It is September; young men and women everywhere are answering the call to college campuses from coast to coast. Here at Valparaiso the immigration has just begun. Howdy, Dick! Hi'ya, June! Did you kids have a good vacation? Such greetings as these are being exchanged all over the Hill. Wherever individuals or groups gather or pass, friendly greetings and cheery words are exchanged. There seems to be something in the air that prompts such friend- liness on the part of even rather reserved indi'viduals. There must be something about the Christian atmosphere which makes it such a pleasure to come to our school and such a sorrow to leave it. Yes, there must be something which makes Valpo such an effective sub- stitute for our homes for three-fourths of the year. What is that something? Certain people will say that it is the thrill of being with and seeing old friends. Others might claim that it is the influence of a changed environment. These so- lutions, however, do not exactly express the feeling which comes over us when we come here to live and study. There is one explanation which does seem to apply. It is the spirit of good fellow- ship as an outward demonstration of Christian background and character which unites our students into a compact body. It is this spirit which erases the lines of class distinction between our students and which enables them to feel at ease with members of the faculty and with each other, whether at work or play. With all these influences it does not take long for even the greenest of Frosh to grasp the spirit of good fellowship here at Valparaiso. To the Members of Class of l940: OW that you are about to be graduated from Valparaiso, your minds are filled with all sorts of detailed information which you have garnered from the many courses you have taken here. Ten years from now, you will have forgotten most of this detailed in- formation. What will be left then of the education you received at Val- paraiso? Unless the University has failed to accomplish what it set out to do for you, the most important part of your education will not pass away with the pass- . ing years. For the primary purpose of Valparaiso is not to cram information into the minds of its students. Its primary purpose is to deepen each student's consciousness of his duty to God and man and to show him how he may fulfill that duty. Valparaiso has tried to show you how you may become tolerant, discrim- inating, Christian men and women. If it has succeeded in doing this and if you will remain loyal to the ideals of the University, you will become more and more tolerant, discriminating, and Christian as you become more and more mature. And that will make it possible for you to be of ever greater service to God and your fellow-men. Remain loyal to old Valpo's Brown and Gold. But, above all, remain loyal to the ideals of your Alma Mater. Cordially yours, WALTER G. FRIEDRICH, Acting President.

U. A. Board The guiding principles OF our school are laid down by the ADMINISTRATION eon Henry H. Kumnick and Mr. Albert F. Scribner cooperate to help make the wheels go 'round on our campus. The Rev. Mr. Kumnick, in his capacity as Dean of Studenfs, administers to the spiritual and moral Page Thirteen DEAN H. H. KUMNICK guidance of our student body. His is the task of advising the student on academic and extracurricular problems. Mr. Scribner, as the Registrar-Business-manager, copes with all problems of enrollment and financing. He is the man to see on matters of finance. A new building, repairs on an old one, some new fixtures, in fact, anything that necessitates financial aid for its undertaking, is approved by our Mr. Scribner. To Mr. Henry M. Stoeppelworth, our Student Secretary, goes the job of canvassing prospective students for Valparaiso. He covers more terri- tory in the administration of his position than any person connected with the University. The Department of Public Relations has charge of publicity and solicitation of funds for the University. Mr. Gustav W. Lobeck is Director of Public relations, and Mr. Karl H. Henrichs acts as Permanent Funds Secretary. Miss Mildred Carlson acts as office manager for the business department. Other assistants to the officers of Administration are Miss Ruth Darst, assist- ant to the Registrar-Business manager; and Miss Esther Kirchofer, Assistant Registrar, at present on leave of absence, and studying at the University of Chicago. Miss Catherine Carboy, Alumni Secretary for the past fifty-five years, will be retired on a pension at the end of this year. She is the official greeter for visiting alumni, and keeps up a regular correspondence with them. RUTH A. DARST Assistant Bus.

In accordance with an action of the Board of Directors taken in the early part of this year, the college will henceforth be officially known as the College of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Walter George Friedrich, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, has been untiring in his efforts to place Valparaiso's largest academic unit in a position of prominence among other institutions of higher learning in the country. Under his direction, the department of business and economics has been expanded; plans for the expansion of the departments of religion and edu- cation are rapidly coming within scope of fulfillment; and a department of fine arts is to be added in the future. Largest in the college is the department of business and economics. A thorough training in the essentials of accounting and economics is afforded the student. A part-time instructor was added to the department this year. Professor Charles Frederick Ziebarth is head of the department. The depart- Page Sixteen LIBERAL ARTS ment of social science, headed by Dr. Ernest George Schwiebert, stresses the historical and scientific approach to social problems through its variety of courses in history, political science, and sociology. The Department of English Languages and Literature is headed by Dr. Friedrich, who, during the time he is acting president of the University, is teaching no courses in the department. The University Players, debate, the TORCH, and the UHLAN are under the supervision of this department. The Department of Foreign Languages and Literature affords a thorough train- ing in German, French, and Latin. Professor Walther Martin Miller, profes- sor in German, is head of the department. The music department gives the student an opportunity to understand and appreciate music, through the various courses in theory and in applied music. The University choir, band, and orchestra are under the direction of this department. Mr. Richard Schoenbohm is head of the department. The Department of Religion and Philosophy is headed by Dr. Adolph Theodore Haentzschel. The courses in religion are an integral part of a Christian education. Their purpose is to lead the student into a fuller and deeper understanding of the Christian faith and of its implications for the Christian life. The philosophy division offers courses in philosophy, ethics, and logic. The department of Biology, headed by Dr. Frank Roy Elliott, has under its super- vision all students preparing to enter medicine, dentistry, nursing, and health education. It offers a large variety of courses in botany and zoology. The De- partment of Chemistry, in addition to its large offering of courses in all fields of chemical knowledge, has under its direc- tion the Chemistry Club of Valparaiso University, affiliated with the Student's Science Clubs of America. Dr. Walter Eu- gene Thrun is head of the department. Dr. Ancil Ridgeway Thomas is head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics. Practical problems are given precedence over those that are purely theoretical, although the principles of pure mathematics and physics are not DEAN W. G. FRIEDRICH Page Seventeen neglected. 'Dr. Alfred H. L. Meyer, in addition to his duties as head of the Department of Geography and Geology, teaches all courses in that depart- ment, with several advanced students in charge of the various laboratory periods. All educational courses in these various departments are given under the supervision of the department of Education and Psychology. Dr. Carl Frederick Lindberg is head of this department, through which arrangements are maintained with the Board of Education of the Valparaiso Public Schools for supervised teaching in its high schools. Mr. Roy B. Julian of the Valparaiso high school, is assistant director of supervised teaching. The principal aims of the College are to deepen the student's Christian consciousness of his duty toward God and man ; to acquaint him with the physical and social world in which he lives; to develop his ability to work and think independently; and to offer the student advanced work in those fields of concentration enumerated above. The Valparaiso College of Liberal Arts holds full membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and is approved by the Indiana State Board of Education as a class A college and university for teacher training.

