ANOTHER PI KAPP GOVERNOR FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

IND WINTER 1975

Brother James B. Edwards, a forty-seven year old dentist from the coastal county of Charleston, South Carolina, broke a centuryold tradition and became the first Republican governor of South Carolina since 1874. However, he is not the first Pi Kapp to serve as governor of the state of South Carolina. The first was Brother George Bell Timmerman of Sigma Chapter, the University of South Carolina.

Brother Edwards is Alpha Chapter initiate number 251, having been initiated by Alpha Chapter on February 16, 1949. In addition to the College of Charleston, he has attended the University of Louisville and the University of Pennsylvania.

Following military service with the Merchant Marine during World War II, he served again during the Korean War as Lieutenant Commander with the United States Navy.

He has membership in numerous professional organizations, and has too many honors and civic activities to list. In spite of his busy schedule, he does enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, sailing, and water skiing.

For the several days following his election, he did not alter his previous activities, and continued to meet his patients' appointments as scheduled. Brother Edwards inferred that if he did not continue working, he would be the "first bankrupt governor ever to take office." This is understandable when you consider the hectic schedule he had to lead during the campaign.

Brother Edwards was aware of the fact that he would come out the loser economically if he won at the polls, but he was aware of that before he became involved. He indicated that his candidacy was a labor of love, and that it constitutes "an opportunity not too many people have.

Dear Durward: Many 'new things seem to be happening in Pi Kappa Phi. Why don't you also use some new terminology.

For instance, instead of Colonies, why don't we use the term Associate Chapters. This would fit into the demise ofthe word pledge.

Students go to college for about nine months. They would appreciate Pi Kapp College more if they were not reminded of school.

So, name it Summer Leadership Retreat.

Seems like I've heard of negative comments about the use of the word National. So, why not call 1924 Vail Avenue the Administrative Office with an Dear Durward: Tomorrow begins my 79th year Administrative Staff.

OMEGA PROVIDES "GIFT SHOP FOR A DAY"

This Is how Omega Chapter's living room looked on the 6th of December.

Early Saturday morning on the sixth of December it appeared that the dining room and the first floor of Omega chapter had been completely ransacked. The couches were gone, the chairs were missing and the television was nowhere to be seen. No one was around and the house was dead.

The atmosphere was quite a different one that same afternoon.

Where before there were only bare walls and a carpet, there were now hundreds of people rushing around as if it were Macy's on Christmas Eve. They were all there for the "Gift Shop for a Day" where local craftsmen had an opportunity to sell their handmade items without having to pay the 25% commission charged by local crafts shops.

SAN FRANCISCO '75 Fred Diulus, Florida State, is busy making arrangements for your enjoyable stay in San

Sponsored by the Associated Parents Nursery School, the gift shop operated for the third year in a row and for the first time at Pi Kappa Phi. Over 100 area artists displayed items in the sale which included pottery, baked goods, Christmas ornaments,candles and painting.

Some of the most attractive items sold were a variety of ecology boxes entered by Brothers Jim Redenbarger, Greg Cannon, and Little Sister Jan Ramsey.

The sale, which lasted from 9 a.m.to 9 p.m., was a huge success, both in terms of monies received and public relations for Omega Chapter. The sale also received a wide variety of news coverage, in local newspapers, radio and television.

Francisco. Fred is Pi Kappa Phi's alumni coordinator for the 35th Supreme Chapter.

Other alumni working with him are Hank Schaeffer, Alpha Zeta; Steve Ryder, Gamma; Vince Consul, Gamma;and Bob Kuhlman, Toledo.

BIRMINGHAM ALUMNI NOTE!

Dear Durward: I was pleased to hear of the proposed Pi Kappa Phi - Florida Atlantic University MBA program. I feel that it is a great idea for our fraternity to be a sponsor of the MBA Program and hope that many of our Brothers will take advantage of it.

My undergraduate work was done at Valdosta State College and I received my B.S. degree in 1963. I have worked for Owens Illinois, Inc., for the past 11 years and help positions in Personnel and Safety. I was recently promoted to Operations Control Analyst for the company's Valdosta, Georgia, Mill which manufactures kraft paper.

The Executive MBA Program that Florida Atlantic offers Is second to none In respect to quality of education. The qualifications of the faculty are excellent and the cross -exchange of knowledge between faculty and student is Invaluable.

There has been a lot of planning and forethought put into the program. It allows an individual to graduate In minimum time without having to go to night school for a longer period of time and the possibility of losing credits in case of a transfer. I received my MBA degree from Florida Atlantic in 1974 and wholeheartedly endorse this program.

Fraternally yours,

GNB/mdc Enclosure

APPRECIATION CHAPTERS The National Council at its MAKE meeting on November 15,1974,did express the appreciation of the Council and of the Fraternity GOAL

Students are in real work need!

NEED SUMMER HELP? HIRE A PI KAPP

through appropriate resolutions of appreciation to the following members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity: John Meigs (Alabama), who while a student saved the lives of two small children during a destructive tornado.

Dr. Lewis Bullock (Emory), who has single-handedly been responsible for the development of suitable housing for the colony at the University of Southern California.

Rusty Patrick (California), for his years of devoted effort as a member, as chapter advisor, and as area governor, especially his personal expression of the high moral values of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

A. B. Stallworth (Presbyterian), who was singly instrumental in the development of a colony at East Carolina University, and then after chartering as Beta Phi Chapter the securing and maintenance of housing for that chapter.

Miss Grace Franklin, who for eighteen years has served as cook and unofficial housemother for the men of Kappa Chapter, and whose exploits are too lengthy to put in writing.

Steve Kyle (Toledo), who was instrumental as a motivated student in the revitalization of a chapter(Beta Iota)that was inactive for all intent and purpose.

MANY PI KAPPA PHI STUDENTS ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO SECURE SUMMER EMPLOYMENT. Here's a new program to help student Pi Kapps get summer employment, and to help alumni Pi Kapps to fill summer vacancies... and maybe test a smart young man for a future career with your organization.

Use the form below to register your summer job openings no matter how small. On April 1, 1975 a complete listing of all organizations registering and the job descriptions will be sent to each chapter. Instructions with the listing will advise applicants to make mail contact with the alumnus having an opening for which they are qualified.

Help your organization, and help a student Pi Kapp to gain experience and earn funds to complete his education. Think ahead — and then use the form at once. If more space is needed, just write a letter.

Two chapters of Pi Kappa Phi are the first to complete their Plus Five goals for this year. Alpha Gamma Chapter at the University of Oklahoma and Beta Phi Chapter at East Carolina University have not only made their Plus Five goals but have exceeded them and are still recruiting new members.

