LAW XII, SECTION 6 Supreme Law of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity "Exceptionally meritorious service by a member of the Fraternity may be recognized by a suitable certificate of citation. The National Council shall nominate to the Supreme Chapter at its biennial meeting such members as in its opinion may be worthy of said honor, and upon a majority vote of the Supreme Chapter, the award shall be made. Not more than six such awards shall be made by any one Supreme Chapter."

WHEREAS the Merit Citation Award of Pi Kappa Phi has long been a distinctive honor awarded to those brothers selected for it by the Supreme Chapters, and WHEREAS those selected are most exemplary of giving one's self to the Fraternity in manner and devotion far above the call of duty and responsibility to our beloved Fraternity, THEREFOR, let us direct our attention to this important function of the 29th Supreme Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi; During the 58 years since the founding of the Fraternity, 59 brothers have been selected for this honor. By the statement of brothers who have received this award, this is the ultimate honor and achievement attainable within our brotherhood; Six brothers will now be recommended to us for the Merit Citation Award at this 29th Supreme Chapter meeting. Three of these brothers continue their services with us, and three brothers now serve in the Chapter Eternal; Brother Andrew Alexander Kroeg, of Alpha Chapter and now of the Chapter Eternal, is one of our three founders and was the guiding light in giving our fraternity its permanent corporate status during its infancy; Brother Thomas Mosiman, also of Alpha Chapter, and now of the Chapter Eternal, was Alpha number 6 among the inspired brothers at the College of Charleston in 1904; Brother Paul Irvine, of Alpha Iota Chapter and now of the Chapter Eternal, was initiated as a faculty member of Alpha Iota Chapter and served loyally for thirty years in several capacities. His devotion is well exemplified by his efforts which culminated in the building of the Alpha Iota Chapter House in 1940 and then in 1957, after fire had destroyed the chapter house, again worked diligently to assist the building of a new chapter house; Brother James Fogarty, of Alpha Chapter, is a charter member of Pi Kappa Phi and is in fact Alpha number one of our brotherhood; Brother Herman Fuchs, of Alpha Xi Chapter, has devoted 56 years of service to Alpha Xi Chapter, being a founder of the Psi Sigma local fraternity which became Alpha Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi in 1928. Brother Fuchs two sons are also brothers of Pi Kappa Phi; Brother W. Bernard Jones, of Alpha Chapter, is well-known to us here at this 29th Supreme Chapter. Brother Jones has served with distinction in the formal capacities of Chapter Adviser, District President, Executive Secretary, and National President, and most recently as Past National President; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Merit Citation Award of Pi Kappa Phi be awarded to these outstanding and devoted brothers, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that they be informed of the unending esteem and gratitude which their brothers hold for them.

SEES SOCIALIST DANGER

LETTERS BREWED UP A STORM Dear Editor: As an alumni of Pi Kappa Phi (Chi) Chapter 1949, I receive The Star and Lamp each month and consider it to be an excellent publication from a fraternity or industry standpoint. It is well put together and from my viewpoint, appears to get better with each new edition.

However, I would like to take exception with a cartoon on the inside back cover of the August 1962 edition. As'a representative of the United States Brewers Association, Inc., the oldest trade association in America celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, the aforementioned cartoon certainly is not the image we are trying to create within the brewing industry.

Nor do I think the cartoon is appropriate for the millions of Americans who enjoy an occasional cold glass of beer nor the thousands of Pi Kapps who receive The Star and Lamp.

I am sure that there was no intent on the part of our. fine magazine to imply those alumni members of our great" fraternity who enjoy beer are necessarily unclean, unshaven, and non-supporters of the ideals of Pi Kapp.

It may be of some interest to others also to know that our Florida employment placement bureau is headed by Jesse Thompson in Orlando who also represents the United States Brewers Association, and I am sure that he found no humor in the cartoon.

I am sure you may consider this a small matter to take isgue with, however, for those 80,000 persons directly employed by the brewing industry with an annual payroll of more than $500,000,000, the nation's fifth largest , tatcpayer, the cartoon is not amusing nor accurate because beer and ale today is consumed in two out of three American homes.

Thank you for your interest and congratulations on an outstanding job (wits this one exception} in producing The Star and Lamp.

Sincerely, C. A. GRIFFIS Editor's Note, (We accept this constructive criticism as we are made further aware of the vastness of Pi Kappa Phi. The diversity of the membership sometimes makes it impossible to be entirely discreet.

Our apologies to Brother Griffis and to our other members.)

Dear Editor: I wish to highly compliment you and your staff on the excellent content, as well as the format, of the August issue of The Star and Lamp. It is certainly a well-conceived Rush Week aid.

In the "Tyranny of Agnostic Liberalism," there is a message which clearly outlines one "big" reason for the present decline of personal freedom in our country, and the definite shift toward socialism. Somehow, this message should become required reading at some appropriate time during each chapter meeting. Their own personal freedom depends upon their understanding the profound truth which is given them in this message.

With every good wish, and please extend my best wishes and congratulations to Ted Scharfenstein.

Fraternally yours, BARRY CRIM DeLand, Fla. Editor's Note, (Brother Crim is Vice President and National Director of -The Brotherhood of St. Andrew'', a national organization for men and boys in the Protestant Epsicopal Church.)

SEEKS POUGHKEEPSIANS Dear Editor: For sometime I have been rather inactive in fraternity affairs since my present location is rather inconvenient to any of the alumni chapters. I have recently had occasion to encounter two brothers from my old chapter, Beta Alpha, through their alumni address list.

I am wondering if it is possible for you to send me a listing of the other brothers residing in the Poughkeepsie, New York area. I do not know whether there are enough in the area to start any alumni activity, but with two brothers from my own chapter working for I.B.M. in Poughkeepsie I feel there must be others.

Perhaps no active alumni organization will grow from this request but I am sure that at least one good attempt will be made in that direction.

I greatly appreciate The Star and Lamp now that I am removed from immediate contact with my chapter. It is always anticipated and eagerly read.

Fraternally yours, ROLAND S. HANSON Editor's Note: (If more alumni would assume such on interested and constructive outlook we would in the near future hove an entirely satisfactory alumni promarn.)

29TH SUPREME CHAPTER FACES UP

TO CHALLENGE

*

Delegates Work Hard To Solve Burdensome Problems . . . And Then Have Time For Fun, Too 2

Of the membership of Pi Kappa Phi, less than ten per cent is ever present for a Supreme Chapter Meeting. This requires that the remaining ninety per cent be informed of the proceedings and events by either word-of-mouth or by written communication. To do so adequately in The Star and Lamp would require all of the available space in a single issue. Even then it would be less than desirable, for the spirit and atmosphere of the live performance cannot be conveyed except by physical presence.

This written and pictorical communication of the 29th Supreme Chapter will limit itself to the basic events and activities.

Missing will be the charged atmosphere that prevails at the opening sessions; the sorting and sifting of impressions as each person present attempts to examine the others in light of their devotion and loyalties; the late evening politicing done under the guise of "room parties." You will not feel the hodge-podge of individuality as each is attracted and then repelled by others.

