our. program, a questiormaire was sent to many of the chapters visited this spring. Here is a report upon the findings:

W. Bernard Jones, Jr.

WHETHER alumni or undergraduate, you may have been slightly curious at one time or another about chapter visitations from Central Office. You may have wondered bow the program is organized; how the various phases of chapter operation are covered; and how the Traveling Counselor is briefed and trained for the job of servicing Pi Kappa Phi's 44 chapters.

We are attempting to give Pi Kappa Phi its finest visitation program.

To do so, a very definite and well planned approach is essential. To this end, the following phases of chapter operation have felt the brunt of our energies.

1. Ritualistic Procedures.

2. Pledge Training.

3. Scholarship control.

4. Budgetary Control System.

5. Rushing Techniques.

6. Housing program.

7. Chapter News Sheets. s'ince the length and number of the visitations are limited because of limited travel funds, it is not always possible to cover tlie above points as thoroughly as they might be. Even more of a problem is the fact that visitations are necessarily so infrequent as to make it difficult to follow through on corrective measures instituted or suggested at the time of the preceding visit. However, that we might know the weaknesses of

can build houses. This is the most frequent topic of discussion with the chapters which do not have houses.

You will find that some of the chapters are afraid to get out and do some work towards getting a house.

They would be happy if someone gave them a mansion already furnished (who wouldn't)? Impress upon them that all chapters which now own houses worked for them and got them without the help of the "good Fairy."

"Work hard on the regalia • program. They will not buy any of the chapter robes if they do not have the excess funds. And to have excess funds is an impossibility, therefore they say, 'no robes '. This is a dilly of a problem and unfortunately I can give you no suggestion other than your trying to get them to buy a robe at a time. " You will find 'that the stronger a chapter is, the more receptive it is to criticism. They want you to find fault and to suggest other ways of doing things. On the other hand , those chapters which are weak will be slightly resentful of your program of suggestions and correction .

This is where you must be subtle in your approach. I found the best man-

ner in which to present a suggestion is to give it as another chapter's way of handling the problem. For example: "At .... Chapter they found that .... " This is swallowed more readily than a dogmatic statement of fact. In my opinion, the Traveling Counselor is a liason officer between the chapters. He carries ideas from one chapter to another and through him each of our chapters is helping the other ones.

"I have left my report outline in the basket for you. You can find a copy of all my reports in the Chapter files. I suggest you read them to find out what corrections or suggestions I made and follow ·them up. If you find that I made a wrong decision in a case and the suggested solution to their problem is not working, give them another suggestion.

"It is a good idea to get yourself a diary and to fill out the pages with the name of the place where you shall be on that date. Also list the officers' names on the page and study them before you arrive so that you will recognize a name when you hear it in the introductions ~ "In your diary, it would be a good idea to paste one of the directories out of the STAR AND LAMP. If

you do that you won't have to ct ~ down addresses. Also list the na/ f.J. of the chapter advisers and the trict archons along with their dresses. It might be a good idea request a schedule of vacations 'il,ti exams during the year so that .'-J.f! will have something to go on a . · forehand and so you won't sche~ :~~c a visit at the wrong time.

WHY is the chapter paper important? A House paper is probably one of the most important functions of the active chapter of the fraternity. To be strong on a college campus we must have the backing and the support of the alumni. There is, perhaps, no better way of keeping our alumni interested in us than through news of the chapter - the chapter paper. Too, by mailing editions to other colleges and universities ideas are exchanged. One's prestige on campus is strengthened when other fraternities learn that Pi Kappa Phi chapters publish .their own papers for their alumni and other active chapters.

WHEN? The paper should be published at least three times a year, more if possible. Beware of printing

Into the picture, too, with equal pride comes Alpha Omicron at l·owa State College, which for so many years stood alone as Pi Kappa Phi's sole representative in the midwest. She now is surrounded by a growing fa m i I y of Pi Kappa Phi chapters and is ready to take on all comers.

pi KAPPA PHI now has a second undergraduate chapter in the State of Iowa. The new chapter, Beta Delta at Drake University in Des Moines, its capital city, is almost a next door neighbor to Alpha Omicron at Iowa State College. It was officially installed Sunday afternoon, April 24. The ceremony was held in the lounge of the Administration Building at Drake University.

