EDITORIAL-

''Shall I

Volunteer?''

Tf!E e~itorial for ~his issue o~ the Star and Lamp IS wntten by a PI Kappa Pht alumnus who wishes to remain anonymous. He is the wearer of five battle stars, a bronze arrow for making a beachhead under fire, and the Bronze Star Medal, for his action in the Philippines and Korea in World War II. In the following story he expresses what he thinks of college men volunteering. " 'I want to join the Armed Services now so that I can get a good assignment.' Thus saith the man with a hole in his head. Brother! When general mobilization comes, you get ahead so fast that you wake up one morning commanding a company and don't know what the hell to do with it. " 'Swivel chair jobs! All those guys who made touchdowns for Army and Navy during the last war done got them. What they ain't got, the fellows who stayed in after World War II is. Not that I'm begrudgin' 'em, you understand. "'I may as well join now. They'll get me anyway.'

Thus quoth the man who was under fire from Pop for his lousy grades. Don't disillusion that guy. Unc' needs him, so let him dash off, out of range of Pop's scolding and into the field of fire of a 30 calibre machine gun-some swap, Pal. "Yeah, I guess you are right. They might get you anyway. But Brother, you'll sho' be glad them guys spent that rough first six months on that rock ahead of Y_OU. You know, somehow, equipment, eggs (the real kmd, I mean), and clothes never seem to git to place where they is fightin ' 'til the fight is dern near over. And Brother, that's just the time I wanna git there (when the food and clothes gits there that .) ' IS. "'Well, you fellows, lock the front door of the fraternity house, wrap your mortgage in moth balls give the key to the Chapter Adviser (he won't b~ rushing off, you notice) , farm out your poor old housemother to her naggin ' step-mother, and rush off in a blaze of patriotism-or poor grades. "' Git that rock free of Reds, git the quarters deloused, git some red meat coming in on the chow trucks, and I 'll be along to help you with one of Great Man MacArthur's "Mop up" campaigns- you know, the kind where more people gits killed "moppin' up" than they does in the battle itself. " 'They'll send for ya when they need ya.' "

Fourth, a sense of relation-

ships, of harmony, such as the relationships of duty and desire.

It may be your duty to remain in a laboratory, a nameless link in a vast chain of research ; it may be your desire to rush to your nearest recruiting office.

It may be your duty to do some seemingly meaningless task in a far-away country, when perhaps your one desire is to paint or to teach- to try your hand in politics or merely to cultivate your own garden, to reconcile these two is to give yourself a weapon that will give you confidence in a future.

Education Is Continuous If your pleasant college years are interrupted, remember that true education is a life-long and gradual revelation of the good life-primarily of the mind, but also of the spirit and body. If an interruption becomes necessary- and we must accept and support the decision of our country in this matter- use this interlude to the best advantage. That process whic~ is slowed momentarily may have an even deeper meanmg when resumed at full speed.

If it should become your task to save civilization (and civilization is not gadgets and machines, but the minds and souls of men) , men of self-control, of integrity will be essential in all po~ts. Your immedi~te task, therefore, is to use every ava1!a~le means to bmld your personal defense, thereby bmldmg a strong continuous defense.

Dr. Edington Receives Award, Gives Advice at Con~lave

BY GEORGE WALKER, Upsilon Recording Secretary

DR. WILL E. Edington, Upsilon, who for the past

2 5 year'S has been scholarship chairman for Pi Kappa Phi, was presented a plaque in recognition of his service to the fraternity when District XI held its Conclave in Champaign-Urbana in March (See cover).

Dr. Edington is a professor at DePauw University.

W. Bernard Jones, Jr. , executive secretary , mad e the presentation, commenting that Dr. Edington's "trade mark " of " In the Interest of Pi Kappa Phi '' was well earned by his active and loyal service to the organization.

In his address to the delegates, Dr . Edington told the men that today even a Master's degree means little in the business world. " It 's what you've actually learned that counts." He included the armed services as a business.

Must Have ''Know-How" Edington said that to go places in business, men must have the '' know-how ". They must be able to think and learn quickly. " The day· of the college playboy is gone," Edington concluded.

Another outstanding moment for the delegates came later the same evening as they attended a "strictly Pi Kapp" dance in the University's Club Commons.

All of the men had dates! Upsilon's social chairman, Jerry Rezpecki, had gone " nuts" for two weeks rounding up 150 dates.

Rushing Procedure The general discussion on rushing, led by Jones, revealed that rushees must be shown " proof of the

tangible evidence" that Pi Kappa Phi should be wei choice.

