'rl Sigma au Honorary Fraternity Sigma Tau is an honorary engineering fraternity organized to recognize scholastic and professional achievement. Its members are selected from the upper one-third of the junior and senior classes on the basis of scholarship, sociability, and practicality. The fraternity aims to recognize outstanding student engineers and to promote projects which will advance the best interests of engineering education. The review sessions held for the first time last year proved to be very helpful to those taking the E.I.T. ex- amination. Sigma Tau continued the sessions again this year with some changes made necessary by changes in the E.l.T. exami- nation. Members of Sigma Tau conducted campus tours for parents on Parents' Day in the fall. Each year Sigma Tau sponsors a S2500 Freshmen Award which is present- ed to a member of the sophomore engineer- ing class who best typifies the precepts of the fraternity during his freshmen year. The highest member of each class is also given recognition by Sigma Tau. Dr. R. L. Sandvig is the faculty advisor. t W . rf

Chapter activities usually consist of speakers and films covering a wide variety of topics. Field trips are attempted whenever y possible. This year a tour was made of the neutrino experiment at the bottom of the Homestake Gold Mine, ll and representatives attended the Zone IX SPS Convention in Omaha, Nebraska.
