THE CONVENTION . As this issue goes to press we find the prevailing spirit among our kindred souls to be tending toward the Convention. But a month is to elapse between the time of penning this article and the established date of our assembly. which is to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Then will there be the'unison of the East and the West, the South and the North. Charlotte is the Capital of Mecklenburg County and center of the biggest hydro-electric development in the United States. It has four railroads, sixty-two daily passenger trains, diverging in eight different directions. It is the home of the Southern Bell Telephone Company for the Piedmont Section, with over 200 operatives. Largest telephone exchange between Washington and Atlanta. Charlotte has an estimated population of 50,000 and

N'â&#x2013;

there are 450,000 people within a radius of 50 miles. Eight banks with loans of over $12,000,000. Water supply one of the finest in the world, with a reserve capacity of 50,000,000 gallons per day. Annual payroll of cotton mills alone, nearly $2,000,000. Charlotte has splendid educational facilities; one military school; two schools for boys; Queens College for Women. Charlotte has a large number of splendidly stocked high-class retail stores, and from their varied stocks anyone can easily supply his or her particular requirements. Has sixty-seven miles of paved and macadamized streets. Over 300 miles of macadam in the county.

The Star and Lamp

One of the largest telegraphic centers south of New York City. The Western Union Telegraph Company works 115 circuits to 516 points out of Charlotte. They employ 135 people and have a monthly payroll of $12,500. Charlotte is the principal relay point, and the headquarters of the Sixth District, which embraces the Carolinas. Our loyal Charlotte alumni are prepared to show you as fine a time as you can get anywhere in the United States. The excellent streets and fine country roads make automobiling fine; they have the cars there for you. The Southern Manufacturers Club and Country Club, as well as the hotels, have excellent dance floors, 9.nd the alumni will provide the ladies for such occasions. The climate of Charlotte is fine. The seashores and mountains are summer attractions, but no place excels Charlotte in the winter, especially around Christmas time, Convention headquarters will be the Selwyn Hotel, as will be noted in a bulletin from the E. S. A., which follows:

OFFICE OF EMINENT SUPREME ARCHON, Lexington, S. C. To all Chapters: On account of the nearness of the meeting to be held in Charlotte the following bulletin is issued as information, ft should naturally issue from the office of the Eminent Supreme Grapter but he is at this time attending the Inter-fraternity Conference in New York, and I am sending it out in hid stead. The Convention will be held in Charlotte, N. C., on the 31st of December, and the 1st and 2nd of January. The Selwyn Hotel will be official headquarters and the rates which have been secured are as follows: Double room with bath $4.50 for two persons, i. e., $2.25 each; double room without bath $3.00 for two persons, i. e., $1.50 each; single room with bath $2.50 for one person; banquet per plate $2.50 (on night of January 1st.) All reservations may be made by writing Henry G. Harper, 244 W. First St., Charlotte, N.

The Star and Lamp

C., or by sending requests direct to the Selwyn Hotel. The writer would suggest that the best arrangement would probably be to send all requests to brother Harper and he will look after the reservations in person and acknowledge the requests to the chapters. An effort should be made prior to a request for reservation to ascertain how many men from each chapter will attend so that the reservations for each chapter may be made at once. The chapters should notify their alurnni and give them the information contained herein and such of their past archons as would attend as they have a vote in the meetings of the Supreme chapter and this will swell the votes that each chapter has. There â&#x20AC;˘ will be no morning session on Wednesday morning. The first session of the Convention will be promptly at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon and in all probability there will be a night session Wednesday at eight. Other sessions of the Convention will be at 9:30 and 2:30 each day. Respectfully Submitted, John D. Carroll, E. S. A.

The brief time allotted to us for work in the Convention demands that we shall be well prepared the moment we enter into the sessions. To quote Roger W. Babson, one of the gifted writers of today: "Progress results only from work, the rate of progress depends entirely upon the quality and not upon the quantity of that work.* * * The quality of your work is more dependent upon your habit of work than upon conscious effort." The editor, hoping to make this issue as greatly reflective of the general organization of Pi Kappa Phi as possible, issued a call to the principal members of the Supreme Chapter and to the archons of each undergraduate chapter for expressions concerning the convention. Brother Carroll, E. S. AA, has evidently meant his bulletin to represent his views from the authoritative standpoint only. The other contributions follow:

The Star and Lamp THE COMING CONVENTION—ITS PROBLEMS By Roy J. Heffner, Eminent Supreme Deputy-Archon. (Chairman, Technical Dept., Extension Division, University of California.) •

The last Convention of Pi Kappa Phi was agood one. Its legislative actions, we thought, were comprehensive, farsighted, and indicative of deep study. We prided ourselves on its achievements and we left Savannah quite satisfied with our efforts. One matter we overlooked—war for the United States. Our contingency fund did not provide for this item. The world has been turned upside down, or rightside up—we are not yet sure which. Despotisms have fallen; traditions and customs have lost their significance. The whole scheme of things has changed. New plans are the order of the day, for old ones are of doubtful value. There Is much to be done, in the light of the many lessons we have learned, and the many new ideas we have in mind. The coming Convention has before it the biggest task which has ever confronted the Fraternity. One of the notable lessons of the war is that of the importance of organization—organizatioin on a large scale. We never could have won without it, or without the cooperation which it accomplished. Surely the necessity for making the best possible national organization for our Fraternity needs no explanation. Sometimes it seems thhat every factor withhin the local chapter emphasizes only local interests. All college activities, and. the majority of incidents in the daily life of the members are of local nature. The problems which • arise from time to time we are prone to believe are local also. As a matter of fact, the same situations are faced in many of the chapters, only to be solved by each chapter independently, without the benefit of the advice and experience of others who have made a thorough study of the question at hand. What would we accomplish if the engineers of today still worried over the First Law of Motion, instead of taking advantage of the conclusions drawn by Newton long years ago? We must have closer union— in other words, we must perfect our organization.

