VOLUAAE 57 8HBH[ The Table Of Contents Large enough to offer a wide variety of courses, activities, and social events; small enough for the personal touch I was the phrase used by the official publication of the Wisconsin State System in describing its nine state universities. This description accurately characterizes the growth experienced by the River Falls campus both in enrollment and in educational facilities. The record number of approximately 1200 freshmen which increased total enrollment to 4,052 portrays the fact that River Falls is a growing school, yet a school where students are still identified by name. The fact that both the newly enrolled freshmen and returning upperclassmen, upon returning in the fall of 1968, were welcomed with the opening of two newly constructed dormitories plus the addition of a student center and food and recreation area shows that the university system is not only expectant of but also prepared for its growing enrollment. A two-floor addition to the library, opened in late November, and the origin of a campus radio station early in November also characterized the forward progression of the university and its students. The Board of Regents, quite obviously with its eye to future intellectual and physical growth, appointed former University of Wisconsin Vice President Dr. George R. Field as its president on August 1,1968. Field, a relatively young college president at 39, replaced Dr. Richard J. Delorit, academic vice president at River Falls, who served as acting president during the 1967-68 school year. Generally, students, in walking from class to class, idea to idea, belief to belief, on the R F campus, throughout the 1968-69 school year, found it a time of pleasant change and stimulating growth. 5 The Old Library Makes Way For The New Additional Space The new library annex was opened for use by the beginning of winter quarter. The large annex added to the Chalmer Davee Library has provided the space for large-scale expansion of present jibrary facilities and an addition to present student services. The $1,300,000 building is constructed on a two-floor, highly versatile plan. The second floor will house 10 classrooms and many faculty offices which can quickly be converted into library facilities when necessary. A few of the facilities available on the main floor include two reserve desks, expanded stack facilities, a music listening room and a furnished typewriter room, a large periodical room and individual study coves. A collection of rare books will be displayed in a small room with space for additions. The basement area of the library will contain expanded facilities for the audio visual department, the textbook library, a museum, IBM equipment, reading rooms, a library science classroom and other uses. 7 Hagestad Student Center 1968-69 The Student Center is a place of study and relaxation. The Bookstore supplies the students with most of their required reading materials as well as entertaining literature.

Androcles and The Lion, written by George Bernard Shaw and directed by Dr. Blanche Davis, was enacted by Len Larson, playing Androcles; Darlene Poppe, playing Megaera (his wife); and Bruce Reynolds cast as the Lion. The scene played was the prologue based on an early fable. It establishes the low reputation for the then new religion, Christianity.

Caw Claire runner A SURE THING THIS TIME! Radio Station Begins WRFW, the new educational FM radio station of Wisconsin State UniversityāRiver Falls, began operation Saturday, Nov. 2. Day 1, with an introduction from Lorin Robinson, faculty manager of WRFW, began at 1 p.m. covering the River Falls -Stevens Point football game. The station has potential to reach a large portion of Pierce and St. Croix counties. It will, according to Michael Norman, news director, try to provide the fullest and most competent coverage of campus and community news. The 350-watt output is 35 times more powerful than the majority of State University stations, said Robinson. WRFW is one of less than twelve educational University FM stations in Wisconsin and one of less than 400 in the United States. āThe Little Foxesā The Little Foxes ' directed by Dr. Josephine Paterek, began a five-night run in the Little Theatre located in the basement of the Davee Library. The play, written by Lillian Hell-man, centers on the ambitions of the Hubbard family at the turn of the 19th century. The Hubbard brothers, Benjamin (Jim Davis) and Oscar (Ted Swanson) together with their sister Regina (Linda Draves) plan on becoming millionaires after they convince William Marshal (Bruce Harstad) to construct cotton milk in the South. To close the deal, each is to contribute $75,000. There are four classes of Idols which beset men's minds. To these for distinction's sake I have assigned names calling the first class. Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave, the third, Idols of the Market-place; the fourth. Idols of the Theatre. NOVUM ORGANUM Horace (Dan Gauvin), Regina's husband, does not say whether or not he will donate his and Regina's share. Regina uses his silence to bargain for a larger share of the profits. She gets her way at the expense of Oscar who is appeased by the subtle hinting that his son Leo (Jim Bancroft) will marry Regina's daughter, Alexandria (Judy Lerum) and will have the increased share. But when the sickly Horace refuses to contribute toward the venture, Benjamin and Oscar, with the help of Leo, seek to get the needed money in another way. All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages.

