Jazzing Up Education

P ROFESSOR \ iVILLTt\M J. NEWLIN, of Amherst, viewing the tendency of modern

days, giv s ex pre ion to this sentiment, "\ \ ' e must jazz up education with a lipst ick and rouge."

The difficulty with the times i that o much jazz has sounded in the ears of youth that it is seldom the beautiful harmonies of the verities of life are audible. There has been too much of the freedom of youth, who has stormed the fort­ress of education and demanded in positive tones "Gimme, gimme." This a ll giving and no re~ turning is bad practice, especially is it bad for those who receive, and give nothing in return.

Youth shou ld be taught to see that the thing of the old, often scorned and laughed at, are sacred and worthy of consideration of men big and strong. Youth should be taught respect for the dignity and worth of the trad ition and history of the past, which offer direction into the paths of fuller living.

Pi Kappa P hi i an institution built on these everlasting virtues of human conduct. Its in -

spiration li es in brotherhood, nob ility, and strength of character. It itself is an education in the worthy things and its p rinciples teach loyalty to truth and adherence to the things that matter. Young brothers in P i Kappa P hi , in these days of storm and stress, when often it is easy to accept the convenient, give thought to the principles of abiding strength , and hold fast to th e lasting in preference to the fl eeting. Seek truth for truth 's sake, and live rightly for right's sake.

New Chapter Homes

I N thi s issue reference is made to the three chapters, which by determination and pluck,

have acquired homes. There is the new house at Omi cron, pi cture of whi ch appears on another page, and there a re the news stories regarding the purchase of a house by the brothers of E psil on and P i.

As we have previously remarked the acquiring of realty on the part of our chapters is ample indication of the virility and growing power of our organi zation. This house purchas ing is steadi ly growing among our chapters and we hope to soon see the day when every chapter in the F raternity wi.l l be li ving beneath its own roof.

Those brothers, who have longed to see their chapter buy "a place," should take courage from these two incidents. T ackle the job with a deter­min ati on and see it through, stay with the prob­lem unti l it is settled and there should be no stop­ping. Th ose chapters which have been able to purchase property are to be congratulated. These have been made without aid from the Supreme Coun cil but the day is not far distant when the F raternity should create an endowment fund which will provide assistance to worthy chapters seeking their own homes. Our progress in many ways has been remarkabl e and surely this is the new step in our development.

Endowment Growing

D RI NG the few years since the adoption of the plan to invest a ll receipts for S·r.\R ANn

LAM P subscripti ons in a permanent fund which in time wi ll bear sufficient interest to pay for the printing of the magazine, that fund has

']'hiS steadily grown. T oday it totals $15,000. issue is notable, therefore, in that it is the first one which the in te rest on our STAR AND L., ~ il ' in vestments would pay for.

When the fund has grown suffi ciently to care for the magazine expense, a part of these receipts might be di verted to another endowment fund to .l end aiel to house funding corporations or other plans approved by the Supreme Council or board in control of the fund. But it is still necessary to build T HE S·rAR AND L AMP fund to almost fou r times its present total to provide for fo ur issues a year. A p ractical and vital point here is that there are between eight and nine hundred alumni who are not subscribers, whose subscriptions would boost the fund be­tween $8,000 and $9,000. s our plans mature, we expect to make the magaz ine more and more interesting and serviceable to the F raternity. It is the Editor 's desire, and that of all of us, that 1

'l'nF. S'l'AR AN D LAMP become indi spensable to the alumnus as well as the undegraduate. Yotl who read thi s can help also by interesting these older alumni and securing their checks for $10 for life subscripti ons. As soon as the magazine is on an entirely independent bas is, the F rater· nity can take rapid strides and accompli sh bigger things for its membership.

Our New Directory

T HE new directory, containing a complete lisl of members of the fraternity, is ready for

di stribution. A fter months of painstaking effort on the part of Brother George E. Sheetz, execu· ti ve secretary, the book has come from the press. In the past, similar books have been issued but we venture to say that nothing as comprehensive as the new eli rectory has ever before been a ttempt· eel by P i Kappa P hi.

This is an enterprise that should merit the full support of the fraternity. There are doubtless some errors in the li sting and it becomes the dutY of every brother to correct these errors by com· municating with the central office.

The directory, w hich contain s more tha n 300 pages and i of convenient pocket size, should ]~c 1n the possess ion of every P i Kapp. Its price 15 reasonable and Brother Sheetz has made a bar· gain offer of a free book to the brother sending· in an order for at least ten copi es at one time.

0 l\H CR N chapter has accompli shed a

task of which it may be justly proud. The active chapter , with the help of a

few loyal alumni , has erected a modern three­story building which is one of the most beautiful fraternity houses on the campus. This is saying a great deal, especiall y w hen one takes into con­sid erat ion the fact that the F raternity Row of the U ni versity of A lai ama is far famed for its great number of sub stantial frate rnity houses. The house is located at U nivers ity aven ue and Hackberry lane. It is modern in every respect, being built of red brick, at an approx imate cost of $25,000.

