'The Student Speaks Master of Men, when the day comes that the book.s must be laid aside, When the world is just ouer the threshold, and will not be denied, Giue me the thing I pray for , as backward the years I scan; Grant, at that last Commencement, that I shall haue been a man.

A man with a man's convictions, who was willing to do his part ; Who looked for the truth till he found it-yes, and kept it close to his heart ; Who stood for the things that were decent, and hated the things that were mean, And tried in his own little way , Lord, to be honest and true and clean.

I know I shall falter and stumble; I know that the way is hard; I'm afraid the soul you trusted me with won' t go through it all unscarred; But, God, I want to be big enough , when it comes to the acid test, To say a prayer, and grit my teeth , and then do my leuel best.

Master of Men . I'm hoping you won' t haue so much to forget When the Angel asks, " Placetne?" that you can't reply, " Placet ."

Judge of the work I shall do, Lord; rate me the best you can; BC:tt grant , at the great Commencement , that I shall haue been a man .

Impressions of the Interfraternity eonference By

DR.

A. PELZER WAGENER

Supreme Archon of the Fraternity '"HE twentieth annual meeting of the interfraternity conferenec was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City on November 30th and December 1st. Pi Kappa Phi was represented by the Supreme Archon, Executive Secretary Leake, District Archon K. C. Lauter. Walter Measday, Jr. , Archon of the New York Alumni chapter, and Albert W . Meisel. alumnus of Alpha-Xi chapter. I shall attempt merely to give some impressions of this very interesting and inspiring meeting.

At the dinner on the first night of the conference, the principal address was made by President H . W . Chase of the University of North Carolina. Dr. Chase spoke of the complexity of student life on the modern university campus and of the problem presented by the need of so directing the multitude of existing organizations as to make them contribute to the enhancement of intellectual and spiritual values.

In solving this problem, pertaining as it does most especially to the college fraternities , he be spoke, in the name of the university presidents of the country, the help of the fraternity leaders.

Promptly Dr. Francis W. Shepardson , trusted leader and guide, responded for the conference to this challenge, which he termed the second Which had come to fraternity men . To the first , calling for the suppression of jealousies ~nd differences and the creation of a unity of ~deals and aims, they had responded by bringlUg in to being the In terfra tern ity Conference.

To the second he promised that we would reply by making dominant in every chapter of every fraternity on every campus principles of high scholarship, clean morals, gentlemanly conduct, ;nd college loyalty; principles which the con erence has enunciated as the justification and reason for fraternities.

One attending the twentieth session of the conference could not fail to be impressed by two outstanding characteristics. The first was the spirit of unity and harmony prevailing throughout, fostered by the nineteen years of existence under the leadership of men like W. H . P. Faunce, Francis W . Shepardson and Thomas Arkle Clark. The second was the witness borne by the discussions which centered around the vital problems of chapter life to the fact that fraternity men are interested in making the chapter a vital factor for furthering the educational purposes of the institution where it is located . The presence of the deans of men of many of our leading universities- such as Clark of Illinois, Bursley of Michigan, Field of Georgia Tech., and Haeckel of Missouri-and their active participation in the discussions proved the extent to which university administrators are concerned with the proper correlation of the fraternity with institutional life.

A matter of deep interest was the presence of student fraternity leaders, representatives of university and college interfraternity councils.

These men were in attendance upon the meet ings of the National Interfraternity Council. but participated in those sessions of the conference particularly devoted to the consideration of problems touching active chapter life. One question, that of " Hell Week." was handled entirely by un-dergraduates.

It assumed the form of a debate between Lewis D . Syester, Phi Kappa Psi. and Donald Sherbondy, Alpha Sigma Phi, both students of Ohio Wesleyan Uni versity, upon the topic " Resolved that roughhouse initiation should be abolished." After an able presentation of the arguments on both sides the conference unequivocably reiterated its stand against all such practices.

The debate proved to be an effective method of presenting a subject, giving opportunity as

THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA PHI

it did for the consideration of arguments both pro and con. The question of deferr.ed pledging was also handled in this way. Debaters in favor of the plan of deferred pledging were Dean J . A. Bursley of Michigan and Dean Floyd Field of Georgia Tech. The plan was attacked by Dr. Charles A. Tensor, Jr., Delta Sigma Phi, and Dr. Charles W . Gerstenberg, treasurer of the conference. Honors were even, but the debate elicited much valuable discus sion from the floor.

