D ear Brother: I certainly do appreciate the value of The Star and Lamp in keeping up with my brothers and other member> of our fraternity. The November issue was particularly interest· ing, concerning the fine convention held last Summer.

My si ncerest congratulations to our new slate of officers and best wishes for every success possible in keeping Pi Kap~l Phi progressive, aggressive, and aware of its opportunities: the lives of thousands. My si ncerest appreciation to those o · cers who have led us so well in the past. The results of your efforts can be seen in the activities of our great undergraduate chapters.

Out of the Past

a

(Material for this col1111111 was obtained from tbe Pebmary, 1917, issue of The Star and Lamp.)

40 Years Ago In the editorial columns it was stated tbat it would require seven pages to give you the humorous side of the 1916 Convention in Savannah and that a book could be written concerni ng the good that was accomplished.

This word of wisdom was g leaned: "The man who attaches no importance to an ideal probably never had one."

Brother R. C. Wiggins, Mu, Duke, stated that good reports were coming from Virginia Xi at Roanoke College, Pi Kappa Phi's baby chapter. He pointed out that Brother A. P. Wagener, Alpha, College of Charleston, one of the first members of Pi Kappa Phi, had been a member of the faculty at Roanoke and "the guiding star" of the chapter.

At this time the Fraternity had two chapters in the West, Gamma at the University of California and Nu at the University of Nebraska. Brother Wiggins made the comment that " the West bids fair to be a realm of Pi Kapps in the near future.

It is hoped that definite steps will soon be taken

th a

to establish some more chapters in the West. This is good territory."

From Gamma at the University of California: "H. S. Brink, '17, is practising with the Varsity baseball squad. There are three or four men out competing for positions on the track squad."

From Epsilon at Davidson: "Brother Paisley, after three years of hard work as a scrub football man , has finally won his right to wear a "D ." Also, while on the football subject, it might not be amiss to mention that we have the manager of the football team for next year."

From Zeta at Wofford: " Pledge season began February second. Since the dust has about settled, Pi Kappa Phi has nailed three good men. They are P. M . Kinney of Bennettsville, S. C.; D . L. Harper of Lowndesville, S. C., and R. M. Howell of Florence, S. C. This gives us third place in number of freshmen pledged, the Kappa Alphas holding the lead."

From Nu at the University of Nebraska: "Brothers Landers and Dempster have received sweaters for their work on the Senior football team, which won the Class Championship."

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,

The fire of Sunday, February 10, has scattered the brotherhood well over Auburn, with about 22 brothers and pledges living at Glenn House and the rest having apartments or living in men's dorms. "Mother Eve" will be living in Bay Minette with her daughter until the house is rebuilt.

The house which burned was insured for $60,000.

Methodist Church Benefits From Epsilon's Help Week A highlight of the Winter activities at Epsilon Chapter, Davidson College, was the culmination of the pledge training and initiation of the new brothers, Historian Walter Bishop has pointed out.

"With only one exception, all pledges made their grades," he said. "We had no one to depledge which, I believe, speaks well for our pledge-training program.

"The high point of 'Hell Week,' 'Help Week,' 'Greek Week,' or whatever you choose to call it was our help project. The following paragraph which appeared in the Davidson Methodist Church bulletin tells the story better than I ever could:

Religious Leadership Award Is Presented by Omicron

By PAUL C. MORROW, Histor ia n and JAMES I. OWENS, Archon

QMICRON CHAPTER played a very prominent part in Religious Emphasis Week at the University of Alabama. The week began with the presentation of the Ann Inglett Award to the University. President James H. Newman received the award on behalf of the University of Alabama. (See cover picture.)

The award was given in honor of the late Miss Ann Inglett. Ann, a 1955 graduate of the University, died of leukemia in Atlanta, Ga ., in April, 1956. She was an outstanding student in all areas of college life. A list of all her honors and accomplishments would be superfluous. Her leadership, her creative ideas, her desire to work, her devotion--these were the attributes which distinguished Ann. She was simply a person working for something in which she believed. She was a person with a sincere interest in all her fellow students.

Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Upsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority were co-sponsors of the award. Miss Inglett, a member of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, was engaged to Ronald S. Garner, Sanford, Fla., now an alumnus of Omicron.

The plague bears this inscription: "Presented in memoriam to the student who has made the greatest contribution to the religious life of the campus." In May or April of each year, beginning in 1957, the award will be presented for the next 50 years.

Psi Alumnus Sponsors Bills In New York Assembly

By GORDON E. WHITE, Psi Press Secretary to Brother Ingram

AS THIS STORY is being written, Brother Verner M. Ingram, Psi '30, Cornell University, is concluding his freshman year in the New York State Assembly.

During the year, Brother Ingram introduced 10 measures. The most controversial of them would reguire minors between 18 and 21 to show identifi cation cards in order to buy beer, wine, or liguor. The bill was put forward as a compromise after it appeared sure that another legislator's bill to raise the drinking age to 21 would be killed.

The drinking cards could be obtained only with parental consent, and out-of-state youths whose home states' drinking age was 21 would not be issued cards, under the Ingram plan. "Border-mnning" by teenagers would thus be ended . It has been a source of considerable tense feeling between New York and Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, M assachusetts, and Vermont.

Other legislation Brother Ingram has sponsored would create 1,200 additional State scholarships for veterans; re-write ce rtain medical and dental practice reguirements; increase allowable school bond interest to 3 per cent; tighten State drunken-driving laws ; amend the motor vehicle law, and arrange payment for a bridge in Ogdensburg.

His committee assignments include Aviation, Labor and Industries, Public Service, and Revision.

DAIRY JUDGING STARS WIN PRIZES AT ATLANTIC CITY A letter received from Brother Bob Anderson , Upsilon, University of Jllinois, during the Winter contained the foil owing: "Brother Fred Jaronitzky and I went to Atlantic City to participate in the International Dairy Show. I was the alternate on our three-man University of Illinois Dairy Products Judging Team. Brother Fred won first place in all-products and a Gruen wrist watch. The team won first place and an $1,800 research fellowship. Fred will probably use the fellowship. Th.ere were 33 schools participating from all over the nat10n.

"Two weeks previous, we judged in Chicago at the Midwest Dairy Show. Here Fred was the alternate. We placed first as a team in butter judging and tied for second as a team in all-products. There were 11 mid-western schools here. We judged milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream. Brothers Ruzicka and Duda from Iowa State did real well at Atlantic City and Chicago, respectively.

Two districts in Benton County voted on whether or not to secede from a livestock control district. Any person owning 20 or more acres of land within either district was entitled to vote on the issue. Since Brother Starker was a landowner in both districts, he qualified to vote in each. In Corvallis he voted on the regular general election ballot. The 01·eg011icm of Portland, Oreg., carried three pictures of Brother Starker and detailed cut lines the day after election.

Brother Hugh A. Groves

Brother Groves is a charter member of GSPE and has held some office, chapter or state, since his return to this country. ''Carries His End of the Log"

"There also is the clue to why he is entitled to that humble, but very honored and not too frequently deserved title of 'good citizen,' " the writer said. "It conveys the idea that he is a 'weight lifter' and one who always 'carries his end of the log.' And not only as an engineer, but also as a Tech alumnus, a Sunday School superintendent, a Baptist deacon, and an officer in citywide churd1 bodies .

He always has sensible comments in board meetings and shows a grasp of organizational matters which are essential to the GSPE president's office. In following him we will get somewhere."

Plays under "Name" Leaders

Brother Alex E. Anthony

From Rio Grande Way JN A LETTER written at the close of a six-month training period at Moore Air Base in Mission, Texas, Brother Alex E. Anthony, Tau '52, North Carolina State College, a second lieutenant, told of some of his experiences while stationed at this base.

He reported that the weather in this area of the Rio Grande Valley "can't be beat." Only 20 miles from the Mexican border, he has availed himself of much of the entertainment of Mexico.

"As for entertainment on this side of the Rio Grande River, we have the renowned Padre Island which offers swimming and fishing all year round," Brother Anthony wrote.

