25 years of leadership: PI KAPP COLLEGE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 1984 Under a gigantic, billowing white and

blue banner, they lay sprawled on car hoods and stirred asleep in the grass. From all around the U.S. Pi Kapps began to gather once again in Roanoke College's parking lot for the fraternity's bienniel leadership conference. However, the August 5-9, 1984 version was a little more special. This was the Silver Anniversary of Pi Kapp College. Activity began early as delegates were allowed the opportunity to meet the National Council members in attendance and audition for a model initiation. As always, fraternity sportswear was available, featuring a unique Pi Kapp College long-sleeve T-shirt which was, of course, silver. The delegates then gathered outside for the traditional group picture. Some perspired, some grumbled, but all smiled as Tim Ribar photographed the gathering. After the first of the week's excellent meals, Durward Owen addressed the approximately 350 initiates and associate member delegates in attendance. The Executive Director said Pi Kapp College is continuing the tradition of excellence started in 1959 in Sumter, South Carolina. John F. Kennedy was seeking the presidency when Pi Kapps first gathered at Burnt Gin to discuss leadership and brotherhood. Recognition of the Silver Anniversary was evident not only on printed programs, napkins and placemats; it proved to be audible and visual as well. Throughout the five day conference the uniqueness of the 25th anniversary became a reality for the delegates. Roanoke College and Xi Chapter alumnus Tim Ribar traversed his old stomping ground catching photographic glimpses of Pi Kapp College. His slides were processed overnight and incorporated into a slide show mixing the present college with the first gathering in 1959. Florida State's (Beta Eta) delegation added to the nostalgia with their vocal image of the 50's through song. The primary elements of the week's seminars were probably similar in the first and 25th Pi Kapp Colleges; those being

1984 version touched on several unique and controversial subjects. Dr. William Ewald, National VicePresident, started the delegates thinking early with an often spirited two hour discussion on the mental and physical abuse of women on our campuses and in our society. The conference also featured several seminars on alcohol abuse. Discussion

In the late 60's things were not good in the fraternity world. Things were not good anywhere in the world. The attitude of students was especially bad. All fraternities were facing the loss of chapters from the period 1965 to 1975. Overall there was approximately a 20% reduction in the number of chapters of fraternities on college and university campuses. The Vietnam War led to campus unrest, and therefore problems both physical and philosophical. Especially there was no trust in anything relating to the establishment. Fraternities were certainly part of the establishment. Executive Director Durward Owen developed two strategies at that time. In the face of other fraternities retrenching, reducing staff and expecting to lose chapters, he evaluated the fraternity's basic southern strength and determined that campus circumstances were not the same in the southeast as elsewhere. Expansion was to be the strategy for Pi Kappa Phi. The success of this is in evidence when one notes that the fraternity is now twice the size it was in 1965, both in number of chapters and in total number of initiated members.

of such subjects shows how Pi Kappa Phi remains on the leading edge in addressing today's issues. Other speakers included Eileen Stevens, whose son Chuck died in a hazing incident involving a local fraternity. The delegates remained silent as Mrs. Stevens recounted the event, then gave her a standing ovation at the close of her speech. Mickey Thigpen, P.U.S.H. Administrator, and creator Tom Sayre unveiled an inspiring slide presentation depicting the history of the project complete with disolves and music. This was followed by a

Leadership development in Pi Kappa Phi

*IIK4)

"It was during this period of time tat it appeared to me that students could not be as negative if they were more involved," Owen said. Therefore, Pi Kappa Phi developed the strategy of utilizing the concept of group dynamics, and experimental learning exercises as the vehicle for Pi Kapp College. In addition, Pi Kappa Phi commenced the use of group dynamics and experimental learning exercises as the basis for the expansion effort. Stan Gryskiewicz, a staff member at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, NC, had been an alumnus who wrote very negatively upon receiving his first Voluntary Dues request a few years earlier. Durward Owen said, "My strategy with negative responses to the Voluntary Dues was always to write that person and attempt to engage him in a dialogue." The dialogue worked out well, as Stan developed a Facilitator's Manual that became the Bible in leadership training and expansion for Pi Kappa Phi. Most other fraternities are now employing, to a greater or lesser degree, the same educational tools that Pi Kappa Phi uses. Pi Kappa Phi no longer has a monopoly on this, as it no longer has a monopoly on expansion. However, our fraternity went uphill while all others were going downhill for a ten year period. Durward Owen must have been doing something right as evidenced by the fact that Pi Kapp College has just completed its 25th year of existence.

"break-out" session on how to effectively raise money for P.U.S.H. This included input from this year's Silver Star and Bronze Star recipients. Ron Wilson brought his leadership and motivation road show to Pi Kapp College for the first time this year. Delegates procurred leadership techniques and found out what type of leader they were. Ron's foremost message,"Leaders are not born, they are made and you can be one of them!" P.U.S.H. and the bell were fused into a special ceremony as PICS director James McKelvey was initiated into our fraternity. The event incorporated use of the bell into the ritual, serving as a "howto" model initiation. The ceremony was dedicated to the memory of Steve Wrenn, Wofford College (Zeta) who had joined the Chapter Eternal. Brother Wrenn was 1982-83 Chapter Advisor of the Year, serving the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at Southern Tech. Lectures for the week were wrapped up as Assistant Executive Director Gary Leonard advised delegates on how to take Pi Kapp College back to their respective chapters and incorporate what they had learned. Pi Kapp College was much more than just lectures and meetings. There were as many informal and individual meetings between brothers from across the nation, be it at lunch, under a tree or at a local night spot. Florida State (Beta Eta) showed an excellent example of brotherhood after receiving a fraternity flag for outstanding participation. They passed it on to the Delta Sigma delegates from Bowling Green who had just been reorganized and were in need of a banner. Exhibitions of brotherhood like that one proved that the 25th anniversary of Pi Kapp College, like the first one on the coast of South Carolina, was much more than a collection of various license plates in a college parking lot. imic, Dan Lucy, Associate Editor Beta Epsilon

PI KAPPA PHI ISSUES

)

National Rose speaks on fraternity issue As part of this effort, I will be writing articles for the Star and Lamp so that I may have more contact with the undergraduates and alumni. This will give me an opportunity to address a number of current issues of concern to the members of Pi Kappa Phi. GROWING AWARENESS

National President David Jaffee presents the new National Rose Catherine Coleman to the Fraternity.

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the National Rose. My name is Catherine Coleman and I am from Gainesville, Florida, where I am a senior public relations major at the University of Florida. I am most honored to represent the fraternity of Pi Kappa Phi as the National Rose for 1984-85. During Pi Kapp College this summer I met with several National Council members to help establish an active role for the Rose. We discussed a number of ideas which we hope to implement in the near future.

