THE TENTH

OF

DECEMBER

T oDAY is the tenth of December, 1941. I know exactly what I shall do on this day for it will be like so many other tenth's of December through which I have lived since 1904.

A budding red rose will be presented to me in the morning. By nightfall the lovely fragrance of its full bloom will fill the air of my study with precious memories, and I shall sit among them and forget the comfortable pipe I am smoking and the warmth of the merrily burning log fire. My thoughts will warm me as they turn inward, and I shall live once again those yea which saw me born and consecrated at the altar of friendship, nouri from the breast of truth, and tempered in the fires of loyalty. deals which have been bred in my soul since the very moment of will light my way through the maize of human experien · me through the years to this day. At midn and take from the · rose, the thirtyshelf my autobiogra seventh to rest a of December, 1941, will be my thi KAPPA PHI. I revere this Kroeg, Simon Fogarty and Harry Mixs as an idea, born of their friendship for esire to share their idea with other men ay in 1904 I became reat a living entity. I am no stronger or weaker than my Founders and the thousands of men who have followed their footsteps under the light of the Star and the Student's Lamp. I am a way of life.

May every man who shares with me this way of living revere this day. May the tenth of December, 1941, go down in our history a day of honour, a day of reconsecration and reaffirmation of the ideals handed down to us through our rituals. In a world torn with strife and discord may this thirty-seventh birthday bring us renewed faith in our fellow men, renewed strength to face the tasks which lie ahead, and renewed energy and resolution to bring to an ever-widening fellowship of men the goodwill we share. Let us live our Fraternity as it lives within us.-John H. McCann.

The Purdue Military Band presented the first formations ever displayed before football fans in 1908.

Since then the organization has gradually increased in size until today it is the largest band in the history of Purdue, composed of 1 70 select m~si颅 cians. The band boasts a 17-plece percussion section which includes ten snare drums six new Scotch drums, and the w~rld 's largest motorized bass drum. Spectators also thrill to the bell-like tones of twelve glockenspiels, the largest section of this kind in the country.

GRAVE PROBLEMS ARE FACED HIS is the story of our National Council, at work and at play. It might be entitled "who smoked most of the president's cigars," but, since we do not wish to embarrass our good treasurer, we shall mention no names.

T

On July 10 the Council gathered at "Arborlado," the beautiful summer home of Past National Treasurer Robbie Robinson which nestles in a wooded glen on the shore of Lake Huron 70 miles north of Detroit. For four days they followed a schedule of a swim before breakfast, breakfast at eight, and business from nine to five (or later). The setting alone insured a successful meeting, but the graciousness of Grace and Robbie Robinson and their two daughters made it eminently so. The fraternity owes them a debt of most sincere gratitude for the hospitable invitation which made it possible for our Council to gather in such harmonious surroundings for a meeting of vital importance.

The importance of this meeting cannot be overstated. Not only was the Council faced with the necessity of attempting to predict the possible effects our country's national emergency might have upon the fraternity, but also, they were commissioned by the last Supreme Chapter to make a final decision on the fraternity's attitude toward the subject of mergers. Since the former of these assignments in its very nature involved many speculative factors, a report of Council discussions is possible in only the most general of terms. The latter assignment, however was clear cut, and the Council has ~uccinctly expressed our attitude toward mergers in a formal resolu4

tion, copies of which were . sent to fraternity leaders in early August.

This resolution is reproduced for you in full as follows: WHEREAS, the National Council, after careful study of the question of mergers, has reached the conclusion that a fraternity entering into a union which involves the loss of its name and identity, while it may preserve its financial structure, does no t save those traditions and loyalties which are the essence of brotherhood ; and WHEREAS, it is evident that among the undergraduate and alumni members of Pi Kappa Phi in all parts of the country there exists a strong feeling against giving up the name of the Fraternity, its insignia and its rituals; and WHEREAS, although there are in Pi Kappa Phi some conditions which are unsatisfactory and some problems which require solution and although there are trends in the world at large which are fraught with possible danger not only to Pi Kappa Phi, but to the entire fraternity system, there does not exist in the affairs of the Fraternity, either financial or otherwise, any condition which could reasonably be described as a crisis or emergency; and WHEREAS, it seems desirable to allay the unrest and dispel the uncertainty which bas been caused by the suggestion of the possibility of merger; therefore, be it

