Letters from Our Readers Denounces "Socialistic" Trend Editorial Dear Editors: I want to take up arms about the editorial which came out in the latest issue of The Star and Lamp. Maybe you did a good job on what you wrote, but it is quite evident from the article that yo u have a very distorted view on the young men of the nation today. Maybe it is that you are getting a little too old to understand the men of today and the tremendous problems they are forced to face. I beg to disagree with you on your opinion that the young men of today are filled with socialistic tendencies. How can you give a true opinion of the nation's young men when it is quite evident from your article that you haven't attempted to look at both sides of the picture. Today there is not one ltealthy boy in the country who does not have the draft to plague his mind constantly. From what you write in your article you must 路think that this is a great feeling. Tell me, is this something which a boy can look forward to with eager anticipation? Believe me, you'll have a hard time trying to convince anyone of this ll What we have been doing not only for the past two years but also for almost 20 years is running up a national debt which will never be paid off. The burden is now falling on the people, but it will be more of a problem to the people when the younger generation grows up than they could ever dream of at the present time. The present generation makes the debts, and we have to grow up and pay for something we had nothing to do with nor got any pleasure out of to our knowledge. It is very dis!usting even to think of such a dastardly thing. The young onea of the nation are a group of socialists, huh? They are definitely not, and maybe they would be better off if they were. You say they are but would never admit it. Have you made any national survey which would give you the right to print such a statement? So we are a group of socialists who just won't admit it, are we? Can you tell me what kind of government we arc living under at the present time? I doubt very seriously if you would even dare venture to try and answer this question. I know supposedly we live in tt democracy, but I ask you to look closely at the basic points on which a government of this sort is based and then tell me that we are at the present time a democracy. We don't have the advantages which it is supposed to offer, and any intelligent person is able to see this. There does not even exist free enterprise for the American people because the larger companies have such a monopoly on practically everything a man is able to do to make a living. There is hardly any occupation today that doei not require your belonging to a union in order to be successful. I think and know that you will have 11 bard time trying to convince the youth that they are any more socialistically minded than the elder generation of the country today. J think that if you look more closely you will find the youth of today are more educated than ever before and that they are not so easy to fool as everyone seems to think they are. You stated that they seem to expect the G. I. Bill after they get out of service in order to do many things and the big one to get their education. Haven't they given something to deserve this? They have given some of their best years and have been in danger of losing their lives all during the time they have been in the armed forces. Is it unfair that many boys who would normally not get an education be allowed to

go on and finish? No nation or power on earth could ever destroy us as long as we are educated for the better things in Jife including the best possible government. This is one of the biggest reasons why the nations of the world today arc subservient to the communists because they aren't educated to anything better. Also, please do not fail to overlook the fact that these boys know that they will pay for this G. I. Bill in the long run . We know that not only this but all the other government allotments come from the tax money of the people. I can tell you and believe me yo uth is not blind to this facl I can see why you would feel as you do on some of the points on which you wrote, but I also feel you were more wrong than right. The editorial sounded to me something which had been written by someone without too much thought. Personally the argument seems like one which could be easily debated and that is just what I am trying to do. 1 do hope that you will find time to sit down and analyze this letter and then to- write me a reply to it. I am verY interested in what you have to say to many of the point= I have tried to bring out. Fraternally yours,

De Cdi iss1 it.

States Rights Spirit Manifests Itself At National Convention

For some time I have been annoyed by your failure to conSider conditions peculiar to our chapter in the ratings issued Periodically by your office. Now you scribble over a financial report from me with a red pencil like a grade school teacher lllarking an exam, then send it back to the chapter. If you don't like my reports, send them back to me! As for a budget, we do not have one. We could set up a collection of pretty numbers to represent one, but we do not believe in such hypocrisy. Since the elimination of national dues, we have only one fixed expense, the rent. Once this is Paid, other minor expenses and an occasional major purchase of furniture are made on a cash basis-no money, no Purchase.

THE YOUNG MAN from an up-state New York chapter hoisted his standard at Pi Kappa Phi's National Convention in Miami in August and said, "I think that the undergraduate chapter should have more power and the National Office less power." Eighty-five per cent of the legislation at the National Convention was in the direction of securing the sovereignty of the subordinate unit. Much of the remaining legislation revolved around giving the individual more liberties and rights. The trend of the whole legislative program was toward decentralization.

