1995 marks the 75th anniversary of the passage of the Amendment for women's suffrage . Today, women can actively participate in our counprocess in large part because of the efforts of Carrie Chapman Catt.
Born in 1859 in Ripon Wisconsin, Carrie Chapman attended lowa State Agricultural College in Ames where she pledged and was initiated into the Iowa Gamma Chapter of Pi Beta Phi , and in 1880 graduated valedictorian and the only woman in her class.
Carrie Chapman Catt was an early teen when she decided women should have the right to vote. Twenty-eight years later, the cause's leader Susan B. Anthony named Ms. Catt her successor where she served as the key strategist gaining final ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
Founder of the League of Women Voters , Ms. Can was recognized , in 1937 , as one of 10 greatest American women. She graced the cover of Time magazine in 1926.
The play, "The Yellow Rose of Suffrage," was commissioned by Iowa State's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to commemora te the achievements of this remarkable woman. Jane Cox, professor of theater , wrote and performs this one-woman play. A special benefit performance was held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. , March 1.
In October 1995, Carrie Chapman Can Hall will be dedicated on the Iowa State campus. It will become the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Carrie Chapman Can Center for Women and Politics . The center will offer educational opportunities to women and men who are interested in politics and public service; organize political issues seminars and workshops; foster research on issues related to women in politics and encourage women to pursue careers in politics and public service.
This building was the Agricultural Hall , more commonly known as Old Botany, and opened in 1893. It is the last surviving well-preserved 19th century building on the l.S U campus and was placed on the ational Register of Historic Places in 1985.
A $5 million renovation will make it once again a functioning building.
In front of the building will be a plaza of engraved bricks called the Plaza of Heroines Here women, living or dead , will be honored for their contribution to families, sorority, community or world. The Fraternity honored Carrie Chapman Catt as a member of Pi Beta Phi by purchasing a paver which will bear her name
The Center is a living memorial to a woman whose life 's work was promoting education, securing the right to vote for women and working for world peace.
"To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves."

