WBEN THE

NEW MODEL AUTOMOBILE appears fa ~n the market we always wonder just what the manue c . rer has stressed in producing this new piece of ~u~~ment. Likewise, it is a source of wonderment to the Seern ership at large as to just wh~t the new Executive th cretary would emphasize. By far the most outstanding tioought to come to mind should concern the organizapu 0 that he is serving. In our instance, for all intent and or rpo.se, _it is the undergraduate brothers who are the te!sanlzatton. The service rendered the individual chap\Vh rnust take preference, for these groups taken as a of ~le are the Fraternity. Without them the actuality the he org~nization does not exist. To the world at large, I>i are Pt Kappa Phi. Wherever there is a weak chapter, su ~ppa Phi is known to be weak-where there is a -w.:r~or chapter, Pi Kappa Phi is known to be superior. 1 of tt1n the undergraduate chapter lies the breath of life hill e Fraternity. Without them the road is all down der' Constant improvement in and assistance to the unaniraduate chapters should have first priority of the time energy of the Executive Secretary.

k

ch J~st as the alumnus follows the undergraduate in the un~n of individual growth, the alumni should follow the Ex er&raduates as a point of emphasis in the mind of the or ecu~lve. Secretary. There is no better medicine for an co~a 0.1 Zatt~n than that of experience and age which. is l'h·takned.tn the presence of the alumni of the Fratermty. 15 be nowledge should not go to waste. Instead, it should the ~ed wh.erever feasi~le for ·the continuing g.rowth of rna· rater!'uty. We rea!tze that many alumni w1sh to re1 ize ~hpass1ve. While honoring their desires we also reallik at ma_ny alumni, if given the opportunity, would to ~hto contmue an association which has meant so much 6ce em during their undergraduate days. It would sufcha here to say that second only to the undergraduate alupte~ should come the service to be rendered to the rnnt. It has been said that no one stands still, you either grow I know of no exceptions to this general al~~rn~nt. Expansion, then, of the undergraduate and tiv 0 1 chapters should take some portion of the Execuof ef Secretary's schedule. The days of rapid expansion lon rat.ernities that followed the second world war have slog Since passed. For the future we must depend upon mow steady growth. This I believe to occupy the third st emphasis of the Executive Secretary. if ~hhere is no doubt in the mind of ymH Editor but that su e above three goals are followed we shall have a ccessful and prosperous fraternity.

lec~·lsewhere in this issue there appears an assorted colPub~?0 ?f articles that have been written for various ~ /cattons. These appeared as a collection first in the 11 e of Theta Chi. The Editor of the Rattle of Theta l-lov

EMBER,

1959

Chi, George Starr Lasher, introduced these articles with the editorial which we have reprinted with Mr. Lasher's approval. Many are the subjects covered, but if you put them together they represent one thought- problems! Problems facing the social fraternities in the United States. It is not the intent of your Editor to create dissension by publishing them- rather it is his desire to help all of us face the truth.

The ostrich is not a popular bird. In fact, when anyone speaks of this large-feathered-friend it is usually in ridicule. We laugh at his antics and especially his habit of "sticking his head in the sand" to escape. It would seem. he is att~mpti?g to ~sca~e reality. No one is proud of htm for hts actiOns, ltkewtse, no one takes pride in ~e organization ·that fails or refuses to recognize reality, r.e. ·the truth. The truth of the matter is that social fraternities today face many problems that were not evident a few years back. The greater proportion of the subjects covered in the various articles mentioned are comparatively recent. Many of them date back no further than the 1950's. Some are seriou~ and can preclude a life or death struggle for the Fraterntty system. Others are minor in nature. However, regardless of their severity, put them together and they spell trouble. It would .be wise to admit at this point that the present generatiOn holds no monopoly on difficult times. The Founders, and their successors, of all social fraternities had no "easy row to hoe." However, there is a difference. The society surrounding our distant past and our immediate predecessors provided a stimulus for action. This was evident by the varied and strong courses of action taken by these individuals in meeting their particular problems. Their society provided for and encouraged the success of the individual's freedom of action. Today we live in a society that demands the repression of the individual and the substituting of equalization therefor. This offers many the excuse to hide their heads in the s~d. Let someone else do it, if it is to be done at all becomes the battle cry. ' One of our current Historians has presented thought that troubles are God-given. That they are stimulants whereby someone or some group rises to occasion and brings forth a solution, this solution sulting in a general betterment for all.

