The Cover Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower overlooking the Campus at University of North Carolina, one time home of Kappa Chapter. Will post-war expansion restore Pi Kappa Phi to such colleges? Using the blank provided on the inside back cover will help provide the answer.

(This intaesting story of the work of a distinguished North Carolina Pi Kapp is reprinted from The New York Times.)

AT WORK MANY a potentially good forum falls flat as a radio production because of lack of preparation by the producers and speakers, many oi whom still labor under the assumption that it is only necessary to get two or more speakers of opposing views before the microphone on a controversial subject in order to have a good show. The result is usually a poor show and poor education.

On "Town Meeting of the Air " we have been experimenting for a number of years now with different formats and varying degrees of preparation and have recently evolved what gives promise of being the most satisfactory method we have yet devised. The format consists of a brief introduction by the moderator, two carefully related addresses by the two principal speakers, a two-minute analysis of these addresses by two aualified interrogators, followed by discussion among all four speakers, a sta tion break, then questions from the audience during which the interrogators are charged with the responsibility of seeing that the principal speakers do not dodge any relevant questions.

First comes the selection of the topics. As our program is produced for a national network and many stations overseas, we are necessarily confined to subjects of national and international interest. This naturally includes such universal topics as religion, education, science and philosophy. In our office ·at Town Hall we have a staff of ten people (it should be fifteen) and we maintain an up-to-date research file on all topics of possible interest to us as well as an extensive file of speakers classified according to their qualifications. A rich source of Town Meeting topics is our file of weekly mail reports (we receive on the average more than 2;ooo letters per week) containing suggestions from listeners.

We hold weekly program meetiT)gs 2

By

GEORGE V. DENNY, JR., KAPPA President, The Town Hall, Inc. to select topics four or five weeks ahead and at each of these meetings we prepare a li st of ten possible topics which we distribute to our audience each week as a questionnaire and ask for a vote on the topic of greatest interest.

Wh en th e topic has been selected Mrs. Marian Carter, the director of our radio division, who has held this position for the past nine years, and her assistant, Mrs. Elizabeth Colclough, must then persuade the right speakers to participate.

Our speakers accept on the condition that they send in a rough draft of their speech the Saturday preced · ing the Thursday broadcast. This is no t only for clearance as to network policy but principally so that we can make purely technical suggestions to them as to revisions that chould be made in order to present a coordinated program which will make good listening.

Standard practical suggestions at th;s point are " Shorten sentences," " omit ten-dollar words," "use picture words and phrases," "include facts - new facts, if possible," "refer to your opponents and colleagues by name," "speak directly to their arguments," "illustrate your points with flesh and blood stories," " inject a note of humor."

Next comes the speakers confernee at ten o'c:lock the day of the broadcast. A first draft of the two principal speeches has been sent to each speaker and the interrogators earlier in th e week and at this conference the attempt is made to correlate the speeches so that, if possible, the speakers agree on facts and discuss the same facts of the main question. For instance, if statistics

p:

are used each speaker is asked t~ refer to the same statistics, if posS1 ble, unless conflicting statistics con of stitute part of the argument. on Unless the principal speakers ar old hands on Town Meeting, \f take them to the auditorium to mak a recording of their voices. Each rt cording is then played back to t11 1 speaker and suggestions are mad :~ for improvements in the quality o delivery. of More often than not the rest 0 ter the day is spent in revising t~ for speeches. The heaviest burden u: ha ually falls upon the second speakt of but not infrequently the first speakt by does a complete rewrite job in ordt to strengthen his statement followin ~: the conference.

