A Native Dance Looking out my bathroom window I perceive a native dance Yellow, brown, and reddish clusters Swirling in the storm's advance Clouds above look down in menace Threatening to unleash a burst At last it comes the steady rainfall Replenishing the call of thirst Winter's edge is creeping closer Pushing out the sweetest com Naked treetops slightly tremble In the wake of icy thorns Now the rhythm of the water Cancels every fairy feat Leaves are forced to crumbled stillness By the drummer's steady beat By Michael W.

F'ratemity leaders at The Pennsylvania State University, home of the Nation’s largest fraternity system, report that fraternities here have fully recovered in the mid-1970’s from a steady membership decline that had followed the all-time peak year of 1966. “Ilfs been three consecutive years that we’ve increased memberships,” says David Stewart, fraternity adviser. “This follows a year-by-year drop in interest evidenced during the late ’6o’s and early 70’s, with the most significant decline coming in 1973.” ' There are 2,071 fraternity men at Penn State. They constitute about 13 percent of the available undergraduate pool, Stewart figures. A decade ago, when membership peaked, approximately 1,000 more were fraternity members. “Fraternities have regained the acceptance of most students here. I don’t think this’ll go away," says the senior management major. “We have reversed the downward trend because fraternities have a dapted to student needs.

YOUR FUEL SAVINGS, MULTIPLIED BY ALL THE HOMES, COULD HELP ALL OF US GET THROUGH THIS WINTER HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING Thank You, Norman Gautreau Manager now offer a total living experience (Penn State’s frater nity houses are among the most beautiful chapters in the country); fraternities are not just clubs. We stress academ ics, service, leadership oppor tunities and athletics, among other things. Last year Penn State fraternities raised $60,000 for numerous charities.” McKown notes that fratern ities here are embarking on a program that will, he hopes, prevent another extended mem bership drop due to students claiming, sometimes with good cause, McKown admits, that fraternities don’t meet “rele vant’ needs. Many students during the years fraternities suffered membership losses emphasized “doing our own thing,” casting aside tradi tional, structured institutions like fraternities. “Perhaps most men flock to fraternities for the social life, 1 don’t know. But in the future we’ll have to offer them a lot more than beer to keep them with us. I think we’re already realizing that” Penn State has 49 fraternity chapters, one more than last year.

Hie frat failed to punch the ball in on four chances, mostly because ol some great defensive plays by Easy’s players. Hie final outcome of the game was Easy Inn- 16 and XGI- 14. Hie Sixty-Niner game was close through the first half until the XGI defense took command lead by Bob Leader's great interception and run back for a touchdown. Hie final score of the game was 22 to 0. On the subject of bowling, the two XGI teams are rolling along in the thick of things with the hope of getting both the teams into the playoffs in a few weeks. Both teams are sporting winning records and need the support of all frat members. On a final note I want to remind all bat members to sell as many raffle tickets as possible because the proceeds go to the Spring Picnic held in May.
