ARE FRATERNITIES BY 1970 nearly half the population of the United States will be under age 25. In the last two years alone almost six million young people celebrated their 21st birthday, and next year the United States will add over two million people to its population-the equivalent of the combined populations of North Dakota, Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, and Alaska. While politicians are carefully studying these statistics to determine their impact upon future voting patterns, national fraternity leaders seem to be ignoring their implications for the future of the Greek system.

If nothing else, it means that there will be a rapid influx of students onto our campuses resulting in a further diluting of the percentage of Greeks among student bodies-that is, unless the national fraternities begin to plan for this student population explosion.

To even the most casual observer of campus affairs it is obvious that on most campuses there has been a marked decrease in the percentage of students who are members of Greekletter fraternities. This fact is reflected in the decreasing influence of fraternity members in student government agencies at a time when leftist student leaders have advocated placing the Greek system under the control of student government. More importantly, as the campus has grown and Greek membership fallen, fraternity members have tended to become increasingly isolated from the campus community, devoting their time principally to "inter-fraternity" activity. It is certainly true that most fraternities continue to turn out en masse for football rallies and most sororities field their loveliest sophomore for Homecoming Queen, but they are simply playing the role-a role which should have changed long ago in order to keep up with the contemporary campus.

Some undergraduates are proud that they constitute an "integral part of the university."

Unfortunately they are deluding themselves, for they are presently a mere part of the institutionalized control mechanism which makes life easier for the dean. The fact is that they are completely out of touch w'ith that part of

GARY BROWN: A VERY BRAVE MARINE

MARINE Capt. Gary E. Brown, Beta '60, recently was twice decorated with the Silver Star Medal for his heroism under fire in Viet N am.

Gary, who is now stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, with the Marine's First Infantry Training Regiment, won the Navy's third highest combat decoration for personal valor in two separate actions in the Viet Nam war early last year. He received the Silver Star Medal and a gold star symbolizing the second decoration in ceremonies at Camp Lejeune last summer.

He won his first medal while serving as a platoon commander with Company E, Second Battalion, Fourth Marines, on February 9, 1966.

He was a first lieutenant at the time.

According to his citation from the commanding general of Marines in Viet N am, "During the afternoon of 9 February 1967, Company E was subjected to and pinned down by 'intense automatic weapons and small arms fire from guerrillas in a fortified village. Having laid down a base of fire, First Lieutenant Brown's platoon was ordered to assault the village.

"While exposed to heavy fire ... Brown boldly led his men in the assault, shouting words of encouragement and directing the fire of his men.

The aggressive assault killed ten Viet Cong.

Demonstrating exceptional thoroughness, he remained in the village ferreting out the hidden guerrillas.

"Later in the day, his platoon was assigned as rear covering force as the company crossed a river returning to friendly lines. While crossing the river, the company was suddenly subjected to heavy fire. With utter disregard for his own safety, Brown moved from position to position directing the suppressive fire of his unit with such efficacy that the company was able to cross the river without a single casualty. By his superior professional skill, courage and composure under fire and selfless dedication to duty, First Lieutenant Brown upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."

The citation accompanying his second Silver Star award, won while serving with the same 4

platoon, stated, "On 21 March 1966, durinJ ~~: eration Texas ... Brown's platoon was t~he nated as the assault unit against one o unmost heavily fortified hostile villages enco Ja· tered in Viet Nam to that date. When the P of toon had approached to within fifty meters vY the objective, the enemy unleashed a hellral volume of fire on the Marines, wounding ::;eve in the initial burst of fire. d "Reacting instantly ... Brown wisely rnoddY his platoon to the relative safety of a rice pa }le dike. Fearlessly braving the incoming. fir~, hiS moved from position to position to d1rec too!l men's fire on the enemy. As another pia JI'S was moving into position adjacent to Bro~oJI unit, both its platoon commander and pla Jed· sergeant were seriously wounded and di.s~btive Displaying exceptional leadership and imt1 oJIS ... Brown effectively controlled both P!d ~i!llt in the midst of the hostile fire, cons~h. a 5 their hastily established defensive positiOn · d "Quickly assessing the situation, he realiZt~­ the necessity for air and artillery supportt ail gether with the urgency of ensuring th~Tjth casualties were clear of the strike area. he complete disregard for his own safety,. es courageously moved forward of friendlY 11 ~ed several times to carry wounded men to protechot areas. During one daring move, he wa~ 5 Jld twice in the arm. Although in intense pam ~Jit weakened from loss of blood, First Lieut~ the Brown heroically remained in command 0 be two platoons until supporting arms could ttle effectively utilized and the tide of the ba · thereby shifted in the Marines' favor. asua.1 . "Only after ensuring that all o.ther. c was ties were cared for and that the situatiOn be well under control did he allow himself to his evacuated for treatment of his wounds. BYdire exceptional courage, presence of mind in a dutY emergency and unfaltering dedication to d to throughout, First Lieutenant Brown serve e!lt inspire all who were involved in the engagen\ed and upheld the highest traditions of the Vnl States Naval Service."

WILLIAM JONES SINGS FOR THE PRESIDENT

AT one time it could be said that Americans were not a musical people. That could hardly be said of us now, and no one would deny today that this country has contributed a great deal to music for more than a generation. This is partly due to the development of intelligent musical interest in our secondary schools and the consequent spread of instruction at a high level in our universities over the past fifty years.

Other nations absorb our artists today almost at the rate we were once taking theirs.

Baritone William Jones, Chi '48, vocal soloist and concert moderator with the Marine Band, i one whose voice and American training have taken him to far climes in a display of our own cultural contributions. He has sung in some 26 different countries on four continents before audiences numbering as high as 80,000 people.

Magnificent press notices followed his performances, perhaps summarized in the words of the music critic for the Stuttgart, Germany, "Zeitung" who said of him: "It was for the beautiful baritone of William Jones that the many thousands of listeners remained in their seats to the last tone. Here is a voice of the first order."

A highly personable gentleman, Bill Jones has rubbed elbows with such notables as the Queen of England, the members of the Netherlands Royal Family, the Danish Prince Royal, the Lord Mayor of Chester, the Burgess of Weisbaden, and many others. He likes to recall those wonderful occasions which have highlighted his career, such as the audience of 80,000 in Naples; the herring tasting ceremonies in Holland ; and dinner at the home of the Libyan magistrate where everyone ate from a bowl placed in the center of the floor, without benefit of utensils.

As a child Jones showed great promise, billed as the "boy with a voice in a million" and appearing on the "Telephone Hour" as well as

The national office was not designed, nor has its main purpose ever been, to return directly to its supporters a benefit in keeping with the financial contributions they have made to the fraternity.

The office is not a strictly commercial entity.

It was designed to serve primarily as a nerve

center, coordinating the many tedious details and problems that continuously confront the fraternity.

Even close study of the national office would no more reveal the real benefits of our fraternity than inspection of a college administration building would indicate the real value of a liberal education or alumni. For the executive office is just one of the factors that contribute materially to the educational values of fraternity life.

