CHAMPAIGN URBANA

Growth is the most necessary and inevitable of all the life processes.

Indeed, it is the very evidence of life. Man must have a sense of motion and

development, for it is in progressive activity that he finds meaningfulness. Mutation

is largely an internal and personal procedure, but it is immediately reflected in the changes

projected upon the external world. Every physical object exists first in man's mind: the

building is a dream before it is blueprints, and blueprints before it is brick, steel, and glass.

The erection of a new building may mean the destruction of an old one.

Earth which has lain undisturbed for years is suddenly torn up, and the passer-by

shakes his head at the sight of the huge raw cavity that is left behind. Foundations

are laid; they are flat, prosaic, and undeniably functional. Upon them a superstructure is

erected which stands against the sky like a gangling and clumsy adolescent. The passer-by

stops now and smiles in admiration as the building grows. The walls go up, the roof goes

on, and the windows are set. Plaster and paint shape the inside, while shrubbery and grass

complete the appearance of the grounds. The building is ready for use. An idea has become

tangible. It will remain valuable only until a new idea is born somewhere in a man's mind.

The University of Illinois has initiated an unprecedented program of

intensive expansion in recent years. Today, plans which were dreams when the

class of 1962 came to Champaign-Urbana are realities, and every day dreams are being

put down on paper. The University has constructed, cast aside, and modified many dreams

in those four years just as its students have reshaped their old values

and created new ideas in quest of a meaningful progress.

The 1962 lllio has attempted to capture the nature of this dual activity

as it is reflected in the physical growth of the University and the inner growth of the

individual. It is to thoso many individuals that this book is given.

It is given in trust a trust that they will never stop growing.

Rain! The only certainty of Fall. But that never stops us. We merely bundle up in our old trench coats and continue life as usual.

Fall-Out Umbrellas and Faithful Trench Coats

Fall comes to Champaign-Urbana. And with it comes the unavoidable, the inevitable, the habitual rain. The quad is an assemblage of bright, cheerfully colored umbrellas, under which peep frowning faces and som- ber trenchcoat ml bodies. Mud is every- where up to the knees of the un- fortunate one who tried to take a short cut on what he thought was i\y\ ground, soaked through the holes in the gym shoes of the one who could not bear the thought of breaking in a new pair, and all over the coats of the many who stood too near the curb waiting for the light to change. But never fear. The days will pass until soon we will no longer have to worry about our notes blurring in the rain or our hair hanging when we have an important date. We will put our umbrellas away, say our fond adieus to the monsoon season, and optimistically look forward to winter. That is, until the snow starts!

"We don't mind fall at all." these ducks tell the students approaching them. "Why the more water the merrier." But have they tried walking through Huff Field Mud?

It looks as if these girls are faced with the universal problem of all coeds. Where will they ever find space for all their new clothes?

Hectic is the only word for registration week. Twenty-four thousand of us descend upon campus for the start of school. First we must un- load the cars which miraculously made it through the Wright and Green Street jam. All junk is thrown in the middle of our rooms as we rush to wait in line an hour for our registration cards. Advisers come first . . . "But, sir, are you certain I must take 20 hours this semester?" Then come the lines ... "I don't care how long you waited, Zoo 100 is closed. You might try Biology. They aren't as crowded there." Then the book stores . . . "Sorry, we're all out of your French books, Zoo books, Rhet books, and Lit books. Come around next week." And of course the inevitable, "I certainly hope you will like my class this semester. We will have only five hourlies, and you will be expected to do four papers. That, of course, is for a C. Now if you're planning to work for an A . . ." Please tell me, do you suppose it's worth it?

How easy it would be if we could take our advisers along to lead the way. Could it be that this boy did just that?

Tennis? It's filled. Golf? Sorry. How about bowling? It doesn't fit in your schedule, but you can take swimming at 8 in the morning.

Then Comes Cards Upon Cards and Line After Line

We struggle through line after line, hour after hour until finally relief is in sight ... ID pictures mean the end of another semester of registration. But it's not the end of bad memories. Each time we cash a check or take a book from the library our pictures haunt us.

Devising methods of transportation to and from classes has baffled many students. Since the University of Illinois campus is spread out over a wide area, and since classes have to be made in ten minutes, some mode of fast transportation confronts many. Walking across the quadrangle appears to be the most popular sport. However, this may entail long cross country hikes, and late arrivals to class. Many find the bicycle relieves wear and tear on the shoe leather. Since an increase in the bicycle population has caused traffic jams on and around the quadrangle, the University constructed paths especially for the bike pilot. Owners and operators of bicycles must register their vehicles with the university. A more spacious and more comfortable form of "wheels" is found in the shape of a car. These cars must be registered each semester. In addition to delivering owners to class, these cars manage to serve as a bus for all friends and acquaintances.

For those who prefer to socialize on the way to class, the Illi bus proves to be the best mode of conveyance. Packed to the over- flowing point, these buses deliver hundreds of students daily to classes all over campus.

