Feeling in the mood of an inquiring reporter the other day, we set out to satisfy our own curiosity, our interest being whetted by the fact that the Institute's tests are all under the supervision of our good Poly Man

George W. Alder, '07. He's had that job since 1920. Associated with him is another Poly alumnus, Arthur J. Donniez, '07, who George says is the "tops" both as a technician and as a co-worker. Arthur and George were pals at Poly and this friendship of their college days still endures. Good Housekeeping Institute we learned was established in 1901. It had a staff of one then. Now it employs 40 people, including engineers, chemists

the Institute's tested and approved list carried the names of about 2,000 items. Next we wanted to know how the Institute came to test products. Well, the Institute is not a testing laboratory alone. It is first of all an editorial department of Good Ho11sekeeping. As an editorial department its job is to supply the readers of Good Housekeeping with accurate and practically useful information on the advantageous buying and use of household appliances and other products, and otherwise to help them solve the many problems of running a household. The research the Institute is able to do in its laboratories helps immeasurably to make its magazine articles more in-

formative and more accurate and helpful to its readers. The Seal of Approval of Good Housekeeping Institute was adopted in 1909. It was adopted in answer to a demand on the part of Good Housekeeping's readers for some means of readily identifying the products the Institute had tested and found to be satisfactory. The tests made by the Institute are thorough and extensive. About three months is the time required to make a test of the average product. "Tests" is probably the better word, for in all cases products are first tested technically, and then by "use" under actual working conditions found in the home.

that is the name of the plan which we wish to present to you. In recent "bull fests" among the men of Alpha Zeta this idea originated. It is briefly, to have each chapter make up views of their house and to exchange them with each of the different chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. As soon as a chapter has gathered the full group of pictures they could be mounted in a large frame or put in a special section of "ye old picture album," and this woul.d constitute an excellent source of knowledge concerning the location and type of construction of each house. It could be used as a medium of good rushing due to the fact that a new man upon looking over a house as his future home is greatly interested in the other chapters of Pi Kappa Phi as well as the one by which he is being rushed. Not only would this be of interest to the new man at college

but even more so to his parents. 1 The members themselves could make use of pictures for comparisons of the different types f architecture, in making plans on the building ~P new house, and in recognizing other chapters " visiting them for the first time. It is a plan which would be very easy to. keeP( to date and very inexpensive for when any cha·il moved or rebuilt their house the expense of tal:~ 0 a picture and sending a copy to each chapter "' ei' be very small.

career diplomats are Hugh R. Wilson, Germany; Joseph C. Grew, Japan; and Jefferson Caffery, Brazil. The "are not" diplomats are Joseph P. Kennedy, England; Anthony J. D. Biddle, Jr., Poland; and William C. Bullit, France. The old popular conceptions of diplomacy, the ancient mysterious traditions which have shrouded diplomatic procedure of the past, are being broken down. A new attitude is being developed toward the Foreign Service. In great measure this is due to the recent and rapid development of Foreign Service schools and departments and through other educational means in behalf of the Foreign Service. The effect of this education is gradually becoming apparent in Congress. Although still more interested in building a gargantuan army, navy and air corps, Congress has seen fit to make considerable advancement in budget appropriations and lend a cooperative hand in the interest of the Service. For those who wish a career of intrigue, travel, responsibility-a career respected by the populace, yeal1! even glamorous to the populace, they could do no better than enter upon a career in the United States Foreign Service. Let's understand each other. I do not believe that every person could make a success at diplomacy. Heaven forbid ! However, the Service does take an unusually large number of "differently prepared" men and women. I mean by that that there is no standardized mold for shaping a recruit's training and education. The consul in Timbuktoo finding a market among African natives would certainly not use the same tactics as a diplomat in France working to solve a refugee problem. A well-rounded education is a necessity, yet no (Contin11ed on page 17)

though it undoubtedly is, to read of conditions abroad which compare unfavorably with those we enjoy here, my recent sixmonth sojourn in England and Scotland opened my eyes to the fact that life abroad is not nearly so tough as many popular travel writers would lead us to believe. In one recent best-seller, the aspersions which were Bung all over life in England presented so unbalanced a picture that the unfairness of the thing made me want to cry out! And now that I have this opportunity to do a little crying in public, I feel justified in being just as one-sided as the others, by confining my remarks to some of the details of life in Britain which I recall with admiration and more than a little envy. Some of the most enjoyable aspects of life in England and Scotland arise from the basic honesty and trustworthiness of the people there. These enviable qualities of the average Britisher were brought home to me in a variety of ways. One instance is the fine attitude whid1 prevails toward the law. Over there, a statute is a thing to be obeyed unquestioningly, and without regard to the proximity of means for its enforcement. The policemen ("bobbies") enjoy real respect, and they deserve it; they are always courteous, and obviously take great pride in their responsibility. Gunmen and similarly brazen killers are practically unknown in Britain, and a bobby carries no weapon other than his stick. Traffic regulation and accident prevention is made easy by the

looks after the interests of the hospitals. There are 120 public hospitals in the State and 93 of these are members of the Association. As executive officer of the Association, Brother Rogers carries out duties of association development, public education as to Hospital service and appreciation of the public to that service, and development of a legislative program that will protect the hospital and at the same time better serve those who become hospital patients. An example of the legislative efforts of the Association is the recent proposal that was advanced for the enactment of a state-wide automobile accident hospital insurance bill. This measure, unique in Hospital insurance for automobile accident victims, was drafted by Brother Rogers and after a strong fight in the 1939 session of the North Carolina Legislature was defeated by only six votes on its final reading in the House after it had passed the Senate. This bill proposed to add 30 cents to the cost of each automobile license plate and this money was to be set aside in a separate fund to meet the cost of hospital care for those injured in traffic accidents. Three dollars a day for 21 days would have been paid each accident victim for hospital care. In addition to his duties as executive secretary of the North Carolina Hospital Association, Brother Rogers is Associate Editor of So11thern Hospital, official publication of hospital associations in the following twelve Southern states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia.