The permanent achievements of the Conference during the year were presented in the form of reports from committees. Those of particular interest I shall briefly touch upon.

Oswald G. Hering, chairman of the committee on architecture, exhibited sample sheets of the volume entitled "The College Fraternity House," which will come from the press during the present year. It will be a practical volume, of incalculable value to every chapter planning to build and to architects. It covers such topics as comparative building costs, finance , equipment, operation, care of the house, and so forth.

The law committee, Frederick Griswold , Jr., chairman, reported further investigation upon the subject of the taxation of fraternity property in the various states and of the possibility of securing exemption.

Alvin E. Duerr spoke upon the work of the scholarship committee. The results of this committee's efforts have been embodied in the printed charts issued during 19 2 8 and furn ished to all the fraternities in the Conference.

In these charts accurate data upon the scholastic standing of fraternities has been made available.

Dr. Edington, chairman of our permanent scholarship committee, has commented upon them as they relate to Pi Kappa Phi in a recent STAR AND LAMP. The · great achievement of the committee has been the formulation of a uniform system by which scholastic ratings can be scientifically compiled.

I have touched upon only such matters as particularly appealed to me and as seemed to me to indicate the current trend in fraternity thought. No one who attends such meetings can escape the significance of what is going on.

Fraternities have ceased to be a haphazard con-

glomeration of chapters, meeting in convention to pass rules and have a good time, and between time going along pretty much their own way.

The modern fraternity is being directed by thinkers along educational lines and is being conducted as an intellectual and moral asset in the lives of college students. The fraternity whose officers, alumni and active chapters do not grasp this rather revolutionary idea and conform their actions and policies to it, is doomed to pass off our campuses.

Conversely college and uni versity presidents, deans and faculties should realize that they must, in cooperation with fraternity officials, use intelligently the fraterni ties as tools for the control of campus life and morality. Otherwise, some of the finest values in higher education will remain uncapitalized .

HEN I became Dean of Men of West Virginia University six years ago there were eleven national fraternities on the campus and two local groups. There Were three professional groups and four hon orary . There are today twenty -one national Greek-letter social fraternities, and four locals.

Our professional fraternities are increasing so rapidly that I fear to enumerate them lest I omit new ones " in the borning" while this is journeying to the desk of the editor of THE STAR AND LAMP. Suffice it to say that we have a band fraternity, a home economics fraternity, a French fraternity, and so on for the various fields of knowledge. We have law fraternities and medical fraternities; pharmacy fraternities and forensic fraternities ; honorary fraternities and mock fraternities; religious fraternities and military fraternities. Phi Beta Kappa is still here; so are Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Zeta, and Phi lambda Upsilon . . It is not strange that the average college dean IS perplexed when asked for a definition of a fraternity. It is not surprising that college faculties become confused as to the varying aims and purposes of the different types of Greek letter organizations. Even student bodies do likewise at times.

Your national president, an honored member of our faculty, has asked me to present to the readers of your interesting magazine a few of my ideas about fraternities. As a fraternity man as well as a member of the administrative staff of West Virginia University I am glad to ~amply with his request. I shall. however, conne my remarks to the so-called social frat~rnity, contenting myself with the statement t. at I believe also in the others although their ~.1 m.s and purposes are entirely different. I shall 'mn my discussion to the criticisms that are 1 Kveled against fraternities of the type of Pi appa Phi and Phi Gamma Delta from which We have obtained benefits and to which we owe loyalt y, mterest 路 and support.

A senior graduating from Cornell University in June, 1928, evaluated anonymously in the Cornell Sun his four years of undergraduate work in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Among other things he said: "Whatever education, culture, or whatever you choose to call it, I have acquired, has been acquired in spite of that time-honored institution , the fraternity. " I am wondering if he would compliment himself and his ancestors further and add still more evidence that he is a "self-made" man. I am wondering if he would credit his University with a share in his development.

