Miami has changed and we have changed with it. Pearl Harbor, the altered tempo as male students were called to the services, and the arrival of large military units to take up their station here completed 'the transition from the old Miami to the Miami at war. Miami in wartime is a Miami closer to reality. Many of the superficialities we believed in have been discarded. No longer does our life center about the latest records, the Saturday night var- sities, the newest of the styles. Our snug, comfortable playground detached from actuality has vanished. Our outlook has left the narrow limits of Oxford behind, and we have identified ourselves with our friends and classmates who have gone to remote sections of the world. Slant Walk cmd new Miamians. Freshmen girls meet and mix. A spot for meeting as well as eating. Here it is impossible to forget the war. Our daily civilian world touches and mingles with the world of the military. We are constantly reminded by the roar of the V-5 training planes, the hup-2-3-4 of the naval marching cadences, and the roll of the drums as the sailors swing past in review. These representatives of our armed forces have come to us from civilian life. A short while ago many of them were attending school, others were intent upon their careers. All have postponed their plans, given up those little liberties and licenses we still enioy today. Now a part of a great Navy, they are subject to military discipline and find them- selves here to learn those skills which will make them more valuable to their country. For some of them the comparative inactivity of the academic world may seem unrelated to the war, but the government, with a long range plan, has seen the necessity of edu- cated personnel for an efficient and integ- rated military organization. We in civilian life also have felt a restlessness, a desire to participate actively in the war. But education has been our choice. The ma- terials of war and death-guns, ammunition, planes, and tanks-are being weighed in the balance against the instruments of education and understanding which will forge our out- Civilian classes are becoming a woman's world.

The changed outlook has resulted in a changed manner of life, keyed to the new tempo. With the new military courses came an accelerated program of education for civilians-elimination of many courses social and academic life to fit these limitations, making the best of the bene- fits and privileges offered to them. Our wartime Miami is a changed place in- deed. Although we wistfully recall the Miami of the past, that Miami is gone forever. Now we await another change, another Miami, to meet what the future demands. Our presidenT is Well known ThroughouT The counTry os on educoTor, os o speoker, ond os o mon of IeTTers.

K. Morris Not only has our University's president returned to serve the school of his undergraduate days, but also our vice- president, Mr. A. K. Morris. Mr. Morris is one of the first persons known to incoming freshmen because he serves as chairman of the Admissions Committee. Through him the prospective student is introduced to Miami by catalogues and pictures. In addition to the foregoing duties, he is also Chairman of Freshmen Advisors, a guide to all new students, and adept at solving student problems. AIIDIINISTIIATIIIN To Mr. Arthur F. Conrad, who serves as supplementary head of the Department of Grounds and Equipment, goes the credit for Miami's outstanding reputation of having one of the most beautiful campuses in the Midwest. With the war came many headaches for Mr. Walter M. Everhart, Superintendent of Maintenance. However, he handles these problems efficiently and successfully in spite of curtailments on materials and labor shortages. Miss Elizabeth Hamilton, with that charming quality which endears her to everyone, acts as Dean of Women for the University, as faculty head of Bishop Hall, and as assist- ant professor of English. Miss Martha Jaques, the competent University auditor, checks the books of all student organizations. The treas- urers of these organizations turn to her for financial advice, and she willingly helps them untwist knotty problems. Mr. Gilson Wright, head of the University News Bureau and advisor to the student publications is also professor of iournalism, Through him stories of events at Miami are published throughout the country. Mr. Charles T, Jenkins, formerly N.Y.A. coordinator, sees to it that all those students who need financial aid are given opportunities for working. He is also Secretary of the University and Advisor to freshman men living outside of dormitories. Miss Mary Schlenck, capable head of the University Board- ing Department, has, in spite of wartime difficulties, managed the food situation admirably. lt is her iob also to see that linens are supplied and that dormitory rooms are maintained in their proper condition. Mr. William C. Smyser has charge of keeping the records of all students, in his capacity of University Registrar. lt is in his office where complete records of grades are kept and where all classes are scheduled. Mr. Arthur F. Conrad Mr. Walter M. Everhart Dean Elizabeth Hamilton Miss Martha Jaques Mr. Gilson Wright Mr. Charles T. Jenkins Miss Mary Schlenck Mr. William C. Smyser DEANS In addition to his duties as Dean ot the School of Liberal Arts, Dean Alderman acts as the Armed Service Repre- sentative tor the University. The Dean completed graduate study at Harvard, has a Ph.D. degree, and is a member of Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Mu Alpha, and the Modern Language Association. Dean Gloss arrived at Miami the same year the School ot Business became ci separate school ot the University. Since that time he has made it his aim to be personally acquainted with the Business students and to keep the school abreast of the rapidly changing world. Dean Glos is a member ot Phi Eta Sigma, Beta Alpha Psi, Delta Sigma Pi, and Omicron Delta Kappa. Dean Ashbaugh, as the head ot the School of Education, has contributed much to Miami's reputation tor turning out a high caliber of teachers. Because he is an authority in the field of progressive education, Dean Ashbaugh tries to incorporate foresight in the training ot his students who are to be the teachers of American Youth. Miami is proud to have at the head of the School of Fine Arts, Dean Clokey, a noted composer and arranger of organ and choral music. Since his arrival at Miami in i939, Dean Clokey has clone much to stimulate musical inter- est on the campus through numerous choral and orchestral concerts. He is a member of Phi Mu Alpha, American Guild ot Organists, and is a national patron ot Delta Omicron. W. E. Alderman R. E. Glos E. J. Ashbaugh J. W.

