A Dedtcatton THEY WERE THREE who were so diverse in the driving forces of personality but so unified in their friendship as to bring instant recognition that they were fully complementary, rather than closely similar. Three sturdy legs of a tripod on which rested in solid balance a common desire fulfilled their long, close, joyous and comforting years of friendship projected into permanency and extended to the horizons of the earth in the form of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.
Founder Fogarty devoted his entire life to the furtherance of the student, himself the student, and the young men following him. After his graduation from the College of Charleston in 1906 he continued to extend his personal knowledge by attendance at the University of Michigan, the University of Tennessee, and New York University.
THERE WAS FOUNDER ANDREW ALEXANDER KROEG, (1885-1922), he of dynamic energy of mind and body, in planning exact and in performance certain and assured. He was of the leader mold, magnetic and farseeing.
A visit to Brother Fogarty in his Charleston home could not help but impress one with his continued search for knowledge. Most prominent throughout his home was a vast library of numerous subjects . A conversation of any duration would always find him expressing some new knowledge he had but recently acquired.
THERE WAS FOUNDER L. HARRY MIXSON, (1887-1962), who brought to the triad a lifting combination of the jester and the realist. Fun and fellowship were a part of his being, but not to be ignored were his talents for persuasion, his demand for detail, his grasp of material values.
Professionally, Brother Fogarty also served constantly the youth of Charleston. He was a school principal in Charleston until 1948. At that time he became chief probation officer for the Eastern District of South Carolina serving in this capacity until his retirement in 1958.
THERE WAS FOUNDER SIMON FOGARTY, (1887-1966), he of the unextinguishable warmth of heart, of quick and gracious dignity, of the high mind and encompassing smile, inspiring in his intentness and clarity of purpose. The last surviving Founder of our beloved Fraternity, Brother Simon Fogarty, died on February 23, 1966 at the age of 79. Death was due to a heart failure.
Brother Fogarty never failed to serve his Fraternity, and is remembered well by those fortunate enough to have attended the sessions of Pi Kapp College commencing with the one in 1959. His deep interest in the Fraternity usually expressed itself in individual members, and individual chapters. Therefore those who have known him have not only lost a Founder of their Fraternity, but also a warm personal friend.
Pi Kappa Phi has mourned the death of each Founder. The passing of Simon Fogarty, the last survivor, was especially significant. Not only was he the remainder of our founding triumvirate, but he also exemplified the order of students he helped originate.
"Si was one of that memorable triumvirate who breathed life into a beautiful and wholesome thought that blossomed forth as a red rose and whose name they gave "Pi Kappa Phi". I am sure that at that time, although they had visions of expansion, did they little realize that within

IT'S CONVENTION TIME Bring Your Family Along
The success of the fraternity depends upon the active participation of undergraduate and alumni members of Pi ,., G'
Kappa Phi. And a Supreme Chapter is always more successful if the influence of both alumni and undergraduates is available. Why don't you make this your year to take care of your fraternity's business for the two years ahead. There are additional attractive reasons for attending this year's national convention. Convention headquarters this year is the fabulous Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, resort capital of the U. S. For the Pi Kappa Phi convention exceptionally attractive rates are available, beginning at $16 for a double room. The hotel and its facilities are lavish and extensive. There will be plenty to do and enjoy for your entire family. Following the last session of the convention there will be a weekend cruise to Nassau in the Bahamas aboard the SS Bahama Star. The rates for the cruise are equally attractive. And if you've never been to sea or to Nassau, the cruise will be a wonderful way to end your Phi Kappa Phi week. You will fully appreciate your fraternity by attending a meeting of Pi Kapps from throughout the country. Why not make your plans now to attend and participate in Pi Kappa Phi's 31st Supreme Chapter at Miami Beach. 5

IHFORWA ION OF INTEREST TO GRADUATE MEMBERS OF PI KAPPA PHI PRAT RHITY
Kappa Chapter's Moore Trophy Announcement of the establishment of the Dan K. Moore Leadership Trophy for outstanding leadership among the members of Kappa Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at the University of North Carolina was made at a recent m eeting of Kappa Council, Inc. an organization of Kappa alumni. The chapter was founded in 1914, and Governor Moore was a member
FRAT·E RNITIES EXCLUDED FROM FED,ERAL CONTROL GREEK Report, a publication of the Young Americans for Freedom, has reported that the adoption of the W aggonner Amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965 is considered by many fraternity people to be "the most significant fraternity victory in this century." The Waggonner Amendment to the congressional legislation prohibits federal control of membership practices or internal operations of fraternities and sororities at colleges and universities. The YAF publication traced the background of the passage of the amendment, crediting the Edgewater Conference with the initiation of action that resulted in passage of the amendment.
GOVERNOR MOORE of the fraternity class of '27. During his undergraduate years Governor Moore was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the national scholarship society, and was a prominent campus leader. The trophy was donated by an interested alumnus in honor of the North Carolina governor. The announcement was made by Council President Henry G. Harper, Kappa '17, who, prior t? his r~tire ment last year was a v1ce pres1dent of Goodyear Tire Company in Canada. He stated that the Dan K. Moore Leadership Trophy will be awarded annually to the member of the chapter who has shown outstanding leadership during the past year as selected by the members of the chapter and approved by the directors of Kappa Council. 8
A group of five men from the Conference, said GREEK Report, "met with Congressman Joe D. Waggonner of Louisiana and a member of Kappa Sigma who agreed to sponsor the amendment. With the assistance of Judge Smith, the Chairman of the Rules Committee, the amendment was presented to the House on August 26 and surprisingly met with the approval of Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, the powerful Chairman of the Education and Labor Committee and floor manager for the bill." "Following House adoption of the amendment and the bill, the Senate on September 2 adopted a somewhat similar amendment following a heated debate . . . The final version of the amendment reported out of a joint conference became law on November 8th." The pertinent section of the Waggonner Amendment, now law, reads as follows: "Sec. 804 (b) Nothing contained in THE