On the first floor there is the kitchen, serv­ing room, dining room, living room, sun parlor

and a suite of rooms for the House Mother. There are eight tudy rooms, a bath, and tW0

large sleeping porches on the second floor. 0 11

the third floor are four large study rooms, and a ch apter room. The boiler room, which is it1 the cellar, contains space for coal and wood· Ad joining this is a large room for the storage of trunks and other things. A ll the furniture in the stud y room is built in, making it more convenient.

P i Kappa P hi is t he first fratern ity on thC campus to take the progressive st p o[ hav ing a house mother, who lives in the house. Al­r eady oue other national has followed our e:\' ample and other are contemplat ing doin g so in the near future.

Brother Ralph Rivers Tabor, popular pres­ident of 1ercer's glee and instrumental clubs, radio artist de luxe, and loyal P i Kapp, has probably done more to put Pi Kappa P hi on the map in the vicinity of Mercer than any other individual.

Coming to Mercer in the year 1922, Brother Tabor immediately stepped into the limelight when the feminine journalists of Wesleyan Fe-

round bout. In hi s first few months at /[ercer, Brother

T abor became piani st fo r i\ r ercer's mu ical or­gani zat ion, which position he has held consist­enll y. A t the close of last season , he was ac­co rded another honor when he was elected to the presidency of the cl ub. Besides thi s, he has been a member of the Georgians orchestra since com­ing to Mercer. l3 roth er T abor is t ruly a great pi ani st. P robably thousands of radio li steners have heard him play over \ iVM AZ, Mercer's radiophone broadcasting station. He has received applause from a ll par ts of the U nited States. R ecently the Radio D igest publi shed hi s photo­g raph together with an account of hi s broad­casting recitals.

Brother Tabor f irst saw the .lighl of day in Toccao, Ga., a picturesque little village nestled among the foothills of northeast Georgia . That

mu ical training which has led to hi s present populari ty began at the age of seven.

The committee favors limitation of student participation in intercollegiate football to one

year, or the adoption of faculty coaching systems conducted by men of "character and personal inAuence."

\Vhile fo tball is a good sport, the report says in " its present excess," it has demoralized student bodies. ·

The committee is headed by Professor Ernest W. Wilkins, of the L'niversity of Chicago. The committee recommends that representative from various colleges form a committee with a view to adopting a general plan which may be put in operation before the opening of the football sea­son next fall.

That Large Badge Again (From General Bulletin No. 12)

The poll of the chapters taken on the question of authorizing the use of the large oversize badge has resulted in a vote of decided disap ­proval by a majority of the chapters. There will he no change in our regulations on this point, therefore, and it mu. t be plainly under tood that the large "police" style of badge is not officia l in l'i Kappa Phi. We feel sure also that it can immediately be assumed that anyone wearing such a badge did not secure it from Burr, Pat­terson & Company, our official jewelers, and that he either did not know of or did not regard our contract with them. If each chapter wi ll adopt a firm attitude on this point. such pur­cha es. f:om "pirating" jewelers will soon drop lo a mmtmum.

These big badges have probably seemed. like a lot of other "bootleg" articles, the more desir­able becau e prohibited. Now the choice ha been made by the undergraduate chapters them-elves, and the members must observe the de­

cision, since it is of their own making.

Columbia Alumni Gets Charter By T. A. HAUSER

T here is a song that has its beginning some­thing like this, "When good fe llows get to­gether," and there is no better description of the thirty-odd brothers who gathered at the Jerome Hotel for a real feast and good time, on that memorable night of February 12, when th e Columbia (S. C.) A lumni chapter received its charter.

A lthou gh we were a little disappointed that some of the brothers from th e undergraduate chapters that were invited cou ld not come, they will r eally never know just what they missed.

Vve did not indulge in too much oratory as there were other things that were of greater importance, but Brother John D. Carroll was here and it was absolutely necessary that he have the floor for a few minutes. Brother Carroll is a g ifted speaker, and when he gets w ith a crowd of Pi Kapps he just "cuts loose." It is truly interesting to hear him tell of hi s experi ences.

We were fortun ate to have Brother Hamp­ton Mixon w ith us. He presented our charter and g·ave us some mighty good adv ice w hich we arc trying to follow.

If at any time, any brother happens to be in Col umbia the second Monday nig ht of the month, drop around to the Green Parrot Tea Room about 8 o'clock and meet with us.

Atlanta alumni are awake and their meetings have been well attended. Meetings a re held the third Sunday in every month at 17 East Fifth street and all P i Kapps are cordia!Jy invited to drop around if they happen to be in Atlanta.