The Star and Lamp

Until our last Convention amended the Constitution to.provide a fair means of handling Convention expenses, there was some excuse for the absence of delegates from the Far-Western.and Middle-Western Chapters. There is now absolutely no reason why each chapter should not be represented in the Coming Convention. The importance of such representation cannot be overestimated. Brothers from each chapter meet—each to find that the other (whose pet scheme for fraternal improvement may not have met with favor at a distance) is real flesh and blood, and after all a prince of a fellow. The coming Convention must carry on many of its predecessor's plans which vtrere frustrated by the conditions of international turmoil. It must also consider many new issues. Let us note a few of its duties: Elect Supreme Chapter officials. Stimulate into action the previously authorized u• prerne Advisory Board. Circulate among thhe chapters detailed copies of its minutes. . Set into motion the machinery required to publish a new directory at a very early date. Order the printing and distribution of the Constitution and By-Laws as originally planned. Better the system of inter-chapter communication, particularly thru the voice of the National publication, The Star and Lamp; which problem involves increasing the circulation of that publication, particularly among the alumni, and boosting the life subscription plan. Study, systematically revise, and absolutely prescribe the ritual for all chapters. Devise distinctive symbols for fraternal garments of officers, and prescribe their adoption. Study the present routine reports required from each chapter—reduce thhe number to the minimum, but make each complete and comprehensive. Adopt a definite, sane, well-rounded policy for expansion, which shall be aggressive in nature, but tempered by conservative thought. Establish a high standard, but offer a real welcome to local organizations which can meet it. Standardize, insofar as possible, ways and means for the chapters, after the best methods have been determin-

The Star and Lamp

ed; then impress the necessity of uniformity and organization at every turn. Enforce the payment at an early date of moneys owed or falling due to the Supreme Chapter by the local chapter: These are only a few of the many questions which must be settled. It should be a wonderful convention, from every point of view. There will never be a better time for each chapter to present its latest and best ideas. There will never be reason to listen to complaints from chapters who do not provide some means of representation. The future of the Fraternity is to be debated, and its policies outlined. It is your duty to see that you have a voice in such matters.

ARCHON BOWEN OF ALPHA

Concerning the spirit of our men toward the Convention, I confidently state that there is no chapter more unamiously and whole-heartedly backing it than is Alpha. Until a few days ago, when two of our men were chosen to represent the College of Charleston, at the Students' Volunteer Convention at Des Moines, Iowa, on the same dates of our Convention, we expected to have every man in Alpha Chapter at the Convention for the full time. This will be rather difficult for some on account of the early opening of the Spring term at our College, but we are going to arrange it some way. Three years having passed since our last Convention, many of Alpha Chapter have never had the pleasure of sitting in a body of loyal brothers representing our various chapters. However, we do not propose to allow this regretable condition to exist much longer. We are also sure of a large representation from our Alumni Association of the city. Alpha Chapter began to think and to talk of a Convention early in the spring, before it was decided whether we should hold a summer or a Christmas Convention. From that time up to the present we. have been looking forward to the time when we shall meet in the inspiring sessions of the Convention. Let us all enter into the Convention with genuine

The Star and Lamp fraternity spirit and true love for PI Kappa Phi. With this spirit a successful Convention will be assured. With Alpha's best wishes for Pi Kappa Phi's success,

ARCHON-DILLARD OF ZETA All eleven members of Zeta chapter, also most of the alumni are looking forward to the convention with the greatest interest and know that it will be for the betterment of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. I honestly believe that Zeta chapter will be able to call it's roll at the convention without a single man being absent. Zeta looks forward with anticipation of seeing every chapter of Pi Kappa Phi well represented at the convention. It is with pleasure that we plan our meeting with brothers from all parts of the States, and work to-gether on the propositions that interest every Pi Kappa Phi. Just to see a brother drop in on us occasionally, as it were, from the other chapters makes us realize what a significant organization Pi Kappa Phil is, and now for us to meet at the convention with every chaptei. there will, we believe, reveal to every one of us what is most needed for the expansion and progress of our Fraternity. Zeta knows and feels the blow that the war has done to her and to the Fraternity as a whole, and all see the need of the convention. We are working on some matters that we wish to bring up and hope to get them in clear shape by Christmas. The delegates elected to attend the convention in behalf of Zeta were: Brothes Dillard, Harper, and Bozeman.

ARCHON OVERSTREET OF ETA â&#x20AC;˘ Eta Chapter has begun its work upon the new Emory Campus, in Atlanta, Ga. Inasmuch as Emory University has taken a great stride toward greater developments, Eta Chapter feels that it must also take greater strides. Therefore we are looking forward to the convention to be held at Charlotte, N. C. January 1, 2, 3, and 4th. We

The Star and Lamp

realize that at this convention there will be born a spirit of determination, a spirit of loyalty, and a spirit of zealousness. We assure you that we shall take advantage of this opportunity to be represented at this meeting, and that our delegates shall be there to gather knowledge, and to display a feeling desirous of.making the convention a success. Let us all hope that the convention will create a closer relationship, so that we may fulfil the laws of brotherly love.

