WHICH WAY ALUMNI?

OLD GRADS CAN HELP IN UNDERGRADUATE RUSH BY BROTHER LEO H. POU, OMICRON

Is alumni participation in rush worthwhile? The immediate answer to this question, the one we would receive from most alumni, is a positive "NO." And there are many seemingly sound reasons for such a negative attitude. Let's examine some of them. In the first place, many of our alumni have adopted the "I was a Pi Kapp" attitude, and seem to feel that their fraternity was meaningful to them only during their undergraduate days. A sufficient comment on that attitude is that one who has adopted it is cheating himself, first of all, not to mention his being unfaithful to the obligation he took when he became a Pi Kapp. We have to recognize, however, that most of our alumni are quite busy men, and many of them honestly believe they have no time for continued fraternity activity. But we all admit the need for diversions, and many of us have found it both pleasant and rewarding occasionally to lay aside our professional burdens and business worries in favor of a small effort for our fraternity. Familiar Complaints

And there are those all-too familiar complaints against our undergraduate chapters, which run something like this : "I recommended an outstanding freshman and they didn't even rush him"; or "whether they even invited hi!f! to the house I do not know, as they never did acknowledge my letter"; or "those guys are too selective or too conceited to take anybody I recommend, so I'm not recommending anybody else." Such complaints and others akin to them are understandable. Almost every alumnus who has made a recommendation has been annoyed and discouraged at the failure of the undergraduate chapter to answer his letter and to do what he requested. I have experienced these feelings time and again. Of course, each letter of this type should be answered by the chapter,

all~~: I I

with an explanation of the action taken, make no excuse for anyone's being deJinqtJrr1ei in this respect. But even when no word co~~~ in response to a recommendation, I try to J1'1' ~I· allowances, realizing that college boys at:~ti~~~ ways busy, that few of them have letter-W 11,,1()!1 time and facilities, and-as to their being eol· selective"-that they, the undergraduate ~ 0 pl ?ers, must in the nature of things be the eri· Judges of those to be received as new me~? pol We alumni may-and should-recommen ' )JI the decision as to each new recruit haS ~~~~ made by the members of the undergra 'J11el' chapter. They make bad decisions sometJ a11o but so did we when we were at their age ' stage.

Opportunities b' There is another excuse frequently given, of! alumni for non-participation in rush. ~anhigPI them say that they have no contacts w1th 0vr school boys and therefore do not know an.~. to recommend for fraternity membershl ,ce~ dare say that most of us are overlooking ed It' lent . opportuniti~s to make contacts an eel! obtam needed mformation about prosP 11 oal Are you a Sunday School teacher of high sc yo~ (or even junior high) boys?

(from the three Pi Kapp chapters in our State) and rushees who are prospective students at those and several other colleges where we have chapters. Following the party the alumni have sent to the respective chapters the names of those of the prospects in attendance whom we think worthy of consideration. Not all (or even half) of the rushees have pledged to Pi Kappa Phi after entering college, but we have not let that discourage us. Enough of them have pledged to assure us that the party is well worthwhile.

Other Ways alu~~re are other ways in which an individual out e Us can assist in the rush program, with~lcarnXpending much effort or much money. t\\ro 0 ~~h: he could invite a favorite prospect or the lat ree prospects to lunch one day during llnder e summer, accompanied by at least one his hograduate member; or have them come to tush for an evening visit; or have a small and ab arty at his home, with a few rushees attend out as many undergraduate members in found ance.

An Affirmative Answer So the question asked above receives from me a strong affirmative answer. I say that any Pi Kapp alumnus, old or young, just out of college or decades away, may make a worthwhile contribution to his chapter's and other chapters' rush efforts if only he will try; and that in thus helping to infuse the fraternity with a continuous flow of new men-the very life blood it must have to survive and growthe alumnus will also reap for himself a splendid harvest of young friends and will himself be a younger man for the effort. (Editor's Note: Brother Pou is a past National Secretary of Pi Kappa Phi and was the organizer of the Alabama Gulf Coast Alumni Chapter, Mobile, Alabama. He is general solicitor for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad. In Alabama, Brother Pou is known as Mr. Pi Kappa Phi.)

SUMMER RUSH FUNCTIONS In line with Brother Pou's suggestions on alumni participation in rush, here are some tips on how you can plan and carry out summer rush functions in your community. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the potential benefit awarded the entire fraternity system and Pi Kappa Phi in particular by the initiation of a series of rush functions held during the summer months. These rush parties can assume various forms and details but their purpose remains constant : 1. To introduce potential members to Pi

Kappa Phi Fraternity and the members in their hometowns. 2. To establish good community relations by publicizing the positive aspect of fraternities and specifically Pi Kappa Phi. 3. To continue and perpetuate active affiliation by our members following graduation from college. 4. To assure the ranks of members in a given geographical area are replenished with new initiates introduced to Pi Kappa Phi by their relatives, neighbors, and friends.

WHICH WAY AlUMNI? ... The basic concept of rush involves two individuals, the rusher (the member) and the rushee. Communication between these two individuals, no matter how basic or complex, organized or casual, inexpensive or costly, constitutes rush and rush is the life blood of a fraternity. Competition among fraternities has always been keen. It has become evident in the past few years that the fraternity with the greater degree of organized rush programming and the higher number of contacts will in the long run remain competitive and operate at a higher level. The final choice of a fraternity is a difficult decision for a freshman in college to make. The final choice is often made on the basis of one "extra" remembrance that allows one fraternity to stand out among all of the organizations rushing him. What better remembrance for a freshman to have when selecting his fraternity than for him to know that Pi Kappa Phi is actively represented in his hometown and that the local alumni were interested enough in him to invite him to their horne for a visit? A summer rush party is a social affair and as in any social affair, the amount of planning and preparation is directly proportional to the success of the party. In many instances the rough edges will be smoothed out by the general harmony of fraternity brothers of all ages meeting and talking but the basic organizing is a direct necessity. The following structure and outline has produced results in past years in various areas of the country. The alumni must be organized around a hard core of individuals who will act as an Executive Committee. This Executive Committee (three to four men) will plan and outline the particular assets that are available and incorporate them into a finished product, a successful summer rush party. A committee of undergraduates can co-ordinate with the alumni and add whatever assistance and legwork is needed. It should be noted that the alumni should be the stimulating factor and work with the undergraduates and their rush chairman, if there are undergraduate in the geographic area. Here is a good time table :