Over 97 Percent of Pi Kappa Phi Chapters Join the Plus Five Program. 82 of the fraternity's 85 chapters are committed to the Plus Five Program this year.

From all reports, it seems that everyone is quite involved in meeting their goals and, in many cases, trying to double the Plus Five number.

Remembering that the Plus Five goal is based upon initiations, it is good to note that several chapters are already halfway or better toward meeting their Plus Five goals of initiations this year.

As they, and most other chapters, still have associate members to be initiated,it would seem that meeting the total Plus Five goal is well within reach.

We have noticed a number of chapters that after "getting into" the Plus Five program have found how easy recruitment really is and are planning to go far beyond Plus Five. This note was received from Delta Delta Chapter at Northeast Missouri State: "The brothers at Delta Delta Chapter are really taking the Plus Five program seriously and we fully intend to double our Plus Five total goal."

In reviewing last year's chapters that received Master Chapter designation, we find that all of the Champion Master Chapters were either the largest or second largest chapters on their campuses. We also note that of the Master Chapters, over one-half of them are above the campus average fraternity chapter size. In reviewing this year's progress ofthe chapters on the Master Chapter point system, it appears that generally the chapters that are collecting the maximum number of points in all of the various categories are doing very well in their recruiting activities and seem to be progressing toward their Plus Five goals.

Chapter Letters ALPHA Charleston

KAPPA North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Alpha Chapter is proud to report that it has made tremendous improvement since last -§emester.

Through encouragement and suggestions from the National Office and active support of the alumni chapter, Alpha has had an outstanding rush, out-pledging our nearest competitor by at least ten. Our estimated number of new initiates for this semester will be 25, topping our projected "Plus Five" program number by three.

Fall, 1974, has been a most successful semester for Kappa Chapter. We are expecting a strong rush this spring and intend to reach our goal of 32 initiates under the Plus Five program.

Capital improvements around the house for this semester include a new carpet for the stairs, a foosball table which brings in additional revenue, and new furniture for the living room and television room. We are proud of the addition of eight dogwood trees to the landscape which our alumni organization donated to the fraternity in memory of Mrs. Dorothy Sneed, our former housemother, who passed away last year.

One of the highlights of our fall semester was our first Parents' Day. The turnout was tremendous, and the parents really seemed to enjoy themselves. The day's activities included a UNC-Pittsburgh game, a cocktail mixer, and a banquet that night at the Country Squire steak house.

Our 60th anniversary celebration took place on December 7 at the biannual meeting of our alumni organization, Kappa Council.

After a business meeting that morning, the house was open to all alumni for visits that afternoon. A banquet was held that evening at the Carolina Inn. Past National President Mel Metcalfe highlighted the event as guest speaker and thrilled the group with his magical tricks. A special award was presented to our beloved cook, Grace Franklin, who has faithfully served Kappa Chapter for the past seventeen years.

BETA Presbyterian Much progress has been made at Beta this year. Our alumni have helped us a tremendous amount by attending our Homecoming festivities and assisting with our new house.

Several members have worked on the house this past summer and have built a brick patio and barbecue pit in the backyard. A new T.V. was bought and plans are being made for new furniture.

We held a chapter retreat in Greenwood, South Carolina, on November 16 and ironed out many of our internal problems. Another retreat is planned for February

GAMMA California, Berkeley 1974 has proven to be Gamma's finest year in almost every respect. The new house was purchased at the start of summer and immediately occupied. The alumni officers have expressed great pride in the results of the project that looked highly ambitious at its inception. The alumni fund-raising project undertaken to finance part of the work was completely successful, for which the student chapter would like to express profound gratitude.

Other changes and improvements had to be made concurrently with the work on the new house. Chapter membership had to be boosted substantially, since the new house is much larger than the old one and the debt service higher. The result of a hard summer and fall rush was a 28-man pledge class, the largest at Berkeley in many years and the chapter's greatest success of a line of successes dating to 1965. When the house opened this fall, it was filled to the capacity available, with 53 living in. Twenty-one liveouts added yields a total fall membership of 74.

The alumni get-togethers this year have ben very well attended. The Founders' Day Banquet held on November 23rd saw more than 20 alumni present, adding much spirit to the festivities. The event was given some small publicity as an alumni reunion event for certain class periods and was well attended for perhaps this reason. Later alumni events this year will be publicized in the GammaZette or by invitation.

The attendance jumps at our recent alumni confabs has reflected a strong upsurge in interest in the fraternity. Involvement and interest have been increasing as Pi Kappa Phi has become pre-eminent among Berkeley fraternities. Success, with Gamma Chapter, has been a snowball effect and nowhere is this more evident than with the involvement and initiative shown by the alumni.

ZETA Wofford Pi Kapps did satisfactory in football intramurals this year, and we hope for an even better season next fall. As usual, we will be concentrating on basketball and expect a winning team this year.

Our fraternity is currently in the process of conducting several large community service projects. In the past we had a magic show for an orphanage. We plan to have similar activities this year.

IOTA Georgia Tech In sports this year, Iota nearly made the final play-offs in volleyball, losing out to a very tough opponent. We hope to make a fine showing this winter quarter in soccer, which has always been our best sport.

We had a great Homecoming this year with many alumni attending our dinner and dance which was held at the Atlanta Cabana Hotel.

Our Homecoming display was a contender in the campus judging right up to the final judging when a mechanical complication (a broken pulley) brought it to a standstill.

Iota has been making rapid improvements this year, and were looking forward to a very strong winter quarter.

U.S.POSTAGE 00

As far as everything else goes, we have been doing quite well. Participation in intramurals has been very good, and we are quite satisfied with our new members. Cockfest 74 was a tremendous success with the highest attendance figure recorded thus far.

TAU N. C. State Tau participated successfully in a food drive for the needy that our IFC sponsored.

We placed second in the overall participation.

The food drive itself was successful and was well appreciated. We continue to sponsor a mentally retarded Boy Scout troop as well as an Eye Drive.

Homecoming weekend was attended by many alumni. Our Parents' Weekend was also a big success with many of the brothers' parents visiting the chapter for the first time.

UPSILON Illinois As the Fall semester came to a close, the brothers of Upsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi looked back over the past year with great pride in ourselves, our housing corporation, and our alumni.

For new renovations on the chapter house, we give special thanks to our Housing Corporation.

XI Roanoke All of our energy and effort has been funneled into our commitment of 22 new members. With our small membership this year, the brothers of Xi Chapter are more united and committed to the ideals of Pi Kappa Phi than they have been for years.

Our house has taken on a new look. A paint job and new furniture have livened up the house.

An alumni weekend is planned for April.

We are having another banner year at Omicron Chapter. When fall rush yielded 30 fine pledges, we knew things were happening. This feeling was further bolstered when we received the President's Plaque for our outstanding alumni program.

