CIIUNCIL WITH MORE GREEKS IN IT THAN A RESTAURANT IN ATHENS, THE PAN- HELLENIC COUNCIL IS THE RULING BODY FOR ALL THE FRATERNITIES. A collegiate monitor, this body composed of representatives from all the secial fraternities works together to keep the fraternities in line. The iirst question to face this body appropriately enough, went to their heads, for the topic of much serious discussion among them was the advisability of enforcing the pot hat on the plebes. After many days of this niillinery discussion, the group decided that pot hats could be forced on the pledges by any group that wanted to, but must meet the approval of the Pan- Hellers. But besides laying out the law to the Greeks, Pan-Hell leads the way for social activities among the men of the campus. To top the list, they held a closed dance, in April. A few weeks before the dance, however, the Hellers lived up to the pan part of their name by giving a banquet to the fraternity advisers, at which affair the toastmaster could rightfully have been called the roastmaster, for the faculty was carried over verbal coals. As some re- marked later, the faculty must be particles of gold in the eyes of the fraternities, for they cer- tainly were panned that night. To honor the graduating athletes, Marty Slovak, Les Cast, Emil Kontak, along with drum major John Kappel, medals symbolic of their achievements were presented by the Ciouncil. Ever strong in controlling the activities of the fraternities, the Pan-Hellers are outstand- ing for the policies which they make, which stand for the students in years to follow.

PAGES INSTEAD OF POLITICS IS ALPHA KAPPA PI'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE UNIVERSITY. VVith the activity of a munitions salesman in Japan, and as productive as a modern publishing company, Alpha Kappa Pi gives, as its part of campus life, the under- taking and editing of the Blockhouse. Not that the group spends most of its time cloistered away pecking at yearbook script, for the organization has its social functions, its athletics, and an occasional foray into campus politics. Yet, concurrent with their serious business of running the Blockhouse, Alpha Kappa Pi realize that they, as the successors of Sigma Delta Rho, are the only national social fraternity on the campus. And, with the greatest of zest, they uphold this honor graciously. It is a known campus tradition that attendance at an Alpha Kappa Pi function is a sure bleach for the blues, for at these occasions, the members do the absent-mindecl professor act, forget their class work, and have more fun than Scotsmen in the Irish Free State. It is also known about the campus that the Alpha Kappa Pi men are past masters at a card game of their own origin known as swic. XYith the coming of spring and the desire for new quarters, Alpha Kappa Pi, with the lead set by other organizations on the campus, decided on moving into a new house which would afford more room for the various activities of this lively group, The incoming members as well as the actives became real estate sharks for the months of March and April and as the result, a line house one-quarter mile from the University was purchased. Although a comparatively new house, the general appearance had to be modified so as to fit the tastes of the fraternities' Mother's Club . VVith this thought instilled in the minds of the actives, the group passed the buck down to the pledges and many of the new season's warm, sunny days found the neophites religiously washing windows, scrubbing woodwork, painting screens and clearing flower beds. 30