KAUFMANN Acting Dean of Pharmacy HEN the last senior pharmacy student receives his degree on June 9, l940, the Valparaiso College of Pharmacy will cease to exist. Dean F. V. Lofgren paid tribute to the department by saying, The Valparaiso College of Pharmacy, as an institution, is passing from the scene; its spirit, however, will linger on in the great schools of pharmacy and in many of the pharmacies of our land. The first pharmacy classes on the campus were taught in l893 by Professor H. M. Evans, as a side line to his regular duties as a member of the science department. These classes proved so success- Poge Twenty ful that it was soon decided to establish pharmacy as a regular department. The first class of sixteen students was graduated in the summer of I893. The course was then one of fifty weeks' duration, and practically no previous educational requirements were necessary for enrollment. In I894 Mr. J. N. Roe took over the teach- ing of the pharmacy courses and later became Dean of the College. Under Dean Roe the College grew, and soon new quarters were needed. Science Hall was erected in I900 to become a home of pharmacy, chemistry, and physics. During this period the enrollment went as high as I54 students with a graduat- ing class of 85. In I906 a two-year course of 72 weeks and a threevyear course of I08 weeks were inaugurated to give graduates a Bachelor of Science degree. An additional year of post-graduate work was offered. En- trance requirements for the under-graduate work consisted only of a certificate indicating a minimum of two years of attendance in high school. After I9I5 a four-year high school degree was required for entrance. In I9II the Valparaiso Pharmaceutical Association was organized; this group held regular meetings, sponsored guest speakers prominent in pharmacy and medicine, and annuaIIy arranged a field trip to one of the larger Pharmaceutical Manufacturing com- panies. This group was in continuous exis- tence untiI school closed last spring. In I920 Dr. Hugh C. MuIdoon became Dean of the College of Pharmacy. Through his efforts the College was accredited by the American As- sociation of CoIIeges and Pharmacy in I925. Since I930 a four-year course granting the degree of Bachelor of Science has been of- fered. State Pharmacy board requirements have been steadily becoming more stringent, and four years of pharmacy courses were then required for graduation. Dean Fredrick V. Lofgren came to VaIpo in I929, and Dr. A. A. Harwood arrived at about the same time. Early in I939, Dean Lofgren, forced to take a leave of absence because of an infection in his ear, following a lingering attack of influenza, Dr. Harwood was appointed acting Dean, and Mr. R. E. Williamson, recently graduated from Purdue University, took over Dr. Lofgren's classes. On November 29, I938, Acting President W. G. Friedrich announced that, by resolution of the board of directors, the College of ABRAHAM SLESSOR Pharmacy was to be discontinued, as soon as the class of I940 had graduated. Freshman and sophomore students then enroIIed were to be transferred to Purdue. This step was believed necessary because pharmacy require- ments were continually being increased, while the Pharmacy enrollment was steadily de- creasing. Dr. Harwood accepted a position at the In- dianapolis College of Pharmacy before the beginning of the current school year. Dean Lofgren had planned to return and had reestablished his residence in Valparaiso. Only a short time previous to registration, how- ever, he was given a release to accept a posi- tion in the College of Pharmacy of the University of Florida, one of the largest and best known pharmacy schools in the country. A new pharmacy instructor came to VaIpo this year. Dr. A. SIessor received his degree at Purdue in June, I939. Dr. Fred Kaufman is now acting Dean. Five seniors are i ' their degrees this year. They are RoIan bach, Harold Eddy, James Doty, and Louis Jacobs. SmaII classes, friendly coopera . strong determination to pass l -tiva'W-ise e examinations have characte ifd-thHest-i year. As seniors, we regret thi losing of the I I school, but feel that this Ias year has been our best. We wistfuIIy hope Hat VaIpo will miss her friendly Pharmics.e UIS JACOBS. Page Twenty-one JOHN W. MORLAND Dean It's a small school, bute-J It's the quality and not the quantity that counts, as the saying goes, and the School of Law of Valparaiso University is not to be underestimated because of its small enroll- ment. 1f the alumni of a school are the best evidence of the character of work it is doing, the graduates of the V. U. law school have furnished ample evidence of the worth of the school and the excellent training it gives its students. For years the percentage of graduates passing the bar examinations has compared favorably to that of any large law school in the country, and it is generally greater than that of many state law schools. SCHOOL OF LAW VIRGIL E. BERRY Professor of Law MARSHALL J. JOX LOUIS ALBERT WEHING Instructor in Law Instructor in Law Modern American law is a composite of the common law and legislative and consti- tutional enactments. This law is the fruit of hundreds of years of development, in England and later in America, toward the establish- ment of a system of law which would ade- quately protect the rights, powers, privileges, and immunities of individuals, and suppress personal and public wrongs. The School of Law seeks to acquaint its students with the principles and rules that have thus been established, attempting, meanwhile, not to overlook the many outstanding local peculiari- ties of the law as it exists in the various states of the United States in the federal jurisdiction. A practical balance between theory and practice is attained by training the student in the operative functions such as drawing legal papers, pleading, and trial practice, as well as by discipline in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis. A practice court is maintained, in which the student must take all the steps required in the preparation and trial of a case. Professional interest of the students is stimulated through lectures by practicing attorneys and judges. The Valparaiso School of Law is fully approved by the American Bar Association; its degree of Bachelor of Laws is approved by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York; and it is a mem- ber of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization of approximately 88 law schools in the United States and Canada. Dean John W. Morland has been head of the School of Law since 1928. He came to Valparaiso in l925. In his office one finds many things: lots of fountain pens, all sizes, colors, and shapes; colored inks, espe cially green and purple; pictures of his family, per- haps a couple of clocks and some tools: all these besides stacks of books and papers. LAW Ll BRARY Page Twenty-four HOWARD W. MOODY Dean THROUGH on action by the Board of Directors this year, Valparaiso has arranged with Pur- due University, two cooperative plans for students of engineering. At the end of this school year, instruction in advanced engineering courses will be discontinued. Under the first plan the student will spend three years at Valparaiso and two at Purdue. During the three years at Valpo he will take all the freshman and sophomore courses offered at Purdue, plus the cultural and religious require- ments for all Liberal Arts graduates. Upon com- pletion of his first year in engineering at Purdue, the student will receive his BA. from Valparaiso, and after the second, the 3.8. in civil, electrical, mechanical or chemical engineering from Purdue. Under the second plan the student will spend two years at Valpo and two at Purdue, receiving his 3.5. on completion of his fourth year. At Valpo he will take all the required engineering COLLEGE OF HERMAN BLlCKENSDERFER Instructor in Civil Engineering courses of the first two years at Purdue plus Valpo's courses in religion. Head of the department is Professor Howard Wilson Moody. Other instructors in the department are Professors Carl Lau- ritzen, Moses Walter Uban, and Herman Blickensderfer. The primary aim of the department is to give the student a broad foundation in both the theory and practice of engineer- ing. Inspection trips to various industrial plants are arranged and conducted by members of the engineering faculty. These trips are designed to correlate the work of the department with the various types of industrial industries visited. Valpo is located about fifty miles from Chicago, one of the world's greatest railroad and industrial centers, giving the student on easy access, through the inspection trips, to engineering work of the first magnitude. As a further aid to students of engineering, the Engineer- ing Society has been organized. At the regular meetings, papers are presented by students, faculty members and en- gineers prominent in industry, upon subjects of general en- gineering interest. The society also sponsors receptions for new students and field trips and banquets. ENGINEERING MOSES W. UBAN CARL LAURITZEN ENGINEERING LAB Asst. Prof. of Mechanical Asst.

From Califor- nia and Massachusetts, from Louisiana and Minnesota we come to make up one of the largest freshman classes in years. Strangers come to make us at home in the bare rooms of Lembke and Altrurio; we did not have a chance to become lonesome. We made friends quickly in the commonness of our situation. Freshman week passed suddenly, and we were soon in the complicated process of registration. Two days later, we attended our first classes. How we envied the upperclossmen who took every- thing so cosuolly. Would the work be tougher than high school? What would the profs be like? Still in a daze from the excitement of the previous week, we were suddenly jolted by the mighty Sophs. Button, Frosh! Grab your onk'es! We were marched down town, and, encouraged by paddles, forced to scrub the courthouse steps. But the Sophs's hazing did not go unchallenged. One morning the campus become measle-spotted with red 43's- which we had to scrub off with bricks. The Sophs rushed our Homecoming bonfire. They lost. They sock-roced against us. They lost. After Homecoming, fraternity and sorority rushing began, bottling us with the sudden change in our posi- tion on the campus. Smokers, dinners, and Stags were BARBARA KOHN HERBERT KNOTHE ALBERT KLIMEK V. President President Treasurer THEY LEAD BEGI NNERS held in our honor. Our high position was short lived, however, for we were again put in our place at the pledge meetings of the respective organizations which we had joined. Having become somewhat adjusted to our new environment, we began to enter into extracurricular activities. Hank Miller turned out good football and basketball teams. Delinquents came out, and we awakened to the real purpose for which we came to college. Christmas vacation, cramming, and exams ended our first semester at Valpo. The second semester opened on a changed freshman class. We at last began to feel ourselves a part of the University. Laboratories took on a significance hereto- fore unknown; history began to have some continuity. We began to appreciate the true significance of chapel. We woke up one morning to find that we belonged, that we were really a part of Valpo. Our lives became more rhythmical, even though we did spend too much time in the Varsity Shoppe and in long, fascinating, aimless discussions. The work was not so hard, studying was no longer the drudgery it had been at first. The second semester delinquent report did not hit us so hard. Yes, we felt that we be- longed. Valpo Aprils being as they are, we are frightened by spring fever. We've had a rollerskating party, and we have a beach party coming along. All in all, it's been a good year; may the others be as good.

But he isn't the only outstanding person in the group. No, the sophomores are more than pulling their weight in all the University's extra-curricular activities. The sophs have more than their share of representation in University dra- matic productions. Arnold Barth, Art Boehm, Geraldine Freyer, and Guy Slaughter played leading roles in this year's production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Marta Loose and Connie Bruegemann are prominent in the University's players' roster. Nine '4Zers won letters in football: Everett Behrman, Gerhardt Hanne- mann, Walter Kandt, Arlo Mueller, Carl Ramcke, Harold Rissman, Richard Wasikowski, William Locke, and the aforementioned Mr. Barth. Reinhardt Leu, whose leg was broken the past spring in an intra-mural baseball game, was kept from football this fall, but Christy is counting on him for 1940. Le Roy Krueger, a transfer student, thus not eligible for varsity, was the captain and leader of a good freshman team. Three members of the class are basketballers: Julius Lorko, Howard Pendlebury, and Harold Youngren. The student publications claim twelve sophomores: John Strietelmeier, associate editor; Al Looman, news editor; Lois Wyneken, Annetta Amling, Arlene Huff, Warren Goetz, Carol Miller, and John Patterson, on the TORCH staff; and Elmer Simon, sports editor; Annetta Amling, Everette Sisson, and Mary Francis Johnston, on the UHLAN staff. Janet Steben is art editor for both publications.

