Pi Kappa Phi Enters

University of Louisvill( Pi Kappa Phi entered the State of Kentucky for the first time on 'Saturday, April 16, when it installed Beta Gamma Chapter at the University of Louisville, Louisville, Ky. The initiation and installation r:eremonies which were led by Sam Browder, Archon of Alpha Sigma Chapter, University of Tennessee, took place at Beta Gamma's chapter house, 2216 Confederate Place, Louisville.

National President Howard D. Leake presented the charter to the Louisville group at the post-installation banquet held in the Leather Room of the Seelbach Hotel, Louisville.

In speaking to them President Leake said, "Gentlemen, we know what we are here for and we hope that none of you lose sight of it.

Know where you are going and then plow a straight furrow.

"Fraternity life is a game and the way to stay is to measure up and play the rules. A fraternity is a group of men working together with initiative and stimulative actions to create a sound unit . A good fraternity makes mistakes and discards them. It keeps the good things and passes them on to other fraternities to make better men."

In speaking of Pi Kappa Phi, President Leake said, "Two wars have not stopped it, a depression did not stop it, and nothing can stop it - that, in the essence is Pi Kappa Phi." Beta Gamma is an outgrowth of the local fraternity, Tau Alpha Rho. In his acceptance speech, Beta Gamma's first archon, James O'Neal, assured President Leake, "Tau Alpha Rho died tonight, but its spirit lives on in Pi Kappa Phi." W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Executive Secretary, then made a short inspirational talk.

Dean Morton Walker, welcomed the young group to the Louisville campus and spoke briefly of its work 2

FOR many years the old Lafayette Hotel in New York and a somewhat similar hostelry, the Brevoort, at Fifth Avenue and Eighth Street, were landmarks in the lower Fifth Avenue section of Greenwich Village.

Years ago by the father of Raymond ?rteig, Jr., Alpha Xi, have made it tncreasingly difficult to operate a hostelry of the Lafayette's type and lhe Orteig brothers have recently' announced that they will close it on 路 March 31.

~~

l'he Lafayette has been noted not for the excellence of its French Utstne and wines, but also for its u. . ntque atmosphere of friendliness anct charm. In the cafe, where the ~a~ble. top tables have been from the gtnntng, people sat and read the ~apers or played a foolish game called agatelle unhurried by waiters who i~tiently endured American French.

Was the regular resort through ~nany years of artists and writers who happy memories of student days ~ong the Seine and would linger ere for long afternoons at small exPense, while the talk of little groups ranged and sometimes raged. And it Would mean something today to give a rnere list of names of those who sought in that room the comforts not Pre 路 lh' Ctsely furnished by the home when ts century was young.

brothers, Evare.s te and Jean. Changes in the character of the neighborhood and the general trend toward concentration in the neighborhoods further uptown also contributed to their dectswn. Mounting cost of materials and general overhead, aging of the building, together with requirements of various new state laws for structural changes, all pointed to the same conclusion. Finally, with reluctance, the decision was taken by the Orteigs to close.

Raymond Orteig, Sr., Brother Ray's father, established the Lafayette fifty years ago. He had come to this country from France in 1882, and was on the staff of the old Martin Hotel when he took over the premises and changed its name to the Lafayette.

To express his gratitude to thl' American people and to contribute toward friendly relations between his native France and his adopted country, Mr. Orteig posted the $2 5,000 prize that was won by Charles A.

Lindbergh in 192 7 for the first nonstop flight between the two countries.

Mementos of this and other flights, as well as the certificate of an Officer of the Legion of Honor conferred upon Mr. Orteig by the French Govermnent, adorned the walls of the hotel. Mr. Orteig's three sons, who were associated with him for many years, carried on his traditions and guided the establishment success full y during the depression and war years.

"Always the atmosphere remained the same," they said in their closing announcement. "There was always a corner of Paris (there) in ew York."

Raymond Orteig, Jr., was one of the early members of Alpha Xi chapter, having been initiated in 1928. He has maintained an active interest in the chapter as well as the New York City alumni chapter. The Lafayette has been the meeting place of the latter for its annual meeting. A number of the "old timers" often stayed late in Ray's back room where the chosen were invited for highballs.

These Brothers have made outstanding scholarship records. Pi Kappa Phi may well be proud of them. They are deserving of this recognition and the congratulations of our entire fraternity.

The first awards to Pi Kappa Phi Scholars were made in 1927 when the first two brothers received that distinction, and each year saw a group of from two to nine Brothers honored until World War II stopped practically all fraternity activity. Betore the war a total of 123 Scholars was chosen with most of the chapters having one or more representatives.

Last year's group composed of five Scholars, the first group so honored since the close of World War II, brought the total to 128. This year's group brings the total to 13 7 Scholars chosen to date. Some chapters have made unusual records during these eighteen years Omega has had fourteen Scholars; Epsilon, eleven; 9

Pi Kappa Phi Wins "Joe College" At Oregon -~-~~·~

By AI Ruedy, Alpha Omega

A certain obstacle to overco when a new chapter enters a forei campus is that of establishing name in the minds of the studeP On December 6, 1947 when Air Omega was born at the Univers of Oregon, very few students had 1 er heard of Pi Kappa Phi. But tba a different story now- those 11 haven't heard of us at Oregon s in the minority.

