8° FREQUENTLY people forget the little courtesies in/~at mean so much to a guest or visitor. There are

ca ''b'dual courtesies; there are group courtesies that

D0 . e extended-but sometimes people overlook them.

th unng each official visit of the Executive Secretary of pae Fraternity a particular story is told. Perhaps its imh ct can be shared with additional members if recorded utre now. Down Arizona way it seems as if the chapter Pfe~ to (and we trust still does) have a rule requiring IV el ges to always make it a point to shake hands or Ille come any guest in the house the first time they would as eet on any particular visit. Since they had done this afi P 1 ~?ges, the brotherhood continued to also welcome to VIsitors-the object not being for the pledges only "'·Welcome someone but for the house to welcome its

o~est.

a ~ g?od example of how it worked can be found in r~ 1°CI?ent that happened while a national office repag entatJve was at this particular house several years 0 IV · It seems as though one of the new Pi Kappa pledges (as double-dating with a boy from another fraternity /J0~ably because the friend had a car and the Pi Kapp Ph ·n t). Well, the friend came around to the Pi Kappa y t' house to get his buddy, but found he wasn't ready thr: s~ .he came on in the house to wait.. Everyone in he . II.vmg room stood up and greeted h1m and then co )OI?ed the group. As some of the members would a llle m from outside they'd see a guest and go over c~d .speak to him and then go on their way. Still others, llling down from upstairs to play ping-pong or go out 0 th~ a date, would spot the visitor, and before doing anyh Ing else would go over and welcome the boy to the ouse. t Finally the Pi Kapp pledge was ready. He came down ro get his buddy and leave. The crowd in the living 00 c 1l'l stood up, shook his hand and invited him "to tllle back, soon." So they left, the Pi Kapp and his s;'end. They walked out on the front porch. The friend th0 PPed .. . and turned around and walked back into house and toward the living room. The brothers and hedges were returning to their seats but stopped when I e entered. He walked up to them and said, "You know, \Vasn't treated this good when I pledged my house!" r ~h, so much will be gained when we get others to Peaf,ze the importance of the little courtesies that rolllpted something like the above.

l'here is a TEAR-OUT RECOMMENDATION form ;&ain in this issue as there was in the August issue last thear. We have made some changes so that it is easier an ever for our readers to submit names of friends and acquaintances that journey off to college this Fall ~lJ

Gusr, 19sa

so that the fraternity may have the chance to especiaiiy meet them out of all the new students. Additional steps have been taken this time so that the form is not only detachable but can be mailed without add~essing or ~ayin~ postage. It is an interesting, and at times a trag1c, thmg that the American way of life dictates that the only positive way to get a good response from. the mem.be~ship is by mak~ng something as e~sy as poss1ble by ebmmatmg steps wh1ch might otherwise enco~rage someone to de~ay. the initial impulse of cooperatmg. So, we have ehmmated the necessity of cutti~g or tearinl? out of .the form (it is perforated), addressmg or even JUst puttmg a stamp on it (it is preaddressed to us and we will pay the postage). We have done all we can to help you help us and your friends.

~ew ~embers ~ealize the vastness of the Pi Kappa Ph1 Natwnal Advisory set-up or the number of Faithful Brothers involved. Behind the National Office staff stands an army of Volunteers and without these men the Fraternity would be hard put to serve the members and the college community well. Every district is governed by a District President and under him each chapter has its own Chapter Adviser. The National Office recognizes only too well the importance of these men and the hour by hour and day to day job they perform. To keep them well informed and constantly up to date on all matters, the National Office makes it a policy to send each Adviser and District President the same mail as that sent to the undergraduate chapter. Not only do these gentlemen receive the general mail items, but, for every letter written to a chapter (unless it is a personal matter), the Chapter Adviser and the District President receive a copy. This way there are always two men in the area that are fully informed at all times. To save on postage, while the original letter to the chapter goes out the day it is typed, the Chapter Adviser's and District President's copies are mailed once a week with all other copies that have accumu lated during the week.

The Fraternity is indebted to these men who serve so continually outside of the scope of some of the recognition they deserve. It is sad but true that these men are often abused by the thoughtlessness or short-sightedness of undergraduates and it is also true that some wou ld contribute more if the undergraduates wou ld go to them and seek the gentlemen's help. WE SALUTE THESE MEN AND WISH TO LEi' THEM KNOW THAT THEIR WORK DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED OR UNAPPRECIATED . -g. e.

