TAU KAPPA EPSILON FRATERNITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

Volume 41, Number Z - Berkeley, California June, 1960

CARNATION BALL AND HAMM'S PARTY HIGHLIGHT TEKB ALUMNI SOCIAL

SEASON

_ The evening of Ap.ri1 2nd, th-e date of_the C&rnatiQn£all __ w.as an_evening to _

remember for Teke Alumni, undergraduates, dates and friends. From the moment
of arrival at Frater Goth's California Street apartment for cocktails to the last
dance, it was a full evening to be sure!
At the Ball, two events captured ever yone's a.ttention. The crowning of Miss
Barbara Majesky, Kappa Alpha Theta, as Carnation Girl and the awards to the
undergraduates. The alumni awards, presented to undergraduate members for
scholarship, campus activities, or a combination of both went to: £d Pollack '61,
Ontario; Bill Donovan '61, El Cerrito; Denis Vineys '62, Pittsburg; Don Kendall '61,
Burlingame; Frank Sally '60, Castro Valley; Bob LaLiberte '61, Palo Alto., and
Dan Baker '61, A rlington, Virginia. The Tau Kappa Epsilon Mothers' Club awards
went to Bill Donovan '61. El Cerrito and Jim Seger '62, San Jose. The awards were
ca sh and monogramed billfolds.
Right after the Carnation Ball, John Tilbury '58, Prytanis, sent out the announce­
ments for the Fourth Annual Teke Nite at Hamm's. The event held in the 'Land Of
The Sky Blue Water' Room, high atop Hamrn's Brewery (the most commanding
view in the city) . drew 50 fraters and their friends. This casual social evening is
growing more popular with alumni each year ••••more informal than the Carnation
Ball and an event that is held in an unusual location and a menu that varies from
the usual.
If you missed the Carnation Ball and the Hamm's Party this year be sur e to
attend both events next year. Teke fellowship reigneth!

membership is Tau Kappa Epsilon are not overlooked.

Our summer rushing contacts have started and a big push is

being made to contact prospects and sell them on the merits of
Tau Kappa Epsilon. We are pushing hard to increase our
memb ership - we will need 15 to 20 men to fill the house. Big
membership is not only a trend it is imperative for good
financial operation of the house and good campus representation •

Through business associates, friends and high school principals