The semester had several significant events, including Homecoming with many alumni returning for refreshment in school spirit and brotherhood; and Founders' Day sparked by an inspiring speech from Thomas Stowe, our new Area Governor.

On the political scene, we have two brothers running for S.G.A. Senate, and a third running for Secretary-Treasurer.

RHO Washington and Lee We're all having a wonderful time here in historic, picturesque Lexington, which is located in the heart of the fabled Shenandoah Valley, "Breadbasket of the Confederacy."

The weather has been less than acceptable of late, however. Something around 17-28 pledges were netted in this year's pursuit of the elusive fresh "men". A highlight of the fall was a visit from Pi Kappa Phi's traveling secretary, who stayed and stayed. No doubt he spread the word that Rho's cuisine is at an all-time high — simply exquisite. A special commission has been set up to attempt to deal with the brothers' academic failures, drinking problems, and drug addiction, all of which are considerable. The Archon has not yet appointed anyone to serve on the commission, however.

Yours in Fraternal Obedience, Loyalty, Faith, Hope,and Charity, P. E. Pendleton, Historian.

SIGMA South Carolina Here at USC there was once a fraternity quadrangle. Sigma has initiated the offcampus housing corporation which is made up of alumni members from each fraternity.

We hope that this committee can come up with the long-range proposals necessary for future fraternity housing at USC.

This year Alpha Alpha Chapter started with a great deal of enthusiasm. We are now trying to get our alumni involved in Alpha Alpha Chapter again because from them we began and with their help we can grow even more.

Alpha Alpha Chapter is growing, and we have many goals to achieve. With the group we have now, Alpha Alpha will soon become very prominent as a Pi Kappa Phi Chapter.

ALPHA GAMMA Oklahoma On Wednesday night, September 11, 1974, Alpha Gamma Chapter held a special meeting at which our archon announced that Pi Kappa Phi Properties along with the efforts of our alumni had purchased us a house. Until then, Alpha Gamma had shared a house with the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and this marks the first time that the present brothers have actually had a house to themselves.

Last semester our house gradepoint improved one tenth of a point over the previous one, and should be even better this semester with the use of the study hall in our house, something we have never had before.

ALPHA DELTA Washington The brothers at Alpha Delta Chapter are in a process or reorganizing our chapter to accommodate the changing mood of today's undergraduate. Many of our new pledges are taking active roles in the management of our house. Our philosophy behind this move is to create an atmosphere whereby we may acquaint ourselves with the responsibility the pledge will take when he becomes a member.

This atmosphere enables both parties to become acquainted with the other.

LAMBDA Georgia

OMICRON Alabama

ALPHA ALPHA Mercer

ALPHA EPSILON Florida

We would like to thank our alumni whose loyalty, participation, and devotion have played a strong part in keeping Upsilon an outstanding chapter. The brothers cannot express how much they enjoyed talking to alumni who stopped by to say hello, and all that returned for homecoming, and encourage all our alumni to do the same if they are ever in the area.

CHI Stetson Pi Kappa Phi is continuing to mature as the leading fraternity at Stetson University.

We are presently the University's largest fraternity and proudly view our superior pledge class as Stetson's future leaders. We possess: The President's Cup (best fraternity in athletics), the University's Scholarship Trophy, the House Award (presented to the best kept fraternity house), and we have been recently awarded the highly prized Champion Master Chapter.

Pi Kappa Phi leads as a fraternity and individually. We are represented on campus by the president of the Student Union (the only student government), the president of Omicron Delta Kappa (men's leadership honorary), the editor of the Stetson Compass, and the chairmen of nearly every University sponsored function. Other brothers are in the positions of Vice-President ofJudiciary Council, a voting plurality on the Student Union, members of Omicron Delta Kappa, and recipients of Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities. Chi has also been a major contributor in University and fraternity charity functions.

PSI Cornell The Founders' Day celebration held at the chapter house was a great success this year.

This follows a successful homecoming with alumni in attendance.

OMEGA Purdue University A feature article on Omega Chapter activities is elsewhere in this issue

Alpha Epsilon is off and running after a reorganization effort that began in fall.

The chapter began the fall chapter with six active brothers. With the help of the National Office, the brothers recruited 22 associate members and began a meal program at the house.

The chapter worked on three service projects during the last academic quarter. These provided services to both the Gainesville area and a national concern.

We also raised $394 for the American Cancer Society when we ran with the game football from the University to the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville.

Additionally, the chapter participated in a city-wide cleanup campaign in conjunction with Gainesville's Public Works Department.

Members rode in refuse trucks one Saturday morning and picked up piles of trash along side city streets. We won an award for having the highest participation percentage of all fraternities involved.

ALPHA ZETA Oregon State Alpha Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi celebrated its fiftieth anniversary the weekend of November 22-24. Approximately 200 alumni, friends, and current members were present at one time or another.

Nearly 150 people attended the banquet Saturday night at the Country Kitchen Restaurant. Special guests at the banquet were three charter members — Frank Howard, Arthur L. Sliffe, and T. J. Starker.

Also attending the banquet were Jack Steward, Past National President from Alpha Zeta, Dr. George Odgers, Area Governor for Pi Kappa Phi in 1924, and Earl Layman, Area Governor. Master of ceremonies was Kurt Engelstad, '60. It was altogether a great success!

Following the game the alumni held their meeting in which a new scholarship fund was created in conjunction with the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation. So far about $400 has been pledged from alumni, and the chapter has voted to raise its board bill one dollar a month with that dollar per man going directly to the scholarship fund.

6 / THE STAR AND LAMP

ALPHA ETA Samford We at Alpha Eta have continued to work hard to bring honor to the Pi Kappa Phi name, as our efforts have been well rewarded. After winning the intramural football and handball championships, we lead the overall intramural standings. Next came the annual Step Sing on Samford's campus, and as usual, the Pi Kapps won the fraternity division. We at Alpha Eta are also proud to claim that all the male cheerleaders here at Samford are brothers.

Recently the brothers and pledges, in a continuing effort to concern ourselves with community activities, took a trip to a nearby nursing home for an afternoon of fellowship with the residents there.

Finally, the excitement continues to mount as Alpha Eta approaches the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary. Festivities will be held on April 25 and 26.

35th Supreme Chapter August 17- 20,1975

ALPHA THETA Michigan State Alpha Theta opened the 74-75 school year with a remodeled kitchen. Almost all of the work was done by the brothers, a task that was much needed and appreciated.

The brothers and alumni of Alpha Theta are working on the fiftieth anniversary celebration that will be held on May 10, 1975. We plan a real good time for the event, and further plans will appear in the alumni newsletter.

