CHARLESTON AND DREXEL TOP ALL CHAPTERS Again, the coveted Champion Master Chapter Award is shared by two undergraduate chapters, ALPHA and ALPHA UPSILON, for 1965. Both of these Chapters received this award for their excellence of chapter operations at this year's Pi Kapp College. They replace MU Chapter, Duke, last year's winner.

The runner-up Master Chapters were also recognized at Pi Kapp College. They were in order of final ranking: EPSILON-Davidson; BETA PHI-East Carolina; MU-Duke; BETA XI-Central Michigan; GAMMA BETA-Old Dominion; and BETA UPSILON-University of Virginia.

Admittedly, it is difficult to rate fraternity chapters in the physical sense. Fraternalism being intangible, it is difficult to place numerical value on chapters' performances. However, in an attempt to do so, the Master Chapter rating is based as follows : Obtaining Membership Goal 100 Obtaining scholarship goal (above all-men and all-fraternity average) 100 Finances 100 Submission and completion of Green Report 50 Three issues of Chapter publication 30 Two Chapter Letters for THE STAR AND LAMP 20 The above are tangible evidences of good chapter administration. The basic coverage includes internal chapter administration and also alumni relations for overall coverage. Again admitting that we cannot grade fraternalism, the above system does establish a worthwhile goal toward which the undergraduate chapters may strive. In striving for these goals, it often follows that the intangible aspects of fraternal life also benefit.

MOST IMPROVED CHAPTER Central Michigan 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 Award 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 for any particular period.

The chapter so honored in 1965 for this distinctive award is BETA XI, Central Michigan University. Upsilon, University of Illinois, was a very close runner-up and certainly deserves recognition for an outstanding job of improvement.

Taking into consideration all areas of chapter operations, BETA XI exhibited outstanding improvement. The Chapter made significant gains in total membership, scholarship, and housing.

Ph:

The newest edition of Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines the word fraterni as follows : ov1 1 "A student organization formed chiefly for social purposes, having secret rites 8 vid a name consisting of Greek letters." thE It is a rare occasion, indeed, when I find myself challenging such an august work as Webster's Dictionary, but in this instance, I do dispute it. I disagree with the definition because it falls short of an accurate description of what a fraternity is. It does not go far enough.

For any fraternity worthy of its salt commits itself to a far broader involvement in coll.ege and campus life than the definition would imply.

True, fraternities do serve as a social forum.

True, they do have secret rites.

True, they do have names consisting of Greek letters.

But I know from my own participation in the life of the University of North Carolina chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, that it is egually true that fraternities provide student body leadership, scholastic leadership and athletic leadership. I myself joined my fraternity brothers in assisting in various fund drives for scholarships, for charities and for college projects.

I myself have participated along with my fraternity brothers in church, civic and community undertakings. And, I might add that we had good success in the majority of our projects.

Contributing Factors In short, then, fraternities constitute contributing factors within the scholastic, governmental and social framework of the university community, and to the municipality in which t he college or university is seated.

In addition, I learned quickly in our house at Chapel Hill that our fraternity provided an ideal climate for human interaction since it was a miscroscopic likeness of our American society. Because of the size of our chapter, I was able to know my brothers more than superficially. I knew their hopes, fears, aspirations and plans for the future, and they knew mine.

And it was a comfortable relationship, free 6

of anxieties and reservations, because Vl 8 ~; able to let down the psychological andd 99 ~ barriers, knowing we were among frien shared our thinking. d~ Having lived in a dormitory before I plejef Pi Kappa Phi, I know that such an ex:per tt. is denied in residence halls, if for no 0 reason, because of the dormitories' size. to Thus, as I see it, fraternities are abl~ stit for the college or university what the 1!1 A tion is unable to accomplish for itself. f f' that is to create a homelike atmosphere 掳!1~: lowship and ser~nity and a sense of be10.9 f to a group in which mutual assistance 1 keystone. te: Let it be understood that I do not col1JI1s that fraternities provide the best possible 5c11, group experience, but they do provide slltJP experience. And I know of no other gro rt organization which is making any effO this important area of campus life.

A Training Ground

路fe

Now, as a training ground for futu~e 1~ t an evermore complex society, I belle" di~: fraternity provides an unparalleled Jllber The average fraternity offers its rneJl'l pJllf wide experience in the area of self-gove~tJII and self-management. Since each fr~ 9 of elects its own officers and conducts 1 t 9 ~t business and financial affairs, it is P~ce. for a student to gain invaluable exper1e JllP these fields, which can supplement and co ment his formal education. f!l: Indeed, experience gathered in fra~pt self-government fits into the general co?~e f student self-government, which I belle :' plains why fraternities provide so rna~Xsti1 dent body officers within the Nation's 1 tions of higher learning. . . 9ti And, of course, this type of partlC11dr ptretparesd sFtudents to take a part in .rnuf!l J9! s a e an ederal governmental affa1rs life.

EMBER,

But after the day's classes are over, and after the homework has been attended to - perhaps with some counseling from a brother - then is the time to relax and enjoy your fraternity. It is then that you can undertake charitable, civic, political athletic and social projects. It is then that yo~ can sit around the chapter room and "chew the fat" and be a good fellow among good fellows.

