Letters from Our Readers BETA GAMMA PLEDGE GETS "SORORITY BID" Lot1isville, K'Y. Dear Brother ]ones: Brothers, we're still reeling from the Conference! My brothers and I have never spent a more enjoyable week end and yet learned so much. I just wish that all the Beta Gamma's could have been there. I know that they all would be better fraternity men for the experience.

We were so fired up by the Conference, that, believe it or not, when we got back to campus Monday morning, we went out and pledged two new men and lined up three more!

Having discovered that you are one to enjoy a bit of humor, I can't refrain from telling you this. One of our new pledges received a very singular honor the other day. It seems that this man's first name is Gail, and he received no less than three bids to join national sororities! We told him that he was crazy to accept our bid when he had an offer like that.

Thanks again for a wonderful time at the Conference.

F. ARNOLD GREVER, Sec. Beta Gamma University of Louisville

SPENDS "GREAT" SEMESTER WITH ALPHA EPSILON San Antonio, Texas Dear Editors: After transferring from Duke to Florida, spent one great semester with Alpha Epsilon before joining the Air Force in January, '51. As an instructor at Lackland AFB, I ran into quite a few Pi Kapps in my classes.

On January 10, 1953, I married Carolyn McGinley, a!S from Daytona Beach, who was a Phi Mu at the UniversitY Florida. We like it here in San Antonio very much althoui we're a long way from a Pi Kapp Chapter. For the past P months I've been going to school at Trinity UniversitY h~ in San Antonio and will receive my B.S. in Business Adllli istration in August. Then after 17 more months in the j..

Force, Carolyn and I hope to be home in Daytona Beach· I really do enjoy reading The Star and !AtnP· It • well written, well assembled, and full of interesting news. '11 feature articles provide the touch that makes it tops aJ11°~ fraternity publications. Sincerely,

National HeadquartersIs It Necessary?

AT

THE 1952 NATIONAL CONVENTION in Miami, Fla. a keen and thinking delegate from 0 t~e of Pi. Kappa Phi's better chapters arose and asked Ne .quesuon, "Why is it necessary for us to have a 0 /~tonal J:Ieadquarters?" Since that question is as~ed 'IVha: occasiOnally, it behooves us to sit down and dectde the facts in the case are. ·

1.

~ real problem is defining the degree of centrali_zatlon ll,lost effective for local and national operatton from a cost and an operational point of view. The tendency at the national level is to try to get mo.re money to give more services because local u~tts ar~ always insisting upon more services. In re~l.tty, t~ts creeping centralization (known in poltt~cal Ctrcles as "creeping socialism") is ~he very ~h~ng We decry so bitterly in our nattonal. p~ltttcal structure. It is a thing we want to avotd m the operation of our fraternity. Fortunately, the lack of funds forces us to remain decentralized to a happy degree.

2 · The potato farmers of America favored price and Production controls until the time came when there were reams of forms to be prepared and agents to whom accountability must be given. In the final analysis they want freedom, and they can do Without the benefits of socialistic controls. So it is with Pi Kappa Phi. Direct cont~ols over ch~p­ ters. would necessarily be a compamon to gettJnfS nattonal aid in tangible forms. That would not sutt local organizations. .

3 · ~ Study of any federated group of local organizat~ons such as churches, trade organizations, educattonal groups, and fraternal groups will reveal that none holds together very long unless it has so~e type . of permanent central headquarters to prov_tde ~onttnuity, dissemination of information on. p~ltcy, tdea clearance, and management in disctpltnary matters.

4 · ~he_ real trick is to keep such a headquarters fu~c­ tton~ng in an advisory capacity in most areas whtle servmg in a supervisory capacity in some fe':" areas which demand direct supervision. The vanable factors in the division of these functions are PI kAPPA PHI

income, the need for supervtston, and the desire for supervision. As an example, we are merely advisory when aiding a chapter purchase a house if the chapter is doing its own financing. If national funds are being used, obviously, the function is supervisory as well as advisory.

5. A forever-with-us Characteristic of this type of operation is the fact tha.t the currently go?d organizations supply us wtth the money whtle the currently poor organizations supply us wi~h ~he problems. The result is that the good organtzatton is sore because it is not getting its money's worth.

That group can not imagine what on earth the national office is doing with its money. The poor organization is so engrossed in its own sad plight and wondering why the national office doesn't do more that it hasn't time to appreciate what is be. ing done for it.

We attempt to draw no conclusions.