Swim team loses to poor grades but keeps quality Quality but not quantity, this U the beat way to describe the 1968-1969 Wisconsin State University-River Falls swimming squad. Going Into the first meet, head Coach Michael Davis bad only five experienced swimmers, and two Inexperienced divers to work with. Da via has lost several courted upon swimmers to poor grades, as well as ace sophomore Lee Wright, last years most improved swimmer, who captured third and fifth place medals In the conference meet Wright Is recovering from mononucleosis. In regard to Ms lack of swimmers Coach Davis commented, āWe have five excellent swimmers, but with only five fellows, you can't run a Ml meet. In the Falcons first meet, it came down to the final event as to who would win, but the RF tankers had to forfeit the event, because each swimmer had swam Ms maximum of three times. TO compensate for their lack of depth. Coach Davis has been stressing conditioning with workouts twice a day. I don't expect the best dual meet record, but 1 think we can do a fairly representative job as far as our times in comparison to the other conference schools.

Watson has appeared in nearly 30 Broadway plays, several cross country and summer stock plays, 25 Shakespearean productions, in motion pictures, as well as on several television productions. Watson stated, The style of the theatre is outdated. It's dying because it's about 50 years behind our culture and lagging way behind art and music. Movies and TV have passed it by, but the theatre still hasn't changed. It has to find a form of its own.

The theme of the conference was Government and Money: Who Pays, Who Benefits? Ody Fish, Republican Party chairman, speaking at the conference summed up his party's position by stating, If people want something, they must be willing to pay for it. If the Republicans are not guilty of misleading the people, they are certainly guilty of incompetence, said James Wimmer, chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, in a speech which kicked off the conference. 1 st Annual Journalism Day The first annual Journalism Day at WSU-RF provided a chance for students and faculty to discuss the role of the press in American society. Journalists who participated include: Joe Rigert, of the editorial staff of the Minneapolis Tribune; Mary Kyle, editor of the Twin City Courier; and Jim Broman, news director for WCCO radio in the Twin Cities. 101 Floods, Anybody? i In the spring students from River Falls helped sandbag along the St. Croix River.

Dr. Donald Pollack Education Bachelor of Science, Milwaukee State Teacher's College Master of Education and PH., University of WisconsināMadison Ed. D., University of Colorado. Since Dr. Pollack has become a part of the River Falls education staff, he has tried to make the student more aware of the philosophy behind teaching. At this time, Jerry Sines of the education department is working on a case study to evaluate teaching methods. He hopes his findings will help students to learn faster and to develop their own interest sooner. The education department feels more men and women are choosing to graduate with education as part of their academic degree. Dr. Pollack thinks that the department is well equipped to give the best knowledge available to the students in the field of education. Jean M. Benedict Hudson, Wis. Elementary Ed. B.S. Lonnie R.

Fortin Library Science Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, University of Minnesota Expanded quarters will allow an expanded program in library science, and these are the most useful courses that a student can take, according to Fortin. They will make him more perceptive and a better student as well as enabling him to make better use of the library. Many students take library science courses for just that reason, and not because they intend to be professional librarians. Fortin keeps that fact in mind as he teaches his courses. There is an unlimited demand for graduates in the area of library science, Fortin says, with about 20 positions available for each graduate. 115 Education Graduates 1969 Evelyn Freeburg Hastings, Minn, Elementary Ed.

English Bachelor of Science, New York University Doctor of Philosophy, New York University According to Dr. Karolides, the addition of seven English instructors this year has added a new look in the English department, which has tripled in the last five years. He believes that River Falls is somewhat ahead of other schools' English programs in that it requires adult and children's literature for prospective elementary and secondary school teachers in addition to its wide offering of literature and other English courses. Only two schools in the state require adult literature for a major. Karolides, who feels that he must teach to stay with it, is the editor of the Wisconsin Education Journal, the publication of the Wisconsin Council of Teachers of English. He is also the secretary of the Faculty Senate. David P. Johnson Turtle Lake, Wis. Math 6.S. Judy Johnson Spooner, Wis. Elementary Ed. fl.S. Educate The Mind And Stay Healthy! Rial Smith Physical Education Bachelor of Science, Upper Iowa University Master of Science, Wisconsin State UniversityāLa Crosse Additional graduate work. University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota A perfect department is never reached, Smith says, but a good feature of the physical education department is that it is always trying to improve. The program is student-oriented. He finds that there is a closeness between students and teachers which prevents the teacher from growing old. Smith says he loves to work with youngsters and he loves to teach. He looks for changes in the department in the near future, including a proposed major in men's physical education. He feels that the phy ed minor at River Falls is extremely strong, since minors are required to take only three hours less than the major requirements at La Crosse. 120 Physical Education Is Part Of College Too!

