With activities that increased friendships, members worked throughout the year with car washes, bake sales, and tamale sales in order to raise funds for a study trip to the city of Monterrey, Mex- ico. Another project that aided appreciation for the Spanish culture was preparation for two one-act plays at Texas Tech University's Comparative Literature Festival.

Pledges Fight Frustrotion With Fun Freshmen, transfers, and independents who wanted to become members of particular groups had eleven social clubs from which to choose. After visiting at open house, making their choices in chapel, being interviewed and accepted, they were ready for a week of frustrat- ing but fun times. -With hats, scarves, or beanies on head and demerit books or badges in hand, pledges stumbled into an unexpected world. Has- sled throughout the week of October 8-15, pledges were constantly called on by their pledge masters to perform ridiculous tasks. Gnawing on a tree, proposing a marriage offer, and leading an invisible pet around the old sub provided unusual entertainment for any visitors on the campus. All obedient pledges had to drape in some kind of strange clothing, whether it was sporting a shirt backwards, wearing a long dress with sneakers fboth guys and girlsh, or modeling several layers of mismatched garments. However, at the end of the week when Sub-T bricks were loosened from the belts, Theta Rho potatoes were tossed into the garbage, and Alpha Chi canes finally touched the ground, participants felt a kind of se1f-satis- faction after making it through the week and having close friends for the years to come. As any wood-gnawing animals would do, Tomo- Dachi Beavers Barry Hays and Duane Black attempt to chew through a tree. t...-t--' -1 ' uf' r ff Ax' 1 at!