Out of the Past-Or Forty Years Ago By BROTHER WADE S. BOLT, Sigma, University of South Carolina Editor, The Star and Lamp

1915-1920

FORGIVE ME for sacrificing personal news and events incident to 1918, in order that there may be presented a "Bolt's-eye-view" of tendencies and conditions then as compared to the present. In some states both state and private (or sectarian) colleges and universities were operating under restrictions to fraternal societies, signifying a complete disregard for the fundamental rights and privileges of the individual. Either by state legislation or institutional rulings, fraternities and sororities were banned. In that era, as now, there were certain forms of freedom crucified on the cross of social engineering, the issues beclouded by arguments not pertinent to the actual principles and good effects involved. Underground activities in the cause of freedom as demonstrated in the lands of the oppressed have never been frowned upon, but encouraged by our democratic government as a proper deterrent to oppression. But, within our own land, the same sort of preservation of principles was frownc;d upon and discredited. The sub rosa. chapter (m the beginning a means of preservatiOn) became discredited, its good effects nullified.

Forty years ago, a great majority of the undergraduate and alumni members were in the uniform of our country. There was no discount as to their loyalty to country or to Pi Kappa Phi based on this or that status of dupter relations. The more active and zealous spirits of the Fraternity were fostering hopes for, visions of, and plans toward a "national rise" in chapter list and membership, as compared to present peacetime aims of "National Rose" popularity plans. Today, we rely on a dynamic and virile National Office to care for and accomplish those aims. In that period (remote it may seem to the undergraduates of today) the personal appeal of brotherly love and character were all that a chapter achievement concentrated upon. Today, with competitive scholarship computed to the fourth position to the right of the decimal point, chapter house construction fever running to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, social competition, athletic recognition, and the ever present ogre of mounting costs and a cheaper dollar, the man of Pi Kappa Phi may rightly say to us, the pioneers of the first two decades: "You had it easy."

The Immortal Thomas Wolfe! !: By ELIZABETH H. W. SMITH Managing Editor

THE LAST FEW YEARS have brought a strong renewal of interest in the writings of Brother Thomas Wolfe, Kappa '18, University of North Carolina, who died in 1938 at the age of 38.

sy: Si1

Much has been written about this strange young man, his writings, and his family, with the New York Times and The New Yorker contributing heavily. "The legend of his tempestuous talent and his frenzied life will not die soon," Orville Prescott wrote in the New York Times of October 5, 1956, in reviewing "The Letters of Thomas Wolfe," edited by Elizabeth Nowell and published by Scribners.

"If he had not written so many millions of words about himself," Mr. Prescott continued, "it almost seems as if some other novelist would have imagined him as a symbol of the literary artist. Wolfe's neuroticism and nervous instability, his cycles of wild elation and shuddering de.spair, his unhappy love affairs and his search for older and wiser people who could guide and inspire him and with whom he always quarreled, his enthusiasm for life and experience, and his rage at the wicked world and the nasty people in it-all these can be found in other writers. But never were they combined in one self-tormented genius as they were in Wolfe-every experience magnified in his own mind, every emotion a soul-piercing joy or a shattering catastrophe. The emotional immaturity and lack of artistic and intellectual self-discipline that sabotaged Wolfe's books and ruined his life are massively documented in 'The Letters of Thomas Wolfe.' "

Mrs. Julia Wolfe

The April 12 issue of The New Yorker carried an article entitled "Mrs. Julia Wolfe," by Stewart Jackson. In this article the author told about visiting Mrs. Julia Wolfe, mother of Thomas, in Asheville, N. C., two years after Brother Wolfe's death. "When I went up the walk, I noticed the grassless front yard, which was obviously swept with a broom," he said. Over the door was a small sign that read: "My Old Kentucky Home." On the porch, Mr. Johnson met two Summer boarders who were greatly pleased with the cleanliness and inexpensiveness of Mrs. Wolfe's boarding house.