Harris Psychology Bachelor of Education, University of Wisconsinā Milwaukee Master of Philosophy, Doctor of Philosophy, University of WisconsināMadison After teaching in the public schools in Iowa for eight years, and also at Bradley University, Harris came to River Falls where he is now in his 18th year. He has served as consultant for the reformatory at Red Wing and for Mount Pleasant Hospital and now works in the area of vocational rehabilitation for the state of Wisconsin. There is great competition for psychologists, Harris says, among universities and between universities and industry. The department at River Falls offers the master's program in several areas and enrollment is growing rapidly. 123 Mathematics 1969 Dr. Alwin Parker Mathematics Bachelor of Arts, Northwest Louisiana State College Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Louisiana State University The math department has expanded its graduate program and its computer program, so much so that extra staff is needed. Parker feels that the math department compares favorably with any department offering master's program. Personally, he enjoys working with the freshmen. He feels that he has the gifts of patience and understanding needed for the task. Education Graduates 1969 Ruth Jean Kringle Webster, Wis. French B.S. Margo LaBuwi Monroe, Wis. Elementary Ed. B.S.

Brod Journalism Bachelor of Arts, Southeast Missouri State College Master of Arts in Journalism, University of Missouri Doctor of Philosophy, University of Minnesota Increased enrollment in journalism courses has allowed the department to add some new coursesāin advanced photography, international communications, and broadcast journalism. The addition of Radio Station WRFW has meant that the department has been able to replace its one course in broadcast journalism with a full-year broadcast emphasis. The station is just a part of a well-developed journalism program that serves about 70 majors, Brod said. Even the students in the broadcast courses must take basic journalism courses first, he said, because we want them to be journalists first, then broadcasters. The department has three main functions: First, to train and educate future journalists,- second, to train high school teachers of journalism; and third, to provide other students with an introduction to the mass media. Brod feels that all the staff members are excellent and dedicated to their work. All have excellent academic credentials and backgrounds in the mass media, he said. 127 Education Graduates 1969 James R. Olson White Bear Lake, Minn. History B.S. Kenneth L.

The only other ag econ program in the State University system is at Platteville, and there the emphasis is on engineering. Elefson said the River Falls department is looking forward to changes. The staff members are developing an undergraduate major and want to add another faculty member. Agriculture Academxcs A 9 69 IN THE FUTURE Animal Science At River Falls Will Play A Big Role Dr. Don D. Hargrove Animal Science Bachelor of Science, Oklahoma State University Doctor of Philosophy, University of Florida Dr. Hargrove feels that because of a greater availability of material and information in the animal science department, the students at River Falls are better trained and consequently have greater opportunities than ever before. He firmly believes that the department will continue to expandāespecially with the addition of a Food Science major next fall.

He lauds the fact that the university has recently added a major in Earth Science to its geology minor. He also hopes that the River Falls geology department can expand materially in the next few years and also expand its staff. He feels that the addition of a Geology Club, plans which include laboratory sections for introductory geology classes next year, and an offered summer geology camp in Bighorn Basin at Shell, Wyoming for River Falls students, are big steps in the right direction.