Under the command of Comdr. J. F. W. Gray, it is ranked as the number one Class A Radio School in the United States. The I6-week course consists of Code, Naval Procedure, Radio Theory, Typing, and Physical Training. Upon com- pletion of this course, provided they fulfill government re- quirements, the men receive the rating of Radioman Third Class. They must be able to send and receive a minimum of 22 words a minute in International Morse Code. Navy discipline necessitates a rigid schedule. Reveille is at 6 a.m., breakfast at 7, classes from 8 to 5 with an hour out for lunch, make-up classes from 6:30 to 8:30 and taps CII Inspection is held Saturday morning after which the men have leave until I2 p.m. Leave is also granted from 8 a.m. until IO p.m. on Sunday. At the present time there are 800 men in the Radio School and IOO in Cooks and Bakers School. Organized recreation in the form of the Wednesday night motion pictures, monthly Navy Happy Hours, and twice monthly visits of traveling U.5.0. groups from New York is provided. McGuffey meets Navy. The Welfare Department, headed by I.t. ligl Charles C. Hartung, offers varsity football, intramural basketball, volleyball, softball, and several musical groups, some of which have broadcast coast-to-coast over WLW, performed in Cincinnati's Ivlusic Hall, sung before the Governor of Ohio, and have entertained the British minister to the United States.

AVES Ill ES Welcome addition to the Miami University campus this year were the Waves and lady Marines. The Waves bowed in on April 15 last year and were followed on May 13 by the Marines. Oxford welcomed them with a drum and bugle corps which marched with them to their new quar- ters. Military and well-poised, the girls have been invited to various campus affairs and the students try to make them feel a part of the University. These energetic young women are studying code and radio theory in order to become radio operators. Many of them receive their ratings when they graduate, and go to various Naval stations where they release men for sea duty. East and West Halls have now become home to these service women. West Hall was not taken over by the Navy until the academic year was finished, although the fresh- men women had to vacate East Hall earlier in the spring. The coeds hoped the service women would enjoy these dorms as much as they had, and from all indications they must. East Hall basement was completely redecorated into a recreation room complete with dance floor, coke ma- chines, and games. One of The miliTary uniTs represenTed on The campus is The War Training Service, The program of flighT Training ThaT has recenTly replaced The old Civilian PiloT Training. The uniT here, comprised of one hundred V-5's, is headed by LT. John E. Sullivan, commanding officer, and LT. ligl J. Leslie 1-larT, physical Training direcTor. The uniT is auarTered in David Swing Hall, and makes use of The faciliTies of The Universify Airfield in iTs Training. The airfield was recenTly repaired and enlarged To ac- commodafe This service group. ImprovemenTs included grading and leveling of The area, and consTrucTion of a new hangar and concreTe runway. The field was dedicaTed July 17, 1943, wiTh Governor John Bricker officiaTing aT The Governor's Day ceremonies. Previous To compleTion of The field, cadefs were TransporTed via sTaTion-wagon To l-lamilfon and lvliddleTown for use of The air fields There. The War Training Service has been aT Miami since Sep- Tember of 1942. The basic course here lasTs abouT Two monThs, affer which The cadeTs are graduafed To advanced flying insTrucTion elsewhere. Upon compleTion of The en- Tire course, They are commissioned as Ensigns in The Naval Air Corps, WT Ready for The Take off. Lt. E. R. Hillman Miomi is privileged to hove on her compus cz V-I2 unit of the United Stdtes Novy. This unit is composed of men selected for their out- stonding chorocter ond high intelligence rot- ing. They ore given intensive bosic trdining for becoming supply officers, deck officers, ond doctors. Upon successful completion of pre- scribed courses the Novy men ore sent for further speciolized troining to selected schools. Ogden, Elliott, Stoddord, ond Swing l-ldlls ore the homes of the soilors while the Morines hold forth ot New lvlen's Dormitory. The pres- ence of the uniformed men odds interest ond pleosing color to the holls ond pdths of Mi- omi, ond brings to our peoceful, sheltered compus o much needed reoilizotion of the vvdr in which our porticipotion hos been so meoger. Commonder J. F. VV. Groy is reoilly the cop- toin of oll Novel units on compus, including V-T2 soilors ond lvlorines, V-5 Novol Air Co- dets, ond Wdves, lvlorines, ond soilors of the Lt. llgl J. A. Greenlee Major J. M. Robb PRCIGR radio code school. In direct charge of the V-T2 unit, hovv- ever, has been Lt. E. R. Hillman, the executive officer. Of- ficer-in-charge of the Marine detachment at New lvlen's Dormitory is Captain Cnow lvlaiorl J. lvl. Robb, veteran of Guadalcanal action, Lt. rigl J. A. Greenlee is acting supply officer for V-TQ. The schedule vvhich the V-l2's follovv is necessarily rigid and exacting. The purpose of the V-12 is to develop suc- cessfully in the men individual potentialities for competent service as Naval officers and to develop the responsibility of upholding the honor and traditions of the United States Navy. The length of time these boys remain here varies with their previous training and educational qualifications. Since the opening of the unit here July l, l943, about three hundred have completed the requirements, and many have been sent on to Midshipman School. The three month midshipman training then culminates in the commissioning of these men as Ensigns in the United States Naval Reserve. Navy chiefs and executive officer Marine sergeonts.

