th;~i December, 1776, Thomas Paine wrote: "These are the sumef .that try men's souls: The Summer soldier and servicens £ 1 ~~ patriot will, in this crisis shrink from the the lo 0 country; but he that stands it now, deserves Th·ve fn thanks of man and woman." at IS~ ~ t repeated quotation is pertinent to fraternities ley F ' ut the days are not dismal as they were at Valas cofdgei albeit the.pre~ent Winter quarter may be just hearts · n that '7'1.nter s campaign there were strong thin Bwho were w1llmg to stick it out through thick and the · u~ those days were much more rigorous and lacked forti~; or}s of today, and conditions challenged the dressed e 0 the strongest of men.

own experience. Most of the little I know about etiquette I learned at a fraternity or rather it was impressed on me (an art almost forgotten in modern fraternity life). I was a very poor farm boy and lacked polish. I was surprised how easy it was to pass things at the table if it was done correctly. The fear of introducing people disappeared when I knew I was doing it properly. It is hard for me to recall what I learned from booKs in my undergraduate work, but I can recall many of the things that helped to convert me from an awkward country boy to a "halfway" polished citizen. Manners usually are the disti~guishing features between a fraternity and nonfraternlty man.

I remember that before joining a fraternity I lived in 102A. My room mate was a musician. He worked his way through school playing in an orchestra. He was n~ver. there, and when he was, he either slept or played h1~ slide trombone or his "peck" horn (short trombone with valves). I wonder where he is? Never heard from him. I also wonder what happened to my room mate from room 241B. I never receive a chain or news letter from my dormitory friends .

A little "brainstorming" on the part of fraternities might help. Have you ever prepared a balance sheet of th~ strong and weak. points of your fraternity? This game m1ght cause yo~;~ to ~~prove yourself and your fraternity.

The strong pomts m1ght help build up your own ego a.nd hell: you become a stronger exponent of fraternity ltfe. Bestdes, the good features are so evident to you that you may fail to stress them or appreciate them.

I am thinking of one if I am permitted to reach into my own experience. While in the army we had to line up for everything, inspection, medical examination, shots, clothes, and last but not least- chow. Since then I hate t? .line up or as the English queue up. Can you imagine l~ntng up for cho~ practically everyday of your college ltfe? You men enJOY a great privilege of sitting down to eat in pleasant surroundings, being well prepared, tas.ty meals, and served by white jacketed waiters. You enJOY this privilege at no more cost than if you had to wait in line to have your card punched, carry your own tray, and th~n search for a table if there are any left. .Maybe thmgs aren't as bad at the fraternities as we thmk, and we may have more good points than other people give us credit for.

All-American Schuette

By BROTHER JOHN REMIAS, Historian Alpha Upsilon, Drexel

RARELY, it seems, does Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity nationally have an All-American athlete in its membership. It is therefore Alpha Upsilon's extreme pleasure to introduce its own member in this hallowed positionAll-American Lacrosse Star, Brother H. William Schuette, Alpha Upsilon '56, Drexel. (See inside front cover.)

Brother Bill, also known as "Big Schweat" to the current brotherhood, is a quiet, reserved, conscientious, and hardworking student as well as athlete. Coming to Drexel from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Bill enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum in 1953. At Baltimore Poly he took the "B" course and played lacrosse for two years. Nursing a deep desire to learn to play the game better, Brother Bill immediately went out for the JV s9uad in his first year at Drexel.

Gaining valuable expenence in the basic fundamentals he had learned earlier, "Schweat" rapidly became a natural on the field of battle.

Playing three years of varsity lacrosse, Bill received many honors and awards for his prowess on the field.

He was well respected by the opposition for his fast, shifty, and "heady" playing abilities. Used as an attack n:an all the ~ime, Bill. played the creese and feeder positions. extenstvely dunng the last couple of seasons in the l!neup. Last yt;ar, his final varsity season, Bill was appomted .c?-captat~ of the team . Playing t~e difficult feeder postttOn behmd the goal most of the ttme, Bill's aggressiveness, stamina, and beautiful stickwork got him the team high totals in goals and assists.

Furthering his lacrosse interests, Brother Schuette is currently coaching Drexel's freshman lacrosse team and has also become a lacrosse official. He will be scheduled to officiate at many college lacrosse games in the area this Spring.

In the chapter, Brother Bill has held several offices and is currently steward at the house. A great social man, Brother Schuette quite often gets together with blood Brother Bob, also a member of the chapter, to do a really great Charleston step. For the last couple of years it has been standard policy for the "Schweats" to steal the show from bands and sponsors alike while doing their fabulous Charleston routine.

