PENNSYLVANIA IOTA Pitt chapter is definitdy
on the updimb. Our present chapter has been doing
fine work in the various activities on campus, and at
present hold top rating, and things look even better
for the rest of this year and next. We have five men
on the strong Pitt football team: Curley Stebbins,
Bob Dannies, John Dickinson, Dick FuUerton, and
Charlie Fleming. Chuck Wright, our president, is also
President of the Pitt Inter-Fratemity Council, and in
general is very prominent in campus life. Bernie
CashdoUar, also on interfratemity, was sdected by
the Council to be their delegate to the New York
meeting of the Inter-Fratemity Council convention;
he is also on the editorial board of the Panther, and
chairman of the Pep assemblies at Pitt. Dannies is
'doing a fine job as vice-president of Men's Council.
During the recent rush week, the Phi Ddts led the
campus by pledging twenty-three choice men; they
are too numerous to mention, but we promise a
group picture of them next issue. The best Rushing
Event was an Alumni Smoker, with a little extemporaneous
fun at the end, along with some suitable
eats. Bill Angel and Charlie Fleming stole the show
with an original Big Apple.—BERNIE CASHDOLLAR, Reporter.
PENNSYLVANIA KAPPA.—Last spruig the fraternities,
working through the local interfratemity council,
decided to postpone bidding until two weeks
before Christmas vacation, instead of the. former
second week of the fall term. Freshman men have
attended three smokers thus far, and invitations will
be sent out for two more smokers immediately preceding
the December bidding. Upperdassmen are
eligible, however, and we pledged Robert B. Rockwood,
'39, from Kurnool, South India. He is a member
of the varsity soccer squad and possible tennis material,
an honors student in history, and honorary
scholarship holder. Phikeia Foster was initiated October
27 by the brotherhood. Activities of the chapter
have centered around fall athletics and extracurricular
interests. In footbaU Jones heads the local aggregation,
playing in the varsity backfield for his second
year. Brothers Snyder, A. and P., the chapter twins,
frequently feature on the gridiron in guard positions.
On the squad are Lashly, and Phikeia Atkinson. On
the soccer fidd Brother Hall and Phikeia Rockwood
fill the left wing and inside right positions respectivdy
on the varsity. Brother Bose, for two years letter
man in cross country and track, was unable to finish
out the fall season with the college harriers because of
an operation for appendicitis the first part of October.
Lashly continues in the front ranks of the Little
Theatre Club. Austin, Isgrig and Wilson are still
writing copy for the Phoenix, coUege weekly—^JAMES
M. WILSON, JR., Reporter.
QUEBEC ALPHA—Activities of Quebec Alpha began
rather vigorously with the initiations of Phikeias
Cuke and Morse who were pledged last year. With
this behind us we set out on an enthusiastic rushing
campaign, which ended successfully, this proven by
the fact that we attracted seven new men to the
chapter, all of whom have shown activity on the
campus. Turning to the active chapter, there is hardly
a name that cannot be linked with achievement both
scholasticaUy and athletically. Three Phis found places
on the senior golf team: Davies, Keyes, and Young.
The championship was defended unsuccessfully this
year, but a gallant lowing was made by every Phi.
The varsity footbaU team uses three Phis regularly:
Robb, Wilson and HaU, while the second team daims
such prospective material as Cox, Davies, Kelley, Cuke,
and Morse. While Quebec Alpha holds her own athletically,
scholasticaUy she is second to none. The
chapter holds the scholarship cup of the McGill Interfratemity
Coimcil, representing the highest aggregate
standing of the fraternities. In executive positions we
have Everett Crutchlow as president of the Student's
Executive Coundl, the highest position accorded to a
student. Jim Cameron and Boggs were recently elected
to 'I' E A. honorary engineering fraternity. Stanley,
Boggs and Murray are members of the Student's
Athletic Coundl.^. C. GORDON YOUNG, Reporter.
RHODE ISLAND ALPHA The opening of the
coUege year found Phis enjoying increased prominence
in campus activities. Those partidpating in fall sports
were: Larkowich and Sigloch, football; Abraham, soccer;
Luhn, track; and Sinclair, fendng. Moore is manager
of the band with Bradshaw assistant manager.
Dodge, King, Perry, Sinclair, and Traver are members
of the band. Brown is manager of the hockey team.
Larkowich and Carifio are members of the Brown
Key, junior honorary society. Moore is editor of the
Liber Brunensis with Cahalan, managing editor;
Bushell, photographic editor; Hutton, junior editor;
and Abraham, Brown, Fraser, Gould, Poole, and Sindair,
staff members. Hay and Beaulieu are members
of the interfratemity Governing Board. Hay represented
Brown at the Interfratemity Conference hdd
in New York. He is also an associate editor of the
Brown Daily Herald. Perry is a member of the glee
dub. Traver is secretary and Noyes is a member of
the Outing Club. Schloss is business manager of
Brownbrokers, campus musical comedy organization.
The highlight of the current social season was the
Alumni Weekend. A wdl-attended alumni luncheon
was served at the chapter house which together with
the Brown-Dartmouth football game in the afternoon,
and the aimual fall dance at the chapter house in the
evening served to make the weekend a truly memorable
one J. FRANCTS CAHALAN, JR., Reporter.
SOUTH DAKOTA ALPHA As in preceding years
we have a large representation on the football team.
Sedgwick and Sauvage are groomed for AU-Conference
positions. Following dosely behind them are Wernli
and Hodapp, who are experiencing their first year of
vanity competition. Phikeia Lane, who will be initiated
soon, is a fixture at one of the tackle positions.
Phikeias Simcoke, Null, Barker, and Shannon are upholding
the reputation of former outstanding Phikeia
footbaU players on the freshman team. McKillip and
Pay were pledged to the Strollers, and Sedgwick was
pledged to Scabbard and Blade. In the field of
journalism we dominate. Pay being business manager
of the Volante, and McKiUip assistant business manager.
McLane is business manager of the Coyote, yearbook.—HANS
H. HOMEYER, Reporter.
TENNESSEE ALPHA—We have just completed
another very successful rushing season during which
we pledged twenty men. The chapter .is industriously
striving to teach these Phikeias the art of defending
the Founders Trophy which we have just won for