Key to Successful Living JOHN DAILEY IS PRESIDENT of the Pi Kappa Phi chapter on the University of Washington campus. We wonder if he realizes )~st ~ow much of the ingredients of success he exhtbtts m the letter which follows. We wonder if he knows that innate in him is the No. 1 quality of success-a quality which is superior to and apart from the acquisition of academic knowledge. We wonder if he ~nows he is exhi~it~ng qualities which s~ould be the objeCt of Pledge Trammg programs. He wntes: "July 18, 195 3 "Dr. Henry Schmitz, President University of Washington Seattle 5, Washington "Dear Dr. Schmitz: "I want to confirm that proverb: 'A friend in need is a friend indeed!

''I'm thinking most especially of last school year. Our membership was 'down'-only our hopes were 'up.' We went to the Office of Student Affairs. There we found a friend.

Double Jet Ace, . Captain Harold Fischer He Is Held by. Communist Captors after Being Shot Down on His Seventieth Mission in Korean War CAPT. HAROLD E. FISCHER, Alpha Omicron '46, Iowa State College, has not yet been released by the Communists into whose hands he fell when his F-86 Sabrejet was shot down over enemy territory April 7 on his seventieth mission in the Korean war.

Two days after Captain Fischer was shot down, the Chinese Red radio at Peiping claimed that he was captured after being shot down over Manchuria.

"Strange Ceremony" Just before Captain Fischer of Swea City, Iowa, took off on his seventieth mission, a "strange ceremony" was performed, according to a srory released by Gordon Gammack, Korean correspondent with the Des Moines Register and Tribune.

"Pilots lifted their bright yellow caps, bowed slightly roward Lt. Dick Knowland of Goshen, Mass., and held their caps over their hearts.

"Knowland was going to be Fischer's wing man and this mock gesture of sympathy always was extended ro pilots about to fly the double ace's wing. It meant thisFischer, the kindest, quietest guy in the world until he cook after Red MIG's, then was like a ferocious tiger, stOpping at nothing until he kiUed. D anger always rode . with Fischer on a MIG prowl, and his wing men had to share it."

General Compliments Fischer Correspondent Gammack s1id that he flew ro Fischer's base with Lt. Gen. Gleen 0 . Barcus, Fifth Air Force commander, the day Fisher took off on that last mission. En route the general said of Fischer, "I don't know when I've known a finer young man."

The story of Fischer's ill-fated flight over North Korea, as related to Mr. Gammack by Knowland, is as follows : "We were eager to get some MIG's-we hadn't had any for some time. Four of us spotted two MIG's.

"Fischer and I rook after them while our other two planes gave cover. We got behind them but not close enough to do any damage.

"Our other two planes found something else. Hal and I prowled around looking for more MIG's. We sighted two more. One got lost in the haze, but Fischer went after the other one. He went into a violent maneuver, and I lost him in the haze.

"I called him on the radio, told him we were separated.

"He yelled back emphatically, 'Get out, get out!' 'fh· meant for me to go home. Usually Hal was calm ~O· easy when giving orders, but not this time. He 111~~ have been in bad trouble. I didn't hear from him aga'~

"Flying With Hal Was

~omething"

"Then I started getting chased myself. Some Ml~: got on my tail and I was d - - lucky to get out. Flylo. with H al was something. Like hanging on to the end d a rope in a game of crack-the-whip."

"There were tears in the eyes of some of Fischer'! friends," Mr. Gammack said.

Fischer's squadron commander, Lt. Col. · Geo!~ Ruddell, tommented, "He was the nicest, quietest g~' you ever knew. Unless he was talking combat, you• never guess he was a tiger. He'd get so close to th~ MIG's he'd come back with pieces of MIG's on h plane. He got so close that when they exploded moltl metal would stick to his ship."

''I've been in the Air Force for 11 years, but for Jll, • , money Captain Fischer was the best," so said Fischer flight chief, Robert Hodges, Covington, Ky. "Just aboti every day he'd come out and look at his plane. He'd sal 'Isn't she a beauty?' 'Paper Tiger,' he called her.

"The day he got back from getting his tenth ?JIG the nose of his ship was black. I figured that mean~ MIG had exploded close ro him. Then I saw hi~ grinning, and he looked jubilant. He held up bO hands-ten fingers, ten MIG's. Boy, I sure hope he ger out somehow."

He Never Complained "H e was so kind to me," Gerald Larkowski, Danot brog, Nebr., Fischer's crew chief said. "The first tillle met him he shook hands like we'd known each orh~ for a long time and said, 'Glad to know you, fella. ~~ work together, and I think I'll have more MIG's. never had a complaint."

