48 To DRAGMJane Hammack (ITA '31), became a representative to W.S.G.A. during her freshman year. She served for three years. She was class representative to the Executive Council during her first two years. NewMercer Literary Society claimed her, and last year she was their vicpresident. During her junior year she was staff sponsor of R.O.T.Con the May Day Committee, Point Recorder for W.A.A., dormitoryhouse president, a representative to Student Congress, and social chairman of Pi Delta.
This year she is secretary of the senior class, major's sponsor oR.O.T.C. and our corresponding secretary. Of course, she belongs toWomen's Senior Honorary Society, too.—BY MARGARET COOK
Ityth t^Miles Jfolds Two Publication Offices
Ruth Miles is one of our coeds whose friendly manner and winningpersonality have been instrumental in helping her gain a place of prominence on the campus. Furthermore, she possesses that essential spiriof democracy and understanding that goes to make a successful collegewoman. Ruth doesn't have a great deal to say, but if the way she performs her responsibilities is to be .taken as a criterion, then "Silence iscertainly golden."
Upon coming to the University of Maryland in 1927, she joined theNew Mercer Literary Society, the Student Grange, and became a mem-ber of Alpha Omicron Pi.
In her sophomore year, Ruth continued taking an active part in theactivities of her freshman year, and in addition was elected to. ©r andXA, honorary home economic and women's journalistic societies respec-tively. Also her second year witnessed the beginning of a collegiatepublication career.

ITA IIA E IIA
As a junior, Ruth was elected women's editor of The Reveille, secre- tary of XA, chairman of Theme on May Day Committee, and vice presi- dent of Alpha Omicron Pi. T o signalize her success, the senior class of 1930 intrusted her with the History Traditions of her own senior year. She was also sent as one of The Reveille representatives to the District of Columbia Press Association, held in Washington, D.C.
Now in her last year, Ruth holds a host of offices which bear witness to her ability and popularity. She is president of the Panhellenic Asso- ciation, president of Alpha Omicron Pi, in addition to holding member- ship in the New Mercer, Student Grange, and ©r.
When it was known that the Old Line was to become a reality, a woman's editor was necessary. One woman on the campus stood out as possessing the requirements necessary to fulfill such a position—Ruth Miles; thus she became the first woman to hold two major publications offices.
After graduation, Ruth expects to enter the field of merchandising, and specialize in buying for Department stores.—THE DIAMONDBACK
J^ambda J£as (§tar Dramatist
Lucile Morgan (A '32), is fast making a name for herself on cam- pus through her dramatic ability. No one can be in more than one play a quarter, and no freshman women can participate in campus plays. Therefore, you can see for yourselves how talented "Winks" must be when she, having been eligible for four quarters, has had co-leads in three plays, The Ivory Door by Milne, Granite by Dane, and Mrs. Bumpstead-leigh, and was the center of a skit written for her by Nel- son Carter and Douglas Gregg in the Big Game Gaities fall quarter. This skit was even called "Lucile's Act" and, since she is the only Lu-

This quarter she was elected to Masquers, a women's honorary dra-matic society, an unusual honor for a junior woman.

Catherine Blewer (E '31), distinguished herself by being elected president of the junior class and since then it seems that nothing can stop her from running away with all the honors Cornell has to offer.
She was one of the very few girls elected to Omicron Nu, honorary Home Economics Society, last year and was chosen by the faculty as the girl most worthy in scholarship, leadership, and college spirit to re- ceive a senior scholarship in Home Economics as well as the State Cashscholarship which she was already holding. She was elected to Mortar Board last year and chosen as Chairman of Activities for her senior year. As "Kay" is a very charming person and has time for everyone, we don't see how she is able to do all these things, but she does!



MARCH, 1931
It is hard to tell in so few words what Frances Meisse (E '31), has done for Cornell and for Alpha 0. As a freshman, Frances distinguished herself as one of the most outstanding girls, if not the most popular, in the freshman class. She was chosen president of her sophomore class, anofficewhichshowedherclassmatesjusthowworthyshewas. Noone knows just what long strides she would have taken last year had she not had to decline all nominations last year due to her health. She did, how- ever, accept the office of junior vice president to Catherine, junior presi- dent. Among other things, she was elected to Raven and Serpent in her sophomore year along with Vesta Rogers, another of our outstanding seniors. She has been a member of the baseball, basketball, soccer, and track teams and was last year elected to Penthama (honorary athletic society). She was vice president of W.A.A. Council last.year and has been elected president of W.A.A. for this year. She was a member of the Judiciary Committee last year and has participated in the Women's Musical Clubs. Frances is very popular, and she has shown herself to be a true leader in any phase of activity in which she participates.

