Th e training course extend s over :1 peri od of one year, eight month s for the prima ry a nd four f or th e ad vanced phase. Three n ew cl asses commence prima ry t r aining yearly; M a r ch 1st, July 1st, and N ovember 1st.

Pi cture appr oximately two hund red and twentyfi ve young hopeful s entering the folds of the fl ying cadets as lowl y " dodos" ("dodo"-a t ake off on t hat eartl1 bound foul of antiquity whi ch though p ossessing wings was unable to fl y).

Swift and complete comes the shattering of his illusion. N o longer 3 civiJian, he is now a " dodo"- th e lowest of the low, a humble molecule of humanity.

Early in his career, J olm Dodo, starts on a long siege of ground school which continues the greater part of the year. The ground school in the p rnnary · schools embraces such su b'Jects as: aerial navigation, radio buzzer, practice, airplane engines, airplane maintenance, gunnery, maps, ~eteorology, aerodynamics, air commerce regulations, etc. Soon after his arrival the embryo pilot takes his ride in the Ruggle's Pursuit (Orientator) a gyrating mechanism designed as a primary check on students natural aptitute or ability to fly.

" Eventually flying starts. Groups of four or five dodos" arc assigned to each instructor and the first dual hop takes place. For the "dodo," this event marks the start of the year's work. Instruction 8 · In take-offs, gentle banks, and landings feature the start. Slipping and skidding, aris ing through failure to properly co-ordinate use of stick and rudder, constitute the first difficulty to be conquered.

W eaving take-offs and undertain bumpy landings occur all over the field. After a few hours it is apparent to an instructor which of his charges will make the grade and which \Vill require undue coaching. Check pilots with thei r "b uzzard wagons" check the progress of stu· dents from time to time and long before solo time arrives more than a few unfortunates have met the l3oard and are traveling homeward at government expe nse.

He has seen fellow students wash themselves out by worrying and reSolves to avoid it himself.

John "Dodo" l1as survived the check rides, hi s are fairly good and hi s landings not as Ull:Jpy as at the start. He has some seven to ten hours dual on his logbook. Comes a certain eventful morning. John Dodo takes a dual hop featuring a few practice spins and recovery, landings und take-offs. They l and. His instructor looks hitn over and suddenly asks, "Think you can take her around?" "Yes, sir," booms the "dodo" in reply. Climbing out, the instructor gives a few Words of advice and adds, "Don't break your neck, you know these ships cost a lot of moneyg~ ahead." Tickled to the g ills, John "Dodo" gtves her the gun. The wheels start to roll slowly

at first bumping heavily along the ground. The speed increases, easing forward on the stick the tail lifts. The wheels are skimm ing along the ground. A sense of buoyancy is felt. Pulling gently back on the stick, the bumping suddenly ceases. The ship is off on the eventful take-off.

The front cockpit gapes emptily at him- there is no familiar helmeted figure up there to help out in a pinch this trip. Climbing up to six hundred feet he cautiously assays his first ' bank. Reassured when the controls respond perfectly, he breathes easily for the first time and turns his attention to the landing which he must make. Making his ap-

proach, he eases back on the throttle and glides downward. Maybe he levels off too high and frops in, perhaps he fl ys into the ground, bumps his wheels and bounces twenty feet skyward, possibly he doesn't like the prospects and guns it around for another try. Eventually he must come down- that gas won't last all day. With a do-it-ordie attitude he sets her down OK much to hi s satisfaction and secret relief. Congratulations follow.

The boys at the table smoke cigars that noon and a highly polished "dog tag" (identification bracelet) appears for the first time on l1is wrist.

J olm Cadet is now on solo stage and tak s the group's solo ship up for a work-out each morning in addition to his dual rides which continue.

Soon l1e has twenty or thirty hours and another check ride to check his progress. John Cadet survives-others arc not so fortunate and the tents are further thinned out, perhaps some of his own tent mates met the Board.

UR HISTORY, th e history of Pi Kappa Phi, is no narra tive of a journey up a rose strewn p ath to glory and di stinction. Distin ction, and no small amount of glory there is ; but achieved at what pri ce !

There seems to be a tendency extant among frat ernity men eith er to ignore the dark days and the moments of seemingly hopeless struggle in th eir history, or to minimi ze the gloom by enl arging up on th e more proud and dazzling hours of triumph .