Homecoming royalty, Janet Laub and Wayne Clapp. Senior class members were the last group of students to see Miami as a normal campus untouched by the war. As freshmen and first semester sophomores the class of T944 was a group of easy going, young, American college stu- dents. Topics of conversation were Who will be king of the Sophomore Hop? , What name band is being con- tracted for the Senior Ball? , How are the preparations for the Homecoming carnival? Then in a drop of a few bombs, these students realized they had a part to play, not only in our world at Miami, but in an upset world disturbed by the treachery of war. With the United States entering the war a definite transi- tion was brought about in the carefree, light conversation. Draft boards, bomb sites, and anti-aircraft artillery were the new topics. Wake, Midway, Marshall Islands were the new focal points of interest. The seniors realized that if they were going to have the privilege of living in a demo- cratic country, they had an obligation to fulfill. Through ODK which directs Homecoming week-end, and Mortar Board which encourages scholarship and sponsors a series of vocational conferences for women, the seniors served the campus.

As a result, the Stu- dent Faculty Council will take charge of assemblies, help in the selection of artist series programs, and maintain an inter-dorm council.

The Y was composed of V-I2 Naval and Marine units on campus, a Freshmen Council, and an Upperclass Council to coordinate civilian and military affairs. Dr. A. C. Wickenden, with his office and adioining meeting rooms located in the Phi Delta Theta House, acted as director. As has been the Miami custom the Y furnished big brothers to incoming freshmen who were contacted before arriving on campus and given a head start on college life. The Men's Mixer and the Mixed Mixer gave way this year to open houses held in the girl's dorms. Yearly activities included work on the Miami Chest Drive in coniunction with the YWCA, Friday and Saturday night open houses at the Phi Delt House and North Hall recreation room. Weekly discussions lead by popular university professors were held each Wednesday. The Campus Mission, planned and executed iointly by the YMCA and YWCA, was under the guidance of Betty Street and Don Allen. It brought widely known religious leaders to campus for a five day session, which all students were urged to attend. A World Day of Prayer sponsored on the Miami Campus by the YM-YW afforded all students an opportunity to participate in a day of worlol-wide hope for peace.

From the moment the new students enter Oxford for Freshman Week until classes begin, the YWCA assists them in every way. YWCA headquarters in Hepburn Hall is a center of activity all year. Free telephone service, the Y store, crowded magazine racks, a circulating library, and other facilities of the Y are offered to all, whether or not they are members of the organization. This year the YWCA cabinet under the able leadership of Ann Frazier, president, has carried on admirably without the advisorship of an adult secretary. For several weeks Jane Bourne, former Y president, aided the girls. Dean Emerson was always present for consultation, but the burden of the work was felt by the student leaders.

