Supreme Archon of the Fraternity

" C/1. A

M I my brother's keeper?" Such were the words, we are told, with which Cain tried to evade the guilt of his brother Abel's murder. How many times, through the succeeding centuries, have they been used when men have sought to justify their selfish acts and to shirk their responsibility to society and fellow man! It is a far cry from the time and place of the story of Cain and Abel to the modern fraJernity house on the university campus. Yet, even as Cain's answer to the question brought ruin to him, so upon the answer which we, as fraternity men, make to the question depends the success or failure of our fraternity life. Within the past two months, as th? result of initiations, many names have been added to the roster of Pi Kappa Phi. We expect great things of these men. They have been picked with care; they have been drilled in the tenets of our order; they have gone through the ceremony of initiation and their minds have been filled with the noble lessons enshrined in its instructive symbolism. Will these lessons become a vague, misty phantasy, or will they bear fruit in better ordered lives and personal achievement? The answer depends primarily not upon the initiate. He is largely willing and plastic material in the hands of his older brothers. If they constitute themselves their brothers' keepers, rarely will these younger brothers fail to respond. But the crux of the matter lies here. In principle, we are filled with fraternal zeal, with loyalty to the fraternity's undertakings and ideals. It is daily practice, however, which turns the scales.

Do we believe that our initiates should pass their courses with credit to themselves and the chapter? Then we older men must do our assigned tasks, whatever they may be, systematically, conscientiously, thoroughly. Do we want our initiates to be men of honor, scrupulously meeting their obligations, financial, social, moral? Then we must pay our bills promptly and must carry out our promises and con tracts to the letter. Do we require our initiates to obey the house regulations, to keep rooms and furnishings neat and attractive, to act always in a manner suitable to the occasion? Then we must evidence our culture and training through bemeaning ourselves fittingly at all times in speech, dress, and conduct. It is easy to talk brotherhood and then cater to our own desires and habits. Our fraternity, .our chapter house, we ourselves as fraternity men are judged by specific acts and attitudes such as those which have been mentioned. It is in attention to these that we constitute ourselves our brothers' keepers. Upon the extent to which we bear ever in mind the reaction of our deeds, thoughts, and words upon our brothers will depend the influence which we shall exert in implanting Pi Kappa Phi ideals in the hearts of Pi Kapps.

It is from the

great annual catches of salmon and halibut that the bulk of Alaska's gold is coming. And one of Pi Kappa Phi's brothers, Norman Freeman, Alpha-Delta, is playing a part in the drama that modern science is staging to increase the abundance of food fishes-notably the halibut- in North Pacific waters. Brother Freeman, a graduate of the University of Washington in 1925, is now in his third year as scientific assistant with the International Fisheries Commission, the body organized to study the habits of the halibut, that epicurean dish whose extinction was threatened by the wholesale methods employed by fishermen.

THE STAR AND LAMP OF Pr KAPPA PHI Dividing his time between sea voyages on small power schooners conducting research into the life habits of the halibut and statistical compilation on shore, Brother Freeman recently took charge of the Prince Rupert, British Columbia, office of the Commission. From that office, and the branch in Ketchikan, Alaska, be redeems the tags, turned in by fishermen , which are taken from fish caught at sea. These tags, numbered and catalogued, are put on halibut by the scientific staff while on research cruises and the fish tossed back into the sea. When caught by the commercial fishermen, who keep chart positions of the various catches, the tagged fish are brought

to the commission's offices where premiums a~ paid for the bits of brass attached to the gi!l 5 On a trip last winter, Brother Freeman w~' 11 at sea for over a month at one time and "was rough?" He asks, "WAS it? Say, for two week' we were on beam's end, and bow!" Both Canadians and Americans comprise thInternational Fisheries Commission, wh 0~ headquarters are on the University of Washing ton campus with the College of Fisheries. J3ro tber Freeman is a graduate of the Fisheries Col· lege, said to be the only one of its kind outsidi Japan and which has attained internatio11 3 recognition.

The Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Trophy

The time will soon be here for determining the winners of our scholarship pendants for this year. Some excellent records are already in the hands of the chairman of the scholarship com mittee and more are expected before the close of the school year. The winning of this trophy is a real distinction, for at most nine pendants may be awarded in any one•year, and the award is made only to our seniors and juniors whose scholarship records prove to be the best in the whole fraternity. The trophy, a picture of which appears on this page, is really very attractive. It was designed to be suggestive of our fraternity insignia and thus be readily recognizable by any Pi Kappa Phi, and at the same time be sufficiently different from our badge as to be distinctive. The pendant proper not including the ring is about one inch in length. The star and lamp and the letters II K <l? are in gold on a b lack background and the motto is in black letters on a gold background. The motto ~ocp'ia NtKij. translated means "Wisdom {or knowledge) conquers," and was chosen from among several suggested by our supreme archon. Two of these trophies were awarded last year to Brothers T. H. Grafton, Beta, and W.

C. Pritchard, Omega. It is hoped that ever.\ brother who feels that he is eligible for tht' award will see that his complete college scholarship record is sent to the chairman of the sch 01 arship committee before the close of this school year. The names to be added to the two na!J'lf! above should represent our most excellent schol· ars.

College Education bu A 111ost interesting report from the Federal teau of education states that of 1000 children

who enter the first grade 107 graduate from high school, 59 enter college and only 20 graduate from college. That earning power and education are closely related is brought out clearly by the report which states that untrained persons earn from $400 to $1200 per year ; those with a common school education, $600 to $1500; high school education , $850 to $2450; and college education, $1400 to $5000. The report shows that graduates from the common schools are fitted for unskilled and semi-skilled jobs. High school graduates are prepared for apprentice, semi-skilled and skilled jobs. College education is required for the professions. Also the more highly educated the individual is, the longer he is able to increase and maintain his earning power. Every Pi Kappa Phi should strive to complete his college course.

Did You Know That Pi Kappa Phi has four Rhodes scholars, Brothers Guy Richard Vowles, Epsilon; Corydon P. Spruill, Jr., Kappa; Everett Way Highsmith, Lambda , and Charles Eugene Springer. AlphaGamma. A story concerning them is in the course of preparation and will appear in the October number of THE STAR AND LAMP. Seventeen of our chapters report to the scholarship committee a total of 117 seniors or an average of seven seniors per chapter. These same chapters report 3 55 active members and 124 pledges. This indicates that almost exactly 25 per cent of the Pi Kappa Phi in these chapters will graduate this spring, which shows a most excellent balance of class membership. ~

Smathers to Run Again With the Democrats threatened with revolt over the Smith issue, North Carolina Republicans are hoping to capture the Tenth Congressional District. Kenneth Smathers, Eta (Emory), who was the Republican candidate in the last election and who greatly reduced the standing Democratic majority, is already at work and promises a most vigorous campaign.

cpi Kapps and 8klahoma's Wonder

G:Basketball By Ross G. Oklahoma's basketball team in 192 8 broke the string of six straight championships won by the Kansas University team when it went through an eighteen game schedule without a defeat and easily won the championship, their first Missouri Valley championship. Missouri, in second place, won thirteen games and lost five . The Oklahoma team averaged 3 9 points per game and held opponents to an average of only 2 7 points per game. The dash and pep dis played by the team is seen in the fact that in only one game did opponents outscore the Sooners in the last half. Only two games were very close, they being won by one-point mar gins.

Detroit Alumni Chapter Holds Spring Pa?ty The first party given by the Detroit Alumni Chapter since it was established was held at Allen's Althea Garden at Redford, Mich., the evening of March 31. Invitations were extended to the Michigan Chapters. Alpha- Theta and Alpha-Kappa, and both of the undergraduate chapters responded with a good representation. The brothers from Michigan State college came in an automobile, and a larger representation from the University of Michigan chartered a motor bus. A delicious dinner was served at 8:30. The brothers and their guests were seated at a long table which was decorated with spring flowers and the red roses of Pi Kappa Phi. There was dancing between courses and after dinner.