On March 5, Alpha Omicron Chapter initiated sixteen pledges and three transfers of the Drake Colony as charter members of Beta Delta.

On Friday, April 22, the Alpha Omicron team journeyed to Des Moines to initiate an additional two men.

rltted4 rl~e~tetal rltum~U B~

By Dick Fiscus, Gamma

ALUMNI, actives, and pledges of Gamma flocked to San Francisco to honor Theodore B. Kelly, founder of Gamma, on the night of April 20th.

The occasion was Gamma's Annual Alumni Banquet held again th is year at the New Tivoli Restaurant in San Francisco's famed International Settlement. Too, Ted Kelly had returned to Gamma after many years absence.

Times have changed since Ted Kelly made a visit to California in 1907 and decided to attend U. C. at Berkley, then a school of some 5,000 students. (On June 17th the graduating class was over 8,000.)

Yes, 42 years have slipped by and Gamma is no longer a group of 17 men, mostly engineers or science majors living on $250.00 a year, but Pi Kappa Phi's Chapter at California has grown to a group of some 50 men with a variety of majors with the living cost, needless to say, slightly .higher. The million dollar Hearst Gymnasium for Women replaces the waving wheat fields that Ted Kelly remembers so well opposite the present Chapter House.

Jim Hamilton, '23, Gamma Alumni Adviser, arose to introduce the guest of honor. He spoke of the privilege of speaking-and sitting there in the spirit of fraternal fellowship.

"Ted had the idea." In mass the alumni, actives, and pledges, the men of Pi Kappa Phi 1908-1953, gave the Founder of Gamma a standing ovation.

"Forty years ago a little group of men started to form a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, thousands of miles west of the home chapter-this turnout tonight is almost unbelievable, and not much credit is due me," said Kelly modestly. "The credit goes to Dimmler, Fraser, Seligman, Long, Hugo, Matthews, Armstrong, Gerson, and all those who followed. Dave Hardy carried on the work along with Jim Hamilton and Boyd Oliver."

Telegrams of best wishes were read before Archon Lloyd Heger introduced R. Eugene Kraber, National Traveling Counselor. Kraber announced the plans for Pi Kapp expansion and welcomed Beta Delta

Notional Council of Pi Kappa Phi Meeting at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, June 11-12. Left to right : W. Jones, Jr., Executive Secretory; Theron A. Houser, Notional Chancellor; John W. Deimler, Notional Treasurer; Howard D. Leake, President; J. AI Head, Notional Secretory; and Frederick Grim, Notional Historian.

THERE is something very unusual about a meeting of the executive group of an organization like Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. 'Tis, in a sense, neither "fish nor fowl". 'Tis neither quite purely social nor quite purely business, 'Tis that rare combination of business accomplishment and good fellowship. The meeting held at the John Marshall hotel in Richmond over the week end of June 1112 was no exception. A hard hitting business program was combined with a wholely' successful, though spontaneous, social program to make the session a very lively one.

The liveliness of the 19 50 convention site issue precipitated its being pulled out of the middle of the agenda and placed at the head thereof.

Leading contenders for the host role were Roanoke, Virginia and Portland, Oregon. After careful deliberation, the National Council confirmed the expressed wish of the 1948 convention assemblage and selected Portland . The convention is to be held Aug. 23, 24, 25 and 26, 1950.

A review of the expansion program took an important place in the meeting. The Council reviewed, with pardonable pride, the program of the 1948-49 school year. Organizations were installed at Florida Southern College, .The University of Louisville, The Univ~rsity of Nebraska, Drake University, The University of Missouri, The University of Mississippi, and Cornell University; making a total of 44 active undergraduate chapters. Following the mandate ol the Twenty-Second Supreme Chapter, the Council instructed the Executive Secretary to continue the extensive expansion program.

The Council handled many routine matters not worthy of detailed note here. The Central Office tentative itinerary for the 1949-50 school year was reviewed and approved.

