DRIFT A chronicle of student activity and achievement in the year of the great campus invasion of postwar GI Joes ansl GI Janes and prewar teens . . . sometimes known as the year of the Butler Bulge. Recorded by a student staff under the direction of Bob Wells, Editor; Ruth Ellen Pohlar, Associate Editor; and Don Payne, Business Manager. ' ith the largest nunihfir of students in the school ' s history tumbling o r each other on the Fairview campus, a hostg i il educators arrived, class sched- ules were expa pe and the regular class week was extended through Saturday morning. For this is the yiear history will record as Butler ' s greatest.

THE FlfiHTIIG m i r H In the bowl and in the fieldhouse, at football games and during basket- ball season, there is always a large cheering section to sing the Butler War Song and give out the fighting cry. Always loyal to the Bulldogs, students thrill with pride at victory and accept with courage the sting of defeat. ,: ' RELIGION BUILDING JORDAN HALL • sir n ,!• ' ' - ' ITT. , ' nt, P;io(o by George F. Tilford, IndiatiapoUn Xc FIELD HOUSE JORDAN HALL and CAMPUS From a bird ' s-eye view Jordan Hall is seen in the center of the 246 acre campus located on the northwest side of Indianapolis. BUTLER 1947 s leepy Joe is only one of the students in the Butler Bulge . . . his name could be Joe or Jane for he is Mr. (and Miss) Average Butler Citizen ... he has walked the halls of Jordan and witnessed the chang- ing scene ... he has welcomed the veteran and con- gratulated the senior ... he has seen the university resume a full-scale athletic program . . . join the newly formed Mid-American Conference of Urban Universities . . . win the Indiana Intercollegiate con- ference football title . . . and enjoyed the return of full-scale social festivities. So as the typical Butlerite, Sleepy Joe is seen on the following pages DRIFTing through the school daze. HE REGISTERS and pays HIS DOUGH during the Battle of Registration, September, 1946. The week of the siege sees Sleepy Joe conferring with his advisory staff, the faculty members, and outlining a plan of attack for the semester. Careful plans are laid for his program and a class schedule is arranged. Next he is confronted with two days of waiting in lines that are long and slow-moving. On the third day out an ofi cial communique from the front convinces him that Plan A must be abandoned be- cause many classes have been wiped out by the great campus invasion. After consultation with Major Maxam and his staff in the Registrar ' s Office, Plan B is adopted and Sleepy Joe once more proceeds to the battlefield. Finally on Plan X he begins registration. He deciphers the university code and carries out instructions by supply- ing identical information on white, yellow, pink and tan forms. The next stand is made at Bursar ' s headquarters. Cap- tain Kendall and his lieutenants issue proper equipment and Sleepy Joe turns over the cash. Sleepy Joe then moves up to the Book Store and is confronted with scarcities of valuable materials. Rein- forcements have not arrived and the book supply is nearly exhausted, but he is issued a new notebook, two pencils and plenty of doodling paper . . . also two Butler seals and a box of university stationery. Mission completed! Sleepy Joe is victorious! He is commissioned Student at Butler University. OFF the bus . . . just in time for his first class, Sleepy Joe, like many other Butlerites, lives in town and commutes to and from the campus daily. The bus ride to the end of the line gives him a chance for last minute cramming or a few winks of sleep. The JAM in JELLY Hall . . . before class makes it difficult for Sleepy Joe to cap- ture his morning paper . . . The Collegian. After giving it a quick once over Sleepy Joe takes time to hear the good word from a few friends before traveling down the hall. At the door . . . Sleepy Joe lingers with classmates ' til the echo of the bell dies in hope that the professor will not show up and the class will be dismissed. Into Class ... he goes and the semester begins for Sleepy Joe. Be- sides lab, Butler classwork involves attending lectures and recitations and, of course, outside preparation. fTii it a w 1 down to BUSINESS As the semester advances, Sleepy Joe finds every minute of his class time being utilized to the fullest extent. He begins taking notes and soon becomes familiar with such things as collateral reading, term papers, blue books, sur- prise quizzes and mid-terms. Professors with } ' ears of study, training and experience act as commandants of the book detail for class battalions. He RUSHES Through RUSH Week Introductions, and hand-shaking, smiles and rainbow- colored punch are in order during the pre-school rushing routine of sororities and fraternities. Freshman girls are entertained at teas in the chapter houses on the opening day of Rush Week. Receiving lines seem long to rushees as they struggle to remember the names of girls in each house. Afternoon and evening parties often center around the bridge table where fresh- men are quickly introduced to that important phase of college life called bridge. New pledges receive ribbons at the pan-hellenic dinner and at the end of the week girls move into the houses accompanied by much bag- gage, bedding and teddy bears. For the men there are pats on the back, buddy chats and a modest showing of the trophy case. To let the rushee in on the swing of things, the paddle is also on exhibit. The time-honored fraternity serenade is always a selling point for perspective pledges. For the first time in several years fraternities were forced to stop rushing before the rushees ran out because of the large number of men on campus. 4 i ' ' - ' ' HE CHEERS for BUTLER Together with the regular university athletic program, intramurals again took top billing on the Fairview campus this year. All of the fraternities and other organizations boasted teams well-stocked with veterans and competition was slightly terrific. Coeds and eds came out in droves to provide enthusiastic cheer- ing sections. . . . and EATS HOT DOGS Intensive training plus keen competition makes ath- letics an important phase of university life. Butler is fortunate in having the largest fieldhouse in the state of Indiana and a fine bowl in which to hold football games. Sleepy Joe, like all loyal fans, is always on hand when the Bulldogs are battlin ' . He cheers . . . sometimes he jeers . . . but he can take it on the chin and still be a good sport. During nerve-racking minutes of the games. Sleepy Joe builds up intestinal fortitude with a hot dog. On leaving a game he relives his favorite plays of the evening and tells friends what he would have done had he been on the floor. There is also a loud and long voicing of his opinion of the officials. As a perpetual clock watcher, Sleepy Joe is always on time for lunch. Usually he is informed from within that it is time to eat long before the hands of the timepiece are straight up. In the cafeteria, as on a few other oc- casions in his college career. Sleepy Joe must wait via a line before he can eat. BOOKS BRAINWORK boredom On campi all over the country students find it necessary to take some time off from bridge, clubs and sports for a little relaxation. This they do by studying. Page after page is turned in books both large and small (mostly large) as Sleepy Joe struggles onward and up- ward in the endless search for knowledge. Sleepy Joe receives vital training for citizenship dur- ing his study hours. He learns to express and develop his own ideas while respecting the opinions of others. As his knowledge increases and his outlook broadens, he begins the realization of his ambitions and is spurred on to seek new horizons in his intended vocational or professional field. In the library Sleepy Joe finds 90,000 volumes covering almost every subject imaginable. In the card file, books are listed by their authors and by their titles. At the desk in the loaning library Sleepy Joe checks out books for home use. Trained librarians and student assistants are responsible for the efficient operation of the library. Current issues of newspapers, magazines and period- icals are available in the periodical reading room. These provide entertainment as well as a wealth of information. Bound volumes of many periodicals are kept on file for ten years. The reference room contains many valuable books in addition to the general and special encyclopedias. The Katharine Merrill Graydon division of the univer- sity library is named in honor of a distinguished Butler graduate and professor. Periodically new books are added to Miss Gray don ' s original collection of 1,432 books. Studying has become a great pastime at Butler and at times it is even found on the steps of Jelly Jail. Even though scarcities are still evident in this postwar period, Sleepy Joe always seems to find sufficient books for study. x . SLEEPY JOE ' S Favorite Course: Campusology BESIDES Readin. Ritin and Rithniatic . . . Sleepy Joe finds a wide range of activities at Butler to keep him interested during his extracurricular hours. For his class in campusology Sleepy Joe gladly spends hours in research. If grades or credit were given he would always rate an A. When he becomes analytical Sleepy Joe realizes that much is gained during his hours off duty. Lasting friend- ships are formed and interests are broadened. Character and personality are developed through association with fellow students. By learning to play as well as to work with other people, Sleepy Joe is preparing to play the game of life. Dances are always a highlight on the university social calendar. Before formal season opens, mixers are held to help new students become acquainted. Occasionally informal dances are held in the Campus Club and the fieldhouse. The year ' 47 called for expansion and an increase of facilities in the Campus Club, the social and recreational center of the campus. To accommodate the increase of students, the little green barn in back of Jordan Hall was enlarged and a soda fountain was added. New booths and a fresh paint Job completed the interior decoration. Here Sleepy Joe and his friends talk politics and basketball, play bridge and ping pong, and in general take life easy during free periods. At the counter Sleepy Joe orders sandwiches and other snacks . . . that is if he can get close enough. Between classes students drop in for a candy bar or a coke. Music at the C Club is provided by a juke box and occasionally a brave couple dances if they can find some floor space not in use. The two ping pong tables in the club receive little rest. Rabid fans keep the balls pinging and ponging from morn ' til night. When the smoke begins to clear away toward evening, the bridge kids can still be seen hard at it in some secluded corner. 8 7 DRIFT Christmas Vacation . . . Sleepy Joe Sleeps Because Butlerites are all such good li ' l students, Santa Claus Ross gives them a nice long vacation each year at Christmas time. Sleepy Joe rushes home to wish all a merry Christmas, eat a turkey dinner and sleep for two full weeks. Everyone enters into the spirit and writes letters to the jolly ol ' man with whiskers. The most popular request: Please deliver the post-vacation finals to some deserving persons in Siberia. Jordan Hall takes on a festive appearance when the Y. W. C. A. cabinet members hang wreaths on the office doors and clubs and organizations start celebrat- ing Christmas weeks in advance with parties. On the Wednesday before vacation carolers are active along sorority and fraternity row and at the homes of faculty members. With practically all groups carol- ing it is difficult to find anyone at home to listen. When the all-school Christmas convocation ends the run of social activities. Sleepy Joe hurriedly packs the dirty clothes accumulated during the semester, care- fully forgets books and notes, and goes home for the holidays. After New Year ' s Sleepy Joe returns to school to rest up from his vacation. HE BURNS THE MIDNIGHT OIL . . . According to Webster, an examination is a test of knowl- edge or fitness. Final exams, then, are well-named, for they are the last tests of the semester and determine how much knowledge the students have absorbed. Examination Book Nam. -)©-£tJL l y During Exams Through the years Butler has developed its own version of the popular quiz pro- gram. Zero hour is final exam week, a special week set aside at the end of each semester when students are bombarded with questions on everything from anthropo- logical ancestry to Zeuctocoelomata (that covers about everything from A to Z). The besieged Sleepy Joe awakes one day from his normal half-sleeping state to dis- cover that finals are upon him and he still has three term papers and a book report to complete. At this point sleep ceases for Sleepy Joe and cramming begins. He immediately dusts olif his books, re- trieves his glasses from the latest novel, disconnects the telephone and digs in. He begins to wade through class notes, but they are so decorated with phone num- bers, Greek letters and original art work he becomes distracted. As the clock strikes midnight he is shocked back into reality. To find out which final is first, he begins reading the Collegian. Before coming to the schedule he reads two news-stories, a column and the sports page. His book cracks with newness as he finally opens it to begin reading the 1,229 1 3 pages. Sleepy Joe became acquainted with a crib when he was very young, and as a college student he has a desire to revert to his childhood. With great ingenuity he compounds a crib of the entire book, but it ' s all in fun and he uses it only for review. (It says here in fine print.) Blue books are very popular with pro- fessors and very unpopular with students during exam week. In these books go all that the student knows (or doesn ' t know) and out of these same books comes the grade verdict for the semester. When his last final is over Sleepy Joe is bedraggled, bewildered and befuddled. AND SO THE YEAR GOES General supervision of student life is undertaken by separate offices for men and women. The Men ' s Council is headed by Prof. L. Gray Burdin, chairman, and the affairs of women students are treated through the Dean of Women, Dr. Elizabeth B. Ward. Membership in the Alumni Association is held by all graduates of the university and by former students who did not graduate; by members of the faculties; and by persons who have received honorary degrees from the university. Mr. George A. Schumacher is the alumni secretary-treasurer. The Health Service gives medical examination and treatment correlated with physical education and train- ing for participation in sports. In addition to the physi- cians in charge, a registered nurse is on duty every day. Another of the many services ofifered to Butler Uni- versity students and faculty members is the campus post office. Mr. Arthur S. Kendall, bursar, is the chief clerk in charge and Mrs. Evelyn Wickstrom is the assistant. The Evening Division and Summer Sessions are under the direction of Dr. George F. Leonard. In cooperation with the deans of the colleges and department heads. Dr. Leonard organizes all courses to be given and super- vises the work done in these courses. The office of Public Relations functions as a news bureau for the university. It handles all information that goes to the press, the radio, and other publications in both academic and ath- letic matters. Mr. John T. Barnett, director of public relations, also serves as assistant to the president in the everyday routine at the university. Sleepy Joe often receives helpful advice and guidance from these offices during his school years. GRADUATION CUM JUNE To graduate cum laude or magna cum laude is a distinction but to graduate just plain cum June is quite an accomplishment. It takes four long years and a great deal of Mr. Churchill ' s blood, sweat, and tears to win the coveted A. B. or B. S. degree. Some coeds give up along the line and settle for the MRS. degree. Sleepy Joe is so impressed with the seniors ' academic regalia and the commencement exercises he vows that one day he too will be a wearer of the cap and gown. He looks longingly at the diplomas and he congratu- lates the new Butler alumni. He is reminiscent with a senior who is packing his four-year collection of books, hats, keys, pins. Collegians, Drifts, and other souvenirs . . . evidence of a college life lived to the fullest. Equipped with knowledge that will be applicable . . . friendships that will be lasting . . . and memories that will be cherished . . . the senior bids adieu to Fairview and the college daze. ' ■:r THE UNIVERSITY JL o establish, found, maintain, and perpetuate an institution of learning of the highest class, for the education of the youth of all parts of the United States, and especially of the states of the Northwest; to establish in said institution departments or col- leges for the instruction of the students in every branch of liberal and professional education; to educate and prepare suitable teachers for the com- mon schools of the country; to teach and inculcate the Christian faith and Christian morality as taught in the sacred Scriptures, and to promote the sciences and arts. — from the original charter, tvritten by Ovid Butler. Dr. M. O. ROSS Familiar to everyone, this congenial man, admired and respected by teachers and students alike, is a lasting in- spiration to the thousands of young men and women who attend Butler University. BUTLER ' S PRESIDENT Dr. M. O. Ross, president of Butler University, has successfully guided Butler through the war years of con- fusion and into the difficult period of readjustment. He was instrumental in adding the University College which enables students in their freshmen and sophomore years to get a well-rounded education leading to the specialized and pre-professional courses of the junior and senior years, and in the purchase of the Indianapolis College of Phar- macy, which became a part of the University in 1945. Under the active leadership of Dr. Ross, Butler has expanded and enlarged its facilities to accommodate the increasing number of students, many of whom are veter- ans. Numerous building plans that were retarded by war will soon be put into operation. In addition to his duties as president, Dr. Ross is still serving as Acting Dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Kentucky Wesleyan College, his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Chicago. Before coming to Butler, Dr. Ross served as a professor of economics at universities and colleges in Indiana and Tennessee, and as Dean of Earlham College. Dr. Ross came to Fairview as Dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration in September, 1938, and became president in February, 1942. The president is the author of books and articles on banking and finance. He is married and has a small son. He lives in the president ' s house at the university. Butler is proud of its president — proud of his interest, ability and foresight — proud of his record in helping the university maintain its traditional high standards. HHin fc '  . - ' J T 1 !

