte res t in o ur wo rk through the Save the Chil dre n Federa tion continues. M any dubs and chap ters have held partial o r full sponsors hips and have furth er added to the care and comfort of t hese chi ldren and their families by the food a nd clothing sent them The fo ll ow ing clubs have contributed sufficient amounts to hold full sponsorships: Champaign ·Urbana, IIIi· nois; H o nol ulu , T H .; North Shore, Illinois , Senior; Oak Park-Ri ve r Fo res t, Illin ois, and Tul sa, Oklahoma. Berkeley, Californi a has given more th an enough to care for two childrm for one year.

Space does not permit a review o f, or even extmded. comment about t he num ber o r bnd o f l oca l projects curied o n Or supported by ow clubs. There

arc those giving money. others volunteering time and effort, wtuie some give both . Thnt. like our Settlement School are good public relation s, to say nothing of the joy one feels in the doing.

Ow grratcst delight is our work with and for our chapten--io helping with rushing, in serving on Advisory Committees and H ouse Corpontions, in htlping r:a.ise funds [or building or repairing o r just adding some item of furniture or equipment, but most of all in just kn owing them for the fine young women they arc, and taking pride in their accomplishments, and the bonor they bring to Pi Beta Phi. Perhaps the two significant gifts to chapters are the $1,000.00 given by Junior Groups-if you please-to Texas Bm by the Dallas group. and to Indiana Epsilon by the Indianapolis group. A special mark of interest in the active chapters is the awarding of the Ruth Barrett Smith Scholarship to an undergraduate by the AlumnI! Department . This is the third yeu this award has been made and goes to Cheryl Bastian, Ohio for 19'0-'1.

No less important but falling into a more regular pattero in the plans of clubs is the celebration of Chapter Loyalty Day, and the recognition and honoring of our members of The Order of The Golden Arrow As Grand Council went over the app lications for the Harriet J oh nston Scholarships they were by the fine quality of the girls and the r epwhich they make for Pi Beta Phi on their campuses. It seemed an idea fo r the future that individuals or clubs might express loyalty to their chapters on Chapte r Loyalty D ay by remembering this fund which makes possible the contin uation of education for a nwnber of girls whose service to their chapters might otherwise be lost.

It is a matter of considerable rride that our alumnI! continue to fill positions 0 leadership i n City Panhellenic affairs, and have in many instances been the instigators and leaders in organizing new Gty Panhellenic groups. The day when we can go our way alone has long si n ce passed, and it is fitting that th e pioneer amo n g fraternities for women shou ld find its members working di li gent ly in an o rganization that contributes to the preservation and s trengthening of the whole fraternity system

In our report last year we spoke of the financial problems of the Al um n I! Department. These same problems must be a part of the report of this yea r .

I t was hoped that an increase in the number of paid members might alleviate the condition , but the difference between income and expenses continue to be such that it leaves 00 choice but the recommendation s which are being presented to Convention by Grand Council.

The Province Vi ce-Presidents have made the majority of their club visits this year, and it is gratifying to see the impetus in effort which these personal contacts give to both the clubs and the officers. We wish to speak a warm word of praise for each alumnI! club officer , and the manner in which she has fulfilled the duties of her office. We urge especially that plans for instructing and tnining new officers be a part of the swnmer planning of every club. Only i n such a way can we be assured of continuity and growth .

The same words of praise go to the Provin ce Vi cePresidents. It is thro ugh their eyes that your Grand Vi ce- President and the other members of Grand Council see the individual parts that go to make up the Alu mnr Department.

We were greatly disappointed that the Flu germs kept us from visits with Pennsy lvania B and r and Ohio E and several alumnr clubs in Beta Province. The p leas ure of knowing and being with Ohio A, B, Z, and West Virginia A and alumna: clubs in Athens and Columbus, Ohio made us r egret the more thi s necessarv can cellation of our plans. We are grateful to the Grand Secretary, Mrs. Carson, for making these visits for us on short notice.

We e njoyed the privilege of attending the National Panhe lle n ic Conference last fa ll , the informal contacts with D .C. A, Maryland B, and I ndiana 1' , and were honored to have ha d a small part in the final Founders' Day Banquet of Maryland A.

In all of these ways we have w or ked for Today And n ow we are planning for Tomorrow. If each club wou ld examine its own reco rd and then conside r the qu estion "What kind of an Alumnr Department would we have if every club was just like ours?" we need have no concern for the future Many of the r lans for T omorrow will come out of the decisions 0 thi s Conventio n M ay these de li berations, then, be marked by the same wisdom and foresight that guided our Founde rs so that when Tomorrow becomes the past we may continue to say-We are proud of Yesterday . MARIANNE REID WILD, Grand Viu-Presidenl

GRAND SECRETARY

A NOTHER frat ernity year has come to an end and r\.. the acc umulating reports begi n to bring its record into focus. Pi Beta Phi with its ninety-seven chapters, its two hundred and fort y-o n e alumnI! clubs and its membership of almost fifty thousand could seem to the uninitiated 100 to be personal in any way. But this is not true. The most satisfyi ng thing about membership in the frat ernity is the constant awareness of the in divid ual and, about working in the fraternity, the awareness of the attitude whi ch the individual takes toward her responsibility to the fraternity

The Grand Secretary begins the fraternity yea r with a memory o f Grand Cou n cil at wo rk as she rec ords the proceedings of the annua l meeting. And she closes the year with a study of chapters and clubs at work as she receives the annual reports. One cannot read the nin ety-seven reports of the Convention delegates and not be proud of the record of Pi Beta Phi chapters in the year 1949-50. At almost the same time the

applications fo r the H arriet Ruth e rford John stone scho lars h ips have been arriving and again, i n die Pi Phi active, we see individua l charm, loyalty, service, and scholastic performance--special qualiti es which seem to mark the wearers of the AIrow on the campuses of our continent. From a third direction have to the Secretary reports of national officers and chai rmen, setting dow n their accounts of chapters and clubs. The Pi Phi must read these reports in the ARRow, carefully, if she would know her fraternity as she should, and if she does she will be very proud. The record written there is not an account of the accomplishment of the fnternity's large corps of vo lunteer workers, a l though they have had a share in it , but of the day by day performance of every club and every chapter and of their able and devoted membership.

Letters to AlumnI! Advisory Committees have been writte n throughout the year and the annual questionnaire was sent out in January A preliminary study of

replies has been made as they have been returned and the fine cooperation of many in the personal and helpful tone of the completed report has been deeply appreciated. We have almost five hundred women engaged in this clo se association with our chapters and no one can estimate the ho urs of service and the importance of the guidance given by these loya l alumnre. In many instances the delegates to Convention have spoken their recognition and appreciation of the faithfulness of alumnre service and devotion.

Th ere have been five chapters jn the fraternity thi s yea r which have been unde r the special supervision provided by Grand Council through the Secretary for a period of two years. Washington Gamma and Tennessee Gamma have comp leted their orientation pe· riod and are no longer fledglings. These two chap te rs have tried their wings and, especially in sc ho lar ship, they have l ifted th em above chapters very much older a nd more experienced. Alabama B and California E have ended their first year and California Z, one semester. The Alabama B chapter is a new group, co l onized by Pi Beta Phi, while the California chapters are in the process of making the transition from strong, l ong·established locals into the national fra· tcrnity. Regular contact has been established with the chapter president, the specia l superviso r and the chairman of the Alu mnre Advisory Committee of these five chapte r s and a clear picture of each has been main· tained through their faithful correspondence. Each group has made progress a nd will start out in the fall with full assurance.

The Gran d Secretary has the privilege of working with the national chairman of the Mu sic, Fraternity Study and Examination, Social Exchange, Chaperon, Transfer and Scholarship Committees. In each case the chairman is experienced in her assignment, having served long enough to know what she wants to do and how to promote he r own project. Thus our work together has proved to be less of serious consultation and, more, of mutual encouragement. The material sent out by these chairmen has been studied and the ir repor ts and suggestions have bee n carefully consid· ered. Here, too, jf you will read the brief reports of these chairmen you wi ll find a new understanding of detail and resu lt s in fields of real value to the fraternity and oft en l ittle known.

For in sta nce, is ther e a realization that major emphasis has been pla ced upon good scholarship throughout the whole fraternity world and that Pi Beta Phi has continued her long-time po li cy of great emphasis, under a very hard-working chairman ? And,

Tthe awareness of the widespread development of compet itive Song Contests, whi ch have become almost uni. vr: csal, challenging c hapters to provide trained l eadership and good group singing? And, is there the knowledge that the frat ernity keeps tra ck of the individual Pi Phi who leaves her original campus; ha s developed an extensive program of sharing interes ting and successful party, decorat ion and celebration id eas; keeps a record of chaperons , giving gu idance in their duti es and relations with chapter and cam pu s, and a r eference li st of available applicants; and that it studies continually to make the active and pledge examinat io n s really effective toward an informed membe rship?

The Grand Secretary has kep t tra ck o f, and arranged for, the moving of the national trophies according to the awards made; has sen t out the Cipher and Key as needed; has corresponded with app li ca nt s and winners of the Harriet Rutherford Johnstone scho l arships, and, fulfilled the recording and correspo nden ce duties of her office.

It was a very great plea su re to accept the assignment to Alpha East Province this yea r and to visit its seven interesting chapters The gracious hospitality of these chapte rs and their Advisory Committees is remembe red very gratefully, as is the pleasure in the fellowship enjoyed in the Hartford Alumnre Club and at the ir City Panhellenic tea. Regretting the illness of Mrs. Wild and the loss to the chapters of her specia l helpfulness, it was good to be with Pennsylvania Beta and Gamma chapters once again. The Founders' Day ce l ebratio n with the Buckn e ll chapter and the Central Pennsylvania Alumnre Club is a happy memory

This officer was asked to make the inspection visit for Grand Counci l at Davis and El kin s and enjoyed her contacts with the peti tioning group and th e administration. Th e understanding of inter-fraternity p rob lems and inter-fraternity cooperation which comes from attendance at the biennial meeting of the National Panhellenic Conference is invaluable and the one at Skytop, Pennsylvania was no exception in training. A key.note talk before the Bethany College Panhellenic in their first workshop gave opportunity to serve.

The Grand Secretary is deep l y gratefu l for the opportunity of servi ng her frat ernity and of enjoying the precious privilege of many associations, happy and in spiring.

LUCILE DOUGLASS CARSON Grand Secrelary

ARROW EDITOR

HIS year has been o ne o f much interest and much hard work fo r the ARROW Edito r!

We were confronted with the necess ity of reducing expenditures, and since printing costs continued to be high , thi s meant a red ucti o n in the a lready small of pages of the ARRow-smail, that is, in proportion to the quantity of material that comes in about Pi Phis who are doing things. Adequately to present, o r rather, to represent the Fraternity and its doings , would take at least 128 pages. Instea d we used 96 pages in December and March, with a ri se to 112 pages made necessa ry for the May issue by the publication of the usual section of pictures of social honor girls-it was interesting that the pictures used were those which came in from well·instructed cor-

responding secretaries who had read their manuals and complied with them- no sperial request was sent out, since we knew it would be impossib le to use all the pictures it would have ca lled forth . As it wa s, the task of cutting down the May issue was very difficult, and in the end we were force d to u se 112 pages, since to have c ut to 96 pages would have required the omission either of the picture section, or of the a lumnre club letters. If furth er cu ts must be made for year, they can only be made by using chapter and alumnre letters only once a year for each-elch letter to made a brief record of the doings of the entire year. Pictures in the feature section, too, have been sacrificed and the masazine would have been less attra ctive had it Dot been for the generosity

of Mr. Paul Busey. National Auditor and good ((i end, whose double hobby of photography and Nationa l Park led him to make the ARROW a present of not only the pictures but also the exptnse of mak.ing the cuts which made beautiful the Deambee and May issues, while for the March issue the cuts with the Convention section were supplied by the Canadian National Railway. which has been most coopt'rative.

In return (or Me. Busey's generosity, we made him Convention photognaphic of the ARRow, and he has great plans for supervising all picture taking for Convention, cooper ati ng with the official photographer of Jasper Lodge. Mr. Busey's love ly colored slides of Jasper were in such dema nd that he has kept (our sets of them circulati ng a ll this yeu, and our people have been charmN with them

The amount of this year's saving in costs will ap · pear in the report o f the Grand Treasurer.

For the past two years we have used two grades of paper in the ARRow , with th e object of havi ng the best pi ctures appea r on paper of fine finish which allows for the clearest reproduction of cuts. AI its meeting la st summe r in D ecatur Grand Coun cil voted to place the Directory pages, 17 pages of them, at the front of the magazine, and in con sequ en ce those routine pages appeared on the good paper, with a redu cti on of the pages which allow the best reproduction. We are looking for a solution of this problem, as the use of the more expensive paper is impossible for th e entire is sue with our present revenues

It is with pleasure that we can ann o un ce that a fraternity Directory will be issued within this yea r , but with r eg ret mu st say that owing to a ruling of the Post Office D epa rtm en t, thi s can no t go out as an issue of the ARROW to a ll of our 40,600 subscrib er s. Aft er competitive bidding, the contract for print· ing the large volum e which thi s will mean, even with o nl y two sections, geog r ap hi ca l and alphabetical, has been let to the G eorge Banta Pub li shing Company, whose bid was the lowest, and whose worle for the ARR OW is outstanding. Cent ra l Office has been working on the material for the Directory a ll this year, gath· e ring data and training personnel in the operation of th e new machines, Th e printin g will be do ne by an e ntirely new process, usi ng the ve ri type machines to set the pages, and the offset presses for printing them, with a considerable saving over o ld methods of typesetting. The Directory will be issued to all those who have had th e cos t of a Directory inclu ded in their initiation fee but have n ever received a Directory iss ue; to all chapters; to all alumnz clubs; to all officers for their official fi les. For a ll other members the Directory will be o n sa le a t Ce ntral Office, the pri ce S2.00 coverin ,g the bare cost.

It is with regret that the Editor hears that Lorraine Pet ers, National Directo r of Publicity is resign i ng . H er work has been outsta nding. her re leases inter· est ing and welcomed by clubs and chapters.

The Editor's co nta cts with the National Hi stor ia n and her assista nt have been an inspiration as always Mrs Simmons has her office splendidly o rgani zed, her materia l a ccess ib le and well·prolected-but more than that she brings to it a real love for fraternity history and traditi o n and a real desi re to do ca reful research

o n doubtful points which come up in connection with the early history. She has bes ides do ne excellent serv ice in visiting clubs o n their invitation, givi ng ta lks on the history in an al ways cha rming and in· teresting manner , H er a5.si.stant, Mrs Delaney, has her files of chap ter histories well o rganized, but they are outgrowing all possibility of storing them indefinitely. The subject was discussed, and the Edito r ' , co nclusion is that some new plan must be devised for talcing care of this storage to have chapter historians p repare along with their a brief resume of the year, no mOre than a page, to be kep t in the n atio nal files for possib le future reference - the o r igi nal of the Hi sto ry to be r e turned to the chapter for its files whe n the national competition has been decided , The Editor recommends that some such plan be discussed by Grand Council.

This year has been made a very full and happy o ne by the work of supervis io n of Califo rnia Ewith never a dull moment, and very few idl e o nes! It has been fascinating to watch the development of the new chapter. T heir cooperatKlO has been fine, he r association with them a joy. A new and larger room has been secu red, and will be furnished and equipped du rin g the summer. Thi s Spring the editor has tried mo re and more to make the chap ter a nd advisory board independent of her, and will conti n ue that policy for the .second year o f her work ,

The meeting of the Editors' Conferen ce at the tim e o f NPC wa s int eresting as us ual , and the enl argement o f its numbers a long with the new membe rs of NPC brnught new viewpoints that were worthwh ile

Last summe r was spent in preparati o n for th e in · sta ll at ion of California E, with M iss Onken's visit to in stall the n ew chapte r as it s climax. It was a privilege, too , to attend the in sta llati o n of California Z in Febr uary, agai n as assistant to Mi ss Onken.

D ur ing the Spring chapter visits were made to Utah A (which has been under the specia l supervi sion o f the Edit o r for the past year ), and to Arkansas A, Oklahoma A and B, Loui siana A a nd B, T exas A and B. A schedule complicated by varying dates of Spring vaca tions made it impossible to accep t sev· e ral a lumn a! club invitations in Kappa Provi nce, but it was a pleasure to have lun cheo n with the Fa yettevi lle club ; a dinner in Tul sa with a group of alumnr; a dinner and evening with Stillwater alumn:r; din ner in Oklah oma City with a la rge g roup; Founders' Day luncheon with the T exarkan a Club; lun ch eon a nd Fo und er s' Day d inn er with the new club in Bryan.Coliege Station; dinner in Au sti n at D o rothy Thrasher's with 200 chapter and alumnr club members; Founde rs' Day with Fort Worth club ; and finally Founders ' Day with the Dallas club, at the Dallas Country Club with more tha n 200 pre sent. All these visits were made h ap py by the wonderful sp irit and loya lty of these Pi Phi s-for all thi s the Editor is grateful.

We are grateful, too, to a ll who have he lped the ARROW during this busy year; to the faithful ARROW staff; to Grand Council fo r its unfailing support; to Haro ld Ba chmann of the Banta Publi sh ing company fo r much fine worle this yeu,

It is a privilege as always to have served Pi Beta Phi.

DIRECTOR OF RUSHING AND PLEDGE TRAINING

THE OPPORTUNITY for service to pj Beta Phi which thi s past year ha s given this officer has been a sou rce of real pleasure to her. The r esponsibilities of this office have been unusually h eavy these past twelve months and many extra hours have been devoted 10 the w o rk. Two new duties were added la st s ummer, t h e organization and planning of the new set-up for the State Rush Ch a irme n and th e preparation of four uniform Pi Phi Night Prog rams for the chapters.

T here are two fa ctors of great importance to th e future strength and high s tandard of Pi Beta Phi; w i se choice of new members after a we ll planned. ethical ru s h and the early training of pledges in the h igh idea ls and hi sto ry of our fraternity A lways, we strive to select girls who meet only the highest standa rds of nne character, intelligence, and moral integrity As we receive these girls into the bonds of friend s hip we must rcco&nize our r espo nsibil it ies 10ward them We must give th em a well planned, care(ully lliedge training in order to help them become well-adjusted, mature loya l and coope rative members of thei r $coup. By the t ime that they have fulfilled all fraternity requirements and are initiated. we expect t hem to be ready and eager to assume their place of leadership and responsibility in thei r chapter

The saying, "as a twig is bent, so grows the tret," applies well to fraternity training of new pledges. Thus the dut i es whi ch fall upon all office rs who work w i th p ledges bet:ome especially interesting and challenging ones.

I t has been a privi lege to work with the fine rush captains and pledge s upervisors of our 97 chapters these past twelve months. Their cooperation has been gratifying. Approximate ly 2,400 n ew pl edg es h ave been r eported to this office this year and the required recommendati o ns and co n sents f o r each girl have been ca refully checked to Set that all nati onal requirements have been met. Th ese have been rec orded and placed on file. The D irecto r of Rushing and Pl edge Trainin g keeps the tecommendations and consen ts of all pledges for a ;.e"riod of two year!.

At th e 1948 convention. the alumn::e department recommended a set-up of State Rush Chairmen. This office planned and o rg anized that new set-up last summer and prepared a manual of the work and duties. Thi s has been p lann ed as an experiment aimed at giving assista n ce to the rush captains of our chapters in obtaining information on rushees when other so ur ces have failed. Each pro"ince in Canada and each state has a State Rush Chairman who has worked under the supervisio n of this office. The experiment ha s proven of real value and this assistance to the chap ters senns worthy of being continued.

This past yea r, 1949·50, opened with Grand Council meeting and a Province Officers' workshop. It was the privi lege of this officer to plan and con duc t the meeting of the Provi n ce Pres idents.

Out of the Grand Council meeting came the reo quest for some uniform Pi Phi Night Programs. Four such programs were planned and scnt out this past two for each semester. The programs were pre. pared as discussion programs and th ei r subjects were as fo ll ows:

I. How Can Our Pi Beta Phi Chapter Best Contribute to Life o n Our Campus?

2. Courtesy and Consideration of Others Week (a w ee le: devoted to practicing little courtesies fol. lowed by a planned chapter discussion),

3. Soon You Wi ll Be an Alumna.

4. A Year-cnd I nventory of Our Chapter. Th e program chairmen reported to this officer following each program. The report on the third program went directly to Marianne Reid Wi ld who ge n erous ly offered an award for the best report.

The DIrector of Rushing and Pledge Training had the pleasure o f visiting the eight chapt ers of D e lta Province la st fall. Th e I n diana chapters were visited in October and the Mich igan chapters in November. It was a joy 10 have this opportunity to meet and learn to know SO many fine Pi Beta Phis, both active and alumnor.

It was a n honor to have been asked by Michigan n to be guest speake r at their annual Initiation -Senior Farewell Banquet on May 13. At noon this officer was also invited to be present at the Golden Arrow Lun cheo n hon o ring nine Golde n Arrow Pi Phis.

Imm edia tely following the visits to the I ndiana chapters in October, this officer joined the other members of Grand Council at Skytop, Pennsylvania, to attend th e Nationa l Panhellenic Conference. This proved to be a va l uab le and interesting experi ence.

During the winter, a revision of the manua l of the Chapter Del egate to Convention was comp leted. This revision incorporated suggestions and recommendations from a questionnaire o f the delegates of the 1948 convention.

