JOHN H. McCANN ANY of us have heard of the unfortunate ship's cook who, having been born on February 29, was about to celebrate his first birthday in four years. He baked himself a huge cake, invited the rest of the crew to his party, only to find , as his ship crossed the international dateline, that February 29 was torn from the steamer's calendar. As you

presented to the membership in the Fokromix, he had the pleasure of seeing all alumni present subscribe to the "voluntary dues" ideas contained in this program. Journeying to Greenville, S. C. on December 7, Brothers Berry, Houser, Carroll and your correspondent joined once again in birthday festivities. Here, behind the able leadership of Greenville Alumni's Bob Scales and Delta's Kirk Allen, Jr., more than sixty brothers and ladies partook of Greenville hospitality. Visitors included Brothers Bob Allen, Archon of District two. Frank Kuhn, Charlotte Alumni Chapter Archon, and Jimmy Wilson of Siigma. In addressing the Greenville meeting Brother J . F. Bozard, Delta, dean at Limestone College emphasized the need today for education that goes beyond development of pure intellectualism. He defined forcefully the duty Pi Kappa Phi has in developing leaders whose intellectualism is tempered by a sympathetic understa nding of and appreciation for the deeper spiritual and moral elements of well rounded characters. December 9 brought your secretary to Charlotte, N. C., where he had the unusual experience of listening to an undergraduate and an alumni archon vie for the blame for certain joint plans going haywire. Knowing how often Central Office "gets the blame," he revelled in his new-found security until in informal discussion, the questions of alumni began rapidly flying his way.

Founders' Day was celebrated in many other ways than those related here. Though thirty-six, and thus over the draft limit, Pi Kappa Phi observed this day everywhere with a wholesome vigor and respectful reverence which bespeak a future of progress and distinction in keeping with the heritage of fellowship and mutual trust so intrinsically a part of each of us .

Knoxville Has Gala Affair

Opening the formal season for fraternities at the University of Tennessee, Alpha Sigma Chapter staged a joyous and colorful banquet and dance at the Hotel Andrew Johnson, Knoxville, on December 7, in celebration of Founders' Day. Principal speaker at the banqu-et was Reverend Brother Marshall C. Dendy, Beta, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Knoxville, while Bill Wynne, Alpha Sigma, presided as toastmaster. Short remarks were interspersed here and there by various chapter officers and representatives of alumni groups. The dance was held amid beautiful decorations of gold and white, Pi Kappa Phi colors, with each member wearing the red rose. Special orchestrations of Pi Kapp songs highlighted the musical entertainment by Guy Goodwin's orchestra. After the dance, members and their guests adjourned to the chapter bouse for midnight refreshments.

PI KAPPA PHI SCHOLARS FOR 1940

JOHN R. GERHAROT ALPHA PH\

DR. OUNDERS' DAY, December 10, 1940, saw the addition of nine outstanding brothers to that distinguished group of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars. In order to become a Pi Kappa Phi Scholar an active brother must have junior or senior standing and an excellent scholarship record. Since the maximum number that may be chosen in any one year is nine it is evident that only those having the finest records will be chosen. There were just two Scholars in the first group honored in 1927, and the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1940 constitute the fourteenth group to be given the highest honor our fraternity confers on an active member. During the past fourteen years 104 brothers have become Pi Kappa Phi Scholars.

Ch,airman o/ Sc/w/arjkip Committee Generally a Pi Kappa Phi Scholar is not only an excellent student, so far as books are concerned, but he is also active and often a leader in campus extra-curricular a f f a i r s. However, extra-curricular activity has no influence in determining the choice of Scholars for no extra-curricular records are asked for nor obtained until after the choices of Scholars have been made. Following are the records of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1940. Since six of these nine Scholars are now seniors in college naturally their records are complete only for three years but these are sufficient to indicate the fine leadership qualities of these Scholars.

