THE SCROLL 517for, A special coach has been provided for baseball and the team under thecaptaincy of Brother Hawk is getting a good start upon what promisesto be a most successful season. Besides Brother Hawk the chapter is representedby Brothers Rose and Doug Dunbar. In track the chapter willbe represented by Brothers Wells, Hofelt, Metcalf and Zelwiss, A number ofdual meets have been arranged for this year. In a recent indoor meet thecollege records for the pole vault and running high jump were broken byBrother Wells, who gives promise of- being a strong point winner in the intercollegiatemeets of this year. Tennis, with Brother Howard Brownell asmanager, has received a fresh impetus this year and indications point to amost successful season. It is more than probable that the chapter will berepresented by at least two men on the varsity teams.The period of elections and of transitions from the old to the new isleaving Pennsylvania Delta with a generous share of the college honors forthe coming year. Brother MacGowan has been elected president of theY. M. C. A. for the ensuing term and Brother Bright is a member of thecabinet. The new Literary Monthly board finds Brother MacGowan anassociate editor and Brother Doug Dunbar the manager. In the tryoutsfor the annual production of Duzer-Du the chapter was very well representedand it is more than probable that when the cast is announced the names ofseveral Phis will be among the successful candidates.Undoubtedly one of the most Important events of the past two monthshas been the granting to Allegheny of a chapter of A 2 P, the nationaldebating fraternity. The charter was granted during the national conventionof the fraternity held at Ohio State University in April, It is hardly safeto venture a statement as to what the granting of this chapter to Alleghenywill mean for oratory and debate In the next few years. It will undoubtedlyact as a great stimulus and will do much toward bringing Allegheny intoher proper place in these activities. Brothers MacGowan, McLean and Wielerwill be charter members of the chapter.But that which is looming up as the most important event of the yearfor the active chapter is the rapid approach of commencement and with it allthe pleasant affairs of that week. And this year those affairs promise to exceedanything that the college and the chapter has yet enjoyed. In the first placethe old worn-out class day exercises have been dispensed with and this yearthe senior class will present in its place a historical pageant representing thefounding and growth of the college. As usual the chapter has secured the lastday of examinations for the annual spring party and is making plans for themost successful party ever given. Not satisfied with this one evening of pleasurethe chapter is planning to hold a house party beginning the night of thespring party and continuing until the following Monday evening. If faculty approvalis secured this will probably become as much a part of PennsylvaniaDelta tradition as the spring party and judging from all present indicationsthere Is every likelihood of the tradition having its inception this year. Plansare also being made to have as many of the alumni as possible here for theannual alumni banquet. The house and premises are being placed in the bestpossible condition and it is hoped that as many of the alumni as can possiblyarrange to do so will be here to enjoy the hospitality which the chapteris more than anxious to extend at that time,Meadville, Pa., April 27, 1913.HARRY J.