At this time I would like to address one such issue. Many problems of sexual coercion and abuse of individuals have been widely noted on college campuses around the country. The effects of this issue on a student's personal, emotional and academic life warrants serious attention. It has been noted on many campuses that human beings are being subjected to attitudes and actions that are degrading and demoralizing. This may encompass many forms of sexual abuse, even something as common as demeaning or insulting language. However, the issue can be much more serious. Rape is recognized as an act of violence and aggression against a woman, and sometimes a man. Many misjudge the terror associated with rape and the impact on the victim. The legal implications are well known and it goes without saying this should in no way be tolerated in society. Although date/acquaintance rape has a lower rate of reporting, it is believed to have a much higher rate of occurrence. A

What students think. As with all potential National Council policy, student input is extremely vital to the development of appropriate and effective programs. Information concerning a policy statement on the issue discussed by Catherine was disseminated to the Council of Archons, Student Advisory Board and numerous interns. Below are a few of their responses:

"It would be beneficial to assign a student committee at Supreme Chapter to share their ideas on the subject and the efforts that may already be underway on their campuses to eliminate sexual har-

rassment. For example, my campus has a Rape and Assault Prevention Escort (R.A.P.E.) service available to escort women to their dorms at night." Councill Leake UNC-Chapel Hill "It is good to see Pi Kappa Phi taking a stand as to how it feels toward abuse, and I see this as one step toward reducing the problem. I recall some of the arguments that were made during Dr. Ewald's presentation at Pi Kapp College, especially that of enforcement. It is very hard, if not impossible, to control how people act toward others, especially when they are

Greenville S.C., new home for Delta On Tuesday, April 16, 1963, the headline of the Greenville News read, "First of Five Furman Fraternities Disbands." The on and off again status of the Delta Chapter of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina was off again. Twice before the chapter had been closed. Now, celebrating its 75th year the chapter can look back upon three men who have been re-founding fathers — W. H. Arnold, Earle Prevost and David Ullman. Brother W. H. Arnold is member no. 34 of Delta and helped the chapter restart in 1929. He wrote the petition that brought the chapter back. At that time they had a house on campus and Brother Arnold lived in the house even after he finished his work. The Fraternity would face its next threat to its existence during the depression. The chapter survived the depression, due in a large way to Brother Arnold. He stayed around and for many years would always be seen at rush time. During the early 30's Brother Arnold served the Fraternity as District Archon. Brother Prevost was a member in the late 50's. In 1954 the chapter had a low membership, but had started to build its

survey conducted by the University of Florida Counseling Center showed 10 percent of the respondants reported having been raped on a date and 19 percent reported having a friend who had been sexually assaulted on a date. These statistics are not only staggering, but frightening. The most common occurence of sexual abuse deals with behavior identified as sexual harrassment. This may range from insulting and inappropriate sexual remarks to sexual advances. It is encountered in many aspects of student life and should not have to be tolerated by any woman (or man).

strength up by 1961. Yet, in 1962 the chapter was closed. Since local fraternities were allowed, Brother Prevost wrote a ceremony of initiation and helped start the "Star and Lamp" fraternity that lasted two decades. In 1976 David Ullman joined the chapter. David is the man who played the key role in the most recent revival of Delta Chapter. The recent reinstitution of the chapter was held in Clinton, South Carolina with Beta Chapter of Presbyterian College initiating thirty-four members. David Ullman was the principal organizer of not only this event but of the alumni programs and the 75th anniversary celebration. He will now serve as Chapter Advisor. However, Delta still does not exist at Furman University. The Delta Chapter has been reinstated in Greenville but the charter will be held in escrow by alumni in Greenville. Our Fraternity is made up of its chapters, and the chapter consists of its members. In this chain it is the diligence and strength of men like Hap Arnold, Earle Prevost and David Ullman who continue the legacy of brotherhood to our future young men.

A PERSONAL STANCE The above mentioned incidents are only the beginning of a much larger picture. It is important to remember that women, as well as men, do not need to be direct victims of sexual assault to be affected by the problems of sexual coercion. Students should not have to alter their lives due to fear of becoming a potential victim. Freedom from fear for personal safety is essential to students' access to educational and social experiences. This issue is of special concern to me personally, as an incident of an alledged group sexual assault occurred in a fraternity on my campus in 1983. This brought a lot of negative publicity to my school and particularly to the fraternity system as a whole. As a firm believer in the Greek system and the many benefits and opportunities it has to offer, I am frightened that problems of this nature must prompt college administrators to consider expelling Greek systems from their campuses. Although the larger society cannot be changed where students' attitudes and values are formed, the fraternity does have a responsibility to its members to practice and foster high standards of ethical behavior. FRATERNITY ACTION For this reason, the issue was discussed at length at Pi Kapp College in a workshop conducted by National Vice-

on their own, away from Pi Kappa Phi. One thing our house has done is to make a house rule concerning ungentlemanly conduct so that if a complaint is made, we can take disciplinary action." Terry Henricksen Iowa State "The importance of such a resolution, to many, may not seem evident in the short run. But if one chapter adopts the education program that would follow such a resolution and that in turn circumvents one date-rape, rape, or perhaps a divorce in one brother's future, we will have accomplished our objectives." Scott Evans Michigan State

President Dr. Bill Ewald. The workshop was held in an attempt to bring the issue to light and to help develop a better understanding of its implications among the fraternity. The discussion proved very beneficial and many important points were raised. Pi Kappa Phi is also working toward the establishment of a national statement of position on this issue under the direction of Dr. Bill Ewald, Leah Hataway, Secretary to the Foundation and myself. This statement simply says that the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity "will not tolerate or condone behavior that is abusive to any person either physically, mentally or emotionally." EDUCATION IMPORTANT It is important to keep in perspective that Pi Kappa Phi realizes the majority of its members respect their fellow students and members of society and are not identified with the attitudes and actions discussed in this article. However, because these problems do exist on college campuses, it is important that all members be aware of, and fully understand these issues. For this reason, Pi Kappa Phi is developing an educational program for its members in order to raise consciousness about sex-role expectations and respect for others in interpersonal relationships. In so doing, it is hoped to generate a personal commitment by all, so that no individual may become victim or perpetrator of this type of abuse. SUMMARY These problems have a significant impact not only on you as members, but also in your present and future relationships. It is an issue to be approached open-mindedly and it is my hope that you treat it with the attention it deserves. In summary, what this issue addresses is simple respect for human dignity, decency and understanding. It is an issue that affects the basic human values and the personal responsibility for oneself and for others, as well as the fraternity system and society as a whole.

