seen before, for a book he had not yet written. Oh, he would justify that if it tore the heart out of him. He would write the finest novel he could writehe'd show 'em. Never in his life was he ever to quite get it through his head that he had already arrived. Occasionally his pride rose up and asserted itself, but for the most of the time he remained a humble and wistful boy. All that, and a thousand things more, as Mabel Wheaton tells you about the death of her brother. She was with Tom Wolfe in his last days. He had gone out there to Seattle, to the West, to escape-from what he did not quite know, from all the oppressions of all living. "You can't go home," he had written her from New York on the eve of the journey-on that theme had been writing The Web and the Rock. And now he had been ill for weeks in the Providence Hospital at Seattle. His brother, Fred, who runs the Bluebird Ice Cream Co. in Spartanburg, was out there. But the ice cream business needed Fred, and Tom needed to be looked after during his convalescence from pneumonia. So Mabel Wheaton closed up her house, sent Ralph off to his people in Florida, and went to Seattle. Tom Wolfe had fallen off-50 pounds. When she got him up from the hospital bed and dressed him, she had to fasten up the slack in his waistband with two safety pins in the back of his pants. But it made him look better. He was handsome now. He put his hands in front of his belly. "I can do without that for good," he grinned. And sickness had done something for his skin. The Viennese Jewish doctor from Vienna came in and showed them some X-rays. The pneumonia shadow which had been big as a hat once was down to the size of a dollar now. Yes, Tom Wolfe could go. There were some other X-rays, but that was just a matter of form. It was all right now. Tom Wolfe sat on the edge of his bed and grinned at his sister, "Everything's going to be all right now, isn't it, Mabel?" She said, "Of course, Tom." But first she must go out and rent

the best apartment in the best apartment hotel in town. She demurred on the score of economy, but he would not hear. "I've got it now," he said. "We never have had it, but we're going to have it now." And then she must buy food according to his loving specifications. Huge steaks, loin lamb chops, French bread, Roquefort cheese, he'd tell her how to make a real salad, so much olive oil, so much vinegar, so much pepper, so much salt. "We've never had it, but we're going to have it now." When they .helped him into the automobile, he climbed into the back seat, lay back among his bags. He cocked his hat on the back of his head. "Well, we're out!" he boomed, grinning. But at the apartment he felt weak, had to go to bed. And then, while Mabel Wheaton was busy with the preparation of the food he had wanted, there came a telegram-from Dr. Watts of the Providence Hospital staff, who was away at Bellingham. They had developed and examined those X-rays. "Abscess or tumor of the brain." On the phone she talked to Dr. George W. Swift, the celebrated Western neurologist. "So Watts has taken to diagnosing the brain!" he growled and came over. "Tom," said the doctor, a tall and handsome fellow, who was himself to die within five months, "I've read your books. You are a great fellow." Tom said, "I know you, Doctor. You're a great fellow yourself." "Tom, would you like for me to examine you?" "Sure," said Tom grinning. He knew nothing of the telegram. "But I'm all right. I want to get out of here in a few days and go down to Palo Alto." He had some friends down there, Dr. Russell Lee and his wife, Dorothy. Swift tested Tom's reflexes. "Urn, pretty good," he said. Then he went over and looked out the window at the dark waters ·of Puget Sound. "Tom," he said, fingering his face, "where is your mother?" Wolfe slowly froze. "Why-why,

she's in Asheville, North I don't want to go back Doctor. I've got to go to Palo "Oh, no, you haven't, Tolll· a very sick man. And you've back East to the Johns the finest brain man there night.

verbal and supplementary contract with the Mombi seller herself before she would stand for the picture. Mombi, as it was described to us by English friends living in Barbados, is probably the equivalent of our rootbeer. It is an infusion of some local root thinned with water and sweetened. S~andard equipment for a Mombi seller is a receptacle equipped with a spigot, carried, of course, on the head; two tin cups, without "Lily Cup" linings, used by the immune

customers; and a pail half full of water, carried over the arm. This latter is the equivalent of a sink in which the cups are swished around to insure complete antisepsis after use. The amusing feature of the Mombi ~eller ~as the nonchalant but deft way to whtch she reached into the air turned. on. the faucet, and always go~ the flut? m th~ cup.