ARCHON RODRIGUEZ OF IOTA Georgia Iota Chapter has awakened and realized that it is most important to have a Convention as soon as posible and to be there fully prepared to work for the betterment and progress of our fraternity. There are many phases of the Convention that demand our attention and consequently we are doing our utmost to be prepared when the time comes. First,"We will be there." We fully realize that as matters stand all Chapters must make all the sacrifices necessary and send their representatives. without fail. Second, we are aware of the fact that at the next Convention there will be an election of new officers to the Supreme Chapter. We feel it our duty and the duty of all chapters, to realize the importance of this fact, and we can not devote too much time in searching thru the fraternity's roll for the men that will be the most capable to fill these very important positions. Naturally, it is a pride for every chapter to know that some of her sons have been chosen for these offices, but we must sacrifice the desire of having men from our particular chapter in office if any other chapter has a better man for the place. We fully realize that the men to be selected for these offices must be most apt and most capable for they are to take the places of the present officers who have done laudable work for the fraternity. They will be the ones to solve the great problems of reconstruction that are staring us in the face. Third, every chapter in the fraternity has found some reforms that they consider necessary for the welfare of the fraternity. It is our duty to study our thoughts, take them to the convention and there expose them. From argument

The Star and Lamp

there comes light. Iota is now developing several thoughts and it will be our pleasure to hear of other chapters bringing new ideas and proposals to the convention. We can not do too much in trying to better ourselves. May I not deviate for the convention article? Personally, I am so concentrated in the earnest endeavors of Iota to better herself during this reconstruction period, that I can not help but mention it. We are striving to bring the most complete harmony in our midst ; to comply with all our By-Laws; every man know everything concerning our Fraternity; every man doing his part in representing the chapter to the best of his ability, socially, scholastically and morally. Truly, this is some program of reconstruction, but we are going to bring it about without fail! We are determinedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we will do it! I thought that perhaps it might be a help to other chapters to know our plans, our spirits, and it may be they will give us some advice or ask for our help in some of these problems. There is also another idea connected with my writing this uncalled partâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is no doubt in my mind that every chapter is now facing the same problems or will soon face them. There might be ,a chapter, that, knowing that a sister chapter is struggling, they might absorb this wonderful spirit, and fight as they should. It is a very critical time for every one or any of us to lay down on the job and not rally. â&#x20AC;˘ ARCHON MOTT OF LAMBDA "A Bigger and Better Pi Kappa Phi" is Lambda's cry. This should voice the sentiment of every true and loyal Pi Kappa just as it expresses the sentiment of every member of Lambda. The convention is a matter of vital importance to us, now that the war is over and reconstruction days are following. Pi Kappa Phi must keep with the pace and the place to "gear herself up" is at the convention. There are many things to be done and much room for improvement. We should put the "Star. and Lamp" on a firm financial basis. This is one matter of importance that must be attended to. The "Star and Lamp" is the connecting

The Star and Lamp

organ between Pi Kappa Phi pulses. We must strengthen and provide for its more frequent publication: If only this one thing is accomplished at the convention, it will be a decided success. We need a uniform system of record keeping established in the subordinate chapters. This is a matter. that is of basic importance. The delegates want to bring back the ideas for a perfect initiation. Show them a model initiation at the convention. We haven't a burial service ritual. We need one sorely. The chapters should be in closer touch with each â&#x20AC;˘ other. Let us start this at the convention. Lambda is looking forward to the convention eagerly and is going to do her best to help make it a success. Here's to the most successfUl convention of Pi Kappa Phi, and may they come more often.

ARCHON RICE OF NU The NU Chapter is very enthusiastic over the national convention. We realize the enormous amount of work to be taken up at this time. We are sending two men to this convention, Messrs. Simpson and Ford. We would send more but for the great expense because of our being so far away.

ARCHON ERB OF XI Xi is looking forward to the convention with great interest and enthusiasm and we welcome the opportunity to meet in convention with our sister chapters and there strengthen our bonds of frindship with Pi Kapps afar and near. We are looking forward to the extreme pleasure of meeting again many of those brothers whom we came in touch with during the period of war. This is going to put

The Star and Lamp-

a spirit into the convention such as has never been experienced before.

This being the biggest year that Xi has seen in her chapter history, fraternity spirit is running high and the thoughts of the get-together during the holidays encourage us to greater activity. We are planning to have a good representation and are expecting the 'echoes' of the convention to give us some good ideas of just what each and every chapter is doing. You will find us heartily in earnest in the endeavor to make the convention a howling success. May it be a convention of good solid deeds and worthy attempts, and may the 'pep' to be manifested, inspire every chapter to finer and better works, that the name of Pi Kappa Phi may take a deservedly high rank among the fraternities of the world.

The Star and Lamp

Editorials Glancing over the pages of a fraternity journal, published some ten or more years ago, the following introductory paragraph of an editorial struck.our eyes: "Almost every day, in some section of our country, college authorities are becoming more and more hostile to fras ternities. It seems to us that one of the chief reason table attribu is ion for this bitter and antagonistic opposit to the general reputation of the college fraternity man as a loafer and general hell-raiser." Amusing isn't it? Ten years and said noticeable anti-fraternity movement has subsided into nothing. Why? Not because the critics have disappeared; nor, from want of discouragement from a certain class. No, from nothing more than the general improvement in all fraternity morals and activities. And, your fraternity, as well as eveiy other, is today interested in inculcating elevating ideals, morality and virtue as never before. Fraternities have won their own victory. It was Armistice Day, 1919. The occasion was the celebration of the first anniversary of cessation of hostilpraising the ities.

