N 0 room is attractive without the warmth gained through the pleasing selection and arrangement of draperies and ornaments.

life is complete without its essential decoration-sentiment. IN this Yuletide, a time of least inhibition, let all Pi Kapps everywhere express by word or deed the full affection held for each other, for kin, for mankind.

THE editors join in wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas and an enjoyable, successful New Year.

Under the Students Lamp

Eight Members oF the Fraternity Receive Scholarship Pendants

By DR. WILL E. EDINGTON

HE list of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930 was announced in the October number of the Star and Lamp. As in the past years, this group is composed of men who are not only scholars but also prominent in extra-curricular activities. HowÂˇ ever, the awards are made purely for high scholarship and are not influenced in any way by the \vinners' prominence otherwise, for these facts become known to the Committee on Scholarship only after the list of Scholars has been determined. The group of Scholars for 1930 is the largest of the four groups to be so honored and lacks just one of the maximum number of nine who may receive this award in any one year. Also this group is unique in that it represents nine chapters. Three Scholars of the group have held membership in two chapters, and two other chapters are each represented by two Scholars. The award of the scholarship pendant to these Scholars was made on Founders' Day, December 10, and also a handsome certificate announcing the right of the winner to the award was presented to each Scholar and to each chapter represented by a Scholar. It is hoped that these certificates of award \Viii be treasured by the chapters and will find a place among the other trophies in the chapter rooms. Following are statements of the records of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930:

Ceci l M. Hefner Cecil M. Hefner was initiated into Xi chapter but transferred to Iota chapter at Georgia Tech in the fall of 1927, and he is the first representative of both of these chapters among the Scholars of Pi Kappa Phi. That Hefner stands high in scholarship is evident from the fact that he was on the Bonar Roll in his three years at Georgia Tech, and that he was chosen for membership in Tau Kappa

Alpha, honorary oratory and debating society, and Tau Beta Pi, the leading honorary engineering society. He was president of the local chapter of the latter society. Being an engineer, he was also a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In fraternity affairs he was also prominent, being archon of Iota Chapter and a member of the interfraternity council. Hefner was a member of the Georgia Tech band and the Marionettes, and he also found time to participate in the activities of the Oil Can Club and the Free Body Club, of which he was Secretary.

William C. Davis, Jr. William C. Davis, Jr., is Omicron Chapter's first representative and he also represents Alpha Eta Chapter, for be spent two years at Howard College before going to the University of Alabama. At Howard College Brother Davis was active in dramatic and literary work and held membership in the Allied Arts Club and Sigma Upsilon, honorary literary fraternity. He was also historian of Alpha Eta chapter. At the University of Alabama he continued his dramatic and literary work as a member of the Blackfriars, the university dramatic club, and as a member of the staff of the Corolla, the university annual. Davis was also national president of Rho Alpha Mu, pre-law fraternity. He was also alumni secretary of Omicron chapter. On account of his excellence in scholarship Brother Davis was awarded a fellowship in the department of history at the University of Alabama.

James B. Ho lman, Jr. James B. Holman, Jr., is the third Scholar to be associated with two chapters. He was initiated into Rho chapter at Washington and Lee and while there was a member of Alpha Sigma, Freshman honorary English fraternity. He entered the University of

f31

THE STAR AND LA~

South Carolina in 1928 and is now representing both Sigma and Rho chapters as their first Scholar. At South Carolina he held membership in Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraternity, and the Grill, German and Cotillion Clubs. In recognition of his excellent scholarship record, Holman received the Hutchison Scholarship in Economics at the University of South Carolina, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and became an instructor in the school of commerce.

Silas G. Weinberg Silas G. Weinberg, Upsilon chapter's first Scholar, gra duated in June, 1930, in architectural engineering with hi gh honors. On account of high scholarship he received recognition on Honors Day durin g hi s last three years at the University of Illinois, and he was elected to mf"lmbership in Gargoyle, honorary architectural fratewity. Weinberg was unusually active in militar y work and was a cadet major in the engineering bran ch of the R. 0. T. C., and his name was placed on the 1930 R. 0. T. C. Honor Tabl et. He also is a member of Tau Nu T au, military fraternity. He served as chairm an of the Y. M. C. A. Fellowship Committee in 1928, and as a member of the Memorial Drive Committee in 1930. Brother Weinberg's present address is the Hyde P ark Y. M. C. A., Chicago, Ill.

neers. Sherwood served on the editorial staff of the Purdue Engineer for two years and was Junior Editor last year. He was historian of Omega chap· ter last year.

Maynard L. Pennell Maynard L. Pennell bears the distinction of being one of Alpha Delta's first two Scholars, and its first to be chosen in his Junior year. Brother P ennell has been unu sually active in student affairs at the University of Washington where he has served as a member of the Student Council, of the Committee for the memorial Arch and the Community Fund Committee. He is also on the board of directors of the Japan Society. He served two year as chairman of the membership committee of the Y. M. C. A. and is president of the university Y. M. C. A. thi s year. In athl etics P ennell received hi s num erals as a mem· her of the Freshman crew, and for the past two years he has been a member of the varsity lightwei ght crew. His excellence in scholarship has been achi eved in the fi eld of aeronautical engin eering.

Victor B. Scheffer

Victor B. Scheffer is Alpha Delta's other Scholar for 1930. He gra du a ted with the Bachelor of Science degree la t August with Zoology as his maj or sub· ject. Brother Scheffer was honored with membership in Phi Sigma, Biology honorary society, and Sigma Arlhur H. Bostater Xi , the lea ding scientific honorary society. In Arthur H. Bosta ter is one of th e two Scholars athletics he was second in intramural boxing and who repre en t Omega in 1930.

ACTUAL football has now given way to post· .t\_ season discussions of " might-have beens," Prospects of the next season, talk of the Christmas holidays, recovery in the economi c cycle. King Foothall has abdicated in a blaze of glory, leaving behind fame-possibly fortun e-bruises and broken bon es, disappointed hopes, and in some laps a mythical conference crown. From coast to coast Pi Kapps are doing the one or may be found among the latter classifi cations; therefore it is timely to join in the discussion s and recognize those men of the organiZation who have helped to make the great American game the more brilliant and appea ling, as stars of the first magnitude, as members of the " B" teams Preparing the regulars for their best performance, or as freshmen laying foundation s for future great· lless. The irksome drubbing has been accepted with equanimity, victory and defeat have been met with the best of sportsmanship. Valia nos winning the big "C" of th e Golden Bears of California, Skokos wearing the red uniform of Cornell, Squires fighting for the coast champion· ship with th e University of Washington, Cherry and Jenkins of Florida disappointed over th e end of the

season without an S. C. p ennant, and within these boundaries hundreds of other Pi Kapps participating-gives a comprehensive and inspiring background to the details of a pi cture that is most interesting. Eight cap tain cies fell to th e lot of Pi Kapps: Stout of North Carolina State; Taylor, alternate, of Auburn; Gantier of Stetson; Williams of Roanoke; Maffett of Georgia; Gressette of South Carolina; Jackson, alternate, of Wofford; and Herrin of Oglethorpe. In the brighter part of the limelight because of their positions, tHese men performed in an unfaltering way, became the delight of the public and the press, and in all ways fulfilled their destiny.

Two Ends at Sigma Correspondent Bolt of Sigma Chapter (South Carolina) writes as follows concerning the chapter football activities: -Maybe history doesn' t repeat itself, but there is another Gressette cap tain of the University of South Carolina football team. This is none othe1 than Brother Bob Gressette of Sigma Chapter. There have been four other Gressettes who were Pi

I<apps and played football for Carolina. There has ?een a Gressette playing for Carolina so long that It is taken just as a matter of fact, like the long growth of beard commonly seen on the Smith Brothers, cough drop kings. So Bob was just obliged 10 come across with the goods-and he has done that and more. Bob has played the position of right end since he has been at Carolina. Last season he helped materially in many of the victories that we lYon, and this year as captain he has become an even lllore determining factor. He plays a stubborn, defensive game, smears many of the opponents' plays, and never fails to get his man when he tackles one. On the offense he has repeatedly shown that he can charge and block as well as the best. In the Georgia l'ech game this year it seemed that Bob was in every Play regardless of what type of play was attempted. l'he radio announcer got wind of this and cleverly dubbed him the "omnipresent Gressette." It would appear that Coach Alexander was not unmindful of ~he situation either, in view of the statement he made In an Atlanta paper. He said that Gressette was about the best end that he had come in contact with had observed recently. This constitutes a very lgh compliment when one considers the big teams :ech has played and the weight that a statement of 'llexander's will carry. -So much for Bob's football playing, but he has lllany other honors to his credit. He has had many offices in Sigma Chapter. Last year he was secretary of the Student Body, the highest honor that a Junior can gain, and in addition to this he was on the Panhellenic Council. He has always been an excellent Student and has materially boosted the chapter's

scholarship rating. This year he is vice-president of the German Club and a member of several social clubs. He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity, which is one of the largest honors on the campus. Taken all around Brother Bob Gressette is a fine sort of fellow and the kind of which Sigma Chapter can be proud. -In addition to Captain Bob Gressette, we have several other men playing football who belong to Sigma Chapter. Frank Bostick made his letter last year as a Sophomore, and he played hard, clean football as a member of the regular squad. This year he was in every game and was one of the best fast-driving ends on the Gamecock team in all of these. Very soon he will change his love for football for his favorite sport, which is track. We are sure that Brother Bostick will again make varsity, and we hope he will be able to join the boys again next fall. In the meantime he must fill his duties as captain of the track team. He was last season, as a sophomore, the high scorer in several meets, and he holds the state record for the high jump. This is his second year as a member at large of the Honor Committee, and he is one of the most popular men on the campus.