Miss Burdyne Rohl, about many matters including speaking engagements. The president is often called upon to speak to business and professional organizations and high school groups. As president and as chairman of the Administrative Council, Dr. Ross integrates all phases of the university program. The council is composed of representatives of both the administration and the facultj ' . In addition to his many activities Dr. Ross finds time to have personal conferences with many students. Each semester Dr. Ross teaches at least one class in economics to advanced students. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Butler University is fortunate to have as members of its Board of Directors men and women with a strong sense of responsibility who give unstintingly of their time and devotion in the development of the modern institu- tion on the Fairview campus. Their keen foresight and wise leadership will lead to even further development and ever expanding growth of the school as the years unfold. The members of the Board of Directors include Hilton U. Brown, president; Emsley W. Johnson, vice- president; John W. Atherton, secretary-treasurer; Crate D. Bowen, Arthur V. Brown; Earl Crawford; Glen R. Hillis; J. I. Holcomb; Hugh Th. Miller; Mrs. Hugh Th. Miller; Raphael H. Miller; John F. Mitchell, Jr.; G. Barret Moxley; Peter C. Reilly; John R. Rees; M. O. Ross; Mrs. Ralph M. Spaan; Evan B. Walker; Kenneth K. Woolling; and Mrs. William A. Zumpfe. HILTON U. BROWN . . . one of Butler University ' s oldest, living alumni, is president of its Board of Directors. Mr. Brown, a mem- ber of the class of 1880, has been instrumental in helping Butler grow from a small college to a university embody- ing six colleges. He has endeared himself to alumni and students alike with his never-failing interest and friendliness. Mr. Brown can often be seen around campus taking an active part in the school from which he received his A. B. and A. M. degree. In 1935 the honorary LL.D. was conferred upon him. More than 45,000 diplomas of Butler graduates have been signed by this man who has attended all but two graduations since he was graduated. Hilton Brown is held in high esteem by all who know him, and is ap- propriately called the grand old man of the university. EMSLEY W. JOHNSON . . . vice-president of the Board of Directors is a promi- nent lawyer in Indianapolis and very active in civic affairs in the city and state. He is vice-president of the board of trustees of Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music and of • the Jordan Foundation. Also he is a member of the American and Indiana State Bar Associations, the In- dianapolis Foundation and the William E. English Foundation. Mr. Johnson serves as president of the Old Settlers Association and the Indiana Astronomical Society. He is a past president of the Indianapolis Bar Association, the Lawyers Club and the Indiana Society of Pioneers. A member of the class of 1900, Mr. Johnson also re- ceived the degrees of Ph. B. from the University of Chicago and LL.B. from the Indiana Law School. JOHN W. ATHERTON ... as secretary- treasurer of the Board of Directors, is largely responsible for the financial success of projects concerning the university. To Butler ' s Jack Atherton, a member of the class of 1900, goes much of the credit for increasing the assets of the school from a small figure to approximately $9,000,000. Besides being an ardent supporter of Butler Univer- sity, Mr. Atherton has been one of the leading citizens of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana. In 1940 he was elected a State Senator in the Legislature and was re- elected in 1944. A loyal member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, Mr. Atherton has been a member of the Columbia Club, the Indianapolis Rotary Club, the Central Christian Church, and the Council for Central Indiana Boy Scouts. DR. C. R. MAXAM, Butler Registrar assumes many university duties. Besides being in charge of all registra- tion, Dr. Maxam, as chairman of the Veterans ' Council assists veterans regarding their military service credits. He also serves as director of admissions and evaluates high school and college credits of all students. As director of placement he helps find part-time and full-time posi- tion for Butler students. ARTHUR S. KENDALL as university bursar, handles the jobs of purchasing agent for Butler, accounting for bookstore and cafeteria, director of the post office, business manager of athletics, and supervision of Drift activities. On Mr. Kendall ' s capable shoulders rest the financial worries of an entire university. His advice and counsel often is solicited by both organizations and individuals. GEORGE A. SCHUMACHER, since 1937, has been alumni secretary at Butler. Through his efforts the active alumni membership has been greatly increased and or- ganized into alumni clubs. Each summer the alumni office contacts alumni by mail. Mr. Schumacher edits the monthly Butler Alumnus which carries alumni and school news, and is an assistant professor of English. In addi- tion, all literature mailed to high school seniors and in- quiries concerning Butler University are handled by Mr. Schumacher. DR. GEORGE F. LEONARD has an important role at Butler as director of the Evening Division and Summer Sessions, associate professor of education, and director of the Student Welfare Agency. His duties include the or- ganization and supervision of evening and summer school courses, approving organizations ' budgets, auditing stu- dent accounts and providing aid to students from the Mothers ' Council. The preparation of promotion bul- letins and publications for these divisions is also handled by Dr. Leonard. ADMINISTRATION Behind the scenes at Butler University are a group of capable administrators, each in charge of specific duties, all directly responsible for the smooth running of the institution. Although they do not serve in an active teaching capacity, their efforts provide many of the serv- ices which the students and faculty receive. Too little is known about the great amount of work involved in keeping the records and supplying the additional facilities which are so vitally necessary to a college student. The history of the Butler library dates back to the early days of the university. Many excellent collections of books have been presented to the library since that time. On the shelves are volumes of books and bound periodicals in addition to the unbound issues of peri- odicals, newspapers and pamphlets. The staff includes Harold L. Boisen, librarian; Faye Cantrall, assistant librarian; Thelma Schuler, catalogue librarian; Dorothea Berry, reference librarian; Emily Helming, Graydon librarian; Mrs. Charles A. Wilson, loan librarian; Marjorie Harvey, reserve book librarian; and Betty J. Mathis, secretary. The Graydon Memorial Library was presented to the university by Katherine L. Graydon, a former professor of English, and the Indianapolis Panhellenic Association made possible the establishment of the periodicals room in 1941.

RATTI Down through the centuries Lemnian Athena, commonly known as Minerva the Goddess of Wisdom, has represented scholarship and a broad, liberal educa- tion. The objectives of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences embrace these elements in preparing students to live a full, useful life. COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES The school year of 1946-47 ends for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the retirement of Dean Gino A. Ratti. After his resignation, Dean Ratti will continue to serve Butler in the capacity of head of the Department of Romance Languages, and professor of French. Since 1920, Dean Ratti has been connected with the oldest active college within Butler University. Dean Ratti received his A. B. and A. M. degrees from Middlebury College and his Ph. D. from the University of Grenoble. The objectives of the college embrace the following basic elements: Interpretation of human experience as expressed in language, literature and the Fine Arts; use of the scientific method of procedure in the ac- quisition of knowledge; broad, thorough knowledge of the world; exact and systematic thinking; moral and ethical evaluation of human activity; and opportuni- ties for specialization and for creative effort. Major subjects may be chosen from any of the fol- lowing fields: botany, chemistry, economics, English, French, German, Greek, history, home economics, jour- nalism, Latin, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, speech, Spanish and zoology. The work in economics and jour- nalism is given in the College of Business Administra- tion.

Increased interest of veterans in the field of business gave rise to a greatly expanded program in the Col- lege of Business Administration this year. Keyed to the needs of students preparing for careers in the busi- ness world courses are designed to equip them with a knowledge and understanding of the changing and developing character of economic society and the re- sponsibilities that are laid upon educated men and women engaged in economic and journalistic activity. Established in 1937, the college is still headed by Dean Maurice O. Ross, president of Butler, and Assist- ant Dean Merwyn G. Bridenstine. A separate division of the College of Business Administration is the De- partment of Journalism. Dr. De Forest O ' Dell returned to Butler this year to take over the duties as head of this department. Journalism majors supplement classroom knowledge with laboratory work on the campus daily newspaper, The Col eg an, and on newspapers and magazines throughout Indiana. Students may specialize in one of three fields: General Editorial, Newspaper Business and Advertising, or Community Journalism. Work is offered in this college in the fields of general business, marketing, personnel management, purchas- ing, traffic management, credit management, account- ing, and insurance. Under the guidance of Dr. R. I. Mehr, Butler University has become one of the major schools in the field of life insurance training. An annual scholarship is awarded by the American United Life Insurance Company of Indianapolis to a student of at least junior standing who is majoring in life in- surance and interest and qualified to enter the market- ing and service branch of the life insurance business. DEAN P. M. BAIL Practice teaching is an important phase of the training students receive in the College of Education. In this way the student is introduced to the actual prob- lems of the teaching profession. COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The education of teachers, supervisors, and adminis- trators for positions in kindergartens, elementary schools, and high schools is the major purpose of the College of Education. Under the direction of Dean P. M. Bail and his faculty the education student is given a broad, general education, intensive work in the subjects to be taught, specialized training in pro- fessional courses introducing the student to the prob- lems of teaching, and a program of supervised student teaching in the Indianapolis Public Schools. Instruction in the College of Education is organized in seven departments: elementary education (including kindergarten); secondary education; physical educa- tion; educational psychology; administration; history and philosophy of education; and supervised teaching. The curriculum also includes preparation in certain specific fields such as the education of exceptional children. In affiliation with John Herron Art School and Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music students are prepared to teach and supervise art and music both in elementary and high schools. Students who expect to qualify for an Indiana teacher ' s license may complete the requirements for the certificate and at the same time complete the re- quirements for the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in elementary, secondary, or physical education. Graduate students may secure the degree of Master of Science in Education and at the same time complete the requirements for administrative licenses.

In addition practically all grad- uate students have their own congre- gations. SCHOOL OF RELIGION Cory, Holmes, Walker Top Picture: Shelton, Kershner, Nakarai. Bottom Picture: Burdin, Smith, The School of Religion, Butler University, with its beautiful new building, is one of the largest and best equipped ministerial training schools in the country. Last year students were enrolled from AG colleges and universities and eight seminaries. They came from 31 states and two foreign countries. The School of Religion was established in 1924, and moved into its graceful, commodious, Georgian build- ing in 1942. The building houses worshipful Sweeney Chapel, classrooms, seminars, offices and the theological library of 30,000 volumes, including the largest collec- tion of Disciple literature. A graduate institution and an accredited member of the American Association of Theological Schools, the primary purpose is to train candidates for the ministry and for allied forms of religious service. The curricula of the schools, also cultural in value, furnishes to stu- dents the knowledge and technique for productive work in the fields of pastoral, evangelistic, educational, missionary, ministry and in the vocations of social service. The school is also one of the supporting in- stitutions of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Jerusalem and Baghdad. The deepening and broadening of the religious life of those who attend the school is a consideration of the greatest importance. Daily devotional services are held in Sweeney Chapel. These services are a vital part of the life of the school community. A series of lectures each year, one in the fall and another in the spring, also contribute greatly to the enrichment of the school community. DEAN EDWARD H. NILES The College of Pharmacy dispensing room is a storehouse for supplies and drugs. Students get materials here for making up prescriptions and for labora- tory experiments. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Butler ' s newest college is the College of Pharmacy. It was established in 1945 by merger with the Indian- apolis College of Pharmacy. The latter institution had been in operation about 35 years, and had played a prominent part in the development of pharmaceutical education. Edward H. Niles is Dean of the College of Pharmacy. Its alumni hold positions of distinction in the field of pharmacy in Indiana and other states. The College of Pharmacy holds membership in the American Associa- tion of Colleges of Pharmacy and is accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education. Graduates of this college are not only prepared to operate drug stores, but also to become hospital phar- macists, to enter the wholesale drug field, pharma- ceutical, chemical, biological and cosmetic industries, and to be analysts and inspectors for health boards and other government agencies. At the earliest possible date a new building for pharmacy and related sciences will be erected on the Butler campus. For the present, the larger part of the work in pharmacy courses is being given in the build- ings at 800 East Market Street. Members of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are also giving instruction in some courses there and a number of pharmacy students attend regular classes on the Butler campus.