Brother Bumbarger, a senior at Davidson College, is active in studen: publication work and is president o the Student Publications Board. fie is editor of Scripts 'n Pranks, tb1 college humor magazine, and assistant editor of the Davidsonian, college paper.

study in chemical engineering toward the Doctor of Science degree. The first Philip Morris Scholar, Brother James Workman Culbertson, completed his formal work for the M. D. degree last June at the University of Virginia and is now serving an internship. Brother Culbertson has made an excellent record. On the basis of past achievement, Pi Kappa Phi can be sure that a similar fine record will be made by Brother Catterall. The thanks of our fraternity are due the Philip Morris Cigarette Company whose generous awards are helping some of our best scholars to continue their studies. Regardless of any utilitarian point of view or interpretation, the officials of the Philip Morris Company may feel genuine satisfaction that the money given in these awards will yield untold benefits through the service of these young men to the nation and to their fellowmen. It now becomes the pleasure of the National Council to announce the granting and acceptance of the second $250 award by the Philip

Morris Cigarette Company. Primarily through the personal efforts of National President Berry, Pi Kappa Phi is again in position to aid a deserving brother fulfill his ambitions for further study. Announcement of the possibility of receiving this second grant was made in the May, 1940 issue of the STAR AND LAMP and qualifying Scholars were requested to submit their applications. Having been advised, in July of last year, of our good fortune in securing the award for the second time Dr. Edington was prepared to announce this year's winner at the Twentieth Supreme Chapter meeting in Chicago in August. William Edward Catterall, Omega Scholar for 193 9, was chosen and is now pursuing his Doc. tor of Science degree in chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (Brother Catterall's first "progress report" appears elsewhere in this issue.) (Contin11ed on Page 31)

By W. K. GRAVES Right-An old Spanish doorway in the Inca walls of Cuzca. Below-Native vendors in the Sunday market.

ERU, the home of the ancient Inca, is a land remarkable even . in its geographical division. DiVtded into three distinct parts, it holds within its area a coastal plain, ?ne of the highest mountain terrains m. the world, which is interspersed Wtth fertile valleys, and an eastern section of dense and steaming jungle land. With the exception of a few streams which make their way down the mountain slopes to the Pacific, the coast, devoid of water, is a desert ~vaste. The Humboldt Current sweeps In from the Antarctic depriving theregion of rain. At an elevation of 3,000 feet, however, the influence of the current is not felt and fruit, flowers and trees spring up and flourish in the elevated valleys. These rapidly thin out at an elevation of 10,000 feet or more. At 14,000 feet and over, only the sparse and struggling grass appears amid the bare and rugged rocks of the region. At 16,000 feet, the mountain glaciers with their

eternal, snow-covered peaks arise and tower into the heavens. East of the Andes the country falls rapidly into the jungle or "montana" region. Here, in their usual profusion, are tropical fruits, flowers, countless species of insects, and the general teeming life of the jungle. Over this entire region--coastal desert, mountains with their valleys, and jungle-the memorable Inca held sway, although he was confined for the most part to the valleys of the high central, or "sierra" region. It is here that Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, lies. Over 300 kilometers in a northwest direction is Cuzco, the ancient site of the vanished Incas. Between the lake and the site runs the continental divide. Here, from a common source, two streams arise. One, falling toward the west, runs a short but swift course to the Pacific shore. The other, flowing in an easterly direction, coursing through thousands of miles

of forest and jungle, unrolls itself into the mighty Amazon before discharging into the Atlantic. In accordance with hoary legend it was from Lake Titicaca that the Sun God caused his son and daughter to be brought to birth. Given a scepter of gold, they were told that where it should disappear into the ground of its own accord, there they were to found their city. In course of time the magic wand, sinking into the soil of a fertile valley, designated the site upon wh ich the ancient city of Cuzco stood. These children of God, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, were the first of the Incas. The descendants of their union hence were not only royalty, but deity as well. The original significance of the word "Inca" is king or emperor. Everything, therefore, was possessed of the Inca and all was brought unto his possession before distribution to the people, although the economy of the state was communal.

Left- The Temple of the Sun as it is today, the fin est example of Inco stone work. Below- A train of llamas in the high sierra. These were the only pack animals of the Inca.

