Letters from Our Readers Convention Gives "New Meaning" to Fraternity

P. 0. Box JO.l Lmtrel, MiJs.

Dear Brother ]011es: Words can't express or measure the enjoyment and value that the Psi Chapter delegation derived from the 25th Supreme. Chapter meeting. Up until now, "national" and its officers were remote and really didn't concern us, but seeing the Supreme Chapter in session, sitting around in the night bull sessions, watching our national officers at work, and "living" the Fraternity gave it new meaning for all of us . . .

Thank you very much for your part in making national and the Fraternity itself come alive for us. Fraternally,

Dear Brother ]o11es: l wane to take this opportunity to thank you and Pi Kappa Phi for The Star and La1np. It haS really done a lot to cheer me up the past year. You see, for the past 11 monrhs I have been a patient at the Veterans Hospital at Biloxi and Jackson, Miss. I had to have one kidney removed , and an emergency operation on the other one.

I am out now, but don't know for ho~ long. My father brought my copies to me at the hospital, and I read thern over sometimes three or four times, and read every article.

While I am writing this letter, I will tell you of a verY unfortunate brother. His name is Jack C. Hearn, who was initiated in Omicron Chapter about 1945. He later trans· ferred to Howard College in Birmingham, Ala., and becallle affiliated with Alpha Eta Chapter, later serving the chapter as archon. He was frostbitten in the early part of the :Korean Campaign, but he came back to finish his education, an.d received his degree in Pharmacy. Just after finishing hiS school work, he started having trouble with his legs again· He has spent almost all the last three years in the Veterans Hospital in New Orleans, and has had his left leg amputated just below the knee. He is now living in Mobile, Ala., and is working for Town Drugs, Inc. He lives on Jones ,A.ve., but I don't know the exact address, he is from AlberrviJl~, Ala. I know he would appreciate a visit from anyone of hiS many friends and brothers who may happen to be passin.g through Mobile.

Brother Theo Massey, who lives at 7805 Fourth Ave., S., Birmingham, Ala., is still confined to his wheel chair. Since he is a paraplegic, he would like for any brothers who Me in this vicinity to drop by for a visit.

Attgust 19, 1954 Dear Brother ]ones: The Convention that is coming up really sounds great. It would be a pleasure to be there for such an important occasion; of course, it is impossible while being stationed out here on the Eniwetok "Rock." Since being here I have found four brothers of the Fraternity who are interested in the clock that the Pi Kapps are giving to the Mother College. As we are in the Army we couldn't send much, but each of us is sending a contribution with the wish it were more. We know that the Convention will be a great success and ask you to pass on our best wishes to the delegates. Fraternafiy yours, HARVEY L. BRITT, Alpha Sigma '50 University of Tennessee CHARLES L.

In the end, it primarily affects the pledge group. lf a pledge happens to be around when certain so-called brothers are entertaining such critical discussion he immediately begins co wonder why the pledges' are being caught such phrases as the "Jaws of brotherhood" or "the duties of a brother," when the brothers themselves fail to abide by them. Under such conditions the idealistic phrases the pledges are being taught ar~ empty words, having no meaning in the chapter at all.

The pledge. should chen leave the fraternity, and find another whtch fully comprehends the meaning of che word "brotherhood." If he doesn't depledge, he'll become a brother and soon will be enveloped in the web carrying on where the others left off. ' . It cakes only one brother to scare ic, and eventually It. plagues the whole chapter. This whole thing contradtcts some of the very. reasons why the fraternity was founded. Along the vem of brotherhood, the fraternity was founded for. the ~urpose of ~orking and playing together harmomously m an organtzed family and demonstrating loyalty at all times to one another. Some of. the dut~es of a ~rocher are to cake an active pare in thts organtzed famtly and to be ever vigilant of the forces working coward irs disintegration.

If you are guilty of criticizing in a malicious or derogarory manner for the purpose of impressing ochers for some othet; personal gain, or for any ocher reason: you have no nghc co take pare in the fraternal system nor to the honor of being called a "brother." '

George Everson, who conducted this column for two years in his capacity as Sun sports writer, slipped quietly over the abyss from which there is no return, after a game but losing five-months' fight against the ravages of lung cancer.

