OREMOST in our thoughts at this time is the Chicago meeting of the Supreme Chapter, the thirteenth ,in the history of Pi Kappa Phi. These biennial meetings are naturally the high points in our fraternity life. I hope that every brother who possibly can will attend. The Chicago alumoi, utilizing the exceptional facilities which that city offers, are sparing no effort to provide entertainment which will ever be a pleasant memory. I know that every one who will be there will have his life enrichened by the fellowship he finds and the friendships he makes.

The Chicago meeting will be the only opportunity for another two years for representatives from our whole membership to discuss the affairs of the fraternity. It is therefore important that those who will constitute the voting membership of the Supreme Chapter, and also the visiting brothers, who will be freely accorded the privileges of the floor and urged to participate in the deliberations, come just as well prepared as possible to voice the sentiments of their locality :o n all matters pertaining to the welfare and progress of Pi Kappi Phi.

Your Last ehance.,;

T

HE stage is all set and the time is almost here for tlie curtain to rise for the opening of the greatest three-day show in the history of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. I say the "greatest three-day show" without any reservation whatever, realizing fully that twelve Supreme Chapter meetings have been previously held, but the THIRTEENTH-ah-the THIRTEENTH will surpass them all , and on the horizon will appear a new record- one that will be long remembered and never forgotten.

The curtain ri ses for the introductory act at 9 :00 P. M. Sunday, December 27th. As an appetizer we offer the P re-Convention Stag.

P lenty of smokes, plenty of hands to clasp in the bonds of Pi Kappa Ph i, and plenty of genuine Pi Kapp entertai nment. The entertainment i to be staged by no other artists than our own brothers in Pi Kappa Ph i. As a result of a special prize offered by the Chicago alumni chapter, many active chapters have been practicing for weeks; each chapter perfecting a program which promises to be a show in itself. The prize is to be a loving cup, worthy of a place on any fraternity mantel, and it is to be awarded to the active chapter receiving th highest rating from the judges. P lan to be here for the opening event-the competition for that loving cup is goi ng to be keen.

Then-on Monday comes the first act; Tuesday the second, and Wednesday the third; each act consisting of many scenes. if on day will be featured by "Al" Jolson playing in "Big Boy," the be t musical comedy in Chicago; Tuesday by the Grand Convention Dall with George Kenchar's famous orchestra and the choice of Chicago's hand-picked beauties: and \Vednesday by the formal banquet with it. ar ray of speakers and the best professional entertainment to be found in the \iVindy City. These are just a few of the high lights. Others a re the sight-seeing trip, the group entertainment between meetings, and the midnight tour of the world-famous bright lights.

Cbhat C)\[gw CVirectory

By Gr:o. E. S rnm'I'Z, E:vecutive S ecrefm'y

Tf'r may be

of interest to Pi Kapps generally how our directory plans are progressing. We could hardly escape starting Off that way though it may savour of a vague 'llistrust of fraternal interest, because during the past six months we have combatted every sort of apathy, carelessness, and neglect as far as membership records were concerned; on the Other hand dozens of helpful letters have been re ce,vecJ, 路 chapter officers have on the whole been conscientious in their work, sources of coOperation and real assistance have revealed themselves where often least expected, and so, after opening on a minor key, as it were, we can truthfully say that our support has altogether been most gratifying. \\ e believe we can soon issue a eli rectory that will be a credit to the fraternity.

1'o be of value, the directory must be accurate, complete, and convenient in arrangement.

We, believe our plan will satisfy each requirement. The membership will be listed by chapters geographically, and alphabetically, and \Vithout duplication of facts; pertinent data on the founding of chapters, statistics on the fraternity generally, an assignment of chapter and general numbers in sequence of initiation, Will all be included.

With this information I believe you will agree that it is better to continue the work to a satisfactory conclusion rather than go to press at once, even though it may not actually appear in Print until some days after the Supreme Chapter meets. In the meantime you would probably like to do something personally to push the Work along; if so, let me uggest that the most helpful thing you can do i. to check up on your 0 Wn chapter, by letter or personal visit, at the earliest opportunity, and see whether they have sent in a complete record.

