What Constitutes a Fraternity Man?

ZINI

By William H. Thomas, Chancellor The Delta Theta Phi Law Fraternity (Reprinted From Sigma Chi Quarterly)

First-a clean heart beating beneath a fraternity emblem and a clean, broad-minded conscience recognizing fraternity obligations and the rights of men.

Second-as Cleanliness is next to Godliness 路so is the same exemplified by the member through care in toilet and personal appearance.

Third-as apparel oft proclaims the man so should the personal attire create in the community the fact that a Greek and a Gentleman are synonymous.

EDKTOR S COMMENT 9

:To

Howdy, Oregonians

Pi Kappa Phi's ever-increasing chain , was forged another link on December . 21, 1924, when Delta Phi Sigma at the Oregon · ~gricultural College, Corvallis, Oregon, was ' tnstalled as the Fraternity's Alpha-Zeta : chapter.

The heart-felt welcome of the Fraternity is extended to this splendid group of westerners who have measured up to the standards set for admission into our Order. From all indi• c~tio.ns, our newest chapter takes its place Wtthm our ranks fully equipped for the tasks ' that face ~t as a part of a national organization. : The right hand of fellowship is extended to , our new brothers of the far western state of roman·c e and achievements and with it goes ; the offer of fraternal help. The fraternity is " confident that its trust has not been misplaced ; and that the brothers of Alpha-Zeta will bear : with distinction the mark of Pi Kappa Phi ~nd that their chapter will stand as a beacon ' ltght set on a hill, shining bright and strong as Pi Kappa Phi's lone representative in the ' Beaver State ~ With the .comf.ng of Alpha-Zeta, another • ~tep in Pi Kappa Phi's Pacific coast growth ~ ls made. The Fraternity's third chapter at the University of California was for years our ~ only outpost in that ! great country of the ~ Pacific. Last year Alpha-Delta came to keep

company with Gamma and now Alpha-Zeta is installed in one of the great northwestern universities and Pi Kappa Phi's representation in that section is materially increased .

So we bid you welcome, brothers of AlphaZeta. Accept your share of responsibility and work in Pi Kappa Phi and neither you nor the fraternity will be losers. ~"~

E xpansionist HERE are interesting figures of the lapse of time between installation of chapters T by the fraternities with at least five chapters in a recent issue of "Emerald" of Sigma Pi. The 43 fraternities listed, are divided into four groups, ultraconservative, conservative, expansionist, and rapid expansionist. Pi Kappa Phi, which is listed thirty-third, is placed in the third group. Our average lapse of time between chapter installations is given as 7.967 months, figuring the number of chapters and age of the fraternity in November, 1924.

We have always considered our expansion policy to have been sanely conservative and these figures are clearly indicative of that position. We have averaged one new chapter a little less than a school year. Surely that is a conservative and sensible policy, insuring the assimilation of new units and the

welding of all chapters into a firmly-knitted whole.

These chapters have been added during the formative period of our life and at a time when the ground work of our organization was be~ ng laid. Now, that we have a firm foundation we can easily add: to our chapter roll.

This is not to mean that we should begin to prosecute our growth too rapidly. That has never been our policy and will never be.

But when desirable locals knock at owr doors for admission this is not the time to deny them entrance simply because another has recently been admitted.

In the figures, many of our older and larger associates in the 路 Greek world are 路s hown to have maintained a shorter interval between installation than Pi Kappa Phi. Among them are Sigma Chi, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, and Kappa Sigma. ~~~

In spite of this plan whereby every brothel initiated becomes a subscriber of the maga zine there are 900 of our members whos1 names arel not on its mailing list. The cell tral office has made the proposition that an) alumni whose name is presented will be sen two copies of the magazine without cost This is done in order that the older brothers who have been out of touch with the frater nity for years, may have some idea of th1 scope of our present publication.

Again, those brothers who have not corn pleted payment on their subscription unde the old plan, will be given an opportunity t1 pay the difference and be credited with ful life subscription.

These two schemes ought to receive th full co-operation of those who are not no' regularly receiving the magazine. Others rna: help by sending Brother Sheetz the names o brothers who would be interested in receivinr the sample copies and possibly subscribing.

Our Subscription P la1z

.!}IJ.t..

T the editors' dinner of the recent Interfraternity Conference the entire discussion centered on life subscription plans for fraternity magazines. The most popular plan reported was the collection of the subscription at the time of initiation. Eleven fraternities made veports of such plans and each endorsed it most heartily.

This is the plan which is followed by Pi Kappa Phi and has been most proEtable for our fraternity. The life subscription plan has been in effect since the Charlotte Convention, which named the price at $10 and authorized the payment of a fourth of the subscription at initiation, and the remainder in three years.

After two years this method was found lacking and at the Berkeley Convention in 1921, the full payment of $10 was reqt:ired at initiation. In these short years a fund of nearly $10,000 has been built-up and that fact alone is ample indication that the plan is highly feasible. In not many years the interest from the principal of this fund will go a long way toward publicat:on expense of "The Star and Lamp."

A Member Worth While HE editorial on the worthwhile membe in the October issue of "The Star an Lamp" seems to have struck a responsiv chord in the hearts of far-distant brothers.

In this issue are admirable articles b Brother George Odgers, who is in Indil Brother Odgers wrote the editor that he sa down and typed the articles for the magazin after reading the editorial.

A few days later another letter came frof Brother Otto C. Seymour .i n Edinburgh, Sco1 land, who said he was constrained to contril ute to the magazine after checking over tb items in the make-up of the worthwhile merf her. He offered to write several articles an these will doubtless be received in time fc the next number of "The Star and Lamp."

These letters were splendid indications c fraternity interest and greatly cheered tb edi.tor. We wonder why the brothers in th good old U. S. A., accustomed to frequef fraternal contacts, did not respond?

When the minister asked if there was anyone in the audience who had anything to say, P hil is said to have risen in the back of the church and said: "If no one else has anything to say, I wou ld li ke to say a few words about southern California."

Just back of me, in the picture, wearing glasses, is Doc Irvine, a faculty member and head of the University hospital. It is he who dishes out the pills and argyrol for the boys.

The other facu lty member is Professor Thurman J. Sta rk er, assistant to the Dean in the department of Forestry. His likeness can be found at the top of the picture, fittingly framed by the door-casings.

In conclu ion, I wish to say that the AlphaZeta crowd is one of the finest bunches of fellows 'that it has been my privi lege to meet, and concede that Pi Kappa Phi is to be congratu lated both on the character of the men individually and coll ective ly as well as on the type of institution which they represent.

In the first year of its existence, the Delphi Club lea eel a home in which facilities for dining were not adequate. This not being a very satisfactory arrangement, plans were soon under way to lease a more suitable house in wh ich the members cou ld have their own dining table.