The budget proposal for that period was reviewed and approved.

A comprehensive report by National Historian Grim was concluded with the selection of Alpha Iota's

chapter publication, The Alota, winner of the President's award for the 1948-49 year.

Recognition for effort (three or more editions) go to THE ALMICRON; Omega's OMEGALITE; ALPHA TAUX, published by Alpha Tau chapter; UPSILON UPS, Upsilon's publication; Epsilon's THE EPSILONIAN; and THE GAMMAZETTE, published by Gamma.

Two editions of THE DOUBLE BETA BLAST, published by Beta Beta at Florida Southern College,

were particularly well done for a chapter which was only installed last November. At this writing Beta Beta is not quite a year old. If the two editions they submitted are a sample of what we are to expect in the future from this young chapter let other aspirants be forewarned.'

A total of forty-six editions were received in all, the greatest number ~ver produced by the chapters. It 1s the expressed belief that the coming year should bring an even greater number of editions.

National President Howard D. Leake will present the winning chapter with the "President's Plaque" at a District Conclave to be held at Auburn, Alabama in October.

Service"

By Frederick Grim, National Historian

Theron A. Houser, Zeta, National Chancellor

National Chancellor Theron A. Houser, Zeta, (pictured above) is completing his 15th year as a member of the National Council. He succeeded Albert W. Meisel, the first National ChanceJlor of Pi Kappa Phi when he was elected to the Council in 1934, and has served faithfully and most efficiently since that time.

His present tenure in office will expire in August, 1950.

Brother Houser's record of service, on the council, has never been equalled by any Pi Kapp. He has never been absent from a council meeting and has given thousands of opinions on our Constitution and Supreme Laws. He has never had an opinion countermanded by the council or a Supreme Chapter.

When Pi Kappa Phi was founded on December 10, 1904 " Ted" Houser was the ripe old age of 7 months and 2 days. Having seen the light of the southern skies on May 8, 1904, A.D., he spent his early years in the task of growing up. This birth and evolution to manhood took place in St. Matthews, South Carolina and the better part of his life bas been spent there.

After finishing high school, he entered Wofford College where he was initiated into Zeta chapter. He received his B.A. degree in 1924, and he then entered law school of the University of South Carolina where he received his L.L.B. degree.

Brother Houser was serving as

~

"Portrait

District Archon when he was elected to the National Council. During this position he organized the dozen or so Pi Kapps in St. Matthews into an alumni chapter. It is the only alumni chapter that can show a one hundred per cent membership and a one hundred per cent of subscribers to the "Voluntary Dues Fund."

To his intimates Brother Houser is known variously as "Ted" or "Bill." As you might expect, his activities are not confined to the fraternity. He was City solicitor of St. Matthews and is now its Mayor.

Brother Houser married the former Miss Hattie Marshall Ford of Dothan, Alabama. They have a charming daughter, Myra Kennerly, who attended her first National Convention in Birmingham, Ala., the summer of 1946. Ted's family has always added grace and charm to many Pi Kapp affairs.

In addition to his law practice at St. Matthews, the National Chancellor operates a farm where he can be found dispensing cotton, oats, corn , hogs and opinions on the Constitution and Supreme Laws of Pi Kappa Phi. We know that the day is fast approaching when "Ted" will lay down the duties of his office, perchance for "higher things" or a rest from official duties, but regardless of his future path it was felt that the Brethren would like to know and honor this portrait of service to our beloved Pi Kappa Phi.

Pi Kapp Writes Life of "Florida's Flagler" "Florida's Flagler," by Dr. Sidney Walter Martin, Delta, a biography of the near-legendary man who gave his life and fortune to the development of the State of Florida, was released by the University of Georgia Press April 7.

This book, the first authentic biography of Flagler, who died in 1913 , traces his life from his youth through his early dealings in grain, his association with John D. Ro~efeller, and his later activities in Florida.

The major part of the work treats his role as promoter of Florida.

S. Wolter Martin, Delta

Brother Martin, a native of Tifton, Ga., also wrote "Florida During Territorial Days." He bas been a member of the University of Georgia history faculty for 14 years. He holds an A. B. degree from Furman University, an M. A. from Georgia, and his Ph. D. from North Carolina.

