Phi Kappa Pi Is Organized By Ldcal Houses EIGHTY-FIVE ADMITTED New Group is Sponsered By Older Fraternities NEW YORK (Special Dispatch)— A new college fraternity, with chapters extending from New Hamp shire to Iowa and Nebraska and with a membership at the outset of nearly 300 undergraduates, was formed by representatives of col lege locals at the national inter fraternity conference which ended its sessions here December 1. The new Greek society was tentatively named Phi Kappa Pi. Its chapters will be located at Penn State, Illinois, Iowa State college, George Washington, Bucknell, New Hampshire, Stevens, Worcester Poly, Davidson, Temple University, Ne braska Wesleyan and the University of Chattanooga. When organization plans are completed in six months, locals at other colleges and universities may be admitted, but, representatives at the conference decided, applicant lo cals must be in goo'd financial stand ing, must possess or lease their own home and have two years’ standing as a college fraternal body at an institution of learning at which at least five recognized national fra ternities are located. New Groups Fostered Formation of Phi Kappa Pi came as the result of a policy laid down early in the year by conference officials to foster establishment of one or more new national fraterni ties in order to extend to more college men the advantages of a na tion-wide Greek letter organization. Delegates from 85 locals throughout the country attended a special meeting held concurrently with con ference sessions. Recommendations that the confer ence establish an annual meeting of professional and honorary fraterni ties and also specifically define their membership limitations, were voted held over for another year’s in vestigation of the subject by a spe cial committee. Several speakers warned that professional fraterni ties practicing dual membership and the induction of freshmen and sophomores might soon weaken the standing of general fraternities at certain colleges. New Bodies Formed Conspicuous among the results of the conference was the formation of two permanent bodies—-the inter local fraternity conference and the undergraduate interfraternity coun cil conference—which will meet con currently with the parent organiza tion next year.

The game was fast, but at times resembled a gridiron battle more than a basketball game, with the players scuffling fiercely for possession of the ball. The winners i amassed an 18-7 lead in the first I period and had a decided advantage. J A desperate comeback by the Kappa Deltas in the last half net ' ted them 12 points to the A. T. O.’s [ 6 markers and came nearly giving them the contest. Carson and Car j ter scored all of the winners points, Carson making 16 and Carter 8 points. Tetz, Norton and Hermanz J showed up well for the losers. The Phi Belts and Plu Psis fought it ought to a fare-ye-well in the second game, the former winning 113-12. The score was tied several i times during the game, with first one team and then the other forging into the lead. The score was 7-7 at the end of the first period and neither squad could secure a de cisive advantage ^during the last half. With one minute to go and the Phi Psis holding a one-point lead, Hobson looped a clean basket and sewed up the contest for the Phi Delts. This victory gives the Phi Delts a tie with the Sigma Chi team for third place in league “A.” Hobson and Gerke were in the lime light for the winners and Bice and Peterson played well for the losers.

The story is about motion picture life in the studios at Universal City; California. “PETER IBBETSON” IS BEAUTIFUL FANTASY (Continued from page one) it is through their dreams that Peter and Mary conquer life. The plot needs but little elucida tion. Mimsey and Gogo are chil dren of fate, dreaming in their childhood, which is spent happily together, of former days and of love to be fulfilled in the future. They are separated, become man and woman, and encounter the tragedy of life. Once more they are but the world and its laws stand thrown together, they love again, between them and they decide to part. Gogo, now Peter the man, kills his uncle to defend his mother’s honor, and is sentenced to to death. I Mimsey, who has 'become Mary, Duchess of Towers, appears to him in a dream and tells him that ho must dream true; that by dreaming true their love will be fulfilled. So Peter, his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, lives through the day that, at night he may com mune with his mate, the mate who he will never see again in the flesh, but with whom he travels each night to the region that transcends all human woes. Mr. Reddie has impregnated him self with the essence of Peter Ib betson, whom he portrays. He is a dreamer, and so subtly does he dream that his audience is carried into the land of spirits with him. Mrs. Leader, too, ns the Duchess of Towers, seems continually to be em erging from the land of fairies to smooth away human cares with her soft voice. This atmosphere, how ever is not maintained throughout the play—when Mr. Reddie is off stage the action is interesting but the spell is broken. The cast includes many names, characters are given little chance for distinction. Of the newer mem bers of the company a few might be mentioned. Tcrva Hubbard’s work as Colonel Ibbetson is convincing as well as animated. Walter Mal colm has a pleasing freshness and a pleasing voice. Ilelga and Rose McGrew add a truly foreign touch to a foreign play. Beth Fariss, Lady Are You Having a Hard Time Selecting Your Christmas Gifts If you are, we can be of service to you.

Regarding the construction of the .play, the prologu.e is perhaps a trifle long, giving a slow start to the performance* A small stage, when crowded with'people giv.es aii unnatural effect .when ’two” charm • ters converse in loud tones to the supposed exclusion of the others. This unnatural effect is produced in several scenes of the Guild hall show, and unnatural effects are poor art. Mr. Reddie has divided his play into ten scenes. Considering the limitations of the Guild hall stage, the inability to change scenes swift ly ami to keep up the swing and atmosphere of the play, a-reduc tion of the number of scenes should make for a more unified perform ance. Commedation should be given ^tr. Mulkey for his special lighting effect’s^. , : ' Modernity’ frowns,on the soliloquy as being unnatural. The soliloquies of last night’s production, however, seem pardonable, even acceptable. A dreamer is expected to speak his thoughts. Finally, one thing which is inexcusable in any play is for gotten lirijs. Guild hall produc tions will meet with a fuller measure of praise when this irritant is com pletely removed.
