FORMER TRAVELING COUNSELOR

-JOHN DAVIS TALKS ABOUT OLD AND NE\N VALUES OF FRATER·N ITIES

fo:

Now Advisor to IFC-Indiana University

esRATERNITIES are not dying, but they are teetering on the brink of old and new values. That's the assessment of John D. Davis, Beta Beta, former traveling counselor for Pi Kappa Phi and now the Interfraternity Council advisor at Indiana University, where he is working on a graduate degree. In an interview with Jon McKesson of the Indianapolis Star's I.U. bureau, John made the above assessment of today's campus-fraternity scene and talked further about fraternities as follows: There are today more fraternity members than ever before, but percentagewise they are not keeping pace with college enrollments. This is to be expected. Today there are 225,000 undergraduates in 4,000 chapters at 500 universities, an increase of 28 per cent since 1956. At I. U. roughly 26 per cent of the male enrollment, or 2,600 students, belong to fraternities. The pioneering social fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, was founded in 1845 out of students' needs to discuss and debate. Now these needs are met in classrooms and other university functions, so the current needs are an organized life for those who want or need it and something to be loyal to other than a university. Although these needs seem legitimate, they are not enough. There are too many members not getting out of their houses enough to know what's going on. If fraternities die, these people are the killers. Fraternities must keep pace with the times if they are to survive. They should increase their sphere of involvement by facilitating intellectualism through building of their own libraries and adding more cultural events to a heavy social calendar. They should also push for change; dream up their own projects effecting community, academic and social direction. They should go out and investigate society, because they are spending too much time reacting to it instead of acting in it. Inside the fraternity, the biggest problem is housing and the most sensitive area is "image." A house, which on the average has room for 80 members, costs about $450,000. This means that membership has to be kept up to help pay 'it off.

A rich alumnus used to be a great help to easing financial problems, but that's not true today. There are so many other funds to con· tribute to. On the other hand, there is one good point about this, and that is that undergradu· ate members must assume responsibility for housing and face up to debt. Fraternities are most sensitive about image, and although leftists and hippies are more ill the news now, members still feel the sting of those once-frequent reports of "thirty frater· nity brothers arrested for being drunk at 8 blanket party." If people who live in a dormitory get ill trouble, it's just a group of individuals but if one fraternity member goes astray, th~ whole fraternity gets in trouble. The pressure and the responsibility that come with commitment is great, but they do afford students a valuable living experience. Most students come to college only knowing life in a home with parents. College affords them an opportunity to experiment in ways of living. As freshmen they can learn about dor· mitory living, and then they can join a fra· ternity to learn about organized life. When they are grad students they can live off campus and learn about outside life. It's all educational.

THE PI KAPP SCHOLARS Kappa Phi Scholarship PenPIdants are awarded annually to the fraternity's top students. To be a Pi Kapp Scholar is to have attained academic rank among the very top percentage of students in American colleges and universities. Individual excellence in scholarship is always to be admired ; and it is especially vital in an organization like Pi Kappa Phi, which is so much a part of the academic community. To foster the ideal of scholastic excellence and to recognize their contribution to the general welfare of the fraternity, Pi Kapp Scholars are so honored each year. The Pi Kapp Scholars for 1967 have received certificates and Scholarship Pendants. These nine men selected on the basis of their 1967 academic records are, interestingly enough, wellrounded college men, t h e i r scholastic achievements balanced by their interest and activity in a variety of campus functions. The fraternity salutes these outstanding members of the brotherhood. Neal John Evans, II, Gamma, University of California. Neal is from Oakland, Calif., a senior physics major at Berkeley. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Honor Students Society, Tower and Flame, and holds an Oakland Kiwanis Club Scholarship. He participates in intramural sports and has served Gamma chapter as archon and secretary. In his spare time, Neal likes sailing, sports car rallies, hiking, and billiards. He worked during the summer and part-time in the school year in a research position established by an Atomic Energy Commission grant for study of high energy physics and is now a reader for the Physics 4

Does it provide direction for your chapter? Sheridan: Yes. Ritual acts as the skeleton around which the fraternity is structured. Without this skeleton, a fraternity would become an amorphous mass, directionless. Lunt: In our quite diversified chapter, although fraternity values may not often be consciously thought about, they go a long way in holding us together.

t The proposition discussed: As an undergradu-

Baremore: I seriously doubt that in a real college situation it performs this duty on much more than a superficial level ... It tends to be removed from the everyday experiences of the average college student, and we have failed in providing the transitions necessary to make it applicable to those experiences ... It's the same situation that many churches face today; it's comparatively easy to get members to attend on Sunday, but getting them to actively associate what they hear in the sanctuary with their everyday lives is quite a different matter. Tappy: No ... Direction for the individual chapters seems to stem largely from the leadership of the chapter officers and from the general atmosphere of a given campus . . . The once-a-quarter or twice-a-year ritual, no matter how effective, cannot provide the needed day-to-day direction. McConnell: The ritual 路p romotes ideals which we as Pi Kapps are dedicated to strive for, and by our doing so within the chapter, the chapter is given direction in the daily handling of its affairs by brothers. NeSmith: It expresses the intangible values which constitute the principles upon which Pi Kappa Phi was founded ... the values become not simply values but goals that are capable of being experienced, achieved, and thereby can be used to provide direction for a chapter. Hackleman: The value of the ritual as a directional guideline depends on the individual chapter, its members, and its officers. Its potential cannot be realized unless a sufficient amount of significance, respect, adherence, and repetition is given to the ritual.

Does it develop within you a comprehension of the esthetic values of our j?路aternity? Sheridan: (Yes), but only if the individual is properly endowed with a true understanding of the essence of a fraternity ... The ritual can increase an awareness of the esthetic and, in particular, the spiritual aspects of our fraternity. Baremore: I believe the only way to develop a comprehension of these esthetic values is in

the attitudes and actions of individual members as they are passed on from class to class ... A fraternity whose members were able to exemplify its values through their act~ons could exist without a ritual, whereas a r1tual alone will not make a group of men into a fraternity. Tappy: Very much so . . . For most undergraduates the ritual is the first dramatic experience of this type they have e-yer ~ad, and consequently its impact and bearmg 1s great. Most undergraduates spend considerable t!me in personal analyzation of what they have JUSt been through. The first time ... is probably the time when the esthetic values have the most meaning.

but now no longer necessary. I feel that an in· dividual needs flexibility and should be governed by internal mechanisms rather than from without. Tappy: Yes . . . In its present form it says what it should in a concise, meaningful way.

