Chapter News<br />
in Brief<br />
ALABAMA ALPHA<br />
tJniversity ' of Alabama<br />
<strong>No</strong> letter received<br />
ALABAMA BETA, Alabama Polytechnic Institute.—<br />
.\fter a very successful fall quarter we at Alabama Beta<br />
are looking to 1954 as a banner year for the chapter.<br />
The pledge class has been fully indoctrinated into<br />
fraternity life and is ready for more work this' winter.<br />
The highlight of the quarter as far as intramurals is<br />
concerned came the first week in December when<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>keia Bill Yarbrough, Decatur, Ga., won the annual<br />
OAK Cake race in which all Freshman males compete.<br />
The bowling team won their league, and the football<br />
team placed third. Brother Ray and Dick Donney are<br />
sure to repeat as Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling<br />
Association Champions with the Auburn wrestlers.<br />
Many fine parties were held at the house, climaxed by<br />
the Christmas Party December la. The chapter regrets the<br />
loss ot Arliss Bryant, colored houseboy, who had been<br />
with us for 30 years. Arliss died <strong>No</strong>vember 14. The<br />
basketball team seems sure to repeat as league champions<br />
this year and we hope to do better than a loss in the<br />
semifinals of the tourney as did last year's squad<br />

ALBERTA ALPHA, University of Alberta.—Since our<br />
last newsletter we have achieved three things. We have<br />
pledged ig of the finest rushees on campus in what was<br />
one of our most hectic rushing periods to date. Although<br />
restricted to four functions. in one week of formal<br />
rushing, under the capable direction of Farrell and<br />
Peacocke we met and rushed some sixty rushees from<br />
whom we made our final selection. The new <strong>Phi</strong>keias are:<br />
Ross Sinclare and Pete Johnson, Vancouver, B.C.; Frank<br />
Patton, Hugh Atkins, Frank Fleury, Garth Milvain, Mike<br />
Mcllhargey, Joe Stanford, Joe Chisholm, Bill Blain,<br />
Pete Crockford, Roy McKenney and John Matthews,<br />
Calgary; Richard Mallen, John Tweddle, Ed Kane,<br />
Ernie Chrustawka, Bob Smith, John Cairns, Edmonton;<br />
Cord Cruickshank and Bill Myers, Lacombe, and Henry<br />
Beaumont, Lethbridge. For the second year in a row<br />
we have won the intramural touch football championship<br />
and the I.F.C. trophy. Both our A and B teams<br />
made the final four team round-robin from which our<br />
.\ team emerged victorious. Recent house improvements<br />
include the purchase ot a new chesterfield suite and<br />
completion of custom-made wooden bunks. They are<br />
welcome additions—just ask the men who sleep in<br />
themi The Edmonton Alumni Club now has a Calgary<br />
counterpart. For years we have been trying to get an<br />
active organization established in our fair southern city<br />
and recently some of our recent graduates in Calgary<br />
organized a dinner meeting at the Glencoe Club for all<br />
known Calgary alumni. We hear that there were fortyone<br />
in attendance including five from Halifax and some<br />
from various parts of the States. Perhaps now Calgary<br />
will have a strong contingent at the annual Golf Tournament<br />
held in Lacombe every Fall—they might even gain<br />
possession of the trophy which is currently held by<br />
Edmonton. For those in the vicinity, our Founders Day<br />
weekend is the first weekend in March at the Macdonald<br />
Hotel.—D. ROBERT SKJEIE, Reporter.<br />
ARIZONA ALPHA, University of Arizona.—This Fall<br />
Arizona Alpha starred in the annual Homecoming float<br />
parade by winning second place in the originality division.<br />
The parade, given in honor of the returning football<br />
team, is composed of floats entered by campus<br />
organizations. The * A 0 float was constructed on a thirtyfive<br />
foot flat bed truck and featured a big white hen<br />
laying golden footballs with the slogan, "We're Layin'<br />
For Kansas State." Under the able supervision of Lee<br />
Perry, float chairman, the float was completed in one<br />
week of hard but profitable work, as we received a<br />
beautiful trophy for our eSorts. The outstanding event<br />
