Who Is ~~Best77 Member? By EXECUTIVE SECRETARY DURWARD W. OWEN

A! OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE of a Fraternity is often asked to name the "best" member of his organization. Need less to say, it is a most difficult question to answer and normally goes unanswered.

Recently, tl1is inquiry was repeated several times to me in the course of a few hours and left its imprint on my mind everal days later, I was doing considerable research involving a stt1dy of some of the past issues of The Star and La111P·

An article entitled "Tribute to a Brother" appeared interesting, so I read it in its entirety.

Pi Kappa Phi means many things to many people. I am certain that no one person has obtained all the lofty ideah as expressed in Pi Kappa Phi. A personal evaluation leaves me with the impression that the best Pi Kapp must certain!! encompass as many of the "eternal truths" of Pi Kappa Phi as is J.X>Ssible.

Further thought on the subject reveals, at least to me, that the best Pi Kapp should express, as a person, the foJioll' ing attributes: Humility, Loyalty, Charity, Love.

I don't think the Fraternity could condone the action of an Executive Secretary who would express personal preference for one Pi Kapp over others. However it is in his province to mention examples which we may em ulate. Such an examPle is found in Ensign \;I,Tilliam Freeny ("Bill" ) \;I,Tard, Epsilon '38, Davidson College. For those who were not privileged ~· know him personally, his last will and testament gives ample proof of his character traits, traits wh ich caused him to b< appreciated and admired by those who knew him.

Soon after he completed his will, he was reported by the avo Island during \Vorld War II.

Text of his will follows:

avy as missing in action when his ship was torpedoed o6

"1, William Freeny Ward, being of sound mind and body on this, the fourtl1 clay of October, the year of our Lo(ll nineteen hundred and forty-two and being under no duress or threat, do hereby write this my last letter, including my I a~ will, which shall be opened and exhibited upon delinite proof of my death.

"I do truly, earnestly and humbly thank my God that I was born and lived in a free country among free people wber~ sta family was respected and justice the foundation of law. I tha nk God for my home, th e peace and security that could prt of vail under any circumstance. za1

"May all men grow to embody the characteristics of rightness and fairness tempered with kindness, love and toleranci yo· that were my Father and Mother. May the generations to fo llow in the new free world for which I fought and died takl de some of the goodness and sweetness that is hers and the honesty and good companionship that is his w ith them fore1•er

" <lay my wife, who gave me such love and understanding as I had not thought J?OSsible, find a whole life that Gol has intended for her with a home and children to worship at her feet.

"May my brother build, as God has intended him to do, and crea te great new things in the new life.

"l\1ay my sisters find that happiness that can only come from within, in spite of all outside pseudo-joys.

"May my friends continue in a pleasant and world profitable way of life. I ask tl1is in God's name that iliere \~il be no more strife between nations.

"Amen.

"The sum of one dollar ($1 ) is to be paid to Cash W. Haggerty for a debt long overdue. Twenty-five dollars ($25 is to be paid to Fishburne Military chool, two hundred dollars ($200) is to be paid to Davidson ollege, and two bLl'' \1(7 dred dollars ($200) is to be paid to the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. tnl

"The latter tl1ree are gifts forever and freely given because of memories and friendships formed at these places.

"The rest of my worldly possessions are given to my wife, Hertie Mae Ward, to be used as she best sees fit, preferabh for the furtherance of the education of children who may be born to her in later marriage.

"To my wife, my fam ily, and my friends!

"I have fought and shed my life's blood to make you h appy. I will have died in vain if you grieve over-long for I11e my sacrifice is small and gladly given if I have accompl ished but a small part of the great job before all peoples.

C ;,ead tn the paper under date-line, "Washington, stat d., that Governor Mark Hatfield of Oregon had of e that . the "spiritual mobilization of the nation is zargre~~er tmportance than defense or economic mobili­yo~on. At th_is same meeting ( he was talking before den~gJeople 10 the nation's capital) he quoted Presi-

oodrow Wilson:

c· '.'1~he sum of the whole matter is this; that our lVI IZatio · · 11 I · · r d n cannot survive matena y un ess Jt IS

n s_t, and being made free and happy by the ~:~cb~es which spring out of the Spirit. Only thus li ft ~Iscontent be driven out, and all the shadows be

e from the road ahead."

Allegiance to God Is Necessary

~~s I . read this quotation by President Woodrow ing son, It seemed so appropriate today, as if it were be­--G spoken momentari ly. Let me quote a little further

overnor Hatfield went on to say:

in "The great American Ideal is certain ly centered ha and based upon a fundamental truth; that is, to Ill ve political freedom, men have to be governed to ore _than just by political institutions. If we are th e~Joy our liberties, we can only en joy them to se~ ullest when we find our faith, comm it our­th Ves, and give allegiance to an authority higher

an ourselves--and that is God."

ou;~ese qu_otations as I read them made me think of of y ratern,ty, and I wondered in my mind how many

ented. How many of you have recognized a need for spiritual help ? And then I went on to reflect in my own instance that although I had recognized the need for sp iritual help I did not apply it when I was an under­graduate. Therefore, the sooner you do, the sooner you succeed .

