DeVotie was the chief member of the eight who met in a mansion along the banks of the Black Warrior River near the edlge of the Tuscaloosa campus, to unfold a conception of a new fra ternity. They wanted a bond which would hold thenm together for all times. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, was made the patron of the fra ternity. One of the chief provisions of the first constitution required each member to choose a subject on which he would write an essay to be read at the chapter meeting. This was to show that each man was holding sternly to his literary woi.k. re Ce] tax Week igma Alpha Epsilon will cele ght at a formal dance to be [room from 9 p. m. to 1 a. m. a week of social events.

The Colum bi cast succeeded in building an atmosphere of tension so as to frequently cause the audience to gasp for breath. The play which opened Feb ruary 29, has been- said to be the Town Theatre's best production. A true murder mystery, the play first appeared in London where it enjoyed a two-year run. The play is unique in that the audience knows from the begin ning who the murderer is. The majority of the story is taken up with the police's solving of the murder. Gray Olive, radio personality, practically steals the show in his portrayal of the role as inspector. His English accent is near perfect.