Iot all of the work has been a drag by any ll1eans. It has its lighter moments. vVe have learned that t~e only effective qualities in untangling the records we have inherited and

Jl to know

straightening out those we receive are a sense of humor and a sense of detection akin to the sleuthing instinct of Nick Carter himself. We find first names listed as last names, and vice versa; we even receive different data cards from the same individuals, giving entirely different facts about themselves; some of our lists are so old that the post offices have been discontinued and these we get from the Postal Guide; brothers disappear from the face of the earth, and a month or so later write in cheerfully enough to know \VHY they are not getting Tnu STAR 1\ND LAMP! eventy-five per cent of them, we believe, turn up in Florida selling real estate; well not all, possibly a few buy some!

College catalogues and alumni lists, city directories, the entire files of THE STAR AND LAMP and the Pi Kappa Phi Journal, old correspondence and records of ali description have been utilized. THE STAR AND LAMP mailing list has been made to agree with the membership records and vice versa; scores of personal letters have been written soliciting information.

It is all interesting and really inshuctive. To be of the most use to us, however, this material must be published while it's "hot"; we cannot delay much longer or our addresses will be all wrong again. Warning is hereby given that any chapter not responding promptly to requests for directory material will be fined, and that heavily; alumni who do not send in corrections might as well decide now that they will have no "kick coming" later if the directory lists them in the wrong towns with their names mi _ spelt. vVe will do the best we can, and with everybody's help we'll get it right. So if you are still using that reply card as a book-mark or can't remember which one of the "Three Georges" it was to be sent to, for Pete's sake look in the back of this issue and send it to THE CE TRAL OFFICE today! You may know where you are but'we may not! 'vVe need this data NOW.

Chicago Alumni Offers Cup

House M ouement at N. C. State

HE committee in charge of the pre-convention stag is more than pleased to announce that the Chicago alumni chapter has offered a cup to the active chapter whose members or rnember puts on the best act of entertainment for the evening. A sum of money has been set aside for the purchase of a prize which any house will be proud to place on its mantel. It \Viii be properly inscribed to remind future generations of Pi Kapps that a li ve and talented b:md inhabited the halls in the winter of 1925-26.

All the chapters have been informed of the Competition and from the indications already reCeived a top-notch program is assured. All active chapters that have not as yet sent in their entries should get in touch with Fred R. Sturm, 805-30 North LaSalle street, Chicago, chairman of the committee, at once so that a place may be made for them on the program.

MOVEME T has been started which mark the beginning of a new departure in the life of N. C. State College by the moving of Kappa Jota Epsilon Fraternity from its quarters in Seventh Dormitory to the M. A. Moser residence at 1710 Hillsboro street. Other fraternities at State College are planning to follow this mov ment.

The Mo er residence is a twelve-room structure, and will comfortably house the fraternity, which at present has fourteen members. The home has been leased for two years. Later the fraternity expects to build its own house.

Dr. Brooks and members of the faculty have heartily endorsed this movement and their cooperation is making it possible for other fraternities to live in houses off the campus. Dr. Brooks. in a recent chapel talk, expres eel confidence in the fraternities of N. C. State.

The Kappa Tota Epsilon Fraternity is a local fraternity which was organized in 1919, in order to petition Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Brother Boone, during his four years at the University of North Carolina, has achieved an enviab le record . He has been actively engaged in dramatics with the Carolina Playmakers, of national fame; he was a varsity freshman baseball player, and is active in social activities, at present treasurer of the "13" club and leader of a recent dance given by that organization.

But most of all, Brother Boone is one of the most popu lar and well liked members of Pi Kappa Phi in this section of the state. Kappa believes he has the interests of the fraternity as much at heart as any of its members, and wishes by sending him to Chicago, to reward him for his faithful and devoted labor in behalf of the fraternity.

Phi Beta Kappa 150 Years Old The 40,000 livi ng members of P hi Beta Kappa are to be called upon to enter into the celebration in 1926 of the one hundred fifti et h anniversary of the old est of Greek-letter organizations. A memorial building is to be erected at Williamsburg, Va., in honor of th e fifty founders, and an endowment fund is being established to which, it is hoped, every member will contribute $25.

The aim is to strengthen the u efulness of the society in the sphere of education.