Church Attendance Urged

I would admonish all of you to put into practice at the undergraduate chapter level the thought of going to church together. If you cannot do it every Sunday, do it at least once a month. Always go to church together as a part of your formal initiation ceremony. Advise the minister of the church that you are coming, and he will recognize you. You wi ll be. su rprised how this will lift up your initiation ~eremony and g ive it the climax that it needs, and that 1t was mtended to have.

Do not hesitate to identify yourse lf as a Christian and a Pi Kappa Phi, for if you do both you will not on ly be assisting your Country in its _struggle ~gainst non­Christian influences but also you wdl be domg yourself a justice and in kind your Fraternity. I think there is no greater goal for a young man, or for that matter an alumnus, to reach than to recognize the need for spiritual guidance and to ide~tify_ him_self thus ly .. Through such a spiritual mobtlizatiOn m P1 Kappa ~h1, I know that we as individuals w t!l benefit and 111 turn we as a Fraternity and as a Nation wi ll benefit from the actions of you men.

I h~Ay, PA 1961

Communism too much credit for the current wave of student rebe lli on, and have given too litt le to the students themse lves. After all , if a fea r of mandatory loyalty oaths, a fee ling that compulsory ROTC is unnecessary, and a conviction that nuclear weapons should be banned, are indicat ions of Communist sym­pathy, then we can damn large numbers of educators, mi litary leaders, and theologians too. If these are a ll to be in the same boat, it had better be a large boat. [BROTHER OWEN'S COMMENT: The pt·agmatic ideals of James, as well as tbe materialistic thougbts of Marx, Huxley. etc., seem to be directed towards the all imfJortant "e11d t·esults," atld the method of app,·oaching this end, hc111ing little- con­sequence. Tbe modem "libet·al" thought seems to be guided by this same expressiml. l disagree and violently so.

To o[1pose compulsory military trainh1g as a mal/er of princifJal is PI'O/Jet· fot· the individual so inclined, hower•er. the t·emlting dett·iment to our nation, if overtly expressed, cannot be condoned, even if the opposition is delt'imental to the end t·esult of "ft·eedom of thought."

To oppose the cellsm·e of a professor for teaching "free lot;e' · is all right if an individual is so h1clined to fJractice same. Howevet·, if as a by-/Jroduct of his o[Jposition, we are endanger­ing the m orals, health, respect, etc., of our young people, and also et·eating a correspondh1g decline of the family tmit, then l must contend that the stimulation of thought as an end result is 110t jttStified.}

You are quite correct when you say that students are "easiest to tempt." This makes freedom of thought all the more neces­sary during co llege. This is the time for a Jot of ideas, some good and some bad. The problem is not to protect the student from these ideas, but to deal w ith them openly, to help the student Jearn to judge what is good and what isn't . It is not enoug h to keep him from thinking for four years, in hopes that he wi ll be too busy and too happy to think later .

Fratern ities, ou rs among the rest, are losing ground precisely because they do not encourage fresh new views. D o you really want the idea listi c, rad ica l boy to turn his ideas and efforts to good use? Then make the fraternity a haven for new ideas and a place where young minds ca n sift va lues and decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. And always keep before your young minds the fact that trad itions must be a back­g round for thought; they must not rep lace it.

It is good to fee l that our fraternity is g iving such problems thoug ht, and I can only hope that action wi ll be fitted to this thought. The fraternity system is under attack, but it can win the support of educa tors very simply, by showin~ that it is wholehearted ly behind the goal of ed ucators: the st1mulatt0n of thoug ht among the young people who are best equipped for it .

District Conclaves Span the Nation DISTRICT I CHAPTERS will not hold their Con­

clave until December 2. Conflicting campus affairs prevented the holding of the Conclave during the Spring of the year as is customary.

District II Chapters met in Philadelphia, with Alpha Upsilon as host. Alumni participation was most gratify­ing. New District President Robert Lambert was in charge, with this being his first official function as District President of District II. Several representatives of District I attended also.

The District III Conclave, under District President Jesse Fisher, was well attended, with more than 130 undergraduates and alumni represented. A highlight of this Conclave was Brother Dick Young's address at the final banquet. Here are excepts from this speech:

"If I were to have a text, I would take it from a recent report of Brother Loeffler, one of our Traveling

Traveling Counselor Bill Loefller presided over the sessions of District VII Conclave held at Beta Omicron, Northwestern State College, in March.

Counselors, who gave his impressions of a visit 1' chapter houses in various parts of the .country. One oi the important impressions he said he gained on many ol those chapter visits was the lack of regard for tP' Fraternity's Ritual. He was disturbed by the careless ~oo slipshod manner in which, at some p laces, the initiattOf was put on.

"The report disturbed me, too. The Ritual of oo! Fraternity is the foundation stone on which our Orde is built. It is surely one of the Fraternity's fundamental5, Ritual provides the pattern of our brotherhood-all orde in every phase of our life, functionings in the phystC1

and material world, are based on ritual. The metho­of our very breath ing is a ritual of life.

"Our ritual presents the ideals of our Fratern ity 1'

envisioned by our Founders nearly three score year ago, and it exemplifies the qualities and attributes ~· character which we require for membership. At ' times it should be earnestly and sincerely approacheJ seriously and solomnly presented so that the neophyte through dignity and poise of presentation, will ]ea11

what is· required of a true brother.

