Below is a registration blank which you may use if you are coming to convention. It is very im­ portant that it reach me April 1, if possible. We must let the hotel know 90 days in advance. Your name and standing much be checked by Central Office so that a card can be issued which will admit you to sessions and meals. If you plan to stay with friends or relatives in the Bay area and eat your meals at the hotel, send the blank anyway. You will still need the convention card. Two weeks before convention is time enough to notify us of the meals you wish to attend. If your husband is coming and plans to live at the hotel with you, rates will be slightly higher than those quoted elsewhere in this TRIANGLE. Those rates are for 3 and 4 in a room. We shall try to make arrangements for nursery accommodations if you wish to bring your children. Please indicate that on the bottom of the registration blank. See you in July at the Fairmont.

Four other Sigma Kappa chapters joined the high honor rank of 100. Congratulations to Delta, first among twelve, Xi among ten, Alpha Theta among six and Alpha Chi among three. Alpha Theta and Alpha Chi have maintained their rating of 100 for the second consecutive year. A careful perusal of the statistical report should be made as the Centile ranking shows a comparative rating only of Sigma Kappa chapters. Some chapters showing a low Centile rank are within a few hundredths of a point of the average for all social sororities on a particular campus. Seventeen of the thirty-five chapters reporting are above the average of all social sororities on their re­ spective campuses and have been designated by asterisks. Seven chapters failed to report even after a second notice. ·

The first question always asked me when Although many of the churches have been I announced my intention of visiting Mexico closed we found services going on in many was invariably-"But isn't it awfully hot which we entered. We visited the cathedral there?" Let me dispel that rumor immediately. Except for a narrow strip along the coast, Mexico enjoys an ideal climate. From the "tierra caliente" or hot countries bordering the ocean, the mountains rise to a high cen­ tral plateau with an elevation of almost 8000 feet. Summer clothes are never worn in Mexi­ co City, but instead wool suits or dresses such as we wear in spring and fall. We sailed from New York to Vera Cruz, and found Vera Cruz not nearly as hot as Washington on one of our scorching August days. In Vera Cruz we got our first introduc­ tion to the low, gaily coloured plaster houses of the Indians and the "Zopilotes" (big black buzzards) resting sinisterly on the roofs.

An excellent automobile road leads there, and there is marvelous scenery all along the way. Taxco reminded us somewhat of an Italian hill town with its little houses clustered around the huge cathe­ dral, which is elaborately carved and deco­ rated. No two houses in town are on the same level. They are vari-colored with lovely gar­ dens. If you want to shop this is the place to buy silver jewelry and attractive tin work. Don't expect the small towns to be quiet, though. I went to bed with the sound of sky rockets bursting every few minutes-the na­ tives love fireworks and have them on the slightest pretext, such as a birthday.

PAGE THE PLEDGES

We are grateful to the Themis of Zeta Tau Alpha for this timely little editorial by their editor, Shirley Krieg. She in turn has clipped from the Teke Guide of Tau Kappa Epsilon, and we are in turn grateful to the Teke Guide. Page the pledges! When a recent press dispatch carried the headline that a British princess was to obey the school custom of "fagging," we read the story with interest because we had some idea what fagging was about. After we read it we concluded that it should not be withheld from the pledges. Coming via the Chicago Tribune Press Service it is as follows: "Princess Elizabeth, second in succession to the British throne, who will enter St. Leonard school [this fall} will submit to the system of 'fagging' the same as other commoner pupils, it has been decided by her mother, the duchess of York. Fagging means acting as servant to older girls in upper classes. It consists of carrying messages to older girls, preparing tea for them, and shining their shoes." Thus will a British princess serve her apprenticeship­ even as you and I, we of the past pledges and you of the present. The duties may be different, but the principle is the same. Again paging the pledges! The new Teke Guide lists specifically what Tau Kappa Epsilon expects of its pledges, and, via their magazine, we give your their fourteen points: "1. Ability to keep your person neat and clean. 2. Ability to give respect to those of different race, creed, position, etc. 3. Ability to show proper respect for the person, property and opinions of others. 4. Ability to respect the political, social, religious and economic beliefs of others. 5. Ability to dress tastefully in a manner becoming to your age, position and as benefits the occasion. 6. Ability to obey the social, moral, and ethical standards of the group with which you are concerned. 7. Ability to respond to persons addressing you with dignity, poise, gentility and proper salutations. 8. Ability to speak with proper respect to your associates, friends, parents, relatives, superiors, and elders. 9. Ability to mingle harmoniously, spreading happiness, radiating cheerfulness, avoiding injury to others' feelings. 10. Ability to treat with respect and consideration the maimed, the blind, the deformed, the sick, the aged, and the unfortunate. 11. Ability to participate in conversation with proper reserve and voice modulation, and to speak in assembly with sufficient power to be heard. 12. Knowledge of the laws of good health and good manners, with the willingness and intent to conform to those laws without embarrassment on every occasion. 13. Knowledge of and willingness to abide by the local, state and national requirements relating to personal behavior regardless of any and all consequences. 14. Habits of punctuality, prompt­ ness, considateness, accuracy, and persistence with a willingness to initiate reforms constructive when necessary.