-Formulate initial ideas of time, place, tYP( of affairs to be held and responsibilitY 0 each alumnus participating. Late Spring

Meeting of Executive Committee to: -Evaluate assistance from local undergrlld· uates' completion of list of rushees. . e -Assign each member of the ExecU~ 1 ~ Committee a list of names of alumni contact and line up for the party. ,0 I c -Make final selection of: Date (first weeks in August usually a good tirne J Time ( 6 :30 to 9 p.m. proven to be goo~ time) ; Location (private home; state P 11 ~. ~~ or picnic area; lo~al clu~ or. country cl~; hotel or motel with swimrnmg pool; re ~I c taurant) ; Dress (informal with open~~~ shirts) ; Speaker or Program (keep it Jill' and general) . v 11 -Notify the National Office so that we ell I ~ help you in requested ways.

Pi Kappa Phi Scholars For 1963 Nine Bright Young Men Win Fraternity's Praise

der clu Sci

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 1963 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.

DR. DONALD R. COME NAMED PI KAPPA PHI SCHOLARSHIP CHAIRMAN With the. announcement this year of the Pi Kapp Scholars comes the announcement of a new chairman for the fraternity's Scholarship Committee. Dr. Donald R. Come, professor of social studies at Michigan State University, has been named chairman of the Scholarship Committee of Pi Kappa Phi. He succeeds Dr. Will E. Edington, originator of the annual Scholar awards, who devoted 34 years of continual service to the fraternity. Brother Come, 42, has been a member of the faculty of Michigan State University since 1947. In addition to his present duties in the Social Science Department of the university, he is the examiner in social science in the office of evaluation services office and is chairman of the Great Issues Course which is offered as a capstone course to seniors and honors students and draws its faculty from all of the colleges of the university.

Past National President of Pi Kappa Phi Howard D. Leake once said of Brother Edington : "He is 'Mister Scholarship' in the Fraternity, not only because of his length of service but also because of his sincere persistence in the cause of scholarship in general and in his driving desire to have Pi Kappa Phi rank among the highest in this channel of accomplishment."

Mu Chapter at Duke University and Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Florida are winners of Pi Kappa Phi's two annual scholarship awards. Mu Chapter has won the Will E. Edington A ward-for the second year in succession-for obtaining the highest scholastic standing of any chapter in the fraternity. Alpha Epsilon has won the Karl M. Gibbon Award for making the greatest scholarship improvement within the past year. Mu Chapter ranks first in scholarship among the 18 fraternities on the Duke campus. Alpha Epsilon ranks fourth among the 26 Florida fraternities. The Edington Award was estab-

lished by the Supreme Council in 1958. It is a rotating award that has been won by four chapters since it was established. This year marks the third year Mu Chapter has taken the award. Other chapters that have won the award are Rho at Washington and Lee University, Gamma at the University of California, Beta Upsilon at the University of Virginia. The Gibbon Award was established at the 1960 Supreme Chapter. It is awarded to the chapter making the greatest scholarship improvement in the current year as compared with the preceding year.

ALPHA, COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Alpha has embarked on a new year bigger and better than ever. Our enrollhlent is now up to twenty-the largest ever. During the summer a great deal of effort was put into remodeling our house. Floors were sanded, walls painted, and new furniture and drapes were added. Our efforts were not in vain since we are able to enter rush this year with far better quarters than any other fraternity on campus. We hope this will have a better effect on our pledge class. Also this year we see Alpha making plans to have at last a permanent residence. Since the beginning of the fraternity Alpha has been renting, due to its small size. However, with the expansion of the College of Charleston our membership rolls are increasing and we may now find it feasible to purchase our own home. However, we are still in the planning stages and have quite a way to go to complete our plans. We at Alpha also enjoyed having Pi Kapp College here. Because of it we were able to meet brothers from almost all of our chapters. Also, we think it gave the brothers a chance to see the founding place of Pi Kappa Phi and meet our living founder. MU, DUKE Spring semester of 1962, although in the distant past now, was indeed a big one for Mu, one that presents quite a challenge to this year's chapter. For the second consecutive semester Mu recorded the highest academic average among the fraternities on campus, thereby becoming the first recipient of the I. F. C. Scholarship plaque. Another important achievement was the winning of the Horace Inman Citizenship trophy, awarded to the fraternity contributing most to campus life. Along with these honors, Mu came throu~h with a fine class of new brothers, another good soc1al schedule, and an award for the best-built chariot in the annual Greek Week activities. Brother Ray Vickery was tapped for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa and Red Friars, senior leadership honoraries, while Gary Nelson became a member of the Old Trinity Club, another senior honorary. Fall semester 1963 has also been great, under the leadership of Archon Bill Belvin. Five pledges graced the halls of old Pi Kapp: Read Cone, East Aurora, New York; Dave Johnson, Skaneateles, New York; Tom Evans, South Salem, New York; Ron Gates, Newport News, Virginia; and Ray Ratliff, Bluefield, West Virginia. Jim O'Kelly and Tom Evans led the Y. M. C. A. as President and Vice-President, respectively. Tom also headed the Dads' Day Committee this fall. Butch Atwater is chairman of the Freshman Advisory Council of the "Y." Bob Sheheen chairs the Student Union Major Attractions Committee. Gary Nelson is editor of the Chronicle, the Duke ·student newspaper. Ray Ratliff is Treasurer of the Men's Student Government 8

LAMBDA, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA Lambda here at the University of Georgia is looking forward to a very good year. A well planned and smooth-runn~ng rush netted us thirty pledges whom we truly believe to be good "Pi Kapp" material. This q'!arter we won first. place in the annual Homecoming D1splay contest, a tnbute to the effectiveness of combined brother-pledge spirit and work. The display featured a thirty-foot Georgia bulldog, an auburn eagle draped over: a football, and was centered around a theatre which presented the theme "Bye Bye Birdie." At least 1,200 hours went into it~ construction, and the final product was accented by a continuous tape playing the tune "Bye Bye Birdie." Winning the homecoming display is becoming a Pi Kapp tradition. We won first place in 1961 and second place in 1962. Special credit goes to brothers Tommy Cook and Hank Rienbecker, who ramrodded the whole project. The Pi Kapps distributed fruit to the local hospitals this Thanksgiving as a part of our community good will project. We have found that public relations can be a valuable method of better community understanding of the "fraternity way." Alumni of Lambda Chapter, University of Georgia please note that an alumni corporation of your chapte; is soliciting funds for chapter housing and furnishings. These alumni and your undergraduate chapter need your support. Won't you consider forwarding a check to the following: Mr. Robert Knox, Thomson, Georgia.

