This the Forty-third volume of the Owl was published under the direction of Walter L. Thompson, III, Editor, and Richard G. Wallace, Business Manager 15s3 PITB1ISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH, Pljfj S YLV Ij f 1 ft LTJi.618 fr 9 ms cofl.2- T ic Commons Room Gales P T HROUGH The Portals Each day at put we have passed through many portals into the many worlds that, gathered together, are the University. Because we have gone in and out of these doorways so many times, we have come to look at them without seeing; yet each doorway has come to have for us a meaning. When we return to Pitt in years to come, the sight of a familiar doorway will recall experiences we knew on the other side of that door. The carved door of a Nationality Room, the heavy, iron-studded door of the Chapel, the glass-panelled door of a dean's office, a noble Gothic arch in the Commons Room, the ugly, black door to an unfinished classroom — each has come to have an association with the world it opens into. And so to tie together our story of the year '47-'48 we have used the doorways of Pitt as our theme. For our frontispiece we have chosen the wrought-iron gates of the Commons Room, gates “to the love of wisdom, and to days rich in living.” In their craftsmanship and their delicacy of design, they signify the beauty, the inspiration, and the high purpose that we found in the University. Often, as we have walked through these gates, our eyes have been drawn upward by the subtle rhythms of the framing arch to the inscription that crowns the gates and completes the harmony of hammered iron and written word. Surely, as the inscription reads, “Here is eternal Spring. For you the very stars of Heaven are new.” Between the covers of this book, then, we have tried to capture the spirit that is beyond the doors, the spirit that is Pitt. If we have succeeded only a little, then we will have accomplished the purpose of our year’s work. We hope that on these pages you, the student, will find a reminder of the joys, the problems, and the friendships of your own college life; we hope, too, that in this volume others who are not students will find an appreciation and understanding of the love which we, the students, have for Pitt.

We open the door to the office of a beloved teacher, enter a familiar classroom, or pass through the glass-panelled door of a dean’s office. Merc we hnd the people responsible for Pitt’s distinguished place in the world of education. To their efforts are we indebt- ed for the privilege of attending a school of unquestioned superiority. We owe to them and to the University that is theirs and ours more than the gratitude of words. By their choice they have given us the means of broadening and enriching our lives to the fullest extent. THE PRESIDENT HONORARIUS Dr. John (wiIiIhtI Bowman Although each day in a Pitt student’s life was spent as a part of Dr. John G. Bowman's dream come true, few students in 1948 remembered the man whose faith raised the Cathedral of Learning. President Honorarius he is now, living in retirement at Water Brook Farm in Bedford County. From the farm, which he planned as a retreat from days crowded with activity in the embodying of ideals in stone and iron, come growing pines for the Commons Room at Christmas and hojjes always that the University continues to grow in the shadow of the 42-story Cathedral. A Gothic building he wanted, simple and un- adorned, but with each parallel line reaching upward toward the Heavens, forever elusive as a goal. A symbol of education he wanted in which there could be no ending. The building grew until, when he retired from active work in 1944 after 23 years at Pitt, the Cathedral of Learning had become a showplacc of a proud city. Dr. Bowman planned a building which a man. whatever his station in life, might look up to and say. My son shall In- a part of that.” And any man’s son who becomes a part of Pitt spends his collegiate years with a part of Dr. Bowman who lives quietly among rolling hills, trout streams, his pottery, and his l ooks. who lives now with the satisfaction of a dream fulfilled. 17 THE CHANCELLOR The Chancellor's Message to Seniors: YOU who ark graduating will join more than 40,000 other alumni who arc just as much a part of this University as students and faculty. Vou will be the University-then as really as you have been while you were students. You will use what you have learned here to be doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, homemakers, and many other kinds of citizens. Your work, whatever it may be, will be determined in large measure by what you are. Into the “what you are” goes something of all your University-experience: an inspiring teacher, a cup of coffee in the Puck Shop, a crackling fire in the Commons Room, classrooms that teach, enduring friendships, beauty-in Gothic arches, cherry blossoms on the lawn, a University prom, a Stephen Foster melody, a character which you have lived in a play, an anthem you sang in the Choir, Christmas carols with the scent of pine trees. Throughout your life these memories will always be a part of you. shaping your character, and getting somehow into the lives of your children and of all those with whom you associate. We want you to take from all of your experiences as students to your work as alumni the ability to think, values by which you will live, and courage to act. Above all, we hope that you in the great adventure of life will have the satisfaction of being your best self. R. H. Fitzgerald Chancellor Itufiis II.

THE SECRETARY 48$ I Dr. John Webster WITH TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND STUDENTS attending University of Pittsburgh courses during the 1947-48 school year, J. C.. Quick faced some of the hardest problems in his 32 years as Registrar. And in the minds of the thousands of students who filed through Syria Mosque registration in as little as thirty minutes, there was little doubt that the efficient Dr. Quick had gone far toward solving the problems of registration. Dr. Quick modestly credits much of the achievements to the new IBM machines that eliminate thousands of hours of hand recording on grade sheets and course cards. But it was largely the new pre-registration system, devised by Dr. Quick and put into effect in December, that so sharply reduced the time required for registration. Under the new system eleven thousand students received class schedule booklets and several registration forms early in December. Class cards for students enrolled in year-long courses were distributed by tlu ir instructors prior to Christmas vacation. Thus the need for advisory service and extensive writing at Syria Mosque was eliminated for most students. Despite the complex problems involved in registering the largest number of students ever to attend Pitt, Dr. Quick still finds time to make personal visits to high schools and maintain cordial relations between the schools and the University. Aiding Dr. Quick this year was assistant registrar, Endicott Batchelder, whose help has been invaluable in administering Pitt's new streamlined pre-registration system. Pitt Secretary, Dr. John Weber, is a man who has played a significant role in the growth of the University. After his graduation in 1910 Dr. Weber became an instructor in Mechanical Engineering and following his service as a captain in World War 1, Dr. Weber became head of the Mechanical Engineering Department. In 1926 Dr. Weber became business manager of the University. A member of the Board of Trustees, he has been Secretary of the University since 1936. As supervising engineer Dr. Weber played an important role in the construction of the Cathedral and the Heinz Chapel. One of Dr. Weber’s greatest accomplishments was his selection of the famous stained glass windows in the Chapel. To prepare himself for the task, he traveled in the United States and in Europe studying and examining this type of window. But Dr. Weber's interests are not confined to University affairs. He has been a member of the City Planning Committee and of the Board of Managers of the Juvenile Court. For the future Dr. Weber sees more adequate sports facilities, student dormitories, and a new science building. THE REGISTRAR Dr. J. Gilbert Quick 19 DEAN OF WOMEN Mi� Barbara Shirk; Miss Kutli Becker: Miss Betty Jane Wood: Mrs. Harriet Kohberger; Miss Helen Poole Rush; Miss Jean Robinson; Miss Helen Van Dyke: Mrs. Melrose Wcitzel. I HE welfare of the woman student as a person is the primary responsibility of the Dean of Women, Miss Helen Pool Rush. Aiding Miss Rush is an able staff of assistants and secretaries. Mrs. Harriet lids Pitt women in extra-curricular activities and offers aid to the various women’s organizations. Student housing and vocational guidance are in the care of Miss Jean Robinson. The Dean of Women’s office aids in administration of the Commons and Nationality Rooms through Miss Betty Woods. Miss Helen Van Dyke cooperates with Mr. Daufenbaugh and the University marshalls in the operation of the Information Room. The management of Heinz Chapel is the special charge of Mrs. Melrose Wcitzel. The Chancellor's Reception, Spring Coronation, the Women’s floor, the mentor program for freshman women, and the VADE MECl'M are projects of the Dean of Women’s office. Miss Rush and her staff help plan and carry out Dean’s Conference, a program to acquaint freshmen women with Pitt life. DEAN OF MEN I he year 1948 brought another increase in registration at Pitt and every increase in enrollment adds to the task of Pitt's Dean of Men, Theodore W. Biddle. Every man applying for admission to the University ed by Dean Biddle or one of his assistants. The new freshman is then given orientation in Pitt history and traditions. Assisting the Dean in the supervision of extra-curricular activities is Edwin J. McIntosh, whose special responsibilities include frater- nities and Men’s Council. William F. Saalbach advises Cap and Gown and Student Congress Activities. William E. McElwain supervises the student publications. The Pitt band is under the supervision of Robert R. Arthur. J. Edward Ricart helps iron out veterans’ problems. Charles H. Ebert assists prospective graduates in obtaining employment through the Placement Bureau. Dean Biddle, his assistants, and efficient secretarial staff spare no efforts to assist Pitt men in attaining a fully rounded college life. (.'. H. Ebert; E. J. McIntosh; Win. F. Saalbach; T. W.

McElwain. 20 FACULTY HALL OF FAME This year we are introducing a new feature in an effort to recall to the minds of graduates and alums some of the outstanding faculty personalities here at Pitt. Limited space and the staff's limited knowledge of faculty members have made impossible a complete representation. We believe, however, that those mentioned here have consistently displayed qualities which will assure them a place in the memories and hearts of their students. I)r. Hunt Takk a captivating aptness of expression, a gesture to match the phrase, a love of the beautiful and best in life, a tall, spare man and blend them into your memory of I)r. Percival Hunt. Professor at Large of English, Dr. Hunt has for many years been the spirit of English scholarship and appreciation at Pitt. Into his classes he weaves his philosophy of simplicity and integrity. For in literature that has charmed humanity since Chaucer and in sketches of student experience Dr. Hunt finds in the word and phrase the communication of feeling. To find this feeling in poetry, drama, and prose, students enter Dr. Hunt’s classes from every school in the University and from many of Pittsburgh’s varied ways of life. Life is what he teaches and the joy in the living. To have known this modest, contemplative professor is to have learned of the pleasure in expression; in enjoying the experience of another through reading and reliving a personal experience through writing. Twenty-five years of inspiration Dr. Hunt has given Pitt. After several years as head of the Department of English at the University of Iowa, he became the head of Pitt’s Department of English in 1922. Under his direction the department grew in stature until Pitt English students were recognized for their appreciative literary backgrounds and for their ability to write both factually and creatively. Besides writing several English texts Dr. Hunt has for many years contributed to writing magazines. A Phi Beta Kappa, he is also a member of the Modern Language Association, and the English Speaking Union. Dr. Hunt is a teacher, patient, helpful, and kind; there can be nothing more fine. The first week of school is usually the worst for ‘Bill’ Daufen-baugh. senior member of the Dean of Men’s staff. His headquarters on the first floor takes on the look of a bargain counter on the day after Christmas. “There are too many people in my fifth hour class”— “There's no one in 132 Cl and I have a class there”.—“Everybody except me is in the wrong room” -and “My class has disappeared.” are some of the comments heard as hundreds of stray freshmen, stray upperclassmen, and even an occasional stray professor, pour into the Information room for aid. Even the ‘dull’ middle part of the term holds problems aplenty for Mr. D. Local public school juveniles racing through the Commons room; complaints from innocent and irate citizens left in the wake of a Pitt victory march: and stench bombs from Carnegie Tech well-wishers are a few of the headaches that plague the Information office. Perhaps the most painful, but necessary, duty that falls upon Mr. Daufen-baugh is to locate and notify students and faculty members when death or emergency strikes their families or homes. In addition to these services to the students, Mr. Daufcnbaugh directs the staff of University marshals. Under ‘Bill’s’ supervision, the boys with badges roam the halls, enforce the no-smoking regulations, remove unauthorized posters, break up card games and otherwise help maintain the order and dignity of the cathedral. 21 Dr. Daiifcnbach I)r. Jnnc� He was here after the first world war, and he’s still here; in fact, Professor Montfort Jones has been teaching money and banking at Pitt for the past 33 years. Early this term, he almost disrupted his long term by sustaining an elongated dose of pneumonia. Students can still enjoy his classes though. The professor couldn’t stay ill in the face of that myriad of invitations to get well. Montfort Jones isn't too fond of fickle young women, it is rumored—probably because he’s on the inside of the money game and knows what trouble the “young things can cause in the financial world. There is one other personality trait which must have grown out of the professor’s knowledge of money: he loves farm life. With food prices streaking upward, Professor Jones has changed the old slogan to “How can you keep 'em AWAY from the farm. Just call him “pop. To everyone at Pitt that name denotes just one person— Theodore W. Finney, head of the music appreciation department. Being a department head is no sinecure. In Music apprcc. it means teaching several sections each day in addition to administrative chores. Even with that double burden. Pop Finney finds time for extra-curricular activities. Since his arrival here in 1936. he has handled, at one time or another, the band, orchestra, glee club, and the chapel choir, which he still directs. Sandwiched in among all this, he has composed five anthems based on the chapel windows. Spare time? Oh, yes, ns a hobby, Pop writes books about music. Members of the choir can tell you that lie’s one of those rarities, a real artist with deep sensitivity and an even temper. The richness of their singing is a tribute to his skill as a conductor. Dr. Finney WHEN A man WHO has FOUGHT in both World Wars, engaged in successful business ventures in a dozen states, and is currently the owner of a large wholesale concern, declares that he teaches because he likes to teach, it really sounds convincing. Such is the case with Dr. Theodore Parker, popular history professor who is best remembered for his virile philosophy of “Life is to live, kids, so let’s make the most of it.” A veteran of the Canadian and American expedi-tionary forces in 1917-18, Dr. Parker attended Pitt in 1920 and became a professor in 1934. Having served 34 months overseas as an executive officer and deputy historian of the Eighth air force in World War II. Dr. Parker returned in 1945 to his favorite job—teaching. Despite the swollen enrollment, accentuated by the popularity of this wide awake prof, Dr. and Mrs. Parker hold their traditional open house for students every semester at their Iowa street home. The freshman who first enters Dr. Isaacs’ Economics 3 class may be over-awed at the size of the room, the weight of the textbook, and the number of students, but any fears he may have for a boring three hours a week arc usually wiped out the first day. For in addition to being an authority on economic matters, author of a new advanced text. International Trade, and secretary of the department of Economics, Dr. Isaacs is endowed with a versatile sense of humor. His “lectures delivered in mock seriousness, on subjects such as the proper method of finagling a higher grade from an experienced professor or how to subtly insult the Registrar’s Office” send students into spasms of laughter. Capable of brightening the most academic topic with humorous anecdotes without losing the significance of the material covered, Dr. Isaacs makes his classes enjoyable as well as instructive. Dr. Isaacs Dr. Parker 22 This fishix' and writin’ associate professor of English hides out in his quarters in the Early American room when he isn’t teaching, advising, or telling about the big one that got away.” Mr. Peterson is a real Pitt citizen this year for he has just completed 21 years as a member of the faculty. Students appreciate Pete’s” pleasant sense ot humor and his non-indulgence in sarcasm. To this professor students are real people— not just people. The creative writing department is Mr. Peterson’s greatest contribution to the University. To aid in the development of this program, Pete” gathers the best student writings and publishes them in STUDENT WRIT NO another of his inovations. Mr. Peterson practices the same writing principles that he teaches to his students. His full length, idyllic, -VO LITE SO HAPPY, vividly portrays the delights of fishing. The air force and the Pitt band have shared most of Captain James I). Hunter’s time since he first came to Pitt as a freshman in 1938. Drum major and student director of the band, Jim Hunter still found time to complete four years of ROTC and accept a commission when he graduated in 1942. After service overseas with the Twelfth Air Force, Jim returned to Pitt in 1945 a first lieutenant and became an instructor in the military department. Now a captain, Jim Hunter is a familiar figure as the friendly adjutant of the military department and instructor in air ROTC and also as the joke-cracking drill master of the high stepping 150 piece Pitt band. When June comes bringing recess for some students and summer school for others. Jim Hunter leaves to help train the Pitt air ROTC cadets for the day when they don the shiny new gold bars. More than two decades of Pitt students have studied philosophy under tall red-haired Dr. Mont R. Gabbert. Dr. Gabbert landed on the University faculty in 1921 fresh from Graduate School of Chicago University. Since that time the big man with the quiet voice has s| ent his days calmly explaining philosophy and gently dispelling popular misconceptions and prejudices concerning his field. Philosophy, he will tell you, is the business of every thinking person. As head of the philosophy department, Dr. Gabbert is burdened with many administrative duties, but he can always find time to give individual help to his students. He also makes it his duty to help the new professor in his department become a part of Pitt. Outside school Dr. Gabbert devotes his leisure moments to music, the movies, and a family that furnishes many of his classroom illustrations. I r. GnlilH'rl Some STUDENTS may spend four years at college and meet very few people, but if there is any student at Pitt who doesn't know Dr. Ferguson, we’d like to meet him or her. John Maxwell Ferguson PhD, Jur. I)., professor of economics is the way the faculty directory lists him, but to the entire student body this colorful and beloved prof is just plain Fergie. Cigarette holder in hand, Fergie rarely misses a school event despite a heavy schedule of classes and research work for a new economics text. Fraternity and sorority houses are always open to him, and ancient is the piano that Fergie can’t coax a tune out of at the Greek affairs. Tap day, Scholars day, Spring Festival, all find the good doctor doing his bit to help students get the most of college life. A professor in learning but a student at heart is Pitt’s Doc Ferguson. 23 l)r.

The students are the heart of the University, the vital, life-giving pulse that makesofita breathing, functioning organism. Springing from all races and all backgrounds, we merged our worlds with the worlds of the University. From association with our classmates we learned tolerance, humility, and understanding. The lasting friendships we have found are ties that will bind us always to Pitt. SENIORS SENIOR QUEEN Corinne Nelan Each year Senior women choose one of their number who best combines character, personality, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and service to the University to serve as Senior Queen. This girl, who takes the robes of her office at the traditional Coronation ceremonies, knows that she has been honored over all other girls in her class. 30 ALMA MATER Mary Jane Mitchell Page Second in honor only to the Senior Queen is the Pitt woman named Alma Mater. In her too, the Senior women saw the strength of character they thought should be found in a woman graduate of the University. Alma Mater traditionally serves as chief attendant in the coronation ceremony. 31 SENIOR QUEEN NOMINEES Seated: Joanne Kelly; Cccilo Brudcr; Mary Jane Dunsmoor; Florence Copetas. Standing: Ruth Barton; Mary Jane Mitchell Page; Corinnc Nclan. To be nominated for Senior Queen is in itself an honor of which any Pitt woman can be proud. The seven coeds nominated this year are pictured above. .V2 ODK SENIOR AWARDEE William Veenis To a Pitt man, the ultimate in honors is the ODK award. Each year the outstanding man in the Senior Class is chosen by a committee of students, faculty members and alumni, and his name is inscribed, with those of previous ODK awardees, in the stone ODK walk between Heinz Chapel and the Cathedral. HHHHHHHKHHHHKH 33 THE COLLEGE I HROUGH THE COLLEGE CURRICULUM, and guided by Dean Stanton C. Crawford, the student is given an opportunity to study and thus achieve the highest level of learning, judgment and creative skill. As early of the Pittsburgh Academy, the school has lead students in their study of liberal arts and sciences. Later tin school took over the pre-professional students, allowing them to gain groundwork for their graduate work by a year’s study in the college. Campus activities, fraternities, and faculty conferences are all fitted into the College program with the assistance of Dean Crawford and his staff. The College is the largest of the undergraduate schools and for over a century and a half has directed University students in their study of the liberal arts and sciences. Dean Stanton I .