the the the re-

The ostrich has no place in a situation such as this. Thus no fraternity has the privilege of playing the ostrich. Carried further, no undergraduate or alumnus fraternity member can. be forgiven for failing to face up to the truth. Ignormg a problem does not solve it. What are the solutions? They remain to be seen, however, for every question there is an answer. The answer cannot be found until the question is asked. This and this alone is the intent of reprinting these articles. •

QUERY ABOUT BROTHER WAGENER 24 Mount Auburn St. Cambt·idge 38, Mass. D ea1' Editors: Received the 50th Anniversary Issue and enjoyed it very much . One of th e articles in the J ournal mentioned Anthony Pelzer Wagener as one of the founders of _the Fraternity. Eith er my memory is very poor, or perhaps I d1dn't lea rn my pledge work too well , but I don't recall hearing of him before. J was und er the impression that M essrs. Kroeg, Fogarty, and Mixson were the origi na l founders . Any enlig htenment you can send on this subject woul d be appreciated. Fraternally, C. W . LEE Gamma, University of California ( EDITOR'S COMMENT: Brother Wagener was one of the seven charter members of Alpha Chapter. H e served the Fraternity as National President from 1927 to 1934 , as National Treasurer, and was the founder of Xi Chapter at Roanoke Co ll ege.)

PI KAPP COLLEGE TERMED "SUCCESS" Cornell University Ithaca, N. Y. D ear Brother Owen: First, I must say that in my opinion the P i Kapp College was a complete success. I lea rned a great deal 2

from the lectures that you and Greg and Mr. Jones and .thl, other alumni gave. I felt th at Mr. Wilson's talk on rushll~: was a gem, and w hile we can not use many of his suggested tee 0 niques beca use of our large and unique rushing sys tem, we c:l make good use of some others. 1 Also, almost as va lu ab le as the formal part of the Col leg j were the bull -sess ions with the oth er representatives. I fk~~p out about quite a few methods that other chapters use to themselves in good shape. tht But most important I found ou t down at Sumter that r· National organi zati on is really an important and v!gorous 1 ganization. Psi Chapter is a long way from the NatiOnal 0 er> as you know, and there is often a feeling among the brotl1 ; 1 up at Psi that the National Office can be disregarded. ThiS something that I wou ld like to do away wit h. thl Fina ll y, I wish that you wou ld convey my thanks to h'l alu mni of Sumter for a ll the trouble they went to for us. T party on Monday was a w~>nderfu l thing for them to do. hiS I hope that we will see e1ther you or Paul Perry somet1rne I Fall. You rs in Pi Kappa Phi . ALAN ]. RUDE, Archoo Psi Chapter

All Roads Lead to Pi Kapp College "THIS MEETING has carried a great impact on my thinking and planning and a healthy one too," thus one officer summed up PI KAPP COLLEGE. The purpose and idea behind PI KAPP COLLEGE was to create an Officers Workshop on a National level for a concentrated leadership program . In the past, regional programs had been conducted by the National Fraternity, but their effect had been diluted by shortness of time of such programs worked into a week end and, also, by the fact thrut since such large numbers attended each program, a specialized format was awkward to develop. Thus the thinking behind PI KAPP COLLEGE was conceived and developed over the years. The final decision of offering sud1 a program was a bold step on the National Council's part; but a wise one for it was a meeting designed to help and serve the undergraduate chapters. No laws were to be evaluated or changed, for that is the task of a Supreme Chapter Meeting. PI KAPP COLLEGE was to go into the basic fundame ntal steps and procedures of running a good chapter and developing a good and useful brotherhood. This was its purpose and this it did do. Two Summer Camps near the National Office at Sumter, S. C., were sefected for the initial 1959 session Sign on the main highway, pointing to the Pi Kapp Coile9' near Sumter, S. C.

