WESTERN MARYLAND'S chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary debating fraternity, operates as an end to a means rather than as a means to an end. On most campuses where chapters of Tau Kappa Alpha have been established, debating activities are centered around the fraternity itself. At Western the fraternity is purely honorary and does not participate in debating. Only those students who have proved their debating ability are elected to membership. T. K. A. was founded at Western Maryland College in ALFRED GOLDBERG the school year 1934-35, under the leadership of Dr. Wills President and Coach Rush. The charter was presented to the college by Dr. Herbert Wing, chairman of the Pennsylvania Council of Tau Kappa Alpha and accepted for the fraternity by the late president, Dr. Albert Norman Ward. The annual banquet, which was held in May, was the the organization during the year. On that occasion were elected for next and two new members, Veronica Kompanek and Sherrard, were initiated. Members of the fraternity are: Charles Ehrhardt, Frank Malone, Eleanor Taylor, Paul Nelson, Alfred Goldberg, and Joseph Oleair. Dr. George S. Wills and Professor John D. Makosky are faculty members of Tau Kappa Alpha. T. K. A. was represented at the annual regional conven- tion at Susquehanna University by Alfred Goldberg, Veronica Kompanek, and Frank Malone.