President of the juniors is William Lodwig, who, besides guiding the des- tinies of his class, serves as president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, and is on active member of Alpha Epsilon. Sulo Siekkinen and Fritz Mueller were selected by their teammates on the football squad as co-captains for the 1940 season. After three years of varsity competition, these two husky juniors are well qualified for their positions.

Upon the copoble shoulders of these men will fall the greater port of the responsibility for the success of the 1940 season. The junior class will be represented on the basketball floor next year by such players as Clifford Clouss, Morty Gerken, and Chuck Hoover, who should give the fans plenty of action. Horold Kenny, who was out most of this season be- cause of heart trouble, should be one of the dominating figures on the floor next year if completely recovered by then. twins, Art and Paul Eggers. Bill Schlender is also assistant editor of the UHLAN. Jessie Swanson and Jean Morlond are the other junoir representatives on the staff. Sixteen juniors are members of the Univer- sity choir: Anna Luise Bongert, Arlene Engle, Fred Frank, Richard Humphrey, Williom Lode wig, Lois Miller, Lorroine Riske, Carl Sochtle- ben, Theodore Schwon, Harry Stemler, Harry Succop, Jessie Swanson, and Viola Wrede. Soloists ore Fred Frank, Richard Humphrey, Lorraine Riske, and Viola Wrede. These are the juniors. Next year 05 seniors they will be campus leoclers, taking the place of this year's crop of graduates. We wish them luck, and next year the seniors returning to The TORCH is controlled this year by two juniors, Roy Scherer as editor, and William Schlender as business manager.

How much that name means to us, especially to those of us who have fin- ished our last year here. We come here expecting great things, and we found them. As we look back, the years stand out through the people we met, the girl who welcomed us when we first stepped into Altruria, the boy who helped us dig our way through frog muscles, the waiter who grumbled whenever we gave him a special order, the janitor who greeted us every day I whistling Shine on Harvest Moon,' the prof who made us get up at five o'clock to go on a bird-hike. It all forms a part of our intimate picture of Val- poroiso, everything, the tired groups coming home from a field trip at the dunes, that last long class just LOU I S JACOBS President WILLIAM RODDA Vice President DOROTHY MACKENSEN Secretory HAROLD EDDY Treasurer before vacation, the candy bars and cakes we con- sumed during exam-week, the long awaited gymna- sium, the misused victory bell, the little gold Valpo seals in the book store; but Valpo has more than that. The spirit of Volpo lies in the men who have devoted themselves to bringing a true Christian spirit OFF into education. It is to the men who have given us, not only a picture of the complex integrated world in which we live, but a purpose for our living in it, a philosophy of life, that we feel that deepest grot- itude. They have given life to the words, In Luca Tuo Videmus Lucem. C E R S Page Fifty-seven VIRGINIA AHLBRAND, B.A., music, bioiogy; Gamma Phi; dormitory council; W.A.A.; orchestra; choir. WALTER G.

Page Sixty-seven HOMECOMING THE most spectacular and elaborately planned celebration at Val- paroiso was the three-day Homecoming festival. Brown and gold adorned lamp posts, over hanging WELCOME signs, and special win- dow displays produced a festive atmosphere in which alumni and students paid tribute to their Alma Mater. Friday morning, motleyvclad hoboes invaded class rooms, and bought cokes and wieners from the W.A.A. After dismissal of classes at noon, the student body, led by the little German band, marched to the Premier Theatre, where Ed Bubon, as master of ceremonies, directed the after- noon activities. Students song, yelled, and awarded prizes to Earl Dawald, obo king; Delta Jecm Newman, as Hobo queen; Ed Kase for the ongest whiskers, and Bill Nowok for the prettiest legs on the football Wytd. The picture, College Swing, the yearly gift of the theatre anagement to the students, concluded the entertainment. Friday evening, freshmen ignited their wood tower, which had been accumu- lated during the past two weeks, and snake-donced from the bonfire to the Gymnasium. Saturday at 12:30 a committee judged organization house decora- tions, and selected the best of the eleven floats which were the feature attraction of the parade. Each of the seven men's organizations, as well as the Altrurio girls, W.A.A., Lembke Hall, and the engineers competed in the best float contest. A corps of cadets from Concordia, Fort Wayne, led the parade, and formed the escort for Homecoming King Harold Helbling and his Queen, Virginia Vogel. At 2:00 o'clock, before the Health and Public Education building, Norman Tewes, on behalf of the class of '39, presented a new flag pole to the school. It was accepted by Acting President Friedrich, and dedi- cated to Dean Kumnick. As the flag was raised by the Homecoming king and queen, o bugle sounded To the Colors, and the cadets and Boy Scouts saluted. When the flag reached the top of the pole, the Valparaiso band played The Star-Spcngled Bonner. Immediately afterward, an enthusiastic crowd gathered at Brown field, where the Uhlons placed one of their foremost football games of the season against Luther's powerful Vikings. The winner of the Frosh- Soph tug-of-war staged between halves of the game is still disputed. After the game alumni were served tea in Altrurio. Saturday night 150 people attended a banquet in the Altruria dining hall in honor of the football squad. The group song college songs; Richard Humphrey sang several solos; and Dr. Friedrich, Co-Captoins McGinnis and Finneron and Coach Christiansen gave short speeches. Sunday morning, Homecoming activities were concluded when each of the four girls' organizations entertained alumni, members, and pledges at breakfast. Many thanks to Chairman Goehring and Chairman Freise, who with the cooperation of faculty, alumni, and students, mode the 1940 Home- coming an unprecedented success.

Coach Page Seventy-two THE rugged road to football glory was a little too bumpy for this year's Uhlcm eleven. Coach Christiansen's squad handled one of the toughest schedules the school has carded in recent years. Injuries haunted the field house all season; spirit often had to fill in when the going was tough. Uhlcn fans had to be content with two well-fought victories, shed tears over two of the losses, give in to destiny on the other four set-backs. Superior in every department, Toledo's touted Rockets took a liking to the warm weather, the home crowd, and the Volpo goal line. Christy's veterans stood up well against the classy Ohio eleven in the first quarter but weakened considerably just before the holf-time gun. After that, Doc Spears was able to out-substitute Valpo and his fresher material cinched a 39 to O victory. Harder to take was the 7 to 0 loss suffered at the hands of St. Joseph's Puma squad. The Hillods kept the enemy at bay in the first quarter, made a magnificent goal line stand in the second frame, yielded only in the third quarter, and played the fur off of the Puma in the last stanza.

F1 NNERAN Co-Captains Page Seventy-four The following week Uhlan fans witnessed victory over Capitol, com- plete with a number of thrills. The score was deadlocked 6 to 6 at the outset of the final period. The Brown and Gold immediately got into trouble, and it cost them a two point safety to wiggle out. Christy's crew took to long passes, tactics which aided them before. Krenske threw them, Finneran caught most of them, let Paul Eggers pull down the prettiest one. The Irish field general, duplicating his first-quarter feat, gathered in the pay-off toss three plays before gun time, and the victory bell worked overtime. Victory rode in the Uhlan saddle once again when the Hillmen edged Indiana State 13 to 12. Early in the contest, Fritz Mueller smashed his way to the 3-yard line, then charged the enemy line to score. With Valpo's line sweeping things dOWn, this scoring performance was almost twice repeated, but State's wall stiffened a little. At the beginning of the second quarter Finneran's heave to Wasikowski put the Uhlans in the scoring column again. They converted on Fritz Mueller's line buck. The Homecoming assignment was a tough one, Luther College pro- viding too much opposition. Despite the 20 to 7 loss, every Uhlan gave a good account of himself and provided an interesting afternoon for the abundant and jovial Homecoming crowd. Valpo maintained the edge in the first half, and were in scoring position more than once. Luther passed with the wind to score twice, Finneran caught two passes to set the stage for Miller to plunge over. Christy's capable ends, Buck Bertig and Sulu Siekkinen gave the crowd something to talk about Saturday evening ethe enemy saw plenty of these boys all afternoon. The balance of the season was not very encouraging to Uhlan fans, but in the face of such stiff competition as Manchester's undefeated army, and the Ball State's powerhouse, the results were not humiliating.

Coach Valparaiso University fared rather well with its freshman football crew this season. A quality eleven, perhaps the smoothest frosh squad in recent years, waited until mid-season to show its wares. Coach Honk Miller then trotted them out against Manchester College's B team and returned home with a 13 to O feather in their helmets. The Brown and Gold yearlings operated in the enemy territory all afternoon. Passes from Johnny Powell to LeRoy Krueger worked the boil near the goal; a toss, Powell to Hoyt Livingston, set the team on its way to victory. Later in the battle, the freshmen found their running game, and easily moved into pay dirt. Captain Krueger's end- around accounted for the second touchdown, Powell converting. Miller had his lads primed for Ball State, but mother nature came out with a slimy gridiron to slow up their fine running game and a wet football to mess up their phenomenal passing. One break, a blocked punt, turned the contest into a 7 to O victory for the opposition. Vaipo's beefy line, bolstered by Bob Gockel, tackle, made life miserable for Ball State's boll toters.