T he fa ll of 1922 found the organization in a newly located house leased and furnished by themselves. The organization had increased to some twenty members at this time and plans were under way to• obtain recognition as a local fraternity. It is the col.l ege ruling that a club to become a local fraternity must make a scholastic average of 83 per cent for one year.

By GEORGE ALLEN ODGERS, N OME t ime ago when go ing through my fil es of THE STAR AND LAMP, I came across an article by t he above title, written by Brother Bolt. It was wri tten when P i Kappa P hi had fo urteen active chapters. Curious to fi nd out what the present situ ation was, and who are our p resent associates, I took my Baird's and recent copies of Banta's Greek E :rcharnge, and began to scratch Greek letters and tally marks over five or six sheets of paper. T he job is done, an d my curios ity has been satisfi ed. T hinking that others might be in te rested, I pass on the resul ts.

P i Kappa P hi now has twenty-six chapters.

W ith one exception, each of these lives in a community of chapters of other national, social fraterni ties. T he foll ow ing compilation shows which f raterni ties P i Kappa P hi meets most often, and those whi ch we meet but seldom. In those cases where the chapters of one f raternity with which P i Kappa P hi comes in contact is th e same as that of another, the frate rnities are listed in alphabetical order. T he right hand column designates the num ber of chapters of the fraternity with whi ch chapters of P i Kappa P hi live :

Thus it is seen th at our t wenty-six chapter 26 路

are associated with three hundred and twenty-on 路 chapters of forty-one nati onal fraterniti es; all ou P i Kappa P hi is now in contact with all of th ch: social fraternities listed by Baird 's, except tho! tee whi ch limit their membership to some sect, rac1 dr, or professional college. W hen Brother Bolt cot1 tio piled hi s stati stics, our fraternity was associate f t'f with one hundred and thirty-eight chapters o thirty-six national fraterniti es.

Kappa Alph a(s) , A lpha T au O mega, K apP Sigma, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Alph a E psilO rank as th ey did in 1920. P i Kappa Alpha steP in ahead of P hi Delta Theta, whi ch is still fol lowed by Sigma Chi. Delta T au Delta slips ot1 from behind Beta Th eta P i to foll ow Sigma Ch whil e Sigma P hi E psil on keeps next to Beta.

Five years ago, X i at Roanoke College was otl lone-star chapter. A t that time our chapter thef ] was being watched with great interest by the fr~ ternity world. Many predi cted that we too waul an withdraw, as had others. But we have stayet fr: and now X i enj oys th e fellowship of chapters o 111 , Sigma Chi and K appa Alpha(s) . T oday P hi i ]o, our lone-star chapter, and we hope th at befor long she will have th e association of chapters o PI other nationals.

H

AVING comp.leted my investigation of our a~s.ociates, th~ social fraternities and soronbes, I was mterested to know who ,raul our associates, the honorary and professional ayel are frat ·· ernthes. I therefore continued to spend spare rs o >hi j moments with Baird's and Banta with the following results: ' efor· rs o Let us consider the honorary fraternities first.

P hi Beta Kappa is still the honorary par e:rcel-

Her honors are open to the undergraduates of 13 chapters of Pi Kappa Phi: those at Alabama, Corne.!!, Nebraska, California, North Carolina, Illinois, Tulane, \Vashington and Lee, Georgia, Washington, Trinity, Oklahoma, Davidson-the order being that of the order of <I?

linoi s, ·w ashington, Purdue, and orth Carolina.

Phi Kappa Pi, th e other great honorary, is the prize for our men at F lorida, Georgia Tech ., and Cornell. These three honoraries are open to some of sixteen of our chapters.

P i Kappa Phi meets four forensic honoraries: Alpha Phi Epsi lon at A labama, Emory, Stetson, Florida, and California; Delta Sigma Rho at Illinois, Nebraska, Cornell, Oklahoma, Washington and Lee, and California; Pi Kappa Delta at Tulsa, \iVofford, P. C. S. C., and 'California; Tau Kappa Alpha at North Carolina, Trinity, Washington, Alabama, Purdue, Roanoke, and Emory.

Two agricu ltural honor organizations occupy the field, A lpha Zeta and Pi Sigma Delta. Our land ed gentry members strive for the former at Illinoi s, Cornell, Nebraska, North Carolina State, California, Purdue, Georgia, and F lorida; and for the latter at Nebraska and IlJ inois.

Bizad Pi Kapps striving for honors look to Deta A lpha Psi at I11inoi s and ·w ashington, and to Beta Gamma Sigma at the two mentioned and Cali fornia and Georgia. Illinoi s, Californ ia, and 'vVashington possess th e second, third, and fourth larges t T\izad colleges.

There are four engineering honoraries, but it eems that Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau are the real ones. Tau Beta is at I11inois, California, Cornell, and \i\Tashington; Sigma Tau at Nebraska, I.llinois, and Oklahoma. Illinois is the third largest engineering college, and Cali fornia fourth.

Purdue is second. Epsilon Kappa Nu is at Illinoi s, Purdue, Cornell , and California; and Pi Tau Sigma at Illinois and Purdue.

For students of education, Phi Delta Kappa is !he honorary, and has chapters at Cali fornia, \i\fashington, Nebraska, Illinois, and Oklahoma.

Kappa Delta Pi, an organization for both men and women, has chapters at Il.l in ois, Oklahoma, Purdue, labama. Now that Pi I ambda Theta is firmly established, it seems as if K. D. P. ought to di sband and turn her members over to the other two organizations. As it is there are too many honoraries in the same fields, and it is to be hoped that the time is not far off when consolidation and amalgamation will begin.

The Order of the Coif is the lone legal honorary, and has chapters at Illinois, Nebraska, and Cornell.

Charleston, Oglethorpe, and Mercer are nc blessed ( ?) with national honoraries, as far as know. Dut since this is the period of rapid ej pansion of existing nationals, and the national ization of locals, their blissful state may ha'' been destroyed, and others added to those prl viously mentioned in the other twenty-three Kapp colleges and universities.

Professional fraternities are more numerot1 than honoraries, and they are rapidly multiplyin· and expanding. Ten years from now a Pi Kapl wil l be writing his master's thesis on Our AssO ciates, the Professional Fraternities, and I prop11 esy that it wi ll fill a shelf in some university Ji ~~ The largest group of professional fraternitie is that devoted to medicine. Pi Kappa Phi meet ten of them. (I am not sure but that some o those which I list are racial and sectarian.

I don't believe there's one of u s who would not fight for the Gold and Wh ite, but will we work for them? But is there a separation, a lin e of demarcation between fighting and working? I think not. Fighting is a different kind of work, that's aU, and work is a different f<in d of fighting. W hil e the fraternity doesn't need us to fight, she does need us to work, and if we app roach that work with the proper spirit and the proper v iew, we wi ll see that it is really something akin to fighting. In the struggle within the fraternity for something finer, something better; in the friendly and honest rivalry between chapters of P i Kappa P hi, or between the up-to-date, active chapters on every campu s, th ere is a continual battle and a persistent call to arms. There is so much to be clone, such a field within w hi ch to wo rk, that it is difficult to see how, anyone can fail to find some congeni al activ ity within the fraternity circl e.

