CONTINUED TALK OF GASOLINE RATIONING .•. Further Arab oil boycott ••• shortage of refinery capacitY··~ l 1mited hours of operation by service station operators •.. etc. , etc! All this, plus more, has led to a timely and important decas1on by our National Council - to delay the next convention, Supreme Chapter, for one year. Pi Kapp Phi will now meet in San Francisco, August 17 - 20, 1975!

ARCHONS/CHAPTER ADVISORS SEMINARS SUCCESS .... The National Office staff has just completed the fourth in a ser1es of regional meetings of archons and chapter advisors. The meetings have been held as follows: Charlotte for chapters in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina; and in Atlanta for Georg1a chapters; in Murfreesboro for Tennessee chapters; and in Birtningham for Alabama chapters. The next seminar is planned in Columbia for the Missouri~ Iowa, and Nebraska chapters.

WEST COAST EXPANSION PLANS ••. Preliminary groundwork has been laid by Phil Tappy, National Chaplain, for expansion efforts at Southern California and UCLA. Other prospects are bright in the immediate area' includ1ng Arizona and New Mexico. If anyone has information of expansion possibilities in the Southwest or West, please contact the National Office.

BETA EPSILON REVIVED ••• We now have a colony at the University of Missouri--Columbia with 17 solid

members. This colony will revive tne Beta Epsilon Chapter that was on the Columbia campus until the early '60s. A detailed article on the colony will be in the Spring Star and Lamp ..

ENERGY BULLETINS .... The National Office has mailed two energy bulletins to chapters and advisors. The

ideas conta1ned therein specifically indicate how the chapters can cope with the short supply of energy' increased cost of fuel oils, and other problems of inflation. Other bulletins will be compiled and sent throughout the spring.

METHODIST COLLEGE COLONY ••• We have a new colony at Methodist College in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The colony, formerly the Methodist College Men's Club, is the first fraternity on campus· More information will be in the next Star and Lamp.

SUPREME CO;VRT ~ULE QN:E"7¥.~~ R~SID~~{QX)~~9V,I~~.M~NT lp cq~ST~TVT~Q~~~ ..• The Supreme Court has upheld a lower-court ruling that a one-year residency law for tuition purposes is constitutional.

Two justices dissented in the ruling which affirmed the decision of a three-judge panel in a suit brouqht by a group of out-of-state students at the University of Washington.

SAT SCORES CONTINUE TO DECLINE, says College Entrance Examination Board. Average scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in 1972-7 3 continued a ten-year decline, according to the Colle9e Entrance Examination Board. Verbal scores dropped 35 points and math scores, 21 points over the period.

NATIONAL OFFICERS MOVE ••• Ted Scharfenstein, National President, has accepted the position of Chief Administrator of the Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester, Massachusetts. He and his familY will move there in early spring.

Phil Tappy, National Chaplain, has been promoted by the Eastman Kodak Company. Phil and his family now live in Los Angeles, California.

ALPHA DELTA AND ALPHA EPSILON CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY ••• In the spring of 1924 Alpha Delta (University of Washington) and Alpha Epsilon (University of Florida) were founded. Both cliapters are planning reunions to commemorate this grand occasion. Alumni of the chapters have already been informed of the scheduled events.

BOX SCORE PI KAPPA PHI GOALS

The accomplishment of some of the measurable goals presented on page 9 could not wait for the printing of this issue of the Star and Lamp. Therefore, goals already accomplished are: 1. Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation article in each is sue of the Star and Lamp.

2. Each issue of the Star and Lamp to present .one National Office activity (the goals themselves in this instance) .

3. Scholarship manual now available through the National Office. h 4. National Office use of group dynamics exercises each month (the 160+ suggestions for coping wit the energy crisis came from a brainstorming session).

5. Treasurer's Manual now available through the National Office.

lrtJ Yes, we the members of Pi Kappa Phi believe there IS an energy crisis. But we'd like to suggest that our reaction should be not one of panic, as these newspaper clippings seem to indicate, but sensible cooperation. Furthermore, we might benefit by belt tightening, light dimming, heat reducing and walk~ng or cycling. You see, Pi Kappa Phi is uniquely prepared to meet the energy crisis.

Physically, efforts to conserve energy are undoubtedly good for us. Morally, they may act as a purgative to a nation which is self-indulged, dissatisfied with its image and fragmented.

Families, instead of driving three cars to three different activities in one evening, will stay home and become re-acquainted . .Strangers in car pools might not be compatible, but at least there will be six less strangers.

Social activities might once again be centered in the neighborhood.

Office workers will find that shivering together gives them some common complaint and the girls can compliment each others sweaters.

It is axiomatic that a crisis brings people closer together. In extreme cases, like fire or flood, people have risked their lives to help fellow human beings. But some are always reluctant.

We, as fraternity members, are especially adept at leading others toward cheerful cooperation in conserving energy and accepting the crisis as an opportunity for personal growth and re-established values. We have lived, worked, achieved and, often, overcome together.

by Ernest C. Miller*

Editor's note: the following article was prepared late in July 1973.

Shortages in the petroleum industry are nearly as old ' as the industry itself but they have never been of the importance they are today. In the earliest days of the industry, along Oil Creek in northwestern Pennsylvania, crude oil sold for 10¢ a barrel in December of 1861, and for $14.00 a barrel in July, 1864, thirty months later. This high price resulted from halting production and new drilling, increased export demand, the suspension of specie payments, and the great demands created by the Civil War. Today the situation has radically changed. In little more than a century, we find oil and the products refined from it in short supply with immediate remedies not at hand for adoption tomorrow. The advent of the automobile and the airplane, greatly expanded industrial needs (especially in the heavy industry area), enlarged domestic requirements-all have contributed to help produce this condition. Our earlier methods of wasteful production and lack of positive conservation practices have also been to blame.

petroleum industry leaders several years ago but eke listened. Now the problem is upon us and we must tatic steps to solve it promptly or it will become more dras in the near future. pa.

