Brol her Wallace Butts, renowned coach at the University of Georgia.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA last season boasted the nation's only untied and undefeated major college football team and the man responsible for the Bulldogs' rise to national fame on the gridiron was plump, jovial Wallace Butts, a member of Pi Kappa Phi. Butts, now in hi~ eighth season as Georgia's head coach, bas bad sensational success since he became the guiding genius of the Bulldogs in 1939. Since that time his teams have played in four major Bowl games (Rose, Orange, Oil and Sugar) and won all of them . Their record under Butts also includes a couple of Southeastern Conference championships. In eight seasons under Butts, the Bulldogs have posted an overall record of 59 victories, 21 losses and two ties, not counting the four Bowl wins. That's something to shoot at considering rhat Wally is still ~ youngster as head coaches go. The popular head mentor of the Georgia teams has, i.n the last eight seasons, ascended to the very top among the country's outstanding football coaches and since he is only 41 years old , as of last February 7, he has a lot of good years left. Exactly two years after he took over the coaching reins at Georgia in .1939, th e ~ulldogs, sparked by tbetr All Amencan ace Frank Sinkwich, were playing T~xas Christian University in the Orange Bowl at Miami where they won, 40-26. The next year, led by Sinkwich and sophomore star, Charley Trippi, they won 2

nine out of 10 games and walloped UCLA in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., 9 to 0. The war interrupted the Bulldogs' achievements but they came back in 194.5 with an Oil Bowl champion. But the past season, 1946, was by far Butts' greatest at Georgia. His colorful Bulldogs won every game of a 10-game schedule and then defeated University of North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans, 20-10, in a thrill-packed contest on New Year 's Day. In addition to other achievements, Butts has developed the following allAmerican players at Georgia: Frank Sinkwich, halfback. 1941-42; George Poschner, end, 1942; Mike Castronis, tackle, 1946; and Charles Trippi, l<lalfback, 1946.

Georgia's highly successful f~~ 1 coach -was born in MilledgeVI st e, Baldwin County, Ga., on FebruarY, re~f' 1905, the son of Mr. and Mrs. ~int lace Butts, Sr. He received his earto ~ education in the public schools an that city and at Georgia MiJitStios J College from which be was gradua 1then in 1924 after an outstanding rec Offj as a Cadet student.

What Every Pi Kapp Veteran Should Know This is the first of a series of articles containing practical tips and important information for the hundreds of P Kapps who are veterans of World Wars I and II. The author, Robert C. McLees, Beta '36, is a Veterans Administration Contact Representative, and a previous contributor to THE STAR AND LM'IP.

sation or pension, education or training under the G. I. Bill (or very nearly any other benefit other than the 52-20 (Readjustment Allowance) Club or Guaranty of Loan.) A "C" number means a Claim File somewhere. Your file is kept in the VA Regional Office or Center having jurisdiction rwer the state or area where you file claim or make your home. That C number is yours for life; note it rlown in your billfold and identify your:;elf by it in all correspondence. Find out w'hich office has your file. It will not be moved except upon your formal request, using a "Cha~ge of Address" form. Use the same form to keep your mailing address current if you are receiving disability compensation or subsistence checks, for Postal Regulations forbid the forwarding of government checks such as these. Remember very little can be accomplished except through the office which has custody 0f your file, so always write to that :uidress. You will have jittle occa~ion to move your file unless you change your address permanently to another state, or desire to take G. I. training in another state. In the latter instance, until you move your filr to the new state you will not !:>e able to receive trainee subsistence allowance. In addition to the C file. if vou had National Service Life In sunince you have another file, identified by an "N" number, kept entirely separate from the "C" file until you die (when the C file becomes an "XC" file and is consolidated with the Insurance file}. You may have several N numbers, depending upon how many NSLI policies you applied for before you secured your maximum coverage of $10,000 government insurance, but the first one-"FN"is your "File" N number. Up until about the middle of 1946 all N files were kept by the VA at 346 Broadway, New York, New York. At that time a policy of decentralization was adopted, and as each man was sep-

