(Ph oto by l/7imton Liflk)

Berry~ ~amel President at ~urume Ckarfet Meeting 1/ew j}ttMiJeni . . . William J. Berry Executive Secretary J. BERRY, Alpha Xi, who had served the fraternity for the last four years as national secretary, was elected national president of Pi Kappa Phi at the Nineteenth Supreme Chapter Meeting, which was held at Jacksonville, Fla., August 16-19. Brother Berry succeeds Albert W. Meisel, who had announced that he would not be available for reelection and who thus ended a four-year period of meritorious service as national head of the Order. Brother Meisel was first chosen as national president at the Seventeenth Supreme Meeting at New York when Brother Berry first became a member of the National Council with his election as national secretary. Other officers chosen to serve during the next biennium: G. Bernard Helmrich, Alpha Gamma, national treasurer (re-elected); GeorgeS. Coulter, Alpha Epsilon, national secretary; W. Robert Amick, Omega, national historian, and Theron A. Houser, Zeta, national chancellor (re-elected) . Brother Berry is well fitted in background and ability to perform the executive duties of the major position of the fraternity. Brother Bill entered Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi as it grew out of the local Psi Sigma, at Brooklyn Polytech, where he is head of the Department of Mathematics. He first assumed a place on the national council at the 17th Supreme Chapter in 1934 when he was elected to the office of national secretary. Prior to this he had served Pi Kappa Phi as archon of district one, as adviser of Alpha Xi chapter, as a member of the New York Convention Committee, as leader of the undergraduate ro.und-tables at the 1934 Supreme Chapter and as an active member of the New York alumni chapter. As a district archon Brother Berry has had no peer in efficiency and continuous intimate supervision of his chapters. As national secretary he has distinguished himself in many ways and has done much to clarify

and speed up the inner workings of the fraternity national affairs. d Brother Berry is a native of New York, bas trav~1e widely, and has an intimate knowledge of our ra路 . rner路 ternity's personnel and problems through the wnu uc路 able contacts grown out of attendance upon five 5h路s cessive Supreme Chapters. He brings to his office : unlimited energies, a desire to press ever forward, ~ lead Pi Kappa Phi to new levels of fraternalism as; consolidates its gains of many years. He greets usth.~1 saying, "If I have any apprehensions (as I assume d high office) they are of my own shortcomings an\\' not of the future of the fraternity, and I here and not pledge to the cause of Pi Kappa Phi all the inte~;s' devotion and loyal service of which I am capable.

This Nineteenth Supreme Chapter, which is Pi Kappa Phi functioning as a whole, must have been an instructive and, I hope, an inspiring sight to the undergraduate delegates who were privileged for the first time to witness it. I trust it has made our brothers from Gamma, Alpha Delta and Alpha Zeta, separated though they may be geographically from the main body of the fraternity, realize that within the bond there is no separation, that their interests are our interests, (Continued on page 13)

Brotherhood Is a Way of Living;

cf_e/:J. cf_ive That Way Retiring President Meisel, in Closing Appeal at Supreme Chapter Banquet, Points to Brotherhood as a Way of Living years the tradition has been handed down that this beautiful bird, the swan, cannot sing, except just before its death. Then it is related, that it mysteriously receives the power to chant a beautiful song. The bird itself has promoted this legend by never dying in public. So the poetic fantasy of the swan's song has been able to persist through the ages, although as far as I know, no one has ever heard it. Should an ex-national president talk? I doubt it, but since your toastmaster has so graciously called upon me, I hope that I, like the swan, may receive the mysterious antemortem gift of song, and sing, or perhaps- say something melodious. While waiting for the mysterious gift let me tell you a story. A lunatic in one of the Florida state institutions was seen the other day pushing a wheelbarrow upside down. An observing visitor asked him why he did not handle the implement in the usual manner. Said the moonstruck one : "Do you think I am crazy? Yesterday I wheeled it the other way and they filled it full of gravel." This story illustrates how little intelligence is required to do the wrong thing in the right way. Under the circumstances, with renewed courage, I shall have to proceed as best I can. During the last few days you have listened to remarks on many fraternity topics, so that there is very little ground which remains uncovered. There is one point, however, which I believe is important enough to emphasize- that is the spirit of fraternity or brotherhood as an ideal, to be worth very much must be translated into action. It is ineffective and valueless unless the members of the brotherhood act like brothers'. This, of course, is true of every ideal. Our ideals or aspirations, without being translated into reality, amount to little more than dreams. Let me illustrate by a concrete example. Shortly after the Great War the nations of the world entered into a solemn association which they called The League of Nations. Their object was to banish forever the spectre of war, and to provide for permanent peace in the world. The leaders of the movement cherished the