Crude oil production in the United States is at ca a , city and increased production has been hampered bybY decrease in the depletion allowance several years ago, ur I

new refineries are projected, it takes three years at eo to build a large refinery and start it running and .;~nt then, refineries are worthless unless we have sufft crude oil to put through them. west 0 Dr. Miller, Alpha Mu at Penn State, is President of thek aod Penn Oil Co., Inc., Warren, Pa. He is the author of six booh; wns 9 many articles pertaining to the oil industry. In 1958~19~ whicb the official historian for Oil Centennial Inc., the organiZation celebrated the century of the industry.

Currently, nuclear power seen1s our only over-theyears solution.

9. Energy savings of many kinds will be stressed. Siinple examples are the greater use of mass transit systen1s and a switch to s1na1ler cars with fewer cylinders and lower gas consumption.

10. The environmental timetable will, of necessity, be altered backwards.

If the United States does not have an energy policy by the time you are reading these words, we will have shortly of necessity. No longer can we operate on a hit-andmiss basis; the situation is critical.

Editor's note: this addenda was prepared December 21, 1973, and bring the oil sih.Iation up to date.

Five months have passed since the first part of this article was written. In those five months prices have advanced extensively; crude oil prices in marginal fields such as Pennsylvania have been increased to at least $9.10 a barrel; the Alaskan pipeline bill has been passed

by Congress; and at least one foreign oil company ( National Iranian Oil Company) has made an agreement with an American oil company to supply it with crude for fifteen years in exchange for a 50% share in the refining and marketing of that oil.

The House has before it a bill to establish a new Federal Energy Administration which will be acted upon separately by the Senate, but such a bill must be passed eventually.

These all seem to be steps in the right direction. Crude oil from shale is probably a decade away, and off shore drilling must still be greatly increased. No matter if the Arabs commenced shipping crude oil tomorrow, it would be of little help as our refining capacity could not handle it so additional refining capacity is a necessity and construction is under way on many projects. The more extensive use of coal depends chiefly on the development of more economical ways to convert it to synthetic oil and gas and this will take time.

It seems logical to say that the energy crisis will be with us for some years but in the end it may prove to have been a blessing in disguise.

• • • When I received this letter from Larry Bolvig, I was so touched by the grandeur of his spirit, his dedication and his continuing concern that I wanted to share it with Pi Kal)PS everywhere. For reasons of space, we have had to cut some of Brother Bolvig's letter, but I believe his tnessage is clear.-Durward Owen.

Durward, Brother: I look across my den and sec on the wall, framed, the story uLarry Bolvig Retired to Music and Art," which appeared in the Spring 1973 issue of the Star and Lamp.

Dur\vnrd, that was a very fine gesture and what a lift it gave Doris and me. I received letters from many Pi Kapps and the parents of Pi Kapps who are living in the area. Then a \vonderful letter from Brother Howard Leake \Vhich expressed the thought ... "The way you t\VO have approached and handlecl your living hours has been amazing ... and also inspirational."

Not so long ago I had to rearrange my den and, in a very select place, I have put my copies of The Star and Lamp \Vhich go hack to 1934. Also I have a beautiful ushingle," a certificate telling the \VOrld th~lt I was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity on December 7, 1928 ... about 45 years ago ... and it \vas a GREi\ T day for me and many others at l3rooklyn Polytechnic.

I began to look through n1y copies of Star and Lamp and read once again about the 17th Supreme Chapter at the vValdorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on September 4-7, 1934. Golly, I was the Convention Chairman and extended ap invitation to Pi Kapps EVERYvVHERE . . . and what a convention that \vas.

1.,hose \vere the years of the terrible depression, but we \Vere able to get rates for truly magnificant rooms in that great hotel for $4.50 for singles, $7.00 for doubles.

And get this ... at the Savarin, one of New York's finest and in the Waldorf you could get breakfast from 35¢ to 50¢. \Vhen I look at the pictures of the 1934 convention and see all those handsome young men, I can't help but wonder if they are still proud of their Fraternity? Do they try to interest young men in Pi Kappa Phi \vho \viii attend colleges \vhere \Ve have chapters? Now is the time for all Fraternity :N1en to be heard, Clear and Loud.

Let's have a word from you. Send it on to the Star and Lamp of Pi Kappa Phi. Durward, I l1ave a big stnile on my face from re-living those BIG PI KAPP DAYS of 1934 and I leave you \vith all the blessings for the great \vork you are doing. God Bless.

V. ALUMNI MEMBER Work toward more meaningful and efficient services to the alumni member; to devise new and original ways of communicating the direction, needs, and accomplishments of the fraternity to this alumni member, in order that he may h~ve greater interest in and appreciation for his fraternity.

Dtrect the Star and Lamp as an alumni publication creating alumni pride in Pi Kappa Phi. Increase by 25°/o the coverage of individual alumni in each Star & Lamp .

Install the new alumni service program in as many student ~hapters as possible through their alumni housing coporatlon. Twenty chapters in the CAR program by June of 1974.

Improve the personal communication, appreciation and recognition between the National Office and those alumni Who are participating in the fraternity's giving program and tho se Who are serving in volunteer capacities.

Bridge the gap, real or imagined, between the student and the alumnus by documentation of real values of the fraternity experience as it relates to both.

VI. RITUAL The ritual is the keystone of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. In support of the Ritual a fraternity creed will be developed that defines the best in fraternity life; sets forth the ideas to which we all subscribe; and outlines the kind of character found in men of this stature, thus establishing Pi Kappa Phi as a fraternity of values (with a moral fiber that supports true brotherhood).

Construct and communicate a new creed that would encompass the essence of our Ritual yet relate to this day.

Construct a better packaged Ritual, to include improved Ritual Book and more particularly, staging and effects recommendations and suggestions.

Develop a habit among all National staff members to verbally, and by example, encourage more than cursory consideration of the Ritual by all members, students and alumni.

VII. ADMINISTRATION The growing demands being made by the membership upon the administration of the fraternity necessitate the acquisition of a more suitable national headquarters building by 1975.

Encourage involvement of students and alumni in a new headquarters by personal visitation to Charlotte.