Alpha Gamma ERHAPS as a child on a freezing winter night you used to say, "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" before the living-room fire and then run jump into bed before you got cold, but have you ever been so hot that the only way in which you could say your prayers in comfort was to be safely submerged in a cold bath tub? If not, you don't know what real heat is. We simply "drip" all the time, but then that is just part of the fascinating life of being in China. After sailing from Vancouver, August 20, 1938 and having had the opportunity of glimpses of Honolulu, Yokohama, Tokyo and Kobe, we arrived in Shanghai on September 6 to become part of the American Church Mission. That is the name applied to work of the Episcopal Church in China. It covers all the lower Yangtse River Valley from the borders of Eastern Szechwan to the Pacific, with Bishops in Shanghai, Anking and Hankow. This together with the nine British dioceses and the one missionary district of Shensi (supported entirely by Chinese) make up the Holy Catholic Chttrch of China, an integral part of the whole Anglican Communion. Almost as soon as I arrived in the modern city of Shanghai-not at all like the " Chinatown, My Chinatown" which we used to sing-! was put to work studying what I was frankly ' told was one of the hardest languages in the world. I have been here one ' year, I hope to be here for fifty more and this business of learning the language will probably always be difficult, but through every hour of study

one knows that he is coming just that much closer to the love and understanding of the Chinese people and that is really what counts if he is to become a helper and co-worker with the Chinese clergy who are already doing such a magnificent piece of work in the service of Our Lord. Also in Shanghai I had the opportunity of teaching in the theological school of St. John's University, where all the classes are conducted in English. It can truly be said that this institution was the Oiental pioneer in western education and it has made a contribution that one cannot fully describe. Today its enrollment has been surpassed by other schools of higher learning, but it has already provided the statesmen of new China and it will continue to furnish leaders of thorough-going Christian character and integrity. For the past two years, however, St. John's, along with St. Mary's, our fine Middle School (high school) for girls, has been refugeeing (the most

common term in China today) · 'de v• campus of the latter is outS! sett!t cej protection of the International . ]JOI· $2 ment and that of the former IS cbo1 t9 de red by the now-famous soolllucJ! llat Creek, where there was so wal· ate fighting in the early days of the wi~ "i Hence, they have both joined uo 1411 takell r ten other schools and ha~led. g ill t]ll 5e\r classes in a large office but 10 yo' ~0 heart of the Settlement.

In receiving this award Brother Culbertson becomes the first Scholar to benefit from this splendid gift of the Philip Morris & Co., Ltd., Inc., which was presented to Pi Kappa Phi at the Jacksonville Supreme Chapter. The Supreme Chapter decreed that the award should be made to a Pi

All the Scholars were notified and invited to make application last spring and the final selection was made by the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee. Pi Kappa Phi is happy to make this award to Brother Culbertson, and in his reply of acceptance Brother Culbertson writes "I am appreciative of (Co11tin11ed

A complete story on the . device can be obtained frrom a techntcal paper published in the February, 1939, issue of The Journal of .the A_~ronatJtic~l Sciences under the tttle of A Terram Clearance Indicator." I started building the first model in September, 193 7. I installed ~t in our Ford trimotor airplane the Fnday following the birth of my son, Alan

(February 27, 1938). It was demonstrated to executives of our company about a month later. After that a number of other engineers were put on the job. One of these who has contributed greatly to the development is Brother W. H. C. Higgins, III, (Omega, '29). He and I were both chosen Pi Kappa Phi Scholars the same year. By September we had a complete and more polished model which I installed in the United Airlines flight research airplane at Cheyenne, Wyo. I flew east with that ship and took part in the demonstration flights at Newark, N.J., Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Ohio, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City and Denver. This took just two weeks so you see we really covered the ground. I had 69 flights in the United Airlines plane and had 89 flights (102 hours) in our own plane during the experimental work previously. Mr. L. Spenscheid (an older man in our company who had applied for and obtained a patent on the same idea several years ago but who had no part in the actual development) and I wrote the technical paper which appeared in February. I delivered it myself before the American Society of Photogrammetry in Washington on January 16. EDITOR's NoTE. Brother Newhouse received the Lawrence Sperry Award for the greatest contribution to the advancement of aeronautics in 1938. The official announcement from the Institute of the Aeronautics Sciences, reads as follows: "The Lawrence Sperry Award, given annually by the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences to the young man who had made the greatest contibution to the advancement of aeronautics during the year for which the award is presented, has been awarded to Russell Conwell Newhouse of Orange, N.J., a member of the technical (Contimml on page 21)

