Lawrence N. Pease wrote in The Lampadion;

"Due to the exigency of the times, 'Eastern,' the home of Zeta Chapter, has been reduced to a two-year status. The institution has been a four-year teachers college (established by a ruling of the Board of Regents) since 1924. The constitutional right of the Regents to establish such four-year teacher training institutions was questioned. The Legislature upheld them but, as South Dakota is cursed with a Referendum law, the necessary ten thousand signers to a petition were secured and hence there is no other alternative than to operate as a two-year institution until the next general election a year from now. This action has been disastrous to Phi Sigma I and other organizations whose membership has been recruited chiefly from the senior college. It is hoped that in another year or two Zeta Chapter will be in operation at full strength."1
