lh 'l3ut when one begins to think just how such a cotng ca n b e effected, the problem indeed be. I f 111es a We1g1ty one.

IIlles Wit 11 Ou a recent letter to Brother George Sheetz, be r exe . cu t.tve secretary, I suggested that a fund cha Ct eated by our fraternity into which each its Pte.r shall pay a dollar a month for each of . fund to be known as t I1e J:li acttve l mem b ers, thts ev <appa Phi Building Fund. which would entuall . beat .

A-r

the amount into the fund at the rate of nearly two thousand dollars a year. Then, too, in later years our newJy established chapters could erect new homes, aided by our nationa l building fund, only a short while after they are in stalled. Such action would in sure the new chapters better chances in ru hing good men, which is a problem indeed for the struggling young chapter. VVhether or not our chapters would be required to pay a small amount of interest for the usc of the money would be a question to settle later. Personally, I see no need for charging interest. The fund would not be regarded as a profit-seeking proposition, and would g row rapidly enough by reason of the dollar-a-member-a-month plan. Such a plan would practically mean that all chapters would, for the first few years, unite their efforts to build a few beautiful and commodious chapter homes. Then within a short time other chapter hou ses could be erected through more united efforts. Brother Sheetz suggested that I propose this plan and assist in putting it over at the Supreme Chapter meeting, to be held in Birmingham. Perhaps my enthu iasm is too great, but I would like to see the fund begun this year. For if Pi Kappa Phi establishes a building fund now, by the 1927 co nvention , it will hold nearly ten thousand dollars. In my opinion there could be no finer way to better our fraternity. Such a fund would make all Pi Kappa Phi chapters owners of their homes within one-third the time that they might otherwise be required. Let's establish that Building Fund!

I KAPPA PHI at the University of Oklahoma only won three out of four interfraternity championships last year. The Alpha-Gams are delighted at having taken three silver loving cups in the inter-fraternity struggles to grace the chapter trophy room. Although the Pi Kapps possessed the captain of the Sooner varsity wrestling team and another member of the mat squad, the chapter did not realize that it had enough other material to make for competition when the call was sounded for inter-fraternity contests. Nevertheless, when the finals were completed the other seventeen national fraternities bowed to Pi Kappa Phi, acknowledging our team the winner of the fray.

A-r

Next came the track tourney, a two-day serieS of contests and events for the eighteen fraternities. Due to the fact that lettermen were not permitted to participate in such fraternity contests, the Pi Kapp athletes feared that theY would not meet with the same success that theY had gained in the mat tourney. . But to the surprise of the campus, the P1 Kappa Phi track team, composed of four athletes, placed first in the series of events, piling up a total of 52 points. Kappa Sigma placed second with 25 points, whi le Alpha Tau Omega copped 24 points. The other fraternities took as many points as they could, several ranging as low as one point apiece.

Under the Student's Lamp The Scholarship Record of Omega By DR. \NtLJ.IAM E. EmNGTON, y Chm'rman Scholarship Committee MEGA, of Pi Kappa 1 hi, was originally a local, Alpha Gamma Beta, organized at P urdue in June, 1921, and the fol· lowing has to do with the scholarship of all men who are members of Pi Kappa Phi and have grad uated from Purdue since that time. Th e directory of Pi Kappa Phi shows the total membership of Omega Chapter to be 89, including the men initiated in the spring of 1926. Of these 89, six are now or were members of the Purdue Faculty and graduated at Purdue and elsew here before 1921. This leaves 83 members who were initiated at Purdue as undergraduates. Of these 83 members, 45 have graduated , being di stributed over six classes as follows: 192 1, 1; 1922, 9; 1923, 8; 1924, 9; 1925, 12; 1926, 6. Also 25 of these 83 were undergraduate students in school the past year, so that Omega had at th e close of the school year 192526 ju st 13 members who were neither graduates nor in school. This measures the real strength of the Chapter, for the strength of any college fraternity organization lies in its members who are really experienced fraternity men and have the scholarship to remain in college until they graduate. Fortunately very few of Omega's members have withdrawn from college on account of their schoJarship. The majority of these 13 men are teaching or doing some kind of engineering or agricu ltural work and likely wil l finish their courses some time in the near future, either here at Purdue or elsewhere. The author knows that several of these are returning to Purdue thi s year. Ten of the 45 members who have graduated from Purdue were honored with membership in one or more national honorary societies and three others in local honorary societies. In other words, 29 per cent. of Omega's graduates have stoo d out from their coll ege fellows in scholarship. Following is Omega's honor Jist: W. R. mick, '25, Kappa Delta Pi.

