Letters from Our Readers BOLT REMINDS THAT HE'S DADDY OF SIGMA Otterbein, Ind. Dear Brother ]ones: The Star and Lamp has been devoured from cover to cover. My compliments co Miss Smith and the staff in general. A sense of pride tingles all over me. Little insignificant me. I'm the daddy of Sigma. Sigma is the mother of George Bell Timmerman, which makes me the granddad of the Governor-elect of South Carolina. We have a new station wagon. We hope co put it to good use next Spring with a trip through the South. Two points of prominence-Lexington ("]awn D.") and Sumter ("W. B.") . Might even leave my card with the secretary in the Governor's office. Fraternally yours, WADE S. BOLT Sigma '10, University of South Carolina

ARCHON SEEKS HELP FROM NATIONAL OFFICE 327 High St. Salem, Va. October 22, 1954 Dear Brother ]ones: This is another one of those letters in which I am asking a favor. Our treasurer of last year is now in the service, and there is no one here that knows enough

to complete the Green Report. We are still messing with ir. but even with the accounting I have had I do not seem to be able co help Brother Harner complete it. If you have any printed informacion on it we would appreciate it verY much. Our membership has improved co the extent of five pledges already this Fall and with the crop of freshmen I look forward to an increased membership this year. We now have si~ brothers and 15 pledges. So far we have been able to find a way to lower dues and also to clear up many of our back accounts. We are constantly making small improvements to the house and at the present are remodeling the kitchen with our labor and donated material. The garage is now ao attractive parry room and is going over big. Our Sweethearl Dance was a success and was enjoyed by all. We have a ne\1' addition co the house in the presence of a collie dog named Rex-thoroughbred at that. Our new housemother, Mrs. Main, is without a question the greatest yet. We all Jove her, and she really likes the chapter. Our final rush parry is on Monday, the 15th of November. We would be honored if you could join us, and also 1 believe your presence would help us in securing new pledges. Please lee me know if you will be in the area at that time· We look forward to hearing from you at your convenience. Fraternally yours, DURWARD W. OWEN, Archon Xi, Roanoke College

WILSON ADMONISHES THE PLEDGEMASTER

ANDREW J. OFFUTT, Beta Gamma '52, University of Louisville, is making his imagination "pay off." In the midst of a college career at the University of Louisville, with a work schedule besides, Mr. Offutt has found rime to rake an imaginative look at the world 100 years from now and write the story for a contest. The result was that he won the first-place award of $1,000 in a science-fiction contest for college writers. The competition was sponsored by If Magazine, a science-fiction publication. Mr. Offutt's story was published in the Ocrober 10 issue of If. He Earns Scholarship

Dear Pledgemasrer:

Editor-in-Chief

Mr. Offutt, who skipped his senior year at Taylorsville High School to enter the University of Louisville on a Ford Foundation scholarship, is a senior, and an English major. He is a member of Pi Delta Epsilon, a journalism fraternity, and is managing editor of the Cardinal, University of Louisville newspaper; was editor of Static, the Air Force ROTC weekly at the university, and secretary of the Student Council. He speni:ls 20 hours a week with a Louisville Advertising agency and 10 hours a week as a clothing salesman . He also draws "uncomical comic-strip" illustrations for a syndicate distributing magazine articles. His future: probably Army service, then a career in advertising or public relations. He Foresees World Dictatorship

Mr. Offutt's prize story, "And Gone Tomorrow," foresees a world under control of an Italian dictatOr. There is one ruler, one capital, one army, one language and one religion. ' There are locks that open when "recognizing" fingerprints and telephones that recognize voices. There are air baths, ever-running chronometers, and cyanidepellet guns that kill instantly without pain or maiming. Cigarettes have been outlawed as detrimental to health in this year of 2054. A system of trial marriages has eliminated divorces. In the srory, a young man of roday, whisked a century into the future, learns this political truth: "There is no perfect government." The award for the story was presented to Mr. Offutt by Mayor Broaddus of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Offutt has purchased a car with part of the money. The balance, after taxes, is going for tuition and books . ---'IrK</>---