AA PHYSICA L BUILDING The most recent and by far the most not- able addition to our campus is the new Health and Physical Education Building, which was formally dedicated on October 8, 1939, cul- minating ten years of planning and an addi- tional year of construction operations. At the honor convocation and dedication ceremonies, Dr. Walter G. Friedrich, Acting President of the University, conferred honorary degrees upon three distinguished educators of Synod. Dr. W. H. T. Dau and Dr. L. Fuer- bringer received the degree of Doctor of Letters, and Dr. 0. C. Kreinheder; former Uni- versity president, was honored with the degree of Doctor of Laws. Professor Walter E. Bauer gave the main address. The dedicatory service proper was opened by Dr. M. F. Kretzmann with the Lord's Prayer. The dedication was then pronounced by Dr. 0. C. Kreinheder, and the dedicatory prayer was read by Dr. W. H. T. Dau. The service was closed with a benediction by Dr. L. Fuerbringer. The new gymnasium, designed by Pohle meyer and Pohlmeyer, architects, and erected by Henry Wehrenberg and Sons, general con- tractors, provides the much needed recrea- tional activities demanded for the general health of the student body. The open gym floor has facilities for a basketball court, two cross coarts, and eight badminton courts. The gym will seat approximately lSOO individuals. Downstairs is the recreation room, which is open to roller skating, wrestling, boxing and other sports. Locker rooms and showers are also located on the lower floor. Upstairs is a lounge, headquarters for the WAA, and the offices of Coach Christiansen and Miss Kath- , ; erine Kaiser, director of women's athletics.

Student followers could boast of two stars, however, if they couldn't talk about victories. Forwards Lud Koepke and Breeze Weber, paced the Uh- 1cm offense through most of January. Koepke, whose consis- tent overhead shot placed him in the some bracket with the state's scoring aces, was just getting a bead on the rim. Things looked better for February. Koepke found himself for 21 points against Indiana Central, but it wasn't enough to collar the conference poce-setters. Christy's men looked mighty hot in the 54 to 51 setback. Victory was neither expected nor received in the ln- dicma State tussle. The high- riding Stotesmen wore the Uh- Ions down to a 49-36 finish. Forward Koepke's 13 points staved off a massacre. Page Eighty-one E. WEBER L. KOEPKE Valpo's cagers found a method to turn on the steam in the Hanover contest. The tiring varsity five were being overpowered when Coach Christiansen sent in his suicide squad, Denig, Lorko, Finneran, Pendelbury, and Kenny. The fresh reserve troops partiallyx checked the enemy offense; the Uhlan top- kicks rested, then returned to the lines to blast past the surprised Hanoverians, 40 to 35. Weber's exhibition was commendable. The 12 cylinder squad found their best form in bowling over Central Normal, 5-8-41 on the local court. The improvement of the suicide five and Koepke's 18 point show brightened the gallery gossip. The Brown and Gold clan made it three in a row against the Milwaukee Concordia squad. Hank Eggold, Weber and Koepke laid a first-half seige on the basket to assure victory. H. EGGOLD C. CLAUSS Christy's crew found the competition stiff in Michigan territory. Western State was too polished, and the next night Grand Rapids was rather persistent. The latter scrap was a 53-52 overtime thriller. Weber and Harold Kenny helped Valpo to a 19 point lead but as the minutes began dropping off, so did the mar- gin. The free-scoring overtime was an epic in chaos. N: H. PENDLEBURY D.

The Hillmen did not have to work hard for their 58 to 25 conquest. Central Normal almost had revenge for an earlier defeat but the alert play of Champ Krenzke saved the 59-58 nightmare for Valpo. Campus grins changed to frowns when the Uhlon squad fizzled in the climax contests. The loss to Hanover was close, but St. Joe's powerhouse L. KRUEGER J. LORKO E. KRENZKE Captain ended the season as it had begun. The six victories, the nine fighting finishes, the novel suicide squad, Koepke's second place scoring berth in the state, Krenzke's incomparable defense, and Kenny's occasional combacks, mode the season a worthwhile one for Valparaiso. Four conference victories out of 14 sent them down to the unfrequented 18th place. H. DENIG H. KENNEY C. HOLT FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Page Eighty-four HENRY MILLER Asst. Coach HE freshman edition of Volpo's basketeers took their light schedule seri- ously, practiced as zealously as their varsity elders and did equally as well in the face of tough competition. Coach Miller's greenies this season were paced by Maynard Ahrendt, Jack Camonn, Dick Koenig, Ed Mierendort, Bill Sabiotcmy, Herb Knothe, and Bob Lexow. Jim Samuelson, Fred Wehren- berg, Emil Freitog, and Jim Sendo were active reserves. Warm-up sessions With organized teams showed that the young Uhlcms were tall and fast enough to worry any outfit of their kind. Their race-horse tactics gave them the heavy end of the score in scrimmages with a few challenging quintets in the Volpo area. The frosh squad didn't fore so well in their two conference starts, but few teams in the state that opposed St. Joseph's B team did. The Cardinal five, braced by varsity material, took two reasonabie, weJl-fought contests from the local lads. SCORES Won........8 Lost........4 w FROSH IN ACTION X ,Ax R S l 1- $ ?

Over 100 boys put punch into the basketball loop. Close competition en- couraged complete participation. After one month of court warfare, the thing settled down to a feud between the AE, Phi Psi, and Sig Chi outfits. In the play-offs, the lanky AE quintet nosed out the Mound street five, then galloped past the Sig Chis, to take the coveted mantlepiece award. The new faces of the freshman athletes had sufficient cause to smile when the touch foot- ball teams quit fighting, for the Lembke Hall frosh aggregation wound up on the top of the heap. No other outfit came close to their fine record of six wins, one loss. On-the-dot competition gave the KIPs the upper hand in the ping pong and badminton circuits, although the matches and final standings were quite close. Then too, the KIPs came out of the Publix alley basement with the campus bowling trophy. Thirty-seven victories in forty-two games gave them a comfortable lead over any competition. In the inter-sorority division, the Gamma Phis ran away with the bowling trophy, easily mowing down all competition. First place in the girl's basketball tourney went to the Alpha Phi sorority, after a rather impressive season.