"In our Fraternity we have been taught the lessons o: Truth and Friendship, and when we see the Truth-tP· real value of life-and appreciate Friendship one W1~ the other, we are exercising the fundamentals that undel gird our association together.

"We must set examples of good morals by standiot up for what we have been taught as right and for wh1

we as men know to be right by condemning all for~ of dishonesty and cheat ing and in our own lives aV01

ing the appearance of evil.

"By that I don 't mean that we are to be sissy pat11' because men of honor, of courage, and of integrity ]1a'·

Alpha Psi Chapter furnished four neophytes for the initiation and also ran off with all awards.

District IX met at Beta Iota Chapter in Toledo, Ohio. There the Toledo Alwnni hosted a fine social, and Brother Kim Jepson underwent his official baptism as the new District President for District IX.

Under District President Vern Sodawasser, District X met at Des Moines, Iowa. This Conclave devoted much time in a seard1ing study of the various aspects of Swnmer rush.

Alpha Zeta at Oregon State served as host for the District XI Conclave. Beta Theta Chapter traveled 1,600 miles to be represented. Highlights of this conclave were an address by Dean Dan Poling of Oregon State, and the presentation to Gamma Chapter of the qistrict XI Scholarship Trophy.

Fifty-Six Years of Service!

THE PROPORTION OF ALUMNI in Pi Kappa

Phi who remain interested after college days is proba­bly as good or better than in most other Fraternities. If you scan our membership list, you will find many ten-year men, a smaller number of twenty-five-year men, a scattering of thirty­five-year men , but how many fifty-six-year men? Herman Cole!!

Brother Fud1s has bt come an expert collector ol postage stamps. One roolf in his home is devoted ti his collections from ar over the world.

Two Sons Are Pi Kapps

Brother and Mrs. Fuchs live in Brooklyn, N. Y. They have two sons, Robert, who attended Rensselaer Poly­technic Institute and became a member of Alpha Tau Chapter in 1932, and Frederick Edward, who went to Georgia Tech and joined Iota Chapter in 1933.

Shortly after the forming of Psi Sigma, Brother Fuchs was elected Treasurer of the chapter in 1901, and again in 1902 and 1903. In 1904 he became President.

Later, when the Fraternity was incorporated , he served as a Director from 1908 to 1912. He became President of the corporation in 1911, and served as Treasurer from 1907 to 1910. He has since served as Treasurer of the corporation from 1916 to 1960. One of our amateur statisticians has figured Brother Fuchs has handled and accounted for more than $100,000 during the period of his service.

In 1951, Brother Fuchs and the other founders of Psi igma were given a testimonial dinner.

His College Activities Were Varied

Brother Fuchs was equally active in the extra-curricular activities at Poly. He was class Treasurer from 1902 to 1904, and held the same office in the Chemical Society. He acted in the Poly Play of 1901 (feminine part in "A Night Off"), served on the Midwinter Ball Committee, and was a member of the editorial board of The Poly­tecbnic, the college magazine.

A_s UNDER-SECRE-TARY OF THE

TREASURY in the Ken­nedy administration, Broth­er Henry H. Fowler, Xi '27, Roanoke College, will probably find his debating prowess developed at Roa­noke College still of great benefit in Washington.

Brother Fowler was "a member of probably the most outstanding of many debate teams to represent the College," a story in the February issue of Th e Roanoke Collegian declared. in 1929.

Brother Henry H. Fowler

The team was undefeated

In glancing over the 1929 edition of The Rawenoch, one can find such designations beside his name as: Editor and Sports Editor of the Brackety-Ack, President oF the Hi-Y, Vice-Pre.sident of his class, Secretary-Treas­urer of the General Athletic Association, President of the Roanoke Club, Special Honor Student in English, member of Tau Kappa Alpha, Debater, member of Pi Kappa Phi, German Club, Basketball and Baseball squads, and member of Harlequins.

"His climb to national importance has been steady since leaving the campus," the Collegian pointed out. "He went on to earn his law degree at Yale University and begin law practice in Washington. From 1936 until 1946 he held many important government positions under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman."

A native of Roanoke, Va. , Brother Fowler returned to governmental work in 1951 as Deputy Administrator of the National Production Board. Later, he became head of the Defense Production Administration, and in 1952 he was appointed Chief of the Office of Defense Mobili­zation, a position he held u11til the end of the Truman administration.

For the -past several years, he has been senior partner in the law firm of Fowler, Leva, Hawes, and Symington in Alexandria.

Brother Fowler is a member of the Board of Trustees of Roanoke College, having served since 1954.

Other activities include Rotary, Lansing and Michig1n Chambers of Commerce, City Club, Elks, and the Lans­ing River Improvement Committee.

"In my spare time (during trout season there is spare time) you'll find me fishmg ... and when there 's no fishing, my hobbies are woodworkmg and filling inside straights."

Broadway Sign [(ing!

Brother Douglas leigh

ATT ENTION-GET-TING is indeed big

business. Competition for the attention of the Amer­ican public is steadily in­creasing in intensity. But getting attention for clients is superbly accomplished by a man who has won for himself the cognomen of "Sign King of Broad­way." This master of the spectacular is Brother Douglas Leigh, Alpha Ep­silon '26, University of Florida.

