U u ; Park Free after 6 p.m. Rampark or Autopat k Fraternity 150 years old Chi Phis plan celebration The Greek houses that line 16th Street may seem like classic landmarks of UNL, and indeed many of them have interesting histories. This year marks the 150th anniversary of Chi Phi fraternity, located near the Harper-Schramm-Smith residence hall complex. The UNL Alpha Theta Chi chapter of Chi Phi is planning activities to celebrate the anniversary, according to Lee Shannon, chairman of the anniversary committee. Shannon said the members of the fraternity are planning a dance marathon, March 7 and 8 in the Nebraska Union Ballroom, to support the fraternity's national philanthropy, the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. of America. A $5 fee will be the admission for participants who will recruit money pledges to dance all night, he said. He said the entire University community is invited to dance. Alumni banquet An alumni banquet is also being planned to celebrate the founding of Chi Phi, the nation's first social fraternity, he said. Chi Phi was founded on December 24, 1824, at Princeton University, Shannon said. Following the Civil War the North and South versions joined to symbolize unity and kindness which remain qualities of high value in the fraternity today, he said. The Nebraska chapter was founded on May 9, 1895, as the sixth fraternity on the UNL campus' he said. The original house, which was located on D street, was known as Alpha Theta Chi, he said. The fraternity became Chi Phi on this campus when they received their charter in 1932, Shannon said. The original members of the UNL chapter were also members of a literary society, and in 1892 began a student newspaper, the Nebraskan, as competition for the existing Hesperian Student, Shannon said. After the two papers merged in 1899, the Nebraskan-Hesperian had as its editor a member of Alpha Theta Chi. The name was changed in 1901 to the Daily Nebraskan, and since then 19 members of the fraternity have served as editor of the Daily Nebraskan, Shannon said. Chi Phi was forced to fold at UNL with the debut of World War II, and was not resumed until 1963, when the fraternity moved into its present house, Shannon said. Pershing once adviser The UNL chapter, which once had General John J. Pershing as an adviser, is part of a national membership of 30,000, Shannon said. In addition to supporting its high values, its members, who last year dribbled a basketball 100 miles to raise $12,000 to donate toward the prevention of Muscular Dystrophy, also support, an educational trust which grants $6,000 in scholarships yearly to its members, he said. CBS newsman Walter Cronkite, a Chi Phi alum, has assembled a film which covers the highlights of the fraternity over the past 150 years. Shannon said the film will be shown as part of the celebration. 12th&'R'St. Shakespeare Films TKROKE OF BLOOD Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune 105 minutes 1857 Japan(Engfish subtitles) Friday & Saturday February 14 & 15 screenings at 3, 7 & 9 pm admission $1.25 presents rol ir inger guitarist of the ike Ooualas Sho mum 8:00 to 12:30 ednesday thru Saturday ,J U J O O li Li L CJ U y Li Li o page 8 4 ' 'HM!s5 daily nebraskan friday, february 14, 1975
