BY JAMES MICHEN New Noi By STAFF WRITER HAWAII. James A. Miohener's longest and most ambitious novel, will be publisihed in the year that Hawaii becomes the 50th state in the Union. Scheduled for release in the fall of 1959, the novel is already heralded by the .publisher (Random House) as a front-rankitfg candidate for the year's top literary honors. In addition to the expected critical accolades, unprecedented best-sellerdom is predicted for HAWAII, in which, it is re ported, Mr. Michener's gifts as a story-teller have never been more .brilliantly displayed. 'lhe new Michener novel begins with a fictional reconstruction of the legendary discovery of the Is lands, more than a thousand years ago, and ends in modern times. Michener is now living in the home he maintains in Hawaii, where much of the book was writ ten. He has long been a devoted student of Hawaiian history, and as a part-time resident, parbic ipates actively in current Island affairs.

Up until this period, the TA's were known as ???, the hree question marks standing for he name not yet chosen. A mot L was selected, the name became fficial, the patron goddess 'hemis was chosen, and the raceful shield shaped pin which ras made in the large size be ame the badge of Zeta Tau Lpha. Through the influence and nergetic good services of Grace 'lcan df Buckingham County, he Honorable Frank C. Moon 'iloted a bill through a special ession of the legislature which, n March 15, 1902, made Zeta 'au Alpha the first women's raternity to be chartered in the tate of Virginia, and the only ne ever chartered by a special et of the legislature. ZETA TAU AlPHA became member of the National Pan ellenic Council in February, 909, the first of the Farmville 'our to make this step. In 1929, the Zeta Tau Alpha ational sorority came to the Jniversity of S. C. The Zeta 'si Club at the University peti ioned the national sorority for charter and became Beta Omi ron chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha. ince then, the white violet and urquoise blue and steel gray Dlors have become a vital part f the University of South Caro na. * * * SICMA ALPHA EPSILON Sigma Alpha Epsilon was stablished at the University of labama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, farch 9, 1856, by eight close riends, all natives of Alabama. 'he leader was Noble Leslie De 'otie, recognized as the principal aunder. The other founders were John Rudulph, who designed the adge which was adopted at the irst meeting of the fraternity, ohn W. Kerr, Nathan E. Cock elI, Wade Foster, Abner Pat mn, Samuel Dennis and Thomas Cook. At the time of the founding lelta Kappa Epsilon and Phi amma Delta were the only aternities at the University. SIGMA ALPHA Epsilon was >rn, grew and thrived, and five Eaflrs passed.

CLEAN .C Wise.L SLWdanlfu ONE DAY In By 1O SUR cs:.. lAUND aa. ma a- rage wve roulps THE FRATERNITY owes to the work of James G. Glass, Tennessee Omega the South Car olina Delta chapter at the Uni versity of South Carolina. He went to Columbia in Feb ruary and interviewed President Miles of S. C. College, concern ing the conditions under which a chapter of SAE migtht be estab lished there. President Miles believed in fraternities and in their bene ficial influence in the college where they situated, and that they also tended to draw into the colleges of the country. The first two members of the chapter were William St. C. Symmers and Philo H. Burney. These were initiated on the night of February 28, 1882. SIGMA CHI Sigma Chi's long and colorful existence originated on June 28, 1855, at Miami University in Ox ford, Ohio. The fraternity was founded on that date by seven men, all undergraduates at Miami, and was the 19th col'ege fraternity to be established. On the night of September 17, 1864, during the heated Atlanta campaign of the Civil War the Sigma Chi Constantine Chapter, the most unique fraternal group ever founded, was organized by seven Sigs who were serving in the Confederate Army of Ten nessee. It was assumed that all chap ters throughout the South would cease to exist and this chapter was founded to foster the con tinuance of the Fraternity. in the South, whatever the outcome of the War might be. On May 6, 1939, in memory of the Constantine Chapter, a monument was erected south of Atlanta near Jonesboro. The fraternity adopted a cen tralized form of government in 1882, and carried out a revision of the general constitution. Chi Chapter at Hanover College be came the first chapter in the Fraternity to move into its own home, in 1890. THE WELL-KNOWN song, "The Sweetiheart of Sigma Chi," was composed by F. Dudleigh Vernor and Byron D. Stokes as undergraduates at Alpha Pi Chapter at Albion College in 1911. The Sigma Chi Foundation, an educational and charitable cor poration designed to develop em phasis on chapter scholastic ac complishment, was incorporated in 1939. In 1950, Sigma Chi purchased a magnificient estate on the shores of Lake Michigan in morial Headquarters. The same year, Life magazine called Sigma Chi " . . . the most solid of all" Greek letter frater nities in an l1-page spread on college fratern.ity life, all de voted to Sigma Chi. The university recognized nick name for Sigima Chii is SIG, al ways written without quotation marks. It is entitled to this nick name because it is the oldest truly national fraternity of the Sigma group. Among the many outstanding Sigma Chi's throughout the world are Milton Can'Iff, car toonist; L. G. Balfour, founder and president of the world's largest jewelry anid fnaternity insignia manufacturing com pany; Root,h Tarkington, novel ist, twice w,inner of Pulitzer Prize; Jiohn Wayne, motion pic ture star; and Don Wilson, America's top radio announcer. -. 0nma,zd&..