He had known for several weeks that there was but little chance of his recovery. He had accepted this verdict of finality with philosophic calm but with accompanying courageous determination to give it the ro~ghesr- kind of battle before conceding defeat. ~ i'linally' forced to yield because the odds were too greaf,"he left in dignity and with no cause for apology or aliBi on how he had played out the string.

It would be excusable chronicling here, because in obituary reporting one is permitted wide latitude in accent on the superlative, to say that journalism had lost a brilliant, outstanding sports reporter.

''boarders" to the fraternity house who later became Pledges.

Among the men who came into the fraternity during the first year and who are dear to the heart of Mother Mac were Bill Boyd Forest Goettsch, Bill Crawmer, Jirn Carsons, and Pet~r Cuff. She says that all of th~se b~ys did much for the fraternity and that truly lasti~g fnendships were formed among the bo,rs present m ~he house during this first year.

Integration of "Old" and Postwar Boys

Bill Carey was the third president. He had a different Problem in that by the Fall of 1946 there w~r: so l!lany of the "old" boys returning that it was a d1fftcult task to mold the two groups together. Those of us Who know Mother Mac realize how much help and encouragement she gave to Bill Carey as he tackled the problem of amalgamating the prewar membt;rs With the postwar members and leading the fraternity on to greater accomplishments.

One of the finest tributes that can be ascribed .to anyone is that he maintains the respect of those w~th Whom he works. This has certainly been the case w1th t.fother Mac. Never during the eight years that we Were privileged to have her as our housemother .has any of our alumni group, including the. fa:ulty advtser, ever heard one word against her.. -r:h1s Js. an almo~t Unbelievable accomplishment, and tt JS a h1gh comphtnent both to Mother Mac and to the young men upon Whose lives she has had such a fine influence.

"Stretching and Searching"

1

Mother Mac describes the second year of her tenure at Pi Kappa Phi as a year of "stretching and searching" -- stretching the red points and sugar stamps and searching for some place to buy meat. She drove ?er 0 Wn personal car hundreds of mi~es in o~der t~ fmd good quality meat. She recalls, wtth a twmkle.. m he;, eye, how the boys and she lived mostly on Spam. t.fother Mac is credited with having a real knack for Working with cooks. During the eight. years she :vas With us she was in charge of meal plannmg and .buymg for the commissary. There was never any question but that the cooks we hired and Mother Mac would get along famously. And Mother Mac has credited Mrs. Green and Mrs. Lee, our present cook and her predec~s颅 sor with not only being very fine cooks but also fme infiuences on the boys who worked in the kitchen .. On numerous occasions, she has told me that she bel1eve~ We have been the "most fortunate house on campus as far as the kitchen is concerned. And of course those Who know Mother Mac realize that a large part of the success of our kitchen was her statesmanlike condua and her depth of personality which made it easy for ClF

cooks as well as fraternity men to aspire to do their best under her direaion and counseling.

"Sound Growth and Development"

I am sure that there are few fraternity chapters in the nation who have made a more genuinely sound growth and development in an eight-year period than has been the case with Alpha Omicron. Today with nearly 50 members, and with a strong pledge class, Alpha Omicron is an outstanding chapter. At one and the same time during 1952-53, we had the President of the entire student body, the President of Cardinal Key (men's all college honorary), and the President of five departmental clubs as members of our house. We have had high grades and we have been very active socially. In every one of these areas where we have excelled, Mother Mac has been our strongest booster. She has given suggestions freely and the boys have always taken them good-naturedly and followed them. By her own admission, she has told me that not one of the boys has ever been discourteous to her. And with that twinkle in her eye and that soft pleasant voice she has explained that "each boy is different and each one has been dear to me in his own way."

"Mother Mac" Keeps Bulletin Board

One of the hobbies which has meant most to Mother Mac was the keeping of a bulletin board on which she placed piaures of all of the boys in the house.

Later on when they were married and when they had children the pictures of them went on this bulletin board. It was a huge affair and she took great pride in showing it to everyone who visited her. She told me: "When I look at my bulletin board, I am so proud of every one of them. All of them are doing so well most are married and are having their families building their homes and doing a good job of it. Not one has been divorced - I think that is quite a record."

