Fraternities are returning to South Carolina under auspiCIOUS circumstances.

Fraternity men , members of the faculty , are anxious to help the new organizations, and every means is at their disposal to make good. Upon the members of Sigma chapter and those of other fraternities there , rests the responsibility of "showing the world " that fraterniti es do stand for something high and nobl e, for " above-the average" scholarship, for well -rounded charac ter. and for loyal service to alma mater.

And so to the new brothers of Sigma , as well as to those of Alpha -Nu and Alpha-Mu , we bid you welcome to Pi Kappa Phi and ex press the hope that here you will find your greatest opportunities for deve lopment of Christian manhood.

To you who would catch the gleam of un selfish service we say, "come.

Back to the Altar Dean Shepardson , one of America's foremost fraternity leaders, in his talk at the recent Interfraternity Conference in New York, urged upon the fraternity representatives there to re turn to the altars around which their founders gathered and on which they built their ideals of brotherhood .

Sight-Seeing With one exception Birmingham hasn't much to brag about in the way of sights. We have no Grand Canyon, no Stone Mountain. nor a Gold Coast, but at night we have a sight wonderful to behold . Birmingham is noted for its industrial activities. At night the great glaring furnaces of the city. belching forth their fumes and fiery smoke against a darkened sky, present ·a weird scene of unusual wonder.

While at the same time, from a mountain of slag, the molten impurities from the furnaces are poured, red hot, to make a scene that would cause the devil to grin in great glee.

It continued in successful operation down to June, 1862, when its buildings were taken pos session of by the Confederate government and used as a hospital until the close of the war.

Its charter was amended by the legislature in 1865, and in 1866 it was reopened as the Uni versity of South Carolina. It was again closed in 1877, in consequence of the unsettled poli tical condition of the state.

In 1878 the charter was again amended, and the university was divided into two branchesthe one , situated at Columbia, styled the South Carolina College; the other situated at Orangeburg. Claflin College.

One of George Ade's famous lines is that "A good musical comedy consists largely of dis orderly conduct occasionally interrupted by talk." Now you know as well as I do, that many good people in this state have exactly that idea about fraternities. Anxious discus sion along that very line is still underway at Furman. The faculty has made the pertinent suggestion that "further public agitation of the matter be discontinued until fair opportunity has been given the new generation of fraterni ties to prove whether they are essentially dif ferent from the trouble-makers of the past."

There you are. We must make good . We must choose ever so carefully the traditions we will follow, and those we will create .

Let's be .fraternity men; not " frat " men . In the three years I have been visiting colleges for Pi Kappa Phi, I don't recall hearing that term used once outside of South Carolina. With some of us it is doubtless as harmless and habitual as wearing a coat, but it symbolizes the old order in a sense that we don't want to keep . It is a tradition to do away with . If you are enough of a classicist to prefer Frater or fratres , I am with you ; but let's belong to a fraternity, not a " frat ;" and let it never be said here as it is at some schools , that fraterni ties and fraternity houses are only tolerated be cause they do. away with the necessity for new dormitories. We must build more soundly than that.

Pi Kappa Phi has the distinction of being the first national college fraternity to be founded in this state. It has the second highest number of members in the state-we admit that Kappa Alpha has a few more! and it has , therefore, a special responsibility for its attitude and its acts in reentering state schools . Brother " Ches" Reeves here , who ought to know about such things , is reported in THE STAR AND LAMP as stating in a Founders' Day talk in Atlanta several years ago, that the Pi Kappa Phi spirit is to be traced back. not only to that boy hood friendship among our founders , but be yond, back to the establishment of the College of · Charleston in 1785, a background which he is said to have said gives Pi Kappa Phi the distinction of being, not only the first fraternity

started in South Carolina, but in the entire South! e We won't check that up too closely becau~ I see there are some present who are not fro . ust· Charleston , but it shows we have the enth e asm that does things!

In the fraternity, in our tributes to its na~h and its purposes and all those things by wbt~ it symbolizes our friendships and our ide~s; we are able to give expression to many thoug \ that in the rush of business are denied us. 50 know you are with me when I repeat these verses , and I hope that each glass is full: Here 's to thee, 0 Pi Kappa Phi .