The story behind our success is boy, Bill Gaffney by name, a got looking, mid-western cuss from I wilds of Stanley, Wisconsin. 0 hero, a sophomore, in architectU pledged Pi Kappa Phi early in I fall term and while still a pled! brought the name of Pi Kappa f into the spotlight.

Late in the fall term, thirty-o . living organizations entered a sopb more to represent them in a "Joe 0 lege" competition contest. The c~ testants were then narrowed down six by the judges. These final i were left to the mercy of the 2~ women students for final selecttC Since the girls did all the voting, I campaign was carried right into 1. houses of the women's living orga izations.

Bill Gaffney caught the eye of! judges and landed a spot in the ft; six in competition, among them It men from well-established fraterr ties. Bill had to be sold as J1131 girls vote for a house rather tbaO candidate. So the odds were stackf William (Bill) B. Gaffney, Alpha Omega, caught the eyes of the judges and cornered most against Pi Kappa Phi, but this didr of the votes, to win "Joe College" contest on the Un iversity of Oregon campus.

proud that by organization, determination, and an indomitable spirit, they have put the name of their young Pi Kapp organization on the map at the University of Oregon .

Pi Kapps Acclaimed In 1New York Concerts ( Contint~ed from Page 6) Dowell and has featured his works in most of her public appearances.

Mrs. Bolvig, a Concert Pianist and Teacher, is a native of Elmira, N. Y. She attracted attention in Upstate New York .cities by her outstanding technique at the age of 8 years. When she was 12 years old she made her first professional appearance in concert. Mrs. Bolvig subsequently attended and graduated from the Eastman School of Music where she studied with Dr. Raymond Wilson, Sandor Vas and Emanuel Balaban: She made her debut with the Rochester Philharmonic Symphony under Dr. Howard Hanson. She is a member of the faculty of the Roosa School of Music in Brooklyn, NY., and is also a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, music honor sorority.

Brother Larry, an E . E. from Brooklyn Polytechnique Institute, studied voice with Bernard Taylor of the Juilliard School of Music and with Allan Hinckley formerly of the Metropolitan Opera Company.

When World War II began he received a commission in the U. S. Army and saw more than three years service in the European•Theatre. In 1943, while stationed in London, England , Brother Bolvig was soloist in St. Peters Church in Stainer's "Crucifixion. " He took part in the Normandy invasion and was on duty at the Elbe river in Germany when the war ended. However, while stationed in Paris, Larry studied with George Jouatte of the Paris Opera company and was soloist and the only American member, at that time, in a double quartet in the American Cathedral in Paris, under the direction of the late Lawrence Kilbourne Whipp.

When Brother Bolvig was on duty with the Army of Occupation in Germany, he managed to find time for music and studied German lieder with Frau Lulli Alzen, of the Berlin Opera Company. Following military service, he received coaching from the

late Fritz Kitzinger, and Catherine Rader, thru the American Theatre Wing, and resumed his studies with Lucile Kellogg of New York. He was soloist on a special Easter radio program in 1947 with Cardinal Spellman and has been soloist on the "Kellogg Gems" programs. Larry has also been soloist in many oratorios including the Messiah, The Creation and the Elijah.

When two Pi Kapps set out to do the same kind of things, the finished product may well be looked upon with pride. Besides being very occupied with these musical chores, Brothers Bolvig and Lewis have taken over the task of revising the Pi Kapp song book. Thus one can readily see that the current edition of "Songs of Pi Kappa Phi" is in good hands.

William G. Davis, Jr., Appointed Chapter Adviser of Lambda William G. Davis, Jr. , Alpha Eta, of 765 Milledge Ave., Athens, Ga. , has succeeded ·Brother S. Walter . Martin, Delta, as chapter adviser of Lambda Chapter.

Brother Davis was initiated into Alpha Eta (Howard College) chapter in 1928. After spending two years at Howard, he transferred to the University of Alabama and became a member of Omicron chapter. He received his A. B. degree at Alabama in 1931 and his M.A. there in 1932.

While at Alabama he was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa and was the recipient of a Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship key in 1930.

In 1933 Brother Davis moved to Washington, D. C., and for fifteen years thereafter was connected with the U. S. Senate in an administrative capacity. During tli.is time he pursued his graduate studies at Harvard University, receiving an M.A. degree at Harvard in 1943. and his Ph.D. degree there in 1948.

Brother Davis's specialty is Latin American History, and he spent several months in 1943 and 1946 traveling through the various Latin American countries. He came to the University of Georgia in September, 1948, and is now teaching Latin American history there.

Brother Davis is married and has two children.

ceremony and that such records be made available to each chapter."

These two resolutions were unani mously passed.

