A Message from the President -

JUST a year ago at the Birmingham Convention, you placed the responsibility of the administra­tion of our fraternity in the hands of a new National Council, with orders to restore the fraterni­ty's affairs to pre-war status as soon as possible. Since then, all of the chapters which were closed because of the war have been revived and are now flourishing, with chapter rolls even larger than before. The Central Office is now operating with a full staff, a new Executive Secretary and Trav­eling Counselor having been at work since the first of this year.

I have just visited with active and alumni members in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New Orleans. Everywhere I went, I found our brothers active and interested in the growth of the fraternity. With such spirit, I am confident that Pi Kappa Phi will continue to prosper.

The fate of Pi Kappa Phi is in the hands of our active members. This is their fraternity -and it will grow in direct proportion to the thought and energy they devote to its progress. The alumni, too, have an important part in the success of the fraternity. They can best serve by aiding the actives pledge the best available, and encouraging and counseling with them.

The Supreme Chapter will meet again one year from now. If we all do our part, I am certain that it will mark a milestone in our progress toward a greater Pi Kappa Phi.

In this comparison, Pi Kappa Phi is again in the l1;trgest grouping with its life subscription fee of $12 .SO. The average amount collected for subscriptions is approximately $16.-

With its $8 annual per capita dues, Pi Kappa Phi here goes with the ma­

jority. Considering the total cost-initia­

tion fees plus annual dues, and pre­suming the undergraduate will com­plete four years of undergraduate work-the distribution in fraternity groupings would be as follows:

Pi Kappa Phi's total is the initia­tion fee of $2 7 .SO plus four years of dues, an amount of $32.00, which is $S 7.SO. This amount is $3.53 over the average for the above listings of $S3.97.

The services rendered by the na­tional organizations vary. Pi Kappa Phi ranks well in the vanguard of those organizations providing the more numerous types of services and supplies. The fraternity maintains a complete national and regional or­gani?.ation, including a central of­fice, an executive secretary, a travel­ing secretary, twenty-odd district of­ficers, and a chapter adviser for each undergraduate unit. A quarterly magazine is published, available for life to the member. Pi Kappa Phi pays the expenses of the delegate of each undergraduate chapter to the bi­ennial conventions of the organiza­tion. Many fraternities make con­vention expense an additional charge to the chapters, over and above the "total costs" as listed above. Con­vention costs a.re collected in some instances on a pro-rata basis, or in other instances, the undergraduate chapter must furnish the delegate with expense money.

Working tools of many kinds are furnished, including rituals, consti­tution and law booklets, pledge train­ing manuals, organizational manuals and financial and record forms. A scholarship director is maintained and supported with suitable awards and recognitions. Annual awards for high accomplishments in other phases of chapter work are provided.

Editor's note-Thrs is the second of a series of articles on veterans' rights. The author, Robert C. Mclees, Beta '36, is a Veterans Administration Contact Representative.

ARE you entitled to pension or compensation?

If you are a veteran of the armed forces with a discharge other than dishonorable, and had at least nine­ty days of active service, you may be, and just don 't know it.

Pension is paid for non-service­connected total and permanent dis­ability. We hope you are too young and too well to qualify as yet, and will defer that discussion.

Compensation is paid for disabil­ity incurred in or aggravated by serv­ice. Even less than ninety days may qualify if the reason for earlier dis­charge was a disability incurred in line of duty (which does not mean an old injury or inherent weakness which simply cropped up during the rigors of basic training). The best way to find out is to visit your nearest Vet­erans Administration Office, taking along your discharge- and to ask for information.

Compensation is paid only to vet­erans suffering from service connect­ed disabilities at least 10 per cent in degree (determined by physical examination, service physical records, medical opinion and a big red book which sets up a schedule ranging from 0 per cent for a tooth filled in service to 100 per cent for a boy who lost both eyes.) A service-connected disability is one actually incurred while on active duty, or a pre-existing disability definitely proven to have been aggravated by service incidents beyond the normal progress of the disability. This means that such ail­ments as bronchitis contracted in service, or an ankle badly sprained by a fall in a fox hole, are equally service-connected with combat juries. For certain chronic disabili

Part Two: Service-Connected Compensation

ties, such as tuberculosis or arthritis, medical evidence that a veteran was suffering from them to a degree of 10 per cent disability as long as one year after discharge may net "presump­tive" service-connection with all at­tendant benefits. For instance, the government recognizes that a man serving in the Pacific Theatre with daily dosages of atabrine might not suffer anyth ing more serious than a complexion like a Jap - and then come down with a rousing bout of malaria as soon as he leaves off the atabrine. When this occurs after discharge, a doctor 's diagnosis of ma­laria in writing may be all that is necessary to establish service connec­tion. Doc's statement should estab­lish the date of the attack within one year following discharge, however. Sometimes the affidavit of a drug­gist that he furnished quinine for self-treatment may be substituted. (See your V. A. Contact Representa­tive!)

Even if you scorn a hand-out (which it isn 't) , you should take steps to establish service-connection on any disability that might con­ceivably trouble you in the future. Aside from compensation, which fol­lows automatically if the disability is 10 per cent or more, here are sev­eral important reasons: (a) Out-Pa­tient medical treatment at govern­ment expense may be furnished for service-connected disabilities. This includes necessary drugs; orthopedic and prosthetic aids (a toupee if your hair was a service casualty) ; fillings for your teeth. Your own doctor may possibly be authorized to render treatment in your own home town. This is not to be confused with hos­pitalization in a VA hospital, for which most wartime vets are eligible anyway. (b) If you are a World War II vet, if you die of non-service-con­nected reasons, your widow is inelig­ible for death pension under present

Analysis of the reason for the ex­ist nco:: and pervasion of thac s tout spiri t is not difficult. Here is a per­son who drives himself unsparingly and expect:; th e same. and demands it of others. Promptness, accuracy, thoroughness, persistence and energy are qualities which obviously loom large in his personal regimen.

Curiosity Jed to an investigation of just h ow unlimited is the horizon of activities of such an individual. Possession of such qualities naturally leads one to expect a record of per­formance in many ways. We discov­Prf'cl N atio.nal T'residen t Devereux

vou know where to get in touch with th e boy who shared your fox hole. If a veteran is dissatisfied with the ruling on his claim. he has the right to appeal at any time within one year from date of notification. (An appeal is ba~ed on the idea that the V. A. made a definite error of fact or law, is ruled on in Washington, and should be carefully prepared with supporting evidence. Don 't go off half-cocked. Prepare your case as a lawyer would, and get experienced as­sistance.) More frequent ly used is the right to reopen a claim, which may be done at any time (not limited to one year). When you " reopen", you must have pertinent evidence. If you have been denied service-connec­tion, pertinent evidence must include something bearing out your story that the trouble was incurred in or aggravated by service, and not just another medical statement that you are having trouble at the present date .

D. Rice to be well known in his home town of Johnson City, Tennessee. This was a finding confirming ex­pectation. In what way or ways has he become known to his fellow-men? There a re few channels in which his energy and interest have not run.

Along business lines, first call on personal faculties and beyond which most of us have little to spare or will not spare, National Preside~t Rice is owner and president of the South­ern Mica Company of Johnson City. He is also president of the Southern Mica Company of North Carolina Inc. He is a former treasurer of th~ English Mica Company and former president of the National Dry Ground Mica Association.

He is a gr~duate chemical engi­neer of ~eor~Ia T ech . Following a short penod Ill the laboratories of the Louisiana Oil Company of Shreveport, Devereux became asso­ciated with the Southern Mica Com­pany as a chemist. In this organi­zation he has successively held the po3itions of secretary-treasurer vice­pre: ident , general manager and pres­ident.

In compliance with civic obliga­tions, Brother Rice is a four-star performer. He has served as presi­dent of the Johnson City Community Chest and as chairman of the Red Cross a~nual roll call in ·the city, and contmues to work with both or­ganizations on important committees each year. He is a director and past vice-president of the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce. He is a mem­ber of the executive committee of the J ohnson City Community Coun­cil and serves on the advisory board of the Memorial Hospital Building Fund. Rotary International knows him as a past president of two local clubs and as present di strict gover­nor of East Tennessee and part of Virginia .