4 u.s . Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on Pi Phi, politics and persistence
From the local to the state and national levels, Pi Phis make an impact in the world of politics 50 Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg Crest Award winners selected
***
From the Texas State Treasurer's office to Washington D.C. , United States Senator Kay Bailey Hutch ison has traveled a maverick's path to gain substantial yields for Lone Star residents , women 's issues, small businesses and big government.
***
She has been called everything from "Senator Sweet" to a "Texas Trend-Buster." Politi cal Columnist Molly Ivins refers to her as the " Breck Girl." Adjectives such as soft-spoken, genteel, petite and demure are consistently used to describe her. And yet perhaps the most striking c haracteristi c of this U.5. Senator has nothing to do with her blond tress es or small build
Texas Monthly reports Senator Hutchison 's strongest ch a racter traits as determination , a tireless capacity for hard work, a knack for planning and organizing and extraordinary thriftin ess. In a 1984 Dallas Morning News article , Sen a tor Hutchison herself said the b es t ad vice from her mother was "Sto p working so hard ," and rep oned her epitaph sh o uld read : "S h e worked herself into this ground. n She calls herself a perfectionist. "I don ' t demand anything of anyone that I don ' t demand of myself, n said Kay.
A qUick glance at Senator Hutchison 's resume , and one might think she sped to national prominence with ease. But that assumption, just as the "Breck Girl " label , is based on appearances. Delve a little deeper and there is more to be found. The road to
alns
Capitol Hill was not paved for her ; it has been bumpy and full of detours. One co uld say s h e navigated her way there maneuvering through the traffic of discrimination and harassmenL among other road blocks.
The Trip Begins
Senator Hutchison grew up in La Marque, Texas , dau ghter of a buil d er and homemaker Sh e graduated in the top 10 percent of her high school class and started at the University of Texas as a government major. The Texas Alpha Pi Phi was active and popular on camp u s. A ch eerleader at the University of Texas , Kay entered the University of Texas Law School her se nior year, one of a handful of women.
A Turn in the Road
After re ceiving her law degree in 1967 , Kay worked for a year at a law firm in Galveston, Texas. She tried for months to find work in a Houston law firm but met with rejection and frustration. Many finns thought male clients would not work with a woman attorney . Others did not risk hiring her. They worried about what might happen if she married and had children Always industrious , Kay turned to a career as a
reponer for KPRC-TV in Houston It was this tum which provided her first close glance at politics when she was assigned to cover the courthouse and political beat. An interview with fellow Texan Ann Armstrong , Co-chairman of the Republican National Committee , led Kay to a job in Washington as press secretary for the committee
The Road Back Home
After a shon stint in the Capitol , Senator Hutchison returned to Houston to fulfill her political ambitions and was twice elected to the Texas House of Representatives ; holding her first elected office at the age of 29 In 1976, President Gerald Ford appOinted her Vice Chairman of the National Trans ponation Safety Board. In 1978 s he married Ray Hutchison, a fo rmer colleague from the Texas House , an d moved to Dallas There she was app Oin ted senior vice president and gen eral counsel of Republic Bank Corp She la ter cofoun d ed Fid elity Natio n al Bank of Dallas. Kay turned again to the political arena in 1981. She decided to run for Congress . After plaCing first in the primary , Kay was forced into a runoff with a friend Three days before the runoff, an anonymous smear letter about her was circulated and she lost the election. Defeat was not easy for her to accep t In a rare display of public emo ti on , Kay conceded the race , saying, "I voted for myself this morning .. . and I felt good about it."
From politics , she switched gears to business. She was a partner in BoydLevinson, Ltd ., in the Dallas and Houston design centers In addition , she owned McCraw Candies, a manufacturing company with national distribution. Running her own business Kay
called "the toughest thing I have ever done."
Still possessing a fervor for politics, Kay sold the company and ran for state treasurer in 1990. This race, too, turned personal as her opp on e nt claimed Kay had a conflict of interest because of her husband 's po sition as a bond attorney. Quick to defend herself against the accusations, Kay persevered. It wasn't until after midnight that Kay could claim victory; she was elected to office with 49.9 percent of the vote.
New Horizons
Uoyd Bentsen's departure to become secretary of the Treasury in Washington opened a seat in the u.s.
Senate Governor Ann Richards appointed Democrat Bob Krueger to fill the vacancy until a special election. In June of 1993 , in that special election, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, was elected by the largest margin of votes ever received in the United States against a sitting, incumb ent senator.
Just months after her victory, a Texas grand jury indicted her on charges that as Texas State Treasurer she had misused state funds and employees for her own political purposes. The controversy continued for months as charges were dismissed and reinstated twice. On February 11, 1994, Senator Hutchison was exonerated of all charges. Republican Senator John W. Warner of Virginia said on the Senate floor that Hutchison wore a "badge of courage and firmness I wish more of us had."
In November 1994, she was reelected to a full, six-year term in the Senate .
Life in the Fast Lane
Her major legislative initiatives have been aimed at restoring the proper focus of the federal government and limiting its intrusion into the domain of states, local governments, small businesses and individuals.
On the Armed Services Committee, Senator Hutchison has proven a strong advocate for United
States military personnel and their families and for increased readiness and support for our armed forces After 18 months on Armed Services , she became the first wo man to serve on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
In her work on two other Senate committees, Small Business, along with Commerce , Science and Transportation, she has conSistently voted to roll back federal mandates and to limit the power of government. A recurring theme in Senator Hutchison 's political theory since entering politics , was illustrated in a speech entitled , "Let Thomas Jefferson Rest in Peace" when she was state treasurer. "Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave. When he framed the Constitution, he fought for states rights He fought for limited federal government. What we have today is not the small representative body envisioned by our founding fathers What we have is a 3 ,000 pound gorilla. "
Senator Hutchison was named a Deputy Majority Whip and is co-chair of the Senate GOP Regulatory Reform Task Force She has been making the news of late introdUCing legislation that would provide violence ratings for television programming on a quarterly basis. In addition , she is co-sponsoring the IRA Equity Bill to allow hom emakers fully deductible contributions of up to $2,000 to individual retirement accounts.
Senator Hutchison and her husband Ray live in Dallas He is a partner in the law firm of Vinson and Elkins.
Among other charitable activities, the Hutchisons fund two scholarships at the University of Texas and one at Southern Methodist University School of Law
The Senator 's links to Texas are historic . Thomas Jefferson Rusk, of Nacogdoches, was the first Texan to serve in the u.s. Senate. His friend and law parmer was Charles S. Taylor, who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence Taylor's great-greatgreat-great granddaughter, Kay Bailey Hutchison, today occupies the Rusk seat in th e U.S. Senate.
Her links to build bridges for today's women are just as historically noteworthy. Kay Bailey Hutchison is a woman of firsts: first Republican woman elected to the Texas House; first Republican woman elected to statewide office in Texas; first woman elected Senator in Texas. Though her accomplishments are many, you haven't heard the last from this woman of firsts. One gets the sense that this u.s. Senator is a pioneer of women for women. "I want to be able to pick up the newspape r and read that ' the bottom line earnings of a bank are the best, and the president happens to be a woman, ' rather than reading that 'there is a first woman president of the bank. ' " She concludes, "1 think the best thing that will happen to women is when there are no more 'firsts. '"
P i Phis from the state of Texas journeyed to Capitol Hill for the Senator' s swearing in ceremony on June 13, 199 3.

