'

, , ,

Pi Kappa Phi, assembled in its XXIst Supreme Chapter meeting at Birmingham, gave a command in clear, ringing tones to its national officers to lead the fraternity to greater heights in its program of reactivation and expansion. You路r national officers accept this challenge and are in almost constant consultation in planning the revival of chapters made dormant by the war and extending Pi Kappa Phi to colleges and universities where we have never been represented. I am happy to report that progress is being made along both fronts; a full account of Eta's return to the brotherhood appears in this issue of the Star and Lamp, and before very long you will have the news of the installation of Alpha Chi Chapter.

Progress is also 路 being made toward the goal of restoring the central office to its pre-war vig.or. A new traveling counselor will soon take his place in the Richmond office, advising and consulting with the active and alumni chapters in carrying out the mandate of the Supreme Chapter. And before long, he will have working with him a traveling counselor in the East and another in the West, thus returning central office to the place where it can furnish the service and leadership to which the members of the fraternity are entitled.

Even with the constant efforts of the national council and central office, however, we cannot make the pro_gress we should unless every district archon, every chapter adviser, every chapter officer and member plans and works for the greater glory of Pi Kappa Phi. Let everyone do his part so Pi Kappa Phi will take its rightful place in. the fraternity world.

TIES STRENGTHENED AT BIRMINGHAM MEETING

By Richard L. Young, Editor, The STAR Warm fraternal fellowship characterized Pi Kappa Phi's first postwar conclave when the Twenty-first Supreme Chapter Meeting was held at Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 29, 30, and 31, 1946.

Two hundred and twenty-five brothers were registered for the first Supreme Chapter Meeting since 1940, coming from widely separated areas. All active undergraduate chapters were represented, many alumni groups sent delegates, and scores of interested alumni, mainly from the southern states, were present. The spirit of comradeship in Pi Kappa Phi seemed to be heightened by the long absence of official gatherings during the difficult war years and when the banquet closed the threeday convention there were expressions on every hand that the mee~ing "had been the best ever."

The interest of the gathering was profoundly increased by the presence of Founder L. Harry Mixson, who first addressed the conclave at the initial session the afternoon of August 29, installed the newly elected officers at the final session and spoke again at the closing banquet.

Fraternal greetings were also received from Founder Simon Fogarty who sent his regrets at his inability to attend and who expressed his keen desire for a successful meeting.

A highlight of the first session was the introduction of Miss Laura B. Parker, who had acted as office manager of the Fraternity during the war. In presenting her to the assembled brothers National President William J. Berry announced the action of the National Council in authorizing her to wear the badge of the fmternity and then on behalf of the Council members gave her a badge.

Two announcements by President Berry of action of the National Council were greeted with applause.

These included the statement that the charter of Eta Chapter, which bad been surrendered almost ten years ago had been turned back and the chapter was ready to resume operation with thirteen brothers and one pledge. The other was that the petition of Pi Kappa, a local at the 6

memorial service, honoring 158 brothers, most of whom gave their lives during World War II, who had died since the last meeting of the Supreme Chapter. This concluded the initial session.

The second day began with an undergraduate roundtable discussion, led by President Berry, and at this meeting various problems of the undergraduate chapters were talked over. The formal session of the Supreme Chapter then followed and at th e opening President Berry read a telegram of greetings from Dr. A.

At the closing session the report 7

of the committee on time and place, submitted by Chairman Clinton Paulson, was amended to provid e that recommendation be mad e to the incoming National Council that the Twenty-second Supreme Chapter meet in Port'land, Ore., if circumstances will permit. The date of th ; meeting was fixed as the last three days of th e first week of September, 1948.

Further reports were submitted as follows: Chairman Theodore Jackson, committee on alumni affai rs, Chairman C. R. Lowe, committee on future policy and good of the order, and Chairman Richard L. Yo ung, resolutions committee.

Included among the resolutions was one expressing the Fraternity's sincere appreciation for the loyal and untiring services of each member of th e outgoing Council. And the new Council at its first meeting, following installation, voted to award certificates of meritoriou s service to the three retiring officers; National President Berry, National Secretary Gibbon and National Treasurer Helmrich .

After a brief recess the final session was convened for the installation of officers, which was performed

by Founder L. Harry Mixson . An interesting highlight of this clo!"ing session was the introduction by National President Rice of Brother Bartolo Rodriquez, Jr. , of Tampico, Mexico, whose warm fratern al address stirred the assembly. Then came adjournment.

Several interesting social events enlivened the convention program.

Th e first was an informal reception and dance, a get-acquainted affair the first evening and a formal dance the following night. Th e climax was the closing banquet at which Congressman George M. Grant, Omicron, was the principal speaker. These even ts, as well as all sessions of the Supreme Chapter were held at the Tutwiler Hotel.