arated from the service (not before) his N file was shipped to the VA Branch Office having jurisdiction over his home of record ("permanent home address" to which you received your final travel allowance). (Under the V. A. Central Office in Washington, D. C. the United States is broken down into thirteen V. A. Branch Office Areas, which are in turn over V. A. Regional Officer or Centers located one or more in each state. The Branch Offices have NSLI files, and also all XC files, and normally handle all claims of deceased veterans' families.) For in~ stance, my home of record was South Carolina. My N file was shipped to V. A. Branch Office No. 5, Atlanta 3, Ga., which is over South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. (Ask your nearest Contacl Representative where your N file should be). All premiums and correspondence should be sent to the Branch Office having your N file . If you are an old codger with United States Government Life (the type issued to World War I applicants, and available to service men up until the commencement of NSLI October 8, 1940) your file is not decentralized, but kept by the V. A., Washington 25, D . C. If you have both types within your maximum of $10,000, you are supposed to have a combined !ile, in Washington. National Service Life Insurance Right now NSLI is in the veteranil limelight. Last August Congress passed amendments to the original bill which improved the usefulness of this insurance by making it more flexible. Some of these provisions, which practically wiped out the differences between World War I type (USGLI) and World War II type (NSLI) government life insurance, are as follows: (1) If you desire proceeds of vour policy paid to your beneficiary in one lump sum, you can arrange it by notifying the VA in writing. This is one of four settlement options now available. ( 2) 3

Unlimited choice of beneficiaries, no longer limited to the members of your immediate family. (Be sure to review your designation of beneficiary whenever you change your family situatjon; your word is law to the government on this matter, so make sure it is the latest word.) ( 3) A choice of six permanent plans, including endowments, all at rates with which no commercial company could be exp~cted to compete because the government pays all administrative costs. These are all GOVERN1MENT policies. ( 4) All NSLI plans include Waiver of Premium provis· ion (no Double Indemnity). A new " Disability Income Provision" is now available, and can be added to your present policy if you now make ap· plication, pay a small additional monthly premium, and pass an insurance physical exam. On the first day of the seventh month of total disability commencing after you apply for and secure this provision, the provision starts paying a monthly income at the ':ate of $5 for each $1,000 of protection you carry. These pay· ments in no way affect the face value of protection for your beneficiary, and continue so long as you are totally disabled. ( 5) If you did not get your maximum of $10,000 government insurance while in service, and were in between October 8, 1940 and September 2, 1945 ("Wartime" for insurance purposes) , you are now eligible to apply (subject to physical examination ) for NSLI to make up this maximum figure. Easy Reinst,ztement Provisions It is estimated that more than 75% of the vetenns who had NSLI in service have let it lapse through carelessness, ignorance, or just plain inability to know a bargain when they see one. For the benefit of veterans who have "dropped" their protection, the government has made it especially easy to reinstate the 5 year level-premium term policy wt all had in service. These are the requirements: (1) Secure from yam nearest VA representative, County Service Officer or other service or· ganization an application form (VA Form 9-353a) and complete it. Try to secure your "N" number to identify your <tpplication. (You may find this on the letter-size yellow " Certificate" sent to the home of each application when he originally applied, giving the N number,

amount, and effective date; or on a premium notice, if the VA has commenced to send them to you). If you can't, use all your service serial numbers. ( 2) On this form you are required to be able to state honestly "Yes" to the question "Is your health now f.I.S good as it was at the date of lapse?" (the date due of the first premium you missed when you stopped paying). This is the "Comparative Health Statement" which it is your privilege to use instead of the more complicated procedure of an actual physical exam, up until August 1, 1947. If you can't say "Yes," you may still be able to reinstate it by using a physical examination, provided you are not so disabled as to be eligible for waiver of premiums, and if your disabilities were incurred in or aggravated by service as shown by VA records. ( 3) Send the application, properly completed, with a check or money order made to "Treasurer of U. S.," to Collections Unit, at VA Branch Office which has your N file. A tip: write on the face of your check or money order your N-number (or serial number); it is recorded on microfilm, and helps to identify your remittance. Save your cancelled checks or money order stubs as evidence of payment. You can reinstate all or any portion (Minimnm policy $1,000; maximum the amnunt you had in service; in multiples of $500 in between). The rate on reinstated term policies is the same ?..S that paid in service. You are not required to pay any term premiums in arrears. Your remittance should be equal to at least two monthly premiums on that amount of NSLI you are applying to reinstate (one month covers the "month of grace" during which you had protection after stopping payments, the other is the current month's premium). It is good policy to pay three months premium , and stay one month ahead for safety's sake. Remember, you can keep it at this low term rate for the duration of the original term policy which you are reinstating, but must convert it to one of the six permanent plans to continue protection beyond that time. To repeat: to reinstate your NSLI, here is all you need do: MAKE APPLICATION, COMPLY WITH SIMPLE H E A L T H REQUIRE-