ACTIVITIES W OMEN'S ATHLETICS on Valparaiso University campus were first organized in 1929. Since that time the Women's Athletic As- sociation has remained a constant factor in the development of health and interest in sports for University women. Each year sees some notable addition to the already long list of accessible activities. The organization's primary aim and purpose is to achieve proficiency in athletic endeavor and encourage a spirit of good sportsmanship. WAA encourages every girl to participate in at least one athletic activity. Competition between classes and organizations stimulates a friendly and social spirit of rivalry. The only qualification for membership is the accumulation of fifty points, earned by entering actual ploy. Points above fifty go toward an award in the form of cm insignia, numerals, letter, or jacket. The Senior member most representative of the Women's Athletic Association is honored with the title of Blanket Girl and is pre- sented with a Brown and Gold V blanket. The emblem symbolizes her supremacy in both athletic ability and sportsmanship. Miss Katherine Kaiser, advisor of WAA, is directly responsible for the outstanding success of the group. Under her guidance, 0 con- tinuous sports cycle is achieved with something doing all the time. Fall and chilly weather bring the girls indoors for badminton, bowling, basketball, ping-pong, and roller-skating. As winter approaches plans are made for sleighing, skiing, and ice-skating, besides the aIl-year- 'round inside games. Come spring, with new energy and pep, the girls don shorts, slacks, and riding habits, to take their exercise in the great open spaces. Miss Kaiser formulates plans for both intramural tournaments and, as a venture into new fields, intercollegiate competition. With her assistance, the officers decide all important questions arising during the athletic season, map out the program of sports, decide on the rules for the various games, and schedule social activities. Anita Borum served as president during 1940, with Anna Luise Bangert, as vice-president. The secretary was Arlene Engle, and the treasurer, Lauretta Riske. Cordelia Grosz, as recdrder, kept the accounts of all participants, and participants' points in each sport. Then also, each individual sport is placed under the supervision of a director who is selected from the Association. These heads-of- sports, as they are known, become a governing body. It is their duty to approve ail resolutions and plans made by the officers. The 1940 staff included: archery, Jay Hempel; basketball, Dore 0thy Ressmeyer; swimming and deck tennis, Ruth Foelber; tennis, 'TIS SELDOM THEY REST Page Eighty-nine KATHERINE KAISER Director of Girls' Athletics Page Ninety Betty Klewin; volley-ball, June Hoeger; bowling, Dorothy Kumnick; baseball, Dorothy Mackensen; horseshoe, Mabel Grace Freehauf; hiking, skating and bicycling, Dorothy Saeger; cmd badminton, ping- pong, and shuffle board, Evelyn Herscher. Completion of the Health and Physical Education Building has served as an incentive to more hours of healthful relaxation. The girls do not rely on the University campus for all their activity, how- ever. The aquatic-minded maidens find the Horace Mann swimming pool in Gary very attractive. A popular recreation with many is horse- back riding. Still others prefer supper hikes in the director of Saegerls lake. Then there are the enthusiastic before-breakfast-strollers, who stop for a hearty meal before returning to the campus for classes. Bowling at the Publix alleys after school and evenings forms profitable pastime for many girls. WAA has always taken an active interest in University programs. Their float displaying various types of athletics attracted student interest during the Homecoming parade. At every basketball and football game a committee of these girls operates the concession stand. This group, selected by the president, is changed for each game. Beginning early in the spring, WAA sponsors tournaments in bad- minton, basketball, bowling, horseshoe, ping-pong, tennis, and volley- ball. Intramural competition is slated between the social organiza- tions, Alpha Phi, Sigma Theta, Gamma Phi, Alpha Xi, and Inde- pendents; between the various classes; and between the girls living in the dormitory and those living in town, and the white house. Activity of the Women's Athletic Association terminates in 0 grand finale at the annual Field Day, when the trophies are awarded, and group winners declared. These are a Few OF the many sports Our girls pursue GENERAL ATHLETICS With a new gym, Valparaiso Uni- versity got a new and exciting sport this year. Coach E. G. Schwiebert took twenty men into the basement of the gym this winter and mode twenty boxers out of them. With the help of Al Meyer and Bill Nowak, both ex- perienced ring men, Coach Schwie- bert's punchers were ready for inter- collegiate warfare in two month's time. After a worm-up contest with the Valpo CCC team, the Brown and Gold pugilists met Armour Tech at Chicago, and Culver Academy in the military school's ring. The team came out of each contest with at least two victories, and for 0 green team, took care of themselves satisfactorily in the face of veteran competition. Willie Hirsch, 127 pound mauler, come out of all his battles with victory. In the Culver engagement he outpointed the light weight champion of Porto Rico, who had not been defeated in scholastic circles until he faced the agile Uhlon lightweight. Captain Harold Helbling lost two bouts on minor technicalities, then gave on outstanding exhibition of aggrese siveness in the Armour Tech return match. Poul Wolf, Bill Schlender, and Leonard Blotz 0H slugged their way into the victory column before the season expired. Other members of the travel- ing team included Frank Meier, Wally Kremmel, Jim Doty, and Ellis Trovis. The team members were awarded siX-inch letters at the close of their respectable season. This spring saw the first authentic organiza- tion of Volporaiso's gohc team. Tutored by Coach E. E. Goehring and Dr. Roy Larson, the six man club sow plenty of action with other Indiana col- leges. They were entered in the annual stote golf tournament where the cream of college golfers annually gather to swap strokes. The members of the squad were picked by Mr. Goehring from the qualifiers in the all-compus tourneys held at the Lincoln Hills country club in the fall and early spring. In both of these battles, John Ruge and Bill Nowak ran one-two. Ruge's 82 was enough in both tourneys. Reinhardt Leu, Lyle Dilling- ham, Roger Henry, Ken Freutal, and Ed Wolske offered the leaders plenty of competition. The net games, ping-pong 0nd badminton, re- ceived a gracious welcome in their introduction to Volpo's intra-murol network. In the all-compus open tourney's the ping-pong 0nd badminton ex- hibitions were rather spectacular, evidencing sev- eral skilled performers. Guy Slaughter and Art Boehm conducted themselves creditobily in the doubles field, coming off with the number one position. Dr. Roy Larson, of the faculty con- quered the school's best racqueteers in the bad- minton circuit. Karl Korsten and Jay Hempel proved to be the aces of the hill in the mixed doubles bracket in the iatter sport. lntercloss basketball took on active week out of the winter program. The weH-bolanced junior five had on easy time of it until an CiH-star quin- tet, taken from the other classes, ran over them, 44 to 29. The winter program died out with a free throw party. In the classified division, Breeze Weber's 44 out of 50 took the ribbon. Richard Bodenstob connected 40 out of 50 attempts to pace the unclassified competitors.

Much has been said for and against TraTerniTies. However, The froTerniTy does have a definiTe aim. No beTTer expression of This aim may be pre- senTed Than The following: Suffice iT To say ThaT The criTerion of The organizaTion has been symbolical of ThoT undaunTed spirit of fraternal good fellowship and genuine fideiiTy for The welfare of The brothers. Al- Though This sToTemenT, which appeared in The UHLAN of 1920, applies To one parTicular froTerniTy in iTs original conTexT, iT is Typical of The general spirit of fraternalism. The phrase good fellowship and genuine fidelity for the welfare of the brothers, is the embodiment of fraternalism. This spirit, however strong, makes no contribution to cooperation between members of the individual fraternities; some factor must be found to bind them together into a unified whole. This factor is provided by the Valparaiso lnter-Fraternity Council. Perhaps the most important function of the l.F.C. is the regulation of rushing activities. The Council formulates the qualifications for member- ship in a fraternity, stipulates the time and duration of the rushing period, schedules one rush party for each organization, regulates rushing hours, states the minimum period of pledgeship, and sits in consultation on all infractions of the rushing rules, and levies fines accordingly. The lnter-Fraternity council also regulates all inter-fraternity athletic contests. During the past year, its jurisdiction, formerly limited to bowling and a few minor athletic events, has been extended so that now the l.F.C. has charge, through the athletic managers of the individual fraternities, of the majority of intra-mural athletics. The work of the COmeil has done a great deal to promote the cause of friendly competition, and to spread a general unity over the organized male students of the campus, to the betterment of Valparaiso University.

It remained a secret organization until 1919; when the University gave its official sanction to fraternities in that year, Alpha Epsilon was among the first to announce its existence. The colors of the organization are blue and gold, while the official flower is the tube rose. Chief social activities of the organization are the testi- monial banquet in the middle of February, at which some outstanding alumnus is presented with the gold key of the organization, and the annual banquet in the spring. During the thirty-seven years of its existence, the organiz- ation has included on its roster some of the outstanding men in America today. Lowell Thomas, welI-known radio and news commentator, and Dr. R. G. Bresler, president of Rhode Island State college, are among the more prominent of the alumni group of over 600 members from all parts of the country. Faculty honoraries are Mr. Albert Wehling, instructor in law; Mr. E. E. Goehring, instructor in business; and Dean Howard E. Moody, of the College of Engineering. The aims of Alpha Epsilon ore to promote good cheer and brotherly love among the members, and to stimulate scholastic development. Four years ago, the organization received permanent possession of the l.F.C. scholarship trophy. The official organ of the group is its quarterly paper, GOOD CHEER. ACTIVES: E. Kurtz, W. Weber, R.

Two years later they became the Xi Chapter of the national Kappa Delta Pi, a fra- ternity for prospective teachers. In l929, in language like that in the Declaration of Independence, they passed a series of resolutions that made them free and independent. The official flower is the American beauty rose; fraternity colors, navy blue and white. Ever since l93O they've been living in their present house at 356 Greenwich Street, which they proudly claim is the biggest 0n the Hill. In October the boys all got blue and white fraternity jackets with Greek letters and nicknames. In January they built Cl handsome bobsled with which to haul themselves about. The Presidents A.

SCHULTZ Kappa Iota Pi Page One Hundred Two KAPPA IOTA PI was organized on November 14, 1919, by a group of students consisting of mostly ex-servicemen. Their first home was in old Columbia Hall, but they .soon dug up enough money for a down payment and proceeded to build themselves a houseethe one that still serves them today. At one time during their period of home-ownership they had such a hard time meeting a mortgage payment that they had to pawn their clothes and jewelry to raise the required amount. Fraternity colors are purple and white; flower, the white carnation. The Kips are very formal in their meetings and their tradi- tions are sacred. They wear suits, maintain strict silence, and refrain from smoking during meetings. This year, with the largest membership on the Hill, Kips were rather cramped for space; they housed two of their brothers in the attic, four in one of their two-room suites, three in the others, and about ten lived elsewhere on the campus. One of the suites is reserved :I exclusively for the president, treasurer, and corresponding secrete ry. The Kip clubroom is a cozy, homey place with Cl fireplace; some new furniture was added this year. The first day of really cold weather last winter found the Kips without heatetheir cooperativer-operated furnace had gone on the blink during the night.