<yllpha l^ho ^Members ^Are Journalists
As a freshman Elizabeth Stout (AP '31), took an active part in the affairs of the class as a member of the standing social committee. After a term of journalism, Elizabeth was appointed to the editorial staff of the Oregon Countryman, a student publication. In the spring of her sophomore year she was appointed to the chairmanship of the social committee of the Big Sisters, a movement fostered by the Y.W.C.A. to help freshman women become acquainted with the campus and the col- lege customs.
During her junior year she was chapter editor to To DRAGMA. She was chairman of the annual Y.W.C.A. Waffle Breakfast sponsored in five sororities to raise money for the organization. In the fall of 1930 she was appointed to the editorial staff of the Student Directory, a pub- lication of all the names of the students registered in the college. Later she worked hard as manager of the annual Women's Stunt show. Two years ago Elizabeth coached the Alpha Rho stunt to a winning place in the show. Last spring she was pledged to Kappa Kappa Alpha, na- tional art honorary, and was elected president of Y.W.C.A. and of Alpha Rho C h a p t e r .
Now she is president of Cap and Gown, senior women's honorary. Recently she spoke at the annual Education Exposition. She led sev- eral discussion groups and managed a tea for the high school girls as well.
Irene Griggs was chosen as one of the two most representative women in the junior class at Oregon State College by the faculty and students last year. The choice was undoubtedly just when we consider the list of activities of this Alpha Rho girl.

- e e - r l - - . l t t - OUR bookshelf has acquired three new volumes since we last told you about books. We mentioned at that time a book, one of whose co-editors is Joanna C . Colcord ( r ) . W e have been for- tunate enough to have received a copy of The Long View (Russell Sage Foundation, $3), and we want to tell you a little about it. Mary E . Richmond, her life and writings, make most interesting reading. Miss Colcord and Miss Ruth Z. S. Mann have prefaced each paper or group of papers with the story of the period of her life in which it or they were written. We enjoyed reading all of the biographical prefaces and then re-reading them together with the papers. We followed thus, the passing of her life and the unfolding of her personality and then the growth and change in her philosophy, thought and style of writing. A pioneer in social case work, she like her chosen profession, had humble, unschooled beginnings. She, too, "just growed." From childhood a passion for reading possessed her. During her last days she read or had others read to her. Her writings show the results of this great love. They are rich, perfectly worded (for she insisted upon the right word in every case) and vibrant.
Her enthusiasm, her foresight and will carried her from an assistant treasurership in the Charity Organization Society of Baltimore to a place in her profession where Smith College conferred upon her a degree of

Other papeof especial interest to us are "Friendly Visiting," "Cheerful Giver Transportation," "The College and the Community," and, of cours"The Long View." There are many more, some fuller of research, sommore technical, but surely none more vivid and thought-bringing.
May we say for the editors that they have done a beautiful piece work in their introductions to the papers. Without these well-writtebiographical prefaces, the papers would be of interest to the averareader only because of their individual excellency. Coupled with the itroductions they show development of thought and effort with the ufolding of Miss Richmond's life.

Sixty Years in Kappa Alpha Theta
The Council of Kappa Alpha Theta was kind enough to send youeditor a volume of their history. We have gone through it with almoas much enjoyment as we might have had had it been our own. Thhistory starts with the genesis of fraternities followed by a chapter othe beginning of co-education. The story of the fraternity founding angrowth is told in detail and yet is not boresome with the weight of it. Thbook is profusely illustrated, giving us almost a pictorial history of thfraternity. It was written by Estelle Riddle Dodge and edited by Pearl Green.
The Fraternity Editor's Handbook
This book stands on our desk next to the Alpha Omicron Pi directorIt is a necessity, we feel, to good magazine editing. We almost knothe contents by rote and yet we find that we want to check up on edtorial style or printers' marks occasionally. The book was edited bLeland F . Leland, and your editor had the privilege of helping a bwith the copy—enough so she was thanked in the preface—the only fmale mentioned.
We wish the fraternity could send a copy to each house to becoma part of the chapter property—to be read and digested' by each incoming editor. There is no question in our mind that hours of our timwould be saved, were the contents well noted. Of course, the book meant primarily for the national editor, but such chapters as "ChapteEditor Relationship," "The Chapter Publication," "The Convention Publication," and "Rules for the Preparation of Copy" would be well worta chapter editor's reading.
The book is attractive in its green and gold binding and is well ilustrated.

Then curls of smoke rise from the side of a mountain. Nothing else indicates the presence of life or warmth. Through the branches of dark firs on another slope a light twinkles, goes out, and twinkles again as the wind blows the boughs back and forth. Two sunsets there are to see, two pictures of fading, blending color . . . one in the sky and an identical one in the lake.
Faintly, very faintly in order not to disturb the far call of a dove, music sifts through on the evening breeze. With abrupt finality darkness comes in to put its creatures to bed and seal the day. Music takes up the rhythm of the wind, calls us back from our wanderings, and blends with the thin swish of dancing feet in the softly lighted ballroom of Troutdale-in-the-Pines.

which are the birthright of childhood. It is only in service, in cheerful and unselfish usefulness and giving, that we can fulfill our destiny and purchase our right to membership in our fraternity and in that greater organization which David Grayson labels the "Fraternity of Man."
To quote David Grayson again, we discover in his Adventures in Friendship that:
"Friendship (and we may substitute the word Fraternalism), it seems to me is like happiness. She flies pursuit, she is shy, and wild, and timid, and will be best wooed by indirection. Quite unexpectedly, some- times, as we pass in the open road, she puts her hand in ours, like a child. Friendship (Fraternalism) is neither a formality nor a mode: it is rather a life."

