"Out, Damned Spot!"

WE NOTE with pleasure the concerted move of definite nature which is underway on many of the campuses of the nation to eliminate the biggest black mark which may be chalked against the fraternities-nothing less than the probationary period for pledges which is so aptly y-clept "Hell Week."

In this issue will be found what the University of Illinois has done to supplant more vicious practices, and similar plans are being adopted on many other major campuses.

Glory be! the fraternities are growing up. The National Interfraternity Conference expressed itself in the last session in no uncertain terms in condemnation, which is not unusual , but in this instance it condemned and then started plans to guillotine the practices. Into line with their hearty support stepped the deans of men. Verbal batteries were let loose, conferences of campus fraternity leaders were held, and argument and discussion has held sway. It is a great source of pride that the undergraduate chapters have acknowledged the error of the practices and have voluntarily agreed to drop them and seek others less dangerous and more dignified. As yet we have had no chapter of Pi Kappa Phi fail to give full coi:ipenition in the program, although one bewails the inability to eliminate the paddle because all the other fraternities on the campus use it. To that chapter is given a good opportunity of leading the way to a unified movement among all the fraternities.

Perhaps it is significant that the recent two cases of harm done during pre-formal ceremonies could not be attributed to the social groups but to a professional honorary and a departmental honorary (lingers crossed!), but it still stands that anything done in the name of a combination of Greek letters is tossed by the public into the laps of the social groups.

"The evil that men do ...." -let us be circumspect and sensible.

BROTHERS EVERYWHERE:

In behalf of every Pi Kapp in the Pacific Northwest, I extend to you a sincere The invitation to attend the Eighteenth Supreme Chapter meeting in Seattle. desire to bring the convention to the West has long been flaming. Seattle is particularly proud of the opportunity to serve as your host.

To those who have attended past conventions, little need be said of the association and inspiration gained through participation in a Supreme Chapter. But to the many who have not had that happy privilege, we eagerly present a golden opportunity.

For obvious reason this convention presents to many men on the Pacific slope the only opportunity for at· tendance since the trek to Berkeley in 1921. The West will be well represented.

To all will be accorded the knowledge of the true national scope of the fraternity of which we are each 50 proud to be a part. You will see a new territory, face new problems together, and meet and call friends those we now know only as names on the fraternity's roster. .

The local committees will do their utmost to make your stay the most enjoyable four days of your life. In the all too short time provided for social activity, Seattle will offer you such variety and quality as will not be forgotten. The costs will be reasonable- most reasonable for the calibre of program we will offer you.

Let's make it a date !

assemble in the Queen City of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle, next August 19, they will ~~lllptly .find themselves guests of a convention com'W~ttee which has earnes~ly ende~vored to prepar~ a 'W'III-rounded program. Fmal details of the conventiOn a; 1 not be fully revealed to delegates and guests until an ater _date, but Horace A. Granger, general d1airman, h d hts cohorts have completed their share of the rtogram. a Just _to touch the highlights of the convention in l! tunntng fashion: Early Wednesday morning, Augt st 19, registration will begin in convention headquar~fs, S~attle's ultra-modern 1,000 room hotel, ~he it Ylllptc. Serene as the great mountains for whtch 6 'Was named, the Olympic is one of America's really d~~ hotels and offers complete and beautiful accommob ~ons not only for house delegates but for all of the 1\rllstness and social affairs incidental to a complete and i ell-conducted convention. During Wednesday morn~g, delegates from all parts of the United States will 'W~~t One another. They will be meeting in a city h tch never before has had the pleasure of playing POst to Pi Kappa Phi. Convention sessions will open 6r~lllptly at 3:00 P.M., and delegates and officers will san the~selves busily engaged in transacting the necesC~ bustness which is the real backbone of Supreme apter.

Soc~n the evening comes the informal dance, the .first th tal affair on the convention schedule. It will be in Olympic Bowl, a beautifully decorated public room the hotel. Delegates from the various chapters are

going to .find that the date committee of the convention has been working day and night rounding up Seattle's most attractive and eligible girls. While the University of Washington will not be in formal session, the University Summer School will produce its fair share of dancing partners.

The next morning, after sleepy eyes are opened, we will board a large ocean liner of the Canadian Pacific line, and promptly at 9:00 set sail for the fourhour trip up Puget Sound for Victoria, B.C. The journey up the Sound promises to be one of the brightest spots on the convention schedule, for not only will it enable attendants at the convention to further acquaint themselves with one another but will enable them to see exactly why Seattle's citizens tend to become indifferent when dwellers in other parts of the country brag about their natural surroundings.

From the decks of the "Princess Ship" we will be able to see-if the weather permits-the tall peaks of the Cascade Range to the eastward and the Olympics to the west. We will pass hard-by thickly wooded shores still untouched from the days when the only dwellers were occasional Indians and the wild animals which still, as a matter of fact, lind safe haven in those forests.

