ble. This year, for the first time, we have our own sorority rooms—and perhaps we are not proud of them! Throughout the past seven months we have been having sapper meetings and are very proud of the way we cook beans and coffee on our little stove. The most anticipated event of the AOII year (outside of our formal, of course), is our annual camp. In May, after our exams, we go to Crescent Beach, where we all spend a grand and glorious two weeks. AOIT is for- tunate in having two houses at Crescent, be- side each other, which makes a most ideal camp site. Five other sororities camp at Crescent, too, but they can not boast such a unique situation. While speaking of our bless- ings, there is one we must not forget. That is our alumnae. Beta Kappa long ago decided that our girls are the ideal "big sisters." In every venture of the active chapter, whether it be supper meetings, rushing parties, camp, initiation, philanthropic work, or even diffi- culties in our studies, we find our alumna- eagerly and enthusiastically encouraging and supporting our efforts.

The organization of a play day is so de- vised that the unit of competition is never that o f a "crack" team from o n e institution.

After a brief discussion of these statements, Miss Colcord concludes that th e first duty of government is to prevent phys- ical suffering and to provide against dete- rioration in the physique and morale of the people. This can best and most efficiently be done, she thinks, by a national welfare sys- tem, which will provide work a n d security.

Beta Kappa Chapter Aids Un- employed Girls' Club
THE TOP floor of IK West Hastings, Van-
couver . . . it is a large, many-windowed room, a place for action, not for retrospec- tion . . . its royal blue window drapes reflect the color of the massive mountains upon which it looks, and the waters of the busy
harbor . . .
It is a harbor itself—headquarters of the
Unemployed Cooperative Girls' Club.
This is its third year in operation, and it is
busier than ever.
When you step right from the elevator into
the big room you are at once struck by the quietly-busy and friendly atmosphere. No gay and noisy place is this, for serious things are in progress.
A bookcase stands in one corner, a piano in another. Bathed in the strong north light from the big windows stand two long work- tables around which are gathered groups of interested, intent and happy faces— faces that show the distinguishing characteristics of nearly every nation of the old world and the new.
They are young faces, for it has been deemed advisable to lower the upper age limit of the club to 35; it is difficult to find study- groups of equal interest to the sixteens and the sixties.
Big wicker armchairs, cushioned in attrac- tive chintz, stand informally about, indications of many a pleasant hour spent forming friendships. Light screens across the width of the room afford a partial shield to the many small tables that dot its further end, forming a combination luncheon and tea room to which a suite of smaller rooms is joined. There one finds the motto of the afternoons, "Polly put the kettle on," and a kitchen in which Polly may—and does—put: the kettle on, and many other things besides.
For companionship and a genial atmosphere that soon dispels mental depression are two of the most important offerings of the Cco- operative Club to the unemployed girls who find their way into its (old.
They do find their way there, too. There are 160 on the register now, and that number is rapidly increasing as those who found temporary employment during the Christmas rush begin to return, often bringing new ac- quaintances. The only qualification for mem- bership is unemployment, so there are only too many who are eligible.
It was the pitiable plight of the girl who comes to a strange city seeking for work and finding none, of the Vancouver girls who month after month meet nothing but disap- pointment in their search for employment, that brought the club into being in October, 1932. The Y.W.C.A. supplied the place, and various organizations and private individuals throughout the city have supplied materials for work, and books, furniture and food.
Now, 18 West Hastings is ready to wel- come any unemployed girl who needs some
59
place to rest, someone to whom to talk, some moments in which to forget the disappoint- ments of seemingly-endless refusals of work. The clubrooms are open from 9:30 to 5:30 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Cooperation and mutual profit combined with a wonderful spirit of esprit de corps are the foundations from which the success

of the club has grown. Its very motto shows strikingly the nature of this organization.
"From each according to her ability; to each according to her need," runs the motto. Though this happens to be one of the slogans, of the C.C.F. there is no tincture of party or creed.
It speaks of good sportsmanship, of a common interest and of many things which are heart-breaking when one realizes how pertinent they are; for the common interest is that of keeping a flagging courage alive and one's head held high, and the member- ship includes young women of nearly every walk of life, from those with university de- grees to those who have never entered high school.
The Unemployed Cooperative Girls' Club is not an employment agency. It is a "regu- lar" club, formed to keep its members from the hideous boredom of having nothing to do and from the crushing sense of not being needed in an uninterested and otherwise pre- occupied society. It is a social club run on the mutual profit plan, and its members are keenly aware of their respective responsibili- ties. They are proud of their club; and they are the sort of girls who will be back at work —and hard at it—the moment an opportunity arises.