Following his election as National President in 1964, Brother Mel Metcalfe set himself the goal of visiting each undergraduate chapter. As of this issue of the Star and Lamp this achievement will have been successfully accomplished. Although Brother Metcalfe found it necessary to make great sacrifice personally, he was bolstered in his endeavor by the support and encouragement of his wife, Eleanor. Few fraternity leaders have ever established such an intimate relationship with their members. This effort by Brother Metcalfe will certainly benefit Pi Kappa Phi for years to come. If you have met Mel you will know that "it was all his pleasure".

Pi Kappa Phi To Reactivate During February of 1966 the administration and interfraternity council of Mercer University invited Pi Kappa Phi to reactivate its Alpha Alpha Chapter. Under the able leadership of Brother Bill Dicks, Traveling Counselor, a nucleous of undergraduates have been organized and are currently operating Alpha Alpha Colony. They have meeting rooms provided by the school, and furnishings donated by the alumni residing in Macon, Georgia. Their mailing address is : Box 867, Mercer University, Macon, Georgia. 11
Lets face it, say the professional soldiers who designed the U. S. Army Officers Candidate School program, it does seem unrealistic for a college graduate or a college senior to simply wait and be drafted. That's why new mobile teams of the Army have begun visiting college campuses across the nation. These teams - composed of officers and enlisted men of the U. S. Army Recruiting Command - are completely equipped with the latest information on the benefits of the reorganized OCS program. They have with them facts kits and informational films pointing out the practicability of enlisting under the OCS program. The teams intend to talk to anyone whether a college senior or a college graduate in the area of the university or college visited - who is interested in the advantages of this new program. One of the new features of the program is that now any qualified college graduate or college senior may earn an officer's commission without any previous ROTC required. There was a time when only the ROTC men could get into this program. The key to the OCS program is that the Army guarantees an applicant will be enrolled in Officers Candidate School providing he passes the requirements. Admittedly, they don't guarantee to graduate you as an officer, but then neither did your college or university guarantee you a diploma when you began the freshman year. If you've got it, says the Army, you'll be commissioned a second lieutenant when the training is completed. One of the best features of the program - according to the volume of information from the Army Officers Opportunity Program, Continental Army Command, Ft. Monroe, Va. - is that there is a chance of serving in many capacities after graduation. A graduate of Army OCS may serve in the Infantry, Artillery, Armor, Engineers, Signal, Ordnance, Quartermaster, Transportation, Military Police, Chemical, Intelligence, Finance or Medical Service Corps. The OCS entrance requirements are fairly simple, say the men who designed the new program. A candidate must be between the ages of 18¥.! and 27, a citizen of the United States, a graduate of or a senior in a college or university recognized by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and must pass a mental and physical examination. A candidate can expect long hours -mostly outdoors with little class12

"Hospital Harmony," Alpha Upsilon's 31st annual "Pi Kapp Show" was presented November 19-20 and proved to be one of the most successful in the long tradition of Drexel Pi Kapp Shows. Some 1,500 people turned out for the show, an original musical comedy satirizing hospital effiency and the Medicare Bill. The show was highlighted by our beautiful showgirls, hilarious lines, numerous songs and intricate dances. Traveling Counselor Frank Parrish was visiting us on Show Weekend. He was able to see the result of many months of hard work and joined us in the after-show party. Frank later gave us some constructive suggestions on how to make our chapter a better one. Most helpful were his comments on rush. The brothers enjoyed Frank's visit and hope he can stop by again soon. With the $600 the chapter earned on "Hospital Harmony" we are in the process of making improvements on the Zebra Room in our pine-panelled basement. Also, we will purchase 14