Our steamer's whistle will echo in salute to passing ocean liners fresh in from distant ports across the seas-we will slip by lumber freighters heavily laden with products from all over the United States and bound for Japan, China, the East Indies, and the Philippines.

In Victoria we will lunch, and following that board private automobiles or large busses for a sight3

seeing tour around that very picturesque city which is the most western outpost of Canada. As it is becoming increasingly known, Victoria is one of the most unusual and charming cities in North America. Essentially English in spirit, it goes on its quiet way in a manner which has become envied the world over. Late in the afternoon, we will again board a steamer for the trip back to Seattle, and if the weatherman is as kind, as he usually is during Seattle's summertime, we will make the journey back through a moonlit sea. Needless to say, all visiting Pi Kapp ladies are being cordially invited to join this trip. Through special arrangements with the steamship company it will be entirely possible to hold special committee meetings eoroute, for the ships are large and offer many facilities for just such purposes.

On the following day, Friday, August 21, will be continued the necessary business sessions during the morning, from all present plans. Undoubtedly they will continue· throughout the lunch hour and on until 3:30 o'clock. At that time, there will be waiting out-

This will require a~ estimated two hours, and while this time is short, tt will nevertheless permit convention delegates to be· come fairly well acquainted with a city which has set records in population, growth, and development of business and .financial stability.

Noon of that same day, Friday, will see the schedule of a luncheon and bridge party for all of the visiting ladies. It will be sponsored by the Mothers' Club of Alpha Delta Chapter and by the Seattle Wives' Club· On Friday evening comes that traditionally color_ful affair, the formal ball, without which a conventJ0° would be decidedly lacking. At this writing, negotia· tions are under way to obtain the services of one of the Pacific Coast dance orchestras, and it is probable that one of Seattle's several radio stations will tell the musical story of a successful Pi Kapp social event. rhe social committee is concentrating upon this unit of th_e program and is confident of its ability to make tt eminently successful.

On the concluding day, Saturday, August 22, will_be further business sessions. Social events will 10 ' elude a tour of the city, this time especially f~r the visiting ladies. The exact route of this expedt· tion is being kept a closely guarded secret, but reports have it that surprises will be in order. ·aJ Saturday evening will see the concluding soC' event of the 1936 Supreme Chapter-the forrna1 banquet. This will be in the principal banquet hall of the Olympic Hotel and will be marked bY characteristic decorations of the Northwest. s:v~ eral officials of Seattle will be there to join leaders of the University of Washington in we· coming a great fraternity gathering. We are not yet able to reveal the exact banquet prograrn but it can be depended upon that Seattle's Pi :KapP~ are to leave nothing undone to present a fll 05 enjoyable affair. .

After the convention is officially over, it wtll be possible for all who wish, to make a most en· joyable motor trip to neighboring Mt. Rainier~ This calls for departure from Seattle early Sun day morning, for dinner at "Paradise Inn" far u~ on the slopes of the great Rainier (above 6,0° t ft. level) and for return that evening. The cos will be nominal. A leading Seattle motor Jirfll; Lewis & Culbertson, distributors of Studebak\ cars, have cheerfully volunteered the use of a aee of new models for this expedition. .

All in all, Pi Kappa Phi's 1936 Supreme Chap . bl lfatf· ter should be a well roun d ed an d enJoy~ ~ a tlJC Seattle's Pi Kapps look forward to convmong w· fraternity at large that the bright light of fello ship flames high in the Northwest.

In Re: Convention Random Jottings by the Editors

S

OME one has remarked that fraternity publications seem to center about the national gatherings of the organizations. They give much space before the tneeting to describe its attractions and urge attendance, and afterwards, just as much, or more, space to what happened. There is a lot of truth in the statement, just as there is a lot of reason for the typical handling of Pre. and post-convention publicity and propaganda.

The official call for the convention has been mailed to all chapters. It states that the meeting is called "for ~he purpose of electing national officers and performtn? such other business as properly may come before satd meeting." At first breath it may seem a long way to go and a lot of trouble to undergo to effect a few ~.usiness matters, and any one arguing against conventons, the trouble and expense so involved, would have an _air-tight case if it were only for such reasons. The llla~n purpose of the convention is association, and the ~a)or portion of the time allowed for the convention 18 devoted to social commingling, designed to create in th~ short time a spirit camaraderie and genial fellowshtp. And it does. It is rather remarkable how, in the natne of the fraternity, a hundred or more men from au sections of the country, most of them strangers to each other, can in short order create that uplifting attnosphere of oneness of purpose, mutual affection, and joyous group spirit.

