Entitled the Frosh Deal , the living room of the Gamma Phi house was converted into a miniature Monte Carlo. Crowds of Freshmen gathered about the tables for a game of roulette, black- jack, or dice. Those who felt the dancing urge rolled back the rugs and turned on the radio, while the majority who felt the eatin ' drinkin ' urge filled the patio where root beer and cookies were served. With the open house behind them as a big success the council began plans to put on a dance during the 5th War Loan Drive on campus. Admission in the form of a war stamp entitled the holder to sway to the music of one of the top bands. The dance was just one more notch in the calendar of successful Freshman events. 90

The vice- presidency was handled by vivaci- ous Eleanor Ellie Brown, a Tri- Delt, while Ruth Session, A.E. Phi, kept track of all official correspond- ence, and Beverly Brewster, an Al- pha Chi, held the purse strings. With the help of a most coopera- tive and ambitious council, these officers put over the Frosh Deal and War Loan dance.