NeSmith: No ... A ritual is 'inherently rigid and inflexible. In a situation requiring almost conditioned reflex action, a ritual might suf· fice; but in most of our daily fraternity activi· ties this would simply not suffice and would often times prove to be very inflexible for such a fluid situation. Hackleman: The ritual contains sufficient in· gredients; the values are there. The problem area concerns the way these values are presented and emphasized.

Sheridan: Certainly, the ritual does exactly that. It gives structure to that type of affair. The function of the ritual is to give meaning, provide value for the various aspects of the fraternity that make it a fraternity.

Baremore: No. If this were true, then one would be able to look at the ritual and say, "This is brotherhood."

Lunt: Yes. These rituals provide us needed, repeated exposure to our fraternal values.

drawing men together in a common bond and perhaps for the first time giving the true feeling for the new initiate of a brotherhood bond.

Does it afford articulated values in such structured things as initiations, elections to membership, formal meetings?

Baremore: With the exception of the initia· tion, they offer little, if any, evidence of what I consider to be the values of my fraternity.

Does it physically illustrate our beliefs in the precepts of our fraternity?

NeSmith: Yes. The group has something shared which sets it apart from the masses and is therefore more cohesive.

Sheridan: Yes, the ritual 'is a physical ex· pression of the spiritual aspects of our fra· ternity.

Hackleman: The continuous repetition of the ritual experience does tend to strengthen the ties of brotherhood. However, I think this is true of virtually any group participation where an experience is shared ... it must be more than group repetition. It should stimulate thought and be meaningful to each participating individual. It is essential that each ceremony be conducted in a suitable manner.

Lunt: These rituals are rigid forms which must be followed, and as such are not really illustrative in themselves ... Our daily actions toward one another are probably the most illustrative.

Sheridan: Probably the ritual is overdone ... Certain aspects of our ritual are outdated, conceived during a period when they were needed, 8

McConnell: Definitely ... It makes each initiate aware of the seriousness and permanence of the bonds he is preparing to carry.

Does it do this to a sufficient extent?

Lunt: I don't know about anyone else in our chapter, but I feel quite proud and really experience the sense of a fraternal bond every time we initiate someone. I do know one of the most festive times at our chapter is right after initiation. It's really groovy seeing everyone slapping each other on the back, congratulating them, the singing, the talking; it's really something to see.

Tappy: True. This bond acts as a magnet,

il h

Baremore: Certain physical elements, of which the ritual is a prime example, are necessary either to draw guidelines for action or to set goals for mental attitudes ... In this manner, the ritual plays the same role in the fraternity as a revival does in a country church; it gets everyone back on the right path again. Tappy: Yes . . . These are the long-lasting values that stick, especially for those undergraduates who never see another ritual performed. ' THE

Sheridan: Morality is too strong a word ... fraternity ritual will offer a code for the droiher~ood collectively, but less on an indiviuba _bas.1s. An individual is more affected by his up r1ngmg prior to this initiation.

Lunt: Morality is one of the most important ahpects that there is to our fraternity and should be to any fraternity ... It is up to the chapter's members to live up to the code, t ough.

Is it relevant to the expressed aims of the f raternity? r路 Bar~more: Certainly. After all, what is the ~tutal 1f not the essence of the expressed aims he fraternity?

T~ppy: The ritual does a good job in prolllobng most of the fraternity aims. This, however, is not enough. These aims must be ex~~esse? continually by the National Office, the 1 Udlllll! of the fraternity, and the officers and ea ers of each individual chapter.

goals have been necessarily modified by the evolution of time. This interdependence demonstrates the relevance of the ritual's values to the aims of the fraternity.

Does it prescribe a definite role and code of conduct for the individual? Sheridan: If a man comes to the fraternity properly fortified with manners and other desirable attributes, then I feel that he would benefit from the ritual. However, if a man is not receptive to change and is already entrenched in his ways, the benefits of fraternity living will have no effect on him. Baremore: Yes. It's a desirable code, but one that should be under constant change to keep up with the changing world of the college student. Tappy: It sure seems to me like our code of conduct is changing as is the undergraduate sense of values. The ritual makes our code plain but the pledgeship period should be a time in which manners, respect, honesty, and responsibility are taught and taught with impact and emphasis. If taught with all available tools they should be an easy tag by which to recognize a fraternity m~n from a non-Greek. This, I believe, is vital to fraternities. McConnell: Yes . . . By prescribing a role for us, each brother is made aware of his obligations and duties to the fraternity. NeSmith: Certainly ... I see this as perhaps the most vital function of all ritualism . . . Ritual reduces the per-chance intrusion of nonconformity, which can weaken the homogeneous structure of the group and thereby introduce obstacles to the group's continued existence. Hackleman: It is up to the individual to evaluate our prescribed code of conduct and either observe it or make known his criticism of it ... the goals are stated and the guidelines are set by the ritual. The problem lies with the individual chapters and their ability to furnish the proper environment for the acomplishment of these goals and adherence to the roles by the individual brothers.

McConnell: Very definitely . . . The ritual f.ffers each of us those things which can be ~ked with such aims as brotherhood, scholars 1P, loyalty, dedication, and pride. t Hackleman: Many of the expressed aims of he fraternity are contained in the ritual. Other F E B R U A R Y,

How

"THE ROSE OF PI KAPPA PHI" Came To Be Written

No Pi Kapp can fail to wax nostalgic while singing those stirring verses of the old frater路 nity song, The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi. It's the sweetheart song we use to serenade our Pi Kappa Phi girls and the fraternity's R o s e Q u e e n. T h e words and music were composed by Robert Harper, Kappa, and his sister-in-law, Marian P. Harper, wife of Henry G. Harper, Kappa, now president of Kappa Council, Inc. Her路e, in her own words, is Mrs . H arper's story of the birth of our traditional sweethear~ song, and, here too, is a picture gallery of P~ Kappa Phi's current National Rose Queen, Carol McKinley, on her路 campus at Valdosta State College .

