term drawing to a close, Oregon Beta can look back on
a term of fine accomplishments and consider the aspects
of 1954. The chapter was proud to initiate five new
members into our Fraternity. These men are: Ronald
Johnson, William Roberts, Neil Baker, James Fames
and Wilbur Griffiths. Taking a look at the social front
our aimual Homecoming weekend was a great success.
Although we did not win first place in the Homecoming
sign contest, we were close to the top in the final judging.
The annual Pledge banquet was also a great
success. Oregon Beta was again victorious in intramural
football, gaining control of the all-school championship
for the second year in a row. The volleyball team is also
on its way to the championship. Dick Fames, our
intramural manager, is now in the process of lining up
our A, B and C basketball teams. The prospect of a fine
season is excellent. Several members of our chapter were
recently asked to membership in a military honorary,

and Bruce Boylen. With the coming of basketball
season just around the corner, four Phis will lead the
