' ost Ohioans stay up late, work hard — early morning 8 o ' clock classes are generally unwelcome. Since the aver- age college student uses up more physical energy than does the average business man, a good night ' s rest is the number-one boon to many col- legians. Typically, however, students let their studies ride until the night before a heavy day of classes, or even until just before exam-time. Getting up after a short night of rest is rugged, and the Great American Alarm Clock is duly glorified. Some even run their clocks in gangs, setting three or four to go off simultaneously, but the most effec- tive getting-up system is the Greek method of posting a wake sheet, then assigning a pledge to awaken the actives. Once up, the Ohioan hits a fast stride, gulps his breakfast, dashes to classes, has a fine morning, and is sleepy again about 1 o ' clock. Things perk up around afternoon coking time, reach high- gear by dinner, and taper off at sandwich-man time in the evening. We won ' t say when some university enrollees get to bed, although strict women ' s hours prevent late dating. Startled by his room-mate ' s over-loud alarr Morgan hurls his slipper at it.

A graduate thesis (filed in the Chubb library) on spare-time activities of OU students is concerned largely with the many dating pro- grams and ideas evolved by students. Chief ac- tivity, of course, is dancing, Ohio ' s favorite in- door sport. Since the demise of the Big Apple, campus dancing has become reasonably graceful, requires less energy. Although no novel dance has yet inherited Big Apple honors, some ob- servers feel that concern for a difficult world situation point to a sudden upturn in swing fana- ticism. On this and the following pages, you see repre- sentative campus dating activities and techni- ques. Athens ' two theaters do well from student trade.

Many came for the first time, others returned to a cam- pus that previous experience had made dear to them. All were excited about the beginning of another col- lege year. Enthusiastic freshmen explore their campus Exuberant freshmen are always eager to become better acquainted with their university. Five of this year ' s newcomers discuss the myriad of an- nouncements on the bulletin board near Ellis Hall. Greek pledges soon find that their rush-week fetes last but a short time. They are assigned to menial tasks about their respective chapter houses, such as scrubbing floors while active brothers supervise with symbolic paddles. 21 Students begin the registration ordeal by checking their schedules against closed classes, posted numer- ically in the main reading room of the Chubb library. Registration weel At the end of freshman week, soi ority rush parties fill the matriculating co-ed ' s time. Many of the af- fairs are formal. Most tedious task at registration time comes when the complex registration card is filled out. Many items have to be written nine times, for the several departments which file the information. Fraternity rushing has no time limitation as has sorority pledging. Pinned early in freshman week was Don Baldwin, here being congratulated by Sigma Pi president John Todd. 22 At the Registration Hop, which opened the social year immediately after freshman weeli.

Outside the University, Dr. James holds many honored offices. He is secre- tary of the National Association of University Presidents, national president of Pi Sigma Alpha, political science honorary, and a member of the Com- mittee on Cultural Relations with the Latin American countries, sponsored by the State Department in Washington. Dr. James is largely responsible for Ohio U ' s most vital asset, its unusually competent and qualified faculty. Maintaining the best available professors on the teaching staff is his cardinal aim. 25 AVMINiSTRATORS: These executives George C. Parks. Treasurer Frank B. Dillcv. Registrar B. T. Grover.

Still a pio- neer in higher education, Ohio maintains the progress it began in 1804 by keeping its faculty standards high, its methods of teaching modern. On this and the following pages, the Athena shows you most of the 200-odd men and women whose ideas and ideals have made this in- stitution a pacemaker in American education.

Hansen was the logical choice for its dean. A leader in progressive teacher-training on the Ohio campus, Hansen is well qualified for his new job. Not averse to working overtime, he is frequently in his office at 4:30 in the morning, often stays as late as 11:30 in the evening. (Above, at his McGuffey Hall desk, and with his secretary, Mildred Peters. ) Deans Hansen and Lange are men with progressive ideas Young, ag gressive Laurence W. Lange is this year a freshman on the campus, is just ending his second semester as Dean of Men. Lange al- ready has increased interest in inter-fraternity affairs, has supervised the organization of the freshman class, banned the proposed freshman hazing program, and has helped to build up the Men ' s Union House of Delegates. He is well pleased with Ohio, finds the people here much more friendly than in his native New York. (Be- low, at his Cutler Hall desk, and with his two sons, Bobby and Tommy.) 30 University College — freshman melting pot Founded five years ago by President James, the University College is a unique educational de- vice. The one year which all freshmen must spend under its guidance is coupled with the high school curriculum to form a single five-year academic unit, and to give the matriculating student a gen- eral cultural background before he branches out into his vocational field. (Above, assistants to the dean sort freshman grade cards. ) The University College assigns the freshman to one of 150 faculty counselors who advises him about his choice of subjects for study, refers him to persons who can discuss specific vocational problems with him, and in general is a friend to the student. This freshman college also enables the incoming student to browse around among several courses before definitely beginning his vocational studies. (Above, Dr. W. J. Smith counsels a new student. ) Irma Voigt has served 28 years as dean of women During her 28 years as dean of women, Irma E. Voigt has seen the women ' s en- rollment increase from 350 to 1,450. The previous majority of women students has gradually given way to a slight plurality of men. Dean Voigt executes the duties of her office in close cooperation with the Women ' s League. Together they aim to carry out a program of well-rounded so- cial life for women students as well as preparing the student academically for mature life. She has also taken a keen interest in all-campus government, and is probably more active and influential in student affairs than any other adminis- trator. 31 Faculty THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Dr. Walter S. Gamertsfelder is dean of both the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Grad- uate College. n contrast to the pro- fessional and vocational training which students enrolled in the other colleges receive, the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences offers a thorough li- beral education to students majoring in its courses. Its fields include the traditional founda- tions of a well-rounded education. This college also acts as a service organization for the rest of the university, and students pursuing vocational studies take their cultural and less technical sub- jects under its guidance. Special preparatory courses with emphasis upon the particular field desired are available to those interested in den- tistry, medicine, and nursing. By electing the courses required by the State of Ohio, a student may graduate with an A.B. or B.S. degree from this college and be qualified to teach. Phi Beta Kappa, most significant of honoraries, requires its candidates to have at least 75 per cent of their work in the College of Ails and Sciences. ntense specialization keeps graduate students busy W. ork on the graduate level is offered for those qualified for, and interested in, advanced study. The Graduate Col- lege confers the Master ' s degree in Arts, Science, Education, and Fine Arts. Most important phase of the work is a thesis written by the student on some partic- ular subject in his major field. (Right, Harold Car- lisle and Patricia Palmer, typical graduate students.) Sociology Between lectures, professors in the sociology department find time for some interesting hobbies. Department Head H. J. Jeddeloh likes camping.

R. Clippinger, J. R. Morton. F. B. Gullum, H. L. Dunlap. English Everyone takes some courses in the Eng- lish department — at least in their freshman years, when courses in composition are required. Students majoring in this field find the curriculum extremely rich and varied, with many courses in modern litera- ture to balance the classical courses. Members of the staff are, below, left. D.

To augment their lec- tures, professors in the department began publica- tion of ' The Periscope, a weekly news summary distributed to all their students.