Throughout the land huge storehouses were constructed to keep the harvests of the years of plenty in reservation against ~ose · years when the harvests failed. Every province had to contribute its share to the common store. It is said that one province, being too poor to contribute ought else, made a tribute of lice! A system of trails maintained routes of communication between the various parts of the country. The realm continued to prosper and expand until it became too large for effective administration. And the Incas growing proportionately more numerous, the sons of God fell into the ways of men, and made war one upon the other. It was in the midst of this period of eternal strife that a stranger made his appearance. The "Conquistadores," Pizzaro and his Spaniards, arrived. They conquered and subdued the country. Today Cuzco is but a ruin in the old city. Nevertheless it remains and stands a remarkable monument to two civilizations. A testimonial to old Spain and a memorial to the ancient Peruvian. The foundations of many of the buildings, as well as the wells of the streets, are mute evidence of the vanquished Inca. Some of the stones placed into these structures weigh as much as five tons. As the Inca had no knowledge of the wheel, the means by which these huge masses in varying shapes and sizes were lifted and transported remains one of the anthropological mysteries. The mystery is deepened by the fact

that it is known he possessed no tools of harder metal than those made of copper. These stones are cut and fitted together with the precision and exactitude of the cabinet maker. How were they cut? It is alleged by the natives that the jungle possesses an herb which, when placed upon rock, acts as a solvent. A bird, they also say, knows of it and uses it to carve holes in the face of sheer cliffs for her nest. Of all the ruins which mark this lost civilization, the Temple of the Sun is the most extensive and the best preserved. Built in a natural ampitheatre, its walls of stones in uniform size, it was the central point around which the life of the day revolved . Upon its central wall where stood its highest altar, hung a golden disk. It caught and reflected the last rays of the setting run. This was the signal for the rites and religious ceremonies to begin. There is a considerable body of evidence to the effect that

the dominant note and the most pow· erful force in the lives of the Incas was religion. One cannot help but wonder and speculate. Were these rites symbolic incantations of the practice of mysterious forces through which the priests enabled the expir· ing deity, expressed in the failing light, to achieve resurrection on the morrow? We do not know. But in keeping with humanity around the world, in every time, some such idea is 1 me undoubtedly lay behind it all. Pi High above the city itself lay the po fortress of Sachsahuaman. Strategi· thi cally located, it was the main pro· alt tection of the city below it. In all zat probability it also served as the main vo: court of the Inca. It is thought that AN ch: this fortress ante-dates even the Pt< Incas. Some of the stones built into M< its structure are estimated to weigh in a::. much as forty tons! lin

A considerable decrease in the size of our provinces would undoubtedly ease the organizational work of individual chairmen. At the same time it would increase the size of our Alumni Relations Committee to such an extent that coordination of local efforts on national programs would be rendered extremely difficult and slow. Work of alumni in local areas will be most effective as it develops through local initiative and is translated by key men to province chairmen and thus into national policies.

Jointly with the work of organ ization, evidence of keen interest on the Part of all alumni is being felt.

requirements for number of meetings per year should be created. Likewise both organized and unorganized groups should be urged to set up standard committees dealing with such matters as publicity, membership, finances, programs, inter-chapter affairs, reception of new men in the area, undergraduate coordination, and vocational guidance for undergraduates and younger alumni." Realizing that these suggestions are weighty ones be concludes, "I am convinced that, by applying carefully and consistently a more definite control over alumni organizations, we can make Pi Kappa Phi a vital part of alumni lives and, conversely, can secure a wealth of support from alumni far in excess of that needed for financing the work necessary to put these ideas into practice." It is not possible to conclude this article on the alumni program without summarizing still another view recently expressed in response to a question as to the comparative ineffectiveness of fraternity alumni organizations in contrast to the many accomplishments of sorority alumnae groups. The reasons for this contrast were drawn as psychological. By way of illustration it was suggested we mentally follow an imaginary boy and girl through life. The boy, as soon as be is old enough, begins playing with toy trains, routes out his neighbors for a game of "cops and robbers" or "cowboys and Indians." The girl plays with dolls, makes mud-pies, plays at setting up housekeeping and clicks along the sidewalk in a pair of mother's outmoded shoes. There we see the fundamental difference. On the one hand we see the boy seeking adventure; on the other the girl pursues romance. (Continued on Page 20)