The Association of Miami Independents, first organized on the Miami campus in l939, gives each and every independ- ent student tair representation in campus attairs. Providing strong backing to its members in social and political func- tions, it has enabled the non-fraternity or non-sorority stu- dent to meet organized groups on an equal basis. Many of its members have achieved positions at distintion and responsibility on Miami campus. The symbols of the group are representative of the spirit which guides and motivates them, Clasped hands stand tor the friendship in AMI, the torch for the leadership which AMI seeks to develop in its members, the circle signifies the unity of the organization, and the Indian, Mi- ami symbol, relates AMI to the school, demonstrating the desire and willingness ot the Association to help maintain Miami traditions. The Independent motto is Honor where honor is due. Bi-monthly meetings are held in the North Hall Recreation Room. There the current business ot the organization is transacted, followed by a social gathering with refresh- ments and entertainment. Two membership drives are held each year, one in October and one at the beginning ot the second semester.

E yah ml' i' Il' Athletic Director George L. Rider Another feather in the cap of George L. Rider, head of Miami's Physical Education Department, is the handling of the greatly expanded physical fitness training required by the V-12 program, which brings all of the facilities of the department under constant use and strain. He is ranked as one of the best track coaches in the nation by mem- bers of the sporting world. Under his tutelage, Miami track and cross country teams have enioyed such continuous success that the Red and White banner has an authority in this sport equalled in no other field. Coach Rider has been director of physical education since 1924 after holding similar positions at Hanover College, the University of Maine, and Washington University at St, Louis. During the World War I years of 1917-19 he was coach of all sports at Miami. His 1918 basketball team won ten contests in ten starts. Soon after arriving in Oxford he organized Miami's extremely efficient program for physical education and health teachers from which almost two hundred men have been graduated. Always stressing hard, clean play and the developing of athletes individ- ually, this great coach has developed many great track and field stars. However, his admiration is greatest for the man who works for the team rather than for individual glory. ln spite of wartime restrictions, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Merlin A. Ditmer is still scheduling leading col- leges in Ohio and elsewhere for meets, matches, and games with Miami's many teams. In addition he is assistant irectors Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Merlin Ditmer director of physical education, and, due to the expanded physical training program, he has taken over several classes. When there were such things as rules preventing freshman from participating in varsity sports, Dit hand- led the freshman football, basketball, and track teams and taught many great Miami athletes their fundamentals. A graduate of Otterbein College where he was a varsity man in football and track and an all-Ohio fullback, he coached there for seven years before coming on to the Redskin stamping grounds in 1927. Dit has studied coaching under many of the great masters-Rockne, Yost, Zuppke. His motto is keep diggin '. He likes to meet people and to try to guess their occupations. A believer in clean sport, Coach Ditmer is a credit to Miami. 0813 BS Although last year was the first at Miami for most of the present coaches, they succeeded in really putting the school on the map this season. For many years the booming voice of Thomas P. Van Voorhis has been familiar to Miamians. In pre-war years Van was Czar of intramural sports and had one of the best organized systems in the Middle West. Now he de- votes his full time to the expanded physical training pro- gram required by the V-12 unit. Stu Holcomb and genial Sid Gillman came up with the first winning Redskin football team in years. Handicapped by lack of time to practice, they welded a mixed aggrega- tion of civilians, Sailors, and Marines into a powerful grid machine that was one of the strongest in Ohio. Holcomb came to Miami from Washington and Jefferson. His team- mate at Ohio State, Sid Gillman, an All-American end, coached at Denison and Ohio State before taking up his line coaching duties at Miami. Coach Blue Foster and his Marine-Sailor-civilian squad made basketball history at Miami this year. The Redskins compiled a better record than any team in the past twenty years and were the top team in the state until the last game of the season. In addition, this fighting Red and White squad was considered one of the best in the nation. Foster came to Miami from Newport, Ky., high school where he left an enviable record behind him which in- cluded several state championships. -:W Blue Foster Stu Holcomb Von Van Voorhls Sid Gillman i s ' ssii Mx ix Mi i i'g lm ' RQ..

At the final game of the season on Thanksgiving Day, the Redskins again took the Musketeers from Xavier into camp, this time, 52-7. Holcomb used an all-civilian combination for the first half and they proved to all comers that Miami would have had a good football squad even without the Navy's aid. Individually Tevis' ground gaining ability and Russell's passing accuracy featured the play of the Redskins. Tevis not only ran well in broken field, but was a powerhouse at hitting the line. Russell, in his second year of passing for the Big Red, completed 49 out of 90 attempted forward passes for eleven touchdowns and 881 yards for a glorious year of pigskin chucking.

Outstanding on the line were pass receivers Bill Gall, Niall Scully and Eli Kaluger, while Wally Seminiuk, Al Clark, Pete Wisman, and Helmbold were fine linemen. These lads made the Miami squad strong where it has been terrifically weak in the past five years, on the line. The entire season was featured by clean, fast, deceptive football and in normal times could have been wielded into one of the best gridiron machines in this part of the coun- try. lt definitely proved that with good material, Coaches Holcomb and Gillman can give Miami university the place in football competition that it enioyed a decade ago.