As time goes on, the enveloping warmth of true benevolence, mutual concern, and fledgling friendships developing will be apparent.

Of greater loss in its written form will be the inability to convey those final moments when darkness lifts, the clouds break, and the true fraternity reveals itself in full effulgence.

To appreciate this, you must be present. To believe this you have only to recognize the fact that all the principles of Pi Kappa Phi as expressed in the ritual were embodied in each person present.

Supreme Chapters are Pi Kappa Phi's two Houses of Congress, Supreme Court and the Executive Branch all combined into one. Fun and pleasure are there, however, the fact cannot be evaded that this must be classified as a "working" convention.

No Supreme Chapter in recent history has had such a burdensome task before it. No Supreme Chapter has conducted itself so well in meeting its assignment.

Prior to the opening of the Supreme Chapter, the undergraduate delegates with their chairmen composing three vital committees were called together—Future Policy and Good of the Order, Legislative, and Resolutions. To this combined body was given the task of resolving two major conflicts—a complete recodification of the laws of the Fraternity and a final disposition of the membership criteria of the Fraternity.

The recodification of the Supreme Laws was advanced by the preliminary work conducted by the standing Legislative Committee under the direction of the National Chancellor, Frank Hawthorne. He was assisted by numerous Brothers in the legal profession. These committees and ultimately the Supreme Chapter completed this monumental task, and our Fraternity now operates under a most comprehensive, and yet understandable, network of law.

Brother Wayne Moore, Chapter Adviser of Alpha Omicron Chapter, Iowa State University, worked from early morning to early morning along side of the undergraduate members of these committees in working toward final determination of the Fraternity's membership selection criteria. This was a task that defied solution to the average person. However, with God's guidance and with a fraternal approach a most satisfactory result was developed that proved to be mutually acceptable to all concerned.

Numerous other acts and occurrences deserve mention but . prohibits but a few. Especially noteworthy was a signifspace icant approach to improved scholarship as developed by the Scholarship Committee and presented as a finished product by Dr. Donald Come, Chapter Adviser of Alpha Theta Chapter at Michigan State. Fraternity finances and alumni relations were studied and acted upon by their respective committees under the direction of Brothers Oscar Koch of Nebraska and Karl Jepson of Detroit, Michigan.

THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA PHI

The kick-off luncheon on Wednesday found eating to be of secondary importance. All Pi Kapps present were pleased and proud to have the Honorable John B. Swainson, Governor of the State of Michigan, welcome the Supreme Chapter to Michigan. His welcome was followed by a most inspiring address by Ted Swift, an attorney

in Lansing. Ted challenged all present, especially the young undergraduates, with his tremendous message of our nation's need for disciplined and patriotic young men. He related this need especially well to the valuable service being performed by the College Fraternity • System.

JOHN DE1MLER PICKS UP REINS OF PI KAPPA PHI New President No Stranger To Fraternity, Having Served As Historian, Treasurer, And Chairman Of Ritual And Insignia Committee The Fraternity is fortunate to have again elected outstanding Brothers to serve on the National Council. These men serve the Fraternity long and faithfully on a volunteer basis, devoting much time and finances to the Fraternity's well-being, Theirs is a high honor, but with that honor goes service.

Your National President for 1962-64 is Brother John Deimler of Narberth, Pa. Brother Deimler served the Fraternity as National Historian during the term 1946-48 and as National Treasurer during the next two years. From 1950 until his return to the National Council in 1956, he was Chairman of the Ritual and Insignia Committee. Since 1956 he has served as National Treasurer.

In 1937 he was Archon of Alpha Upsilon Chapter at Drexel where he was initiated, and now he is a member of that chapter's alumni corporation.

He is an active member of the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers and of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Brother Deimler is a Methodist and member of his church choir. He is also active in the Penn Valley Association.

Brother Frank Hawthorne of Montgomery, Alabama, was elected to the office of National Treasurer. Brother Hawthorne served as National Historian during the 1954-56 biennium, and following his election in 1956 as National Chancellor has served in that position until this Supreme Chapter elevated him to the office of National Treasurer.

Brother Hawthorne received his B.S. Degree from Auburn in 1946 and his LL.B. Degree from the University of Alabama in 1949. At Auburn he was Archon of Alpha Iota Chapter, President of the Auburn Interfraternity Council, President of the Auburn Pre-Law Society, and member of Omicron Delta Kappa and Pi Tau Chi National Honor Societies, as well as Phi Alpha Delta local fraternity. He was elected to Who's Who among students in American colleges and universities.

He is a member of the St. James Methodist Church and the Montgomery County, Alabama State, and American Bar Associations.

Elected to the office of National Secretary was Brother Noel Kimball Jepson, of Lansing, Michigan. Brother Jepson is a former Archon of Alpha Theta Chapter at Michigan State University.

He has served for several years as President of Alpha Theta Building Corpora4

tion. Since early Spring of 1961, he has been serving the Fraternity as District President for District IX. His professional memberships include Industrial Marketers of Detroit, Sales and Advertising Club of Lansing (Past President), Advertising Roundtable of Southern Michigan (Past President), Advertising Federation of America and the American Marketing Association. Other activities include Rotary, Lansing and Michigan Chambers of Commerce, City Club, Elks and the Lansing River Improvement Committee.

National Historian for the 1962-64 biennium will be Brother Mel Metcalfe of Port Arthur, Texas. Brother Metcalfe was appointed by the National Council to replace Brother Louis P. Jervey, Jr., upon his resignation from the Council as National Historian in September, 1961. Prior to that Brother Metcalfe had served the Fraternity for several years as District President of District VII. Brother Metcalfe was initiated into Alpha Gamma Chapter at the University of Oklahoma in 1925. There he served in all chapter offices.

After graduation in 1927 from the University of Oklahoma, where he studied Journalism, he worked in the newspaper field for 18 years. He entered the insurance business in 1946. A Kiwanian for 27 years, Brother Metcalfe served as President of the Port Arthur club in 1942 and as Lt. Governor of the Texas-Oklahoma District in 1947. He is a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Port Arthur, Texas. It would be well to mention that Brother Metcalfe has practiced the hobby of magic since he was 13 years old and is considered an expert in this entertainment endeavor.

Another new member of the National Council for the biennium 196264 is Brother Charles Tom Henderson, the new National Chancellor. Brother Henderson graduated from Stetson University in 1922. While there, he was initiated into Chi Chapter.

Brother Henderson has served the Fraternity well in the intervening years.

He was one of the prime movers in the creation of Beta Eta Chapter at Florida State University. He served for several years as District President for District VI, and for the past four years has served as alumni adviser for Beta Eta Chapter and as its Building Corpo-

ration Treasurer.

It is with more than adequate legal background that Brother Henderson comes to the Fraternity's National Council in the capacity of National Chancellor. He is the Assistant Attorney General for the State of Florida, residing in the state capital city, Tallahassee.

Alumni chapters were well represented.

The participation of several delegates from alumni groups deserve particular recognition. Brother Leonard Blood, of the Atlanta alumni chapter, served the Fraternity well on the Legislative Committee. The Mobile alumni chapter performed the Fraternity a great service by providing for the attendance of Brother Fox Brunson, whose zealous efforts on the Future Policy and Good of the Order Committee were recognized by a special Supreme Chapter resolution.