Students at Pi Kapp College listened intently as Founder Simon Fogarty of Charleston, 5. C., addressed them. (See cover picture.!

Those failing to have representatives amve were the University of Alabama, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Roanoke College, Newark College of Engineering, University of California, Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, University of South Carolina, and McNeese State College. The general theme of 'the meeting was, if any one idea can be named, the developing of a useful brotherhood and Fraternity, the evaluation and training of a Gentleman, and a review of the conduct and place of Fraternities on a college campus.

Opening Session Dealt with "Atmosphere" The first session, on Sunday night, pertained to the creation of "atmosphere"- the use of candles, robes, and the subordinate rituals. The meaning of "Fraternity" was discussed . The statement was made that Fraternities do serve a useful, important, and necessary part in college life when functioning properly and wisely. All present were _offered id~as on how to re-evaluat~ their chapters and Its place tn the college communtty and in the members' lives. In the following days the program offered sessions dealing with the Devereux D.

THE FIRST NATIONAL CONVENTION since World War I was being planned for December 31, January 1 and 2 when this issue of the magazine went to press. The issue opened with a Convention story, giving a real "Chamber of Commerce" description of Charlotte, N . C., the Convention city. In referring to Charlotte's educational facilities, the woman's college was the only one whose name was given. It was pointed out also that Western Union Telegraph Company employed 135 people and had a montMy payroll of $12,500. Eminent Supreme Archon Carroll Sounds Call

Brother John D . Carroll was Eminent Supreme Archon at this time, and his bulletin "To All Chapters"-the 12 of them-about the Convention included the important information as to the cost of rooms in the Convention hotel and also the banquet. Double rooms with bath were available for $4.5 0, and single rooms with bath, $2.50. The banquet the evening of January 1 was listed as $2.50 a plate. Brother Henry G. Harper had the responsibility of making reservations. Brother Carroll asked the chapters to notify their alumni about the approaching Convention, passing to them the information contained in his letter and especially reminding the past archons since they would have a vote in the meeting of the Supreme Chapter.

for a study of the reports required of each chapter and a reduction in the number of such reports. He asked for a policy for expansion. In Brother Heffner's concluding remarks, he dedared that "there will never be reason to listen to complaints from chapters who do not provide some means of representation" at the Convention.

Chapters Are Enthusiastic about Convention

Something of the enthusiasm with which various undergraduate chapters were looking forward to the Convention was related in letters from Ard1on Bowen of Alfha, Archon Di1llard of Zeta, Archon Overstreet o Eta, Archon Rodriguez of Iota, Archon Mott of Lambda, Archon Rice of Nu, and Archon Erb of Xi. In addition to these letters, eight chapters submitted regular chapter letters: Alpha, South Carolina Zeta, Georgia Iota, Georgia Lambda, Nebraska Nu, Virginia Xi, Alabama Omicron, and Georgia Pi. These letters reflected the optimism with which the chapters were moving into their new year. Four pages were devoted to brief news items about alumni. In the "Songs" Department, "Thy Banners Wave from Shore to Shore," "Fealty," and "Memories" were published, reminding one again that Pi Kappa Phi has always been a singing fraternity. The last two songs mentioned were written by Editor Wade S. Bolt, Sigma '09, University of South Carolina.

Brother Heffner Urges Strong Organization

Eminent Supreme Deputy-Archon Roy J. Heffner gave a concise discussion of the major problems confronting the coming Convention. "One of the notable lessons of the war is that of the importance of organization-organization on a large scale," he said ... "Surely the necessity for making the best possible national organization for our Fraternity needs no explanation . . . . We must have closer union-in other words, we must perfect our organization." Brother Heffner called for a bettering of the system of inter-chapter communication, particularly through The Star and Lamp. He recommended that the ritua!l. be revised and prescribed for ail chapters and that symbols for fraternal garments of officers be prescribed. He called also

He pointed out that Theta Chi was gradually pushing westward and that the September number of The Sign et was a geographical and alphabetical index of the membership of Phi Sigma Kappa. From Banta's Greek Exchange was quoted a !1st of new charter grants and new chapter houses for a number of fraternities and sororities. A partial list of members of the Fraternity in the service in World War I included the following: Alpha, 33; Ganm1a, 51; Zeta, 40; Iota, 52; Kappa, 12; Omicron, 46. Four of these 234 men had given their lives.