HEY are better this year and Such more of them too." was the comment of Purdue's assistant publicity director when he met with the National Historian to decide the winner of the 1939-40 chapter publications award. Eleven chapters entered one or more publications in the contest. However, only eight were eligible for consideration since one of the rules, which requires two or more issues, automatically eliminated The Gammazette, The Alota, and The Epsilonian. This rule was changed from the preceding year, when three issues were necessary for eligibility. The Upsilon Ups were "up" because they came forth with four attractive issues with a good variety of news and ways of presenting it. Especially attractive was their Christmas number with a front cover in color. However, the factor most considered was the clever arrangement of boxes, cuts, and sub-heads. These make a publication attractive and readable, especially when carefully edited and printed on a good grade of paper. Most everything said about the Illinois publication can also be said

about Purdue's Omegalite. In fact, the publications were very similar in size, style, and arrangement, and only one point separated them in the final analysis. It was our opinion that the Omegalite excelled in editorial composition and in method of presentation of news, but was slightly inferior in make-up. The table below gives the results of the judging. Perhaps a comment or two on each of the other ranking publications is in order and may help to improve the publications for 1940 and 1941. The Alpha Zeta News of Oregon State College-good variety of news but weak in sub-heads and boxes; articles should be shorter, peppier, and more colorful.

Fifteen years later, August 21, 1940, this time with lake breezes cooling late summer days, another Supreme Chapter, the Twentieth, was called into session by National President William J. Berry at Chicago's Hotel Congress. Once again Pi Kapps thrilled to the

cheery hospitality of Chicago brothers. Under the capable leadership of General Chairman E. Richard (Dick) Blaschke, Upsilon, the Committee on Arrangements had provided amply and well for everything vt!liting brothers could desire except sleep--and as Dick said, "Who plans to sleep at a convention?" Every Supreme Chapter has its business, educational and social programs. Though the Chicago meeting was no exception several interesting innovations served to make this

Convention one of the most produc· tive in our history. The entire first day was given over to the informal undergraduate round table discus· sions under the able guidance of Dis· trict Archon Devereux D . Rice, Iota. In the past these sessions had been scheduled in early hours of ead1 day of the convention.

Consistent with the theme of the Supreme Chapter as the "Old Timers' Convention" emphasis was placed upon the need for an active alumni membership of men who are well informed on fraternity affairs and who will make their opinions and counsel felt to a greater extent than ever before in shaping the future progress of Pi Kappa Phi. The "Living Endowment" program is largely the result of cumulative alumni suggestions, many of which

were gathered· at this Supreme Chapter. Chicago registration records show a new record for the number · of official alumni chapter delegates in attendance. Further evidence of an increasGig y ' · alert alumni was placed before the Convention on August 23 when President Berry announced the granting of an alumni chapter charter to alumni of St. Matthews, S.

Gressette, was presented to the National Council in special session during a recess of the Supreme Chapter. Presentation was made by petitioner Houser, our National Chancellor. He was justly proud of the alumni of his home town as they took this first step toward making their interest in the Fraternity more keenly felt in national undertakings. Installation of this youngest alumni chapter was held in St. Matthews on Founders' Day, December 10, 1940. Brothers L . Marion Gressette, Clarence B. Felder, Jr. , and John L. Woodside were inducted into office as archon, treasurer and secretary, respectively. The ceremonies very apbanquet at propriately followed which toasts to our Founders were given. With the archon-elect presiding the meeting moved smoothly as he paid high tribute to Brother Houser fQr the inspirational leadership he has displayed constantly since his initiation at Zeta Chapter and through years of unselfish service as District Archon and National Chancellor.

In turn, the meeting was placed in the hands . of the Installing Officer, the executive secretary. Brother McCann charged the new chapter with the responsibility of maintaining close contact with undergraduate chapters in their vicinity, reviewed for them the basic organization of our "Living Endowment" program, and placed on their shoulders the mantle of alumni leadership in the heart of a state whose tradition and history are so inextricably bound with our own Fraternity heritage.

Follow them as they grow older. The girl joins her sorority alumnae chapter. She finds a field for self-expression in activities touched by romance; the romance of helping her younger sisters, of aiding the underprivileged, of taking tours with her sorority sisters- all these attract her and she gives freely of herself, her time, her money to them. That she has more opportunity to give than the boy does not necessarily follow, but experience indicates that her desire for romance finds fertile ground in alumnae work. Where, then, has the boy been heading? He's out of school and has joined an alumni chapter of his fraternity. As a matter of a civic club he finds an outlet for his romantic spirit in the same type of activities his sister's sorority is sponsoring. Where is the adventure he seeks? Participation in the work of his alumni chapter should bring to him some sense of the same satisfaction he receives when he sets out to sell a bill of goods in his business. Just as he gets a kick out of building a sale, enjoying the stimulus of crossing swords mentally with his customer, so, as an active alumnus, he can find real stimulation and satisfaction in aiding his brothers and seeing them achieve success in their various endeavors. How can each of us forward this program for an alert alumni body?