There are but few undergraduate and alumni chapters that have not been visited, and these are scheduled for visitation next year, prior to the Chicago convention. What is the significance of all of this travel? Why is it felt to have been necessary? How have your officers been able to make such a complete coverage of the entire fraternity in the short period of one school year? Our present administration has made it a policy to feel the pulse of Pi Kappa Phi by actually visiting a majority of our members. They have felt that in so doing they are in a better position to administrate our affairs in an interfraternity world that, like the business world, is facing varied and new problems every day. Yes, they have found it extremely helpful to be able to visualize those Pi Kapps to whom they write from time to time, for they have met so ,many of them in the course of the year.

Banquet a11d datJce scetJes at cotJclave of District 19, Seattle.

.s't2lg RxpttlJJittn HE ADVENT of the Fraternity Forum in THE STAR AND LAMP finds the executive secretary toeing the line to start the ball rolling on a policy that, it is hoped, will develop an interchange of opinions and ideas among Pi Kapps everywhere through the medium of our own publication. In this department we seek self expression on ideas old and new. The rules are very simple. No material of a controversial nature on subjects such as religion and politics can be accepted. Let's stick to fraternity ideas and problems. Why have we dedicated this space to you? Since the opening of undergraduate chapters last fall it has been my privilege to travel some 15,000 or more miles, from coast to coast throughout these United States, meeting more than half of our entire Pi Kappa Phi membership of close to 8,000 men. I have been deeply impressed by the enthusiasm all have shown in learning details of current policies being followed by our national administration. I found, too, that Pi Kapps generally wanted some medium through which they could be constantly better informed and through which they, in turn, could voice their own ideas. So we introduce this department as the medium of self expression all have asked for. It is launched on its career with the fervent hope that we shall all make of it a truly accurate cross-section of Pi Kappa Phi thoughts and ideas so that each of us, whether officials or not, may do a better job for our fraternity.

This may or may not be a proper axiom, but whether the idea we saw expounded at the District 19 Conclave in February is new or not, it does present a very novel approach to that perennial discussion topic, "Rushing." Those of us who live at a distance from the great

gates which were left undeveloped due to the necessity of adhering to a very short schedule which was already crowded with planned discussions. This lack of time prevented an exchange of opinion on many topics thereby leaving them half completed. We could have used double the time available with profit to all. To the end of preparing an adequate program for such meeting the individual in charge should be assigned at least six months prior to the date of the Supreme chapter. This would allow. him a sufficient time to receive suggestions from the chapters as to the topics they would like to discuss, prepare a program based upon these suggestions, and circulate it among the chapters. I believe this definite outline of the topics to be considered, should go to the chapters sufficiently far in advance of the close of the college year to allow elected delegates to be in possession of the chapters' views on each item. Such a program would assure that each delegate would truly represent his chapter's opinions whether or not he personally concurred in them. General discussion of rushing methods should not be included in the topics for round-table meetings. While it is true that the problem of effective rushing methods is important, a mere description of a method in use at one chapter is of little value to all other chapters. The clinic method as developed at the conclave of District 19 and reported by the executive secretary might prove of real value. With the short time allotted to undergraduate meetings, as has been true in the past, other meetings should not be permitted to conflict. The conflicting of various committee meetings with the round-table was quite noticeable at Jacksonville. Many were extended beyond their appointed times with a resultant shortening of time available to the delegates for discussion. Since the strength of any fraternity is dependent upon the strength of each chapter, I believe that there should be an opportunity at each Convention for chapter advisers and district archons to meet and discuss their own problems, and also meet with the National Council for the purpose of developing a 13

program to aid these officers in giving greater service to the Fraternity. In addition, such a meeting definitely in the program would encourage a greater nu~ber of these officers to attend Supreme chapter sess10ns. The problem of time for an increased undergraduate program is acute. I am of the opinion that definite effort should be made to find the necessary time, since the very existence of the Fraternity depends upon the well-being of each undergraduate chapter, and whatever can be done to aid these units is of prime importance. · AJI of the above, I well realize, are open to much discussion. These are my own ideas, developed after attending four conclaves, representing two fraternities. Why not write your ideas?

f!h.ttptf1t 1/iJitatittn The question of who should make chapter visitations is a potent one and is tied up with the equally important one- how often should they be made? In this first editorial section the central office sizes up the situation as seen from our end of the line. We do not expect complete agreement with our views, but we express them at the outset with the feeling that we had better get our two cents worth in on this page before the membership at large overruns the allotted space. The best starting point seems to be the designation of duties of the executive secretary in the Supreme Laws. There, it is stated that he shall visit each undergraduate chapter at least once in each biennium. While this is a very worthwhile undertaking, we do not feel that this should be a mandatory provision of the Laws. All too often it has proved to be an impossible task. Let's go back to the date in the mid-twenties when the office was first established. About the time our first executive secretary, Brother George Sheetz, was beginning to see changes he wanted to make in the basic procedures of the office, he found it necessary to step out of active fraternity work and into private business. His successor, in 1928, Brother Howard Leake, found his first big job in the standardization of our chapter accounting systems. This accomplished, he had little time to do more than take a quick look around him when the depression hit in 1929, grew worse until 1932 and 1933. Now, for the first time, your present incumbent in this office finds the opportunity to look objectively at the problems of reorganizing the work of the office, setting aside those duties which have been proven superfluous, adding those which we have found to be m1ssmg. He has come to the conclusion that, for the best interests of the fraternity, the position of

