Letters from Our Readers Stoner Meets John Carroll Fort Jackson, S.

·c.

Dear Editors: Sunday my wife, Ellen, and I rJrove through Lexington, S. C. We passed a nice looking home that attracted our attention. I was doubly interested because as part of its entrance-way it had a stained glass window, the motif of which was the Pi Kappa Phi coat-of-arms. My curiosity was aroused to such an extent that I went up to inquire as to the reason for the window. The bouse turned out to be the residence of Brother John Carroll, past national prexy of the fraternity and a man who is still active and interested_ in its welfare. Mr. Carroll invited us in, and we passed an enjoyable Sunday afternoon, talking about Pi Kappa Phi. Fraternally,

Lt. Winlock Wins Silver Star On Korean Front FIRST LT. WILLIAM C. WINLOCK, Alpha Omicron '47, Iowa State College, has been awarded the Silver Star for heroism in Korea. Lt. Winlock, who graduated from Iowa State in 1950, was attached to Battery A, 39th Field Artillery Battalion, of the 3rd Division in Korea. He was in a forward observation post as an artillery spotter on June 23, 1951 , when he displayed the heroism for which he was honored. The citation describes this heroism as follows: "He repeatedly exposed himself to heavy enemy fire in order to direct friendly artillery during a UN aavance. "Shortly after the objective was taken the enemy counter-attacked, and once more, boldly exposing himself to the hostile fire, Lt. Winlock adjusted a repulsing artillery barrage on the enemy troops. " During the action he was wounded by fragments from a bursting grenade, but, refusing to be placed on a litter, he walked from the battle area, helping other wounded men to reach the aid station," the citation continued. Last year Winlock witnessed the one quiet day of peace from a front line observation point. "It was so quiet I couldn 't sleep," he stated . " I haven 't been so surprised since a Chinese threw a hand grenade into my foxhole last June. " Lt. Winlock is the son of Mrs. Peyton Winlock, 921 Brookridge Ave., Ames, Iowa, and the late Col. Peyton Winlock. Colonel Winlock was commander of the Iowa State ROTC from 193 7 to 1942. While his father was on duty at the college in 1939 young Winlock contracted polio ; he was paralyzed and unable to talk. He i~proved rapidly, but later, when he graduated from h1gh school in 1942, he was classified 4-F. " This was more than he could stand " Mrs. Winlock said, " but after two years of pullin'g strings and seeing doctors he finally was drafted. " After serving 13 months in Seoul in World War II he came back and enrolled in college. When he graduated he finally got the commission in the regular army he had wanted since he was a boy, Mrs. Winlock added . .

- - - 'Tr'Kcp - - In the October, 1951 , issue of Banta's Greek Exchange appears a story about Pi Kappa Phi 's Ch~pter Ratin.g program, featuring Omega, Purdue, which ~laced first last year. The story is accompanied by a ptcture of the members and a reproduction of the certificate which was awarded to Omega by the National Office. 3

He held membership in Beta Gamma Sigma, scholastic honorary for business students, and in Delta Sigma Pi professional commerce fraternity. He was also a m~mber of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. Brother Williamson served Alpha Lambda Chapter as archon and as its delegate to the Supreme Chapter Meeting in Portland, Ore., in 1950.

Where, Oh Where Has Abner Gone? Omicron's pet alligator, Abner, is gone again. The 24-incb reptile, presented to the brothers of Omicron sometime last Summer, strayed from his fenced -in pond back of the house last winter and hasn't been seen since.

The student, it seems, found Abner passively wallowing in a large mud puddle in front of Alabama President John Galallee's campus home. Figuring the little monster must have strayed from Florida he promptly turned him over to Biology Building 'professors, who, after appropriate ohs and ahs stuck him in a glass cage for zoology students to study. The Omicroners brought him back to the house and put him in his regular spot in the backyard where he stayed until he decided it was time for another stroll.

Engineering Benefits From Contributions Of Dean Hammond By CHARLES K. HENDERSON, Historian Alpha Mu, Penn State

Dean Hammond was a member of Delta Kappa P!; the local at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute before 1e became Alpha Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. He becattl a member of Alpha Xi in 1928.