He is a member and past presi­dent of the Johnson City Country Club, a member of the St. Johns Men's Club and the Unaka Gun and Rod Club. All of which indicates that social prominence has accorn-

panied his leadership in other fields. His church affiliation is Presby­

terian. The Wautauga Avenue Pres­byterian Church of Johnson City has cause to remember him as the chair­man of the committee to eliminate the church debt, for it was wiped out. He is a member of the Board of Dea­cons of the church and bas served as chairman of the board .

H e is a member of the American Legion , Shrine, Georgia Tech Alum­ni Association, and Scabbard and Blade.

A charming family is composed of Mrs. Rice, a daughter Marth a Devereux, and son Charles Bailey, who is a veteran of War II and now enrolled in Georgia Tech . Presi­dent Rice served in War I as a sec­ond lieutenant.

Two biographical publications which recognize America's outstand­ing men list Devereux D. Rice. They are "Who 's Who in America" and "America's Young Men."

This is your national president. Pride of the individual 's accomplish­ments is mixed with pride which comes from the knowledge that his ability is at the can of the fraternity.

EXPANSION

Every chapter as well as every officer in the Fraternity probably rea that now is the time for promoting the establishment of new chapters in colleges as we wish to enter and where there is student material of a qu to meet our standards. Some new chapters are in immediate prospect. are local fraternities of high standard; others are being promoted b:Y colony plan, which is now more promising than ever before. The co plan, as every District Archon knows, is now at its peak as a means of vating chapters. The increased numbers of Pi Kapps, back in school af the War, are in institutions where chapters would be acceptable and 111

colonization an inviting field .

OUR DISTRICT ARCHONS

The central office is designed to aid in securing the health and happi · E of each of our organizations. We, here in C. 0 ., are the first to admit,~ ~h~ ever, that the amount of work we can accomplish personally is negJigt~n An organization which is as far flung as is Pi Kappa Phi must neceSSS pi have good official representation . throughout the nation. This was re!'th1

nized many years ago when the District offices were created. These distr ar offices are the major keynote in our plans for a bigger and better Pi J(af)n Phi. All down the line, the district archons have heard the clarion r,t l of the last Supreme Chapter. They have risen up in unison and said ''~t~ and where can we help? " An interesting note to us was that they n~~Ui only to be told that what was expected and bow it was to be accompltsl':" e With this note ringing in our ears we set forth our objectives and our pi rn; for accomplishing them. •ly

We found that the war torn years bad wrought a lack of standardi~ / operating methods. We found that the old reliable, precedent, had ~el; badly strained and as a result, many organizations had distorted ideas of core rect operating procedures. These deficiencies needed immediate attert1tin: and to correct them personally was an insurmountable task. We set a11 ne reorienting the old district a~chons and orienting the new ones. Our ap~Yt to them to restandardize our national organization has met with excel~~ results with the prospect if even better results during the forthcoming sell e year.

ACCORDING to the Constitution and Supreme Laws of Pi Kappa

Phi Fraternity: "The National Secretary shall be

the custodian of the Great Seal of the Fraternity and shall perform such other duties as may devolve upon his office. H e shall submit to the Supreme Chapter a full written report of the official acts of the N a­tirmal Council."

There are, however, more liberal interpretations of this and, further, there are many hidden definitions in our constitutional assignment. Let's look at another definition: Roget's I-nternational Thesaurus, 1943 edi­tion, states a secretary is a "desk, recorder, writer, director, auxiliary, servant, consignee." Any one of these could be applicable in varying senses. The first we can eliminate unless we look upon the national secretary as something to park your feet on or sit on. The others have varying ap­plications to the position in question, but the penultimate is most appli­cable. The multitudinous things the incumbent secretary must do definite­ly qualifies him as a " rememberan­cer," more than any one other thing. Enough of this. Suffice it to say that perhaps the national secretary is a brother tried and true who "had his

mouth open when it should have been closed."

The incumbent officer has been in the job a little less than a year and has learned more of his pledge les­sons in this period than he ever did as a pledge. Why? A resolution comes through appointing a District Archon for a certain area and it behooves the secretary to officially notify all active and alumni chapters in the area. Had be learned his pledge les­sons it would be a simple task to re­cap all these chapters. Prior to any official notification, however, the votes of all council members must be recorded and determined if the mat­ter being voted upon requires a ma­jority or the unanimous approval. So on and on we go day after day. If one's " rememberancer" is not func­tioninc:r and he has a loose file sys­tem (which incidentally has been in the process of change for months, but never gets done) the votes get fouled up and notification goes awry. Like any other honorary office, the work incident to the position impinges on the normal workday when one should be earning an honest dollar.

The biggest single task for a neo­pyte officer is to know his Constitu­tion and Supreme Laws. Instead , he asks someone else what to do. The

Brother De:mler in his "strictly for summer haircut."

When John Deimler graduated from Drexel he still maintained his active interest in the chapter and act­ed as chapter adviser. During the war years, when most of the under­graduates enlisted in some branch of the services, he was made secretary of the alumni Board of Conservators. Periodically he issued a news letter to members scattered to the four cor­ners of the world, keeping them in­formed of the Board 's progress, as well as giving them news of each other. In January, 1946 he was in­strumental in reactivating Alpha Up­silon, lending his aid in the purchase of the chapter's fine new home. Now that the chapter is back to its pre­war status, Brother Deimler has more time for his duties on the Na­tional Council.

Since 1945, John has been employ­ed as an electrical engineer for the Allan Wood Steel Co., of Philadel­phia. He is a member of the Asso­ciation of Iron and Steel Engineers. Brother Deimler is a member of the Methodist Church. He, his wife, Kay, and young son reside at 335 Righters Ferry Road , Bala-Cynwyd, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia.

The Alumni And Their Fraternity

BY way of introduction of what . your National Historian hopes

~Ill be a reg~lar feature appearing m subsequent Issues of the STAR AND LAMP! I wou.ld like ~o outline briefly the aims wh1ch are m mind.

This is to be, in effect, an educa­tional program for the alumni. Do I hear an amused chuckle from some? And the question, "What is there to learn which we don 't already know?" True-perhaps! But this is not going to be an educational program in the same sense that pledges are educated in fraternity lore. Sure, you know all that! or at least we're assuming that you do.

We hope to go deeper than that and bring to the alumni everywhere a deeper sense of their part in the affairs of and responsibilities to the Fraternity.

And how do we propose to accom­plish these aims? First, by asking that you give a few minutes of your time and some serious thought to

(CouliuuN/ 011 fl"g~ I 0 )

what appears here. Second, by pre­senting ·to you in each issue of the STAR AND LAMP, some idea for you to act upon, or some suggestions for a closer contact between alumni and undergraduate chapters, or perhaps some special job of vital interest to the Fraternity at large. Perhaps we will also be able to help with specific problems confronting alumni chap­ters in particular. Comments and suggestions will always be welcomed; for the more freely we exchange in­formation and viewpoints, the more likely we are to realize our ultimate goal of an active, well-informed, virile alumni.

Although rushing should be, and has in fact become, an all year af­fair, particular .emphasis is placed upon this activity of the Fraternity during the summer months. For it is then that prospective freshmen select the college which they hope to at­tend. And it is here that the alumni have a unique opportunity not only to serve their particular Chapter and the Fraternity, but also to perpetuate their accomplishments while they were undergraduates. They will have an active part in the choice of men who will carry on the ideals and tra­ditions which they so ardently work­ed for and so jealously treasure.

Pi Kapp Alumni are located in practically every town and city in the country. Their contacts are far greater than those of the undergrad­uates. Perhaps the son of a busi­ness acquaintance, a club member, a next door neighbor, or a member of the church, (just to mention a few) is planning to attend college this fall. You know who they are! And it's up to you to see that they know about Pi Kappa Phi and that the lo­cal chapter knows about them!