SCHOLARSHIP records of our leading Senior and Junior scholars who wish to be members of the group of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930 are due now. Many of these records have already been received and are being carefully studied. When it is realized that there are Probably six hundred or more active Pi Kappa Phi who are Seniors or Juniors and who are eligible for consideration for this great fraternal honor, it is evident that the competition is very keen, particularly since the number of such awards in any one year is limited to nine. However, the maxiInurn number of awards has yet to be made for any one year. This is due to the fact that the standards are high and the awards are made on the basis of scholarship only, without regard for the extracurricular activities of the candidates. This is as it should be and consequently those who receive the highest scholarship honor that Pi Kappa Phi can bestow upon them, may indeed feel justifiably Proud of their records, for, in general, they have succeeded under much stiffer competition than is necessary to attain membership in any of the truly scholarship honor societies on their respective camPuses. With the expansion of our fraternity and ~he larger number of candidates to be considered, It is hoped that the maximum number of awards lnay be made this year. In recognition of the honor l1e has brought to himself and to Pi Kappa Phi through his scholarship achievements, each l>i kappa Phi Scholar is presented with the Pi l\appa Phi Pendant, which is a beautiful trophy, Upon the back of which is engraved his name, his chapter name, and the year of the award.

'I'his is the fourth year that these hono'rs have been offered. The first group of Pi Kappa Phi scholars numbered only two, but the 1928 and l!l29 groups had six and four members, respectively. The distribution of these Scholars among our chapters is of considerable interest. Beta and Omega chapters each have three members, and the three members from Beta chapter are brothers.

sentative. Five of the twelve Pi Kappa Phi Scholars have received their awards as Juniors. In every case they have been outstanding men on their respective campuses and several of them have records that are unique in their respective insitutions.

Brother Thomas H. Grafton, Beta, 1927, made an almost perfect scholarsl1ip record during his four years at Presbyterian College, the highest in its history, and at the same time he was editor of the student paper and general leader on tl1e campus.

Brother James T. Jackson, Alpha Eta, 1928, made one of the most brilliant records ever attained at Howard College and was elected president of the student body in 1926 when only seventeen years of age. Brother Russell C. Newhouse, Alpha Nu, 1928, led the entire student body at Ohio State in scholarship for several years, and at the same time was a leader in several campus organizations and served as an undergraduate assistant in electrical engineering. The records of the other Pi Kappa Phi Scholars are almost as good. The records of these men justify the high standards demanded for membership among the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars and the attainment of such membership is a distinct honor.

Blanks for the filing of scholarship records may be obtained from the chapter secretaries or from the chairman of the national scholarship committee. Every worthwhile record will be carefully studied and weighted according to the standards of

ROTHER T. J. Payne, Jr. was recently elected to receive the Earl Carroll Service Key for this year. This is the highest Honor which this Chapter can give a Brother, and the following are some of the rules which govern the awarding of this Key: "The Earl Carroll Service Key is given by Earl Carroll, '27, to the Alpha Eta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi to be given by said Chapter to the brother in the chapter who, during his three or four years in the chapter or college, has rendered the most outstanding service to the fraternity. The purpose in making this award is to create a desire to serve the fraternity and to cause the brothers to find some noble way to express that desire.

The donor believes that Pi Kappa Phi can be what it should only through loyal service that is rendered it through its members. If the challenge of this little key can in some way urge the brothers that are to follow to serve Pi Kappa Phi in a better way, then its purpose will have been realized.

"The basis for choosing the brother to whom the key shall be awarded shall be nothing but service to the fraternity and especially to the chapter. This service shall include work inside

the chapter, in co-operating with the Birmipg路 ham Alumni Chapter, and in doing any work 00 the campus that would help the fraternity in aP1 way.

"The brother shall be elected by secret ballot and a three-fourths majority shall be necessarY for election. The Key shall be given each year fot at least twenty years, except as hereinafter P ro路 vided.

"If at any time the chapter thinks that no oPe brother is sufficiently entitled to receive the keY' no award shall be made. To give the key to soJll~ one who is not deserving, though be be the beSd the chapter has that particular year, woul_ cheapen the value of the key and not be in kee~t ing with the purpose for which it is given. Let 1 be said at all times that each brother that b~~ received the key has truly deserved it. Let 1 be an honor in Pi Kappa Phi to be able to wellr it!"

