PHI MU ALPHA Phi Mu Alpha, a national profes- sional fraternity for men interested in musical activities, has been active at Texas Tech since 1954. Each year the organization is musically active throughout the entire college. Giv- ing concerts, serenading women ' s dorm- itories, and participating in national mus- ical events has been an active year for Phi Mu Alpha. The annual Inter-Fraternity Sing- Song, organized and inaugurated by Phi Mu Alpha, was again an outstanding function of campus life. Special selec- tions from West Side Story were pre- sented by Phi Mu Alpha and other musical organizations. Membership is open to any male stu- dent who is interested in music, rather than limiting membership to music ma- jors and minors only. Dr. Hemmle, Head of the Music Department, sponsors the organization. Phi Mu Alpha was originated October 6, 1898, at the New England Conserv- atory of English. Today there are over 100 chapters of the fraternity in the United States, and there are tentative plans to make the fraternity an inter- national one. Some of the most out- standing musicians in the world belong to Phi Mu Alpha.

KAPPA KAPPA PSI Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity for college bandsmen, has been called the bickbone of the band and the right hand of the director. The organization works to promote the exis- tence and welfare of the college band. The men are chosen for unswerving loyalty, gentlemanly conduct and good taste. Each football season the fraternity pro- vides the visiting band with water at half- time and welcomes them to the Tech campus. Kappa Kappa Psi has kept itself busy this year establishing an alumni chapter — Omega Gamma, the third national alumni chapter. On band trips, the men provide cold drinks and help the director keep the band running smoothly. Each year the fraternity sponsors the election of the Band Sweetheart. In 1962-63 she was Miss Anita Martin, sophomore student from Hale Center, majoring in elementary education. The organization is also instrumental in orien- tating incoming freshman band members, and visits prospective members for re- cruiting purposes. A brochure, depicting the many faces of Tech and especially the Raider Band is put out by the fra- ternity. It ' s not all work and no play! In conjunction with Tau Beta Sigma, fra- ternity for bandswomen.
