He's a family man who relaxes in his mountain vacation home and plays tennis and golf at the country club.

But there are other sides to Edwin Jones.

Edwin Lee Jones, Jr. is an unassuming man who would hardly be noticed sitting in his pew at the Methodist Church. He is a strong but gentte man.

He is a member of Pi Kappa Phi. But the same intensely private man who enjoys the opera and small, impromptu dinner parties, rules an international construction empire with such far-reaching financial and political connections that security consultants advise him to conceal when and where he jogs.

Jones, 58, is president and chairman of the board of J. A. Jones Construction Co., the second largest construction company of its kind in the United States. The community rracppptc him for multimillion-dollar

donations to cancer research, college endowments and civic projects.

He drives an Oldsmobile Delta 88, pumps his own gas, and his wife, Lucille, irons his shirts and shops at the A&P.

There's the world traveler who oversees more than $600 million worth of business in the competitive, politically sensitive world of international construction. Two of his major contracts last year were with the prerevolution government of Iran. And some of his 11,400 employees are working on one Saudi Arabian project so secret that the company's annual report won't say what it is.

Those overseas connections and his well-known wealth raise the specter of a terrorist attack in his tranquil neighborhood where Jones lives in a high-security condominium. So security consultants advise Jones not to disclose details of his personal fortune or his daily routine.

There is the Edwin Jones who saw no moral problems three years ago in complying with an Arab edict not to do business with Israel or send Jewish employees to Arab countries. Jones, who had $400 million in contracts with Arab countries at the time, urged Congress not to punish U. S. firms who adhered to the Arab boycott. The issue involved politics and economics, not ethics, he said.

Jones entered Duke in 1940, was initiated by Mu Chapter on Octo-

ber 13, 1941, but left in 1942 to enlist as a private in the Marine Corps. He fought on Iwo Jima and in Guadalcanal and came home a lieutenant. In January 1948 he graduated with a bachelor of science in civil engineering, and the same afternoon he went to work for J. A. Jones.

By 1951, Jones was becoming a force in the community. At age 30, he was a director of J. A. Jones and the Bank of Commerce, JonesBrown Realty, Poplar Apartments, Inc., Highlands Hotel Co. and Bel-

vedere Hosiery Mills.

In the following years, he became president of J. A. Jones and raised five children.

Jones' power doesn't begin with personal magnetism. "He's not the kind of person who can get up and sway a crowd," one friend concedes.

His appearance and mannerisms are hardly overwhelming. One businessman says Jones "travels all over the world, but you'd never know it from the way he talks and dresses.

He's a diamond in the rough."

EDITORIAL

Because you are the best!

It has been a tremendous thrill for me to have had the opportunity to serve as your National President for the past two years.

Since the time we shared in New Orleans many exciting things have happened that have made Pi Kappa Phi an even better fraternity. You have been a big part in these changes just as you are now making our future and our history. Let's review a few of your accomplishments.

Oklahoma alumnus inducted into Jim Thorpe Athletic Hall of Fame Granville "Granny" Norris, a 1927 All-American football player at the University of Oklahoma, was inducted into the Jim Thorpe Athletic Hall of Fame Friday, June 15, 1979, in ceremonies at Lincoln Plaza Hotel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Norris, 72, now living in Muskogee, Oklahoma, was unable to attend due to illness but a former coaching associate, Reggie Williams of Idabel, accepted the plaque in Norris' absence.

A native of Laverne, Norris was a tackle and captain for the Sooner's football team in 1927, and was also captain of the baseball team at OU. He was guard on OU's undefeated basketball team and hit.446 in baseball a record that still stands.

We continue to be the fastest growing National Fraternity having increased our ranks by six chapters and thirteen colonies during the last two years.

We are constantly being asked to consider new campuses and new locations because of our history of success and our reputation as a first class organization that is continually striving for excellence.

These requests keep coming because your Administrative Staff, headed for the past 20 years by Durward Owen, provides more services to our chapters and members than any other fraternity. Our present staff to chapter ratio is 1/13, well ahead of most other fraternities. Constant chapter and individual assistance is being offered. New programs are being introduced which keep us ahead of other organizations in providing "how to" information to our chapters.