Panther, Managing Editor 4 Marion R. W'yner- Taylor AUdrrdke 52 THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Under the guidance of Dean Vincent Lanfear, the School of Business Administration kept its reputation of being one of the highest rated schools of Business Administration in the country. The school uses the Pittsburgh district as a great laboratory-in which the students can obtain a wealth of valuable practical knowledge. Also emphasized is the policy of close association between the University and business in the community. The Business Administration student is not only taught the basic curriculum, but also the problems which business faces and the changes which it undergoes. With other University schools, the School of Business Administration is expanding in order to offer the broad opportunities which the field holds, and it is the belief of tin- faculty that the school will train young men and women to understand the business world and so lead them to a successful career.

Holbrook this year was the stupendous problem of how to adequately accommodate an oversized class of engineering students. It was not an easy job to see that each student was properly placed and instructed, but Dean Holbrook, with many years of such ex-periencc behind him, was successful in doing just this. With the aid of a highly competent staff of instructors, the Dean was able to guide those I'niversity students under his supervision. The School of Engineering and Mines is not confined to any one type of engineering. Included in the School are the divisions of chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering, all of which were fillet! to a capacity this year. With an evergrowing staff of new teachers and with many new additions and improvements of buildings and equipment. the School of Engineering and Mines looks forward to even greater days. and mines l)r«n Elmer A. 11 l 71 Bruce A.

Having served the University for years, Dean Kuehn's present desire is to see the long dreamed of nursing homes become a reality. Grants and benefits are constantly being given to expand and hasten the construction of the building. Women in the Nursing School gain actual experience with patients in hospitals as a part of their daily study. This work, combined with a certain number of hours of study, completes their nursing education. Practical education in nursing science and nursing education is open to the student. Following this training nursing students may go on for degrees in specialized fields of nursing such as | ediatrics, obstetrics. and operating room technique. Now after only ten years of existence the Nursing School is one of the best in the country. Dean Itnlli Perkin Kueiin 84 CLASS OF 1948 Dorothy Arhisson Franklin Township . . .

In their “off campus college” the students work, experiment, and perfect their j knowledge of remedial solvents. They are people being equipped with the proper background for successful careers in the profession of pharmacy. In this building, there arc laboratories for practical training and first-hand research and a library of about 3,875 volumes which contain instructional material of special interest to pharmacists. Here too, the students have an association that brings them in contact with the problems of the pharmacist in the outside world. The American Pharmaceutical Association has a local student branch, directed entirely by students, which sponsors social affairs which relieve the burden of long hours of intensive studv and laboratorv work.

We pass through the doors of Soldiers and Sailors on Tap Day or Scholars day, go through the revolving doors of the Bellcfield Avenue entrance to see the huge, gold key erected on the lawn on the day of ODK tapping, or open the door to a classroom where one of these fraternal societies meets in secret session. Some of the honors represented here stand for scholastic attainment; others for outstanding work in activities; students who distinguish themselves in almost any phase of University life receive some form of recognition. Membership in these groups is not a matter of choice, but comes as an acknowledgement of work well done and as an incentive to further advance. MORTAR BOARD First Row: A. Montgomery; 1 . Heneghan; S.

MORTAR BOARD RECOGNIZKS SENIOR WOMEN FOR LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE Mortar Board, national senior honorary for women, searches out its members from under class honorary and scholastic fraternities and from each Pitt activity. The 1948 chapter members of Mortar Board were active in the senior mentor program, served as aids at graduation in January, and hostesses for Chancellor’s Reception, the Commons Room Teas, and as hostesses in the Nationality Rooms. Each member served individually in various Pitt activities—the Women’s Self-Government Association. on Senior Court, in the YWCA, in the Women’s Speech Association, and on University publications. Mortar Board, recognizing scholarship, honored those freshmen women having high scholastic attainments for their first semester with scrolls on Scholar’s Day. The freshmen woman having the highest quality point was awarded a key. In an effort to serve all Pitt women, Mortar Board mcmberscarricdout plans for the improvement of the Twelfth Floor in the University. February 28, members of Mortar Boards from 1909 to 1948 met in a grand reunion planned by the active chapter. A Leap Year theme was followed throughout the social program and the speeches at the reunion luncheon held in the Faculty Club. Plans were made at this active-alumnae meeting for a Pitt Mortar Board Alumnae group. To promote friendliness in a few hours of fun. Mortar Board members of Pitt and Tech held a joint social meeting at the Carnegie Union. Other events on the social calendar were holiday parties, guest speakers, and get-together breakfasts and luncheons. In all its activities, Mortar Board attempted to meet its high standards of belief in campus leadership, scholarship, and service. The faculty advisors chosen for the year were Miss Rush. Mrs. Batz, and Miss Irvine, who counseled the girls in all their activities. 'Phe officers for the year were as follows: President. Betty Shore; Vice-President, Sally Joy Oleon; Secretary, Pat Heneghan; Treasurer, Nancy Brumbaugh. 109 I) K HONORS UNIVKRSITY MEN WHO LEAD IN ACTIVITIES AND SERVICE Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership society lor men, recognizes outstanding leadership on college campuses. Members are tapped for their outstanding leadership as evidenced by their participation in student activities. These student activities are grouped into five major phases of college life: scholarship. athletics, social and religious activities, publications, and arts. Omicron Delta Kappa believes that participation in worthwhile campus activities outside the classroom aids in the development of social interests and a sense of responsibility. These, therefore, as well as intellectual development, are important goals in education. Membership is awarded twice each N ear, in December and May, to junior and senior men and to faculty and alumni on the basis of character, scholarship, distinguished attainments in college and community life, and consecration to a great purpose. Gamma chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa, third oldest chapter in the country, was founded at the University of Pittsburgh in 1914. Omicron Delta Kappa was founded originally at Washington and Lee University. Gamma chapter has originated Omicron Delta Kappa walk to perpetuate the names of the senior awardees. The senior awardee is selected through preferential balloting by male members of the senior class. In this manner the man is selected for the highest non-academic honor the I niversitvcan bestow. Each year the name of the senior awardee is cut into the stones of ODK walk where it will be a permanent testimony to his selection. The organiza forward to a continuation of its ideals.

Zak ALPHA BETA GAMMA PROJECTS CREATE INTEREST IN ELEMENTARY TEACHING Alpha Beta Gamma, the professional elementary education fraternity, was founded by a few girls in 1040 as a means of communication of ideas between students and faculty in the teaching field. From this small beginning Alpha Beta Gamma has grown to an organization which now has well over fifty members. During its life at Pitt, Alpha Beta Gamma has endeavored to create interest in the field of elementary education. The purposes of the organization are not wholly professional, however, for the girls believe that Alpha Beta Gamma offers them a chance for social life and activity as well. Throughout the year Alpha Beta Gamma held get-together teas. Various speakers from the teaching profession came to guide the girls in the discussions. At these teas those problems which concern tin- field of education were discussed and the girls carried away many suggestions which will prove of much help to the girls when they in turn take an active part in this profession. To spread cheer at Christmas time the girls packed boxes for the children in the Ward Home. This project which was started last year is the social service project for Alpha Beta Gamma. To further spread the Christmas spirit the girls served as aides at the popular Christmas party in the Commons Room for tin-children of the Pitt faculty members. Then in a more solemn vein the fraternity held their initiation for those members who had entered in the fall. A party was held immediately after this at which the new members became better acquainted with one another and with those members from the prececding year. Then as an appropriate ending for the year the annual banquet was held in May. At this time the girls became acquainted with the alums with whom they will work in the years to come. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Bette Frost; Vice-President, Marjorie Heinlein: Secretary, Joan James; Treasurer, Sherma Feldman. lit ALPHA EPSILON DELTA ENCOURAGES HIGH SCHOLARSHIP AMONG PRE-MEDS A i.piia Epsilon Delta, incorporating in 1 its name the motto “Truth I Pursue,” is the national honorary fraternity for pre-medical students. The object of the fra-m ternitv is to encourage excellence in premedical scholarship, to promote the general welfare of the members by advocating the following of the highest ideals in obtaining their goal and to bind together similarly interested students. The University of Pittsburgh branch of Alpha Epsilon Delta is known as the Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter. It had its origin in 1922 as the Chiron Club, men’s honorary pre-medical fraternity. In January 1930, the name of the organization was changed to Chi Rho Nu. Being inactive during the war, Chi Rho Xu was reorganized in March 1947 and was opened to all pre-medical students who have attained at least a 2.0 average in their combined courses, and a 2.0 average in the sciences. In January 1948 Chi Rho Xu was granted a charter by Alpha Epsilon Delta, the national honorary pre-medical fraternity, and became the organization's Pennsylvania Gamma chapter. This chapter, numbering some one hundred students, is one of the strongest groups of the organizations. Membership in Alpha Epsilon Delta is a recognition of superior scholastic achievement of a premedical student and it affords him an opportunity to develop a well-rounded personality and qualities of initiative, leadership, and self-education by participating in the activities of his chapter and the fraternity. To provide this opportunity, the Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter holds two meetingsa month. Chapter activities in the past have included meetings where subjects of interest to pre-medical students were discussed by faculty members and physicians from the neighboring hospitals. The officers for the year were as follows: President, A. Rovnanck; Vice-President, Rawden Rambo; Secretary, Ruth Raupp; Corresponding Secretary, Don Gobel: Treasurer, Robert Hepner. ALPHA KAPPA PS I LEADS SCIENTIFIC STUDY IN COMMERCE AND FINANCE Alpha Kappa Psi. the first commerce fraternity, was founded at Pitt in 1910 by James L. Cox, Charles C. Sheppard, Arthur L. Brockway, Henry H. Martin-dale, Frank H. Eckles, and Charles D. Wcttach. The aims of Alpha Kappa Psi are “to further the individual welfare of its members; to foster scientific research in the fields of commerce, accounts, and finance; to educate the public to appreciate and demand higher ideals therein; and to promote and advance in institutions of college rank, courses leading to degrees in business administration. Each chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi is required to conduct a definite program of professional activity each year. Such activity includes prominent speakers on economic, business, and educational subjects, tours of the important industrial plants in Pittsburgh, promotion of special commerce school events, forums on career planning and job finding techniques, occupational conferences, research projects, service to the school, and discussions and debates on political and business subjects of current interest to the members of Alpha Kappa Psi. In addition to these activities, the conduct of a reasonable number of social and fraternal activities is encouraged. Dances, picnics, smokers, dinners, and joint meetings with alumni members are among those featured by the Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi. Through the medium of its various alumni groups and members located throughout the country, Alpha Kappa Psi offers a permanent professional association with a selected group of college trained men, many of whom have attained unusual business success. Such associations in Alpha Kappa Psi are of real value in a professional, as well as social, sense. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Michael M. Schurko; Vice-President, Leo R. Griffin; Secretary, Donald L. Biers, Treasurer, Judd R. Jenkins. 112 ALPHA EPSILON DELTA First Row: !.. Winkler; ('. Cook: E. Barchfeld: A. Rovnanck; Pres., K. Raunp; E. Captain; II. Rosenblatt: E.

StiizinRcr: R. Halen. ALPHA OMEGA ALPHA ENCOURAGES THE SPIRIT OF MEDICAL RESEARCH Following the teachings of Hip; ocrates, Pcrcival, and others, the medical profession has always encouraged high standards among its members. In order to promote similar high ideals of thought and action in students of Medicine, Alpha Omega Alpha was founded in 1902 at the University of Illinois, College of Medicine, by William W. Root. Alpha Omega Alpha is a non-secret Medical College Honor Society, membership to which is based entirely upon scholarship, moral qualification being satisfactory. Election to this Society is not only a recognition of accomplishment as a student, but also an insignia of both promise and expectancy of leadership in some phase of medicine after graduation. Alpha Omega Alpha is the only order of its kind in medical schools on this continent. It is not a social organization. Its definite mission is to encourage personal honesty and the spirit of medical research. At the present time, Alpha Omega Alpha has active chapters in all of the leading medical schools of this nation. The chapter at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Gamma of Pennsylvania, was chartered by invitation in 1916. The activity of the Gamma chapter is primarily centered about semiannual dinner meetings at which the newly elected members are honored by the active members, the alumni members, and also the faculty members. The purposes of the fraternity, in keeping with its ideals, are the promotion of high educational standards and research in medical schools, the encouragement of a fine standard of character, and the recognition of outstanding scholastic achievement.

CWENS TAPS PROMISING LEADERS FROM AMONG ACTIVE FRESHMAN WOMEN Io Cwens, Tap Day symbolizes the l egin-ning of many happy experiences. On this day the freshmen women who showed friendly cooperation in their customs, mentor, and guild programs; participated other freshmen activities; and attained at least a 2.0 average, are tapped to Cwens. As members of this group they strive for leadership, scholarship, and fellowship among the sophomore women. This year the CNvens main project was to serve as aides to the guild advisors of the Freshmen Guild Program. This was in keeping with the Cwens’ desire to make friends with the freshmen women, to orient them in the ideals and customs of Pitt women, and to encourage their participation in activities. Cwens also put out theCwen I )irectorv containing the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the women students. Serving as ushers at Heinz Chapel and as student hostesses for university functions were other duties of Cwens. However, the Cwens also mixed many good social events in with their work. Their social calendar got off to a successful start with a summer picnic in Schenley Park. Other events on the lighter side included a bowling party, a Rustic Rumpus party, a Christmas party, a Mot her-Daughter Luncheon, and a Farewell party. The frequent meetings on the twelfth floor afforded the Cwens another opportunity to get better acquainted with one another. Thus each Cwcn experienced a year of service to others and herself. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Flora Diemert; Vice-President. Ruth Tindcll; Secretary. Shirley Anstandig ;Treasurer, Martha Duffy. 115 DELTA DELTA LAMBDA AFFAIRS W ERE SOCIAL, CULTURAL, EDUCATIONAL Delta Delta Lambda, honorary commercial education fraternity, named for Dr. Daniel I). Lcsscnberry, had as its aim this year the honoring and encouraging of active scholarship in the field of commercial education. This aim, therefore, guided Delta Delta Lambda during this year both socially and culturally. Delta Delta Lambda had its beginning as an honorary commercial education fraternity in November of 1934. The junior and senior students in the department of commercial education recognized the need, because of the increased growth of the commercial education department at the University of Pittsburgh, for an organization which would bring them closer together and further the principles for which they stood. Delta Delta Lambda fraternity carried out this purpose during the year by serving all the commercial students, but especially those on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh, by providing a medium through which the social-business problems could Ik discussed. This was accomplished by introduc- ing outstanding leaders in the field of commercial education and by fostering a social spirit among the members of Delta Delta Lambda. By meeting and talking to the leaders of each field in commercial education, students learned what is to In- gained from University courses and activities corresponding with these fields. During the first semester Delta Delta Lambda held a Get Acquainted” party to give pre-commercial and commercial students the opportunity to meet the members of the University of Pittsburgh’s commercial Education faculty. These informal meetings between faculty and student members create a friendly atmosphere between the two groups and help all concerned to better understand each other and their mutual interests and problems. Another event of interest was the annual rushing tea held in December. Later in the spring the members got together at the initiation banquet. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Paul R. Leary; Vice-President. Dorothy Perlis; Secretary, Lila Terry; Treasurer. Phyllis Fields. DELTA DELTA LAMBDA First Row: I .

RKCCXiM .iNG that tin- Electrical Engineering Department of the School of Engineering was returning to its own with new strength following the war. the faculty, including Professors H. E. Dyche, R. C. Gorham, and P. E. Rush assisted by instructors ('� . H. Didinger and R. L. Lucas, reactivated the honorary electrical engineering fraternity. Eta Kappa Xu. This association had been quite prominent in campus activities before the war. but with the wartime reduction in the engineering student body it was felt by the advisor. Professor Philip E. Rush, that the organization should be inactive. Membership in Eta Kappa Nu is reserved to those men who have demonstrated that they have marked ability as evidenced by scholarship and individual attainments and who possess qualities which indicate they will be leaders in their chosen profession. While the qualifications for members distinctly stimulate and reward high scholarship. Eta Kappa Xu has a far broader purpose than merely to award a badge of distinction. As conceived by founders and as carried forward by its membership, its aim is to assist the members throughout their lives in becoming better men in their chosen profession. There is also another purpose of the organization, that is, that its membership Ik- a constructive force helping fellow members and nonmembers alike in improving the standards of the profession, the course of instruction, and theinstitutionswith which thechapterisassociated. The official reactivation came with the election of officers following the initiation banquet. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Ralph W.

