Is there anything wrong with th hie . lip~ current American way of life? ThI col critical look at our American seen cor has attracted the attention c to many. Non-political in its aP be, proach, the speaker, Jenkin LloY' ha• pre Jones, Editor of the Tulsa, OkiC swj homo, TRIBUNE, and a member o Phi Gamma Delta, warns Ameti rne cans of our moral decadence. W Ho sta of the Fraternity World must b loa concerned with his subject. Not tr one do so would be distastrous. ~ng The following is from the tei rne YOl of an address by Mr. Jones, de sch livered before the Inland Dail the Press Association in Chicago. sch

WHICH WAY

AMERICA

rve wh, kid to der hur on

a c Long before the prophet Jeremiah uttered his lamentations about the vile behavior of the children of Israel, the world had seen many calamity howlers. We have cuneiform tablets describing the moral decay of Babylon and Chaldea. We have hieroglyphic inscriptions predicting that Osiris and Ra will smite the Egyptians for their wickedness. And so, when I rise today and make some comments about the moral climate of America and about our responsibilities therefor as temporary custodians of America's press, I speak in o very old tradition. The calamity howler! It is customary to dismiss such fogey-ism as I am about to display with a tolerant laugh. For, while it was freely predicted all through the oges that the world was going to hell, it hasn't gone to hell yet. Who can deny that in practically all the crafts and certainly all of the sciences we are farther advanced than we ever have been? Why not be cheerfully optimistic? I think I can tell you why: Human progress has never been steady. It hos washed back and forth like w aves upon a beach. Happily, there has also been an incoming tide, so the waves have washed higher and higher os each great civilization come on .

But the pathway of history is littered with the bones of dead states and fall en empires. And they were not, in most cases, promptly replaced by something better. Nearly a thous and years elapsed be tween the fall of Western Rome and the rise of the Renaissance, and in between we hod the Dark Ages in which nearly all of man's institutions were inferior to those which had gone before. I don't want my children's children to go through a couple of centuries of dialectic materialism before the su n comes up again . So the Jeremiahs haven't been so wrong, after all. It is sad to watch the beginnings of decay. It is sod to see an Ag e of Pericles re placed by the drunken riots of Al cibiades. There was, indeed, just cause for gloom when into the palaces of the Caesars went Nero and Caligula , and whe n the once-noble Praetorian Guard became o gang of assassins willing to se ll the throne to the top bidder. Alaric 's Goths finally poured over the walls of Rome . But it was not that the walls were low. It was that Rome itself w as low. The sensual life of Pompeii, the orgies on Lake Trasimene, the gradually weakened fiber of a onceself-disciplined people that reduced

For the funny thing about " progressIVe educators" is that theory vonishes wk_hen the referee 's whistle blows for the lck-off. In the classroom they pretend to grade subjectively, against the stu~ent_' ~ supposed capacity, lest he be urnil1ated by natural inadequacy.

EDITOR'S NOTE A professor at the University of Michigan has recently issued a report, following "years of educational research," which indicates that teachers are spending too much lime exercising discipline over their pupils. He indicates thai this will incur a great danger in the future, for it leads to an acceptance of authority. The learned professor should be reminded that the great danger in the future comes from juveniles who do not accept authority; from disorderly people who invite authoritarian rule by not having learned the necessity of a disciplined life; not from the child that understands and accepts authority. A refreshing opposite view is taken by Dr. Max Rafferty, a Californian, who has wrillen a book entitled, " Suffer lillie Children." Under our "progressive educational" systems around the nation, Dr. Rafferty contends we are producing "the triumphant slob," whose "sole interests are sadism, sex, and speed." How has the school promoted this product of the "progressive" system : "By destroying the hierarchy of values which placed mastery of specific subject molter in a position of paramount importance, we have persuaded these already confused minds that nothing in life, including life itself, is of any particular importance. We have required them to go to school, but we have not required them to do any work. Instead, we have created special 'courses' wherein they might sprawl and leer in company with one another, and where constructive learning is laughed out of court. To the slob, life is a dirty joke, with school the cream of the jest and educators the buffoons."

a cow. That takes at least a sign painter's abil ity. But you can claim to paint a picture of your psyche and, no matter what the result, who is to say what your psyche looks like? So our museums are filled with daubs being stared at by confused citizens who haven't the guts to admit they are confused .

WE WERE A TREMENDOUS PEOPLE! But the age of Fakery in art is a mild cross that American civilization bears. Much more serious is our

collapse of moral standards and the blunting of our capacity for righteous indignation. Our Puritan ancestors were preoccupied with sin . They were too preoccupied with it. They were hag-ridden and guilt-ridden and theirs was a repressed and neurotic society. But they had horsepower. They wrested livings from rocky land, built our earliest colleges, started our literature, caused our industrial revolution, and found time in between to fight the Indians, the French and the British, to bawl for abolition , women 's suffrage and prison reform, and to experiment with graham crackers and bloomers. They were a tremendous people. And for all their exaggerated attention to sin, their philosophy rested on a great granite rock. Man was the master of his soul. You didn't have to be bad . You could and should be better. And if you wanted to escape the eternal fires you'd damned well better be.

In recent years all this has changed in America. We hove decided that sin is largely imoginory. We hove become enamored with "behavioristic psychology." This holds that a man is a product of his heredity and his environment, and his behavior to a Iorge degree is foreordained by both. He is either a product of a happy combination of genes and chromosomes or on unhappy combination. He moves in on environment that will tend to make him good or that will tend to make him evil. He is just a chip tossed helplessly by forces beyond his control oAd, therefore, not responsible. Well, the theory that misbehavior con be cured by pulling down tenements and erecting in their places elaborate public housing is not holding water. The crime rates continue to rise along with our outlays for social services. We speak of underprivilege. Yet the young men who swagger up and down the streets, boldly flaunting their gong symbols on their block jackets, ore for more blessed in creature comforts, opportunities for advancement, and freedom from drudgery than 90 per cent of the children of the world. We hove sown the dragon's teeth of pseudoscientific sentimentality, and out of the ground has sprung the legion bearing switch-blade knives and bicycle choins. MISSING-THE DOCTRINE OF INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

Clearly something is missing. Could it be what the rest of the world's children hove been given-the doctrine of individual responsibility? Relief is gradually becoming on honorable career in America. It is a pretty fair life, if you hove neither conscience nor pride. The politicians will weep over you. The state will give a mother a bonus for her illegitimate children, and if she neglects them sufficiently she con save enough out of her ADC (Aid to Dependent Children) payments to keep herself and her boy friend in wine and gin. Nothing is your fault. And when the city fathers of a harassed community like Newburgh suggest that able-bodied welfare clients might sweep the streets, the " liberal" editorialists arise as one man and denounce them for their medieval cruelty. I don 't know how long Americans con stand this erosion of principle. But I believe that some of my starry-eyed friends ore kidding themselves when they pretend that every plane-load of 2