A member's dues obligation is paid not to the executive office, but to the fraternity. Yet, there has been an unfortunate tendency to identify the office as something more than a mechanism that carries out the will of the fraternity.

Undoubtedly, some brothers still feel that a national organization is not essential in deriving fraternity benefits. These men restrict financial support to their own chapters, if at all.

Even, without their aid, however, Pi Kappa Theta has continued to prosper during seventysix years of existence. And in that time, the fraternity has sheltered several chapters which, without exception, have experienced difficult, as well as good times.

For service to others is germane to the fraternity spirit; more so than any other objective we know.

It is our hope that Phi Kappa Theta men will embrace the principle of unselfish service and carry it forward as far as personal limitations will allow .

There are those who never begin; who, perhaps through no fault of their own, lack the raw material in their natures. These men are easily recognizable. In or outside the fraternity, their relationships are always characterized by the same question: "What's in it for me?"

To these brothers-the minority who just don't know altruism-there is really only one honest answer: nothing.

JOHN RIPPON: A TEACHER OF MEDICINE Dr. John W. Rippon, Beta Iota '51, is a distinguished teacher of medicine at the University of Chicago. The article below, written by Ray Bruner, science editor of the Toledo Blade, and published in that newspaper last Octobe'r, provides a look at the interesting career of Dr. Rippon. The article was written during a visit by D'r.

Rippon to Toledo, Ohio.-Editor.

IN 1950, Dr. John W. Rippon,

then 17 and living on a farm near Sylvania, disturbed his mother by bringing home assortments of snakes, worms, insects, and related wild life.

In his basement laboratory he experimented with chemicals that might eradicate potato beetles, malaria mosquitoes, and other pests.

His persistent c u r i o s i t y brought him the distinction of being one of 40 high school seniors in the U. S. to win a top award in the annual Westinghouse science talent search.

Yesterday Dr. Rippon, now assistant professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, was back in Toledo with more than 75 beautifully colored film slides that were every bit as disturbing as any of the reptilia or crustacea that upset the equilibrium of his home life.

2-Day Meeting He showed the slides during a lecture on fungus diseases at the conclusion of the two-day meeting of approximately 400 medical technologists from Ohio and Michigan at the Commodore Perry Hotel, to help them in identifying the great variety of fungi that cause illness and death among human patients.

Those he described were only a small percentage of the 100,000 12

different species that thrive around the world on living and dead animal and plant material, which, for anyone interested, are described in Latin in a 35-volume set of books by a German author.

The slides, which Dr. Rippon projected on a wall at the Commodore Perry, were magnifications of microscopic views of the hair growth of fungus mycelia, spores, and other components of these destructive organisms, stained in beautiful variations and designs in blues.

Dr. Rippon showed a fascinating view of spores from the spinal cord of a Chicago psychiatrist.

Taken From Tissue The spores-in brown concentric circles against a dark background-had been taken from the psychiatrist's tissue after the fungus had caused acute mental illness and death.

Against a light green background was an elongated oval of dark green. It was the spore of another fungus-the cryptococcus. Dr. Rippon said if one of these is found in the organ of a patient "it is time to notify the undertaker."

He described some of the more widespread fungus diseases in the U. S. One is occ'idiosis, which has infected an estimated 10 million ; blastomycosis in the Appalachia area and Histoplasmosis which has infected an estimated 30 million in the Midwest.

Fortunately only a small percentage are active cases. In some instances they do not cause serious illness until a patient has become thoroughly debilitated by another illness.

He also told how some of the newer drugs actually promote

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS ALPHA--CHARLESTON ACTIVITIES at the College of Charleston have slowed Pa \~rnewhat to prepare for the outburst of spring go r Ies, projects, and sports. Exams have come and ch ne and last semester found one-third of the active unapter on the Dean's List. The initiation of nine li ~ergraduates and one alumnus has been the high!\~ t of this quarter. Undergraduates initiated are p/rnond Baumil, Rob Berkaw, Eddie Davis, Noel and!!;, Steve Hairfield, Dan Kennedy, Marvin Murray, Of S obby Sadler, all of Charleston, and Steve Kroll Partanburg.

G't,e also had the pleasure of initiating Mr. John \v~ eland as an alumnus member. Mr. Leland, who to 8 formerly director of development and assistant Ch the President of the College, is associated with The fti a1·leston Ev ening Post. Jack has been a close personal \v end ~f the fraternity over the years and his initiation as qUite a privilege for us.

1\ 'I'h~ tennis team has started practice with Brothers 0 ~~~e Osborne, John Almeida, and Leonard Kight Le e team. Brothers Steve Coker, Ronnie Osborne, Ji e Sigmon, Rob Berkaw, Noel Fuller, and Pledge t1.~ Cameron make up the majority of the College ar c~.team. Brothers Pat Bello and Wayne Bauknight hi\ Igh men on the Bowling Team, with Pat second g rnan in the conference. hi Out· annual "Roman Orgy," a costume party of the infhest order, was in March with the house transforf!led and a Roman villa complete with gardens, fountams, p Pools. th· lans are set for the Rose Ball formal which will fo~s Year be held at the South Carolina Hall. We look Ward to seeing a number of alumni at this event.

GAMMA--CALIFORNIA Gf.M:.M:A was privileged at its annual alumni dinner sl>e 0 Welcome Brother Durward Owen as its guest '1\,tker. At this time Durward presented Brother C. J. tne~J with a special award in recognition of the tre\VelJ ous contributions C. J. has made to Gamma as Ga~n as to the entire fraternity over the p~st years. alu~nIna was especially happy to see C.

And our softball and swimming teams promise 8ch 0j th~ best ever. Not to be overlooked is the overall 1' asttc improvement of the fraternit;r. has 0h help insure that this progress contmues, Gamf!la t·on as added the names of nine new brothers to Its Wi)8 : AI Lombardo Rich Swift, Larry Sage, Randy Ste shn, Gary Cochra'n, Tom Sliter, Bill Moyers, Stephen IVeJf enson, and Mike Elcan. These new brothers as Ofil as the old will be led by Gamma's newly elected Sec~~l'S-Archon, Neal Evans; Treasurer, Ken Quan~t; tot·i etary, Greg Lunt; Warden, Ron Korthkamp; HisGan, Rich Swift; and Chaplain, Larry .Sag.e. the a~nrna's pledge class has also been contributmg to nett fraternity's progress. They plan to use the fu;nds tnen~d from their pledge class project for the establishof a building fund.

Week. Rush got under way at Davidson the first week of second semester, and ended with the chapter netting 11 fine pledges when it was all over. These boys have as their goal the Best Pledge Class Trophy which was won by last year's pledge class. Although fraternity averages have not yet been released officially, the pledge class has one of the top ones here, while the brotherhood upped their ranking from third to second on campus.