Instead, division is made into fields of accounting, adver- tising, banking, business law, economics, finance, labor, management, marketing, public utilities, statistics, and taxation. The College of Commerce gives the student a cultural foundation by re- quiring him to take subjects in other colleges. Daddj ' of the College of Commerce is Dean A. H. Armbrusler. An important sub-division in the College of Com- merce is the department of secretarial studies, whose program of practical experien ce in the university service bureau and in the offices of faculty members gives its students a more thorough preparation than would the mere teaching of theory. By this arrange- ment, students also learn to operate ten different types of business machines, including calculators, adding, bookkeeping, and duphcating machines. Top row, left, D. E. Church, W. H. Fenzel, S. Gilmore, E. E. Ray, K. H. Krauskopf; right, J. Snook, D. W. Paden. Bottom row, students in the statistics lab- oratory. 3(i Journalism students practice on the Athens Messenger Q n e of the most progressive units in the uni- versity is the School of Journahsm. Requiring a broad cultural founda- tion of its students, the school de- mands extensive work in other col- leges as well as in its own courses. To top off the theories learned in the classroom, journalism majors do much work on the Athens Mes- senger, including reporting, writ- ing, and editing. Journalism students face the practical problems of digging up news stories, experience the day-by-day struggles of the copy desk to meet deadlines, the click-clack of the press wires, the rhythm of the linotypes, the reek of hot metal and printer ' s ink, the roar of the pressroom, and the jangle of business office machines. The director of the school, George Starr Lasher (above, left) , is also active in other journalistic endeavors, including the editing of a national fraternity magazine and the publicity re- leases of the National Interfraternity Council, of which he is vice-chairman. Members of the staff are unusually active in placing journalism gradu- ates, of whom a very high percentage are employed in their chosen fields. (Above, right, C. H. Harris and W. J. Smiley, JVIesse7iger editors who supervise student work) . Division of Physical Welfare builds muscles, coaches T i m i n g to promote the sound physical, men- tal, moral, and social development of its students, the Division of Physical Welfare offers training in sports, recreation, intramural ath- letics, and teacher training. Many majors in the field obtain coaching positions. Men not taking ROTC, and all women, are required to take two years of work under the direc- tion of this school. Top left picture, O. C.

The three-school college made its debut in 1935 at the suggestion of President James. Directors of the schools rotate as deans of the college, with Robert G. Dawes of the School of Drama- tic Art acting as dean this year. Students of this college must not only major in one of the schools, but must also minor in each of the other two schools. School of Music offers many activities to its students J rom its humble begin- ning in 1893 with two pianos and one instructor, the School of Music has grown into a complete depart- ment, with two buildings of its own and much mod- ern equipment. All applied and theoretical branches of music are taught, and frequent student recitals afford opportunity for public appearances. Partici- pation in one or more forms of ensemble (choral or instrumental) is a requirement of music majors. C. C. Robinson (left) is director of this school.

In this theatrical madhouse, scenery is built, publicity arranged, lighting set up, cos- tumes sewed, make-up applied, and would-be Thespians coached. R. G. Dawes, director of the School of Dramatic Art (above, left), and his associates annually present five full-evening plays, plus regular Fortnightly Playshop triads of one-act plays. In addition to the drama, the school is concerned with debate, oratory, oral interpretation, and other forensic activities, which are directed by L. C. Staats (above, right ) . Other members of the faculty are (above, center) F. G. Walsh, C. A. Rowan, M. H. Arbenz, F.

Today, with the greatly expanded educational plant, teach- er training has been placed under the direction Dean Thomas C. McCracken Staff members of the College of Education give much attention to their students ' attitudes and adap- tations toward the teaching profession. Require- ments along this line even include tests in oral Eng- lish, which the candidates must pass. Placing of graduates is given much attention, and the Bureau of one of the seven colleges. The College of Education emphasises the cultural importance of universal education, and includes sound pro- gressive and modern techniques in its curricu- lum. n addition to the ac- ademic work that students do in the College of Education, they acquire more practical training in their work by actual teaching experience. Each student observes classes in the field which he in- tends to teach, and is then assigned a class of his own to instruct as part of his preparation for a degree in education. This work is done in the Athens High School, the Plains Elementary and High Schools, and the Mechanicsburg Elemen- tary School. The college is not divided into de- partments, but uses instructors in practically every field in the university to teach the pedag- ogical methods peculiar to specific subjects. Gen- eral educational practices, administration, his- tory, philosophy, and other topics are taught by the faculty of the College of Education. of Appointments is especially active in obtaining teaching positions for them. Below, left. Dr. A. B. Sias, who supervises the practice teaching programs. Right, M. T. Hampel, C. DeLand, F. L. Shoemaker, D.

Dean William M. Young of the Col- lege of Applied Science was named coordinator. The Civil Aeronautics Authority, which sponsors the course, is not in any way connected with mil- itai ' y or naval agencies. Already proven very pop- ular, the course keeps many collegians in the air but requires advanced academic standing and sound physical condition of applicants. Like stu- dents in all departments of the university, a sci- ence major may take a degi ' ee in his field and receive a certificate to teach in Ohio by fulfilling the teaching requirements of the College of Edu- cation.

Home economics majors live in their own practice house he School of Home Economics strives to develop an appreciation and understanding of the activities of family life, and to equip women for the efficient and successful administration of a home. A home management house and a nursery give co-eds practical experience. All home economics ma- jors spend part of their time as residents of the home management house, where they serv e as cooks, assistant cooks, hostesses, waitresses, and handy men. The nursery in the practice house studies child development, cares for 15 children aged two to three. Below, left, Grace Steininger, director of the school. Right, first row, I. M. Patterson, F.

The division teaches the obligations of citi- zenship in that a citizen should be ready in case of need to defend his country against armed ag- gression. Young men in the ROTC are trained to render such defense effectively and efficiently. t , o - i Colonel Thomas F. McNeill, Commandant of Cadets O.

Campus Affairs Committee ilent and effective, CAC controls the A.L.E. purse-strings, regulates social campus life, is a powerful arbiter in all matters concerning student activities. The committee strolled, not leaped, to power. Previous to 1924, administrative control of campus life was remote, and student executives were often named by their predecessors. Shortly after the establishment of CAC, President E. B. Bryan an- nounced its jurisdiction as final decision in all matters of cam- pus relationship among students. Since then its influence has continually increased. The group is composed of the deans of men and women, four faculty members, the presidents of the Men ' s Union and Women ' s League, and three student mem- bers at large. Anthony Cavallaro, third student named at large, does not appear in the picture. 44 House of Delegates . lusty and growing child among student-guided powers is the House of Delegates, an all-mens agency to express and foster student opinion. Mem- bers are elected in an all-campus poll (limited to men), and serve for one year. This winter saw the reappearance of polit- ical parties on the campus when the House conducted its sec- ond annual election. The group chooses the men on the con- vocation and grill committees, one member of CAC, and the men ' s selections board. Aside from these appointments, its power is primarily to debate and make recommendations to executive authorities, such as CAC. But the House, as a sound- ing board for students and a spring board of activity, is show- ing welcome signs of dynamic progi-essivism. FIRST ROW: Eveielt Welch, Charles Heriell.

