140 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

EDITORIALS

TT H E E D I T O R ' S C H R I S T M A S G I F T
H E E d i t o r wishes to say just a word about one of the pleasures
of her Christmas season. Besides preparing f o r the festivities,
there were many details concerning the magazine coming to her and
sometimes i t seemed as though the hours were too short. As she
sat down to her desk o n the twenty-ninth of December and recorded
her letters, it was one of her very best g i f t s to find that not one
single active chapter letter was late. I t pays to t r y to be on time.
Let us a l l make a N e w Year's resolution to be on time w i t h a l l T o
DRAGMA material in nineteen hundred twenty.

T H E ASSISTANT EDITOR

T T H A S seemed wise to change the title o f E d i t o r o f Chapter
A Letters to Assistant Editor. Miss Hiestand already has done
a great deal of valuable work f o r the magazine and the new title
more completely covers her duties. She is to have charge of the
western correspondence, as assigned geographically i n the Septem-
ber issue.

"Betty" needs no introduction to A l p h a O's, but the E d i t o r
wishes to say that she feels very fortunate and greatly relieved to
have such a splendid co-worker on the staff.

FRATERNITY FINANCES

I T H A S been a pleasure to compile this issue and f r o m the vari-
ous chapter reports o n finances and chapter house conditions, i t
should not only bring pleasure but many valuable suggestions to
the chapters. Is i t too much to desire that each chapter of this
f r a t e r n i t y have a budget system? W h y not r u n our f r a t e r n i t y fi-
nances in a true businesslike manner? I t is such a satisfaction to
know that there is a reserve account, no matter how small. A l -
though not all chapters were heard from, yet the reports here printed
show that each chapter strives to meet its obligations.

It was planned to have articles by the members of the Finance
Committee f o r this issue but the chairman has been i l l and the
committee has not had enough information and experience on the
subject yet.
