.1./rticle about Alice Moore, Chi, reprinted from the Columbus "Dispatch" Miss Moore believes that naming ani­ mals "Junior" will subsequently put a stop to children being called by that name. "Junior," said Miss Moore, in refer­ ring to her pet, "is the sorority dog as long as he doesn't steal steaks and col­ lect butter from the surrounding houses. When he does these things he's my dog." "But on Saturdays," Miss Moore con­ tinued, "all the pledges in the house fight to give him his weekly bath. And dur­ ing the week he sleeps on anybody's bed but mine." "Junior," it seems, doesn't like men un­ less they take the trouble to pet him when they call at the Sigma Kappa house for a date.

Florence C. Battram Writes About Mrs. Pierce

Oakland, Calif. February 15, 1930 My DEAR FRANCES : I am in receipt of your letter asking for an article about Mrs. Pierce. I am much too close to the present tragedy to write formally and a letter must suffice. Not all of life's deepest experi ences are happy ones. Most Sigmas know Mrs. Pierce as a jolly good fellow who can be depended upon to join, aid and abet all schemes for a good time at convention, possessing a rich store of good judgment and high ideals for use whenever weightier matters are before the house. To me has come the sad privilege of watching this stalwart character arise to meet one of life's supreme ordeals. She has met the situation with · unfaltering

fda F11ller Pi.e1·ce

courage; in fact, the wonder£ ul pos itiveness of her character refused even to admit the sen­ ousness of the situation for many months. When at last the issue has become too evident to be avoided she faces it with uncomplaining patience that is heroic. Even though the weeks in bed have lengtpened into many months and she is now too weak to turn over without the assistance of her nurse, in proud dignity she 1·ef rains from imposing her troubles on others and only those who know realize that she is suffering. It is a temptation to voice the impious ques­ ti on of why a woman whose life has been so full of constructive activity should have to suffer this long period of incapacity. But, sometime, if some Sigma, facing one of life's ·inevitable tragedies finds courage in her mem­ ory of M rs. Pierce, perhaps the answer may be found. Fraternally yours, Frances Ma1111 Hall FLORENCE COLBY BATTRAM

~lpha Tau (iirl ~dopted by Indians

TTLE did Gladys Morse realize when she accepted a position with JC the Michigan tuberculosis associa­ tion that she would be adopted into an Indian tribe. She went to the associa­ tion to do health work among the boys and girls in public schools. For this work many Indian legends are given, and to give added emphasis to them she appears as Princess vVatassa (bearer of happi­ ness) in an authenic Indian costume. Her work carries her all over Michigan, and on one of these trips Chief John B. Silas ot Bay City, who is chief of the Chip­ pewa tribe, heard her stories. Upon learning that she was not a member of a tribe he immediately took the steps for her adoption, and in ovember she was formally adopted as Princess Kee-She­ Goo-Qua (Princess of the Sky), and was given the eagle feather symbolizing her honorary membership in the Chippewa tribe of Indians. Since January 1, 1929, Princess Wat­ assa has spoken to more than 800,000 school children. This work is carried on by the proceeds from the Tuberculosis Seals. Gladys was prominent in activities while in school. She was graduated with honors, was president of Omicron Nu, treasurer of Y.W.C.A., and took part in Portrait by Roscoe Lewis, Inc. many other activities. Consider Convention J.Sgislation

This depart­ ment includes the planning of menus, actual practice and lessons in coo·kery and table service, lectttres, studies of food cost accounting, all under Ev_a's · direct supervision.

Today more people are "eating out" than any other time in history; the eating habits of the American public are changing. Greater opportunities are open to women than ever before in the "food game."

