NEW YORK EPSILON, Syracuse University.—Although
classes have barely begun, the Fall activities at "703"
are really getting into high gear. Under the capable
leadership of President Richard> Randall, New York
Epsilon is well on its way to an even more successful
season than the previous semester—which saw us garner
the all-around intramural sports trophy, greatly improve
our scholastic standings, and initiate a fine group ot
Phis. We ot New York Epsilon are very happy to have
Rev. Harry B. Reddick, our wonderful friend and
brother, back with us after a severe illness. We also welcome
back to New York Epsilon, Dr. Paul Ward, former
chapter adviser who returns as a professor at the University,
after a leave of absence. "Omar" Coyne is doing
a fine job of prejJaring for the Fall rush, which will soon
be taking place. As tor our social activities. Chairman
Bob Secor has a well-planned social calendar prepared
which promises to surpass last Fall's tremendous program.
Treasurer Ham Dixon has done a good job of
keeping the house in the black, and House Manager Bob
Brussel has been doing a great job of keeping everything
in shape. We now have a group of nine Phikeias who
have been making good use of their time, while anxiously
awaiting initiation, sometime this Fall ^JAMES I.

NEW YORK ZETA, Colgate University.—^A fine turnout
ot alumni for the Homecoming weekend highlighted
the early Fall activities at New York Zeta. Under the
direction of Dan Smith, social chairman, we welcomed
back scores of alumni including recent graduates now in
the service. Neil Price and the pledge class collaborated to
put up one of the finest poster displays to be seen here
in a number of years. Despite the fact that the Red
Raiders football team lost to Holy Cross everyone watched
good performances by two Phi first stringers—quarterback
Jack Owens and guard Tom Miller. Also members of the
squad are George Gardella, Tony Tsocanos, Ed Janecek
and Craig RandaU. Rounding out the footbaU picture is
Mel Bailey who is aiding on the broadcasts of the games
over a four-station network. Ivar Berg is the president of
the Colgate Student Senate, the school'^ highest honor.
Bob Graham is president ot this chapter for the present
semester and under his leadership we have made many
improvements in the physical aspect of the house. The
pledge class is undergoing the rigors of pledging under
Pledgemaster George Swan with the hopes that they will
be brothers by the time this newsletter hits the print.
The intramural scene is in the capable hands of Jack
Warner and action in that department is just getting
under way. Warner is also running on the cross country
team, while on the soccer team are George Williamson,
Charlie Tillou and Bob Tuxhill. On the scholastic side,
the chapter moved up several notches in the fraternity
standings. Ivar Berg received an Austen Colgate Scholarship
as one of the five Seniors with a straight A average.

NORTH CAROLINA ALPHA, Duke University.—
North Carolina Alpha swings into the new year with
more than the usual perennial optimism. Greeting the
brothers on their return were two completely refurbished
rooms on the first floor of our section. One designated
as the "grab" room and the other to be used for more
sedate functions like the receiving of maiden aunts and
stray deans. The cost of the whole remodeling, including
the tearing out of a wall, was cut considerably thanks
to the timely use ot a 75-pourid cannon ball as a battering
ram and the help of the dozen brothers who returned
early to finish the job. Among the lodge luminaries this
semester is the prodigal Buns MacQueen, intramural star
and Senior. Judicial board representatives include Reynolds
Price and Luther Bamhardt. The former is also
associate editor of the popular campus literary magazine,
the ever-lucid Archive, while the latter is a Junior leader,
president ot his class. Bob Clayton is the only Junior
member of the undergraduate hierarchy of the Duke
N.R.O.T.C. unit, and is surrently the leader of the
N.R.O.T.C. drill team. This team has been hailed as
the best in the South. Jack MiUer, president of North,
Carolina Alpha, along with his sidekick Major Domo
Charles Pardoe, are currently engaged in rounding up the