RESOLVED , that the Nati~ Council dismiss from consid~r~ any suggestion of a merger wb;c eP volves the loss of the name and.1d11 ty of Pi Kappa Phi and that 10~1 it devote its time and th.o~gtefl' the development of alumni. 10 ~~ and participation in the affa1rs 0pi' Fraternity to the end that our d1 ent position may be consolidate ai a firm basis laid for future g and be it further Jet

RESOLVED, that through a·~ from the National President th1jl) cision be communicated to the .. ers of the Fraternity, includ.ing·1· living founders, all past nati 011~n ficers, chairmen of standing co tees of the Supreme Chapter, ince chairmen, district archons, ons of all undergraduate and chapters, chapter advisers, a dergraduate rushing that as soon as possible be made known to the . at large through publication 111 STAR AND LAMP.

To attempt here a full Council discussions of the emergency factors which maY our chapters is not only but also somewhat akin to a to refute the old saw about horses eating more than black because there are more whited If we knew what factors woul us and to what extent, some conclusions might be drawn the problems to anticipate and ods for solving them.

The fraternity cannot take becau~tt for a breathing spell just gettin the going shows signs of Whichg rough. The only conclusion in the irneverrone can concur is that able Nedtate future is unpredictto Predi eve.rtheless, we must attempt or fraterct.

°

condition of chapters to be good.

Though the fraternity has reduced its chapter roll somewhat in the past several years it was encouraging to note that undergraduate membership continues about on a par with that of even the best years of the past, an indication that individual chapters are generally stronger today. How will the draft affect them? Shall we anticipate material decreases in chapter rolls? If so, with living costs rising, how can a chapter of marginal financial means meet its operating expenses?

Discussion of these questions brought out the opinion that, so long as the lower draft age is maintained at 21 years, we shall probably not be greatly affected by it. It was pointed out, however, that some losses must be expected. Some men will be drafted, others will enlist, still others may remain out of college because of the attraction of good paying defense jobs. So chapters must prepare. They must meet higher costs with somewhat smaller memberships. Even though no immediate decline may be obseryed, they must not assume that it will not be. To meet higher costs a chapter can increase its charges. For many rea-

sons this is undesirable. It can set out upon a campaign for a wholesale increase in membership, but this will result in a lowering of the quality standards for membership. Finally it can cut out all of the "frills" attendant upon normal operations. This last method is recommended. We shall all appreciate it more next spring when the new tax bills begin to come in.

Our financial position was found to be substantially stronger than it had been in the previous year. This improved condition was due, in no small measure, to the quickened i~­ terest of our alumni. The two most significant features of our fiscal report concerned THE STAR AND LA~P FuND and the VoLUNTARY DuEs FuND. For the first time in several years it was possible to materially i~­ crease the principal of the magazine endowment.

s

Voluntary alumni dues have not been spent for operations but have been physically segregated in a special operating reserve to be used as a hedge against unforseen difficulties which may arise during the war emergency. The very existence of this cash reserve enabled the treasurer to face the obvious uncertainties of the new fiscal year with much more confidence than would otherwise have been possible.

The Council decision to place more emphasis on the developing greater alumni participation in the affairs of the fraternity continued a policy established by the 1940 Chicago Convention. A study of the Alumni Province program showed that eighteen orovincial offices had been established throughout the country with chairmen selected for sixteen of these. It was apparent that alumni are very much interested in what the fraternity is doing. Some of them had displayed this interest through the payment of voluntary dues, but it was evident that the extent of alumni interest and participation goes beyond the limits measurable by these payments.

Rounding out their business affairs the Council authorized the publication of a new Membership Directory and a revised edition of the Pledge Manual. Both of these publications were provided for in the new budget and are currently in production. The directory is expected off the press in December while the manual may be delivered before this issue of THE STAR AND LAMP reaches you.

The youngest pled~e never bad a better time at his first house party than did the Council in the informal surroundings of "Arborlado " and the formal (but not staid) atmosphere of the Detroit Yacht Club. The meeting was not without its social attractions, as a picture of the assembled officials and their ladies in evening dress, watching the sunrise from sandy Lake Huron shores would testify. They had just returned from a formal party with the Detroit Alumni Chapter. Why didn't Robbie send in this picture for the magazine?

Well, maybe he felt you'd get the idea the boys and girls were keeping mighty late hours. And so they were for this was their last night in Michigan and they wanted to see all of it.