"Show the rushees specifically what you ~r doing. Don't talk in generalities," Jones said. Point reason, example, and close. This four-point plan wa· brought out by Jones in showing how to ask a rush~ to pledge. " First, tell why you need him and he need you. Second, give your reasons for it. Third, folloW u with concrete examples. Last, well, you know," coP eluded Jones.

Jones warned that the chapter archon can't do all. " He must have the backing of the entire chaptf to enforce the house policy, " Jones declared .

Sunday morning's session centered around budge! and financial procedure. Jack Simpson, Upsilon archon. told the budgeting procedure used in his ch.3f ter. "The work." said Simpson. " is done entirely w1t in the chapter. No outside auditors are used."

Enforce Collections " Don't let delinquent accounts run over," Jo~1 stressed. "By enforcing collections you have everyth1r to gain and nothing to lose. " Dick Zoble, Omega's archon, told the group tt value of using robes and the prescribed procedure ~r chapter meetings. Zoble urged using Robert's "RU' of Order.'' By adhering strictly to proper procedur "you gain unity and solidarity," Zoble concluded . . I Pi Kapp song books were awarded to Roy Hell1 Alpha Theta Dave Rogers, Upsilon, and Otto Bou Upsilon, for 'their outstanding participation in dis~ 1r sions on rushing, pledge training, and house polt' respectively.

Next year's district XI conclave will be in Is February or early March with Alpha Phi of II'f the host chapter.

rather than a yearly control. He advised the chapter treasurers to get tough with delinquent accounts.

An example of a model meeting was shown, with Mr. Jones acting as archon, Ralph Snider as treasurer, and Jack Steward as secretary. Procedure of the formal pledging ceremonies was demonstrated by Mr. Jones, who took the part of the archon, and Don Blinco and August Giering, as the pledges. The same group demonstrated the correct procedure for the formal notification of admission to membership.

Jack Steward, Alpha Zeta, and former national traveling counselor, spoke on pledge training. He advised the chapters to follow the pledge program out .. lined in the pledge manual. During the open discussion of pledge training problems, it was suggested that: The pledges operate as a group as much as possible with group projects ; a constant exchange of information between the membership and pledge class be maintained through the pledge warden; the paddle as a form of punishment be used with discretion.

DRAKE S BETA DELTA ENTERTAINS XIV 1

BY DALE JENSEN, Beta Delta Secretory

BETA Delta, Drake University, was host to the Pi Kappa Phi chapters from Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa at the District XIV Conclave February 25-26.

Harold A. Cowles, district archon, opened the conclave, and W. Bernard Jones, Jr. , executive secretary, led the discussions.

• Mr. Jones emphasized the importance of adhering to certain fundamental rushing rules and quizzed representatives from each chapter on the subject, bringing out the following points: Actives and pledges should know what they are going to say before the actual rushing party begins ; that is, the selling points of the chapter. Prospect should be asked to come back for a definite date in the near future. Arrange for someone in the chapter to pick up the man for the rushing party. Each member of the chapter should have suitable answers for the rushee on the subjects of finances, social affairs, athletic events, and scholarship.

A mock executive committee meeting dealt with problems facing the chapters in this district, problems involving pledges who do not do their work, and actives who fail to take an interest in the group and fail to be present at major functions of the fraternity.

Organizational control was discussed also.

The executive secretary brought up points pertaining to the pledge's place in th~ frater~ity, s~ch as the work he is expected to do, hts part m rushmg for the fraternity, and pledge projects that bring the class closer together.

The time and place committee chairman, Lee Rusnok of Beta Delta, reported that the next Officers' Training School will be held at Nu Chapter, University of Nebraska, next year.

Beauties of Out-Door Area Attract Many Visitors ,

BY ERNEST E. FISCHER, Alpha Zeta Curator, Hoyt Arboretum Portland, Oregon

HOY'f Arboretum in Portland, Ore., a woodland area of magnificent trees and beautiful shrubs and flowers, is the mecca for hundreds of visitors every year. E stablished in 1931, it has grown from 120 to 145 acres.

In 1940, while the arboretum was in its first stages of development, it was my privilege to become its curator.

We have no great expanse of greensward dotted with specimen trees, but instead there are huge, towering Douglas firs and other native trees, and it is among these existing trees that our specimens are planted.

Also, to aid in giving the arboretum a naturalistic appearance, most of the native hemlocks, cedars, dogwoods, and many other trees and shrubs have been preserved in their native habitat. The numerous wild flowers and ferns have been left undisturbed, and much shrubbery has been brought from the nearby mountains to augment the existing flora.