The Sixth Gressette -We have two pledges on the freshman football squad. These are Earl Clary and Tully Gressette. Earl is the brother of Ike Clary who was a star while at Furman and who is now a member of our chapter at Carolina. Earl made all-Southern halfback while playing for Gaffney, S. C., high school last year and it looks as if he will continue that

brilliant record in college. He has scored eleven touchdowns and innumerable points for goal in only three games this year. Tully Gressette is the brother of Bob who is captain of the varsity team. He is the sixth of the line of Gressettes and bids fair to fill his brother's shoes at the end position. He is a fine pledge and we look for big things from him later as a member of the varsity Gamecock team.

Outstanding Linemen at Kappa In the following, Correspondents Kurfees and Daniel tell of the men that make football hi story at the University of Carolin a: -Kappa considers herself fortunate in having on the Tar Heel football team this year two of the most outstanding lin emen. These are Brothers John " Red" U. Gilbreath and Th eron R. Brown. Both boys are counted on to come across with the old punch to aid in cinching the State title. "Red" plays secon d to none in hi s center position and has con tinually put himself in the lim elight regardless of the stiff opposition he has encountered. He weighs 185 lbs. and stands 6 ft. That hard punch of his must be du e to hi s Texas origin. In the year 1928 he was captain of the high school team at Wichita Fall s, Texas. Gilbreath and his running mate, Lipscombe, make up a unit that is considered to be the strongest in the Southern Conference . "Red" is also a member of th e track team who participates in the weight events.

- Theron , who, by the way, is president of ~he 1 Junior Class, has steadily held right end positi?: 11 on the team this year and isn't thinking about g f â&#x20AC;˘ 1 ing it up any time soon either. He stands 6 " 1 in ch and tips the scale at 180 lbs. Brown's clear hea d work along with hi s adaptiveness for runnJnr 911 and ability to snag passes has brought more th one tally for his team. Hailing from Greensbor~Âˇ N. C., Th eron was captain of the high school team.'i; 1928 and made all-state tackle for two years wh~ , there. Then there is somethin g of his track abi hll to be noticed.

Ritz of Pi Chapter writes: - The chapter was well represented on the gridiron this fall, having nine on the varsity squad and eight on the freshman squad. - Claude Herrin, captain of the varsity and triple-threat backfield star, was seriously injured in the early fall practice, which forced him out of the game for the entire season. The loss of this speedy little hack was greatly felt as he was Oglethorpe's most consistent ground-gainer in 1929. These injuries will probably prevent his playing basketball the coming season as well. However, it is believed that he will he in shape for baseball this spring. His being elected captain of these three teams is an honor seldom conferred on one man. - Others on the squad who proved their worth are: Andy Morrow, veteran center, who was the mainstay of the line; Tanky Anderson, a quarter, who made a great reputatiorr for himself by his superb punting and elu sive hips-he fills the position vacated by Herrin; Billy 1ames, another quarter; Nammie Raines, half; George Gi lli ard, fullback; Sam Jones, end; Poolie Kadel, center; and John Bitting, half. -The men who represented Pi on the freshman squad were: Richards, Buchanan, Davis, Hildreth, ' - - - ' = = Shouse, Walker, Kemp and Moss.Bostic!;Jigma [ 9 1

THE STAR AND LA~

Xi Men Prominent -Although Xi cannot boast of an entire football aggregation as she could in '29, she still retains that gridiron prominence which for the past decade has been her most prized possession. The current season witnessed not only the promotion of Brother White to Head Coach, but also the selection of Billy Williams as football captain. Under the leadership of these two loyal brothers, Roanoke College football has acquired an entirely different aspect. One can visualize in this year's team an aggressiveness, a smoothness and a brand of deceptive football unknown to Roanoke followers. -Coach White's rise to head coach has been nothing short of phenomenal. He was in charge . of freshman athletics for three years and had such an admirable record in that capacity that when our endeared Pinkey Sprughan decided to leave last spring, Pap was immediately given the position. -Captain Billy Williams hails from Savannah, Ga., where he saw four years of service on the high school team. He is playing quarterback this . year but was used as a half-back previous to this year. He is a parti cularly good broken field runner and an accurate passer. He also plays basketball and baseball, having captained the former team last year. - Captain Williams is accompanied in the regular backfield by Brothers Ramsey and Rutherford, two seasoned veterans. This triumvirate has been responsible for the brunt of the offense shown by this

year's team. Rutherford is a deceptive and hard· driving back, while Ramsey is particularly adept at punting. 1 -Buzzy Goode is playing his fourth and fi~a season on the varsity and seems to have been saving his best till last. The brand of football shown by him this fall stamps him as one of the grea~est tackles in Roanoke history.

-Lorin King's claim to honor in Wolford's hall of fame rests on the clean, fine sportsmanship that he has exhibited during his three years as tackle on the varsity eleven.

- Possibly the outstanding feature of the neW house is its extreme roominess. Each room for stu· dent purposes is unusually large and airy and pos· sesses a large clothes closet and storing shelves. The house will comfortably accommodate approximately forty-five men. Another feature is the advantageous space that can be utilized for fraternity dances. -The new house will compare most favorably with all fraternity houses on the University of Okla· homa campus. - Dr. J.

-A deep sense of anxiety and eager anticipation was felt by the members of Alpha Zeta last surn· mer, when they passed the chapter doors to descend into the laxity of summer vacation. The older men showed the greatest concern; beneath the conquering countenances of the Seniors a deep interest dwelled; an interest ingrained by four years of college with Pi Kappa Phi. For many years earnest hands had toiled, and diligent minds had planned to make possible this undertaking. The rattle and hiss of a steam shovel, the smell of fresh dirt, and men huddled over blueprints foretold the construction of the long-awaited new chapter house. These be· ginnings made an impression on the departing men, and they looked forward to returning and the reali· zation of a dream. And those who took a prolonged leave and may never see the new house found satis· faction in the surety that an actual start had been made; just as the savage who has seen the break of dawn is certain of the day. -With the last vestiges of summer, the Alpha Zeta brothers abandoned their work and travels, and once more turned their thoughts and footsteps toward college. After a long and tedious journey, the large, burnt-grey colonial structure loomed up like a mirage; and was approached with the suspi· cion of a desert traveller. But the warm clasp of brothers' hands and the clamor of welcoming voices on the threshold gave assurance that this beautiful sight would not vanish. It was truly a dream corne true. -As the photograph reveals, the idea is colonial, and the furniture and interior fixtures were selected accordingly. One of the outstanding features is the [ 14]

Endowment Fund

• • •

$61.01

Perhaps you have noted this statement in the ) financial reports of the Fraternity. In this article Supreme Editor Young tells of the initial donation. The remainder came from an unattached surplus.

F th ere was ever a fraternity which possessed a firm, strong foundation on which to build an endowmen t fund it is Pi Kappa Phi. For nearly ten years, th ere has appeared in the audit of th e fraternity's funds an account li sted as "endowment fund." It has been shown as havin g $50. While that amount in the measure of worldly goods is small, the wealth of its spirit and the gratitud e of its donor are boundless and should be an incentive for the raising of a superstru cture th at will bring untold benefits to others travelin g along th e pathway lighted by the Star and Lamp. And through the e lon g years, when the endowment fund has often been di cussed, longed for, and desired, this small sum has rested in th e money of the fraternity and has stood out as the forerunner of a grea t endowm ent which is surely to come. Shortly after the death of Jasper O'Connell , Epsilon , ' 15, I received a letter from hi s sister. It contain ed a check for $50. The contents of that letter were burned upon my remembrance and as long as I shall live I do not believe I shall ever forget. " Here is a check, which Jack wanted his fraterni 'Y to have," it read. " He made it out but he died before it was sent, and so I am sending it for him. He thought so much of his associations in his frat ernity that he wanted to show in a mea ure hi s gratitude for the fraternity that gave so much to him." Roy J. Heffn er, then supreme archon of the fra ternity, when learning of Brother O'Connell's gift, decreed that it should be placed in the permanent endowment fund of the fraternity becau se " the spirit of the gift more nearly accords with the spirit in which gifts to the endowment fund will be made." Behind that gift, even though small , is the pi cture of loyalty and gratitude, which should be an in spiration to us today and which should be an impelling force for Pi Kappa Phi to resolve that Jack O'Connell 's gift shall not be in vain and instead shall be made into a fa tor that will lift Pi Kappa Phi's service to a still higher plane and make it possible for deserving brothers to be helped and struggling chapters to be encouraged. May it be a beacon light