Of vital significance to the alumni chapters of Pi Kappa Phi was an act of legislation that provided for each alumni chapter having ten votes on all matters. Heretofore, an alumni chapter delegate could only cast one vote for his alumni chapter. This increase in voting power is in keeping with the increased participation of our alumni throughout the country.

The entire Supreme Chapter was noticeably affected by the presence of numerous individual alumni. Not only were there alumni present and participating for their first Supreme Chapter, but of great import were the presence and activity of great stalwarts of the Fraternity from throughout the years.

U. S. Congressman George Grant, a former National Secretary, had 100% attendance at the Supreme Chapter sessions and was ever present as an inspiration at other events. Dr. Will Edington, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, gave great meaning to the meeting by his presence as did Robbie Robinson, former National Secretary.

Brother George Helmrich and Brother Ralph Noreen, both past National Treasurers, participated at every occasion.

Several former District Presidents were present, among them was Ken Bellinger, a Merit Citation winner. Although many others were present and must go unnamed, it would not be proper to fail to list Brother John D. Carroll, National President of Pi Kappa Phi from 1915 to 1927, and presently Chairman of the Devereux D. Rice Memorial Foundation.

The Chapter Advisers Conference was under the leadership of Jim Nettles, Chapter Adviser of Beta Eta Chapter, at Tallahassee, Fla. Their meeting was patterned after the one being held by the District Presidents. Since the Chapter Advisers serve directly under the District Presidents, all effort possible was made to relate the two functions in their meetings.

The results of these two group meetings will certainly have far-reaching effects for Pi Kappa Phi. No other officials of the Fraternity are as close to the life-giving undergraduate chapters, and no one is as vital to the on-going of the Fraternity. From all comment received, it is apparent that the future Supreme Chapters will witness even greater productivity from the meetings and activities of these two groups.

EXCELLENCE RECOGNIZED

Looking over District President's Trophy are Al Head and Kim Jepson.

For too many of us the opportunity to view the Ritual of Initiation never presents itself following depaiture from the undergraduate ranks. Even those more fortunate would have been thrilled and inspired on Friday evening as a dedicated group of undergraduates from Beta Iota Chapter presented a model initiation. From this Ritual comes the true meaning and significance of Pi Kappa Phi. Few Pi Kapps are so fortunate as to enter our Order at the Supreme Chapter. In Lansing the fortunate two were Brothers Edward W. Natharius and Floyd E. Gaunt.

No such venture as a Supreme Chapter can ever be conducted successfully without 100% assistance and cooperation from local Pi Kappa Phi alumni.

The alumni of Lansing, Michigan, were especially helpful and loyal. Through their efforts, there was an efficient registration procedure and many functions provided, including: a get-acquainted party, two luncheons, the final banquet and dance, an afternoon of entertainment and pleasure, and last but not least an excellent ladies program under the direction of Mrs. Verna Hodge, the wife of the alumni chairman, Brother Jim Hodge

Recognition of excellence and achievement were the order of the day off Friday at the Awards Luncheon. An address by Brother W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Past National President, followed the presentation of the annual awards.

Brother Donald Small received for Beta Lambda, University of Tampa, the Theron A. Houser Award for Chapter Achievement, recognizing Beta Lambda as the most improved chapter in Pi Kappa Phi. To list the achievements of this chapter during the past year would prove too lengthy. Let it be sufficient to say that they are truly a credit to Pi Kappa Phi. Alpha Phi Chapter, Illinois Institute of Technology, was presented the President's Plaque for having the outstanding chapter publication for the school year 1961-62. Their publica. tion, the Alpha Philies was judged best in the Fraternity by a selection committee headed by John F. Ayers, Editor of the Port Arthur NEWS, in Port Arthur, Texas. The runners-up were in descending order, Beta Rho Chapter—The Beta Rhose; Alpha Omicron Chapter—The Omicron; Rho Chapter—Virginia Gentleman; and Mu Chapter—Mu Muses.

Again, the Fraternity faced a tie for the National Champion Master Chapter Award; Mu Chapter, Duke University, and Beta Iota, University of Toledo, both amassed a total of 399 points and were declared co-recipients. Eight other chapters were recognized as Master Chapters; Alpha—Charleston, Beta Lambda—Tampa, Alpha Phi—Illinois Tech, Alpha Iota—Auburn, Rho—Washington and Lee, Alpha Xi—Brooklyn, Beta Upsilon—Virginia, Tau—North Carolina State.

In 1960 the National Council presented the District Presidents Trophy to Brother Robert Crossley. Last year the award was not presented. The 1962 recipient was selected with great difficulty due to the outstanding performance of several District Presidents. Brother Kim Jepson now retains this trophy and is due acclaim as the outstanding District President of 1962.

At Lansing Again the Fraternity was fortunate to have present the National Rose of Pi Kappa Phi at the Supreme Chapter. Miss Becky Newsome arrived in Lansing from Winston-Salem, N. C., on Thursday evening. After being kept in wraps Friday and Saturday, she was officially presented to the Fraternity at the banquet on Saturday evening, where she was escorted by the lucky Pi Kapp to whom she is pinned, Brother Bill Clingman, of Epsilon Chapter.

A gift of silver and roses was presented by the out-going President, J. Al. Head.

Needless to say, Brother Head also bestowed an affectionate kiss. Becky added charm and beauty to the occasion as one of the Fraternity's most outstanding Roses.

Pleasant surprises abounded for many individuals at the close of the Supreme Chapter. The National Council surprised Brother J. Al Head and his wife, Elvira, with a beautiful silver coffee set. This was their personal expression of appreciation and affection for Al and Elvira's many years of service to the Fraternity.

Also speechless for the evening, following a totally unexpected gift of silver candelabra, was the Executive Secretary, Durward Owen, and his wife Connie. Some unknown undergraduates promoted the funds for this gift from among the Supreme Chapter delegates and alternates.

The same body presented Assistant Executive Secretary Ted Scharfenstein, Jr., as well as Brother Ralph Noreen, Gamma, 1912, with a surprise package.

BROTHER HEAD

Gives Up Gavel AL HEAD and ELVIRA Head Giving up the gavel as National President is Brother J. Al. for the of Salem, Oregon, who becomes our Past Notional President biennium 1962-64. Brother Head does not escape the office of President office any too soon, for he immediately assumes the position of the he of President of the Institute of Traffic Engineers. In this capacity, will be representing the Traffic Engineers of the United States at a world meeting in Austria during the month of October.

Brother Head is a graduate of Oregon State University, class of Zeta 1939, after having served as Secretary and Archon of Alpha Chapter while there. Brother Head completes many years of service to the Fraternity, having been a Chapter Adviser, a District President, National Historian, and National Secretary prior to his election to the office of National President.

The new National Council, as elected by the 29th Supreme Chapter will miss sorely the services of two stalwarts of Pi Kappa Phi, Brother W. Bernard Jones and Brother Ben Covington. Partially offsetting this loss is Brother Covington's willingness to continue serving the Fraternity as a Counselor-at-Large, appointed by the National President, in charge of alumni relations. No function of the Fraternity is more important, and Brother Covington's experiences with the Fraternity and as a Colonel in the United States Army will be of immense value during the next biennium.

