220 THE SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1954
NORTH CAROLINA BETA PHIKEIAS
Adviser Chandler Brown leaves the brothers saddened.
Chan's selfless devotion to the chapter wiU long be
remembered here. He, above everyone else, saw that we
got back on our feet after a near acadmic cataclysm. As
of last semester, however, Chan guided the chapter up
eight notches to eleventh spot ^TED ZIEGLER, Reporter.
NORTH CAROLINA BETA, University of North
Carolina.—The end of November saw us complete our
rushing—^beyond a doubt the biggest event of the FaU.
Our new pledge class consists of: Mebane Pritchett,
Lenoir; Jim Martin, Charlotte; Cloid Wade, Zebulon;
Bud Hargraves, Lexington; Bud Kirchberg, Sylva; Ralph
Graham, Durham; Dodge Olmstead, Richmond, Va.;
PhU Drake, Ft! Lauderdale, Fla.; CharUe Krepp, Baltimore,
Md.; Lambert Hooper, Sylva; Tom Brenner, West
Palm Beach, Fla.; Ed Sutton, Sylva; Tommy Strictland,
Raleigh; Bob McLaughlin, Miami Beach, Fla., and
Taylor Durham, Greenwich, Conn. Many of the brothers
journeyed to New York to enjoy their Thanksgiving
hoUdays. With six recent pinnings we have spent several
pleasant hours serenading the lovely young ladies. The
brothers worked hard under the leadership of John
Cauble and Put Davis in attempting to take first place
in the Dook Float parade, but had to be satisfied with a
second. As we look back at our football season, we think
first of Jeff Newton and those two touchdown passes he
caught against Notre Dame. Sherry Smith, one of our
better intramural athletes, came through as top wrestler
in his weight division, and PhU Woods bowed out in
the finals of his weight division. Bill Moore and John
Moore entered the Debate Tourney sponsored by the
University of South Carolina but lost out in round robin
debating.—^VAN WEATHERSPOON, Reporter.
NORTH CAROLINA GAMMA, Davidson CoUege.—
December 5 the chapter enjoyed the annual costume
ball which this year was a "suppressed desire ball." The
costumes were well-planned, but Herschel AUen and his
date, Kaye Zeigler of Queens College, outclassed them all
with their realistic shipwreck costumes. That same week
we were honored in having Max DeVane and Buddy
Lamon tapped into OAK. In addition to other honors,
DeVane is Regimental Commander of the R.O.T.C. and
I.F.C. Representative for * A ©. Lamon is president of the
Forensic Council. Thus far in the Interfiratemity sports
competition we have landed two first places. Ish Bennett
led the football squad to an almost perfect record often
wins and one loss and Joe Greer also led the wrestling
team to a first place. In the balloting by all the fraternity
sports managers, Ish Bennett and Max DeVane were
selected for the all-fraternity football squad. We are
exceptionally proud of the two varsity basketball players
in the fraternity. Buddy Brown and Ish Bennett. Both
of them saw considerable action last year and wiU be
counted on heavily by the Davidson coach, Danny Miller,
this year. A few weeks ago. Miss Ada Morris-ef Atlanta,
Ga., was selected the "Dreamgirl" of North Carolina
Gamma tor the school year 1953-1954- She will be officiaUy
presented at the annual "Blue and White" ball to
be held in the late Spring BUDDY LAMON, Reporter.

NOVA SCOTIA ALPHA
Dalhousie University
No letter received.
OHIO ALPHA, Miami University.—Highlighting Ohio
Alpha's activities this Fall have been numerous social
and campus events. We presented a serenade to Mrs.
Paul Beam and to Mrs. John D. Millet, wife of our
newly appointed president of Miami University. Our
Province President, Jack E. Shepman, was host to Ohio
Alpha and Ohio Theta at a tremendous party held in
Cincinnati. One of the big events on campus this semester
was "The Powder Bowl" a football game between KKT
and A T sororities, sponsored by the chapter. All proceeds
from the game were donated to the Campus Committee for
Foreign Students. On December's social calender we had
our Christmas formal December 12, followed by our
annual Orphans' Party held in conjunction with XI2. Approximately
twenty orphans were entertained and received
gifts. On the sports scene we find Lloyd "Punky" Williams
and Russ Giganti turned in another fine season as
members of our Redskin football team. Interfratemity
and intramural sports are in full swing and Ohio Alpha
is contending for honors in bowling, handball, basketbaU,
swimming and volleyball. It will be truly difficult to
select an outstanding Senior this year. All members of
the Senior class are producing tor the chapter and are
active on campus. Congratulations to the SeniorsI
Under our new set of officers our committee system has
been revamped and is producing fine results. Numerous
other organizational changes are in effect and a great
improvement has been noticed by the entire chapter.—