Kapp was on the top. Proof of our motto was in the parties. Pi Kapp a 'go-go, the Come-AsYou-Are Party, Bowling Party, Inside-Outside Party, and Pi Kapp at the Races Party highlighted our five week rush season. And we convinced 23 talented men with plenty of potential to pledge Pi Kappa Phi. After pledging, the parties continued. Mixers with Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Zeta, and Phi Sigma Sigma sororities, our Pajama Party and Roma Toga Party made everyone wish the winter term would never end. Spring term brought the pledge party, initiation, and the Spring Weekend. The pledge class worked hard to raise money for the party they gave for the brothers. Later in the term the brothers and new initiates and their dates will go up to the Poconos for a weekend of swimming, water skiing, dancing, partying, and loafing. Alas, the social life is but one part of a fraternity. School is of primary importance and the brothers, by keeping the house quiet during study hours and making maximum use of their time, continue to keep their average well above the all-men's average at Drexel. The chapter is also front runner in campus leadership and athletics. Brother Tom McGinley is doing a fine job as editor of the school newspaper.
The secretary of the senior class president of Circle. K Club, and othe; class representatives are all Pi Kapps. Brothers Casper, Nebiolo, and Ward are on the Drexel basketball team and we expect to have seven Pi Kapp~ out for football spring training soon. In interfraternity sports we are the proud possessors of the IFC Cup as the best fraternity in IF sports competition. Our basketball team, led by Rich Husted, Chuck Farrell, John Burke, Bob Hicks, and Jim Boomershine, came within seven points of upsetting the TKSs who are favored to win the basketball championship this season.
ALPHA, OLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Alpha Chapter initiated nine new brothers in February. They are: Herbert M. Collins of Georgetown, S. C.; Ronald Osborne of Florence, S. C.; and Patrick Bello, Andrew Daniel, Lawrence Hall, Curtis Haltiwanger, Michael Irwin, Glenn McConnell, and Benjie Mcinnes of the Charleston area. Alumnus Dr. Harry W. Freeman was present at the initiation. The Chapter also added a second semester pledge class of nine pledges. As usual, Alpha attained great heights in scholastic achievement last semester, having four brothers and two pledges make the Dean's List. The new officers for this semester are: Harry W. Freeman archon; Sam Stafford, secretary; James Wells, trea~urer; Paul Sandifer, historian; Steven Coker, chaplain; and John Almeida, warden. On February 23, Alpha Chapter was deeply saddened by a loss not only especially grievous to the Ch':p~er but to Pi Kapps everywhere-the death of the last hvmg Founder of Pi Kappa Phi, our brother and friend, Mr. Simon Fogarty, Jr. At the same time we exa~t in the priceless legacy of brotherhood, example, and Ideals he left us. May his work, his ideals, and his examples always be a guiding inspiration for the Fraternity. Mr. Fogarty's funeral was held on February 25 at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Charleston. There was a very impressive delegation from the Fraternity present for the service, with about 20 individual chapters personally represented, and with many alumni attending also. The family of Mr. Fogarty deeply appreciated the attendance of the brothers, and Alpha was proud to be host to some of the chapter representatives. BETA, PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE Beta Chapter is now ending its first ~ear of "Operation Progress." The year has gone quite successfully. There have been a few let-downs, but as a whole the year ended very promisingly. Th~ major obJective t~is year was to increase membership, and th1s we did. Twenty-three made their pledge to Pi ~appa Phi, which was above average for the Presbyterian campus and more than our proportionate share of the freshmen class. The pledges decided to equip the fraternity suite with a stereo center; so to make money, they put on a car wash and a concert. Both of these events went very well and the project was a success. Our pledge class this year is one of the best for Beta. Several factors have influenced the marked improvement in Beta Chapter. One is Pi Kapp College held at Davidson last summer. Much was learned there and passed on to the rest of the chapter. But a great deal of credit will have to go to our new advisor, Rev. Zeb Williams, who outdid himself during rush and along with his wife, Sylvia has added a new spirit to the scene. Even the administration has noticed Beta's progress and is expecting great things from us. As for the weekends here at Presbyterian, our Homecoming Party was held above the Police Department and was quite unique. The Christmas party had the theme of "Cowboy Christmas" and was held in an old ont>-room school hou~e. The Military Ball was followed by a "drop-in" in the fraternity suite in whi_ch a maze had to be passed through. It was a very tricky maze and that's probably why som.e !Jf the brothers a31d their dates got lost somewhere m 1t. Our annual Shipwreck Ball has not come about yt.'t but there is no doubt that it will hold true to form and be an unquestioned success. GAMMA. CALIFORNIA Last November the pledge class decided to allocate funds for the beginning of a chapter library at Gamma. Now the library has grown to include the Encyclopedia Britannica, a solid math and science section and a broad range of other books, ranging from political science to the complete works of Balzac. A series of study groups are to be conducted in the library, dealing with such topics as economics, politics, history, and Russian literature. Librarian Kenneth Quandt hopes later to bring 16

