DELTA THETA PHI Dean John Cook Vice Dean Mike Kapp Chancellor of the Steve Boak Tribune Robert Paye Bailiff John Hartranft Master of Ritual Chip Bankson Clerk Mike Fegan Exchequer John Cook, Dean Delta Theta Phi, founded in 1913 by the union of three existing legal fraternities, now has more student senates and active alumni groups than any other law fraternity. Christiancy Senate at the University of Michigan was one of the charter senates when the fraternity was formed. The present fraternity house, an imposing manorial edifice which is being purchased by the Delts, serves as a home for some members and a social base of operations for all the members of Delta Theta Phi. For those waging the continuing struggle, symptomatic of the law school syndrome, to preserve their sanity in the face of running covenants, U.S.C. provisions and the Federal Tax Code, the house provides a most fluid and enjoyable social program. T.G.'s, Friday night cocktail hours, post-game cocktail parties, and Saturday night parties constitute the back-bone of the Delt social schedule. This list is by no means definitive, however, since, as a rule, the Delts are highly solicitous of their sanity, and parties, impromptue or ela- borately conceived, are liable to range out of control at any time. The athletic teams of the Delt A.C., according to coach J.B. fPapaJ Griffith, are presently in their thirty third consequtive building year. They do, nonetheless, provide the members with the op- portunity to rid themselves of aggressions and build character. The roster of Delt alumni includes such men as Oliver Wendall Holmes, Calvin Coolidge, William T. Wood Jr., J. Edgar Hoover and Earl E. Hood, to name but a few.

Consistent with this growth, Michigan's Chapter, Kent Inn, boasts 180 mem- bers, the largest fraternity on campus. The purpose of Phi Delta Phi is to provide its members with a needed social outlet from their law school endeavors. In furtherance of that purpose, Phid provides a highly-regarded social program. Speci- fically this program includes: mixers 1 T.G.'s J with the cream of the feminine undergraduate societyg Happy Hour every Friday night-whichwe generally try to bring to a halt some time before sunrise on Satur- dayg and Saturday night holocausts complete with band. Less frequent occasions include: Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Spring Vacation Partiesg the Champagne Partyg the semi-annual Phid-Nu Sig boutg and any other excuse for a party which may germinate- in the restive Phid minds. In addition, the Phid lounge, complete with juke box and appropriate liquid refreshments, is open twenty-four hours a day for members and guests. Turning to athletics, the phid A. C. subsidizes and fields feared teams in all major intramural sports, including football, basketball and baseball, etc. Although suffering occasional setbacks, Phid has proved a perenial powerhouse in intramurals-be it on the gridiron, hardwood court, or diamond. Throughout the Michigan Campus, the words Phi Delta Phi have become synonomous with the well rounded law student-a person both academically and socially sound. Thus we point with understandable pride to the quality of the men who call themselves Phids . President Maurice Schoenberger Treasurer .

' Epsilon Chapter of Tau Epsilon Rho has served the University of Michigan Law School and its members since 1926. Luncheon meetings, where members share ideas with professional guest speakers, are a principle function of the chapter. In addition, the chapter actively participates in intramural sports events and sponsors regular social gatherings for the members. The social highlights for the year are the Home- coming Dinner Dance andthe Spring Ball. At these lively events, members of the national fraternity govern- ing board, alumni, and present members feast and frolic with dates and wives. Tau Epsilon Rho is a national fraternity of 5,000 members. lt began its existence as a national fra- ternity in 1921 when two local law fraternities from Western Reserve University and Ohio State University combined to form Tau Epsilon Rho, an Ohio Corporation. Sixteen undergraduate chapters have been founded since its inception, the last being Phi Chapter at the University of Miami in 1952. Ten active graduate chapters maintain ties between alumni members from Boston to Chicago and from Milwaukee to Miami. Each year the fraternity holds a national convention hosted by one of the graduate chapters. Moot court competition, business meetings, and festive social gatherings combine to make a gay atmosphere over the New Year's Holiday. The Benjamin N. Cardozo Memorial Award is presented at each national convention to the person who best exemplifies the spirit of Cardozo in contributing to our democratic way of life. Among the distinguished recipients of the Award are: Honorable Robert H. Jackson, Honorable Frank Murphy, Honorable Learned Hand, Honorable Fred M. Vinson, Honorable Roscoe Pound, Pearl S Buck, and Adlai E. Stevenson. we I Chancellor g William Barris JL Vice Chancellor - I James Laughlin ' Bursar Ronald Gilbert Historian ' James Boskey Master of the Rolls Edmund Frost B111 Barris, Chancellor 54 An Exee Meeting
