36 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

EDITORIALS

T T is F I T T I N G that this number, going to press rather early in the school
year, be devoted to scholarship. The annual report of the Scholarship

Officer appears, some reprints from our exchanges, and pictures and
articles about our last year's Phi Beta Kappas and Pi Lambda Thetas.
The scholarship report is necessarily incomplete, but should there be any
additions to it, they will be duly recorded in the magazine. All honor
to Alpha Phi, who, as the record now stands, holds first place in Alpha
Omicron Pi scholarship, and to these girls whose efforts have been re-
warded by the golden keys. We are proud to call attention to the fact
that they have not only been good students, but they have participated
actively in all phases of college and fraternity life.

' I * H A N K S G I V I N G will soon be here, and the Editor has many things to be
thankful for. She is thankful that there were no late letters, and

that only two active and two alumnae letters are missing. Then she is
thankful because the Dallas Alumnae letter is so interesting and read-
able. Only three chapters used the wrong size paper, and only one of
those had to be completely rewritten. She is thankful that every one didn't
capitalize "Fall." write "libary." mention her "wonderful pledges," or
write "possibley." All levity aside, the chapter letter is more nearly
complete than it has been for some time, and the material, in general,
came in in better shape. Our cup would fairly run over if more people
would send newspaper clippings and poems, and if the Alumnae Assist-
ants to To D R A G M A took their work a little more seriously, sending more
Alumnae Notes, and better ones. Won't you help make Thanksgiving
day come four times a year for the Editor, instead of only once?

A L L O F us cannot travel, and many of us who cannot often feel that
1 compelling urge to learn of strange places, of people and modes of liv ing
different from our own. To D R A G M A invites you who must perforce be
"rocking chair travelers" into far climts with her, for, by means of
letters, extracts from letters, and brief articles from our more fortunate
sisters, we who must sit at home may visit Peru, China, the Canal Zone,
Korea, and all manner of fascinating places. This month a trip around
the world is yours, for the reading, and visit to the great wall of China
or a tea with Manchu ladies of high degree. Will you join us in our
explorations?

\\T I T H T H I S I S S U E , the vocational Guidance Committee begins a series

of articles along vocational lines. From now on we hope to print,
in each number of the magazine, several short articles on some of the
various professions and occupations open to women, by women of our own
organization who have achieved success in their chosen work. It is
hoped that these articles may be of help to some of you.
