Which WayColleges and Universities?

In the August issue of the STAR AND LAMP the vitality of the Fraternity System was discussed. This growth in. most instances is wei· comed by the institutions due to the decided contribution these organizations make to the campus.

Most members of fraternities recognize the various values their fraternity has provided.

Our educational institutions are also cognizant of the practical values pro vided by national fraternities.

Mr. Stewart Howe of the Stewart Howe Alumni Service has enumerated some of the ways in which national fraternities are of practical value to the institutions at which they have chapters: PERSISTENCE TO GRADUATE

The U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare recently completed a study of the growing number of students who leave college without being graduated. The study revealed that "fraternity membership was clearly associated with 'a persistence to g'r aduate'." Institutions with no recognized fraternities had a lower rate of graduation than schools with them. Schools with national fraternities had higher "persistence" rates than those with only local groups.

Members of fraternities at the same institutions had better persistence records than non-members.

ATTRACT STUDENTS

Fraternities and sororities are effective volunteer recruiting agencies that attract desirable students to the institution. Without their efforts, most private schools would have to spend thousands more dollars every year to recruit additional students.

PROVIDES HOUSING

By p1·oviding housing for a significant portion of the student body, they save the school the cost of building and operating more dormitories. A school's limited capital funds or borrowing credit can thus be used, instead, for other campus buildings.

DISCIPLINE

College and university administrators find it easier to maintain student discipline among fraternity and sorority members, than among non-members. They use the local chapter undergraduate and alumni, and the national fraternity, as tools to control and inspire the members of each Greek-letter society.

COLOR AND SPIRIT

Fraternities and sororities, the healthie~!. most dynamic and more ready to perpetua ~ themselves student groups on every carn~U' give color and spir·it to student life, mak111j the school more than a drab institution, an. they inspire loyalty to it. College and un~ versity administrators are "hard-put," 0r occasion, to secure student co-operation, 01 a generous turn-out for a university even: or a demonstration of support for some pro~; ect. Most of them realize that one of t t most effective ways to stir action and ge~ a good response from the student body is t enlist the co-operation of the local fraternl· ties.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Graduates and former students who arl members of fraternities are known to !JIJl' more generous, proportionately, than no , members in making dollar contributions ~~ their school, and in serving as volunte.efhelp. This situation is of far-reaching sign 1 icance to trustees, administrators, and fnC· ulty members.

ALPHA ETA CHAPTER

PI KAPPA PHI REACTIVATES AT

In the year 1900, a number of students at Howard College organized themselves together for the purpose of forming a college fraternitY· This became Psi Delta Local Fraternity which was able to operate successfully in spite of the fact that Howard College was not open tD fraternities at that time.

In 1924, this group was the oldest local fraternity in the State of Alabama. Even with this advantage, the members of the fraternitl' recognized the need for national affiliatioP· That year the local petitioned Pi Kappa Phi for a charter.

This petition was granted, and on April 2~· 1925, with BROTHER GEORGE GRAN~· (Congressman from Alabama), as Installi11g Officer, Alpha Eta Chapter came into existence· As was true with many undergraduate f!ll' ternity chapters, Alpha Eta became inactl''j during World War II. A brief interlude 0 activity followed the war, but the extended loss was too much.

After a long inactive period, the fraternitr was in a position to reopen its Howard Collegj operation with strength. The administration Howard College gave the National Office per· mission to proceed in 1961.

BROTHER AUBREY LANCASTER, the~ an undergraduate at Davidson College, hellr 5 of the need for an undergraduate to serve 8d colonizer. He willingly transferred to How::tr and commenced work.

With drive and determination, Brother caster accumulated an outstanding grouP 05 undergraduates as a colony. This group h11 • developed at a good pace, and during the suJild mer of 1963, both Pi Kappa Phi and How::tr .

College believed them fully prepared for chllr tering.

With BROTHER HOWARD LEAKE, pll~t National President, as chartering offic~: and assisted by BROTHER FRANK II.A r· THORNE, National Treasurer, the recharte6 ing was accomplished on Saturday, Octob~rhl: 1963. During the preceding evening and n1ll' 1 an initiating team from Omicron Chapter at !~e University of Alabama had initiated 1.• qualified members of the Colony.

l'he following excerpt from Brother Jones' Peech is especially noteworthy:

v· "AnY minority element bound together by lnll'~es or assets; whether God given or man h ~ e, whether tangible or intangible, will be

ite '\,U~ to ridicule by the less fortunate majoris the inevitable law of "the common . maJority. ity l'h~ ':ery work 'superiority' is born of minoras ho~Igins, because whether a thing is defined ll.po en~g superior more often than not depends ac II. Its degree of rarity. Thus, any benefit al Cl'UIUg to a minority segment of society will lt~ays he under fire by the 'outside' majority.

