Atlanta! Nuf Sed Get the baby's face washed. Dust up the t:rne-worn "fish and soup." Grab your betterhalf by the arm and dash for the ra::Iway station.

"Ticket for Atlanta."

Now here else, mister, for the "Land of Peaches" should be the destination of every loyal Pi Kapp in the realm of our brotherhood during the da.Ys of December 26-29. ~he twelfth biennial convention of the Fratermty Will be in session and there is every indication that the greatest conclave in the history of the fraternity will be staged on those days.

Every care has been exercised by the committee of loyal brothers in Atlanta and entertainment galore, sightseeing, dances, smokers, and banquets, has been planned. In addit:on there will be the regular sessions of the convention where the great body of the fra t ernity is reflected.

Attendance upon a national convention is a duty that will be a pleasure once that duty is Performed. Ask the man who has attended Hevious conventions.

Be sure that you have the necessary railWay certificate, which will insure you a special rate to and from Atlanta. Then pull out the battered suitcase, shove in a few collars and hit the ball. "Atlanta bound."

Is It Right?

We are beginning to doubt the wisdom of the plan to launch a new fraternity through the merger of widely scattered locals.

The formation of this fraternity was scheduled the day before the meeting of the Interfraternity Conference in New York, November 30. Thirty-two locals agreed to send representatives to the meeting planned for the purpose of setting forth upon the fraternal sea another bark.

We are wondering how the locals, in different sections of the country and with different ideas and ideals, are ever going to be welded into an organization of common aims and purposes. The organization of a fraternity, especially one as large as the one just for med, cannot be accomplished by a "simple twist of the wrist," nor by the muttering of mysterious nothings. "Presto" will not fun ction and while there may be a semblance of an organization there is in reality just the locals with the same Greek letters on the thresholds.

The idea of the men behind the organization was well meant. They are trying to render a service both to the fraternity system and to the men outside national Greek letter fraternities.

But there is a great chance for this move to be a boomerang. As we see it there is such a vast amount of work to be done in making the organ:zation what it should be for the credit of itself and the sys.tem it is to become a part that no man or group of men wi.ll be humanly able to go through with it.

There is the molding of 32 different groups into a unified whole. These groups are scatter,ed from cot~.st to coast and the dissemi nation of common aims and ideals is a task of more than giant proportions.

The possibilities of danger to the fraternity and to the fraternity system are great. It may be an organization of numbers but the chance of :t being a "weak sister" in fraternity fundamentals is too great.

We are beginning to agree with Mr. Levere, of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who says that these locals ought to be added to fraternities now organized and struggling for a steadier plane.

The major::ty of present-day fraternities have come to reaEze that expansion is a policy that must be undertaken and while no well-regulated fraternity w ith a pinch of self-respect wishes chapters for the mere sake of numbers, there are many fraternities which would be glad to receive chapters where requirements and standards are met.

A more liberal policy of such expansion and the absorption of more locals by nationals, to our m: nds, is the better road to travel. ~·~

eA Special P Ieasure An unexpected pleasure has been provided for delegates to the Atlanta convention in the arrangement for the appearance of Brother Thurlow Lieurance, Nu, world-famous composer and interpreter of Indian music, who will be heard in concert on one of the afternoons of the convention.

Brother Lieurance and his wife will give a -concert of rare beauty and every P i Kapp in Atlanta should embrace the opportunity of hearing one of the most distinguished members of the Fraternity.

At the sacrifice of meeting profitable engagements Brother Lieurance has announced

the Day

Nineteen years ago, in the quiet cloisters of the College of Charleston, three men, gath· ered and motivated by the spirit of brotherlY feeling toward each other, decided to give to the:r fraternity a concrete e·x pression.

There was Pi Kappa Phi born.

Today, after the years have come and gone, that same spirit of fraternity which led those three men to the plane where they called each other brother, still burns strong and clear: In the hearts and minds of brothers of Pl Kappa Phi, that flame of true brotherhood gleams bright.

December 10 is the date on which those f~rst brothers of our order agreed to pledge "their lives and their fortunes" to the estab· lishment of Pi Kappa Phi. To us on the an· niversary of this day comes the privilege and the honor of observing the day with appro· priate ceremonies.