Page One Hundred Three Page One Hundred Four ON a snowy Christmas eve in 1914, a group of male university students put their heads together and founded the Xi Omega chapter of Phi Delta Psi, a fraternity for the promotion of good fellowship and scholastic achievement. Today the Phi Psis own their own house on Mound street, where they have lived since 1932. Before that they lived next door to the domestic science building, in a house called the Castle, until 1927, and later on Monroe street. Fraternity colors are black and gold, and the flower adopted by the boys was the poinsettio. This fall the boys celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of their group. The alumni group consists of over 300 members with alumni chapters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and in Chi- cago. Dean Muldoon, of Duquense University, Pittsburgh, is one of the most outstanding members of this alumni group. Dr. W. G. Friedrich, acting president of the University and dean of the faculty; Deon John W. Morlond of the School of Low; Mr. Charles Ziebarth, head of the business department; and Mr. Meyers E. Zimmerman, instructor in business, are honorary members. Phi Psis are well-known for their accomplishments in the field of intro-murol athletics, carrying off top honors and gaining possession of the intra-mural trophy for each of the past four years. The boys' extra-curriculor activities, however, are not confined to athletics. Phi Psis are prominent in debate and TORCH work, as well as in other campus activities. Presidents E. KRENZKE F.

RODDA Sigma Delta Chi SIGMA DELTA CHI was organized on December 17, 1919, to promote the social life of its members, to encourage schol- astic activity, and to provide for closer fellowship. The fraternity colors are orange and block, while the sweet pea is the official flower of the organization. The present house, the newest house on the hill, was pur- chased and remodeled by the Sig Chis in 1937, sometime after a fire had destroyed their former home. Last fall the Home- coming house-decorating committee awarded the first prize to the Sig Chis for their unique decorations. Strictly exclusive at the house is a short-wave radio transmitter, property of one of the brothers. A complete photo-developing laboratory is the property of another of these hobby-minded gents. Having over- come several reverses of fortune, Sig Chi is growing rapidly. They pledged twenty-two men at the end of the rushing season. ACTIVES: H. Bischoff, R. Burendt, A. Dietrich, M.

Poul Wachholz is now in charge of the His- panic room of the Congressional library in Washington. The Rev. Mr. Alvaro Carino is an institutional missionary, while Ernst Flowtow has recently received his PhD. at the University of Berlin. Howard Geselle is a criminologist for the Iowa State police. Faculty honoraries are Dr. E. G. Schwiebert, Mr. Richard Schoenbohm, and Mr. Vergil E. Berry. llThe Sweetheart of Sigma Chill serves the boys quite well as a fraternity song, as any pledge will tell you. Sig Chis can be quickly spotted in any lineup of athletic or scholastic leaders. They are the only fraternity to win field day honors six years in succession. Page One Hundred Seven Page One Hundred Eight THE only national professional fraternity on the campus is the Zeta Chapter of Sigma Delta Kappa, one of the most rapidly growing low fraternities in the country. The Valpo Chapter received its charter in i9i6, when the national organization gave Valparaiso lawyers permission to organize. Their membership dwindled during the war and they were more or less dormant until their renaissance in 1920. In 1922 the organization had 35 members on their roster. ACTIVES: E. Dawold, J. Fuzy, W.

The East five or six years have seen them move about so often that even the Si De Kas had to think twice before going home. This year, in the celebration of their twenty-fifth anniversary, the boys have bought a lot, and will soon own the newest house on the Hill. Honorary faculty members of the organization are Dean J. W. Morland, of the Law School, Dean of Students H. H. Kumnick, and Prof. Vergil E. Berry, instructor in law. Alumni of the Valparaiso chapter of Sigma Delta Kappa are prominent in legal circles throughout the United States. All lawyers and pre-legal students are eligible for member- ship in Si De Ka. Because of the comparatively small number of pre-legal students each year, the lawyers experience no little difficulty in obtaining a new crop of pledges. To remedy this situation, lFC has established a ruling that no freshman or undergraduate enrolling as a pre-legal student may be rushed by any social fraternity during the course of his first semester at Valpo. Despite the heavy load carried by these boys, they do manage to find time for participation in extra-curricular activities. They are prominent in the social life on the campus, in Student Coun- CH, and in athletics. President H. HELBLING Sigma Delta Kappa Page One Hundred Nine IhWERSORORWY COUNCH MARJORI E JOHNSTON President REPRESENTING the tour sororities of Valparaiso University are the eight members of the Inter-Sorority Council. Each sorority is represented by two of its members. Marjorie Johnston, Gamma Phi, is president of the organization; June Haeger, Alpha Phi Delta, is vice-president. Anna Luise Bangert, Sigma Theta, and Loreen Gase, Alpha Xi Epsilon, serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively. The four remaining members are Julila Hempel, Alpha Phi; Arlene Plunkett, Gamma Phi; Viola Wrede, Alpha Xi; and Evelyn Herscher, Sigma Theta. The purpose of the Inter-Sorority Council is to encourage a feeling of friendship among the four girls' organizations. The objective of a sorority is to promote a feeling of sisterhood and good will among its members. Each organization has its own way of accomplishing this end; the Council, how- ever, is needed for unification. A good many things have been said for and against sororities. Some contend that they are partial to a few, reserving the spirit of companionship for their own members. Whatever the opinion may be, the fact remains that the sororities need the control afforded by such a group as the InterFSorority Council. Emphasis must be placed on the social iife if a friendly feeling is to be created. Several weeks after the beginning of the fall term the Council invites all of the girls, as well as the wives of faculty members, to a tea in the reception hall of the girls' dormitory. On this occasion each freshman girl is given an opportunity to become better acquainted with those who are to Page One Hundred Ten be her associates, in class and on the campus, during her four years at Valparaiso. With this tea, the rushing season is formally opened. The control of the sororities is in the hands of the ISC, and thus it assumes the responsibility for formulating rules for rushing and pledging. During the rush period, each sorority member has the right to entertain any unorganized girl in any way she wishes, subject of course, to the regulations of the Coun- cil. Each sorority is permitted to invite any number of freshmen girls to its rush party; these parties highlight the girls' social season. During a silent period of three days, during which no communication is permitted between organized and unorganized girls, the rushees are given an opportunity to select the sorority of their choice without lost-minute prompting. At the end of the silent period, each sorority turns in to the rushing com- mittee of the ISC a list of the girls it wishes to pledge. Each rushee is then asked to fill out a ballot with her first and second choice and drop it into a ballot box. These ballots are checked with the lists, and each sorority is given the list of its new pledges. Requirements for joining a sorority are twelve hours of C and one semester attendance at the University. The ideals of the Inter-Sorority Council are to encourage friendship among the sororities, to help in keeping high standards, to encourage scholarship, and to defend the individual interests of the sororities.

LPHA PHI DELTA had its beginning with the reorganization of the old Owl Club, on October 25, 1917, thus giving the organization claim to the title oldest girls' organization on the Hill. The sunburst rose was chosen as the flower, and old rose and grey were adopted as the official colors of the sorority. The motto of the group, Fidelity, emphasized the desire and aim of the members to form stronger, truer, and more lasting bonds of friendship. Alpha Phi claims the distinction of being the only group of organized girls on the campus publishing on official organization paper. Alpha Ph Delta President! POLLY WHEELER As president, Polly Wheeler, 0 first year law student, runs the organization; June Hoeger, as vice-president, assists her in carrying out the plans of the group. Dorothy Ressmeyer holds the position of secretary, and Jean Morlcmd is treasurer. The organization began its social activities of the year with its rush party at the Valparaiso Country Club. Later, the pledges entertained the actives in a progressive spread, held in the dormitory. A party given in honor of the pledges on January 6 was carried out with a Northwoods theme. Biggest event of the year is the annual theater party in Chicago. The girls have their share of representation in the University choir and on the TORCH and UHLAN staffs. Several others show off their dramatic ability in the University Players' productions. The girls are interested in sports of all kinds, from ping-pong to the most strenuous athletic endeavors. Page One Hundred Thirteen Page One Hundred Fourteen Presidents KRONBACH E. KRUSE Gamma Phi THE organization and chartering of Gamma Phi took place on August 5, 191 8. Seven girls were members at that time. The purpose for which Gamma Phi was, and still is, organized is to encourage a spirit of true sisterhood, to develop a high mental and moral standard, and to promote collegiate activities by taking an active part in them. The colors of the sorority are purple and white, while the flower is the violet. Gamma Phi is distinguished for the fact that it is the only sorority on the Hill which elects new officers each semester. During the first semester, Irma Kronbach was president, Carolyn Miller, vice-president, Tina Brauer, secretary, and Ethel Kruse, treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester, Ethel Kruse was elected president of the sorority. Marjorie Johnston succeeded to the position of Qice-president, while the new secretary is Carolyn Miller, and the treasurer is Alice Pearl Kramer. ACTIVES: J. Ahlbrand, T. Brouer, H. Grosnick, R.

