have associated themselves to form the new colony at Nebraska. Here the future Pi Kapps pose after officer elections.

Regrouping at Nebraska A chapter closed twelve years ago.

Often this means the end to all the work that the brothers put into their chapter, but this was not true in the case of the chapter at the University of Nebraska.

The ground work was laid, at the closing, to reactivate the chapter.

In 1972, at the request of the few undergraduates left, and faced with the early 1970's sentiment of anti-establishment and anti-Greek feelings, Nu Chapter was closed.

Nu Housing Corporation, at that time, sold the chapter house and liquidated all assets. The money was invested.in secure, high-yielding investments to await the rebirth of the chapter.

The reactivation date would be determined when the trend on campus would be condusive to another fraternity, competitive housing would be available for purchase and the IFC would grant Pi Kappa Phi permission to expand.

The Greek system at Nebraska had developed into a system of twenty-eight fraternities with large physical structures all located adjacent to the campus. The Nu Housing Corporation kept watch for any possible housing that would be available. When a house came available last year, the Nu Housing Corporation was in a financial position to make a bid.

During the spring of 1984, the Executive Director of Pi Kappa Phi, Durward Owen, traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to petition acceptance from the IFC for Pi Kappa Phi to do an expansion.

The IFC, consisting of the presidents of every fraternity, realized that another good fraternity would not compete with, but would instead strengthen the entire Greek system. Pi Kappa Phi was then granted permission to expand at Nebraska by a unanimous vote of the IFC. Could a "NU" fraternity be started at Nebraska? That was the question that Pete Duguid and Jay Stuckel, both Leadership Consultants from the Administrative Office, set out to answer during mid-October 1984.

Armed with a handful of reply cards that students returned from a mailing, Pete and Jay began setting up appointments to visit these students. Individual interviews were set up to explain how the chapter would be started and to determine the desirability of the individual to contribute to the establishment of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at Nebraska.

Names were added by recommendations of friends from the men that were interviewed. An invitation to attend a group meeting was extended only after a

*111(43

personal interview and it was determined that person was willing to work.

Weekly group meetings were held for three weeks while the interview process continued. The meetings consisted of explaining the expansion process, answering questions, and getting-aquainted activities.

Sixty-eight bids were extended during the month-long expansion process, and sixty-eight bids were accepted.

Social activities were used to let the new associate members get aquainted with each other. A "Wedding Party" was held with a sorority with great success. A bachelor party, the night before, prepared the men for the big event.

The sixty-eight associate members chose their leaders during the first chapter meeting. Anthon Brooks was elected Historian after explaining, in jest, that he could do an excellent job with alumni relations because, "I used to work in an old folks home."

For the sixty-eight associate members of Nu colony, the challenge still exists to form a chapter from a diverse group of students. During the month of expansion, not everyone was able to get fully aquainted with each other because of the many new associates. Other priorities were to organize and to meet all chartering requirements, with chartering planned for September 1985.

Sixty-eight men is a large group — yet their desire to meet the challenge of a new fraternity, combined with the individual quality of each member, creates a high chance of success.

The men joined for the right reasons, too. Project P.U.S.H. (Play Units For Severely Handicapped) was a particular reason many members became interested in Pi Kappa Phi. Through P.U.S.H., Pi Kappa Phi has a distinctive competence like that of no other fraternity. The associate membership education program was very appealing because of Pi Kappa Phi's commitment to educate without hazing, and through caring.

Another factor was alumni support.

Members would see alumni at every meeting and function. Through alumni involvement and willingness to help in any way, the new associates knew they had the needed support that would compensate for their lack of experience.

Once again, Pi Kappa Phi, has strengthened itself by the establishment of another colony. The Nu alumni have reason to be proud that their chapter is active after twelve dark years of dormancy.

New Alumni Association THE METROPLEX ALUMNI CHAPTER "THE TIME OF THE ALUMNUS" There is a new emphasis in Pi Kappa Phi. For twenty-five years, since Durward Owen became the Executive Director, this Fraternity has been primarily an undergraduate intensive qrganization.

In 1959 the Fraternity needed to be weeded, and it was, losing eight of the active fifty-two chapters. Since 1968, however, Pi Kappa Phi has been the fastest growing fraternity of the 57 national Greek letter societies. We now stand at 100 chapters and eleven colonies.

Last year, for the first time, Pi Kappa Phi chapters pledged and initiated more young men than the average of all the fraternities. Also, last year the average chapter size was over 41 men per chapter, higher than the national average; and a projected estimate for 1984 is almost a 45 men per chapter average.

The programs for chapter development have been twenty-five years in the refining process. The trend for growth and success has been set and fraternities are experiencing unparalelled growth from new interest by young men in Greeks.

"Now," in the words of Brother Owen, "is the time of the alumnus."

A greater emphasis will be placed on alumni programs and associations. An example of this new emphasis is the newest alumni chapter, the Metroplex Alumni Chapter, in Dallas, Texas.

Recognizing the untapped potential for alumni involvement and undergraduate chapters in Texas, an effort has been made to cultivate this area. Area Governor Mark Jacobs said, "There are over 450 Pi Kappa Phi alumni in the Dallas area, and we have been missing a great opportunity for great alumni development."

The effort to build an alumni chapter started in 1984 when a number of alumni approached the Administrative Office about an alumni organization. A mailing was sent to area alumni to gauge interest.

Two meetings followed the successful mailing.

At these meetings the goals and objectives of the organizations were discussed and a date was set for the chartering.

The effort came to fruition on January 21, 1985 with the Chartering of the

Metroplex Alumni Chapter. The twentyfour charter members are looking forward to "the continuation of fostering of friendship and fraternal endeavor" as the charter explains.

Brother Owen feels this is a positive step in the Texas area. He said,"The seed of growth has been planted; the first to spring to life was the Metroplex Alumni Chapter."

Brother Jacobs feels the alumni chapter will have a very positive and active rola, "We want to keep most of our activities in a social realm, but we have a lot of areas around here that could use some of our help."

These areas include the reactivation of North Texas State, the reorganization of the University of Texas at Arlington, and expansion efforts at Texas Christian University and Baylor. The Metroplex would also like to see a new alumni association in the Houston area where a large number of Pi Kappa Phi alumni live, and Beta Mu Chapter at Houston is available for reactivation.

"The goal of our chapter is to expand Pi Kappa Phi in every way in the Texas area," said Brother Jacobs. Both Mark Jacobs and Durward Owen welcome inquiries about alumni organizations and how to get one started in your area.