Fraternity Mourns Two Brothers

JS;.

GUST 20 and August 27 were

indeed sad days for Pi Kappa Phi, for on these dates two of our most active and capable alumni members joined the Chapter Eternal. We pause here to pay tribute to Brothers Robert G. Gilroy, Alpha Epsilon, and Horace A. Granger, Alpha Delta. Though, geographically, these brothers lived as far apart as two persons can in these United States (Miami, Fla. anci Seattle, Wash.) , their lives in the fraternity paralleled one another with striking coincidence. Robert George Gilroy, Alpha Epsilon '24, was known by every Pi Kapp iri Florida as an outstanding fraternity leader, a man of highest purpose and integrity of character. One of the founders of Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Florida, he was graudated there in Law. Following graduation he practiced law in Miami, where he was an outstanding civic leader as well as a leader in his profession. He was a charter member of the Miami Alumni Chapter and was its archon for several terms. Much of the chapter's progressive spirit is the result of Gilroy's unswerving loyalty to his fraternity. He took pardonable pride in the fact that this chapter was the first organized fraternity alumni group in Miami. In addition to memb~rship in Pi Kappa Phi, Brother Gilroy was a member of the Dade County (Miami) and Florida State Bar Associations, the Masons, Elks and the Episcopal Church. His death occurred Sunday, August 27, the result of injuries received the previous day in an automobile collision near Meadville, Pa. At the time of the accident he was with his wife on vacation near his former home at Mars, Pa. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to his widow, two young daughters, and his sister, Miss Agnes Gilroy, who survive him.

Robert G. Gilroy Alpha Epsilon

Horace A. Granger Alpha Delta

Horace A. Granger, Alpha Delta, '29, was an outstanding leader of the fraternity in the northwest. There are but few of our members from the northern tip of Washington to Southern California who' did not know him or know of him. Those privileged to know him came to love this fellow who was doing such an outstanding job for Pi Kappa Phi despite physical handicaps that would have forced less courageous men to give up.

tO I Although professing notD Jtl his nickname, this Alpha ~uti' Kapp knew that those who ~路 him "Horsy" used this ~er~ jlll deepest affection.

an immense industrial and a center-as the site of the l(appa Phi

world's largest grain and live stock market, and the center of the nation's meat packing industry. But far less is known of Chicago as the summer recreation land for hundreds of thou-

sands of vacationists from every part of the country. Situated as it is on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is able to offer visitors every conceivable facility for

matchless entertainment and relaxation. Not only does the cool sparkling water of the lake afford unrivaled bathing and boating facilities, but in addition the climate is itself "air conditioned" by the soft refreshing breezes blowing in off the lake each evening. The Chicago alumni chapter, which will have charge of arrangements, is rapidly completing an entertainment program for convention visitors which for sheer magnitude has never been approached. Here are just a few of the spots already included in the preliminary plans. Personally conducted tours to the Adler Planetarium, the Union stock yards, the Rosenwald Industrial Museum (which features among many

other amazing exhibits an actual coal mine in operation) . Attending an All-Star football game at famed "Soldier's Field"-scene of the "long count" Dempsey-Tunney fight-and major league baseball at either the Cubs or White Sox Park. For thrill seekers only-a tour through Chicago's underworld, the Sicilian and Blackband district, where those who choose may rub shoulders with the few remaining cohorts of AI Capone, Bugs Moran, and John Dillinger. For those who crave the bright lights, there will be dancing and entertainment on the famous Board Walk of the Edgewater Beach Hotel, in the Gold Coast Room of the Drake, and