It is impossible to conclude this report without telling you of the warm hospitality awaiting us at Detroit's Chateau Frontenac before the Yacht Club affair.

All fortunate enough to have been present are deeply indebted to Sally and Gene Dunnaway for the most pleasant of experiences. Gene, who someone has called Xi Chapter's perennial sophomore, tells a yarn about a certain new hat and a certain new overcoat that a certain bridegroom tossed into New York's East River. But we must remember that here we are telling the story of the National Council at work and at play, or "who smoked most of the president's cigars." So long.

The death of Professor Lawrence N. Field, Alpha Theta, on October 25, at the age of 53, took from the fraternity a sympathetic friend, an interested member and ardent .supporter. For many years Brother Field, a charter member of his chapter, gave unstintingly of his time and counsel to Alpha Theta and to District Ten, serving faithfully as chapter adviser and, from 1936, as district archon.

Lawrence Field was born in Dansville, Michigan, the son of Frank H. and Mynt North Field. on June 20, 1888. He attended Michigan State College in 1908-09, then transferred to the University of Michigan from which he received his B. M. E. degree

PI KAPPA PHI SCHOLARS FOR 1941

M

ANY of the defense problems of our country now and in the future must be solved by those men who have been trained either by experience or in college in the scientific method. The seriousness of our problems has forced upon our college students a more serious attitude toward their studies and their special preparation for life with the result that Joe College is becoming out of place on the campus. The call of the draft and the specific requirements of the army for trained college men has emphasized the importance of scholarship, so that to fritter away one's college opportunities is to appear unpatriotic. This greater interest in high scholarship by the active membership of Pi Kappa Phi was made evident by the large number of applicants for the honor of Pi Kappa Phi Scholar.

Through the fine cooperation of the Central Office more applications were made for this honor this year than for any other year in the fifteen years during which the honor has been available. The scholarship standard required for election to Pi Kappa Phi Scholar has always been

•

as high if not higher than is necessary for election to Phi Beta Kappa or Tau Beta Pi, and not always has there been the maximum number of candidates whose records met this standard. However, this year it has been necessary to make a much greater comparative study of the scholastic records of the candidates than for any other year in the past so that the Scholars for 1941 are unusually qualified for the honor.

The following brothers have been chosen as the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1941: Paul J. Barringer, Jr., Duke ; Frank M. Branner, Purdue ; James A. Johnson, Georgia; Gilbert S. Merritt, Drexel ; John W. Oswalt Purdue; Raymond A. Pinkham' Michigan State; Victor S. Schell~ schmidt, Illinois Tech; Ralph B. Wainright, Jr., Rensselaer; Stuart M. Winton, Howard.

On Founders' Day, December lOth these Scholars will receive Pi Kapp~ Phi Scholarship pendants and certificates as evidence of the regard that our fraternity holds for their splendid scholastic achievements.

Also the photographs of these brothers together with a complete description of their scholastic records will appear in the January number of the STAR AND LAMP.

There are many others, but ing of Mel Metcalfe brings us to the Alumni Program for he chairman of Province 14. leader the race for the best record of V tary Dues collections at the 1 Convention in Washington, D. The present box seer~ shows: Rank Province Score 1 XIV ( 1) 2 2.8 2 XVII (2) 13.2 3 XII (4) 11.1 4 IV (3) 10.1 5 II (16) 8.8 6 VII (5) 8.7 7 III (7) 8.64 8 I (6) 8.63 9 VI (8) 6.4 10 IX (13) 5.6 11 XIII (11) 5.5 12 XV ( 10) 5.1 13 v (10) 4.9 14 VIII (9) 4.8 15 XVI (14) 3.7 16 XVIII (15) 2.9 17 X (17) 1.5 18 XI (18) 1.5

The 'parenthetical figures show relative positions of provinces as reported in the July STAR AND LAMP. Note how Del George's gang in Province Two has climbed since then.

Del and Peg stopped in to see us a few days ago, and he hands much of the credit for this record to Ernie Miller, Alpha Mu, of Warren, Pa.

Harris Promoted R. F. (Dick) Harris, Jr., was recently transferred from Atlanta to Charlotte, N. C., where he is agency organizer for the New York Life Insurance Co.

Th e first real test of the Alumni Program will face us with the advent of the New Year. It is then we begin going back to this year's contributors. How many of th~m will continue to support the plan?

How many new supporters will be added in '42? That depends on how we bep the alumni informed on our progress.