Your P.U.S.H. Project has already helped hundreds of severely handicapped children to reach beyond their previous realm and into new worlds of personal achievement.

The Scholarship Foundation, headed by Dick Anderson, has made significant strides and has just introduced new scholarships for the sons of alumni as well as an annually awarded Founders' Scholarship worth $1,000.00. In addition, this group has continued their heavy financial support of Pi Kapp College as well as their continuing financial aid and student loan commitments.

Pi Kappa Phi Properties under the most able leadership of Kelley Bergstrom has now reached a Corporate value of $1,154,966 in only 12 short years of existance. New chapter houses and properties are constantly being reviewed by this dedicated group of Pi Kapps.

Perhaps the most impressive statistic of all is the fact that your fraternity has done all of these things without any fee increase in the past six years.

An unparalled feat in these times of spiraling, double digit inflation.

He signed a professional baseball contract with St. Louis but a serious knee injury ended his career prematurely.

While at OU he was presented with the "Brown Derby" for Most Outstanding Athlete on campus of OU and received the "Jazz Hound" plaque for being the best athlete on the OU campus. Norris also served as a member of the OU Athletic Council for 20 years.

He coached in Cushing and Idabel before becoming the U. S. Marshall in Muskogee in 1936. Norris retired from the oil business in 1924.

Alpha Gamma(OU), along with the AIESEC, is sponsoring a ten kilometer race in the Fall of 1979 as a tribute to Granville "Granny" Norris.

Exact dates for the event are still tentative.

A graduate of Chi Chapter at Stetson University, Mark C. Hollis credits his father's philosophy of "everybody's gotta pay rent for the space they occupy," as the basis of his interest in public service.

Hollis, Vice President of Publix Super Markets, Inc., represents the company in Public Affairs and Public Relations. A lot of his time is spent working with the state legislature and the congressional delegation in Washington representing the concern with Publix for the preservation of the principles of economic freedoms.

The National Interfraternity Conference, the chief forum for interfraternity affairs, has elected Col. Ben W. Covington, Jr. (USA, Ret.) to its Executive Committee. Ben is only the third Pi Kappa Phi delegate in 67 years to be selected for this advisory post. Al Meisel (Alpha Xi) and W. Bernard Jones (Alpha) have been previously honored.

Following graduate work at Cornell, Ben distinguished himself in the armed forces, serving on several negotiating teams and as a military attache in France, Germany, and China. He became the first member of the U.S. Power Squadron to be awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the U.S. Coast Guard, as recognition for his direction in furthering the safe boating objectives

- The need for a good project to bring Undergraduate and alumni brothers together is a problem that sometimes faces chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. Members ask how they can inspire alumni and undergraduates to help solve housing and financial problems while improving the chapter's image.

At the University of Montevallo in Alabama, Gamma Omega Chapter has found a classy solution to the question. Last spring, alumni and student members pitched in to produce a Miss America preliminary pageant in Montevallo.

Held on March 24, the Miss Montevallo Pageant was organized and run by alumni living in the Birmingham, Alabama area. Needed leg work and manpower was supplied by undergraduate brothers at Montevallo.

The results of the effort was significant. Seventeen university and high school women competed for the title of Miss Montevallo. The pageant program, professional in every way, was produced by alumni brother Sammy Joseph. Music was performed by the school's jazz ensemble. Scholarships and gifts totaling $500 were awarded to finalists.

The University of Montevallo responded to the Pi Kapps' pageant by providing them the use of its auditorium and official guest house rent free. Dr. James Vickery, president of the university, hosted a reception at his residence for all contestants, their parents, judges and brothers.

Scholarships were extended by a Birmingham industrial manufacturing firm and an engineering firm.

A university faculty member also donated $100 toward scholarships while a Montevallo dress shop donated a $100 gift certificate and the winner's crown.

Pageant finalists came from three states. Their parents and relatives carried the name of Pi Kappa Phi as being gracious hosts back home with them. The fraternity's image was further boosted when at least seven newspapers in Alabama, Florida and Georgia featured stories and photographs of the Miss Montevallo finalists.

production, and publicity. Dr. Jim Beal, the Chapter's Advisor, served as treasurer.

pursue the possibility of sponsoring a Miss America preliminary pageant.