A most appealing program of entertainment was arranged for the This included a visiting ladies. bridge party at a hostess house on Iron Mountain, a sightseeing trip by bus and a dinner at the Hollywood Country Club.

six years, an interval unA FTER p;·ecedented in the history of the Fraternity, your National Council comes before you to rend er an accounting to the source of all its authority, the Supreme Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. It is a cause for deep satisfaction that after the most terrible conflict in human history which threatened the destruction of Western civilization of wh!ch the American college fraternity system is a part, so large a number of our chapters are here represented , active, enthu siastic and eager to advance the cause of Pi Kappa Phi. It suggests that our immediate task is to revive those other chapters which suspended because of the war emergency and also to bring back to life many which closed during the preceding decade .

When the war-clouds began to gather, it became clear to us that conditions might arise in which the restraints imposed upon the National Council by the Constitution and Supreme Laws might well result in impotence when action was required or delay when speed was of the essence.

Accordingly we made the extraordinary request that the National Council be given absolute power to take any steps they might deem necessary for the good of the order, regardless of any provisions of the law. The Fraternity was asked to do what was already being done in th e national life, namely to make a temporary sacrifice of rights and liberties for th e sake of efficiency. The unanimity with which the requ est was granted by the chapters was both encouraging and sobering. It was at once a grant of authority and a vote of confidence. Along with its increased powers, the Council acquired tremendous responsibilities of which it was by no means unmindful. The power thus generously vested in us, we now return to your hands in the hope that you will feel that we have not made unwise use of it and that never again will such a departure from constitutional procedure be necessary. At the time we promised

ourselves and you that no reckless use would b e made qf the unlimited authority delegated to us al1d that so far as was possible we would continu e to carry on within the fra111e· work of the Constitution and Su· preme Laws. So far as I am aware, the only extra-legal actions take~ b~ the Council have been the following.

1-A reg u I at i on authorizing alumni duly organized as Boards of Conservators of undergraduate char· ters · Temporarily suspended, to pledge and, with the approval of the National Council, to initiate. h 2-A regulation authorizing sue. a Board of Conservators in the casof an undergraduate chapter not .re· activated at the time of th e meeting of the Supreme Chapter, to send ~n~ of its members as a delegate WI\ the same rights, privileges and ~ · lowances as the delegate of an active chapter.

3.-A regulation authorizing un· dergraduate chapters to place on alumni status married veterans, re· turning as undergraduates to !b.e chapter into which they were in1t1· ated, whenever such status is re· quested in writing.

4-Authorization for Miss Laura B. Parker, Manager of Central Office to wear the badge of the FraternitY on an equality with the mothers, wives, sisters, . daughters and fiancees of duly initiated brothers.

Your National Council early recog· nized that the war and particularlY the Selective Service Act, applying as it did to men of college age was a menace to the very existence ?J the Fraternity and plans were 1~ · to avoid di saster. In order to maintain chapter identity, to conserve chapter assets, and, if possible, to as· sure chapter continuance, each u11· dergraduate unit was instructed t~ set up an Advisory War Councl having the maiority of its memb~rs alumni to provide counsel and gu·d· ance during the emergency and tO take over when membership losseS made normal undergraduate chapter life impossible.

directive. However excellent any of this sort may be in itself, 1ts success depends almost entirely Upon the human element. As might have been expected, the peformances Of these Advisory War Councils and Boards of Conservators differed ~idely. Some took their tasks ser1?Usly, devoted themselves conscientiously to the welfare of the chapters and did a superb job. Others, while less efficient, nevertheless did valuable service. A few were mere paper organizations of no help either to their chapters or to the National organization. To all alumni who by active participation or sympathetic counsel helped to bring Pi Kappa Phi and its chapters through the stress of the war years, the National Council is profoundly grateful.

It was evident, too, that the Fra1 ternity would lose the services of its Executive Secretary, Brother John ~- McCann, either to the armed serYice or to a war industry, and that 1t would not be possible to replace him since any possible successor Would be equally subject to the draft. lt was accordingly decided to reorganize Central Office with Miss Laura B. Parker as office manager and to provide such clerical help as tnight be needed. It was at first !~ought that the office would be continued merely as an office of record, but Miss Parker developed ability as the demands of her position increased and Central Office was soon functioning pretty much as before except for visitations. It was interesting to note that the membership at large accepted this new situation Without objection and that in a ~hort time the chapters were bringIng their troubles to Miss Parker in tnuch the same way that they fortnerly took them to Brother McCann. The Council has had no occasion to regret its decision with re~heme

gard to Central Office. Miss Parker displayed a loyalty to Pi Kappa Phi and a devotion to its interests far above and beyond the call of duty.

The Fraternity was indeed fortunate in securing the kind of service for which money cannot pay. The last extra-legal act of your National Council was an inadequate expression of appreciation.