The only course en ~II to those who enjoy minority benefits is to gr Joy them with dignity, thanks, humility, and on.ice, To debate the merits of these benefits is ~ to lose dignity. g00 dl' my part, let us stop telling the world how 'Ivan the fraternity system is.

Howard CollegeA Growing Institution!

Howard College first came into existence in 1840 when the Baptist churches of Alabama turned their attention towards furnishing educational facilities for young ministers. In November of 1841, the State Convention established a college in Marion, Alabama, which was to be chartered and named in honor of John Howard, the English reformer. In 1888, this same religious body directed that Howard Col3

lege be removed from Marion to Birmingham, Alabama.

Upon the selection of a location in Birmingham, suitable buildings were constructed. This same location was utilized through 1957, when it was decided to move to another location in Birmingham, rather than expand its present site. Upon the selection of a new site, construction was begun on various classroom buildings.

During these six years on the new campus, twenty buildings have been constructed at a cost of 16 million dollars. Seven additional major structures will have been constructed by 1970. 2.9 million dollars is being S'Pent each year for operations and new construction.

Howard College now has 2,300 students, and more than 120 faculty members. It has just recently acquired the old Cumberland School of Law, and this school is now established in a new law building. Next to be constructed will be a new physical science building to house departments of chemistry, mathematics, and physics.

President Wright has stated the College's chartered course for the future: "If our nation is to survive, we must have educated leaders in all walks of life, with faith in God and man.

Our purpose in providing the American community with these leaders will be carried forward with all our resources."

THE SAGA OF THE

HFIDDlERS GREEN"

by PAUL PLAWIN

The last few years in the life of Brother Donn Schindler, Xi '51, read like magazine fiction.

Today Schindler is a partner with a real estate and land development firm in St. Croix, in the Virgin Islands.

But three years ago, Schindler and his Cuban wife, Marcia, were boarding their 26-foot sailboat and slipping quietly out of Havana Harbor in flight from Castro-dominated Cuba.

That sailboat trip to Miami in the Spring of 1960 was the beginning of an adventurous, sea-going odyssey for the Schindlers. Almost two years later they settled on the island of St. Croix, where they now enjoy a pleasurable but more routine way of life.

Schindler graduated from Roanoke College in 1951 and went into the Navy as a line officer. His nautical training was to serve him well later.

After his three-year Naval hitch was up, Schindler entered Columbia University where he earned his Master's Degree in the School of Business.

From Columbia Schindler went to the General Electric Company, where he worked for two years in the United States then requested and was assigned to the company's operation in Havana, Cuba.

There he met and married Marcia.

Then, in the Spring of 1960, the Castro government confiscated G-E's Cuban holdings in widespread action that affected hundreds of American businessmen and businesses in Cuba.

The Schindlers decided Cuba was not the safest place for Americans and they left, sailing quietly into the night. The belongings they couldn't pack into their boat were confiscated by the Cuban government.

After leaving Cuba, as Schindler recalled the occasion, "We went up north (New York via Miami) for about a month, where Marcia met my family-those who didn't go to the wedding in Havana-and we looked around for a larger boat."

6

They decided that instead of remaining !~ New York and being reassigned by G-E, t 1 would start out on an island-hopping adven.ttl~. they both had dreamed of since their marrtllgr· "Then we returned to Miami," said Schindle10 r "It took us about a month to unload our 0~1 t boat. By this time we had the boat for. 0 1 t intended cruise all picked out, and withti1 9) r week of the sale of our boat, we were under\\' in the new one. .,,1 r "Our new boat, which we still own and 11 0 a on, is a 30-foot Tahiti ketch, heavily built av, c ideal for two people who intend to make~~ 0 fairly extended cruise," said Schindler. 1'!111 t couple named the boat that was to be their h0 o for the next two years "Fiddlers Green.". 1·vi The "Fiddlers Green" was a self-sustati1 p s unit, by Schindler's decription, carrying enol.l~r f water for two months, fuel and provisions S; be supplemented by fresh fish and conch. 9~ e "From Miami we crossed the Gulf stre 11., sJ to the Bahamian island of Bimini. Theil jt o· went on to explore virtually every island r 1 the entire Bahamian group, spread out ove it distance of 750 miles.

