PICTURED (at right) is Bishop A. Frank
Smith, a 1912 graduate of Southwestern
University, showing to Gibbs Mood, a sen-
ior at the university, a grade book (dated
Feb. 1878-’79) which belonged to Dr. Fran-
cis Asbury Mood, a professor and first pres-
ident of Southwestern University (at its
Georgetown location). Gibbs Mood is the
great-grandson of Dr. Mood and the son
of Dr. and M,rs. George F. Mood of Midland.
Bishop Smith presented the book to Dr.
Durwood Fleming (at left) during the
Charter Day program on the campus on
Feb. 5, the 122nd birthday of Southwest-
ern. Bishop Smith found the book in a
trash can when he was a student at South-
western University, 1908 - 1912. Nobody
seemed to know at that time just what to
do with the book ... so Bishop Smith has
had it “in safe keeping” all these years.
Dream Reveals
Greek Councils
Last night I dreamed that
strange things were happening. It
seems that I yvas a reporter for
the MEGAPHONE and I was sup-
posed to get the scoop on the new-
ly elected officers of each of the
sororities. The funny thing was
that I seemed to be somewhere
Over the rainbow following the yel-
' low brick road. I really felt out of
it! I could hardly believe my eyes
when I saw a luxury steamship
anchored in a nearby wheat field.
As I approached cautiously, I rea-
” lized that it was the good ship AL-
PHA DELTA PL The gangplank
was. lowered and Mary Hays, the
guard, helped me aboard. I—was
* greeted by the social and activities
directors, Sara Burgin and Joan
Baenziger. They took me to the
wardroom to meet their captain,
Sandra Elliott. She was giving the
new Stdff thfeir orders. Tinka Sim-
ons was given charge of all new
recruits. Jerry Evans is to act as
efficiency chairman. Connie Cooper
must guard the Alpha Delta Pi
treasure chest. Julie Hailey i s
Chaplain, Mary Lovey Wood’s duty
is to encourage the advancement
of knowledge, gradewise. Jackie
Carol Watson must keep the k>g.
Kathy Foster’s registrar aq^ Jack-
ie Watts is the official reporter and
historian. Linda Schultz is respon-
sible for all communications.. Pat
Tanner is the new captain of the
- RUSH, a little gig used for hauling
in new passengers. Program Chair-
man Linda Cammeron and Song
Leader Nancy Fraser work togeth-
er to boost moral. Barbara Smith
reprsents the ALPHA DELTA PI
at the Panhellenic Conference. I
was enjoying nay visit, but I could
hear duty calling me back to the
yellow brick road.
Back on the road, I could see a
shiny radar screen in the distance.
As I approached it, I saw that it
was mounted in the spout of a real
crazy looking teapot. When I saw
Delta Zeta written across it, I fig-,
ured that maybe it was the Delta
Zeta Lamp of Knowledge. I knock-
ed on the front of it but nothing
happened. I got out my handker-
chief to rub off my finger prints
and as I rubbed strange things be-
gan to happen. The lid flew back
and a ladder descended right be-
fore me. I climbed up the ladder.
When I looked down into the lamp.
I was greeted by the new execu-
tive council of Delta Zeta. Barbara
Williams, the new president, invit-
ed me to sit in on the meeting. She
took her seat, at the head of the
long table. At her right were two
scribes; Kit Schoenfield, who took
note of all transactions, and Glen-
da Greer, who must keep in con-
tact with the outer world. Next
to the scribes sat Cathie Osborne
whose duty is to supervise study-
ing in the Kingdom of Delta Zeta.
Her assistant is Mona Lowman.
Kathy Strickler is the new His-
torian. At the president’s left sat
Linda Olson guarding the money
bags and phone bills. Becky Mays
was doing her best to help her.
Motherly Martha Moreland entered
the room with some naiive looking
children following her. Each car-
ried a black shield with a gold
lamp on it. They gave a humorous
skit for the elders and quietly fad-
ed away grinning mischieviously. I
was enjoying myself so much that
I hated to leave, but Karen Hamme
began to rush me.
As I continued dcwn the road,
I came to a beautiful Southern
mansion. When I entered 1 found
Greeks with a Southern drawl. The
hostess, Eleanor Shult, infiSfrned
me that I was in the home of the
Phi Mu Ladies. She said that they
were having a meeting of the new
executive house council. I sat down
and she introduced me to the new

Drinking Resolution
To Appear In Senate [
Bv DAVID WATTS
It is desired by many that a
more mature and realistic ap-
proach be made to the issue of
drinking at Southwestern Univer-
sity. The executive committee of
the Student Senate passed a resolu-
tion concerning this matter and it
will appear on the Senate floor next
Thursday night. The resolution is
requesting that the standing rule
be designed to prohibit the posses-
sion of intoxicating beverages and
drinking, only on the campus prop-
er and at official functions of the
University, thus leaving the stu-
dent at his own discretion at home,
during_the_summer and off the
campus. The resolution reads as
follows:
RESOLUTION! DRINKING
The Southwestern University Sen-
ate, representing the Student Body
of said institution, makes the fol-
lowing request of the administra-
tion and rules committee:
That the rule regarding drinking
of intoxicating beverages be re-
vised according to the following
principle:
Possession or the consuming of
alcoholic beverages shall be prohib-
ited on the University campus
proper and at all official univer-
sity functions. Persons who appear
on campus or as official University
representatives in an intoxicated
state, or who violate any civil stat-
ute law pertaining to, and resulting
from the possession and-or con-
sumption of said alcoholic bever-
ages shall be subject to disciplin-
ary action.
Other resolutions that will ap-
pear will concern the price of books
in the bookstore and the rights of
the Hungarian People.
The Senate will welcome any
visitors at their meeting Thursday,
Feb. 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the SUB
to voice their opinions on these
matters.