Here's to all who love thee ; Thy glory sparkles in the sky While angels watch above thee.

Here's to those who gave thee birth , May their good work never perish; We'll spread their fame through a11 the earth· Thy high ideals we'll cherish.

For we are the ones who love thee best, With thee we rise or fall; To thee we pledge our strength and zest.

Our love, our hearts, our all!

To thee we cling by ties so strong That naught on earth can sever ; We'll ring thy name and sing thy fame , 0 Pi Kappa Phi forever !

And then this group, having knocked at the portals of Pi Kappa Phi and having been allowed to enter, proceeded to celebrate their happy fortune ; quietly, in keeping with tbe solemnity of the occasion, but with a great, deep joyousness.

Soon after the final ceremonies had been completed and the existence of the Alpha-Mu chapter had been declared, the body of Pi Kapps intact, new and old, chose to sit at chilly, wind-swept New Beaver field to watch a powerful Penn State eleven fight fo r a 13 -0 win from George Washington University.

The same evening a banquet was held for installers, installed and guests at the Nittany Country Club, a short distance from State Col lege. It was here that the men completed the process of fraternalizing and growing into one

The guest of the evening was W . S. Hoffman, registrar at Penn State and a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. In addition to his words of congratulations and good wishes, the Pi Kapp conclave heard something from Doctor Work, Brother Ostergren of the New York Alumni Chapter, Brother Bridge, an alumnus of Omega chapter, Joe Moody, archon of Psi chapter, Walt Hoffman, archon of Alpha-Mu , and Ralpr Crane, president of the late alumni organization of Chi Lambda Zeta.

Before the group had risen to leave the tables to the mercy of the buss-boys, the new members were treated to their first Pi Kappa Phi songs by the boys from Cornell. And such was the appreciation on the part of the aud itors, and such the versatility on the part of the entertainers that this pleasant spirit remained in ascendency for the remainder of the evening, fitting end to a wonderful week-end.

CJ-eistory of Lambda Sigma at--> C9hio State University By

WILLIAM

Lambda Sigma, before her debut as Alpha Nu in Pi Kappa Phi, first saw the light of day in the autumn of 1921, and was proudly christened by her founders with the name La Salle. The organization became known as the La Salle Club, incorporated under the Jaws of Ohio, and prospered thus for four years.

La Salle was by no means the only club on the Ohio State campus at the time. There were some six or eight others, aJJ much older and more firmly established, not to mention several others which had disbanded , and all of them were of course quite disdainful of the young upstart.

But La Salle, like aJJ ambitious youths, leaped forward steadily and soon topped the list for scholarship records, athletics, and social qualities. The clubs had formed a league among themselves to foster better club interrelations, calling this central organization Tertulia , and for three years La Salle supplied the presidents. At the end of four years she held ti!e most trophy cups of any fraternity, Greek or non -Greek, on the campus, and even today, as Pi Kappa Phi, if not ranking first, surely comes second in the number of her trophies.

Every year the fraternity has been adding one or more cups to its collection, and is hoping again for the trophy given annually for the best fraternity act at the home-coming carnival -an honor which we have won three times out of our six years of existence.

It was during the home -coming in the fall of 1925 that La Salle withdrew from Tertulia, this league of clubs, changing her name to the Greek Lambda Sigma, and at the same time appointed committees to investigate the possibilities of nationalization for the fraternity, and also those first -class national fraternities open for expansion.

The governing body is a board of trustees appointed by the governor of the state with the approval of the state senate, for a period of seven years. At the present time there is an enrollment of over 10,000 students and a faculty of around 800 members.

Much credit for the rapid advancement of the university is due to the untiring efforts of President Emeritus William Oxley Thompson, who for 26 years was president of the uni versity. Prexy's love for the student is mani fested by his giving his entire life to the cause of perfecting education in the universities of today.

President George W. Rightmire took his position as president of the Ohio State U niversity in November, 1926.