I never heard of one put together by cho-cho-cho. The welfare state that t-axes away the rewards for responsible behavior so that it can remove the age-old penalties for irresponsible behavior is building on a foundation of jelly. It is time we stopped this elaborate pretense that there is no difference between the genuinely unfortunate and the mobs of reliefers who start throwing bottles every time the cops try to make a legitimate arrest. THEY CALL IT REALISM

Finally, there is the status of our entertainment and our literature. Can anyone deny that movies ore dirtier than ever? But they don't call it dirt. They call it "realism." Why do we let them fool us? Why do we nod owlishly when they tell us that filth is merely a daring art form, that licen-

violence, cynicism and sadism piped into the living room and even the nursery. The grandchildren of the kids who used to weep because the Little, Match Girl froze to death now feel cheated if she isn't slugged, raped and thrown into a Bessemer converter. And there's our literature. The old eye-poppers of the past, which tourists used to smuggle back from Paris under their dirty shirts, are now tame stuff. Compared to some of our modern slush, " Ulysses" reads like the minutes of the Epworth League. "Lady Chatterly's Lover" has been draped with the mantle of art, and it is now on sale in the corner drugstore to your highschool-age son or daughter for 50 cents. Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer," which resembles a collection of inscriptions taken from privy walls is about to join Lady Chatterly. The quickbuck boys have apparently convinced our bumfuzzled judges that there is no difference between a peep show and a moral lecture. And, of course, we have our latterday historical nove ls in which the romance of man's upward movement from savagery is lost in a confused welter of bundlings and tumblings. The foreign reader of one of these epics on the development of the American West must marvel that our forefathers found time to quell the Comanches, plow up Kansas and build the transcontinental railroad, while spending practically all

their time in the hay. Don Maxwell of the Chicago "Tribune" has recently asked his book department to quit advertising scatological literature by including it in the list of best sellers. The critics and the book publishers have denounced him for tampering with the facts. I would like to raise a somewhat larger question: "Who is tampering with the soul of America?" For nations do have souls. They have collective personalities. People who think well of themselves collectively exhibit elan and enthusiasm and morale.

AMERICANS MUST BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES When nations cease believing in themselves, when they regard their institutions with cynicism and their traditions with flippancy, they will not long remain great nations. When they seek learning without effort and wages without work, they are beginning to stagger. Where they become hedonistic and pleasure-oriented, when their Boy Scouts on their 14-mile hikes start to hitch, there's trouble ahead . Where payola becomes a way of life, expenseaccount cheating common, and union goonery a fiercely defended "right", that nation is in danger. And where police departments attempt to control burglary by the novel method of making it a department monopoly, then the chasm yawns. Do not let me overdraw the picture. This is still a great, powerful, vibrant, able, optimistic nation. Americans do believe in themselves and their country. But there is rot and there is blight and there is cutting out and filling to be done if we, as the leader of free men, ore to survive the hammer blows which quite plainly are in store for us all. We have reached the stomach-turning point. We have reached the point where we should re-examine the debilitating philosophy of permissiveness. Let this not be confused with the philosophy of liberty. The school system that permits our children to develop a quarter of their natural ta lents is not a champion of our liberties. The healthy man who chooses to loaf on unemployment compensations is not a defender of human freedom. The playwright who would degrade us and the author who would profit from pandering to the worst that's in us are no friends of ours. 3

IT IS TIME WE HIT THE SAWDUST TRAIL

It is time we revived the idea that there is such a thing as sin-just plain old willful sin. It is time we brought self-discipline back into style. So I suggest: let's look to our educational institutions at the local level, and, if Johnny can't read by the time

he's ready to get married, let's find out why. let's look at the distribution of public largesse and if, far from alleviating human misery, it is producing the sloth and irresponsibility that intensifies it, let's get it fixed. let's quit being bulldozed and bedazzled by self-appointed longhairs. let's have the guts to say that a book is dirt if that's what we think of it, or that a painting may well be a daub if you can't figure out which way to hang it. And if some beatnik welds together a collection of rusty cogwheels and old corset stays and claims it's a greater sculpture than Michelangelo's " David ", let's have the courage to say that it looks like junk and probably is. let's blow the whistle on plays that would bring blushes to an American legion stag party. let's not be awed by movie characters with barnyard morals, even if some of them have been photographed climbing abroad the presidential yacht. let us pay more attention in our news columns to the

decent people everywhere who c trying to do something for the goof others. In short, let's cover up t cesspool and start planting some flowe I never dreamed I'd go oro~ sounding like an advance man for t Watch and Ward Society. I used consider myself quite a liberal you man. I still think that on some peal bikinis look fine. But I am fed up to here with I educationists and pseudosocial scien~ who have underrated our potential a people.

Scholarship should be, in fact it MUST

on scholarship

be more than just getting above the required average to stay off probation. It should be an " atmosphere " within the house and an attitude on the part of each member. I am not suggesting that you turn the chapter house into a classroom or study hall, but good scholarship and a serious attitude toward it must be emphasized regularly. The objective should be to create a constructive atmosphere that will permeate the house constantly. Setting this tone is the job of each Brother. You can't talk about the importance of study and not have regular hours during the evening when the house will be quiet. You can 't talk about the importance of good grades to pledges and then require them to spend countless hours running errands for the actives and putting in work hours. You cannot give a pl edge what you do not have yourself. You cannot expect him to do what you are not capable of doing also. The primary objective of any university or college is to impart knowledge. Anything that distracts from or is contrary to this objective will be eliminated sooner or later. Therefore, it is simply a matter of survival for each chapter to cons~antly strive to improve its scholastic position on campus. Quoting from the Scholarship Committee's report, "Good chapter leader-

ship will not tolerate extremely poor scholarship on the part of the active members." Archons and Executive Committees take note! Scholarship is important to every Chapter and to every member. Let' s do something about it! One final point. A generation ago, the Bell System made its first study of the per~ormance of its college graduates compared to their scholastic performance in college. Their resu Its showed that proportionally, good scholars had progressed further in the Company than poor ones. In more recent years, the records of 17,000 college graduates in the Bell System were compared. The results show that the single most reliable indicator of the individual's degree of success in the Company was his rank in his graduating class. Scholarship IS important to every member and IS a responsib>ility of each Chapter. I ex pect our scholarship report next year to show a marked improvement, IF each of you do something about it. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi ,

II R UARY,

1963

Alpha goes into 1963 with an air of confidence. Under the experienced hand of second semester archon Tom Price we expect to continue the success of the fall semester. Following a summer and pre-school mad whirl of work, the chapter house has taken on a new look with many additions of furniture. We pledged seventeen as a result of a very successful rush season. Immediately after rush Brothers Larry Gorman and Ted King were initiated. Preceding the Christmas holidays the chapter was treated to the annual PledgeActive party given by the pledges. The active chapter topped all the year's activities willh the annual Founders' Day celebration, this year a stag steak supper. Held December lOth at the Craig Student Union, the supper was highlighted by a talk by Dr. Harry Freeman of Alpha, Professor of Biology at the College.

