SCHOLARSHIP ISON THE ADVANCE

Practically All Chapters Gain;Anthemios Loses Lead To

DemetriO's Brothers.

Practically all the chapters show anin1provelnent in their scholarship rec­ords this year over last year, withDen1etrios in the lead. A wide diversityin the systenls of rnarking at the differ­ent schools make it somewhat difficultto compare the various standings withcOlnplete accuracy.

.Denletrios with 294 points out of aperfect 400 seems to stand head andshoulders above the others, and rankedfourth among all fraternities on thecampus. This is a marked improvementover last year,when they stood 14th,with a score of 201. Polyklitos seemsto come next, with a score of 381.53 inthe eighth place, where first place \vas432.26.

Among fraternities and sororities, An­dronicus was placed 20th, and am,ongfraternities only they rated ninth, with I

a grade of 71.4. Paeonios showed con­siderable advance over last year's rat­ing of 21st among 22 social and pro­fessional fraternities by cOIning up to14th among 24. Their grade, ho'wever,\vas only 76.67 to last year's 76.89.

Iktinos Rates C PlusIktinos, \vhich last year had a grade

of 73.3 and stood 17th an10ng 21. pro­fessional fraternities, now is creditedvvith 74.0, but stands only 18th, andrates not quite C plus.

'rhe jinx seems to have removed parto:f hin1self from the :NInesicles camp, andthey scored 1.026 honor points asagainst .82 last year, where C rates onehonor point and B t.\vo. They no~" rank31st among 53 fraternities and 19thamong 21 professionals, which is never­theless a gratifying improvement-look­ing at the grade.

Anthemlos registers quite ·a c6me­dovvn from its forn1er distinction, drop­ping frOll1. 3.229 to 3.031, from the ap­proximate numerical equivalent of 81.8to 81.0, from 4th place among the pro­fessional fraternities to 9th and amongnational professional and social frater­ni ties from 8th place to 48th.

No statistics on scholarship were re-ceived from the Universities of Texasor Virginia at press time.

TE:NTH CONVENTIONMEE'TS WITH IKTINOS

Splendid Reports For Past YearAre Anticipated. Delegates

Are Sent Credentials.

Alpha Rho Chi approaches the 'renthAnnual Convention, which is to be heldat .Ann Arbor, January 2nd and 3rd,1925, with lTIuch anticipation.

The' year closed has seen a great dealof constructive work done by membersof the Grand CounciL Most of thechapters are better than a year ago,scholarship has been improved on thewhole and fraternity business is in bet­ter shape.

Recently the W. G. A. sent to all chap­ters blank delegate credentials whichlTIUSt be filled out, signed and sealed.Chapter officers are cautioned to becareful about this lTIatter.

A Subject to DebateI)own at ~A.nn Arbor the Iktinos

brothers are busily making final prepar­ations fot the entertainn1ent of the dele­gates. Quarters ,vill be at the JVIichiganUnion, where the convention will alsoconvene at 10 :30 the lTIorning of thesecond.

Arnong the lTIatters which it is under­stood will also come before the tenthconvention is the question of whetheror 110t a brother should loan his badgeto "her." This question is bound to behotly debated. ~Another proposal is thatTHE _A.RCHI editor should always at­tend for, clailTI the proponents of the \idea, he is in the best position to re­port to the fraternity as a whole theresults of the convention.

i\s was reported last lnonth, the mat­ter of the future conventions, whetherto continue rotating as now, or whethera central place is desired will come· upfor discussion. The tern1 of the present'''l. G. S., Harold R. Peterson, Mnesic:les,expires with this convention.

SEASON'S GREETINGBrothers in Alpha Rho Chi, again we

approach the hOlliday season, 'the '. timeis conventional to wish one another aIV[erry Christmas and a Happy and Suc­cessful New Year. But to men of ~Alpha

Rho Chi there is a finer, better SOllle­thing than the nlere convention. Thereis back of it the feeling of brotherhoOipwhich carries us back to the teachingsof Christ of Bethlehem.

ABOUT THIS ISSUElviany of the subscribers will be sur­

prised to find but four pages this month.We started the year with a program toaverage eight pages per issue. l/astmonth we published twelve, so it mustbe four this tinle to. keep the average.Ho,;yever, if the active chapters andalumni as a whole had qeen morepronlpt in their subscription responsethis past lnonth we would have pub­lished eight pages regardless. Remem­ber, we are trying to be economical.

Ultilnately the life subscription planwill sustain the publication entirely, butat the present time it is the men whohave not subs~ribed for life who holdthe key to the current year and next.Unless you give your support we willhave to curtail our budget for the cur­L~nt year, for we will NOT sacrifice thefutur~ fo~ the - present. There is not asingle man who can not at least pay onthe partial plans offered or at least forone year.

SUBSCRIPTIONSLife subscription, Plan No.1, Full

payment of $10 to W. G. E~

Plan No.2, Partial paylnent of $5.00no\v, balan ce in 30 days to 'The ArchiBoard,

Plan No.3, Partial payment of $2.00novV', balance' in 60 days to The ArchiBoard.

A.nnual subscription $2.00, payable toThe i\rchi Board. But why stop withan annual subscription ,vhen another$8.00 pays for life? The plan is eco­nOlnical, saves your time and ours andcuts prom'otion expenses down.

November 22 was the date of one oifthe best house dances we have had inthe last fe"v years. 1V1usi~ \\ras furnishedby La Vernway's nin.e-piece jazz band,and ,it was followed by. all the able­bodied A P X men between Columbusand Champaign. The party was swungas an entertainment for visiting Deme­trios men. Brother Fraser must begiven great credit for his handling ofthe affair and the design of the uniqueprogralns.

Another cup was added to the' col­lection on the old mantel last weekwhen Pledge Bro. "Bill" Carter wonsecond place in the annual inter-muralgolf tournament." His playing in all the111atches was splendid,. and in the finalmatch he was more or less outluckedbecause the course vvas frozen so thatneither man had much control of theball.