executive secretary should be placed on a career basli and divorced from the duties which rightfully fail to district archons and traveling secretaries. He feeh that traveling of a routine nature, involving routine chapter inspections, should be done almost exci.u· sively by those men selected to supervise our M tricts as archons and by a corps of one or more full· time employees known as traveling secretaries. J1e does not feel that the traveling secretaries should bl career men, but rather that these positions should bt used as stepping stones for those of our graduatel able enough to fulfill the qualifications. These 11_1e~ should be prepared to stay with their jobs for a rn 101' mum of two and not more than four years. Thus, the executive secretary would be permitted to spend a greater portion of his time in the oflice. working on programs which need his initiative elfo~ and which cannot succeed without an adequate folf low-up through correspondence. As an example 0 such a program your attention is called to the sta~ made in the STAR AND LAMP last September on th~ Anniversary Corps revision. This program is a ve~ necessary and worthy one but it has Jagged beca~se of inadequate time to give to the details of work 10~ it out. Also, focus your attention on the question the 1939 edition of the Directory of Pi Kappa p/Jl· Here again is a matter which has had to be post· poned. (Details concerning the final program f~r the Directory's publication may be found in th~' issue.) We do not want you to get the idea that yo~r present secretary desires to spend all of his time ~~ the office. His main value to the fraternity is his inti· 3 mate knowledge of our personnel and it would be ' 1 er 1 sad d ay when he would stop traveling altoget · However, if his travels could be devoted mainlY tO those trips promoting conclaves and special meeting' of a similar nature he would be of infinitely greater value to Pi Kappa Phi. ·f 1 In such a discussion as this it would be amiss we failed to point out to you that more traveling h~ been done this year by both the central office sta and the national council than for many years pas~: As short a time ago as late March National preS' 1 dent Bill Berry joined the executive secretary in 'Je~ seven- to ten-day tour which covered 1 900 lll 1 ' p! touched at ten undergraduate chapters, the rece . Seventh District Conclave several alumni chapter> ' 'rJll gave Prexy Bill a chance to meet for the first t1 witt: college presidents, district archons and chapte~ adv1sers he had, up until then, known only throu8 1 0 the channels of correspondence. It is this type ( 0 travel that should fall within the scope of duties the executive secretary ahd the council. Regardless of how you size up this question Pi Kapps everywhere will be awaiting the first fa issue of the STAR AND LAMP to read your answer·

Let's Travel! And Officials See Brothers (Contin11ed from page 11)

If you had shadowed the executive secretary for a short time on his west coast trip, you would have stopped for a week in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pa., there to set the stage for the establishment of an alumni chapter which, even as you read this article, may be undergoing installation under the direction of District Twenty-one's Archon, Bob Hanson of Philadelphia. Next stop-St. louis, Mo. You may have already read in this issue of the STAR AND lAMP of the new alumni chapter in this city. Then, boarding a night train for a sleeper jump to Kansas City, Mo., you would have awakened and been met at the train at seven in the morning by Brother Esthmer Skinner of Alpha Gamma, have met with six or eight Pi Kappas in that city during the day, then entrained for Denver, Colo. Upon reaching this mountain retreat you would again have found a Pi Kapp awaiting you at the station, this time it was Don Rittenhouse and he had planned a luncheon for you at one of the hotels where it was your pleasure to meet a majority of Denver's Pi Kappa Phi population. One of these men, Ray Cramer of Gamma, beat you back to Richmond ; you found he had been transferred there before you returned to the C.O. Sandwiching in a stop on the campus of the University of Wyoming in laramie, you boarded the Union Pacific's Pony Express for the run into Salt lake City. Arrival there was set for a Sunday morning, again at seven, and Brothers Ed Passailaigue and George Westcott of Sigma and Alpha Xi were on hand to greet you and entertain you at breakfast at the University Club. Before leaving this unusual city you had the opportunity to make valuable contacts with administrative officers at the University of Utah. Your next stop was los Angeles, a one week stay. Unfortunately you did not find Past National Councilman Henry Harper in the city but you did have an opportunity to meet with Alpha's famous Theodore Kelly, and past Historian Walt Jones. Bill Wood, Councillor-at-large, was also on hand as were many others in this City of the Angels. Your first undergraduate chapter on this western swing greeted you at Berkeley. You found Gamma doing a good job on a campus the size of some of our southeastern cities. The San Francisco Alumni Chapter toasted you with a dinner meeting down near the bay, re-organized, elected as their new ·president a potent organization man, Brother Bill Prall, Gamma. Here you got a taste of golfing hospitality on the west coast, losing (as usual) to District Archon Ken White and Brother

