JUST a year ago at the Birmingham Convention, you placed the responsibility of the administration of our fraternity in the hands of a new National Council, with orders to restore the fraternity's affairs to pre-war status as soon as possible. Since then, all of the chapters which were closed because of the war have been revived and are now flourishing, with chapter rolls even larger than before. The Central Office is now operating with a full staff, a new Executive Secretary and Traveling Counselor having been at work since the first of this year.

initia

I have just visited with active and alumni members in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New Orleans. Everywhere I went, I found our brothers active and interested in the growth of the fraternity. With such spirit, I am confident that Pi Kappa Phi will continue to prosper. The fate of Pi Kappa Phi is in the hands of our active members. This is their fraternity -and it will grow in direct proportion to the thought and energy they devote to its progress. The alumni, too, have an important part in the success of the fraternity. They can best serve by aiding the actives pledge the best available, and encouraging and counseling with them. The Supreme Chapter will meet again one year from now. If we all do our part, I am certain that it will mark a milestone in our progress toward a greater Pi Kappa Phi.

This amount is $3.53 over the average for the above listings of $S3.97. The services rendered by the national organizations vary. Pi Kappa Phi ranks well in the vanguard of those organizations providing the more numerous types of services and supplies. The fraternity maintains a complete national and regional organi?.ation, including a central office, an executive secretary, a traveling secretary, twenty-odd district officers, and a chapter adviser for each undergraduate unit. A quarterly magazine is published, available for life to the member. Pi Kappa Phi pays the expenses of the delegate of each undergraduate chapter to the biennial conventions of the organization. Many fraternities make convention expense an additional charge to the chapters, over and above the "total costs" as listed above. Convention costs a.re collected in some instances on a pro-rata basis, or in other instances, the undergraduate chapter must furnish the delegate with expense money. Working tools of many kinds are furnished, including rituals, constitution and law booklets, pledge training manuals, organizational manuals and financial and record forms. A scholarship director is maintained and supported with suitable awards and recognitions. Annual awards for high accomplishments in other phases of chapter work are provided. 3

~PeDti~~~con Part Two: Service-Connected Compensation

'I'h, lish 0[

Editor's note-Thrs is the second of a series of articles on veterans' rights. The author, Robert C. Mclees, Beta '36, is a Veterans Administration Contact Representative.

ARE you entitled to pension or compensation? If you are a veteran of the armed forces with a discharge other than dishonorable, and had at least ninety days of active service, you may be, and just don 't know it. Pension is paid for non-serviceconnected total and permanent disability. We hope you are too young and too well to qualify as yet, and will defer that discussion. Compensation is paid for disability incurred in or aggravated by service. Even less than ninety days may qualify if the reason for earlier discharge was a disability incurred in line of duty (which does not mean an old injury or inherent weakness which simply cropped up during the rigors of basic training). The best way to find out is to visit your nearest Veterans Administration Office, taking along your discharge- and to ask for information. Compensation is paid only to veterans suffering from service connected disabilities at least 10 per cent in degree (determined by physical examination, service physical records, medical opinion and a big red book which sets up a schedule ranging from 0 per cent for a tooth filled in service to 100 per cent for a boy who lost both eyes.) A service-connected disability is one actually incurred while on active duty, or a pre-existing disability definitely proven to have been aggravated by service incidents beyond the normal progress of the disability. This means that such ailments as bronchitis contracted in service, or an ankle badly sprained by a fall in a fox hole, are equally service-connected with combat juries. For certain chronic disabili 4

ties, such as tuberculosis or arthritis, medical evidence that a veteran was suffering from them to a degree of 10 per cent disability as long as one year after discharge may net "presumptive" service-connection with all attendant benefits. For instance, the government recognizes that a man serving in the Pacific Theatre with daily dosages of atabrine might not suffer anyth ing more serious than a complexion like a Jap - and then come down with a rousing bout of malaria as soon as he leaves off the atabrine. When this occurs after discharge, a doctor's diagnosis of malaria in writing may be all that is necessary to establish service connection. Doc's statement should establish the date of the attack within one year following discharge, however. Sometimes the affidavit of a druggist that he furnished quinine for self-treatment may be substituted. (See your V. A. Contact Representative!) Even if you scorn a hand-out (which it isn 't) , you should take steps to establish service-connection on any disability that might conceivably trouble you in the future. Aside from compensation, which follows automatically if the disability is 10 per cent or more, here are several important reasons: (a) Out-Patient medical treatment at government expense may be furnished for service-connected disabilities. This includes necessary drugs; orthopedic and prosthetic aids (a toupee if your hair was a service casualty) ; fillings for your teeth. Your own doctor may possibly be authorized to render treatment in your own home town. This is not to be confused with hospitalization in a VA hospital, for which most wartime vets are eligible anyway. (b) If you are a World War II vet, if you die of non-service-connected reasons, your widow is ineligible for death pension under present w unless you have established servf'P-f'l'lrlnection (even 0 per cent) on

The Wautauga Avenue Presbyterian Church of Johnson City has cause to remember him as the chairman of the committee to eliminate the church debt, for it was wiped out. He is a member of the Board of Deacons of the church and bas served as chairman of the board . H e is a member of th e American Legion , Shrine, Georgia Tech Alumni Association, and Scabbard and Blade. A charming family is composed of Mrs. Rice, a daughter Marth a Devereux, and son Charles Bailey, who is a veteran of War II and now enrolled in Georgia Tech . President Rice served in War I as a second lieutenant. Two biographical publications which recognize America's outstanding men list Devereux D. Rice. They are "Who 's Who in America" and "America's Young Men." This is your national president. Pride of the individual 's accomplishments is mixed with pride which comes from the knowledge that his ability is at the can of the fraternity.

