Mawakened and new ideals set up there must nothing enter which will destroy the newly constructed foundations for a great building. The instruction of the neophyte should continue regularly and carefully. The first instructions being deeply impressed, he will be more than anxious to receive furtherin- struction, even more anxious than the chapter will find time to respond.
Step by step the neophyte should be developed until he is ready to lean! the true A rt of Fraternity. It is no time now for ridiculous innovations. If his pledgeship has been the course of instruction it should he, he is anxiously waiting to learn of the deep mysteries of the Art. What a farce, what a crime, that any should be led astray in their thinking bv the clownish antics of "Hell W eek."
His final examination to test his fitness for becoming an artisan should be a more grave and nerve trying experience than any final examination in the course of study he is pursuing in the college. Here his activity records are laid aside; the one and great question is, has he fitted himself to become a brother? The ex-ray of inquisition is turned on his character and if it exposes flaws he is not a fit artist to help wield the brush and help complete the picture being painted by this school of art. He must be turned back. The campus must know that only those who have reached a high standard of personality can gain admittance.
The examination being passed satisfactorily, the ritual should be presented in a most impressive manner. Philosophers have attempted from time immemorial to express the truth underlying the teaching of the Greek Letter Fraternity, but have failed. These truths are not bits of philosophy of life— they are bits of life itself. They cannot be inculcated by teaching alone, but by being so presented that they stand out as integral parts of a whole. Life is full of drama and so there is drama in the ritual. Life is full of truths and so great lessons of truth find a place in the unfolding something unannounced and unexpected.
To properly present the ritual in all these phases, those who have the honor of interpreting it to the neophyte should make it a deep study. Here is their opportunity of making an impress on the greatest of the created universe, a human life. That impress must be perfect and without flaw.
The ritual is not only the vehicle on which the principles of the great Art. Fraternity, rides into the heart and mind of the neophyte, it is also the ex- pression of ideals which have become living realities in the lives of the men conferring the degrees. It is the task not to be lightly undertaken, but to be seriously performed. No printed ritual should appear in the chapter room.
The ritual should be such a part of the men giving it that they are only depicting a portion of the fabric which has been woven into their lives.
Let every fraternity reawaken the spirit of the founders. Let every chapter see to it that the ritual is mastered in the lives of the members and in.V* detail of its presentation. The greatest assurance of alumni interest in initia- tions is a well presented ritual which brings back to them the obligations the. themselves assumed. -5
The ritual should be so impressively presented that when finished there
a true meaning to the handclasp. It should open the doors of true ', r o t 'i e \1 ^ to the youth for the first time. The principles of Fraternity should stand ° until they become great objectives and not merely spoken lessons. ^ n e n . .

will live forever, and the brothers found around the altar of Fraternity^ march down through the hard places of life with each other and ever sustaining force in a none too friendly world.

What Is Socialism? by Jessie W. Hughan. (New York: The Vanguard
ess. 50 cents.)
ESSIE WALLACE HUGHAN (Alpha), has written a very interesting book on socialism as a third volume in a series of books on social philos-
hies. Harry W . Laidler's review follows:
"This third volume in the Vanguard Press books on social philosophies
intains the general excellence of the series. Dr. Hughan, who is known best her 'American Socialism of the Present Day,' has outlined with unusual rity the Socialists' main criticisms of the existing economic order, the sic theories of 'scientific' socialism, the general features of the proposed -operative order and the means urged for the realization of that order.
"In contradistinction with most recent writers on this subject, Dr. Hugh- centers attention not on European, but on American socialism, and brings the forefront many constructive features of that movement. She defines
aim of Socialists as the 'ownership by society of the principal means of duction and distribution, with their democratic management for the pre- ntion of exploitation and the benefit of the people as a whole.' Her best apters are those dealing with the economic and social aspects of the new er, where she discusses with skill the extent of collective ownership under cialism, methods of remuneration, the problem of democratic versus reaucratic control and the everpressing question of personal liberty.
'Perhaps she has insufficiently emphasized in her book the place of con- mers' co-operation in a socialist society and the value of economic action a supplement to political action in the struggle for social control of in- stry. She might well have shifted the rather technical opening chapter to introduction and started the reader on the vigorous criticism of present y society found in Chapter I I . But on the whole this popular-priced book an eminently readable, concise and scientific exposition of American socialism the vintage of 1928." —Nezv York Herald Tribune, Books.