KAPPA PHI KAPPA ENCOURAGES MEN TO ENTER THE FIEEI) OF EDUCATION Kappa Phi Kappa is a professional education fraternity, the purpose of which is to promote tlie cause of education by encouraging men of strong moral character and recognized ability to engage in the study of its principles and problems. For the furtherance of the above pur-|K se the fraternity emphasizes among its members social intercourse, scholarly attainments and professional ideals. The Kappa Phi Kappa fraternity is lx th a professional and an honorary fraternity, professional in that all of its members are men in the field of education, honorary because it accepts only those with a high scholastic standing. The national fraternity was formed in 1922, and since that time the organization has attempted to coordinate the interests and activities of men in education to benefit both themselves and the University. For its members the goal of Tau chapter has been to create the desire for social contact, scholastic achievement, professional attainment. For the University, Kappa Phi Kappa has planned and effected projects to foster and improve educational activities. The present campus membership of thirty-one, one of the largest in the history of the local chapter, is working with Mr. Hoffman of the School of Education on a program of orientation for students doing pre-educa-tional work at the University. This and other projects are planned and discussed at the regular monthly meetings of the fraternity. Discussions are also the key-note of the biannual smoker to which potential new members are invited for final selection by the fraternity. The Pitt chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa keeps in personal contact with the national organization by sending representatives to thcannual General Assembly. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Paul R. Leary; Vice-President, Edward J. Welsh; Secretary, Edward A. Latagliata; Treasurer, Robert V. Gabriel. 118 KAPPA KAPPA PSI BOASTS MEMBERSHIP OF CRACK I MVERSITY BANDSMEN a i.pha Onif.ga Chapter of Kappa Kappa I Psi, National Band fraternity, wasestab- lished on campus in January 1948. Kappa Kappa Psi is a national honorary J band fraternity for college bandsmen and represents the finest college bands in the country. The University of Pittsburgh Band became interested in Kappa Kappa Psi largely through the Ohio State Band members during the visit of the University of Pittsburgh Band to Ohio in 1946. Consequently, in December 1946 the plans were made to petition the National Headquarters at Stillwater, Oklahoma for admittance into membership. Twenty-four men from the Band Association who expressed interest in the fraternity formed a petitioning group which included the officers of the Band Association. A petition committee was appointed in January 1947. the membersof which were William W. Foccr, Petition Editor; Elmer M.Trautman,Assistant Petition Editor;and RobertG. Anderson, the Secretary of the Band Association, who maintained the correspondence with the National Headquarters. By the spring of 1947, the first draft of the petition was submitted to the Men’s Fraternity Council for approval. Their investigation was complete by June and the Petition then went to the printer for final assembly. The activities of the petitioning group were revived in the fall of 1947 and the finished petition was submitted to the National Headquarters. In January of 1948 the petitioning group was initiated into membership of Kappa Kappa Psi. Thus, the youngest honorary fraternity on campus is leaping ahead to further the interest of Kappa Kappa Psi and make the University of Pittsburgh Marching Band the best band the University has ever known. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Calvin C. Williams; Vice-President. James A. Scanned; Secretary, Robert G. Anderson; Treasurer, Norbcrt Shanblatt. First Row: V. Farrell: V.

NU SIGMA SIGMA PRESENTS I.KADI NG SPEAKERS IN FIELDS OF SCIENCE Nu Sigma Sigma, honorary natural science society, continued this year the new policy which they bewail in January, 1947, of opening their meetings to tin-general student body and faculty. To become a member students must have a 2.0 in natural sciences and a 1.7 average in all fields. In addition to this quality point average the student must have an interest and ability in natural sciences. Previously the meetings of Xu Sigma Sigma were closed to the public, but now as their service to the University these meetings are open to the students and faculty members. At these meetings once a month a speaker from different fields in natural science s|K-aks on the problems of current interest in the natural science. The first program was held in October with Dr. E. R. Weidlein, director of Mellon Institute. as speaker. Dr. Weidlein, past president of the American Chemical Society, sjxike with authority on the field of research. Robert Levine, a member of the organic chemistry staff at Pitt, spoke next on a field in which he is doing active research—that of plastics and resins. Psychology was the subject of the lecture given by Dr. Robert Patton of the psychology staff here at Pitt. Dr. Kenneth Wert man, well-known both in civilian and army research, s| oke on research in public health. Mr. M. Graham Netting, a member of the research staff at Carnegie Museum, spoke later in the semester on zoology. Anti-malarial drugs were discussed by Dr. Robert S. Tipson, a senior research fellow in pure chemistry and a national authority in the field of anti-malarial drugs. At the initiation banquet in the spring Dr. Peter Gray, chairman of the department of biology at the University, spoke on the origin of man. There was, therefore, a year of well-rounded natural science lectures. The purpose of these programs, to stimulate and widen the interests of those students interested in the natural sciences, was accomplished. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Elizabeth Hall; Vice-President, Louis Baroff; Secretary, Mary Cavasina; Treasurer, Eugene Hensler. 121 PIN cm THETA PROMOTES HIGHER BUSINESS EDUCATION FOR AM. WOMEN Phi Chi Theta, national professional fraternity for women in business administration, promotes the cause of higher business education and training for all women, fosters high ideals for women in business careers, and encourages fraternity and cooperation among women preparing for such careers. Scholarship is of primary interest. The Phi Chi Theta key is awarded annually to the outstanding woman in business administration on the basis of scholarship, character, and activities. Two business scholarships are awarded each year to a day school and an evening school junior or senior woman who have attained high scholastic standing and who take an active interest in campus activities. Activities are both social and professional, including monthly business meetings, forums, parties, banquets, and teas. The social calendar for this year included covered dish suppers, a benefit bridge and dinner, and “Get Acquainted” parties for all women in business administration. The fraternity extended invitations to outstanding speakers who came and discussed their particular field. One of the most prominent was Judge Lois McBride, who spoke at the initiation banquet in Octolx-r. Each year the various chapters of Phi Chi Theta center their aims and purposes around one theme. This year, Epsilon chapter centered its activities around three fields of endeavor which were represented by the rivers of Pittsburgh. Epsilon's Rivers of Knowledge were Appreciation of Fine Arts represented by the Allegheny River, Mastery of Social Graces represented by the Monongahela River, and Opportunities in Business represented by the Ohio River. Under these headings were subdivisions of personality, etiquette for campus and business, and color in fashions and in the home. In this way, Epsilon promoted its aims and interests.

There are now fifty-seven chapters representing the leading universities in the country. Though organized nationally in 1923, Phi Eta Sigma was not brought to our campus until 1937 when Dr. Vincent Lanfear, then Dean of Men, seeing the need of fostering a high degree of scholarship among freshmen, organized the University of Pittsburgh chapter. In spite of the rigid standard of scholarship required of pledges, the chapter has grown to nearly two hundred active members with the support of Dean of Men Theodore Y. Biddle. Phi Eta Sigma are missionaries of scholarship,” aiding and inspiring others, but seeking no selfish ends. Their activities, therefore, are designed with those purposes in view. A small manual, How to Study”,is distributed free to freshmen, and in many instances it can be found still being used to advantage by seniors. During the 1947 spring semester seventy-five freshmen who were in imminent danger of failing the June finals were given free coaching by Phi Eta Sigma members with the result that only two of the seventy-five failed. The fall and winter semester found forty-seven Phi Eta Sigma members giving free tutoring to nearly two hundred freshmen. Phi Eta Sigma will also cosponsor studies by the department of psychology on Best Methods of Study. Finally, the fraternity supports the memorial fund established in honor of its founder, Thomas Arkle Clark, the income from which is used to grant one or more scholarships of three hundred dollars annually for graduate work. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Winston R. Ames; Vice-President, Edward Blanchard; Co-secretary-trcasurer, Stanley Ratner; Co-secretary-treasurer.

PI TAU PHI HONORS COLLKGK il NIORS WITH HIGH SCHOLASTIC STANDING Lcx al honorary scholastic fraternity, Pi Tau Phi, honors students in the College who have reached the junior year or its equivalent with outstanding records. The organization invites to membership second semester juniors e attained a quality point average of 2.5 or better. The fraternity has a long history at the University. Founded on campus in 1925 it was, from tin-beginning, designed to honor only those students whose intellectual achievements had placed them first in their class. For some years those from all the schools of the University were tap| c l to membership, but since 1952 only students in the College have been accepted. This makes it possible to form a more homogeneous group and one where there is a chance for real fellowship among the members. Pi Tau Phi owes much to the late Dr. James Stinchcomb for his unselfish aid and guidance in the early years of the fraternity's existence. Like many organizations. Pi Tau Phi was inactive during the war, but returned to the campus last year. The program for this year included speakers as well as frequent social gatherings. Through its regular monthly meetings, the organization provides a means of social fellowship and opportunity for exchange of ideas. Pi Tau Phi tries to spread the aims of scholarship, culture, and idealism, to stimulate serious thought, and to establish high intellectual standards. The ultimate purpose of Pi Tau Phi can perhaps best be explained by the following excerpt from the preamble to its constitution: Believing that scholarship, culture, and idealism are the chief aim of university life, we the members of Pi Tau Phi fraternity do hereby band together to conserve and spread those aims; to provide a means of social fellowship and interchange of ideas among the students, the honor graduates, and interested faculty members of the College of the University of Pittsburgh; always avoiding snobbishness or pedantry, but always striving by all sound methods to stimulate serious thought and true intellectual standards”. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Lucy Braider; Vice-President, I-eroy Sachs; Secretary, Marilyn Lipp; Treasurer, James Winn. 124 PI TAU SIGMA First Four: R. Jackson: A.

PI TAU SIGMA IS WELL ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESSFUL REORGANIZATION Di Tau Sigxia, honorary Mechanical Engineering fraternity, was organized in 1915 by a group of upperclassmen in the Mechanical Engineering School at the University of Illinois. The aims of this honorary fraternity for mechanical engineers are to stimulate interest in departmental activities, and to promote the mutual professional welfare of its members. Members are selected on the basis of their scholastic standing, faculty rating, and the opinions of the active members. The Tau chapter at the University of Pittsburgh was formally installed on April 22. 1940 through the efforts of Professor J. A. Dent and a group of active juniors and seniors. Professor F. H. Stiening was initiated as an honorary member along with twenty-four active members. During the war. Pi Tau Sigma was inactive, but in the fall of 1946 the honorary group was reactivated with the installation of thirteen new members. At the present time there are twenty-one active members. The fraternity requires a scholastic standard of a 2.0 average to become eligible for membership in the organization. Previously a quality point average of 1.8 was needed to be eligible for membership. The standards were raised to make it an honorary fraternity as well as a professional fraternity. Only juniors and seniors in the department of mechanical engineering are considered eligible for membership. In the past the fraternity has given a prize to the outstanding sophomore in the mechanical engineering school. Since Pi Tau Sigma has reorganized on campus, this prize has not been given, but the members hope to continue this practice in the near future. The Tau chapter intends to have at least one social function during each semester. Meetings are held once every two weeks, then activities are planned and social functions arc discussed. Pi Tau Sigma is well on the way to successful reorganization. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Alan B. Alter; Vice-President, Truman O. Andrews; Recording Secretary, E. Duane Stuart; Treasurer, Robert Y. Jackson; Historian, Albert N. Winter; Faculty advisor, William Rodoy. 125 QUAX First Row: L. Braider; E. Worcester; V. Tarasi, Pres.; L. Klein: B. J. Andrews.

The purpose of Quax is to inspire and develop interest in science among its members. Members arc chosen from upperclass women with a sincere interest in science who have attained not only a high scholastic standing in their major subject but who also have attained a high scholastic average in all of their studies. This year Quax sponsored a series of lectures in all fields of science as their service to the women science students of the University. The calendar for the year included social events as well as educational meetings. Dr. Russell from Pitt’s own department of psychology spoke on psychology at one of the first Quax meetings of the school year. Next in the series of lectures was a lecture on biology given by Mr. Cribbcns. Then I)r. Mary C. Warga, associate professor of physics at Pitt, discussed the field of physics. On the social side the annual tea was held at Stephen Foster Memorial. During this tea the active members became acquainted with women students majoring in all fields of science; biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and psychology. To this meeting in the social room of Stephen Foster the alumnae members of Quax were also invited. At the annual social meeting Dr. Mary E. Warga, Quax advisor, showed colored slides of her recent tour of France and England. Following this meeting the Heinz Chapel Choir gave a program of sacred and secular music. The meml crs of Quax also had a chance to test their athletic ability at a bowling party, one of their first social events. A picnic was one of the more important Quax social events in the Spring. Final activity for the year was the annual initiation banquet in the spring for all of the members and the new tappees. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Vilma Tarasi; Vice-President, Jean Irwin; Secretary, Mary Jane Walko; Treasurer, Ann Stitt. QUO VADIS WORKS TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE OF PITT NATIONALITY ROOMS Quo Vadis is an honorary organization at the University of Pittsburgh composed of Nationality Room Hostesses. The purpose underlying all the principles and activities of this group is threefold: to create public-opinion and student participation sympathetic with the ideals symbolized in the Nationality Rooms at the University; to instill an understanding of the interdependency of nationalities of the world. The Nationality Rooms are an important part of Pitt, not only in beauty alone, but also in what they represent. They are gifts to the University from various countries. Committees which are made up of men and women who have come from the specific countries represented have worked diligently and industriously so that we may learn something about the culture of the country and learn more about the people who are living in the country represented. Each year on Tap Day, Quo Vadis taps to membership those girls judged deserving. At the time of their entrance into Quo Vadis, they are to Ik carrying no less than twelve credits on campus. They must have served a total of twenty-seven hours or more of active duty as a Student Hostess, four hours of which shall have been completed during special occasions. This special duty consists of acting as a Nationality Room Hostess at such events as'thc Chancellor’s Reception for parents of freshmen, a commencement ceremony, or a special convention of visitors to the Nationality Rooms. Among such visitors this year were the Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers; Lord Inverchapel, the British ambassador; Vambcry, Hungary's foreign minister, and the wives of members of the Kiwanis Club. The Quo Vadis symbol is that of the iris. The pin is a gold Cathedral of Learning surrounded by a blue and gold world. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Betty Pick hoi tz;Vice-President. Betty Flanagan: Secretary, Marie Adele Reagan; Treasurer. Arline Rawlings; Faculty Advisor, Miss Elizabeth Jane Wood. 127 SIGMA GAMMA EPSILON First Row: C.

TO ADVANCE T1IE EARTH SCIENCES IS THE AIM OF SIGMA GAMMA EPSILON Thk purpose of the Sigma Gamma Epsilon fraternity is the scientific, scholastic, and social advancement of its members, and the extension of the relations of friendship and assistance between the universities and scientific schools with recognized standings in the United States and Canada, and the upbuilding of a national college society devoted to the advancement of the Earth Sciences. Sigma Gamma Epsilon, a national professional honorary fraternity, is represented at twenty-eight schools throughout the United States. The chapter at the University of Pittsburgh and the chapter at the University of Kansas are the two oldest chapters in the national Sigma Gamma Epsilon fraternity. Today at Pitt the Beta chapter has an active membership of thirty-four with its alumni members numbering into the hundreds. Inactivcduring the war, the Beta chapter was reactivated in the fall of 1945. The spring and fall semesters have found the fraternity the most active in its history here. Sigma Gamma Epsilon held its national convention in October 1947 at St. Louis. Missouri. The Pitt chapter sent as its delegate the chapter’s president, Frederick V. Hassett. Fred returned from the convention with a report showing that the fraternity was looking forward to a more active and progressive future. This progressive, wideawake attitude was reflected in the activities of the many Sigma Gamma Epsilon fraternity chapters. These activities included initiation banquets, picnics, smokers, and dances on the social side. This wide social program was secondary, however, to the more important educational side. Talks by men of industry and education, movies, and inspection trips appealed to the more intellectual nature of the members. These activities have helped to make the Beta chapter one of the best in the national organization. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Frederick V. Hassett; Vice-President, Paul Land; Secretary, Jack Mason; Corresponding Secretary, William Crawford. 128 SIGMA KAPPA PHI First Rote: J. Wiahart; L. Pfaub; E. Barth; M. Schimmcl; E. Majerus; Mrs. B.

SIGMA KAPPA PIN IMTES LANGUAGE MAJORS IN THEIR COMMON INTERESTS Sigma Kappa Phi, national honorary foreign language fraternity, provides a mutual bond of language interest for its members and has as its motto, “Scholarship, knowledge and fellowship”. Its chief aspirations are to pro-high standard of scholarship among students of foreign languages, to study the languages, history, geography, literature, and customs of foreign lands, and to create a spirit of unity and cooperation among students who are vitally interested in other languages. Sigma Kappa Phi also stresses recognition of outstanding ability and attainment in the foreign languages and the stimulation of advanced work and individual research in the language field. Chief prerequisites for membership in Sigma Kappa Phi are the completion of course nine in French, Spanish, or German, or of comparable courses in Greek or Latin, plus a general average of 2.0 and not less than 2.2 in the language in which the student is qualified. Participation in fraternity activities docs not cease upon graduation, for after initiation students become active for life, remaining in the group as alumni members. Sigma Kappa Phi, national honorary foreign language fraternity, received its charter in 1921. Since then its history at Pitt has been marked by such annual events as the giving of keys on Tap Day to outstanding foreign language students and the tapping of members on Scholar's Day. Beside these, the fraternity has sponsored public language programs and parties planned according to the customs of other countries. In the monthly meetings this year, Sigma Kappa Phi’s general objective has been developed through varied program material, centered not only on the languages and related topics of foreign countries, but also on the important role of language in the world of today. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Ruth Tomasik; Vice-President, William Grant; Secretary-treasurer, Natalie Young; Corresponding Secretary, Janet Ncesham; Alumni-sccretary, Patricia Brown. 129 SIGMA TAU RECOGNIZES AM) FOSTERS ACIIIEVMENT AMONG THE ENGINEERS When Dean E. A. Holbrook came to the University in 1927, there was a local engineering honorary by the name of Alpha Omicron. In May 1930,at a dinner and ceremony in the old Faculty Club. Alpha Omicron became a part of the national engineering society of Sigma Tau. That was the beginning. The chapter prospered and grew until today active membership consists of over one-hundred juniors and seniors in the School of Engineering and Mines. On engineering hill, Sigma Tau numbers among its alumni Dean Holbrook and over one-third of the engineering faculty. Qualifications for men who have attained the status of juniors are on the basis of scholarship, practicality, and sociability—the qualities which seem to indicate promise of future professional success. Sigma Tau. sometimes referred to as the Phi Beta Kappa of engineering, began this year with a long range program designed to best carry out the ideals of its founders: to recognize the achievements of engineering students, promote the interests of the engineering school, and encourage fellowship among congenial colleagues. Among the year's activities were a hard-times dance at South Park and a get-acquainted smoker for pledges. The University Club was the scene of the initiation and banquet in January when thirty pledges were initiated. At this time honorary membership was conferred upon Dr. J.A. Allen, W'estinghouse Graduate Professor of Engineering. To encourage freshmen, Sigma Tau presents each year two medals to the top scholastic freshmen. The officers for the year were as follows: President. John G. Koenig; Vice-President, Frank M. Beatty; Secretary, Lawrence Podrasky; Treasurer, Frank Ziemkiewicz; Historian.Saul Chosky; Chapter Advisor, Professor P. E. Rush. SIGMA TAU First Row: U. Haugh; S. Slovonsky: M. Oxenreiier: J.

