To the Editor, Star· and Lamp: Under ·graduates sometimes question the value of a national fr"aternity. They tend to think of the fmternity only in terms of their· own chapter· and see the National FTate?"?tity in teTms of bi-annual conventions and national dues. As an under·gmduate I often felt this way. Last summer· I had an exper·ience that for-ever proved to me the natur·e and value of a national frater·nity. I gr·aduated fr·om the University of Oregon last spTing and was offered a fob in Atlanta which I accepted. I had never· been to Georgia and had no /Tiends or acquaintances in Atlanta. I wr·ote to Durwa?"d Owen and asked him if he could find a brother· w ho could put me up for a f ew days until I found my way around. Less than a week later I received a letter· /Tom Brother Jim Piclcer·en offering me the hospitality of his home. I ar·rived in Atlanta on a swelter-ing July day by plane and Jim was at the air·port to meet me. I have never· shaken a more welcome hand than that of this stTanger w ho was also my brother·. Jim put me up for four· days, loaned me his caT to find a place to liv e, and even got me a date on the second night I was here. I shall always be grateful to Brother PiclceTen for· his hospitality and to the National Fmter·nity w hich makes such generous brother·s out of stTanger·s.

THE VITAL CHALLENGE OF OUR AGE ... ECOLOGY

•

and • to :r heir for just

By Kim Jepson, Past National President Qualified, respected scientists, many of whom are inclined towards understatement have been telling us for years that fantastic 'horrors lie ahead unless the rapidly progressing trend towards environmental deterioration is reversed. Already, the average American has 12 parts per million of DDT in his body ... and last year the government condemned millions of pounds of Great Lakes Coho as unfit for consumption because they had only 5 parts per million. By 1980, many urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution. In some U. S. city, thousands will die as a result of smog. Two-thirds of the waste capacity of the Great Lakes watershed (over 70% of the total fresh water in the U. S.) is in use. By 1980 it will aJI be used. Thousands of communities are already starved for pure water. Somewhere in this country in the eighties, a major ecological system will break down. In most communities waste disposal-from junked autos through household g·arbage as well as sewageis now a problem of serious proportions. I, reluctantly, am beginning to accept these dire predictions as probabilities. And from the increased clamor, a vast majority the populace is also having a similar awakening. In fact, "Pollution," "Environment," "Quality of Life," call it what you will, is becoming everybody's thing. Our media have taken it up. Our politicians are espousing it as their "cause." Social, economic, ethnic and community groups and regroupings are marching under its banners. Committees meet, coffees are held bull sessions run into the morning hours .. . statements are issued. All this is well and good. Providing this is not a fad, soon forgotten. Providing that we act as well as talk. Providing that we all recognize that r eversing environmental deterioration will take all of our life time and that of generations yet unborn. Ah, there is the basic cause . . . the disease itself ... the generations which have been born and those to come. Environmental deterioration is the symptom, population expansion the cause. Right now, the single most important desire of a vast majority of Americans, according to a recent survey, is for "living space." Those of us over 40 have no trouble remembering that a tremendous loss in living space has already occurred. We used to hunt all day in Michigan's northlands without seeing another hunter. We used to fish the Manistee or AuSable without tangling lines with another fisherman, a canoe or garbage in the stream. We used to breathe freely in Los Angeles. We could visit Yellowstone National

Park with<?ut waiting in line. We could drive, ize~ A~lanta WI~hout tra~c jams. We could get to ·The Mill Pond m ten mmutes (walking-who h3' t· car?) and swallow all the water our founderit ~ve produced without tremors or trots. h~~ So maybe there's too damn many people nPop . .. though we can sti~ l just bear to live 1( not each oth;r. Bu~ w~at of the future? of t Tod:ay s babies, If they can survive pollU~ age to their seventies, will know a world of 15 bill1dre In 650 years-the same insignificant period tl separates us from Dante-there would be ! it human being standing on every square foot chiT land on earth! .law RobertS.

Pi Kappa Phi is-as is every human group, be it club, community or country-made up of individuals. In essence, that's what this challenge is all about-the privilege of remaining an individual, and not a faceless statistic in a barely existing horde. But as individuals, we all too often feel that "this problem is too big. There's nothing I can do." And we sink back into easy lethargy . Jane Jacobs, an urbanologist, has said, "Solutions to practical problems almost always begin humbly." We, as humble individuals, can begin to solve our ecological problems if we think . then act. Perhaps but a few Pi Kapps will have the tremendous opportunity of working in the environmental sciences-dedicating their lives to a vocation that will improve our quality of life. All of us, however, can at least make this one of our avocations. It's important enough to make it our prime avocation for life ... but let's not kid ourselves. We'll find it pretty tough to honestly do more than pay lip service to anti-pollution and population control. It's tough to change habits. To carry the beer can back instead of throwing it overboard. To keep and use a litter bag in the car. To have leaves and trimmings hauled away for proper disposal instead of burning them. To leave picnic grounds or a campsite in better condition than we found them. It's tough to increase living costs. To vote for sewage and waste disposal systems that will increase taxes. To pay more for many products whose manufacturing costs have gone up because of anti-pollution expense. It's tough to express our convictions. To chide a friend, neighbor, or brother for polluting. To stand up in meeting and argue for the right way. To make manufacturers hear loud and clear that pollution will hurt their businesses. To tell our business associates that we must do it the clean way, not the cheap way. Mankind has that essential toughness. And I believe that Pi Kapps have an abundance of that toughness. We're tough enough to accept the fact that we are in a sinking boat. We can row for shore with one hand and bail like hell with the other . What each of us uses for a bailing can will vary. An exchange of ideas will encourage greater scope. Alumni and student Pi Kapps are encouraged to write the Star and Lamp your plans for personal involvement in the challenge of our age. we'll be pleased to publish your ideas, and the very effort of writing them down will serve to fix your determination. We can still put our environment back on the proper track. We can learn how. We can afford it -we can't not afford it. But we can only do it with dedication and courage. vVill you, individually, and as chapters, collectively, start acting now to meet the vital challenge of our age?

SUPREME CHAPTER ... WHO NEEDS

The 33rd Supreme Chapter will be convened in Chicago come August. It occurred to me that quite a few Pi Kapps haven't felt the need to attend a Supreme Chapter. 13,368, plus or minus 67, to be exact. I arrived at this figure by feeding into my mental computer (I know, I've heard, "Garbage In-Garbage Out" before) the probable-in accordance with the laws of probability-average attendance at each Supreme Chapter, multiplied by 32. Then I subtracted some because it's always more credible to understate. It seemed as though the square of the hypotenuse was needed in there somewhere, but this step was omitted. Anyway, this total was subtracted from our universe-all Pi Kapps-and we had it. 13,368, plus or minus, had never attended a Supreme Chapter. Of course, a few variables were left out, mos t particularly those great Pi Kapps that are repeaters. They attend many times, not just once. Obviously, they need the Supreme Chapter. Why? A number of brothers' first Supreme Chapter was coincidental with their honeymoons. Not being impertinent, we didn't ask if subsequent attendance had a rejuvenating effect. But generally speaking, they manage to make all sessions (except during their first "honeymoon" Supreme Chapter). One brother from upstate New York goes regularly because he believes the 505 Club would wither away if he were not present to tendcorrection, preside. It probably would. One great Pi Kapp has been a regular for years to keep his eagle eye on our finances. Thank God he has. One brother uses the Supreme Chapter in lieu of a medical check-up on his vital forces . If he can stay up all night, outlasting any and all stu-

dent brothers he encounters and can still fU tion alertly in sessions, he's ~till hale and bell1 He is. Two dedicated brothers have made a babil celebrating their birthdays at Supreme Chaptt While this may indicate a deplorable lack of c fidence in the memories of their wives, the! no denying they enjoy a big party. .. Many brothers attend repeatedly because 1t good compromise between showing their faJ11 1 the country and having a good time themsel' One brother can nowhere else enjoy the lU in his throat that comes when the brothers ~ the Sweetheart Song to the Rose and Vl'1 present, or the tingle that comes from a stan~ rendition of Dixie and The Battle Hymn of Republic! This list of particular and peculiar reas could be expanded-but a taste is enougll savor the flavor. Of course, the Supreme Chapter has a purr which is to conduct the business that guidf great fraternity to even greater heights. It r ducts this business well and ceremoniously, : just participating makes a guy feel good.