J1o!l5f the Empire Room of the Palmer s~ And for those who want the topeD musical and dramatic entertaiJI!ll 0 there is to be Grand Opera at the air theater in Ravinia. . add All the above, of course, is tO tO' tion to the regular entertainment~~ gram of the convention proper--~ !ltl~ gram which in itself will be a et to more than expected. 5 Next August Chicago will be arJt greet Pi Kappa Phi-to extend a芦~ hand of welcome to each Pi I<aP~,路e!l' his lady.

Award of the Student Council Key of Michigan State College was made to Brother Avery Cameron in recognition of his work as president of the freshman class. Brother Cameron, besides his work with the class of '41, was out for freshman football and track. Following his initiation, he was elected Pi Kapp athletic chairman and had supervision of the fraternity's athletic program. A nephew of the Hon. W. J. Cameron, well known Detroit minister and so-called radio spokesman for Henry Ford, Avery attributes his taste for good music to the many opportunities afforded him to meet various artists who perform during the Ford Sunday evening hours.

settle down for a new school year we cannot fully appreciate the magnitude of events now transpiring in war torn Europe. We read our newspapers and news magazines, we ljsten to our radio-all the while we keep our tongue in our cheek, for we know things we read and hear must be conditioned by censorship. We wonder what we should believe. Our President has said he cannot expect us to be neutral in thought as well as in action. Another President, in an earliier war, asked us to preserve neutrality of thought. So what are we to do, how are we to conduct ourselves? We have a great heritage in Pi Kappa Phi, a heritage of freedom and honesty of expression. We have a right to think as we please, but today, in a world of censorship abroad and some confusion of ideas at home, we must take care when we express these thoughts. We must guard ever more closely the right of every man to his own opinion, must not allow ourselves to be carriers of propaganda which, though of little apparent moment, is collectively dangerous. It is important for any group of educated men to live up to the social responsibility which is theirs. It is doubly important for us, with our democratic backgound as members of a great fraternity, to do our full share in keeping the opinion of our nation on an even keel. At this early stage of the war, it is difficult to penetrate the haze of facts and propaganda and see just what our part is to be. It would seem best, then, that we be good listeners, that we avoid becoming entangled in heated arguments, if we are to find and clearly define the goal toward which we should all set our sights. Specifically, no one can say how this war may affect Pi Kappa Phi, but there are certain signs that we should heed. In large part these signs point to material things, to factors that bear upon business or financial problems of chapters rather than upon that greater part of our fraternity life which is sentimental, intangible. Let us consider an example. As this is being written we are informed by our news agencies of the closing of tobacco marts in Virginia and the Carolinas; we read

of increased production and employment in the hell"l' industries, of the good year which is ahead farmers in certain sections of the country. All .0 these things affect Pi Kappa Phi, directly or 10{ directly, because year in and year out the influJC 0 · er··c new students into our country"s colleges and untV' sities depends to no small degree upon the econoro~. situations of the parents of boys and girls o_f coc· lege age. We know by experience that economiC fa . tors, national in character, were not felt by the f!a ternity immediately in 1929. The worst depre5 510 ~ years for colleges and fraternities were 1932 an 8 1933. We know also that the recession of 19\ was felt immediately. So watch for the eco~oro~s breaks. Build up chapter reserves, keep them 1~ t· liquid form as possible. This is an occasion for ttgh f ening the belt and observing carefully these signs 0 the times.

f!tMVflntltM ln t!h.lca!~ Chicago-the Windy City-the number twO c~ of the Nation-yes, this is to be the site for our n . 5 convention, the Twentieth Supreme Chapter. In ~e forum we do not choose to discuss the program, cost, or to indulge in Chamber of Commerc~ :; tistics showing "why you should visit this city.' r do, however, desire to present a few ideas for you consideration. The history of our Supreme Chapters is interesting· It tells of meetings in many parts of the counter; 0 in various seasons of the year. In it you can read meetings which turned out to be real dogfigh~· others where business moved in a course of unant· mous approval. One of the most important develo_P" ments recorded was the recognition by the fraterlll~ of the need for an educational program to be )le as an adjunct to the business program. "' This educational program is comparatively ne "t to most fraternities. In Pi Kappa Phi, we refer tob:e in a broad sense as the Undergraduate Round Ta er sessions.

