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.

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.