As many of our Brothers around the Greenville, S. C., area already know, Greek Letter Social Fraternities have been banned from Furman University. This came as a hard blow to all persons on campus. Pi Kappa Phi was hard hit in that we were just on the way up. But what's done is done. The fraternities on campus have decided that we would form local Social Clubs. Even though we will not have the same sense of tradition, we feel that this is better than nothing at all. Delta Chapter has decided to call its dub The Star and Lamp Club. The National Office has been most kind to us in this time of trouble, and we wish to thank •them for their efforts. We will be permitted to retain our Charter until such time as all brothers will have left. Our Founders' Day celebration was held on December 10, 1962, at which Brother Bernard Osteen, Greenville, S. C., was presented with the Pi Kapp Scholarship Award. Congratulations are certainly due to Brother Osteen. Bernard is the present Archon of Delta Chapter. Miss Carol Norman of Greenwood was elected as our new Rose at the beginning of the year. Miss Norman will be wed late this summer to Brother Conolly Burgess, Greenwood. John Nix, of Brunson, S. C., our "youngest" and last brother, was initiated early last fall. This initiation will be the last one that Delta Chapter will hold due to the school's ruling, at least for the next few years.

Epsilon Chapter was pleased to receive on September 16, the following men as pledges: Roy Allison, Hope, Arkansas; Pete Burton, Madison, N. C.; Ken Childs, Greenville, S. C.; Eddie Craig, Lancester, S. C.; John Crawford III, Franklin, N. C.; Bill Daisy, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Decker Faw, Salisbury, Md. ; Stephen Grapham, Florence, S. C.; Mike Harrington, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Fred Lewis, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Tom Peadon, Jacksonville, Fla.; Doug Pratt, Charlotte, N. C.; Mark Waldon, Ocala, Fla.; Bert Whisenant, Morganton, N. C. The Chapter congratulates Brother Bill Hagen on his election to the post of editor of the Davidsonian, the student news and editorial voice of Davidson College. Brother Hagen has also been named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. 6

Pledging 33 men in fall rush, this year Kappa has been trying to acclimate itself to thinking in terms of a house of 50 rather than 30 as in times past. Anticipating a faculty-inforced deferred rush program to be initiated in 1964, the Chapter went al l-out and pledged eight more men. than our prescribed goal. To accommodate this great ly increased number, new furniture and kitchen facilities have been added to the house. On D ecember 9 Kappa combined a Parents' D ay with the observance of Founders' D ay. Dean Charles Henderson of UNC delive red the main address which centered around the role of fraternities in a modern coll ege or University. That aftern oo n the Alumnus of the Year award given ann ually by the chapter was presented to Brother Otis R. McCollum, Kappa '52, for his work in initiating the forming of a Kappa Alumni Gift Fund.

Mu Chapter fo ll owed the regu lar plan of act1v1t1es thi s semester. having a well planned socia l schedule, climaxed by the formal Rose Ball , participation in ath letics, and a plan oi study both for brothers and assoc iates. We hope to retain ou r number l rating on campus in the area of scholarship this semester. Mu has many men in importa nt and responsible positions on campus . They are the following: Tuck Forsyth-President of Inter-Fraternity Council Jim O'Kelly-Treas . YMCA Mike Roberson- Pres. WMCA Ray Vickery-Treas. MSGA (Men's student Gov.)

DUKE RECEIVES EDINGTON AWARD Mu Chapter, at Duke University, has contributed greatly to Pi Kappa Phi over the years. This past year they were one of our National Champion Chapters. Recent scholarship reports from the NIC have indicated further contribution. This past year, Mu Chapter, with 71 members, led all Pi Kapp Chapters in scholastic efforts. To recognize this excellence, Mu Chapter has been awarded the Will E. Edington Award for 1961-1962. Named after our National Scholarship Chairman, it is intended to perpetuate his ideals and devotion in the form of a permanent Scholarship memorial. Duke is no newcomer in receiving this award, having had the honor of being its first recipient in 1958, followed by Rho, Washington and Lee in 1959, Gamma, California in 1960, and Beta Upsilon, Virginia, this past year.

HU Rush Week brought Nu chapter nine pledges, all of whom show great promise as future Pi Kapps. In addition, Robert McKee, Montgomery, Alabama, was initiated into the brotherhood this fall. Undergraduates and alums united to convey their gratitude to the chapter advisor at ''Oscar Koch Appreciation Day." Brother Koch of Lincoln, who graduated in 1924, was instrumental in effecting the reactivation of Nu chapter in 1949. Since that time, he has given unselfishly of himself for the betterment of the chapter and the individual man. The Nebraska Cornhuskers sprang into action this season with a push from our new coach, Bob Devaney, to come through with an 8-2 record and third place in Big 8 competi· tion. Disappointment of losing to Missouri at homecoming was diminished for the Pi Kapps by winning third place in the men's division of house decorations. A pledge dressed as a Missouri tiger was sent through the trap door of a 13-foot high gallows every three minutes to appear seconds later hanging below the scaffold. Homecoming At Nebraska

TAU SCHOLARSHIP IMPROVEMENT MERITS HOUSER AWARD North Carolina State at Raleigh, N. C, holds a distinct position in the fraternity world at the present time. It is one of a select few schools at which all fraternities on campus are above the All-Men's scholastic average. Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is to be congratulated for being the top fraternity in scholarship on such a campus. This position is even more noteworthy when we consider the fact that their scholastic improvement over the preceding year was sufficient to see them awardtd the Karl M. Gibbon Award for 1962The Gibbon Award was created by the 29th Supreme Chapter to recognize a chapter's scholastic improvement rather than its overall excellence. Chi Chapter at Stetson received this award in 1960, followed by Lambda at Georgia this past year.

~iJent JeimJe, aUd4 p4i Psi Chapter was very grateful for the opportunity to meet the new National President and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. John W . Deimler, when they visited Ithaca December 8th and 9th . Also visiting Psi at the same time was Mr. Ted Scharfenstein, Assistant Executive Secretary. This is the second time within a year that Psi has been honored with a visit by the National President, since past President ]. AI Head was a guest last year. All the brothers look forward to these v·isits as they place the distant National Officers on a personal , informal basis. Founders' Day was observed with a formal dinner December 10. Many Ithaca area alumni were invited and several of those who attended were the original founders of Psi chapter. Ted Scharfenstein was guest of honor at the dinner . Psi had a very successful fall rush , pledging four men. Since Cornell has a deferred rush system, fall rush includes only those upperclassmen who did not pledge the previous spring. The members of ·the pledge class are: Allison (Huck) Mann, sophomore engineer from Plattsburgh, New York; Dan Marcellus, sophomore chemistry major from Middleton, New York; James Moreau, junior engineer from Houston, Texas; and Chris Russo, sophomore Hotel student from Montclair, New Jersey.