' reshman ' ' Jo C o 1 - leges were initiated into the swirl of campus life in September at a mixer and dance sponsored by Women ' s League. Early in the fall, the League renovated and refurnished the women ' s lounge in the Student Center building. At Christmas time, it joined with the Men ' s Union in decorat- ing the Student Center with holly and colored lights. An informal Christmas tea, sponsored for women students, attracted 500 guests in two hours. Be-vegetabled males wearing edible corsages in lieu of flowers accompanied triumphant dates to the League ' s annual Co-ed Prom, a between- semesters turnabout dance. In May, the League presents Mother ' s Week-end, when parents are feted, toasted, and entertained in collegiate style. The Women ' s League is a representative student government body, based upon the pattern of our national government, with an assembly, a senate, and a president. Women on the campus are rep- resented in the executive branches of the League by officers of their housing units. Men ' s Union fosters campus citizenship I, mong the many ac- tivities of the Men ' s Union are the freshman mix- ers and smokers, the Registration Hop, Dad ' s Day, Homecoming, the Men ' s Rodeo, and the Christmas convocation. The organization awards keys for achievements in cartoon, essay, ping- pong, bridge, chess, and other tournaments, plus an annual versatility cup to the man who has ac- cumulated the most points by participation in the various activities. In addition to providing recrea- tion facilities for men, the Union develops cam- pus interest and a sense of campus citizenship among students. The Union this year gave several magazine subscrip- tions and a radio to the men ' s ward of the univer- sity infirmary. It supports a short term loan fund avail- able for emergencies which may confront students. In the Student Center building live some 22 men, including Union officers, who earn their rooms by doing var- ious work on the campus. At right.

Or- ganized into various social, economic, and missionary committees, it carries on ex- tensive community service projects. The social service work committee made many articles for distribution among the poor of the surrounding mining towns. One group sewed dresses and wearing ap- parel, while another manufactured toys for the children. These girls also work per- sonally with the orphans of the Athens Children ' s Home, the under-privileged of near-by communities, shut-ins, and pa- tients in the Athens hospital and univer- sity infirmary. The most outstanding project of the or- ganization was the drive for Christmas benefits for the needy, partly financed by a campus sale of poinsettias. YWCA ' s Christmas gift to the students and faculty of the university was a musicale presented by Mrs. Helen Haddon Roach and Phillip L. Petersen, augmented by the Choregi- enacted play, The Long Christmas Din- ner. Each month, YWCA holds an educational meeting for its members, at which a group discussion, a lecture by some well-known speaker, or a musical program is pre- sented. YWCA issues The Gleam, its official pub- lication of news and gossip, and holds monthly parties in its McGuffey Hall club rooms. TOP: EstluM- Ilafnc-r. Y Vt. Prisidciil Ruth Ellen Lindsi ' y.

Torch picks its men for character, leadership, service. It ' s tapping cere- monies early in the fall and on Class Day are the most impres- sive of any such events at Ohio. The group sponsors the annual Torch Sing for fraternity, and other, glee clubs. S . ■ i enior women recognized for leadership, scholarship, and chai-acter are capped for Mortar Board on Awards Day. Cresset, local senior women ' s honorary, was organized in 1913 and functioned until three years ago, when it became Cresset chapter of Mortar Board.

Girls chosen for this organization go through a unique calling out ceremony. Active members of the group go to the neophytes ' homes late one evening in May, and call out the new members, who then go to the Hotel Berry in pajamas, curlers, and hairpins for the traditional midnight luncheon. The group performs many service functions for the campus, and annually gives a dinner for members of Mortar Board. J Club 0. _ n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1940, sixteen new members were inducted into J Club in the special ceremonies under the historic McGuffey Elms. Selections were announced during the between-halves festivities at the Homecoming football game. This year the group has reorganized to make itself of greater service to the university, and to develop a new program. The old members on the campus assisted in the reorganization, with Dean of Men Laurence W.

Unique in that it has never experienced a losing season on the gridiron, the team owes its remarkable success largely to the superb coaching staff headed by Don C. Peden. Since he came here as mentor in 1924, he has coached Bobcat teams to 102 victories, 41 loss- es, 9 ties. Opening with Youngstown College, the Bob- cats played straight football to win, 13-0. Then came a tie with Butler, followed by an impres- sive 21-7 victory over Western Michigan State Teachers. Furman brought her powerful South Carolina team to the Ohio stadium to suffer a 15-6 loss. At Wesleyan, the Pedenmen battled the Bishops to a scoreless tie. Then Miami was swamped, 27-0. First week-end in November, Ohio lost to Western Reserve.

Saturday morning saw all the fraternity houses elaborately decorated with Beat Furman and Welcome Alumni motifs.

That night, all Greek groups and other housing units held open houses, with the rest of Athens also wide open. I Year ' s most spirited weeii-end lumni swarmed into Athens to put accommodations at a premium, jam traf- fic, and have a wonderful time. Alma Mater was duly feted and toasted, and many a grad wished he were still in school. The hospitality and friendliness — long an Ohio tradition — which were shown Homecoming week-end is rarely matched. Everybody is everybody else ' s friend and there ' s nothing in the world like the Green and White.

Extremely proud of this organization, students insist that they have never seen its equal in the State of Ohio. Excellent musicianship and marching ability are required of all members of the group by Curtiss W. Janssen, its masterful conductor. Janssen has a neat sense of timing and showmanship that in- evitably pleases spectators and listeners. To plan his elaborate gridiron maneuvers, he uses a mod- el football field with 100 tin soldiers to represent the bandsmen. In addition to the campus concert in the spring, the band makes stage appearances in many nearby towns. Bandmaster Curtiss W. Janssen Ls Ohio ' s most competent showman.

Hundreds of Ohioans jammed the special train, many went by auto and bus, and some hitch-hiked. The demonstration of school spirit was the most intense of the past four years. A parade down Euclid Av- enue to the Hotel Statler, team headquarters in Cleveland, was fol- lowed by a band concert in the lob- by, pep rallies all over the city, and snake dances through stores and streets. After the game, Cleveland alumni sponsored a dance where students celebrated even though Reserve won. Only person having difficulty on the special train was this tuba player who couldn ' t get through the doors. To bolster the gridiron magic of Don Peden ' s celebrated Green Jinx, Ohioans carved this totem pole, carried it through downtown Cleve- land before the game.

Varsity O was organized in 1935 to bring together the men who have been awarded the athletic insignia of Ohio University. The group now has 60 active members, and two honorary memberships have been given since it organized, one to band leader Bob Crosby, the other to Johnny of Phillip Morris fame. Meeting once every three weeks, Varsity O promotes closer associa- tion of athletes on the various teams. It sponsors pep rallies before football games, and once each year presents an all-campus dance. The 1940 Varsity O Hop capped Ohio ' s annual Dad ' s Day program, and introduced Arlene Gamertsfelder, the new Varsity O queen. She suc- ceeds senior Bettie Bell, who had reigned for three years. 66 Delta Tau Delta, Dunkle vN on in intramural football )AMImK tmm ' in iM ' iiigl ffiitiliriii ' i-iiTi Action in the Beta-Delt game, one cf the hottest struggles of the intramural year. 7.

Di- vided into three leagues, fraternity, dormitory, and independent, the activity is open to all students except varsity gridmen. Delta Tau Delta ' s well-drilled team ploughed through stiff competition to win title honors in the fraternity league for the second consecutive year.