The required health certincates for all employees handling food in Our Pi Beta Phi chapte r houses were received, rec orded and pb.ced in the files of this office.

During the year, a great amount of individual correspondence has been cared for , but the satisfaction that comes from having given service to a cause so worthy is, in return , full recompense for any amount of time and l abo r spent.

I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to sen'e Pi Beta Phi and to work with SO many w o n derful Pi Phis. It is my nrm belief that if we choose our members intelligently and educate them wisely, we can continue in the way that Our Founders inte nded us to go. We shall surely continue to be the pioneersthe l eaders among ed u ca ted women of the world today and in the future .

CLARA HALL SIPHERD

"If we are t o achieve security and stability in this period of crisis the mailer must be reJ olved by hard-headed thinking based on the kind of thinking women do beJt," said Dr. Raym ond B. Allen, President of the University of Washington. in his addreH to the Pi Beta Phi conventiM "This kind of thinking puts its higheJt premium on human values and resists to the last any weakening or betrayal of its eHential dignity."

DIRECTOR OF EXTENSION

T lX.E aU Pi Beta Phi officers, the Director of Ex. L tension has had a busy and interesting year, be· ginniog in June when she presided over the meetings of the province Vi ce·Presidents at the workshop for provioce officers whi ch was held in Decatu r during the annual meeting of Grand Council.

In October visits were made to Lambda Pro vince where as the guest of M ontana A; Idah o .>\; Washington A, B, and r; Oregon A, B, a nd r ; and Albe rta A she enjoyed the warm hospitality of those chapters and the breath.taking scenery of the North-West. There were opportunities for many pleasant contacts with alwnnz, and meetings of the Portland, Everett, and Seattle Clubs were especjalJy enjoyed. A most delightful week -end was spent in the home of Louise Dobler, Province Vice-President, who was kind enough to drive the visitor to Seatt le. There during the chapter visit she had the plea sure of having dinner with Emily Draper, Lam bda Province Presi· dent, and her husband.

It was a matter of regret that her decision to rruke these visits in the fall prevented th e Director of Extension from attending the Nat iona l Panhellenic Conference at Skytop.

Later in the sp ring additional chapter visits were made to two chapters in her ow n province- Mi ssouri Alph a and Beta, whi ch of co ur se were de lightful. Reports from chapters were re ceived each semester from chapter trea surers of de linquencies, and a check was made to see that constitutional requirement s con· cerning them were met.

new clubs were charte red this year but since three became inactive, the rea l gain wa s only eleven. In Alph a West Hudson Ri ver was chartered; in Beta, Springfield, Ohio; in De lta, Hammond :lnd Muncie, Ind.; in Ep si lon, Lexingto n , Ky.; in Zeta, Pe nsa cola, th e Palm l3eaches and Lake County, Flo rida ; in Kappa , Midland, Amuillo, and Lubbock , Texas ; in Lambda, Klamath Fall s, Oregon ; and in Mu, Centin ela, Salano County, California, and Roswell , New Mexico. Those surrenderi ng their charters were Northern In diana; Crowley Ridge, Arkansas; EI Dorado, and Ri o Grande, Texas.

Extension wa s a very active issu e this year, with the campuses of state tea chers' colleges becoming eligible for NPC groups. Pi Beta Phi was contacted by local sororities, or inquiry was made by alumnre or (ollege authorities regarding the possibility of the fraternity

Destablishing a chapter e n these campuses:

University of Florida-Gainesville, Fl ori da

Western Mi chigan College-Kal:inlazoo

Hartwi ch College-Oneonta

Bowling Green University-Bowling Gree n, Ohio

Pennsylvania State T eachers College- Indiana, Pennsylvania

As directed by the Fren ch lick Convention two campuses were examined to find ou t whether extensio n was desirable on either or both. At the time Grand Preside nt re po rted that Panhellenic felt that due to the drop in enrollment there were a3 many fraternities for women as the campus could support. At the University of Kentucky, inquiries were made of the university authorities by Pi Phi alumna: who reported that general feeling was that no more groups should come on that ca mpus at the present time.

As a result of th e co ntact s m ade during the pa st two years it was decided by action of Grand Council that insplXtion of th e loca l group at Davis and Elkins at Elkin s, West Virgioia , sho uld be arranged. Therefore visits to that campus were made by the Grand Sec retary, Lu ci le Carson; Jean Gustkey, Beta Provin ce President; and the eight chapters in Beta Province. Following fav orab le r eports made on the gro up by these visitors, Grand Ceuncil dlXided unanimou s ly to a ll ow Phi Chi to petition Convention Therefore a booklet of information and an exh ibit has been pre· pared by the group to be presented at this co nventi on

There are many rewards in working for the frater· nit y. but perhaps chief among thes e rewards is the kn owledge that as an officer of Pi Beta Phi, one i s helping to promote a way of living f or college women which will make them finer citizens. A more selfish one is the satisfaction of being in touch with such pleasant people.

As always it ha s been a privilege to worlc: with the Fraternity with its conscienti ous officers and de li ghtfu l membership

MARJE BACON HAGE E

COUNSELOR FOR CHAPTER HOUSE CORPORATIONS

R. G HERBERT SloUTH. President of Willamette University and President of Beta Theta Pi, said in his add ress before the Pi Beta Phi 1948 Conven· tion that one of the greatest fraternity problems in th e next few years would be housing. If the amount of corresponde nce cf the Counselor for Pi Be ta Phi H o use Co r porations during the two years since that statement was mad e is an indication , housing fo r Pi Beta Phi chapters is a big problem, but it is being met and so lved as rapidly and effiCiently as seems advi sab le. The alumnr personn e l of our sixty house corporations deserve great commend atio n for the way in which they meet housing problems as they ari se, and the treasurers are deserving of praise for keeping th e finances of these corporations on a sound basis . Mu ch repair and improvement work and redecorat· ing ha3 been done on all chapter houses since rna· terials have become available. In addition to th ose

mentioned in former r eports, the Ok.lahoma A and Mi ssou ri B houses were completely redecorated when the girls returned la st fall. The New M exico A chapter was thrilled to be in their n ew Lodge for rushing. Ohio new Lodge was fini shed and occupied during the yea r. M aryland D started the co llege year in the house which had been bought and remodeled during the summe r. Mi chigan I' was happily housed in their remodeled apartment house. Ill inois II is delighted with a comp letely remode led and refurnished house. During Ihe yea r an addition has been made to the T exas A house giving the chapter a large l oom with an outside entrance to be used for art work and for making homlXoming, ru shing, and party decorations. Servant quarters and extra. closets are also included.

Two new houses are under constructio n, one for New York r and one for Indiana E. These include

all the latest ideas for chapte r houses and will give chapters housing second to n one on their cam· puses. A l arge addition is being built to th e Oklahoma B house wh i ch will change th e p resen t structure into a bea utiful and commodious house o n their fine pres· ent l oca t io n ac ross from t he campus. T he W yoming A cor po ratio n is remodeli ng their house so that chap· ter will come back in th e fall to an en la rged an d moderni zed home. Th e Texas B corporat ion has plans un der w ay (o r a large n ew h o u se o n the SM U campus which they hope to h ave completed by Feb rua r y. The h ope for a n ew h ouse o n th e lots purchased three years ago may be r ea li zed for Idah o A du ring the n ex t year or tw o. North Dakota A is considering r emode ling plans.

An apartment in a Panhellenic Hou se has been r ea l ized by Fl o rid a A Fl orida B is planning for an addition in which th ey ca n serv e meals. Th e rooms used by Alabama A havo been redeco rated. Ala bama B and Wash ing ton r, two n e w chapte rs, are planning to form h ouse corporations and are working o n buil d ing funds. Connecticut A will have an a partment in a new residence hall o n th e campus and is a ccum ul ati ng a fund for furni shi ngs

Th is enumeration o f hous ing proj ects gives so me idea o f the reason for the la rge amount of co rr espo ndence of the Counselor. In all cases p la ns ( o r raising house (unds from actives an d a lumna: w ere suggested to an d adopted b y chapters and corporation s. Budgets were p lann ed so tha t indebtedness co uld be amo rti zed. Rul es ( o r Fra ternity lo ans were explained. When n o h o use corporation existed, h e lp was given in sett ing one up. These and numerous other things were discussed in correspond e n ce

TThe usual fall lette r was sent to all house corporations and in J anuary anothe r l etter with the blanks (or the annual report went to all corporat ion treasurers. As the reports were r eturned, a Jetter (ommmting on each r eport was written to the treas· urer concerned. With this went a r eceip t for the fee for the t reasurer 's $2,000 bond.

As costs for r epai rs, improvements, furni shings, and taxes have gone up, th e amount of rent the chapter pays to th e co r po ration has been increased n ecessarily in many places. New tax appraisals are adding to h eavy tax es in some places. 10 a fe w states fraternity h o uses are still exempt. The counselor wat ches ca ref ull y to see that the income of eac h co rp oration covers the expenditures a nd advises that th e income s ho uld be l arge e n ough to (over a reg ular amou nt placed in a depreciation fund, thu s building up a (und (or th e tim e when a n e w h o use or a big remode lin g project is This year Oklahoma B had su ch a a great he lp in financing the r emodehng which Will make a practically n ew house.

In Janu ary o f th is year the A ssistant National Hi sto ri a n sent to all active chap te r historians a conden sed lette r o f instruction, emphasizing dead· lin es and outlining bas ic requirements.

In accordance with Grand Council's request that an histo ri ca l paper be prepared for clubs and chapters to u se as prog ram material, an account of the conven· ti on of 1888 was written and mimeographed copies we re sc nt out in the fall to each club and chapter president.

Thi s year much time has been devoted to refilin g of the contents of the archives. Hun d reds o f worn folders have been r emoved. Much miscellaneous rna · te rial has been destroyed. Over four hundred new folders with typed labels have been added. Th e task has not yet been co mpleted.

An extensive exhibit was prepared for display at conven tion. In addition 10 items shown at the previou s convention, more than a d ozen convention group photographs were mounted o n mat boa rd and covered with a cetate sherting for display. T o new posters contain ed photographs and excerpts from the letters of Emma Harper Turn er Photographs of the Founders were sho wn in a new a lbum. The archives collection of jewelry was augmented with items lent by Lillian Kendig Rogers of Iowa A.

To W . H. H. Pialt, the author of a history of th e University of Kansas , the Histo rian lent a fully identifi ed photograph of the Kansas A chapter o f Pi Beta Phi in fo r inclu sion in his book.

The jewelry collection is far from complete The hi sto rian most earnestly desires to obtain: All types of guards, a co lonization pin, a platinum arrow, a diamond-in the-c hain arrow, and one of the elongated angular arrows, us ually set with emeralds, which were worn in the '90s.

During the month s of Janu ary and February the Hi sto rian was asked to spea.lc. o n the subiect of fraternity hi story before the Kansa s City, Missou ri, Alumna! Club, the Kansas City, Kansas, Alumnz Clu b, and the Kansas City, Mi ssou ri , Mothe r's Club of the University of Kansas. It was a pleasure to meet with these groups.

One of the most delightful experiences of th e year came with the invitation to attend the Michigan State

D ay luncheon in honor of the Founders. Th e Hi s· toria n will not soon forget the many fine Mi chigan Pi Ph is who have long shown su ch deep appreciation for the fraternity a nd for its h istory The dinner with Mi ch igan I' chapter was a high point of the visit.

Th e visits of Mr s. Alford in M arch and of M iss Onk en in Apri l were a source of pleasu re and in · spi ration to t he Hi storian and ( 0 a ll Kansas City Pi Phi s.

"If

I Were a Freshman Again"

If I were go ing to co ll ege nex t year, I wou ld aim for:

1. A leller ill alblelia- Because play is an esse n tia l part of life . Athl etic co ntestssome of them-are play at it s best for a norm al, healthy man.

2. A grade average 0/ " B"-G rade "C" or " 0" usually mea ns shoddy work and that's bad hab it. "A" for me would requi re a g rind and neg lect of life-w hi ch I re fu se. " B" is all th at's left.

3. Time for Jome real frielldJbipJ, both 1ne11 and lVomen - Life's chief valu e fina ll y is friends. Th ese four yea rs must no t be friendless or h u rr ied ly , superficia ll y "f ri endly ."

4. Some real piece oj JerI/ice on t he (ampu s or in t he comllllll1ily-- A g reat growing selfis h life-"There ai n 't no suc h animal."

5. To do weIJ what I do- I t's a slow co ll ege that ha s less than fi fty extra·curricular activi ti es on the campus. Well, about forty ·six of these I wou ld let the other fellow run and I would " saw wood " on the few that seemed to me of the most value.

Would I date and "Say It With Flow ers?" Sure, but I wouldn't talk myse lf hoarse saying it.

Would I jo in a fraternity if I had a chance' By all means, for through the med ium of th e fraternity I would be able more easily to attain th ose other things for which I would atm.

Settlement School Reports

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

IN VIJ.GINIA lives a wood-c.arver whose output runs heavily to bears. He CArves them swiftly and unerringl,. from Jmost any sort of wood. Each one has • reourkably individual bearishness. "I don't see how you can do it SO easily," said one as she watched his qui ck knife. "Well, ma'am," explained the wood<an'er, " J just look .t a little bl ock of wood 'ti l I 5tt the b'ar; then I cut away the wood, and thar's the b'ar!"

Perhaps that is wha t happened in Pi Beta Phi , They just kept lookio' and whittlin' and all at once, there was a siz&hle b'ar, the Settlement School, carved out of the Smoky Mountains of T enn essee for aJi to set and admire.

It is true that the original site-selection committee did not altogether hue in mind a beautiful setting foc our school , as that was not the primary purpose, but it would have had to seek far to find a lovelier one. It is colorful from eatly spring until the frosts bring the fall foliage into full colors. Last month the Committee received great inspiration for its meeting from the hill s where the new young forest greens were combined with the iridescent whiteness of the dogwoods and here and there a wild flaming azalea for contrast.

Because primarily the fraternity plan was for a project in T which embraced the three Rs. perhaps it is wise to start with a res ume of our educational program. From ou r beginnin gs in 1912 with one t eacher and one schoo l room to benefit the thirteen pupils, the program expanded year by year with other grades being added as the enrollment increased. In the twenties not only was a grade schoo l building erected but an extension plan had been inaugurated at Sugarlands, now a part of the Smoky Mountain National Park.

With the start of the thirties the schoo l had grown into ten grades with an enrollment of one hundred seventy. The co unty then paid the salary of four teache rs . A new building was erected for th e use of the high schoo l grades and 19 36 found us with a complete high school curriculum, thus offering our young full educational opportunities through the twelfth year. In the late thirties and early forties, two surveys of our program were made. Both recom· mended that we turn over to the County the costs of maintaining the schoo l as fast as the County could assume that burden and by 1943 the comm unity and the fraternity convinced the County that it cou ld assume the costs of basic education and offer to Gat · linburg as much as it gave the other schools of th e County. A sntisfacto ry Lease Agreement was dr3.wn up between the fraternity and the County to Cover a period of twenty-five years. Since then, from time to time, we have added supplementary courses-Physical Education, Mu sic, and Arts and Crafts to increase the physical well-being o f the young people and to expand their natural skills.

]n 1947 the State School Planning Commission recommended an immediate building program to care for the fast increasing At that time the Grand Council and the Settlement School Committee unanimously agreed to 1.8 acres of Our property to the County and to draw up a Lease-Agreement for a longer period of time. However, the Planning Commission felt that the grade and high schools

should be kept together and be tt«ted on County owned, not leased, property. For two years the County sought to purchase acreage in Gatlinburg, in order to satisfy the Commission but found only inflated purchase pricn. Again the County Board of Education came to pj 'Beta Phi. (For more comp lete details see Informati on Arrows: 1948, Page 94; 1949, Page )9.)

Aft er numerous conferences with the people of the Community and the County Board, ably handled by Miss Onken, and with legal advice, the Council and the Committee, for the second time, agreed to deed about two acres to the County and draw up a new Lease-Agreement on a fifty year basis instead of the orifinal twenty-five year plan, but on the same genera terms. This was done and at present writing the first unit of a new g rade school plant is in process of construction It will be ready for the opening of school. This unit accommodates six grades and later a second will be added, at which time Our grade school building will revert to us For the information of those who have visited the Settlement School, the new building stands between OU r grade school and Teachers Cottage and the balance of deeded land lies behind T eachers' Cottage.

lt should not be our desire to relinquish entirely our supervision nor to remove our helping influence. Perhaps our guidance is need ed as n ever before. The mountaineer of pioneer stock is now out numbered by the outsiders who have come to Gatlinburg but his family still need s our aid in preserving this native heritage of staunch ideals, integrity and inte lligence.

This year Mr Walt er Ogle, once a pupil in ou r school, has served as Superintendent and High School principal and has won the respect of both students and corrununit )' . H e is cager to work with Pi Beta Phi and appreciates Miss Dyer's counsel.

Physical Education was taught by William]. Miracle, University of Tennessee graduate. In addition to specia l emphasis on Basketball, he introduced other sports in season and comp let ed each activity with a tournament among the classes. The intramural competition was new and increased general interest in sports for girls and boys. The inauguration of base· ball as a spring sport which could be supported by a small schoo l such as Gatlinburg was well received The cooperation of the Ameri can Legion in loani ng uniforms and their playing field was a great help.

In Music, Mrs Althea Armstrong has continued working with all eight grades and the high school to broaden each pupil's musical appreciation. Ma jor programs were a Stephen Foste r evening; the Christmas presentation of Satis Colema.n's "Mystery of the Nativity" in pantomine and introducing rare carols of many co untries; the pretentious musical, ' The Snow Queen " by Cooke. This l3.tter production at the close of the sc hool yea r used almost one hundred. children's voices and would do credit to a much large r school. The lead was sung by Barbara Steele who with Paul Clabo entertained u s on the Settlement School program in 1948 Variou s sma ller groups and the high schoo l chorus gJ.ve programs before several Jocal and county organizations.

In Arts and Craf!!, creative was stressed in the lower grades through the media of challe, charcoal and paint . Poster making in all grades was rewarded by cash prizes from the American ugion

Auxili ary fo r their ooppy poste r s. The fif t h g rade p rod u ced three orig in a l plays for glove puppets all of whi ch were made by the ch ildren themselves. Cha l k mura ls, soap carving, meta l repo usee and making " tie dye" scarves we re other activities. In th e higher grades some outstandi ng r es ults were evide nt in meta l work, bow l s, ash- trays, ca n d le-ho lders , coasters. W eaving occupied the winter months for the gi rl s, while stenciled lun cheon sets and aprons were outlets for basic designing. The boys found these sub· jeets beneath them but painting had great appeal. M iss V an Rockel and Mr Miracle were co·sponsors of th e J uni o r class a nd M iss Van, as the c hil dre n ca ll h er , dir ec ted thei r class p lay. Her ability to make the backd rops p ut her in specia l demand o n o th er occasions also. It is with extreme regret that we accept M iss V an Rockel's resignation in order for her to conti nu e he r educatio n toward a Ma ste r' s degree at Cranbrook.

Th e Com mittee was great ly impressed with th e progress of the W oodwor kin g class under the super· v ision of Mr Ca rl H uskey, who ha d a part· ti me program for the high sc hool boys. Ea ch made some article for the home--a lamp. coffee tabl e, book ends o r magazine rac k. For those boys not go in g on to co ll ege this course is a pra cti ca l one toward seeking emp loyme nt in o ne of th e severa l furniture factories n ea r-b y.

Th e H ea lth Center is a true center f o r schoo l, community and d istrict or as ou r nurse, M a rj o ri e Chalmers, describes it, "a coope rative, n o t exactly community cooperative, but nation-wide composed of peopl e f rom all wa lks o f life, a ll parts of the co untry, all working for the servi ce of mankind." Under the nur se's l eadershi p, the days are fi ll ed with in oc ul atio ns, first aid, talks o n h ealth, nu trition o r safety. She h as papers to be written and d e livered before Kn oxv ill e Or o ther T enn essee orga ni zat i ons, writes a week ly "H ealth Shot" column for the local paper Through the latt e r medium she is able to pre· scribe ma n y sugared bits o f h ealth admo nit ion.

This yea r the Cou n ty H ea lth D epartment a rr anged for t wenty clinics in which the fi rst grade rs we re give n medical examination now required by T ennessee law. Two of the clini cs were held at our H ealth Ceo· ter, o n e fo r Gatlinburg and the other for the five nearby ru ral schools The two loca l docto rs officiated. H e reafte r, the state-wide clinics will be held in the su mm er in o rde r th at remedia l defects may be co r· ree ted and n ecessa r y inoculations g iven before th e sta rt of school.

Our little babies continue to hold the spotlight and it is i ndeed a matter of pride that not one baby has been lost this past year; one premature was returned to the hospita l i ncubato r fo r a time. In o ur part of Sevier Cou n ty there are but three childre n of schoo l age as yet unable to atte n d. One is a spastic and the others , post polio cases. All reeeive regu l ar instruction from th e State H o mebound teacher. A sma ll six year old boy, totally deaf as the result of an attac k of meningitis has placed in the T ennessee School for th e D eaf. Our constant efforts toward good hfilth for the younge r generation have bome fruit .

V ery successfu l was the day spent in assisting the techni cians who brought their large mobile X ·ray unit from the D ivision of Tuberculosis Control to the H ealth Center wh e re more than seven hund r ed were processed.