Some of the larger national fraternities have obligatory alumni dues. I have never looked with favor on such a plan for either the law becomes a dead letter or there is an ever-increasing mass of disciplinary proceedings. At the 20th Supreme Chapter in Chicago, I proposed a plan of voluntary alumni dues of one dollar a year to add much needed funds to the income of the national organization. If half of the alumni were to contribute the minimum amount our income would be increased by four thousand dollarsand we could do a lot with four thousand dollars. The Supreme Chapter adopted the necessary legislation and the Executive Secretary began to build an organization to push the plan. Then came the war. Nevertheless, while the income from voluntary alumni dues has been less than I had hoped, it has continued to come in regularly and has been of great help. The National Treasurer has said that because of this extra income, he was able to submit budgets which otherwise he would have considered unsafe. While the number of contributors has not been large in view of our membership most of the amounts subscribed hav~ been more than the suggested minimum. This evidence of alumni interest has been most encouraging to your national officers. To receive a contribution from a brother in the service, stationed in a far-off part of the world, perhaps at the very

battle-front, gave a tremendous lift to our morale. Mention should be here made of the continued generosity of the Columbus-Fort Benning Alumni Chapter which three times contributed war bonds to the Fraternity's treasury. All the monies received from voluntary alumni dues has been placed in a fund which the next National Council will have at its disposal for use in the re-building of the Fraternity. To the loyal brothers who have had a part in this plan, we owe our grateful thanks.

Brother William F. Ward, Epsilon, who died a hero's death as a naval officer in the Pacific, left a bequest of two hundred dollars to Pi Kappa Phi. It is being held in a special fund for the benefit of Epsilon Chapter.

The war caused a complete breakdown in our di:itrict organization, resulting in lack of supervision of the chapters and a cutting of their line of communication with the national.

The district archons were, for the most part, young men and one by one they were called into service until only a few were left. These were so hampered by shortage of gasoline and travel restrictions of one sort or another that they could accomplish little. I am happy to report that within the months since V-J day all but one of the vacancies have been filled . · Some of these new district archons have already shown great interest and activity. More power to them, for our district organization is a very important part of the administrative set-up. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, National Historian W. Robert Amick was inducted into the armed services and felt constrained to resign the office to which he bad first been elected at the XIXth Supreme Chapter in Jacksonville. In accordance with the Constitution and Supreme laws, the National Council filled the vacancy by electing Brother Devereux D .

Rice, who had for a long while been the very efficient archon of District No.8.

I do not wish to trespass on the preserves of the National Treasurer, but I wish to call your attention to the fact that all through this troubled period the Fraternity operated within its income. Regular additions to the principal of the STAR AND LAMP Fund were made as required by law, the practice was continued of setting aside a portion of each initia9

tion fee as a convention fund and there was built up a reserve, invested in War Bonds to provide for the expenses of this meeting and to be useJ in promoting the growth and development of the Fraternity. At one time we were full of fears as to the financial future of the Fraternity and proceeded with such caution that budgets were made for only six months at a time, but the re-organization of Central Office. including the move from the GraceAmerican Building to 401 East Franklin St., the reduction in the number of issues of the STAR AND LAMP, the generous action of Broth er Richard L. Young in foregoing for a time his stipulated' fee as editor and the unprecedented number of initiations all combined to bring us through not only solvent but stronger financially than we have ? een for a decade. The Fraternity IS under great obligation to National Treasu rer Helmrich for his careful budgeting and his rnnstant supervision of expenditures.

A little later the Supreme Chapter will hear a report from Brother Ralph Noreen, Gamma, Chairman of the Finance Committee to which your attention is especially directed.

At the XIXth Supreme Chapter in Jacksonville, in the face of strong opposition, Brother Noreen succeeded in having the investment policy of the Fraternity liberalized in such manner as to take advantage of his special knowledge and opportunities. His course has been abundantly justified for the principal of the STAR AND LAMP Fund which was roughly $28,000 when the Finance Committee took it over has increased to $50,000. This increase is highly important for even now, in this day of low yields, the income from the Fund is sufficient to defray only about half the cost of the magazine, which incidentally has just been raised. The remainder must be met out of general income. Brother Noreen and his colleagues of the Finance Committee, Past Supreme Archon Roy Heffner, Gamma, and Brother E. Floyd Griffin, Alpha Xi, have earned the thanks of the Fraternity.

Enough has been said thus far in this report to indicate that many of our old er brothers are giving of their time and effort to advance the in10

GLOOMY 'fhe political future of China is gloomy, thinks Dr. M. Theron Rankin , Delta, executive secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

This opinion of the eminent Baptist leader was based on his observations during a three month's tour of China this summer when he was also convinced that "Communism it:~ China is more than a political party.

It is a rebel government."

Interviews with hundreds of Chinese from the Communist section Of the country all included one statement, he said, that they "have suffered more in one year of Communist rule than in nine years under the Japanese."