MENTS; MAKE SMALL REMI1 TANCE WITH APPLICATim And DO IT NOW. And if you wa1 professional help, see a VA Conta' man. The next article will be on the su1 ject of compensation for service col nected disability.

TIMMERMAN-South Carolina'~ Youngest Lieutenant Governor () By Joe Wheeler Drennon, Jr., Sigma GEORGE BELL TIMMERMAN, Jr., Sigma is South Carolina's first lieutenant-governor since January 2, 1942 when Governor Olin D. Johnston, also an alumnus of Sigma, submitted his resignation as governor of the state and turned over the duties of his office to nis lieutenant-governor Ransome J. Williams. ' Recent years have seen very little of Brother Timmerman in action along the political-front, but between August 10, 1942 and November 11, 1946 he was active along military fronts. Most of this time was spent in oversea's ~reas where the rank of Lieutenant, U. S. N. R. was attained by Brother Timmerman. Brother Timmerman was li sted among the ~urvivors of the torpedoing of a merchant ship on January 9, 1943. He later saw service as commanding officer of the Rocket Ship, USS LSMR 198, participating in initial landings at Aka Shima, Okinawa, Ie Shima, Ihaya Shima and Aguni Shima. There are several interesting facts about the life of Brother Timmerman. Of particular interest is the fact that George Bell, Jr. opened his law office at the close of the war in the same small frame cottage in which his father, George Bell, Sr., had set up his law office some forty-odd years ago. Then comes the strange fact that Brother Timmerman's father and the father of Governor J. Strom Thurmond, were partners in law for a while. Also to be listed among these oddities is the fact that this white house that shelters Brother Timmerman's law practice is one of the land marks of this area, being one of the oldest houses in this section of South Carolina and being one of the structures to survive the march of Sherman's troops to Columbia. Brother Timmerman was born in Anderson on Augtwt 11, 1912 thus claiming the honor of being the youngest man to serve in the capacity of lieutenant-governor of South Carolina. It has been the rule that

Back to Central Office is to go the editing and publication of TI-IE STAR AND LAMP, for many years in the able and veteran hands of Dick Young, North Carolina. Young has expressed a wish to retire from the editorship, to devote all his spare time to a now-blooming authorship. The Council was of the opinion that the Central Office was the proper place for the publication of the Fraternity. A short visit by the group to Central Office quarters proved that the new Executtve Secretary has made good use of his short time in the office in an organizational way by creating a wall chart of the national organization :>bowing lines of control and responsibility and having ample space to identify personnel ij1 each position; and :~lso by having provided a map of the States which at .a glance, through use of colored thumb-tacks, shows Pi Kappa Phi chapters. The organizational map showed need of personnel ap~ointment in district positions and much work was done later t~ complete this part of tbe picture. It was decided by the Council to appoint district archons for those districts having neither undergraduate or alumni chapters, as one step towards the stimulation of the creation of both in these districts. While in Central Office the National President and National Secretary affixed their signatures to the newly-engrossed charter of the Lansing Alumni Chapter, first of the post-war alumni groups to organize. Each of the war - and depression - dormant undergraduate chapters was discussed in turn with re-activation keenly in the forefront of group thought. Procedures toward revival and restoration of these units were laid down, key alumni were named to be asked to render assistance, and responsibility for immediate action placed upon the Executive Secretary. Review of the prospects for expansion revealed a total of 19 contacts some of casual and unpromising character, others wliich have definite promise of rounding into additional undergraduate units of the Fraternity. 'The university or college in each instance was considered