SENIORS Left to right: BILL RANSDELL ROSE AUCE HUMPKE BARBARA PATTERSON JACK PATTERSON On the morning of June 9, 1947, 400 seniors, making up the largest graduating class in the history of Butler University, donned caps and gowns, received their diplomas and left the Fairview campus to take their places in the world. While only a few had been classmates for the entire four years, there was, nevertheless, a strong unity among the members of the class. Led by class officers Bill Ransdell, Delta Tau Delta, president; Rose Alice Humke, 2 ta Tau Alpha, vice-president; Barbara Patterson, Delta Delta Delta, secretary; and Jack Patterson, Sigma Nu, treasurer, the class made an effort to revive and preserve all the traditions that had gone forgotten during the war years. In academic regalia the seniors participated in the Founders ' Day and Honor Day ceremonies. The annual Senior Ball, which highlighted the social season, was under the able guidance of Paul Robey, Sigma Chi. The traditional senior gift presented to the school will remain as a monument to the Class of ' 47. CLASS of ' 47 AHONEN, DOUALD L. ALSOP, LOUIS ARMITAGE, FRED A., JR. ATHEY, LAVONNE G.

JUNIORS Left to right: ROBERT COYNER CHARLENE HARRISON DEAN E. WILDMAN ELINOR ALLSWORTH ROBERT MATTHEWS The Junior Class sparked with the return of many veterans in addition to the original class of ' 48 had its election in October. Robert Matthews, Lambda Chi Alpha, was named president of the class; Charlene Harrison, Pi Beta Phi, vice-president; Eleanor AUsworth, Delta Gamma, secretary; Robert Coyner, treasurer; and Dean Wildman, prom chairman. From the beginning these officers with a very co-operative class determined to return the Junior Prom to its place as the most remembered social event of the year. With this idea in mind a Prom to surpass all Proms was planned and Dick Jurgens and his orchestra provided the music. The dance was held April 11 at the Indiana Roof. Campus fraternities revived the tradi- tional Prom breakfasts and a free ticket to the ball plus a gift certificate for L. Strauss and Co., Inc., was awarded to the winner of the beard-growing contest. The Junior Prom queen and her court reigned over the affair. In the other large venture of the class much credit goes to Bob Wells, Phi Delta Theta, and the members of his staff for one of the finest Drifts in Butler history.

Clubs and honoraries hold meetings, committees make plans and students rush madly from one room to another in a vain attempt to keep up with all the extra- curricular activities. Butler boasted a full-scale activity program this year for the first time since before the war. Practically all organizations which had been on an inactive basis were revived and ample opportunities were offered all students for stimulating interests outside the classroom. STUDENT COUNCIL First Rou left to right: Diivall, Gill, Hann, Taggart, Christie. Second Row, left to right: LeBien, Pittenger, Stone, Piel, Sivanii, Roiishiem, Billeter, O ' Brian. Student government not supervised directly by the ad- ministration and faculty is under the jurisdiction of the Student Council. The Council conducts all class and queenship elections, regulates electioneering and super- vises all campus organizations except the social frater- nities and sororities. Also, the Council helps to select student representatives to serve on certain faculty com- mittees which direct activities not under Student Council supervision. This year the Council secured for the student body a series of dances held usually on Wednesday evening. Plans for the revision of the constitution of the Butler student body were made in the spring, and voted on by the students at the time of the regular Student Council election. The Council consists of 14 members elected by the classes which they represent: six seniors, five juniors and three sophomores. The two sophomores receiving the most votes fill two-year terms, as do the three members who are elected juniors. The other sophomore and the three elected seniors serve for one year only. The President of the Council is also president of the student body. Thelma Endicott Tann served as president this year. Ann Gill served as secretary and Rebecca Taggart served as chairman of the elections committee. Other members were Irma Piel, Jean Pittinger, Marian Stone, Bill Wildman, Les DuVall, Earl O ' Brien, Betty Keough, Mary Elizabeth Swann, Betty Lou Billeter, Scott Christie and Rosemary Ronshiem. Professor Virginia Brunson and Dr. A. Dale Beeler served as faculty ad- visers of the Student Council. ' f I •.■.

UTES SCARLET QUILL First Row, left to right: Bales, Lucas, Kessler, Goepper. Second Row, left to right: Coxen, Aufderheide, Goodrich, Hearne. Scarlet Quill is the senior women ' s scholastic honorary organization. Members are chosen from junior coeds out- standing in scholarship, character, personality, leadership and participation in extracurricular activities. Traditionally new members are Capped at the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. Spring Sing. Graduating Scarlet Quill members go through the audience and place their mortar boards on the heads of the chosen girls and formally present them to the school. Members of the group may be recognized by their white crew hats trimmed with a scarlet quill. The identi- fication pins are small gold quills. The purpose of Scarlet Quill is to foster valuable university activities and to aid in the development of leadership and responsibility among its members. This year Scarlet Quill celebrated its silver anniversary with a banquet at the Woman ' s Departmental Club. At that time, a set of books about famous women were pre- sented to the university. A special book plate has been placed inside the books and such books will become an annual presentation by the Scarlet Quill alumnae associa- tion. On Honor Day an annual scholarship for one semester is awarded by the organization to the sophomore girl who has achieved the highest scholastic average during the first three semesters of her university work. Another activity which the group sponsors is the presentation of gold cups for the best sorority and fraternity house deco- rations at Homecoming. Alpha Chi Omega and Delta Tau Delta won the honors this year. Each year the or- ganization invites alumnae to an Honor Day tea. Dinner meetings were held on the first Tuesday of each month in the cafeteria. Scarlet Quill ' s goal this year was to make plans for petitioning for a Mortar Board chapter at Butler. On Valentine ' s Day the members sold roses to Butler students in order to help finance their Mortar Board petition. Barbara Seeger was president of the honorary this year; Barbara Lucas, vice-president; and Marion Stone, secre- tary-treasurer. Mrs. Alice B. Wesenberg is the faculty sponsor. ?f B MEN ' S ASSOCIATION First Row, left to right: Kerbox, Kyvik, O ' Brien, Fine, Manifold, W., McSemick, Hoff.

The coming of 1947 found the B Men ' s Association again at full strength. With its revival came a renewal of Butler traditions and memories which have been added to year after year since Butler athletics began. It is the aim of the B Men ' s Association to bring about a better understanding, and closer co-operation be- tween the student body and the men who participate upon the field of athletics for the Blue and White. To earn a B is an honor and it takes many hours of practice, patience, loyalty and co-operation. Butler ' s victories and traditions are many and they are pleasant memories for those who look back upon them. Each year the B Men alumni make it possible to honor Butler ' s lettermen by having a banquet at which time awards are given. The B alums also sponsor an annual basketball and baseball game, both provide fun and entertainment for everyone. The B Men would like to thank the coaches. Art Quiesser, president of the B Men Alums, and alumni for their participation in promoting interest in Butler athletics. Bob King is president and Dee Compton is secretary- treasurer. PHILOKURIAN One of the oldest clubs at Butler is Philokurian, an English honorar) ' . The organization meets at the home of its sponsor. Dr. Sarah Sisson. This year Philo studied contemporary novels. At each meeting a book and its author were presented by two members. New members are chosen from English students who show interest in a further investigation of literary works. Candidates write a critical review before they are pledged. Traditionally Philokurian presents a book to the Butler Graydon library each year. Ofificers are elected semi- annually.

Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising honorary fraternity, concluded its first postwar year at Butler under its new reorganization plan. The local organization is known as the Merle Sidener chapter and was led this year by Don Baker, president. During the past semester, six pledges were added. The issue is being pushed to allow the members of Alpha Delta Sigma to supervise the publication of the Bulldog, which in the past has been the Butler humor magazine. The purpose of the fraternity is to promote better, more ethical advertising practices and to acquaint college men with the problems which will confront them. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA THETA SIGMA PHI Theta Sigma Phi, national journalistic honorary for women, presents two outstanding campus activities each year, the Razz Banquet and Matrix Table. Given in February this year, the traditional all-coed banquet hon- ored prominent gals around Butler with appropriate razz gifts. Matrix Table, sponsored later in the spring, is an invitational dinner for outstanding coeds on campus and journalism students. Selection of members by Theta Sig is based on contribution to journalism, high scholar- ship average and professional plans for the future. Marjorie Phillips presided over the women journalists this year abetted by Marjorie Yelvington, vice-president; and Barbara Fark, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Rosamond Risser Jon es attended to the advisory department. First Roiv, left to right: Gianakos, Phillips, Yelvington, Prof, Jones.

With several prewar members back in the fold, Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism honorary fraternity, began to take life anew in campus activities. Revival of the traditional Blanket Hop, which Don Seibert chairmaned, gave Butler its first semi-formal dance of the school year. All seniors on the football team were presented gold football key charms, and the outstanding senior gridder, as determined by Indianapolis sports writers, was given a B blanket at dance intermission by the chapter president. Ralph lula. Jack Bailey edited the BiiUegian. which was presented as the dance program. Nick Smyrnis served as vice-president. Bill Tobin, sec- retary and Bill Pittman, treasurer. Dr. De Forest O ' Dell was sponsor. SIGMA DELTA CHI KAPPA KAPPA PSI Alpha Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity for college bandsmen, was established on the Butler campus in 1929. The purpose of this organ- ization is the development of a finer interest in band music, a closer fellowship among bandsmen, and the creation of a deeper interest in campus activities with a view to developing leadership. This year only three active men returned to the fold; therefore, the activities of the chapter were limited. See- ing the need for a strengthened chapter, the actives pledged twenty-two men. These men, when initiated, will help build an excellent chapter and an outstanding band. Officers this year were Bill Thompson, president; Alan Kamplain, vice-president, and Richard Diefenderfer, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Charles Henzie, sponsor.

Lambda Kappa Sigma, national pharmaceutical soror- ity, was founded in 1913 at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy by Ethel J. Heath, librarian of the college. It has as its objective the promotion of happiness and use- fulness of its members and the creating of a center of enjoyment, friendship and culture for women in phar- macy. Being one of the two pharmaceutical sororities in the United States, Lambda Kappa Sigma has grown until there are now 21 chapters. It also has the distinc- tion of being the only pharmaceutical sorority in the state of Indiana. Phi chapter was installed at the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy June 8, 1938, at which time there were eleven charter members. The organization is for women who are majoring in pharmacy. Members must have a B average in all academic work and possess the qualities of leadership and cooperation. Fundamental arrangements have been made to divide the organization into graduate and active chapters be- cause of the increase in membership. Lucille Kavanaugh represented the chapter at the national convention in Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Edward H. Nile, who is also a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma, is sponsor of the organization. Officers for the year were Adele Lowe, president; Hazel Stevens, vice- president; Lucille Kavanaugh, secretary; and Joan Brown, treasurer.

