THE CONVENTION Emerson, in his essay on "Friendship," said: "Thu scholar sits down to write, and all his years of meditation do not furnish him with one good thought or happy expression."

When we begin to write of the convention all of our hours of meditation do not furnish us with a proper introductory paragraph. It is sufficient to say that so many pleasing occurrences, such splendid accomplishment in the way of legislation, the renewing of old acquaintances and the making of neW, crowned by the successful banquet, give us so many subjects for thought and expression that we are handicapped in ability to properly construct our article.

Most of you know it, but for the information of those who do not, the headquarters of the convention centered in the Selwyn Hotel, a well chosen hostelry, Charlotte, N. C. Back in December, 1916, when Henry Harper, on the floor of the Savannah Convention, issued an invitation for the next biennial session to meet in Charlotte, we were for Charlotte.

The city itself needs no further recommendation than just such statistics as one might get ordinarily, but from the standpoint of solid fraternity strength Pi Kappa Phi has reason to regard Charlotte with due consideration. There we have a body of loyal, energetic, and enthusiastic alumni who are continually proving their merit and worth to our organization.

The various officers and delegates began to arrive in the city on Monday, December 29. The first session, which was of no importance so far as general information is concerned, was held on the afternoon of the thirty-first. There was no night session.

The morning and afternoon sessions of the first and second of January were replete with reports, discussions, and constructive legislation, a review of which we will give later in condensed form.

THE STAR AND LAMP

On the evening of the first was the occasion of the banquet.

Some sixty odd plates were set and the long banquet table extended the length of the large Selwyn dining-room. The menu was indeed delectable: Oyster Cocktail Cream of Tomato Soup Salted Almonds Chilled Hearts Celery Parisienne Potatoes Queen Olives Broiled Salmon Trout Sweetbreads with Mushroom Sauce Roast Young North Carolina Turkey, Chestnut Dressing, Cherry Sauce Asparagus Hollandaise Mashed Potatoes Waldorf Salad French Green Peas Selwyn Punch Neapolitan Ice Cream Roquefort Cheese Assorted Cake Toasted Saltines Mints Demi Tasse

The banquet program was not carried out exactly as printed.

No, indeed! Bear with us in our nervous state as we relate the incidents of the evening, for we still have visions of Henry Harper in prison garb. . The honors of toastmaster were conferred upon our good Brother Carroll, retiring Eminent Supreme Archon. The various toasts of the evening were announced by the toastmaster in his jocular and humorous manner. The "Welcome" extended by Brother Henry G. Harper, Jr., Kappa, bespoke the hospitality and cordial atmosphere of the city of Charlotte and was a fitting introductory toast for the evening. "A Voice from the West," voiced by our mid-west brother, "Bill" Simpson, assured us that Nebraska Pi Kapps expected to promote the good name of Pi Kappa Phi as well as manipulate a campaign for conservative extension. "Some Fraternity Impressions," by J. AV. Setze, Jr., Iota, was a survey of the Interfraternity Conference, which Brother Setze attended in November. "The Long Green," by J. L. Ellis, Jr., Iota, was a typical voicing from the chancellor of the exchequer. TIIE STAR AND LAMP, by AV. S. Bolt, Sigma, expressed the hope that the brothers would more generally view the official organ of the fraternity as theirs and not the property of the staff.

"The Test," by Roy J. Heffner, Gamma, was a short but appropriate and masterful tribute to the sacrifice, the supreme

price paid by our dead heroes of the World War. Edwin Cook, of the Charlotte Observer, a member of A T Si, was present and, upon invitation, offered, a few fitting remarks. "The Pin We Wear," was an eloquent eulogy to our diamond shield. Brother John D. Carroll, Sigma, did justice to each and every emblem and component part of our pin. In "Miscellaneous" remarks Brother J. Cozby Byrd, between puffs of his enjoyable cigar (and Cozby will attempt to talk and smoke at the same time) gave utterance to good thoughts which had not been touched upon by others on the program.

The toastmaster, believing that the younger, active members of our fraternity should have voice on such an occasion, called upon W. L. Bozeman, Zeta, and G. E. Powell, Mu, both proving equal to the occasion. C. P. Spruill, Kappa, then offered a presentation speech which was doubly a surprise to the banqueters. First, in that Brother Spruill exhibited a senatorial eloquence which was prepossessing. Second, that Brother John D. Carroll was made the recipient of a silver service set which would tempt a king. The gift was presented in the name of the Supreme Chapter and the twelve active chapters.

Brother Carroll, by dint of a "stiff upper lip" was able to respond. His words were few, but well spoken and his heart-felt appreciation of the gift was quite evident. (NOTE: The silver service was truly appropriate, inasmuch as announcement had been made, just the day previous, of the coming marriage of Brother Carroll and Miss Carrie Ruth Efird, of Lexington, S. C.) Brother "Jimmy" Setze requested the privilege of another talk to the banqueters and was given that favor. In teardampened, tremulous tones he related the shame and disgrace to which he had been subjected in the afternoon of the same day by receiving a request from the management of the hotel for an open apology for a wanton bribery of a porter, by one of the fraternity, said bribery having been made for the express purpose of the delivery of "spirits."

Brother Simpson, of Nebraska, being an ardent supporter of the cause of prohibition, sprang to his feet, and with clenched fists and a serious face (unusual for "Bill") demanded immediate investigation, to be followed by unceremonious expulsion

8

THE STAR AND LAMP

of the guilty culprit when apprehended. Word led on to further words and Henry Harper took a hand in the argument.

Brother Harper accepted the blame for the bribery, stating that his motive had been that of hospitality, rather than of thirst, for the very scarce liquid had been procured for a visiting brother. Simpson was immediately tooth and toe-nail for the expulsion of Harper. Toastmaster Carroll interceded and requested that the matter be taken up at the business sessions of the following day. Simpson was so highly perturbed and wrought up over the matter that he was unwilling to grant any leniency whatever—his prohibitionary demands must be granted.

Word followed word, adding to the feeling between Simpson and Harper until the latter, believing himself to have been insulted beyond the limit of personal endurance pulled the artillery from his pocket and fired three times.

The writer was not "next" to the plot and had meanwhile proceeded' to swallow "hook, bait, and line." All during the moments of the thickest of the argument we were interceding with Simpson to drop the matter. Simpson didn't drop it.

We did drop—below the line of fire. Possibly we'd have gone on under the table but for the impediment facing us, in the form of sturdy table legs.

Well, it was a good lesson. We should have known in the beginning that such feeling could not exist between brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. The affair also taught us that some of our college athletes had trained their minds for instant action in cooperation with their feet, for every means of exit from the room was made use of.

The morning of the last day was devoted to legislation. In the afternoon the final touch was given the details from other sessions and the convention launched into the election of officers. We do not need to usurp space here by giving you that result, for you may find the directory in previous pages of the magazine.

Upon the election of Brother Heffner to the E. S. Archon's chair he was given that position by Brother Carroll. The newly elected officers were duly sworn in by the retiring E. S. A. In the later hours of the afternoon we were treated with an auto tour over the city of Charlotte, a most enjoyable experience.

