ALPHA ALPHA RETURNS SIXTEEN months of persistent labor culminated on May 22, 1948, when the Alpha Alpha Chapter at Mercer University, Macon, Ga., .was reactivated. Along with this reactivation, the Macon Alumni Chapter received its charter.

The ceremonies took place at a banquet with Howard D. Leake, national treasurer, serving as installation officer, and W. Bernard Jones Jr ., national executive secretary, assisting. The climax of the banquet came with the presentation, by Treasurer Leake, of the original Alpha Alpha Charter to Jerry Kunes, transfer student from Chi Chapter of Stetson University, newly elected archon of the Alpha Alpha Chapter. Immediately following this ceremony, John M. Seiser, president of the Macon Alumni Chapter, accepted the charter for his group.

The Alpha Alpha Chapter was installed at Mercer University, February 16, 1923, and became inactive in 1939. At the close of the war, the enrollment at Mercer--co-educational-rose from 500 students to 1200. It became self-evident that the existing 7 national fraternities aboard the campus were failing to satisfy their campus responsibilities. Several of the School's officials contacted the Macon Alumni group, inquiring as to their interest in re-establishing the Pi Kappa Phi on the Mercer Campus.

Walter F. Doyle, Wiley M. Jordan Jr. , John M. Seiser, and Harry C. Dismukes, all members of the local Alumni group, began making plans for this tedious task - the U. S. President would be hesitant in trying to b r i n g anything permanent aboard Mercer's campus - but these men accepted the challenge. Jerry Kunes, the only Pi Kapp at Mercer at that time, was contacted by these "Chapter-fathers," and with the whole-hearted co-operation of the entire Macon Alumni , a local undergraduate chapter was formed and approved by the School's interfraternity council to petition Pi Kappa Phi for reactivation of the Alpha Alpha Chapter.

On May 21, 1948, eleven members of the Alpha Alpha Club were initi6

Pi Kappa Phi Goes To . N.ew Jersey by Kort Gorshkoff, B11ta Alpha · Historian

QN the twenty-ninth of May, nineteen hundred forty-eight another milestone was written into the history of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, with the installation of Beta Alpha Chapter at Newark College of Engineering, Newark, N. J. The l!eremonies were conducted in the Hotel Essex House in Newark. This occasion marked the beginning of the third trip through the Greek alphabet in the naming of chapters and the first time in over ten years that Pi Kappa Phi has .absorbed a local fraternity as one of its chapters.

Early in 194 7 the local fraternity Phi Sigma Omega passed a resolution to look into national fraternities with the ultimate ' aim of being absorbed by one of them. After some preliminary investigation the matter was shelved for action during the next school year. During the early fall of that year, through the offices of William Hazell, Associate Dean, members of Phi Sigma Omega were put in contact with Brother Jack McCann.

After several subsequent meetings with brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, including District Archon John

school and the special courses of Newark Technical School, which was ' formed in 1885 and out of which the college grew. Technically a co-educational institution, the feminine section of the student body rarely has more than one or two girls per class. This is due to the fact that N. C. E. is an engineering college giving B.S. degrees in the four branches of the profession ; mechanical, chemical, electrical, and civil.

The new graduate school will present the first M.S. degrees next June. Of the seven fraternities on the campus there are now six nationals represented.

Beta Alpha wishes to thank Alpha Xi for the swell job their initiating team did in installing the new member of the family and showing it the way on the road of friendship and fraternity.

Experiences of Distinguished Pi Kapp Journalist

Fronk L. Dennis, Alpha Gamma

FRANKL DENNIS, who has been a newspaperman since he was 14, is assistant managing editor of The Washington Post, and has been since 1940.

His first newspaper work was as a high school boy in Sand Sp_rings, Oklahoma, where he was editor of a high school paper which was judged the best such paper in the state and which won national scholastic honors, too. .He also reported for the weekly published commercially in the town.

At the University of Oklahoma, Dennis got a job as a reporter of The Oklahoma Daily, which is the college newspaper. The editor of the Daily when Dennis was a 16-year-old freshman was 0 r ville Priestley.

Priestley was a member of Alpha Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and pledged Dennis to that fraternity.

As a sophomore Dennis was managing editor of The Daily, and was editor of it during his junior and senior years-the only student at 0. U. ever to be editor two years.