W e are very grateful to Sigma P hi Gamma who through their w elfare wor k for mountai n chi ld ren help to prov id e fitted g lasses an d denta l care. This yea r n ine child ren were car ed for. Th ere is a gradua l

T he re is a l ways more to be accomplished a t the H ealth eeOl cr than can be done. be it summer o r wintcr, but the unselfish sen'ice contributed to schoo l and community is felt throughout the countryside and Marjorie is loved by all the children.

It may be that less n eed be writte n about A rr ow Cra ft than any other department si n ce a ll a re so keenly cognizant of i t through the beauty of its wa r es. U n de r Ethe l Snow's capable management Arrow Craft has had an excellent year. We appreciate you r sales because the school cou l d n o t operate without them and we solic it the participation of even the sma ll es t clubs for, in addit ion to the in creased in· co me, it gives us the subsequent fine pub l icity which the products i ndeed merit. Though they were by no mea ns leading in membership, last year fourteen clubs each so ld more than a thousand dollars worth o f goods. Th is yea r th er e are nin e with two of them exceed ing the two thou sa nd dolla r mar k H e re is the l is t: H o u sto n , T exas, $2220.24; Champaign-Urbana, Illin o is, $2 120.98: Po rtland, Orego n, $ 1890.00 ; Albuq u erque, New M exico, $1596.39; Marin Cou n ty, Ca l ifo rn ia, $1398.21; D enver, Co lorado, $1339.15; Clev eland East, Ohio, $1326.73; Pittsbu rgh, Pennsylvania, $1278.63 ; Omaha , Nebraska, $ 12 10.08. Those co ns idered are on l y th ose whose money in these amounts had been r eceived at Arrow Craft by th e time of audit. To them and ma ny othe rs, a h ea rtfe lt " Th:1nk you I"

It wou ld give Arrow Craft fewe r headaches and the Comm itt ee far less the appea r an ce o f ogres if every clu b o r chapter would make comp lete payment in full o r return th e un sold goods for credit after the annual sale. No bu si n ess, la rge o r sma ll , ca n operate without cash and no sho p gives unlimited c red it , does it? With an ever increa si ng nu mbe r of enthusiastic a l um n:r clubs we ask for more sa les but we also ask that each club give more thought to why Pi Beta Phi is conducting its Anow Craft Shop and how much bette r u se there is for the money there than lying id ly in some l oca l bank.

The design and co lors of A rrow C ra ft produ cts continue to g ladden the eye of all w h o see th em. Tina M cM orran has brought to her work a con cep t of th e practical as well as the beautiful. At the suggestion of the Committee, set to work to reduce th e tremendous stock o f raw mate r ials on hand, n ecessarily purchased during wartime sho rt ages, and ingeni ous l y she has cut that inventory; at the same time, n ot knowing what economi c tu rn migh t come, she ha s operated on a great ly redu ced budget, dropping those items l ess in demand and reduci n g the qua n tity of others. Unfortunately this has meant a temporary reduction in the number of weavers but with the p resent furo re of th e chai n stores for woven nylon bags, those re leased have found work elsewhere. This past yea r our insuran ce has been carried o n a monthly inventory basis, a sou nd protection against loss.

One interesting demand this spring is fo r the longer and brighter n eck -tie. This has prompted the weaving o f some tie material in Aunt Lizzie's old three harness twi ll pattern which throws more co lor to th e top, with clearer stro nger colors. Izora, lo ng one of o ur good weave rs, feels great pride in bei ng cho sen to caeey on Aun t Lizzie' s weave and s he will demo nstrate

its ust at Craftsman 's Fair this summer.

Tina has worked toward a M aste r Craftsman a ward this year and received it from the Southern H ighlands Handicrafts Guild at its spring meeting. This is o nly the third given by this Guild and are but twelve in the country. She was asked by the University of Tmnessee to be one of • very limited few to attend its two-week weaving sho rt course this winter and was also honored in asked to teach in the Guild Workshop at the Penland, N.C. School of Crafts last fall.

We must not fail to mention attractive little shop maintained by Arrow Craft in one corner of the Mountai n View Hote l, now presided over by Mrs. mother nnd grandmother of Pi Beta Phis Her love of ou r products, combined with a wide acquaintance among the hote l guests, makes her a worthy proponent of sales. No hour is too early nor too late to accommodate the departing guest in purchase of last minute carry-home gifts.

This year our Grand Vi ce President offered a prize to the Pi Phi submitting a poster suitable for adver· tising sa les of Ar row Craft products. Th e Committee appreciated Mrs , Wild's offer and regretted that n one of the designs submitted seemed exactly to meet the needs at this time, according to the judges from the University of Tennessee Crafts faculty who con· sidered them.

One specia l item of int eres t ere we leave the Arrow Craft de partment : The Dir ector of Cultural Affa ir s for the Stale Department in Washington D .C. has co ntacted Pi Beta Phi often in the la st few years si nce foreign visitors and students wish to take ba ck th e profitable use of nativ e materials to their own countries. The State Departm ent has honored Pi Bcta Phi in sending, when possible, both me n and women fro m foreign cou ntr ies to visit the Settlement School. The most rece nt occasion was the Prime-Minister and his wife, the Begum Ali·Kahn of Pakistan. She spo ke fluent English and he ld two degrees from the Uni · versity of her nalive land The Begum was most anxiow to learn of our industries in order to further assist the wom en of her country in the establishment of th e ir Cottage In dustries. 1t would seem, therefore, that our to people has gone afar and we a re honored that th e State Department so highly classifies ou r Settlement School.

Earlier in this report we mentioned the surveys which had been made of our project in Gatlinburg as they app lied to the educational program. These surveys pla ced great emphasis on the opportunity Pi Beta Phi had in the SoutMCO Highlands for the furthering of the native crafts and since that tim e an effort has been made to that end. This summer is the sixth for ou r Summer Workshop. It has passed its "trial and period and in the op inion of the present sta ff , the 19 50 organization is runninJ! mo re smoothly th an any year. It has been a matte r of mutual satisfaction to the University of Tenn essee and to Pi Beta Phi to work toget her for the success of this annual si x week proj ect. Mi ss M aria n G. H eard, Profes so r of Craft Design at the Uni versity. again se rves as Dir ecto r but the whole staff of the Applied Arts Department uni tes in lending its own or helping to find the best pos· sible in struction. We are eternally grateful to Mi ss Jessie W Harris, Pi Beta Phi Convention initiate in 1938, of H ome Economics Department at the University, for her constant inspiration, wise help in planning, and h er expert belief in the Settlement School program. Fo r the first three weeks of the six weeks' Workshop there are sta tes represen ted by fifty-four students. Thirty -one are graduate

studeou, seven llCe undergraduates and enrolled as non<redit pupils. Twenty-nine of these will remain for the full six-week period. Until such time as larger housing facilities are available, further expansion is impossible. Miss Dyer and he r corps of workers completely transform our grade school building into a donnitory. It is an hercul ean task with less than two weeks the closing of schoo l and the opening of the Workshop. Every vacant cranny is made availa ble to those in attendance.

The G :Heway Players, a stock company of New York, will again transform our gymnasium.auditorium into a theater for su weeks , paying rent to us and providing excellent casts in good plays as entertainment for summer visitors. Pi Beta Phi r eserves Friday night for the P .T .A. for a m oney-making plan . The P T A has done a magnificent piece of wo rk in raising money for its school cafeteria where a ll the schoo l year, two paid coo ks, the assisting mothers in turn , with the aid of government surpluses provide hot , well-balanced schoo l lunches. It provided new basketball uniforms fo r the girls' team and in various o ther ways has assisted the school program.

The Craftsman's Fair will make its third appearance on the Pi Beta Phi campus in lat e Jul y and again Governor Browning will officiate at the opening. H ere will demo nstrated the makings of many handicrafts of that area and the native folk dances. Also th ere will be a great exhibit and sale of the best under each Pi Beta Phi throu g h its memberShip in the Southern Highland s H andicrafts Guild sha res the re sponsibility in stag ing this undertaking One's pride increases, knowing the part the fraternity has played in the renaissance of these native crafts. At this Convention we hope to bring a widened vision of what th e Crafts are in the Southern Appala chians and what the preservation of this early Ameri ca na means to that area.

La st but by no means leas t in the year round pic· ture is the reg ular staff which keeps the Comm ittee po li cies in operation. Miss Ruth Dyer in her six years as Directo r has found no consistent pattern fo r eac h day brings new activities and n ew problems. There have been seven dormitory students tbi s year, five of whom just graduated, so we shall have room for new mate r ia l in September. Each boy or gi rl enters th e dormitory on l y after a clea r un dersta ndi ng with the parents that their boy o r girl is to work a certain number of hours in part payment for r oom and board. This, together with our financ.ial assistance in running a bus to distant Elkmont for students, is important Extension service.

A number of yea rs ago the auditors for the Settlem ent School advi sed, as for any good business, that cer tain amounts be set aside each yea r for depreciation. Since then all committees have budgeted toward a Sinki ng Fund to cover this. The present committee at it s re cent meeting ca me to an important decision after studyi ng the contents of this Sinking Fund, taking into account the $17,000, final generous bequest from the Garshwiler estate, and th e prospects in contributions and continued Arrow Craft sales, that now is the time to erect a new Staff House. Several reasons co ntro lled the decision to proceed. Part of our staff has been domiciled in Pollard Hall which was o ri gina lly the o ld Ogle family farmhouse. It also houses the dormitory boys and the dining rooms and kit chen for all If Pollard is much longer used, ex· tens ive repairs wi ll be necessary, fo r termites and ol d age take their toll ; should more boys come to schoo l and need housing, space must be found. If the Summer Workshop is ever to expand, additional hous-

ing must be provided. That is the big bottle-neck to progress si nce a ll applicants prefer to live right at the School. La st year the University o f T enness ee co uld have sec ur ed us government barrac ks for tion costs but the Committee co nsidered thi s poor economy as it w ou l d have been on ly a tempo rary a tr angemen t. In addition, the pro ble m of feeding the sta ff s and students of the W orksho p i s m ost difficult in our lcitchen fo r it is no t prope rly arranged fo r Institutio n Ma nagemen t. We also feel that more com· fortable surroundings fo r our regul a r staff will mean g reate r efficien cy and strengthened moral e. So with co urage and faith that the best interes ts of th e School will be serv ed, we plan to sta rt a n ew building this com ing year. It is our ho pe that alumn:r clubs and chapt ers will be interested in co ntributing direct to the cost o f a room or i ts furnishings, thus to hon or an outs tanding membe r . We so li ci t your interest and aid, as always.

The fraternity is grateful fo r the way in whi ch conuibuti o ns have come in Three-fourths of the active chapter con u ibu tio ns, going as they do into the Endowment Fund each yea r, help to spell security against unforesee n emergencies. The balance, together with all other contributions, gove rns the amount whi ch th e Committee can bud ge t annually for the maintenance of the School. Top-mo st ho nors go to th e St. Louis Alumnr Club with its on e thousa nd do llar d onation: it has maintain ed this record, or bett er , fo r a number of years; Philad elp hia has sent $5 00; Cleveland East and Ka nsa s City, Mo , $300 each; Milwaukee, Wis ., $225; Lafayette, Ind iana , $203.51 ; India napo lis and Denver, $ 200 each. Th e chapt ers leading in contributions were Missouri B; Nebraska D; in third positi on, Ohio A and Texas A; whil e Fl o rida D, Illin ois 8 -.6. , Illinois e, Col o rado A, Kansas B, and Loui siana A tied for fo urth place. Twenty nin e clubs gave one hun d red do ll ars or ma re It wa s interesting to discove r that twenty chapters and fo rtythree clubs in cr eased th e amount of th eir donations ove r 1948·49 and th e contribution s of fifty-four chapters and one hundred twenty-five clubs equalled those of las t year. The chap ters of Beta, Delta, Eta , Iota, Ka ppa, and Lambda provinces were one hundred percen t as were the clubs of Alpha East, Beta, Delta , Zeta, Iota, Lambda, and Mu. Right here let us say that it is o nly ethical and right that money raised thro ugh a benefit in th e n ame of th e Pi Beta Phi Settl ement School should a ll go to that project Thank you all!

The gifts re ceived fr o m clubs, chapters and individua ls brought both joy and comfort to the School. The many boxes of toys, books, fruit and ca ndy at Christmas time made possib le indi vidual gifts to each child in ou r grade schoo l and fo r those of the truee o ut -lying rural schools as well ; a special room gift of lovely boo k or game for each grade room; special athletic equipment ; cl othi ng for many of the needy . At the hospita l laye ttes made so thoughtfully by some clu bs had special use as do t he additions to th e loaning cl ose t. This latter always has need fo r more cotton blankets, s heets, bed jackets o r ni gh t-gow n s, which o ur nur se is thankful to loan in case of si c kness or emergencies.

Sigma Phi Gamma, national businns organization , through i ts Southern M ountai n Workers division contributed $'50 this yrar toward eye and dental care, and three of their chapters so i.nterested they too sent their separate donations toward o ur health program

Many Pi Beta Phi s and others, too, have fou nd expression o f a loving thought throu g h our Memo rial

Fund. This was particularly true this year when ou r Gra n d Vice Presid ent and her husband suffered the tragic loss of th ei r son Leonard. The M e morial Fund contributions are being used at the H ea lth Center th is year but the donor ma y specify a particul a r use, if she desires. A gift to this fund direct, or the gift of a particular book to the School Library are two lovely ways fo r an expression of sympathy.

The final settlement of the es ta te left in part to the Settlement Sc hoo l by Dr William P Garshwiler in memory of his wi fe, an Ind iana B, has been completed and we are indeed a ppreciativ e of this Joving generosity.

We are very pleased to have the amount of $8,943.41 whi ch the Magazine Agency has sent us . Mrs Alfo rd says, "Pi Phis can' t rea d!" but ho w we do like for them to Iceep o n trying ! We also have do ne many things with the returns from the Pi Phi best-se ller, the Cook B ook, first produ ce d by the Los Ange les club some fifteen yeus ago. The Pi Phi girl graduating into a career or to become a summer bride continu es to offe r a fine field fo r their co ntinued sa les.

One hears a remuk now and then that we are finished in Gatlinburg For the frat e rnity to be without the Settlem ent School would be like Arrow Craft existing without its trademark Do we wi sh to abando n an unde rtaking dedicated long ago as a li vi ng memo ri al to our Founders , which has paid thro ug h honor to them but not alone to them? Every men's and wo men 's fraternity gives us tremen dous acclaim for o ur fo resight in establishing a philanthropy dedicated to un se lfi sh .ser vjce. We pi o neered in th is no w almost comp lete trend among National Panhelleni c groups. The president of a la rge alumna: club said on a r ecent visit to Gatlinburg that we should not ta lk of giving prestig e to Gatlinburg beca u se of havin g a sc hoo l there but instead that every club and chapter receives tremen do us publicity and prestige by virtue of the e stablishment and continued ope ration of the Settlem ent School.

What would happen if we withdrew our Health program? There would be only the loca l doctors, with days already crowded, to care for the schoo l inspections, in ocu latio ns and to give advice to the mothers of young babies and the pre-school ers o r th e parents of the sch oo l children. The advi ce given so frequently in the commun ity, the trem end o us prog ra m of disease preventi o n and sanitation, all these would go with the loss of the Health Center and ou r nurse

What would happen to the School if we withdrew, and to the Community whi ch has depended upon Pi Beta Phi for so lo ng ? The schoo l wou ld not yet be accredited witho ut o ur supplementary Mlp in Music, Crafts , Woodwo rking and Physical Education. The community groups, P T A , election boards , churches, all make use of the schoo l buildings as centers of activity while Stuart Cottage and Helm ick House are open on many occasions fo r teas or gathering pla ces for vario us town gro ups and schoo ) clubs. Old Tim ers' Da y is still hel d upon our grounds and we wonder where some o f the people who lean u pon us would be, should we depart. An insurance man not lo ng ago walked down the village stred and as he passed first o ne bo tel o r another tourist court-and then another-remarked to his companion, "We own this one, we o wn that," o n down the street. And still the local people, intrigued by what appear to be quick mo ney-making schemes continue to buil d for the tourist trade There wjJJ come a saturation point, one da y, and we trus t these businesses may be paid off e re that time Get off Highway 7 1 and there are

more tangible ;vidences of need for our help Dor do the people hesitate to ask of Pi Dna Phi. We hope to help them bridge other adjustments if they come.

An excerpt from a Dote received by Miss Onken from M iss Anne Guthrie, Pi Beta Phi , world lecturer and traveler, whose delightfu l program pJttSed so many at the last Convention, is worth quoting here ]t was written this spring after a week's vacation stay in Gatlinburg. "What an inter esting of worle: we have been responsible for! And to realize its effect on the community makes one very proud."

Just onc last whi spered word on this subject ! When one hears that we are finished in Gatlinburg, think again! In ad diti on to believing that there are still things to be done there, bear in mind that Pi Beta Phi is a "Not for Profit" organization and that an educational purpose in Gatlinburg has merit. We should n ot Jose our classifi ca tion .

Arrow Craft alone cannot be reli ed upon to support the needs of the School because econ omic conditions are too un certain and the demand for handwoven articles, beautiful and inexpensive as they are, may not continue at the present high level. T ime was when the contributions to the Schoo l were taking care o f the development of Arrow Craft.

The load of the chairman has been greatly lightened by the happy associa tion s and comp let e cooperation of the Committee members this past year. Each has had her particular assignment and ea ch h as f o llowed through with who le-hea r ted endeavor. At the beginning of the year, Grace Grang er , Indiana 4, of Indianapolis found it necessary to resign and h er place was taken by Ethel Gillesrie Smith, Indiana A, of Atlanta , Ga. At the time 0 the Chairman 's fall visit to Gatlinburg, Mrs. Smith came to th e Settlement Sch oo l for a few days and also was able to attend the conferences on the 1950 Summer Workshop held at the University, excellent mean s of orientation for th,e year's work . H er assignment has been the

TCounty School and library and this rear she will have the Secretaryship added to her duties. You have kn own our Publicity member, Harriet Goodsell Rau ch, through the fine "News of little Pigeon" in the AP.,Rowand here at Co nvention as the New York City Club delegate. H e r responsibility is to give a tr ue picture of the School to the rea de rs of the ARRow and to lend all possible assistan ce to chapte rs and clubs with their publicity about the Settlement School. Only words of praise, well deserved. sho uld be given the Treasurer of the Commi ttee; Olivia Smith M oo re, Missouri A, of Texarkana, Texas has c1ari£ed the budget making for the committee and has kept tra ck of the rise or dec line in funds r eceivable in meticulous fashio n. This month we lose by tenure, Eugenia Brooks Smith, Indiana r, Salem, Oregon, who has handled the routing of the Settlement School film, kept an over-all eye on the Crafts, and this past yea r served as Secretary. Her latest contribution was the planning of the n ew film which you shall see here and which will be available for distribution in th e fall. No assignment was ever too difficult and the Fraternity loses a valuable person from the Committee. We welcome Nellis Hempel Gibson, Penn sy lvania A, of Baltimore, Mary la nd , who will take over the responsibility of the film and the supervi sion of the department of Arts and Crafts.

The Settlement School Committee is deeply grateful for the ass istance of Grand Council , especially Amy B. Onken who was chosen th e contact member from the Council, and for all th e diligent efforts of the alumnz clubs and chapters whose benefits and Mrow Craft sales made possible a practi cal working budget and future planning in Gatlinburg. We feel ri chly rewarded by serving Pi Beta Phi tbtough the Settlement School and humbly ask that all of you thi s privilege with us.

ALKING, or writing to Pi Phis is one of the most important phases of the job that I have f or the Fraternity. As Director of the Settlement School project it is my to review with you, in this report, the aWn events of the past year. Life in the Smokies is a busy one as the various seaso ns follow each other. The pauern of our days is more or less a repeat design with ever changing variations, due to new personalities and interests.

CommuniJ]

In this rapidly growing area, each year brings changes and improvement s Some of the most far reaching ones of th e past year are the completion of a city water system, the installation of traffi c lights at two busy intersect..ions and the work on two roa ds leadi ng into the village. A second power line is being constructed which should provide th e town with adequate electric service when it is comp leted Building went on all winter so that spring found many new tourist courts and motels ready for business. A new pictwe theater was opened in May The Meth odist Church was completed and work started on a small Episcopal Church . Th e Riverside Hotel was enlarged and on the Greystone Hotel grounds a special building, ca lled the Gatlinburg Pl ayhouse, was constructed. Thi s has filled a long felt need by providing a pla ce

SETTLEME NT SCHOOL

for lectures, Convention gatherings and Community affairs.

Of most intere st to Pi Phis, is the new grade school bui lding that Sevier County is constructing on the plot of ground deeded to them by the Fraternity. This will have six class room s, two toilet r ooms, a small stora$e room, and a boiler room with a heating plant suffiCIently large to take care of this building and future units as they can be buil t. The Contract was for $79,000.00 and it is hoped to have the building ready for use thi s coming fall.

Each year the vill age Library Board sponso rs a com munity party in February, to rai se funds for the library which is entirely dependent upon donations for its operation. Thi s event netted $61S.00. The books have been moved from a r oom above the bus station to a small cottage on the River Road The Gard en Club has underta ken the landsca ping of the g round s around the building and the Girl Scouts are mowing the lawn.

