he origin of Pi Beta Phi's sponsorship process dates back to the early beginnings of the Fraternity. In 1867, a proper introduction was an absolute necessity, and it was the Founders' original idea that selecting new members be like saying, "Here is my friend, I'd like her to be a Pi Phi too." In later year, when Pi Phis began to write letter to chapters about potential members, these women were saying in essence the same, "Here is my friend ... " Along with a more complicated system of rushing, there emerged the need for a more systematic method of sponsorship. Over the years the Fraternity established guidelines to meet that need. For example, forms for recommendations were provided and the method of submitting and handling them was standardized. Alumnae clubs and individual members sponsored, and the chapter selected. Using this process successfully, Pi Beta Phi grew fr om twelve members to more than 170,000. There is a recent trend in the Greek world to shorten, or even eliminate, pledge programs on certain campuses. For this reason, Grand Council il> evaluating the length of the Pi Beta Phi pledge program Shortened programs may require that new members be initiated before college grades are available. High school records alone may be used. If reliance on high school scholastic performance becomes critical in membership selection, sponsorship information from alumnae will take on even greater significance. In today's mobile society, information about potential members will be even more important to Pi Phi chapters than ever before, and experience shows that voluntary Rush Information Forms provide the best and most complete knowledge. Our collegiate chapters want and need to hear from alumnae.
Any Pi Beta Phi alumna is eligible to write a Rush Information Form or RIF, regardless of her age, the length of time she has been out of school, or where she was initi a ted. There is n o limit to the number o f RIFs an alumn a c a n writ e In fa ct, a lumn a e a re e nc o urag ed t o send a RIF fo r ev ery ru hee
who, they feel, meets the Fraternity's membership qualifications - good scholarship, excellent character, congenia l ity, and sympathy with the work of the Fraternity. To be most effective, voluntary RIFs should reach the chapter as early as possible.
When submitting a Rush Information Form, an alumna is to be as specific as possible about a young woman's academic record, activities and interests. Additional comments can help chapter members engage in meaningful conversations with each rushee Thus, alumnae can help chapters make better educated and informed membership decisions and can have a valuable impact on a successfu l ru h for Pi Beta Phi.
All alumnae are cautioned to be very careful to abide by loca l Panhellenic regulation regarding chapter and rushee contact. I t would be unfortunate for a collegiate chapter to be the innocent victim of a rush infraction because of an alumna ' s contact with a rushee.
Membership in Pi Beta Phi is based on sponsorship. However, circumstances sometimes render sponsorship by an alumna impossible . When a RIF is not available, the Chapter Membership Selection Committee (CMSC) is responsible for considering sponsorship for a rushee. Members of this committee are the Chapter President, the three Vice Presidents, the Chapter Trea urer, the Chapter Membership Chairman and two members of the Alumnae Advisory Committee.
We chose to join a sisterhood and, by mutual selection, became members of Pi Beta Phi, a women's organization whose prinCiples are to cultivate sincere friendship, establish the real objects of life, and promote the happiness of humanity.