ALPHA IOTA Auburn Alpha Iota Chapter, after appropriation of funds just this past year, has received a vital uplift both in physical appearance and in general fraternity morale.

Academic wise, Alpha Iota is expecting a superior campus ranking with an approximate 1.9 on a 3.0 point scale.

Alpha Iota's formal will be held this year on February 21,22, and 23, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Riviera Hyatt House. All alumni are invited to attend.

ALPHA MU Pennsylvania State Our annual Turkey Drive, a program to collect food and money for the needy families of the area for the holidays, was a huge success, with over $1,500 collected. This year, one of our brothers is the Chairman for the IFC Dance Marathon. This past fall the brothers of Alpha Mu participated in the nationwide Pitch-In program to clean up the campus and surrounding community. We have four brothers on the executive committee, more than any of the other fifty fraternities here.

ALPHA TAU Rensselaer The future of Alpha Tau is brightening at a steady pace. Our most recent source of pride is our nine pledges, and the prospect of several more. They have worked alongside brothers to better the physical and social atmosphere at the chapter house.

In store next semester is a new publication, "Alpha Taux," meals cooked in our new kitchen, and hopefully a continuation of our recent improvements in academic standing.

Re-establishing Alpha Tau as a serious, thriving chapter has been, and will continue to be, a rewarding experience.

ALPHA UPSILON Drexel The chapter has been doing quite well with the support of its present brothers, and with a forecast of a growing brotherhood this trend will hopefully continue to grow as well.

Major house improvements of the fall term included the installation of an emergency lighting system and an automatic CO2 fire extinguisher in the kitchen.

Alumni participation has been growing in the last few years at Alpha Upsilon at an increasing rate. Thanks to those alumni for your involvement and support.

ALPHA PHI Illinois Inst. of Technology ALPHA PSI Indiana Alpha Psi is pushing forward this year in membership and other areas. Our chapter is one of the few chapters on the I. U. campus that showed a membership increase over last year. We should easily obtain our membership goal this year and be well on our way to Master Chapter status.

Physically, the house looks better than it ever has. We initiated some new programs this year such as Parents Club and a serenade committee; we have some musicians this year! In Intramurals we are currently fourth overall out of 16 houses in our division.

The brothers here at Alpha Psi have shown a great deal of enthusiasm this fall in all areas, and everyone has contributed to the cause.

BETA ALPHA New Jersey Inst. of Technology

ALPHA XI Poly. Inst. of N. Y. A newfound spirit from last spring is beginning to have its effects in Brooklyn. Along with new vitality in the brotherhood, our chapter house is being revamped. New electrical and heating systems are to be installed along with a facelifting on the exterior of our Brooklyn Heights brownstone.

ALPHA OMICRON Iowa State This fall Pi Kappa Phi Properties bought our house, and with their help we got some much needed repairs done including a new roof.

We are planning a heavy rush for this spring quarter and hope to pick up at least ten new members.

The future is bright for the first time in many years. We know we will grow and prosper this new year. We the men of Alpha Omicron would like to say it is great to be a working chapter again.

ALPHA SIGMA Tennessee The brothers of Alpha Sigma came back to school with many honors. Among these were second academically among fraternities on campus, newly improved house, and Master Chapter award. Not wanting to slow down, new heights were looked to beginning with fall rush which was tremendously successful with 21 new associate members.

The IFC Christmas Party for underprivileged kids was a success with the Pi Kapps participating with a shaving cream pie throw.

Beta Alpha is alive and well, and thriving in Newark. We're 35 brothers strong, and proud recipients of a Master Chapter Award for a second straight year, and proud to be Pi Kapps.

Our annual Summer Retreat was again held at the beautiful "Karnack Beach Mansion."

The main topics being discussed were rush and pledging, and a new pledge program was drawn up and is now being tested on our present pledge class.

We're proud to say that we took first place in the IFC Greek Olympics. Keeping up with tradition, we took first place in the tug-of-war for the sixth straight year. Other activities we participated in were the IFC Talent Show and Blood Drive, numerous school events, and the recently held Area I Conclave at Rensselaer. Future Beta Alpha events being planned is our Roseball on March 15th.

Now to mention a few names, Brother Bob Morgan is Vice-President and hopeful future President of the Student Senate. Brothers Aivars Krumins and Karl Kopans are President and Secretary of the IFC respectively.

And finally, Beta Alpha would especially like to thank all you alumni who have contributed their time and money to the Chapter.

BETA BETA Florida Southern With the close of the 1974 school year, Beta Beta lost a contingent of ten brothers to graduation. The transition of leadership was made and the chapter has launched itself into what could be our most successful year ever.

Rush for the spring is now in high gear with the majority of the brotherhood participating.

The formation of a freshmen intramural football team has provided the chapter with a very solid group of Potential Pi Kapps.

Pi Kapp held its annual Halloween Haunted House with the KD's and once again it was a huge success. All donations were given to UNICEF. Many alumni have dropped by this year.

Besides the visits we have had numerous cards and letters from far away brothers.

BETA DELTA Drake We have established ourselves in a very highly respected position on the Drake campus. We have examined our house operations and have chosen to solve small problems within the chapter to improve and strengthen our brotherhood. Several communication devices, such as a check-out board and a weekly schedule of events have been initiated within the house.

On the Drake campus, we have again strengthened ourselves by winning the fraternity scholarship trophy for the seventh time in the past eight semesters with a 2.96 GPA. We took home the 2nd place trophy in Sweetheart Sing, the annual fraternity/ sorority song-fest held during Greek Week.

The Greek Week Committee was co-chaired by a Pi Kapp.and three other Beta Deltians held committee posts. For the second consecutive year, Beta Delta has a brother named Pi Kapp Scholar, and three brothers were named to Gamma Gamma, the honorary Greek society. Beta Delta, along with the Alpha Phi sorority, have made the finals of Bulldog Tales, the annual campus variety show, which Pi Kappa Phi has taken first place in the past two years.

This past year a brother held the IFC Treasurer position and next year we hold the Secretary position in the IFC.

BETA EPSILON Missouri, Columbia Fall semester, 1974, Beta Epsilon's first as a chapter, has progressed very well. The biggest goal of the semester, earning a charter, was achieved November 2. Efforts and energies are now directed at strengthening our recruiting program to obtain an optimum number of members for this campus.

We have met just a tew of the alumni from the original Beta Epsilon; it would be our pleasure to have others stop in any time.

BETA ETA Florida State

BETA OMICRON Northwestern State, Louisiana The Beta Omicron Chapter has been making great progress this fall.

We have helped begin the LouisianaAlumni Association which has divided the state into eight sections to aid in communication with alumni. These districts are to be chaired by select alumni, each of which will notify their district inhabitants of meetings and important events. The headquarters will be in Natchitoches, where the newly elected president, Freddy Goodman, lives.