School elections are to be held soon with several Pi Kapps entering the races for positions in the student government. With Rush becoming more and more competitive! we are striving to assume more positions of leadership, as well as to push our scholastic 1·ating all the way to the top.

A large number of brothers plan to travel to Sterling Colorado, for the wedding of Archon Paul Curlee t~ Miss Pam Blandin of Colorado State University in August. Also recently engaged were Dennis Dobson to Miss Jeannie Simms of Queens College, Norman Cole to Miss Patricia Bagg also of Queens, and Sterling Southern to Miss Lynda West of Pfeiffer College.

ZETA--WOFFORD ZETA has continued to shine in the intramural sports department. The chapter received another first place trophy in intramural football during first semester of the academic year 1966-1967, having remained undefeated in eight games. This semester, Zeta is well on its way toward winning in intramural ping-pong.

Indeed, the prospects are bright for coming out on top in the overall intramural program.

In February, Zeta received 11 boys into the brotherhood and pledged another. Besides adding new brothers the chapter is now adding a game room to the house: Socially, the chapter has had a party each month since September. Zeta is eagerly anticipating its annual Rose Ball, this year during the weekend of May 13-14 at Ocean Drive Beach, South Carolina.

Wofford College was indeed privileged to have Durward Owen, execu.tive secretary of Pi Kappa Phi, speak to all the fratermty men at the college during "Greek Week." His subject was "Fraternity Man and His Responsibility to His Community."

Z':ta has. l?ll:rticipated in many public relations and service activities recently. For the Christmas project the chapter donated approximately $80 to the Spar~ tanburg Welfare Department. Every seven weeks in cooperation with the other six fraternities on campus Brothers Tom Leahy, Dickie Hunsucker, and Jack Kap~ lin keep score for the mentally retarded children of Spartanburg when they go bowling every week. During the Spartanburg Heart Fund Drive, Zeta gave a $40 contribution.

For the past four years, Zeta has won the annual Fraternity Sing held at Converse College in Spartanburg. With the graduation of Brother Tom Bratton, Brother Ray McLees is expected to assume leadership of the Pi Kapp chorus. Zeta wants to make this the fifth straight winning year.

As can be seen, Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is truly a chapter of action, participating in the activities and dedicated to the ideals that make an outstand chapter and an outstanding fraternity. Zeta Chapter is doing its part in keeping Pi Kappa Phi a dynamic, growing fraternity.

FOR two days in February Xi became a chapter of Pi Kappa Playboy.

The Xi men hosted a Playboy Magazine PlaymateMiss Dianne Chandler- for a round of special appearances, dinners, rush functions, and autograph signing sessions on the Roanoke College campus.

Miss Chandler, who was Playboy's September 1966 Playmate, was in Salem, Virginia, to plug a men's store which sells Playboy-endorsed campus fashions and as the guest of Pi Kappa Phi's Xi Chapter.

Xi Chapter reports: "Things came off real well while she was here. We had the president and the dean of the college over to the Pi Kapp house for lunch with her.

She was at the house for our Rush Smoker, and she also drew the winning number for a lifetime subscription to Playboy."

A Roanoke Tim es correspondent filed the following report on Miss Chandler's visit to Roanoke College and Pi Kappa Phi: "A record attendance - mostly wide-eyed male turned out for a Roanoke College student assembly . . . at which the full-time attraction was a part-time bunny named Dianne Chandler.

"As part of a promotion for Pi Kappa Phi's rushing season, Miss Chandler awarded a life-time subscription

during the assembly to 18-year-old Robert Stoneb ~ New York. Stone, whose name was pulled from a 0 ' accepted the subscription speechlessly. . of "The former Playmate, a coed at the Univers 1tYthe Illinois, also got an enthusiastic nomination t? an college's May Court at the student gathering-1flt of action that was not part of the program. The res or her bit consisted of permitting questions from the toy's -and these mostly concerned Hugh Hefner, PlaY 0 philosopher and founder. . isS "Her hosts, the boys of Pi Kappa Phi, sa1d 1\1 al Chandler, 'acted like all college boys act-very for~ t~ very quiet at first, and not knowing exactly wha expect.'

Jl· "~orne reportedly had shyly presented th~ ~~st rev1ewed September issue for an autograph-with ~ in the outer edge of Miss Chandler in the altogethefra· view. Ed Bennett of Roanoke, president of the sh· ternity, urged the autograph seekers 'not to be .ba it ful. Just unfold it on out and she'll be glad to s1gn all the way down.' boY "Miss Chandler said she was approached by a PlaY a . photographer about posing as a Playmate for the rnc~­ azine while she was modeling in her home town, Chi· cago, and serving as a lunch-hour bunny at the cago Playboy Club.''

NU-NEBRASKA

Thirty-two outstanding men have just begun the

HIS year, Nu Chapter is experiencing a surge of growth and vitality in membership, scholastics, and improvements to the chapter house. Taken together Nu Chapter is almost a different entity than it was last year.

The first step began with a near disaster when a fire gutted the basement, seriously damaged the dining room and kitchen and causing smoke damage throughout the rest of the house. Nu's advisor, Oscar Koch, took complete charge of the situation and had workmen repairing the house before most of the brothers even knew about the fire. Several weeks before Formal Rush, the major work was finished, and the remainder was completed in frantic haste to make it presentable. The brothers continued the effort by redecorating many of their own study rooms. This did not create an unfavorable impression with rushees.

For after Formal and Open Rush, we had pledged 17 aggressive, future Pi Kapps.

Just to keep things moving, five new brothers were initiated in October. They are: Charles Balsiger, Watertown, South Dakota; Byford Hoffmann, Wilber.

Nebraska; Kerry Hookstra, Ansley, Nebraska; David Nixon, Crawford, Nebraska; and Dennis Tente, Pawtuckett, Rhode Island. This brought Nu's active chapter membership to its highest peak in several years.

There are now 18 active brothers.

The change in spirit can be noted in the victorious intramural teams that have been fielded this year and competition in other campus activities. Archon James Guretzky gave a very good showing in a bid for IFC treasurer. On a somewhat more social level, Kerry Hookstra, after interviews, was chosen as a finalist for L'il Abner at Nu's annual Sadie Hawkins dance.

Scholastically, new study rules and policies have been put into effect, apparently with good results.

None of the actives appear to be in any danger of fa iling to make their grades, while only several of the pledges seem to be in any trouble-practically a complete reverse of several years ago.

Socially the rest of the year has not been a failure either, the Homecoming and Founder's Day Banquet was a high point in alumni relations and the Homesteader's hou se party was a stompin' success. The second semester promises even better with Spring and Ivy Days to show off Pi Kapp skills to the rest of the Greek world.

