I also realize that the trouble, to a large extent, lies with the chapter. In order to improve this situation, Archie Lineberger has been appointed Gradu ate Secretary and has set us a complete program of graduate relations. I feel that with a little effort from the active brothers we can make this program a great success. So far this year we have excellent turn-outs after home football games, and I am sure that the brothers have enjoyed themselves. There has also been some interest in establishing several graduate chapters over the state. Bill Hauser, National Graduate Secretary, is largely responsi ble for this development, and graduate chapters have already been organized in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area and in the Rocky Mount area. I group, and we hope that at least twice this many will return this Spring, when a big Pig Dinner will be the occasion. dition. Through the work of the com We realize that stronger alumnae relations will now be necessary due to the turn of events during the last few mittee many excess expenses have been cut, and the entire chapter who wanted to help, but didn't know making concessions so that our financial condition will not deepen. With brothers, past and present, showing more interest in the chapter's finances together with good organization, better results are certainly hoped for. Besides what is being done within the "House", an active drive is under way to collect deliquent accounts owed to us from brothers who have gradu years. In the past, the many alumni exactly how, revealed the need for better organization. This year, we hope to get some graduate chapters started and maybe arrange several social functions in addition to Pig Dinner. Please let us know if you have any ideas, or would like to help organize the Phi Gams in your area. More than ever, Epsilon wants and needs your interest. Fraternally, ated.

Our best effort was seen in tag football when we won five straight game before losing out in the semi-finals to the ATO's in a 14-13 squeaker. The next sport on the intramural calendar was volleyball and Epsilon had great expectations with four out of six players returning from last year's team which reached the semi-finals. However, we had a couple of bad breaks and did not make the playoffs. There was a good turn out for wrestling, but the only one to advance past the first round was Mokey Lasitter, a senior who was a prep wrestling star at Baylor School. In track, Epsilon placed in a couple of events, but overall our showing was a little disappointing. The same could be said for swimming and handball, but those on the team should be com mended for Page Three EPSILON 'OWL their effort. Basketball has just been completed for Epsilon. Both teams lost out in the play offs. Both the Blue and the White teams got off to a slow start, but came back strongly before losing to very fine ball clubs. Next on the intramural calendar bowling, table tennis, badminton, tennis, horseshoes, and Softball. We should do very well in these sports and af our good showing, we should climb up the point ladder and be within the top few. There are a lot of good boys returning, plus our new spring pledges who will give new efficiency to our spring intramural program. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone affiliated with Epsilon for all the support they have given me as new intramural chairman and especially Bill Nelson, the past intramural chairman, for his assistance. Let us all continue to show interest and spirit and win a trophy for the house this spring. Rusty Hodges Intramural Mgr. supper, kegged beer, and the juke box.

Brother Hare married the former Jane Schoolfield of Danville, Va., ten years ago, and they have a five-year-old son, R. Bryant, IV. The semester got off to a roaring start with Winter Germans the first weekend we got back. Friday night saw us with the Phi Delts and the Sigma Chi's at the Legion Hut with the Continentals furnishing the "sounds". On Saturday afternoon a cocktail party was held and Saturday night was of course the concert featuring Louis Armstrong and the Sherelles. A Sunday afternoon party was held with several other fraternities at Maultsby's cabin with Jap and his Jammers. A combo party was given to our new pledges on Feb. 22 at the house, but our really big social event of the year is yet to come; that is our Fiji Island weekend. This will be held on March 13-15. The Island party will be held on Friday night with the usual colorful decorations and costumes. The formal presentation of the pledges will be held on Sat. afternoon with a combo party at the Ponderosa that night with music by the Vibrators. Later in the spring a hay ride and a beach weekend are planned; along with these will be the famous, popular New Legionnaire Dr. Sheppard Young Tyree (MIT '42) has been elected by Epsilon to serve as its Purple Legionnaire.

Our first week end saw us off to a good start with a backyard party with the Zetes. Jap Allen and his "Jammers" provided the music. With the end of rush we had Ross Farrington and a couple of kegs. This was financed by passing the hat so that our "bulls" could attend.