Alumni groups or undergraduate chapters desi ring to invite the Supreme Chapter to meet in their respective cities in 1927 should file notice with the central office and prepare a Jetter of invitation to present to the committee o:l time and place in Chicago. The Supreme Char· ter itse lf always. decides upon the place of itS next meeting. To date Birmingham, Ala., is the only city to indicate its desire to entertain the next meeting of the Supreme Chapter. The 1929 meeting has already been assigned to Charleston, S. C.

HEN the smoke of action had cleared from the gridiron battlefield last fall, the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity emerged frolll the fray with a silver loving cup tucked Ltnder one arm and the University of North Carolina intramural tag football championship safely under the other.

Easily wading through the fraternity league With a perfect record unmarred by the stain of defeat, the Kappa chapter eleven encountered ''cal opposition when the dormitory champions ;~allenged Kappa's right to the coveted cup.

1 he final game was of such importance that Emerson Field, the University stadium, was secured for the encounter. Needless to say, Pi Rappa Phi won the game and thereby the cup! . And don't imagine that because tag football Is a comparatively new sport there was no com-

petition in the intramural league.

With ten dormitory elevens in the running and approximately that number of fraternity teams, a keen sense of rivalry resulted. Elaborate signals were installed, training rules kept (or rather laid down), and practices held.

"Pop" Shepherd, former University basketball star and present coach of the frosh basketball squad, went the entire season as the efficient coach and captain of the Ki Kappa Phi outfit.

Rex Willis' name went on the cup as manager, but the brothers are still wondering what his duties were in that official capacity. He was a tower of strength in the line, however.

When spring rolled around and thoughts turned to the horsehide sphere, the intramural department called for baseball teams to take to the diamond and Kappa again answered the roll,

THLETICALLY A lpha-Gamm a Chapter is making a record for other fraternit ies on the Un ive rsity of Oklahoma campus to shoot at.

The fraternity is represented in every sport by at least one letterman with the exception of tennis. N ine members of the fraternity are bringing the chapter fame on the gridiron, cinder path, basketball court and the wr stling mat.

Next spring when the Sooner baseball team begins the race for its second consecutive Missouri Vall ey conf erence championship, Brother Dick J ones wi ll be found in centerfield. Dick played in eve ry game last year. His batting percentage for the season was .341, being second on the team and he lead the outfield ers of the conference in hitting.

When the Sooners were on their last lap in the gruelling race for supreme honors against the powerful Nebi路aska team at Lincoln, Brother Jones virtually won the pennant for Ok lahoma by delivering two timely hits in the crucial game of the series. Earli er in the season he made Oklahoma's percentage stand 1000 when he knocked out two triples in four trips to the plate, feats that humbl ed the Washington team.

Brother Jones together with Brothers Granville Norris and Claude Cornelison have excellent chances of winning letters on the basketball team.

A nother outstanding Pi Kapp is Brother Benni e McElyea, captain of the wrestling team and holder of fi ve lette rs. Brother McElyea is not onl y a premier Oklahoma g rappler but one of the outstanding matmen in the country. H is only defeat last year was at the hand s of Brigham, who later won the national champi onship.

Brother McElyea is a member of Sigma Delta Psi, national athleti c fraternity. For wrestling Bennie holds two letters, one in cross-country and the other two in spring track. He is a fa st long-di stance runner.

Brother Granville No rri s answered the ca ll for football players this fall and has earned Sooner livery after playing regular at tackle.

A

INGRAM

When Brother James Peni ck g raduated last year, leavi ng behind him three years of stardom 011 the Sooner gridiron, Brother orris stepped into the breach and has carried the Gold and vVhite of Pi Kappa P hi to new heights.

Coaches declare that Granny is a valuable player. He weighs 180 pounds and is unusuallY fast. In the Drake-Sooner game, which Old~颅 homa won 7 to 0, Granny contributed hi s btt toward winning the game by recovering a Dral~e punt close to the Oklahoma goal line. He 15 rated as one of the best linemen in the conference.

Other Alph a-Gams who played on the unt vers ity squad this year are B roth ers Claude and LeRoy Cornelison. Claude plays end and LeRoy is a tackle.