Then came the good-byes. In conclusion, let us state that Charlotte is an ideal city for such a convention; the alumni of Charlotte are just the caliber of fellows to make you enjoy yourself; the convention itself, in the words of a citizen of Charlotte: "The most business-like convention witnessed in my experience. No skipping sessions; no passing up of this and that; omething had to be accomplished."

THE SELWYN HOTEL

PRINCIPAL RULINGS OF THE CONVENTION The pins to be worn by members of the fraternity in active chapter life shall be plain or jewelled with pearls only.

THE STAR AND LAMP has been changed to a life-subscription basis only. The price is $10, payable in one, two, or four

payments.

A Book of Information is to be published and compiled by the Eminent Supreme Journalist. This will contain a history of the fraternity, list of all Supreme Chapter Officers to date and other important data.

A pocket directory of membership was authorized to be issued.

10

THE STAR AND LAMP

Chapters not responding to calls for chapter letters will be allotted a blank white space in the Chapter Letter section of the journal as an advertisement of their neglect.

The coat of arms recognition pin has been adopted as the official form.

Alumni chapters were authorized under a charter fee of $10 and an annual chapter fee of $5.

A standard form of stationery will be used entirely by the fraternity. Developments of the adopted form are being rapidly pushed and you may obtain information from D. D. Rice of Iota, W.S. Bolt, E. S. J., of J. C. Byrd, Business Manager.

December ro is especially emphasized as Founders' Day and all chapters are instructed to observe this date. In the future it will be considered a day of memorial to the dead and tribute to the living.

Chapters and Supreme Chapter officers will annually submit an inventory to the E. S. Thesaurophulax.

Chapter property will revert to National Chapter in case of surrender of charter.

The matter of a traveling secretary was discussed and will be probably enforced at the next convention.

Expansion policies were thoroughly discussed. Certain boundaries have been established. Do not consider encouraging a petitioning body until you have obtained information from members of the Supreme Chapter.

The whistle adopted at the Savannah Convention was abandoned and the old whistle re-instated. The music and words will be obtained and printed on slips for mailing in the future weeks.

There is to be a slight change in the certificates of membership which are issued.

The emblem of Pi Kappa Phi shall be worn by only one lady outside of the immediate family of a member. This means that the promiscuous donations of pins to the feminine sex must cease.

Chapters will be named and recognized in pure Greek succession only. Heretofore the Greek succession and the state name have been used, as South Carolina Alpha and California Gamma. In the future it will be Alpha and Gamma.

THE STAR AND LAMP will appear five times annually, consisting of never less than 8o pages, and as near 120 pages per average issue as possible.

The finances of the magazine will be entirely in charge of the business manager. A standard cover page is to be adopted.

The George Banta Publishing Company of Menasha, Wis., has been designated as official publisher of the magazine but the mailing point will be as heretofore, Otterbein, Ind. Banta's Greek Exchange was officially recognized by the convention and an order ruled for the Exchange to be sent to members of the Supreme Chapter. All subordinate chapters were instructed to subscribe to the Exchange.

Standard forms of chapter accounting were adopted, as per the submitted forms of the Collegiate Publishing Co. Berkeley, California, was chosen as the next place of meeting.

Birmingham, Alabama, was also in the race, but the invitation of Brother Heffner was given preference, owing to the fact that the western brothers deserve the convention as a means of more thorough acquaintance.

We wrote all of the members of the new Supreme Chapter for photos. Two have been sent us. These two with our own are being submitted.

ROY JACKSON HEFFNER Eminent Supreme Archon To my Brothers in Pi Kappa Phi: You have honored me by electing me to the highest office in our fraternity. My task is the harder because of the fact that the man who preceded me has set an enviably 'high mark.. If I but do as much for the fraternity as he has done I shall consider my administration highly successful.

I look forward to two years of interesting and hard work in guiding our policies through the period of study and reorganization which is confronting every fraternity since the close of the war. I shall need your help and your advice many times before my term of office expires, and I take this means of asking you for them.

ROY J. HEFFNER, Eminent Supreme Archon.

HENRY G. HARPER, JR, Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon

Henry was evidently too bashful to write his introductory note to the brethren. We will always think of Henry as the "fellow who pulled the trigger." But, if you want an excellent example of a Pi Kappa Phi of l00% pep-efficiency, look Henry up. We answer his letters three at a time, they come so rapidly—and they are all brimful of good suggestions for the welfare of the fraternity. Henry is a North Carolinian, hails from Charlotte. That is why we thought "Good-bye Bill Simpson" when he (Bill) proceeded to aggravate Henry on the prohibition question. On that fateful night we had Henry pictured vividly in a suit of prison stripes, but to our knowledge at present, he is peacefully and quietly transacting business for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., in Charlotte.

WADE SMITH BOLT Eminent Supreme Journalist

This is a likeness of the one who has labored with the duties of journalist for the past five years, and who would be content to continue in that capacity for a lifetime—were it not for preventing some better talent from entering the office. The associations with the men of the fraternity endear the office to him more with each passing issue.

INSTALLATION OF RHO CHAPTER

15

INSTALLATION OF RHO CHAPTER On Saturday morning, February 21, Henry Harper and 1 accompanied by Charlie Hazlehurst and Neveland Brand, from Kappa Chapter, arrived in Lexington, Virginia, about ten thirty in the morning. One of our boys met the train and after introducing himself to us carried us to the Inn where we were to

stay while in Lexington.

Of course the first and principal item of interest was the group of men who were to become Pi Kappa Phis. But we had to wait until classes were over, for it is an unknown quantity for a Washington and Lee man to cut classes.

Ben Powell of Eta, the organizer of our chapter at Washington and Lee, came to the Inn at lunch time, bringing with him the entire bunch. Right here and now I must say that I was never more agreeably surprised in my life. I had looked forward to meeting a fine lot of boys but never once did I hope to meet the representative and splendid fellows that Powell introduced to us. So, Ben, we take our hats off to you, and congratulate you, as well as the fraternity on the work that you have done and that we know you will continue to do at Washington and Lee. The men introduced to us as future Pi Kappa Phis were all that we could ask for and I am sure they will ever be a credit and a help to the fraternity.

We began the installation about four o'clock in the afternoon and with the help of the initiating team from Xi Chapter I must say that it was the most impressive and best initiation that I have ever attended. First we carried each man through the entire initiation ritual and then installed the chapter as a whole. I think that the ritual, as used by the Xi team, will ever be in the mind of each of us who witnessed it.

After the installation, officers for the new chapter were elected and installed. By this time it was about seven o'clock and Brother Powell announced that the banquet they had arranged would be served at seven-thirty at the "Dutch Inn." The banquet was a most enjoyable affair and was indeed a fitting close for the day. After the tables had been cleared, as usual, speech making was in order. Every man was called upon to say a few words and responded with a true Pi Kappa Phi spirit. The entire affair was one that will never be forgotten by those attending.

THE STAR AND LAMP

The following is a list of the names of the new brothers who compose our "Baby Chapter": Wells Horace Rutherford, Sherman, N. M.; A. Ben Powell, Red Level, Ala.; Lewis Waiers Milbourne, Baltimore, Md.; Shirley James Robbins, Benton, Pa.; Lawrence Waller Davis, Rural Retreat, Virginia.