DO SIGMA TIIKTA TAl ENCOURAGES CREATIVE WORK l THE NURSING FIELD Sigma Theta Tau is the only scholarship society of nursing. The purposes of this organization are to foster high professional standards; encourage creative work in nursing; to promote the maximum development of the nurse and thus increase her capacity to serve Iter profession and. through it. society; to promote the spirit of fellowship among members of the profession of nursing: to develop an abiding interest in the advancement of nursing, and to promote continuous participation as responsible members of the profession. The organization is comparatively young, having been established at the University of Indiana School for Nurses in 1922. Eta Chapter, University of Pittsburgh, was organized on June 3, 1946. The National President is Miss Frances George, a member of our own faculty. To be eligible for membership, a basic professional student must have completed one half of the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Xursing. In addition these students must lx in the top one-third of their class, shall have demonstrated qualities of leadership and a capacity for professional growth and shall possess desirable personal qualifications. Graduate students who have completed one half of the program leading to the Masters or Doctors degrees with a major in Nursing Education may also be eligible for consideration to membership. The General Chapter has provided that persons who have gained wide recognition for original research or administration in nursing, or persons who have gained unusual distinction in any field contributing to human welfare may be recommended to General Council for honorary membership. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Virginia Braley; Vice-President, Kathryn Patterson ; Secretary, Elaine Tyrie: Treasurer, Roma Kossler; Archivist, Margery Avery.

Qualification for nomination for membership is that the candidate be a member of Pitt Players and that he demonstrate sustained talent, ability, and initiative in tin accomplishment of his duties. Paralleling Hollywood’s and Broadway’s presentations of their famous Oscar and Drama Critics’ Awards, Theatron, also, offers its own awards. A vital portion of the program of the society is the presentation, at the end of each school year, of the Theatron Award. Recipients are two students who need not necessarily be members of the group but who have done outstanding work in their respective fields during the current school year. One award is given to the finest student-actor; another award is given to the student whose accomplishments in the technical aspect of the theatre have been most notable. The Acting Awardee is chosen by a board of five judges who are members of the faculty and are selected at the beginning of each school year by Theatron members. Members of Theatron act as their own judges for the choice of the Technical Awardee because they have many more opportunities to observe and record the work which is achieved backstage than would the faculty critics. In addition to the two highest awards, books and plaques are presented to other deserving persons for their exemplary work. Using as their symbol the traditional Greek Mask of tragedy, members of Theatron hope to stimulate and perpetuate an appreciation of good theitre within their own ranks, as well as among the entire student body of the University. It was for this end that the members worked throughout the year. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Richard A.

We enter the doors of the “Y” offices, stand in awe at the hubbub of voices and clattering of typewriters as we step into the newly-finished Pitt News office, and thrill at the voices of the Heinz Chapel Choir descending in an elevator shaft. Through the glass panels of the door to the Braun Room, we see Student Congress in session. The talents. abilities, and interests brought to Pitt by its students have a place in at least one of the many student organizations. Democracy characterizes these groups. Every individual is afforded the equal opportunity to progress and grow through work and service; and in.turn make his University grow also. STUDENT CONGRESS THE STUDENTS' GOVERNING BODY WINS T1IE APPLAUSE OF SCHOOL o student CONGRESS falls the dual responsibility of planning the extra-curricular life at Pitt and regulating the relations between the individual student, his fellow students, and the University. In ad- lit ion to these functions as planner and regulator, this fourteen man undergraduate legislative hotly must [K-rform the always monotonous and usually thankless tasks of administrator and executive. In one or more of its phases Congress continually touches the college life of each student, from the time of his admission to the day of his graduation. Working quietly through President George Lynn or its commit tees, the Congress obtains for the student the extra trimmings which raise college life above the level of mere classroom learning. Of Congress’s many committees perhaps the Ixrst known is the Social Committee, headed by Bob Dickey. No dance or social function can be held at the University without this committee’s sanction.

Clark. 145 serves as traffic manager and legislator, allotting space on the social calendar and sponsoring dances of its own; it reviews all petitions from campus organizations seeking permission to conduct social affairs; it passes and enforces the code of social regulations. During the past year the committee sponsored such notably successful affairs as the Soph Hop, the Junior Prom, the Freshman Dance and a series of afternoon tea dances. Bob Ingrini and his Assemblies Committee fill a spot comparable to that of the Social Committee. In-grim and his assistants plan and sponsor all I'nivcr-sity-wide gatherings. These may take the form of pep rallies (there were four such rallies this year) or lectures. The lectures bring to the University speakers of national reknown such as E. Stanley Jones, who spoke on world-wide religion, Hal Lchrman, and Kernit Roosevelt, an authority on the Middle East, who appeared here this year. Possibly the least-known of the Congress committees is the Appointments Committee of which Janet Ncesham is chairman. This body must sift through student applications, interview candidates, and finally appoint the men and women who fill the myriad jxists of responsibility for school dances and for such occasions as Spring Festival and Scholar's Day. On the degree of wisdom and insight with which they carry out their job depends, in a large measure, the success or failure of student functions. The work of these committees constitutes the year after year routine tasks that each new Student Congress must tackle. But this year’s Congress, led by President Lynn, refused to content itself with merely doing the ordinary. It sought out and grappled with some vexing problems which have faced the Uni- versity for some time. Most notable example of Congress's offensive tactics was the athletic prolie. The crushing 69-0 defeat at Michigan, which brought Pitt to the nadir of its 10 year athletic decline, caused Congress members to demand a full investigation into the University's athletic policy—a demand that became a reality when a committee composed of three undergraduates and three alumni members was appointed to study the athletic situation and recommend changes in policy. Congress grasped another nettle in the Henry Wallace affair. Though it did not succeed in obtaining University permission for Mr. Wallace’s speech, it did manage to prod administrative officials into granting hearings—hearings aimed at a revision, or at least a clarification, of the University’s present policy toward political speakers. Though these two events brought it into the spotlight, other examples of Congress’s new found will to act dotted the year. A representative list of these accomplishments might include the establishment of the Pitt Chest, moves toward affiliation with the National Student Association, passage of an amendment that partially rectified the representation quotas in Congress, setting up a Demonstration Block for football games. And there were a host of minor achievements that ranged from the procurement of a check room to an investigation of the lack of cold drinking water. By the time the books closed on the current year, even its severest critics conceded that, taken as a whole, the year was one which not only Congress members, but the student Ixxly as well, could review with a great ileal of pride and satisfaction.

The College was represented by 15 men. the School of Engineering and Mines by 8 men. and the School of Business Administration by 7 men. This representation of 30 men was the largest in University history for Men’s Council. Beginning in the Spring of '47. Men’s Council again began serving the needs of the school. The first thing brought up for consideration wasa request to the Athletic Department for more seats in the student section for the football games. This request was acted upon favorably, giving the students more seats than in any previous year. During the summer session men's Council opened the Men’s Council Bookstore for the first two weeks of school. This bookstore was also open for two weeks during the fall and spring semesters enabling all students to buy their lxx ks at a lower cost than at the University Bookstore. The Council carried on the freshman orientation program and awarded the Panther Keys. With the assistance of W.S.G.A. the Council sjxmsored freshmen mixer dances. The members of Men’s Council were prominent in their service as camp counselors at the 17th Annual Freshmen Camp, as upperclass counselors, and as leaders in important positions on publications and in other University activities. The members, as representative of men in the College, in the School of Engineering and Mines, and in the School of Business Administration, did a fine job in '47-’48.

Tin-: womks of the I'nivcrsity in an ideal friendship through a well-organized democratic government is the aim of W.S.G.A. The Women’s Self-y Government Association, representing a unique governing organization among college campuses of the country, fulfills the real meaning of its name and gives the women an active part in university life over and above their formal education. The Commission of W.S.G.A., composed of the elected officers, the chairmen of the standing committees. Senior Court, and the representatives elected by the various other women’s organizations on the campus serves as a unifying force as it decides the program for the year. The purpose of W.S.G.A. is all-inclusive yet highly specialized and requires the services of a great many standing committees. To guide the freshmen through their first difficult months the Customs Committee teaches them about I’itt Customs, and the Social Committee and Men’s Council give freshmen Mixer Dances. Much of the work of W.S.G.A. is effectively done through these standing committees. Other committees are the Activities Committee which makes a study of the number of women who are taking part in various activities; the Customs Committee which strives to make freshmen women an integral part of the I’nivcrsity as quickly as possible; the High School Relations Committee which attempts to interpret college and university life to the high school student by inviting groups to visit the campus; the Housing Committee which studies the housing of both individual students and organized groups of women on campus; the Red Cross Committee, newest committee on campus, which correlated National Red Cross Activities with collegiate interests in the organization: the Scholastic Honors Committee which encourages high scholastic records among women students; the Social Committee which works with other social chairmen on campus to promote high social standards WSGA COMMISSION First Row: K.

SENIOR CLASS CABINET THE SENIORS MADE THEIR LAST YEAR A (; X 1) ONE, A YEAR TO REMEMBER UNITING SENIOR WOMEN in extracurricular activities to add feeling and friendliness to their academic interests was the aim of the Class of 1948. What could have been a more ideal name for the Senior Class’ first social affair than “The First of the Last ? October 31 was the first time the women not together, and from the results of the skit each girl presented, many humorous incidents were remembered about their college life. To inject enthusiasm and spirit into the girls, the Senior Rally, under the direction of Betsy Briant, was held November 25. Class cheers were rehearsed, and a few senior girls full of the old 1948 class spirit were chosen as cheer leaders for the big sing which came on December 10. Senior women, usually thought of as quiet” and “reserved,” let their hair down and screamed and veiled with the underclassmen. By the time the senior women became oriented to school again after their Christmas vacation, the Sophomore Party was held in honor of the Senior Class. The last big senior activity before graduation was the banquet held March 17. This affair climaxed the women's four years at Pitt. And then as the last of the last was the Mother's Tea in May. With the quiet atmosphere of the Commons Room, the soft music of the organ, senior women chatting to the mothers of all Pitt women, the tea was a pleasant affair and acted as a close to the social program of the Class of 1948. Under the guidance and advice of the class advisors, Mrs. McIntosh and Mrs. Wheeler, the senior class had a well-planned and interesting year. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Miriam Seiner; Vice-President. Dolores Stumpff; Secretary, Doris Kalet; Treasurer, Dolores Hartman; W.S.G.A. Representative, Ruth Barton. 150 Above: Members of the senior class did the serving at the Chancellor's fireside chats and receptions. Right: Jackie Bowers.

AND SOCIAL FESTIVITIES The junior year at pitt for the Class of 1949 was not all toil, tears, and trouble. It was liberally sprinkled with social functions. Early in the fall, the members of the Class of '49 decided to make this a year of congenial gatherings featuring original themes for each. From the warm friendliness created at all of the parties this plan was a tremendous success. Soon after the enactment of the Pageant of Light at the inspiring Lantern Night services, the first social event, The Junior Frolic,” got under way on the twelfth floor. The unique Halloween decorations and the delight in the surprise program of square dances made the first event of the year a success. The Junior Salute” was marked by a demonstration of the new look in fashions. With the approach of the Christmas holidays, the Class of '49 decided to join in the celebration. At Santa's Surprise” party the Juniors, radiat- ing holiday cheer, chatted amid the traditional holly and mistletoe decorations. After mid-term vacation the Class of '49 relaxed and renewed acquaintances at the Junior Coke Caper.” Almost everyone bemoaned their quality point average and parted with the determination to break all scholastic records during the spring semester. With the approach of Spring, the Junior women turned their thoughts to the coming year which would climax their life at college. An appropriate April Shower party closed the social calendar for the year. And so this talented class of '49, after the completion of their third year at the University, looked forward to returning as Seniors in the fall. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Barbara Schropp; Vice-President, Ruth Raupp; Secretary. Joanne Johnston; Treasurer, Abby Clark. First Row:J,. Ruff; R. Raupp; B.

Just a quick look at their social calendar will explain why the sophomore girls were always busy. With tacks and pins and last minute preparations the Class of 1950 got olT to a bang-up” start on November 4 with a “Coke-tail party on the twelfth floor. The next event on the girls’ program was a picnic to which the girls brought their dates, who were put to work toasting marshmallows and chestnuts over a huge bonfire for their hungry companions. In December the main excitement was over the traditional Inter-Class Sing, at which each class presented an interesting program with the theme being “Pitt of Tomorrow”. The sophomores walked off with top honors from this vocal contest with their skit of “Station ATOM-izer, originally represented with a perfume bottle. One of the biggest events on the agenda after the new year was under way was a fashion show sponsored by Ciimbels in which the sophomores paid tribute to their sister class, the seniors. After this successful event the girls polished up on their “p's and q’s and escorted their favorite dates to the Fat her-Daughter banquet held in the University cafeteria. Then came the Saint Valentine’s day Heart Hop” to which the girls had a chance to ask their big moments” to one of the largest dances of the season. The last event in which the sophomores | articipatcd during the year of 1947-48 was the Mothers’ Tea in the Commons Room. The officers for the year were as follows: President.

ENGINEERING AND MINES CABINET THE MEN WITH SEIDE RULE TECHNIQUE HAVE GROWN IN SIZE AND UNITY Tm-: ykar 1947-48 brought to the School of Engineering and Mines the largest enrollment in the School’s history. These men brought not only a desire for knowledge, but also a new esprit dc corps to the classrooms of the Engineering School. The E and M Cabinet, representing the students of their school, endeavored to encourage this spirit by presenting an attractive social program and by coping with the problems of crowded conditions. Problems such as inadequate facilities of the Student I-o unge were met and remedied. Through reports made in the departmental seminars, the Cabinet also aimed at lx tter support from the Engineering school for the University dances, assemblies, and other social functions. The Cabinet worked hard at building up a closer relationship lx tween the School of Engineering and Mines and the other schools of the University, a relationship which had been weakened by the sudden overpopulation of all the University schools after the war. A big feature of the year was the separation of the aeronautical students from the mechanical engineering seminar, enabling each group to lx individually represented on the Cabinet. Realizing, also, the need for a balanced social program, the Cabinet sponsored a year round program of events. A summer picnic at South Park, a smoker for the E and M freshmen, the annual Thanksgiving dance, the Feudin’ Frolic in the ballroom of the William Penn Hotel, and a Spring dance were the highlights of a varied social schedule. The odicers for the year were as follows: President, Myer Rosenthal; Vice-President, Ed Stuart; Corresponding Secretary, Ralph Simmons: Recording Secretary, John Kosperlco; Treasurer, Jacob Pantuk-hofT. 154 STUDENT FACULTY NURSING ASSOCIATION hii-gtliow: M.

The roup attempts to establish valuable associa-ions and provide student activities that promote a happy, balanced school life. The organizar tion also aims to uphold the high ideals of the nursing profession as well as to promote the well-being of those attending the school. In September of the past year, a Senior Mentor program was instigated as an aid to the student. The program helped the student contribute to a maximum to the school and the nursing profession as well. The girls also derived a greater benefit from the school’s educational and social programs. In addition to serving these purposes, the Mentor program provided a friendly atmosphere and fostered many friendships as the girls were oriented to new surroundings. Among the social affairs provided for the students were the several monthly social events and annual banquets. At Hallowe’en, Christmas, and St. Patrick’s Day special parties were held. The highlight of the social season was the annual Nursing Ball in January at the Hotel Schenlev. In May, the Florence Nightingale Memorial Service took place in the Heinz Chapel. These affairs, which were memorable ones for students in the School of Nursing, heljx-d to balance the social and educational life of these future nurses. The Florence Nightingale Memorial Service especially typified the high ideals of the nursing profession and presented a challenge and a goal for these students. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Olive Sabar; Vice-President, Geraldine Barrett; Secretary-Treasurer. Velma Adams. 155 INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION First Row: B. Welch; P. Fulmer; A.

An entirely different organization from the one which was formed just before the war, the PI A was officially.recognized on February 20. 1948 and placed on the customary probation |x riod of one year until it proved itself. However, during the first few weeks after PIA was recognized it began to prove itself in a big way. The first formal gathering was held in Stephen Foster Memorial on March 3, where Dr. Peter Cray, head of the department of biological sciences, spoke to a meeting of independent students. A tea held in the Commons Room followed the address. The next day. March 4. PIA really got under way by introducing a plan that no campus organization had previously used. The first Dance A Week” was held on the twelfth floor of the Cathedral and was a huge success. Succeeding dances were held on different days of the week to accommodate students whose class schedules interfered with a dance that would be held on the same day each week. The purpose of the organization as outlined in the constitution is. To plan, coordinate, and sponsor social functions for members; to provide a medium for expression of student opinion; to encourage school spirit by fostering loyalty to the University; and to cooperate with other student organizations to achieve this aim”. Following through with a complete social program, PIA had a plan that included intramural sjjorts in all phases including participation in volley ball, softball, swimming, golf, and track. Spring Festival activity and other events rounded out the social calendar. Faculty sponsors who aided the organization were Fred Robie and Dr. Clarence 'Pryon. 156 ALPHA PHI OMEGA Find Row: K.

Under the guidance of the first two Presidents, Bernard Labuskes and Don Wingerd, the Executive Board once again established a , .vS...m which would enable the Beta Chapter to do the swell job they once did for the University before they were forced to bow from the scene of campus life. Shortly after its founding in 1925, the National Inter-Fraternity Council classified Alpha Phi Omega as a service fraternity. At Pitt the Beta Chapter conducts all student elections, works under the direction of the Dean of Men in Freshmen Week, ushers at Commencement and at Graduation, and performs many other services to the University. But it’s not all work for the members of Alpha Phi Omega. Not long after the reorganization of the chapter, they again began sponsoring their annual Snow Ball Dance which is the highlight of the social program. Needless to say, few ever miss the Founder's Day Banquet. The members of Alpha Phi Omega are a genuine cross-section of students at Pitt for they are nonfraternity and fraternity men who are members of the Pitt Band, the Y.M.C.A., numerous honorary and professional fraternities. Student Government, Student Publications, and many other extra-curricular activities. Only those men who were or are at the present time registered with the Boy Scouts of America are eligible for membership in this fraternity. Then from these, only those who can forget their own interests while serving others are invited to join. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Robert Hoon: Vice-President, Lloyd Horwitz: Secretary, James Say; Treasurer, David Bright: Alumni Secretary, Fred Greger; Historian, David Cowles. 157 KAPPA PSI’S PROSPECTIVE PHARMACISTS MIX BUSINESS A l) PLEASURE Looking back over four good years in Kappa Psi, we realize how much we have to remember. Among those items not to be forgotten are mornings such as those after initiation and hell week. Dances, dinners, weiner roasts (which always featured “Shoestrings Seastead ). bowling parties, and good old-fashioned bull sessions, usually featuring the question of pricing prescriptions, always kept things humming. The prescription question was never settled, but the public may be getting a break in a few years if some of the brothers retain their opinions. On the professional side (yes, we had one), there were many discussions on our plans for the future and on our ideas of present day trends in the profession. Of course we had our “characters'- who will always be remembered: Rob I so move” Stevens; Caz “Now I think” Ianuzzi; George “Parliamentary Rules” Hook; Rob “I need money” Palchak;and many of the others. We wish the best of luck to the brothers, Malion, Little, Guskca, and Fischell who graduated in February, and to Vavro, Testa, Foulk, Ianuzzi, Stevens, Palchak, Roettner, and Urbani who graduated in lune. Men of Kappa Psi pride themselves on their past history. The fraternity was organized at the Medical College of Virginia in 1897, and became active here at Pitt in 1913. Today Kappa Psi is a strong national professional fraternity and will remain so as long as we have men of the caliber we have had in the past. Professionally, the members of Kappa Psi strive harmoniously to broaden their scope of knowledge, not only in our own pharmaceutical profession, but in other fields as well. Members of Kappa Psi are practicing their profession throughout the country and so upholding the ideals of their fraternity. The odicers for the year were as follows: President, Jack Foulk; Vice-President, Alvin Vavro; Secretary, Edward Jones; Treasurer, Robert Palchak; Faculty advisor. I)r. Edward P. Claus.