O' tc "We cruised through the Bahama Isl!l~~ for four months, and often went for wert !{ without seeing another soul," Schindler Jjsl cc called. "The lively color of the water, the tJlf al ing and the fine sandy beaches are out of}!B' " world, and as lovely as anything we ltJ ever seen either before or since. ·fe/o cc "This was a lovely carefree way of 11 0~ se sunny days of sailing on a blue sea, marve~jl fishing, and white sandy beaches on tl ~1 habited islands and cays." )l~ But all was not to be so pretty. ·vii \\> From the last island in the Bahama ch!l1~( d~ Inagua-the Schindlers sailed down thr0 1 lio, THE STAR AND LAMP .

SidWhen the "Fiddlers Green" slipped in alonglll e. a steamship pier in Portau-Prince, "imPol~lately swarms of immigration inspectors, lee, Port officials and army brass descended 0 f~ th~ boat, each demanding a substantial 'tip' w r h1s services," said Schindler, "Here indeed st~~e.the perfect example of a corrupt police

Po~nother night, the Schindlers entered the a ~ of J:;tcmel on the south coast of Haiti after eho2 O-m1le voyage. They had no sooner anord ted than a police launch circled them and tho erect them to come alongside a pier even of ~gh there was a rough sea and the danger ,, ~tnaging the "Fiddlers Green." sod:'1lled up on the pier were at least fifty fro lers who had been hurriedly summoned sai:f th€:ir barracks in case of an invasion," eral 8 chmdler. "This was typical of the genShak"l feeling throughout Haiti-a dictator overM' in power, in constant fear of being F' rown, and a country ruled by fear." ing ~orn Haiti, the Schindlers had a long, gruelto c· eat along the south coast of Hispaniola ,, lUdad Trujillo. l{e We . loved the country of the Dominican c0 ~n~bhc," said Schindler. "We stayed in this agai ry for about a month and a half, and Wen traveled by car over most of the country. lllen 'Were very tempted to make a down payCoast on a coconut plantation on the north scar!d but the political instability finally ''N" us off. l?ue ext we crossed the Mona Passage to llassrto Rico. This was about the roughest \\>a\7 age we made during the entire trip, with dow~ the size of houses constantly crashing Upon the boat," recalled Schindler.

VE'-' 8 ER, 1963

"We spent a month or so in various ports of Puerto Rico. Again we loved the country.

The fact that a man and wife alone in a small boat were making rather an unusual cruise opened many doors for us, which wouldn't have opened for the average tourist. We were usually invited out every time we were in port. Articles in the local papers helped too.

"We arrived in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands just in time for their carnival, which was a rather riotous time for a week. A bunch of our friends from Puerto Rico came over for the festival, and for a week bodies were constantly sprawled out over the decks.

"After the carnival we spent a few weeks cruising throughout the American and British Virgin Islands. The water here was no lovelier than in the Bahamas, but the islands are mountainous, and the trade winds are more noticeable.

"We sailed out across the Anegada Passage and spent the next couple of months sailing up and down the Leeward and Windward Islands. We went down as far as Trinidad, with the mountains of South America (and the Venezuelan coast) clearly visible 10 miles away.

"We decided at about this point that St. Croix is the best all-around island we had seen for our purposes in the entire string of islands from Cuba to Trinidad. St. Croix is a beautiful mountainous island surrounded by the finest sailing waters in the world, no political problems and economically booming."

The "Fiddlers Green" and her crew, which by now also included a dog named "Poodles" made a fast return trip to St. Croix, for the fall hurricane season was approaching, and the 'Windward and Leeward Islands was a windv breeding ground. · Schindler at last had the wind dead astern of his craft and he rigged twin staysails sheeted to the tiller so the boat would sail herself downwind.

"This is sailing at its very best with nothing for the crew to do but watch the seas roll past," said Schindler.

In August, 1961, the Schindlers dropped anchor in Christiansted harbor, St. Croix. After investigating various business opportunities, Schindler decided his best bet for the future lay in real estate. He joined the firm of Erikson, Hamilton & Associates and today is a partner in the company, whose cable address is simple "Paradise, St. Croix."

Having found a home at last, the Schindlers probably won't take off on another long cruise in paradise anytime soon. But it's a safe bet they'll visit a nearby island now and then.

Said Schindler, "This is probably the last remaining frontier under the U. S. Flag, and there is a future here for someone getting in on the ground floor.