I shall always be grateful that I got to Peking (now Peiping) when I did, instead of waiting until some later time. The city and its treasures are going to pieces so rapidly for lack of money, and because of the harsh treatment many of the places have received at the hands of the soldiers or are receiving from their greedy and uncontrollable custodians who will sell for cash anything that they can lay their hands on, that it is a serious question as to how long the glory that was Peking's can endure. The removal of the capital to Nanking during the past summer was the culminating one of a series of blows from which the poverty- ridden city is finding it practically impossible to recover. Everyone and everything is suffering. One can almost watch the disintegration, it is so rapid. And no one seems able to stop it.

THE next time that Junior becomes stubborn and begins to cry for somethinthat he should not have, the best thing that the young mother can do is to disrgard him and make believe that she does not know he is crying. Then, after hquiets down and learns that all the crying and whimpering did him no good, thyoung mother should approach the child and in a rather casual way ask: "WeJunior, have you finished crying?" And that is about all that there should be to All the scolding and admonishing does not accomplish half as much as a dose of indifference at the proper time.
That is the advice that Miss Katherine N. Bickford (A), a graduate of thNursery Training School of Boston, gave yesterday to a group of women at thheadquarters of the Young Women's Christian Association, at Stuart and ClarendoStreets, during her talk on "You and Your Child." "Indifference," said Miss Bicford, "is the only weapon that the adult has and which is not shared by the chilIt teaches the child, when properly used, that he is not using the best methods gain his ends. But if the parent fails to use this weapon and allows the childcrying to influence her, the result will be constant crying by the child for thothings outside his reach; and soon Junior will rely chiefly on that method to thexclusion of the powers of reasoning that should be developed early in his life."Miss Bickford explained to her listeners that for a mother to become succesful as a child disciplinarian she must bring herself down to the mental le,vel of thchild. It is only in this way that she can understand the motives that lead thchild to do the things he does.—Boston Post

SELECTION of a theme for the 1931 Reveille has already been made, and the members of the staff led by Irvin Wolf, editor; Minna Cannon (IIA), wom- en's editor; and Jerry Geary, business manager, are off to an early start with an- other outstanding yearbook as their goal. A number of campus views have already been taken, and other work is progressing well.
Two years ago The Reveille was awarded a Class "A" rating by the Central In- terscholastic Press Association, and last year's annual which was well received by the students, is also expected to be given an excellent rating.

SPRING seems to be here though the month is February and in this northervillage Mother Earth is usually tucked down under a deep blanket of snowThe hills beyond the lake are misty blue and there is a band of azure water alonthe shore. The ice beyond is steely and ripply—which means, according to the olfishermen, that it will be gone before long. The sun is high and warm, the browearth oozy, and a patch of grass in the park beyond is almost as green as thougwe had May days.
My neighbor is washing windows—our own rugs are on the clothes line. AnI sit in my study and think and think of a subject for an editorial. This isn't "lecturing" weather. It's a day to live and love and learn.
There, now, I have found a subject—to live and love and learn. And I'm gointo speak first to the girls who are having the best opportunity to do all three—the undergraduates. I shan't say much about the second subject because, according to the engagements announced in each issue, you know something about thaBut do you know about living and learning?
You have been told again and again to live fully while you are in school. Mosof you crowd enough things into twenty-four hours to believe that you are doinjust that, but is that what I mean! Y ou may never again have the opportunity tsearch for truth that you are having now. You are in the heart of a supposedly cutural and intellectual center. Y ou have around you teachers, laboratories, librarieand yet I wonder how many of you seek beyond the daily assignment. You knowyou may learn more than love on a starry night if there's a telescope nearbyyou may know the wonders of rare old books if there's a treasure room in youlibrary, you may discover the habits of wild life if you have a natural science museum or exhibit.
If you are fortunate enough to be in a city, you have the benefits of art galeries, music, good plays, conservatories, beautiful churches, yet I wonder howmany of you have seen them. Are you waiting until you go back as a summevisitor? Y o u may go off to a tiny town after you are graduated, and the memories you will carry away of things of beauty will hold you above the snobberythe petty gossip of it. Hurry, live and learn while there is yet time.
And now, alumna?, don't we get into a rut? Sometimes life seems to be prettmuch a round of going to the office and off to a bridge party or a dance or meaand dishes and babies. But we are never too old to live and learn. And howmuch we have to find out if we want to bother. They say that the ice on thlake sings as it breaks up. I want to hear it!

