Panhel Junior Panhellenic Association announced the names of its new officers yesterday. Three girls, chosen through in- terviews, were nominated for each office. Jean Willoughby of Chi Omega was elected vice-president for the coming year. Also nominated for By MARJ BLUCTMAN Vulpes fulva . .. Procyon lotor . may sound like Greek (or Latin) to you, but to J. Stewart Lowther, the names are as com- mon and real as ice cream and, well, ring-tailed racoons. As animal house attendant at the University zoo for a period of years, Lowther has gotten some interesting insight into the wild- life world, and has made some re- markable animal friends. One of these is "Brother," the bear, who, along with thirteen other members of the animal king- dom, is housed in 'the circular menagerie in back of the museum. Surrounding the cages, given an- onymously in 1928, are rustic shrubs and paths which lend an authentic atmosphere to the zoo- logical garden. Described as "big, black, in- telligent and slightly rheumatic," "Brother" will celebrate his 23rd birthday in February. Long with- out a mate, for "Sister" died many years ago, "Brother" has as a com- panion two-and-a-half year old "Toodles." Although the two are not related, they get along on what' Lowther terms an "armed truce." Strange Diet Fed every day except during hibernation, "Brother" exhibits several eating peculiarities. He will drink only from running water and has a remarkable affin- ity for eggs, any style., Two foxes; who are extremely timid and high-strung, have been at the zoo for four years. Because of weak lungs and a low resistancy, most foxes don't survive in cap- tivity for so long a period. The most colorful inhabitants of the zoo are the eight members of the racoon family. Extremely in- telligent.as well as constant busy- bodies, the racoons are separated into two pens. Six relatively placid ones, four males and two females, share the same dwelling, while the troublemaking twins live in the next cage. Attendant Lowther terms the family arrangement "a complete anarchy," and for this reason calls the racoon tribe "The Anarchists." The twins, both males, are named "Ann and "Arc" - the feminine appellation not at all disturbing "Ann." Odorless Skunk Another congenial member of the zoological garden, although visitors have their doubts, is "Churchy," the skunk. Formerly a house pet, "Churchy"' is meticu- lously clean and odor free. "Churchy's" favorite supper is "mouse," hungrily accepted each day. A long-time resident of the zoo is the badger, who has "yet to be baptised." Somewhat unsociable, his primary interests center around using his strength in digging inside his pen. In the true Michigan tradition the zoo housed a wolverine until its death several years ago. This mascot lived to be past 20, estab- lishing a record of longevity for the species in captivity. Because of the expense of harboring a wolverine, another has not been purchased since. Natives of State Other breeds have been rejected at the University zoo, either be- cause of lack of hardiness or pos- session of unsuitable habits. Noc- turnal animals such as the opos- sum have been turned down as well as some species not originally found in the state of 'Michigan. Theoretically, every animal ad- mitted to the menagerie must be native to the area. Disregarding the barks of the foxes and the racoons' arguments, Lowther finds work at the zoo "pretty quiet" although never lack- ing in excitement. Fourteen special residents on campus, namely the zoo animals, find there's "never a dull moment" living at the University of Michi- gan! the office were Mary Jean Herder of Gamma Phi Beta and Sophie Shambes of Kappa Kappa Gam- ma. Running for the office of secre- tary along with the winner, Kitty Bell of Collegiate Sorosis, were Lee Sarraf of Alpha Delta Pi and Sara Weiner of Alpha Epsilon Phi. Joan Logan of Alpha Phi and Joan Taylor of Sigma Kappa were candidates for the office of treas- urer as well as Kay Byers of Delta Delta Delta, who won the elections. The president of Junior Pan- hellenic, Molly Dwan of Kappa Kappa Gamma was elected last February and her term expires next February. Unique Group Composed of Calvin Men By SUE RAUNHEIM One of the youngest professional fraternities at the University of Michigan is Phi Alpha Kappa situated on East Ann Street. This fraternity was started when a group of Calvin College gradu- ates enrolled in the University for post graduate study, decided they would like to room together. Most of them were of Dutch descent and had common backgrounds and religious beliefs. In 1929 they rented a house on North Ingalls Street. Because the men were not un- dergraduate students and repre- sentedd i f f e r e n t professional schools, the group differed from the other fraternities on campus. The name Phi Alpha Kappa was agreed upon and was intended to signify "Fraternity of Alumni of Calvin." Its purpose was to pro- vide adequate living quarters and a wholesome atmosphere for its members. Leaving this house, the men fin- ally moved to East Ann Street in 1944. At this time there are fifty ac- tive members in the fraternity and the men have pledged 25 more this fall. Many of the members are mat- rned and the wives have formed an active auxiliary organizatiun. From 1945 to 1953 the fraterni- ty sponsored a group of war or- phans in Europe and for thU last two years has given Christmas do- nations to various charities. They also sponsored a Christmas party complete with Santa Claus. Last year the fraternity cele- brated its silver anniversary. For the casual life you live .. .