Now as to the responsibility of you young men h~re tonight - my fraternity brothers.

You must serve as models of excellence to your fellow students at whatev~r school you attend. This means you must attam- and urge your brothers to strive for - ~ ~easo~able level of scholarship. You must participate m student government. You must do your part in church, civic and charitable undertakings. And if you are so endowed, you must provide leadership in 'I ':I sports.

And last - but hardly least - you must at all times conduct yourselves as gentlemen, in the truest sense of the word. . . .

If you will follow these gmdehnes, you will gain 'the respect and admiration of your fraternity brothers, of your student body, and of your family.

But most of all, you will have respect for yourselves.

Editor's Note: The above was excerpted from a speech b Governor Moore at the closing banquet of the 1§65 Pi Kapp College at Davidson College in North Carolina last August.

was Chapter Advisor, District President, Executive Secretary and National President.

"When I was Executive Secretary I found it to be an excellent executive training ground.

There was the opportunity to write, to plan a national program, to set up, organize and operate an office, to plan and handle a national budget, to control expenditure of funds, to deal with abstract problems as well as concrete ones - in effect, to conceive, plan and execute a program on a national scale. "lt knocked a good bit of provincialism out of me. I learned how Americans everywhere thought and felt. I came to accept that a problem in Denver, Chicago, or Miami was one which could be solved today if I would but get on the phone or a plane and attend to it. Distance was placed in proper perspective about getting things done.

"This has stood me in excellent stead in my business. I found that it broadened by perspective immeasurably with the result that I have since been able to explore, with confidence horizons which I would not have explored had I not had the experience of being executive secretary."

Today Bernie and his family live in a small South Carolina town on a home place they call "Boys Acres.''

"Being born and reared in the small town of Timmonsville, S. C., I never lost the desire to live in a small town setting. In 1953, we went down to the little town of Pinewood, S. C. (population 600) , bought 13 acres, and built 'Boys Acres' in the middle of it.

"We have a stable and pasture with three ponies, tool sheds, storage rooms, and all the trappings of a small town home. Our chilrlren are Millie, 8, Dickie, 11, Tommie, 16, and Wallie, 18.

The Jones boys share their father's interest in baseball, and Millie, said Bernie, "is engrossed in being spoiled by the three boys."

Alpha Xi and Brooklyn They're Historic The Alpha Xi Chapter House in Brooklyn will forever be a part of American history.

The chapter house is one of a t h o u s a n d residences in the Brooklyn Heights section of New York City recently designated as a National District Landmark. All buildings in the historic district come under a preservation law, and exterior alterations of structures there or construction of new buildings must be approved by a special historic commission.

William Sturtz, an Alpha Xi brother, wrote of the national landmark designation for the Brooklyn Poly Chapter's publication, The Woodbird. Here is his report on 33 Sidney Place and other historic buildings and things: It was just a matter of time, but at last the federal government has passed a bill recognizing Alpha Xi at 33 Sidney Place as a National Landmark.

However, by means of political chicanery, the rest of the Brooklyn Heights area has also been included in the bill.

For the full story, however, we must go back to January 12, 1965. At that time, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, acting on the recommendation of the Advisory Board of National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments, declared the entire 50 block area defined as Brooklyn Heights a National Landmark. The reason for this is obvious to anyone who has taken the time to walk around the district and observe the characteristic arc hi teet u re.

Brooklyn Heights is like a section lifted out of the past. Virtually every building style of the past century is represented here. Many of the narrow treelined streets are composed of four or five story brownstone 10

houses. In fact, there are 650 pre-Civil War buildings in the area.

As might well be expected, the rents in this neighborhood are phenomenally high, and the word "exclusive" was coined just around the corner. Needless to say, the brothers are not slow in their appreciation of this fact.

Many a Brooklyn femme has been snowed with, "Oh, We have a little place down in the Heights."

Along with its distinctive architecture, the Heights also has its share of American History. The Battle of Brooklyn Heights was fought here and a commemorative postage stamp was issued in honor of this event. Another dubious distinction we have is that Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan's first surburb. In 1814, a ferry ran between lower New York and Brooklyn, and by the middle of the 19th century, the streets were named and mapped.

There are only seven other National District Landmarks in the country. Among them, in the northeast, are Beacon Hill in Boston and Elfreth's Alley in Philadelphia.

Some of the residents in the area are as strange as the names of some of the streets. Not much can be said about the inhabitants but a visitor to the "Pam-Pam" is made immediately aware of the "subtle differences" which do exist. As for the streets, they have names such as Joralemon and Schermerhorn, Grace Court Alley (once a stable area; now an overpriced artist-poet ghetto) and Love Lane (some times confused with 33 Sidney Place) .

OUR HOUSE The story of 33 Sidney Place is in itself an interesting narrative. Originally part of a coun-

try road, the property owned by Philip Li New York. Upon his estate, which was in poor was vested in the hands tees for payment of de few years later, ilton succeeded to the place of a deceased lot was purchased by a J oralemon in 1803. At the thoroughfare was Monroe Street. Since deed to the property ha5 foreclosed three times tr forged once.