at length in terms of its educational rating, and general fraternity picture. The Executive Secretary was authorized to proceed with proper action in several favorable cases. The assistance of alumni and undergraduate chapters will be sought to establish these undergraduate chapters. Renewed and increasing alumni interest is to be sought through various steps and methods outlined as a result of a discussion led by National Historian John Deimler, in whose hands as National Historian fall the alumni activity phases of the fraternity. Towards such ends the alumni will be: 1. Given more publicity in the publications of the Fraternity. 2. Urged to take over specific Fraternity projects of benefit to undergraduate chapters in their vicinity. 3. Asked to organize in heavy Pi Kappa Phi centers. 4. Urged to publish local directories. 5. Provided with a manual of instruction similar to those published for undergraduate chapters. National Treasurer Howard D . Leake made full financial and budget reports. As a part of his report be read the summary of the condition of THE STAR AND LAMP Fund, provided for the occasion by Ralph W. Noreen, California, chairman of the Finance Committee. This report of the Committee showed that 66 % of the funds wt:e in government bonds, 19 % in common stocks, and the balance in cash, preferred stocks, and mortgages. The thanks and commendation of the Fraternity were extended to the Committee. Greetings of the two living Founders were sent by the Council. Revision of paper work of the Fraternity was !.ndicated as being well underway by the report of National Chancellor Houser to the effect that the corrected and up-to-date edition of the Constitution and Supreme Laws might be expected from the 7

press soon. National Historian DeimJer presented the newly published revised editi0n of the Ritual of Ini tiation. The only 'locial feature of the twoday series of meetings, but a most delightful one, was the reception given to the members of the Council and their wives on Sunday evening, February 16, by Miss Laura Parker, beloved office manager of the Fraternity.

College Head Dr. J. L. Zwingle, who has been in charge of all USO work in the United States for the past year, bas been named president of Park College, Parkville, Missouri, it was announced February 16 by Joseph F.

Success Story In Thomson, Ga., they will tell you, with great pride, of its young men who stayed at home. And of the lot they will mention the Knox boys, all ~i Kapps: Peter and William, of Eps1lon, and Robert and Lawrence of Lambda. There are two large construction jobs going on in Thomson. One is the factory for producing pre-fabricated houses, and the other is a combined business and office building, a large, two-story affair. The Knox boys are building both. The Government thought enough of their abilitv, already demonstrated by a successful timber and lumber business, to loan the four Thomson boys an even million dollars to do the prefab job. They will turn out substantial bouses which will last as long as any of those, within the same price range, huilt in the conventional manner. When they got out of college, th ey hied themselves right back to Thomson. And th ere they have stayed. They have business branches in three other Georgia cities. ' ')

"A Real Pi Kapp Is Always One, Till He Lays Him Down To Die" Don 't think hecoz you wear the pin an ' hold your bead up high, That you are worthy to be called a true Pi K1ppa Phi ; Don 't think that you've done reached yer goal, when you are once tuk in Yer obligation only starts, when you put on th ' pin .

You 'll see a feller now an ' then that's been out )' school a while, An ' when he sees yer STAR AN' LAMP, he 'll say with a wistful sm ile, " Look here , ol ' chap, give me th ' grip ; When I wuz young like you, Up there a-doin ' evr'thing, I wuz A Pi Kapp, too! "

If you 're not true gold , you won 't hold out, fer such folks never do ; If you wanta bring honor to yer bunch, you gotta be loyal and true . You gotta be mighty careful 'bout how you talk an ' actWhen you hurt yourself, you hurt yer frat ; no gettin' 'round that fact.

Just put it down he ain ' t much force, if he begins that way, A-tellin ' what he used to be, 'stead o' what he is todav. He shoulda learned this long ago: A real Pi Kappa Phi , When once he's one, he's always one till he lays him down to die. ·'

You'll find two different types of boys in every bunch , I guess: Them that do their bit, and them that leave it to th' re~ ' : There ain 't no room in a Pi Kapp fold fer loafers, drones, an ' suchYou · can always help a little bit, if you can 't do ver~r much.

Then remember this, my firm good friend: a true Pi Kappa Phi I s avatar of all that's good, an' noble, an' true, :tn' high. So hitch your wagon to the STAR, an' ste~r by th ' LAMP's bright glow, .'\n' ten to one, you 'll play yer role, as on throngh life you go.