But that's the way The Rose of t appa Phi first saw the light of day. II Bob Harper, younger brother of my husband, f enry G. Harper, and my son, Henry III, were e~low participants on December 21, 1923, in w at has become one of my fondest memories. ~hile in college at Salem, I became an auto~~.1C booster for Pi Kappa Phi when I began Ca mg Henry, who was an alumnus of Kappa Bhbpter at the University of North Carolina. C0 had entered UNC and pledged Kappa Chapter also, moving later to Psi Chapter at orh~ell University, where he graduated in arc 1tecture. On that afternoon in 1923, Bob was still enrolled at Chapel Hill and had come over to visit ~~ ~ring the Christmas holidays at our home h Providence Road in Charlotte. The house as since been razed to make way for "prog~ess," and, incidentally, was only two blocks ;ap~ from the present National Headquarters 0 I Kappa Phi. We began talking about the fraternity, and ~ur I?utual interest in music led me to my piano ,~\hick out notes, while Bob began rhyming S~ a pad and pencil. The late Wade Bolt, b '~-Yma, had sent out an S.O.S. for a new song ook from his post as editor of The Star and L amp. w路The !nspiration for the song was interwoven lth P1 Kappa Phi itself. The "stars of heaven" ;~re suggested by the fraternity's magazine, c e Star and Lamp. The "gold of sunset" realle.d the gold and white colors of the frat ermty. th He~ry III, now 44 (Heavens!

pant, though not a particularly helpful one that afternoon. As I recall the chronology, he developed a coughing spell between "beautiful land" and "vision so bright"; a quick diaper change was engineered at about "lamp so bright"; and a resounding, red-faced cry for attention arose from his carriage when the "gold of sunset ... fades in the Western sky." By that time, The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi had achieved a momentum of its own, and was quickly concluded. It is with a sense of genuine pride and gratitude that I see my name and that of my brotherin-law as composers of this song. Pi Kappa Phi is today-as in our college days-an important part of our lives as my husband and I continue to share an interest in the fraternity through his current work with Kappa Alumni Chapter and as life trustee of the Pi Kappa Phi Memorial Foundation. And then there are classes to attend.

HaPPening ALPHA--COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON

As the College of Charleston grows, so does Alpha Chapter. This year we pledged 35 men. Under the guidance of Pledgemaster Michael Irwin they are moving rapidly toward initiation. On campus, Pi Kappa Phi's influence grew as we again captured a majority of the student offices. George Malanos was elected president of the Student Council. On the council with him are 12 students, eight of whom are Pi Kapps. Brothers also were elected to three of the four State Student Legislature seats. Although the house hasn't grown any since last year, it has certainly been improved. Two rooms have been paneled and new furniture bought. The brotherhood had to invest much time and money, but the results have been most gratifying.

Our rather extended rush season included several socials and other activities which were topped by our closed smoker. Former National President W. Bernard Jones was the main speaker for the evening. Our Founders DaY speaker was Chapter Advisor Zeb WilliamS路 Afterward we participated as a group in the Empty Stocking Fund. And we held a Christmas party for Boys' Farm at Newberry, S. C., which was followed by caroling around campus and in town. Last year with profits from a "car bang" we purchased a bus and a TV for Boys' Farm. When the new Georgia Dorm is completed soon, one more step will be completed in our school's building program. Included in this program is construction of a fraternity row, and we hope to be able to have a house then. GAMMA--CALIFORNIA

BETA--PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE

We are very pleased with the excellent progress our chapter has made in this, our 60th year on campus. We now have 16 brothers, eight upperclass pledges, and 14 freshmen pledges. We are tied for first place in pledges gained during formal rush. Along with our improvement in numbers we have improved in scholastics and intramurals. Our scholastic average has risen considerably and we have instituted study halls as part of our improvement program. We did well in IM football and took second place in tennis competition. Basketball has begun and we are doing well. David Templeton has been representing the school and fraternity at school athletic events as the "Fighting Bluehorseman" ; and A. C. Moore will carry on this tradition next year. After the Homecoming game this year we honored chapter and school alumnus Lonnie McMillan, the retired head coach, at a special party. Andy Barnett was elected to Scabbard and Blade military honorary; and Terry Clyburn was a candidate for All-American golfer, finishing 18th in a field of 250 competitors. 12

Our representatives to Pi Kapp College returned to Berkeley bursting with ambitious plans, and some of them have actually begun to work. Thus we doubled our size with the largest pledge class of the 40 fraternities at Cal. Our 27 new pledges were at once infected with Gamma's enthusiasm to be best at everything. Our house only holds 27 and many members and pledges have been forced to live out. But difficulties in keeping everyone involved and active are partially met with our neW pledge big brother system. The responsibilitY for pledge education was largely transferred to a big brother in the same major field of studY who is also charged with the academic success of his little brother. Our alumni relations program also has benefited from our enthusiasm. This year we hope to revive the once active Alumni Association and give our graduate brothers a chance to share in our program. The Founders Day banquet was the largest gathering of Gamma alumni in many years. The highlight of the evening came when Rusty Patrick was named "Alumnus of the Year" for his invaluable help during the past three years as director of our rush efforts. THE

would like to thank our loyal alumni for making this new house and the resultant improvement in morale possible. LAMBDA-UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

Aside from the football game and parties, Homecoming at the University of Georgia proved to be most memorable. The greatest number of alumni in many years returned to our chapter to enjoy the festivities. Among them were Tom Dalton, Tom Howell, Gary Keappler, Tom Russell, Mike Montesani, Wayne Williams, Bill King, Charlie Rowland, Len Powell, Art Boyette, Roger Wagner, Phil Tappy, Paul Smith, Ray Pinkerton, Larry McDaniel, Clay Threaton, Bill Allen, Bob Orr, Steve Kaylor. After the game brothers and alumni met at the house for a buffet supper. Babysitting service and tickets to the Righteous Brothers concert were available to all alums. Because of the success of the event, a combination Homecoming-Alumni Day will become an annual tradition at Lambda Chapter. I-ROANOKE COLLEGE

We got started early by playing host to the 233 delegates at Pi Kapp College. Then we opened the fall intramural season with an outstanding performance on the football field. Although we lost second place standings in the last half minute of the season, our team revealed great ability and fine potential for the coming years. We are now looking forward to a good basketball season, and in the spring we hope to do very well in softball intramurals. At Christmas we gave a party for the less fortunate youngsters in our area. MU-DUKE UNIVERSITY