EDITORIAL It is time that alumni and undergraduate members of college sororities ~nd fraternities at long last wake up to the fact that their constitutional ~h~hts as American citizens are threatened on so~e ~allege campu.ses in th 5 ~emocracy of ours. Ever since our federal const1tut1on was established, f e r1ght of men and women to form legitimate organizations and select hor new members in them whomever the members of the group desire v~~ ~een recognized. That right should be recognized on college and uniSity campuses as well as elsewhere. if There is no question of democracy involved. There might be, of course, e the established organizations attempted to prevent similar groups from stoblishing groups that might have different membership qualifications. 1 colleges and universities accept fraternities and sororities as desirable 5 boclol groups on the campus they cannot logically or legally discriminate q~t~een those groups because of their difference in membership oliflcations.

f

r ~hether it is wise or desirable for a fraternity or a sorority to be interg0c1?1 as for as its membership is concerned is a question for that oronlzation to decide and that organization alone. d If it is a national organization it will decide by a generally accepted e~rnocratic procedure, for it is governed by a constitution which ordinarily coer~ member is bound by oath to follow and support. Practically every e nstltution provides means to change its provisions by democratic procdsses. If a change is not made, the individual chapter always can withor~w, form a local, and make whatever change or changes it desires, but ong.as it remains a part of the national, it MUST ABIDE by. the. laws a.nd hoSUiat1on of the national. That is the rule of every organ1zat1on wh1ch 5 separate units.

right to enter this controversial area. While the university is an agency and creation of the statt:e and must therefore conduct its operations with respect to its student body, its faculty, its teaching and researd1, and the management of these things, in accordance with the provisions of law, no other course is possible or permissible. Further, the university is not a law-enforcing agency and has no power to control the lives of its members. The only thing the university can do is to deny admission to and the services of the university to individuals who are not willing to subscribe to the rules and regulations of the university for the conduct of its operations. The solution to the problem of social discrimination is less important than the preservation of the democratic process of government as it applies to both public and private affairs. As a matter of fact, the questions of social discrimination are more likely to be solved by the operation of the democratic process than by the dictatorship of any group.

men and sorority women should know just what the score

N the present situation is, for there is much misinformation in circulation.

chever before have the Greeks been as strong in numbers, in chapters, in op0 Pter houses, in endowments. Never have so many new campuses been \Ve~~ed to national organizations. Never ha~e these n~t!onals been as managed. The loss of chapters is practically neglig1ble. There are 50 co lind facts to prove that fraternities and sororities are strong and will berne stronger. Cir Encouraging also is the evidence that both fraternities and sororities tin~ cooperating as never before. The National Panhellenic Conference Clct the National Interfraternity Conference have developed more chargr er, being today something other than mere discussion and advisory oups. lo ~hile eight or ten chapters have reverted to locals, and more may be Cils! In the future because of the questionable policies of certain educationto Institutions, the total will not be large, however severe the loss will be the individuals and the campuses concerned. th On this and succeeding pages are items and comments that deserve geoughtful reading. Such will help in constructive thinking and in intellint action.

up with the following remarkable program: "The parents could change all this if they told the college president in no uncertain terms: 1. Abolish the fraternities. 2. Forbid automobiles on campus. 3. Set up a solid course of study, omitting the frills . 4. Demand real work of the students and drop the play boys and girls. 5. Use a sizable portion of college income to provide an attractive social and athletic program in which all the students could participate-happily and with reasonable sobriety."