In a special interview with Pi Beta Phi, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison shares her feelings on Pi Phi, politics and persistence
How has your experience in Pi Beta Phi benefited you in your endeavors?
Many of the best friends I have are those I made in the sorority. I have been touched by how many of my Pi Phi sisters from all over Texas helped in my political campaigns. Many held leading positions in my organization, many contributed and hosted coffees and receptions for me.
You have worked as a reporter, press secretary, attorney , bank vice president and business owner. What advice would you give our collegians currently determining their career paths?
First, get the best education you can and take advantage of evety educational opportunity. Once in the work force, don't be afraid to try new things early in your career and take on new challenges. A good job is one that forces you to learn something new every day. Move around and experiment-but give yourself 100 percent to whatever you're doing.
How can Pi Phis make their presence known politically?
Get involved in local commu nity affairs , both individually and as a group, and be loyal, reliable participants in the process. Vote, support the candidates who represent you and look for opportunities to make a unique contribution based on the strength of our organization.

What character qual it ies do you believe helped you mo st in your political career?
Persistence , and a willingness to risk failure. The one characteristic shared by those who succeed is the ability to pick themselves up after they've lost a round, and try again
What do you believe you can contribute as a United States Senator? What goals do you have after serving as United States Senator?
Our country needs to revitalize its roots We became the greatest nati on on earth by rewarding hard work and assuring success based on merit, not birth. We must return to self-reliance , rather than dependence on government , and we must free our businesses from over regulation and taxation so they can compete in the global marketplace and create more jobs in America.
I hope , as a senator, to help get this country back on track. My goal after leaving the Senate is to write a book!
What do you cons ider your biggest political accomplishments?
As a state representative, I sponsored and passed bills to authorize the creation of transit systems in Texas cities and create county historical commissions to preserve our heritage, and a measure to ensure fair treatment of rape victims. As State Treasurer, I fought against the imposition of a state income tax and cut my agency's budget more than any other in the state, while earning more for our taxpayers ' investments than had ever been earned in one year. As U.S. Senator, I am fighting for a

strong national defense, for homemakers' retirement security and for a balanced federal budget.
As a women in the predominately male -oriented political arena, what have been your greatest challenges? Your biggest surpr ises?
The challenge in my first campaign for the state Legislature in 1972 was to prove I co uld do the job. Back th en there was healthy skeptiCism whether a woman could be tough enough to function effectively in politics It came as a big surprise to m e to find that now the situatio n is just the opposite: being a woman in politics is an advantageand is very rewarding
I'm touched by the women who love helping other women and b y fathers who bring their daughters to meet me because they want them to have a role model.
What do you consider your causes?
Strong national defense ; individ u al retirement acco unts for homemakers so they will enjoy the same security in their later years as those who worked outside the home; regu latory relief for small businesses.
Who has served as a role model for you?
I consider Anne Armstrong, former co-c hair of the Republican National Committee and first female ambassador to Great Britain, to be a role model. I was her press secretary and learned so much from her. She has continued to be my closest advisor and friend through the years.