Dr. Rankin, who spent 20 years as a teacher in Canton and in Shanghai, and was interned in Stanley Prison in 1941, was not admitted to the area now under Communist control. "I was allowed to travel whereever I wished in Nationalist territory," be said, "but in Communist territory permits are required from Village to village.

"The political future of China is gloomy," Dr. Rankin said. "Maintaining as they do their own separate government with a tax system, currency, and even postage, the Communists represent ::1. rebellion against the central government of China. I can see no basis of an effective plan of cooperation or compromise between the two governments.

"The capacity of the Chinese people to achieve in the midst of chaos and confusion is almost incredible, however, and that capacity is China's hope."

Dr. M. Theron Rankin tracing his flight from Son Francisco to Shanghai via Hawaii, and return June 24 to Oct. 16.

Dr. Rankin visited cities which had been 70 per cent devastated during the war. "They have already been 70 per cent rebuilt. Beyond the wall of confusion and disorganization, individual achievements in China promise a political and economic stability."

"The great need for relief still exists in the Orient," Dr. Rankin stated.

"CNRR, the Chinese branch of UNRRA, is dispensing relief to the people who are definitely below the hunger line, the refugees and the destitute masses, but the vast numbers of 'white-collar' workers do not qualify for this type of relief. Their income has not increased with inflationary prices. They are suffering acutely from malnutrition."

One instance of this condition is the fact that the University of Shanghai, a Baptist institution with a thousand students this year, bas no basketball team. President Henry H. Lin, himself, an athlete, told Dr. Rankin that he was unable to find enough men who were physically able to qualify. Medical examinations of students show large numbers seriously underweight, and the increase in deficiency diseases among young

people of white-collar families is alarming. "~7 e have made plans to spend ap-

proxtmately $800,000 among this class of people related to the Baptist churches in China," Dr. Rankin said.

"This sum will be furnished out of the $3,666,000 raised during July, Augu:st and September by the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention to be administered by the relief committee of the foreign board.

"The money is handled by dependable committees in the churches.

Personal investigation is made of every case that is given help and all relief funds are administered along the best principles of social work."

Dr. Rankin left Richmond for his 30,000-mile trip last June 24. He reached Shanghai July 1 and before his take-off for the return trip October 8 he traveled between 8,000 and 10,000 miles in China.

"I traveled among all kinds of people and I never encountered one person who was unfriendly or discourteous," Dr. Rankin said . "The Chinese are friendly people. They respond to American and other tourists if they are courteous."

In addition to the wonderful support of its faculty brother§ and alumni, Eta is fortunate to have the active support of Past National Secretary Leo Pou, Omicron, who now lives only a stone's throw from Emory.

Further, Iota Chapter, across the city on Tech's campus, has constantly lent its Joyal and willing aid.

Led by Archon Dick Almand, fifteen Iota men attended the Charter Day dinner and warmly backed Eta's plans.

Eta is in the midst of Rush Week

at the present time .. The chapter has resolved to rush only those men who have been specifically recommended by graduate and undergraduate Pi Kapps in order to maintain its high standard. All alumni and active chapters are urged to send in names of prospective rushees.

So far, Eta has refused all offers of funds by Alumni. The Chapter wants to stand on its own feet as far as current expenses are concerned.

It does, however, hope to solicit a sum of money for a house ere long.

Eta realizes that the work has just begun and that this impressive and successful start is not all that must be accomplished, but the members of Eta have resolved that Pi Kappa Phi shall resume its place as one of Emory's leading fraternities and we don 't intend that it shall take long.

The war is over. By the time this issue of the STAR AND LAMP reaches you, most of the reserves will be out of the Navy. The remaining 50,000 officers and 500,000 enlisted men will constitute the peacetime Navy.

Many Pi Kapps will not choose to be demobilized. Three such brothers left Sigma Chapter in 1945. They are E. R. Britt, Bill Dallis, and Tom Weir. These three form the nucleus of the Anchor Club of Pi Kappa Phi. In order that the Pi Kapps who remain in th e vast naval establishment may keep in touch with each other and that closer contact can be kept with the national organization, some sort of chapter should be organized for Pi Kapps in Blue, who would otherwise be unable to belong to an Alumni group.

Since it is not possible for such an association to meet all the requirements set forth in the constitution and supreme laws for an Alumni Chapter, it was suggested by National President Berry that the Navy Pi Kapps be organized into a club on an experimental basis until it is 16

By John W. Deimler National Historian In announcing the resumption of the annual President's Plaque award for the best chapter publication, I would like to review briefly, the history of the award and basis of judging.