Pi Member Is King at Carnival Ball
By EVELYN MAGRUDER, Newcomb College
Pi has just had its annual dance, which proved a most enjoyable affair. It was a formal, given at the Orleans Club, with music by Sidney's Band, one of the best known negro orchestras in the south. Hie Orleans Club is a beautiful colonial home on St. Charles Avenue, and with the dim lights, long flowing evening gowns, and soft music, the effect was lovely. Altogether it was delightful, and since it took place only a few days after "exam" week, we feel that it did much to restore everyone's spirits again.
Of course we are all very excited over the many Carnival celebrations, and are having a wonderful time going to balls
.and parades. But we can hardly wait for Mardi Gras, the big day of the whole season, when it is the custom of the dif- ferent fraternities to organize truck-rides
and follow the parade of Rex. And Newcomb always has her own particular Carnival Ball whose king this year is to be one of our members, Janie Price.
We have something else to look for- ward to also. Easter will be here be- fore we realize it, and, as usual, we expect to have a house-party on the Gulf Coast. In fact we have already made arrangements for a house and are plan- ning all sorts of entertainment for the week-end.
Right now we are busy with prepara- tions for a benefit bridge party, the pro- ceeds from which are to be added to our funds for philanthropic work. Each member of the chapter is responsible for selling tickets for one table, and we have hopes of making it a very successful af- fair.
I A large silver cup adorns our mantel. We have it because nine Alpha O's gave some of their ever busy and important time to get it for us. Those nine girls in- clude Ada Munroe, Mary Green, Helen Wilkinson, Evelyn Noble, Marjorie Jer- vis, Iris Jacob, Norma Hill, Betty Flocke, Dorothy Welsh, and Mildred Erb. Five hard games outside of regular college ac- tivity for the honor of the fraternity meant competition. And the last game which was the final battle was one of the most exciting basketball games one could wish to witness. The team work was brilliant and as several university boys phrased it, "Helen and Mary knew their baskets."
Examination period is over; we are now settling down to the work of the new semester with much seriousness. Our first rush party was held on February 9, at the house. There was such a charm- ing informal group it turned out to be great fun. Three sorores gave a skit written by one of us, and that made such a hit! Although we have only two new initiates from last semester, Elizabeth Schell and Dorothy Robinson, it looks as if we are going to add quite a few more to the list this next semester.
Edith Collins presented the house with a statue of the "Winged Victory" with which we are delighted. Its significance has a deep sentiment for us.

Kappa Builds Sun Parlor on Lodge
By MARIE COLLENS, Randolph Macon Woman's College
The last memorable occasion for Kappa chapter was a Christmas party the Sun- day before everyone left for the Christ- mas holidays. The chapter was sur- prised with a radio, a gift from the fresh- men, which made the party merrier than ever. We also received a mahogany davenport table and a radio table from the sophomores.
Marguerite Collens ('33), surprised everyone by marrying Prentice Clark of Monroe, Louisiana, during the Christmas holidays. They are living with M r . and Mrs. J . W . Collens, the bride's parents, until their home is completed.

Ruth Frantz was manager of the properties in the last university play, and Jane assisted her Helen Harrison had an editorial published, recently, in The Daily Ne- braskan. Eloise Fairhead and Allene Mumau received appointments on the advertising staff of The Awgwan, the
university humor publication.
Halcyon Sammons was selected out of a group of seventy Nebraska coeds to be one of the twenty models in the Coed Follies. Jane Wickersham had the honor of having her skit accepted for the Coed Follies. It goes under the name of "Wick and How."
The actives have done their share in activities. Julia Simanek was chosen by the Student Council as one of the six girls to act on the Prom Committee. The Prom is one of the big events of the year and closes the formal season here. We don't see how Julia has time to do every-
thing she does, but she is always able to do one more thing somehow.
Madeline Wostoupol and Lydia Smith took part in Aladdin, the last Children's "Theater play. Both of the girls are juniors, and we are very proud of the ^reputation they are making in the Dra-
matic Department.
' Elizabeth (Betty) Evans has the lead in The Patchwork Girl oj Oz, the next i Children's Theater play, besides taking
part in The Ladies of the Jury, the next university play. Pauline Gellatliy, one of our alumna?, directs the Children's Theater plays, but that doesn't mean that Alpha O's don't have to earn their parts.
The pledges gave the traditional Christ- mas house dance, December 13. Christ- mas bells, mistletoe, green and red lights and red and white balloons added greatly to this festive occasion.
We had our party for active Alpha O's and pledges December 17, at ten-thirty P.M. Santa always leaves everyone some toy, with poems attached, on the tree. Fraternity mothers and daughters ex- change gifts at this party, too.
Ruth Duensing was chairman of the annual party we give to children who don't always get remembered by the Good Saint. W e entertained about twenty, the afternoon of December 18. The photographer, Mr. MacDonald, came over and took pictures of the children around the tree. Lydia Smith told them stories, and when Julia Simanek came in as Santa Claus, you should have seen their eyes shine. She brought them each two useful gifts, two toys and a big box of candy. When they had unwrapped everything and shown their presents to each other, we bundled them up and took them home. This is really one of the best times we have, and Mother Pullman ended it gloriously by giving us a Christ- mas dinner when we had taken the last child home. The day stands out as one of the brightest of the holiday season.

Our rush season was exceptionally suc- cessful, with the pledging of nine girls: Beverly Bishop, Betty Bunting, Jean Coughlin, Bernice Heywood, Katherine Kuchman, Ruth Milburn, Ruth Traugh, Marion Selig, and Winifred Solinsky. Our annual spring informal was given in January in honor of the pledges.
We were equally successful at initia- tion, taking in eight girls: Pricilla Davis, Gladys Dowden, Helen Dungan, Anne
Hickey, May Layne, Marjorie McCargar, Kitty Mclver, and Estelle Perry. Rose Marx acted as toastmistress at the ban- quet following, and representatives of all four classes gave short talks.
On February 9 we celebrated Founders' day with reminiscences by alumnas and a clever skit of the "Gay 90's" put on by the underclassmen under the direction of Edith Musser ('33).

