USA officials, however, are silent. Sources report that Delta Zeta, one of the five Greek members of the coalition party, indicated its desire, in a recent straw vote, to return to the Greek Bloc.

Five Houses Represented The meeting was held after the Phi Sigma Kappa petition for re instatement in the Associated Greek Students, which came just after Freshman elections. Represented at the Thursday meeting were Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Al pha, Delta Zeta, and Alpha Xi Delta. r I Cast in Production THE GALAXY OF VOCAL talent piteured above will be cast alternately in the two major feminine singing' roles in ‘'Martha,” comic opera production scheduled to open tonight at the Univer sity theater.