On the cinclerpath Brother Virgil Cornelison is the pride of Alph a-Gamma. This fall he earned hi s letter in cross-country running and last spring he annexed a letter as a hurdler on the Oklahoma team. B rother Cornelison was an all-around athlete in hi s high school clays and by the rate he is going in the unive rsity he should be a luminary of the first magnitude.

A berth on th e Sooner baseball team is awaiting Brother Calvin McMahan next spring.

Brother McMahan did the hurling for the AljJhaGams in the interfraternity baseball league last spring but it is thought that he will be switched to first base on the university team路 He is a good batter, a fast fi elder and keeps a cool head under fire.

P ledge Ray Dunson is a Freshman, but Oklahoma coaches predict that he is a coming football star. He comes to Alpha-Gamma holcling two national interscholastic records, the high and low hurdl es. He is a ten-second clash marL

He is a track man of rare qualities. During hi s four yea rs he has been the surest point gainer on the Presbyterian teams. In hi s sophomore year he nonch alantly went to the S. I. A. A. meet and tied for first place in the pole vault.

Upon hi s return, he was signally honored by hi s alma mater, being presented the golden track shoe for meritoriou s service. This is a trophy seldom awarded. Last year, while he was a junior, he was elected captain of the track team.

Sometime between the hours of 1 A. M. and 5 A. M., Octo! er 5, we were hosts to a couple of lowly footpads who took a surprising liking to our ] ngersoll s, ] arker Duofolds, and clothing. During the few minutes that they were here they made every grab count. Their "haul'" consisted of four gold watches and chains, a Parker pen and pencil, an Eversharp pencil and knife, two overcoats, nine shirts, four neckties, a pair of hoes, a bil lfold, and a quantity of hard-earned cash. All this was taken from one room and amounted to $335. None of the other room were touched, probably because the second-story slickers were scared out by a Rook's alarm clock. Two other fraternities were ransacked the same morning. Their loot at these houses consisted of watches, fraternity pins, typewriters and a vacuum cleaner. As yet, the combined efforts of detectives, "coppers," and fingerprint experts have revealed no clue.

Since the raid, the heavy losers, "Doc" Davis, Ralph Ure, Glen Staggs and Ray Bannister, have been sticking their brothers for heavy loans of clothing, etc. "Fuzzy" Bannister vows that he will put his next watch in the safe deposit box and then call up the bank to find out what time it is.-Aipha-Zeta News. ~IJ..

The meeting was call ed to order by a temporary chairman and the purposes of the m eeting were outlin ed.

Gressette, Zeta, A rchon ; 'J'.

A. Houser, Secretary; J. C. M use, Treasurer.

Th e meeting brought together around a sco re of Pi Kapps in the Capital City of South Carolina.

T he Zeta brothe rs have decided . fo r two reason , that the stand ard of possible pledges shall be raised to the Nth degree. Th first is that, sin ce we have next to the la rgest chapter on the campus, and have as many men as a school of thi s size shou ld have in one chapter, we cannot lake in the usual number of frosh, and the second is that a lthough we have a chapter w hi ch we think will measure up to any stand ard, we intend to lower the number and raise the quality, if that be possible. VI/ e do not wa nt to be content with havi ng as high a standard as the rest of the \ 1\1 afford chapters, but to ra ise the sta ndard of 1 i Kappa Phi head and shoulders above the ordi nary fraternity chapter. i\s a consequence of the above intenti on, it is going to be as ha rd for a man to pass this chapter as the proverbial camel and needl e's eye.

The Prince of \1\fales couldn 't pass on a bet, and when an ord ina ry freshman is brought up the blackball s fall as ra in at the eq uator. Please don't think, brothers, that we intend getting "snooty," but we a re thinking onl y of Pi Kappa Phi and intend doing all in our power to hold the fraternity above everything else. So rest assured, dear brothers, that if a man passes this chapter , he'll be the essence of pe rfection . It has been rumored that one of the brothers sat up a ll

Fi r t and most important was a ceremonY whi ch was held on the night of October 2, at our home. T wo pledges were taken into our full brotherhood under the L ight of the Star and the I amp . \i\fith greatest pleasure and pride Tota introd uces her two newest sons. Drother Ed· ward C. Curdts of Greenvill e, S. ·C., and Brother F ra nk L. Feagal, A tl anta, Ga. \ i\!e are exceed ingly glad to make known, too. that Frank Dean of Atlanta, has joined the li st of the weare rs of our white diamond.