After graduation this Spring, Brother Bill hopes to play with some professional lacrosse teams and also to officiate wherever his employment may be. Alpha Upsilon wishes the best of luck to a real gentleman and sportsman, Brother H. William Schuette-All-American.

Out of the Past-or-Forty Years Ago (From The Star and Lamp of Septembe1路, 1919) THE LEAD STORY, "The Problem of ReconE struction," was picked up from Banta's Gteek xchcmge. It discussed various problems encountered by those who returned to college after the ;ar to. help put their chapters on a firmer basis of P~rattons. The closing paragraph stated: li The solution. of the problem of reconstructi?n es, as I have tned to show, in strong leadershtp, ~ conservative social policy, careful attention to 2a~ces, and by utilizing the help, financial and a Vtsory, of interested alumni. If everyone pulls together, we'll soon find smooth sailing."

"Yictory Day" was celebrated with wild enthustasm.

Special evangelistic work, need for larger school quarters and plans for expansion, request for frayers for the school project and for more Chrislao teachers were also included.

He confided at the end of his letter that he was awaiting the arrival of his fiancee.

An article reproduced from The Indian Witness, published in Lucknow, India, gave an ac~~unt of Brother Odgers' wedding to Miss Doris b ater, Lincoln, Nebr., April 25, 1919, in Thourn Memorial Church, Calcutta, India.

Georgia Chapters Form District

May 3, 1919, representatives of the four Georgia

chapt~rs held a banquet in Atlanta, under the spon-

s~rshtp of Georgia Iota Chapter, Georgia School T~chnology. It was decided that the four xleorgla chapters should form a district and that ab~a Omicron should be invited to join. The llleettng was closed with a prayer by the chaplain ~f ~ota for Supreme Guidance for the Fraternity Unng this period of reconstruction. . ~he three beautifully written obituaries memoyallzed Harry Faison Shaw, Epsilon '14, Davidson, ohn (James?] Theodore Monroe, South Carolina 2eta '11, and William Joel Bowen, Jr., Alpha '15, College of Charleston. . When the war broke out, Brother Shaw enlisted 10 the United States Naval Reserve Force as a first class seaman. He attended Officers' Material School 0

at Charleston, S. C. He received his commission in August, 1919, and was ordered to the U.S.S. Eclipse, an S. P. boat. Later, while stationed at the Brooklyn Naval Yard, awaiting his ship, a transport, he was taken ill with Spanish Influenza.

Bronchial pneumonia developed, and he passed away December 19, 1918.

Brother Monroe, a charter member of South Carolina Zeta and a member of the Supreme Council for two years, enlisted in the Navy and reported for duty July 21, 1918. While at this post he was stricken with influenza. Later he developed pneumonia and died October 8, 1918. Brother Monroe was a brother of another Zeta member, Brother C. A. Monroe, Zeta '15.

Spruill, Jr., North Carolina ~appa; Brother R. L. Young, North Carolina Kappa, giving alumni news for Charlotte, N. C., and Brother Louis Merritt, Georgia Lambda.

Magazine's Success Rests with Members

An editorial, "We Permit Nothing but Success to Greet Us," pointed out, among many other things, that part of the responsibility for "the success of the magazine and the factors which will contribute to its success" rests with the members.

A "What About It?" department presented several topics for consideration by the membership, including one that the magazine be issued more frequently, possibly once a month, September through May, and once during the Summer. There was also the matter of the League of Nations, some of the points of which the writer wished to discuss with chapters, alumni, and those who attend the convention.

Four chapters were represented by Chapter Let. ters. The one from Eta, Emory University, was signed by J. P. Tomlinson, Correspondent; the one from Georgia Iota, by Louis Young Dawson, Jr., Grapter; from North Carolina Kappa, University of North Carolina, by W. P. Andrews, Grapter, and from Georgia Lambda, by Hal McWhirter, Grapter.

When Pi Kappa Phi was 15 years old it had fewer than a thousand members, undergraduate and alumni, with a large percentage of them serving in the armed forces. In this issue of the magazine was started a list of the members who were in the service, in so far as the names were available. Gamma had 41, Iota had 53, and Kappa, 12.

The Installation FILII FORTUNAE, the group to become Beta Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi , was organized in May of 1951. It was the first social fraternity to be organized on the Valdosta State College campus, Valdosta, Ga., and grew out of the need felt that the men students should be represented by a good organiz1tion at what had been until 1950 a school for women. T he fraternity has been dominant on the campus ever since, though other groups have been organized as imitations of th is origi nal group.

The local fraternity contacted Pi Kappa Phi in 1954.

T he many local alumni of the national organization had made the name of Pi Kappa Phi familiar to them.