The big challenge of the semester was decorating for "the Red Baron Bash" to aid in rush during the state basketball tournaments. The house was converted into the squadron headquarters of a World War I air strip. Snoopy and the Baron were more than adequately displayed throughout the house. Nu's annual rose formal was held April 28 at the Knolls Country Club in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Dan Sexton, a sophomore from Notre Dame, played

f~arterback behind the Hanratty-O'Brien duo on the

/Ish frosh squad, and he's finding a great deal of ~rnpany in his pledge brothers who are playing freshp·ar football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. The total c!Ic Ure is that of a well-rounded and spirited pledge bass, whom the brothers can legitimately say are the est at Duke. cu One of the more spirited actions of the group ocb rked on a recent Saturday afternoon when a big P!s ~~ball game was scheduled for full "tube team" tr \hcipation.

OMICRON-ALABAMA S usual, Omicron Chapter has had a very good A year on campus. We began the year right by pledging 33 of the best boys in fall rush and then selected 18 more to wear the white diamond this spring. As in the past, our pledge class is the finest on campus.

Last semester, a very unusual thing occurred. Omicron actually surpassed the all-men's scholastic average for the first time in anybody's memory. Two of our pledges were initiated into Phi Eta Sigma Scholastic Honorary and one brother is to be initiated into Phi Beta Kappa this semester.

Socially, Omicron is still hanging in there on Sorority Row. Isabelle Clarke, Alpha Gamma Delta, was crowned 1967 Star at our annual winter formal in December, where brothers, pledges and their dates were entertained by the Dynamics. It was a grand ol' time, at least everybody but the Dean said so.

17

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS Spring semester brings a few added attractions to Omicron and promises to be one of the best ever. Our annual "Riverboat" in May will feature the "Drifters" and plans have already been made for our Spring rush parties in April.

In sports, Omicron is currently second in contention for the All-Sports Trophy in intramurals, and if we win the softball championship, we will finish in first place. Omicron's "Fearless Five" finished second in basketball, falling to Kappa Sigma in the finals.

David "Lurch" Evens and Sambo Weeks led in scoring all season.

Omicron also maintained its position as the campus political leader with six of seven candidates for campus office, including Sec.-Treas. of S.G.A., a senator, 3 representatives, and vice-president of Arts and Sciences.

In conclusion, anybody want to place bets early for this fall's football season?

TAU-N. C. STATE this semester yielded Tau Chapter five pledges.

RUSH They are Sonny Childers, Charlotte, N. C.; Len

Hall, Durham, N. C.; Dennis Croom, Garner, N. C.; Doug Crotinger, Annandale, Va.; and Rich Humphrey, Greensboro, N. C.. Toward the end of March we were to have mid-semester pledge class as we did last semester. We are able to do this because rush is a continuous thing for us. About once every week or two, we invite boys we are interested in "Pledging over to supper so that we can get to know them better. This also helps our formal rush week because we already know some of the boys we will be rushing.

We initiated nine boys from our fall semester pledge class. They are Bob Carlson, Fort Lee, Va.; Charles Edwards, West Jefferson, N. C.; Robert Lauridsen, Marion, Va.; Doug Longhini, Wyoming, N. Y.; Pat McGuire, West Jefferson, N. C.; Chris Myers, Charlotte, N. C.; Ed Small, Concord, N. C.; Tom Underwood, Charlotte, N. C.; and Barclay Winn, Norfolk, Va. Tau Chapter acquired a new housemother this Spring semester. She is Mrs. Iva West from Winston-Salem, N. C. She was formerly the housemother for another fraternity on campus. We are very happy to have Mrs. West with us.

A couple of major improvements in the house were made this Spring. Curtains were bought and installed in the entrance way, chapter room, and bar. They added greatly to the appearance of these rooms. Also, we bought a new ice machine. It has a larger capacity than our former one.

In the sports picture, Tau's bowling team will compete in the finals next week to obtain either first or second place in that division. Softball and tennis will be coming up soon. We hope to succeed in both these sports since most of last year's players will be returning stronger than ever.

The big event of the year, Rose Ball, will soon be here. This year, it will be held at the Ocean Plaza Hotel, Myrtle Beach, S. C. It is the ideal weekend of the Spring for us and everyone is certainly looking forward to it.

ALPHA ZETA-OREGON STATE HE big news at Alpha Zeta is the showing the chapT ter made scholastically this past term. As an ex-

periment, scholarship was made an individual responsibility with no enforced study hours. The results were startling, as the house's position among 33 fraternities on campus improved from eighteenth to eighth in a single term. This quarter we are aiming for the top but would probably be content with a little less than that.

In January five men became new brothers: Fred Birch, also known as WA 7BXU /7, is a freshman electrical engineer from Coos Bay. Don Harris, a fresh18

man in mathematics from Forest Grove, now servr,1 house as steward. The oldster of the group, Dick ated a senior in geology from Portland, has been .e1e~hat house manager and is doing a very able job m e position. Doug Rosecrans is a sophomore from Co~a!I. Grove and is taking mechanical engineering. Bob P brink is a business major who hails from Salem. d tWO One more man has pledged this term. He an ore men pledged last fall will move into the house bef a Spring quarter starts, bringing the pledge class ~~c~ total of six. Two brothers are expected to move hiS in also, but the house will still be only half full. Tntis the major problem facing the chapter at the prese house Two things have happened recently to bo~st sed morale considerably. The alumni are showing mcr~ause interest in the chapter, especially in regard to o~en improvements and formal rush. Also, Durward ·!It· stopped by for a visit and spent a whole day &"ene\ne ing ideas, several of which we have applied with f results. Many thanks, Durward!

Jl The hardest working Pi Kapp is Steve West~~sh who is serving both as chaplain and as formal 1 ell chairman. In the latter capacity, he has set up a "'1ts organized program which should bring good resu}In next fall. So far, high school seniors have visited ~~~h~ Zeta on two weekends, becoming acquainted wit )so house and the Oregon State Campus. Steve has !!the secured the cooperation of alumni in key areas of state. .b Treasurer Steve Goldsmith has also done a fine l~t of balancing the house's books, a difficult assi g~rne·e· when so few men are living in. Currently, he JS 1 organizing the chapter's financial system. .

ALPHA ETA-SAMFORD has been a year of desire and frustration ~~ T HIS the brothers of Alpha Eta. The only thing it see t 05

we can do is either come in second place or lose .. 1\1 vi· of the losing has come in intramural games as IS e1_g denced by our 3-4 record in volleyball and our !l's record in basketball. It seems this is not Alpha E\he year in sports. However, despite our losing year, der· spirit of the brothers and pledges is not to be un rated. It is still number one on campus. ·w Although we have not been very fortunate in int~e murals this year, we have been able to pick up 50tbe other awards and honors. These include: having. ieS highest scholastic average among the other fraternJ~Jlg' on campus for the 1965-1966 academic year; hll;~~r­ one of our brothers as first runner-up in the t, 5 Friendship" contest recently held on campus; and )anbut certainly not least, winning first place in the tis nual Step Sing contest in the fraternity division. ;}liS makes the fourth year in five that we have won )11" competition since we were rechartered here at S118,r. ford.