Michigan Awaits You, Pi Kapps

By J.

WILSON RoBINSON

BROTHERS, Michigan, the Nation's Playground will be the mecca of Pi Kapps in August, 1 931. With the selection of Detroit as the next convention city and the time changed 1rom December to August gives all Pi Kapps, especially the Alumni, an opportunity to plan a wonderful vacation and at the same time attend a wonderful convention.

While you are away on your vacation this summer, brothers, start making plans on taking next summer's vacation in Michigan in August and September just before or after the 1931 convention.

Michigan is a place of scenic harmonies, a region that nature has set aside for itself. At the same time it is the center of the industries which have made Michigan known in every corner of the inhabited globe.

In blossom-time the highways, fields, forests and plains lie heavy with tl1e perfume of 247 varieties of wild flowers, the most prolific wild flower section in the country, if not in the world.

Here are the breeding places for hundreds of different species of birds, including the Kirtland Warbler, the early morning operas of woodland choirs of 361 species awaken you as they float skyward to spires of pine, balsam, spruce and fir. If lovely spots lure you, wl1at a playground this is.

Four of the five Great Lakes lap Michigan's shores; a shoreline of 3,120 miles of yellow sand, longer than that possessed by any other state, making safe beaches for children and grown-ups to bathe and play on.

A $250,000,000 l1ighway system leads to 78 state forests, Huron National Forest of 616,000 acres, 67 state par)l:s, 17 fish hatcheries, l 1 game refuges, turbulent rivers, murmuring streams, gay resorts, quiet retreats, 5,000 inland lakes whose breezes relax taut nerves.

The appeal of Michigan is heightened by its rich and colorful historical background. Here the

first white settlers came. Here three nations fought desperately for possession of this juciest of plums after the discovery of the new world. lt . was here that Pontiac, the greatest of all In d19 Chiefs .fomented the war in history as "'fbe Pontiac Conspiracy."

Brothers, these are only highlights of what Vie will have to tell you in later issues of THE S'l'AF AND LAMP about this wonderful playground. foil will never regret a vacation spent in Micbig1111' and remember the Detroit Alumni Association js throwing in as an added attraction, the greatest Pi Kappa Phi Convention you will have ever had the privilege and pleasure to attend. Every minute of your time while in Detroit will be packed full of surprises. You can't afford to miss it. ~

The Cl1arleston Convention could not ha''e selected a more perfect setting for a Summer coli' vention and vacation, no place offers such induce· ments for complete change, rest and quick up· building of both mind and body. Here, coolf ozone-laded breezes, fragrant with the scent 0 .

1 the pine and the juniper waft a welcome to a111' P' Kapps. Start planning now your Summer v cation; as Amos and Andy would say, "Come to Micl1igan to unlax you rself, if you don't you'll be regusted."

Just to give you an idea of who the Brothers are behind this 1931 Convention, look over th~ following list of members of the Detroit Alu!JlJll Association. Here in Detroit you will find Brothers wl10 hail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, froJll Washington to Florida.

Our present membership consists of 4·0 Brothers 05 from 10 different cl1 apters, and by next Christ!Jl 60· we expect to have a membership of at least Think of it, Brothers; 60 live-wire Pi Kapps blr sides the Alpha Theta and Alpha Kappa Chapter; who will be responsible and who will meet thO · you t h e b est convention · ever respons1'bil't 1 y t o gJVe held in the history of Pi Kappa Phi, look 'em over]· • tC I Bnd, Orson D., Michigan State, Resell

J. Ch am Freeman is a well known and extremely eligible young bach elor down in Spartanburg, S. C. His business in life is selling the boys insurance and acting as chapter adviser to Zeta Chapter, all of whi ch does not prevent his t aking time out to produce excellent song and verse.

Members hearing these songs at Charleston expressed the hope and desire that these musicians of ours will find many more golden hours in which to gath er together other collections of high and low notes with which to regale the ears of the frat ernity . More power to them.

t was pl anned to have the songs played before the assembled convention, sung by th e gath ered lllembers, and th en judged by acclaim. · fiowever, wh en R alph Tabor, of Mercer, sat down to the piano and played number after number, it was instantly obvious that a decision would never be reached ther e. Tabor, a skilled Pianist and radio arti st, re-played th e songs, and ~veral of them were sung by picked voi ces. Th e " ew York delegation from Brooklyn Poly sang . In a L and Where Good F ellowship R eigns," llllmediately assuring this song of a p ermanent Plac e In · t h e hearts of the fraternity. . Voicing th e sentiment of the multitude, Execuhve-I mpresarw . L eake announced that the songs \Vould be held and turned over to a competent committee for ca reful consideration and fin al judging.