The arboretum now ranks high among other arboreta in the country and possesses the largest collection of needle-bearing trees to be found in any arboretum or botanical garden in the entire nation.

Rare Tree Grows Here

One tree of which we are especially proud is a "dawn redwood'' or metasequoia glyptostroboides which we grew from a seed which we received from the Arnold Arboretum at Boston, Mass. Although related to our native sequoias, the metasequoia sheds its needles annually. Lost to civilization for approximately 50 million years, the tree was discovered in 1948, growing in a remote valley in China to which place an expedition was sent to obtain seeds.

During the war, when gasoline was rationed, many people ''discovered" the arboretum. It is now visited by out-door groups, such as Boy and Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, hikers' clubs, and many who are just lovers of trees. Horseback riders enjoy its trails.

Cars are permitted on roads, but many visitors are disappointed to learn that they cannot "see'' the trees while riding at 2 5 miles an hour.

Hobby Is Wild Flowers My hobby is collecting wild flowers which I transplant from the mountains and deserts to the arboretum for future generations to enjoy.

ADDRESSING a Founders' Day celebration of · L te.

~e Atlanta Alumni Chapter in December, Founder ~rry Mixson got to the real bedrock of fra-

Wi~f~!Isrn. Posterity will cling to these words which

light Ind t~emselves immortal in years to come. Highs of hts address are as follows: th;'1here. is one prevalent misconception regarding set o~ndtng of Pi Kappa Phi that I would like to Pi X'Ight. Many like to think that we founders of Wh bPPa Phi 'vere possessed of occult powers, zat:re Y we were able to conceive of a vast organico~fn from the foundation of the fraternity. To the ab·rrary, we were not endowed with any psychical an~ Ity to gaze into a crystal ball, to foresee the future, ho to be guided accordingly. While we had high th~te~ for Pi Kappa Phi, we had not the slightest idea it i It Would grow into the great organization which s today .•.

Debt to College

''p·1

Ch

Kappa Phi owes much to the College of fie3rlest~n where it was founded. Venerable, digniUnc' dehghting in her traditions, unwavering and alw ornpromising in her requirements, the college has lateays been slow to act, to make the decisions which Lat! generations hail as visionary. My professor of one In at the old college, Thomas della Torre, remarked on 'tday that the old building should have inscribed arc I ~he words of Horace: 'Odi profanum vulgus et thr eo. (This is no place for the noise of foolish in ongs.) And, so, in the early days of the fraternity, con ~ccordance with the aplomb of the college, we tions~dered every action carefully, debated every moofte ully. Our early meetings were replete with dignity, carrr 0 the point of being absurd, but they were orga e. on with a decorum found in few other ntzations . .

a democratic base, Pi Kappa Phi was have ed on the right principles. While we always choos a~d I hope always will allow each chapter to Or' tnan ~ Its ~wn membership, once within a chapter a ~eed ~ beginIs. subJect to the will of the majority. From the rs D tuu0 ntng the fraternity has been a Christian insti~5~ t 'I'Ve f n. I am not trying to give the impression that 1 frate~u~~ers were overly pious. Along with the other 5 tt ntttes of that day, we had our share of beer L,4

parties. Nor were all of us of the same religious faith.

One of us was a Roman Catholic, another an Episcopalian and a third was Lutheran, but we were all able t~ meet on the broad foundation of Christianity.

Basis For Success 'l'he success of Pi Kappa Phi can be attributed to two things. From the first it was based on the right pripciples but in that respect it was no different from cou~tless other organizations with high principles. Other organizations before and since have made brave starts with high-sounding motives, but many of them have failed. There is a very definite reason why Pi Kappa Phi did not fail. After the influence of ~he founding group was over and the mantle of authority had passed from our shoulders, a steady stream of noble men followed on whose shoulders that mantle fitted and who were willing to carry the torch. Immediately after we established other chapters, those new chapters produced men who took over the leadership with a zeal, fervor, and .ability unexcelled in the history of any other fraternity . . .

"One of the things which I like especially about Pi Kappa Phi is that while _it is still young ~nough to be vigorous, it is old enough to have attatned a large degree of stability. Pi Kappa Phi has withstood two World Wars one major and several minor . depressions. True,' these catastrophies caused tension in our organization, but the brothers have had the necessary ability and stamina to overcome these threats. Tonight, as I speak to you, anothe~ World War is gravely imminent. If it. do~s co?le, Pt Kappa Phi on the national level will gtrd Its loins and adJust itself economically. On the chapter level, some chap· ters will be forced to close temporarily, and others will operate on a skeleton basis. On the individual level each and every brother will do his duty as a Christian n1an and loyal American who values truth and honor above all . . .