The twenty-four charter members who are going to have such a large impact on the expansion of this fraternity are: George F. Blue Michael R. Burcell Melton H. Caraway, Jr Barry C. Case Nick Childress Mark H. Cole George W. Daniels Mark S. Fehmer Billy L. Jacobs Mark F. Jacobs Jeffrey L. Meister Mark Miller

Robert Montgomery Emmet Norman, Jr. William H. Pullin Warren D. Robb Ronald D. Scoggins David B. Smith Otis E. Stepp, Jr. Fred E. Thomas, Ill Gary M. Tolbert Robert R. Walker Bruce Walters Larry W. Wright

PI KAPPA PHI ISSUES

)

STATEMENT OF POSITION ON SEXUAL ABUSE

WHEREAS we, the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, believe that the attitudes and behavior exhibited by members of the collegiate population have direct bearing on the quality of their present and future lives, and WHEREAS there is an increased consciousness of sexual exploitation and violence and incidences thereof not just on the nation's college campuses but in society, and WHEREAS the Greek community has stated its responsibility in leadership, scholarship, community service, human dignity and respect, and WHEREAS Pi Kappa Phi is committed to excellence in the Greek community, and this requires us to identify and solve serious problems that prevent the growth and development of our brothers, and WHEREAS Pi Kappa Phi strives to foster an atmosphere of healthy and proper attitudes and behavior towards sex and the sex roles, and wishes that the incidences of sexual abuse (mental and physical abuse — coercion, manipulation, harassment) between the men and women of the collegiate community be halted,

THEREFORE 4

BE IT RESOLVED that Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity will not tolerate or condone any form of sexually-abusive behavior (either physically, mentally or emotionally) on the part of any of its members,and

WOMEN & MEN Please do not giggle

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity encourages educational programming involving social and communication skills, interpersonal relationships, social problem awareness, etiquette and sex-role expectations; and will develop a reward system to recognize chapters and individuals that lead in fostering a healthy attitude towards the opposite sex.

These programs should be encouraged by not only Pi Kappa Phi but all organizations dealing with the collegiate population so that no individual may become a victim or perpetrator of sexual abuse.

(The above resolution has been approved by the members of the National Council and will be presented to the entire membership of Pi Kappa Phi for further ratification at their Supreme Chapter meeting in August of 1985)

National President David H. Jaffee explains Pi Kappa Phi's reason for the Statement on Sexual Abuse.

Please don't giggle. Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity has a policy on sexual abuse.

There is a real problem in our society today and it is our responsibility as leaders in the interfraternity world to face this issue squarely and without giggles.

Maturity is the price we sometimes pay for growing up.

Our policy is basic. We condemn sexual abuse in any form. This includes acts which are violent in nature such as assaults and rapes. But it also includes non-physical acts such as coercion, harrassment or intimidation. We refuse to tolerate these actions by anybody.

What does all of this have to do with Pi Kappa Phi? Have we been accused of these things? Did a specific event trigger our collective conscience? No, to all of

the above. What happens in our culture in general is often magnified on the college campus. We come into contact with the great social and moral issues faster and more directly than most people. It is our duty to confront these problems, not ignore them.

Our concern transcends the physical form of sexual abuse. Our concern covers the whole gamut of interpersonal relationships between men and women. Our ritual roots implore us to be chivalrous.

Consideration is the key word. How do we treat women? How do they perceive they are being treated?

As I travel around and visit chapters they are always very quick to point out that they don't have these kind of problems on their campus. Often the adminis-

tration feels differently. I always challenge the chapter to question women on their campus and find out how they believe they are being treated. The results are surprising. Common courtesy is often violated with very little thought and perhaps no real malice. We just need to be awakened. Our self-worth is based to a large degree on our level of comfort with others. To improve our relationships with other people increases our own self esteem.

Our policy calls for the development of an educational program which is well underway. We hope to educate our own members and others on the problems and some of the solutions to these very complex problems. We know we are dealing with a widespread problem because the

response from other fraternities and college administrators across the country has been overwhelming. We are literally swamped with requests for more information on our programs.

Are we grappling with all of this because it is a "hot" social issue? Is this an attempt to thump our own chests and exclaim to the world how noble we are? I would like to think not. Once again to be true to our oaths as Pi Kapps we would be negligent in not facing this.

So hold onto your giggles. We may not prevent any actual crimes, though that is a possibility, but we know we will improve the quality of our lives.

Second rechartering in Louisville The University of Louisville has an active undergraduate chapter of Pi Kappa Phi again.

The Beta Gamma Chapter started as a local fraternity, Tau Alpha Rho. The chapter had twenty-five members and a house.

On April 14, 1949 the chapter was chartered in Pi Kappa Phi. The first Archon was Jim O'Neil and the chapter received advice and help from Brother Jim Edwards, presently a Foundation Trustee, when he was in Medical School.

The chapter was closed in 1967, as were many fraternities during the 60's, due to poor scholastics and declining membership.

In 1981, Director of Membership Clay Edmonds recruited 15 associate members and formed a new colony. The next two years were rocked with hopes of chartering and people dropping out due to the hard work associated with starting a new group.

"The change came in the fall rush of 1983," says present Archon Scott Offutt.

"We recruited 19 men to bring our total to 29 members, only one short of the required 30."

The colony started a number of programs to ready themselves for charter-

ing. They had many social events, participated in intramurals, and became active on campus in many organizations.

The fall rush of 1984 was the last hurdle. They needed only a few men, but came in with a whopping 18 new associates. A chartering date was set for December of 1984.

November 30, 1984 thirty-nine members were initiated into the new Beta Gamma Chapter. Pi Kappa Phi brothers from Morehead State and Purdue University did an outstanding job of helping to reactivate the chapter.

The next night 180 members and guests gathered at the chartering banquet to celebrate with the new founding fathers. Assistant Executive Director Gary Leonard was the master of ceremonies, and National President David H. Jaffee was the guest speaker.

"In any effort like this a few individuals stand out as having done an extraordinary job," said Brother Offutt.

He listed among those who did so much: Todd Nethery, the past Archon and chairman of the chartering committee, who really put the whole thing together; Chapter Advisor Barry Birnsteel who gave tremendous help, support, and guidance; Spencer and Carol Harper were

The hard work needed to recreate a chapter is paid off with the presentation of the charter. Steve Offutt, the Archon, left, and Todd Nethery, past Archon, right, receive the fruitation of their efforts, the charter, from National President David H. Jaffee.

invaluable because they often gave their house for rush events; and Housing President Cliff Howenstein.

The chapter has held elections, conducted a retreat, and has developed its goals for the next year. The chapter is off to a good start and Louisville

again has an active Pi Kappa Phi chapter.

Brother Offutt said,"Pi Kappa Phi has had a great impact. I have learned more than any class could teach, plus being part of an enjoyable organization and making friends for life."