EXECUTIVE SECRETARY "BERNIE" JONES TAKES OVER As I toke over the executive reins of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, it is with humility and a profound respect for the interests and welfare of our fraternity, that I approach the task of directing its affairs under the guidance of the Supreme Chapter and the Notional Council. I om not unmindful of the magnitude of the task nor am I unaware of the havoc that the recent war has wrought in the individual Pi Kopp or in the undergraduate chapters. This havoc will, in many instances, seriously alter our course of action in dealing with the individual o'nd the organization. It is with these facts in mind that I undertake my new responsibilities and I pledge here and now that the best I hove is dedicated to the advancement of Pi Kappa Phi.

Officers for the second term were elected at a meeting held on February 26. Burrell P . Jones, elected archon, is serving his second term. "Jonesy" was also archon in '44. Joe Cabiness, secretary, who is a senior this year, was recently elected to Sigma Alpha Rho, the honorary fraternity at the College. Joe won the Bingham oratorical contest, which was held m the chapel on March 25. Our treasurer this term is Harry Robison, who has been serving all year as an assistant in the Physics laboratory. Chaplain Charles Parker is the number two man on the tennis team. Bill Cronan, warden, was the sparkplug on our basketball team which won the £,lass "B" championship in intramurals. The annual Rose Ball was held on Saturday, March 22. Immediately following the grand march, in a very impressive ceremony, Miss Anne McKeithen, a senior at Charleston and president of Zeta Gamma chapter of Chi Omega, was crowned as the Rose of Pi Kappa Phi. 19

The fo llowing men were initiated en Apr~ l 3: Charles Palmiter, Emile Aiman, McGregor Rugheimer, James Howell, Edward Allston, Harold Mouzon, Hubert Peale, Leslie Wagner, and Jack Shuman. We were pleased to have traveling counselor, Bob Morse, visit us in February. We are deeply grateful to Dr. J. H. Easterby, Alpha '20, our facu'lty adviser, for his assistance during the year. -JACK

New officers for this semester are: Sandy Howie, archon; Marvin Bettis, treasurer ; Joe Scruggs, secretary; Cally Gault, historian; Frank Perry, chaplain; Herbert Lindsey, warden; James Kellett, pledgemaster; and Warren Koon, Pan-Hellenic representative. The ball of the year at Presbyterian College is the Rose Ball traditionally held immediately following the Military Ball. This has been a tradition for many long years but sad to relate "'twern't the Pi Kapps" who put it on. This year, however, a group of enterprising Beta Pi Kappa Phi's managed to steal the show. We did put it on in 1947! And we vow that "from this day forward" it will be the sole property of Beta of Pi Kappa Phi. Long live the Beta Rose Ball! Held, on March 1, it was probably the best dance of the year at Presbyterian . We were pleased to have present several brothers from nearby chapters and their presence added to the occasion and helped to make the event a successfu l one. We added four additiona l pledges to our roll recently. They are: Richard Grant, Howard D. Sloan, Lewis Prather, and John H. Allen. Brothers Herbert Lindsey and Lucius Morgan were on the starting five of Presbyterian's basketball team and Roy Krouse also saw plenty of action. The number one, two, and three men on P .C.'s nationally ranked tennis team will undoubtedly be Pi Kapps Art Prochaska, Bob Spurrier, and Kay Kaiser. Lucius "Rusty" Martin, who has leit school for spring baseball training with the Atlanta Crackers has been doing exceptionally well. According to the papers, he stands a good chance to secure a starting berth with them this summer. Roy Krouse has been named to head a committee to carry out the plans for a houseparty at one of South Carolina's beaches this summer. -CALLY GAULT, historian

Gamma

Although Gamma is suffering considerab!e inconvenience m being unable to obtain a chapter house, it is still a very much alive chapter. Since the reactivation at the beginning of the school year, it has grown from seven members and four pledges to twelve members and seventeen pledges. At our coming initiation we expect to initiate twelve more members. Gamma has a lso been holding its own in the intra-mural sports program and is getting out its first issue of the GAMMAZETTE since its reactivation . Much remains to be done before Gamma is again firmly established but we are very optimistic regarding our future .