Was only a short four years ago that Pi Dafpa Phi's " farthest away " chapter, Alpha eta, at the University of Washington, was born F . \Vh 路 our years of constant growth in strength in ose anniversary found "alums" looking back a t~ the past, thinking of the :first beginnings of fi ~d apter that was really launched on the battle8 \! e. of France-not on a peaceful American nwer .

deeper and deeper into the sodden soil. One half million Canadians, of whom almost a quarter fell, never to rise again, were stretched along that bloody sector. Here, among the desolation and havoc of war, Alpha-Delta was born. Although the organization did not come into life until four years later, the twelve men who were instrumental in its foundation were among those half-million heroic Canadians of Vimy Ridge and the battle itself served as a common bond to bring together the founders. It is a long stretch from the stark reality of war to the placidity of post-war Seattle. When the war ended, the dozen men who were later to unite themselves into the University Cana dian Club, laid aside their instruments of war and picked up their quest for knowledge where they had left off before the call to arms. The situation was not enticing. They had become older. Their views were changed. The frivolities of college life that had appeared so alluring attracted them no longer. They had left college as youths and came back as men. It seemed natural therefore that these men would seek to band themselves together for mutual companionship. Each year the Seattle Canadian Club gave a banquet commemorating the victory at Vimy Ridge. Among the guests were all the Canadian returned soldiers. At the second annual banquet Canadian veterans attending the U niversity of Washington were naturally drawn together and there sprang up the idea of forming a University Canadian Club, devoted primarily to the interests of students from the North attending the university. · A committee composed of J. H. Mitchell, F. B. Farquharson, E . L. Dawe, Vic Sivertz and E. L. McNaughton drew up a constitution. On May 5, 1920, the first general meeting was held and the club became a reality. Soon after its organization the University Canadian Club rented a house and became active on the campus. The rise of the club was phenomenal. The grim lessons of war stood the members in good stead so that within a

year the club had won three silver athletic rro· phies as well as much scholastic distinction· Never was there a more determined group of young men . What they desired they fought for as tenaciously as they had in the khaki-clad contingents. To Ernest Dawe goes much of tbC credit for the success of the Canadian Club-be was the inspiration as well as leader. After a year and a half of success as a club the idea became prevalent that closer and finer relationship might result from changing tbC club into a national fraternity limited to menl· hers of Canadian birth. The plan was to et· pand to other colleges having enough Canadians to form a chapter. Consequently, on December 6, 192 L the Canadian Club was changed to Alpha Chapter of Chi Upsilon Chi. From that time on the going became mor< and more difficult. Upon becoming a Grec~ letter fraternity the club entered into active corn· petition with old and well established national fraternities; the number of Canadian students attending the university was not large and n,anl' of them joined the larger and stronger frater· mtles. The constitution was amended to all 011, men of British origin to become members but there were few Britishers other than CanadianS· Chi Upsilon Chi did not fare so well as tbC Canadian Club and upon investigating otbC~ schools it was found that there were not enoug Britishers to form other chapters. There gre'~ up a strong sentiment that favored attachment with some strong national. ConsequentlY th~ fraternity was thrown open to Americans all a search for the best national was launched. After much consideration Pi Kappa Phi -w;~ chosen and a petition was sent to national hea . quarters. In February, 1924, Chi Upsilon C!JI became Alpha -Delta of Pi Kappa Phi. , Now Pi Kappa Phi has become one of tb• ranking fraternities on the local campus. Alph 3 35 Delta has enjoyed a remarkable growth and. the chapter farthest from the mother group. uP~ holds the standards of Pi Kappa Phi in a -wal that is creditable not only to the founders of our national group but to the old "vets" of the University Canadian Club.

Hazing Is Banned Elsewhere in this issue, Dr. Wagener, our Supreme Archon, calls forcefully to our attention the resolutions of the Interfraternity Conference, condemning the tendency in certain quarters to perpetuate the archaic custom of hazing fraternity pledges and staging "rough-house" initiations. This is a most timely warning and is it necessary for the editor to urge our undergraduates to heed it? The effect of such a practice should be obvious to all and it should not be necessary to call upon our undergraduate brothers to steer clear of such a policy. As Dr. Wagener so fittingly points out, our initiation is a beautiful ritualistic ceremony, in which the new brother is brought from the coldness of mere acquaintanceship to the full glow of fraternal warmth. This service is intended to impress upon the new brother the seriousness of our organization and the worthiness of fraternity comradeship. Can he be favorably impressed by resounding whacks of wooden paddles or by frantic gulps for air after ducking in a cold tub? On the face of it, outside "rough-house" demonstrations should never be countenanced.