In ord er to avoid the unhapP: ch confusion which comes when two r three people try to speak at once an ~ the listener hasn't the foggiest ide: su who is talking, we use only one n1~ Cl crophone and each time a memb1 fo 1 of the panel speaks the moderat~ c( identifies him by name. If a speakf in; attempts to go unreasonably beyon· his allotted time, the moderator pU 1 ti1 a firm hand over the remainder c Ill! the manuscript at the end of a sel' th tence and says, "Thank you, 1\~r ve Blank," and leads the audience 11 ur applause. ac It goes without saying that tacl so diplomacy and firmness, when neC tic essary, are essential qualificati~~ for a successful moderator. r• w· should be serious but good humorr e and never lose his temper. He shOU . Ill be reasonably familiar with ever ~ subject discussed -:tnd must posse: w enough mental agility to jump frof subject-matter to the technical ~, a! pects of the production if he's go!P fa to keep the program moving at p lively pace and with proper order. 11 ~ must quietly control, but not don gl inate each discussion. And, abo~ fr all, be mu st be scrupulously fair 1 Ia his decisions.

UNDER THE STUDENT'S LAMP Pi Kappa Phi has had a definite, well planned scholarship program for over twenty years. As with almost every other form of activity in our fraternity the war brought our scholarship work to an end, but with reactivation of our chapters, scb<:Jlarship agl1-in assumes its fundamental importance in the progress and success of Pi Kappa Phi. The motto "Knowledge, or Wisdom, Conquers," which appears in the Greek on our scholarship insignia, is recognized as stating a vital, practical truth, for it is pretty generally conceded that the war was finally won by the side with the "know how" or knowledge derived in the field and the laboratory. And ,in continued recognitiem of this fact our government is subsidizing numerous university research programs. If war in the future is outlawed, one of the chief ~r:easons will be the universal knowleage of the terrible weapons availa:b'le and the forces to be contended .With which, if unloosed, wiil lead to -universal destruction. Knowledge will ultimately outlaw war.

One phase of our scholarship program .is .the recognition of our out'4

Chairman of Scholarship Committee standing scholars in our active mem bership. These active members, very carefully chosen, are known as Pi Kappa Phi Scholars. Not more than nine may be chosen in any one year, and to be eligible the member must be a second term junior or a senior, in good standing, whose scholarship is outstanding in his own college or university. Extra-curricular activity and achievement are not considered at all in the selection of these Scholars.

The first group of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars was chosen in 192 7, and the last group was chosen in 1942.

Sixteen such groups totalling 123 men have achieved this recognition of Pi Kappa Phi Scholar, the highest honor conferred by our fraternity on an undergraduate member. The seventeenth group, the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 194 7, will be chosen during the summer, after the records of

ED by record attendance of 14 in educators, a serious attitude to.sign· ~:~d the problems affecting fraterni)kin· f at the present time, and resoluIOns dealing with such the 38th anse.ss10n · ' nual be fr of the National Inter5 ~vas IIa~e~mty Conference was held at the ~ ter e Commodore, New York City, e~ted deo~ember 29-30. Eighty-four presiear. a! U. 5 ':11 d deans of men of educationyth 1 29 Institutions joined 126 delegates, 0 ~~ u alternates, and 15 visitors to make · t Ph a total of 308 as against 261 men 1 w o •v.rec · J· E h attended the sessions last year. ·. a:r· of the 59 member fraternities hb b ththe conference was represented 0 days.

Wh~nhdistinct contrast to the problems IC faced the conference in the ast f lVe years were those considered P th. ou' 5 year, brought on by the tremendca 5 Increase of students on fraternity mpu~e~ throughout the country. ·eived ect Reahzmg that in this unprecedent:andi· the Prosperity there is a menace to · win! Natelfare of college fraternities, the 'chol· Pa lona! Interfraternity Conference ~chol· nired unanimously two highly sig' phi ,~cant resolutions as follows: ;t wili en Resolved: That, ( 1) this confereders th~e recognizes the need of extending : Dt bershpportunity for fraternity memaff}" 1~ to those who desire such have Pu: Iat10n.

necessary temporary increase in the size of the fraternity chapter in the post-war period, this conference recommends that its national fraternity members discourage the continuance beyond the present emergency of such over-sized chapters in an effort to maintain the fundamental character and purpose of the fraternity chapter as an opportunity for the development of the principles of brotherhood within its membership.''