We, here in C . 0 ., are the first to admit,~ ~h~ ever, that the amount of work we can accomplish personally is negJigt~n An organization which is as far flung as is Pi Kappa Phi must neceSSS pi have good official representation . throughout the nation. This was re!'th 1 nized many years ago when the District offices were created. These distr ar offices are the major keynote in our plans for a bigger and better Pi J(af)n Phi. All down the line, the district archons have heard the clarion r,t l of the last Supreme Chapter. They have risen up in unison and said ''~t~ and where can we help?

We found that the war torn years bad wrought a lack of standardi~ / operating methods. We found that the old reliable, precedent, had ~el; badly strained and as a result, many organizations had distorted ideas of core 1 rect operating procedures. These deficiencies needed immediate attert tin: and to correct them personally was an insurmountable task. We set a11 ne reorienting the old district a~chons and orienting the new ones.

ACCORDING to the Constitution and Supreme Laws of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity: "The National Secretary shall be the custodian of the Great Seal of the Fraternity and shall perform such other duties as may devolve upon his office. H e shall submit to the Supreme Chapter a full written report of the official acts of the N atirmal Council." There are, however, more liberal interpretations of this and, further, there are many hidden definitions in our constitutional assignment. Let's look at another definition: Roget's I-nternational Thesaurus, 1943 edition, states a secretary is a " desk, recorder, writer, director, auxiliary, servant, consignee." Any one of these could be applicable in varying senses. The first we can eliminate unless we look upon the national secretary as something to park your feet on or sit on. The others have varying applications to the position in question, but the penultimate is most applicable. The multitudinous things the incumbent secretary must do definitely qualifies him as a " rememberancer," more than any one other thing. Enough of this. Suffice it to say that perhaps the national secretary is a brother tried and true who "had his

mouth open when it should have been closed." The incumbent officer has been in the job a little less than a year and has learned more of his pledge lessons in this period than he ever did as a pledge. Why? A resolution comes through appointing a District Archon for a certain area and it behooves the secretary to officially notify all active and alumni chapters in the area. Had be learned his pledge lessons it would be a simple task to recap all these chapters. Prior to any official notification , however, the votes of all council members must be record ed and determined if the matter being voted upon requires a majority or the unanimous approval. So on and on we go day after day. If one's " rememberancer" is not functioninc:r and he has a loose file system (which incidentally has been in the process of change for months, but never gets done) the votes get fouled up and notification goes awry. Like any other honorary office, the work incident to the position impinges on the normal workday when one should be earning an honest dollar.

well. Upsilon deserves a lot of _credit for the fine job it is doing wtthout a house on a campus with 52 other fraternities.

I heartily endorse their committee form of government and suggest that any chapter pla~ ning this type of setup have . their committee chairmen make their reports in a written form so that future committees can refer back ~o them to save having to learn by their own errors.

Tau now h~s a home and Mu starts off the. fall m a larger section of the fraternity quadrangle, House R. District II's ~wo chapters are really up and commg. Xi is planning a new house and Rho has made an outstanding job of reactivation (only three Pi Kaps returned toW. & L. last fall). Of the three District V chaptersJ Lambda is the only one with a ho~se although Eta and Iota are now gomg all out to get theirs. Our gang at Emory have certainly come a long way since their rebirth last fall. Eta is No. 1 on campus academically _too. Florida's two chapters are top fhght groups. Two houses with spirit as their forte. District Archon Roberts, of Alabama, might well be proud of his organizations. They are good and still coming up. My visits in New York and Pennsylvania showed me four excellent

chapters. Alpha Xi surprised me by having a house despite the fact that all of their membership Jive at home. Alpha Upsilon is justly proud of their new home and Penn State's Alpha Mu are social bugs of the first water-they kept me up 'til 4:00 a. m. and then woke me at 7 o'clock to witness an initiation. The gang at Renssalaer are guilty of being the most resourceful of any chapter I've visited-they're even doing some of their own plumbing improvements. All in all , the fraternity is in good sound shape. Our chapters have come a long way since the war but I don't want to leave the impression that things are too rosy. No chapter is beyond improvement. Certainly none of us want to sit back with the complacent attitude that we lack nothing. Rather we should feel that tomorrow challenges us to plan growth, both physical and mental.