~ ~ lleptV/,iecl. On the eve of this letter's writing, the brothers of Omega wiH be enjoying the nineteen sixty-two Rose Ball. This year the Ball is being held at Morris Bryant Ball Room. The Sweetheart. to be crowned at the Ball is Jeannine Winter, of Phi Mu sorority. Jeannine is senior Bob Barton's fiancee. Just last week, the brothers threw a Christmas decorating party, and the house is now dressed to complement the Christmas spirit of the brothers. Brother Dennis Trescott has just been elected as business manager of this year's Junior Prom. Brother Pres Clayton is this semester's rush chairman. He has rush organized so that we are in full swing right now. We hope to pledge twenty-five men this semester. Chi's New Home

ince last spring, Alpha Zeta chapter has made great stri des forward, both in rush and in house activ ities. Our annu al Rose Ball last spring was, as usual , the best function on th e 0 U campus. We too k over an entire restau rant for o ur formal dinner before the dance, as the entire house had been decorated in our usual Southern garden type theme. The highlight of th e evening was the crowning of Mi ss Barbara Pedley, a fres hman from Upland, California, as the 1962 Rose of Alpha Zeta of Pi Kappa Phi. The next day the whole party moved to the beach in a chartered bus for a day of well -ea rned relaxation in the sun. This fa ll , we started the year by pledgi ng sixteen men in formal rush . This, plus o ur four returning pledges, plus four more men we have gained up to this point in informal rush, gives us a pledge class of twenty-four men, ten o f whom, are from California. The house is near capacity, and , as such , is full of good spirit(s). The fellowship between member and pledge is such that the members are always cooking up some little thoughtful surprise for the pledges. The pledges, bl ess their little hearts, always try to reciprocate. For examp le, as a delightful little joke, they put up a keg of our favorite beverage as the prize for the annual Mud Bowl {pledge- member football game.) The members, onl y too g lad to go a long with the joke, cheerfully annihilated the pledges, 52-6. Our fall term house dance was an innovation, break ing several o ld Alph a Zeta traditions. Instead of decorating our basement party- room area to the hilt, and using taped mu sic, we spent the money which would have gone for decorations on a good stompi ng combo, cleared a ll the furniture off th e first deck, a nd turned everyone loose. By Tuesday mo rning, when we'd turned everybody up aga in, th e consensus was that the dance was a bit of a swi nger. Naturally, we don't plan to slow down o ur pace in th e least over the next two terms. Our Founders' D ay dinner will be put off to January 4th, si nce the middl e of finals week is a bit of a bad time for a banquet. We will combine the dinner with a workshop with th e members of Alpha Omega colony, then top it off with a good o ld -fashioned fireside the next night.

Al pha Iota began the Fall Quarter with rush and as a result the fo ll owi ng men were pledged: D oug Adams, Montgomery, Al a.; Don Cole, Mobi le, Ala.; John Bayliss, Birmingh:!m, Ala.; Mike Bumgarner, Montgomery, Ala.; Paul Burns, Mobile, Al a.; herwood Fannin, M ontgomery, Al a.; Sam Irby, Fairhope, Al a.; Joe M anring, Fo ley, Ala.; Jim Ma rtin , Actworth, Ga.; Eddi e Newbern, Bremen , Ga.; Charles Philips, Auburn , Ala.; Robert Pyle, Mob il e, Al a.; Richard Robertson, Pel!

Fall Quarter at Auburn University is one which is packed with activities, sport events, parties, campus elections, parties, and, of course, the pursual of know ledge {in some casesacademic). One of the hi gh lig hts is the Freshman Pajama Parade with a Wreck Tech theme. Our pl edges, after dili gent work with some high-flying ideas, participated onl y to have a cloudburst turn a bright crepe paper decorated fl oat into a mass of soggy paper and a brightly decorated pledge cl ass. tudent Elections insured th e reign of Brother James Thomas of Birmingham as the Vice President of the schoo l o f Pharmacy. The football season saw Brother Phil M ed lin of M eba ne, N.

new kitchen sinks, which will mark the completion of all house improvements which have been planned to date. On the sports scene, Alpha Tau was well-represented "on the hill" by varsity footballers Michael Gordon and John Woodhead and by wing Edwin Rhodes on the soccer team. Meanwhile our house football team was busy fighting its way to the interfraternity football finals , where we lost a tough 6-0 decision to Theta Chi, to become runner-up to the IF football champions. Also in interfraternity sports. our golf team captured a second place in the league and our hockey team seems well on the way to a playoff berth this year . Socially, we are happy to report the success of our annual mixer with the women of Russell Sage Co ll ege, soon followed by two very profitable rushing parties, and the celebration of our Homecoming Weekend. At this weekend we were very happy to welcome back alumni Richard Rogers, Anthony Minutaglio, Richard Worth, Barry Burbank, Jeff Kucsma. John Cikut and Frank DeSimone. Finally we have the pinnings of Brothers Jerome Schmid. Allen Weston , Erik Pedersen, Joseph Gahm, Robert Chatfield and George Siciliano; also the marriages of Brothers Kenneth Kuffner, Richard Worth. and Ken Gill , as well as the addition of a baby boy to the family of Brother Kenneth Geremia.

After three summer rush parties and a very successful rush week Alphi Phi has a p ledge class consisting of 19 men for the fall semester. Fol lowing this good start the Pi Kapps won the Greek Week tournam ent for the second year in a row. During this week the social fraternities on campus compete in various games which include a water fight, tug of war. soap box derby , various games. a nd a bike race. For their efiorts the brothers and pledges were awarded a large trophy. Two of our brothers received National Science Foundation Research Grants this past summer. Dale Rolfsen studied math ematics. and Eric Scheel studied electrical engineering. Both of the brothers received 60 a week to finance their study. Our chapter paper. the Alpha Philcs. won the President's Plaque for being the outstanding chapter newspaper for the l96l-1962 school year. This award was presented to us along with a Master Chapter Award at the last Supreme Chapter Meeting. During H e lp Wef:k thi> y.:ar. the brothers of Alpha Phi painted a comm unity house for underprivileged children on Chicago·s South Side. The event was publicized in four Chicago papers, and by a local television station. Besides g iving the chapter some publicity this possibly helped create a better public opinion of th e tntire fraternity sys~em.

kia eta audi,o.,u ~ anri J~ We at Beta Alpha have celebrated the new school year by moving into a new and more spacious home. The fervor of fraternalism is at a peak of performance as the year unfolds. It was our pleasure to recently initiate ten into Beta Alpha. The initiated were: Russ Pepe, Bob Mason, Jim Juliano, Ken Wilson, Ernie Shortridge, Rich Riccardi, Mario DiMasi, Cliff Malarek, Frank Christ, and Rich Brusco. We feel they are exrremely well qualified to continue the fraternity tradit ions set before them. Also, a pledge class of ten hopefuls has been started . It is hoped that all will follow in the successful footsteps of our recent initiates. Once more, our IFC football team completed a most successful season. The "Chinese Bandits" permitted but two sco res all season, while the offense rolled over everyone in sight. Basketball season approaches, with the pred iction that Pi Kapp will repeat last year's championship performance. We are proud of the achievements of Brother Lou Crompton, who, having been ordained a deacon of the Presbyterian Church at aged 19, is the youngest known man of that office in the country. Brother Crompton attended theology classes at night while attending N.C.E. days. He is associated w ith the Greystone Presbyterian Church in _Elizabeth, N. J .•. y;here he serves as director of church athletics, and underpnvileged people's relief.