No detailed procedure or method can be outlined because college regu­lations of rushing vary so widely. But this orte fact remains true re­gardless of local regulations. The alumni can make recommendations to the particular chapter. Let's be even more positive and say that this MUST be done if you and I want to see our Fraternity not only remain strong but grow as well. Although forms are available for this purpose, they are not essential to the accom­plished fact. Furthermore, many of the chapter houses will be open this summer under the "accelerated pro-

10

gram" still in effect in most colleges. This is an excellent chance for near­by alumni to take prospective fresh­men to visit. Most chapters no doubt, will have planned affair~ for just such purposes.

So let 's go alumni, and give this business of rushing some real action!

WHAT IS A NATIONAL SECRETARY?

{Continucc/ from pngc 8 )

such a chapter doing. While you are doing all this, your wife is patiently getting dinner and asking you this and that (which you don't bear and two or three days later you are all mixed up on your family gossip). The second "gal" you drive to dis­traction is your secretary. You start off on a dictating spree and after several letters, she says, "Now do I send out copies to everyone or is this one different?" Well, you about es­tablish a routine when along comes a "top-secret" matter and you keep someone in the dark by not sending them a copy of your letter. Normally, each council member gets a copy of your letters. All this adds to confu­sion and drives the secretary nuts.

All in all, the job is a most pleas­ant one and really makes one appre­ciative of the honor bestowed upon him. However, next time "the mouth will be shut. "

Marshall Olsen, Alpha Omicron's Meat Carving Artist

Louisville, Ky., high school girls recently learned how to make a lamb look like a duck, a lollypop, or a crown fit for a queen.

The artist was Marshall Olson, Alpha Omicron, Chicago, meat car­ver sent there by the National Live­stock and Meat Board for demon­strations requested by the Louisville Board of Trade and the Retail Food Dealers Association.

At each school he took a whole lamb and transformed it into eye­catching delicacies for the table, ex­plaining the while that he was going to show Louisville butchers the same stunts.

The "duck" which Olson fashion­ed for the girls was composed of

shoulder bone and meat. Tber cut out the bone and made an side shoulder roll'' which can bl in handy sizes at the table " just a loaf of bread."

The "lollypops" were larnb 0

on a stick made from a "Sara Roll" of lamb. The "crown fl

appeared suddenly after a fe~ terous slices around the larnb 5

and brought pleased squeals the girls.

Miss Mary Gale Cawthorn, B of Education home economics :~ visor, accompanied Olson and Greenwell, representative of a ~ ville packing company which rur ed the demonstration meat, as1 }

made the rounds of food and~ economics classes. n,

well. Upsilon deserves a lot of _credit for the fine job it is doing wtthout a house on a campus with 52 other fraternities. Omega has much to. offer other chapters as an exa~ple m ef­ficient operation. I heartily endorse their committee form of government and suggest that any chapter pla~­ning this type of setup have . their committee chairmen make their re­ports in a written form so that fu­ture committees can refer back ~o them to save having to learn by their own errors. District VIII's Alpha Sigma is rapidly assuming the role of leader on campus and is doing a job of representing Pi Kappa Phi in Ten-nessee. . d

South Carolina maintains Its lea -ership in the fraternity with. five chapters that ar~ sou~d. numenc~lly; financially and m spmt. Espectall)­commendable are the bouse . fu_nds that Delta and Sigma are bmldmg. The principal problems of the three chapters in North Carolina, the hous­ing of Tau and Mu have been solved since my first visit. Tau now h~s a home and Mu starts off the. fall m a larger section of the fraternity quad­rangle, House R. District II's ~wo chapters are really up and commg. Xi is planning a new house and Rho has made an outstanding job of re­activation (only three Pi Kaps re­turned toW. & L. last fall).

Of the three District V chaptersJ Lambda is the only one with a ho~se although Eta and Iota are now gomg all out to get theirs. Our gang at Emory have certainly come a long way since their rebirth last fall. Eta is No. 1 on campus academically _too. Florida's two chapters are top fhght groups. Two houses with spirit as their forte. District Archon Roberts, of Alabama, might well be proud of his organizations. They are good and still coming up.

My visits in New York and Penn­sylvania showed me four excellent

chapters. Alpha Xi surprised me by having a house despite the fact that all of their membership Jive at home. Alpha Upsilon is justly proud of their new home and Penn State's Alpha Mu are social bugs of the first wa­ter-they kept me up 'til 4:00 a. m. and then woke me at 7 o'clock to witness an initiation. The gang at Renssalaer are guilty of being the most resourceful of any chapter I've visited-they're even doing some of their own plumbing improvements.

All in all , the fraternity is in good sound shape. Our chapters have come a long way since the war but I don't want to leave the impression that things are too rosy. No chapter is be­yond improvement. Certainly none of us want to sit back with the complac­ent attitude that we lack nothing. Rather we should feel that tomorrow challenges us to plan growth, both physical and mental.

Pacific Coast Conclave On November 27th, 1908, a peti­

tion from a group of students at the University of California was received and approved. That was the birth of our third chapter and our first west coast chapter. Springing from that small group in 1908, the west coast is now truly a Pi Kap hotbed.

Pi Kappa Phi held its first post­war conclave on the Pacific Coast at Alpha Zeta on May 4, 194 7. The conclave followed the annual Spring Formal which was a gala affair. The conclave had representatives from Alpha Delta at the University of Washington and interested members from the University of Oregon Pi Kappa Phi Club. An open forum with the heads of the various com­mittees at Alpha Zeta was held. The Alpha Delta representatives gave an account of the conditions and activi­ties of their house. J. AI Head, Na­tional Secretary, gave a short talk on the importance of the house man­ager and answered all questions that anyone had to ask on the house or its way of functioning.

The meeting left us in excellent spirits and realizing what a truth it is that "Pi Kappa Phi is a way of life."

PAUL HUPP In April of this year, the Upsilon

House Corporation lost a very active­ly interested officer when Brother Paul Hupp decided to move to a bet­ter climate and "get some fun out of life." But Paul is not leaving his active interest in Pi Kappa Phi be­hind him in his move to Denver. On May 28, National President Deve­reux D. Rice officially appointed him district archon for District XVIII, which embraces the states of Colo­rado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.

On June 20th last, Paul Hupp was thirty years old and had spent the last twenty years of his life in or around Chicago. He attended gram­mar, high school and Jr. College in LaGrange, Illinois. He enrolled at the University of Illinois in 1936 where he lived in the Pi Kapp house until he was granted his B. A. in 1938. He entered Northwestern Uni­versity Law School in '39, graduated there in '41, and joined the law firm of Sidley, Austin, Burgess and Har­per in Chicago.

Brother Hupp spent about nine months of twenty-three months serv­ice in the Sea Bees at Pearl Harbor. After his discharge in July '45, be returned to his law practice in Chi­cago. He plans to teach law at the University of Denver this fall.

WAYNE R. MOORE In tackling the job of District Ar­

chon in District XIV, which em­braces the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri, Wayne R. Moore is merely exhibiting, on a na­tional scale, interest in the fraterni­ty which he developed locally as an undergraduate at Iowa State College. There he served as social chairman, secretary, and archon of Alpha 0~­cron chapter.

Brother Moore was born in Buffa­lo Center, Iowa, February 5, 1919. He distinguished himself in college as a secretary of Tau Beta Pi and as a Guard of St. Patrick. He was a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Pi Mu Epsilon, and Scabbard and Blade. His other activities included Cadet Officers ' Association, Interfraternity Council, and Military Circus. He was also on the staffs of The Iowa State Daily Student and The Iowa State Engineer.

Immediately upon receiving his de­gree at Iowa State, Brother Moore entered active duty with the U. S. Anti-Aircraft Artillery, and left for overseas February, 1943. He spent nearly a year in Africa and saw serv­ice in about ten countries on that continent before leaving for China, India and Burma, where be spent about eighteen months. Returning by boat he made stop-overs in Ceylon

and Australia. His tour of actil'1

duty ended March, 1946. At present Brother Moore is se~~:

ing as administrative bead and ~~ structor in engineering problems ,r the Department of General Engineer; ing at Iowa State. He is adept 8. playing the piano and violin and lik~ a good game of golf.