"A questionnaire would be helpful to examine the situation within the membership of Pi Kappa Phi. Some questions could be: — What does a girl mean when she says no? — Do you have trouble maintaining or developing a meaningful relationship? A questionnaire like this would allow each brother to examine his own situation and behavior in a non-threatening context." Jeff Wahlen Florida State

Preparing a resume is a necessary evil. is One never knows how much attention have doesn't hunter job if a but it, to paid one he may be considered unemployable. James S. Stump, Jr., an initiate of Xi Chapter at Roanoke College has prepared some vital information on the subject. Brother Stump is a founding partner of Helms, Stump & Associates of Charlotte, N.C., a rapidly growing management and executive search firm with client companies across the United States.

Human Resources for Package Products Corporation. He was also responsible for all facets of personnel management. Earlier, Jim was Director of Personnel for the second largest division of Ingersoll-Rand Company. He also handled key corporate training, development and recruiting responsibilities with Ingersoll-Rand. "The resume is an important aid in the job hunting campaign for a number of reasons," Stump says. First of all, a resume is the accepted vehicle for introduction and is actually a synopsis of all the important accomplishments in one's life. In fact, many interviewers may not be comfortable unless they have a resume that serves as a guide. It is also the brochure that markets a person. This makes inclusion of personal data, and especially achievements important. A resume is also a permanent reminder to the interviewer which can also be shared with others. It also provides an employment agency or executive search consultant with a document that can be sent to a prospective employer. Resumes are not only for other people. It organizes the interviewee's own objectives, and how one's experiences and accomplishments support one's goals. Once these thoughts have been organized, the job hunter can better express himself in an interview. The resume's layout or design is important. Brother Stump says,"Since your resume will function as a marketing vehicle, keep it simple, concise and honest." However, one shouldn't be too shy or too humble. Finding the middle ground is necessary in effective design. It shouldn't be

dull, weird, or too detailed. Save something for the face-to-face meeting. A resume should be limited to one page, never over two. When in its final form it should be reproduced in a professional manner. Standard resumes are 81/2" by 111/2" on bond stationary. White paper is the usual color used, however beige can be an attractive eye-catcher. Organization of the resume may determine whether it is read or not and there are certain categories of information which must be included. Almost all resumes begin with the applicant's name, address and phone numbers at which he can be reached. Next is usually the objective -- a functional statement about the position desired. Following these categories come a preview of the applicant's background and qualifications, work history and educational training. The order of these is relatively optional; whatever is most comfortable and suits one's purposes will work best. The applicant can also include personal data if it supports the objective, provides an interesting dimension or will be viewed positively. Quality time spent in the drafting and final preparation of an achievement oriented, well-structured resume will be a sound career investment. Finally, a second opinion on your final draft may expose any flaws or missing information in the presentation. This advice should come from someone who knows the applicant's background and abilities. While even the best resume won't get anyone a job, rest assured that a poor resume will remove a candidate from consideration.

PROJECT

l und.ps.d sa ag the pio il to.

From its original hesitant beginnings in 1975, P.U.S.H. (Playunits for the Severely Handicapped) has evolved a process of design which seeks to integrate all the various issues of adaptive environments. P.U.S.H. is a design collaborative including architects, product designers, educators, administrators, research-based social scientists, and on occasion handicapped individuals. P.U.S.H. has focused on establishing a vocabulary of designs and objects which seek to remediate the environmental squalor found in too many facilities for the retarded. Though P.U.S.H. has recently expanded into a full-blown architectural approach to redesigning settings ranging from public institutions to private community dwellings, its aim is still the design of an affordable, maintainable, replicable environment which is conducive to the well-being and growth of developmentally delayed individuals.

Morganton, North Carolina. It focused on a two-acre outdoor play area bounded by five residential cottages housing a population of severely and profoundly retarded children and adults. The current P.U.S.H. play units are the result of years of feedback, discussion, trial and error. The basic unit is a terrain composed of variable height boxes with plastic laminate on the sides and outdoor carpet or closed-cell foam on the tops. The boxes provide surfaces on which to sit, create a variety of spaces, and form housing for various electromechanical manipulations. The actual arrangement of the boxes will vary depending on budget, size of the room and need. A typical P.U.S.H. unit includes a pressure-activated stereo system, a water bed, pressure-sensitive vibration platform, a pressure-activated slide show, a voiceactuated light and a scented blower device.

P.U.S.H.: The Play Units The initial work of P.U.S.H. took place at the Western Carolina Center in

P.U.S.H: Research and Evaluation The P.U.S.H. project has been concerned from the outset with on-going

evaluation of the effectiveness of its efforts. It is not enough to speculate that the design process will inevitably fulfill its mandate and automatically meet its goals. The Board of Directors of P.U.S.H. are committed to support of research on such questions as: Does the presence of P.U.S.H. equipment reduce the incidence of such common institutional phenomena as self-stimulatory, self-injurious and aggressive behavior? Do P.U.S.H. units facilitate learning to the extent of measurable developmental improvements? P.U.S.H.: An Inexpensive Approach to Renovation. After six years of developing the components of the Units, P.U.S.H. began to extend its scope beyond the placement of a free-standing terrain in an otherwise untouched space. In late 1980 at the Murdoch Center in Butner, North Carolina, P.U.S.H. units began to be used not just as a manipulable stimulation topography, but as space definer, storage, traffic circulation control, and the focal point for an entire renovation system. P.U.S.H. began to function as architecture itself. The solutions to the problems of non-structural renovation seem to lie in a

synthesis of the following assumptions: 1. All alterations to the environment be low in cost. 2. All alterations be durable and able to withstand the extreme behaviors likely to occur in the space. 3. All alterations be flexible to the needs of the population. 4. All alterations reflect concerns and needs expressed by staff to designers. 5. The alterations combine to form a pleasing' whole which significantly improves the quality of life for both staff and residents. Addressing these issues, P.U.S.H. now works closely with Clearscapes, Inc., a design firm, to make available plans for low-cost renovation of entire areas. Included are colorful sound baffling panels, a modular system of counter-walls which divide space and provide storage, housing for T.V.'s and stereos, and the range of P.U.S.H. interactive electro-mechanical devices. This approach certainly does not solve all the problems inherent in most poorly designed buildings, but it does make for affordable improvements without the inflexibility of more concrete block walls. NEXT ISSUE: P.U.S.H. Individualized Care Services (P.I.C.S.)

AFTER: The unit was designed and built for this area.

BEFORE: A play area of handicapped children before a P.U.S.H. unit is installed.