ARE WE HEADED FOR MORE COLLECTIVISM?

~~~ . 011

THE SUBJECT. This dialogue was based on the general question, "Evolution Towards Collectivism?". It was P son out that DeTorqueville once stated that our society is becoming a myriad of networks; suffused with complicated rt1 it i· and regulations set down by a central authority. These rules, he suggested, are so complex and detailed that e~e1• Ci ' most original of minds cannot break through. He furtherpostulates that these guidelines on living govern indJV1 S l behavior patterns and stifle initiative. hl01

lar!l

With this in mind, the participants addressed themselves to specific questions, as follows.

I. AS STUDENTS, WOULD YOU AGREE THAT OUR SOCIETY IS APPROACHING COLLECTIVISM AS A NATURAL WAY OF LIFE?

Richard Swift: I think that, for the most part, the trend in the past two decades or so has been a collectivistic one. This is evidenced in part by the trend towards "bigness" as characterized by our sprawling suburbs, huge universities, etc. People feel the need to belong-to have something to identify with that is bigger than themselves-something beyond the individual. This provides security. And this is natural. Don Harris: Right. Collectivism is becoming a natural way of life as rapidly as the population rises. There is a direct relation between the number of people in a society and the amount of organization necessary to see that things run smoothly.

Scott Ross: Yes, but our nation was creP R under a system of free enterprise which it 1co~] not give up readily unless forced to do so. }lf.on government has set up many programs 'W Ive might be thought of as a step towards colleciBur ism, but actually, it is more of a compromise· Peol and Clark Reisinger: I don't think of it as a C1den· promise. Man has always sought an easier ~opp, to do things and a more comfortable manner which to live. Because of this desire, our go"~vi:· ment has attempted to satisfy our wants bY ta 1 ing on an increasing number of collective asP~socl which tend to relieve much individual bUl' gi tn These tendencies have not been of a nature -w!JdoVE would retard thought. On the contrary, massrn w terpolation of ideas through collectivism Jore: opened up new areas of thought in every fie! A I human interest, from technology with its p}l. 1 cal nature to the abstract study of philosoP C Therefore, although our society has takel1corn certain characteristics of collectivism, ;!3Y thought processes are not being retarded, !las rather stimulated by the new areas of inteftsob being discovered. nific

Larry Brown: Anyone can agree to that by simply looking around their neighborhood or business communities. This way of life, I believe, is not one that has been rushed past the American public as a panacea for "get-rich-quickness," but has edged its way in because of many factors that have led to personal and economic failure in our ever-increasing populatory society. Small, individually owned businesses must merge in order to keep up with the demands of a merging public; universities must enlarge and incorporate various schools in order to handle the expanding number of individuals who now ask for and deserve higher education. Political and state authorities must also work together in controlling

Louis Polito: Agreed that our society is in~'~i~t approaching collectivism as a natural way of eer~ but unfortunately, collectivism can go too hav, When things begin .to get too big, we must bll'voic to examine our soCiety more closely. Bigness

The student is definitely depersonalized and thought of as a number by the administration of a large university. However, the idea of personalization of a student is hardly as important as the quality of education he receives. The route to individuality is influence and influence is obtained through education. Citizens can tear away from being one of a hundred million tax-payers by getting a higher education. Large universities offer this chance to more people. Larry Brown: It's true that because of this trend towards bigness, the individual can no longer choose to become a blacksmith or a tailor, or choose any other small, individualistic endeavor if he has hopes of being financially successful. But I believe this "if" is a big one, for because of the nature of the American as an individual, those who do wish to follow such work can be considered successful. Anyone who has hopes of accomplishing a feat, whatever it may be, and does so, should be considered successful. The American is too independent to allow a total upb.eaval of his ideas and goals by meglomania. He is determined to be happy and content, whether it be in a corporation of 5000 men or sitting behind a sewing machine in a 6 x 6 room. As for the student, I believe that the same argument holds for him. He is, of course, faced with the threat of meglomania for when he reaches college he becomes a number, and in class he becomes a seat and a graded paper. But the successful student is one who can overcome his number complex and make a name for himself in any number of fields, be it social, political, athletic, or scholastic. Through hard work, the individuality of a student can once again be brought out, and those who accomplish this rerevelation are those who can go on and continue their individuality in their bu siness and social world as an adult. III. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF THESE TRENDS ON OUR STUDENT SOCIAL AND ECON OMIC STRUCTURE?

Don Harris: In a society where bigness sometimes stifles interpersonal relationships, the student is more or less on his own as to decisions regarding his social and economic well being. He must show independence or accept second-best. Louis Polito: That's true. And add to independence, resentment and confusion. The student comes to a university seeking more than an education. Since he is usually more economically independent than his predecessors at the university, the student has a freer social life. The more the student resents the Establishment, the more he will rebel both socially and economically. He does this by growing his hair long, dressing completely different than his parents, and sometimes, by turning to drugs. The biggest single reason for this is that the student finds it more and more difficult to relate to a system which he cannot understand. · 9

Richard Swift: Well, I think that most students are more aware of this problem than most people. And in their own clumsy way, have tried to do something about it. As I mentioned earlier, the problem is basically one of working with too big a package. The reactions that the student experiences in trying to work with something too big and too overwhelming are the same as those which most people experience. They, too, are tempted to lash out. And they do. Larry Brown: Yes, but if a student lacks social fortitude and a financial strength to carry him out of his state of meglomania, he should by no means give up hope of saving his individuality. As I said before, there are too many areas in which a person can be successful, and the choice of which road he plans to follow is up to his liking and to his abilities. Athletics, scholastics, philanthropic endeavors, politics, etc., offer numerous positions in which one can find personal gratification and accomplishment, and when such a position is found, usually the person's success is rewarded by acknowledgment by the masses. It is a pity, however, that so many individuals try to attain success in fields which are not suited to their abilities. It is this type of person that will let this creeping meglomania ruin him, for by trying to follow the footsteps of others who are more suited for a certain position than he is, he will strangle himself socially and drown himself financially. Clark Reisinger: I can't agree with most of you. To the student, this situation is a boon. Not only is he enabled to raise his standard of living by obtaining a superior education, but his stay at the university is made a much pleasanter one. A large institution, due to the size of its enrollment, is typically 100 % less expensive. In addition to this, the social activities are mushroomed with the size of the university. There is a much better chance for good dates with eight thousand girls than with four hundred and a far greater probability of finding people you really like to live with among twenty-eight fraternities th an with five. IV. THE PRESENT STRUCTURE PROVIDES FEDERAL BOARDS TO MEDIATE, SUPERVISE, AND CONTROL MANY ASPECTS OF AMERICAN LIFE. WORKING CONDITIONS, LABOR-MANAGEMENT DISPUTES, MODES OF TRAVEL, AND THE GENERAL HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY FALL UNDER THIS CATEGORY. WHA.T IS THE STUDENT'S REACTION TO THIS SITUATION?