Charlotte, N. C., Harold Dillard, Easley , S. C., Fred McBride, Sanford, N. C., Frank Perry, Kannapolis, N. C., Travis Cash, Taylors, S. C., and Jimmy Wright, Cheraw, S. C. We also pledged 10 new men this semester, which gives us a grand total of 32 actives and 23 pledges. In February, we published our first post war issue of the DEL TALITE under the co-editorship of Reese Daniel and Louis Forgoine. The publication wiiJ be distributed monthly during the school year to both alumni and undergraduate members of Delta. On February 25, an alumni-undergraduate banquet was held, . at which plans were formulated for the reorganization of the Greenville alumni chapter. Alumni present included: Quittman Rhodes, Dean Robert N. Daniel, Robert Scal~s, Dr. Harold Miller, Herman Hipp, Francis Hipp, Mac Chr1s· topher, Walter Callaham, and Dr. C. N. Wyatt. Delta has begun a building fund under the direction of 3 newly formed finance committee consisting of Sidney Burts, chairman, Randy Graham, and J . M. King. The fund was begun for the purpose of obtaining a chapter house as soon as feasible. On March 20, a dinner party wa.; held at the Sunnydale club at Landrum, N. C. The affair was a great success and was well attended. Plans are now under way for a number of other such affairs before the end of tile school year. Representing us on the Panhellenic council are: Archon E~ um Hinnant and Sam McKittrick. We would enjoy hearing from any of the alumni and anY news for our publication will be great ly appreciated.

Delta has really forged ahead this year. This semester has brought more changes. Last month formal initiations were held and 14 men were put through.

Since we don't have a house, we haven't too much time to get together, but try to remedy this by having functions pretty regularly. Saturday, April 12, we had a picnic and dance afterwards at Lake Grover. Everyone had a fine time. With "picnic weather" coming up, we're planning on more such socials again soon. The school has purchased several h0uses aro und the cam· pus. It intends to tear them down in about a year to make room for new buildings. Until that time they are consider· ing renting a couple of houses to fraternities who are without quarters. Since we've been without a house longer than anY other fraternity on the campus, we are supposed to have first choice if and when the school releases them. On June 10, the Inter-Fraternity Council is having its final dance at the city auditorium . There are several good possi· bilities in the way of a band, among them Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Spivak, and Vaughn Monroe. This should be a fine affair.

Sigma of Pi Kappa Phi was :~warded the silver cup for presenting the best skit out of ten cumpeting fraternities at STUNT NIGHT, March 13, on behalf of the World Student Service Fund. Focusing itself around an amusing drinking and jitterburg scene, the skit, entitled "A Night at the Blue Moon," was awarded first prize. Capers ran rampant with action occupying every foot of the stage and every minnte of the skit. Brother Millsaps, played the lead as a drunk Carolina student taking a few minutes break at the Blue Moon, supported by pledge Jack Westmoreland. Brothers Drennan and E<::son, and pledge Gregg Hitopoulos, added the feminine frills to the skit. They we re decked in the choice finery of barfly bessies and gathered many laughs from the packed house. The supporting cast included Hubert Carmichael, Allen Sands, Bill Bobo, Joe Henry Williams, Bill Kinlaw, Gerald Smith, Douglas Plowden, Marcus Smith, Burt Orr, Cater Floyd, Fred Henderson, Lou Gantt and Teddy Maass. Ad Jibbing was furnished by all and gave added spice to the skit. Sigma has increased it pledges from 23 to 48, harvesting 25 pledges during the last rush season. The present officers of the pledge class are: Marcus Smith, president; Joe Johnston, vice-president, Bob Hartley, treasurer; and Joe Hughes, secretary. Recently added to active rank s are: William Bobo, Lawrence "Pop" Chapman, William Eason, Hugh Going, Robert Gunter, Robert Hamilton, Harry O'Bannon, and Robert Rich · ard . Chapter voca lists are practicing for the up-and-coming song-fest in which all the U. S. C. fraternities are taking part. Sigma Nu has been the highest noted fraternity for the past two song-fests. Sigma has its eyes on the cup simply because if the Sigma Nus take it again, it becomes a permanent trophy in their chapter room. Sigma opened its intramural · basketball season on the short end of a 25 to 20 score with Kappa Sigma, only to make a good com · back for three straight wins from freshman "Y", Sigma Nu, and Phi Kappa Sigma . The .tournament found Sigma nosed out of the semi-iinals only to be reinstated after Kappa Alpha had been disqualified. The semi-fi nal score cha lked up by Sigma Alpha Epsilon went on the permanent records to show Pi Kappa Phi as third in the standings. Brothers and pledges playing were: Cater Floyd, Bill Kinlaw, Gene Lewis, Gregg Hitopoulos, GrahRm Wolfe, Joe Drennan, Marcus Smith, Douglas Plowden, Dick Singleton, Hubert Carmichael, B . C. Ellis, J ack Westmoreland, also part-timers Jimmy Pike, Bob Moorer, and Jimmy Milligan. Pledge Burt Orr fu rnished the helpfu l coaching advice. Pledges George K .