.ALPHA Mu has started off the new year on many c . Promising notes. Scholastically Brother Healy reetved a fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh ~~aduate school in political science. Brother Long will !! so be at Pitt as a dental student next year. Archon nUsch has been accepted at Virginia Theological Semiary and will be going there in the fall. c Brother Wood has been working as head of the e~ltural committee. He has provided u::; with two speakats: one from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board VJd the other from Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. h 00 dy has also arranged for members of the brothertJ~ud .to announce events of the house and. speak. on e history of Pi Kappa Phi on a local radio statiOn. Our intramural athletic program has progressed al11azingly in the past year. At one time 51st on camPus, we are now battling for 1st place. Currently we bre fighting for both the IM bowling and IM basketba]J championships as we are now in the playoffs for thth. Three members of the brotherhood started on e Penn State soccer team last fall, and another four are t~·ying out for the Penn State baseball team. p.Th1s year has seen the initiation of eleven new •1 Kapps and the beginning of pledging for another 11 tne men. · As usual Alpha Mu has had a good selection of enl}:l'able social events from our homecoming float and ~edge formal to sev'era l combines, mixers, and theme Carties. Our new social chairman Geor!?;e "Fus~y" Udhea has been working overtime to provide us With fhod times. The highlight of the year, however, was e burning of the house mortgage. S~veral of the 01 der alumni and District President D1ck Anderson IV;t·e in attendance for that--one of the most memOl·a le events ever to take place at our chapter. t• The house has also been striving to increase relabto~s within the university comr;JUnity._ ~~vera! memtp1S have devoted time to service activities and the Co C.

include a Pajama Party, Hell's Angels, Roman Toga, and Canoe Pa1·ties. A pledge-brother basketball game is planned for the near future. However, with two six and one-half foot pledges, the brotherhood could be in trouble. The District I & II Conclave as well as Kano, Drexel's annual Interfraternity singing competition, and the Greek Games also fall in the Spring Term. Finally a Boat Party has been organized by Alpha Upsilon with two other fraternities, as well as five sororities, to promote Inter-Greek relations .

Study hours are rigidly enforced from seven to midnight on week days in the house. As a result our scholastic average is significantly higher than the overall men's average, while last year's pledge class won the IF Cup for pledge scholarship.

The Pi Kapps are, as usual, in the running for the coveted Interfraternity Athletic Cup. With seconds in football and bowling, a good chance for first in basketball, and strong ping pong and softball teams, we should finish the season well up in the standings.

Mike Varzally, Rich Husted, Tom Schneider, John Burke, and Bill Reese lead the "Blue and White" basketball team in IF competition.

Campus activities also share the interest of many of the brothers. The editor, for the second time, of the T1·iangle is Tom McGinley. Dennis Kolodziejski, Mike Sellers, and Irv Campbell hold class offices, while Len Fuchs is a Student Senator. Chuck Farrel and Irv were co-coaches of the freshman football team, and Chuck, who is president of the Marketing Society and Varsity Club, was recently named to Who's Who. Freshman Counselors Rich Blithe and Jack Casper as well as Bob Hicks and Brother Gennaro, campus area redeveloper, display an active interest in student affairs.

Varsity sports are another pride of our house, with over 50 per cent of the brotherhood participating in JV or Varsity sports. Co-captain of the wrestling team Denny Wilcox and Larry Egolf, along with basketball letterman Jack Linderman, participated in the Winter Sports at DIT. Spring brings out more athletically minded brothers in lacrosse, baseball, tennis, golf, and crew. In the Fall, the Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi led the sports field in soccer and football, with nine brothers on the football team.

Two recent initiates in honorary fraternities are Tom McGinley in the Blue Key and Tom Simms in Tau Beta Pi. Of the twelve fraternities on Drexel's campus, five are recognized as Master Chapters by their national organization s. Alpha Upsilon is proud to be one of them.

newest addition to the ranks of Alpha Phi TisHEa Saint Bernard puppy named Oga. Born in July

of last year, Oga has added quite a bit to her original measurements of 10 pounds and 12 inches, which is ouite evident when trying to walk her or when she decides to drink at the drinking fountain.

Kappi Phi, local fraternity at the University of Illinois' Chicago Circle Campus, is awaiting a school decision on the status of national fraternities on that campus. Interest has been shown by Kappa Phi to become a colony of Pi Kappa Phi. The school currently will recognize a local fraternitv, but the requirement of open membership set down by the school more or le s~ bars any national fraternity. The men of Kappa Phi have shown much interest since their recent organization. and brothers from Alpha Phi have assisted and advised them when asked to do so. Mutual social a.nd sports events have been held with Kappa Phi, and thev have been given use of our newly-remodeled basement for rush functions.

Alpha Phi was honored by the presence of Kim Jepson, National President, at the annual Founder's Day banquet. Brother Jepson emphasized the increased rate at which the national organization is expanding and mentioned the new colonies which were recently 19

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS instituted. John Phillips, coordinator of alumni relations in the Chicago area, was introduced to the chapter.

Brother Phillips, with cooperation of the area alumni and our chapter, hopes to organize all alumni in Chicago into an alumni chapter.

Behind the brilliant playing of Clark Casseres, Alpha Phi added another first-place trophy to the case-for Interfraternity ping-pong. Brother Casseres, being champion of his country (Curacao), displayed this style all year. As one of the 10 new initiates from last semester, he also won the scholarship award by achieving a 4.0 scholastic average.

ALPHA PSI-INDIANA LPHA Psi is moving to Rhode Island, at least for Athe Spring Break. One of the pledge brothers, Tom Buckley, has invited the chapter to his home; and many are taking him up on the invitation.

Perhaps we will get a chance to see Bob Briganti who is home in Brooklyn for the rest of the semester due to illness. The trip will be a well earned rest from our many activities both on campus and in the house.

There are now 37 men in the chapter; 22 of them are new this semester. With these new men, the house would have ranked fourth in scholastics last semester.

The I. U. Sing is always a big event here on campus, and Barry Polley with his group won first place this year. As a result, we have drafted him to lead the house choir. It has paid off already. We serenaded Alpha Xi Delta at a rush party, and they gave us a party in return.

Study conditions have improved in the house because several of the members took it upon themselves to lay a carpet in the upstairs hall. They did this after the regular work session. Other brothers have used their own initiative in fixing up the house by cleaning out the store rooms and work room, which has been in need of repair ever since we moved into the house.

Our rush efforts have brought in one of the members of Indiana's freshman swimming team. Jay Platt helped I. U. receive a third place at the Big Ten Freshman meet at the University of Michigan. Another new member, Dale Huffman, is a disc jockey at one of the Quad radio stations.

Alpha Psi finally has a housemother. Gracie Morrison, former cook and housemother here, has resumed her duties as housemother. She does not live in but does chaperone our parties.

Many Pi Kapps from Indiana attended the District Conclave held at the University of Illinois. Everyone had a good time. We had the privile~e of meeting Tom Deen and also of hearing John DaVls. The house has been putting a lot of work into our upcoming Rose Ball; we are looking forward to the biggest formal we have ever had.