Newman Club Organized locally in 1939, the Newman Club, a branch of the National Catholic College Students ' Association, has become one of Ohio Uni- versity ' s largest organizations. Named for Cardinal Newman, one of Catholicism ' s foremost educators, the club attempts to carry out his principles of bringing religion into the every-day life of the college student. Frequently, at monthly meet- ings, guest speakers talk on current problems concerning Catholics or Catholicism. Serving as a social as well as a religious unit, the club plans a program of monthly social meetings, a skating party at the Rollercade, and a spring dance open to members and their guests. Each semester the club sponsors corporate Communion, and breakfasts at the Student Center. 70 Westminster Fellowship Among the busiest of all off-campus organizations is the Westminster Fellowship, the unit of the Presbyterian Church especially devoted to the religious and social welfare of the college student. Among the highlights of each week are the Fellowship Supper and Ves- per services. Book reviews, candlelight services, debate, and discus- sions of topics of the day make up just a part of the Fellowship ' s stu- dent program. The group is ably advised by genial Miss Margaret Flory. Phi Chi Delta Phi Chi Delta ' s Thanksgiving candlelight consecration service, aug- mented by music and poetry, was one of the most beautiful and inspir- ing services of the year. The group, whose purpose is to develop per- sonality and character in Presbyterian women, devotes much of its study to the position of college women in the church of tomorrow.

Delta Sigma Chi Outgrowth of Phi Tau Delta, national Methodist fraternity, Delta Sig- ma Chi brings Methodist men together for religious discussion and friendly fellowship. Campus speakers frequently lead meetings which are held regularly every two weeks. During the year. Delta Sigma Chi sponsored two retreats, in which all members, under an adult leader, spent the week-end at Cornell ' s Cabin, held bull sessions, ate breakfast outdoors. Another religious highlight was an Easter Service held on the eve of spring vacation. Sponsoring a number of social functions, the group held two roller skating parties, a Christmas Dance in the Student Union ballroom, and its annual spring formal. Kappa Beta With the establishment of the only cooperative house for women at Ohio University, Kappa chapter of Kappa Beta, national organization of the Disciples of Christ, put into practice a new and progressive idea for women ' s housing. For outstanding activity in 1940 the group received an honor plaque from the national organization. Intensive study of social and economic problems of Athens County, and acquisition of clothing for the needy were some of the group ' s projects. Bi-monthly religious and musical programs held at the county infirmary cheered stricken indigents. Kappa Beta played host to the semi-annual national convention in April, held pledging and initiation ceremonies, formal banquets and teas as part of the convention program. 72 Kappa Phi Every Methodist girl of today a leader in the church of tomorrow is the watchword of Kappa Phi, National Methodist Women ' s church sorority. Though Kappa Phi ' s purpose is essentially religious, an out- standing social function was the annual spring formal. Climax of a busy year was a Lenten Supper in the Upper Room, commemorating the Last Supper. The national organization this year celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, held a convention at Silvan Lake, South Da- kota, to which the local chapter sent several members. At Christmas, the organization chose two country schools, gave each a Christmas party, providing individual gifts for every child in addition to candy, nuts, and fruit. Most novel of Kappa Phi ' s enterprises was a slumber party. FIRST ROW: Brown, Man- tel-, Kiill, Houston, Haik- n« ' ss, Jasper, Manter. Rev- erend Shoemaker, Powell. SECOND ROW: Gossett, Veesey.

Wesley Foundation Sunday night Pop Inn ' s have become the outstanding feature of Wesley Foundation ' s program to fill the social and religious needs of a thousand Methodist students at Ohio University. A light supper, music, and entertainment have made the monthly events one of the most popular of Wesley Foundation activities. Governed by a Student Council of nineteen, Foundation members use the church library, parlors, reading room, and game rooms. Sunday School and vesper services complete the religious program. Wesley Players, dramatic group, presented four plays, imported speakers, experimented with make-up and play-writing. Gospel teams presented plays, discussions, and musical programs at Method- ist churches in Southeastern Ohio. Church groups sponsor varied social activities Few groups in Athens, even those dedicated by their very natures solely to social functions, are as socially conscious as the church groups in Athens. Since their sponsorship and membership comes largely from youth, it is natural that the groups use the church as the meeting place of religious and social activity. The presence on the campus of two nationally-endowed church foundations de- voted to the welfare of college students is an acknowledgement of the important role of youth and of Athens men and women interested in so- cial and religious education. A Wcslniinstcr Fellowship dance intermission is filled by an interesting floor show. 74 FIRST ROW: Hershel, Ly- man, Gottlieb, Rosner. Le- vine.

Hillel Extension Aiming to foster a closer relationship among Ohio University ' s Jewish students and good will among the various religious denominations, Hillel Foundation ' s membership this year swelled to 100 under the di- rection of Mr. H. Lyman, rabbinical student from Hebrew Union Col- lege. In memory of Marvin Elliott Goldhamer, a student executive of the organization, an annual award will be given to Ohio University ' s most outstanding junior in the field of Civil Engineering. One of the main projects of Hillel during 1940-41, its second year on the campus, was the Endowment Fund Drive with a $1,000 goal. On the social side was the unusual Penny dance, featuring large pa- per penny decorations, park plan dancing.

Keeping the band the most appreciated group on the campus sans football ' s glamor is the organization ' s cardinal principle. Not all work, the group offers a social program including several pic- nics, smokers, and holds the annual Band Dance, all-campus hop which presents the newly-elect ed band sponsor. Auburn-haired Mary Allen, Zeta Tau Alpha candidate, succeeded Jane Dressel, last year ' s sponsor. Phi Mu Alpha The manly musician and the musicianly man in America. Thus does Phi Mu Alpha, professional men ' s music fellowship, define its pur- pose. It furthers the cause of good music at Ohio University and pro- vides an outlet for musical interest and ability. This year members of the local chapter performed at the National Music Convention held in Cleveland. Phi Mu Alpha in cooperation with Sigma Alpha Iota presented Frank Stafford, baritone, as one of its outstanding contributions to the campus. Social activities included several smokers, and open houses at Mc- Guffey Hall, where it is whispered that the lads really swung out in some lively jam sessions. Sigma Alpha Iota Following established custom, dormitory residents were visited by Sigma Alpha lota ' s morning carolers shortly before the three-week Christmas recess. Sigma Alpha Iota has been an active force in advancing good music at Ohio University for 17 years. Stressing individual talent, the group requires prospective candidates to offer solo performances following recommendation by music professors. The active members also further solo performances in monthly programs designed to reveal versatility of members. High academic standing and approved ability in a special field of music are prerequisites for membership. 78 FIRST BOW: Bookwalter. Pace. C. W. Janssen. Evans. Lewis. SECOND ROW: Kilapp. Shackelford.

Highlighting the program is the formation of a big sister committee responsible for the orientation of Dorm newcomers. This year saw the inception of committee heads as a subsidiary body to the Lindly house council. In the social whirl, Lindly women are actively engaged. A St. Patrick ' s Day Jig, a matinee tea dance, numerous after hour coke parties, and an alumni party at Homecoming were a few of the social affairs during the year. Two seasonal formals, winter and spring, climax Lind- lys ' social program. FIRST ROW: Harrington, Snyder. Brown, Robertson, Miss Field, Davis, Hanley. SECOND ROW: Butler.