vamping of our scholastic and social programs going hand in hand with a renewed emphasis on rush The lOth District Conclave was held in Mar~h with Nu hosting Beta Delta (Drake) and Alpha Omicron (Iowa State). Guest speakers and discussion of common problems occupied the morning and afternoon The day's activities were highlighted by a banquet a d·ance and a serenade that evening. ' ' OMICRON The brothers at Omicron started off the new semester by initiating the following new members: Don Edmondson, Florence, Ala.; Lloyd Burt, Miami Fla · Bill Turner, Union Springs, Ala.; Bucky Etherto~ Gu'~ters ville, Ala.; Lynn Phillips, Mobile, Ala.; Bili Trussel Union Springs, Ala.; AI McLeod, Jackson Ala.· and Harold Goings, Birmingham, Ala. We aiso ha~e 15 pledges this semester and are already making plans for our fall pledge class. We were all very proud that Brother Leo Pou an Omicron alumnus from Mobile, has been named 'Mr. Pi Kappa Phi. The chapter would like to congratulate Brother Pou on the honor. Out: social calend.ar for the spring seme~ter will again be w1de. and varied. Brothers of Omicron enjoyed having dinner and coffee throughout the past semester with various sororities. Several parties were held during the spring semester, including our spring rush weekend in April and "Riverboat" weekend in May one of the most popular traditional parties on campu~. In sports, Omicron won third place in our league of 15 fl!aternities by beating the Lambda Chi's in the intramural playoffs. Our swimming team is expected to do quite well also, since we have already beaten last year's 17
champions. We're still looking forward to recetvmg our skins from the brothers at Nebraska and Auburn from last Fall's football games. Pi Kappa Phi's National Rose, Miss Pegi Harmon, who graduated in January will wed on April 23, 1966 in Meridian, Mississippi. Our heartiest congratulations and best wishes go to Pegi for her future happines>. RHO, WA HINGTON & LEE The Pi Kapps of Rho Chapter straggled back, one by one, but when classes resumed after Christmas vacation, we were all present and accounted for. Filled with parental motivation we faced the few weeks before exams with renewed determination and the premise that all men were created equal. The last month of pledgeship was faithful to tradition, however, and after exams 11 pledges were initiated into the ranks of the brotherhood. After a night of boisterous celebrating, the Phi Kapp's awoke with a rude shock. The campus grade averages were posted and it seemed that our fervent bid for academic excellence came too little and too late. No one found solace in the triteness of "nice guys finis h last." With the resulting academic probations, Rho lost more than her wheels. With visions of punji spikes dancing through their heads more than a few brothers took a quick evaluation of their academic attitude. The results were generally agreed to be somewhat less than spectacular. Realizing that somewhere in the course of human events Rho Chapter had missed its cue, the brothers sat down and seriously discussed possible solutions. This was the first step, and sometime during the deluge of after-dinn~r speakers which followed, SIC was born. The Scholastic Improvement Committee with Burt Carnahan as mentor set about to promote those goals which had somehow been overlooked the preceding semester. The "men from SIC" through personal talks with professors and brothers coupled with a grade chart have had a positive effect o~ the overall academic attitude of the house. Now the competition rages for the mythical title, "student of the week." The leisure time of the brotherhood has been cut down drastically this semester, but between sessions at the books we've managed to hold fourth place in intramural sports ranking. After a flash of glory on the gridiron last fall the lodge then proceeded to continually cop second place in the league. Bowling, basketball, and
ping-pong were all mild disappointments after ~ f; season buildup for the silver cup. Left on the a sP' agenda for the year are track and field, volleyba!l'cb•l· softball. The spring sports promise to present lenges worthy of the brotherhood. . rt From the social spectrum, Rho emanated a br1g~~ncf glow. The semester break was amply filled by 5 tb• Dress. As Ian and Sylvia entertained the camP11 of' Pi Kapps entertained their dates. With the help ll'al timely snowstorm and a thoughtful governor, wha:ulo~; meant to be a great weekend turned into a fa tht fun-filled week.

