Gamma Xi Chapter 1 One hundred and ten years ago, in August of 1839, the sparkle ol' the Beta Theta Pi Diamond first appeared on the campus of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. In subquent years the Diamond has come to rest on prac- tically every major campus in the United States. The Diamond's rays finally fell upon the University of Florida campus in 1930, through the efforts of the fine men of the Delta Tau local. Since then, the Diamond has been carried into every phase of campus activity by fraternal brothers and leaders. This year's leaders include such outstanding men as Ed Grafton, business manager of the Alligator, Ed Davis, Inter-Fraternity Conference president, and fraternity advisor, Dave Perrin, president of Chalk and Eraser, honorary education fraternity, john Carter, student assistant in charge of the Florida Union staff, Ralph Wilson, president of the Florida Players Apprentice group, and member of Florida Players, jack Rogerson, treasurer of Alpha Phi Omega, Charles Pruitt, vice-president of the Gator Pep club, and Maynard Hamblin, treasurer of the jr. Inter-Fraternity Conference. In the field of athletics the wearers of the Beta Diamond have won three intramural trophies-track, table tennis, and horseshoes. To perpetuate the Diamond, twenty men came into the light on March 27. A most promising group of men, eight made the freshman track team and three Phi Eta Sigma, freshman scholastic fraternity. To one of these three, Robert Rich, for earning the highest freshman scholastic average, was given the Rex Catlin Memorial Pin, a recent gift to the chapter as a memorial to a Beta of an earlier day, The Diamond took on a brighter gleam this year when the house ap- peared with a new coat of paint, newly tiled showers, new dining room furniture, and newly landscaped front yard. Serving the chapter this year as officers were: Stanley Poole, president, john A. Lewis, vice-president, Earle E. Peeples, seeretaryg and David Parrish, treasurer. As it is a quality of a diamond to increase in brilliance and value with the passing years, so will the Beta Diamond ever continue to gain in fraternal spirit and university achievement. A in ,.