P.U.S.H.-A source of Pi Kapp pride. P.U.S.H.: A Source of Pi Kapp Pride P.U.S.H. owes much to the members of Pi Kappa Phi — this year alone, they contributed more than $104,000 to this project. This money will be used to donate the units to mental retardation facilities across the nation. In addition to the assistance which P.U.S.H. has provided to mentally retarded people, it has also been of substantial benefit to the Fraternity itself. Following is a selection of comments made by brothers of Pi Kappa Phi over the years:

"We hope that this contribution ($8,062) along with other chapters across the nation will make this the best year ever for P.U.S.H. The opportunity that Pi Kappa Phi gives each individual, working as a team, to provide service to those that are less fortunate is unprecedented in any other organization. . . our street collectors increased three-fold over last year and the general public's recognition of a viable philanthropy exhibits its widespread acclaim." —Craig Morrison University of Florida

"In addition to raising nearly a thousand dollars from our events (100% of our profits went to P.U.S.H.), it makes us realize just what we can accomplish as a brotherhood. . . I can't describe to you just how good it felt to hear members of the community comment, 'You guys are doing a fantastic job." —Bob Wambach Rensselaer

National Rose Queen Pi Kappa Phi's National Rose Queen is Catherine Hill Coleman of Gainesville, Florida. She is a 21-year-old senior at the University of Florida majoring in public relations with a minor in business. Catherine is incredibly active on the Florida campus, being involved in Florida Blue Key, the Panhellenic Council and Comprehensive University Leadership Program. The Alpha Epsilon nominee is a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority and in 1983 won the Tri-Delt Most Active Sister and Most Active Fraternity Little Sister Award. Following graduation, Catherine intends to earn a Master's Degree in Hospital Administration and then work in the administration of a private hospital or a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Catherine described the Rose Queen's role, "National Rose is an honor bestowed on a lady who exhibits the highest ideals of womanhood. She is an outward example of the ideals and beliefs held by the fraternity." Pi Kappa Phi's National Rose has prepared an article for the Star and Lamp (see page 2) regarding the treatment of women in today's society. Truly, Catherine is a conscientious, outstanding young woman who will represent Pi Kappa Phi well.

Men of the Year

Art Quickenton, Chapter Advisor of the Year.

Nestled in the snowcapped mountains of North Carolina, near three ski resorts, rests Appalachian State University, home of Delta Zeta Chapter.

1st Runner-up

2nd Runner-up

3rd Runner-up

This year's first runner-up is Lisa Carol Greene from the University of Georgia. Lisa is a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Lambda Chapter's nominee is a junior majoring in public relations. Lisa's future plans include obtaining a public relations internship with a corporation or other organization. She will then finish her A.B.J. (Bachelor of Arts in Journalism) and obtain employment in her field.

Deborah Sue Rickles is our second runner-up. The Auburn University senior majored in public relations-speech communications and is currently Miss Auburn University for 1984. Deborah graduated in June and is now working on her graduate degree in Administrative Science, majoring in Human Resources and Management.

Gamma Upsilon at Oklahoma State University gives us our third runner-up, Susan Jane Wootten Perdue. Susan has recently received her BS in physiology from Oklahoma State and is now working on the Physician's Associate Degree at Oklahoma University. Susan is a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority and recently married Pi Kapp's Student of the Year, Philip Perdue.

This chapter, in the last three years, has climbed to the top of Pi Kappa Phi chapters all around the country. An inherent reason for any chapter's success is the dedication, energy and enthusiasm of its Chapter Advisor. Delta Zeta Chapter at Appalachian State University has such a Chapter Advisor. The 1984 Chapter Advisor of the Year is Dr. Arthur John Quickenton, an alumnus initiate of the chapter he advises. Delta Zeta under his leadership grew to be the largest chapter on the campus. Brother Quickenton has been teaching at Appalachian for six years. He joined the staff as an assistant professor then gained his associate professorship and has been chosen to coordinate advising for the College of Education. Art has served his fraternity well. At the local level he has given his time and made a home for the students. While the chapter searched for a house, they lived

in and used his house for three years. Art is always available to visit his and other chapters; whether in his capacity as Area Councillor or by direction of the Administrative Office. He is frequently present at national and regional meetings, and has helped to rewrite the Chapter Advisor Manual. Art feels that the relationships that he has developed with his students, alumni and staff have been the highlight of his experience. He feels that being part of the brotherhood of our Fraternity is something everyone should experience. The runnerup for the Chapter Advisor of the Year was Jim Beal of Gamma Omega Chapter at Montevallo.

Governor of the Year representing Area I. Area I is bordered by the Atlantic, Canada and the Great Lakes, and consists of states from Maryland through New York and into Maine. Brother Bohner does not believe that he deserves this award. He says, "So many have given more than I." Since his appointment in 1982, Brother Bohner has been very successful. He has the uncommon ability of choosing good men to serve as Area Councillors and getting these men to work. He has traveled extensively and visited many chapters. He has planned, organized and run a very successful conclave. Expansion, however, may be his best contribution. He helped with the colonization o the chartering of St. Joseph's, LaSalle, Duquesne and Slippery Rock. Brother Bohner, a graduate of Omega Chapter at Purdue, is followed in the award by Ron deValinger of Area III.

Cartha D. (Deke) DeLoach, after a successful career has just been elected to the County Council in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Success lends Prestige to the Fraternity "During my career as Assistant to the Director of the FBI, three cases remain uppermost in my mind," says Pi Kapp Cartha D.(Deke) DeLoach,"the Yoblanski Murders, the Martin Luther King assassination, and the Barbara Mackie case." Perhaps Brother DeLoach's greatest satisfaction while supervising those three cases, and many others, was the Barbara Mackie case. "A lovely Emory University junior was buried alive. We had only a short time left to find her before she would run out of air. There was a joyous celebration when the Agents found her alive!" Brother Deke DeLoach's career has been a long and honorable one. His journey started July 20, 1920 upon his birth in Claxton, Georgia. He attended college first at Gordon Military College, then South Georgia College before enrolling at Stetson University as a junior on a varsity football scholarship. His professional career included the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Navy and PepsiCo, Inc. Brother DeLoach's success has added much prestige and honor to our fraternity. His success began at awesome Chi Chapter in DeLand, Florida. Chi has been molding leaders for many years. In the late 30's and early 40's the chapter had among its membership with Brother DeLoach, Foundation Trustee Brother Jim "Elmer Blurt" Golden (see Star and Lamp,winter 1984, page 6). Chi Chapter was the power on campus. With its large membership, most of the varsity athletes, and many of the top student body officers, they continued to claim the prize as best fraternity. They always won the Athletic Crown, a tradition that is carried on today as Chi Chapter celebrates its 7th Presidents Cup (intramural championship) in nine years. "One of my best memories at Stetson," says Brother DeLoach with a smile, "is all the rough, tough, football players winning the interfraternity sing. 01 Jim Golden would do a solo on Pi Kappa Phi Girl, and we would walk away with the prize." Deke and Jim's association carried to another field. "Our football scholarships