Severa l Traveling Counselors visited the local group through the years while awaiting the approval of the Board of Regents to permit national fraternities to enter the campus. Finally this approval was obta ined, and Nationa l President W. Bernard Jones, Jr. , and Past National 6

President Theron A. Houser journeyed to the campus !I th look over the situation. Local alumni and the ch apte~ ~ Florida State University also concurred with their tn pression of the group and the growth possibilities offereu Fi lii Fortunae's adviser was Business Manager of th' College, and the College President was found to be Pi Kappa Phi .

Valdosta State College VALDOSTA STATE COLLEGE is a four-year, coeducational unit of the University system of the State of Georgia. It is, of course, located in Valdosta, Ga. A 7

sketd1 of its history would start with the Georgia Legis lature in 1906, which establi shed what was to bec0~1 V.S.C. It was not until 1911, however, that buildtO construction started. The city of Valdosta gave 60 acrr. of woodlands and $50,000 in money to meet the stat appropriations.

It was 1913 when the doors were finally opened, college offering only a two-year course. The first na 111 . _ _ for the school was the South Georgia State Normal lege for Young Ladies. In time a full four-year was offered, and the name and size of the changed. During the war, as an emergency measure, the first male students were received. This in 1943.

A million untold stories.

Henry Bartlett's began a long time ago in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he was born, the on ly son of a Congregational minister. He has two younger sisters.

Henry couldn't walk or sit until he was four when he was placed un.der the care and training of Dr. Earl Carlson, a pioneer in CP treatment and author of the book: "Born That Way." To this day Carlson, now ill and incapacitated, is a hero to Henry. " It makes me sick inside to think that one who has helped so many is now helpless himself."

The biggest problem for the youn.g palsy victim was his speed1. It took 10 years of intensive training.

"My S's and L's were a mess," he recalled.

Determined to earn a higher education, Henry was graduated with a B.S. D egree from Florida Southern College in Lakeland where he majored in sociology and psychology.

He was a member of the Student Senate, wrote a music column for the paper.

He made "Who's Who Among American Students," Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, and Omicron Delta Kappa Honorary Society.

The 26th Supreme Chapter meeting i~ Atlanta last August conferred its high•'' honor award, the Merit Citation, on rr tiring National Treasurer Ralph W.

Brother Noree~· left, is receiving the Merit Citation fro~ Brother James Bell, New York Alu"'"' Chapter President.

Past Treasurer Noreen Receives Merit Citation APPROXIMATELY 70 New York area alumni and Alpha Xi Chapter members ce lebrated Pi Kappa Phi's 54th birthday with a banquet at Michael's Restaurant in New York December 5. Among the alumni present, nine chapters were represented, indi cati ng the national character of the New York group.

New York Alumni Chapter President Jim Bell, Alp ha Xi, pres ided and asked each brother to stand and announce his name, chapter, and year. The youngest present was Brother Michael Power, Alpha Xi's newest initiate; oldest was Brother Herman Fuchs, who helped found Psi Sigma Fraternity in 1901 at Brooklyn Polytechnic and who became a Pi Kapp in 1928 when Psi Sigma became Alpha X i Chapter. Brother Fuchs served Psi Sigma as Chapter Treasurer until his graduation in 1904, has been Treasurer of the Chapter Alumni group ever since, and is in no small measure respo nsible for its long and successfu l existence.

After dinner, Alpha Xi Ard1on Joe Tringali presented his report on the state of the chapter, and Alpha Xi Representative Bill Harahim discussed the 1958 National Convention.

Foll owing the _p~esentation _of ~arious Alpha Xi Chapter awards (tradtttonal at thts dtnner) , came the highlight of the evening-Alumn i President Jim Bell announced that at the 26th Supreme Chapter Meeting our Fraternity had conferred its highest honor award, the Merit Citation, on Brother Ralph Noreen, Gamma, and presented to him the scroll and lapel button. Since the establi shment of the award in 1934, only 55 other Pi Kapp Alumni have received it. The award is made to members of the Fraternity for "exceptionally meritorious service." As Chairman of the Fi nance Committee and as N ational Treasurer, Brother Noreen has served our Fratern ity long and well- no award was ever more deserved.

The following New York Alumni Chapter officers for 10

ALL OF FLAGLER STREET seemed caught up in ~ kind of softness.

Shadows of the night blunted the edges and angleS of the buildings and fell across the slender figure of the solitary young man at the orange crate.

He patted his stack of papers into place under the light, limping busily around as he readied for busineSS· The lull was temporary. " It's a very busy corner," explained Henry Bartlett, 26, of his station at Second Avenue and Flagler. " I sell lots of papers."

He paused .

"Now peanuts, I could not sell," he confided. "The reason is very simple. I do not like peanuts."

He spoke in the measured meter of a cerebral palsy victim , framing each word deliberately. His blue eyes were sad, lined with a deep fringe of lashes. But hiS sm ile had humor and the warm sweetness of a man whO has learned patience.