All of us have ideas. Let's send them along to National Historian Amick. Some will click; others will miss fire. In the end, with all alumni cooperating, a potentially great power will be harnessed and directed into channels along which Pi Kappa Phi will grow in strength and influence.

standing befor'e the fortress, that Inca had his "throne" erected. It was a highly polished platform precisely chiseled out of solid rock. Below it were two descending smaller platforms cut deep into the rock. Surrounded by his retainers, troops, and the populace, the Inca held his court . . .. where he received reports and information concerning all parts of his empire, and from whence he governed and ruled. With the arrival of the Spaniards, the sun of this civilization set and passed forever beyond the horizon. With it, into the limbo of yesterday, the Inca himself likewise vanished. The temples he had erected to his gods were leveled and the conqueror erected upon their foundations churches and cathedrals to his own. The Spaniard himself, in turn, built well. But in those instances of mingled structure, the superior craftsmanship and engineering skill of the

Indian are undeniably attested. The Castilian, however, attained the high路 est point of artistic accomplishment in decoration of monastery and church. Not a few of these have al路 tars of silver and gold, and many of them even today retain the gold and silver plate of the ancient Spaniard. In the coffers of the church are manY precious stones. Some monasteries in Peru today are as they were 300 years ago. Men come and go but the race lives on. It is doubtful that the advent of the Spaniard made mud change in the essential life tempo of the man born native of Peru. The Indian, or "Cholo," is still tc be seen in his knitted cap, his short red poncho, and his knee-pants, plod路 ding barefooted through the ol.d Spanish gates of the city.

Plans for a Carolinas district convention of all alumni and undergraduate chapters in North and South Carolina at Charlotte some time in the spring of 1941 were formulated at the Founders' Day dinner of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter. Frank Kuhn, who was re-elected archon, was empowered to appoint a committee from the alumni chapter and from Epsilon chapter to work out these plans. Besides Kuhn, other officers of the chapter chosen at this meeting were Ben Ashcraft, vice-archon , and Don Davidson, secretary-treasurer. The principal speaker on the informal after dinner program was Executive Secretary John H . McCann, who outlined the Fraternity's alumni program. The significance of Founders' Day was stressed by Richard L. Young, editor of THE STAR AND LAMP . Bob Allen, archon of District Two, spoke briefly and a report on the Supreme Chapter meeting at Chicago was given by Brother Davidson. 22

The new trophy purchased as the result of action taken by the National Council at Chicago, was presented to Upsilon Chapter at their Founders' Day celebration. We hope this will stimulate to some extent the desire of the active chapters to make more contacts with their alumni through the medium of their chapter publication.

Epsilon

Davidson College

The opening of the school year found a Pi Kapp here and there at almost every one of the faiJ semester's activities at Davidson. Frank Niven, Sam Woodward and Newt Edwards formed a trio of Epsilon footballers. Niven played regularly at end, while Woodward, tackle, and Edwards, center, were outstanding reserves. Aiding the "Wildcat spirit" at the football games was the football band led by Bob Garvey, drum major, and Junior cheerleaders Mac Morris nad Gettie Herring. Pi Kapps holding sports managerships are JuHan McCall as junior football manager, Mac Morris as junior basketball manager, and Jim Saunders, manager of the freshman baseball team.