Dennis says he had several experiences as a high school and college newspaper editor that have stood him in good stead ever since.

I.-When he was a high school boy in Sand Springs, The Tulsa Tribune telephoned him one day to check 10

on a report that some men had been killed in a cave-in in Sand Springs.

Dennis rushed to the scene, was told by the first by-stander he came to that three men had been buried alive, and telephoned this information to the Tribune without further check. It turned out later that only one person had been killed. The lesson this taught, of taking a few extra minutes to check for accuracy, has been useful all his newspaper life.

2.-As a college editor he thought he was of sufficient importance to write a column of opinion. It was a fairly interesting column, but was usually written shortly before deadline. Once he wrote a hasty paragraph complaining that the college treated the students like they were infants.

This gut such an enthusiastic response from students that they had a spontaneous rally, summoned the university president from his home, and roundly boohed him.

This was so unjust to the president that Dennis always remembered the incident as an example of how a thoughtless paragraph can cause trouble.

3.-In the final issue of the college daily of Dennis' final year in college, he printed a lot of campus gossip, rumor, and trash that wouldn't come under the heading of news in conventional issues, but which was very good reading. In the rush of preparing this edition for the printer, he allowed some material to be printed which was damaging to a number of reputations. As a result his degree was withheld for one year.

He learned from this that the printed word is like dynamite: if handled proplrly it is very useful, if handled

I

carelessly, it is terribly dangerous:!: thought the university was conS1 3 ate merely to delay his degree for , year; that it was a small price to pal for a great lesson. . ne The Kansas City Star at that tHee (1928) was under the control of thr 11 trustees: the presidents of th~ stari. universities of Oklahoma, M1.ssot1B· and Kansas. The late Dr. Wilha11'1 i· Bizzell , then president of the Ullf· 51 versity of Oklahoma, who bad ~1 fered Dennis' editorship in gr~~b patience, recommended him for a as a reporter on The Star, and ,; Star hired him. While Dennis ah\'a:s: liked to think his talents as a ne'~d paper reporter, as an editor a13 11 journalism student at Oklah0 en won him the job, there hav~ b~r; times when he thought Dr. B1ZZ~ 110 position as a trustee might have tniv something to do with it. lhe s; 1 . meil Working as a general ass1gn 1eJ At reporter on The Star, Dennis l~afl10 e an, 1 more about newspaper work ~n anf [he a1 next year than he has learned 111 'reti ''lldy comparable period since.

Brother Fred Sturm, Nu, owner of Parkway Motor Hotel.

According to information rece!ved, if you are looking _for. recreatt~nal facilities such as flshmg, boatmg, bathing, horseback riding, golf, tennis, picnicing, dancing, and numerous night clubs, Broth~r _Sturm's _hotel is just the spot as 1t ts strategically located for these things.

It's on to California and th~ _impressive lodge of Brother Wt~ham Downie Wood's at Robles Del Rw. A resort hotel, The Lodge is located atop a knoll and some 300 feet above the floor of the Carmel Valley.

Accommodations are limited to fifty guests, so Brother Wood 's lodge _is usually booked up many m~nths '!, advance. Guest rooms are t_n California ranch type cottages w~tch vary in size from two rooms to stx rooms each. Among the many f~atures. of this resort hotel is the ?eat!tt_ful swtmming pool and the patto chmng room.

Brother Wood has had a long and varied career since leaving the fraternity and school life of ~~rnell where he majored in hotel a_dmt~tstra­ tion. He also attended Umverstty of

Washington where he was initiated into Alpha Delta, and the University of California. Thus he had the benefit of three Pi Kapp chapters.

Brother Wood's career has taken him all the way to Paris, France where he was employed at the Hotel George V. Later he served seven years with the Canadian National Railways Hotel Department with the summers in the Rockies. In 193 7 he returned to California to seek his fortune.

"The hotel business is strange," comments Brother Wood. "Many of the people in the busin ess constantly shift from one job to another for no good reason other than they become tired of one place and want to try something different. The hotel industry has a notoriously bad record from the standpoint of investors. The hotelma1i who puts his all into a lease or purchase contract needs all the good luck to be with him ."