McKee, E. Kuechle, J. Doering. At the beginning of the year, Gamma Phi held its annual rush party at the Valparaiso Country club. The formal affair, as usual, opened the social season for Gamma Phi. Several other parties were sponsored by Gamma Phi during the course of the year, a Sadie Hawkins party at the gym highlighting the season. The interests of Gamma Phi are not confined to any one or two activities, as is shown by their participation in athletics, choir, dramatics, and in work on the TORCH and UHLAN staffs. ' Page One Hundred Fifteen Page One Hundred Sixteen Presidents V. WREDE D. MACKENSEN A LPHA XI EPSILON was first organized as a Greek-Ietter organization in the spring of 1919. In the fall of that year, the five girls, Mabel Kreazy, Cecil Painter, Annie MacAllan, Bernice Shautz, and Amber Vrooman, who had started the original club, organized as a sorority, as it was at that time that the University gave its official sanction to sororities and fraternities. Mrs. Talcott was selected as faculty adviser. The sorority stands for the intellectual, social, and physical development of its members. Blue, pink, and gold are the identifying colors of Alpha Xi, while the official flower is the forget-me-not. Friendship is loyalty is the motto under which the members have worked and played since 1919. President of the sorority is Viola Wrede, and the vice-president is Phyllis Burton. The minutes of the meetings are kept by Mabel Grace Freehauf, while Lauretta Riske, as treasurer, collects the dues. Betty Klewin acts as corresponding secretary. SENIORS: A. Borum, P. Burton, M.

'Diehl, M. Torgler, Ra Trier, M. Selle. The social season of Alpha Xi this year was opened with a rush party at the Valparaiso Country club. A Chinese atmosphere and an appropriate theme did much towards making this party one of the highlights of the social season. Each semester, plans are made for one important social function as well as for several smaller parties for the girls and their dates. Alpha Xi's are interested in all forms of campus activities. W.A.A. and the University Players claim many Alpha Xis in their rolls. Several of the girls have Idistinguished themselves not a little in the music department, while quite a number are members of the University choir. Page One Hundred Seventeen Page One Hundred Eighteen STGMA THETA sorority evolved from the Old Roselle club, which was organized in 1917; shortly after Greek-letter organizations were officially recognized by the University officials, Sigma Theta, in August, 1919, was established as an academic, social sorority. The official colors of the organization are blue and gold; the flower is the cornflower. The purpose of the group is the promotion of a higher type of social life and the stimulation of scholarship. The motto adopted by the sorority is Seek Sincerity, Truth, and Honor. Anna Luise Bangert has the president's chair during the present academic year. Next to her is Evelyn Herscher, vice-president. Virginia Vogel holds down the position of secretary, and Dorothy Huber is treasurer.

PLEDGE: Marion Helms. The social activities are begun each year with the annual rush party. This year's rushees were entertained at a formal party at Millacoma Lodge. The atmosphere was decidedly Mexican, with entertainment provided by a marimba band. Favors 0 la Mexico, were presented to each of the prospective pledges. During the rushing season, prospective pledges and actives were invited to the home of Dr. Lindberg for a Sunday morning breakfast. Shortly after Christmas vocation, the Sigs invited their dates to a theatre party at the Premier, follow- ing a spaghetti dinner at the Club Royalee. The interests of these girls cover a wide field. They sing in the choir; they are active in dramatics and in all types of athletics. They are TORCH and UHLAN staff members, as well as loyal members of Gamma Delta. Virginia Vogel, secre- tory of the group, was selected Homecoming queen this year. Page One Hundred Nineteen Mqued' voices meet the gavel's fall 553$; TQH Years of During the past decade the Student Council of Val- poraiso University has been a potent factor in co-ordinat- ing extro-curriculor affairs and student organizations on the campus, definitely providing its worth in forming a unified uni- versity group. Since its organiza- tion in 1930, the Council has relieved the administration of many routine duties, leaving it more time to attend to purely administrative functions. H. HELBLING H. HEINECKE President Treasurer During these ten years the powers of the Council have been gradually increased, until at the present time it supervises prac- tically all student activities, the TORCH, the UHLAN, dramatics, debate, band, orchestra, Homecoming, and Freshman week coming under its jurisdiction. The Lecture-Entertainment Com- mittee has complete charge of the student lyceum programs, making contacts with outside entertainers and lecturers and arranging for their appearance. An- other committee prepares the calendar of recreation and social entertainment during the academic year. Membership in the Council consists of four officers chosen from the student body at large, representatives from each of the several colleges, and the president Page One Hundred Twenty-two of each student tribunal. Present officers are Harold Helbling, president; lrmo Kronboch, vice-president; Harold Heinecke, treasurer, and Marjorie Johnston, secretory. When Student Council was organized in 1930, it was recognized by the administration only as a pro- bationary body, subject to an Executive Board com:- posed of members of the administration and Council officers. In 1935 the Executive Board was abolished and the Council put on its own, although still under probation. Now, after ten years of service to the school, in which it has definitely proved its worth and integrity in the regulation of student affairs, Student Council is still on probation. There is no need for this situation. As soon as official approval and formal recognition by the administration has been received, and only then, can Student Council assume its full responsibilities and powers on the campus. This recog- nition is fully warranted by the fine record of this student governing body. Student Council GOVERNMENT Page One Hundred Twenty-three STUDENT COUNC PROGRAMS ATHOUSAND dollars to spend! What fun! But Joe Fuzy, chairman of the Student Council programs, says it is not as simple as that. That money is yours and mine, and we wont TWO thousand dollars' worth of entertainment from it. Stretching that thousand dollars over a period of nine months, picking a variety of programs to sat- isfy the great differences of wants and desires of the student body, meeting with agents, advertising JOSEPH FUZY and selling tickets, meeting and greeting the per- formers as they arrive, taking them out to dinner Music Morionettes Page One Hundred Twenty-four Gypsies afterwards, and trying to make a good impression on visitors for the school, perhaps'making a speech or two from the auditorium platform, and setting up the stage when necessary-these are some of the things that Joe does in his capacity as program chairman of the Student Council. About that thousand dollars again. It is a reduc- tion from last year's allotment, but we had more programs this year in spite of the cut. That's Fuzy again. You just have to dicker with the agents until they meet your price, he says, I spent most of my vacation last summer in Chicago buying programs for this year. The first program was the Continental Gypsy Ensemble; then an astronomical lecture by Dr. Al- bert M. Harding of the University of Arkansas. In November one of the largest crowds attended Treasure Island as played by Tony Sarge's mari- onettes. Catherine Van Buren, negro soprano, was another outstanding performer. Mr. Frederick Schuman, lecturer on foreign affairs, spoke in April. Also in April the Student Council presented a pianist and the Chicago Little Philharmonic orchestra. County Fair Some Fun :1? Page One Hundred Twenty-five Wl LLIAM SCHLENDER Business Manager Page One Hundred Twenty-six RAY SCHERER LOUIS E. LAMBERT Editor Faculty Adviser TORCH Modernization was the keynote of the TORCH'S policy this 'year. Probably the biggest single step toward modernization was the replacement of the ancient headline type with the newest thing in that line. This, coupled with new column rules and a new, modern name plate, made the TORCH a rather mechanically attractive college paper: Another feature of this year's TORCH which particu- larly appealed to the student body was the large selection of pictures; at least one in every issue. The pictures were taken by a staff photographer and developed and engraved in Valparaiso. The TORCH has supported the administration in all of its major policies, a consideration which the administration returned by permitting the TORCH greater freedom of expression than in previous yeats. Just at the beginning of the second semester, a deluge swamped the staff from which they have not yet fully recovered. One week a slightly smelly poem was found pinned to the staff's bulletin board, whereupon one of the staff got the brilliant idea of award- ing the Pewlitzer prize to its author. For weeks after the notice of the award appeared, the staff was buried in a swamp of amateur verse, some good, most bad. An innovation of the second semester was the Blow- torch, a column of personal anecdotes designed to replace gossip columns of previous years. Its author's identity, for good and valid reason, remained a staff secret and will so remain until he or she has his or her diploma safely clasped in his or her hand. Thanks to the formation of an International Relations Club on the campus, there was enough student interest in world affairs to justify the inclusion of a current events column in each issue. As far as possible, the column was kept non-controversial and factual. At times, the staff seriously considered the possibility of issuing a siX-page paper in order to handle the additional advertising. Several large contract acts were signed up during the year. As in previous years, the staff was pitifully small, 25 people at the highest. However, of this number, there are several promising underclassmen who will be good for another three years. The abilities of these freshmen became quite evident in their freshman edition last February when, with Dick Haratine as editor, they put out a paperithat made the old guard a little bit jealous of their jobs. Heading the staff were Editor Ray Scherer and Business Manager William Schlender, the Chief and Willie. John Strietelmeier was associate editor; John Patterson, managing editor; Al Looman, news editor; Dick Haratine, sports editor; Lois Wyneken, co-ed editor; and Janet Steben, art editor. Arlene Huff and Annetta Amling were proof- readers, and Wilbert Luley staff photographer. Reporters were Ferd Burgman, Byron Holst, Carol Miller, Richard Rust, Norman Witte, Anna Zink, Charles Kern, Doreen Nitsch, and Robert Rehling. There were almost as many editors as reporters. Warren Goetz was assistant business manager; Martina Brauer, Circulation manager; and George Reinker, advertising salesman. Holding a position created especially for him, Robert Dannenfelser was student adviser, helping Mr. L. E. Lambert, the faculty adviser. wJOHN STRIETELMEIER. EDWlN A. KURTZ EDWARD W. KASE . . .Bus. Mgr. ...... Editor Page One Hundred Twenty-eight STAFF UHLAN Our school year is about over. These words stir up in me an admixture of feelings; for it was only a short while ago that I started to build this bookeThe Uhlan. There have been times when I have felt that the book was not worth the grief, the worry, and the anxiety that are naturally synonimous with the pride and the joy of the undertaking. However, as with all other projects, as the work progressed the burden slowly lifted and the end seemed more cheerful. My static and myself have attempted, informally, to bring to you somewhat of a cross-section of the life on our campus with its underlying theme of love and of christian fellowship. In the process, we may have seemed brusque at times, and I would herewith ask forgiveness for any injustice or partiality we may have shown. I would also like to thank my Business Manager, Ed. Kose for the fine work he has done in his advertis- ing campaign which has made a good portion of this book possible; our Faculty Adviser, Mr. Lambert; Mr. Sutton, our Class Photographer; Mr. Fenstermaker, our John and Ollier representative; Mr. Mullen, our Fowle Printing Co. representative; my staff members, and the student body and faculty for the fine spirit of cooperation they have shOWn us this year.

