Chivalry Lives; Phi Delts Heroes for Return of Kite
Members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority were lamenting the loss of their fraternal emblem, a kite, to their somewhat over-friendly neighbors in the Beta Theta Pi house.
Chivalry is not dead, though quite admittedly it has seen better days.
Monday night the kite had blazed forth from a prominent window in the Beta house, decorated with lights of a becoming red.
A band of chivalrous rogues intent on seeing justice done spirited the kite from the Beta house during the early morning hours under cover of dense fog.
Tuesday, the Betas were served with a summons from Fhi Delta Theta fraternity, offering the return
of the kite if the Betas would claim it on hands and knees on the Theta lawn, humbly wearing the Beta pink and blue.
That night the Phi Delts and Thetas gathered on the sorority lawn to await the reply of the beaten Betas.
To the sound of a trumpet and a stirring drum roll the Beta delegation, dressed in ceremonial blankets, marched onto the battle field. Gentlemanly Phil Deltas removed their hats in recognition of the solemnity of the occasion.
Beta President Stephen Hill delivered an oration denouncing the tactics employed in obtaining the kite. In token of submission, however, the Betas presented the Phi
Delts with a used and slightly worn trophy.
Again accompanied by trumpet and drum, the Betas left the field.
Phi Delt George T. (Tim) Theis read the terms of the original summons and noted that they had not been complied with. In accordance with the terms, the Phi Delts presented the Thetas with their kite.
The Betas were awarded the red light bulbs so ill used the previous night.
With the kite once more in the hands of its rightful owners, the Betas publicly charged and the Phi Delts formally denounced, the ceremonial field was quitted by all.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A historic era at the White House ends today. Sir Winston Churchill leaves.
Historic Era Is Ending As Winnie Leaves U.S.
No one associated closely with the 84-year-old former British prime minister these last few days expected him to return. And from President Eisenhower down to the cooks and butlers, there was genuine sadness over his leaving.
Program Ready For Executives
The fifth annual Executive Development Program will be held here June 7 to July 3.
Dean James R. Surface of the School of Business said the program, limited to 24 business and industrial executives, is a back-to-school program where the executive may improve his thought processes and analytical skills.
The case method will be used in considering policy formation, administrative production, industrial relations, administration of marketing, financial administration, cost and accounting control, human relations, economic, political and social trends, and industrial communications.
Jack D. Steele, associate professor of business administration, is director of the program, and L. Martin Jones, assistant professor of business, is assistant director.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Rep. Victor L. Anfuso (D-NY) today introduced legislation to admit Puerto Rico as the 51st state of the Union.
Puerto Rico To Be 51st?
Antuso said in a prepared statement that Puerto Rico is of vital strategic importance to the United States and the entire Western hemisphere. He said the Caribbean island's admission is "justified by its economic growth, adequacy of population, financial stability and increasing trade with the United States."
He said that granting statehood to Puerto Rico "would remove any doubt as to its status and would accord it equal status and enjoyment of all rights of American citizenship."

Sir Winston has been the president's house guest since Monday. Today he moves to the British Embassy for one night before traveling home to his beloved Great Britain with a brief stopover in New York.
Because of advancing years and nagging ailments of the aged, the once gloriously eloquent voice of Mr. Churchill is seldom heard these days.
But in the soft golden light of the stately White House dining room last night and before a distinguished company of American leaders, the oratorical splendor that rallied the free world during World War II flashed again.
"To come across the Atlantic and to see so many friends and so many elements in the union of our peoples has been a great and memorable joy to me." the old British battier rumbled.
"Here at this table," he said as he looked around the room, "sit those whose decisions can perhaps influence the destiny of mankind more deeply than any other group of men you could find.
"I am sure," he said, "that it is in a close and increasing fellowship with you, our American friends and brothers, that our brilliant future rests."