The Beta Gamma Chapter has just recently re-organ ized. The first pledge class was activated at the end of last semester. We took over a house which was completely run down and. by our own labor, completely redecorated it at minimum expense. The interior is now the best on campus. Our first officers are: Bob Lewis-Archon; Jim KoshewaTreasurer; Tom White--Secretary; Andy Beeler-Historian; Mike Gish-Warden; Ken Elliott-<:haplain; John SampsonRush Chairman; D ave Rhodes-Social Chairman; and Bill Steier-House Manager. We now have six pledges whom we think are the best on campus. In spite of our size, we are exercisi ng extreme caution in selecting pledges. . We surprised everyone by winning the campus fraternity football championship. We were also we ll represented in the homecoming decorations and placed fourth in the Tu rkey Trot, a 11j,j mile race run each year at Thanksgiving. We are proud to say that we are the talk of th e campus. We have come a long way in a short time and are still pushing. There are constantly members of other fraternities coming over to congratulate us on our progress. Before closing, however, let us put in a plug for the best alumni association on campus. Without their help, we could have done little.

The new officers of Beta D elta Chapter are Mike J arvis, Archon Gere Krasko, Treasurer, Tom Hill, Secretary, Bill Barber,' Warden, and happy pledge trainer, Mike Drisco ll , Historian, and Larry Neihouse, Chaplain. We moved into our new house as of the twenty-seventh of August. This cu lminates over five year~ of . work, troo~ing through various and sundry houses at eight m th e mornmg, four in the afternoon, cut classes for the undergrads, and time off from work for the alumni . There were also afternoon and evening sessions of regrouping and preparing for th e next attack over a glass or two of "beverage" at Peggy's; for the men of sufficient age to enjoy same, of course. Finally after many false starts ~e found another one. at 3420 Kingman. The loan from National went through Without a hitch the loan from th e bank went through too. W e had a hous~ of our very own! Our first comment, " I can't believe it!" Now that almost a semester has been spe nt in it, it is "home" for Beta D elta, Pi Kappa Ph i. 12

/M~ The act ivities of the Pi Kapps of Beta Eta at Florida State University have been irregularly restricted by the conversion from th e semester to the trimester system. However, never be it said that a Pi Kapp ca nn ot manage th e hurdl es of U n1· versity Temperance. . This trimester has seen the men of Beta Eta, along with Kappa D elta Sorority, conduct ou r second annual FacultY Auction. This event netted over $200. whi ch was donated to the Campus Chest, an organizati on whi ch redistributes monieS to different chariti es and organizations. The first week in November brought on Homecoming, and with it the first place for "the most appropriate float." AJ.ph~ Gamma D elta Sorority contributed greatly to this winnin~ creation. The men of thi s chapter would like to take this opportunitY to sincerely thank their alumni for the strong support given to th e new building program. Beta Eta started a new building program last year which operates in this fashion: Each graduating senior, at graduationd pledges to donate to the chapter $10.00 per year for a perio of ten years. This pledge applicati on was also sent out to our other alumni and was received with great enthusiasm. We believe th at this reflects a ty.pe of alumni su pport which onlY the most fortunate receive. As a closing note it is apropos that our Archon, Brother Ronald Boersma, be recognized for hi s superior guidance during th is trimester. H e has withstood much sadness this year but over everything he has remained dedicated to Pi Kat:P~ Phi. His academic accomp lishments have been an inspiratiOd to all . Just recentl y Brother Boersma was tapped for Gol Key and Omicron D elta Kappa H onora ries. H e has been the recip ient of various other scho larship awards and is here Bl FSU on a Continental Baking Scholarship. Tru ly, Brother Boersma is one of the finest representatives of Pi Kappa Ph1.

The year 1962 has been very full for and rewarding to the brothers of Beta Iota. Th e first g reat honor was that Beta lot~ was designated to enact the mod el initiation at the Supreme Chapter Meeti ng in Lansing, Michigan. It was later said th ~ 1 the performance was one of the best portraya-ls of the ritu~l ever given at a Supreme Chapter Meeting. For thi s praise. we are humbly grateful. Howeve r, th e g reatest honor ca me when Beta Iota was named the Nationa l Champion Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. We will surely remember that event with great pride for years to come. We also had one of our alumn 1 honored by being appointed as the District Pres id ent. We are very proud of Brother Kuhlman , and thank him for all the su pport he has g iven to us. This year we have brothers active on campus in many fo rmS· They are as follows : Archon Ken t Girkins is presently 11 member of Student Senate, Harry Welsh was recently appointed to the Student Judici ary Council , Thomas Kahl e, Historianwas elected Treasurer of the Student Union Board of Go''· ernors. and Don Billmaier is on th e staff of th e Coll eg ian. the campus newspa per. Brother Billmaier was recently .made a member of IV ho' s IV ho in Americcm Colleges and U 11iver· .rities. Beta Iota's H omecoming Queen ca ndidate, Joyce Stein· was a mong the finalists. Now, we would like to add a more personal note. We certainl y hope tha t all the brothers who stopped at Beta Jot.~ on th eir way to the Supreme Chapter Meeting found theii visit enjoyable. We wish to extend fu vther an invitati on to all brothers, who might be traveling throug h Ohio in the future, to stop and meet the members of our chapter.

Plans are being continuously made to further improve Beta Lambda Chapter at the University of Tampa. The Chapter is now recogruzed as being first on campus in intramurals, leadership, scholarship, and social activities. Beta Lambda will not rest until we are recognized as the leading fraternity in all endeavors.

This year looks to be nnother great year for Pi Kappa Phi at Clarkson. Beta Rho has just initiated sixteen new members and again this year ranks as one of the largest houses on campus. Various rooms in the chapter house have undergone remodeling in the past few months. Part of this was done over the summer by industrious members and more during the work week of the past pledge class. The chapter has also begun rewiring the house, with part of the house scheduled to be done each year. Beta Rho has led a busy semester so far. The chapter has just had an open house to which all faculty and students from Clarkson and Potsdam State Teachers College were invited . The open hous~ was ~ big s~ccess and it has unofficially started off rushtng, whiCh begms next week with freshmen vtsttations. The actual rushing does not begin until second semester. But Beta Rho has not been standing still. In the offseason upper classmen rush period Beta Rho succeeded in filling up four of the openings in its junior and sophomore class. These classes are almost completely filled. Recently Beta Rho was privileged to have the District I President, Robert Crossley, visit the chapter. The chapter was also pleased to see traveling counselor Ted Scharfenstein again. Being rather cut off from other chapters Beta Rho is especially glad to meet with members from othdr chapters.