OF THE A ROVV •••••••••••••••
ymbols surround us and make our everyday lives more simple and easier to live. Carl liungman in his book, Dictionary of symbols writes, "The word symbol is derived from the Greek word symbion . In ancient Greece it was a custom to break a slate of burned clay into several pieces and give each individual in a group one piece as a mark of identification. When, at a later date, they met and fitted the pieces together it confirmed that the persons were the same ones, or representatives of those, who had received the pieces of clay in the first place ."
"The use of the word symbol was widened ... to its eventual meaning, in which an object, either through a visual similarity or a common agreement between those using it, represented something other than itself."
Dr. liz Greene, a psychoanalyst points out the difference between symbols and signs. She says signs merely represent something else. Asymbol, on the other hand, suggests or generates an aspect of life where the number of possible interpretations is infinite and eludes all attempts on the part of the intellect to fix or establish a single meaning . It would seem that the arrow is a very popular
symbol in our society. The arrow is seen on packages of Wrigley's gum, on Parker pens and on the inside collars of Arrow shirts. They are commonly used on traffic signs. In the St. louis business pages alone, there are 38 entries of companies with arrow beginning their title; from Arrow Auto Air Conditioning to Arrow X-ray.
Henry Wadsworth longfellow, the greatest American wr iter of the 19th century, used the arrow as a central theme in one of his best-known poems .
THE ARROW AND THE SONG
Ishot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, Iknew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not followit in its flight.
Ibreathed asonginto the air, It fe ll to earth, Iknewnot where; For whohas sight so keen andstrong, That it can follow the flight of asong?
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
What is the significance of the symbol, the arrow? What are some of its meanings? In the book, Didionary of Symbolism, Han Biedermann writes that arrows are associated with impulse, speed, menace and determination Arrows are often affiliated with the rays of the sun, and of course with hunting . When treaties were agreed upon in China, as among the Native American peoples, arrows were broken to express the renunciation of war.
Bundles of arrows were the heraldic symbol of Queen Isabella Iof Spain . In modern convention the arrow simply indicates direction . The arrow lives on in our day in expressions like "straight as an arrow" and in the names of swift, sleek vehicles (e .g. Silver Arrow).
The arrow is one of the oldest and most common written symbols. The arrow is used in the chemistry sign for iron and in physics to denote the center of gravitation. In the computer world an arrow means exponentialization, multiplying the sum by itself. In technical engineering when combined with a circle representing the sun, arrows imply photo sensitivity. On international nautical charts, arrows are used to indicate tidal stream at high tide. In our environmentally conscious world, arrows are used in the symbol for recycling.
But what significance does the arrow have for Pi Beta Phi? For what reason did the Founders choose it as our symbol and badge?
The July 1898 issue of The ARROW of Pi Beta Phi gives this account of Pi Phi 's founding: "On that very evening of April 28 , 1867, we appointed committees to
draft a constitution and nominate officers, we 'made up some secrets' and decided on our grip which we used faithfully. The subject of our badge roused lively discussion, for we considered that all important. Our pretty little arrow was decided upon at our next meeting as we did not want to come to a conclusion hastily."
"The next meeting was at Maggie Campbell's on May 5. You could never imagine such secrecy. With blinds drawn, in whispered words a constitution was adopted, officers were elected, name and badge decided upon.
"On May 14, 1867, eleven girls, each wearing the golden arrow of I.C Sorosis (in her hair), walked in to the college chapel. The young men cheered, the faculty smiled, and we felt that it was truly an important occasion."
Upon the fiftieth anniversary of the Fraternity, Founder Ada Bruen Grier shared her memories of Pi Phi's beginning and the selection of our symbol. She said, "One of the greatest of the events, to twelve girls, during that college year was the founding ofthe I. C Sorosis, April 28, 1867. Then as now, a first essential of a fraternity was the pin. We had quite an exciting time in choosing a suitable badge. We wanted the most attractive, of course, and we wanted to keep our plans secret. So there were many 'star chamber' assemblings and numerous quiet foregatherings at the jeweler'S. Finally, the' Arrow' was decided upon, as the most desirable for our clan."
Some have even hypothesized that the arrow was directly linked to the name that the Founders chose for their group.
Historical notes by Marian Keck Simmons reveal an interesting story concerning the early pins. It is told by Belle Re Qua leech, a loyal Pi Phi who fiercely resented any assertion that the Greek letters Pi Beta Phi were not always carried as a part of the name. If you have seen the early I.C badge, you will remember that the shaft is raised at the point where it bisects the wings. This left space for only two letters on the wing section. It was not until 1886 that a New York jeweler suggested flattening the shaft to allow for the use of three letters. This was approved at the important convention of 1888, when the name I.C was dropped. Mrs. leech asserts that Pi Beta Phi would have been the official name in the very beginning if a way could have been found to use the three letters on the badge.
The most concrete reason found for why the arrow was chosen appeared in an historical paper of the Fraternity, located in the archives. It reads, "As a badge they adopted a golden arrow, not at first from any special reason except that they thought it pretty. And they thought it must have a chain too though as you know an arrow is scarcely the proper place for a chain, but considering what their club stood for they thought they must have the chain."
And so in May of 1867, a golden arrow was decided upon as the emblem of the society. And though it would appear that its selection was based purely on aesthetics, to each part was given the significance it still bears for Pi Beta Phi and its members.
Each of us can still contemplate and wonder if there weren't other reasons why the arrow was selected. For every good story must have an element of mystery.
Since its beginnings, individual members of Pi Beta Phi have written their own versions of our founding. Afavorite, Founding Song, by Ethel Beecher Allen appeared in the first issue of The ARROW, May 1885. It begins like this:
Wou ld you like to know the story Of the founding of I.C?
Then li sten closely to this song, Of how it come to be While walking in the garden, Before the sun was up, Ama id found Cupid sleeping there, Withi na lily's cup .
Oh, dear I.C
You're all the world to me, Where e'er I be, on land or sea, My heart e'er turns to thee.
She knew 'twos Cupid by the bow And arrow by his side, And as she closed the leaves so white His eyes he opened wide . And quickly then he promised, If she would let him go , An orrow he would give her, Its secrets she should know.