John D. was ienced a number of days of the real service life, on the

firing line. But, the matter that we wanted to speak about (anybody who knows, or ever knew Hamer knows that he would have been in the thick of the fight) was John's comment on the last issue of the journal. To be frank, he said that it displayed a lack of copy. To be more frank, we admit with him that there was too much of the editor's say in that issue. We knew it, but conditions forbade that we have it otherwise. This issue is of the more pleasing compositionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there are more voices in its pages.

It is not every alumnus, nor every active chapter man who feels gifted, or inspired to contribute to the columns of his magazine. However, there are more of you men of Pi Kappa Phi, both in chapters and among the alumni, who are capable of setting forth good thoughts in pen and ink, than have ever graced the pages of The Star and Lamp. The pages are yours--the opportunity is yours. Write, do not await our choosing a subject for you and wasting the postage and time to call on you.. To be fair with yourself and the fraternity,. give a few moments of your time for consideration. If you were the fraternity, what would the fraternity accomplish? And yet, just as any great accomplishment has been achieved by co-operative and systematic endeavor, your loyal support combines with that of another brother to make Pi Kappa Phi what it is. In our new Eminent Supreme Grapter, J. W. Setze, Jr., whose address is 25 Auburn Ave.; Atlanta, Ga., we have a thoroughly capable and highly interested member of the fraternity. Brother Setze has served the fraternity as Archon of Iota chapter and is not unknown in our ranks. Follow him, chapter men, and rally to his spuport. How many of you active men of Pi Kappa Phi, the life-blood of our organization, will have it said of you in later years that you have gone out of the chapter taking all and giving none. Can it be that you will seek all the benefits and expect to give nothing in return.

Chapter Letters COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Alpha Chapter Rooms Dear Friends and Brothers:â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alpha sends her greetings to you. May each of her sisters enjoy a year of success such as has not been known before! â&#x20AC;˘ As we look forward to another successful lap in our scholastic work, let us endeavor to make this new year in the life of our fraternity one of progress. Already we have made rapid advance and set high standards in the lecture room and on the campus. Let us now set new standards and, in guiding ourselves by them, make new and greater progress in the world of fraternities. Let's give the other Greeks a run for their money! Get ready for the Convention. Let's all pull for it and pull together. Does Charlotte, N. C. suit everybody? Alpha would like to hear from some of her sisters on this subject. . To begin the year Alpha has only a half of her men back. However, the prospects are good and we're hoping to find enough material to keep us busy. We are having a rather large Freshman class this year and some promising developments among the Sophom ores. So we're going to "make hay." . This, our second year of c o-oducation, promises to be a surprise to those who prophesied its failure. Already Freshman co-eds are making their presence felt in a manner calculated to convince us that they intend making of themselves a permanent fixture. We all believe in them and feel sure that they are a big asset to the institution. The prospects for athletics at the college of Charleston this year are about as usual. We are handicapped by the size of our student body, but as usual will put out hardfighting teams in the two track events of the year and in the basketball season later on. And of course baseball will have its run next spring. On the social program the Cotillion club will open the season with a dance early in October and the Y. M. C. A.

felt

The Star and Lamp

Board will be close behind with its series of entertainments. This side of our year will start off with a rush. We are sorry to hear, unofficially, that the Kappa • Alphas will be inactive at the College this year. Here's hoping they will soon be with us actively again! Brother Samuel B. Ray, '19 is located in his home town, Denmark, S. C. Brother Ray is cashier of the Bank of Denmark. Brother Sam I. Buist is located at Blackville, S. C. with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Brother J. P. McMillan is in business in his home town, Clinton, S. C. Brother J. J. Goudenlock is attending the Medical College of South Carolina. We have in Charleston a large Alumni Chapter running, and any correspondence will reach them through the active chapter. They will beglad to hear from any other Alumni Chapter that would like to exchange ideas with them. Don't forget the Convention, fratres, and let's all be there! • . Yours for a big year, Fraternally, G. A. Martin,

SOUTH CAROLINA ZETA Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C. Grapter, J. W. Potts Archon, A. J. Dillard Harper Correspondent, D. L. Rooms in Harris Building, Spartanburg, S. C. Active Members, 11; Alumni, 46. Though not among the chapters letters of the last isthe Star and Lamp, Zeta comes with the old Pi of sue Kappa Phi spirit this time, and the spirit for the Convention in January. We return eleven men this year and everything is looking mighty good for some excellent pledges, whom we are allowed to pledge on December 15th. We are going to be nothing less than the best fraternity on the campus. All we need is the Convention—just a little getting togeth-