Beta Upsilon Chapter has now had its Pi Kapp Charter a year and a half. In this s·hort period much has been accom plished due to the efforts of the founders. This year our founders are gone, but there has been no let up in the building process. Much of the interior of the chapter house has been renovated , and plans for the future are ready for action. But Beta Upsilon is growing in other ways also. This year the chapter will lose only three men , and consequently, our membership should rise substantially. Virginia's long rush season is now at an end, and Beta Upsilon has taken what is considered to be the most outstanding pledge class it has ever had . And the prospects for rush in the second semester are better than ever. While the house is growing stronger as a unit, it is neglecting neither its relationship with the University faculty nor, of course, its social life. Recently, the brothers entertained a large number of the faculty at a tea. As a result of this tea and the efforts of many, the chapter will be initiating a faculty member in the near future. The climax of the chapter's social life this f&ll was the annual Christmas party held on Saturday, December 15. In the afternoon the brothers played Santa to a group of Charlottesville's underprivileged children . This was followed by a combo party in the evening, the first party at which the brothers could relax from rush. For the next day, plans had been made for a challenge football game with Rho Chapter. Unfortunately, the game could not be played at this time. but Beta Upsilon is looking forward to a growing interchapter rivalry. 13

After a strong and successful reorganization lost March, the Jacksonville Alumni Chapter proceeded to conduct one of the most effective alumni rush programs in the fraternity. Under the leadership of Rolph Soffy, Alpha Epsilon, and Rick Carroll, Beta Beta , and rush chairman Bob Montgomery, Alpha Iota, a three-phose rush program was conducted. Just before school closed lost spring the Jacksonville alums presented a series of Pi Kopp College Forums to a number of Hi-Y Clubs throughout Metropolitan Jacksonville. The Forums were organized by Cliff Adcock, Alpha Epsilon, and featured discussions about fra ternities, college finance and other related subjects. Rushees were also token to nearby Alpha Epsilon at the University of Florida for a weekend on compus full of Pi Kopp activities. From contacts mode at the spring College Forums a rush and invitation list was prepared for a summer rush party. A stag swim party and luau was held in a downtown hotel August 4 with approximately 30 rushees attending . Assisting the alums in rushing at the party were undergraduates from

Florida, Duke, Virginia and Georgia Tech. The Jacksonville Alumni Chapter has scheduled quarterly meetings (luncheons) at the Robert Meyer Hotel. Over 150 Pi Kopps live in Greater Jacksonville and about a third ore active in the chapter. Other officers in the Jacksonville chapter ore David Reid, Alpha Epsilon, Treasurer; Tom Mahaffey, Chi, Secretory; and Jerry Giroir, Chi, Social Chairman. Serving in on advisory capacity ore George Coulter, Moe Cummings and Wolter Rivers, all of Alpha Epsilon. Attorney John Palmer, Alpha Epsilon, is preparing new by-lows for the organization. The Jacksonville Alumni Chapter is represented on notional committees by Rolph Noreen, Gamma, Chairman of the Finance Committee and Jock Bell, Alpha Eta, on the Devereux D. Rice Memorial Foundation. Fall plans include a dinner-dance to be held at a local country club. Roger Austin, Alpha Epsilon, 1963 Rush Chairman is already preparing plans for the new program with emphasis on field trips to Florida chapters.

Brother Tommy Vaughan, president of the Student Government Association at Alabama, and Brothers Barry McCrory, Archon, Bobby Inman , rush chairman, and Billy J:mes, all of Omicron, came to the party to lend a hand with the rushing. Brother Harold Hartwell, Archon, and ten other Alpha Iota members, were present; also Gary Pritch ett and Ronnie Simms, members of Alpha Eta colony at Howard. All of these assisted in making the party a success. This year's rush party followed the same pattern as past parties. The barbecued chicken was prepared on Brother Mayson's big outdoor grill. Designated tabl es w ere set up on the lawn for rush ees w ho will a ttend various schools. Alabama and Auburn each had large tables surrounded by rushees and brothers. The Georgia Tech, Howard and Tennessee groups were combin ed at one tab le. This allowed concentrated attention to be focused by alumni of various chapters on prospects for those chapters. Brother Leo H. Pou, president of the Gulf Coast chapter, with Brothers Fox Brunson, Mack Matthews, Jimmy May, Cocky Mayson, Tom Johnston and George Gunn did the planning for the party.

The Washington, D. C. alumni hosted a rush party for area college students August 28 at the House of Representatives Office Building. It was the first rush function for the alumni group which was reactivated in May, 1961, and about 15 rushees were on hand. Rushees attending Davidson Co llege, Washington and Lee University, and the University of Alabama w ere present, along with undergraduates from several chapters and many a lumni. Congressmen George Grant of Alabama (Omicron) and Syd Herlong of Florida (Alpha Epsilon) arranged for the affair to be held in the House Ways and Means Committee meeting room. Special guests included Miss Becky Newsome, National Rose Queen of Pi Kappa Phi, Ben Covington, former national secretary, and John Brown, district president of district five. 15

Then here is a suggestion: Pick up your phone right now and call up that Pi Kapp you know and suggest that you two get together for lunch. If you two can think of other Pi Kapps, call them up, also, and invite them to " Dutch it" with you . You'll find you will have a lot of fun just being together and knowing that you are all Pi Kapps. And you 'll probably be asking yourselves why you don 't do this often-perhaps regularly. It is quite possible that it could lead to the formation of an alumni chapter of Pi Kapps. Why not continue to enjoy the warm fellowship which the fraternal bonds of Pi Kappa Phi can still afford you? If you do not know any Pi Kapp in your hometown, write our Central Office in Sumter, South Carolina, today and ask our Executive Secretary to look up and send you the names of any Pi Kapps who may be living in your vicinity. There could be one living right next door to you. Other fraternities have their alumni groups. If you still have that warm feeling for Pi Kappa Phi, why not do something NOW to start a Pi Kapp alumni chapter? It could prove a wonderful asset to our fraternity, and you'll find you can continue enjoying Pi Kappa Phi in a very special way. Why not pick up the phone and call that Pi Kapp right now and get something started? You 'll be glad you did!

you live in one of these cities? If so, there should be an active alumni chapter for you to ioin. If there is no active chapter You should start one. Any city with 25 or more alumni can supPort an active chapter. ALABAMA Birmingham Gadsen

NORTH AND SOUTH MEET WITH COMMON INTEREST Too often we look upon military men as hard-nosed disciplinarians of the field of combat, for removed from the reality of civilian pursuits. It is always interesting to note that this belief is usually in error. Two members of Pi Kappa Phi are living examples. Colonel Harold B. Simpson, Upsilon '37, Illinois, received his B.S. degree in 1940, and his A.M. and M.S. degrees in 1950, both from the University of Illinois. Captain T. M. MocGiothlin, Kappa '49, received his B.A. in 1951 at the University of North Carolina. Both of these officers hove continued to maintain on interest in Pi Kappa Phi. They hove succeeded admirably as military officers, and also hove found time to contribute of themselves in other areas. Colonel Simpson is presently Comptroller for our Twelfth U.S. Air Force with headquarters in Waco, Texas. Captain MocGiothlin is presently Aide-de-Camp to Major General Karl Truesdell, Jr., Command er of the Twelfth. Both ore military positions of respect and honor. Captain MacGiothlin is quite active in civic affairs, and he is especially interested in the Civil War Round Table of Waco, Texas. Colonel Simpson has served as the first president of the Civil War Round Table of Waco, and is a member of the Texas Civil War Centennial Commission. He is the author of the Civil War book, " Brawling Brass-North and South." Recently Brother Simpson has been highly honored in being appoin ted as the only military mem路 ber of the Editorial Board of the Davis Publishing Co. This board consists of twenty-two distinguished Texas historians and scholars.