Homecoming: Alums Descend En Masse Upon Campus

SAE's gather for a Homecoming reunion. Harlan (Jack) Horner, left, Albany, N. Y., honored guest, chats with '01 pal, Fred McCune, Chicago.

Homecoming 1961 : another exciting day for the alums as they descend en masse upon the campus to relive their joyous college days; another harrowing experience for students as they contemplate the hourlies coming up and the idea of a whole weekend wasted. But as the football team expectantly loses another game, the latter catches a few winks after a late night at decorations, or runs off to hide behind some books at the library; the former sheds a few tears at the sight of the old house, and then rounds up what few young brothers are still around for a bout of beer versus coke at the old campus spots. Then come the usual for the visitors: Stunt Show, homecoming badges to buy, a look at the beautiful queen, a chance to relate exactly how everything was done when they were at school. One last look at Kam's and one last exclamation at the new addition to the Union and the "mushroom," and goodbyes are in order for another year. Off go the cars to Chicago and parts un- known ; off go the students to the library, anxious to make a dent in the studying before plans go into effect for the next big football weekend. Dad's Day.

This is University Hal!, Illinois' first building. When it opened in 1885, it stood unfinished in the middle of a field so muddy that for years faculty and students wore rubber boots when crossing it. A collapsed ceiling in 1938 led to its being torn down.

Homecoming Displays Depict Land-Grant Centennial

Homecoming decorations at Armory House's "Hall of Fame'' pursue the weekend's theme, the Land Grant act.

This year the University of Illinois is joining with sixty-seven other colleges and universities across the country in celebrating the centennial of the Land-Grant Act. It was an Illinois reformer, Jonathan Baldwin Turner, who proposed a system of education adapted to the needs of the common man, and Justin Morrill whose driving force eventually pushed the bill through Con- gress. The results gave states federal land on which to establish and endow colleges within reach of all Americans. In 1863 the Illinois Legislature unanimous- ly accepted the Morrill Act, under which the state received 480,000 acres of land to found a university.

Five years later it opened, under the name of Illinois Industrial University, with an enrollment of fifty and a staff of three teachers and a head farmer. From its modest beginning, when a single building was its home and when students sometimes came downstairs from their rooms to recite in bathrope and slippers, the Uni- versity has grown tremendously, and continues to expand in response to the problems of our day.

Always Find Fun for All on a Football Weekend

Each year throngs of spectators avidly witness perennial football games in Memo- rial Stadium. Glancing at the stands, one perhaps is bewildered by the many spectators wearing orange capes. These spectators are members of "Block I," the largest card section of its kind in the university world. Through much intricate and tedious planning, patterns are developed by the members of the "Block I" committee. "Chief Illini" and the American Flag are just two of the many patterns that decorate the stadium on those fall football weekends. The bright array of different colored cards, contrasted against a multitude of people is so characteristic at the games. The shining cards scintillating in the Saturday afternoon sunlight is truly a stun- ning spectacle in itself. The usual half-time festivities are an attraction that make going to a football game more than just watching the fighting Illini pugnaciously penetrate the opponent's line. Be that as it may, through a medium of colored cards, a message is con- veyed. This colorful message, sometimes pa- triotic other times comical, is really only appreciated after one has seen it in operation.

An annual event of the Illinois-Purdue game is the firing of a small can- non. The winning team keeps the Civil War replica as a traveling trophy.

Rosemarie Reasor and Shirley Ross, Block- 1 co-ordinators, keep close contact with the West Block by telephone.

Means of Culture Development to all Students

Outstanding resources for aesthetic and intellectual development are readily avail- able to all University of Illinois students in the College of Fine and Applied Arts. Its work and its finished products are spread widely over the campus. Much student art work is displayed in the new Fine Arts Building as well as in Krannert Art Museum. The Illini Union always keeps an outstanding display of art on its ground floor. Anyone may make use of the art lending library. Often, as many as four mu- sical concerts a week are presented to the public by the Music School of the Fine Arts department; most of these concerts are performed in the beautifully designed re- cital hall of Smith Music Hall.

Also included in the college adminis- tered by Dean Allen S. Weller are the Bu- reau of City Planning; the University bands; various programs related to art, such as industrial design, printmaking, and advertising design; and numerous music organizations.

Two creative and very playful industrial design students try out their strange- looking invention in the shallow pool outside the new Krannert Art Museum.

Journalism College Reviews 60 Years' Progress

Molly Larson, Sue Cunningham, and Leslie Laird watch attentively as Professor Hanson indicates and discusses type faces in the galley.

In 1902 Illinois became one of the first universities to offer training in journalism when a small group of students enrolled for a rhet- oric course which dealt with writing for the press. Since that day 60 years ago the Col- lege of Journalism and Communications has grown and greatly expanded its program. Originally the program included only courses in news writing and editing, but now the college includes the Departments of Advertising, Journalism, and Radio and Television.

Students receive realistic training in modern newsrooms, radio and television studios, photography, printing, and advertising labs using latest equipment. The college library contains over 7,000 books, a newspaper file of some 50 publications, some 120 current maga- zines, and a collection of microfilms.