We are beginning the new term with renewed resolutions and aspirations for another good scholastic term as we be- lieve this past one has been for us, and we hope we may be near the top in the inter-sorority scholastic record.
We were very fortunate this year in our choice of dramatic freshmen. Marion Miller played the leading role in the a n - nual freshmen's Alice in Wonderland, while Ethel Browne and Esther Marsh
.also had parts and Barbara Kirby helped on properties. The play itself went off well.
We are looking forward to the intra- mural basketball season which will com- mence in a few weeks. Marty Arthur
('32), is chairman of the competition. Epsilon is planning to have a first-rate team, and we are going to strive hard for that cup again this year.
A very exciting thing happened to us a few weeks before finals. It has nothing at all to do with examinations and yet it did help to relieve the monotony of study and keep us in good spirits. I am speak- ing of our new Majestic radio-victrola for which we received half payment as a gift from our pledges. And it was their idea. We initiated it with an informal victrola dance the week-end before finals. It was the first victrola dance we have ever had and every minute of it was enjoyable.

We varied "gone undecided," and we were thrilled to pledge her just before the wedding and take her with us to the Stanford Chapel and to the reception afterwards. The wedding was beautiful and the reception, held in the Women's Clubhouse, was lovely. Claire Pierce, Antoinette Schulte, Peggy Main, Ruth Patterson, Harriet Day and Pat Crofoot served at the re- ception.
I must tell about some of the other events we've had. Just before Christmas vacation on Saturday afternoon, Decem- ber 13, we gave our annual Christmas party for poor children. Each girl in the house fills a stocking and buys a present for one child. The children came at 2:00 o'clock and stayed until 5:00 o'clock. W e renewed our childhood and amused the campus at large by playing "Fanner in the Dell," "London Bridge is Falling Down," and "Tag" on the front lawn, to say nothing of "Hide-

Colorful lights were entwined in the P'ne branches on the staircase; a Christmas tree, wreathes, holly, and of course mistletoe added to the decorative scheme. Need we say we had a wonder-
ful time?
Our annual slumber party with its
slam presents, senior skit, and refresh- ments, was held two nights before Christ- mas vacation. Vacation was over all too quickly. On our return we found that our Christmas fund had been used for paint and some ambitious city girls had painted our wicker furniture.
Several Alpha O's attended the Senior Ball and fraternity formals which quite made up for the recently completed "exams."
More surprises! Painting seemed to have been popular this last year among the girls at 603, for to start out the new semester we have added to our wicker set, a newly-painted dining room which we owe to the energy of those who re- mained here between semesters. We are quite proud of our new dining room, and our cozy study with its fairly well- stocked bookcase.

At Christmas we provided a family

We held our Founders' Day banquet at a tea shop downtown on December 8. Eugenia Garratt Page was toastmistress. Other speakers were Mary Genevieve Scott, Edith Beachwood, Beatrice M c - pherson Lomax, and Margaret Bare. On January 29, the faculty met at Upsilon for dinner.
Mrs. Karl Steiner (Ted Cole, '30), stopped at Upsilon on her way back home from an extended visit in the east. She lives, with her husband, at Mt. Baker Lodge.
Barbara Trask Clark visited us from Roswell, New Mexico, recently, bring-

By MARINTHA SAVLEY, Vanderbilt University
just
The most important event of the Alpha O's this term was initiation, which took place January S. As is customary in Nu Omicron, the actives gave a buffet supper in honor of the new initiates. Immedi- ately afterwards we had the formal serv- ice which made six lovely girls permanent members of Alpha Omicron Pi. These girls were Louise Cecil, Martha Farns- worth, Elizabeth Hill, Virginia Lewis, Mary Eleanor Rodenhauser, and Doro- thy Willet. They all seemed duly im- pressed and quite happy, but no more so than we.
On the following Friday AOII gave a formal dance in honor of the new Alpha O's. Memorial hall was beautifully deco- rated in colors of red and white—and as always, it was proclaimed to be the best of the season.
Preceding the dance several of the members took their escorts to an at-

Josephine McKelvey and Marion Hill were hostesses to Three Arts Club for its last meeting. Martha Roden, Laura Dis- mukes, and Francis Rodenhauser will en- tertain for Bachelor Maidens on Febru- ary 13. The two clubs, though of differ- ent nature, are quite outstanding on the campus, and our girls take great pride in entertaining them.
The sorority basketball tournament is to begin on February 10. Alpha O's have put in much hard practice, and we know they will make a good showing.
By reading the following clipping taken from the Nashville Banner one may see why we are proud of Francis Roden- hauser. "Forty Vanderbilt juniors in the academic and engineering schools have made 'cum laude' grades during their first two years in Vanderbilt, according to the

Alpha Sigma Initiates Thirteen Pledges
By ISABELLE CROWELL, University of Oregon
Alpha Sigma has decided that thirteen is a lucky number. The reason is that we initiated thirteen girls into member- ship last month. The initiates enter- tained the members with a surprise din- ner before initiation. We didn't know what was up when we received cards with "The Silver Slipper" printed on them and the instructions to present this at the door. The dining room doors were mysteriously lined with black, but after the doorman gave a knock a flap was opened, we were given the "once over," and the door was opened enough to let us in. Then we discovered that we were in a "speakeasy," and that the pledges were there in amazing outfits to
guide us to our tables and wait on The girls are still keeping busy wthe old activities, and some new onare added. Katherine Liston had a pin a play; Dorothy Morgan is also inplay and on a committee for the Frodance; Mary Margaret Stevenson chairman of the decoration commitfor the Frosh Glee.