The August 14 issue of The American Weekly carried an article by Thomas J. Fleming, entitled "How They Catch Your Eye," with a second deck, "Signs of the Times Are Clever-and Ex­pensive."

In this article, based on an interview with Brother Leigh, the author learned that a spectacular sign costs from $25,000 to a third of a million dollars.

To the interrogation, "What makes people stop and look at a sign?'' Brother Leigh explained that motion gets eight to ten times as much attention as a static sign. With light and color added, "you have the ulti­mate in an attention-getting device. Then you hold all the elements together with a specific rhythm and the effect is complete."

Size was given as the main element, with nothing less than a thousand feet necessary for a spectacular.

Brother Leigh said his ideas come from everywhere -a newspaper story, children blowing bubbles, water­falls, horses, pets, pretty girls, babies.

From the time the idea is conceived until it is sketched and refined is usually two months. The building and erection can take from two to six months.

The length of time signs can be effective varies. The smoke rings blowing out of a cigarette company

spectacular have provided identification and attention for 18 years.

Mr. Leigh pointed out that in one respect a sign is like a play. "With a changing audience and good drama, it will run and run. One Coca-Cola sign, which gives the weather and temperature, has been up for 22 years. That's more than four times the run of 'South Pacific.' We give the sign a face lifting just to modernize it, but recently we were forced to rebuild it completely - the mechanism wore out."

Brother Leigh's signs are animated in a variety of ways, ranging from a series of fl ashing lights to a completely animated story.

"What do the 1960's hold for spectacular signs?" Mr. Fleming asked.

"Advances in electronics, paints, and plastics will open up unrealized advances in the field. We may find buildings erected as spectaculars, in the form of a soap

By Traveling Couns~lor Bill Loeffler

There are many reasons why a strong chapter becomes weak and a weak one remains poor instead of progress­ing. In my visits to Pi Kapp chapters throughout the country, I have found that nothing will replace a strong, well-planned pledge training program as the basis for building a strong chapter.

The problems of poor leadership and administration, lack of organ ization, and the inability to solve chapter problems in many cases can be traced back to the pledge days of present members. If the pledge training given men is poor, then it is not unusual for them to become poor fraternity members.

Pledge training is a period in which the pledge is expected to learn about the history and traditions of the fraternity, its aims and ideals, chapter operations, and the functions of the various officers and committees of a chapter. If harassment of the pledge takes the place of instruction and testing, the result is a pledge who knows little about the fraternity, and, because he is not aware of the full value of fraternity membership, tends to neglect his chapter and the national organization.

Good pledge training will reduce the amount of time necessary for a new initiate to become familiar with the workings of the chapter. A new initiate should be able to asswne positions of authority and responsibility soon after his initiation instead of waiting out a time lag while learning how the chapter operates.

Pledge training is progressive. If the proper spirit is instill ed in a pledge at the beginning, this spirit will carry over to future pledges. Also, the products of a good program will be prepared to see that good pledge train ing is carried on in the future, thus insuring a con­tinuance of good leadersh ip and knowledge of fraternity operations.

Good pledge train ing takes time, planning, and organi­zation, but the benefits to be derived over the years make it essential for sound chapter operation.

Univel G

ALPHA OMEGA at the University of Oregon is beinE reinforced by an auxiliary composed of mothers,

fathers, wives, alumni, and friends-all dedicated to the comfort and welfare of the chapter.

At the invitation of The Star and Lamp, Mrs. I. ~j Weikel of Corvallis, Oreg. , mother of Brother Nel Weikel, has given highlights of the auxiliary's activitieS·

"To start a group such as we have, there needs to _be a very clear and pressing reason," Mrs. Weikel sa1d· "Mine was to keep a roof over my son's head, see thai he had good food such as a fraternity cook can prepare, and see that his Greek affiliation stayed with him."

Chapter Needed Help

Mrs. Weikel and Mrs. Eva Graves realized that the house could be operated to the advantage of the chapte~ if some help were given. There were other motbe~' and also fathers and alumni who felt the same way. Th15

was when the auxiliary was organized.

"We don 't call ourselves a Mothers' Club," lvfrS· Weikel explained. "We are the Auxiliary of Pi KapP.' Phi, and anyone who wants to give a helping hand 15

welcome. We have dues of $2 (or more, we hope) 1

year.

"With a group composed of people from all over th1

state and out of state, it's hard to have regular meeting~ but they soon fall into sort of a pattern. We have oot Fun WeeR: End in the Fall, with a week end at the bea~' in the Graves' cabin. This is for alumni and the11

families and the undergraduates. It is held just before college starts, and just before Fall Rush. It is very va1°j able. Wonderful alumni come, and they have sparke the boys into great enthusiasm for the coming year. 1'1'1

seen these men talk to the boys the way their own fatheP couldn't-discussions, stori~s of college days; its wondet· ful for everyone. Fathers' Week End in FebruarY· Mothers' Week End in May, and a Summer work meel: ing seem to be our best bets. Small working meeting' are called whenever necessary, and people come togethf1

for money-making projects.