The Blue Book and the Rhinie Guide are published annually by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. The staffs of the publications are selected from among the members of these two organizations. The Blue Book, or Student Directory, is a compiled list of all the members of the student body, faculty and administration of Butler and it includes addresses, tele- phone numbers and information concerning student ac- tivities. The staff of the 1946-47 Blue Book included Bill Ransdell, editor; Shirley Loy and Ralph lula, asso- ciate editors; and Don Baker, business manager. The Rhinie Guide is a publication distributed to all freshmen as they enter school and is designed to aid these new students in getting acquainted with Butler and its various phases of activity. The staff this year was made up of Bill Ransdell, editor; Ralph lula and Don Seibert, associate editors; Bill Tobin, sports editor; and Don Baker, business manager. THE BUTLER COLLEGIAN Mrs. Burgess and the Ed kibitz Mr. Miller. The Pipes get together. Mrs. Jones confers with Joy, Marge, and Bill. Four mornings a week The Butler Collegian is propped against coffee cups in the cafeteria, read in snatches be- tween classes and pored over by students in the library and Campus Club. During the course of the day probably every student reads the news of goings-on around the campus and items of local interest reported in the student publication. True to form, the Collegian came out in support of many worthwhile school projects, boosted student support of athletic contests, decried campus political machines and through its editorials covered everything from cur- rent government issues to irritating problems that every student encounters. In addition to these services rendered the school, the Collegian served as a laboratory for hope- ful young scribes. Revival of the annual Collegian Cheer Drive which netted clothing, coal and other necessities for the needy was a highlight in the paper ' s activities for the year. A gold cup was presented to the Sigma Chis for the largest contribution to the drive. The male faction more than held its own on the staff for the first time in several years and captured many of the pole positions. Nick Smyrnis served as editor-in-chief at the beginning of the Collegian ' s fifty-ninth year of publication and Bill Ransdell took over the editorship during the second semester. Managing editor for the first semester was Bill Tobin. Ransdell and Ralph lula were city editors and Joy Mudd was the associate editor. The editorial department was directed by Bill Pittman and Bob Sanders was in charge of the sports desk. lula held down the position of managing editor during the second semester and Smyrnis became consulting edi- tor. City editors were Joy Mudd and Pittman. Editorial director was Marjorie Phillips and the editorial page staff included Winifred Ham, Thomas Scanlon and Mike Tracey. Don Hyslop was column director. Tobin became sports editor and Georgia Gianakos was in charge of women ' s sports. Other staff members included Dale Farabee, circulation manager; Walter Hicks, photog- rapher; and Don Siebert, librarian. Don Baker served as business manager for the Collegian both semesters. Mem- bers of the beginning reporting classes covered campus beats for the paper. Dr. De Forest O ' Dell was the faculty sponsor, assisted by Mrs. Rosamond R. Jones. Mrs. Dale Burgess was in charge of the copy desk, and Everett Miller was head of the mechanical department. Mrs, Burgess deals the copy around the rim. Everybody gets in the act THE 1947 Constant and endless deadlines to meet kept Drift staff members on the jump throughout the year. Labor difficulties, paper and film shortages, printer and engraver demands were only part of the hercu- lean task facing the editors trying to publish the best book possible — on time! Bob Wells sat at the editor ' s desk and assumed responsibility for the 1947 edition. His work began early last summer when the dummy for this year ' s book was started. By fall, plans were outlined and action began. With Bob as helmsman, the 1947 Drift progressed from a loose-leaf paper dummy to a bound, printed edition ready for circulation. Payne and Wells go over the books. Christ, McGoldrick, Bond, Sims, Speake and Walters get the dope from Wells. DRIFT Don Payne as business manager was kept busy through- out the year making contracts, paying and collecting bills, keeping books and trying to keep the book within the budget — it wasn ' t easy! Associate-editor Ruth Ellen Pohlar pounded out the copy, checked proofs with the printer, took charge of the Drift Beauty Contest and assisted the editor in the day to day crises which occurred. Layout editor Don Hyslop directed the layout of the yearbook with the assistance of Pat Bond. Phil Thompson and Don Bush recorded the year ' s activities in pictures, and John Ames and Bud Speake were in charge of the photo-lab. Staff members who assisted on the publication included Molly O ' Dell, John Christ, Bucky Walters, Charles Josey, Rene Sims, Rhea McGoldrick, Mary Schrieber, Jane Judd, Phyllis Stultz, Paul Weakly, Bob Feezil, Nancy Portteus, Judy Richardson, Bill Tobin, and Bob Collins. The Drift occupies a favorite place in every Butler alumni ' s library. A permanent record of university life, the Drift is a sentimental reminder of college days for years after graduation. Conceived in the year 1891 by a group of fraternity men and women, the idea of an uni- versity annual was nourished and developed until it be- came an integral part of Butler tradition. The name Drift was suggested to an early editor by the drifts along the banks of a river. Composed of a variety of materials, the drifts float downstream and finally lodge at a bend or a bank of the river. To him the drifts were symbolic of the different kinds of mate- rials included in a yearbook. Since its beginning, publication has been annual except during the first World War and during the latter part of the depression. For several years the book was pub- lished by the Senior class but, according to early records, the Junior class took over the editorship after the 1904 issue. To the editors there is no greater satisfaction than to know that the Drift is serving its intended purpose and recording for each student memories of happy college days at Fairview.

BUSH-THOMPSON, r ' notcgrap ' ieri MSS MSS, the literary magazine at Butler, has grown into a large publication with the return of the veteran and the expansion of campus facilities. MSS does not pretend to be anything more than a laboratory magazine which presents the endeavors of the freshman and upperclassman writers. There is an effort on the part of the editorial staff to place in the magazine as many representative contributions as possible. Natu- rally the magazine carries no advertising or slick en- tertainment. In that the students in freshman classes pay for the publication, the staff feels that they are entitled to a cross-slice of what is being done in these classes. The MSS staff has not only been interested in the pro- duction of a magazine this year, but also in the indoc- trination of a cultural stimulus for prospective writers at Butler. Under the sponsorship of MSS, several well- known writers and poets have been brought to the uni- versity to speak on the experiences of the creative artist.

The Department of Religion in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences exists to serve all undergraduate stu- dents who desire some measure of ordered knowledge in the field of the Christian Religion. Furthermore, it seeks to provide a broad liberal arts foundation along with a thorough preparation in Bible study to students who plan to undertake graduate studies in schools of religion, theology, religious education, missions or social service. In this it amply fulfills the recommendations of pre-seminary studies of the American Association of Theological Schools. Among the students in the department are potential missionaries, ministers, youth workers and religious edu- cation directors. Aside from studying for their degrees many of the students are working in churches of the state in these various capacities. These students repre- sent numerous religious groups, as the department is open to people of all races and creeds alike. Although housed in different buildings on the cam- pus, the Department of Religion maintains a close co- operation with the School of Religion. Undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in the activities of this graduate school, particularly in daily worship in Sweeney Chapel, the Student Volunteers, the Ministerial Association and the Zelotai Club. Although they are drawn together by their common purpose of Christian service, fellowship between graduate and undergraduate students is promoted. The campus club sponsored by the department is the Ichthus Club.

The Accounting Society of Butler University was first conceived in the minds of a few advanced accounting majors early in the fall semester and with the helpful assistance of Professor Shors, head of the accounting department, the society was formed. Its roll call has in- creased from that small group of organizers till now its membership is forty, with a record of ninety per cent or better attendance at all of its dinner meetings. The purpose of the society is to stimulate scholarship in the accounting field and to develop a close relation- ship between the classroom and the actual accounting practice. Society membership is open to all accounting majors who have completed intermediate accounting. First officers of the organization were David Hughes, president; William Davey, vice-president; Anne Sturne- vant, secretary; Robert Terrican, treasurer; and Robert Mathews, program and publicity chairman. Richard Coffin was named Executive Council member. Horace G. Barden, president of the Indiana Association of Certified Public Accountants and manager of the In- dianapolis office of the national firm of Ernst Ernst, was the guest speaker at the first meeting held at the Warren Hotel on November I4th. Special guests were Dr. Ross and Dr. Bridenstine. At another meeting, Troy G. Thurston, a partner of the George S. Olive C. P. A. firm spoke on Federal Income Tax Practices and Pro- cedures. Throughout the remainder of the year the so- ciety heard other outstanding speakers at its monthly dinner meetings. In conjunction with the society ' s efforts to bring close relationship between the actual accounting practice and the classroom, arrangements were made with several of the large accounting firms of Indianapolis to give public accounting internships to several members of the society each year. First receivers of such internships were David Hughes, Marshall Samms, and Robert Swindler. In the spring a forum meeting was held and members of the intermediate accounting classes who expect to major in accounting were invited to give them a look into what the accounting field can hold for their future. BLUE GILLS l-irst Row, left to fight: Kirkpntrick, Aspi iall, Hurt, Lurson, Fate, Coate, AlcDowell, Second Row, left to right: Johnson, Maxwell, Billeter, Blackifell, McClaren, Pearson, Sims, Marshall. Blue Gills is an organization for girls who are both interested and proficient in swimming. Those who wish to become members are required to pass the American Red Cross examination for advanced swimmers. The pur- pose of the club is to further improve the swimming ability of its members. Swimming sessions were held every Monday night, and the business meetings were held every other Monday night before the swimming session. Each year ' s activities are climaxed by the annual water ballet which is presented in late spring, and 1947 was no exception. Blue Gills is also making plans to sponsor an inter-sorority swimming meet. A cup will be pre- sented to the winning organization. Blue Gills is organizing a competitive team to partici- pate in meets at other conference schools. The club ' s officers for the year included Betty Billeter, president; Joan Fate, vice-president; Pat Kirkpatrick, secretary; and Pat Bond, treasurer. Other members of the organization were Barbara Consodine, Betty Billeter, Bebita Corya, Marnita Dietrick, Barbara Shellhouse, Barbara Larson, Jackie Lawson, Mildred Marshall, Betty Maxwell, Connie Martin, Ginny McVey, Catherine Mor- ris, Joan Schumacher, Renne Sims, Joan Fate, Pat Bond, Betty Jean Ratliff, Pat Kirkpatrick, Evelyn Ensinger, Nancy Dye, Kacloe Smock, Norma Brown, Carolyn Mc- Claren, Pat Pearson, Kathy Hart, Peggy Aspinall, Betty Blackwell, Mary Ann Bush, Susi Swanger, Pat Coate, Sherry McDowell, Carolyn Toye, Martha Rankin, and Donna Kleyla. The sponsor is Mrs. Magdeline Davis. The swimming sessions were held at the Butler Pool in the Fieldhouse. A.W.S. The Association of Women Students, a part of the National A. W. S., is open to all college girls. The Whole Man, the theme for the year, was dis- cussed by different speakers. The organization met monthly, and joined with the Y. W. C. A. for a Christmas party. A. W. S. sponsored money making projects for the Butler Building Fund. In May the annual presenta- tion of the Scholarship cup was made to an outstanding sophomore woman, and the Attendance cup was presented to the sorority maintaining the highest percentage of attendance during the year.

It meets each Thursday in the Recreation room to hear cases of schoolhouse rule violations, and to discuss problems of coeds. The Council, made a separate unit in 1932, is headed by the A. W. S. president for the year. This year Martha Bales was president; Betty Keough, vice-president; and Marianne Buschmann, secretary; Dean Ward, sponsor. Sign out sheets from the sorority houses are checked in the Dean of Women ' s office by her, the president, and the vice-president in order to check for infringe- ment of rules. Violations of rules by girls living in private homes are reported by the owners. JUDICIARY COUNCIL GERMAN CLUB The German Club offers the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with Germany and her great men. It also gives students a chance to practice conversation at meetings. At the first meeting Mr. T. P. Fliegenschmidt presented a humorous book revievi ' .

EQUITEERS PANHELLENIC COUNCIL First Row, left to right: Hann, Wetherald, Hearne, Mudd, Gill, Beck, Goepper. Second Row, left to right: Napp, Rhode, Myers, McGoldrick, Billeter, Pittenger, Holland. The Panhellenic Council composed of the president and rush chairman of each sorority on the campus, stands for unity and co-operation among the Greek-letter or- ganizations. Although the council enforces the rules and regulations which govern the sororities, rush is the main problem with which it is concerned. During the summer, formal rush is planned and a rush booklet is prepared. Meetings are held each day during rush week to discuss any problems which arise. The council also supervises rush problems during the entire year. On September 11, 1946, the Panhellenic Council spon- sored a Panhellenic Dinner at the Indianapolis Athletic Club for the members, new pledges, alumnae and house- mothers of the seven Greek letter sororities. Guests were Dr. and Mrs. M. O. Ross, Dean Elizabeth B. Ward, Miss Louise Reiter, and Mrs. Ethelda Keiter Taylor. The annual Panhellenic Dance was held in May. At this time a May Queen was elected to reign over the dance. The council offers to all students the use of its loan fund which is at their disposal in emergency cases. This fund has been used to great advantage by many girls. This year the council appropriated funds to buy cos- tumes for the cheerleaders. Officers for the year were Joy Mudd, president, and Ann Gill, secretary-treasurer. Dean Ward is the sponsor. Council members this year included Evelyn Goepper and Muriel Holland, Alpha Chi Omega; Betty Hearne and Betty Barnhill, Delta Delta Delta; Thelma Endicott Hann and Audrey Napp, Delta Gamma; Dorothea Beck and Jean Pittenger, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Miss Mudd and Rhea McGoldrick, Kappa Alpha Theta; Miss Gill and Betty Evard, Phi Beta Phi; and Jean Weatherald and Henrietta Rhode, Zeta Tau Alpha.

Other members of the council included Dean Wild- man, Robert Matthews, Ralph lula, Harry LeBien, Wil- liam Ransdell, Scott Christie and Nick Smyrnis. Prof. L. G. Burdin, chairman of the Men ' s Council, was ad- visor for the group. The Interfraternity Council is composed of the presi- dents of the five fraternities on the Butler campus, plus one additional representative from each group. This year, as in previous years, the council endeavored to solve the common problems encountered in each fraternity, to work with the university for the good of the university, and to promote better understanding and cooperation among the members of the organizations. Many new problems during the year arose due to the return of the large number of veterans to the campus. Important changes were made in regard to fraternity activities at the university. As in the past, the council sponsored the annual Home- coming bonfire, and the Interfraternity Council formal dance. President Paul Robey appointed Gordon Gilmore, Lambda Chi Alpha, general chairman of the affair which was held in April.

