A familiar sight on campus during Hell Week are the tired, worn out Theta pledges car- rying their traditional gold bricks around their necks and doing more pushups. Melvin Jordan, Jerry Coward, Leo Rios, Donald Rives and Cliff Taylor enjoy the only snowfali of the winter by preparing ammunition for a snowball fight. 205

Theta Mistletoe Ball Features Gay Spirit THETA SIGMA CHI initiated the festive holiday season this year by hosting its sixth an- nual Mistletoe Ball early in December. The dance promotes the Christmas atmosphere, displaying the traditional decorations of mistletoe and cedar. During the ball, the Thetas honored their sweet- heart and mascots for the 1963-64 year. Joyce Stendebach was named sweetheart while Lynn An- derson, Frances Ferrell, and Carol Langholz were honored as mascots. Another big Theta event is the pledge ban- quet, held each semester to honor the initiates. The occasion includes a candlelight dinner, the pinning of the pledges, and the singing of the Theta song. The fraternity initiated 28 new mem- bers this year. Before the ordeal of Hell Week, rush- ees are entertained and feted at rush parties which are a far cry from the hectic initiation period. Kurt Philip- pus, at right, greets David Carlton, facing him. 204

In only 45 minutes the Thetas, along with the Sigma Phi Alpha Tau sorority, collected $63.26 for the United Fund. With the help of a slave sale, the group also raised $35.00 for the Rare Books fund, a traditional project of the fra- ternity. The fraternity was also very popular with the sororities, because eight members were chosen sorority mascots, and two were selected sweet- hearts. u M t To down Delta Iota Chi 18-6.