Dean Is Working Again

Dean Harry P. Hammond

"THIS WOULD BE ONE HUMDINGER of an institution if everyone gave as much to the school as Dean Hammond did," Dean Earl Stavely, assistant dean of the Engineering School at Penn State, said when asked about Dean Harry Parker Hammond who retired as dean of the school last Spring. The November, 1951, issue of the Penn State Engineer was dedicated to Dean Hammond. The lead story, "A Giant Leaves the Campus," was accompanied by a full-page picture of the dean. Two other features, honoring him, were entitled "Chemistry and Physics Pays Tribute to Our Retiring Dean" and "The Aims and Ideals of H. P. Hammond."

"Worked Like the Dickens" When Dean Hammond was asked to say something about himself for inclusion in this story he made the following brief statements: "I have worked like the dickens all my life, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially, I like to work in engineering. I like students, especially engineering students. I have always gotten along well with them, and I think they have gotten along well with me. Believe it or not, I like to write, though I don't do well when it comes to writing about myself. Finally, I like Pi Kapps." B

Although retired from the college, Dean Hanun~~: is working again. March 1 he left for Dayton, 0 1 ~ where he has taken a 4-month assignment as special consultant at Wright Air Field for th~ O. 5~ Air Fore~. He and Mrs. Hammond were gJ\ren g. farewell dinner by Alpha Mu Chapter February 2 5 Mrs. Hammond was presented a bouquet of flowe~i; For 14 years Dean Hammond never missed as dean's column in the Penn State Engineer. Be w\1' very thorough in getting his job done, getting to kn.~g students, and trying to improve the engineert piS curriculum. The Engineering Student Council was one of favorite interests, "one of his babies." II • Early to bed and early to rise was Dean ~ 111bl mond's philosophy. Dean Stavely, who lives rt~e down the block said the downstairs lights at Je Hammond's usually go out about 9:30 and the couP retires. te Because of limited parking facilities at Penn Staa~ it is difficult to find parking space. Professors can usually get permits to park on the campus, but 0 ettle Hammond would not accept a permit. Rather he ca to his office early. . pis Another reason he was always the first one tn fie office was that he took great pride in his work. 1o was always punctual and arrived at his office at minutes to 8.

He Has Curiosity

,, l'he tn Usic 1919 . ''1\ , I Iller!

"Mr. Hammond has a great curiosity about an:d thing. He wants to find out things," Mrs. Hamrn~ 3 z said in an interview at the Hammond home at s West Fairmont Avenue, State College. "One of his top interests is railroads. He will aJwa~f choose a train in preference to any other t~pe pe transportation. The Pennsylvania Railroad, whtC~rS· knows practically inside out, is his favorite. 00 Hammond was reared on the New York Central, 8tlte so they sometimes have friendly arguments abo?t oP merits of the respective railroads. He loves to nd~rS· trains, and he will always stop to see a train," Hammond pointed out. (Continued on Page 12)

R. SAGE, chapter adviser J AMES and charter member of Alpha

Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, passed away November 13, 1951 , following a long illness . Brother Sage was the registrar of the Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, at the time of his death. Brother Sage received his B.A. Degree from Ohio State College in 1912 and his M.S. Degree from Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1915. He came to Iowa State first as an instructor in the department of mathematics, and in 1920 he was appointed as the first registrar of the college. He organized both the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Admissions at Iowa State and made them models of efficiency and effective operation which were soon copied by many colleges and universities all over the United States. Many times he was called upon as consultant in the field of collegiate registrar work, and he served for some time as the president of the Collegiate Registrars' Association. He was chairman of five separate administrative committees at Iowa State and a member of many others. In 1948 he was appointed as a member of the civilian Board of Advisers to the United States Armed Forces Insti tute (USAFI) by the Department of Defense. In addition to all these duties and activities be was also vice-dean of the Junior College.

Adviser Since 1929 From the year of the chartering of the Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi in 1929 until his death, Brother Sage was chapter adviser and gave faithful and generous support to all the chapter's activities. He became known to every one of the hundreds of alumni of Alpha Omicron, and he continually enjoyed

the regular stream of alumni visitors who would drop in to see him on return visits to the alma mater. He headed the War Advisory Council of his chapter during the years of World War II and his efforts, coupled with those of many other local alumni, made it possible for the chapter to reopen and start again its operations in the Fall of 1945.