Brothers contacted the "Birmingham News", which holds the franchise to host the Miss Alabama program from the Miss America organization.

The "News" provided contracts and detailed information on hosting a pageant.

Alumni talked to sponsors of preliminary pageants at other colleges in the state. They learned that pageants usually do not make big money in the first year, but bring in several thousand dollars in subsequent years.

In January, Gamma Omega alumni signed the contract to host the pageant. Brothers executed a $1,000 bank note for "seed money"to start their program. Two co-chairmen were appointed to oversee the project while committee heads were named in the areas of programs,communications, judges, contestants,

A two-page advertisement covering the cost of printing the pageant program was sold to the Montevallo Chamber of Commerce. For their consideration chamber members were named as pageant co-sponsors.

Women's Greek organizations on campus were approached for contestants along with the university music department. A general notice for contestants went out to the entire student body and local high schools. Undergraduate brothers publicized the event by sending waves of handbills through the campus and town.

Student chapter members sold concessions, programs and tickets on the night of the show. They also acted as escorts for contestants and provided security backstage.

On pageant day, events started early. Brothers were in the auditorium setting up the stage, sound equipment and lighting by 8:00 a.m.

They were assisted by university senior drama students who were hired to run sound and light equipment. Rehearsal began at 9:30 a.m. and continued until noon.

The President's reception followed

at 2:00 p.m. Contestants began their personal interviews at the school's guest house at 3:00. A banquet for judges, university and town officials, and brothers followed. The pageant show got underway at 7:00.

Contestants were judged on their interview before the show started and on talent, evening gown and swimsuit competition on stage.

Talent judging counted for half the points in choosing the winner.

Miss Montevallo,junior music major Susan Grooms, received a $250 scholarship to Montevallo and was a contestant in the Miss Alabama contest in June.

Attendance in the first Miss Montevallo pageant was moderate, yet Gamma Omega realized several hundred dollars profit on their initial effort. Brothers believe they have set the stage for a really big pageant in 1980.

Perhaps the most significant accomplishment of the Miss Montevallo pageant, though, was the spirit of accomplishment it generated among alumni and undergraduates.

After just finishing the 1979 Miss Montevallo contest, Pi Kappa Phi has already requested a date on the university calendar for the 1980 pageant!

In addition, the Miss Montevallo Pageant was judged by the Miss Alabama Pageant Director, who oversees all Miss America preliminary pageants in the state, as being the best first-year show she has been associated with.

These are the results. What went before were three months of hard work by Pi Kapps in order to bring the laurels to their chapter.

The idea of hosting a pageant was first discussed last fall when Gamma Omega's alumni began meeting informally to discuss their chapter's housing situation. They sought an annual project which would finance imprOvements to their chapter house.

Then, at the chapter's housing midmeeting in corporation December, alumni voted to actively

DAHLON EGA, GA. — The Fall Quarter Pledge class of Delta Beta Chapter at North Georgia College recently completed their pledge project and the results were well worth waiting for. The pledges, with the help of the college's Plant Operations personnel, constructed a large cement archway with an old-fashioned porch swing suspended beneath it. Located in a shady spot on campus adjacent to the Student Union Building, the Pi Kapp swing has already proven to be a favorite place for students between classes. In fact, a path has already been worn in the lawn leading to the swing. The brothers are now in the process of pouring a sidewalk with a landscaped border around the arch. Pictured above are the brothers and little sisters following the dedication ceremonies. Believe it or not, there

really is a swing in there somewhere.

Add 3 charterings and you have 93 chapters Travis Julian (Omicron) during the April 28 ceremonies. Assistant Chartering Officer, Jerry Timpson (Alpha Theta) and Administrative Office representative Stuart Hicks, were also witness to the occasion.

Undergraduates from Michigan State (Alpha Theta) and Bowling Green (Delta Sigma) executed the Ritual of the seventeen men.

The newest Pi Kapps are: John Beyerlein, David Bozoarth, John Brooks, Robert Byrd, Dan Castle, Dale Duby, John Dula, Jr., Stephen Gilbert, Jeff Dirard, Steve Hettinger, John Kenyan, Ted Lukomski, Jeff Mynhier,Warren Pefley,Rich Probst, Martin Svihra, and James Wilson.

