'Psi Sigma GJ3ecomes cAlpha, Xi ehapter

By HOWARD D. L EAKE, Executiue Secretary of the Fraternity

installation banquet held at the Hotel Brevoort on the night of Nof vember 28, marked the closing event 0 the ceremonies and procedure that incorpor~~~d the twenty-one-year-old local fraternity, 81 Sigma , of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, as Alpha-Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Frat~rnity : and also brought to an end a situation t at is unparalleled and unprecedented in the •n nals of the Fraternity and probably rarely ~nequalled by other national fraternities. There llrere In · attendance at the banquet approxtmate· 1 y two hundred men, composed of Alpha-Xi ~en, New York alumni and representatives torn the nearby chapters.

As chief guests of the banquet, which was, in c0 ntb'Inat10n . , an occasiOn . b to we Icome t h e new Srothers and an alumni gathering to honor DUPreme Archon Dr. A. Pelzer Wagener, were I r..Parke R. Kolbe, President of the Brooklyn nstttute and Doctor Wagener. In addresses that I Were of inspirational and humorous character, these two noted educators sounded the keynote of the evening. Doctor Wagener portrayed a hit of history of the Fraternity and vividly e~Phasized the ideals and tenets, at the same 1 'nte welcoming Alpha-Xi to the joys and values ~f these and challenging the new chapter to upOld the traditions and purposes of the Fra1ternity; a brilliant address that was enthusia . st,cally received.

Doctor Kolbe welcomed the new fraternity 0 ~ the campus and congratulated Psi Sigma on er affiliation. He pointed out that, in his estil lllation, the colleges of the future would take ~n an urban character and that the strongest 'nstitutions would be those located in cities. He &ave as his opinion also that the national fra · · were rna k'mg a mtsta · ke m · emp h a. termttes Sizing those institutions that were located at a distance from urban population and consisted ~~~ost entirely of the university campus. In tinging his message to a close, he pledged his

U

hearty and sympathetic cooperation to the new chapter.

In a heart-felt speech, Albert W. Meisel, leading spirit in the founding of Psi Sigma and the bringing about of its national affiliation, reviewed the history of Psi Sigma and also expressed his great pleasure in the attainment of a more far-reaching brotherhood that possessed so similarly the ideals and standards 0f the local.

He was given recognition by those gathered in a way seldom received by men . Rising to their feet the entire gathering cheered spontaneously and for a considerable length of time this " father of Psi Sigma." In commemoration of the founding of the local and the resulting influence of and pleasure derived from the organiation, the alumni of Psi Sigma presented to him a bronze plaque bearing the following :

MEISEL who in the year 1901 together with Brothers HENRY T. LEES FREDERICK H . LANE OSKYTEL H. CLARKE HERMAN FUCHS founded at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn the Fraternity of Psi Sigma, which after twenty-seuen years of growth and fraternal influence was installed as the Alpha-Xi Chapter of the Fraternity of Pi Kappa Phi. To them we dedicate this tablet in recognition of their broad ·uision and sound management. May the AlphaXi Chapter carry on the traditions of " The Land Where Good Fellowship Reigns" Nouember 27, 1928.

Other speakers were Walter Measday, Jr., Archon of the New York alumni. and Harold C. Wort, Archon of the Alpha-Xi Chapter.

of Psi Chapter, and Professor W. J. Berry of the faculty of the Institute and now listed as a brother in Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Measday delivered quite an effective address in which he pointed out the position and responsibilities of the alumni of the Fraternity.

Actual initiation of the undergraduate members took place the evening of the 27th. Eighteen undergraduates and seven alumni went through the ceremony at this time, among the latter being two founders of the local-Brother Meisel and Brother Henry T. Lees. The remainder o( the alumni, numbering approximately one hundred, were initiated in a body Wednesday evening just before the banquet.

To the members of the initiation team from Psi goes the credit for performing a perfect ceremony. They handled the ritual in a most effective and beautiful way without hesitation or hindrance. The men that made up the team were Robert J. Harper, who was responsible for arranging and rehearsing of the parts, Howard Knapp, H. Pitkin, Smith Tompkins, Charles Clade], Ted Taylor. Brother K. C. Lauter, as Chief Installing Officer, had an unenviable responsibility that was faced and com -

pleted in an admirable way. The entire insta\ 0 lation was handled in a manner deserving great praise.