In addition to these was a third resolution dealing with the right of fraternities to select their own members. This follows: "The American college fraternities and sororities have developed over a period of one hundred and seventy years. Throughout all that time they have exercised their established right to govern themselves and to select their own members. Their proud war records evidence once again the soundness of these democratic rights.

"Originally guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States in prohibiting any abridgment of the right of assembly which embraces the right to form voluntary associations, they have been re-enunciated in the Charter of the United Nations as fundamental freedoms to which every human being is entitled.

"Therefore, the Interfraternity Research and Advisory Council reaffirms the policy of the· American college fraternities and sororities in exercising these rights, irrespective of the views of any non-members, as essential human rights."

Again the conference felt the necessity of insisting upon its ban on hazing and hell week practices in the following resolution: "Resolved: With the earnest conviction that the national fraternity system offers a valuable contribution to the campuses of America, the conference again affirms its belief that hazing and all forms of hell week practices are not properly a part of the national fraternity system, materially detract from its prestige and merit, and afford a reasonable basis

of increasing anti-fraternity sentiment in this country, and it asserts that a more vigorous effort should be made by the fraternity members and particularly by the officers to eliminate completely such practices in the current year."

Other resolutions call upon member fraternities to initiate programs of organized chapter house discussions in their respective chapters in an experimental way ; affirmed the policy of the National Interfraternity Conference in respecting the integrity of chapters and individual memberships of fraternities belonging to the Association of Education Fraternities; expressed to the presidents, deans, and other educational officers present at the conference appreciation of their attendance, hearty cooperation, and leadership in promoting fraternity on their respective campuses; paid tribute to Chairman Maurice Jacobs and others who made the conference a success.

A fitting recognition of the effective service of Miss E. Lilliam Doeringer was made when she was called from the registration table over which she had presided for twenty years to hear a resolution of appreciation passed by a standing vote in the National Interfraternity Conference.

Included in the resolution was a similar· tribute to Mr. Howard Heitman, who for the nineteenth -time was recording the conference session as a stenotypist.

The initial session of the conference heard Chairman Maurice Jacobs, Phi Epsilon Pi, give an impressive review of the activities of the Executive Committee and conference officials. He opened his address with the following statement: "The problem is no longer one of survival, but of properly integrating this large student body into our · · present fraternities ."

Later in his address he commented as follows: "After Mrs. Glenn Frank had spoken at the University of Minnesota, a check was made to determine

s

whether her presence had in any way affected the fraternity situation on that campus, and we were pleased to find that in no way had she disturbed fraternity loyalties. The Frank furor has passed in the night, like other attacks on the fraternity system."

There was an echo of the past in his reference to the fact that a chapter of TNE had been reported at a southern university, but that this organization of unsavory memory had been discouraged. He also paid his respects to those who persist in hell week activities in the following statement: "It is most discouraging to find that after all of our years of talking and acting against 'hell week' activities, we have not convinced all fraternity leaders that our attitude is correct. A menace to the fraternity system persists in the sophomoric concept of fraternities and of their true functions which is still shown by a few individuals. Their minds seem not to have developed beyond the idea of the fraternity as a high school lark and an organized paddling party. Astonishingly enough, a very few of these members are placed by their own fraternities in situations of influence by appointment to official positions. They are the real enemies of the fraternity as an institution.

Fortunately, their childish conceptions a r e gradually diminishing through constant attack on the part of the better fraternities, abetted by the colleges and the conference on silly horse-play and 'kid-stuff'."

Dean Joseph A. Bursley, who has served for seven years as educational adviser to the conference and is retiring from his deanship at the University of Michigan, February 1, included in his annual report the fol lowing statement: "So far as I know, I am the only non-Greek ever to have held office in the conference, and now that I am about to retire and pass on the torch to my successor I want to express to the membership my sincere appreciation of the many courtesies you have extended to me in the past and of your confidence that my recommendations concern ing fraternities and their problems have been fair and unbiased, even though you may not have agreed with all of them."

