X amgvla ' J4 FA The Lambda Chis seem to have gained the place of distinction as the obiect of all the remarks which fly about the northern ofthe two main men's quads whenever informal riots are held. But they don't mind it, they are a happy bunch, inspired by happy Phil Murphy who bubbles in, out, and around the house as its capable president. Happy too leach in his own wayl are pledge-baiting vice-president Gross, cigarette-vending secretary Engel, suspected treasurer Solum, fun- loving rushing chairman Hopkins, energetic house manager Glasson, and droll l?l pledge-trainer Rogers. The Lambda Chis have enioyed many happy times, too, this year, take for instance, the surprise party held for Hopkins late one night and the campaigns on election eve, or the gay straw-strewn Hal- lowe'en party, the lavish gifts at Christmas, and the other informal house parties as well as the several formals held during the year. But any college life is not all fun. Numerous Lambda Chis have taken time to participate in college activities. Phil Murphy, ex-editor of the Syllabus, is on the Board ot Publications, and Bob Schnuck is president of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary iournalism fraternity. Wally Solum is a north-campus promotion co-chairman for the Junior Prom, while Jim Tate is publicity chairman of the Wildcat Council. Bob Keller was co-chairman of the house decorations committee for Home- coming. And so on down the list. Yet whether the subiect be intellectual or athletic or social, whether it be verbal arguments with the neighboring houses or discussions about the house's waiting staFt, the Lambda Chis never let it get them down.

Not so with the Holgate boys, for they are rising to 'far greater heights. Holgate is a citadel of scholarship, athletic prowess, and de- termination. Five of its brain boys have wormed their way up to the dubious distinction of Phi Eta Sigma eligibility. Ken Mans- field is a major constellation in the sophomore sky. Other Phi Eta Sigma fodder are Dick Thurston, Maurice Green, George Grubb, and Hugh Jennings. The house is surfeited with brawn boys. lt started the year by winning most of its football games and also made a re- spectable record in basketball. But most im- pressive and dear to hearts of Holgatians is its amazing array of bar-bells in the basement. Here the boys assiduously bemuscle themselves. Bill Houpt, president, and Hugh Jennings, vice-president, Phi Bete and member of the varsity debate squad, are determined. They have managed by a dazzling coup to main- tain themselves in power .... This, they hope, will be accomplished by the simple expedient of suspending all future house meetings so that new officers may not be elected.

Aided by Jack White's inspired torch song and Orestes Pavia in his Puerto Rican Conga, Lind- gren House for the second time in succession won second place in this annual event, one of Lindgren's activities. Lindgren has always believed in a well-knit organization, and this year the admin- istrative iobs were ably handled by president Jack White, vice-president Harvey Meyers, secretary Don Pash, treasurer Orestes Pavia, social chairman Dave Loomis, and freshman president Paul La Benz. Around the house probably the most noticeable things during the year were Bob Rodwin with his hat and his inimitable ways, or Paul La Benz and his almost nightly trumpet wailings. But many Lindgrenites were active outside the house in campus life, take from the long list, for instance, .lack White, president of the Student Governing Board, Harvey Meyers, treasurer of the Sophomore Class, YMCA cabinet member, and member of the Syllabus business staft, Bob Iverson, Purple Parrot business staFt and YMCA cab- inet member, Bob Schreiber, Junior Supervisor of Films for Scott Hall, Jacques Ehle, social chairman of Aesculapian Society, Sam Blattspieler, assistant editor of the Purple Salvof Bob Rodwin, Daily music critic, and Howard Kilbert, member of the band and A Cappella Choir.