Located in a very beautifully designed building, the Law College provides a well-equipped library for an enrollment of 297 students.

Law Demands Much Professional Responsibility

The College of Law at the University of Illinois is rather unique since, unlike most colleges, much of its learning is done not by lecture and discussion sessions, but by the case history method and its application to modern law. Students deal directly with court decisions and legislative acts instead of re- lying heavily on textbook information. The college even has mock courtrooms and Moot Court to give students experience in court- room policy and procedure.

This year for the first time, a course in Soviet Law is being offered by the Law Col- lege. Students may take this course to fulfill the requirement of one non-technical subject. Illinois' Law College is one of only four universities in this country who offers Soviet Law.

The curriculum of the school includes the public nature of law as well as its private aspects in courses such as administrative law, labor law, trade regulations and atomic energy law.

In Quality Fundamental Branches of Learning

With an enrollment of approximately 6,500, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is one of the largest in the University. This college, the cornerstone of the academic community, holds for its purposes (a) to provide liberal education of high quality in the fundamental branches of learning at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and (b) to add to the store of knowledge in the Hu- manities, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences. These four departments are divided into 24 specific fields of study conducting undergraduate major programs, graduate work, and research. In addition, the College offers training in various pre- professional curricula, teacher-education curricula and inter-disciplinary programs. The general curricula leads to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, depending upon the field of concentration. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences prepares students to go into graduate school in a specific school of study.

School of Life Sciences Is Expanding Rapidly

Dean H. O. HaSversors, Head of the School of Life Sciences, is very enthusiastic about his department and has great confidence in it.

The School of Life Sciences is a relatively new department on campus, composed of the biological sciences. It was created to facilitate coordination between the various departments and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This year the second unit of the department is being built just to the south of Burrill Hall which is the central headquarters of the school.

The new building is being financed by a grant of $700,000 from the National Institute of Health and an appropriation of over $1,000,000 from the state. It is to serve mainly as a laboratory for the study of arthropod-borne diseases which, in spite of their world-wide importance, have been long neglected as an area of research. Teams of men from the departments of botany, entomology, and zoology will be cooperating in the research to be conducted in this laboratory.

The School of Life Sciences also has introduced two new programs into its curriculum, and this is not the end of the expansion planned in the near future. They have already presented a request for a third unit to be built east of the second unit.

Library Science Provides Intellectual Background

Librarianship is an old and honored profession. Libraries have existed from ancient times, and in the last century they have grown greatly in size and number. For a career in library work, a sound, well-balanced intellectual background is needed. The University of Illinois Graduate School of Li- brary Science provides this background. This school is one of four institutions which originated in the United States in 1897. Programs of study are on the graduate level and lead to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy.

A new project was established this past year. A research center was set up under contract supported by federal funds. This project was to study the problems of rural library service.

The school of Library Science trains thousands of librarians for conspicuous success all over the United States and many other countries.

Dean Robert B. Downs is Professor of Library Science and is the Director of Graduate School of Library Science.

Diligently preparing for classes, the students of the Library of Science profit from the selection of more than 20,000 volumes and some 28,000 reports.

The College of Physical Education at the University of Illinois boasts the largest enrollment in the United States and offers students a broad range of programs. Its four departments: the Department of Physical Education for Men, the Department of Phys- ical Education for Women, the Department of Recreation, and the Department of Health and Safety, train men and women for re- sponsible positions as counselors, teachers, recreational directors, and many other positions.

Besides handling the physical education requirements of freshmen and sophomores and giving professional training to physical education majors, the college also is in charge of the Student Rehabilitation Center for handicapped students, and does research on a variety of subjects. Two research projects this year were concerned with the growth of children and the effects of certain drugs on drivers. Through the years this College of Physical Education has been playing an ever- increasing role on campus.

School of Social Work Gives Field Training

The Jane Addams Centennial was last year, and in honor of the great social worker of the Hull House, the School of Social Work here at the University of Illinois has become the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work. The School, though it does have some undergraduate courses, is mainly a two year graduate school which gives professional training in social work and leads to the Master of Social Work Degree. Regular courses are, of course, the main- stay of the curriculum in the school, but perhaps the most interesting facet of the program according to the student's point of view is the opportunity given them to apply their knowledge in field work. Each student is assigned to an agency and allowed to work there under supervision, an arrangement from which he learns a great deal.

The broad and basic purpose of the school is to instill a knowledge of inter-personal and inter-group

relations in the student, plus a knowledge of the com- ponents of society and an intellectual and emotional maturity.

The curriculum is divided into four sequences, the first in the dynamics of human development, the second social welfare organization, the third social work methods, and the fourth research. The student, when he has completed the course, is equipped not for just one position in a specific agency, but for a wide variety of positions.

The school accepts students from a variety of foreign countries, qualified graduates from American Universities who have broad general social sciences backgrounds, and transfer social work graduate students.

The School is in the capable hands of Dr. Mark P. Hale, who is the Director. He is new here this year and was last at the University of Iowa.