The President's Plaque was first awarded in 1936, being won by Alpha Xi's Woodbird. For three successive years thereafter, Omega's Omegalite was judged the best and the original Plaque became the permanent possession of Omega Chapter, this being one of the conditions under which the contest was inaugurated. A second Plaque of different design was presented in 1940 and the name of Upsilon Chapter appears once, Omega twice, and Tau once. Tau Chapter was the last winner when the contest was discontinued in 1943 because of the War. The basis upon which previous contests have been rated are: frequency of issues (minimum of three) 20 percent; general attractiveness (headings, pictures, form, make-up, etc.) 30 percent ; proportion of Alumni news, 50 percent.

appears to be a very practical and sound method for evaluation and shall be continued for the present at least. Now, just as a guide to you editors, let me add a few comments on each of these headings.

In order for a publication to be considered, there must be a minimum of three issues. This should not bP too difficult a requirement to meet and immediately gives your publication 20 per cent. So be sure your three or more, issues reach Central Office.

General attractiveness covers a multitude of things, but particular stress will be placed on the use of headings and sub-headings for long articles, occasional boxes, short items or news articles, names set out in bold type, style and arrangement, pictures (or sketches) if possible, and balance between alumni and chapter news. Let it clearly be understood that a well prepared and neatly mimeographed publication has just as good a chance of winning as does a printed publication.

The proportion of alumni news is the most important factor and rightly so. Through the medium of the Chapter publication, the alumni are kept informed of the high lights of the active Chapters progress and program and learn of the advancement of their brothers. This is the best, and sometimes the only, contact the active chapter has with its alumni. Remember also that important events for the college are items of alumni interest as well. A Chapter may materially aid its college in maintaining and increasing the interest of the alumni in the affairs of the school as well as the Fraternity through the medium of the chapter publication. And don't forget that the alumni will look forward to receiving and reading your paper much more if it is issued with some degree of regularity.

Competition has been very keen in years past and we are looking forward to a revival of that spirit.

So let's get off to a flying start while there is still time left in this srmester.

Doug Willix, ~airman ~f the furniture committee, reported that the purchasmg of furmture by the Wives' Club is progressing very well, and was authorized to approve any expenditures necessary to obtain furniture and kitchen equipment. Receipts for purchases, countersigned by him, will, suffice to account for all. money spent, and .Ho~ard Bayley and Lyle Jenks, custodians of the Reorgamzat10n Fund, were authorized to release any amount necessary to him to be accounted for in the above manner.

The members of the Wives' Club, Jed by Chairman Willix's wife, Kathleen and Ann Vadman, have been allotted various amounts with which to purchase items assigned to them, and from all reports are really making the pennies s-t-r-e-t-c-h.

The house is completely unfurnished and will need a lot more than can be obtained with the $1,400 in the fund, but will be able to open under a handicap with what is available.

P~eliminary plans were made . for Homecoming, the Califorma game October 25, and VIc Sivertz was appointed to organize the program .

Incorporation of the Alumni Chapter and possibilities of eventually purchasing the present house were discussed and Alex Adair and Paul Macy were appointed to draw up a;ticles of incorporation.

Alpha

Charleston

At the beginning of the fall term last year Alpha had only two actives, but this semester the chapter is fortunate in having ten members at the old College of Charleston. Brother Charles Parker, a veteran of three years in the Naval Air Corps, and Brother Joe Cabaniss, a Marine Corps veteran are back with us. Both of these boys had a tour of duty i~ the Pacific. Charlie is one of the best tennis players at the C.ollege, and everyon~ is looking forward to big things from bm~ when the tenms season opens next spring.

Joe has achieved an outstanding scholastic record during his stay at the College. He is a senior this year. Burrell Jones has also returned from war duty. J onsie was archon of the chapter in 1944. After the summer session Brother Charles Long left the College to accept a position at the South Carolina Power Company, but Charlie still attends all the meetings and has certainly been a big help at the rush parties.

After a long search throughout Charleston Alpha finally located rooms on Rutledge Avenue just before school opened.

At the first form al meeting the following officers were elected: Harry Robison, archon; Burrell Jones, secretary; Charles Parker, treasurer; Jack Easterby, historian; Joe Cabaniss chaplain; Eduard Sturcken, warden; Allan Horres, pledg~ master. At this meeting, Jack Shuman was also re-pledged.

The rush season was opened with a wiener roast on the Isle of Palms. This was followed up two weeks later with a stag smoker at the rooms. At this writing plans are bein.., made for a moonlight cruise on the Ashley River which will be the last rush party. Every effort is being made to form an alumni chapter before the Founders' Day Banquet.

Pending this, with the consent and approval of the National, we plan to initiate new men and, with the undergraduates wl~o have returned to the campus, hope to have a member· sb1p of at least 20 members.

Our plans ~re to. c?nduct the affairs of the fraternity on t~e same ~as1s as If It were housed on the campus, with a fixed location for lunch and dinner and rent a club room, in a central location, for the gathering of th e members.

We regret that it was impossible for us to attend the Birmingham convention and understand {rom National Secretar:t, } .. AI Head, that it was very successful. It was especrally mteresting to us to learn that Howard Leake was elected to the new Council as we, in the West, know him so well.