The Star and Lamp

er with all of the chapters in order to get our plans for the betterment of Pi Kappa Phi underway. Zeta is well represented in the different phases of college activities this year as usual. Bozeman, who needs no introduction is one more busy man. He is captain of baseball, manager of the basketball squad, star end on the pig-skin squad, president Preston Literary Society, president of the Panhellenic Council and, if I am not mistaken, a member of the Central Methodist Church. Anyway, he is a jolly good fellow even though he is always busy. Brother Vernon Earl, I present for your approval. Captain of the football team, and ranks nothing less than that with our sister sorority at Greenville Womans Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Beta Sigma Omicron. "Smoky" Joe Potts is manager of the baseball nine, president Calhoun Literary Society, and holds some few standing dates at Converse. The music now starts. Watch your step. Here come Brothers "Jeff" Dillard, "Slick" Swygert, "Rooter" Rollings, "Speedy" Barlow, and "Charles" Moss, with the best out-of-town girl at the dance. So they shake a "nasty hoof." Well, I should say so. Furthermore, they look out for the other Pi Kapp's. Incidentally, Brother Dillard, our highly respected Archon of Zeta, is president of the Terpsichorean Club. When he is worrying, we wonder what it is all about, yet we know. The door being kicked open, several chairs knocked down, and some boisterous talking, jibbering, and a little setting up exercise, Brother "P." Black enters, followed soon after by Jeter. "What's the dope?" Well, if you stay with Brother Black very long you will soon know. It starts off like this, "some other fraternity's taken our freshmen out to dinner." And what follows we should all well know. -Brother Black gave a wonderful banquet at his home on East Main street; at which he had the entire chapter and in addition some of the pledges we have in mind. We are especially indebted to our alumni in Urbe for the great assistance they are showing us this year in rushing our freshmen. There has never been found in Spartanburg a Pi Kappa Phi that did not have the old spirit.. Not one, to the knowledge of any of us. It's a bond of brotherhood, and a gentleman's job to live up to it. Brother Paul C. Thomas of Georgia Iota has been al-

The Star and Lamp

ways on hand to do the right thing by Pi Kappa Phi. He is for the Convention of our fraternity. He tells us that he is going to see to it that the whole chapter is at the Convention. That's going to be easy; not a man yet to say that he is not going to be there. Brother Chas. Harris, S. C. Zeta, though out of town on business except on weekends, is just as loyal. Charles is the boy to handle the pledges. Get all we bid? That's us all over. Brother Howard Carlisle, Jr. and all of thhe alumni, as I said before, are right back of us for the right thing. Brother Harper has been busy for the last few weeks writing to the alumni of Zeta, in order to get the home address, occupation, date of initiation, graduation, etc., of each man. On account of change of officers, the war, and various other disturbances, this information is not available via the Grand Historian's file. Zeta chapter wants, and wants badly, something in the order of a vest-pocket directory of Pi Kappa Phi Alumni. Zeta is ready to send her data to the press just as soon as the other chapters indorse the idea. By many letters received from the different alumni we learn they are in a part of the country that we didn't expect to find them. They complain of not being in touch with us and of not receiving the Star and Lamp. We wish to suggest that a blank form of application be sent every alumnus of Pi Kappa Phi. That it be sent through the Grand Historian or the proper person having a record of the alumni. Brother Bill Melvin visited the chapter for a few days during the month of November. Hoping to meet with as many Pi Kappa Phis as possible at the Convention, we extend very best wishes from South Carolina Zeta to all the chapters. Yours most fraternally, De Witt L.

Georgia School of Technology, Atlanta, Ga. Grapter, Devereux D.Rice Archon, Bartolo Rodriguez Correspondent, D. D. Rice House-9 East North Avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Alumni, 63. Active members, 42. Pledges, 2. Greetings! Iota sends her best wishes to all her sismen from every Chapter at this, as well as every other, pa Phi Fraternity is having as successful a year as Iota is now enjoying. Iota extends an invitation to every man who is to attend the Convention to stop by Attlanta and pay us a visit, we would like very much to be able to meet me nfro mevery Chapter at this, as well as every other, time. We would like to become personally acquainted with every Pi Kappa Phi. Iota started the year off with a big rush. Twenty-six of last year's men returned at the first of the term. There were four other "old men" to return to us. They are brothers Keff D. Barnett, who was a Second Lieutenant in the Air Service; Ben H. Wilkins, who saw eleven months of over-seas service; Bert M. Filber, who crossed four times while in the transport service; and George C. Griffin, who was an Ensign on board the good ship U. S. S. Denver. Iota was fortunate in having these men return for they are all live wires. We consided ourselves very lucky in getting the men that we have initiated this year. They are good men! We would like to introduce to all Pi Kappa Phis our new brothers: H. Anderson Butler, Savannah; Arthur W. Harris, Savannah; Curtis A. McRee, Watkinsvile, Georgia; William F. Spinks, Dallas, Georgia; Wilbur C. Glass, Marlin Texas; William T. Reed, Portsmouth, Va.; Eugene C. Gartner, Ellaville, Georgia; Otto J. Hood, Lake Charles, Louisiana; Oliver Y. Powell, Savanah; Wm. H. Evans, Atlanta; H. Victor Murdaugh, Columbia, S. C.; Lindsey Emerson, Fort Worth, Texas; and C. Stewart Dawson, Charleston, S. C. Brother Carroll paid the Chapters in the vicinity of Atlanta a visit on the eleventh of October. He gave us a very inspiring talk and urged the necessity of having full