It has been an organized effort to- ward furthering school spirit and promoting all things Butler. One of the important projects of the Loyalty Legion is its participation in the Homecoming activities. The organization sponsored the between-halves ceremonies of the Homecoming football game with Ball State. Officers of the Loyalty Legion at that time honored Homecoming Queen Marcia Tudor and presented her with a bouquet of roses. Winners of the house decorations were also an- nounced during the ceremony and the cups were awarded the winners. Officers during the past year were Bill Ransdell, presi- dent; Barbara Patterson, secretary; and Dick McCready, treasurer. Dr. Guy H. Shadinger, who presents to the president each year a key in memory of his son, Ted Shadinger, is faculty sponsor for the group. Although the Loyalty Legion this year was not handi- capped by a shortage of students, it was handicapped by the lack of school spirit. It has been, traditionally, the purpose of the organization to foster this school spirit, but it was found that no organization alone can bring about this spirit. Retiring officers and members leave with the hope that soon, with the help of the organiza- tion, school spirit at Butler will rise to pre-war heights.

Third Row, left to right: Bradley, Lydell, Harman, Pearson, O ' Mahoney. Early in the 1946 fall semester, there was an awakening of interest in dramatics among the university students, an interest that had remained dormant since the dissolution of the Thespians of earlier days. Under the leadership of Richard J. O. Greene, the Drama Club was reorganized and attained a membership of 60 students during the first semester of its organization. The officers of this new group included Richard Greene, president; Katie Mc- Intyre, vice-president; Bebita Corya, treasurer; Patricia Niman, secretary; Bill DeWitt, production director; and George Coffin, play director. At the beginning of the 19- 7 spring semester, it was felt that the group could no longer function in its fullest scope under the limitations of club status. At this time, with the co-operation and understanding super- vision of Prof. C. H. Walters, the Drama Club was dissolved to make way for the University Theater, a chartered, university sponsored organization, and the creation of Masque and Cue as its honorary societ} ' . Mrs. Helen McTurnan was appointed faculty director, and Greene was again accorded student leadership. Membership in the University Theater is open to stu- dents interested in any of the many phases of dramatics and in the production of theatrical presentations. The organization has been designed to provide not only an extracurricular activity in this particular field, but also as a workshop for the dramatics division of the Speech Department. Ample opportunity ' is offered for the stu- dent to gain practical experience in all fields necessary to the operation of such a workshop. The honorary society, Masque and Cue, draws its membership from candidates having sufficient achievement points in a sys- tem based on the requirements of Pi Epsilon Delta, the national dramatics honorary. THE COMMERCE CLUB All students enrolled in the college of business admin- istration are eligible for membership in the Commerce Club.

Membership is open to any student who is taking or has taken mathematics in college. Professors in the de- partment are also eligible. Programs were presented by the students, with occasional outside speakers. Two meet- ings of each year are strictly social: the Christmas party and the annual picnic.

The Young Women ' s Christian Association has en- deavored to be of service to Butler University students by providing activities in which the school as a whole may participate. Activities for the year were started by the co-sponsor- ship of the Freshman Mixer with the Y. M. C. A. The membership drive in October was begun with a tea. In December the annual joint Christmas party with the A. W. S. was held, followed in a few days by the tradi- tional wreath hanging ceremonies. In the spring the various activities included the Geneva Stunts, co-sponsored with the Y. M. C. A., the Spring Sing, and the Mother ' s Day Tea. A luncheon honoring the graduating seniors on the cabinet was given late in May. All during the year the Y. W. C. A. sponsored Coke Forums in the Campus Club.

A. of the Lamp of Wis- dom trophy, given to the organization for the most out- standing service to Butler in 1945-46, the Y. M. C. A. continued its policy of promoting student projects for the benefit of the university as well as its members. The association achieved its largest membership in history with a total of 578 male students. Lambda Chi Alpha won the trophy for contributing the most mem- berships. One of the highest totals ever obtained for a relief drive was realized during the W. S. S. F. campaign, co- sponsored with Y. W. C. A.

The Butler Band under the direction of Charles Henzie, has completed another successful year despite the handi- cap of having inadequate bandroom facilities in which to rehearse properly. During the year, the band represented Butler on nu- merous occasions. The blue uniformed members were present at many Butler functions and at the home foot- ball games and one football game away from home at DePauw University. The band marched between halves of the football games and with the help of the high stepping majorettes and color guard formed letters of the respective schools. The numerous other activities of the band were giving intermission music and half-time routines at the home basketball games, marching in the Homecoming parade and playing for Founder ' s Day, Honor Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. At Christmas time, stu- dents on their way to convocation heard a brass ensemble from the band play carols from a spot on the roof of Jordan Hall. The most outstanding feature of this year ' s band was the stimulation of school spirit at the games by the use of swingy yells, led by the energetic bandmaster and drill formations. DRUM MAJORETTES-COLOR GUARD First Roif, left to right: Lausoii, Steinbach, Hands. Second Row, left to right: Gaston, Kaiser, Steinkamp, Daniels, Doiigall, Montgomery, Smith, Donnelly, Patterson, Schreiber. The Butler Color Guard, a selected group, presented a colorful accompaniment to the Butler band during the year. Clad in traditional blue jackets and white skirts, the girls marched with the band in each of its appear- ances. Members of the group are chosen on a basis of ap- pearance, scholarship and ability to execute marching drills. During the year the girls must maintain a school- determined grade average to continue in the color guard. The color guard made its first appearance at the open- ing football game. Football fans saw the girls execute baton twirling and marching formations at the half of each home game. They made their first appearance away from home with the band at the DePauw Dad ' s Day football game. During basketball season, formations were made before the games and at half time. The combined band and color guard were honored by leading the Army Day parade through the downtown sector and also by being asked to participate in the Armistice Day parade.

The stated objectives of the organization were: to maintain interest in foreign mis- sions; to help these prepare for service; to lay an equal burden of responsibility on those at home. The Butler chapter was organized on October 20, 1941, with Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Cory as sponsors. Membership is open to all who are in sympathy with the purposes of the organi- zation. A primary object has been to create a Christian vision of the world missionary task among students at Butler University. To this end semi-monthly programs are held, at which missionaries on furlough or en route are guest speakers. Student Volunteers from Butler University who are preparing to go to foreign missionary fields are: Mr. and Mrs. Martin Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Best, George Beck- man and Ethel Brown, going to Japan; Dr. and Mrs. John E. Ross, South Africa; Robert Bond and Lloyd Tatlock, China; J. J. Hill, Korea; and Carson Fremont, the Philip- pines. The establishing and encouraging of personal interest and activity in the support of missionary work is ac- complished through the visiting of local churches, and the enrichment of the spiritual life of the student body through morning devotions and Sunday chapel services. Officers of Student Volunteers are: Robert Bond, execu- tive secretary; Ethel Brown, recording secretary; Martha Kendall, corresponding secretary; Chester Parker, finan- cial secretary; Wanda Coil, program chairman; and Mar- tin Clark, project chairman.

The Student Ministerial Association is one of the old- est organizations at the university. The organization be- gan on the old Irvington campus and was then called the Sandwich Club. Since that time it has become one of the most active associations composed of students major- ing in religion. Every student of the School of Religion and every major in religion in the Department of Reli- gion is eligible for membership. The constitution states the following purposes of the association: The fostering of high ideals of life and work among students for the Christian ministry; the expression of these ideals in an increasing sense of com- radeship in Christ, concern for the growth of the Church, and interest in the development of this school. The em- bodiment of these ideals in group projects. Through the monthly meetings and the annual so- cial events, the organization has promoted a spirit of comradeship in the common task and has advanced the cultural life of the student body. The meetings are edu- cational and present a challenge for all ministerial students. The Zelotai Club, an auxiliary organization composed of ministers ' wives, has made an invaluable contribution to the work of the association. The activities of the organization are not limited to the Butler campus. During the past year, the group sent representatives to the conferences of the Inter-Seminary Movement which were held at Bonebrake Theological Seminary at Dayton, Ohio, and has assisted in several emergency situations. Officers were: William J. Richardson, president; Harry Baird, graduate representative; Henry E. Hill, under- graduate representative; James Hunter, acting secretary and treasurer. Sweeney Chapel M FEATURES Oleepy Joe signed his name to many dance pro- grams during the activity-filled year, ' 46- ' 47. Glitter- ing proms, sorority and fraternity balls and informal hops danced the leather off his favorite shoes and kept his budget drained of any extra cash. He sweat out each queen election with a different caucus, but applauded the royal winner every time. With a Homecoming celebration, three class dances. Drift Beauty contest and all the other important social functions taking up so much time, it ' s a wonder Sleepy Joe ever stayed awake in classes — or did he? DRIFT BEAUTIES Five more coeds joined the long list of campus beauties honored each year by the Fairview yearbook. Presented as winners these girls were claimed the Drift Beauty Queens of 1947 at the annual contest held this year at the Riviera Club on December 18. With approximately 350 students witnessing the com- petition, judges P. H. Ho, photographer, Robert Weaver, of the John Herron Art School and Miss Edna Milliard, Butler mathematics instructor, narrowed the field of 31 entrants to 15 semi-finalists. Wilbur Shaw, three-time winner of the 500 Mile Race and president of the In- dianapolis Motor Speedway, acted as honorary judge and helped pick and announced the five winners. In previous years, the final five were chosen on the basis of photogenic qualities by a Hollywood celebrity. This year ' s winners received the honor of being chosen from the judging ramp. Each Greek-letter sorority, B. I. A., Trianon and the unorganized students entered three contestants. Kappa Alpha Theta received an extra entry for selling more tickets than any other organization in the contest.

