OFFICERS MAP BANQUET PLANS Ed Kuenzler, historiung Gilbert Eehelman, secretaryg Henry Kittleson, vice-presiclentg Al Gammage, president. PHI ET IGMA ational cholastic Fraternity I U The intellectual upper crust of the freshman class comprises the membership of Phi Eta Sigma. Not content with just average grades, aspirants to this national scholastic fraternity must make a minimum of half A's and half B's during either their first semester or first year. It is not surprising that only BM, of the freshman class becomes eligible for initiation. The Florida chapter was chartered in 1930, through the efforts of Dean of Men R. C. Beaty, himself a Phi Eta Sigma and the present faculty advisor. In addition to assisting in freshman orientation each semester, the chapter is laying plans for a scholarship fund, the purpose of which will be to bring to the university worthy and promising students who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Yosim, Samuel Phi Kappa Phi, one of the highest honorary scholastic societies at the University of Florida, numbers among its membership undergraduate students, graduates, and faculty members. Its prime object is the promotion of scholarship and irreproachable character. This society differs from other high honor scholastic societies in that its doors are open to students in any de partment of study in the institution where the chapter exists. It welcomes the engineer, the agriculturalist the architect, or the chemist as heartily as it does the classical scholar or the man of letters. 239

LPH PHI U EG , 'WITH ' 'T' Each year members of Alpha Phi Omega, the national service fraternity, do more business than a free lunch counter on the Bowery just because they are willing and available for work. And it doesn't matter what kind of Work or service it is, either. In fact, ever since April 14, 1931 when the Tau chapter was founded locally, sundry persons have bucked on down to Alpha Phi Omega most of the various campus service tasks that had to be performed by someone. Often those tasks have been tedious and quite often sweat-provoking, too. A hasty glance over Alpha Phi Omega's roster of services performed annually would disclose that they set up and operate alumni registration booths at Homecoming, provide special police and ushering at the 'Gator Crowl, conduct gray-bearded alumni and wide-eyed visitors on campus tours, hold public opinion polls, extol the virtues of University of Floridaism before touring high school students, conduct charity fund raising campaigns by holding the annual King Ugly contest in which campus ogrcs vie for that dubious distinction, visit and perform errands for infirmary inmates, distribute F books, provide group leaders for orientation and sponsor the Talent Shop radio show. As you pause for breath after scanning that list, it should be apparent, therefore, that Alpha Phi Omega clings wholeheartedly to its avowed intent of assembling college men into the fellowship of the scout oath and law and that they seek both to develop friendship and to promote service to humanity. Membership rcquisites stress that each candidate must have had previous training in scouting, a satisfactory scholastic standing and must, of course, be motivated by a seeting desire to render service to others.
