SlUMA UPHl IOTA Music Pa-Yat-Ya-Mo, the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota was organized in 1927 as a music club. The name by which it was called was that of the Indian god of music. It became affiliated with the National Music Fraternity, Sigma Alpha Iota, in the early part of 1935. Membership in the fraternity is limited to those who have a major or a minor in music. The candidate must maintain a B average or better in music and shall have at least sophomore standing at the time of initiation. Activities for the past year included a fall tea which was given at the Alpha Delta Pi house for all university students of music; an open recital of music by contemporary American composers; and a candle-light vesper service program of Christmas music, given in December according to tradition. An album of records by contemporary American composers was presented to the music department by Sigma Alpha Iota, and the usual Gay Nineties ice cream social was held in April.