Founder Fogarty Retires

i A.s Probation Officer I FOUNDER SIMON FOGARTY, Alpha '04, College of Charleston, retired May 31 as chief probation officer for the Eastern U. S. District of South Carolina, a Post he had held since July 1, 1943. Previously he served with the Charleston city school tstem and was principal of three elementary schoolsunonton, Mitchell, and Crafts. Be was born in Charleston June 7, 1887, and was graduated from the College of Charleston in 1906. He ~died at the universities of Tennessee, Michigan, and f ew York, receiving the Master's Degree in Education r~m New York University. He married the former ~tss Mary Eugenia R~id . He has two daughtt;}<~. a son, nd seven grandchildren. --------~ K ~---------

I Do You /(now the Story? }'ROM EPSILON Chapter at Davidson College has come some interesting information and a guestion. Brother Ted Dingler, Historian of Epsilon, revealed that he and several other brothers of Epsilon have been ~aki~g freguent visits to the all -girl institution of higher earntng, Salem College, in Winston-Salem, N. C., and ~hat their curiosity has been pigued considerably by the Inscription on one of the two granite lamp posts located ?n each side of a walkway leading to the Science Buildtog. Naturally, the post pictured on the inside front cover Created much interest among the Pi Kapp brothers. No rhcords in the National Office gave any information as to ~ e origin of the inscription, the Greek letters of Pi "'.appa Phi and " '08". A call to Salem College started a search through the ~liege files for information on that inscription and the reek letters of Phi Gamma Nu on the opposite gate. I The Star and Lamp is indebted to Miss Edith A . Kirkand, Director of Public Relations for the college, for the following explanation of the origin of the two Gr.~ek-letter inscriptions: . In looking through our records I find no mentton of the use of these letters (Pi Kappa Phi) other than that they signified the motto, 'Fidelity and Faithfulness,' on a memorial lamp post presented to Salem by the Class of 1908. They had no connection with any fraternal organi~ation

N ''The

column bearing the inscription, 'Phi Gamma u,' was presented by the Class of 1909. Here again the Greek letters stand for the class motto which is given in an old annual as 'To the Victor Belong the Palms.' It seems that Bishop Edward Rondthaler, President of Salem Academy and College from 1884 to 1888 and a member of the Board of Trustees for a number ?f years thereafter, would size up each class and give tt a motto according to his impression. These mottoes 1958

Founder Simon Fogarty

were very meaningful to the classes of that particular era, and I recall that fifty-year reunion groups of late have all spoken with pride of their special motto given to them by the beloved Bishop (Bishop of the Moravian Church, Southern Province) ." -------- ~K垄 ---------

His First in the Post How many Pi Kapps who read "Bait for a Bachelor" in the March 1 issue of the Sat11rday Evening Post knew that the author, Frank A . Clarvoe, is one of their brothers? He was initiated into Kappa Chapter at the University of North Carolina in 1917. The identity of Brother Clarvoe was made known to The Sta1路 and Lamp by Brother Richard ("Dick") Young, Kappa, who was at the university with him . Brother Clarvoe's story is the first one he has had published in the Sat11rday Eveni11g Post. In the paragraph which accompanied a picture of Brother and Mrs. Clarvoe, the Post pointed out that when Brother Clarvoe gave up newspaper editing for free-lancing, he took freedom so seriously that he put himself and his wife on wheels. Freguently they lock their Daly City, Calif., apartment and "go gypsying around in a house trailer. " If Brother Clarvoe's concentration is upset by noise or other unpleasant distractions in a trailer park, it is easy for him to move his house elsewhere. 路 7

The Fraternity's Highest Honor Award THE FRATERNITY'S highest honor award for alumni is the Merit Citation . This award was established at the instigation of Brother Albert W. Meisel, Alpha Xi, at the Seventeenth Supreme Chapter Meeting in New York in 1934. Brother Meisel's motion, which was carried, and became Section 7, Law XII, is as follows: "Exceptional meritorious service by a member of the Fraternity may be recognized by a suitable certificate of citation. The National Council shall nominate to the Supreme Chapter at its biennial meeting such members as in its opinion may be worthy of said honor, and upon a majority vote of the Supreme Chapter, the award shall be made. After the Eighteenth Supreme Chapter Meeting, not more than six such awards shall be made by the same Supreme Chapter. This law shall be immediately effective upon its adoption." Since that time, 55 of Pi Kappa Phi's outstanding members have received this award. The most recent recipients of it are Brother Grant K. Palsgrove, Alpha Tau, and Brother Kenneth A. Bellinger, Alpha Theta, who received the award at the 26th Supreme Chapter Meeting in Philadelphia in 1956.