Page One Hundred Twenty-nine AH the World's a Stage And all the Men and Women Merely Players To start off the dramatics season at Valpo, Mr. Bastian gave a party for Thespian-in- clined Valpoites. Then the freshman set the pace with the presentation of a one-act play, as an indication of their dramatic stuff. And their stuff was good. The upper-class University Players had a peaceful and intelligent revolt. Instead of the usual modern college production, they delved into Shakespeare and pulled out Orson Welles' version of the bard of the Avon's Twelfth Night. New talent proved stage-worthy. While extensive practice went on in front of the curtain, stage manager Joe Cannon and his assistants spent many weary hours build- ing the elaborate sets for the play. All sets, as well as the costumes for the play, were de signed by Janet Steben, talented campus artist. Co-operation of several girls on the campus was secured to display their costume- making ability, and several beautiful Eliza- bethan costumes were executed under the guiding hands of June Haeger and Irma Kronbach. After several months' hard work by mem- bers of the cast and of the stage crew, ye olde opera house was the scene of three perform- ances of the much-advertised Twelfth Night. Several alumni Players showed up the second night to pass judgment. Comments on the play were very encouraging.

ORCHESTRA Page One Hundred Thirty-two EARL L. FROST Director THE Valparaiso University Symphony Orchestra this year was larger than it has been for several years; the instrumentation was more complete and better balanced; and the playing of the group has also improved. Mr. Frost, the conductor, director, librarian, personnel mon- ager, janitor, and general handyman for the orchestra, waved his baton over forty members at the first concert of the year on Jan- uary i 8, Che of the coldest nights of the year. With the thermometer indicating sixteen or seventeen below zero outside, the girls, dressed in formals, and the boys, in dark suits, tried to keep their teeth from making more noise than their instruments, and played a very good concert. Schubert's Unfinished Symphony was the featured selection. Miss Phyllis Burton, pianist for the orchestra, assisted with two piano solos. A second concert was given in the spring. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening from seven to eight o'clock, except during examinations, the orchestra assembles on the third floor of Music Hall and rehearses symphonies, overtures, suites, marches, and tone poems. At the beginning of the year the chairs were placed on the dais at the front of Recital Hall, but as the organization grew, the whole floor had to be used to seat everyone. Over one-third of the members are townspeople or high school students who are interested in playing good music with a large group. Rather than resenting this outside participation, the student members appreciate it. The bigger the orchestra, the more inter- esting is the music which can be played. Students are always given preference in the seating arrangement, and when there is any doubt as to the superiority of one over another, seniority rights are considered. The orchestra serves as a training ground for new players, for student conductors, and for student composers. It comes in handy between the acts of the University Players' productions. Besides, it gives the musicians at least two hours of practice a week and forces them to keep their instruments in repair. Most of the players enjoy translating little black notes into sounds, squeaky or otherwise. Mr. Frost, whose full name is Earl Laurine, is a quiet sort of man who never loses his temper or raises his voice. Even his most severe criticism could not anger anyone. He finds fault with the orchese tra's playing like this: That was just this much iholding his thumb about one-sixteenth of an inch from the end of his batoni too slow. Let's try it again. Page One Hundred Thirty-three Page One Hundred Thirty-four Although the choir got c1 little later start this year because the Schoenbohm's were stranded in Germany until October 1, the delay did not affect the quality of the choir's singing at the annual Christmas concert December 10. The members just worked harder, and under Mr. Schoenbohm's very capable leadership they song even better than last year. The Christmas concert remains the greatest University attraction for the town of Valparaiso and vicinity. People come from cities all over the northern part of Indiana to enjoy the choir's music. The senior choir is composed of approximately sixty-five selected mixed voices. Most of the mem- bers have received Cl year's training in the freshman choir by the time they join the senior choir, but a few freshmen with exceptional voices may be ad- mitted without spending the entire year in prepa- ration with the younger group. A freshman who sings tenor has the best chance of getting into RICHARD SCHOENBOHM Director the choir this way. The music sung is usually written in eight parts, and is both sacred and secular. Solo parts are distributed among the better voices. The most important part of the year for choir members is the annual choir trip. This year the trip was not taken between semesters, as is the usual practice, for several reasons. The weather is usually unsettled at this time of the year. Students find it harder to make up work without hav- ing had the background of the first two weeks. The early Lenten and Eas- ter season make it harder to schedule concerts so near the beginning of Lent. Finally, the choir has more time to prepare its concert music. The choir sang at the dedication of the new health and physical education building, at the Christmas convocation, from the baicony of the courthouse just before Christmas vacation, and at the Lenten services. This year the choir sang The Seven Last Words by Du- bois at the weekly Lenten services and for a special convocation before Easter vacation. The freshman choir is useful to others as well as to itself. This choir takes care of the Sunday morning church services at the Immanuel Luth- eran Church during the year they are in training. There are no restrictions for choir membership except that the individual be able to sing and be willing to prac- tice one hour daily. Each member must, however, maintain a C average in his regular class work.

Page One Hundred Forty-three s Essex! Ki NCE a day the old campus bell tolls to call a halt to the never-ending quest for in- tellectual gain and to summon us to chapel. Faculty members and students join in worship and hear the Word which is able to make us wise unto salvation. The daily climbing of the auditorium stairs seems to be quite a chore at first, but the regular trek up and down the way soon becomes one of the best habits of college life. In a survey conducted on our campus an overwhelming majority of our students claimed that next to the guidance received from their instructors and supervisors, chapel exercises were most helpful to them. We join in song during the chapel exercises. There are hymnse-familiar onesewho could for- get them! Then we hear an address by the clean or by one of his colleagues or a visiting clergy- man. These addresses aim to be short but full of meaning and inspiration. This year the dean de- livered a series of short talks on certain Christian fundamentalsethe Ten Commandments, the Creed, the prayer. Gamma Delta asked that some of these addresses be published. Again and again, God's grace in Christ Jesus is pronounced upon us in chapel. The organ music, the hymns, the Scripture reading, prayer and benedictioneall blend into a harmonious program of worship; worship which hollows the name of God and makes the work in the class- room and laboratory seem so much lighter and brighter. The bell rings once more. Faculty mem- Page One Hundred Forty-four CHAPEL DEAN H. H. KUMNICK ....m.:. m. mw-I FREDERICK WILLIAM KROENCKE bers and seniors file out first; then the juniors, followed by the sophomores, and last, but not least, our freshmen. Chapel is over but the bless- ings remain. A special convocation was held in the Univer- sity auditorium at the beginning of the second semester, to honor the memory of the late Dr. Frederick William Kroencke, beloved Dean of Valparaiso University. A bronze memorial plaque and a large portrait of the late Dean were pre sented to the faculty, and accepted in its behalf by Acting President W. G. Friedrich. Dean H. H. EVERY MORN' Plaque in memory of Frederick William Kroencke Kumnick, a close associate and warm friend of the late Dean, opened the convocation with a prayer. Fitting words were spoken which gave us an insight into the character and Christian heart of this great man. Most of us remember Dr. Kroencke not so much for his undoubted abilities as an administrative officer in trying times, as we remember him for his eminently human qualities and his un- ostentatious genuine Christianity. His Christianity did not stop with such outward manifestations of a Christian life as going to church, contributing to its support, serving it in various official capacities, and encouraging his fellow men to go with him. He was a real friend. He was never too busy to listen to the academic or personal problems of either faculty members or students and to give them his counsel. This is the man whose memory will always be honored as an administra- tive officer, as a counselor, as a fellow citizen, as a friend, and as a Christian gentleman. His life will be an inspiration to many hundreds of students yet to comee-the Valpo lads and co-eds of tomorrow.