Although the exact age of house is not known, we do that the house was 1858. Considering the the house was 69 years d foV it was bought and has ha t times the normal am~u~ ~ wear, one can apprec1a · job which faced the committee.

It is often said that brothers of Alpha Xi le~~ wards the church. This . 1 only attesting to our fa1tb also to the fact that the Je lists at about a 69 ° ang. ward the convent next do~; owe more than just than · physical support to these e of God; indeed they ~a;jeS to put up with our festlVl late hours of the night. to There is so much more t! about the house's histofJ such. I am sure that the~jd many anecdotes which co brought to my attentioll• consciously or not, each leaves behind a its history. Now that vation work has gone as funds will allow, thankS order to those alumni contributed to the fund. As long as men bre and interest of Fuchs, Hornung, and ni are around, the house Chapter) will not suffer.

Alpha Truly A Chapter Of Leaders The College of Charleston year began for Alpha with perhaps the most signal event in several years. We were honored and pleased to have Simon Fogarty's son, Simon, III, initiated into the chapter by Epsilon Chapter at Pi Kapp College in Davidson this summer.

We were also proud to bring back to the "Holy City" a large banner proclaiming Alpha as "National Champion Chapter." We are proud to share this honor with Alpha Upsilon at Drexel as we did in 1960.

Last Spring Brother Richard Sanders became the Fourth consecutive Pi Kappa Phi to be elected President of the Student Body. He succeeds Brothers Bill Regan (19621963), Henry Strobel (1963-1964), and Bill Gaud (19641965). We feel that this has been one of the greatest compliments paid to Pi Kappa Phi by students of the College of Left Charleston.

St to ri ht .afford g : John Almeida, Sam Brother David Goin has succeeded Brother Burwell Dunn n1chard 'Sliarry Freeman, Bill Duffie, as co-editor of the Comet, our yearbook. Brother Goin is Jackson anders, David Goin, Johnny a lso President of the Inter-Fraternity Council.

Carolina Alumnus Challenges Dr. Blake Dear Sir: St!rhave belatedly read my May issue of The sions & Lamp and was surprised at the concluley ,, lhached in the article "Turmoil at BerkeSt>i~a ave no doubt that the Communist conican cy I!J.akes every effort to undermine Ameralone s~ciet.Y! but I do not feel that this ~act '"ere dUshfies the conclusion that the rwts I h 0 1TIInunist inspired and dominated. invest~ve !ecently read the partial text of an A.nge)Igahon made by Jerome C. Bryant, a Los ~oardes attorney, at the request of the lllgs 0 of R;egents. It is apparent that the fmdlllacte ~ this report contradict the statements l<'irs Y Dr. Blake in several areas. last Ytly, although President Kerr "was just A.\vardefr awarded the Alexander Micklejohn certai11 or Academic Freedom ... ," there were :vete restrictions on the student body which I.e. th~ot compatible with academic freedom, Dus is restrictions on participation in off cam~es. Secondly, once the initial distur-

-v.s.

bances occurred, University authorities acted slowly and inconsistently and thereby increased the length and severity of the disturbances .

Finally the study concludes that Communist influen~es and non-student involvment played a noncrucial role in the disorders.

Dr. Blake has too readily concluded that Communist goals have materialized into Communist accomplishments. One must admit that the students had some justifiable grievances, and unfortunately, better leadership than the adrr:inistration. Although I do not believe that civil disobedience is justified to remedy grievances I do believe that these grievances, not Com~unist tactics, were the causes of the Berkeley disorders. Communists have not "sown the seeds of distrust between the students and their administrators,' but rather the administrators themselves.

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, Richard E. Schreiber Jr., Gamma 453 Chicago, III.

TAU CHAPTER WINS SIGMA CHI FOUNDATION AWARD

Tau Chapter at North Carolina State College has been awarded the Sigma Chi Foundation Graduation Goal Award Plaque.

The plaque is awarded annually to the fraternity on campus that had the least percentage of drop-outs during the past fouryear-period. The college administration determines the winner by comparing the list of pledges with the list of graduates of the fraternity four years later.

The award was established by the Sigma Chi Foundation in 1964.

Tau won the award on the basis of graduates in the 196465 academic year.

'A Sadness

• • •

Brother R. K. Smathers has contributed an interesting glimpse of the career of the late Thurlow Lieurance, Nu '20.

Noticing Brother Lieurance's obituary in the May issue of The Star & Lamp, Brother Smathers wrote to the editors: "Sadness prevails over Minnetonka . . . and in the hearts of all Pi Kapps who knew him. Thurlow Lieurance did much to make Pi Kappa Phi a national fraternity."

Mr. Lieurance was the composer of the familiar "By The Waters of Minnetonka" and numerous other songs and orchestral pieces.

A prolific composer, he began his musical education as a child and in college began studies of ancient cultures of the American Indian. For years he visited and lived with various Indian tribes and recorded many of their songs and tribal dances. Thus his musical works were chiefly in the idiom of the American Indian.