Iota

Georgia Tech

Having added six new pledges to the group of 26 pinned just after rush week, Iota has set out for a fine year. The new pledges have taken a great interest in the formation of their pledge club, of whi ch Jack Helms, of Charlotte, N. C., was elected president. They have already become active in extra-curricula activities, and, best of all, have developed a lot of interest in chapter activities. This is one of the best pledge classes that Iota has had in quite a long wh ile. A complete list of the new pledges follows: Weary Alexander, John Bannister, Thomas Balkcom, Frank Bonner, Jack Costello, Sterling Eaves, Charlie Fulton, Ed Gross, Jack Helms, Frank Hodge, Ned Jacobs, Henry Jordan, J ack Jordan, Hal Lamb, Baxter Love, George Manning, Thomas McMurray Barr Miller, Hart Mitchell, H. C. Berryman, Arthur Pope' Wallis Simmons, Lofton Smith, Jimmy Suddeth, Georg~ Schroeder, Leslie Tarbutton, Frank Trombetti, Sal Trombetti -Jimmy Minter, Bob Caldwell, Floyd Blair and George Webb~ The rushing committee was composed of John King, chairman, Bob Bush and Russell Turner. Jim Wright and Harry Arthur, and Pledge George Webb established excellent reputations on the gridiron this year: Wright was elected president of the Junior class. Warner Morgan and Bob Weatherford are editor of the Yellow Jacket and busi ness manager of the Technique, respectively. Bob Bush was recently elected to the Bulldog Club, an honorary junior and senior society; Russell Turner was chosen for membership in the Skull and Key, honorary sophomore society; and John King was elected to P i Delta Epsilon, journalistic fraternity. Our 1940 Homecoming was very successful and enjoyable. Although Tech lost the game to Alabama 14-13, a good time was had by all the actives and the alumni. Alumni who visited with us at that time were Frank Bennett, Harris McClannahan, Willis Paulk, Chick Williams, Winchie Prendergast and Thad Coleman. Pi Kapp Phi again won the interfraternity contest for homecoming decorations, which accomplishment gives us another trophy. On December 6, Iota celebrated Founders' Day with a banquet and masqu erade ball at the fashionable Atlanta Athletic Club. Members and pledges, with their dates, attended en masse and helped to make the event one of the outstanding social affairs on the Tech camp us this year. JoHN KINe, Historian.

Lambda

Georgia

Pledged at the opening of school were: Harry Burney and Leonard Brown, Bainbridge; Palmer Hollis and George Williams, Crawfordvi lle; Bob McKibben, Social Circle; Arnold Stark, Dalton; Clarence Vaughn , Conyers; Gene Petty, Tifton; Gus Letchas, Thomasville; and J. W. Roberts, Nassau, British West Indies. Rush Week was closed with a bouse dance, September 23. Our intramural touch football team had a fairly successful season, fini shing third in an eight-team league. Brother Bill O'Quinn and Pledge Tom Watson were selected to play on the all-star team . On October 11, we held our first initiation, at which John Head, sophomore from Albany; Clyde Martin, senior from Toccoa; Curtis Crook, senior from Thomson; John J. Thomas, junior from Athens; Owen Felkel, sophomore from Thomasville; and Linton Crawford, sophomore from Cornelia were brought into the fold. Cliff Kimsey, varsity fullback, really made a fine showing on the gridiron this year, completing his second year as a first

stri ng back. Pledge Gus Letchas is being hailed as the outstanding varsity prospect on this year's freshman squad. He starred in the annual Thanksgiving Day Tech-Georgia Freshman game. November 22, we staged a highly successful Harvest Ball. John Head, chairman of the social committee, and Ham Ver· dery, in charge of decorations, were large ly responsible for the tremendous success of the dance. It was a costume affair -boys were dressed as farmers and the girls donned calico. We presented an engraved loving cup to Miss Jean Garrett who was selected as the "typical farmerette." James Johnson and J . T. Bradbury edited an issue of the Lambdonian in November. It was the largest issue to be presented in some time, with Homecoming as the main theme. In this connection, Lambda was host to over 200 visitors during the Homecoming week-end. Among them were numerous brothers from Iota and many of our own old grads. Dancing to the shuffle rhythms of J an Savitt and his Tophatters, our buffet supper Saturday evening which followed Georgia's thrilling 21-19 victory over Georgia Tech, and an air of reminiscence which prevailed wh~:re old grads got to· getber, all made this Homecoming one of the most enjoyable in many years. Scholastic rankings recently released show Lambda occupy· ing fifth position among seventeen fraternities on the campus. BILLY HATCHER, Historiatt.

Our silver anniversary celebration began with a formal dance and banquet last spring. A large number of Mu's seniors of last year are now taking graduate work at various schools.

