PHIKEIAS OF OHIO ZETA CHAPTER AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
OHIO BETA, Ohio Wesleyan University.—^At the
present time Ohio Beta is making plans for a successful
Winter season under a new administration. Since the
last SCROLL report. Bob Huston has turned over the helm
of Ohio Beta to the capable hands of Vic Milla. Besides
Milla the foUowing brothers were also selected to hold
down chapter offices: Chuck Cox, secretary; Jerry Ritter,
warden; BiU Davis, chaplain, and Ivan Bowman, librarian.
Extensive plans are now underway for the coming
Winter formal. The affair is under the direction of
Social Chairman John Thomas and is being centered
around the theme, "Toyland." Also slated for the near
future is our annual party for the boys and girls of the
Delaware Children's Home. With the coming of Winter
comes a new round of sporting events in which Ohio
Beta is well represented. Dick Semple wiU be out to
defend his Ohio Conference Indoor Track High Jump
Title during the coming campaign—Ohio Beta is represented
on the basketball court by Phikeia Kip Cloud,
and Frank Martin is a crack diver with the swimming
team. On the intramural scene both basketball and
bowling teams loom as favorites in their respective
leagues. Great things are also expected from the Phikeia
cagers who drubbed their first opponent 63-18. Ohio
Beta is conceded a good chance in wrestUng with the
presence of school champs Jim Wyatt and Don Patchin.
In intramural swimming we have back one of the outstanding
swimmers in the school. Art Mussman, with
whom to build a team. In dramatics we are well represented
in the forthcoming children's play, "RumpelstUtskin,"
by Chuck Cox and Dick Brunn and Phikeia

Senior class show, "Girl Crazy," and the supporting cast
includes several other brothers THOMAS S. ROOS, Reporter.
OHIO GAMMA, Ohio University.—This year's PoUtical
week at Ohio University was, without a doubt, the
most successful election period in recent years. In charge
of this week was Ohio Gamma's George MitcheU. November
11, George was also tapped by J-Club which
named him one of the eleven outstanding Junior men on
campus. In the all campus elections Ohio Gamma also
did very well, being the only fraternity winning three
offices: Tom Balding was elected president ot the Sophomore
class; John Evans, treasurer of the Sophomore
class, and Larry Long was elected to the men's vice
presidency of the Junior class. Our intramural football
team, coached by James Runyeon, fiinished second in
the league this Fall. At the present time, our basketbaU
teams, both pledge and active, are busy with practice
under the watchful eyes of Coaches Harry Weinbrecht

would be weU to mention that Gene Wetherholt and
Al Short, ably coached the U B $ football team which
fought A X A to a 0-0 tie in the seventh annual Powder

to the efforts of these girls and their coaches, over ^700.00