America was at war again. This time it was Korea. Yet, the memory of the difficulties and hardships suffered by the Fraternity during the Second World War were painfully fresh. An effort had to be made to protect the Fraternity should the campuses empty and chapters close.

The Administrative Office was located in Richmond, Virginia and W. Bernard Jones was the Executive Secretary. Brother Jones was an Army officer during World War II, and he presented a solution to the Fraternity's problem.

Brother Jones' home was in Sumter County, S. C. and he suggested moving the Administrative Office to Sumter.

If the worst was realized, then he would run the Fraternity from there, even if no funds were available for salary or administrative costs.

The Fraternity survived another war, and the office stayed in Sumter. In 1959 Durward W. Owen was hired to be Executive Director for a short two-year period.

"I had a chance to leave gracefully after two years," explains Brother Owen,"but I found myself continuing to be employed four years later."

It was then, upon Brother Owen's suggestion, that the National Council explored the possibility of relocating in another city. Brother Owen was given the responsibility of evaluating the new locales.

After several months a recommendation was ready for National Council approval. The city of Charlotte, North Carolina was not visited or even considered.

Chuck Babcock, a graduate of Davidson College, suggested that Charlotte would be a great home for the Fraternity.

He aided his cause by sending a $300 check to cover the expense of the site inspection. Ted Scharfenstein, a traveling secretary who would later become National President, was in the area north of Charlotte and he drove down to meet with Brother Owen, who drove north.

In one day the virtues of Charlotte were analyzed. The information gathered concerning transportation, employees, salaries, supplies and the fact that Charlotte was very close to the geographical center of the chapters added up to overwhelming potential.

An alumni meeting was conducted with great local support. "Alumni like Ernest Hunter, Harold Albright, Hooper Alexander, and Bill Fuqua had such tremendous support for the relocation," said Brother Owen, "that I changed my recommendation to Charlotte, North Carolina."

The National Council accepted the recommendation, and on June 5, 1965, Charlotte was approved to become the new home of the Fraternity's Administrative Office.

LEADERSHIP

Changes in the Administrative Staff Each year the administrative staff changes. Road-weary consultants and other staff members leave to find new jobs and new staff eagerly begin their work.

To work for the fraternity is a privilege that all enjoy — but the hours are late, the roads are long, and the sacrifice in pay and career placement is large. These men always deserve our thanks.

In answer to many inquiries to "where is . . . ?" -- we give an update on the most recent graduates of the administrative staff and the newest member.

ERNIE J. JOHNSON Auburn University contributed Ernie Johnson to the administrative staff in June of 1980. Ernie traveled for six months as a Leadership Consultant before assuming the position of Executive Vice.

President of Pi Kappa Phi Properties.

Ernie left the staff in June of 1984.

Through his four years of dedicated service to the fraternity he provided much needed consistancy in those record breaking years.

Ernie was most impressed by the many alumni who gave their time to

Pi Kappa Phi. "I consider working with outstanding alumni, like David Lane and Travis Julian, and the lessons I learned from them to be the highlight of my years," said Ernie. He also considers the large events such as Pi Kapp College, Supreme Chapter, and the ArchonVice Archon to be the most fun.

"These gatherings," says Ernie, "brought Pi Kappa Phi members together from all over the country."

Ernie and the past editor of the "Star and Lamp", Steve Smith, hold the honor of being the only staff to pull one over on Executive Director Durward Owen. Early, one Saturday morning, they were doing some developing in the darkroom and mixed too much of the wrong detergent.

Later, as they opened the door, like Fibber McGee's closet, a tidal wave of suds came flowing out. It took both of them all night with towels and hand dryers to dry out the room.

Ernie now works in Charlotte as a

JAY STUCKEL The most recent graduate of the administrative staff is Leadership Consultant Jay Stuckel.

Jay came out of the reorganized chapter at Missouri. He started with the staff and received on-the-job training at the reorganization of the Michigan State chapter in the winter of 1982.

In the spring he traveled to Charlotte for the normal summer staff training and then completed a year working for the fraternity.

Jay finished his work with the fraternity with the recolonization of the chapter at Nebraska. He and Peter Duguid rushed and pledged sixty-eight members.

A great start for a new chapter.

Jay really liked being a Leadership Consultant. The undergraduates were exciting to him and he gained great satisfaction from seeing that the fraternity was doing well.

Jay now lives in St. Louis and has been very active with Beta Epsilon's housing corporation. As President, Jay helped the chapter gain a new house. The chapter continues to improve, and Jay is a large factor in their improvement.

Jay now lives at 9040 Kathleen, Affton, MO 63123.

Villanova Pi Kapp, John Marshall

Pi Kapp breaks world record Pi Kappa Phi member John Marshall and fellow team members broke the indoor one-mile relay world record recently at the Eastman Invitational.

The new record is 3:08.01. Brother John of Villanova University, runs the third leg of the relay, and he ran the fastest time of 46.2 seconds. Later the same day he won the 1,000 yard race. He has already qualified for the National Meet in the 500 and 800 meter races.

He holds the record for the largest chartering in recent history with over 70 men to be initiated at the chartering at Villanova University.

Glenn came to the staff via the state of Georgia. He graduated from Georgia Southern where he was very active in the Gamma Kappa Chapter. Glenn was on the forefront of the fraternity's effort to become better by establishing a higher standard for expansion.

ALUMNI CENTER Jim Mountjoy stands with his creations: the Rush Poster, the Silver and Gold Medal PUSH Poster and his new Gold Medal Alcohol Poster

Mountjoy keeps creating winners "As the seed is planted, so the tree will grow." Nothing could better exemplify the meaning of this phrase than the thirty years of Jim Mountjoy. With the seed of encouragement from a high school professor, Mountjoy has firmly planted his talents in the advertising industry. This nurtured talent has led him to the vicepresidency of an advertising agency, the honor of industry awards and to his initiation into Pi Kappa Phi. Born in Mississippi, Mountjoy grew up in Ocean Springs where he was a "football freak," playing eleven out of his twelve years in school. It was not until his senior year that he took his first art course under the encouragement of a high school teacher.

"He was one of those rare teachers that come along and plants a seed and nurtures his students," Mountjoy says.

"He said I had a natural talent and he watched me closely, but let me make my share of mistakes."

Mountjoy enrolled in the commercial art program at the University of Southern Mississippi at Hattisburg after fulfilling his core courses at a community college close to home. "I suddenly realized that I loved commercial art," he says.

While at the University, he and several classmates formed the Graphic Communications Workshop, a miniature design firm. The Workshop's client list included the University and area small businesses.

Soon, however, Mountjoy was working for businesses located outside of the State and was travelling extensively. He received a great deal of cooperation from his school's administration until the workload threatened to interfere with a project needed for graduation.

