The Mission style bell tower of the main entrance of San Diego State college is typical of the Spanish-Moorish architecture on the 225 acre campus at San Diego, Calif. Founded in 1897, the college now has an enrollment of 3,124 men and 1,481 women. Degrees awarded are AB, BS, BE, and MA. The college has Divisions of Education, Fine Arts, Health and Physical Education, Languages and Literature, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences. Beta Psi chapter of Sigma Kappa was installed on this campus in February, '50. The chapter really began forty-seven years ago when the Triton Rowing club was formed in 1903. Later the college assumed the athletic activity responsibilities and in 1924 the Triton Rowing club became a Greek letter social sorority known as Tau Zeta Rho. In 1949 the college's local sororities received permission to petition national organizations for membership and Aug. 19, '49 Tau Zeta Rho became a pledge chapter of Sigma Kappa. Other NPC sororities at San Diego are Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega and Alpha Chi Omega. National fraternities include Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi Sigma Kappa, Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Pi Beta Tau; Sigma Phi Epsiion, Theta Chi.

By ALBERTA LEEPER McNEAL, Theta ERTAINLY the record of Helen Ives Corbett who retired from our Na C tion cduncil at Swampscott, stirs all Sigmas to the realization that our sorority is fortunate to have such an outstanding mem ber. Her twenty-nine years of "unselfish devotion" to the ideals of Sigma Kappa will inspire some of us to greater achievement and will make some of us feel quite humble in retrospect. While Helen is no longer on Council, we know that she will continue to serve us. She was initiated into Sigma Kappa in 1921 as a charter member of Alpha Zeta chapter. Later she was elected president of that chapter. Following her graduation from Cornell university she served on Alpha Zeta's Advisory Board until her marriage to Lau rence Ward Corbett in 1926, when she moved to Philadelphia. Having helped to establish the Philadelphia Alumna: chapter, she served as president of the group when it received the award for the outstanding alumna: chap ter for that year. After coming to Minne apolis she worked tirelessly with Alpha Eta chapter as a member of the Advisory Board, Helen lves Corbett President of the Twin Cities Alumna: chap ter, President of the Sigma Kappa Mothers' objective has been exceeded with the instal club, and Twin Cities' Panhellenic alumna: lation of our fifty-seventh chapter. representative for Sigma Kappa.

Edna, known to her host of friends as "Eddie," owes her prominence in Sigma Kappa and other organizations to one pre dominant characteristic-she has that envi able ability of "getting things done." Re gardless of the apparent difficulties of any project assigned to her, she invariably comes up with the proper method and she should take pride in the knowledge that she always equals or surpasses her goal. Edna attended the University of Illinois, later teaching for seven years in Champaign, Ill., and at the Irvington School in Indi anapolis, Ind. Her record of progress for Sigma Kappa started at Theta chapter where she became a member. Her first work was treasurer of the Corporation Board, editor of the Theta Newsletter, State Alumn<:e Chairman for Indiana, president of the H am mond Alumn<:e chapter, assistant to the Direc tor of Alumn<:e Relations, later Director of Alumn<:e Relations, Editor of the Trianglette and Chairman of the Endowment Fund.