BETA TAU Valdosta State This was one of the most successful rushes in years as we topped all other fraternities on campus.

A game room has been added to our house, and plans are in the making to redecorate our garage possibly making a new brotherhood room. Work has also begun on our Miss Valdosta State College Pageant to be presented Winter Quarter. Many celebrities will be present including the current Miss Georgia.

BETA UPSILON Virginia For the second year in a row,the brothers of Beta Upsilon helped raise money for the March of Dimes by sitting on a flag pole —this year for 126 straight hours. Almost all the brothers took a turn or two on top of the fifteen foot pole. Led by the community service chairman, the house raised $1,300 for this needy cause, with the help of local radio, TV, and newspapers.

On the financial side, Beta Upsilon is still one of the most stable. The chapter is in possession of the exclusive rental rights on small refrigerators for students in and around the grounds, and this money is always welcomed, allowing us to operate normally during this highly inflated economic period.

BETA PHI East Carolina

Beta Eta Chapter is in the midst of a successful year. In addition to several projects and a thus far successful intramural season, we have hosted an area conclave for Area VI which was attended by most of the Pi Kappa Phi chapters in the area. Also, we are currently working toward the development of a progressive and continuous alumni relations program. It is our hope to begin this program in the spring and be implementing it 100 percent by September. With plans to complete a complete recruiting program during the spring, this should prove to be one of the more successful years in Beta Eta history.

Beta Phi has returned this year as strong as ever. The replacement of the chapter house, following the fire last February, was made possible through the consorted efforts of concerned local alumni, and Pi Kappa Phi Properties.

Projects like Red Cross Blood Drive, Heart Fund Drive, and Christmas parties for underprivileged children are under way. The main campus activity in the making now is the directory of all sorority girls on campus as a fund raising project.

BETA IOTA Toledo

BETA CHI East Texas State

BETA KAPPA Georgia State

Fall semester for Beta Chi has been a very prosperous one. It started off with initiations and then recruitment. We are looking forward to the beginning of a new year to see what it holds for Beta Chi Chapter.

BETA LAMBDA Tampa BETA MU McNeese State Pi Kapps are active at McNeese campus as our continue to infiltrate governing bodies.

Positions now held by brothers are: Nero Hebert, SGA Treasurer; Keith Welsh, IFC Treasurer; C. J. Hebert, Campus Editor of school newspaper; Phil St. Romain, Debate Team and Rules Committee of Senate.

Congratulations are also in order for Archon Paul Brown, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

The chapter attended the Area VII Conclave recently. The conclave provided an excellent chance to re-examine ourselves.

BETA PSI Tenn. Wesleyan BETA OMEGA East Tennessee State We are proud to announce that we have won our third Master Chapter award. Presently, we are striving hard for the prestigious Champion Master Chapter award.

Homecoming '74 was a big success for Beta Omega. A great many of our alumni returned and enjoyed themselves for the two days of festivities. Still, we are hoping to see even more return for our Roseball '75.

Our annual Pig Roast in November was a success. This is a money making project for the chapter as well as a gesture to improve our neighbor relations.

This Buffalo Valley Country Club will be the site of the annual Roseball next April.

GAMMA ALPHA Livingston In intramurals, the Blue Raiders are in the unfamiliar runner-up spot after the fall quarter. With numerous civic projects under our belt, Gamma Alpha Chapter is considered a strong contender for the "Most Outstanding Organization" on the campus of LU.

GAMMA BETA Old Dominion Beta Mu Pi Kapps and Little Sisters having more fun than people.

BETA XI Central Michigan With renewed vigor, our fraternity with the cooperation of the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority has staged an all-campus Road Rally with great success. We plan to make this an annual project. Other project involving the campus with our fraternity includes a Winter Carnival.

We are also proud to announce that for the first time in over two years the Beta Xi Chapter will celebrate Founders' Day. The festivities include a banquet to be held at the Embers Restaurant in Mount Pleasant. The date will be in February to coincide with the chapter's Founders' Day.

Gamma Beta celebrated their Tenth Chartering Anniversary on October 26, 1974, at the Lafayette Yacht Club. There was a tremendous response from the alumni. It was a pleasure to have Dr. Magoon, our faculty advisor, James Arrington, our first chapter advisor, and Wilson Kilgore, our housing advisor, in attendance. We would like to thank all the alumni in participating in this event, P. Meador, D. Dixion, L. Crum, L. Beverly, D. Aitchenson, R. Leech, P. Moses, B. Bright, T. Sharpe, E. Nicholls, B. Stamply, R. Howard, J. Majka, B. Hampshire, D. Midgett, S. Lepp, D. Posey, R. Wimer, W. Ridgely, J. Ryan, J. Smith, B. Moore, J. Kady, K. Womack, R. Rixey, C. Cordle, C. Cattlet, T. McAndrew, M. Challoner, B. Mayer, B. Boring, E. Estes, C. Lumsden, R. Zendzian, J. Van Cleve III, C. D. Wong, and J. H. Brandon, Jr. We appreciate the help from Lenny Sharp in coordinating this event with us.

WINTER / 7 Charleston Ball was held on December 7, 1974, with a banquet at Lewis Restaurant and with a party ending at the Pi Kapp mansion.

With all this activity, Pi Kappa Phi still has the highest academic average on campus among fraternities with a 2.747.

GAMMA GAMMA Troy State Gamma Gamma has begun the year on a winning note. At Homecoming the Mothers' Club and Alumni Association met and formulated many plans for the upcoming year. Attendance by over 250 students and alumni helped make Homecoming a great success.

Plans have been made to hold the annual Rose Formal in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the winter quarter. This fall Gamma Gamma has also been designated Master Chapter for the third year in a row. Congratulations are also extended to brothers active in other areas on the campus. Wiley Sprayberry, President of the Intra Fraternity Council; Mike Canfield and Peter Wilks, Student Government Association; Randy Yerkes and Tim Cumuze, starters on the Troy State Varsity football team; and Samuel Fredrick, Head Drummer for the TSU band.

GAMMA DELTA Memphis State Gamma Delta Chapter continued to make great progress this semester in the fields of member recruitment, intermurals, housing, and involvement in campus activities.

Placing well in intermurals has become a tradition for Gamma Delta. Presently we lead all fraternities in this category.

Plans have been drawn for a meeting house in the back, a much needed facility for our growing brotherhood, by the housing corporation.

Pi Kappa Phi has established itself as a fraternity of campus leaders. Gamma Delta members hold the following positions on campus: President of the Student Government Association, Chairman of the Tennessee Student Association, IFC Vice-President, Publicity Chairman of the IFC, President of Cui Beta Phi — an honorary biological association, several members in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, several members of ODK — an honorary scholastic organization, as well as the President of the Residence Hall Association.