The jacket of the. book, done in red, white, and black and featuring a profile of Flagler, was designed by David Norman, of Homerville, Ga., in a contest sponsored by the University of Georgia's art department class in commercial design.

Until just recently Brother Martin was chapter adviser of Lambda chapter.

Wooten Auction Attracts National Interest

"Wooton" th e estate of the late George 路 W. Childs Drexe l, Alpha Upsilon, Philadelphia philanthropist.

On authority of the executors of the estate of the late George W. Childs Drexel, Alpha Upsilon, the valuable furnishings, art collection, and precious stones belonging to his estate were sold at public auction in May. The will, which directed that the proceeds of the sale were to be used to establish two endowment funds at Drexel Institute of Technology, prohibited the use of the funds for the purchase of land or erection of new buildings.

The auction, reported at some length in the public press, was conducted in proper order and was considered eminently successful by both the firm of auctioneers and Drexel Institute officials. The total realized was 20% greater than had been anticipated. In addition, the Drexel Student War Memorial Fund, inaugurated in 1946, was $3 100 richer because of an arrangement whereby individuals were charged a nomimal sum when visiting the exhibition or the auction.

The jewelry, attracting natio~11 interest, was sold before enthusiS: groups who- while not matching figure paid originally by member! the Drexel family- again exc the auction price estimated bY agents.

It was felt by unofficial obsel'l that, at Wooton, the Bryn l\l Pennsylvania home of the late G. Childs Drexel, and at the sale of jewelry, a number of sales were n> to persons whose primary in.te was in the Drexel family assoctB1 with the articles rather than in tt material value.

George W. Childs Drexel was tiated into Alpha Upsilon chapte; an alumnus on December 6, 1 the same day that another meo1 of the philanthropic Philade~ family, Anthony Joseph Drexel was initiated. George W. 0 Drexel died in September 1944 the age of seventy-six. He was : vived by his wife who has died 51 that time.

Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl Retires as Archon of District 10

R Jan Jun

Dr. Sholl's service to Alpha Theta has been beyond the call of duty, of the variety that cannot be purchased for money - that intangible essence so often taken for granted, yet more often than not when taken away, so poignantly missed.

The fraternity is indebted to George Howard , Epsilon, Professor路 of Education at the University of Alabama, who attended the 1912 Convention and ran across the picture last year. The last names only of the men appeared in pencil on the back of the snapshot.

Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl, Alpha Theta, Archon of District X for the past three years, has retired after rendering the greatest assistance and service to the Michigan State Chapter, the only undergraduate ch~;tpter in District X. In turning over the District Archon reins, Dr. Sholl did not retire from the local Pi Kapp scene. You will find him most any time with his head together with Chap,ter Adviser Stanley S. Radford , cooking up little schemes for the palate of Alpha Theta. They are the big wheels at Michigan State Coll ege which are steadily grinding in Alpha Theta's favor.

Dr. Sholl 's guardianship of Alpha Theta began back in 1927 when be was initiated into the Mich igan State

chapter. At the same time he was appointed chapter adviser. His stewardship lasted until 1946 when he was called to fill the vacant district archon post. Professor Stanley S. Radford, Alpha Theta, stepped in to fill the gap as chapter adviser which Dr. Sholl vacated. Alpha Theta is a most fortunate chapter to have two such able men as Dr. Sholl and Professor Radford as guardian angels.

He and Professor Radford held long conferences. with the Detroit alumni.

The end result was the development of a sound system of financing for Alpha Theta which has worked out greatly to its advantage.

Through the combined efforts of Dr. Sholl , Professor Radford , and the alumni, two beautiful and choice lots owned by Alpha Theta were sold on a high market. The sale of the lots netted the chapter the surplus neederl

the story of the Nativity, published at Christmas time in 194 7, and the next Easter, a series giving the story of the Passion. These were praised by clergymen and members of the laity.

