Beta Plii Alpha
The realization that many of
their own members needed finan
cial assistance in order to complete
their college careers caused Beta
Phi Alpha to use their Memorium
fund, established in memory of
Mary Gordon Holway, counsellor
of early Beta Phi Alpha. Origin
ally it was to be used to aid any
deserving college woman, but now
is available only to members.
Through gifts from the chapters,
alumnae associations, and individ
uals this fund increases." As soon
as it has assumed the necessary
proportions to fill more than re
quests from members, the frater
nity will extend the loan to non
members as well.

Chi Omega
The alumnae of Psi Alpha chap
ter of Chi Omega on this campus
are the donators of the cup which
is given annually to the house
which has the highest scholarship
rating in the University.
In commemoration of the place
of its founding, national Chi Ome
ga erected a Greek theatre on the
University of Arkansas campus in
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Dr. Florence Salin last year re
ceived the Chi Omega achievement
award, presented by the fraternity
to the wqman who has done the
most outstanding work in her field.
Maintaining a service fund in or
der to carry out various projects,
Chi Omega is at present sponsor
ing a study of “Women and
Health" at Chicago, and “Chapter
House Management” at Columbia
university. On each campus where
a chapter is located, a prize is giv
en by that chapter to the outstand
ing student in sociology.
Two-tone Oxfords
Attract Shoppers
At Graham s Store
By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST
Although spring is playing her
usual little joke on us by making
the heavens frown and causing
our new spring clothes to remain
disconsolately in the closets, we
can still ruminate on how to be
well shod or what to wear to the
coming Mortar Board ball.
* # *
Seen at Graham's—a new ship
ment of campus sport oxfords pop
ularly priced at $5.00. Made of
white elk with the desirable plain
toe finish, they are swagger yet
trim and just the thing to “round
off” your sport outfit. Another
attractive feature is the brown or
black saddle.
* * *
And then there was the poor lit
tle girl who stood and gazed long
ingly into the big store window at
the dresses. This is exactly what
happened the other day. The
store was H. Gordon's. The dress
was a woman's idea of a perfect
spring . . . yellow with a subdued
brown plaid . . . evidently the pur
pose of the designer was to revive
the charm of the '90's. Exagger
ated sleeves and a brown taffeta
bow covering most of the back.
Sad but somebody got it.
$ sis *
The dress of mouslin de soi her
alds, a new trend in spring fabrics.
Do we dare say without insulting
the dress you just bought that
sleeves are becoming larger and
rounder and losing that puffy ap
pearance. Yellows, aquatones,
plaids, and checks are all sup
posed to be good but again it all
depends on your definition of good.
* £ *
And since our Paris dispatch
failed to arrive we must necessar
ily close with:
“Costly thy habit as purse can
buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich,
not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the
man.”