BETA ALPHA-NEWARK AVING made it to the heights of Master ChamH pion Chapter, one might think that an air of apathy might permeate the halls of Beta Alpha. But our award has brought our brotherhood closer together and we push much harder for the things we want. Every semester it seems our GPA is lower, and this has been a big problem at Beta Alpha. For the fall semester, however, we found ourselves, miraculously perhaps, second house on campus grade-wise.

In spite of our fear that the new Student Center and its facilities would seriously hurt our rush, Fall Rush was very successful and Spring Rush shows almost as much promise. We initiated three men in the beginning of March, and seven men from our Fall class have just finished their pledge period.

Our chapter publication, The Particles, just changed from the previous mimeographed form to a much better looking photo offset form which through the help of an alumnus ended up costing less than the mimeograph.

ut Every Spring, the brothers of Beta Alpha go 0ep· in search of a summer house. This Spring is no excenJ' tion. Prospects look good for finding a housb neve Seaside Heights or Point Pleasant. We don't e er· in wandering off our separate ways every sut1'1~05 e Even our alumni go out to find a summer house c . hOIV to ours so we don't lose contact.

Speaking of losing contact, did you ever not1ce were difficult it is to keep track of the alumni? We e're glad to find out in the last Star and Lamp that weem not the only chapter with this problem. In fact w.e \ing to be a lot better off than some. We are instltu ·ess a few new ideas which we feel will help out our addterS· file situation and may be of some use to other cha[~rds The first is sending out stamped, addressed pos c he!' to all our alumni asking what they're doing and wht~e!'S· they know the whereabouts of any of our lost bro tel' The second is to keep our address file on compt~ees cards so a print out can be made for any comn:ll ited that need them. This is made possible by the unllrndent availability of NCE's two computers to the std5 Jt body and will eliminate lost and mixed up car 1'·int is also no problem to have the mighty machine P ber out the names and addresses by Beta Alpha nurn or alphabetically as we need them.

0me Every now and then our brothers unite for 5eird common cause, and this semester we've picked a we of one. It occurred to one of our brothers that n?n ail us had ever seen a radio controlled dirigible. WithoJve kinds of assorted engineers running around to 0 if the problem, we decided we'd better make one .. , hiP you wake up one morning to see a nine foot au sing hovering over your chapter house, you're not be invaded by little green men, it's Beta Alpha.

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS BETA DELTA--DRAKE OULD you believe 14 undergraduate brothers and Wfour pledges? Not bad for a chapter that started the year with only seven members and $3,300 in debt!

While we make no fantastic financial claims, our success is exemplified by the very fact that we are still on campus and participating fully in social, athletic, and campus events. Our most valuable assets are the three trophies which were presented to us for scholastic achievement. This is in keeping with our promise of the "new direction": additional emphasis will be placed on scholastics with the aim of integrating the fraternity with the member's total learning experience.

The chapter's scholastic achievement was attained despite the added responsibility of rebuilding the fraternity and carrying on all other necessary functions.

Our 2.61 grade point average, which was well above all-men's average (2.40), was the third highest in Drake's 15 years of compiling fraternity grades and by far the highest this year. While our pledge class average was only 2.55, due to freshman English, it was sufficient to win the Pledge Trophy. With the absence of suspended members who had dragged the house average down, we were also able to win the Improvement Trophy. This is one trophy which we don't plan to win again as we intend to remain number one on Drake's campus.

The chapter was happy and proud to hear from all of our alumni brothers who wrote in with ideas for the fraternity and sent material for the Bedeltian.

Our hopes are being realized for making Pi Kappa Phi the best fraternity at Drake and for establishing an alumni program that you will find interesting. This is being accomplished by a joint effort between the undergraduates and you, the older brothers of Beta Delta. We hope that everyone will maintain an active interest in the goals set forth in the chapter's "new direction" pledge.

Pi Kappa Phi is proud to welcome into its ranks the seven new brothers who have completed and passed their probationary period as pledges. These are the men along with 25,000 others upon whom falls the responsibility of carrying on the high ideals of Pi Kappa Phi and the gains and hopes of Beta Delta chapter here at Drake.

Here are a few points which we feel have made our chapter strong. They were new to us this year and they have proved successful. First, pledges are not hazed. Not one push-up, nor anything which is morally degrading--from pulling a quacking toy duck to classes to other degradations on the Qerious side- are tolerated. Second, during our weekly work session to keep the house clean, there are no distinctions made between pledges and brothers. And third, we hold a weekly pledge-active meeting which covers all but esoteric house business. This created a strong unity which allowed us to face the obstacles and difficulties of this past term, though its advantages may only be obvious when the pledges comprise a large percentage of the house.

forced and scholastic standings have already been mentioned. Plans for the semester include a weekend retreat to discuss chapter business, a rush party in the next couple of weeks, a dance and beer bust at one of our recently initiated alumni's house, and hayrides. The chapter is not as large as it would like to be, and for this reason money-raising projects, such as selling license plates with N .S.C. on them, are being undertaken to enable the chapter to have larger, better and more rush parties. ' Television cameras will b~ on the N.S.C. campus May 3, 4, 5, and 6 to televise the AAU gymnastics meet. This is a big honor for the college, and Pi Kappa Phi at Northwestern plans on hitting the screen a couple of times with the flag and members.

BETA UPSILON-VIRGINIA OR Beta Upsilon it has been a routine year. OutF standing eft'orts by our brothers, both individually

and collectively, have enabled us to maintain the standards of excellence that have set us apart on the U. Va. Grounds. Spring 1966 saw the house engaged in a variety of worthwhile activities. Socially, Easter and Military weekends and our annual Pi Kapp Rose Ball provided brothers with welcome breaks from more rigorous academic pursuits. Military Weekend was unique in that it inaugurated a new Beta Upsilon party tradi~ion: the fall-out shelter bl~st,. Our faculty tea was qmte successful as well, furmshmg ambitious brothers the opportunity to exchange tips of the flask for desired course grades. The result was a sixth place scholastic ranking among University of Virginia fraternities, with Beta Upsi lon surpassing both the AllMen's as well as the All-Fraternity averages.

Beta Upsilon's Spring interests were not however entirely selfish. Again our chapter was rep;esented i~ the IFC's annual carnival for Children's Rehabilitation Center. Beta Upsilon became the only house at the University to enter the Foster Parents Plan, as the brotherhood adopted a young girl living in an or~hanage in Brazil. Beta Upsilon also saw Brother Chip Lacy elected to the Student Council.

The summer months saw significant transformations in the physical plant. The building's less-than-adequate bathroom faci lities were completely revamped and expanded to meet the needs of a growing resident brotherhood. Improvements carried over into the Fall as brothers and pledges returned to convert a former first floor storage room into a long-needed bar complet.e with brass rail and mural. New beds, lamp's, and chan·s were added to the bedrooms to further increase the house's comfort, convenience, and appearance.