NORTH CAROLINA ALUMNI INVITEDAlumni of Pi Kappa Phi in North Carolina and undergraduate chapters in District Ill are invited to attend a charteri ng banquet for Beta Phi Chapter on February 17, 1963, in Greenville, N.

Crude poetry you might soy, and undoubtedly you are correct. However, the truth of the statement cannot be denied. It is these three insititutions that exercise the greatest influence during the development period of a future man. ~ow strong and persistent their influence determines the degree of excellence the man achieves. No other period of time in a man 's developing years is as crucial as those changing, confusing, and tumu ltuous years spent in college. Now think! What other organization on the average campus provides the combined influence of family, spiritual, and government to the degree provided by a Fraternity chapter? There is none!

The Alpha Eta Colony can look over five highly successful and exciti ng months of existence with full assurance of its being the top fraternity on the Howard College campus. The seed which has grown into the present colony came into being last April when a small group of men petitioned the nationa l office of Pi Kappa Phi for permission to reactivate their chapter which had been off Howard 's campus since the days of World War II. The culmination of this effort was rea li zed shortly before the close of school when local alumn i and national representatives pledged a group of men who would form the nucleus of the chartering efforts. September and the start of the new term saw this group of men maki ng Pi Kappa Phi's first year at Howard a highly successful one. This school year has seen us as constant victors in intramural sports, as winners of fraternity competition for Homecoming decorations, and as hosts at the most outsta nding parties of the season. Ray Moon acts as President of our Colony, and William Troutman, Secretary, with Robert Flowers serving as Treasurer. Ronald Simms is the Warden, Wi lliam Moats, the Chaplain, Gary Pritchett, the social chairman, and D ale Landers is our Rush Chairman. James Waits serves us on the In terfraternity Council.

PI KAPP SCH TOP NINE MEMBER.$ IN SCHOLARSHIP HONOR.ED FOR. THEIR. ACHIEVEMENTS

Individual excellence in scholarship always is to be admired. This is especially true within an organization which stresses the value of individuality as does Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. The 1962 Pi Kapp scholars are now in possession of their certificates and pendants. We hereby recognize them officially to the entire Fraternity family. From over 1,500 undergraduates these nine have been selected as representing the highest in scholastic achievement. It is interesting to note that they, to a man, are not narrow, limited individuals. They are representative in every respect of the well-rounded college man. They also represent the ideal Pi Kapp.

Cowles now assists

Dr. Edington Since its inception on December 12, 1925, the efforts of Pi Kappa Phi's Scholarship Committee have been primarily the work of Dr. Will E. Edington, its creator. In 1962, the Fraternity was fortunate to secure the able services of Dr. Harold A. Cowles, Jr., Alpha Upsilon, 1943, to assist Dr. Edington. Brother Cowles was initiated into Alpha Upsilon Chapter at Drexel Institute. He transferred next year to Iowa State University where he served as Archon and Treasurer. After graduation he served the fraternity as District President for several years. With a B.A. in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State, Brother Cowles went on to receive his Ph.D. from Iowa State in March of 1957. Since then he has held the position of Professor of Industrial Engineering. Outside of the Academic world Brother Cowles serves as a Consulting Industrial Engineer for various organizations. Membership is held in the American Institute of Industrial Engineers, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Kappa Phi. 23

"MISERABLE SHOWING IN SCHOLARSHIPU Dr. Will Edington

Study of Scholarship

National Scholarship

Committee at 29th

Director

Supreme Chapter May Supply Answer.

All is not well in our undergraduate scholastic efforts. It would appear that Pi Kappa Phi utilizes all possible mechanics of approach; however, the results are a decline in general chapter scholastic averages within the fraternity. Dr. Will Edington, National Scholarship Director, says, "I feel that we are headed for serious difficulties on a National basis due to the slump that has taken place this past year. This trend must be reversed. Only recognition by a number of our chapters of the seriousness of their scholarship situation will effect this trend's reversal. " There must develop a sincere feeling on the part of each individual brother that he is responsible not only for his own scholarship, but also for his brothers'. The chapter must act as a unit and be relendess in its demands for improved scholarship. "An upper classman deserves less consideration than a pledge under a cracking-down procedure; and frankly, it is often the upperclassmen who constirute the problem. Here is where the Chapter Advisor and other alumni should get busy and take the necessary action. "We must face realities. Fraternities, at present, are under fire from various sources. Low scholarship makes a chapter very vulnerable." The above comments were prompted by recent N.I.C. Scholarship Reports indicating that thirty Pi Kapp chapters were below their campus All-Men's average last year. "Frankly," Dr. Edington continues, "this is a miserable showing in scholarship; and, if continued, will lead not only to economic difficulties, but to the folding of some of these chapters." 24

The Scholarship Committee of the 29th Supreme Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi recogni zes the vi tal need for the advancement and improvement of academic performance and of the ideals of scholarship in the subord inate chapters of the fraternity. Neverthel ess, the Committee does not requ est action which would alter the policy of the national fraternity in respect to scholarship. It refrains from making such proposals on a number of general grounds. In the first place, it is felt that scholarship, like brotherhood, is a hard thing to legislate. W•hile certain conditions pro· moting scholastic endeavor may be estab· lished by the making of rules, it is also true that the multiplication of minimum requirements of attainment, or of penalties for non-performance, may have the opposite from the desired effect. Secondly, the Committee holds that to a large degree the steps to promote scholarship must be fitted to the particular conditions prevailing in the different colleges and universities and in the different undergraduate chapters. The discussions in the Committee revealed that what has proved to be a workable method in some schools and chapters would not be deemed possible, or if possible, not effective in other places. Thirdly, actions particularly disciplinary actions, which might be initiated and automatically carried out by the central office on the basis of some specific prescription could have repercussions on the total operations and welfare of a chapter and its individual members. For example, it was felt by the Committee that the establishment of a policy which would tie a specific disciplinary action to a spe. cific level of non-attainment scholastically by a chapter should be avoided unless the ramifications of such a policy were th oroughly studied and understood. The Committee does not propose that the iss ues raised by inadequate purposes, endeavor, and attainment in the area of scholars·hip be similarly ignored. It would place its reliance on a number of factors for the betterment of the situatio n.