If someone would go into each chapter meeting and ask the fu11 meri1bership of each chapter how m any of them would feel like men if they a llowed a few of the chapter pick up the balance and carry them on their should ers to and from school, not one woul d answer in the

affirmative. Yet is it not just as shameful to all ow a few of the brothers to "carry" the full responsibility of the chapter on their shoulders?

W here is the spirit of fair-play, the honest, straightforward desire of Americans to pull their own weight in the world, to carry their own burdens? How many of us are giving of our best to the Fraternity?

One of two reasons is usually given for not doing more for the fraternity. First: "I don't seem to fit in ." But the members should remember that they were chosen because the chapter thought they decidedly did fit in, and it is usuall y clue to a lack of real effort to find just the proper channel that causes thi s pessimistic attitud e. A talk with one of the older members, or with the A rchon wi ll remedy thi s situ ation.

Second: "I haven't time." This is more diffi cttlt to correct, but often that statement is too

inclusive, for because th e individual expressin him self thus has a particularly ha rd course, h is led to believe that all others a re crips. I-l should remember that in hi s leisure hours, an all of us have some of these, there are ways t ser ve the fraternity whil e still having a goo time, and resting the old bean.

These are problems for each one of us I solve for himself. No one can do it by blanket set of "don'ts" or "do's." But we路 can a find a way an d time to help lift the banner c P i Kappa! P hi high, even though our efforts i1 cl ivicluall y a re compa ratively insignifi cant. Fe we mu st remember that the obligation is neVI paid. Neither time nor money can obliterate i If we a re men, we must meet our responsibil ties, we mu st carry on. Let us resolve, 1 Kapps, to find ourselves during 1925 and mal thi s our banner year.

I NETEEN hundred twenty-five is Convention Year! The biggest and greatest convention in our hi story is on the program! At that time we shaiJ reach our majority. In keeping with this, th ere a re ce rta in things we should begin to con si der.

P i Kappa P hi has 27 chapters. It is entering its 2 1st year. Due to its earli est conservatism , it can average an expa11sion of four chapters a year. But how long shall thi s continue? That brings up this question, "How large do we want our fraternity to be?" W ith the present number of chapte rs, at least in the South ern part of th e country, the P i Kapps a re scattered just enough to make one feel delighted to meet a strange broth er. You are all familiar with the attitude whi ch some of the large fraterniti es have created in their members. Again, how la rge a fraternity do we want ?

To my mind 45 chapters or thereabouts, geographically well located, constitute an ideal fraternity. The objection to thi s statement that w ill probably be raised, from an altruistic standpo int,

acr th e gn als gn rec pn is that the benefits of a fraternity should not l get denied the rapidly in creasing numbers of collef 'ja students, and the consequent increase in mtmb' ha of instituti ons of higher learning. My conte1 ch: tion is that what the coll eges need are more a1 ch: not la rger academ ic fraterniti es. The other o ye: jections will be th at we shall be denying ot1 b e' se lves good oppo rtunities and good men. ~j ab contenti on is that, at the same time, we shot! be路 be permitting our fraternity to become unwield and to become of such size, th at proper supe th: vision will be impossibl e: W itness certain cha be ters of la rger fraternities.

110 Considering the foregoing it appea rs that W( would be of benefit, and to the best interest 1 a1l ou r frate rnity to either limit the numbe-r 1 ha chapters, or to so legisla te, th at a fter a ce rt~ be number of chapters had been reached, the prese' 111 . system of voting on new chapters be chang' f u to a unanimous vote of the convention. ltf.

There is something else of vital interest to tI fraternity whi ch needs a more strict regul atiO be T hi s is the matter of th e wearing of the insigr1

ECENTLY while reading some communications addressed to the editor of a great metropolitan newspaper, I ran alcross the statement that "fraternities contain aiJ t 1e real 11 • . _ len on t 1 1e college campus" of a certam 1 g eat university. The author of this opinion said " non- f ratern1ty . men may be classed as a1so that c greasy grinds and uninteresting muckers." This recalled to me a statement that I have encountered previously. A fraternity man said to me: "We can get , . what we want. A man must have plenty of ~ac 1<' or be a cracker-jack athlete, or we won't lave him." MentaiJy I compared the active c lapter of wI11c . h I1e was a member with the same 1 c lapter as I knew it during my undergraduate years.

Th e po r1cy h e I1ad stated had ev1dently . b een adopted and enforced and as far as I was able to . I , b . see, Jt 1ad not reacted for the particular eneflt of that chapter. _It seems to me that fraternity men need to thmk of tllese t h"mgs. The college fraternity has b een under fire at various times, and it is not now safely established by any means. Just this ~eek I encountered in a news item the fact that 1 Ia college fraternities in a small college in Illinois 1ad b bee n a bo1·1s 11ed by order of the college faculty eca~Jse of adverse public opinion in the com· w h"1c11 th1s · college was located.

elusiveness clannishness and prejudice against non-fraternity men- all of which, it is urged, react to the disadvantage of college democracy and college extra-curricular activities.

Perhaps the solution of the whole situation lies with local chapters. If the chapter selects "good men and true," all will be well. The qualifications for fraternal brotherhood should not be limited to personal wealth, or unusual political, athletic, or social ability. These last are important for the success of the chapter in its service to its alma mater and to its fraternity at large, It is true, but the prospective pledge must possess in a high degree the distinctive qualities of manhood above all other things.

Of course, the alumni must keep these facts in mind also. Frequently it happens that an alumnus of the chapter may call the chapter's attention to some particularly good prospective pledge.

His recommendation should be guided by the same considerations as that of a member of the active chapter.

The chapter should be open-minded in considering prospective pledges. An effort should be made to make the group typical of the school which it represents. Democracy is as important as outstanding ability in determining the worth of the chapter. If fraternity men will put this thought into their creed and reAect the doctrine in their deeds, many of the attacks upon the fraternities will disappear for lack of sufficient cause to warrant an attack.

WAGGONER, M

OMETIMES it is the case that several brothers belong to the same f raternity but ra rer is the case where t he eligible members of practicall y the entire lin e of a fa mily are taken into the same fra terni ty. \ iV hen I came to tl anta in 1922 one of the f irst friends and br others whom I met was Brother J ames Chester R eeves, aff ectionately kn wn to all P i Kapps of thi s part of th e country as "Ches." T hat same "Ches" has been my room-mate fo r the past year. H e has held pra ~颅 t icall y every offi ce w ithin the A tl anta Alumni Association, representing the chapter at th e Cali fo rni a Conventi on in 1922. The P i Kapps of fa r and near know of hi s kindn esses to th e visiting br oth ers and hi s generosity towards I ota Chapter of whi ch he is an honorary member.