College of Veterinary Medicine Aids Farmers

The School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Illinois was established in 1944. This school trains men and women in the fields of medicine involving the animal king- dom. A major objective of the College is to aid Illinois farmers in combating livestock diseases. The prevention and control of diseases of all species of animals is, however, the responsibility and obligation of the Col- lege. This is accomplished, in part, by extensive training of qualified students in the art and practice of veterinary medicine. Three major activities teaching, public service, and research serve in the fulfillment of these objectives by the College.

A minimum of sixty semester hours of pre- veterinary medical instruction is required for admission to the College of Veterinary Medi- cine. The first two years in the College are devoted largely to basic professional subjects. These courses are the foundation for the applied work of the final two years. Two-thirds of the instruction of the fourth year is in clinical and laboratory practice.

U. of I. Graduate College Promotes Research

In the year 1907, the Graduate College at the University of Illinois was officially established as an educational unit. From a small beginning, the Graduate College has become one of the University's two largest colleges. The basic aim of graduate instruction is to prepare each student with added knowledge in his particular field, whereas the main purpose of undergraduate instruction in any field is to acquaint the student with present, general knowledge in that field. Graduate programs stress independent work and individual work in all study areas.

Students of exceptional ability gain valuable teaching and research experience through the many part-time assistantships which are avail- able.

At Illinois, the Graduate College has juris- diction over all programs that lead to advanced degrees excepting professional degrees in the medical sciences.

Graduate students from all over the nation and the world come to the University of Illinois, which now ranks third in the country in doc- toral degrees awarded.

Edward E. Stafford, Associate Dean of Students, helps the student to find a well organized and happy life at the university.

Many Problems Confront the Deans of Students

R. A. Schuit-eman, Director of Foreign Student Affairs, strives to make the foreign students from all over the world feel at home.

Through cooperation and hard work, the various deans on campus aid in promoting a well balanced and organized life for each student. Dean Turner and his staff handle the problems of students in general, while Dean Sheldon and her staff give counsel to the women on campus and Dean Knox and his staff give counsel to the men. They act as advisers and help students with problems ranging from registration to graduation.

Too few of us really know what the job of a dean encompasses. Most of their work is done behind the scenes, yet each student on campus benefits from their service. Student welfare is the chief concern of each dean, and he does all in his power to help the student adjust to campus life.

The offices of these advisers are open throughout the day, and staff members are on call for any emer- gencies. It is through the combined efforts of these three staffs that students find it easy to adjust.

Admissions Office Shows Rise in Frosh Quality

This year we have enjoyed a phenomenal increase in the quality of the beginning freshmen admitted directly from secondary schools. There were 4916 beginning freshmen at Urbana in September. Of this number, 55 percent had been in the top quarter of their high school class, to 50 percent last year. Eighty-four percent had been in the top half of their high school class, in contrast to 79 percent in 1960. Only 2 percent had been in the lowest quarter, in contrast to 5 percent last year. The 55 percent from the top quarter and the 84 percent from the top half are the highest percentages the Uni- versity has enrolled from these groups. With this increase in quality of entering freshmen, there also was an increase in enrollment. Total enrollment leaped to 33,828 students, an increase of 1,699 students over last year. The ratio of men to women students has de- creased this year to approximately two and one-half to one from last year's three to one.

100A Administration Building is the nucleus of activity of the Office of Ad- missions and Records. Among other things, we pay our library fines here.

Charles W. Sanford, Dean of Admissions and Records, coordinates the manifold activities of this department. His beneficial assistance not only guides students through the rigors of enrollment, but often aids them in many matters of importance throughout their college career.

SNIB Gives Weekly TV Shows, Publicizes Activity News

Students prepare to take pictures for SNIB publication.

Publicizing activities and honors of students on the Agriculture campus is the Student News and Information Bureau. A service organization of the College of Agriculture, SNIB, has both student and professional purposes. SNIB is now in its sixth year and has 88 members who are gaining important experience in agriculture and home economics communications. Nine directors with the advice and help of the agricultural extension editorial office coordinate the activities of the six sections which work together to make up SNIB.

One of the most popular and enthusiastic sections is television. They prepare, direct, and participate in the weekly shows on WCIA. The re- lease section sends press and television releases about students activities and awards to hometown papers. Working closely with this section is the publication section which produces a bi-monthly digest which is distrib- uted on campus as well as throughout the state.

Campus Chest Sponsored Campus Pac Sale in Fall

Campus Chest, the only student charity organization on the campus, was founded in 1908 by students themselves to consolidate all the fund raising drives into one aggregate charity. The four-fold purpose of the organization is to sponsor the fund drive and the other charitable activities ; to allocate all funds and goods procuring from the drives ; to advise the Committee on Student Affairs on its proposed charitable activities ; and to educate the University community about the Chest-sponsored activities. The contributions from both University students and faculty are put into one fund which is then allocated to numerous charities of local, national, and international scope.

In addition to the annual fund drive held in the spring, the highlight of this year's activities was the Campus Pac Sale in the fall.