Attending Air Tactical School

First Lt. James C. Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Walker of 2421 McCallie Ave., Chattanooga, Tenn., was selected recently to attend the second class of the Air Tactical School at Tyndall Field, Fla.

Lt. Walker attended the Universi­ty of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennes­see. While in school, he was a mem­ber of the swimming team and Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. He came in­to the Army in early 1942 and re­ceived pilot training in the South­eastern Flying Training Command, graduating as a pilot at Columbus Army Air Field, Miss., May, 1943.

The school Lt. Walker is attending is the basic school of the Air Univer­sity System. Its purpose and aim is to teach the fundamentals and basic principles required for officers to most successfully handle the respon­sibilities of Squadron Commanders and for staff duties commensurate with their rank. A broad academic course covers instruction in leader­ship, Tactics, Intelligence, Commu­nications, Administration and Sup­ply, Personnel Management, Public Relations, Civil Affairs and new de­velopments. The academic course is supplemented by a flying program utilizing the latest types of Air Force aircraft. The regular curriculum is al so supplemented by guest lectures from civilian specialists, Ground Force and naval officers and faculty

members of the Command and Staff School at Maxwell Field. Lt. Walk­er will return to his former station at Smoky Hill Army Air Field Sa­lina, Kansas upon completion of the course.

SAMUEL F. BIBB Probably one of the outstanding

characteristics of Alpha Phi's new chapter adviser is his deep and active interest in the welfare of his chapter. At almost any of its functions you will find "Prof." Bibb on hand.

Samuel F. Bibb was born June 2, 1891 , in Ripley, Tenn. He attended West Tennessee State Normal in Memphis and the University of Chi­cago. In 192 S he began his teaching career in mathematics at the then Armour Institute, now Illinois Tech. He has also taught at the Michigan College of Mines and the University of North Dakota. Among recogni­tions accorded him is his membership in Sigma Xi, one of the original mem­bers in the association of college honor societies. He served in World War I as a second lieutenant in in­fantry.

In his own words, his idea of recre­ation is "eighteen holes of golf, a good dinner, and bridge until mid­night."

Brother Bibb has a daughter, Frances Elizabeth, a sophomore at Carleton College, North Field, Minn.

S. WALTER MARTIN Lambda's chapter adviser is a na­

tive Georgian and is proud of his

heritage. When asked for background material for this article, his sole ref­erence to his parents was " native Georgians."

S. Walter Martin was born in Tif­ton, February, 1, 1911. He attended Furman University, where he join­ed Delta Chapter January 12, 1931, and received his A. B. degree in 1932. He taught history and English in a Palatka, Fla. , high school from 1932 to 1934. He received his M. A. de­gree from the University of Georgia in 193 S. For the next nine years be taught history at the University of Georgia . Somewhere in between he completed work on his Ph. D. at the University of North Carolina.

He has been Associate Dean of Faculties in charge of academic ad­ministration at the University of Georgia's Coordinate School since 1945. In addition to his teaching and studies, he has managed to find

STANLEY S. RADFORD Brother Stanley S. Radford's task

as new chapter adviser for Alpha Theta is made no easier by the chap­ter 's drive for funds with which to purchase a house. It's no simple job "seeing them through" but, in Stan­ley Radford, they have a man at their side who has a vital interest in the future of the chapter.

Brother Radford is an alumnus of the old Orphic Literary Society of Michigan State College which became Alpha Theta of Pi Kappa Phi on May 9, 1925 , and is a charter mem­ber of the chapter. He returned to East Lansing to be initiated at the time Alpha Theta was installed. He has served one year as president of the Lansing Alumni association and, at present, is treasurer of the new Lansing-East Lansing alumni chap­ter.

Brother Radford is a native of Climax. Mich. He graduated with his B. S. degree in Mechanical Engineer­ing in 1922 from Michigan State Col­lege. He taught Mechanical Draw­ing and Machine Shop at Saginaw's Ea~>tern H igh School for seven years, aPd later taught Trade Drafting at the Arthur Hill Trade School of Sag­inaw for the same length of time. J n 1934. upon receiving his M. A. in Vocation'l.l Education from the Uni­versity of Michigan, he accepted an assistant professorship in Engineer­ing Drawing at M. S. C.

Alpha Theta's new chapter ad­viser is 48 years old, married and has two daughters. He and his family reside at 33 7 Division St., Ea3t Lansing.

T. J. STARKER Brother T. J. Starker is probably

the only man in Pi Kappa Phi to serve as chapter adviser for two un­dergraduate chapters. He started his professorship in forestry at Oregon State College in '2 2 and taught there until 1942. He spent one year (1930-31), on sabbatical leave teaching at Penn State and acting as adviser to Alpha Mu.

To give you some idea of what Alpha Zeta thinks of their chapter adviser, they have purchased a scholarship cup, named it the "T. J.

Starker Trophy," and it is presented each year to the outstanding sopho­more brother.

"T. ]. ," as he is affectionately known to his undergraduate chapter was born in Kansas July 15, 1890: He studied forestry at Oregon State College, and at the University of Michigan and Wisconsin . He served with the United States Forestry Serv­ice, 1909-18, and was traveling sec­retary and manager of the Box Dept. , of the Western Pine Mfgrs. Assn., 1918-22.

Professor Starker is chairman of the Corvallis Park Commission and is an ex-chairman of the School Board Planning Commission. He is a member of Xi Sigma Pi (forestry honorary) and the Lions. He has con­tributed articles to American Fores­try and Journal of the Society of American Forestry. You can find him listed in Oregon 's Who's Who and Who's Who in American Education.

"Prof.'' was married June 30, 1914 and has two children, Bruce and Jean. Bruce is an alumnus of Alpha Zeta and is now associated with his father in the forestry and timber business. Jean is Home Demonstra­tion Agent for Clatsop County, Ore­gon.

Pi Kappa Phi has another repre­sentative in the United States Diplo­matic Service.

Brother Glenn 0. Perry, Alpha Eta, who is a Vice Consul has been recently named Disbursing Officer and Attache of the American Embas­sy in the Republic of Panama. Bro­ther Perry entered the Diplomatic Service in 1944 and has since served in San Jose, Costa Rica and later as Assistant Disbursing Agent of the American Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico.

Initiated by Alpha Eta chapter in 1936, Brother Perry served as treas­urer in 1937-38. He th~n transferred to Omicron and obtained his B.S. degree in Business Administration from the University of Alabama in 1939. Later he did graduate work toward the M.S. degree in Account­ing.

Prior to the Diplomatic Service Brother Perry was selected by the Social Security Board in Washington, D. C. as an Audit Reviewer and plac­ed in charge of reviews of the South­ern States.

By "RODDY" RODRIGUEZ,

Iota Tampico, Mexico

After having known Brother Rodriguez by reputation only for several years, it was the editor's pleasure to meet and know him at the meeting of the twenty-first Supreme Chapter in Birmingham, Alabama in 1946. His eloquent oration to us at that time recalled to mind the following article which Brother Rodriguez wrote for the STAR AND LAMP in 1926. What he said then is no less true today. - EDITOR

It might be the general run of life, it might be that destiny has engraved it in its annals of time to be so, or it might be a mere carelessness notic­ed before, but not pointed out- that truly there is a missing link between the undergraduate and his brethren that have gone by before him. The alumni once through college, pass un­to the business world, dive into the mad rush for making of fame and wealth , and forg('t that trodding be­hind come those young men who be­long to the sa me family that they do, who could really derive the benefits of their counsel, their financial aid, or at least the orienting in getting I!OOd prospective members. Generally the alumni feel as if they have gone through hard toil in fraternity life, contributed their little grain of sand, and once out, should go into recess for a while, or at least until solicited by their chapters. We are prone to think ourselves too important, we feel as if the world were at our feet­until life in the unfolding of its treas­ures of truth and experience, brings us to realize that all of us are broth­ers, that we should continue to help those that are now toiling in that same place where once in our life we felt that we needed a helping hand ; for surely each and every one of us feel s that sensation of satisfaction at least, when we realize that the growth of our fraternity and its progress is ..:lue to the new acquisition of young­er and more active blood than ours. Who does not feel a certain satisfac­tion when he thinks, that when he belonged to the active ranks there were so many chapters and now, the essence and purity of the purpose has triumphed and there are so many more chapters than then?