One of the most impressive Home-coming celebrations in recent years was held on the Butler campus October 25 and 26. The campus was the scene of whirlwind ac- tivity with the agenda fi)r the week-end including an HOME-COMING alumni-teachers ' luncheon, freshman-sophomore fight, a radio program, parade, bonfire, house decorations contest, football game, luncheons, open houses and the dance. ACTIVITIES Sophomore defenders of the famed greased pole suc- cessfully prevented the freshman coalition from snatching the flag of victory to win the traditional freshman- sophomore fight. Sigma Nu fraternity won the trophy for the largest woodpile in the wood gathering competi- tion and the bonfire pep session had a warming effect on all who attended. Revival of the Home-coming parade, discontinued dur- ing the war years, was a highlight in the week-end ac- tivities. Sponsored by Utes and Spurs, sophomore men ' s and women ' s honoraries, the parade was held Friday afternoon in downtown Indianapolis. Cars and floats were entered by each fraternity, sorority, Trianon and B. I. A. The Butler Band and the Home-Coming queen with her escort led the procession of flotilla. Sigma Nu and Delta Delta Delta floats were judged best for origi- nality, appropriateness, decorations and costumes. Tro- phies were presented at the Homecoming dance. Saturday morning saw fraternities and sororities put- ting last minute touches on house decorations in prepara- tion for judging. Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Chi Omega came out winners in this contest sponsored annually by Scarlet Quill, senior women ' s honorary. Judges included Mr. and Mrs. Lewis W. Gilfoy and Elizabeth B. Ward, dean of women. Home-coming activities came to a climax in the after- noon as students, professors, graduates and sports fans gathered to see the Butler eleven down Ball State in the a nnual gridiron battle. The coveted Home-coming queenship title this year went to Marcia Tudor, Kappa Alpha Theta candidate. Miss Home-coming for 1946 was introduced at the foot- ball game with the members of her court: Jacque Loser, Delta Gamma; Marjorie Lang, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Patricia Smith, Delta Delta Delta; Barbara Ryan, Pi Beta Phi; and Mary Ann Marks, Alpha Chi Omega. Marcia Tudor became the only Home-coming queen in history to be crowned at a Post-Home-coming dance. Due to a booking error Barney Rapp ' s orchestra was playing in Nashville, Tennessee, while an estimated 1,500 people jammed the Fieldhouse awaiting music for the dance. Queen Marcia reigned in the royal role one week late when she was presented with the crown and Home-coming queen trophy. Scarlet Quill and Blue Key, senior honor- aries, were co-sponsors of the hop. - Si mmymmmmfi ' m C3 - % FRESHMAN ROSE DANCE Peggy Harrison, Pi Beta Phi pledge, reigned as queen over the nineteenth annual Freshman Rose Dance held this year in the Egyptian Room of the Murat Temple, February 7. During the intermission, Freshman Class President John Chestnut presented the queen with a crown of white roses, a bouquet of American beauty roses and the Rose Queen trophy. Sigma Nu fraternity was awarded a trophy for leading the ticket sale contest held between the Greek- letter organizations. Following the crowning ceremony. Miss Harrison and her court led the grand march with their escorts. Ann Bowyer, Trianon; Barbara Boyer, Alpha Chi Omega; Margery Cunningham, Zeta Tau Alpha; Evelyn Ensigner, Delta Gamma; Carolyn Lee Johnson, Delta Delta Delta; Barbara Moore, Kappa Alpha Theta; Virginia Shippey, Kappa Kappa Gamma; and Patricia Catherine Welch, un- organized, were the queen ' s attendants. Max Wilson and his orchestra played for the dancing which lasted from 9 until 12 p. m. The dance was chair- maned by John Dove assisted by Patricia Cutter, Anna Harshman, George Leamnson, Barbara Boyer and Mary Jo Pierce. Chaperons for the event were Prof. Rosamond R. Jones, Dr. and Mrs. M. G. Bridenstine, Prof, and Mrs. B. W. Sparks, and Mr. Harry R. Branson. r SOPHOMORE March 8 was the date of the annual Sophomore Cotil- lion sponsored by the second-year students at Butler. The Murat ' s Egyptian Room was the scene of the ball and Chuck Smith ' s orchestra provided music from 9 until 12 p. m. Alpha Chi Jean Minney, who was swept into the queen- ship by a majority vote of the men in her class, was crowned Sophomore Sweetheart of 1947 during the inter- mission. A trophy was also given to Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity for winning the ticket sales contest. COTILLION While more than 300 couples looked on, Sophomore Class President Walter Dodd placed a crown of white carnations on Miss Minney ' s head and presented her with a dozen red roses and a gold trophy. Members of the Queen ' s court were Carolyn Finn, Pi Beta Phi; Patsy Huber, Delta Delta Delta; Barbara Lar- son, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Joan Parkhurst, Kappa Alpha Theta; Patsy Thompson, Zeta Tau Alpha; and Marjorie Little, B. L A. Assisting John Hansgen, chairman of the dance, were Dean Wonders, tickets; Merrill Huntzinger, publicity; Jay Poole, band; John Glass and Scott Christie, hall; Joy Wichser, decorations; Walker Kemper, trophy; Berry Miller, arrangements and programs; and Jane Klepfer, guests and chaperons. JUNIOR With the music of Dick Jurgens and his Here ' s That Band Again organization as the highlight, the 1947 Junior Prom was acclaimed by many the biggest and best class dance in the history of Fairview. Approximately 1,200 Butler students witnessed the crowning of Kappa Kappa Gamma ' s Ann Metzger as queen of the traditional dance, held this year at the Indiana Roof on April 11. Climaxing the season ' s social activities, the third-year class dance lasted from 9 p- m. until 1 a. m. and was broadcast for a half hour over radio station WIRE. Three fraternities revived Prom breakfasts, a regular feature be- fore the war, following the ball, and house hours were extended to 4 a. m. for girls attending the breakfasts. PROM • • • • 1947 During the crowning ceremony Miss Metzger was pre- sented with a bouquet of roses and the Junior Prom Queen trophy. Robert Matthews, class president, made the presentation. Seated on a throne in the center of the ballroom. Queen Ann was surrounded by the members of her court which included Georgia Gianakos, and Joy Hedges, Independents; Phyllis Hollar, Delta Delta Delta; Virginia Kelly, Alpha Chi Omega; Jacque LoSer,. Delta Gamma; Barbara Park, Pi Beta Phi; Nancy Schreiber, Kappa Alpha Theta; and Dorothy Young, Zeta Tau Alpha. Norman Paxton, Sigma Nu, who won first place over 30 other candidates in the beard growing contest, was awarded a S25 gift certificate from L. Strauss and Com- pany. Also he and the two second place winners, Neal Feichter, Sigma Nu, and Bob Bevis, Phi Delta Theta, attended the Prom on free tickets. Dean Wildman was general chairman of the affair. Committee chairmen included Bob Coyner, band; Omar Bruner, beard growing contest; Athena Gianakos, deco- rations; Bob Winters, trophies; Jack Bailey, hall; Bill Smith, tickets; and Bill Tobin, publicity. ATH LETI CS E Iven Sleepy Joe was forced to sit up and take notice of the Butler athletic program during the 1946-47 school year. The venerable old fellow did more than that; he actually stood up and cheered for the Bulldog squads which carried the Blue and White colors in a banner year never before equaled at Butler. With Athletic Director Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle showing the way, and with a revised staff of assistants offering their aid, Fairview football and basketball teams again forged into the national spotlight, and baseball and track, weak during the war years, were ready to make their bids for Hoosier state championship honors. FAIRVIEW The athletic picture for the year 1946-47 began to shape up before the beginning of summer vacation as the Bulldogs became charter members of the Mid-American Conference of Urban Universities along with Cincinnati, Ohio University, Wayne, and Western Reserve. Sched- uled for full-scale athletic competition in major as well as minor sports, the Mid-American Conference got under way in an inauspicious cross country meet, and launched full-scale operation with basketball competition. In expectation of the heavier competition, Galvin (Johnnie) Walker was brought in from an assistant- coaching berth at Ohio State to become head cinder mentor in place of Ray Sears, who had left for Marion High School in June. Former Fairview star Bob Dietz was added to the staff as head tennis and assistant basket- ball coach, and in from Iowa came former Bulldog grid performer Jim Hauss to aid in football chores and to coach the Bulldog golf men. Chet McNerney, a graduate of Indiana University and a former assistant at Washing- ton High School in Indianapolis, was added to the grid staff, which already was bolstered by Wally Middles- worth and John Raybold. Still on, of course, was Hink ' s chief assistant, Herb Schwomeyer, who piloted the freshman hardwood team as well as assisting in football, baseball, and serving as Intramural director. Two other former Butler men, Phil Reisler and Jim Morris, were put on the growing staff. Reisler was signed to handle a varsity swimming squad. McNerney, Hinkle, Middlesuorth Schwomeyer, Rabold Front row: Stone, Bartel, Kirkpatrick. Cutter, Toye, unidentified. Back row: Newhy, Longwith, Johnson, Bernloehr, Compton, unidentified. ATHLETICS 1946-47 and Morris was assigned a training room in the basement of the Fieldhouse to administer to the aches and pains of all the athletes. In no time at all the enlarged staff began to pay off. Starting slowly, the football team relied heavily on luck in winning two of its first three games, and then im- proved greatly to finish the season with an unblemished Indiana College Conference record and its first state title since the 1939 season. With a 7-and-l football record to boast of, the sport- light fell on basketball, and the Bulldogs soon fashioned one of the most successful hardwood teams in years. Re- sembling the Fairview Flyers of old, the 1946-47 cagers used veterans Jerry Cranny and Captain Herod Toon as a nucleus and built the rest of the squad around freshmen. Their play was beautiful to watch, and Indianapolis sports fans apparently couldn ' t get enough of the Blue. The spacious athletic plant was filled three times during the season, and attendance was high at every game. Nosed out by DePauw in its bid for the I. C. C. net crown, the Butler quintet none the less earned a share of the first Mid-American title with Cincinnati. Baseball was set for a fourteen game season and Walker ' s trackmen, after brief indoor competition in the Illinois Tech and Purdue Relays, was ready for out- door meets with both Indiana and Mid-American squads. While varsity performers were drawing attention from the outside sports world, campus sports fans were again battling for honors in the Intramural leagues. Lambda Chi Alpha nosed out Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Nu in football action, but the Phi Delts captured the I-M hard- wood competition in a neck-and-neck race with three teams. In a postseason all-school tourney, however, Crew came through to capture honors. Sigma Chi won the I-M swimming tourney. Honors, too, came to Butler ' s athletes from outside sources. On the all-state grid eleven, first team honors went to Tackle Mel Perrone, Center Ott Hurrle, End Knute Dobkins, and Halfback Orville Williams. Full- back Francis Moriarty and Guard Wally Potter were named to the second team, and honorable mention went to Kenny Gieman, Bull Kuntz, and Norman (Gobby) Williams. In basketball, Charlie Maas was selected to the first team of the all-state five, and Jerry Cranny was named to the second team. Butler ' s other three starters, John Barrowcliff, Ralph (Buckshot) O ' Brien, and Herod Toon were given honorable mention.

FOOTBALL BUTLER 19, EASTERN ILLINOIS 12— A terrific first quarter.which saw Butler ' s Bulldogs score three rapid touchdowns, was enough to supply a winning margin for Coach Tony Hinkle ' s gridders in their opening test. Some 8,000 shirt-sleeved fans, in the Bowl, on September 28, were startled as the Bulldogs hit through the air in the opening minutes and then capitalized on a pass interception and blocked a pass to add two more tallies in the first period. The Bulldog offense bogged down in the final three quarters, but the Panthers ' two touch- downs in the third period were not enough to overcome the Butler margin. BUTLER 13, INDIANA STATE 7— A Frank Merri- weli finish in the final 25 seconds by Halfback Orville Williams taking a desperation pass from Jim McLinn, provided the thrill of a lifetime for 7,500 spectators on October 5, and gave the Bulldogs their second victory of the season. Outplayed and outfought all the way until the final seconds, Butler had scored its initial touchdown on a 40-yard run-back of freak pass interception by Center Ott Hurrle in the second period. The Bulldogs missed their first conversion attempt, and the Sycamore ' s were ahead until the game-winning play by virtue of a third period touchdown and conversion. WESTERN MICHIGAN 19, BUTLER 0— Thoughts of an undefeated season for the bulldogs ended on the snow and rain-swept gridiron at Kalamazoo, Michigan, on October 12. Hampered by fumbles and bad breaks, the Bulldogs could not get their offensive moving. Scor- ing in the first three quarters, the Broncos held Butler completely in check. The Bulldogs penetrated Western Michigan territory only once when Tackle Mel Perrone recovered a fumble on the Bronco 25 in the second period. BUTLER 41, DePAUW 6— Impotent offensively for more than two weeks, the Bulldogs exploded against DePauw ' s Tigers, in Greencastle, on October 19. Strik- ing through the air and smashing relentlessly along the ground, Butler scored in every period, and allowed the Tigers to tally only against reserves in the final quarter. A fractured arm, suffered by reserve Halfback Bill Ker- bock, cast the only shadow on the game, which was marked by the offensive performances of Francis Moriarty and Orville Williams. 1946-47 BUTLER 20, BALL STATE 6— A Homecoming crowd of 12,000 was on hand in the Bowl on October 26, and the Bulldogs rewarded their followers with a late display of power to avenge a l6-to-2 upset suffered at the hands of the Cardinals last season. Held to a 6-to-O lead for three quarters, the Bulldogs came to life in the final session as Jim McLinn connected on a pass to Bill Syl- vester for the second Butler score, and Williams circled left end for the final touchdown. After Orville ' s final score, McLinn added his only conversion. BUTLER 25, WABASH 7— A soggy turf in the Bowl on November 3, failed to halt the Bulldogs ' march to the Indiana College Conference championship as they knocked Wabash ' s Little Giants from the ranks of the undefeated, 25 to 7. In a brilliantly played game before more than 9,000, the Bulldogs scored three times through the air and once on the ground to advance within two games of the ICC title. BUTLER 31, ST. JOSEPH ' S 6— Coach Tony Hinkle ' s gridders continued their offensive march against a crip- pled St. Joe eleven, and annexed their sixth victory of the year on November 9 in the BowL Some 5,000 shiv- ering fans were on hand as Orville Williams streaked 81 yards in the first two minutes for Butler ' s first score, and then watched a convincing ground attack that netted four more touchdowns to only one for the Puma ' s. BUTLER 25, VALPARAISO 0— Butler ' s first Indiana College grid title in more than seven years came to Bulldogs on November 16 in the Fairview stadium, as the Bulldogs splashed over Valparaiso, 25 to 0. A crowd of 2,500 which braved a steady downpour to see the opening of the game dwindled to slightly more than a hundred fans by the time the game was over, but the day was all blue skies for the Blue and White. Fullback Moriarty carried the load for the Bulldogs as they scored in every period, and Williams scored two touchdowns to bring his total points for the season to 54. 1 m BASKETBALL 1946-47 WISCONSIN 60 - BUTLER 52— Five thousand first- nighters watched the freshman laden Bulldogs fall before a late Wisconsin scoring splurge on December 9. The Badgers, eventual Western Conference champions, had the advantage of three season encounters prior to the Butler tilt. Bob Cook, Wisconsin ' s left-handed basket artist, lead the scoring parade with 22 points. BUTLER 41 - PITTSBURGH 39— Four days after the opener, Pitt ' s whirling figure eight offense baffled Hink ' s hustlers in the initial stanza, but the Blue boys came back admirably in the second half to even their seasonal record. Freshmen Charlie Maas and Ralph (Buckshot) O ' Brien copped scoring honors with nine counters each. BUTLER 58 - CINCINNATI 53— Victory number one in the brand new Mid-American Conference came on December 19. Accurate-shooting Buckshot O ' Brien riHed in 10 markers in pacing Butler to a 27-to-22 half- time advantage, and then picked up five more in the final act to take pitching laurels. Bill Shepherd matched O ' Brien ' s first half firing by garnering 10 ducats in the last stanza. BUTLER 59 - CANTERBURY 54— A Saturday night gathering of 3,550 dropped in on the northside basket plant for a quick peek at lofty Jim Springer, the Bishops ' highly touted scoring ace. Mr. Springer obliged by tos- sing in 25 counters in a vain eff ort to stop the high-geared Butler machine. Capt. Herod Toon led Bulldog scorers with 21 points in the December 28 clash. NORTHWESTERN 44 - BUTLER 40— A Butler ten- dency to foul plus Wildcat accuracy at the charity stripe, added up to a Northwestern victory over in the Evanston goalers on New Year ' s Eve. Thus far Butler ' s only losses were to Big Nine aggregations. Big Jawn Barrowcliff and the ever-present O ' Brien paced the Bulldogs with O ' Brien ' s 11 totaling high. fi 1 1 First Roir, left to right: Fields, Loiigmeier, Wagle, Wood, O ' Brien, R.; Rosenstihl, Baiichert, Humbert.