that will point us to larger fields of service and send a gleam into the minds and consciousness of Pi Kapps everywhere that here was a brother who was not unmindful of what Pi Kappa Phi had meant to him and that as he has done so shall we do like· wise. J ac!< O'Connell was a member of old Epsilon, back in its halcyon days at Davidson. He was of the class of 1915 and after his graduation went to Ra leigh, . C., where he was engaged in the insur· ance bu siness. When America entered the World War, he volunteered for service and was a member of. th e Seventh Anti-Aircraft Battery, C. A. C., land· ing in France in June, 1918, and returning March 8, 1919. He was discharged at Camp Lee, Va., March 25, 1919. Shortly thereafter he fell a victim of the dread White Plague and for the next two years waged the fight of a goo d soldier; but in the end was forced to bow before the Grim Reaper. He died at Ashe· ville, N. C., July 9, 1921, and was buried at Char· lotte, N. C., his home. From the pages of the Star and Lamp of Oc'tober, 1921, we taking the following: "Jack O'Connell is dead yet hi s spirit lives on and is an incentive to nobler living. Others have and may present larger gifts to the fraternity yet none can reach the height, the depth , the breadth of the spirit of gratitude of the gift of Jack O'Connell-gentleman, friend , brother." Isn't this a challenge to us, i n't this an inspira· tion for us? Steeped in the tradition of such !I noble and exemplary gift, our endowment fund ought to blossom into a great influence for goodIt surely has the foundation. Will we build oli tha t foundation?

in the mood for a lengthy night bull session. And that's when they corner Lyman Edward, bring him down to the sun-room hangout, light a few fags, and lend all ears in hearing Lyman word-paint experiences he has had in fifteen foreign countries. And Edwards has a vivid enough background to keep Pi Kapps listening almost until an Oklahoma dawn tints the big white columns of Alpha Gamma's colonial porch. It's a mixture of naval officer, radio wizard and globe-trotter that makes Edwards interesting. Lyman received his commission as chief petty officer in the United States naval reserve, communication division, the past summer, following a Central American cruise on the U. S. S. Maury for service training. He is reputed to be the youngest radio operator ever to receive a commercial license from the United States Department of Commerce, and was informed during the past summer that he had made a perfect grade on his test at Chicago for a third renewal of his license. Lyman became interested in radio while yet in grade school, but his amateur activities were hamPered by the World War, during which the government took control of all broadcasting stations and Put a silencer on ambitious beginners. After the [ 17

war, however, he made a study of radio, making several home-made sets which led to an amateur license as early as 1919, and won for him national praise for his success in sending and receiving messages from distant points. In 1924., he attended the Dodge Radio School in Chicago; and in 1927, while a student at the University of Oklahoma, he won a scholarship to the Loomis Engineering College, Washington, D. C. Upon his graduation he was selected as one of five to accompany a government geological party to South America, sailing on the S.S. Amazon. The party spent from February to September, 1928, in South America. · Through his wizardry at radio communication, Lyman has served as radio operator on a half dozen or more steamships which took him to fifteen foreign countries, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, the three Guianas, Cozmel Island and the French Leper colony off the coast of French Guiana. He has served in the capacity of radio operator at two nationally known land stations, WDD, Detroit, and WLC, Rober City, Mich. , which directed by radio practically all of the traffic of the Great Lakes. (Continued on page . .)

THE STAR AND LAMP

During the term of his lake service, Brother Edwards was operator on the S.S. White, S.S. Taylor, S.S. Munson, freight and cargo carriers on the lakes, and the passenger ship, " Christopher Columbus," an excursion boat plying between Chicago and Milwaukee. In October, 1929, Lyman was one of the two Oklahomans who successfully completed examinations for government commissions as first class radio men with the United States naval reserves. As a resu It he was chosen by the government to make a Central American cruise on the U.S.S. Maury which combined his previous naval service with enough advanced training to gain him the chief petty officer's commission. Those Edwards tales that Pi Kapps get a relish out of are crammed full of wild animal and jungle sketches, South American parties, dances, gondola rides, and serenades with true Spanish accents and hue. One of the stories the Alpha Gam boys like most is one concerning Lyman's experience while working for the British Royal Oil Company, in charge of radio communications on a geological survey with the McCollum Geological company in Venezuela. Says Brother Edwards: "On May 19, 1928, our unit, one of twelve of three men each, started into the jungle, only to be brought up short when D. S. Basim and G. R. Shepherd, who were with me, contracted jungle fever the first day out. Using the short wave, I was able to radio to Maracaibo for quinine and serum." Then Lyman goes on into the details of the story, details of facing the jungle alone ,with his two companions dangerously ill, jungle nights with roving beasts in the lurid darkness, nights with the sole responsibility of caring for two comrades stricken with the dread fever; and then finally a dot in the southern skies, a company airplane bringing the lifegiving serum and quinine in answer to the radio message. Then, unless Pi Kapps want to save some of the stories for other times, Lyman will tell of the Spanish senoritas, ocean voyages, locating of oil areas by radio transmission, tropic storms, and quaint foreign customs. Maybe he'll tell the story about the time he shot charging alligators just as they attacked members of the party, and about the time the entire crew became lost in the jungle and wandered about for three days with no possible sustenance except wild tropical berries. Edwards is national president of Alpha Delta Sigma, national radio fraternity, founded at the

University of Oklahoma in 1921, with chapters in many leading universities and colleges throughout the nation. Electrical engineering and its relation to the dynamical phase of geology is his work, radio is his hobby, and travel is his enjoyment. He has stuffed all three into the last five years of his life, and he is only 21- just getting started well. Edwards will receive his bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Oklahoma in the spring commencement. He will go to work with the McCollum geophysical company of Philadelphia, a company specializing in making oil and mineral tests for governments and private corporations. In accepting his position, he turned down an oppor· tunity to qualify for a position as radio inspector with the United States department of commerce.

YOUR VACATION

ERHAPS it is a little early to begin planning your vacaton next .1\ugust. However, it might be well to let your mind drift to thoughts of happY days. That is what you will 'have in Detroit if you attend the next Pi Kapp conclave. Detroit is renowned the world around. No city offers more than this 'Michigan city does. It is not only a great automobile ~anufacturing center, 1 but it is a great playgrouti d as well. o. Here you will find everything that you desire to make your vaca· tion a happy one. So why not begin to think about it? Our national conventions have heretofore been held at Christ· mas time, but this year the conclave will be during the month of August-just the time most of us will be taking a vacation. Th~s change was made to afford more of our members an opportunity to attend the convention during vacation time. Perhaps you have never attended a Pi Kapp con· vention? If you haven' t you have a treat in store for you. Think of it-bringing back those happY college days-seeing the old gang again. It is hoped to make the Detroit convention the biggest and best yet. Won't you do your part to make it a success. You can do that if you will begin now to plan your vacation. Plan to visit Detroit. Talk it to all Pi Kapps you see or meet- and write those of the old gang who you would like to meet there. Plan a reunion. Detroit welcomes you-expects you.

Joyce, Omicron, whose death sounded a note of sadness throughout the realm of Pi Kappa Phi, might well be encased in more ostentatious language. However, it is a deep-seated conviction of the \Vriter that "Red," with his penchant for directness and aversion to ostentation, would have liked just that-and little more-said about him after his death. ''Red," in his schoo l activities, wrote a guide hook, the lines of which might well be followed closely by ambitious undergraduates. His is a record studded with achievement gained through continuous effort, intelligently and systematically applied. To the University of Alabama, he brought a deep love for athletics, nurtured through his high school days, Virtually ru led out of actual play by his 8 tnall stature, "Red" trained his talents on mana· gerial duties. His success was concretely portrayed to the campus in his last year of school, when he [ 19]

won a letter as manager of the Crimson Tide, of far-Aung football fame. Other activities stand as pillars for the assertion that the gridiron and gymnasium did not usurp all of "Red's" time. He was here, there, everywhere on the campus. In military, he was cadet major of the second bat· talion, the highest command in the coast artillery branch of Alabama's R. 0. T. C. Jason's, an organi· zation of young men chosen for outstanding leader· ship in student affairs, carried his name in its list of membership. The same qualities which pushed him to the front rank outside, followed him across the threshold of the classroom, where his sharp mind plunged directly to the center of questions under discussion. Take these attributes and mix them with a general campus popularity-among both students and fac· ulty members-and you have something of the man "Red" Joyce. None can dispute he did more than his share in lifting the prestige of Pi Kappa Phi at Alabama during the trying years when the organization was shedding the stigma of a young, local organization and emerging as a national chapter of the first water.

