LETTER PAPER

By JANET SMITH
Stressing the obligations which
must be accepted by fraternity and
sorority men and women, Lloyd
S. Cochran, chairman of the Na-
tional Interfraternity Council will
be guest speaker at 6:15 p.m. to-
night, when delegates to the Pan-
hellenic - Interfraternity Council
convention attend the annual con-
vention banquet.
A graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania in the class of 1923,
Cochran has been described by
public relations chairman John
Calvin, as a "dynamic public
speaker."
S * * *
ACTIVE in fraternity work since
his undergraduate days, Cochran
tries, in his speeches, to bring out
the fact that fraternities and so-
rorities are important not only to
themselves, but to the University
and community as a whole.
Attempting to look at the sit-
uation from the viewpoint of the
independent students, as well
as through the eyes of an affili-
ated man, he reminds his audi-
ences that they have a direct
responsibility to take an active
part in campus activities.
Cochran also stresses the fact
that the Greek societies should
work in close cooperation with the
independent students for the mu-
tual benefit of all concerned.
* * *
VERY PROMINENT in the field
of public relations for fraternities
and sororities, Cochran has made
several hundred speeches at high
schools, colleges and universities
throughout the country.
During the past month he has
been the featured speaker at a
number of Greek Week pro-
grams, including such meetings
at the University of Pennsylvan-
ia and at Trinity College in Con-
necticut.
President of his fraternity, Al-
phy Sigma Phi, while at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, Cochran
was also extremely active in oth-
er campus organizations.
* * *
BESIDES acting as treasurer of
the Undergraduate Council, an or-
ganization similar to the Univer-
sity Student Legislature, and as a
class officer, he took an active part
in Masque and Wig, the Pennsyl-
vaniak equivalent of Union Opera.
A member of Phi Kappa Beta Ju-
nior Society, he was also leader
of the Glee Club and a varsity
cheerleader.
A national officer in Alpha

Sigma Phi since 1927, and a past
president, Cochran is also a
member of the Grand Council
of the fraternity.
Serving on the Executive Com-
mittee of that organization since
1950, he held the position of sec-
retary and vice-chairman before
being elected chairman last No-
vember,
ASIDE FROM his work with the
National Interfraternity Confer-
ence, Cochran is an active sports-
man and serves on the Executive
Committee of the National Ap-
proved Board of Basketball Offi-
cials. He is also president of the
Western New York Board of Bas-
ketball Officials and vice-presi-
dent of the Western New York Dis-
trict Golf Association.
Cochran uses his "spare time"
to advantage as a member of the
Masonic orders, in church af-
fairs, and in work with the
Y.W.C.A., the Civilian Defense
and the Red Cross.
Opening the convention at 8:15
this morning will be Mrs. Robert
F. Lindrooth, a prominent social
and civic worker in the Chicago
area.
A graduate of Northwestern Uni-
versity and a member of Alpha
Omicron Pi sorority, Mrs. Lind-
rooth serves as her sorority's dele-
gate to the National Panhellence
Association. She is also a past na-
tional president of Alpha Omicron
Pi.
Attended by delegates from all
the Big Ten schools and Iowa
State University, and the annual
IFC-Panhellenic Convention op-
ened last evening with registra-
tion.