With only two District Presidents absent, their second Supreme Chapter Conference proved again to be highly successful. The practice of bringing the District Presidents to a Supreme Chapter as a body commenced two years ago in Louisville, Ky., at the 28th Supreme Chapter. There it was determined that this was a more than worthwhile function and that it should be continued.

The District Presidents Conference this year was chaired by Brother Kim Jepson, then District President IX, the host District. Practical discussion and mutual enlightenment produced many noteworthy ideas and future courses of action. This group of men, serving their fraternity voluntarily, spent many hours meeting not only as a group but also assisting in working in other areas of Supreme Chapter activity.

John Brown, District President of District V, of Valdosta, Ga., was fully indoctrinated as the fledgling District President present. Bob Kuhlman, acting as Supreme Chapter Warden, met with this group as an observer. Upon Brother Jepson's election to the office of National Secretary, Bob was already well-founded in the District President's activity and was appointed District President of District IX

by National President Deimler.

The District President Conference was appropriately aligned with an entirely new event, a Chapter Advisers Conference. This was the first attempt at such a group meeting in the history of our Fraternity. The idea was conceived as a result of the first successful District Presidents Conference in Louisville. Nineteen of our forty-nine Chapter Advisers were present in Lansing. This was the largest assemblage of Chapter Advisers in our Fraternity's history.

Dear Brother Deimler.

When I was a pledge to Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, I was much impressed with the desire to belong to an accepted social order. I aspired to be worthy to be initiated into Pi Kappa Phi. The social aspects of the order had a strong impact upon my thinking.

When I became an undergraduate member of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, I found my interests reaching beyond self into the development and growth of a larger group. The health and happiness of this group was important to me. The brotherhood development of the Order crept into my thinking.

When I became Chapter Adviser, I began to have concern for the business aspect of the organization, realizing that even a brotherhood must be business-like. When I became District President, I began to see the sociological aspect of developing a harmonious brotherhood.

When I became Executive Secretary of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, the health and wealth of the chapters was of concern. Of greater concern was whether these men in the chapter houses of America had ideals which would tie in with what the Author of the Sermon on the Mount had in mind.

As National President of Pi Kappa Phi, I came to be gravely concerned about the battle raging between the two ideologies of the world—socialistic, welfare, share-all philosophy sponsored by those individuals who want to lean upon the group as opposed to the independent, pay-as-you-go group, who feel that each man should be a separate entity, subject only to God for his soul; his state and nation for conforming to an acceptable behavior pattern; and to himself for the maintenance of his own keep unless he be impaired mentally or physically, in which case he would share in an overall charity program from us all. During the 1940s and early 50's I had the feeling that the majority of Pi Kappa Phi undergraduates leaned toward the former ideology. During the post few years, I am seeing a new and more independent thinking undergraduate—one who believes in himself and his ability to succeed without Federal crutches. This is heartening.

As a past national officer, retiring from the national scene, I hope to continue contributing to the belief that Pi Kappa Phi is and should be a brotherhood of man—not a superficial social order—and that the brotherhood of man is best served by independent actions and thinking without the ever-present crutch of socialism.

I have come to –Boys Acres'' in Pinewood, South Carolina, to spend the rest of my days. True, there will be occasional sojourns into other parts because I have so many wonderful Pi Kappa Phi friends the length and breadth of this land of ours. Membership in Pi Kappa Phi has been one of the richest experiences of my life. For this I am wonderfully indebted to the 20,000 men who make it up and to you as its titular head with whom I have enjoyed working and known so pleasantly for these past fifteen years.

Fraternally, W. BERNARD JONES, JR. Past National President

BRUCE FISHER, CHAIRMAN of Ritual and Insignia Committee INTRODUCTION The National Council has recently appointed Brother H. Bruce Fisher, Epsilon, as Chairman of the Ritual and Insignia Committee. Brother Fisher was born in Curling.

Newfoundland, the son of a physician. After graduating from Davidson College, he attended Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, where he received his Master's Degree in Theology.

Rev. Fisher served pastorates in South Carolina for six years and in West Virginia for five years. He is presently pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Port Arthur, Texas, where he now lives with his wife and three daughters.

YOUR RITUAL—PART OF A THOUSAND EXPERIENCES! One of the most sagacious lines in the history of literature were the words which Homer put into the mouth of his Ulysses: "I am a part of all that I have met." These words have, of course, a two-fold significance. It means that we leave an impression on others with whom we come in contact.

We are now a part of their experience.

It also means everyone we have met, and every experience through which we have passed, has helped to mould and shape us into the beings we are. Many of these influences which are a part of us, are perhaps unconscious influences: the good example of a parent; the thirst for knowledge which some good teacher unobtrusively planted within us; the secure feeling created unknowingly by the confidence of a trusting friend.

Perhaps it is into this category that our

H. B. FISHER Fraternity Ritual would be placed. For many of you it has been years since you have heard those meaningful words, or passed through the moving experience of the Ritual of Initiation of Pi Kappa Phi. Perhaps you would be embarrassed, if you were to ask yourself just what occurred, or the significance of the actions. But this too is a part of you. Part of the sum total of a thousand experiences and relationships which have moulded the being called you.

Precisely what qualities does the Ritual unconsciously instill? It instills primarily, a concern for your brother, which manifests itself in three ways: First, a concern to guide your brother.

Each of us has his particular weaknesses and strengths. You have been endowed by God with certain abilities which another lacks. You are privileged to be able to

guide your brother in these ways, to supply strength where he is weak. Perhaps your strength is a sunny disposition. You can guide your brother when he is depressed.

Perhaps it is a strong will. You can guide your brother when he is tempted. Our ritual teaches us that we must be concerned to guide our brother.

It also teaches us that we must be concerned to assist our brother. This is particularly relevant in a day when so many people will, after the manner of the priest and the Levite in Christ's parable of the good Samaritan: "pass by on the other side." We live in a day when relationships have become impersonal, and men are expressing less and less concern for the predicament of their brothers. How refreshing in such a time is this example, found in our Ritual of assisting our brother when he is in need. True it is that man never stood so tall, as when he stoops to help a friend.

Our Ritual also teaches us that we must be concerned to defend our Brother, not only when he is present, but when he is absent. How important it is that we do not listen to criticism of our brother, when he is not present to defend himself. How vital that we do not tolerate hearing his name dragged through the mud, simply for the love of sensationalism.

If our Ritual teaches us anything, it teaches us that no man is an island unto himself, that we live in a world of people, and must be concerned with the welfare of our brother man. If you have grown in this respect, who knows how much a vital part this ritual has played, for it too is a part of all that is you.

Tom Ashe receives military citation Since its chartering in 1948 Beta Beta Chapter, Florida Southern College, has been a productive and contributing member of our Fraternity.

With its inception a strong feeling of Brotherhood and Fraternal interest was born and has continued to enrich and support the individual through an association with the intangible aspects of fraternal life.