hanging pipes, heaps of ashes and choking coal dust is no more. Gone are the pipes from which many ar{ exuberant Pi Kapp used to swing. The old support columns which seemed always i.n the way are gone too. All these have been replaced With new plumbing a gas furnace and steel beams. All alumni and par~nts of the undergraduates are cordially invited to come to Ithaca on Parents' Weekend to see the improvements. James E. Emig of Vineland, N. J., was initiated in February and has already been elected assistant treasurer. Jim is a sophomore English major. The <;hapter is indebted to George ~einrich, our rushing <.'ha1rman, for a successful rush this term. We have pledged 18 men. They are already organizing a sorority pledge exchange and have cleaned the house thoroughly after a solid week of pledge raids. ALPHA ETA, SAMFORD Alpha Eta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi came back to school raring to go. After a great rush, we pledged 20 new men, the finest of the lot. After formal rush three men were added to the pledge class. ' To offset this growth of our pledge class we initiated Joel Whitley, Jimmy Owens, and Jerry Lee. We were fortunate enough to have Mel Metcalf as the speaker at our Founders' Day banquet, during which our new officers were announced. They are Jerry Matthews, archon; Bill Armistead, secretary; Wayne Cofield, treasurer; Milton Wilder, warden; Henry Yeackle historian; and Larry Bolton, chaplain. ' Kristin Schoening, a Chi Omega pledge, was named pledge class sweetheart. Alpha Eta has made its mark in the campus sporting world by placing well up in the standings in foot19
ball and volleyball. We also put up one of the most outstanding homecoming displays on campus. Howard College an old and respected liberal arts college has now be'come a full pledged university with a new n~me. With the addition of the Cumberland School of Law to Howard's Pharmacy School and other graduate programs instituted last year, Howar~ has actually been recognized a such, but forJ?al action was ta!<:en this Fall by the Alabama Baptist State ConventiOn. After Gov. George Wallace signed the new charter, Samford University was born. The name honored Frank Park Samford, a highly respected Alabama Bapti~t and . businessman. He is president of Liberty NatiOl}al Ltfe Ins1;1rance Co., a trustee of Auburn University, and chairman of the board of trustees at Samford University .. He did m~ch to get Samford its new campus, donatmg both time and money to the drive to ~P:~e the. school a gr~ater: opportunity to continue provtdmg htgher education m a Christian environment. . All this change only spurred Sa~ford's PI KaJ!PS to greater efforts as Alpha Eta contmued to astomsh people with its dash to the top. ~lpha ~ta p~edged 11 new men after the Christmas hohdays, SIX this semester It also initiated 11 men. Alpha Eta also ha~ g.a~hered a number of honor.s, both collectively and mdtVIdually. Our secret~,ry,. Btll Armstead of Thomasville, Alabama, wa~ elected. Frte,n4liest Man On Campus" in a campus-wi~e e~ectwn. Btll s other recent honors include me~bershtp m ODK; and election as president of Samford s "¥oung R!'lp~bhcans. Fr Alpha Eta, there was the thrill . of ~mmt;~g the annual Step-Sing contest for the third time m the four years we have been on campus. Last year we had slipped to second place. . . The "Kappas," Alpha Eta's o~ professiOnal s~ng ing group, performed for the last time at the. S~ep-Smg. Graduation is breaking up the ~roup, but It IS hoped that the "Kappas" can reorgamze, as they have been very popular on and off campus. . . Coming up soon is the presentatiOn of the Scholar~hip trophy, which we have an excellent chance of gettmg. Our pledge class had the best overall average on campus for the fall semester. . . . Alpha Eta, in conjunction with the IFC,. ~~s adop~ed a company of the Army's 1st Infantry DIVISion, which was recently adopted b:y Bir~ing~am. The Big Red One Division is now stationed m Vtet Nam. Along the same line, Alpha Eta adopted an orphan, and plans t,o provide funds for the child through voluntary contributions. We have made plans for a pledge-brother dinner, car wash donut sale rush party, and a number of pledge swap~ not to m~ntion our Rose Ball and house party. During Greek Week, Alpha Eta is responsi~le for pu~ ting on a hootenany. And so, ~lpha Eta c_ontmues mov n and grow'n. Pi Kapps all right? All right! ALPHA THETA, MICHIGAN STATE The past few months have been fill~d ~th ple~sant surprises for Alpha Theta. At the begmnmg of wmter term we all invested money and our great carpentry talents to panel our dining. room. Ever s}nce then. we have greatly enjoyed parties and soroz:tt,Y functions with a dining room that complements our hvmg room. In February the university sponsored a turtle race and behold Alpha Theta scored again! Brother Chuck Dodson of 'Detroit, Mich. bought ~ turtle and entered him in the name of Pi Kappa Pht. Under the exl!ert guidance of Brother Joe Herdus Jackson, Mich. (turtle trainer) our "Happy Arapp1 the wonder tortoise was brought to such a peak that he took first place with a blistering time of 27.6 seconds for the 12yard dash. . . f 'd When March blew in hke a hon or most rest ents of Michigan it blew in like seven puppies for us. Our mascot, "Da~nit," gave birth to seven rather ?gly puppies which are part German shepherd, part colhe, mostly boxer and part Heinz 57.

ALPHA XI, BROOKLYN POLY to'' These past few years have truly been years of atute perity for Alpha Xi Chapter at the Polytechnic !~Sen~~ of Brooklyn. The chapter as a whole has gained s r 5 cn~ in school government, has improved considerablY sno~· lastically, and has earned supremacy in sports. I~ tbe'r the brothers of Alpha Xi have learned to coordinh ecbPr actions and to function as a unit.

But this was not a case of all W~el' 1vo/, no play, as evidenced by the fact that the chaP ar an· the coveted Intra-Fraternity Sports Trophy last ye ·I is well on its way to winning it again. . tlY lB' Alpha Xi's rushing system was changed sltgh Jed~ semester, and it produced a noticeable effect on.gd !~ brother relationships. During the rushing peri d 'we. brothers scrutinized the rushees more closely, aAs 9 t11 more selective in signing them up as pledges. usU'~ suit, last semester's pledge class was smaller tp~ 9 s~1 (only 16 pledges), but they were all conscientiO o\V t, their obligations as pledges, and they got to ~~e cl~. 1 brothers well. Likewise, with such a small pi e dg'e jn P the brothers were able to get to know each P1e Jized 0, 8' vidually. The effect of the new system was .r~~·ated February 4, 1966 when 10 neophytes were 1n1 1 t brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. eJ11esl2J Our social season is underway for the spring stieS ~~,. and aside from the usual weekly sorority par ·ng i~i couples parties the brothers are especially loo~Jpb9]li' ward to two social highlights.