highest ideals, and planned a Utopia in which the use of force should be a crime. The elaborate covenant on paper provided various methods by which the na· tions could settle their differences peacefully. rhe nearest it came to realism was to provide ways for con· trolling nations who did not live up to the agreement. What happened is a matter of disappointing history. When the test came there was little or no will among the members to enforce the provisions of the covenan~· The members neglected lamentably to live up to thetr ideals. Selfish interests prevailed, and the ideals repre· sented by the agreement were allowed to lapse. Ideals without action failed, to the great loss of the world . Organized religion offers another apt illustratton· Time and again Christianity has in far too many places displayed the same weaknesses. All of us profess the ( Cominued on page 16)

Albert Avrack, M.D., fell overboard his sailboat into the shoal waters of his island off the coast of Maine, he would surely come up with his shirt full of .fish. Illness forced him to abandon a thriving medical practice in Delaware. He came out of his enforced retirement to accept a post as Chief Medical Director of a small life insurance company. Immediately it launched into what is probably the most ambitious program of expansion of any company in this country. This is said without reservation. In 1935 the United States Life, a .fine old New York institution with a proud record of 88 years of service to policyholders, was deliberately chosen by international insurance interests as the hub upon which to develop a world-wide life insurance organization on a scale unparalleled by any other American company. The venerable old .firm entered into a new era of progress and growth: in the OME PEOPLE

last two years it has established agencies in Cen~ral and South America, the Netherlands, West Ind.teS, Hawaii, the Philippines, the treaty ports of Chtnll, Malay Peninsula and Java; it has set up service offic~s in the key cities of most of the important countrie~ ttl the world-offices which assure policyholder.s efJictent life insurance service in far distant lands, prornpt claim payments on-the-spot, eliminating the delaY characteristic of long distance settlement.

~ho are qualified to make medical examinations for tnsurance companies. Recognition of his work has already come in his appointment as Permanent Chairman of a Foreign Medical Directory Committee by the conVention of the Medical Directors Association of American Life Insurance Companies. We were talking about the Doctor's luck. Recently he and the Executive Vice-President of the Company arranged to go by air to Colombia, South America, to supervise the Company's entrance into that country. ~eather intervened, planes were grounded at Newark a.trport and none of the carefully scheduled connections could be made. Forced to make the best of things, the Doctor took a later plane from Miami-and on it discovered as a fellow passenger Dr. Eduardo Santos, President-elect of Colombia and probably the most influential man in the Republic into which The United ~tates Life proposed to enter as the first foreign life tnsurance company to comply with its rather stringent entrance requirements! Introducing himself, Dr. Avrack discussed his mission with Dr. Santos and was quite captivated by the thoughtful and charming c~urtesy of the Doctor and his wife, who accompanied hun. Dr. Santos expressed a friendly interest in the Company's entry into his country, and altogether the meeting was a highly auspicious beginning for Dr. 1\vrack's visit. During the course. of his tour Dr. Avrack covered some 10,000 miles by air. Flying from Miami direct to Barranquilla, Colombia, by Pan-American Airways, he there caught the Scadta airliner to Bogota in the ?eart of the country. Once there he launched himself tnto a period of intense activity-meeting, appointing and training medical examiners, visiting hospitals, inVestigating health conditions and lining up the entire Procedure connected with the examination of apPlicants so that it would function smoothly along sound underwriting lines. George M. Seiser, Vice:President who accompanied Dr. Avrack, attended to the other arrangements related to the entrance of the Company into Colombia. The two executives, with A. B. Penry, underwriter Selected to represent the Company in "the second rePublic in America," made a tour of the principal cities of Colombia to gain a first hand knowledge of economic and health conditions. Medellfn, Cali, Mani~ales, Barranquilla and Cartagena were visited in turn, and agencies were opened in each, either then or subsequently. They were agreeably surprised and impressed by the bustling business activity and prosperity of Colombia. 'there is no such thing there as unemployment. It is a Country of rich natural resources. While coffee is still the principal crop in Colombia, the government through the Department of Agriculture, is encouraging the growing of sugar cane, rice, cotton, and many ?ther commodities. Gold, silver, platinum, copper, tron, lead, and coal are mined as well as emeralds.