However, Xi should be strong in handball, swimming, and volleyball and should be respectable in basketball. GAMMA, U. OF CALIF. Gamma chapter is looking forward to a very successful fall semester after completing a formal rush which was the best in years. Our pledge class numbers seven men: Joe Akers, San Francisco; Paul Bagley and his brother Bruce, Berkeley; George Kelley, San Francisco; Rusty Patrick, Las Vegas; Phil Richards, San Diego; Bill Sherry, Berkeley. Success can be attributed to ideas derived from a very inspiring Pi Kapp College to which we sent three delegates, to Assistant Executive Secretary Ted Scharfenstein's encouragement and winning personality, which were exhibited during his Rush Week stay, and most important to real teamwork on the part of all the men in the house. Scholastically, we had the highest grade point average of all the groups living on campus. This record is one we are very proud of and we intend to keep it. Brother Alan T. Certik, past Archon, delegate to the '62 Supreme Chapter and the '63 Pi Kapp College has graduated and works in the Los Angeles area. Alan is a very dedicated Pi Kapp and the man who led Gamma chapter through some hard times in the past. We extend our deep gratitude and wish him the best of luck in his career. Brother Bill Merrill had to give up his duties as Chapter Advisor since his tremendous effort in that job put him behind in his doctorate thesis. We thank him for a very fine job and wish him the best in his academic career. Reverend C. J. Tyler, our new Chapter Advisor, is giving us very valuable assistance based on his long and varied experience and his devotion to Pi Kappa Phi. Socially our schedule includes a number of exchanges and theme parties, the climax of which will be our Riverboat party. We would like to extend a cordial invitation to all our Alumni to stop by the house any time they happen to be in Berkeley. We are going to have a fine year and we want to share it with our Alumni. IOTA, GEORGIA TECH Iota has enjoyed a very eventful fall, with its fall program getting off to a good start in the rush program from which ten new men were pledged. Soon thereafter four others were initiated. Iota celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of its founding at Georgia Tech this fall with a get-together with the alumni. With the help of alumni interest Iota is nearing the stages of the beginning of a new house. The plans have been approved and construction should begin the last of January. Several brothers received academic honors this quarter; among them were Bill Jordan who was elected to 10

Tau Beta Pi, and Bob Snuggs who was elected to pbi Kappa Phi. t After several years of floundering in the baseznellg of our football league, Iota was able to put together r respectable 4-1-1 record which included a victory ofi~e the league leaders, who had not lost a game in years.

With high morale and new officers we look forward to the big winter rush. ' ALPHA XI, BROOKLYN TECH At Alpha Xi, this past summer found a constant stream of hammering and sawing coming from the chapter house. The undergraduate brothers with the financial assistance of the Alumni had decided to renovate the main floor chapter roo.:ns. All work was done by t?e a~i.ve c~pter, under the direction of Brother Vm DIGiovanm, at a considerable saving to the. Alumni treasury. Work was finally completed durmg Help Week. Initiation was held the night before rush with Hank Backoffen, Rich Currie, Ed Duffy, Peter Glanton Joe La Rosa, and George Siracuse being initiated. ' Ru~h this semester got into high gear with the pledgmg of 15 men. The pledges are very active in both fraternity and school affairs. Alpha Xi placed second in the I.F.C. tackle football tournament. The tournament was held on Coney Island Beach and our chapter rewarded itself with a swim (usually fully clothed) after each game--even in November. We hope to make amends for our second place finish in the annual softball tournament. (Perhaps we should try a swimming tournament.) Alpha Xi is very proud that it has had five of its brotherhood elected to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities"-more than any other organization on campus. They are Brothers Joe Flaherty, Paul Boeker, Ralph Morano, Joe Poretta, and Jack Triessl. We are very proud of them. Pi Kapp is quite active in school politics this year having Brothers DiGiovanni, Flaherty and Morano on the student council. The newly-elected treasurer for next year is Brother Joe LaRosa. Brothers Floyd Baranello and Triessl are, respectively, Secretary and Vice President of the Student Activities Council. Both of this year's representatives to the N.I.C. were Pi Kapps-Bros. Baranello and Morano. We at Alpha Xi would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to any brothers attending the New York World's Fair next spring to visit the Alpha Xi Chapter House at 33 Sidney Place in Brooklyn. BETA TAU, VALDOSTA STATE Beta Tau has begun what is possibly the most successful year it has ever had. We have pledged twenty of the top men on campus.