Honored for Top Grade Point Average Alpha ~el~a Chapter, University of Washington, was the rectptent of the award for highest grade point average presented at the annual luncheon meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Mothers' Conference recently. Archon Ron Konopaski received the award for his chapter.

six years in all phases of commercial floriculture work. Before he went to Ohio State University in 1929, Professor Laurie found that everywhere he went the plant-growing business was a haphazard affair. "Everything in greenhouses was done by guess or by gosh in those days," he said. "Growing tech· niques were handed down from father to son, and even the horticultural faculty at Cornell relied on such borrowed experience." Flower Pre-Packaging

The pre-packaging of flo ers by florists was spurred by Professor Laurie. The special box in which they are packaged prevents the escape of carbon dioxide, which flowers produce as a natural preservative. Flowers thus packaged will stay fresh for a long time when kept in the refrigerator.

f Professor Laurie was Thculty adviser of Alpha Prof. Alex Laurie C ~ta, Michigan State A~ ege, 1927-29, and of Pha Nu, Ohio State University, 1929-31.

Because the climate of his birthplace in the low lands of middle Georgia affected his health as a child, he was carried by his widowed mother farther north in the state, and they finally settled at Oxford, the site of old Emory College. She had designs for him, her only child, to become a minister, and in time he pursued some religious courses at the college.

Re-enters College to Join Eta as Student

While his mother was postmistress and Brother Gunn was helping her with the duties, he absorbed much information concerning college fraternities. At various times local c'hapters of national fraternities rented space from them in rooms in the building that housed the village Post Office. A local vacated space in the building, and Brother Gunn interested the group that became the Gross Keys Club in becoming tenants in the building. The Cross Keys Club petitioned Pi Kappa Phi, and it became Eta Chapter, the mother of the chapters in Georgia. Later the leaders of the chapter extended a bid to Brother Gunn, and after consideration, he declined to be initiated as an alumnus but agreed to matriculate again in the college so that he could be initiated as a bona fide student. Besides his attainment in being elected Supreme Secretary in so short a time following his initiation, he was credited with 10 of the 14 motions that carried. Mr. Gunn said the chapter sent him to the Convention because he had the funds to pay his expenses and the others did not.

Helps Found Two Chapters

He was the leading spirit in the installation of the Iota and Lambda chapters at Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, respectively; and he has always kept himself posted fully upon the Fraternity's activities and lent his services untiringly. Mr. Gunn served a term as president of the Atlanta Chapter, Georgia Society of Sons of the American Revolution, and two or three years as secretary-registrar of the chapter. At a meeting of the Atlanta Alumni Chapter April 12, 1954, by coincidence the forty-first anniversary of Brother Gunn's initiarihn\ limo Pi Kappa Phi, he was

presented a certificate of lifetime membership in the alumni chapter. In 1911 he married Miss Willie Theodore Ross, who, like Brother Gunn, descended from prominent families. In the days at Oxford, Mrs. Gunn was ever helpful to the boys in the chapter, and she has continued to share in Brother Gunn's interest in the Fraternity. They moved to Atla'pta in 1918, and in January of 1950 Brother Gunn retired from the City Tax Collector's office because of failing eyesight. He and Mrs. Gunn enjoy hearing from the "boys" of the Fraternity and having them visit with them at their home at 213 Poplar Circle, N. E., Atlanta, Ga., where they live as lovable characters, noble 'parents of two children, and devoted grandparents.