Assisting the directors in coordinating the year's activities was the Allocations Board which consisted of three faculty advisers and student representatives from various campus organizations.

Silver Skates" Theme for Annual Sno-Ball Dance

Brenda Fisher, Sno-Ball Queen

This year's annual winter formal, Sno-Ball, was held in the Illini Union Ballroom. The theme was Hans Christian Anderson's "Silver Skates" and was presented through the combined efforts of the Men's Independent Association and the Women's Group System. The Ballroom was decorated in a winter mo- tif, highlighted by a town setting animated by a re- volving skater. Paul Kenny and his orchestra acted as the town orchestra. The Club Sno-Ball, which had been transformed into a ski lodge with a roaring fire and checkered tablecloths, offered a change of pace in the evening. The guests were entertained by a combo headed by Jerry Grosse. The highlight of the evening came with the traditional crowning of the queen. This year, the honored coed was Miss Brenda Fisher, who is a junior in Agriculture from Benton. Her attendants were Diane Dorsey, a sophomore in LAS from Kankakee ; Leila Hucko, a sophomore in LAS from Chicago; Linda Evans, a senior in LAS from Elmwood Park; Judy Gene, a junior in FA A from Chicago, and Sara Bourque, a junior in LAS from Chicago. The queen and her court were es- corted by Phalanx. The formal was more than a success due to the hard work of both independent organizations. The major dance chairmen were Sue Seely and Don Beitz.

Top Engineering Students Dubbed at St. Pats Ball

St. Pat's Ball is held every year in March on Saturday of the Engineering Open House weekend. Twelve outstanding engineering seniors are selected as the Knights of St. Pat and presented at the dance and honored by Dean Everitt and Professor Greffe who appears with top hat, cane, and whiskers. After they kiss the Blarney stone, the Knights are granted a sword and a membership certificate to the "Knights of St. Pat" honorary society. This year a new set of rules, a new design of bronze sword, a coat-of-arms, and an official certificate have been originated by Kou- rosh Zaimi and will remain traditional.

St. Pat's queen is elected from the candidates of engineering societies. She was crowned by Dean Everitt on the night of the dance which was March 17, St. Patrick's Day. This year for the first time, there was also an openhouse princess who was crowned after the queen. A judging committee selected this girl as princess and one runner-up as maid-of -honor from fifty candidates from high schools all over Illinois. The girls' trips to the University were paid for by the committee.

The scene of this year's St. Pat's Ball was Huff gym. It was transformed into a land of Lepre- chauns using the official colors of the Knights of St. Pat green and white. The official crest was in back of the bandstand. Two thousand balloons were released from the ceiling as the queen was crowned.

This year's St. Pat's Ball was very successful and was the best attended dance next to homecoming. The students, the faculty, and the guests saw many big changes and improvements over all of the past dances.

Alpha Epsilon Stresses Excellence in Scholarship

Alpha Epsilon is an honorary organization which recognizes exceptional capabilities in scholarship, leadership, and character of agriculture engineers. The purpose of this fraternity is to link together the

basic principles of engineering with those of agriculture in advancing the cause of agricultural engineering. Alpha Epsilon honors those students who attain the goal set by this organization.

Alpha Sigma Nu Rewards Scholarship and Activities

Alpha Sigma Nu honors the outstanding women students who have maintained high scholarship averages and have done outstanding work with women's sports and dance council organizations.

Pledges are chosen from the junior and senior members of Orchesis, Terrapin, and Women's Sports As- sociation. Members are tapped at the beginning of the semester and initiated in May.

Alpha Lambda Delta promotes superior scholastic attainment among freshman women at the Uni- versity. The existence of the society provides incentive for freshmen women, the attitudes of the society inspire its members to greater scholastic achievement in the future, and it also cultivates a proper spirit toward learning. To be eligible for membership, a girl must carry at least fourteen hours of academic work and attain an average of 4.5 during her first semester. She might also join if she earned an average of 4.5 during her first year having carried at least twenty-eight hours. In the fall, the members spoke at all the housing groups to familiarize freshmen with the society, its purpose, and its tutoring program. At Christ- mas time, a tea was held for all freshman women who had a 4.0 average at midterm with the hope that they would be stimulated to achieve a grade average of 4.5 by the end of the semester. The society provides a tutoring program for women students having difficulties with studies.

Poultry Science Club Visits Illinois Poultry Farm

The only qualification which must be met by students for entrance into the organization is interest in poultry. The club visited several poultry farms this year to stimulate interest and recognition in

the poultry field. Besides special joint meetings with the Champaign-Urbana Poultry Growers Asso- ciation, the organization held a unique demonstra- tion on caponizing for students.

Pre-Veterinary Club Hears Talks by Veterinarians

The Pre-Veterinary Club was established to foster greater fellowship and interest among students and to better acquaint its members with the field of veterinary medicine. Watching operations, listening to

speeches by Veterinarians, seeing movies on various animal diseases, and touring the clinics and labora- tories occupied the time of the students who have organized and maintained this club.