I want to thank the membership of Xi Chapter for the active and cordial support they gave the new chapter. The entire number came from Salem for the installation, lending a helping hand in time of need, for if it had not been for them we would have been unable to put on a model initiation. The Roanoke boys are certainly there when it comes to real fraternity spirit and they have set a good example for our new chapter to follow.

The members of. Xi Chapter stayed over for the banquet making a total of twenty-eight men present. This was a large number of Pi Kappa Phis as you know there are very few if any living near Lexington.

Sincerest congratulations and the heartiest of welcomes I extend, for myself, and the fraternity as a whole, to Rho, our "Baby Chapter."

THE STAR AND LAMP

of North Carolina. This proposition is nationally important because the situation which now faces Kappa will sooner or later face every chapter group within the fraternity, if they keep abreast of the times; it is of national import because of the negative status of our national organization relative to a building fund.

A CHAPTER HOME Every chapter of Pi Kappa Phi should own its home. This should be a first class house, modern in construction and equipment, and this house should be located somewhere on or near the campus of the college or university in which our fraternity is permitted to exist. There is little satisfaction, in any real sense, in living in a rented house, my brothers; but there is an indescribable air of freedom, satisfaction and contentment.we step into our breathe as we and home house JOHN D.

Boys, the effort to get a home?

Besides this sentimental reason, which is most powerful, there stands the cold fact that a rented house is much costlier than a home; that in a rented house you are at the mercy of the owner, who, having no interest in your chapter, seeks every opportunity to raise the rent. If your chapter remains in a rented house eight or ten years your chapter will have paid enough in rents to pay the taxes, insurance, repairs, water and lights, and buy the house besides. All real estate pays for itself in eight or ten years. Any real estate man will tell you that.

A CALL TO FRATERNALISM

But to return to the proposition: Our brothers of the Kappa Chapter were brought face to face last year with the pressing necessity of providing themselves with a house. And so this chapter—a fine lot of men it is—gave a banquet in the capitol city of the state in the banqueting hall of the leading hotel; and to this banquet the chapter invited all the alumni members of the state to council with them on the ways and means of raising money for the purpose of securing a house for permanent occupation.

THE STOCK COMPANY AND THE SCHEME On the night of this banquet the idea of forming a stock company was conceived of as being the best method to adopt in raising money for the venture. The merits of this idea were discussed at length, and finally, everybody being converted to. plan was the idea, the The scheme adopted.

It is stipulated that the rents which are to be paid in year by year by the chapter group which, though composing the same chapter is changing annually as to personnel, are to be taken over by the secretary and treasurer of the company who will apply it to paying the

20

THE STAR AND LAMP

stockholders six per cent on their investment. With the surplusage accumulated within the year the secretary and treasurer of the stock company will buy in for the active chapter as many shares at $1oo each as there is money that year to buy them with. So, the only Condition on which the stockholder takes out a share of stock is that he sell it at par, namely, at $too, when asked to do so by the active chapter. Following this policy the active chapter in the course of four or five years will be able to buy in all the shares without working a hardship on anyone, while the boys who take out the shares will profit in a first class business proposition.

While the proposition is a money-making one for all concerned, it is primarily a fraternity enterprise—an outgrowth of the fraternal spirit.

They called on the alumni for help to meet the obligation. And then and there around that table those forty

men subscribed the sum of four thousand dollars in less than ten minutes. Later, this amount and more was collected and the first payment, an installment of $5,o0o, was paid. At this writing the Kappa men are preparing to move into the best fraternity house at the University of North Carolina on the first of next September.

This house of fourteen rooms, when all are occupied, will yield $250 per month or $2,250 for the school term in rents alone. Add to this amount the monthly dues and the initiation fees and you will find that the income from the chapter will be three times the amount necessary to pay the interest at six per cent. Whatever surplusage there is after paying the interest, insurance, taxes and repairs will be applied to reducing the number of shares held against the chapter by stockholders.

For the stockholders the proposition is absolutely a safe one, for the chapter it is a fair one. No outside interests will be allowed to gain control of the stock or property.

fraternalism. At the same time this is an opportunity for an investment of the first class. The Kappa Chapter has already guaranteed the fact that the property will be completely paid for by making the initial payment of $5,000. There remains to be paid $1o,000, and this must be raised by selling shares of stock. This undertaking is too great to be shouldered by the active chapter and a few young alumni of the lone chapter.

The Kappa stockholders, of which there are thirty-odd, have seen that this is a project of national importance, and so they are offering the shares of stock in this enterprise to all members of Pi Kappa Phi from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Now is the opportunity of the boys in every chapter to help the chapter in greatest need, the chapter which is engaged in doing a great thing for the fraternity, nationally. I once thought that I would write an article on "Fraternity Spirit." But no words can express fraternity spirit so forcibly as that action which expresses itself in substantial help. To help in time of need is the fraternity spirit. To come to the aid of Kappa now—that is the fraternity spirit. For Kappa to help any other chapter in need—that is the fraternity spirit. For all in the fraternity to help one another—that is the fraternity spirit.

Who will show the fraternity spirit now?

along? This is the fair, the logical, and the fraternal thing to do.

It is quite probable that some member of some chapter will be able to take three or four shares in this enterprise, as was the case with several men in Kappa. There are many fellows who could easily take one share. And if there happens to be a chapter anywhere that has not a member in it able to buy at least one share of stock (we hope there is not such a chapter) then it is highly proper for the chapter, as a chapter group, to subscribe for a share. Every chapter group, in any event, should, as a unit, subscribe to one share of stock. The chapter thus subscribing can then hold this stock certificate as collateral among the assets of the chapter to be applied to some fraternity purpose when it is sold back to Kappa. And boys, a hundred dollars just dumped down on your chapter three or four years from now would not be an unwelcome visitor at all, would it?

The scheme of raising this money is precisely the same as that employed by our government in raising funds during the war. These fraternity stocks can be taken up at par, however, in three or four years whereas Liberty bonds run for twenty-five or more years. This fraternity stock pays six per cent whereas Liberty bonds pay only four and a fraction.

Everyone will be interested to know that the Kappa building company was offered a loan of $to,000 on the house as it stands by a reliable insurance company. But we don't want any insurance company holding a mortgage on Pi Kappa Phi property.

We are going to raise it ourselves'.

Let us, my fraternity mates, set this precedent as we go forward making 1920 history. Let us establish the precedent that whenever one chapter of our fraternity makes the initial move to purchase a chapter home, and raises and pays down one-third s of the necessary amount for the home then all other chapter one least at be subscri and chapter this will come to the aid of ICE hundred dollars to the enterprise!

I, myself, would be delighted to hear from any brother on this matter or to receive and transfer your payment to Brother Griffin, and see that you get your certificate all right.

I, for one, want to see the time come when we shall all be brought close together nationally, through common acts of self-sacrifice for the common good of all of us, and if Pi Kappa Phi responds to this appeal, I think the beginning of such a bright day will have been made.

COLLEGE FRATERNITIES ACTIVE IN FIGHT AGAINST VENEREAL DISEASES

College men, largely fraternity men, have given invaluable aid to the United States Government in its comprehensive health campaign to eradicate venereal diseases. In response to a request from Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service, 215 fraternity chapters offered coOperation in varying degrees.