GJ-eistory of cpsi Sigma HE Fraternity of Psi Sigma was organized twenty-seven years ago, October 9, 1901. Brooklyn Polytechnic In stitute, by Henry T . Lees, Oskytel H. Clarke, Frederick H. Lane, Herman C. Fuchs and Albert W . Meisel.

These men, believing that there was room for a brotherhood based upon the highest ideals of morality, scholarship and democracy, laid the foundations of the organization as it is today.

From the beginning the group prospered, as its principles appealed to both students and faculty alike. At the outset the Fraternity was housed in rented quarters, which were extremely modest, but the fire of the fraternity burned brightly on its hearthstone.

In its first year it undertook the issuance of~ paper known as The Woodbird , which was first read in the active meetings and later, as the membership increased, was mailed to the rne~· hers, alumni and undergraduates. Even at thtS early period its general scholarship stood high· and one of its members, Oskytel H .

Unlike most chapters, where fraternity life ceases upon graduation because of removal from college town of its members, with Psi Sigma the fraternal activity was not so limited.

While the budget and many organization matters were in the hands of the alumni. the active chapter carried on the usual functions of selecting and initiating new members and the management of the house and table, and in these respects was quite autonomous.

When the war came in 191 7, practically all the active men and many of the alumni entered active service. The Institute itself was selected by the United States Government as a center for all Student Officers Training Corps, and fraternities were prevented by regulation from initiating new members. However, Psi Sigma continued to function and carried cheer to the men in the service with their publication, The Wood bird. As a corporation its could not be destroyed.

In 1920, the Psi Sigma Realty Company, a New York stock corporation, was formed to buy a fraternity house. The war was now over and a syndicate of alumni underwrote a contract of $17,000 for the purchase of a house.

Every member was requested to buy at least $100 worth of stock, and each initiate was required to , the ultimate plan being that these new subscriptions would be filled by those alumni who had purchased more than one share.

The new house, a half block from the Institute, was purchased and occupied in 1920, the active chapter becoming the tenant of the Psi Sigma Realty Company. The new quarters at once became the scene of larger activity, as they were large enough for dances and other functions.

Purchased in a time of low realty values, the consequent rise in values of property about the house, it was located near the center of the city, brought to the Fraternity flattering offers for their site. One of these was finally accepted.

With the proceeds of the sale a larger house was purchased at 33 Sydney Place, just two blocks from the Institute. The title research revealed

It cooperates with a large number of local industries in the giving of courses, and the in dustries frequently call upon and use its laboratories for the testing of their materials and the solution of their problems.

The faculty of the Institute is well known and enjoys a country-wide reputation. Its President, Dr. Parke R. Kolbe, was formerly President of the University of Akron.

Plans are underway at present to change the site of the Institute, its present quarters becoming too crowded to handle the popular demand of students for entrance. The new location will still be on Long Island, consisting of eight acres in that part of the Island that is famous as a battlefield of the Revolution. Its present hold ings are valued at four and one-half millions, this, added to the approximate million dollars as a beneficiary of the Charles F .

The cpineapple 1sles By

GEORGE ALLEN ODGERS, N, ' 16

0 many of my friends seem to have forgotten both their geography and history that I am forced to write something about these beautiful mid -Pacific islands, which form the western outpost of the United States. Letters decorated with fiue -cent stamps and addressed to me at " Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Ocean," are not as rare as they ought to be. To have my supposedly enlightened university-professorish friends head their letters "Coilege Town, Old State, U. S. A. ," is a little too much . Because for a decade or longer I lived in strange and auslandisch parts of the globe, old pals can't imagine me living in a civilized country like Uncle Sam's.

I am daily expecting to receive a letter from some one on the mainland addressed to me at Honolulu , Japan , Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand, or Kamehameha Schools, Borneo. Yesterday, however, I received a letter from India, which was addressed to me at Honolulu, U.S. A. Last summer when I announced that I had accepted a position in Honolulu, many of my rela rives and cronies gasped and then exclaimed: "Why so far away? Isn't the old U. S. A. good enough for you?" La-la! What is a couple of thousand miles and an ocean vacation of seven days?