minton team has done an excellent job; and we are looking forward to our basketball season. ALPHA IOTA, AUBURN Alpha Iota started off the year with a fine display of brotherhood and fraternity loyalty. The great majority of the members returned to Auburn the week before Rush Week in order to get. the house and grounds ready. Sunday, Rush began with an open house for the rushees, who had to visit at least twelve houses. During the week, entertaining was done at parties, dinners, jazz sessions, and many informal bull-and-beer sessions. During the week, we pledged 10 non-first-quarterfreshmen and on Bid Sunday, which came on Saturday this year, we pledged 25 more top-notch men. At the first meeting, Barry Shiflett was elected Pledge Class President for Fall Quarter. Fall initiation gave us three new and valuable brothers. Alfred Ramsey, Mobile; Jim Hines, Birmingham; and Ted Westbrook, Bremen, Georgia were brought into the lodge. Matching the Tigers, the Pi Kappa Phi football team ran up an astounding 5-0 record before bowing to the Phi Tau's in the league championship game, 13-7. Richard Robinson had an outstanding season at quarterback. Tommy Young, Frank Bonham, Stuart Horn and Bill Musarra all played in the high scoring backfield. Strong line play was provided by Billy Crane, Alfred Ramsey, Jim DeWitt, Bob Kilpatrick, Don Cole, Christy Christianson, and Lyn Watson. Newly elected officers are: Archon, Jim Ott, Atlanta; Treasurer, Lige Robbins, Montgomery; Secretary, Richard Workman, Ft. Lauderdale; Historian, Harry Baldwin, Canton, Miss.; Chaplain, Billy Sims, Mobile; Warden, John Christianson, Mobile; Social Chairman, Danny Flournoy, Montgomery. ALPHA OMICRON, IOWA STATE Iowa State Pi Kapps are doing well in campus activities. Brothers Kelley Bergstrom, Des Moines, Iowa, and Patrick Ryan, Oak Park, Ill., are taking prominent positions on Greek Week Central Committee. Kelley will be serving as activities coordinator for the all week occasion. Pat will be handling the budget and bills as business manager. In some of the more scholarly activities, brother Ralph Ruedy has been excelling. Ralph is on the varsity Iowa State debate squad and is president of his departmental club, the History and Government Club. Pledge Russell Johnson, Ankeny, Iowa, has been spending quite a bit of his time with the campus newspaper and has recently become advertising manager. Alpha Omicron recently purchased the property immediately north of its present location with plans for house expansion. The brothers are all anxious for more detailed plans to get under way. Scholarship has taken an upswing lately. Official standings for the quarter are not out yet, but things are looking good with just over half the active chapter attaining an average of "B" or better. Brothers Tom Baker, Lombard, Ill., and Lynn Hess, Waterloo, Iowa, have done especially well as shown by their recent admission to the mechanical engineers' honorary fraternity Pi Tau Sigma. Alpha Omicron is pleased to have Jon A. Doerflinger, Ames, Iowa, as its new chapter adviser. Mr. Doerflinger iR an assistant professor of economics and sociology at Iowa State.

TAU, N. C. STATE Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is in the process ?f making the biggest move since we were chartered 1 ~ 1920. Some time ago the idea of a Fraternity Row Wll brought before the Board of Directors here at Nort~ Carolina State and was approved. This new concept 0e a "Greek Village" at that time was much in the futu~e and Tau threw in its hat as a candidate for one of t t one hundred thousand dollar-plus houses. Plans w~ng forth, finances were discussed, and campus stand 1 5 was reviewed; Tau was one of the twelve Gree selected. The entire project was scheduled for co!llj pletion no later than September, 1963. Now, severlls months after the original completion date, Tau hll been notified that its new chapter house will be read~ for occupancy this February, .d Our new chapter house will be financed over a per10 of forty years, rent being $9,000 per year. The oJ?et tion of the fraternity will remain financially tn ~e pendent of college authority. Our budget will e expanded to cover forty brothers living in the h?U 55 and a seven-day-a-week kitchen. The new furnish~n·gs are being purchased through the college authorttled with chapter funds from the sale of our old house 11° from our savings account. In addition to a new chapter house, Tau is we]co!ll; ing for the first time the experience of having 0 housemother, Mrs. Nelsie K. Shortt. Mrs. Shortt, 5 former auditor from Dunn, N.

The Victorious Football Team ALPHA TAU, RENSSELAER During the time which has elapsed since our last chapter letter the Pi Kapps have continued to engage in many and varied activities. Latest house improvements include the installation of two new kitchen sinks, paneling of the bar annex, and the purchase of a new TV. Brother Ted York, former Sophomore and Junior class Vice-president, was recently named to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." Alpha Tau has taken the early lead in the Interfraternity competition for the Alumni Trophy by capturing the school championship in touch football. The team went undefeated in seven games behind the offensive play of quarterback W oznica and halfback Nichols and the fine defensive work of York and Krepick. The entire team worked together as a unit with a strong offense and an even stronger defense: Our golf team garnered a first place in their league, the finals to be held in the spring, and the tennis team captured a second place in their league. The hockey season has now begun and in our first five games we have gone undefeated, scoring thirty-five goals to our opponents' four. Socially, we are happy to report the success of our annual Sage Mixer, two open parties, and Homecoming Weekend. At homecoming we were pleased to welcome back over thirty alumni. Rushing this year has been deferred to the second semester so we will be able to report on that in our next letter. It is going to be a very confused period in our first year of the new system and we hope that all works well. BETA IOTA, UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO Beta Iota chapter has just finished one of the busiest periods of the school year. First there was rush, then even before rush was over, in quick succession, there was a homecoming float to build and a sorority party to be taken care of and a turkey dinner to be put on. The sorority party was a hootenanny (we hired a professional hooter and imported him from Bowling Green State). The turkey dinner was a big success thanks to the able leadership of Fred Tiller, and the many alums. We would like to express our thanks to the alums who were able to help physically and the many who helped monetarily. Our profits from the dinner went into refurnishing the living room furniture. After six weeks of planning, our crepe paper float was completed only minutes before the final deadline for the parade. We planned it that way so we would have a f1·esh float to take honors. Beta Iota chapter also gave great support to the Sertoma Club of Toledo in their drive for funds for crippled children. 13

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS ... BETA MU, McNEE E

TATE COLLEGE

During September of the new school term, Beta Mu of McNeese State College held its rush party. Brother Mel Metcalfe provided some magical entertainment and gave an inspiring talk to prospective pledges. This year invitations were sent out to selected men who could best aid the Beta Mu chapter. The pledges of Beta Mu chapter held their first meeting and elected their pledge class officers: Ed Potratz, president; John Baldwin, secretary; and David Taylor, treasurer. The new pledges were honored with a hayride which ended on the beach, where hot dogs and cold drinks were served. We of Beta Mu wish to salute Earn Jolet for his outstanding efforts on behalf of Pi Kappa Phi. Earn came back to McNeese the fall semester three years ago and found that he was the last Pi Kapp on the campus. What we have today at Beta Mu chapter is due solely to Earn's efforts. He received the award of "Outstanding Active" last semester for his work. This is the only award of this type ever given by Beta Mu. On the twenty-third of November Miss Sheila Kelly became the bride of Brother Earn Jolet. Maids for this year include Kathy Clawson, Sue Doiron, and Joan Valee. At the annual Christmas party Miss Sue Doiron was crowned the "Rose of Pi Kappa Phi." John Baldwin of Lake Charles received a plaque as the outstanding pledge. BETA ALPHA, NEWARK