Sigma started the semester with many rush parties which included dances, theatre parties, hayrides, a wiener roast, and a stag banquet. This resulted in the pledging of the following ten men : Claude Ccly, Easley; Richie Elliott, Summerton; Pat Hester, Mt. Carmel; Brinson Moorehead, Anderson; J ames Bell, McCormick; A. J . Smith and Tom Harper, St. Stephens; and Buddy Pennell, Everett Ramage and Jack Cook, Columbia. The pledges gave a masquerade dance for the actives on Hallowe'en night. Later the actives honored the pledges with a party at Brother Billy Monckton's golf clubhouse. Sigma chapter held its Founder's Day banquet and formal ball at the Jefferson Hotel in Columbia on December 6 with many alumni brothers from throughout the state i~ attendance. Executive Secretary McCann was also present. Brother Fred Swaffield, Jr., President of the Columbia Alumni Chapter, was toastmaster of the banquet, which was a closed affair with only Pi Kapps and their dates present The dance was open to friend s of the chapter. Archon Fred Quinn led the grand march with Elizabeth Adams, of York, S. C. Other sponsors included Edith Ford, of Loris, S. C., with Olin Stiff, treasurer; Virginia Cox of Florence, S.

The chapter is well under way on what will apparently be a successful year. Practically all of the members and pledges, except those who graduated, came back in September and began making plans for rush week. Rushing was fairly successful and five men were pledged-Ward Busbee, Roy Coggin, Bill Deane, Clarence McNeely, and Johnny Plummer. New initiates this year are Charlie Latham and Bill Quickel. Bruce Halsted and Leigh Wilson scored for us in the honor fraterniti es last term . Bruce, a senior in electrical engineering, made Tau Beta Pi, Blue Key and Golden Chain; and Leigh, a senior in forestry, made Xi Sigma Pi and Upsilon Sigma Alpha. A rather extensive rushing program is planned for this term. We hope to add at least ten more pledges. House improvements scheduled soon include the addition of a game room . Chapter officers, recently elected, are: Leigh Wilson, archon; Graham Coward, secretary; Gregg Gibbs, treasurer; Charlie Setzer, chaplain; Bill Quickel, historian; and Bud Ketchum , warden. W. A. QUICKEL, Historian.

Stetson

The officers for the fall semester were: James Nelson, archon; John Kurtz, treasurer; Ed Hughes, secretary; Hugh Gower, historian; Bob Crowell, chaplain; and Ben Smith, Warden. On September 26, Chi initiated Bob Barnes, Ted Boutwell, Troy Hall, Vincent Stacey, and Sam Stone. Shortly afterwards--on October 2-we initiated Ernest Machen. Preceding the rush season we redecorated the interior of our house and reupholstered th e lounge furniture. Then, getting into the full swing of rushing, we were all delighted with results when the following twenty-two men were pledged :

Ed Friedson, Lawrence DaRiff, Max Stamper, David Gardner, Floyd Jaeggers, Dekle DeLoach, Dale Melching, Frank McDonald, Ralph Stafford, Willard Knight, Jerre Raffield, Harvey Klein, Ray Voss, Herman Turnage, James Nelson, Paul Straub, "Skip" Eicholz, Calvin Williams, "Bud" Smith, GordY Parker, Dewey Hawkins, and Arthur Spoltore. In fall class elections, Chi members were rewarded with the fo llowing offices: President of the Senior Class--Walter McDonnell; President of the Sophomore Clas5---JErnest Machen; Vice-President of the Freshman Class-Pledge David Gardner (unanimously elected). Ed Hu ghes was invited into membership in the Mystic Krewe, men's honorary leadership society. This is the highest honor any Stetson man can attain. Gadi Lawton, who is first mate and past captain of the Mystic Krewe, is president of the Student Association of the University, having been elected to this position in May, 1940. John Kurtz, one of ou r representatives on the Interfraternity Council, was re-elected treasurer of that body. On the athletic field, Pi Kapps were well represented last fall. Heading the list was Troy Hall, recent initiate, who was coach of freshman football . Pi Kapps on the varsity were: Gadi Lawton, Ed Hughes, Vincent Stacey, Ben Smith, Walter McDonnell, Lanier Smith, Robert Gaughan, Ted Boutwell; and P ledges Ed Friedson, Dewey Hawkins and Dekle DeLoach . Pledges Max Stamper, Arthur Spoltore, Lawrence DeRiff, F loyd Jaeggers, Willard Knight, Herman Turnage, Paul Straub, "Skip" Eicholtz, Calvin Williams and Gordy Parker, all freshman footballers, will graduate to the varsity next fall. Just a word of praise is due our pledge group, since their activities have kept the house humming all term. First, theY staged a banquet for the members, at which District Archon Underbill was guest of honor and chief speaker. At Homecoming they collaborated with the active chapter in presenting an elaborate "chicken-in-the-rough" dinner. And finally, they held their own tea dance and invited all pledges of other houses to be their guests. Yes, we're proud of them, one and 路 all . On Sunday, December 8, the whole chapter went to the Methodist Church in a body. Dr. Lyons, pastor, delivered an appropriate sermon in recognition of the chapter and our celebration of Founders' Day. On Tuesday, December lOth, the chapter journeyed to Ruby Lake for a wiener roast, at which Archon Nelson very ably recalled the significance of Founders' Day and brought more forcefully to the pledges' attention the ideals that Pi Kappa Phis seek to attain.