"Besides, where else can you go swimming and sailing 365 days out the year?"

SCHOLARSHIP ATTITUDES

by DR. DONALD COME There is one major problem which faces most undergraduate chapters-that of providing stimulation toward better scholarship or creating the basic atmosphere and attitudes for better scholarship endeavor. That is not to say that immediate, specific factors such as a study table, awards to pledges and activities for scholarship attainment or improvement, a tutoring system, and the enforcement of quiet hours are of little value. Working properly, each of these has a place and affords a kind of stimulative force in itself. But unless accompanied by an ATTITUDE which prizes academic success as a worthy attainment, these devices are not apt to accomplish their hopedfor goal.

With this much said, it should also be recognized that the creation of ATTITUDES more conducive to good scholarship is not something which is accomplished overnight. If during this school year you make a start and help to establish an ongoing program, a major task would be accomplished.

Stimulation of better scholarship can come either from within or from outside the chapter-preferably from within. Within the chapter a method must be formalized under which the feelings and purposes of those who are anxious to establish a good scholarship program may be communicated to the whole chapter. Stimulation from without can come from contacts with ALUMNI, FACULTY, and other persons who are interested in the promotion of good scholarship.

Some specific steps which could be taken within a chapter are: SET A GOAL At an early chapter meeting of the new school year the archon and other chapter officers could emphasize the aim of scholarship improvement as a major goal for the coming year. A program of action, including steps to be taken both for re-enforcing academic attitudes and for providing specific a~ds in the way of quiet hours, tutoring, etc., could be presented and discussed. The aim would be to make all members conscious of the purpose of improving scholarship.

PERSONAL APPEAL At least once a 'inonth a portion of the regular meeting could be set aside for a s_hort talk by a member on some aspect of scholarship improvement. The brothers giving these talks should be selected with care. They 8

should not necessarily be the top-ranking students in the chapter. Probably having greater impact would be a talk by a person who does a creditable, better-than-average, academic performance and who also coJll· mands the respect of chapter members on other bases. Such a person could indicatde and display by his own example that goo scholarship is related in a positive, not !I negative fashion to other valued activitieS· Among the possible topics for these talkS could be: a. How scholarship is related to being a good fraternity member and to fulfilling the obligations obtaining to fraternity meJ11· bership. b. What individual benefits are gained froJ11 good scholastic attainment. c. What techniques for study or for eJ(· amination preparations have been found helpful.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING Chapter members who are low in grades or who by actions or words have helped create poor academic ATTITUDES and patte~ns in the chapter could be approached for JJI' formal discussions by members of th~ scholarship committee of the chapter or bl selected, chapter officers. Aid in their owll academic programs might be offered or r~ quests to refrain from interfering with t)'l chapter's program might be made.

OUTSIDE INFLUENCE Stimulation toward better scholarship fro~ outside the chapter could come from a serieS fd talks, scheduled one per month, which wou t be brief (maybe a half hour in length) bllr for which attendance would be required fo t chapter members and pledges. Subsequen que~tions or discussion would be useful. IIIUrd trahve of the type of presentation which cou be given are the following: d a. A talk by an alumnus on why he wou!Jl1 like to see his chapter outstanding js scholarship or how good scholarshiP beneficial subsequent to graduation. t b. A talk by a person from the Departrl'le~. of Education or Department of ps!J· chology on good study and learning tee niques. c. A talk by someone from the universi~~; placement bureau or job-intervie"W1 eservice indicating the relationshiP. ~S· tween scholarship and job opportun1tJ .1 d . A talk by an outstanding professor on ~rl field and problems of major interest. tn ·an active, enthusiastic person is aske~gllt talk on an intriguing topic this :rnJ 0 ~1 help to create a better tone of intellect activity in the chapter.

EMBER, 1963

Suddenly Emberger turned on a burst of speed that ate up the 10 meters between him and the Russian, and won the race with a time of 4.26.

Harriman, obviously impressed by his countryman's splendid showing, sent a personal commendation to Emberger.

Emberger, a first lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps, also won the 110 meter hurdles and the 400 meter run during the grueling 10event decathlon competition in Moscow.

In the overall decathlon competition he racked up 7,113 points (which he considered below his par) and helped the U.S. Men's Team edge to a 119-114 victory over the Soviets.

Emberger went to Poland following the Russian meet where the U. S. track team competed in another series of track events. Later several other European track events were entered by the team.