will hang in the chapter living room as long as Pi Kappa Phi exists. The brothers of Alpha Tau also mourned the passing of Simon Fogarty. His death was a great loss to the fraternity which he founded and led for over 60 years. Our new officers for the spring term are: archon Alan Nichols; treasurer, William Krepick; secretary' Robert Byrnes; historian, James Moloney; warden Ken~ neth Kincel; and chaplain, L. David Taylor. ' Led by rushing chairman Thomas Conlon, Alpha Tau pledged 14 freshmen including one hockey player, two football players, three members of the lacrosse team and a member of the track team. With only five grad~ uating seniors the house will be filled to the seams next fall. Pledge class officers are: president, Peter Cinelli· and treasurer, Robert Hult. ' Socially Alpha Tau was active in maintaining its reputation as the top social house on campus. Starting off the second sem~ster was an alumni cocktail party for the local alumm. The brotherhood was gratified by the success of the event and hopes to turn it into an annual event. Next for Pi Kappa Party came Russell Sage College's Rally Day and an _open house for the Sage girls, followed on the next mght by Rensselaer's Saturnalia winter weekend with parties on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. The four parties in succession were enough to last until the 17th annual Sadie Hawkins Day, followed closely by spring vacation. Coming up this spring are our Rose Ball and the Soiree. Scholastically Alpha Tau outdid itself as nine brothers made the Dean's List for the fall semester. Dave Taylor and Jim Russell were pledged to Pi Tau Sigma national mechanical engineering honorary in which ou~ Randy Thomas was elected corresponding secretary. Ken Kincel was recently initiated into the national aeronautical engineering honorary, Sigma Gamma Tau. Standing second in IFC sports Alpha Tau is justly proud of the house athletic teams. Both the bowling and handball teams took second in the league, while the basketball team went undefeated in league play before losing in the semifinals of the playoffs. With the volleyball team currently fighting for the league crown and strong teams coming up in baseball, track, and pingpong Alpha Tau could easily pick up a few points on the ieader and win the overall league crown. Geoff Sheridan won a letter in basketball as R.P.I. had its second winning basketball season in a row. Paul Tava in lacrosse, Dave Sundstrom and Bill Krepick in golf, and Ron Pasini in track are all returning lettermen who plan to lead the house into spring sports at R.P.I. Pi Kappa Phi at Rensselaer is justly proud our house. This fall the brothers were astonished to find that "the 21
castle" was included in the book Architecture Worth Saving-Rensselaer County, New Yo1·k by Bernd Foerster. Pi Kappa Phi was the only fraternity among the 150 buildings represented in the book. Recently remodeled, the house is now scheduled to be sandblasted this summer. Originally built in 1889, the Paine Mansion is one of the most impressive buildings in Troy. ALPHA PHI, liT Alpha Phi is enjoying a continued reign of success on the liT campus. House scholarship has amazingly improved over last semester's second place, to put the Pi Kapps at the top of the fraternity roster. Nearly half the active chapter is on the Dean's List. A tiring and trying eight-hour initiation netted the house 19 new brothers and nearly doubled the size of the undergraduate chapter. The initiates were bustled to the Ashland Wagon that evening to celebrate their new brotherhood and none shall forget that evening. We are in the midst of remodeling the basement. The brothers are putting on an all out effort to have the work completed before summer rush. A few highlights of the plan include a chapter room, recessed trophy cabinets and lighting, a bar, recreation room, and wood paneled walls. The forthcoming social events are the spring alumni meeting and beer blast, the Rose Ball, and Greek Week. The brothers can hardly wait for the fun to begin and the chance to let loose from scholastic pressures. ALPHA PSI, INDIANA On February 23rd, Alpha Psi welcomed into its midst three newly initiated brothers: Bill Christophel of Ellettsville, Indiana, and Joe Patton and Dick Bender, both of Bloomington, Indiana. Alpha Psi is also happy to have Frank Parrish, Alpha Omicron who is doing graduate at I. U. Brother Parrish besides serving as a national office representative, is d~ing his part for Al~ha Psi a!! scholastic c!tairman and financial advisor. Hts suggestions and adVIce have already proved to be a big help. The "Little 500" bug has struck Alpha Psi and the members of the bike team are spending many hours on two wheelers in anticipation of qualification day. The "Little 500," patterned after the "big" one at Indianapolis, is an event looked forward to each year. The 200lap contest is raced by a team of four, each taking turns riding laps on one bicycle. Each team represents either a dormitory or fraternity and each has a co-ed sponsor. Trying out for the Alpha Psi team are John Lemen of Osgood, Indiana; Jim McCollough of Indianapolis, Indiana; Glen Crosier of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Don Briscoe and Mike Nordberg of Bloomington, Indiana. The weekend of March 11-12 was a particularly important one for us as we hosted the District VIII conclave. Subjects discussed at the meeting included ways of improving internal administration and more effective rush techniques. The group also discussed ways in which the conclave itself could be made more useful and effective. Our rush program this semester is beginning to jell. Already the pledge class numbers nine with new prospects being met every day. Under the leadership of Rush Chairman Don Briscoe the growth and future of this chapter looks very promising indeed. The brothers and pledges of Alpha Psi have worked well as a team in redecorating the chapter house. This year the card room, the library, the dining room, the basement, the back stairwell, and almost every room on the second floor were painted. The Mother's Club also helped by providing new curtains for the dining room. Besides a new chapter house Alpha Psi has now acquired a mascot--a female part German Shepherd named Lagnaf. Plans are being made to display her as mascot in inter-Greek functions. The men of Alpha Psi hope that with the constant support of their alumni this year can be one of our best. BETA ALPHA, NCE Beta Alpha started off 1966 with our usual New Year's Eve Party, which included a buffet, a band, drinks and a lot of noise. Following this, the pledges 22
threw a party for the brothers with an equal nuJIIbll of exhuberant party-goers. tbt During the semester break we threw a party fo~j!JII· orphans at St. Peter's Orphanage in Newark. ~ t}it "The Adventures of Cheeko", was the highlight 0~odl• evening, although not too far above the ice cream, jgbl cake and cookies which were served.