Let all the undergraduate chapters and alumni chapters, gather in the name of our founders and rededicate their lives to the Star and Lamp. Let us honor the sacred memorY of the departed brother and pledge anew to the other two living founders onr undying interest in Pi Kappa Phi. And from these meetings, regardless of hoW simple, let us go with a new vis:on of what Pi Kappa Phi has undertaken and with a firmer determination to so live that those first brothers can truly say, "and he is one of us."

The L"ni\'ersity of 1\ orth Carolina came into the 130th year of its ex istence on September 20th with a n enrollm ent of more than 2,000, an in· crease of 200 over the attenda nce at the same time last yea r and doub le the enrollm ent ten \'ears ago.

CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATIONS POSTPONED

BETA AT 0 . A. C.

Consideration of the appli cation of Phi Pi I hi and Phi Mu Delta for memb rship in the Interfraternity Conference was postponed at the recent exect,Jtive committ-ee meeting on the suggestion of James Duane Livingston of the committee on membersh ip, in order to give further time to obtain information regarding the two fraternitie's .

Beta Theta Pi has installed its eighty-fourth active chapter at Oregon Agricultural College, where the house-owning local, Kappa Theta Rho, 1918, has been chartered. Oregon noW has seventeen national general fraternity chapters, all instituted since 1915.

Alpha Tau Omega chartered a chapter at the college in 1882, but this became inactiv and was not revived until 1916.

Here is a va t difference between respectters, like crystals about a nucleus.

A typical result of the desire of under lecture rooms; but human nature is too strong; graduate members to keep the approval of their graduate brothers is seen in the fact that groups of some sort are inevitable.

their graduate members and rapidly degenerated.

Still another effect was that, there being no mean s of di sti nguishing the members of any fraternity, the faculty could exercise no healthfu l influ ence upon them through their brethren . Moreover, a general repress ive policy defeats its own purpose, and deprives the college authorities of the power to rid them se lves of any particular fraternity that is really evil. For, when an attempt is made to drive out all the fraternities, all will stand by each other to the last. They will simply concea l their badges, and band themselve s together as a wretched, occult, demoralizing power. On the other hand, if each fraternity is allowed to exist upon its m erits, any one thought by a college faculty to be injurious can be easi ly driven out. It is one of the simplest things imaginabl e. I have myself thus driven out an old and widespread fraternity, which was doing injury to its members. 'l'hi s was done by giving a simple public statement of the rea sons why young men should k eep out of it. A ll the other organizations, and, indeed, the whole body of students, reco gnized the ju stice of the action and fully acquiesced. On another occasion, the m ere threat of such a public denunciation had the effect to reform a large and influential fraternity.

And now, as to the arguments used against the fraternities: There are several entitled to careful attention. The first generally is, that they are secret. Regarding this, I think it may be ju st ly said that their secrecy is rather nominal than r eal. There are few executive officers in our larger institution s of learning who have not a fair knowledge of the interior organization and working of tho se with which they have to do. Their secrecy is ge nerally nothing more than keeping from the public the motto for which their letters stand, and the direction of their literary activity. I confe ss myself unable to sec how any question can be raised as to their right to reticence on these points. An eminent American li v inc, the head of one of the largest New England universities, whose wisdom and wit have de-

lighted many of us, speaking upon this question, said: "If I unite with a dozen friends once a week for social or literary improvement, I know of no law, human or divine, that compels me to give an account of my doings to Tutor Tidball." And on this ycry question of secrecy, as a si mpl e matter of fact, membership of college fraternities seem frequently to exhaust the desire of yo ung men for entrance into secret organizations and to keep them from enteri ng the greater sccrcl societies of the world at large. A bitter enemy of the great secret benevolent societies of the country once compared them to the smallpox; if this be ju st, entrance into the college fraternities might be considered, perhap s as a vacci nation.

Again it is objected that literary exercises in these chapters of twenty or thirty men sta nd in the way of the more important exercises of the larger open literary societies.