Fraternal Rewards "Pi Kappa Phi has given to me something far above riches. It has given friendships that are priceless and experiences that are heartwarming. I am sure that it has done the same for many others. I know men who glory in Pi Kappa Phi and in its work. 1 have

seen them at every Pi Kappa Phi gathering, and I see them here tonight. The reward of these men is not financial or social; their reward is the feeling of Christian comradeship resulting from a meeting of human hearts on an unselfish level. Pi Kappa Phi gives primacy to the spiritual values of life rather than the material values . . .

"What is the cost of membership in Pi Kappa Phi? Of course chapter members pay their initiation fee and chapter dues, and alumni contribute money for worthy causes, but one's monetary responsibilty is only a small part of his duty. There is a higher price which one has to pay, a deeper responsibility which one has to discharge. Each member has been given privileges and benefits under Pi Kappa Phi which cannot be purchased or discharged by money alone.

How can these obligations be repaid? The answer is simple. Let me read from the Constitution:

"'This Fraternity is and shall be a secret fraternal organization whose purpose and aim shall be to promote fellowship and mutual trust among its members; to uphold the traditions of colleges where its chapters are located; to encourage excellence in scholarship; and to inculcate in its members the highest ideals of Christian manhood and good citizenship.'

'Need I say more? Each member of Pi Kappa Phi should honestly ask himself whether he is worthy of membership in the brotherhood, whether he is enga~ed in carrying out her noble purposes

Sacred Values "In the world chaos around us tonight, it seems that many of the values we hold sacred are being sown to the winds. We see Godless men in positions of responsibility and trust. We see weighty decisions being made with no regard for what is right but for the sake of expediency alone. I know that it has been the idea of many that we do not need religion. There are many who feel themselves superior to the dictates of Christianity, but those who build their house on anything else build on the sand. That is true of nations as well as individuals. The men with whom I come in contact every day are not · particularly spiritual men. They are the average run of straight thinking business and professional men, but I find them more and more coming to the realization that there is but one hope, one rock on which to buildAlmighty God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

The answer to the world's problem lies in its acceptance of the Christian principles of life. Christianity and good citizenship go hand in hand. Do we need good citizenship? We have only to .look at the acts of men who flaunt corruption in high places to receive a clear answer. What is the remedy? You in this room tonight can be the remedy. You have pledged loyalty to Pi Kappa Phi, and Pi Kappa Phi means Christian manhood and good citizenship. Hold always to your pledge."

NEUMANN EARNS DOCTORATE IN SWITZERLAND Dr. and Mrs. Helmut C. Neumann

ALMOST two years after Helmut C. Neumann, Alpha Xi, had sailed to LeHavre, France, on a troop transport, he made the same trip under mulf}l more pleasant circumstances with his bride, the former Miss Marian Hake. This was in September, 1946, on their way to Zurich, Switzerland, where Neumann went to resume his studies for a doctorate.

After receiving the B.S. degree in Chemistry from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1938, he became a chemist with Fritzsche Bros., Inc., of New York, an essential oil house. Four years later he left the firm for a three-year stay with the medical department of the Army. He served in France and Germany with the· 127th Evacuation Hospital under the Seventh Army as a non-comm in charge of medical laboratory.

His rank moved from Private to Technician Third Grade.

Neumann was back at the Fritzsche Bros., Clifton, N. ]., factory from December, 1945, to August, 1946.

While working with essential oils, he became interested in terpene chemistry, so he decided to continue his education under the GI Bill of Rights. Since Prof.

Leopold Ruzicka is an authority on terpenes and steroids as well as a Nobel Laureate, Neumann decided to study for his doctor's degree under Professor Ruzicka at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. Under the GI Bill of Rights about 600 students were studying in Switzerland alone in 1947, not counting the large numbers in France and Great Britain. A Geneva office of the Veterans Administration was opened to take care of the exservicemen in Switzerland.

"It was a wonderful experience, and the two years and three months passed all too quickly," Dr. Neumann declared. "The Federal Institute of Technology is Switzerland's only federal university, all the others are cantonal, similar to state universities here. Switzerland has 22 cantons, similar to our states, but the population of Switzerland is only six to seven million.

There are about a dozen universities in the larger cities. In Zurich and for about 60 per cent of Switzer-

land, German is the official language, French, about 30 per cent, Italian, for about 8 per cent, Romanish, for about 1 per cent.