But I see this trend as an indic8due that private enterprise is not shoulderinHoo share of the responsibilities on determining ''thro is good for society's citizens-thus governnfor i steps in. If tl wou Scott Ross: The old system of laissez felse. often meant the worker's rights were ab 0 Something was needed to control this. The !.c CJ ernment had good intentions but not entuar ; care was used in organizing many of itS )111en grams. Millions, if not billions of dollars rren wasted each year. Although intentions are g eve efficiency is outrageous. say can Larry Brown: I believe that this "overseeidnftu although much improvement is needed, is Pt no.' ably the best answer to the problems at )I 0 ll There has to be a central governing body of n, individual business fields would murder \ride other. Laws must be set down for the corPernr tions and individual fields to follow that rnat, allow for their greatest success while at regt; same time giving each a chance to develoP it w be creative in their own field. I believe, h0\1~1 that the government is often too narrow-Jlllf Lt to realize the . proble~s faced ~Y each are-"5hont commerce, and sometimes sacrifices the acl'3 Ot plishments of one in order to enhance thosto t another, leading to an overall standstill, if ~~ah~ loss, in progress. An example of this is the hliW 11 publicized controversy over pollution. The ~ble ernment continually talks about reduction o~ lVe~ lution in our cities and farm lands, yet contlf L· to permit new paper mills on our waterwaY{~on; new factories in the cities, the success 0 rhat latter enhancing the creation of the fol' ;y 8 t 1 What needs to be done, I believe, is to se2Usi 1 governing committees for each area of comn Jest made up of only those individuals from thad ~ver who realize both the needs of that field an ng its affect on other areas of business. These r10 t' mittees could then discuss the best arrange~!d for overall success in our commercial world't;h~ in such a way as to benefit the total populll >ur

Richard Swift: In general, I think it an unhealthy situation. The country has come to rely on the government for just about everything. And that reliance has paved the way for more and more federal supervision and control. More rules, more regulations, more bureaucracy. This stifles individual initiative and seeks to minimize the responsibility each of us has to individually better the conditions around us and improve our

Without 1 quate fair-trade controls on book stores st~d~0R could be robbed by outrageous pricing.

Clark Reisinger: Yes, but hopefully, the individual person's opinion will be taken into account when a decision affecting everyone's life is being made. I think it is a good thing that people are beginning to question government policy, both at home and abroad. Unfortunately, I cannot foresee any change taking place in our society's structure. As long as a small group of elite are permitted to make decisions that affect the lives of every American, without taking into account the opinions of these people, nothing will be changed. Scott Ross: I don't agree. More and more people are becoming dissatisfied as a result of these trends. They come right out and say it, making more people aware of what's going on. I think the public will take so much and then demand reform against inflation, pollution or whatever. The public is at this stage now. Dissatisfaction with the war, poverty, etc., is just a start. Richard Swift: I think that we can expect a deeper polarization between our two major political parties. As the effects of this trend become more pronounced, the two parties are going to become more divided as to the solutions each proposes to meet the demands of the situation. But this occurs whenever the country is confronted with a crisis. It stimulates discussion and has the effect of making people think more about the crisis and the problems involved in solving 'it. VII. WHAT WILL OUR SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE BE LIKE IN 1990?

Don Harris: 1990 will be as confused and restricting as it is at the present, only multiplied by a factor equivalent to the corresponding population increase. Scott Ross: I read today that if inflation continues at its present rate by 1990 the value of the dollar will be half what it is now. A trend is hard to stop once it has gathered momentum. I think these trends will be much the same as they are today at the dawn of the space age only bigger, much bigger. Louis Polito: A lot can happen in twenty years, but I don't think things will be changed. The reason that I think that no major change will occur in our society's structure is that those who press for great changes are neither numerous enough or sincere enough to enable their ideas to gain acceptance. These radicals will either be swallowed up by or destroyed by the system; in any case, they will never be heard from again. Clark Reisinger: Improved communication techniques will insure better government due to better informed citizens. More individuality will exist because people will be knowing more of what is going on around them and thus be better able to take part in their society. 11

ALPHA-COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Alpha of Pi Kappa Phi has embarked on a new decade with a renewed interest in community and college contribution. The brothers of your founding chapter are continuing to work as a fraternity at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium in order that the community building might have a high quality corps of ushers. Alpha has just agreed to provide refreshment stands during South Carolina's Tricentenial observance in Charleston in the first week of April. We invite all brothers to attend this week and to see the birthplace of our Fraternity. With Spring elections fast approaching, Alpha will again field a strong slate of candidates for the Student Government Association Executive offices. Noel Fuller, a past Archon, is the outgoing President of the Student Body. The College of Charleston basketball team had a fine season with six foot seven inch senior Paul Hendrix and six foot three inch Bob Powers contributing heavily. In regular season play the Maroons posted a 10-4 record to win the Dixie Conference to the cheers of almost total Pi Kapp support. However, due to an obscure ineligible player rule, the College had to forfeit many of their second semester games and wound up seventh. This action by the conference was especially unfortunate as neither of the Pi Kapps were involved and indeed none of the players were responsible. BETA-PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is indeed having one of its most successful years. First semester we were Number 1 on campus in grade point average with a 2.614. This is quite an accomplishment for us as we were last on campus just two semesters ago. We also have seven brothers on the Dean's list. On February 20, Beta Chapter initiated 19 pledges. Of these 19, four were seniors fro'm Kappa Phi Colony at Augusta College. This brings our total number of brothers up to 47. The brothers wish to thank all the alumni who gave us contributions to help us buy new ritual equipment. However, we still need some more money to finish buying the complete set of ritual equipment. On February 28, 6 of our brothers went over to Kappa Phi Colony at Lander College to initiate the Chapter. They were assisted by the brothers of Zeta Chapter. This was an event that they will always remember. Beta Chapter is beginning a housing fund to build a new house in approximately a year. Brothers, do you I'emember how badly you wanted a house when you were at P. C.? Now is your chance to help us by sendin g in your contributions!

EPSILON-DAVIDSON Rush marked the beginning of 1970 for Epsilon Chapter with thirteen "Lucky" freshmen choosing the Pi Kapp way.

Our average is above the all men's average, as well as above the all fraternity average. As usual, the Pi Kapps at Georgia are strong contenders in all intramural activities. Although we are not leading the league this year as we have for the past two years, we are looking forward to the spring quarter sports, where we are traditionally strong. And, of course, work is continuing for the new house that the brothers are determined to get. Last spring each brother donated $100 for Lambda Housing Bonds . This money amounted to $10,000. Lambda Chapter is very proud of this achievement, which is indicative of the spirit of the Pi Kapps at Georgia.

MU-DUKE UNIVERSITY On the evening of February 25, 1970 the brothers of Mu Chapter were addressed at a dinner by Dr. Peter Klopfer on the problems of overpopulation and environmental pollution. Dr. Klopfer, who earned the Ph.D. degree from Yale and is now a highly respected ecologistzoologist at Duke, was quite thought provoking, but, because of his subject, certainly distressing. The problems of pollution and overpopulation are genuine and must be recognized and confronted immediately. To ignore them is to make human misery and degradation inevitable in future generations . Thus, I urge the readers of "The Star and Lamp" to educate themselves with respect to th ese urgent environmental problems. It is up to every man to do his share in attacking these problems which endanger the health and the very lives of our generation and those which, hopefully, will follow. Mu Chapter is also concerned with aspects of the University outside of the academic areas. After an undefeated season, the intramural basketball team of Mu Chapter will participate in the University Tournament. We expect to walk away with the trophy.

At our annual Bon Voyage party a brother and his date won an all-expense paid trip to Miami for the week~nd. And our little sister program has given u s a means of showing our girls that they are something special. NO-UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA Nu Chapter has, in this second semester, been mostly concerned with Rush. Our goal is a 10 man second semester pledge class and we feel that with a continued effort we can achieve this. We gained what we are sure will be a major improvement to the fraternity system as well as to Nu Chapter with the passage of "wildcat rush" here. The system had been outlawed for a year because of pressure from the "big" houses that didn't participate in wildcat. Now we can contact and pledge men from July 15 to August 15. This will help to get more men interested in the Greek system and also help us to stop wasting time with men who are already committed but had to go through rush week anyhow. Our alumni relations are also being helped by a oncea-month lunch with members of the alumni corporation . Any of the brothers who can make it attends and it gives the alums a chance to find out what is going on in the chapter and the brothers a chance to meet these men. We feel that with continued efforts along the lines of rush and alumni relations we will be able to make very good gains this year and to have these gains continue through next fall. XI-ROANOKE COLLEGE Since January Xi has been extremely active with rush . Our efforts we1·e greatly rewarded when we pledged eighteen men on February 27th. We initiated several fund raising enterprises which were incorporated in our rush activities.

We cooked over ten gallons of pancake batter-what a meal! But Xi's biggest and most attractive 1·ush function was our Playboy raffle and automobile contest.