Instead, the Dean proposed to him a substitute senior project — the image campaign for Southern Miss's new stadium — a project that would reflect on him and the University for years to come. The campaign was very successful for the University and the new stadium.

The good seeds had grown and Mountjoy graduated as "The Most Outstanding Graphics Communication Student" at the University. It was time to move onto more fertile ground. . . the Carolinas.

It was 1976 when Mountjoy joined the of advertising agency Charlotte McConnell & Associates, where a young Bill Loeffler (Rho, Washington & Lee) was vice-president. The agency,small and growing, employed Mountjoy as "the art department."

Loeffler was involved with P.U.S.H. at the time and asked Mountjoy to work with him on the promotional materials.

The P.U.S.H. brochure, logo and posters are all results of this teamwork. Soon Mountjoy was designing a rush poster for Pi Kappa Phi, and it was not long before Mountjoy was asked to join the Fraternity.

"The idea of joining the fraternity intrigued me," he says. "I wanted to see what it was I had missed in college. Plus I saw Pi Kappa Phi as a quality organization."

Mountjoy explained how he felt when he ran into a Pi Kapp undergraduate at a local shopping center. "Before we had finished our conversation, there were other Pi Kapps gathered around," he says. "To be on the outside, as a businessman, and to be able to feel that same brotherhood, years after you leave college and to maintain that heartfelt contact," he continues," is interesting.

I am only catching a glimpse of it now."

Brotherhood is one aspect of the Fraternity that is greatly enhanced by P.U.S.H. Mountjoy joined the P.U.S.H. Board in 1984. "Of course, I would like to see P.U.S.H. grow," he says. "It is a positive force within Pi Kappa Phi." P.U.S.H. has given Mountjoy many positive moments as well."The success of the client is one reward, and P.U.S.H. is succeeding," he says, "and recognition by my peers mean that my work is aesthetically pleasing." In 1982, Loeffler, Marley, Mountjoy — the agency in which he now shares the partnership — won a Clio (the Oscar of advertising) for Mountjoy's work.

In 1983, Mountjoy won a Silver Star Award from the National Advertising Network for his P.U.S.H. public service poster — "All Fraternities Talk Brotherhood, but Pi Kappa Phi is Doing Something About It." In 1984, Mountjoy won the Gold Medal at the International Film Festival. There were only 69 golds out of 4,500 entries worldwide; and Loeffler, Marley, Mountjoy was the only agency in the Southeast to win the first place award.

Recently, Mountjoy was named among the nation's top creative talents by Ad Week Magazine, an industry publication.

"Every one is creative in his own way.

Some tap into it easily; others have to be nurtured. I had my family, friends and teachers to help me." He describes creativity as being able to solve problems in a fresh, unique way. This type of creativity is what gains recognition and attention.

Mountjoy demonstrated his creative talents once again with the development of the Foundation's alcohol poster — "One Hangover Leads to Another." In January, it won two ADDY (Advertising Agency Federation of America) Awards at the Charlotte competition.

It is his hope to someday plant seeds of his own as a college professor. "For right now, though, I am doing what I want to do," he says. "But I would like to keep one hand active in the business and the other teaching. I believe the next best thing to having a talent, is having the ability to pass it on."

Dr. Phillip M. Summers attended the first Pi Kapp College and the 25th Anniversary Pi Kapp College Leadership Conference held this summer.

The story comes full circle Dear Editor: I want to thank Pi Kappa Phi for the opportunity given me to speak to Pi Kapps at the 1984 leadership college. The enthusiasm was tremendous! Of course the organization of the program had much to do with the experience the students received.

I am proud to be a Pi Kappa Phi, particularly when I see the work which the staff is doing. You are attempting to instill the true meaning of brotherhood and to motivate students to be student leaders and to develop their potential.

Durward, I enjoyed seeing you again after twenty-five years and to be able to tell the students about the first Pi Kapp College. The "walk down memory lane" was refreshing and helped me to recapture some great moments in Pi Kappa Phi. Sincerely, Phillip M. Summers President, Vincennes University Junior College

A REPEAT PERFORMANCE Pi Kapp College Leadership Conference and Pi Kappa Phi member Phillip M. Summers have a lot in common. They can both trace their growth and development to the time they shared in the summer of '59. Their relationship came full circle this summer when Brother Summers, a member of the first Pi Kapp College, was the Key-Note Speaker at the 25th Anniversary Celebration in August.

Brother Summers' main theme of the address was that Pi Kappa Phi has continued to grow and prosper, a theme exemplified in his life.

Brother Summers was born August 23, 1939 in Washington, Indiana. He started his higher education at Vincennes Junior College, and then went on to Indi-

ana University where he received his BS and MS degrees. He completed his studies at Indiana State University in 1974, graduating with a Ph.D in guidance and psychological services.

Indiana University houses the Alpha Psi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, and this is where Brother Summers started his fraternity experience. He was very active in the chapter, so much so, that he was elected to attend the first Pi Kapp College.

Brother Summers began his career at Vincennes University in 1965. He has held many positions, including Director of Community Services, Dean of Students, and then on July 1, 1980, he assumed the presidency of Indiana's only comprehensive junior college.

The leadership role that Brother Summers lends to the college is extended into his community where he has been very active in a number of community organizations. He has been the president of the Knox County United Fund and the Chamber of Commerce. In 1978 he received the Vincennes Civitan Outstanding Citizen of the Year award, and was chosen by the Kiwanis in 1977 for the Distinguished Spiritual Community Service Award.

As he did at Pi Kapp College, Brother Summers is a key-note speaker at many events. He writes a weekly column in the Valley Advance and also hosts a weekly television show. He is president-elect of the Indiana Conference of Higher Education.

His wife, Pat, is a Graduate Professor of Nursing at the University of Evansville. The Summers' have three daughters.

From that time he shared with Pi Kapp College, Brother Summers has reached the heights of both his professional and private lives.

Pat Swindal

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity may have lost a Washington ally when Senator Howard Baker retired, but the new Congress will have three Pi Kapps assuming leadership roles. Newly elected Howard Coble (Rep.) from North Carolina, and Pat Swindall (Rep.) from Georgia, join Representative Phil Crane (Rep.) from Illinois, a recent alumnus initiate of Alpha Iota Chapter of Auburn.

"My greatest accomplishment so far in my first term," says a smiling newly elected Representative Patrick Lynn Swindall, "was the birth of my first child, a

daughter, twenty-six hours after I was sworn in."

While Brother Swindall has had a productive early term, if the trend of accomplishment he set back in college continues, there will be many more positive endeavors.

Brother Swindall's roots are deep within the state of Georgia. He attended public school in DeKalb County, outside Atlanta. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in political science, and from the University of Georgia Law School in 1975.