This, the backbone of the chapter, has cultured a desire to achieve and the will to continue even in the face of adversity.

On February 23, 1961, the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs of Florida Southern College suspended Beta Beta Chapter from participation in all campus and fraternal activities for an infraction of a college ,policy. The members relying on their honest desire to regain their proper place in the fraternity system complied with all regulations placed upon them and the charter was restored on May 16, 1962.

"By your deeds, so are you known"; this statement is especially true of a fraternal organization for we are under constant scrutiny from many sources.

In what was a year of growth and rebuilding for Beta Beta, the following honors and awards were bestowed; the winning of the Annual Greek Sing (incidentally in three years of competition, Beta Beta has taken two first places and one second); the winning of the first Annual Greek Week competition; representation in Omicron Delta Kappa, Who's Who, Student Government Association, and a wide variety of honorary and professional fraternities; and last but not least, Dr. Charles T. Thrift, President of Florida Southern, presented Beta Beta Chapter with his award as the Outstanding Fraternity at Florida Southern College at the annual fraternity banquet.

It was said during the bleak days following the loss of the charter, "It doesn't matter how many times you are knocked down, the true measure is how many times you get back up." To the men who have worked for the continuance of Beta Beta's fine record, goes the salute of your fraternity.

Doug Calhoun and Joe Tomberlin Dedicated Students, Valdosta State Seniors Real Academic Pace Setters.

He's Worried About That'BY 3eta Tau Men Delight Professors

By TOMMY NEWSOM, Beta Tau Doug Calhoun, a senior at Valdosta State College, has a problem which might worry lesser men.

A big "B" is wedged among a long list of "A's" on his final grade record.

It is the lowest grade he has made during four years of study at VSC. He made the "B" in an accounting course.

This September, the 26-year-old father of three bundled his family into a car and headed for the University of North Carolina where he will do graduate work in history. He plans to earn both his masters and Ph.D degrees at the University in Chapel Hill. He has been awarded a $3,000 alumni scholarship for study at North Carolina.

Calhoun has a quality point standing of 3.97 out of a possible four. His academic feat is closely challenged by his fellow classmate and VSC history major, Joe Tomberlin, also of Beta Tau. Tomberlin has a quality point standing of 3.70 out of four. He has a few more "B's" than Calhoun and he has a $1,200 fellowship for graduate study in history at Tulane University in New Orleans.

Tomberlin and Calhoun are the type of dedicated students who warm the hearts of professors, who labor in the academic mills of the country, and who also cast great credit upon their Fraternity.

12

Calhoun passed up an NDEA fellowship to Emory University and acceptance into the graduate schools at Tulane, Duke, Stanford and the University of California to go to North Carolina.

"I feel North Carolina has the best history department," says Calhoun. He will concentrate on 19th Century European history at North Carolina, and plans to teach history at the college level after getting his Ph.D. Calhoun, a native of Perry, Florida, moved to Valdosta from California in 1959 and entered VSC. He had previously served in the U. S. Air Force.

He and his wife Jacqueline have three children—Doug Jr., 3; Amanda 2; and Dee, 1.

Since 1959, Calhoun has been going to school, making top grades, working to support his family and leading an active life in campus activities. This chief breadwinner has driven trucks, helped manage a local hotel, and handled housing problems for Moody Air Force families through his work in the Moody Housing Office. This spring he has been getting up early to earn funds by measuring cotton, corn and tobacco for the Agricultural Stabilization Conservation Service.

"I guess I have averaged four and one-half to five hours of sleep per night the last three years," he says.

Calhoun was named Man of the

Year at VSC this spring. He is also one of nine Pi Kapp Scholars. He has been active in Beta Tau Chapter, having held several offices.

Both he and Tomberlin were named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities this year. Calhoun was president of the Sigma Alpha Chi honor society. Calhoun and Tomberlin were members of Sigma Alpha Chi and Alpha Chi, which is the small college equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. Calhoun also served as editor of the V-Book and associate editor of the Campus Canopy during his time at VSC. Tomberlin, a 1955 graduate of Valdosta High School, returned to his study at VSC after four years in the U. S. Navy. He has served as Archon and Warden of Beta Tau Chapter and has also been active in the work of Circle K Club and the International Relations Club.

Tomberlin has directed the IRC radio forums for the past two years.

Both he and Calhoun are elders in the Shades of Gray, a political discussion group at VSC. Tomberlin plans to concentrate in early American History at the graduate level. He will complete his masters degree then work on his Ph.D and like Calhoun he plans to teach history at the college level.

GIFTS PROGRAM UNDER WAY Response Justifies Confidence of Leaders During the month of October all members of Pi Kappa Phi received notices of the 1962 Voluntary Gifts program which was well under way by that time.

One month later, a second notification will be sent out to all those who haven't been heard from in the meanwhile.

Alumni response to the voluntary program of support has been overwhelming and has justified the confidence of your fraternity leaders. At the outset, it was felt that some program of this type was needed to provide alumni with some means by which they could show their affection and esteem for Pi Kappa Phi. A few of the many past contributors have expressed their delight at being

able to assist. Here's what some of them say:

"It is an honor to contribute. Long live Pi Kappa Phi."

"I have always felt that the fraternity was a very important phase of my life.

I do believe that it is a good idea to establish this gift program on a voluntary basis as it will give the opportunity to those of us who feel that in some way we should help foster the fraternity program and more specifically, Pi Kappa Phi." "Best of luck to you. I'm happy to be in a position to help. We have a fraternity with worthwhile ideals. Let's continue to strive to keep the fraternity on a high plane."

"I consider it a pleasure to help in this small way."

"I hope the campaign is successful and will contribute again next year."

"I think the objectives are worthy and necessary."

"I am thoroughly in accord with the Vountary Gifts program."

"I am most indebted to the fraternity.

It has helped me to where I can, within only a few short months after graduation, give this small gift to the Voluntary Gifts program."

The Thomas Alva Edison Medal.

Engineering Professor Uses Talent To Save Lives Because of an imaginative professor emeritus of electrical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, more than 100 lives have been saved at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. William B. Kouwenhoven, Alpha Xi '29, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, is the professor. The means by which he has saved human lives is an invention of his called the defibrillator.

It is essentially an electrical shocking machine which sends a heavy charge of 440 volts coursing into the patient's body for a brief instant— just long enough to stop the heart beat for three-quarters of a second.

This interruption of a faulty heart beat allows the heart to "compose itself," so to speak, and restart with a steady rhythm.

Dr. Kouwenhoven, a boating enthusiast despite his 76 years, has described a fibrillating heart like this: "It is like a racing shell when the eight oarsmen are each rowing at a different speed. The only thing to do is stop, make a fresh start with everyone rowing at the same speed."

For his bold achievement in the treatment of a fibrillating heart by shock into rhythmic, life-sustaining beat, Dr. Kouwenhoven has received the Thomas Alva Edison Medal, highest award of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

During more than 30 years, including 14

Dr. Kouwenhoven and Life Saving Machine.

Defibrillator Lets Heart Make New Start the era when the heart was regarded as an untouchable, the professor collaborated with physicians at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

His idea was that a fibrillating heart should be shocked to a dead stop for a quarter of a second, giving it a fresh start with its muscles pulsating in unison to avoid quick death.

