Alpha Omicron Pi
sorority recolonized
By PATRICIA HUNGERFORD
Collegian Staff Writer
After nine years away from the Uni
versity, Alpha Omicron Pi sorority is
back on campus and as strong as it has
ever been.
The sorority initiated 53 members on
Saturday after having been a colony for a
year.
The sorority was disbanded nine years
ago "because in the '6os and early '7os
everybody was against the establish
ment and wanted to do their own thing
and didn't want to go to the sororities or
fraternities," said Edith Huntington An
derson of Bloomington, Ind., formerly of
State College.
During the nine years Alpha Omicron
Pi was absent from the University, An
derson continually campaigned for the
sorority's recolonization.
The University chapter was named
Epsilon Alpha in her honor in 1929 when
the sorority was first installed on cam
pus.
From 1929 to 1963 she was either the
chapter adviser or on the advisory com
mittee, she said.
Lisa Lundy, president of the sorority
during its colonization and now the
pledge trainer, is a State College resident
and a legacy (a relation of an alumna of
the sorority).
"Our national decided they would rath
er .have our group leave campus than
struggle along and lose its reputation.
They would rather come back with a
fresh start," Lundy said.
"I think it worked out for the best," she

said, even though it was hard on the
women in the sorority at the time it was
disbanded.
"I never thought of joining a sorority. I
never went through rush. But they (the
alumnae) made me want to join," Lundy
said.
The alumnae contacted her two years
ago about reactivating the sorority.
The sorority was rejected for coloniza
tion by the Panhellenic Council Fall
Term 1980 but was accepted last spring.
Although Jean Lundy, an alumna of the
sorority, was very supportive of her
daughter's efforts in recolonizing the
sorority, it was Lisa's brother, Jim, a
University student and a member of
Sigma Chi fraternity, who kept her spir
its up after the disappointing result of the
first attempt to recolonize, she said.
After the sorority was accepted as a
colony he told Lisa's roommate he had a
vision when he was a freshman at the
University that his sister would come
back and start the sorority. It was a
dream come true, she said.
'Lisa Stultz, current president of the
sorority, said the sorority has enhanced
her life.
"I can't remember not being an A 0
Pi," she said after initiation.
She ran for president of the sorority
because she felt it 'vas the "best way I
could pay back everyone for all• that I've
gotten from A 0 Pi," she said.
"I'm looking forward to becoming an
alumna," she said, "I'll be able to look up
other A 0 Pi's when I go to the big
cities."
LABASH 'B2 draws 600 from U.S.„ Canada
By ROB STEUTEVILLE
Collegian Staff Writer
They came from Michigan, Mississippi, Montreal
and every place in between. Students, professionals
and professors, about 600 in all, participated in
LABASH 'B2, the 13th annual Canadian-American,
student-run landscape architecture gathering that
took place here this weekend.
For people who think landscape architecture con
sists of planting bushes in people's front yards, the
diversity of the information presented in the
speeches, panels and workshops of LABASH 'B2 may .
be surprising.
Survival was the main theme of the convention, and
speeches covered aspects ranging from the densest
city park to wilderness homesteads.
William Whyte, a leading expert in urban design,
presented a warm and humorous documentary of
pedestrian life in New York City that he narrated.
The film showed the similarities in how people
communicate in, walk around and use public places.
Although Whyte admitted that many of the conclu
sions drawn in the film were obvious such as the
statement "People sit where there are places to sit"
he said "it is surprising how many places are
designed as if the opposite were true."
Many pictures of spiked ledges, slanted ledges and
benchless parks illustrated this statement.
Whyte then went on to show that a humanistic and
sympathetic approach to designing public places

results in the most comfort and enjoyment for the
public. For example, he suggested putting benches at
right angles, providing movable chairs, and letting
people "at least touch the water in fountains."
At the other end of the survival spectrum, Helen
Nearing spoke about homesteading in rural areas.
Nearing, 78, and her husband, Scott, 98, have been
pioneers in natural living for nearly 50 years. They
have written many popular books including "Living
the Good Life" and "How *to Live Sanely and Simply
in a Troubled World."
Nearing told stories and showed a film of their
living off the land a venture that began after Scott
Nearing was dismissed as a professor at University
of Pennsylvania for "radical" ideas in 1915. These
ideas consisted of being opposed to child labor, she
said.
She said that Scott's rationale for moving to the
country was that he would "rather be poor in the
country than poor in the city." They then moved to
Vermont to begin their life which has been inspiratio
nal to the modern back-to-nature movement.
She depicted a life of building their own buildings,
growing their own food, writing books, playing music
and showing "visitors by the thousands" how to live
"the good life."
Finishing up the convention, John Todd, an expert
in renewable energy resources and in biologically
based design, spoke about the survival of mankind in
general.

1520 near London.
When regardening a historical building, he said,
one tends to want to do it the way it was done
originally. However, turning to history for ideas is a
mistake.
Instead, Jellicoe turned to his own mind.
He said he designed each of the Sutton Place
gardens around a theme. For example, the Garden of
the Underworld is a mysterious place of flowing

stewardship of the land," he said.
In addition to the speeches, panel discussions by
landscape architects were aimed at solving problems
of design, but also considered issues of their profes
sion and the future directions of those issues.
Many of the panels discussed the role of landscape
architecture in dealing with environmental issues.
"We are at a point where our natural environment
is about to become unlivable," said Raymond Free
man of the American Society of Landscape Architec
ture. "It is landscape architecture's responsibility to
deal with the problems of growth and pollution."
However, the dicussions were not limited to envi
ronmental issues. Some of the other subjects included
Pennsylvania's ridge and valley province, creativity
and innovative thinking and self-awareness in the
design process.
Mark Meyer, a student from Guelph University in
Ontario, said it allowed him to "meet people, and to
gain a different perspective on landscape architec
ture," from the one.that he received at his school.
Alice Whitney, a junior from Michigan State Uni
versity, said that LABASH gave her a good opportu
nity to meet people in landscape architecture and
make connections with people that she would be
working with after graduation.
Sue Chambers (9th-landscape architecture) said
that she made good friends at LABASH. She added
that the program was important in "getting a handle
on what's happening" in the job market, and in
getting exposed to a variety of topics.
Magritte, contains elements of unexpected sizes,
such as five gigantic Roman vases and a tiny magno
lia tree, to confound the senses.
An organically-shaped lake echoes the shape of a
Henry Moore sculpture, both in the Biological Gar
den.
The Mathematical Garden is designed around a
modern white marble wall sculpture, done by con
temporary sculptor Ben Nicholson.
And in the 'deep, wild Childhood Garden, secrets
wait around every turn of the winding path, which
leads back in time to a moist, mossy womb, Jellicoe
said.
Jellicoe also put islands in the swimming pool at
Sutton Place, and designed the iron garden gates
after the simple-line style of Mondrian.