BUTLER 52 - INDIANA 41— The Bulldogs, chock-full of holiday spirit and New Year ' s resolutions, waited but one day to test them on the battlefield and simply out- hurried the vaunted speed merchants from down Bloom- ington way. Playing alert defensive ball and shooting with deadly accuracy, Butler completely harnessed the merry mac marksmen throughout the game. Jerry Cranny, scoring ace turned floor man, and Shepherd turned in A-1 defensive performances. The Buck was once again the winning pitcher, this time with 15. BUTLER 77 - WESTERN RESERVE 60— Only an ardent ping pong enthusiast could walk away from the Fieldhouse without an aching cranium as both teams raced down the floor with amazing rapidity. The Fair- viewers, still in high gear as a result of the Indiana match, two nights previous, just ran ' til the Red Cats cried uncle. Herod Toon led the Butler attack with 23 markers, but he had to take second place to Reserve ' s Lefty Hank Lefkowitz, who kept all mouths agape with his looping one-handed shots. Lefkowitz counted 25 points. NOTRE DAME 86 - BUTLER 40— Any Butler man will tell you why the Ramblers were rated as one of the top teams in the country. They had it. The Hinklemen fought courageously but it would take an aggregation of supermen to top the smooth playing Irish on their own home grounds. Charlie Maas proved to be the only spark on a very dark night by amassing 18 points in South Bend on January 4. BUTLER 65-DEPAUW 61— Charlie Maas helped him- self to a big evening January 11 by tossing in 13 field goals and a solitary charity throw to pace his fellow com- petitors into the undisputed lead in the I. C. C. circuit. This was the first defeat of the year for the Tigers. BUTLER 56 - WESTERN RESERVE 53— It was much closer on the Red Cats home floor on January 15, but the Bulldogs grabbed the lead early and held it down to the wire. Butler now had three successive victories in Mid-American competition. BUTLER 55 - VALPARAISO 43— Five thousand five hundred followers watched the locals climb into the drivers seat of the I. C. C. on January 25. That heralded T formation may pay off on the gridiron, but as the Crusaders presented it on the basketball floor, it merely provided another work-a-day evening for the Hinklemen. Hank Berning of Valparaiso stole high scoring honors with 17 counters and Forever O ' Brien led the Bull- dogs with 14. BUTLER 54 - OHIO STATE 50— Overcoming a four point halftime deficit, Butler once again proved to be an insurmountable obstacle on the fieldhouse floor on January 27. Those toughies from Columbus just didn ' t concentrate on the hoop. BUTLER 79 - WAYNE 26— Quite a few Butler fans prognosticated correctly in selecting January 29, as just the right night to stay home. The 2,500 who braved the frigid winter air, watched the Butlerites romp over the Tartars with obvious ease. BUTLER 80 - OHIO U. 70— Hink ' s snipers garnered their first 80 point total of the year and they well nigh had to in order to stay ahead of the fast moving Bobcats. Charlie Ma as, who was pulling dangerously close to Jerry Cranny ' s one year scoring record, took scoring honors with 21 markers as the Blue opened a new month of play. NOTRE DAME 73 - BUTLER 60— It was the same old shillelagh and a record 12,000 fans watched the Irish ply it where it hurt most in the Fieldhouse on February 3. Led by Cranny and O ' Brien, Butler made a much better fight in its own backyard, but fell short of that bedazzling Irish offense. Franny Curran of Notre Dame headed the evening ' s scorers with 21 ducats. Weaver BUTLER 53 - WABASH 40— The Cavemen could afford little opposition for a team that was burning under a Notre Dame defeat. It was Butler all the way. Cranny continued to celebrate the return of that potent basket eye by tossing in 14 points in the game played at Crawfordsville on February 6. BUTLER 68 - VALPARAISO 44— The Bulldogs knew how to cross their T ' s and proved it for the second time at Valpo on February 12. Fireman Charlie Maas totaled 18 points for his contribution to the evening. Maas was now within skipping distance of Jerry Cranny ' s one year scoring mark of 217 points. BUTLER 63 - WABASH 49— All eyes were on Maas in the Fieldhouse on February 15. Shortly before the half, the limber-legged Eastsider slipped under the hoop and cripped that all-important right hander. This gave him an aggregate on 218 points and a Butler scoring record was broken. Charlie ' s teammates chipped in to win the ball game handily and only DePauw stood be- tween Butler and the I. C. C. throneroom. DEPAUW 49 - BUTLER 39— Five days later that was that. After a first half tie, a ret hot Tiger, ably abetted by a cigar box gym, threw a wrench into Butler ma- chinery and strode into the big chair at the top of the Indiana Conference. Maas was the only Bulldog to hit consistently. He had nine points. BUTLER 56 - PURDUE 49— Another record 12,500 students of the art of hoopla enjoyed Washington ' s Cranny O ' Neal birthday as the Bulldogs came from behind repeatedly to win going away in an overtime session. Chuckin ' Charlie Maas made a niche for himself in the hearts of Butler fans by calmly tossing in a 40-foot set shot to knot the count in the waning seconds of the regulation period. Those now-you-see-it-now-you-don ' t boys, Jim Doyle and Bob Evans, performed creditably against Purdue ' s razzle- dazzle attack. BUTLER 57 - WAYNE 49— They had a big basketball awakening up in Detroit on February 28 and Butler got sandwiched right in the middle. A rejuvenated Wayne quintet forced the Bulldogs to go all out to win in the fourth quarter. Shepherd Doyle OHIO U. 63 - BUTLER 53— Those Bobcats were ready, willing and extremely capable of handing the Bulldogs their first Mid-American loss of the season on March 3. CINCINNATI 61 - BUTLER 51— We ' ll settle for a tie. The Queen City boys, with March 5 as D-Day, wanted a share of that loop title and they were not to be denied. They jumped into an early lead and stayed in the saddle throughout the fray. Bob Evans led a slow Butler attack with nine counters. Charlie Maas finished the season with 260 points, placing himself in an inside lane in the race for Bob Dietz ' s all-time Butler scoring mark. Both O ' Brien and Cranny are close behind Maas in this race. TRACK 1946-47 Seated, First Row, left to right: Farmer, Gerrish, Humpke, Garriott, Jones, Johnson, Odle, Coach Walker.

Cline. 1947 brought, among other things, a revived student interest in Butler track events. And rightly so. Galvin Walker serving his first season as Fairview cinder boss, turned out an aggregation that would do justice to any university. Reporting aboard in September, 1946, Walker immedi- ately assumed the duties of outdoor mentor by sending the cross-country squad to the front 11 times. With Jim Cline and Earl Hoff doing most of the heavy work, they returned with a record of three wins, four reverses and one tie. The cross-country team also competed in the Little State, Big State, and Mid-American Conference tournaments. Almost as soon as the cross-country season was termi- nated, Walker sent out a call for track aspirants and be- gan the long tedious task of preparing his charges for the oncoming season. Bulldog fans (the ones rabid enough to journey to Lafayette or Chicago) got a preview of potential Butler cinder power early last spring when Walker sent a hand picked squad to the Illinois Tech and Purdue Relays at the close of the indoor season. Then on April 19, the boys in the scanty outfits in- augurated the new season as well as Mid-American Con- ference activities by trouncing a highly touted Cincinnati outfit 73 1-3 to 55 2-3. Courtney Gerrish, the state 880-Yard Run champ, found things just as he left them at the end of the previous season and showed his appreciation by breaking the tape in the 880, and 440 yard runs. And then anchoring the victorious mile relay team. Working hard to achieve perfection, the boys in blue, continued to improve their times with each successive meet. They proved themselves to be one of the best balanced teams in Butler track history as they romped over Anderson, Canterbury, and Ball State with obvious ease. Gerrish, Capt. Jack Rice, Howard Manifold, Wally Potter, Earl Hoff and Paul Garriot won repeatedly, with the rest of the team proving, in many cases to be the second and third best men on the field, giving the Butlerites grand slam finishes in numerous events. On May 4, Wayne university, one of the best aggrega- tions in the midwest stopped on the Fairview campus long enough to halt the Bulldog victory spien at four. Paced by Lorenzo Wright, who has been compared to the great Allan Tomich, the boys from the Motor City just got up and ran away from the Walkermen. Final score: 82 1-3 to 46 2-3. A good track team is one that can take a decisive drub- bing and come back better than ever. Butler had a good track team. With Howard Manifold ' s 23 feet, 2 and 3-4 inch broad jump, the best mark of the state collegiate season, taking premier honors, the Northsiders walloped Indiana State 87 to 51. High point of the season came on May 17 when the Butler boys rewarded Walker with a I. C. C. conference championship. Capt. Jack Rice, bowing out of state track competition won his third Little State Mile crown as the Fairviewers made hash out of a soggy track in piling up 70 1-3 points, far ahead of the 34 garnered by second place Ball State.

The season was ended May 24, with the first annual Mid-American conference extravaganza. Those mighty Tartars of Wayne once again proved insurmountable and the Bulldogs left Detroit as the second best team in the Conference. Proof of the fine balance of the local thinlyclad was clearly shown when the monograms were passed around. Eighteen men received letters and one was awarded a numeral. Fieldman, Wally Potter, who captained the 1946 foot- ball team, was presented the Andy Williams Memorial award.

Seated, left to right: Buergler, Toon, Compton, Bradford, Maas, Males, Blackburn, Baker, Coach Tony Hinkle brought his charges to a halt at the close of the 1947 baseball season with a record of nine victories and six defeats. A combination of veterans and newcomers formed the nucleus of last years diamond nine that scored double wins over Wabash and Fort Harrison and chalked up single triumphs over DePauw, Ball State, Canterbury and Ohio. Those Hoosier bulwarks of the Western Conference, Indiana and Purdue, proved to be immovable objects for the Bluesox, at least as far as baseball is concerned, in giving them double defeat doses. Ball State and Ohio each managed a single win over the Butlermen. Leftfielder Lothair Manifold led the batting parade with an average that stood over the .400 mark. A happy note may be sounded in the observation that of the regulars only Manifold and Norman Gobby Williams will not return next year. A pitching staff composed of portsiders Art Cook and Paul Bain and Righthanders Jack Bradford and John Males garnered the hurling assignments with Charlie Maas doing most of the heavy work behind the plate. Williams, Knute Dobkins, Jim Doyle, Dee Compton and Herod Toon covered the basepath area and Manifold, Walt Fields and Jim Rosenstihl patroled the outer pastures. Blackie Blackburn, Dee Baker and Lou Buhgler also came in for a considerable amount of heavy action in utility roles. Manifold keeps up the .400 average. Safe at first.

Making its first appearance as a major spring sport in more than four years, intercollegiate tennis returned to the Fieldhouse courts this season with Bob Dietz as its coach. With a nucleus of six dependable performers, Dietz wove a squad which suffered only two losses in six sched- uled matches, and then wound up the year with cred- itable showings in the State and Mid-American Confer- ence meets. Starting with a loss to Earlham, the Bulldogs came back to score victories over Indiana, Indiana State, Ball State and Wabash. Only a loss to highly ranked Cin- cinnati provided a further blemish to the season. How- ever, the schedule was completed satisfactorily. GOLF 1946-47 Jim Hauss, former Butler athlete induced from Iowa State College to join the athletic department in January, coached Butler ' s first links team since the season before the war. With two veterans and two newcomers as regular com- petitors, Hauss led the Blue and White golfers over the fairways to victories over Indiana, Indiana State, Ball State and Wabash. Improving remarkably as the weather conditions improved, Butler suffered defeats only at the hands of Earlham and Cincinnati. However, appearances in the State meet and the Mid-American conference ses- sions at the close of the season failed to produce any further victories. During the year, the linksmen shattered almost every Butler golf record that has been posted prior to this season. INTRAMURALS Sigma Nu fraternity ended the four-year reign of Phi Delta Theta as the over-all champion of the Fairview Intramural league this year. Scoring three first places, four seconds and one third, the Sigma Nus compiled a total of 42 points to win the All-Intramural trophy. The final standings were Sigma Nu 42, Phi Delta Theta 36, Crew 26, Sigma Chi 24, Lambda Chi Alpha 19, Butler Independent Association 6, Religion 5 2, Scrubs 51 2, Hallville Hustlers 5, Hornets 3, Y.M.C.A. 1, Yanks 1, American Legion 1, Wizbangers 1. With competition increased by the independent teams, the winners took first place in the fall tennis tourney, scored first honors in the ping pong tourney, and cap- tured their final blue ribbon in tennis, the closing event on the program. Lambda Chi Alpha won the football championship and Crew captured honors in the basketball competition. Phi Delta Theta took the playoff hardwood tourney for its first top position of the year. Swimming honors went to Sigma Chi, and the Lambda Chis took honors in the volleyball tourney. The Hallville Hustlers, one of the independent squads which cropped up during the year, took first honors in the golf match at Coffin. The Phi Delts retained their track champion- ship by leaving the field far behind in that annual high- light. Crew won its second first by coming out ahead in the Softball league. IN MEMORIAM On June 2, 1947, the campus was shocked to learn of the death of Mr. John W. Atherton, Secretary-Treasurer of the University, and one of our most dis- tinguished graduates. Mr. Atherton had been prominently associated with the progress of Butler for many years, as well as with activities in the city and state. His death was a distinct loss not only to the University but to the city of Indian- apolis which he had served as a member of the City Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals for twenty-three years, and also to the State of Indiana which he had served in the Indiana General Assembly as State Senator. Mr. Atherton became associated with the University in an official capacity in 1920 when he became financial secretary of the Uni versity. Shortly thereafter he was named to the Board of Directors. At this time Butler was a small college located in Irvington. Because of his vision and practical planning the present campus was acquired, and the tremendous amount of work was begun in order to effect the removal of Butler University in Irvington to the new campus in Fairview. Mr. Atherton, with loyalty and devotion to his Alma Mater, gave generously of his time and energy to bring this about, and in 1928 the Fairview campus was occupied. During the years that Mr. Atherton was associated with Butler, the material assets of the school have been increased greatly. He accomplished this feat through his unusual ability to interest people of means in giving generously to Butler so that there might be continual growth. Butler University has made possible a college education for hundreds of young people in this city and in this state. This opportunity would not have been possible if Mr. Atherton, with his foresight, had not envisioned the larger Butler. In spite of his busy days he was always a friend of Butler students. Hundreds of students who are now alumni recall him with affection and with high regard because of his genuine interest in them and their welfare, and for the many kindly and considerate things he enjoyed so much in doing. The present Butler stands as a monument to the life of John W. Atherton. The greater Butler that is to be will result from his wise accomplishment and his far-sighted planning. George A.