Pacific Coast Conclave On November 27th, 1908, a petition from a group of students at the University of California was received and approved. That was the birth of our third chapter and our first west coast chapter. Springing from that small group in 1908, the west coast is now truly a Pi Kap hotbed. Pi Kappa Phi held its first postwar conclave on the Pacific Coast at Alpha Zeta on May 4, 194 7. The conclave followed the annual Spring Formal which was a gala affair. The conclave had representatives from Alpha Delta at the University of Washington and interested members from the University of Oregon Pi Kappa Phi Club. An open forum with the heads of the various committees at Alpha Zeta was held. The Alpha Delta representatives gave an account of the conditions and activities of their house. J. AI Head, National Secretary, gave a short talk on the importance of the house manager and answered all questions that anyone had to ask on the house or its way of functioning. The meeting left us in excellent spirits and realizing what a truth it is that "Pi Kappa Phi is a way of life." 11

PAUL HUPP

WAYNE R. MOORE

In April of this year, the Upsilon House Corporation lost a very actively interested officer when Brother Paul Hupp decided to move to a better climate and "get some fun out of life." But Paul is not leaving his active interest in Pi Kappa Phi behind him in his move to Denver. On May 28, National President Devereux D. Rice officially appointed him district archon for District XVIII, which embraces the states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. On June 20th last, Paul Hupp was thirty years old and had spent the last twenty years of his life in or around Chicago. He attended grammar, high school and Jr. College in LaGrange, Illinois. He enrolled at the University of Illinois in 1936 where he lived in the Pi Kapp house until he was granted his B. A. in 1938. He entered Northwestern University Law School in '39, graduated there in '41, and joined the law firm of Sidley, Austin, Burgess and Harper in Chicago. Brother Hupp spent about nine months of twenty-three months service in the Sea Bees at Pearl Harbor. After his discharge in July '45, be returned to his law practice in Chicago. He plans to teach law at the University of Denver this fall.

In tackling the job of District Archon in District XIV, which embraces the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri, Wayne R. Moore is merely exhibiting, on a national scale, interest in the fraternity which he developed locally as an undergraduate at Iowa State College. There he served as social chairman, secretary, and archon of Alpha 0~颅 cron chapter. Brother Moore was born in Buffalo Center, Iowa, February 5, 1919. He distinguished himself in college as a secretary of Tau Beta Pi and as a Guard of St. Patrick. He was a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Pi Mu Epsilon, and Scabbard and Blade. His other activities included Cadet Officers' Association, Interfraternity Council, and Military Circus. He was also on the staffs of The Iowa State Daily Student and The Iowa State Engineer. Immediately upon receiving his degree at Iowa State, Brother Moore entered active duty with the U. S. Anti-Aircraft Artillery, and left for overseas February, 1943. He spent nearly a year in Africa and saw service in about ten countries on that continent before leaving for China, India and Burma, where be spent about eighteen months. Returning by boat he made stop-overs in Ceylon

and Australia. His tour of actil'1 duty ended March, 1946. At present Brother Moore is se~~: ing as administrative bead and ~~ structor in engineering problems ,r the Department of General Engineer; ing at Iowa State. He is adept 8. playing the piano and violin and lik~ a good game of golf. Among his oth~~ interests and as a side line to h' electrical engineering, he enjoys ra; dio construction.

At almost any of its function s you will find "Prof." Bibb on hand. Samuel F. Bibb was born June 2, 1891 , in Ripley, Tenn. He attended West Tennessee State Normal in Memphis and the University of Chicago. In 192 S he began his teaching career in mathematics at the then Armour Institute, now Illinois Tech. He has also taught at the Michigan College of Mines and the University of North Dakota. Among recognitions accorded him is his membership in Sigma Xi, one of the original members in the association of college honor societies. He served in World War I as a second lieutenant in infantry. In his own words, his idea of recreation is "eighteen holes of golf, a good dinner, and bridge until midnight.

Brother Stanley S. Radford's task as new chapter adviser for Alpha Theta is made no easier by the chapter 's drive for funds with which to purchase a house. It's no simple job "seeing them through" but, in Stanley Radford, they have a man at th eir side who has a vital interest in the future of the chapter. Brother Radford is an alumnus of the old Orphic Literary Society of Michigan State College which became Alpha Theta of Pi Kappa Phi on May 9, 1925 , and is a charter member of the chapter. He returned to East Lansing to be initiated at the time Alpha Theta was installed. He has served one year as president of the Lansing Alumni association and, at present, is treasurer of the new Lansing-East Lansing alumni chapter. Brother Radford is a native of Climax. Mich. He graduated with his B. S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1922 from Michigan State College. He taught Mechanical Drawing and Machine Shop at Saginaw's Ea~>tern H igh School for seven years, aPd later taught Trade Drafting at the Arthur Hill Trade School of Saginaw for the same length of time. J n 1934. upon receiving his M. A. in Vocation'l.l Education from the University of Michigan, he accepted an assistant professorship in Engineering Drawing at M. S. C. Alpha Theta's new chapter adviser is 48 years old, married and has two daughters. He and his family reside at 33 7 Division St., Ea3t Lansing.

T. J. STARKER Brother T. J. Starker is probably the only man in Pi Kappa Phi to serve as chapter adviser for two undergraduate chapters. He started his professorship in forestry at Oregon State College in '2 2 and taught there until 1942. He spent one year (193031), on sabbatical leave teaching at Penn State and acting as adviser to Alpha Mu. To give you some idea of what Alpha Zeta thinks of their chapter adviser, they have purchased a scholarship cup, named it the "T. J.