To all alumni-"Help your own fraternity , help in the getting of new

16

members, for in the days to come, those that are now pledged will bold in the world a similar position to yours. They will probably follow your example- can you truthfully say unto yourself that you have done everything that you can for your fraternity? Do you think that vou have lived a life worth setting as an example? You came to pave the way - how well did you do it? "

To all undergraduates-"In the in­nermost part of yourself, there is an instinctive desire to return to hu­manity the blessings you have receiv­ed from preceding generations. Not long from today, you will have pass­ed from the files of the active mem­bers, and can you say that you did everything in your power to better your chapter and your fraternity, so that those that come behind you will bless you for your works? Give, give all that you have, for the love that there is in giving, for that which you will receive in satisfaction and spirit­ual blessings, will over-pay manifold what you gave."

Johnny Summers P. RoBERTS C '47

Fraternity members have come and gone, but there is one landmark that has been symbolic of the Alpha Iota Chapter, and that mark is House Man Johnny Summers. Johnny was born in Lee County, Alabama in 1913, and came to work for the chapter in November of 1934. At that time the house was an old white frame build­ing on East Glenn Street. He stayed with the fraternity through · four changes of houses and was still serv­ing faithfully when he left to join the Army during 1942.

While serving in the Army, John-

ny was stationed at New Ork 1111

La., Fort Jackson, South caro Vii Venice Army Air Base, Sar~ D· Florida, Camp Blanding, Fl~ St Fort Frances, Wyoming, Carn~ . mer, California, and finally tO . Philippine Islands. Johnny wa the 3666th Quarter-master La~r Co. He was discharged in 194 . reported back to the house as Et as he returned home. Vi]

Johnny is remembered by 1 Ill brother who has been in the ch~ to since he took over in 1934. wht bo it be for his unfailing good h~1 Cl his ringing the chimes at 7 or1 \V each morning, being able to Il. everyone's laundry straight, or th slight fondness for certain beverl dr

BROTHER EUGENE C. GARTNER PASSES AWAY

Eugene C. Gartner, Iota, died on May 13, 1947. At the time of his death he was associated with the Georgia State Highway Department, Augusta, Ga., in whose employ he had been since 1920 except for a period of enlistment in the U. S. Engineers' Corps during the war.

Brother Gartner graduated from Georgia Institute of Tech ­nology with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1920. In the same year he married the former Miss Helen Dennis. They had one child, a daughter, now Mrs. Tom Usry. Brother Gartner was active in the First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, where he served as a deacon, and made his home at 2212 Kimberly Drive there.

Death was due to a heart ai lment. His daughter, Mrs. Usry, and a grandchild, Helen Louise, survive.

Also reported deceased are: Walter E. Dennard, Jr., Alpha Iota, Columbus, Ga., John E. Wright, Psi, Nichols, N. Y.; Stephen T. Henderson, Epsilon; Clarence M. Kennedy, Gamma, Oakland, Calif. No particulars available.

It is mainly through his efforts that the interior of 33 Sidney Place is what it is today. We shall never be able to thank Ray enough for this. George Mac Duff and Bill Geoghan in­tend to pursue their education at other colleges next fall.

Two brothers plan to take that fatal step to the altar. Bill Wright and Bill Hebestreit plan to have their weddings on August 3oth and 31st respectively. Brother Ronnie Kelsey was married the past July.

The chapter was honored in having brother Bob Morse, traveling counselor, visit us and give us some up to date news concerning Pi Kappa Phi. It was good to hear that we are progressing.

Following the elections held recently in Troy, Nick Ru· sanowsky took over as our new Archon. Others taking office were Jim Wick, treasurer; Jack Lott, secretary; Bob Kelly, historian; and Bob Leuders, chaplain.

During the spring term, the brothers completed a thor~ugh face -lifting job on our chapter house. Many heretofore hidden talents were brought to light as we painted, hung new wall· paper, and renovated the plumbing system. If anyone doubted the improvements were worth the effort, the praise of visiting alumni certainly convinced them. Among the old grads return· ing for spring social events were Larry Albre, Walt Marter, Van Schen, and Jerry Cook. Jerry Cook was accompanied bY Mrs. Cook and his two-year-old son.

Our social committee, headed by Dick Donahue, has been doing an A-1 job. We've had house dances, picnics, and formal events at some of the nearby resorts. Each event seemed to outdo the preceding one and not a weekend passed without an event of some kind to take our minds off the con· stant demands of school work.

Nick Rusanowsky, our new archon, was honored recentlY by being elected secretary of Pi Tau Sigma, honorary Meehan· ical Engineering Fraternity.

Bob Morse, Pi Kappa Phi's traveling counselor, spent three days with us recently and we went all out to show him we really have an active bunch- of boys here. At present we're looking forward to a visit from John Stevens, our district archon.

Prof. Grant K. Palsgrove, our faculty advisor renewed hiS pre-war custom of entertaining the graduating brothers at an informal party in June. Those who attended were Andy Far· re11, Rick Renson, Bob Buchanan, George Harper, Steve Mas· len, Dick Ahlquist and George MacCiausan.

This is the first time for several years we've had a house, and he started managing it fr?!11 scratch, doing everything from purchasing food to disciplinln~ us, and he did so good a job at this that we had to re-eJec him.

On April 20, Robert Thomas, Dennis Nofsinger, HarrY Whiteside, Blair Brugh, Robert Mclntrye, and Benjamin ~d Albert, Jr. were initiated.

We were very glad to see several alumni there, were also lucky to have good weather, and the tableS on the terrace were well fi1led .

OF PI KAPPA PHI

an honorary leadership fraternity in its thirteenth year at Duke.

Great news came our way with an approval for Mu chap­ter to move into a new section, which is next door to our old "home." To the alumni and past visitors to Mu, we are most happy to announce that when you return to "Methodist Flats" on a visit, you will find us residing NOT in House S, but in House R. Our new house has six rooms more than our birth­place, House S, so we naturally can house more brothers. With the beginning of the new semester, we were able to group to­gether those brothers and pledges who were unable to move into the old section. This brings closer our brotherhood, in that we don't have Pi Kapps living in every section on campus.

In our new home we have put new venetian blinds, new draperies, a new cornerpiece for the location of our plaques and trophies, and new magazine racks. During the summer our furniture was overhauled, our rug was cleaned, and addi­tions were made to our record-racks and library.

The social calendar last semester was well rounded in its realm of functions. We had three big open houses and a Spring-formal (which was so large and so well decorated that the caption in the yearbook beneath a picture taken during the intermission read: "During intermission of the Men's Pan-He! Dance, Pi Kappa Phi's form a singing circle in their corner.") A dinner-dance was held at the 'Saddle Club', a cabin party at Crabtree Creek State Park at which many went in swimming and a Myrtle Beach (S. C.) week-end beach party. A big T-hone steak farewell banquet for four­teen departing brothers, and many picnics which were held during the semester at the Duke forest gates are on our records.

