High pressure salesmcmship . THE GREEKS SELL THEMSELVES ALE CARNEGIE wouldn't have had a chance the hrst six weeks on the Hill. Little did the innocent suspect that the sudden interest and helpfulness on the part of the dignified upperclassmen was a cloak beneath which lurked the serpent of high pressure. pleasantly aglow, the young stood before unrelenting mirrors and searched in vain for the charm and personality that made their college elders ever desirous of their company. Many were the nights that midnight oil fitfully glowed upon secret meetings of the frats and sororities. Now this kid is just the kind we're looking for. Her father's just rolling in jack, and I ain't talking about hay. Ah, you just don't know the kid. I'm tellin' yuh he's got the OK. stuff. Every Monday night the echo of such declama- tions bounced from shadowed walls. Unnumbered drinks and cigarettes were dispensed. Smiles, hand shakes, inside dope on the profs, pleasant words were thrown about with seeming abandon. Invi- tations to dinners, breakfasts, etc. began to roll in. The fledgling's chest began to bulge- he didn't know what was in store for him! Garden parties, wiener roasts, barn dances, tacky parties, parties, midnight feeds, double dates-always with some newly acquired upper classman friend. just a Social Butterfly. No Beebe or Frazier could have led a merrier, or dizzier pace. The hour of reckoning was at hand-the final week of rushing. Thus far a very subtle campaign had been the program. There was now no longer time for palaver. Pressure took the fore: They're a bunch of rats. Look at our house. Of course, if you're not particular about your associates. You're too smooth to get tied up with that bunch of deadheadsf' I could tell you plenty about that group. -Talk, argument, holdouts, worry, persuasion, talk, indecision, headaches, one or two heartaches. Talk! Talk! Talk! Freshmen worried too: What ifl don't get a bid.

Lambda Chi Alpha . . . OLDEST ORGANIZATION ON HILL APPING a long period of steady expansion, the present chapter of what once was known as the Hawkins Literary Society passed a most successful season for its second year as the Kappa-Mu Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. After spending thirteen years as the Missouri Gamma chapter of Theta Kappa Nu, the local chapter took its present name when the two national groups merged in August, 1939. Organized as the Hawkins Literary Society by Madison C. Hawkins in October of 1867, the group reorganized as the local fraternity, Alpha Delta Theta, in 1915, and joined Theta Kappa Nu in 1936. Though still known as the Hawks,', the group is now one of 107 chapters in 39 states and Canada, a member HMM the flames Within my of the third largest social fraternity in the nation. Not only the oldest organization on the campus, it is the oldest chapter in the national Organization. The first event of Kappa Mu Zeta's social season was the annual Barn Dance, held this year at Stone's newly completed dairy barn. Usurping bovine rights for the evening, guests enjoyed traditional apples and cider refreshments and danced to the music of Junior Musolino and his orchestra. The fall social calendar also included Lambda Chi banquets at Homecoming, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The annual Christmas stag party was held at the house, December 19. Spring opened with Bud Kaiser playing for the Hawk informal. Hannibal and the Mark Twain Hotel were the scenes of the group's spring dinner-dance on May 2. Mothers of the chapter members were the guests of honor at the house May 11 for the annual Mother's Day luncheon. During the year Lambda Chi Alpha pledged tvvcflty-S6VC11 men. fireplace . . .
