UPSILON—UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

Studying has been the main diversion for the past weeks interspersed
with campus affairs and winter teas. During this fall quarter we have had
also four big "thrills" the announcing of the engagements of Florence
McMeekin to Gilbert Schwartz, of Martha Matzner to James Hull, Susan
Scofield to Nels Johanson, and Ethel McCart to Frank Jones. A n engage-
ment announced last summer was that of Betty Brattam to Jack Charles-
ton. Nearly all of these engagements came as surprises to the chapter
and furnished candy, flowers and excitement for many days.

Dorothy Numan of Ketchikan, Alaska after being away from Wash-
ington for two quarters, has returned. We are all mighty glad to have'
"Dot" with us again. We were sorry to lose Frances Dodds, this quarter
who went back to Oregon after being with us this fall.

The Freshman class is taking an active part in many campus affairs.
We have representatives in Freshman committees, Y. W. C. A . commit-
tees, A x and Grindstone (society for campus publications), Sacajawea
(debate) and in the annual "Lyre" work.

The yearly Junior Girls' Vodvil is to be produced soon. Gwendolyn
Showell, in cooperation with other writers on the campus is arranging a
skit which will try out f o r a place on the program.

NU KAPPA—SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY

Nu Kappa is delighted to report the initiation of eight girls this fall.
They are Theodora Elliott, Irene Wilson, Margaret Kizer, Alice Reynolds,
Zelia Blanche McClinton, Gracie Cocke, Doris Dowling, and Katherine
McDuffie. We now have fourteen active chapter members. We celebrated
Founders' Day by holding a special initiation service f o r Margaret Kizer,
followed by an informal tea for the active chapter, at the home of Cath-
erine Rasbury.

Two of our girls. Numa Ablowich and Zelia Blanche McClinton have
been elected to the Junior Arden Club, a dramatic society. We know that
they will do credit to A O n in that organization.

Our very trying rushing season ended just before Thanksgiving and
we are happy to say that it was most sucessful. Nu Kappa wishes to
introduce its new pledges—Mabel Hicks, Lois Moseley, Mildred Mitchell,
Melba Cannon, and Marguerite Grady. We are as proud as can be of
every one of them and we're just hoping that they'll all make a B
average so they can be initiated at the first opportunity. Soon after pledg-
ing we held open house honoring our new pledges whom we were so happy
to present.

I t is with deepest regret that we drop Irene Wilson's name from the
roll of Nu Kappa actives. Since the death of her sister a few weeks ago
she has been unable to return to the University. We deeply sympathize
with her in her sorrow and certainly wish that she could remain with us.

Katrina Overall McDonald and Rochelle Rodd Gachet are in the city
this week and Nu Kappa is more than pleased to receive them. We wish
that they could be with us more often but they are very busy attending