Alpha Mu Claims Wrestling Star At Penn State By ROY WILLIAMS, Historian Alpha Mu

OBERLY IS A MAINSTAY ON SQUAD UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST outstanding athlete of Pi Kappa Phi at the Pennsylvania State University is William Oberly. This sea.son will mark the second year for Oberly as a mainstay on the Nittany Lion wrestling squad, although he is only a junior. Under the expert direction of Coach Charlie Speidel, "The Obe"-as he is commonly known on campus-has compiled an impressive won and lost record for his first year as a varsity letterman. During the wrestling squad's campaign in 1953-54, Oberly's overall record in dual meet, Eastern, and National wrestling was 13 wins, three losses, and one tie. Nine of Obe's wins were by falls. While wrestling nine dual meets for Penn State last Fall, Bill cornered a 6-1-1 record; five of these victories were taken by route of falls. The only opponent that dumped the massive Lion heavyweight was Navy's Pete Blair-Oberly's eventual foe in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament at Norman, Okla. He Gives Crack Display at Cornell In the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association tourney at Cornell last Fall,. Oberly put on a crack display by winning three of his four matches; two of his victories were by falls. Obe, who eventually nailed a third place rating in the Eastern classic, lost only one match during the campaign-that to Lehigh's Werner Seal, by a slim 1-0 score. Against NCAA wrestling competition, Bill piled up a card of four victories and one loss. In this case, two of his four wins were by falls. Oberly credits his ability of knowing a wide variety of holds to the advice from many coaches, high school teammates who returned from the college ranks to help him, and personal friends interested in wrestling. He Relies on Knowledge of Holds Obe is unlike most heavyweights-he does not rely on his weight or his strength entirely. Instead, his knowledge of effective holds, and how to use them with lightning speed, has not only made him a winning matman but also a favorite with Penn State fans. "I'm known as a leg wrestler," Oberly confidently, but mildly, admits. Oberly, a 205 pounder from Asbury, N. J., attributes much of his success to instructor Johnriy Engle of Lehigh. Engle is presently known as an outstanding referee, and formerly a national champ at 118 pounds. Oberly also credits Oklahoma's outstanding matman, Mike Fucci, with helping him to "get his thinking 8

IT'S CROSS-COUNTRY FOR GARRETT Although Alpha Mu is not overrun by varsity athletes, we do feel that of the five men in the bouse who are participating in sports, Ted Garrett holds one of the top berths as far as ability. This attitude, evidently, is held not only by Garrett's teammates but also by his coach, Chick Werner, bead man of Penn State's track and field teams.

Coach Praises GarreH The Nittany cross-country coach bad nothing but praise for Garrett after the Lions defeated Michigan State, 23-36. Garrett, who was captain for the meet with the Spartans, came through with his finest performance since coming to the Nittany Valley. His THE

"I figured he was going to wait until the others had passed and then he would rake a short cut around the tunnel," the little speedster said. As it turned out, the other runner didn't take a short cut. When Garrett asked him why he had paused, he replied that he was "tired and just resting." Garrett started running again, winding up in second place. The other runner? Well, it's a good thing Garrett didn't follow him all the way. He came in about eighth. Garrett is an industrial psychology major and is secretary for the house. Garrett has come into his own for the Penn State Lions. The Nittany harrier has passed through the "tunnel," or "over the bridge," as the song goes. Any way it is phrased, Garrett has regained his victory stride. So have the Lions.

Time Approves Fraternity's Foundations, Fogarty Says FOR THE EDIFICATION of the youngest members of Pi Kappa Phi and tO refresh the memories of those who have heard the story before, The Star and Lamp is publishing the following letter, written by Founder Simon Fogarty to Richard Coleman, chaplain of Upsilon Chapter, University of Illinois, December 10, 1947: The fact that a group of young men are gathering in a distant city tO celebrate an event in which I was an active participant continues tO be both startling and reassuring tO me. Little did the original group imagine that what they were doing would last beyond their college days. That it has lasted is rime's stamp of approval on the fundamental emotions which prompted their actions. College Occupies Unique Place In 1903, the College of CharlestOn had an enrollment of around 125 men. The college was small in numbers. The Faculty and Board of Trustees were not anxious about either irs numerical or financial status. It was recognized as a college of Liberal Arts by the raring agencies. Irs graduates were and had been active and prominent in local and state affairs. It seemingly was carrying our the reasons for irs founding. It occupied a unique place in the collegiate and social life of the area and had done so since irs founding in 1785. Group to Reorganize College Politics In 1903 it was 118 years old. It was at this honored and honorable institution that a group was formed to reorganize college politics and unseat a group which had for years controlled all student activities. These activities included the Literary Societies (which at that time were the most influential groups in all Southern colleges) , the Athletic Association, the magazine, the official college dances, and the election of class officers. To me and to many others the keeping of the status quo was perfectly satisfactory. Not so to Andrew Kroeg. The passive acquiescence of the majority to the rigid rule of the self-styled over-lords was a challenge to his youthful ardor; not for moral reform but for a wider distribution of offices and influence among those whom he considered capable enough and with sufficient energies to hold the positions and to function on a parity with the established families. He selected Harry Mixson and myself as his lieutenants. Inspired by his leadership I went into the political fight certain of success, with a firm belief in the leader-particularly so since he had selected one of my best friends to work along with me. We did not make a clean sweep of a~l we went after, bur we did secure several important offices. Charter Members Selected During the Summer of 1903, Kroeg laid his plans for the next year. He said that if we should increase (Contimted on Page 13) 12

