Alpha Tau Omega Founded By Ex-Confederates In Virginia
This is one of a series of U.D.K. articles on organized houses.
The Civil war was ended, the South was in ruins, and the country was split by sectional hate. At Virginia Military academy three ex-Confederate soldiers saw this situation and decided to do something about it.
They believed that an association of young college men from all over the land would help to reunite the country, and so Alpha Tau Omega fraternity was founded.
Since that time the ideal of the 'ounders has spread until today Alpha Tau Omega has 115 chapters. The KU chapter was founded in 1901 and is celebrating its golden anniversary this fall in Kansas City.
The ATO house, located at 1537 Tennessee, was built in 1941 and follows the Princeton plan of architecture. It is arranged in suites of three rooms instead of study rooms and dormitories.
Among the prominent alumni of the Kansas chapter are Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star and George Hood, professor emeritus of the School of Engineering. Nationally ATO is represented by Dr. Vannevar Bush, General Holland Smith, Senators Eastland, Holland, and Maybank.
For a perfect charm rating, take a soapy bath or shower daily; be sure clothing is neat and clean; keep hair groomed carefully as well as nails and make-up.

Headliners Of Yesteryear Fade From Public Scene
Chicago—(U.P.)—A look today at some of the "big names" that captured public notice in recent decades is proof enough that fame—and notoriety—are transient.
The names still sound familiar but you don't hear them often any more.
Even many who made banner headlines a few years ago have slid back into relative obscurity.
Few persons, for example, have created more U.S. public controversy than did a Tennessee school teacher John T. Scope when he was tried and found guilty on July 21, 1925, of

teaching evolution. Scopes' counsel was the famed criminal lawyer Clarence Darrow. The prosecuting attorney was William Jennings Bryan.
Scopes, who was fined $100 and freed, later studied geology at the University of Chicago and lives quietly today with his family in Shreveport, La., working as a geologist for the United Gas Co. He doesn't like to talk about the trial.
Clarence D. Chamberlin, who received a hero's tape welcome on his return in 1927 from setting a long-distance non-stop flying record between New York and Germany, in 1932, lives on a farm in Shelton, Conn., where he is an automobile distributor.
Whittaker Chambers, former Time magazine editor who made headlines when he admitted acting as a prewar Communist spy courier and later was key government witness against Alger Hiss, also lives on a farm now, near Westminster, Md.

He later became a World War II hero, a professional football player for the Los Angeles Rams and now is west coast voice director for the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Eden Ahbez, mystic follower of the Yoga cult who burst on the public scene by writing the popular song "Nature Boy" in 1948, apparently still does what comes naturally—lives in the back yard of his California home, wearing flowing robes and sandals, subsisting on nuts, fruits and raw vegetables.