He warned against unusually large, unwieldly chapters as, he said , they 6

have a tendency to develop cliques and to suffer from conflict and dissension because of crowded conditions. He also recommended that more than ever before house mothers would be of incalculable aid in meeting many of the problems with which fraternities are now faced.

That today college presidents and deans regard the college fraternity as an integral part of the educative program of the college was brought out in a report of the law committee by its chairman, David A. Embury Acacia. He stated that out of tw~ hundred and seventy-four replies there were only two that could be labeled as definitely antagonistic to fraternities , whereas the great majority indicated definite approval of Greek-letter organ izations.

As the result of the passage of an amendment to the constitution, from now on there will be only one secretary in the list of officers for the National Interfraternity Conference.

Officers who will serve for the year ahead are the following: chairman , David A. Embury, New York, Acacia; vice chairman, Frank A. Mullen, New York, Alpha Gamma Rho; secretary, Dr. Gilbert W. Mead, president Washington College, Chestertown, Md., Phi Gamma Delta; treasurer, William J. Barnes, Maplewood, N. J ., Theta Xi; educational adviser, Dr. Wilbur Cramblet, president Bethany College, Bethany, W.Va., Alpha Sigma Phi; educational adviser emeritus, Dean Joseph H. Bursley, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.; members of Executive Committee: Walter Collins, New York, Psi Upsilon; John C. O!wine, Maplewood, N. ]., Chi Phi; Leon C. Stowell , New York, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, class of 1949; Dr. Benjamin Fine, New York, Alpha Epsilon Pi; Frank H. Myers, Washington, D. C., Kappa Alpha Order; Christian A. Natvig, Bronxville, Kappa Sigma, class of 1948; Ben S. Fisher, Washington, D. C., Sigma Chi; Albert E. Paxton, New York, Pi Kappa Alpha: Dean A. Ray Warnock, State College, Pa., Beta Theta Pi, class of 194 7.

The Gold Medal for Distinguished Service rendered "to youth through the American college fraternity" was bestowed upon Lloyd Garfield Balfour and posthumously upon Hamilton Wallace Baker following the luncheon Friday afternoon. Albert S.

Baird, Chi Psi, gave the citation Mr. Balfour is a former nationn president of Sigma Chi Fraternit and was twice chairman of the :Na so, tional Interfraternity Confereno tir Mr. Baker, who died June 18, 1941 cir was a member of Kappa Sigma Fr.a IIi ternity and had served as vice cha.J 1 FJ, man of the National InterfraternJI. re, Conference. His award was receiv~ M:

by Christian A. Natvig. .

One of the things which fraternil: gn men need to do, according to J)r of Edgar J. Fisher, Alpha Delta Ph In< assistant director of the Institute 0 co1 International Education, is to mak og: sure that the fraternities contribUI M:: very definitely and in new ways I IIi the fundamental academic purpose an of the colleges and universities. on an of these ways, he pointed out, was I sui help larger numbers of foreign stu ad, dents to come to the college campust by providing board and room f~ Ad them, thus enriching the life of tb ac1 chapter through the cultural and ~du Bo cational contribution that they m1gb be able to make. Another way 11 suggested was occasionally to ent~1 tain foreign students in fraternii. Jr: houses. He reported that betwe rna forty and fifty thousand student IIa from all over the world wanted 1. ha, attend educational institutions th 1 Pai S. year in the United States.

One of the tributes paid at tb Jol National Interfraternity Conferenr s went to Dean Floyd Field, Tbel e~ Chi, who retired th is year as dean c ic students at Georgia ¡ Institute 1 Fri Technology.