Secure in our positions at the College, we had more time to study one another. We had formal meetings once a week and saw each other every day. Except for my brother James and myself, we were a heterogeneous group. From a financial standpoint two were from rich families and two from poor ones. These two were working their way through college. Four religious denominations were represented. In scholarship five were outstanding students. The formation of the fraternity brought us all very close ro one another. This intimacy kept the chapter alive during my college days. Since human factors change very little in succeeding generations, Alpha is still at the College of Charleston and replicas and duplicates of it e~ist in thirty-odd colleges around the country.

FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know. -"The 117 eb a11d the Rock," by Thomas Wolfe, Deceased Member of Kappa Chapter, University of North Carolina

Florida State, Arizona, Toledo, and Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia. This period saw the development of The Gold Book, a chapter manual which, for the first time, embraced all chapter instructional material and the Conscitution and Supreme Laws under one cover. Leadership Conferences were inaugurated. These conferences, held in various districts, have provided a degree of training in leadership for over 4,000 undergraduate chapter members. Expressions of Regret National Council members and others expressed the following sentiments at the passing from the scene of Brother Jones:

Natio?tal President Theron A. Ho11ser: "I regret that Bernie has found it necessary to resign, but I can not blame him. He has an excellent position offered him, with no travel involved." Nation~l

Treastvrer Ralph W'. Noreen: "May the

Good Lord guide you in finding us a successor to your office of Executive Secretary. It will take a mighty good man to contribute as much as one half of what you have contributed to the Fraternity in love, devotion, and labor during your term of office. You may, Dear Sir, have left your imprint in Pi Kapp Hall of Fame." National Secretary lf/ayne R . Moore: "I will be surprised if we are able to replace you with anyone who has the combined qualities of interest, imagination, and devotion and action that you have always exhibited. You have certainly given the organization tremendous stimulation during your time in the office." National Historian Frank H. Hawthorne: "I am without words in expressing my complete surprise regarding your resignation. You have been one of the greatest assets to our Fraternity. Your loyalty, devotion co duty, keen managerial abi lity, personal character, and Christian principles have been reflected in each chapter of our organization."

Natitmal Scholarship Chairman Will E. Edington: "You and I have worked so harmoniously together through the past eight years. Of course, I have long recognized that a man of your personality, training, and ability cou ld not continue with Pi Kappa Phi indefinitely."

Dr. Roy M. Kottman, Adviser, Alpha Omicron, Iowa State: "I was greatly disturbed to learn of your decision to relinquish your position as Executive Secretary of our Fraternity. This is a loss of inestimable proportions. All of us are sorry to see you leave the job that you have done better than it has ever been done before. We will miss you sorely."