A National Office staff of five in-office members to be implemented within three years.

A new headquarters building to serve as a center for retreats, seminars, motivational sessions, conclaves, research and archives, in addition to structural administrative functions.

Communicate to the membership more clearly what really happens in the National Office via publications and visits.

VIII. THE INTERFRATERNITY MOVEMENT Pi Kappa Phi recognizes that its success depends largely upon the success of the interfraternity movement as guided by active volunteer leadership. Our efforts shall be to fully cooperate with and assist this movement within the limits of our ability.

Continue an active participation in FEA, CFEA, NIC and regional IFCs. Involve staff members, more particularly field secretaries, in interfraternity activity.

Be a spokesman for the value of the volunteer leadership supremacy within the fraternity world. Work to have one non-NIC fraternity rejoin the NIC each year.

Progress continues on other fronts as wei I. The housing corporation has announced that an offer has been requested on the house the chapter currently resides in. An appraisal on the property is nearly complete which will determine our initial purchase offer and serve as the basis of the financing investigations. Due to the fact that it is impossible for us to support a mortgage loan of more than $110 thousand we anticipate a required down payment of $40 to $50 thousand. The Corporation reports a balance of $14,893.70 currently in the Building Fund all but the $47.00 that came from Alumni contributions being transferred over by the chapter in early October, the result of a year and a half of operations. From provisions in the chapter budget the fund will exceed $20,000 by the end of the fiscal year, but this will only be halfway. Attendance at the Corporation's Board of Directors meeting on December 1st, after Founder's Day, saw 26 in attendance from almost every decade of the chapter's existence, and the alumni enthusiastically pledged to begin a major fund raising effort immediately. Steps are already underway to put the program into effect.

Possibilities are quite good for expansion growth in California if action is taken within the next two years, while fraternity upswing growth is at its maximum. California at Los Angeles and

U.S.C. (that's Southern California) appear promising and we already have vast numbers of graduate students and alumni in those areas. Plans on setting definite expansion objectives and devising techniques to reach them have still not been implemented, however.

LAMBDA University of Georgia

XI Roanoke College

ZETA Wofford The Zeta Chapter began the 1973 fall sem~s!~r by pledging 11 new associate members. In November we 1n1t1ated two new brothers, Mike Henline and Charles Sim. This year we began a Little Sisters Chapter in association with Converse College. We have four Little Sisters at Converse College at present, and we expect this number to increase as the year progresses.

Zeta is proud it received a Master Chapter Award. .

A large alumni turnout helped make our Homecomtng Celebration successful.

IOTA Georgia Tech The brothers of Iota started the fall off with a good rush program. However, the new open rush here at Tech caught us unaware as to the way of approaching it. We did pledge four fine men one of whom was initiated. rn' sports Iota has had problems in rallying the offense: And in the Alumni-Brothers game, the Alumni won. The outlook for winter quarter is very hopeful and we are going to field some fine soccer and basketball teams.

Around the middle of the quarter the chapter acquired several new features. Among them is a Dixie Land Jazz Band which started out as a joke but by now has improved to the point where they have taken several outside jobs. The members ~re brothers: Rick Meer on drums, Bob Rowe on trumpet, Jtm Bouldin on clarinet and Allen Davis on bone. In courtesy of the Dog Syndicate, a new watchdog ~hose na~e was voted as ''Trapper" christens the floors. He es half coll1e and half shepherd. One other new feature was the painting of the upstairs hall to resemble an American flag. This causes some difficulties in the finding of the proper room at certain times.

Homecoming went over very well with the Jackets rolling over Duke. After the game we had a very successful alumni-undergraduate get together. All of this was the end result _of a week of disappointments caused by the unfortunate c.rack1ng of the frame of our Ramblin Reck entry and the burn1ng out of the main motor for our display. However, with all the downfalls, Homecoming was a memorable occasion.

Iota has undergone quite a few changes this quarter, hopefully for the better. We are hoping to have an even better winter quarter. Remember, alumni, you are always welcome here at Iota.

KAPPA University of North Carolina The fall semester, for the brothers of Kappa Chapter at the University of North Carolina, has proven to be an interesting and active time.

Many accomplishments, outside our chapter, have been made this fall for the community. We participated on Halloween with the sisters of Kappa Alpha Theta in collecting $450 for UNICEF. December brought the Christmas spirit to our house and the brothers donated money to the Orange County social workers for their annual children's Christmas Toy Fund.

A major concern of our chapter at this time is Mu Chapter at Duke University. We were contacted by Charlie Sutton, an alumnus and brother from Western Carolina University, who is now attending graduate school at Duke. He expressed to us the desire of Mu Chapter to become a chapter of the National Fraternity, and the appreciation of any help that our chapter could offer. So we are taking this opportunity to ask that all chapters of Pi Kappa Phi help them achieve their goal in any way possible.

Academically, our chapter has room for improvement. Brother Perdue, our Academic Chairman, has been working to set up a better scholarship fund within the house. Our chapter now has six Morehead Scholars who are active and our hopes are for the academic betterment of each brother. .

Kappa Chapter took one further step toward improving itself by having several members of the Toronto Student Exchange come to our house for lunch. This gave all of us a chance to learn about each other's way of life, and most important of all, we gained a few more friends.

Our financial situation is excellent. We began the year with a new rug for the lounge, and we do have additional sources of funds to pursue other areas that need improvement. At the end of last year we added a piano and a ping-pong table to the other section of the lounge. At the same time, we continue to have the lowest monthly dues of all the fraternities on campus.

Our chapter is big, yet we maintain an excellent level of unity among us. Many brothers are active in campus activities. Brother Dave Shaw was co-chairman of orientation week this year, and did a good job. Brother Paul McDonald is coordinating the intramural program with all the fraternities on campus. We even have representation in the food business as Brothers Glen Vincent and Scott Renwick are in charge of the snack bar and cafeteria respectively.