stipulated that we wait on tables in the school cafeteria. I loved it because we got to eat all the good food." Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity taught Brother DeLoach a very important lesson: How to get along with people in close association. Brother DeLoach served as Treasurer and was given the high honor of Archon but was never able to serve. He had an important decision to make. The Second World War was in full swing and Brother DeLoach had a choice of joining the Navy or serving with the FBI. In 1942 he chose the FBI, but only for a short time, as he later found himself in the Navy. "I had the most undistinguished career of anybody in the Navy," quips Brother DeLoach, "They knew I had been in law school, they knew my FBI background, and my gridiron experience, so for two years my enemy wore a football uniform." He reunited with the FBI in April 1946. It took a long time for our Pi Kapp to climb the ladder to become the Number Two man under J. Edgar Hoover. Says Brother DeLoach, "I started in the basement and went from Norfolk, Virginia to Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, then to Washington. There followed many hectic years of traveling as an FBI inspector, mostly handling major cases and inspecting FBI field offices. During the turbulent 1960's, Brother DeLoach was Assistant to the Director of the FBI, supervising all investigative operations and public relations. Public relations was not an easy task with volatile youth of that era, yet Brother DeLoach feels the difference between students of the 60's and today is the way they seriously look at life. "Some of the 60's students had good intentions," says Brother DeLoach, "but today's students practice their democracy in a different way. Today's student is much more serious about all aspects of life, especially about making a living." His distinguished career in the Bureau included many personal commendations for supervision of the FBI's toughest cases. He was awarded the President's Medal of St. John's College, Washington, D.C., and the George Washington Honor Medal given by the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge in 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1972. The FBI gave Brother DeLoach a great start for the business world. "I learned how to disseminate facts, work with people, draw conclusions and get to the center of things." Brother DeLoach retired from the FBI in 1970, and entered private industry. Have you ever wondered why Taco Bell and Pizza Hut serve Pepsi-Cola? It's because these two chains, along with Frito-Lay, Wilson Sporting Goods and PepsiCo Wines and Spirits are all part of PepsiCo, Inc. Deke DeLoach was for almost 15 years Vice President for Corporate Affairs, and assisted in running these companies. While with PepsiCo he was offered the directorship of the FBI after the Hoover era. However, raising and educating his children represented a higher priority. The DeLoach family could have an agency in itself. He and his wife have

AWMNI BRIEFS HOLLIS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF PUBLIX, INC. From Chi Chapter at Stetson University, hails Mark C. Hollis, the newly elected President of Publix Super Markets, Inc. Publix is a 2.8 billion dollar chain, which is the largest in Florida. Brother Mark, a former Vice-President of Public Affairs and Public Relations, was born and raised in Florida where he has worked for Publix since his early teens. Mark has a Bachelor's Degree from Stetson University (1956) and a Master's Degree from Michigan State

University (1957) in Food Distribution. Mark began his career with Publix as a bag boy at the age of 12. He worked in all areas of the company, including stock clerk, produce manager, store manager, Director of Personnel, and Director of Warehousing and Distribution. His most recent position involved the Public Affairs phase of this Florida based supermarket chain. In May 1974 he was elected to the Board of Directors of Publix and serves on the Corporate Executive Committee. He serves on the Board of Trustees of Lakeland Regional Medical Center, and is

ALUMNI raised and educated seven children. The family consists of four boys and three girls. "It's tough to raise a family of that size," Brother DeLoach says. "You try and sometimes do not know how you've done it till later. We are a close family." One of Brother DeLoach's sons, Deke, Jr., is a Pi Kapp. Three of the four sons are lawyers. Deke hopes the last one, Mark, does not become a lawyer because at family gatherings, "I already have trouble getting a word in edgewise," he says. Deke, Jr. was very active at Beta Tau Chapter in Valdosta, Georgia and helped them remodel their house. He now is an attorney for the National Labor Relations Board in Tampa, Florida. Brother DeLoach's youngest son is at Stetson University. He has not become a Pi Kapp and may not. "I would be pleased if he did, but I will not put any pressure on him to do other than what he wants," he says. Brother DeLoach will fully retire from his business in January of 1985 but will continue to do the things he loves. He is interested in and has invested in several small companies and dabbles in politics. He is on the Board of Directors for Piggly Wiggly, a food store chain, the Northern Virginia Savings and Loan Association, AMDISCO, Inc., and the Claxton Bank. He is past President of the Hundred Club of Westchester, New York, and a member of the Knights of Malta.

One of Brother DeLoach's major interests is the. J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, a foundation to support law enforcement. As a member of the Foundation and now Chairman and President, he tries to direct the Foundation's assets toward the late J. Edgar Hoover's interests. The Foundation helps support the National District Attorney's College in Arizona, the Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge where the J. Edgar Hoover Library is located, and the Boys Club and Boy Scouts of America, as well as giving college scholarships to deserving young men and women. Brother DeLoach is now residing at Hilton Head Island, S.C. enjoying the sand and the surf on his three acres of land bordered by 18 acres of marsh. This small wildlife preserve suits his interest in nature and allows him the chance to "bird watch." "One of my biggest kicks," chuckles Brother DeLoach, "is riding my tractor around while mowing the grass." Brother DeLoach hopes to help Pi Kapps develop a new alumni awareness. He believes that more local groups of alumni should get together and discuss items of interest to them. He has offered to travel to such meetings to speak on topics of interest. From his beginnings in Chi Chapter, through his success in both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and PepsiCo, Brother Deke DeLoach has added prestige and honor to Pi Kappa Phi.

Brother Peke DeLoach, his son, Deke, Jr., and J. Edgar Hoover.

also a Trustee of Stetson University. He is a director of the Associated Industries of Florida and the Retail Federation. Mark's public service has embraced such cornmunity activities as the Chamber of Commerce, United Way and the Council for Economic Education. He has expanded his interests to state and national affairs through various business associations and committees. Hollis presently represents the food industry on the Public Affairs Committee and the Public Information Committee of the Food Marketing Institute. Mark has been a Rotarian since 1960 and has served as President of the Lakeland Rotary Club, Governor of the Central Florida District and has served on several international committees. Hollis is an active Baptist layman and a 33 degree Scottish Rite Mason. He and his wife, Lynn, are the parents of three sons and two grandsons.

Jeff Johns, left, a Pi Kapp from Sanform University, Alpha Eta Chapter, helps guard the President.