The fall semester began with the initiation of 20 new brothers, hailing from a ll parts of the East Coast.

Social events proceeded in rapid succession. Homecomings and Openings were among the football weekends highlighted by concerts and combo parties at the house.

The Homecomings Hell 's Angels Party will long be remembered by Beta Upsilon. Christmas parties provided t he opportunity for both socializing and community welfare. Beta Upsilon's own Santa Claus was on hand to greet and distribute gifts to some 25 underprivileged Charlottesville children on an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon.

In intramural football the brothers' valiant efforts to establish themselves as jocks-supreme on the Grounds brought a second place finish among all fraternities after a first p lace showing in the league. The Pi Kapp racquet men also gained the fina ls in doubles compet ition. The volleyball season a lso ended with Beta Upsilon placing in the upper third of the league.

Rush again went exceedingly well. Eighteen firstyear men returned bids to Beta Upsilon after a tremendous effort by the brotherhood. Beta Upsilon now has a well-rounded pledge class whose interests range from football, swi.mming·, and rowing to architecture, politics, and music.

PI KAPP ON CAMPUS BETA CHI--EAST TEXAS STATE WELL, it's about that time again, and Beta Chi . Chap~er of Pi Kappa Phi is doing quite well. Beta Ch1 has JUst completed the formal rush functions and h!ls acquir~d a pledge class of 12, three of whom were p1cked up m open rush. This brings to a total of 18 our pledges for the Spring Semester. The new pledges have shown the brotherhood great potential in their extracurricular activities.

Concerning our house, the brotherhood has begun a r.ef!lodeling proje~t ~hich includes buying complete new hvmg_ room f?rmshm_gs. The furniture is of SpanishAmencan des1gn, wh1ch also blends in perfectlv with our bar. The brotherhood is very pleased with our fraternity sign , which is a replica of the one at the National Offi!!e· One of the new plPtlges, Mike Spray, drew and pamted the crest by hand.

As the month of February ended, intramural roundballers hit the hardwood floors, including all Pi Kapps.

Pi Kappa Phi anticipated a good season as they have enjoyed in the past, but some of our strength has graduated. Also, in volleyball Pi Kapp placed third in a play-off with Kappa Alpha.

As all the Pi Kapp chapters know, the social event of the season is approaching, which is, of course, the Rose Ball. The brotherhood and pledges have shown great enthusiasm toward this event. The idea of tuxedos and formals has really created a great deal of anticipation among all the people concerned. Our Rose Ball has become known to the whole school as the most beautiful ~ocial event of the year.

Adhering to the social calendar, Beta Chi recently held a Pi Kapp A' Go-Go dance at Greenville Country Club. Music was furni :;:hed by the Shantells, the number two party band in Dallas. Two of the players, Ronnie Key and Jerry Wells, are Kapp pledges. As usual our beloved housemother. Mrs. Virgil Warren, wa~ present. She highlighted the evenin~ by doing a mean frul!' with the fraternity sponsor, Dr. Fred Klaus. Also the brothers and pledges enjoyed a "River Party" or: one of the local tributaries around Commerce during March.

E~st Texas State l!niver~ity has begun a great exp~n~JOn pr?gram wh1!!h. W1ll cost an estimated $12 m!lhon. It mcludes bmldmg another $1 million dormitory_ for women and a 12-story high-rise dorm. New Busmess and School Administration buildings are to be con~tr?cted along with a remodeling program for old bmldmgs. At the present time the school has approxi~ately 8,000 students and by 1975 E. T. plans on boastmg an enrollment of 15,000 undergraduates.

Newly initiated members are Larry Davis Buddy Hand, L_ewis Boyle, and Mike Venable. Newly elected officers mclude Olen Pyles, archon; Ronnie Carrell treasurer; Sid Christian, secretary; Kenneth Pearce' warden; Tommy Dixon, historian; and Roland Schriewer, chaplain.

As the Spring Semester progresses, Pi Kapps will he looking forward to such events as the Kappa Delta "Sing Song," the Delt "Relays." Kaopa Alpha "Golf Tournament," and the Greek Week Festival.

BETA PSI--TENNESSEE WESLEYAN STANDING room only was the word as Beta Psi presented the 1967 Pi Kappa Phi All-Sing at Tennessee Wesleyan College, February 21. Entering on a competitive basis for the first time, Beta Psi won First Place in the Large Men's Group, singing arrangements from "South Pacific." Brothers Don King Charles Sweat, Bob St. Clair, and Stan Jones walked away with the Men's Small Group trophy crooning "Cherish" and "When I Fall in Love."

chartered chapter as soon as possible. We are working on an "all-out" program to have our charter by the Spring of 1968. Our plans, of course, include a fraternity house to be completed one year from our charter date. We are also deeply involved in setting up an active rush program. At this time our Pi Kappa Phi colony proudly boasts a 2.2-point average on L.S.U.'s 3-point system. This is certainly one of the highest fraternity averages on campus.

We at L.S.U. are very eager to become an outstanding chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and look forward to a promising future .

LAMBDA-GEORGIA OR the first time in a number of years, the prospects for construction of a new chapter house for Lambda is fast becoming a reality. Brother Bob Knox Lambda '35, is forming and directing Lambda Hous~ ing Corporation for the sale of stocks and/or bonds.

Elected to the board of officers of the Corporation were Brothers Herb Maffet, '32, Wick Knox, '32, Bill King '32, Jim Wilson, '47, Phil Tappy, '63, and, of course: Brother Bob Knox.

Construction plans for the new house have been completed and are on display at the present house.

The architect's estimate of construction costs is between 215,000 and 230,000 dollars.

Lambda owes thanks to Bill Dicks, Traveling Counselor, for his part in putting Lambda chapter on a committee system. This has helped us delegate responsibility more easily and has resulted in a smoother working organization.

We were pleased to have, at the end of Winter Quarter, the second largest pledge class in the nation of Pi Kappa Phi. We contribute this not only to an enthusiastic Rush Week, but also to a continued effort throughout the quarter on the part of both the brothers and new pledges.

Brother Bill Hasty, of Georgetown, Georgia, was recently selected for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Bill is our past Archon, and has held numerous campus positions.

OMICRON-ALABAMA PRING semester started off with a series of rush parties and various other social functions. Our rush for the Spring was successful in that we pledged 18 extremely capable men.

We had a successful s~ason in intramural sports, getting in the playoffs m basketball and baseball.

Brother Greene won the ping pong championship for the house. Our swimming and golf teams bit the dust early and merely faded away. We had rather forget about these two sports.

In April, we had our 50th anniversary celebration and were honored to have four members of our national office present along with 150 other guests. We were pleased and again honored with the presence of 4 of our 5 living charter members. They had many stories to tell us about how things used to be in 1917.

The entire afternoon was a complete success.