The Treasurer's group reported they had made a tour of the Cooperative Managers Association in Corvallis, their objective being to acquire ideas on placing similar organizations at their various schools. They discussed at length the bookkeeping sys· terns of each chapter. At this point Brother Head made the suggestion that some provision be made which would relieve the host chapter of the financial burden of the annual conclave; that each chapter contribute $2 5 yearly to the Fund; and that a registration fee be assessed each man in attendance. The suggestion was approved, pending the redistricting report from Central Office.

Although the Historians and Chaplains met together, they reported their discussions separately. The Historians discussed their individual chapter publications and exchanged ideas as to content and lay-out. They recommended that copies of the Conclave's program be sent to each un. dergraduate chapter, to the National Council, and to Central Office, as part of an overall publicity plan for the 1950 Supreme Chapter; that the west coast chapters have stationery printed with the slogan, "For you a Pi Kapp rose in Portland grows," for use in the interval between now and the 19 50 Supreme Chapter; that each chapter appoint .a one-man committee to publicize the 19 50 Supreme Chapter. Such man should be a sophomore and be an undergraduate when the meeting adjourns. These three recommendations were approved.

The Chaplains' group suggested that individual chapters initiate the practice of having frequent speakers on various subjects during the school year. They also suggested that the individual chapters encourage church attendance. as a body at least once each term.

Problems of rushing · and pledging were discussed by the Rushing Chairmen. The group praised the rushing brochure, published by Central Office , which they stated had added immeasurably to the rushing function. Alpha Zeta and Alpha Omega agreed to continue the practice of holding joint rushing functions during the summer and that rushees entering either of the other schools would be contacted and recommended to the chapters concerned. The expenses of these functions will be borne jointly and will be held in other parts of the state as well as in Portland.

The establishment of a rotating scholarship cup award was the main discussion topic of the Scholarship Chairmen. a) The · trophy would be a rotating one. The chapter losing it the current year would bear the expense of engraving. b) The cup would be awarded to the chapter having the highest grade point average for an entire year, including the pledges and members' grades for the entire year. c) The District Archon would choose the winner and award the cup. After a discussion, it was unanimously voted that the basis for the award would be the percentage above the all-men's average for each school for that year, a year being defined as the normal 9 months period.

Brother Snider then gave a brief description of plans and set-up of the 1950 convention. He urged that definite action be started immediately on the planning cif activities.

..

It was moved , seconded, and passed that the 1949 conclave of the west coast chapters go on record as approving the action of the 2 2nd Supreine Chapter to have the 1950 convention in Portland.

The pledge meeting reported that they had discussed the exchange of letters resulting in debates on such questions as pledge requirements, scholarship, race discrimination, and other subjects. They further discussed various projects they "had underway and the work requirements of each chapter.

Upon conclusion of the reports ol th the discussion groups, Brother Snid~r 19 addressed the group on th€ responst· of bility and privilege of being .a tra" ternity man. liJ Alpha Omega chapter extended at ap invitation to the group to hold tbr iti 1950 conclave at the University ol on Oregon and Brother Snider accepted Ar the invitation for the group . en A vote of thanks was extended 19 Brother Snider for his participation pr and interest and the meeting was ad Tl journed. ve nt ROBERT F.

An important part of the University of Louisville's educational philosophy is the belief that, if higher education in America is to play its role adequately in American democracy and international affairs, colleges and universities must find ways of extending a program of adult educatibn beyond the limitations of campus or classroom. Since June, 1948, the University of Louisville, in cooperation with the Columbia Broadcasting System affiliate, Station WHAS, and the National Broadcasting Company affiliate, Station WAVE, has begun a new experiment in .bringing university education into the home by offering radio assisted correspondence courses, for which college credit may be earned. An art appreciation course has been prepared for the medium of television, and is expected to be used in the near future.

The University of Louisville is proud to welcome Pi Kappa Phi. At present, there are nine other national social fraternities on the campus: Kappa Alpha, whose chapter was established here in 1921 ; Triangle, 1941 ; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1942; Sigma Alpha Mu, 1945 ; Phi Kappa Tau, 1947; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 194 7; Tau Epsilon Phi, 194 7; Lambda Chi Alpha, 1948; and Delta Upsilon, 1949. Delta Theta is a local fraternity on the University of Louisville campus.

Again this semester Gamma will be run on the smooth Committee System as archon Heger has appointed a competent group of chairmen.

The long trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Game on January 1st was a trying one. Gamma bad two full rows of members and pledges in the men's rooting section. Many of the Northern boys arrived a week or so early, so those residing in the southern part of the State threw their homes open to the Yankees. The day was not as sad as it might seem for the boys from California even though the final score read 20-14; it looked like Cal was going to score an upset, but----.

"Purification Week" was followed by an impressive initiation. Roy Heffner, former Supreme Archon, bigblighteri the banquet.

Brother Kelly will spend a few days in Berkeley with the members before journeying to the "Big City" for the evening banquet.