Fraternal bonds are strengthened by tradition. Since the Alpha Xi Alumni constitutes the backbone of the New York Alumni Chapter, their traditions necessarily permeate into current functions. And so the Annual Christmas Dinner now ~ombined with celebration of Pi Kappa Phi Founder's Day, IS t~e outstanding function of the year in New York. f Stxty-six Brothers, alumni of ten chapters and the actives ~ A_Ip,ha Xi, gathered about the festive board at Brother Ray rtetg s Lafayette Hotel, December 18 and enjoyed a memorable evening. Past National President Berry, as Toastmaster, opened festivities with the candle lighting ceremony, calling Upon Archon Cosgriff of the Active Chapter to light a new ~andlc from last year's stump, symbolizing the rekindling of raternal spirit.

J\nother old Alpha Xi tradition calls for the presentation of ~- Stiver cup to the first born son, or a silver spoon to the trst born daughter of a brother. This year Brother Jensen w~ the proud father to receive the cup for his son. . e were honored by the presence of Brother J obn W. ~ etmler, Alpha Upsilon, our present National Historian, and ehwas called upon to tell us of the status and doings of the ot ~r chapters throughout the country, which is always a ~~bJect of general interest.

Brother Cosgriff spoke for the Active Chapter and introduced the Chapter's "Baby" Brother Ryan, the last man to be initiated. The evening was brought to a ,close by Past Na~icnal President Meisel. Since Brother Meisel is also a :·ounder of Psi Sigma Fraternity, which ultimately became the Alpha Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, his reminiscences of the chapter's forty years existence brought forth many interesting and amusing happenings and a better understanding of Alpha Xi traditions to the brothers from other chapters and the new actives who will be called upon to carry them on and pass t:~e m on from class to class.

After this initiation we will have sixteen pledges left who will be eligible for initiation next quarter.

During the fall quarter we had a splendid football team but, unfortunately, we lost out in the semi-finals and only got to third place. Our basketball team is one of the unbeaten ones on the campus as our team has some of the best shots in the league, and we are sure of winning the cup. If we win this we may also get the big rotating cup.

We have had two bouse dances this quarter at which we entertained several rushees, all of whom we pledged.

During the last quarter we bought quite a few pieces of furniture, and have bad much interior and exterior work done on our house; and this has really helped the looks of things in general.

furnished by Henry Westbrook and his orchestra and a white diamond shaped locket, mounted with a gold fraternity seal, was presented to each of the ladies. The grand march was probably the largest ever held in the ballroom, with around 150 Pi Kapps and guests participating. Most of the success was due to the hard work of John Holland, chairman of the Dance Committee, and his able assistants, Bob Lake and Fred Brogden.

Carrying out an old Sigma tradition, the pledges gave the actives a party on December 19, and a very good time was had by all.

Cater Floyd is vice-president of the German Club and Henry Randolph is our interfraternity council representative.

Sigma won the intramural football championship at South Carolina.

It would be hard to single out any outstanding player because all worked together to form a very effective unit. We were coached "by Pi KapP James "Droopy" Atwell, a member of the varsity team, and

Chi has been very active socially. At the beginning of the quarter, a rush party was held at Lake Wcnoa, near DeLand.

Members, rushees, and dates enjoyed boating and a picnic style supper. Throughout the term a series of informal parties have been held at the house. And an even greater social calendar is planned for the winter quarter, which will be climaxed by the annual "Parade of Orchids" on March 29.

At recent Homecoming Pi Kappa Phi's float won first prize in the parade, and our archon, Bill Reese, was elected Mayor of Homecoming by the student body . A large number of Chi Alumni were back for the event, and a buffet supper was given by the chapter in their honor.

Two of our brothers have been singularly honored by elections to hi gh offices on the campus. Bill Reese is president of students of the School of Business, and James Duffett is president of the honorary chemistry fraternity.

They are now in the process of learning all about the fraternity, and will be ready for initiation around January 10. We also have about five town men who drop in quite often and lend a hand with anything there is to do. Our a lums have come to life with a great deal of vigor and arc working closer with the active chapter than ever before. We realize this is only the beginning but, we have to start somewhere, and this is sometmng to build upon.