The Star and Lamp

representation at the Convention. He put the good old pep into these chapters, all right. A new custom, and a very good one, was inaugurated this Fall. Each retiring Archon is presented with a silver loving cup, engraved with the names of the offices which the Archon has held in the Chapter and an expression of thanks, in appreciation of well'preformed duties to the Chapter. Our Archon, brother Rodriguez, presented the first of these cups on October 10th; one to Brother J. Frank Carreker, the other to Brother James W. Setze, Jr. Brother Carreker received his degree in E. E. last June, running away with all the honors in his class, but was not satisfied so he is back this year working for a degree in M. E. Brother Setze received his degree in Commercial Engineering and is now our Eminent Supreme Grapter. Iota is making a fine showing this year in the College activities. Brothers Glass, McRee, Taber and Griffin are helping the "Golden Tornado" to blow—and, by the way, she is doing some blowing just at present. Every one that has seen Tech play has heard the justly famous Tech Band. The student leader of this band is Brother Manning, while Brothers Rodriguez, Kohlruss and Little do most of the harmony stunts. Iota—or perhaps I should say Tech—is going to send a Cross Country team to Birmingham on December 10th. Brothers Nelms, Fouche, Filber and Walraven are pretty sure of making this team. We have almost a monopoly on the class Secretaries. Brothers Gartner, Griffin and Glass are Secretaries of the Senior, Junior and Freshman classes respectively. Brother Rodriguez is Treasurer and Brothers Dawson, Gartner, Griffin and Taber are members of the "Civil Crew." Brother Rice is Treasurer of the Emerson Chemical Society and Secretary of the "Ti 02"Club—a Chemical club which he, Brother Hucks and another chemist founded last year. Brother Barnett is Vice-President of the "Skull and Key," the Sophomore Club. Brothers Griffin and Gartner are "Kosemes," the Junior Club. Brother Griffin is a

"pup" as the initiates to the "Bull Dogs" are called. We

also have abunch of men representing Iota and Pi Kappa

Phi on other teams and activities, so you see, we are taking some interest at Tech. Don't forget our invitation to stop by and see us when you are going to, or coming from, the Convention. Most Fraternally Yours, Iota Chapter, Devereux D. Rice, Grapter.

GEORGIA LAMBDA CHAPTER University of Georgia

608-609 Holman Bldg. Athens, Ga. _ Active membership, 17. Established 1915. Lambda has a bright outlook for the future, as she returned eleven of her best workers and also brother Robinson of the class of'18, who has been with Uncle Sam and has returned to complete his course. We have taken in five new men and have three more pledges whom we will Initiate in a week or two. The new men are C. E. Brockinton, Brunswick, Ga., who brings with him all honors from High School; A. 0. Benton, Fitzgerald, Ga.; D. F. Brown, Americus, Ga.; L. E. Williams, Atlanta, Ga., who was with the famous Fifth Marine Corps in France for twenty-one months; and L. 0. Vinson, Macon, Ga., who has ably represented us in France, having served for two years as dispatch rider. We were indeed sorry to lose brothers McWhirter, Clare, Griffin, Butler and Varnedo. Brother McWhirter is in Atlanta working while brother Clare is there studing law. These two brothers with several of the Alumni gave Lambda a fair representation in the Capitol of the "Empire State of the South." Brother Griffin is working for the government in Washington, D. C. Brother Butler is with his uncle as automobile salesman and we wish him great success in selling cars to.his Pi Kappa Phi brothers and hope that he will pick us up occasionally. Brother Varnedo is in Savanah this fall but we hope to return him after Christmas.

The Star and Lamp

On the Panhellenic Council we are represented this year by brothers Mott and Merritt, in the Cotillion Club by brother Rourk. In the Freshman Club brothers Benton, Brockinton, and Vinson have charge of Pi Kappa Phi honors. Brothers Mott and Highsmith represent us in football and brother Mott will be captain of the Champion Basketball team of the South. Brothers Robinson and W. D. Vinson are showing themselves worthy of being Pi Kappa Phis by working out of school hours to take themselves through college. Brother Rourke is at his old job of bumming cigarettes and trying to escape work while brother Howald is making up for him by being an assistant teacher in the Agricultural College. Brothers Mott and Futral are' honored by being in the Counsellor Club, the honorary club of the law department. Lambda sends greetings to all the chapters and says that we must get together and boost for Pi Kappa Phi. We hope to see all of you at the convention. J. W. Rourk, Jr., '22, Correspondent.

NEBRASKA NU CHAPTER University of Nebraska Active membership 37 Established 1915 1522 S St., Lincoln, Neb. To Pi Kapps everywhere, Greetings. With thirty-one old members back in the fold, Nu chapter was more than ready to participate in the greatest rushing period ever known at the University of Nebraska. Only five of the names on last year's chapter roll were missing when the roll was called for the first time this year, but seven others who had been in the service were on hand to fill their places. When the bustle and clamor of rush week had subsided, Nu chapter had acquired twelve pledges, as fol-

lows: Robert McCandless '23, Omaha; Jake Naylor '23, Chadron;Harry Lanning '23 and Jack Conlin '23, Sabetha, Kansas; Charles Caldwell '23, Lincoln; â&#x20AC;˘ Clarence Cypreansen '22, Lincoln; Walter Jungmeyer '22, Lincoln; A. Paul Johnson '22, Broken Bow; Anson H. Booth '22, Riverside, California; Francis Mackprang '23, University Place; Frederick Sturm '22, Gordon; Walter Ditzler "23, David City. These men all possess the true spirit of Pi Kappa Phi and all show promise of great accomplishments. Nu chapter is well satisfied with the results of the 1919 rush week. Initiation was held on the night of October 18 and six men became full-fledged Pi Kappa Phis on that date. This initiation added the following names to the chapter roll: Anson H. Booth, A. Paul Johnson, Wesley Jungmeyer, Walter Jungmeyer, Orvin B. Gaston, and Clarence Cypreansen. Nu chanter will be well represented in athletics and other activities during the ensuing year. Walt Jungmeyer and Cypreansen are both members of the Varsity football squad and will no doubt earn their letters before the season ends. In basketball we will have four Varsity candidates. Johnny Collins, an old Nu man is with us again and is assured a guard position. Collins is reputed to be the fastest man ever seen on a Nebraska floor. Wesley Jungmeyer was captain of the Lincoln High five in his senior year and last year starred on the Freshman team. "String" is going strong this year and will play better basketball than ever. Walt Jungmeyer and Cypreansen are also basketball demons, so Nu chapter will not lack representation on the Cornhusker team. Walt is also a wrestling artist and an excellent track man. Brother George Driver is Organization Editor of the 1920 Cornhusker and the writer of this letter is Sports Editor of the Daily Nebraskan. We are well represented in school organizations and honorary societies. Brother Harold Lewis is leader of the University Cadet Band, and Brothers Steven's, James, and Larson play in the 'Sand. Harold Banta is a member of the Art Club, John Van Auken and Lawrence James belong to Iron Sphinx, honorary Sophomore society. Brother Driver is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, honorary commercial, Ray Scott and Walt Jungmeyer of Sigma Tau, engineering, Kenneth Mc-