We are an active chapter with many varied interests. However, we are all brothers and strive to gain as much as possible from our inter-fraternity relationships among ourselves and our pursuit of common goals. We won the scholastic award last year, finished second in intramurars and the President's Cup, and sponsored various social functions here at the house. We have every reason to believe that we can repeat our excellent record of last year.

PSI Cornell To say that Psi chapter has had a good year so far would be a definite understatement. To say we have a great year would be much more accurate.

We are in the process of rewiring the house over the Christmas intercession. We have ordered a new stove, just waiting patiently for its arrival.

The brother that walked off with the Best Senior award for the class of '72, Carl A. Johnson, was elected our new chapter advisor, and is doing a fantastic job.

The Little Sister program that was just started a year ago, has been very successful; it has now grown to five Little Sisters.

The first weeks were rich with activities-abound concerned with acquiring new and fresh blood. Our double-rush program (pledges and Lil Sisters at one time) brought some bright personalities aboard. The 11 men and 30 women are a delight to have around.

We proudly added six brothers to our chapter; Rick Bohner, James Dedinsky, Theodore Hunt, George Quisno, Mikchael Harding and James Kaiser, who felt very privileged to be named an Honorary Brother of Pi Kappa Phi, Omega Chapter.

The second half of the semester was highlighted by: Homecoming and Thanksgiving, which were big successes as they brought back many alumni for fun and relaxation; Founder's Day Dinner on Dec. 16th, our first in a long time here at the house; and the additions of a bar, pinball machines and dartboard to our bum room.

Congratulations must go to a couple of seniors. We all were very happy to hear the news that brother Sonny O'Drobinak will be a traveling secretary for the National starting second semester and that brother Charles Keever, starting middle guard for the Boiler's varsity football team, received the Leonard Wilson Award for unselfishness and dedication.

All in all it was a very entertaining three and a half months.

Sorry to see it end.

ALPHA ALPHA Mercer University With the help of several outstanding area alumni, our chapter was able to complete some long-awaited lodge improvements.

Our game room, panelled and with shutters in the windows, has become our chapter room. The old chapter room, now the game room, has donned some new equipment including a ping pong table, a pool table, a pin ball machine, and an electronic ping pong machine. The pin ball, pool table, and electronic ping pong machines have a twofold purpose to provide enjoyment and to provide income. The lodge improvements were accomplished by saving the money that came from these machines last year.

In addition to this switch of rooms, all the other rooms have a new coat of paint. The chapter wishes to thank all who helped with this venture, and especially the alumni: Johnny Mixon, Steve Tanner, and Harold Johnson.

Recently, the chapter held its biannual election of officers.

The new slate is: Archon Clem Myers; Treasurer Johnny Mixon; Secretary Steve Tanner; Warden Wade Moore; Historian Jimmy Huntsinger; Chaplain Eddie Johnson.

The new Pi Kapps at Mercer are: David Johnston, Ed Pritche~ and Troy Raines from Macon, Ga.; James Edmonds and sa Stewart from Warner Robins, Ga.; Randy Wilson from Savannah, Ga.; Bill Lillycrop from Plantation, Fla.; George Perreault fro~ 5 Orlando, Fla.; and Bob Stallsmith from Ft.

The loan will be spent on a new roof, fire escape, flooring, and general renovation of the house. The house has had two recent additions one being a new fire alarm system, and the other a four lin~ phone system.

The chapter has once again sponsored the Greek Belles. The cost was higher this year, but the quality was better. The sales should bring a profit of $2000 into the chapter. This money will be used to buy new furnishing for the living quarters of the house.

Our E.C. is starting to work more and more together. The chapter has come from $3000 in debt to working in the black We are looking forward to another good year and Master Chap~ ter award.

War~ den; Dennis Bryan, Lanett, Ala. Historian; and Steve Hamel, Ft. Myers, Fla. Chaplian.

The chapter has been very fortunate this year to have 31 Little Sisters of the Star and Lamp. These girls have been working hard to keep the brothers entertained and their morale high.

ALPHA MU Penn State .Alpha Mu chapt~r has once again had a very active past term.

W1t~ the loss .of e1ght valuable brothers to graduation, everyone realized the Importance of an outstanding rush. Meeting the challenge, we have twelve pledges for the year so far and feel confident that we will have a total of at least twenty by spring term.

Turning to sports, our chapter had a very successful fall term Quarterbacked by Gerry Watto, our football team made it to th~ league playoffs, our bowling team showed promise with the help ?f som~ younger brothers, and two of our brothers played well 1n tenn1s.

Around the seventh week of spring term, new officers were elected. They were as follows: Archon, Bill Sharon· Treasurer Ted Kraybi II; Secretary, Rob Trotter; Warden, Larry 'sutler· His~ tori an, Steve Siegel; and Chaplain, Dave Vensko. ' Once again before Thanksgiving, we had our annual Pi Kappa Phi Turkey Drive. Working with the help of three sororities the brotherhood came together to collect $920.00 and many b~xes .. full of canned goods .. !he . collected money was used to buy turkeys for needy fam1l1es tn the area on Thanksgiving while the canned goods were used in gift baskets. ' As always, the brothers of Alpha Mu are proud to be Pi Kappa Phi's and proud to know that our house ranks with the finest on campus. Being named Champion Master Chapter at Pi Kapp College this summer was a great honor and has everyone striving to keep that honor. Finally, we would like to thank our chapter advisor, Richard Baker, for the fine job he is doing and congratulate him once again on being named Chapter Advisor of the Year.

ADPHA XI Polytechnic Institute of N. Y. ALPHA OMICRON Iowa State ALPHA SIGMA University of Tennessee Fall quarter put Alpha Sigma in a position to recognize its strengths, identify its weaknesses, and a chance to improve in both areas. Perhaps the most significant area in which improvement is needed is membership. This quarter, for the first time in years, the chapter is in a position to finalize purchase of its new chapter house by paying off the balance in a series of monthly installments. The payments may seem steep, but wouldn't present a burden to any member if the chapter were to pledge 20 or so men during Fall Rush. The problem is that only five men •

WINTER '74 I 19

were pledged, and the dream of finally purchasing the house was becoming a chapter nightmare.