By BERNICE ALEXANDER, University of Oklahoma
Xi has had a most successful rush season, pledging the following girls: Ag- nes Chandler, Rustin, Louisiana; Doro- thy Freye, Tulsa, Oklahoma; Rose Mary Rolls, Florida. The most attractive feature of our rush was a formal candle- stick dinner. The motif was carried out in the center-piece, favors and courses. We had a pre-holiday house party and entertained prospective rushees.
Dorothy Boatwright, treasurer, has re- cently brought honor to Xi by being elected to X , English honorary.
Our Founders' Day banquet was one of the prettiest affairs we have had this year. The programs were printed on red and white paper in the shape of an 'AOII pin. Three girls, a member, a pledge, and an alumna gave clever talks on "What AOII means to me."
The same week-end X i had a bazaar
in which both actives and alumnshowed their interest. The gifts sent were attractive and sold successfuhelping considerably our gift to the poat Christmas.
Second semester has brought us tnew members whom we are very proto have on the O.U. campus. MadeleCoquet is a transfer from Nu Kappa, aElizabeth Dooley has returned from Hlywood.

Ellen Jane Keiser ('26), gave a tea for the AOII actives and alumna? during the holidays. This was a good opportunity for us to see each other. Jane ('31), and Ernestine ("Ernie") Hammack ('34), al- so gave a tea for the active girls of Wash- ington.
Gwendolyn ("Gwen") Sargent ('31), our house manager, Rosalie Goodhart ('32), assistant house manager, and Ruth Miles ('31), our president, spent busy days during vacation in selecting new furniture for the chaperone's suite.
Our Washington alumnae chapter gave a bazaar in November to raise money for us. They had attractive things to sell, many of them hand made, and it was well attended. The chapter also sold
Christmas cards, and were very success- ful.
Before the holidays we gave a rum- mage sale to raise money for philan- thropic work. Beside the Christmas par- ty for the poor children, we paid for milk to be supplied to a poor family.
We have decided to organize our pledges into a study group so they will be encouraged in upholding Pi Delta's scholastic standing. They meet from Monday to Thursday evenings from seven-thirty to nine-thirty.
Recently the Y. W. C.A. of our Uni- versity made a drive to raise money for an extensive program next year. Pi Delta went on record as contributing one hun- dred per cent.

Tau Delta Initiates at Sunrise Service
Tau Delta spent the first week-end in February at Camp Mary Munger, where six girls were initiated at sunrise on Sun- day morning. This sunrise service was different from anything our chapter has ever had and proved to be very impres- sive. The girls who were initiated are: Linda Moore Sessions, Alice Burton, Elizabeth Bowen, Grace Tyler, Martha Key Caldwell and Minnie Elliott. We are proud to call these our sisters since we feel they stand for all our principles.
Not having a sorority house, it is diffi- cult for the whole chapter to get together very often, so lunch is served in the rooms every Monday to both pledges and actives. The girls "take turn about" preparing the lunch—two having charge of it every Monday.
The Alumna? chapter is having a bene- fit bridge at Mrs. Baskevill's house Feb- ruary 14 to help buy furniture for T a u Delta's new apartment. It's great to have such alumna?; they just can't do enough for us!
Annie Sue Herndon ('31), has recently been elected a member of the Scroll and vice president of the Co-ed Council.

By JANET MARTIN, University of California at Los Angeles
First mention in this chapter letter should be given the dance which the pledges gave in honor of the actives dur- ing the Christmas holidays. It was held at the Biltmore (which is to Los Angeles as the Ritz is to New York), and turned out to be one of our most successful formats. The favors were clever sterling
silver-backed pocket combs, each comb
bearing the initial of the man receiving it. The pledges certainly received con- gratulations on this new undertaking.
Our ever-helpful and industrious Mothers' Club surprised us recently by giving us some good-looking furniture for our rather barren front "stoop". The house almost broke into factions trying to decide whether the furniture should

stay on the porch or be moved to the patio. As yet, the question is still an open one.
Mrs. V an Winkle, the mother of Lucile (Rip) Van Winkle ('31), gave us some Majolica pottery—also for the porch. She brought these handsome jardinieres back from Italy this summer. She brought back the pottery, and "Rip" brought back an infection which kept her out of college last semester, but she's back again now.
The alumna; presented us with some
T o DRAGMpalms and a rubber tree so that the potery would not serve merely as a rceptacle for cigarette stubs and similuseless articles; so now our front porchperennially festive.
Not long ago several of the girls froLambda visited in Los Angeles. Althougsome of them were unable to stay velong, quite a few of us were able to bcome acquainted with Lucile Morgan anGreta Reed, for Muriel McKinney gaa charming tea for them.