Group Sets Goals

"A group with a set goal accomplishes the most. T~d: we have always had. At the May meeting we deC! what the house needs most desperately, and then 'IV'

District President

Earns Award pRESENTATION of the "Outstanding District Presi-

dent Award of the Year" was made to Brother Robert Crossley, President, District I at the February meeting of the New York Alumni Chapter. Brother Ralph Noreen, former National Treasurer, made the presentl­tion.

Brother Crossley was chosen to receive the award be­cause of his sincere interest in Pi Kappa Phi and more particularly for his very active participation in the affairs of the undergraduate chapters in his district. The pres­entation was made before a group of Pi Kappa Phi alumni in Luchow's Restaurant, East 23rd St., New York City ..

This award has been in effect for 12 years; however, the requirements for awarding it are so high that this is only the second time it has been presented to anyone. About 10 years ago, Brother J. Al. Head, now National President, was the first recipient.

The New York Alumni meet the third Friday of each month at Luchow's. Any alumni in New York at that time are cordially invited to join the group for luncheon at 12:30 p.m.

Youngest State Senator? "A Lincolnite whose wealth of governmental experJ·

He was referring to Brother Marvin E. Stromer, N~· U nivers ity of Nebraska, 27-year-old member of the 1961

Nebraska Legislature. Brother Stromer was elected to his first term last November at the age of 26. A rne!ll' ber of the only unicameral legislative body in the Uni ted States, he is very likely the youngest senator now servin8

Honors for Chi Brother

Brother W. R. Allen

BROTHER WILLIAM REYNOLDS ALLEN,

Chi '58, Stetson University, brought many honors to his fraternity during his college career.

Hailing from Wauchula, Fla., Brother Allen began his college career impres­sively enough by being named '' Outstanding Freshman Man" at Stetson. Next came hi.s selection as President of the Sophomore Class, Key Member of the Stetson Glee Club, Vice-President of the Baptist

Student Union, and Chairman of the Diamond Jubilee Homecoming Committee. Other honors include: Out­standing Junior Cadet, Scabbard and Blade, President of Omicron Delta Kappa, President of Men's Council, and election to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

Brother Allen was also on either the Honor Roll or the Dean's List every semester during his four years at Stetson.

At graduation exercises in June, 1960, he was named Distinguished Military Student, recipient of the Paffon Award given to the Outstanding Male on Campus, and recipient of the Sullivan Award.

A most fitting climax to Brother Allen's outstanding college career was his selection as the Most Outstanding College Student in the southeastern United States.

In the future, Brother Allen plans to attend graduate school to prepare for a career as either a college teacher or an administrator. At the present, he is a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army Military Intelli­gence Service.

Tackle Ken Rice of Auburn

Auburn Tackle Is Stellar Performer HE MADE EVERY ALL-AMERICA team picked

this year! We are speaking of Brother Kenneth Earl ("Ken")

Rice, Alpha Iota, a senior at Auburn University. He was also SEC Lineman of the Year, offense and defense, and played in East-West game. Norm Carlson, Auburn's Sports Publicity Director, informed The Star and Lamp that Brother Rice is now top draft choice of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Buffalo Bills.

Brother Rice, who comes from Bainbridge, Ga., is 21 years of age, 6 feet 2, and weights 250 pounds. The Auburn Football Brochure pointed out that he carries his weight so solid ly that he looks like about a 220-pounder.

He is the Southern Prep weightli fting champion with brute strength but also has the speed of a fullback, the position he p layed in high school. His speed, power, and agility make him a natural any place, be it offense or defense. His movements and actions remind most of former Kentucky All-America Tackle Lou Michaels, the brochure stated . He represented Football Writers' All-America team on Perry Como television show last year.

Dark-skinned and an avid outdoorsman, he would rather hunt and fish in spare time than do anything else.

A year ago he married his college tutor and completely straightened out scholastic problems in the process.

Trail of Tradition pi KAPPA PHI is indebted to Brother Robert F. "$_·

Meader, Alpha Tau '35, Rensselaer PolytechniC Institute, for two more addit ions to the Fraternity's col· lection of pins and fledge buttons of fraternities which were predecessors o chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Meader's donations are the pins and pledge buttons of Delta Sigma an~ Beta Psi.

Brother Meader wrote the National Office that

@ during hi s freshman year, 1925, at Middlebury Col· lege, Middlebury, Vt. , )Je

· was asked to join a small Delta Sigma Pledge Button group of boys in founding

a new fraternity as there seemed to be a g rowing

need for another chapter on the campus. Thus Delta Sigma was created.

"For the life of me, I cannot recall the roster of officers, nor even many of its small membership! I

Delta Sigma Pin

do recall that I was the secretary of it. I also de· signed the badge and wrote the ritual. We were recog· nized as a local fraternit)' March 8, 1926, by the col· lege authorities.

;·we conti nued alon8 with somewhat indifferent

success for two years, being occasionally courted b)' nationals. At last, Beta Psi, a small national of, if I re· call correctly, largely the Northeast, evinced a consider· ab le interest in us. Eventuall y, June 9, 1928, we were received into Beta Psi as their Delta Beta Chapter.