And what does Brother Wood think of his own situation? He declares "Despite· the precarious nature of the financial reward for one's effort, there is no doubt in my mind that I shall stick with it, for there are many advantages which come with the business of resort operating where the year round climate is temperateyou have a long closed season during which time you can truthfully sayChum, my time is my own."

South

Once more we go to the heart of the South-Atlanta, Georgia where we find one of its outstanding hotels is managed by a Pi Kapp.

The hotel: The Atlantan. The Pi Kapp: Richard B. Cumming.

A graduate of the University of Florida where he was a member of Alpha Epsilon chapter, Brother Cumming immediately went into hotel work in Miami at The Columbus Hotel. In 1942 he went with Pan-American Airways in South America.

In 1945 he returned to th e Columbus as assistant manager and remained there until 1946 when he was transferred to the Atlantan Hotel as manager.

Brother Cumming's hotel is located just a few seconds from Peachtree Street, and is located in the center of the shopping district, theaters, bus (Conliruwd on pllgP 2.S)

Four old churches that, as a result of population shifts and economic conditions, had become "weak" in members and finances.

A membership that was willing to forego its love for traditional ties with its a ncestors-in favor of increased service to the present.

The result is a development by Alexander B. Berry, Tau, in Charles City ounty, Va., that is attracting widespread attention among churchmen - the con!olidation of four of Virginia's oldest Method ist churches into one new church, with a modern building and adequate facilities for youth training, serving a parish that includes the entire county, but within twelve miles of all members. It is a move in line with the school-consolidation trend throughout the coun16

try, contrary to the church custom that has prevailed even with the shortening of distances by advanced transportation.

The four old churches, Micah, Salem and Mt. Pleasant Churches. a nd the Charles City Chapel have not been abandoned, however. They are being maintained as funeral chapels, serving the chapels that now surround them.

This, plus that fact that Dennis married ?vi i s s Katherine Wright, a Theta from Miami Oklahoma, in July of 1935, pe;suaded him to stay in the newspaper business and go to Oklahoma City.

libel as it related to one's right of privacy, especially with relation to one's photograph. He read this paper to an Associated Pressmanaging editors ' meeting in New York in 1939, and was promptly hired by the Washington Post as city editor, which job he took in November, 1939.

The next year he became assistant managing editor.

His principal job as assistant managing editor is to supervise the editing of news copy and the selection and placing of the stories. Although · the Post is among the best known papers in the world, and has been cited as being one of the 10 best in the world, Dennis has found regretfully that no paper is as good as it could be or should be. By that he means that th ere is so much going on· in the world today that no news. paper can possibly tell any story as completely as it should be told. There is neither time nor space to do it.

He says that one thing of which any editor of a Washington newspaper is particularly aware is that the President of the United States is a reader of his paper and that this naturally sharpens any editor's interest in his job.

"Lurking in your mincj is the fact that some bad error of type or judgment might bring a remark from the President at his news conference which would be heard round the world," Dennis says.

Up to now the Post has been fortunate in this respect. He remembers that once a story about President Roosevelt having a cold resulted in this typographical error: PRESIDENT CONFINED TO BED WITH COED Although the paper had started rolling with this front page error, it was caught in time that no papers reached the street. However, FDR heard about it, and was so delighted that he wanted several copies, and it was necessary to search through a freight car load of discarded papers to find him some.

As a newspaper editor, Dennis has found his law of great help, and has tried to keep abreast of the law of libel. Last year, 12 years after getting his law degree, he took the District of Columbia bar examination

22

and passed it. He has a law office and handles a small general practice. " It has always seemed to me that newspapermen know too little about the working of the courts," he says. " I know that is true of myself, and by having some contact with courts as a lawyer as well as a newspaperman, I hope to learn things that will be useful to the paper and the courts, and so to the community."

Dennis was born in Larkspur California Sept. 27, 1907 and lived his boyhood in the southwestern states.

He spent much of his time as a boy hiking, camping, and fishing , and as a result has been blessed with a good physique (he is 6 feet 3, weighs 192) and superb health. For example, while going to Harvard law school, he never missed a class or a day's work, and in 9 years on the Post he has never missed a day. (knock on wood).

He is the father of a 10-year-old son, Frank Landt Dennis, Jr. , who is a student in St. Albans school, Washington.