"Amazing Man, I feel that for the many of us who really knew "J. R ." the above account falls far short of telling the full story of this amazing man. A lot of us remember with pleasure that ]. R. was always our favorite after-dinner speaker. Hidden behind his quiet and rather reserved exterior was a keen and capable sense of humor. We looked forward to every event that would call forth from him one of his innumerable jokes or stories. We gossiped speculatively about the rumor that he kept a card file of jokes for all occasions, never really knowing whether he did or not, and we waited without success to catch him telling the same story twice.

Chapter Is Monument to Him Many of us recall the pleasant visits we had wHh J. R . in his office, always knowing the door was open to us any time we needed his audience. His careful words of wisdom and advice never went unheeded, for his constant contact with college work gave him a mature understanding of the college student. His careful guidance of our chapter through its infant days up to the present time will always be a part of the legend of Alpha Omicron. The chapter stands today, strong and proud, as a living monument to the memory of a great man. The bitter news of the passing of J. R. Sage will soon be forgotten , but the memory of that kindly, living

. to t the man will last many years In r future of Alpha Omicron ChaP ~~~ Mr. Sage is survived by his WI ' Mrs. Jessie Sage.

DEAN MAKES

CO~NTRIBUTION

(Continued from Page 8)

"He is interested also in boats and ships. Living on the coast no doubt accounts for this interest. At one time he could identify nearly every ship that came into New York harbor." He was especially interested in shrimp boats when he and Mrs. Hammond took a trip to Florida in January. The Hammonds left January 2 for Florida and returned on the 31st. They saw the shrimp boats when they were staying in Fort Myers. He Takes Up Photography On the trip the dean took pictures with a new stereo-camera, which the faculty presented him on his retirement. He takes colored pictures and has a projector to project them on the wall. When you look through polaroid lenses, you find that the pictures have perspective, are three-dimensional. Though the dean knew nothing about photography previously, he has become quite interested in it. Dean Hammond explained that he is interested in birds in "an amateurish way." His interest in birds started when he met Mrs. Hammond and caught some of her enthusiasm for them. The Hammonds maintain a bird feeding station all year around and feed cardinals, various sparrows, chickadees, white-breasted nut hatches, evening grosbeaks, and an occasional w'oodpecker. He Is Fond of Dogs Dean Hammond is extremely fond of dogs and cats. Mrs. Hammond said that he would sometimes even leave her standing on the street while he went over to speak to a cat or dog. "He always speaks to them," Mrs. Hammond said. The Hammonds have a Shetland sheep dog, Sheltie, that is sometimes called Mr. Chips or Chippy. "My husband's most outstanding characteristic is extraordinary loyalty to his. friends," Mrs. Hammond declared. "He refuses to believe any malicious gossip." In high school he ran track and played tennis. He always goes to the football games. He follows baseball rather ardently. The Yankees are his favorite baseball team. . Reading is another one of the dean's main interests. His favorite is Dickens, though he reads much other literature. He can quote a great deal of Dickens. He was extremely interested in the Engineering Reading Room at Penn State. He tried to improve it by encouraging engineers to read other things of literary value besides technical books. He asked various people for lists of histories, biographies, and good fiction and tried to get some of these books for the reading room. Dean's Chief Hobby Is Work "Mr. Hammond's chief hobby, I think, is work," Mrs. Hammond stated. "It's hard for him to retire. Although his chief interest is in the improvement of engineering education and teaching, he is interested in college work as .a whole." Col1eague Pays Tribute "Some men assure their places in history by leading armies into battle; others build skyscrapers or bridges; 12

but still others achieve honor and eventual fame through the achievements of their students," Walker, Dean, School of Engineering, said in d1;, article, "The Aims and Ideals of H. P. Hammon it "Dean H. P. Hammond chose the latter course. 'ts is a more difficult path and one in which th~ fru~e are far less apparent and, indeed, one in wh1ch t fruits ripen years after a man's work is done. d a "Dean Hammond quite probably has effecte n greater influence on the education of engineers tban1 any other man. Although his work in the classroo. 15 has always been outstanding and few of his pu~I n will forget him, his work in determining the directi~e and quality of engineering education will influen all engineers."