Community Union chu rch services were hel d at Thanksgiving time in the Baptist church and an Easter sunri se service was held on th e Greystone lawn The Garden Club agai n sponso red the Community Christmas tree, a pine that grows in our li ttle park across from the Arrow Craft Shop. Other annual events of the ho li da y season were the beautiful candl e

lighting service held in the M ethodis t Church on Christmas Eve and a party for all of the community children given by the American Legion Auxiliary. An awakened interest in the welfare of our young people has been evidenced. Scouting for both boys and girls has been actively revived under adequate l eadership. Thir tee n boys attended the Int ernationa l Jamboree at Valley Forge under the leadership of Mr William Cron, Head o f the Bureau of Roads. The churches sponsored an Easter egg hunt on the Whittle lawn that was enjoyed by many small children.

Ever increasing numbers of towi sts, coming to t he Smokies, have caused the town to maintain a Tourist Bureau and to r eorgani ze the Chamber of Commerce with a full time secretary in charge. During the winter a ca ravan of cars from Gatlinburg tou red Fl o ri da advertising the tourist attractions and handicrafts of the regio n. La st summer for six weeks the Fraternity again re nted the High School Auditorium to the Gateway Stock Compan7 of New York City. They presented a number 0 Broadway plays in a very creditable manner. The second Craftsman's Fair, held o n our green, was a great success.

Pi Beta Phi and the village lost a valuable friend in the death of Mr Andy Huff, owner of the M ountain View Hote l olft"

When Esther Mines married la st July, we were fortun ate in having another Pi Phi, Nancy Holmes, Illino is Zeta, Class of 1949, join the staff as Ass istant Directo r. She has been a great help, especially in taking ca re of the Workshop corre spo ndence and reports. In addition to her work at the schoo l she has served as the Chairman of the Ad visory Board for Tennessee Gamma.

S('hoo/

A backward l ook over the past school year brings a feeling of satisfaction. Sevier County, Pi Beta Phi and the P.T.A. combined to provide a well rounded program for over five hundred children attending the school. Nineteen full time and one part time teacher ca rried on the educational program. In high schoo l we had four new teachers. These were, Mr. Walter Ogle, Principal; Mr. Granville Shields, Science; Dorothy Arnold who had attended ou r Summer Workshop, Hom e Economics, and Mr W. ). Mira cle who was hired by the Fraternity to superv ise the work in Physical Educatio n In the Elementary School we had no changes in the teach ing staff. It was necessary to have two r ooms in which there were two grades each. One was a first and second combination and the other a third and fourt h grouping. The faculty worked together very harmoniously. In October the schoo l fami ly, the faculty and their families enjoyed a picnic in the mountains. In January we had a fa culty party in the nature of an o ld fashi o ned "pounding" for the coach and his bride at Stuart Cottage.

The usual plays were given. The Juniors presented a melodrama, "Only an Orphan Girl ," the Senior play was "Brother Goose"" and the eighth grade their year by giving " Billie 's Aunt Jane. " The annual Hall oween Carnival was enjoyed by the entire school as was the lovely Christmas program. Room parties were held in the diffe rent grade school rooms to observe special days. Films were used more frequently than in the past years, as a part of the School program. Twenty -one members of the Senior Class with faculty chaperones went to Washington, D .C. for their trip. Thi s class sponsored a sma ll school annual called "The M ountaineer," which was dedicated to Mr. and

Mrs. J. B. Johnson, former Pi Phi employees of the staff. The parting gift from the class to the school was two typewriters which they hope will form the nucl eus of a Commercial Department for the schoo l. Nancy H olmes, A ssistant Director, was sponsor for the Beta Club. She a ccompanied severa l of the dub members to the slate convention in Nashville. The Am eri· can Legion Auxiliary entertained the high schoo l basketball teams at a very lovely formal banquet at the New Gatlinburg Inn Th e same hotel was the setti ng for annual Junior Senior banquet. After the Christmas holidays, the County operated a second bus for Gatlinburg. This helped very much in shortcni ng the day for numb ers of bus riding pupils.

pj Phi Conlributions

A backward l ook brings out the many extras enjoyed by the child ren attending our school which they could no t have were it not for Frat ernity help. Mrs Althea Arm st rong for Music, Mr Miracl e for Physica l Education, Miss Van Roekel and Mr. Huskey for Arts and Crafts and Wood-work, added much to the program. Several years of training in part si nging is showing up when public appearances of the students are made. The caro ls, making up most of the Christmas program, the Stephen Foster songs and Glee Club n umbe rs given at Community and Commencement events were all very well do ne The annual Operetta, ''The Snow Queen," was one of the most tuneful and colorfu l that I have seen. The Art s and Crafts teacher, Fay Van Roekel, contributed much to the program. The beautiful back drops, done mostly on her knees , on strips of brown paper, for the Junior play were used again at the Christmas program and fo r the Operetta. H er fifth grade class designed and made puppets and wrote the script for an original show, as one of their art projects. The seventh grade mad e murals for the background of the Stephen Foste r program. Fay gave a talk on Art at a County T eachers meeting and another one to a Y.W.c.A. Youth' group at Alcoa. She served as a Graduate A ssistant at the Summer W orkshop and in Augu st studied weaving at the Guild Workshop at Penland. H e r high school girls produ ced some very nice weaving in their class work. Mr. Carl Huskey directed the boys in the wood shop . Some very credita ble pieces of furniture were turned out by the class. While our boys and girls did not do as well as usual in basketball com petiti o ns with outside schoo ls, our coach started a very va luable program of intramural sports within the high school classes that provided entertainment and interest most o f the year. These contests were played off durin't the noon hour and in bad weather were most useful in helping provide an out let for energies that are sometimes hard to control. The sports whi ch were used in this program were basketball, softba ll. volleyball. pingpong, and shuffle board. In the spring a baseball team was organized fo r the first time. The American ugion allowed the use of their athleti c field and they a lso l oaned uniforms for the players. On a beautiful spring day, the whole school held a Field Day whi ch resulted in a victory for the Freshman Class.

P. T. A.

We were fortunate in having a ve ry active and enthusiastic group of parents who also provided "extras" for the school program. Money for this work comes chie By from weekly Bingo games dwing the tourist season in the high school gymnasium and from rummage sa l es. The school lunch room was again operated by this group, providing hot lunches

for the children in the Elementary school. Free lunches are provided for needy children. We share in the Government program and receive many supplies from that source In the fall a book sto l e was sn up for the first week of school. This was a great cODvmience since tMre is n ot a store in town that school supplies o r boob. Fro m their funds. the organizatio n voted to give each teacher a sum of $'0 .00 to be used for supplies. In the high schoo l the teachers pooled their money in order to undertake larger projects. On e of these was the sanding and refinishing of the gymnasium floor. An additional gift of one hun d red dollars wu given for new ba sketball uniforms, one half to the high sc hoo l and the other hair to the grade schoo l learns, ably coac hed by Mr K e ll y Huskey, the eigh th grade teacher. A class in Parliamentary Law, a n old·fashioned Bee and the spo nsori ng of a delightfu l conce rt by a high schoo l chorus from Kn oxvi lle, were o ther activ ities of this gro up

Miss Lena Hodge n , our efficient housekeeper, was agai n in charge of ou r li ving a rr a ngements. We had the us ua I househo ld emerge ncies to meet but were always provided with good meals. Nancy H o lmes wa s in charge of the six high school girls who liv ed in Stuart College. Fi ve of them graduated, having been with us most of th ei r sc hoo l dadS.

The piano at Stuart w as used two days a wetk when a music teacher fr om Pigeon Fo rge gave private lessons to a num ber of schoo l children. It was necessa ry to r ep la ce some curtains this year.

T ina designed them and Lu ra wov e th e m at th e Shop at tim es wh en she was n ot busy with he r r egu lar work. It is interesting to note th a t she has been with t he Sch oo l lo ng enough to weave three se ts of draperies for these same r ooms. The secon d set, taken from Teache rs Cottage, are in use at Po ll ard where sh iny yellow paint n ow makes a mo re cheerful interior. Three stu r dy new ca rd tabl es were pu r chased and have been in a lmos t co nsta nt use at three h o uses.

The hea lth w o rk done by the Frate rnity, und er the able direc tio n o f our nurse, Mrs Mar jorie Chalmers, is in deed a "repeat Design ." Year after year, the inspection s, inoculati o ns, hC1lt h talks with accom panying films, classes in First Ai d and home visits fo r the a l most 700 children in the di stri ct we se rv e, add up to an as to unding tota l. Em e rgenci es from schoo l and community, clinics for well babi es a nd expectant mo thers, fill many bu sy days. Our H ea lth Center was used severa l times for Clini cs during th e year. Twice the Mobile T . B . Unit wa s in town and used th e buil di ng a s hea dq ua rters. Th e first day 718 chest x-rays were g ive n and the second time 497. A new law in T e nn essee states that e very child must be e xamined by • doctor before he ca n enter schoo l and that a reco rd of this examination mu st become a pa rt o f hi s schoo l reco rd. Two such clinics were he ld in D ecembe r when 65 children we re exami ned. Children from the rural area we r e brought to the H ealth Center Twenty mothers came with the rural child r en. The State Depart ment su ppl ies serums but aside fr om that most o f the health work d one in town and in three rur a l schools is taken care of by Pi Beta Phi

An eHo rt has been made to reduce in ve nto ri es, use up o ld stocks of threads and to conce ntrate on patterns that ca n ma ke use of these mat erials. H owever, th ere will be some new accents in the next pri ce li st. W e have added ye llow and g reen, i n paste l shades, to the baby wool en articles we have a lways carried.

The

nurse is always delighted with the boxes of clothing that come to us and especially so with the layettes and baby things. The many boxes of toys and other Christ· mas gifts help to make Christmas memorable for many children. This year we the 148 children in r ura l schools with gifts in addition to IS? gifts to pupils in the three lower grades. Where there is greater need we try to place the really ni ce toys and clothing. Sigma Phi Gamma , I nte rn ational Sorority, continues to suppo rt our health program with gifts of money from their central office and boxes from individual chapters, to whom we are assigned by th eir welfare secretary. Their gifts are used for eye co rree·

tions and new glasses in most cases.

It has been impossible to give you a comp lete pi c· ture of our days at the School. The six weeks Work. shop in Crafts, The Craftsman's Fair and the appearances of the Gateway Stock Company in our Auditorium, make the summers most bu sy and interesting. 1 wish to close by expre ssing my thank s to Our fine Settlement School Committee, the loya l loca l staff and employees and the thousands of Pi Phis over thl" cou ntry who yearly r eme mber the school with lUnd and loving thoughts as well as concrete gifts.

HO LT HO U SE COMMITTEE

IN GIVLNG this last report fo r th e present H o lt House Committee I have a feeling of sadness, as one canno t assume the responsi biliti es of maintaining and supporting H o lt House without acquiring a d eeper appreciation o f our heritage and of the twel ve girls who founded ou r Fraternity.

The increase in the number of active chapters and a lumna! clubs contributing to the H o lt House Fund thi s yea r is evidence of the pri de Pi Phis have in H o lt Ho use.

From these contributio ns minor repai rs have bee n made, and necessa ry new furnishings have been pu r-

We purchased a new refrigerato r a nd (wo electrica l units for the sto\' e--and are in the process o f having the parl o r cu rtai ns duplicated, as the o ld o nes were beyond repai r As soo n as th e materia l ca n be ma tched w e ho pe to hav e th e occas iona l c hairs in the Pin e Room recovered. Many necessa ry rep a irs have been made; s uch as painting of the shutters, stOrm windows, screens, a nd gutters The foundation has been re-pointed both inside and out-and the fl oo rs and baseme nt walls have been r epai red and p ainted.

R EPORT OF THE COMMITTE E ON PUBLICI TY

HE PURPOSE of the Publi ci ty Committ ee for the year has been "more and better publi city for Pi Phis everywhere." It is the chairman's honest opinion that the chapte r and club chairmen have made tremendous strides not only in their publicity but also in their public re lations. It is with a feeling of satis· fa ction of a job well done on the part of the many , many Pi Phi publicity chai rmen that the committee closes the year's activities.

From the beginning the problem to be solved nrst was an organizational one. A card nle with th e name and address of each chapter and club chairm:1O was set up, and this nle fa cilitated personal correspond. ence no end. Five lett ers were sent out during the year, a nd in each one the need for factual organiza· tion was stressed. Use of the manual was parti cu larly emphasized as well as other trade suggestions derived from professional so ur ces.

I n addition to the organizational activities, releases

Twere prepared on Fo unders ' Day , Holt H ouse, Loyalty Day and Settlement School, and were kept on file at Central Offi ce to be disbursed at the request of the chai rm e n. The comm ittee is also deeply grateful to Ruth Bowen, Edmonton, Alberta, for her invaluabl e help in preparing convention publicity, She submitted items for newspaper rel ease which were relayed with a letter to all the chaimen for use in pre-conventi on publicity.

A great many personal requests for specinc publicity problems passed over the chairman's desk. and an attempt was made in each instan ce to solve these problems . No report of this committee would be comp le te without a si ncere and heartfelt vote of thanks to Gladys ScivaJly without whose help we simply couldn ' t have managed.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

. E. MURPHY in "Open Every Door" says, "Life is a corridor with many doors. I am hurrying to open as many as I can before the ultimate o ne is opened. An impo rtant thing to remember is that no matter what strange door we plan to opcR, there are experts to guide us-for free." The scholarship com· mittee has worked faithfully to help each girl open doors and to guide her in her chosen field.

The committee is happy to report that 18 chapters were first on their for the year 1948 -1949, nve more than for the previous year, and the largest numbe r since 1934 except fo r 1942, when 20 chapters were highest. In addition to these 18, there were 25 others in the upper third, making a total of 43 in the upper third; 31 in the middle third; 18 in the lower

third, including 6 in the lowest p lace. Nine other chap ters were first for one term, while two others were lowest fo r one term. Two chapters were unable to obta in comparative averages. Of the 90 reporting , 44 raised their average from Jast yea r, 39 lowered theirs, and 7 remained the same.

Fo r the five years th e present officer has been national chairman, the foll owing chapters have been i n the upper third for the entire time:

Connect icut A Ohio B Ohio Z Missouri r Ill inois Z Nortb Dak ota A

Kansu B Co lorado B

Oklahoma B

Arkansu A

Oregon r

Ok1aboma B is unique in that it has rcceived the scholarship cup given by Panhellenjc fo r the last five cons«utive years Epsilon and Kappa are outstanding fo r no chapter in these two provinces has Mn in the lowest place [or five years. Epsilon, Kappa, and Lambda have in the upper third for four years. The grade average [or all the provinces for the year 1948-49 is 24.29 1, just .'6 1 higher than that of the year 1947 -48.

The Dir«to r of Education of Sigma Chi, Ralph W. Wilson, says , "]t is my personal opinion that any chapter of any fraternity is not jU$lifying its and ill aistence unless it is able t o equal Or eXCffd the all men's average in scholarship," It is interesting to n ote that for the year 1948-49. 43 Pi Phi chapters were above the all -women 's average, 24 below, and 27 were unable to obta in this information. Of the 24 below, nin e were above fo r o ne term. The differen ce between the average of these 24 and that of the all · women varies from .00 1 to 1.44 , the ave rage being .231 be low. Considering this info rmation , we sho u ld add to ou r p resent goal of "Every chapte r in the Third , " "No Chapter i n the Lower Third," this new one, "Every Chapter Above the AII·Women·s A verage:'

The D ecember AJlROW printed a Jist of our 198 honor girls , of whom every Pi Phi is justly proud ]t is regrettable that b«ause of limited spa ce, n ot all the n ames and pictures of the und ercl assmen co uld be included.

As the door is closing for this present year, the chairman wishes to exp ress h er deepes t g ratitude to all th ose who have contributed so willingly to further th e work of higher scholarship-the province s uper · visors, chapter chairmen, Marajane Barksd ale, Gladys Scivally, Lucile Carson, and Mi ss Onken. She has greatly e njoyed the work with the frat ernity and counts it a great privilege to be able to se rve it.

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

HE Soc ial Ex change Committee, whose duty it is to collect and select the best material from all the chapters, has had a busy and profitable year. Even though we were informed that so many chapters were finding the Bulletin most helpful in putting on rush weeks, homecomings and Foun ders' Day celebra· tion s, we discovered to our satisfaction that Pi Phi imagination and ingenuity still produces quantities of new ideas for the Socia l Exchange Bulletin. We won't have to close up shop for years at this rate Newcomers to Qur committee have performed nobly unde r unusual circumstances and the members who have hem serving for several years turned in some beautifu l reports . We heard from 86 chapters, r ece iving informati on on ru shi ng fo r the 1949 seaso n and on Founders' Day for the sprin g of 1949. Twenty-nine chapters received a perfect score for cooperation, n ine chapters failed to send in reports, and twe lve sent in only one of two requi red.

Gamma Province showed as the best in chapters, with five out of eight receiving perfect scores. Eta Province placed highest in quality and originality of her chapter reports.

The wini", (hapu" with the hell all,,,oll,,J reports and (o-o/,"aJio" with the province chairman is WISCONSIN BETA. RunMe'up is Illinois Z.

For ori,i.ali1l in Maln-ial on rushing the Social

Exchange award goes to MA$SACHUSETI'S ALPHA Their skit o n "South Pa cific" was delightfu l and clever ideas on favors and invitations were unusual. H all of Fame sh ows the names of Vermont n , Texas A, Ohio Z, and Iowa B The first three named turned in excellent rush party plans and Iowa Beta rates her place due to the awards she won for ori$inality during the school yea r : the T omahawk (Simpson's highest Homecoming festi vities award) for taking first places in the varsity show, fo r their float, in campus spirit and the window decoration co ntest. Ohio Zeta sent samples of place cards and favors that made us all want to be rushees again so we could have them. In spite of the fact that Ala· bama Beta is such a baby chapter they have not relied completely on other Pi Phis' for all their rush· ing ideas, but have sent in some fine examples of their own to pass on to older chapters. They , too, deserve mention in the Hall of Fame.

For the fine spirit of cooperatioo and friendliness, cou ld with acellent work on re ports, this chairman warmly thanks her committee. To Miss Onken and Gl adys Scivally she always owes a deep appreciation and to the chapter chairmen who compiled their in· formation so beautifully she gives her vote of thanks

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

BECAUSE of her appointment as Epsilon Province President, the Music Committee lost one of its membeu, Marilyn Weigner Btandom, who had served two years. Knowing he r capabi lities, we can only feel that Epsilon Provi nce is very fortunate in havi ng such an enthusiastic a nd qualified lea de r , an d that our loss is very mu ch their gai n T he Committee wishes to thank her for her contributions to our work duri ng her time of membership

A s a new member of the Committee, the Grand President appoi nted D orothe Anderson Lanning, who is well qualified, being a composer herself and very much in teres t ed in the musi ca l activities of the chapten. She has been most cooperative and helpful, and the Committee welcomes her to membership a nd looks fo rward to working with her.

During the past yea r, the Committee has been g ra tifi ed to r eceive many letters fr om the various chapter Song Leaders, with an indication that th ey take their music seriously and are really working to better chapter singing This year particularly there ha ve been a number of chap te rs which have sun g at off-campus

Ioccasions, in town, at hospitals, etc., and severa l have done loca l ra dio worle:. The Committee feels this i s commendable, and hopes that more chapte rs will do this sort of thing , as it inspi res the girls to better singing and to sharing our love ly Pi Phi music, a5 well as furthering the Pi Phi r eputation for good Fraternity music.

With the Convention at hand, the Committee has received many original songs to be entered in the Song Contest, a ll of which show above average ta lent. It wi ll be difficu lt to choose the winners, bu t they will be a real co ntr ibution to the Fraternity repertoire.

Fo r the cooperation of the committee membe rs, the understa nding and he lp of each Grand Council member, a nd the r ewarding associations with Pi Phis, both active and alumnz, we are appreciative.

Th e Committee extends to a ll these Pi Phis and to all chap ters sincer e good wishes.

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

T H S been a pleasure to serve th e Fraternity again this yea r as a Committ ee Ch ai rman.

The letters fr om Grand Counci l members to Provin ce Pres idents and V ice- Presidents, the cards and blanks with chaperon data fr om the Co rresponding Secretaries o f the active chapters keep us in dose touch with fraternity affairs, a nd we realize the co· operation it takes to keep Pi Beta Phi the strong out· sta nding women's fr ate rnity th a t it is.

All cha pters whi ch maintain frat e rnity houses have sent in reports to this committee. We now have sixty-six chaperons, six of who m are membe r s of Pi Beta Phi. Ninet-eeo chaperons are n ew this year and from r eports all of them are the high type of wom en who grace all of Our fra te rnity homes with distinction.

Letters were sent to a ll chaperons noti fyi ng th em of the Training School for H ousemot hers at Purdu e Univ er sity this summ e r and of Grand Council's offer to pay t uiti on for any Pi Beta Phi housemother who wishes to attend the school.

Again this yea r my hat is off to our prompt active chapter correspond ing secretaries, a nd my thanks to the chaperons who have kep t in to uch with me. I also wish to express my si n cere app r eciatio n to Mrs. Carson a nd to Mi ss Scivally who so ab ly assist thi s committee at all tim es and to Mi ss Onken who g ives so ge nerously of her time and enthusiasm, and to all membe rs of Grand Council to whom we may a lways turn for support and cooperation.

EMMA HARPER TURNER MEMORIAL FUND COMMITTEE

'Reme mb'ring, yet, that when n eeds arise Your Arrow asks of you unsti nted meas ure Of love and sacrifi ce fo r a ll Pi Phi s."