Omega has at pres· ent seven members in Scabbard and Blade. The scholarship of the Chapter as a wh 0.1 ~ will next be considered. During the past st}; years Purdue's enrollment has varied from 3,(){)0 to 3,300, and of these from 1,000 to 1,200 have each year been members of national and local fraternities.

DOINGS OF THE ALUMNI San Francisco Alumni Back Gamma's Building By A. G.

RING

I JE activiti es of the Sa n l'<'rancisco A lumni Chapter ha ve become so ma nifold an d its membership so la rge during the past two month s that it no longer see any necessity of st i~ing the desire to express its inn er crav ings. The hopes of Gamma A lumni have been accumulating for years and now th ey are materi a lizing in real operations th at when la un ched will bring commend ation from a ll of the old boys eve rywhere. Let it be known that a plan has been end orsed by this chapter that within three months will make Ga mm a's new chapter house v isibl e to the naked eye! A Building and Loan Association has offered to take a mortgage at terms within our spec ifi cation s and a building contractor is ready to und ertake the construction of the hou se designed by Brother Vl/es Tall ey, architect. The lot is already paid for. J-Iere is what remains for eve ry loyal Gamma alumnu s to do. The San Francisco A lumni Chapter voted unanimously to endorse the following plan at its regular meeting September 14. Letters of commendation and hearty support of the plan have come in f rom all over California. Fifteen members present at the meeting agreed to subscribe one dollar per month toward paying off the principal of the modest second mortgage. The building fund contributed to by th e active members of Gamm a will take care of th e payment of th e interest charges and the mortgage itself. Gamm a Chapter 's program and administration have so thoroughly won the approbation of eve ry alumnu s who has investigated that the realization has come to the alumni th at they must fulfill a deep moral obli gation to the house that has so gamely struggled and m ade such a fine showin g again st odds that would have made a body of men with less spirit and determination assume a medi ocre position on California's ca1npus. Y.le, of Gamma's alumni, will pay one dollar per month . \ Vhen all payments a re mad e for

one year we will each receive a number . 'L'hc lu cky number at the annual drawing will enticle the holder o f the winnin g ticket to two seats at the "B ig Game" without charge, tran sportation to a nd from hi s residence for him se lf and his wife or lady and an amou nt to cover certain expenses. Th e whole plan will be set forth fully in mirne· ograph ed sheets which each of Ga mma 's l11' 0 hundred will rece iv e. lt is so wo rth y of our unanimou s support that the boys ove r there in Berkeley, on th e battle front, surely can depend upon us to eng in eer it to successful culminati on· lt is a sma ll share for us, the alumni , if we con· sid er the total effort necessa ry to th e bu ilding of this house. \ Ve li stened to a talk by Gamma's archon at our last meeting. vVe reali zed that ,,,e had been dilatory lon g enough. So we are laun ching a long-consid ered and ca refully elab· orated campa ign . A nd we are go in g to succeed· We ca n't have Gamma build her own hou se and accept undes irabl e terms from banks and con· tractors because we, the predecessors of the go· getters in the hou se now, weren't there when the time came to stand back of them. This is not a p.l ea nor an ex hortation . It is a demand that every loyal Gamm a alumnus send in hi s en lorsement. Efficient, reli able Pi KaPP.a Phi men, qualified by bu sin ess acum en, expen· ence and acco mpli shment have endorsed it and put it over. They have won the ri ght by persevering interest in Gamma's welfare to demand the proof of the loyalty of every Gamma alumnus. It's go ing to seem mig hty good when the old gang gets behind this and we feel our elves should er to should er agai n with the best friends we have in life. Any one of us can feel a fe 1v thriLl s run up hi s sp ine when he thinks of sitting before the hea rth of Gamma's new home, enjot ing th e long-needed companionship of members of the old gang. A nd don't you think it will be necessary for you to feel justly proud of having held up your end?