At a recent election of officers for the Fresh· man class two of the three off ice rs were Pi Kapp pledges, Al. Caesar, president, and Bill Schall , sec reta ry. \ i\f ith these two boys in the lead the cla. of '29 should surely become a clas" of much promin ence.

Th e night of October 31 marked a social event which should surely compa re favorably with -yes, ven the one to be held in Chicago on December 29 . Tt was a dance given by Iota to the pledges. Th e house was decorated in fin e rlallowe'en fa shion with a bit of autumn foliage pl aced here a nd there. Th e guest li st numbered about one hundred of the Tech crow d and Pi Kapps from eve rywhere.

The Freshmen of Iota thi s year are a "prid e and joy." Very few failures appeared on the monthly report. Th en, too, every one is doing something on the campus. Al Caesar. besides being hi s cl ass president is regular tackle on the Freshman football team. Bill Schall i develop•

Brother Harvey Johnson was last year a varsity football man and was elected captain of this year's baseball team, but the call of professional baseball was too much. necause Brother Johnson played for Raleigh, . C. , and Chattanooga, Tenn., he is forced to remain inactive in college athletics. Brother am Be t is making excellent grades in his academic work in preparation for the study of medicine.

Brother Staunton Pickens is president of the musical clubs this year and takes an active part in the dramatic organization. Bro thers Bundy and "Bus" Borland are scrapping to see who will be next year's manager of basketball and the Archive, the literary magazine of the University.

Brother Courtney J,right has captured the man agership of track for next year while Brother Parker is attempting the same thing in the wrestling department. Other members of the chapter ar working at minor activities. So it is quite obvious that the new men have a standard to keep and an example set for them.

Brother Harvey Johnson, our present Archon, is M u's representative to the Chicago convention.

E have now reached the brink of the first semester, and the consequ nt return of many students to their homes. The new rules at Nebraska promise to create a larg r alumni body than ever before.

So far we arc going hot as is indicated by our list of men in the various activities.

The military department made a very nice announcemert when it gave Rudy Lucke the rank of major and commander of the second batallion. Harold Zinnecker drew a first lieutenant and is second in command of Company "D." They have also made Scabbard and Blad , honorary military fraternity.

Brother Chase is first li eutenant of Per bing Rifles and Don Spiker i a pledge to the same organization.

as a captain in the military department. Lewie is also Archon of N u chapter, a member of the Uni ve r ity glee club and varsily quartet. He has been president of N u-med and is a member of Theta N u, honorary pre-medic fraternity. He has taken the band on two trips so far this fall, the American Legion convenlion and the Drake game. But-there has been a great change in Lewie lately and the cause is non e other than a new sister in Pi Pappa Phi. She is Miss Nola Sheperd of Lincoln.

Broth ers Kern and Maaske and Pledge Abbott are also in the band while Ed Geistfeld is in the glee club.

Politically Mel Kern seems to be the man at present for he ha s copped a couple of offices this fall of no littl e notice, president of the niversity commercial club and of the juni or class. Besides this, he is a member of the band and of Delta Sigma Pi, honarary commerce fraternity. vVhat worries us most is how he manages to handle all the instruments he totes around with him when the Hastonians play dance job ~.

A recent inventory disclosed three saxophones and a clarinet with music racks, sax stands and all kinds of music.

Speaki ng of musical instruments we have discovered a great array in our house. We have two bugles, violin, two trombones. two trumpets, two clarinets, a set of drums, piano, phonograph, five ukes, two banjoes, nin e saxophones and Basco's mouth harp. Sound like the makings of a symphony but "I don't think so !"

Brothers Erwin Domeier and JT arold Zinnecker are members of Delta Sigma Pi. The poster contest, conducted by the Conzlmsller, was won by Torgny Knudsen out of a field of twelve contestants. The prize was a 1926 cornhusker.