YOUR remembering has g ive n pure de light, priceless co urage an d material benefi t to a little group of dearly Javed Pi Phi sister s. To a muc h larger group your remem beri ng has awakened renewed pride an d great satisfa ction as they sha red in Pi Phi's adventure in friend sh ip which is proving that "Pi Phi love is ever thus abiding "

Thi s commi ttee reports that a total of seven teen g ift s of $180 .00 each have been given by you to r emi nd Pi Phi shut-i ns of you r loving and friendly interest, bringing hap piness to them and to those Pi Phi friends who love and admi re th em

There is need for a more gene raJ understanding of the fu nctio ning o f th is four yea r old Pi Phi serv ice in order to use wisely the small fund now available. The committee foresees the desirabi li ty of increasing this fund in order to meet an ever-£tO winz opportunity

to serve. Considering Pi Beta Phi's chap te r expansion program a nd recognizing the rate o f o ur ann ual increase in membership, the law of averages indicates that many, ma n y members will need ou r help and en · couragement.

In the case of n eed we have foun d that thi s gi ftform assista nce ca n be g ive n with the minimum amount of Fraternity responsib ili ty. Since our assist· an ce does n ot invo lve a pled ge to provide income, housing, or physical care, ou r recipients remain eligi· ble for a ll possib le public aid and th e supervisory ca re is left to members of their home community.

As our fund g r ows Pi Beta Phi could make g ifts which would prov ide adeq uate ly for co mplete care of a n eedy member, jf we considered the need urgent a nd justifi ed, but in no sen se would we be embar rassed or overbu rde ned by assumi ng permanent responsibility. We give only as we a re able, with no lega l involvements. This freed om from obligation is one good reason why we recommend to the Fraternity a con tinuance of this Rift ·form assistance

Because a Pi Phi remembered to request a gift for a friend, many beautiful letters of appreciation are recorded as touching tribute to the worth of thi s endeavor to live up to oue cherished ideals. Strong link s in OUf gold en chain of friendship are being

formed through the use of the Emma Harper Turner M emorial Fund.

Thi s comm ittee thanks you for the privilege of serving as your messenger of good will.

ALUMNA3 HOME COMMITTEE

DURING this past fraternity year which is just closi ng, the Alumna! Home Committee and the affiliated su b-committee of forty have put forth their best efforts toward rai sing money for the Home and acquainting all with its purpose. ]0 September, 1949, we mailed Qut to all of our 37,000 alumna! the brochure setting forth the purpose of the Home and asking for fund s for its support. Response to that appeal has been generous and widespread. Though the figures change constantly, we have, at this time, about $27,000 00 in the bank. In addition, several clubs and individuals tell us that they have cas h or bonds earmarked for the H ome, which they will give as soon as actual need for them arises. Also we have promises of gifts of more than $5,000.00 once the Home is actually in operation .

We have not for mulated definite plans for estab· li shing and running the Home. Prese nt day condi. tions change rapidly and it see med useless to make too many plans until more money was available. H ow· ever, the Com mittee has several suggestions and rec· ommendations to make.

We suggest that th e next Committee be chosen as this one was-from one strong club or from a group of well-organized clubs in the same locality. It is of great value to the Committee to be able to m eet often and so metimes on very short notice.

We recommend that the next Committee, with the advice and co-operation of our Pi Phi lawyer, Mr Wheat, be incorporated int o a Boa rd of Trustee s, with all legal rights, duti es and privi leges appertain· ing to such a Board. At thi s point I can do no better than to quote from Mrs. Middleton's recommendation to the 1948 Conventi on :

"The purpose of the corporation is to establi sh and maintain a home for elderly Pi Phis and not for profit: to buy and to hold rea l estate for the use of said ho me and to se ll the same when necessary ; to receive, hold, use and dispose of g ifts, donations and bequests for the benefit of said home and to do all things necessary to establish, maintain and to carry on such a borne." In any event the lawyer's co un sel would be vital.

Details of admission to and administration of the H ome could best be left to this Board.

We suggest that a sma ll hotel or a large home be bought and r emode led, if necessary, rather tha n to build a house, since present construction costs a r e so high and un certain. Pos sibly several sma ller hom es located in various parts of the count.ry would be bette r than one large home

At this time a great deal of attention is being paid to the needs and wants of the o lder members of our population. Rightfully so, since we are co nstantly being reminded of the increa si ngly greater proportion of persons over 65 to the younger people. How .6tting that Pi Phi should recognize this condition and be among the first to help meet it by providing a p leas· ant home, or homes, on the order of clubs, for our membe r s who desire such accommodations! On ce es tablish ed, these homes could be very nearly self· suppo rting. Helping to maintain them could well be a project which our alumna: would und e rtak e with e nthusiasm.

For the plan to succeed it must have plenty of publicity and the enthusiasti c and sincere support of all alumna: and alumna! clubs. There is plenty of in· te res t in the H ome. Our alumna! need only the as· surance that the Home project will be continued to expand that interes t.

In closing, 1 wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the members of the Cleveland Committee who have worked so faithfully. I t has been a closely knit and harmonious group. Also a special tribute of gratitude to the members of the sub-committee of forty Most of them have worked like beavers and to their efforts we owe a great deal of the success of our campaign for funds.

The Committee acknowledges with thanks the help it has r ece ived from Miss Onken and Mrs Wild We also thank Mrs. Alfo rd for always giving us space in the ARROW

CONTACT MEMBER OF SAVE THE CHILDREN FEDERATION

IT 15 most gratifying to report on the generosity of our organization to the chil d ren in the stricken areas of Europe who are need ing oue help This personal contact will mean much more in the years to come than we can realize at this time. Our contact is a link that cannot be forgotten. A recent talk which was given here SttfDS applicable to our worlc. The speaker said, " the best investment toward the begin. ning of new democratic countries is in cultivating fric:odships with the young people Representatives of universities, churches and the press from the States have made gains toward that end. With them, will be the responsibility of carrying on when the occupation ends and we may be sure they will continue,"

Again to Iota Provin ce goes the achievement award in the way of praise. Three chapters, Colorado A. Colorado B, and Utah A have taken full sDOllsorships, and the donations of South Dakota A and Nebraska B have bten combined with the Jota Clubs for a sponsorship. The fo llowing chapte rs and dubs each has ,given full sponsorships: Ontario A, Missouri B, Kansas A. The six chaplers in Zeta Province have one together; Jlli nois Z, Colorado A, Colorado B, Utah A, Texas A, Oklah o ma B , Nevada A, Washington B, Cleveland East and West, Champaign-Urbana, Oak Park -River Forest, Tulsa and Hono lulu. Twelve of seventeen individual organizations who have sponsorships had full sponsorships the previous year. The Tulsa Club is sponsoring an eight year old Indi an child When it is possible, the donations of a province have been used in the name of the province. The instructions in such cases are that aU communications are to be made through the province officers concerned.

Many clubs have been most generous in sending boxes to the children of Europe aod it would give a much truer picture of our generosity and helpfulness if it were possible to include this in the report. Some dubs have sent boxes to their sponsored chi ld twice a year and in these included gifts for other members of the family Some chapters have contributed generou sly through similar organizations in their respective schools.

Save the Children Feden.tion has a full program for the United States and will send out information about those who need this help Some dubs have wanted to sponsor children to our own country, and in each instance this has been taken up with the Federation. This choice seems advisable for some of our clubs and chapters feel greater interest in the needs of their own section of the country

COMMITIEE ON THE DISTRmUTION OF THE ALUMNJE CONVENTION FUND

THE COMM ITTEE appointed by the Grand Treasure r worked out as fair a solution of the distribution of the Alumna: Convention Fund as they were able. There are unavoidabl e inequities and no doubt some mistakes, but with the help of Mle passenger depart. ments of the Burlingto n and Union Pacific Railways to get r ates for us our procedure was as follows:

1. On a blank map of the U.S. and southern Can · ada each Pi Beta Phi Province was outlined and the location of ea ch alumnz club marked. Then this was compared with a sta ndard map and the city in each province considered the "center" was decided upon. We fulfilled to the best of our ability the terms of the motio n adopted at the 1948 Convention that the Alumnz Convention Fund shou ld be so divided that each club 's share would be pro portionate to the first· class r ou nd·trip railway [are [rom the center of the province to Convention , plus hotel accommodations.

2. We procured the round·trip rates [rom these "centers" to Jasper To each o( these we added the minimum hotel a cco mmod ations o( $68.00 This is the basic figure (or each provi nce

3. This bas ic fiAure (o r each province was multi· plied by the number o[ clubs therein aDd the r esults

added, This sum ($44,962,97) represents the mini· mum cost if every club should send a delegate ,

4. The Fund totaled $19,329.12 which is 42.9% of $$44,962.97. Allowing .3% (or expenses and con· tingencies, the allotment to each club was 42.6% of the ba sic figutC [or its province Where a club had not used its 1948 allotment of $68.00 or in the case of newer clubs, $34 ,00, that amount was added to the 19S0 a ll otment. H ono lulu was treated as a sepa· rate province and allotted 42.6% of the minimum cost instead of the amount allotted to other Mu clubs.

ALPHA EAST PROVINCE PRESIDENT

IT 1$ a pleasure to review the many honors an d activities of the members of Alpha East Province. During the year of 1949-)0 the seven chapters placed special emphasis o n scholarship, pledge training, pledge-active relati o nships and extra curricular activities, and a.J a result of their efforts they have made outstanding records on their respective camp uses .

Alpha East Provin ce was privileged to have a Grand Council vi sit or this year. lu cile Douglas Carson nude visits to all of the seven in the fall. Each one of the presidents has written me that the members received great inspiration and help from her visits. In the sp ring, J was pleased to be ahle to visit the chapters and to find that they had carried through with Mrs. Carson's constructive suggestio ns.

The Amy Burnham Onken award for this province went to Jean Ritch ie, of V ermont B. The nominees for this award, from the other chapters, were: Connecticut A. Ora Belle H o ldri dge; Maine A, &rbara Richardson; Ma ssach usetts A, Elaine Boggs; Massachusetts n, Barbara Kingh orn; Vermo nt A, K atherine Pell; Nova Scotia A, Carol Wood. The Portland Alumnz Club award which is given to the outstanding sophomore in the province, was awarded to two sophomores The committee felt that there were two gi rl s who were equally outstanding, so they presented the awa rds to Jane Cook of Vermon t n and to Janet W est of V e rmo nt A The fo ll owing g irl s were recommended by their chapters for this award: Connecticul A, Farrie Mariner; Maine A, Ida M oorehead; Nova Scotia A, Nancy Briggs ; Mas sac hus etts A, Joy Brill ; M assachusetts A, Patricia Read. Since all of these candidates had such fine records of se rvi ce to their colleges and fraternity , the choice was very difficult. Scholarship was supervised by Ada Haggett and the chapters benefited by her capable and enthusiastic help . Numerous methods were used to improve the scholutic standings of the chapters. In some instancn, the chapters divided into teams and fo r high grades. The losing team entertained the winning team with a picnic, dinner, or some kind of party V ermont B held a scholarship meeting at which the members assembled into discussion groups according to subjects and they discussed methods by which they could improve their grades. Individua l members were appointed to tutor those who needed special help .

TNova Scoti. A placed first again on campus and B raised its rank fr om fifth to second place. 1n some cases the chapters missed a high standing btC"ause of • fraction of a point.

In compiling information on rUShing, I find that very few rushees were lost to other: fraternities. There is a feeling .mong the girls that moce emphasis shou ld be placed on knowing the rushee bettcr and in getting to kn o w her better by personal contacts rather than by elaborate entertaining. They tried this plan in some of the chapters and the cleverness and ingenuity shown in planning simple rush parties were most outstanding.

The housing situation in the province is the same as it was last year. Vermont B. Connecticut A and Massach usetts B arc living in houses. These chapters are fonunate in having fine who ue truly int erested in the welfare of the girls. The members o f the remaining chapters live in dormitories and have meeting rooms. At D alhousie University. Nova Scotia A has been fortunate to have a meeting place in th e home o f one of th e members.

All of the chapters have contributed to most of the Frate rnity's projects. The chapters have interested in cha ritab le projects o n their campuses. and have worked at Christmas time to bring the spirit of Chri stmas into the homes of needy famili es.

Each chapter has a competent financia l advisor who has helped chec k the monthly report and helped to make up the budget In each chapter visit. I f ound that the active-alumna: relationship was very strong and that the girls really loo ked to their advisors for advice and help. It was most gratifying to hear the D ea ns of Women speak so highly of the Pi Phis.

The honors which have come to the girls in the provinct", because of their very active participation in co ll ege activities, are many.

I wish to expre5S my appreciation and gratitude to Miss Onken and the other members of Grand Coun cil for their help during this past yea r Their inspiratio n and the fine cooperation of the active members and the alumnr advisory committee members have provided invaluable assistance to me in my work as Presi· dent of Alpha East Province

ALPHA WEST PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HE COLLEGB year of 1949-19}O is rar,idl y draw. ing to an end It has been an event u l year on many campuses, and with many changes. It is ti me to take an inventory now of our progress through this year.

.My visit to each chapter in this province was made in October, 1949 That was earlier than I prefer to due to person.1 reasons, and the planned visits of otner officers. it seemed the best plan this year. The chapter visits ue a great inspiration to me. The contact with the gir ls-

the chaperons, and the university personnel, is most benefi cia.l to me as an officer- and I hope also to th em all.

New Y ork r this year has built and moved into a new home on St. Lauren ce Avenue in Canton It is the first fraternity house to be built on that campus especially for a fraternity. It is a lovely building. well planned and spacious, and everything the chapter has needed and desired for many years. The girls arc very grateful to Grand Council, and to their interested alumnae, fat .U of the help which they have

r eceived o n the planning, and buil d ing of it, an d the financial a rran gements made. Ev ery chapter in this p rovince owns its own house. New Yo rk Delta hopes to be able to build a new house very soo n, as the present o ne which th ey now occupy is most inadeq uate. On e o f the chapte rs is handi capped by an advisory board that is too sma ll , which of cou rse ca nnot be helped. Th e others all have a very satisfa ctory a nd int e rested group of alumn :c, who he lp th em in inn umerab le ways. Th e alumna: club of T o ro nto this year had a very big Bazaar whe re they made eno ugh money to re- decora te the chap ter house, and al so to pay th e mortgage off o n it . New Yo rk Al pha just had another very welcome gift from th e ir alums, a. radio-v ictrola.

Th ere is a quota sys tem o n a ll but o ne of o ur campu ses-no o ne of them is alike, but all restri ct t he number of pledges and upper-class women who ca n be p ledged. All chapters have budgeted for ea ch Pi Beta Phi project. The Amy Burnham Onken Award went this year to Carolyn Reamo n of New Yo rk r . Carolyn has been outsta ndi ng on h er campus in activities, spo rts, schola rship, and leadership Sh e was rece ntly awarded the Danfo rth Gradua te Fe ll owship of twe lve chosen in the U S A for that honor She has been pres ident o f her chapter an d her lea de rshi p and o utsta ndin g personality have wo n her a ff ection and great respect among her co ll ege mates.

I shou ld like to give r ecogniti o n to the excellent

Ichaperons who are in cha rge of the ch apter houses in this provin ce. By thei r interest, diligence. and t hei r loyalty to the girls and ou r fraternity idea ls , they have made a very r ea l place in the hearts of the actives and their officers. Our gratitude and affec· ti o n goes out to eac h of them.

To eac h gi rl who has won r ecog niti o n on her campus in some field of ex tra -cucricul a c ac tiviti es we feel mu st go our thanks and o ur co ngratulati o nsno t o nl y for whi ch she has accomp li shed fo r h e r ch apter, but (or th at whi ch comes to h er National Frat ernity as well, by hee efforts.

Comparative sc hol arship r ati ngs are unavailable at thi s tim e-a lthoug h we know there are no " fir sts" o n campus this year in th is Pr ovince. However, a ll of the chapters are very scholarship con sc io us- and ma king every effort to bring averages up. Many have ins tituted new methods of study to help those girl s und er average.

T o Miss Onken , members of Grand Council, Nationa l Committee chairman, I wis h to ex press my appreciation, and thanks for the assistance, and helpful guidance which have been r ece ived from them this year, also to the vi ce·presiden t o f thi s provin ce and the comm itt ee chairmen who have helped so m:a.terially in th e province work, J tender my g ratitu de and warm affection.

BET A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T HAS been sa id that a respected name helps young peop le o ff to a running start. Thi s is the kind of legacy tha.t the Beta Provin ce chapters wi ll leave to their s uccessors thi s year. Each cha pter has built so mething of whi ch to be proud. Each has fu lfilled her fraternity obligations and ha s done a wonderful job of bringi ng Pi Phi ideals and standa rd s into her way o f living I t was gra ti fyi ng t9 meet with Deans o f Women and hea r their fav o rable comment o n the Pi Phis , and to learn of each chapte r 's willingness to work in comp lete uni son with th e co ll ege Admi ni st ration. Alumna: also praised the ability and t he p li shments o f their respective g rou ps. There existed a n unusually pl easant relatio nship between actives and their advisors. It is, therefo re, with a deep sense of satisfa ctio n and pride tha t I review the highlight s of th is year's work.

Candidates fo r the Am y Burnham Onken Award were very o utsta n ding Pi Phis and a final sel ection was diffi cult to reach. The Province Hon o r was awarded to Janet M o nahan of Ohio B The chapter se lections were: Doris W e llenkamp , Pennsylvania B; Eth e l Pete rso n, Penn sylva nia r ; Jan et Inge rh am, Ohio A; J oyce Bohyer, Ohio 6 ; Mari an n e Chambers, Ohio E; Ann M arsha ll , Ohi o Z; M ary Lou Hart, We st Virginia A

All chapteu were pleased with their new pl edges and the to tal for the provi nce is o ne hundred twentythree. All chapters he ld initiation a nd the re are one hundred new Pi Phi s in the province. Generally speaking rushi ng has been more satis fa ctory this past year because on each camp us the Panhell enic organization has in creased in strength and fo rceful ness Six groups exper ience fall rushing, so many chapters have a spring ·rushing school' to prepare and ed ucate members for this. Ohio E and Ohio A have deferr ed rushing.

Scholarship was und er the Cllpab le supervision of V irginia Hussey. So far this year reports fo r the fir st

semes te r o nl y are ava ila ble, but deci ded impro vement has been mad e throughout the province Five chapters are in the upper third on th eir resp ec tive campu ses. Ohio B and Ohio E rate a nrst p lace; Ohio A, Ohi o Z and Penn sylvania r rank in second place La st fall , the Ohio Z actives a nd pledges each received a scho lars h ip cup fo r a chieving the high es t average fo r 1948-1949 at Miami Uni versity Many individua l Pi Phis are o n the Dean·s list fo r scholast ic achie vement and many are r ecognittd i n departmental honoraries , Th e provin ce boasts o f it s thirt en new Phi Beta Kappa membe r s; Ohio A has establis hed a record with eight, West Virginia with three, Ohi o A a nd Ohi o Z eac h with o ne member.

Three chapters mai ntai n houses in the province, furnished a nd decorated most attra ctively Two ch apters ha ve very lovely apartments, two have a suite in the girls' dormitories, and Ohio A has just reali zed a dream and moved into a new hou se. It has been plann ed idea lly for this g roup and furni sh ed wi th excellent taste Man y busy hours are spent in these dwe ll i ngs, yet many mo r e happy socia l hours are e njoyed. As a visitor on e is a ffected by an atm osph e re of w arm fri e ndlin ess , hos pitality and refi nemen t.

Extracurri cular activities are always a SO urce of prid e to the chapt ers, and impress iv e li sts are reported each yea r . Outstanding work h as been done by individuals and through chapter teamwork.

It was a pri vilege to attrnd Great er West Virginia Week -End at M organtown West Virgi nia A entrrtained the state a lu mna: with a very lovely lun cheon in the chap ter house. Thi s was foll owed by a n int e r· esting o n loca l Panhellenic regulations conttrning rushing A very pleasant time wa, had by tho se in attendance and a friendly interest ren ewed among actives and alumnz. M utual benefits w ou ld be de rived from this occasion if it coul d become tra d itional.

An othe r of the year was a week -

end VISit in April with the prtitioning group .t Davis and Elkins College, Elkins. West Virginia (t was an enjoyable yet educational experience and will pleasantly remembered by all of us who r epresentt'd Beta Province.

And still another highlight of the year was the inspiration received by the chapters thro ugh visits of the Grand Marianne Wild, and the Gra nd Secretary, Lucile Carson. Each group can· sidered it an honor and a privilege to meet th ese natio nal officers and were greatl y bene6ted by their understanding of fraternity procedure.

[0 closing. I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to each chapter for

Ttheir excellent cooperation with me and the fine manner in which each met her Pi Phi responsibilities; to the AJumnz AdviSOry Committee members for their association and guidance to their respective chapters; to the various Province Supervisors fo r their service; to Central Offi ce and all other Standing Committees with whom J worked ; and finally, to the members of Grand Council for tMir un ders tanding and assistance at all times. It was a joy to serve the fraternity and the Beta Provin ce chapters. Such a truly happy experience will be r emembered forever .

GAMMA PROVIN CE PR ESiD ENT

HE PI PH1 year in Gamma Prov in ce sta rted with 3 successfu l conference of chapter presidents and pledge superviso rs. This meeting was held in Wash ington in and was attended by fourt een representatives from the eight chapters. Aside from having a very good time, th e gi rl s ironed out together many details about the year' s wo rk, which h e lped to get them and their chapters off to a good start

All my chapter visits were made during O ctober and early November. At this tim e, 1 was able to go over with each chapter and its officers their plans fo r the many phases of the yea r's activity. This early meeting was most valuable to the .£irls (I hope) and certainly to me. Our planning together came at a time when it co uld be most useful, and 1 have noted with pleasure: the resu lts which have been evident as the year has progressed.