For The Third sTraighT Time, ,Q William Kloss Frances Howlan Cole and Kessler led the scoring, but the points were well distributed among the i5 lads who wore the Red into the game. On New Year's night the Redskins journeyed to Dayton and measured the Wright Field Kittyhawks by a 57-30 score. Cole was the big gun in the first half, but Kessler and Seamen Healey and Kloss caused the fire- works in the final period. Big Chub Russell, gridiron star, moved from his guard position and operated in the pivot and became leading scorer as the Redskins downed the Bobcats of Ohio Uni- versity, 46-30. In a slow contest, the civilian Bobcats proved worthy opponents. The biggest basketball name in the state, Toledo U., invaded Withrow court but failed to halt the Redskin string as the Big Red played its best game of the season and won 64-37. Kessler scored 21 markers and was followed by a third high-scoring Marine, Israel Acker. Totaling their greatest number of points, the Redskins downed Earlham for the second time, 79-45. Leading dur- ing the first quarter, the Indiana quintet found its defense falling apart as nine Miami cagers found the Eariham hoops with Cole's efforts giving him the number one posi- tion. In their outstanding triumph of the year, the local lads defeated Indiana U. for the first loss that the Hoosiers had suffered on their own floor in two years. The fourth Marine basket-getter, John Sanders became a scoring threat for the first time, Marines Cole and Kessler also scored more than ten points, and for the glory of the Marine Corps, Glen Bruning dropped in the winning basket in the final minute of play. Glen Kessler Israel Acker Traditional rival, the University of Cincinnati, felt the Red- skin tomahawk, 66-52, as John Sanders did yeoman work on the offense and defense, tying Kessler for individual game honors with Qi points. The undermanned Bearcats had only seven civilians and the Navy's Hal Schneider in uniform, but gave a very good exhibition of slow-break basketball. The second Wright Field fray proved to be a rough and tumble melee with the local lads emerging victorious by a 65-44 margin. Don Cecil, Oregon State's and V-l2's gift to Miami, paced the squad with his one- handed efforts, as the Big Red won its tenth and final game.

Wayne Clopp Bob Kramer George Kermode Walter Denecke Base all 1943 The prospects for the i944 baseball season are big ques- tion marks with the present indications pointing to only four members of last season's large squad still being in school when the season opens. These include infielders Ott Oeiser and Wayne Clapp, catcher Carroll Anstaett, and outfielder Hal Tavzel. The material present in the V-T2 unit should give the Redskins its usual fine season, however. Under the direction of Coach William J. Blue Foster for the first time, the T943 squad with an unusual number of veterans won only five games while dropping four in a strange, rainy season that found the line-up constantly shifting. Sam Huston, Bobby Kramer, and Bud Thinnes re- turned from the previous year's outstanding squad, while veterans Wayne Clapp and George Kermode gave Miami promise of an outstanding squad that never materialized. Double wins were earned over Earlham and Ball State with the University of Cincinnati being the other victim. Ohio U., Ohio State and Cincinnati vanquished the Big Red diamondmen in what proved to be either wild or close contests, The two Earlham wins were by big margins with Sam Huston and Curley Covel tossing a no-hitter in the first game with Jim Liming limiting them to only one hit in the second meeting. The Ohio university games were wild affairs with plenty of errors and misplays as the Bobcats won 6-4 and T4-7 defeating and hitting any type of pitching thrown against them. Jim Liming pitched brilliant ball against the Ball Staters as they collected only three hits in the two games. Houston lost two tough decisions to Ohio State and Cin- cinnati, both in extra innings, as Don Grate bested him in a pitching duel in the former, while Ollie Robinson's triple proved his downfall in the latter. The U.C. victory was a Huston victory all the way as he pitched and batted his way to the win.

The Redskin fall distance runners had a very short cross country season as they only competed in four meets. Open- ' ' h ' their season with a loss to Oberlin in a dual meet, t ey ing hit their stride later in the season to avenge this defeat with a win over the Yeomen on Miami's course. William Wilson, frosh runner, proved the outstanding individual as ' ' ' th'rd he finished second in the Ohio Senior A.A.U. meet, I al Elks Run, and won the behind Gil Dodds in the annu t red team honors in the Elks Run Oberlin meet.