GAMMA EPSILON Western Carolina We the brothers at Gamma Epsilon are facing what could be the best and greatest year yet for us. During fall rush we have gathered a pledge class of 24 men, the largest pledge class we have had in the last three years.

We are very excited this year to see a lot of our alumni returning to visit us and for the big turnout of alumni at our homecoming.

GAMMA ZETA— West Virginia Inst. of Technology Several weeks before the start of the fall semester at WVIT, the brothers began a major remodeling of the Pi Kappa Phi house. We have now almost completed the work which included total construction of a large meeting MOM.

Spring brings about our annual Pi Kappa Phi Oil Drum Regatta which we consider a major event for the year. This year the course will be longer than usual, but will be back at its original location in Montgomery. The race this year will be held around the 19th of April.

GAMMA ETA— Athens

GAMMA THETA— UNC-Wilmington

GAMMA KAPPA— Georgia Southern Initial steps have now been taken to acquire our fraternity house. The alumni are very helpful to the student chapter. We are very grateful for the guidance and assistance which we receive from the supporting alumni.

Pi Kappa Phi has participated in several service projects and also been the recipient of various awards. Service projects include collection for the mentally retarded and the Blood Mobile drive. Awards comprise of Greek Spirit, Scholastic Award, and that of our proudest achievement, Master Chapter.

GAMMA LAMBDA— Missouri, Rolla Autumn, '74, found Gamma Lambda in a mood for quiet contemplation for the future, and celebration for the present. Early in the semester, members thoughts were directed toward more successful methods of oncampus rush. These thoughts culminated in several novel rush activities.

Early in November, the chapter also got to share in welcoming our new brothers at the rechartering of Beta Epsilon Chapter at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The chartering, along with a very welcome visit to our chapter from the jovial Mr. and Mrs. Mel Metcalfe, provided a new source of inspiration for all of us at Gamma Lambda Chapter, and we now look forward to a spring semester of growth and brotherhood with enthusiasm and eager anticipation.

GAMMA MU— Belmont Abbey

GAMMA PHI— South Alabama

For many months now, Gamma Mu Chapter has been silent. We would like to inform the brotherhood that we are indeed still active, even though we have encountered many setbacks. We are happy to inform you that Gamma Mu is well on its way toward becoming a viable and active chapter.

We have put to good advantage the small enrollment at Belmont Abbey, by working on a one-to-one basis with prospective members.

While Gamma Mu has weathered some severe storms, and is rallying, we wish to inform our alumni that their support and assistance is still very much needed. We also wish to invite both alumni brothers and brothers from other chapters to stop by and see us when you are in the area.

Gamma Phi has become somewhat aggressive in its attitudes toward campus activities during this past fall. As a group we have worked hard to organize and execute our activities in a more effective manner. Our main objectives were to increase our membership and to reorganize the Inter-Fraternity Council on campus again.

Much of our work would be for naught except for the help we have received from the National Office. If other chapters are not already taking full advantage of their services, we would sincerely suggest they do so.

GAMMA NU— LaGrange This year Gamma Nu Chapter has been active in both nationally involved projects and local projects. The brothers worked diligently to encourage the citizens of our community to vote in our state elections. Also as a community project Gamma Nu gave full pledge support to LaGrange's annual P.P.&K.(Punt, Pass, and Kick). As a national project Gamma Nu gave support to UNICEF.

GAMMA XI— Georgia Southwestern Gamma Xi Pi Kapps certainly made the Fall Quarter, 1974, no exception as far as outstanding achievements were concerned.

Fall saw Gamma Xi take second place in College Academic Bowl competition. The Pi Kapp Raiders stormed the gridiron by winning the Intramural Championship.

The final weekend of the fall quarter saw Founders' Day Celebrations at their finest.

Over 150 Pi Kapp members and alumni were present for weekend activities. Saturday's banquet saw Pi Kapp hearts and heads filled with love as Brother Reverend Tom Griffin, '71, poured forth the true meaning of brotherhood in Pi Kappa Phi.

GAMMA OMICRON— Bethel Fall quarter at Bethel opened with the return of brothers ready for another successful year. Bethel is a small campus with a powerful Pi Kappa Phi chapter. Our chapter sponsored the Haunted House at Bethel once again on Halloween eve and night with tremendous success.

Our chapter celebrated Founders' Day with a steak dinner at Rocky's Restaurant here in McKenzie following a formal meeting and installation of new officers.

One of our goals for this year is a Champion Master Chapter award. Last year we received a Master Chapter award and only missed the Champion Master Chapter award by five points.

GAMMA RHO— Lander The fall semester proved to be a very productive one for Gamma Rho Chapter. We experienced our best rush ever.

Our most exciting news is the acquisition of a house. We expect to move in very shortly.

The brothers of Gamma Rho are very proud of the progress the chapter has made and we are extremely optimistic about the future.

GAMMA SIGMA— Armstrong

GAMMA TAU— North Texas State This fall, Gamma Tau started on an internal and external improvement program. We started first with the upstairs of the chapter house. We paneled part of the upstairs and refurbished one of the bathrooms.

We organized a haunted house for Halloween. This was a most complex undertaking and was more successful than planned. There were long lines in the front of the house most of the night. We also cut wood in Oklahoma to raise money.

Most of our ventures would not have been possible except for the many hours of help from our new Chapter Advisor William Sawyer.

GAMMA UPSILON— Oklahoma State The spirit of brotherhood is really alive at Gamma Upsilon this semester. After a stagnant year last year, concerned members pulled together to bring us our most successful semester yet in our short five-year history.

Leading our list of accomplishments is our new kitchen facilities. We teamed with the Alpha Delta Pi sorority to win first place honors in the homecoming decoration contest, while finishing second in Parents' Day participation.

Initiation had a special significance this fall because we initiated our 100th member of Gamma Upsilon. So as far as the numbers and quality of members go, we are definitely growing stronger.

GAMMA CHI— Jacksonville

and locations have shown good prospects for our new home.

We observed Founders' Day with a banquet held in the Student Union. The brothers enjoy visiting with alumni and other invited guests.

DELTA EPSILON— Jacksonville State During rush we pledged 33 young men, our best effort ever. We also initiated four new brothers and one alumnus.

Founders' Day 1974 was a change of pace for the brothers of Delta Epsilon. Instead of having a banquet, we had a stag party at the house for brothers, pledges, and alumni. The reason for doing this was so we could pour money into our housing fund. It was a success and some alumni awards were presented.