"The less you say about me the safer you'll be " Mr. Bolt cautioned this reporter. "All I claim f~r myself in Pi Kappa Phi is that I did my best." He said, with his customary extreme modesty, that "pioneering in any organization calls for brawn rather than brains. Any efforts on my part for the fraternity were from affection for and interest in the organization. Any errors made were from the human frailties and not the heart." Considering the responsibilities that Mr. Bolt has assumed for Pi Kappa Phi through the years, one realizes that he has just cause for keeping a watchful eye on all that goes on in the preparation of The Star and Lamp, even though he does it by proxy, through his picture on the wall of The Star and Lamp office.

CALLING THE ROLL Alpha Iota

Auburn

Alpha Iota led the API fraternities by being first on the campus to pledge 100 per cent in the recent Red Cross Blood Drive. Although some were classified as ineligible donors after examinations, all were willing to "bleed for the cause;" a large majority got their "blood drip" pins and "wore them proudly." To keep up circulation of what slood remained in the chapter, social chairman "Rosebud" Quillen has averaged a party a week, and the house date rate has more than tripled since Thursday evenings were declared "special date nites." House manager "Tubby" Gordon has Jed the pledges and brothers in several "work" parties lately, and much paint bas flowed. Both upstairs bathrooms got a modern touch, and downstairs the halls, porch columns and dining room "got the works." To top it all, a large full color Pi Kappa Phi Crest of linoleum was laid in the front hall entrance. Under the guidance of Graduating Senior Fred Karthaus, our intramural bowling team brought home the trophy. We now have our eyes on the trophy for wrestling. Teams for baseball, volley-ball, tennis, and golf are being organized. -Historian

The advent of the Spring semester saw a new slate of officers take over the management of chapter affairs. AI Andersen is proving to be an excellent archon. He is supported by Hank Lemeur as treasurer, Joe Bahman as secretary, Joe Dawson as historian, Charlie Abotte as chaplain, and Bill Tito as warden. Charlie Abotte, who is rushing chairman, and Bill Tito, our new 'pledge master, have gotten together a good pledge class of twelve men, and as this is written, ·the group is still growing rapidly. Pi Kappa Phi, under the stimulus of Ed Schofield, h:~s been successful in re-awakening interest in a dormant I. F . C. here at Brooklyn Poly. With Ed as chairman, the group is sponsoring a Blood Drive, a program of presenting the true story of fraternities to the entering freshmen, and a sports program, including, among other things, basketball and bowling. Unfortunately for Pi Kap, it is rumored that the four of our brothers on the varsity basketball team won't be eligible for this I. F. C. competition. The Father and Son Smoker was held on March 21. The primary purpose of these events, started last year, is to give the fathers of our pledges an opportunity to meet the men with whom their sons are starting a new association . It would be unfair to close without announcing that Ensign AI Fedowitz is still directing the activities of the U. S. Navy from his berth at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Along the same line, Bob Graves reported to Columbus, Ohio, March 8 to start an eighteen-month training period as a Naval Air Cadet. -Joe Dawson, Historian

January 15, five men were initiated into the chapter. They included Bill Gilliland, Hollywood, Fla.; Brooke Johnson, Marietta, Ga.; George O'Lary, Macon, Ga .; William E. Overacker, Griffin, Ga., and Lowell Tillman, Surrency. New pledge thus far this quarter is James Bennett, Atlanta. Once again the chapter is proud to announce that it won first in fraternity scholarship ranking 'on the campus. Last Fall we topped the other 13 Greek organizations with a 9.744 average which was close to a "B." This kept our record going, as last year we won first two out of the three quarters and ended in second place for the year. Our alumni have announced plans to call in $10,000 toward a goal of $15,000, this goal representing 40 per cent of the cost of the house. Emory University will provide the remainder of the cost. During the week end of Founders' Day we honored the founders, had a wiener roast Rush Party on Saturday, and sold newspapers in an Atlanta Christmas Drive early Sunday morning. We had a Christmas Party Tuesday night. Since January we have had something big every week end. The first two weeks we had rush parties. These included a Hobo Party and a Pajama Party. On the third week end we traveled to Knoxville for a glorious week end at the District Conclave. Alpha Sigma Chapter members were wonderful hosts; next year we are in charge and only hope we can show them as good a time as they did us.