This is, probably, to a considerable extent, true. Yet, in ju stice, it mu st be said thal some other causes have clone much to weaken the large open societies. They h ave declined in a very striking manne1· at one of our greater universities, where the college fraternities have hardly had any existence; still this charge had more truth in it than any man devoted to our hi g her education could wish.

But it is an evil which can be removed: half the lung power expanded by college officers, in declaiming ag·ainst the fraternities would, if exercised in favor of the open literary so· cieties, obviate it. The literary exercises of the various chapters could be made to strengthen the exercises of the open societies, becoming an introduction qnd preparation for them.

Again, it is said that the fraternities take part in college politics. This is true. 'theY seem to hold a relation to college politics like that held by the guilds to the mediaeval municipalities. But after all, is this not sim · ply one form of an evil which, in so me form. is, as things go at present, inevitable ? Would not cliques, clubs, parties, and intrigues exercise an influence in stud ent elections if no fraternities existed? Bring together a mere

Surely then that community will receive something like the benefit th at nob Fletcher himself would have been to them if he had li ved.

1 trust that you will catch the spiri t of thi~ hastily prepared arti cle. To me, the Fletcher l\'l'emori al is a living being, pulsating. 'l'hc memory of Bob Fletcher ha s been transformed into something tangible, a memory that can neve r die.

e 1fT'S an old say ing that when Greek meets Jl Greek they start a restaurant, but if they happen to be P i Kapp alumni their first thoughts are of the good old clays spent within the walls of their Alma Mater; the next is that ever-present desire of a get-together. and finally the organization of a chapter.

Such a chance meeting of two Pi Kappa Phi all\mn i is in a large measure responsible for the organization of an alumni chapte r in Bristol.

This chapter is to be known as the llristol, 'J'enn. -Va .. alumni chapter, the first in the sta le of Tennessee, the second in Virgin ia. \Vith the same old vim and spirit that has made Pi Kappa Phi the foremost organ ization among college students, these two brothers. call ed the boys out of the woods for a littl e feed and get-together, being full of food and enthu siasm it was unanimou sly dec id ed to form an alumni chapter. Dy the old method of "Let Geo rge Do It," nrother H. E. hrb was se lected to draw up the petition which after being signed was sent on its journey with much hope that we would be gran ted a charter at an early date .

After we were assured that a charter would be forthcoming, at so much per no discount for cash, a business meeting was called for September R, to be followed by a dinner dance as a somewhat suitable celebration of our good fortune in sec uring a charter so soon. ,\t thi. meeting Brother Erb was elected Arc hon.

MEGA has been awarded the Alford Scholarship Trophy for the first semester of 1922-23.

This trophy is presented for competition among the national social fraternities at Purdue and is awarded each semester to the organization making the highest average. It i to become the permanent property of the fraternity winning it three times.

The fact that it has already been twice awarded to Alpha Gamma Rho has not served in the least to les sen Omega's letermination to win the trophy 路for keeps"; indeed this has only tended to strengthen her purpose and urge her to do better things.

Since winning the trophy a decided change in the attitude and morale has been noticed in the lllen of Omega. Before they kept at their tudies more or less as a matter of duty; but now they have a purpose, a goal in view and are striving hard to make the Alford Trophy the permanent property of Omega Chapter.

Omega found herself with a considerable adVantage in competing for this trophy because she had only three Freshmen during the first semester. The records at Purdue show that fully one-half of th e freshmen make such a low grade during their first semester that they are Obliged to leave before the end of the year.

DE.\R BRoTm~R YouNG:

t\ ll this rumpu s about Atlanta ha s fill ed me with the fever too, but to no avail. Ask any recent engi neering g raduate (2 yea rs out) if he can afford such a trip-we can't even get enough together to get marri ed on, much as we wou ld li ke to take our wives to th e con venti on and let M r s. Rice take care of th em .

More than many other up here wou ld I like to come to the con venti on, for I have had the privilege of g raduating from the Sewanee Mi li tary Academy, Sewanee, Tenn., after a fouryear course, and have stopped off in Atlanta four times on two round tri ps to F lorid a. So, my spirit wi ll be there when all "good Pi Kapps" get together.