Such displays of school boyishness give the public a fine opportunity to condemn the fraternity system as a shallow and vain institution and un worthy of the serious right-thinking student. Surely, no brother in Pi Kappa Phi would wish to bring condemnation upon our noble order, but if there is any chapter that allows this sort of public " horseplay" it is aiding and abetting in this campaign of criticism. Let us have none of it and we will keep the nam e of Pi Kappa Phi unsullied.

By GEO. M . O 'REAR

An Unusual Record Surely the record of the eleven brothers of Omicron Chapter, who were initiated together four years ago and who during the intervening college course have remained and will be graduated together this spring is unusual. Apparently their motto was, " If we eleven must part let's all hang together. " In these days of incompleted college courses when " flunks " are common causes for " drop ping out," this record is all the more note worthy. Each of the brothers is to be con gratulated and to them we offer our smcere wishes for sti ll greater success in life.

Detroit's Fine Example The "up and going" alumni chapter at Detroit has set an inspiring example to the rest of the fraternity in its awards for meritorious scholarships to the two undergraduate chapters in Michigan. Handsome loving cups are to be awarded these chapters, and surely they will be an inspiration to the und ergraduate brothers to so maintain their scholastic standing as to merit the esteem of the Detroit alumni. With such co-operation as this displayed by an alumni chapter, a high standard of excellence in scholarship is bound to be maintained by the undergraduate chapters.

Jasper, Ala., A Pi Kapp Town, Too

Jasper. Ala., boasts of even a better reco~c 11 than that of Henderson, N. C. . as published the last issue of THE STAR AND LAMP. I-{en 1, derson is really a Pi Kapp town. having re: c members in a town given only six thousan people by the census. But so is Jasper . !h~~ n are eleven Pi Kapps in Jasper. a town whtC · the census gives five thousand. and this is un· c · ali usual from the fact that there was not a s tn~ t Pi Kapp in Jasper six years ago. Leo H. poo l: Omicron, present Supreme Historian, was th' t man who put Jasper on the map of Pi KaPP' Phi. He moved to Jasper in 1922 after gra~OP ating in law at the University of Alabama "11 t high honors. e Two years later. Neilsen O 'Rear and La'' Ellis attended Alabama and were initiated in!l' Omicron chapter in 1924. Early in 1925 pi'' Jasper boys were taken in: Edward Hamilton Robert Argo. and George O'Rear at Omicron and Drew Gibson and Cliff Brown at Alphl Eta, bringing the total to eight. In the sprin~ of 1925 Bob Mundine was initiated at Omicro~ ')tO~ and in the fall of 1925 Sylvanus Hamt brought the total to ten. Jasper's last t11an was Edward Mundine, a brother to Bob !vh~~ dine. He was initiated in February, 1927. . soon as the men who are attending college 11 o'' 1 graduate Jasper intends to organize an alut1'1 n chapter and will probably be the smallest to'~n to boast of a Pi Kappa Phi alumni chapter. Of the men named above, Edward Hamilton ·n• Robert Argo, George O'Rear, and Bob Mundt are still in school at Alabama; Drew Gib 5 ~n ...r 1 • and Cliff Brown are at Howard College. !''e sen O'Rea r is in the gasoline business; E llis is connected with the Powell Garage an.

There is no provision in the law of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity relative to such hazing. The sentiment of the Supreme Council and of the fraternity at large is, however, strongly opposed to such practices. We possess a beautiful ceremony of initiation which in itself is dignified and impressive and which is ruined by any admixture of hazing. It is my belief that certain of our chapters still indulge in the practice of hazing pledges before 1mttatton. You are therefore requested to call the attention of the chapters in your district to this matter and to urge as strongly as possible the abolishment of hazing in every form. I prefer to use advice and persuasion rather than definite legislation. Point out the danger and folly of such a practice and the injury which is done to the fraternity in the public esteem. I interpret hazing to be personal violence of any type and demeaning stunts performed either in public or in private. The performance of bouse duties, the rendering of services to older brothers, and restrictions in hours or social activities I regard as legitimate.

