Yon H a ~ e A It th e Time T here Is- At thi eason of the year, a indeed at all bu y sea on of all bu. y y ars, we are con. umed with the de ire to da h up to the stolid calendar, gra p it firm ly b the corn rs, and pull it vigorou ly until ' e have stretched the conventional ven-day week into a week of ten or eleven days much b tter adapted to our demand for time. nfortunately however, no in ento r has applied himself to the pr blem of tretching the number of hours in a day or the number of days in a week.

Dovetail the rem~ining do's into the most compact geometric pattern rosstble, pr.un­ ing off bits of some of the do's to improve the pattern.

Plrace things demanding concentration early in the day when they can be accomplished in less time than when you have be- come fatigued. . . The listing of obligations and desires is a help, for it shows ways of combmmg certain things connected either by time, location, or person. The few minutes spent in systematically planning a week will be saved many times over. True, some people suffer listamrania, and others contend that they have reduced their lives to a too­ factory-like precision and uninteresting effici.ency, but we maintain that they are the ones who seem to accomplish the most with the least effort and in the least time. Don't spend time idly and vainly wishing that you could stretch out the calendar. Organize your time and then utilize it to the fullest capacity. After all-you have all the time there is.

Qualifications fo1' Sorority Officers That many factors should be considered in choosing national officers for a sorority was gnaphically brought out in the answers to a question concerning qualifications whicH was included in the 1928-29 sorority examination. This decidedly inclusive list forms an exacting questionnaire which each Sigma Kappa might use to check herself by standards set up by college members for an ideal sorority member as well as S~'r.ori.ty national officer. Factors enumerated by college members have been classified by the examination committee in this way:

I. Personal A. Personality with the following characteristics: Sincerity of purpose, Loyalty, Fairness, Intelligence, Tact, Ambitinn. Possessing high ideals, Patient, Sympathetic, Democratic, Will to work, Enthusiasm, Youthful spirit, Dignity (but not enough to interfere with enthusi.asm ), Common sense, Initiative, Perserverance, Whole hea rted desire to serve others. B. Force and strength of charac•er. C. Appearance: Attractiveness, Neatness, D"gni.ty, Age (Younget· rather than older, with per- haps a mixture among officers.) D. Physical strength. E. \Vide interest in life and people. F . High scholarship while in college. II. Social: Ability to mix well, Sportsmanship, Moral uprightness, Graciousness, Diplomacy, Poise. III. E.1·ecutive Integrity, Efficiency, Abili1y to organize, Sound judgment, Far sightedness, Precision of thought, Pro fessional or technical knowled g-e called for in her position, Ability to give con­ structive criticism to active and alumn;e chapters. IV. Sigma Kappa A. Experience and in:erest in Coll ege chapter, Alumn;e chapter, National committee, and lesser office. B. Knowledge of Sigma Kappa history, procedure, and affairs. C. Attendance at at least one convention. D. Consecrated love for her sorority. V. Location and occupation A. Geographical location so that all are not in one section. B. So occupied as to have sufficient time to carry on duties of office . ~aine Sea (oast Soundings

Although there will be no September TRIANGLE due to the issuance of the dir ~c­ tory, there will be duties for the TRIANGLE chapter editors-the filling in of the us­ ual duplicate membership blanks, which should be in the hands of the College Editor Augu t r. Failure to make a list of initiation dates and numbers before leaving college will not constitute a valid excuse. Nearly the entire personnel of chapter editors will be changed with the next issue, and the TRIANGLE will lose some of the most careful and alert reporters, some by graduation, others by promotions to ather sorority offices, but the TRIANGLE hopes that they will never stop thinking of the magazine, when they hear any Sigma Kappa n ws.