Pi Kappa Phi is doing well in intramural sports. Our bowling team, Mallory, Fitzsimmons, and Baker reached the semifinals. In basketball we won 2, lost 1; in tennis we are in quarter finals. We haw yet to start softball but have a promising

It seems that April is a month of social events. Our Annual Spring Formal is being held on Apri l 8th at the Mira Vista Country Club, high in the Oakland-Berkeley hills, overlooking San Francisco bay. The Club is ideal for a formal and with the band we have engaged, the dance should be a hum -dinger. This term the affair will be in the form of a Rose Ball. Preliminary judging for the Rose Queen will be held the week preceding; the winner ruling over the Ball. The list of candidates, according to Chairman Chuck Fitzsimmons, is growing longer as the date approaches. .

We are very proud of our spring pledge class composed of the following 12 men: Bud Oakes, Colton; Warren Carson, Oakland; Jim Knowles, Alameda; Loren Baker and Bob Parmelee, San Francisco; Bob Badger, Santa Barbara; Walt Nordquist, San Mateo; Nick Barnhill, Del Mar; Maner Thorpe, Los Angeles; Ed :ll<elson, Long Beach; Bill Berry, Bishop; and Bob Atteberry, Ontario.

Iota's January 23rd, initiates.

"Miss Pi Kappa Phi." Archon Britt Davis announced th e choice of Miss Simmons and presented her a large bouquet of red roses. She was escorted by Pledg.e Howard Crowell.

Four Pi Kapps received their degrees during the Winter quarter and have gone into the world to make their fortunes.

They are: Walter Crawford and Cal Dawson of Atlanta; William Fulton, Albemarle, N. C.; and George Anton, Savannah, Ga During the Spring holidays, March 19-28, Iota's home received a complete redecora-

Lambda

The following officers were recently installed : Billy Smith, Wrens, Ga., archon; Lucius C. Jackson, Gainesville, Ga., treas· urer; Jimmy Harp, Brunswick, secretary; Frank Scarlett, Brunswick, historian; Dick Graves, Clarkesville, Ga., chaplain; and Bill Satterwhite, Atlanta, warden. Emmett Bearden, Americus, Ga., is house manager.

The biggest thing that happened to Lambda in a long time was the Rose Ball on January 21st. The Auburn Knights furnished the music. Brothers and pledges entertained their dates at a formal reception at the house before the dance, when each date was presented a miniature engraved loving cup . Just prior to intermission and the no -break dance, Archon Billy Smith presented a dozen red roses to Miss Jackie Fuller of Rome, Georgia, the "Rose" of Lambda chapter. Miss Fuller is a student in the School of Arts and Sciences and a member of the honorary Drama Fraternity.

The past owners of our fraternity house rented the small house located in the back of ours to a family during the war. Up to the present time they have lived there.

Now they have vacated and the hou se i& entirely ours. It is being given a thorough cleaning and paint job in preparation for use as recreation rooms for brothers and pledges.

Our new pledges are : Charlie Bailes, Leesburg, Ga.; Jim Malsberger, and George Templeton, Atlanta, Ga., Charlie Meddock, Hazelhurst, Ga. ; Jimmy McMillan, Brunswick, Ga. ; Pearly Thigpin, Adrian, Ga.; Sam Slade, Edgefield, S. C.; and Don Farra!, Staten Island, N. Y. Pledge meetings now are run according to the prescribed parliamentary rule.

The pledges have set up horseshoe and croquet games and a badminton court in the back yard.

Before Brother William A. Pryor left the chapter, he set up a point system by

19

which no pledge could be initiated until he achieved a certain number of points for par{icipating in extra-curricular activities.

The pledge securing the largest number of points is to have his name inscribed on a cup or plaque.

Through the cooperation of the University, the IFC is furnishing foreign students with room, board, and books for as long as they stay at the University. The JFC is also attempting to bring ab'out a Cooperative Wholesale Market where fraternities and sororities may purchase their food and kitchen supplies at a reduced rate.

A scholarship committee is functioning which checks th e grades and calls the boys' attention to their averages. A quiet hour , from eight to ten o'clock, has been put into effect as an inducement to study .

Lambda chapter is earnestly striving to raise the scholastic averages of the members.

At a recent meeting the chapter voted to raise the dues for members and pledges one dollar per month. These dollars are to be put into a special sayings account to be .used as a rese rve for major repairs. We are hoping that this, with some additional help from the alumni, will be ample to put the- house in tip top shape by fall .

Brother William C. Davis, Professor of Latin American History at Georgia, has recently been· appointed our chapter ad viser. He has shown a keen interest in Lambda and we all know he will be a big help to us.

Maynard recently received his basketball letter. Jordan 'had an important part in Stetson's "Religious Focus Week" and recently sparked the varsity tennis team to a brilliant victory over Florida Southern College. All Pi Kapps are hard at work trying to win the intramural cup.

