Delta Zeta
May Leave
USA Party
With ASUO elections only a
month away, dissension may be
rumbling within a segment of the
Greek section of the United Stu
dent Association.
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.
Gloria Kraft, newly-elected house
president of Delta Zeta, would not
affirm or deny the report.
The Delta Zetas ljave not yet
taken a formal vote.
Meeting Held
A meeting of representatives of
the five houses was held Thursday
night at the Alpha Xi Delta house,
but no comment by any of the mem
bers as to a decision was made.
According to a tentative agree
ment reached at a similar meeting
of the five houses Feb. 7, any mem
ber intending to go back to AGS
must inform the remaining Greek
non AGS houses some eight days
before a formal vote is taken.
The other provision reached at
the February meeting was that the
five houses would meet before for
mal action on the part of any one
was taken.
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

A roaming instinct is found in

in Seattle 21 years ago, Janet’s
parents moved to the outskirts of

And still Janet isn’t satisfied.
She wants to go to South America

Toinette
By ANNE GOODMAN
Last term she made a four-point
GPA.
This term she disproved the
the "brains without beauty” theory
by becoming a Junior Weekend
Court finalist.
“I drink lots of fruit juices,”
Toinette Rosenberg humorously of
fered as her success formula for
consistently making the honor roll.
Her parents like French names.
That’s why they looked in a French
dictionary to find "Toinette” (pro
nounced ten-ette). By the same
procedure her two sisters were
named M’liss and Renee, she ex
plained.
An English major, the shortest