As for our social functions, we have had only two firesides 路 as of this wri ting. They were both very successful and we got to know each other better. Everyone was a total stranger at the beginning of school-now we are just one big bunch, aiming for a common goal. At the present time, we are planning a mid-winter informal, with all the trimmings, and also a few more firesides thrown in. We celebrated Founders' Day on the lOth of December with about 30 a lums present.

Our future looks brighter than it has in the past ten years.

After our initiation in January, we will have 20 actives living in the house which is the most we have had in a long time.

We are trying to get more town men to help balance the house and, with the excellent support of the alums, we can see no limit to what Pi Kappa Phi can and will do on the University of Washington campus in the future. You, that is all chapters of Pi Kappa Phi, just keep your eyes on the Pacific Northwest as you will be hearing a lot from us from now on.

The following men were elected officers to serve the remainder of this and next semester: Bill Neale, archon; Bob Fe~reir, treasurer; Carleton Bliss, secretary; Ken Enzor, histonan; James B. Hendry, warden; and Alex Gable, chaplain.

We have initiated the following new brothers this semester: Frederick C. Brock, Lewis A. Sweet, John E. Matson Jr. and Victor W. McKenzie. This brings our total actives' to a record for this chapter, and we are planning an initiation' in February which should bring our number to well over 50.

Our two newest pledges are: L. William Elgin, Jr., Miami, and James Tharin, Jacksonville. This gives us 29 pledges and we hope to pledge more during next semester's rush week.

December 5-6 weekend was the occasion of the annual Fail Frolics and the music of Les Brown and his orchestra was en joyed by all. On Friday night we had our annual pledge banquet at the Thomas Hotel in downtown Gainesville. A picnic was held Saturday afternoon at Brother Bud Monk's lake shore camp in Keystone Heights.

The Jacksonville alumni honored the chapter with a dance at the Friday Music Hall in Jacksonville, the week end of the Georgia-Florida game. The whole chapter wishes to extend its thanks for an enjoyable time.

Wednesday night before Christmas vacation we observed our annual Christmas party. Following dinner the new officers were installed, after which all brothers gathered to listen to a recording of Dicken's Christmas Carol. The party closed with a toast to our brothers lost in the war led by Brother Fred Devant.

We are proud that Brother BilJ Harrell has been elected president of the freshman law class; also he has been nominated to Florida's Blue Key, the University's highest honor.

On October 2, 1946, Alpha Delta reactivated 'after an absence from the Washington campus of about three years. In 1943, practically our whole house received "Greetings" from Uncle Sam almost simultaneously and, consequently, we closed up.

But, 1946 is another year and we are out full blast, all ready to make our chapter one of the best on the campus. We started with five actives and a big house and lots of ideas. We hand-picked our men as boarders, with the idea in mind of making them all pledges at some future time, and our plan has worked beyond all expectations. At present, we have 15 pledges and they arc a swell bunch of guys, all full of fire.

For those of you who may be acquainted with the Alpha Mu chapter house, the fir st floor rooms have been repainted, the fire places repaired and new leather upholstered furniture brightens the li ving roo m.

Homecoming found the chapter hou se filled with familiar old voices, mingled with those of the new. Alumni members who had not visited us sinc;e graduation returned for a gala weekend. Alpha Theta at Michigan State sent six of their fellows to help with the festivities and a perfect weekend developed. Football movies, tap dancing and feats of magic highlighted th e Saturday evening's entertainment.

Founders' Day was celebrated with an evening banquet followed by appropriate short talks by the historian, faculty advisors, and Dean Hammond, of the engineering school, a brother Pi Kapp.

The annual pledge dinner dance was held on December 14 with 45 brothers and pledges in attendance. The Christmas theme was ca rried out in the decorations. The decorating committee may well be proud, for the job of decorating was beauti fu lly planned and executed. AI Mcilvaine and his social committee deserve great credit for planning the dance, which proved to be the highlight of the season on campus. To round out our social program, Clii Omega and Kappa Delta sororities were entertain ed at Sunday afternoon teas.