Spartanburg Alumni Reorganize The Spartanburg alumni chapter of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity met in the Zeta chapter room Wednesday, March 7 for reorganization. Thirteen Pi Kapps were present, but even that failed to dampen the spirits of those who were determined to get the fellows together at least once a month. Paul Thomas was re-elected archon, J. J. Burnette, Jr., treasurer; J. Cham Freeman, secretary, and Bill McKay, corresponding secretary. The second Monday in each month was definitely decided upon as the regular meeting night.

By DOUGLAS WILLIX, EVERY fraternity house has its scientists, or some-day scientists, or wou ld -be scientiststhose lads with stained fingers and waste baskets full of formula covered paper. Alpha Delta , of the University of Washington, mod estly but firmly , takes the position of the oldtime country editor and "points with pride" at her two outstanding chemists-Victor Wellman and Elton Allison. Brother Wellman, a graduate student, cheerfully occupies his spare moments gracefully turning aside remarks about his gridiron eyebrow (yes, eleven on a side!) but, as a former football star, he 's entitled to the decoration. Innate modesty, by the way, forbids Brother Vic from affecting the exposed wa ist-coat of the academically successful, though he is one of those rare people-a member of both Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic honorary, and of Sigma Xi, that fortress of highest scientific attain ment.

He is a past president of t:tJe Jocal chapter of P c Lambda Upsilon, chemistry honorary. 'd th 1 Vic's a graduate of Philli?s University, En'.n' 1 aI Oklahoma, where he starred for two years football and won three letters in tennis. !'1~: Ill.! content with that, he was editor of the college qu tal year book, The Phillipian, in 1923.

weakness is lent his brother's strength. Close association with a few brothers eaches a man to appraise the outside world, to influence it by his strength, and tbrough brotberly assistance to be influenced in his weak points. Fraternity lends strength to each individual and strength to the wbole. It teaches tbe men under its influence to be creators of circumstances, to be rulers of tbemselves and hence to be rulers of the world. Let a man tbrough fraternity be made capable of fraternity and he need never fear cbaracter destruction. Fraternity is a powerful and peculiar force. Real fraternity can never barm or impoverisb, and often cbeers and enriches. Tbe capability for fraternity is a gift from tbe divine. Tbe main object of a fraternity, tben, sbould be exercise of Fraternity. All other purposes should sink into insignificance beside tbis. Not tbat all otber sides of life sbould be dropped; for often tbey may cooperate and aid. But every conflicting element sbould be done away. The members of a fraternity sbould learn tbrough Fraternity to know tbemselves, to know tbeir brother, to rule tbemselves, to become forceful men, powerful in this world's regard; to be noble men of character irreproachable, powerful in tbe spirit of tbe world to come; to be, in sbort, men really great. With this accomplisbed, no fraternity need be ashamed of its work. May it be the goal and well -accomplished task of Pi Kappa Phi to lead through trials and despair to the clear light of a noble spirit, great now and great forever. ~

The Interfraternity Conference The Interfraternity Conference, of which Pi Kappa Phi is a member, is an association of 65 national fraternities which affords the opportunity for discussion and exchange of ideas on questions of mutual interest thereby moulding and influencing fraternity opinion and conduct along those lines best calculated to promote a healthy character within and a healthy reputation without; to study the relationship between fraternities and colleges in order to suggest those adjustments which increase harmony and useful co-operation; and to make such recommendations to its members as it deems wise, it being understood that the functions of the Conference are purely advisory.

The gardens are at their height at this season of the year and members of the party declared it a unique experience to see so beautiful a scene. At the banquet Saturday night business affairs were attended to and much mention was made of tbe entertainment for the convention here in 1929 .

College Youths Better Than Fathers Says Dr. Douglas "College boys of today behave better tban their parents did twenty -five or thirty years ago,:· said Dr. Davidson McDowell Douglas, prestdent of the University of South Carolina "and I know they study more now than the; did when I was in college. The people who knoc.k the. younger generation nowadays were no ltttle ttn angels when they were in college, and you can bank on tbat." Commenting on tbe effect of Greek letter fraternities, which have recently been readmit ted to the university, on college life, Dr. Douglas said he thought that they would be a powerful influence for good, since each chapter compels its members to stand for things which are in the interest of the university as a whole. " I do not agree with those who say that fraternities . divide the scbool into too many cliques. I think these same cliques are beneficial. The influence of boys on boys is far greater than all tbe deans and presidents in the country, and since tbe fraternities have to stand up for the right things if they want to 'rate' on the campus, tbey will naturally make their members conform to standards."

