• alpha psi omega It is with life as with a play ... it matters not how long the action is spun out, but how good the acting is. Membership in the Iota Psi Cast of Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatics frater- nity, is the reward for those who have attained a high standard of work in dramatics on the campus. Heading this year ' s cast were Ron Walton and Mary Ruth Stong with Miss Alice Jeanette Wintzer and Miss Orrel Little as faculty mem- bers. Entrance is gained in this honorary through a week ' s informal initiation during which all would-be neophytes of the cast perform various menial tasks for their superiors . A twenty-four hour impersonation of some fa- mous character is the final test. Formal initiation takes place at the joint Tri-Alpha - Alpha Psi Omega banquet held every spring. • tka ' To develop in ourselves and encourage in others excellence in responsible speech is the mark toward which we are striving. An honorary fraternity which requires two years of outstanding speech experience and a high scholastic record, TKA claims only three students on the campus who spoke their way into membership. These three members, along with the faculty members, put Keith Kinney, Cloyd Dye, and Bill Clarke through soap box speeches and artificial rainfall as the traditional step into the chapter. To stimulate better speaking in others, the three student members sponsored an intramural debate tournament which was open to the entire student body. A Homecoming Luncheon was held for former debaters and TKA members at which President Jack Bormuth, Vice-President Dick Weick, and Secretary Pat Thomas for- mally initiated Dr. Wayne Geisert into the fraternity. Also, the student members attended the Tau Kappa Alpha Regional Conference at Purdue and the National Conference at Denver.

• kappa inn epsilon The mysteries of the compass, protractor or slide rule are no problems for us. This youngest honorary fraternity on our campus is ambitiously striving to further inter- est in mathematics at Manchester College, to stud) ' the contributions of that science to civil- ization, and to develop and spread an apprecia- tion for the power and beauty of math. The rigors of writing an essay concerned with some aspect of mathematics didn ' t deter the new associate members who are: Joan Nord, Jim Slabaugh, Don Shafer, Lloyd Johnston, David Newhouser, Max Douglas, Roger Smith and Wade Hall. The} ' were initiated at a very impressive ceremony during the club ' s banquet in January. Officers Forst Dunnuck, John Mack, Keith Davis, and Wendell Plum directed the progress of these future contributors to the world of re- search. • inn pi ki gm a The acceleration of an object is in direct pro- portion to the force producing it. This simple principle of physics is an apt one to apply to any club . . . and especially to a physics club. Enthusiasm of the members for the subject and a capable cabinet composed of Tom Dillman, Bob Black, Keith Davis, and Dr. Morris are the forces which keep this club in a forward motion. Dr. R. H. Miller with his talk on The Ethics of a Scientist and Dr. H. R. Weimer ' s talk on How Physics and Chemistry Meet helped to consolidate the club member ' s ideas of a scien- tist ' s role in the scheme of things.
