When you can bring together almost three-hundred undergraduates and alumni from all across the nation and have them function together in a four day convention with understanding, kindness, and most of all, brotherhood, it is then that you understand pride in a very personal fraternity is not a regional possession, but the possession of all men who are Pi Kappa Phis. Although many members of the fraternity were apprehensive about the attendance due to general economic conditions and the great distance for the majority of the members involved, the turn-out was much better than expected. Almost 80 per cent of the student chapters were represented with most of them having two or more delegates. The convention studied, debated and made recommendations and changes in a comprehensive manner and, in fact, initiated more changes than any other convention in recent history. Varied events and activities of this west coast meeting are noted in articles throughout this issue. Pictures and captions will convey an increased awareness of the convention scene. Especially noteworthy was the speech by Brother Howard Baker,