He was a college man doing a high school job-and hop ing hard.

Epsilon, Davidson, Moves Into New House

By HISTORIAN TED DINGLER

Epsilon Chapter JN SEPTEMBER of 1958 the brothers of Epsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at Davidson College, Davidson, N . C., moved into one of the most beautiful chapter houses on the campus. Built at a cost of approximately $38,000, Epsilon's new house was the most needed of any of .the twelve built by the college for Davidson's social fraternities. The new house gave Epsilon a "home" for the first time since the old chapter house burned in December, 1957.

The first thing one notices as one approaches the house is the tasteful, columned front, surmounted by the wrought iron letters, "II K ~." Entering the front door, one can move from the vestibule into one of three rooms: a card room which doubles as office and telephone booth 12

for the brothers, the dining room, and the spacious li1 ing room. The dining area makes it possible for all th' brothers to eat together in one room for the first tin1e The kitchen from whid1 the food is served is near!) three times as large as th e old one, with plenty of tn01 ing room for cooks, waiters, and Miss Johnsie She! our veteran dietician and housemother.

Imaginative Interiors All the houses on the fraternity court were built give the same floor space and floor plans, but a range of imaginative interiors are in evidence. w'''"""'.,. from a limited budget, the Pi Kapps achieved the best over-all effect in their interior decorating.

The walls are a restful shade of green, as are floor-length draperies. The living room, a card and vestibule have a light brown wall-to-wall Dominating the living room is a dark brown sofa. The dining room has been furnis hed with four finished tables, and new duirs.

The basement chapter room is still in the process being fi nished. At present it contains several chairs sofas, and a 24-inch television set. An unusual

Birth of the Dream

Brother Frank L. Dennis

"JF A MAN can write a better book; preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap, than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door." - Ralph lJ'/a/do Emerson.

From the great Southwest, the genial Brother Frank L. Dennis, Alpha Gamma '25, University of Oklahoma, has beaten many paths to fields of service in various parts of this country as a journalist and in Europe as both journalist and diplomat. His paths have finally brought him back to Washington, D . C. And now, because of the fruition of one of his dreams thousands are beating a path to the door of that dream: come-true, the National Historical Wax Museum at 500 26th St., N. W., at E, Washington, D . C. One beautiful day this Spring, when the d1erry blossoms were in full bloom around Washington's Tidal Basin, this writer went to Washington to talk with the man who not only had the dream but also the will to see the project through its myriad of beginning problems 14

In his l?ve.ly office on the ninth floor of the Common· wealth Butldm.g, the gracious and obliging father of t~' museum explamed that the dream was born in Paris JC 1953 when he and Mrs. Dennis were hosts to their ne~t· d?or Washington neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Richard J Rtddell and the four Riddell children. When the Rid· dells. expressed their .Pleasu.re at seeing the :Must( Grevm, the wax works In Pans, which the Dennises hJ' suggested .they v~sit, Brother Dennis proposed that J ~ould be mterestlng to have such a museum in Wash· tngton,. dev?ted to telling American history througt· three-dtmenswnal .representations of great moments an° great personages 111 U. S. history. Mr. Riddell said h( thought the idea was good; later he became one of tht founders.

When Brother Dennis returned to this country jo 1954, he began pursuing the matter of the possibili~ ?f a w~ works in Washington. He met Earl Dorfman 111 Balttmore. Mr. Dorfman and Victor Sacharoff, CO' owners of Dorothy S. Lynch Studios of Baltimore e~· perimented with pl.astic formulas and came up with th1 process now used m the National Historical Wax :rvfu· seum. The figures cost from $800 to $1,500 each.

The first figure made for the museum was one ol Abraham ~incoln ..For lack of storage space for hif11: Mr. Dennts took htm home and seated him at his desk in .~is seco~d-floor library. . That night we heard something of a commotion upsta irs and feared that Mr. Lincoln had suffered a rnis· hap," Brother Dennis said. "When we d1ecked, '\\'1 f~und that our two dogs- mother and puppy- were with h~m, the mother dog licking his hand and the puppy jo his lap.

"We would send visitors upstairs to leave their wrap) or on some pretext so they could meet Mr. Lincoln. f.S a result, Mr. Lincoln sold most of the stock in the cor· poration, Historic Figures, Inc., which subsequenUJ' formed the National Historical Wax Museum." .