Beta Alpha begins the 1963 fall semester with a great air of enthusiasm and anticipation, hoping to pick up where last spring semester left off. The 1963 Rose Ball was a great success which was attended by a large number of alumni and honored guests as well as brothers. This year's Rose Ball is to be held early in March, and plans are well under way for this gala event. In addition to the Rose Ball, Beta Alpha chapter looks forward to its Founders Day Dinner, at which Executive Secretary Durward Owen is expected to appear. The newly installed Scholarship Awards have had a great effect on the scholarship of the entire chapter. Last semester's awards for most improved and also highest grade point average went to Secretary Richard Brusco. Brother Richard Riccardi, past editor of the Beta Alpha Particles and column writer for many of the school publications, was recently installed as a member of the national honorary journalism society Pi Delta Epsilon. The 1963 fall semester has been a very successful one for our rush program. Under the direction of Brother Thomas McCann and his rush committee, Beta Alpha Chapter pledged a total of nineteen neophytes in November. One reason for the success of the rush program was the publication of a new rush manual which was distributed to all prospective pledges. Beta Alpha will therefore retain its maximum membership requirements, despite a large graduation loss last semester. The highlights of the social calendar this semester will be the Christmas party, New Year's party and the annual Playboy party which has always been a success. Because of the success and enjoyment of last ~ear's orphan's party, the chapter will again hold the party at a nearby orphanage. Although Beta Alpha chapter continues to grow in size and stature it has been unable, this semester, to secure a new house which it needs so badly. The alumni and the undergraduates of the chapter are working hard toward securing this house as soon as possible. Beta Alpha just missed winning the I. F. C. football league this fall and ended its season with just one 14

scheme of things but not knowing its place in everyday affairs. The fraternity world has not been able to make capital of the lesson that when there is no Altar the chapter dies, ormore accurately-never lives. The rock of strength that the Altar provides is shown by the good fraternity chapter as it rushes, pledges, properly trains, and initiates good men. Adherence to the Altar assures the supremacy of good conduct, leadership, scholarship, loyal alumni, and even good housing. But above all it assures a joyous brotherhood whose gifts touch Eternity. In the days of the Hebrew prophet Amos, the world of his people was askew, their institutions were riding a pendulum. Then, in a vision before Amos, God appeared standing astride the tilted city and its leaning walls with His arms outstretched and in His hands a plumbline. And God spoke to Amos, saying, "I will set you, as a plumbline, amongst my people." The plumbline of Amos is in the altar of the fraternities, and it tells them, as nothing else can, which side is up in this topsy-turvy world. Certain chapters go on year after year maintaining their houses on the paramount living belief in the Fatherhood of God, training their neophytes accordingly, and giving their members an ideal fraternity experience. But with such chapters, ironically, communication so often is accomplished with little recourse to vocabulary; the essential lessons are conveyed from one class

to the next to a large extent by wordless example, and also to a large extent by the language of the heart which is the language of the altar but nevertheless has no palpable tongue. These chapters demonstrate what a great thing a college fraternity can be when the altar is there. It is Dean Shofstall's contention that fraternity leaders on the whole are ignorant of the proper methods of teaching their members, and they themselves too frequently fail to learn how to understand the ritual and practice what it preaches. On many campuses the fraternity system is gradually being enveloped by an alien environment. The Greeks are threatened by a growing complex of obstacles, and so long as ignorance ·with respect to obeying the ritual continues as the order of affairs, the future is not bright. Dean Shofstall, who is a Sigma Tau Gamma, believes that outdated methods of selecting members, immature methods of choosing either personal or group activities, and perhaps above all superficial. methods of training members may be laid at the door of ignorance. Yet nothing is done about it. Time was when the aimless fraternity chapter could go on living a pointless existence, and unless it fell grievously out of line or failed under the burden of its own inertia and aimlessness it was tolerated and it went on. But no longer. The world is in revolution and the campus is in ferment. Materialistic

What's Happening to the Altar c o ntinued

The fraternity system has ideals ... are they being lived up to? forces, dynamic as they have become, threaten to tum over everything; the campus, where doubletalk gives birth to confusing and enervating value systems, and even the church where religion has been transmuted into a phony opiate. These basic institutions are askew. The language of brotherhood has become muffled. The college fraternity, helpless to command the tongue which explains the altar, or to follow it, fails to justify itself. No one has described the job the fraternities must do better than John Henry Frizzell, former chaplain of Pennsylvania State University and ritualist of Phi Kappa Psi, who puts it this way: "The American college fraternity system is living up neither to its job nor its opportunity. It is not turning out men who stand head and shoulders in our American life above the run-of-themill citizens as examples of high character, sound ideals, and four-square Americanism. . . . The tendency toward moral deterioration, particularly with respect to simple honesty, trustworthiness, and loyalty to principles, is not being combated in our fraternities to the extent that it should be The fraternity system has ideals and opportunities unequaled in the whole college setup for inculcating and developing these simple characteristics in- the supposedly intelligent men who are its members. Is it doing it? You know that it isn't." The solution? The altar, of course. Dr. Frizzell urges: "Go back to your altars. Listen again to those almost inspired words of your rituals, of the charges. They are not mumbo-jumbo or hocus-pocus, they are practical ideals, creeds to live by. philosophies of life, which, if you'll let them, can change your whole life and make living a real , worthwhile adventure. In those rituals, you'll find God and the teachings of Jesus." Relision: Take It or Leave It?