Recently the students of l. S. U. have read many uncomplimentary and too often true criticisms of the fraternity system. I would like to take this opportunity to put forth my feelings about fraternities in order to somewhat counterbalance this adverse criticism. I have been a member of a fraternity ever since I came to l. S. U. I will never regret joining one. My fraternity, far from ruining my morals and sd10larship, has given me a better understanding of my fellow man, broadened my attitudes, and taught me that scholarship is the most important phase of campus life. More than this, however, my fraternity is a proving ground for leadership, with all members striving to learn more about their responsibility to life. The fraternity system has given to coundess thousands of men the same benefits which I an1 now receiving, benefits which I could not have gained in the same degree if I did not belong to a fraternity. Tme, fraternities have members who are far from perfect and exhibit these imperfections in embarrassing ways, but what student can say that there is any greater proportion of "bad" boys in fraternities than there is out of them. They can not. It is fallacious for anyone to assume (as many already have) that certain publicized incidents are indicative of general fraternity life. Perhaps it would do little good to point out that nothing worse takes place in fraternity houses than that which takes place in a dormitory. In fact, many fraternities do a better job of policing themselves. -Rid1ard Barton, president Phi Gamma Delta Chapter at Louisiana State.

The Northwestern Way: The Northwestern University administration informed the student governmg board recently that "members of each fraternity chapter are the proper ones to determine who shall or who shall ?ot be elected" to fraternity membership. The statement, contained in a letter from J. Roscoe Miller, president of the university, was in response to a student governing board recommendatio~ that the unive~sity withdraw recognitiOn from soronties and fraternities whose constitutions provide for discrimination on the basis of race. The group asked the administration for its view. Northwestern University does not believe in discrimination , President Miller said in his letter, but he added that ."i~ is an inhe.ren~ right for any assoCiatiOn to prescnbe 1ts qualifications for membership so long as they are not contrary to law." Progress in "such social questions," he continued, "comes much more quickly through education than coercion."

A 30-year old ex-GI threatens to take legal action to ban discriminatory clauses in the charter of five San Jose State College ~raternities. Billy Gene Parker, a mamed freshman with one small son, charges the college administration and Student Council with stalling on the discrimination issue which has empted into open controversy on the campus. As a result, Parker, leader of a number of student "equal rightists," declares he has engaged attorneys to take the ~ght to courts if necessary. H he does, 1t may be the first time a court suit has been filed against a state college on a discrimination charge. Parker is pushing a college constitutional amendment that would withdraw campus recognition from fraternities that still have charter clauses restricting membership on the basis of race, color, and creed. He charges that the Student Council, with the backing of the administration, refuses to force the fraternities to eliminate the clauses, but instead merely passed an amendment to student by-laws urging them to end 11


discrimination and asking for progress reports. The student body recently passed a measure banning any new organizations which restrict membership. "I don't feel the council was sincere," he said , "particularly so when most of the student officers are members of the Greek living groups. If we let things continue at the present rate, there will be discrimination at San Jose State when my son is ready for college."

From the Daily Illini: In opposing a recommendation in a report made by the American Association of University Professors at the University of Illinois the Daily Illini, uncensored student newspaper, says: First of all, it does not define, perhaps because it is undefinable, what "still discriminate" constitutes. However, the university could choose to define this phrase by asking every sorority and fraternity to show proof that they do not discriminate. To show proof most likely would mean that a sorority or fraternity would have to pledge a Negro or Catholic or Lithuanian. To require such proof would be as bad as clauses ·wh ich limit membership on the basis of race, religion, or national origin, for it is just as wrong to tell members whom they have to pledge as it is to <tell them whom they cannot take. The choice of membership should be left up eo the individuals w ithin the local chapter. as <to whom they would like to live with, not ro the public which has no direct fesponsibility toward the private organization.

Because of their faith in the college fraternity, the trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have directed President Gaylord P. Hornwell to appoint a committee to make studies and present proposals for effective ways and means to strengthen the fraternity system and its components. The university administration announces that it "has a definite responsibility to and an interest in the fraternities not only as social units, but as living accommodations for its stu12

dents." The trustees allocated $5000 for the purpose of conducting as the initial and immediate step in the study an engineering survey of the undergraduate, graduate, and professional social fraternity houses to determine the nature and amount of deferred maintenance as well as the estimated reserves required for continuing main tenance and for future capita l improvements .