Bill Grimes, both alumni of Gamma. You wondered if the sheep grazing on the nearby mountain slopei were not right in issuing their "bahs" as you teed off for the nineteenth hole. On the train once more- California to be left be· hind- you missed the Rose Bowl game by eight days. the opening of the fair on Treasure Island by tw0 weeks. Arriving at Albany, Ore., Alpha Zeta Arch?0 J. AI Head met you with other brothers at the train, drove you to Corvallis and that famed house of "many woods" which is Alpha Zeta's home. A week here allowed you to participate in Oregon State's nr~t Interfraternity Day, meet with Phi Delta Tbeta.s former president, Mr. George Banta, Jr., and hiS gracious wife. You observed an initiation, chin?ed with chapter adviser Starker, achieved a new n1ck· name, then, at four thirty on a rainy Monday rnorn· ing, hauled Treasurer Jow Dillow out of bed to wheeze over to Albany in his model A roadster and board a northbound Southern Pacific train for port· land. In the City of Roses dinner was arranged thC first night with Councillor-at-large George AJl.eO Odgers, later followed by an inspiring meeting w1th the Alumni Chapter of Portland. You got to meel Marvin Wilbur's brother who had driven up fr?f!l The Dalles for this session, talked over the interesting job that Marvin has back in Virginia. Seattle was your next point of call. Here many nell' friendships were made and you renewed old ones with the one and only J. Friend Day from Vancouver, B.C., with Horace "Horesey" Granger and others you had met in New York or at the Seattle conven· tion in 1936. You enjoyed the conclave at the Alpha Delta house, inspected the chapter and headed east· ward. This was February 7. You had been out of yo~r office since December 21, you were not due back 10 until March 6. We shall drop the shadow roll here for we feel you have now the general idea of what one of these tours is like. Yes, there are some head· aches, and on occasion you feel you would like take a day or two off and be yourself by yoursel j But when you arrived at a far away station and ~ee that Pi Kapp handshake as you leave your rolh.n8 bedroom- Mister Pi Kappa Phi, there's nothing ]Ike it anywhere. You're bound to come back to your office desk as your executive secretary did, with a re· newed confidence in the future of Pi Kappa Phi, ~ optimistic outlook that cannot even be dimrned b1 the volume of correspondence which you kn°~ awaits your personal attention. Yes, you know tha our fraternity is today stronger than it has ever bee~ before. You want to take your trip over again 11f1 1 look forward to passing on to those you will meel many of the new accomplishments and problems 0 their own national officers in their work with the fraternity.

Those interested in full information, as well as an entire sample examination, may get one free by writing to the Department of State, Washington, D.C., and asking for its publication The American Foreign Service. So we are educated, and one bright day we notice on a typewritten sheet, posted insignificantly on the overcrowded bulletin board of our local post office, the following announcement: "Written examinations for persons properly designated to take said examinations of The American Foreign Service will be held by the Civil Service Commission in Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, St. louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, and Seattle, on September 21, etc., etc." This, in substance, is the message--! would not guarantee it as an accurate quotation. Applications to take this examination must be in the hands of the Secretary of State six weeks before the date of examination. A usual application, it includes such things as birth certificate, five recommendations or endorsements, photograph and the like. Three days are required to write the examination. The schedule, we find, goes something like this: FmsT DAY: 9:00 o'clock to 11:00 o'clock I. General examination. [Intelligence Examination.] 11:00 o'clock to 12 o'clock II. General examination.

Pi Kapp Aids Hospitals to Better Serve (Continu ed from page 7)

A background of varied newspaper work qualifies this North Carolina Pi Kapp for this pioneer position in the hospital field. He began his newspaper work as a proofreader on the Charlotte (N.C.)

a forester's point of view Australia is an ex-

C~· Jngl~ interesting country. For instance, many

/ lforntans consider the eucalyptus a native son but h Ustralia is the original home of this tree. Over five b~~d~ed known species have been segregated there by pi antsts. In Queensland where the writer was ema oyed on research work by the Government there the over one hundred different eucalypts.

The pain is alA Unbearable . the Ustr~lian birdlife is rich and abundant, both with Whic~abve birds and those migratory featherlings laughi~re ~een at certain seasons. The kookaburras or l'hei f g J~ckasses are a feature of the landscape. r avonte stunt, or so it seemed to the writer, was

to congregate in flocks on the trees outside his cabin about four A.M. and howl in unison with ribald laughter. The flying fox, which migrates from the Malay States, is a most destructive pest, ruining fruit orchards and wrecking trees by the sheer weight of their numbers. The lyre bird of Australia is a beautiful creature. It gets its name from the brilliant plumage of its lyre-shaped tail. Other interesting birds are the parrots, cockatoos, emus, black swans, pelicans and rosellas. Everyone has seen a Teddy bear. Well, the original teddy lives and thrives in Australia under the name of the koala bear. He is an attractive little fellow with rich silver grey fur, a black snub nose and no tail at all. One of nature's freaks is the platypus with its ducklike bill, fur coat, webbed feet and a yen to lay soft-shelled eggs. The kangaroo is synonymous with the land of the Southern Cross and requires no description. The Dingos, native wild dogs of Australia, are destructive brutes similar in many aspects to the American coyote. Huge rock pythons and adders are common in certain parts of the northeastern coast areas. The forester has many woes to contend with in semi-tropical Queensland, one of the most uncomfortable ones being the scrub itch caused by a tiny insect smaller than a pin head . This pestiferous thing lives on the brush just waiting to be picked up with a million or so of its kith and kin imbedding itself in the pores of ones skin so it cannot be scratched off. Misery is the word for it until one is freely anointed with coal oil. Another nice playmate is the bulldog ant about one-half inch in stature with red. hot pinchers and a bulldog grip. Just as unique as the flora and fauna of Australia is the aboriginal. Many people confused the Australian aboriginal with the New Zealand Maori but while the Maori's are a cultured people the aboriginals are primitives, mentally on the par with an eight-year-old white child. They do, however, excel as trackers and were used in the old days to hunt down !!he bushrangers (criminals of the Billy the Kid type, mostly ex-convicts). Otherwise they are just a jump ahead of the stone age and do not fit into modern civilization. Their weapons are the boomerang, the throwing spear and the knulla knulla, a club built somewhat along the lines of a baseball bat. Though the Government and the Missions do much to protect and assist them the aboriginals are dying out rapidly. There remain today but a few dwindling 'thousands.