Hinely was a staff Photographer. A large group of Rho men, including brothers Carrere, Christovich, Wyndham, and Angrisani, have been involved in the Troubador Theatre productions. Off campus and in the local community, Rho participated in two important activities. The first of these was the annual Christmas party for under-privileged children, which proved to be equally as enjoyable and gratifying for the brothers as it was for the children. Also, Rho participated in the annual heart fund drive by collecting donations from local residents. For the future, one important step is first and foremost in our minds: the extensive renovations of the chapter house planned for this summer. Although the exact nature of the renovations is not yet certain, it will definitely include a complete remodeling of the kitchen. After that, tentative plans call for repairs to the walls, plumbing, wiring, and any other areas in need of repair. It has already been an active year for Rho, and, with a continual eye ahead, we look to an even more dynamic future. TAU-NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY Tau Chapter enjoyed a very successful rush for the spring semester. As a result of our efforts, we now have twenty pledges, the largest pledge class in many years for Tau. The rush program was well organized and run by our rush chairmen, Stephen Bair and Stephen Procter. Rush week was highlighted by a Casino night. After revamping our pledge scholarship program, our pledges were ranked third out of seventeen fraternities on campus. This surge in emphasis placed on Scholarship also effected the Brotherhood. Our Brotherhood is now ranked fourth out of seventeen fraternities. We wish to welcome the "rookie" brothers in our house: Charlie Fore, Jack Garrett, John Lawing, Hunt McKinnon, and Eddie Woods. After going a semester without an advisor, we are proud to announce our new advisor to be, Brother Tom Saieed. Brother Saieed, an initiate of our Chapter, is employed by Ezra-Meyer of Raleigh as an engineer. Tau has been actively seeking the help of Alumni. To accomplish this the Alumni have formed a Housing Corporation. We hope that this will be very successful and beneficial. UPSILON-UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Upsilon Chapter held its second annual chapter retreat at Hott Memorial Center on February 14-15. The chapter retreat was first organized last year, and its success in initiating new programs and promoting understanding between the brothers in the house was so great thai we at Upsilon have hopes -of continuing this event every year. Headed by Archon Warren Miller, the topics of discussion this year were Rush, Alumni Relations, the Future 21

ALl of Upsilon, Pledge Education, and Scholarship. Just before our retreat Upsilon was considering making certain changes in its pledge program. The retreat provided a good chance to talk out different views, and we finally came out with a pledge program which has eliminated any form of hazing and hell-week in the hopes of promoting a truer brotherhood between actives and pledges. Frank Giampoli, Upsilon's rush chairman, discussed techniques and plans for several rush functions. Informally. we have held several rush parties since the retreat, and we have pledged three new men. We are scheduling several high school week-ends to get rushees for formal rush. The scholarship committee originated several new awards and has posted house grade-points and rank in a conspicuous spot in an effort to motivate studying ancl improve grades which are an important rush point. Finally, we are hoping to start an alumni visitation program, and we have made plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our founding concurrently with o u r Spring Rose Ball. It is our sincere hope that we can get a large alumni turnout for this occasion. We hope that all the ideas brought out at our retreat will be carried out with the same degree of success as those from last year's retreat.

ALPHA ALPHA-MERCER UNIVERSITY The brothers of Alpha Alpha dedicated our new lodge on February 15, 1970. Members of the Fraternity from throughout the Georgia area as well as various other fraternal organizations on campus attended the event. The chapter was especially honored by a visit from President Charles Tom Henderson. Also in attendance was Mr. Chuck Cummings, our National Field Secretary.

ALPHA DELTA-UNIVERSITY OF WASHING'fO; ~ea~ One of the highlights of winter quarter for ;.

THE

CHI-STETSON UNIVERSITY Chi Chapter enters the last portion of the school year with nine new initiates and a sounder financial situation . Our most recent brothers are Herman Heinle, Deland; Jim Ross, Miami; Tom O'Keefe, Deland; Frank Scruggs, Ft. Lauderdale: Neuth Morris, Maryland; Bruce Gradv, Ft. Myers: William Ayala, Tampa; Chobee Ebbets, Miami; and Tom McMasters, Tallahassee. A loan from Chi Housing Corporation has permitted the purchase of new lounge furniture. This add ition has improved the House interior immensely. We wish to recognize Mr. Jack Inman of Orlando, Fla., who has just become President of the Stetson Alumni organization. Also a special thanks for our Alums who stopped by for our Homecoming supper. It was a beneficial experience for all. The Big Blue is third place in the Presidents Cup standing with an excellent chance to assume first after track and swimming. Stetson's basketball team, after a fine 20-6 season, was the recent victor in the NCAA regional tournament and is now headed for Evansville and a possible championship. Starter Derrell Boone. from Chi Chapter, is the leading rebounder and second leading scorer. Sophomores Jim Orr and Steve Sterling are two other brothers who add to the depth of this years Hatters. Derrell is also to be congratulated for his selection as Homecoming King. Archon Mike Loftin was in attendance at the District 6 conclave at the University of Florida. Mike reported that the exchange of ideas was most rewarding. In particular, it has become his desire and the Chapters to install a little sister program similar to those at larger universities. PSI-CORNELL UNIVERSITY For three weeks, Cornell's I.F.C. sponsored a forum on the Cornell campus. The topic for this was "The University and Society." During the period, there were seven discussion sections. Much of the concern can probably correctly be interpreted as a reaction to the trouble here at Cornell l~st spring. It is now commonplace for students to question every aspect of this large, complex, and influential university. We all hope that through such projects our education may be expanded and supplemented.

1970

Montevallo, in their rush effol'ts. This group of 17 men worked to get 20 people interested in pledging and wound up with some 50 to 60 interested rushees. On the homefront, the matter at hand was the annual Step Sing competition. This year the theme was "The Old South," and the program consisted of "I'm Alabamy Bound," "Swanee," which featured ten members on the old soft shoe, "Georgia on My Mind " "Tara's Theme " "Dixie" and as a finale, "The Batt!~ Hymn of the R~ public." The set was that of the veranda of an old Southern plantation, and the entire show brought thunderous applause and the number one spot in the fraternity division. One of the high spots of the evening was the announcement that Brother Joe Howell of Mobile was voted the "Friendliest Male Student" on the Samford Campus. Step Sing was a very rewarding experience and a time for each of us to relate our feelings for Pi Kappa Phi and the world we live in to some 2500 people in Siebert Hall. A most significant part of the program was the nan·ation which quoted Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: "Let us resolve that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, so that the American way of life shall not perish from this earth." It is not only our hope that the remainder of 1970 will be a prosperous one for Pi Kappa Phi, but through our efforts and through the efforts of those around us that our nation and the nations around the world might live in peace once again. ALPHA IOTA-AUBURN UNIVERSITY We at Alpha Iota feel we have had quite a constructive w inter quarter. The quarter began with the initiating of fourteen brothers and thirteen little sisters. Winter Rush, under t h e direction of Rush Chairman David Simpson, was extremely successful. Planning began on the forming of a Mother's Club for the undergraduate's mother. Three outstanding Pi Kapp graduates in the Auburn area have formed an Advisory Committee for our chapter. The members are: Colonel K. G. Taylor, Alpha Iota 106, who is our chapter advisor; D. H. Denholm, Alpha Mu 203, who helps in the area of finances; and R. W. Thornton, Alpha Nu 96, who works with the pledges. The Committee's advice to and criticism of Alpha Iota has proved invaluable. ALPHA OMICRON-IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY Probably the single most talked about subject at Alpha Omicron is the emergence of new plans for an extensive remodeling of the chapter house at 407 Welch. The plans were drawn up by Brother Dennis Forsythe, Arch. 5. It was Denny's intention to expand the living capacity as much as was possible on our limited budget. The new plans now call for remodeling our three annexes and building a new dining room and house mother quarters and then constructing a common corridor to connect the three smaller houses with the main house. Denny feels the plans will work out quite well in that they offer a !]lore diversified style of living. There is the traditional fraternity living in the main house and in the other three living areas there is offered a more individual apartment style living. We feel this is definitely going to be a plus for us during next year's rush parties. As it stands now, however, our only problem is in financing but our Building Corporation is now negotiating with several banks and the outcome should be known shortly. ALPHA SIGMA-UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE Alpha Sigma Chapter could tell you in this issue of the Star and Lamp of a ll the activities in which we participated. We could tell you of our accomplishments in intramurals, scholarship and community relations, but we are not really sure what, if anything, we accomplished. As you read the above statement you probably think this is quite paradoxical-that we say we have accomplishments, but yet we say we have no accomplishments.