Omicron

Alabama

Omicron's present officers are: Robert Guillot, archon; Walter H. Davis, treasurer; Carlos Swain, secretary; Bill Rogers, historian; Bob Brown, chaplain; James Rombokas, warden; and James Sansing, house manager.

Omicron has begun the fall quarter with unsurpassed zeal.

Our crystal ball glitters with a bright outlook for the future.

Our message to the fraternity at large is one of good spirit.

First, we wish to say "hello" again to those we met last August at the convention in Birmingham. We had a hilarious time and eagerly look forward to our next meeting.

Our formal dance on October 11, was a great success and we have received numerous compliments from the student body. Mother Stoddard officiated as hostess for the reception at the house, during which the brothers pinned corsages on their dates and sealed their locket favors around their necks with a kiss.

October 14, ended the informal initiation of 24 pledges. The quality and personalities of these men indicate a continuance of our high stancling on the campus. Twenty-four pledge pins are worn by Albert Fowler, Bill Abbott, Charles Murdock, Charles Ballard, George Bray, Bailey Brooks, Charles Clark, Jimmy Clark, Preston Franks, Duncan Fulton, Ferrill Griffin, Bill Hembree, Glen Hicks, Charles Holly, Bill Ham, Dwight Mcinnisb, Thomas Patterson, Emmett Speed, Joe Stowers, James Skinner, Frank Albert, Ollie Nabors, George Atkins, and Walter Moses.

Brother Norman "Tiger" Brown was recently elected representative to the Council of the Law School and is also a member of the Cotillion Club. Brother Leonard Blood is president of the School of Commerce. Brother James Clements is drum major for the "Million Dollar Band," and Brother Ohmer Trigg is adviser, and Brother Willard Young and Ben Davis are members.

Playing football with the Crimson Tide are: Harold Self, Dick Flowers, Jack Green, Mike Cassaday, Rip Collins, and Jimmy White . We are "batting a thousand" and undefeated so far in touch football . Our prospect for winning the cup this fall looks good. Last year we barely missed winning the rotating cup and this year we plan to take it.

Our chapter has grown since last reported in the STAR AND LAMP from 44 actives and 16 pledges to 60 actives and 24 pledges. Brother Frank Hawthorne, who incidentally, brought up the amend.ment of a portion of Article VI, Section 2, of the Constitution, at the convention, is now with us, having transferred from Alpha Iota a~ Auburn.

Officers elected for the fall term are: Owen R. Jones, archon; E. Demming Smith, treasurer; Fred A. Kendall, sec· retary; Ause M . Harvey, historian; Boyce M. Brown, chap· Jain; and William D. Wallace, warden.

With the completion of registration for this term, we are very glad to find that we are 18 strong, and once again in a large enough group to make a good showing amonp: other fraternities on the campus. Brothers Henry Britt, Willialll Manning, Arthur McCabe, Winston Smith, McLeod Patton, and Edwin Troy have returned from various branches of the services.

We have just completed a successful rush season and have 11 new pledges, and have entered every phase of intramural athletics, determined to come out with some of the awards.

Our chapter newspaper is being reorganized and our first issue should be out in another week.

Last year Tau was only five hundredths of a point fro!ll the top in scholarship at N. C. State and for the two years previous, we held second place.

We have struck upon a bouse that looks very good to us and are working on every angle that will help us get it.

Our District Archon, Brother Quitman Rhodes, has just made us a pleasant visit. We enjoyed seeing him and ap· predated his interest and encouragement.

-FRED A. KENDALL, JR., Secretary.

Chi

Stetson

As far as we can determine, this past summer was the first time in the history of Chi that we had a summer chapter. Our roll call approximated 35 men.

In July we pledged four Floridians, Bill Forbes, Kissimee; Aaron Swain, Haines City, Bob Dinomn, DeLand, and Joe Corsen, Stewart. The following week we initiated Willia~ R. Reese, Nick Triantafella, Jr., Steve Stevens, Bob FeasJI, Ira J . Giroir, Jr., Vernon L. Kirchoff, Jordan L. Maynard, Mack Jacoby, and Floyd Jaggers.

Jack Inman and Hugh Gower returned from the services during summer term and we are expecting and looking for· ward to seeing many more of the old boys this fall.

Our summer socials included two parties, the first at Sanalando Springs where Pi Kapps and their dates enjoyed the swimming, a picnic supper, and outdoor dancing. In August we all enjoyed a shrimp boil at Blue Springs, preceded by an afternoon of swimming and boating. From there we drove into Orange City for dancing.

Doug Teal was our delegate to the Birmingham Convcn· tion and was accompanied there by other Chi men. TheY say the Birmingham alumni put on a grand affair; everything ·went off like clock work and much was accomplished in the way of business as well as pleasure.

Chi is looking forward to a successful rush season.