Her place was filled by Miss Margaret Wilson. Boyd Hall women, during the past year, were treated to new maple furniture and print drapes in the dining room, a redecorated lounge, and greater recreational facilities with the opening of another room. The introduction of the Upside Down Dinner wherein dormites reversed procedure on waiters and kitchen help, a Saddle Shoe dance, and the entertaining of 16 Athens children at Christmas din- ner were outstanding among Boyd ' s many activities during the year. 80 FIRST ROW: Ausperk, Hart.

Organized Housing Units Comprised of houses in which nine or more women are residing. Or- ganized Housing Units is advised by Mrs. Sara L. Jones, Director of Women ' s Housing, and Miss Virginia Finneyfrouch, Student Dean. In order to enlarge the social picture for unattached women the OHU held teas, scavenger hunts, and a formal dance. OHU also offers a scholarship cup, elects a council and officers. The organization is a parallel of the NHU. Neighborhood Housing Units As part of the policy adopted by the office of the Dean of Women to give every coed a voice in campus government and to broaden the women ' s social program, the Neighborhood Units were created. These units afford commuters and women in houses of eight or less an op- portunity to participate in women ' s elections and a planned social program. Each unit also exercises independent autonomy by election of house officials. 82 Men ' s Dormitory With Dana, Evans, Gordy, and Dunkle Halls comfortably housing 220 men, the Men ' s Dormitory is near completion of a six-unit quadrangle. The remaining two units, scheduled for early construction, will com- plete plans made three years ago when Dana and Evans Halls were opened. In addition to the numerous double-room accommodations, the dorm boasts of a spacious lounge, three dining halls, cafeteria and kitchens, and newly installed government post office boxes. Entirely managed by the house council, elected by popular vote of residents, the dorm offered an extensive social program that included four novelty dances, two record dances, four smokers, and two formal dances. D ecember ' s Winter formal saw dormites and dates dancing to Rex Koons amid teddy bears and toy trumpets.

Dr. Bixby, Warden of the Federal Re- formatory in Chillicothe, Dr. Mahan, an alumnus of Ohio University and an official of Ohio State Reformatory, Dr. Ward C. Halstead of Chicago, and Professor Gibbons of Ohio State University were among prominent speakers imported. Psi Chi was founded here in 1926 and is a charter member of the thirty-two-chapter national organization. Spring found the local chapter hosts to the annual Mid- Western Psy- chological Association for the first time. FIRST ROW: Donaldson. Pfleger. Rowland. Stevens, Moore. Bartchfield. Ellis.

Kappa Alpha Beta Native trees on the campus to add a touch of scenic beauty and to promote interest in Botany were planted last year by Kappa Alpha Beta, professional Botany organization. With an increase of member- ship from eight to twenty-eight, the club promotes educational inter- est and fellowship in the science of Botany and related subjects. Out- standing speakers who addressed the club during the past year in- cluded Dudley Gilmore, district forest ranger; Dr. Walp, of Marietta College; Professors Matheny and Copeland, and Chemistry Instructor Eblin. The club visited North Hill Caves, Camp Zaleski, and climaxed activities with a wiener roast. Zoology Club Applied anatomy in the form of animal crackers and cokes at the autumn party, kodachrome pictures of plant and animal life, and prominent speakers highlighted the unusually diverse program of Zo- ology Club this year. Zoology Club, an organization primarily for students interested in animal life, meets twice monthly. At a Christmas party movies were shown stressing the techniques of shark fishing, cure and prevention of diphtheria, and culture of oysters. Dr. E. Herndon Hudson, Director of University Health Service, spoke on tropical diseases of the Euphrates Valley. In the Spring, Lee S.

The purpose of the fraternity is threefold: to honor those students who have distinguished themselves in their engineering classes; to acquaint the members with the professional engineers of the surrounding territory and their problems; and to introduce the stu- dents to other branches of learning. O. U. Engineers Four years ago an idea was born in the minds of several enterprising engineers. The Ohio University Engineers Club grew out of the idea; an organization devoted to the purpose of gaining social recognition for the long-forgotten engineer, the man without a date. Proceeds from the Engineers ' Ball, outstanding activity of the group, are applied to the Engineers Loan Fund and reached a peak last year when Larry Clinton drew over 600 couples to the Men ' s Gym. Largely responsible for the success of the dance was a whirlwind publicity campaign which ran the gamut of ideas from photo-electric cells to parachutes dropped from airplanes. 92 Honoraries Philosophy Club To apprehend truth is ever the goal of the philosopher; and from Gal- ileo to Einstein the search has started because of a healthy doubt. The doubt is born in the intellectually curious student ' s mind, and is guided during growth in the philosophy classroom. Not only to know, but to know why. With this maxim on its postal cards, the Philosophy Club calls its members to meetings seven Fri- days a year where the doubt is directed, given form, and emerges as an approach to truth. Even the philosophers know that their search never ends. Helpers in the quest this year have been guest speakers Rev. Fred E. Luchs, Professors W. J. Smith, F. H. Krecker, Oliver Martin.

To supplement academic presentation of chemistry, and to bring latest developments in the field to its members is the aim of the Ohio University Chemistry Club, founded in 1910. By lecture, motion picture, and field trip the purpose of the club is realized. To in- terpret the methods and aims of chemistry as a science the club had Dr. Oliver Martin of the philosophy department as a lecturer on the Meaning of Science. Student Affiliate Group of The American Chemical Society Largest of professional chemists ' groups is the American Chemical Society. Last year members of the Ohio University Chemistry Club who are majors in chemistry decided to take advantage of the special dues rates granted to undergraduates by the society, tied up with the professional group, and became the Ohio University chapter of Stu- dent Affiliates of the A. C. S. Members receive the News Edition of the society ' s journals, through which they are informed of latest developments in chemical industry, and receive employment aid. 94 University Tfjeater Three Men on a Horse I piciest, juiciest, best- liked of the plays this year was Three Men on a Horse. Marked by apt directing, excellent characterizations in every part, and by clever. mottle-walled sets, the play became a laugh-fest for two nights, and the background for many a bull session later. It was a high tempo farce in which the prompter could amuse himself at black-jack, so flawless was the line reading. The tale of Erwin was a sad one. A maker of Mother ' s day rhymes and the like, Erwin had a pleasant home, a good wife, a regular job, and — here the plot — a hobby. To kill time on the bus he picked the horses in the races of the day. Convinced that he was vo- cationally unhappy, the gentle Erwin hied himself to a liquor dispensary, and there, under the effect of same, revealed to racetrack gamblers that his guess games were almost infalUble. Anxious to protect their gold mine, the gamblers took him to their rooms in the hotel. In a mental state of flux between the offer by the gamblers of a percentage of their winnings and the gnawing memory of 50 unwritten verses, he wrote the verses, but the hangover that is attendant to such a set-to as that in which he had participated kept him from the office. After a series of difficulties that could come only to a man named ErwLn, running from a gambler ' s moll to worry over his lawfully wedded, Erwin at last lost his powers of racetrack wizardry and returned to higher pay, a happier home, and the same wife. 95 University Theater Reh earsQ In empty Ewing Auditorium, home of the University Theater, Dramatic Arts Instructsr Frederick Thon watches a rehearsal. To really ' see a play come backstage, X5 y tradition and poetic license the hair-tearing, metal springboard clique, the 1941 heirs of Ben Jonson ' s well-trod stage create by personality and zip almost as much drama off the stage as on. Especially colorful as individuals and as a group are the instructors in the school of dramatic arts, whose modern laboratory stag? in Ewing Hall offers study and experimental oppor- tunities in the most modern theatrical tschniques. To really see a play, one must come backstage, hear a play ' s first reading, watch tedious rehearsal sessions, and note in the make-up room the pencil- ling of eyebrows and the abundant cold-creaming of characters. He must watch skilled craftsmen sketch and pound, sweat and swear, to produce new set- tings. To be caught up in this bubbling, turbulent, ener- getic whirlpool of lights, props, scene shifts, and mimicked personalities is to really enjoy a stage production. Charles A. K( wan directs rehearsal action at the footlights. 96 t Atop a stage ladder. Instructor Frederick Walsh works on rigging. Rowan and R. G. Dawes, director of the School of Dramatic Arts, discuss a new play on the littered rehearsal stage. 97 University Tfjeater Monte Christo Marvin Rhode as the Count of Monte Christo in one of the play ' s melodramatic duel scenes. n niversity Theater ' s version of this old harkback to the Dumas ' classic offered student playgoers an amusing evening of lively mell erdramer, some clever staging, and beautiful costuming. The Theater usually presents four major plays each season, this year did five. Choregi When Athens stepped into national limelight last year with the Uni- versity Theatre ' s presentation of the world premiere of famed writer John Erskine ' s play, Henry Disarms. Choregi, honorary dramatics society, played an active role as a service group. Again this year with the presentation of a second Erskine world pre- miere, Choregi was an integral part of festivities. Christmas and Moth- ers ' Week-end are occasions for a display of Choregi talent in the light- ing, staging, and dramatization of plays and pageants. 98 ll|y JUJ -lll. ..■ ' -- FIRST ROW: Riley, Myers, Prof. Staats.