University of Minnesota Mrs. Barrett, who has taught previously at Wayne (Neb.) State College and the University of Minnesota, feels that the River Falls geography department is one of the smallest and youngest in the system, but also one of the most aggressive. The department is interested in new programs, such as the cartography program that it is developing now. Such a program will be the only one in the State University system. Mrs. Barrett would like to see the organization of a Geography Club. The 50 majors have shown an interest and like the idea of taking field excursions as a dub. Mrs. Barrett enjoys teaching at River Falls. She feels the students are interesting and says, They aren't afraid to ask questions and are concerned with exploring new factors. 151 Arts And Sciences Graduates 1969 Erlnnd Bragcr Alma Center, Wis. Biology BS. Dr. Richard K. Darr Economics Wayne W. Brown Neillsville, Wis. Broad Area Sd. BĀ£. Bachelor of Arts, Midland College Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Nebraska Dr. Darr, who has also attended Harvard and Michigan State universities and has taught at Eastern Illinois University and the University of Nebraska, sees a problem in recruiting teachers in economics. More than 90 per cent of those graduating with bachelor's degrees go into private business and industry, and those with Ph.D.'s go mostly into government. But Darr feels .that students learn if they want to, in spite of the faculty. Darr sees the need for more economics teachers at River Falls so that more courses can be offered. Courses should be added in international trade and in welfare. Also, the business administration and economics areas will become separate operations. Terry E. Budworth New Richmond, Wis. Biology B.S. Grace Eunice Butler Amery, Wis. Medical Tech. B.S. New Chairman Of The Music Department, 1969 Elliot R. Wold Musk B.M., Concordia College, Moorhead M.M., University of Wisconsin Mr. Wold sees at River Falls a constant forging forward in all departments of musicāespecially contemporary music which promotes and reflects the attitudes of our age. He cites River Falls as having the strongest over-all music curriculum in direct contrast to other universities at which he has previously taught (which include Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and Concordia College at Moorhead, Minnesota). Over-all, he feels that though students are made to work hard at River Falls, the rewards are great for both the faculty and the students. He sees student involvement as increasing and thus believes that River Falls will be one of the best universities in the area. Arts And Sciences Graduates 1969 Dr. James Richardson Biology Master of Science, Southern Illinois University Doctor of Philosophy, University of Kansas Dr. Richardson feels that River Falls has a good biology department, with increasing facilities and an active research program. He has always liked science, Richardson says. He likes teaching botany but also enjoys the general biology course because he is able to work with more students. The students have a good attitude, Richardson says. They are eager and willing to learn. Judith Lynn Cameron Hudson, WIs. Psych, and Soc. B.S. Donna Carlson Stillwater, Minn. Soc. and Psych. B.S.

William Ammerman Art Bachelor of Science, Pennsylvania State University Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, University of Iowa The River Falls art department is the best in the state system, Ammerman says flatly. He cites a stable faculty that works well together and has stayed together and which is big enough to provide specialists to handle the various areas of instruction. River Falls students make good showings in art shows and in graduate schools, he says, because they have good, solid backgrounds and are competent in specialized fields. The faculty members, Ammerman says, are ambitious, innovative, never satisfied with things as they are. Dr. Richard D. Swensen Chemistry Bachelor of Arts, Wartburg College Doctor of Philosophy, University of Iowa Thomas J. Daniels Weyerhauser, Wis. Bus. Admin. B.S Dr. Swensen feels that the success of the River Falls chemistry department lies in the great number of individuals who, after graduating from this department, go on to teaching, engineering, or to graduate schools where they receive their Ph.D.'s. He states that within the chemistry department the emphasis has been put on program of learning and individual help for the student. In this way, the staff maintains personal interest in students and, Swensen concludes, this is the principle key to the success of this university.

Ph.D., University of Utrecht, Holland Dr. Bailey has seen the sociology department grow from a staff of two to over nine, since he has been at River Falls. (With this rapid growth, the sociology department will be getting a master's program in the near future.) Dr. Bailey is very interested in the Study Abroad Program. He thinks the students should experience actual contact with the people and do field research in a foreign country to gain a better understanding of them. Dr. Bailey said he would like to see more foreign students at River Falls because it would give us a better chance to learn about each other. Criminology, Racial and Cultural Minorities are two of the classes which Dr. Bailey likes to teach. And here also, field research is the most important part of his class routine. 164 Arts And Sciences Graduates 1969 Michaal W. Sawyer Melrose, Wis. .Sociology B.S. Jeffrey Schroeder Milwaukee, Wis. Animal Science B.S. Dr. Curtiss O. Larson Physics Bachelor of Science, Wisconsin State UniversityāRiver Falls Doctor of Philosophy, Case Institute of Technology Dr. Larson feels that students in education have needs which differ from the needs of students in liberal arts, and he doesn't feel that all departments are doing enough to meet these different needs. He thinks that the physics department is a good one and that the staff is well trained and sensitive to human needs. He considers the teachers well qualified and interested in teaching. Larson enjoys working with undergraduates. Arts And Sciences Graduates 1969 Sanford D. Syse Speech Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, University of Wisconsin I was sitting on a hill in Korea one day and decided I wanted to go into the theater. And so Syse is a part of the theater program at River Falls after a teaching stint at the University of Illinois. Syse believes the River Falls theater program has the best quality by far in the State University system, but poor facilities. The department is getting better equipment and more funds, however, he says. He likes to bring professional actors to campus to expose students to their work. There is a close working relationship at River Falls between students and faculty, according to Syse, and students are the most exciting people in the world. David A. Svacina Rice Lake, WlĀ .