Brother Dennis is President and General Counsel ol the Corporation, and Mr. Riddell is Vice-President. :MrS· Frank L: Dennis, an amateur expert on antiques, is re· sea:ch director as well as a director of the organization which was formed in January, 1957. The other directors are Clement R. Hoopes and Albert Kornfeld. Mr. Dorf· n:an has since become General Manager of HistoriC Figures, Inc. Henry L. Trepagnier, Jr., is Museum :Maw ager. At the museum, where the museum Pres·ident took this reporter, she enjoyed brief chats with Mr. Dorfman and Mr. Trepagnier and also with Frank L. Dennis, Jr., THE

Attracted 200,000 Visitors First Year

The museum, which was first presented to the public the evening of March 14, 1958, drew to itself approximately 200,000 visitors the first year. Easter Week of this year brought an attendance of 10,000, a figure larger than that for any previous week.

The son of a construction worker in Western oil fields and mines, Brother Dennis saw history in unsettled America through residence in several of the states in the Southwest. He was an avid reader of Western stories and fact. He entered the University of Oklahoma in the Autumn of 1924. Here he was "a very prominent man on the campus as well as the only student ever to be elected editor of the Oklahoma Daily, student newspaper, two years in succession," Brother Mel Metcalfe, Alpha Gamma '25, wrote The Star and Lamp. Brother Dennis served Alpha Gamma as Archon.

Brother Dennis continued to read history, although this was not his major. He completed his work for his B.A. Degree in Political Science in 1928 and received his degree in 1929. His two minors were Journalism and English.

In looking back to his student days, he mentioned some of his Alpha Gamma brothers- Brother Dick Pearce, San Francisco newspaperman and author; Brother Granville Norris, Oklahoma's first All-American football player; Brother Mel Metcalfe, Texas insurance man.

After graduation from the University of Oklahoma, Brother Dennis attended Harvard Liberal Arts School and Harvard Law School, obtaining his LL.B. Degree in 1935.

When he entered newspaper work, his interest in history led him to do a considerable amount of research on the background of subjects about which he was writing.

A newspaperman for many years, he served as a reporter on the Kansas City Star, as Night City Editor of the Boston Herald, as Assistant Managing Editor of The D aily Oklahoman, and as City Editor and Assistant Managing Editor of The Washington Post.

Interpreted Marshall Plan to Europeans

"Except for some wor~. with the Gove~nm~nt, } :vas with the Post until 1952, Brother Denms satd. Ftrst, I went to Paris in 1949 as a sort of European Liaison Officer for the Information Section of the Marshall Plan, headquartered in Paris and going to the various capitals of Europe. I had to learn to speak French.

"I returned to the Post at the end of 1950. Two years J.ater I left the Post entirely because I was asked to return' to Europe as the Director of Information of the Marshall Plan for Europe. My duties involved explaining to the Europeans what Uncle Sam was doing for them what our mutual economic problems were, and how 'we were working together in solving them. This was naturally involved with NATO." In the Autumn of 1953, Brother Dennis went to Rome as the Public Affairs Officer for the Embassy when Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce was Ambassador. He returned in 1954 and held three directing positions in the U. S. Information Agency, 路the final one being the one he thought was most interesting. In this, he was Director of Press and Public.ations. He was responsible for the largest, most far-flung news publishing service in the 16

"Those were my happiest years," said Henry.

I am happy now, too. Sometimes we are so busy IiktO: where we've been we do not enjoy where we are. I or. learning not to do that."

CHAPTER NEWS

By ELIZABETH H. W. SM ITH Managing Editor GREETINGS and th anks for an exceptionally fine set of Chapter Letters !

ALPHA

ALPHA at the College of Charleston started the New Year with a Pledge-Member New Year's Eve Party and foll owed it with an After-the-Exams Open-to-School Party January 22. An Open-to-School Valentine's D ay Party was held at the chapter house.

James Folk, Stephen Thomas, and Samuel McConnel were initiated this Winter.

All the clubs and organizations on campus sponsored candidates for the third annual "Mr. College of Charleston" Contest, sponsored by Alpha Chapter. Charlie Stilwell, who represented D elta D elta D elta Sorority, won the crown as "Mr. College of Charleston of 1959." Brother William Moody, "Mr. College of Charleston of 1958," crowned him at the ~ontest March 7.

ALPHA has pledged Sonney Beech and Mtke Barley, both of Charleston .

We are indebted to Historian Stanley E. LaTorre, for this news of ALPHA Chapter.

BETA

From BET A at Presby terian College has come a report by Historian Edward Wells.

The chapter started the year by winning second place in the Homecoming displays. With a theme of "Lick 'em Blue Hose, Lick 'em," the display featured a 15 -foot ice cream cone and a 4-foot football shoe with a red tongue.