The convention will cost the fraternity several thousands of dollars. This might be saved if it were ~nly_ business which called for the biennial gatherings, tt could be accomplished by mail with a certain . egree of satisfaction; but there would be little mean~ng to the adjective "national" when applied to the taternity without these gatherings. Reality trods the ~onvention stage by virh1e of shoulder to shoulder conact. Central Office becomes a personality rather than ~ ~echanical system for knitting together far-flung ntts, and only through such force can it be of any Value. The national officers cease to be pictures and narnes in the magazine and communications and bet~rne wholly human and admirable, persons we are ~ad to follow and assist. California learns from North arolina, and vice versa, and they find many things s~tprisingly in common. The undergraduate finds the a Utnnus very likeable and wholly agreeable when that aura of dignity and "busy as H-" is thrown aside; an~ the alumnus has his eyes opened by forthright ;ertousness with which the undergraduate takes this n~aternity "business." Conventions permit the fratert tty to sense its own character, and it is most salutary 0 know ourselves.

We thought we were spending a great deal of money on conventions until recently, when the information came to hand to the effect that a certain sorority customarily spends $25,000 on its national gathering. Left us with a feeling of being "small change" and rather envious. We wish we might have as much. The convention would bring corresponding greater returns.

The more men present at the gathering, the more representative it is of the various parts of the country and the different generations within the fraternity ranks, the better; so we do all we can to persuade members to attend. It is invariably a source of inspiration and constructive action, and after it is over we must then bubble over in terms of all the enthusiastic adjectives our limited vocabulary holds.

Before and after-we say as much as possible about the conventions.

There is one lad in New York City going to the convention who did not contemplate the trip until a recent action of the National Council-none other than Ralph W. Noreen, chairman of the Finance Corn~it· tee, which handles the investments of the fraternity· They voted to him his expenses in recognition of h.is fruitful work as head of the Committee which has 10 the past few years more than recovered the losses suf· fered in depreciation of securities during the more strenuous depression days. At the same time, regret was expressed by the officers that the entire Coaunittee could not be given a free ride, but the budget shoo~ a negative head. They deserve much of the fraternity, do Ralph Noreen, Bob Allen, and Kurt Lauter.

We feel, as a result, that the period between the conventions, exclusive of preparation and follow-up, is in the nature of a vacation !

The business sessions Saturday, presided over by Brother Herlong, were well attended, and constructive talks were given. The morning session was opened with a talk by District Archon Jackson on "The College Fraternity," in which he traced the origin and development of the J raternity system. He emphasized the fact that college fraternities grew up to meet the lack of social facilities in the universities of this country.

The next speaker of the morning was Brother James Ramage of Iota who gave an interesting talk on "The Future of Pi Kappa Phi." Clifford Webb, Alpha Iota, then spoke on "Fraternity Scholarship," the most actively discussed topic on the program. This was followed by a round table discussion and proposals of ways and means to better scholastic; standings.

Boyce Ezell of Chi talked on "Fraternity Activities."

The major point brought forth dealt with the need for extensive participation of .fraternities in the extracurricular activities in order to keep the campus conscious that you have a willing and eager group of progressive men who desire to place the fraternity on the map. Brother Jean Bush, Alpha Epsilon, business manager of Florida's weekly publication, the far famed Alligator, spoke on "Fraternity Publications." This was followed by a brief sketch by Bill Dowda, Alpha Epsilon, on the methods he is using to keep Alpha Epsilon of Pi Kappa Phi before the public in his capacity as publicity director of the chapter. It was emphasized that this is not an elective position nor is it a part of the other chapter offices. It is a job that is to be appointed and should be some student in journalism.

The Saturday afternoon sessions were started with a talk by John Cherry of Alpha Epsilon on "Summer Rushing," and they emphasized the paint of cooperation among the different chapters. If there is a Pi Kappa Phi chapter at the school where a prospect plans to attend, a brother should contact him and talk to him and then after careful consideration write a recommendation to the chapter. A very up-to-the-minute talk on "Pledge Training" was given by Brother Lamar of Omicron in which he offered suggestions which should prove of great value to all present.

Brother Barnett of Iota spoke on "Rushing." He pointed out the need for close cooperation between Alumni and actives where a prospective man is under

9

consideration. This is indeed a very impor'tant thing and the alumni representing the various towns should be ever aware of the men from that locality who are going away to school. William Bull of Alpha Epsilon gave a talk on "Twelve Years with Alpha Epsilon," in which he traced the history of the chapter from its establishment in 1924 until the present conclave.

President Meisel concluded the business sessions with a brief talk on fraternity, pointing out that the solution of all our problems is in the further development of brotherhood.