As the campus is letting religion fade farther and farther into the background, the fraternities are tending to let it fade also. Society as a whole is responsible too. A fraternity chapter without an altar is nothing. The campus which fails to place God above the curriculum isn't much either. Without religion, higher education has gone ludicrously off the beam. Dean Shofstall reveals just how disturbed he is by the problems of campus atheism when he says: "Many think there is some sort of compromise between atheism and religion. Many think religion is a private matter and not of concern for everybody. Others do not even realize that religion is the essence of

our way of life. Very few even know how our lives, our fraternity, our university, and our nation owe their past, their present, and, above all else, their future to religion." The lesson is that we must make religious ideals and values of fraternities a link to the daily lives of the members. "Fraternities are based upon a morality based upon religion which is based upon belief in God," Dean Shofstall asserts. "Knowing God is not a single achievement in time and space. Knowing God is instead a process--a way of life." Pledge education fails unless this truth is brought home. He goes on to say that "The fraternity is the essential bridge between the church and the university. However, the university is today unfriendly to the social fraternity in the same way and for the same reason the university is often unfriendly to all religious and spiritual values." Dean Shofstall censures the paganism of Alma Mater in these words: "Higher education ... has become nonreligious. The new or modern university is either neutral toward God or rejects Him. This is not as it should be!'' And so the paganism of Alma Mater may well be the most horrible living fact on the horizon of higher education today, for when paganism characterizes an environment, the language of brotherhood is discredited. It is made to seem unfashionable and inappropriate. It soon falls out of use. In their initiation ceremonies, the fraternities light a candle in this darkness, but it should be a radiant, everlasting light. Alas! When the ritual is laid away, fraternity leadership, being so often tongue-tied, seems ignorant, again walks in ignorance, and talks in ignorance. And it is caught in the broad, swift current of materialism. Communication fails; the light goes out. The Tyranny of Words Twenty-five years ago, Stuart Chase wrote a book titled The Tyranny of Words in which he stated that many of the world's misfortunes were caused by the failure of language as a tool of communication. He 14b

ol questioned whether modern methods wf mass education promoted as much .kl1°0 ~ edge in the student's mind as they drd cur· fusion. "We need true meanings for :b~ viva!," he said, and lamented the fact an! no teacher was teaching such meanmgs sJ" that there was scarcely a chair of se~~~~ tics (the study of meanings) in an.Y cofrO~ in the country. "We need protecuon rrotl chasms made by words as well as ,, bl dangerous ditches across the highwaY• ro~ asserted. Chase represented the dange n0 chasms as blabs-semantic blanks wh~etb~ meaning comes through. He pro~ose roe~ semantics would bring a standard mto tiJl where man could "at least agree thatflle~ statement makes sense and that state makes blab." . est6 Fraternity leaders must learn wrth gr d ,r confidence that words which are Jearn~e,rt the altar are not blab; the job is to ~~! them well, understand how to use thefllfsit~ daily, to rely on them with complete and not to avoid using them.

Why the 'I don't care' attitude so prevalent among today' s students? rogant of spirit, who walk daily with God, are the salt of the earth. Such men are described as being upright and good beside the altar of the chapter house. The adjectives upright and good are of little formal consequence to Alma Mater. On the other hand, the ultima thule of the scholar astride the pendulum appears to be mastery of a specific field of knowledge. And so he leads his students down the garden path with respect to the proper meaning of life, for he confuses his own pallid goal with their own more sanguine one. Josiah Royce, an American philosopher of the early century, held that the permanence of a man's values and commitments is the measure of his immortality. The good fraternity chapter has the man of the Beatitudes in focus; but the new,

The Meanln• of the Altar Too little space remains for me to show the application of a fraternity discipline of semantics to the greatest of all teaching. In n manuscript titled Educating for Broth trhood, I discuss application of this teaching for collegians. I anticipate that a new type of manual must soon replace the old which has grown obsolete. The carry-over of the ritual into a true textbook of the principles of brotherhood brings the light of the Sermon on the Mount on many issues which today harass collegians. Often called the greatest truth the world has ever known, the Lord's commandment

ts a positively stated summary with psychological guidelines of the Ten Commandments. On the Mount, Jesus gave it during his sermon, when a lawyer of the Pharisees asked Him, "Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law " Jesus said unto him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. and with all thy mind. This is the first and

great commandment. And the second is like unto it, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' On these · two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." All! The so-called Christian world's great black mark is that so little effort has been made to communicate the truth of this commandment-that is, "to bridge the blabblab chasm" to the hearts and minds of men. A healthy society-and should not the campus be a healthy society?-has vitality in three realms : the intellectual, the physical, and the spiritual. Judea-Christian doctrine says that man is made of body. mind. and spirit. True health is possible only when all three dimensions of existence are healthy. Fraternity life respects all three dimensions. George D. Stoddard, chancellor of New York University. a Sigma Pi, says the same thing when he advises us to go back, whenever we can, to the three-dimensional, nonmagical world of muscles, organs, and sensory perceptions. He explains, "Away from the clutter of wot ds, there is what the physiologists call the wisdom of the body. It is older than any culture. Its controlling mechanisms lie below the cerebral cortex, running deep into every fiber ." Dr. Stoddard's warning concerning over-intellectualization is this: "Having gone from good specimens of animals-as a naturalist would rate them -to rather weak, pale. unexercised. dependent creatures-all in order to achieve the higher virtues of speech, history, and technology-man is now, through notable defects in social and spiritual quality, in danger of losing this new life." In the fraternity leadership training program . despite scattered exceptions, the topics invariably dealt with-rush, pledge education, public relations, alumni relations, scholarship, conduct and social affairs. and all the others-get seeds down only into barren soil where they die or lie until that soil can be prepared. It cannot be prepared by philistines. The discussants of the usual topics can prepare the soil when

