326 THE SCROLL of <strong>Phi</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Theta</strong> /or March, 1954<br />
"REEBA"<br />
Indiana Alpha Mascot.<br />
ing a large number of good pledges. Probably the biggest<br />
extracurricular event for the chapter this year was their<br />
trip to the University of Minnesota to participate in the<br />
annual invitational basketball tourney sponsored by the<br />
Minnesota chapter. Almost the entire chapter made the<br />
journey to the northland for the weekend tournament,<br />
which lasted from February i2 through 14. Currently<br />
Gene Waterfall and Ev Cocallas are upholding the name<br />
of Illinois <strong>Theta</strong> on the basketball courts for Lake Forest's<br />
varsity squad. Waterfall, a Sophomore, is the team's second<br />
high scorer for the season, averaging around 12<br />
points per game. Jerry Patterson has taken over the duties<br />
as Sports Publicity Director for the coUege.—^JERRY R.<br />

INDIANA ALPHA, Indiana University.—All of the<br />
brothers at Indiana Alpha survived the first semester and<br />
are back for the Spring term. From all preliminary reports,<br />
it appears that we again have come through with a top<br />
grade report, and should be towards the top of the<br />
scholastic list at I.U. We are launching one of the most<br />
extensive rush programs in our 105-year history this<br />
Spring, and would appreciate any help from any <strong>Phi</strong> who<br />
knows of fellows coming to Indiana next year. At the time<br />
of this writing many of the brothers are planning a<br />
migration of the chapter to Iowa City to the N.C.A.A.<br />
basketball tournament. Indiana University's great championship<br />
basketball team is the main topic of conversation<br />
around Bloomington these days. The annual Miami<br />
Triad was held Saturday evening, March 20. As usual it<br />
was the social highlight of the school year. The <strong>Phi</strong>s and<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>keias entertained their dates at dinner at the Bloomington<br />
Country Club and joined the Betas and S Xs in<br />
dancing to the music of Ray Anthony in Alumni Hall<br />
afterwards. <strong>Phi</strong> Joe Burris is setting the campus "afire"<br />
with his unique concession stand. It is also the solution<br />
to the many employment needs of the brothers, and for<br />
much sought after tickets to the I.U. basketball games.<br />
Indiana Alpha certainly supplies their share of athletic<br />
managers to the school. Hink Young and Jerry Bergdorffer<br />
are the basketball managers. Dan Mack, L. D. Foster and<br />
Robert Goekie are baseball managers. Chuck Hatfield,<br />
Garth Conley, Charles Francik and Al Strong are Freshman,<br />
Sophomore, Junior and Senior track managers respectively.<br />
We are starting to break ground this month<br />
for our Christmas, 1954, present, the NEW HOUSE. The<br />
chapter was pleased to have as its guest Traveling Secretary<br />
Lother A. Vasholz. It was felt that his many helpful<br />
hints and comments were of great value to the chapter<br />

INDIANA BETA, Wabash College.—The second semester<br />
opened in the usual way here at Wabash, but there<br />
was one major difference—the traditional '*HeIl Week"<br />
was replaced by "Help Week." Actives as well as pledges<br />
were organized under the leadership of the Panhellenic<br />
Council and spent a day washing cars, collecting waste paper,<br />
and doing various charity jobs. The proceeds from the<br />
paper drive and car wash were donated to the CrawfordsviUe<br />
Community Chest. The scholarship picture is definitely improved<br />
as eight men made the Dean's List. Mai Edwards<br />
and John Deardourff were appointed to American tJniversity<br />
in Washington, D.C. Their selection, by college<br />
authorities, was made on the basis of scholarship, moral<br />
character and leadership abilities. Freshman Bob Allen<br />
made his varsity basketball debut against Knox CoUege,<br />
coUecting five points. Stan Huntsman was named as a<br />
draft choice of the Chicago Cardinals professional footbaU<br />
team. Peter Bagrow, Hadrian, Mich., was pledged at<br />
the beginning of the second semester. The following men<br />
composed the February initiation class: Tony Ingrassia,<br />
Bob Hurt, Steve Ellis, Ron Cudak, Gene Lyman, Dick<br />
Huston, Dave Parry, Joe Rizzo, Bob Allen, John Yanko,<br />
Al Schuster, John Nash, Dick Duncan, Al Conner,'Vic<br />
Lodovisi, Dave Orr, Dave Courier.—JOHN STEWART, Reporter.<br />
INDIANA GAMMA, Butler University.—Indiana<br />