'YOU REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ANYTHING SPECIAL' By Mary L. VVimberley

During Jeff Johns' first 12 years as a Special Agent with the Secret Service, he traveled all over the world protecting three U.S. Presidents. He also spent the better part of a year at a Washington, D.C., elementary school watching over one of the nation's better-known pre-teens. "I graduated the fifth grade again," Johns recalled laughingly, referring to the year he headed the Secret Service detail

Dink Nesmith

"I joined Pi Kappa Phi for three reasons," says W.H. (Dink) Nesmith, Jr.; "Joe Thompson, Earl Colvin, and Curtis Harper." Every young boy has his heroes and Dink Nesmith's were those three men. They were all Pi Kapps from Lambda Chapter at the University of Georgia. "I respected them," says Brother Nesmith, "They were all gentlemen, and as I grew old enough to understand fraternity, they made the first pitch." "In my mind," continues Brother Nesmith, "if Pi Kappa Phi was good enough for them, it would be good enough for me — and it was!" Pi Kappa Phi has not been the only good thing in Brother Nesmith's life. His career in the communications industry began at a very early age. As the golden rays of the sun waned in Jesup, Georgia, Dink Nesmith would be hawking his Jesup Sentinel, which he bought for five cents and sold for ten cents. While his mark-up has come down, his ability to mark up successes has gone up. After graduating from Georgia in 1970, and after a short time in the U.S. Army, he accepted a position as Advertising Di-

at Amy Carter's school. Johns spent five years (1976-81) on the Presidential Protective Detail,covering Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. His service began at the end of Ford's term, during the 1976 campaign, and ended during the early part of Reagan's term. "I left the detail on March 31, 1981, two weeks before the shooting (of President Reagan)occurred," said Johns, whose office in the U.S. Treasury Department building is located two blocks from the White House. Since 1981, he has been assigned to the Intelligence Division of the Secret Service, rector of the Wayne County Press. Over the next ten years, Brother Dink acquired, traded, or joined a number of different companies, gaining controlling interest. He then bought interests in other companies, and eventually combined the Jesup Sentinel and the Wayne County Press under single ownership. In a stock trade, he gained interest in a TV and radio station. Now in his mid-thirties Brother Dink is President of his own media company, which publishes seven newspapers and three shopping guides in his three webprinting plants. He also owns a public relations agency, programs a cable TV station and owns an FM station. He is a member of the Georgia Press Educational Foundation and the Georgia Press Association. He served the latter as President in 1981. Brother Dink is not the only Nesmith who does well in publishing. Mrs.Nesmith, the former Pam Shirah of Camilla is employed as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Company and co-ordinates the educational format. Twice she has served the Georgia Press Association as the statewide Education Chairman, and received the President's Award for her work. Brother Nesmith received much of his training while in college. In Pi Kappa Phi he served as Rush Chairman and Archon in 1969. He was also Vice-President of the IFC, the 1970 All Greek Man-of-the-Year, a member of a Freshman Honor Society and President of the Senior Honorary Blue Key. "I try to give the chapter what I can," says Brother Nesmith, "the work that Tom Dalton (Chapter Advisor) does with the chapter is a source of inspiration to us all." He goes on to say "fraternity is a great memory for me, it has to be for anyone." We hope that one day one of his webpresses will roll off a collection of his fraternal memories.

where he is responsible for assigning agents to every presidential and vice presidential trip. In addition to providing security for the nation's top two leaders, the Intelligence Division investigates all threats made on the president's life. "Threats come in every day," says Johns,"many that the public is not aware of. Regardless of what it is, we have to run it out. We are constantly interviewing people to see if there is anything to the threats. They usually involve someone who is mentally unstable." While covering former President Carter, Johns traveled to Poland, India, Belgium, Paris, London and Korea. On such trips, he would typically work out of an office in the American Embassy. One of his first major assignments under the Carter administration was to set up security at the school in which Amy Carter enrolled. A year and a half later, he was named detail head at Amy's second school. He and other agents shared shifts protecting her inside and outside the school, which designated a special room for Secret Service personnel. "We were with Amy all the time," said Johns, the father of three, who sometimes

Curran E. Wade.

When Brother Curran E. Wade presents you with his calling card, there may be just a moment of confusion. You see, Brother Wade carries two cards. He carries one for his business and another for his "other" occupation. Brother Wade is the President of the Curran Wade Advertising Agency,Inc. and he also holds the title of Mayor of Village of Gouverneur in New York. Brother Wade often feels he is running two jobs of marathon proportion. He seems to be racing between the two, but he handles them in stride. While a member of the "Omicron Club"

found himself at little girls' spend-thenight parties and going on trips to shopping malls. "She adjusted really well to the security measures," he said of Amy."I think she thought a lot of us. It was a novelty for the rest of the kids at the school. They thought it was all pretty neat." The Samford graduate joined the Secret Service, a division of the U.S. Treasury Department, in 1972. "Less than a month after graduation, I was on duty," recalls Johns, who followed in his father's footsteps in choosing the Secret Service as a career. His dad, Lem Johns, a 1950 Samford graduate, retired in 1976 as Special Agent in charge of the Birmingham office. He later served in Washington as Chief Administrative Officer for the Office of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. During the 1960s, Lem was assigned to Washington, where he was in charge of presidential protection for Lyndon Johnson. Jeff Johns' first assignment was in the Charlotte, N.C., field office, where he was detailed to the criminal division which enforces federal statutes on counterfeit money and check forgery. He has been happy with his career choice."The Secret Service has been good to us," said Jeff, who is married to the former Anne Tanner ('72). They are parents of Michael, eight; Jill, six; and Brent, three. Jeff, who majored in business management at Samford, says no particular type of degree is required for the job. "The job description is so unique that it essentially involves on-the-job training and experience. Some of the agents were physical education majors. We have agents who are former pro football players,lawyers and CPAs. "An agent has to be someone who is flexible, and can handle travel," he allows. "You see things, places and people you ordinarily would never see. But, those things become routine and commonplace. "You really don't feel like you're anything special." Reprinted with permission of the editors of SEASONS magazine, Samford University, Summer 1984.

of Alabama, Brother Wade became accustomed to working more than one job. "I had to work through school and I sometimes worked at four jobs at once." Brother Curran's public service is important to him."Besides my company and the office of mayor," says Curran,"I stay active as President of the County Mayor's Association, and the Gouverneur Industrial Development Corporation." He is also a member of several other service organizations, which he chose not to list. Brother Wade graduated from the University of Alabama in 1958, with a BA degree in Radio and Television. His major interest now, besides racing through his long-distance lifestyle, is running. The finish line of the Canadian Marathon found Curran Wade crossing only three hours and fifteen minutes after he started. He also won two silver medals in the 200 and 400-meter sprints in the New York Empire games. Other awards to his credit include several National Advertising Awards, and a special award which included a trip to the Caribbean. Brother Wade also takes time out to enjoy his family. He and his wife, Dorothy, have four girls who keep them both racing. Whether he is running his business,running in a race, or running for public office, Brother Wade has been successful in doing it all.