low ranking of 54 at the National Office, and a dwindling brotherhood. It would have been easy for the brotherhood to turn their faces when presented with these facts. But in the true spirit of "Nothing shall ever separate us," we banded together, forming a closer brotherhood, and faced the faculty, student body and ourselves. Assistant Dean of Men Joe Martineau helped fill our empty house by selecting 25 independents to reside there. Rush Chairman Skip DeArcy planned and executed a very successful rush party. Eleven men were pledged, twice the number of the semester before and the second largest class on campus. Then with the football season coming up, the brotherhood launched the traditional "foo-bird" and rallied around the grandstands. Spirit was high and so was the brotherhood. The Dean of Men, already noticing the changing atmosphere 23

way down here in the swamps of Louisiana we are feeling the growing fame of the greatest fraternity in the world: Pi Kappa Phi! BETA OMICRON, NORTHWESTERN STATE The Interfraternity Council of Northwestern State helped to coordinate the Red Cross drive for the town of Natchitoches. Members and pledges from each fraternity went from house to house and business to business soliciting funds. Over $2,000 was collected. Brother Shelton Eubanks, first vice president of the IFC and administrator for the IFC effort, received a letter of commendation from the president of the Natchitoches Red Cross drive. Next on the agenda for Beta Omicron are the Heart Fund drive, our district conclave at Beta Mu Chapter at McNeese State, open rush, more intramurals, and the Pi Kapp weekend. Beta Omicron did manage to win one basketball game. Maybe we'll have better luck in softball with Brother Eubanks, better known as the big "Eu." Mickey Moncreif represented Pi Kapp in the post season All Star Basketball Game. Last fall in the annual Charity Bowl football game Pi Kapp defeated Kappa Sigma 6-0. The game was played in full pads and much rain. The coaches were P.E . majors, nnd manv of the players had had past experience in high school football. Weldon Walker, our chapter advisor and purchasing agent for NSC, recently accepted a higher position at Louisiana Polytechnic Institute. We were sorry to see him go but we welcome his successor, Pat S. Todd, who works at the Texaco Petroleum Station in Natchitoches. Our new faculty advisor is LeRoi Eversull, associate professor of social sciences at NSC. Hollis Thompson was recently elected to represent the Pi Kapp Dormitory for the spring semester. Shelton Eubanks was re-elected first vice president of IFC. Charles Thompson was elected vice president of the Commercial Art Club. BETA UPSILON, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Beta Upsilon Chapter continues to grow on the gr.ounds of the University of Virginia. Two initiates at the beginning of the second seme· ter brought the number of members in the chapter to 50 (and the average at Virginia is 35). The new initiates are James Clifford of Alexandria, Va. and Roy Vaughan of Bedford, Va. Second semester rush should increase our present first-year class to 27 men. Bother Ronald McKinney of Gretna, Va. was promoted to executive officer in the Navy ROTC unit. Brother John Wililams of Tulsa, Okla. was initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honorary. Brother John Earls of Cincinnati, Ohio was promoted to associate

sports editor of the Cavalie1· Daily, joining Brother L. A. Tacy of Charlottesville, Va.1 who had been promoted on the newspaper staff earlier. In the area of sports the chapter is beginning to m3;ke its presence felt. There were four members of the varsity swimming team from our chapter: Gregory Roberts, John Earls, James Clifford, and Joel Dobbins of South Wales, N. Y., who was one of this season's co-captains. Brother Roberts of Morestown, N. J. was elected cocaptain of next season's team. He holds the university record for the breaststroke. Pledge James Plumb of Bellefonte, Pa. won the first year division of the Butch Slaughter Golf Tournament. Brother John Williams is a member of the tennis team. Winter intramurals have seen a great improvement for Beta Upsilon. The bowling team ran up a 7-0 season in its league and will be one of the favorites when the playoffs get underway. The team includes Brother J. H. Long from Westport, Conn., and pledges Gary Stout of Danville, Pa. and James Plumb. The basketball team has improved from last year. Beta Upsilon was ranked 23rd in intramural sports after the fall season but will climb in the rankings after our strong winter' showing. The outlook for the spring is very bright because of improved spirit among the brothers and some athletically inclined pledges. Scholastics were not overlooked by Beta Upsilon during the first semester. Although fraternity averages have not been released it's certain Beta Upsilon will remain among the top 10 fraternities. Frank Billingsley of Fredericksburg, Va. completed the semester with a perfect 4.0 average. Robert Francis of Fairfax, Va. and P. G. Lang of Charlottesville, Va. finished with 3.8 averages. Socially Beta Upsilon began swinging again in Feb: ruary during Midwinters Weekend. Many of the alumm returned for the festivities. Coming up is the Rose Ball. Brothers Thomas Guidoboni of East Brunswick, N. J. and William Couper of Tenafly, N.J. have been named to represent the University of Virgoinifl at the Bicentennial Annivesary Conference of Eth1cs at Rutgers University. · The new officers for the second semester are F.

