Chi Members Hold Important Journalistic Positions
By DORIS BURLEIGH, Syracuse University
I received a letter from Wilma Smith
Leland stating that she would like to
see more of Chi's activities in our To
DRAGMA, since we have been somewhat
reserved in announcing abilities. The
old quotation "still water runs deep''
seems to fit us exceedingly well, for we
have run deeply into Syracuse University
activities, many of which would be lead-
erless if our "still water" disappeared.
Perhaps the Daily Orange, our univer-
sity newspaper, would suffer most, since
Mary Youdan ('30), is the Women's
Managing Editor, Betty Brown ('31), is
the Circulation Manager, Ruth Boltwood
('32), and Helen Betchley ("32), are as-
sistant associate business managers, Helen port, Conn.; Anne Killeen, Dalton, Mass.
Downing ('32), is assistant associate edi- Here let me add that Edwina Jones ('32),
tor, and Hazel Jordan is at present, a
candidate for the business staff.
Panhellenic would be at a loss without
Edna Faust ('30), its president, who is
doing splendid work in connection with

bourine and Bones, one of the university
dramatic societies. Alice Shannon ('31),
Mary Keith ('32), and Ruth Thomas
(31), are in the university chorus which
about to give "Carmen" while Lois
Haskins ('33), Mary and Alice are in
'he chorus of the opera, "Orpheus,"
which is being produced on campus. We

Barbara Estey ('33).
Grace Oberlander ('30), our presi-

During the fall we enjoyed the visit
of Anna H. E. Dorsey (Pi Delta), and
Ruth Bennett (Phi). Both of these girls
are located at Rochester, Minnesota. We
hope to see them again.
The Mothers' Club is very busy at
present planning a rummage sale, the
proceeds of which will go to furnishing
our new house.
Tau girls have been dreaming about,
planning for, and anticipating the joy
of this new house next year. The fervor
of our interest has been heightened by
the tentative plans that have been drawn
for us to study.
glad that they are serving Alpha O so
loyally. But college life cannot last for-
ever for them and so looking ahead into
Chi's future life, we have chosen twelve
of Syracuse University co-eds as pledges
this fall, who will keep our light shining
as brightly as ever on campus. They are:
Vivian Burtis, Cortland, N.Y.; Nedra
Eason, Syracuse, N Y . ; Barbara Estey,
Ilion, N Y . ; Gertrude Flinn, Poughkeep-
sie, N.Y.; Lois Haskins, Cincinnatus,
N.Y.; Helen Henry, Syracuse, N Y . ;
Hazel Jordan, Pelham, N Y . ; Ann Kall-
felz, Syracuse, N Y . ; Marian Maier,
Rochester, N.Y.; Margaret Quackenbush,
Johnstown, N.Y.; Margaret Sander, Sala-
manca, N.Y.; Margaret Strivings, Bridge-
from Nu chapter has transferred here,
and we all welcome her cordially.
Being so proud of all our new pledges,
we decided to give them a dance to show
them how really glad we are to add their
handclasps to our good-night circle
which, by the way, is our customary way
of closing our parties, while we sing
"Alpha Omicron Pi." The Colgate tea
dance followed soon after with the de-
lightful surprise of Thelma Casey's ('29),
announcement of her engagement to
Lewis Burnett ('29), Phi Kappa Tau.
We may also add here the engagement of
Katherine Brown ('30), to Weller Embler
('29), Sigma Chi. Katherine, who is a
student in the school of Oratory, is do-
ing her bit too, as a member of Zeta
Phi Eta, honorary oratorical fraternity,
of Boar's Head, all university dramatic
ary educational fraternity.
