number one ranking on the Ohio State campus as they

players, three baseball players, and eight of these Phikeias
were presidents of high school organizations.—CHARLES
W. MARTIN, Reporter.
OHIO ETA, Case Institute of Technology.—^As the
academic year begins, Ohio Eta is looking forward to a
successful year. The brothers walked into a newly decorated
house which they are proudly showing to the many
rushees that have visited them. Under the leadership of
John Shroyer and Phil Cole, the chapter is expecting a
very good pledge class. To help rushing along Archie
Fletcher opened the social season with a "Las Vegas"
party, which was a huge success. On the roster of the
varsity football team appears the names of eleven Phis,
seven of them on the starting lineup. Also as the intramural
sports season gets under way, both the volleyball
and bowling teams should place high in the final standings.
Frank Matter and Mark Morris took second and
fourth place in the National A.A.U. four-mile swimming
event held in New York this Summer. The chapter is
proud, to announce that they have increased their ranks
with the initiation qf five new members. These men are:
Dave Graeser, Bob Kinney, Chuck Mertler, John Steadman
and Ted Relnhart. After the ceremony a banquet
was held at the house with after-dinner speeches given by
Watty Slabaugh, Louis Wells, Ed Heck and Nile Duppstadt.—BARRY
HARRISON, Reporter.

series of parties which spanned a period of three weeks
saw no less than .fifty men don the pins and pots as

ot the new pledges exhibited itself when, with the exception
of two of the veterans, the Phikeias fielded a
complete intramural team and defeated their opposition,
13-0. With the victory under their belts,'the pledges are
looking forward to carrying on the tradition the actives
set last year by winning the all-sport Intramural cup.
Both Phikeias and brothers are looking forward to the
annual Phikeia Carnival. The event is the only one of its
kind on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. The
modem chapter house is decorated like a Barnum and •
Bailey world and all Greek pledges on campus are invited
to it. One of the highlights of the Ohio Theta's
"infallible fifty" is the large percentage ot athletes within
the class. No less than three Freshman basketball players
are in the ranks, and just as many gridiron yearlings
march in the fold. Ohio Theta is proud of its class and
looks forward to a banner year in the history of the
chapter G. WILLIAM GRABO, Reporter.