It is the university's attitude ''t~~ Emory fraternities have become an 10 tegral part of the total educational P~ gram of the undergraduates, and tb~' contribution to the education and traJ; ing of the students 'has been distinct ' 1 wholesome and varied. "

Therefore, we will continue to .~t here to the theory that responsibJh bl will be assmned by our students thr.ou8_ their respective organizations. T.hJS re1, sponsibifity includes the selectiOn the membership to their social fratef 01 ties. If the qualifications of mernbe~ ship should be altered, our chapt\ have the proper legislative channe ·. available through their national or ganizations for such alterations. 'fbi alteration will not come from arbitraD dictation from our university. I doubt seriously that we would ha~ on this campus the many assets that 0 fraternities possess if we did not u~ 0 hold the following paragraph frorn : statement of. ba~ic policy on stud,;;~ soCJal organtzatwns at Emory: ~ general ~he university does not est;! , lish rules and regulations for studeO· organizations. The university coope.~ ates with all chartered organizations.;!., promoting their programs, and is "'1 , ing at all times to advise and counse with their officers or other represen~ tives. The responsibility for the pror; conduct of affairs of student organJt tions, however, lies with the organizJ· ~ions themselves. Official university a: tion is ooncerned primarily with gra~ ing, refusing, or, withdrawing t charters of such organizations."

°

The following greeting was introductory to the published program of this year's Greek Week, held at the University of Toledo, April 10-12: Dear Friends: The influence of Greek organizations on a campus depends upon the membership and its leaders. Every university welcomes strong student leadership and active groups which use their talents for productive ends. College students are in the public eye because they represent a great potential strength among our citizens in the years to come. Any program which calls attention to the positive values of C·ampus organizations can be a reminder of the responsibilities which rest upon all of us. Greek Week at the University of Toledo is traditionally a time of rededication to the high goals of good citizenship and constructive endeavor. I send my greetings to all who participate. Sincerely, William S. Carlson, President." While Dr. Carlson was president of the State University of New York, composed of 21 separate educational _)Je/p institutions, some of which had chapters of national fraternities and sororities, largely through his influence legislation was adopted that caused From President Novice G.

The Trail of· Tradition SEVERAL YEARS AGO Founder Simon Fogarty gave a Fraternity pin to the National Office to be preserved. This pin was one of the very earliest emblems of the Fraternity. The pin was placed in the office to reflect on the history it represented.

Yet it seemed that something more fitting could be developed around this "link with the past" than merely to be placed in the archives of the Fraternity. Finally the idea was developed of establishing a museum of all the Brotherhood pins of each local group that had joined Pi Kappa Phi through the years for each chapter was, at one time, either a local, independent fraJternity or a c?lony deliberately orgaJnized by the national organization. Most of the local groups had their own pin before joining Pi Kappa Phi. It is therefore hoped that one pin from each chapter may be located and placed in the museum to represent a composite history of the fraternity. Below are two pins of local groups that became chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. They are the corner stone of the museum.

Kappa Sigma Delta

Kappa Sigma Delta was founded in 1919 at Drexel l'nstitute of Technology. It was the oldest fraternity at Drexel and petitioned Pi Kappa Phi in 1934 and was installed as Alpha Upsilon Chapter. The pin was donated by Dr. Robert S. Hansen of Drexel Hill, Penna., who was one of the charter members of Alpha Upsilon Chapter.

Prominent Publisher By BROTHER MEL METCALFE, Alpha Gamma '25 University of Oklahoma