In a recent letter to me Mother Mac has this to say, "The letters I have received from my 'old' boys this past month will always be among my dearest possessions. I shall always be interested in the future of all my boys, and I never want to lose touch with any of them. I want always to be Mother Mac to my boys." She goes on to say, "Then tOo, I shall always be interested in the future of Pi Kappa Phi. I do hope that you can soon start to build a new house--however I have always been more interested in the contents of the house-that the boys who are pledged have high standards and that they will always strive for the better things in life."

Members Are "Heartbroken"

It is no secret among the pledges, members, and alumni of Alpha Omicron that we are heartbroken at Mother Mac's leaving us, but the college is able to pay her a considerably higher salary than we were able to pay. She will actually have fewer responsibilities in that the food service will be entirely outside of the area of her duties. All of us wish her the "very best" in her new job, and we know that she will be successful. It is no exaggeration to say that Mother Mac was known and recognized as being the most successful (Contitmed on Page 12) 11

Michigan Chapter Builds Fund In this day of high costs and small net return, a recent financial report on Alpha Theta, Michigan State College, is newsworthy.

The firm who audited the chapter's books for the period, September 23, 1953, to July 31, 1954, pointed out that the chapter "is in excellenr financial condition" and suggested that it deposit $2,500 in the East Lansing Savings and Loan, thereby increasing the chapter's Building Sinking Fund co over 4,000..

The report reveals further that raw food cost is under the budget for the year and that room and board brought a small profit co the chapter's coffers. Since board and room in the college dormitory was $220 lase year, the auditors recommended that board at the chapter house be increased during the coming year to $155.

Charles Bovay, East Lansing, Mich., is chapter adviser.

Kenneth Bellinger, Dearborn, Mich., who is district archon of District X, works closely with Mr. Bovay and the chapter.

"We had a very well-behaved crowd," was the prompt reply. "The fraternity had an unusual record, probably because the law students made an older group."

Carroll Delivers Dedicatory Address At Clock Presentation Ceremonies "THIS IS A PROUD OCCASION. How justly may we swell with pride at the record of accomplishments and growth, growth in numbers, growth in numerical strength and in finances, growth in organization, growth in influence, growth in service." Thus said John D. Carroll, Sigma '10, University of South Carolina, of lexington, S. C., as he addressed the National Convention in Charleston on the occasion of the presentation of the Pi Kappa Phi clock to the College of Charleston. Mr. Carroll is a Past National President of the Fraternity.

"This is a glad occasion by reason of the fact that we have these two founders here w share it with us; but deify them though we may, when we have the opportunity to mingle with them as here, to observe the examples they set for us, we nevertheless come to realize that they are but human even as you and I and that in this organization the chief difference between them and us is that it was they who developed the idea that brought us together.

"If it be true," Mr. Carroll continued, "that small minds discuss people and average minds discuss events and great minds discuss ideas, then measured by that standard alone, our founders qualify as great minds.

These men did not conceive the idea of brotherhood.

That was done long ago by one who lived to make brothers of all races of men and whose brief span of 33 years was wholly devoted to unselfish service, who sotid, 'He who would be greatest among you let him be servant of all.'

"Brotherhood Pays Dividends" "But they recognized the fact that brotherhood pays dividends and, the most significant, they did something about it. Perhaps what they did was not as original as Franklin and his kite, nor as startling as the Wright brothers in their first airborne flight, nor as brilliant as Edison and his lamp, nor as electrifying as Marconi's wireless; but they put their thoughts inro action. How much poorer in many ways our lives would have been today had they not done ir.

"They knew something of the devastation and death caused by the lack of brotherhood in our own nation.

This city bore evidence of it. Their fathers had heard the warning of the bells of St. Michael's. They had listened to the booming guns of Fort Sumter. Then they had gone away from home to fight their own countrymen. How this has been repeated many times during our lives throughout the world, all for the lack of brotherhood.

"Environment induces thought," Mr. Carroll declared.