To expeclite the many functions of the chapter, the new archon has appointed committees, noW busily engaged in arranging activities for the semester.

This semester at Purdue finds many brothers returned frolll the service; and Omega is hard at work, continuing to rank high among the fraternities on campus.

O~ficers for this semester arc: John Carpenter, archon; Bob

Femera, treasurer; Ned Letts, secretary; Gregg Camp, warden; Harold Monk, historian; John Miller, chaplain; Ted C!lmp, pledge master; Frank Hall, steward; and Tom V1ckery, bouse manager.

Rush week ended October 2, with a record number of pledges taking their oaths. Even though we didn't pledge as many men as some fraternities on the campus, we feel that the 31 boys we did pledge are really the "cream of the crop."

They are: John Beidler, Wade Brewton, Fred Brock Reece Campbell, Harold Combs, Don Davidson, Don Dickson 'Jimmy Fleisher, Geaye Floyd, Bill Graves, Larry Hedgecoth Frank Holley, _George Johnson, Noody L~wis, John Mats~n, Vic McKenz1e, Bob Moore, Jimmy Murray, George Pena Harold Phillips, Carl Pease, Jack Raudenbush, David Reid,' Jimmy Saunders,. ~ erome Scheer, Bob Small, John Stenens, Louis Sweet, Wilham Veal, Judson Walker, and James Willis. Most of the~ are freshmen, so we are sure of an active chapter at F1onda for years to come. We would like to take this opport~nity to thank our alumni for the nice list of recommendatiOns sent us and hope the above list includes your boys.

Intr~murals hadn't started as of this writing but, with 35 actives, plus our pledges, we feel sure we will have teams in each spor.t that will rate sec.ond to none. Recently we bav~ been fa.Irl;y wei) down t~e hst at the final scoring, but won t be sattsf1ed w1th anythmg but the top this year.

Our former housemother, Mrs. Belle T. Rood, has returned after a much missed absence during the war years. Welcome home, "Mother" Rood.

Our dining .room is,in operation with Frank (Buddy) Hall as steward. F1fty-three of the members and pledges eat here regularly and this is proving to be both profitable to them and to the chapter.

Plans are now being made for two gala week ends this semester, Homecoming and Fall Frolics. Bud Monk is social chairman and Tye Youngblood and Tom Stack are in 23

charge of H omeco ming plans. We are trying to make Homecoming the best ever held at F lorida.

As yo u all know, Alph a Xi got off to a go od start on it~ reacti va tion with the initiation of seven men in April at Alpha Tau . Sin ce then the chapter has bee n bo:stered by th e return fr om service of brothers John Smiley, Bill Cosgriff, Ru ss Atkinso n, and pledges Tom Cahill , Ray J ef fr ey, H enry Lenz and T om Perdue.

The chapter house at 33 Sidney Place was turned back into our hands by the fraternity realty co mpany on August 1. A co mp!ete redeco rating program was started at once by the broth ers and pledges. After this was completed new furnishin gs were purchased for the chapter rooms.

The fi rst social affair of the new Alpha X I was a h ouse wa rming on August 31.

Registration for the fall terms started on September 18 and thi s was immediately follo wed by two rush dances on September 21 and October 5. Then on Octo ber 12 Alpha X i brought something new to Broo klyn Poly. We held a joint dance at th e chapter house w ith the Alpha Alpha Chapter of Tri-Delta Sorority from Adelphi College on Long I sland. It turn ed out to be th e highlight of our social season so far. T wo other joint affairs with local sororities have been planned for late November and D ecember.

On Octo ber 18 a smoker was held under the auspices of t he New York Alumni Chap ter. Some sixty alumni, brothers, pledges, and prospective pledges had a great time. We were honored by the presence of fo rmer national presidents Albert W . Meisel and William J . (Pro f) Berry. " Prof" gave us a fi rst-hand report of the nation al convention at Birmingham.

On October 25 Bob Blazek, AI Borokavitch, T om Ca hill, J ack Callaghan , Ray J effrey and Henry Lenz were ini tiated 路 into the chapter. This brings th e total active roll of Alpha X i to twenty brothers. There are still ten pledges and a long list of prospective pledges who have been contacted.

During summer we pledged 13 excellent men and our fall crop of ru shees numbered 30 . In mid-summer with summ er rushees, and dates, we made a trip to Big Ridge recreational park, where we enj oyed swimming, ca noeing, and ate watermelon.

Our new hou semoth er, Mrs. L . M. Logan, who comes from Dyersburg, Tenn., has been a helpful addition to the chapter ; and alumnus Clark M cM ahan has succeeded to t~e post of Dist ri ct Archon. We feel confident Clark will fill th~S post with dignity and dispatch and look forwa rd to hiS visits.