There are extensive oil fields at Magdalena River, 360 miles from Cartagena, which have produced from 13 million to 20 million barrels per year during the past ten years. The whole country is ripe for development. Capital is flying to Colombia from troubled Europe and the Orient and even from the United States in the face of threatened governmental control, for Colombia, disregarding the romantic South American tradition of periodic fireworks, has not had a revolution since 1902. In Bogota, teeming with the inflllX of foreign enterprises, good secretaries and typists are at a premiuma good indication of the speeding up of Colombian economic development which was already pressing forward of its own vigor. Imports from abroad are costly. The Doctor, an inveterate pipe-smoker, relates with horror that a can of Prince Albert smoking tobacco, retailing for 10¢

m the United States, cost one peso twenty centavos (70¢) there. A side trip to Maracaibo, Venezuela, and to the Canal Zone to survey the territory of the Comp~~y 's agency there from sanitary, medical and underwntJOg points of view wound up Dr. Avrack's work on the mainland of Central and South America. From Colombia Dr. Avrack and Mr. Seiser flew t~ Curac;ao, "free port" on the Caribbean and center 0 the Company's activities in the Netherlands w_est Indies. From there they hopped to Kingston, Jamal~~· where they caught the S.S. Sm1ta Rosa for Hattl, Nassau and New York. This was the only part of the trip, since leaving the United States, that they did not cover by airplane. To Dr. Avrack international life insurance is more than a business-even more than a world wide spread· ing of security of home and family. Says he, "I fe~l that as life insurance spreads into foreign countries tt should prove an effective econom.ic stab~lizer,. a cond structive influence for commerCial reCiproCity an world peace."

Resume, in Brief, of the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Supreme Chapter Meeting at Jacksonville, August 16-19

KAPPS assembled greeted by telegraphic good wishes of Fraternity's Godmother, Mrs. W. H. Mixon of Charleston, in whose home so many of our founders' problems were effectively overcome. 2. Alumni round-table discussions introduced and recommended to be a definite part of all future Supreme Chapters. 3. Recorded fraternity as favoring a greater amount of travel on the part of members of the National Council and the central office staff. Recommended that a good portion of the increase in travel be directed toward alumni work. 4. Tendency toward consolidation in the field of national fraternities discussed. Chapter voiced very definite view on subject. Main conclusions set in form of National policies to guide but not bind future Supreme Chapters: a. Pi Kappa Phi takes cognizance of trend toward contracting college enrollments-gives its National Council fullest latitude in handling expansion activities in a contracting fraternity world, provided that in any merger or absorption the name of Pi Kappa Phi shall be retained. Laws placed in effect at Seattle Convention re: possible absorption of small national fraternities highly commended. b. Pi Kappa Phi realizes further that it has very little control over the gradual failure of a chapter in an institution that, likewise, is gradually falling below standard in the educational world. c. In view of the above (b) we go on record once again favoring highest guality in our chapters, even at the expense of a diminishing chapter I

roll. d. We realize that we must further consolidate our national position geographically and hold as our first goal the acguisition of additional chapters in the far west and mid-west. e. In view of above goal (d) we favor increased travel on the part of national councilmen and C.O. staff, the increase to be largely devoted to strengthening alumni organization and ties. 5. Alumni urged that each active chapter begin regularly to publish its own chapter publication, to be Sent to all of its alumni and exchange with other chapters. Recommended that the majority of news there-