Bill Barmrd of the Associated Press, who intervie\\'~ Fischer about two weeks before his last mission, sa~ "Of all the pilots I've interviewed, Fischer was 1 nicest. His eyes really brightened when he talked :~b~ life on his Iowa farm. He was more anxious to 19 about winning first place with a brown steer at ~ Kossuth County Fair than destroying MIG's."

Fischer had signed for 25 more missions. This «' 25 more than the standard 100 for Sabre pilots. Bef~ he began flying Sabres with the 51st Fighter Wing. · had flown 105 missions in sl(')Wer F-80 Shooting scan THE STAR AND L~

She describtrn as "always a very quiet and unassuming sort of

Captain Fischer, who was assigned ro rhe U. S. Air Force 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing when he was downed, was born in Lone Rock, Iowa, May 8, 1925.

His pilot training began at Randolph AFB, Texas, and his advance flight training course was completed at Williams AFB, Ariz. In 1950 he went to Nellis AFB, Nev., for jet training, and in March, 1951, he received overseas orders.

Captain Fischer's first Korean assignment was with the 8th Fighter Bomber Wing. With the 8th Wing he completed 105 successful combat missions flying F-80 Shooring Scars. In December, 1951, he was trans·· ferred to the Far East Air Forces personnel classification section as a personnel officer. In September, 1952, Captain Fischer volunteered for a second tour of duty in Korea, this time expressing a desire to fly F-86 Sabrejers.

Devereux D. Rice Memoria l This Fund, Honoring a "Dynamic, A:sgressive" President, Grows Rapidly, Helping More and More Chapters to Buy Hou.<Jes

By W. BERNARD JONES, JR.

JN THE SUMMER OF 1948, on the floor of a Pi Kappa Phi national convention, J. Eugene Dunaway, Jr., long-time Pi Kappa Phi enthusiast and Tappan Stove Company's perennial national champion salesman, arose and proposed that Pi Kappa Phi begin some kind of an endowment program for the building of Pi Kappa Phi homes. It was his idea to have a portion of each Pi Kappa Phi initiation go into this fund. His belief and enthusiasm in such an idea was so strong that he made a cash donation which even today represents approximately 7 per cent of the money put into th e fund.

Part of Initiation Fee Goes into Fund The convention of .that day acted upon Dunaway's idea and it became a reality. Five dollars of each initiation fee is set aside for this fund. It has grown beyond the fondest dreams of the f Onventioners of that day.

The fund was named The Devereux D. Rice Memorial Fund in honor of one of Pi Kappa Phi's most dynamic and aggressive presidents, Devereux D. Rice, Johnson City, Tenn., whose meteoric career was cut short by an untimely death at the age of 48.

John D. Carroll, Sigma '10, and N ational President in the early years of Pi Kappa Phi, was selected to head a committee to form a trust fund suitable to accommodate the objectives of the fund. This was done with the happy result that contributions might be made to the fund, tax exempt. Following the formation of this trust, Brother Carroll was chosen to head the trust body designated to be custodian of the Devereux D. Rice Memorial Fund.

Committee Represents All Parts of USA Knowing that demands upon the fund would be nation-wide and that money for investigative purposes would be almost non-existent, the National Council decided upon a policy of selecting committeemen from the four corners of the U. S. A. that they might do local Investigative work.

0 . Forrest McGill, Rho '21, Washington and Lee, general manager in charge of the South Central Home Office Mortgage Loan and Real Estate Investment Operations, Jacksonville, Fla., for the Prudential Life Insurance Company, was chosen to be treasurer of this trust.

Brother McGill brings to this office almost 30 years in the mortgage loan field.

The issue patterned after Life magazine was the best single entcy in the contest, although strict judging would have cut down on points on news content which tended to be general rather than specific.

Carlos (Charles) Weber, Alpha Zeta '26, Oregon State College, right, who is now agricultural director of a mission college in Uruguay, is extending congratulations to Edgar Grimes, Harrisburg, Ore., dairy· man. Mr. Grimes had just learned that the cow shown here has set a state alltime record for butterfat production in Holstein advance registry. The cow, Dupine Carnation Cascade Flo, is mother of a calf which Grimes donated to Weber's college year before last.

Bull Boosts International Relations Alumnus, Teaching in Uruguay, Hails Gift of Oregon State Classmate

.A LITTLE BULL boosts good relations between

the United States and Uruguay. At least that is what Charles J. Weber, Alpha Zeta '26, Oregon State College, thinks.