If you don't know it, let me tell you that Hawaii is not at the end of the earth, but is at the cross-roads; that Hawaii is neither a foreign possession nor a dependency of the United States of America, but a territory of the same, and as such is as much a part of our country as any of the present ex-territorial states ever were.

The annexation of these islands was consummated by a treaty on July 7, 1898. The territory was created and its government provided for by the organic act of April 30, 1900. It is therefore twenty-eight years old and about ready for statehood.

The islands which constitute the territory are twenty' in number, eight of which are inhabited. They lie in the north Pacific Ocean,

just within the tropics, and are more than 2,000 miles from the nearest mainland. TheY 3 are entirely volcanic, being the summits 0 ~ 5 . . su b manne . mountam . range, w h'ch r,se gigantic I e1e· from the floor of the ocean.

The second annual broadcast of the Atlanta Alumni Chapter's Founders' Day program was a feature of radio station WSB the evening of December 10. The Alpha-Epsilon program was broadcast by WRUF, the University of Florida's broadcasting station . This was the first program of this nature to be broadcast by any fraternity on the Florida campus.

The brothers who arranged these programs showed enterprise and are to be congratulated for their efforts. Those who listened in enjoyed the programs and doubtless there were some whose memories of " good old days" back in the chapter were aroused.

Pr

KAPPA

PHI

In ~ligion?

By HERBERT E. EVANS Adviser to Student Religious Organizations, Columbia, University (In The Institute Magazine, Columbia University) ~HE following quotation from a s~ate­ ~

ment issued two years ago by Herbert E. Hawkes, Dean of Columbia C?l1 _ege, 1s an example of the interest that admtnIStrators throughout the land are indicating in religion, both as subject matter for objective study and the more personal phases, having to do With the life of the student: ''During the last few years the subject of religion both as an academic study and as part of the personal life of the individual, has been S((bjected to more searching analysis and careful Provision in Columbia University than .it has ever received before."

Since the above statement was issued rapid advances have been made in the curriculum and expressional aspects in this field. Probably never before since the time when the majority of our larger colleges were organized for the training of men in the Christian ministry has such attention been paid to the development of religion in our educational institutions. Much Water has passed under the bridge since Harvard, !ale, and other institutions had as their major Interest the training of men for the ministry.

1'oday the universities of the land are approach~ng the problem anew, this time because of the Insistent demand from students for real and vital religious information.

Observers are noting a like interest on the Part of the general public, and a response to that interest by the various magazines and periodicals published. Rarely may one purchase an important magazine that fails to contain at least one article touching the subject matter of religion in one or more of its aspects. Again this matter is called to our attention by the space ~eing given in daily newspapers to religious ttems. From our leading publishers come almost daily new books in this field; many of them a real contribution and others just paper, ink, and binding. The success of the press depends upon •

its meeting the appeal and needs of the reading public. Apparently indications point to the fact that the reading public today is interested in the happenings in the field of religion.

It is significant and interesting to note the attitude of undergraduates in our colleges towards this matter. We find the average undergraduate coming to our educational institution with little religious background. We may almost safely assume total ignorance on this subject on the part of our new students. We may not and cannot assume, however, a total lack of interest. Courses in religious subjects are being largely attended and qualified faculty members are being asked many searching questions by their students. Of course, many students are disturbed and upset and sometimes appear to lose the little faith they had on entering college. It seems to me that this is the fault of a poor background rather than any failure on the part of the college. The University of Chicago, Columbia University, and many others, are conducting far-reaching experiments in an attempt to meet the religious needs of students. Religious courses are being given because students want to take them. Advisors and others are being appointed because students wish to go to them for advice. A very healthy development is taking place among undergraduates.

Then we may ask, "Why this interest?"

To answer the question adequately would take much more space than is at our disposal. Perhaps it is that with the development of the mechanical side of human life, the extension of invention, and the hurried complexity of modern living, we are beginning to feel the need of purpose and reality. If we could sum up in one question the various inquiries students are making. it would be "What is it all about?"

FTER four long years of unceasing toil Alpha-Eta is now comfortably situated in her new $25,000 borne.

It was on Thursday afternoon, May 3rd, of this year, that Alpha-Eta held the formal bouse opening at which time open bouse was held and alumni and friends from all over the Birmingham district and surrounding territory paid the chapter a visit and thoroughly viewed the new home.