of Pi Kappa Phi

in be concerned with activities of the alumni themselves. Should not contain appeals for funds. Recommended that the central office or a special national . committee be appointed for the purpose, supplymg suggested form for these publications where they do not now exist. 6. Recommended that alumni associations be organized for each chapter, to be composed of as many of the d1apter's alumni as possible, to meet at the chapter house at least once each school year, preferably at such a time as homecoming day. 7. That the central office send to each alumnus twice each year a newsletter. similar to the "Spot Shot," but so~ewhat broader m scope containing fraternity news m general. 8. Recommended that the alumni chapters in all parts .of the coun~ry study further the possibilities of a natJOnal educataonal program, setting forth where possible the form this program should take. 9. The re:establishment of the Anniversary Corps as a Revolvmg Trust Fund. This to be further explained and expounded upon in a later issue of the magazine. 10. Revision of the fraternity's Jaws regarding ex~ulsion for .financial delinguency. All men so expelled smce the Saxteenth Supreme Chapter in 1931 to be granted an opportunity to appeal their cases to the National Council. 11. Emergency provisions regarding reduction of charter fees and the handling of monies collected for the STAR AND LAMP Fund continued until the meeting of the Twentieth Supreme Chapter. 12. Authority granted to the Standing Committee on Finance to invest the entire principal of the STAR 路 .AND LAMP Fund as it may see fit for a period not to exceed two years or as long as Brother Ralph W. Noreen, Gamma, is chairman of said committee. 13. The fraternity favors the expansion of the idea of Mothers' and Dads' clubs and urges more chapters to undertake these projects with the view of eventually placing this work on a national scale. 14. Selection of the City of Chicago as the site for the Twentieth Supreme Chapter, the time to be set later at the discretion of the National Council. 15. Election of officers: William J.

Brotherhood Is a Way of Living: Let's Live That Way Ju

Christian ideals. In fact we take them very much for granted. Yet in spite of this situation the Church in many quarters appears to be losing ground, by reason of the failure of its members to translate these Christian ideals into action. Wherever you find a church with leaders and membership who are living up to the Christian doctrines, not merely on Sunday, but in their daily lives, you will see a strong and vital force in the community. On the other hand, discover a church where the leaders and members are lax in their conduct, and you will .find that as an institution for good it is valueless in the town or city where it is located. Social fraternities whose permanent bonds are necessarily based on spiritual ideals, are no exception to the general rule already outlined. The ideals of brotherhood in Pi Kappa Phi, if they are to mean anything, must be translated into a way of living. Pi Kappa Phi has a superb ritual, a just code of Supreme Laws, a .fine manual for the training of our pledges-and yet none of these things alone, or all together, can make our fraternity a vital force in the world, or on the campuses where we are represented, unless our members are pre• pared to and do translate our ideals into thetr way of living in the colleges where we have chapters, and still later in their chosen careers in the outside world; all of the values we cherish will be lost to Pi Kappa Phi. Show me a chapter where both leaders and brothers are living Pi Kappa Phi ideals, not merely on meeting nights but day by day, and I will show you a group of men which is influential and strong. On the other hand, if you will examine the conditions existing in

a chapter which is rated as weak, you will be sure to lind a membership largely composed of those who give only lip service to Pi Kappa Phi ideals, and ra_reiY indulge in the necessary effort to put these ideals tnto practice. . d. In one of the current literary successes, entttl~ · "The Yearling" the story centers about a boy livtn8 in the northern part of Florida, not very far ~roril Jacksonville. Jody, as he is called, is just an ordtna!Y boy, but by reason of the power of the author's pe~ he and his experiences appear exceptionally real an interesting. The author at one point relates an incid~nt 1 concerning the boy building a little water wheel whtd he subsequently installs in a small forest stream. As the wheel takes form he becomes more and rnore excited. Finally, when the current turns the wheel ]le gets his first vision of water power, and a tremendoU~ thrill. By adding more spokes he finds that the whee turns more rapidly and more efficiently. So it is with the stream of fraternity life. We maY think of Pi Kappa Phi as a water wheel on its pleasan~ bank. In our wheel, of course, the spokes represen 'deal· the members. If some of the spokes are mere 1y t istic and do not extend beyond the circumference, the turning of the wheel will be halting and slow; but if every spoke is properly placed and does its part,. we shall have a power for good which cannot be dented. and each of you will experience the thrill that JodY did. Remember the ideals of brotherhood must bC translated into the way of living, to be worth-while· Brotherhood is a way of livil1g. Let's live that waY·

Ideas from Round-Tables ALUMNI

1. A distinct effort should be made to have more alumni at all future conventions. That a way be worked out this biennium to secure delegate representation from each alumni chapter the same as from the active chapters. 2. Discussion relative to advisability of cutti ng the convention to three days in order to make it possible for more alumni to fit it into their vacation schedules. Also suggested that much consideration be given to a goodly reduction in the registration fee for local social functions. It was felt that the $15.00 may have deterred a number of alumni from being present in Jacksonville. 3. Alumni expressed some feeling that the central office should work more closely with certain of the chapters in order to better aid them in the solution of problems.