Brother Emberger won his berth on the U.S. team at the national AA U championship eliminations at Corvallis, Oregon, last June.

At Roanoke College, Dick Emberger won eleven varsity letters in cross country, swimming and indoor and outdoor track. He took the Little Eight diving title three years.

Said t ack adviser Bast when Emberger was in his senior year at Roanoke: "He's improving all the time. There's no telling just how far he can go in track. He has all the tools-desire, ability, and the love of hard work. I'd say he had an excellent chance of making the Olympic team in 1964."

It looks like Brother Emberger is almost there.

Chi Lambda Beta Pin

In the spring of that year the members secured and furnished their own house.

It had been the early wish of the charter members that their fraternity someday be affiliated with a strong national fraternity. with principles in accord with their own.

Thus, when the fraternity was incorporated by the State of Pennsylvania in 1926, it submitted a petition to Pi Kappa Phi. A year earlier, the alumni of Chi Lambda Zeta were legally organized for the purpose of establishing a building fund for the fraternity. The following year lots were purchased in an approved fraternity section of State College. The future home of the chapter was to be built there.

At the beginning of the 1927 school term, the fraternity grew out of its original house and moved into more spacious quarters closer to the center of State College activities.

Soon thereafter the chapter entered into Pi Kappa Phi. Wrote Brother Atkinson of the induction night banquet: "Before the group had risen to leave the tables to the mercy of the busboys, the new members were treated to their first Pi Kappa Phi songs by the boys from Cornell. And such was the appreciation on the part of the auditors, and such the versatility on the part of the entertainers that this pleasant spirit remained in ascendency for the remainder of the evening, fitting end to a wonderful week-end."

Six Master Chapters

AWARDS University of Georgia-

LAMBDA IS MOST IMPROVED CHAPTERWins Houser Award

Excellence is reward in itself, but oftentimes great improvement is neither rewarded nor recognized. Most awards given are in recognition of excellence in a particular field.

The Theron A. Houser Memorial A ward for Chapter Achievement has the distinction of recognizing overall chapter improvement in various fields without the necessity of top performance, or excellence, in any given field or in any particular period.

The Theron A. Houser Memorial Award was created in 1959 when an anonymous donation was given to the fraternity in Brother Houser's name for such a use. This was in recognition of Brother Houser's twenty-four years of continuous service to the fraternity as a member of the National Council.

The Award is a "traveling" award, extremely handsome, and highly valued by its recipients. Sigma Chapter, University of South Carolina, was its first recipient in 1960. It was followed by Kappa, University of North Carolina, 1961, and Beta Lambda, University of Tampa, 1962.

This year's recipient is Lambda Chapter at the University of Georgia. Taking into consideration as many of the various areas of fraternity operation as possible, Lambda Chapter has exhibited outstanding improvement in all areas. Their improvement in the area of scholarship, membership, and alumni rebtions has been especially noteworthy.

From a chapter that was in danger of losing its charter two years ago, Lambda has grown in strength, reputation, and in ability, until it is one of the outstanding fraternities on the campus at the University of Georgia. In recognition of i ts growth, several of its al umni have gotten together and for the first time in a number of years, Lambda Chapter owns its own home. The members of Lambda Chapter recognize that they have progressed, but at the same time are cognizant of their continued need for further advancement and improvement.

At Pi Kappa College by National President John Deimler.

THE PRESIDENT'S PlAQUE Of all of the chapters of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, the best chapter publication was produced by Alpha Iota Chapter at Auburn University. The Alota, Alpha Iota's publication, was chosen the best chapter publication in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity of all the eligible publications in the race for the President's Plaque for the year 1962-63. This award, the President's Plaque, was presented to Alpha Iota at the 1963 Pi Kapp College closing session in Charleston, S. C. Making the presentation was National President John Deimler. The editor of the winning publication was Brother Lige Robbins.

It was an extremely close race, with Beta Iota Chapter of the University of Toledo placing second with its Beta Iota Lite. Third place in the judging went to the Beta Eta Data, of Beta Eta Chapter at Florida State University.

The judges for this year indicated that several chapters having only two issues really had excellent publications, but were not eligible inasmuch as three issues are required for the competition.

The judges for the 1962-63 award were the staff of The Beaumont Enterprise, a newspaper in Beaumont, Texas. Mr. Robert Akers, editor-in-chief of The Beaumont Enterprise, was the chief judge. Mr. Akers is a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity from the University of Texas, is president of the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, and president of the Beaumont Rotary Club.