alumnae of Alpha Omicron Pi meeting each month for luncheon and bridge in Des Moines. Iowa. There are about twelve who attend these meetings representing six differ- ent chapters, Zeta, Rho, Tau, Nu, Iota, and Phi.
Margaret Moore Gorton, State Chairman of Alumnae, meets with us whenever possible. She has advised us to continue as an informal chapter for the present with the hope that we may be installed as an alumnae chapter of A l - pha Omicron Pi. Several of us feel that our residence in central I o w a is not sufficiently permanent at present to warrant installation; in fact, one of the group, Kathryn Acton ( $ ) has recently been transferred into Chicago.
But in the meantime, we want you to know that we are having regular meetings the sec- ond Monday of each month and that Mildred Holmes Green (Mrs. V. J.), 1515 24th St., Des Moines, chairman, will be glad to hear from any Alpha O who can attend these meetings.
We have been collecting clothing and toys for the Kentucky Mountain people—and so we hope to do something toward the Nation- al Work.

garet Hiscock, Julie Kane, and Jean Seeley.
At the same time Miss Seeley, new president of the League, announced committee chairman- ships for next year. Miss Kane will head the house reception committee; Miss Hiscock the orientation committee; Ruth So nimustine (Oil '36), merit system committee; Louise French, '36, theater and arts committee; Martha Steen, '36, social committee; and Marjorie Morrison, '3b, publicity.

Alpha Omicron I'i, Alpha Xi Delta, Zeta Alpha and Gamma Phi Beta sororities rated in the order named. Georgina Karlson, '35, this year's chairman of the merit system committee, made the presentation.
Dean Alice C. Lloyd in her talk emphasized the important status of the independent women on campus. " I f this new form o f government is to be permanent and satisfactory," she stated, "it must do more to attract non-affili-
ated women. The organization of the Assem- bly this year has assisted a great deal along this line, particularly in a social way. Few in- dependent women, however, petitioned for of- fices." Miss Lloyd urged freshman and sopho- more independents especially to enter activi- ties, pointing out the opportunity offered for a close cooperation of sorority and non-affili- ated women on the campus.
President Alexander G. Kuthven, the other guest speaker on the program, stressed in his talk the need for developing group con- sciousuess. "Unless you can develop a gravM spirit, your activities and your influence in later life will be much impaired. I>emocracy is a struggle against selfish individualism."
Student speakers on the program included Billic Griffiths, '35, retiring vice president of the League, who gave a summary of the finan- cial strides made by the League since its founding in 1890. Of the League building debt, originally $50,000. only $672.64 remains to be covered. Mary Sabin, '35, chairman of the Undergraduate Campaign Fund, stated last night that the pledge would probably be com- pleted this year.
In addition to Miss Seeley, the other new officers of the League were officially installed. Seated at the speakers' table were Betty Chap- man, '36, vice president from the literary col- lege, Virginia York, '3b, vice president from the School of Education, Betty Scherling, '36, secretary, and Laura Jane Zimmerman (Oil 'Mi>,11eastuir.

AOII Interested in Installation of Phrateres at B. C. U.
PHRATERES is an organization founded at
the University of California at Los An- geles in 1924, by Dean Helen Mathewson Laughlin. Its name is the Greek word mean- ing "sisterhood," its motto is "famous for friendliness," its symbols and its ideals are fixed. Its aim is to unite, as far as possible, the women of the University into one club, with a common endeavor. There is nothing in Phrateres that in any way corresponds to rush- ing, and membership is open to any woman, fraternity or non-fraternity, who may so de-
sire. The Phrateres pin is oblong in shape, and of black enamel, with the Greek letter Phi superimposed in gold or pearls. It is a
eighth chapter, and with its installation at the University of British Columbia, Phrateres will become international. The advantages will he numerous. The fees are kept low so that any- one may join. Mcmhership may be of three ways: active members, who pay fees, are ini- tiated and entitled to wear the pin; associate members, who pay fees and join in all activi- ties but who are not initiated; and inactive members, who do not pay fees or become ini-
tiated, but may attend all functions. Active members only are eligible for office.
Theta Chapter is divided into seven sub- chapters, each bearing a Greek-letter name, and each with its own executive. The presi- dent of each chapter, together with the Phra- teres Executive Board of seven members, form the All-Phrateres Council. A formal and an informal dance, teas, and social meetings each week form the program. To justify their ex- istence, Vancouver Phratereans are endeavor- ing to aid Dean Bollert's Bursary Fund for

At most conventions we have at- tended there have been chapter delegates whose songs were quite unfamiliar to the rest of us—often lovely, haunting melodies or clever songs, just right for rushing parties. This year we won't wait to get to Ferry Hall
to introduce some new ones to you. Learn them now and sing them with the chapter who shares them with you.
Since space does not permit the printing of music score in this issue, we will save the verses that have been set to original music until a later number. Since most of the new songs have no titles, we will call them by the name of the chapter submitting them.

Ber- nice held her listeners enthralled with true human interest stories. Bertha Brechct Haydcn talked on the Polygraph or Lie Detector at the April meeting, and as she was directly con- nected with the freeing of an innocent prisoner through the use of the detector, it was an ab-
sorbing talk. It might be added that all reg- ular meetings were held at the chapter house and also that the girls worked on the layette for the Kentucky mountain babies during meet- ings.
Possibly the most interesting accomplish- ment of the year has been the unanimous rec- ommendation from the alumnae added to that of the actives for a chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi at Louisiana State University. A commit- tee of actives and alumnae went to Baton Rouge to look over the situation, made their report to Grand Council and the official com- munication from Grand Council has been sent to L. S. U.

