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.

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.

86U 60l'l 01458 The largest men's open house on campus, Pearson House, is an organization of over sixty-five men with members from all sections of the United States and foreign lands. Since its inception in l936, Pearson House organization has been based upon the principles of cooperation and democratic self-government. Men enter Pearsons voluntarily, are asked to support the principles of the organization, and leave if it is their desire to do so. Cooperation rather than compulsion is the motivating principle of the organizational program devised by the men and their elected officers. ln a group so large one might expect versatility. The program, once planned, is effected not by the use of compulsory measures but by the em- phasis upon the 'lPearson principle that sixty-eight men cooperating produce individual bene- fits unable to be achieved by any one man alone. The Pearson Griffins have as their motto. One man is no man. lt is the firm belief of the Pearson executive council that any program which meets the needs of the men in the organization will be supported enthusiastically by those men. When any phase of the Griffin program fails, the officers believe that the procedure to be followed is a change in the program. No organization can operate without the individuals fusing efforts. Every man in Pearson has been important in the program. These men have been inspired and given spirit, however, by leadership of James Morrison, house president and Myron Chevlin, house counsellor.