avid for misconception. But that wasn't what Lindbergh meant. He was thinking of those other pioneer spirits who had preceded him and made his trip possible. He was thinking of Columbus, the Pilgrim Fathers, the man in the covered wagon, of Fulton, Stephenson, the Wright brothers. Ford and those gallant lads who fought on wings of flame to make the world safe for generations yet unborn in 1917. Lindbergh was thinking too of those who would come after him and who would rise to even greater deeds perhaps be- cause of his performance.
No sorority goes through the agony of rushing season merely to be able to say afterward, "We got so and so away from such and such a group." I'll admit it may sound like it sometimes in the bitterness that is stirred up when Greek meets Greek, but in the last analysis, the pin you wear is asymbol that somebody somewhere along the line believed they saw in you a spark of the spirit and dream which has carried Alpha O onward and upward through its more than thirty years of existence.
So, whenever the term "we" is used in speaking of our sorority, it is ani unconscious reference to those who lighted the torch and have kept it burning down through the years to the present—and of those youngsters into whose hands it shall pass in the future.
And the job, the real job of everyone of us to find our place in the Big Parade and to keep in step at all costs. For if Alpha Omicron Pi is to have its place in the sun, the procession must be continuous. And no organization is any stronger than the xveakest straggler within its ranks.

^ob in Sden is no 'Paradise
" IOB in Eden no paradise. Teaching school in Eden, Ore., is no paradise for J Miss Henriette Hansen (Alpha Sigma, '28), 20, of Eugene, Ore., who herds her six pupils into a one-room school house surrounded by a high fence to keep out bears and cougars," reads a caption accompanying the picture of Miss Han-
sen, printed in hundreds of newspapers throughout the United States recently- An enterprising news writer of Eugene a few weeks ago sold a photograph of Miss Hansen and a short story about her work in the wilds of southwestern Oregon to a press association in Ohio which supplies a large number of news- papers with feature stories and pictures. Yesterday a Register subscriber sent to the Morning Register one of these pictures of Miss Hansen clipped from the Portland, Maine, Press of January 17. The picture and story undoubtedly have attracted a great deal of mention as Miss Hansen is strikingly beautiful and
the subject matter of the caption is out of the ordinary.
Eden is located in Coos county, out from Bandon. and, as the wording °* the caption indicates, it is located in a very wild country.
Miss Hansen attended the University of Oregon a year or two ago. Nom- inally her home is in Eugene, but her folks live at Upland, Neb.

Nu Members Earn Money by Ingenious Method
By MARGARET WILSON,, New York University
An incredibly swift-flying and ob-
durate calendar forced us to mail our
last chapter letter with but a passing
mention of the Founders' Day ban-
quet, which was two days in the off-
ing. As chance would have it, three
of the most important events of the
year were crammed into one evening, to regard the method of earning
Aand, strangely enough, most success-
fully so. On December 7, we initiated
Dorothy Logan, Lillian Andrus, and
Betty De Mott: the initiation was fol-
lowed by the Founders' Day banquet
at the new Panhellenic house, and
by Nil's Winter Dance at the Bilt- upon each and every prospect wn
more. Certainly a full evening for an inexperienced novice; but, then, even wearied feet do not denote a lagging spirit. W e almost wished that we could have been one of those for whom this was a first glimpse of Alpha O. For our Founders and our alumnae, gathered together in the great new Panhellenic house,—with their warm and gracious personalities, and their splendid idealism, form ed a most impressive picture of Alpha O at its best. Immediately after the banquet, the active chapter girls and many of the alumnae hurried away to Nu's dance at the Biltmore, and danced to the end of a perfect day. Much credit f o r the success o f the dance,— both financial and otherwise,—is due to our enterprising committee chair- man Edith Sharp ('30).
Nu celebrated the Christmas holi- days rather quietly "at home." Santa Claus, himself, was a bit too busy to appear; but he sent an able represen- tative, and lots of holiday cheer in a grab-bag, bearing appropriate gifts for each of our sisters.
appears on the scene, and tactfully convince them of the necessity for buying chances, which thev have for sale. A n d the weird strains of "amo, amas. amat," which issue from sup- posedly empty classrooms testify t° the tutoring of hapless freshmen.
Nn is very enthusiastic about the alumnae plan for buying out the Civic Repertory Theatre for the night ot March 19. The chapter has been divided into a first and second team,
each with its quota of tickets to ? c "; with Harriet Dunham and Rosemary Holahan as chairmen respectively Thus far, there has been a very live- ly competitionbetween the two t£anl to put its share "over the top." S>nC the performance to be given is £ " vitotion au Voyage with Eva Gallienne, the task of selling t'c k e t ought not to prove a difficult one. ^
And now that "exams" are on^ more a closed book, and a whole n
term is before us, Nu is intent »'P^ the rushing season, which opens ^