That Good Old World (Continued from page 6)

to crowding. Well, the ticket is bought for the class desired, and it may or may not be inspected at the entrance to the train platform. Once the train starts, ticket inspection is rendered impossible by the division of the coaches into compartments which extend clear across the car, and do not communicate. There is no time for checking at intermediate station stops, and at one's destination, one simply leaves the train, walks to the platform exit, and there surrenders the ticket. After a few trips like this, with no check on class of travel being made, I happened to voice my curiosity to a station boot-black in Glasgow. He was genuinely shocked at my intimation that anyone might buy a third class ticket, and then deliberately ride first class! On another occasion, I got a pleasant surprise when stopping into a bookstore to buy a Sat11rday Evening Post (priced at 9d., which is 18¢). The dealer said he had none in stock, but that he would gladly obtain a copy special for me, and deliver it to my hotel. He refused my offer to pay in advance, insisting that I simply drop in and pay him after I had received the magazine. There are a great number of worthwhile conveniences and services in the British Isles which are noticeable to the · American visitor. The telephone "kiosks" are a good example of this sort of thing. A kiosk is a 4' x 4' glass-enclosed shelter which houses a public pay-phone. These outdoor telephone booths are located at outlying points which are not served by public store phones. They are to be found at suburban bus and street-car terminals, in parks, and even at intervals along the highways. It is noteworthy that all telephone and telegraph communication is owned and operated by the Government Post Office Dept. Incidentally, the postal service also is impressive. A mailbox always is within easy reach, and is plainly visible due to its bright red color. Collections and deliveries are frequent, and the mail service is absolutely dependable. Return addressing is neither practiced nor urged. Public facilities for transportation are excellent there. Trains maintain fast and frequent schedules. The coal-fired steam engine has been developed very highly, and new express trains like the Coronation Scot, which is to be exhibited at the New York World's Fair, make the 400-mile London-Glasgow run in six hours. Trains in commuting service can average 40 m.p.h., even with frequent stops, because the use of compartments with individual doors opening onto the station platform enables the train to limit stops to an average of 30-40 seconds each. On buses, street-cars, and subways ("undergrounds"), the fare paid varies with the distance traveled, and starts with a minimum of ld. (2 ¢) .

This fare basis seemed to encourage the public's ust of these facilities, particularly for short runs. ~ London, all three systems are owned and operat by the municipal London Transport Board, and thl service and management are both excellent. Ve~ ingenious change-making machines now are beinE installed in London subway stations to expedite tar; payment. A machine is provided for each price 0d ticket; each has slots for penny, six-pence, an shilling coins, and will issue a ticket upon prop~ payment in pennies, or will issue both ticket an proper change if either of the larger coins is inserted· No comments on the pleasurable aspects of lift in the British Isles would be complete without men· 11 tion of the tea drinking habit for which the peoP there are famous. And this fame is justified, {ol every afternoon about 3 o'clock, every white-co!lilf Britisher has his cup of tea-sometimes by itself, but usually accompanied by a few "biscuits" (cookies)· 1 I thought this habit silly, at first, but I soon cat11 to know it for what it really is; namely, a ve~ effective and pleasant way of getting a "lift" in t~' 0 middle of the afternoon. The fact is, many of us the same thing when we slip out of the office for ' "coke," or a cup of coffee. However, there it seJdotli is necessary to leave one's desk, as the afternoon te> ritual is so well established that every office .h~; arrangements whereby tea is brought in at the ! 1 1 0 time. Sometimes the arrival of tea is the signal a brief relax!ltion, or the opportunity to have ~ prearranged discussion, but when a person is reJ busy, he simply takes the tea cup in one hand, an.; 1 "carries on" with pen or pencil in the other .. It 1 11 interesting to note that the British drink IndJa almost exclusively, and I am inclined to believe thll are justified in preferring it to the orange-pekoe an' other China teas which are favored here. tl In closing these brief comments on some of ~~ things which contribute to the pleasure of living~~ England and Scotland, I should like to leave ~cJl reader thinking about the one condition there wn~, may be the most valuable of all. I refer to 111 slower tempo of life, and the consequently grea 1 leisure which the Britisher enjoys. For exatnple, . found that young men in the chemical indust011 having a status similar to my own, reeeive a~!l~l vacations of four weeks, while men with hlg 1. positions and longer service enjoy vacations of P'~· and ~ven six weeks annually. I couldn't help co 1, trasting this to my own vacation of two weeks, a~ J' standard in industry here. The Britisher always d;fltaken time to enjoy his family, his home and gar jJI and the cultural things in life. However controve~s,. this subject may be, it must be admitted that t :. things merit much more consideration than e;.· normally give them in our frenzied technical progr · and accumulation of monetary wealth.