We are progressing steadily as you know. In a study of college enrollments made by President Walters of the University of Cincinnati , it is revealed that college rosters of 331 out of 573 institutions declined from 5 per cent to 20 per cent this fall. In the face of this trend towards smaller student bodies (a trend attributed mainly to the defense program) our chapters have generally maintained or bettered their membership and pledging positions in comparison with 1940. It is naturally evident that the pressure on the acti\'es is tremendous, and that nothing in sight leads to th e conclusion that this pressure will be relaxed. This is one more reason for increasing the tempo of alumni participation in fraternity affairs.

The 1942 program gets its first public hearing on Found~rs' Day. !t is bound to succeed, for Pt Kapps wtll not abide any other conclusion. So we'll be looking for you on December 10, Joe, when Pi Kapps thro~gh­ out the nation meet to rededtcate themselves to the fraternity way of Jiving.

Our kindest regards to Dorothy and the youngster, as we rema!n fraternally Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, Your Alumni Relations Committee.

Our first rush party was a great success. It was a stag smoker held at the home of Brother Vernon Moore and about twenty-five rushees attended. With the Pan-Hellenic Counci l limiting rushing to three weeks this year, we were not long in holding our next rush party. It was a combination hayride and wiener roast. As usual this outing under the stars was very en joyable. The third week-end brought our biggest treat -a boatride in the harbor. This event ended rush season and, although bids have not gone out at this writing, we nevertheless expect good results when pledge day arrives.

This year we lost fo ur brothers. Otis Pickett and Walker Bates are at Charleston Medica l College. Cheney Moore is hard at work in the business world; and Charles Long is now awaiting the call of Uncle Sam. ZACK GRAMLING,

As usual the boys returned to school with memories of the summer house party at Pawley's Island still fresh in their minds. Only one or two of the boys missed this occasion of fun, when the order of the day called for nothing more than playing, swimming, eating and relaxing in the sun.

New initiates are Jow Williams and Tommy Denson, both of Spartanburg.

Miles Swarts, Canton, Ohio; Dave Schweiger, West Lafayette, Ind.; and Dave Simpson, Homewood, Ill . The pledge class organized a football team and challenged the actives to a gridiron tussle. The actives, employing a deceptive "T"formation and their own referee, soundly trounced the underclassmen.

Putting her best foot forward socially Omega was the first chapter on the campus to go serenading. In response to our melodic efforts several sororities serenaded us in return. As a result of this vocal activity Pi Kappa Phi and Pi Beta Phi Sorority have formed a mixed glee club.

In accord with the traditions of the University the annual senior-freshman "moustache and cord hunt" was culminated successfully, a lthough Dave Lennox suffered a cracked bone in his ankle. Then came the annual pie-eating contest between Pi Kappa Phi and Pi Kappa Alpha, the only two fraternities on the campus whose names begin with the Greek letter Pi. Pledges of each chapter raced to the steps of the Union Building and ravenously devoured luscious gooseberry pies with their hands bound behind their backs. The gooey orgy was broadcast over a statewide network by WBAA, the campus radio station. On October 14 Omega entertained the Interfraternity Advisors' Council at a banquet meeting in the chapter house. Coming up are a number of trade dinners with other fraternities which are designed to promote a more united fraternal spirit.

On October 12, two weeks after school opened, John Glaser, junior business administration major from Chicago; William Gates, junior engineer from Dearborn , and Ralph Follett, senior engineer from Cassopolis, were formally initiated.

After taking second place in interfraternity tennis for the previous two years, Alpha Theta won first place last spring.

Loren Ferley and Harold Patzer wielded the racquets and brought home a new plaque to add to our collection. The current intramural program finds Alpha Theta with a bowling team which has not lost a match at this writing. The team holds the high game record to date and features the rolling of Brothers Russ Munro, Jack Lawler, Henry Bertagnoli, Bob Juth and Ralph Follett. Not all the chapter's attention is directed to ath letics, however, as is attested by our fourth ranking position scholastically last year. There are seventeen chapters on the campus.

Our first Dad's Day in many years was held on October 25, when chapter members played host to their fathers at the Michigan State-Wayne University football game and followed this with a banquet at the chapter house. Chief entertainment feature at the banquet was the showing of interesting picture slides by Chapter Adviser Sholl. Smaller partiesradio dances and rushee smokers-will keep us socially alert until the big event of the quarter-our annual fall term party on November 29. Founders' Day banquet will follow on December 10 and we expect this affair to attract many alumni.