arship to provide the desired results. Athletically, the Chapter was the over-all intramural winner on campus. Under the leadership of intramural director John Veit the Brotherhood compiled a total of 450 points out of a possible 700. Socially, Committee Chairman Rich Nicolosi, fashioned an array of unique parties second to none on campus. Among these were: Western, Roman Toga and Beatnik parties. Academically, the Brotherhood once again was able to maintain our anticipated average. We were ranked second over-all on campus with a one point two index. Our spring pledge class maintained our successful trend, providing the Brotherhood with 25 pledges, 23 in all became active members. At our last meeting in May, 1963, Brothers John Rumpf, Dennis Faust and Gene Chelbicki volunteered to return early in September to place the Chapter House in readiness. The doors were officially open September 15, 1963, and the year was under way. In our first meeting of the school year, Archon Aaron Dowd made evident the standards we must uphold and purported a program which if complied to ,...-ould enable Beta Lambda to surpass our achievemen~ of the prior years. As the brothers look back and take account of the events of the past three months, we must conclude that the high standards that were expected are gradually coming into view. Our Alumni relations are better than ever. Graduate Brothers Jerry Bobier, Bob Bailey, David Pinholster, Leo Diaz and Gene Green are working diligently to assure that Beta Lambda maintains its summit on campus. The Alumni has taken an active interest in preparation for the district conclave to be held at Beta Lambda in February, 1964. An enormous amount of the accomplishments of a fraternity are expressed through committees. Under the supervision of our advisors Charles Hyde and William Cyzewski the committees have sufficiently been able to fulfill their prescribed tasks. The social committee with our permanent chaperons Brothers Charles Hyde and William Cyzewski have provided the best parties ever. By popular demand--of our advisors, an additional form of refreshment has been added to our parties, "food." Thanks to our lawn display and float committees our showing in the Homecoming festivities was a good one. Our lawn display took first place over-all and our float placed second among the fraternity entries. Congratulations are in order to the brothers of those committees: Lawn-display-Jerry Mazurowski, Bob Hiltonen, Jim Gorman, Dick Jester, Phil Powers and Mike Kernen; Float-Dan Carroll, Bubba Gragnani, Cliff Finkle, George Romano, Don Small, Dave Villari and Mike Zidek. .

PHA OMEGA, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON The White ~iamond of Pi Kappa Phi has reappeared at the University of Oregon. After Assistant Executive Secretary Ted Scharfenstein's reorganizational visit here this fall, Alpha Omega chapter has averaged one pledge per week of school. Being a completely underclass organization we are presently concentrating on scholarship and expansion of the chapter. Assisted and guided by alumni Jack Steward, Don Costa, Dr. Charles Wright and Alan Graves, Alpha Omega is now seeking a new home. At the present time we are conducting all of our business and meetings at the Student Union in conjunction with monthly breakfast meetings held at a local restaurant.

chapter. As for religious organizations, the chapter has brothers and pledges in all of the Protestant organizations on campus. The chapter has several officers and offices in BSU (Baptist Student Union) for instance. There are several new ideas, programs, and activities which are being undertaken by the chapter this quarter. Probably of prime importance is the chapter's room committee. Georgia State, under its new expansion program, is constructing a new student building which will be available next year for all of the fraternities on campus. This committee is working on the purchasing of new furniture and decorations for the new chapter room, to be ready for rush Fall quarter 1965. In connection with campus activities our Warden, brother Don Voyles, is in charge of the Georgia State Homecoming. This is the second year in a row that a Pi Kapp has been in charge of this activity. In connection with pledge education, the chapter has formed within its pledge class a pledge education committee similar to the chapter's scholarship committee. This committee will attempt to help register the pledges for their courses in school and to advise them about teachers, subjects, and counselors. By the aid of the two education committees, the chapter has been able to stay within the bracket of the overall men's average in school. All this past year alumni relations have been improved. We in the chapter have tried various means to obtain alumni support for the chapter. By the aid of two Pi Kapp faculty members, Mr. 0. Z. White and Dr. Patrick, Beta Kappa's alumni. rela~ions have been greatly improved. Standard questwnna1re forms were sent out to all of the alumni this year, the purpose of which was to find out what alumni could have time to donate to the chapter. Brother Russ Middleton had a great part in this operation. By his aid, all of our present up-to-date information concerning the alumni was obtained. Brother Middleton was responsible for the alumni turnout at our Rose Ball this past year. In connection with sports, the chapter was able to obtain an alumnus of the chapter for its football coach. Through his aid, the team this year is better organized and coordinated. Of the interesting events that have currently happened, Georgia State College has recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Beta Kappa Chapter was well represented during the activities during this period and plans to have several events connected with the school's anniversary. As far as the future events of the chapter are concerned the chapter plans to better improve its alumni relatio~s by creating activities which will include alumni participation. Along this line will be the attempt to have a better Founder's Day Banquet this year. As far as ~arties. go, the chapte~ plans to have future joint functwns WJ~h other fr~termt1es on campus. Also stag functions are m the makmg for both brothers and alumni. 17

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS ... nETA BETA, FLORIDA SOUTHERN Having returned from a very active summer the brothers immediately plunged into an exciting rush week. With the aid of our Orlando alumni we had a successful ski party and banquet. There were only a limited number of men (48) out for rush this semester and out of this number Pi Kapp picked up the five sharpest men. They are: James Whitaker, Lakeland, Fla.; Jimmy Berry, Marietta, Ga.; John L. Sullivan, Orlando, Fla.; Shelton McLauren, Seabrook, Md.; and Thomas Addenbrook, Pompano Beach, Fla. The Officers for the fall semester are: William Dicks, Archon; William Engel, Treasurer; Bradford Kinney, Secretary; William Edman, Historian; Joseph Dalton, Warden; John Davis, Chaplain; and Kenneth Brown, Pledgemaster. We are proud to announce our new chapter advisor. He is Clayton Lyons. Clayton is in charge of research and develop~nt of new products fo'r Florida Tile, Inc. We feel that Brother Lyons will help this chapter with his wise advice. Recently initiated brothers are: Frank Baque, Miami, Fla.; William Beckman, Sarasota, Fla.; Bascom "Happy" Carlton, Enterprise, Fla.; Dale Hamm, Lodi, Ohio; Peter Hunter, St. Croix, Virgin Islands; Craig Jacobsen, Winter Park, Fla.; Dickson Kesler, Hollywood, Fla.; John McLeod, Jacksonville, Fla.; and Ronald Myers, Winter Park, Fla. We also initiated the Rev. John Cook, professor of religion here at Florida Southern. Beta Beta is proud of the fact that we had the most brothers of any chapter at Pi Kapp College. The brothers who attended were Bill Dicks, Bill Engel, Dale Hamm, John Davis, John McLeod and Ken Brown. They came back with many new ideas on how to improve the chapter. We started our intramural pl'ogram for this semester with volleyball amd later in the year rag-tag football. We are very optimistic this year and expect to take home a few trophies. Brother Bill Dicks was voted the Most Valuable Athlete for crew last year. Bill rowed in the stroke position. Other brothers on the crew team were Dale Hamm and John McLeod. On the soccer team this year are brother Dave Thorne and pledges John L. Sullivan and Jimmy Berey. Our annual Gold and White Dance was held at Garden Club. The highlight of the evening came when the brothers and pledges serenaded our new Sweetheart. She is Miss Billie Diane Eaker. Billie is an AOPi from St. Petersburg, Fla. At the beginning of this semester we set many hearts a-flutter as we serenaded the Freshman women. For many days after the girls went around with stars in their eyes and we received many compliments from them. For the second year in a 'row Pi Kappa Phi won the President's Gold Hat Award. This is presented to the fraternity that is judged the best on the campus. All the brothers should be congratulated for their fine effort and hard work. It seems that Cupid has run out of arrows around this house as four bl'others marched down that long aisle. AI Lewison married the former Bonnie Belloc, ADPi and former Sweetheart of Beta Beta. Roy Nelson married the former Susan Norris, Alpha Gam. Chuck Pietersz and Sandy Hornbeck of Lakeland exchanged vows this summer and Larry Marchant and Susan Meye'rl said "I do" this summer also. ALPHA PSI, INDIANA UNIVERSITY Pi Kappa Phi at Indiana University has a new home. The new house has been the home of many fraternities on the Indiana University campus and has 18