The presence of National Treasurer G. Bernard Helmrich in St. Louis on March 25, 1939, signaled the successful culmin,ation of plans which began definitely to formulate in the minds of Pi Kapps of this area in the early fall of 1938. He had come to present us with our charter as the St. Louis Alumni Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and to take us back in memory to last fall when our efforts to effect an organization first began to bear fruit. Through the courtesy of Brother Joe A. McClain, Jr., Alpha Alpha, we were able to secure the facilities of the lounge of the Washington University Law School for our first meeting, November 17, 1938. Brother Joe is Dean of the University's law School and was chosen by the assembled Pi Kapps as their first presiding officer. Thirteen out of the thirty-four alumni in this area were present at this meeting and decided to sponsor a luncheon at the American Hotel on December 8, to honor those brothers who founded Pi Kappa Phi on December 10, 1904. It was unfortunate that unforseen business engagements held attendance at this luncheon to eleven men but interesting to note that several brothers were present who had not been able to get to the former gathering. Charlotte Alumni File By this time we had determined that our group could continue a very interesting social program under the inPetition for Charter formal organization we had established under Brother Mc·nn' Twenty-nine Pi Kapps of Charlotte N C met for d1• ~ Clain's leadership and without a charter as an alumni chapter. However, we were not sure that a loosely organized group at Thacker's the evening of May 5 and formally orgn~ 0 1 of this type wou ld be ab le to cope with possible assign- an alumni chapter. Petition for a charter from the Na ~ 1 Council was signed and has already been forwarde ments which might from time to time emanate to us from tJf central office. It was thus fortunate that we were able to meet Centr?l Offic~. Thrs meetmg followed an informal dinner held at 1 ~ for a third time on January 3, of this year, with Executive Secretary McCann as our guest of honor.

Alpha

Charleston

In distinct contrast with the decimated chapter of last September, Alpha now lists eleven actives and four pledges . Of this number three brothers, Ernest 1. Godshalk, Jr., Frank W. Ryan, and Russell D. Long, are seniors; John R. Harvin, archon, next year will attend the South Carolina School of Medicine. With one victory and two defeats Pi Kappa Phi finished third in the annual interfraternity basketball tournament. Representatives on the varsity last season were Walker Bates and Cheney Moore; on the freshman squad, champions of the Charleston Scholastic league, were pledges LeRoy Bates and Charles Long. After the conclusion of mid-year examinations Frank Ryan was admitted to Sigma Alpha Phi, the honorary scholastic fraternity of the College of Charleston. Ryan, student assistant in the history department, plans to continue his studies in graduate school. Social activities of the second semester included a postexam houseparty on Sullivan's Island and a delightful allclay excursion to Brother Ashton Boynton's plantation south of Charleston. At present Alpha is industriously planning and eagerly anticipating the spring formal and houseparty. Among alumni recent proud fathers are Henry Viohl, with Henry, Jr., and Willard Reynolds, with a daughter. Congratulations, Henry and Willard! WALKER BATES, Histol'i<lll

Gamma

University of California

During the spring semester Gamma has firmly established itself in its new location on the south side of the campus. Introducing our four newest pledges, Wyatt Fisher of El Centro, who has proved to be a swing addict of the nth degree; John Powers, a transfer from Taft Junior Coll ege, who has been doing good work as a forward on the lowerclassman's basketball team; Elmo Switzer of Pasadena, an industrious lad who roars around in a rasping V-8 and McDougald Nisbet of San Luis Obispo, who shows promise as a pitcher on the freshman baseball team. A dance was held at the chapter house on February 25 in honor of these new pledges. Under the direction of Neil Weatherall the house was completely redecorated to give the appearance of a typical "joint." With appropriate wisecracks written on the walls, cartoons, and candle light, the authenticity of the atmosphere was topped off by an all co lored band of swing artists. By unanimous acclaim this affair was voted one of the most successful social events in the memory of the active members. Another memorable event of the spring semester was the Formal Initiation which was held on March 19. At that time four men were initiated into Gamma Chapter. Those taking the oath were, Charles Hardy, San Francisco, son of Dave

Hardy, Gamma, '12, nephew of Berta Hardy, Gamma, '13; James Moore of Pasadena; Willard Knapp, of Martinez; and Bruce Hellier of Berkeley. Present at the chapter house for the ceremonies were Brothers Theodore Kelley '09, founder of Gamma chapter, and Charles Dimmler '12, charter member of Gamma, as well as several other prominent alumni. Among the pledges, Pledge Charles Peterson has done very well on the freshman crew, having held down the No. 2 slide in the dual meet against the University of Washington. Brother Art McMurry has distinguished himself by placing second in the Pacific Coast ski jumping championships at the World's Fair on Treasure Island. Art is one of tl1e top men of the University ski team and is rated as the outstanding ski jumper in the west. Gamma closes the spring semester with all best wishes to its graduating seniors, Brothers Ken Wheeler, Ben Stotts, Eugene Roberts and Charles Osborne who have all contributed much to the chapter.

Delta

Furman University

You just have to hand it to Delta Chapter, not only for the grandest spring dance that has ever been given, but also for the scholastic and other honors that have been bestowed upon its members, for the five new members, and on and on-but let's begin at the beginning. In February we formally initiated five pledges. They were: Belton Hammond of Spartanburg, S.C.; Thomas Rhodes of Darlington, S.C.; Ray Sawhill of Pelham Manor, N.Y.; and Billy Hughes and Paul Chapman, of Greenville, S.C., undergraduates. Delta acquired a real pledge in the person of Wilburn Rucker. He is a major in the economics department, is an assistant in Economics and Accounting. In the intramural basketball contests the Pi Kapps should have flashed into the championship of the sd10ol, what with Charlton Armstrong, Wilburn Rucker, Walt Stevens, Bill Sandel, Bob Ayers, Euta Colvin, and Frank Rector ringing up goal after goal. However, the schedule was dragged out, and interest waned as March blew in. Interest then turned toward preparation for the spring dance, and when we. say the alumni helped in putting it over, we mean they really did their part and more! Under the guidance of President Wilbur White and Bob Scales the alumni decided a banquet, with all the frills, would be the · thing to have to round out a gala spring affair. Therefore, with the two chapters cooperating, the ball room of the Poinsett Hotel was decorated for dinner at eight and dancing at ten. Master of ceremonies Wilbur White introduced Bob Scales who made a beautiful toast to the Ladies, to whom the banquet and its success were dedicated. Bevo Arnold provided the element of joviality, and Archon Walt Stevens introduced the officers of the undergraduate chapter and their dates. Following the banquet the floor was cleared and the music began. No one needed the suggestion of Wilbur White to "Le's dance, chillun' "! But wait, that isn't all, the undergrads enjoyed a delightful intermission party. You can easily see how indebted we are to the alumni chapter, and how much we are counting on them to aid us in our summer and fall rushing. "You can't keep a good man down" is the saying, but Delta says, "You can't keep good men down." Just listen: Brother Bill Anderson and Pledges Frank Rector and Wilmont Spires were selected to the Furman representation of the lJV ho' s lJV ho in American U11iversities and Colleges ( tl1ere were only six selected). Also, Anderson and Spires were elected to the Quarternion, Furman's honorary leader-

