will give a twelve minute stunt. A beautiful silver loving cup will
be given for the best stunt. A little later we girls will be given a
chance to show what we can do. Thursday evening of inter-
scholastic week each sorority will put on a stunt and a prize will be
given for the most clever one.

You will be interested to know that one of Iota's girls, Susan

Hash, ex-'12, was married on New Year's day.
We have heard recently of the birth of Margaret Alice to Mr. and

Mrs. Charles Nolte. Mrs. Nolte was formerly Maud Bacon, one
of Iota's faithful workers.

Tau started the year with nine active members, Leota K i r l i n and
Margaret Scott not returning. Leota and Margaret will be back
next year, however, for which we are very thankful because we have
six seniors. We were sorry to have Betty leave us shortly after school
opened, but the doctors ordered her to a sanitorium where she is
getting along famously, and planning to return to college next year.

We have pledged five girls since the opening of school. They
are: Mae Middleton, Marshall, Minn.; Viola Miner, Minneapolis,
M i n n . ; Edith Mitchell, Desmet. South Dakota; Gladys Armstrong,
Brookings, South Dakota; and June Wimer, Minnesota, Minn. Mae
and Viola have been initiated. We intend to initiate the others on
January 14.

According to the new Pan-Hellenic ruling no freshman may be
pledged until May 16. The bids will then be sent out by a lawyer.
The rules governing freshman rushing are very rigid and strictly en-
forced.

The only large party we have had was a dinner and dance for
freshmen, given in Shevlin Hall. After the Chicago-Minnesota
game, November 15, we had our first open house. Considering our
inexperience we were rather nervous, but many friends called, and we
were more than satisfied with our first affair.

Tau does not want to boast, but to show you that we are trying
to do our best, we want you to know that we rank second among
Minnesota sororities in scholarship, according to a report issued from
the registrar's office.

We extend our best wishes for a successful New Year to all the

other A O IPs.