"May I say that my modest little sister, Margaret Wilson, who writes Nu chapter 'news' and who so gra- ciously credits me with reading for Honors in English, is herself a mem- ber of the Honors group.

We are all back at school after en- ying a month's vacation during the ristmas holidays. A group of the rls went down to Los Angeles for California-Georgia Tech football me at New Years.

Some the other girls went to Yosemite d Truckee for the holidays. As ry few of them have ever seen ow before, they were quite en- nced with it. W e all had wonder- l times, but are glad to be back ain with our Alpha O sisters.
We had just one week of rushing s semester instead of the usual o. This makes it rather difficult en a number of houses are rush- the same girls. However we have e new pledges of whom we are ry proud. They are: Betsy Har- an. a sister of Mrs. Tohn Morse
oris Harrigan, Ex. '28), Selma hite, Ruth Ryan, Dorothy Will, d Bernice Smith. They are all ely girls and very much im - essed with Alpha O.
Initiation was held on January 23 d was very formal and beautiful. ose whom we initiated are: Kath- ine Geary, Jean Stoll, Gautier Har- , Grace Rieser, Mary Pond, Mar-
ian Littlefield, Lucille Clark, Carol Barber, and Margery Helms. Din- ner was served immediately after initiation, and our own Grand Presi- dent, Rose Gardner Marx officiated, which is in itself sufficient to make any such affair impressive and one to be remembered for a long time.
Just a week ago Cornelia Morris (Sigma '24), gave us a delightful surprise. "Connie" is our alumna adviser, and as such has made her- self indispensable to us. On Monday night just before meeting we were all seated at dinner when a beautiful ten pound box of candy was delivered to our Housemother. She opened it,
and inside was the announcement of the betrothal of Cornelia Morris and Elmer Mason. They expect to be married in March.
We celebrated our House Birthday on Monday, February 4, in the usual manner. A number of the graduates came back, and each class of active girls gave a skit, and some very amusing and clever stunts were pre- sented.
A number of the girls have been chosen to play in the Parthenia this year. This is a play which is given every year and takes place in the open air. M arian Littlefield ('31), has one of the solo parts.
Virginia Barker ('31), is playing in the Little Theater this year.

Tells of the Excitement of Hoover's
Election
senBy ADELE GIST, Leland Stanford
University
TnpMMsiERtaMceou.evwLambda has just finished rushing, and we are proud to announce that we have pledged the following girls: Sydney Davant, Margaret Main, Lu- cile Morgan, Jane Nykirk, Greta Reed and Dorothy Williams. Feb- ruary 6 we had a dinner dance in their honor.
This year an unusually short vaca- tion followed one of the most active quarters we have known. Stanford was honored by national politics, and the return of the Hoovers was a great event for us. Y ou may be sure that all Lambda turned out election night and was present at the student Hoover rally.
We had all just attended a concert by John Philip Sousa and his band. Between the numbers our student body president had given us the latest election returns. Amid great cheer- ing we heard his announcement that after the concert was over, we were to follow the band to the Hoover home.
At last we had assembled in the garden at the front of the President- Elect's house, out under a starry Cali- fornia sky. Great lights were trained on the building in readiness for movie ''shots."
The crowd was tense with excite- ment. Hoover had not yet appeared. From time to time the front door would open, and a wave of expect- ancy would surge over us.
Finally the Hoovers appeared and were greeted by enthusiastic and pro- longed cheering. They posed for the ready cameramen and then Sousa's band struck up the Stanford hymn. The honored family then returned to the house and appeared on the roof garden. Then Stanford paid homage to her hero. Under the direction of our yell leader we sang and cheered. At last, "Speech! Speech!" was
.cried, and Hoover in a few sentences expressed his appreciation of our homage. H e seemed quite touched by the enthusiasm.
In the meantime there was more music and great rockets were shot off that illumined the sky. As it grew late, the band struck up the Star-Spangled Banner. Everyone sang with all his soul and then we dispersed, to go home and talk over the evening's excitement.
The thrill of that night is never to be forgotten. May Lambda share « with you.

