Phi, national honorary fraternity
for women in journalism.
The list includes Phyllis Bett-
mann, Marilyn Campbell, June
Granstrom, Harlean Hankin, Alice
Kepler, Margaret Marria, Gene-
vieve Maxwell and Katherine
Zeisler.
The fraternity was established
to further the interests of women
in journalism and to set up stand-
ards in the profession.
The first chapter was started
in 1909, at the University of Wash-
ington. Today the organization
consists of 52 student chapters
and 27 alumnae chapters.
The University chapter spon-
sors an annual banquet for wo-
men in the community interested
in journalism and for other stu-
dents in journalism.
heats, due to the large number
of cars entered. All racers will
be competing for trophies and
prizes offered by the central
committee.
A trophy will be awarded to
the car breaking the tape at the
finish line in the fastest time.
A starting ramp will be used to
ensure that the cars get off to a
good start.
Elmer Swanson will serve as
starter for the event.
Awards will also be given to the
best racer, which will be judged
on the basis of workmanship, or-
iginality and make of the car.
* * *
AS ONLY men are eligible to
serve as drivers for the race, wo-
men sponsors of the cars are plan-
ning on turning out to cheer them
on.
Women in many of the spon-
soring groups are creating cos-
tumes for the drivers, with the
best-dressed driver being award-
ed a prize by the central com-
mittee.
Judging the cars and their driv-
ers will be Nancy Fitch, president
of the WAA, Bill Jentes, president
of the Union, and Axel Marin, Ar-
thur Boak and Herbert Wagner
of the engine school.
Dick Pinkerton. announcer for
the race, will interview drivers, in
a pre-race session.
Members of Alpha Phi Omega,
service fraternity, will be on hand
to sell "Cokes" to thirsty spec-
tators.
In the event unfavorable weath-
er conditions cause postponement
of the race today, the derby will
be held tomorrow.
Heading the committee which
made the plans for the event are
Elizabeth Maire and Fritz Glover,
co-chairmen of special events.