During the closing minutes of the business sessions,

girls invited from Florida State College, as well as other places, began to arrive. These were truly the cream of Florida beauty. A delightful buffet supper, enjoyed by some 125 brothers and their dates, gave way to the concluding event of the conclave in the form of a formal dance given at the Twentieth Centur}' Club from 9-12, with the Famous Floridians furnish· ing the melodies. A red rose was presented to each girl at the dance, as a symbol and memento of the occasion.

Four stars were voted to Miss Barbara Cornett, who came all the way from Vassar to be present at the dance.

Illinois Abolishes Hell Week

By Judson Mason, Upsilon

T

HE traditional "Hell Week" preceding initiation into fraternities has led to much just criticism against the fraternity system in general. At the University of Illinois this became a real problem. The amount of "horse play" tended to increase with each succeeding year, as every class fully attempted to give the pledges more punishment than they themselves received. Naturally, with such an established precedent to follow, the pledges could expect almost anything. It got so bad that it greatly handicapped the pledges in their school work as well as to endanger them physically. Many students avoided pledging for these very reasons, expecially since the situation was greatly exaggerated by the criticism of non-fraternity men, boarding clubs, and others with anti-fraternity interests. With the growing sentiment against such practices, together with the diminishing number capable of paying for the privileges of fraternity life during the depression, the chapters were greatly handicapped and consequently suffered.

Realizing that the fraternities were only hindering themselves, and for no good reason, the Interfraternity Council at the University of Illinois took the pioneering step of attempting to abolish this evil. In place of the old system of hazing pledges for a week before admitting them as brothers into the fraternity, the Council at Illinois has established an educational period which must be observed by all houses. It is felt that this is more fitting to the occasion. This new system still allows for a short informal period on the week-end but it affords a more serious preparation beforehand.

While it is felt that this system is not perfected as yet, and will not entirely replace the old practices immediately, it is believed that over the period of a few years the fraternities will realize the advantages of the new plan. This should in time erase the objections that

10

many people have at present to fraternity hazing· A summary of the Council's regulations will give an idea of what is being attempted: That this period shall be termed Fraternity Days. .

That the Initiation Chairman of each individual fratern 11Y is to take full responsibility for Fraternity Days in his re· spective house, and to see that every candidate follows, to the letter, his program and instructions.

That the Initiation Chairman will keep a roll call and attendance record of all compulsory functions.

That punishment for infractions of any of the rules. ?Y the individual pledges be left to the discretion of the InttW tion Chairman concerned.

This period shall start the Wednesday night foilowin~ registration of the second semester by a lecture of a reh· gious nature. .

Thursday night there shall be a lecture on the "FraternitY Man," and one on "The University of Illinois."

All pledges shall retire Wednesday and Thursday nightf by not later than ten-thirty, and shall have a minimum 0 seven hours of continuous sleep.

All classes shall be attended Thursday, Friday and Satur· day, and all class work will be completely looked after. A_s a check on this, all Initiation Chairmen shall get, each evenJO!l• a list of all cuts of pledges from the Dean of Men's office.

No impositions of excessively heavy or disagreeable taskS shall be allowed by the houses on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday afternoon. . 1 Friday night and Saturday will be left to the indivtdua houses for their traditional informal initiations and house cleaning.

11 Formal initiations will begin Sunday morning for a houses who need only one day for their formal initiationsi Houses which require a longer period of time for their forma initiation shall begin Saturday night.

All pledges are to be in their rooms except at meal times, class time, or lecture time.

All pledges shall be on silence rules throughout the peri?!· Pledges are to be given plain, substantial food during u•e period with no fancy food of any kind . ..

Pledges are barred from dates, use of telephone, or wntJnll letters except to parents.

All pledges shall go through the first three days of the (Continued 011 page 18)

Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship for 1935-1936 The reports of the scholarship standing for the 6rst term of this school year of a number of chapters have been received, and if the reports for the whole Year show the same improvement, Pi Kappa Phi may anoalfi · look forward to a national average above the nat·10 nal all-men's average. Of the twelve chapters rePorted all except two show distinct improvement. gregon State, Iowa State, Rensselaer, Roanoke, South arolina and Stetson are all above the all-men's averages at their respective institutions. Iowa State has shown the greatest improvement with a change of :19 from last year, with Oregon State, Roanoke and 0 llth Carolina following closely with changes of + 15 and Stetson with + 12. Oregon State has the fine standing of + 25. Howard, Mercer and Oklahoma also ~how splendid improvement and with a little more t ard work will be above the all-men's average. All hese chapters are to be congratulated; the chapter offikers and advisers should be on the alert to make and eep the chapter averages above the all-men's averages.

of P; Kappa Phi

Scholarship and Character "Scholarship, except among the definitely superior and the definitely inferior, is a question of character and not of mental quality; in its essence it is the ability to hold rigidly to your task, and to complete it quickly and joyously."

