BILL ORDERS, who enrolled in Marshall in 1946 after serving two years in the Air Corps, hasn't confined himself to books alone but has been an active participant in campus activities. A staunch member at first, he later became president of the Independent Student Associa tion, which coupled with his hobby of "winning friends and influencing people," inspired the many students confident enough in his dependability to elect him President of the Student Body and the Student Council. Everyone who has had contact with him as president, as leader of the young people of his church, as "fountain boy" at the Student Union, or as fellow student, has found him a friendly and willing worker. With many jobs well done. behind him at Marshall, we wish Bill lots of luck in his preparation for the ministry at the sem inary next fall.

Your representatives on the Student Council, whether we have pleased you in every action or not, have certainly tried to do more for the Student Body this year than ever before; but reviewing the results of our efforrs, we hope you will agree with us that your Homecoming festivities, your Sadie Hawkins Day, your Spring Carnival, and your Prom were well worth all the worry and com mittee work that made them possible. We haven't been just a party planning group this year, though. We made life a little more interesting for the Fresh men by setting up a Freshman Rules Committee which, with the help of other organizations on the campus, helped acquaint the Frosh with the traditions of Marshall; and we added another scholar ship to the three we supported this year. Mid-year graduations resulted in our ob taining three valuable new representa tives: Betty Ann Reddington, Phyllis Tobin, and Johnny Cornell.

Charlei Prather and Joan May I were choien typical /reihman bo'V and girl at the IFC-Pan Hell dance in September. The Interfraternity Council is the governing body of the fraternity system at Marshall College. The membership is comprised of the president and one representative from each fraternity. From this group, the interfraternity officers are elected by secret ballot. The Council has two primary reasons for existence. In addition to its governing policies, it is the responsibility of the group to adopt rules and regulations pertaining to rush ing and pledging, serve as an organ for the dissemination of helpful suggestions in promoting better understanding among the fraternities and the srudent body, and to promote scholarship. Extending beyond the campus, the Council has always endeavored to improve relations between Marshall College

We sincerely feel that this not only helps to promote goodwill and understanding between fraternities and the citizens, but it also spreads the good name of the college. The Council sponsors each year an interfraternity sing which has proved to be quite successful. The Council has active participation in sponsorship of intramural sports. Cups and other prizes are given by the Council to the winning teams. The Interfraternity Council has enjoyed one of the best years in its history. We shall, however, continue to strive to improve conditions on the campus with the welfare of the smdent body in mind whether they are "Greek" or not.

Alpha Xi Delta was founded at Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, in 1893. After completing twenty-seven successful years as a local group Theta Rho Social sorority affiliated with Alpha Xi Delta and became Gamma Beta chapter. Among the sorority's symbols are the colors, double blue and gold, and the flower, pink rose. The Alpha Xi's are proud that they are the only sorority ro own their own house, which is located on Fifth Avenue. Alpha Xi opened the 1949 social season by welcoming back ro the campus old friends as well as new, when they entertained at open house in September. Rushing was a big event this year for Alpha Xi, for they hold the distinction of having the largest pledge class on the campus. Continuing through the year Alpha Xi participated in all activities; Homecoming was met with success and immedi ately afterward Alpha Xi placed in the Sadie Hawkins Day Finals. The new House Mother, Miss Elinore Theriault, was formally introduced ro the campus at a tea given for her at the Chapter house. Social Activities varied throughout the year. First Alpha Xi's and Theta Rho's combined their efforts to celebrate the last Founders' Day of Theta Rho, then the active chapter enter tained the pledges at the Greenhouse in Novem ber, and later pledge Caroline Mann, was chosen as Pi Kappa Sigma "Snowball Queen." One of the most novel dances of the year was the Alpha Xi's "Black Friday" formal given Friday, Janu ary 13, at the Cabaret Room. Another open house followed the Xavier basketball game February 13, at the Cabaret Room. Another open house followed the Xavier basketball game February 18. Closing our social season was the "Rose Formal" on April 29th, in the Cabaret Room. This year the girls of Alpha Xi gained recognition in such campus activities as College The:mc, Student Council, Greenhouse Associa tion, Departmental Clubs, Honoraries, and Who's Who In American Colleges and Uni verSities. The week-end of March 3, 4, and 5 was a memorable one for all. At this time Gamma I3eta Chapter was formally installed by the National Officers of Alpha Xi Delta.

We Lambda Chapter lasses of Delta Sigma Epsilon have had a grand-to-remember 1949-50 of work, play, projects-and just plain fun! The first big event of the year-after rushing, of course- was Homecoming. And we recall as fondly as proud parents our sororiry HELEN ANDERSON KITTY BURGESS house decoration which won first prize. Even better than that "Toasted Bobcat" looked on the front porch, does our trophy look on the mantel. In Sadie Hawkins Day festivities we placed second in total num ber of points acquired. The big date of the Christmas season was our Candlelight Formal -a dinner-dance at Robinson's Lakeside Inn. Just mention that dance to any Delta Sig and watch her eyes get misry-remembering. A worthwhile Christmas project was entertaining the children of Prichard Home in Milton with our brothers, Alpha Sigma Phi. We also gave aid to the lepers of the Carville Institution. Two honored guests of the year were Mrs. Robert Hill, past grand president, and Mrs. Jonathan Beidler, National Pan-Hellenic Coun cil member. The "Craziest dance of the year" was our April Fool party, and V IRGINIA BECKLER MARY LOU COLEBANK our Spring Formal another dinner-dance, we know we'll never forget. We're mighty proud of Annette Garmong, who was chosen Queen of Hodges Hall, and of our basketball team, which came in second in intramurals. Besides our "Calendar Socials," we had fun at informal parties with our Alpha Sig brothers, attended several Churches with them throughout the year; made money with our rummage sales, and benefit bridges and bazaars; in short-had a practically perfect year.
