42 THE SCROLL
COLORADO ALPHA, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
Boulder, September 2, igi8.—.\t the cióse of the school year. Colorado Alpha
introduced seven men to the world—Brothers Eckel, Wear, Hinkley, Pierce,
Kelly, Southwell and West. Wear is in the medical school and will return next
year, Hinkley is with the Western Chemical Co., and the other five are serving
Únele Sam.
In regard to the latest honors—Brothers Irion and Praschek were pledged to
Torch and Shield, sophomore honorary society. Brother Praschek was weight
man on the varsity track team, which finished second in the conference meet.
Brother .Akers finished a successful year as athletic editor of the Süver and
Gold, and will probably be assistant editor next year. Brother Stiefel was
elected freshman manager of the Coloradoan, Brother H. Eastman had the
leading part in the unión operetta, and was ably assisted by Brothers Wadley
and Stiefel, who shook a wicked leg in the chorus, and Brother Wear as
make-up man. Brother L. Eastman was notified of his election to Heart
and Dagger, honorary sénior society, and was elected vice president of the
student commission.
Colorado will have a new football coach as Coach Evans has left for the
Army. Joe Mills, formerly of Baylor University, Texas, was chosen to
succeed him, and the outlook is bright for a championship team under Captain
Eastman. Brothers Ward and Praschek will also be on the squad.
We regret to write that Brother Lieutenant Eddie Evans, one of Colorado's
best athletes, and ex-football captain, was killed in action July ig, igiS. This
is Colorado Alpha's first gold star, and we hope it is the last. Brother L.
Hinkley was reported wounded on the same day that Brother Evans was killed.
Brothers Eastman, White, Riley, and Wadley were among the fifty-seven
chosen to take training at the Presidio, R. O. T. C. camp for a month in the
summer, and all should return to school. These, with six or eight others returning
should be a good start for Colorado Alpha next fall, and we look for
a good year coming.

COLORADO BETA, COLORADO COLLEGE
Colorado Springs, September ig, igiS.—With the closing of Colorado College
in June, Colorado Beta came to the cióse of a very successful year in spite of
the fact that the war hit her pretty hard. We now have stars for 62 men in
our service flag out of a possible 114 men who have signed the Bond. A bronze
píate commemorates those who entered the service in igi", and it is the plan
of the chapter to have a similar píate made each year for the men entering the
service during that year. Nothing is too good for them. Brothers Newton
Holman, Joe Bottler, John Cárter, Frank Shelden, Fred Coldren, LeRoy
Burgess, Roy Brumfield and S. W. Baker have joined various branches of
the service this summer.
Four of the brothers made their letters in baseball last spring. Brother
Frank Shelden managed the team.