"Ches" is a g raduate of Cha rl eston Coll ege and a membe r of A lpha Chapter.

Drother Kenneth Earl Low man, A lpha, of Staun ton, Va., is a cousin of the same line. He was gradu ated from the Co ll ege of Charl eston and later f rom the Medi cal College of South Carolin a.

B roth er W illi am F letcher Fairey, Jr., Zeta, of O rangeburg, S. C., was g raduated from U ni versity of South Carolina. He is a cousin of the same fam il y who was initi ated into II K <Jl. 1 rother E uchlin Daleo R eeves, E ta, is now a law stud ent at E mory U ni versity. "Euki e" is th e champion pledge r, hav ing pledged fifty odd men to our f raternity. W hen he swoops down on a f reshm an other fra terni ty men give up.

He is a brother of "Ches."

T he most r ecent a dditi on to our nobl e ranks of II K <1> from thi s family is Broth er Hazard Earl Reeves (Iota), of W ilmington, N. C., who is now a student a t Georgia T ech.

O n the wall of our palati al qu arter s, whi ch, by the way, are located in the f ar-famed, Peachtree section, West Peachtree, hangs th e coat-ofarm s of th e Duke fa mil y. T he fi ve broth ers mentioned above bear th e arm s of this distin gu ished fa mil y. Now all. the fellows of M u,

For th e benefi t of those brother who li ve in th e more di stant states let m e s3 tha t T rinity, th e home of M u, is now D uke l]o ve rsity. T he Duke family, of tobacco fame, h made ve ry generous contributi ons to th e upket and expansion of th at school. M r . J ames 1 Duke has recently donated $6,000,000 to th at i stituti on as well as 32 per cent. of th e a nntl income from $40,000,000.

Many of the Indians never master the Engli sh sounds, intonations, and rhythm; but Indianize as much as possible. Many times, unless one li stens very carefully, he fails to recognize E ngli sh as it is spoken . Many of these speakers are office clerks or secretaries to whom the honorific babu is given . Hence, we have babu English. She is a lmost never used.

The speaker seems to object to saying sh, preferring to· aspi rate the s as he does in hi s vernacu lar.

The other day several goats broke into my garden, and I had the gardener capture and tie them up. During the afternoon, a college student came for one of them. I asked him which one he wanted, and he said, "The white, see goat; he is mine." Th, sh, and ch, they will not say, but t, s, and c. The labials also distract the Indian.

Often he mixes his E ngli sh with his vernacu lar, and we get such examples as Jab Goven1111 Cllf do11ble-1'ail raldtega., to accident bah1~t mim'mi:::e howcga. Many times he translates literall y, as did the Mohammedan shop-keeper in Agra, whose sign reads, GOD HELP US & CO. More often when w riting, the spelling is likely to be as "she ounds." For a Jong time, there was on Dharamtalla Street, Calcutta, a shoe-repair shop with this sign-"Hell and Sou ls Repared Hear."

But what gives one a thrill is to receive a letter like this: Honoured Sir, Having been amputated from my family for several months, and having complaints of the abdomen con] led with great conflagrations of the internals with entire prostration of all desire for work, T beg to be excused from orderly .work for ten or nine days, and in duty bound, T w ill a lways plead for the salubrity of your t\'!mper and the enlargement of your fami ly.

HE University of Washington has quite a unique system of checking up on the grades of the organized fraternities on the campus, through its offices of the Dean of Men and Dean of Women. Each house appoi nts a personnel officer, whose duty is to check up the standing of the stud ents in his hou se and attend meetings of the personnel officers, where house standings and grades ar e discussed and plans laid to overcome difficulties that confront these officers. The Dean of Men presides over the meeting for the men 's hou ses, whil e the Dean of Women over that for the women. Five g rades are given, onl y four for credit, viz.: A 96- 100, B 86-95, C 76-85, D passing 70-75, i.e., Excel lent, Good, Fair, and Satisfactory. E, below 70, is a flunk and must be repeated before grad uation.

At mid-term, i.e., six weeks after each quarter starts, exams a re given and the grades are given to each student on the house grade cards signed by the instructor or professsor. . In this way th e house has a check on all of its students. If a student falls below 70, i.e., a pass, he r eceives a blue card from the registrar, who politely informs him that he is below pai路, and that he will have a terribl e time getting through hi s finals six weeks away. Then if a student falls below two-thirds of

hi s hours, C, he is put on probation for a quartt and if he falls below 70 and at the same time h1 total is below two-thirds, C, he is kicked out c school and has to petition the Board of Deail for re-admission, which may or may not 11 granted. On top of that the admission for eP trance r equirements are such, the high schoC student must have a B average or he cannot gai admission to thi s institution, that from a schola' tic standpoint only the best students, on paper ~ least, can have the honor of gracing our wortll portals. By sending out warnings the universit hoped to eliminate much unnecessary flunking b jolting the student before it was too late.

This came in a letter to the persoP nel officer and to u s it is of the greatest signif1 cance, and we. are out to raise our standpoint j: the finals a month from now. In view of th fact that there are thirty-five fraternities, most!: all national s, on this campu s, besides six indr pendent hou ses, wh ich are always includ ed ir with the fraternities as organized men's hou se! we feel that we have made a fairly good star this fall and hope to be able to keep up the goO'

I t is no uncommon thing to get a letter from the Dean of Men, or some oth er off icial of rank, pointing out this fac t to us, who already kn ow it onl y too we.l l, and we are not at all surpri sed, fo r it is only one of th e many meth ods used to pep up Greek lads to greater endeavors. I venture to say th at the f raterni ty representation in the purely scholasti c honora ry fraterni ties is eve ry bit as goo d as the independ ents in p roportion to th eir num bers. T hat in itself proves my point. Do not misconstrue my idea. We have come f rom the bottom in two years to the pos ition we held las t year, whi ch is no mean accomplishm ent fo r any fraterni ty, if from the top thi s year eith er. \1\fhat I wish to give, though, is perhaps a li ttl e better understanding of the fraternity ideals and standa rd s, as well as their requirements along th e scholastic lines, as fa r as th e campus and th e U niversity of Washington authoriti es are concern ed. No one is more interested in the standing and reputation of P i Kappa P hi than A lpha-Delta, who is just a bit jealou of her predecessors who have .li fted our fraternity to th e lofty pinn acle wher e she now reposes.

OUBTLESS many Pi Kapps read recently in the January 6 number of the American Legion Till eekly of the work undertaken by Brother George D. Everson of Chi, but a great many more probably did not see thi s number of the liVee ll ly and we call attenti on again here to the work that Brother Everson is now doing.

