Once again the Betas were a power in Pan-Hellenic events, taking second place in football behind their captain, York Feitel. With most of the team returning and a strong pledge team, the Betas will be able to give a strong challenge again next year. On the Beta social calendar was the famous Jungle party, a high- light of the year. In direct contrast was the traditional Blue and White Formal. In addition to these two gala events were the usual small parties that enabled Beta to continue the long hard educational grind. Beta ' s love and gratitude must be extended to their housemother, Mrs. Elizabeth Dalgarn, who has done so much to make the Beta house a home for the out of town boys. In campus activities.

■ DELTA KAPPA EPSILON ■ TAU LAMBDA CHAPTER The Tau Lambda Chapter of DKE was established at Tulane in 1889, fifty-five years after its founding at Yale. Since that time, Dekes have been most active in campus affairs, and this year was no exception. The chapter took part in most facets of Pan-Hellenic competition and emerged with a com- mendable record. An outstanding pledge class, netted at the end of a roaring Rush Week, took part with the members in active ly participating in a number of extra-curricular activities. Deke ' s famous social gatherings were their usual successes, and, as ever, enjoyed by everyone. The annual Debutramp Ball could hardly be forgotten, along with the Toga party. Another Deke innovation, the Ivy League Weekend, rounded out a full social sea- son, together with a host of other parties that helped to make the season a success. Many members held positions of responsibility during the year. Richard Freeman was president of Business Administration, Buddy Friedrichs being a unit manager, while three others served on the Honor Boards of their respective colleges. Benny Powell was a member of the Pan-Hell Judiciary Committee. Other Dekes served in class offices, on the staff of the Hullabaloo, and as officers in the ROTC.
