PHI ALPHA DELT It has been said year-in and year-out that the only activity of the Paddys is beer drinking, This is a canard of the basest order - there is indisputable evidence that in addition, they munch pretzels while consuming said beer. Admittedly, the range of endeavor, beyond these strenuous activities, is somewhat limited, but they did manage to send a delegate to their national convention this year, just to prove to those worthies that they had not seccumbed to barbarian in- fluences. This emissary returned with the startling news that PAD was celebrating its golden anniversary year, and in a fitting nocturnal seance, call to celebrate, this momentous occasion, it was decided that it was time for the local chapter to really do something. Prostrated by this near brush with constructive activity, the members left it at that and returned to their beer and pretzels. Phi Alpha Delta Ofhcers: Front 'faux' j. Endi- cott, R. Joyce. Rear mir: C. Hofifhaus, L. Kirk- land, W. Parsons. PHI DELTA PHI Phi Delta Phi is the oldest legal fraternity at Yale. The local brotherhood meets at Mory's to reify things - such as the inroads made into the knotty pretzel business by the vertical integration of the powerful straight pretzel cartel. The discus- sions are occasionally accompanied by liquid refreshment and it is rumored that individual standing in the chapter is measured more by capacity than by his contribution to the discussions. These tireless topers have hundreds of secrets, but unfor- tunately or for that matter, fortunately, no one seems to be able to recall any of them, The sole tradition of the chapter is a rather moth-eaten, but highly revered old, stuffed owl, which was contributed in lieu of dues by a member of the class of '96 for was it '06?J. 65 fr Phi Delta Phi's Officers: D. Allen, D. Klinges, T. Caudle and J. Hicks.

CORBEY COURT Corbey Court is an informal organization of about 150 law students, who can satisfy their gastronomic values under the efficient administration of Max Hoefer. Today the little house on Wall Street is pretty overcrowded in the winter season, but in April and May the adjoining patio is opened up, and graduates- to-be eat under spring sunshine and gaily-colored umbrellas, discussing the com- ing Bar exams and the few girls they know who are old enough to vote. Corbey also holds occasional dances on football weekends, which emphasize staying power above all, the participants making up in volume what a three- piece orchestra lacks. Dances, and other sedentary activities effectively divert the members' attention from the unpleasant fact that the statute of limitations on the 1890 furnace has run . . . the whole building is likely to go up in a puff of smoke any day now. Corbey Officers: Fin! row: W, Barton, C. Fraser. Second faux' D. Allen, J. McGrath, R. Laven- der, D. Klinges. Max watching his charges, as they reify their gastronomic values.

XXX M LEGAL AID ASSOCIATIO because it is the only organization which, by hook or crook, manages to offer up real live people to be sacrificed on the alter of legal education. The better to carry out this scheme, the Association deployed it's forces, sending its operatives into every legal field. One large contingent spent the year romping around in their newly redecorated Municipal Legal Aid Bureau. Some of the older hands were so - 6 taken aback by all the new glitter and glamour - and by the fact that the age of Cooneyism had really passed - that they wandered about aimlessly and were mistaken for clients by JN n 1 L f' f The popularity of the Association's activities continued apace this year - largely L lf 1, iw N N .K Q some of the bright-eyed newcomers.

'Q v ld, A second group, operating under the euphonious alias of Public Defenders, divided their time between clandestine meetings to foster a crime wave in New Haven and mutual hate sessions when these plans went awry and they had no criminals to Cmisj advise. A specially trained cadre took over the difficult task of properly confusing persons from surrounding areas who had the affrontery to pester the Association with requests for memos. Brandeis briefs were promptly whipped up for all requests, the highlight of the season being a monumental memo on artificial insemination.
