Winner of 2 British Academy Awards "The Divided Heart" I By RENE GNAMv This year marks the 100th an- niversary of the founding of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. To celebrate the occasion, Iota- Beta Chapter, 1408 Washtenaw, has erected an 8'x16' map of the United States, entitled, "A Cen- tury of Progress in SAE."