In judging this contest, the judges always place emphasis on content, with no chapter being penalized for the medium used. The content is expected to be dedicated entirely to the enlightenment of the chapter's alumni. The following is the point count used as a basis of judging: POINTS Coverage of local chapter activities 10 Coverage of chapter alumni news ..... . . . 30 Editorial material concerning fraternity life, purposes, ideals, values, etc. . . . . . . 10 Other material such as college plans, programs, activities, etc. of interest to alumni ... ... ... .. . . .. ... .. .. . . .......... 10 Quality of headlining and copy, freedom from typographical and grammatical errors, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Quality of general appearance, ease of reading, paper, legibility of mimeographed copy, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Total ................... ........ 100 Plus at least 3 issues per year.

FRATERNITY

Voluntary Dues Return Far Exceeding 1962!

Co-chairmen Glen Brock, President of Gulf, Mobile, Ohio Railroad, and Congressman Syd Herlong announce their pleasure at the response to the 1963 Voluntary Dues Program. With the program but half completed, responses already have been received from more alumni this year than were received the entire program in 1962.

Returns to the National Fraternity as of November 1, 1963, show 790 alumni, contributing $7,453.25, for an average dues return of $9.50 per response.

A third mailing to the alumni will be forwarded on or about December 1, 1963. All those not having responded to the first two mailings, and to the appeal on page 17 of this issue of the Star and Lamp, are encouraged to consider doing so upon receipt of the December mailing.

West German Chancellor Adenauer Speaks On Fraternities Speaking at a reunion of old grads of the University of Freiburg, from which he graduated in 1897, Time Magazine in a recent issue quotes the Chancellor of West Germany as follows: "When a student enters the University, he or she is neither a finished man nor a finished woman. One is never completely finished in life. A boy needs a special atmosphere. It is like a plant that grows up, or a young tree. It depends on how the air is, on the surroundings he is in, on the earth that gives him nourishment. I believe a fraternity can give a young student a great deal. I look back at my student time and can only say that the atmosphere which I found in the fraternities has affected me for my whole life.

The student can only be raised by the fellowship of his peers. As for the burgeoning revival of fraternities since World War II (40% of West German students now belong) der Alte maintained that 'after the terrible collapse 14

at the end of the war, the rise of such a tradition is of very vital and great significance for all the German people.'"

Rice Memorial FundTax Exempt After thirteen years of activity, the United States Internal Revenue Service has at last granted the D. D. Rice Memorial Fund tax-exempt status for donations thereto. More coverage on this announcement will be given in the February issue of the Star and Lamp. In the meantime, those alumni wishing to make last-minute taxexempt donations for the calendar year 1963, are encouraged to give consideration to the D. D. Rice Fund.

The income from this fund's investments is used in granting scholarships and loans to needy and deserving students. The students receiving these loans and grants often aid the fraternity by their participation in its affairs on a campus where they use the money for scholastic purposes. In addition, a large percentage of the principal of this fund has been invested in the past in real estate loans to assist undergraduate chapters in securing adequate housing.

This fund merits your contributions as both a student assistance concept, and also a distinct service to your fraternity.

Make checks payable to: D. D. Rice Memorial Foundation, and forward same to Mr. Jack Bell, treasurer, D. D. Rice Memorial Foundation, 6764 LaLoma Drive, Jacksonville 17, Florida.

Congressman Grant I value fraternity membership because it was voluntarily extended by a chapter group and accepted voluntarily by me. It was based upon congenialty, sociability, and adaptability with a mutual feeling that all could contribute something worth while for the common good.

Not only did fraternity membership give me an opportunity to make cherished friends during undergraduate days, but has offered me an increased opportunity as an alumnus to meet brothers from other chapters, many which have developed into lasting friendships.

The American college fraternity is something unique in college life and has contributed immeasurably to the betterment of our college system. . . . Congressman George Grant, D. Alabama, University of Alabama.

Senator Johnston It is appropriate at this time to commend the Fraternities in the Nation's Colleges and Universities for the great contribution made in the development of young men.

I remember well my college days and the great bonds of friendship created among the members of not only my own Fraternity but among members of all the fraternities on the campus. We learned how to live and work together, and this training has lived with each of us throughout our lives. The friendships which sprang up among us have proved inseparable, and it is these strong ties among men that keep our Nation strong. . . . Honorable Olin D. Johnston, South Carolina, University of South Carolina.