In our first year under Advisor Ted Buschman, who succeeded Bill Brinkley, we are continuing at the same pace which made us a Master Champion Chapter last year and enabled us to receive the Horace Emmann trophy for the best fraternal living group at Duke. Our brothers hold many influential positions on campus. These include president of the Men's Student Government, two senators, a member of the Student Union board of governors, members of several honoraries on campus, president of the Engineering Student Government, three officers in the YMCA, two members of the Judicial Board, and treasurer of the IFC. We have vastly improved our scholastic rating on campus. Steve Sapp and Mark Heaney were selected for membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Steve was also nominated for a Fulbright Scholarship; Mark was nominated 13

for a Fulbright and a Woodrow Wilson grant and has also been selected a Pi Kapp Scholar. National recognition has come to brothers Myers, Newton, Cone, Davenport, and Heaney by their selection for Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities. In varsity athletics, Warren Chapman and Bruce Reynolds represented Mu on the basketball and football teams, respectively. Our Brother Dunaway, '67, is now playing for the Green Bay Packers. Other brothers are active in soccer, rugby, and track. Cheering them on are our cheerleaders, Dan Sexton, Skip Walters, Sandy Mason, and Head Cheerleader AI Cone. At our Rose Ball Gayle Lee, a blue-eyed blonde, was crowned our Rose Queen. She is pinned to Dick Turbiville, '67, who is now at SMU Law School. After a great start this year, we're hoping for a continuing successful rush to help perpetuate our fine tradition. NU-NEBRASKA

Last summer we took part in a new type of rush known as Wildcat Rush. Under this new summer program, each house may pledge 10 men between the first of June and the first of August. Summer jobs and faraway homes had scattered many, leaving a skeleton crew to plot and coordinate; but this crew was supplemented by many others who did make it and by the help of local alumni, especially Don Leonard of Lincoln and Charles S. Reed of Bellevue, who kindly loaned us their homes for summer rush functions. Wildcat Rush ended with two pledges, many friends and much experience in the field of summer rush. Five more men were pledged later, and the class participates in most campus activities. Recently we had the honor of meeting George Odgers, our founder, and his wife, when they attended a formal dinner at the house. Following Dr. Odgers' visit we provided another interesting evening by marking the beginning of our new lecture series. The series has featured discussion of popular issues by important campus personalities. Homecoming brought one of our finest turnouts in many years with over 100 attending. The returning alumni spanned the 50 years since Nu was established at the University. Some of the old-timers were W. L. Simpson, retired pharmacist; Charles Reed, attorney and banker ; Oscar Morensen, retired postal employee; Joe Liebendorfer, department manager for Gold's of Lincoln ; Don Swanson, Goodyear Tire; Ivan Hed~re. banker; Wally Loerch, C.P.A. ; William Zieg, dentist; Ken Barnes, building supplies; William Elmer, attorney; Paul Lessenhop, salesman; H. C. Henderson, insurance executive; and Leo Beattie, dentist who was recently honored with the Distinguished Service Award of the Nebraska Col14

lege of Dentistry Alumni Association. The more recent grads made a good showing also, and Charles Reed did an excellent job as master of ceremonies. At Christmas time we abducted all the soro· rity housemothers - with their consent- and held them hostage at a card party until the sorority girls came up with the goods-canned goods, that is. When delivered, the entire grouP marched downtown to donate the food to the Salvation Army. Holy Kidnap!

OMICRON-ALABAMA

We started the school year with a very im· pressive rush week. We pledged almost 10 per· cent of the number out, which is very good con· sidering the type of rush at Alabama. And we're proud of our pledges' leadership, aggres· siveness, and especially the unity they have e}C· hibited. This year Isabelle Clark, our Rose Queen, was voted by the student body as one of the Top Campus Beauties and was first runner-uP to the Homecoming Queen. As a result of hard work by our officers and alumni, we will soon start construction on a party room and chapter room extension (much to the dismay of our house basketball team be· cause the building will cover our present court)· Our two civic projects last semester brought us quite a bit of satisfaction and recognition from Tuscaloosa citizens. Our main project was to repaint the local junior high school gym. The other project was a Christmas party given for the Partlow School for Special Children. Our biggest change has been in scholarship. For the first time in recent history we were above the all-fraternity average and the all· men's average. And it looks like we will again be high on the scholarship report this semester. RHO-WASHINGTON & LEE

The new school year started off well for Rho with a highly successful rush week. The result was 21 new pledges, the largest pledge class on campus. The new program at Washington and Lee prevents any organized pledge activitieS until mid-semester grades are out, but the pro· gram is working well. Having won the Intramural Trophy last year, we are working hard to do it again. So far we are in second place, and as previously it is go· ing to be a close race. We are also going to tr:Y to recapture the Greek Week trophy. Rich John· son and Jim DeSouza won the second annual Trivia Contest this year against stiff facult:Y competition. In the field of debating, Tom Bare· more has again distinguished himself. Andrew Wyndham, a pledge, is also on the team and haS a promising season ahead of him. Tom will also be a prominent figure in the 1968 Republican Mock Convention here, witb THE

brothers majoring in industrial design doing the planning and the chapter providing the labor we have completely remodeled our first floor. The job, though already extensive, is far from complete. On the boards yet is a new chapter room and cedar paneling for all stairways. We've saved the chapter quite a bit of money, but the main benefit of the project has been the boost to morale. Our new interior gives us a tremendous pride of accomplishment and a greater sense of working together in brotherhood. CHI-STETSON

We have a lot to be proud of as we look back over our first semester. Our first activity on campus was the annual Pi Kappa Phi Freshman Beauty Contest. The judges chose beautiful Rochelle Waters of Homestead, Fla., to reign for the 1967-68 school year. We came through in rush once again as we ended with 17 of the most outstanding men on campus, including two freshman senators and a member of Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honorary. Our Pete O'Callaghan has provided great leadership in the IFC's new tutorial project to help pledges and actives in making their grades. Plans have been made for the entire chapter to "retreat" during the winter term to a camp outside of Orlando. This will be a time for recommitment to the ideals of Pi Kappa Phi. Our new officers are : Ken Radebaugh, archon; Craig Ebaugh, treasurer; Ralph Cline, secretary; Steve West, warden; Dick Mahaffey, historian; and Steve Shoemaker, chaplain. Stan Christian did an outstanding job of revising Chi's bylaws. Our alumni have reorganized, and through the leadership of George Borders, '60, are making great strides in gaining closer ties with the active chapter. Over 30 alums attended our Founders Day program which included an active-alumni football game followed by a banquet . PSI-CORNELL