The first thing the chapter had to do to correct any weaknesses in the Fall Rush program was to determine where it went wrong. A chapter brainstorming session was held which, in addition to outlining a pledge education program, selected members for a Rush Committee. The committee, headed by Tom Reynolds, has drawn up a rushing and bidding strategy for Winter Quarter. Part of the strategy calls for a chapter rush seminar to be held in the days prior to the beginning of Winter Rush which will include a slide show, talks by alumni, and a review of rush techniques. The chapter goal is to gain 20 new members by the end of the school year.

The chapter budget had to be cut back considerably during the quarter to compensate for a lack of new members.

A reduction in chapter budgets did not prevent chapter participation in campus activities, Alpha Sigma entered Homecoming competition and built a large, colorful front lawn display. The result: Pi Kappa Phi won third place in overall competition. Another project undertaken and headed up by Brothers Jim Moore and Bob Wolfe, was the publication of The Greek Belles. The Greek Belles is based on Alpha Iota's directory of sorority pledge classes, complete with pictures and campus addresses.

The chapter continued active participation in campus intramurals, capturing second-places in football, handball, volleyball, swimming, and bowling. Little Sister Rush was again sponsored by the chapter which gained thirteen new Little Sisters.

ALPHA TAU Rensselaer Since returning to R.P.I. this fall, the brothers of Alpha Tau have had little free time. For the past few years we have been in the process of rebuilding and, along these lines, this semester has been very successful. Rushing took up a lot of everyone's time, and it was worth it as we pledged 12 good men who already are beginning to work together as a unit. Doc Kirchgessner, now Archon Kirchgessner, deserves much of the credit for spearheading such a successful rush. We also initiated a Little Sisters program and last week pledged seven of Russel Sage's finest.

One thing that has made life a little more interesting around the "Castle" as we are usually known, is the fact that we have not had a kitchen for the past three semesters. Progress was halted last year because of financial complications, but work is now in full swing and it is expected to be completed by next semester. We are saving quite a bit of money by looking for .. deals'' on supplies and doing all the work ourselves. Doug Wiles is over-seeing the work, and it's really starting to shape up.

Starting this year, R.P.I. has initiated a 4-1-4 semester schedule with an optional mini-semester during January. Almost all the brothers will be back for it and we plan to finish the kitchen during the mini-semester.

Looking ahead, the basketball season's approaching and Sports Chairman Mark Lang anticipates big things. Right_ now, living conditions in the house are really comfortable so, wtth an ever-growing brotherhood, we may have to look for supplementary housing as we had to previously. And of course, as has every brother of Alpha Tau of Pi Kappa Phi over the years, we 're keenly anticipating the high point of our year. Rally Day.

ALPHA UPSILON Drexel University Alpha Upsilon has recently pledged ten young men as a result of our fall rush program. We have high expectations for resu Its from our continuing rush program and anticipate a sizeable winter pledge class.

Alpha Upsilon would like to thank Ted Scharfenstein and Ron Krebs for their help in developing a new financial program. The program has been quite successful in reducing our accounts receivable during its initial months of operation. The chapter house is entertaining a new image due to its recent exterior painting and our remodeled kitchen.

Coach Leo "No Wins·· Fitchko guided this year's volleyball team to a winning season with a 6-5 record. Coach Fitchko's string of 13 straight defeats (0-1 1 last year) was shattered during our third game of the season. We are looking forward to a successful basketball season with all five starters from last year's winning season returning for action.

Our second Parents-Alumni Day was a great success. Many parents and alumni attended the festivities. If you missed this year's event, make plans now to attend next November's affair.

BETA IOTA University of Toledo Beta Iota has appointed itself the most outstanding fraternity on the Toledo University Campus. This may sound pecular but it does exemplify the pride developed by the brothers in Toledo Ohio. Ever since our rebuilding process started a year ago and since the activation of 13 people, we have undergone a ~eries of experiences that have brought us together more than 1 had ever expected when we started .

The influence of Beta Iota was felt at Pi Kapp College Beta Xi, Alpha Theta and Gamma Zeta. They were each sh~wn a sample of .our "foc~sed insanity~' which is often found at many of our soctal gathenngs (otherwtse known as parties). Our own special brand of Purgatory Raising was exemplified at alf of the Toledo Rocket football games in which the Pi Kapps fired their cannon. . S?uthern chapters bew~re. It you hear an explosion this spring tt wtll be the Pt Kapp R~tders !rom Toledo shooting down your front door. We are planntng to tnvade the South this spring.

A few months ago our house was invaded by a group of little people from the neighborhood and a local orphanage. In order to save ourselves from their vicious attacks (in which they pile themselves on any immediate member) we fed them pop and cookies and took them to the zoo and a baseball game. As of late we haven't been molested by these Munchkins but rumor has it that they are planning a sneak attack this winter. Our alumni and parents have also followed the little people by touring the house and stealing the friendship of all the brothers.

BETA KAPPA Georgia State Pi Kapps at Georgia State are on the move. First, by bringing back their experiences from this summer's biennial workshop at Pi Kapp College, several brothers were able to enrich the chapter's rush and pledge program. With five new brothers and four additional pledges we are proud to say that the Beta Kappa Chapter has achieved the goal of initiating men that truly characterize Pi Kappa Phi. In addition the brothers and alumni have realized the value of working together as the addition of an alumni chapter here at GSU has pointed out.

The fourth annual Sports Car Slalom, sponsored in conjunction with the Sports Car Club of America, was successful by raising $200 that was donated to the Lukemia Society. Entries included those from other fraternities and sororities with alumnus David Ferguson placing first in his class. Our ''Feed the Children " Drive this fall was one of the best yet. An estimated $1,500 in canned goods was collected and given to the St. Vincent De Paul Church to be distributed .

With four new Little Sisters the chapter has gained an asset that is both enhancing and rewarding. Community involvement, better alumni relations, and a stronger brotherhood have made Beta Kappa a fraternity on the move.