"Zurich has the Federal Institute of Technology a university. It is the largest city in Switzerland a population of about 350,000. A large percentage the students are foreigners (not Swiss) from all the world. The Swiss students have societies clubs, but not exactly like our fraternities. They duel with swords as in the old days and it is quite aP honor to have a long, livid scar right across the face.

The federal school has a top notch, world-wide repu· tation in the quality of engineers, physicists and cbeJlld' ists and other technical men that it turns out. I foull my studies inspiring and the people I met fascinating· Above all, the wonderful scenery and beauty of tbt Alps made week ends and vacatiOns unforgettable e$' periences.

"The Winters in Zurich are cold and gray," J)t· Neumann explained. "Seldom does the sun appeP1 from November until March, but what a change to travel by train for an hour or so up into the AI~ "When we arrived in Zurich, everything was s t· rationed, but by 1948 rationing had ceased. Switze land is still on the gold standard, and gold coins wett available at the banks. The banks sold any curren~l available much lower than the official rates. OffiCI~ exchange was 4.28 francs to the dollar, but dollar bUv could be bought for 3.20. As the subsistence allowancl was only $105 a month from the GI Bill of Rights,~) wife worked for the American Express Company 1~ Zurich to help out. She returned home in October 1948. Our son, Teddy, was born in January, 1949. 'fb' same month I received my doctor's degree," pr Neumann reported.

For a year and a half after that Dr. Neumann b~1 a post-doctorate research fellowship at the UniversJ!) of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia where he develope' new steroids to be tested for their effect on cancer ~ arthritis. Since August, 1950, he has been resea; chemist for White Laboratories, Inc., a pharmaceutl~ concern in Newark, N. ].

ROBERT HOPE Robert De Vere Hope, Alpha Xi '29, Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, died March 23 at his home in Fanwood, N. J. He was 67.

A native of Richmond, Va., he was the head of a consulting engineering firm that he founded in Newark, N. J., in 1919.

0/R by the compliments for their house J UDGING mothers which have come from the ten fraternities fortunate enough to have such adjuncts, these ladies must be quite important persons in their domains.

While Mr. Yos could by no means be called a house mother, he shares honors in this story as he shares them with his wife at Beta Epsilon, University of Missouri.

From the wealth of information the proud chapters have sent about their VIP's (very important persons) we have gleaned a few highlights for a story about them . It seems that the duties of these persons range all the way from sewing on a button, to taking care of the house, giving advice on "dates," and encouraging the men to be their best.

Mr. and Mrs. David Yos Beta Epsilon is unique among Pi Kapp chapters and among organized houses on the University of Missouri campus in that it has house parents. They are Mr. and Mrs. David Yos, who came to Beta Epsilon from Lambertville, N. J., in September. Mrs. Yos is a graduate of the Cooper Union Art School in New York City, where her major study was industrial design. She studied home economics at Plattsburg State Teachers' College in New Jersey and worked as an interior decorator for an architectural firm in New Jersey.

Mr. Yos is teaching in the botany department at the University while working on his doctorate in plant genetics. He is a graduate of New York University and has worked as a plant inspector for the Customs Department.

New officers for the Spring semester are C. B. Barry, archon; Jack Anderson, secretary; Ralph Lowrimore, treasurer; James Corn, historian; Bill Glenn, chap·lain, and Joe Potts, warden.

At an alumni banquet last Fall, we were honored by the presence of · W. B. Jones, Jr., who presented to us our original charter. This prize possession of ours had been missinl! so long, we had given up hope of ever recovering it. But through the untiring efforts of Mr. Jones, we once again ha ve our "Masterpiece."

The rush season this year was a great success, netting over 20 pledges. However, the present crisis took its toll between semesters. A large number of pledges joined the armed forces. Also taking its toll of actives was graduation , which left us a little short on all sides.

Our pledges built a prize-winning flo at for the HomeComing parade. This is the third consecutive year we have had the top float.

New men initiated since our last letter are John R. Anderson, James H. Corn, Ralph T. Lowrimore, Bill Creech , and James K. Haley.

· At the first chapter meeting of the new quarter Eta elected her new Rose. From Decatur, Ga., she is Miss Betty Thompson, tall, dark, and beautiful. Our new Rose is a student at the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia, and is a member of Pi Sigma Delta sorority.

Eta started the Winter quarter by receiving one of the highest honors attainable by a chapter on the Emory campus, that of achieving during the Fall quarter a higher academic. record than any other fraternity on the campus.