THE EVOLUTION OF A FLYING CADET ( Con t in ued from P age 3)

The g round school a nd fl y ing continues. Air work now includes wingovers, banks, S's, power off work, et c., and before long accuracy landings a re the schedule. Throug hout the first four months of primar y training th e instructor has somewh at acquainted his student with acrobatics and just prior to check-off these are th e sp ecialty.

Four month s l1 ave elap sed and th e upper class has g r adua ted and left for Kelly Field- th at faint hop e on th e f a r horizo.n. John " Dodo's" class has checked off th e prima ry training ships ( PT3 's ) and ar e now sla ted t o sp end four month s on service ships, Liberty motored jobs, D e H avilands ( DHs) and Douglas 0 2K 's. Slightly better tl1an fifty p er cent of the orig inal class has made the gr ade to thi s point.

New in structors and new g roups a re assigned for th e second step. A little du al and tl1 e boys (n ow upperclassmen ) solo the Dh 's and 02's. After fl ying these s hips Upperclassman J obn Cadet, wonders how he ever called tl1 e PT an airplane, these n ew shi ps a re the berries with some 420 H. P. in place of the 225 or so which pulled th e PT's. Th e work for th e n ext four months p arallels th at of th e first four quite closely, the differ ence being in the ships flown.

Eight month s have p assed and th e r ecord checkoff arrives. Again some boys lose out, ha rd to take it this stage of the game with Kelly only a week or two away. Form ation fl ying and cross country flyin g now appears on th e menu and all th e boys look upon thi s la tter as the cream of th e whole course. One day they hop from Ri verside to Brawley, th ence to S an Diego, and r eturn to M a rch Fi eld. Another day carri es th em over th e Moj a ve D esert, through th e T ehachapi Pass to B ak ersfi eld ; r ecrossing th e Moj ave to B a rstow and r eturning to Ma rch Field.

Gradua tion day comes at l as t and that same night sees th e lucky .boys on their way to the Air Corps Advanced Flying School at Kelly Fi eld, San Antonio, th eir on e goal throughout th e primary course.

New arrivals from the prirnar)' schools a re promptly ass ig ned to the various sec· tions. Each section l1 as its own sp ecific type of tra ining . Pursuit carries out combat and t actical forma tion missions with th eir sp eedy single seater Boeing PW's. Attack with its low flying rendezvous, and attack mi ssion s, fli es th at sterling ship, th e Curtiss Falcon ( A 3) powered with the ace of American water cooled engines, the CurtisS D -12.

ThC obse rvers with th eir 02's ha ve their reconna issance missions. Wh ereas cross countrys in primary days were an event to look f01·wa rd to- nearly everY mission at Kelly entails to some degree or other a cross country hop. Th ere are num erous spe· cific cross countrys in addition. N umerous such during the course ar e climaxed by a r eal hop near th e end of the course. In th e las t class it was at· t ack whi ch had the most lengthy hop; nearly t\1' 0 thousand miles covering virtually all the rirn of T exas, a la rge portion of Oklahoma and a triP of New Mexico. Incid ently th er e's some good turkey buzzard country on the hop from Ft. Sill, Okl ahom a, to El P aso and similarlv between El • t P aso and San Antone. Tl1 e buzza rds out in tha desola te and forsaken r egion are quick to detecl th e sound of a missing motor.

An account of the years training which ignored night fl ying would be far from complete. To the writer that was on e of the most inter esting fell' ture of the course, particularly th e night cross country mi ssions, p articipat ed in by all sectionS· Night form a tion flyin g was likewi se a part of th e training. For sheer pleasure th ere is nothing equal to night flyin g.