At Moore he has been trained in the T-34 and T -28 single engine aircraft. When he wrote he was awaiting transfer to Reese AFB in Lubbock, Texas, about the middle of March for training in the B-25 multi-engine aircraft. ''I've really been disappointed at not meeting any Pi Kapps since I've been down here," he said. "I wish we had a chapter at the University of Texas. Several of us have been over there for weekends, and with a student body of that size, I'm sure there's room for another fraternity.

"Texas Tech is located in Lubbock and is only a few miles from the base. However, if my memory serves me right, we don 't have a chapter there either. It looks as if I'm destined to be in Texas a year without dropping in on a Pi Kapp house."

He is still a member of the musicians' union. He play for two years all over the country under the direction o a number of "name" leaders and as conductor of his o\1¡ orchestra. However, he left that profession to sell inso1 ance. For 15 years he was special agent for the Libert National Life Insurance Company, selling insurance I the Army. "But I played wherever I went and made a II of friends," Brother Tabor said. The job came to an eiJ when the government took over that service. He If mained with the company, though, until the end of til war, taking care of adjustments.

He went into the hotel business because it alwaf fascinated him. He lived in hotels when he was playi in dance orchestras.

"I would ask the hotel management to let me wo~ on the desk," he said, recalling experiences with obvio' pleasure. "So, the clerk would go away and let me ta~ over."

He could not give a special reason for liking to wor behind the desk except maybe that he likes people.

The pianist is one of those "naturals" who knew almO: from the beginning how to play. When he was seven~ ( walked up to a school piano and began to play a popu!â&#x20AC;˘ song. A music teacher heard him and offered to give htf lessons. Formal instruction was not to his liking, so~ managed to bribe a colored child, offspring of one of~ servants in his parents' home in Toccoa, Ga., to practJC the piano while he went out to play. Later his piano pia) ing caused him difficulty because any boy who playea tJi piano was dubbed a "sissy."

Wins Scholarship to Mercer

Somehow he lived through these trials and wo~ scholarship to Mercer University, Macon, Ga. He stud 1 music, however, at Wesleyan College for Women. Af~ graduation, he studied in Chicago for a year before jo11 ing the Music Corporation of America, for whom ~ played in some of the orchestras they sent over tJi country.

Despite his heavy work load at the Plaza, a 100-roof hotel, Brother Tabor is generous with his music and 111 played on a number of occasions in New Castle. His t~ ents, experience, and genial manner are serving him wt in this Midwest community where he has made m!il' friends.

Doings at Omega, Purdue University MANY VARIED ACTIVITIES combined to make a busy Spring schedule for members of Omega Chapter at Purdue.

The Penny Carnival, Saturday night, March 2, ushered in Greek Week at Omega and Purdue. The men of Pi Kappa Phi and the women of Phi Mu Sorority collaborated in a production called, "Bomb the Campus." Models of university buildings were constructed on a miniature campus. Then by means of electrically and magnetically controlled planes, darts were dropped on the buildings. Omega received honorable mention for their display after a judging team had viewed over 20 other exhibits.

Candidate Places Second

Once again, Omega's candidate for Goldiggers King proved to be a popular candidate among the coeds on the Purdue campus. This year's cand idate, John Ruby, Carthage, Ind. , received a second place. In 1956, D ave Griffiths, Oxford, Ind ., was selected as the king. John arrived at the scene of the skit in a model A Ford. He was dressed in rags as he sang a parody on "Rags to Riches ." After the song, he guickly changed to a suit of white satin tails and sang "There's Going to Be a Great Day." He was then whisked away in a new convertible. The skit was well received by all of the women's housi ng units.

He Makes a Record "The Rainbow" placed his name in the Mountaineer record book when he hit on 13 consecutive foul shots to break the old record of 11 set in 1939 by another Lion basketeer, Harry Brooks.

Although the season is still in its early stage, Egli is counting on Rainey to continue his top scoring efforts to bolster Lion victory hopes.

Egli is the first to admit that Rainey is far from the best that he has coached at Penn State. When you coach a player of Jesse Arnelle's caliber, you'll have to go some to find anyone better.

However, the Lion mentor readily agrees that Rainey is one of the better players he has coached in his three years at the University.

Egli said that, although Rainey still has a lot to learn about the college game, he has the ability to become one of its better players from the Penn State angle, that is.