Nu Chapter will stage her first big party of the year Saturday night, November 22, at the Lincoln Hotel. We are planning on making this party one of the social events of the season at Nebraska and the committee in charge are making elaborate preparations. Nothing would be more pleasing to members of Nu Chapter than to have visitors from some of the other chapters as our guests on that night, but our isolation no doubt prevents this. Hoping that all our sister chapters have as bright an outlook for a successful year as we have, we are Most Fraternally Yours, Orvin B. Gaston, Correspondent.

VIRGINIA XI CHAPTER

Pi Kappa Phi's best year at Roanoke College is now in session with every man filled with fraternity enthusiasm and with better facilities for fraternity activities. We were very fortunate in securing a fraternity house near the college and this in itself has done more to create a good wholesome spirit of fellowship than anything else. Xi has always stood for more in college than any of the other fraternities here and we feel very fortunate in getting much of the best material in the college. Athletes, scholars, and literary men are never lacking among our members. Frater Wagener, originally of Alpha, is still with us and to him is due much credit for our success. His counsel and advice has done much to give our chapter the high position it now holds. Harley Erb,'20, who has captured many of our college honors is our archon. He just bubbles over with good plans for the betterment of our fraternity. 'Doug' Chapman '20, is our real athlete, twice captain of the football team and baseball nine, and president of the Senior Class. He works for the Xi all the time, 'Skinny' Comer '20, our longest member and 'Ted' Rush, our shortest, add enthusiasm to our chapter activities. They have won favor by the way they handle our feeds. â&#x20AC;˘

The Star and Lamp Muse '20, and I. D. Chapman '21, are with us again

this year after serving last year in the Navy where the former obtained a commission as ensign and the latter served with distinction as a first class Pharmacist's mate. Wade Corbin is president of the Sophomore Class and is getting some new men in good condition for their initiation. Gavis '21, is another of our good athletes and is making a name for himself in social circles. 'Ted' Webber and Clinton Eley who live here in Salem have the fraternity at heart even though they are not in college. 'Ted' is great on initiations. We are especially proud of our new men. E. B. Moore '20, is one of the college's best students, having won a distinction each year he has been in college. J. W. Fix '22, is secretary of the Student Body and holds other important positions. J. O. Crocket '23, and W. C. Chapman '21, underwent the vigors of our last initiation. They both give promise of splendid men. Painter '23, Litts '22, and Anderson '23, are pledged members and are developing into real fraternity men. We take much pleasure in introducing our new men to Pi Kappa Phi with the promise of more before the year is out. We would be very glad to have some of our fraters who are ever in this part of the country to visit us. We assure them of a royal reception. Xi sends its best regards to all the chapters with the hope of meeting many of the brothers at the Convention. Fraternally Yours, L. G. Muse, Correspondent.

ALABAMA OMICRON University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala. Archon, W. E. Horater. Grapter, H. F. Burchfield. Correspondent, George M. Grant. Chapter House-527 Thirteenth Avenue, Tuscaloosa, Ala. Pledges, 2. Active Members, 30. Alumni, 24. Omicron faces this year with the greatest prospects of her career. We have done exceptionally well. The men

r't

The Star and Lamp

that returned this year are brothers Gordon Barnard, A.

Colquitt Herman Burchfield, George Grant, Paul Hooten, Mayfield Ward, Chester Counts, Jack Horater, Walter Horater, Billie Ray, Arthur Stephens, Bruce Shaw and George Stacy. It is interesting to note that only six of these men were here last year, the other seven being out of the university on account of the war. Had it not been for the fraternity many of these would not be back in the university this year. Since the beginning of the year we have taken in three old men, namely: Brothers Lowell Black, Dothan, Ala.; Rex Almon, Gilbertstown, Ala., and Robert Thompson, Russelville, Ala. Rush week was held the second week in October and there was a strong competition on the part of all the fraâ&#x20AC;˘ ternities. We pledged sixteen men. The following have been initiated into the folds of Pi Kappa Phi: R. G. Tate, Birmingham, Ala.; Jessie B. McQueen, Birmingham, Ala.; Dewey Thomas, Hartselle, Ala.; S. J. Drummond, Birmingham, Ala.; William F. Bebe11, Jamaica, L. I., N. Y.; J. B. Shealey, Dothan, Ala.; J. F. Fletcher, Birmingham, Ala.; George Cornish, Demoplis, Ala.; Hain Huey, Birmingham, Ala.; L. C. Parnell, Maplesville, Ala.; E. P. Hood, Owenton, Ala.; Lucien G. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.; Pete Brice, Oneonta, Ala., and Hastin Ballard, Hamilton, Ala. Two pledged men are yet to be taken in: Joe Starnes, Guntersville, Ala. and S. P. Faucette, Northporte, Ala. This was the highest number of men pledged by any fraternity at the University of Alabama, and by this you can see that we are "on the job." We have our share in all the student activities. On thefoot ball team we have four men upholding our honor: Brothers Counts, Hood, Walter and Jack Horater. Brother Walter Horater is president of the "A" club, an organization of men who make their "A" in atheletics. Brother Counts is president of the Engineering Club, in the School of Engineering.. Brother Drummond is on the Glee Club, and Brother McQueen is a member of the Blackfriars, the dramatic club of the university. Omicron was represented at the conference in Atlanta by brothers Burchfield and Hooten. They reported an interesting meeting. We are at the present living in a rented chapter house just off from the campus, but We have unanimously voted to start a movement for a new chapter house. Alabama has