In scho lar ship, Di st ri ct of Columbia A is 1st of 12 groups; North Carolina A, 1st of :5; Maryland B, 2nd of 1:5; Virginia r , 4th of 9 ; Maryl and A, 4th of 6; South Carolina A, 4th of 7; Vi rginia A, 7th of 10; and North Carolina B, lIth of 13 . I can "point with pride · only to the first three . There is not a singl e chapter, however, which is not aware of the importance of scholarship . Their scholarship programs have been well thought out, and the scholarship chairmen have put r eal effort into making them effective.

Rushing was generally successful. The parties showed originality and planning, and the girls enjoyed carryi ng them out. It was particularly interesting to note that the rush sea son at Gouche r resulted in our chapter·s pledging 23 girls though it was

TKn o wn that this was th e la st year fo r fraternities on the campus.

The housi ng situation ha.s been about as before. Maryland B, Virginia r, and North Carolina A Jive in chapter houses M aryland A and Di strict of Columbia A have maintained apartments dose to the campus. Virginia A has its sorority bungalow on the campus , and North Carolina B, its rOom in the Panhellenic H ouse. In the midd le of the year, South Carolina A moved fr o m the house it had been occ up ying into a sorority room and dormitory faciliti es for the girls.

Founders' Day was marked at Maryland A by a banquet with Miss Onken as the honor guest. Maryland B and Di strict of Co lumbia A celebrated together with alumnz in Wa shington. Virginia A and Virginia r were together for the week-end in Lynchburg. North Carolina A was entertained by North Carolina n at Duke ; and South Carolina A had an open house and a formal dance with alumnz.

The winner of the Amy B. Onken award for the provin ce is Adeli ne Andrews, past president of Di stri ct of Columbia A. Other candidates were: M aryland A, Barbara Westman; Maryland n, Lynn Ross· man; Virginia A, Virginia Lee Richardson; Virginia r, Patricia J ones; North Carolina A, Ann Chandler ; North Carolina B, Jane Chivers; and South Carolina A, Barbara Raffi eld.

The work with Gamma Provin ce chapters this year has been a joy. I hope that each chapter will go o n with its progress toward the idea l goal we have f or each of them.

D ELTA PROV INCE PRESID ENT

HE DELTA PROVINCE WORKSHOP was held August 30, 31, September 1 in the Union Building on the campus of Purdue University with the eight chapter presidents, and the pledge supervisors of Indiana B and Michigan r in attendance. Every phase of chapter functi o ning was discussed, and the exchange of ideas and information proved to be most helpful and worth while to all.

During the first semester, the province was han· ored by a visit from Clara H a ll Sipherd, Director of Rushing and Pledge Training. Mrs. Sipherd brought new inspirati o n and enthusiasm to the chap ters an d completely won everyone with her charming personality. We o nly regret that these vi sits by members of Grand Council mu st be so short.

Again this year our emphasi s has been on scholarship and it is most gratifying to report some exce ll ent results Both Michigan Alpha and Indiana Gamma were first on their campuses fo r the fourth consecutive semesters, while In dia na Delta cam e up to second place. The other chapters have good, if not spectacul ar reco rd s, and we are pleased that all are in the upper or middle third . Membership in scho lastic honoraries is as fo llows : Michigan A, 3 members in E t1 A; Michigan B, 1 A A t1; M ichigan r, 1 T owe r Guard and 1 K Indi ana B, 1 n K ; Indiana T,

1 A A.6. and 1 40 K cJl; Indiana A. 1 A A .6. ; Indi a na B. 2 A A 11.

The chapters have been outs tanding in activity par· ti cipa tion . This year has brought about so me changes in housing. Mi chi ga n r moved into a new house in the fa ll and th e gi rl s are extremely happy with the change. The house is attractive in side and out and compa res very favorably with th e o th er h o uses o n th e Mi chiga n St ate ca mpus I ndiana Epsilo n members have been occupying a temporary dwe ll ing thi s year, as well as three annexes, and are looking forward to moving into their new house nex t fa ll. M ic higa n A lives in a house owned by the co llege and In dia na A has a suite of four rooms in the women's dormitor y. These two p laces were completely redeco rat ed last summer and are most attractive. Both M ichigan B and Indiana B acq ui red new furni shings and decorations in their r ec reat io n rooms which have added to th e pleasure of th e girls. All the other houses are in excell ent co ndition and provide com fort a ble and attractive living conditions.

The D e lt a Provi nce Amy Burnham Onken award went this year, to Lou Ann Woelk, Michiga n r, and it was a pleasure to be ab le to present this award in person at the Mi chigan Sta te Founders ' D ay lun cheon The ot her ca n didates for the awa rd were Betty Lin k. Mi chigan A ; J oyce At ch iso n , Mi chigan B ; Annete H avens Edwa rd s, In d iana A; Ph yll is T empleton, I ndiana 8; Alice Robert son, Indiana f; Jan e Barkman , Ind iana .6. and Na ncy Fr ase r, In dia na E. Th e In diana Cup, gi ven each year to the outstanding chapte r in the state, went bac k to In dia na r fo r the second co nsecutive year. ..

The second annual Michigan State Luncheon was held April 15 in the U nio n Building at Mich iga n St ate College and was very well attended Viv ia n l yo n Moo re, form er province president, presided as toastmist ress and presented Mari on Simm o ns, national historian, who gave a n inter es ti ng and in spiring talk on the Foun ders of Pi Beta Phi. Fo ll ow ing the l uncheon, a tea at the chapter house gave th e Mi chiga n r girls an opport un ity to sho w off their new home to the many vi si t in g Pi Phis.

As usual a huge crowd attended the lndiana State Lun cheon held in lnd ianapo li s on A p ril 22. Th e spea ke r was Frances Falvey, Texas A, Dean of Women at J ames Millikin University. Doro thea Flint , Supervisor of Chapter Accou nting, p resented th e gifts to the A BO candidates and the c up to ln diana r Th e province p resident regrets that she cou ld not be present at this event which always is a n outstanding highlight of the yea r, but at th e same time it was a pl easu re to be in Lo uisville that day and be the speaker at the Founders' Day lun ch eon

Interest in th e new chapter house at DePauw was made ev id ent thi s sp ring by so me s ubstantial gifts of money to Indi ana E. The juni o r alumnor group in Indi anapo lis sponsored a concert by the Purdue Glee Club and gave the profit of $100 0 to the chapter. The Southwestern A lumn r Club gave $3:50, In dia na A, $50 a nd I ndiana r, $5 0. Al so the profit from the State Lun ch eon which am o unted to $101 was scnt by , the In dianapolis Alumna! Club.

The chapters are proud to r eport that for the fourth consecutive year they are 100% in their contributions to the Settlement School, H o lt H o use, and Sc holarshi p Fund All the chapt ers enjoyed great success in rus h and have a dded ma ny fine girls to their chapter r o lls . Hill sda le, Franklin, Butl e r and DePauw have rus h during the first semester, whi le the other four campu ses have rush deferred until the seco nd semes te r . Hill sda le College is the only o ne whi ch does not have a qu ota system in effect.

The chapters in th e province have been meeting their r esponsibilities to their campuses, for all th e D eans of Wom en reported most favorably. They especi ally commented on the good cooper a tion which they were r eceiving fr om th e Pi Phi s and on the fact that our chap ters are outstanding in their leadership o n th e campu ses

No report can be comp lete with ou t mentioning the outs'ta ndlOg work being d o ne by the adv iso ry boa r ds in the province. They give much of the ir time and effo rt in helping to further th e progress and development of th e chapte rs and in eve ry in stance, the relatio nship between chapter an d board has been most satisfying. Th e province pres ident is g rateful for th e ir he lp and cooperatio n througho ut the year.

One of the int er es ting experi ences of the year wa s the opportunity to represent Pi Beta Phi at the Be lo il College Panhellenic Workshop o n March 4 I t was a pleas ure to meet the o ther visi ting officers present and particularly to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of th e Wi sconsi n B chapter We feel that such workshops a re valuable and h ope tha t m o re colleges io this pro vi nce will schedu le th em in th e n ea r future.

All cha pter visiting was done during the secon d semester and as a lwavs the chapte rs were delightful hostesses. In sp it e of heavy sched ul es of co nferences, the visits were mos t enjoyable . Th e provi nce president wi shes to express her appreciation to the chapt ers fo r th eir cooperatio n at the time of he r visits and throughout th e year.

To the members of Grand Council who have given thei r help and advi ce we are deeply gratef ul. I t has been a pleasure a nd a privilege to serve the frate rnity as Delta Province President.

Fourteen representatives were present, including seven chapter presidents, five pledge supervisors, One rush captain, and one social chairman.

One of the highlights of Workshop was the evening Mi ssou r i B chapter entertained all of us in their attractive chapter room i n the Women 's bu il di ng on

the ca mpus of Washington Uni versity. M arie Bacon H agee, D irecto r of Extension o n Grand Council was our guest o f h onor.

A dinner and joint meeting with the AJumnr Advisory Board of Mi ssouri n climaxed. our workshop sessions.

In my first yea r as Provi n ce President visits were

the important link brtwee:o a new officer and her chapters Since 1 held a position in the elementary schools of GaJLttin , M iSJOuri, J bad to stagger my visits throughout the yea r, "ther than comp lete thml in one or two u ips.

Very succrss ful rush w«:k.$ were repo rted by a ll the chapters, and a very high initiated Two of them reported their pledges in first place o n their respective campuses fo r the Fall- Winter term.

Zonce begun cannot be stopped. We as a province are jwtly proud o f Missouri B fo r underta.k.ing this project, and the fraternity as a whole sends praise to the chapter fo r their undying interest in this work and the pct5e'Ycrance displayed by the entire group

Severa l chapters in the province have seasonal p rojects of enrcrta.iniog underprivileged children, assisting in civic drives as well as all campus drives and projects. The province is commended o n its service to other fields as well as its o utstanding contributio ns to the Frat e rnity

The nom inations for the Amy Burnham Onken awards were so exceptional it would have been ju st to have made an a ward to each chaptet. H o wever, the awa rd was presented to Betty Stake of M issouri B for her o utsta ndi ng leaders hip, long li st of hon or s, and faithful se rvi ce to the Fratern ity.

Acti vities throughout the prov in ce have been many and va ri ed. M ore emphasis is being placed on a ctivities, service to the campus, and contributions of service to the community as well as the college admin· istrati o n. This year two chapters received letters of p raise and r ecogniti o n fo r services t ha t were outstandi ng.

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ETA PROVINCE began the year with l fin e spirit of comradeship a nd coopen ti o n, resulting f r om the Province Chapte r Presidents' Conference held in Atlanta

The high light of the year was we lcoming Al abama B into the Fnt ern ity and Zeta Provin ce. The colonized grou p at the University of Alabama was insta ll ed by Mi ss Onken in September. The beautiful cerem o nies were witnessed by a large group o f happy Pi Phis from other chapters in the provin ce.

All the chapters contributed 100% to national projects, besides contributing to loca l Red Cross, student funds, and campus o rga nitations. Zeta Province had a full sponsonhi p in the Stifle th e Children Federation. Through the chapters' generosity, we have furnished clothing and additional pl easant living conditi ons to a l it tle Itali an boy.

Through fr ien d lin ess and strong interna l o rganiza·

lion, the chap ters have ma de a name for themselves o n th ei r r espective camp uses Viewing the fa ct that several o f the chapters d o not have chapter houses, strong unity within is a .fine achieve ment

Florida B is making pl a ns to rrmodel the i r chapter ho use nex t year. Th ese plans will inclu de e nl ar gi ng the ho use, and makin g a provision to serve meals Fl o ri da A has a ne w apa rtm ent in the Panh ellenic H ouse whi ch is very attractive.

Rushing has been very s uccess ful in Zeta Provi nce this year From the vari ous pledge classes, we h ave r eceived many new initiates who a re taking their places i n coll ege life We extend hearty congratulations to these girls who have done, and will continue to do, nob le and wo rt hy detds for Pi Beta Phi l t is the new initiates who will mold the future of their ch apte r.

Barbara Jean Mo rg an , Florida B, won the province

Amy Burnham Onken Award this year. The other nominees were: Maude Diseker, Alabama A; Lucy Spain, Alabama B; Lenora Williams, Florida A; Sally McDonald Blake, Florida r; and E lizabeth Neel, Georgia A.

Zeta Provin ce had the honor of Mrs. Prouty' s visit this year, and her charm and inspiration were deeply felt and appreciated by each chapter.

It has been a continuing joy to the Province Presi· dent to know the high regard in which eac h chapter is held by its Dean of Women. To watch the consta nt growth in chapter spi rit and morale everywhere evi· dent, to learn of successful rushing and pledge train· ing in each chapter , and to see the i ncreasing effic iency in chapter administration are but few of the many pleasures this Province President has known.

Many of the chapters have realized first-p lace vi c·

Mtories in scholarship this past year. Having been weak on this issue, each chapter has strived to improve its scho lastic standing. As a result of this, improved scholarship programs have been introduced to the chapters.

Zeta Province Pres ident feels the deepest gratitude for the heartening cooperation given by the chapters in the province. Each chapter has set its goals, and cl imbed toward them in in creas ing harmony.

To Grand Counci l, the personnel of Centra l Office, the National Chairman, and particularly to Miss Onken , T would like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude for th eir constant help; to the Advisory Boards, my gratitude for their loyal cooperation and f ri endship.

Respectfully submitted,

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

y WORK during the past year with the nine chapters of Eta Province has been an enriching expe rience and has given me a deeper and constantly increasi ng pride in Pi Beta P hi. Each chapter has given any suggestion f rom me eager cooperation and all have sincerely tried to achieve the highest standing on their own campuses and in the Fratern ity It is a pleasure to r eport that the year has seen ma rked progress throughout the Province.

The Provin ce Conference was held the latte r part o f August in Evanston. The ben efi ts of this meeting have been reflected in the work of the chapters throu gho ut the year. These benefits have come not o nly fr om the exchange of ideas and methods, but in the close province and national fe e ling which r eo su lted The fifteen gids attending the conference all contributed greatly to its success and did a remarkable job of carrying ba ck to the chapters the feeling of inspiration and close friendship which it gave, as well as the more factual and conCrete material.

Chapter organization has great ly improved during the year, as have chapter spirit and p ledge-active relationships. Scholar ship is the one field in which improvement is not as great as was hoped. H owever, o nl y two chapters have dropped down the scholarship ladder. The others have re mained the same or moved upwards. Illin ois B·ll and Illinois 9 won the scholar· ship trophies a t Knox and Bradley, respectively. for the year 1948-49. At the end of the first semes ter of this year, Illinois It ranked first at Millikin, second place r an kings were held by Illinois A at M o nmouth and Wisconsin A at the University of Wisco nsin , Wi sconsi n B held third place at Beloi t, and Wi sconsin r was in sixth place at Lawrence. Illinois Z ranked in th e first quartile at the University of Illinois and missed first place by .0 1. Semester ratings at Kn ox and Bradley are not available, but Illinois B-.1. and Illinois e have maintained approximately the same averages as last year. Northwestern University does not publish comparative scholarship li sts. but Illin ois E continues to keep its B- average. The foll owing chapters have representation in 4> B K: Wisconsin A-I; Wi sconsi n B-2; Illinois B-.1.-2; and Illinois Zr-2

Rushing was conducted most effective ly by all nin e chapters. Two hundred and twenty-nine girls were pledged during the year. The percentage of girls initiated was not as high this year as last. Twenty-

three girls were initiated in the fall and one hundred and fifty·one in the sp r ing.

The housing pictur e in the provin ce is one of improvement and enlargement. The addit ion to Illin ois H house was started last July and the chapter moved into its beautiful new home the first part of November. Illinois e has plans for an addition to its house and it is hoped that construction will start within the year. The bathroom of the present house was enla rged and r edecoration done downstairs last summer. During the Christmas vacation the program of complete redecoration at Illin ois E was finished an d the results are very lovely. Illin ois Z has a new terrace, the much longed-for driveway, and the dining room has been refurnished du ring the year. The living room of Wi sconsi n B's house has been charmingly red ecorated. The H o use Corpo ration of th ese chapter s have done a marvelous job. The houses are in excellent co ndition , physically and financially. Each of these six chapters is most fortunate in having a char ming and capab le head of house. These fine wom en have contributed greatly to the gracious and welcomi ng atmo sphe re which one finds in th e Pi Phi houses of Eta Provin ce. The other three cha pters in the province do not have houses. Wisco nsi n r and Illin ois A have suites of rooms as meeting places. Illinois B-t!. shares Panhellenic Hou se at Knox with the othe r women's fraternity groups. Wisconsin r ca rried out a redecoration scheme in its rooms whi ch r esulted in a very charming and more spacious effect.

Chapter nomi nees for the Am y BUInham Onken Award were Jan et Williams, Wisconsin A, the province winner; Shirley Fordham , Wiscon si n B; Ann Cox, Wisconsin r; Virginia Haun , Illinois A ; Marjorie Cecil, Illinois B·ll; Patricia Olmstead, Illinoi s E ; Patricia Wallace, Illinois Z; Mollie Bence, JIIi nois H ; and Mary Blair, Illin ois 9. All are fine Pi Phis who have made outstanding contributions to their chapters and co llege.

I am happy to report that the province is 100 % in contributi o ns to the three fraternity p rojects. ]U inois Z and Wisconsin B have sponsored children through Save the Children Federatio n Several chapters have contribu ted to the support of foster children through their Pan hellenic. Each chapter thro ugh the year has had some local philanthropy. These included parties for orphans, Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, and work in hospitals. Illinois Z has

contributed more than one hundred Pi Phi-made toys to the Champaign Probate Court for distribution to children under its care.

Eta Province chapters hold prominent and respected places on their campuses. Every Dean or administration representative with whom I came in contact spoke highly of the girls for their leadership and maintenance of high standards. Each chapter is outstanding in the fie ld of activities. There can be n o do ubt that Eta Provin ce Pi Phis are leading full and worthwhile lives at college. Li sts of the more promincnt honors and activities of each chapter cannot give the true picture of activity participati on in the province for it is impossible to include the fine and constructive work done by those girls who were members and committee workers for the various o rga nizatio ns listed

FThis has been a fine year [or Eta Province. Each chapter has made important strides toward its goal, the BaUour Cup. Each chapter has made constructive plans for next year. I am deeply grateful for the grand cooperation I have received and for the exceUent work of the chapter officers, Advi SOry Committees, and chapter members which has made such a good year possible. My very special thanks to Miss Onken and Gladys Sciva Uy for their constan t and wonderful help . And to all Eta Provin ce Pi Phis, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your fine spirit, friendship, and cooperation. It has been a great privilege to work for the Fraternity, and a real joy to work with you.

Respectful ly submitted,

MARGARET JANE DI CK

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

I LLING in as Theta Province President early in

J anuary after the resignation of Verna L Moss wa s indeed a new sphere of action for me. H owever, I soon learned what a r are privilege being an offi ce r in the fr ate rnity and working closely with the chapters could be. Corresponding with and actually vi siting the girls have been a source of rea l pleasure, and through their fine cooperation I have bee n in close touch with them. I value these contacts highly and do wish to extend my appreciation to them for the help they have given me thi s year.

I t was a real pleasure to visit each of the seven chapters in the Provi nce this wintcr and sp ring All but two are comfortably settled in homes: these two have chap ter rooms.

Scholarship in Theta Provin ce has been a source of pride to most of the chapters. Three chapters ranked first and one seco nd by a very narrow margin, whil e two others slipped below the upper third in rank Th e greatest endeavor in schola rship achievement was a t Minnesota A where a scholarsh ip board made up of representatives from each class in the chapter set up study method schemes and p lans. The entire chapter beca me spontaneous ly enthusiastic over scholarship, and as a resu lt, rai sed its place on the campus from eighth to third! Two pledge classes won the Junior panhellenic grade cup, and Iowa B won first for the seventh consecutive semester.

Rushing was success ful for the most part. However, defe rred rushing made it so difficult on one campus, that no sorority app roached its former quota to any degree. In most chapters the parties have become traditional with decorations and ideas used from year to year. Th e chai rmen h ave been active this spring with committees for fall parties appointed and al · ready working. Pledge supervision has been carefully

Ahandled, and as a result the chapters are enthu siastic about their fine pledge classes and prospective active lead ers

M y co nferences with D eans of Women proved interesting, and in each case reassuring that Pi Beta Phis take the lead in campus honor, responsibilities and leadership. It was a pl easure to meet such charming and interested chap erones on th e various campuses. Also likewi se, the interest displayed by the various alumnr advisory boards was really thrilling, and I fully reali zed the value eac h one was to its chapte r Without their interest, counse l, and enthusiasm, th e chapters would suffer a r ea l loss. The association between alumnr and actives seemed close and sincere also, and gratifyingly, the chapters great ly appreciated this contact.

The two Big Ten schools, Unive rsities of Minn esota and Iowa, both sent Pi Beta Phi s as de legates to the Big T en Conferen ce he ld at the University of Illinoi s. A state wide Pan hellenic conference of the University of I owa was attended by representatives from each of the four Pi Beta Phi chapters in Iowa.

Theta Provi n ce is proud to be 100% in its con tributions to the Fraternity 's three funds: th e Settlement Schoo l, H olt H ouse, and th e Loan Fund. In addition to these Minn esota l A comp lete ly sponsors a Dutch foste r child, and I owa Z supports a war or phan.