O ut of the thousand s of supporters and worke rs that the Legion has all ove r the country, Broth er Everson, together with six other loyal legionn aires, has been selected as one of the vangua rd to put across the I egion's plan to raise an endowment fund of $5,000,000.

For sometim e he has been in Chi cago preparing for thi s work. J-Ie has now compl eted hi s course of training and is at present avail able to carry out special duties in the three States where work is un der way, at the same time help ing p repare for the campaign in other states.

Vve are proud that Brother Eve rson has been selected for this work. It is fu!Jy in acco rdance with th e record he has establi shed as a worker for Pi Kappa P hi . He was one of the charter members of C hi Chapter and since the fraternity has, been establi shed in F lorida he has been one of its most loyal boosters in his native state. As Chapter Inspector for F lorida hi s work has been beyond criti cism and he has cooperated with the other off icials of the fraternity in every way desired. We feel confident that the same will be true of hi s work for the A merican Legion and that he may depend upon the membership of his fraternity, as the fraternity has depended upon him , to help him put hi s part of the progra m across.

T he accoun t in The Legion W eeldy is as fol lows:

D

"The actual work of rai sing T he A merican Legion's $5,000,000 E nd owmen t Fund for di sabled men and the orphans of veterans got und er way with the beg inning of the new year. Seven Legionna ires, a ll of them chosen for their r ecord s of accomplishment in the Legion, a re now serving as fie ld sec retaries to ass ist the depa rtment and post officia ls of the first three

States whi ch have been selected for the open ing o' the Legion's nation-wide campaign. These three statr are Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana, with Cook Cou n!i Illinois, the seat of Chicago, regarded as a separat• unit. Plans for beginning the rai sing of funds in al' other States are rapid ly nea rin g completion.

"The seven fie ld sec reta ries now at work hav e al ready completed the cour se of instr uction. They art Ra nd olph Gar land B ishop, of La P lata, Maryland George 13. Everson, of Palatka, F lorida; S. Reau Kenll of Bloo mington, Illinois; J arvi s Beach Price, of 'f!t peka, Kansas; Philip Bra un Stapp, of Greens bu rl Indiana ; Fred Edward Bury, of Danvi lle, Illinois, all· Lyle D. Tabor, of Detroit, Michigan.

"Each of these men has made a thorough study o' the purposes for which the Legion is rai si ng the ctr dowment fu nd. He wi ll place thi s knowledge at th< di sposal of the officials of the Legion depa rtm ent ir which he serv es during the ca mpai gn. Each depart ment will have charge of the collection of funds withi1 its boundaries, and the field secretari es wi ll act largcl' as adv iso rs. The efforts in the first thr ee States ar< expected to affo rd valu able lessons that will be utili zcl in the remaining departments as the ca mpaign is e$' te nd ed.

"Field sec retaries are now working with departmell' and post officials of T he A merican Legion and th1 America n L egion Aux il ia ry and intervi ewing lead itl, citizens of com muniti es. In each State the prelim i n ;~r! work of the campaign wi ll occupy a number of week and th e actual solicitation of funds in most cases i· ex pected to b(l ·confined to a single week.

"Mr. Bishop as f ield secretary fo r Kentucky ha' es tabli shed headqua rters at Louisville. Mr. Ke mP who will se rve hi s home State of Illinois, w ill haV 1 hi s headquarters in Bloomi ngton. Mr. Stapp will ha1'1 headquarters in Ch icago and wi ll ass ist in the cat11' paign for all of Cook County. Mr .

In Atlanta and Georgia, he was always a gobetween th e chapters in working out plans for the fraternity's betterment. He never mi ssed a banquet or a Pi Kapp meeting. He was known in every chapter hou se in th e state. He was one of the first to put hi s shoulder to the wheel to put th e Atlanta convention over big, he was one of the hardest workers during th e convention, and made many friends throughout the delegation.

Bob Jackson was a prince of a fellow, a good pal and buddy, and a brother to every P i Kapp.

But Bob is gone. What a loss ! But hi s influence is still felt throughout the fraternity.

Our fraternity has reached a stage in its development in which it becomes necessary for it to devote its seriou s attention to certain matters.

There are two suggestion s I should like to put before the fraternity. The first is: a bnilding fnnd.

Some means mu st be provided for the assistance of chapters which will be chartered in the future. We cannot expect all the chapters in th e fraternity to be able to construct a home to meet their needs. If each of our present chapters were assessed so much per month and if a few dollars were added to the national initiation fee, we should soon have a respectabl e fund, which could aid young chapters in building a house.

The second suggestion is: The establishment of a unified bookkeeping system simpler th an the Inter-Fraternity System, for those chapters owning or renting a house.

AMES B. DUKE, tobacco kin g and power magnate, of New Yo rk and Charl otte, N. C., star tled th e educati onal world in December with th e. announcement of hi s gift of $40,000,000 to edu cational, chari table and religious instituti ons in Nor th an ct South Carolina.

As th e resul t of th e gift, T rinity Coll ege, at Du rha m, N . C., whi ch has been favo red by th e Duke f amil y with large benefactions for years, changed its name to Duke U ni ve rsity.

In the ind enture Mr. Duke specif ied th at a straight-out gift of $6,000,000 woul d be made to Trini ty Coll ege if th e tru stees would change th e name to D uke U ni versity in honor of hi s fath er, \iVashington D uke. Meetin g a few days after the ann ouncement, tru stees of Trinity accepted th e gift wit h the sti pul ati ons and changed the na me of th e in stituti on to Duke U niversity. Th e name T rinity, however, will be pr ese rved as pa rt of th e univers ity, for th e coll ege of L iberal A rts w ill be kn own as T rinity Co ll ege.

Th e Durham instituti on will receive 32 per cent of $2,400,000, th e annual in come from th1 $40,000,000 of stock in th e Southern Power Company. This will mean th at an annual ap propri ation of $768,000 will be made for th1 coll ege.

Three other Carolin a educati onal in stituti on路 were benefi ciaries of th e Duke g ift. Dav ids01 Coll ege, a P resbyteri an college near Charl otte N . C., will receive fi ve per cent, or $120,00: annu all y whil e a like amount will go to F urmaf U ni ve rsity, a Bapti st in stituti on at Greenville South Ca rolina.

J ohn son C. Smith U niversity, a college {or negr oes at Cha rl otte, N. C., will r eceive fot11 per cent. or $96,000 annually.

It was specifi ed in th e indenture th at 20 pe: cent of the annual in com e f rom th e $40,000,00: will be withh eld until th e reserve fund shnl have reached $40,000,000, doubling the princl pal of th e original gift.