"Leisher (Captain Bob Leisher) looked real good, didn't he," is the representative Rainey comment after a winning Nittany effort. When asked about the opposition, he invariably comes out with, "They're tough, real tough."

Rainey's athletic achievements are not limited to basketball alone. Last year he was a reserve outfielder on Joe Bedenk's Lion baseball team after performing as (Conthmed on page 17) Brother Ron Rainey at Penn State University is Alpha Mu's most outstanding athlete.

Come football season, Rainey will be found throwing the passes in the Pi Kapp Intramural touch football offense. Why not? He was the first team quarterback for Johnstown High School in his senior year.

Rainey was initiated into the fraternity in the Fall of 1956 after spending a semester as a pledge.

Dr. James E. Scott, Jr., Alpha '33, College of Charleston, the only practicing physician .i n McClellanville, S. C., died in an automobile accident six miles south of his community the morning of February 6.

His death left McClellanville and neighboring villages-with a population of about 2,000-without a physician in active practice.

At the time of the accident, Brother Scott was en route to Charleston where he was to have assisted in an operation.

His car went out of control at a curve and plunged into a ditch. He was dead on arrival at a hospital.

Brother Scott is survived by his parents, his widow, three sons, a sister, and a brother.

In an interview, Thomas W. Graham, McClellanville druggist and longtime friend of Dr. Scott, said: "It's the biggest tragedy we have had to face. . . . This whole village is in tears. There is no distinction in our sorrow, either, between the white and colored people. Dr. Scott was loved by every one of us. He had been here about 20 , years, and he knew every man, woman, and child in the community.

"His practice wasn't limited to disease, either. He'd listen to a person's troubles as quickly as he would heal the sick-and he always seemed to know the answer."

CHAPTER NEWS

By ELIZABETH H. SMITH Managing Editor "THE MOST OUTSTANDING EVENT OF ALPHA SIGMA during the Winter Quarter was a successful, combined Founders' Day Banquet and Rose Ball," Historian Frank Watkins has reported. The chapter's Rose, Miss Carolyn Duke, an Education major from Isabella, Tenn., was presented.

Recently initiated members of ALPHA SIGMA are Kyle Weems, Greeneville, Tenn.; Harry Shehan, Knoxville, Tenn.; E. C. Braden, Hapeville, Ga.; David Beckler, Ducktown, Tenn.; and James Hunn, Memphis, Tenn., bringing the total undergraduate membership to 19.

For the first time in recent years, the chapter is serving meals on a regular basis.

During the Winter Quarter, ALPHA SIGMA was third in scholarship among the 16 fraternities at the University of Tennessee.

BETA DELTA, Drake University

BETA DELTA'S historian, Gordon Loy, has given highlights of the chapter's two major events during the Fall and Winter.

Under the chairmanship of Jim Feaster, the chapter sponsored, with a vigorous campaign, the successful candidacy of Miss Mary McLaughlin as the student body's representative on the Homecoming Queen's court. The chapter engaged in many of the features of a major political campaign, including a motorcade of banner-carrying, horn-honking autos through the campus each noon. Of course, the motorcade's center of attraction was the candidate, "dazzling one and all with her路 warm sparkling smile."

George Tibbetts created a 15-minute musical comedy for entry in the variety show, "Bulldog Tales." The skit's plot revolved around Nero and his hilarious attempt to burn Rome for the insurance money, all in modern prose and satire. The historian reported that such songs as "Burn the Town, Don't Tell the People" and "Keep the Rome Fires Burning" delighted the capacity audiences during the two nights of performance.

"Brother Dave Skinner as Nero and Brother Herb Johnson as Marceus, supported by a cast of 'hundreds' (including statues that leaped off their pedestals and romped through a lively chorus) gave the audience and judges the fast-paced comedy required to top five other social groups for second place and another success for BETA DELTA," the historian stated.

At the time of writing, BETA DELTA was hoping for a fifth consecutive "First Place" in the annua l float parade.