Forty-five years ago, the first Psi Omega chapter was founded at Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Five years after the origin of the fraternity, Nu, the local chapter, was established on the University campus. The Psi Omegas have a twofold aim: to promote and further the social qualities and abilities of the members and to provide for the general advancement of the dental profession. This year, the Psi O’s concentrated on athletics, scholarship, and social affairs. Sixty-five members met twice a month in their chapter house at 230 X. Bellefield Avenue under their colors of blue and white. Beside the dental advancement .aspect, the Psi Omegas carried on a vigorous sports schedule. This year they won the II. E. Friesell trophy for their superiority in the inter-fraternity combined sports program. Social life at the Chapter house was not neglected either, as frequent house parties proved. Besides holding three after-game football dances, the Psi O’s held several formals. Tommy Carlyn furnished the music for the Christmas Dance which was held at the Roosevelt Hotel, and we must not forget the annual Senior Formal held in May. Two former members of Nu Chapter, Dr. L. E. Van Kirk and Dr. Y. F. Swanson, now members of the Duquesne Alumni Chapter, brought fame and honor to the fraternity when they were chosen to positions of Dean and Associate Dean of the School of Dentistry respectively. The Dents, noted for their activity by no means lacked this quality in 1947-48. The officers for the year were as follows: Grand Master, Joseph 1.. Haller; Junior Master, Dalton H. Deckman; Secretary, Raymond M. Ripp; Treasurer, Caesar R. Fastiggi. PSI OMEGA First Row: F. Corscllo; J. Lyon; M. Touthman; R. Ripp: K. Wilson; T. C'onlin: J. Haller. Pres.: R. Washaliaugh: H.

WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WAA PROGRAMS STRESS PARTICIPATION OF INDIVIDUAL IN GROUP SPORTS Fostering among the women of the University a spirit of play and extending to all women students the opportunity of enjoying individual or group sports was the purpose of the Women’s Athletic Association for the year 1947-48. All undergraduate women carrying twelve or more campus credits are eligible for membership. Those wishing to become members must participate in an activity and show willingness to support the organization. The Women’s Athletic Association really knew what activity meant this year. The girls started out with the Freshman Carnival, October IS, at Schenlcy Plaza Field, Schenlcy Park. Here freshmen and their mentors spent the afternoon having their fortunes read, throwing darts, and enjoying all the other features of a carnival. WAA also sponsored archery, volleyball, bowling and badminton tournaments. Inter-class, fraternity, and independent teams par- ticipated in each event. S| orts chairmen for the year were Jean Younginger, Ann Livingston, Marion Vokovitch, Ethell Howell, and Marilyn Mahle. Throughout the year WAA also s| onsored mixer dances on the twelfth floor. The 1947-48 board concluded the season with a cook-out planned by the outings chairman, Betty Voltz, at which the officers for the year 1948-49 were installed. In every way the Women's Athletic Association of the University tried to contribute to the enjoyment and well being of the women at Pitt. It was a job well done by its officers and members. The officers for the year were as follows: President. June Schwartz; Vice-President, Betty Swadow; Secretary, Peggy Dauley; Treasurer, Eleanor Berg; Women’s Self-Government Association Representative, Ruth Descaunets; Faculty Advisor, Gyla Nicely. 160 PITKIN CLUB INTEGRATES CHRISTIAN IDEALS AND ACTIVE STUDENT LIFE NOW IN ITS THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR, the Pitkin Club continues to be a religious discussion group for Pitt students. Meeting every Wednesday evening for dinner, the group, presided over by Rev. Frank Hutchison of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church, attempts to find some practical Christian solution for various problems now faced by young Christians. The Club was founded by Dr. Hugh Thompson Kerr for a small gathering of Pitt students, but now has expanded to almost one hundred members from Pitt and PCW. Not only are many problems discussed, but the Club also attempts to foster a friendly atmosphere among Christian students. Realizing that a social program is an integral part of Christian living, a few social events were scheduled for the school year. Together with the Teknon Club of Carnegie Tech, the Pitkin group held a gala social event on Friday, January 16. at Thistle Hall on the Tech campus. At a Christmas program on December 17. the Pitkin Club took on the true Christmas spirit by hearing the Christmas story read and later singing carols. Richard Campbell and his committee had helped create the Christmas atmosphere by beautiful decorations of Christmas flowers, pine branches, and a Christmas tree. In January the Rev. James Dandridge spoke to the group in commemoration of George Washington Carver Week. Since Mr. Dandridge had been a personal friend of Dr. Carver, his talk held an added interest for the club members. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Robert W. Dickson; Vice-President, Doris Bish; Secretary, Virginia Curry (PCW); Treasurer, Richard Campbell; Social Chairmen, Agnes Johnson and Lucille McKay; Publicity Chairman, Howard Smith.

Ibl YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION PROMOTES IN TER-GROUP RELATION'S Many campus activities arc sponsored and promoted bv the Pitt YMCA under the direction of J. Frederick Miller and his associate, Fred Broad Jr. The student can find a wide field for expression in his “V associations. Discussion clubs and study groups provide an opportunity for religious expression and spiritual development. Participation in the school intramural sports program gives members an opportunity for physical development and the experience which an athletic program affords. Popular among students have been the Social Inquiry trips, Wednesday Morning Breakfast Club, Pre-Med Forum, Pitkin Club, Pitt Town Meeting, and Association Nights. The YMCA encourages its meml ers to participate in as many other school activities as possible, for it is through these outside interests that character is developed. 'Phc Freshmen Club, the Y’s Men Club, conducting its own program under the leadership of Hugh Squitier, has grown and expanded its activity. A successful Freshmen Camp at the beginning of the year uncovered a spirited group of individuals whose enthusiasm and talent will long lx felt on campus. The “Y was also among the first of campus organizations to reach students at the Ellsworth Center. They aided freshmen in forming a Student Cabinet there. National Student Assembly, Regional YM-YW Conferences, and a Pitt Conference at CampCaronda-wanna have enriched the experiences of many students. Student officers for the year were as follows: President, James Cochran: Vice-President, Milan Govic; Secretary, Rudy Balaban. Members of the Student Committee of Management included Robert Reighart, Robert Ingrim. Robert Dickson, Ed Zadarozny, Jim Gallahger, and Franklin Blackstone. YMCA CABINET First Row: J. F. Miller; (1.

Bish. YOl NG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BETTERS HUMAN I NDESTANDING After occupying five different offices in the Cathedral of learning during the Iasi three years, the Y.W.C.A. has its permanent home in Room 1204 of the University. From this office throughout the year the oes on offering a planned program of interest groups as a way to better human understanding. Students who excel in leadership or those who wish to cultivate that quality may find challenges in the varied projects of service. This channel may be through membership assemblies once a month or volunteer service in the community under qualified supervision. There is the realization of the necessity of political understanding through discussion groups of students and faculty as the “Y” aids in the planning of Breakfast Club and Pitt Town Meeting. The World Student Christian Federation is of deep concern to Y members and they participate in campus conferences, area conferences and national conferences to sharpen their knowledge of current issues and to know more about the world as a common ground of interest in these days. Recreation plays an important part in the Y” program through barn dances and competition of bowling groups under the direction of the Women’s Health Education. Other types of parties are held in the Pittsburgh branches of the Y.W.C.A. A concern and spirit of goodwill prompted the entire association tc go all out for a collection of clothing on campus which was sent to the needy in Europe. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Mary Jane Dunsnioor; Vice-President, Marie Stoj; Secretary, Ruth Tomasik; Treasurer, Eleanor Meyer; Assistant Treasurer, Vivian Williams ;W.S.(i.

The purpose of the new set-up was to give the JLveteran a highly organized and well-rounded program of activities at Pitt. In addition to social functions, the organization assisted the ex-Gls with problems concerning housing, part-time employment, and increased subsistence. In coo| eration with the Dean of Men’s office, everything | ossib!e was done to find living accommodations for single and married students. The Vet's Association is the only recognized veteran’s outfit on campus and is a strictly nonpartisan group. During the gridiron season the organization s| onsored the Goal Post Dance at the Syria Mosque. The affair was held as an open tea dance a few days before the Pitt-Penn State game. An intramural sjx� rts program was one of the P. V.A’s activities outside its regular program. Teams were organized in intra-mural sjx rts in football and bowling. The Vets went to a play-off in the independent league, but were forced to forfeit the final touch football game. The bowling program was highly successful in providing the Vets with another active sj)ort, though no high honors were taken by the team. The entire sports program was received enthusiastically by the veteran students as well as by the campus as a whole. The officers for the year were as follows: Presi- dent. James M. Madden; Vice-President, Al Capozzi; Recording secretary, James Hersche; Corresponding secretary. Clark Tomer; Treasurer, Helen Hoffman; Directors, Tina Caputo, Ed Zadarowski, Sam Hobbs; Social Chairman. Joe Wolfe; Athletic Chairman, Dave Raley; Publicity Director, Dario Icardi.

PITT PLAYERS THE PITT PLAYERS ENJOY ENTERTAINING THE STUDENT BODY AT PITT As one of the oldest campus organizations, Pitt Players looks back on thirty seasons of continuous dramatic activity. This year saw the Players introduce their first regular director, Mr. Harvey Pope, from the University of Alabama, who will direct plays and teach play production. With Mr. Pope’s coming the Players have embarked on an earnest program to garner nationwide recognition for their work. All will agree that they have been successful as far as they have gone. Last year's production of “Joan of Lorraine” received national publicity on Fred Waring’s program. It was the first presentation of the play off Broadway and launched Pitt Players on the road to complete recovery from its wartime doldrums. Now that they have a permanent director with lots of ideas, as far as getting Pitt on the dramatic map of the country is concerned, the group is rising to new heights. The showing of “George Washington Slept Here” in conjunction with the observance of the thirtieth anniversary of Players in the fall entailed feverish activity by the entire staff of the show. 168 President, Bill Aul Publicity in student and city papers told of Pitt Players as one of the oldest dramatic groups in the city. They basked in thespotlight with Cecil 13. DeMille when he was in Pittsburgh for the premiere of his “I'nconquered”. Mr. DeMille, along with Billy de Wolfe, I.izbeth Scott, and Howard da Silva, visited the campus and directed Pitt Players in a scene from the picture. Walter Pidgcon also came through when he attended the Ohio State game. Mr. Pidgeon walked up and down in front of the stands carrying a large “George Washington Slept Here” sign. Besides Walter, the fans also were aware of the show when an airplane circled the stadium with a long streamer mentioning the show and its play dates. These big time’ stunts were the first in Player history. A formal reception held after the premiere of “George Washington Slept Here” was another unique first. Formal invitations were sent to representatives of dramatic groups in the city, to critics, to officers of the University, and to other civic leaders. In the Spring Players presented Arthur Miller's recent New York hit, “All My Sons”, for its first showing in Pittsburgh. This was followed by three one act plays directed by students in April. The final production, the gay costume piece titled “The Would-Be Gentleman”, translated from Moliere’s French comedy, was presented during Spring Festival. The curtain was rung down on the year's work with the traditional Pitt Players banquet at the Webster Hall. At this banquet new members were Scenery experts Mike DeMarco, Players new technical director, and Frank Petralak study plans for a new set. Two minutes 'til curtain. 169 The technical crew work on a set for “George Washington Slept Here” tapped into the organization, officers elected, and awards presented to outstanding members for their work during the season. Pitt Players feels that the more prestige it can garner for itself the better it can fulfill its aims of showing desirable plays to the students and providing opportunities for those who are interested to help in the different phases of their production. They have a place for their shows, Stephen Foster Memorial, and a Joan of huge pool of student talent to draw on—even the technical facilities are being enlarged. The Players own workshop has added more tools and machines for set construction and enlarged its storage space. The officers for the year were as follows: President, William Aul; Vice-President, Eleanor Hershberger: Secretary, Cora Robinson; Business Manager, Harry Harris; Technical Manager, James Voris; Publicity Director, Edwin Tucker.

Tito Hraunstein and Ken Phifer. 172 CAP AND GOWN Cap and Gown was founded in 1908 at what was then the old Western University of Pennsylvania, and appropriately enough the first show in Cap and Gown’s long history was called “In Wupland”. Since that time zation has grown, as did the University itself, and like the University found lean times during the past war years. Cap and Gown became inactive in 1942 and remained so until its revival in 1946 with its first postwar production, Kilroy Is Here. The organization was reactivated on the campus through the efforts of the Graduate Cap and Gown, not to further the historical name of Cap and Gown, but to give the men students at Pitt an opportunity to participate in an activity that would bring out and develop any theatrical talent they might possess. The purposes of Cap and Gown are to foster the growth of the individual at Pitt and to produce a show annually that is in keeping with the Cap and Gown tradition. This year Cap and Gown produced Mabel's Fable, a successful musical, typical of great Cap and Gown shows. Following in the tradition of former years, Mabel’s Fable was a gala revue climaxed by a grand finale of speciality and featured talent. Plans are already being laid for next year's production. Several Pitt students have worked on books that will be submitted for consideration to the Graduate Cap and Gown Club. One book will be selected as the 1948 production. The Undergraduate Club is made up of Cap and Gown men who are tapped after each show as outstanding participants in the production. The Undergraduate Club is an honorary activity of Cap and Gown and therefore selection is based on spirit and cooperation in working with the group rather than on acting or technical ability. The officers of the organization are: Robert Lazar, president; Kenneth Phifer, vice-president; Val Slava, secretary; Jack Abramson, treasurer. 173 WOMEN’S SPEECH GIRLS SPEAK UP FOR SOCIAL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES During the past year the Women’s Speech Association lias shown an outstanding increase in membership and activities. The organization is composed of women interested in speech, poetry, discussions, and forums, and its program serves to fulfill these interests in a friendly, social atmosphere. Some of the activities of WSA during the past year included poetry reading sessions led by Hester Cook, discussion forums of topics of current interest, and numerous social affairs. One of the outstanding forums presented this year was a discussion of the UNO with Dolores Kelsey as chairman and Joan Chronis, Barbara Russell, and Mac Fleming participating. Professor Martin of the Political Science Department, an authority on the UNO, was guest speaker at the meeting which followed the forum. With the return of Beaux Arts Day, WSA and Women's Choral co-sponsored a program showing the cultural side of the University to freshmen women through tours, music, speeches, and the arts. Women’s Speech and the YWCA welcomed the yuletide at a Christmas party held at the Stephen Foster Memorial. In the spring the group held a square dance with the Men's Debate at the Metropolitan “Y”. This dance provided both groups with many pleasant memories. Another traditional social affair was the annual farewell dinner for senior members of WSA. During the program which followed the dinner, the Women's Speech Guild performed, recreating some of their guild activities. The senior girls were presented a rose and each girl gave a short farewell speech. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Elaine Saupp; Vice-President, Sally Olcon: Secretary, Harriet Hilsenrath: WSC.A Representative, Doris Bish; Social Chairman, Lois Sidler. WOMEN’S SPEECH ASSOCIATION First Rote: H. Hilsenrath: K.

TIIE MEN’S DEBATING ASSOCIATION WAS ACTIVE IN CONTESTS AND TOURS Encouraging participation in forensic activities, particularly debating, is the aim of the Men's Debating Association. It has been a policy of this association to afford each member every possible opportunity to engage in forensics. Those who entered this organization without previous training in such work have been given training and experience; those who joined to continue their training and practice have been given the instruction and the opportunities they sought. For the two-fold purpose of providing audiences for its speakers and stimulating civic interest the group founded a Speaker Bureau last December. This bureau provides programs for interested clubs and societies in the Pittsburgh district. In late October eight men, engaged in a series of thirteen debates, visited Western Reserve University and debated before over five thousand students in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The principal trips of the year were those to the Delta Sigma Rho Tournament at Madison, Wisconsin in early March, and the Grand National Forensic Tournament at Fredericksburg, Virginia in late March. These activities were supplemented with numerous individual debates with visiting college teams, with tournaments at Mt. Mercy, Penn State, Shippensburg, Kent State, Washington and Jefferson, and with intra-squad debates. The Men's Debating Association was reactivated in the national honorary forensic fraternity, Delta Sigma Rho. The organization also renewed its affiliation with the Pennsylvania Debating Association. The officers for the year were as follows: President, John I). Rhodes: Secretary, Louis Lederman; Manager of High School Relations, Fred F. Wolf; Audience Manager, James ( Medley. 176 HEINZ CHAPEL CHOIR First Row: F. Copetas; I). Rider; E. Morgan; K. Ilandy; S. Thomas; J. Patterson; F. Walks; E. King Second Row: J. Karchcr;R.

THE ROYAL-ROBED CHOIR IS A SOURCE OF PRIDE TO THE I NIVERSITY Busks parked in front of the Forbes Street entrance of the Cathedral usually mean that the Heinz Chajxd Choir, one of the outstanding college choirs in the country, is starting out on another tour. The Choir, composed of approximately fifty Pitt men and women, is under the direction of I)r. Theodore M. Finney, head of the Department of Music Appreciation. The group was organized by Dr. Finney in 1938 for the primary purpose of singing at student chapel services and Sunday Vespers in the newly-built Heinz Chapel. Soon, however, the choir began to give concerts for various churches and organizations throughout the Pittsburgh area. In 1939 the singers from Heinz Chapel went on their first concert tour, and since then a similar tour is part of the annual activities of the choir. Each September the choir goes to camp for five days to re-organize before school starts, and last year the group made their first appearance at Chautauqua Lake, New York. The choir was proclaimed a success by the Chautauqua music critics and plans are being made to return this summer. In spite of this active program, the members of the choir still find time for their annual formal dinner, held this year at the Faculty Club, and a picnic at “Pop Finney’s farm in the spring. Any undergraduate student of the University may try out for the choir by making an appointment with Dr. Finney. After one year of participation in the choir, members receive silver keys, and at the end of two years, they are given gold keys. Association does not stop at graduation, however, for there is an active alumni choir that meets every two weeks throughout the school year. The Heinz Chapel Choir is a group held together by a strong common bond—that of the love of music. 177 PITT SINGERS First Row: E. Ankowski; D. Kelsey; E. Ross; D. Weiss, Advisor; M. Mitler; M.