BETA LAMBDA

University of Tampa Fall semester for Beta Lambda Chapter has been a very prosperous one. The officers for this semester were: Edward Macie Archon; Bruce Tosee, Treasurer; Steve Kidd, Secretary; Ken' Eagles, Pledge Warden; Mike Di Piazza, Historian; and Doug Smith, Chaplain.

The semester started off with the initiation of two new brothers, Tony Zahar and Dan Kryzwicki. Some highlights for the semester Include: Send a mouse to college for the American Cancer Assn., Painting of the Kennedy Blvd. Balastrade for U. T. President, B. D. Owens, and entertaining retarded children in Plant Park.

Besides these community projects, Beta Lambda is now leading the pack in intramurals this semester. We expect a strong finish and to win the intramural trophy this year. On the social scene, Beta Lambda has had many fine parties and outings which were enjoyed by all. In fund raising, our U.M.O.C. contest netted us $200 profit and a lot of laughs.

Our outstanding pledges for this semester are: Dom loli, Gene Ofrero, Steve Johnston, Mike Canova, Scott McCaig, Gary Stern and John Gooley. They have worked very hard and will be fine additions to the chapter.

We would like to thank these brothers for participating in Student Government: Dan Kryzwicki, Sophomore Senator; John Dwan, Junior Senator; Steve Kidd, Senior Justice and V.P. of IFC; and Mike Di Piazza, Secretary of Student Judicial System.

BETA MU

Central Michigan BETA OMICRON N. W. State of La. The brothers of Beta Omicron Chapter began the Fall of 1973. by supporting their community in the drive for the Cystic Fibrosis Fund. A hearty congratulations by the City of Natchitoches and the self-satisfaction of a job well done led the fraternity into preparations for October activities.

A haunted house with ghouls and goblins was the setting of the Pi Kappa Phi House on Halloween Evening. Youngsters from the local area turned out to see the members in their original costumes and to receive treats after a guided tour through the ''house of horrors."

During the months of November and December the brothers have been in the process of adopting a foster child. This project is soon to be finalized.

In retrospect, the Fall semester of 1973, has been a very successful and rewarding experience.

We are currently in the process of planning the Annual MISS Valdosta State College Pageant, to be held in February.

Beta Tau would also like to invite our alumni to drop bY our house anytime they are in our area, because they are always welcome.

Valdosta State College Members of Beta Tau are back at school for the quarter. Our house has undergone some drastic changes, for the better, since last year at this time. We also had a very prosperous rush, during which we pledged young men that we are convinced will be an asset to not only our chapter but to Pi Kappa Phi in general.

Fall quarter has also brought about our new slate of officers.

They are a.s follows: John Glisson, Archon; Mike Raynor, ViceArchon; Brll Maxwell, Secretary; Billy Mortenson, Treasurer· B~rney King, Chaplain; Ted Nelson, Warden; and Rusty Peavy: Hrstonan.

In intramurals the Big Blue has had an outstanding quarter.

As ~f this date we are number two among fraternities, and are hoprng to be number one by the end of the season.

As far as public relations goes, Beta Tau is doing an excellent job. During Halloween our pledges participated in a Halloween carnival for one of the local elementary schools. We felt that this was an excellent cause, as the money made was to be used for improvements needed on the school.

For our Fall quarter money-making project we gave a ten speed bicycle away. Our pledges are also planning a car wash to raise money.

Beta Tau sent four representatives to the Area VI Conclave in Gainesvi lie, Florida. These members reported that this was definitely a rewarding experience.

Fall quarter opened with the :vvinning of. the 1972-73 I.F.C. Scholarship Trophy and the pledg1ng of 38 f1ne young men. Our Rose, Miss Brenda Thurmond, honored us by being elected Miss T.S.U. and Homecoming Queen.

Homecoming was a great success this year. T~e Mothers' C~ub and Alumni Association made several accomplishments dunng the weekend. Homecoming activities ended on Sunday with the alumni defeating the actives for the third year in a row in our annual football game.

Fall quarter ended with the planning of our Rose Formal to be held in New Orleans, La., the first, second and third of March, 1974. We also elected six new officers for the winter and spring quarters, 1974. They are as follows: Archon Chuck Williams; Treasurer Mickey Byrd; Secretary Russell Brooks; WardenBill Brooks; Historian Ricky Rainer; Chaplain Thomas Minter. ·

GAMMA DELTA Memphis State Gamma Delta has doubled its chapter size and campus prominence this semester.

The chapter pledged 27 men this semester marking the most successful rush on campus. Although it is felt that the size of the pledge class speaks for itself in m~asuring the chapter 's rush the selectivity employed and qual1ty of the men s1gned proved to be the most significant factor in the program. several members of the c~apter were thrust into promin~nt positions this semester includmg Student ~overnment Assoslation members, student senators, Vice~Pres1dent of t~e Interfraternity Council, Intramural Sports Cha1rman , scholastic honoraries and Tennessee Institute of Stude~t Leaders delegates. . on the sports scene, Pi Kappa Ph1 has captured the lead tn campus and all-university intram.urals. In the ~rocess the ~It­ university bowling title was atta1ned for the f1fth consecuttve year.

Alumni in the Memphis area seem to b e respon d'mg f avora bl y to the chapter 's growth. It serves as great encouragement to the brothers to see the alumni's sp.irit for the fr~t~rni.ty rekindled. we would appreciate .the adv1ce and part1c1pat1on of a II the area alumni in the workmgs of the chapter.

For. a service project this past fall quarter, our chapter picked app.les to earn money for a local child development center. The project was a success and our Little Sisters really deserve a big hand for their help.

We invite all brothers passing through our area to drop in and visit.

After experiencing some rough road at the beginning of the semester, the brothers at Gamma Zeta are now in full swing.

Gamma Zeta once again showed that the chapter is a benefit to the community by being on hand to answer telephone calls for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Campaign . The brothers helped raise more than $700 over last year's total. Also, another great accomplishment for Gamma Zeta was to get our alumni involved in our annual Oil Drum Regatta. This year Gamma Zeta's alumni chapter has agreed to help us carry the load by taking over certain functions during the preparation for the regatta.