ship organization, Rector already being a member. . Brother Milton William captured the junior Oraton~ medal and was a finalist in the Intercollegiate State cont. Not being satisfied with this, he won tl1e Calhoun Qrato~ at the Grand Eastern Forensic Meet at Winthrop Coil Pledge Rector was a member of Furman's Forensic tea~.~ the All-South Tournaments at Baton Rouge. He is a I"" president of the South Carolina Oratorical Association. ebl' Pledge "Hank" Spires, captain of the Purple's bas 'cl nine, is leading his team-mates toward a state chnr!IP1~ ship, Furman being, at the present time, on top in the fliP!

Zeta Zeta chapter is engaged in intramural softball, and shoJi' expects to begin ping pong. The latest social event was our annual Spring F~rrfl~111 March 31.

Nevin is a junior on the staff of Purdue's daily paper, The Exponent. Lyles is a boxer of ability, having won the Golden Gloves matches here in Lafayette. The annual triad dance which Omega holds with Triangle fraternity and Alpha Gamma Rho took place May 12. It was held in the Purdue Union ballroom with all of the brothers looking their best in summer formals. DICK EDWARDS, Historiatl

Alpha Zeta

Oregon State

Topping the social register at Oregon State for spring term, the Pi Kapp "Premier" marked the closing of a successful year for Alpha Zeta. This dance, our annual formal, depicting the opening night of a huge metropolitan ball, was unique in its decorations and brilliant lighting effects. As each couple entered, their arrival was immediately announced over a public address system. Outstanding events leading up to the "Premier" included Mothers' Week-end from May 12 to 14 at which time our mothers gathered at Alpha Zeta to have fun. and frolic with us, our annual formal member's dinner, and the senior dinner immediately preceding the senior ball. Foremost on the list of spring activities came Campus Week-End, the time of the annual rook-soph beef, junior breakfast, "burning of tlle green.," etc. A goodly number of high school students stayed at the house and enjoyed a real time witnessing the different events. Archon Bill Weir was the man in charge of the junior breakfast and Stan Coates received credit for the publication of the program. The old "senior ride" went into the ash can this year at Alpha Zeta when late in March the rooks instigated what is hoped will be a new tradition. Instead of taking the seniors out one by one into some lonely spot to walk home, they threw a week-end beach party for them. The occasion was a complete success with both classes gaining a closer acquaintance with the other. Replacing Brother Joe Dillow as Captain of Oregon State Rilles, crack drill company, Lewis Knerr led the members of Alpha Zeta in the field of honors by gaining membership to Tau Beta Pi, national honor fraternity in engineering. He was closely followed by Dale "Duck" Doherty who accepted bids to Rho Chi and Kappa Psi, n,iltional pharmacy honoraries, and Bill Stein, the new secretary-treasurer of Kappa Psi. Arrival of District Archon Victorian Sivertz and Mrs. Sivertz here in Corvallis on April 14 heralded the beginning of two days of glorious bull-festing during which an inspection of the fraternity was made by "Vic." The n,ames of four more men may be added to the list of white-diamond men of Alpha Zeta and those of six others: Mel Williams, Joe Ross, Bill Thompson, Jack Laird, Bill Phelps, and Noel Flynn to the scrolls of membership of Pi Kappa Phi.

the house to firm financial ground. The cost of remodeling our house after a lire four years ago has been paid off, thanks to "Doc's" vigilance. His untiring devotion to our welfare is never forgotten.

Alabama Poly

Alpha Iota instituted a plan whereby the member cards of the chapter's alumni might be filled with information to the present date. Something in the nature of an experiment, the return on 100 letters sent to the alumni was forty per cent and seven per cent unclaimed letters. Observation : alumni who have been out of school for some four years or longer responded more efficiently than those who have left or graduated more recently. The chapter has elected and installed its new officers for the present semester: Archon, George S. Hiller; treasurer, Rufus W. Porter; secretary, George J. Coleman; historian, Moyer D. Harris; chaplain, Alex M. Burgin ; and warden, William R. Clanton. Rushing has by no means been neglected at Alpha Iota, for two men were recen.tly pledged. They are Harvey G. Stokes, '44, Veterinary Medicine, and French F. Gunter, '40, Textile Engineering. Alabama Pi Kapps who attended the State Pi Kappa Phi Conclave held in Birmingham in March found it to be

the best yet. The conclave was lent an air of dignity by the presence of William J, Berry, John H . McCann, and R. Lynn Kennett. Scholarship was the theme selected by our national president for his address. Chapter finances and practicable methods for collecting delinquent alumni pay. ments were discussed and a solution for the latter offered by our executive secretary. Rushing was discussed from both the undergraduate and the alumni point of view. District Archon Ed Beason offered his plan for a clearing house to be set up in his office for recommendations on pros. pective rushees from alumn.i all over the state. The dinner dance was conceded to be the most all·round one yet held at an Al abama Conclave, and alumni attending numbered almost as many as undergraduates. Alpha Iota is not to be found trailing with respect to its men of honors and letters. Rufus Porter, Tom Henley, Charles Phillips and Pledge Kenmore are members of Delta Sigma Pi, honorary and professional fraternity for Business Administration students. Brother Porter has just been elected president. George Hiller has been elected to and become vice. president of Rho Chi, national society which promotes the

of Alabama, our chapter firmly believes that n,ext fall, 11 rushing begins formally, will usher in a highly succ& pledging season for Alpha Iota. MOYER D. HARRIS, His1ori.rf