David Bard, President, Rho Chaptet", W'ashington and Lee University: "You have, so to speak, put this Fraternity on the map in a remarkably short period of time. Your energy, enthusiasm, leadership, and business ability can never again be found in one man alone."

the more than 2,000 men who comprise these chapters. IFC is a central organization which provides a voice for the individual organizations within it. Therefore, the post which "Kitch" holds is a very important oneespecially in the light of the recent controversy of the fraternities with the school administration on the drinking and dating codes. IFC has a two-fold purpose-administration and service. As a service force it is the medium through which the combined talents and resources of the fraternities are best employed to benefit the universitY and the community. Through its administrative pow· ers, fraternity actions are subject to discipline or corn· mendation, as necessitated by the behavior of fraternity men. To act in this capacity, IFC has a Board of Control, consisting of the three elected officers of IFC and 1'0 house presidents. Partly Responsible for IFC Fate A strong and effective IFC this year can and will mean a Jot to the Penn State fraternity man. "Kirch'' -a fraternity man through and through-was installed last Spring as vice-president. The fate of the IFC system at Penn State now falls partially into his hands. His efforrs will help greatly in contributing to a better Penn State, a more effective IFC system, and afl already proud Pi Kappa Phi.

Drake Beta Delta Beta Delta Chapter is on the go again this year, stronger than ever. Young and aggressive, Pi Kappa Phi rides on top of the inter-fraternity competition. So far this first semester, we won two important trophies. The new Scholarship Trophy is on our mantel now. The old Scholarship Trophy is on our mantel also. We retired it last Spring by winning it tliree semesters in a row. Thus our ·. scholarship record is unequalled by any other fraternity on campus. The second trophy was for our Homecoming Decorations. For the first time in our history, we won this coveted trophy, and we intend to make a tradition by winning it every year, as we do with the Drake Relays Float Trophy. Our social program this year is better than ever, and we're looking forward to some fancy cosrurne parties like the one we just had with "Hernando's Hideaway" as the theme. Teas and exchanges with the sororities are well under way. Our friend Cupid has been active also. This Summer, Brother Elie Zananiri and Miss Marianne Schneider announced their engagement and approaching marriage September 3, 1955. Shortly after school opened, Brother Keith Miller and Miss Diane Bolton announced their engagement. Miss Ann Clarke is now in possession of Brother Dave Dailey's pin. -Dave Dailey, Historian Drexel Alpha Upsilon "Vice in Paradise," our 20th annual show, was presented November 19 and 20-and it turned out to be one of the best shows ever. Chuck Dugan and all the members of the Show Committee and the cast deserve a resounding vote of appreciation for a job well done. Also, the chapter has been receiving congratulations for its evidence of good taste in choosing Miss Millie Depman for Pi Kapp Sweetheart of 1954. Everyone was well pleased with the selection of Millie . . . especially Bill Meyer! Once again the Pi Kapps are IF Football League Champs. For the third straight year, they have an unbeaten squad; this year's victory retires the trophy permanently to our growing collection. Five of the players made the all-IF team : Dick Walker, Bill Meyer, John Cigan, Fred Nuenighoff, and Don Craft. A memorable Founder's Day celebration was held December 2, with nearly all of the active members present and one of the biggest turnouts of alumni in recent years. Among che honored guests were national officers Theron Houser and Ralph Noreen, and Executive Secretary W. Bernard Jones, Jr. Toastmaster was Prof. Edward D. McDonald of Drexel, one of Alpha Upsilon's charter members. Highlights of the celebration were the burning of the mortgage on our chapter house, and an excellent message on "The Reasons for Success," presented by Secretary Jones. At the IF Ball December 4, Miss Jerry Fredericks was chosen Inter-Fraternity Sweetheart for 1955. We note this with particular gratification, since Jerry was our own 23

candidate and the girl we chose as Pi Kapp Sweetheart lase year. Congratulations co Jim Clift, Chuck Dugan, and Fred Nielson who have recencly become engaged; also to Jim Chapman and George Murray on their pinnings. - Bob Smith, Historian

Our display, one of the few on campus, was finally erected after many hours of hard work. This year the brothers again emerged victorious in our annual pledge-brother football ga me. Christmas was filled with joy and merriment as the brothers of Mu were hoses co 49 orphans, rangi ng in age from 9 to 13, from the Methodist Orphanage ac Raleigh, N. C.