How do you maintain homes and offices in Washington and Dallas and have a personal life?
My husband is a politi ca l veteran as well as a respected attorney in his own right. Without his support and understanding , it would be impossible to do what I do.
How are you able to maintain a perspective in the face of criticism?
One of the adjustments I had to make in my life was making the transition from wanting people to like me to
a career in which I seek not popularity , but respect. In life, all of us who work hard and fight for our beliefs will have detractors-this is magnified if we are in politics . I try not to take criticism personally and I try not to criticize others in a personal way.
Our readership consists of nearly 120,000 women, ranging in age from 18 to 80 and beyond, what issues do you consider paramount to their futures as we approach the year 2000?
*Named one of Ten Outstanding Young Wome n of Amer ica , 1977
It is vital to the furure of America that our society continue to take advantage of the strength offered by women . In the workplace , in politics, in community leadership and at home , women bring a different set of life experiences to the table. Men, as well as women , will benefit if women continue to be full participants in leading our country.
Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Our sorority has been an important part of the formative period of so many of our lives Times have changed and we must look for new ways to meet the needs of our young women who are growing up in very rough times. They face challenges that many of us never had to face, but we can grow and adapt and look for ways to help them prepare for the furure The bonds of friendship carry beyond the college years and can continue to be a source of strength for all of us throughout our lives

Founded '867
Recently I attended a memorial service Jor Melissa Gail Aptman, a Pi Beta Phi collegian who had been brutally murdered just two weeks shy oJ her graduation from Washington University in St. Louis.
More than 800 students, Jaculty and friends gathered to pay tribute to this young woman whose Juture seemed so bright and yet was cut short. The night was one I will not soon Jorget. Peers, sisters and mentors openly shared how one had touched them, the impact made on their own lives.
I am saddened to think oj the number oj similar services we have each attended , saying our goodbyes to those we have held dear. Our members who have died are listed in the In Memoriam department, and though we do not publish obituaries oj deceased members, we know that with each life is an incredible and inspiring story.
For every issue we receive notes and letters inJorming us oj the death oj our members. Sometimes newspaper clippings are included, a husband pens his Jeelings oj grieJ and loss, an alumnae club shares the program from a memorial service, collegians send photos from Pi Phi junctions. As objective as we are called to remain in an editorial sense, many times our hearts surrender and we are brought to tears.
Resonating in my mind are the words oj Melissa 's younger sister who , in a poem she wrote in tribute to her sister, asked , "Can anyone mend a broken heart? " Unfortunately, none oj us can . Yet , we can call on one another Jor support and assistance , to bear one another 's burdens
I believe it is in times oj great grieJ and sadness that the utter core oj our Fraternity shines through. As much pain and anguish as was visib le at the memorial service, I was strengthened to see the chapter members oj Missouri Beta walk together across the quadrangle oj the campus, wearing wine and blue ribbons and their badges, comforting and sustaining one another.
Following is an excerpt from a poem by Melissa entitled "Uncertainty."
You can't read ahead into our life's plan , so you must do what you can to enjoy today's delights, because change comes with the night.
The rearranging in life stimulates the soul. although it always takes its toll.
Departing from the comfortable has its price . ..
but without risks ... what is life?
To move ahead, we must say goodbye. To shape the soul, we must break old ties However , we never lose that which we once had at the start.
It remains engraved in each of our hearts
In this issue , we celebrate women-from Carrie Chapman Catt to Melissa Aptman and thousands oj others-who in big and small ways charge us to give oj ourselves ... to our country , our co mmunity, our caus es, and most importantly to each other
This is your page made available to anyone wishing to comment on articles, the magazine or any topic oj interest to our readers. Letters must be signed with full name, address and chapter. We reserve the right to edit as needed to space requirements and content.
1 want to publicly thank the more than 70 Nebraska Beta Pi Phis who worked so many hours to stage our 100th birthday celebration the weekend of April 7-9, 1995. Over 400 Pi Phis from every comer of the United States attended. Initiation dates ranged from 1924 through 1995.
Activities were well planned and programs were beautifully orchestrated. Old friendships were renewed . A wine and silver blue thread of love permeated the festivities. Extemporaneous singing, from "Ring Ching Ching" to "Re m ember," erupted during each assembly for fellowship
I am proud to be a 45-year Nebraska Beta Pi Phi. Thanks , ladies , for a memorable weekend

Maxine Fleming Fones, Kansas Beta, was a friend of my mother's and part of a group of Kansas Betas who maintained a round robin letter since leaving Kansas State University . My mother was first to die in 1977. The round robin was at her home when she died, so I sent pictures of family and a letter of thanks for their friendship over the years. When I talked to Maxine's daughter Rosemary (Fones Walczak), an Arizona Alpha, after Maxine's death she recalled that and hopes to do the same. I traveled to Manhattan, Kansas that next weekend for our 80th anniversary of founding celebration I took a copy of the obituary to show to those who knew her and were in attendance Yes, some were there, amazing the loyalty of Pi Phis!