His Potnt of view is well taken and with it he does not ~tand alone. He does not limit this thought to an tncrease in the effectiveness of the program for U~dergrads, but suggests also the gathering of dist~tct archons and chapter advisers for special discusSions. With this suggestion in mind we are reminded by ~ former National Secretary that the Chicago meettng should be the "Old Timers' Convention." Just Who are the "Old Timers"? Well, we mean by those ~f us who have held positions of leadership in the raternity over the years and, for one reason or another, have found it impossible to get to Supreme Chapters for some time. Begin now to plan for ChiJago. Think of the fun it will be to see fellows like ohn D. Carroll, George Driver, Roy Heffner, Henry ~arper! Leo Pou, Dr. A. Pelzer Wagener, Wade Bolt, I M:etsel, Walt Jones, Billy Monckton, Henry Wagener, Elmer Turnquist, Robbie Robinson, Gonzales Quevedo, Forrest McGill, Howard Leake, Joe Cann ton, Ted Kelly, J. Friend Day, and too, we want you 0 rneet again with two of our founders, Harry Mixson and S.i Fogarty. Wtth a real turnout of "Old Timers," with district archons and chapter advisers from all sections of the country-does anyone doubt that we will take up Bob Hanson's suggestion? b Yes, this Twentieth Supreme Chapter is to be the est yet. We realize that some of us have allowed ~e ~raternity to slip into the background, as far as Ce~ptng up with current policies is concerned. In ?tcago we're again going to put in our oars, to sttr up the caldron ourselves, to enjoy and rededicate ~urselves to the joy and privelege of living as Pi appa Phis.

(J s:lu.flJtio-n u'lo-m l?lflvfllttnrl The brothers of the Cleveland Alumni Chapter Pose a question for all alumni to answer. They know, as we all do, that alumni chapters have considerable

of Pi Kappa Phi

ups and downs. They realize that we get tied up in our business and professional lives and sometimes do not get around to alumni meetings as often as we ourselves might desire. So they put it this way: "Should Alumni Chapters pay annual dues on a per capita basis?" i.e., should each chapter be billed so much a man for each man in a given metropolitan area? Their reasoning is that, with such a plan, many of us would be more inclined to come around more often, both because we would have a real financial stake in the work of the chapter, and because we would work just a bit harder to get out and see those fellows who were finding it hard to get to the various functions. The question is left with the alumni. How would you react to this idea?

O'u.'l .Afflrliu.m o-4 _gfllg 拢xp'lflJJio-n ls THE STAR AND lAMP an effective medium through which we may all ha~e an interchange of opinion? Is it effective as a publicity agency in promoting our fraternity's national policies? Last May the Fraternity Forum made its appearance in these pages. Many brothers have found it of real interest. Many others have expressed no opinion. It behooves us to study the various reactions. In doing this we must ask ourselves certain questions. What do we do when THE STAR AND LAMP first arrives? Do we leaf through it hurriedly? Do we turn to our chapter letter? Do we read the interesting feature stories by and about members? Or is THE STAR AND LAMP just another magazine that we do not have time to read ? The editors have the 路 hope that your STAR AND LAMP does mean much to you, that it not only takes you back in thought to those memorable experiences in your chapter house, but that it also keeps you abreast of the current trends within your fraternity and the fraternity world at large. We'd like to hear from you- a pat on the back or a kick in the pantswe can be objective enough to realize that either may be deserved.

After a two-hour cared-for by Christian workers and delay (quite the common thing; no Red Cross money. There are hundreds one ever hurries) we began the last of these-a new camp in the western part of the trip. Almost immediately area houses six thousand people.