Each chapter is actively participating in campus events and is receiving the full sha re of honors and leadership responsibilities.

The untiring efforts and ready willingness of Mi ss Onken to answer my many queries has been greatly app reci ated and I do wish to exp ress my sincere g ratitud e.

Respectful ly submitted,

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

REVIEW of the corr espondence a nd the reports from the eight Chapters in Iota Province has been most pleasant and gratifying, pleasant to hear the success of their plans and aratifying to r ealize their efficiency and strong organization.

The Province President's Workshop was held at the Brown Pal ace in Denver August, 1949. Eight chapter presidents and seven pledge supervisors went ba ck to co llege with a determination to apply the vast amount of information they exchanged.

The whole Provin ce has been proud that One of Ours, Kan sas A, was awarded the BALFOUR CUP for the 19 48 -194 9 Nationa l Award. Kansas A was also awarded the Province Social Excha nge Award. Kansas Beta received Hon orable Mention and 99 % on their Hi story 1918-49. Two Scholarships were awarded to I ota Pi Phis; one Harriet R. Johnstone Scholarship award went to Joanne S. Johns ton, Utah A, and one California A ScholarShip to Shirley King Sikes, Kansas B.

M any new Pi Pbi pledges were r eported after successfu l Rush W eeks, either in the Fa ll o r dur ing th e year. In mo st cases, all quo tas were either filled o r in so me cases increased. All Chapters pa id parti cul a r heed to all Pan he ll eni c Rules.

Th e wo rk ha s go ne on sin ce Chri stmas and a t last they are truly pro ud of th eir very beautifu l house. N e bras ka B, the las t c hapter I vi sited, had no ma jo r impro vemen ts, since las t yea r th ey had completed a com plete rejuvenation . Scho larship has been stressed and emphas ized a ll year. Iota is proud o f Co lorado D being firs t fo r two qu a rte rs this year With a first in Sp ri ng quarter, it will mean three yea rs runnin g as first and th ey ca n kee p the Panhelleni c Cup. We are proud too of Kansas A and Kansas D fo r being 2nd by o nly a fr action of a point. Wyo ming A made a g reat recove ry and they were First Fall Quart er o f ' 49. Kansas D was first this fall se mester and they have 4 Phi Kappa Phis. South Dak ota A has two Phi Beta Kappa s and Colora do Beta has one Phi Beta Kappa.

Besides their contributi o ns to nationa l funds li sted in P V.P. charts, Kan sas Alpha donated to thei r Me· morial T o wer at Kansas University, K ansas D donated to a fu nd to present the co ll ege with a portrait of President Ei senho we r at his Farewell Con vocatio n All chapters assisted with Co mmunity Ches t and Red Cross Dri ves o r ' camp us Dri ves. Nebra ska Betas assisted the Red Cross Disaster Group when they fed and housed about 1:50 victims of a Bash fl ood in un co ln

Several cha pters entertained at fa cu lty teas, dinners o r Su nday nig ht suppers. Only a fine friend ly r ela-

tionship between Pi Phis a nd fa culty co ul d result from th ese affairs . Christmas parties were give n for unde r -privi leged chi ldre n or small chi ldren of local Pi Phis.

Founders' Day was celebra ted in severa l ways. South Dakota Alphas went to Sioux City Iowa to ce lebrate with the alumna! of that ci ty Colorado Alphas and Beta s ha d a gathering in Denver with the alumnz The Lin co ln Alumn:r Club en te rta ined Nebraska D with a coo ky- shi n e. The entire Kan sas A Chapter and two thirds of the Kansa s B Ch apte r went to Kansas City for a banquet honoring Miss Onken Both Wyoming A and Uta h A had joint Club and Chapter meetings or ce lebrations.

Colorado A waited a whole year fo r Mi ss Onken' s visit and fr o m a ll reports it was well w o rth waiti ng for. When Mrs. Prouty represented the Frat e rnity at Utah's Centennia l she paid a visi t to Utah Al p ha In May she officially visited Colorado n Mrs Alfo rd visited Utah A in M a rch. I wou ld like to a dd my tha nks to that of the Chapters visited, to Mi ss Onken, Mrs Prouty and M rs. Alford for their ass istance a nd cou nsel.

The nomi nees fo r the Amy B Onken Award were mos t outstanding and were very pro udly presented Ea ch candidate for the awa rd was an outstanding gir l on her campus and had a fine r eco rd of scho larship. frat e rnity service, personality or activities participation.

The a ctivi ties reports have bem gratifying and besides the BALFOUR CUP, SCHOLARSHIP CUPS, PROVINCE AWARDS AND FIRSTS IN SCHOLARSHIP, there have been many outsta nd ing awards and honors.

To ha ve served as Prov in ce Pr es ide nt , whi ch affo rds contacts with chapters, their cha pe ro nes and alumn:r advisory comm ittees has been a rare privil ege.

KAPPA PROVINCE PR ESIDENT

EACH year at thi s time it is diffi cult. but gratifying. to make a brief written record of Kappa Prov ince for the precedi ng twelve-month pe:r iod.-di ffi cu lt because many of the most exciting accompli shments ar e among the least tangible-gratifying. because the fine reco rds of individua l and chapte r accomplishment in the varied avenues of Pi Beta Phi development continue to demonstrate their clear understanding of frate rnity standards and goals.

The yea r r eally beg :m with a two and a half day Workshop a t Dallas, with two representativt"S of each

of the seven chap te rs in attendance fo r long, but r ewarding, hours of discussion of many phases o f chapter activity. Chapter visiti ng-always a cherished part of the Province privileges and rt"Spo n sibilitie:s--was done in Novembe r and Dettmbe:r This year's contacts with the chapters at vi si t time seemed even more worthwhile than before. pe:rhaps due, in part, to the friendships begun at W o rk sho p time All chapters in the Province were visited in April by the ARROW Ed it o r, and the in spiratio n from her visits did much to bring enthusiastic endeavors to the end

of the year's activities.

In scholarship, the Province "first" honors go again to Oklahoma B, who retained first place on their camp for the fifth y Oklahoma A not ooly held fust place second semester of last year but made the highest aver.ge evu made o n the University of Oklahoma campus. 2,O}8-a record they failed to maintain first this yeM when edged out of first place by a narrow Arkansas AJpha nosed out its close compttitors to g.a..in fint place 00 the campus fust semester this year. Texas A showed the greatest improvement, coming up from e leven t h to fourth place [or last year,

Oklahoma A.. and B ha'Vc both had adjustments to makt in Rudy hall requ i rements and other pledge rcsponsibilities because of school regulations governing the housing of .11 freshmtn in dormitories and their studying tbere, at least during evening hoW's J..ouisi · ana B, too. had to discontinue a study- room in a building 00 campus because of a University plan for dormitory study. Texas B maintaiMd a study hall at the library for study hours the part of the year, and Loui siana A town members studied at the hoU5e during free periods.

Atbnsas' Panhellenic started a new system of se· curing grades of fraternity members through the Dean of Women's office at the end of each quiz. period, a nd held m«1ings monthly of all scholarship chairmen. While not as efficient as desired at first there was enouAh value received that both plans are to be con· tioued another year Following SMU' s First Greek W«k. in which aU fraternities participated , scholar· ship chainneo heJd several meetings.

Chapen mainta..ining houses continued supervised study halls for pledges, where possible, and for ac· tives falling below certain established averages. On the whole a fine acceptance of chapter and indi vidua l responsibility f o r 800d schol a rship was shown, but reo suits in one or two chapters stiU fall short of province goals. The 'Province Scholarship Supervisor, Louise Gribble, has given fine assistance to all chapters and it is hoped efforts will be rewarded by rai sed averages fo r second semester.

Pledge.active relationships have again been stressed-a mo re n ecessary part o f chapter pl a nning for some Provin ce chapten: now that by far the larger number of pledges are not a llowed to live in the houses Arkansas Alpha was again under deferred rwbing, and cannot pledge until tM faU of the sopho· moer year, when their pledges move into the Panhellenic presented an evening program telting of fraternities at the freshman dormitory this year, but aside from this the amount of association betwem freshmen and fraternity members is almost nil. Only upperc!ass pledges can Jive at Oklahoma A and B houses, now; as before, pledges do not live at the Texts A house.

Two chapters this year began systematic programs of inviting one Or two pledges at a time to spend a day at the house, during which special confermces were held with them aad special attmtions shown them. Regular Pi Phi Nights, pledge.active meetings and socia l affairs were increased in Dumber in most chapters with these ofttimes in a dual ca· pacity by programming faculty members as guest speakers, Every chapter entertained the Dean of Women and most increased their faculty-chapttt con· tactJ. Louisiana A held its first Faculty Tea., Arkansas A continued their regular custom in this, and Okla· homa Alpha's tea this year provided opportunity for an informal "sing" by faculty and members. Texas

A broadened their guest nights to include honoring outstandi ng studmts in a wide variety of campus p0sitions, aad .set as a goal the bettering of "public relations" between the chapter and the independent student!:.

Two new house-mothers were welcomed by KapPI Province chapters this yeat; Mrs. G. C. Parker by Oklahoma 8, and Mrs Claude McClellan. mother of two O allu Pi Phi alumnz, by Texas B. Both will retu ro no::t year.

T exas B has spent an exciti ng year, for word was finally given that women's fraternities at SMU might have houses. A University-owned lot has been leased and the campaign for funds begun- now plans are being made and it is hoped building can start before the first of the year. Oklahoma B's house is being extensively remodeled-a new wing added, the old house redone and rem ode led-so that when com· pleted it will have an entirely new aspect and be greatly enlarged. Texas A has completed a fine addi· tion to it!: ho use with enlarged servant facilities, and a g ood.sized play room where members and guest!: can gather for fun o r such work as Hoat decorations. Best of all perhaps the play room and adjOining sleeping porch ace air-conditioned! Arkansas Alpha is hope· fully looki ng to a new well-situated lot as the site of its futwe home,

Oklahoma A rej oiced in the comp letion of its twa. year project of comp lete house·decoration with new bedroom and sleeping p orch furniture and a modern, attractive d ecor throughout the Louisiana A added some new fumitwe and a general red ecorati ng of walls to Aive a "new look" to its bouse, and loui siana B continued to enjoy its room entirely redone only last year.

Several inte rchapter contacts were made during the year, the mos t unusual one being the trip made by chartered bus of forty Texas Betas to provide a cheering·section for the Texas A Pi Phi·Kappa football game. The game, incid entally, appeared as "Game of the on televisi o n!

Texas A provided r oom and board and inc idental expenses for a Displa ced Person, who lived at the house. Taas A and Oklahoma B each gave a fuJI sponsorship of a child through the fraternity Save· the·Children plan; Arkansas Alpha continued help for their French girl through Fostee Parents. Arkansas A, Louisiana B and Texas B gave Christmas parties for orphans or underprivileged children. Every chap. ter con tributed generously to Campus Chest drives and similar worthy loca l causes.

Activities are always high.lighted by the chapter nomi nees for the Amy Bu.rnham Onken awards, and this year those so hoomed included : Paula Reagan, Arlcansas A; Jeannine McGee, Louisiana A; Dolly Sue Viebig. Louisiana D; Sara Jean Landsaw, Okla· homa A; Laverne Bradford, Ok lahoma B; Betty Boll· ma n , Texas A-the Province winner; and Kathleen Minte r, Texas B. Only the most outstanding of other honors are included here as all chapters maintained good representation in honor organizations, and can· tributed to the personnel o f schoo l committees.

My s incere thanks to the g irls in the chapters who ha ve made this report possible, to the fine advisory committee members who have assisted equally effective ly with projects and problems, and to Grand Council whose advice and inspiration were a source of constant help.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

THE CHAPTERS in Lambda Province have made a conscientious effort to emphasize character development and campus citizenship_ The most no ti ceable result of the right relationship of a girl to her (ra[fenity is the interest in all that pertains to her college. By emphasizing scholarship the chapters reflect character development. Prominent positions in campus activities afford the chapters an opportunity to display true citizenship and a fine interpretation of Pi Beta Phi.

The scholastic cating of the chapters is m os t acceptable And proves that the are emphasizing this particular objective. Of the eight chapters in the Province there are three in fi r st position; three in seco nd; one in thi r d; one in fifth and one in eighth.

The average size of the chapters in Lambda Province is forty-eight. There are eighty. live Seniors ; one hundred two Juniors; one hundred twenty Sophomores; and one hundred twenty·one Freshmen. The statistics on class re presentation within the chapters indicate that there is a definite increase in the number of women students entering universities, and the desire to co ntinue through the four years is more evident. Rushing was most successful for all chapters in the Province. The strongest competiti on in rushing was afforded by K K r, K A e, and A r-which evidences the strength within the Pi Phi Chapters.

It would be interesting to n ote the accepta nce of women's frat ernities by college women, since there apoears to be much unfavorable publicity towards fra. ternities, generally The statistics given below refute any statement contrary to the value of fraternity affilia· tion:

Campus No. FraJernities

University of Alberta M o ntana State Uni versity of Idah o University of Washington Washington

WThe percentage affiliated is truly r emarkable when one considers that th e fraternity woman is definitely handicapped by Pan hellenic rules a nd regulations from info r ming any rushee on the real worth of affiliation with a fraternity.

All chapters, with the exception of two, have their own college homes which are owned and maintained by an alumnr building association. Idaho .A, Washing. ton A and Washington B are to have improvem ents made o n their r espect ive chapter houses thi s s ummer . The cost of the seven houses was $299,000, but the present evaluation would be approximately twice thi s amount.

The chapters in lambda Province co ntrib uted 100% to the Harriet Johnstone Scholarship Fund, Settlement School and Holt H ouse.

Joan Mimnaugh, Oregon A, was winner of the Amy B. Onken Award for Umbda Province.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HEN "Know your Fraternity" was chosen as our theme for the year by the delegates to our Chapter President's Conference, it was with a r e<og· nition of the need for better training in fraternity background. Most of our chapters have followed through on a program of education by instituting tours through the archives, studying of national and loca l hi storyI and improved officers' training programs

Our Con erence took place in August at the California Delta house with two representatives from each chapter, even including a representative from the local :E N chapter at San Di ego which was soon to be installed. Second only to Convention in helpfulness, these Conferences are a tremendous spur to chapter officers and Province President as well.

Close on the heels of this Conference came the installation of California E just before the opening of school and the pledging of California Z There is no to go into the program of these events as they have been well reported previously in the Allow. As the second semester opened, California Z at Santa Barbara State College was also installed.

There is a very delinite reali zation within the Province that t:Mre has been over-orga.nization on our

campuses. Deans of Women and ou r Panhellenics are taking measures to protect our chapters from being the victims of too many required meetings and projects. As a consequence, ow members are being wged by their activity chairmen to choose those activities which give members personal satisfaction and which they can pursue for four years with the certain knowl· edge that they are giving worthwhile service to the University.

This past year we have held many high campus offices such as those in AWS, student body offices , etC'. The province has had an abundance of members ill activity honoraries, 9 in Mortar Board and 2 President!" as well as 26 in other senior honoraries, 14 in junior oonotuies and 26 in sophomore honoraries, 6 in Who's Who. In the realm of beauty, almost every chapter has had some type of winner. We have a PiKA Sweetheart at California E, a Sweetheart of Lambda Chi Alpha at California Z, a of Sigma Chi at Arizona , a Homecoming Queen and the Junior Prom Queen at California .:1 and at Nevada a Moonlight Girl of Phi Sigma Kappa who went into th : national final s.

There are 29 members in departmental hono raries.

California .0. was the proud winner of first in the Spring Sing, New Mexi co of the college Stunt Night. Ca lifornia. Z of the Parasol Prance and Nevada with her SODg team was the winner at Mackay Day. Ari· zona has the outstanding Sportswoman of the Year, as well as 2 members of A Club (1000 athletic points.) Califo rnia B had the Secretary of Homecom· ing. Ca lifornia Z was the winner of the Southern California Colle.'te Oratory Contest. California r has the Chief Justice of the Judicial Court and holds the Panhellenic Cup for Scholarship and 6 in our California. State College system are in Cal Club In addition, we are well represented in all class coun ci ls and offices, publi ca tions and sports.

Scholastically. Ca li fornia E is ou r only nrst on campus. California r is thi rd on her campus with a higher average than when she was first for the entire year last year. There is a great deal of anxiety about the problem of scho larship and I feel that with the proper spirit pr eva iling ou r average shou ld be bett er . H owever, fr om past experience, I find that imbuing ou r gir ls with a sense of personal respon si bility is our g r eatest problem. We have 3 Phi Kappa Phis in the Province but since report s are not complete, there may be more.

Wh ile we failed in being 100% in contributions to Our projects because one chapter failed to give to the Scholarship Fun d, I feel sure that this was because of an error. The chapter concerned co ntribu ted twice to Holt H ouse. The second contribution was probably meant for the Scho larship Fun d. Settlement

School received $77.:50 from us, Holt H ouse $72 .:50 and the Scholarship Fund $60.

Our chapter houses are all in excellent condition an d are well kept up. None have made any major ch anges since last yea r We are losin.'t chaperons .t California B, Nevada A., and California r California r was the Balfour Cup nomination from Mu Provi nce this year and the ABO Award was won by Ja ckie Yarborough of California Delta. Other nominees were Sheila )0 McKinney, California E; Dorothy Walker, California r ; Rosemary Stockton, New Me xico A, and Elaine Horton, Nevada A..

While Mu Province has had its very defi nite prob· lems, I truly feel that we have added much to the prestige of the Fraternity Rushing methods are changing for the better and chapters are ddinitely learning the value of alumn:l: assistance. A tendency to accept their adult judgement with more confidence tha n in the past, is apparent almos t everywher e. This is one of the most heartening s igns of strength, for when alumnr and actives ca n work toegther with complete confidence, much will have been achieved.

As this yea r closes, I wish to extend my heartfelt thank s to all those who have helped to make my tasks such pleasant ones, to our splendid Advisors parti cu· larly for their fine work and for their kindness and consideration and to all members of Grand Council for their va lu ed assista nce.

"As for myself, I sh all be everlastingly grateful for my fraternity experience. The boys in the chapter did for me what the professors did not have the time or opportunity to do. Every personal trait was examined a nd checked. I was given first-hand training in the give and take of life I learned to judge and be judged. I was encouraged to engage in one or more activities outside of my regular studies, and at all times and in all ways to exa lt the fair name of my Alma Mater . And above all, I came to realize that the end h ad not come with the termination of my underg radua te days. Ju st as the na tiona l organization had , in seaso n a nd out, worked with my chapter in its day to day problems-scholarship, business management, pe rso nal conduct, livin g co nditions, loyalty to coll ege, and other phases of campus activity-so had its many thousands of alumni stood ready to greet me and h elp me , particularly during those early years when I was seekin g to find my life's work. I spent my undergraduate days at Ohio Wesleyan University-a liberal arts College, having about the same number of fraternities as Amh e rst. I entered co llege with a distinct prejudice against fraternities. Amon g other things, I h ad been led to believe that they e ngaged in a lot of frivolities a nd non sense-to such an extent as to prove positively harmful to ser ious scholastic attainment. But as my freshman days wore on. I discovered the fraternity men were not in th e minority in any phase of student activities. I found also t h at the benefits of small group association were not inconsistent with th e wider contacts and fri ends hip s that flouri sh in no other place so luxuriantly as on the college campus. In additio n, I discovered that the limited brotherhood of chapter life is not inconsistent with universal brotherhood , but inspires one to be ever ready to give freely of himself, not for himself but for all mankind."

These a re concluding paragraphs of an address by William R. Bayes. .:1 9. at a sy mposium on "Fraternities in. Liberal Arts college," at Amherst College, February 22. 19:50.

ALPHA EAST PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

MEMBERSHIP has showed a slight incr ease this yea r and a ll clubs are 100 per cent in support of ou r projects. Several have contributed t o the Home with Po rtl and contributing $90. More clubs have had a pla ce in the budget fo r a Convention de legate so that five clubs will be r epresented at Jasper Park .

Portland found it necessary to award two Sophomore bra ce lets, one to Vermont A and onc to Vermont B. Hartford and New Haven each co ntributed $'0 towa rds (wnishings for the new house into which Connecticut A wiJI move in the fall. A group of alumnr near Bridgeport had a benefit bridge for Connecticut A. Between clubs and chapters in the same city there has been .fine cooperation this vear, and the strong chapte rs give evidence of loyal Ad· visory Board members.

Burlington, New Hav en and Portland contributed to Save the Children so that next year Alpha East will have a "god chi ld " with whom to correspond. A decrease in magazine commissions is disappoint. ing . Thffe clubs did very little and the two in Canada found that the rate of exchange made getting subscriptions for Ameri ca n magazines difficult.

M ontrea l contributed to loca l causes: $100 to the Cerebral Palsy Clini c, $150 to endow a bed at the Children's H ospital, $25 to th e J oint H osp ital Drive.

All the clubs had most impressive Founders' Day dinners and lun cheons It was a real pleasure for me to attend several of them .

The New York Gty club had Mrs . Enteman , who was the French Lick convmtioD initiate, as their gUe5t speaker. Her talk was an inspiration to all of us. Four members of the Poughkeepsie dub joined New York City for their celebration.

The Long Island group which is a part of the New Y ork City dub had a beautiful Founders' Day

dinner; thirty-two present.