Lo What we have obtained this quarter at Alpha Sigma are some trophies, and some pieces of paper which are not worth the materials of which they are made. We say this because in obtaining these material goals we lost sight of our true objectives. These objectives are to become an ideal chapter with an ideal brotherhood. We obtained these material goals through the work of a few people and not through the unified action of our chapter. So you see, we have a few golden calves to worship, but have gotten no closer to becoming an ideal chapter. This is where our paradox lies. We are beginning to realize at Alpha Sigma that although the ideal is hard to see and even more difficult to obtain, we in our activities next quarter through our unified effort are going to take a giant step in becoming a working brotherhood working for an ideal. RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE After the heavy snowstorm in December the Brothe1·s helped a neighborhood school shovel out its parking lot and sidewalks so that school could be held the next day. The Brothers also helped a local dentist shovel his lot. The fraternity won first place in the I.F.C. icicle contest. The icicle that won hung from the roof of the house to the ground and measured about 40 feet long and 4 feet thick. The Brothers have just finished a big weekend "Saturnalia." The 5th Dimension, the cocktail party and the band party all complemented the weekend. The pledges have been very busy around here fixing and cleaning and the Brothers are getting in shape for Help Week. ALPHA UPSILON-DREXEL UNIVERSITY Alpha Upsilon finished the year with a smashing success. Our 35th annual show, "Out of This World," exposed today's air and land pollution problems in a manner pleasing to everyone. The efforts of the brothers provided a very worthwhile production. In October, Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation added a fifteen-unit apartment house to its properties. The purchase of the next door apartment building was the result of two years planning and negotiations by our Alumni. Immediate plans are to continue operating the apartment in the usual tenant manner, though we are encouraging newly married brothers to live next door. However, long range plans call for both the chapter house and the apartment building to be torn down and a new chapter house built covering both lots. No date has been set. Our rush yielded the largest pledge class in seven years. However, not so important is the quantity as the quality of our neophytes. We have thirty-four men all with the qualities necessary to become Pi Kapps. Directed by our Warden, Jim Miller, a new pledge program was developed and is being implemented. The brothers are attempting to rid the pledging period of unnecessary harassment and hazing, and devote all efforts to educating the pledges on the meaning and responsibilities that brotherhood offers. Both brothers and pledges are finding the new policy very rewarding. The word is basketball. Our courtmen have continued their reputation as the "team to beat." Going undefeated for two straight years, the Pi Kapps secured their second consecutive championship. With the loss of only two seniors on the team, prospects for 1971 look even stronger. We are proud to announce that we are no longer the Alpha Upsilon Chapter at Drexel Institute of Technology. On February 27, 1970, we officially became Alpha Upsilon at Drexel University. Our new ~am~ goes along with the many improved changes both m size and curriculum at Drexel. ALPHA PHIILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY With the start of a new semester, Alpha Phi also has several new starts: namely, new officers and eleven new initiates. This year's pledge class had the second highest

G.P.A. on the Quad, which may indicate scholarship here for some time to come. The neW , .. · are Rick Veras, Archon; Larry Silkaitis, Trea: Scott Corson Secretary· Larry Chase Warden, ( Clark, Historian; Paul Pelkola, Chaplain; Briand han, House Manager; John Cummins, Steward; an Brot Wendorf, Social Chairman. t ~'uci Recently, some of the brothers have also r~cl honors: Ken Miner was selected to appear in Who s LP In American Colleges and Universities; "G" Va~i Al was elected I.F.C.

Presently, eight of the bl. :n t~ are volunteering their services as tutors for undeif~·r 0111 leged high school students who want to go to c~Jents The chapter recently received a plaque for its r''besl •0 r ,, collecting money for the National Association tarded Children.

The only positive suggestion we received was that of a new image. We have a new image, individualism. But individualism can exceed its boundaries, and when this happens, brotherhood is replaced by apathy and sooner or later the fraternity has lost a once good chapter. Our chapter will continue with these discussions. It gives us an opportunity to convey our message to the freshmen and it gives them a first hand experience in dealing with a fraternity. BETA ALPHANEWARK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Six neophytes have recently entered the realm of Pi Kappa Phi. These new brothers are Lenny Jacques (Roselle Park), Jimmy Krucher (Clifton), Steve Camiorie (Union City), Bruce Mazurkawitz (So. Plainfield), and the Hoboken boys, Gregory Ploussas and Nick De Nichilio. The new Executive Council "Meola's Monkeys" which has succeeded the "Chicken Court" are: Angelo Meola, Archon; John Spigel, Treasurer; Tom Craven, Secretary; Frank Czysz, Warden; Steve De Palma, Historian; John Stropnicky, Chaplain; Don Van Houten, House Manager; and Ted Cassera, Social Director. We are confident this new leadership can appropriately serve the chapter faithfu lly as those previously have . Missing the basketball championship by a total of ten points in two games, Beta Alpha was a victim of fierce competition in I.F.C. Basketball. However, the team is young with only Brothers Stiles and Bigos leaving and therefore we expect the team to improve its third place finish next year. Beta Alpha has held a place in School Activities this past year. Brother Forman is the Editor-in-Chief of the "Vector" (college newspaper), Chuck is also listed in Who's Who and a member of Omicron Delta Kappa. Brother Chomiak served the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as President and has received its Distinguished Member Award for the year 1969-70, Russ is listed in Who's Who and a Student Senator at Large. Brothers Miller and Zengota are Treasurer and Secretary of the A.S.M.E., respectively. Brother De Luca i11 Secretary of the Operating Board. Brother Bigos is Secretary of Chi Epsilon (Civil Engineering Honor Fraternity). Brother Bruno represented our I.F.C. at the 1969 N.I.C. Convention, held in Chicago. Brother De Palma is the Student Senate Representative for the Class of '72. And Brother Cassera is the Treasurer of the Class of '72. Our March 6 Friday Night Party was honored with the presence of Alumni "Mooooooney," Derby, and wives. Later that evening Area Governor AI Brown stepped in and showed his talents by beating the dynamic duo in a fierce game of darts. This semester's Social Service Pl·oject included the painting of the Rectory at St. Rocco's Church in Newark. Father Nikas expressed his appreciation with a formal invitation back to the Church and Rectory at any time. BETA BETA-FLORIDA SOUTHERN Beta Beta Chapter had a very successful spring rush and gained eight new pledges. Two men were initiated, one in October and one in January. .Chapter Executive Council for this semester is Ray Sandhager, Archon; Rick Davis, Treasm·er; John Burt, Secretary; Dick Metcher, Warden; Steve Witherspoon, Historian; Angelo Nesta, Chaplain; and Pat Harris, Pledgemaster. We were very pleased with the success of last December's annual Alumni Banquet at near-by Lakeland Yacht Club. Many a lumni and their wives, along with the undergraduate brothers, were honored to listen to National Chaplain Elmer Jost as guest speaker. He presented a truly stimulating and informative speech. All who attended enjoyed renewing old friendships, and we hope the alumni will return and visit us soon. Brothers Norman L. Ross and John M. Thompson will go on with their studies at medical schools.

Brothers and pledges of Beta Beta once again worked hard and participated in the annual Greek Week activiti es during the last week of February. BETA DELTA-DRAKE UNIVERSITY The men of Beta Delta Chapter a1·e proud to welcome into the brotherhood four new initiates.