Phillips irectors WOMEN'S This year, more than ever, wornen's sports and activities have shared a large part of the limelight on campus. The lack of fraternity social life-their dances, parties, open houses-opened up excellent opportunities for Miami women to plan and develop entertainment and programs along the lines of athletics. Besides the required gym classes, there were the tournaments that attracted a large following, overnights, cook-outs, barn dances, hobby pro- jects, folk dance party, posture contest, Orchesis recital, and the big varsity contest. The great emphasis that has been placed on the impor- tance of physical fitness in our country today, has made the co-ed more health conscious and sport minded. Miami Women have entered whole-heartedly in team, individual, and rhythmic activities which were supervised by the phys- ical education department, and even launched their own physical fitness campaigns in the dorms. Nightly exer- cises plus a watchful eye on the number of cokes and cigarettes consumed also constituted a major part of their scheme. Margaret A. Shaw Martha R. Bryan Jeanne Bassett Dorothy M.

One doesn't have to be an exceptional athlete to be a member of the Women's Athletic Association, but rather, a girl must show an interest in sports and the activities of the organization. Perhaps that is the reason for the big turn out that greets each activity the WAA sponsors. The scholastic year of I943-44 started out with a huge success when the freshmen braved the rain for the annual Freshman Party at the cabin. The trip was made on hay wagons while everyone sang and enioyed themselves im- mensely. Penny Van Horn gave an amusing program to acquaint the girls with WAA-what it does and the re- quirements for membership. In October, and for the rest of the season, the organization took over the duties of Tribe Miami at the football and basketball games. It became a familiar sight to see the girls taking tickets at the gates and selling refreshments. Initiation of new members was held in January when three girls had completed the requirements for membership. At this time, white flannel jackets, the highest award of the WAA, were presented to six senior members while pins were presented to four others. WAA Kauffman, Dorothy Karstaedt.

Fox Janice The annual Posture Contest was staged the following month, when once again Dottie Karstaedt took the title. Bobbie Smith and Trudy James walked off with second and third places respectively. Also in February, McGuffey gymnasium was the scene of a gala Barn Dance. Charleen Shetter, chairman of the party, had everyone swingin' their pardners and promenadin' until they literally dropped from exhaustion. The spring program featured the Varsity Party where the finals in the ping pong, fencing, and badminton tour- naments were played off and the varsity basketball and bowling teams were chosen. The last meeting in the spring, was held at the cabin when initiation, awards, and the installation of the new officers took place. Throughout the season the organization was under the able leadership of the Board made up of the managers of the sports and the officers who were: Carolyn Dorn, President, Virginia Casperson, Vice-President, Lois Murphy, Secretary, and Dorothy Frie, Treasurer. The numerous activities of the Physical Education Depart- ment are all under the supervision of Miss Margaret Phil- lips, the very capable head of the department. Every sea- son finds her busy with one of the major activities. In the fall Miss Phillips is in charge of the Hockey Tournament, which terminates with a game or two with Western College. In the winter season it's gymnastics and folk dancing while spring finds her out on the tennis courts in charge of the tournament. But that's not all for this busy lady, for in addition to all these activities, Miss Phillips is adviser for the VVomen's Athletic Association and the physical educa- tion majors and minors. The rank of Lt. General goes to Miss Phillips' chief assist- ant, Miss Margaret A. Shaw. Be ye Indian or otherwise, Miss Show teaches all the old game of Lacrosse. Besides the Lacrosse tournament in the fall, she is in charge of the Badminton Tournament in the winter. This year Miss Shaw's Physical Fitness course included exercises, marching, the obstacle course, and deep knee bends.

FourI Iwith a Southern accentl warns anyone that Miss Bryan is helping an aspiring young golfer either in class or in the Tournament, While golf keeps Miss Martha Bryan busy in the fall and spring, it is only one part of her pro- gram. The fall season finds her also in charge ofthe Volley Ball Tournament, and spring gives her the Baseball Tourn- ament. In winter Miss Bryan has two other tournaments, basketball and fencing. Although she's from deep in The heart of and has a touch of Texas in her Talk, her interest is deep in The heart of the dance. This of course is Miss Dorothy White. As dance instructor Miss White's outstanding ability can be seen in The work of The Orchesis group, the junior Orchesis preparatory group, and The dance classes. Those wonderful overnights at the cabin and the outings are all due to one ingenious person. This person, Miss Jeanne Bassett, is known to all girls who ever thought about taking an organized hike or going out to the cabin for an eventful week-end. Her Camping and Outing classes are the favorites of many girls in both the fall and the spring. Miss Bassett is the superviser of the Hobby Shop, a creation of her own. The traditional Indian game, lacrosse, aroused spirited enthusiasm on our Redskin campus this past fall. Old WAA members and new freshmen, anxious for admission to our friendly circle, gathered to brush up their game and learn the new plays respectively. As the practice got under way it was soon evident that the newcomers caught on quickly and the old timers were using their past experience to good advantage. Under the able direction of Miss Shaw, practices were carried on and two lacrosse teams were formed. The mem- bers of the Two teams, one freshman team and one upper- class, showed a great deal of skill and spirit as they battled for the championship. The upperclassmen forged ahead, then the freshmen won a game, then The upperclassmen, until the season was over. Result: the two teams tied for the final count. With the first spring breezes, the softballs start flying and activity increases down behind the field house where the softball diamond is located. Softball is one of the most participated in, and best liked sports offered in the spring. Each year, freshmen, sophomores, iuniors, and seniors turn out for their respective class teams, and after several practices, The big tournament gets under way, This is a round-robin tournament and at the close of it, a cham- pionship team is selected to play a Team of Western Col- lege girls. 121 A study in symetry.