As the first of the Miami triad Beta was founded in 1839, only two years before Beta Kappa. High point of Beta activity and achievement each year for the last six years has been the glee club ' s capture of the Torch Sing. Two years ago the group took the state sing title and last year placed second. A new social plan inaugurated this year featured a novelty party each month. Among the events held were a Record Dance, a Hallowe ' en Mas- querade Dance, and a Valentine Dance, each hinging on some novelty plan. Climax was the Initiation Dance in March. Rex Koons played for the Beta winter formal which defied old wives tales and was held on Fridav, the 13th. 115 VBLTA TAU VBLTA Scholarship, 1 I I mm 3 ' elta Tau Delta came through as usual with one of the nation ' s best bands when John Kirby ' s orchestra, small but hot, entertained Delts and guests at their winter formal. Maxine Sullivan supplied the vocals, eight men produced the jive, while dancers stomped for more. Doing a mean South Sea island dance, the drizzle- drenched Deltmen won the Homecoming float prize with their The Purple Hurricane. Sarong- clad Ann Beasley was paid Hawaiian homage as queen of a motor-driven paradise. Huge placards announced ' We don ' t need a Lamour to play the ' Hurricane. ' Outstanding in scholar- ship, the Delts have maintained high aver- ages again this year. The Ohio U Delt chapter stands at the top of the national ' s scholarship list. Delts stress debate, music in extra-curricu- lar activity. First Row: Stephen Fuller Karl Schmidt Robert Perkins Harry J.

Baron succeeded Disaster, Phi Delt pup who passed away in the fall. Disaster was buried with full honors beside the chapter house. Dating back to 1868, Phi Delt Theta, in its Castle on the Hocking, has created many fraternity traditions. A new one begun last year, followed this year, was a Hillbilly Dance with corn-cob pipes, patched trousers, pig-tails, barn dancing, and gingerale-filled Jugs serving as costume and entertainment. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Top feature of the year was the winter formal dinner dance where na- tionally famous Paul Pendarvis supplied the rhythms. 119 PHI BPSILON PI t s a n i ce 1 « Is m ' i ■ 1 hi Epsilon Pi ' s new home on Mor- ris Avenue, completely refurnished, became also this year a four-year home for a German ref- ugee adopted by the chapter. Recognizing an outstanding campus Jewish girl each year, the Phi Eps record her name on a plaque. Actives are recognized by pledges at a banquet where gifts to suit the personality are presented. Highlight of the Phi Ep social season was the win- ter formal, presented this year in an effective Hallowe ' en setting. The annual alumni-hoioring Homecoming dance and the spring formal dinner dance climaxed the social program. The trek to the Morris Avenue house is a long one, so resourceful actives bought a station wagon to entice reticent pledge timber. Frequent dinner guests at the Phi Ep house were faculty mem- bers and coeds.

This year local Phi Kappas migrated to Columbus for a complete program of dancing, banquet, and other entertainment. Phi Kappa was founded 51 years ago at Brown and was established at Ohio U in 1929. Colors of the fraternity are purple, white and gold, and its flower is the aphilia rose. October ' s pledge dance pleased 40 couples who danced amid a Hallowe ' en atmosphere of witches, cornstalks, and pumpkins, received orange and black programs bearing the Phi Kappa crest. Other social events included the winter and spring formals. New furniture and a repainted upstairs are among Phi Kappa house improve- ments. 123 PHI KAPPA TAU Montmarte M. ontmartre was trans- ported to the Phi Kappa Tau house the night of the Apache dance, novel social event of the year. Candles cast wierd shadows and plaster walls were properly cracked to create an atmosphere of the Apache dens. Unique in that it was founded at Miami Univer- sity as an anti-fraternity organization, Phi Kappa Tau later adoped Greek letters. Beta at Ohio U was founded in 1910. Phi Tau ' s Homecoming float, featuring two poles on which linesmen were wiring More Power to Peden won second place in the competition.

Pi K A also dressed up its house this year with a new paint job, dormitory and study furniture, wall paper, and a new piano. Socially, Pi K A actives got a taste of pledge mis- ery at a Turnabout dance when the pledges de- creed short pants for actives and boards at judic- ious intervals. High spot of the year was the an- nual Founder ' s Day din- ner dance held at the Berry in March at which old grads and outstand- ing Pi K A men were guests. Twenty-six actives and 27 pledges formed the chapter role before spring initiation. 127 SIGMA PI laiming to lead all Ohio U. groups in number and quality of social func- tions, Sigma Pi outdid itself in its most elabor- 1 ate affair of the season, the annual Carnival Dance. Clarence Olden ' s orchestra, 250 kinds of confetti, noisemakers galore, put gay semi-formally clad dancers in an 18 karat carnival spirit. Small cot- ton balls bounced off dancers ' heads while rev- elers wore hats-to-suit-the-personality. A light artillery effect was achieved with exploding bal- loons. To encourage higher scholarship the chapter an- nually awards $10 to every member making a 2. and $25 to every three-pointer. Members played big brother to 50 underprivi- leged children by sending them to the Zeta Tau Alpha-sponsored operetta, Bumble-Bee Prince. Other high-points of the year were the winter and spring formals, open houses, and house dances.

Two of the cowpunchers were appointed publica- tion heads last spring, another edited a new hu- mor magazine, and one more is Men ' s Union president. Not all of Theta Chi ' s success for the year was in activity. The week-end party became traditional when members and guests took time out for three days of dancing and frolic. Local sweethearts were feted and fed at a banquet in their honor. Tea dances and the an- nual formals rounded out the social calendar. Theta Chis continued their annual practice of serenading Ma Col- lins, for 17 years cook for the OX-men.

