Lewis, ArUngton, Reid Sinclair and John Werner—were
me'mbers of OAK. Seven ot the class are now in graduate
or professional schools. Bill Robertson, '53, Norfolk,
has been appointed chapter Co-advisor and will serve
until he enters the Navy in November. The Panhellenic
Council has agreed to early rushing this year. Virginia
Gamma will be benefited by this because our chapter
is left rather small this year. A large Freshman class
with an unusually large percentage of desirable rushees
gives promise of strengthening our numbers and the
fraternity JOHN C. JUSTICE, Reporter.

VIRGINIA ZETA, Washington and Lee University.—
This new school year has again brought many Phis into
positions ot leadership on the W. and L. campus. Jerry
South is secretary of the Student Body; Bob Fishbum is
business manager of the Ring-tum Phi, our school publication;
Dewey Oxner is president ot the Sophomore
class; and Harry Ford is vice president ot our first dance
weekend. The outlook for scholarship and intramurals
this year is very bright. By a coordinated program of
school work and athletics, we hope to be tops in both.
Our chances for realizing our goals are greatly enhanced
by our new group of nineteen Phikeias. Each is potentially
a campus leader and a true Phi. The Phikeias are:
Milton Harwell Bevis, Jr., Jacksonville, Fla.; James
Randolph Brown, Jr., Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.; Belden
Butterfield, Montevideo, Uruguay; James Franklin Clay,
Danville, Ky.; Richard Charles Gower, Rumford, R.I.;
William Preston Haynes, Jr., and Charles Edward Mochwart,

Starting this year with a fine scholastic record Washington
Alpha is proud to announce that in competition of
thirty-nine fraternities it stands seventh and is looking
toward the number one position. In the Purple Shield, an
underclassmen's honorary, there are twelve members including
the President, BiU Burch and Vice President,
CoUen Cruikshank. John West and Bill Nichols are
holding positions on the Interfraternity Council while
Fred Erickson is treasurer of the Associated Men Students.
Under the able leadership of Social Chairman Tim
Moriarty, the first actual social event of the year will
take place the twenty fourth, which is the annual pledge
dance. A glance at the sport kingdom shows three Phis
as captains ot their respective sports. In football there is
Vern Lindskog, in basketball the captain is Don Tripp,
and in basebaU Bill Stuht carries the honors. Bob Lewis,
a veteran varsity backstroke, is again a threat on the
Washington swim team. Whit Clarke, Grit Steiner and
coxswain Bob Wetter are out for varsity crew. Jay Hall
is the only Frosh aspirant. Art Chetlain, a varsity skier,
is again going out for the sport and Dick Savage, a
Freshman, is at the top of the list on the Frosh team.
Last Spring the intramural squad ended the year with
the track trophy for the fourth consecutive year and now
in a few weeks will be defending last year's intramural
football trophy in a winning manner, we hope.—DON