At that time he probably had little premonition of 1 tntng RTS and even less of the service he was to bender as a brother of RTS and later as a charter meme~. and Adviser to Alpha Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The 'Prof,' as he is affectionately called, first became hssociated with the Society on Septe1nber 26, 1908, when i ~:Vas petitioned and accepted for membership. He was tOtbated on February 20, 1909, in the RTS rooms of clhe Frear Build ing. From this tnomen t, he began to hVote his services to the support and betterment of his c ~~e~ Fraternity. i Bts first official service to the house was as RecordSecretary to which he was elected May 15, 1909, ; 掳.Y a short time after his initiation as a brother. It 5 in Interesting to note that the Profs signature, as RecordStig s.ecretary, appears on the original copy of the Con19~~on and By-laws of RTS adopted on September 24,

IIEAR YE, hear ye, the last call for the gathering of . all good Pi Kappa Phis and their friends in Atlanta 15 now being made. The Convention dates are August .18, 19, and 20. All plans have been finalized, and it 15 going to be a very specia l occasion for all those who attend. . The early reports indicate the largest pre-registration In many years. And for good reason, too. There are certai nly many extra-special plans being developed by ~e local hosts to make one and all very welcome. Special adies programs have been worked out to entertain them --yet still allowing ample free time-while all the men are in meetings. And those meetings for the brothers h~ve been planned to accomplish the necessary work \Vtth ample opportunity left for relaxation.

n, in

The climax, of course, will be the big 27th Supreme Chapter Meeting Banquet. At this banquet the National Champion Chapter will be cited, the Master Chapters recognized, the President's Pl aque Publication Award revea led, and other special announ cements made. The

Banquet wi ll be followed by the Grand Ball. Dates are being provided for the undergraduates who indicate such a desire to the proper committee . The regist ration fees are as follows: Alumni and Undergraduate Registration (full time-other than delegate) Ladies Registration (full time) Banquet Only (or date ticket) Dance Only

$15.00 $12.00 $ 5.50 $ 5.00

For the different programs, you may consult the fo llowing pages. The undergraduate registration is also running well ahead of previous years. Many chapters are making plans to have large delegations present. It is just impossible for one person to gain and retain all that is offered during the numerous discussions, official sessions, or midnight conferences. As has been said before, "Man, you have n't really lived until you have attended a National Convention. "

SPECIAL consideration was given the attending brothers when the plans were being developed for the Convention. Because the Supreme Chapter Meeting is the ultimate source of authority in Pi Kappa Phi, ampl e time has been arranged so that numerous discussions may be held and the proper business transacted. Yet, time has been all owed for the lighter side of the meeting also. A model initiation is p lanned for one evening, along with some special attention to other rituals of the Fraternity. The alumni host committee h as planned a specia l evening also. The meetings wi ll be broken down in to three types: roundtables or conferences, committees, and the Supreme Chapter Meeting itself. The undergraduate roundtable and the alumni conferences meet to discuss their different problems and feelings. From these meetings recommendations are developed which are passed on to the Conventi on .committees for further discussion and eva luation. The recommendations then go to yet another committee for proper wording and come out on the Supreme Chapter Meeting fl oor for fin al action. Important as these meeti ngs are, another important by-product of a Convention is the opportu nity of exchangi ng ideas with other Pi Kapps and discussing mu-

"At her neck was a pin-a cameo, as I rememer. Her face had been patted hurriedly and extrava&antly with a starch-white powder, and she wore a round dot of rouge in the center of each cheek."

