CONFUSIN' BUT AMUSIN'
Annual Greenwich Party
Carries on Festive Tradition
By JEAN RUSS and MARY ANN HARRIS
AS WE BRUSH the cobwebs from our hair and still our trembling
fingers we recall an evening as one of distraction, abstraction, and
reaction.
We are the survivors-of the Alpha Rho Chi "Greenwich Party."
Just another costume party we thought (ha!) But as we
passed into the "Histerical Novel" room, tripped lightly through
fairyland, lurched into the "Den of Gore" and were spirited
through "Surrealist Nightmare" to drift happily but warily into
the "Love Nest," our skepticism vanished. Those zany rumors
about the architects' parties were true.
The theme of the party when it was begun as an annual affair by the
fraternity founders in the roaring,20's was "Greenwich Village," hence
the name. Over the years themes far from the original have been
presented. "Storybook Land" was this year's contribution-but what a
story!
A BEAST in the forest is worth two on the throne," so saith Ruben
Hood" to his "bonyest lass, Mirium" in "Nothinghem Forest." We
were confused by these strange words which greeted us on the scroll
inside the entrance hall of the fraternity house, but that was only the
beginning.
Next came the "Histerical Novel" room. The castle moat offered
unusual possibilities as did the other decorations. But still undaunted
we crept in to enjoy ourselves as evidently others had before us. There
was still one happy pair stuck in the chimney flue, remnants of last
year's festivities. Costumes, supposedly of storybook characters, en-
liven the scene-what's better than a leotard for the Robin Hood Look.
Still undaunted, we ventured further. On our journey
through fairyland we met "Little Red Ridinghood" and the zoot-
suited Wolf, winners of the costume prize. We had to meet Dick
Zimmer's mythical relative Uncle Louis so we took a deep breath
and descended to the "Den of Gore." While brushing a tarantula
from one shoulder, we finally found Uncle Louis, neatly knifed in
the back. Then we left in haste in search of our guides who had
been lost due to the very indirect lighting.
At last, after tripping over some piles of old bones, we found the
guides in the "Surrealist Nightmare" with a few of the famous archi-
tects attending the party, including Black, Dichey, Harley, and Cowin.
These men are the designers of the Business Administration Building,
the new women's dormitory, and the General Service Building. If you
have wondered at any time about the inspiration for Univ'ersity build-
ing plans you need go no further. An eyeball, a torso in space re-
volving about a piano, and mysterious hands from nowhere are the
describable items of this indescribable atmosphere.
AS THE PARTY proceeded, social chairman Bill Loew made the
statement that this was the first time in fifteen years that no one
had been strangled in the decorations. He spoke too soon however,
Lydia Meechum, in her blue formal, letter sweater, and GI shoes,
wandered in with a very sore throat. As the band played the appro-
priate Kentonesque music she slowly withered to the floor.
With regret we said our adieus,
We are still not a little confused!

Nation Celebrates
The conventions which surround
our present day Mother's Day can
be traced back to the ancient
Greek tradition.
The Greek festival washderived
from the custom of mother-wor-
ship of Rhea, wife of Zeus and
goddess of fertility. This festival
was celebrated during the Ides of
March. With the advent of Chris-
tianity this worship evolved into a
festival honoring the Mother
Church, which was celebrated on
a Sunday in the midst of Lent.

34th Mothers' Day
Mother's Day in this country is
celebrated nationally due to the
efforts of Miss Anna Jarvis. Miss
Jarvis felt that it was proper that
one day of the year should be set
aside to honor mothers. Thus she
set out upon her crusade.
On May 9, 1914, following the
adoption of a resolution by Con-
gress President Wilson issued a
proclamation declaring the sec-
ond Sunday in May.