The above quotation appears on aU scholarship reports sent out by the National Interfraternity Conference Scholarship Committee. Obviously this statement applies to the great majority of the students in our colleges and universities. In general, it can be safely assumed that the average student is in college with the stamp of approval of the officials of some high school and he possesses the confidence of these officials and his parents that he has the ability to make a success in college. It would be foolish to claim that the failure of many students to make good in college is due to inability to learn. Rather it is due to the fact that the student loses sight of his main objective and fritters away his time on minor affairs. Following the same procedure in attending a circus would have one miss the main show because of spending all one's time attending the side shows.

It is a real test of character to attend strictly to the main business of getting an education and to withstand the seductive influences of extra-curricular activities with their more immediate rewards. Participation in extra-curricular activities is to be encouraged and should be a part of every student's program, but it requires will power and determination to avoid excesses and overindulgence. The habits one forms in early life generally govern orie's later life, and any student who believes he will be able readily to change his habits after he begins what he considers the serious portion of his life is nursing a delusion. Good scholarship is a habit and implies the ability to enter upon a task and to see it through to a successful conclusion.

The motto of the Pi Kappa ~cholarship Committee is "Knowledge Conquers." To speak with authority one must know, and knowing is a habit acquired through earnestness and seriousness of purpose and perseverance in completing a task begun through hard work and unswerving loyalty to an ideal.

William P. Jacobs Is Acting President of Presbyterian College

William P. facobs, Beta Serves Alma Mater as Administrator

T

O HIS multitudinous and extraordinary variety of responsibilities, William P. Jacobs, Beta, has added those of directing the affairs and activities of his Alma Mater, Presbyterian College of South Carolina. The college sought a business man as a successor to Dr. John McSween and the searching finger rested on the shoulder of this prominent Pi Kapp.

He took over the administration of the college last summer.

Brother Jacobs is 43 years of age. In the years since his graduation from Presbyterian College, 1914, he has managed to participate in enough commercial and social activities to fill several life-times. Throughout he has been a firm adherent of the college and has given it much of his time and attention. His undergraduate days gave promise of his later personal success and interest in the college. He was field captain of the first football team and instrumental in introduction of the Presbyterian College teams to intercollegiate football and baseball. To him was presented the first "Block P" issued by the athletic department of the institution. He was art editor of the first yearbook, was a member of the glee club and orchestra and an active staff member of the college paper and magazine. His writing experience has been utilized and

12

furthered in his later years, as will be noted later. , It was Jacobs who, a .few years ago, thought of the idea of giving a football trophy not to the star who carried the ball but to the lowly blocker who rn~de possible the dazzling and spectacular runs wh1ch caught the spectators' eyes. Every year, as a result of his generosity and thought, the Jacobs Trophy, 9 handsome loving cup, and many smaller awards a~e given to worthy men at the annual banquet held 111 Clinton. The banquet of last fall was attended by rnanY prominent coaches in the South and several All路 American players.

He is familiar with the problems of the college, both from operation and administrative standpoin~s.

He became a member of the board of trustees 111 1928 and has served actively since. His residence in Clinton has permitted him intimate contact with the 1 institution. From 1926-29 he served as president of the Alumni Association of the college.

In the commercial field, his main interest has been advertising. He is president of Jacobs and Co., adved tising, and Jacobs List, with offices in Clinton an New York. In addition to this field, we find him as secretary-treasurer of the Print Cloth Group of Cottofl Manufacturers and the Cotton Manufacturers' AsSO' ciation of South Carolina; founder and executive n manager of Medical Manufacturer's Association; which owns the Easpirin company, and proprietor 0d the Clinton Pharmaceutical company; and founder an Y. secretary-treasurer of the Clinton Building and Loafl: 1 tu which field has brought him into prominence as oned al time president of the South Carolina Building an Loan League, present vice-president of the Southe 35~ ern Conference of Building and Loan Associations and executive committeeman of the U. S. Building an Loan League. co He is a past president of the Chamber of Comrnercf 0 of Clinton, of the Clinton Rotary Club, in both { ac!

0 which he was a charter member; he is a memb~r t ll) the Advertising Club of New York; and is presJdefl. 1' of the Alumni Association of Thornwell Orphatl o

HE death of Dr. Irving W. Fay, Alpha Xi, on February 16, at the age of 72 took from the fraternity its oldest member, from Alpha Xi and the New York Alumni chapter a sympathetic friend, an interested member and ardent supporter, and from S~iety an ideal teacher. The active chapter attended hts funeral in a body, and among the pall-bearers were tnany names from among those of the alumni of the Brooklyn chapter. b Be was born in Natick, Massachusetts on Noveme.r 3, 1861, of Yankee parentage and it was due to thts background that shrewd thinking and rich humor Were ever present during his every day life.

