Delta Psi Omega Dramatic Fraternity
Organized At Gardner-Webb
A big step has been taken in our college Dramatics De
partment with the organizing of the Delta Psi Omega Dra
matic Fraternity. On Thursday, April 10, after an impres
sive induction service, nine charter members were initiated
by J. Y. Hamrick, faculty sponsor for the club. He was as
sisted m the ritual by Mary Dean Minges, Sara Cooke and
Martha Stone. Requirements for membership in the cast of
Delta Psi Omega are rigid and membership in the Fraternity
is indeed an honor.
Mary Dean Minges was elected
Director or Vice-President, Sara
>.ooke was elected to the responsi- PqJI of Onininn
Bility of Secretary and Ti-easurer ^ WpilliUil
and Martha Stone will serve as the
Publicity Director. The remaining
members of the Fraternity are: Joy
ce Hamrick, Bobby Heffner, Don
Bynum, Zeb Wright and Charles
Rich.
■‘Delta Psi Omega was organized
March 20, 1929, as an honorary dra
matic fraternity for the purpose
Oi providing an honor society for
cho^e domg a high standard of work
m dramatics and incidentally
chrough the expansion of Delta Psi
Omega among the colleges of the
united States and Canada, provide
a wider fellowship for those inter
ested in the college theater. The fra
ternity is not intended to take the
place of the regular dramatic club
or other producing groups, but as
students qualify, they are reward
ed by election to membership in this
society. Play production is an ac
tivity highly technical that it re
quires the services of a trained di
rector and all the resources of a
large dramatic association organized
on the most democratic basis where
every member of a student body may
have equal opportunity for self ex
pression."
The Gardner-Webb cast of Delta
Psi Omega is already at work set
ting up its constitution and by-laws,
using as a guide those things sug
gested by the national organization.
The Delta Psi Omega Dramatic
Fraternity has an annual pubUca-
tion entitled The PlaybUI. The pur
pose of this magazine is “to afford
college and university dramatic or
ganizations opportunity to acquaint
themselves with what is being done
oy their contemporaries and to serve
the Fraternity as an official organ. ’
There are many Casts of Delta
Psi Omega in North Carolina,
Among these are Mars Hill Junior
College, Wingate Junior College,
Lees-McRae College, Pfeiffer Junior
College, Presbyterian College, and
Jjouisburg College.
Delta Psi Omega means “The
Science of Voice and Drama.’
is the pm-pose of the Gardner-Webb
Cast to promote the highest in
dramatic arts and to instruct
members to strive for constant im
provement among its membersiiip
along these lines. Later in "
spring, the Fraternity will have
other initiation for those people
who will have, by then, qualif
for membership.

The prospects of next year’s B. S. U. being one of the
best in the history of Gardner-Webb is evident with the new
officers that were recently elected. At the helm to guide
B. S. U. activities for next year is Wayne Sorrells of Frank
lin, N. C. A great responsibility now rests on his capable
shoulders. Since the B. S. U. is the most important organiza
tion on a Baptist College campus, it is imperative to have
wide-awake leaders who truly have the “Spirit of B. S. U.”
The campus should actually breath the activities of the
B. S. U. and its sponsored organizations. A lot has been done