What a wonderful article ("Perspective") Virginia Fry wrote for the Spring ARROW! She brought out a "family" side of Pi Phi I'd never realized before . I'll quote parts of her letter in my April Alumnae Province President correspondence (giving her full credit of course). High marks to her! I know what a busy time this is, so from all of us out there-thanks for the added inspiration.
Yesterday I hosted Valley of the Moon Pi Phi bridge and one lady, a Golden Arrow, spoke of lOSing her mother at age 14 and being "raised" from then on by her mother 's close Pi Phi friend. There's more to it, but the gist of it is "Pi Phi" and how it continued to keep Lou and this lady's daughter close.

Gentle Message
Delivered at School's First Painting Conference
"Having long since made the not so startling discovery that an is not the best choice of professions by which to get rich, m y belief is that one becomes an artist because of a certain independence of spirit, and to give up that independence is to give up the real reward of being an artist. "
This quote from Milford Zornes, published by Hillcrest Press in 1991, perfectly sums up the active career of painter Milford Zornes, the keynote speaker for the Watercolor USA Honor Society Conference held April 20-22, 1995 at Arrowrnont.
Born in Oklahoma in 1908 and reared in California, Zornes has traveled the world , painting in such places as Mexico, Majorca , Greenland and Uganda.
As one of 42 official U S. Anny artists in World War II , Zornes was assigned to the Pacific Theater. "The army experience was a significant one ," Zornes said at Arrowrnont . "I was sent to India , Burma , China and spent rwo years abroad with no other chore than to paint , draw and collect graphi c sketches of anything that had to do with army life Of course I cheated-I
went and saw things outside of army life and did a lot of painting I wasn't required to do , so it was an outstanding experience. "
Since then his many teaching assignm ents have taken him to places such as Italy, Ireland , Spain , Puerto Ric o, Costa Rica , Bali, Java, Alaska and very recently to Tennessee , where he taught on e of eight pre-conference watercolor workshops at Arrowrnont.
"In my own teaching I definitely don't teach people to be artists, I certainly do not attempt it. I teach painting as a craft. In Ireland a you n g friend of mine , a student, rushed up to me one day and said , ' Mr. Zornes! Do you know how to be an artist?' I said I'd like to , and he said, 'You get your paints , your canvas, your brushes and your easel, and you set up in the square or by the road, and you paint, and people come along and say there 's an artist!'
''I'm afraid that's the reason why we as painters do get the label ' artists ,' whereas in other fields of endeavor this label has to be won. People do not speak of a novel as a work of an until it has proven itself to be a work of an, and the same is true in architecture , music or any of the other arts. "
Zornes confided that over the years he 's become suspicious of "an by intention or an by influence or an by attitude I've found that what constitutes art is what anyone individual needs from his world, and what he looks for. If he finds it, he finds an "

