Erdene's Sigma contacts have been very broad and her steady energy in Sigma's be­ half is well recognized in both New England and Florida where she spent one year of college days pursuing chemistry and allied sciences. Especial interest in science, secretarial train­ ing, and activity as a social secretary have been, perhaps, responsible for further de­ velopment of Erdene's very well-ordered mind. Exceptionally keen and fond of hu­ mour her friends find with her never a dull moment. (Not least in the category of events by which we adjudge her so good a sport was the jaunt to and from Poughkeepsie to be with a Sigma gaug when personal diffi­ culties made the trip something of a task.) A review of college schedule affirms the versatility of our college editor.

The Christmas parties are beautiful with decorations and a sparkling tree, heavily laden with toys and candy for each child to be presented by no other than Santa him­ self, assisted by a clown. It is a memorable sight to see the beaming faces, topped with multicolored paper hats, munching turkey drumsticks, blowing their horns in rhythm as the carols are gayly sung-accompanied by ac· cordian, banjo and piano music. At the last party Uncle Don of radio fame and Miss Rita Gould, stage and mo­ ti on picture actress, were the masters·of-ceremony.

Our good community functioned. In every respect the affair was a success. A large crowd came, filled all the tables in the hall, heartily enjoyed themselves, and warmly praised the young ladies' gracious hospitality and efficient management. The modest price charged each player, twenty-five cents, made the occasion ideally democratic. By bringing townsfolk and campus folk together under delig htful auspices the gathering contri'D · uted to Pullman's community li fe. As inevitably results from good management, the fin ancial results were most satisfactory. When Miss J ane Smithson, as president of Sigma Kappa, in an appropriate address presented Mrs. . F. Bohler, representmg the Pullman library board, lorty-three dollars with which to purchase new books for the Pullman children's library, a charming social success became crystalized into an admirable community service which will benefit our city for years to come. We learn wi th interest that the Sigma Kappa sorority plan to make the affair an annual event and wish them complete success in all their undertakings.

140 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE WITH OUR ALUMNAE CHAPTERS RUTH NoRTON DONNELLY, Editor -

M!SSIN.G CHAPTER LETTERS: Buffalo, Memphis, Nebraska, Puget Sound, San Diego, Yakima Valley, Tallahassee, Walla Walla. Summer is here, but before you go into the great silence that vacation brings on, we want to remind you of two important matters: rushing for the fall, and notifying the TRIANGLE of your new chapter offi­ cers. 1. Read the alumna:: letters for news of what alumna:: are planning to do to help the college chapters in rushing. In three states, Kentucky, Indiana, and California, state rushing chairmen have been appointed to help the college chapters in getting the names of rushees from the loyal, but absentminded, alumna::. Look for the name of the alumna who is handling rushing for yo,ur district; if you don't find it, write di­ rectly to the college chapter about the girls from your town who should be rushed. Remember that only by the cooperation of the alumna:: can the chapters get the best girls from each section. The chapters want and need the help of each of you. An.:! be sure to write FULL recommendations Sigma Kappa has a national ruling that girls cannot be rushed unless all is known about them. Get recommendation blanks if you can (from the college chapter or the alumna:: rushing chairman); if not, write a full history of the girl-her parents, her high school record, her particular charms, and why you recommend her. And if you think the college chapter has not paid proper attention to your recommendations in the past, remember your college rushing days and also try to remember whether you've been careful to be explicit in your remarks about her potential value as a Sigma. Finally, if you are really angry, write and tell the college chapter ... don't tell your next door neighbor. Each of us must give per­ sonal help to the college chapters this year if we wish Sigma to continue to prosper and grow. 2. As soon as your chapter elections are held, please send to the alumna:: editor (Ruth Norton Donnelly, 2454 Virginia street, Berkeley, Calif.) the name of next year's TRIANGLE correspondent. You might send the entire Jist of next year's officers, too; then we can start in September with correct names in the TRIANGL E, and a letter from each alumna:: chapter. Do it before the rush of summer activities starts; then we can wish you a pleasant summer, and also have one ourselves. R. N. D.