ARE FRATERNITIES PAYINGTHEIRWAY? The answer is YES in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where the University of Illinois fraternities distribute $3,250,000 locally each year.

NOTE: The following is reprinted from a folder of BreseeWarner, specialists in fraternity management and accounting with main office in Champaign, Illinois, as based upon factual information regarding the financial operations of fraternities and sororities at the University of Illinois. The financial contribution referred to is to one fraternity community: multiply this by every fraternity campus in the country and the result will prove the answer to be YES! Did you ever figure what a fraternity means to your community? Everyone has his own ideas about a fraternity being good or bad and whether a college student should become a member of a social fraternity.

However, the financial contribution of a fraternity to your community means much more than this in real dollars. The following facts and figures were compiled on the 57 fraternities and 29 sororities at the University of Illinois and illustrates their definite value to the Champaign-Urbana community. This information serves only as a sample of what all fraternities and sororities throughout the United States are doing for their local communities.

Payroll The monthly payroll of fraternities amounts to $35,580.99, that of sororities $21,870.00, or a total of $57,450.99.

This total payroll of more than a half million dollars per year would be equivalent to a business employing 127 people with an average salary ranging from $300.00 to $1,000.00 per month. This payroll goes into the hands of many employees who would otherwise not be able to support themselves in the 16

Champaign-Urbana community.

In addition to this, approximately 775 jobs are provided for students as waiters, dishwashers, and kitchen helpers. The major portion of student jobs in this category are provided by fraternities and sororities since the University now employs union personnel in the residence halls.

Local Taxes The fraternities pay $105,062.00 in real estate taxes and the sororities $64,740.00 for a total of $169,801.00; personal property taxes paid by fraternities amounts to $8,550.00 and sororities $4,205.00 making a total of $12,755.00.

If the average family paid $400.00 per year in real estate and personal property taxes, it would take 456 new families to equal this tax input into Champaign-Urbana. Also, the same gross input of $182,557 in taxes from 456 new families would not reflect the same net profit to the community since ChampaignUrbana would have to provide more streets, street lights, sewers, school facilities, and teachers, police protection, fire protection, etc., for the new families which is not necessary for fraternities and sororities. Also, please remember if the University owned these properties, there would be no real estate tax realized by the community. The University is tax exempt on nearly all properties in both Champaign and Urbana.

Dollar and Income to the Community The average fraternity spends $44,087.33 per year while an average sorority will spend $42,560 in a year. This means all fraternities and sororities on the University of Illinois Campus will spend more than $3,600,000 each year. Assuming 90 per cent of all expenditures are made in the Champaign-Urbana community, over $3,250,000 is locally distributed every year.

In addition to the real estate and personal property tax which would be lost if fraternities and sororities were owned by the University, a great percentage

B

of the $3,250,000 spent lo~~t would be lost since most of cl University purchases of ff r and housing needs, such as 0, niture and maintenance ite~ are made away from Ch 8~ paign-Urbana in more bU quantities. .

With very little asked in. ~ turn, fraternities and sororJll have established themselves ~sr very important financial par . the Champaign-Urbana corndJil; nity. These figures adjuste .. other colleges and univers11r would show the same res~t from community to commun;6 ~ The facts DO indicate frB ~ nities are paying their waY·

sion, there were other alumni leaders present to give those in attendance the advantage of their knowledge. These included: REVEREND C. JONES TYLER, Emory University, of Berkeley California; DR. MARTINE PEARCE, Uni~ersity of Florida, of Gainesville, Florida; RALPH MORROW, East Michigan University, of Gainesville, Florida; JIM NETTLES, Florida State, of Augusta, Georgia; W. BERNARD JONES, JR., College of Charleston, of Pinewood, S. C. The entire National Council of the fraternity was present and each N ationral officer took part in the instruction.

Members of Alpha Chapter gave those in attendance an extra bonus by conducting an outstanding ritual of initiation.

The highlight of the proceedings was the dedication of a plaque at 90 Broad Street in Charleston. This plaque commemorates in bronze the founding of Pi Kappa Phi in that building in 1904. The fraternity was honored to have the wife of FOUNDER HARRY MIXSON present and to her fell the privilege of unveiling the plaque.

The concluding banquet was honored with the presence of FOUNDER SIMON FOGARTY. Following an address by FOUNDER FOGARTY a presentation of diplomas to all in attenda~ce was made by National President DE IMLER. This is but a brief account of the four-day school. In no way could words depict the spirit of fraternalism which prevailed. To many the formal instruction was but a brief interlude between the real lessons that passed from brother to brother as those in attendance personally experienced a national fraternity at its best.

ture, although they found their beginning in the religious rituals as forerunners and examples, no doubt. Let's mention graduation, flag lowering, officer and membership induction as a few of this type.