The officers of the fall term at Alpha Epsilon are: Charles Parker, archon; John Ramsey, treasurer; Harley Force, secretary; Eugene Davis, chaplain; Herb Stoer, historian; and James A. White, warden. Going back to the end of last school year, I report the memorable banquet the chapter staged on Mother's Day. All the boys' mothers were feted on that occasion and the mood and spirit that prevailed is one that we will long remember. Immediately following the meal we provided gala entertainment for our honored guests, with Chaplain Gene Davis presiding as master of ceremonies. Dean of Students Beatty presented a talk which disclosed to our mothers what college life really is, as compared to that which is commonlY thought of it at home. Beautiful gifts were distributed among the Mothers signifying, in a small way, our feeling toward th em. Rushing is the life blood of the fraternity . So instead of being overlethargic during the summer months we spent our time in planning and staging parties, fishing trips, picnics, "Juke" dances, and the like for th e enjoyment of those whoi!l

Scholar Reports (Continued from Page 8)

wear and lear on the nervous machinery, as well as the expenditure of intellectual horsepower hours. My first year of graduate study is being devoted entirely to class work in preparation for the written genera l examination and to completing a minor in business and engineering administration. It's quite use less to talk about the class work in chemical engineerin):(, for to mention chemi cal thermodynamics, advanced unit operations, industrial stoichiometry, applied differential equations, and distillation and absorption is just so much gibberish as far as many Pi Kapps are concerned. But to me it's a wealth of scientific training that couldn't possibly be crammed into a four-year-undergraduate course along with chemistry and general engi neering fundamentals, and it's truly a splendid experience and opportunity. Most of the graduate students at the Institute live in the Graduate House, a six-story dormitory exclusively for graduate students which was converted from a former apartment hotel. The accommodations a re very pleasing and comfortable, and the opportunity for association with a fine group of students-who are also a good bunch of fellows-is wonderful. Although a considerable number of the men in the Graduate House are fraternity men, there are unfortunately no other Pi Kapps here to my knowledge. M. I. T . is situated in the industrial community of Cambridge, Mass., facing historic old Boston across th~ wide. Charles River basin. It is conveniently close to Radchffe, S1mmons, Wellesley and the other famous girls' schools in metropolitan Boston, ~nd closer to Harvard than it should be, for there has developed a traditional rivalry between the undergraduate bodies of the two schools that has occasionally mounted to destructive proportions. Favorite recreations of Tee~ men i_nclude sailing the Institute's fleet of dinghies on the rtver basm, touring the historic landmarks around Boston, indulging in New England sea food, skiiing in the hills nearby or up in New Hampshire, and, of co urse, association with the fair young ladies of the aforementioned girls' school s. Mention should be made of the superlati ve record of M. I. T. in intercollegiate football. It is a fact that the school has lost only two games and tied only one in the last forty years. (However, in fairness to the football greats of the country, it should be added that 1940 was the first year in the past forty that M . I. T. participated in intercollegiate football.) The strong influence of the classroom in the affairs of the students at Tech is best illustrated by one of their favorite cheers: E to the x du dx, e to the x dx Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3 point 1 4 1 5 9 ! Square root, integral, u dv, Slipstick, slide rule, M. I. T . ! ! With these brief glimpses into student life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this first progress report of the Philip Morris Scholar is closed. Again, my heartfelt thanks to Philip Morris Cigarettes and to Pi Kappa Phi! 31
