Folston, Jr., Roderick Meserve, John Narver, Thaddeus
Bruno, Jr., and Robert Bauer, I'ortland. Although the
Oregon State football team hasn't as yet started to
"Roll," we have quite a tew Phis on the team. Wes
Ediger, Ralph Carr, Charles Brackett, Jack Peterson, Tom
Little,-Joel Calavan, Bob Riggert, and Vern Samples
are all seeing action on the Beaver squad. Our annual
Bam dance was held November 6. Leading our intramural
program this year is Richard Fames. He has
done a fine job with the football team with two wins
and no losses. We are out to retain the trophy we won
last year and I am sure that we will do it. With Homecoming
just around the corner, a committee is already
hard at work on our annual Homecoming Sign. Many
Phis are expected to retum to the campus for the
weekend of events, which will include the dedication of
our new football stadium.—^JOEL CALAVAN, Reporter.

offices ot the Freshman class. Dale Patton was elected
Sophomore vice president, while Laurie Peterson and

PENNSYLVANIA ALPHA, Lafayette College.—Because
ot the loss ot eighteen Seniors last June, and since Freshman

new crop ot Phikeias, Pennsylvania Alpha was very proud
to receive into the chapter two new brothers this past
September: Richard Faust, Binghamton, N.Y., and Russel
Hedden, who confidently holds down the center position
on Lafayette's rapidly rising footbaU team ^WILLIAM C.

PENNSYLVANIA BETA, Gettysburg College.—Pennsylvania
Beta brought the Spring semester to a successful
conclusion by placing third in academic standing among the
other fraternities on campus, be^ng nosed out of first place
by a very slim margin. Embarking on the new school year
the rushing program with great spirit and determination
resulted in a great pledge class, which numbers 28 in
size, thus giving us the distinction of obtaining the
largest pledge class on campus. Although large, it is a
well-rounded enthusiastic group and we at Pennsylvania
Beta are looking forward to a very successful year in aU
fields ot endeavor. The new Phikeias are: Charles Bieler,
East Greenville; Gino Calcagni, AUentown; Joseph Clarke,
West Reading; Paul Davis, Greensburg; Mike Duka,