He rushed and pledged Lambda Chapter in the fall of 1968 and was initiated in April 1969. He had a very successful college career.

Brother Swindall was elected student body president, and was the only student to be named to the Georgia Athletic Board. He was a member of Sphinx Honor Society, Order of Greek Horsemen, Blue Key, and other campus honor societies.

As an active member of the chapter he was Treasurer, and then in his sophomore year was elected to Archon. He was a member of the Interfraternity Council, a delegate to the 1970 Supreme Chapter in Chicago, and Brother of the Year in 1972.

Brother Swindall has very fond memories of his undergraduate days. "One of my best memories of the chapter was the back bedroom," he says in a deep-resonating voice, "the room slept about five to

Greensboro) added to Pi Kappa Phi's list of notables by sending its own Howard to the United States House of Representatives. Howard Coble, an alumni initiate, was elected from the Sixth Congressional District of North Carolina which includes the cities of Greensboro, High Point, and Burlington.

Coble was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi in December 1983 after having developed a true friendship with the alumni leadership in the area. Since that time he has participated in several chapter leadership programs and has served as counsel

for the local housing corporation.

Coble was born and raised in Guilford County, North Carolina. He attended Appalachian State University and Guilford College, schools which at that time had no Greek systems. He later attended the University of North Carolina School of Law and received a J.D. degree.

Though for the last few years he has practiced law in Greensboro, Coble has had a widely varied life experience including serving nineteen years in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. His last assignment was as Commanding Officer in

Auburn initiates Phil Crane

Rep. Phil Crane

Last spring, the brothers of Alpha Iota Chapter (Auburn) invited Congressman Phillip M. Crane to speak on campus.

During his stay in Auburn, Congressman Crane and the brothers quickly developed an endearing friendship. Many contacts later, the brothers of Alpha Iota invited Congressman Crane to become a part of their close brotherhood. Crane gladly accepted, and on November 18, 1984, became the most recent alumni initiate of Alpha Iota Chapter.

Phil Crane has had a successful career and we are proud to have him as a brother. He worked hard for his college educa-

tion as a farmhand, and as a deckhand with the Dredge and Dock Workers Union.

After attending DePauw University for two years (1948-1950), he graduated from Hillsdale College in Michigan with a BA degree in psychology and history in 1952. He completed his studies at Indiana University, where he received an MA degree in history in 1961, and his Ph.D. in 1963 in the same subject. He is one of a handful of members in the House to hold a doctoral degree.

Brother Crane is a United States Army veteran, having served in Europe as an enlisted man from 1954 to 1956. He taught history at Indiana University for three years before joining the faculty of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he was an assistant professor of history from 1963 to 1967. In 1967-68 he was the Director of Schools at WestAcademy in Northbrook, minister Illinois.

In his first bid for public office, Crane was elected to the United States House of Representatives in a special election in 1969. He has been reelected in succeeding years. In 1982, he carried almost 70% of the vote as he was reelected to represent the 12th Congressional District of Illinois.The WASHINGTON POST wrote: "Phil Crane is the same type of politician that Pete Rose is a ballplayer. He loves

eight people and there were twenty-five of us living there." Brother Swindall was Archon at the time the plans for the new chapter house and adjacent building were completed.

He went on to practice law with the firm of Heyman and Sizemore, and he also has a furniture business.

His community activities are long and varied, from being active with the Young Life in Atlanta and DeKalb County, to a joint Georgia-Georgia Tech Development Drive. He is active with his church and was named one of America's Outstanding Young Men by the U. S. Jaycees.

The newest edition to his family brings the Swindall household to four: Pat, his wife; Kim, and their new daughter. The family will keep two residences. One in his home city of Dunwoody and the

other in Washington.

Brother Swindall is very excited about his new job. He is very proud, however, of the help that many Pi Kappa Phi members gave him during his campaigning.

"Numbers of Pi Kappa Phi's lent us their homes to have political coffees," says the Congressman, "even one of our past Little Sisters held a coffee." Among those who helped were Brothers Bill Huggins, Arthur Dorman, Rusty Lacy, Cal Bowen, Tim Erwin, Bill Schankel, to name a few.

Brother Swindall's sense of humor is warm and funny. He states, "I am at the point of my greatest popularity; I have not cast a vote. Once I do that it's all downhill."

His votes could have a big impact. He ran for the office on the platform of a balanced budget and Pro-Life. He has been assigned to the Judiciary and Governmental Oversight Committees.

These are the two committees that will control both of his vital issues.

"My first job," says Brother Swindall, "in a minority, • is to form a coalition needed to pass the key legislation."

"I am glad to hear that Howard Coble is a Pi Kapp; he is a good man," says Brother Swindall, "and I'll have to congratulate Phil Crane on his initiation.

That should be fun."

"Pi Kappa Phi remains one of the most viable educational experiences in my life," said Congressman Pat Swindall, a newly elected member of the Pi Kapp coalition on Capitol Hill.

Wilmington, North Carolina. From 1967 to 1969 he served as Assistant Guilford County Attorney and from 1969 to 1973 he was Assistant United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina.

In 1973 Coble was appointed by then Governor James E. Holshouser, Jr., as Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Revenue, serving until the end of Holshouser's term on January 8,1977.

Coble also served as a member of the North Carolina House in the 1969 session, as well as the 1979, 1981, and 1983 sessions. When Coble announced his candidacy in 1983, the Greensboro Daily News stated: "With Coble running for Congress, Guilford County will lose one of its most experienced legislators and the N. C. General Assembly will lose one of its most effective Republican members. . . Coble, has won election to the N. C. House with broad support from both Republicans and Democrats."

Last November 7, Coble carried all three counties of his district with wide support from all sectors beating an incumbent.

Known as "Brother Howard" to the members of the UNC-Greensboro chap-

ter, Coble has been a life-long bachelor and maintains a true to life "country boy" persona, smoking cheap cigars and being known for his sense of humor.

When Coble last addressed the UNCGreensboro chapter's leadership retreat he referred to his Coast Guard experience and the necessity for "courage" in both our everyday life and in crisis.

Coble was one of the alumni initiates who helped boost the UNC-Greensboro chapter to recognition during last year's Pi Kapp College awards ceremony. The chapter was recognized for the high number of alumni initiates during the previous year. Being a fairly young chapter, UNCGreensboro began initiating alumni while still a colony in 1979. Their efforts to include fathers and brothers, business leaders and school officials who never had the opportunity to be Greeks has helped the chapter immeasureably.

Many local alumni and undergraduates were actively involved in Coble's campaign. Pi Kappa Phis everywhere can feel a sense of pride that one of their own is still in Washington and that many of their brothers helped make it possible.

the game. He knows only one way to play it — all out." On August 2, 1978, Crane announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President, the earliest declaration in history.