Pi Beta Phi Extends to Fourth I vy League Chapter
Proud traditions united at the University of Pennsylvania when a sorority of "firsts" joined a university of "firsts."
The University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1749 when Benjamin Franklin and 21 leading citizens of Philadelphia founded an "Academy." By 1755, the academy had come to be known as the College, Academy and Charitable School of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania . Alumni of the college include 21 members of the Continental Congress and nine signers of the Declaration of Independence. In 1791, the school became the University of Pennsylvania, the first university in the United States. The first medical school (1765), business school (1881) and law classes (1850) in America were founded at Penn.
Presently located in west Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania moved in 1872 to what was considered a rural spot. Currently approximately 9,400 undergraduate students attend the university, with about 30% of those comprising the Greek population. There are 26 national men's fraternities represented on Penn's campus and eight other National Panhellenic groups. Panhellenic expansion has been popular on the campus recently. Alpha Chi Omega colonized three years ago and there are plans to bring another sorority to campus during the 1994-95 academic year.
The colonizing rush for Pennsylvania Iota was held September
29-0ctober 3, 1992. Interested women who had not already registered the previous semester or over the summer, had the opportunity to do so at Pi Phi's information table on Locust Walk, the main walk through campus. The opening rush party on September 29, as well as the preference party on October 2, were conducted by a national rush team with the help of the Pennsylvania Eta Pi Phis from Lafayette College. Ninety-two women were p ledged during rush.
The fall semester was a busy one for the charter members . Two meetings were held each week; one devoted to fraternity education and pledge class business while the other's focus was on preparing the pledge class to participate in Panhellenic's formal rush in January.

Well
Luckily, for the students and faculty stranded four days at Arrowmont following a 24hour snowstorm March 12-13, the School never lost electrical power. This, despite the fact that nearby hotels and residences were without power for at least several hours. Many Arrowmont employees and area residents went without heat, lights, and water for as long as seven days.
Back at Arrowmont, the job of looking after the Schoo l's stranded guests during the weekend crisis fell to Assistant Director Bill Griffith He received he lp from Arrowmont's resident artists, wh o answered the phones, and from the workstudy students who prepared leftovers for everyone.
At the time, food ,and workers to prepare it, was in short supply in Gatl in bu rg. Dur ing and after the storm, tourists wearing tennis shoes could be see n slogg in g up th e m idd le of main st reet anxious ly look ing for an open restau rant.

In t h e re lative co mfort of Arrowmont's library and dormitories, students and facu lty wrestled not with the cold, but with boredom and impatience.
By Tuesday, a ll classes for the following week's session had begun, only one day late, and classes were extended a day to make up for lost time. Atte n dance was remarkably high under the circumsta n ces.
Ern ie Sc hul tz, who h as worked on Arrowmont's ma in tenance crew since 1970, says this latest storm produced the heaviest snow he's ever seen in the area Trees on campus suffered a great deal of damage. Large Jack pines behind the new dorm were completely uprooted, and sections of nearly every dogwood crashed to the gro und. There was al 0 damage to hemlock and magn o li a trees. Maintenance personnel will be busy cleaning up the debris for weeks.