Let us see. Concerning his professors, he says: "Three -quarters of the time spent in the classroom, particularly the lecture room, might much better be devoted to reading. To his credit be it said, he adds: " but probably would not be." There was a time when I too gave more credit to myself and less to my fraternity, my professors and college activities for what little I had been able to achieve in life after graduation. I now look back with better perspective. It has been twenty -six years since a college upper classman placed on the lapel of my coat a button bearing a single white star in the center. But to my subject!

Is the fraternity a standardizing influence ?

Does it stifle individuality and bring the good down to the level of the poor? Does the fraternity overlook the value of scholarship? Does it control路 campus politics so that by its power mediocre men become class presidents, student body presidents, athletic team-managers, or members of controlling committees?

Is the fraternity house an unsupervised rendezvous where brothers may hide the effects of over-conviviality, and to which alumni with more cash than character resort on the occasion of big games when they want to show their loyalty to their alma mater by violating the eighteenth amendment?

Is the fraternity undemocratic and a breeder of snobs? Is it correct to define it as a collec-

THE STAR AND LAMP oF Pr KAPPA PHI tion of very ordinary individuals bound together sometimes by high ideals but often in defense of low practices? Do fraternity men build up a superiority complex and non-fraternity men an inferiority complex?

In actual practice is it true that fraternities often place fraternity first, the college second, and manhood last? Is there a great gulf between the paper pronouncement of ideals on the part of national officers of college Greek -letter societies and the standards that prevail in the active chapters of these same societies? Is it just to go so far as to call the whole fraternity system unchristian?

The fraternity like the church, Masonry, the home and the school itself is an institution . To what extent have we a right to hold it responsible for the conduct of its members? Clearly it is to be judged by the standards by which it selects its initiates. If it welcomes the rotter who happens to be an athlete, it is no doubt, at fau lt unless it feels that it can help him to cease to be a rotter.

Of the institutions with which I have compared the fraternity it is perhaps most nearly like the home . In fact, the fraternity house is the college home for thousands of college men.

Those that have matrons call them house mothers. This suggests that unlike the Masonic body or the church the fraternity may stand in loco parentis. It does take the place of supervised college dormitories. It exists by permission of the institution in which it is located.

As a body it has therefore certain responsibilities toward its members. and they toward it, that are not analagous to the relations existing between members and orders like Masonry, the Rotary Club, or even the Christian Church. A fraternity generally does remove the pin of a brother when he becomes notoriously delin quent in finances or intolerably objectionable as a resident of the fraternity house and the college community.

Like churches, homes, schools and other in stitutions, fraternities may be good or bad, democratic or undemocratic, mediocre or the contrary. They may be uplifting or degrading.

unselfish or self-centered, Christian or unchristian . It depends upon the ideals of the institution and the community of which the fraternity is a part. It depends upon the group in control of a given chapter at the time when judgment is pronounced. It depends to no small degree upon the type of alumni that exercise control or influence over the chapter at the particular time. There is no mysterious potency, either for good or evil. in a collection of Greek letters.

I am a member of a Greek -letter social fraternity and in close touch with chapters of twenty-five others. I believe that fraternities will average up better than an equal number of unsupervised social clubs. If fraternities were abolished today in any college or university other organizations for purposes of fellowship. friendship, and sociability would spring up tomorrow. They do supply a training for their members in the care of property which they do not receive even in college dormitories. They are schools within the larger school where les sons of loyalty, cooperation, and fellowship are learned. Their members as a whole through; out the nation average higher than non -fraternity men. More and more they are making loyalty to their group secondary to loyalty to the institution in which they are established.

When treated with fairness I have found them responsive-yes, generous.

I believe that fraternities honestly want more kindly fellowship with college and university administrative authorities. They are entitled to , and desire, more guidance from 路 their na tional officers than they sometimes get. They are also entitled to more cooperation on the part of their law-abiding alumni than ordinarily they are able to obtain.

I am convinced that no fraternity will be in jured by honest criticism that comes from its friends who know the fine fellowship and loyalty that come to " brothers in the bond.' ' Faithful are the wounds of a friend. OnlY friends are entitled to appraise Greek -letter college social fraternities.

Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship for 1927-1928

_ .If STUDY of the scholarship of Pi Kappa C/1. Phi for 1927- 1928 based on reports received from eighteen qf our chapters gives an average Paschal Rating of .504. This is an improvement over our rating for the· preceding two years, but is about the same as for the year 1924- 1925, Alpha -Alpha, ranking first among ten nationals at Mercer last year, joins our group of chapters outstanding in scholarship for 1927 - 1928 . The others are Beta , Kappa , Alpha-Delta and Alpha -Lambda .

Alpha Zeta

Alpha Zeta, an honorary agricultural fraternity , was organized at Ohio State University in 1897. Theoretically it is supposed not to com pete with social fraternities , but nevertheless some of its chapters maintain houses , among sh; them the Cornell. Ohio State and Penn State chapters. The last directory was published in ra .1 922 , so that the membership of Pi Kappa Phi ing In Alpha Zeta could only be partially deter to . mined at this time.

1ed.

Pi Kappa Phi has contacts with Alpha -Zeta 1ern at twelve universities, eight of which have been made since the 1922 Alpha Zeta directory was .ore compiled. Following are the universities to ;itY ~ether with the dates of installation of chapters :led tn ~i Kappa Phi and Alpha Zeta, respective! y: na - ~ahfornia, 1909 , 1909 ; Georgia , 1915, 1914; ebraska, 1915 , 1904; North Carolina State, hey 1920, 1904; Illinois, 1921, 1900 ; Cornell, Jart 19 rily 1 21, 1901; Purdue, 1922 , 1910 ; Florida , ~_24: 1922 ; Oregon Agricultural, 1924, 1918; in - 18tchtgan State, 1925, 1903 ; Penn State, 1927, ~8 ; Ohio State, 1927, 1897. itS Ch .he members of Pi Kappa Phi known by the and atrman of the Scholarship Committee to be 1 td ." ~embers of Alpha Zeta are the following : lniY M tlham R . Amick , Philip F . Aylesworth , Roy col agruder , Omega : Frederick E. Hadley, Gam ma ; Sherman G . Oyler, Edwin M. Partridge,

;;?

Nu ; Frederick Dittman, Herman Gnodtke, Har old Lakin , Harry Smith, Alpha -Theta .

This list is undoubtedly very incomplete and notice of corrections and additions will be gratefully received by the chairman of the scholarship committee.

Newhouse Wins New Honors Brother Russell C. Newhouse , Alpha -Nu , one of the six Pi Kappa Phi scholars for 1927 1928, has earned new honors at Ohio State University. He is one of the thre~· fraternity men at Ohio State to have perfect scholarship records for the year 1927 - 1928 . Brother Newhouse made this splendid record on 5 6 classroom hours, a greater number than either of the other two distinguished students.

Does High Scholarship Pay? According to a study covering the records of 3,806 college graduates from 104 colleges, who are employed by the Bell Telephone System, as published by Mr. W . S. Gifford , of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Company, in Harper's Magazine for May, 1928 , high schol arship in college and success with the Bell System are closely related. " Of the 3,806 men studied, 498 had graduated in the first tenth of their respective classes. By about the fifth year of their employment this group began to earn more than the other college men . They con tinued to increase their advantage little by little until they were twenty-five years out of college.

Then they bega n to go ahead still more rap idly." The study also shows that the man in the highest tenth in scholarship has nearly two chances in ten of standing in the first tenth in salary.

Another study by Dr. Louis I. Dublin , Statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, based on the vital history of nearly 40 ,000 graduates of colleges, 5,000 athletes of col leges and 6,5 00 honor students in colleges, shows " that athletes have a moderately higher mortality than their fellows , but a very distinct -

-·-t!i{ 7 ~·-

THE STAR AND LAMP oF Pr KAPPA PHI ly higher one than men of high scholastic rank.

At younger ages the athletes show up somewhat better than the college men as a group though they do not do as well as honor men at these ages. But they have significantly higher death rates after 45 than all other college men and particularly at the more advanced ages."