This year we had four brothers to make Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

GAMMA PSI— Augusta The brothers of Gamma Psi at Augusta College devoted most of the latter part of their summer to work on a major enlargement of the chapter house. In recruiting, our emphasis is on leadership and dedication.

The fraternity has continued to work for the purchase of the house and building up a strong building fund. As always, Pi Kappa Phi is at the forefront in school activities and has fielded orientation teams and assisted in registration.

GAMMA OMEGA— Montevallo Gamma Omega is again experiencing a very productive year. We have almost finished refurbishing our house. This has included painting the downstairs, putting up new drapes, refinishing the floors, adding a new room upstairs, and adding new furniture.

DELTA ALPHA— Virginia Tech

DELTA ZETA— Appalachian State The fall quarter was begun on a high note as Delta Zeta Chapter received for the first time the Champion Master Chapter Award. A total involvement by all brothers was the key role which allowed our chapter to receive the award.

The activities of Phi Kappa Phi's Delta Zeta Chapter involved the co-sponsoring of two Haunted Houses Halloween night for the community of Boone which raised over $400 that was donated to various charitable organizations. Our chapter was also closely involved with IFC which sponsored an All Campus Dance that raised over $800 for Muscular Dystrophy.

DELTA ETA— Morehead State The brothers of Delta Eta are proud to say that we had our largest pledge class on campus this semester. We are struggling but participating well in intramurals. This fall we were pleased to be the host chapter for the Area XXIII Conclave.

We at Delta Alpha are in the midst of another growing and building year. Although our membership is higher than it has ever been before, we are looking forward to spring when graduation will claim a greater percentage of brothers than ever before. Therefore, an extra effort is being made toward recruiting in order that we may meet our "Plus Five" goal.

All of the Pi Kapps here at Virginia Tech are especially proud of the Champion Master Chapter award which we received last spring.

This fraternity is proud of its brothers who stood behind it through these not so easy times.

Our community relations are improving with each service project we perform. It looks like a good year to come for Delta Alpha.

DELTA BETA— North Georgia Quite a few of our brothers returned from ROTC Advanced Summer Camp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to assume leadership positions within North Georgia's Corps of Cadets. Pi Kappa Phis now hold positions as commanders in three of five companies and in one battalion.

Delta Beta conducted a pair of fund raising projects during the recently completed fall quarter. The "Red Dog Saloon," presented annually by the chapter during the city of Dahlonega's "Gold Rush Days," got the ball rolling with a net income of $1,000 plus.

Later during the quarter the brothers conducted a project for Cystic Fibrosis, collecting close to $400. The money helps support the Cystic Fibrosis Clinics at the Respiratory Center in Augusta, Georgia, the Grady Clinic in Atlanta, and the national research effort to find a cure for this life-threatening disease.

DELTA THETA— Mars Hill Delta Theta Chapter returned this fall after losing five of its charter members at the spring graduation. The 26 brothers worked hand in hand with the Little Sisters organization in decorating the entire campus for Homecoming. Due to their efforts, the Pi Kapps received the Best Spirit and Display Award of Homecoming weekend on a unanimous vote by the Mars Hill College Cheerleaders.

The members combined together to work and serve the Red Cross when the Bloodmobile came to the mountain campus in early November. We took care of the physical setup of the area as well as the assisting that was required from the nurses and attendants during the draining operations. Not only did Pi Kappa Phi assist the Red Cross but also was the organization donating the largest number of pints of blood for the seventh semester in a row.

DELTA GAMMA— Nebraska—Omaha

DELTA DELTA— Northeast Missouri State

The brothers have been engaging in several money making projects in order to raise money for a Christmas party and a visit from Santa Claus for the kids at the Mars Hill Handicapped School. We have sponsored a dance, a movie festival, sold cushions at football games, and held a car wash.

The brothers are working toward a membership education program instead of a pledge program and the difference is already evident in that it is producing good brothers, not just good pledges.

Rose Ball 1975 is already organized and the third gala celebration for the young chapter is the biggest yet, set for late April at the Asheville, North Carolina, Great Smokies Hilton.

In community and campus activities, we at Delta Delta have outshone our previous efforts. This year we have taken part in United Fund and Heart Fund drives. We have contributed time and labor by cleaning up the stadium after home football games.

We picked up hay this fall for a money making project. Although the weather didn't cooperate, we sure had a lot of fun working together.

Our brothers attended the Area X conclave at Beta Delta Chapter at Drake University. The DELTA IOTA— conclave was very beneficial to those Middle Tennessee State brothers attending.

The brothers of Delta Delta were happy to Delta Iota is still alive and well, working be able to participate in the rechartering of toward new goals and achieving old ones Beta Epsilon at the University of Missouri. along the way.

8 / THE STAR AND LAMP

DELTA KAPPA— Pembroke This semester has been both a trying and at the same time fulfilling one. Late in the summer a new fraternity house was purchased which required many hours of repairing.

In the fund raising department, our second annual tuition raffle was held this semester which netted us a clear profit of about $400.

This extra money was really needed to help finance our new house and for our fraternity functions such as the Rose Ball coming up in the spring.

The highlight of the semester had to be Delta Lambda's observance of Founders' Day on December 6, 1974. Mr. Mel Metcalfe was the honored guest speaker. He spoke of love and devotion between the members of the chapter and was very moving in the style and manner in which he delivered his message. It was truly an experience Delta Lambda will not forget.

DELTA MU— Methodist

DELTA Xl— North Alabama

ALPHA BETA COLONY— Nicholls State

The past semester ended with the chapter excelling in athletics, service to the community, inter-Greek relations, and scholarship.

Our two service projects were helping coordinate the Bike-a-thon for the Cancer Society, and the Red Cross Bloodmobile.

Both were outstanding successes, with area-wide recognition from the Bike-a-thon, and First Place in participation for the Bloodmobile. A trophy was given to us indicating we were number one of all groups not only on campus, but also in the city.

Due to our current efforts being devoted to our expected chartering in February, the Alpha Beta Colony has limited its activities in community projects this semester. Our project this semester was the Acadia Day Care Center annual halloween party. Sponsored by our colony, a party was held in costume to entertain the special education children.

Arizona State Colony

DELTA NU— Western Kentucky

DELTA LAMBDA— UNC-Charlotte Delta Lambda has grown immensely during the fall semester here at UNCC. We are presently the largest fraternity on campus, but our major area of growth has come in the construction of new bonds of brotherhood within the chapter.

After a three-day summer retreat, we started the school year off with a vigorous rush program, signing up 13 men under the newly adopted MRE program.

Pi Kappa Phi is number one academically at Western. Besides academics, Pi Kapps hold the top two offices in the IFC with President Bill Ricke and Vice President Kirby Perkins providing inspired leadership for the 16 other national fraternities of the IFC. By helping to set up equipment at university sponsored concerts, we have raised over $300 for our housing corporation.