Dorm Room to Honor Si ster s
In recognition of their generous support of the Campaign for Arrowmont, a room in Arrowmont's new dormitory will be designated to honor Nancy Fawn Wilkerso n Diehl and Jane Wilkerson Yount, both Tennessee Betas.
The Wilkerson sis ters, lo n gtime loya l members of the Nashville Alumnae Club and leading community philanthropists, ha ve a specia l place in their he a rts for Arrowmont and its surrounding area. Nancy Fawn, a former Alumnae Province President, h as been a frequent visitor to Gatlinburg's Littl e Pigeon Alumnae Club and is familiar with Arrowmont's facilities throu gh h e r participation in Fraternity officer workshops h osted by the School. Jane's family ow n s property in the Smoky Mountain region, and she says, "Arrowmont feels lik e a part of our li ves. We oft en visit the wonderful exhibits in the Arrowmont ga ll ery." Husband Thomas is an avid hik er who enjoys the beauty of the Arrowmont setti n g. With an int erest in wood, h e looks forward to being an Arrowmont student.
Nancy Fawn and Jane are sisters of the late Bill Wilkerson for whom Nashville's Bill Wilkerson Hearing and Speech Center is named It was in 1951, when Nancy Fawn and Jane were Pi Beta Phi collegians at Vanderbilt, that Tennessee Beta chapter and alumnae support was instrumental in establishing the Pi Beta Phi Rehabilitation Institute of the Wilkerson Center.
Wood Student s t o Benefit from Dallas Family's Generosity
An individual work station in Arrow mo nt 's pl a nned state-of-the-art Wood Studio will bear the name of the Donald Mauldin Family , in recognition of the Mauldin's generous support of the Arrowmont Campaign and Dr. Mauldin's interest in woodworking Pamela (Sam) Whitelock Mauldin , Texas Beta , and her orthopedic surgeon husband Don , a Phi Delta Theta from Southern Methodist University, are known in hometown Dallas for their creative abilities and shared talents The national Fraternity, the Texas Beta Chapter at SMU and Dall as alumnae long have been recipients of Sam's a rti stic touch, whether it be directed to the beautiful angel design on the Fraternity's Christmas card in 1990 , to backdrops and props for rush skits o r to beautifully executed table centerpieces for special occasions. Through Dr. Mauldin's ingenuity, o rthopedic patients around the world have benefitted from a specia l brace invented by Mauldin in 1980 that replaced the sh ort leg walking cas t Dr. Ma uldin 's time away fr om hi s medi cal practice is limited , but h e h as found speci a l pleasure in working with wood as a n avocation. Thi s led to hi s interest in Arrowmont's plans for a new wood studio.
Th e Mauldins' hi gh sc h ool aged children, daughter Tish and son Ja son, have inherited their parents' natural ab iliti es and interest in the arts . Working with their hands and creative minds is a way of life for the Mauldins and sharing their talents and resources comes modestly and naturally. Arrowmont will welcome the day when the Mauldin family can enjoy time on campus - certainly, Dr. Mauldin at his station in the new wood studio, and Sam, Tish and Jason in any one of the creative an classes.

Since its intro du ction in 1990, the Li n ks to Li te racy se r vice pro je c t h as drawn enthusiastic participation from collegians and alumnae in over 118 chapters and clubs. The project goal is to increase literacy through direct service provided by Fraternity members. Links to Literacy continues the Pi Phi tradition of providing moral, mental and social advancement within the Fraternity and society as a whole.

Indiana Beta Celebrates 100 Years at Indiana University
This spring, two hundred Indiana Beta alumnae from as far away as California, Oregon and Florida joined actives at Indiana Univers ity for their Centennial Ce lebration: A Gathering of Ange ls. Founded in 1893, the chapter has exhib ited a consistent emphasis on values and ideals. Co-cha irs Leigh Watley Richey and Ann Johnson planned for more than a year for the festive weekend which began on Friday, April 2, with p ledge class reunions from as far back as 1928.
T o commemorate Indiana Beta in its lOOth yea r , ove r five hundred alumnae contributed to the Centennial Fund. The fund assisted in the expense of constructing and furnishing a brand new addition to the house. The chapter house is now able to hold 115 Indiana Betas. The addition includes a computer room, a bicycle room, a beautiful atrium, and an all-night kitchen. On Saturday morning actives gave returning alumnae a grand tour of the new addition.
At the noon luncheon at the chapter house, it was announced that the new wing would be named for
Betty Burnett Welke, Indiana Beta, who has been on House Corporation since 1949, and was chairman from 1952-1984. Other afternoon activities included a Cookie Shine, browsing in the memorabilia room, shopping at the Arrowcraft sale and reminiscing.
T he Saturday evening banquet was held in the Union Bu ilding where the large ha ll had been decorated as Pi Phi Heaven by florist Lindy Ell is Fox and her committee.
Presiding at the banquet was State Senator Kathy Wallace Smith. Special guests were Grand President Jo Ann Minor Roderick, National Fraternity Historian Barbara Sands Olsen, Grand Vice President of Philanthropies Betty Blades Lofton, Mu Alumnae Province President Anne Wells Hayes, and former Mu Province Presidents Pam Cagle Walters, Jill Grossman Cole and Anne Cooley Wilkerson, and former Alpha Collegiate Province President Pat Havens Shidler.
T h e celebration concluded with Sunday morning breakfast and a memo r ia l service at th e h o use.
Betty Burnett Welke (center) was pleas and y surprised when Jane Pulley Bloom (right) announced that the beautiful new addition to the house is named the "The Welke Wing" in her honor. On the left is Ann Welke Viel , Betty's daughter.

