This We Share • • •

s each day ends, do you think about what happened in your life? A Do you take time to reflect about progress made on a project, the impact you have had on others as a caring friend? Do you consider if this is what you thought today would be like? Do you ask yourself the question, "What have I dis­ covered today about my world, my family, my friends, my colleagues, and especially, what have I discovered about myself?" Yes, every day is a day of discovery. We should take time to be aware of what is happening in our lives and to those around us. I hope this issue of The Key, devoted to discovery, will help you to focus on the discoveries in your life. As the end of my second term as Fra­ ternity President draws near, it seems an appropriate time for reflecting on some discoveries I made during the past four years.

Once upon a time everyone knew certain facts: The sun revolved around the earth. The earth was flat. Man could not 80vern himself Women's minds could not stand the strain of hi8her education. Men - or women - could not fly. Women were the weaker sex; their only place was in the home. There was no intelli8ent life anywhere except on our own earth.

t was 1986. Life was moving right along. With a house full of teenagers, I things were never dull! I had complet­ ed my master's degree in nursing and was about to begin a new job for which I had been carefully planning and preparing. I was moving in a new direction with my nursing career. Then my life was put on "hold"; my family marked time. I found a lump in my breast and had a biopsy - the diagnosis was breast cancer. I was extremely surprised because all my mammograms had been normal. Needless to say, having breast cancer and putting my plans on "hold" were not very conve­ nient. Since that time I have had four surgeries, and now I have to worry about having silicone implants removed. Having this disease was really a scary experience, but it also opened many doors for me ... doors to areas that I had never even thought about before. I found out how valuable the support of my family and friends are to me. Many of my Kappa sisters were there for me. Besides my hus­ band, Brooks, the most beneficial caring support came from Louise Currence Christensen and Jane 0 . Smith McEl­ downey, both West Virginia Kappas and old friends from WVU.

Recalling the sympathy that was creat­ ed by her plight - a young woman with small children - Bee remembers a news­ paper article written about the family Patty Gesell and Julie Love share a birthday and cake during a meeting at Fraternity Headquarters.

As The Key goes to press, a new attack on breast cancer has been launched by the National Cancer Institute. It is the first major medical effort made in the United States to prevent this deadly disease. The drug Tamoxifen will be administered over a five-year period to 16,000 healthy American women con­ sidered high-risk because of age and a family history of breast cancer.

Edith Petersilia Mayo, George Wash­ ington, never dreamed she would be deal­ ing with the first ladies' gowns. With a B.A. in history and an M.A. in American studies, she has been a Smithsonian staff member for 20 years in the division of po­ litical history. Edith organized her first ex­ hibit in 1972, a history of voting rights in the United States, and most of her work has focused on the civil rights movement, social reform, and the progress and rights of women in America. In 1976 Edith mounted an exhibition for the United States Bicentennial enti­ tled, "We, the People," and most recently she completed "From Parlor to Politics: Women and Reform in America, 1890- 1900," an exploration of the role of women in legislative and political reform at the turn of the century. Despite her work collecting campaign paraphernalia and studying political movements, Edith felt that the gowns were outside her field of political history. The gowns, after all, had originally been collected in the 1920s and '30s for a cos­ tume hall. After rethinking the project, Lou Henry Hoover, BH, broadcasting from the White House to Girl Scouts and other youth groups Edith saw it as an opportunity to reinter- focusing on leading healthy, productive, and independent lives.

The College Panhellenics Committee, with the endorsement of the twenty-six National Presi­ WHEREAS, dents and NPC Delegates, believes that the purpose of sorority rush is for rushees and mem­ b ers to get to know one another, and because we believe that sorority rush should reflect the mission of the host institution as well as the purpose and ideals on which all NPC organiza­ tions are based; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That all College Panhellenics and their member chapters shall incorporate the following into their rush programs as soon as possible: 1. Establish guidelines for rush budgets and set a cap on rush expenses including the value of all donated goods and services in the cap figure. 2. Eliminate all outside decorations. 3. Confine all rush entertairunent within the chapter house or other rush facility. 4. Evaluate all rush skits as to length and content. 5. Discourage the use of rush skits at the first round of parties. 6. Discourage elaborate costuming and purchase of special rush outfits. 7. Eliminate all gifts, favors, preference letters or notes for rushees until they have accept­ ed bids. 8. Develop conversation and interviewing skills. 9. Follow NPC recommendations for release figures.

42 The Key, Summer 1992 Putting It All Together ... Barbara Huff Peirce

.. 'Tis a puzzlement" was a phrase fre­ quently spoken by the King of Siam to Anna, a British governess who taught him about the world in Rodgers and Hammer- tein's musical The King and I. Royal car­ tographers had an inflated perspective of this country, and Siam was not nearly as vast as locals thought. Barbara Huff Peirce, Kansas State, founder, designer, and saleswoman of Peirce Puzzle Compa­ ny, could have been a valuable member of the king's court in resolving the regal "puzzlement." Searching for innovative ways to teach Kansas history, Barbara and an associate, Sheila Austin, brainstormed several meth­ ods and decided that a jigsaw puzzle would be a novel and functional approach. Their pride in Kansas intensified when the state's 125th birthday drew near, so it was fitting that a commemorative puzzle was the first they created. With promotional help from a local grocery store chain, they sold more than 10,000 copies of the Kansas state puzzle within five weeks. Since then the women have formed sepa­ rate companies and between them have produced puzzles for aliSO states. The Peirce Puzzle Company is a family affair.

An important part of maintaining the Fraternity's heritage lies in the preserva­ tion and organization of its historical doc­ uments. Since May 1990, Diane Mall­ strom, Fraternity Archivist, has been doing just that: the systematic and chrono­ logical sorting, identifying, documenting, labeling, organizing, and arranging of Kappa collectibles. As one of the earliest women's frater­ nities, Kappa has a rich history; one of its documented sources is The Key, published continually since 1882 and bound in vol­ umes.