Our new officers are : Richard Bochan, archon; Paul Mayer, treasurer; James Kirkpatrick, secretary; Gary Fisher, historian; Robert Blacker, chaplain; Chris Clark, warden; Dick Robson, kitchen steward; Ned Korman, purchasing steward; Terry Smith, house manager; Crockett Marsh, social chairman. We are this year participating in the new Cornell IFC rushing schedule. The first section began in October and ended at the beginning of Christmas vacation. After vacation, the second part began with a series of smokers and dinners in rapid succession. The old form of spring rush-a brief but intensive inter-session con15

tact, smoker, and dinner system-has evolved into a semester-long series of dinners interspersed by several abbreviated smokers and shortened inter-session contacts. So far, contacts have been numerous, and the brothers are working like demons to keep up the hectic pace. We are looking forward to a large and enthusiastic spring pledge class. A fire sprinkler system has been installed in the house in compliance with new Cornell fire safety rules. In the meantime, minor alterations were completed on our kitchen by several brothers. OMEGA-PURDUE

Early this spring we will break ground for a new 26-man addition to our present 50-man house. The addition will be completed by the beginning of the 1968-69 school year and will include enlargement of the sleeping dorm, addition of 13 study rooms, and complete remodeling and enlargement of kitchen, dining, living, and recreation rooms. Also included will be a permanent chapter room. Remodeling of the present plumbing and wiring systems also is planned. The existing house, which was completed in 1929, has been remodeled several times but there have been no major additions before. Omega Chapter feels that it must expand to maintain its position of leadership on campus in the ever expanding Greek system at Purdue. ALPHA ZETA-OREGON STATE

With a newly remodeled chapter house for inspiration we put forth a tremendous effort throughout formal rush week and pledged 15 outstanding men. As for organization and participation in school activities, this has been one of the finest pledge classes in the last several years. Our pledges headed the Rook Bonfire Committee and received a first place, along with Chi Omega Sorority, for decorating a room at the Memorial Union for a Christmas party for children of the faculty and students. With Alpha Omega Chapter also in the process of remodeling, we had a joint house dance here in Corvallis. The pledge class walkout this term led north to Alpha Delta colony at the University of Washington, to whom we owe a skin for the O.S.U.-Washington football game. Alumni attendance of about 40 at this year's Homecoming set a record, and equally increased was alumni participation in our Founders Day. The two keynote speakers were National Secretary Jack Steward and District President Kurt Englestad. We're looking for impressive alumni attendance at this year's Rose Ball, too. Our informal rush centered around a big and little brother team. The little brother was re16

sponsible for making the original contact and introducing him to the big brother, who an· swered questions concerning fraternities in general and particularly Pi Kappa Phi. This has been found to be a good system, with the pledging of four men since it was adopted.

ALPHA ETA-SAMFORD UNIVERSITY

"The Year of the Trophy" is what we call 1967. At the top of the list is, of course, our winning the National Champion Master Chap· ter banner. Another thing we are cheering about is the news that we will build a house. As Alpha Eta enters its fifth year since returning' to this campus, the need for a house is great. A major fund-raising drive has been launched for this purpose with the full assistance of our alumni. We're hoping construction may begin within a few months. Our new chapter advisor, Austin Letson, Epsilon; recent Alpha Eta graduate Billy Arrn· istead; and former Archon Bill Troutman are setting the pace. These brothers are working' with two of Pi Kappa Phi's finest-Ed Beason, Alpha Eta, president of our Alumni House Corp., and Rho's invaluable gift, Howard D. Leake. For our Founders Day banquet more than 30 alumni made their way to Birmingham from as far away as Miami, Nashville, and St. Louis. And we were especially honored by the presence of the chapter's first initiate, Warren BuzzY Arrasmith. Our awards this year have included: the Scholarship Cup for top fraternity average on campus ; the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup for top pledge class average; the Fraternity Spirit Trophy (for the third consecutive year) and another Step-Sing first place. We have more men in student government than all other fraternities combined, and three brothers were named to Who's Who in Ameri·

can Colleges and Universities.

The "Mr. Samford" award went to a Pl Kapp, and all but one of the Samford sororitieS have 11.amed an Alpha Eta man as their "sweet· heart." We have started an auxiliary group of Sarn· ford coeds called the Little Sisters of Pi Kappa Phi. Fourteen girls who have given their time to assist the chapter in its climb to the top were named to this select organization. President of the new group is our fabulous Rose Queen, Emily Golson.

Last September the brothers built an entirely new kitchen, including a new tile floor, wood paneled walls, dropped ceiling with recessed lighting, and new commercial appliances. ALPHA SIGMA-TENNESSEE

We got off to a rushing start this year as we pledged 28 men during rush week. We participated in intramural football, bowling, and swimming last quarter with the best showing made by the bowling team, which finished second with a 23-10 record. The sports highlight of the quarter was the annual pledge-active tackle football game. After a slow start, the brothers came on strong and won handily, 24-12. We initiated six girls into our Little Sisters of The Star and Lamp. They are our Rose Queen, Trenna Park, Patti Kowalski, Cherry Lane Broadwell, Olivia Overall, Barbara Neil, and Janie Banks. These girls were of great assistance during rush. Homecoming this year was a spectacle to behold. The Friday night parade featured sophisticated floats with moving parts and colored lights. Our entry carried the theme, "Happiness Is the Promised Land," which depicted Coach Doug Dickey parting Tulane's Green Wave. We were also represented by our "Vol Spirit Wagon," an orange and white piano mounted on a float complete with singers, and the WKGN radio station's hearse, decorated by our Little Sisters. Our brothers and pledges also aided the Knoxville Journal in its annual Milk Fund drive and sponsored a fish pond booth at the IFC Christmas party for Knoxville orphans. Our brothers are active in many areas of campus activity, including IFC and SGA committees, the UT Daily Beacon, and Circle K Club. Charlton DeVault and Leonard Dunavant attended the Tennessee Interscholastic State Legislature in November. Our Founders Day-Rose Ball will be held in February. Alumnus Tommy Thompson is assisting with plans for this event, which will feature U. S. Senator Howard H. Baker, Alpha Sigma, as our guest of honor. ALPHA TAU-RENSSELAER

The Pi Kapps at Rensselaer were happy to return to our newly sandblasted "castle" for the fall term. During the spring of 1967 the front of the house was sandblasted and all of its drainage problems were repaired. In addition to sandblasting, repairing, and cleaning, the house acquired a new 25 inch color television. Scholarship was one of the main points stressed in the recent year and proved highly successful. As the result of intense study programs initiated into the house, Pi Kapp at R. P.

