This yearmarking the centennial class of Cornell,many celebrations are in storeon campus. New York Alpha's ownsocial program has also begun inearnest commencing with the postgamecocktail party, banquet, androck party following the footballgame with Buffalo, September 26.One aspect of our social schedulewhich also aids tremendously in ourrushing program is the FreshmanTea. By inviting the top girls of thefreshman class to * A 9's own brandof "tea" we have found that futurerushees quickly learn of * A 9's socialprominence on campus throughthese girls. This is perhaps one ofthe most relaxed and enjoyable facetsof rushing we know. Sportswise ourrepresentation of lettermen is possiblyone of the most varied of anychapter on the hill with: Bob Porea,basketball; Eric Loberg, crew; ReuelDorman, rifle team; Dave Rutherford,wrestling; Kerry Heubeck, polo;and our new pledge Don Dean, soccer.On the intramural side, the Phifootball team looks tops, and canwell be counted on to hold up thefine record of previous years. Scholastically,New York Alpha has risenin rank and grade average comparedwith all other fraternities on campusover last year. With our recently innovatedscholarship program, encouragingstudies even more than before,we hope to continue this improvementin even greater strides.