I wo years ago, sixteen men and women who liked to sing met around a piano with David Weiss, director of Women's Choral and Men’s Glee Club. This was the informal beginning of the Pitt Singers, gs such as Katherine's Wedding Pay, Go Lovely Rose. Little David Play on your Harp, and The Ash Grove composed the chief repertoire of the group. Soon programs of the Women’s Choral and the Men’s Glee Club began to feature the Pitt Singers. During the year the group was well received at Seton Hill, the YWCA Christmas party, and the Christmas Assembly Program. The enthusiasm of this small group received the attention of the administration, and this year the group was provider! with a budget. Pitt Singers is now the only mixed secular singing group on campus, composed of thirty-five men and women selected from members of Women's Choral and Men’s Glee Club. In November the Pitt Singers joined the Men’s Glee Club at Seton Hill where a second appearance had been requested. Further appearances of the year were at the “Y” Christmas Party held at Stephen Foster. Aspinwall Veteran’s I lospital. and St. Vincent’s College. At the Women’s Choral Spring Concert. Pitt Singers featured hit tunes from current Broadway plays. So if you’ve been puzzled by the mixed harmony which at the close of the fourth hour on Thursdays has descended from the thirtieth floor with the elevator—relax! It's only the Pitt Singers bound to be heard!

The Choral, increased to fifty members this past year, opened its schedule early in the fall by singing at the annual Beaux Arts Day Program. This program, co-sponsored with Women’s Speech Association, presented the cultural side of the University to freshmen women. Late in the fall the Choral sting at a Wednesday service in the Heinz Chapel. Later the groups presented a short concert at a Thanksgiving Tea and at a Christmas program in the Commons Room. Several short concert trips to other colleges in Western Pennsylvania followed these performances. In January the group performed for the veterans at Aspimvall Hospital with a concert of light classics and popular numbers. Women’s Choral is made up of sophomore, junior, and senior women who are selected by audition. Although freshmen women are not eligible to join the Choral, they have an intermediate music group, the Women’s Choral Guild, which is under the direction of an appointed member of Choral. The Choral, under the direction of David Weiss, rehearses every Monday and W’cdnesday on the twelfth Floor of the Cathedral. At these rehearsals, as well as in its programs, the group was accompanied by Robert Runzo. Miss Mary B.Scanlon, M. A.,instructor in music, served as Faculty Advisor. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Marguerite Cole: Vice-President, Phyllis Fields; Secretary, Ruth Tomasik; Busncss Manager.

THE MEN’S GLEE CLUB COMPLETES A WELL—ROUNDED YEAR. Consisting OF sixty selected voices under the capable direction of Mr. David Weiss, the Men’s Glee Club has completed another year in its calendar of top entertainment. The group made a name for itself in the _ district by singing at the various high schools in addition to public concerts. When good entertainment was needed, the Men’s Glee Club could always lx relied upon to come through. The Glee Club began its season by singing at Scion Hill College in Greensburg, and two days later the group gave an excellent performance for the parents of freshmen at the Chancellor’s Reception. The local concerts were all stepping stones to the eagerly awaited Spring Concert Tour. The Glee Club gave its first concert of the tour at State College, Pa., the second at Reading, Pa., and the third at Bethlehem, Pa. From there the Glee Club went to White Plains. New York, then on to their final performance at the Chalfontc-Haddon Hall in Atlantic City. They returned knowing they had been a credit to the University. All members of the group were urged to make contacts for these concerts, and some of the best and most appreciative audiences have been found in this manner. The group had three business managers who served as co-ordinators after contacts had been made. Contrast was added to the group this year by the addition of more solo work and an impromptu quartet known as the “Hcmi-demi-scmi-quavers”. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Fred Hassett; Vice-President, Robert Dickson: Secretary, Joseph Meckel; Business Manager. Frank Kodman; Assistant Business Managers, Charles Anderson and Frank Marvin: Librarian, Wilbur Stanko; Accompanist, Robert Runzo. 180 THE PANTHER Aided and abetted by a staff liberally sprinkled with GI’s, Editor Tom Pcrkinson threw Panther magazines to the critical wolves six times the past year. T. A.” and his eager group of literati pledged the Panther to bo a magazine of general interest. Dwight Zeller, managing editor, checked copy. After passing the tests of this man of taste, the remaining gems were pieced together for the printer by makeup editor Mary Jo Litzinger. All of this resulted in “The Panther”. Two hours after an issue would hit the stand, business manager Jack Moran and Jim Dowd, circulation chief, would claim a sell out. Two hours later, buyers would claim they had been sold out. Stu Work-master, boss publicity man, would merely go around claiming. The staff lived up to their policy. Fiction Editors Bernic Fischman and John Morrissey turned out some good student writing. Articles by Feature Editor Tony Glasscr and Johnny Schnapp on sjx rts added spice to the magazine. Bob Gordon and Chuck McKissock stood by to photograph and illustrate madly. Tony Glasscr, Feature Editor; Mary Jo Litzinger, Make-up Editor; and Pcrkinson plot another issue tor the unsuspecting student body. Editor T. A.

Pounding pavements in Oakland and the triangle, hustling around the town trying to snare those necessary ads. lifting and toting 100 copy bales of Panthers was the work of the Panther business staff. To the student body, Business Manager Moran’s staff was pretty Panther salesgirls such as Jean Elliott pestering them to please buy a copy of the big, new, improved Panther.” After Workmaster's publicity boys had paved the way with their propaganda extraordinary, and Annie Boyles had figured out bigger and better ways to get advertising revenue, Jim Dowd’s circulation pretties peddled the issue into the black. Possessor of the biggest headache was Jim Huber, the Mag’s comptroller. Trying to separate black ink from red, and decipher statements, just about spelled finis for Jim’s sparse head of hair. If headaches, king size, and hard work, a whole cathedral-full make for valuable experience, the business staff of the Panther has it. 183 TH I'nder Editor Bill Veen is, the News received a thorough facelifting that started with the title plate in September and ended with a completely refinished office in May. The Pittpurri and Frat Facts of previous years were scrapped, making way for the new Social Light and the all-inclusive Campus Canvass. The Tuesday edition, increased to eight pages, got its own managing editor, Bill Catrow, while Harry Keck managed the Friday paper. Mimi Cooper graduated to the newly-created Art Editor's |K si. and every member of the staff took a crack at various desks in preparation for the large number of empty seats left after graduation. Weathering a year of last-minute news breaks and controversial issues may have thinned Don MaeCormack's hair or aged newlywed Frank Davis, but there was plenty of off-the-record fun to balance the real work. The athletics investigation, and Sports Editor John C.olightly's accompanying comments, added a little excitement. It was a quiet week when some joker wasn’t threatening the editors with a liln-I suit or using the crying towel thoughtfully hung on the wall. Off-moments were filled in the ski trips to Seven Springs, athletic encounters with the Panther Staff, and parties better imagined than printed. When things really got dull, the Pitt News Apache team of Catrow and Cooper put on free shows or Jayne Bibby passed around an expkxling can of peanut brittle. As usual, the line between fun and work grew thin, and April Fool's Day saw seven pages slapstick sneaked in behind a sober front page. Event of the year, however, was when the sheet’s top cartoonist. Ix s Gallagher, came up with a serious literary work in the form of a poem that ran in the Christmas edition, drawing more comment than any of his equally-talented cartoons.

Business Manager A visit to the '47-'48 NEWS office found sixteen of the staff members off in a corner, concerning; themselves with dollar signs and rulers rather than punctuation marks and dictionaries. The tall boy with the hair and the ruler would have been Jerry Panas; the girl with the ten pound ledger, Harriet Miller Steinberg, and the arms on the end of a bundle of papers those of circulation manager Bud Schulberg. Lcn Walk’s desk, piled high with ad copy, Chesterfield endorsements and egg salad sandwiches would still have room for Bob Newcomer busy designing a new ad for the College Cafe, Ivan Novick and Moe Kahn tallying up the week's receipts, and I lowie I larris slicing ads out of past issues. The darkest corner was filled by Sandy Shine. Irene Marcus, Dorothy Pearlstone and Florene Kessler, busy with the major minor jobs. Over all was “Red” Adler, making certain that everything was being run efficiently, honestly, and . . . profitably. If the visitor paused long enough, he would have been treated to one of Jerry Panas’ special smiles, one of Bcrnic Adler’s salcstalks, and a piece of Moe’s candy bar. Then he would have had just a hint of the goings-on connected with one issue of the PITT NEWS as seen from behind the cash registers of the Business Staff.

Walt Thompson, Editor Mavis l.octlk-r, Aswuic Editor Patricia llcncgun and Lee Karagcorge, Assistant Editors THE OWL E I) I TO R I A L S TA F F Each clay t his year, between classes, at lunchtime, and long after eighth hour classes were dismissed, a small group of University students could l� e found working spasmodically in the dusty office on the eighth floor. Leading this little group was Walt Thompson, the tall, lanky Editor who was never known to be seen without his “|x rsonalitv hat and blackened pipe. Associate Editor Mavis Locffler could usually be found in profound thought over the typewriter while Pat Hene-ghan. Assistant Editor, played guardian angel to the Owl, doing everything from writing copy to rescuing final proof from the wastebasket. On the night shift was Lee Karageorge, who spent most of his time hounding Sports Editor Dario Icardi for deadline copy and pictures. Organization Editor Eileen Ross, s|x nt her 12:30 lunch hours the first two months of school at the telephone making schedules for group pictures. Bette Erost and Lamont Shuttle-worth, Co- Ed i tors on Fraternities, made arrangements with the talented writers—or anyone eager to bring in the social write-ups. Contacting the I lonorarics for pictures and articles was the job of Carl Angstrom and Flo Diemert. John Kuliguski and his photography staff. Jayne Bibby, Marty Gluck, Stu Milliman. and (Mem Larkin, were thinking of signing up for track after all the experience they had in running from frat house to swim meet to pep rally for action shots. Pat Seger and Bill Raines. Administration Editors, had a hard time choosing members for the Faculty Personalities section with so many eligible candidates. Chub Albright. Layout Editor, with his assistants. Jack Arch and Bob Fuhr, sjx-nt the midterm vacation on the eighth floor with rulers and pencils trying to squeeze six pictures and a half page of copy ‘'neatly on a page. Feature writers Betty McGuire and Sidney Stark could always lx- counted on to write features, type, paste, or write captions and heads. Rounding out the staff were Clare Starrett. Kitty O’Hagan. Bernice Rivlin, and Shirley Levine. So went life in the dusty Owl office. Along with a never-ending maze of confused days and late nights of working for a deadline, the '48 Owl staff turned the key over to the staff of ’40 with a wish that by working together they may find the pleasure that has been ours this year.

BUSINESS STAFF mt Salesmen scurrying around the halls selling hooks, men sitting behind huge ledgers, and numerous enterprising young people trying to interest business concerns in advertising, these are the industrious members of the Owl business stall. They balance the books, supply the money, and try to keep us out of the red. No punctuation marks for them; it’s dollar signs instead. A visit to the office will convince one immediately of the work necessary to run a publication such as the Owl. Sitting behind his desk, looking very patriarchal to his doting cohorts, is Business Manager Dick Wallace, the hub of the business wheel. He will usually be arguing with Harry Lenchner, the su|)cr salesman who doubles as Assistant Business Manager. The man behind those high powered selling devices used to entice student support of the book is Scotty Gardiner, Circulation Manager. If you see salesmen running up to him with books full of subscriptions, they’re probably Pat I-eix and Frank Langsdale, the high powered assistants on circulation. They preside over a staff that combs the campus far and wide for would be subscribers. No less diligent in the search for money is Roy Barnes, the Advertising Manager, who along with Fred Doerflcr, Fred Obley and Gerald Aland, combs the far stretches of the city looking for money, contracts, and more money. With all this money pouring in from all directions, somebody has to record it and use it for paying bills. This job falls to the Comptroller, Mel Oravetz. He and his staff spend their days pouring over huge ledgers in an attempt to make everything even. Mel and his assistants, Sid Stark and Bill Bobbin, arc the assets and liabilities boys. So you see the Business staff is a well-organized and smooth working bureaucracy where everyone has his job and does it. Comptroller Mel Oravetz Advertising salesman Harry l.onehner and Ad Circulation Manager Scotty Gardiner Manager Roy Barnes figure out their cut. 187 THE OWL CAMERA CATCHES “PUBLICATIONS ROW” OFF GUARD 188 A Sorority House Portal RATERNIT1ES in which we take you hack through the portals of brotherhood and sisterhood, the doors to Pitt’s fraternity and sorority houses. Here some of us find the scenes of some of our richest college memories. In the world of Greek life, we learned the value of companionship and mutual effort. We learned to live together, to work togeth- er, and to sacrifice selfish motives to the interest of the group. Fraternities paid us rich rewards in pleasure and friendship, and taught us that we must make investments and bear responsibilities in proportion to any benefits we gain. SORORITIES PANHELLENIC COUNCIL PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL HAS BANNER YEAR OF INTERSORORITY I MTY Panhki.lhnk: COUNCIL is made up of all the sororities on campus, each sorority represented by two members. Panhcl irons out the perplexities of rushing and other sorority problems, but beyond that, sponsors an educational and social program as a service to all undergraduate women. It tries to establish unity among all the women students at the University. I’anhel started off this year with the always impressive Panhellenic Reception for Freshmen women which was held in the Commons Room on November 1. Next came the bonfire and Pep Rally before the Penn State game where Panhel shared honors with the IF Council and Student Congress. Panhel Sing, which gives an opportunity for friendly competition between the sororities, was again a big success. Kappa Kappa Gamma walked off with the golden cup. Panhellenic Ball, the formal dance at the William Penn, was better even than those in the past. With the wholehearted support of the sororities on campus, Panhellenic Council will always have bigger and better things to look forward to in years to come.

Starting up a new organization from scratch in the face of strong competition is a difficult task, but it can be done with a group of staunch charter mem-Ikts with loads of gumption and the drive to “go.” Among the active members of the sorority with these qualifications, there are such personalities as Betty Shore, a woman about campus with her Mortar Board presidency and Senior Court position; Bernice Nathan-son, also on Mortar Board; hard working Marilyn Sparks, who led the sorority through its first and toughest year; and Ruth Kaplan who took over the reins. Ruth's able co-workers were Gladys Hirsch and Estelle Richest, Delta Chi Rho's Panhellenic representatives. Both girls have gained recognition in Panhel, Gladys as the YSGA representative from Panhel and Estelle as the Editor of Who's Who in Women's Fraternities.

This singing trend was carried out further at a song title party on Hallowe'en where Peg Gleason and Big Brian Black came as Playmates.” Barbara Benko, Delores Naughton and dates were angels (temporarily). Around school Tri Delts Flaherty and Burns were seen in the Tuck Shop luncheon dating: Betty Rogers was in the Commons Room Council; Senior Mentors Grace Bowen and Ann Boyles picked up bulletins in the first floor Dean's office. On the eighth floor Panther fashion editor Bowen, Staff members Duffy, Elliot, Patton, King, and advertising manager Boyles just missed publications apoplexy around the first of every month. Way up on the twelfth floor in W.S.G.A. Jean Ann Coyle and B. J. Redman found their forte in the Customs Committee. Martha Duffy, Cwens Treasurer, assisted 206 Barbara Schropp as Fanhel representative. Barbara Schropp, as president of the Class of '49 was usually coming from or going to a committee meeting. At their annual Christmas party. Tri Psi, the Mother’s club, showered the daughters with many beautiful gifts for the new game room—Peg Patton’s pet project. The Tri Delts tagged for the Florence Crittendon Home, held tea dances for fraternities, and ended a stellar year with a big spring formal and a benefit bridge for the China Relief. The officers for the year were as follows: President. Betty Rogers; Vice-President, Grace Bowen; Secretary, Margaret Gleason; Treasurer, Ruth King. 207 DELTA ZETA J J UST AS ALADDIN’S WONDERFUL LAMP BROUGHT RICHES TO ITS OWNER, THE GOLDEN LAMP OF DELI A ZETA CALLS UP A WEALTH OF PLEASANT MEMORIES. 208 It was a day in June—graduation! Beth Hunker, sitting alone in the living-room, removed her I)Z pin from her blouse, looked at it for a few seconds, then rubbed its golden lamp softly. Memories began to come back of days of l)Z presidency with Beth trying to gather thirty Delta Zeta’s together for formal meeting. She remembered Jo Werner and Jean Lcber-tr.an. February grads, wildly filling out job applications. and of the many times she called for roommates Engineer Bat W arner and Bus Ad student Mimi Williams to forget those accounting sheets and come down for meeting. Memories of Vice-President Betty Flanagan busily teaching Janie Southerland the pledge lesson for the week; of Treasurer Nan West writing a check to Sally Pow for the new phono records while Secretary Pat Patterson rushed to pass out 3x5 cards to several DZ's who had been late for the last meeting: of Parliamentarian Ruth Raupp; of Sophomores Phil Artuso, Helen Will, and Lois Hager translating German on a cooperative basis; of Beth, locating Heinz Chapel Choir members Marion I'rling, Libby Mclndoe, Edi Worcester, and Flo Walko; of Eileen Ross, of Women’s Choral and choir members singing the Heinz Chapel Choir special There’s a Long White Robe in the Heavens for Me”; of Cinny Sutch, Diz StumpfT, and Margie Heinlein. the engagement trio, surrounded by admirers Carolyn Pierson. Dewey Davies, and Vina Elder; of Guild Advisors Ruth Barton and Pat Hcneghan talking over plans for the Guild Fair with ('wen member Betty McGuire; of Lois Ruff, Rushing Chairman, cornering B. J. Andrews and Shirley Snyder in the game room to talk over party plans for spring rushing: of Janie Walko hurrying in from an evening class just in time for meeting. The memories receded, and Beth repinned the DZ lamp over her heart—where there is always room for fond memories of sisters and friends. The officers for the year were as follows: President.