One of the recognized leaders of conservatives in the House, Congressman Phillip M. Crane (R-ILL) is a "man cornfortable with his beliefs," writes the ORLANDO SUN SENTINEL, "he believes what he says and says what he believes."

The Illinoisan is the fifth ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee with jurisdiction over energy, taxes, trade, medicare, welfare reform and social security. He serves on the Trade and Social Security Subcommit-

tees, was a founding member and former Chairman of the Republican Study Cornmittee, serves on the Republican Policy Committee's Task Force on Health, and on the Republican Research Committee's Task Force on Foreign Policy.

Brother Crane is currently a trustee of Hillsdale College, a director of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, member of the advisory board of the Young Americans for Freedom and a former Chairman of the American Conservative Union.

During his tenure, the organization grew to 300,000 members with 40 state affiliates. He is married to the former Arlene Catherine Johnson of Chicago.

They have eight children, ranging in age from 11-24.

Brother Crane's varied career as a farmer, teacher, soldier, historian, politician and author has brought him many honors and awards from such groups as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, B'nai B'rith, National Taxpayers Union, Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, and the National Federation of Independent Businessmen. He was named Illinois Statesman's Father of the Year in 1979.

He is the author of three books: The Democrat's Dilemma (1964), The Sum of Good Government (1976), and Surrender in Panama: The Case Against the Treaty (1978), and has contributed to numerous other publications.

P.I.C.S. is part of Pi Kappa Phi's national philanthropy Project P.U.S.H. What is their relationship?

PUSH

"Showing the way"

James McKelvey, center with beard, stands with the Pi Kapp College Honor Initiation Team that brought Brother McKelvey into the Fraternity.

James B. McKelvey, from Epsilon Rho Chapter at Lenoir-Rhyne, is the Director of P.I.C.S. (P.U.S.H. Individual Care Services). In a recent interview he talked with the Star and Lamp about how he came to be involved in the P.U.S.H. project and how it developed.

James B. McKelvey graduated from Long Island University in Greenvale, N. Y. as a magna cum laude in 1969, and again from Harvard Divinity School in 1972.

He served as a minister from 1972 to 1976. His pastorial duties included an associate minister position in Buffalo, New York and minister responsibilities in Marietta, Ohio. He then rode a circuit ministry in Ohio and West Virginia.

"Being a circuit rider has the advantage of allowing one to only have to write

one sermon to be given in three or four places, but," says Brother McKelvey, "it often does not pay the bills."

In 1977 Brother McKelvey walked into the Colin Anderson Center in St. Mary's, West Virginia and asked for a job. He was given the task of 'direct care', which includes cleaning up and taking care of all the needs of the handicapped individuals.

In four short years Brother McKelvey became an expertly educated person in the care of the handicapped, from direct care to institutional management. He received a degree in special education from the state of West Virginia, and in 1981 he joined the P.U.S.H. program to manage the individual care service. He is also an alumnus initiate of the 1984 Pi Kapp College.

There are two aspects of the P.I.C.S./ P.U.S.H. partnership; the first is conceptional. The best that Project P.U.S.H. can do is to make the institutional environment better for the handicapped person. The best way, however, to improve their life is to get the individuals out of the institution and into foster homes. This is what P.I.C.S. does.

The second is really a dream — we hope to take'the advances P.U.S.H. has made, and the knowledge gained from P.I.C.S., and blend them together into designing and building a community based group home.

There are three components to the whole P.U.S.H. area. The first is P.U.S.H. unit design and construction. This is handled by a company called Clearscapes.

The second is the placement of individuals in foster homes; the agency that deals with that is P.I.C.S. The third is the research, development, and fundraising.

All of these are under the Executive Director of Project P.U.S.H., Micky Thigpen.

How does P.I.C.S. place children in foster homes?

First, these handicapped persons may be children or adults. The technical term for each placement is a 'case'; each case is given a case manager. The handicapped person is taken out of the institution and placed in a foster home with trained foster parents.

It costs $40,000 a year to keep someone inside the walls of an institution.

Each P.I.C.S. case costs $20,000 a year.

In a public agency each case worker may have as many as 45 to 60 cases to watch, support, and give advice to parents. On the other hand, P.I.C.S. keeps

the number of cases .to about 10 to 12 per person. I think that we provide better care, at less cost, than either an institution or public agencies.

P.I.C.S. is only four years old; how is it progressing?

For a young program it is doing very well. When the program was started it was mandated to be self-supporting and we have yet to absorb a loss. We have a staff of three, including myself, and twentytwo cases. Our monthly cash flow is $30,000. This year we will probably add five to six more cases and employ another case worker.

Will P.I.C.S. become a national project like P.U.S.H.?

No. That is the secret to our success — low expense and individual attention.

We can spend the time with each case.

There was a need in North Carolina, just like there is a need throughout the United States. If we set up a big bureaucracy, we would lose that close touch and spend too much money on administration.

We will, however, give-assistance and advise—plus serve as a model—to other states. We will show the way for better care.

This is what P.U.S.H. is all about: improving the living conditions of the handicapped person. The P.U.S.H. units make life better within the walls of an institution. P.I.C.S, tries to break the walls and provide a real home to fit the needs of these individuals. We are being more humanistic.

Lastly, this is still a student intensive project. We welcome any inquiries from the members of Pi Kappa Phi — especially anyone who wishes to do research or serve an internship. This is a great opportunity for special education majors.

The sun shines over two PUSH installments

GAINESVILLE — A handicapped child at Sunland Training Center in Gainesville tries out the waterbed part of the custom-built play unit donated by the University of Florida chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Seated are: Dale Thompson (left), project fund-raising chairman, and John Mailing, training manager for the Sunland Center.

For four years the leading fund-raiser for the Fraternity's Project P.U.S.H. has been the Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Florida.

In four years the chapter has raised nearly $25,000. In addition, the chapter gives time to the nearby Sunshine Children's Home for hanidcapped children by being big brothers, having the kids over for dinner, and many volunteer hours doing work projects at the center.

This tremendous effort was rewarded in December when a P.U.S.H. unit was placed in the Sunshine Children's Home —an event the chapter has looked forward to for some time.

The 20-by-20 foot, $20,000 unit features a fan that blows air over scented wicks, a radio, AM-FM stereo cassette player, a mirror surrounded by flashing

"circus lights", a waterbed, a vibrating seat, a television, and a slide projector and screen.

"The main goal of the unit is to change the traditional way that handicapped homes are set up," said the chapter P.U.S.H. chairman Dale Thompson.

Twenty members helped clean the room and install the unit.

The national goal for 1985 is to raise $150,000; the University of Florida hopes to raise $10,000 of that amount.

