Iota
Iota started the Winter quarter with the initiation of three pledges. They are Ronnie Barney, Long Island, N. Y., Fulton G. Bullock, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., and Dave Tuttle, Hickory, N.C. The brothers of Iota are grateful for the advice they received from the Traveling Counselor, Bill Abbott. Graduation struck a blow at Iota. We lost two quite active brothers, Herb Owens and Bill Smith. The "Hobo" Party held at our house in January was a huge success. Dick Chapman, Carl Frick, and their dates were the main attractions because of their wonderful costumes. Everybody enjoyed cooking bot dogs in the basement over a portable fireplace. Pi Kappa Phi is tied for first place in basketball at Tech. -Ronald B. Bastien, Jr., Historian

March elections brought the following officers: Dick Hinson, archon; Woody Muse, assistant treasurer; Frank Perkins, secretary; Bill Spence, historian; Paul Johnson, warden; Bill Wilson, chaplain, and Bob Ammons, alumni secretary. The former assistant treasurer, Ed Chapman, auto matically became treasurer. Tau's twenty-second annual Rose Banquet which precedes the IFC Mid-Winter Dance was the social highlight of the term. John Rose was master of ceremonies, and A. P. White was social committee chairman. During the banquet George Fox was presented Tau's scholarship cup for having the highest average for the three preceding terms. Tau's Ping Pong Team, consisting of A. P. White, "Buck" Plemmons, Bob Ammons, and Pledge Jerry Welch, entered the inter-mural Ping Pong Tournament. When the dust cleared, Tau found itself in second place, thanks to some outstanding play by Pledge Welch. Two new brothers are Richard L. Satterfield from Charlotte, N. C., and William B. Cope from Raleigh, N. C. - Bill Joyner, Historian.
