However there is one fly in the oint­ment, but then that is as it should be,the 1Inesicles alumni decisively whippedthe champs! But that is O. K., forthere are now two bowling cups and atrophy on the mantle awaiting the ar­rival of the Big Ten twenty-four inchcup.

MICHIGAN ALUMNIARE POOR BACKERS

Demetrios and Anthemios Men VieIn Race For .Subscriptions.

Androni,cus Now Leads.

l\lichigan men, alumni, associate andhonorary members of Alpha Rho Chiare giving the poorest support to THEARC1-II of any group.

This seems- a pitiable situation in viewof the fact that Iktinos was one of thetwo initial chapters. The active chapter\vas the first to be one hundred per centsubscribed; they deserve better backing.

A.. ndronicus, Paeonios and Kallikratesgroups, the younger chapters, whichhave not such a large group of "lost"alumni, stand at the top of the list ofpercentages in the order named. Kal­likrat~s, however, has not been accord­ed the support of their grads or theywould rank higher.

Demetrios Coming FineDuring January, Mnesicles chapter

forged ahead of Andronicus, into thirdplace, only to lose it when subscriptionsfor the last batch of pledges came in.

.l\1nesicles still leads the four older chap­ters in percentage as well as total sub­scriptions.

As subscription have come in the lasttwo months Demetrios men have pulledtheir chapter out of a poor last placeinto a place in the sun. In fact for afew days they jumped ahead of Anthe­mios in the "batting average." ~At th1swriting Anthemios has the upper hand,but for how long?

At the l~ft are the standing on Jan.25th and Feb. 8th. What \vill they b~

np-xt month. Are Michigan Altlmniofficers satisfied? THE ARCHI is hereto stay-why not .co-operate?

COHAGEN FIRST WORTHYGRAND SCRIBE 'WRITES

Chandler C. Cohagen, '15, Iktinos. firstW. G. S., now, located in Billings, Mont.,is practicing in partnership with AngusV. McIver under the name of McIver &Cohagen. Brother Cohagen is married,but has no children.

In writing- ~he says, "I have enjoyedTHE ARCHI very much, haTe merelydelayed answering your letters before.Tell me about the new chapter, theeighth one you mentioned. I rarelyhear from Iktinos, but I am interestedin Alpha Rho Chi."

At the present tin1e, most of the men\vho have not subscribed are either men\-vhose addresses have been so defectivethat early issues of THE ARCHI didnot reach thelTI or else they are newmen in the fraternity. For them TILEARCHI "vill be $1.00 for the balance ofthe school year. In the case of the newpledges, this ·will be in addition to the$10.00 life subscription \-vhich is payableupon initiation. The life subscriptionstarts with the October 1924 issue.

ONE DOLLAR AND TEN

ONLY FOUR PAGES, WHY?Yes, there are only four pages this

month. The original program of THEARCHI was to average, if possible, aneight-page paper each month. The firstissue of the year, October, was a twelvepage issue which offsets this four-pageedi tiona Weare planning on anothertwelve pager again next month, with arevamped fraternity directory takingsix pages.

FORGING TI-IOSE LINKSIn the first issue under the present

administration we stated that it wasour aim "to make the little newspaperan instrument through \-vhich the menof j\~lpha Rho Chi \-vill be forged into aliving chain of fellowship which \-villguarantee for the future a united andgrowing fraternity."

'1'0 gain this end we first launched avigorous subscription campaign whichwe are still pushing. Last year we hadonly 264 subscribers on the lists, vvhileat the present time there are 384, a 46per cent increase. I t is only reasonableto believe that the larger the subscrip­tion list the greater t-he unity of thefraternity.

Second class mail entry \-vas securedfor THE ARCHI and all copies aremailed in substantial manila envelopes'iVhich has resulted in excellent postaldelivery. Through the co-operation ofpostal officials, under second-class mailregulations, many addresses were foundto be incorrect. In some cases newaddresses have been given by post­offices.

Gradually through the splendid co­operation of the various Alumni Officesat Illinois, Michigan, Ohio ·and Minne­sota the list of "Who Knows" has beencut down. Chapter officers, formerclassmates and faculty men have sup­plied other data, but the task is not yetcomplete. Please give your attention tothis matter at once, we plan on a newdirectory next month. .

Entered as second-class matter October 23,1923, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn.,under the Act of March 3, 1879.