You Such a wonderful pronoun: You. It means You and has nothing to do with others. God has placed His Infinite potentiality in one seed planted in the world. One man. You. What are you doing with that seed? You may say, "I am just one woman." How many women do you want to be? Florence Nightingale was just one woman, but her work led to the Red Cross r How much worse off we should have been had Madame Curie, when her husband passed away, said, " I am just one woman." Great work always begins with one person. It is because we minimize ourselves that we do not accomplish. We do not realize the power of the positions in which we are placed. Who but you can stop war? You decide what the world is and shall be. Never mind about what the other fellow thinks or does or does not do. It is what You think, what You do. To whom is the Sermon on the Mount addressed? To many? Christ said, "Verily, I say unto you." "Let your light shine before "Ask, and it shall be given you." "Ye men. are the light of the world."

A New Rhodes Plan The trustees of the Rhodes Trust in England are planning to change the established methods of selecting Rhodes scholars, particularly in th; United States and Canada. The standards 0d choice and the total number of scholars selectc will remain as they are. But the present pJaO of giving each state and Canadian province one scholar in two out of each three years will be abandoned and, instead, each of these countrieS divided in to eight areas, each division sending four scholars a year to Oxford. d At present the sparsely populated states all provinces have the privilege of selecting a scholar as often as do the heavily populated districts Under the new scheme, wherein the divisions will be about equal in population, some state~ may send more than one boy in any year, a~ some states will have none, all of the boys 10 the section competing against each other and thf four best being chosen. This seems a much fairer basis of selecti 00 than the present one, in which the boys who ruO second in some states and therefore do not go ro Oxford often are considered better than some of the winners in other states. The proposal a; least approaches the theoretically perfect plan ~ selecting the thirty -two best in the whole t]nt' ted States and the best in all Canada.-The duceus of Kappa Sigma.

After Me Cometh a Builder And some day, a chapter house. . . . Intangible, those early dreams. Vague excursions into the never-never land. Half-hearted planning. Then, with the . hope of realization, work-hard work. " Sacrifice and servicegiving, not receiving. " Another college generation puts aside caps and gowns, and helps to pay for a chapter home it may never see. After many years the house is built. The latch is open. On the door, a crested knocker. Above the hearth, the coat-of-a rms. And you who enter call it home, " something you somehow haven't to deserve ." Home, from the day it was built- no, long before, for it is a house built upon a rock, a home founded upon a faith-faith in those who have gone before, faith in those who are to come. Into those walls have gone the courage of youth undaunted. Around that hearth have circled the dreams of youth believing. And from those doors shall go understanding youth, repeating "After me cometh a Builder. Tell him I. too, have known . . . ."-The Angelos of Kappa Delta.

Fraternity Snobbery at Its Worst When fraternity chapters prescribe, either by legislation or custom, that members shall "date" only members of certain sororities or only members of sororities, they make use of their organi zation for a most contemptible purpose. Such action not only brands the chapters with worse than petty snobbery, but it adds weight to the criticism so frequently expressed that fraternities are essentially undemocratic and therefore have no place in educational institutions which should respect only aristocracy of brains. -The Rattle of Theta Chi.

The baseball season is again here, and Nu Chapter is already in training for another inter-

fraternity pennant. We have an abundance of fine material. and the chances are very good for another championship team. Nu is leading in the interfraternity bowling tournament, and with the season nearly over. the championship is almost a cinch. Brother Sloan is high point man in the league, and haS been a great factor in keeping Pi Kappa Phi at the top of the percentage column. Nu Chapter recently initiated twelve pledges in Pi Kappa Phi . The following men were initiated : Hugh Blum, Lee Blum, Howard Christiansen, Don Davies, Seldon Davey, Ralph Trester, Dudley Thompson, Lou StockwelL Robert King , Herbert Knudsen, Les Hedges. and Richard Parli. The chapter, by unanimous vote, decided to assess each member $2.50 per month to be placed in a fund for the building of a ne 1'' home. This is not in effect an assessment, bur is applied as payments on the house buildin.g notes which every man signs at the time he 15 initiated . While we own our home now. the recent trend of new fraternity houses has been nearer the campus, and we are setting ast'dC a fund which will be in readiness when we actua ll y need the money. The chapter has been investigating several desirable building sites near the campus, and in the near futu~c expects to buy a lot in the new fraternity addt· tion to the University campus.