Employee Celebrates Four Decades With I1B<I>
Arrowmont Business Manager Nadine Whitted is celebrating her 40th anniversary with Pi Beta Phi. A native of Gatlinburg, Nadine attended Pi Beta Phi Elementary and Pi Beta Phi High Schools. After graduation, she jOined the staff at Arrowcrafr in February of 1955. "There was a lot of business (at Arrowcraft) then ," Nadine said. "Arrowcraft had a loom out front, and I demonstrated weaving some ."
Gradually she moved into the shipping department. After she had worked five years with Arrowcraft, Nadine was hired by Settlement School Director Marion Miller. Her office was in Teachers' Cottage. The area where Arrowmont now sits, Nadine recalls, "was fenced in with muies, cows and livestock. "
"I worked year round back then , but we only had about five weeks of classes in the summer, and they were held in the high school building. Those (students) enjoyed it! They weren't pressured so much like now. Everybody goes at a fast pace now ."
Things have changed steadily since then. Today Spring and Summer Workshop Programs occupy 14 weeks of the year, and Elderhostels about six weeks. Ten years ago Arrowmont offered five workshops during November Community Classes; there
were eight in 1994. Children 's Classes boasted three workshops in 1987, and seven in 1995 Twelve Elderhostel Workshops are scheduled for this September, twice as many as in 1987. Additional studio space has enabled Arrowmont to offer 100 classes during its 1995 Spring and Summer Workshop Program, up from 76 in 1985 As classes and programs have expanded , so have Nadine's responsibilities and her job description.
Though busier than ever at Atrowmont, Nadine's work schedule enables her to remain active in her church where she and former Atrowcraft employees Veryl Monhollen, Faye Cook and Nella Hill got together and formed a gospel group called Southern Harmony "They ' re all sisters," Nadine explained, adding, "Sometimes we go visit other churches and things, and once in awhile another group will have us , but mostly we just sing at our church. "
For about 25 years, Nadine crossed the parking lot to spend lunch hour with the Cook sisters at Atrowcraft. The ritual ended when the shop was leased in 1994 , but Southern Harmony is still intact.
Today , Nadine's office is located in a shingled cottage between the Parkway and a hedge around the Pi Beta Phi Elementary School playground. "O h , I love this building," adine said. "It 's away from the beaten path! " Formerly the Settlement School clinic, the building houses three offices and a historical room under a lovely slate roof. The nearby hedge is popular with birds and rabbits, and with her windows open she can hear children on the Pi Beta Phi playground-a pleasant reminder of the Fraternity 's long history in Gatlinburg.

Gallery Gifts Expand Sphere of Influence
Each time Billi Rothove, Arrowmont's Gallery Coordinator, answers her telephone or opens her mail, it's a new experience. Recently, it was the Smithsonian Institute calling. The word is out ... Arrowmont is placing new emphasis on its gallery and permanent collection. With support from the Campaign, this area of Arrowmont's role in education is poised for growth.
Hired less than a year ago to the administrative position made possible by Campaign gifts, Rothove's full-time commitment to the gallery program is opening doors and bringing visibility to the school.
The Internet
The Smithsonian's call was to announce that the Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art is putting its White House Collection of American Crafts "on tour" on the World Wide Web, the fastest-growing part of the Internet. The "tour" will include the work of 12 to 15 of Arrowmont's faculty In addition to pieces in the White House Collection, these recognized craft artists have pieces in Arrowmont's permanent collection and have been represented in numerous exhibitions in the school's gallery.
The Arrowcraft Collection
One of Rothove's goals is to "expand our educational outreach and establish Arrowmont even more firmly
as an institution of historical significance." When speaking of current activity to document the school's historic Arrowcraft Collection, Rothove says, "This collection is far more important than I first realized. We are fortunate to own a collection with such regional Significance and we have an obligation to preserve it. " The largest portion of the collection represents hand-woven textiles from Pi Beta Phi's cottage weaving industry.
Correspondence from the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina supports Arrowmont's role as a resource and recognizes the value of its treasures. The Mint Museum seeks Arrowmont's help in documenting the origins of work for its Southern Arts &: Crafts Movement in 1890-1940 exhibition scheduled for mid-1996. Several pieces from the Arrowcraft Collection will be on loan to the Mint Museum.
The Anniversary Collection and Tour
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Arrowmont's gallery will host a Anniversary: Faculty Invitational Exhibition from August 1S-0ctober 7. letters of invitation have gone to more than 650 faculty members. Faculty who have made a commitment to send work for the anniversary exhibition have received a personal appeal to donate a work to the newly established 50th Anniversary Collection. This collection is being assembled to represent the best in late 20th century American art and craft objects The Anniversary Collection will become a part of ArrowmOnt 's permanent collection with continuing visibility in the school's atrium and foyer gallery areas

and with travel opportunities. The Hermitage Foundation Museum of Norfolk, Virginia has requested the collection for a 1996 showing.