Every member of the fraternity should be · life subscriber of THl~ S'L'AR AND LAMP. \\'< have always wanted that, and always will. T[er< is anoth er thought on the subj ect. There are ap proximately nine hundred alumni members wh1 a re not now receiving T nr·: S'l'AR AND LAllfl' That number will not increase as the presen· life sub cription pl an will take care of new met11 bers, but by far the greater part of thi s toP of nin e hundred is composed of th e older mett who have been members of th e fraternity fo' years and hav e watched it grow and expanr from its infancy. They are the ones whose in terest we want to retain. Most of them a re no! on th e mailing li st and for many of them '~' do not have correct addresses, but we feel sur< that if the new S'l'AR AND LAMP, th e magazit1' we are proud to call the official publi cation o~ Pi Kappa Phi, is placed in their hand s for t1V' or more consecutive issues, to bring th em it touch again with the doings of the fraternit: and ma ke them appreciate that a life subscrip tion at $10 is r eally a good investm ent, that : number of new life subscription s will r esttl from these valued alumni. The central offic< therefore makes this proposition: It will sell' w ithout question to any nut-m.ber of the frM enlit' n ot n ow 1·eceiving THE S1'AR A D LAMP, on r qu.est, a, copy of the maga:::ine fo1· two conseC11 five iswes, provided the request is received i time so that a sufficient Sltpply of extms ma.y b· secured, after w hich the recipients of sl.tch copir will be ask ed to subscribe.

TH E STAR AND LAMP is our best means o keeping in touch with our alumni-our bei and only advertisement to the general member ship.

Founders' Day Celebrated Throughout the Fraternity--- Other Li"ve Alum-n i News BOSTON PI KAPPS ORGANIZE B 'y KENNE'rH McCANDLESS, N

E it known to all Pi Kappa Phi brothers, that we, who have passed out into the profane world (New England) carrying with us that spark of brotherly affection kindled at our chapter hearth s, celebrated Founders' Day, 1924, in Boston under the full effulgence of the Star and Lamp. In witness of thi s sublime event, which, as our "ramblin' wreck" president, Jimmie Setze, sa id at the dinner, will go down in history along with the landing of the Pilgrim fathers, we append this clipping from the Boston Tmn-

B

script: The first alumni chapter in New England of Pi Kappa Phi, national coll ege social fraternity, was organized at a dinner in the Copley-Plaza last night in observance of Founders' Day. A theater party followed.

James W. Setze, Jr., Georgia Tech, former supreme secretary of the fraternity and at present division superv isor of in struction for the metropolitan division of the new England Telephone and Telegraph Company, was chosen president. Other officers follow: Vice-President: Philip N. McCombs, University of California.

Secretary: Kenneth McCandless, University of Nebraska.

Treasurer: Karl M. Gibbon, University of Illinois.

Chelcie G. Arant, Emory University, was appointed chairman of a committee to arrange for an All-New England reuni on next spring.

S imilar notices appeared in The Christian Science 11! onitor, The Boston Herald-Traveler, Globe, Post, Telegram, and American.

Formation of this Boston Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi came about more or less by spontaneous combustion. The three Nu brothers and Phil from Gamma drove a .lizzie through the night clown to New Haven for the annual Yale-Harvard mud scrimmage. \i\Tith so many of us for a nucleus we wondered how ma11y more there might be on this stern and rock-bound coast.

A week or two later my phone tinkled and'' Southern voice said: "Hello, Ken, this is Jimnti' Setze." And that's how it happened. Jimnli1 and the approaching December 10 did the rest No doubt most of you fellows know all abott: thi s, our former supreme secretary, but will adD that he is getting along right smart here amonf the shrewd Yankees and rates a deferenti~ "Very well, Mr. Setze," from some thousands 01 employees in the N. R T. & T. Co. A wor' from him and one of the nicest lil' room s in th• Copley-Plaza, near the music, an' ev'rything, w~· reserved and the boys given an opportunity tr dig the moth balls out of the Tux. Aside from Mister Jimmie, who looked lO' cute for words, you should have seen Duke Wei lington with the new "mustache'' he has gro,,·r and cultivated since planting his pin in Lincolr last spring. A reg'.lar bronco bustin' Apoll• from Montana, he wears a huge beaver coat ir tme Harvard style. He is regi stered as a speci~ student in the Harvard Graduate School of La'\ The other boys as far as we know wear their hair. as they always did nor have their naOl' been connected with police items. Bob McCand less, Nu, '24, is running true to form. He is ' radio engineer with the Wireless Specialty M paratus Company which puts out the RacJiol· super-hets for the Radio Corporation. Bob stil moans at every cold wave and swears that nd clay he will pack up for Miami or Key West.

Eel Watkins from Pi and Karl Gibbon, of UP silon, are grinding out cases in the Harvard G(<l1 Law School while Arant from Eta and Ph1 from Gamma say each night is about nine hottr too short for them to do justice to the problet1r handed out at the Harvard Grad Business School Ken McCandless is petting his typewriter aloJ1~ as reporter for The Christian Science Manit~ and having lots of fun swinging around in th 1 Boston culture.

Broth er Carl Dickey became very much encouraged after hi s brother E rnest's marriage and stepped off shortly afterward. After attending John B.

Brother I-I. E. Erb, Jr., Xi, '20, was elected president of th e Roanoke College Alumni Association for the present year. This is an expression of P i Kappa P hi's standing at Roanoke College.

add to our many features of interest and enter tainment for those in this section. We wer· ve ry fortunate in getting the cooperation of th alumni throughout th e state, which has made 1 possible for us to get out our second issue o the B irm·i nghmn A lumni.

In getting out thi s issue, we hope to keep th men in Alabama famili a r with the activiti es o the 'nation al fraternity and to keep them post~ as to where th eir old college chum s are locate• and to their interests. Regardless of how fa' back we are able to look, we a re interested i those that we knew in coll ege and especiail. those that were tru e P i Kapps. This issue i also doing every thing in its power to intere' tho se alumni in adjoining towns to form ~ active chapter. In doing this, we have an ass0 ciate alumni chapter formed that any Pi KaPI can belong regardless of th e chapter or st~ 1 he is from , and can remain a member unt: there is an active chapter formed where he c~ be directly connected. o doubt but what oth1 chapters are experi encing the same thing th• we are, and that is, one or two men in sott1 towns, and it will take them years to get enott~ men to organize an active alumni chapter, so i the meantime we want them to join us and wor with us for the progress and betterment of th fraternity.

A lthough our chapter is made up of men frof fi ve chapters, we have given considerabl e spar in our issues to assist Omicron in building h1 new home. Vle only hope we can assist other in the same way. The home problem with d : chapter is an immense one. Every chap!f should have a home of its own and there ' scarcely any other feature that will mean al1 more to the fraternity than being well housc1 for then th ey have greater opportunities to st more of each other which will mean greater cr operation.

It is our fond hope that some clay we c~ have club room s or a home of our own so th•· when we are fortunate enough to have Pi KaPI' visit us, we will th en be in a position to ma~ them feel more at hom e and make their st:t more pleasant. Thi s is probabJy a dream at pre' ent, but th ere are such things as dreams coJ11il1 true, so watch our smoke.