ORGANIZATIONS ' ITAL to the life of the college community are the Greek letter organizations and other groups which promote good scholarship and university ideals, maintain high social standards and foster school spirit. College life is enriched by a fraternity affiliation which is both satisfy- ing to the individual and valuable to the organi- zation. The Greeks have a word for it ... . they call it friendship. ALPHA CHI OMEGA Alpha Chi Omega was founded at DePauw University on October 15, 1885. Sixty-nine chapters have been established in the United States and Canada since its founding, and the total membership is more than 23,000. Alpha Chi chapter was installed on the Butler campus in 1925. The social season opened with a tea dance held after the Butler-Indiana State football game. After the Homecoming game Alpha Chis entertained alums at an open house. The pledges were introduced to the campus at an all school open house November 3. A Halloween dance was held the beginning of November and the traditional formal Christmas dance was the last big event before the holidays. In the spring the pledges entertained the active chapter with a spring formal. Alpha Chi captured the trophy for Homecoming decorations this year.

C. Sirosis on April 28, 1867. Miss Emily Helming, a member of the Butler faculty, was one of the founders of the campus chapter established August 27, 1897. Since its birth, Pi Beta Phi has grown to more than 90 active chapters and 42,000 members. Pi Beta Phi has been prominent in social and campus activities throughout the year. Twenty-four girls were introduced to the campus at an open house in October. Early in the fall the annual Barn Dance was held which was followed by the Christmas dance and party at the chapter house. Indiana Gamma played host for the annual State Day dance on April 19 at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Exchange dinners were held with the fraternities, the traditional pledge dance was held early in the spring, and the year ' s activities came to a close with the June dinner dance.

It was organized with a charter from the Virginia State Legislature and now has 81 chapters located throughout the United States and Canada. The Alpha Delta chapter was installed on the Irvington campus June 15, 1920. One of its charter members is Miss Esther Renfrew, a member of the Butler faculty and professor of Romance languages. Girls pledged during fall rush were honored at formal open house in October. Initiation services were held for seven girls later in the fall. Exchange dinners were held with fraternities on campus. In November the Indianapolis alumnae sponsored a party at the chapter house for Zeta pledges from Franklin College, Indiana and Butler Universities. The Lakeshore Country Club was the scene of the Christmas dance. During Homecoming a buifet supper was given in honor of the Indianapolis alumnae, and in December a bridge party was held for them at the chapter house.

A sister chapter is found on the campus of Ohio State University. Among the activities of the 1946-47 season were those annual events which have become Trianon traditions: open house in the sorority room in the basement of Jordan Hall, a progressive Christmas dinner and party and a mother-daughter dinner on Mother ' s Day. Other social highlights of the year included a chili supper, a Halloween party given by the Mothers ' Club, the National Convention held at the Hotel Lincoln in Indianapolis and a pledge-active party marking the initia- tion of eight new members in January. Trianon placed fifth in the Collegian Cheer Fund drive. School honoraries and organizations claimed a large number from the Trianon roll call. Those in Spurs included Marge Sellmeyer Coleman, Thora Feltis and Elsie Popplewell, the latter two serving as social chairman and corresponding secretary. Dorothy Reinacker was claimed by Chimes. Jeanne Malott, who was one of the recipients of the A. ' W. S. Scholarship Cup, also served as freshman editor of Manuscripts. Miss Swann was a member of the Butler Student Council. T girls were also active in many other campus organizations. Ruth Bowers was president; Miss Reinacker, vice-president and pledge captain; Miss Malott, recording secretary; Joan Durbin, corresponding secretary; and Miss Swann, treasurer. Mrs. Karl Means was adviser for the sorority and Miss Elna Hilliard served as faculty sponsor.

For one year during the war period, the organization was divided into two groups, the men ' s division and the women ' s division. In September a decision to unite into one organization resulted in a revision of the constitution and elec- tion of new officers for one year. The following were elected: Lewis Miller, president; Carol Jarrett, vice-president; Edyth Williams, secretary; and Ed O ' Nan, treasurer. Dr. and Mrs. Means remained sponsors of the group, later joined by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henzie who are now acting as co-sponsors. Martha Smith was appointed social chairman. Kenneth Ordel and Elsie McCormick were pledge co-chairmen. The Butler Independent Association participated in social and political ac- tivities on the campus including intramural sports, Drift beauty contest, cheer drive and others. Highlights of social activities were active-pledge mixes, a Mothers ' banquet, the traditional Christmas party, initiation banquet, annual spring outings and many informal gatherings. Weekly meetings were held in the social room, which is located off the north side of the cafeteria in the basement of Jordan Hall. Under the motto, Strength and Unity, B. I. A. members have endeavored to fulfill the association ' s purpose of perpetuating fellowship and promoting social, political and cultural interests. The B. I. A. pin is a blue shield with gold letters on it. Several members have been elected to class honoraries and activity societies.

Society, founded at the University of Mississippi in 1848, amalgamated with Delta Tau Delta in 1886. Beta Zeta chapter was chartered the following year, and the Delts acquired the first fraternity house on the Butler campus. Beta Zeta continued to play a leading role on the campus during the 1946-47 school year and captured the trophy in the 1946 Homecoming house decorations competition. Leading the Delts in campus activities was Bill Ransdell, who was elected president of the senior class and also of the Loyalty Legion. Bill is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, and he, Bill Wildman, Bob Wildman, and Les Dold are mem- bers of Blue Key. Delts wearing the Sphinx Club key are Winstan Sellick, Jim Cline, Jim Franklin, Harold Burr, Bill and Bob Wildman, Ransdell, and Dold. Walter Scott Christie, who won the election for treasurer of the sophomore class, is a Student Council representative, as is Bill Wildman. Highlighting the year ' s social events was the annual Delt house party, back on the agenda for the first time since 1942. Thirty couples made the trip to Spring Mill State Park Thanksgiving weekend for the affair. A fine pledge dance at the Columbia Club, November 2, along with the exchange dinners and pin serenades helped make the year a success socially. Officers were Bill Ransdell, president; Bill Wildman, vice-president; Jim Franklin, treasurer; Bob Myers, secretary; and Art Graham, corresponding secre- tary. Les Dold was elected vice-president for the remainder of the school year when Wildman vacated that position and became inactive in September. Mrs. Snowdell Irelan succeeded Mrs. Jessie Boyers as Beta Zeta house mother. Mrs. Snowdell Irelan Ransdell, Alsop, Curtis, Dold, John- son and Niman Simonton, Wildman, J.

Wilson LAMBDA CHI ALPHA The Alpha Alpha chapter or Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity was installed on the Butler campus December 17, 1915. The chapter began its thirty-second year with the largest pledge class in its history. With such a large class the fraternity has been a garden of personalities in which characters were moulded and tolerance and understanding grew. The social season began with the Pigskin Pantomime dance and was followed by a Monte Carlo dance, Pledge dance, Valentine ' s dance. White Rose dance, State dance and ended with the annual Spring formal. At Christmas a party was given for 20 underprivileged children. On the football team the fraternity boasted Captain Wally Potter, Perrone, LaVine, and Murphy. The chapter carried away the intramural football trophy and finished in the upper division in other intramural sports. Lambda Chi men held prominent positions in extracurricular activities. Some of the positions were presidencies of Blue Key, Y. M. C. A., Sigma Delta Chi and managing editor of the Collegian held by Brother lula. Brother Matthews was president of the junior class and Brother O ' Brien represented the fraternity on the Student Council. Ofificers serving during the year were Brothers lula and Matthews, presidents; Brothers LaVine and Disselberg, vice-presidents; Brothers Mathews and Doig, secretaries; and Brothers Smith and French, treasurers. The chapter wishes to express its sincere thanks to the housemother, Mrs. Mary Butler, for her help throughout the year.

Its aim was to bind more strongly the deep friendships and mutual interests that exist among men. Today the fraternity has 106 chapters and 165 alumni clubs. Phi Delta Theta became Butler ' s first fraternity in 1859- Through the years its guidance toward cultivation of friendship, acquirement of a high degree of mental culture and attainment of a high standard of morality have left treasures of memories in the hearts of those brothers who helped sail the good ship Phi. Brothers Elmer Hopkins, and Walter Manifold led the jolly crew success- fully over the sea of 1946. Both men took the presidency during the reconversion period when the chapter moved back to its Stone Castle. Housemother Mom Shaffer ' s smiling, understanding and appreciative personality always lingers with the members. Phi Delta Theta won the all-intramural trophy last year, and contributed many men to Butler ' s varsity teams. Brother Herod Hero Toon received the univer- sity ' s highest athletic honor, the Andy Williams award. He also captained the 1946-47 basketball team. The chapter wishes to express its appreciation and thanks to the older brothers — Hilton U. Brown, Glenn F. Findley, Larry Stewart, Robert Dietz, and George Schumacher — who have helped guide the chapter through the year. Mrs. Bessie Shaffer W. L.

The result of summer months of hard labor terminated in the house being painted, cleaned and re- conditioned. Rho chapter was faced this year with the return of many men who had attended Butler before the war, plus a large number of new pledges, so a chapter of one hundred men started the 1946 college year. One thing the Sigs are glad didn ' t change is that Mom Whit remained as housemother. Mrs. Hazel Whittenberger completed one year with Rho chapter last September. The Sigs started the new year on campus off with a bang with the election of Paul Robey to the position of president of the Interfraternity Council. Don Baker won the coveted position of treasurer of Blue Key and Marion Thompson headed the Sphinx organization. The junior class elected Brother Dean Wildman as prom chairman and Don Payne was business manager for the 1947 Drift. Utes was guided this year by Tom Bemis, and Jack Boston was publicity director. Freshman John Chestnut led the class of 1950. Another boost to the fame of Sigma Chi was the winning of the Collegian ' s Cheer Drive. Founded on the 28th of June, 1855, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, the Sigma Chi Fraternity installed the Butler chapter on April 10, 1865. In this its eighty-second year, Rho chapter was led by Paul Robey, president; Donald Baker, vice-president; Kenneth L. Newman, secretary; Donald Harkness, treasurer; Joseph Higgs, magister; and Donald Payne, steward.

The chapter now carries on the roils approximately 115 men. This great enrollment may precipitate the complete remodeling of the present house and the addition of a new wing. The chapter this year continued the practice of entertaining several under- privileged children at a Christmas party. Bob Hamilton assumed his prewar role of Santa Claus. A very successful pledge dance was given at Hillcrest Country Club, followed by an informal dance early in the spring and the formal June dance. Nick S. Smyrnis, editor-in-chief of the Collegian during the first semester, was elected as chapter commander upon the graduation of Alan Chab. Other officers for the year were Joe Galvin, lieutenant-commander; William Osborn, recorder; Leo Marshall, marshal; Kenneth Runyon, sentinel, and Richard Mehne, chaplain. The chapter was very much grieved over the death of their housemother, Mrs. Ora Wingfield, who had been with the chapter for approximately 13 years, but it is happy to welcome Mrs. Elsie Kierst to Butler. Sigma Nu brought home the bacon in the form of trophies for winning the bonfire competition and float decorations for the annual Homecoming celebration. Senior treasurer this year went to Jack Patterson, and Walter Dodd was presi- dent of the sophomore class. The chairmanship of the Freshman Rose dance was held by John Dove. Epsilon Mu chapter of Sigma Nu received its charter May 7, 1926, and is the youngest fraternity on the campus.