Not until three years after his retirement from the school of engineering did the idea come to full fruition: the first heart defibrillator effective on the unopened chest. He was then 71 years of age.

Dr. Kouwenhoven's research into the borderland between life and death was long and dramatic. The machine has saved more than 100 lives at Johns Hopkins alone and is in use in other hospitals in this country and abroad including Russia.

Once, the inventor inadvertently tried his machine out. One day when he was

greasing the electrodes an assistant threw the switch and the 440 volts flashed into his body. For three-quarters of a second his heart stopped and he was completely unconscious.

He came through the experience uninjured but to avoid another accident of this sort, special foot switches were installed.

Although Dr. Kouwenhoven served at the Johns Hopkins School of Engineering for 47 years and as dean from 1938 until his retirement in 1954, it is most noteworthy that he achieved his greatest distinction in medicine. He was appointed lecturer in surgery two years after his retirement as dean of engineering.

Dr. Kouwenhoven is one of those dedicated men who work long and hard at the task of aiding mankind.

His question has never been "What can I get out of it?" but, rather,"How can I be of service?"

Former S & L Editor Looks Back On Busy Career

Dick Young of Charlotte, N. C., one of the early editors of The Star and Lamp, can look back on an illustrious career as a newspaperman, having spent many years as City Hall reporter for the Charlotte News.

Young retired December 31, 1960, but there was still a Young on the News staff as Dick Jr. remained as managing editor, a post he held since May of 1956.

The younger Young left the News in April of this year to assume duties as assistant director of public relations for PhiIco Corporation at Philadelphia. He now resides at Rt. 2, Street Road, Doylestown, Pa. Upon his departure, News officials commented, "The News in particular and journalism in general suffered a loss with Dick Young's resignation. He has earned an excellent reputation as an imaginative, vigorous and capable news executive."

He now lives at 2021 Ashland Ave., Charlotte.

The other son, Donald, somehow missed the journalism field but found green pastures in education. After serving as a teacher at Piedmont Junior High in Charlotte, he became principal of Zeb Vance and Seversville Schools. He has since completed five years as principal of Highland elementary school in Charlotte. His home is 1628 Cromwell Court, Charlotte.

Dick Senior, who refused many promotions on the News staff because of his love of reporting, has played a big part in Pi Kappa Phi. He served as editor of The Star and Lamp for some 20 years and was a member of the Supreme Council.

He was initated at Kappa Chapter, University of North Carolina '15. Both sons attended UNC also.

The first fraternity trip he recalls was with Henry Harper to reactivate Beta Chapter at Clinton, S. C. (Presbyterian College). J. Lawton Ellis was the installing officer.

Perhaps the most memorable fraternity trip was to Berkeley, Calif. A private pullman car began in Charlotte and picked up Pi Kapps as it moved west.

"We lived in that car for three weeks except for a few days in California," Young recalls.

Attending Supreme Chapters has been quite an affair with this veteran. He was in Charleston, S. C., in 1929 for the 25th anniversary and was back in 1954 for the 50th anniversary.

16

THE THREE YOUNGS—Dick Jr., Donald, and Dick Sr.

Other Supreme Chapters have been attended in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Louisville.

Many speeches have been made by Brother Young including talks at the Louisville convention, the Chapel Hill conclave, and at Charleston.

One of the highest honors that he has received came last year when Kappa Chapter presented Young with the title "Alumnus of the Year," and had his name inscribed on a plaque which will hang on a wall of the chapter house.

Another high spot in the faithful career of this Pi Kapp was the citation of "Distinguished Service Award" given by the Supreme Chapter September 7, 1934, and signed by Albert W. Meisel, national president, and William J. Berry, national secretary.

Dick Young Junior showed his newswriting tendencies early as he reported for the Daily Tar Heel as a freshman in college.

As a sophomore he served as make-up editor and got the paper out three nights a week.

He was a member of a colony that had been organized to petition Pi Kappa Phi but the war came along and the group had to disband as the members went into the armed forces.

Later, he became reporter on the Kannapolis, N. C., Independent and the Shelby Daily Star. After wartime duty with the army signal corps, Dick returned to Shelby as news editor and soon joined the copy desk of the Charlotte News.

In 1954 he moved to Atlanta, Ga., as a staffer for Ford Motor Co. In 1956 he returned to Charlotte as managing editor of the News.

He is married to the former Martha Perry of Charlotte and they have four children: Rickey, Tina, Jean and Charles.

HE MAKES HELPING OTHERS FULL TIME JOB Helping his fellow man isn't a part time job with John C. Wilson, who has made a career of doing just that.

Wilson, who was born in Covington, Tenn., spent his early adult years as a teacher and principal before moving into disaster relief work with the American Red Cross in 1932.

Since then, he has helped bring comfort and aid to disaster stricken communities in this country and abroad.

He is a Pi Kapp initiated into Eta Chapter at Emory University in 1926.

John C. Wilson was appointed senior vice president of the American Red Cross November 1, 1958, after serving as vice president since April 1, 1951.

Prior to his transfer to the national headquarters staff, Wilson was vice president and manager of the Midwestern Area Office in St. Louis, Mo., since October 1, 1946, and before that held a similar position at the Southeastern Area Office in Atlanta, Ga. Wilson began his career in the Red Cross as executive secretary of the Tipton County (Tenn.) Chapter in 1932.

In 1934 he was assigned by the Midwestern Area as a general field representative covering Missouri chapters.

After a period as a member of the area's disaster relief and preparedness staff, he was named assistant area director of Disaster Services.

Wilson participated in most of the major disaster relief operations conducted by the Red Cross from 1934 to his appointment as senior vice president. He is a recognized authority in this field.

His experience has included service in the Republic River Valley flood of 1935, the disastrous Tupelo, Miss., tornado of the following year, the Ohio-Mississippi floods of 1937, the southwestern Arkansas tornadoes and Texas floods, the Texas City explosion, East Coast hurricanes, the Eastern and Western States floods of 1955, and the Hungarian refugee relief operation in Europe in 1956.

For his work with the Hungarian refugees, he was awarded the Grand Silver Order of Merit by the Austrian government.

In late 1941, Wilson was appointed a regional director with responsibility for chapter activities in Texas, New NOVEMBER, 1962

Queen Scheherazade and her court play a prominent part in the Riverside County Fair program. Shows are held on the Arabian Stage and in Indio, one of the leading theaters is the Aladdin.

Ben T. Laflin, a member of Gamma Chapter, Pi Kappa Phi, University of California, is the proud owner of Laflin Date Gardens which are located at Thermal, Calif. Partner Ben Jr. is also a Pi Kapp, like his father initiated into Gamma Chapter, University of California.

The Laflin date products have earned a place of high regard and acclaim in the date industry, winning awards year after year in county fair judging.

At the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival February 16-25, the Laflin Gardens won the Sweepstakes trophy plus 77 ribbons in dates alone.

Included were 26 firsts, 34 seconds, and 17 thirds, giving the Laflins a position of dominance.