I'd like to have printed in the STAn AND LAM!' a request to hea r from any and all Pi Kapps who attend ed the Sewanee Military Academy in the yea rs 19 12- 16 (Ben 路w ilkins, o f Tull ahoma and Cha ttanooga, who owes me a letter included ).

I noti ce in the Pre-Convention N umber about telephon es in tlanta w hi ch interests me as a telephone man. Here in Chi we have between 675,000 and 700,000 subscribers. The district [ cove r has over 36,000 subscribers. I a m responsibl e for the drawing up of plans, securing of data and estimating th e costs of all work to keep the poles, w ire and cabl e in working conditi on. Not a pole in this area of 160 sq uare mil es of "Chi cago's Toughest" can be moved , straig htened or replaced without an order from me. 1 must look over all new bui ldings and a rrange for cable. A ny tim e the Assignment Department ca n't compl ete an order. they call on me. A ny time any one wants a pole moved from a ga rage door- I go out, rain , snow or shin e and in vestigate. In my littl e fli vve r (com pany owned ) T make trips every a fternoon covering six to t wenty stops scattered all over my territory- it' s g ri ef, g ri ef, grief, all the time. And yet, T can't afford a trip to th e "Bigges t Convention. '' Shades of l lasterers and Lathers with th eir $20. $25 per day!?!

T hat's ambiti on for you!

Best wishes and kindest regards.

Nash, the diminutive, who so capably and well handl ed the chapter 's finan ces, is likewise sadl y mi ssed.

XI HAS EIGHT GRIDDERS Roanoke Col/rl}r

T

HE Roanoke College football team is having an unusually succes. fnl season.

Xi feels that she can be justly proud of this team for the captain and seven others arc Pi Kapp . Captain Caldwell is back in his old position at quarterback, Ould at right end , rotter at left tackle, Giesen at right guard . \ \ 'hite at right quard, Davies at right tackle, JJ urt at full back, and Hutherford at half back. They have already won the right to play \\'illiam and Mary for the championship of the colleges of Virginia and North Carolina.

Hrother Don Conk failed to return this fall and is much missed on the team and by the chapter.

Though the basketball season has not started we are sure of having Brothers Ruth rforcl and 1Turton the Varsity. Xi's men ar taking their usual active part in all campus activities.

Brother Francis Davies has been appointed to represent Roanoke at the ~ational Y. :\r. '. 1\.

Convention in Indianapolis.

Se\'era l weeks ago Xi entertained a number of freshmen at a theatre party. Everyone spent a pleasant evening and it i felt that there is some very promising material in the present freshman class.

Plans are almost comp leted for the cstabli . hment of a monthly chapter paper. The first issue is expected about the first of December.

Though the social side of life has been rather ~\eglecte~, . the chapter expects to have a big l hanksgtvmg dance on the thirtieth of N ovcmber.

Xi is glad to have Brother ''Duke" Deister. of R anoke, back on the job this year. Enthnsiasm is running high and it is hoped that the whole chapter wi ll be in Atlanta Christmas.

We have eleven pledges-C. \\ '. Sherlock, of Augusta, Ga.; G. S. Johnson, of . \u gusta, Ga.; C. TT. Griffin, of Rome, Ga.; Ed I'Iayer, of Americus, Ga.; Glenn 11agley, of Cumming, Ca.; T. G. \Vare, of Atlanta, Ga.; Jack Curran, of Atlanta, Ga.; \Vinston Carroll. of Atlanta, Ga.; \\'. R Bentley, of Atlanta, Ga.; 1\. S. Varnedoe, of Savannah, Ga.; E. S. Lipst路omb, of Cumming, Ga. Curran, Johnson, Carroll and Sherlock being members of the fresh 路 lllan football temn, which has not been scored on this season. \V e will be unable to initiate any of these men Ltntil after Chri stmas examinations, due to the l'an-H ell enic ruling of the niversity. IT oweve r, by staying over until a ftcr the exams IVe hope to bestow upon them the necessary qualifications to permit them lo share the good limes we arc going to have at the Convention. 'rhe varsity football team is headed in a '路ga llop" for th championship, having lost only one Rame, it being to Yale.