The fleur de lis, a stylized form of the iris is both the symbol of Theta Upsilon and form of their pledge pins. The girls often incorporate this in decorating their rooms.

Founder's Day was celebrated early in February with a traditional banquet and tea held at the chapter house.

The national philanthropic projects are aiding Berea Col- lege in Berea, Kentucky, and the Navajo Indians. These projects gain contributions from the local chapter.

A pledge-of-the-month bracelet is awarded to a pledge most outstanding in scholarship and activities. The freshman and senior with the highest scholastic averages every year have their names engraved on a house plaque.

The Winter Formal at which each pledge is presented to Greek society is given by the actives for the pledges. The pledges then give a costume dance for the actives. Mardi Gras is the theme of this dance given every spring.

This year the girls of Zeta Tau Alpha are celebrating an anniversary their fortieth year on the University of Illinois campus. During this period of time, the ZTA's have been prominent in most all of the campus activities. Last year was no exception; several of the girls' names were put on the rosters of campus honoraries.

On October 1 of this year, the Zeta Tau Alpha's held ground breaking ceremonies for the brand new addition that they are building to their house. At the completion of the addition, the capacity of their house will be in- creased by approximately twenty more girls.

In the fall of the past year, the ZTA's, who were paired with Alpha Epsilon Pi, participated in the Stunt Show.

The girls of ZTA also place an emphasis on scholarship. Every semester, they award a plaque, the Mrs. George White award, to the girl who has shown the greatest improvement in grand point average from the previous semester.

Sycamore Hall's third year on campus as a transfer Pan- hellenic dorm was marked by the beginnings of several new traditions. Candle-lighting ceremonies for engaged, pinned and lavaliered girls, before held at the sorority houses, are now also a part of the exciting life at Sycamore.

Dad's Day was celebrated in the same tradition as sororities letting girls' fathers take over the third floor, after the girls have been evacuated. The fathers were then royally entertained by their daughters with refreshments, and several skits put on by the girls after hours.

Their moms were likewise the center of attention Mom s Day weekend. Sycamore challenged their mothers to a limbo contest. The mothers were victorious in this case.

For the first time the Sycamore girls held a dorm mixer party. They also had their annual Sweetheart Dinner when the dates came and visited after the Spring formal.

This year, the girls at Walnut turned to athletics and participated actively in volleyball and softball. These events helped promote unity among the girls, who were transfers from many different sororities and schools in the United States.

Since the girls do their own cooking, they were able to give their dates a very unusual treat last Christmas. They had the boys over and served them a genuine home-cooked meal! The two girls in each apartment prepared a dinner for their dates.

Walnut was also busy at Christmas with its "Pal Program." Being able to cook in the apartments was again the basis. The girls were hosteses to some men- tally retarded children from the Champaign area just before the start of the holidays. They helped their guests bake Christmas cookies to take home.

Enter the Acacia house during a certain weekend in the spring, and you will find yourself inside an Egyptian pyra- mid. Within the hieroglyphic-covered stone passageways and in the great sepulchral chamber, you will see many strange people: exotically costumed Pharoahs, mysterious Egyptian princesses, beautiful harem girls, and burnoosed camel drivers. But unlike the occupants of most pyramids, these peopel are far from dead they are living it up at Acacia's "Night on the Nile." This dance is traditionally the high point of the spring semester at all Acacia chapters.

Another tradition at Acacia helps them to promote clean living among its members. The brothers are showered, singly or collectively, in celebration of almost any occasion from pinning to trophy winning. Sheequon Weekend of 1961 holds the record for the wettest time ever, with a total of 1560 gallons of water soaking every Acacian in the house !

The Crows had a full schedule of social events that made their college year pass swiftly. To introduce the pledge class of '65 to life on campus the active chapter sponsored Arabesque, this year's pledge dance. Following the pledge dance came the winter formal. This year, "Snowed Inn III" was held at the Holiday Inn Motel in Urbana.

The annual Caveman Drag, however, was, as ever, the most successful dance of the year. All those attending the Drag had to enter the house through a long tunnel, both dark and dangerous. The interior of the house was decorated like a huge cavern. The busy social program of the year ended as the Crows held their spring formal in the chapter house.

The Active-Pledge football game is an annual event that is looked forward to each year. This game always turns out to be a victory for the actives. The reason for this might be because the referee is always an active.

This year marks a half century that the Illinois chapter of Alpha Delta Phi has been on campus. In conjunction with this event the Alpha Delts will host the National Conven- tion, which is to be held this summer.

The Alpha Delts are represented in several major campus activities, boasting the Directorship-at-Large of the Stu- dent Union, business manager of the University Theatre, and the chairmanship of Interfraternity Rush.

Scholarship also ranks high at Alpha Delta Phi. A total of 75 is awarded each semester, $25 each going to the active with the highest grades, to the active who has made the greatest improvement, and to the pledge with the highest average. They also have a steak and beans dinner.

The Alpha Delts upheld one of their most honored traditions again this year that of erecting a giant-sized 35-foot Christmas tree in their living room.