The visitor asked about Thomas' last sickness, and she obliged with a detailed account. She said that he went to Seattle where "he caught pneumonia . . . . He got sicker and sicker. Those doctors of his were always on the phone to me. They called me for three days straight, always collect, and once they called me twice in one day. And grea.t bi~ bills. Two-~ixty-seven. Threesixty-eight. Another t1me 1t was four-s1xty-three. I finally said to them, 'if you want to get in touch with me, why don't you send me a night letter?' " . The doctors decided to send Brother Wolfe to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore; so Mrs. Wolfe arranged to meet him in Chicago. Since he was fond of peaches, she went armed with a "great big sack of Georgia peaches." In the depot in Chicago, "I went up behind him and I put my hands over his eyes and I said, 'Do you know who this is, Tom?' And he says, 'Why, it's Mrs. Julia Wolfe.' That was always a little joke of ours he often played on me. Sometimes he wouldn't call me Mama, but he'd say, 'Hello, Mrs. Julia Wolfe.' Well, I knew right then he wasn't as sick as those doctors in Seattle said. Then I tried another thing on him. After we were settled on the train, I opened up my pocketbook, and I had a little bottle of perfume in it he'd given me that Spring, ~or !vfot~er's Day .. .. I n~ver had opened it-:just earned 1t w1th me. And I got Jt out, and I waved 1t back and forth in front of his eyes, and I said, 'Tom, you know what this is?' And he said, 'That's what I gave Mrs. Julia Wolfe for Mother's Day.' Well, I thought, he is just not as sick as .those doctors said. We had a real nice trip on to Balt1more together. I kept peeling peaches for him and sticking pieces in his mouth." End Came Suddenly Mrs. Wolfe said that she went to see her son twice a day during the si.x days he was in th~ hospital._ ~he last time she was w1th h1m, she related, He was s1tt10g up in bed, and he was whistl!ng, and then ~uddenly the most terrible look came into h1s eyes, and he just slumped down. Later that day it was all over. They'd had to operate on him, and do you know that when they split open his skull, those doctors told me that from one ear to the other it was a solid mass of tubercular cells?" "You know, Mrs. Wolfe," Mr. Johnson said, "I think your son was a great, great m~n . . . . Whe~ Y?U h~ve several children, do you know nght away wh1ch IS go10g to be the outstanding one and which ones aren't?" "Oh, I always knew about Tom," she answered. 'Td brought up a big family before he came along, and I knew he was different. Take with reading. I never could get one of the others to read a book, and Tom used to bring home as many books as the library would allow him." "He was very fond of you, wasn't he?" Mr. Johnson queried. " He and I always got on just fine," she said. "There was an awfu l lot of hullabaloo when that first book of his came out. People in this town were sore as could be, and Tom didn 't dare come back for a while. But all (Con1i1111ed 011 page 20)

Dr. Sholl Is Recognized For Meritorious Service From Alpha Theta Chapter Michigan State University THE PATE on the calendar read December 10, 1957, and the scene was Lansing's Famous Restaurant amid the decor of the Skyline Room. Archon Richard Goetz was presenting to Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl a gold plaque to commemorate 30 years of meritorious service to Alpha Theta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Dr. Sholl's service to Alpha Theta has been beyond the call of duty, of the var-iety that cannot be purchased for money- that intangible essence· so often taken for granted, yet more often than not, when taken away, so poignantly missed. Dr. Sholl's guardianship of Alpha Theta began back in 1927 when he was initiated into the Michigan State Chapter. At the same time he was appointed Chapter Adviser. In 1946, he was called on •to fill the vacant District Archon post, from which he retired after three years of rendering g reat assistance and service to District X. While District Archon, he assisted in organizing the Detroit Alumni, the end result being a sound Building Corporation, of which he is now president. This same Building Corporation made possible the purchase of our present residence at 507 East Grand River, East Lansing, Michigan, through the sale of choice lots owned by Alpha Theta. Now, this house has been sold and more money is being raised to build a new house on MSU's proposed Fraternity Row. This is the biggest move in Alpha Theta's history, and once again Dr. Sholl is in the midst of it all. 20

~~Harbor

That Cradles J17orld"

By BROTHER JOHN L. PHILLIPS, HISTORIAN Alpha Theta, Michigan State University

THE THEME of Michigan State's Water Carnival this year was Sabrina and the Ports of the World. Sabrina is a duck who has gained fame all during MSU's Spring term by appearing at all campus events to advertise MSU's annual water carnival. A bandstand was set up along the banks of our famous Red Cedar River which winds through Michigan State's beautiful campus. Each living unit on campus participated by working on a float. One men's unit and one women's unit teamed up to compete for the judges' awarding of trophies. There were 34 floats. This year MSU toured all the ports in the world, starting with New Orleans and ending very fittingly with the Port of New York. The Pi Kapps worked with the Alpha Phi Sorority, one of the best groups on State's campus. Our theme was serious and presented a very thoughtful and patriotic, but yet unusual approach to "New York Cradles the World. " As the float started down the river, Atlas was swaying with the weight of the world. Just as the float reached the judges' stand, he lowered the large rubber world into the cradle which started rocking, and assumed the position of "The Thinker" (after a moment of stretching). The backdrop was the New York skyline in hues of gray with gold letters spelling out "New York City." A silhouetted manikin was the Statue of Liberty, with a large white cradle in the foreground. Atlas was all gold and glittered when the white spot was on it. Actually, the big surprise came when Atlas moved, he looked like metal. When Atlas lowered the world, there was a big ahh . . . that could be heard all along the river. The large rubber world was dark blue and gold.