A & M These new initiates represent the chapter membership of Delta Omega Chapter at Texas University.

College President Avend Lubbers was featured speaker at the chartering banquet. In forecasting the development of the Greek system at Grand Valley, Lubbers emphasized: "The responsibilities of being Number One cannot be forgotten."

We couldn't have said it better!

On the same night some 1000 miles to the south, the Sigma Rho Associate Chapter at Elon College, North Carolina, became Pi Kappa Phi's Epsilon Alpha. The chartering marked the first time in the fraternity's history that two groups were presented charters on the same day.

Once again a new chapter is chartered in Michigan, with these charter members of Epsilon Beta at Grand Valley.

Cries of "We're Number One.", echoed throughout the Grand Valley State College campus at Allendale, Michigan, late this Spring. Was there a reason? You bet . . . the Epsilon

Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi became Grand Valley State's first fraternity.

Archon Rich Probst accepted the charter from Installing Officer

Phil Tappy (Lambda) National President, and Bill Finney (Gamma Kappa) served as Chartering Officer and Assistant, respectively. The Western Carolina (Gamma Epsilon) initiating team performed the Ritual for charter members: Allen Bass, Mike Brown, Chris Drozdowicz, David Graham, Paul Hirschmann, Jim Johnson, Keith Kirby, Art McKinney, Tim McPherson, Bruce Pinson, Randy Piner, David Randolph, John Reaves, Kendrick

Shriver, Barry Simmons, Mark Smith, Rick Steele, and Jim Stephenson.

A chartering banquet and dance to honor the new initiates were held at the Burlington, North Carolina, Hilton. Archon Jim Stephenson accepted the charter for Epsilon Alpha, grateful that the year of hard work as an associate chapter was concluded. Congratulations to our men at Elon!

Another Pi Kappa Phi success story was climaxed by the chartering of the Delta Omega Chapter at Texas A & M University, the state's oldest public institution for higher education. Although not formally recognized by University officials, the newly formed Greek system at A & M has expanded rapidly. Prior to 1973, the Aggie Corps of Cadets was the only "fraternity" on campus.

The new Pi Kapps,however,are now an important part of the more diversified appeal.

Jay Kruska (Gamma Upsilon), Chartering Officer, and Steve Miller (Beta Mu),Assistant, were in College Station to recognize the group during ceremonies April 14. Director of Membership Henry Groves and Field Staff representatives David Long and Robert Mitchell were also present. Initiating teams from McNeese University (Beta Mu) and University of Texas - Arlington (Delta Psi) inducted eighteen men: Gary Barmore, Wes Bownds,Vernon Burnett, Gary Collier, Mark Goulas, Rod Henson, Charlie James,Patrick Kasper, Ricky Kidd, Terry Kidd, Kevin Madole, Bill Maloy, Mark Munsell, Gregg Schnellbacher, Phil Tritico, Joe Thompson (Archon), and Ted Woods.

We welcome you to Pi Kappa Phi!

Brothers who have joined the Chapter Eternal Oh, death could be triumphant - death in battle, death in love, death in friendship and in peril, could be glorious if it were proud death, gaunt death, lean, lonely, tender, loving and heroic death, who bent to touch his chosen son with mercy, love, and pity, and put the seal of honor on him when he died!

Administratively, Zeta Zeta separates refrigerator proceeds from regular chapter funds. A "refrigerator committee",composed of two elected members from each class and chaired by a senior,has the final say on any use of refrigerator monies. Proposals are presented at regular brotherhood meetings for discussion and are then brought to the committee for approval. At Zeta Zeta, refrigerator funds are used mainly for major expenditure — renovations, emergency house spending, or long-term spending.

Could your chapter use more money? Would you like to decrease dues yet increase fraternity activities simultaneously? If your answer to these questions is "yes", and your chapter is willing to put in a few long, hard hours of work, then this bulletin is for you.

The key to major fund-raising is an ability to THINK BIG. Car washes, bake sales, slave auctions, and the like are all admirable undertakings; when you can stretch your imagination a bit further, however, you might enter a world of big bucks. Let's look at one Pi Kappa Phi chapter (we'll call it "Zeta Zeta") as our example ...