" In the Fall of 1929• Beta Psi moved out of itS fratern ity rooms in the vii· lage of Middlebury- per· fo rce, since in Febm ary oJ that year a bad .lire ha burned out the fraternit)' com pletely. A few pieces of furniture were mira(l!'

chapter amalgamated with Pi Kappa Phi April 30, 1935· The chapter at Middlebury had previously lost its hm~se, ,tnd by now most of its membership . The depress10d killed off many fraternities. I had been the Secon

CHAPTER NEWS

"OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING! Oh, wha t a beautiful day!" We trust that everything's goi ng Pi Kappa Phi's way!

Fifty-one chapters and our two colonies have given us high­lights of their activities, so let's take a quick vis it to the various groups by way of their reports .

ALPHA, COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON In December, in an impressive ceremony performed before

a distinguished gathering of alumni, Cadet Ben Covington, III, of the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, and Myrtle Beach,

. C., was initiated as an associate member of the chapter. A reception was held in the Saint John's Hotel following the ceremony.

The following men were initiated in February: James Melchers, David Heisser, Henry Strobel, Ronald Bright, Edward Burbage, and Roy Clifton, all of Charleston, S. C. At about the same time, Richard Dame and Wi lliam Runyon, Charleston, were pledged.

Alpha has rented a house across the street from the college campus.

When this report was submitted, p lans were in the making to hold the District IV Conclave in Charleston March 18, with Founders Harry Mixson and Simon Fogarty and· National Secretary Ben Covington, Jr., scheduled to speak.

BETA, PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE Historian Fred Brown of Beta reported that second semester

Rushing 'brought the chapter nine new pledges: Gordon May­hugh, okesville, Va.; Ford Henley, Cheraw, S. C.; Wayne Deess, Hazlehurst, Ga.; Bill Rolin, Columbia, S. C.; James Salvo, Summervi lle, S. C.; Larry Popell, Albany, Ga.; Richard Bulloch, Eastman, Ga.; Floyd Fuller, Clinton, S. C., and Ron Burriss, Anderson, S. C.

GAMMA, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA "Gamma has been great ly stimulated by two fraterna l events

in the past months," Historian D avid Larson wrote. "Brother Owen paid us a visit in November. He created much en­thusiasm and left the entire house with a lasting impression of the prominent role the National Office plays in stimu lating the fraternal spirit among both Pi Kapp undergraduates and a lumni. In December, at the District Conclave at Corvallis, Oreg., Gamma received further instructions on fraternal management.··

Recently Gamma initiated Richard Gena, Daly City, Calif., and Ralph Vatalaro, Fresno, Calif.

DELTA, FURMAN UNIVERSITY Delta's Historian, Brother Stuart Skadden, has annou nced

the following men as pledges: Charles Graham, Akron , Ohio;

February 4, the Dean of Men at Eol! Carolina State College gave Pi Kappa Ph1

Fraternity permission to colonize. Brothel Wayne Scott, a recent graduate of th• University of North Carolina and a rnenl' ber of Kappa Chapter, agreed to enter East Carolina State and to serve os colonizer. The evening of February S, four days later, Kappa Phi local fraternitY was born with six charter members . 11

is interesting to note that Brother Scoff was able to pledge these men without the benefit of other membe rs working_... for there we re none ; without large suJIIl of money-for there were none; without a house-for there was non e .

The charter members are , le ft to right, Brothe rs Maurry Simpson, Paul Brewed Dan Ray, Ed Fulford, Wayne Scott, on Chester Boone.

0t lie other campus activities and organizations are

necessary talent.

Unsung hero of many a fraternity house-the cook. But at Kappa, it's different. Gracie is the heroine of the culinary depart­ment. Her fine meals are a constant joy to the members of the chapter, to say nothing of guests.

Concerning scholarsh ip, it is a lleged that the emphasis is on the grade and the individual's contribution to the fraternity average, but not upon what · he learns. To an extent this is true, but only because of the emphasis on grades currently inherent in coll ege life. The fraternity does not, however, press for a high overall average at the expense of a brother's free­dom. Mass study hours are not invoked, nor are periodic checks made on brothers' grades, and this freedom has still kept Mu 01apter in the top four fraternities on campus. The concern of the scholarship committee is directed at the in­dividual , with tutoring among the brothers available if an individual encounters scholastic difficulty. Study and assistance are left to the person's own initiative. Individual awards for scholastic achievement are maintained by the chapter as incentive to high scholastic honors.

Athletically speaking, sports, particularly the intramural program, are an excell ent outlet for pent-up energy, and another example of individuals working together as a team.

Perhaps the most. perennial argument against fraternities is the socia l life of a fraternity man, because this, after all, is their reason for being. It is believed that he is constantly surrou nded by a social life that demands an excessive amount of time. The answer is that fraternities provide the best oppor­tunity for a man to reach his social potential , but they do not demand that he exploit the opportunity. .

Rush is the one goal that is mutually important for every member of a fraternity. Because new members are the life­blood of the fraternity, it is to the best interests of the chapter and consequently to each brother that individual members take an active part in the Rush program. Rush is a required activity, yet it is to everyone's advantage because brothers are required to come out of themselves, to make contact with new people, and develop techniques of conversation.