Brother Harold M. Griffin, head of Stetson's School of Music, recently conducted Gilbert and Sullivan's Comic Opera, THE GONDOLIERS. Bill Jones, Neil Nelson, Bob Doty, Eugene Doran, and Ray Moeller took part in the production. Brother Jones played "Giuseppe," one of the leading roles.

Our pledges gained many friend s and helped improve campus spirit by holding "Open House" for the other fraternity pledges at Stetson. They also honored "Doc" Ray, and voted him "Active of the Month," for being most helpful to the pledges. This idea should go far in increasing our fraternal friendship.

We return from our Spring vasation on March 28 to prepare for our annual PARADE OF ORCHIDS week end. Friday, April 1, we hold an open house; Saturday afternoon, an informal banquet by the crystal waters of famous Ponce de Leon Springs; and that evening the Formal ORCHID DANCE will ·be held in the interfraternity ball room . Sunday, all Pi Kapps and their dates will attend church in a body. Later in the day, we will tour to Daytona Beach for a beach party. We, of course, alw'ays look forward eagerly to Stetson's Spring Qua~ter.

Incidentally, scholastically Chi was top fraternity on campus last quarter.

Omega

Piloting the chapter this semester are Robert English, archon; Richmond McQuistan, treasurer; Leonard Ficken, secretary; Richard Lowe, historian; Loren Montgomery, chaplain; Sylvanus Monks, warden; and Edward Vana, house mana1j ger.

Phillip Neff, Tom Brown, John Rouse, William Ploeger, Fred Queisser, and Robert Waixel received their " sheepskins" on February 5th. Unable to resist the charms of Ann Templeton, Tom became the first of the six to join "The Ball and Chain Gang."

Fifteen new pledges joined the 16 already pledged to make a total of 31 for Warden Monks to handle. They are: Larry Acker, Birmingham, Ala. ; Bill Rush, and Richard Lovelace, Frankfort, Ind. ; Guthrie Carr, West Lafayette, Ind.; Jack Putt and Dick Singer, Chicago; Bill Henke and Robert Rust, Evansville, Ind.; John Ga~dos, West-

lake, Ohio; Jack Wagner, South Bend, Ind.; Marc Ralston, Fort Wayne, Ind.; Larry Kreigh, Ossian, Ind.; Paul Frederick, Elkhart, Ind.; Dale Kaiser, Piqua, Ohio; and James Oakes, Lyndonville, N. Y. Turning in his pledge pin to join the ranks of the G.A.A.'s on February 28th was Vern Pulling. Vern, our ballad-singing crooner, currently has his own program over the University's station, WBAA. Omega is to be the host for the first District XI conclave on March 19-20.

Pledges and actives from Upsilon, Alpha Phi, Alpha Psi, and Omega will assemble for an informal registration Saturday morning. The afternoon has been set aside for discussions on various chapter operations and the evening will be highlighted by a banquet at Lincoln Lodge, followed by entertainment both at the Lodge and at the house. Closing the meeting on Sunday morning will be a District Chapter meeting. It is hoped that this will be the first in a series of annual District XI conclaves which will lead to closer understanding and brotherhood among the various chapters.

Scholastically speaking, Omega climbed to fourth place among thirty-five Purdue fraternities for the 1947-48 school year.

This is a jump of four notches above the preceding year.

The T .A.P. dance, held on March 12th at Lincoln Lodge, highlighted the spring social season. This is a traditional dance of three fraternities Triangle, Alpha Gamma Rho, and Pi Kappa Phi. This year the dance took the form of a formal dinnerdance. It is interesting to note that the T.A.P'ers ranked in the top four in fra ternity scholastic standing. The social committee, headed by Joe Huber, is busy lining up trade. functions and planning the social calendar for the rest of the semester.

The annual pledge-active basketball game ended up in a 66-56 victory for the pledges. Sparked by the three Freshman B-ballers-Ralph Ormsby, Bob Snyder and Pete Brewster- the pledges took advantage of the rapidly-tiring active-five during the last minutes of the game to gain their winning margin.

Until next time, here's hoping that we hear from many of you Alumni.

had a very enjoyable time. The meetings were very constructive and the delegates brought back many good ideas.

A hilarious time was had at our hard times party which featured a beard growing contest. The four men having gro~n the longest beards received the doubtful reward of participating in a shaving con test in which 'their dates were the barbers.

The contest proved to be a bloody good show.

Other social activities last quarter included two parties at the home of one of our town men and evening exchanges with Phi

Mu, Alpha Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha sororities. During the spring quarter, we are looking forward to several firesides. beach parties and evening exchanges. Thl big event during the next eleven weeks will be our spring formal. Plans for this dance to be held May 14, are well underwaY with brother Glen Berry, social chairman, making the necessary arrangements.

We would like to remind everyone thai Alph a Delta's doors are always open to any and all Pi Kapps who happen to be passing through Seattle.

Alpha Epsilon eagerly awaits the big social event of the semester, Spring Frolics.

Skitch Henderson's Orchestra will supply the music for the two day affair which will be held in Florida's new. $2,000,000 gymnasium.

