One of the "newsiest" bits of news
from Tau is the announcement of three
new pledges: Mildred Banks, Dorothy
Sonnenfeld, and Maxine Swenson. They
were pledged during informal rushing
and are correspondingly well known on
the campus for unusual pep, dramatic
ability, and scholarship. Jean Ashton

fore that Barbara Estey ('33), said " I
do" to Hollis Greeman ('29).
During rushing we had four parties
the first week and three parties the sec-
ond week. Such themes as " A Country
Fair," "Radio Party," and " A Night
Club Party" were carried out. And, of
course, we had to have a "Depression
Party" to be consistent, as i t were. Re-
sults of the foregoing: five pledges: E u -
nice Baker ('35), Shirley Baldwin ('35),
Dorothy Wood ('35), Anne Woodcome
('35), and Marie Smeja ('35). I n the
pledges, they are: Katherine Burling-

In November the chapter attended the
University Symphony concert, and Pan-

team and is a candidate f o r managership
in that sport. Anita Prior ('33), attended
the * B K banquet. One of our most am-
bitious pledges, Katherine Burlingham
('35), is trying for the highest scholar-
ship award in painting. Judging from
this list I am inclined to think that per-
haps that visit from Edith Ramsey Col-
lins, our District Superintendent, was a
big incentive. Ev-^y one o.c-us enjoyed
that pep-talk and may I ly that we
are all looking forward to another de-
lightful visit with our thoroughly
charming officer.
The approach of the Christmas holi-
days gives a splendid opportunity for
philanthropic work. We have co-oper-
ated with the City Unemployment Bu-
reau in the "Man-a-Block" plan. We
have also contributed to the Medical
students campaign to launch parties for
needy city children, and many of the
girls in the chapter are active in the
Student Relief Fund which is being i n -
stituted in Syracuse to help about two
hundred students who otherwise would
not be able to return to college after
the holidays.
The chapter will attend Hendricks
Chapel on December 13 in observance
of Founders' Day. Thursday of that
week will be our last get-together before
vacation. At this time we shall hold
our annual Christmas slumber party at
the house.