The Northern New Jersey Club used the figurines representing the as part of their table decorations. One of their members made these figurines. Two of the members of this club have can· tacted all the Pi Phis in that area and have received $1,000.00 in personal donations [or Pi Phi Alum. nr Home

The contributions to the fraternity as a whole, such as chapter help. club gifts to the Pi Phi Home, Save the Children Federation, and the three national peojhave increaMd about one thousand dollars Arrowcraft sales arc higher. Thirteen clubs gave contributions of money to active chapters to say nothing of personal help and cooperation on the part of th e others.

Many dubs continue to participate in theif loca l phi lanthropies. Panhellenic interest is gaining, with Harrisburg -Carlisle and Philadelphia leading the way in forming City Panhellenic groups.

Philadelphia again holds first place in contr ibuti ons to th e Settlement School, Cleveland East second, and Pittsburgh third.

Chapter Loyalty Day observance has taken several interesting forms, an d as our Golden Arrows are ho nored, we more deeply che rish the la sting bonds of Pi Beta Phi.

Th e province was delighted to have Mariann e Wild our visitor from Grand Coun cil but deep ly regretted th a t illness kept her from completing her trip We

Twere so pleased that Lucile Carson could take her place for some of the visits.

It was a great joy and a keen pleasure to visit all of the clubs of the province during this year. The graciousness with which r was received, the enthusiasm expressed for the work of our fraternity, and the cooperation that foll owed has been deeply appreciated. Only through cooperation and the realization of the privilege of being a Pi Pm can we best serve our fraternity

Sixteen Pi Phis put in writing their realization by signing a petition for a club charter May in Springfield, Ohio. We welcome the Springfield Alumnz Club in the Alumnz Department and wish fo r the members much success and happiness as they renew their fraternity pledge.

To all officers and club members in Beta Province goes my thanks for th e work they have done and for the privilege of working with them.

To Miss Onken, Marianne Wild and the other of Grand Council, the Dir ector of Central Office, as well as National Committee Chairmen, may r express my deepest appreciation and sincere thanks for your inspiration, help and patience throughout the yea r

Mrs. Hubeck read a few of the messages received from the many a l umna: o f Maryland Alpha and because all fraternities will go off Goucher Campus at the close of the school year all of the seventy active chapter members were inducted into membership of th e Baltimore Club. A plan is no w forming to add furthe r to the a l umnz club program for next year in order that the student alumnz members may participate more fully and grow in lc.nowledge of the organization of Pi Beta Phi

Miss Onken spoke inspiringly on the subject of service to the fraternity an d friend ship amo ng the members through the years. Alt hough there was r egret at the loss of Maryland Alpha after {3 years of establishment on campus, there was a deeper determination expressed by those present to go forward through accepting individually the challenge to defe nd and sustain Pi Beta Phi and the fraternity system.

Washington was honored o n Founders' D ay to have Mrs Eli Helmick , one of our pioneer workers for the Settlement School, speak on the subject of " Dreams Come True" 1912-19'0, at a luncheon at Shoreham Hote l which was attended by some 300 Alumnz, Di strict of Columbia A. and M ary land B.

The in creased giving to the fraternity nationa l projects and to active chaplers was the result of 100 per ccnt cooperation of the 19 clubs whi ch qualified Delta Province as 100 per cent. Th er e was a n i ncrease in paid members, affiliated seniors, gifts to Setdement School and Emma Harper Turner Memo rial Fund and a new high in gifts to chapte rs.

E HAPPILY announce a new club at Lexington, Ke ntucky, bringing our number of clubs in the province to an even dozen. Along with this new club most of our gro ups have grown in size, Kansas City having hit a peak of 180 and Nashville having doubled its last yea r's membership. Thi s year the Province V ice- President had the extreme pleasure of visiting all the clubs except the one at Lexington which was chattered just too late to be included in her trip. She came home overwhelmed by their hospitality and inspired by the interest in Pi Phi

All the clubs except ou r brand new one have donated to all three of the projects--the donation totals for each being slightly latger than last year. Chattanoo,e:a was able to triple in donations to each proj-

ec t and Nashville doubled its gift to each one, while Ou r yea r old Blue Ridge Club raised its Settlement School donation fr om $2 to $20. Th e largest donations came from St. Louis which gave $1,000 to the Settlement School and $31:; to the Emma Harper Turner fund.

Arrowcraft sa les were not quite as successfu l this year as last year but the province accounted for some $4,454.97 worth of goods being so ld.

In magazine sa les the provin ce is in second place and two of the clubs, Kansas City and SI. Lows, are among the first eight for the country.

Interes t and pride in the Pi Phi Chapters co ntinues to be strong in the province even those clubs not located near a chapter taking as active a part as

possible in rushing and giving such help 3.5 is needed.

The clubs have tried to Steve their own communities. Louisville m2nned a Cancer Dri\'c Booth. Columbia contributed to an Incubator Fund and to the Red Cross, Ka.nsa.s City is one of the sponsors of the Rehabilitation In sti tute with two members on its board, Nllhvilie gave $500 to the Van derbilt H ospital [or care and treatment of indigent pediatric patients, and St. Louis continues its work for hand iClIpped Girl Sco uts.

Six o f the clubs will be represented at Convention

Zand in addition the Junior group in St. Louis is smding its president to act as the alte rnate delegate from St. Louis. Kn oxvi ll e is proud to be r epresmto:l by Miss Ruth Dyer, director of the Settlement School.

To the club presidents, their hard working officers and interested members goes the credit for the good year the province has just ended To them, to Central Office, and to the members of Grand Council who are ever r eady with a helping hand I am extremely grateful.

ZETA PROVINCE VICE. PRESID ENT

E.TA PROVINCE has had another most successful year. We have two new clubs, chartered in March, which bring our number up to fifteen. They are at Pensacola and the Palm Beaches and they are doing nicely. Our total paid membership is 441, which includes eight seniors. Since the number of r esiden t members re po rted is 860, you can see how much more we are capable of growing. Two clubs are 100 per cent paid membtrship-Lakeland for the tenth consecutive year, and Pensacola. T a llahas see and Ocala miss this 100 per cent record by only two members each. The clubs showing the greatest percentage gai n in membership are St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Jacksonville. The clubs reporting the most new members are Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville

We are almost 100 per cent in our contributions to the alumna! projects. One of the new clubs fai led to contribute, but d id send a generous gift of money to the Pi Phi H ome. Total co ntributions to the t hree projects amount to $304.00, whic h is slightly more than Jast year·s. I n addition, three clubs repor ted donations to the H ome and six to the Save the Children Federation. Intere st in local projects has been excellent, with six clubs contributing money, gifts, or service.

I nterest in and cooperation with chapters has been splendid a n d has take n a very tangible fo rm. The most outstanding piece of work in the province was that done by the Birmingham Club because of its assistance to Alabama Beta This dub raised $800 .00 in a little over a year and had charge of installation arrangements, plus the hard but splendid wo rk of the AdviSOry Board Atlanta, Jackso nville, Orlando and

TTampa also se nt gifts and money.

Tallah assee gave $75.90 to Fl orida B and Atla nta sent $60.00 to Georgia A. Orlando gave lovel y gifts to its seniors at Fl o r ida Gamma, also a scholastic award. The D e Land Club had a housewa rming sho wer fo r florida A's ne w rooms and gave an $18.75 bond. 51. Petersburg, Lakeland, Miami and Jacksonvill e t oge ther sent $70.00 for Florida Alpha 's kitchen Birmingham gave Alabama A $30.00. Other clubs report assista nce in parties and rush ing, and all clubs report a fine relati onship with their actives and th e chapters.

Birmingham Club held a state meeting for Founders' Day to which all kn own actives and alumnz in the state were invited. Tampa, Lakeland, St Peters· burg, Clearwater, and Sarasota Pi Phis celeb rated Loyalty Day together in Tampa. Jacksonville and Miami are promoting a state meeting fo r Florida next year.

My work this yea r has been part icu lar l y enjoyable because of my club visits Everywhere I went I found enthusiastic response and support. The members have a fine spirit of loyalty; they are working hard to further the ideal of service as expressed in our proj· ects; and I fee l sure they have a greater understa n ding of and interest in Our nationa l policies. The greatest problem is still that of membershi p and I know we can do much better o n that if we all work at it. I shall always remembe r with pleasure the many wonde rful Pi Phis I met during my term of office and I thank each of you for what you have given to me.

ETA PROVINCE VICE. PRESIDENT

HE CLUBS of Eta Pro vin ce have had an enjoyable and pr06table year. They have contributed gen· e rously to all the frat e rnity projects , given help to active chapters, held Arrowcraft sa les and Founder s' D ay celebrations.

We ca n report no new dubs but we do have seve ra l large clubs that hold both afternoon and evening meetings. These clubs fee l this interests more members of all age groups.

The membership of the Province shows a s light increase. But in no way do the figures show the spirit behind all the .ffairs o f the clubs. There are still many Pi Phis not members of clubs and this is a challenge to many clubs.

Fifteen clubs held Arrowc raft Sales. Some c1uhs held these sa les with bridge, some style shows, others

teas Some dubs keep a continuous supply of articles to display at each meeting and a lways avai lable at the home of the Sett lement Schoo l Chairman. Champaign.Urbana was 3gain high in gross sales in th e amount of $ 2,860.00; Peoria was second with $1,263 .89.

Save the Childre n Fed eration benefited great ly by the contribution s of the clubs of Eta Provi nce. Two clubs paid for full sponsorships. These are Champaign -Urbana and Oak Park River Forest. Ten clubs contributed $105 .00 malcing anothe r full sponsorship for the Provin ce.

Indiana Epsilon benefited from the g enerosity o( seve ral clubs who sen t gilts of money to help in furni sh ing their n ew home. Nearly every club has a tie with some active chapte r which greatly increases th e

enthusiasm of its members.

Much enthusiasm was manifested in the clubs for the H ome for Pi Beta Phi s and fourteen clubs se nt donations. North Sho r e C l ub was high donor, con· tributing $600.00. Chicago South was second high dono r with $460.00. The total sum donated was '1 ,764.20.

Many clubs p lan swnmer rush parties for girls who plan to enter college this fall.

Aside from contr ib utions to fraternity projects most clubs aid l ocal charities Peoria gave $200.00 to two local homes. Seven clubs contributed to their loca l Red Cross. The total amount was $130.00

The Chicago Area Council he ld a large Found ers'

The M inneapo li s Afternoon Club. g ave the l argest club donation to the H ome for Pi Phis Fun d. I t totaled $200.00. The combi n ed donations to the Save 1be Children I nc. Fund enabled the prov in ce to con tinue its sponsorship f o r the little J talian girl, Laura Grimaldi.

Clubs situated in college town s have been m ost loya l and h e lpful in giving assistance to the active cha p t e rs, both finan Cially and in a n adv i sory capacity. In making o fficial visits at t he time o f Fou nd e rs' D ay observan ces I was deep ly impressed with the har · monious re latio n ship, which existed between active chapters and alumnr groups a.s well as the thought. ful courtesies shown to a visiting officer.

Another observance during the past year is the growing interest and love shown to Our Golden Mrow members thr oughout the province. Many have been beautifully and thoughtfully remembered and honored during the past yea r . We can all take a cer· lai n amount o f inspiration from the intense interest and co ntinued loya lty the members of the O rde r of the Golden Arrow have invested in t he fraternity.

Worthy of mention is the matte r of program building by the clubs in the province. There ha.s been a marked improvement in the types of programs pre·

Ipa red by the different clubs. A veritable panorama passes in review as these programs are enumerated, sty l e shows, t eas, white elephant auctions, square dances an d pot l uck dinners with the husbands pres· e n t, in o rder t hat they too may see and appreciate the wor kings of ou r great fr aternity. One of the most int e resting programs reported was that of t he history of the cooky-shine Riven by Gladys No ll of Iowa City. I t was the res ult of som e painstaking r esea rch o n the part of the leader but from all r epo rt s it was highly successfu l a nd should be preserved because o f its interest and value to the fraternity as a who l e.

We are sorry to report a sli ght decrease in paid membe:rs and hope to be able to o ve rcome this in ou r next yea r' s report. We are also sorry that it was necessary to li s t Theta Province with the provi n ces who have not added a ny n ew clubs this pes t year Suffi ce it to say our two urgent goals for the yea r I wi ll be, (1) a n oticeabl e increase in the n umbe r of paid members and ( 2) the organizing o f at least two new a l umnr clubs i n the province

It is with regret that we find two of our sister clubs in the province having to re·establish themselves after the major catastrophes which came to them at th e tim e of the Red River floods. We wish to extend to them o ur sympathy and understanding at this time of crisis

For the co-opera tion of club officers , for the guid· ance of Grand Council members. and for the ever · widening circl e of Pi Beta Phi friend sh ips we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to bring to a successful close a n other yea r for our great Fra te r. nity

Respectfu lly submitted,

lOT A PROVINC E VICE·PRESIDENT

OTA PROVI NCE has closed a most successfu l year with 100 per cen t rating in contrib utions, and th re clubs, Manhattan, Hutchi n son and Lawren ce, with 100 per cent membership. We are proud to reo port the addition of one new club, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. our 243rd club. Although some of the clubs have decreased in membership, others have made substantial gains, and the province aJ: a whole hu gained in membership. the total being 879.

Almost all of the n ineteen clubs held Arrowcraft sales and reported excellent success, as shown by the amounts o n the chart. Splendid publicity with articles about the Settlement School and pictures of local Pi Phis were greatly responsible for the success of

these sales. Many clubs felt that the socia l part of the teas and th e publicity given to Pi Phi concern ing our philanthropic project would be an invaluable help in rushing this year.

Many of the clubs are continuing their interest in local projects, making Red Cross and Community donations, working on Cancer Fund drives, working with crippled children, Needlework Guild, and supplying food and clothing to the n eedy. Wichita packed a box of toys and clothing to send t o Settlement School at Christmas time. Other clubs sent books to be used in the library.

Although we have had to relinquish our place as first in magazine subscriptions, we are s till proud of

Our record, and hope to repro first place next yeat. We are hapPY' to know that there is an increase in maguine subscriptions, and hope that many clubs "'ill stimulated to surpass the record for this year. The Denver Club has b«n first for several years but it semlS that Dallas and Kansas City have taken the lead.

All of tht clubs show a keen interest in doing their part in rwbing. The Recommendations Committees are doing • splendid work. and wherever possible alumme are ahibiting a keen interest in rushing, offering invaluable assistance. The help given to active chapters seems to be of this nature r at her than specific gifts, although many substantial gifts have been given wherever needed:

We have onc ! ' unior $COUP in the province, a part of the Denver Cub. This group has been an inspiratioo to the senior club, meeting with them foe the four required: meetings and having a member on the Executive Board. They have succeeded in interesting

Kmany of the girls gradwting from co llege, and bridging the gap between actives and alumor. The substantial in membership this yeu was, no doubt, stimulated: by this junior group.

To date 1m cluJ)s have signi6rd their intention to send delegates to Gonvcotion and we arc hoping tOOe may br The clubs fortunate enough to send a delegate will benefit immtasurably fr o m the mthusiasm and inspiration brought back to them I wish it were possible for every club to send a delegate.

It has been a real plea5ure to serve you as Province President these past two years and J wish to thank you all for the cooperation and kindn ess shown to me. I wish to express also my gratitude to Grand Council for their rver· prescot help and inspiration and the prompt, efficient service from the Dir«tor of Central Office

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

APPA PROVINCE has gained three clubs this yeu, those in Midland, Texas, Amarillo, Texas and Lubbock, Texas, which brings the numbO' of active clubs in the province to thirty-four. The total paid membership is 1,417, including seniors Every active dub has paid dues, and clubs range in size from 9 to 164 , with four clubs having paid membership of over one hundred. These are Tulsa , which is the largest with 164 members, Houston with 1H, Oklahoma City with 128, and Dallas with 124. Four small clubs have 100 per cent paid membership, Pauls Valley, McAlester, Midland, and lake Charles.

Twenty-seven of the thirty·four clubs may be classed as 100 per cent, with contributions to the thrtt projects, the Settlement School, H olt House and the Emma H arper Turner Memorial Fund. Four clubs made no contributions, one of these being the club just organized i n Much.

Problems of clubs rangrd from trying to make inactive alwnnz active, raising money (a very common problem of the small collecting dues, poor attendance, finding people who have time to work, almost complete lack of interest except in rushing, getting girls pledged, to the other extreme such as linding homes large enough for meetings, and finding

a place to use the talents of the many new members due to the rapid growth of the club. Many of the clubs on their questionnaires spoke of the wonderful spirit of fellowship and (he complete cooperation of every whi ch is the ideal of every club. and which is really true of many of these clubs.

Visits were made to the dubs in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Midland , H ouston, and Brazos Valley, Texas, Lake Charle5, New Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana, Osceola and Little Rock, Arkansas, an d No rma n , Oklahoma. These visits were most pleasan t, and profitable. The increased knowledge of the fraternity is reflected in the increase i n the number of clubs cont ributing to all projects. We sti ll have n ever achieved the perfect r ecord, which would be for all clubs to contribute to all three projects, but perhaps next year will see this ide al realized.

With the close of another club year. may I thank all club officers and members for their line work and support of all fraternity/rojects, and Grand Council for the help, advice, an inspiration given so freely when needed . It has bern a very successful year for Kappa province.

Respectfully submitted, THERESA GIBSON GRAHAM

LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

I N TEUST, enthusiasm , and accomplishment have run high in Lambda Province this year, due in large part to the fact that, for the second time in history we had the privilege of being hostess to the fraternity at coovention. Jasper and its breath-taking beauty, days of working and playing together, and M ary M ooney with her wonderful committee will not soon be forgotten, and we are so happy to have shared them with you For convention was in truth a Lambda Province success and a ll the dubs had a part in making it so,

All the while they were busy with deco rations and favors, they took time out to enroll the greatest number of paid members we have rver had-877which is 110 more than last yeu's all-time high. Many of the dubs were asked to supply favors, but that did not aHect their giving to Pi Phi projects for we are: 100 per cent as a province, including the club that was organized in Klamath Falls, Oregon in

February. Our Settlement Schoo l gift amounts to Holt H ouse received $136.S0 ($12 more than last year), and the Emma Harper Turner Fund was swellrd by $;tH nearly twice the amount for 1948-49. The largest gift, $'0. came from the Portland Club who thought the fund an excellent way to lend a hand to an indigent Pi Phi.

Thirteen of our twenty ·one clubs held Arrowcraft Sales, grossing a total of approximately $ 10,000, eight Jave to local charitable causes and 7 contribut to the Save-the-Children Federation. Six-tem clubs had official representatives at co nvmtion.

Our record for the past seven years while I have served as Province Vice-President is o ne of cantinwl progress, and because I know you all so well, I am sure that that is the pattern of the future. It is with sincere regret. knowing full well how much I'm going to miss you, that I have decided this should be my last year to serve you. But in an or-

ganization like Pi Beta Phi are so many wbo should be g iven the privilege to share and experien ce the g reat p leasures and advantages that come to any one who thu s serves, [hat it is only fair to you for me to step aside (or onc of them. I can't begin to lell you how very much 1 have Joved working with and for yOll, how much J sha ll cheri sh all the experiences th at have mine as your province officer, nor the extent of m y good wishes for youe future. Your new officer i s ind eed fortunate to " inherit " such a fine

family. and I b o w you will co ntinue to give her the very fine cooperation that you have given me; so don ' t forget that we must contmue (0 work hard , for only o nc 100 per cent club (Wenat chee) is not eno ugh!

For all the help and under standing from Grand Council mem ber s, fo r the efficient servi ce of Cenua l Office and all the committee chairmen, I am deep ly grateful. Very best wishes for each of you always. LOUISE WHEELOCK DOBLER

MU PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

A. s r r ev iew the accomplishments in Mu Province r\.. for 1949- 19'0, I feel a glow of satisfaction fo r not on ly has ou r family grown in numbers, but I feel we have grown in stature. We have added three new alumnr clubs to our roster-Roswell, New M exico, Centinela Valley and So lano County. This brings our to tal to twe nty·eight clubs. All of the clubs, with the exception of Solano County (which was just char· tered) are 100 per cent clubs, having supported the three Nati onal Pr ojects. The tota l paid membe rship in the province is now 1, 393, a gain over last vear of 14' paid members Constitutional requirements were me t by all the clubs.

On e club, H o no lulu, supported a child for one year thro ug h the Save The Children Fede ration. San Franci sco a nd Roswe ll, New Mexico, do nated toward that project. San Jo se again topped the provin ce in magazine sales for the Settlement School a nd rank ed first of all the alumnr clubs in the country for the highest commissions per capita.

Ways and Means projects included square dan ces, dessert-bridge parties, hobby shows, puppet shows , rummage sa les, and th e sponsors hip of plays and pr ograms by pro fes sional entertainers. South Coast keeps

a "pottery Pig " handy; the proceeds are sent to Set tlement School.

Attendance at the meeting of Province officers i n Decatur in June 19 49 was both an education and an inspirati o n to this officer. It was al so my privilege to assist Miss Onken, Mrs. Alford and Mrs Siburg at the installation of California E and California Z; this was an inspiration I shall never forget. Our Grand President's devotion to Pi Beta Phi was transferred to each new initiate. For us "old Pi Phis" it was like being initiated all over again.

Official visits were made to every club in the provin ce, except Fresno. Business was combined with the pleasure of old friends and making n ew friends who wear the accow

Thi s year brings to a close my term as Provin ce Vi ce- Pr esident To all of you- Mi ss Onken, Marianne Wild, Olta Sibu rg, Adele AHord, Gladys Scivally and all 0 the wonderful presidents of Mu 's a lumnr clubs, who have made my term pleasant and success· ful, J am deep l y grateful.