Ime is rapidly consumed by visits to the nrJou A E. s rt Museums and Institutes, by a trip to ~anst traJ on, Northwestern University and the Cen"' Office. Soldiers Field, the battleground of "•any and .a game, holds new tluills for us by its beauty be Slze. I suppose a visit to any city would not or Cotnplete if it did not include a musical comedy two an d so we made our visit complete. ll.elat· a~> . lVes are bade goodbye and good luck and .,a1n , t'r ve are on our way to the birthplace of our bu aternity. Cities like Akron, Cleveland, Harrisrg, Pittsburgh are soon passed by and we are

in Washington, D. C. There are so many places and things which we wish to see that we become dizzy at the thought of getting them all accomplished. A guide assures us that he will show us all there is to be seen in four hours so we jump into l1is waiting machine and visit in rapid succession the capital building, the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, Smith sonian Institute, Treasury Building, Pan-American building, Ford Theatre, where Lincoln was shot, Washington's old home, and numerous other places of interest. How much more interesting history must be to school cl1ildren who have the privilege of visiting these landmarks of United States' growth. The Congressional Library claims much of our time with its beautiful construction, its exhibits of original paintings, books and music.

Time for convention is rapidly drawing near so we reluctantly leave this beautiful city and travel on toward Charleston. A one-day stop is made at Richmond, Virginia, so that we can see the charm of southern homes with their old Colonial pillars.

On the train again the wheels sing their merry tune as the rails click. In a few hours now we will be "Home" to pay our respects to those courageous founders wl10 saw a need and l1ad the strength of their convictions to carry out plans to meet that need. We go into communion with ourselves and wonder if the founders wl10 are still with us will be disappointed with us or whether tney will be proud and glad to shake our hands and call us "brother."

With our arms filled with luggage we must present a sight as we troup into the Frances Marion :Hotel. Brothers meet us and pass along a welcome whih rings true. We breathe a sigh of relief as we feel assimilated into the fellowship and realize that we are acceptable.

Convention itself is a merry whirl of greeting, bull-fests, meetings, ice water, dances, receptions, business, women, sightseeing trips, dedications, memorial services, roundtable discussions and ban-

quets all filled with merriment, fellowship and pride.

Why can't we have a convention every year so tl1at the chapters farther away from the home place will have more to tie to. It is the purpose and the result of a convention to acquire that feeling of unity between the chapters themselves, and between chapters, Central Office, and the Supreme Council.

Tl1e progress of tlle fraternity is assured with such capable men in control as A. Pelzer Wagener, E lmer Turnquist, Howard Leake, Leo Pou and otbers who l1 elp to steer our ship. The foresight and constructive criticism of the living founders naturally has its tremendous bearing on our fate.

They have put us through the dark days and so are versed to help us in these brighter days by forewarning us of the pitfalls that may lie in the path.

All of you have read about convention itself many times so I will not dwell upon it any more than to say "DON'T MISS THE CONVENTION IN DETROIT IN 1931."

Tl1e trip home is a trip filled with memories.

Each event again comes before you and is lived many times over. For the first time since I became a member I begin to feel the power of size, begin to see beyond my own chapter. Names come back to you and you swell with pride at being able to call Bill Garibaldi, Howard Davis, Ross Humes, and many others, your brothers. You are proud you belong to a fraternity composed of such men who are doing their utmost to make it the best fraternity in the world.

Home again and then come in seemingly endless numbers the questions. Each night finds my room filled with brothers anxious to find out about the southern hospitality, about the Founders, about other chapters and how we compare witb them.

These and many other questions keep the lights burning long past midnight until finally we all give up and go to bed for a rest and a chance to think up other questions~ It is a great experience, never miss it . if you can help it. You'll find that it gives you an insight into the working of your fraternity which you can never get by confining your interest to the local chapter.

upon all sources of information. While Pi Kappa Phi is relatively a young fraternity the historians of the future will find a splendid foundation for their work in the story of the first twenty-five years so carefully prepared by Mr. Sheetz.

While no attempt is made to present tbe detailed history of each of the fraternity's forty chapters the story of the founding, the government, conven· tions and publications of the general body is pre· sent ed in interesting readable form. The illustru· tions include personalities, scenes and groups co!l' nected with history of Pi Kappa Phi witb copieS of minutes, chapters and early records.

The catalogue lists the membership by chapters, geographically and alphabetically and the material is printed in a very accessible manner. The use of bold face sets the names out plainly and a!l unusual feature is the date of initiation of each man. A complete biographical record is also in· eluded. We have never seen a better directory.

