MISSOURI BETA, Westminster College.—This Fall
Missouri Beta cUmaxed a successful rush week by taking
thirteen Phikeias into the fold. They include: Bill Adams,
Higginsville; Phil Carr, Al Cnim, Eldon; Paul Drum,
Poplar Bluff; Carl Kleppinger, Mexico; Mike Quigg, Holt
Summit; Dick Ruppert, Kirkwood; Ron Seeker, Webster
Groves; Don Back, Tulsa, Okla.; Dick Hayes, BartlesviUe,
Okla.; Hugh Putman, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Lyle De-
Witt, Houston, Tex., and Charles Kurrus, Belleville, 111.
We are very grateful to the numerous alumni who took
such an avid interest in rush week. One of our most outstanding
achievements during the preceding school year
was our rise in scholastics which was recognized by
Brothers George Ward, P.G.C, and Dr. Clem Beninger,
our Province President. Campus leaders ot Missouri Beta
are: Tom Davis, secretary-treasurer of the Student Council;
Charles Barber, vice presdient ot the Senior class;
Ken Kiester, president of the Junior class; Cameron
Foster, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Sophomore class; and.
Trigg Callis, treasurer ot the Interfraternity Council. Our
athletic expectations for the ensuing year are high due to
the amount of potential. Our golf team is vying for the
championship and has lost only one match to date against
the stiffest competition. In our other FaU events, softball
and track, we expect a high rank in the final standings.
Returning veterans will help bolster the teams during
this campaign. We are very fortunate to have such an
active Parents' Club ot which Mr. Charles Barber is
president. Their endeavors benefited us, this past year,
in the form of much needed kitchenware and a beautiful
2i-inch television set.—CHARLES BARBER, Reporter.
MISSOURI GAMMA, Washington University.—The
chapter started the activities of the new school year by
taking on the job of redecorating the entire house. Every
brother assisted in the operation, which started a few
weeks before rush week, and due to this cooperation the
house was completed ahead of schedule. Jim Kennedy,
house manager, was the director of this project and did
a commendable job. Combined with the work on the
house, the chapter engaged in an extraordinary rushing
program conducted by Jim Burst and Jerry Lee. Besides
extensive rushing in St. Louis, President BiU Lahrman
and Rich Bradley took a trip by automobile covering six
states and over eight hundred miles. The new Phikeias
are: Terry Eichler, La Grange, 111.; Clay MoUman, Belleville,
111.; Jim Mizera, Gillespie, 111.; BiU Metzger, Collensville.
111.; Bill Abbott, Dale Perkinson, Bill GuUion,
Al Seier, Bill Bean, Tom Roberts, Doug Gross, Neal
Goerisch, Charles Kilo, Ken Wolf, Wendell Reichle and
Ed Fritschle, St. Louis. Football dominates the sport talk
around the house these days with James Burst, James
Campbell, Richard Damnkoehler, BiU Dean, Terry Eichler,
Bob Glass, Jerry Lee, Don Moehlenpah, Norb Mueller,
Don Rott, Charles Wallace and Ken Wolf on the varsity
squad. In intramural football we have a good chance of
winning the trophy with John Roseborough piloting the
team and the support of the whole chapter.—^JOHN J.