They have already gained $5,000 through road blocks at busy intersections.

Four brothers of Delta Sigma Chapter at Bowling Green State University complete their PUSH Week by pushing this wheelchair to the PUSH unit installation at the Sunshine Children's Home.

Fall semester P.U.S.H. Week for Delta Sigma and Beta Iota ended on a grand note with a dedication of a play unit at the Sunshine Children's Home in Maumee, Ohio.

The Sunshine Children's Home is a privately owned facility which houses about one hundred residents. The play unit itself is housed in a brand new wing which was just dedicated in September.

The play unit consists of a waterbed,slide projector and screen, vibrating platform, lighted mirror system, scented blower, and an AM/FM cassette stereo module.

Although the week was highlighted by the dedication, the rest of the week was just as much of a success.

P.U.S.H. Week began on Sunday with a movie and started off Monday morning at 8 a.m. with the beginning of the 100 hour wheelchair P.U.S.H.-a-thon. Monday was topped off with a "male revue."

Tuesday we hosted our annual arm-

wrestling tournament and Thursday was a rose sale. Friday afternoon ended our 100 hour P.U.S.H.-a-thon with a wheelchair push of 20 miles to the dedication ceremony. Saturday ended P.U.S.H. Week with an afternoon toll road and social that night. The week was also highlighted with proclamations from the Mayors of both Bowling Green and Toledo, plus media coverage.

Delta Sigma and Beta Iota were fortunate enough to have a play unit placed in their vicinity and do not plan on ending our commitment to P.U.S.H. or to the Sunshine Home. We are working on raising more money in hopes of furnishing the Sunshine Home with pieces of furniture from the P.U.S.H. furniture catalogue.

How to interview

Should You Ask Questions?

Part II In A Series

Purposeful Interviewing: The Main Event Without a doubt, the key to successful interviewing is thorough and effective preparation. With the exception of your resume and some references, the only information an interviewer has is what you tell him/her in an interview conversation. Interviews occur as deliberate, business conversations between two people who have a need to exchange information. In the employment process, it is the "main event."

In every company, each employee represents an investment by the company. This investment (in training, salary, benefits, responsibilities, etc.) is sizable. Your primary goal in the interviewing process is to show your prospective employer how you can make an effective contribution to their organization and thus bring a return on their investment in you.

The skills and techniques of purposeful interviewing can be learned. Careful investigation, study, and preparation will enhance your interviewing ability and your chances for interviewing success.

Understanding Your Role Interviewing is a selling situation! It is your sales call. The most fundamental tenet of good selling is to first identify your customer's needs and then sell to these needs.

By asking a few questions, a good interviewer can gain a clear sense of whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for the organization. How you respond will depend upon your understanding of the company, its products, its history, its business practices and philosophy, the markets it serves, and even some of its problems. , Of equal significance is your understanding of yourself — your strengths and weaknesses, your past achievements, what motivates you, your goals, and how you see yourself contributing to an organization.

Preparation Activities Know yourself and review your accomplishments. Be prepared to illustrate your areas of strength with specific examples.

Yes! The questions you pose in the interview tell the interviewer as much about you as the answers you give him. Your questions reflect your concerns, interests, and your priorities.

Have some questions ready (from your research), particularly in screening or preliminary interviews. While you should definitely be prepared to ask questions in every interview, questions from you during a screening interview should focus on obtaining more information about job responsibilities and what specifically needs to be accomplished by the job-holder.

As the interview progresses, if there is an aspect of the job which has not been discussed and for which you feel qualified, ask whether or not this responsibility has been included.

Of course, be prepared to discuss your accomplishments and background in this area.

Since your first priority in the interview is to sell yourself, let your questions set the stage for you to provide more information about your accomplishments and capabilities.

Express Interest If you really want the job, express your interest (usually late in the interview). Briefly summarize why you are interested and qualified. Ask for the job (top sales people always ask for the order)!

What About Benefits and Salary?

Generally, avoid bringing up the subject of salary. The more convinced the company is that you are the person they want, the greater the likelihood that salary negotiations will be fruitful.

It is also inappropriate in the interview to ask specifically about benefits. However, as the interview nears conclusion, inquire whether there is written material you ,can read later about their benefit program.

If the topic of salary arises, avoid stating a specific salary expectation. Once you state a figure, you are stuck with it, even though the company may have been willing to offer you more.

If questioned about salary: 1.

Research the company. You may want to locate someone presently working for the organization or do library research via such directories as:

1. Standard and Poor's Register of Corporations, Directors and Executives, 345 Hudson Street, N.Y., N.Y. 10004.

2. Immediately reaffirm the fact that you are confident you can perform successfully in their organization and make a very positive contribution.

3.

2.

The Dunn & Bradstreet Million Dollar Directory (Volume One) - 99 Church St., N.Y., N.Y. 10007. Volume One is for corporations with annual sales greater than $1,000,000.

3.

The Dunn & Bradstreet Million Dollar Directory (Volume Two) - same address.

Volume Two is for corporations with annual sales of $500,000 to $999,999.

4. The Thomas Register of American Manufacturers, One Penn Plaza, N.Y., N.Y. 10001.

Restate your current or last salary and indicate that you are willing to consider a reasonable offer.

Advise that you are confident that this is a progressive company With fair salary administration and that you are sure that you will be compensated accordingly considering your experience and/or education.

4. If the company is still pressing for a specific figure, indicate that salary is but one factor and you would want to weigh it in light of the total situation including such factors as: overall opportunity for career advancement, job responsibilities and content, benefits, location, cost of living, relocation assistance, etc. Practice putting them in your own words.

Important Do's & Don'ts 5.

Local Chamber of Commerce Industrial/Commercial Directories.

Maintain good eye contact with the interviewer. If you are weak in this area, practice it.

Plan to dress appropriately, neatly, and conservatively, attending to all elements of good personal grooming.

Schedule your arrival to be a little early, but not usually more than 10 minutes. If you are going to be late, it is generally better to call ahead immediately and reschedule if necessary. Tardiness is a bad first impression.

Plan to be positive. Modesty can be perceived as a weakness. Don't boast, but don't be apologetic. Even mistakes can be shown to have been valuable experiences.

Plan to be polite and personable with everyone you encounter. People hire people they like! They often hire people their secretary likes.

Plan for a possible preliminary or screening interview. Since the specifications are set and the screener may not be the hiring manager, your task is to learn as much about the job specifications and then show how you meet them or have the equivalent experience, education, exposure, etc.

Plan to have 2 copies of your resume available.

Don't knock previous employers and experiences. Moreover, detailed discussions of your reasons for leaving, or lengthy verbiage on your concerns about your former employer can create a negative interview situation.

Don't talk too much. When you have answered a question concisely and thoroughly, stop and let the interviewer ask another question.