Family Ties
Following are excerpts from a letter written to Grand President Jo Ann Minor Roderick from Susan Schumann Nowlin. Hers is a heart-warming Pi Phi story.
I'm not quite sure h ow to go about this, and thought you might direct me. It' s been o n my heart for ne a rl y 25 years.
M y name is Sue Schumann Nowlin , and I was proudly initiated into California Zeta at the University of California at Santa Barbara o n February 26, 1967 . I was almost a legacy - and that's the reaso n for thi s letter.
My mother, Dorothy Jacks o n Schumann, pledged Pi Beta Phi in 1936 at Oregon State University Before she could complete her pledgeship she had to drop out of schoo l to care for her sick mother . She returned to college in 1939 and again pledged Pi Beta Phi. She completed her pledgeship, passed her pledge te st, and was ready to be initiated . In the meantime, she fell in love with a wonderful man who was an Alpha T a u Omega to whom she was pinned and then became engaged. When it was time for her to be initiated and become an active member , she couldn't afford the $50 initiatio n fee and still save enough mo ney to later be married.
She got ma rried but never forgot her affiliation with Pi Beta Phi. She talked fondly with h er children abo ut her Pi Phi sisters and her experiences as a pledge. Her pride in the Fraternity - in its ideals and the women who were a part of it - on ly increased my
New initiates Elizabeth Nowlin and Dorothy Jackson Schumann with Sue Schumann Nowlin after initiation ceremonies.
Missouri Alpha Elizabeth Lang. Miers , was elected Vice Chair of the Dallas Bar Association Board of Directors. A former secretary/treasurer of the Association, Elizabeth has served on the Board since 1987. A member of Leadership Dallas and Leadership Texas 1993, Elizabeth serves as chair of the Advisory Board of the Women's
pride as I became an active. Although we joked fondly when we ordered my ruby and diamond arrow pin that we were getting such a beautiful pin for me because she never got her own, I sensed in her a sad n ess. More than 30 years after sh e would have been initiated, she sti ll felt the loss.
N ow, the circle has widened. My da ughter Elizabeth Nowlin, who truly is a legacy, pled ge d California Lambda at the University of California at Riverside this fall. I a m proud of h e r and feel she will contribute in a significant way to the Fraternity her grandmother and I love so much.
I realize that more than 50 years h ave passe d since my mother wo uld ha ve bec o me an active member of Pi Beta Phi , and that her circumstances, perhap s, were no different than those of many women in the days just prior to the outbreak of World War II.
Throughout the years, my mot her' s love for the Fraternity ha s remained constant, and I believe she h as upheld the ideals of Pi Beta Phi.
My greatest joy -a nd I believe hers as well- would be to h ave her initiated into the Fraternity along with my daughter. I know that now, at age 75 she would still wear her pin proudl y.
On January 23,1993, along with her granddaughter Eli zabe th Nowlin, Dorothy Jacks on Schumann was finally initiated into Pi Beta Phi.

The St. Paul, Minnesota Alumnae Club had one of their club members, Professor Marty Rossman from the University of Minnesota, discuss t h e subject home and school collaboration for improving education. The presentation led to an interest ing discussion about wh a t pare nts can do to improve their child's education. Everyone felt the most important thing was for parents to at least physically enter their child's school at least once a year. This is not just important in elementary grades, but even through the high school years. In February, the club happened to have a meeting that coincided with Valentine's Day, enabling them to play games. At their Founders' Day meeting, the club presented a Jeopardy type skit. Their theme was "Pi Phi Magic."
The 1992 philanthropic project of the North Shore , Illinois Alumnae Club was "Adopt a Room" in the Evanston, Illinois Shelter for Battered Women. The project involved a complete redecoration and refurbishment of a bedroom. Pi Phis prepared and papered the walls, refinished the floor, upgraded the furniture and supplied new curtains, blinds and bedding. In previous years, the North Shore Club has supported the Evanston Shelter by providing clothing, toys and books In 1990, 150 books were donated. The Evanston helter provides temporary assistance to women and children.