Physically the book is an attractive one. Printed on book paper, the illustrations are inserted o!l high grade enamel and the bulk has been kept down so that the volume is of useable size. It iS bound in silk cloth and stamped in gold and thC typography is modern without being flash y .

Therefore, it was with somber eyes that I looked upon the Great Divide, musing at the time that the Greatest Divide was when the railroad says: "How much money have you? I will divide with you by taking 90 per cent and leaving you 10 per cent." (Maybe that is an application of the 90 per cent perspiration and 10 per cent inspiration adage.)

It was great to see Walt Jones in the station at Seattle and thereafter sob forth my woes on his shoulder. \Valt was very comforting.

Leftenant Walter Jones of the Naval Reserve, a pilot of hours, sight for feminine eyes in his uniform, has the air bacterium. Not content with the presidency of the Willis-Jones Machinery Company, he is planning divorce in order to pursue the attractive second love-air transportation.

Shortly Walt informed me that the estimable and esteemed J. Fl'iend Day would be pleased to see me in Vancouver regarding a certain promise he made to the convention assembled at Birmingham, which, incidentally, bears every indication of being about to be fulfilled. Having heard much of that " land of the free" and mecca of those citizens of the United States who have voted for modification in the Literary Digest hay vote, in the words of pastors who have been given the invitation to new pastures, I accepted the call with all due humility and pleasure, only, after, however, giving that group of men's men at Alpha Delta the glad l1and.

In spite of the fact that I caused .T. Friend to break an engagement to play his beloved game of golf, he was warm in his greeting. But that is he himself-genial, affable, courteous, refreshingly original and individual.

Well, the first event of the social whirl for the boys was a theatre party-dinner at Durgin Park, Boston's famous old eating place, followed by tl1e season's version of Earl Carroll's Vanities, l10t from Broadway.

Then came December 10. The group met for a Founders' Day dinner at the Commander Hotel in Cambridge. There was no official program, except the menu, but it was a thorougllly enjoyable evening. In lieu of speeches and toasts, Brothers Warren and Alderman regaled the company with stories and other sorts of near-humor .

The intermission for Christmas followed. Three of the faithful made the long trip to Charleston for the Convention. Brother Alderman rode his railroad pass, while Brothers Derrick and Holcombe, not being in on the graft, made the trip in their thirty-dollar Ford, "Hope."

Shortly after Christmas vacation, a couple of the brothers invited the bunch over to their suite for a smoker. Pretzels were served, but beer was neither present nor accounted for. At the smoker, plans were made for a dinner at the Faculty Club of the Harvard Business School.

Brother Alderman arranged tl1e dinner, and gave us a real treat. His selection of menu was excellent, and l1is selection of waitresses was · fair to medium. Immediately preceding the dinner, the brothers assembled at a Cambridge Studio for the group picture. Two of the number were unable to be present: Brother Spruill and a previous engagement, and the girls just won't let Brother Dillon alone.

The dinner is the most recent development to date. Plans are now under way for Ladies' Night, which will be the season's swan song. This promises to be the biggest and, of course, the best of the year, and a fitting finale to a year of good fellowship among the Harvard Pi Kapps.

By E. T. SHERWOOD

With seventeen active men on the chapter roll, Alpha Alpha is bringing to a close what is believed to have been one of the most successful years in :he ohapter's history. Only two brothers will be ;st by graduation in June.

They are Billy torey and Billy Etheridge. Brother Max Chaplllan completed his work for a degree at the end ~f the Winter term and will also receive his degree In June. tl

"L·

Jttle Commencement" dances were held at Je Volunteers Armory on the n.ghts of March 27 2 ff' 8, 29. A number of alumni attended the a air.

Elections of all student body and class officers 26. Brother Ullman arden was elected Jndge of the Student Tribunal, Brother Phil Etheridge was elected president ~If the Senior law class and defense counsel for le Student tribunal and Brother Clarence Askew '~'as elected vice-president of tl1e Senior Class. for n t li ex year were held April

Brothers Brownie Sinclair and John Barnes :re fighting hard for places on the Freshman t:sebaU team. Both men made the first trip of the season. Brother John Cash is a member of .e Freshman debating team. Pledge Cox is also WJnn· · Jng mtersociety debating honors. l<:aAfter defeating the Alpha Tau Omega and to P~a Alpha basketball teams, Pi Kappa Phi lost :P :P 1 Rappa Alpha in the semi-finals of the annual San-BeHenic basketball tournament.