That the fraternity tries to make the most of an individual's ability and talent, and encourages the expression of it, is backed by the fact that M u has for many years been one of the most active fraternities in campus leadership . Our motto for this past year has been "Unification thr~ugh Diversification." By this we mean that we are ab le to wcorporate every type of individual into a unified group. We have 56 active brothers, a pledge class of 27 (the largest on campus) this _semester, and are one of the largest chapters at Duke. In others of this size, there are definite cliques apparent to even the most casual

21

observer. There are none in Mu Chapter, and we are proud of this fact. This type of unity is stressed from the beginning of a man's association with Pi Kappa Phi because it is an integral part of our pledge training program. nity is stressed to pledges in everything they do-from work parties, to raids, to fun and games sessions-at all times, they are expected to work as a unified group of individuals, a team. Because this is such a basic point, it naturally carries over into active fraternity life.

NU, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

Archon Warren Hill of Nu, University of Nebraska, is happy to report that an active alumnus of the chapter, Brother Marvin Stromer, at the age of 27, has been elected to the

ebraska tate Senate. Another Pi Kapp who is active in the alumni group is Brother J. Benton White, an a lumnus of Omicron, L'niversity of Alabama, who is Assistant Director of the \X'esley Foundation at the University of Nebraska.

The chapter's annual Christmas Party was a big success, alnng with several functions with sororities and the annual dance after the Help Week activities. Another annual party that was great as usual was the pledge party. The theme was beatnik. and several unusual costumes were seen in attendance. During Help Week the upstairs halls acquired a much needed new coat of paint. The Mothers' Club met recently and made some good suggestion for house improvement.

Recently Nu initiated Ron Beers, Grand Island , Nebr.; Eugene Buglewicz, cottsbluff, Nebr.; Roger Dingeman, Spearfish, S. D. ; Ron Licht, Hooper, Nebr.; Bill Webster, Hastings, Nebr., and Dick \X1illiams, Omaha, Nebr.

OMEGA, PURDUE UNIVERSITY

Omega, Purdue University, elected Miss Marianne Lasson, Chicago, Ill. , to reign as Rose Ball Queen this year.

OMEGA'S GRID STARS

By Brother Hugh M. ·Flanagan

The Boilermakers of Purdue University ranked fifteenth among the nation's foo-tba ll teams thi s school year and has the distinction of being the only team to defeat the Minnesota Gophers, the nationa.l champs . Omega Chapter is proud of the four men it had on the Purdue team.

Senior quarterback, Brother J oseph G. Prest, a 5'10", 170-pound, 21-year-o ld from Follansbee, W . Va., is majoring in Poli tical Science and plans to en ter law school upon grad uation this June. "Jo-Jo" has spent three full years on the team and still maintained a respectable scho·lastic record . Pres t's favorite play was the opt ion play which worked for good yardage aga inst Indiana Univers ity in the fi nal game of his college career.

Prest attended Steubenville High School in Ohio where he a lso received letters in baskeuball and baseball. Joe holds the high school record in Ohio for the most nwnber of touchdown passes thrown in a three year period-41.

Junior Kennetli Lewis Kraus won a major letter as a sophomore tackl e for the Boilermakers. The 6'2", 200-pou nder from Louisvill e, Ky., recetved, however, a knee injury early in the Fall and was "out of commission" for some time. Kenny a 20-year-old Industrial Economics student, is present ly treasure;. of Omega.

Kraus' best game to date bas been the Purdue-Wisconsin game of the 1959 season when the Boilermakers upset the Badgers 28-0. Kenny's high schoo l days were spent at St. Xavier, and concerning next season, indications are that Kraus w ill be an appreciated member of the first unit.

Probably .most outstanding of any sophomore fullback to visit Purdue is P ledge T homas John Yakabowski. Tom racked up the enviable record of grea ter than 4 yards per carry, saw

23

action in every game, and scored four touchdowns. He was second leading ground gainer of the entire Purdue team.

tatistically speaking, "Yak" is 6'0", 210 pounds, and 20-years of age His major is physical education.

In high school at Adena, Ohio, Tom won 11 letters and was captain of all three sports: football, baseball and basketball. "Big Train" al o made all-state baseball as a catcher.

There is little doubt that the stocky figure of "Yak" will be grinding out yardage again next fall.

Sophomore guard, Brother Joseph Eugene Bonar, failed to see action this year in any varsity clashes, but hopes are up for next season. Joe is a 6'1", 198-pound physical education major from Bellaire, Ohio. In high school , Joe was on the All-Ohio team and also ran track.

ALPHA EPSILON, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

econd semester at Alpha Epsilon began with the tmtlatton of eight pledges, Dick Barden, Henry Clay, Teddy Kay, Don Quick, Joe chaefer, ed Service, and two Bill Whites, and one alumnus, George Register, Jacksonville, Fla., according to Historian Bill Pierson.

"We have always tried to rush on ourselves, not on in­tangibles , uch as past history, proud as we are of ou r past," Historian Pierson declared. "With a drawing of a new house in the living room, it's easy to point to it and say, That's Pi Kappa Phi a year from now. This is not true, Pi Kappa Phi is a brotherhood, a fraternity, and not a building, and I'm happy to be able to report that we haven ' t forgotten it in ·pite of having a new house 'on the way.' "

ALPHA ZETA, OREGON STATE

"We have had two initiations this year," so says a report from Alpha Zeta, Oregon State. "At the one October 9, 1960, we initiated James Moss, Nyssa, Oreg., and Cliff tephenson, alem, Oreg. At the one January 22, we initiated

Robert Brock from Los Angeles, Calif., and Robert Thompson from Reedsport, Oreg.

