I just love to wear feminine things and I don't care what makes me this way. All I want is just to get dressed up and have a ball." Others say they don't like the term "F.P." and want to continue to use TV. To both of these I say, "to each his own", be my guest. There is nothing compulsive about these ideas. You certainly don't have to join the sorority. But I feel the majority of you can per- ceive the logical continuity of the steps so far taken and will go along the rest of the way. I certainly have no desire to organize a group of guys whose only desire was to dress up and parade around as women. Society would never understand nor condone. I want a group that has a socially and psychologically reasonable basis for existance, a helpful, practical program of development and a broad humanly valuable goal to strive for. I am sure that all of these exist within the framework which has been under construction. Re- verting to my first analogy, the foundation has been laid and we are working on the intermediate floors. The penthouse is now in the planning stage and being blue printed by a few of us who have been able to devote some time and thought to it. The sorority be- ing discussed here is not the penthouse, it is a way station, an intermediate stage which it is necessary to establish to provide a gathering point for our kind. In due course leaders will arize within this group who may be prepared to join in higher efforts which will include enlightened persons from outside the F.P. group.

F.P.E. is, in Greek letters, PHI PI EPSILON and this, therefore becomes the name of our sorority. The plan, purpose, program, and pin design together with admission requirements etc. will be set forth in a seperate folder which will be ready within the next 2 weeks and will be sent free to those requesting it.

"Charters", so to speak, for the organization of chapters of the Sorority will be issued where circumstances indicate that there are sufficient individual members available and where the set-up is in good hands and correctly conceived. The Alpha, or first chap- ter will be formed out of local members in Los Angeles, others will be beta, gamma, etc. as they are organized.

I hope you will all understand that this is not an attempt on my part to set up a personal, private organization. I have no wish for that, but, as the focal point of the whole movement because of the magazine, I find myself in a special position. Of necessity movements such as this have to originate with one or a few dedica- ted persons and be offered by them to the rest. Moreover, a mom-