The fencing season was quite successful this year in spite of difficulties in finding a meeting time convenient for all concerned. The experienced fencers worked out first, later inviting interested freshmen from the fencing classes to ioin them. All together fourteen girls turned out and South Hall recreation room literally rang with shouts of On Guard and the clash of foils. Coach Bryan officiated at the semi-final and final fenc- ing bouts held at the Varsity Party in McGuffey Gym at the end of March. Scotty McPherson was defeated in the semi-finals by Marian Howell, and Ruth Nicholson was defeated by Molly Boles. In the final bout Marian and On guard! Molly battled fiercely for twenty minutes before Molly won with the necessary three points. The badminton season opened about the second week in February at McGuffey Gym. There, every Tuesday and Thursday nights, Miss Shaw and Miss Barbara Kelly con- ducted the tournament. Each player played five games and the winner of the most games was the champion of the year. Doubles or singles may be played. The birdie was really batted around this winter as we had some outstanding players. Some of our more promising players played in the semi-final and final tournaments. Sarah Prugh and Martha Wallingford, both sophomores, won the doubles contest and Sarah Prugh won the singles tournament. So many of us go through life without a goal, but this Fall a number of women sport enthusiasts had one-the archery target. The archery tournament this year was set up to include the novice as well as the more advanced archers. The class B tournament for beginners shot 72 arrows from 30 yards. Class A shot six columbia rounds. The columbia consisted of 24 arrows shot from each of the ranges-50 yards, 40 yards, and 30 yards. From watching girls on the teams compete for the title champion, one might easily have been reminded of Robin Hood or Wil- liam Tell. The girls whose arrows most frequently hit the goal were Helen Paladina and Metta Breckenridge, who won the class B tournament. The class A tournament was won by Mildred Kancavicus and Irene Kadaras. These contestants not only enioyed the sport of the game itself and acquired a definite skill, but also learned something of team work and co-operation. Buckle those shin guards tightly. Horseback riding combines invigorating exercise with en- joyment of the beautiful scenery to be found in and around Oxford. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Green each girl goes through a preliminary period, learning to sit her horse in good style and then proceeding to the walk-trot stage. At this point the equestrians usually leave the ring and take rides out into the surrounding country- side. On the last ride of the season, the class rides until the red towers of Oxford are out of vievv. Here both horse and riders enioy a rnuch needed rest and the girls partake of a picnic supper. You will see the concrete tennis courts peppered with shorts-clad girls batting the ball over the net, with the first signs of Spring. Here, the beginners learn to keep their left sides to the net, to serve in the proper court, and the fundamental principles of tennis. lt isn't very long after receiving some expert instructions, that the girls play some exciting games. Under the leader- ship of a manager chosen by the board of the Women's Athletic Association, the racquetters carry on an exciting, enthusiastic tournament attended by a number of spec- tators. Fresh air, exercise, vigorous activity, and friendly competition all enter into the picture to make this sport most desirable for any one who is at all interested in athletic participation.

Golf is one of the most popular individual sports offered to the girls of Miami University. ln class the girls learn to play, and then out to the to put their learning into practice. According to experts, there is at the present time a more urgent need for fitness than ever before. Golf offers not onl this Y YI but also social opportunities. university golf course they go physical activit Usually the WAA sponsors a golf tournament for the more enthusiastic players. lt is a wonderful way to learn good sportsmanship, fellowshi , and th p e ioy of living. It is not an uncommon sight to behold several Miami coeds out carrying golf bags across campus to the wide open spaces where some try for a birdie, some try to drive the green, and others are just lucky to hit the ball. No Bullying for possession of a hockey ball. Riding ring presents a spring diversion matter how skilled, each girl derives th e some benefits and can't wait to show the family her newly acquired ability. Orchesis, national modern dance honorary, is associated with the WAA, and ' ' was first established on Miami com- pus in i93l. Any girls interested in dance may attend weekly meetings of iunior Orchesis until they are ready for the tryouts iudged by Orchesis members. The approach to initiation and membership is through these tryouts and a period of apprenticeship. All work is purely voluntary, with no credits given. This year, instead of the usual com- plete recital of dance given each spring, Orchesis pre- sented three numbers with the University Orchegtrq gf Q Pop Concert. The Orchesis group is under the direction of Miss Dorothy M. White. IW +1 'Lg'-iii! Campus Life 'vb NX gb ce QQ M QwX fzf . .