This cooperation includes efforts to give rational sex instruction to freshman initiates and to disseminate a knowledge of the dangers and consequences of venereal diseases. It also includes joining in community endeavors to eliminate or minimize prostitution in college communities. Furthermore, a score or more of fraternity publications devoted space to the campaign, publishing either formal articles or editorial encouragement of the movement. Fraternity members, both in college and those who have been graduated into business and professional life, have aided. In many instances lectures have been given by graduate fraternity members to the younger men in the active chapters.

FRATERNITIES ACTIVE IN FIGHTING VENEREAL DISEASES 25 The Surgeon General feels that the assistance thus far given is a fine augury of what is to be expected during the next year from fraternity members. It is recognized that the campaign against venereal diseases- is in accordance with the tenets of Greek letter fraternizing, and the."decent living" keynote of the educational work finds a ready response from all fraternities.

The old canard that "wild oats" had a place in the life of the college man has been proved a pernicious fallacy. Extensive investigation by the Public Health Service has- shown that prostitution is the foremost spreader of gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid. Actual surveys show that 75% to 95% of all prostitutes, both public and clandestine, are infected with one or more of the venereal diseases, that as a class they are poisoned with gonorrhea and syphilis. Consequently, the request that communities repress prostitution is as urgent in a the fight against venereal diseases as would be a call to rid ic a community of mosquito-breeding swamps if a malari epidem were to break out.

From the standpoint of public health venereal diseases may a be said to be epidemic. They are sapping the vigor and stamin of the nation, weakening the American people as a race, and causing a heavy financial drain and untold misery. They cong tribute heavily to the blind and insane asylums and are causin This ve. defecti lly physica thousands of children to be born situation exists largely because of the ignorance on the part of the public as to the dangers and consequences of venereal infection and the necessity of proper medical treatment. The belief has been prevalent that gonorrhea was of slight importance and easily cured by a quack doctor, with the result that on men have not been cured and have transmitted their infecti been ously errone s has Syphili n. childre and to innocent wives spread considered incurable and consequently neglected and e if curabl are s disease both are, to others.

Under the operation of the Selecti y cross-section of the young manhood of the countr was availthat 5% of the able for study. The examinations showed

26

THE STAR AND LAMP

second million men called under the draft were infected With venereal diseases. This 5% did not include any cases where there was not ready evidence of infection, which excluded many cases of latent or passive syphilis or of chronic gonorrhea.

The majority of the men in the army were woefully ignorant of the consequences of venereal diseases, and many believed promiscuous sex relations necessary to health, a belief which the majority of intelligent physicians and laymen now know to be a damaging fallacy. Consequently, rational sex instruction, including accurate information on venereal diseases, was given all army men.

The national program for the control of venereal diseases in civilian communities formally began in July, 1918, and was coordinated closely with the work of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. If it was necessary to make men fit to fight, it was necessary to make them fit to live. Consequently, a law was enacted by congress creating a Division of Venereal Diseases in the Public Health Service, and funds were appropriated to be allotted to the State Boards of Health. To secure federal funds each state had to adopt regulations requiring that venereal diseases be made reportable, that patients be given free treatment, and that efforts be made to repress prostitution and to educate the public in the problems of sex and venereal disease.

At the close of the first year's work, 46 states had adopted the required regulations, secured federal funds, and had organized bureaus in the state departments of health for venereal disease control. Most of these states have made appropriations from state funds for carrying on the work, and are therefore entitled to receive the federal allotment for the year 1919-20.

The work of venereal disease control is classified under medical, educational, and law-enforcement measures.

As a part of the medical work of the first year, nearly 250,000 cases of gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid were reported to the State Departments of Health by physicians, health officers, and clinics. Over 60,000 physicians promised to report their cases and cooperate with the Government in its program. On January 12, 1920, there were 499 free clinics in operation.

As part of the educational activities, pamphlets were distributed, lectures given, exhibits and motion pictures shown.

FRATERNITIES ACTIVE IN FIGHTING VENEREAL DISEASES 27

Intensive work was done through the big industrial establishments of the nation. Employers were asked to secure educational material for their employees, with the result that more than 2,000 firms paid for millions of pieces of educational material. Many of them have made arrangement to have the plant physician or some local doctor give free medical advice and treatment to employees needing it. The importance of handling the problem as an economic one is realized by both industrial and commercial organizations.

The legislative program has resulted in the passage of state laws for the suppression of prostitution and the control of venereal diseases by providing methods of reporting them and facilities for treatment and quarantine. The rehabilitation of prostitutes so that they may take their place in the legitimate life of the community is an important part of this work. Practically every state now has the laws necessary to carry out the program effectively. Many cities have passed ordinances which meet their special needs.

The prevalence of gonorrhea and syphilis is partly due to a false standard of modesty which has made a frank and intelligent discussion of the problems of social hygiene slow and difficult. An enlightened public opinion which will demand the enforcement of the laws and which will be able to act intelligently upon sex problems is essential to their eradication.

For this reason the active assistance of the college fraternity men is desired. Education is necessary if the causes of venereal disease are to be removed and the diseases themselves eradicated. College men did magnificent work as officers of the American Army. This war against venereal diseases also requires their fighting spirit, their courage, their idealism, and their everlasting persistence.

THE STAR AND LAMP ALUMNI CHAPTERS

Never before has the need of Alumni Chapters so strongly impressed the writer as it did just before the convention met in Charlotte during the Christmas holidays. Two or three of us were preparing for the convention thinking possibly we had five or six men here. Finally, we took upon ourselves the duty of mortifying our other brothers of the date of the convention and during our conversation asked if they knew of other Pi Kapps in Charlotte. When all had been called, we found that, to our great surprise, we had fourteen men—eight of whom most of us didn't even know. This, I think, was a deplorable circumstance, but we had to face the cold facts. \\Te gladly went after our heretofore unknown brethren to find that some of them hadn't met a Pi Kapp since he had been in Charlotte.

A real Alumni Chapter was formed as a result and you're going to hear from it. We have an accurate record of every member and expect to keep it like this.

I feel no hesitancy in writing of such conditions as I'm sure exactly the same conditions will be found in other cities. Naturally;the Pi Kapp spirit has been enlivened in all of us. We know we have real friends and--what a pleasure it is.

I shall enumerate a few of the duties which the Charlotte Alumni Chapter shall take upon itself: (I) Assist every chapter, whenever called upon to do so, to look after and help them get any prospective members which they have in view.

(2) To see that TIIE STAR AND LAMP receives at least one article for each issue—besides our regular chapter letter.

(3) To hold meetings at least monthly in order to take up matters pertaining to the fraternity.

(4) To hold banquets or suppers occasionally and mingle together socially.

(5) To notify chapters of students entering their college, whom we think prospective material.

These are our duties as planned at present. We shall add to them gladly upon suggestion.