Varied Program Enjoyed By New York Alumni By GEORGE E. FERGUSON, Archon, New York Alumni

N Wednesday evening, November 19th, at the chapter house of Alpha Xi chapter, thirtyeight alumni representing Pi Kapp chapters from the North, West and South met together with several members of the active chapter of Alpha Xi and held a regular New York alumni meeting. A. W. Meisel, District Archon for District l, gave a very interesting talk on the present status of the expansion program of the fraternity and stressed the need of cooperation of all the brothers, both active as well as alumni, with the expansion committee. W. A. Berry reported for the committee appointed to award the silver cup for scholarship competition between P si chapter, Alpha Mu chapter and Alpha Xi chapter, which at present constitute District l. Brother Berry said that final report on the award of this cup wou ld not be announced until the Christmas dinner, which always is a great gathering of Alpha Xi and alumni and which takes place genera lly around the middle of December. Berry reported that the committee had not as yet been able to satis-

factorily tabu late and evaluate the standings of the men in the three chapters mentioned and that the job was rather involved and required considerable time and effort. A serious discussion among the alumni as to their relation to active chapter matters in particular, and to fraternity in general, ensued. Cards were given to each alumnus present with the request that he write his name, address, and chapter name thereon and also specify on the same if he would be willing to be ca lled on to form a com路 mittee with three or four other alumni to visit the active chapter of Alpha Xi at one of their regular meetings. A most hearty and whole-souled affirma路 tive response met this request and the secretary was instructed to form alumni teams, notifying them in advance, to visit the active chapter and take part with at least a few words in the meeting. (Continued on page 23)

Tragic Fate is Dealt to Charles McElroy S. C., for the purpose of purchasing a package of cigarettes, Charles "Red" McElroy, Rho '30, kicked the taut string attached to a double-barreled shotgun and received in his chest a portion of the discharge. Without speaking, he left the station and climbed, unassisted, into the car in which with companions he had driven up to the station. They hastened to Pageland only to have him expire shortly after reaching the town. The owner of the station stated that he warned McElroy about the trapgun , which was set because of numerous robberies of the station, but the engineering companions of the man, who remained seated in the automobile, aver that they heard no warning given. Charlie graduated from the engineering school of Washington and Lee University last June, and at the time of the accident was a member of the personnel of the State Highway Department of South [ 20

Carolina, on duty in road construction. He is the son of Hiram McElroy, prominent engineer of Tampa, Fla. It was while the father was engaged in assisting in the dredging of the Panama Canal that "Red" was born in Panama. He had often worked with his father in Tampa in subdivision and drainage work. No member of Rho Chapter ever enjoyed greater esteem and affection of his mates than Charles. This extended to the entire campus, where McElroY was well-known and very popular. Thus it was that his sudden death came as a parlyzing blow to both chapter and university. To youth death is intangible; although the men of the chapter know he has gone on the long ad路 venture, it is not readily realizable, and the memorY of Charlie's happy and friendly disposition, his frank and charming manners, helps to avoid the full realization with its deeper sorrow.

New Edition of Songbook and New Songs Score Big Hit

HE new songs presented to the fraternity for the first time in the recently published songhook are fast finding favor with Pi Kapps everywhere. The composers have received words of praise from all sides and the Central Office has been Aooded with letters complimenting the fraternity on the new songs and the make-up of the recent edition of the songbook. The words of praise are well deserved, for it is indeed a splendid piece of work and those who have contributed to it should be congratulated. The book contains all of the old favorites that have been so popular with all Pi Kapps as well as many additional songs that are now available to the members of the fraternity for the first time. Foremost among these are the prize winning songs of the recent song contest. It is our prediction that the blue ribbon song of the contest, "I'm Longing for Pi Kappa Phi," will soon nose ahead of the old favorites and become the most popular of the compositions. It fills the long-felt need for a good snappy fox-trot and should prove popular on the dance Aoor as well as in the chapter houses. It is the work of Richard Lieurance, brother of the famous Thurlow. Permission has been granted to Sigma Delta Kappa, legal fraternity, to use this song in their new songbook which they are now compiling for they have men from all of the leading social [ 21]

fraternities in their order, and wish to include in their book the best songs from these fraternities. Another new song whose popularity is assured is "My Pi Kappa Phi Pal'," which won second prize for Howard Upchurch. The worth of "The Land Where Good Fellowship Reigns" has been proven by the high esteem with which all Alpha Xi men regard it, and this number is now given by them to all of the chapters. "Dream of Pi Kappa Phi," " Hymn to Pi Kappa Phi" and "My Pi Kappa Phi Red Rose" are all unusually good and help to make the songbook a success. The songbook makes a good appearance and is a fittin g companion for the History and Directory. The colors of the fraternity are carried out with a blue cloth cover bearing the title and fraternity coatof-arms in gold. The book contains thirty-three fraternity songs in a total of sixty-four pages. The first three pages carry the pictures of the composers. At last we have a fraternity songbook that any Pi Kapp will be happy to possess and be proud to give to " the one an d only girl." It will compare favorably with the songbook of any other fraternity and will need no apology, no matter how keen the comparison or how critical the judge. These are priced at $1.50 a copy and may be obtained through the Central Office.

He is one of those tackles toward whom so many of the plays of the day are directed. Charles Underwood, member of Alpha Pi and wearer of the Sewanee purple, alternated between the positions of full and half during the past season, when he played. He is one of the chaps nursing an injured leg. He came to Sewanee with three years of prep ball behind him, in which time he played half on an undefeated team. Mu Chapter had three men assisting the Duke Blue Devils in recording one of the best seasons the tobacco men ever had: Bryan playing the position

of guard; Brownlee and Young, substitute halfbacks. Bryan also makes a few journeys and continues competition out of football season as a member of the boxing and wrestling teams. Beta Chapter was well represented on the gridiron in the persons of Barrett, an outstanding back; Pinson and Nettles at end, and Adams at center. Nu Chapter thinks highly of Wayne Bly and expects many things of him next season. He was ineligible to play this year. Charles McEuen journey to Illinois with two captaincies behind him- his high school and junior college teams. In the latter instance he led a conference championship team. On the fighting Illini team he is a varsity center. A running mate in Upsilon Chapter is Joseph Ondrus, who played a regular guard position on the "B" team.

Correspondent Montgomery writes concerning him: -Carrol Welshinger has added more glory to the history of Pi Kappa Phi and to Chi Chapter in particular, for this year he has been named coach of the freshman team; and we are proud to say that his team is having a very brilliant season. Last year Wel shinger was assistant coach of Stetson's varsity, and prior to that he played three years of varsity football and three years of varsity basketball. During the year 1928-29 he was captain of the varsity basketball team. He has also been very active in track and baseball at Stetson University. D. S.

Archon Weingartner of Alpha Xi reported on the activities of the active chapter and extended a most cordial invitation to the alumni to attend and participate in the active chapter meetings. After the business part of the meeting was finished, the speaker of the evening, Captain John H. Ayers, in charge of the Bureau of Missing Persons, New York City Police Department, gave a most interesting and instructive lecture on the work of his depart· ment in the seemingly almost hopeless task of ascertaining the whereabouts of persons who mysteriously disappear each year in the large city of New York. Captain Ayers, by the way, is a graduate of Hamilton College, class of '88 and is also a member of Psi chap ter of Theta Delta Chi. He preceded his remarks by paying tribute to Hamilton College and greek letter fraternities. Captain Ayers was a most interesting speaker. The meeting then adjourned and the remainder of the time was devoted to acquiring new friendships and renewing old ones, while light refreshments were served. The New York Alumni Chapter is trying to make the alumni count in the development and progress of Pi Kappa Phi and we need help and suggestions which we can put into action-we would be glad to hear of the experiences of the other alumni chapters.

HE goal to which the fraternities are constantly striving at Wofford was reached during the past scholastic year by the brothers of Zeta when the Pan-Hellenic Council announced that they had been awarded the Interfraternity Scholarship Cup on Nov. l. Pi Kapps with a scholastic average of 83.80 were closely followed by the local chapter of Alpha Lambda Tau with an average of 83.01. The award of the cup to Zeta is the first time that this signal honor has come to them. Last year the cup was won by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter. Other fraternities competing against Zeta for this coveted honor were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Alpha Lambda Tau, and Theta Kappa Nu. During the past year while the scholastic average of Pi Kapps was 83.80 the scholastic average of all students was 81.36. The fraternity men of the campus had an average of 81.09, while the non-fraternity men had an average of 81.41. Not only have the brothers of Zeta held up their scholastic standing but they have taken part in more campus activities than ever before. With the pledging of eight freshmen the brothers are busy now carrying on their numerous duties and they are determined to do their best to keep the Scholarship Cup another year.

:an>s of Prominence â&#x20AC;˘ Jones Adds Another Position to His Long and Imposing List

very few men of his age is it a privilege to look back on a life of worthwhile and signal a complishment such as is permitted to District Archon WalLer R. Jones, should he ever, perchance, look to the rear. His career, at one and the arne time, is an in piration and a source of self-recrimination-to the younger men the inspiration, to men of his age the recrimination. He is of the fibre all would like to be, but that is not possible. Since the beginning of the fall term he has been filling the position of Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at Oregon tate College, thus passing on to others the knowledge and experience gained in year of manufacturing and designing aeroplanes.