Be received his A.B. magna mm la11de from Har~ard in 1886 and his Ph.D. from the University of Ber~tn in 1897. After a short period of teaching he studied tn Germany under Victor Meyer at Heidelberg and Etnil Fischer at Berlin. He had been an instructor at the following schools before his connections at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn: Montpelier Seminary in Vermont, Belmont School in California, a,nd Ohio University.

Be married Miss Elizabeth Webster Schwefel on August 18 1897 and d10se Flatbush, Brooklyn, as his future home. ' Be was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Chemist Club, the Chemische Gesellschaft, Phi Lambda Upsilon, national honorary chemistry fraternity and a fellow at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.

Several years ago Dr. Fay spoke before the New York Alumni Chapter on the subject, "What Constitutes a Successful Man." George E. Ferguson, who along with Herman C. Fuchs and Albert W. Meisel and other members of Alpha Xi, was among the earliest students of Dr. Fay and who continued throughout the remainder of Brother Fay's life the happy contacts begun in the class room, obtained his Consent to make the talk and later commented: ''The fellows thought that Dr. Fay was particularly adapted to discuss it; they considered him a successful lllan and big enough to talk on such a subject. ... 'the asking ... was a tribute to his character and his own successful life that few men are privileged to exPerience. He was a wonderful teacher, a great gentle~.an, a most sympathetic adviser and a loyal, true ttend."

of Pi Kappa Phi

Dr. lr'l'ing W. Pay

He was a type of man watched closely and listened to carefully. Kindly humor bubbled unceasingly. His thoughts were keen and his statements pointed. It is no surprise that through the years there have accumulated about him legends and stories which have been passed from generation to generation of students whenever group discussion swung to those who governed their class room activities. A few of these will characterize the many and prove revealing as well as interesting and instructive.

When he was about to enter a boot black parlor, he remarked, ''I'm about to purchase five cents worth of personality."

His pet question in chemist~y class was the formula for arsenous sulphide, and he chuckled every time some unsuspecting freshman made an ASS out of himself.

His dislike for off-color jokes or bawdy conversation prompted the following remark, "You need a little chloride of lime on your conversation."

His array of reagent bottles and lecture equipment had to be letter perfect. He would always be the last one out of a laboratory session, remaining to inspect each gas and water jet.

"No matter where you go there's beauty" was even prompted when he observed the then filthy Newton Creek, stagnant with mud, tar and pitch from a fac(Cotztinued on page 30)

Mecca of Alpha Rho and W.V.U. Faculty LINGING to the side of one of West Virginia's scenic mountains and overlooking Cheat Lake is the Hermit's Hut-summer cabin of Brother John C.

Many rushing parties have taken place there, and many pledge pins safely launched, not to mention innumerable teas for the sweethearts and mothers

of Alpha Rho members. It is always with pride that Alpha Rho takes its distinguished visitors out to Johnny's, for as a host he is second to none, and he is famous for miles around for his delicious steak dinners. Johnny came into the fraternity from ol~ Theta Chapter, and was instrumental in getting Pt Kappa Phi established on the West Virginia Univer· sity campus. He is a graduate of the Cincinnati Con· servatory of Music and his large acquaintance of well known artists of today is evidenced by the photograp?5 which cover one side of his Hut, autographed to hJ111 by such well known artists as Richard Crooks, Mrne.

Ernestine Schumann-Heink, and Rosa Ponselle.

There are many articles of interest in the cabin, an oxen yoke that has seen many years of service han~s over the stone fireplace; iron kettles from Virginta slave kitchens rest on the hearth ; Egyptian rugs hang from the balcony, rare old pieces of china stand on the plate racks; and numerous other articles made inter· esting because of their romantic history. Probably the rarest of all things to be found there is indescribabl~--­ the comfort and relaxation one .finds while snugghng in an arm-chair absorbing the cheerfulness and content· ment radiated by the crackling logs in the fireplace.

After a visit to the Hermit's Hut, one feels th~t perhaps after all the world is not such a bad place tn which to live. He has found not only the quietude of the country, but all the latest appliances that are found in the most modern of town homes, and 9 genial and friendly host who is held in highest re· gard by all who know him.

ALPHA XI CHAPTER WINS PUBLICATION AWARD

T

HE decision given by the National Historian, Walter R. Jones, after full consideration of the merits of the various chapter papers which were eligible for the reward, throws the first year's possession of the President's Plaque to the chapter at Brooklyn Poly. Central office is in full agreement with Jones in his selection of the winner. It is a welldeserved recognition and compliment, and congratulations are being extended to Alpha Xi. February of this year ended the first year of competition. Of all the chapter publications but four were eligible for final consideration because of the requirement that at least four issues should be published dur-

14

ing the year. In making his announcement Jones wrotd: "I have torn out many a hair from atop my bea.~ and spent many a sleepless night (so to speak) 1 an effort to judge fairly the relative merits of the eJ(· cellent magazines submitted. A rating, based upO~ format, literary merit, general newsworthiness an alumni appeal leads me to the conclusion that theY compare in the following order: 1. Alpha Xi's W oodbird 2.