The receiving line was composed of Dr. John C. Dawson , President of Howard College; Al bert Lee Smith , of Birmingham, an alumnus of Alpha -Eta and donor of $1.000 to the new horne fund; W. A. Berry, another outstanding Birmingham alumnus; Mrs. W . A. Berry, patroness of the fraternity ; Mrs. Albert Lee Smith, patroness of the fraternity; Mrs. Morgan, the house mother, and several members of the active chapter.

Actual effort toward the building of a new horne was begun by Alpha-Eta in the autumn of 1925 . Some preliminary steps had been taken previous to that time but it was during the 1925 -26 scholastic year that money began to be contributed to the new horne fund. Work on the plans was continued through the 1926 -27 scholastic year until January of 1928.

At that time, immediately following the 14th Supreme Chapter Meeting in Birmingham, the ground was broken for the new horne and the

-··..sf

house was under construction. It was approJCt' mately four months in the building.

The new horne is a three-story brick house of Southern Colonial architecture and is as p:ar tical for use by a fraternity as it could posst? 'I be made. The first floor consists of a livt~g room , a sun parlor, matron's quarters, and pe dining room and kitchen. The second floor consists of eight commodious study rooms. t~~ large sleeping porches and a bath. The thtr floor is devoted wholly to a spacious chapter room.

Alpha -Eta's new horne is the first neW fr~­ ternity home to be constructed on Howard Co'

Masonic Temple at Ann Arbor, ~lchigan, on the 17th of November proved to e an evening replete with interest and pleasure, ~~d must be listed among those events in the !Story of Pi Kappa Phi that indicate the progress and growth of the Fraternity. Mainly for the purpose of awarding the scholarship cups that are annually awarded to the men in each c~apter and the chapter which obtained the highest scholastic rating for the past year, the occasion was also one of social nature , com ~ining a banquet with a dance. Following, as It did , the annual football game between Michigan and Michigan State College, it was an ad ~irable opportunity to get together representa IVes of the two chapters and also a large repre sentation of alumni . Probably fifty Pi Kapps Were present and these , with the wives and dates, 111ade up a colorful assembly.

Brother G. Bernard He1mrich, formerly Professor of Engineering at the University of Michi gan and now advisory and managing engineer of the Detroit Edison Company, as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee of the Detroit Alumni Chapter, awarded the cups to the winners and made the main address of the evening.

In an excellent discourse, which was interesting and instructive, he emphasized by facts the materia] value accruing to the individual in the business world, who has attained distinction in his studies in undergraduate study. He made the awards in the name of Dr. Will E. Edington, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee of the national organization , who judged the com parative standing of the competitors.

Others on the program were John 0. Blair, Gamma, archon of the Detroit Alumni; Otmer J. Schuster and Cecil A. Reed, archons respec tively of the Michigan State and Michigan chapters, who made appreciative replies to the pre-

He was a member of the glee club for two years and took part in all the productions of the dramatic club. In the Fraternity he was quire active, in the end being rewarded by the election to the position of archon.

The cup that was given by District Archon J. · w ·r · · t son Robinson to that ch apter matntamtng the highest average, is one of unusual and exceptiona ll y beautiful lines. It was won by the Alpha- Theta Chapter. This is a permanent cup, to be retained by the chapter winning until lost by maintaining a lower average.

Telegrams from Supreme Archon Wagener and Supreme Historian Pou, expressing best Wishes for the occasion were read to the assembled by Brother Robinson . A man of most Pleasing personality and unquestioned ability, Brother Robinson is giving of his time and thought to the district and the chapters which it contains. The success of the event can be !aid to his energy and direction in a major way, and there is no doubt that his district will in the future be one of the most progressive. It certainly got off to a wonderful start. Recently the states of Illinois and Indiana were added to his district.

had traveled from Toledo to Ann Arbor for the purpose of attending the conclave. In a short speech that had a world of meaning to the members of the Fraternity, he expressed his pleasure of attending and also promised the gathering that in the near future they would see an alumni chapter at Toledo. Brother House is from Omega Chapter.