made them thriving institutions. Alpha Psi ChaPter has the hope that it too will grow here. n Our new house has the capacity to house 15 Jl\:n comfortably, 20 men with some squeezing, and 25 ~ s with a shoe horn. This house has dining facilit~~ where the previous house had no kitchen and preven any type of meal from being served. .1 The Chapter is still moving in, and it looks Jiket~e will take the rest of the semester to complete move and the redecoration of the house. ·n·\l Seven men now live in the house. Through contl ul ous rush, it is hoped that this chapter will move abOr's eight more men in before the close of this semeste activities.

Pi Kapp Alumni Show Their Loyalty Although it. is too early for a final report, the 1963-1964 Voluntary Dues Program can be declared a r esounding success. The 1963 co-chairmen, Congressman Syd Herlong and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio President Glen Brock, had an announced goal of 1,000 alumni contributing. The National Council conside'red for budget purposes an expected income of $7,000.00. Both of these goals have been exceeded. As of January 1, 1964, the total dues collected amounted to $10,293.00. This represents the participation of 1109 alumni. This third year of the Voluntary Dues Program compared to $5,649.50 received from 655 alumni in 1961 is indeed an achievement of which Pi Kappa Phi can be exceedingly proud. Our alumni are "our most important asset."

Fraternity Averages Up TAMPA, Fl-ORIDA ALUMNI

~cation

Scholastic averages of fraternity members at U. S. colleges now exceed the all-men's averages on a majority of campuses where fraternities are located, according to the National Interfraternity Conference. The NIC figures for the academic year 1961-62 show that the all-fraternity average exceeded the allmen's average in 58.1 per cent of the colleges reporting. For the academic year a decade ago, only 40.7 per cent of the schools reported fraternity averages above the all-men's averages. Accompanying the increase in the number of schools with a superior all-fraternity average has been a similar improvement in the nationwide percentage of individual fraternity chapters above the all-men's averages.

Robert Collier, in his book entitled The Law of The Higher Potential, refers to "reaching into the master mind." While he referred to group dynamics as it applied to teaching, the same principle applies in executive committee or board management. Pi Kappa Phi's National President, John W. Deimler, 50, is a Pennsylvanian of unswerving loyalty and integrity. He drives towards his targets unrelentingly. National Treasurer Frank Hawthorne, 40, is an enthusiastic, intelligent, firebrand attorney from Montgomery, Alabama. National Secretary Kim Jepson, 56, is a Michigan advertising executive with an incisive mind, analytical to a happy degree . National Histo·rian Mel Metcalfe, 56, is a Texas insurance executive with a tremendous capacity for inspiring those around him to great heights of performance. National Chancellor Tom Henderson, 62, is an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Florida, who has a flair for organization and an understanding of undergraduate chapter management. Past National President J. AI Head, 50, is a high-ranking official with the U. S. Department of Highways from Washington, D. C., with a lovable gruffness about him which covers a deep love for mankind. You see, these men come from the East. They come from the South. They come from the West. They come from the points in between, Michigan and Texas. They range in age from too old to play baseball to too old to play period. Compositely, they add up to a tremendous leader-

self, to which he gives such loyal devotion that the self is forgotten in the process. It is also true, however, that this loyalty may be to a cause or an ideal that is unworthy. He must choose his ideals carefully. He would do well to choose to be loyal to the principles of his fraternity. There is a second implication of this idea of choosing our ancestors. It also means as far as our fraternity is concerned, that we will be loyal to the organization which is called Pi Kappa Phi. A fraternity is more than a set of ideals. It is an organic entity with officers houses, alumni chapters. It makes pronounce~ ments, offers fellowship, needs moral and financial support. A very real part of choosing to be loyal to the spirit of our "fraternal ancestors" is being loyal to the organization which they established and of which we are all still members. The idea is certainly applicable to other realms. A man who says "I am a loyal democrat," but who never votes for or works for the democratic party would have trouble justifying his claim. There are many who profess loyalty to the church, but who never darken the door or support her causes financially. It is hard to take their profession seriously. By the same token, it is difficult to call a man loyal to Pi Kappa Phi whose loyalty consists of a fond memory of an activity in which he participated when he was an undergraduate. The famous Harvard professor, Josiah Royce published a volume more than fifty years ago entitled "The Philosophy of Loyalty." Among the many cogent remarks in this book are these words : "There is only one way to be an ethical individual, that is to choose your cause and then to serve it." There is no more fitting advice for our time. I would urge you to choose your ancestors carefully. I would also urge you to remember the "fraternal ancestors" of Pi Kappa Phi, whose ideals and whose organization are eminently worthy of your loyal support. 25