"To you who know the environment and the influence of this institution and to you who for the first time are becoming acquainted with it, it will not seem 16

Founder L. Harry Mixson, left, National President Theron A路 Houser, center, and Past National President John Carroll stopped reminiscing long enough to pose for this picture.

strange that some of those enrolled here as students fifty years ago should have become obsessed with the idea that brotherhood would foster understanding and would enhance companionship, that they had the moral energy and the courage to put their ideas inro action, and that thus was born our Fraternity.

"So it seems to me especially firring that in thiS fiftieth year of our existence, while revering the meJ11路 ory of our deceased founder, we are privileged r.o express our gratitude to our living founders that thetr thoughts and actions were translated into the nucleus of the Fraternity that we love and serve, that we are permitted by this great institution to commemorate that event by placing a clock on its campus, already adorned by the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Gate.

"Had a sundial been selected, it could have marked none but the sunny hours; bur the relenrless movement, moment by moment, minute by minute, hour by hour. through night as well as day, through storm as weU as sunshine, through good fortunes and bad, as tiJlle marches on, is best and most faithfully recorded by a clock.

"Where Is Time Marching To?" "Where is time marching to?" the speaker asked.

"The answer is for you and others like you here in this meeting, in your own chapters, in your homes, out in the busy walks of life. It is individual and collective.

It will not be controlled as much by what you think as what you do. If your faith is sufficient, your futur_e is secure; but remember that faith without works tS dead.

George always did his best. A Rice, Parker, Corum or Considine can claim no more.

Thrown into that rugged field of journalism where the boys often take forays into the areas of the uninhibited, George eschewed all the questionable habits sometimes associated with the typical sports writer.

He Takes Charitable View He neither smoked nor drank, and if he ever resorted to understandable profanity that comes to tongue easily in this crazy business, it was in the quiet of his own room. For none of the Sun staff had ever heard him use a word that would have been the least bit offensive to the most circumspect in any mixed group.

He took a charitable view toward sports failures and reverses, always trying to find in a player or a coach some extenuating circumstance for the shortcoming, using his space and words to build him back up when the boost was needed most.

George never could stoop to needling an athlete or sports official when his luck was running bad, a favorite pastime of some of the more personallypersuaded and less considerate members of the profession.

One characteristic for which George will always be remembered respectfully by Sun staffers was the extreme he would go to achieve the often elusive accuracy. 'f'B

While sports standings and stattsttcs are always available from the Associated Press, George elected to keep his own. He was particularly proud of his records on the Southeastern Conference.

One Saturday during the last basketball season, t.he Associated Press conference standings failed to jibe wtth those meticulously kept by George. He immediate!Y messaged the AP and asked for a recheck. They dtd and in a few minutes the standings came through corrected to coincide with the Sun sports writer's figures.

It is unusual for the hinterland editor to have to put in line the great, far-flung, usually and often annoyingly correct Associated Press.

But as George said later, "No one is going to ch~a.~ the Gators out of a half a game and get away with Jt. If there was a chink in the armor of George's objectivity in reporting, it was a slight and forgivable tendency to favor what he enthusiastically referred to as "My Gators."

-Christian Character George Everson took humility, clean habits, the charitable outlook, the soft voice and manner and molded them into a fine, sensitive Christian character.

He reached for the simple things and found them good. He learned the values and shared them.

We who have known him and worked with him are just a little better for the experience.

Some of us who have admired the things for which George. stood, are making small donations to the American Cancer Society in his memory. Perhaps you would join us in this. We believe it is the kind of expression that George would have liked very much.

May these minutes remind you of this master timepiece and of all that it is intended to typify.

However no chapter may waive the payment of any prior or accumulated indebtedness of the under· graduate concerned.

• The National Council and/ or the National Executive Secretary were directed to delegate a representative to supervise the financial control of any undergraduate chapter whose financial condition warrants such a form of control.

The National Council was instructed to appoint Chapter Alumni Membership Committees to approve Prospective pledges before invitations to pledgeship can be extended by the undergraduate chapters.

Beginning this year, each immediate Past National President will automatically become a member of the National Council. This move was made in order to Provide continuity from one Council to the next.