A t the last meeting of the officers of our alumnae group, a nominating commit- tee was appointed for the coming elections on March 31,and Eleanor Hill ('34) was named chairman of the committee. Our new presi- dent is Doris Finger ('31). Saturday, April 13, the alumnae gave a bridge-luncheon at the chapter house in Berkeley in honor of Mrs. Leslie-Stahl (Mildred Hunter), the California State Chairman of Alumnae. There are now nine bridge groups meeting regularly every month, these groups numbering from eight to twenty-five members, three of which were or- ganized during the past year. The Alumnae are planning a dinner dance for May 11 in honor of the graduating seniors of Sigma Chapter. This will be the first dinner dance given by the San Francisco Alumnae Chapter in many years, and it is hoped it will be well supported so that it may become a yearly event. This will be the final social gathering of the year under the present officers, the new officers going in May 15.
Seattle Alumnae Have Round Robin Parties
By Ruth Holten Johnson, T
-4- THAT much-popular man about town right now, Robert Burns, spoke to us at our last meeting at Edna Harms' lovely home in Mt. Baker. "Bobby," as many of us remem- ber him on the campus 'round about '31, made a good-will tour around the world, debating some forty-two times. He came back with a most interesting tale of the conditions as he found them in the various classes of people in countries throughout the world. He also pre- sented a splendid picture of the Youth Move-
ments in foreign countries.
In order to bring closer coordination be- tween the actives and alumnae, we initiated the "Potluck Dinner." Once a quarter the alumnae group meet at the chapter house for dinner

the happenings around the house, but also be- come better acquainted with the girls. Our last dinner was one such, and "did we enjoy it!" I t brings us, who are out of school, a closer feelingof fraternalism. A new system of election was offered and accepted. Instead of having the secretary-treasurer as one office, it has now been divided into two offices. Also, the office of president has been somewhat changed. The vice president is elected with the thought in mind that she will the following year automatically become president. This is being inaugurated so that the vice president can throughout the year be groomed for the office of president. Because of her excellent guidance during the current year Hazel Davis was unanimously reelected to the office of president. And maybe you don't think our Clydene Morris, vice president, is no up-and- comer! She made the best auctioneer I have ever seen. The occasion was the white ele- phant sale we had at the house recently. You bought what she wanted to sell you whether you wanted to buy or not, and consequently the coffers enlarged by no small sum. W e are now planning a spring dancing party. "Alums" met at the Helen Malloy Tea Room for a benefit luncheon recently. It also was a chance for alumnae business women to meet during the rush of a business day. Upsilon has been
having quite a drive to collect shares in AOII stock. The nine trustees of the Corporation have become captains of teams, and are lined up with one thought in mind, to collect any extra pennies "alums" might have to pay on their shares—and they're pretty successful, too. Also, several members have been having "round robin" parties at their homes, and so help to pay for their shares. In this manner, the hostess charges a small fee for each guest and all the money she takes in applies on her share. The ones so far given have helped a lot. At a recent Mothers' Club luncheon, Mrs. Oswald Brown (A) lectured on her trip through South America and New Zealand. She has appeared before several clubs in the city and is much in demand because of her inter- esting descriptions of these countries. Mrs. Carlos Garcia-Prada (Kay Bradshaw, '31) and her husband, who was an instructor in the Spanish department of the University of Washington, have left for Colombia, South America, where M r . Garcia-Prada has ac- cepted the post of Instructor of Education of the province of Colombia.
Syracuse Alumnae Raffle Food Mixer

Ruth Miles presided and M rs. Baskervill gave a short talk on our beloved Founders, after which Ellen Jane Beavcns read a beautiful Founders' Day message from Stella George Stern Perry. The business meeting afterward was occasioned by the fact that Ruth Miles had to resign as president because her work with the Home Owner's Loan was being transferred to Baltimore. We were all sorry to have Ruth leave us—she has been active in the chapter since her graduation from Maryland. Emily Mitchell (K) was elected as her successor.

W estchester Alumna; Enjoy Home Meeting
By Angeline Bennett, N
IN pursuance of our policy of alternating
daytime and evening meetings in an at-
tempt to meet the convenience of all mem-
ning at the home of Winifred Caterson in Mount Vernon. This was our only card party of the year and was very well at- tended. The February meeting was also in Mount Vernon with Florence Hill. The very inclement weather made it our smallest meet- ing but the seven who got there had such an enjoyable visit as well repaid them f o r the extra effort. In March we are all went down to Mary Louise Hingsberg's in the Bronx for the annual election of officers. The new officersare: president, May Fouts; vice president, Winifred Caterson (N ) ; treasurer, Florence Hill (Z) ; secretary. Mvrtlc Ciccarelli (X); reporter of To DRACMA, Priscilla Ross (T). These officers were installed at a supper party at Mrs. Moses' home in New Rochelle this month. Previously we have had our installation and dinner at some hotel, but this time Mrs. Moses gave us a delightful supper and every- one voted it a great improvement except for the fact that no diet could hold out against the variety of foods that our kind hostess set before us.