Our Rush Week turned our co be one of the most successful yec, resulting in a large pledge class of 22 chis Fall. We had our annual pledge-member football game this Fall, with what we hope will be the usual results-score 27-0. Athletics seemed co be che goal of Alpha Omicron chis past quarter. We have won three trophies so far, one in Football, one in Bowling, and one in Volleyball. Romance took irs roll this Fall among che brothers. Myron Mennefee was pinned co Miss Jan Candee; Dick Mabbitt, to Miss Shirley Mercia!, and Frank Holm, to Miss Diane Mathias. We held a welcoming tea chis Fall for our new housemother, Mrs. Ruth Cowles. Ic turned out to be a large success. The better acquainted we become with her, the more we are sure chat we have another true mother away from home. Plans for our new house are coming along fine, and with our fine faculty members behind us, we are sure char we will be living in a new house before very long. Thanks should certainly be given to one of our most recent alums, Ed Tyner, for putting in all the time and work in drawing up the plans for the house. 24

Elections were held as usual chis Fall, with the cop spot being filled by able John Jondle as archon. The ocher officers were elected as follows: Dick Mabbitt, treasurer; Fred Wood, secretary; Oliver Sparks, warden; Jan Huych, historian; Paul Hirz, chaplain; John Veak, social chairman; Gene Hech, rush chairman; George Hester, scholarship chair路 man; Joe Veeder, house manager; Keith Bader, activities chairman; Ray Hansen, intramural chairman; Kirk Colvig, publicity chairman; Dick Mabbicc, song chairman, and Marv Walter, assistant treasurer. - Jack C.

University of Georgia, Atlanta Division Beta Kappa The Beta Kappa Chapter, like all new chapters, is now in the process of getting itself adjusted to the National way of life. ~'e feel that our chapter is now well on its way; at any rate we certainly are making a name for ourselves here at the Atlanta Division. Since our founding September 25, we have petitioned our University Administration for a suite of chapt~r rooms. This we are told will be granted in the early part of 1955. Immediate plans are under way for the procurement of furniture, fixtures, etc. that go into making a chapter room comfortable and welcome to brothers and guests. Our Fall rush season was a roaring success. We rushed and pledged 38 prospective members. Pledge meetings, conducted by Warden Alfred Taylor, have been held each Wednesday night since pledging. Pledge officers elected to office by their fellow pledges are Earnest Keen, president; Doug Tallent, vice-president; Dean Pratt, treasurer, and Stuart Langley, secretary. It was our pleasure to initiate Brother James Barrow as an alumnus November 18, 1954. He is now serving as second lieutenant in the U. S. Army. Our chapter, formerly the Zeta Chi Delta local fraternity, has unanimously elected our previous sweetheart, Miss Junata Mcintyre, the Rose of the Beta Kappa Chapter. Also it is with great pleasure that we announce rhe engagement of Miss Mcintyre to Brother Jack Kelley. Our archon, Jim Smith, was recently married to the former Miss Louise Foster of Decatur, Ga., at the Avondale Methodist Church.

Mr. Roy is an alumnus of the Alpha Sigma Chapter at the University of Tennessee. -Bob Donaldson, Historian University of Illinois Upsilon The pledge class seems to have a feeling for the house that is above average as far as pledge classes are concerned. Although our scholastic status has remained unchanged thus far this semester, we have made good advances socially on campus. Our social program is no more aggressive than in the past, but it is much more vigorously supported. We have had good Dad's Day and Homecoming week ends this year. -Don Freund, Archon William James Putnan was elected honorary president for life of the House Corporation. He received this honor 27

The brothers, sporting their best football team of the season, ran over the pledge class, 38-0. Ups, our house mascot, has been farmed out to Mrs. Cash, who is the mother of Don and Dave Cash. It is reported that he is really living in luxury. A boxer, unnamed as yet, will replace Ups as the chapter mascot. Twenry couples attended the Fall's first informal dance. This was soon followed by the pledge dance which carried the theme, "The Ranch." There was a parry at the house for the second informal dance, and the pre-Christmas season started with the annual Winter Formal accompanied by a banquet Sunday. The pre-season ended with the Christmas banquet and parry. - David A. Doetzel, Historian

