Battin to your editor reads in part: "I find that I have very little to say, we lived together last sum- mer on Long Island and vve saw each other every day after moving into town last fall, in short we were very intimate, and in all that time nothing was said that in any way accounts for what has happened. ,It has been a great shock to me and all of his friends, the more so because no answer to the mystery sur- rounding the case. We friends do not accept the suicide theory." Bro. Battin advised that Bro. Mildner W2S expected to attend a dinner party at the Shelton Hotel, where they both lived, that evening, and his failure to appear caused comlnent. This coupled vlith the fact that he had been super- vising construction on a house in West- chester county leads one to believe that death overtook him accidentally while pacing on the track awaiting a train to the city, even though the police theory is not in accord \vith that of his friends and brothers.

Which Come To Our Attention.As was briefly chronicled in the March

Feeling the Iktinos brotherswould wish to· know more of the detailswe wired Edwin 1\11. Loye, Mnes. '20, whoresides in Mt. Vernon, N. Y., to secureall the inforlnation possible.

Brother Loye mailed us a transcript ofthe record of the M t.

The identification was made by means, of membership cards in the Michigan

Union, Detroit Yacht Club, auto licensecards and hotel keys. Foul playas amotive was discounted as there was overforty dollars in his clothes, and thepolice disn1issal of the case as suicideis given no credence by Iktinos BrothersHovvard H. Battin '21, and Kenneth C.Black '25.

Battin Had No HintA note from Bro. Battin to your editor

Our "Fathers' Day" was held the weekend of May 19th. Due to the rainyweather, only a few fathers came down.But the rain "came down."

The Architectural Society held its an­nual May Party on May 7. This partywas a costume ball, with elaborate deco'­rations and costumes designed to suitthe decoration scheme. This year'sparty depicted an "Elves Garden Revel."By the gross exaggeration in scale offlowers, mushrooms, and plants paintedon the walls of Barbour Gymnasium, thedancers appeared dwarfed in a hugefairy garden. As Timothy Hay, a cam­pus humorist put it, "The Architectstried to make themselves out big bymaking all the guests of their party seemsmall." Iktinos chapter was well repre~

sented on the committees in charge.Brother Harold Philpott '28, newly

elected W. A., was elected vice-presidentto the Michigan Union from the Col­leges of Engineering and Architecture,by a large maj ority.

This is the first major 'office tobe heldby a member of Iktinos chapter, or bya student in the College of Architecture.Brother Philpott attributes much of hissuccess to the work of Brother Karl H.Kuhn '27, his campaign manager andpolitical boss of Iktinos chapter for thelast three years. However the generalopinion of the chapter is that BrotherPhilpott w~n because of his popularityon the entire campus.

On Saturday night, May 7, the Pledgesthrew, for the Actives, the best dancethat has been held in the house thisyear. The "Hard Times" spirit prevailedin costume and revelry and, what, withBob Leece handing out free gin(gerale)over a good old-fashioned bar, the at­mosphere was complete.

The party was well chaperoned byMother Ulery and, listen in close onthis fellows, we caught her visiting thebar at intervals during the evening.

Officers for the coming year wereelected in the regular business meetingl\Iay 9. the follo'\ving men being chosenfor offices: Howard E. LeFevre willsucceed Carl Kuck as W. A., HaroldSummersett succeeds LeFevre as W. A.A., "Bill" Gould is W. C., Robert 11.HeichelW. S.; Kenner G. Snlith, W. E.;Jack Coady, Supt.; L. L. Stanley, SeniorMember of the Board of Directors, andDon Rice, House Manager.

The chapter has enjoyed a very suc­cessful and active year under the leader­ship of the old officers, and the businessof the Fraternity will be turned over tothe newly-elected o:fficers in ship-shapecondition. We feel that these efforts onthe part of the out-going nfficers and theability of the new men give a verypromising outlook on thp. ensuin2" year.

Theupper-class men were guests of the PhilVIu, while Alpha Rho Chi lower-classInen were hosts to the Phi M u lower­class women. After dinner all united inthe Phi Mu House, where dancing wasenjoyed. Everyone reported a success­ful get together. The party broke upby the calling of meeting by the leadersof the two organizations. This neigh­borly party is the ll1eans of further fel­lo\vship vvith the other organizations ofthe call1pus.

DINOCRATES-TEXASJ. Roy White, Correspondent

Our Founders' Day Banquet turnedout to be the proverbial "huge success,"

,3

even if we do say it ·ourselves. Facultyand alulTIni members and pledges wereentertained by the actives, and "a goodtime was haq. ,by all"-surprisingly."Papa" Carl was a wang as toastmaster.When ydu see ··him,~make him tell youthe ohe about,.Antony and Cleopatra.It's supposed to be ·ajoke. Most prom­inent among our speakers was Gutzon'Borglun1. \Ve were very fortunate cinhaving Mr. Borglum with us for-a shorlwhile, and in. hearing ,his very interest­ing and inspiring talk on the possibilitiesof art in Texas. He will in all proba­bility be at the head of the proposedDepartment of Sculpture at the lJniver~sity next year.

Everyone is looking forward withgreat expectations to the forthcomingspring term exams-and incidentally­SUUllner. Then's when we lose two ofour best men-Brothers Mills and Law.Yes, vve really hate to see 'em go. Wecan't imagine how in thunder we'll pre­serve law and order about the housenext year without Joe's helping hand.And Scottish Rite Dorm. and the Bap­tists vvill sink into oblivion when the"Doctor" leaves. Joe will be in the so­called "city" of Dallas next year, and\Vilton will probably be with his Dadin Beaumont. Best luck to them both.

We've been on the warpath for a shackof some sort to live in next year, but todate we haven't located anything. We'remaking plans to furnish the thjng, if weever get it.

We had a kot baseball series betweenthe actives and the pledges some ago;Three games were played, all of whichwere won by the actives, notwithstand­ing the decisions of the umpire, Bro.White, and the stellar pitching of Bros.Nagle, Jessen, and Abbot.

And speaking of pledges-we put threenew fellows thru the new pledging cere~

mony recently. We think it's a finething.

Brother Nagle, after mu<;h politicingand blah, was gloriously elected vice­president of the Student Association inthe recent spring-term elections on theCall1pus. "Such popularity must be de-­served."

And in our own happy home-Bro.Olson has been re-elected W. A.; White,W. A. A.; Han1n1ond, W. C.; Kriegle,W. E.; Mebane, W. -S.; -and Abbot, W.Supt.