The Star and Lamp

the name of having the prettiest row of chapter houses in the South and we want to build a house in keeping with our fraternity. The old Pi Kappa Phi spirit says that it .can be done. What about the convention? Omicron is already planning for it. This will be the first to be held since the establishment of Omicron and we intend to be there with the old Pi Kappa pep and enthusiasm. Just think of those good old Pi Kappa hand shakes and brotherly greetings! Are you ready? Fraternally, Geo. M. Grant, Correspondent.

GEORGIA PI CHAPTER Oglethorpe University, Georgia. Established 1918. Total Membership 33.

Active Membership 25.

Pi opened in September and had fourteen members to return. Since college began we have initiated eleven, giving us a total active membership of twenty-five. We were very fortunate in securing the house of one of the professors in the institution, ready furnished, for our chapter-house. The house has all modern conveniences and adjoins the campus, making it very convenient for us. This is our first attempt to operate a house, but we are more than pleased with it. We take pleasure in introducing to all Pi Kappa Phis our new members. They are: W. M. Lewis, A. J. Whiddon and L. E. Morgan, of Dothan, Ala.; F. D. Little and C. W. Hood, of Commerce, Ga.; W. P. Selman, Summerville, Ga.; F. K. Simms, Dalton, Ga.; Clifford Simms, Richland, Ga.; Chas. E. Boynton Jr., Atlanta, Ga.; J. L. Bussey, Lincolnton, Ga. Among our membership we have representatives in almost every form of college activity. On the varsity football team, we have Bros. H. C. Chestnutt and Clifford Simms. In the orchestra we have J. P. Wilson, F. D. Little and F. K. Simms. Bro. H. C. Chestnutt is president of the Sophomore class. F. D. Little is Vice-President of the Freshman class.

The Star and Lamp

Pi was very much pleased at the appointment of brother J. W. Setze Jr. as Eminent Supreme Grapter. Brother Setze has been a great help to this chapter ever since its beginning. Brother Carroll could not have found a man anywhere that would put his heart into the work any more than he will. This chapter is looking forward to the convention which is to be held in January. This is the first opportunity that we have had to send representatives and we expect to pay up our debt to the national chapter and be represented. When the last issue of the Star and Lamp came we were very glad indeed because it is the greatest thing possible to open the eyes of a chapter when they read the wonderful records that some of our chapters are making. We have had quite a number of the fellows from Iota and Eta Chapters to visit us, both at our weekly meetings and at other times, this Fall. We are always glad to have them, and any other Pi Kappa Phis who are in Atlanta, to come.out to Oglethorpe University to see us. We would like very much for the representatives from the Western chapters to stop by and see us as they return from the convention if it is convenient for them to do so. With best wishes to all the chapters for a most successful year. S. H. Gilkeson, Historian, Pi Chapter.

Pi Kappa Phi we love Thy name all else above Fraternally. Success for you we pray, We strive each passing day, To win where'er we may, Glory for thee. Thy stars and lamp shine bright, Thy swords are fraught with might, Thy shield a boon. Thy teachings are enshrined Within each Pi Kapp's mind. May each good Brother find Thy best fortune.

Duty to you, may thoughts imbue, Pi Kappa Phi. Beats still my pulse for all that's good for thee; Greets still my mind a dream of victory— Bright may the Star and Lamp be shining high,— May their rays gleam, their brightness beam, As we shall cry: I love you—I love you, Dear old Pi Kappa Phi. Duty to you, may thoughts imbue, Pi Kappa Phi. Falls now a call that bids me pass away; All's well with me to greet that Fairer Day. When the cold sod is levelled over me May Pi Kapps say, "He served his day For P. K. P." I love you—I love you, Dear old Pi Kappa Phi. Duty to you, may thoughts imbue,. Pi Kappa Phi. Bolt.

Brother Frank Rogers of Delta Tau Delta has recently rounded out his twentieth year as editor of "The Rainbow." For the past four years and more it has been the pleasure of the writer to receive and con the pages of "The Rainbow." If it is the will of Pi Kappa Phi that we should fulfil such a period of time in similar service for our fraternity, it is our sincere hope that we may have been just as efficient and ardent in our labors as has the editor of "The Rainbow" proven in his capacity. Theta Chi, long established as one of the prominent eastern fraternities, is gradually pushing westward. Recently it has entered Michigan. Previous to that Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania State, College were added to its chapter rolls. North Dakota, Oregon Agricultural and Illinois are also to be included.