During the past year he continued to serve as business manager of the Hornet and was also in charge of the sale of all the football tickets for Furman. The crowning event of his entire career came toward the close of the past session when he was elected president of the Furman student body by popular vote of the Furman students. Pledge Rector is twenty years old and is a pre-legal student. His major is history, but he also finds the study of political science and speech to be very interesting. His classroom work is of a high type. He is the recipient of a four-year general excellence scholarship.

Pi Kapps at the University of Washington bri.dged the ~ap between May and · September with a burst of acttvtty. ClosiOg the school year, the northwest brothers f?und themselves faced with two problems, one purely academtc, a.n~ .the .other, •n finding a new house for Pi Kappa Phi acttvtttes 10 ~he future. Grades, of course, went individual ways. The housmg Problem was settled by concerted group action. Led. by ~rch.on Deloss Seeley the c0mmittee scoured the fraterntty dtstnct, eliminated questionable quarters, and within a week after school was out selected a new place. The new ho~se is just one block from the cam~u~, on the rnain boulevard. It has seventeen study rooms , prov1d10g s~ace for a membership near thirty. The outstanding feature ts a combined living and dining room wjth a total length of ninety feet! A real place for a house dance. The house question took only part of the Alpha D~lta boys' time. The first day of May found pledges and actives escorting the fairest of the fair to breakfast as gu:sts of the Wives' club and their alumni husbands. Entertainment highlights were the songs of Edward Palmason, honeyVoiced tenor of the Washington Men's Glee club. Saturday evening May 9, brought same crowd, same beautiful girls for the spring swing session ~t Canyon Park lodge, just north of Seattle. Dying embers 10 a huge firePlace sweet swingin' and a porch overlooking the famous Cany~n pool were m~gnets for nearly fifty couples. The afterdance horse~lay took as its victim the house manager. He suffered a severely dislocated dignity when dumped out of bed by the pledges. • Sunday May 22 brought the long-heralded Mothers Day. In their after-dinn~r meeting, the Mothers elected Mrs. C. E. Divine president, Mrs. Bancroft, mother of Haro~d ~nd Bob, Vice. president and Mrs. Loper, whose son Leslie IS a .star Pledge secretary-treasurer. In a short session, they dectded · f urms · h'10g the new house · t0 meet' again in October to a1'd 10 While the Mothers deliberated, the Dads, led by Mr. Rowland Finch adjourned to the front steps. There they formed their o~n organization, and elected Mr. John Karl· berg to the presidency of the Pi Kapp Pops of Alpha Delta. Pi Kapps themselves elected the following night. DeLoss Seeley was reinstated as archon, Jack Divine was selected secretary and Curtis Onstad historian. Harold Bancroft was rnade Chaplain, and Jack Karlberg elected to the o~ce of ~arden. Lowell Vadman, house manager, was given ~ Unanimous vote of confidence by the chapter. Onstad an Divine were named to head rushing activities .. Seniors donned caps and gowns, passed th: ctgars, and were &one on June 3. The alumni took into thetr fold three outstanding Alpha Delta men. They were Henry Novak, Jack Jeffry, and Martin Franciscovich. We're sorry to see. the_Z g~, but their achievements as members and o~cers 10 . P a Delta chapter will stand as monuments to thetr memones. And with that finals were upon · us, then gone. School out and it J~oked like a long vacation. But there was rush wo~k to do and furniture to move. And with September, and school a fe~ days off it's work, work, work! We e~pect to hear delegate Seeley's ~eport as he moves chaus, P?llshes Windows and wrestles with his luggage. Probabl.Y It wa~ swell in ';ax but it's been fun here for the Washington Pt Kapps. '