F £, 1

Secondly, the continued assistance, 1 ti vice, and general goading from 1 t; Central Office and its Traveling Coun~ a lors can continue to be of much helP· h Thirdly, the undergraduate leadersh as embodied in the officers and comnutt a chairmen of the undergraduate chaptf 1 must assume strong responsibility analyzing the conditions of their ch~ to ters, and for proposing and implem~~tv steps best suited to the local condtt101 a Suggestions for local action may well ' obtained through discussions of scholt n ship problems at district conclaves 1 j other meetings of the leadership of 1' b Fraternity. By way of illustrations, in this regal l commend to your attention a few of 1 c techniques for promoting schol ar~hip wiJ' have proved effective within given un 1 a graduate chapters . f: It was genera ll y held that a key to gc: F chapter scholarship in the long run is h~ selectivity and proper training of 1• v pledge class. Various proposals for scr~ ing pledges scholasticall y were describ I An effort can be made in some cases c establish the level of high school perforf s ance as an indicator of future college P1 formance of th e pledge. An effort can be made to have a coli~ [ regu lation established to defer rush un after one term of the student in college 1 which time his amdemic abilities cou ld better judged. Checks on grades of pledges through 0 the terms of pledgeship can be made and screen ing out of low performers in 11 pledge class can result. . In the training of pledges it was conS'' ered essential that the p l ed~e be given tl impression that the chapter emphasizes a~ demic and scho lasic va lu es. This maY. furthered by a practice of joint studY11 by a pl edge and an active brother whO in the same field of co llege work. On another level, the Committee cussed methods of bringing an of the scholarship of the act ive of the chapters. It can be pointed out the range of methods used successfu llY . various chapters is great. These would ~ cl ud e on one extreme suspension or rno tary Jines for brothers deficient in ship attainment, through the posting dividual averages in a conspicuous place the cl1apter house, to the granting awards for high attainment or great provement in scholarship. I point out that these particular are not ends in themselves, but means for the estab lishm ent of an phere of scholarship in whi ch high ment is a natural thing. The aim that the fraternity is not a place to to simply for a respite from academic fairs, to lick academic wounds, and grumb le about the harshness of prof al tormentors. Rather the d1apter be a membership of students in ac<:ord with the ideals of Pi Kappa Phi.

f The .Present Alpha Xi Chapter was formerly the local pra:erntty .of Psi Sigma, formed in October, 1901, at the f 0 ytechntc Institute of Brooklyn. There were five ;unders: Albert W. Meisel, Herman C. Fuchs, Harry · Lees, Oskytel H. Clarke, and Frederick H. Lane. thIn the early days the weekly meetings were held at e homes of the members in Brooklyn. As the fraternity yrew the group secured an apartment and still later in 923 bought a house at 48 Livingston Street. t' The Psi Sigma Realty Co., Inc., was formed to take ttle to the real estate. Stock was issued to the incorpor~tors and subscribers, and each new member was there~ ter required to buy a share of stock. In 1928 this ouse was sold at profit and a new home was purchased at 33 Sidney Place. At this time there were more than 125 members. t Psi Sigma was now well established. In its brief hiscry, fifty-nine members had served on varsity teams, and had .been awarded varsity letters for sport achieve~ent. Nme members had acted as class valedictorians. t mong the members, six professors and sixteen instrucors had served on vhe faculty. st -r:he list of honors would not be complete without d attng that twenty men had held class offices as presie~ts,. twenty as vice-presidents, eighteen as secretaries, ~n etg~teen as treasurers. Finally, eight members had een edttors of the college paper, "The Polytechnic ReP~rter". All these honors were received in competition Wtth three national fraternities. p :rhe pin was a gold monogram with the arms of the 51 mounted in pearls representing the members, and the center bar in sapphires representing the founders, thus ~port~d by the members. A chapter paper called "The ~o.dbtrd" was published in 1908 and has continued pu It.cat!on up to 1962. b Pst Stgma became the Alpha Xi Chapter in NovemCer, 1928. The initiation was conducted by a team from Darnell, and President A. Pelzer Wagener and Howard t · Leake conducted the installation. Thus began a fralern.al relationship of the highest order. The years folKwmg ha.ve been fruitful for both Alpha Xi and Pi i;~P~ Pht, with Alpha Xi's contribution to the fraternemg exceeded by few, if any, chapters.

Oh, death could be triumphant-death in battle, death in love, death in friendship and in peril, could be glorious if it were proud death, gaunt death, lean, lonely, tender, loving, and heroic death, who bent to touch his chosen son with mercy, love, and pity, and put the seal of honor on him when he died! -"The Web and The Rock," by Brother Thomas Wolfe, Kappa '18, University of North Carolina. Used by permission of the publishers, Harper and Brothers.

Fraternity Saddened at Death of Ted Kelly, Alpha 3 Theodore Barnwell Kelly, Alpha 3; 1904; born December 26, 1887; died May 29, 1962. A charter member of Alpha Chapter, Brother Kelly has a place in the annals of Pi Kappa Phi, exceeded only by our Founders themselves. Ted Kelly was a driving force in the early days of Alpha Chapter. He was an early secretary for the chapter and provided a meeting place for the fraternity, commencing on February 24, 1906, when the early group met at his home due to the sickness of James Fogarty. It is interesting to note that the following two-and-a-half years saw Pi Kappa Phi meeting in a now abandoned schoolhouse, then known as Miss Kelly's School for Young Ladies. In January of 1907, Ted Kelly moved to Berkeley, California, and entered the University of California. He immediately formed a local fraternity which was chartered in 1909 as Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi . "This was, without doubt, the most significant charter grant in our history. It proved that Pi Kappa Phi was destined from the beginning to be national and not sectional in character." For Kelly to form a chapter so far away (3000 miles) speaks well of the deep and lasting influence these early members had on each other. A multitude of words could be written to express the contribution to Pi Kappa Phi made by Theodore Barnwell Kelly-let it suffice to be forever said that Fogarty, Kroeg, and Mixson gave us Pi Kappa Phi; Kelly gave us Pi Kappa Phi as a National Fraternity. Ted Kelly exemplified the fraternity's motto of his day, "NIL SEPARABIT."

Tragedy fell heavily on Alpha Tau Chapter early on the morning of October 7, 1962. Four undergraduate members of the Chapter were killed instantly in a spectacular head-on crash that morning at 2:00. A wet road was the culprit in this most unfortunate event. Those brothers now in the Chapter Eternal are: John A. Zawacki, Alpha Tau 475; Richard H. Swan, Alpha Tau 495; Douglas H.

The Voluntary Gift mailings resulted in the National Office being advised of an extremely large number of deaths in a short period of time. Our policy is always to list these in the earliest issue for the information of our Brothers who have known the deceased. In order to do this, we have found it necessary to omit the usual details. If any Brother cares to correspond with survivors for information, please advise the Central Office, and we will send you the last known address.