BETA OMEGA, EAST TENNESSEE STATE Beta Omega Chapter is beginning to flourish and grow in many ways. The size of our active chapter is larger now than ever before and we hope it will continue to grow. Unlike the' past, we now have younger men in the fraternity who act as a foundation to build a larger chapter on. Our pledge class is not as large as usual, but for the first time the pledges really seem interested in . the fraternity. This can be proven by the number of actives they have taken out on trips, and by all of the furniture which they have forcefully removed from the house. At least they care enough to steal. We are presently working for the ~irst place trophy in All Sing. We hope the results w1ll be as good as last year when we won. first place for small &Toups. Elections were held m March and the off1cers are: archon, Byron Brown from Alexandria, Va.; treasurer, Gene Smith from New York; secretary, Fred Anderson from Vinton, Va.; historian, Rob Wood from Johnson City, Tenn.; warden, Russ Palmer from New York; and pledgemaster, Sam Witt fro~'!~ Kingsport, Tenn. . The brothers are enthusiastic about a new event bemg placed on the university calendar by Beta Omega for next fall. It's the Annual Computer Ball. If successful this event should boost our status on campus. In the past few months,_ the brothers of Bet~ Omega have realized that a relatively new chapter, hke ours, must use the old "trial and error" method of lea_rning. By following this method we are constantly trymg to find a better way to govern the chapter, to improve it and make it grow. GAMMA BETA, OLD DOMINION Winter and spring rush resulted in 20 men pledging Gamma Beta Chapter. Seven have now been initiated and the remainder are waiting for their final grades from the college. The quality of the pledge class was more than evident in its contribution to the scholarship and athletic achievements of the chapter. By the end of the pledge period, the pledges had completed several mon_ey m~k~ng projects and had r~vi:red traditional fratermty sp1r1t on the campus by h01stmg a Pi Kappa Phi flag to the top of the FM radio tower on the Mall. Other fraternities soon followed our lead, and although the Dean of Students was not as enthusiastic as we were, fraternity spirit was raised. The recent pledge class was Gamma Beta's first experience with pledging first semester freshmen. Prior to this time, administration policy had prevented all fraternities from pledging any first semester man. With the advent of open rush, however, many new students were pledged. Controversy raged among brothers about the pros and cons of this action. Many thought that it was unwise, and the issue is still not settled. We welcome any comments other chapters may have concerning their experiences in this area. On March 12, we presented one of the largest dances ever given by a fraternity at Old Dominion College. With the attraction of a local band, and "Go-Go" girls from Washington, D. C., the affair was titled "DiscoMania" and proved to be quite successful socially as well as financially. With affairs such as this, we have become firmly established as a top national fraternity on campus, after only a year and a half. Alumni activity in the Tidewater area has increased, and the hope of having an alumni chapter by the end of August may be realized. Since. Gamma Beta is a metropolitan chapter, and lacks the t1es of a separate campus, alumni support is needed more than at other schools. Any alumnus who is willing to help us, as othe~·s. helped him, is urged to contact the chapter by wr1tmg to us in care of the college. The relatively few alumni of Gamma Beta Chapter have, in the two years since our founding, done quite well. Gene Nichols, one of the original members, is now in Dominica (British West Indies) doing graduate work in biology under a program administered by the Smithsonian Institution. Gene is currently a graduate student at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, 28

If You're an Alumnus, read on ... RusH
is a highly competitive function on college campuses today. If an incoming freshman has not been personally contacted by a fraternity prior to his arrival at college, that fraternity often does not stand a chance of pledging him. Consequently, our undergraduate chapter member work hard at planning and executing rush programs, in many cases holding get-acquainted events for prospective rushees during the summer. Alumni often look upon this fraternity function as solely an undergraduate one. This is not so. Rush is the obligation of all Pi Kapps-graduate and undergraduate. For all Pi Kapps must be interested in insuring the future of the fraternity by working to continue the influx of qualified pledges to Pi Kappa Phi's undergraduate chapters. Pi Kappa Phi alumni can help a great deal in rush. Look around you: among your friends, fel-
low employees, neighbors, church and sociates. Do they. have sons, relatives or planning to enter colleges where there Kappa Phi chapters? When you Jearn of a prospective pledge, contact him. Tell him about ternity. ell him on Pi Kappa Phi. The National Office is always alumni rush. Send the names and your prospective Pi Kapps to the Na fice now on the card below. Ask the Office for tips on how you might men in your community for Pi Kappa chures, films, and other aids are If you know of other Pi Kappa your area, get together with them for ing program. Perhaps your group can steak cookout, a luncheon downtown, ning program-to ten young men college about Pi Kappa Phi Fra Remember, your fraternity needs ing young men to keep it strong.