We have profited by the recent return from the services of the follo wing brothers: Sam Browder, H arold Brown, Bob D eal, Odus Johnson, Rex McGh ee, John Mille~, BeverlY Ramsey, Willard Reel, T . H . Tucker, and Brother Bob Talley, transfer from Sigma, Uni versity of S. C. We were so rry to lose Brother Geo rge Stanley, who has returned home.

forward to next year's game Ill Knoxville when we can reciprocate.

All fraternity houses at Tennessee were decorated from lop to bottom for the big Tennessee-Alabama game, climaxing homecoming. Alpha Sigma won a citation for having one of the three best decorated hoâ&#x20AC;˘;ses on campus. Our central theme, planned and directed by Charlie Ma~tin, with the capable assistance of Bob Ring, was a revolvmg Merry-goround with the Tennessee Vols riding the "Barna Red Elephants." Brother Tom Vaughan put on one of the biggest Barn-warmin's ever seen at "The Hill." Barnwarmin', the chief social function of the year at Tennessee, was held in conjunction with Homecoming. Some of the visiting alumni Were: Emmett Jackson, Sam Eddy, Robert Sneed, Earl Zwingle C. E. Rollins Barney Tucker, Sam Steele, R. C. McKelvey, Grant Roy, Dr. Sam Jones, Dr. J. L. Van Hoosier, Willard Richardson David Robertson, Walter Burnett, Ben Wyche, Capt. Jam~s C. Adkins, Joe Hennessey, Barry Cecil, James Tombras H. E. Hammer, and Spears Vavalides. It did us good to 'see so many alumni and we appreciate their interest and hope they enjoyed every minute back at "the Hill."

For the next few months we will have the privilege of entertaining the pledges and officers of all sororities on campus. Each week we decorate our house in a different sorority's color and give a buffet supper and entertainment in their honor afterward.

Then, too, we are planning our biggest and best Founder's Day formal. A cordial invitation is extended to any of our other chapters who can make it. Tom Vaughan is planning a Christmas theme with the crowning of the Rose of Pi Kappa Phi as the climax.

Alpha Upsilon

Drexel

Since the last issue of the STAR AND LAMP we elected Fred Kraber, archon i G~y Hess,_ treasurer; Tom LaRoe, secretary; Bob Lake, htstortan; Btll Hartranft, chaplain, and AI Andruscavage, warden. Bob Lake was elected house manager at a later date and resigned as historian . Joe Shields was elected to replace him.

AU at Drexel has again attained that prominence which it so sadly relinquished in the Spring of 1943 when it closed its doors of activity. <!>n October 18, after several months of searching and negotiating, we opened our doors for fraternal activity once more, activity which we believe will be unsurpassed. After several months of searching, we found the Lewis house as a possibility and, through the untiring efforts of the alumni chapter and the influential efforts of Brother Ralph Noreen, chairman of the national's finance committee we succeeded in acquiring 3405 Powelton Ave., next door to our old house at 3401. It is by far the most beautiful house on the campus and will furnish AU with a home worthy of its name. It will not only inspire active brothers and pledges to new vigor and keener interest, but will promote the possibility of recruiting pledges of Pi Kapp caliber.

Newly returned brothers Gene Kraber, Jack Gardner.

Leo Hauf, Bill Calkins, John Gaussman, Roland Dewees and pledges Anthony Bracalente and Carl Schleder were welcomed to our somewhat depleted ranks in September. We lost a valuable member when past archon, Jim Todd graduated in September. ' Brothers Bob Anderson, Warren Perrine, and pledge Jack Russel were married recently. The chapter extends to them its congratulations and sincerest wishes for a bright future.

Alpha Phi

Illinois Institute of Technology

Top news of this term from Alpha Phi is the return of our house from the Navy. The actives all pitched in at the beginning of the semester to clean and redecorate the house.

After the purchase of new furniture, the house was considered ready for rush week.

As yet the house does not have a commissary. It was deemed more prudent to forego this venture until conditions were more stable. At the present the men are taking meals at an Institute-sponsored dining-room for fraternity men.

Archon, John Pottenger; secretary, DeWitt Pickens; treasurer, Arnold Mullins; chaplain, Bill Pottenger; historian, Ralph Belke; warden, Bob Montblanc; and house manager Clarence Weeks, are the officers who are steering the chapte; in its expanded post-war program.

Due to the return of many men from the armed forces swelling the roster to 40 actives, Pi Kappa Phi is now th~ largest fraternity on the campus. Only seven new men were pledged because of crowded facilities. They are: Carl Clifton George Hallinan, Stewart McDannel, Ed Morse, Bob Ross' Frank Rubie, and Ted Zagulla. ' Alpha Phi placed second in the Interfraternity golf tournament, and we are now in the early stages of a touchball tourney, with bright prospects in view. Paul Kerby is sports manager for the fall term.

Congratulations to Brothers Pickens and Ralph Belke on their recent marriage.

The food problem is a tough one for social chairman¡ John Sachs. Nevertheless, he has managed several fine affairs thus far.