Brothers Lindsey, Hamilton and Park are finishing with very high scholastic standings, Park being a member of Sigma Eta national honorary commerce fraternity. Robert Argo is junior track manager of this year's squad, is a member of Scabbard and Blade, and holds a fellowship in Spanish. Ramsey is treasurer of Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity and is junior manager of the baseball team. Hamner, who holds down the receiving end, was responsible for our lone score with a two-base hit in a game with the Birmingham team of the Southern League.

He registered his third letter in basketball. by captaining the Crimson Cagers through a rather stiff schedule. He is also well on his way to a third letter in track, as he is the leading high jumper and high hurdler. DeBardeleben is a

Stu dent elections here are of the keenest rivalry and as the saying goes, "hotter than a depot stove." We are running Bob Mundine for editor of the Corolla, the school annual. with good chances of success. Win or lose, it is a splendid lesson in co-operation and teamwork. In the interfraternity basketball tournament Omicron was defeated by the Sigma Alpha Epsilons after winning the first game from the Phi Kappa Sigs. There is some consolation, how ever, in the fact that the Sigma Alpha Epsilons won the cup and we gave them the stiffest battle they have encountered in two years. The baseball season is in full swing and under the leadership of Brother Lindsey we expect to capture the Pan-Hellenic cup. At the annual banquet following spring football training Jack McGuire was elected varsity football manager for next fall. which means that he will soon get the coveted "A." Omicron was recently honored with a visit from two brothers from Psi chapter who were spending their spring holidays in the Sunny South.

The fra · ternity room was decorated in fraternity col· ors, and red roses were displayed. A receiV' ing line, consisting of the faculty and the moth• ers and fathers of the members, greeted the guests. They were introduced to the new men and then turned over to the other members of the fraternity. A committee has been appointed to inves· tigate proposals and to formulate a definite plan for the building program. As this is the first year since the repeal of the antifraternitY law, Sigma will have a few years in which to accumulate a fund sufficient to build a house· Naturally we hope to be among the first to build.

The interfraternity relations of Pi Kappa Phi at Mercer were strengthened when two fraternities , Phi Alpha Delta, national legal, and Sigma Upsilon , national literary, held initia tions in March. Alpha Delta, local organization, became the William Hansel Fish chapter of Phi Alpha Delta on March 2. Brother Pollard Jent, of Macon, is president of the legal chapter. Other Pi Kapps who belong to the law fraternity are Paul Etheridge, of Atlanta; Glenn B . Hasty, Marietta, and Prof. Joe A. McClain, dean of the Mercer Law school. Brother McClain 1s a charter member of Alpha -Alpha chapter. When Jimmie Sharp, of Macon , and Paul Etheridge, of Atlanta, were initiated into the El Dorado chapter of Sigma Upsilon on March 8 , the representation of Pi Kappa Phi in the literary order was made larger than that of any other social fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi has four members in the Sigma Upsilon chapter at Mercer. June Ellis, of Macon , was initiated recently into the Round Table, Mercer honorary organi zation.

faculty and administrative shake-up. Several prominent faculty members were not re -e lected at a recent meeting of the board of trustees, and various changes were made in the university curriculum. ~

