October 4, 1930

Dear Mother,

There are no football tickets for sale here, because we all get in on our student body tickets.

Things are going along fine here, you know, good old college life: no sleep, all study, good meals etc. the assignments surely do pile up, and I have to study every minute in order to keep up. I try to get to bed by ten or ten thirty every night though. I am becoming better and better acquainted in the house, and I realize more and more what a wise decision I made. the Betas are right next door as you know, and there certainly exists a wonderful friendly spirit between the two. There are always some Betas in the Lodge or else some Chi Psis’ in their home. We go places with each other, and have great times.

I am rooming with Fletcher Udall, and he sends his best regards to you. Every morning I get up at six-forty-five and do my detail before breakfast. My detail this week is to sweep the walks and porches. No demands are made on me however which will take me from my studies, in fact everybody is very anxious to help me. Jean helped me with my accounting tonight.

When I come home, I am going to bring George Rischmuller and Bob Norton with me; so please don’t embarrass him, because the fact hurts him enough as it is.

I received a letter from Malcom today, and he is pledged to Phi Gamma Delta. He came right out and said he wasn’t happy, dam it all.

Say hello to Dad and don’t worry about me; I am all well.

George