Brotl1ers t torey and Sinclair were named on the allOurnament team. :P·Brother Joe Freeman, formerly a member of 1 chapter, is a welcome addition to our chapter ranks 1\i · B rother Freeman is a member of the ercer Glee Club and is one of the leading sol oists.

C The c1lapter also welcomes Pledge Emory oneu back to school after an absence of nearI Y a year. Brother Jolm Barnes is our newest add 1't· i . . Jon to tl1e ch apter roll, he was recently n1bated.

THIRTEEN Freshman were initiated into Omega chapter April 13. Their names are: Henry G. Thoeming, Chicago Heights, Ill.; Alfred L. Herr, Chicago Heights, Ill.; Solan S . Jackman, Chicago, Ill.; Warren T. Willis, Chicago, Ill.; Vernon J. Pease, Goshen, Ind.; Charles Isaacs, Chicago Heigllts, Ill.; Herold E. Miller, Cedarburg, Wis.; Herold Bendeau, Rocky River, Ohio; Elliott N. Franklin, Indianapolis, Ind.; Frederick 0. Griewonk, La Port, Ind.; Richard J. Golmar, Elyria, Ohio; Charles W. Myers, Cham bridge City, Ind.; and Bruce G. Morris, Greenwood, Ind. Well, how does Omega stand jn connection with athletics, honoraries, and activities? She is far from ashamed of her attainments. Gordon Chapman, a pledge, won his numerals in Freshman basketball. "Slim" Miller won first in 100 and 220 yard dash, "AI" Herr won second in 220 low hurdles, and "Chuck" Isaacs won second in the broad jump in the inter-class meet. "Joe" Clark and Clarence Field are still going in baseball. "Joe" Nichols was elected secretary of the Local Branch of the A.S.M.E., and we have three members up for election to offices in the A.I.E.E. Now comes the honoraries which Pi Kapps rate this Spring.

"Chet'' Langston came home the other evening wearing the Ceres colors, which represents tl1e general agriculture honorary. Brother Gedrge Fassnacht made Chi Epsilon, honorary civil, and is elected to Tau Beta Pi, all engineering honorary. "Jim" Beggs made Eta Kappa Nu last Fall and is also elected to Tau Beta Pi. "Art" Bostater and "Jeff" Gilbert each made Eta Kappa Nu this Spring and "Art" is likewise elected to Tau Beta Pi. "Pete" Sherwood made Eta Kappa Nu this Spring and is elected to Tau Beta Pi. And Brother George Fortune rated Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity. Along with these honoraries we find that "Jack" Robinson is entertaining the Harlequin Show goers with l1is fancy dancing, and "Cliff" Markley, a member of Phi chapter in Tulsa, is also demonstrating his ability as an actor. Brother Hiatt was made subscription manager of the Purdue Engineer.

In connection with our building project, great credit is due to our faculty members: Prof. T . .J. Starker, and Dr. N. H. Cornish, who are giving much of their time in rounding out the plans.

Prof. Starker will undertake the actual building of our new home. Robert Peacock and Howard Davis, Archon and Manager respectiv ly, are also performing admirably in getting the project under way.

Alpha Zeta's new home will shelter a substantial number of athletes of proven ability. Frank Little, who won his numerals as Freshman fullback, is one of the best backfield men ever to enter Oregon State. Ruff Dunn also easily earned his

The purpose of the mothers clubs is to interest and acquaint mothers of Pi Kappa Phi's with the work and ideals of the chapter.

Brother George S. Coulter of Jacksonville, conceived the idea of the mother's club and haS worked wholeheartedly with members of the Alpha Epsilon mother's club committee in establishing the initial club.

Since the last edition of the Star and LamP' a general student body election placed two roelll' hers of Alpha Epsilon in office. Brother LaW' renee Walrath, chapter treasurer, was elected to the Honor Court and is slated to become chancel· lor, and Brother Carey Thomas, chapter secretarY, was voted a member of the Athletic Council.

Brothers Walrath and Thomas have also had otl1er honors conferred upon them as they were recently initiated members of Blue Key, national honorary leadership fraternity. Brother KerJllit Black was also extended a bid to Blue Key. Brother Carey Thomas was recently initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, national honorary profes· sional fraternity. Brother Thomas more recentlY was elected to an office in the local Sigma Delta Chi cl1apter.