I was hunare still bearing up under conditions gry and started to take a piece but was before which you and I would have fortunately warned by my companion, who did all the interpreting, that crumpled and fallen long ago. But to turn to another side of the Chinese custom necessitated my waitpicture-an opportunity came just being until the mayor had returned and fore Christmas for me to make a trip had insisted several times on our eatinto the country and I shall never ing his "most humble food." After forget my first glimpse of life in real, that was over, I thought that the least un-foreignized China. Accompanied that I could do would be to offer him by the wife of· the rector of Zangzok, a cigarette. I tried but he staunchly I left Shanghai early one morning on refused again and again, until at last a little German river boat. We had my friend came to the rescue and said first class tickets, but that doesn't that I must remove the cigarette from mean what it does in America. We the package and present it to him sat in a small nine by twelve cabin with my own fingers. With such forwith some fifty other passengers (all malities finished, we finally enjoyed natives) , drank tea, ate bean curd, our smoke and companionship for the listened to the patent medicine men, remainder of the way. Although it rained all the time we whose wares were absolutely guaranwere i? Zang~~k I ~id have an opteed to cure everything (and they did a good business too) and thoroughly portunity to vtstt a ltttle country village with the American rector. We enjoyed it all. Shortly after noon we reached the went out in another san-pan and visitpoint on the Yangtse which served as ed several de~oted church people, in the destination of this particular boat. whose mud-brtck homes there was illHere we were met by the village ness. An altar was set up with cross mayor, who had heard that some for- and candlesticks, vestments were eigners were on board. We were donned and a simple but impressive transferred into his little san-pan service was held. It was still cold and (row boat) and were then shown all rainy and I was frozen to the bone the courtesies of the Orient. We but I was suddenly put to shame whe~ drank tea and exchanged calling-cards in one home I noticed a young boy (every Chinese has his cards in whom I had seen at church that mornabundance; mine, printed both in ing. He had walked all the ten miles English and Chinese, cost me only 10 through mud and rain-and he did it cents per hundred) and His Honor every Sunday. Such faith, such devoassured us that he would give us the tion. Shortly after the first of February very best of care-and he certainly did. He then had us rowed through for purposes of more intense language the village canal, at the end of which study I was transferred to Soochow we were put on a launch which would about a two hours run from Shanghai

Pi Kapp Churchman in War-Torn China

on one of China's modern railways. There I lived for four months in one of the most picturesque spots that I have yet visited. A city of half a million people, it still has its high wall, which was used for purposes of defense in the days of provincial wars and the gates of which are still closed every evening at sunset. Around it and all through the city run innumerable canals, which thousands of boatmen ply every day bringing merchandise from the country or from the metropolis of Shanghai as the case may be. It is aptly named the "Venice of China." But the most striking features and those which I shall always remember are the many pagodas and temples, towering above the ordinary low-built houses in a majestic and inspiring fashion. Some have beautiful gardens for quiet and meditation, disturbed only by the occasional flopping of a fish in the lily pond, or the entrance of an unobtrusive, tonsured monk to say his prayers. Colored exquisitely, they lend a native beauty that makes an impression, seldom equalled anywhere. Formerly the Church operated a flourishing middle school for boys in Soochow, but like many others it is now refugeeing in Shanghai. The corresponding girls school has temporarily ceased functioning. On June 3 I was sent to quite a different part of China. On a Japanese military transport ship I was brought to Hankow, "the Chicago of China." Because we could not travel by night, the six-hundred-mile journey took us nine and one-half days on the Yangtse. It was a tiring trip of course but that has all been forgotten in the joys of getting settled and down to work with that part of the mission family that is in charge here. At present I am living on Boone Compound in Wuchang (just across the river like Cambridge from Boston) ordinarily Central China College, an interdenominational one in which we have a part, and the Boone middle school which is entirely ours are located here. They are also refugeeing, only in another direction. After several moves they are now practically on the