In the service aspects of our group, plans are now being drawn for the second annual Muscular Dystrophy Carnival. Also, the Pi Kapp associate members participated in a local blood drive, achieving local TV publicity and even more important helping others in need.

Even though our alumni chapter is still growing, we have had a great amount of participation of our alumni. We are lucky to have graduates who wish to remain involved in any way they can.

Led by Archon Tom Wolff in front, members of colony enjoy car wash fund raising activity.

BETA EPSILON CHAPTER RECHARTERED The weekend of November 2, 1974, was a true cause of celebration in Columbia, Missouri. Pi Kappa Phi once again was established at the University of Missouri. That weekend, 29 enthusiastic Pi Kapps were initiated and joined the ranks ofthe alumni as members of Beta Epsilon Chapter.

Serving as Chartering Officer was Ron Krebs, National Secretary, and his Assistant Chartering Officer was Dennis McVay, Area Governor. An impressive initiation ritual was presented by the teams from Northeast Missouri State (Delta Delta) and Drake(Beta Delta). Mr. Pi Kappa Phi, Mel Metcalfe, entertained and motivated the banquet celebration marking the end of the initiation activities and the beginning of life once again for Beta Epsilon Chapter. Representing the University of Missouri was Dean Gary Moden.

Appreciation was extended to the local alumni who have worked so diligently with the student members as the chapter was developing. Serving as Chapter Advisor is Dan Boyer (Delta Delta), and as President of the Housing Corporation, Robert Brock(Alpha Sigma), University of Tennessee.

Other Pi Kapps in advisory positions are Larry Kantner,Indiana, and Barry Dunnegan, Drake.

The new initiates of Beta Epsilon Chapter are: Edward William Miles, Jr., James Stephen Reed, Stephen L.DeHart,James G. Harlan, Gary Virgil Dill, Frank Russell Patton, Jr., Michael Edward

ACTIONS OF YOUR NATIONAL COUNCIL At its meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, on November 15-17, 1974, the National Council, among other things, took the following actions: Approved F. N. Thompson,Inc., as the contractor for the new headquarters building, Harold Cooler as the architect for the new national headquarters building, and Home Federal Savings and Loan Association as the mortgagor.

Determined that it was in the best interest of the fraternity to move from a portfolio committed primarily to common stocks to one which places emphasis on fixed returns investments.

Authorized a fund raising campaign for the new national headquarters building to be conducted

by Brother Boyd Evans, Auburn, presently Director of Development for Middle Tennessee State University.

Re-elected Richard Anderson, Otis McCollum, and Richard Viguerie to four-year terms as Trustees of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation.

Authorized the Executive Director to commence a study of the fee structure of the fraternity, and to determine if the current initiation and pre-initiation fees should be increased. The last change in membership cost for Pi Kappa Phi was enacted in 1968.

Expressed confidence and appreciation to Kelley Bergstrom, Iowa State, for his service to the Fraternity as President of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc. It was especially noted that his task is an unthanked one, but one which is absolutely essential for the ongoing of the fraternity.

Approved the sponsoring of an MBA degree program for members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, in conjunction with Florida Atlantic University.

Approved a new approach to the appointment and utilization of Area Governors, in a program identified as "Area Governors Motivational Plan." This plan is to be implemented as of the 35th Supreme Chapter, at which all Area Governor appointments are terminated.

The National Office, by Council action, is to continue functioning on a Management by Objectives basis. These objectives as expressed in the "National Council Expectations for 1974-1975" were presented and approved. The previous year's expectations were reviewed, and the actions of the National Office were approved. i.. a 1.1111.MAII IRATIM25 .

A new in-depth program covering the membership-recruitment and educational concept has been developed and distributed to chapters. Although the MRE (Member Recruitment-Education)concept has been available in philosophical terms for the past several years, we have found a real need for "nuts and bolts" practical guides for chapters in setting up their own programs.

After much study and research, a program is now available for chapter use. The total concept is one of associate membership — not pledgeship. The associate member is given benefits of fraternity membership and thus proves his worthiness of becoming an initiate by his actual direct involvement in the fraternity and its programs through his own efforts. This concept was developed. to specifically take the place ofthe antiquated and much despised pledge system which, along with its attendant hazing, has been in direct opposition to the ideals and philosophies of Pi Kappa Phi for a great number of years.Should you desire copies of this program,just write the National Office.

THE RED DOG SALOON Nestled in the foothills of North Georgia is a small town known as Dahlonega. Every year about October this community reverts back to an era of goldminers and gunfighters. As with every town of that forgone time this one also has a saloon. But this is not an ordinary saloon because this one is operated and managed by North Georgia chapter of Pi Kappa Fraternity, with the help of the Little Sisters.

Upon entering the Red Dog Saloon a person is immediately sent back a hundred years in time.

From the inside comes the aroma ofgunpowder and perfume. At the same time the sound of honky tonk music fills the air. As the visitor takes his seat — escorted by pretty barmaids — he is about to embark on a trip into the past.

The owner comes on stage and welcomes the visitor amid a roar of drunken card players, and just plain drunks. With the entry of Ruby Red and the Necks all hell breaks loose. Ruby, played by Midge Hazelrigs, is a long time favorite of the saloon and sets the tone by singing some favorite tunes, backed by three guitar players. Following the stupendous act the dance hall girls take the stage. To the surprise of everybody they go into a bodacious version of their own can-can.

If you thought Ruby brought the drunks out, the dancers brought them out of the woodwork. The sheriff is forced to throw several of the Brothers out. Following this act, which is difficult, a sweet and voluptuous young lady sings a melody of favorites.

Again the dancers take the stage and perform another version of the can-can, but this time they are stopped half-way through by a drunk climbing upon the stage. This event necessitates the calling in of the sheriff, who quickly proceeds to shoot the drunk. When the undertaker removes the body the dancers continue to finish their act.

As the show closes Ruby Red comes back on stage and ends with "Dixie" and "Cotton Fields".

The Red Dog Saloon is the annual big money-making project of Pi Kappa Phi at North Georgia College. Brothers put a large amount of work and effort into this. All costumes and accessories are made by the Little Sisters.

This year the chapter raised $1,900.00 We hope we will be able to continue this project for many years to come. If any of you Pi Kapps are passing through Dahlonega during Gold Rush Days, make it a point to see the Red Dog Saloon. It will be well worth your while.

'Mid-week program For additional information contact the Executive Director at the National Office of Pi Kappa Phi. Also available at the National Office is a "Pi Kappa Phi Getting a Job Kit." Many Pi Kappa have found this kit useful as they have sought employment or careers through their own means separate from the Pi Kappa Phi employment service.