Walter R. Jones

He was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, July 8, 1900; and in this town received his early education at the Birkenhead Institute. From the Univer ity of Wa hington he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1923, cum laude, and the profes ional degree of Mechanical Engineer in 1928. Jones ha& been actively engaged in the aeronautical industry since 1917. From 1923 to 1929, he was succes ively propeller designer, chief stre s engineer, and airplane designer for one of the largest aircraft con tructors in the country- Boeing. He is designer of a high speed mail plane now being used by the three biggest air mail contractors in the nited States. His present occupations consist of being, besides a professor: President and General Manager, Willis-} ones Machinery Company, Inc.; President, Precision Industries, Inc., and President and Treasurer, Holton Investment Company, Inc. In umming up his many affiliations, we find him a member of the Society of Automotive Engineer -Vice-Chairman, Washington section; Associate member of the U. S. Naval Institute; Member, Round Table (London, England); member of Tau Beta Pi, Honorary Engineering Fraternity; member of Overlake Golf and Country, Seattle Aviation Country, and Washington Athletic Clubs; and an Ensign, U. S. aval Aviation Re erve. His fraternal activities &re as follows: With George Allen Odgers, he carried on n~gotiations which resulted in Chi Up ilon Chi, which became Alpha Delta of Pi Kappa Phi; assisted in the establi hing of Alpha Zeta at Oregon State; and has done much in retaining the fraternity's contact with the Pi Kappa Fraternity of the University of British Columbia, which within a year will formally petition the fraternity for a charter. moted to the second vice-presidency, and thi year at Denver was promoted to first vice-president. Lion Hyer is noted all over the country for his oratorical ability, and for his wit and _kill at repartee and story telling. This has made him a favorite orator at every aatherinab of Lions which it is possible for him to attend. 0 [ 25}

He continues : "As a result of this, the Pulitzer prize has bee!l given to some merely mediocre novels along wiU1 other admirable novels.

Owings of Zeta Possessor of Unusual Number of Honors ' By MARVIN L. HOLLOWAY This report is not a series of eulogies nor is it an autobiographical sketch of the men of Zeta Chapterl but, instead the writer is attempting to show that Wofford Pi Kapps are constantly active. Time after time campus honors have been deservedly won by the wearers of the Star and Lamp. The accompanying picture is that of Alpheus (Jake) Owings. Jake's chief claim to fame lies in the fact that he is president of the Wofford student body, and, I dare say, is getting more support and cooperation than any former holder of said posi· tion. After being elected by such an overwhelming majority, it seems ine;vitable that he shou ld have the whole-hearted support of Wofford students. In addi· tion, he is editor-in-chief of The Bohemian, the col· lege annua l ; and the lights that ~urn in his office at midnight and into the wee hours of the morning reveal that he is working hard; which work will doubtless be rewarded by the assurance that he has published one of the best annuals in the history of our Alma Mater. One watching the Terrier football team practice would see J ake ready to do anything at any time for any player on the squad. No, he is not a doctor, but one of the best managers that has ever carried on the affairs which are entrusted to the manager of a Wofford team. Jake is a member of the International Relations Club, Wofford's only society to honor excellence in

Bcholarship, and also Blue Key, a national honorary leadership fraternity which purposes to draw together in each college or university, in which a chapter is located, the leaders of student life. Owings is a charter member of the Delta Phi Alpha and a member of Sigma Upsilon, national honorary German and literary fraternities respectively. Jake was initiated in the Scabbard and Blade, nation a I honorary military fraternity, a few days ago. This is not a hint for anyone to send him a feather pillow, however, for I think he was sufficiently padded. He is an integral part of the unUsually active Senior Order of Gnomes, the purpose of which is to gather together the most prominent and influential members of the Senior Class and to establish a goal for underclassmen which may be attained only by consecration to those things which tnake students of the highest calibre. Owings wou ld be a credit to any fraternity and a valuabl e asset to any college or university. He is a man who towers above ordinary standards. Bernard Foster was recently elected president of the International Relations Club, a position which carries with it much influence as well as concentrated work. Bernard is also a member of the Blue Key and Sigma Upsilon fraternities. He is business tnanager of The Old Gold and Black, the college \veekly newspaper, and advertising manager of The Bohemian. Bernard's efficiency in debating has won for him a place on the debating team-the team that \von the State debating championship last year. He is, in addition, a member of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity, the purpose of which is to stimu late interest and promote efficiency in intercollegiate oratory and debate. Bernard has recently been elected to membership in the Scabbard and Blade. Joe Hood's scholastic ability as well as his general popularity on the campus has been recognized by his fellow studen ts, and has obtained for him a Place in three honorary fraternities; namely, Delta Phi Alpha, Chi Beta Phi and Beta Pi Theta. The last one is composed of men who have French as a common interest and who desire to perfect themselves in it. 0. C. Wilson's literary merit has been recognized by membership in Sigma Upsilon. He is sports editor of The Old Gold and Blaclc, and one of the foremost authorities on college athletics in the State. His column, "Terrier Tips," is constantly Praised and often quoted by sports editors throughout the State. 0. C. is also hi storian of the present Senior class. Carlisle King is a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council, as well as a worthy representative at Con[ 31

verse College during his idle moments. Carlisle does not find so much time for scholastic pursuits, but be is never too busy to see that the weaker sex do not suffer from lack of attention. Tom Taylor was formerly as interested in Converse affairs as is Carlisle, but now we think he has limited his socia l pursuits until it is a matter of life and death if he isn't with one particular girl. Taylor is president of the Calhoun literary society, a member of the Glee Club, and of Scabbard and Blade. "Pink" King is feature editor of The Bohemian and holds the same position on the staff of The Old

Gold and Black. That completes the list of seniors and we now turn with new zeal to the juniors. David Derrick is assistant manager of the football team as well as assistant circulation manager of The Old Gold and Black. Willie Hite is, and has been since his freshman year, a member of the Glee Club. Willie is a jazz musician, playing with the orchestra that is known throughout the State as the spirited "Blues Chasers." We have just comp leted the most succes ful rushing season in the history of Zeta Chapter. We sent out eight bids and now eight white diamonds may be seen on the lapels of some of the most promising freshmen among the first year men. The pledges are: Tom Diseker, Jim Polsom, Fred Nash, Moultrie Derrick, Alonzo Bouknight, and Joe Allen. The latter two are now regulars on the frosh football team. Then, to add to it all, two weeks ago the faculty announced that Zeta Chapter had won the Inter-fraternity Scholastic Cup, which is presented annuall y by the Pan-Hellenic Council to the fraternity which has the highest scholastic average.

Eta Inaugurates Chapter Meals and Dormitory System' Eta Chapter has at last gone domestic and has started serving meals in the chapter house. Under the leadership of our Archon, Bill Edwards, we have rooted Keith Wilson and Johnny Bell out of their "kitchenette apartment" and have replaced them with a few pots and pans. In the past Eta has not run a table because the fraternities are some· what smaller at Emory than at the average schoo l and also because of the convenience of eatina at "Tea- Room "J ohnson ' s, wh1eh · 1s · just · down the street. c All of the boys living on the campus are eating at the house, and the ones living in Atlanta take lunch with us. We believe that it will bring about better comradeship and a closer fraternal feeling in the chapter by being able to gather three times a day at the table in our own home.

Twenty-Two Active Men Return to Mu Chapter

.ty nt

Mu chapter has opened the year of 1930 with as good a start as th ey had in 1929. The chapter was fortunate in havin a lost only two brothers by graduation, and there w:re twenty-two Pi Kapp's on hand to carry out a stren uous rushing program. And the rushing season was a strenuous one, too. Mu was, however, successful in pledging ten of the best freshmen on the campus, and they are as follows: William Orr, Philadelphia, Pa.; Jam es King, Wilmington, N. C.; Adin Rucker, Rutherfordton, N. C.; William Dunford, Petersburg, Va.; Mario Martinez, Cuba; William Bridgers, ewport News, Va.; Tom Gadd, Charlotte, N.C.; W. P. Burwell, Warrenton, N. C.; Bryson Tipton, Durham, N. C.; Wilbur Sachsenmaier, Philadelphia, Pa. These freshmen have already started to work. Bill Bridgers is freshman sports writer for The Chronicle, the Duke weekly. lim King is out for the freshman football team and should make a va luable man next year. Bill Dunford was given a part in the cast of the first Taurian play, a dramati c club which produces severa l plays each year. The rest of the pledges are busy about th e campus, engaging in various forms of studen t activities. The older men have not been idle thi far, and Mu has three men on the fast-stepping Duke football squad: John Brownlee, Percy Young, and Belton Oneal Bryan. Ben Miller is in the Duke hand, as is Norfleet Hoggard. Joe Skinner is assist.ant sp~rts editor of The Chronicle. Henry Fulmer Js workmg for th e track team. As a freshman, he led in points scored in intercollegia te contests of the state. Fred Krupp is a member of the Taurian Cast. Taken all in all, th e Pi Kapp's are becoming more and more important fi gures in the Duke student life. John Brown lee is showing the way to the office-seekers of th e chapter by being elected to the presidency of th e sophomore class an d of the Bela Omega Sigma, a national honorary fraternity for sophomores. We have hopes of placing men in the coming cla s election for the junior and senior classes.