Rhodes Scholars S Regularly each year throughout the United tares a certain number of capable. outstanding Young men are chosen by the various states as Rhodes Scholars. It is interesting to observe the qualities that are to be considered by the ~ate committees in making the final selections. he following are quoted: '' Qualities of manhood, force of character and leadership. ''Literary and scholastic ability and attainlllents. " Physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports and in other ways. " Participation and interest in open-air and athletic pursuits form an essential qualification f~r a Rhodes scholar, but exceptional athletic dtstinction is not treated as of equal importance With other requirements." . Pi Kappa Phi has had two Rhodes scholars 'n recent years. The brothers thus honored are Everett Way Highsmith. Lambcia. Uni -

cpi Kapp Impressions of the Legion's cparis eonventiorw

By GEORGE M. GRANT (Pas t Supreme Secretary of Pi Kappa Phi and Commander of the Legion Post at Troy , Ala.)

The greatest gathering ever known of ambassadors of good will. friendship and peace recently set foot upon foreign soil. nine years after the close of the greatest war of all time.

The 1927 convention of the American Legion has just closed in Paris, France, but the memory of this great gathering will long remain in countless American and French hearts. The convention was attended by over thirteen thousand Legionnaires and their families from every corner of the United States and several foreign countries. There were all classes of ex-service men and women from the millionaires to those whom the trip represented the savings of years.

However, there was no distinction upon the official legion boats or in the entertainment in France.

On Sunday proceeding the convention services were held at the American Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity and at Notre Dame Cathedral. In the American Cathedral is found the National Battle Cloister, which commemorates the Americans who perished in France. The great organ at Notre Dame played for the first time in its history the strains of the " Star Spangled Banner."

The convention officially opened the next morning. The sessions were held at the Trocadero, which is one of the largest buildings in Paris. It is situated on a slope a few blocks away from the Eiffel tower and commands a most interesting view. The convention was opened with prayer and the stage was lined with the national officers of the Legion as well as high officers of the American and French governments, among them being the President of France, General Pershing and Marshal Foch.

At 1 o'clock the greatest parade of its kind ever held in the world began to move. The line of march carried the parade under the Arc de Triomphe and pass the Notre Dame

trnents Cathedral. As the respective State d epar d a passed under the arch each marcher droppe.

Vte · Wtng the parade. The cheers from the ~rowds all along the line of march seemed to e sincere. "Vive! 1' American Legion!" was shouted from thousands and thousands of Voices. The various State departments strove ~ outdo the others in making a good showing. here were many good bands, drum and bugle corps.

The grand ball given by the French govern-

~ent Was the most outstanding social event of t e. convention. This was given at the opera Whtch is the largest theater building in the \Vhorld. The ball was attended by many of t e h'tgh officers of the French government and Prominent people of Paris, who seemed to strive to show their American visitors an enjoyable evening.

~ Many entertainments were given by the rench government and various clubs and assoc· · tattons, however, space prevents a mention

of all these. One of the most interesting was the aviation meeting given by the Reserve Aviation Officers in honor of the American Legion aviators. This was held at the government airdome and included a visit to the various hangars, exhibition of the latest models of aeroplanes, reception by the leading French pilots, exhibition of stunt flying and inspection of the great wind tunnel. General Mitchell of the Legion, who several years ago was demoted to the rank of Colonel because of his criticism of the United States air service, was present and made a plea to the Legionnaires for more progressive air legislation in America.

Many of the delegations made pilgrimages to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and placed wreaths upon it. This spot is known as the most sacred shrine in all of France. The tomb is directly underneath the Arc de Tri omphe, which arch was begun by Napoleon in 1806 to celebrate his victories; however , it was not completed until 1836. In 1871, German

conquerors marched under the arch with a triumphal parade. From that year until July , 1919, no procession was allowed to pass under it. On this date the American troops passed under it, being led by General Pershing. In the upper section are vaults which contain the countless number of wreaths that have been placed upon the Tomb. Upon the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier there burns a perpetual flame, this being rekindled by the Commander of the Legion by dipping a sword in the flame .

