in its history. Vernon Finch has been tapped by

MAINE ALPHA.—The Colby chapter is enjoying
one of the most successful seasons in the history of
the chapter. A diversified membership, including a
number of men who are Outstanding athletically,
scholasticaUy and sodally, ranks the chapter high
among the Greek-letter sodeties. Football found
* A 9 particularly wdl represented, not in the point
of numbers, but rather in the quality of the men
contributed. Bruce and McGee were varsity backs and
did much of their running behind the expert blocking
of Phikeias Hersey and Schuman who played in
the line. Basketball, already commanding attention,
is likely to be dominated by Phis. Malins and Kammandd,
all-fraternity choices of a year ago, are
slated to receive regular positions on the first hoop
team in the history of the college. In addition, Salisbury
and Phikeias Reed and Kincus are strong
contenders for positions on the varsity quintet. Phi
Delta Theta was one of the two fraternities on the
campus to achieve its full quota of twdve men during
the pledging season. Dibble represented the yearling
group in cross-country and Cobb, Stumpp and
Rimasokus are among those who reported for freshman
basketball. McGee is vice-president of his dass
and is a member of the athletic council of the college,
being one of two undergraduate students to be elected
to the latter. Phikeias Leonard, Baxter, and Rimpo
are active in student publications. Kammandel, Salisbury,
Malins and Dignam a)mprise the quartet of
cheer leaders of the coUege.—VICTOR P. MALINS,
Reporter.
MANITOBA ALPHA—The Manitoba chapter has
started the new year in very auspicious style. After
obtaining a new chapter house the business of fall
rushing was beg^n in real earnest, and ended with
the pledging of nine men swelling the number of
Phikeias to seventeen. Manitoba Alpha is wdl represented
in the student affairs of the University. Paylor
is the Senior Stick of the faculty of Science. Phikeia
English is president of First Year Engineering, Brother
Leckie and Phikeia Madean are editors on the
Manitoban, and Leckie, Brandson, Law, Carleton,
and Gee are playing Interfaculty rugby. On October
23, Judge Carroll, our province pr«ident, visited the
chapter and seemed pleased with the progress made.
A luncheon was held at the chapter house and afterwards
the chapter attended the Winnipeg-North
Dakota rugby game. Madead won the De Haviland
Aeronautical scholarship and is now studying in
England. The chapter has hdd a number of open
houses after important university functions. Chapter
officers for the coming year are Gerald Law, president;
Bob Harland. treasurer; Wally McBride, secretary;
Edgar Gee, historian; Wally Paylor, warden; and
Frank Dwyer, reporter. Jack Trimble is the house
manager and Don MacDougall is the pledge-master.
Brother Chevrier has succeeded Brother Reid as the
chapter adviser. A Mothers' dub has been formed
and the mothers have shown a great interest in the
chapter activities.—FRANK DWYER, Reporter.
MARYLAND ALPHA.—Maryland Alpha dosed the
most successful rushing season that the chapter has
ever had by pledging twenty-nine outstanding freshmen
on pledge day and one man since then. Already
one of the newly pledged men, Phikeia Frank Davis,
has been elected president of the freshman dass, and
Phikeias Gene Ochsenreiter and Henry Pelzcar are
members of the freshman football team. The chapter
is displaying a fine spirit this fall, with practically
every member and pledge in at least one activity.
John Muncks is president of the Student Governing
Association; a member of 0 A K, and a member of
the varsity lacrosse team. Muncks' election to the
highest student office gave Maryland Alpha the distinction
of being the only fraternity whose men ever
held this position for two consecutive years. Carl
Goller has been appointed president of the sophomore
dass, repladng Willis Jones, who was unable
to return to coUege this year. The business managership
of The Old Line is held by John Wolf, who is
also a member of B A *. Ed Long has been appointed
manager of lacrosse. Jerry Hardy is treasurer of the
junior dass, junior editor of The Old Line, and
associate editor of The Diamondback. The chairmanship
of the Junior Prom is held for the second consecutive