Alpha Chi

After an intensive two-week rushing period, Alpha Chi emerged with a small but excellent pledge class of six men. They have been given pledge training throughout the term by Pledgemaster W. Welsh Perice, and will be ready for initiation early in the second term. Our new pledges are Jack N. Salter, Pontiac, Mich.; John J. McCarthy, Medina, N. Y.; Richard A. Tindal, Key Biscayne, Fla.; Jerry W. Kisker, West Palm Beach, Fla.; Raul Eiris, Caracas, Venezuela; Jim Talbott, Washington, D . C. -Donald Rickman, Historian

University of Nebraska

Thus far we have pledged 11 men, most of whom were gai ned through open rushing. From Omaha are Bob Young, John Corzine, Dick Burkland, and Steve Saylor. From Lincoln are Paul Schneider, Ron Kirsch, Bill Krueger, and Bill Parrish. Others are Harold Knust from Howells, Ron Holtmeier of Tobia,, and Dick Brentzel, whose home is in Columbus. Nu Chapter has been scoring high in scholarship and athletics. The alumni scholarship awards were given to Charles Wright, who had the highest pledge class average, and Marvin Stromer, who led the members. For the second semester, 1953-54, Nu stood well above the all-fraterniry and all-men's averages at the Universiry of Nebraska. The football season brought another fine gridiron team to Nu this Fall. After winning their first two games by comfortable margins, the Gold and White loom as favorites in their league. The bowling team is also doing well despite the Joss of three members of last year's championship team. To officiate this year are Archon Virgil Rank, Secretary Von Innes, Treasurer Rodney Rippe, Warden James Moss, Historian William Zieg, and Chaplain James Boling. -William Zieg, Historian 28

Beta lotCI

We have pledged nine men in upper-class pledging, and in doing so, we gai ned three more men than any other fraternity on the campus. They are Jim Ault, Jim Bays, Jerrl' Bell, Bill Bisbee, Darwin Deckrosh, Gerald Keck, Larrl' Harold, John Lorenzen, and Dennis Srurgil. The alumni have helped the chapter greatly by their con· stant support and work for the chapter. The latest plan was a dinner held for friends and neighbors of the chapter. It was a huge success and everyone enjoyed themselves. We are in the midst of redecorating the fraterniry house. New furniture, new carpers, paint, and ceiling are a few of the great improvements under way. The alumni are in charge of this program and are helping with the work. The new officers for the year are archon, Norm McClurg; treasurer, Phil Long; secretary, Richard Smalley; warden, Ron Ferris; historian, Phil Rapp, and chaplain, Marv Davis. -Phillip Rapp, Historian

Alpha Deltct

Fall quarter finds this northwest corner with great ambi· rions for the coming year. We hope that the highlight of this year will be the realization of our goal of 18 members by spring. Alpha Delta swung into high gear during Septern· ber by the pledging of four men. The new pledges are Wilford Lundberg, Charles R. ("Dick") Caldwell, and Melvin Lundberg, all from Havre, Mont., and Darold Smith of Peshastin, Wash. Ben Novak of Winlock, Wash., renewed his pledgeship and is president of the pledge class. Leading the chapter are Ron Konopaski as archon, Dale Kinkade as housemanager-treasurer, and Paul Lutz as secretar)'· John Daily, former archon, is now serving with the Arrnl' at Fort Ord, Calif. Early Fall was marked by the visit of Ray Sanchez, Travel· ing Conusellor. Ray was very helpful in showing us how to solve some of the problems which we faced. We again lead the campus at Washington by holding first place in scholarship. We also retain the Pi Kappa Phi West Coast Scholarship Trophy for a second year. Our social year has been highlighted by a theatre parr)', firesides, a Hallowe'en Parry, an elaborate homecoming sign and a very successful Alumni Homecoming Banquet. --D aro ld Smith, Acting Historian THE