Under the leadership of Brother Carl Burtch, Alpha Zeta completed a successful summer's program. Picnics and little get-togethers were given which actives and rushees enjoyed immensely. Many men have been contacted and invited to stay at the chapter house during freshman week. During that week, teo men will be at tl1e house with the rushees showing them around ilie campus and getting them acquainted with the school. Entertainment will be furnished by the boys at the house during tl1e evenings. Extra-curricular activities took a great deal of the time of several of the Pi Kapp men. The two best appoiottnents of the year were taken by Joe Dillow and Stan Kelley. Joe was General Chairman of Campus Week-end, as well as chairman of ticket sales of the junior prom, and Mother and Son banquet, and president of the Managers Cooperative Association. Stan Kelley received the general chairmanship of the senior ball, president of the A .S.M.E., and R.O.T.C. cadet major. Marion Sigovich, archon, was chairman of the interfraternity spring vacation dance, A Thane, and chairman of Decorations for the all-school formal. Honoraries were also represented by the men in the house. Stan Kelley Jed the search for honorary keys this last year by being initiated into Blue Key, service honorary for outstanding senior men, Tau Beta Pi, national honorary for outstanding engineers, and Sigma Xi, top ranking national honor society in scientific research. Hugh Hanna was initiated into Alpha Zeta, national honorary in Agriculture, Hal Gerking into Kappa Kappa Psi, national in Band work, Stan Coates into Alpha Delta Sigma, national honorary in advertising, and Bill Weir was initiated into Alpha Delta Sigma and Mu Beta Beta, a 4-H honorary. In athletics the house did very well, not only in intramural but on the campus as well. The boys were batting right up in there in the biggest share of the sports. These included playing in the touch football league playoff, losing only one game in basketball. Carl Burtch forcing Hal Higgs, three year champion, to set a new foul throwing record, winning the all-school volley ball championship, pacing the Chi Phi's to the championship, and winning the all-school golf trophy. In the campus sports, Chuck Howe won the 145 pound boxing championship, Ward Anderson, three year letterman, was stroke on the varsity crew, Tom Kennedy, rook golfer, Mel Williams, rook sprinter, Dick Cavanaugh, rook tennis man, Carl Burtch, varsity baseball man, Orval Hillison and Clyde Dean major "0" men on the swimming team.

The home of Alpha Mu chapter is situated on the corner of Fairmount and Garner Streets, a ten-minute walk frofll the Main Gate of the campus, in the district known as "Lo· cust Lane." The house has accommodations for 38 men on three floors. The room arrangement throughout is known as the suite system, each suite consisting of two study rooms and on~ bedroom. Each study room is provided with a dresser an two study tables or desks. At present, all tables are being replaced by desks with larger drawer space. Convenient eiec· trical outlets are provided in each room for study and floor lamps. In the bedrooms are double-deck beds. A suite is provided on the first floor with accommodations for two for the use of guests. The social rooms are also located on the first floor. 'fhere is a large living room and a library, suitable for dancing, and a smaller card room. Three meals a day are served in the dining room which is in the basement, overlooking the rear lawn. The kitchen adjoins the dining room. Also in the basement are a storage room, with storage space for trunks, and a recreation roofll with facilities for ping-pong, and other games. . Last spring the graduation class furnished the matertnl for a SO-foot Bag pole, which is constructed of short pipe sections, each fitted into the section below, and the whole welded together.

cumstance, the alternate, Roger Kaller took over the assignment. Joe Gettler was the only other brother to go. Unlike the usual procedure, the chapter has held meetings during the summer months. There was an unusually larger number of brothers and pledges in attendance, due to the fact that many were working about the City, and then there were the summer courses that compelled many to remain near the city. Bill Fendrich practically lived on the Long Island Rail Road, having to commute all the way to Bay Shore every day. Of the graduated seniors of the chapter, Frank Eigner went right to wbrk on the position which had been waiting foe him; Silly Seewagen started his new position with the municipal gas and electric company in Far Rockaway. He obtained this through the school's employment bureau two days after graduation, being chosen from a group of ten candidates. John Peck has been repairing automobiles rather successfully. The return of one of Alpha Xi's Nazi representatives was celebrated on August 19, when Helmut Neumann returned from his year's stay in the "Technische Hochschule" of Berlin, where he completed his studies for the Chemist's degree. During his stay there he visited the many famous old cities of Germany, and has agreed with the other chapter Nazi, that the prettiest girls in Germany are found in the northern sector, and the most beautiful of all are found right here in the U.S.A. Helmut found out that there is no more unemployment in Germany, and that the people are not as bad off as reported. He was surprised at the number of foreign tourists who visit that country to see what it is like now under the new regime.