The other big social of the season, Pi Kapp Weekend, ran smoothly thanks to Social Chairman Jim Pace. The climax of the weekend was a formal banquet held at the 400 Club.

Alpha Epsilon, along with the other chapters in Florida, looks with pride at the colony recently established at Florida State University in Tallahassee.

Our new Traveling Counselor, "Gene" Kraber, visited Alpha Epsilon for the first time last March.

The chapter started a movement which is now sweeping the Florida campus, that of inviting faculty members to give informal talks once a week. The "aftersupper" sessions have been well attended.

Four Pi Kapps entered the Second Annual Interfraternity Bridge Tournament and politely walked out with the winners cup. Participating were Alex Edwards, Judson Walker, Alex Edwards, and Roland Kenna.

The following men went through formal initiation March 13 and are now active members: Bud Abbott, Jack Armstrong, Malcolm Dykes, Jim Fitzgerald, Tom Fitzgerald, Boq Guyton, Frank Johnson, Tom McCreedy, Jay Merkel, Karl Miller, Morgan Ramsey, Charlie Rig!, Charlie Rowe, Bill Stoker, and Allen Valero.

New pledges this term are: Pete MacEachron, Fellsmere; Charlton Prather and Charles Hunter, Jasper; Hap Pickle ancl Ken Curry, Miami; Rex Thompson, St. Albans, W. Va.; Bill Peters and Art Heald, Tampa; Art . Ward, Miami Beach ; Harry Carter, Tampa; and Tom Johns, Jl;ew Smyrna Beach.

Auburn

Alpha Iota

Highlighting the events of last quarter was the appointment of Brother Warren William,s, of Luverne, as new District Archon. An alumnus of Alpha Iota, War· ren graduated from Auburn in 1947 with a B.S. degree in agricu lture and a D.V.M. degree in veterinary medicine. We feel certain that he is fully capable of meeting these new responsibilities, and we take this opportunity to pledge to him our full and unswerving cooperation.

Four new men were pledged last quarter.

They are Hugh Camp, Moreland, Ga.; Charles Hartwell, Mobile; Edgar Baker,

24

Birmingham; and Archie Stapleton, Fairhope.

Seven new brothers were initiated into the lodge during the winter quarter. Informal initiation was held during the week of February 21, and formal was held the following Wednesday night. Brothers Frank Robison and Whit Stuckey put on one of the best in formals in our history, while Brother John Keith made an equal success of formal. The new l:irothers are Kenneth Cochran, Albertville; Bill Brown, Mobile; Bill Ford, Jasper; Tom Fuller, Perryville; Charles Fricke, Athens; Fred Hallmark, Birmingham; and Greg Mitchell, Riverside, Calif. We issue these men a hearty welcome into the lodge.

On April 16 we will hold our annual "Red Rose Ball." Brother Tom Morgan, chairman of the Formal Dance Committee, has already completed plans for the weekend. Friday night we will attend a "getacquainted" house dance, with skits furnished by the pledges. Saturday afternoon there will be a tea dance at the Casino, and that night the "Red Rose Ball" will be held at the Student Activities Building.

Music for both dances will be furnished by the "Auburn Plainsmen." All Pi Kapps are cordially invited to attend.

Tom Fuller, freshman from Perryville, was awarded the annual Scholarship Key given by the chapter to the pledge having the highest grade point average. Tom won this key in competition with seventeen other pledges by making a 3.5 average.

Alpha Iota accumulated a few more "wheels" last quarter. Brother Tom Morgan was elected president of the Horticulture Club and a member of Ag Council; Brother Elton Bailey, Business Manager of the Alabama Farmer,· Brother Jim McGowan was selected for membership in Delta Sigma Pi; and Brother Whit Stuckey, secretary of the Forestry Club.

Only one man joined the ranks of the alumni last quarter. Brother Jack Pierson, , Dothan, graduated March 21 with a degree in Business Administration. We wish him the best of luck in the future.

Our alumni news is practically "nil," so would you grads drop us a line to let us know how things are. Brothers who left to join the ranks of the alumni at the end of the fall semester are: Fred Snyder, Norm Wynn, George Metger, John Jone~ Frank Mohney, George Starrett, and Bill Howell. We wish them the best of Juc~ and urge them to keep in touch with us.

Interfraternity sports put us in the semifinals for bowling and we still have a good chance for baseball supremacy.

Now that spring is around the corner, automobiles of all sizes, shapes, and makes are being reconditioned by Pi Kapp owners for spring operation. Old Fords seem to predominate, which is of little significance nationally. To car owners here, however, it means that if your fuel pump doesn't work, just take one from Bruce's or O'Brien's. Farnham and Downey still take first place for having the most fabulous Ford-type machines--but Mursch threatens he will have a more famous one in the near future.

the social chairman is too gregarious a fellow. Among lesser dates on the agenda is an alumni week end. A real homecoming, the function, a Thursday to Monday affair, will include informal and semi-formal house dances and outdoor highlights. We plan to play a rousing softball game against Pi Kapp grads of the 1920's. Seriously, however, we want to see and hear more from our alumni.