They were Brothers Hoyle, Powell, Glenn, and Gl10lson, as shown in the accompanying snapshot. Brother Powell is another Pi Kappa transfer coming to us from Epsilon.

Four Brothers Passing N. C. Bar

Kappa boasts of several brothers who take an active part in the athletic realm of the University.

Brothers wearing tl1e University of North Carolina monogram are: Brown, Rand, Gholson, Perkins, Gilbreath, and Glenn. Brothers P erkins and Gholson received their letters in th e gym. Brother P erkins was an instructor in 1926-2 7-28, and Brother Gholson is the present Freshman instructor.

Playing their first varsity football this year, Brothers "Red" Gilbreath and Theron Brown showed up exceptionally well. "Red" hails from Wichita Falls, Texas. While at the University of Oklahoma in the Fall of 1928, "Red," with a friend, had a hunch they wanted to come East.

So this is where he finally landed. Theron is not only gifted with football prowess but in addition is the most outstanding weight man of the Carolina Track team. In the first track meet of the year Brother Brown was high score man.

Brother Glenn received his monogram two years ago. At that time he was man~ger of track, president of the Y. M. C. A., member of the Grail, and of the Senior Order of Golden Fleece.

The most outstanding man on the Carolina Track team, without question, is Brother Charlie Farmer. Charlie is only a Sophomore, and as his achievements are in a Spring sport, he does not as yet wear the U. N. C. monogram. In the Southern Conference Charlie has perhaps the brightest future of all track men, he has already broken several Carolina, State and Southern Conference records unofficially.

In a recent track meet with Georgia Tech, Charlie easily captured first place in the 100 and 220 yards events. His opposition in these events consisted of Ed Hamm, holder of the Southern Conference records and world's champion broad jumper.

For the past few weeks the campus has beell sizzling with politics, in which Kappa 路 took all active part. These elections marked the )]lost dramatic and fervent political campaign ever staged before on the campus of the University of North Carolina. Both men run by Kappa were elected to their respective offices. Theron BroWil was elected president of the rising Junior ClaSS路 Pledge Harper Barnes will represent the rising Sophomore Class on the student council througb his victory.

We are also hoping to capture intra-)Jlural honors in baseball this Spring. This champion' ship was won by Kappa in 1927, and we ha''e already won the first game of this season.

We had the pleasure of having with us fo~ dinner the other night Brother William Olsen an wife of the University faculty.

were: Kenneth Eldred, Paul Potter, Ronald Smith, and Robert Titus. After an enjoyable week for the new members made possible by the initiation committee, all attended a three-course banquet at the Union Building. H ere Brother Bellinger acted as toastmaster, Brother Albe Munson gave the welcoming speech, and Paul Potter, one of our new members, responded. The charge was read by our chapter adviser, Brother E. D. Clifford.

Our Winter term formal was the talk of the campus and one of the highlights of the season's social activities at Michigan State. We're starting th e Spring term off right with an open house April 19. But all of these parties and dances don't keep us from cracking a textbook once in a while, and as proof of the fact, Brothers Dearing, Hurd, D avenport, Wangeman, Coss, and Titus made the honor roll last term.

Brother "Jumbo" Kahl continues to win baseball games for M. S. C., his latest victims having been the University of Cincinnati and the University of Chicago, while Brother Crooks is out for varsity football practice this Spring. Brother H endee won his varsity award in track last week when he hurled the javelin to win first place in a dual meet with the University of D etroit, while Brother Fields was winning his letter in the pole vault at the same meet.

After a stiff battle at th e all-college polls, Vic lteefer succeeds Brother Davenport as business manager of the Michigan Agriculturist which Brother Hurd has edited during the past year.

Brother Hurd is also presid ent of Alpha Zeta, honorary agricultural fraternity, editor of our own Stater, and is slated to be editor of the 1-Volverine, our college yearbook, next year.

Brother Jim Aldrich is now official wielder of the baton for our famous military band, and with two more years of experience ahead, promises to become a professional before he has finished.

Our annual Alumni party, Alpha Theta's brilliant climax to the school year, will be held as an "off-campus" dinner dance at the Robinson " T ee-Off," Charlotte, June 21.