The climax of Jackson's colorful career was administered him at the Cardinal Key ceremonies during Veishea when Leo Mores, a Pi Kap Cardinal Key man initiated last year, walloped him on the back and marched him through the gateway of the Campanile to signify that he had been chosen as an outstanding man on the campus and a member of Cardinal Key. At the Honor's Day Convocation this spring Jack carried away the highest grades of the college for the past school year. The Alumni chapter presented Jackson with a gold initialed brief case in token of his line work. Russ Johnson, District Archon, made the presentation at the Guest Dinner following the spring dance. This boy who once roamed the ranges around Hurly, S.D., found his prize when he hung a piece of Pi Kappa Phi jewelry upon Miss Dorothy Andrews, who graduated from the University of Minnesota in June. Jackson is now proving his business ability as a successful club agent for Tama and Denton counties. Leo "Toni" Mores, journalism and economics, received a "legal" ducking in Lake LaVerne to signify his graduation from Iowa State this past June. Brother Mores, who hails from Seymour, Iowa, has made a very outstanding record in activities while at Iowa State. He was tapped for Cardinal Key and was business manager of both the louta State Student and the Gree11 Ga11der. He has served on the Student publication board, Veishea committee, and the Interfraternity Council. He was president of Sigma Delta Chi and was awarded a Sigma Delta Chi key foe his work on the humor magazine. As business manager

In addition to his activities, Mores has earned all of hiS expenses while in college. At the Pi Kap portals, he has always been busy. He haS held nearly every chapter office and served as president for more than a year. Mores has joined the Rockwell City Advocate where hC will work as advertising manager. Two Pi Kapps, Charles Shutt, E.E. '26, and Clyde ~ Hutchcraft, Chem.E. '32, received professional degrees 1.0 their respective fields this June. Charles Shutt received hiS Masters degree at the University of Pittsburgh in 1933. Clyde Hutchcraft is Director of Research on Asbestos· cement for Keasbey and Mattison Co., Ambler, Pa. Phil Minges, who came from Michigan State in 1935, n~d recently received his Masters Degree was married to M 1 ~s Ardys Mason of Ames May 1. They are living at Fruitlan ' Iowa, where Phil is doing research work for the college. Dale Swisher, G.E.

It is 10' tended to keep the file of addresses up to date and we ask the cooperation of each member in forwarding promptly anY change of address.

Roy Kottman, A.H. ·41, of Manly, Iowa, was chosen the outstanding Agricultural freshman at Iowa State and received honor for his high grades, almost a straight "A" average, at the Spring Honor Day Convocation. Roy is a Sears-Roebuck scholar and this summer was awarded the Danforth Scholarship for the coming school year. Roy is now president of the Sears-Roebuck students and is quite active in our fraternity. He was initiated this spring. We Pi Kapps are planning a big year. We have our house dance all planned for October 22, Homecoming. It w ill be held at the Country Club in order to have plenty of room for the alums.

Alpha Theta

Michigan State

An election of officers held April 18 resulted as follows: Ned Martinson, archon; William Baird, treasurer; Dean Mahrie, secretary; George McKay, historian; George Wahl, \Varden; Harold Patzer, chaplain; and Claire Jensen, I.F.C. representative. Three men, Bill Zabriskie, George Salisbury, and Parker Gray took formal initiation during spring term, bringing our active membership to twenty-live.

Our spri ng term party was held in the rustic atmosphere of the Forester·s Cabin. The cabin was filled with Pi Kapps, their guests, and visiting seniors from other fraternities and sororities on the campus. Brother Cameron, one of the outstanding freshmen in the house, was elected president of the freshman class, and has been very active in student politics. Brothers Field and Patzer won the runner-up position in the interfraternity tennis tournament and gave us a moral victory by defeating the defending champions and favorites in the semi-finals. A rushing committee composed of Brothers Cameron Field and Gray which was appointed at the end of spring ter~ directed our summer rushing program and made plans for Freshman Week activities. Brothers Martinson and Smith returned from the National Convention with many new ideas for making Alpha Theta more outstanding on the campus. The interior of the house was redecorated during the summer, and improved appearance has been very beneficial in giving prospective pledges a good impression of the house. GEORGE