It was weJJ to see t he old gang together again but it was hard to do any real busin ess fo r talking. But we are convinced th at we made a good start by selecting offi cers, and dec idin g on at least one meeting ni ght every month .

rangement it should be provided that members who had contributed to the amou nt of $ 10 would not onl y be members of the Loyalty Club, but would also have life subscription s to THE S'l'AR AND LAMP. This "Loyalty F und " would not on ly provide ways and means of pla cing Trm S't'AR AND LAMP in the hands of our a lumni members, but at the same time would go toward building up an endowment fund whi ch would take care of the g rowth of our fraternity and the expense involved.

W ilh Trn~ STAR AND LAMP in the hands of all of our members, there is no li mit to the good that we can do. The magazi ne would be a reminder of the alumni 's duty to contribute to and help build an endowment that wou ld place ou r fraternity where it belongs in the realm of America n co ll ege fraternities. J f we a re to compete with the older fraternities we must first put our organization on a, sound financial basis.

1 a rt of this endowment could be used for building chapter houses, providing quarters for our und ergr ad uate members and to be used in a thousand ways for the cause of coll ege ed ucalion which, afte t• all , is one of the ma in aim s of fraternities.

The alumni 's interest in our fraternity is a different kind of enthu sias m from that whi ch wi ll be found w ith the undergraduates. It is my belief and obse rvation that our alumni want to help, but that they a re waiting for someone to blaze the trail and show them how they can become a cog in the wheel. It has been noted that simil a r "Loyalty Clu bs" and means of receivin g alum ni contributi ons have been used by other fraternities to a great advantage. Some of the la rger fraternities receive Loyalty Fund contributi ons of $5 per member each year.

These same fraternities educate their alumni in ways of helping the fraternity. They try to get their members to give something or do somelhing, no matter how li ttle. O ne instance in particu lar, a nd it might not be I ad for us, some of the larger fraternities enco urage their alumni not to forget their fraternity in their wills.

'J'hey put it this way: "We reali ze your first duty is to your fami ly and your dependents, but do not forget us-at least w iiJ us your good will if you cann ot leave us anything else."

In this way these fraternities are encouragini their members to give something and in a I~ of cases these littl e things are offset by M things that mean much wealth to them. ~· "t..

1-Iarold Ham, a n active brother, outlined in an interesting manner Alph a's future hopes and policies. He sketched briefly the last few years of A lpha's activity and pledged full support and cooperation to the alumni g roup . .Brother L. Harry Mixson next gave a significant talk. He reiterated the valu e of true friendship and illu st rated strikingly its relat ion to fraternities.

"Pi Kappa P hi is the biggest thing in my life," .Brother M ixson said , "I only regret that twenty years of thi s association with fine young men, have gone by so quickly." He then toJd of the fraternity's early struggles, its second and third chapters, and the first difficulties of expansion.

"We have our present-clay problems but we are meeting them in true Pi Kapp sp irit as we have always done. Vl/e wi ll m ainta in our position and advan ce. In the ea rly clays precedents were being made; now we have thenl) to go by, and should hold to them." .Brother Mixson then called attention to the size of Pi Kappa P hi, its growth, and its illustrious alumni.

He then closed by renew ing his pledge to P i Kappa P hi . "I wish to renew my pledge," he said, " my obligation to the fraternity, pledging eve ry ounce of energy, ab ility, and love I have for the further advancement of Pi Kappa P hi ."

B roth er M ixson's talk was impressive, revealing a depth of sympathy and earnestness. The brothers afterwards went to the chapter rooms w here they sang songs and ta lked late.

Two of Phi Gamma Delta's past grand treasurers have lost their lives during the past year, according to The Pu,-ple, Crf'en and Gold of Lambda Chi A lpha. Ka rl Lemmerman, national treasurer from 1917-1923, died in July a a result of injuries suffered in the Lorain, Ohio, cyclone. Dr. \Villiam Christians, a member of the same fraternity and national trea urer for fifteen years, was killed last fall in an auto accident.

The writer, in attenda nce at the home-coming festivities of Omega (Purdue) on November 22, met Mrs. Christians, who was a guest of Brother Simmons. Tier remark concerning Omega of Pi I appa Phi were highly plea ing, and favorable criticism coming from one who (i n company with her husband) has v isited practica!Jy all of the chapter houses of a large national fraternity mean much.

The first haternity chapte r hou se of Phi Kappa Psi, and most 1 robably first in the history of fraternities. wa located at Penn ylvania College. It was erected in 1882.

\Ve tern Lambda Chi lpha's are proposing a Lam Chi mountain camp in Colorado. The proposed site is northwest of Boulder a nd southwest of Fort Collins, in the St. Vrain district, ncar the village of Peaceful Valley.

The Garnet and White of Alpha Chi Rho complains at "the crust" of an S. A. E. hou se at Dickin on for hanging the picture of the Virgin Knight, Sir Gallahad, in its front parlor. If we are not mistaken, our mother-in-law has one of the same pictures hanging in her dining room and probably had it there years ago. Admitted that it is a custom of Alpha Chi Rho chapters to hang the picture in every chapter house or meeting room, is there a patent right to the practice?

K in ard J ohn son, famili arl y known as "Sheik," hail s f rom Liberty, S. C. T he di stincti on of being th e "Beau Brumm el" of the F reshman class rightful.l y belongs to him . He is very popul ar with hi s fellows and-well, they say that he wades se renely through th e wailing hearts of those whose weapons a re words, and whose persuasives a re tears. We record the rumor without comment.

W illia m Kell ey, of Lake City, S. C., is kn own fa r and wide by reason of the dulcet harmonies that he coaxes f rom hi s saxaph one. T he pipes of Pan may have been sweeter, but Bill's mu sic sound s all right to u . He is already assured a pl ace on th e ColJ ege Glee Club. \iVarren Derri ck, the son of a Meth odi st mini ster of D illon, S. C., is the orator of hi s class and the future spokesman of the chapter on occasions which require a man skilled in the witchery of wo rds . We a re looking to Wa rren to put us on the map in the realm of forensic activities.

Carroll P layer is the chapter's future contributi on to the coll ege baseball team. He comes to W offord with an all -state repu tation, whi ch we confidentl y expect him to maintain. K ingstree, S . C., cl aims the honor of being hi s home town.

W inn Blanton, of O rangeburg, S. C., sails under the ob ri quct of "Bud ." H e was our contri bution to the F reshman foo tball team, and we a re looking to him as a fu ture Wofford sta r.

He is qui et, dependabl e sort of boy-the kind th at no chapter can afford to be without.

Cecil Reames, of Bishopvill e, S. C., is a brother· of "Frog." A lthough Cecil doesn't play footbalt as hi s fa mous brother does, it is quite generall y conceded that he surpa:ses. "Frog" at lea t in poin t of pulchritude. Cecrl w1ll make us a valu able man.