The old pad received a new coat of paint during the warmer days of this semester and some remodeling is expected to be done before next spring.

Some of the brothers have been doing some traveling to other chapters and have really enjoyed their trips. We at Gamma Zeta are hoping that we will receive visits from some of the other chapters during next semester. We at Gamma Zeta will be glad to show you a good time. Remember, you are always welcome at the home of Gamma Zeta.

GAMMA ETA Athens College The Brothers of Gamma Eta chapter are in a rebuilding stage this year. For the first time in school history the Interfraternity council voted on an open rush for the coming year and it was difficult to adjust to. With all but five brothers graduated, we had to work extra hard.

The campus here at Athens is very small, and the enrollment has been d.ecreasing for the past years. This year the total fulltime resident student number is at a low of 120 strong. The total enrollment is about nine hundred.

This year Gamma Eta has started a little sister program which has proved to be an asset of the fraternity. We hope to build up once again a strong and meaningful fraternity. Through the past months we have been in close contact with the colony located at Florence State University. The brothers at Florence seem to be hard working men and will uphold the strong image of Pi Kappa Phi.

GAMMA KAPPA Georgia Southern College The start of a new school year proved to be a productive time for Gamma Kappa Chapter. We have assessed our potential capabilities and then put this unlimited power of brotherhood to work. Having captured the number one scholastic position on campus last spring quarter, we are heading full force into being Georgia Southern ''Fraternity of the Year."

We have shown our achievements to the community this quarter by helping in the collection of funds for the National Red Cross and the local Mental Retardation Association. In both of these activities we came up with more funds than any other participating organization. We also hosted a Christmas party for the children's ward at the county hospital along with the Kappa Delta Sorority.

Our Pledges for the fall quarter were: Jeffry O'Neal, Thomson Ga.; Earl Hilson, Gibson, Ga.; and Bill VanSise, Jacksonvilfe Fla: Our officers for the winter and spring quarters are: Ar~hon, Terry Sapp; Treasurer, Robert McGoldrick; Secretary, Worth Andrews; Historian, Robbie Gates; Warden, Bill Dozier; and Chaplain, Clifford Waldrep. We are confident they will all do a fine job.

Delta Alpha Chapter is on the move. In the past quarter the newly heightened Brotherhood has shaped the chapter into new forms of solidarity, and all brothers both graduate and undergraduate have a right to be proud.

The first step was taken in rush, with the brother effort not only determined but successful. From a strong personal approach in recruitment there resulted eight pledges the largest pledging in two years. Also, this pledge class has placed us fifth in pledging among the 26 IFC Fraternities. Also, our newlydeveloped Social Brother Program, with three Freshmen and one Sophomore participating, enables presently ineligible intereste:d rushees to officially affiliate with the chapter. This 'program ts also expected to help boost our future pledging. Thus the benefits of a more stable membership will soon be realized.

With the upsurge of brotherhood activity has come an expansion of chapter programs. Building on past administrative efforts we have a?cente_d addition~! aspects of the fraternity.

For example, our Ltttle Stster Organtzat1on has been given birth with sisters expected to help with rush and other chapter acti~ vi ties in the near tutu re.

In scholarship, we have maintained a chapter grade-point average that is above both the all-men's and I FC averages. In service-related projects, the chapter has participated in the Fish program to aid in transporting Blackburg area elderly for medical treatments.

The problem area of the chapter has been finances. With a rent increase and a lower starting active membership, the budget had to be trimmed. But the brothers reponded to the challenge with two money-making projects and a house power conservation effort to see us through. Additional help was obtained from alumni contributions to both the existing housing fund and a newly-formed house improvement fund. Over $150 has been raised for the latter with the top priority given to repairing our problem driveway.

As we look to the future, the chapter will require a more permanent housing arrangement and will promote an expansion of chapter activities.

DELTA BETA North Georgia College Delta Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is proud to announce that two of its North Georgia College alumni placed extremely high in the Field Artillery Officer ~asic Course administered at Fort Sill Oklahoma. !~formation concerning the two men was contained in a special letter from Brigadier Gen~ral Robert J. Ko_ch, the Assistant Commandment if the installation, to NGC pres1dent Dr. John H. Owen.

Second lieutenant Dennis W. Carter placed second in the recent class standings and 2nd Lt. James T. Palmer finished third in the class.

According to General Koch, this high representation of a single college among the honor graduates of an Officer Basic Course is extraordinary. Only the top 5 per cent of the students in a class are so distinguished.

The fact that both of them are Pi Kapps simply reflects on the high character of our fraternity and enhances the just pride we can take in our academic quality.

Again this year the brothers of Delta Beta and our Little Sisters put on the Red Dog Saloon for Gold Rush Days here in Dahlonega. This has been a sole function of ours since we came into existence 3 years ago. The weeks of preparation paid off though , and the result was an outstanding show performed in front of several thousand during the weekend. Madame Marsha led her girls in several song and dance numbers to the delight of the audience. Ruby Red and the Necks, led by the ever-popular Midgee Hazelrigs, sang a number of popular songs that fit into the occasion. We also added a new attraction to the show this year in the form of a Dixie Land Band known as "Prickly Heat and the Three Day Rash", who filled in during intermission. And backstage we had a wide variety of beverages to keep all our hot and thirsty entertainers refreshed.

Even though it was a lot of work, we all had a good time , and are looking forward to doing it again. All of the money we made is going towards paying off our debts and for this year,s Ros€ Ball. We are extremely grateful to Hal Williams for all his time and effort. He is one of ·our greatest assets and we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to him.

Our rush has gone pretty well this semester with the addition of seven pledges. Thursday. Sept. 27 we initiated our summer pledge class. Brothers Joe Miklas. Mike Kucera. and Gary Copsey will be a healthy addition to our chapter.