"It was the way I felt when I walked in the door," says Michigan State undergraduate Aaron Scott Classens. Brother Aaron holds the distinction of being Pi Kappa Phi's 45,000th initiate. It only took a short two years to move from 40,000 men to the new high mark. Brother Aaron is part of the reorganization effort that took place a year and a half ago in Alpha Theta at Michigan State. The chapter now stands at sixty men. "We have come a long way in just over a year," says Aaron. "We have developed some great programs, including a pumpkin sale for Project P.U.S.H." Brother Aaron feels that the chapter has learned a lot and with an addition of a great fall associate member class the future is bright. To Aaron the Fraternity is a second home where friends become true brothers. "You know," says Aaron,"that feeling I felt when I walked in the door is the same."

"In the past four weeks I have graduated from college, gotten married and have begun building two houses," states Pi Kappa Phi's Student of the Year, Philip Perdue. What he doesn't mention is that he graduated in three years with a B.S. in physiology and a 3.95 GPA, married the third runner-up for National Rose Queen and will sell one house and live in the other. The list of collegiate accomplishments seems almost endless for this Oklahoma State graduate. This year alone, Philip was selected as one of the top five senior men at Oklahoma State University, one of the top ten seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity while serving his chapter as Secretary. He had also served

as Vice President and Historian of Gamma Upsilon. Phil also holds memberships in Phi Kappa Phi National Honorary, Omicron Delta Kappa, Golden Key Honor Society and Phi Eta Sigma Freshman Honor Society. On campus Philip was a member of the President's Leadership Council and OSU Ambassadors which hosts and serves as tour guide for campus visitors. Philip not only excelled in the classroom, but in front of the class as well. He spent three semesters as a teaching assistant in the OSU Zoology Department, preparing labs and teaching a sophomore course. Zoology Department Head, Jerry Wilhm said, "Philip received excellent ratings by the students and the supervising teachers. He is an outstanding student and has made significant contributions to our department." Pi Kappa Phi's premier student has also been visible in his service to the community. He was a Big Brother/Big Sister volunteer and was a member of the organization's steering committee. Philip also acted as a big brother to a five-year old boy whose father lived out-of-state. About this experience, he said, "I will never forget the experiences that we had, or the lesson I learned with Bob. I just hope that I was able to make an impact on his life as much as he did on mine." Philip was also an emergency room volunteer and a blood donor. "It is very gratifying to serve other people," Philip

Philip says, "I have done my best to organize and improve them (the offices) with hopes that I left that office in better shape than when I took it." He was also a member of the Scholarship Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Member Education Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, Rush Committee and participated in intramural football, bowling and softball. Chapter Advisor Larry •Hynson, Jr. commented,"He is held in the highest regard by his brothers of Gamma Upsilon." Philip also remained active in his home church and one at Oklahoma State. He makes it clear that Christ is the center of his life and he wants to serve him by serving others." Active in his chapter, his community, on campus and in his church while compiling a superior academic record on his way to medical school, is he through yet? "I hope that my activities and contributions to my fraternity, college and community won't end here," he says."I plan to stay active in Pi Kappa Phi as both a graduate student and an alumnus. I believe in the school. I also believe in Pi Kappa Phi. I hope that I can continue to help these two institutions grow stronger and stronger through the years." It takes men such as Philip Perdue to accomplish such feats. All this is why he is Pi Kappa Phi's Student of the Year. dent of the Omicron Club,James T.White, '58). Terrell is the 1984-85 President of the College of Engineering and also serves as the U/A Board of Trustees Student Representative. His track record at the University boasts such activities as: member of U/A golf team, two-term SGA senator, and co-chairman of the Mayor's Advisory Council. Besides performing leadership roles in both athletics and politics, Terrell also maintains respectable grades. He was a member of both Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honoraries.

Jacobs recommented on his new role, "We must make maximum use of our assets to establish name identification in our area. Of course, we can establish this through alumni organizations, recolonization and expansion. These four priorities are the key to quality in the Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma area."

A message from Julius By Julius E. Burges The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation Chairman of the Board At the close of the 22nd Supreme Chapter meeting, the following message was read by National President Howard Leake: "We, the following alumni of Pi Kappa Phi realizing that our obligation to our Fraternity does not cease upon graduation but should continue forever, and wanting to have a part in the establishment of the Devereax D. Rice Fund, do each promise to pay into the Fund semi-annually the sum of $100 for a period of the next five years, making a total of $1,000. That, gentlemen, is something." The year was 1948, and even then the alumni of Pi Kappa Phi saw the need for a healthy endowment. The need has not changed in 1984. The endowment gift is an extremely desirable and rewarding gift opportunity. An endowment fund, like that of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, is created for a specific purpose and is established in perpetuity with only the income that is generated being used. It gives the organization a natural capacity, or ability to fund many programs. The gifts received from alumni offer the donor the satisfaction of knowing that his money will continue working for generations to come. It also presents the opportunity to memorialize one's own affection for Pi Kappa Phi or to honor an alumnus who has made a significant contribution to your life. As of this writing, the Foundation has received many gifts in memory of such beloved Pi Kapps as Steve Wrenn,

Alumni Scholarships Each year, the PiKappa Phi Foundation awards two AlumniScholarships to deserving children ofalumni members of the Fraternity. These $500 scholarships are for the purpose of continuing and many times beginning a college education.

Clinton Boyd Wiltse is a freshman student at Michigan State University in Lansing, Michigan. His father, Boyd R. Wiltse, is an initiate of Beta Xi Chapter, now inactive at Central Michigan. Clinton also received an Academic Excellence Award from Michigan State for his 3.97 grade average in high school. He is preparing for a profession in the environmental sciences.

Hector Emilio Negroni is attending the University of Pennsylvania this fall and is enrolled in the pre-law curriculum. His major will be in business. Hector received two scholarships from the Officers' Wives Club at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, DC, where his parents reside. His father is Hector Andres Negroni of the Alpha Upsilon Chapter at Drexel.

THE PI KAPPA PHI FOUNDATION) Grant Palsgrove, Ben Covington, Thomas Wolfe, Hain Huey,etc. Pi Kapp College is an example of an educational program endowed by the Foundation. It has been a source of pride and leadership training for over 4,200 young Pi Kapp leaders. Though the Foundation sponsors the school, the Fraternity still bears the burden of 70% of the cost of operating a successful leadership program. This is due greatly to the reduced endowment potential of the Foundation. In comparison to like national fraternity foundations, the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation's assets are small and uncompetitive. Its assets are approaching $300,000 representing a Fraternity with more than 100 chapters. Delta Tau Delta Fraternity has 116 chapters, and its Foundation's assets are over a million dollars! And with 90 chapters, Delta Upsilon Fraternity has an endowment of a half-of-a-million dollars! Zeta Psi has 27 chapters and an endowed Foundation of $2 million! Their substantially larger endowments enable them to provide the full funding and improve upon the educational and leadership opportnities offered by their chosen fraternity, opportunities such as Pi Kapp College. Finding new sources of income is one of the greatest challenges facing any nonprofit organization today. It is to the alumni of Pi Kappa Phi that we must appeal for help to fill the need for a healthy endowment. The Foundation accepts gifts of stock, cash, deferred gifts, bequests, memorials and matching gifts. Oftentimes, the gift of service greatly enhances the endowment potential of the Foundation. If you are interested in furthering the endowment of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation and would like to receive more information on your way of giving to the Foundation, please contact the Secretary to the Foundation.