in the first basketball game of Homecoming '67. Our six-foot-seven-inch archon repeated his performance the next day to give Tech a clean sweep for the weekend. The revival of Homecoming saw many other Pi Kapps hard at work decorating the house, learning the long-forgotten Tech Fight Song, and drumming up some long-dormant school spirit. Recently we initiated three new brothers, the second time in two years that we have initiated a spring semester pledge, a rare thing on this campus. The brothers and pledges are hard at work trying to set up our third "off semester" pledge class in a row. This year's 16-man fall pledge class is working hard. Once again, the class reflects Ill. Tech's growing national reputation, with pledges coming from not only Illinois, but New Jersey, New York, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, and South Carolina. Gone, fortunately, are the days when the entire chapter went home for the weekend. ALPHA MU-PENN STATE

Our house is really moving this year. We are third in intramurals. We won a second place in the Homecoming window display contest, which brought us a beautiful trophy and good public relations. And when Penn State was invited to the Gator Bowl, we chartered a bus to Jacksonville. It was only half filled by our brothers, so we opened it to the campus, and had no trouble filling it. ALPHA CHI-MIAMI

We are proud to report our greatest progress in many years. With a pledge class of 12 fine men, there are prospects of doubling our chapter's size. Our Founders Day this year was small but provided a very enjoyable evening of dining and conversation with our chapter alumni. Our most successful venture so far this semester was our entry into the Homecoming parade. Building the float gave us many hours of enjoyment and brought the chapter considerable recognition on campus. Events we are looking forward to are a brothers-pledges football game and beach party (dates to provide cheering sections, etc.) and a trip to Alpha Epsilon at the University of Florida. We are presently in the process of working out details for taking a house off campus. This should provide a stimulus for extended growth and a grand finale for what has thus far been a great year. ALPHA PSI-INDIANA

We are happy to report that Alpha Psi already has three pledges for the spring semester. Operations within the house have really been going well this year compared to first semester 19

last year. Jay Platt made the Varsity Swimming team this year and was also the escort for one of the Queen candidates at the Tyronian (traditional I. U. dance). Plans are being made for a winning Little 500 team this May; we have the ability and the desire. For the first time, we have a chance of being at house capacity next semester. We got our new showers put in finally so the pledge class is going to finish fixing up the bathroom and also the dorm ; everything on the top three floors will then have been painted in this last year. ALPHA OMEGA-OREGON

Our chapter has shown it can function as a unit even when everyone is distributed around campus in apartments, which was the case last term while the addition to our house was being built. The addition is the realization of a dream that everyone will at last be able to live in the house. Our reactivated chapter has waited long and anxiously for a physical plant which would house all of our members instead of less than 50 per cent which has been the case in the past. After giving up a plan for a new house as being out of reason, we accepted the present addition as a good alternative. The new space will be ample to our needs and includes increased sleeping facilities, an enlarged kitchen and dining area, a sleeping porch, and eight new rooms, with a possibility of converting space on the ground floor into three more rooms as the need arises. It will house 28 men. Total cost of the addition was $48,000 and includes only bare essentials, with the finishing touches to be provided by the brothers, especially on their individual rooms.

basketball teams, judo team, rifle team, and bowling team. In IFC sports, the brotherhood has strong hopes of topping last year's second place in football and third place in basketball. Following one of the best rush efforts in recent years, 10 men began the pledge prograJI1 this fall. Initial rush work was begun last suiJ1· mer with a letter, sent to all incoming fresh· men, describing Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and asking them to visit our house. This was fol· lowed by an active rush during freshman orien· tation. Friday night rush parties, with active alumni participation, rounded out our success· ful program. Our Social Chairman Thomas Pardew haS gone to great lengths to continue the inspira· tional parties the house had each weekend at our summer house in Toms River, N. J. And our regular campus social activities included the Playboy and Halloween parties, spiced with unpredictable events like the Wine-o and Pa· jama parties. The highlight of the semester was our joint Founders Day with the brothers of Alpha Xi at Brooklyn Poly. House improvements are a major item on our schedule this year. With the help of a 25 per cent dues increase and generous contributions from our alumni, the brotherhood hopes to re· place the ancient wiring and bathroom in the house, and to apply a much needed coat of paint to the front of the house. Our chapter continues to have problems ill keeping track of our constantly roaming alurn· ni. We ask that our alumni notify us of anY change in address or a change you know of ill another brother's address so we can keep ill touch. We recently completed final arrangements for this year's Rose Ball at the Holster Restau· rant in Wayne, N. J., on April 6.

BETA ALPHA-NEWARK COLLEGE

The quality and success of our chapter, and the hard work and spirited drive of all the brothers and pledges has again won us the IFC "Best Fraternity On Campus" award. In addition, our chapter was honored by the selection of Gerry Kurth as recipient of the "Best Senior" award. This year has also been extremely fruitful for our chapter in campus activities. We have four brothers in honor societies and six in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. In addition, many brothers hold offices in professional societies, the Student Center Operating Board, the Athletic Association, and the Class Councils. Publications at NCE also have a strong Pi Kapp flavor since the editors of both the student magazine and the yearbook are brothers of Beta Alpha. Little wonder that "Pi Kapp Power" was the topic of a recent student newspaper editorial. The sports picture also looks bright with many brothers on the junior varsity and varsity 20

BETA BETA-FLORIDA

Beta Beta Chapter has had a very rewarding semester with projects completed for both the school and community. We had a very success· ful alumni banquet at which 15 alumni attended, including two charter members froill 1948. At the present time the chapter is working on a 15-foot totem pole to be erected in the yard. This will be the second one in our 20· year history. Plans are now complete for the spring rusll and room is being made for a twenty-ma!l pledge class for the coming semester. Next se· mester Beta Beta will also sponsor its annual all campus homecoming dance. As you can see Beta Beta is definitely on the rise at F. S.c. and will not stop until it is number one o!l campus.