As this semester draws to an end, finals are just around the corner, but "Riverboat" is too. May 5-7 Riverboat will be held and everyon~ can let off steam before settling down to study. Th1s year the entertainment on Friday night will be furnished by the "Rocking Rebellions" and at our costume party Saturday night we will have the original and sensational "Drifters." The weekend is stacking up to be one of the best ever.

Plans have already been laid for a more successful year at Omicron come September and under our newly elected officers we cannot help but go upward .

April may shower rain for some, but for Pi Kappa Phi it showered two fine new chapters. This evidence of the Fraternity's continued growth came from within two widely separate states-West Virginia and Alabama.

On April 1st the chartering of Psi Delta, local fraternity founded December 14, 1923, brought forth GAMMA ZETA at state-supported West Virginia Institute of Technology, Montgomery, West Virginia, a mountain community several miles east of Charleston, West Virginia. Dr. L. C. Nelson is currently President of this growing school of technology.

rz

Following the chartering of Sigma Phi Epsilon on the campus, Psi Delta contacted Pi Kappa Phi in the spring of 1966 for possible national affiliation. Traveling Counselor John Davis visited the local in the spring of 1966 and was very favorably impressed. Various contacts were made through the summer months culminating with District President Ted Scharfenstein accepting a colony petition in September, 1966.

After a very successful period of colonization the petition of Psi Delta was approved by the National Council on February 22, 1967, and April 1st was set as chartering date. The initiating team was selected from the membership of Alpha Sigma (Tennessee), Frank Pugh, Archon; and Beta Psi (Tennessee Wesleyan), Don Best, Archon. There were twenty-eight (28) charter members to be initiated.

Psi Delta's charter members are: Larry Losch, James Clark, Rodger Jarrell, Roger O'Dell, Phillip Oneacre, Milton Reed, John Mann, Joseph White, Joseph Cimini, Robert Griffith, Charles Stone, Burl Miller, William Thomas, Harold Brooks, Attilio Pecora, James Greear, Louis Mamo, William Harmer, Allan Berger, David Legg, Gerald Hildebrand, Ronda!

Coakley, Charles Hutzler, David Childers, Charles Fuller, Douglas Hirneisen, James Casto, Kenneth Job. The chartering officer was brother Mel Metcalfe, Past National President, Port Arthur, Texas. The assistant chartering officer was brother Ted Scharfenstein, District President--III. National President Kim Jepson and his wife, Betty, were present for the chartering banquet, along with other alumni and college dignitaries.

Professor Jim Clark is the first Chapter Advisor of Gamma Zeta. The chartering officers of Gamma Zeta Chapter are: Archon, Milton Reed; Treasurer, Tee Pecora; Secretary, John Mann; Warden, David Jones; Historian, Charles Hutzler; and Chaplain, Dennis Richard.

' 1967

A thousand miles away, two weeks later on April 15th, the Fraternity's sixth chapter in the State of Alabama was chartered as GAMMA ETA at Athens College in Athens, Alabama. This seventy-ninth charter to be granted by Pi Kappa Phi was approved by the National Council on February 27, 1967.

On May 16, 1966, the local fraternity, Tau Lambda Phi, extended to the Fraternity its petition to become a colony through Bill Dicks, Traveling Councilor. Tau Lambda Phi was the first local fraternity created at Athens College, and was instrumental in securing approval of the college for fraternity and sorority activity.

Pi Kappa Phi became the first national fraternity on campus, soon to be followed by the chartering of colonies

by Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

The colonization period was enhanced by the dedicated efforts of brother Phil Tappy, now District President, District V, and in recognition of his efforts, the National Council appointed brother Tappy as chartering officer, with Tom Deen, Assistant Executive Secretary, as his assistant. The initiating teams were provided by Alpha Eta (Samford), Robert Chandler, Archon; and Gamma Delta (Memphis State), Carl Savage, Archon. They initiated thirty-five (35) charter members.

The charter members of Gamma Eta are: Stephen Jones, Thomas Sox, Jr., James Powell, Harry Lewis, Lee Lemsky, James Sandlin, Berval Bennett, Paul Fanning, John Nolen, Weldon Plant, Charles Murphree, James Price, Alan Hammick, William Kelly, William Luc, Kenneth Shaver, Archie Carroll, III, John Russell, III, Charles Alsup, Jay Martin, James Terry, William Baker, III, Walton Blanton, Charles Molliston, Peter Tharp, Edward Cichorek, Michael Engel, Harry Lebair, Donald Maday, John Mengelson, Robert Owen, Ronald Zmuda, Joel Hardwick, Jeffrey Smith, Peter Lambrakos.

Professor John Russell is Chapter Advisor with the following undergraduates as the chartering officers: Archon, Randall Murphree; Treasurer, Andrew Lemsky; Secretary, Bill Luc; Warden, Jim Powell; Historian, Bob Owen; Chaplain, Bart Lewis.

Brother Jim Golden, National Historian, was the featured speaker for the chartering banquet which was also attended by National President Kim Jepson. Numerous area alumni of Pi Kappa Phi, including Glenn Hearn, Mayor of Huntsville, and college officials attended the banquet.

Athens College, Frank N. Philpot, President, is a liberal arts institution founded in 1822. It is the oldest college in continuous service in the State. It is a Methodist-supported coeducational school of 1,300 students.

Of Alumni Affairs-Tom Deen:

PROUD T'O BE PI IUPPS th '!'hat's the best way to express the feeling of

Pi Kappa Phi has alumni around the world and in all professions. Let's all share with each other what we are doing. News of your advancement; change of address; marriage ; experiences; anything you think worthwhile send it along to the National Office and to your Chapter.

Pi Kappa Phi now has over 25,000 alumni.

We must begin to think big and of the total fraternity. We have waited too long to do this and now we must catch up. All brothers at the proper time, and this is known only to each of you, contribute in the best way that is suitable to you. These contributions can be material and/ or personal. These can be made now or in the future.

We must increase the size of Pi Kappa Phi Memorial Foundation. This is our educational, scholarship, and leadership Foundation. Contributions to this Foundation are tax deductible.

One should keep in mind that the member this Foundation aids may be his son; or the chapter that we were a member of; or it may aid in the reactivation of a chapter at his school.

All that the present young men need, to have sound, productive members of solid character, are Pi Kapps who have traveled the road before them and will share this experience with them.

If you are on the faculty or live near a University, what more pleasure could there be than offering to work with the young men of Pi Kappa Phi's chapters. Offer your aid to the chapter advisory committee so that the undergraduates can see the true meaning of Pi Kappa Phi brotherhood.

Support the chapters of Pi Kappa Phi by rushing and recommending to the chapters future students that you know will make good Pi Kapps.

Many other points could be put forth but the key is PRIDE-TO BE PROUD TO BE A PI KAPP and to show your colors NOW.

daotherhood first found during undergraduate s Y~ continues to flow in our veins. This is the i~ 1 ~lt found by the Director of Alumni Affairs lSthr.aveling some 10,000 miles since February