Jack was initiated also into Pi Tau Sigma, honorary mechanical engineering fraternity . Our basketball team is tied for the lead in the intrafraternity competition . We are assured of a play-off berth, and if we keep playing the same brand of ball, we should win the championship. The team is paced by high-scorers Jack Cray and Larry Kominiak, and is coached by Jack Blazier, a member of the college varsity team. The bowling team is fighting for a play-off berth in the intramural league, and also bas a good chance for a championship. High men on the team are Tom Brennan and Jack Albright who are also members of the college varsity bowling team which has just won a conference championship. An original noisemaker contest at a home basketball game was won by Beta Alpha. Bob Tomaro, as a jack-in-the-box, entertained the fans during the entire evening with humorous skits. The contest was to induce larger crowds to come to the games, and Beta Alpha backed that up by holding open-house parties after each game. -'Philip C. Baumann, Historian

Tau

The Winter term was our busiest yet, with rushing, initiations, dances, and other outstanding events. Under the guidance of our new archon, Edwin Chapman, Charlotte, we got off to a fast start with three bang-up rushing parties. Of these three, the party held at Crab-tree Park was one of our best parties in years. As a result of this excellent rushing program, Tau pledged six men. These pledges arc Alexander Eddie Anthony, Jr., Laurinburg, N. C.; William Thomas Johnson, Durham, N. C.; Douglas Thomas Julian, Statesville, N. C.; Ronald D. McLain, Dumont, N. J.; Roany Bennette Thomas, Altavista, Va., and Harold Edward Tolbert Lenoir, N. C. '

Chapter Is Host To Conference Tau was happy to be host for the North Carolina Leadership Conference which was held here January 26 and 27. Everyone agreed that this was a worthwhile conference and, with w. Bernard Jones, Jr., cracking the whip, was fast moving and educational. February 11, the following men were initiated into Tau: Edward White Avent, III, Raleigh, N. C.; Ernest Washington Dobson, Forest City, N. C.; J obn Thomas Fisher, Kannapolis, N. C.; Charles Booth Hasbrouck, Jr., Bladenboro, N. C.; James Edgar Kirkman, Jr., Charlotte, N. C., and Clarence Alexander Wingate, Jr., Charlotte, N. C. This initiation followed a constructive Hell Week in which vast improvements took place at fue chapter bouse.

Alumni Attend Banquet Tau held its twenty-third Annual Rose Banquet before Mid-Winters Dances at the Woman's Club here in Raleigh. We were happy to see Alumni Hazel Moore, Greensboro, N. C., with his wife, Jeff; J obn Ross, Greensboro, with his wife, Nancy; Gene Harrill, Raleigh, and his wife, Eleanor; · Paul Whetstone, Durham, N. C.; Jim Hemphill, Burlington, N.

Alpha Zeta

The ranks of the members grew two stronger when Rod Moore and Clarence Estes, both of Portland, Ore., were initiated January 27. Several members, arriving home early one Friday night, a rrived just in time to bid the pledges farewell on their Sneak Week End trip to Mount Hood. Caught completely unawares, the members fo~nd the house neatly stripped of almost every essential. However, the pledges "graciously" showed their repentance by repainting part of the second floor and making the rest of the house ship-shape. The deed f-or the four adjoining lots came one step closer to being ours when bonds were issued to members and alumni by the Alpha Zeta Association to raise money for the final transaction. Dad's week end was held February 1 and 2. Movies shown in the party room, a basketball game with Bradley University, pool tournaments, a Dad's Club meeting, and skits combined . made this Dad's Week End the most successful ever. Mr. Landsburg, Portland, was re-elected Dad's Club president. Girls calling . for their dates to the Mortar Board Ball (the grand "reversia" ball of the year) were greeted by our pseudo housemother, Don McClay. Fashionably outfited in his best feminine attire, "she" made certain that none of the boys were allowed out until their dates had filled out the correct questionnaire and made known their proper intentions. A formal banquet was held the Sunday after the Mortar Board Ball, the men had a great time showing their dates the house from basement to attic. Study lamps were turned off one week end while members and pledges alike concentrated on the rushing program . As a result, 45 high school seniors were signed up for Senior Week End next Spring term . Since many of these men will likely be pledged when they enter school for the Fall term, this should give us a head start on next year's rushing schedule. Preparations are proceeding at a rapid pace to make our Spring Rose Ball, scheduled for May 24, the "gala" event on the campus during the Spring term. Our ~thletic program for next term is also underway, several practices having been held in softball and soccer. ~Mel Larson, Historian