Zeta Zeta has been in the "refrigerator rental business" for eight years now. They lease dorm-size refrigerators from Collegiate Products, Inc. (Utica Tower, Suite 912, 21st and Utica, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74104) and then rent the units to university students. Financially, setting up a refrigerator rental program isn't much of a problem, because it takes very little initial investment. A chapter does not have to pay CPI until they have (the students') money in their hands. Thus, for the chapter,supply never exceeds demand, a great advantage for novice businessmen.

Both CPI and the chapter receive a fixed percentage of the profits; there is no minimum number of rentals required.

The rental contract is simple. The agreement provides for:(1)duration and rate ($40-75 per unit per academic year is not unreasonable, depending on the refrigerator size; stress the fact that roommates can split this cost. CPI will help any chapter to establish a proper rate.); (2) a refundable security deposit that covers possible damage to the unit; and (3) a place to sign.

As a part of their service, Zeta Zeta delivers refrigerators to several dropoff points by Ryder truck. Customers simply meet the truck within a certain time period and take over from there. Your chapter may wish to arrange for a central pick-up point or to-the-doorstep delivery, depending upon campus regulations, campus size, competition, and time constraints. University rules are important and must be studied . .. for example, door-to-door solicitations might be banned although other advertising (posters, etc.) could be allowed. Or, 2.0 cubic

v AS

foot units might be permissable, while 4.2 cubic foot refrigerators might not.(CPI leases both!) These matters are easily taken care of individually, with some planning.

Now, how much can this mean for a chapter? Because Zeta Zeta rented from CPI for so long, the refrigerators were depreciated off CPI's books and became available for sale.

Zeta Zeta bought the units and now earns over $14,000 per year. WOW! That's an awful nice Rose Ball, fellas! Of course, initially it is unlikely that one chapter could profit quite as much; a net margin in four figures, though, is certainly attainable. The pure dollar benefits are obvious, but other advantages are not as evident. Because Pi Kappa Phi posters, refrigerators, and

brothers are among the first things an incoming freshman notices when he arrives at school, recruitment is niiich facilitated. Additionally, the practice of operating a real business can prove to be valuable experience.

Finally, that old intangible, brotherhood, is heightened'simply due to the close interactions required.

Renting refrigerators is but one way to raise funds. It has worked well for one chapter, and that is why we suggest it here. Of course, there are innumerable other opportunities of which your chapter can take advantage. CPI can provide for sale or rent foosball tables, lockboxes, and other student needs. You can think of several money-makers yourself, we're sure. Don't rule out any possibility just because it hasn't been tried before . . . in fact, those areas are probably just the place to begin.

For more information, feel free to contact the Administrative Office or Collegiate Products, Inc., at the address given. We will be more than happy to help out!

Good scholarship is reward in itself Each chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is entitled to have one of its members recognized as its "top" scholar. This individual chapter recognition of scholastic excellence is acknowledged by the Student Lamp Award. This award is presented annually by Dr. Jeff Clark, the chairman of the National Education Committee.

THE SEVERELY HANDICAPPED NEED A PUSH

It stands for Play Units for the Severely Handicapped, a totally new design concept for teaching physically and mentally handicapped children.

These institutionalized children, who will never experience normal growth, may be blind, or deaf, or both. They may be unable to walk without assistance. They usually can't understand their environment or react to it. And they learn with agonizing slowness.

For these children, conventional playground equipment or toys can be self-destructive weapons. At best, they're merely frustrating and meaningless objects because the children don't have the physical capacity to use them.

Play is a fundamental part of our lives. It helps us to understand our world and respond to it.

Call it "recreation" and talk about "normal" people and we all recognize its value. But it's just as important ... perhaps more so ... for the severely handicapped. Because play is a way of learning, of stimulating senses, of developing minds and bodies, of nourishing imaginations.

That's why Pi Kappa Phi commissioned designer Tom Sayre to develop the first PUSH unit for use at Western Carolina Center, a state retardation center. It was the beginning of an effort to bring creative learning environments to institutionalized children throughout the country.