Will Fight Communism To my mind, this trend is wholesome and significant of the American youth's awakening to the fact that he is limited in his movement and growth by the centralized organizations to which he belongs, each one having echelon upon echelon of authority. Though he has seen and appreciated the individual gains made as a result of cooperative efforts in the form of a live National Office, he is coming to value the most precious of his possessions-the dignity of the individual and the sovereignty of the chapter-even more. You may be sure that, in the same fashion, he will reject communism when the thing gets around to the point that it has enough immediacy for him to have more than a passive interest in it. It is heart-warming to see the undergraduate not placidly accepting "orders from above." He is willing to look into the orders and evaluate the person who wrote them. He says, "If we don't like the laws and the constitution, we will write new ones."

National Office Approves Trend How do I, as the National Executive Secretary of an organization which has a decentralization trend, look upon that trend? This is how. I believe the National Office, like any governmental executive office, should be advisory. informative, and a bearer of standards. It is not our portion to try to accrue unto ourselves power which should be in the hands of the governed. There is plenty of hope for a youth which will not permit itself to lose its right to govern itself.

The Story of iiBuster" Brown By W. BERNARD JONES, JR.

Mrs. Brown proved to be an attractive mother who acquitted herself admirably in subduing obvious and justifiable pride in her "Buster." She successfully evaded the age question by quipping, "People don t believe I am old enough to have a son in college-theY think he is my grandson." Close attentiveness t~ the needs and desires of our hero seemed to be hei predominant characteristic. "Buster" was not an entire stranger to me. In fact, the first time I ever saw him he was out on ~h~ front lawn. catching passes from his father, "Brown 1ed Brown, former All-Southern prep school fullback an University of South Carolina football player. The spirit of closeness between " Brownie" Brown and his two boys " Buster" and " Bennie," the latter a current high school football sensation, has been a marvel to everyone in little Bishopville.

We decided to study an officer from an average chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. We selected a man who was highly enough regarded by his chapter to be re-elected archon. He is "Buster" Brown of the University of South Carolina. A pre-dental student with average grades, he is a member of the varsity football team, and holds membership in ODK and KSK, honorary fraternities. In 1951, he coached his "Sigmans" to a campus intramural clean-sweep, winning championships in football, basketball, and softball. ~f-~a~~r~ ··

What does the fraternity leader do in high school? Well, "Buster" was secretary of the student body. In his senior year, he was voted the best all-around athlete while amassing four letters in football, baseball , basketball, and track. " Buster" was no help to the reporter in discussing his heart interests. but Mr. Brown reported regular " forays " on Hartsville, S. C., the home of Coker College and 2,000 co-eds. As we drove out of town , down the drowsy Main

~treet of Bishopville, past th~ high school where

Buster" cavorted as a fullback . we mulled over the conclusions we had reached in our study of the frater nity leader. We decided that the one outstanding thread running through his life was his love of people and their love for him. His every mark of achievement has been predicated upon this axiom: People are much more Interested in the heart of a leader than they are in his mind.

Hazard Reeves Gives Voice To Cinerama Movies THE SOUND RECORDING and reproduction sys路 tem of the much-heralded Cinerama movies which had their world premiere on Broadway September 30 was engineered by Hazard E. Reeves, Iota '24, Georgia Tech. Mr. Reeves, who heads Reeves Sound Studios, New York City, compiled an impressive record for electronic tricks during World War II. "We ail think it is going to be an exciting new experience in show business and we are very optimistic about it," Mr. Reeves told a reporter from this magazine as plans were being completed for the Broadway showing. "The project seems to have every earmark of being successful, and , of course. we do hope this wiiJ be the case."

AP Describes Effect of Showing An Associated Press report on the September 30 showing describes Cinerama's effect on the viewer as something like that experienced when one swoops down in a fairgrounds roller coaster, combined with the scenic effects of a modern picture production. The article refers to the pictures as three-dimensional. "The Cinerama film requires a cylindrical screen about six times the normal size of the usual movie screen," the story continues. "Theatre boxes must be moved out to accommodate it. The over-ail screen is 63 feet across the top curve and 23 feet high. "Although the screen is concave, the light reflections bounce off and disappear behind the screen so that it appears to be a flat, solid picture to the audience. "The sound tracks on the Cinerama film were recorded separately during the filming at seven widely separated positions for perfect synchronization. "If the audience sees a motorboat or an airplane darting across the widespread screen, they first hear the motors coming from off-stage as if they were actually where the camera is focused on the horizon. "The roar of the motor grows in intensity as the boat speeds onto the first visual side of the cylindrical screen. As the boat moves into the center, the sight of the boat and the sound of the motors are the same as if the audience was on the river bank only a few yards away," the article explains.

