I'LL HOLD BACK A LITTLE NEXT MONTH AND GIVE YOU ALL A CHANCE! TAKE IT EASY, JOE! RUBBING IT IN FRATERNITY HOSTESS LATEST DEVELOPMENT AT UNIVERSITY State University, Missoula, Aug. (Special)--That the fraternity hostess system is successful at Montana State university is indicated by the fact that Mrs.

Alex Peterson, who became the first fraternity social director on the campus last fall, has been asked to take over that position again by the Sigma Nu fraternity. She is now vacationing In California. Richard Thomson, prpsl- dent of the local chapter of the fraternity, said that, tho chapter's experience had shown that "there Is a higher tone whole house. We were anxious that our experiment be a success, and tho wholehearted approval the chapter of 70 men gave the system Indicates that we have been successful." When, a year ago, Mrs. Peterson was Invited to become hostess nnd social director at the fraternity, the a i president of the university, the deans of men and women and other faculty members, as well as scores of local people who arc interested In the fraternity system, were high In their praises of the fraternity and were anxious to see what the results would he, since this was tho first time a fraternity had had a social director.

Sorority houses long have had housemothers. Thomson paid high praise to Mrs. Peterson. "She came In without i a of us, but prepared because she herself wanted to do nil she could to make the plan successful. A year ngo we were straiigevs.

Now each of us i of her as our second mother at college. We feel a we have demonstrated our support of tho university because wo have aimed at a high standard. Mrs. Peterson has been invaluable." The Sigma Nu house was renovated years ago, at which time an apartment on tho first floor wns prepared for a housemother. Mrs.

Peterson's duties last year Included complete charge of soclnl i direction of tho i i room and a general Interest In In-the-house activities. Thomson, who Is the son of President Francis A. Thomson of the Montana School of Mines at Butto, said a he believed that the success of tho housemother system was one of tho greatest strides his fraternity had ever taken. It Is the oldest a i on Iho campus, and was established In 1005. The university feels that the so- clnl director system In a i houses, as well us In sororities, Is Important because It "brings about a proper tone to the house." At the time of Mrs.

Peterson's Installation, nearly 400 guests--many of them connected i the university --attended a reception given in her honor, nnd house on her selection. Mrs. Peterson Is the mother of two state university graduates, one of them a member of Sigma. Nu nnd the other a member of Kappa Kappa Gnmmo sorority. Her husband, who died nearly two years ago, also was a member of the fraternity.