Pledge Ken.more has been lately tapped by Scabbard and Blade and Blue Key. Pledge Powell, a freshman, has been elected secretary of the sophomore class of '42. Wearers of the "A" include Howard Bazemore, John Huff, Jack Adams, and Pledge Kenmore. The chapter has what it believes to be a praiseworthy plan for deferring the expense of a few of its monthly socials. The plan is this : those men in. the chapter who have fallen, due, unfortunately, to their grades, into the scholastical lower one half, which is below the average of the fraternity, are to pay for the social while the scholastic upper one-half will be able to attend the social with the ease of conscience which comes from knowing that one is not having to be troubled with the small matter of "paying the bill." Brothers Felix Jones, '26, and Edwin Jones, '29, are airline pilots for the United Airlines, Boeing Field, Seattle, Wash. Brother Marshal Caley, '33, is an instructor in the Boeing School of Aeronautics, Oakland Airport, Calif. Brother Jacob Moon, '30, and a graduate also of United States Military Academy, is now a captain in the army, stationed at Fort Benning, Ga.

Address

several other outstanding men affi liated with Alpha Lambda. Ernest McCracken, who was treasurer of the chapter during the fall session, is chairman of the Interfraternity Dance Committee, member of the Gym Dance Committee, member of the Executive Council of the Associated Student Body, member of the M Club, a former member of M.O.A.K.S., member of Sigma Theta Pi and of Gamma Sigma Epsilon. He is an Honor Roll student and holds the position of graduate assistant in the Department of Physics. He was also recently elected into Blue Key. The rest of the girls were heartsick when Goldy Henry's fraternity pin went Kappa Delta and dropped out of circulation. He is a senior B.S.C. student from Darling, Miss. A candidate for the state legislature, Ted Russell is an active member of the Y.M.C.A. and a junior in the School of Business and Commerce. Vernon Anderson, freshman football manager, was voted the chapter's outstanding pledge. Warren Cruzen, also a freshman football manager, has been selected Alpha Lambda's next representative to tl1e Cardinal Club. Brother Garner of the School of Medicine will be lost to our local chapter after this session as he goes to the alumni group in Memphis, Ten,n. He has been very active in our work and one of the foremost fighters for our house . Alpha Lambda owes him a big vote of thanks. Alpha Lambda is thankful for the invitation from the alumni chapter in Birmingham, Ala., and Alpha Eta chapter to attend the conclave held there March 24, 25, 1939. Pete Warren, Gus Davis, Ted Russell, and Jimmy Can.field represented Alpha Lambda at the conclave. They report a swell time and brought back much new material that we feel will be very helpful to us. The Mississippi boys met for a private session with President Berry, and the officers from central office along with the district Archon of district 7, and the president of the Birmingham, Ala., alumni . Much work is

expected to be done in preparation for a really big f next year.

Ed Gunnill , our social chairman, has been very successful in planning and executing the chapter's social events. The formal dance fo llowing Junior Prom was outstanding. Due to the efforts of Brother Perc Cummings we were able to have a good band. A considerable number of alumni were with us at that time. We hope that they, and man.y others wi ll be ab le to be with us Soiree week-end. Our representatives on the sports field include Jack D empsey, outfielder on the baseball team, Chuck Kammermeyer, who is a pitching candidate, and the Fox brothers, Pete and Charlie, who are the defense stars of the lacrosse team. On the field interfraternity sports we have Brother Nellis Smith as the mainstay of our tennis team and practically the who le house turning out to play softball. As for unclassified sports we again have the whole house turning out. It seems that Chuck Kammermeyer and Guyon Brightly, both being under the hypnotic spell of spring were negotiating a particularly muddy piece of road in Chuck's car "Ferdinand." As it happened the road was closed and not without reason,

as the blithsome duo soon found out when a three foot hole proceeded to engulf the front wheel. After trying to find horses to pull them out without success Chuck appealed to the house. The boys responded by dashing out to the extremely muddy scene after supper, lifting Ferdinand out of the hole, an.d incidentally changing a few tires while it was thus more or less suspended in the air. The principal occupation of the house of late has been that of pushing the candidacy of Brother Jack Dempsey for Grand Marshal, one of the two major offices at R.P.I. BILL CUMMINGS, Historian

At a recent initiation we had the pleasure of bringing into the brotherhood the followin,g: Sophomores Dick Hicks and George Thompson, and Freshmen Bill Bintzer, Bill Buckelew, Bill Hewlett, and Ernie Rinehimer. Recently the active chapter and the alumni staged a bowling match which was well attended by both groups. Even though the actives took the alumni "into camp," all the participants spen.t a very enjoyable evening. Brother "Pete" Piercy was on the baseball squad until he had the misfortune to break a linger on his right hand. The chapter held an informal house dance Saturday, April 15 which was featured by many new recordings of the current "hits." The entire chapter enjoyed house formal held May 19, 20, and 21. Our social chairman, Verg Groo, made arrangements for this most outstanding event on our social calender.