Tau has achieved its supreme objective. With the beginning of this term the chapter moved into its new home at 407 Horne Street, an address which is destined to become. as fam ous as 17 20 Hillsboro. The house is rather small and only twelve men are Jiving in it. It is in excellent condition as t he former occupants had just had it remodeled throughout, complete with a new coal stoker. One of the most charming features about it is the new wall papering in all the room5. It also possesses a very spacious basement in which we plan to build a recreation room and reopen the famous Blue Room of which all Tau men are familiar. A vacant lot next door on one side of the house will allow us to expand our recreational facilities even more. The bouse is in a very nice section of Raleigh and is only a few blocks from the heart of the campus. We are now busy trying to provide ourselves with furni ture which is developing into a formidable task as our building

Please mail all correspondence to this address also. On March 9, 11 new brothers were brought into the chaPd ter in a very impressiv~ ceremony. They are: Raymon Damron, Millard M.

During mid-winter dances Tau held its 18th annual banquct in the Virginia Dare room of the Sir Walter Hotel. The bal1· room was attractively decorated with flowers and each datd wore the red rose. A mock meeting was held and enjoye immensely by all. Each pledge gave a short speech on soJil~ chosen subject and they were well received. After the banque everyone went to the dance which was being held in tne school gymnasium. We have been honored recently by visits from Bob Mo~~; Traveling Counselor, and Executive Secretary "Berme.

We chink the fraternity, as d whole, will profit by having such men as these close at han to give help when needed. f With the sprouting of the trees and the joyous singing 0 the birds, the fraternities at State arc dusting off their soft; ball gloves and throwing the "old apple" around to ' limbe up stiff arms.

Along the scholastic line, we have two new "honoraries" members in the persons of Van Heely, who made Scull and Crescent, sophomore activities honorary, and Theta Alpha Phi, dramatics honorary, simultaneously. Philip Neff was recently initiated into the Civil Engineering honorary, Chi Epsilon. On the social calendar, trade dances have been coming along quite regularly and successfully. On March ·29, the annual TAP dance was held in the Union. The TAP dance is a three-way dance sponsored by Triangle, Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi. Maury Maim, effectively provided good music for the occasion. We held a formal dinner here at the house for the dance-goers. With nine of our men in the University choir, our song leader, Bob English, has formed a singing group of 20 men to form the nucleus for song sessions in the "University Sing". The group has so far drawn many favorable comments on its pin serenades and a recent broadcast on the local radio station. A few weeks ago we were honored by the presence of four members of Fred Waring's show, which appeared at the Music Hall. They impressed us very favorably and we enjoyed their short visit to the house very much. On March 27, Brother George V. Denny was here with "The Town Meeting of the Air" which he broadcast from the Music Hall. Although a Pi Kapp alumni, he was unable to get to the house because of his very _ full schedule. An idea blooming from a bull session last winter has now materialized in the form of a photograph album for each class here in the house. It is bound in "Senior Cord" and besides an informal photo has a sheet of "statistics" on each page. -DONALD E . SHAW, historian