DELTA LAMBDA North Carolina at Charlotte Delta Lambda chapte~ finally b~came a reality on Saturday, September 1 when Nat1onal Pres1dent Ted Scharfenstein presented a charter to Archon Lyndle Schenck. This presentation was the peak of a year of solid work on the part of 26 young men here at UN'CC. Before any further news of the chapter's activities, the brothers of Delta Lambda wish to thank the following people who aided immensely in our chartering: Mr. and Mrs. Q. Ted Ashley, Chuck Barnard, John Burt, Dr. Marcus Cook, Chuck Cummings, Jerry Galfups, Bennet Smith, and Charlie Sutton. If we have omitted anyone, please don't feel slighted because our memories tend to be short. Again, a special thanks to everyone.

Delta Lambda proceeded into the fall semester with unequaled enthusiasm. Fall rush, beautifully structured and well organized, netted 22 cream-of-the-crop young men. Under the leadership of warden Ron Oxford, the pledge class participated in every facet of fraternal life. Delta Lambda is proud to announce that 17 of these 22 young hopefuls were initiated on November 30 and on the following night a Welcome New Brothers party was given to these new initiates.

IN MEMORIAM Recently four distinguished alumni of Pi Kappa Phi have died. We would like to honor these men for their lives of service and achievement.

Henry Green Harper, Jr., who died September 27 at his home in Southern Pines at the age of 77, was honored on December 1, 1973 by Kappa Council and Kappa Chapter of UNC at Chapel Hill. At that time a tribute was read which said in part, "Henry Harper was a tireless worker all his life. He was an achiever,-a lcedar of men, a man of great ability, character, dedication, and purpose. l-Ie was initiated in Kappa Chapter on January 6, 1915, and for 58 years thereafter he was a leader in the extension of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity."

He was instrumental in organizing Mu Chapter at Duke University, Tau Chapter at North Carolina State University and Chi Chapter at Stetson. Also he helped to revitalize and re-establish Epsilon Chapter at Davidson College. ''In 1920 1-Ienry had been elected as Supreme Treasurer of the National organization. His ability in managing public funds for public purposes made him known far and wide as the man who had established the National Fraternity on a sound financial basis. ''After a long and distinguished career as a corporate executive, Henry Harper retired as Vice President of Good Year Tire and Rubber Company. It was a fortunate circumstance for all of us that this extraordinary man chose to live his last years in our midst."

Dillard Brown Lasseter, Eta, Emory and Oxford College, died in November of a heart attack. He \vas 79.

He was a congressional representative of the American Trucking Association and made his home in Washington, D. C.

After receiving his masters degree in political science from N. Y. University in 1915, Mr. Lasseter was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson to serve as a language officer in Peking.

During World War I, he was a liaison officer in the Britisl1 Army and served as a captain in the Battle of the Somme.

In the early 1940's, Franklin Roosevelt appointed him deputy administrator of tl1e National Youth Administration. Two years later he was made director of the War Manpower Commission for the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina.

President Harry Truman appointed Mr. Lasseter to be administrator of the Farm Security Administration in 1945. A year later, he also was appointed administrator of the Farmers' Home Corp.

Mr. Lasseter left government service in 1953 and became an agent of the American Trucking Association.

Wallace Butts, a graduate of Mercer and an initiate of Alpl1a Alpha, died Monday, December 17, of a l1eart attack at his home in Athens, Ga. Born February 7, 1905 in Milledgeville, Ga., Butts spent 22 years making the University of Georgia a national football power. He was head coach at Georgia from 1939 through 1960, posting a record of 140 wins, 86 losses and nine ties.

Butts was recognized as a master in developing outstanding passers.

In addition to Sinkwich, Trippi and Tarkenton, he also coached John Rauch and Zeke Bratkowski.

He is well remembered for his successful libel suit against the publishers of The Saturday Evening Post. A story in the magazine had accused Butts of conspiring with Alabama's c'Bear" Bryant to fix a football game, but in 1968 the court awarded him $593,000.

Brother Butts learned early that there was no short cut to success. Be was a stern taskmaster on the foot . ball field, but he never asked rnore of his players than he gave of biroself. He expressed this philosophY when he said, "The key to success is simple: work and work hard.

Work at your task until it is accornplished. Never lose sight of your goal; never quit. Develop this trait in high school; then the hurdles you encounter in college and in the game of life will not be too difficult to cI ear. " Elmer Christian Jost, Chi, Stetson University, born March 11, 190_1, died on New Years Day, 1974, J1l Florida.

Until recently, he served on the Executive Committee of Pi K~PP~ Phi Properties and was the Nat1ona Chaplain from 1968 until the winter . of 1972.

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL HAS, BY RESOLUTION, DECIDED THAT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF PI KAPPA PHI, THE 35TH SUPREME CHAPTER WILL BE DELAYED ONE YEAR AND INSTEAD OF AUGUST, 1974, WILL BE HELD AUGUST OF 1975 IN SAN FRANCISCO.

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi-The 35th Supreme Chapter will now be held in 1975 (not 1974). It was a decision that was not easy to come by, and one that all members of the National Council regretted having to make. Yet, I personally believe it was a decision which we could not have avoided. A Supreme Chapter in 1974 would just not be possible under the current and threatening future • • energy crisis.

The delay of one year in the conduct of a Supreme Chapter will not necessarily impose any hardships on anyone. Your elected office;rs, the National Council, are willing to contribute one additional year of their time and effort in order to assist Pi Kappa Phi face the energy crisis.

If you have a particular interest in seeing some legislative type action taken

by Pi Kappa Phi (such as would alter a particular Supreme Law or portion of the Constitution), please write your interest in detail, and mail to the Executive Director, Durward Owen. He will then work with you in seeking implementation.

I hope you will write me if you have any question regarding this action.

If we are relieved from these burdensome energy restrictions, we will look forward to seeing you in San Francisco, come August 16-19, 1975.

Most fraternally yours, •

Ted Scharfenstein National President

(It should be noted that the Atlanta Supreme Chapter did direct the National Council to delay a Supreme Chapter in 1978 so as to allow the 75th anniversary to fall on a Supreme Chapter year, 1979. So, we have just moved up the "delayed year.")
