Gflmmfl PHI BCTfl MEDITATION

When he came to he ... himself, said, I will arise and go to iny father.-Luke 15:17, 18.

THERE is something strange about the language of the young prodigal who had squandered his inheritance seeking the pleasures of the world. Before he came to himself, who was he? He was not someone else, and yet he was not himself. .V distinguishing mark of a person as compared with any lower form of animal life is his to ability look at himself, sit in judgment upon himself, praise himself, condemn himself, pamper himself, discipline himself, deny himself, or fulfill himself. But when a man looks at himself, who is it that looks at whom? How can anybody be both subject and object at the same time? What is the solution of this dilemma?

The answer is that we are not simple, but multiple selves. Potentially, each of us is both a lower and a higher self, with other possibilities lying in between, and each contends for the supremacy and control of our lives. The higher self judges the lower, and the lower seeks to defy the higher. As long as the lower self rules there can be no abiding happiness. Animal satisfactions cannot satisfy for long one who has so much as tasted the higher values of the human spirit. We are involved in the animal world, but even more profoundly w'e belong to the world of the spirit. Tim latter is our real home, and we shall never experience self-fulfillment apart from it.

The easier course in life is to seek gratification for the alluring urges of the lower nature; but like the prodical, one who follows this way can never escape the insistent accusation of the higher self that he is guilty of falling short o�- what he ought to be. There is no peace of mind for one who for the sake of passing thrills starves the higher self. Joy and satisfaction are the abiding experiences only of those who turn their backs on the lesser desires and resolutely decide to li\e in the Father's house and seek the values which characterize His household. In that fellowship man fulfills his highest and truest self. Dr. Arthur C. Wickenden, Denison '75 Beta Theta Pi

1951 Florida State University in Tallahassee, the capital of

Florida, celebrated its hundredth as an institution �� IN anniversary 1^ of higher education, and its fourth year as a co-ed school. Also in 1951, Beta Mu chapter had its first birthday. The school in Tallahassee was chartered in 1851 as the West Florida seminary, later known as the Florida University. In 1905 the Florida college system was reorganized, and the Talla hassee school became the Florida State College for Women. In 1947 FSCW was transformed into Florida State University, and men were admitted for the first time in forty-two years. This shift to co-education has tripled the enrollment, and caused the academic program to be broadened. Florida State University has a varied scholastic program�from anthropology and classical languages through education and nursing to zoology�and offers advanced degrees including the Ph.D. A few particularly out standing schools and departments at FSU are the School of Music, the School of Education, the Department of Speech and the Department of Chemistry. The teaching faculty of over five hundred members includes such men as Ernst von Dohnanyi, the noted composer, artist Edmund Lewandowski, Dr. Meyer Nimkoff, and Dr. Moore, dean of the School sociologist, Coyle Main gates of Florida State University at Tallahassee, showing West of Social Welfare. cott Administration Building in background.

HAVE our house on Harrison Road!" These are the words WEthat the members ot Beta Delta Chapter have thought, dreamed and worked for since their founding at Michigan State College. This tall they moved from their cramped living quarters to a new and spacious house on Harrison Road which accommo dates forty girls. Approaching the house by the circular drive one sees the mod ern red and white brick structure centered on a wooded lot. The large plate-glass picture window at the right ot the front door gives an excellent view of the foyer. The huge living-room is sided with picture windows facing � the back terrace and has a large fireplace at one end. Beige traverse draperies with a gold thread and a sand-beige carpet highlight the carmel-blue walls. Blond furniture and woodwork represent a modern taste. An outstanding feature is the library off the living-room on the front of the house. The dining-room is decorated in coral and brown with blond furniture. The kitchen is a complete and modern functional unit. The house mother's attractive suite is located in a one-story "L" on the first floor. On returning to school this fall the girls worked hard at deco rating and painting their rooms to suit their own tastes. This gives each room warmth and individuality. The majority of the girls sleep in the third-floor dorm, leaving only one girl to sleep in each of the twelve rooms on the second floor.

artist's talent with the palette and brush has led Loise HERWhite into many interesting jobs since her gradu ation from University of B.C. in 1945. After two years at Art School where she won a scholarship, the pretty dark-haired Gamma Phi Beta was staff artist for the Extension Department at the university. She then went to Toronto to try her skill in the Litho-art section of a well-known printing firm. Now back home in Vancouver she does art work for Odeon Theatres, the British chain of movie houses. Variety is certainly her "spice of life." In her spare time she's always being called upon for various artistic efforts. For several years she's designed costumes for the Junior League of Van couver's annual cabaret and this year again the gorgeous cos tumes, themed on the Gay Nineties, were evolved from Loise's clever brush. Loise is following in the footsteps of her famous aunt, Mabel May, who is known tor her portrait and landscape paintings in Canada. J) J) J* Shirley Lynn
