TAU BETA SIGMA TBS packs up for New York by WENDY WILKINS and TRACI GRAVES Your band uniform is torn, you somehow misplaced your tuba and on top of that, hunger strikes. Never fear, Tau Beta Sigma will save the day. The purpose of TBS, the women ' s counterpart to Kappa Kappa Psi, was to assist band members. Besides delivering water at band rehearsals, the women altered uniforms and sold T-shirts with the Longhorn Band insignia. To combat hunger at away games, members packed sack lunches for the trip. Early in the semester, TBS provided freshmen with lunch during hell week. They also made the practice flags used by the corps at a six-hour sewing party. The use of the orange flags in practice allowed the game fbi s to be kept in good condition for halt time per- formances. Along with KKP, the group organized the packing for the trip to New York and the Penn State game. They coordinated the loading so each student had his luggage on the same bus he was riding to the airport. TBS was also involved socially with the band. They invited all band members to a picnic and Sadie Hawkins dance in the spring. To honor graduating members, the organization did its own version of Bleeps ' N ' Blunders at a farewell dinner. Alumni were entertained by the pledges at a brunch given in their honor. During the Mother-Father-Daughter Brunch parents were given the chance to tell em- barrassing stories about their offspring. The Band-o-Rama, a series of con- certs by LHB in the spring, was helped along by TBS and KKP. The two worked together to set up and break down the set for rehearsal as well as schedule the actual concerts. We make life a whole lot easier for the band members. We do a lot of the dirty work but it ' s all worth it because we ' re working toward the betterment of the band, said Susan Feltch, president.

. !;; . . KAPPA KAPPA PSI Band association provides inside support network by WENDY WILKINS The men of Kappa Kappa Psi believed that blood, especially orange blood, was thicker than water. KKP, an honorary service organiza- tion of the Longhorn Band, strived to build brotherhood and provide assistance to band members. The band ' s flight to New York for the Penn State game and their appearance on NBC ' s Today Show was made much easier thanks to the packing ef- forts of KKP as well as Tau Beta Sigma, their sister organization. Other tradi- tional duties included providing soft drinks and apples during each football game. Barbecues for all band members were also sponsored by KKP before each home game. The UT community benefited from KKP as well. Members helped residents of Hardin House dormitory move in at the beginning of the school year to raise money for refreshments.

ALPHA PHI OMEGA Zilch keepers celebrate 50th by JULIA BLAILOCK On May 25, 1935, a special event oc- curred at the University of Texas. This was the night that Roe Hartley, the national president of Alpha Phi Omega, formally installed its first chapter in the state of Texas, Alpha Rho at the University. Frank Dominguez III, the newly elected president, along with 24 other charter members, built this frater- nity into an important organization. To celebrate their golden anniversary, Alpha Rho invited their alums to Austin to participate in a weekend of festivities. A. J. Garcia, 50th anniver- sary chairperson, planned many ac- tivities for the weekend of March 22-24. On Friday, collegiate members and alumni met at Scholz Garten to be- come reacquainted and to celebrate the birthday of their patron saint, Elmer T. Zilch Jr. Saturday afternoon Elmer Zilch Jr., is returned by John Pence as president Chuck Haughton takes the oath to take better care of him.