Late in November, Julian Edward Wells, North Augusta, S. C.; Ralph And ers Dunham, N. W. Atlanta, Ga., and Richard Ellis Faulkner, Henderson, N. C., were initiated. '' BETA'S parties during Military Ball Week End w~re a big success" Historian Wells wrote. "We rent a cab10 from Brothe~ ("Peck") Cornwell, Clinton, S. C., for our. ~arties. It has a large beach for wiener roasts and a 200-yard dnv10g range for go lfers like Jim Rakestraw and Ken Nix. " BETA congratulates Brother Robert R. Big~er~taif, <;harle.ston H eig hts, S. C., for receiving one of 88 cttattons .gtyen ~n th e nation to college football players who are ma)onng 10 Ci1emistry. .

"BETA is honored to have Brother Earl Halsall, Cl10ton , S. C., as chapter adviser. He was. an active lea d~r in ALPHA and is now Professo r of Economtcs at Presbytenan.

"The future of BETA is a few more parties, skits, Spring intramural sports, and a house party at Ocean Drive Beach, S. C., May 31-June 7."

GA MMA

Historian James W . Hunt has brought us up-to-date on doings at GAMMA. .

"During the past two years th.~ memb~rshtp of Ot~r c~apt.er has increased about 500 per cent, Htstonan Hunt sa!d· Thts, indeed is a remarkable achievement. The scholarshtp of the chapte~ has by no means been sacrificed for this increase, since th e year 1958 found the Pi Kapps among the top ~en fraternities on campus. This past year GAMMA has aga10 become . self-supporting."

GAMMA received its charter January 11, 1909. When Htstorian Hunt's letter was received, plans were being made to celebrate the chapter's 50th anniversary in April.

EPS ILON

The chapter is looking forward to seemg as _many of thetr a lumn i as possible May 10, when the tenth anntversary of the reactivation of PSI wi ll be celebrated. The house has grown from a sma ll group of reactivators in 1949 to a house of almost 70 at the present time. .

During this college year, "the house has taken on qlllte a new face," with extensive remodeling.

ALPHA EPSILON

Historian Bob Gendron has sent us a story which was published in the Florida Alli~ator, the University of Florida newspaper, describing one of ALPHA EPSILON'S parties. Excerpts from the story by Don Ritchie, who was pledged the next day, follow: " When in Gainesville, do as the Romans do-even if you are a Greek. "This was the word for one of the local Greekatorium parties held last week end. (In the final ana lysis, the party was not held-no GOOD party is. A blast moves. This one did.) It is Saturd!iy ni_ght-a ~d ~ou are . th ~re.

"Outside it is Gamesvtlle--dnzzlmg, dnppmg-wet, wheelsplashed, u~brella-provoked, soaked Gainesville. .

"But inside a certain Olympic abode (on Untverstty Avenue) the gods are reigning, but the weather is not.

"We approach the entrance to the hallowed halls, known for the evening as ' Horatio's Hideaway.'

"Shapes of the pa t loom up-shades of Quo Vadis and Ben Hur. "White monolithic D oric columns tower before us at the entrance to a grand banquet hall, and comp leting a triangle into the Epicurean chamber is an altar to Bacchus, set on a shorter pedesta l. . " In the light of Aickering candles, we see a nver of low divans Aowing against three wa ll s. In front of them are tabl es -about six inches off the ground-covered with a feast lit for Caesar or Cicero and flanked by more co lumns topped with draping cloth.

"In the dim Roman light we see the banquet tables laden with huge bowls of fruits-apples, oranges, bana~as , and grapes -straight from the orchards of WtnntUe-LovetttUs. "We, the first of the guests, are soon joined. by other shapes, shrouded as we in togas and crowned by ttaras of Ivy-er, o live branches.

"On this festival occasion, we notice the exceptional ly fine cut of the ladies' gowns-each looking better than any sack of Rome."

The description of ~he p~rty continue~;, ..

The story closed wtth thts sentence: Horatto s Hideaway' fades away-but the memory lingers on ."

Historian Thorn Furgason continued his letter with the information that Brothers Kurt Englested and Joe Bergsted have succeeded in putting the college magazine, The BeatJet· Dam, on the market agai n. Sa les indicated the magazine's success, so another issue is being prepared .

"The Mothers' Club through much time and effort, raised money for 300 worth' of draw draperies for the five French doors in the chapter house dining room," Historian Furgason announced.

ALPHA THETA

Historian Rex Smith of ALPHA THETA at Michigan State University had especially big news in his Spring Chapter Letter.

The chapter held grou nd breaking ceremonies for their new house February 1. The house, which has been in the planning stages for severa l years, wi ll be located at. 111 Whitehills D rive, East Lansing, about eight-tenths of a mtle from the main portion of campus. It is being built to accommodate 31 men and the housemother. The exterior will be contemporary sty ling 23

with red brick and redwood paneling. Scheduled for completion August 15, the house is to cost 125,000 .