At the recent national convention of Phi Delta Theta, held at Nashville, Tenn., Dr. John J . Tigert, retiring president of Phi Delta Theta, and now President of the University of Florida, said: " Achievement is the thing that counts. By scholarship as the cornerstone of our organization, we do not mean that the member must be a scholar, but that he must be one who is successful in his studies. Achieve ment is the real thing in life, the thing that brings happiness. The prominent men in life are those who have struggled and worked to their positions of leadership, those who have gone ahead by their own efforts- whose sheer force of effort and dominant personality have put them ahead. And you will find these men to be those, who , in college, did the thing they went there for. Our presidents have been men who had to overcome obstacles. You do not find them among men who live a life of social gayety and ease."

Financing the Anniversary Volume

By GEORGE ALLEN ODGERS,

N

'16

Through its supreme law-making body the fraternity voted to publish a combined history and directory in honor of our approaching twenty-fifth anniversary. In an article in the last number of THE STAR AND LAMP, the Su preme Historian related what had been done by the Supreme Council in preparation for the pub lication of the commemorative volume and explained the necessity of sufficient funds being p ledged before the printing is undertaken.

There is no question regarding the need for and the merits of the proposed book. The one problem before the responsible officers of the fraternity is how to finance successfully the

project. If the volume is to be a success and a credit to Pi Kappa Phi, each member must do his part. All that most of us can do will be to buy a copy. If each member would do that, what a burden would be lifted from Brother Pou's mind .

We have been asked to promise to buy a copy of the book. Why shouldn't we pay in advance?

I= How many copies can we sell? Our fra- E ternity is smalL young and well organized. We C1 ought to set a record. Why .not utilize our g excellent farternity machinery? With the cooperation of the district archon and of the al officers of the chapters, active and alumni, at H least 2,000 copies could be sold and paid for E in advance. tn Each active member ought to buy a copy. E Each chapter ought to buy enough extra copies tl: to supply initiates for the next four or five of years. Each alumnus should buy a copy. The w active chapters can canvass their alumni, and ca the alumni chapters can ring up 100 for sh their members. an At least one copy ought to be placed in the library of each institution where Pi Kapp wi chapters are located. Active and alumni chap- to ters might cooperate in giving copies to strate- on gic high school and city libraries in the territorY ca 1 from which he active chapter draws its recruits. }l Where are our enthusiastic expansionists who ta1 are willing to donate copies for the libraries of W] colleges and universities on the approved list de of Pi Kappa Phi? ba The anniversary is going to be a great suc- W ] cess. All together and over the top with the ni 1 cash on hand.

PULSE OF THE FRATERNITY Alpha Prepares for Convention

By JOHN F. REYNOLDS There are, at present, nine men in Alpha Chapter. Never before in the history of the chapter has there been more pep and enthusiasm in evidence on all sides. Brother Ragnar Johnson, our chapter advisor, has inaugurated a series of talks to be delivered at the meetings on Monday evenings by members of the Charleston Alumni Chapter. The first of the'se talks were mad e by the two founders, Brothers Fogarty and Mixon. Brother Fogarty spoke on the his tory of Pi Kappa Phi and Brother Mixon spoke of the " Duties and Responsibilities of a Pi Kapp." Alpha Chapter deems it a unique privilege to have the founders as advisors.

Brother Hampton Mixon of the Charleston Alumni Chapter has been especially helpful in getting Alpha Chapter under way this year. " Hamp" has done everything from hauling furniture to making speeches. " Hamp" is the General Chairman of the Convention, and with him at the wheel we feel sure that the 1929 convention will be the finest in the history of the Fraternity. It will be history ! Brothers, just think ! the twenty -fifth anniversary of the founding of Pi Kappa Phi will be celebrated at Charleston, the birthplace of the Fraternity.

However, we do not intend to talk convention h ere (we are developing the "Convention Complex"), but it is our purpose to contribute some articles about Charleston and the College of Charleston in the coming issues of THE STAR AND LAMP. We must say that Alpha has never been so fully conscious of her national character as she is becoming und er the stimulus of the convention. The men of Alpha are conspicuously prominent in all student affairs at the college. We .have in our ranks, the president and the vice-president of the Cliosophic Literary Society, the manager of the Freshman basketball team, the recording secretary of the South Carolina Intercollegiate Association, secretary and treasurer of the Engineering Society, members of the Dramatic Society, magazine staff, annual -路路~

staff, Glee Club, Fencing team and Varsity Basketball team.