p ERHAPS the only father in the nation in competition with his own son in the same city in the newspaper publishing business is Brother Orville E. Priestley, Alpha Gamma '23, University of Oklahoma, Editor and Publisher of the Las Cntces Sun-News of Las Cruces, N. M. Priestley's son, Gene, is Owner and Manager of the Las Cmces Citizen, a weekly newspaper in the same city in which his father Brother Orville E. Priestley publishes the daily news, but the competition is of a most friendly nature, folks of Las Cruces agree. Brother Priestley enrolled in t he University of Oklahoma in the Fall of 1921 to study journalism and received his B.A. Degree in 1925. While at the university he became acquainted with eight Pi Kapps, all formerly from Phi Chapter at Tulsa University, and soon found himself a charter member of Pi Kappa, a local fraternity organized for the purpose of becoming what was later designated as Alpha Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. After receiving his degree from the University of Oklahoma, Orville spent the next 14 years working in the editorial departments of daily newspapers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri. In 1929, he launched into the newspaper publishing business, becoming a partner with the late James H. Skewes, Editor and Publisher of the Meridian Star, Meridian, Miss., and became Editor and Publisher of the Crowley Daily Signal, Crowley, La. He was elected Pres ident of the Louisiana State Press Association for 1944-45. He sold his interest in the Crowley newspaper in 1945 and moved to Artesia, N . M., where he and his partner bought the Artesia Advocate. Two years later, he became Editor and Publisher of the Las Cmces Stm-News. Here, he has been busily engaged ever since, seeing his original investment of a little Jess than a hundred thousand dollars quadruple as the population of Las Cruces doubled. His other son, Joseph, works with him. Orville's activities in Las Cruces have been many and varied as he has served the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, his Methodist Church, and his entire community. Last year he was the recipient of the Associated Press Managing Editors national group coveted award. He has served on the board of directors of the New Mexico Press Association and as its President in 1951-52. He is listed in "Who's Who in the West." 19

UTHE RAMBLIN' WRECK"NO MEAN PERFORMER . FROM IOTA CHAPTER, GEORGIA TECH

AS NOVEMBER 15, 1958, drew near, the Georgia Tech campus became a bee-hive of activity. The festivities planned for Homecoming included the freshman cake race and the wreck parade .Saturday morning, with the football game with Alabama following in the afternoon. The wreck committee headed by Tom Lowndes, started work early in the year. A prewar Chevrolet underwent some complicated mechanical changes which enabled it to be tilted until it restei upon the back wheels and back bumper. Separately controlled mechanical brakes connected to the rear wheels made it possible for the driver to spin the wreck in circles. In order to facilitate the tilting it was necessary to shorten the drive shaft to sixteen inches. Several body changes were made and a coat of bright green paint was applied for effect. The parade was the climax to many hours of tedious work on the part of the fraternity mechanics. As the car reached the top of the last hill it spun about in a circle and smacked into the curb. The doors and hood fell off. Observers were sure that the wreck was about to disintegrate. However, our driver, Jim Whitehead, calmly backed up and drove away, with the doors and hood 路 slowly coming back into place. The wreck parade was only a part of Homecoming, but it climaxed the weekend's activities for the brothers of Iota. 20

Devereux D. Rice Memorial Foundation THE DEVEREUX D. RLCE Memorial Foundation is more than just a Foundation Fund to me because it is a fitting memorial to a man I knew well; first when he wa's Dis•trict Archon for the State of Tennessee in the 1930's while I was your National Treasurer, and later when he served with me on your National Council, and finally when he became our Fraternity's President in 1946. Devereux Rice had a genuine interest in the progress of his Fraternity and especially in the individual development of its members. The contributions you have made to this Memorial Fund, founded in his honor, are really an investment in human values. The Fund was intenided for a two fold purpose; first to provide scholarships for undergraduates, on occasion, as determined by the Committee, and second, to provide financial assistance to Chapters desiring to acquire a home, a Chapter House for it~s members. The Rice Committee believes <that a Chapter shollild, if possible, have its own house, because it is through the "give and take" of living together in a Chapter House that the undergraduate can acquire those qualities of

character and 1;ersonali~ that distinguish the truly ~~; cated man. Thts opportunity alone is ample justificatiO for membership in our Fraternity. When financing <the purchase of a Chapter Bouse.• 111 there is sometimes a "gap," so to speak, between "'~at the Chapter's Housing Corporaition can raise and "'h 1 can be borrowed by conventional financing throug el first mortgage loan. The Rice Fund does, upon .Pr0 P0f request, try to assist in bridging this gap, asswntng, I) course, that the assistance requested is within th.e "~h~ modest means of the Fund and is in accordance wtth policies governing the Fund. Again, may I say ·that a contribution to the Rice ~~: morial Foundation is, indeed, an investment in the th man values of our. Fraternity and contributions. f.rorn ~~~ active and alumru members are earnestly soltClted. n· Rice Foundation Committee, on its part, pledges its cond tinuing best efforts to promote the growth of the .fu and thus its opportunity for service to Pi Kappa Pht.
