in the house. The house dues of the town girls are also paid to the
house treasurer. T h e house manager pays the house rent, the f u e l
and grocery hills, and a l l house supplies. T h e house manager as-
signs housework to the girls. Usually there is a room furnished
and reserved f o r the town girls, but this year the house is so crowded
that this could not be done.

A t social affairs, the patronesses, together w i t h the housekeeper,
are our chaperons. There are special assessments levied f o r a l l
dances and dinner parties.

Upsilon Chapter owns its house, but owing to the fact that i t
is leased by the A l p h a Sigma Phis until next June, we are now
living in a rented house. We have more girls living at the house
than during any previous year, and this house is altogether too
small. By next year we hope to be i n our new home and so we are
t r y i n g to be very economical and save f o r the new house equipment.

The chapter expenses are met i n various ways. We have small
monthly dues, but f r o m the chapter treasury is taken the money f o r
the room rent and any expenses, except f o r social affairs, which are
met by special assessments. We have no house, so have no house
committee. We have a housekeeper who attends to the cleaning
of the room. She is chosen f r o m the active g i r l s and she sees that
the pledges take turns in assisting with the care of the room. I f
anyone fails to do her duty, there is a fine of twenty-five cents.

The arrangements f o r chaperons are these: seniors have no chap-
eronage, juniors must be chaperoned i f automobiling, sophomores
and freshmen must always be chaperoned a f t e r seven i n the eve-
ning, and we are only allowed in town twice during the week, even
in the day time.

T w o of the professors' wives are Alpha Omicron Pi members
and they take a great deal of interest in the active girls. They try
to see that our scholarship is high and are always ready to help
us no matter what our need. Mrs. Murley, our favorite faculty
hostess, is i n Chicago f o r the winter and we miss her very much
and are anxiously awaiting her return next year.

The questions o f chapter and f r a t e r n i t y expenses and as to how
they are met vary a great deal in accordance with whether the fra-
ternity maintains a chapter house. Beta Phi has a chapter house
and so we have set a regular rate f o r board and room, as they do