The officers chosen for this term are: Archon, Nicholas Doscher ; Treasurer, John T . West; Secretary, Earl B. Halsall; Historian, John T .

Reynolds; Chaplain, Lebby B. King; and Warden, Stewart Jennings. Among our body also are Lamar Lee and the two newest brothers, " Buster" Huguenin and Guy Kirton. We have three pledges, Robert Palmer, Joseph Whitsitt and John Jordan. ~

Officers Named at Beta

By J. N. GASTON, JR. At a recent meeting of Beta , the officers for the second semester were elected as follows: Walker Huggins, archon, to succeed Arnold Marshall; J . R . Kennedy, secretary, and J. N .

Gaston, corresponding secretary.

Another member from Beta's ranks, " Chip" Grafton, has been elected to editor-in-chief of The Blue Stocking , the college weekly paper.

Other brothers on the staff are: Beverly Young, varsity sport editor, and Stark Sims, joke editor.

Brothers Mac Adair, Phil Roberts and " Chip" Grafton are candidates for the basketball team . It won't be long before the crack of the old horse -hide will be heard in practically all parts of the world of sportsdom. Brothers Huggins and Gaston will be Beta's representatives on the diamond when Coach Johnson calls his nine for practice.

bright, steward; Paul E . Pettygrove, historian; Lee Blum, warden, and Leslie Hedge, chaplain.

Nu continues to gain more and more prestige in athletics as the year goes on. Sloan and Zuver have done their share on one of Nebraska 's greatest gridiron squads.

Brother Zuver finished his football career on New Year's Day at Dallas, Texas, in a benefit game played there between the cream of the Big Six Conference and the pick of the Southwest Conference. His name has appeared on all of the Big Six honor selections picked yearly by notable sport critics.

Brother Sloan has appeared in selections of most critics. Some of these honors include all first team selections for the Big Six; McBride's and Eckersall' s first All-Western; Eckersall' s and Rockne-Jones-Warner's second All -American selections, and honorable mention on practically every other All -American selection.

Social activities have been frequent and of outstanding quality this semester. Perhaps the _m ost notable achievement was through the work of the Mother's Club. Their latest accomplishment was a bridge benefit held at the chapter house on the afternoon of December 8. About seventy couples attended.

Other recent social activities include the Founders' Day Banquet which was held at the Elks' Club in Omaha. The banquet was held at Omaha through the cooperation of the Omaha alumni chapter, which made it possible for a large number of the alumni to attend.

Following the holidays we started off with an alumni dinner at the chapter house on January 14. Several remained for the meeting and election of chapter officers following the dinner. ~

Chi Initiates Nine Nine pledges have been initiated at Chi. The new brothers are: William Brown, Edward Ferguson, P . 0. Mikel. of DeLand, Fla . ; Albert Bush of Winchester, Ky.; Charles Osborne of Umatilla, Fla. ; Earl Jenkinson of Sheldon, Iowa; Edwin Vosburg of Johnstown, N. Y.; James Justice of Lakeland, Fla., and Gilbert Betschick of West Palm Beach, Fla. We enjoyed a very profitable evening together December 10, when all the members and pledges attended a smoker at the house in ob servance of Founders' Day. We tuned in on the Pi Kapp broadcast from Atlanta, which in our opinion was about the finest way that an occasion of this kind could be celebrated. The inspiring speeches of our founders were indeed a treat, and one could not help but renew his pledge to old Pi Kappa Phi and realize what a privilege it was to be associated with such a great organization. The Atlanta Alumni Association is to be congratulated on the tine program given on that night.

Perhaps the outstanding position at this season of the year is the captaincy of the Hatter basketball team, which position is held by Brother Welshinger. He has also been a star end on the football team for three years.

With Brother Welshinger on the basketball team are Brothers Jenkinson, Ulmer, Grant, and Eustice.

Brother Wagg is captain of the track team, and Brother Hendrix is manager.

Brother Kenyon is president of Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic fraternity, and is also president of the orchestra.