Possibly a meeting place worries some group of brothers and possibly accounts for so few alumni organizations. The Y. M. C. A. will gladly turn over their conference room at any

JULIAN WALKER WEDS A TENNESSEE LADY A social event of the season was the beautiful home wedding of Miss Sarah C. Owen, the lovely and'accomplished daughter of Judge and Mrs. Wm. A. Owen of this city, and Julian W. Walker, a well-known citizen and attorney of Jesup and Savannah, Ga., which was solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents on Garland Avenue at 8:30 P. Itt., Thursday evening: The color scheme of white and pink was artistically carried out in the house decorations of Columbia roses, palms, ferns, and other evergreens. Prior to the ceremony Miss Ermine McNeely, who presided at the piano, rendered a delightful program of nuptial music with violin obligato by W. A. Halliburton, among the numbers rendered being,"To a Wild Rose," Kreisler's "Caprice," Schubert's "Serenade," and "Traumerie."

A feature of the musical program was a vocal solo by Mrs. J. E. B. Harris of Du Quoin, Ill. The bride entered the drawing room, accompanied by her father, Judge Wm. A. Owen, who gave her away, and preceded by her sister, Miss Lucille Owen, maid of honor, and Mrs. J. E. B. Harris, matron of honor. The groom was accompanied by Ivo McFadden, as best man, the groomsmen being W. L. Owen and Hays E. Owen, brothers of the bride. During the impressive ring ceremony, which was said by Rev. Chas. E. Wauford, pastor of the First Baptist Church, the bride and groom stood beneath a shower of white roses and ferns, with which the electric chandelier was festooned and garlanded, a large bank of palms and ferns forming an improvised altar. The bride was gowned in Duschesse satin with garnitures of pearl and train, her veil' in coronet effect being caught with a chaplet of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses, valley lilies and orchids, and her ornament was a pearl necklace, thegift of the groom. Mrs. J. E. B. Harris, matron of honor, wore pale green soiree taffeta and tulle and carried Ophelia roses. Miss Lucille Owen was charming in pale pink cloth of silver with overdraperies of silver lace and net and trimmings of ostrich, carrying Columbia roses. An informal reception was tended the bridal party by Judge and Mrs. Owen immediately after the ceremony, salads and ices being served. The bride, whose father, Judge Owen, is a member of the State

KAPPA CHAPTER IN BRIEF RELIEF

A tall, blithe, dark-complexioned youth stepped from an overloaded taxi in front of the post office in Chapel Hill one bright sunshiny day in September, 1914. The newcomer hesitated, and seemed to be at a loss in that crowd of strange college boys, wildly greeting each other. But only for a moment, for through the crowd there worked his way a tall raw-boned sort of fellow. He reached the stranger and warmly and cordially grasped his hand. That hand shake was the beginning of Kappa Chapter.

From that moment when Kappa was really though not officially started, the chapter has worked, grown, suffered, and triumphed. And today it is considered the most representative bunch on the campus of the university. The highest honor that can come to a fraternity man at Carolina belongs to a member of Kappa Chapter—the election as president of the Panhellenic council. The men who now constitute the chapter are prominently identified with every phase of campus life.

Four men out of seven who belong to the Senior Order of Golden Fleece, the last year organization of the most reprensentative men in college, are Pi Kappa Phis. From editor-i team, chief of the college newspaper to captain of the football Pi Kapps stand out all along the line of college activities.

the fraternity on the campus at Chapel Hill. It was for fear that the recalling of the first experiences of Kappa at the beginning of the sketch of its life would cast such an atmosphere of "gloomy foreboding" over the story that the kind-hearted brothers would stop reading lest they come to the death scene on of the chapter. It was from no selfish motives that first menti 's Kappa is what or .f was made of the chapter as now enrolled, is attain might r is. Pi Kappa Phi's.

started its career in a blaze of glory but through unkind fates that blaze soon resolved itself into a conflagration of difficulties that threatened to consume the chapter. However, led by the balanced counsel of Quevedo and with the pure grit and determinatiOn of real Pi* Kapps, the chapter moved forward. The first man taken in after the chapter was started was John L. Henderson, who afterwards became Eminent Supreme Grapter, and who has always been a loyal brother belind every move the chapter has made. The next man initiated was Henry G. Harper, Jr., who was elected Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon at the last convention. From then on the chapter grew in numbers and fraternal feeling. Since the chapter was organized 49 men have been initiated.

The question of a house as a chapter home has been a burning one for the chapter almost since the beginning, simply because all the other fraternities at Chapel Hill own their homes. On reading the minutes of the doings of the chapter one is struck with the frequent occurrence of the two words "house proposition." Too many times, accord:ng to the record the discussion of the "house proposition" did not "get very far." But with the way of Pi Kappa, the "Kappas" worked and planned and planned and worked until on November io, 1919 the first thousand dollars was paid on a house. On January I, 1920, $4,000 more was paid and the house was deeded to Kappa Chapter. The plan of securing the money. already paid and of meeting future payments is to be explained in the pages of THE STAR AND LAMP. Kappa has passed the infant stage and is now a "pretty good sized kid," being six years old on November 14, 1920. This brief historical sketch is a meager recording of the main facts in the chapter's life and contains little of the personal element or human interest, but those men of Kappa, who have been a part of its life, can, as they read, fill in what personal experiences that rush into their memories.

EFIRD-CARROLL ENGAGEMENT Judge and Mrs. C. M. Efird have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Carrie Ruth Efird, to John D. Carroll, the wedding to be solemnized during the month of February. No announcement in recent years has called forth in advance so many cordially good wishes.

The bride-to-be is a young woman of prepossessing beauty, which, coupled with her brilliant literary attainments and loveable disposition, has made her a general favorite. Mr. Carroll is one of the leading young lawyers of the Lexington bar, being junior member of the firm of Efird and Carroll. He is originally from Columbia, but has made his home in Lexington for a number of years, and has won for himself a high place in the esteem and affection of the people of this town and community.

The wedding will be one of the brilliant society events of the early Spring in Lexington.—Lexington (S. C.) Journal.

The next issue of THE STAR AND LAMP will contain an account of the wedding of Brother and Sister Carroll. "John D." will long be favorably remembered by the fraternity in general and general good wishes prevail.

SPLENDID PLAN AT NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY

BY ORVIN B. GASTON, Nu Fraternities at Nebraska, having long felt the need for stronger friendship and closer cooperation, have recently inaugurated a system which promises to soon overcome these needs and effect a spirit of unity and brotherhood. The scheme is this: On Tuesday evening of each week, every fraternity sends out seven men to seven other houses as dinner guests. These men who visit the other Greek abodes become acquainted with all the men of the house they visit in addition to the six other guests. Every week another fraternity is added to the list and one dropped, and so the rotation continues until every fraternity has visited and entertained every other fraternity.

This practice has been in use here now for about three months and is proving more than satisfactory. All the Greek societies have entered into the spirit of it and are exerting every effort to make it successful. In a short time all fraternity men will be well acquainted with each other, and the

36

After a few months' training at Camp Jackson he was transferred to Camp Sevier, and thence he was transferred to Company L, 322nd Infantry, Eighty-first Division, and sent to Camp Upton, New York.

Landing in France on August 18th, he was again transferred, this time to the Forty-second Division, the now famous Rainbow Division. With this immortal division he saw much active battle service until the latter part of September, when he was severely gassed, and sent to base hospital No. 45 for treatment.