The farewell banquet was the clima1.ing function of lhe school year. There were fifty-five brothers present including Dr. W. Blackburn of the faculty, ex-Judge Borland of the Durham Bar Association, some of our graduate-brothers, and fraternity adviser Bill Brinkley. When the departing brothers had completed their farewell gestures, short speeches were made by outgoing archon, Bill Elam, and by "Ev" Cobb, new archon. Dr. Blackburn talked of the fraternity and recog­nized the numerous accomplishments made by many of the brothers. "Judge" Borland gave a short speech on humorous incidents that had happened in the chapter; told of his annual award, to be known as the Borland Award which would be given at the end of each school year to the most outstanding and valuable brother in Mu who does the most to promote Pi Kappa Phi on Duke campus during the year. Bill Elam made an award to Paul Cato for being voted by both brothers and pledges as the "best" pledge during the p ledge period . An award of a miniature gavel was made to Bill Elam for his excellent work as archon during the past semester. Warren Pope awarded a trophy to Jim Boggs for being voted the "most valuable Intramural Athlete-Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity -1946-47." The Master of Ceremonies, Wes Gilbert (who has been M. C. for eight consecutive times), introduced the speak­er for the evening, Mr. Robert Cox of the Dean's staff here . Dean Cox told the brothers that "a fraternity means a home to you." He told how a brotherhood should live, work, and play together and gave examples by recalling some events and naming the brothers connected with those events. All in all everyone was very well pleased with every minute of the evening from the first faste of the strawberry-pineapple cocktail until the last note of "The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi" was sung. The tables were decorated with centerpieces of bunched red roses surrounded by ivy.

Last year Brother William C. Archie, a Pi Kapp from Eosilon at Davidson, joined the Duke faculty. This year Brother Johnson Watts is an instructor at Wake Forest Col­lege while working on h's M. A. degree. Speaking of degrees, Brother Dudley Moylan received his M. A. last semester and is now working on his Ph. D .

Brother Ed Gatling was e!ected president of the Y. M . C. A. this year and well deserves that po ition. He has bee.n active in the "Y" for his three years here and has proven hts worth to that organization.

Brother Warren Pope, who was graduated during summer, has 'written' an excellent chapter paper for both himself and

Brother and Mrs. Josh Billings were down from Pittsboro to attend Finals and act as Tau's chaperones. They upheld their reputation for being the life of the party. Tau is cer­tainly indebted to Brother Josh and its other a lumni who have "come through" when help was so sorely needed.

We are delighted to see that our other chapters are doing so well in intramural athletics. At the same time we are slightly envious, since Tau was practically last in every sport at N. C. State. We'll bet however, that no chapter has had quite as big a time in intramurals. Win or lose we always try to show the spirit so typical of Pi Kappa Phi. Horseshoes seem to be the center of interest now with a ll the fellows trying, in vain, to conquer the team of Blow and Wallace.

Harold Jordan and Ed Troy returned the State fraternity bridge trophy to Tau after an absence of several years. Their superiority was established a fter a playoff with the Delta Sigs at the Raleigh Bridge Association .

Alumni Charlotte, North Carolina, Alumni Chapter

A reorganizational meeting of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter originally chartered in 1939, was held at Thacker's Restaurant on July 16. Reginald Price presided over the gathering of twenty brothers and "Bernie" Jones made the keynote address. Having told the group of Central Office reorganization, Execu­tive Secretary Jones further discussed expansion progress and a definite plan for the Charlotte Chapter's participation in the overall program.

The brothers assembled manifested considerable enthusiasm over reorganization according to a definite plan. Discussion disclosed that this group favored the development of a con­structive project and scheduling of regular meeting dates, the frequency probably not t? ex~eed four meetings annually, but to be arranged at the d1scretJon of a small governing body. Suggested projects listed for further consideration by this governing body were: A scholarship plan to aid worthy men attending schools where Pi Kappa Phi is represented; an an­nual conclave for both graduates and undergraduates of this general area; a program of fellowsllip amon~ alumni of this area; a program designed to furni sh names to undergraduate chapters as rushing prospects.

Before the close of the meeting, the following governin~; body was named: Mills Taylor, president; Thad G. Yelton vice-president; Don Davidson, secretary- treasurer; with th es~ directors: Bailey T . Groome, Ernest DeLaney, Edward G. Sellers and Boyce M . Brown, Jr.

Florida Alpha Epsilon New officers elected for the fall semester are: archon, Bob

Ferreira; treasurer, Carlton Bliss; secretary, Bob Holmes; his­torian, George Johnson; chaplain, John Palmer; warden, John Miller; housemanager, Louis Ptacek; steward, Buddy Hall.

Coming down the homestretch of the spring semester, Alpha Epsilon held its two most important events of the year, Spring Frolics and Mothers' Day. May 2-3, ushered in Spring Frolics with Harry James playing in the gymnasium at the I. F. C. sponsored dance. Our chapter functioned at this affair Fri­day night and on Saturday evening gave a dance of its own, with a band from Jacksonville Beach furnishing music. The theme was a "Shipwreck Dance" with a prize going to the most approP.riately dressed couple. As usual, nearly everyone on the campus dropped in and a good time was had by all .

Mothers' Day, the following week-end, was attended by one hundred guests. Before the program, dinner was served in the dining room. The principal speaker was Brother Sidney Her­long, County Judge of Lake County. A trio consisting of John Palmer, Ted Camp, and Darrell Carnell sang several numbers. Official welcome was extended the visitors by archon, Bob Ferreira and Mrs. A. L. Combs responded for the mothers. Brother Ed Manning was in charge of the program and Harold Combs acted as Master of Ceremonies. Every mother was given a favor by her son and the ceremony ended with the singing of the Pi Kappa Phi "Sweetheart Song."

A new addition to our chapter room is a sparkling, brand new watercooler given us by the Miami Mothers Auxiliary. Entire ly on thei r own initiative our Miami Mothers raised the money necessary through much hard work. Now our members and pledges don't have to head for the nearest soda fountain when they are thirsty. The go-ahead signal for put­ting a new roof on the chapter house has been given and the contractor wi ll start work sometime during the summer.

New men pledged during the latter part of the semester were: Earle Boyce of Miami; Billy Mills of Orlando; Arnold Dinkins of Yankeetown; George Estis of Sarasota; Jim Straugham of Miami; and Duncan ] ohnson of Pensacola.

The following brothers were elected to membership in hon­orary and scholastic fraternities on campus: Bob Ferreira, Beta Gamma Sigma; Bob Wheeler, Alpha Kappa Psi prexy; Jack Carpenter, Sigma Tau secretary; Bill Harrell, Blue Key and president of the Freshman Law School; and Ted Camp, mem­ber of the Honor Court. Both of our candidates were success­ful in student body elections. Eddie Graeme captured one of the coveted posts on the Lyceum Council, and one of the Executive Council seats went t.o Walter McCall. Others hold­ing officers in various organizations are: Ted Camp, inter­fraternity council representative; Jack Raudenbush, junior I. F. C. representative; and Darrell Carnell, assistant band manager. During May various organizations awarded letters to their deserving men. Carl Pease received a cheerleaders' letter while Band letters were received by Darrell Carnell and George Johnson.

With a chapter of some 83 members and pledges, and many alumni scattered hither and yon, we felt it necessary that they be drawn closer together through some practical medium. Thus, was born our chapter newspaper, under the supervision of Historian George Johnson, atSistant editor, John Palmer, and circulation manager, Harold Com bs. Our first issue went out on May 20. j.ny a lumnus failing to receive his copy is urged to make it known to us that our mailing list may be brought up to date. When any of you make changes of ad­dress be sure and let us know. Thanks, fellows.

Homecoming this year is Oct. 25th, with the Fighting Gators playing host to North Carolina. Alpha Epsilon has a big pro­gram for the week-end planned and we wish to take this op­portunity to urge all our alumni to especially be with us on that occasion. See you then.

lary; Hugh Gower, historian; and Lyle Gillespie, warden. Since the last issue of STAR AND LAMP, we initiated the fol­

lowing 17 men into active membership: Julian Bennett, Chris Carrott, Robert Clark (in facultate), James Conrad, Joe Corson, Robert Denham, Byron Gay, Addiion Gilbert, How­ard Gordie, George Hope, Jerry Ivey, Emmet Low, Clyde McCully, George Patterson , Aaron Swain, Milton Walters, and Richard Woodall.

Chi pledged the fo llowing 8 men during this period: James Anderson, Ben Carson, Robert Guard, Kenneth Kraigsman, William Mi11er, Dick Rose, AI Schneider, and Dirk VanGilder.