Interested Alpha Phi alumni attended an informal meeting at the house on March 4.

Three temporary officers were chosen and plans drawn up for a constitution and Illinois corporate chapter. John Mark directed the meeting; Ray Olson acted as scribe until John Pottenger and Warren Lenox were appointed recording secretary and corresponding secretary respectively.

John Sachs and AI Roach were appointed to attend alumni IFC meetings on campus.

John Mark and Ray Smith were selected heads in' writing the Constitution. Others present at the meeting were Archon Edgar Morse, and Frank Janik, undergraduate alumni coordination chairman, and present historian of the chapter.

Officers selected to serve this term are: Edgar Morse, archon; Dick Baldwin, secretary; Charles Fletcher, treasurer; George Zak, chaplain; Frank Janik, historian; Gene Schoelkopf, warden; Don Frank, sports manager; Bob Boehning, house manager; Bob Ross, social chairman; Hank Fallerius, rushing chairman; and Charles R. Woods, steward.

Archon Morse has started the ball rolling on various activities that needed attention for some time. One of them is the rewriting of Alpha Phi's By-Laws and rules

25

and the extension of study aids and examination files. Brother Morse is a Chicagoan and is majoring in physics. He has a part-time job as demonstrator at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

We held an initiation at Yonkers Restaurant on February 13th, for two menEdward Styles, Springfield, Illinois Math major; and Donald P. Hayden, Brooklyn, N. Y., business and economics student, majoring in Industrial-Labor relations.

Hall Fallerius directed rushing activities this term. Ten men have been pledged: Robert Frey, Milan Ivaska, William Grip, Ray Hettick, Philip Berton, Pa·ul Sirevicius, Robert Keller, Donald G. Fannon, George Hardina, and George Weber. Our rushing program was highlighted by a Saturday night dance. Thanks to Brother John Chervenak (what a man) who brought about a dozen girls, we had a full house.

How does John do it? He keeps a good school average too 1 Social Chairman Bob Ross and his wife, Mary Helen, surely win a vote of thanks and praise for. arranging the affair arid being able to prepare food for 60 hungry people on very short notice.

Our basketball team has not faired too well against its powerful foes. Even with such hot shots as Art Dammkoebler, Bob Boehning, and Bob Ross, the opponents took us Jor a loss. Others that made up the Pi Kapp five are: Joe Jallits, Don Frank, Bob Applegate, Ray Giegerich, and Bob Frey. We have some legitimate excuses for our poor showing. In nearly every game one or two players were indisposed. George Hallinan, captain a few terms ago, had a bad leg that kept him out of all but a few games.

Don Frank, new sports manager, says our future looks a bit brighter. John Cbervenek is assistant coach of the school's track team.

Social Chairman, Bob Ross, is planning a barn dance for April. He's looking around for a large enough place in which to dance the Virginia Reel. . FRANK JANIK, historia11

Upsilon

With the spring semester half completed, Upsilon chapter is not only busy with its scholastic achievements but also with many activities so prevalent during the season. Kreel Kasserman was elected to serve as archon. Other elected officers include Ralph Matusiak, treasurer; Bob Kieres, secretary; Wayne Brown, historian; Frank Collins, chaplain; and Jim Bayne, warden. Appointed officers include Peter DePasquale, steward; Bob Kret, pledgemaster and rushing chairman; Bill Shaw, 26

songmaster; Warren Perkins, house manager; and George Walker, alumni cont~ct man.

Late in February nine men were initiated.

They include: Russell Mighell, Sugar Grove; St~wart Ramsey, Rock Island; Ed Sperr, and Darrell Helmuth, Fort Wayne, Ind.; Bill Shaw, Pittsburg, Pa.; Jim Brill, Peoria; George Walker, Newton; John Brown, Westfield, N. J.; Willis Romjue, Red Cloud, Nebraska.

A new group of handsome, husky men have moved into the house to form our second semester pledge class. They are: Luke Oberwise, George Bone, Lawrence Taton, David Rogers, and Glenn Hesler.

Pictured above is the new Beta class of Upsilon. From I. to r.: Rus Mighell, Stew Ramsey, Jock Brown, Bill Show, Ed Sperr, Willis Romjue, Jim Brill, George Walker. Ed Sperr is holding the award presented to him as the outstanding pledge of his class.

Our first spring house dance will be held April 2nd with a French Quarter theme.

We expect the decorations and attractive costumes of both men and women will help make the dance one of the finest of the year.

Our second and probably biggest event, the annual Spring Carnival, wiii be held Saturday night, April 9 in the armory. We have combined our talents with those of the girls from Presbyterian Hall and hope to capture first place honors for the best show. Our theme is entitled "The Complete Strip." However, the inside of the show wiii be a little different from what the theme infers, a pantomime of the comic strip, under our title, Little Bahner and Daisy Fay. The week-end of March 19th found eight Pi Kapps from our chapter visiting Omega at Purdue. The event was the annual district conclave with Omega, Upsilon, Alpha Phi and Alpha Psi attending.