No one would have considered their trip complete without a pilgrimage to at least one American cemetery. The American cemeteries are the best kept of any in France. Something over thirty thousand of our boys lie beneath the green slopes of those cemeteries, there to rest forever. No one can look at the row upon row of crosses without taking renewed inspiration and promising himself that their deaths shall not have been in vain.

It is very :fitting that the American Legion celebrated the tenth anniversary of our entrance in the war by going back to France-back on a peaceful pilgrimage as the second A. E. F. It is very probable that the Legion will return to Paris for its 193 7 convention. There can noW be no mistake of the closenese of the tW 0 republics.

Many of the members of the first A. E. f. returned to America knowing France only as a war country. Some of the impressions left with them were not so good. Those who went over with the second A. E. F. knoW the peace-time France and are looking forward to the day when the third A . E. F . sets sail. TheY believe the words of Thomas Jefferson when he said: "Every man has two countries, his own and then France."

Convention Photographs Wanted The Central Office is anxious to have a com· plete set of photographs of all national con· ventions prior to 1923, and of all past supreme officers. Donations of such photdgraphs or information leading to their discovery will be thankfully received. Chapter house photo· graphs will be welcomed also.

Merle Zuver and Clair Sloan are representing Nu chapter on the Cornhusker gridiron this season. It is Zuver's second year on rhe varsity squad, having earned his "N" last year and numeral his first year. "Bosco" is efficient at either center or guard and for this reason is a valuable man. He is noted for his "behind the line tackles," an offensive play as well.

Sloan, a sophomore, has already earned recognition on the varsity. He has the best roe on the squad, his punts averaging well over sixty yards. In the K. U. game he received the ball from the kick-off on his own ten-yard line and ran through the entire Kansas team for a touchdown. He is a consistent line smasher and has won numerous honors for his team and himself.

c5l CJinancial Scheme that c;Banishes CVebt

By C. F. Of all the so-called problems which confran t the several active chapters. the financial problem is undoubtedly the one which affords the greatest concern and which, in some of its various phases, seems to be ever-present among college fraternity chapters.

It is also im portant for the reason that a chapter w ithout an adequate financial structure and an efficient management is invariably handicapped, no matter how strong the other activities of the chapter may be.

Although the principles of our fraternity have their foundation in the idea of brotherly love, it is nevertheless true that it is a dangerous experiment to attempt to mix brotherly love and dollars and cents in such a way that the dollars and cents side of the equation is reduced to zero or a minus quantity. A chapter, to be strong, must have a strong financial position and just how to accomplish this end is the problem to which our attention is constant ly directed.

The two causes which are responsible for most of the financial difficulties of an active chapter are inadequate revenue and unwise ex penditures. The latter of these two is obviously a question of management on the part of the treasurer of the chapter. A competent man ager is essentia l. However, a great deal can be done in the way of recording the experience of former years and analyzin g these statistics.

In this way a guide rna y be furnished to the new treasurer when he comes into office that wil l enab le him to benefit by the experience of his predecessors. Some fraternities have found it advantageous to al low the treasurer to exercise on ly a limited power, placing the real responsibility and authority in the hands of a local alumnu s or a committee of alumni . The former of the two causes, that of inadequate revenue. may be, in general. traced to the ab sence of a budget, or having a budget , to the fact that the budget was based on a certain minimum number of men and the failure of

ADAMS.

Nu

the chapter to have that number of men active in the organization.

Al5out two years ago, in April. 1926. to be exact, a group of the upperclassmen of :Nu chapter were delegated to bring forth some definite plan of operation by means of which the chapter could bring itself out of a temporarY financial slump and which wou ld prevent, in sofar as it was possible, any recurrence of that unfortunate situation. The committee, after reviewing the theory of chapter bouse management in somewhat the same manner as bas been discussed above, thereupon endeavored to work out a plan which would embody the essential features of a well-regulated business and at the same time to include certain provisions which were deemed essential in view of the fact that there are many problems peculiar to an active chapter of a college fraternity.

The result of their work has been very gratifying and the plan has been included in the by-laws of the chapter as " Law VII, Finance.''