Beta Deltans also pledged six fine men: Kim Hageman , Barrington, Illinois; Bob Wendt, North Point, New York; Brian Hogan, Des Moines, Iowa; Scott Prentiss, Chicago, Illinois; John Torbett, St. Louis, Missouri ; and Stephen Smith, Singapore, Singapore. To aid in chapter rush and social functions, the Drake Chapter has chosen Joy Gendron, Cynthia Nahas, Sharon Marquart, and Darrell Simpson as the first Little Sisters of the Star and Lamp. Their help, since the inception of the program, has already proved invaluable. The youngest, and perhaps most popular addition to Beta Delta Chapter, is Rebel, a 3-month-old LabradorSt. Bernard. His presence is heard by his barking, felt by his sharp teeth, and seen-everywhere ! ! ! The main focus for the chapter at this time is rush, for we must recover from membership setbacks incurred throughout the year. There is spirit and determination behind us. We have dedicated ourselves to success. BETA ETA-FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY The chapter was deeply saddened by the untimely death of alumnus Jim Myres '66. Brother Myres was struck down by a drunken driver while returning f1·om leave from the Army. The Pi Kapps finished fourth in grades for the fall quarter and first overall amongst the major fraternities on campus. We are now officially the largest fraternity at Florida State University. Architect's renderings for the new house have been completed and approved. As things now stand the old house will be torn down in June and our new house wi ll be completed by next January or February. Fifteen brothers were initiated in February from the fall pledge class. They went to New Orleans during Mardi Gras weekend as part of their pledge activities. BETA IOTA-UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO Beta Iota has been ·running at a hectic pace in recent months, as per normal. The J A's have nearly completed their remodeling of our kitchen and are working on a project for buying a new pool table. The chapter placed first in fraternity scholarship with a 2.52. point average for the fall quarter. Our alumni defeated the active chapter in basketball by a score of 74-40 (alumnus John Kalmbach pumped in 41 points). The chapter has just taken second place in

He was recently invited to join a group of scientists to view the solar eclipse on March 7. Beta Mu would also like to congratulate •B rother Ted Pool for his contribution to the M.S.C. relay team. Ted, along with being a member of the record-breaking relay team, is a sprinter. The relay team has been M.S.C.'s one bright spot in athletics this year. They have already set several school and meet record s, and it is still early in the season. BETA XI-CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY The Brothers of Beta Xi have been busy all semester, and with Rush as our primary goal, we took 16 great new pledges. Our chapter is the largest in Area IX. We have 52 active and associate brothers, 16 new pledges, a total of 68 members. Although Rush was our primary goal our plans for the future as well as some highlights from last fall are bringing our chapter to busier times. We celebrated Founders' Day, December lOth, with Alpha Theta Chapter in Lansing. Durward Owen, National Director, and Kim Jepson, Past National President, were on hand to enlighten and guide the future of our two chapters. Founders' Day will, I'm sure, never be forgotten by any of the Brothers of Beta Xi or Alpha Theta. Homecoming this year was fantastic for Beta Xi. We had better than 150 alumni and Brothers on hand for this celebration of Homecoming. Central's Chips won against Eastern Illinois, 41-6. Although it was a run away game, the Brothers and alumni present will never forget the Pi Kapp's enthusiasm. Our congratulations for such a large turnout of alumni goes to Dave Van All en, Alumni Relations Chairman. One of our future plans concerns the up-coming "Rose Ball.'' This year it will be held in May. We are hopeful a large number of alumni will attend this great event. This year Beta Xi is working very hard towards the goals of "The War Against Pollution.'' We are planning, along with the Campus Moratorium on PollutiOn Committee, to hold a door-to-door information and enlightenment campaign. April 22 is the big day for a massive anti-pollution demonstration in which we are planning to attend as a chapter.

Thank you, Brothers. We are planning a retreat this spring and also a summer meeting. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the 33rd Supreme Chapter meeting in Chicago, Illinois, in August. BETA UPSILON-UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA During the spring semester last year, the brothers of Beta Upsilon achieved an academic average which topped the 3.0 Dean's List standard and rated us first among the thirty-three fraternities h ere at the University. This year the chapter has complemented that achievement with a bit of athletic notoriety. Upon completion of the winter season, B. U. stood among the top five houses in intramural High-Point competition. Divisional football and bowling championships, along with a consolation volleyball championship have been the prime reasons for this success. Back in mid-December, ole Santa put in an appearance at Beta Upsilon. His bubbly countenance and gifts highlighted the annual Christmas party arranged by the brothers and pledges for a group of needy youngsters from the local community. Throughout the past year OT so, considerable effort has been directed towards the more efficient organization of our young alumni. During May of next year, Beta Upsilon will be observing its Tenth Anniversary at Virginia. A gala reunion weekend is being organized. Tentative plans call for a formal meeting, activities for the wives, and plenty of unstructured time, all capped off with an awards dinner and the Rose Ball. The probable location has been slated as being the famous Boar's Head Inn. Any alumni who have not been contacted are encouraged to get in touch with us. Great participation will be needed to make this affair the success it should be. The following are the chapter officers for the spring semester: Doug Lowenhaupt, Archon; Dick Brush, V. P.;

GAMMA BETA-OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY The officers of Gamma Beta Chapter for the Spring semester consist of Dave Posey, Archon; Eddie Estes, Treasurer; Bruce Lamond, Secretary; Tom McAndrew, Warden; Bill Luton, Historian; and Dave Shakelford, Chaplain . The Chaplain has made many improvements to our little sister organization by keeping the "Pi Kapp Widows" busy making rush signs. As Historian, I have up-dated our scrapbook through Charleston Ball '69, and I am presently editing a rush pamphlet. The Warden is in the midst of composing his Spring pledge policy. The Secretary and Treasurer are busy keeping up with needed correspondence and in maintaining a balanced budget, respectively. Dave Posey is doing a great job in leading Gamma Beta through a successful Spring semester. Fall rush has produced three new brothers and a faculty ini tiate: Larry Echert, a Business Major from Arlington, Va.; Dick McClellan, a Business Major from Arlington, Va.; Mike Sheridan, a Business Major from Arlington, Va.; and Dennis Dudley, our faculty initiate from East Carolina University. Our fine house at 1516 Colonial Ave., is freshly painted upstairs and clean downstairs, ready for rush. Also a new frame for our charter has enhanced its value and will be an impressive asset to our rush . At Charleston Ball this past December, Gamma Beta was honored to have good alumni participation along with inspiring speeches by our Faculty Advisor, Dr. Magoon and the president of our Housing Corp., Mr. Wilson Kilgor. Plans for the approaching Rose Ball and Greek Week are already in the making. On Sunday, October 12, 1969, Gamma Beta Chapter held a Founder's Day Banquet to celebrate the fifth year of our chapter's membership in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. In attendance were twelve of twenty-six charter members. Speaking to the undergraduate brotherhood, alumni and "Pi Kapp Widows" was Tony Brown, the Nationa l Scholarship Chairman. Gamma Beta prepares to enter the new decade by encom·aging strong alumni participation and by keeping our house in excellent condition . The importance of rush procedures were boosted with speeches by Dean Marchian and Chuck Cummings, Field Secretary. Alumni notes: Don Dixon: Gamma Beta 4, the head of Alumni Relat ions, has worked this past semester to encourage alumni participation in our chapter. Dennis Dudley: Gamma Beta 104, our new faculty initiate and Assistant Geography Professor at Old Dominion University, is proving to be a vital asset to Gamma Beta. Barry Moore: Gamma Beta 50, a member of the Almnni Advisory Committee and Head of Publications has just moved to the Washington, D. C., area. GAMMA GAMMA-TROY STATE UNIVERSITY Gamma Gamma Chapter is proud to have in its brotherhood an outstanding All-American-Vince Green. We are all proud of Vince. Not only is Brother Green a most valuable asset to the football team at T.S.U., but he is an active b1·other in Pi Kappa Phi.

Vince Green, Gamma Gamma's All American.