We were ce rtainl y glad lo have Brother Corneilson of Alpha-Gamma with us at the Sooner game but are very sorry J orris experienced a very seriou s injury and could not be with us too.

In this respect A.-G. surely is to be commended on their fine spirit in chapter relations and school sp irit but sorry to say they had hard luck, for Nebraska copped a doubl e victory and lost them both an "0" blanket and a skin after two hardfought contests-the game 12-0 and the run

G. A . Murray, '27, under the tutelage of J ohn F. M oakl e~, track coach at Corn ell , has become an exceedingly abl e shot-putter and is the out· standing man among the candidates for th e var· sity track team. In hi s position as house man· ager he is indi spensable.

MEGA feels that her list of Pi Kapps who are engaged in campus activities needs no apologies. We are mighty proud of the opportunity at this time to tell what our men are doing.

The Purdue track team this year is being

by L. C. Skelton, of Owensville, Incl.

Following in Skelton's footsteps, we have H. 0. Meyer serving as assistant manager of the track team, which means that the track team IVil! be managed for two successive years by Pi Kapps.

Our pledges have caught the true Pi Kapp Spirit. 0. R. Neal, of Lebanon, Incl., has distinguished himself in two Jines of activity. He announced himself as candidate for vice-president of the class of '29, and was elected. In addition he played in "Hel'n, Helen," which IVas presented at the Mars Theater, N ovember 13 and 14.

John Kimmel of Lebanon, Incl., made the freshman egg show committee.

G. E. Spencer, of Royal Centre, Incl., has distinguished himself along musical Jines. ''S pence" carries the bass saxophone in Purdue's military ban'cl. In recognition of Spen<:er's ability, he was promoted to the position of top sergeant, the highest non-commissioned Officer in the band, and is now wearing his chevrons.

Cupid has been busy among our ranks again, and has shot one of his barbed arrows true to the mark. R. W. Guthrie, of the 1924 class and now located in Peoria, Ill., announces his engagement.

Homecoming was celebrated once more at Omega. Several of the alumni came back to Visit us in our new quarters, and most of them expressed their admiration and approval of the new house. We all attended the homecoming game in the afternoon with Northwestern UniVersity. In the evening, a banquet was served to alumni, members, and guests at Lincoln Lodge. Toasts and speeches from vanous sources were enjoyed. Following the banquet the homecomers enjoyed dancing.

Mercer Pi Kapps Active Ry

SMJ'l'H,

JR.

ROTHER LEWIS CON NELL, Archon of Alpha-Alpha Chapter, has been selected as our Supreme Chapter representative. The chapter hopes to have several brothers there but Brother Connell was selected to look after the official business.

Since our last chapter letter Alpha- lpha has pledged the following: James Crockett, Atlanta; Jack Hogg, Rome Ga., and Cleveland Pursell of Carnesville, Ga. George Hatcher is a new brother with us. He has been initiated since the opening of school.

November 7, Mercer celebrated home-coming day by defeating the Furman Hornets 17-0.

Pi Kapps were the greatest stars for Mercer that day. Butts, for instance, a faster man going down under punts can't be found in Southern football. Herndon at guard always plays a steady game, seldom allowing a play to go over his position for a gain. Fleming is the mo t conservative and consistent player Alpha-Alpha can boast. Teasley was out of part of the game on account of a broken nose, but he was a terror while playing. He always acts as field general.

Burt Parker Richardson, professor of chemistry at Mercer, and Alpha-Alpha's first and only faculty member, is off with the glee club.

Mercer is boasting one of the greatest glee clubs in the South this year. Its initial performance at the Grand Theater was a great success. Ralph Tabor is president of the club. Marvin Pharr is still convincing the audiences that he is the greatest college comedian on the stage.

Baxter Coke. an alumnus of last year, paid us a visit last week. He is in Clearwater, Fla., in the real estate business. A majority of the brothers of Alpha-Alpha lost last year are in Florida in the real estate game. E. W. Fleming, once secretary and Pan-Hellenic representative for this chapter, is with the Fleming-Dumas Co., in Tampa.

Joe McClain, past fifth district chapter inspector, tendered his resignation when he decided to enter the business world rather than continue his work at Mercer. He is now located in Tampa. Brother McClain is visiting us for two

UST· a word or two about our new home.