Jackson Honored by Student Federation ~

NOTHER honor has come to Theodore Jackson, Alpha-Eta , '28. During his senior year at Howard College he wrote a thesis on " The Honor System," which won for him the distinction of honor graduate. So exhaustively did he search for material, and so thor oughly did he prepare his thesis, that President John C. Dawson, of Howard , considered it as about the last word on the subject, and caused it to be published as one of the regular bulletins of the college, and to be sent to educators and others interested in student government all over the country. This resulted in nation -wide attention to the brilliant Alabama student. and he has since been requested by the president of the National Student Federation of America to attend the Congress of that body at Columbia, Missouri, December 12- 15. 1928, and there to lead the discussion on the subject of his thesis. The invitation has been accepted , and we may rest assured that Theodore will more than fulfill what is expected of him.

Brother Jackson was president of the student body at Howard, a successfu l debater on the varsity team, and an outstanding student during each of his four years. He served Alpha Eta most capably as treasurer and archon. and has been a hard worker for the fraternity since the day he was pledged . Recently the Supreme Council announced he had earned and wou ld receive one of the scholarship pendants this year. At present he is an instructor in English at the Ensley Howard High School, Ensley, Alabama. ~

What CY4bout the CJ-eistory and crJirectoryl

By LEO H. Pou, Supreme Historian

r:::Jlj[ JHAT

has become of the recommendation of the Birmingham Supreme Chapter that a Pi Kappa Phi manual be published and ready for distri bution to the membership by the twenty-fifth birthday of the fraternity? Has this matter been overlooked by the present administration?

If not, what has been done about it ?

These and other similar questions have been and are being asked by our members. We are glad that there is some active interest in the project. Its ultimate success depends upon th2 backing of all our members. It is for the purpose of answering these inquiries and attempting to gauge this interest that this article is written.

The need for such a book as we hope to publish is undenied. Our present directory was issued in April. 1926. It was the first adequate publication of the kind which we bad bad.

Since then our numbers have increased almost fifty per cent, many new chapters have been added, addresses and other data have changed.

There are many other reasons why a new directory will be a pressing need by another year.

The demand for a history of our brotherhood may not be so readily apparent, but is none the less real. On D ecem her 1 0 , 192 9, Pi Kappa Phi will celebrate twenty-five years of gloriously useful existence. It bas become a fixed insti tution in the college world of America . Its ideals have been carried by loyal sons into every industry and profession, and its name to all parts of the globe. Some of the wearers of its emblems over these years have burrowed deep into the sources of knowledge, or soared aloft to what the world calls prominence and fame.

Many others have not thus achieved . notable distinction, but have labored quietly and in love for the progress and proper growth of the frater nity itself. Yet we have no connected and concise record of these things.

The story of the founding of Pi Kappa Phi at a very small southern college, of the decision ~

[A[)

-··~

to expand which resulted in the the second chaPf ter at another small institution nearby; then the establishment of the third, on the far-awa~ Pacific coast at the largest university in the Jan -these and the events which followed as the years passed are not merely history. TheY are romance of the finest sort. Every pledge, everY ht undergraduate member, every alumnus ou g to have an opportunity to read and kno~ theS~ things and thus to gain a fuller appreciatiOn what it means to be a Pi Kapp.

Fortunate are we that ours is still a youn~ fraternity, and that most of those who have ba a part in the making of its history are still with us to tell us what that history is. But, "it is a record that should be set down before thC sources are too far gone down the path of the past." It would seem to be our duty, to get ~be main facts in writing while they are so eastlY obtainable, and to publish them in permanent• inspirational form for the benefit of all.

This project has not been overlooked bY those charged with its promotion. Much titTle and thought have been given to it during the year. A definite plan has been evolved, looking to its fullest realization.

The Supreme Council has approved an outline of the contents of the proposed anniversar~ book. It will contain ( 1) a short historY 0 the fraternity; (2) an up-to-date directorY of all members on the date of publication, listed alphabetically, by chapters, and by location; and (3) the constitution, supreme laws, and gen· eral information. The book will be bound irl handsome blue cloth, with the cover lettered irl gold. George E. Sheetz, former executive secretary, will be chief author of the history, and the directory will be compiled by Brothers Leake and Blalock at the central office.

Such an undertaking involves a large outlaY of money. We have not considered issuing a cheap book. The occasion and the subject-matter deserve our best or nothing. Our members must realize that the fraternity has no special

fund available for its financing. The project must pay for itself or we cannot afford it. We , must know in advance that it will pay for itself, Pr We cannot have it. The cost must be underw. . tttten by our members before any money IS expended .