Chi's Spring semester rushing program is in full sway as this letter is being written. Both parties allotted to us by the Inter-Fraternity Council have been held, and both were huge successes. The date party, a shrimp boil, was held at Frierson's Playhouse in DeLand. The stag smoker was held at the frat house, with the chapter's officers and other prominent Pi Kapps giving the rushees valuable information and advice concerning fraternities in general and Pi Kappa Phi in particular.

House Drive Nears End Our new house drive is going into its final stages. Last semester's Archon, Bob Doty, is going on the road this month to visit our alumni in all sections of the state with information about the new house and bonds. Another intra-mural sports trophy will soon be added to the collection on our mantelpiece. Pi Kappa Phi won the intramural touch football championship, with six wins and one loss for the season. Congratulations are due to intra-mural manager Fred Conway and the whole team!

Pi Kappa Taking Leading Roles In Opera Chi chapter is well represented in the Stetson Glee Club's· upcoming production of the comic opera, Robin Hood. Both of the two leading male roles are sung by Pi Kapps. Bill Holi~y plays the part of Robin Hood, and Jack Coldiron is the Sheriff of Nottingham. Also in the cast are Gene Brasher and Dave Early, who alternate in the part of Little John. Pi Kapps also had an important part in the Religious Emphasis Week activities. Bernie Cochran was one of the two co-chairmen for the week, and Tom Mahaffey was publicity chairman. Other Pi Kapps serving on Emphasis Week committees are Jim Young, Jack Coldiron, Bill Holley, and Jim Dator.

Nine of Upsilon's pledges were sent over to Burnham hospital in Champaign at the close of "Hell-week," . . . but not because of any injuries received during the week. They were sent there on a good will mission to help clean up . The jobs ranged from scrubbing the operating room to cleaning the basement halls. The neophytes claimed that they liked it and that they would not mind doing it again. This was the first good will mission of the semester by any fraternity on campus. If the other 55 fraternities on campus continue the example started by Upsilon this year, Champaign-Urbana will probablY! be the cleanest cities in Illinois. John A. Henry, professor of mechanical engineering at the U. of I., was appointed to be our new chapter adviser. Since his initiation into ·P i Kappa Phi two years ago, Prof. Henry has taken an active interest in Upsilon. Our only graduating senior last semester was George Walker, son of Paul Walker, charter member and first archon of Upsilon chapter and present district archon. George, who has served as president of the Illinois chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, maintained a high scholastic standing, and has been cited as an outstanding journalism student. He received his Bachelor's degree in Journalism. At the traditional banquet honoring seniors late in the semester, George presented the chapter with a new kitchen clock. He gave it with special emphasis that the men who get up late for their 8 o'clocks might now make it to their classes on time.

Mid-semester pledges are Bob Smither, Bill Weber, Ed Howard, Joe Welch, and Ken McKiernan. They are all from Louisville, Ky. AU the members of Beta Gamma chapter are proud of their one year old Mother's Club who made it possible for them to have a splendid formal rush banquet this semester. The banquet was held in the University Student Union Building, and a turkey dinner with all the trimmings was served. The complete meal was prepared and served by our mothers. This is only one of the numerous ways in which the mother's club has been an asset to us. Seven brothers drove northward to the conclave at Illinois Tech in Chicago, but were disappointed inasmuch as they were unable to continue their journey because of heavy snows . A new house manager and pledge master have been elected for the coming semester. They are Bill Gorgas and Jim O'Leary, respectively. We are happy to announce that we have a newly formed Barber Shop Quartet. This quartet won the second place trophy in the all-campus Barber and Beauty Shop contest held March 5. The quartet made its debut recently by performing for the Daughters of the American Revolution in the Crystal Ballroom of the Brown Hotel. One of the honored guests was the Mayor ef Louisville, Hon. Charles Farnsley. Members of the quartet are Clark Scherer, first tenor; Leighton Crutcher, lead; Bon Herman, baritone, and Ed Howard, bass. The quartet which bad been in existrnce for about a month made a big hit and only missed first place by three points. The two numbers presented were "Blue Moon" and "Dry Bones." December 12 brought about a decisive change in the officers of Beta Gamma. Newly elected archon is Lee Dienes, who -il!