BETA DELTA--DRAKE w'!Ve have done it again, only this time better. rth a 2.71 grade point in the spring of '67, we set the all time high fraternity scholastic average at Drake University. Not only that, but the Pledges set the highest recorded mark for Pledge classes with a 2.66 grade average. We Were awarded the scholarship trophies at the annual Greek Week luncheon last November. If We win scholarship honors for the current sernester, we'll permanently retire the trophies. We won the second place trophy in the Sweetheart Sing contest. And for the Christmas seaso.n, our brothers escorted Gamma Phi Betas, ~.lnne:s of the sorority division of Sweetheart rng! In caroling for Iowa's governor and the Pre~rdent of Drake.

first place in scholarship at Toledo University. The "house" was the watchword of the summer and fall. Not only was the outside of the house completely painted, but many needed repairs were taken care of, thanks to Dean Harlow such as replacement of cracked sections of sid~walk and the repainting of some of the rooms. . Homecoming found the brothers active1y engaged in building t_heir ent_ry for the parade. Although the float drd not wm there were many comments of praise. The float involved a revolving T.U. football player which stood over a player of the opposing team. '~The ~appen ing" was the theme of Homecommg this year, so the players had flowers placed in thei~ teeth, while the skirts and bed were made of drfferent colored flowers in psychedelic patterns. T.U. won the game against Kent State that day and eventually the M.A.C. crown. At our Founders Day dinner we presented awards to brothers who had ~istinguished themselves in various areas durmg the past year: Deane Harlow, Outsta;'lding. Pledge; John Drake, Big Brother; Rich Lmdhuber, Best Senior and Best Brother.

BETA LAMBDA--TAMPA We started off the fall se~ester. with a j~int cancer drive with Delta Phr Epsilon sororrty, raising enough money to send over 500 mice a way for research. We are now almost 40-men s~r?r:g, and wh~n our fall and spring pledges are mrtrated we will have over 60 brothers. We can proudly say our house is the finest and biggest on campus_. Each semester som~ thing new is added. Rrght now Dave Mas Is constructing a paneled game room. E~ch room in our house is a different color, rangmg from Barnfire to Gateway Blue. February marks the date of our first scholarship award. This will be awarded to the fraternity man with the highest average on campus for that semester. It is called the Pi Kappa Phi Greek Scholarship Fund and amounts to $150.

BETA XI--CENTRAL MICHIGAN The best news from Beta Xi is our continued growth and improvement. This fall, 11 new men were initiated. Through the efforts of these new brothers. the foyer of our house has been r_emodeled. Antiquing and carpeting of the starrs ~nd gold wallpaper also have made excellent Improv.ements to the house. And, thanks to our Alu~m Housing Corporation, the bathroom wil,l be remodeled soon. Barry Vander Veen s father helped the chapter design and landscape shrubbery on our front lawn. . We are very happy to report that our alumm relations have been greatly improved due to the 21

efforts of Dennis Reinbolt. Activities have included a summer meeting, many football games with post-game reunions, and numerous newsletters. The fall Homecoming festivities were very busy for us. We sponsored Jean Winchell, a senior from Freeland, Mich., for queen. Other activities for this semester have included theme parties, such as the Hippy Happening and Mardi Gras; also hayrides, semi-formal dances and sorority mixers. At Thanksgiving we entertained the children of the Mount Pleasant State Home for Retarded Children. We also sponsored the third annual "Pi Kappa Phi Little 500" tricycle race, which was open to all CMU students and was covered by an area TV station. This fall we began a new practice : holding pledge initiation in the University Student Chapel, and the results proved most effective. Solemn funeral services were held during the mixer with the sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority for our pet chameleon, Gila Monster, acquired at last year's Mardi Gras in New Orleans by Charles Hombery, Don Wiley, and Bobby Poland. Beta Xi leaders on campus are Charles Hombery, Student Senate; Steve Thatcher and Ray Anspach, Student Courts; Jerry Collins, President of the Junior IFC. This winter we will again sponsor the CMU Winter Carnival under the direction of Bob Swartz and Dan Scott. BETA OMICRON-NORTHWESTERN STATE

We are steadily growing with a great rush this fall and we are stressing scholarship to the utmost, especially to our pledges. Study halls are held two or three times a week. We are planning on winning the all-fraternity scholarship award here at Northwestern. The Christmas Festival here in Natchitoches attracted some 75,000 spectators and Pi Kapps took a big part in spreading the Christmas spirit and our name by placing the biggest Christmas trees imaginable in the big New Women's Dorm and in two of the sorority houses. Another chance to spread Christmas a little further was our annual party for the children of the Vetstown students. The IFC has joined the local Jaycees. This gives our chapter an active part in the functioning of the city's projects. Maybe we can pledge the mayor. BETA TAU-VALDOSTA STATE

As a Master Chapter we have had to be on our toes. To our regular responsibilities we have added a few more. One of our extra duties comes to us in the form of two colonies within a 200 mile radius of Valdosta State. Our colony at Mercer University in Macon has already "matured" and is a well functioning group. Our newest colony at Georgia Southern College 22

in Statesboro is still in the growing stages, and we feel sure it will become one of our besl chapters. We take particular pride in this col· ony because we had met and talked with the boys before they affiliated. . Our Rose Queen, the National Rose of PI Kappa Phi, Carol McKinley, recently wa! elected president of Kappa Delta Sorority here at Valdosta State. Our formal rush will be helo the first week in February, under a new IFC deferred rush program, and we are looking for· ward to pledging some real sharp boys.

BETA UPSILON-VIRGINII rc Throughout its six years at the University of n

Virginia, Beta Upsilon has been known an.0 respected on the grounds for our unified spirJl and brotherhood. This year more than ever before our drive and enthusiasm have been chan· neled toward well defined goals. After an en· couraging 1966-'67 school year, including 8 fifth place finish (out of 31 houses) in scholar· ship ratings and a sixth place in intramuraJs, we are working for another year of balanced achievement in these areas. We made a good start toward another high ranking in intramurals with strong perforJl'l· ances in the two major fall sports, football and tennis. With a good showing in spring sports, we will place in the top ten again this year.. In the area of public service the chapter JS again supporting an orphaned child in South America and held a Christmas party for 20 needy children from the Charlottesville area· In the spring we'll help in the city's clean-UP campaign. Within the house we have undergone a mild reorganization under the direction of ArchOV Bill Couper. Committees dealing with eac~ house function have been reorganized in sucb a way that practically every brother is a meJl1· ber of one committee. We have also undertaken a re-evaluation of the financial operations off the chapter to insure the most efficient use o money available. The major long-range goal of the chapter iS construction of a new chapter house within the next several years, and we are now looking into the purchase of additional property. Tentative plans call for a $250,000 structure to house 40 brothers, complete with party room, librarl' and a study room. Fall rush was the most successful in the hiS· tory of the house, behind the drive of Rus~ Chairman Ken Oder and his committee. We pledged 22 fine men, including members of the football, soccer, and lacrosse teams, as well as two Echols Scholars. With a pledge class of thiS caliber the continued progress of Beta UpsiW is assured.