New Realism for Movies "Realism par excellence, thrills that either lift you right out of your seat or set you stiffening against its back, panoramic sight and sound which makes you an integral part of the action unfolding on the screenthese are the bases of the new Cinerama system of super-movies which might well provide the motion picture theatre with the blood transfusion which is so badly needed to arrest, possibly reverse, the gaiioping anemia which now afflicts the movies' economic body," so says an article entitled "Cinerama: SuperOF PI

Movies of the Future," which appeared in International Projectionist before the premiere. "Cinerama is the brainchild of Fred Waller formerly with Paramount Pictures, and designer 'of th-e famou Waller Gunnery Trainer which utilized a five~e~s camera and five projectors to show airplanes realIStically on a curved screen. The Cinerama threelens system is a simplified modification of the earlier set-up."

"Movies' Answer to Television" "I have looked at the movies ' answer to television whether the movies know it or not," Robert Ruark' syndicated writer, wrote about Cinerama in one of hi~ ~olu~ns ~efor~ Ci_nerama was shown to the public. Its mtroductwn mto the average movie theatre is as inevitable as the adoption of sound pictures." 7

Fates Divert "Would Be Medic" To Career in Education By RAMON F. SANCHEZ

JESSE TURNER BARFIELD, Alpha '32 , intended to be a doctor, but the fates decreed differently, and he entered another field. Now. at the age of 38 Mr. Barfield has moved far in the field of education. In September, 1948, after doing a considerable amount of teaching, Mr. Barfield became registrar of the new Pensacola Junior College at Pensacola, Fla. The rechanneling of hls plans from medicine to teaching was brought about in the early 1930's because of his financial situation. A year of teaching in a consolidated school at Molino, Fla., during 1935-36, with the next year spent as instructor in General Science and Biology at Pensacola High School, cemented his desire to remain in education. So, "back to school for additional training to prepare me better for my real vocation, " as the young educator put it.

e e e

Attends Columbia in Summers While teaching Biological Science, and on occasiou WBorld History, at the high school in Pensacola, Mr. arfield spent the Summers of 193 7 through 1940 at Columbia University Teachers College, at the end of Which time he received his Master of Arts Degree. As r~l basic training for the registrar position. he has his grade school and high school teaching behind him. These served as a sort of "growing-in" process. Of this period he says, "Finding that I liked to work with Young people I took an active part in sponsoring many of their extra curricular activities. The more I worked with them, planning their study programs, advising them in their problems, the more I was preparing myself for the job that was ultimately to be assigned lo me. In 1947 I became dean of boys at Pensacola lligh School and in 1948 I remained dean of boys and became registrar and instructor in Biological Science at Pensacola Junior College." The position of registrar at the Junior College is one of the two offices recognized by the State Attorney of Florida for such an institution, and the school itself is the first and only one which has so far met the requirements of the Minimum Foundation Program for the establishing of schools of junior college level. School Grows . The school has grown steadily from its i~c~ption tn 1948 with a student body of 125 to an antJctpated enrollment of 180-200 for the 1952-53 school year. Night classes have increased proportionally, enrollment having been about 150 students. The student body of the college is made up mainly of young men 0;:' PI

and young women from West Florida and southern Alabama, though other states and Hawaii and Alaska are represented. It is anticipated that the college will, in another year or so, have sufficient housing facilities on its own campus. At present the rented building in whicb the school is housed is well crowded. But the students are enthusiastic and have a great deal of loyalty and school spirit. No doubt a great deal of this has been rubbed off the registrar who amazingly finds time to look after many details and many students' problems. Mr. Barfield appreciates the freedom of thought and exercise of independence in a school in which he was "in on the ground floor." He points out that the main advantage of having thlrteenth and fourteenth grade levels in the public school system is that the faculty can "take students where they find them and through adjustments of curricula and the ajd of faculty counseling, bring them up to a standard comparable to sophomore level of four year institutions." This is the advantage and it is also Mr. Barfield's aim for each student who enters Pensacola Junior College.