Starker Trophy," and it is presented each year to the outstanding sophomore brother. "T. ]. ," as he is affectionately known to his und ergraduate chapter was born in Kansas July 15, 1890: He studied forestry at Oregon State College, and at the University of Michigan and Wisconsin . He served with the United States Forestry Service, 1909-18, and was traveling secretary and manager of the Box Dept., of the Western Pine Mfgrs. Assn., 1918-22. Professor Starker is chairman of the Corvallis Park Commission and is an ex-chairman of the School Board Planning Commission. He is a member of Xi Sigma Pi (forestry honorary) and the Lions. He has contributed articles to American Forestry and Journal of the Society of American Forestry. You can find him listed in Oregon 's Who's Who and Who's Who in American Education. "Prof.'' was married June 30, 1914 and has two children, Bruce and Jean. Bruce is an alumnus of Alpha Zeta and is now associated with his father in the forestry and timber business. Jean is Home Demonstration Agent for Clatsop County, Oregon. Pi Kappa Phi has another representative in the United States Diplomatic Service. Brother Glenn 0. Perry, Alpha Eta, who is a Vice Consul has been recently named Disbursing Officer and Attache of the American Embassy in the Republic of Panama. Brother Perry entered the Diplomatic Service in 1944 and has since served in San Jose, Costa Rica and later as Assistant Disbursing Agent of the American Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico. Initiated by Alpha Eta chapter in 1936, Brother Perry served as treasurer in 1937-38. He th~n transferred to Omicron and obtained his B.S. degree in Business Administration from the University of Alabama in 1939. Later he did graduate work toward the M.S. degree in Accounting. Prior to the Diplomatic Service Brother Perry was selected by the Social Security Board in Washington, D. C. as an Audit Reviewer and placed in charge of reviews of the Southern States. 15

"RODDY" RODRIGUEZ, Iota Tampico, Mexico After having known Brother Rodriguez by reputation only for several years, it was the editor's pleasure to meet and know him at the meeting of the twenty-first Supreme Chapter in Birmingham, Alabama in 1946. His eloquent oration to us at that time recalled to mind the following article which Brother Rodriguez wrote for the STAR AND LAMP in 1926. What he said then is no less true today. - EDITOR It might be the general run of life, it might be that destiny has engraved it in its annals of time to be so, or it might be a mere carelessness noticed before, but not pointed out- that truly there is a missing link between the undergraduate and his brethren that have gone by before him. The alumni once through college, pass unto the business world, dive into the mad rush for making of fame and wealth , and forg('t that trodding behind come those young men who belong to the sa me family that they do, who could really derive the benefits of their counsel, their financial aid, or at least the orienting in getting I!OOd prospective members. Generally the alumni feel as if they have gone through hard toil in fraternity life, contributed their little grain of sand , and once out, should go into recess for a while, or at least until solicited by their chapters. We are prone to think ourselves too important, we feel as if the world were at our feetuntil life in the unfolding of its treasures of truth and experience, brings us to realize that all of us are brothers, that we should continue to help those that are now toiling in that same place where once in our life we felt that we needed a helping hand ; for surely each and every one of us feel s that sensation of satisfaction at least, when we realize that the growth of our fraternity and its progress is ..:lue to the new acquisition of younger and more active blood than ours. Who does not feel a certain satisfaction when he thinks, that when he belonged to the active ranks there were so many chapters and now, the essence and purity of the purpose has triumphed and there are so many more chapters than then?

To all alumni-"Help your own fraternity , help in the getting of new 16

members, for in the days to come, those that are now pledged will bold in the world a similar position to yours. They will probably follow your example- can you truthfully say unto yourself that you have done everything that you can for your fraternity? Do you think that vou have lived a life worth setting as an example? You came to pave the way - how well did you do it? " To all undergraduates-"In the innermost part of yourself, there is an instinctive desire to return to humanity the blessings you have received from preceding generations. Not long from today, you will have passed from the files of the active members, and can you say that you did everything in your power to better your chapter and your fraternity, so that those that come behind you will bless you for your works? Give, give all that you have, for the love that there is in giving, for that which you will receive in satisfaction and spiritual blessings, will over-pay manifold what you gave."

Fraternity members have come and gone, but there is one landmark that has been symbolic of the Alpha Iota Chapter, and that mark is House Man Johnny Summers. Johnny was born in Lee County, Alabama in 1913, and came to work for the chapter in November of 1934. At that time the house was an old white frame building on East Glenn Street. He stayed with the fraternity through 路 four changes of houses and was still serving faithfully when he left to join the Army during 1942. While serving in the Army, John-

Following the elections held recently in Troy, Nick Ru· sanowsky took over as our new Archon. Others taking office were Jim Wick, treasurer; Jack Lott, secretary; Bob Kelly, historian; and Bob Leuders, chaplain. During the spring term, the brothers completed a thor~ugh face -lifting job on our chapter house. Many heretofore hidden talents were brought to light as we painted, hung new wall· paper, and renovated the plumbing system. If anyone doubted the improvements were worth the effort, the praise of visiting alumni certainly convinced them. Among the old grads return· ing for spring social events were Larry Albre, Walt Marter, Van Schen, and Jerry Cook. Jerry Cook was accompanied bY Mrs. Cook and his two-year-old son. Our social committee, headed by Dick Donahue, has been doing an A-1 job. We've had house dances, picnics, and formal events at some of the nearby resorts. Each event seemed to outdo the preceding one and not a weekend passed without an event of some kind to take our minds off the con· stant demands of school work. Nick Rusanowsky, our new archon, was honored recentlY by being elected secretary of Pi Tau Sigma, honorary Meehan· ical Engineering Fraternity. Bob Morse, Pi Kappa Phi's traveling counselor, spent three days with us recently and we went all out to show him we really have an active bunch- of boys here. At present we're looking forward to a visit from John Stevens, our district archon. Prof. Grant K.