[I I ETA SMOKE DREAMS WILL ALWAYS BRING BACK MEMORIES OF FUN AT PARTIES, FOOTBALL GAMES, AND DANCES WITH SISTERS OF KAPPA ALPHA TI1ETA There are parts of this school year of 1947 and 1948 that will come back to every Theta when she sings the well-known Theta Smoke Dreams. We will remember Annabelle Montgomery, vice-president of Panhcllcnic Council, who was graduated with highest honor in February. We will remember too, Flora Diemert, our sophomore president of Cwens. The Christmas dance we will never forget: the house was decorated with mistletoe and holly, and we danced by candlelight. In December we prided ourselves on having five Thetas chosen fraternity sweethearts, and throughout the year we had fun making new friends of our transfers: Monie Buchtcr, Mary Balph and Ann Daniels. We became better acquainted with the Theta chapter at Tech this year too through joint parties and meetings. We’ll remember Monday night dinners at the house; our beautiful sloppy Theta jerseys that we wore everywhere: a spring formal; and a sleepless slumber party. We’ll remember too the grand pledge classes and the fun we all had working together to retain last year’s first place in a float parade. We won’t forget the seniors of 1948: Jacquo Bowers and her lovely singing voice, and Jacquc with no voice at all after football games; Betty Shew and Mary Mad- 210 dox as respective parts of the horse “Hosenpheffer during rushing; Haddie Nixon—her lunches at the Hunt Room, her modern dance, and her new hair style; Sis Biers—her smooth clothes and Ted; Pat Irons, our wonderful pledge mother; and our three engaged seniors, Virginia Reese, Jane Forsyth, and Mary Caroline Daunt. The Theta national convention this summer will be a Smoke Dream, too. The officers for the year were as follows; President, Jacqueline Bowers; Vice-President, Patricia Irons; Secretaries, Mary Maddox and Betty Shew; Treasurer, Mary Jane Cronemeycr. 211 KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA V JL V-APPA KAPPA GAMMA SAYS FAREWELL TO A WONDERFUL SEASON OF SPIRIT AM) UNITY AND TO NINK SFNIORS NEYF.R TO BE FORGOTTEN IN THE HEART OF KKG. 212 First Row: J.

We will have a difficult job replacing Betsy Briant, captain of our ship for the last two years. Every time a Kappa sings “Two Shades of Blue”. Jeanne Richardson’s wonderful choral leadership will be remembered —we lose her this year to Princeton. One of the happiest memories of 1947-48 was the surprise party Pattie Gattcr held for the Kappas to announce her engagement—and we lose another. Without Emogene Strong bustling around. 165 North Dithridge will seem empty next year. We shall all miss Pat Eldridge and the spirit that she gave to Kappa. Kappa meetings will seem strange without the cheerful voice of Pattie (lillcspie reading roll call. Wedding bells in ’48 claimed Marge Bethune, the girl with the smiling personality. We have all come to rely on the grand ideas of Helen Reis, our Panhellenic President. Kappa regrets that Joanne Kelly, our pep girl, had such a short stay with KKG. Yes, we’ll miss them all. These girls and all the actives will always look back to the memories of 1947-48. Our Founder's Day Dinner at the College Club opened the season for Kappa. W ith meetings, tea dances, and house dinners Kappas gathered together for fun and friendship. The sing team. Abby Clark, Margie Mack, Jeanne Richardson, Pat Eldridge, Mildred Egge, Betsy Briant, Joan Johnston, and Marge Bethune, captured the golden cup for Kappa. In true Yuletidc spirit the Kappas danced to “White Christmas” at their winter formal. KKCi and SAE gave a party for orphans to try to make their Christmas as pleasant as their own. With the Spring Festival, a pledge dance, and school activities guiding the year to an end, there were thirty hearts beating under shining golden keys and looking back to memories they'll never forget. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Betsy Briant; Vice-President, Joanne Kelly; Secretary, Patricia Gillespie; Treasurer, Marjorie Zulauf. 213 PHI MU P JL HI MU, L I.IKK EVERY SORORITY ON CAMPUS, HAS ITS SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES, BIG WHKEUS- AM) PRETTY SCHOLARS.

The “New Look” and a new house are synonomous to Phi Sigma Sigma. And the smile on the Sphinx’s face is the greeting to all who have visited or will visit the chapter house at 4S17 Centre Avenue. The girls too have capitalized on the new look. Chief authority on the latest vogues was Audrey Langdon, our student careerist. Head members of the “smart for college” group were Zelda Kcrnis, Lois Sidler, Naomi Gross, Doris Sakulskv, and Barbara Finegold. Associate members were Sylvia Peresman. Thelma Kaminsky, Ivvie Wolk, and Rita Shonbcrg. Shirley Bloom, chairman of the Junior Prom, carried out the fashion idea and named the dance ‘‘The Ballerina Whirl”. Even the newest members caught the fever. Renee Soltz featured the short bob, and Betty Gitelman staunchly supjKjrted the return of the George Washington hairdo. The extra newness for Diana Bernstein and I -ois Wanctick was an engagement ring—and frat pins for Joyce Levinson, Dotty Pearlstonc, and Norma Rubin. On the subject of pins, Miriam Seiner added a gavel as president of the Senior Class. She also was chairman of the Heart Hop. Her activities colleague, Cecile Bruder, tacked the title of Vice-President of WSGA to her list of accomplishments. In other women 'sactivitics were Panhcl representatives Carol Nunes and Jackie Twig, secretary for the Greek gals’ organization, and 216 Betty Mae Swartz, ticket chairman for the Frosh Dance. The Fourth Estate claimed Harriet Miller Steinberg as Pitt News Comptroller and Shirley Glaser as Feature Editor and Pitt News Guild Advisor. Ruby Feldman and Sandy Shine helped on the business staff, and Roz Harris, Jackie Blitz, and Miriam Canter worked on the news. And finally, the gals with the biggest assignments were Archon Shirley Ringel-heim and Rushing Chairman Audrey Golomb.

Memories that had slipped back into a corner of my mind come to the front again. It seems an awfully Ion};; time since I was a “grcenie” lost and bewildered in a maze of halls and elevator shafts. This fall we returned to school as Seniors—Marge and C'.loria as Senior Mentors—and all that had been new and strange four years ago was now dear and familiar to us. Our dreams of crossing a shining dance floor at our winter formal were interrupted by the customary semester exams. Ann ended her dramatic career as a student when she graduated at mid-term. Margie 1).. sorority treasurer, was wailing, But accounting and finance are my lowest ebb,” and Marie Adele complained. “Mother just doesn't understand why I must use her best saucepans for my specimens in zoology. Cass, known as Madam President, can exercise an influence of good humor that is practically incalculable. Then there’s Mac. whose red hair matches her person- ality in producing a bright ray of sunshine. Climaxing Spring Rushing was our pledge dance. Corky was on the job again as Chief cook and bottle washer and saw to it that we were royally entertained, which proves that blue jeans and Pitt Players aren’t her only interests. Peg, the vigorousSociology major, has always busied herself inquiring into our family backgrounds to get data for her family problems classes. The girl who’s known as Lou was chosen “Lady of the Evening” at a Lady Be Fit program in the interest of better posture. Our last affair was the Panhellenic Ball where we joined with all the other sororities on campus for the grand sorority finale. Commencement closed the term and our senior year was over. It passed so quickly, but it was great fun.

The first great thrill came at the 49th Founders’ Day Banquet when Miss 11clen Donaldson, a charter member, dedicated a chapter room in the sorority house in honor of her mother. That was the year that Sally Grotefend did a bang up job as president, and Nancy Drollinger really banged up the pledges as pledge mistress.

Hello there—I promised you a sketch of AKA’s activities this past year, so here rocs. Starting the school year with a bang, Iota Chapter celebrated Home-Coming at its traditional Autumn Nocturne. Social Chairman “Ollic” Hvatt really knows how to plan a good time! She hit the jackpot again with our annual Skate and Dance Party just before Thanksgiving. I still remember “Von” Jackson’s gracefulness in the Skater’s Circle Waltz. November also brought rushing which kept Chairman “Geri” Jones busy, not to forget “Bvrdic Robinson or “Libby” King, Dean of Pledges. Those gals really made the pledges step lively! After that whirl we initiated three new sorors, Sue Logan. Jennie Farrish. and Zerbie Dorsey. Now they’re having fun being authoritative Big Sisters. When Christmas Day rolled around, the sorority tramped out to the Children's Hospital early in the morning for our yearly caroling. It seems we never sounded better in spite of sore throats and colds. We hob-knobbed with a celebrity in January when famous AKA soror Marion Anderson gave a concert in Pittsburgh. Believe it or not, the reception committee was headed by a Marion Anderson, our sandy-haired program chairman. February was a busy month, too. After relaxing from exams at the Big and Little Sister's Party, we rolled up our sleeves and worked on our local project, the annual shower for the Davis Home for Children. In the spring we swung into our Health Week program as part of the sorority’s National Health Project. After we celebrated the closing of school with one final burst of frivolity, Jackie Ford signed the minutes for the last time. Pre.xv Helen Lee, with her usual composure and dignity, wound up all old business. Through all the stress and strain Mary Jane Mitchell had kept her pleasant disposition, and Lila Terry, her Mona Lisa smile. That accounts for Iota until this time next year.

Composed of representatives from every fraternity on campus, has again ended a year as governing body of fraternity activities. The Council stressed the keynote of cooperation which resulted in close alliance throughout the year with lhe Panhellenic Council and Student Congress. On the IF calendar were two informal dances, two formal dances, a Pledge Smoker, at which Fergie s|K)ke “totally unprepared” and got a higher llooiter rating than most comedians, a year round inter-fraternity sports program, and an IF sing where the Phi Gam Smoke Dreams was replaced l v the winning Phi Delt's rendition of Dry Bones. The formation of a Stray Greek organization was one of the outstanding features of the year. This group was made up of fraternity men whose frats were not represented on Pitt’s campus. By the close of the year these ('.reeks were participating fully in IF social affairs. The interfraternity Council closed the year with a report to the National IF Conference Session which reflected a spirit of goodwill and cooperation which will keep interfraternalism growing in the future.

Pitt Dolts have come a long way since Gamma Sigma chapter received its charter in 1914. For thirty years the Dolts have been growing with the University. The Dolts were abroad on campus before the Cathedral rose as a living monument to collegiate education, before “Jock” Sutherland’s teams scourged the nation’s gridirons, and before Pitt welcomed the unprecedented hosts of post-war students. The Delts have grown with Pitt, and the Delts anticipate a bright future for their school and their fraternity. For there’s a lot to this fraternity business, Dolt style. The Shelter at 4712 Bayard Street offers a second home, a popular Delt game room, and a loud-speaker system which sends music throughout the first floor and basement for both out-of-town Delts and their Pittsburgh brothers. On November 23,1947 the Dcltsalumsand actives honored the memories of brothers killed in World War 11 with the dedication of a memorial mantel and bronze plaque at the Shelter. The same spirit which motivated the dedication takes the Delts on a December Sunday evening each year to Trinity Cathedral for a special Delt service sponsored by the chapters from Pitt, Tech, and W. J. The Christmas Dinner Dance at South Hills Country Club, the more boisterous Bowery 228 Brawl, the Spring Formal, and the ('.old Bar sessions highlight the social calendar. In sports the Dolts are always listed in the first division, not always on top. but always playing the game, and adding a few trophies each year to the Delt collection. The Dolts have grown stronger and more mature over the years— they’ve survived two wars that have depleted fraternity ranks. They’re proud of their school and their fiat, and they are working for the best future for both. The officers for the year were as follows: President. William Riddle; Vice-President, John Moran; Secretary, James Huber; Treasurer. James Pullen. 229 PHI DELTA THETA I _1n THE HEARTS OF THE BROTHERS OF IOTA CHAPTER THE RAMBLING HOUSE ON DITHRIDGE STREET WILL EVER REMIND THEM OF UNDERGRAD DAYS Here come some of the brothers now.

September found brothers from all over the country meeting in Pittsburgh for the National Interim Meeting. As hosts, Pitt Chapter had its hands full preparing and executing the meetings and festivities for the three day session. National officers and chapter representatives hashed out problems and difficulties as well as | assing beneficial resolutions that made the Interim Meeting an interesting affair. Highlighting the social session, the Winter Formal was held January 30 at the Jacktown Hotel with music by Clyde Knight and his orchestra. Throughout the year, numerous tea and dessert dances at the house and at various sorority houses helped to brighten the long school weeks. House dances and parties made the weekends something to look forward to. To fill in a well rounded program of activities, Phi Kappa reactivated its Mother's Club, made the weekend retreat an annual affair, sponsored a series of open houses, participated in monthly Communion breakfasts, decorated the house with large banners, posters, and masques for each of the home football games, and participated wholeheartedly in school affairs. With the close of the year, Phi Kappa completed its first year in the new house at 152 X. Dithridge Street. Entirely redecorated inside and out, the house is a welcome abode for meetings, meals, and sacktime. The eighteen house men, with Mrs. Mac as housemother and Jack Henkle as house manager, find the house a perfect home-away-from-home. All of the present fifty actives take full advantage of its convenient location by dropping in daily to participate in bridge games, pingpong, or bull sessions. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Raymond Killeen; Vice-President, George Schumacher; Secretary, Edward Rawlings; Treasurer, Gerard Obert. 237 PI KAPPA ALPHA MAN CAN-AM) W1LL-TELL YOU THAT IN THE I BE FOUND SOME OF THE TOP LEADERS IN I “Why, Hollo Ralph.

We will remember Herb Franklin, the great pacifier; the “organization composed of third lloor men who battled for progressive principles against Tiny Frank and the traditionalists; Jock Siegel pacing nervously along the side lines as our football team battled for a victory that was sometimes forthcoming and sometimes not; Dave Laufc and Floyd Perky battling over seniority; Berky’sspeech nominating Laufc for plcdgcmastcr- Me uses big words”; Jack Schwartz calling, House Manager!

In their fresh coat of blue paint they sit solidly in front of a redecorated and refurnished frat house that exemplifies the progress made since the war. SAE’s spirits rose to great heights, that is, to the top of the porch roof where we had some of the Ix’st decorations on campus for the Ohio State game. The day was climaxed with our return with the goal posts from Pitt's only win of the season. Our athletic teams have started to regain some of the glory of past years, winning the IF bowling tournament last year and with good chances of repeating again this year. This year's football picture was an im- provement, thanks to Dick Johns and Pete Homich who are the hustlers in football, ping-pong, basketball, and bowling. Socially the chapter has always been on the ball. Who else had a winter formal centered around the Louis-Walcott fight? Rushing dances were more than just the run of the mill kind, thanks to Howard Davies, social chairman, as were our informal tea dances. At Christmas SAE joined with the Kappa's in throwing a party for orphan children, reviving an old local tradition. Bob Richardson. Bob White. Frank Davis, and Jay Baily are among the latest of the brothers who have jumped to the upper $90 a month bracket. To 242 call a few people some names, let’s not overlook Jack Barto, president, and Jack Mannsniann, who is always appearing with Barto, social chairman of IF; Lanny Govic, newly tapped into ODK; Jim Sweeney, booking for the East Liberty syndicate; Jack Gulley and Jack Marshall who arc alternately drilling through miles of concrete as they struggle to fix up the basement to include a coke bar, ping pong room, and a pool room. So life goes on at 244 North Bellefield where some are married, a few go steady, and most date the girl their buddy had out last Saturday. The officers for the year were as follows: President.

Pill DKLTA IS PHOUD OF THE PRESENT, HOPEFUL FOR THE FUTURE. I walked up to a table in the Commons Room yesterday afternoon and noticed two of my frat brothers arguing heatedly between spasms of highly concentrated attention on some pajn rs before them. Ah,” I mused, “it's fellows like these that keep our frat high in academic points. Upon closer observation, however, I noticed it was just Bertoni and Salvetti working out a football pool—each arguing with that I'm not always right, but I’m never wrong” tone. Shaking of athletics, Alpha Phi Delta is far from limited to the alx ve mentioned type of athletic interest. I'm proud of the fact that 1 can say our Inns have taken part in every IF sports event. Our small counterpart of the Touchdown Twins, Cavancate and lanni, really give the opposing teams plenty to worry about, and try to find a more consistently good bowler than Dad” Tomasino. At the time of the IF sing, the only thing you had to do to hear lusty imitations of anything from Caruso to Como was to bring up the subject while John. Floyd, and Mike were around. But. Believe me, they were good. Even though Johnny, the prez, that is, was kept in a dither by Butch about future wedding plans, he still found time to carry sixteen credits. Hats oft and congrats, John! Although Joe and Don are married men now, they are still active and ardent members, plus being swell officers. 'There is a new name out for one of the brothers, it’s “The Count,” not Monte Cristo or (Jasie. but “Me-Out.” I can’t understand him. he’s not even around when everything is free. (Jetting back to those pools, have you any suggestions for a winning ten-teamcr? I’ve got to catch up on my dues somehow, or Ralph Yannuzzi, our high pressure treasurer, will be giving me nightmares soon.

THERE AREN'T TOO MANY OF THEM, BIT WHO W ILL GET TO THE TOP TOGETHER. In 1927 the Lambda Chi's made their first appearance at the I’niversity of Pittsburgh. It was the fifty-first chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha. Since then, the fraternity has grown until now it has one hundred and twenty-three chapters. But why should I talk about the Lambda Chi’s? Come on down to the Tuck Shop and meet a few of them. There aren't many of them right now. but they’re an “on-the-ball” crowd. The big fellow there is Elmer Metz, and the serious looking one with him is Pete Guardino. Pete was the president when the frat reactivated less than a year ago. Here comes “Slim Sam Simpson—he holds the purse strings of Lambda Chi. The tall, good-looking boy with him is Jack Magee. The quiet fellow? Oh, that’s Dick Flicker. He's always quiet—he’s married. The Lambda Chi’s had their troubles when they first re- THEY ARE A LOYAL, CLOSELY KMT CROW D activated, but fellows like the ones I’ve mentioned and like our present president, Chuck DeMoskc, arc fine trouble-shooters. Due to the efforts of men like them, LamMa Chi is taking a prominent place in campus activities. Watch it! Here comes Marion Kranc. He's the joker. He’ll probably give Bob Rossel a hot foot or put salt in Mike Girman’s coffee. They’re a jovial bunch and they like a good time, but when tlx occasion calls for it, they can settle down and do some fine work. It's too bad John Steel isn't here. You should see him -the most bewildered secretary in captivity. Well, I’ll have to go now. but if you’re going to be at Pitt, you'll sec the Lambda Chi’s around. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Charles DeMoske; Secretary, Jack Steel; Treasurer, Sam Simpson. 252 wooden gates of the Stadium and the creaking doors of Trees Gym to the world of Pitt athletics. Here, as spectators or participants, we rounded out our education with lessons in sportsmanship and stamina. Through intramural sports, we learned the stimulus of keen athletic competition and the clean tiredness that goes with physical exertion. Watching varsity teams, we cheered a football upset victory or a swimming teams undefeated season. We marveled at clever ball-handling and deadly shooting by the basketball team. We were stirred when a Pitt man broke the tape in a sprint. Put we could not always applaud a winner. Walking slowly through the stadium gates, we found the weight of defeat far harder to bear than the frothy headiness of victory. And in losing, we learned, too, that defeat can be accepted without bitterness or rancor, that victory is not the only teacher. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARDS In an effort to accord Pitt’s outstanding athletes a measure of the recognition that comes to leaders in other fields of campus activity, the Owl this year inaugurates a new feature, the Most Valuable Player Awards. The deserving men whose pictures appear on this page have been elected to the honor by their teammates in a secret, mailed-in ballot conducted by the S|X)ris staff of the Owl. Unfortunately, our deadlines have made it impossible to include any s| ort which has its season ifter March, but we hope these others will Ik- included n future issues.