Ever since our install ati on Alpha-Beta has felt the need of a home. So after many trials, t ri bul ati ons, tangibl e and intangible scheming on the part of the good brot hers and some of our esteemed alumni we were abl e to purchase one of the best fraternity houses on th e campus of Tulane U niversity. It sui ts our needs admirably

I t is on the same st reet as th e Delta 'fatt D elta, Kap pa A lpha, and Beta Theta P i fraterniti es, and w ith the Kappa Sig's, igma Chi 's and Sigma Pi's just behind us. So you can see th at we a re in a fra terni ty neighborhood. It was la rgely due to the efforts of Brother Duff Kooken and our most di stingu ished alumnus.

Several of the boys came down early and got the house straightened out for rushing season and the day school opened we greeted twelve of the old men. We were unfot1:un ate in that Brothers Kooken and Sieler and Walsdor f were un able to return .

T he work done by the brothers p roved to be efficacious as we pl edged more men on the campu s th an any other fr aternity with th e e){· ception of one who ti ed us fo r f irst pl ace with six teen men.

Two weeks after the close of rushing season the pledges gave the chapter a dance that proved to be one of the best social events of the year, according to the girls at Newcombe College, and take it from me they are competent judges.

Brother L. G. Bullock, of Eta Chapter, was with us during rush week and aided us considerably. Vl/e were also visited during thi s time

by Brother Jimmie Head, past Archon of Lambda Chapter.

Brother Henry Robinson was elected president of the freshman law class for the sess ion of 1925-26. 'vVe elected Brother \t\filliam H. Thompson as our representative to the nation al convention in Chicago.

Pledge Price McClain and Brother ] ames M cCain both made the glee club this year, and clue to his dan cing ability Pledge McClain ha s a special act on the glee club program.

We also have our own orche tra here in the chapter which enables us to give an impromptu

dance at any time. Newcombe College for Girls asked our orchestra to play for them at a dance.

The boys must have satisfied judging from the congratulations they received.

Brother James Val Eagan Irion has 路 been elected by the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity as their representative to their national convention this Christmas.

The election of the following officers took place last spring: Chas. D. Peavy, Jr., Archon; A. R. Sims, secretary; William H. Thompson, treasurer; James Alex. Thompson, hi sto rian; James very Leeper, chaplain, and Eugene vVilliamson, warden.

If any of the good Pi Kapp brothers are e\'er in New Orleans, just walk around to 830 Audubon street and there will be twenty Pi Kapps who stay in the house regularly to rece ive and to extend to each and everyone of you the g-lad hand, and to show you what makes so many different organizations hold their national conventions in ew Orleans-I trust that you get what I mean-well !

Alpha-Gamma at Its Best

By MECVILLE E. ME'l'CALFE FTER nearly three years of existence as a national fraternity, A lpha-Gamma is seeing its best clays now. But we do not say that we are seeing the best times we will ever see. Such progress wh ich we make only tends to inspire us on to reaching higher p lanes.

Pi Kappa P hi at Oklahoma has recently added 15 p ledges to its chapter ro.ll of 28 men who returned this fal l.

T hose who donned the white diamond with the gold scroll are: J olm Buford, '29, E ufau la; Teece Lew is, '28, Pawhu ska; Raymond Du nson, '28, Okemah; Henry Toll , '28, 路w auri ka; Basil M itchell, '28, Eufaul a; Melv ill e Boddi e, '28, Oklahoma City; Homer ] Iammonds, '29, Oklahoma City; Leland Towne, '28, Tulsa; Melvin Kimball , '29, T ul sa; Roscoe Cuberly, '29, Vici; Leroy Corneli son, '29, Norm an ; Shannon Parker, '29, T ipton; Alford George, '28, E nid ; Merle Crawford, '28, Grandf ield; Omar J ones, '29, Chelsea.