For advice to a youngster thinking of going into newspaper work, Dennis suggests that he get a job as a copy boy in any newspaper office during vacations, and take a course in journalism in college, provided the college has a good journalism course.

He believes that not more than a third of the student's time in a fouryear period should be spent in journalism classes, as general education is more useful than specialized journalism courses.

tions those men who he thought could best aid the university, party politics being of no consideration.

His most important effort at inaugurating reforms to benefit the student body has been his efforts to bring about the adoption of the new constitution for increased student government in campus affairs.

DeWitt Ross Patterson was born on March 27, 1928 in Roanoke, Virginia. He attended Jefferson Senior High School there and graduated 12th

in his class of several hundred. rll entered Roanoke College in the \ of 1944 and was pledged to Pi KaPP' Phi in December.

KAPPA PHI

DISTRICT RALPH M. SNIDER, THE NORTHWEST'S DISTRICT ARCHON It is a long way from Charleston, South Carolina to Seattle, Washington, almost four thousand miles, in fact. That Pi Kappa Phi is almost as strong in Seattle as it is in Charleston indicates how true it is that Pi Kappa Phi has become truly national in scope in her forty-four years.

All of this didn 't just happen, however. It took the same pioneering spirit in Seattle as it did in Charleston to make it so. Thus we come to the name of a man who has been in the Northwest Pi Kappa Phi parade for several years and who is currently heading it. He is Brother Ralph M. Snider of Seattle, Washington.

Rolph M. Snider"'

Brother Snider was appointed District Archon of District XIX, comprised of Washington and Oregon, late last year. He lost no time in calling the chapters of his district

ARCHONS together for a conclave which he hopes will be an annual affair. He exhibited some of his organizational skill in having this conclave take shape as a tangible and working organization to the end of proposing improvements within his own district and Fraternity as a national organization. Several of the proposals emanating from this conclave have been adopted by his district and the National organization.

Ralph held several offices in his und ergrad uate chapter anrl his contribution to our "Rushing Manual" is still incorporated therein. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1940. Upon leaving school, Brother Snider went into the field of office ma nagement.

He taught in this field for several years and is currently comptroller of the H. E. Zobrist Company, Inc. of Seattle, Washington.

His interests are not all confined to Pi Kappa Phi, however. He is a member of th e Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trustees Credit Men's Association, president of the Portland Chapter of the National Office Management Association . and is on the board of the Seattle Chapter of the National Office Management Association.

Brother Snider is one of tMree brothers who are Pi Kapps (the others arc Eldon Robert Snider, and H. Wayne Snider, all Alpha Deltans) and he has two sons, eleven and fifteen years of age. He has fond hopes 1hat one day these boys wHl also be Pi Kapps. If you will but be at the forthcoming convention in Detroit in Seotember, you will see that Ralph Snider's two sons will have some mighty big Pi Kappa Phi shoes to fill.

Do you want to see Pi Kappa Phi grow ?

Do you want to see Pi Kappa Phi strong in every sense of the word? .

Do you want to have a part m making the answers to the two above questions are ounding 'YE ! " ?

If you do want to assist your fraternity, perhap the easiest and implest way is to join the ranks of those Pi Kapps who have sent in their VOLUNTARY DUES for 1948. lt doesn 't take too much time nor do we want it to take too much of your money.

As little as a dollar bill will help.

In addition it shows u that we do have alumni who have not let their interest end in the fraternity when they left their respective chapters.

So why not join the growing list of VOLUNTARY DUES MEN now !

Here are some of the concrete things your support will do: 26

With Brother Denny are Mrs. Denny, his mother, Mrs. G. Y~ Denny, Sr., Harold Laski, Max Lerner, Lou1s P. Lochner, Georg Bell Timmerman, Sigma, and other invited guests.

1. Enable the national organization to push our expansion program on a much bigger cale.

Growth in numbers means security for the future, so you are helping Pi Kappa Phi advance to new horizons.

2. Enable the national organization to render greater financial assistance to the c h a p t e r s through loans, etc.

3. Enable the national organization to render more assistance to the chapters in the way of services, traveling representatives, and materials.

4. Enable the national organization to increase the Star & Lamp budget which will result in a bigger and better magazine.