Dates, grown principally in the desert area of Southern California in this country, are of Old World origin. They have the reputation of being man's oldest cultivated fruit.

They have been the staff of life to millions of persons in western Asia and northern Africa for many thousands of years. The average tree grows sixty or seventy feet high and begins bearing when it is about seven years old.

It may go on producing fruit for 200 years and so valuable are the trees in many parts of the Old World that they pass as wealth from father to son and may even form a daughter's dowry.

The first date palms in the United

States were grown from seeds planted by Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries who began founding their missions in California in 1769.

The few remaining trees are seldom more than striking landmarks as the damp costal climate was not ideal for their cultivation.

In 1890, the U. S. Department of Agriculture arranged for 68 offshoots to be imported from Egypt and Algeria.

From time to time more shoots were obtained and propagated at Experiment Stations.

These were released to private growers and commercial date cultivation, once an Old World exclusive, was shared by the New. The Deglet Noor variety from Algeria is the most common commercial variety in the United States. Recently, some of the choice and delicate dates of other areas became available in small quantity and they ar now tempting the palate of U. S. buyers.

Date growing in warm, fertile Coachella Valley is done with modern equipment and methods. One idea borrowed from the Old World is the "Date Harem."

Each acre of female date palms has one male palm presiding over it. This arrangement is necessary because of a peculiar characteristic of the date palm.

Each female blossom must be pollinated by hand. Although there is some wind pollination, this is too uncertain a process both here and in the Old World where the food supply of millions is involved.

Each year the cultivator climbs the male tree and collects the flower spaths and ties a sprig of the blossoms in each of the female bunches.

In Coachella Valley the flowers begin appearing in March and the ripe fruit is picked in late September through December. Palms are intensively irrigated and ripening fruit bunches must be covered with large paper bags to

Ben Laflin Sr. settled on the site of the present gardens in 1912 and started planting the seed which then seemed the best way to acquire an acreage. Imported shoots were scarce. Laflin found, however, as did many others, that the seedling palms were not the answer and he began removing them and replanting with known imported varieties.

Dates are classified as soft, semi-dry, and dry or bread dates. The Laflins specialize in the soft classification which may include many varieties.

The three main ones the Laflins grow are the Medjool, Barhi and Halaviy.

The Medjool has been called the "perfect date." It is a recent importation from French Morocco. Disease has wiped out the Old World supply and if it were not for Dr. Walter T. Swingle of the USDA, the variety would have perished.

Large and beautiful, the Medjool is delicious and ships and keeps tand i. well.

The Barhi, from Basra, came to the U. S. in 1913. The fruit is almost round and amber to mahogany brown when ripe. The flesh is thick, soft, smooth and translucent and the flavor is rich and delicate.

The Halawy date is medium sized, light amber in color, and sweet in taste. This is the date flavor most Americans are familiar with under the trade name of the leading importer.

In passing, other dates the Laflins offer include the Deglet Noor, Zahidi.

Khadrawy, Dayri, and Amir Hajj.

The Amir Hajj is the real delicacy— a date with thin, tender skin covering thick soft flesh, rich in flavor and called the "visitors' date" because it is generally presented to guests who visit in northern Iraq. It originated in the Mandali Oasis of Iraq and was not imported until 1929. It is still extremely rare in this country.

"Booster of Old South .. ."

HEWEN A. LASSETER

A friendly fellow is H. S. Wimbish, Jr., of Greensboro, N. C., who makes his home on Friendly Road and makes his spending money by selling off the old Confederacy, bit by bit.

Bunny, as he is known in Greensboro, likes to be regarded as a 100 per cent Southerner with an abundance of faith in the South and the Confederacy.

This booster of the old South is a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. He belongs to Tau chapter, '58, North Carolina State College.

His faith is such that over the past few years he has collected land as a hobby—like others collect postage stamps, old phonograph records, old cars, antiques, etc.

His collecting probably has made him unique in this land which now is observing the centennial of the Civil War. Wimbish owns exactly one acre of land in each of states of the Confederacy—Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

And buying-just an even acre isn't as. easy as it might seem.

In fact, Wimbish said he encountered all kinds of difficulties.

His holdings extend from Patrick County, Va., to Key West, Fla., and that's about as far south as one can go and still stay in the Confederacy.

With the Civil War Centennial plans making headway, another idea came to Wimbish: Why not share with others this ownership of land in each of the 11 Confederate States?

The idea jelled and Unlimited Lands Corporation of Greensboro was born.

With the help of George Arnold, Greensboro artist, a novel deed of ownership in the Confederate States of America was created. The deed bears the battleflag of the Confederacy and the flag of each of the Confederate States in order of secession and the date.

The deed conveys to the purchaser one square inch of land in each of the Confederate States for a grand total of 11 square inches of property in the Confederacy.

It furthermore, by virture of ownership of this land, "commissions" the purchaser a "colonel" in the Confederate Army.

The deed is printed in five colors and bears the names of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America; Alexander H. Stephens, vice-president; L. P. Walker, secretary of War; and Generals Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson.

And that's not all. One will go to President John Kennedy in an effort to make a 100 percent Southerner out of him since he now has a home in Virginia and a vacation place in Palm Beach, Fla. Wimbish learned to love the beauty of the Southern states in the early 1930s while traveling for the old Vick Chemical Co., now Richardson-Merrell Co. His work took him to the most remote country store in the Southern hinterland, giving him further opportunity to view the beauties of the land that most persons missed.

Always

Have Something To Do ...

Ellison ROBERT ELLISON

Ever wonder just who builds the mighty bridges that span this country's rivers and bays?

One of the band of dedicated engineers who is in charge of bridge construction on the West Coast is Robert Ellison, Alpha Zeta, '49, Oregon State College.

He makes his home at Rt. 3, Box 148, Astoria, Ore. Ellison is special resident bridge engineer in charge of construction of the $24 million Astoria-Megler bridge over the Columbia River on Highway 101.

That bridge will be one of the longest —4.1 miles—in the United States. It will be designed to withstand gusts of 150 miles an hour from Pacific storms.

Ellison is a tall, slim, crew-cut man of 35. For the past five years he has been one of two resident bridge engineers in the State Highway Dept. office in Eugene. Now about to assume a position of major engineering responsi-

24

bility, he almost wasn't an engineer at all.

When he finished high school in Portland in 1943, Ellison went to work in the Vancouver shipyards as a draftsman. He had done well in mechanical drawing in high school. He liked drafting, he could do it well, and he was not thinking particularly of going to college.

"At the shipyards, however . . . they told me that draftsmen were a dime a dozen . . ." Ellison recalled in an interview. He soon decided to go to college.

Beginning at Multnomah College in Portland, Ellison went on to Oregon State College. He graduated in 1948 after a brief interval of Army duty. He majored in structures in the civil engineering field.

Immediately Ellison started as an engineer-in-training with the State Highway Dept. He subsequently followed the normal departmental career, moving from

position to position and office to office across the state.

Since moving to Eugene, Ellison has been involved in such projects as the Willamette River bridge at Springfield, the tunnel work on Route F, and most recently the Judkins Point bridge over the Willamette on the Pacific Freeway.