Miss Blackwell Elected Sponsor of Pi Chapter By ALAN RITZ Miss Mary Blackwell, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Blackwell of Atlanta, was unanimous· ly elected sponsor of Pi Kappa Phi recently. Pi chapter started its rushing this season with great spirit and now sixteen men are wearing the gold and white diamond. They are: Jack Johnson, Millen, Ga.; Ned Boyer, Hawkinsville, Ga.; Harold Martin, Norcross, Ga.; John Coursey, Atlanta, Ga.; Claude Buchanan, Atlanta, Ga.; Ward Hardin, Whig· ham, Ga.; Loyd Davis, Savannah, Ga.; Philip Hildreth, Savannah, Ga.; Rudolph Shouse, Manchester, Ga.; Richard Stone, Charleston, W.

Since they have been organized they have sponsored a banquet and dance at the Ansley Hotel in Atlanta, Dec. 5, in honor of the active chapter. John Coursey is president and Hubert Kadel, secretary and treasurer.

Holman Leads in Honors Won at Sigma Chapter By BILLY BOLT

HE honors which our football men have cap· tured are recorded elsewhere, both football honors and other extra-curricular activities. Yet we have several men in our chapter who have demonstrated in various forms their campus leadership. Marion Holman leads all other members of Sigma Chapter in the number of honors gained this year. He was elected business manager of this year's Garnet and Black, an enviable position of responsibility. He was last year's assistant business manager. Holman is also manager of the "Gamecock" varsity basketball squad, and has been for the past two years assistant manager. Marion ranks Number l man on the tennis team and bids fair to repeat it his Senior year. In addition to these he is a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council.

Many Alumni Return to Upsilon for Homecoming By CLARENCE FRAZER

PSILON opened up this year with twenty-one actives answering the first roll call, and to date has nine pledges, all engaged in some form of campus activity ranging from publications to sports. Looking forward a little, on May 19 Upsilon will celebrate the tenth year of her existence as a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Looking back over the ten years, we find that they have been fruitful years for the chapter. A scholastic standing consisten tly high, a constant increase in social prestige, and an everincreasing number of cups on the mantel bear witness to this growth. Homecoming this year was one of the most successfu l in the history of the chapter. More than twenty of the alumni were back to renew contact with the undergrads. Dad's Day too was unusual, both in the numb'er of dads present and in the twenty brothers from Omega who came over to see the Purdu~-lllinois game. Upsi lon is 'fortunate in having Lorry Thaisen back as a graduate student, taking work in education ; also in the welcome presence of Clarence Moyer, Psi, who is taking graduate work in chemistry. Both of the~e brothers are giving the chapter their assistance in the various activities. Meyer has joined the ranks of Upsilon alumni living in Champaign, and is selling insurance to all who will listen. Barker was here for several weeks, o,n business, and then left for Indianapolis. . Many other alumni have visited us in the course of the :semester, among them Maimer, McCoy, Morgan, Allan, Ullemeyer, Howard, Gunlock of Chi, and Towill, of Rho. ' Final plans for the financing of the new house are now under way, and Upsilon hopes to make the tenth year of its life a memorable one through the comp letion of these plans. ' Chapter officers for the semester are as follows: Charles Nelson, archon; Bud Wells, treasurer; Paul Leppla; secretary; Clarence Frazer, hi storian; Clifford Wertsch, chaplain; and Donald Mulvihill, warden.

Chi chapter opened up at 1. B. Stetson University last September with a series of successfu l smokers held at the house, mostly for the purpose of getting all the old men together once again and to meet the new freshmen. We are very proud of Carol Welshinger, who has been named freshman coach for this year, and Pi Kappa .Phi is lu cky to have five pledges on his fresh· man team. Welshinger was also elected presideNt of this year's Senior class at Stetson. Barker has won the envied office of manager of the varsity football team for this year, and Neophyte William Gantier is captain of the team. It pleases us to say that under Bill's leadership Stetson has been enjoying a great football season. Bill has brought further honors upon himself and Chi chapter by being elected Marshall of Phi Alpha Delta, national legal fraternity. Barker has been elected president of the Sophomore class, and Mar· vin Garrison was elected treasurer. · Earl Jinkinson, past archon of Chi, has been elected to fill the office of treasurer of Phi Alpha Delta, legal fraternity, and Grant was named vice . president of the same fraternity. Carl John son acts as trainer for Stetson's football team, is also assistant basketball coach, and is captain of the baseball team. Bridges is filling the high office of chancellor of Sigma Nu Phi, national legal fraternity.

EVIEWING Om ega's activities for the past months gives evidence that she is again out to rate the top rank. In starting off thi s semester all hut one active returned. Officers for this semester are: Lawrence Condrey, archon; Robert Bainbridge, treasurer; George Fortune, secretary; Henry Thoeming, historian ; Walter Fassnacht, chaplain ; Oscar Miller, warden. Rushing resulted in the pledging of: W. R. Lyman of Dowagiac, Michigan; W. E. Orr of El Paso, Texas; F. N. Garn of Sou th Bend, Indiana; R. F. Porter of Chicago, Illinois; P. N. Mann of Fort Wayne, Indiana; W. D. Truesdale of Winnetka, Illinois; J. Markley of W. Lafayette, Indiana; W. C. Helt, of North Olmstead, Ohio. After a series of hard fought games in the interfratern ity baseball tournament we reached the fin a Is. Despite J erry Fassnacht's air- tight pitching we lost the final contest. Jerry twirls a mean ball, and we're hoping to get the cup next season ; for he' ll be back. Art Donovan's Old Gold and Black Aces playing dreamy music; and decorations of white diamonds along with rhiny cap programs, carrying out th e pledge theme, made our pledge dance of October 17th one of the outstanding dances of the season. Omega's homecoming was well begun with the Varsity's 7-6 victory over Wisconsin. Some seventy lllen gathered in the dining room for the banquet that evening to bear several speeches and the presentation of a handsomely-made bronze plaque of the fraternity crest to Vernon G. Pease as the outstanding freshman of last year. This plaque was given to the hou se to be awarded ever y homecoming to Lhe man who was outstanding in scholarship , coopera tive ability, and activities during his freshman Year in the house. Dad's Day Banquet was held in honor of the men who are responsible for our presence in college. All the dads were introdu ced at the banquet. Every clad was pleased with Omega chapter and the house. Dad Gollmar and Dad Bainbridge presented the house with an annunciator system for the dining room. Th e waiters will he exceptionally busy until the novelty has worn off. Larry Condrey is active in the band as its drum-

major. Purdue's Military Band has been named " The Greatest College Band," and we are sure that Larry helps in earning that title. Condrey's goosestepping would make Hindenburg green with envy. " Jeff" Gilbert and " Di ck" Gollmar are the other house members of the band. " P ete" Sherwood and "Art" Bostater , our Pi Kapp scholars, are diligently studying to hold their place. Clarence Field, " Jeff" Gilbert, Jim Beggs, and Frank Nicklas are wearing Scabbards and Blade cu tlasses. The three Seniors look anything hut dignifi ed wearing their wooden swords. Condrey is Omega's active Scabbard and Blade man. We trust him to give the pledges a hot reception. The boys from Chicago are planning another dinner during th e Christmas holidays. Last year's affair must have been keen to inspire another. Jim Beggs won't he able to break any tapes in Cross Country this year due to an injury to his foot. Charlie Myers is following up his "Ag" activities this semester. He was a national delega te to Washington, D. C., last June representing Purdue in 4H club work. Pledges Billie Orr and "Abe" Lyman are working every night to get their freshman football sweaters. Fred Edwards' doll houses turned out to he playshop stage models which he had been designing. George Fortune is organizations editor of the Debris, Purdue's annual. Veri Hiatt is sa les manager of the same publication as well as a staff member of the Purdue Engineer, the engi neering school s' monthly. Eighteen of our fellows attended the PurdueIllini game, and were guests of the Upsilon Chapter. From all reports, it seems that everyone had a good time. The hospi tality of the fellows at Upsilon Chapter exemplified the tru e Pi Kapp spirit. Now that Omega has attained the King of the Hill position in the efficiency con test, try to push us off.