On November 7, 1992, 63 Americus and Sumter County, Georgia cit izen s turned up their collars and with the crunch of shovels broke ground on a house building project. The groundbreaking marked the culmination of eight months of preparation for construction of the first all-women built house in Sumter County. W .A. T.CH.

The ftrst international Pi Beta Phi Pocket was founded in London, England on March 4, 1992. Diane Carruth Knox, Oklahoma Beta, invited all 55 Pi Phis living in England to a morning coffee. Eight were able to attend the ftrst meeting. Since then, membership has increased to 19, ranging from Golden Arrows to recent graduates. Most Pi Phis living in the London area are accompanying their husbands who are based there with international companies or the u.S Forces. Two North Dakota Alphas hadn't seen each other since one sang at the other's wedding twenty years ago. Three Oklahoma Betas found each other again, and four Oklahoma Alphas met for the ftrst time.

A Magic Moment Occurs at Children's Library
Every so often in our day to day existence, an event takes place that touches us deeply. I refer to these events in my own life as "mountain peak experiences" and just such an event was the reception on February 17, 1993, celebrating the ninth yea r of operation of the Pi Beta Phi Children's Library at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, T exas.
Jennifer Hartley, a patient in the hospital, unveiled two new bronze sc ulptures that were commissioned by the library in memory of the late Mathilde Muldrow Reistle, Okalhoma Alpha, with funds g iven by friends and R eis tl e family members Mrs. Reistle was a member of Pi Beta Phi and a past president of the Houston Alumnae C lub . Th e sculptures were created by H ouston-born Eugenie Kamrath Mygdal. In keeping with the library's goal of encouraging young people to read, each sculpture depicts a child absorbed in a book. The foot-high girl reads her favorite story with her dog cu rl ed at her feet, while the sculpted boy lies on his back reading, his sleeping dog beside him . "We are very happy to have these lovely sculptures," said Julia Allison, Library Coordinator.
"They are an artistic expression of our purpose and our hope that the library is a place of relaxation and healing for patients and their families."
Approximately 50 people attended the recepti on, including Carl Reistle, Jr., husband of Mattie Reistle, and other members of the Rei stle family.
Under Allison's direction, the library h as grown to include 3,000 books in English, Spanish, and French. It also offers video movies, N intendo games, magaz in es and books on audio tape, as we ll as other materials regarding parenting and assorted specialized topics. Children may participate in art and music projects appropriate to their diverse energy levels and ages.
A huge Texas thank you to all the Pi Beta Phi volunteers who have made this li br ary a reality and a very special thank you to the Reistle family and to Eugen ie Kamrath Mygdal for prov iding and creating the two magnificent bronze sculptures that will touch the hearts of everyone who enters the Pi Beta Phi Children's Library at Tex as Chi ldren's Hospital in Houst on, Texas .