The continuity went as follows: "What have we here? Atlas, are you all right? Sorne· body help him, he's staggering. Has Atlas been out to the Gables, or is the world and its troubles getting toO heavy? Come now, what's the problem?" ,, Music: "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands.Id "Oh! So that's it. The added weight of two Wor 1'1 wars, atomic explosions, international conflict, and ndo the race to conquer the universe has made his bur en too heavy to bear. But cheer up, Atlas, we've got a cure for that aching back, New York City, the most farnouf Port au Call, (music: "Lullaby of Broadway") home 0 the harbor that welcomes ships, goods, and people fro~ every corner of the earth. The harbor that shelters th United Nations to promote peace, the Statue of Liber~ to further understanding between nations, and the hafd bor that extends tolerance to every culture, custom, aES creed, NEW YORK, THE HARBOR THAT CRADL THE WORLD." 11 Co-chairmen from Pi Kappa Phi were Stuart Stegga : a Junior in Engineering from Westfield, N . J., and B.er bert Wendt, a Junior in Psychology from Tawas Ctt}'• Mich. Alpha Phi's co-chairmen were Nancy John~on from Chicago and Beverly Thayer from Clare, :Mtch· Phil Hedges, a Senior in Engineering from Synder, N. was in charge of construction and design of the {load Bill Wells, a Lansing, Mich., Junior in Engineering an the famous MSU Cheerleader, was Atlas. . Ie The trophy was well deserved because every stngp· member of Pi Kappa Phi turned out in the good ..; Kapp spirit to do his share of the work. The sptf'e of really working hard together and having everyP~ 0 work was probably worth as much or maybe more;. us than the beautiful three-foot trophy that adorns. ot~: 1 mantel. This report sounds as if the Pi Kapps dtd all, but all the glory, laud, honor, and everything else l'1.1 also goes to our fine partners, the Alpha Phis. ~

CHAPTER NEWS

&oac

ELIZABETH H. W. SMITH

I therr 162~

Managing Editor Happy Vacation to all of you! Historian Britton E. Taylor, ALPHA, reported that the "Mister College of Charleston" Contest sponsored by ALPHA Chapter in March was a big success-especially since the winner was an ALPHA man. ALPHA'S officers for next semester have been elected as follows: Archon, Charlie Williams; Treasurer, Billy Moody; Secretary, Walter Worsham; Warden, Charlie Carter; Historian, Warren Almond, and Chaplain, Vasco Pickett. "In almost every phase of endeavor, this has been an outstanding Spring season for RHO," Historian Randy Kilman declared in his Jetter. Washington and Lee's Spring Dance Set launched a long and fruitful series of parties that continued until after examinations. Johnny Long and Jimmy McPartland provided the music, and the surrounding women's institutions of higher learning, the companionship. Lexington's Robert E. Lee Hotel was the scene of RHO'S Rose Ball, preceded by dinner, March 22. Miss Mary Liz Lyle, a junior at Rando lph-Macon Woman's College, was crowned Rose Queen. Jim Goar, Sarasota, Fla., was justly proud of his Queen . It is reported that "greatest credit" is due Irv Ebaugh, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the tremendous success of the Ball which was acclaimed as the best of its kind in chapter history. RHO'S officers for next term are as follows: Archon, Mike O 'Day, Baltimore, Md.; Treasurer, Cliff Mitchell, Chevy Chase, Md.; House Manager, Bill Clark, Richmond, Va.; Secretary, Douglas Smink, Baltimore; Historian, Randy Kilmon, Baltimore; Chaplain, Jack Hopkins, Haddonfield, N. J.; Warden, Bill Loeffler, Arlington, Va.; and Pledgemaster, Paul Plawin, Norfolk, Va. The newly elected Pledgemaster has acquired a new protege in Ted Hardin, Washington, D. C. Under Paul's tutelage, Ted is reported as "shaping up nicely." Since his affiliation with the chapter, Ted has demonstrated his abilities in athletic and scholastic achievements. Cliff Mitchell has Jed the house to accomplishments in intermural sports far above any in recent years, Historian Kilman declared . Results recently calculated show the chapter to stand eighth on the W&L campus in this department, an inprovement over the 16th slot RHO occupied at the same time last season. "A final note of optimism is RHO'S scholastic expectations" for the semester which was closing when this report was being written. The Historian said that the chapter seems to have struck a compromise between work and pleasure which will be decidedly reflected when the final grades are posted. Brothers with low averages have shown a marked improvement, and those with good grades have maintained them. "We here at Upsilon Chapter are very proud to report that we have received a trophy for the best scholarship improvement here at the University of Illinois among all of the 56 fraternities on this campus," Historian John Baker said. "The trophy was based on the improvement from the Fall semester, 1956, to Fall semester, 1957. The trophy was presented to Archon Jack Schmidel at the annual Awards Banquet in Apri l. The banquet is sponsored by the Interfraternity Council at the university. "The trophy is a traveling award which is awarded to a fraternity which has best improvement from a previous semester, Fall to Fa ll , Spring to Spring. However, the Fraternity received a plaque which we have hanging in our living room and will keep here at the chapter. This Summer, UPSILON'S house wi ll be tuck-pointed and generally repaired so that next Fall when we return to school the house wi ll be in almost new condition. It is hoped this new remodeling will help us with Fall Rush. "Our Social Calendar this year has included our four big 26