JJVho's Who Am011g !he Yotmg .Men of America has him listed in its pages, a recognition obtained by outstanding civic and fraternal work. His vocation follows closely his avocations and indicates the line of his major interest. He is Financial Secretary of the &ottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, located in Decatur, Ga. It was the first of its kind in the country and led to the establishment of many others o.f similar nature throughout the country. Depression and neglect had deprived the hospital of much of its usefulness and threatened its shut-down, when Setze was appointed secretary. His efforts led to its becoming a fullfunctioning hospital unit of substantial standing, clearing a long waiting list for its services and now able to meet demands placed upon it. It is performing beautiful work in straightening mal-formed limbs of children of poor parents, and is widely recognized, both in charitable and professional channels. Among the sources of support he has gained for the hospital are the Sunday movies in Atlanta, the net proceeds accruing to the hospital , and the promotion of charity events in the way of athletic contests.

When the convention meets this August in Seattle, you'll see and hear a lot of the Portland Alumni chapter of Pi Kappa Phi .

Chicago The Monte Carlo party March 7 under the dire~tion of John Even and John Janak was enjoyed by 51 couples. The most capable gamblers proved to be none other than Mrs. Karl Gibbon, Mrs. John Even, Elmer A. Wegner, and Frank Wollaston. It is still on the Q.T. but Dame Rumor has it that a scout from "The Casino" was in the crowd and is now trying to entice John Janak to Paris after observing his control of that great wheel of chance, the roulette. The Capone Interests turned thumbs down on "Cy" Lowe after he dealt "Shoes" Shoemaker two Black Jacks in succession and permitted him to break the bank.

Not to be outdone by the men, Chicago wives have organized a women's auxiliary and have warned us that we will hear plenty from them in the near future. Their first meeting was for luncheon and bridge March 14. Prizes were donated

by Burton Brown. It is planned to continue these sessions monthly.

The stage is all set at this writing for the first annual Easter dance in the LaSalle Hotel, Saturday evening, April 11.

Advance ticket sales and reservations point to a crowd of well over 100 couples.

Tom Winton, chairman of the arrangements committee planning the convention warm-up party, f.ugust 16, promises that it wtll be something that will keep the gang talking, at least until they get to the Rockies. More information will be forthcoming with your pre-convention flashes.

We are expecting Luke Sewell to put the Chicago White Sox right up there with the best of them this year.

Walter Winchell's little helper has dug up the following news pertaining to present and former residents of these environs: On December 30, the news leaked out that Clyde Giller, Upsilon '30, and Dorthy Nagle of Chicago were married June 30, 1935. Clyde is one of our numerous Bell Telephone employees.

Basil Creager, Alpha Theta, and Edwena Remus of Lansing, Mich., climaxed a college romance by getting married December 21 at Elkhart, Ind. Basil is assistant manager of the LaSalle Hotel.

G. L. Nord, Omega, is now located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I. T. (Mike) Almberg, Upsilon, is now permanently located in South Pasadena, Calif.

C. B. Bruse, Omega, is associated with Westinghouse in Pittsburgh, Pa. Ray S. Watts, Upsilon, announces the birth of a daughter, March 14.

Lehigh Valley The Lehigh Vall ey Alumni held their first meeting Sunday, March 29, at the home of Brother Ed Beddall at Tamaqua, Pa. Due to the inclement weather since our installation and up to this time, it was impossible for the fellows from Reading and Tamaqua to ge t together; however, the groups in each town hold meetings of their own. This was the first meeting of the chapter as a whole.

Being the first meeting, we had quite a bit of business to transact such as proposed plans, dues, new members, etc.

As to some of our plans: It is our aim to help our respective active chapters and others in this district in any way possible, such as supporting their social functions, adding books to the

18

libraries, helping in rushing seasons and doing wt,at we can to acquaint prospective students with Pi Kappa Phi and giv· ing whatever advice we can. We also will help make II J{ 4> stronger by doing whatever we can towards its growth and development; and last but not least, to keep instilled in the minds of its members the ideals of II K <I> and that fraternal spirit.

We are also making a strong effort to enlarge our mefll· bership. We have already contacted two brothers who have pledged their support and we now have twelve more to contact and who we hope will join us. Our next meetin~ was set for April 24. The members of the Philadelphia alumni are invited to this meeting, as well as all other Pi KappS who may be in this vicinity.