Beginning in 1956 each chapter delegate will have one vote for each member in his chapter instead of only one vote for each four chapter members as has been the custom until now.

A new edition of the "History and Directory of Pi Kappa Phi" will be published, covering the first 50 years of the fraternity. Beginning July 1, 1955, and for three years thereafter, each new initiate of the fraternity will be assessed a sum of $2 to be paid to the National Office to help defray the cost of the book.

In turn, when the book is published, these initiates will receive a copy of the history. Copies will be made available for purchase at cost by all members. Each new initiate will be required to purchase a copy.

Philadelphia was selected as the site of the TwentySixth Supreme Chapter meeting to be held the last week end of August between the 22nd and the 25th, 1956. The Convention will be three or four days, at the discretion of the National Council.

Members were reminded that the fraternity which was organized by three young College of Charleston students 50 years ago-Mr. Mixson, Simon Fogarty, and Andrew A.

IN OUR CHAPTER ETERNAL Rev. William E. McTier Rev. William E. McTier, Eta '22, Emory University, "a man who lived by the faith, died by the faith," so said a story in a Waycross, Ga., newspaper in announcing the Waycross minister's death.

He had preached more than 5,000 sermons during his 28-year ministry.

He had been a district superintendent and was president of the board of trustees of Andrew College at Cuthbert, Ga., and dean of the Senior Youth Assembly at Wesleyan College. He was considered one of the most vigorous ministers of the Georgia Methodist Conference. .

He was born August 19, 1897, in Jefferson County, Georgia, the son of Rev. John Franklin McTier, a Methodist minister, and Nancy Lona Faglie McTier.

The Rev. Mr. McTier had received statewide attention in recent AP and local stories of his life and his brave preparation for death.

Rev. A. B. Berry, Jr. Rev. Alexander B. Berry, Jr., 41 , Tau '31, North Carolina State College, who was executive secretary of the Commission on Town and Country Work in the Methodist Church in Virginia, died August 1 at a Virginia Beach hospital, following a heart attack. Mr. Berry began a career as engineer and then turned to the ministry.

For several years just prior to his appointment as executive secretary of Town and Country Work in June, Mr. Berry was pastor of Memorial Methodist Church, Charles City. This church was the result of a merger of four or five churches comprising the Charles City Charge. After its opening September 19, 1948, the church 20

became a center of active community life that attracted attention far and wide, resulting in the naming of the Rev. Mr. Berry as Rural Minister of the Year in Virginia in 1951 by the Progressive Farmer Magazine.

He was cited in the March, 1954 issue of the Chttrch School, published in Nashville, Tenn., for outstanding work as a rural pastor.

Mr. Berry organized the Charles City Industries, Inc., at the new consolidated church to help young people get started in business and farming.

This plan was an effort to reverse the trend of migration of young people from the farm to the city.

At the time of his death, Mr. Berry was secretary-treasurer of the Virginia Methodist Conference Credit Union.

A native of Swanquarter, N. C., Mr. Berry is survived by his wife and four children, his father and stepmother and a sister. ' ---'IrK</>---

Five men were initiated May 13: Don Mills, Bill Amos, Ray Welch, Jim Mann, and Frank Vann.

The annual house parry at Fore Walton, Fla., was a "terrific" success this year.

Three of our brothers were married the first week in June. They are Archie Stapleton, Fairhope, Ala., to Miss lee Brown, Fairhope; Bob Mayo, Mobile, Ala., to Miss Gay Birdsong, Oneonta, Ala., and John Segrest, luverne, Ala., to Miss Carol Wagoner, luverne.

Epsilon Chapter starred off the year by pledging 16 men.

At the end of the last school term, the fraternity had a beach house parry at Crescent Beach, S. C. Needless to say, much fun was had by all and it was with much regret that the brothers said goodby to the beach, the sun, the sand and the gals.

Several of the brothers attended the convention at Charleston with our representative, Willis Briley who is from Wilson, N. C. The brothers who attended were impressed with the calibre of Pi Kappa Phi's national leaders whose aspirations and interests were inspiring to all who attended.