Saturday, the tenth, was l lomecoming Day, also the Georgia and Virginia footh<1ll game. \Ve had quite a few visiting brothers with us, IVhom we were very g lad to we lcome. \\'e exlend a cordial invitation to any of our brothers IVho may happen to str<1y in this direction.

HO CHA PTbR started off this year with bright prospects indeed. Although handicapped by the fact that on ly fifteen men returned to school this year, the rushing season has been a good one. Nine men have been pledged so far and plenty of time remains to add to this number. Due to the fact that there a re six seniors in the fraternity who graduate this year, an unusual large number of freshn1en are needed.

The names of the pledges are: VV. R. Bishop, Em lenton, Pa.; R. H. Denton, Sanford, Fla.; G. S. Farrar, S hreveport, La.; B. R. Gasq ue, Rockingham, N. C.; T. Hendon, Birmingham, A la . ; H. M. Lewis and Onee Lewis, Ardmore, Okla.; W. P. Mc\iVi lli ams, Rome, Ga.; F. W. Moore, Chattanooga, Tenn. T hese Freshmen are all worthy additions to the chapter and will make good and loyal Pi Kapps.

Rho is interested in nearly all the campu s activities this year. In addition, the pledges a re nearly all going out for some branch. Gasque and Bishop are likely candidates for t he orchestra whi le H. M. Lewis is showing up well in the boxing lin e.

VERYTHING seems to point to a verY happy and prosperous year for the Cp· silon Chapter. The school year was started right by getting eleven good pledges all of who111 are out for some kind of campus act iv ity.

The pledges are not the only ones who arc out helping to put our house among the best on the campus, for the members are also acco111· plishing a great deal thi s year.

Tllinois is standing first in the ''11ig T en" in football and has the best hopes possible for gel· ting the championship this year. O ur member on that squad is George vVichhorst, tackle. Illinois is expected to do a great deal in basketball as five of the first squad of last year are back· O ur Brother Glenn "Hank" Potter is captain of t he five, and we are expecting him to lead thet11 to another championship in the "Big Ten." Frank S. Howard has charge of the celebra· tions under the Illinois U nion . Dyron 0. House.

Snyde r Herrin and Harris Vv. Jones also ha1•e jobs in the Illinois Union. Ca rl VI/. Draim is agai n w ith the vars ity concert band. Harold Peet is a major in the R. 0. T. C. vVe also have two pledges on the freshman football tea11 1 and three on the freshman basketball squad.

November 6 we had our first house dance of the year. Severa l alumni were ab le to return for it.

O ur homecoming was better than ever thi!' year with thirty-five homecomers. The freshmen had an entertainment for them which was given Saturday night. It was a real treat for our homecomers to see Chicago defeated in our neW stad ium . There were some 50,000 who saw the game. A good review of the game is being pul out by t he Pathe News so you wi ll all probably have a chance to see the tussle.

Brothers E lli son and Pri estl y hav e just been honored with being initiated into the "Rough Necks," one of th e pep organization s of the U niversity. Brother Cleo Ingalls was elected to a like membership in th e "JC!zz-houncls," and all seem to be li ving true to form . nroth er Dan P erry was elected to represent Alpha-Gamma at Atlanta, and as Hugh was at 1\erk eley we feel that it should sort of " run in th e family." Dan will be sure to tell you all about it when he gets th ere, that is hi s pet hobby, so hum or him.

ter th er e for a short tim e about 1869-70. This chapter, howev er, lasted only a littl e while and Pi Kappa Alpha did t~ot get a permanent hold in the college until 1894. Beta 'J'heta Pi had a chapter in the college for a short period before the war. After the war it was not reo rganized until 1889 when Beta Theta Pi absorbed the Mystical Seven Chapter which had been placed at Davidson in 1885. Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Chapter elates from 1883, three years after the establishment of Sigma of Kappa A lpha in the college. Kappa Sigma came in in 1890 and l'i Kappa Phi in 1912. (In 1918 the charter was withdrawn when the ranks of the chapter were depl eted by enlistment of the members in the military se rvice.-Ed. Note. )