The week end proved very profitable for us and, undoubtedly, for the other three chapters in the district. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Omega for their fine hospitality and for a very worthwhile conclave.

The opening of the spring semester f~ Alpha Chi was a sad one. With prict soaring and a housing shortage predoJII· inant, we decided to give up our universitl rented fraternity house. Through the he4 of the brothers and our strong and symp$ thetic alumni, we hope to establish a nef home, and have fond dreams of being we settled there before the fall term.

With this weighty problem resting upo~ our shoulders, the newly elected officer. are striving to keep our heads above th "blue waters of Biscayne Bay." The~ officers are: Straton Klements, archon· Kenneth Nolon, treasurer; Bob Gravdah1 secretary; Charlie Behrens, chaplain; J3il' Jaeger, warden; and Johnny Bordernan historian. With these fine men at th1 helm, we feel confident we'll go plact; on the University of Miami campus.

The rituals of initiation were performe~ on six new brothers in the "quaint villa' of Brothers O'Mara and Bordeman. N° need of secrecy was attempted, not becaU~ of ignorance, but because of the distancf of the "villa" from civilization. Brother. .J Bordeman and O'Mara have been accuscv of wrestling alligators and trading "bead; and wampam" with the Seminole Indian' The new initiates are: Dick McElvain and Bud Feldmeyer, Rochester, N. Y., Scott) Holmes, Marblehead, Mass., Forrest P~ Rues, Winter Haven, Fla., Bob Kresgl Miami, Fla., and Leo Furlong, Charleston S. C. Our intramural activities have been rei· atively successful so far. The new, blul T -shirts of the players boosted our morall considerably, and they faced the tougheSI competition with true Pi Kapp stamina Alpha Chi was in fourth place as the sen· son drew to a close. Kenny Nolon, Bot Parent and a couple of others gave their all to this sport. Our old reliable five: "Lank" McElvain, "Speedy" Feldmeyer· "Ace" Adams, Bob Gravdahl, and Jacki Raudenbush kept the name of Pi KaPil' Phi up in front in basketball and voJleY: ball. Other brothers gave their mor~' support and wholly appreciated the wor~ and time these men sacrificed for our chapter.

A period of two wee~s was set aside fo; rushing. With hard work, friendliness, an good chapter cooperation, we succeeded jo getting eight very fine pledges.

Student politics are getting hot with the pledges carrying the ball. Pete Covington, secretary-treasurer of the pledge class, has announced his candidacy for cheerleader and Joe Stringer is running for president of the junior class. Most of the present actives are ineligible, since 13 men will be graduated in June or August. We will hold a formal initiation before the end of school to replenish our ranks.

In the intra-mural basketball tournament we reached the finals before elimination in the final play-off. Brother J obn Jefferies made the varsity tennis team. The fraternity softball team is now working out for the intra-mural tournament which starts soon.

Following the dance, we were hosts to an all campus jam session; the music could be heard as far as the dormitory, and everyone, no matter where he was, was able to enjoy it. On the whole we might say that our house withstood tho baptism of fire quite well, and Alpha Psi was launched nicely on a social career.

More recent events include visiting Omega Chapter on March 19, 1949. Omega played hosts to the second annual district conclave, and they did a fine job. We were all sorry when time came to leave Omega and Purdue, and will be happy to welcome all chapters in the district here next spring.

We feel that these conclaves mean a lot to the chapters. We get a lot accomplished and are looking forward to next year.

For the second semester of the school year, some very able boys were elected to office. They are: Dick Tyson, archon; John Fierst, treasurer; Dave Bibler, secretary; L. D. Trent, chaplain; John M. Akey, warden; Clay Williams, steward; Gene Clark, houSe manager; and Bob Haller, historian.

At the start of the semester we initiated seven men, and pledged five more. Those whom we are happy to welcome as actives are: Bill Engle, Lyle Aamoth, Gerald (Levi) Stinson, Wally Hutton, John Poe, Burr Eastridge, and Bob Jenkins. At the start of the term, and before these boys were activated, the pledge class gave the actives a dance in the chapter house. It was a masquerade record dance, and a good time was had by all.

Five men were pledged the beginning of the semester: Jim Keller, Chicago; Bill (Flash) Yagle, Washington, D. C.; Bob Wood, Rensaller, Ind.; Bob Thompson, Gary, Ind., and John Crawford,_ Winimac, Ind. Speaking of dances, we held our first big dance in our new house last fall in commemoration of Founders Day. The theme was "Roses In December," and we might modestly say that it was a huge success.

With the completion of the major repairs and improvements to our house late in January, the time was ripe for some sort of a house warming. Our contact man.

Brother Willie Schlosser, became the center of attraction as he wore a constant path to and from the local telephone booth making arrangements for the affair.

Through Willie's efforts, a gala party wae held at the house on January 28, 1949.