Other Functions of College Are Named However, colleges such as this serve two other functions, as stated by Mr. Barfield. "1. They furnish a type of program in which the student. upon completion of the fourteenth grade is better prepared to go into the community served' by the college and earn a comfortable livelihood. "2. They furnish adult education that will meet the needs of the community vocationally, recreationally." Certainly Mr. Barfield, as an individual and as a part of this educational institution, with his philosophy of teaching, bas added to the desirability of the community from the point of view of both the outsider and the members of the community. And thus with this point of view and these aims as the 1952-53 school year begins, Mr. Barfield at the age of 38, begins his eighteenth year in education. Late in the Summer of 1940 he married Mary Anna Johansen of Pensacola. The Barfields are the parenti of three fine children, two of whom conquered attacks of polio in the Summer of 1950. The two boys are Clement who was eleven in October and Edward who will be ten in January. Carolyn was three in October. Mr. Barfield recalls that he entered Alpha Chapter at the College of Charleston when Alec Kroeg was a member and also recalls that his initiation fee was a birthday present that year. In 1934 he attended the Supreme Chapter in New York as the delegate of (Continued on Page 16) 11

ALMICRON WINS PRESIDENT'S PLAQUE . The President 's Plaque for the best chapter pubhcation issued during the past college year goes to Alpha Omicron, Iowa State College, for its Almicron. The Almicron was judged as having " presented more news and pictures of interest to members, alumni , and Parents than any of the other publications," according to a statement issued by the judging committee. " Most or it is fairly well written and one does not lose in~erest. It has a goodly amount of alumni news, an 11llportant feature of a publication of this kind . . "Members, parents, and alumni are interested in httle newsy notes and as many photos of a candid type as possihle. Size should be flexible, and news coverage should be flexible. Cost of the publication should be kept in mind. "If the Epsilonian of Epsilon, Davidson, were better Written it would be the committee's first choice. It has a good balance, plenty of alumni news, an outstanding, Positive editorial policy and a good-looking sheet. Criticism of this publication is that one finds himself losing interest in some of the stories because they are too wordy. It lacks short, snappy stories. :'Alpha Taux of Alpha Tau. Rensselaer, is the best Wntten and best organized publication of all. Good, straight-forward writing. It does lack the candid camera appeal and should have 10 or 12 short items ir each issue'to dress it up and add reader interest. "

his life savings. Each of the women worked until her age prevented. The ever increasing living costs soon found them in need of assistance, but they were too ~roud to ask for help. Through a member of 'My arnily' we learned about them, and they are now receiving help with their groceries each week, and arrangements for all the other services they will need have been taken care of by 'My Family' members in ~~e nearby shopping center. This is giving this proud tttJe family the help they deserve, for the remainder 0 f their lives. These services include, and all free: Shoe repairs, shampoo and hair sets, groceries, laundry, and some drug store items. For entertainment they have automobile rides, free admissions to the Illation picture theatres, and 'My Family Boys Club' of the city will also continue to cut their lawn, trim the hedges, and plant and maintain their flowers as dues to their club. Since clothing, shoes, dry cleaning and almost every service is already available. being given to 'My Family,' Inc., these elderly ladies are becoming make believe aunts, mothers, etc., to the lllernbers who supply the materials and services."

~ F PI KAPPA PHI

The Almicron of Alpha Omicron Chapter at Iowa State College, winner of the 1952 President's Plaque for the best chapter publication in Pi Kappa Phi, is produced by multilith, an offset process. The pages of this publication are 8V2 by 11 inches.

Many pictures, giving glimpses of activities participated in by "My Family," were included in one of the scrapbooks which Mr. and Mrs. Havis brought to The Star and Lamp office. The other scrapbook contained clippings of stories of the " My Family" program and related material.

Most of Life Spent as Engineer Most of Mr. Havis's life since he was graduated from Georgia Tech in 1920 was spent as an engineer. Mr. Havis recalled for The Star and Lamp reporter that soon after graduation he was employed with Sam E . Finley, an asphalt paving contractor, and that in their. spare ti~e, es~ecially in the Winters, they worked wtth the chtldren s homes, old people in institutions etc. Then upon Mr. Finley's death Mr. Havis started his ?wn newspaper published by his company, Service Engmeers.. and called the newspaper Service Gram News. Two years ago he closed his paper to devote all his time toward organizing " My Family," Inc. When Mr. Havis closed the second scrapbook he brought the conversation to a close by saying that he and Mrs. Havis were on their way to New York with the hope that they would be able to go on a 'radio program with their story of "My Family." 17