This fall we entered campus politics strongly by organizing a new political party which startled the university students with its clea r cut and sound principles. Our campaign featured such stunts as posting huge placards and dropping thousands of leaflets over the campus from a low-flying plane.

Happy New Year brothers and alumni, and may this bring new laurels to Pi Kappa Phi. William Carey is leading the chapter and doing a swell job as archon, J on Doerflinger is doing an equally fine job as treasurer; Jack Marte is O.K. as secretary; practically all the brothers in the bouse have some office or job; and are a ll exerting eve ry effort to make this year a milestone in our chapter history.

Keith Spiker, intramural chairman, led the fraternity to another honor in interfraternity touch football, coming out second in the Class A touch football playoff. Another trophy will be on the mantle for that. The two basketball teams, entered in competition, look as if they will be even better than the footb all. Peter Cuff was elected president of the winter sports club, and Eldred Harman and William Carey are active in livestock and poultry judging on the college teams. Bill Carey is local advertising manager of the AGRICULTURIST, Pete Cuff handles the joke column for the magazine; Bob Spearing is on th e staff of the VETERINARY STUDENT, and Forrest Goetsch helps keep the IOWA ENGINEER circulat:ng.

Pi Kapps are also represented on many other organizations and clubs on campus. Jack Fletcher is active in Pi Tau Sigma, professional, as well as ASME; Vern Townley is back in the AICHE again; Jack Marte is in lAS; Institute of Aeronautical Sciences; Bob Hicks in the forestry club; Bill Kern, Agecon club; Bill Craumer, Agronomy club; and Jerry Schenk in the Block and Bridle club. In athletics we find Jon Doerflinger, J erry Schenk, and Vern Townley out for track on the cross country team .

Founders' Day was celebrated December 8, at the chapter house, with a dinner and speeches by alumni and undergraduates. Russ Litchenstein flew down for the event and we were gratified at the fine tournout of alumni.

Pi Kappa Phi's Rose Formal is to be given the last of May and any interested brother wishing to attend should contact us for speci fic information. ALMICRON is again being pub . lished-if you are not getting it, we don't have your addresses -so send them in.

Socially speaking, the house has informal parties every other week, as well as exchanges with sororities about every week.

Several informal firesides have been given and more are '16

scheduled . These parties arc usually given on Friday evening and are highly entertaining.

Since the house has room for only about 30 fellows we try to keep our pledges living in for at least two quarters before initiating them, as we feel this policy brings more interest to the pledges as well as helps improve th eir scholastic standings. â&#x20AC;˘ - Boo SPEARING, historian

Others elected are: Mel Slaney, chaplain; Bill Burkhart, historian; Bob Boydston, warden; and Don Freeman house manager. Bob Applegate and Ch<irles Farr were el~cted steward and assistant treasurer, respectively.

Traveling counselor Bob Morse a ttended this meeting of Alpha Phi, and conferred with the chapter on vario us aspects of operation of the house.

Founders' Day was observed in Chi cago by a joint meeting of Alpha Phi and the Chicago Alu mni Chapter. The traditional banquet was held in the rooms of the Chi cago Bar Association, and both branches of the fraternity were well represented. Cy Lowe district archon, and John F. White, dean of students at Illinois Tech, were the featured speake rs of the evening.

The New Year was heralded with a New Year's party at the chapter hou se. The party was well attended, in spite of poor weather and many men having gone h ome for the holid ays.

Our next item on the social calendar was a very successful dance, sponsored by the pledges who made all arrangements and provided entertainment.

The chapter house was returned by the navy last summer, but so me work remains to be done to th e building. As yet, the date of formal initiation of pledges has not been set, but the entire cl ass has passed its written exa min ation.

Activities on the sports scene show the chapter to be performing quite well; however, the Illin ois Tech interfraternity touchball tourney was lost in a 2-0 final game, and along with it, a traditional half-barrel of beer. At the present time, Pi Kappa Phi is the only team to remain undefeated in the double-elimination basketball tou rn ament.