Brother and Mrs. Josh Billings were down from Pittsboro to attend Finals and act as Tau's chaperones. They upheld their reputation for being the life of the party. Tau is certainly indebted to Brother Josh and its other a lumni who have "come through" when help was so sorely needed. We are delighted to see that our other chapters are doing so well in intramural athletics. At the same time we are slightly envious, sin ce Tau was practically last in every spo rt at N. C. State. We'll bet however, that no chapter has had quite as big a time in intramurals. Win or lose we always try to show the spirit so typical of Pi Kappa Phi. Horseshoes seem to be the center of interest now with all the fellows trying, in vain, to conquer th e team of Blow and Wallace.

Alumni Charlotte, North Carolina, Alumni Chapter A reorga nizational meeting of th e Charlotte Alumni Chapter originally chartered in 1939, was held at Thacker's Restaurant on July 16. Reginald Price presided over the gathering of twenty brothers and "Bernie" Jones made the keynote address. Having told th e group of Central Office reorganization, Executive Secretary Jones furth er discussed expansion progress and a definite plan for the Charlotte Chapter's participation in the overall program. The brothers assembled manifested considerab le enthu siasm over reorgani zation according to a definite plan. Discussion disclosed that this group favored the development of a constructive project and scheduling of regul ar meeting dates, the frequency probably not t? ex~eed four meetings annually, but to be arranged at the d1scretJon of a small governing body. Suggested projects listed for further consideration by thi s governing body were: A scholarship plan to aid worthy men attending schools where Pi Kappa Phi is represented; an annual conclave for both graduates and undergraduates of this general area; a program of fellowsllip a m o n ~ alumni of thi s area; a program designed to furni sh names to undergraduate chapters as rushing prospects.

New officers elected for the fall semester are: archon, Bob Ferreira; treasurer, Carlton Bliss; secretary, Bob Holmes; historian, George Johnson; chaplain, John Palmer; warden, John Miller; housemanager, Louis Ptacek; steward, Buddy Hall. Coming down the homestretch of the spring semester, Alpha Epsilon held its two most important events of the year, Spring Frolics and Mothers' Day. May 2-3, ushered in Spring Frolics with Harry James playing in the gymnasium at the I. F. C. sponsored dance. Our chapter functioned at this affair Friday night and on Saturday evening gave a dance of its own, with a band from Jacksonville Beach furnishing music. The theme was a "Shipwreck Dance" with a prize going to the most approP.riately dressed couple. As usual, nearly everyone on the campus dropped in and a good time was had by all. Mothers' Day, the following week-end, was attended by one hundred guests. Before the program, dinner was served in the dining room. The principal speaker was Brother Sidney Herlong, County Judge of Lake County. A trio consisting of John Palmer, Ted Camp, and Darrell Carnell sang several numbers. Official welcome was extended the visitors by archon, Bob Ferreira and Mrs. A. L. Combs responded for the mothers. Brother Ed Manning was in charge of the program and Harold Combs acted as Master of Ceremonies. Every mother was given a favor by her son and the ceremony ended with the singing of the Pi Kappa Phi "Sweetheart Song." A new addition to our chapter room is a sparkling, brand new watercooler given us by the Miami Mothers Auxiliary. Entire ly on thei r own initiative our Miami Mothers raised the money necessary through much hard work. Now our members and pledges don't have to head for the nearest soda fountain when they are thirsty. The go-ahead signal for putting a new roof on the chapter house has been given and the contractor wi ll start work sometime during the summer. New men pledged during the latter part of the semester were: Earle Boyce of Miami; Billy Mills of Orlando; Arnold Dinkins of Yankeetown; George Estis of Sarasota; Jim Straugham of Miami; and Duncan ] ohnson of Pensacola. The following brothers were elected to membership in honorary and scholastic fraternities on campus: Bob Ferreira, Beta Gamma Sigma; Bob Wheeler, Alpha Kappa Psi prexy; Jack Carpenter, Sigma Tau secretary; Bill Harrell, Blue Key and president of the Freshman Law School; and Ted Camp, member of the Honor Court. Both of our candidates were successful in student body electio ns. Eddie Graeme captured one of the coveted posts on the Lyceum Council, and one of the Executive Council seats went t.o Walter McCall. Others hold ing officers in various organizations are: Ted Camp, interfraternity council representative; Jack Raudenbush, junior I. F. C. representative; and Darrell Carnell, assistant band manager. During May various organizations awarded letters to their deserving men. Carl Pease received a cheerleaders' letter wh ile Band letters were received by Darrell Carnell and George Johnson. With a chapter of some 83 members and pledges, and many alumni scattered hither and yon, we felt it necessary that they be drawn closer together through some practical medium. Thus, was born our chapter newspaper, under the supervision of Historian George Johnson, atSistant editor, John Palmer, and circulation manager, Harold Com bs. Our first issue went out on May 20. j.ny a lumnus failing to receive his copy is urged to make it known to us that our mailing list may be brought up to date. When any of you make changes of address be sure and let us know. Thanks, fellows. Homecoming this year is Oct. 25th, with the Fighting Gators playing host to North Carolin a.