ALPHA CHAPTER, COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Rooms: LIBERTY BANK BUILDING, CHARLESTON, S. C. Meeting: 8 P. M., every Wednesday Active Members 13 Pledges o Alumni Members 6o Dear Friends and Brothers: The most interesting bit of news that we have to impart at this time is the announcement that our alumni brothers have formed an Alumni Alpha Chapter. Brother Hampton Mixson was elected Archon, and practically every Pi Kappa Phi brother in Charleston has become a member. This big brother chapter of ours uses our rooms and in many ways cooperates with us in making our chapter true to its purposes. We often have joint meetings and social gatherings at which times the best fraternal spirit prevails, for brothers have come to know each other in a personal way. It should be a source of great pleasure to every Pi Kappa Phi to know that the men in whose minds the idea of our noble fraternity was first conceived are once more actively gathered together in fraternal union. Brothers Mixson and Mosimann, two of the three founders of Alpha, are identified with the new chapter.

Everything is flourishing with us. Alpha Chapter this year includes the men who are taking the leading part in the activities of the college both athletic and social. We feel confident that our faculty looks upon fraternities in a very kindly light. Nothing could have won this favorable attitude save a clean and honest fraternity membership. We prize our security even the more since the receipt of the news which must have been most depressing to all fraternity men; namely, the rejection by the South Carolina legislature of a bill proposing to reestablish fraternities in the colleges controlled by the state. Nothing but an ignorance of the true fraternity life could have defeated the measure. Alpha and, as far as we know, all other Pi Kappa Phi chapters in South Carolina did all in their power to bring about its success, but the opposition could not

be overcome.

Since our last message to THE STAR AND LAMP we have had an election of officers. The results were as follows: C. L. Guyton, Archon; C. S. Dendy, Grapter ; C. P. Ryan Thesaurophulax; B. W. Bowen, Chaplain; J. H. Easterly, Historian; and J. H. Arthur, Thurepanioktes.

In each case the choice has been wisely made, and as a result the affairs of Alpha are in their usual good order.

Alpha sends her best wishes to all other chapters, Most fraternally, J. H. EASTERLY, Correspondent.

GAMMA CHAPTER, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HOUSE ADDRESS: 2614 DWIGHT WAY, BERKELEY, CAL. Dear Brothers: When the United States declared war in 1917, all but four members of Gamma joined the big fight in one capacity or another. This made it necessary to close the house, for which we are very glad. The fraternity stands better financially probably than any house on the campus, for this reason.

But the war is over, and, as Pi Kappa Phi always has and always should do things that count, we have come back with a wallop. With many of the old men back, several of whom were officers the ball has been started rolling, and shortly we will have our old standing on the campus, which by the way, is one we have always had reason to be proud.

As are the thirty-seven fraternities on the campus, it is necessary to be always on the alert and to put things over in order to maintain that regard for which we have always strived. In the interfraternity baseball series we surprised even ourselves by managing to stay three games.

This was done with very little baseball material to draw from.

The freshmen are entering into the campus activities with the true California spirit, and we are now represented on the Glee Club and Soccer. It seems probable that we will also be represented in baseball, crew, and track.

Scholarship, something that should not be overlooked has been kept up to standard, and we have every reason to believe that we can improve it next semester.

Our most unselfish and beloved Archon has made it possible for us to own our house in a short time. He generously advanced the money for the purchase of the place, and has put it up to us as a business proposition. We intend to take advantage of it immediately.

Gamma wishes all her sister chapters the same success in the future that she has had in the past, and it is our sincere wish to be favored with a visit from any members who may journey to this part of the Golden State.

Fraternally, ALBERT C. HOLLER, Correspondent.

than that: "We are going over the top with everything that was passed on at the convention." But watch your step! Don't be so willing to pass the things then leave it all to your good brothers to carry through.

It is going to take the work of every one of us—whether alumni or active members—to keep our fraternity up to its standards. Under no consideration should a Pi Kappa Phi be allowed to loaf on the job until he has sent us one of his sons to act in his stead.

Zeta is feeding her goats on tin cans for our six pledges which we are allowed by the college to initiate after February t. We expect to have them in our fraternal bound within the next few days. On account of quarantine and other hindrances we have been unable to initiate them before this. We, now, introduce them to you in order of their extreme good looks. Mr. Leeland Riders, of Mt. Grogan, S. C., a very, very, handsome young fellow, with such striking features that the worst of vamps are easy for him. We expect in Leeland many great things.

Next out of order comes Mr. Bill Beggs, of Spartanburg, S. C. Bill has a bright future for a basketball star. He is never known to miss a dance, and is liked by all the ladies—especially so by one of whom we know. Ask Bill!

In order, again comes, Mr. J. D. Parler. "J. D." stands for better football and less influenza. "J. D." saw a good season of football last fall, making the varsity squad. "J. D." is very popular with his college mates, which was shown when he was elected vice-president of the freshman class. In "J. D." we say that every phase of college will find something of which to be proud. Without order, follows, Mr. George McGee, of Spartanburg, S. C. George Washington always told the truth, so does George McGee. If George said it we know that it is bound to be so and that it came from a very good source. George is very fond of the ladies, and never lets his studies interfere with his dancing. George, "May your memory never be green among us."

Then we present Mr. Ed Nash of Spartanburg, S. C. Ed had a brother with us last year—Brother Boyd Nash. We expect Ed to uphold Boyd's reputation. Little Ed was on the basketball squad this year and made a good showing. We expect for him a bright future.

Last but far from least, we offer for your approval Mr. Garwood Jaynes, of Walhalla, S. C. Garwood, a man of few words, is a boy with a girl. How does he do it? Well, it's just like this, it is his striking personality and his good looks. But all jokes aside, Garwood is a good student and is thought well of by his classmates. According to Hoyle "everything improves with age—excepting women." Thus we predict for Garwood. Garwood, when you come to the river may some good Fortune accompany you safely over.

Bro. J. W. Rouke, Jr., of Lambda was a visitor for a few days on the campus last week.

Brother "Slick" Swygert did not return after Christmas. He saw fit to keep in close touch with Ili by going to Trinity College, N. C. He is there affiliated with Mu Chapter. 'We miss "Slick" very much.

We wish for him the very best of luck at Trinity.

Pledges I Active Members 20 Alumni 70

Eta returned nine old men at the beginning of the fall term but because of the closed rushing season inaugurated at Emory this year we were unable to initiate any freshmen until after Christmas.

Open rushing season began November 2 and lasted through November xi, each of the nine fraternities at Emory having one day, drawn by lot, in which to entertain prospective members.

Our day of rushing came on the fifth and we entertained our prospects with a banquet at Iota's chapter house, which they very hospitably loaned to us for the occasion (as our house was not completed at the time). Brothers J. W. Setze, E. S. G., Eugene H. Sanders, an Eta alumni, Bartolo Rodriguez, Iota Archon, and a few others gave short but interesting talks. Everyone enjoyed the evening immensely.

We pledged thirteen men and initiated them immediately after the Christmas holidays. We wish to thank Pi and Iota Chapters for the use of their houses in initiating these men. Let us introduce to all Pi Kappa Phi's our new men: E. M. Bond, Dainelville, Ga.; W. R. Moran, Milledgeville, Ga.; J. F. Meacham, Grantville, Ga.; J. E. White, Branchville, S. C.; C. W.