B.S. Ronald J. Zignego Wood vi lie, Wisconsin Economics BS. John W. Mercer Political Science B.A., M.S., Flpride State Q. Do you think that it is important for teachers and students to be involved with -students outside the classroom? A. Yes ... The classroom is sometimes confining. Both teachers and students can benefit from the contact outside the classroom. The setting outside the classroom may be where the learning experience actually begins ... Unfortunately such contacts do not occur as often as one might wish. Q. Why? A. Lack of time is part of the reason, I suppose. Also, part of the reason is that both the student and the teacher might feel uncomfortable outside the classroom. The formality of the classroom and the learned behavior that ensues create a comfortable, if not necessarily creative and stimulating, situation for both the student and the teacher ... Outside this structure both the student and the teacher must stand and be judged as individuals, not titles or numbers. 167 Organizations 1969 America the Beautiful America! America!

The River Falls Agrifalllons Society was organized on January 8, 1959. Membership is open to all students in the non-teaching fields of agriculture. The purpose of our society is to promote fellowship and to further acquaint students with the professional and vocational opportunities in the field of agriculture. Speakers from various areas of agriculture are invited to speak to the group. Through speakers, we become acquainted with the internal functioning of management and new ideas of businesses. This club, in conjunction with the Ag. Ed. Club, annually sponsors the River Falls Royal. This is a fitting and showing contest, with classes of beef, sheep, swine, and dairy selected from the Laboratory Farm. Trophies and ribbons are given to the contestants. The Ag Banquet is another activity sponsored and open to all students. It consists of a dinner at a supper dub in the area, at which time the teachers are presented witty gifts, as token of the students' appreciation. Also each spring the agriculture picnic is held at Glen Park and includes a fry-out and baseball game between the faculty and seniors. The bull is placed in front of the Ag Science Building on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, as a meeting reminder.

Alpha Gamma Rho 1969 Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity was established on the WSUāRF campus in the fall of 1964. Since that time it has had a very eventful history. In the fall of 1967 Alpha Gamma Rho purchased the first fraternity house on campus and set up a food service to feed approximately 45 men of the fraternity. The date May 4, 1968 will always be remembered by Alpha Gamma Rhos on the River Falls campus because that was the day they became Alpha Psi chapter of the Alpha Gamma Rho national fraternity. The school year of 1968-69 has been very eventful for all of the AGR's. The year's activities were set in motion in September with a chicken barbecue the weekend of the Little East-West Shrine game. A portion of the profit was donated to the Shriners. Homecoming was the next social event in which Alpha Gamma Rho participated. It was very successful with AGR taking all but one event and placing first overall in the men's division. Winter Carnival was not quite as successful: Alpha Gamma Rho placed third overall. With Alpha Gamma Rho placing first overall in the Foundation Week activities, it became the No. 1 social organization on campus for the 1968-69 school year. Two.other very important things have happened to Alpha Gamma Rho this year too. First was the beginning of construction of the addition to the fraternity house which will house the fraternity's members. The second was the hiring of Mom York, our housemother, whom we have found to be a very gracious lady willing to assist us in any way she can.

It was born in the belief that all men are social creatures and that friendships of college men are lasting ones. Sigma Tau Gamma is dedicated to the highest ideals of manhood and brotherhood; to congeniality, the development of good personal characteristics and social poise; to good scholarship, mature thinking and action; to good citizenship, democratic principles and acceptance of responsibility; and, to loyalty and service to college, community, country and fraternity. It believes in the principles of: Learning, Leadership, Value, Excellence, Benefit, Integrity. Gamma Nu Chapter at WSUāRiver Falls was chartered on May 17, 1969, as the 64th active chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma. We had our start in 1963 when Sigma Rho local was established on campus. We have been known as an academically orientated fraternity, and also for many service projects for school and community. We have initiated several new events such as the school calendar and dance, bratwurst fries, White Rose Formal, and pancake fests, along with participating in all other school activities.

Phi Nu Chi is a social organization devoted to the betterment of community-university relations, an organization soliciting membership from all walks of campus life who have the common goal of a realization of their individual ideals through a unified group. Phi Nu Chi actually recruits students to WSU-RF along with collecting for the United Fund. An annual snowmobile raffle using much of the proceeds to sponsor orphans and other worthwhile causes are always prevalent in the eyes of the members.