Officers for the winter and spring quarters were: Douglas Teal, archon; Sam Heidersbach, treasurer; Jack Inman, secre-

Since the last issue of STAR AND LAMP, we initiated the following 17 men into active membership: Julian Bennett, Chris Carrott, Robert Clark (in facultate), James Conrad, Joe Corson, Robert Denham, Byron Gay, Addiion Gilbert, Howard Gordie, George Hope, Jerry Ivey, Emmet Low, Clyde McCully, George Patterson , Aaron Swain, Milton Walters, and Richard Woodall. Chi pledged the fo llowing 8 men during this period: James Anderson, Ben Carson, Robert Guard, Kenneth Kraigsman, William Mi11er, Dick Rose, AI Schneider, and Dirk VanGilder. Since we repainted, redecorated, and repaired the interior of our house Chi feels and looks much better. This we accomplished just prior to our annual Parade of Orchids and it brought forth favorable comment from our visiting alumni. This year's Parade of Orchids was the biggest and best in Chi's history. The dance was preceded by a banquet, at which Brother Ernest "Pops" Machen announced as his successor to the office of district archon, Brother Jamie Albritton, alumni secretary of Stetson University. The dance was highlighted by some 80 Pi Kapps and their dates who "led out" through a replica of the fraternity's badge. Other major social events for the winter and spring quarters have been weekly openhouses for Pi Kapps and their dates, and a shrimp boil at Juniper Springs. Chi boasts the election of Brother "Bud" Dickinson as president of the Student Body for the next school year. We had the privilege of sending an initiation team who initiated 11 undergrads at the University of Miami, May lOth, as associate members of our chapter. On May 26th a banquet was held honoring intramural managers, at which time cups and trophies were presented the winners in various sports and activities fo r the past school year. We came away with cups and trophies for tennis, interfraternity sing, basketball, and football. And, most important of all, we again won the intramural championship trophy, after having retired the former championship cup last year. Our thanks go to Brothers Deen and Gunn for their efforts as our intramural managers this school year. -H. T. GowER, historian

Lloyd McClenny pitched the winning game, as well as four others which were played on consecutive days. This is quite an honor to hold on the campus, and each brother under Omicron roof is proud of the new trophy on our shelf. We plan to continue participating in intramural sports this su mmer, even though several of our brilliant sportsmen will not be on hand to help out. Joe Ed Kirkland, freshman from Newvi11e, Alabama, led Alabama to its eighth Southeastern Conference baseball title. His brilliant pitching record has been highly praised. Many socials have been given during the past few months and several have been planned for the quarter which has just begun. A house dance, a Mock Night Club Party, several picnics, a buffet supper, and a smoker highlighted the events of the term which recently ended. We had open house several weekends during the past quarter, and many inactive brothers and alumni dropped in for informal get-togethers. Miss Martha Waller, Kappa Delta, from Greensboro, Alabama, was recently named "Star of Pi Kappa Phi." The official fraternity sponsor was chosen by members of the chapter from a group of fifteen coed finalists. Miss Waller was presented with a loving cup and an arm bouquet of roses. Williard Yo ung and Hal Self were pledged to ODK honorary fraternity, and Frank Hawthorne became treasurer of this organization. John Bray and Willard Young are now mem-

From a highly competitive field we advanced to finals in "Carnicus," an annual U. T. event, with an original skit entitled, "The Nutty Newsreel." We wound up our highly successful sorority parties this season with entertainment for Chi 0, Tri Dell, and Delta Gam pledges and officers. Next came our annual ghost party with coffins, cadavers, spirits, tombstones, snakes, mice, bats, seances, and blood curdling ghost stories. Our most recent bit of social activity was a hay ride to Big Ridge Park for swimming and boating. Our new housemother is Mrs. W. B. Neal, of Atlanta, Georgia, whose daughter, Patsy Neal (See LIFE, Feb. 3, et al),

is currently sta rring on Broad way. Mother Neal impresses us a ll as T OPS! We wound up our ca lendar of events by laying th orough plans for closer alumni relati onship, honored by th e presence of nati onal president, Devereux D.

Brother Blair, fraternity archi tect , passed around his drawings of the proposed building. It will accommodate 30 men, a housemoth er, and a coo k very co mfortably, and is estim ated to cost around $70,000.

The following officers were elected for th e summer and fall terms: Bill O'Donnell, archon ; J ohn Roeser, treasurer; W<!IIY Stiles, secretary; George Shoe make r, historian ; Dick Coleman , chaplain ; and Ross Vogelgesang, wa rden. Since the last issue of STAR AND LAMP we have held two initiations. The first one was held at Purdue on M arch 3rd , when Wally Stiles and Geo rge Shoe maker were ini tiated by our Omega brot hers. At th e seco nd initiation, held at Illinois Tech. June 1st, Jim Vertin , Ea rl Parge, Bill Frey, Kreel Kass-