Alpha Alpha Chapter Wins Scholarship Cup By B. C. TEASLEY, JR. ESPITE the fact th~t nine members of Alpha Alpha Chapter failed to return to Mercer this Fall, the prospects for a successful year are very bright. Nine brothers returned to school in September and our Chapter roll has been in creased by the tran sfer of brother Raymond Cole, Eta, and the initiation of Brothers Everett Cox, Canton, Ga., Embry Connell, Macon, and Frank Evans, Milledgeville, Ga. At present there are six men wearing the gold

and white diamond. They are: Jack Van Zandt, Calhoun, Ga.; Charlie Jordan, Macon; Searcy Garrison, Ochelochnee, Ga.; Jimmie Smith, Greenville, Ga.; Jack Adams, .Macon and George McElvy, Whigham, Ga. The officers of the Chapter are: Philip Etheridge, archon; Houser Gilbert, treasurer; Clarence Askew, secretary; Columbus Teasley, historian; John Barnes, chaplain, and John Cash, warden. Alpha Alpha won the Inter-fraternity scholarship cup for last year and it will soon be presented to the Chapter by the Pan-Hellenic Council. On the thirty-first of October in the Gold Room of the Dempsey Hotel, the Chapter held its annual banquet in honor of its pledges. Forty-one guests were present. Everybody had a great time, we hope, and the banquet was acclaimed as the best one in a number of years. A number of campus honors are held by members of Alpha Alpha. Phil Etheridge is president of the Pan-Hellenic Council, president of the Senior Law Class, president of Phi Alpha Delta, vice president of the Blue Key Fraternity, and president of the Presidents' Club. He is also defense attorney on the Student Tribunal. Harden is judge of the Student Tribunal, president of the John Marshall Law Club, vice-president of the President's Club and a member of both Blue Key and Phi Alpha Delta. Askew is president of the Ciceronian Literary, president of Kappa Phi Kappa and vice-president of the Senior Class. Cox is president of the Sophomore Class. The Chapter has five men on the Glee Club: Freeman, Cole, Evans, Smith and Garrison. Pledge Van Zandt is on the freshman football squad, which by the way, has played through the season thus far without having been scored on. "They have won every game. The chapter is represented on the two · student publications and has men in almost every branch of student activities. Executive Secretary is of Bad Repute at A lpha Beta

The opening of school found a small, but active, group of Pi Kapps ready for the battle of rush week. Walsdorf again played the part of Oracle, SphinX and Dynamo, being perhaps the most active one in the bunch, despite the fact that he has been an alumnus for quite a few years. Other alumni aided us a great deal and attended the banquets, dances, and functions in general. The result was fourteen first-class pledges who are not letting the dust settle on them. As a further duster, or perhaps, I should have said feather duster, the Chapter is offering a jeweled badge to the freshman making the highest grades. Those whom this medium fails to impress will be introduced to a stack of paddles. Leon Page, our youngest pledge, has a Waco plane out at the S. A. T. field and will soon have completed the necessary number of hours to obtain a transport license. However, he will still have quite a long wait on account of the age limit set by the government. He, Addison and Richards made a trip to Shreve· port in the plane about two weeks ago. Had a bit of tough luck going up, but made the three hun· dred-odd miles coming back in three hours and a half. The pledges gave a dance on November eighth. It was quite a success. Several Alumni and a num· her of Pi Kapps from Auburn were there. It was our first dance since rush week. Inter-fraternity basketball was put under way at Tulane during the past week, and we drew the Beta's as our first assignment. Under the supervision of Griff Jones we hope to make a good showing, and he has promised results if the men will only come out for practice. Successfu l Rushing Season Enj oyed by Ok lahoma Me11

After the house preliminaries were over, the initial activities of the year began with a well-ap· pointed rush banquet September 17, in the HuckinS Hotel at Oklahoma City, where approximately 150 alumni, pledges and guests were entertained. Rushing activities rewarded the chapter with the pledging of 12 men.

The following pledges were obtained: Ezra Batson, Sylacauga, Alabama, who was valedictorian of the class of 1930 and who has a position as trombone player in the A.P.I. ban d; Reuben Cumbee, Stroud, Alabama, the third of the Cumbee's to come to us, an active athlete in High School, and who intends to join the freshmen in a try-out for the basketball team ; Clarence Johnson, West Point, Georgia, who got his prep-schooling at Gordon Military Academy, and from the amount of work he is doing this semester, looks as though he will be the winner of the jewel pin offered to the pledge making th e best record scholastically; Joe Fuller, Marion Junction , Alabama, somewhat small in sta ture but what is minus in size is evidently converted into brains; Lynwoode Poole, Montgomery, Alabama, considered as the wit of the pledges; Fred Steph ens, Louisville, Alabama, who was president of his class the last year of high school; and Charles Adams, Alex City, Alabama, who holds a position on the circulation staff of The Plainsmen, the college newspaper. November 1 was homecoming fo r the alumni of A. P. 1., and the date of quite a few happenings on the campus. A dance put an end to the festivities of th e day. Brother and Mrs. J. Chandler Burton paid their first visit of the year to us. Brother Burton is our Distri ct Archon, and we hope tha t he found things operating as they should. " Red" Ru ssell drove in from Tennessee; and Moore, Hixon and Roberts, all of the same graduation class, were once more together. At a recent football game between A. P. I. and Georgia Tech, the Iota and Eta chapters were hosts to Alpha Iota. As a member of the party, I can say that the entire group had a great time. Wednesday night, October 22, was the date of initiation of Will King and LeRoy Cummings.

We all know th at next year the convention is to be held in Detroit during the summer vaca tion. We beli eve the selection is an extremely wise one.

This means that hotel accommodations in Detroit are easy to obtain, the rates are low and the personnel well equipped to point out the interesting things about Detroit and make your stay generally enjoyabl e. Detroit is a beautiful city. The streets are well kept and shaded with trees to such an extent th a t one looking at Detroit from the tower of a large building can see little else, except where buildings rise above the folia ge. Detroit is on the Detroit Ri ver, which connects Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. Opportuniti es for boat rides and moonlight excursion s are plentiful th ere. Lake breezes, moon light dancing on th e ripples and mu sic that enslaves your feet helps some. And in your more serious moments, what an oppor tunity to stud y American industry it is ! Huge factori es and mass produ ction methods that et the standard for all indu stry are here for you to inspect and ponder over. You can marvel at the clock-like precision of the produ ction lines as you Watch iron and steel grow into an automobile and ro ll off the line under its own power. And then when the strain of trying to crowd so mu ch into a few days has you down a bit, retire for a pell from the hurry of busy America, visit Canada. It takes but a few minutes to reach Windsor via the new Ambassador bridge. Truly wonderful neighbor , th ese Canadians.

Alpha Mu Faces Year Optimistically in New House By MICHAEL BIGGER N Septe~ber we came back to this house with sixteen active men and two pledges, Dick Peterson of Warren and Fred Ruth of Robisonia. In May "Speed" Moyer of Tamaqua was initiated. Speed has lived up to his name and last spring won his numerals in lacrosse. As the result of the fall rushing we have pledged twelve men. They are: "Pete" Kershner and "Bud" Miller of Tamaque; "Bus" Cornog and "Buck" Roberts of Lansdowne; Oscar Stevens of Everett; Howard Colt, "Bob" Sandhlade, Ernest Miller, Edwin Bradford of Warren; Frank Bierer of Pittsburgh, Alwyn Sweeney of Punxsutawney, and Jack Farquhar of Belleville. Regarding the activities of the men: "Speed" Moyer and Glen Stoudt are out for fall lacrosse practice. Harry Rodgers is still production manager of the Thespian Club and working as hard as ever. Bud Bildstein is one of his assistants and hopes to replace Harry when he leaves. Harlan West is a member of the Glee Club and anticipates several good trips with them this year. Joe Miller is a member of the stock judging team of the college and has won several medals. Joe will soon leave on a trip to Toronto and Chicago. He is a member of Lambda Gamma Delta, honorary agriculture judging fraternity. He is also president of the Pre-Vet. Club. "Pete" Kershner, a freshman pledge, is going strong as a pole vau lter, having tied for first place in the freshman track meet. "Buck" Roberts and Oscar Stevens are out for the business board of the Froth, the college comic magazine. "Bus" Cornog is another track man, sprinter and quarter miler, who won several places in the track meet. "Bob" Keiffer is a member of the Senior ball committee. "Bob" also served on the Junior prom committee. The house has played one football game in the interfraternity contest, losing to the Phi Sigma Kappas, 7-0. "Dick" Peterson was the outstanding player, but the whole team performed well. Our chances of winning the consolation cup, a cup to be contested by the losers, are very good. On November 7 and 8 the big social event of the season was held; namely, the fall house party. Nearly all of the house took in this affair, and with an excellent hand, a big crowd and many alumni back, it was a big success. At the same time our pleasure was greatly increased by the visit of "Doc" Leake, executive secretary. His visit means a strengthening of the ties that bind the chapter to the central organization and he gave the officers and

(

the chapter some good advice. Though his visit was short he accomplished a great deal, and his visit will always be remembered with a great deal of pleasure by the chapter. The chapter is now under the guidance of the following officers: archon, "Bob" Keiffer; treasurer, Harlan West; secretary, Donald Kirkland; historian, Michael M. Bigger; chaplain, Horace Epler; warden, H. James Moyer.

