Sigma ch i artistic sigma chis wooed by plain-jean coeds Being wooed by many coeds was a reality for the Sigma Chis this fall as many feminine students tried to get their jeans labeled before the Sigma Chi Derby. But the valiant men played fair by wielding their • ' ' paint brushes only during the Derby. After the annual event, the Sigma Chis turned to less artistic activities including a carolling party with the Alpha Phis. The carollers went to the Children ' s Hospital for some serious serenading and then re- turned to the Sigma Chi house for a dancing party. AT THE SIGMA CHI DERBY, girls dive into a tub of mud (above) in search for 50-cent pieces and Derby Queen Cynthia Oakie {right) draws whistles from the boys. Other exciting winter events for the men and their dates were the annual pledge formal and the Famous Couples Dance, to which the couples came costumed in anticipation of winning a prize. Highlighting the Sigma Chi social calendar was the South Sea Island Party, which resulted in the house being decorated with a waterfall coming down the stairway, and the Sweetheart Dance. Rendy Ayers, president; Dick Shaver, vice presi- dent; Ron Pisha, secretary and Jim Movius, trea- surer; led the Sigma Chis this year. Mrs. Vera Allen is the housemother. 713 AURORA AVENUE 311

Sigma nu To the showers you must go, sang the Sigma Nus as they often carried another water, water crier off to his penalty. The unlucky victims were still punished this year even though the water, water tag was finally removed from the snake house in the fall when the men proved their academic worth. The Sigma Nus also proved their prowess by winning first place in the 1958 CU Days Songfest mixed division group. Having sent the pledges out one spring day to meet the ATO pledges in the annual Blackfoot Fight, the actives were greatly pleased when their boys r eturned from the battlegrounds with triumphant smiles and the much-honored trophy in their hands. Other activities the Sigma Nus participated in were CU Days float building and bike race, Home- coming house decorations, ISA basketball tourna- ment, numerous intramural sport events, Campus Chest and IFC activities. Sigma Nu officers this year were Ken Bollman, president; Joe Dowler, vice president; Howie Green- wood, secretary, and Bob Showalter, treasurer. Mrs. Helen Crawford served as housemother.