Burma border with faculty and students still going strong. The campus here and that of St. Hilda's Girls School nearby have both been turned into huge refugee camps, with food and medical aid supplied. School buildings adjoining our Wuchang Church General Hospital, itself carrying on a wonderful work while refugeeing in Hankow, St. Lois' School and the compound of St. Paul's Cathedral have likewise been turned into homes for those who have none. One chapel of the cathedral is being used to store rice, while just outside the sacristy window has been set up a place for obtaining boiled water. Next door is our beloved Order of St. Anne, caring for orphans and crippled people. Yes, these are unusual times, times of difficulty and of crisis, but I wish that you might have been with me this past year to see what has been accomplished. The opportunity of reaching people has been unequalled; everywhere-in Shanghai, Zangzok, Soochow, Wusih, Nanking, Wuhu, Anking, Hankow, Wuchang, the churches are packed with Chinese eager to learn of the Power Who sent these foreigners to help them in their time of need. Day after day our people preach, teach, treat, operate, baptise, confirm, and classes of enquirers and catechumens are full to overflowing. Two thousand years ago Our Lord commanded His Apostles to "go and make disciples of all nations" and today these successors of those Apostles are bravely carrying on. The times may be perilous but they have produced giants and martyrs for the faith and the Chinese people have come to know the gift of eternal life. I am just a beginner, my time is still spent with English-speaking people and with studying the language. I have simply told you of what a newcomer has seen others do. Gradually I hope to have a part. Meanwhile, whether your prayers be before a warm fireplace or in a nice, cool bath, please remember us.

staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories, New York. The award was 'for the development and .first practical application of the terrain clearance indicator.' This device, which indicates by the reading of a dial the height of the airplane over the terrain immediately below- whether that be water, land or buildings- gives reliable indications from 20 feet to 5000 feet. It has been hailed by the airlines as an outstanding contribution to flight safety. "Clearance of an airplane can be measured by 'bouncing' a radio wave from the ship to the ground and back, and measuring the time of transit. This is obvious enough, but nobody had ever done it, because the time interval is too short for direct measurement. The new device accomplishes its purpose by earmarking each wave sent out, so that by a comparison of outgoing and incoming waves the number sent out in the interval is known. Earmarking is by continuously changing the frequency of the transmitter; by the time a wave comes back the frequency is different, and this difference is shown by the reading of a meter. The greater the difference, the longer the transit time, and hence the greater the airplane's clearance over the terrain. So the meter is calibrated in feet, and the pilot can tell at a glance his height over the terrain immediately below. "Mr. Newhouse, who is thirty-two years of age, was graduated by .ohio State University in electrical engmeering in 1929 and received the Master of Science degree in 1930. He then entered Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he took up the development of radio transmitters for airplanes. In 1937, Mr. Newhouse was assigned to the development of a terrain clearance indicator. Utilizing a new vacuum tube and associated circuits, which had recently been developed in the

laboratories, Mr. Newhouse .first constructed a working model. Following extensive flight tests in a Bell Telephone Laboratories' airplane, a number of refinements were added, and the terrain clearance indicator was publicly demonstrated in October, 1938."

Omegalite Best Again (Co ntinued from page 10)

excellent layout, a .fine balance between alumni and active chapter news were outstanding characteristics of this publication according to Glen Sample of the Purdue publicity department who assisted with the judging. The W oodbird was a close runnerup and only in a very few details did it fail to come up to the West Lafayette publication. These Upsilon boys also were right in there .fighting. One issue did not quite come up to par but other than that they may well be proud of their efforts--congratulations boys. The Alpha Theta Starter had each cover design in color but the contents lacked variety and pictures. The editor of the Alpha Mu News deserves a bouquet for his free style and easily read material. Well, much more could be said but in conclusion may I say that now is the time to start making plans for 1939-40. For a good chapter publication which will be of interest to actives and alumni alike, rememberthree or more issues, printed if possible on a good grade of paper, but if mimeographed, colored ink and sketches may be included, illustrative material, plenty of headings and subheadings, occasional boxes, free style, shorter articles and more sub-headings in longer articles, names set out in bold type, some color if not too expensive . and a balance between active chapter and alumni news. Best wishes and good luck for '39 and '40.