At this time the AEPi's are in the process of building a brand new chapter house in Champaign, so they will not be located much longer at their present address.

Also, as in most every Greek house on campus, great emphasis is placed on scholarship and the achievement of high grades. The AEPi's have set up an award system for those members achieving excellence in grades. The active having received the highest grades for a one-semester period receives a fraternity ring. The pledge who has received the highest grade average for a semester receives a plaque with his name engraved on it, and is honored at a dinner that is held in early winter for such occasions.

Alpha Gamma Rho is truly a social fraternity where all of the members have a definite interest in agriculture and most of the alumni are in agricultural professions.

At Homecoming the Alpha Gamma Rhos dedicated a new addition to their fraternity. A new dormitory, kitchen, study rooms and dining room were added, as well as facilities and rooms for twenty-three men. Over five hundred people came to the dedication along with two national officers.

Alpha Gamma Rhos have four dances per year: the pledge dance, the Christmas formal, the Bowery Brawl, and the Pink Rose formal. For the Bowery Brawl they cover their walls with wrapping paper and have the A P Xs paint it with car- toons. For the Pink Rose Formal they decorate their houses with 1,200 fresh roses placed in beautiful patterns.

The Alpha Gamma Rhos have awards for achievement and for leadership, and members are in the various honoraries.

ATO boasts one of the newest and most beautiful houses on campus. The original chapter house was erected in 1930 and is the second newest one on campus. The new addition is two years old and consists of twenty study rooms, a new kitchen, and a snack bar which the boys really like.

Again this year ATO sponsored its annual contest for the outstanding pledge class project. The winning pledge class was presented with a beautiful trophy.

The ATO social calendar for this year included its four annual house dances : the pledge dance, the V.M.I. Formal, the Outhouse Scramble, and the Spring Formal. The Out- house Scramble again was the wildest dance of the year The entire house was decorated like a barn, and the entrance to the house consisted of a lengthy tunnel winding through the basement and up the stairs. The tunnel opened into a room decorated to look just like an outhouse.

Last spring the pledges of Beta Sigms Psi were delighted to learn of a new house mascot. Pledge duties now include the care of Baron, a purebred boxer. Since that time Baron has managed to make friends with all but a few canine foes in the neighborhood and on the college campus.

Recently started at Beta Sig was the policy of engraving the name of the pledge father and son who had the highest combined average on a permanent plaque. The plaque hangs in the chapter lounge.

During football weekends you may have heard, from blocks away "Illinois Loyalty" being wailed in Dixieland. Team spirit came over the phonograph with the compliments of the hi-fi bugs in the Beta Sigma Psi house.

Each fall and spring the pledge class has its own pledge dance The dances were completely planned by the pledges and were noted for their down to earth methods of arrival, such as through basement windows.

Once again Beta Theta Pi took the Interfraternity award for scholarship, showing their positive attitude toward the academic aspect of college. This success in scholarship is the result of house unity and an extended effort in fields of academic achievement and other related fields. Rewards are given by the Building Association to the men with the top grades in each class. The man that shows the best improvement in grades from one semester to the next is also given a highly coveted award by the Association.

The Betas organized the fall street dance in conjunction with Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This proved such a success that they hope to make it an annual fall event.

The pledge class took the house back to 65,000 B.C. for their annual pledge dance. The theme of the dance was the "Cave Man Drag" and the steaming pot was the focal point in the cave-like structure of the main living room.

On the eighteenth of November, Chi Phi fraternity took a trip to Wisconsin with Kappa Delta sorority. They also participated in co-recreational volleyball games with Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Chi Phis were active in almost every Intramural sport such as football and basketball.

Chi Phi is a house of varied personalities. Members are in colleges varying from Agriculture to L.A.S., and home towns ranging from Urbana, Illinois, to Kingston, Jamaica.

To promote scholarship in the house, the Sparks Award and the Jim Lee Memorial Award are presented. Both con- sist of a monetary gift and a trophy. The Chi Phis won trophies last spring presented by Inter-Fraternity Council for improvement in scholarship and pledge class scholarship.

The annual "Bowery Brawl" is the theme of the pledge dance held annually every fall. The architecture of the house is unique in that it is shaped like a cube.

In 1961 the men of Delta Tau Delta won the IM Basketball Championship and were runners-up in the 1961 Interfrater- nity football contest. Again this year the Delts sponsored their Annual Invitational Basketball Tournament as a pre- view of fraternity IM basketball. The top 16 teams of 1960 were invited back to test their potential strength against their competition. In addition to extensive participation in intra-mural sports, the brothers of Delta Tau Delta have participated individually in nearly every campus activity.

Like many other houses on campus, the Delts have their own unique traditions. After an active has completed five semesters of work at the university, he is eligible to carve his name in one of the bricks of the fireplace. The bricks date back to 1878. A scholarship ring was also awarded to the man with the highest scholastic average, while $25.00 was awarded for the greatest scholastic improvement.

The Delta Upsilon house has been concerned about scholarship and has put stress on its scholastic programs. All the hard work that they put forth to reach their goal re- sulted in receiving second place in scholastic improvement. They ranked ninth in general scholarship.

