A Letter From the Editor . . .

This issue of The Theta Review was originally scheduled for publication on the first of June. However, the two men who were assisting your editor in writing the material were called into the Army before they had a chance to write more than four or five articles in this edition. Because of the heavy load of writing, proof reading, and other work necessary for publication, it was impossible for your editor to get The Review out any sooner.

At this writing, the Ohio Wesleyan Naval Training Unit (V-12) is now in its second week of operation. Among this group are seven men from Theta Chapter and three from the Kenyon Chapter. In addition, there is one civilian active on the campus.

These eleven men have gotten busy on rushing in spite of the heavy load carried by all of them. The results are beginning to show already. Three men have been pledged so Ear, one civilian and two V-12 freshmen. There are several more who are being rushed at the present.

Under the new Navy V-12 program, trainees are eligible to join fraternities Since there will be a new group of fresh  men coming in every four months, it will be possible to pledge men throughout the year.

The men of Theta Chapter who are still on the campus are doing a fine job of adapting the fraternity to the wartime basis. If this spirit prevails, there should be no reason at all for Theta Chapter to cease functioning for the duration.

Your editor feels that, in spite of the fact that The Theta Review should have been in your hands more than a month ago, it is worth having it late just to bring you this message.

I hope that you have enjoyed this issue, and that it may bring back memories of the days you spent in “Old Theta”. If you would like to have more issues of The Review, please let us know.

Be assured that we will do everything in our power to keep the Theta Fires burning brightly.

Yours in
HOWARD M. ANDERSON, JR. x’44
Editor; The 1943 Theta Review
