Rene Curry, president ■ ALPHA TAU OMEGA ■ BETA EPSILON CHAPTER Alpha Tau Omega, the first fraternity founded after the War Between the States, had its birth at Virginia Military Institute in 1865. Louisiana Beta Epsilon chapter was established at Tulane in 1887. Near the close of a tremendous Rush Week, climaxed by the pledg- ing of eighteen top men, the brothers were elated by an announce- ment at the outstanding Alumni Banquet-Rush Party held at the Southern Yacht Club. Although the chapter house was recently re- modeled the Alumni have contracted to purchase a new house for the chapter at 712 Broadway. As always, the Taus ' calendar included the Cave Party, followed by the annual Christmas Party with its poem of praise to the chapter brothers. With the benefit of a somewhat enlarged Santa suit, Carl Craine distributed gifts to the orphans. By way of custom, ATO ended each semester with a traditional party. The Sweetheart Formal at the New Orleans Country Club closed the first semester properly, and the Beachcomber Party pro- vided the finishing touches for the school term. The newsmaking ATO banana wagon-train successfully journeyed to Bourbon Street on the Mardi Gras holiday. Active in all phases of Pan-Hellenic competition, the ATO brothers placed third in football, won the volleyball championship, and took third place honors with their Homecoming display. Beta Epsilon had its members in many honorary and elective or- ganizations. Omer Kuebel served as president of Delta Sigma Pi, and Thomas Gonsoulin was president of Alpha Epsilon Delta, serving also on the Arts and Science Honor Board. Seats on the Student Council were held by Reynolds Wagnon and Wayne Barcelo, who was also Vice-President of his engineering class and a member of Tau Beta Pi. John Chaffe was elected to member- ship in Sigma Pi Sigma. Not under the net! OVER! ' Actions speak louder than words. 272