N. NEWSOM

E are proud of the fact that not a single Eta man failed to r eturn after the Christmas holid ays and we consid er ourselves all the more fort unate because of the return of Brother 1,. K. Bilbry, who was out last quarter. Counting the new men who have just been taken in, our roll now includes thirty-two active men. all working for the betterment of Pi Kappa Phi. t recent initi ations P ledges Carl Lippold , Reagin Jones, Joe Fisch, Cla ude Frederici.;:, George Cook, Yancy Chewni ng, Gordon Bennett, Jack Langford and W illi am Blalock were taken in and are now "true and faithful brct·hers amongst us." Accord ing to the Freshmen, they enjoyed the initi ation to the fullest and the upper classmen all feel confident that they were given enough to make a lasting impress ion.

Just a word or two in regard to ou r new faculty brother who was initiated on the twelfth of December: Professor J. F ri end Day ( he lives up to hi s middle name) comes to E mory from Chicago where has was teaching a nd taking post gradua te work in economi cs. Hearing through some Emory men of the wonderful schoo l we have here in the heart of Dixie, he was favorably im pressed and was persuaded to take a place here as ass istant professor in the department of econom ics a nd business admi ni stration. It was

in this capacity that our members began to kn°' and app reciate him.

Professor Day is a g raduate of Trinity Colleg~ of the Uni ve rsity of Toronto, and hi s specialty,. political science.

Tre was the coll ege prize man in this course all won the Governor-Genera l's medal for the high est A. B. degree. l:_Iowever he is not the "cligl~1 fied" professor who is af raid to unbend and 1111' with us common mortal but rather it is a hobb' of hi s to culti vate social contact between facuil' members a nd students. This is ev id enced by th' fact that he has frequent get-togethers with Ill' students in hi s office and generally tea and cakC' are ser ved. W hy the tea? Well , to quote professor Day, he is "a beastly E ngli shman, belo!lf to the pestilential race of the Engli sh," and te· parties is another of hi s hobbies.

P rofessor Day is certainl y "end owed w ith t.l~ necessary qualifications" and we a re glad to 11' traduced him to all P i Kappa Phi's.

At a recent meeting the following men wer elected to carry on the chapter activiti es forth' com ing year: Archon, Robt. A. F lournoy; Seer; tary, E ldridge B.

NU BROTHERS ACTIVE

By ELDON KrFFIN U CHAPTER is now rounding out the first semester of the present school year.

We a ll hope to keep away from the Dean's Elimina./ ion Formal.

The freshmen are all working hard both to maintain a clear record in school and to make their grades so they can be initiated into the bonds of Pi Kappa Phi. Brother C. L. Coombs, ex-'23, Nu's amateur theatrical writer, has again shown his ability by having his show, "Tut-Tut," accepted as the 1925 Kosmet K lub production. Each year the Kosmet Klub sponsors a production written by a student at Tebraska and produced by a student cast. This is "Sig's" third production to be accepted in as many years and is a record that wi ll be hard to beat. Not only docs he write the play but he a lso composes the music for these musical comedies. As a tribute to 1 u Chapter he has written a new "Pi Kappa Phi Sweetheart" song which we hope to nationalize soon.

P ledge Frandsen had another honor bestowed upon him last week in his elect ion to Sigma Delta Chi. His work in that department speaks for itself and he has a bright future.

A number of Lincoln and Omaha a lumni met January 4, at the Elks Club in Omaha, to dis-

cuss plans for the future home of N u. Several active men also attended. Plans were di scussed for in co rporating our alumni association, as well as so me planst for th e coming year in rega rd to new men. There is to be another meeting in Lincoln, January 25 and one February 1. Th e spirit of Pi Kappa Phi still burns regardless of miles and duti es.

Brother Paul Walker, Supreme I-l istorian , has paid N u Chapter a couple of short visits since coming to Neb raska. He has located at I-·I astings, Neb raska, and Nu is proud to have him so near us and hopes he can make frequent visits to Lincoln.

We have received communications from both Brother Carl Peterson and Brother Walter Wheeler expressing th eir intention of reentering school the econd semester and N u Chapter surely welcomes them with true brotherly spirit.

A number of our alumni have fall en into the sea of matrimony in the past year. Among them are: Allan Wilson who was marri ed to Miss Vera Irwin, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, on A pril 5, 1924.

Burgess Shumway and Miss Zora Wunderlich were married October 13, 1924.

Ea rl "Skeet" Ayers and Miss Dorothy Faragher were marri ed ovember 12, 1924.

Ve rn e "Pooch" Thomas somewhat fooled the boys when he kept hi s marriage' to Miss Marga ret John son, a Sigma Kappa at Nebraska, a sec ret for over two month s.

Stoddard M. Robin son finally took the fatal step when he married Miss Marion Moody, a Delta Delta Delta, November 27, 1924.

Last, but not least, Charlie Collins, after having the brothers believe he was a confirmed bachelor, took unto him self a brid e in the person of Miss Mary Adams.

N u wishes these brothers all the best luck possible but still hopes to have them visit us often.

New officers were elected January 19.

Broth er "Chick" A dams, a faithful standby of N u, was elected to the high honor of A rchon.

M id -winter has ushered in the basketball season for u s here and Brother Rudy Lane is back at hi s regul ar position at forward on the varsity.

Tn the games so far thi s season, he has di spl ayed a sterling brand of playing, which, if continued , bids fair to land him a position on the A ll South Atlanti c team if not even better.

With spring " just around th e corn er," we are looking for ward with g reat interest to the baseball and track season s, also. Brother I ane again comes into th e lim elight in th e cap:tcity of outfield er de luxe and he is looked on as a sure bet to ma ke the team thi s year. Brother Summerso n is already in training in anticipation of a good year with th e track team on which he was a consistent winner in the clashes last year. Although the first year rul e prevents the freshmen from engagin g in varsity spo rts, several of them a re baseballers of no mean ability and will no doubt ca rry the colors with the Freshman team this year.

Brother Summerson has also been successful in winning a place on th e varsity wrestling team , a r emarkable feat for a man of hi s slig ht build .

Brothers \Nickhorst and Thompson played on the Illinois football team thi s fall, W ickh orst at gua rd and T hompson at quarter. The form er pl ayed in th e renowned Illinois-M ichigan game for a period in th e second half, a stone wall on defen se and opening the needed gap on offense.

Brother Thompson pil oted the varsity a number of times on week-day scrimmage, although not playing in any of th e games.

The picture shows a scene from Bolton and Middleton's clever three-act comedy, "Adam and EYa," in which Brothers Robinson, Irion and StO\·all, together with Pledge John Seiler, had parts. The play was produced first at the "All Tulane" celebration in honor of one of the South's best football teams, and later was giYen at Louisiana State University, at Baton Rouge.