In February BETA DELTA initiated Ron Barger, Chicago; Bob Beisch, Manning, Iowa; Herb Johnson, Chariton, Iowa; AI Jolliffe, Knoxville Iowa; Jake Mulder, Primghar, Iowa; Jerry Nelson, Burlington, Iowa; and Glenn Peters, Lakeview, Iowa.

After winning first place honors for solo acts at the "Bulldog Tales" with a "terrific" Jazz drum solo, Pledge Paul Senne appeared on TV. There Guy Lombardo, on tour, spied his talents and gave him a spot on his show that evening.

BETA KAPPA, Georgia State College

From BETA KAPPA, Historian Dexter Gatehouse has reported that Richard S. Briggs, Beverly H. Moore, and Allen D. Sloan will graduate in June and that the first two will receive commissions as second lieutenants in the Army.

Miss Nancy Jones, who is pinned to Past Archon Dave Ward, was crowned Chapter Sweetheart at the Rose Ball March 30.

BETA KAPPA is undertaking to raise $10,000 toward a chapter house.

"The tireless Red Cross bloodmobile is with us again, and, if BETA EPSILON does as well on this drive as it did on the previous ones, we will take the plaque for the best percentage for any Greek organization on the campus," according to a report from the chapter.

The IFC Bowling League ended with BETA EPSILON in first place in Division "B" and looking toward another trophy in the roll-offs with the other division. The team, which was composed of eight men, Captain Henry Curry, Alan Adams, Don Webb, Bill Steinheimer, Bob Paden, Bob Dermody, Ron Daniels, and Jerry Richards, were expecting, at the time of writing, to enter the Spring League also.

BETA ETA, Florida State University

From Historian Curt C. Compton, BETA ETA: "BETA ETA has made giant strides this year in general-membership, house improvements, higher scholarship, strengthened brotherhood, and the rise in campus activities. We may not have the finest house on campus, but in our eyes, Pi Kappa Phi at Florida State University is the very best fraternity on campus."

BETA ETA initiated the following neophytes during the first semester: Donald A. Bowlin, Douglas N. Allen, and William W . Branning, Panama City, Fla.; Curt C. Compton, St. Petersburg Fla.; Hugh A. Burch, Jr., Miami, Fla.; Ronald Steurer, Berlin, Conn ., and Albert L. Benoit, Welsh, La. Social Chairman Don Bowlin was responsible for planning several fine informal parties during first semester.

About 15 underprivileged children enjoyed a Christmas party given by BETA ETA. They were entertained by the "antics of Brother Gene Carrouthers" who led children's games and by Santa Claus, alias Warren ("Hippopotamus") Bryson.

Scholastically, BETA ETA finished first semester sixth among fraternities, jumping from thirteenth place.

The chapter's president, Jim Nettles, was elected president of the campus Interfraternity Council for second semester. He is the second Pi Kapp at FSU to hold this campus position, Allan Sundberg having preceded him a few years ago.

Second semester initiates were Edward A . Mason, Syracuse, N. Y.; Paul K. Spaulding, Boston, Mass.; W. _B . Carroll, Statesboro Ga.· Thomas R. Hogle, Tampa, Fla.; Richard G . Berube, Long Bea~h, Calif., and Michael Tolomea, Berlin, Conn.

The young man singing in the fountain at Florida State Univerolty is Brother John G. Brown, Boca Raton, Fla., who is paying off a bet. When Beta Eta Chapter of PI Kappa Phi at the university decided to use the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as one of its two entries in the campus sing this Spring, Brother Brown, a loyal Southerner, refused to participate in the competition. He did promise, however, that if Beta Eta won the contest he would sing the "Battle Hymn" in the fountain. The chapter won and he sang, with a bit of "Dixie" run in.

CHI members played a number of important roles , both on stage and behind the scenes, in the campus Little Theatre production of Shakespeare's "Cymbeline."

Under the direction of the Spring semes ter social chairman, C. ]. Abernathy, CHI has been having some of the best parties in CHI Chapter memory.

One of the most successful parties was held in conjunction with the University's Military Week End, this year under the direction of Gerry Lawrence. Parades, beauty co ntests, and a military ball were highlights, along with the party given by CHI Chapter for the visiting "brass." At this time, ann ouncement was made that the Stetson U niversity rille team had won