The writer will not make any attempt to comment extensively upon the operation of the "X System" as it is sometimes called, for the reason that the plan as drafted seems to be fairly complete and understandable. Inasmuch as it has been in constant operation since MaY· 1926 , and since the chapter is now completelY out of debt and shownig a surp lus each month. and since it has not been necessary to make any changes in the plan whatsoever, it would seem that it had definitely passed beyond the experimental stage and can now be regarded as a tested and practicable method of conducting the financial affairs of an active chapter.

Reprinted below are extracts from the ByLaws of Nu chapter of Pi Kappa Phi , enacted January I 0 , 1927, as authorized by Law VI. Section 21, of the Supreme Laws of Pi Kappa Phi .

the chapter if retained for another year. Every effort is being made to this end, and the prosPects at this time seem to be rather bright for a recurrence of the feat.

With the score of "1. 00" as the highest Possible grade and "6.00" as the lowest, Kappa Won the cup with a percentage of 2.74. Thirtythree national fraternities were listed in the re Port issued by the registrar, the average fra ternity grade being 3.19. which was slightly h'tgher than the general academic average of 3路45. The cup was awarded II K <1? by virtue of its leading this list.

Out of the turbulent fray of one of Missis sippi's heated political contests has emerged Homer F. Benson, whom Fortune has twice blessed, for not only has she made him a repre sentative to the Mississippi legislature. but she has guided him into the brotherhood of Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Benson resumed his work in the Law School of the University of Mississippi after two years at State Teachers' College, and was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi in October. Although he is undertaking legislative work for the first time. he promises to show what a real Pi Kapp can accomplish when Mississippi's Jaw-makers meet in January.

Carr is a member of the college band, and the Red and Black Masquers and had to give up a place on the Glee Club.

Hall was forced to give up a promising career on the football field due to an early season in ·jury, but his work when track season comes around will not be hampered by this.

He is a member of the Stetson Male Quartet, and is a master of the banjo which he plays in specialty numbers in both the Glee rep Club and Quartet. Last year he was business manager of the Stetson annual. Stetson athMil letics has one of its strongest and most loyal cell backers in Brother Johnson, and during his ad· first two years on the campus he was head ad· cheer leader. It was only due to other activities that he was unable to accept the election !CO' ')as his last two years. He is a member of Psi hC Omega, national musical fraternity, and also of Phi Sigma Eta, national business fraternity.

J1l all Among other things, be is a member of the • a Student Publication Board, and has taken part in Stetson dramatics extensively.

We were glad to welcome back two brothers this year who have been out of school a year

or more. Charles Henderson, who left us last year to attend Yale Law School is back. He is a senior in the Law College, and a member of the Green Room Players, dramatic organization, and president of Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic fraternity . Chi is well repre sented in that organization not only by Brother Henderson, but also by Ed Henderson, and Brothers Lassiter, Smith and Kenyon , the latter three having been pledged recently.

Lloyd Layton, who has been absent for two years, is back to complete his degree in law.

He is a strong "cog" in the Hatter football machine, and old " grads" remember him as one of the greatest ends Stetson ever had.

We are also glad to have with us Cecil Grant from Omicron chapter. He has been elected assistant treasurer, and is our reporter for the college paper, as well as representative to the Student Publication Board.

Chi chapter held formal initiation for Gaylord Kenyon of Lake Worth, Fla .; C. A. Robetson of St. Petersburg, Fla. , and J . T. Smith of DeLand, Fla . We have ten more pledges.

The freshmen have found a source for their excess energy in working down the yard in front of the house. It has been plowed up and is being prepared for the planting of grass.

Brother Duckwitz, our faculty adviser, has very graciously contributed the seed , and we hope to have a nice lawn before many more months.

It will be a big improvement to our new house, and all the fellows are more than anxious to get it completed.