It is already obvious that Brother Larry Bernard will serve again this year as Stetson's quarterback. Other men of the chapter who will play a big part in Stetson's 1926 football program are: Brothers Freeman, Eustice, Marsh, Carlton, Jennings and Lewis; also Neophytes Derbyshire, \Velsinger and Dickson. Archon Tom Smith has begun the new year in an enthusiastic manner. He was the official tourist of Chi Chapter during the summer. He first journeyed to Broadway for an eventful stay. He then returned to the campus for a night and left next morning for Texas.

Green Caps Again Bob at Purdue By D. ]. HENDRICKSON

TTH the appearance of green caps on the campus again, we are brought to realize that another round of university life is beginning. While registration figures have not been compiled, it is evident that the class of 1930 is the largest of any that has ever knocked at the gates of Purdue. Omega is keeping pace with the progress of Purdue. We .lost six men last year by graduation, but have pledged others to fill their places. Five men failed to return this year: W. E. Brown, who is working for the Delco Light Co.; VI/. T. Spencer, who is a bridge inspector for the Indiana State Highway Department; John Kimmel, who is with The Real Silk Hosiery Co.; Oren Neal, who was tmable to return because of his health, and J. T. Williams, who entered the niversity of Illinois. J. A. Timmons and L. T. Evans, who have been out of school for several years, have returned. Robert Daniels, Chi Chapter, is with us this year. He is taking chemical engineering. The results of try-outs for the Purdue Military Band show that Omega has six men in the organization. They are as follows: G. E. Spencer, C. E. '27, bass saxophone; Edwin Neupert, Ph. '28, clarinet; H. H. Thompson, E. E. '29, clarinet; H. B. Anderson, E. E. '29, alto; C. E. Adams, Ch. E. '30. trumpet; A. ]. Donov~n. Sc. '30, trombone.

the introduction of freshman week into the regi tration schedule, IphaDe!ta fin Is her elf facing a new rushing problem. II incoming freshmen will arrive one \veek prior to the start of instruction in order that they may become thoroughly acquainted With the campus, traditions and university life. 'l'hus our new men will be on the campus almost a Week before we can actually pledge them. Five men were graduated from \Va hington and Air ha-Delta of Pi Kappa Phi last June. 'l'hey were: Brother Ram ey, Damerell, Saunders, IcConnel and Scheffer. Saunder and Damerell received ma ter ' degrees. Pi Kapp rushing parties in Spokane have been Planned by Brother Russ Fraser, to take place the week before school begins in Seattle. Theater parties in Seattle are on tap for early in eptember and everal stag affairs are to take Place when the majority of brothers arrive in town the week before the grind begins.

'o/o/

Alpha-Delta's dinner date list now numbers forty men, which surely points to a magnificent start. Brothers Dupins, Allison and Finland spent the summer in Ala ka amid the ice and snow. Others, naming Fraser, Morgan, Murray, Porter, et al., vacationed in the inland empire and the heat. Brother \Vood will be Archon for the coming year and Brother rf organ will be house manager. During the spring quarter, April to June, Alpha-Delta more than took her place in the life at \\'a hington. The house entered teams in intramural baseball, tennis, handball and horseshoes. Brother "Red" Ramsey went big in track and represented the varsity in the twomile in the II Coast meet at Palo A Ito. He wa one of the athlete to repre ent \\' ashington in the national meet at Chicago, where he made a good third in the two-mile event. The chapter house ha been open all summer under the manager hip of Brother Jordan. Brothers Thomas, nclerson and Ter ig formed the center of the summer gang.