In January 1947, out of fifteen pledges, six were initiated into Alpha Delta . Our next initiation will be somewhat larger because the warden is cracking down on study hours. We again have fifteen pledges and as long as we keep acquiring new ones, everything is okay. We feel that young high school graduates will make good fratt:rnity material and are going to concentrate on them. MoJt of our new men now are veterans and it won't be long before they will be hard lo get. We are planning to move by the end of spring quarter. The new house is a great deal larger than our present one and will accommodate 38 men. Our social affairs have been very successful; our firesides have been wonderful and Fred Thompson, social chairman, has done a grand job in obtaining dates. Several sororities have commented on our decorations and good music. We have a beautiful selection of records which we purchased out of our "piggy" bank . The house has purchawd cards, napkins,

Illinois Tech

There's a new cup on the Pi Kapp mantle at Illinois Tech . The interfraternity basketball tournament was won by Alpha Phi chapter. The hardwood squad went through the season undefeated. At present, the chapter is practicing for the forth coming softball tourney, and prospects are excellent . Since the start of the semester, Pi Kapps have been holding informal Saturday-night dances in the fraternity house, and supported the Illinois Tech Interfraternity Formal. Plans are being made for a party to be held in the house in conjunction with the Chicago alumni chapter. A senior farewell also IS scheduled for the near future. Alpha Phi has planned a program of activities to coincide with the IIT Junior Week, to be held during the last week of April. Fraternity skits, interfrat sporting events, and an interfraternity turtle race are among the traditions of Junior Week. With the cooperation of the Illinois Tech News Bureau, plans have been made for us to get publicity coverage in the city papers during this quest for a "racing turtle." During the current term, a program to bring up to date the files of the fraternity has been evolved. Alpha Phi was active all through the war, bu't it was impossible to keep our records and alumni file in top order. Questionnaires have been prepared for mailing to the last known addresses of alumni and Archon Bill Pottenger expects these to help fill some of the gaps in the records. - BILL BURKHART, historian

Alpha Xi

Brooklyn Polytechnic

There have been quite a few changes at 33 Sidney Place, Brooklyn. Among the notable alterations are as predicted in the last issue of the STAR AND LAMP the increased number of Brothers and Pledges. Of the former, those initiated in December, are brothers Bill Habehtrecht, John McKiernan, Charlie Murn, John Passalacqua, AI Skogland, and Bill Wright. New Pledges include Jim Beil, Carl Larsen, Rud Miller, George MacDuff, Ed Mulcahy, Maurice Ryan, Joe Peters, and AI Seawald. It is expected that quite a few of these shall become brothers, as another initiation will be held before the summer vacation. There are, by the way, twenty-five brothers at this present date and to be sure Pi Kappa Phi is THE Fraternity on the Campus with a most enviable position and record. An unfortunate change was when the chapter was forced to accept the resignation of Archon Jack Callahan. Brother AI Steele was elected to succeed him. About this time, our secretary Artie Smith'!eft school. This was quite a smack to Alpha X! as Artie was one of the best liked men in the Chapter. Though he has left school, Arthur still attends parties down at the house. His position was filled by Brother John Smiley and "Big John" is quite capable as he held the same last term and did a terrific job at that time. Nor was this the last brother to leave school, for Alpha Xi was really hit hard this past month as Howie Barbour also left school and the chapter will most certainly feel his loss. But some time circumstances over which we have no control, force people to do things that are farthest from their minds and such was the case with both Artie and Howie, and to them Alpha Xi wishes the best of luck and happiness and hoping we shall not lose contact with them. The better changes at Alpha Xi and really good news is that Johnny Stevens, who has done so much in reactivating the chapter has been rewarded for his zealous work by being named District Archon in the New York area. This vacated the post of Chapter Advisor which has been filled by Walter Eisele, a Poly graduate and former Archon of this chapter. His great interest in Pi Kappa Phi assures the chapter of only the betterment of Alpha Xi . It goes without saying that Walter immediately received a unanimous vote of confidence m taking his position. We also wish to express our grati~ude to Brother Berry, past National President, who so graciously donated two beautiful rugs, besides tables and lamps that have really freshened up 33 Sidney Place. It has added that "Homey" atmosphere that is appreciated by all brothers. To "Prof" Berry-Thanks again. Thus is seen the alterations at Alpha Xi-some pleasantsome sad-but always with the chapter ca rrying on in a true Pi Kapp manner.