museum quahty documentation and preselVation of its collections. The School joined the American Association of Museums in the fall of 1994, and Coordinator Rothove recently attended the Museum Division of the National Arts Education Association held in Houston and the Tennesseans for the Arts Advocacy Day in Nashville. Director Sandra Blain says, "Arrowmont's visibility and opportunities for nerworking are essential as we increase our understan din g of what the public needs and wants Arrowmont is committed to building a strong reputation for its ga ll ery p rogra m ."
Funding for the Future ...
Ca p ital Cam p aign fu nd in g to date has supplie d s tart- u p monies. Blain says, "The Campaign for Arrowmont will make a monumental difference in the gallery program. We're already seeing it in installations and in the earliest steps to document and preselVe valuable collections. But we've just begun. Many more steps lie ahead and additional gifts are essential."
Opportunities for the Arrowmont program are limitless. Whether they include visibility on Internet and the information superhighway, assembling a new collection, providing a climatecontrolled environment for the preservation of a historic collection, or selecting pieces for the many theme exhibitions funding will dictate the boundaries. The undivided attention of a full-time gallery administrator will ensure that monies are spent wisely An open endowment begun with gifts in honor of Sandra Blain seeks support from Pi Beta Phis and o ther friends of Arrowmont

Pi Beta Ph i's Mentoring & Networking Program
In 1995, Pi Beta Phi's Directions Program got a new look and a new emphasis. To oversee the expansion of the program , Grand Council moved Directions under the jurisdiction of the Director of Membership Kay Knittle Brock. In addition, a national committee of six women was appointed. Clubs in larger cities appointed a Directions Coordinator, whose function is to promo te Directions within her club as well as collect and send enrollment forms to Central Office.
The database of resource people has been increased and updated. In December, a questionnaire was sent to all members currently enrolled in the program. Individual Pi Phis were able to update Central Office records ensur-
ing that the information provided through the program is current. So far in the 1994-95 academic year , approximately 500 requests for Directions information have been filled. The Fraternity is better able to send members what they want, expect and need. Kay has brought a new emphasis to the program in meeting the needs of today's women and widening the personal communication channel between members. Among other goals in reorganizing Directions, Kay wanted to redefine the purpose of the program and educate members on how to participate and what to expect. In achieving that goal, beginning this summer, members who register with Directions will be given guidelines for the program.
I am a recent graduate of Texas Tech University where I was an active member of the Texas Gamma Chapter of Pi Beta Phi. I am currently living in Texas, but plan to move to the Denver (Fort Collins/Loveland) Colorado area in August 1995. I have a degree in food technology and I am certified to teach elementary and early childhood education. I am also interested in information concerning a career in flight attending.
I was very excited when I saw the Directions article in The ARROW. Thank you very much for offering this service! I hope to one day become a mentor for a needy Pi Phi moving to a new areal Thank you again

For four decades mezzo-soprano Marilyn Home, California Gamma, has been gracing operatic stages around the world
Among her many honors , Marilyn received New York's highest cultural award , The Handel Medallion in 1980 , for her outstanding contribution to the arts in New York City . She received the Covent Garden Silver Medal for Outstanding Service in 1989 which marked the 25th anniversary of her debut at The Royal Opera House , and in 1990 the San Francisco Opera 's
Silver Medal for 30 years of exrraordinary artisrry. In 1992 Marilyn was honored by The National Endowment for the Arts when President Bush presented her with the coveted National Medal of Arts. The International Association of Opera Directors awarded her the prestigious Fidelio Gold Medal. Marilyn was the first American artist so honored In 1993 she was the featured vocalist at the Inauguration of President Clinton.
Marilyn has the distinction of being the only living artist selected by Jarold C. Schonberg for his New York Times list of the nine "all-time, all-star singers in the Met's (Merropolitan Opera's) 100 years."
A first for Marilyn in 1994 was the Marilyn Home Vocal Workshop at Carnegie Hall. The intensive five-day workshop of seminars and masterclasses gave some of the counrry's brightest young artists the opportunity to learn and be coached by the esteemed singer. To further education of artists, Marilyn established The Marilyn Home Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to the art of the vocal recital. The foundation's purpose is to provide grants to musicians and presenters to create more performance opportunities for singers; educational programs for grade-school children; and song commissions for American composers.
Future projects for Marilyn include serving as Voice Program Director Designate and Artist-in-Residence of the summer institute at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara , where she will be full time as of the summer of 1997.