dances here at the chapter house," Historian Baker continued. "J_t was concluded by the crowning of the Rose Queen, Miss Dtana Rozak from Chicago. The crowning took place at the annual Rose Ball May 10." PSI'S Chapter Letter included plans for the Conclave of the chapters in Districts One and Seven to be held May 9-11, with PSI serving as host. The schedule of events called for parties and meetings, the meetings to include discussion of finances , rushing, and pledge training. PSI entertained with a Parents' Week End Picnic at one of the local parks this Spring. One of the features of this picniC is the Pledge-Undergraduate Softball Game in which the broth路 ers always win. They won again this year, although the pledges put up a better struggle than in previous years, the report re路 vealed. ALPHA SIGMA'S Historian, Neil Hayes, has announced that the chapter has had a "very successful year." During Rush Week last Fall , ALPHA SIGMA pledged 11 men, and since then, five more. Eight of them have been initiated. Percentagewise, Pi Kappa Phi at Tennessee has made a greater growth than any other fraternity on campus. "We have accomplished some singular achievements in campus po litics," the Historian said. "Brother Aden ("Jitter") Adams wa~ elected sophomore class Vice-President, and we have gained vanous other campus honors. Our pro~ress in Intramurals haS been encouraging. Our sports highl ight was during the basketball tournament when we reached the semi-finals onl y to be defeated by a strons AGR team. We had previously beaten AGR by one point in league play. Some trophy collecting sports were shuffleboard, ping-pong, and tennis, Brothers Pippi n and :McPherson were selected as league All-Stars in basketball and softball, respectively. "Socially speaking, the brothers had an enjoyable year," Historian Hayes continued. "We have had some good parties, the THE

The newly appointed Rush I &o amnan is Brother Aden Adams. If any alumni have some th od recommendations on Tennessee freshmen, please send to Brother Adams or the Archon at the Chapter House, 16~rn8 Yale Ave., Knoxville, T enn ." RALPHA SIGMA'S officers for next term are: Archon , Kyle Ch Weems; Treasurer, Thomas Banks; Secretary, Elbert Co les; to aplat n, Claude McPherson; Warden, E. C. Braden, and Hisrtan, Neil Hayes. 1 M13 ETA EPSILON'S Historian, William H. Baker, reported of arch 24 that "the coming of February brought the graduation A. one of our members. Brother Henry M. Curry, 446 1 N. Af&nes, Kansas City 16, Mo. , was graduated with a B. S. in echantcal Engineering. Brother Curry was initiated March 9 g~ 1957, and as a member held the office of Treasurer. Upon th adu~tion, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in fuet Atr Force, and will be called for active duty in the near ure. i "The Pi Kappa Phi Bowling Team finished in fifth place n the Winter JFC Leag ue, " Histori an Baker stated.

BETA XI at Central Michigan College held its annual Rose Ball in the Hotel Chieftain April 26. The evening was climaxed by the crowning of the Rose Queen, Miss Joanne Hyatt of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority, by Archon AI Schultz. The dance was termed "a tremendous success." The Rose Ball Committee was headed by Russ Broderick. BETA XI'S officers for next term are as follows: Archon, Russ Broderick; Treasurer, Phil Bomershiem; Secretary, Charles G. Kamachos; Historian, Ed Garety; Social Chairman, Ed Garety; Chaplain, Hal Blum, and Warden, Phil Bomershiem. ----------~K~'----------