Brother Montgomery is manager of the Stetson band, which won praise at Tallahassee recently where it played a large part in the successful inauguration of Florida's new Governor, Doyle Carlton, a former Stetson student.

Brothers Bush and Wagg are also members of the band.

The destinies of the Stetson year book are guided by Brother Hendrix, Brother Garrison, advertising manager, and Brother Grant, rcirculation manager.

Brothers Jennings and Freeman are managing the Campus Chatter.

Pi Kapp Elected Student President Start Building Plans at Oregon State

By N. A.

GILLESPIE

First definite steps towards construction of a new home have been undertaken by Pi Kapps, at Oregon State College. The insurance plan has been adopted as the most practical means of accumulating part of the necessary large sum for building purposes. Most of the members have already taken out their policies and every effort will be made to have the house built within two years.

Alpha -Zeta chapter's roll of pledges has been increased by pledging Eldon Runciman, Exeter, California, and A. E. Gardiner, Portland.

Pledges who made the required scholastic average, and will be initiated this term are John Dutro, sophomore in agriculture; Willard Ormsby, freshman in electrical engineering; Dick Wilson and Oroville Lynn, freshmen in commerce.

Pi Kapps were again honored scholastically when two of their members were pledged to honor societies last fall. Robert Peacock, junior in commerce, was pledged to Alpha Delta Sigma, national honorary in advertising.

Brother Peacock is already a member of National Collegiate Players. Howard Davis was pledged to Kappa Kappa Psi, national band honorary fraternity .

The election of Brother Bascom Woodward as president of the Howard College Student Body for 1929 marks the fourth Pi Kapp president in the eight years Howard has had the student form of government. Brother Woodward's victory is the result of one of the most hotly contested elections in the history of the college. The December 5th issue of the H award Crimson , the student publication, contains the following remarks regarding Brother Woodward: "Since entering Howard in 1926, Woodward has taken an active part in student activities.

During his Freshman year he was a member of the Freshman tennis team, and since that time has performed with the varsity outfit. This year he is president of the tennis club, member of the student counciL fraternity editor of the Entre Nous and member of the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council.

"Aside from student activities, Woodward has shown an aptness for things chemicaL and is this year serving as an assistant in the chemistry laboratory."

Alpha -Eta's honors for this year, however, lie not only in the election of the president of the Student Body, but also in other lines of acttvtty. Brother Louis Rhudy, alternate-captain of the varsity f()otball squad, and Brother Lee Roberts have been acclaimed as two of the greatest guards that ever played on a Howard team.

Alpha- Theta Pledges Organized By

LOUIS

W. RAYMOND

Our pledges have been organized into a group that can function by itself, having its own ?fficers and rules.

They have shown their Interest in the fraternity by the application of their resourcefulness and initiative to further the interests of ou.r organization.

Since they have been organized they have sponsored a bridge tournament, a smoker and an open house, at which Joseph Bailey Edmonds, one of our alumni now teaching horticulture here, acted as patron.

They have assisted financially by running a canteen and using the profits to defray some of the expenses of social affairs usually taken care of through the general treasury.

Robert Branch, of Battle Creek, is president and Howard Brigham, Richmond, is secretary and treasurer. ~

Alpha-Iota Plans House

By A. N.

DAVIS

The interest of all Alpha-Iota members and

~le~ges has been aroused to the highest degree unng the past month as our dreams of a new house approach reality. But determination on the part of the chapter has inspired several of t~e alumni to offer assistance in any way pos~ble. These loyal men headed by J. Chandler h Urton and W. K. Upchurch, both of Birming. am, have offered to assist this chapter in rais~ng $5,000, the amount necessary to have on ~nd in order that a new house be erected here Wtthi~ the next two years. There is a plan in o~eratton here by which a fraternity, having 路 路 路 $5 ,000, may borrow $25,000 fratsed th e lnttlal rom the college. This sum must be paid back

within twenty years. Payment of interest plus a portion of the principal will amount to about two hundred dollars per month for the twenty . years. We hope to have our $5,000 by ApriL 1929, at the very latest. In order to raise our share every man in the chapter pledged himself to take his meals at the house until January 1, 1929 . Instead of being served three meals a day, we had only two, but paid for all three.