What to Pacl? for Convention (This editorial, t-imely be~ause of the approaching convent·ion, is reprinted b:y reqttest from the March, 1928, "Trimtgle.") "What shall I take to convention?" That this question will be asked many times in the coming months is a logical as­ sumption. Logical likewise, is the presumption that most of these queries will relate to the number of hats and dresses, weight of coats, species of sports apparel advisa­ able for a sorority convention in Washington, D.C., in warm weather. Lest your packing ardor come to an end in a maze of perfumes and powders, com­ pacts and cameras, scissors and slippers, we nominate for your essential equipment for Washington convention: · One determination to do your share in furthering Sigma Kappa's progress in all lines. One alert interest in items of business submitted for this convention's consid­ eration, and one comprehensive knowledge of your. chapter's stand on all the mat- ­ ters. One complete understanding of business items submitted by your chapter. It is difficult to be nonchalant when your chapter is announced from the platform as the donor and you as defender of an item you never heard of. One usable knowledge of parliamentary law. It will help in saving time and trou­ ble. One acquaintance with business discussed at previous conventions, that you will not be one to waste time by plodding over old battle grounds. One intimacy with the chapter roll, lest "Lambda feels" and "Psi believes" dis­ turb you unduly. One familiarity with names and accomplishments of national officers. One inquisitive nature, to annex suggestions from other chapters successful in meeting certain of your problems. · One retentive memory to hold correctly all discussions and decisions of convention for your chapter. If you cannot annex this, substitute an extra pencil and a larger notebook. One urge for friendships with girls from other chapters. One rested self, so that you may enter fully into the "extra-curricular" as well as regular convention activities without loss of time in catching up in sleep. One desire to derive all the fun possible from the convention and the boat party.

Pigs or People "And then," said Lewis Carroll of his famous Alice, "she began thinking over various people she knew who would have better-been pigs." Terrible indictment of human nature! Lewis Carroll was referring not only to external appearances in this gentle dig. · It was aimed at the mass of people who have more or less piggish dis­ positions. 144 Sigma Kappa Triangle

Sad as it is to have to admit it, sometimes there are found exactly such individuals in sorority houses. They seem determined to occupy the best of everything--or shall we say the muddiest? They gratify such determination by over-riding the de­ sires and privileges of everyone else. Particularly are they hard on the pledges. It is hard to understand the purpose of such girls. The momentary pleasure is hardly worth the ensuing unpopularity. The pitiful part of it is, paradoxically, that the pig is the one who suffers-not at the moment, but all through a hateful and hated life. Stop and think. Are you in this class? Are you one of whom it could be said, "She is a dreadful girl, but she would make rather a handsome pig, I think!" And who likes a pig? VICTORIA GLATFELTER, Alpha Kappa

Scholarship Cup Chooses California The Sigma Kappa national scholarship cup chooses to remain in California for an­ other year! Pi chapter at Leland Stanford has had the pleasure of entertaining the cup for two previous years-1925-26 and last year-1927-28, and apparently proved so cordial a hostess that the cup was loath to depart from Pi and its sunny climes. At least the cup has selected Pi for its next hostess-on the basis of 1928-29 scho­ lastic records as well as climatic advantages. However-lest New England and other northern chapters be inclined to think that the cup is overly "climate-conscious," we remind them that the cup has somewhat of a vagabond's yearning for travel. It fittingly started its jaunting about by going to Alpha chapter in far away Maine for 1922-23; it next took a short hop to Nu chapter at Middlebury, Vt., and then-having gained experience as a traveler, it dashed away west to Alpha Nu at Missoula, Mont. Finding the west agreeable, it went down to Pi at Palo Alto, Calif., for 1925-26. Alpha Pi, at Ohio Wesleyan, feeling that as Pi's daughter chapter it should have the cup next-just as Alpha Nu had followed Nu, claimed the cup for 1926-27. Pi intrigued the cup back for 1927-28 and has now prevailed upon it to remain as re­ ward for 1928-29. Pi has the record as being the only chapter to win the cup for more than one year-and Pi has had it for three years! The Pi-Alpha Pi family has had the cup for four years now-which other chap­ ter family will break the monopoly?

Coming Attractions Among the interesting features scheduled for the June TRIANGLE are: 1. An article by a Sigma Kappa aviatrix, one of the first 25 woman pilots to be licensed in the United States, Wilma Walsh, Nu, '24; 2. An account of the success of a Sigma Kappa radio artist, considered "one of the foremost sopranos on the air," Ruth Lyon Remick, Eta, '25, who sings over WMAQ, WOR, and WLW at 8 :30 P.M. every Tuesday. 3. Pictures and descriptions of the handsome new homes of Omega, Mu, and Alpha Omicron chapters; 4. And an account of the National Panhellenic Congress at Denver, which was attended by Lorah S. Monroe, Panhellenic delegate, Frances Warren Baker, TRI­ ANGLE Editor, Marie Wright Seebass, regional director, and Florence Colby Battram, past grand secretary. ~aine cJea (oast cJoundings