Alpha-Beta Talks With Carnival Season long past and only a memory and with the ending of Lenten Season, Alpha-Beta emerges from its forty days of sackcloth and ash, and like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, stretches its wings in the sunshine of more varied and energetic activities on its campus and at home. In sports, Alpha-Beta was well represented in basketball with Wi lmer Jones as a star forward. Baseball which now occupies the spotlight in college activities finds Brothers Birdwell. Thompson, and Harding working hard for places on the Varsity. While here in training with the Cleveland Indians, Luke Sewell of Omicron visited us and his visit was a source of much pleasure. Initiation ceremonies have been held and six new men now wear Pi Kappa Phi pins. They are James Mims, James Webb , John Mulhearn, Archie Carraway, Thomas Wood , and Wi lli am Addisson. Val Irion visited New Orleans during the past month and came around to see the bunch . Just as in his undergraduate days , Brother Irion is still a diligent worker and he decided that he could persuade our Alumni of the necessity of some repairs on the bouse. As a result of his persuasion and the generosity of the Alumni, the front porch has been newly screened and painted. Jerome Elick was called home by the death of his father, and Thomas Woods by the passing away of his grandfather. Sincere sympathy and condolence are extended to our bereaved brothers and fami lies in their hour of sorrow. The school year is rapidly coming to a close and one more big dance is being planned before beginning of final examinations. A lphaBeta has enjoyed a very successfu l year and loses only three men by graduation. They are Ralph Riggs , Percy Phillips, and Charles Ayo.

C. Thomas, Marvin Dooley, and Cecil Roach were initiated . Marvin Dooley and Cecil Roach were members of Pi Alpha before the installation of Alpha Lambda. After the initiation ceremonies all pledges and members met at the Tea Hound, which had been reserved for the occasion. While enjoying the many courses and "A I Smith Specials," Dr. Pigott, an alumnus, assumed the role of toastmaster. Brother Simms, district chapter inspector, made a short speech and Brother Mauldin spoke for the benefit of the new brothers and pledges on "The History and Traditions of Pi Kappa Phi." With the return of the dances to Ole Miss. Alpha -Lambda rejoices with the other fraternities on the campus. For the past three years the dances have been looked upon in disfavor by the faculty but recently the ban was lifted and Ole Miss. can again enjoy the gorgeous lead outs for which she was at one time so well known.

work. The fraternity averages have not yet been released from the registrar's office, but from all reports it is thought that we will be nearer the top than last year. When Alpha-Lambda was sixth among the sixteen fraternities on the campus. The faculty has a very strict rule which requires all pledges before being initiated to have an average of at least a B in all their work for one semester. Also, no fraternity can initiate any pledge if during the past semester their average was below that of the student body. Three fraternities on the campus will not be allowed to initiate for one year on account of this rule. ~

News From Alpha-Nu By

WILLIAM

G. SCHULZ

The winter quarter at Ohio State has long been over, and already A lpha-Nu finds herself in the midst of the spring quarter. Final exams and summer vacations are already becoming a topic of conversation, wh ile the seniors are rather sentimentally contemplating graduation. Our most recent honors have come in the election of Charles A . Rusler and Russell C. Newhouse to honorary fraternities, the former to Sigma Delta Rho, public speaking society, and the latter to Tau Beta Pi. Tuesday, April 17 , Ohio State University sponsored a mock presidential nominating convention, with most of the campus organizations participating by sending delegates representing the various states. Pi Kappa Phi, falling in the full swing of things, was one of the most active participants, sending thirteen delegates to repre sent the radical State of Wisconsin. For some weeks both before and after the convention our politicians with the glib tongues and talent for the intrigue were busy arguing and orating. Edward S. Wells, with his slouch hat and vile cigars, left nothing to be desired as a politician. Alpha -Nu, together with a number of other organizations, supported Senator Norris from Nebraska. As a result, a Norris Club , endorsed by Senator Norris himself, has been formed on the campus. Brother Rusler was elected VIcepresident and Brother Wells secretary.

· n ir The chapter has four seniors graduattnc June : Herbert C. Davis, William G. Schult 0 Jr., Robert E. Price, and Verne B. Hoff!lla 01 Brother Davis receives the degree of bachelor • r!C' arts, and Brother Schulz a bachelor of scte in journalism. Both are planning to rentr~ later and enter law. Brother Price receives }liS degree in mechanical engineering, while Brotb~l Hoffman receives his bachelor of science tf. physical education. . b< It is too early as yet to foresee what wtll . trl the rewards, if any. of our spring quarter tn d mural sports, but from all indications we stan several excellent chances to add to our four rro· phies wh ich we won last winter. Pledge pren; 0 tice Woodhouse, who is acclaimed to be one the cleverest non-varsity pitchers on the camPus, is one of our best bets.
