Region III, Florida's East Coast To Host
75th Anniversary Convention

a "up

Looking in all directions on Florida's Gold Coast, there's water to be seen. Navigable rivers, canels and lagoons snake in and through

the cities and towns. Gleaming houses and colorful landscapes along the waterways add to the panorama everywhere.

Region I I I A O n s > and particularly
of the Florida East Coast area, ex-
citedly are anticipating and preparing
for the arrival in June, 1973, of
sorority sisters from all areas of the
United States and Canada.

The Diplomat Resorts and Country
Club in Hollywood-By-The-Sea, Fla.,
will be the scene of AOn's 75th an-
niversary celebration at the 50th
biennial convention June 17 through

22.

"Fraternally Yours-AOll.75 Years"
is the theme chosen by the Executive
Committee for this festive diamond
observance.

The Diplomat is one of the Sun-

fabulous vacation operations with 900
rooms and suites extending over 600
acres.

A sampling of the cuisines and

in its ten assorted restaurants which
literally attempt to give suests an

Besides a 1.200-foot private ocean
beach, there are five swimming pools,
golf on two championship courses
and tennis on eight tournament
courses.

Business sessions will be held in

Two more gala banquets will re-

Besides all the excitement of digni-

offer convention-goers free time to

What's New
On Campus?

(First Article Of Three)
by Mary Margaret Garrard

Today, with over 7 million stu-

dents—double the 1960 number—

seeking higher education, with a

25% increase in the number of col-

leges and junior colleges, and with

the attendant disenchantment with

education felt by many, change is

rife on the campus scene. As col-

leges and college-age individuals

seek to reassess priorities so as to

better resolve the problems of con-

temporary human existence, we are

confronted with a new approach,

new patterns in universities, new or-

ganization, new freedom, a new stu-

dent, and new developments for

fraternity.

The following article deals with
the new approach and new patterns
in universities.

THE NEW APPROACH
Admissions

"We need to remind ourselves
constantly that a student at what-
ever level is not in competition with
his fellow students—he is in com-
petition with the best that is in him.
The purpose of assessments of all
kinds, be they marks or test scores,
is to help us understand an individ-
ual student and to help him under-
stand his unique interests, aptitudes
and talents."—Eugene S. Wilson,
longtime dean of admissions, A m -
herst College.

The admissions picture in the six-
ties was one of great selectivness.
A s we start the seventies, it is eas-
ing somewhat.

The financial pinch is causing
many families to shop around for a
good buy in a college education.
Through necessity, high-tuition col-
leges and even some state universi-
ties are reassessing their require-
ments for acceptance of students.

The whole problem of finding
ways to identify the full potential of
poor and minority group students is
having great bearing on principles
and practices of formerly selective
admissions.

There is a strong nation-wide
movement by students toward the
two-year community colleges, most
of which do not require admissions
tests.

To Dragma of A L P H A O M I C R O N PI / W I N T E R

The question constantly raised these days on college campuses is "Do
students need grades to be motivated to study?"

". . . we are confronted with a new approach, new patterns . . . new
freedom, a new student, and new developments for fraternity."

BRITISH COLUMBIA
Beta Kappa Chapter's keen and eager
pledges decided to combine the realiza-
tion of what our international sisterhood
is, with their initiation into A O I I . The
plan, instigated by pledge-trainer Pam
King, was to spend a weekend with
another chapter.

Actives and pledges braved snow and
rain for the two-hundred mile journey
from the University of British Columbia
to the closest chapter: Upsilon at the
University of Washington in Seattle.
Saturday served as an excellent oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with sisters
and learn about their chapter. With a
song in their hearts and guitars in hand,
sisters sparked a spontaneous hootenany.

Initiation was held an Sunday morn-
ing in the beautiful red and white living
room of the chapter house. Joining in
the initiation ritual were Traveling Sec-
retary Sue Edmunds and Regional D i -
rector, Mrs. Forest Swan, as well as
several Upsilon sisters.

NEW AOII BROCHURE
"Alpha Omicron Pi is concerned about

Arthritis"

NEW B R O C H U R E explaining AOII
arthritis activities was introduced at
Regional Meetings. It was designed by
Patti Batchelor Penning and Laura Perry
with the guidance of The Arthritis
Foundation, which paid half the cost.

R E D A N D W H I T E with photograph of a
physical therapist and child with juvenile
arthritis, the folder lists AOII philan-
thropic history, relationships with The
Arthritis Foundation and the Canadian
Arthritis and Rheumatism Society, and
ideas for service.

F I R S T F I V E Y E A R S O F AOII Arthritis
Research Fellowships totaling over $40,-
000 are listed. Ideas for action also in-
clude literature, films, and office ad-
dresses.

O R D E R B R O C H U R E now from Central
Office for distribution to rushees,
pledges,, parents, Panhellenic, teachers,
community, A F and C.A.R.S. members,
at meetings, luncheons, fairs, mailings.

Because the public often forgets that children as
young as six weeks can suffer from juvenile
arthritis, the new AOTI brochure, "Alpha Omicron
Pi is concerned about Arthritis" features a child
and a physical therapist from Washington. D.C.,
on the cover.