Rituals, as we think of them, lend solemnity and beauty to an occasion, they are impressive in their form and uniformity. They preserve and present basic knowledge and teaching in a ceremonial dress, which in turn reach the deeper recesses of the memory.

Our Pi Kappa Phi ritual of membership has in a small way the form and philosophy of the Masonic ritual, without its length and repetition.

Masonry dates back to the 11th century and thus in its age and spread in membership has become father and foundation to many other rituals of similar purpose.

In its early years, Masonry was an organization of practicing masons.

Similar to a craft union of today, its membership was limited to men who were stone masons or artisans or who were apprenticed as such and of character worthy of the association created. An entering apprentice was instructed in the craft and when found proficient was admitted to full membership, after taking an oath which included fealty to the king, loyalty to the lodge, morality in living, honesty in work performance, obedience to God. This craft of masonry gradually disappeared as the trend of building gothic cathedrals slowed and stopped, but the association was so highly enjoyed and sought that it was given new life and continuous existence by the induction of men of worth and character who were not stone masons.

The ritual of induction became one of figurative nature rather than actual training, but the same virtues were extolled and emphasized. It was a ceremony of meticulous detail and solemn dignity. .

By reason of circumstances of .Its use our own ritual is short and simple,' but it has beauty of staging and real teaching import. When you an: alyze the ritual of Masonry and PI Kappa Phi you will reach the conclusion that each has four purposes in view in reaching for the mind of the neophyte who undergoes the process.

The first is to ascertain worthiness.

Next is to teach certain principles and facts.

The third is to inspire the listener with high ideals.

The fourth is to impress the experience in the listener's memory.

The architects of our ritual have created well. I use the plural "architects" to give credit to n;any devot.ed minds which have contnbuted ~o I~s building. I would l.ike t~ emphasize I.n passing that the ntual IS not. a static thing but is open to further Improvement and embellishment and se~ks your ideas of betterment. N? van::tion from the context as prmted IS permissible, but changes in thi~ printed version can be made by usmg the fraternity's channels of revision and

correction. Variation in the mechanics of the presentation and its outside dressing can be had, so long as the goals of beauty of presentation and of the seriousness of its purposes are held in mind.

Our ritual is brief for obvious reasons, but in its brevity it covers the purposes and requirements in dramatic and memorable manner if presented in a spirit and atmosphere of seriousness and devotion which is demanded for desired effects.

Remember that in Pi Kappa Phi we are creating enduring friendships and a brotherly association for a long period of years. This calls for a firm foundation of mutual respect, confidence and affection.

The cornerstone of this foundation is choosing your material carefully.

There is no substitute for good character.

The second major stone of the foundation is an absorbing and impressive induction into the group. Fraternity is a matter of the heart and spirit.

And therein lies the place of the ritual. It is to touch the heart and teach the lessons of brotherhood.

It is good for all of us to recall now and then the high spots of our ritual and to keep in mind the continuity of the presentation.

The highest point in the solemn proceeding is the taking of the oath.

In this we took upon ourselves the lifetime promise to be loyal and to serve to the best of our abilities.

Along with the word love, I class loyalty and service as the finest and most significant words in our language.

These are the primary values that the fraternity stands for. They encompass the good things of life and any departure therefrom is to touch the figurative death which the ritual also speaks of in dramatic terms.

The fraternity calls to the individual to lose himself in projects of high worth, by which he can lessen the ties of self-interest. In this we do nothing but copy and emphasize the teachings of Jesus Christ. Self-worship is truly the way of destruction. Service to and consideration of others are the Great Physician's antidote.

The symbols of ideals of Pi Kappa Phi are both appropriate and attractive, as the latter section of the ritual recounts. Certainly we should not lose sight of the student's lamp in the light of your position as students.

Burn it at midnite, if need be, keep it filled with the oil of light, keep it lit all of your life. Study is a neverending demand. If we lose our status as interested and adequate students, then none is worthy of fraternity membership.

The story of the ritual is one of many wonderful promises to keep. If they are kept, then we as individuals can get the greatest comfort and joy from an inspirational association; we can assuredly say that Pi Kappa Phi is of the best as an organization, and will make wonderful history in the days ahead.

Let's keep our promises, and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God. 23