Chi Chapter Has Nice Dance Before "Exams" By HELEN MASON, Syracuse University
There is very little that our chap- ter has to offer this month. The "Hu" epidemic was so prevalent that the University was closed earlier than usual before the Christmas vacation.
Then upon our return we had our final examinations.
We did manage to have our Christ- mas formal. Dances are the same the world over though some are nicer than others and ours was of the nice variety. This was due to the corn-
bined efforts of Phoebe Goodwin ('31), our new social chairman, and Helen Neubauer ('30).

toSaSRStiTtiUpsilon Member Honored by Ladies' Musical Club By ELIZABETH MORRIS, University of Washington
ac' sifaa One of the most thrilling and not- able distinctions Upsilon has received this winter, was the invitation for membership extended to Elizabeth Reeves ('29), by the Ladies' Musical Club even after the limited enroll- ment had been filled. Elizabeth plays the cello, and has already won for herself and for us a M u Phi Epsilon pin.
As I write this To DRAGMA letter, I am sitting at study table surround- ed by obedient pledges, pledges who are learning their chapter roll and alumnae chapters, pledges who are never forgetful of their excessive politeness. Yes, frosh training is at Upsilon. Pledgers, seven of whom will become sisters on next Sunday morning: Margaret Reed, Lois Ew- ing, Ellen Mudgett, Mary Genevieve Scott, Jane Kenyon, Mildred Larson, and Adelaide Cole.
After all this seriousness and pre- tended seriousness, we of Upsilon are planning a dance to remind the pledges that we still like them very much. The dance is to be a Logger and Lady idea; it is being given in a lumber mill, and is to be a very in- formal informal where plenty of cof- fee and "sinkers" are available. The programs are being made of rough
shingles and leather ties to further the big rough Western idea.
This winter has seemed rather quiet, due, 1 know, to the anticipa- tion of the seventeen days of Christ- mas vacation during which every one had a glorious time. There were par- ties at Mount Rainier, parties at homes, and just parties, and all were great successes.

They help take the place of Miriam Combs ('29), and Jean Green ('29), who will spend their last school semester in the home eco- nomics practice house in connection with their major subject. Miriam and Jean report the immaculate routine of that domicile to be somewhat dif- ferent from the happy-go-lucky at- mosphere in the Alpha O house, but think they will survive it.

Psi Looks Forward to Many Money-Making Schemes By LOUISE F. SEYFERT, University of Pennsylvania
The Psi chapterities are back to work again after one of those rare good holiday seasons which boasts flie receiving of many fraternity pins, and the announcement of the engage- ment of Evelyn Stevenson (Psi '28).
Psi's girls' moments are idle no longer, what with "exams" approach- ing, and better yet the initiation of our pledges, and card parties coming
and going. The Alpha O's are trying to fill their pqeketbook, and it takes many card parties and a subscription dance or two to do it. Pledges and members are working to meet some of the duties the New Year has thrust upon them. And is this New Year going to be their very best year? You'll see!

However, one of the ien guests took sick with spinal meningitis and a few days later died. Of course, we were all quarantined for four days until tests for germs f the disease could be made.