We are greatly indebted to our broth ers from Omega and Alpha Phi fo r lending a hand to aid Upsilon in getting on its feet once again . Five new men to wear th e go ld and whi te pledge pin arc: Ne l Fo rrester, Ha l Klotz, Lou M atusiak, Ralph Matusiak, and Tom Burgess. Cadet Lieut. Col. Paul B. Phinney, retiring regimenta l com 路 mand er of the University of Illinois R. 0 . T . C. brigade, was hon ored at th e annual Federal Inspection when he received three awards, a saber from the Auxiliary To Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; a citation and fifty dollar award from th e American Legion ; and a watch from the Veterans of Fo reign Wars. Paul has previously received two other awa rds fo r military excellence. Upsilon is quite proud to report of its scholasti c prowess. Last semester the actives came in fourth among 53 fraternities on campus, but when our pledges came in first, we were given second place as a result of th e combined averages. We hope to be able to keep up this fine record and shall aim to capture the scholastic achievement cup in future. We are proud to report that Kreel Kasserman was initiated into Alpha K appa Psi, Honorary Commerce Professional Fraternity, and Wally Stiles was initiated into Chi Gamma I ota, new ly organi zed honorary for ex- G. I.'s. We are losing, through graduation this summer, Bob Morris, who receives a degree in mining engineering; Gil Thrane, a degree in liberal arts and sciences; Ted Eble, his degree in architecture; and John Poppelrieter, a ph ysical educati on degree. " Poppy" plans to stay over for his M. A. Pi Kappa Phi is well represented in the different activities on campus. We cooperated with Sigma Kappa sororitY in furni shing a stunt for the Red Cross carnival held in the University Armory. The stunt was very popular and was agreed by many to be one of th e best. Prior to the Interfraternity Ball, at whi ch Pi Kapps enj oyed themselves dancing to the music of Charlie Spivak, we held a banquet at the Y. M . C. A. Our other activities included a picnic, trips to Omega and Alpha Phi, and numerous get-togeth ers on weekends. We are anticipating a tri-chapter conclave with our Alph a Phi and Omega brothers at the Illinois- Purdue footb all game held in Lafayette on October 25. The housing situation is still th e greatest problem confronting us but we are stri ving to move forwa rd regardless. ThiS was th e subj ect of a discussion held with Bernie Jones, executi ve secretary, and th e Champaign alumni on May 26. Another meeting was held at the Bismark H otel in Chicago, M ay 29, with Devereux Ri ce, National President, Bernie J ones, and the H ouse Corporation.

DISTRICT XIX Undergraduate Oregon State Alpha Zeta Alpha Zeta has enjoyed one of its busiest and most successfu l terms this spring. There have been many socia l events as well as the more serio us business of stud yi ng. The spring formal dance was held May 3, and was pronounced a big success. It was built aro und a theme of "Fiesta." Cacti, gourd stri ngs, flo wer-draped archways, and ropes of flowers with se rapes and balloons provided an authentic background. Refreshments, cream puffs, were served as tamales and punch was dispensed from a 200-po und cake of ice. Individual tab les grouped around a multi -colored fountain and a wishi ng we11 in the front lawn served as the "Cantina." Guests for th~ for!flal dance i?cluded delegates from Alpha Delta at the Umvcrs1ty of Washmgton and the Pi Kappa Phi Club at University of Oregon. They were in Co rvallis for the conclave whi ch began Sunday morning following. The conclave was a successful meeting as far as we are concerned for it served to draw closer together the brothers from the north and the south. · Ea rly in the term we co nducted an initiation for eight new members: Clyde Christman, Rodney Dallas, Robert Ellison Kenneth Hosler, John Jackson, Richard Luse, Robert Martin' and Fred Thoman. Elections at abo ut the sa me time produced the following officers for the comi n ~ year: Melvin Knorr, archon ; Fred Thompson, treasurer ; Richard Luse, assistant treasurer; Jack Steward. secretary; Geor~e Jaska historian· Jackson Schenck, chaplain ; and Charles Markman: warden.

P,HJ

Among other social functions carried on by our chapter, we have had exchange dinners; a dessert honoring Alpha Phi, a new sorority begun at 0. S. C.; a fire side; Interfraternity Sing where we placed fifth in the competition; Mothers' Weekend when we entertained twenty mothers; Junior Weekend when we were hosts to over twenty high school seniors; and other campus activities. On the serious side, our pledge class placed first on the campus in grade point averages for winter term. We have been conducting a concentrated rushing program. We are graduating four men in this term's commencement and have six more who are marrying during the summer, so there has been a two-fold reason for our rushing program. Alpha Zeta is very much indebted to their alumni and to one man in particular, T . J . Starker of Corvallis. To show our appreciation of his unfailing service and sagacious advice, the membership has established the Starker Award, a trophy which is to be awarded every year to the outstanding sophomore member. The member's name is engraved on the trophy which is kept in the den at the chapter house. The first name on the award is that of Everett F . Thompson, sophomore in the pre-medical school. The award is based on house activities, campus activities, scholarship, and character. Thompson received the trophy from "Prof." Starker at a dinner in honor of the graduating seniors. Selection for the award will be made every spring term by a vote of the membership. At a dinner in honor of the eight new members of Alpha Zeta, the active members awarded a plaque to J. AI Head in recognition of his outstanding work in editing th~ Alpha Zeta "Service Stars," a publication designed to keep the actives and alumni in contact with each other while they were in the service. AI did all the work himself and kept the "Service Stars" in existence all during the war. The plaque will be hung in the den of the chapter house as a reminder to all the esteem and appreciation Alpha Zeta feels for this alum. Alph a Zeta is windin~ up a very successful year with a sum. mer rushing program that covers the whole state. -GEORGE J ASKA, historian