An Update on Pi Beta Phi's Arrowcraft Shop
Abig thank you to all who gave such outstanding support to the Arrowcraft Shop this past year. For the first time in more than 10 years, the Arrowcraft Shop showed a small operating profit at the end of the fiscal year, Janu ary 31, 1993. Due to the efforts of the alumnae clubs, chapters and alumnae everywhere, shipping sales exceeded the previous year by over $13,000. Shop sales were down only 1%. The austerity budget, put in place in 1991, and additiona l operating cuts made during the year resulted in the small net operating profit . The support of alumnae and active members, and most importantly, the support of the alumnae clubs, was most gratifying.
New Sample Kits were received with enthusiasm last fall and will be available, with new merchandise, for future sales. The Arrowcraft, Inc. Board of Directors and the shop personnel have evaluated these kits and have responded to the helpful comments and suggestions. The shop is pleased to report that, with only a few exceptions, all orders last fall were filled as expected or promised Faye Cook reported, "This was the most pleasant shipping season we've ever had. The Arrowcraft Chairmen were all so cooperative and appreciative. The shipping season is always hard work, but it was pleasant work this year."
The 15% discount, offered to alumnae clubs and active chapters for a sale of over $500, remains in place . Many clubs and chapters were able to add a nice profit to their treasuries. Prices for most of the woven products remain the same as last year. Clubs and chapters have current price lists, and the shop will be happy to work with the individual alumna who wish to phone in and order.
The Arrowcraft Shop will have an outstanding display and sale at the 1993 Convention in Orlando. Delegates and visitors should make note of any spec ia l merchandise they wish for fall sales. The Sample Kits will
be displayed, and new color co mbinations in place mats and napkin s, and coordinating coasters and potholders, will be introduced. There will be man y new crafts, and an enlarged Ch ristmas display with beautiful handcarved wooden items. Convention is a n ideal way to see the wide variety of weaving and crafts carried in the shop.
The austerity budget rema ins in place and the cash flow condition remains very tight. The long-ter m debt, incurred at the time of the reorga nization and incorporation, remains substantial, but regular payments a re reducing parts of it. The goal of t h e Board of Directors was a break- e ven operating year for 1992 and we h ave exceeded that, thanks to your sa les and support. If we, together, can co ntinu e in this direction and show a ne t operating profit each year, Arrowcraft , Inc. will be able to payoff its debt and gain financial stability.
The shop remains heavily d ependent on alumnae club sales. It is essential that club sales, and all ship ping sales, continue to increase. Th e Arrowcraft Shop has taken ste ps towa rd sound financial practices and stability, and has turned the first comer, but there is a long way to go. P rogre ss forwa rd, and s uccess, can be m a intai n ed on ly with a lumnae, a l um nae club and chapter support.
The purpose of the Arrowc raft Shop remains the same ... suppo rt for Arrowmont and an outlet for t h e Arrowcraft Weavers and the regional craftsmen. The shop is an artis tic success and enjoys respected natio n al recognition, and is beginning to point in the direction of financial success. We encourage alumnae clubs a nd chapters to schedule Sample K its for sales next year, to display the wide range of merchandise for sale in the kits and take additional orders, and to enjoy a profit for your club or c h apter. You can take great pride in the Arrowcraft Shop and in the quali t y and beauty of the weaving and craft s. Your continued support will help wr ite the Arrowcraft success story.

Are Your Manners Showing ?
Beginning this spring Pi Phi Express offers a book about professional etiquette, protocol and diplomacy entitled "Pardon Me, Your Manners Are Showing!" available for Pi Beta Phis of all ages. Senior Editor of the book is North Dakota Alpha Mae Marie MaIm Blackmore.
A graduate of the University of North Dakota, Mae Marie married her Alpha Tau Omega sweetheart two days after graduation. They had four children, Barbara, Bob, Jeannie and Dick. They lived as many military families do, moving 19 times in ten years. After the death of her husband in a B-47 crash, Mae Marie and her children moved back to Grand Forks, North Dakota.
In 1959, she was hired by the University of Nort h Dakota as a supervisor for their small lab nursery school. In 1972, the nursery school became a large Chi ld Care Center and Mae Marie was named Director. She re-
mained in that position until she retired in 1992.
Mae Marie Blackmore se rves as chairman of North Dakota Alpha Pi Beta Phi House Corporation. She has been responsible for improvements at the University of North Dakota chapter house such as a new roof, complete redecorating of the main floor and the basement, where the dining room, kitchen, library and laundry are located. Under her charge, all of the bathrooms have been replaced, the hallways recarpeted and the attic storage area upgraded.
She is also chairman of the Alumnae Panhellenic Counci l at the University of North Dakota. Mae Marie and her co-chair managed to get the University to make availab le their steam for heat and hot water to all fraternities and sororit ies at treme n dous savings. She works with the G ree k advisor and helps with rush.
Mae Marie has been recognized as the Outstanding University of North Dakota Greek Alum n a three times. She has been act ive with state and national professional organizations dealing with children and education, and has served on numerous boards for community, civic, cultural, and human service organ izations. Mae Marie is a faculty emeritus of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of North Dakota, where she remains active. Her most recent project was as co-chairman of a benefit auction for t h e UNO auditorium in which $57,000 was raised.
Bruce Gjovig, author of the etiquette book, and Mae Marie are co-chairs o f the UNO Fraternity/Sorority Endowment within the UNO Foundation. A threeyear fund drive is under way
to raise a $250,000 endowment from which the interest will be used to enhance and strengthen the Greek system at the University of North Dakota. All profits and royalties from this book will be donated to build that endowment. All contributions, no matter the size, are welcome, and they are tax deductible.
The premise of "Pardon Me, Your Manners Are Showing!" is that professional etiquette protocol, and diplomacy offer you another strategy to get to the top, and stay there. Not only are these stepping stones to success, but also for lifelong happiness and harmony.
Professional etiquette, manners, and diplomacy create a strong personal presence that can propel an individual to success. Acquiring knowledge and a co ll ege degree are not enough in a competitive global economy. Proper business protocol helps determine the success or failure of not only individuals, but companies as well. Good manners prepare people to work with people of high rank and diverse cultures. A positive outlook, getting along with people, customer relations, initiative, and patience are all qualities directly affecting job performance. Real manners and thoughtfulness are the basis of wonderful human relationships, set the tone, and govern the finest interactions at work, home, leisure, the supermarket, the baseball field, the airport or over the phone.
Chapters in "Pardon Mr, Your Manners Are Showing!" include social introductions, table, telephone, professional and funeral etiquette, correspondence, dress and personal appearance. The book suggests solutions for dilemmas, answers difficult questions, serves as a guide to living with others, and helps you become a professional.
The book is now available to Pi Phis through Pi Phi Express

