EPSILON ALPHA ZETA Once every month a business luncheon is served by Epsilon Alpha Zeta, the honorary business fraternity, at which a prominent executive gives views on his field. The brothers of Epsilon Alpha Zeta want a better understanding of their future in the business world and, as always, an improvement of the academic standards of fellow business students in the university. One of the outstanding landmarks of the fraternity's past history was the establishment of the Dr. H. S. Shively'Scholarship awarded to a promising business student. A highlight in the groups activities is the annual Expec- tations Conference. EPSILON XI EPSILON XI SIGMA E. Orzech, A. Maruca, L. Taylor, B. McKenna.

Its name, which stands for Strength, Sisterhood, and Activity, also stresses high scholastic goals. The sorority meets each week to discuss and plan its many regular and special activities which include helping the needy on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, co-sponsor- ship with Lambda Phi Alpha of the annual Kampus Kick-off held at the start of each school year, and a gala costume dance held this year in February under the theme Shades of the Orient. This year one of the closed functions was a gourmet's delight. A banquet at which new officers were installed was held in June. The sisters are proud of the motto: Many Hearts, One Cause. Their colors are red, black, and silver, and the lily of the valley is their flower. l DELTA PHI ALPHA First Row: B. Devokaitis, E. Gelinas, S. Ebb, D. Grala, J. Kabai, B. Just, A. Seamon, M.