With a wider selection than their Greek brothers, the sororities had a tough time choosing from the multitude of freshman women who entered the University this fall. But once rushing and pledging was a thing of the past, the sororities began to function, names and individuals began to be associated with the various Miami is proud of her sororities not national standing but also because Greek organizations. only because of their of their contributions on campus. The groups as an organized whole, function through the campus Pan-Hellenic Council. This committee is made up of the president and one representative from each sorority and works to promote cooperation and progress of the various sororities. lt also sponsors dances, makes fraternal laws, regulates rushing, and encourages benefit, Red Cross, and war work. Since the University rules do not permit sorority houses, the girls hold meetings in the individual suites located in the wings of North and South Hall, women's dormitories. These suites consist of a living room, a kitchenette, and a powder room. The suites are also used for rush parties, informal gatherings, study, and are home to many of the girls. The sororities are on a quota system, limiting the number of girls a group can pledge during the course of a year. This puts all sororities on the same basis and gives each one an equal opportunity to keep its roll book filled to capacity. At lvliami, the fall pledge class must remain pledged for a full year, with initiation coming in the fall of a girl's sophomore year. The administration feels that Spring initiation of the students would take away some of the incentive to return the next year. The initiation of any girl depends upon her scholastic average, which varies in requirement according to the individual sorority rules. The strong feeling of unity between the sororities is a product of friendly competition, inter-sorority friendships lbrought about, perhaps, by the lack of individual housesi, and through inter-sorority organizations like Pan-Hellenic. The sorority girl herself is a typical American co-ed. She has activities, intelligence, grace, personality, and is above all proud of and true to the particular badge she wears. Two bits it's posed. Something new-a crooner. President Mary Brennan. Brahms, Boogie, or Blues? Though locally, Alpha Chi Omega is among the younger chapters, it started on its way nationally at DePauw Uni- versity in l885.

' tiii B A-X is FRATER ITIES The back-to-school parade this fall found many and far- reaching changes on the Miami campus as on most other campuses Throughout the nation. Returning Greeks for the first time in many years found their houses already ac- cupied. University freshmen and upperclass women took over the Beta, D.U., Sig Alph, Phi Tau, Delt, and Sigma Nu houses while freshman men moved into the Phi Delt, Deke, and Sigma Chi houses. The interfraternity presidents' council was reorganiied and swung into action. New war-rushing rules were made and other new problems discussed. Navy and Marine V-i2 men were rushed and pledged by the active chapters on the campus, who already had many of last year's brothers back in uniform. Chapter meetings were usually scheduled for Sunday morn- ings as this allowed the service men to attend. The Uni- versity provided rooms for those chapters who had no other place to hold their meetings. Surprisingly enough, even with the great handicaps im- posed on them, the Greeks had a full schedule of social events during the year. Frequent uptown breakfasts and banquets were held by many of the chapters. Dances were less frequent because of the lack of accommodations, but the D.U.'s held a series of open houses on Sunday evenings at the Ball home, and the Phi Tau's held a dance in their National Headquarters while the Sigma Nu's held a winter formal in McGuffey auditorium. The Beta's get credit for the only serenades given and the Sig Alphs deserve men- tion for their club rooms next to the Purity, A number of fraternities were represented by V-I2 teams in basketball, and the interfraternity intramurals kept in- terest high. Many Greeks' pins still remain on the campus on feminine sweaters, and alumni now in the service were constantly seen arriving back to see their dream girls and to visit with the remaining brothers. Along with the good news, however, must come the bad. An increasing number of war casualty reports flowing back to the chapters during the year caused more serious attitudes and cast a shadow over social activities. Many citations of bravery fell upon the chests of former Miami Greeks who are now stationed on the far-flung battle fronts of the United Nations. Letters flowed back telling of chance meetings of former brothers in out of the way places, let- ters telling of plans to return to the house after the war, and letters asking for news and more news of brothers and activities. As the year drew to a close, we looked back with no lit- tle pride, for changing times demand changing attitudes and methods, we faced the new problems and came through with shining colors, whatever those colors might be.