Eta's chapter lodge now has a new ping pong table, donated by Brother Fred Mylius. Paddles for the new table were furnished by the Fall pledge class. The lawn of the lodge is now graced by a new log fence. The brothers decided that something must be done to keep women drivers from running over our front yard.

Initiated into Eta thi! winter were Dick Leinecker, of Miami, Fla., and Bob Hoover, of Atlanta, Ga. Pledged at the beginning· of the Winter quarter was Oscar Chapman, of Jasper, Ga. Eta and Iota, at Georgia Tech, are pioneering a new acUvity in promoting even greater brotherhood among Pi Kapp Chapters. The two chapters are embarking on a year

They were: Joe Thomas, Omaha; Carl Lessen hop, Lincoln ; Charles Adams, Aurora; Bill Simpson, Marysville, K ansas; Paul Lessen hop , Lincoln; Selden Davey, Lincoln; Charle~ Reed, Omaha; Oscar Koch , Lincoln; and, Ralph H. Trester, Duncan, Wyoming.

Officers elected for the second semester are Donley Klein, archon; Curtis Venell, treasurer; Mort Novak, secretary; John R. Stolinski, historian ; Don Metcalf, chaplain, and Joe Kochelek, warden.

At our first Rush Dinner of the seco nd semester, the Rush Committee, under the co-chairmansh ip of Brothers Frank Hoffman and "Bud" Weidmaier had 17 men for dinner. So far three men have pledged and four more show interest. The men who have pledged are Bill Schabacker, Gene Plouzek, and Ron Ohnoutka.

The pledges are going to give the active chapter a house party March 16. (This Jetter is being written March 12.) The party will be an informal one with dancing and bridge. The pledges claim that they owe the chapter a party because of that party they received after their sneak. When the pledges took their sneak, they visited Brother Simpson at Marysville, Kansas.

Brothers Bernard W. Costello and Earl W. Dunning graduated in January.

Congratulations to Brother John B. Truell who was promoted from the rank of Captain to that of Major. Brother Truell is an instructor of Air Science and Tactics at the University of Nebraska.

Results of the election of officers are as follows: Archon, Jim Charlton; secretary, Jay McClaugherty; treasurer, Clem Conner; historian, AI Stump; warden, Roy Smith; chaplain, Jim Stephenson, and alumni secretary, Macon Couk.

The chapter has been quite interested in the chart which is sent out each month by Central Office to tell the chapters just bow they are doing. The boys have really gotten on the ball to see if at the end of the year they can't have one of those Master chapter certificates to hang in the living room of the house. One of the principal things which shows their work is the fact that the scholarship of the fraternity at the end of the first term exceeded the all men's average for the school.

As this letter goes to press, plans call for the annual Spring Formal to be held at the Governor Tyler Hotel in Radford, Va. The annual Conclave this year was really one for the books. I think that everyone there had a "terrific" time and are all looking forward to the one next year. One of the highlights of the dance was the guest speaker, W. B. Jones, Jr. Another thing we have planned for this March 31st is a Blue Jean dance at Rutledge Inn on the tip top of Mill Mountain which overlooks Roanoke.

Chi

At this letter's deadline Pi Kappa Phi at Stetson had already racked up points enough to keep the Intra-mural Athletic trophy another year. Even though Chi was out front in the trophy race, its standing was boosted when four frats dropped from the league temporarily. During the Fall and Winter quarters the Pi Kapps won basketball, football, handball, paddleball, and volley ball.

Chi not only cll!-ims the Hatter baseball coach, "Doc" Carl Johnson, but is well represented on the player roster, including Walt Jasinski, Lou Treen, Merrill Smith, Larry Hopkins, Cliff Nelson, and Manager Fred Ellinor. Ray Dunne is catcher for the class "D" DeLand Red Hats.

Chi chose Julian Bennett as archon for the second school term. George Ossorio is treasurer; Ronnie Spencer, secretary; Tom Mahaffey, historian; Fred Conway, warden, and Wayne Oeffler, chaplain.

Eight men, Bruce Wigle, Fred Ellinor, Buzz Johnson, Charlie Turner, Steve Berry, Mickey Walker, Merrill Smith, and Gene Brasher were initiated during formal ceremonies.

In the Winter quarter Chi added Bill Shaddix, Elwyn Edwards, Bill Sloan, Larry Davis, Cliff Nelson, and Jim Young to its pledge class.

Many social affairs were given recently, including five sorority parties, and open house, shrimp boil, beach party, and oyster roast, climaxed by the annual Parade of Orchids April

Graduation struck a blow at Iota. We lost two quite active brothers, Herb Owens and Bill Smith.