Our membership was strengthened by the initiation of the following 14 new brothers at the close of the Spring term: Wait Koenig, Dave lennin, Bill Mohn, Dick Mensch, Joe Laroff, Henry Milligan, John Stevens, Fred Schmahl, Mike Sheridan, Dave Norris, Bill Schuette, John Cashmark, Ray Craig, and John Serafin.

During the Winter and Spring terms rwo major house improvements were brought about. Rugs were purchased for the living room, first floor halls, and front stairs, and the suite in the library was recovered.

In June, eight brothers received their degrees. The seniors gave the chapter a set of chimes for the fronr door. Those OF

Since we don't have a house we are holding some of our rushing functions off campus. This puts us at a slight disadvantage in relation to the other fraternities on campus. However, we feel that the very lack of a house may be to our advantage at this point. No house means less expense, and to some rushees this may have some appeal.

Era had the privilege September 25 of initiating the new chapter which was installed at the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia. The initiation was followed by a banquet given by the Atlanta Alumni Chapter.

Two important events took place during the Summer. The main one was the Convention which was attended by Brother Bill Roane. The other was the marriage of Brother Mike Grubb to Miss Joyce Moreland. Mike is the pastor of a fourchurch charge in South Georgia.

Beta Eta

In the line of projects last year, the "Joe College and Betty Coed Contest" was sponsored by us at the beginning of the year. The proceeds of this contest went to the Campus Chest.

We made the largest contribution of any fraternity on the campus.

Two pledges, armed with knives, are compelling me to write this next bit of news. Flash--the members lost to the pledges in the annual softball game held at the Hockey Field last year. I am going to withhold the score because it's too embarrassing for the members. I might add that this isâ&#x20AC;˘ the first time in years that the members of Beta Eta have suffered such a miserable defeat.

Credit is in order for Bob Carey who did a fine job in planning several of the sorority-fraternity parries that the 1 brothers enjoyed all year.

Recently, rwo of our brothers were married. They are Bob Newberry to Mona Faye Sledge and Frank Bean to Mickey Kendall.

Officers for the Fall Semester are Alan Sundberg, archon; Gary Campbell, secretary; Vic Spoto, treasurer; George Career, chaplain; Dick Lukas, historian; and Jim Ralston, warden. largely through the efforts of Alan Sundberg, the newly elected Inter-Fraternity Council president, rushing in September was delayed a week or so in order to give the new students a chance to get themselves acclimated.

Several of our brothers and pledges were tapped for honoraries and other organizations during the past year. Frank 23

Bean, past archon, was tapped for ODK, leadership honorary.

Alan Sundberg, archon, was elected to membership in the Gold Key, a scholastic, service, and leadership honorary.

John Adams was inducted into the Alpha Council, a leadership honorary for Freshman men. Paul Spivey was elecred to the American Political Science Organization. Three of nine members of the Scabbard and Blade, military honorary, are Pi Kapps, all of whom hold offices.

I think it is proper at this time to mention the names of certain people who are responsible for shaping up the house during the course of the Summer in preparation for "Rush Week." The whole chapter is most graceful to our housemother, "Mom" Gore; Brother Mike Cheeseman and Mrs. Cheeseman; Brother Gary Campbell; Brother Frank Bean; and numerous alumni who worked unselfishly in putting the house in tip-top condition.

Alpha Phi bad its annual Senior Farewell Picnic in June.

Pledge Bisoni scored many points with the members by bringing a half dozen of his female acquaintances along.

The picnic bad a less cheerful aspect to it as it marked the parting of five great guys. Dick Allen, Keith Clark, Leonard Janowski, Frank Unmack, and George Vellella left the Illinois Institute of Technology.

On the political side, the newly elected officers are Bill Plicta, treasurer; Ken Peterson, secretary; Cris Karidis, his路 torian; George Blair, chaplain; Charles Barnasconi, srewar~, and John Favero, housemanager. Peterson, Karidis, and Blatr are newly acrivated members.

This Summer our newly elected archon, Jim Capek, BerwYn, Ill., was drafted. This would have been his final year at Illinois Tech, however he left a very good rushing program in his wake.