Wilcox, Lumber City, Ga.; Jimmie Simms, Roanoke, Ala. Eta Chapter was highly pleased by the report of our delegates to the convention. We are looking forward to a great development in Pi Kappa Phi the coming year.

We congratulate Brother A. B. Powell, Jr., for his successful efforts in getting a chapter at Washington and Lee University and we are sure that it will grow rapidly.

In the R. 0. T. C. we are represented by Brother Stevens, 1st lieut., Brothers Moran and Meacham, first sergeants, and several corporals.

Brothers Bond and Rape are on the Glee Club, in the band Brothers Stevens, Bond and Partridge, and in the mandolin club Brother Jackson.

Brothers Pittman, Meacham, and Beasely represented us in football.

Brother Pittman being captain and Brother Beasley manager of the team.

We have on the varsity track team Brothers Jackson, Pittman, Rape, Williams, and Smith. On the Panhellenic Council we have Brothers Overstreet and Stevens.

the chapter have subscribed for shares of stock in the company and this has enabled us to purchase the property. The active chapter will pay rent to the Stock Company instead of to an outsider and in this way the company will be able to pay interest on the share of stock and be able, finally to buy up all the shares of stock so that the house will be in the hands of the active chapter. The house is now occupied as a boarding house and the present occupant has a lease on the property until the first of September, 1920. We will move into the house at the opening of the next school year. When we move into this house we will have the largest and best equipped fraternity house in the university.

We have been hampered in our growth, to some extent, in our present house which is very small and in no respects fitted for a fraternity house. In our new home we expect to grow even more rapidly than we have in our present quarters, and Kappa expects to report great progress and to continue her part in upholding the reputation of Pi Kappa Phi. We thought that it might be of interest to the other chapters to see just what Kappa is doing and what type of men we have in the active chapter. It is with this end in view that I give below the records of the upperclassmen in the active chapter. (Juniors, seniors, and postgraduates now in school.) We think that it would be of great interest if all the chapters would send in records of their upperclassmen in the active chapter. We say upperclassmen because they are the only ones who have been in school long enough to prove their real ability. If we do this I think that it will show just what big men we have in Pi Kappa Phi.

NU CHAPTER. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA CHAPTER HOUSE: 1522 S STREET, LINCOLN, NEB. Pledges 9 Active members 37 Dear Brothers in Pi Kappa Phi: With the holiday season over, Nu Chapter has turned into the home stretch to finish up the semester with colors flying high. It is the sincere wish of every member of Nu Chapter that every member of every other chapter had a very joyful holiday season and that success and happiness attend them throughout 1920. Let us all strive to make 1920 a banner year for Pi Kappa Phi. Nu Chapter is trying hard to win the Greek scholarship cup this year.

We were third among the national Greeks last year and have never been lower than fifth out of some twenty fraternities. We are exerting every effort to make first place this time and all indications are exceedingly favorable to our success. We consider this an honor of which we may well be proud.

Brother W. L. Simpson has returned from the convention filled with pep and enthusiasm which he has instilled into all the other members of the chapter. Nu Chapter is well satisfied with the actions of the convention and believes that it will mark the beginning of an era of great progress for Pi Kappa Phi. We are heartily in accord with the policy of expansion as endorsed by the convention and are very glad to learn of some prospective new chapters. We hope to be able to secure several good chapters in this section of the country. We are rather handicapped here by our isolation from the other chapters but are not letting the matter worry us to any great extent. We are looking forward to the day when Pi Kappa Phi shall be as strong and united in the West and middle-west as she is in the South.

Nu Chapter is making her mark in university activities this year.

Everyone is aware that Pi Kappa Phi is on the campus and we are making ourselves heard in all matters. Brother Kenneth McCandless has recently been elected a member of the Vikings, a junior honorary society. This is an honor which several fraternities of many years standing at Nebraska have not attained. Brother McCandless has always been very prominent in university circles and is indeed worthy of the honor bestowed upon him. Last year he held a high position on the staff of the Daily Nebraskan, the greatest college daily'in the West.

At present we are planning a campaign for president of the senior class. Brother George Driver is slated to make the race and should have little trouble in winning. Driver is one of our older men who has returned to the fold after helping win the war. He was overseas nearly two years. For several months he was stationed in Berlin, where he

had many interesting experiences. Brother Driver has been Business Manager of the Daily Nebraskan and at present he is on the staff of the Cornhusker and a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet., In athletic'S"We' are exceedingly well represented. We now have three men on the basketball *squad, all of whom will be letter men.

Nebraska this year has the strongest basketball team she has ever had and will play some of the biggest schools in the country. Brother "String" Jungmeyer is holding down a regular berth at center and prominent sport critics rate him as one of the best centers ever seen in the Missouri valley. Walter Jungmeyer and Johnny Collins are also appearing in fine form. Collins has been a conspicuous figure in Nebraska basketball for several years. Omaha papers have characterized him as the cleverest player ever developed in that city.

Nu Chapter is already looking forward to the next convention at Berkeley and intends to be well represented at that meeting.

Wishing all the chapters the same success which Nu expects, Sincerely yours, ORVIN B. GASTON, Correspondent.

NU ALUMNI NOTES The alumni of Nu Chapter have just completed the organization of an alumni, association which will be of great help to the active chapter.

Brother Deyo Crane is president of the association, Brother Edward Partridge, vice-president, and Brother Floyd Pegler, secretary and treasurer.

The alumni association is at present heartily cooperating with the active chapter in the matter of purchasing a new chapter house and in the near future we hope to be able to announce that Nu Chapter has a fine new home all her own.

Brother Grant Watkins is now a prosperous tiller of the fertile Red Willow county soil. He is located near McCook, Nebraska.

Brother Carl Lessenhop recently accepted an attractive offer of the Lincoln branch of Armour & Co. "Stub" takes to the meat packing business like a duck to water and we are expecting great things of him.

Brother Deyo Crane is now connected with the E. E. Gustin Co., wholesale leather merchants of Lincoln. Brother Crane served as a captain in the army for nearly two years, only recently receiving his discharge.

Brother Cliff Simpson is attending Northwestern University this year.

He is specializing in certain lines which were not available at Nebraska.

Brother Reuben Claussen is now engaged in the shoe business with his father and brother in Beatrice, Neb. Claussen is in love with the foot gear business and says the profits are very enticing.

infused a spirit into the new men who have grasped at the opportunity to show themselves true Pi Kapps and all evidence points to the fact that in the years to follow the fraternity here will not only retain its prominence among the other fraternities but will enjoy among themselves such benefits as only true brotherly love and fellowship can engender.

This is perhaps due to the fact that we have a house this year where the whole fraternity takes its meals together, being thrown together three times every day, and to the excellent new material which has entered our ranks.

One of the most enjoyable and interesting occasions which our chapter has attended was the installation of Rho Chapter at Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va. We went to Lexington fifteen men strong and came back fifteen men "stronger" for the men heard and saw in a broader vision what Pi Kappa Phi means to us all. The splendid reception which we received from the men who have become the nucleus of the Rho Chapter indicated their enthusiasm in making their chapter a success. Even though it is the "baby" chapter of the fraternity it is made up of real men, everyone of whom Pi Kappa Phi can be justly proud. The men who make up the new chapter are Brother Powell, Eta '16, Brothers Robbins, Davis, Milburne, and Rutherford.