The former assistant treasurer, Ed Chapman, auto matically became treasurer.

Tau's twenty-second annual Rose Banquet which precedes the IFC Mid-Winter Dance was the social highlight of the term. John Rose was master of ceremonies, and A. P.

Tau's Ping Pong Team, consisting of A. P. White, "Buck" Plemmons, Bob Ammons, and Pledge Jerry Welch, entered the inter-mural Ping Pong Tournament. When the dust cleared, Tau found itself in second place, thanks to some outstanding play by Pledge Welch.

Alpha Phi

The third annual Pi Kapp conclave was held on the third and fourth of March at Upsilon Chapter at the University of Illinois. As usual, Alpha Phi was on hand with a good representation. The fourteen members who took the trip were Vince Reck, John DiFrancisco, Ralph Giusti, Ray Hettick (archon), Roger Marz, Roger Doty, Dick Szostak, Bud Lamb, Bill Kolacki, Don Frank, Bob Frey, George Zak, Bob Keller, and our faculty adviser, Frank Hrachovsky. The highlight of the two day orogram was W. B. Jones' Training School. Many important pointers on rushing and chapter organization were picked up by all the seven chapters which attended. Our congratulations to Upsilon for the wonderful dance that was arranged for all the visitors.

Alpha Phi is proud to announce that it has added one more cup to its mantel. Last May, we took first place in the I. I. T. Junior Week Open House Decorations Contest.

Last month, we received our trophy.

A chess tourney has been in progress for several weeks, and a table tennis tourney is on the way. The bowling team, baseball team, and golf team are practicing like mad.

In the way of scholarship, five of our active members ran a hot race for the scholarship key. Don Frank got the nod and is now one key richer. So far, Alpha Phi has adhered rigidly to the idea of two socials a month. Our two big affairs are the Rose Ball, which will be held in May, and the Senior Farewell, which will be held in mid-June.

Alpha Delta

The winter term started at Alpha Delta wi-th the election of the following officers: Glen Berry, .archon; Bob Johnson, treasurer; James Johnson, secretary; Dave Kingery, historian; Ray Reese, chaplain; Harry McGinn, warden,. and Rod Payne, house .manager.

Since formal rush week the pledge class has increased by ten men: Lowell Partain, Yakima, Wash.; Fred Brown, Edmonds, Wash.; Rex Crase, Centralia, Wash.; Dick Priest, Anchorage, Alaska; Bob Hanson, Raymond, Wash.; Bill Schwalbe, Yakima; Charles Hunt, Yakima; John Clark, Seattle; John Daily, Port Angeles, Wash., and Archie Frew, Richland, Wash.

Alpha Delta's pledge class this year is spirited and active. Led by a very able president, Archie Frew, they have consistently shown themselves to have the initiative and organization that goes to make a first -rate fraternity.

Headed by the president, the class carried out all plans for .the pledge dance February 3 in secret. The evening's festivities began with a cocktail party which was terminated by a caravan of cars snaking through Seattle's streets to the unknown spot at which the dance was to be held. We soon arrived at our destination, the Silver Swan, a large excursion boat, complete with bar, booths, a "swell" dance floor, and a moonlit after-deck. Small glass floats, wrapped in fishnets, served as favors. Fish nets, cork and glass floats composed the decorations. For about four hours we sailed over Lake Washington.

Early this year, when the Husky Winter Sports Clu,b held its annual Winter Carnival, the Pi Kapps sent 10 representatives •to take part in the activities. Fred Brown and Dave Kingery won the costume race. Appearing as "John" and "Marcia," they swept the course easily to win the colorful event. Fred wore an old moth-eaten tux which was about four sizes too large, while Dave wore a relic of the 20's, an old beaded dress, red sash, and all.

Oregon State College

Alpha Zeta

Politics on the Oregon State campus seems tu be one of the main objectives of Alpha Zeta. We have more than our share. Neil Fritts is president of -the junior class, while Jim Wilson is sergeant-at-arms. Frank Thomas is president of the freshman class, anrJ is rapidly gaining his place in campus affairs. Bob Reeves is the Oregon State yell king and does a fine job of "installing" school spirit.

The beginning of Winter term found us initiating five new members: Frank Thomas, Dan Eastman, Bill Cook, Dan Neuhauser, and Bill Barrett.

Our house is in fine shape, the Mother's Club always giving us a helping hand. Recently they gave us a large mirror to hang over the fireplace in the living room. They · also donated $100 which was used to help pay for the furniture in our party room. I might add that our club room is the finest on the campus, with indirect lighting, radiant coloring, a 12 foot glass brick bar, and an abstract mur:il, all featured in a room 20 by 35 feet. Each time we have an exchange dinner with a sorority, the girls enjoy dancing in this modern piece of interior design.