Brother Green is not the only valuable player who is a Pi Kapp, however. Several other brothers have also received awards. We are also proud of Brothers Doug Taylor, Larry Christian, Mike Williams, Marcus Calloway, and Leonard Hulto. The biggest social event for Gamma Gamma Chapter this quarter was the annual "Rose Formal." This year the formal was held at the Holiday Inn in Troy. "Favors" given by the brothers to their dates were large royal blue blankets with a large golden crest monogramed in the center of the blanket. Many brothers, alumni and invited guests filled the Holiday Inn to capacity. After the banquet several speeches were given, then we announced our new Rose-Miss Iris Anne Graddy. No one at T.S.U. knew that we had even elected our new Rose and the excitement ran high among the Kappa Delta sorority sisters of Iris Anne, a Little Sister for two years. Miss Ginger Creel-a member of Phi Mu Sorority, our former Rose, retired gracefully and was presented with a lavalier-to wear always-as a token of the love and respect the brothers of Gamma Gamma Chapter hold for her. Also, Mrs. Mimmi Parks, our housemother (the first housemother at T.S.U.), was presented with her Housemother's pin. This year has proven to be one of the most progressive for Gamma Gamma. We have earned many trophies and awards so far this year-the latest two trophies were for the I.F.C. Basketball competition. Gamma Gamma has won every trophy offered by the I.F.C. (except one) since our existence at T.S.U. This quarter we pledged 22 men. They have proven to be the best pledge class yet-as a whole. An Alumni Relations Committee has been in full swing since the beginning of the quarter, and is headed by several alumni and the Historian. Keeping the alumni informed and active creates a closer and more reaching brotherhood as far as Gamma Gamma is concerned. Gamma Gamma is financially sturdy, morally fit, and is saturated with brotherly love. If you other brothers don't believe it, come see us! You will be welcomed in the true spirit of Pi Kappa Phi.

benefitted by the various fund-raising projects undertaken soon. Spring rush should furnish Delta with many new pledges and all in all, the will continue its tremendous gro~th. Alum notes: Brother Chuck McKenzie is ing music to innocent junioT high school University City, Mo. Brothers Craig Coon and Jim Surprise were tabbed by Uncle Sam's Army and expect to go camp in the very near future.

GAMMA EPSILONWESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY The brothers at Gamma Epsilon really jumped deep end this time.

GAMMA DELTA-MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY The Gamma Delta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi celebrated Founder's Day in a style befitting Pi Kapp traditions. Held on December 10 at the Rivermont Hotel in Memphis, the celebration featured Brother Mel Metcalfe, Mr. Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Metcalfe's talk reminded us of the lofty ideals that the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity stands for. The observance also featured the presentation of several awards. The first presentation of the "Mister Gamma Delta" award was made to Brother Ed Savage. The award is patterned after the "Mr. Pi Kappa Phi" award. The climax of the Fall semester was the initiation of eleven new brothers. Proudly wearing the pin are Brothers Rich Franklin, Ed Hill, Robert Fudge, Gary Hein, Dave Britton, Ken Walsh, Todd Nichols, Lance Russel, Mike Ray, Gary Vanasak and Ray Newby. Already, the new brothers hold positions on the Budget, Publications, Athletic, Pledge Education, Social and Alumni Committees. The Spring elections were held recently and the new slate of officers are: Archon, Ron Maddox; Vice-Archon, Mike Perkins; Treasurer, Jim Weeks; Secretary, Tom Appleton; Warden, Brad Fenton; Historian, David Lowery; and Chaplain, Bobby Furgenson. The key position of Social Chairman is held by Lance Russel, and John Russotto heads the Alumni Committee. The sporting Pi Kapps ran into difficulty in the intermural games this winter. The basketball team finished with a 4-7 mark. Second place was won by the Pi Kappa in ping-pong, eighth place was gained in the turkey trot, and softball gained Gamma Delta sixth place. The future looks good with bowling and tennis coming up. The first-place tennis team will again take to the court in an effort to make it two champion years in a row. The Spring semester promises great things fo1· Gamma Delta. The recently started Housing Fund will be

It has become a tl·adition on Sunda y afternoon to play softball. We are practicing for I.F.C. weekend and are planning to win the softball championship. The second annual Rose Ball will be held April 24, 1970. Plans are shaping up and a good time is in store for brothers. It will be held at Pine Valley Country Club. In the next few months our chapter will be relocating itself. Due to a shortage of housing in Wilmington, we are unable to find a suitable house to rent and are not financially able to buy a house. We appeal to our alumni and anyone who is interested to come up with any helpful suggestions.

The Brothers hope to top the list of the school's 28 fraternities again this semester. As a service project for the University, Pi Kappa Phi cleaned the painted designs and names from the sidewalk in front of the Law Building to revive an old tradition. A marble stone embedded in the cement is supposed to bring bad luck to any person stepping on it, according to the legend. Besides bdnging all the chapter members together to work as a unit, it gave Gamma Iota more campus recognition.

In striving for the most efficient organizational plan, our traditional chapter advisor position has been replaced by an alumni advisory committee. Mr. Everett Daily (AI), Mr. Charles Martin (AI), and Mr. Ray Perry (AI), are working closely with the chapter in both operational and social problems and are helping the chapter establish better alumni contacts. Dr. Fred Hoskins, former chapter advisor, will continue in his position as District VII Governor.

The chapter is proud of its four new Brothers, initiated February 20. Joining our ranks were Ronn Holloway, Steve Hightower, Lou Soileau, III, and Wayne Schauff. With our new rush program we hope to further strengthen our membership before May. New offijcers were elected at the beginning of this semester. Bill Sawyer is at the helm as the new Archon, assisted by Danny Daste as Secretary. Gene Holiman and Cliff Treadaway are the new Historian and Warden, respectively. John Giese is serving as Chaplain, while Ray Puigh retains his post a s chapter Treasurer. GAMMA KAPPA-GEORGIA SOUTHERN With the printing of the history of Statesboro over, one of the biggest tasks was yet to come. The history was printed in sections-33 of them as a matter of factand there were 10,000 copies of each section. These sections had to be assembled and boxed. The publishers knew that this would be a rough job, and it would take, not only perserverance, but a dedicated group to finish the project. One of the Bulloch Herald staff members approached a fraternity on the Georgia Southern campus with the problem, and this fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, answered the call. The brothers and "little sisters" of Pi Kappa Phi "dedicated" themselves to the business of doing the job, that at first looked impossible in a matter of days. The assembling began Saturday morning, December 6, and the goal of 3,000 by Tuesday afternoon was set. However, the goal was exceeded by almost a thousand books, and the boxes were loaded on a truck ready to go late Monday night, a day ahead of schedule. Needless to say, this two-fold surpassing of the goal surprised both the publishers and the fraternity brothers. The fraternity, working as a group, gave $50.00 of the money they earned as a gift to the Bulloch County Department of Family and Children Services with the understanding that it would be used at the director's discretion. Marty NeSmith, president-elect of Pi Kappa Phi, said about the project, "We all enjoyed working with Mr. Coleman and the staff of the Bulloch Herald. This has been our biggest and best money making project, and it will help us with our own financial difficulties as well as those of others. We feel that it is only fitting to help someone in need at this, the most gift conscious time of the year."

The Pi Kappa Phi's are magical creatures-! can try to write a paper, but I can't g et them out of my mind, I can try to forget them, but I can't get them out of my heart. I might as well give up- they are my brothers, my heroes, my friend s, and my sweethearts- happy, carefree, handsom e, grown up little boys. When I return to the dorm at night with only the shattered pieces of my hopes and dreams, a Pi Kapp can mend them like new in only a few precious moments filled with a wink, a smile, and a kiss on the cheek.

GAMMA XI-GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN Gamma Xi is pleased to announce the organization of a new program at Georgia Southwestern College, "The Little Sisters of the Star and Lamp." The purpose of this organization is to participate in g eneral campus activities, and to promote the name of Pi Kappa Phi and the sisterhood . In addition, the sisters will serve as aids at open houses, rush and many other chapter functions. The little sisters were chosen after consideration of their interest and service to Pi Kappa Phi. They also must have had a 2.00 grade point average the previous quarter. The little sisters are a recognized organization on campus, having a written constitution and an accepted advisor. Gamma Xi is looking forward to chartering the 18 initiates of the "Little Sisters of the Star and Lamp" in the latter part of March as these girls truly personify the red rose of Pi Kappa Phi. We highly recommend an organization of "Little Sisters" to any Pi Kappa Phi Chapter. Our "Little Sisters" have given over 100% in helping Gamma Xi obtain its 13 winter quarter pledges; the $240 we raised for the Heart Fund in Americus, and the "Spirit" trophy we won la s t week at Homecoming. Our Little Sister Chairman will be more than happy to send any interested chapter a copy of the "Little Sisters" constitution and any other additional information that can be used in helping other brothers start their own "Little Sister" program.

