Interfraternity Coancil A mystic bond of brotherhood makes all Tnen one. — Thomas Carlyle. After a war-time lag, the Interfraternity Council has made great strides in regaining its prestige as being one of the strongest organ- izations on campus. The purpose of the Council is to foster better relations between the fraternities and the administration. Meet- ing twice monthly, it formulates plans for social and athletic activities, and regulates men ' s rushing functions. Fall rushing, starting later than usual, was a tremendous success with more than two- hundred and fifty men pledged. The Council has long sought to keep its methods of rushing on the highest possible level and especially so during the past year. OflBcers elected for the fall semester were: ' Duke ' Kazlauskus, Lambda Chi Alpha, presi- dent; Jack Clark, Alpha Tau Omega, vice- president; Ralph Penny witt. Kappa Alpha, secretary; and Bob Mattingly, Alpha Gamma Rho, treasurer. The Council was active in organizing all sports events of the Intramural Association and inaugurated an Interfraternity Bowling League which was actively supported by all the fraternities in the Council. The Interfraternity Spring Formal, held at Washington ' s Hotel Statler, graced the early part of February. Music was by Glen Gray and Company. With the return of many veterans to the campus, most of the fraternities are stronger than before the war. Prospects for the future strength of the fraternities is assured for some time to come with the increasing enrollment of men into the University. The Pan-Hellenic tadi The Pan-Hellenic Association strove this year for better cooperation among sororities, independents, and the administration. Thurs- day night meetings proved interesting to the two representatives from every sorority, and the Pan-Hellenic spirit was carried back to their respective groups. For the second year, Pan-Hell sponsored a pre-school rush season. Two Open House Teas opened the week of exciting parties for the rushees. Preference Tea climaxed this fall rush season; two days later 138 coeds were sporting various pledge pins from one of the 13 sororities. Junior Pan-Hell was reorganized this year. This Council is composed of the presidents of the pledge classes and one rotating member from each sorority. The vice-president of the Senior Council is in charge of the junior group. Through the American Theater Wing, Pan- Hellenic Council sponsored variety shows for the entertainment of the service men in hos- pitals in the Washington vicinity. The sorori- ties also entertained informally in the wards with small acts, group singing, individual per- formances, and bridge playing. The main social event during the year was the Pan-Hellenic Spring Formal. The first night of spring was started off right to the music of Dick Jergens. Officers are chosen by a process of rotation among the sororities. This year Phyllis Bis- carr. Phi Sigma Sigma, served as president, Pat Bennington, Sigma Kappa, vice-presi- dent, Sara Ann Huebel, Pi Beta Phi, secre- tary, and Poe Ewell, Kappa Kappa Gamma, treasurer. «e

DeaH of Women Student life Committee When Adele Hagner Stamp first came to the Maryland campus in 1922 to act as Dean of Women, there were only 43 coeds here. With much enthusiasm, she has seen the women ' s department grow from the small handful to the present enrollment of almost 2000. Our Dean of Women is a Marylander through and through. After gaining her B.A. degree from Tulane University, she came to Maryland to receive her M.A. Women students come to her in ever increas- ing numbers for guidance in their problems. When asked what part of her full time job she likes the best, she repUed, I like all of it, for it has been a thriUing experience to watch the growing of the University, and to work with the yoimg people of this generation. Led by Dr. Charles White, the Student Life Committee serves as an advisory body for student affairs and acts as coordinator be- tween the administration and the students. Though the committee holds conferences as a unit, it generally carries out its policies through various sub-committees. This powerful group is responsible for grant- ing charters to all new clubs, including frater- nities and sororities; also, the committee is responsible for health and sanitation on the campus. Members of this governing body are: Col. Harlan G. Griswold, Dr. James H. Reid, Dr. Susan E. Harman, Miss Alma Preinkert, Prof. Charles F. Kramer, Jr., Dr. Dudley Dillard, Dr. P. Lejins, Dean Geary Eppley, and Dr. Norman Phillips. Dean of Men Geary F. Eppley, Dean of Men, is not only the biisiest man on campus, but also the hard- est to get to see. After securing his B.S. and M.S. from this University, Dean Eppley worked as Associate Professor in the College of Agriculture. He became Dean of Men in 1937, and has held that position steadily with the exception of a few war years. Dean Eppley ' s duties are many and varied. He himself best described his activities when he said, I worry about everything outside the classroom. He supervises student em- ployment and gives guidance to men students. Dean Eppley ' s position might be better titled Director of Student Welfare. In his capacity as Athletic Director, he promotes a full com- prehensive athletic program with the interest of audience and participants in mind. Gradnate Sciiool Oonncil The Graduate School offers facilities for study leading to all graduate degrees; the degrees given are Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Education, Master of Busi- ness Administration, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The general f imctions of the Graduate School faculty are carried on by the Graduate Coim- cil, headed by Dr. Charles O. Appleman. Dr. Appleman has served as Dean of the Council since 1919, when it was established. Dr. Ap- pleman received his degree of Doctor of Phi- losophy in Bacteriology from the University of Chicago. The opportunities afforded graduate stu- dents have been greatly enhanced by the es- tablishment of fellowships by the Federal Government and numerous private industries. 25

Phi Delta Ma MARYLAND ALPHA CHAPTER Founded at MIAMI UNIVERSITY in 1848 Established at MARYLAND in 1930 Combining with the other brothers already present, the boys from as far back as 1938 brought the fraternity into the prestige and power it had enjoyed in past years. Boyd Waters and Gene Vreeland shared prexy duties. Continuing as a formidable power in ath- letics, Phi Delt produced these well-known varsity athletes: Tommy Mont, Jack Reds ' Wright, George Simler, John Fahrner, and George Barnes, assistant football coach; Jack and Bill Ruppersberger and Earl Uhler were lacrosse men; Baker Harward boxed; and Jack Wright and Jimmy Render played tennis. The boys fell heir to the new interfrater- nity championship, the hotly contested soft- ball title of ' 46, and the football cup which the club won by not dropping one game. Well-established in campus society and activity, they placed Boyd Waters as presi- dent of the Rossborough Club. Gene Edgett was nominated to the position of Junior Prom chairman, and Emory Harman held social chairmanships for both the Senior Class and Rossborough Club. Phi Delt placed a man on each of the main publications on campus. Gene Heil served on the Old Line, Ted Farrell, the Diamondback, and Bill Groome, the Tebeapin. Dick Betson at the ivories played for the frequent Univer- sity productions. Instituted this year was the George Barnes- Monk Mier Memorial Trophy for a fellow Phi, Tony Nardo, killed in Europe during the war. Each year a new trophy will be presented to the outstanding lineman on the Maryland football squad by the president of the frater- nity. This fine spirit being typical of the Phi Delt ' s, we look for their continued success in athletics and activities in the future. Members: John H. Bandiere, George W. Barnes, George A.