As for ath letics, we too have our share of participation in college spol'ts. We had four men out for freshman football, and one man on the freshman basketball team who towered

six feet, four. Two o( our rooks are now churni ng ci for the track team . Bob Reeves has been on the varsity tearn for the past two years.

We have held our own in intra-mural sports also, ing both an "A" and a "B" team in basketball . Our team is in second place in their league and has a good of going into the fraternity play-offs. Our skiing team, sisting of nine men, are getting ready for their intra-mu event as this letter is being written.

The most important chapter function of the Winter was the West Coast Leadership school held here February and 11. Along with men from Alpha Omega, Alpha Delta, Gamma chapters, Alpha Zeta was honored as host to W. Jones, Ralph Snider, District XIX archon, and J. AI past national secretary.

After the 0. S. C. vs. Idaho basketball game, the Pi house opened its doors to an- visitors and their dates dancing, games, and refreshments.

Alpha Zeta now ranks sixth among the chapters of Kappa Phi, and has aspirations of going even higher.

Iowa State College

Alpha Omicron

Once again the world situation threatens the future of Alpha Omicron. However, with the help of the National Council and the college we are taking preparatory action to meet this situation. The college has put into effect an emergency measure which allows fraternities on campus to initiate men who have been pledges for only one quarter. A 'poll of our actives and pledges as to their military status indicates that unless the armed forces need to be brought to full world war strength, 32 men will be returning nex·t .Fall .

The following officers were elected during Winter quarter : Dick Ewen, archon; Paul Needham, treasurer; Kenneth Hook, secretary; Russell Bryant, historian; Leo Hu her, chaplain; and Dick Stewart, warden.

Gib Stanek directed a very successful rushing program last Fall and at the present time we have 22 pledges. There are 25 actives living at the house and our scholarship rating is fourth among the 27 fraternities on campus.

Our Founder's Day program was held in the chapter house on December 10, and Henry Giese, an alum, delivered an after-dinner talk. Then Floyd Pegler, who planned to transfer to Penn State, presented a large scholarship plaque to the chapter.

"Sno Ball" was again the theme for our annual Winter formal. It .was held in the chapter house February 17 . The fellows who sported tuxes and brought their best gals had a very enjoyable evening.

"Love Comes to Iowa State" is the title of the comedy skit we plan to present at Campus Varieties. Jerry Borum is the writer and director, and under his leadership the brothers are working hard to perfect their parts.

We are planning for our big Veishea Parade flo at, and we extend a hearty welcome to alums to visit us during Veishea. May 26 is the date for the Rose Ball at Alpha Omicron, and all of the alumni are invited to come.

Alpha Sigma

The Winter quarter here at Alpha Sigma has been noted as a studious quarter as well as an active social quarter. We began the social quarter with the "exchange party," initiated by ·the Delta Gammas on the Hill." Things kept rolling with a pledge-active party, the result of a bet on the pledge-active football game.

We enjoyed Traveling Counselor Bill Abbott's stay with us. Especially appreciated were his discussions with the chapter on fraternity matters, as well as his stories of the activities of other chapters. Bill arrived just in time for the winter quarter Nayheeyayli dance series.

Congratulations to Brother Wiley Peyer on his appointment as archon of District VIII. As we welcome Brother Peyer to his new office, we'd like to express our appreciation to Brother Ed Jones, retiring "D. A.," for his not untiring but unceasing work to advance Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Jones has been an invaluable help to Alpha Sigma.

News abou·t our alumni : Brother Dan Armstrong, who headed one of the best initiation teams we've had for some time, has returned to Knoxville after completing a training course at the Firestone Corporation in Birmingham. Also, Brother Henry Thrower dropped in with his wife one Sunday, and we learned that he is now manager of a super-market in Belmont, N. C. Brother Lamar Rankin .has also reported

F

to the chapter, ·telling us about his experiences in the Nation31 Guard. He is stationed at Fort Devens, Mass.

We miss the able management of our past archon, Edwin Hoskins, who graduated in December with a B.S. degree in Business Administration, and the "AI J olson" antics of Bob Baker, who graduated at the same time with a B.S. degree in Agriculture.

Brother Bob Talley is now "Doc Talley, having received his Ph. D. in Physics fro·m the University of Tennessee. Jlc went from here to Washington, D. C., to work at an Ordnance laboratory.
