single one. They are just as fine qualitatively as they sound quantitatively
and we are sure that they will lend all they have towards the continuance
of good work.
The next picture is entitled Convention : A t our first regular meeting
our delegate, Margaret Jones gave us a very vivid account of her many
experiences she had during the days she spent at Radisson Inn. During
the summer we had been wondering just what did happen at convention
and when the time came for Margaret to tell us all about it, it is needless
to say just how we "lent her our ears." Her descriptions and stories spiced
with humor, evidence that she had seen a broader view of the real work,
made us feel as though, we had been there ourselves and we enjoyed hear-
ing about it so very much.
Our chapter has decided to make our plan for this year center around
National work. It is our purpose to buy a set of braces for a hospital
in Colorado and by the time exams come around we hope to tell everything
there is to tell about National work—that is. if teacher asks it.
The next work of art is Teas: It is an unfinished picture but there
is a clear outline of a fraternity house with girls, wearing A O n pins,
rushing in and out of it. Some are carrying in pieces of tapestry and satin
sofa pillows, while others, attired in knickers, are down on "all fours"
brightening up the much trodden floor. So you see we are all busy getting
ready for our prospective freshmen's arrival. The teas begin Sunday after-
noon, October 11. and we are all a flutter with excitement. We hope to do
well this year, and while we do not feel that we have many "sewed up"
yet the prospects are very encouraging.
We have just given two of our pictures to I I chapter, entitled Angie
Meredith and Pauline Clark. It was with great reluctance that we gave
them up but we are sure that they will look just as fine at n as they did
at Kappa.
When our last letter was written two officers had not been elected.
"Yosa" Winslow was elected college cheer leader and Betty Darling vice-

ham, Mary Addison, Cornelia Ayres, Zelma Harris, Agnes Hentzen, Gerald-
ine Hiekes, Beatrix Florance, Edvandean Hillyer. Enid Lakeman, Mildred
Stalil, Mildred Saul, Louise Wohlenherg and Dorothy Lewis.
Zeta Tate Allingham has been elected to "Mystic Fish" freshman girls
honorary society ; all of the new girls seem to be real all-around girls and
are showing particular interest in campus activity so we feel quite proud
of them.
Edith Simanek, '25, is our new president, successor to Margaret Wat-
son Edwards, '24. Other newly elected officers are: Marie Bowden. vice-
president, Alsamaine King, secretary and Frances Aiken, treasurer.
Nebraska A O H s are looking forward to the time when they will b?
able to move into their own home. This year we are situated some distance
from the campus but the lot already purchased for the new house is located
in sorority row only a block from the main campus district. Both active
and alumnae girls have been working to build the house fund. We are
hoping to be able to see the building under real construction early in Febru-
ary.
Zeta is particularly well represented on the Nebraska University faculty
this year—Elsie Pheiffer is assistant dean of women; Grace Tohnson. sec-
retary to the dean. Helen Reynolds, instructor in the Spanish department
and Pauline Gellately is assisting in the Dramatic Art Department.