As usual, Pi Kapps hold the limelight on the football team. There are eight brothers on the team, as follows : Welshinger, end; Layton, tackle; Williams, guard; Jennings, guard; Smitli, half; Freeman, half; Bernard (Capt.), quarter, and Eustice, center. Sport writers in the state acclaim Freeman as one of the greatest backs in the South. He scored the lone touch down that defeated the Auburn Tigers, and the touchdown that tied the Southern Moc casins, and he scored the three touchdowns that defeated the strong Louisiana Tech team in Jacksonville on Armistice Day. This is his last year. The loss of Brothers Williams, Ber-

nard and Smith from the team will also be keenly felt next year. Bernard is one of the finest quarterbacks that Stetson has had in years, and certainly one of the best leaders as captain.

Harris Sims has been elected to represent the chapter at the Supreme Chapter Meeting in Birmingham. Last spring he was elected president of the student body by a huge majority, which alone is evidence of his popularity on the Stetson campus. Although a senior in the law school. his talent runs much to journalism, and during his three years' stay at Stetson he has been a valuable sports writer on The DeLand Daily News staff.

Four of our brothers were recently pledged to Phi Alpha Delta, national legal fraternity .

They wen~ : J . T . Smith, T. Joe Jennings, Jr., Lloyd Layton and Sledge T . Tatum. All except Brother Jennings are seniors in the law college.

The freshmen at the house have shown a fine spirit this year. Recently they presented each old man in the fraternity with a sheepskin upon which was the Pi Kappa Phi seal.

This was indeed a timely gift, and one that was greatly appreciated. · On the 9th of December the old men are reciprocating with a dance to be given at the house in honor of the first -year men.

Omega Back on the Job

By J . R.

EDWARDS

The school year is again in full swing here at Purdue. Much has been heard of our foot ball team since it beat Harvard. Although we have no men in the moleskin , we do have something like a dozen doing their oit by making music in the band. "Gus" Riggs is assistant director, and the foremost student band officer ; in fact , if the band officers were lined up about ninety per cent. of them would be Pi Kapps.

Bob Cline and Joe Nichols are playing in the " Saxophone Sextet" and broadcast regularly from radio station WBAA. "Chet' ' Adams and "Art" Donovan quit the band for the more lucrative position of playing in the foremost campus orchestra.

-··-t§f 54

Brother Brown, announcer at Station WBAA, Purdue University, presents some verY interesting programs. Jack Williams and " Bum" Baumgartner broadcast regularly to the accompaniment of "Eddie" Neupert at the piano, and "Art" Donovan on the banjo.

Tune in on station WBAA. R. E. Rector, captain of the fencing tearn· has his squad well under way in training.

Bob Nelson, track captain, is marking tirne until the indoor track season starts. He is a high jumper. "Bob" Daniels, our long, lankY basketball man, is making a strong bid for center position on the varsity.

Congratulations are in order for the brothers recently elected to honorary fraternities . TheY are: C. E. Backus, Tau Beta Pi; C. E. Gipe and F . W. Carl. Scabbard and Blade; W. H. C. Higgins, III. and H. G. Riggs, Eta Kappa Nu· This adds four more to our already large list of honorary men.

October saw the passing of another pledge dance, an informal affair at the house.

On Nov em her 5, 192 7, Omega had the unique privilege of sending ten men to Ohio State to install Alpha Nu chapter. No more pleasurable experience can be presented to a brother than to have the honor of serving on a team for such a glorious mission. By being on that team I wish to express the sentiments of Omega , that our brothers at Alpha Nu are certainly a good "gang." The minute your hat is off in 't hat chapter house you feel at home. Hail to Alpha Nu! May we add the same hearty welcome to her twin sister.

Just a word about our new men . Bill is our young hopeful doctor. Kube aspires to be an athletic director like Fielding H. Yost , and by the looks of his record . he will be! Kube has had two years on the varsity baseball team , and reserve football squad , and has been elected to Michagamua, Michigan's all campus hon orary society.

Ken was elected to Tau Beta Pi last semester and is also holding a university scholarship. ' 'Firpo" Flajole is our shining sophomore who made the varsity squad this fall. and has the makings of a real football player.

Yes, it was a gloriously successful week -end .

Friday night with its informal party found many of our old "alums" back again strutting their stuff to the strains of music by seven colored boys. Then on Saturday came the dedication of Michigan 's brand new and most wondrously planned stadium. And with the most beautiful weather possible, and a capacity crowd of 86 ,000 people, Michigan's varsity dedicated the stadium by defeating Ohio State .