Pledge Bu ford, whose fat her owns the oldest newspaper in the state, wi ll add to our journalistic bloc when he enters the school of journalism next year. P ledge Lewis is practically ce rtain of a place on the varsity wrestling squad, which is under the supervision and captaincy of Brother Bennie McElyea. P ledge Dunson has already copped scores of state track medals, numerous state record titles on the track, and is the possessor of several national record medals. P ledges Boddie and Hamt'nonds are our cap ital city representatives. P ledge Towne is our on ly neophyte in the coll ege of engineerin g. We are inclined to beli eve that he is about to put hi s pledge p in out on a Zeta Tau before he can become initiated. Kimball and Jones round out the seven Pi Kapps on the U niversity Glee Club. No other fraternity has more than three representatives on the cl ub. P ledge Corneli son was the fo urth of his family to don the gold and white.

He is a star basketball player, as is P ledge Mitchell , who was an all-state hi gh ~ch ool player in A labama several years ago. P ledges Cuberly, Crawford, Io.ll and Parker are all putting in their best for Pi Kappa P hi , and the Fraternity is justly proud of them.

A

T hen, too, A lpha-Gam ma is proud of her new home, occupied thi s fall. The dwelling is an impos_ing two-story brick structure whi ch was built la'st spring. It has 16 rooms, two baths, hard-woo(! fl oors in eve ry room, is equipped with electricity, water, steam heat, gas, and all the modern conveni ences. It is located at 757 DeBarr street. A lthough we do not own this home, we expect to live here until we are able to build a home of our own.

And "activity" is the middl e name of every P i Kapp. Some of the important honors which the Frate rnity carries this year are: Captaincy of the va rsity wrestling team, presidency of the junior class, membership to the extent of seven in the Glee Club, one member of the varsity football sq uad, an old member of the baseball squad from last year who, with another Pi Kapp, are sure of places on the team thi s year, a man for the varsity basketball team, managin g editorship of the Oklahoma Daily, uni versity student newspaper, sport editor of the Ok lahoma Doily, feature ed itor of the Sooner, univers ity yea r book, chairm an of the engin eers' ball for thi s year, a candidate for the Rhodes Scholarship, president of the Cubs' Club, journ ali sm students' organi zation, man on the cross-countrY team, and scores of oth er activ iti es which cause P i Kappa P hi to be known among the students on the campus.

We are now tied for first place with Lambda Chi A lpha and P hi Kappa Sigma in league one of intramural basketball , but we defeated P hi Kappa Sigma 17 to 5 and hope to dispose of Lambda Chi A lpha in the play-off.

As Acacia, because of its membership t路estri ctions is ha rdl y to be classed with other houses, we have a ri ght to think of ou rselves as the leading national on the campus.

Pledges Trained at A -E

By B. B. L. H E life of a pledge is most pleasant, but at the same time hi s education is most thorough, clown at A lpha-Ep il on Chapte r, Gain esv ille, F la.

Every Tuesday night the pledges are called to accoun t before " rat court." There any misdeed or indiscretion in not paying proper respect to older men, any infraction of the f reshma n rules or failure to obey ord er i's laid before th e court who sentences the culprit. These sentences are promptly and effectively carried out by the old er men.

The pledges go to the house every Frid ay aftern oon or Saturday morning to work. The house is located on \ iVest University aven ue, just off the campus, and is one of the prettiest fraternity houses in Gain esvi ll e. Every one of the pledges takes pe rsonal pride in the appearance of the ground s a round th e chapter and is more than g lad to do hi s bit.

The memb rs app reciate the good behavior of the pledges and any good deeds they have performed during the week. These points in their favor are brought up before "rat court" and their sentences a re lightened accordingly.

Clyde Norton, the chapter's most noted athletic figure, rounded out hi s career in a blaze of glory when he played hi s last game at guard on th e Gator football team Thanksgiving Day again st 路w ashington and Lee in J acksonvill e.

Norton began his ca reer w.ith the Baby Gators three year ago with the freshman football team that won the undi sputed champ ionsh ip of the Southern conference.

More than 200 couples enjoyed a dance given by the chapter in the Rose Room of the Semin ole I fotel in Jacksonville imm ediately following the \i\fashington and Lee game Thanksgiving.

It was a brilliant affair w ith alumni, active members and their guests hav in g a most enj oyabl e time. A ll sections of the state were repre entecl at the dance.

It was a gala event of the cason and one which every one will look forward to with enjoyable anti cipation next Thanksgiving.