Janies Hagan Week after week the Pitt board of strategy tried desperately to work up an offense that could at least put a slight dent in the oppositions forward wall, but each Saturday the headlines of the city newspapers would read: Pitt Defense Good—Offense Nil. Even the traditional jinx which the Panthers had held over Penn State and West Virginia deserted the Blue and Gold as they plodded through the poorest and least colorful season of their history. Perhaps the most surprising factor of the 1947 Panther Coaching Staff, Timmons. Williams. Milligan, Mittcrling, C'assiano Cheerleaders give a Big Alleghanee . Cassiano is enjoying this! football season was the unusual and totally unexpected spirit shown by tin Pitt students. Through a greater part of the home games and even two of the away contests, the mystified rooters kept their pre-season promises of complete loyalty. The student cheering section, led by Ben Grady’s able cheerleaders, produced shreiks of glee when the Panthers would momentarily display their offensive abilities, and smiled approvingly at the antics of their finely clad Panther. The most sincere and most loudly exclaimed feelings pronounced during those Saturday afternoons were over the Marching Band. Under the direction of Robert Arthur the band's half time formations and music provided such a varied and colorful program that they were acclaimed among the top organizations in the nation. The return of a successfully operated demonstration block brought to an official end the war time restrictions of conservation at Pitt. The blue and gold capes once again added color and atmosphere to the stadium’s gray walls. These three factions, school spirit, the Marching Band, and the demonstration block, were responsible for the moral success of the campaign. 259 Top to lioltom: Birnic Barkouski; Hill Bruno; Bimbo Cccroni; Fred Cimino. Patterson of Illinois heads for open territory. Mike Milligan’s youthful Panthers opened their defensive season by surprising Illinois’ Rose Bowl Champions, holding them to an unimpressive 14-0 victory. The Illini drove deep into Panther territory twice in the first quarter, but were stopped both times on fumbles by Paul Patterson on the 24 and Russ Steger on the 8. The eager Pitt line, sparked by an end zone interception by Jimmy Joe Robinson, held firmly during the second and third quarters. Two minutes before the end of the third period the Panther backfield came to life for the first time and pushed the Illinois defense back to their own 37, but lost the ball on downs. Dwight Kddelman initiated the afternoons’ scoring in the final stanza, catching a 25 yard | ass from Perry Moss. Three plays later Kddelman ran Leo Skladany’s punt 40 yards for the final points. 2b0 Notre Dame' Livingston is tackled after receiving punt. The mighty Irish of Notre Dame, touted as the National Champions and possibly the greatest team of all time, were outplayed the entire first half before finally overpowering the Panthers 40-6. Midway in the first period Terry Brennan scooted 12 yards around left end for the initial score of the game. The Panthers came right back and gave the capacity crowd a thrill when Tony Di.Matteo ran Tony Oracko's kickoff 55 yards to the Irish 30 before being pulled down by the Notre Dame safet) man. A pass, Jack Sniodic to Bill McPeak, placed the ball on the 8. With third down and a foot to go Di.Matteo fumbled a low pass from center and Notre Dame recovered. Pitt struck back in the second quarter when McPeak recovered Frank Tripucka’s fumble on the Irish 20. Carl DePasqua scored, plunging seven yards through the center of the line. Notre Dame ended the first half scoring with a Johnny Lujack to Doug Waybright pass. The second half looked as though it would lx a repetition of the first, but after an exchange of punts the Irish, with Emil Sitkoand Lujack spearheading the attack, marched from their 20 to the Pitt 85. Lujack fired a pass to Martin for the tally. This set off a spark as Notre Dame’s reserve backs, Coy McGee and Lan Smith, took advantage of a fumble by Paul Rickards and an intercepted Bobby Lee pass to score the last Irish touchdowns. 261 Top to Bottom: l.cn Clcrc; Ralph Coleman: Bill Courv; Walt {Cummin . Look out below! I or the third straight week, the Panthers marched on the gridiron against a far superior foe. The Pit t men held Michigan scoreless through an evenly fought first quarter, but Frit Crisler’s Wolverines went on to give Pitt the worst beating of its football history. I he Michigan eleven started its scoring spree in the second quarter. Bob Chappius passing to Bob Mann for a 71 yard touchdown play. A little later Michigan came 55 yards to score as Jack Weisenburger plunged over from the 3. The third tally resulted when Bump Elliot intercepted Carl DePasqua’s wobbly pass and dashed 36 yards for a touchdown. The third quarter was barely underway when Gene Derricotte took Bill Hardisty's punt and ran 78 yards for the score. The fifth T. I), was a result of a 53 yard march culminated by a pass, Weisenburger to Mann. Walt Teninga accounted for the last score of the period, driving off tackle from the Pitt 2. The Wolverines were off again in the fourth quarter with Teninga snatching an aerial from Bill Peterson to rack up another tally. A drive of 48 yards ended in the scoring lanes. Again Peterson spelled “finis to the afternoon’s scoring. Top to Bottom: Jim Pol.ong; ';irl l)e-Pasoua; Tom DiMattco; Trank Farr-ell. 262 Sorry, this is as far as you go. Despite their customary first quarter stubbornness, the Panthers' were unable to stave off a powerful Indiana team, bowing: 41-6. The Panthers opened the game as if determined to register an upset, h ollowing the kickoff. Jack Smodic passed into the waiting arms of Bill McPeak for a 41 yard gain to the Hoosier 47. Two plays failed to gain and on the third Tony DiMatteo fumbled and Indiana recovered. The second quarter was eight minutes old before the Hoosicrs could break into the scoring column. Dick Deranek tallied on a reverse from Chick Jagade, the play covering 20 yards. After recovering a fumble by Walt Cummins, George Taliaferro and Mel Groomcs worked a screen pass from the Pitt 31 fora touchdown. Before the half was completed. Indiana moved 90 yards to score again on a pass, Taliaferro to Jagade. The Hoosicrs hit the scoring trail again in the third quarter when Lou Mijalovich intercepted Carl DePasqua’s pass and raced the remaining 20 yards for a touchdown. The Panthers then began a sustained drive of 90 yards. Lindy Lauro charged through the Indiana line for three first downs and the ball rested on the Pitt 42. A long pass, Lou Cecconi to McPeak. accounted for the tally.

In the fourth stanza, Taliaferro circled left end from the Pitt 1 to score Indiana's fifth touchdown. A brilliant 60 yard run again by Taliaferro climaxed the Hoosier's last scoring drive. After eight years and twenty-four consecutive defeats at the hands of Western Conference teams, the vengeful Panthers clawed their way to an upset 12-0 victory over Ohio State to break the jinx; the pre-game cry of ‘‘Mess Wes” became a reality. The Pitt men capitalized on four Buckeye fumbles and the trusty kicking of Bill Hardisty to register their first mark in the win column. Neither team threatened seriously in the first or the early part of the second quarter with Pete Perini and Hardisty engaging in a battle of the toes. With only a few minutes remaining in the half, Perini’s kick from his own 15 went out of bounds on the Buckeye 29. From that point Pitt took to the air waves. A pass, Paul Rickards to Carl DcPasqua, netted 9 yards. Then DePasqua stepped back and flipped a short one to Walt Cummins for 2 yards, and Smodic moved the sticks to the 5 on an aerial to DePasqua. Tony Di.Matteocrashed through right guard for 264 The price of victory. Highlights of Panther Triumph. the first score of the game. Early in the third quarter, the Bucks took over on their own 35 and marched to the Panther 2.

In the final period, Jimmy Joe Robinson took Perini's punt on the Ohio State 34 and raced to the 30. Lindy Lauro passed to Bill McPeak for eight yards and Lou Cecconi slipjxxl through tackle to the 15. DcPasqua passed to Cecconi for 7 more, yards and Di.Matteo carried for another first down on the 5. Three line attempts failed, but DcPasqua aerialed to Cecconi on the goal line who stepped ov r for the second touchdown. The action during the regulation 60 minutes of pla was completely overshadowed by the celebrations, planned and unplanned, engineered by the victory-starved Panther rooters. Carnegie Tech, Duqucsnc, and even P. C. V. felt the brunt of the victory celebration as emancipated Pitt students took a dav off to make merry.

For three grueling quarters, the Panthers held the Gophers to a lone touchdown before the weight and depth of Minnesota transformed an otherwise tight ball game into Pitt’s fifth notch in the negative side of the win-and-loss column. The Gopher's first touchdown came in the initial quarter. Bill Hardisty, booting hurriedly from his own 25. angled his kick and the ball went out of bounds on the Pitt 42.

In the closing minutes of the game, the Gophers took the ball on the Pitt 23. Three plays later. Frank Brown scored from the 15. 266 It was the same cast that had played in last year’s thrilling 10-8 game, but the script was different as the Purdue men trampled reserveless and demoralized Panthers 28-0.

West Virginia’s men scored their first touchdown in the opening quarter. A pass. Tom Keane to Frank Reno, advanced the ball to the Pitt 24. Rex Baumgardner’s 21 yard run advanced the ball to the 3 where Keane on the second play slipped over on a quarter back sneak.

By stressing control of the ball the Panthers managed to completely confuse a majority of their opponents to such a degree that in many cases, the game would be held up until the opposition could regain its wits. Although this type of basketball proved unpleasant to the action-craving fans, many of the nations’ top authorities praised the Carlson method. The Panthers quickly forgot their optimistic coach’s cry of Win ’Em All when they dropjx-d the first six games of the season, three to Western Conference teams and three to opponents from the south. The initial victory of the campaign was gained at Loyola in New Orleans by a two point margin. This was the beginning of a very welcome five game win streak. Penn State. Carnegie Tech.

B A S E B A L L Chalking up their best seasonal record since 1941, the Pitt baseball team wound up the 1947 card with five victories and three defeats. Originally scheduled for twenty games, the Panthers had their season curtailed so that the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera Company could use the stadium making it impossible for the squad to play after May 6. Spring rains hampered practices considerably, but on opening day with California State Teachers, Ralph Mitterling's boys proved that they were on the upward swing in collegiate baseball, by winning 13-8. The Panthers then traveled to Salem where they defeated the Salemites 9-5. with Dodo Canterna claiming the batting honors with a homer, double and a single. Moving back to the stadium, they made it three in a row by setting down West Virginia, 7-5. Pitt's three game winning streak was snapped by Juniata when the Indians throttled the Panthers 8-2. California again proved easy prey as the Jungle Cats had a field day at the batting cage. The final score, 9-1. The next stadium attraction was halted by rain after live full innings of play with the Pitt men leading Clarion Teachers 5-3. The last two games of the year were played at home against Penn State on successive days. In the first game the Lion strategy proved superior to that of the home team as they emerged victors by a 7-1 score. The closing tilt was marred by errors and shoddy pitching. The Staters took full advantage of these mistakes to come out on top of a 7-2 score. The hitting and pitching honors for the season were taken by John Wasiecko and Dcryl Caldcr. Wasiecko posted a .415 batting average, collecting ten hits at twenty-four times at bat. Caldcr led the pitchers with three wins and one loss, hurling three complete contests. 278 Coach Ralph Wittcrling Pitt 13 California State Teachers 8 Pitt 9 Salem 5 Pitt 7 West Virginia 5 Pitt 2 Juaniata 8 Pitt 9 California State Teachers 1 Pitt 5 Clarion 3 Pitt 1 Penn State 7 Pitt 2 Penn State 7 Barnes chalks one up He didn’t make it! 279 T E X N I S First How: S.

Coached by Dr. David O'Loughlin, the Pitt tennis team handicapped by lack of suitable facilities and inclement weather, failed to win a match in the 1947 season. In the opening match with Army, the Cadets walked off the court victorious, despite the fact that the Panthers took two of the three double's games. Baid-Harmuth and Clinton-Campbell were the winning pairs. The next opponent, Ohio State, handed the Pitt boys their second defeat with the doubles team of Bald and Weil providing the only local points of the afternoon. In losing the last match of the season with Penn State the Panthers won their first single match liesides taking their fourth doubles game of the year. The outlook of the 1948 season cannot be brightened because the same inadequate facilities will lx used. The only possible consolation will be the experience gained during the past year. TEAM RECORD Pitt 2 Army 7 Pitt I Ohio State 8 Pitt 2 Penn State 7 GOLF The Pitt golf team was held to a winless season by seven Eastern teams. Outstanding among the chippers were Kunkle, Mohr and Martin who won seven, tied two and lost ten contests. The most successful doubles team was that of Martin and Mohr which won two of its four matches. The Panther squad scored a total of 12 points with the opposition totalling 54 points. The most embarrassing defeats of the season were the two to West Virginia and the three to Penn State. The more experienced Mountaineers and Lions took the Pitt representatives with apparent case, running up 37 points against 11. The most consoling factor of these defeats was the comparative closeness of the second Penn State match, in which there was only a three point difference in scores.

For the last three years the Panthers have taken all comers and given no quarter. This year, with all but three meets scored, the riflemen can boast of better than ninety per-cent victories over some of the toughest competition the nation can offer. Doubly sweet to the boys behind the guns was the fact that they have defeated all of the Western Con- ference teams. In intersectional competition the big Nine represents the toughest opponents the Panthers face and they fell before the accurate fire of the Pitt men. Still to lx- fired are the William Randolph Hcarst match and the Second Army competition. If past records are any criteria, the Blue and Gold can make room in the trophy case for the prizes offered at these meets.

The 1947 intramural plans included football, basketball, bowling, volleyball, ping pong and softball. The football race was the most exciting and most observed in the history of intramurals at the University. Both the Locals and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity emerged undefeated in their respective leagues. File first playoff resulted in a 6-6 tie. The; following game, played before close to a thousand spectators, was won by PiKA 7-2. The Greeks then went on to defeat the Carnegie Tech intramural champions in the second annual inter-school playoff. With the bruises acquired during the six man football season barely healed the basketball campaign swung into full operation. This too was a heated race with the Educators of the Cosmopolitan League, the most prominent squad. They consisted of members of the varsity football team and displayed their basket- l.a t lap coming up 282 PiKa All-City Intramural Champs hall talents exceedingly well. Top team in the fraternity loop was the Phi Epsilon Pi Aggregation. The Phi Eps came through the scheduled contests with only one setback and then went on undefeated in the round robin playoffs to be crowned champions of the frat group. In bowling the Locals and the PiKA’s repeated as leaders in their own sections. The fraternity men showed exceptional form in losing only seven matches to the rest of the Greek pin men. Director Leo Bemis hoped for equal success in the results of the remaining two winter competitions of volleyball and ping pong and also in the springtime s|x rt, softball. In contrast to the problems of the varsity sports, intramurals have been blessed with adequate facilities for two of the three major competitions, football and softball. The acquisition of Ellsworth Center provided a supplement to the field atop Trees Gym thus enabling a well planned and well carried out intra-faction program.

We pass through the entrances to the ballrooms at the Schenley and the William Penn, through the crowded doors of Soldiers and Sailors at a pep rally, through the draped archways of Stephen Foster, and through the glass doors of the 'Puck Shops to look again at the social side of our college days. Here we relaxed from the cares of the classroom and completed that cycle known as the “well-rounded” education. In keeping with the effort to re. capture the lighter moments of Pitt life, the Owl goes informal in this, its last section, and hopes to end on a note of gaiety.

Mill Leroy's orchestra in the main ballroom, and Joey Simms' band in the Lrban Hoorn of the W illiam Penn Hotel provided the music for the affair. After a long summer respite the dancers were pleased with the chance to brush upon their latest steps. Highlighting the evening was the large and varied group of intermission features: the opposing football coaches, Mike Milligan and Frank l-eahy: the six varsity and six junior varsity cheerleaders who got a chance to cavort with the Pitt Panther. Jack Crimes; and other local personalities. Training regulations kept the opposing football teams from being present. Novel football favors were given to the girls as souveniers of the 1947 season. For the thirstx attendants of the dance, the committee provided a coke bar. The Interfraternity Council did an admirable job in launching the fraternity social program for the fall semester.

One of the greatest rewards of guiding the production of this l ook has Inen my association with these people. Most of them receive little recognition for their service and ask none. While written words do not suffice to express my gratitude, I should like to take this last bit of space for a brief acknowledgment of my appreciation. First, a heartfelt well done” to every member of this year's editorial and business staffs. Each of you has made a substantial contribution to the book, and, though space does not permit mention of your individual parts, I hope that you will find a reward in the finished result of our combined effort. In particular. I should like to thank the following people for assistance, willingly given, that went far beyond anything that was my right to ask: Mavis Lokffler. Associate Editor and my girl Friday, without whom I might never have got the book to press. Her contribution is immeasurable. I can only offer one more Thanks. ■.Mav for being ever-willing to do more than could Ik- expected of anyone and for that wonderful smile that never faded and kept all of us going through the darkest moments' The photographers, and especially Jayne Bibby and Photo Editor John Kcliguski. for their great sacrifices of time and sleep, for painstaking work, and for never failing to come through on the last-minute assignments that came all too often. Pat Hknegiian and Lee Karageorge, our two old stand-bys who were always ready to tackle the unpleasant jobs, for their ability to put up with anything including the Editor’s bad disposition. Bill McElxvain, our Faculty Advisor, for his friendly prodding when we needed it and for many helpful suggestions. Mrs. Agnes Lynch Starrett, University Editor, for the confidence in us which often seemed over-confidence but which kept us going when the job seemed int|)ossible. Mr. Wendell Gullion for invaluable advice on technical problems. Mr. Ted Bowman for his excellent lettering on the division pages. Mr. Rollins Haddock, Mr. Bob Iiirig, and Mr. Bill Schleutter of the Jahn and Ollier Engraving Co. for their advice and assistance with engraving problems. Mr. Paul Miller of Ashby Inc., our printer, for his exceptional cooperation, his patience with our mistakes, and his willingness to put in long hours of unrewarded overtime in the last-ditch fight to get the book out on time without sacrificing quality.