21 to 0 . Early Sunday morning found the chapter in action, and the ritual was given the eleven men.

Twenty new members' robes added much to the impressiveness of the occasion .

We are mighty pleased with our pledges this semester. The freshman group consists of Clyde Jones , who is proving to be a real scholar ; Jeb Maebius. brother of Ken , a wrestler and cross country man; Bin~ney, who has an advertising business of his own; Bill Knotke, a cross country man, brother of a member at Alpha -Theta: Layton, a real man with the ladies: and Wetmore, a member of the frosh football squad. Among the sophomore pledged are: Dick Edwards, who deals in

books ; Chapman, who hails from the west, and Els Larson , a high -powered salesman from Indiana. Bill Norris is another prospec tive athletic director and an all-around athlete, and although a junior, expects to have two more years with us.

We are fortunate in having with us Shirley Brumm from Alpha -Theta and Truman Woodward, Jr., from Alpha-Beta, Tulane University. Both are proving to be real workers, even though Woody does have a failing for the ladies. His spirit from the southern stronghold of Pi Kapp chapters however is real inspiring, and is aiding in putting Alpha Kappa chapter where it belongs on the Michigan campus.

By WALTER L. MEJO It was with a great deal of pleasure that we received the news of the acceptance of Chi 1 lambda Zeta, at State College, Pa ., into the brotherhood and that Psi was to send the Initiation team .

Brother Work , installing officer, and the Writer left Ithaca Thursday noon, November 3, followed next day by a caravan of four conveyances, and eleven Pi Kapps, and . started Work soon after everyone had arrived. The final ceremony was completed shortly after noon on Saturday when the new brothers were Presented with their badges. The whole affair, including the banquet, held at the beautiful Nittany Country Club, was voted a huge success. The brothers of Alpha-Mu sure did show Us a royal time-one which all of us will look back upon as the beginning of a lasting bond of friendship between the two chapters and the end of Psi's long period of isolation in the Northeast.

Twenty-three men returned to the chapter

this fall and started the rushing season with a bang. As a result we have nine pledges who will be received soon into "the full bonds of fraternal union ." They are: Stewart Paterson, Rochester, N . Y.; Allan Ritz, Kendall.

N . Y.; Philip Pratt, Sherman , N . Y.; Willard Vandervoort, Warwick, N. Y.; James Ford, Montour Falls, N. Y.; Albert Reid , Mt. Holly, N. J.; Walter Schlotzhauer, Ithaca , N. Y.; Ralph Lewis, Attleboro, Mass., and James Donovan, Canandaigua, N. Y. Although we lost two track stars by graduation in "Ev" Bradley and "Jerry" Murray, the rest of the fellows are busily engaged in some activity or other. " Norm" Scott has played in every game but one so far as fullback on "Gil" Dobie's " Big Red Team." "Scottie" is practically assured of his letter and is only a sophomore. " Bud" Brandt has just finished fall baseball practice and is now starting basketball and hopes to make his letter this year. Carl is taking care of the finances of the house.

"Joe" Moody, our present archon, is rowing every night down on the lake and stands a good chance for a berth on the varsity. He stroked the Forestry crew to victory in the intercollege race last spring.

"Pez" Pesez, "Temp" Schofield , "Howie" Knapp and pledges Ford and R eid are working out regularly on the cinder path.

"Walt" Mejo is head cheerleader, a member of " Quill and Dagger," senior honorary society. and cadet captain in the R . 0 . T. C. He is also historian and steward of the house.

Ron Orr, member of Chi Epsilon, honorary civil engineering fraternity, Art Hoke and "Peep" Wallace are receiving their quota of mat burns.

"Rosker" Cull and AI Sulla are quite proud of their brand new uniforms, which they re ceived two weeks ago as members of the band .

We had a fine turnout of alumni back for the Princeton game October 22, and the week end was appropriately topped off with a formal on Saturday evening which "went over big" in spite of the many dances on the " hill" that night.