The fraternity was organized in January of 1963 as Sigma Tau Epsilon and has grown and prospered every year since. In the fall of 1967 the school regulation prohibiting national fraternities from campus was lifted and Sig Tau began the search for a national organization whose goals and purposes came closest to our own. The search culminated on February 10, 1968, when after studying six national groups, Sig Tau decided to ask Theta Chi for affiliation. We were installed as Zeta Sigma chapter of Theta Chi on June 1,1968. Theta Chi in the past few years has shown increasing leadership on campus in social and intellectual activities. We have received the outstanding social organization award for Homecoming for 1966 and 1967. Theta Chi has won outstanding organization honors for Foundation Week in 1966, 1967, and 1968. Two annual Theta Chi sponsored weekend activities. Football Festival Weekend in the fall and Sadie Hawkins Weekend in the spring have in the past few years become campus traditions which are looked forward to by everyone on campus. Theta Chi prides itself on the varied backgrounds, areas of study, and interests of its members. We have brothers in every phase of campus life. Our brothers include student senators, other members of student government, church group members, and participants of the many professional and honorary groups on campus. We have varsity athletes competing in football, basketball, baseball, track, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics. For the rest of the athletically inclined brothers we have organized teams in touch football, basketball, bowling, baseball, and broomball in the intramural program. Along with these many social activities, the brothers of Theta Chi provide services for the campus.' We usher at all University Theatre productions in the Little Theatre and help usher at all Big Name events on campus. One of the service projects initiated by our group at its outset and one which we continue to support is a monthly contribution for the support of an orphan child in France. The fraternity also compiles and distributes the annual Student-Faculty Directory. Theta Chi is proud of the activities and services provided by our group and of the achievements of the group and individual members.

Kappa Delta Psi was chartered in the spring of 1963 with 26 original members. The membership is presently 51 active members, one social affiliate, and eight pledges. By the spring of 1969, we hope to be a chapter of a national sorority. The sisterhood of Kappa Delta Psi is based on mutual interest, friendship and assistances. Among the many service projects. Kappa Delta Psi ushers at all music concerts. We have adopted an orphan and have supported her for several years. Last year the sorority began to correspond with a platoon in Vietnam, who receive care packages and 30-foot letters regularly from the girls. Kappa Delta Psi is active in many activities every year. Last year we placed first in the Homecoming Floats and Lawn Display, and second in other events to give us first place overall in Homecoming. This year we tied for First Women's Overall in Homecoming, with first place in the skits, and second place in all other events. For the year 1968, Kappa Delta Psi received First Women's Overall! For three consecutive years the sorority has placed its candidate on the throne for Miss Daisy Mae. Last year the sorority sponsored the first place girls' softball and basketball teams. Kappa Delta Psi also participates imFoundation Week and Greek Week. During the year. Kappa Delta Psi takes part in many individually sponsored activities. At Homecoming, the sisters hold an alumni breakfast and a Faculty Women and Wives Tea. At Christmas time we go caroling at hospitals and homes in the community. Each spring quarter a Senior Recognition Tea and Mother-Daughter Tea are given. Sorority members participate in: University Activities Board, Legislative Action Committee, Greek Letter Council, United Council, Associated Women Students, Women's Recreation Association, Dorm councils, Inter-Dorm Council, band, choir, orchestra, women's chorale, cheerleading, extramurals, debate. Young Republicans, Young Democrats, class officers and honorary societies. Though we participate in many things, it is more rewarding to do things with our sisters and to share with each other and discover the true meaning of a sisterhood. 221 Kappa Delta Psi fiont row; Muriel Askov, Mari Honor), Michele Stevens, Sherry Wanner, Janet Sorensen.

The year 1968 saw Delta lota Chi taking first place among the sororities in the Winter Carnival ice sculptures. The sorority also placed third overall in the 1968 and 1969 Foundation Week activities. The girls also worked hard on becoming first in the Homecoming events of 1968 in the women's division. In the past years it has taken awards for float, lawn and window displays and games night during Greek Week. The annual Favorite Professor Banquet is the highlight of Delta lota Chi's sorority year. Each member asks her favorite professor or administrative person to the banquet in a program to promote better relationships between faculty and students. But in addition to all of these various activities, the members of Delta lota Chi strive for good scholarship, high moral integrity and cooperation among the sorority sisters as well as with the University's student life.