Mr. Weber, or rather Senor Carlos Jose Weber as he is now known, expressed this opinion when he was back in the United States last year on Sabbatical leave from the Institute Advenrista del Uruguay, where he is agricultural director. Before accepting his position in Uruguay, he was 4-H Club agent in Portland for 14 years.

Attired in flaring "bombachas" (pants), a wide "faja" (sash), and a white silk shirt, and accompanied by his 15-year-old daughter, Nancy, Senor Weber visited Edgar Grimes, Harrisburg, Ore., dairyman, at his ranch and thanked him for the Holstein bull calf he gave the Uruguayan college the preceding year. The calf made news when he took to the air for the trip from Oregon to Progreso, Uruguay.

Weber Reports On Gift On Senor Weber's visit he reported to Mr. Grimes that the calf arrived safely and was greeted by a larger crowd at the .airport than usually comes out to see 8

celebrities arnvtog in rhe country. The reception pM~ included a representative from Uruguay's depa~e~ of agriculture and other government and airline off1Cl~ Uruguay has experienced a great movement in d~t~ herd improvement since the last war, Senor Weber rt 01 ported. He pointed our that top quality purebred ~ mals from the United States are in such great dellla0.'. that ranchers and milk cooperatives pay as high • $20,000 for a single sire.

Much of Uruguay is grasslands country, and a P1(t gressive dairy industry has been established there. j.~ proximately half of the 2,300,000 people in the counr are engaged in agriculture. The principal products a~ meat and hides, wool, flax, wheat, and other cereals. ~· said that the climate in Uruguay is similar tQ. th3C et Oregon and that the country can grow oranges as « as apples.

Lengthening of School Time "Impractical" "Brother McClain well asks the question: 'How many lawyers who have practiced 5 to 10 years could do all these things with real competence?'

By R. T. CRAWFORD, JR. Epsilon

WITH THEIR OWN LAWRENCE ERWIN taking the lead as IFC President, Epsilon Chapter, D avidson, went all the way last year to help make a new Greek Week of the traditional pre-initiation Hell Week.

The progr~m of events lasted for three days, beginning Tuesday, February 10, and featured a number of com路路 munity service projects. This was the second year for Greek Week on the Davidson campus. The initial program was so successful and profitable that both faculty and students wanted to try it again.

AU Fraternities Participate All 11 fraternities and the Campus Club took part in the activities. A fitting climax to the training of Epsilon's 15 pledges, Greek Week presented an opportunity for the fraternities to do something for others and to cement the fellowship and friendly relations among the pledge classes and fraternities as a whole.

Tuesday afternoon, Epsilon's pledges joined in a canvass of the entire Davidson community to obtain books (Continued on Page 14) ()

Her full year's record was 23,097 pounds of milk and 814.7 pounG!s of butterfat. The average Oregon cow produces less than 300 pounds of butterfat annually. The cow, Dupine Carnation Cascade Flo, was seven years, seven months old at the start of her test.

Mr. Grimes and Senor Weber agreed that announcement of the record of the mother just about doubled the value of the bull in Uruguay.

Senor Weber to~d Dan Wyant, staff writer on the Register-Guard, Portland, Ore., that Mr. Grimes donated the valuable animal to the college as a "good neighbor" gesture.

Such A Gift Is "Passport" A gift like that is a "passport to the hean" of the people of Uruguay, Senor Weber declared.

"Too often Americans abroad bring the wrong impression to the people of other countries," he said, "even though we're the most generous' people in the world.

Something like what Ed Grimes has done goes more toward establishing good relations with other people than anything I know."

"'This little city will be a long time finding someone who will take the place of "Dr. Steele." ' Those words, heard from the lips of many, many residents who knew him, express more than any words that I can write, the life and chsracter of WiJJigm Steele Dendy," Dr. Charles N. Wyatt, Alpha '21, Greenville, said in a letter to The Star and Lamp. "He was loyal, sincere, hard-working, interested in his fellowman, devoted to a profession in which he had been reared. He never questioned the ability of a person to pay, only the urgency of the need of his services. This feeling of service, and the desire to be of service, unquestionably hastened his untimely death.

"Anything that involved Pi Kappa Phi, definitely involved Steele Dendy," Dr. Wyatt declared. "He was a loyal academic brother, an interested alumnus, and always ready to help personally and financially in any way that would advance the cause of the fraternity. His loyalty has always been a stimulus ro the members of Delta Chapter at Furman University because no matter what the occasion, if support was needed, Brother Steele was always ready and willing to respond."