Long Island University ' s rangy team bumped the Bobcats in the final game, 56-42. Final season figures showed 18 victories against four losses. The Bobcat machine started the year off with four straight wins including a hectic victory over St. Xavier, 69-57. The team dropped two games during the Christ- mas recess to Evansville (Ind.) College, 58-57, and one to Western Kentucky State Teachers, 57-41. Ohio defeated Marietta. Miami. Dayton, and Ohio Wesleyan in succession to bring the mid-season totals to eight wins, three losses. Cincinnati proved to be the only state bugaboo when they handed the Bobcats their third but final defeat, 51-42. The Bobcats avenged the Queen City loss by lac- ing the Cincinnati Bearcats, 57-42, at Athens. When Toledo University invaded Athens, the Bobcats displayed some of their finest basketball to top the Rockets, 48-45. A 1940 defeat was avenged by a decisive 59-47 win over Washington and Jefferson. The season finale smothered Dayton, 72-47, for the tenth straight home victory. 136 The ball bounces free and both Duquesne and Ohio men chase after it in the IMadison Square Garden Tourney. Photo.) (Associated Press hree years ago a team of inexperienced sophomores lined up against Marietta College in the opening game of the 1937- 38 season. With a 62-34 victory in that game, the Big Six began a career that has carried them to a ranking position in national basketball cir- cles. In 67 contests as a team they have won 49 and lost 18, accumulated better than a 59 point- per-game average, and lost only four home games. To Frank Baumholtz, Harry McSherry, Vernon Deinzer, James Snyder, Charles Blickensderfer, and Carl Ott, have gone athletic honors of every kind, but one that is as cherished as any came from their coach and friend, genial William Dutch Trautwein, who took over the coaching reins the same year the six started, and to whom the team attributes much of its success: We will remember these men not only as a bas- ketball team that has met ' em all, but as gentle- men, students, and fighters.

Birth of the Coed Prom four years ago started one of Ohio U ' s most popular tra- ditions. Men get revenge, women get sat- isfaction, both get fun and plenty of it as women act as escorts. This year ' s Prom was a topnotch success with everything from wine bottles to pep- permints cluttering up lapels and trying to look like corsages. Rex Koons furnished music, the gals furnished the cabbage, and the men acted accordingly. ABOVE RIGHT. Marv Elizabeth Lasher bu.vs cigars for Bill Mechem BELOW RIGHT.

This year the group outdid itself for its winter formal, where Jimmy Littler and his orchestra played in front of a rich black backdrop on the ends of which were massive red pillars. Silver and red bells and a flamboyant Merry Christmas across the back- drop completed the color scheme. Other social events of Zeta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta were the spring formal, pledge dance, Hallowe ' en party, and boyfriends ' dinner in the early spring. In the line of welfare work, the Alpha Gams sponsor a summer camp for under-privileged children. Their newest pride and joy is the elec- trically lighted sign on the front of the house. 145 ALPHA XI DELTA Phi Bete to l of Alpha Xi Delta won the coveted first prize for the most distinc- tive Homecoming float with their lavish Ohio Stars Again. They also captured second place for the best decorated booth at the W. A. A. Carnival. Their very successful social season included a Bowery Brawl, with guests in costume, freshman pledge dance, winter formal, and duo-dance with Pi Beta Phi. In June, the Alpha Xis top their social program with the annual Rose Dance. The chapter was founded here in 1911. Their members this year held an unusually high num- ber of significant campus honors, including the presidency of the Women ' s League, presidency of the Women ' s Glee Club, presidency of Phoenix, v i c e-presi- dency of the freshman class, and seer eta ry- treasurership of YWCA.

Rated as the most progressive chapter of the na- tional organization, it leads the Delta province in scholarship and achievement, and was awarded two trophies at the province convention in Cin- cinnati. Ingenuity and beauty are characteristic of Zeta social events. The Cigarette Hop, with its novel cigarette men and women, large replicas of cig- arette packages, and matching programs, was modern, sleek, and sophisticated. In another vein, the January Winter Wonderland formal turned to chill beauty, decorating the Berry ballroom with wintry landscapes, puffy snow-men, and cool-blue lights. In cooperation with Jun- ior Programs, a national juvenile theatrical or- ganization, the Z e t a s presented the opera, The Bumblebee Prince, in Memorial Auditorium as its out- standing campus project for the year.

J fter serving two years as a local club, Tower this fall will be installed as a chapter of a national sorority. CAC has granted permission, plans are made, and affili- ates-to-be are already celebrating in anticipation of this great occasion. Blest with beginner ' s luck, Tower in its first year piled up most points in the sorority intramural league, this year took first prize in the W.A.A. carnival. Unique social highlight of the season was Tower ' s Greenwich Village dance, presented by the pledges. Hawaiian palm trees and simulated moonlight made attractive decorations for the winter formal. Other events were the senior fare- well banquet and the spring formal. Inaugu- rating a new custom. Tower girls held joint pledge-active meetings every two weeks. De- bates, forums, and mus- ic hours provided cul- ture, entertainment, fun. 158 ■ Triir 1 ,t- JSim 159 The Civil War monument, seen through the gateway 160 Athena ' s montage shows portions of Bob Chester ' s 15-man band and jitterbug contest winners Lucille Marra and Ernest Mariami. who stopped the show at the Engineers ' Ball Engineers ' Ball l (y en lovely Betty Bradley said clap hands and sing at the Engineers ' Ball while fronting for leader Bob Chester the 800 or so patrons followed through, for the well-formed young lady was dynamite just like the band.

Ohio Us Athena, always rated as among the nation ' s best books by the National Scholastic Press Association, is begun in May of each year, keeps its edi- tor and business manager working full time during the summer. During the school year the long grind requires over a hundred students ' attention. Shutter- bugs and artists, layout men, writers and general stooges have been working steadi- ly to publish a book representative of this year at Ohio. This is it.

Meet- ing twice a month under the guidance of Dr. Grace Steininger, the organization fosters greater interest in home economics. This year members have concentrated on modernizing rooms in the Agriculture Building with special emphasis on the home economics library. The local chapter participates in the national program by contributing ma- terial to pamphlets published to aid and educate consumers. Other activities include catering to teas, receptions, and dinners for campus organizations. Dance Club Dance Club highlighted its season with the presentation of a concert at Zanesville before the American Association of University Women. Completing its second year in the organization, the men ' s division was active in lending brawn to the group ' s dancing efforts. The com- bined clubs presented a widely acclaimed recital during Mother ' s Week-end. Dance Club sponsored the professional team ' ■Dancer ' s En Route, in April. Members gather every Tuesday night to woo Terpsichore by practicing new routines and dance themes. 166 Delta Phi Delta Ohio U ' s Iota chapter of Delta Phi Delta, installed in 1922, promotes art appreciation on the campus. This year the group did an elaborate mural for Howard Hall, was visited by one of its national officers, and had an exchange exhibit with Ohio State University. Delta Phi Delta presented a very satisfactory spring exhibit in the gallery of Chubb library, featuring work by members. The organization was especially active during Fine Arts Week in May.