If your tendency is to talk too little, practice and become prepared to give a full answer to anticipated questions.

Generally, don't volunteer unnecessary information unless it is truly of a positive nature and germaine to the conversation or subject.

Avoid negative terms such as: "failure, disappointments, problems, concerns."

Focus on positive terms such as: "contribution, results, challenges, opportunities."

If you do not feel that a question to you is clear, it is appropriate to ask for a clarification.

Plan to have a typewritten list of references available, but don't offer until requested.

Plan not to smoke or chew gum.

Plan to ask the receptionist for copies of all available company literature to gain additional insight.

During The Interview Typical interviewers will probe for additional information about your background, experience, motivation, interpersonal relationship skills, your style, and especially your accomplishments. While the essentials of this information are in your resume, you must be ready to elaborate in detail and talk in an intelligent and organized manner. Expect that most areas and topics in your resume will be covered.

Remember to try and relate your answers to the company's needs and especially to the position under discussion. Again, you need to be perceptive to the interviewer's needs and respond accordingly. Practicing does help!

Be sure to send a thank-you letter to each person who interviews you. Reaffirm your interest and your ability to make a positive contribution. Comply with any follow-up in a timely way.

When You Receive An Offer Maintain an active search campaign until an employment offer is absolutely finalized.

Far too often, what appeared to be concrete offers have fallen through at the last minute.

When you receive a verbal offer, you should first find out (if any) further conditions such as a physical examination, the "blessing" of some other individual, or completion of reference may still be required. Review orally your understanding of the offer that has just been made. This should include exact salary, benefits, starting date, and any specific or unusual conditions or agreements.

Unless you are going to start work immediately, it is appropriate to politely request a letter confirming your employment. Most companies will gladly comply with this request.

Be sure to arrange for adequate insurance coverages for you and/or your family in the transition period between positions or from college to your first job.

Interview Questions Luck? ? ?

The most common type of interview question found today is the open-ended question.

Generally, there's no right or wrong answer, but the question is utilized to learn more about you (and often about your communication skills). Here are some good examples of openended interview questions: 1. Tell me about yourself.

2. Tell me more about (topic)...

3. How have you changed the nature of(or improved) your job?

4. What are the "frontier" issues of your profession and how are you prepared for them?

5. Tell me about your goals and accomplishments.

6. How would you describe your personality and style?

7. Where have you ever fallen short?

8. What can you do for us that someone else can't? Why should we hire you?

9. What kind of salary are you worth? Why? 10. Is your career on track? Tell me about it?

Thorough preparation and some practice beforehand will help insure that you present a much better answer.

There is an old adage that good luck results when careful preparation and opportunity meet. We hope we have helped bring them together for you.

Good luck!

Dear Editor:

Members of Pi Kappa Phi: Each two years the National Officers of your fraternity are elected at the National Convention (Supreme Chapter).

It is my pleasant task to prepare a recommended slate of officers for the consideration of the 40th Supreme Chapter. My committee will review all recommendations and present seven nominees to those attending the next convention, August 10-14, 1985 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Those elected serve until August 1987.

You are asked and encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. The procedure is simple. Of all the success proven Pi Kapps you know, to include yourself, you should consider leadership ability, experience at board responsibilities, a willingness to serve, and a caring attitude about the youth of the United States.

Then send me, Lonnie Strickland, P. 0. Box J, University, AL 35486 (home 205/553-5682, work 205/ 348-6090), the vital information, preferably in the form of a vita or resume.

With this documentation there should also be a written agreement from the candidate indicating his desire to be considered and to serve if elected.

This is an important business of your fraternity, and you can be instrumental in Pi Kappa Phi's continued success through the national officer nomination process.

Lonnie Strickland Omicron - Alabama Chairman, Nominating Committee Dear Brothers:

I would just like to express my gratitude for being selected as the recipient of two national awards this past year. Being selected as a Pi Kapp Scholar and a Founder's Scholarship winner are two honors which I will always cherish.

The scholarship money comes at a much needed time as I will be attending law school next fall. The continued growth of the foundation has been instrumental to me in financing my future education.

Beginning with my days as an associate member of the Delta Delta Chapter at Northeast Missouri State University, Pi Kappa Phi has held an important place in my life. My experience with my brothers at the local chapter level and the national level through Pi Kapp College and area conclaves have created memories which cannot be easily erased. These two honors are simply the "icing on the cake" of a great fraternal experience.

Sincerely, James V. Prewitt Northeast Missouri State

INTERNSHIP Dear Editor: I wanted to take an opportunity to thank the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office for its fine hospitality during my internship.

The opportunity to serve an internship at the Administrative Office is something I consider an honor and a privilege. Working with the staff and seeing the professionalism and respect that each of you have for each other, and extended to me, further built my high regard for the staff.

I thank you for allowing me the experience of making a great Pi Kapp College. Although insignificant was my contribution in comparison to the hard work done by the staff, all of you made me feel part of the team. That feeling is especially great when that team is number one, as you all are.

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi Scott E. Evans Michigan State Alpha Theta 800

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the Administrative Office for the article on "Disability Acceptance in the Greek System," which was distributed to the chapters in a recent mailing.

As a disabled student who encountered head-on the obstacles discussed in the article, its contents really hit home to me.

I just thank God that when I found the brothers at Beta Kappa Chapter, these problems were not to be found. It is a great source of pride and happiness for me to say that my brothers in the chapter (and, indeed, all other Pi Kapps I have met) display an attitude of acceptance which is exemplary. Along with the many other wonderful and beautiful concepts which our ritual and traditions associate with the fraternity, I can, with confidence, add acceptance to the list. It is a special part of my experience as a Pi Kappa Phi which I will always cherish.

MEDALLION GIFT Dear Editor: The enclosed Pi Kapp medallion, Birmingham 1927, is probably quite rare and I send it to your office hoping that you find it of interest, a reminder of the early years of the fraternity. Perhaps you have an appropriate place for its display.

Acquiring the medal was simply a stroke of luck. My wife and I have been ardent collectors of antique mechanical penny banks for many years. These cast iron toys are very difficult to find but we continue to search high and low. We were delighted to spot the medallion amidst a box of trinkets at an early morning "flea market." Like our pieces-de-resistance it is of surprisingly fine quality (silver on copper) for probably a mere souvenir of a convention.

During our declining years we do not wish to appear older than we are and someone looking at that early date of '27 might determine that Brother Feather sure is an old timer. That would date me a decade older than I actually am although, due to my vintage, I was the recipient of a Golden Legion Award in April. I am grateful for this attractive certificate which is framed and displayed in our den.

Fraternally, John A. Feather, Jr. N.C. State University Tau '37

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 six 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."