Although the Lehigh Valley Alumni chapter got off at. a late start, the chapter stands behind the fraternity and Its officers 100 per cent. We extend a warm welcome to all the officers and all members to visit in this locality at any time·

Cleveland High point of the year's activities for the alumni associa· tion of Cleveland was the formal dance on April 11, at th.e Lake Shore Hotel, in Cleveland. Dancing was enjoyed until one o'clock and after the close of the dance a breakfast was served.

Meetings have been held regularly each month with small but consistent attendance. Although the chapter is not as large as others in numbers, this does not prevent the local grouP from enjoying the association provided by the chapter just as much. Business and social affairs are combined each month, alternating between stag and mixed gatherings.

Expansion within the state is a matter of major interest.

The expansion committee has under investigation and studY several prospective institutions of the state in which it would be acceptable to see chapters placed.

Illinois Abolishes Hell Week (Continued from pace 10) period whether they are to be initiated or not.

In houses where it is possible to put the pledges, whether to be initiated or not, through every part of the prografll except the formal initiation, they shall do so.

In houses where this is not possible, pledges will bf excused after the lecture Thursday night from the rest 0 the program.

1 Under this plan, initiation will be allowed at the firsd week of the second semester, at the eight weeks of secon semester, or at the end of the second semester for pledges who were not initiated in February, providing they (t~e pledges) went through the first three days of the Fraternl~ Days. These houses will be allowed a maximum time 0 thirty hours for traditional informal initiation and house work at that time.

Jl Students pledged second semester before this period sha also go through the first three days the same as those whO did not make their grades.

A committee shall be appointed by the President of thf Interfraternity Council to see that there are no infractions .0 the rules and shall serve similarly to the committee for ,n· fractions of rushing rules.

From his very first year at Georgia Tech he has taken an active part in every phase of the chapter's interests.

He has taken unusual interest in helping so lve the numerous chapter problems that arise each year and has been an inspiration to the chapter as a whole as to the real meaning of the word "brother." In addition, he has found time to take an active part in the chapter's ath letics.

tory. It was the reflection of the sunset which he saw in the murky slop.

"Life would be one fine dream if it weren't for this confounded habit of working between meals."

His great love for America is evidenced by his repeated choice of the song, "0 Beautiful for Spacious Skies" at chapel exercises. The faculty members sitting in the second and third rows at chapel offered each other good odds that the next song would be this one.

"Cold water never made a locomotive run!"

The following "In Memoriam" by National Secretary William J. Berry, associate of Dr. Fay's, close friend, and firm admirer, appeared in the Reporter of Brooklyn Poly; and sums up the affection and reverence held for him by all who knew this well-beloved philosopher and teacher: IRVING WETHERBEE FAY FEBRUARY 10,

1936

We shall remember how he ever sought The truth, and how his busy life has been In gracious act and kindly word a clean And shining pattern of the creed he taught.

We shall recall how valiantly he fought Against all things despicable or mean, How, with high courage and a smile serene, He, at the last, set death itself at naught.

We are the richer that he walked the earth And are his debtors for this full bequest Of memories. We loved him for his worth And grudge him not the guerdon of his rest.

In gratitude and reverence that dispel Somewhat our grief, we say "Hail and farewell."

Chapter Wins Award (Contintted from page 14)

"I find that the first two run extremely close. The last two are about equal, but not, I believe, quite up to the standard of the first two. All four chapters, however, deserve warm commendation."

If the award went to a single publication, for attractiveness and appeal few would surpass the Pictorial published by Alpha Zeta Chapter. Rating well in the issues published, not of sufficient number to become eligible, and deserving of special mention is The Epsilonian of Epsilon Chapter, The Alpha Sigman of Alpha Sigma, and The Upsilon Ups of Upsilon.

The last, with the Alpha Mtt Ne1/Js was a leader among those chapter publications which were mimeographed.

A glance at the masthead of The l'r7 oodbird o.f Alpha Xi shows us the names of Donald Diehl, William J. Fitzsimmons and Alfred Tyrill as co-editors.

Honor accrues to these men. It is a printed paper of 6Y4" by 9" size, well written and well edited. The layout is attractively handled in respect to balanced heads and broken columns. The same can be said of The Omegalite, and the only tangible advantage the

30

Alpha Xi paper had over the Purdue may be said to be that of greater news space. The Omegalite is of approximately the same size, but The l'r7 oodbird ran six and eight pages to the customary four of the Purdue publication. It also used engravings, always an attractive feature.

There will be a display of the publications of the chapter at the convention, in company with the award which is to be made this spring. A very attractive de路 sign is now in circulation among the members of the Council for adoption. Winning this award three years in succession will mean permanent possession.

Appointed Chapter Advisers (Contin11ed from page 15)