The "D LPs" also participate in many inter-campus activities. They sponsor an annual Illini Grand Prix-Bike Race. Last spring after much hard work, the house was honored by being named as second place holders in Sheequon. They were paired with Alpha Delta Pi in this event.

Along with the usual social events and banquets, the D U house held a banquet for Tug Wilson honoring his retire- ment from the "Big Ten Commissioners."

The chapter house is well known for two symbols. They are the pledgebell and the "Senior Table." On this table all of the graduating seniors carve their names.

A very significant event for the Sigma Chi this year was the presentation of $4,400.00 in scholarship funds from their alumni in which fifty-five members will share. The total grant was the most any fraternity chapter has ever been awarded in a single year. Scholarship is encouraged in the house by awarding jeweled pins to those members making the highest grade point average in each class respectively.

Fifty girls from Monticello College were invited by the members of Sigma Chi to a twisting party and buffet dinner after the Purdue-Illinois football game. The girls came by bus, and it was a very successful event because the girls later invited the Sigma Chi's to come to their winter formal held at Monticello College the weekend of December 2nd.

A Christmas party was given by the members this year for underprivileged children with all the trimmings including a Santa Claus, colored toys, and lots of ice cream for all.

This year the list of Sigma Nu men who are participating in different activities on campus is a long one. Different offices that are held by Sigma Nu's include Executive Vice- President of the Inter-Fraternity Council and Legislative Vice-President of Student Senate. The Outstanding Greek of 1961 was also a Sigma Nu, and finally there are two Sigma Nu's who are members of Ma-Wan-Da, two who are members of Wa-Na-See, and one who is a member of Sachem.

This year the Sigma Nu's also started a revised pledge training program which produced excellent results.

The Beachcombers Ball, which is held each Spring, is the highlight of the Sigma Nu social year. The decorations include two tons of sand which covers the basement floor plus a stream and waterfall. The bids are fresh coconuts which are delivered by the pledges to the girls at their houses after the pledges have given a skit during dinner.

Sigma Phi Delta is a professional yet social fraternity. All of its members are studying engineering. Being engineers, the members of Sigma Phi Delta assume every responsibility for maintenance of the chapter house. This includes all necessary repairs and improvements.

This past fall the Sigma Phi Deltas held a dinner-dance which was sponsored by the Sigma Phi Delta Alumni. It was a mortgage burning ceremony which commemorated a debt fully paid on the chapter house as of this fall.

Last year the Sigma Phi Deltas captured the Illini Union Bowling Championship here on campus. They had high hopes of winning it again this year. They competed with Tri- angle fraternity also in a sequence of several sports : football, tennis, basketball, bowling, and softball, for a trophy.

The Sigma Phi Deltas awarded scholarship trophies to an active and a pledge for the highest grades each semester.

The Sig Eps chose the theme for their pledge dance in a very unique way. The theme was "Speak-Easy" which employs their house initials in the three beginning letters S.P.E. In addition to this costume dance where the whole house was boarded up, Sigma Phi Epsilon also held a winter formal. A Casino theme was used here, and the dance was held in the chapter house. Their social calendar was round- ed out with exchanges held throughout the year. Like the rest of the campus, the Sig Eps became expert "twisters" and twisting was the highlight of nearly every exchange.

Many football fans, on campus for the game, noticed the Sigma Phi Epsilon house on their way to the stadium. They probably first heard the music which was always playing and then the traditional "red door" probably caught their eye. Four boys in the house formed a small Dixieland Com- bo and they played for several pep rallies in the fall.

Sigma Pi received an $85,000 face-lifting this year. The dining room and the downstairs were completely remodeled and ten new rooms were added on to the back of the house. This is the first of three stages of building to be done.

The highlight of their 1961 Spring Formal was the visit from "Grandma." On this evening a woman who had been pinned to a Sigma Pi fifty years ago was the honored guest of the chapter. This event obtained national coverage for the house as did the Sigma Pi "Pig Roast" during Greek Week.

One of the biggest social events of the year was the annual Liberation Ball which was held with Delta Upsilon for the fourth year. This function was originated to celebrate the two houses getting off social probation. They were put on social pro for starting the first water fight. Now they are channeling their efforts to prevent this annual event. In '61 they played bridge over a fire hydrant.

The men of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity celebrated the fifteenth year anniversary of their University of Illi- nois chapter during the Homecoming season. The Sig Taus had a rather unique founding on this campus. It seems that their chapter was founded in this area by a group of vet- erans after World War II in the fall of 1946.

To encourage good scholarship and to provide an extra incentive to study, the brothers of Sigma Tau Gamma kept a scholarship plaque on which they engraved the name of the scholar who made the greatest grade improvement over his preceding semester. This has been done several years.

The Sig Taus had a socially active year. They introduced their pledge class at their annual pledge dance. The theme this year was "Deadwood Drag." Their winter formal, De- cember sixteenth, was held in the Illini Union which' was decorated in a wintry yuletide fashion.