The lower floor will contain a 21'xS1' dining room which will have a raised hearth fireplace. A recreation room, two twoman studies, kitchen, and storage will also be on this level.

The main floor will feature an open-beamed 21'x31' living room with a fireplace. One wall will have sliding glass doors which will open on the terrace. Also on the first floor will be the housemother's apartment and several studies.

The entrance hall will be slate-floored, with built-in trophy cases along the walls.

The second floor will be given over entirely to studies.

Miss Mary Ann Baba, Flint, Mich ., was selected Rose Queen at ALPHA THETA'S annual semi-formal Winter Term Party February 13 . She will reign over the chapter's Rose Ball in May and represent the chapter in several campus events.

The university's Inter-Fraternity Council has selected Brother Richard Hruda, New Buffalo, Mich., as Publicity Chairman for this year's IFC Sing which is a part of the annual Greek Week.

ALPHA IOTA

At the beginning of Winter quarter, ALPHA IOTA initiated 17 men, bringing the total number of 1958-59 school year initiates to 22. The chapter gives much of the credit for this achievement to Brother N. D . ("Skeeter") McClure, Mobile, Ala., Rush Chairman, and Brother R. L. ("Pete") Hatcher, Keswick, Va., Pledge Trainer.

Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman scholastic honorary fraternity, tapped Brother Bob Montgomery, Jacksonville, Fla., and Pledge Jim Anderson, Fairhope, Ala. Brother Montgomery, who had a 2.79 (of a possible 3.00} average, has been awarded the scholarship key for having attained the highest point average among the Fall pledges.

"Brother Ken Rice, Bainbridge, Ga., has toiled through the just-completed Spring football training. He has ascended to a first-string tackle berth, and has drawn such raves as 'best offensive tackle,' and 'fastest interior lineman.'

"A highlight of the quarter was the annual Little BrotherBig Brother Banquet. It has become a tradition for each little brother to present his big brother a paddle at this banquet.

All enjoyed choice steaks at the expense of the big brothers."

ALPHA MU

Historian Don Casciato submitted the following news from ALPHA MU: "The membership of ALPHA MU went over the SOO mark when six members of the Fall, 1958, pledge class were initiated February 8. The new brothers are Dave Waddell, Munhall, Pa.; Bill Grim, Bellevue, Pa .; Nelson Mattern, Johnstown, Pa .; Jerry Schutzler, Murrysville, Pa. ; John ("Mr. SOO") Yamulla, Hazelton, Pa., and John Williamson, Muncy, Pa. "Guy Stevens, Meshoppen, Pa., joined the fold March 2.

"On the social side, the Fall pledge class highlighted the Fall semester social program with their Pledge Formal. An elaborate dinner of cornish hens-served by candlelight-and the awarding of the pledge paddles highlighted the evening.

Later in the evening, 'live music' and a lively party made the night complete.

"Earlier in the day, the pledges and brothers played to a 6-6 tie in ALPHA MU'S annual pledge-brother football game.

The contest-which finished in a tie for the second straight year-was played on a sheet of ice in sub-zero temperatures.

"Prior to the Christmas recess we held our annual Christmas party for needy children. After several auditioning sessions, Brother John Rapchak, Mayfield, Pa., was picked as Santa because of his 'ho-ho-ing' ability. Needless to say, it is almost impossible to describe the inner joy we received in trying to help these needy children .

"Our Christmas stag party also created a warm feeling, but for different reasons. The exchanging of humorous gifts was followed by a stag session in the party room.

"ALPHA MU had the pleasure of entertaining Alpha Xi Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha, Sigma Delta Tau, and Pi Beta Phi sororities during the course of the semester.

"Sororities scheduled for the Spring semester to date include Zeta Tau Alpha and Tri Delt.

"Scholastically, Alpha Mu earned a 2.3 house average. We could also boast of three Dean's List students in Richard Wall, Harrisburg, Pa.; Chuck Skopic, Dallas, Pa., and John Rapchak, Mayfield, Pa.

""~~ 1 undertook to build a booth in the 'Blast,' an all residenct carnival to raise money for charity by Campus Chest. The JT1~0 of ALPHA OMICRON joined with Alpha Delta Pi Soror.t~ and built a booth called the 'Vanguard.' It was a Greenwtcb Village type of club, complete with atmosphere. For a di~e you could have a dance with a Pi Kapp or ADPi to not~tn~ but 'cool' music. We sold 583 dances throughout the eventn~: Our booth was rated second among the Greek organization' taking part in the 'Blast.' " ALPHA OMICRON'S Rose Ball has been scheduled fo!

May 16 in the Cloud Room of the Des Moines Airport, with dinner at 6:30 and dancing at 8:30.