Founder Scholarships The Foundation received 28 applications this year for the Founders'Scholarship worth $1,000. Two full scholarships were awarded to Jeff Wahlen and Ken Cribbs. Because of the intense academic excellence of the applicants, the third scholarship was divided five ways bringing the number of recipients of the Founders' Scholarship to seven. The Foundation is only able to award the equivalent amount to three Founders'Scholarships.

John Jeffrey Wahlen, a sophomore transfer student from the Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Florida, has worked diligently with alumni, friends, and officials since 1982 to reactivate the Beta Eta Chapter at Florida State. The chapter has now grown to be 35 men strong, and Jeff is now a senior studying accounting at Florida State. Jeff was second runner-up to the Student of the Year Award. He has a 3.8 grade average, is a member of Florida Gold Key, a recipient of the Florida Academic Scholars Scholarship, and has facilitated three sessions on "singing" at the 1984 Pi Kapp College Leadership Conference. Jeff is a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society (S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A.) with several other brothers of Beta Eta.

Michael J. Gazarik is a junior from Tarentum, PA, attending the University of Pittsburgh, Delta Upsilon Chapter. Michael is studying electrical engineering and has an accumulative grade point average of 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. He is a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Lambda Sigma honorary fraternities, Pitt Hosts, and the intramural basketball team. Michael also received a Gannett Newspaper Scholarship and a Pledge Scholar Award from his Pi Kappa Phi Chapter.

A senior in mechanical engineering at Oklahoma State, Scott A. Moses is a chapter brother to this year's Student of the Year. Scott has maintained a 4.0 grade point average while serving his chapter as Treasurer and Scholarship Committee Chairman. He has been on the President's List of Distinguished Students for four consecutive semesters, is a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Alpha Lambda Delta Freshman Honoraries. Scott has volunteered his time and energy to Greek Week activities, Student Union activities, College of Engineering activities and the College Republicans.

A Record... More scholarships have been given in 1984 by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation than in any other year. Twenty-one undergraduate members received financial assistance totalling $8,750! The Scholarship Chairman, Packy Jervey, received an increased number of applications from the previous year. This is not only indicative of the great need for financial assistance by the Fraternity's undergraduates, but also shows the need for continued alumni support of this program. The following men received scholarships to continue their academic excellence: Alan W. Bagley East Tennessee State John Blinne Kansas State Rese Farrish UNC-Charlotte Paul Green University of Florida Gregg Tarquinio Belmont Abbey Seth Wolins Purdue The Alumni Association of Omega Chapter at Purdue University becomes the third such alumni group to establish a Chapter Scholarship Fund. The Omega Alumni voted at their Homecoming weekend to expend the full $5000 to establish a fund. The Fund program was created in 1982 as a much needed mechanism for alumni to give tax deductible contributions directly to their chapter. The fund income is disbursed each year to the alumni groups to award scholarships and assist in educational expenses of the chapter. Alpha Epsilon of the University of Florida and Epsilon Lambda of the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg were the first chapters to establish chapter scholarship funds. For more information on this program, contact the Secretary to the Foundation.

A senior at Georgia State University, Kenneth J. Cribbs, has served his chapter of Beta Kappa as Vice-Archon, Secretary, Chaplain, P.U.S.H. Chairman, IFC Representative, to name a few. In addition, Ken excelled in his academic work with honors for Scholastic Merit, Golden Key, Honor Society's Outstanding Junior, Dean's Scholarship Key, Phi Eta Sigma, President's Plaque and Alpha Lambda Delta, among others. Ken is service oriented,having represented the Student Government Association at his university on issues for the disabled.

A SAFE INVESTMENT WITH A GOOD DIVIDEND Do you have a will? If so, when is the last time you reviewed and updated it? A will is a person's lasting legacy. It insures that your plans and hopes for the future will be fulfilled. It specifies how you want your estate to be settled and who is to do it. It saves your family taxes, relieves their burdens and provides for their security. Death is inevitable and it does not discriminate. It is sad enough for loved ones without complicating it further by not having a will. Unfortunately, too many people put off drafting or updating a will. What could be more important? The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation can make it easier for you to give proper attention to your will. As a service to alumni,the Foundation has published a sill page brochure that tells you, in simple, easy language, why you need a will, what information you will need to draft one, how to review and update your will so it will keep current, and if you like, how you can further the educational and leadership programs of your Fraternity. The brochure is free of charge and obligates you in no way. The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation "Brothers helping Brothers."

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor: I just finished reading the Summer 1984 issue of The Star and Lamp.A close friend of mine, who was never in a fraternity, picked it up and started to read. He asked several questions about the publication, the fraternity (in general), and Project P.U.S.H. I explained, (probably boasting) that we have a very special fraternity, and of my wonderful experiences with the fraternity since my initiation on April 11, 1972. He was very impressed with The Star and Lamp, Pi Kapp College, our growth through the years, and, especially Project P.U.S.H.! I'm proud to be a Pi Kappa Phi member and enjoyed the chance to boast about the fraternity once again. I have always felt The Star and Lamp to be a laudable publication, but it's good to hear the same from an unbiased party. (Editor's Note: It sure is!) I hope for great continued success in the coming year and at the 40th Supreme Chapter in Charlotte. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, Brother Dan Jackson University of South Alabama

My husband and I were among the many visitors to your lovely city during the weekend of the Georgia-Clemson game. I wrote our hosts that it was one of the most enjoyable visits to your city and that was largely because of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity on Milledge Avenue. After dinner our friends, my husband and I walked down the street and as we passed the Pi Kappa Phi house we paused to observe the young people and the band that was playing. Several young men came out to greet us. They introduced themselves, asked if we were enjoying the music or if it was bothering us and invited us to listen. As we chatted others drifted over with introductions and offered to bring chairs or something cool to drink. They couldn't have been more gracious or interested in making us feel a part of the party although we declined their invitation. I have been involved with colleges, sororities and fraternities since my own years in college and these young men certainly deserve recognition and praise for their behavior. They were all true young Southern gentlemen. It is certainly refreshing to find a group like the Pi Kapps on campus today. We look forward to our next visit to Athens. Myrtle C.