Many Alpha Nu's Succumb to Cupid and Marriage Altar By AL YIN H. FRYE

RESHMAN WEEK opened with most of the men from Alpha Nu back and raring to go. Crossley, after returning a week earlier and cleaning the house with the help of Dan Ursu, was called home due to an operation on his father, and is not now in school. He will, however, be with us again in the winter quarter. Johnny Grissinger will also be here next quarter, after having been absent during the fall. We have with us Herb Boring, who was a member of Xi chapter at Roanoke. The fall quarter initiation saw four new brothers admitted into Pi Kappa Phi. Dan Ursu, Corwin Hablitzel, Owen Howard and Kenneth Haley are these newest members. At present Alpha Nu has six pledges and with the staging of a big rushing party in the near future expects to add at least half a dozen more to the ranks.

Despite the fact that Alpha Nu went from second to twelfth in the fraternity scholastic rating their point average went up a tenth of a point. The averages this year were as a whole much higher than last, which shows that fraternity men aren't in school tnerely for the good time they can derive from it. We have also added two new members to our faculty list. Marcy Powell, who graduated last .Pring, is now teaching in the French department and is at the same time working on his Master's degree. Professor Chadwick of the horticulture dePartment will be initiated in the winter quarter. We now have four members in the faculty. John Corley of last year's graduating class received a scholarship from the University and is now doing work on his Master's degree here. November 1 was a big day here, for on that day We saw a large group of alumni back for Homecoming, our football team tied Wisconsin, the alumni held their yearly meeting, and then we all ioined together and had a big time at our annual liomecoming dance. We also staged a dance the Week-end of the Michigan game. Athletically we have been doing great things so far. Two wins out of two games played is the standing of our indoor baseball team, and the Class "A" bowlers have achieved the same standing. The "B" team has come out ahead in their first game. l'he only thing we have lost in is miniature golf, hut that was just a small matter to us. Fuchs and l<.iinzler are out for berths on the var ity fencing team and will no doubt end up the year with that goa l reached. Kenny Haley is still riding the ponies and before he ends his college career he will be the "liitchcock" of the Ohio team. Dan Cupid has sure had a great influence in the Alpha Nu gang during the past months. Since our last communication to this publication, five men have li stened to his pleadings and are now married. Fred Rector, our archon, and Mis Patricia Johnston of Pittsburgh were married this summer in the same church in Columbus in which Don Rader and his Wife took their vows. Walter Insley, one of our 1930 graduates was married to Miss Gwendolyn Beall. Walt is n~w in Detroit, where he is employed by the Atlantic and Pacific Company. Harry Lippus and Miss Harriet Bentley announced their marriage after three months of secrecy concerning it. They are now living in a cottage at Rye Beach, Ohio. And just recently we have been informed of the marriages of Pete McCaughey and Bob Edwards.

Two Chapter Cups and College Cup Are Awards at Alpha Xi By FRED BOETTE HE first year of actual competition for the Derby Cup, emblematic of fraternity scholastic supremacy, resulted in a victory for the Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, according to an announcement made by the chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. We are not satisfied with a better scholarship than our contemporaries, so in an effort to further stimulate cholarship we have two chapter scholarship cups that are awarded each year. The first of these is competed for by the freshmen in the chapter, and the second by the upper classmen. These cups are awarded not only on the ba is of scholarship but on the nearest approach to the ideal Pi Kapp, which includes extra-curricular activitie , fraternity work and social consciousness. The freshman cup was won this past year by Brother Alfred Tyrrill, and the upper classmen's cup by Brother Louis . Rowley, Jr.

On Monday evening, November 3, 1930, there was unveiled and dedicated the memorial to those members of the old local fraternity of Psi Sigma who died before its nationalization as the Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The memorial is a bronze tablet designed and executed by the J. & R. Lamb Studios. At the top in high relief appears the coat of arms of Psi Sigma between the Greek initials of its name, and beneath the inscription "Brothers in Psi Sigma who have been called to the Chapter Eternal" is a list of thirteen deceased brothers with their classes and th e dates of their deaths. The tablet is affixed to the wall of the chapter room immediately over the mantel-shelf. The social season of Alpha Xi was officially opened on October 13 with the pledge dance, where everyone present enjoyed themselves in real Pi Kapp fashion. The season was given even greater momentum by the successful formal dinner-dance held at the chapter house on ovember l. This dinner-dance was the result of co-operation of the lunch club and the social committee. We were honored with the presence of our Executive Secretary, Leake, and with our usual large alumni attendance. Alpha Xi is very proud of her position in extracurricular activities, a condition that is a result of campus prestige and fraternity policy. We have in the chapter this year the editor-in-chief of the college weekly, who is past editor-in-chief of the year book, and who was recently elected to the honorary

fraternity of Delta Kappa Pi; two feature editors of the college weekly; the cast director of the dramatic society, make-up manager and assistant; the president of the Polychem Society, a local chemica l society founded by the present president; the president, trea urer and chairman of the social committee of th e A.S .M.E. ; the chairman and another member of the senior class Pin and Ring committee; a senior class representative on the Student Council; the chairman of the sophomore class social committee. The above list of extra-curricula workers represent about 50 per cent of the positions held by fraternity men, which is a record of which we are justly proud.

Alpha Omicron Purchases Lots for The Future Home NTENSIVE rushing at Iowa State, which began September 17 and ended September 30, resulted in the acquisition of five future Pi Kapps. However, the season's rushing campaign is by no means over, and many prospective pledges are being entertained each week. The result of such post-rush week work has been four more men.

The first step in the direction of Alpha Omicron's future home was made a short time ago when two lots were purchased for building purposes. The chosen location is excellent in view of the fact that it is in the heart of the Iowa State fraternity-sorority district and within easy access of the campus. No plans have been made for building, but it is an ticipated that the building fund will permit a new house within the next four years. The social activities schedule for the fall quarter was opened by a Fireside at th e chapter house October 10. The Homecoming dance held November 1 at Hotel Sheldon-Munn was attended by some fifty couples. Arrangements are now being comp leted for the Winter Formal, which will be held February 28. The personnel of Alpha Omicron thi s quarter is compo ed of thirteen members and fifteen pledges. The men who were pledged this fall are: Robert Batchler, Council Bluffs; Harold Dewell, Clarence; Stuart Dingman, Cedar Rapids; Harold Grantham, Lake City; Emmit Klindt, Mediapolis; 1ohn Linder, Counci l Bluffs; Oliver Marsh, Peru, Nebr. ; Pau 1 Mu ller, Council Bluffs, and Earl Robertson, Marquette, Mich.

Alpha Rho Specializes in Military Honors By FRED STEW ART ITH the opening of school on September 10, Alpha Rho was back at the old stand at 65 High with seventeen members. During rushing sea· son we pledged the following men: Paul S. Moyers, Charles Young, Robert L. Harper, 1ohn Bradley, Ralph Izard, Richard Siers, Paul Thompson, Li~· wood Young, Maurice White, Benja111in Leo W1l· Iiams. These boys are all from West Virginia.

Officer for th e first semester are: Lawrence Oneacre, archon ; Charles Hall, secretary; Charlie Hill, treasurer; Fred Stewart, historian ; Ellis Brad· ley, warden, and Fred Fisher, chaplain. John Adkins is prep-master; Edward Higgs is steward, and Ed· ward Rodgers is house manager. In campus activities we are taking a rather prorn· inent part. Rodgers is on the Cadet Hop committee, Marques is president of the Spanish Club, Adkins is secretary of Scabbard and Blade, Stewart is secre· tary of A.I.E.E. and vice-president of General Engi· neering Society. In the military department we have two captains, one of whom is the regimental ad· jutant; one first lieutenant and one secon d lieu ten· ant, and one sergeant, who is regimental sergeant· major. There are also several of the fellows in the ranks. Adkins, Rodgers, Higgs, Marques and Stewart attended the Mountain State Forest Festival at Elkins, W. Va., on October . 30, as escorts of prin· cesses and sponsors and also as an escort of the Governor. In honorary societies, we are doing rather well. Higgs and Stewart are pledged to Scabbard and Blade. This makes a total of four members. Brother Stewart was also pledged to Red Dragon Casteliers, an organization of military engi· neers. Hill is pledged to Alpha Zeta. Stewart is pledged to Tau Beta Pi, which makes him a wearer of three pledge pins at one time. Fisher and Pledge White are out for varsity box· ing. Hill, captain of track, has not yet reported for practice. He is holder of state records in the discus, 35-lb. weight throw, hammer, and has been hi gh point man on the squad for three years. Martin is an instructor in Military. The Chapter gave an informal party Saturday, November 1, which was a distinct success. We are in the midst of intramural activity. Our handball team hopes to win the league and perhaps the championship . We have men entered in cross· country also. Basketball will soon follow and, with some new men, we hope to have a strong team.