Much of the success of the rushing program comes frorn the ideas John Favero, 11016 S. Edbrooke, Chicago, brought back from the District Leadership Conference. Here he learned and later related a lot of the fine points that are often overlooked or taken for granted by other chapters. 'f{j/e thank Ernie and John for setting us straight.

Iowa State College

Alpha Omicron had approximately 15 rushees stay in the house over Rush Week. Del Burkett, our Rush Chairman, has done a fine job in organizing a Spring and Summer Rushing Plan as well as having a good start on this Fall.

The bouse is in the finest condition ever, after having had all the rooms and balls painted last Spring before we left for the Summer. It was sealed during vacation so that it would be in good condition for work this Fall. It has proved to be a good idea since we had a big head start on rushing over the other houses.

We are starting the Fall with 32 ambitious members, after losing only three of the brothers in marriages during the Summer. They are Russell Bryant, Ray Hoffman, and Donald Beck.

With the combined efforts of the brothers and pledges we redecorated our suite, and everyone agrees it looks as good as any on the campus. Then came the Fall Rush party at which we announced this quarter's sponsor, Miss Trudy Wilson, a junior at Wesleyan. Another highlight of the Program was the awarding of last year"s pledge sweetheart, Miss Suzanne Jarrell, also at Wesleyan, with a loving cup and roses for her outstanding work. The party itself was a tremendous success, with the rushees aiding in the entertainment by dancing and singing.

The officers for the first half of the year have been announced as follows: Robert E. Edwards, president; Hugh M. Hodges, treasurer; George Laney, secretary; Marshall E. Stephenson, historian; William R. Willis, warden, and Joseph B. Chapman, chaplain.

Eight men became members during the school year '53-'54.

Charlie DeLeuw and George Sypher received the Outstanding Pledge Award for their respective pledge classes.

The main social events of last year were a costume parry and a Snow Ball which were held rhe firH semester and the Rose Ball that was held May Day. The theme of the costume parry was Africa, and the house was decorated as an African jungle. We had a small tree growing in the center and even jungle noises were heard in rhe background . The Snow Ball which has become an annua l affair, was held early in Decem: ber on Mount Lemmon, norrh of Tucson. After barbecuing steaks halfway up the mountain, there was a dance at Mount Lemmon lodge on the summit. The Rose Ball, which took place at the chapter house, was preceded by a banquet for th e members and their dates.

At the end of the first semester of the "53-'54 school year, our scholastic average was above the University all-men's average. Our chapter ranked tenth among the 20 fraternities on campus. The rop scholar in the house was John Ingle, with a 1.2 average. Leading the first semester pledges was Pres Harrington, with a 2.3 average.

For the first time in three years the men of Beta Theta returned to the same house in the Fall th:tt they left in the Spring. This, our third house in as many years, is the largest and the best so far. Also returning after a semester's absence was Dick Mouritson, once outstanding pledge, and formerly warden ancl' treasurer, and a top notch student and brother.

Not returning was last year's mascot Sam, a small brown dog, with a knack for irritating the neighbors. Sam has retired to a ranch outside of Tucson.

A great deal of work was done in the house during the Summer. The outside was painted, the dining room and the breakfast nook each got a coat of paint, floors were varnished and waxed, and the front lawn was overhauled. Working either full or part-time were Harry Slefkin, Duane Knudson, Dick Stanbaugh, Jon Browne, and Dick Newhall.

Charlie Deleuw, Jon Browne, and Pres Harrington represented Beta Theta at the National Convention in Charleston in August.

Crepe paper roses and ivy were entwined around the six pillars in the ballroom. At one end of the room was an arch covered in white and also decorated in red roses and ivy. Directly behind the arch was a white backdrop on which was placed in red Greek letters, Pi Kappa Phi. At the other end of the room, over the orchestra, was a replica of the pin, edged with red roses and ivy. From the two chandeliers in the center of the ballroom were hung two tremendous bunches of balloons in many colors.

Miss Barbara Watson of Columbia, S. C., who was escorted

by Brother Francis Rice, also· of Columbia, was chosen by the brothers to be Rose Queen for 1954. She was presented a bouquet of beautiful red roses by Archon leroy langston.
