IGMA KAPPA has been widely and signally honored on many college campuses this fall, but among the many symbols of superiority which we find, perhaps the S individual chapters to whom we must give the most credit, admiration, and re­ spect, are those where Sigma Kappa chapters have ranked first in scholarship. Phi, for the fifth consecutive year, is the highest group on the campus of Rhode Island State college. Alpha Tau is again the leader at Michigan State college. Pi, at Leland Stanford, is the first of forty-two .groups, and is surpassed by no group on the cam­ pus except honorary organizations.

A Summer on the Coast of Maine

HELEN WESTON LYNDON, Boston University School of R eligious Education and Social Service, '29 A summer on the coast of Maine is one of superlative value. Not until one ha ~ been situated there for any length of time does one realize the truth in the saying that Maine is the ideal state for a summer vacation. It was my privilege last summer to be associated with the Maine Sea Coast Missionary society. We ·who live in the city do not know always of the conditions existing in other parts of our country. It is natural that one's experiences are many when thrown onto islands after living in Boston. The experience of living among fisher-folk; of hearing not"ing but fish­ ing adventures; and of living mainly on fish is enough to give anyone good material for Last day at Sea/and Daily Vacation Bible writing a book.

What Are Your Answers? These subjects have been issued by the committee appointed at the recent midwest regional conference of College Fraternity Editors' association as subjects upon which the college stud·ents of today should meditate and form definite conclusions. How would you answer these questions? Should fraternity and sorority chapters actively discourage various forms of intellectual dis­ honesty prevalent on college campuses, such as, cheating in examinations, handing in term papers or daily assignments that are not legitimately ·prepared by the students who hand them in, and getting more able "brothers" or sisters" to write final examinations in large classes where such deception is possible. Should chapters maintain files of term papers, themes, notebooks, reports, etc., that have won high grades so that such material may serve as "inspiration" for brothers or sisters who are weak scholastically, ot too busy with campus affairs to meet their classroom obligations completely? All will agree that the ideal is a campus on which it is "simply not the thing" to countenance any form of intellectual dishonesty. Could fraternities and sororities by concerted action help in the achievement of that ideal and thereby do a great service to the educational institutions of which they are a part? Should fraternity houses be permitted to be the center of gambling? Alumni and friends of members as well as actives sometimes furnish money to be wagered on athletic contests. Often there is a considerable sum placed upon a contest by chapters representing the oppos­ ing colleges, and bitterness not infrequently results. Poker games in which alumni and ac­ tives participate, and sometimes outsiders, are often played in chapter houses. Occasionally one hears of chapters accused of fleecing guests because guests in the house lost money in poker games. Should fraternities and sororities attempt to discipline chapters in whose houses liquor laws are violated, even in cases where there has been no publi.city? Should alumni be held strictly · responsible for their part in the violation of liqour Ia ws? Should a campaign be waged against paddling, disgusting, sometimes obscene practices, and humiliating experiences, as a part of freshman training and the pre-initiatory program? Should all forms of public initiation and public pre-initiatory activities be thoroughly dis­ couraged as beneath the dignity of college Greek-letter organizations? Say It With Thought W aves Each year many, many college Sigma Kappas send many, many Christmas cards to many, many other girls in their same chapters. Often these college girls say "Merry Christmas" in person to these chapter sisters at schoQl one day, and next day rush about in their home towns to mail out cards. We maintain that the average col­ lege girl's memory would retain the oral Merry Christmas. There are many, many little things that could be purchased for chapter houses and many, many philanthropic uses for the many, many nickels, dimes, quarters, and stamps that go into sending many, many holiday cards from many, many girls to many, many other girls in the same chapters. Why not try giving the money usually spent on these many, many cards to a holiday hou e fund and see how many, many little things for the house could be purchased?

Fraternity and Sorority Editors Meet From sixteen different cities, located in eight different states, came twenty-nine men and women representing nine sorority and fourteen fraternity magazines, to attend the first annual mid-west regional conference of fraternity and sorority pub­ lications held at the Palmer House, Chicago, June 16. For some six hours, dur­ ing the dinner and after it, these editors enjoyed the fellowship of such a gather­ ing; gathered ideas for improving their own pubfications, exchanged ideas, and gave of their experiences to fellow editors. These resolutions were passed: Resolved: That it is the sentiment of this meeting that it would be highly desirable to have a joint conference of the Interfraternity Conference within the next two years. Resolved further, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the executive committees of both organizations. Resolved: That it is the sense of this meeting that a joint conference of editors be held annually in the Middle West, and that a committee made up of representatives of sor-orities and fraternities be appointed to arrange a program for next year. Resolved: That a committee be appointed to prepare and circulate before September I sug­ gestions to editorial staffs for the development of a general editorial policy throughout the .

Life Loyal Side Lights The chapters in District I lead all other districts with a total of forty-one Life Loyal Sigmas. District II is second with twenty-five Life Loyals. Alpha Nu is the nearest to meet­ ing its quota of Life Loyal membership with 6r.s per cent raised. Their closest competitor for first honors is Alpha Tau which boasts so per cent of their quota. Alpha chapter has joined the honor group with ten Life Loyal members.

Omega chapter is determined to put Florida on the Endowment map. A definite program for raising their quota of Life Loyal memberships has been started. This includes co-opera­ tion with the Miami alumnre chapter, form letters to all alumnre, and many personal solici­ tations. Watch their Life Loyal list grow.

Most Life Memberships in both fraternities and soronttes are $so, and include life sub­ scription to their national magazine, and exemption from national dues for life. Sigma Kappa has one of the most liberal installment payment plans. Make your own terms with your nearest alumnre chapter, whether you are a member or not.

Sigma Kappa Life Loyals are rapidly approaching 200. Just watch this list grow and grow and grow. One thousand Life Loyal Sigmas is the goal. Cited for Interest Lors WrNE CuRTIS, Editor

HEN one is following in a trail made by someone who knows the way per­ fectly, when one is attempting to take as big steps as the one before, who W knows better how to step, when one, in other words is attempting to follow in the footsteps of a skilled predecessor, often the one who follows stumbles and falters. THE TRIANGLE has been fortunate in having had for so long the services of Marian Se Cheverell, Psi, as college editor, for she has given to the department her own intensive supervision and impressed it with her striking personality. The new TRIANGLE college editor can only hope to keep to the trail of earnest zeal for Sigma Kappa work which her predecessor has mapped. As Marian said when she left her office, it is a pleasant contact with college groups, and fraternity women; so I, too, have found it. The loyal co-operation of individual coll ege chapter editors, the pleasure of being among the first to hear of a chapter's good fortune in rushing, perhaps, and the feeling of nearness to a power­ ful national organization of Sigma Kappa, make the position of college editor of THE TRIANGLE, an enviable one indeed.
