Through the
two
j'ears
work of Brother Martin the financial
policy of the fraternity has been put
on a sound and rigid basis. He has
inaugurated a policy
whereby all
house bills are paid in advance and
on time and he informs us that these
rules are to be more rigidly enforced
when
we enter the new
house.
In
fact, John is the man behind the
guns and he fires when necessary.

is expected in the near future.

The year from September to June
has been one of hope—first, hope that
the chapter would get a new house,
then hope that there would be enough
monej' to pay for it, and now hope
that we can prove ourselves worthy
of it. It has really been an inspira

The year at 311 has been success
ful in everj' respect. The chapter
has won four out of the six trophies
offered for intramural athletics, and
offers them as its contribution to the
new mantlepiece. The freshman class
has developed and increased and has
entered into the spirit of fraternity
surprisingly well. Psi has cori^)ed off

This year's freshman class has been
one of the
most unfortunate, if
we
might call it that, that we have ever
had. During the rush season last
fall we collected the best freshman
class on the campus but several of
them have been
forced
to leave
school for various reasons. At pres
ent we have three wearers of the
white star still in school that are not
active in the chapter but they are to
be back next fall ready for business.
They are Roger Hickman, Winnipeg,
Canada; Ed Flannigan, Crawfordsvilie, and Ira Jones, Marion. During
the year at various times three other
neophites had to leave school. Philip
Adams, Springfield, Ohio, had to
leave on account of bad health and
also Roger Smith, Winchester, went
to Arizona for his health.
Bill Meii-
denhall, Winchester, left college to
enter business with his brother.
At present four new men have been
pledged, two of whom are to enter
college next fall and the other two in
1927.
The ones to enter college next
fall are: Waldo Bail, Hammond, and
Harry Smith, Winchester. The other
two are: Edward Bratton and Robert
Brammer, both of Muncie.

Miles and probably that explains his

on The Bachelor and is seen on the

RUSSELL JOSEPH

have

year. Wliat's the

FRED WILLIAMS DUNIHUE, Bed

when they get
together the general impression left
is that the Palace of Versailles is
made of the Bedford product. Fred
is one of the Chemistry students so

quite the steady boy about the house
but he also likes to talk a bit. He is
a member of the Student Council.

JAMES, Sioux City, Iowa.—He calls
Sioux City his home but we fear,
after a recent passing out of cigars,
it is on Pike Street East.

local products. He is a brother of
Nev James and keeps the brothers

WALTER WARREN THORNBURG,
Muncie, Ind.—Another of the Muncie
tribe. He has been doing excepionally well in all three of the major
sports. Tootle is one of the best
prospective athletes in the chapter
and even in college. He is one of
the few that are free from he fem
inine menace. Instead of dating as
do most of his classmates he spends
his time on the banks of Sugar Creek
with his rod and reel. "Tootle" won
numerals in three sports plajdng end
on the football team, forward in bas
ketball and holding down the "hot
corner" on the diamond.
WALTER
NATHAN
PICKETT,
Crawfordsville, Ind.—Nate is the only
town boy in our ranks a present but
he is keeping the boys in girls and
getting them bids to the High School
Sorority dances. He, as the rest of
his class, has a secret longing for a
girl's company. Nate is at a dis
advantage not being able to tell much
about his home town that is out of
the ordinary for the chapter knows
as much about it as he does.
CHARLES
RILEY, Indianapolis,
Ind.—Alias Rheumatic Charley. Riley
is another of the second semester
boys so hasn't had much chance to
a lot. He was forced out of school
for a month but by hard work he
pulled through to finish the semester.
HAROLD CLARK WAGNER, Ham
