OCTOBER, 1930 87

Tau Qirl Directs (jeneva Conference

HELEN STRAND (Tau), recently elected to -
Mortar Board, the honorary senior women's
organization at Minnesota, was in charge of the
Geneva Conference held at Geneva, Illinois, dur-
ing the latter part of June. This was a conference
of student Y.W.CA.'s from the Central States—
the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan and Indiana. There were about
600 present, and about forty of these delegates
were Minnesota students. Helen was student
executive—a great honor which entailed a great
deal of work and responsibility. In a conference
of this kind one's sorority naturally plays little
part, but Helen found one sister, Albertina Maslen,
president of our chapter at Ann Arbor.

After the conference was over, Helen stayed
for the regional council and was again elected chair-
man for this next year. As regional chairman,
Helen went to the executive meeting of the Na-
tional Student Council at Granville, Ohio (Denison University), August 30, 1930.
In her own words, Helen said " I t was a wonderful experience—working on
the plan of a conference with men like Kirby Page."—By FRANCES KADLEC, Tau

Theta St a Cfreshman Wins 'Pledge cRing

DOROTHY BEHYMER, a member of the
first pledge class of Theta Eta, won the
ring presented to the chapter by Carl W. Rich,
Cincinnati attorney, husband of Frances Ivins
Rich (Omega). Mr. Rich has offered to give
a ring each year to the most outstanding mem-
ber of the pledge class of Theta Eta. The
ring is to be awarded by a committee of upper-
classmen acting as judges and chosen by the
active chapter. This year a point system was
carefully planned, and it was on this basis the
judges awarded the gift to Dorothy Behymer.

Dorothy or "Dot" as she is best known,
attended Engineering College and was one of
the most prominent girls of her class. To
her credit she has the following list of activities:
reporter for the Co-op Engineer; reporter for
the University News; Vigilance Committee;
member of the Co-op Club; member of the
Y.W.C.A.; member of the Persian Athletic
League and she participated in the Greek
Games.

I t may be readily seen that "Dot" was a
ery busy girl during her freshman days, and this year promises to be an equally
tenuous one with all the organizations she has been asked to help,
f ,Xne judges claimed that competition for the ring was very keen this year,
o r Theta Eta had for its first pledge class one of the most enthusiastic and in-

trious g r ° u p of girls to be found anywhere.