Since we repainted, redecorated, and repaired the interior of our house Chi feels and looks much better. This we ac­complished just prior to our annual Parade of Orchids and it brought forth favorable comment from our visiting alumni. This year's Parade of Orchids was the biggest and best in Chi's history. The dance was preceded by a banquet, at which Brother Ernest "Pops" Machen announced as his successor to the office of district archon, Brother Jamie Albritton, alumni secretary of Stetson University. The dance was highlighted by some 80 Pi Kapps and their dates who "led out" through a replica of the fraternity's badge. Other major social events for the winter and spring quarters have been weekly open­houses for Pi Kapps and their dates, and a shrimp boil at Juniper Springs.

Chi boasts the election of Brother "Bud" Dickinson as presi­dent of the Student Body for the next school year. We had the privilege of sending an initiation team who initiated 11 under­grads at the University of Miami, May lOth, as associate members of our chapter.

On May 26th a banquet was held honoring intramural man­agers, at which time cups and trophies were presented the win­ners in various sports and activities fo r the past school year. We came away with cups and trophies for tennis, interfraterni­ty sing, basketball, and football. And, most important of all, we again won the intramural championship trophy, after hav­ing retired the former championship cup last year. Our thanks go to Brothers Deen and Gunn for their efforts as our intra­mural managers this school year.

ing officers: Norman "Tiger" Brown, archon; Jim Martin, treasurer; Mac Kennemer, secretary; Dave Crawford, house manager; L. D. Jinright, historian; Jim Holcomb, chaplain ; and Homer Davis, warden.

The interfraternity softball championship was won by this chapter, _after a double elimination playoff. Lloyd McClenny pitched the winning game, as well as four others which were played on consecutive days. This is quite an honor to hold on the campus, and each brother under Omicron roof is proud of the new trophy on our shelf. We plan to continue par­ticipating in intramural sports this summer, even though sev­eral of our brilliant sportsmen will not be on hand to help out. Joe Ed Kirkland, freshman from Newvi11e, Alabama, led Ala­bama to its eighth Southeastern Conference baseball title. His brilliant pitching record has been highly praised.

Many socials have been given during the past few months and several have been planned for the quarter which has just begun. A house dance, a Mock Night Club Party, several picnics, a buffet supper, and a smoker highlighted the events of the term which recently ended. We had open house several weekends during the past quarter, and many inactive brothers and alumni dropped in for informal get-togethers.

From a highly competitive field we advanced to finals in "Carnicus," an annual U. T. event, with an original skit en­titled, "The Nutty Newsreel." We wound up our highly suc­cessful sorority parties this season with entertainment for Chi 0, Tri Dell, and Delta Gam pledges and officers.

Detroit Alumni Chapter T he fi rst step in aiding; Alpha Theta obta in a new house

was taken on May 16, when the Lansing-East Lansing alumni chapter was forma lly installed and the fo llowing officers sworn in : Claude Pope, archon ; Stanley Radford, treasurer ; and Loren Ferley, secretary.

Altogether, 3 7 Pi Kapps were in attendance at the installa­t ion banquet; ten members from the Detroit alumni chapter, J ohn Blair, R obert Dearing, George H elm rich , Russell Hurd, H art Morris, Mil fo rd Morse, Kryn Nagelkirk, Robert Robbins, Ray Shedd, a nd William Zabriskie; members from the newly installed chapter, AI Bowers, Laverne Davenport, J oseph Dun­can, Loren Ferley, J ames H odge, Kim J epson, Claude Pope, and Dr. L .

Unfortunate­ly, Lester F . Strickler, J ohn L . H urrle, Jr. , Francis W. Schell , and Stanley S. Radford, charter members of the new group and signers of the charter petition, were unable to attend .

Archon Pope opened the meeting for discussion purposes, most of which was concerned with the building of a house for Alpha Theta. Brother Blair, fraternity archi tect , passed around his drawings of the proposed building. It will accommodate 30 men, a housemother, and a cook very comfortably, and is estimated to cost around $70,000. In explaining the many good ideas incorporated in his drawings, Brother Blair .stated the house would be of stone and brick construction . It will be built on the very attractive site which the Lansing-East Lansing alumni purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the old Alpha Theta house.

A House Corporation Co mmittee, composed of the foll owing men, was appointed : Claude Pope, Dr. L . B. Sholl , and Kim J epson. The purpose of this committee was to get proper lega l advice and begin plans on the project prior to the close of the spring term. Kim J epson made a 'motion that the goal of June 1, 1948 be set to start building, and this was quickly seconded and passed. The H ouse Corporation plans to sell bonds to a ll interested members and Alpha Theta will rent or lease the house from the H ouse Corporation .

At present we are attempting to get an up-to-date mailing list of all Alpha Th eta men . Please send in your correct addresses, and those you know of any other alumni, to: M. A. Morse, 9385 Pryor St., Detroit 14, M ichigan. Jt is important that we have as many of these names as possible before school starts in the fall . So write today. Donlt put this off , do it now !!!

terms: Bill O'Donnell , archon ; J ohn Roeser, treasurer; W<! IIY Stiles, secretary; George Shoemaker, historian ; Dick Coleman, chaplain ; and Ross Vogelgesang, wa rden.

Since the last issue of STAR AND LAMP we have held two initiations. The first one was held at Purdue on March 3rd, when Wally Stiles and George Shoemaker were ini tiated by our Omega brothers. At the second initiation, held at Illinois Tech. June 1st , Jim Vertin , Earl Parge, Bill Frey, Kreel Kass-

32

crman, Jim Kasserman, and Jim Pottenger were initiated with the aid of our Alpha Phi brothers. We are greatly indebted to our brothers from Omega and Alpha Phi fo r lending a hand to aid Upsilon in getting on its feet once again .

Five new men to wear the gold and whi te pledge pin arc: Nel Forrester, Hal Klotz, Lou Matusiak, Ralph Matusiak, and Tom Burgess.

Cadet Lieut. Col. Paul B. Phinney, retiring regimenta l com· mander of the University of Illinois R. 0 . T . C. brigade, was honored at the annual Federal Inspection when he received three awards, a saber from the Auxiliary To Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; a citation and fifty dollar award from the American Legion ; and a watch from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Paul has previously received two other awards fo r military excellence.

Upsilon is quite proud to report of its scholastic prowess. Last semester the actives came in fourth among 53 fraterni­ties on campus, but when our pledges came in first , we were given second place as a result of the combined averages. We hope to be able to keep up this fine record and shall aim to capture the scholastic achievement cup in future.

We are proud to report that Kreel Kasserman was initiated into Alpha Kappa Psi, Honorary Commerce Professional Fra­ternity, and Wally Stiles was initiated into Chi Gamma I ota, newly organized honorary for ex- G. I.'s.

We are losing, through graduation this summer, Bob Morris, who receives a degree in mining engineering; Gil Thrane, a degree in liberal arts and sciences; Ted Eble, his degree in architecture; and John Poppelrieter, a physical education de­gree. " Poppy" plans to stay over for his M. A.

Pi Kappa Phi is well represented in the different activi­ties on campus. We cooperated with Sigma Kappa sororitY in furnishing a stunt for the Red Cross carnival held in the University Armory. The stunt was very popular and was agreed by many to be one of the best. Prior to the Interfra­ternity Ball, at which Pi Kapps enjoyed themselves dancing to the music of Charlie Spivak, we held a banquet at the Y. M . C. A. Our other activities included a picnic, trips to Omega and Alpha Phi, and numerous get-togethers on week­ends.

We are anticipating a tri-chapter conclave with our Alpha Phi and Omega brothers at the Illinois-Purdue football game held in Lafayette on October 25.

The housing situation is still the greatest problem confront­ing us but we are striving to move forward regardless. ThiS was the subject of a discussion held with Bernie Jones, execu­tive secretary, and the Champaign alumni on May 26. Another meeting was held at the Bismark Hotel in Chicago, May 29, with Devereux Rice, National President, Bernie J ones, and the House Corporation. We are hoping that the housing situation eases soon so we can have an active group living under one roo f again .