Off the job Ellison is one whose curiosity leaves no room for boredom.

He lists among his avocations and hobbies skin diving, elementary electronics, photography, fishing, and camping with the family.

His reading hours also find him branching into materials outside of the usual technical journals. His library includes a text on electronic computers, science fiction stories, and historical novels.

"I don't understand people who say they can't find anything to do," Ellison smiles. "I could quit tomorrow and I wouldn't run out of things to do until . . . well, until I died."

Florida Professor Best Friend Of Green Sea Turtle Transporting 17,000 baby ambassadors of good will to the Caribbean area sounds like a tremendous job but to Dr. Archibald F. Carr, Jr., it was a rather routine assignment.

Carr, a member of Epsilon '28, University of Florida, has become chief promulgator of the green sea turtle in the LatinAmerican waters south of the United States.

He heads a volunteer, non-profit organization entitled "Caribbean Conservation Corporation," which devotes its time and energies to restoring the green turtle to its former place of prominence as a sea delicacy in the warm waters of LatinAmerica.

The baby turtles have been transplanted to 17 localities as part of a long range program designed to restore the turtle to his former throne.

In the first two turtle drives, some 32,000 turtles were delivered to new homes. The original drive took place in 1960 and transported 15,500 turtles. In 1961, 17,000 were given the royal treatment.

The turtles, nearly extinct in the Caribbean, were air-lifted dramatically by a U. S. Navy amphibian aircraft. They were sped gently and swiftly to their destinations by means of a conveyance which was previously unknown to many of the coastal dwellers.

These baby turtles have been and are being raised at the

only major nesting site left in the Caribbean—Tortuguero, Costa Rica—and the hatchlings are carried annually to fisheries and local conservation officials in the Bahamas, the Antille, and coastal Latin American communities where they are released to start a new life and a prolific one it is hoped.

Dr. Carr first began casting his gaze toward the Tortuguero colony in 1955 as the National Science Foundation awarded him a grant for this study. Corporation spokesmen are optimistic for success of their venture and expect to note a resurgence of the sea turtle within six years.

While these babies weigh only an ounce or so in the hatchling stage and three to six pounds as yearlings, they have a long time to develop and often grow into massive 400 pounders. By reaching such proportions, the turtles constitute a valuable addition to the economy of the lands in their area as a food source.

A reasonably hardy creature, the green turtle found his kind in dire jeopardy because of the ravages of men in search of eggs and the easily-caught female turtles on their nests, Dr. Carr points out.

The Florida educator first called attention to the rapidly disappearing species in his 1956 book, "The Windward Road."

A group of interested citizens from the U. S. and Latin America, having read his book, joined forces to form the Brotherhood of the Green Turtle, later incorporating the Caribbean Conservation Corporation and dedicating their memberships to the restoration project.

Even the U. S. government has become interested and the Office of Naval Research has gotten into the picture by furnishing the navy plane used for the airlifts.

As the "Florida Alumnus" points out, Dr. Carr, distinguished graduate professor, biologist, and new voice for the turtle . . . continues to delve into the mysteries of the ocean's amphibians with the zeal and a cumen of dedication.

The Snider Brothers Can Help ... if it's insurance

ROBERT SNIDER WAYNE SNIDER If you have an insurance problem the chances are one of the three Snider brothers can help you.

These three members of Alpha Delta, University of Washington, have made insurance their career and each has chosen a different aspect of the field.

Brother Wayne is in the educational end of it as assistant professor of insurance, Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, University of Pennsylvania.

Ralph operates on the company level, introducing new policies and coverages to agents in the states of Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Utah.

Robert prefers to sell direct to the public and has his own agency in Olympia, Wash., where he has been located for the past 12 years.

All three were active on campus at the University of Washington. Robert and Wayne were the athletes, winning letters in football and basketball. Robert rowed for three years on the varsity crew. Ralph busied himself with campus politics and served on a number of committees.

Wayne, Alpha Delta '42, makes his home at 187 Beneget St., Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia 18, Pa. He was married in January of 1961 to Milne Dice Desmond. Stepchildren are Biffy 16, and Kenneth 11.

In addition to his teaching, Wayne has found time to write two books on insurance and is completing a third. Also, a number of magazine articles dealing with risk management have flowed from his pen.

He was awarded the Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955.

Ralph, Alpha Delta, '27, resides at 4210 N. 25th St., Tacoma, Wash.

He is married to the former Frances Rawson, Delta Zeta, who also attended the University of Washington. They have two sons, both lieutenants in the navy and two grandchildren.

Ralph has been busy with a number of activities during recent years. Some of these include past president of National Office Management Assn. chapters in Portland and Tacoma, membership in Municipal League of Tacoma, Izaak Walton League, trustee of the local Republican Club, and member of several committees of Mason Methodist Church.

His hobby is Indian artifacts and crafts. These have been displayed at fairs, schools and commercial displays.

Brother Robert, Alpha Delta '32, has devoted his entire 26

RALPH SNIDER life to insurance in one form or another and even had as his father-in-law an insurance man.

For several years, Robert was employed by the state of Washington in the Unemployment Insurance Division. After a break for navy duty in World War II, he took part in the Veterans Administration insurance program.

Later came a venture into the general insurance field in association with Lyle N. Jenks, Alpha Delta, in Seattle. After two years with Robert Jenks, Robert opened his own agency in Olympia and this business has flourished since.

He is married to the former Margaret Lyng. They have no children. Her father, the late H. C. Lyng, was an independent insurance adjuster for 30 years in Spokane.

DR. M. E. BROOM AT WORK NOVEMBER, 1962

BROOM VERSATILE TYPE Optometrist, psychologist, educator, lecturer and author, are titles that could be bestowed upon Mybert E. Broom, president of Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tenn.

The versatile Dr. Broom, who seems to be interested in just about everything, makes his home at 43 South Merton St. in Memphis. He is a Member of Pi Kappa Phi, Upsilon '21, University of Illinois.

Dr. Broom entered the field of education in 1919 as a teacher and worked his way up the professional ladder into administrative work. For 36 years, he served in public and private school systems plus colleges and universities.

Since 1921, he has written or coauthored eight books and has produced some 200 articles published in educational, psychological and optometric journals. Book reviews and editorials also flowed from the pen of this prolific writer.

In 1931, Dr. Broom branched out into public speaking and has since given numerous talks before national, regional and state groups.

During World War II, psychology was one of his chief concerns, serving as-Military Psychologist and Aviation Psychologist. He headed the psychology section of the Medical and Psychological Examining Unit, Amarillo AFB, Tex. He also headed the Guidance Section of the Veterans Administration regional office in San Antonio, Tex., for four years.

Some of his educational achievements include: A.B. degree from the University of Illinois, 1921.

M.A. degree from the University of Illinois, 1924.

Ph.D., University of Southern California, 1931.

He was presented an honorary doctorate from the Southern College of Optometry in 1959—Doctor of Ocular Science.

In 1942, he was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 1951 he was made a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry.

Fraternities of which Dr. Broom is a member include Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Delta Kappa, Pi Gamma Mu, Psi Chi, Kappa Delta Pi and Beta Sigma Kappa.