Estimates furnished by publishers cause us to berteve that we can publish and sell this book for $2.00 per copy. Obviously the price will be less if we publish two thousand volumes than ~f Only one thousand. So not only must we . ave sufficient advance orders for the book to JUstify its publication; but we must use these Orders as a basis for determining how many co .

Ptes shall be published. In other words, we shall publish the history and directory only in a limited edition, if at all. Those whose orders are filed in advance will receive copies, others ll1ay not.

1'he plan is a simple one. Accompanying this issue of THE STAR AND LAMP is a card containing a form for ordering a copy of the Proposed history and directory, to be delivered When published next year. Each member is strongly urged to sign and mail this order at once. Let there be no delay. It is a matter of business. This is the only plan under which We can undertake to publish the book. If we .receive a sufficient number of orders to make the proposition financially safe, the history and directory will be published. If the number is too small to justify the venture, the Supreme Council will know that such a book is not desired by our membership at large and, of course, it will not be published .

Thus the question which heads this article, and which has been propounded to the writer lllany times this year, is handed back to YOU and to the fraternity's entire membership. The decision lies with you. You must make the answer, WHAT ABOUT THE HISTORY A.ND DIRECTORY? ~

The Phi Gamma Delta for November is devoted to "War Memories," and contains several excellent articles dealing with what Fijis did in the great struggle which ended ten years ago.

Pi Kapps Gather in North Woods

In the cottage can be seen a blazing fire and grouped around are five Alpha- Theta "Pi Kapps" who have gathered from far and near. "Fritz" Graf, Milwaukee, Wisconsin ; Guy, "Sailor Boy," Culbert, Hastings, Michigan; "Kayo" Brigham, Kalamazoo, Michigan; and "Walt" Dernberger,

Pontiac, Michigan, followed the various Indian trails to Manistique, Michigan, to be the guests of Archon " Ot" Schuster who hails from Manistique, upper peninsula, Michigan. Each one was glad to get a weeks' rest before the weighty duties of another school year fell upon them.

Stories were the order of the evening and as usual " Ot" took all honors. Orders for the day were fishing , duck hunting, log rolling before breakfast, and football every time it stopped raining.

A trip of 275 miles was taken to the Sault Sainte Marie Locks to see Brother McKenzie as he locked through on the S. S. Hartwell but due to the omission of A. M. in his radiogram he was missed by 12 hours. The trip however, was a success, for Canada was visited and the locks observed.

GJ-eistoric GJ-eouse Serves South ~arolina ~hapter

By C. D. McDANIEL URING slavery times it was the customary thing for the master to have his office apart from the rest of the house. Here all business was transacted. In the yard of the DeSaussure Place at the corner of Gervais and Bull streets, of Columbia, S. C., is a little one room house that was the office of Chancellor DeSaussure .

Tbe date of this building is not known, but it was standing when LaFayette came to Columbia in 1825, and he was entertained at the Randolph Place next to the DeSaussure Place on Gervais street . Some of LaFayette's attendants stayed at the DeSaussure Place and mention is made of this house in connection with the entertaining of LaFayette. The DeSaussure Place was sold after the Civil War and nothing was done with the house for forty years. It was then turned into a studio by Miss Blonde! Malone. Later it rvas used as a studio of an interior decorator. In 1927, it was rented

It is ideally located between the business, residential and university sections of Columbia. It was used as a chapter room and meeting place for all occasions, until Sigma found it necessary to have a larger and more spacious place for a growing chapter.

Gamma in New House By

TED GRASSI

Gamma chapter opened up this semester with Probably more pep than it has heretofore exPerienced, and has been keeping it up.

Rushing proved a great success as it added ten new men to our roll. This brought up our total to thirty-three active members and pledges, twenty-three of whom are living in our new, model chapter house.

Leading the list of pledges is Blair Marshall. who is the ranking freshman on the Daily Californian , the campus daily newspaper.

Then we have "Pickwick" Freytag, who, at the present, is the leading candidate for coxswain in the frosh shell. The competition for this position is unusually keen due to the large turn out for crew, California having won the World's Championship at the Olympic Games this year.

