The Story of Dave (.ZD )6o) and Judy Patterson

Recent months have seen a great deal of publicity about the epidemic of drug abuse sweeping our nation and infecting our servicemen all over the world. This current publicity, however, is just evidence of the tip of the iceberg that has been bobbing above the surface for the past decade. At first drug abuse was, according to the popular notion, a ghetto malady that was tucked neatly away with the entire minority group/slums/poverty sit uation that we tried not to think about. Then came the riots campus violence fire bombings and suddenly the ghetto/racial problem was front page news. ~Iiddle class suburbia was subjected to the TV evening news with dinner­ watching people being shot, looting, arrests, demonstra­ tions and the war in Vietnam. The nation painfully became aware of many of the problems of our society without really wanting to face up to them. Drug abuse, however, slowly crept into the backyards of suburbia. A few headlines and TV specials called attention to isolated instances, but for the most part it flourished and spread virtually unnoticed by parents, educators, doctors and society in general. So it was in Appleton, Wisconsin ... a pleasant city of 57,000. Appleton's most outstanding characteri~:tic, perhaps, is its comfortable, middle-class solidarity. There are few extremes in Appleton. Conservative 2nd responsible are key words in discussing all the Fox River Valley communities which extend north and south of The Pattersons (/If shuu·n wllh .·lrt Llllklflla '"' ]1111. c.!IJ - .!1/ Appleton.

14 THE CHI PHI CHAKETT . Housemother-a ~ Passing Tradition

By RoBERTA BERNER* Mrs. George W . Langdon is mother to one d a u~hter and hundreds of sons. She is a housemother in an era when housemothering is becoming " passe," and she loves her Chi Phi fraternity job which she has held for 12 years. Mrs. Langdon said most fraternities won 't have housemothers next year, a lthough "some will have student couples living in the house and others will have women living in town . , . as housemothers." But, she concludes, the age of the live-in housemothe.r is over. She sees the tradition's passing with a little sadness, remembering the house­ mothers' bridge group, the time when she served as president of the house­ mothers and the socia l and business meetings that have brought the women together once or twice a month. "There are not many housemothers THETA DELTA here that were here when I came. Now, DEDICATED there are just two of us still here."