Michigan State Begins New Year By Richard Jones Five of the actives at Alpha Theta received their diplomas last June, and have set out on their respective careers. Past Archon Ned Martinson is teaching at Shepherd. Bob Trembath, also a past archon, is working in the Reo Experimental Lab in Lansing. Bill Baird is with the Ferndale Dairy in Grand Ledge, and Jim Ford worked at a Country Club near Detroit during the summer months. George Salsbury has been working at his home in Jackson, but has returned to Michigan State this fall to work on his M.S. degree. Other actives who did not return this term are George McKay, now attending Washington and Lee, and the Hayden brothers, Fred and Joe, who are going to Alma College. New men added to our pledge group during spring term were: Bill Zavitz, Sid

Deming, Russ Monroe, and Milt Brasch. Class elections held last spring saw Pledge Tom Wilson elected treasurer of this year's sophomore class. In athletics, Parker Gray and Bob Field won the runner-up title in interfraternity tennis doubles' competition, while Bob "Lefty" Miller did some nice pitching in several varsity baseball games. The tennis players, Bob Field and Parker Gray, were again teamed up when they were initiated into Mortar and Ball, national honorary coast artillery fraternity. The house has a new coat of paint and a few minor improvements which have added greatly to its appearance. Painting of the interior was a particularly welcome improvement. In the alumni rank Brother Roy Sprague has notified us of the arrival of a daughter in August. Brothers Roy Brigham and Jim Sterling were also visited by the stork recently. Brother Rube Griewe was on hand for commencement last June. He has been with the Army at Ft. Meade, N.D., for the past year. Brother Norman Hurd, '31, Agricultural Economics teacher at Cornell, stopped by the house in August, accompanied by his bride of last June. Brother Samuel F. Eberly of Marion, Ohio, a summer visitor to the house, advised that he is married and is now managing a W. T. Grant store in Marion. Brother Louis W. Raymond, '29, of Bridgeport, Conn., visited us while on his vacation. He is the father of two boys, and is engaged in time study work for a valve manufacturing company. Other summer visitors were Bob Dearing and Orson Bird. The 14th anniversary of Alpha Theta Chapter's installation into Pi Kappa Phi was celebrated last May 9, with one charter mem-

Alpha Sigma Is Mapping Program By George A. Steele When Brother Ed Jones was chosen to be chairman of the Rushing Committee last spring we all made it our big purpose to pledge more men this year than the chapter has ever pledged previously. The members and alumni are making a good start toward this goal, thanks to the very capable leadership o{ Brother Jones. During the latter part of the summer, active and alumni members of the chapter staged a rush party in Chattanooga for men coming to Tennessee in the fall from that city and immediate vicinity. The affair was enjoyable and our dual purpose of making contacts with prospective freshmen and reviving interest and enthusiasm among the members was accomplished. All of us pledged our efforts to the program designed to secure the largest pledge class in the history of Alpha Sigma. Some of the more outstanding members of Alpha Sigma have been elected to im-

portant positions on the campus. Ed Jones is president of the sophomore class. Ed was the winner of the Earl Zwingle Best Freshman Award last year. The Earl Zwingle Award is a silver loving cup presented by the chapter each year to the best freshman in the chapter. Another member elected to an important campus office is Lanas Royster, who is rising vice-president of the senior class. James Seay is a member of the A. S. C. Dance ~ommittee. Kenneth Parkinson is business manager of the Tennessee PtUmer and chairman of the committee on invitations for Barn warm in'. Willard Richardson was president of the senior class which graduated in August. The chapter is proud of the officers who will lead it during the coming months. They are: Ed S. Byrd, archon; Ed Jones, treas· urer; James Seay, secretary; George A. Steele, historian; Lanas Royster, chaplain; Kenneth Parkinson, warden.

A party of approximately thirty persons witnessed the wedding of this happy couple and, as they left the steps of the house, all took part in showering them with rice and good wishes.

The romantic call of the outdoors brought this couple together, as they met on top of a crest in the heart of the Olympic moun· tains where Brother Byrne keeps a watch· ful eye upon part of our National Forests.

Appropriately they are now spending their summer in the same forests wherein they met. Romantically they met; romantically they shall live.