By ELIZABETH BEASLEY, Southwestern University
The first week after Christmas holidays of February 17. We are going to giour pledges gave us one of the best par- ties in years. They called it a "carnival" party, and we wore any and all kinds of costumes. Everything from mermaids to pierrettes danced in a mass of confetti. The house was gay with halloons and crepe paper, and midway of the evening we feasted on "hot dogs" and "cokes" and candy kisses.
Examinations came hot-footed after the party. The active chapters grades have not been averaged as yet. We are hoping we will win the scholarship cup we missed by one hundredth of a point last year. So far as we know we stand a pretty good chance of doing it. W e are very, very proud of our pledges. Ten of tbe sixteen made a high C aver- age at least and passed all of their work.

Alpha Rho Wins Second Prize at Stunt Show
By OSA LAUTNER, Oregon State College
One Saturday night we came home richer by a $20 gold piece—we had won second place in the annual Women's Stunt Show. Our skit was called "Crip- pled Careers," and portrayed the meta- morphosis of a gay, carefree freshman into a broken-down senior on crutches.
When the curtain opened happy freshmen with green ribbons serpentined onto the stage before four ominous-looking profes- sors. These professors promised to give the students grand careers and make great men and women of them. After the freshmen left, old Father Time limped painfully across the stage, signi- fying the passage of four years. Six crip- pled seniors came hobbling in with ban-
dages on their feet and patches on thefaces. Doing a grotesque clog ocrutches, the chorus created laugh aftelaugh from the audience.
A very impressive and beautiful initiation was held Sunday, February 1. Naomi Mayfield ('33), Amy Booth ('34and Wynnetta Guthrie ('34), are our nemembers. All of us were inspired athe lovely banquet which followed.

By H E L E N CROSBY, Our meetings for 1930 ended with a.
small Christmas party to which we all brought gifts for the apartment, thereby collecting quite a number of much- needed supplies for the kitchen.
On January 29, Mary Keeling, one of our new sisters entertained us with a very delightful party. Initiation took place in the apartment January 31, and since then we have had ten new sisters:
University of Toronto
Marion McLennan, Margaret McNiven and Billy Wright. Our banquet in honor of the initiates took place the same night at the Royal York Hotel in the same room in which we had our first initia- tion banquet. Ida Hinds was our toast- mistress, and Adelaide Graham told us the interesting story of the founding of AOIT. Victoria Jackson welcomed our initiates and, on behalf of the alumnaj. presented us with a red banner bearing a
gs n- es
We do not have a new house to boast, but we are very proud of our progress in making our present one more attractive. Upon our return after the holidays, new hardwood floors met our eyes, and we felt like millionaires. Just recently we have received two lovely new lamps, and reports come that new drapes are on the way- Our kitchen redecoration is com- plete, and the room is very bright and cheery.
To go back before the Christmas holi- days, though, three of us were members of the Lord's Table at the Old English Christmas dinner in the Dining Com- mons. E . Louise Hoffeditz ('31), was Lady McAllister while Barbara Vincent
('33), and Mary Belle Zahn ('32), served as lords of their respective classes.
Elizabeth Schwalbe ('31), one of our new girls, was elected to n r A , honorary fine arts society.
Shortly before we went home, we had our annual Christmas party in the home qf our patroness, Mrs. E . C. Woodruff, and made the acquaintance of our new patroness, Mrs. J. A. Sperry. We ex- changed ten cent gifts with appropriate rhymes on them, provoking much merri- ment. Mrs. Woodruff served us a de- licious supper, and we all had a most enjoyable time.
When we returned from Christmas va-
cation, we were hurled into a whirl of term papers and final "exams." But we came out of them with surprisingalacrity and made our preparations for a week- end cabin party at the Red Rose Rod and Gun Club, to which one of the girls' father belongs. T h e club house is only some fifteen miles from State College, but it is situated in a gorgeous spot in a valley between the third and fourth mountain ridges. About a mile's walk from the camp is Whipple's Dam, where we skated or, shall I say, tried to skate. The few experienced ones in the crowd had many eager pupils, and their teach- ing was quite a success. Alice Cullnane went along with us and was just the best sport imaginable. She proved herself capable in domestic lines and helped cook very tempting dishes.
And, speaking of the meals, our "Home Ec" sisters proved their merit, once and for all, with their efficient management of the culinary arrangements.
After a very strenuous week-end of skating, coasting, hiking and similar ac- tivities, we returned with our various ap- pendages rather glowingly decorated with black and blue marks and iodine. Every- one groaningly affirmed, however, that the week-end was a huge success, and we are all in favor of bigger and better cabin parties in the future.