Johnson is short, stocky, dark of complexion, with deep brown eyes and black hair. His face, with prominent nose, is most mobile. He smiles all over it, but in moments of concentration he scowls terrifyingly.

One of his small constant habits is to chew the butt end of a pencil when he types. Occasionally he substitutes a cigar for the pencil, though mostly and frequently he smokes cigarettes.

He has his own set of stock phrases, including one often repeated, always with a devout look: "I wish I had a hundred million dollars- tax free!"

Johnson married Miss Ludie Adams, also a native of Georgia, on December 4, 192 8.. Their children are Haynes Bonner Johnson, Sarah Montie Johnson, Michael Bolding Johnson and Paul Adams Johnson.

Paul was born a month before he received the Pulitzer prize. ·There was worthy competition this year for the prize. Johnson had made a characteristic effort to keep his expectations from rising too high, bad kept telling himself that nomination was far from election. The word that he was winner was really a surprise to him.

Glowing though he was, be told the man who was to write about his achievement, "Look, I worked hard on the stories-sure. But I had luck, too. I've worked hard on other stories, and fallen flat on my face. The woods - r really mean this - the woods are full of reporters who could do as good a job."

Johnson, usually an accurate newspaper man, there fell into an error.

The University of Missouri (Continued from Pug<' 10)

often called the most beautiful piece of Gothic architecture m America.

And under the administration of President Frederick A. Middlebu£h, who took office in 1935, the University has undergone considerable expansion both in its physical plant a:nd in its student body. It has come through another World War with an exemplary record of war service and has become one of the real leaders in the education of war veterans. Ar the same time it made every effort to pqJVide adequate facilities for the State's current high school graduates.

The University's ten schools and colleges, including the School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rollo, Missouri, is governed by a Board of Curators, the nine members of which are appointed by the Governor and approved by the Legislature.

The fall of 194 7 saw more than 400 temporary buildings constructed on the Columbia campus anr.l 39

erected at Rollo to house the Jar~ veteran enrollment. The GI studer made up three-fourths of thi! tot· enrollment at Columbia and a Jafl er percentage of the enrollment Rolla.

in the year 1881, which reads as follows: " This university has been designed upon a broad, liberal and modern basis. The articles of incorporation provide that all its departments and immunities shall be opened to all without distinction to sex, ;eligion,

or race. In its management and influence it will aim at being Christian, without being sectarian."

At its opening the university included the following departments: college of liberal arts, then called the " literary department"; college of the Bible; conservatory of music, reorganized in 1909 as the college of fine arts; the commercial school, a nd the academy. Affiliated with the un iversity at that time were the Iowa College of Law and the College of Medicine. Both later became integral colleges of the university. The latter, however, was discontinued in 191 3.

The commercial school and the academy likewise were discontinued.

The second college to be added to the university's original organization was the college of education, established as such in 1908. The college of commerce and finance was organized in 1923 after previous existence as a department and school.

A graduate division was formed in 1936 and in 1939 the college of pharmacy was added to the university when th e Des Moines College of Pharmacy was moved to the campus.

Thus, at present, the university is composed of the following: College of the Bible ; College of Commerce and Finance ; College of Education; College of Fine Arts ; College of Liberal Arts; College of Pharmacy; Law School ; Community College; and Graduate Division.

Drake is located in northwest Des Moines in the area known as University Place. The campus covers an area about three blocks long and two blocks wide.

Recently opened were two buildings considered the ultimate in collegiate architecture. These are the Harvey Ingham Hall of Science and the Fitch Hall of Pharmacy, built and equipped at a cost of about $1,400,000. Other buildings to be constructed in the next year are a three-unit dormitory and a liberal arts-journalism building.

Enrollment the current semester is just slightly under 4,000, with another 1,500 students attending evening and Saturday classes.

The Drake Relays, founded in 1910 by the late Major John L. 33

Griffith, are held the last Friday and Saturday in April each year. T hey have become "America's Athletic Classic" and annually attract the cream of America's coll egiate track athletes.

There are eight national fraternities on the campus; Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Theta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsil on, Alpha Epsilon P i, Alpha Phi Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi. There also are seven national sororities: Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Mu.
