NEWS!

The PHI PI EPSILON page may not seem to be the place to make this announcement, but since it concerns one of the important persons in the Sorority I feel that it is in order.

Barbara Elin, whom you all know as the clever editor of the Femme Mirror, and the originator of the Operation Cupid idea and co- organizer of the Sorority has up and went and gone and done it. She got tired of waiting for enough people to take her up on Operation Cupid so she went out (in the person of Bob) and found THE girl. And quite a girl she is too. She not only accepted the whole FP idea immediately but has fallen right into the whole field of work. Her name is Joyce and she is real great..."a thing of beauty and a Joyce forever" as the poet said. Well, having found that all was well in the FP quarter they have proceeded in the time honored fashion, and probably before this edition hits your mailbox, Bob and Joyce will be married. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to be able to tell you about this because it is so satisfying to observe the difference it makes in a person who is not only in love but who knows that he is FREE, that the whole person is involved in the love relationship,. not just the socially acceptable part. It relieves inhibitions, frustrations, and guilts that have built up over the years. I can only hope that those of you still looking for understanding mates can be encouraged by Bob's success and good fortune. A year ago he would have been unable to tell Joyce about FP in a clear, guilt free manner and thus she might not have been able to accept it. But all of us grow and this includes Bob and I with the rest of you. Learn- ing from and working with each other helps all of us and the rewards are great. So these love birds will probably be perched on their own nesting twig before long. Congratulations to them!

Joyce finds many advantages in an FP husband. She says that whenever she gets a bit put out about the masculine Bob she can tell him to go get Barbara and then she can deal with Barbara on her own feminine terms. This is the first time I've thought of FP as a sort of "doghouse" for erring boyfriends or husbands, but there are hidden