Then instead of paying board for only twentyone days in the month of December, we paid through the Christmas holidays. Thus by sacrificing one meal a day along with part of our Christmas money we will raise part of our quota. And if a few more alumni will show their interest as Brothers Burton and Upchurch have, the Alpha-Iota's will erect a home in Auburn on which every Pi Kappa Phi may look with pride.

We were very sorry to learn of the unexpected death of P. W. Crump, father of Noble and Peter Crump.

We present two new pledges : William Cumbee, second cousin to Al Cumbee, who was Archon of the_Eta chapter last year, is follow ing in the footsteps of four other cousins by the same name who are Pi Kapps. M. G. Rose, a freshman from Troy, was pledged a few weeks ago.

We were mighty glad to have George Grant of Omicron chapter, with us the first week -end of November. Brother Grant is one of the Past Supreme Secretaries of Pi Kappa Phi and is now a prominent lawyer of Troy, Ala .

We enjoyed having nearly the entire Alpha Eta chapter as out guests for the Howard football game and the dance that night.

Brother Rex Sikes is back in school here now, after a year's sojourn in the wide open spaces of New Mexico. He attended the University of New Mexico, at Albuquerque, last year. ~

Alpha-Xi Holds Banquet By

Brockman Leader in Chemistry Field

LOUIS N. RoWLEY, JR.

The feature of the pre-holiday season at Alpha-Xi chapter was the annual Christmas banquet held December 19, at the Hotel Brevoort. For years the brothers have gathered thus to celebrate in the Christmas spirit and relight the fires of brotherhood . At this year's banquet Brother Me-isel, '02, acted as toastmaster. Reversing the usual custom, the mem?ers of the active chapter had to do the spouttng and Brothers Wart, Geier and Rowley told of the activities and plans of the undergraduates.

Following the speeches, Brother Kirkegaard acted the part of Santa Claus, minus the whiskers, and distributed the presents.

Just before the exam period officers were elected for the spring semester. Brother Her bert Geier, '2 9, was elected archon to succeed Brother Wort , first archon of Alpha-Xi. Brother Geier is also editor of The Polywog, ~he college annual. Incidentally Brother Wort ts business manager of the same publication .

Brother Romanow was re -elected treasurer and Brothers Carlson and Rowley were also re el~cted secretary and historian. Brother Dalton Wtll succeed Brother Aguirre as chaplain and the office of warden is now filled by Brother Carell.

Alpha-Xi is also proud to count as brothers srveral prominent members of the Polytechnic Faculty. William J . Berry is chairman of the mathematics department ; Irving Fay is head of ~he department of chemistry; Erich Hausmann 1 ~ !homas Potts Professor of physics and ~ atrman of the department; Harry Hammond ~ head of the department of civil engineering; dward Squire is a professor in the same de pa~tment and Clyde Whipple and Henry Han stet~ are prominent members of electrical engineenng staff.

By R. C. CONNALLY The continued success with which the efforts of Charles J. Brockman, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Georgia, have been crowned and the international reputation he is gaining as an authority in his field , make us desirous of sharing with the fraternity the pride which Lambda has in Brother Brockman and his achievements.

He is a graduate of Lehigh University and came to Georgia as an instructor eight years ago with his A. B. and Ch. E. degrees. While an instructor he received his M. S. He is at present associate professor of chemistry.

Numerous lectures, pamphlets and short treatises brought Brother Brockman wide recog~ nition prior to 1926 but in that year he completed and gave to the chemical world his "Electro -Organic Chemistry" (John Wiley t1 Sons, 1926 ). The press reports and comments in the various scientific journals of America and abroad converge in the opinion that this text is decidedly one of the most outstanding contributions to the field of electro-organic chemistry and Professor Brockman has gained a wide reputation and established himself in a preeminent position in this field of chemistry.

Professor Brockman is a member of Phi Beta Ka.p pa, the American Chemical Society, and a captain in the Chemical Warfare Reserves of the U . S. Army.

In addition to his literary accomplishments he is a talented musician and is possessed of a rare sense of humor and a dynamic personality which has endeared him to all those who have had the privilege of being associated with him.