Coming back to the work of Xi, we have taken in several new men ourselves since our last letter and we wish to introduce'to you Brothers E. G. Ould, '22, Roanoke, Va.; E. E. Dabbins, '22, Roanoke, Va.; W. C. Price,'23, Salem, Va.; and B. G. Garrett, '23, Rocky Mount, Va. They are all excellent men and will mean much to the success of the fraternity.

In athletics we continue to be represented. Brothers Muse and Corner are the captain and manager, respectively, of the basketball squad, while Brother D. G. Chapman and Muse are captain and manager, respectively, of the baseball nine. On the varsity basketball team Brothers Muse, Corner, J. D. Chapman, and Garis made letters. Brothers Corbin, J. D. Chapman, D. G. Chapman, Muse, and Garis are basketball letter men.

Brothers Fix and D. G. Chapman have won the Panathlon Medal in track.

Brothers Rush and Erb have been very enthusiastic since they returned from the Charlotte convention. These along with Brothers Lifts, Ould, and W. C. Chapman are always on hand when the music starts for a dance. Brother Moore makes music himself, being business manager of the Glee Club and one of its "whining" tenors.

The winner will be given a silver loving cup and it may be well to say that we have already dusted off a place for the cup.

Interfraternity baseball will start about April t and we are expecting to put out a winning team. We will have several players on the varsity team and this will eliminate them from the fraternity team.

The officers for this year are as follows: George M. Grant, Archon; Joe Starnes, Grapter ; George Cornish; Thesaurophulax; Gordon Barnard, Historian; Mayfield Ward, Chaplain; Paul Hooten, Thurepanioiktes.

Our representatives, Brothers Herman Burchfield and George Grant, reported a great convention and brought back many things of interest to us. We were well pleased with the election of National officers and intend to give them our best cooperation.

During the past few months we were glad to have a visit from Brothers Joe McLure and John Havis. Brother Havis is now E. S. Historian. Brother Arthur Johnson from the medical department of the University of Mobile was also up to see us a short time ago.

Omicron sends brotherly greetings to all the chapters and wishes each of them a prosperous year.

Fraternally yours in Pi Kappa Phi, GEORGE M. GRANT, Correspondent.

Bros„ J. P. Wilson and Clifford Sims are monitors in the University buildings.

Pi is unusuall-y fortunate in having Eta and Iota so close and we enjoy their visits very much. It has been the plan of all three chapters to have two men from each chapter attend the other chapter meetings and in this way we obtain many good ideas.

We are delighted in our chapter-house and have been very successful in its management. We have tried the idea of having "tea dances" and it has proved very successful, and we are all looking forward to the Pi Kappa Phi dance which is to be given at the Capital City Club on March 5.

Pi wishes the best of luck to all her sister chapters and extends a most hearty invitation to each and every Pi Kappa Phi to visit us.

Fraternally yours, FRANK K. SIMS, Correspondent..

RHO CHAPTER, WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY LEXINGTON, VA. Well, fellow Fratres, the Pi Kappa Phi faculty has a new baby.

Yes, little Rho sprang into existence on Saturday, February 21, 1920, at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va. Baby in this case is a collective noun representing five men: H B. Powell,'22, Eta, 1918; S. J. Robbins, '20; L.'W. Milbourne, '22; W. H. Rutherford, '23, and L W. Davis,'23, who are proud to be with Pi Kappa Phi. The afternoon of the day was devoted to the official installation and presentation of charter at the end of which a banquet was served.

Everything worked out in fine style, due no doubt to the great help and fine work of the installing officers, Brothers J. W. Setze, Jr., and H. G. Hooper; the representatives of Kappa Chapter present, Brothers Wm. Brand and Chas. Hazelwurst and Xi Chapter, also present.

We are indeed proud to have Xi as a sister chapter and only lament the fact that we are the only two chapters in old Virginia.

Understand fellow Fratres that we're the youngest and probably the smallest, but take it from us we aren't going to be the slowest. This baby will soon be old for its size, and large for its age.

We wish to assure you that we are both glad and proud to be with you in every way, and that large quantities of hard Work will be invested for our success.

We have no house as yet but our hunt for one is keen. We expect a round up in Short order. Remember that you will always be welcome and don't forget to pay us a visit.

Yours most fraternally, F. W. MILBOURNE, Historian.

employ a field agent to peddle A 1 I. badges among college students generally. In the twelve years since I formulated the present policy we have advanced from two to twenty chapters, or i,000%, and from 26 to 696 active members, or 2,677% and not a single mistake has been made, either in the rank of the institution selected or the personnel of the chapter created."

The Shield of I. K 4, informs us in an article entitled "Phi Psis in National Affairs" that, in addition to the President of the United States, Phi Kappa Psi boasts five senators, five congressmen and two governors. Also the Attorney General of the United States, the Ambassador to Great Britain, and three United States Judges.

From The Phi Gamma Delta we lifted this article. It is well headed. Somehow it seems that in years past the alumni almost had to be courted—when, for a fact, they are the ones who should do the courting. The best part of a man's fraternity life begins after he has left his Alma Mater. Read this article and, in unison with the editor and Henry Harper, say Amen.

LEAP YEAR FOR THE ALUMNI It looks like a big year for Phi Gamma Delta and like leap year for the alumni. They are organizing Alumni Associations, Graduate Chapters, proposing to the Archons for charters and being accepted. The lucky men in the latter class are from Birmingham, Ala.; Omaha, Neb.; Quincy, Ill.; and Syracuse, N. Y. Rochester has a thriving association; the Harvard chapter shows new and abundant life; Hannibal, Keokuk, and Louisiana, Ill., are becoming restless for action; Muncie and Crawfordsville, Ind., cannot be held back long; Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Pa., will not be denied an association.

Never before in fraternity circles has there been such tremors of loyalty, such a rallying of alumni.

Say brother, do you live in a dead town? Ask "Phi Gam Charlie" how to depress the undertaker. He knows how it's done.

Get together, organize, and make "Alumni Support" the igeo Indoor Sport.

What Fiji alumni have already done has made the eyes of the other fraternities bulge out with surprise. What they will accomplish in the near future will not only make them bulge more but also turn green with envy.

Every fraternity man knows what such support means and what it may mean for the future. For us it means better chapters, a stronger national organization and first place.

THE STAR AND LAMP THE HIGH COST OF LEISURE!

The high cost of living is not the only problem before America, according to Vice-president Thomas R: Marshall. The high cost of leisure is also a menace he says. "One of the old ideas of the republic was that the limit of striving for success was the limit of capacity and endurance," declared the Vice-president recently. "The real evil which we are confronting today is the high cost of leisure. I speak in a censorious way because I am myself the laziest of the lazy.

"I only beg the thoughtful consideration of younger men who have the good of the republic at heart, seriously to consider the problem as to whether the only way in which to meet the increasing difficulties of American life is not by additional striving to produce more, to earn more, to economise tnore, and to save more."

Each American citizen has it well within his power to follow the vice-president's advice, no matter what his condition. No matter what he is able to earn, whether small sum or great, the securities of the government, Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates, Certificates of Indebtedness, and Liberty Bonds give opportunity to saye at least a part of his reward of labor.—The Emerson Monthly.