Alpha Tau Active on Denison Campus
By FRANCES E . BINGHAM, Denison University
The past month has been an extremely eventful one for Alpha Tau. The com- ing of "exams" did not phase us when it came to giving parties. January 17 was the date of our informal buffet sup- per dance. It was held at the Buxton Tavern. The parlor of the tavern was attractively decorated with many vari- colored balloons which furnished enter- tainment by bursting in the first few min- utes of the party. The orchestra was very good, and we all enjoyed the danc- ing. Later in the evening a delicious supper of salad, sandwiches, cakes, and coffee was served.
Our pledge formal was a very recent event. It was given at the house on February 7. All of our pledges were there. T h e only decorations were the blue lights which lighted the floor. The music was furnished by the Phi Delt orchestra, and refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes, and punch were served during the intermission. Our programs were black with a golden moon, a man

. . . . life must always be full of risks! We may smile, therefore, when it remarked that the future developments of the home are risky. Birds in the aand fishes in the sea, quite as much as our own ancestors on the earth, have alwafound life full of risks. It was the greatest risk of all when they insisted on cotinuing on the old outworn ways and so became extinct. If the home is an experment and a risky experiment, one can only say that life is always like that.1

their college days. Then Ruth Crary, Olive Cutter Towle, wife of Commander
w ]jo came up from Palo Alto where she is making her home, sang two very beau- tiful songs. Ruth, you all know, is a Si^ma girl. T h e next feature included a series of skits put on by the Freshmen jn the active chapter, and I can assure you that they were highly entertaining. And then to make it a real birthday party Sigma had its birthday cake, a big white frosted one with many tiny red candles. This and coffee were served to us in the living room of our still "new house." I am sure that you would like to know who were there so I will list the names, but will not attempt to give the classes: Mildred Winterbotham (KO), May Pierce, Connie Morris Mason, Electa

son Pletcher, Mildred Bell, Dorothy Mills, Alfreda Sparboro, and Delight Frederick. From this list of congenial Alpha O's you cannot question the good time that we all enjoyed.

Homecoming
back to campus this year. Some came for the game, but didn't stay for the banquet that evening. W e caught a glimpse of Helen Roberts ('30), K a y Browne ('30), and Margaret Harlan
('30), sitting around the fireplace to- gether. Betty Schraeder Thornton (Ex. '30), Helen O'Shea Mitchell ('29), and Emma Morrison DuPlan ('30) were there for a short time.
Olive Ogren (Ex. '31), and Richolene Hughes ('30), drove down together for the day. Mary Leslie Robinson ('25), who teaches at Washington, Illinois, High School, was also at the banquet, but the majority of those present were town alumnae.
The Champaign and Urbana Alumnae have been devoting a great deal of time to philanthropic work. We found an excellent way to raise money for this work by having food sales at the Alpha Omicron Pi house, for the actives. U n - der the direction of Angeline Saling Mit- chem ('28), we were divided into groups to make sandwiches, cake, and coffee, to sell at the house.
The money earned is being used to take care of two poor high school girls, one in Champaign, and one in Urbana, who would otherwise be unable to attend school. W e had so successfully collected clothing for them, that there was more than enough for the two girls. The sur- plus was used in outfitting two other needy girls.
Ermina Smith Price ('19), spent most of the summer touring to far places. Her young son was attending St. John's Camp in Wisconsin, and while he was there, Ermina and the doctor went up to see that Junior was getting the proper food, et cetera. By the number of medals Junior brought home with him this fall, we should say that he had had one large time.
In November, Gladys Saffel Barr
('17), was hostess for a Sunday tea thathe town alumnae gave in honor of thnew freshmen pledges. Frances FowleBrowne ('19), and Grace DallenbachFinfrock ('16), had charge of the refreshments. We hope to make this anannual affair, if our Urbana alumnagroup remains at its present size.

Margaret Kreisel Powell ('22), writes, "We are no longer at 3 Pierrepont Ave- nue, but have rented a house and bought our own furniture. My husband is an electrical engineer with the St. Lawrence Valley Power Corporation, which has merged with the Niagara Hudson Power Corporation. I haven't done any teach- ing since I was married.

They both went back to the Colgate

Olsen, and Edith Gessler Happ, came to see me and stayed for lunch. The nice part about it was they furnished the lunch. Then we sat on my two-by-four porch and played bridge. Of course, Mildred and Ina were doing some of the tricks they had learned in contract bridge. Mary L o u Olsen was here, too, and she went in the Radburn swimming pool which is just across the street. Their visit was all too short for me.
Ethel Williams ('23), who married a Cornell agriculture man, now a teacher at Trumansburg, New York, has three chil- dren.

Helen Howalt Lowe ('25), is having a grand and glorious time with her two youngsters. Just picture Helen wheeling baby Mary with Johnny Gay gamboling about in the snow.
Ted Petri Olrich ('24), has moved back to Tarrytown, New York. T ed always keeps me in news because she moves around so much. Ed and I visited Ted one Saturday afternoon and stayed for dinner. Of course, everything was cooked just right and tasted "great".
I am just staying home this year and keeping house. Ruth Merchant asked me if I still sing "Trees" The answer is, yes, and I still do some singing in pub- lic. Every Tuesday night I conduct a glee club at the Y.W.C.A. Dramatics, as always, keep me very busy. Our club gave Broken Dishes, a Broadway pro- duction of last year, and I had one of the leads. When I hear about all of our girls taking courses, working for mas- ter degrees and caring for their children it makes me feel lazy, but never mind, my husband never has holes in his socks.
