to act, having taken part in the
Stroller production "Seventeen," given
in the spring of 1924.

Captains Are Assigned
By Their Commanding Officers
Miss Maria McElroy, a junior in
the college of Arts and Sciences, and
a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma
fraternity was chosen Colonel Sponsor for the entire R. O. T. C. regiment at a meeting of the advanced
rnnrsn mnn AVn.ln,.,!.,,,
The usual method of electing
s
for the different elements of the
regiment was departed from this
year in that sponsors were elected
only for the remainder of this year.
This will enable the cadet officers
of next year to select their sponsors
to serve during the entire year and
will obviate the serving together
of officers and sponsors who received
their commissions at different times.
In the future, the advanced course,
being most actively concerned, will
elect all sponsors. So far as is possible, the desires of the individual
officers,
concerning
the choice of
sponsors for the respective units under their command, will be respected
by their brother officers.
The batallion majors are: First
Batallion, Mae Murray Harbison;
Second Batallion, Marie Langford;
Third Batallion, Norma Carter.
Captain sponsors who are to be
assigned to companies with the commanders who selected them, at the
discretion of the Military department,
are: Marjorie Blackburn, Deedy Price,
Dorothy Chapman, Alice Thompson,
Evelyn Wright, Mabel C. Graham,
Elizabeth Regenstein, Lucille Stillwell, Lucille Bywater, Marie Pfeif-fe- r.
These sponsors are to assume
office with the publication of this notice and they will be expected to cooperate actively with the officers of
the unit in advancing the interests
of the Military department in the

THETA SIGMA
FOUNDED IN !

PHf

909

Purpose is to Recognize
the Superior Women
Journalists
Theta Sigma Phi, woman's honorary
journalistic fraternity, was organized
at the University of Washington on
April 8, 1909, to recognize ability
among women students specializing
in Journalism.
There are twenty-fiv- e
chapters in the national organization and the badge is a gold linotype matrix, displaying a torch and
the Greek letters for Theta Sigma

Phi.
Chi cchapter wnB established at the
University of Kentucky in 1920 and
pledges new members from the Junior

class annually, recognizing also the
outstanding journalist girl of the
Sophomore class, who is initiated after she has made her junior standing.
The national organization will hold
its annual convention
in Seattle,
Wash., in April and each of the active chapters will be represented by
a delegate who will take part in the
legislation of the governing body for
the coming year.
"The Matrix," a quarterly magazine, is edited by Theta Sigma Phi
and the contributors are members of
the active and alumnae chapters ami
the regular magazine staff. The subscribers are women students in journalism, women in the profession and
many newsmen and non professionals.
The great interest of the order is
the maintenance of the Theta Sigma
Phi Register, the service of which is
open as an employment
agency to
any woman in journalism, whether a
momber of the urganUntion or not.