Oregon State Alpha Zeta Alpha Zeta has enjoyed one of its busiest and most success­

fu l terms this spring. There have been many socia l events as well as the more serious business of studying.

The spring formal dance was held May 3, and was pro­nounced a big success. It was built around a theme of "Fiesta." Cacti, gourd strings, flower-draped archways, and ropes of flowers with se rapes and balloons provided an authentic back­ground. Refreshments, cream puffs, were served as tamales and punch was dispensed from a 200-pound cake of ice. In­dividual tab les grouped around a multi -colored fountain and a wishing we11 in the front lawn served as the "Cantina."

Guests for th~ for!flal dance i?cluded delegates from Alpha Delta at the Umvcrs1ty of Washmgton and the Pi Kappa Phi Club at University of Oregon. They were in Corvallis for the conclave which began Sunday morning following. The con­clave was a successful meeting as far as we are concerned for it served to draw closer together the brothers from the north and the south. ·

Early in the term we conducted an initiation for eight new members: Clyde Christman, Rodney Dallas, Robert Ellison Kenneth Hosler, John Jackson, Richard Luse, Robert Martin' and Fred Thoman. Elections at about the same time produced the following officers for the comin~ year: Melvin Knorr, archon ; Fred Thompson, treasurer ; Richard Luse, assistant treasurer; Jack Steward. secretary; Geor~e Jaska historian· Jackson Schenck, chaplain ; and Charles Markman: warden. '

OF PI KAPPA P,HJ Gathering at the Spring formal "Fiesta" of ' Alpha Zeta.

Among other social functions carried on by our chapter, we have had exchange dinners; a dessert honoring Alpha Phi, a new sorority begun at 0. S. C.; a fire side; Interfraternity Sing where we placed fifth in the competition; Mothers' Week­end when we entertained twenty mothers; Junior Weekend when we were hosts to over twenty high school seniors; and other campus activities.

On the serious side, our pledge class placed first on the campus in grade point averages for winter term. We have been conducting a concentrated rushing program. We are graduating four men in this term's commencement and have six more who are marrying during the summer, so there has been a two-fold reason for our rushing program.

Alpha Zeta is very much indebted to their alumni and to one man in particular, T . J . Starker of Corvallis. To show our appreciation of his unfailing service and sagacious advice, the membership has established the Starker Award, a trophy which is to be awarded every year to the outstanding sopho­more member. The member's name is engraved on the trophy which is kept in the den at the chapter house.

The first name on the award is that of Everett F . Thompson, sophomore in the pre-medical school. The award is based on house activities, campus activities, scholarship, and character. Thompson received the trophy from "Prof." Starker at a dinner in honor of the graduating seniors.

Selection for the award will be made every spring term by a vote of the membership.

At a dinner in honor of the eight new members of Alpha Zeta, the active members awarded a plaque to J. AI Head in recognition of his outstanding work in editing th~ Alpha Zeta "Service Stars," a publication designed to keep the actives and alumni in contact with each other while they were in the service. AI did a ll the work himself and kept the "Service Stars" in existence all during the war. The plaque will be hung in the den of the chapter house as a reminder to all the esteem and appreciation Alpha Zeta feels for this alum.

Alpha Zeta is windin~ up a very successful year with a sum­. mer rushing program that covers the whole state.

Washington Alpha Delta Spring quarter elections resulted in a complete administrative

shak~p in Alpha Delta Chapter. Our new officers headed by Archon Fred Thompson include Joe J chanson, secretary; Bob Willis, treasurer; Dave Alexander, historian; Bob Coffey, chaplain; and John Illias, warden. Appointments made by the new Archon have Secretary Joe Johanson and Chaplain Bob Coffey doubling as social chairman and scholarship chairman respectively. The duties of Pledge Warden have been taken over by our chapter advisor, Alex Adair.

Our spring quarter social events were concluded with our annual spring semi-formal held on May 24th. The dance, under the direction of Social Chairman Joe Johanson, proved to be the event of the year and was hailed by the Alums as one qf the best ever put on by Alpha Delta Chapter.

0 11')-ifune 1st, we welcomed three new brothers into the fraternity. The new members are William Lee Hamilton, Yakima, Washington; Walter Plagens, Enumclaw, Washing­ton; and William J. Maddow, Kettle Falls, Washington.

Although Alpha Delta Chapter will be absent from the Uni­versity of Washington campus during the summer, we wi ll be back in the fall bigger and stronp;er than we have been since we reactivated last fall. We have completed arrange­ments for a larger and better chapter house which will be our new home as of October first. The new house. a true fraterni­ty house, is a great improvement over the inadequate facili ­ties of the converted residence where we have been for the past year. It is just across the street from the north end of the campus on the corner of 16th and 45th. The address is 4504 16th Avenue, North East, Seattle 5, Washington.

Since the new house will accommodate about fifteen more nien than our present house, we held a special rushing program to fill some of the vacancies. With Tom Williams as chair­man, the program proved very successful and brought sixteen new pledges into the house. The neophytes include Rolf Bergstrom, Paul Brown, Clarence Cole, Howard Craven. Cliff Dally, Earl Dunning, Bill Jackson, Don Kelly, Gray Living-

Gamma Gamma is well on the road to take its former place high

among the ranks of fraternities on campus. Our chapter nold boasts the grand total of twenty-three active members an twelve pledges. Eleven of the actives were brought into thd fold on March 30. They include: Barold Simmons, Howar Leach, Jim Low, Charles Fitzsimmons, Warren Jensen, Tonr Pace, Jim Seiler, Earl Bradley, Roger Welty, Robert Zen1• and Ted Conway. The eight new pledges that have entered the house since the start of this term arc: Floyd Erickson~ Arnold Turner, William Proctor, Charles MacDonald, Fran Norris, George Lineer, Harland Ross, and Robert Hacker. .

New officers elected in April include: Harold L . SimmoA• archon; Ken Franklin, house manager and treasurer; Kent · Bullock, secretary; Robert F. Zeni, historian; Tony Pace, chaplain; and Warren Jensen, warden. They will reign for the remainder of this semester and in the fall.

Plans are already being formulated for the opening of our new chapter house at 2634 College Avenue. The furniture which had been in storage during the war years is being re· done, and we expect to reopen in September.

Although without a house we have been holding manY social functions throughout the term. They include numerou: rush luncheons and dinners. One of our most important events of the term was our recent picnic held ncar WalnU Creek, where swimming, ball playing, dancing, and eating werd enjoyed by all . Many members including Charles MacDon~ and Chu ck Fitzsimmons attended the recent Interfratern1.tY Ball held in San Francisco . One of the most enjoyable affair: of the term was our recent alumni dinner at the Hotel Stewar in San Francisco. Many alumni were present, and it was a~ honor for us to get acquainted with them that evening. AI these social activities were planned and carried out by Kell Franklin and his social committee.

5 Gamma has participated in most intramural fraternity sport including track, softball , and horseshoes. In the horsesh0d matches we have defeated about six houses and have enterc the semi-finals. Warren Jensen heads the ath!etic committee this term. .

It isn't a ll play and no work at Gamma. In the selll'[ annual scholastic bulletin of the Interfraternity Council 0

the University of California the actives were at the top of thC list among forty-odd fraternities on campus, with pledge~ high up in the ranks aloe.

Shortly before !he end of the year, Brother Jesse Doolittle professor of Mechanical Engineering, announced he had ac~ cepted a post at North Carolina State as head of the heat power division. Since his initiation as a faculty member May 28, 1933, Brother Doolittle's aid and guidance have car~ ried the chapter over many difficult hurdles. He has been an able and conscientious adviser, both to the chapter and to its individual members. He was instrumental in the reactivation of Alpha Mu, in spring '44, when we bad only one under­graduate brother (Charles "Chuck" Alcorn) on the campus. At a dinner given for Jesse and Mrs. Doolittle, the chapter presented him with a token of its appreciation for all he had done for us. We know that all Pi Kapps join us in wishing Jesse the best of everything in the future. -BILL QuAY AND RAY STROHM, acting historian and secretary