Then we have " Benny" Hamlin and " Tiny " Dolan, two likely prospects on the cinder path .

AI Croce and Ken Lawrence are two of the boys battling for a berth on the lightweight basketball team.

Gamma will also be represented on the golf links, and on the diamond by Kenny White and " Mouse" Grimes, respectively. And not to be outdone by his sturdier brethren " Doc" Fisher is tooting a horn on the famous Cali fornia band.

Bob Krost, our remaining pledge, is burning the midnight oil to help raise Gamma's scholastic standing.

The active members themselves, not to be outdone by the neophytes, are also busily en gaged in campus activities.

Jack Dempsey has just been elected assistant varsity yell -leader, and looks like a cinch for the position of varsity cheer-leader next semester. He is also junior class yell -leader, and one of the best collegiate divers on the Pacific Coast. " Duke" Valianos, varsity shortstop, who was captain of the frosh two years ago, made his letter. " Scotty" Macdonald , another one of the boys out for baseball, is · scheduled to stage a fierce fight for a regular berth on the varsity nme.

Out for varsity crew we have Bill Wood ward. Bill was one of the mainstays on the

THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA PHI

fresh shell last semester and made the trip to the Poughkeepsie regatta.

Ted Grassi proved his worth on the gridiron by just finishing a successful season with the frosh eleven. " Shorty" Raeder is a member of the varsity water polo and swimming teams, having made his letter in each. Elwyn Sheets is on the editorial staff of the AnnuaL The Blue and Gold.

In regards to house functions. Gamma recently held its pledge dance which was a "howling" success. We also held an exchange dance with Zeta Tau Alpha, and an exchange dinner with Theta Kappa Nu . Besides this the house has been playing a prominent part in interfra ternity sports, finishing well up in front in each.

At the . recent house election the following new officers were chosen: Archon, John M. H erndon ; vice-archon, Scott A. Macdonald; house manager and treasurer. Robley E. Passa -

At present, the best we can do is to show our guests the stately exterior, but at that, alumni returning on Homecoming Day, October 20, found reasons for enthusiasm and they voiced their joy in no uncertain terms. The guest roll for that day shows twenty-one names, ranging from alumni to ex-members accompanied by relatives of varying degree.

In order to allay suspicions that the members sit on the curb to watch the stone-work go up, it is best to record something of the activities.

In two of the three meets that Purdue has participated, James Emory has finished among the winners. Now that basketball is under way, Daniels and MacGammon are engaged on the hardwood court every evening endeavoring to show "Piggy" Lambert why they deserve a position on the varsity five.

Pledge Maxfield is going "great guns" with the gymnastic team.

While these varsity men are doing their bit for Purdue, the remaining members will be in the inter-fraternity basketball tournament doing their bit for Omega. Prospects are bright for a "rip-snortin' " house team with Pledge Langston, an all -section high school back-guard and Pledge Condrey, a numeral man from Butler, forming the nucleus. Since going as far as the semi-finals in the playground ball tournament, the fellows are on edge for this event.

Success of the members is not confined to athletic endeavors but extends scholastic efforts.

Congratulations are in order for our quiet archon, "Gus" Riggs who was recently initiated into Tau Beta Pi; Henry Howard Thompson who is to be put through the work of Eta Kappa Nu and "Bob" Cline who is wearing the pledge ribbon of Scabbard and Blade.

The pledge dance, held in the chapter house November 17, was a huge success. The pledging of three new men brought the neophyte class to a total of fourteen men.

Fraternity Row Planned at Mercer Prospects for fraternities at Mercer are bright, with plans of the Pan-Hellenic council for ~he establishment of a fraternity row advanc1.11f 1 rapidly and with a school administration W~ 1 ~ has expressed its cordial feeling for fra ternttteS in no uncertain terms.

The young men wearing the gold diarn°~ d of Pi Kappa Phi are: Robert M. Coursey, Mt · lard A. Copeland, Jr., J. E. Rudisill, J. HillYe~ , Wilson, Felix Davis, Clarence Askew all Emory Connell.

Three brothers returned to Mercer this year after being out of school for a year or more. we welcomed back to Alpha-Alpha, Wendell Rob· erts, Henry Cobb and Byron Spooner. nc Several Pi Kapps are becoming affiliated with professional fraternities.