"December 2 and 3, the annual D istrict XI Conclave was held at Alpha Zeta. We were honored to have National Presi­dent ]. AI. Head and Executive Secretary Durward Owen as guest speakers."

We had a fine intramural football team this year which won the league championship. We also had a fine basketball team which suffered only one defeat, dropping us to second place in the league. Also we have set up a year- long athletic rivalry with our brothers from Alpha Omega at University of Oregon. Contests in basketball , bowling, softball , and track are planned, and a football game has already been played whid1 we were fortunate enough to win, 33-0. The competition creates a keen competitive spirit but at the same time allows us to become

24

better acquainted with our brothers of the neighboring chapter­We also played our pledges, and in a rough, exhausting con· test, the members came out on top of a hard-fought 43-12 dt cision. Two pledge-member basketba ll ga mes have been tht ath letic feature of this term; the members taking the first on< by a score of 39-28, and the pledges the second by 46-38.

Recently our pledges, accompanied by a recent initiate, JlOD ("King of H earts" ) Thompson, had a walk-out. They caught the members by surprise and efficientl y dismantled the ]louse After enjoyi ng a " loose" week end in Eugene, they returned to the house to be greeted back by a little work party.

Final plans for our Spring term Rose Ball have been passeJ by the college, and the annual dance wi II take place on a river steamer on the Columbia River, out of Port land.

Alpha Tau was pleased with the visit of Traveling Counselor Jim Lloyd; but regrets that more time could not have been spent with him as he arrived during finals week.

ALPHA UPSILON, DREXEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

FRATERNALISM-AN INDELIBLE MARK By Brother Mario lavicoli

The true va lue of fraternities in prtsent-day college li fe is not realized by those forces bent upon discrediting the·Greek­letter orga ni za tions; consequently, some people have formed a negative conce~t of frate~nities. Actuafly, the attitude of fraternity men 1S more senous at;d ·~~ture than .most people wou ld imagine. We feel that an tndlvldual who JS capable of constructively evaluating his surroundings .and. his fellow mao is one of society's greatest assets. Fratern1ty life offers a man the necessary opportunities to develop means for making such eva luations.

Many men, upon graduation reali7e that they have missed the meaning of college. We must admtt that our pnmary purpose here at Drexel is to obtain an education; however, ed ucation is not limited merely to the text. ~here are many ingredients that go into a well balance? educat1~nal d1.et.

Let us start with leadersh1p, a quality whiCh many men Jack, but could obtain with .effort. There are. '!lllny . effie~, committee headships chairmansh ipS and other pOSitions tn whiCh a person can dev~lop leadership abi lity .. Almost every n:'an who graduates at one time or another wtll ha~e men workmg under him The abi li ty to control these men dtplomatlcall~ could be obta.ined in a fraternity. .

Those men who enjoy competing in athletiCs could p lay in the interfraternity league which provides enj oyment and keen competition along with healthful exercise. . .

It is interesttng to note that the fratermty we1ghed "average is above the Drexel all men's average. As you know, there is a rule established by the fratermt1es that states that a freshman ;11ust have at least a 70 weighted average before he can receive a bid.

25

Deans often cbme in handy. Dean Abner Hansen at Florida Southern, left, lent a hand or two in painting Beta Beta's totem pole.

Each term, the fraternities have enjoyable socia l schedu les with such events as the Interfraternity Ball , pring Week Ends, Mothers' Day Teas, Greek Week End, House Parties, and numerous other events. The fraternities also support all of Drexel's extra-curricular activities.

Another benefit which on ly a fraternity can offer is brother­hood. Brotherhood is a friendship, companionship, respect, loyalty, all wrapped into one. It is an intangible substance which cannot be explained, but is something of which it is great to be a part and to share. This brotherhood is the soul of fraternalism.

ALPHA PHI, ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Construction of Alpha Phi's new house at Illinois Institute of Technology is progressing rapid ly. Prospects are that the house will be ready for occupancy in September. Located at 3333 S. Wabash, the four threes shou ld be good for rushing purposes and for general identification.

Archon Dick Gregory is finishing his term as Illinois Tech Student Association Pre;ident. His "reign" as head of the students has been filled with revisions a nd improvements . Both the brothers and the school have commended him highly for the job he has done. Hopes are high that Past Historian D ale Rolf sen will become Editor of the school weekly, 'I' echr1ology News.

ALPHA PSI, UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA

The brothers of Alpha Psi, University of Indiana, have been busy comJ;>leting plans for a complete re-organization. To help with this re-organization, the chapter met with its Alumni Executive Counci l and Executive Secretary Durward Owen for a week end of discussions. Along this re-organ ization theme, the brothers threw themselves whole-hearted ly into a ll chapter activities. Evidences of this new spirit are their winning the attendance trophy at District Conclave for 100 per cent attendance at all meetings, completion of a chapter news­letter, and election of a new slate of officers who are dedicated to the idea ls of Pi Kappa Phi.