Officers of "The Little Sisters" at Gamma Xi. GAMMA SIGMA CHAPTERARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE Winter quarter Gamma Sigma Chapter, which was then a colony, has been active in community relations. We have attempted two projects this past quarter. The first, which was a chapter fund raising drive, was set up in imitation of Beta Tau Chapter's previous curb painting project. Two problems arose. To begin with, we were lim ited by city regulations in time and scheduling. This gave us two weeks to complete the project. After pre-arranging our time we were hit with all but four days of constant rain. Nevertheless, we did manage to cover almost half of our alloted territory in the four

days. The 1·esults were compliments from the contacted house owners and an improved appearance in their neighborhood. The second project was a dance featuring the Strawberry Alarm Clo.ck with donations going to the Uptight Crisis Center (a non-profit organization in the community designed to aid people in trouble, particularly drug problems). As it often happens, the featured group did not turn up. However, their backup band (the Lynard Skynard) from Jacksonville g·ave a free concert. The money was refunded at the door with requests for donations. The audience donation, including all our money for ourselves and dates turned out one hundred and twenty-seven dollars for the Crisis Center. GAMMA OMICRON-BETHEL COLLEGE The Gamma Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has just closed its 1970 winter pledge period and is preparing to initiate 14 new brothers. Of these pledges, 3 are members of the Bethel College "Wildcat" Basketball Team. On the intramural scene, Gamma Omicron won first place recognition after beating rival TKE and ending our season with a perfect 7-0 record. Gamma Omicron has also successfully managed to take first place in a civic contest, by having more blood donors for the recent blood drive than any other frat ternity or sorority on campus. Looking forward to next quarter, Gamma Omicron is planning a monumental Rose Ball for our sweetheart, Miss Linda Reedy. Also, the Pi Kapps will be out for first place in softball which would give us the overall intramural trophy. Spring quarter also brings with it the awarding of the Scholarship Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the Fraternity with the best overall scholastic average, Gamma Omicron has successfully captured this trophy for the past three years and has high hopes for making it four in a row. GAMMA TAU NORTH TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY The men of Delta Alpha Colony are all psyched up over the idea of being chartered after having missed initiation 2 times prior to this. Perspective dates for chartering have been set as April lOth thru 12th. Delta Alpha has participated in various activities. We helped in an all Greek function by sponsoring a Halloween Party for the mentally deficient students at Denton State School. We also had a sorority mixer with the Alpha Phi's at the school where we held a Christmas Party for the retarded students. Our fraternity also helped sponsor a voter registration drive. We posted signs around Denton urging the citizens to register to vote. Pi Kapps here have had one of its most outstanding sport seasons. Our football team had an 8 win and 1 lost season for a second place in our league. Our tennis team managed to get second in the netters tournament. Now we are participating in basketball and next month will be baseball and golf. All systems are go here at Delta Alpha. Because our house is rented, it is a concensus of the brotherhood to make improvements in the house of a general nature only and to refrain from making any great expenditure on major work. A fraternity cannot spend money it does not have. Secondly, brotherhood is increased more in a working relationship than one of stagnancy. Too many fraternities develop house-independent brotherhood factions which tend to divide fraternities. At Delta Alpha we avoid this by making house residency a requirement for at least 1 semester per member. We feel this is greatly responsible for our close brotherhood. A chapter's future depends on rush. There is no room for debate for this. Last semester we managed to pick up 10 pledges for our brotherhood. This semester's rush brought much concern to the brotherhood as only 120 men had signed up for rush (a record low). Closed rush

KAPPA PHI COLONY-AUGUSTA COLLEGE Kappa Phi Colony at Augusta College has had a very successful winter quarter. First, Kappa Phi won the first annual Spirit on the Hill Trophy. The Spirit on the Hill Trophy is the award that is presented to the organization that best supports the Augusta College basketball team. All organizations are given points for attendance, group spirit, for decorating the gym, and similar activities. Our biggest point gainer this season was having Brother Bob Steed dressing up as the Augusta College Jaguar, the team mascot. Bob did a great job and we feel that without his key support, we would not have won the Trophy. Another big feather in our hat is the election of our Sweetheart, Polly Ann Caldwell, as Homecoming Queen. Second, we initiated eight new brothers during the past quarter and we had a very successful winter rush. We rushed 53 men on campus and initiated 16 men on March 3 to culminate a very successful winter quarter here at Augusta College . KAPPA PHI COLONYUNIVERSITY OF MONTEVALLO A new Colony has been established at University of Montevallo, Montevallo, Alabama. On March 2, 1970, the Pi Kappa Phi stork, cleverly disguised as Ted Scharfenstein, delivered a bundle of joy to a local fraternity, Phi Alpha Epsilon, by installing it as Kappa Phi Colony of Pi Kappa Phi. This bouncing baby is very healthy and active as demonstrated by the prompt acquisition of twenty-four pledges from a maze of seventy-five rushees, who were attracted amidst the competition from four other fraternities. The activities on the agenda for this semester range from service and fund-raising projects to cookouts and a house party. Of course the most viable and motivating Pledge Education Program attainable is certainly our foremost goal! We would like to extend a hearty welcome to all Pi Kapps to visit the new colony at the University of Montevallo. All proud fathers wishing to· visit the new baby may count on unrestricted visiting privileges.

ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED PI KAPPA PHI P. o. Box 4608 Charlotte, N. C. 28204

Anthony E. Brown National Scholarship Chairman I want to direct my thoughts concerning Scholarship to one of the most significant groups that make up our Fraternity: the Alumni Members. Each of us becomes an alumnus, all too soon it seems, as soon as we graduate from a college or university. It is we who can be most effective in attending to the scholarship affairs of our undergraduate Brothers, and attend to it we must. I call on each alumnus of this Fraternity to turn his attention to the needs of our undergraduate Brothers, especially in the realm of Scholarship, for this is an area vital to the maintenance and the progress of our ever-growing Brotherhood. Let me ask you to support our undergraduate Chapters with your time, with your talents, your interest, your participation, and your financial gifts, S<2 that your activities may reflect positively that your obligation to our Fraternity can be both continuous and effective. If you are among the many adults who are concerned with the state of modern higher equcation in our country, you must respond to this challenge. Become involved with it as much as possible ; I dare you to complain if you refuse to know what is going on! What can you do? You can improve, more than you realize, yourself and your outlook on young adults if you assist in advising a nearby Chapter, or accept a position on an alumni committee, or attend the sessions of a Pi Kappa College or a Supreme Chapter. You have the opportunity to bring the value of your experience to aid in guiding today's young men toward the goals which you have attained and toward the

Second Class post Paid at Charlotte, ~

continuation of the values which you fought for and won. ., If the more direct, personal contact W11 undergraduate Chapter is not possible for there are many other methods by which. may make your influence felt. Our Fraterl11 now multiphasic in its operations, and .tbt portunities for participation, whether. d!l'ei indirect, are almost without bounds . If yoL a businessman with a product which underg~ ate men may need, offer it to them; if you ' professional man whose services or idell5 be of use, let them hear from you ; if yoll money to invest or give, you will find the ternity's needs great. There is, somewh~ need for what you have to offer, and wh 8 your investment may be - time, talent, JJ1' or services - I can guarantee that the it11' you receive in return will be high and long-t The young man today needs a great de· what adults have to offer. He is astute eV and mature enough to avoid the vague opP01 ties that aloof, disinterested adults offer; P mands participation and honesty from those attempt to guide him, and the best place to 1 him on these points is his home ground, 1 is now his institution and his Fraternit:Y· What, you may ask, does all of this have, with Scholarship? A very great deal, for }l. ·education involves much more than claSS1 and study. A young man in college ne~ know that there is someone outside who is 1 ested in him; he needs to know that th 1 something for him to do when he joins l~ the business or professional world.