Women ' s Athletic Association WAA welcomed students and visitors on Homecoming with its annual Carnival at the Men ' s Gym, which was transformed into nursery-rhyme land for the occasion. Members sponsor Outing Club and Flying O in addition to play days and parties. At the annual Christmas Banquet numerals and Flying O awards were made. Sec- ond semester members attended Play Day at the University of Cin- cinnati and won all but two events. Late in the spring the group was host to 200 Athens County high school girls for a day devoted to vol- leyball, folk dancing, basketball, and other recreational group games. Field hncke.v is one of (he most popular of co-ed sporls. 168 Women ' s sports addicts stay out of doors as much as possible in the spring and earlv fall. Women ' s Sports With a diversified program that includes more than twenty types of sports, the Women ' s Physical Welfare Department strives to interest every woman in the university in at least one activity. Ranging from badminton to field hockey, the department teaches sportsmanship and competitive keenness. The entire system of women ' s sports is furthered through the develop- ment of various organizations each of which is designed to promote one specific type of sport. Dolphin Club, Outing Club, Reserve Swim- ming Club and others serve to knit the program into a compact, in- teresting department. 169 Co-eds enjoy a full program of athletics Physical education majors played hostess to over 200 high school stu- dents this Spring in the annual High School Demonstration Day. Sport techniques were exhibited throughout the day and festivities hit high with a splash party in the Women ' s Gym pool. Women ' s Athletic Association established a new precedent in entertainment with a gala Homecoming Night carnival in the Men ' s Gym. WAA Cabin, with it ' s newly installed fireplace, served as an excel- lent place for picnics planned by the various women ' s groups. Out- ing Club, throughout the year, held many such picnics featuring steak roasts, fish fries, and discussion hours. Flying O and Varsity O awards are given to women who com- plete a minimum number of hours in the field of sports. The Varsity 0, highest of the awards, is granted upon the basis of scholarship, leadership, and ability. 170 Dolphin Club members dive into the Women ' s Gym pool at the start of a race. Dolphin Club At their annual spring water show Dolphin Club members simulated Billy Rose ' s Aquacade by wearing phosphorescent caps under blue lights while swimming in intricate formations. The club entertained the Muskingum swimming team here this winter and then traveled to Cincinnati for participation in the WAA Play Day. Hoping to establish a yearly tradition, the Reserve Dolphin Club challenged the senior organization to a meet in the spring. Membership to Dolphin is on the basis of ability as a swimmer and experience in life saving techniques. FIRST ROW: Fohl. Wells. Oppenheim. Constance Brown. Church. Parge. Belden. Gallichio.

Scabbard and Blade Scabbard and Blade, national honorary society for advanced corps men who are undergraduate ROTC cadet officers, was formed in 1939. It aims to better the relations of the officers in the corps and to co- ordinate the activities in universities throughout the United States. The Ohio University chapter of Scabbard and Blade is a member of the 8th Regiment, Company A of the national organization and this year registered students eligible for selective service. In the early fall members sponsored a smoker to welcome Dean Law- rence W. Lange, a member of the group at New York U. Frequent open houses and a spring formal completed the year ' s social activities. Pershing Rifles Organized nationally by General John J. Pershing in 1895, Pershing Rifles, a group devoted to advanced study of military science, was established at Ohio U. in 1937. In February of this year Ohio U. ' s chapter played host to the Regimental Assembly of the Fifth Corps Area. All schools of this area which offer military training sent dele- gates to the assembly held at the Hotel Berry. Composed of ROTC men of outstanding leadership and ability, the group regularly competes in the annual drill meet, held this year at the University of Cincinnati. 172 O. U. Rifle Club A battered target sheet with the bullseye shot through again and ag:iin reflects practice and more practice on the part of men on th? busi- ness end of the rifle. To achieve wins over Ohio State and Alabama Ohio U. s Rifle Club spent many long hours on the range. An interest in target shooting is the primary requisite for membei ' ship. The group is a member of the National Rifle Association and is coached by Sergeant C. M. Davis. The club will begin its third year next fall. FIRST ROW: Boros. Whit- comb. Dorothy Arnold, Thompson.

This group of women journalism students is selected by specific requirements of a B average in journalistic subjects and no less than a C in other studies. Because of the concerted effort to become affiliated with the national group, Sigma Rho has neglected outsids activities. Last year, working with Sigma Delta Chi, men ' s profes- sional journah sm group, Sigma Rho organized a caricature studio at the Press Cotillion Dance. FIRST ROW: MererfKh, Witzberger.

Eta Sigma Phi The writings of Homer, Horace, Virgil, Tacitus, Plato, and others which live yet in literature are the particular interest of members of Eta Sigma Phi, national classical honorary. Among speakers heard at monthly meetings was Professor J. P. Heidler. In the spring Eta Sigma Phi held its annual banquet while the group also sent a delegate to the national convention in St. Louis. Eta Sigma Phi encourages the study of Latin in the high schools by offering prizes to the best students. Adviser for the group is Dr. Vic- tor D. Hill. Beta Psi Exceptional dexterity in the juggling of figures is the forte of mem- bers of Beta Psi, honorary accounting society. In order to become a member, a student must have completed nine hours of accounting with a B average and must be enrolled for at least three additional hours. This year the group traveled to Chilhcothe to inspect the Meade Pulp and Paper Company where members discussed accounting problems with the company ' s comptroller. In March Beta Psi sponsored a closed dance in the Student Uni on ballroom. The annual open forum on ac- counting was held in May. 175 The renowned Don Cossacks chorus.

Baseball, 1940 Closing the 1940 baseball season with a rec ord of 11 wins and nine losses, the Bobcat baseball team proved to be both powerful and mediocre. Piling up as high as 21 runs in a single game, the Bobcats also found themselves losing games by 2-1 and 1-0 scores. The team engaged in an eight-game Spring training tour through Tennessee and the Carolinas, coming back to Athens with a .500 mark for the trip. Regular season victories included a freak 15-3 win over Ohio State in which the Bobcats scored 12 runs in the first inning and a terrific 21-2 win over Wesleyan. In four games the Bobcats scored more runs than hits. 197 Kiihner takes off for the broad jump; Miller clears a high one. Mekedis at the start of the mile relay: Wiley finishing the mile. Track In both the 1940 and 1941 seasons, Coach Bill Herbert ' s tr ackmen have been romping over state collegiate competition. Piling up totals as high as 123 points in both dual and triangular meets, the Green and White runners have definitely established themselves as one of the top aggregations in the Midwest. The past season has brought victories in three dual meets and one triangular meet. Balance is the keynote to the success of the squad. Outstanding men for the past two seasons have been Ed Kasputis in the weight events, ten-second man Si Johnson, vaulter Howard Duff, and distance ace Tom Barrett. 198 Tennis Hampered by Spring floods that made practice impossible, and riddled by graduation, the 1940 tennis team ex- perienced the first losing season in six years of competition. With two lettermen and three untried sopho- mores, the squad lost five and won two; three of the defeats were sus- tained during a five day t our of powerful Michigan college teams. Swedenborg.

This year they were guides for 2,500 high school students who visited Ohio U to take scholarship exams, furnished leaders for local boy scout troops, and collected material for an orientation bulletin to be circulated among freshmen. During registration week, they surveyed all men students to find that 643 are former scouts. Next year the group plans nationalization as a chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national scout service fraternity. FIRST ROW: Roberts, Schwendeman, Due, Allen, Hamilton. Campbell. SEC- OND ROW: Crawford.