Mary Stein ('32). Formal initiation
was followed by a banquet breakfast
at the Hotel Osburn, where we were priveleged to have a most interesting and entertaining talk with Mable Robertson (Sigma), who had come down from Salem, Oregon, for the initiation. This was the second time we have had Mable Robertson with us this term. The first time she came down in the official capacity of Dean of Salem High School and stayed with us during the high school con- ference. She is always much appreci- ated.

Wednesday night, February 6 we had our first rush party which was a formal dance at the Grace Dodge Tea Hut. As it is against the rules to have crepe paper around, we did not have much decorating, but the Tea Hut looked darling just the same. We tried to carry out the idea of a Rose Dance and had several baskets of roses around with red candles above the fire-place. O f course the Alpha O banner was hung on the wall.

On our campus "different" parties have become as hackneyed that any- thing unusual is (paradoxical as it may seem) commonplace. Our Pan- hellenic does not permit the use of boys for rushing. Each sorority was allowed one night party, and one
afternoon one. Each, in our case, in- volved very little expense, and less effort.
The evening party was a progres- sive dinner. The only thing very for- mal about it was the dress. But girls must be beautiful once in a while, just to assure themselves it is not a, physical impossibility, Mary Mabry, one of our pledges, served the fruit cocktail at her home. We were for- tunate in securing the beautiful Shades Valley Country Club for the main course of the dinner. Everyone was in the balmiest of moods, and "wit and repertoire" ran riot around
the banquet table. After dinner we carelessly draped ourselves around the piano to sing some Alpha O songs. The girls seemed to enjoy just roam- ing around the beautiful club, chat- ting, dancing or doing as they pleased.
Annie L o u Fletcher, w ho gave Sweet Briar College the bump of its life during the second week of school
last fall, proved the value of her pres- ence here by using her home for a most delicious salad course.
Elizabeth Morris' colonial mansion parsonage home was the exquisite set- ting for the ice course. Fluffy dresses flitted gaily from one end of this
spacious home to the other. That charming informality again served as the flood gate to loose the tides of

We absolutely could not exist without our Elizabeths. W e have only seven n$ the chapter now—but we succeeded in pledging; another. By midnight we had tucked all the freshmen—exuber- ance and all—inside their own front doors. I'd stake a fortune on the as- sumption that many diaries were filled
with superlatives on January 31.
Mrs. Baskervill invited us to her lovely home for the afternoon party. Here again, informality was the kev- note of success. Several of our cele- brated alumnae assisted M rs.

more, she had better avoid the San Francisco epistle for the rest of the year. For this is the year when Sigma builds, and a new house is exciting actives, parents, and alumnae alike. The Alpha O family here resembles the Smiths and Joneses who have pur- chased a new car and who defy you to silence them in a recital of its merit.

In March the alumnae chapter will join with Sigma's Mothers' Club in their preparation for a large benefit card party which they are planning to hold early in April. Then no doubt some one else with another money raising scheme will bring forth a plan for something to duplicate the suc- cess of the rummage sale which we held in the fall. And so it goes. Money-raising is the pastime here.
We feel like reciting ''this is the house that card parties, rummage sales, alumnae donations., active donations, more card parties, rummage sales (and so on ad infinitum) built."

"I always love to go to the Greene

Their meeting followed this delightful among which was the Panhellemc tradition—the attendance was large luncheon in which the Alpha O's will and every body was in happy mood.

he January meeting of the Chicago uth Shore Alumnae wras held at the e of Lucretia Adomeit (Theta), there was an unusually large at- dance. The time was spent in king plans for a rummage sale to held the last of February and for promotion of other means of rais- money.
ll the Chicago Alpha O's spons- d and sold tickets for the perform- e at the Goodman Memorial eatre on February 6. A percentage the proceeds is to be divided among chapters represented according to
the number of tickets each sold. The same venture was decidedly successful last year.
Our February meeting will be an informal supper at the home of Janet Weissmiller (Zeta). In the evening we expect to go to Lucretia's, a short distance away, to sort and price the rummage sale material which she has allowed us to store in her attic. Most of our girls really enjoy these sales at which they meet with many laugh- able as well as tragic situations. We are hoping for the success of this one financially and otherwise.

a real interest in the welfare of these nine girls.