entering his fifth year in Engineering School. Other officers are as follows: treasurer, AI Weisbach; secretary, John Clements; historian, Clark Scherer; chaplain, Ray Parsons, and warden, Teddy Johnson. All Pi Kapps had a Merry Christmas this year with Brother Marvin Schaffner who arrived back from Korea on Christmas Eve. Marvin was a BAR man on the front lines his entire time in Korea. All members of Beta Gamma are proud of their new house mother, Mrs. Clark Scherer, whose son is now ' chapter historian. Since this is the first time any fraternity at the University of Louisville has adopted a house mother, other fraternities are starting to look our way. The dean of men is greatly pleased with our decision to have a hquse mother and believes that she will be a great asset to us in the future. -Clark H. Scherer, Jr., Historian

Alpha C~!

Alpha Chi Chapter started the semester off with a "bang by initiating four of its pledges, John Link, John McCloY• Earl Pressett, and Nathan P. Xanthos. New Chapter officers for this semester were recently installed, only to hear the "bad" news that we were losing our newlYd elected archon, Bob ("Bones") Steinhilber, to the arroe services. In keeping with the I.F.C. ruling here, banning Hell Wee~; Pi Kapp pledges have turned the word "Hell" into "lJeiP by doing odd-jobs in the local children's hospital and by doing other similar acts of kindness. Last year, two pledges of an?tber University of Miami fraternity were killed in a freak miShaP on a lonely road during a road trip. Since then most fraternitic~ here have ended their malicious practices and have becoro~ 1 more constructive in their aims. Let's keep up the good work.! Foundation plans are being set for the National Convenuon in August. As you knovi, Miami plays host to our "nation· wide" brothers. We send a friend ly and cordial invitation to each chapter to visit us. -John W. Usher, Historian 71'K<j>---

Sigma

The biggest thing in our social life lately was an alumni party held December 8, 1951, at the Wade Hampton Hotel. The most distinguished guest was National President Theron A. Houser. Alumni from as far away as Pennsylvania and Virginia were present. This party was a bang-up success. In the new election of officers Buster Brown was elected archon; Charlie Robinson, treasurer; Russell Stokes, secretary; Burton Bennett, historian; Hank Fulmer, chaplain, and Chuck Spann, warden. "Rabbit" Hare was appointed house manager and "Doodles" Munn, athletic representative.

In intramural sports our fraternity is the leading group on the campus. Here at the University of South Carolina these sports are important towards campus prestige, and we are proud of being the leader in this field. In touch football, the most popular of these sports, we were undefeated and untied and scored 123 points to our opponents' 25. At present our basketball team has gone undefeated. "Sugar" Chiles, our volley-ball coach, magnificently maneuvered his team to second place. New members are Don Robertson, Keith Kinard, Billy Creech, Jack Flynn, John Long, Billy Dogothetis, and Barron Sumner. -Burton Bennett, Historian ------

The boys here at the house have all been "up in the air" about our making the finals in "All Sing." Alpha Sigma had a quartet composed of Woody Kinnamon, Etowah, Tenn.; Wayne Gochenour, Arlington, Va .; Abe Hatcher, Knoxville, Tenn., and Billy Joe Prosser, Fayetteville, Tenn. The room adjoining the living room, formerly the Ping Pong room, is being remodeled into a smoking room. Working on the detail is one way of keeping the fellows in on these Spring days. To remodel the room it was necessary to plaster the brick wall on the north side. The rest of the room will remain the same. Wo::dy's mother gave us a rug for the room, and we are going to match it with some appropriate furniture. Spring will be here soon and everyone will be traveling. Why not come up and visit with us?