quarter in order to get to know each other better than the traditional signature-a-week routine had done. A little practice soon put the edge back on the golden sound of the singing brothers of Beta Psi as we welcomed our new Rose Queen Becky Wilhite of Knoxville. On her court are Priscilla Stone of Ringgold, Ga.; Marion Hyatt of Maryville ; Sharon Blakely of Kingsport ; and Janice Crye of Cleveland, Tenn. The Fall Safari, a retreat designed to help the brothers and pledges get to know each other better, provided a weekend of fun and brotherhood. Service projects, a traditional part of our chapter, have not been lacking this year. We stuffed 5,600 envelopes for the McMinn County Tuberculosis Association in their Christmas Seals Campaign, and the annual food drive, under the direction this year of Morgan Hotaling, netted 1,000 pounds of food. Archon Don Best, Steve Ownby, and Steve McArthur visited Chi Alpha Pi local at Middle Tennessee State University on a rushing trip. Our representatives on the Wesleyan IFC have been instrumental in drafting a proposal for open housing on weekends for the three fraternities on campus. If adopted and approved by the dean and president, it could mark a big step forward for the fraternity system at Wesleyan. Early January found our brothers and pledges in Gatlinburg for our annual planning retreat in the mountains. Committee meetings were mixed with good times for a successful retreat. BETA OMEGA--EAST TENNESSEE STATE

Beta Omega started off fall with a great rush. We pledged 22 of the sharpest men on campus, including president of the United Student Body. Also in our brotherhood is Charles N oe, vice president of the Student Body ; and Blake Williams, speaker of the House of Representatives. Included among our events last fall were Homecoming, parties, and good ole brotherhood. Fraternity football was a disaster, but we are looking forward to the rest of the sports calendar with confidence. Our three newest brothers are: John Boronkay of Ithaca, N. Y.; Ed Howard of Roanoke, Va.; and Dick Wright of Falls Church, Va. Sandra Lee Nunn is our Rose Queen. She has been a great benefit to our chapter with her bubbling personality and good looks. We recently formed an organization called Sisters of the Red Rose and are in the process of selecting girls to wear our pins. GAMMA ALPHA--LIVINGSTON STATE

Recently initiated brothers took a rewarding road trip from L.S.C. to the College of Charles23

ton and on the return trip visited other chapters along the way. Making the trip were Dennis Stephens, Freddy Fishburn, Gary Whidby, and Bill Roebuck. The whole chapter made a trip to Omicron in October to play them in a football game which they won 7-6. It was a highly competitive game that gave the two chapters a chance to become better acquainted in fraternal brotherhood. A high of 44 men were pledged before last quarter's second initiation. Our "community week" was a huge success. We collected toys for underprivileged children, painted public fences around the town, and decorated 12 community Christmas trees to aid in our relationships with the town. GAMMA BETA-OLD DOMINION COLLEGE

We began our scholastic year with much enthusiasm, due to the purchase of a new house during the summer. It is a two-story brick structure that is fully air conditioned, has an ideal library, a basement which is perfect for parties, a private parking lot, and other features. After a highly successful rush, we pledged 16 new men. The pledge class presented the chapter with a mascot--an Australian honeybear named Kappy-and everyone has become attached to the little fellow. Once again we are in the top echelon in scholastics and intramurals. Much emphasis is being placed on scholarship in order to better our second place ranking of last year. At the completion of football and tennis, we expect to gain a first place ranking in basketball. GAMMA DELTA-MEMPHIS STATE

The best thing that happened to our chapter was the acquisition of a new 12-room house. It has a very large lot with an asphalt parking lot. We picked up 36 pledges this semester in a record rush. They are an active and highly spirited group. Hut parties and bonfires have been the mainstays of our social calendar, and we have had open houses for alumni, neighbors and the sororities on campus. We now have a Sisters of the Red Rose composed of wives and sweethearts, and they are a great help to us. In sports, though we aren't the best, we've gained a reputation as a fighting team. Scholastically, we show promise for a much better overall grade point. GAMMA GAMMA-TROY STATE

We received our charter in 1966, and our membership has increased tremendously since then. We initiated 11 new brothers in September, and 11 more were initiated in December. Our Rose Ball will have a Valentine theme and will show off our new Rose Queen, Ginger 24

Creel of Pensacola, Fla., and an elementarl education major. She was selected to the Hornecoming Court and was Pledge Sweetheart Jas! spring quarter. The brothers and pledges have worked wei as a team in intramural sports. We came out on top in all sports for 1967 and many brotheri are active in varsity sports: Larry Christian football; David Walker, track; John Ensle!l· basketball; Buddy Tomaini, Steve Rogerd Mickey Parrish, John Jones, Jim Reeves, an Tim Jennings, wrestling. David Walker, Howard Fox, and Allen Lo~· ery are in the Sophomore Honor Society. Ed· ward Gibson is president of the Student BodY· Bob Wingard is president of the IFC, and the Student Senate is filled with our brothers. We have started a building fund for a ne'( house, and we are striving constantly to iJ!l· prove our chapter. GAMMA EPSILON-WESTERN CAROLJNI

"New Spirit '67," theme of our Homecoming, became our theme this year. We pledged 11 men last quarter, the largest pledge class on campus. We had a great turnout for the smoker and also at our preference party. It was something different this year-Jerry Conner made spaghetti for over 500 people. . Pi Kapps are having a productive year 1!1 student government. Charles Sutton is vic~ pre..c:;ident of Men's House Government. A 1'1 Kapp is business manager of our campus news· paper with three brothers and a pledge assisting on the staff. We are also represented by ~ number of brothers in the Student Senate.

ALUMNI CHAPTER ACTIVITIES Portland, Oregon Members of the Portland Alumni Chapter sponsored a train excursion to Seattle last fall to attend the Oregon State-Washington State football game. The visiting Portlanders were guests in Seattle of Dean Parker, Alpha Delta. Following the game the group was joined by Seattle alumni for an evening of fellowship. William D. Elliott, Alpha Zeta, organized the train trip. Portland Alpha Zeta alumni in record numbers returned for the Alpha Zeta Homecoming last fall at Oregon State University. More than 60 alumni and their wives were on hand for the events that began with a pregame luncheon at the Corvallis home of Ron Nelson, Alpha Zeta '55, program chairman. After the game, the Pi Kapp wives were entertained by Mrs. Richard Baxter at her home (Dick Baxter, Alpha Zeta '55, is in the Army in Vietnam), and the alumni toured the new newly-remodeled chapter house and conducted a brief business meeting. The Alpha Zeta Association spent $40,000 on extensive interior improvements to the 38-yearold chapter house.