January 11 initiates were Franklin C. Egland, Roland, IoWJ• Karl W. Griffith, Kasson, Minn., and Randall A. Hoffman· r~ Jr., Emmetsburg, Iowa. Brother Hoffman, a member of the sec Economics Department staff at Iowa State College, was initiated llle hvc, into the Alumni Chapter.

ALPHA SIGMA

.

"The first good thing which happened to ALPHA SIG th 1.' year was the arrival of Mrs. Lester Doak, our housemother.k Historian George R. Roberts said in his letter. " 'Mom' Doa of McMinnville, Tenn ., is mother of two children, both grad.u· ates of the University of Tennessee. She is active in Methodt 51 Church work, youth work, and is an ardent amateur decorate~ In the short time she has been with us, Mrs. Doak has prove to be a very desirable necessity. As her main hobby is cooking. she has been invaluable in her help to the cook." ..

ALPHA SIGMA'S Rose of Pi Kappa Phi this year is MtS' Peggy Bray, a petite freshman coed. She and Mrs. Doak were presented at the Rose Ball January 30.

At the end of the first quarter, ALPHA SIGMA initiated Lionel Humphreys, Greeneville, Tenn., and Larry Panyon, Pitts· burgh, Penna.

ALPHA SIGMA ranked first in scholarship the Fall quarter.

"BETA RHO recently pledged Donald Wise. He hails from Alden , N. Y., and is majoring in Civil Engineering.

"BETA RHO was represented in the statue competition.

Under th e supervision of Brother Bob Jurena, the plannin.-,: and design of a 23' ice scu lpture was made a reality. In conjunction with the ice carnival theme, our presentation of Hajji, the beggar-poet of the musical, 'Kismet,' succeeded in winning second place honors in the fraternity division. The results of the judging were, as you might expect, very disappointing to the brothers here at BETA RHO, especially since it meant giving up the statue trophies which were won in 1958; and although this year's statue cannot be discredited in any way, we are looking forward to a bigger and better statue next year.

"The Beta Rho Chapter was honored to have Brother Verner Ingram, Psi Chapter, as its principal speaker at the Annual Founders' Day Banquet. Brother Ingram is an Attorney-at-Law here in Potsdam, and also holds the very distinct honor of serving as New York State Assemblyman from this area.

"Discussing the many benefits of affiliating with Pi Kappa Phi, he stressed the old adage that one receives only in a degree commensurate with what he offers. It is those who seek to give the fraternity all they are capable of who really derive the full advantages from fraternity life. Certainly this was a most fitting theme, not only for this special occasion, but as a guide toward the betterment of our chapter.

"Brother Bruno Lewandowski has been named to the AllNew York State Collegiate Soccer Team of 1958. Brother Lewandowski, a center forward , led the Golden Knight boaters to a record of four wins, two losses, and one tie this season.

"A senior from Laurelton, N. Y. , and co-captain of the team, Lewandowski was Clarkson's high scorer with 14 goa ls. He also scored 14 goals as a junior in 1957 and booted in seven in his sophomore season. Lewandowski, a top candidate for All-American honors, holds the three-season scoring record with 35 goals."

BETA SIGMA

"Moving into a new house was the first event of fraternal importance," Historian Gary Benham said in reporting for BET A SIGMA. The house accommodates 28 of the brothers.

"The chapter's full calendar of activities started with the winning of the Homecoming Float competition by Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority and BETA SIGMA. The chapter entered the Winter Carnival with Kappa Delta Sorority. They won first place with their show. BETA SIGMA won second place in the IFC Basketball Tournament, and at the time the report was written, the chapter was in a strong second place for the All Sports trophy.

"The following pledges of the Fall semester were initiated January 10: James Alan Chriestiansen, Mt. Prospect, Ill.; Ronald Alan Cunningham, James Edward Knox, and Ted Raymond Tonneman, Chicago; Robert Alan Dwyer, Hinckley, Ill.; Robert Paul Eyrich, Joliet, Ill.; Alan Daniel Foster, DeKalb, Ill.; Jack Schmich Kennedy, Freeport, Ill.; Richard Albert Moore, Harvard, Ill.; Norman James Pollack, Huntley, Ill.; Lloyd Armand Stjernberg, Franklin Park, Ill.; Curtis Lee Schacht, Woodstock, Ill. At present the chapter stands at 47 members, with 13 pledges initiated March 8.

"BETA SIGMA is now looking forward to entering May Fete with Delta Zeta Sorority," Historian Benham said in closing his Jetter.

As this school year draws to a close and you look back on a happy year and forward to the vacation so close, please let us wish for each of you a most enjoyable and refreshing hoi iday.

It has been good to work with you during this past year, and we look forward with pleasure to renewing this relationship in the Fall.

So long--a nd good luck!