Many alumni have stopped in to see us during October.

Norm Smith, past archon and now second lieutenant in the quartermaster corps, led the visitors' parade and was followed

by Dick Jones, last year's archon, now with the American Bridge Co. in Gary, Indiana; Bob Vanderveld, '41 graduate now a second lieutenant in the air corps; Bob Pardee, second lieutenant in the cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas; and George Wahl, '39 graduate now working on his doctor's degree in geology at McGill University in Montreal.

Bob Hobbins and Dick Charon, member and pledge respectively, have gone to Hick~ Field, Texas, for air corps training and Dick Routsong is awaiting call to the same base.

Brother Ned Martinson, graduate of '39, and Miss Irma Shumway were married on October 2. Ned teaches school in Shepherd, Michigan. Hart Morris and Bill Zabriskie, active members of not so long ago, both have baby girls now. Hart is employed by the Arctic Dairy in Lansing and Bill is in Detroit. Bob Trembath, past archon, is working with General Motors in Chicago, now making Pratt and Whitney airplane engines.

Alpha Iota

Auburn

This year really started with a "bang" for Alpha Iota.

Thirty-one boys were pledged, representing the largest pledge group the chapter has ever had. The Columbus-Ft. Benning Alumni Chapter was a great help to us in rushing activities during the summer, as were the active brothers in Birmingham.

Our summer rush program was closed in grand style with a joint house dance at Alpha Eta. New pledges are: LaFayette Carroll, Ed Bagley, Bill Smyly, Edward Jernigan, Glenn Crim, D. K. Clanton, Harry Dicus, Simpson Hamner, Joe Billy Fain, Quay Fortner, Coley Glen, A. B. Carroll, Theo Massey, Charles Morgan, Charles Hall, Joe Baker, James McHugh, Paul Dawkins, W. E. Dennard, Edward Pendleton, Arthur Plan, George Reddick, Lawrence Woolbright, Leon Sanders, Howard Withers, Noble Doss and Erwin Rudisill.

On September 15 eleven brothers from the Columbus-Ft. Benning Alumni Chapter met with Alpha Iota. We are looking forward to having more joint meetings with this ):roup.

Homecoming at Auburn on November 29 will bring back a large number of our alumni and plans are being made now for their entertainment. Our annual formal dance is slated for December 12, and every effort will be made to make it the most gala Pi Kappa Phi dance ever held in Auburn .

Alpha Iota upheld its usual high standards of scholarship during 1940-41 and expects to climb higher this year.

Archon Jim Morgan was tapped for the local chapter of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity.

Under the able leadership of Rush Chairman Hulbert Ferger and the effective co-operation of the membership, an imposing array of pledges was obtained during Alpha Sigma's rush period. A total of 21 is ample proof of the extra effort put forth and we are pleased to announce the pledging of the follo~ing: Frank Bacon, Glenn Burnett, Bill. Ca~son, Ar~ie Dichert Paul Garber, Hank Hayes, Bob Hams, J1mmy H1ll , Thoma~ Hirsbrunner, Grady Jacoway, Charles Martin, Robert Nicholson, Aubrey Pendergrass, Jimmy Powell, Carl Shaw, Jimmy Snow, James Tombras, J . H . Tucker, Max Turner, Junior Van Fleet and Jimmy Walker. The new men were honored on October 3 at a dinner dance.

Plans for our annual formal dance are underway and wiJJ be completed soon. We expect this affair to be the highlight of the social season since it will be celebrated as a Founders' Day function .

It is much to our regret-but to Uncle Sam's gain- that we announce the entry of two of our most capable active~ into the armed forces of the United States-Lee Ryerson and Kenneth Parkinson.

On September 27, Alpha Sigma was visited by a number of brothers from Delta Chapter, who came over to see the Tennessee-Furman football game.

There was much work to be done in fixing up the chapter house for the new term but the job was completed on schedule and included redecorating the living room and hallway, re-carpeting the stairways and refurnishing the upper lounging room.

Rushing started as soon as school opened and Alpha Tau closed her campaign on October 1 with a full quota of 18 pledges. Next we attended to the initiation of Ben Storey, Waterloo; Fred Bohl, Harrison ; and George Droste, New York City, on October 18.

Honors have fallen to many men of Alpha Tau , both scholastically and in the field of campus activities. Archon