Alpha Delta

Spring quarter elections resulted in a complete administrative shak~p in Alpha Delta Chapter. Our new officers headed by Archon Fred Thompson include Joe J chanson, secretary; Bob Willis, treasurer; Dave Alexander, historian; Bob Coffey, chaplain; and John Illias, warden. Appointments made by the new Archon have Secretary Joe Johanson and Chaplain Bob Coffey doubling as social chairman and scholarship chairman respectively. The duties of Pledge Warden have been taken over by our chapter advisor, Alex Adair. Our spring quarter social events were concl uded with our annual spring semi-formal held on May 24th. The dance, under the direction of Social Chairman Joe Johanson, proved to be the event of the year and was hailed by the Alums as one qf the best ever put on by Alpha Delta Chapter. 0 11')-ifune 1st, we welcomed three new brothers into the fraternity. The new members are William Lee Hamilton, Yakima, Washington; Walter Plagens, Enumclaw, Washington; and William J. Maddow, Kettle Falls, Washington. Although Alpha Delta Chapter will be absent from the University of Washington campus during the summer, we wi ll be back in the fall bigger and stro np;er than we have been since we reactivated last fall. We have completed arrangements for a larger and better chapter house which will be our new home as of October first. The new house. a true fraternity house, is a great improvement over the inadequate facili ties of the converted residence where we have been for the past year. It is just across the street from the north end of the campus on the corner of 16th and 45th. The address is 4504 16th Avenue, North East, Seattle 5, Washington. Since the new house will accommodate about fifteen more nien than our present house, we held a special rushing program to fill some of the vacancies. With Tom Williams as chairman, the program proved very successful and brought sixteen new pledges into the house. The neophytes include Rolf Bergstrom, Paul Brown, Clarence Cole, Howard Craven. Cliff Dally, Earl Dunning, Bill Jackson, Don Kelly, Gray Living-

ston, John Mason, Duane McBaine, Ray Pederson, Ray Reece, Dick Reims, John Schweitzer, and Don Smith. These ne~ boys are a swell bunch of fellows and are an excellent addl· tion to Alpha Delta Chapter. -DAVID G. ALEXANDER, llistoria11

Gamma is well on the road to take its former place high among the ranks of fraternities on campus. Our chapter nold boasts the grand total of twenty-three active members an twelve pledges. Eleven of the actives were brought into thd fold on March 30. They include: Barold Simmons, Howar Leach, Jim Low, Charles Fitzsimmons, Warren Jensen, Tonr Pace, Jim Seiler, Earl Bradley, Roger Welty, Robert Zen1• and Ted Conway.

Zeni, historian; Tony Pace, chaplain; and Warren Jensen, warden. They will reign for the remainder of this semester and in the fall. Plans are already being formulated for the opening of our new chapter house at 2634 College Avenue. The furniture which had been in storage during the war years is being re· done, and we expect to reopen in September. Although without a house we have been holding manY social functions throughout the term. They include numerou: rush luncheons and dinners. One of our most important events of the term was our recent picnic held ncar WalnU Creek, where swimming, ball playing, dancing, and eating werd enjoyed by all. Many members including Charles MacDon~ and Chu ck Fitzsimmons attended the recent Interfratern1.tY Ball held in San Francisco . One of the most enjoyable affair: of the term was our recent alumni dinner at the Hotel Stewar in San Francisco. Many alumni were present, and it was a~ honor for us to get acquainted with them that evening. AI these social activities were planned and carried out by Kell Franklin and hi s social committee. Gamma has participated in most intramural fraternity sport5 including track, softball, and horseshoes. In the horsesh 0 matches we have defeated about six houses and have enterc the semi-finals. Warren Jensen heads the ath!etic committee this term. . It isn't all play and no work at Gamma. In the selll'[ annual scholastic bulletin of the Interfraternity Council 0 the University of California the actives were at the top of thC list among forty-odd fraternities on campus, with pledge~ high up in the ranks aloe.

We held our annual Rose Ball on April 19. It was the second dance of the big week-end and a good time was enjoyed by all. Bob Auman and Larry Gerwig represented Alpha Mu on the college's track team. Larry also placed second in the intramural wrestling tournament, 165 pound class. During the early part of May we initiated the following men: Robert Smith, Dave Wilson, Ken Flodin, Bill Fennell, and Fred Fuller. June graduates included : Bill Dietrich Robert Christy, Jack McCarthy, Charles Hurd, and Robert Barteaux. Byron Mcintyre and Paul Willhide will graduate at the end of the summer term. The bouse will greatly feel the loss of these men and· we wish them the best of luck. Shortly before !he end of the year, Brother Jesse Doolittle professor of Mechanical Engineering, announced he had ac~ cepted a post at North Carolina State as head of the heat power division. Since his initiation as a faculty member May 28, 1933, Brother Doolittle's aid and guidance have car~ ried the chapter over many difficult hurdles. He has been an able and conscientious adviser, both to the chapter and to its individual members. He was instrumental in the reactivation of Alpha Mu, in spring '44, when we bad only one undergraduate brother (Charles "Chuck" Alcorn) on the campus. At a dinner given for Jesse and Mrs. Doolittle, the chapter presented him with a token of its appreciation for all he had done for us. We know that all Pi Kapps join us in wishing Jesse the best of everything in the future. -BILL QuAY AND RAY STROHM, acting historian and secretary