On July 21, 1992 one of Indiana Eta's angels was tragically taken from the chapter in a motorcycle/car accident. Karen Rorick was initiated into Indiana-Purdue at Fort Wayne Univer ity' Pi Beta Phi chapter on January 18, 1992 and erved as chapter censo r for her emeste r as a new initiate. Karen was a true sister and angel. She will a lw ays hold a specia l place in the hearts of those whom she touched and in Pi Beta Phi. Karen, we love you and miss you.
Indiana Eta Chap te r
Great article about self-esteem. How wonderful that Pi Phi is add ressing the issue. Especially for college women!

I cannot believe it - my 50th a nniversary as a member of Pi Beta Phi! Th ose were the years of W W II. Needles to say, university life was unettled. H oweve r , this very factor made o ur bond of siste rhood even stronger. Many of us had father s, brothers a nd swee the a rts in the South P ac ific o r Europe a n The ate rs of W a r.
I was privileged to se rv e Nebraska Beta as Chapter Pre si dent as well as president of the Universi t y Pa nhellenic Ass oc iation I a lso proudly wore a Phi Beta Kap p a ke y.
Thank yo u for thi s m ost meaningful rec og niti o n as a 50-year member o f Pi Beta Phi .

Will the blessings through Pi Phi n ever cease?
R ece ntl y, I moved m y 92-year-o ld mother, Kathryn McWhinney George, Iowa Gam m a, from Denver to Colorado Springs to an assisted living place near our home. On moving day I took her there with reluctance and concern, as many of you can under-
stand, I'm sure. As I was about to leave, it was time for the evening meal, so [ decided to walk with her to the dining area. he was assigned to a table with three othe r ladies. As we were introducing ourselves, one lady, Lynn Schrock Pettit, Orego n Gamma, said to me, "Are n 't you a Pi Phi ?"
As [ was acknowledgi n g this, another of the ladies said, " I' m Betty Oakes Barger, Co lorado Beta, and my daughter, Jan Barger Bartelma, Colo rado Gamma, is a member too!"
You ca n imagine my feelings and how much ea ier it was for me to leave knowing she h ad just met two new Pi Beta Phi friends!
Th e five of us are planning to go to the Founders' Day brunch toge t h er this month.

After a devastating ex per ience in ru sh a nd 33 years of dev o ti o n to Pi Beta Phi, I felt compelled to pen the e ncl ose d s tat e me nt , "What is a Le gacy?"

Have had the Links to literacy page from The ARROW on my desk for months [ have to write to tell you how thi warms my heart.
I've had a long history with Adult Basic Education and recently, I've joined the Vermont literacy Board (an extension of the State Board of Education) to ensure literacy programs a nd services throughout the state with a goal/charge to become a fully lit erate state by the year 2000. A daunting goal, but certainly an exciting challenge.
I'm so grateful to have Pi Phis working in this direction. I have no idea if Vermont Beta has "taken up the torch." [ hall suggest the Burlington ABE people invite the local Pi Phis to join their efforts.
My other "board" is the local library trustee board -a real force in reading and lite racy. My favorite biweekly job: to deliver books to local day-care provide rs. I t's good to have a focus!
Ju t wanted to tell yo u how much it meant to me to read about links to lit eracy. Thanks for shari n g that good n ews.