Eta Receives Three By B. K. Bn,nRJ\Y

E TA has the pleasure of introducing three new l'i Kapps through the initiation of

Freshmen Joe Puett, Eastman, Ga.; Johnnie erwinner, Atlanta, Ga., and Charlie Robinson,

Valdosta, Ga. Following the initiation, the whole chapter was entertained at a banquet. At this time the p titian of Tau } appa Phi, local, of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, A Ia., was voted on and passed unanimously.

During the pa t week-end, the Southern con­vention of Alpha Kappa Psi (Commercial ) was held in At lanta, with the chapters of Tech and Emory acting host for the occasion. Four Eta men are taking very active part in the Emory chapter.

hort while back, our long looked for cof­fee party was given at the Capital City club.

pring elections are being held by degrees, and so far we are glad to announce that the Phoenix of next year will be under the editorship of Brother Henry Trost, the assistant editorship of the Campus goes to Brother l edding Blalock, and the vice-presidency of th Y. M. C. A. to llr ther Claude Frederick.

Iota Raises Scholarship By EsTILL EzELL

A LTHOUGH it has not been heard fr~ for several months Iota chapter has been

far from dormant. For one t hin g Iota came through the mid­

term exams w ith flying colors, not a man drop­ping by the wayside. ln fact, we raised our scho lastic standing from near the bottom to aro un d t he half way mark We placed three men on the honor roll in the persons of Marvin McGraw, Buster Reeves, and Est ill Ezell, each standing at the head of his respective section.

F urthermore, Iota has not been idl e in inter­fraternity athl etics. In t he annual cross­cou ntry race, w hi ch opens the track season at Tech, Iota fini shed a strong second for pos­session of the si lver loving cup. We already have two legs on this cup and hope to gain permanent possession of it at the race next spring by w inning it the t hird time. We didn't fare so well in the basketball tournament be­tween the frate rnities, having been eliminated in t he first game. At present we are practicing for inter-fraternity basebal l. We have good material, especially a long needed pitcher in Brother D. 0. Martin. ·

lt is well to say h ere t hat Iota initiated into Pi Kappa P hi in February nine pledges: " ) ul iu s" aesar, Bill Schall , Eel Powell , Mathi s l ~ze ll , Donovan George, Harlan Lloyd, Lamar Hrazwell, D. 0. Martin , and Sanders Roland.

One o( the biggest dances in Iota's history was held April 26. The famous Dru id Hi ll s Golf club wa the scene of "the Bowery ball," unique in the social annals of Georgia Tech.

In closing Iota w ishes to express deep r egr ~t in losing eight seniors by their graduation 111

June. The budding engineers are Vince~~ Heck, Stewart Marshall, Bill Lowndes, Btl Gordy, "Dog" MacLean, Johnny WimberlY• "Speedy" N unez, and Jack Stewart.

Lambda's Progress By E. D. CnrM

A LTHOUGH "Progress of Lambda" was the theme of our last discu sion in T IJI·:

ST.\R ~\ ' D L.\~IP, we feel sure that our readers will bear with us this time on the same sub­ject, because our strides forward ha\'e been

so noticeable that we feel that you will not tire of reading good news. In the pa t few

weeks Brothers John Holder, Metz Holder and Robert Gracey were initiated into the national honorary commercial fratermty, Delta

Sigma Pi, which is quite a eli tinction at the

University of Georgia. Brother Wm. E. Tal­

ley was pledged to Alpha Kappa Jlsi. . \t the

last meeting of the Economics ociety. Brothers S. ~1 . 1\Ierritt and ] f. E. Smith were elected to the offices of vice-president and secretary and

treasurer. Brother Jack Gray was elected pres ident of the International Relations club. Brother George S. Johnson was elected vice­pre ident of Georgia Athletic association.

Jlrother E. JJ. Crim was elected president of the first year Law class. Brother A. G. Var­nedoe was made a istant editor of The . 1 gri­wlturist, a publication of wide scope and large circulation. Next year the editorship will prob­ably go to Brother Varnecloe, and thi s is the biggest honor on Ag. Hill.

Out of the fifteen fraternities here every year about fifteen men arc taken into the "Biftad" club, and this year we had two men to make this honor. They were Brother R H. Gracey and H. E. Smith, Brothers Johnson and Sh 1·­

lock being the older members from our chap­ter. ur lat st pledges to Delta Sigma Pi are: H. E. Smith, S. l\1. Merritt and Jas. Williams. Recently six of our freshmen were taken in the Fre hman club, which sponsor one of the b e t dances given at the university.

Brother M. I. P ickens is completing his post­graduate work this spring and will receive an M.A. degree.

Other members are working for sti ll more honors to uphold Mu's prestige on the campus.

N u Chapter Active By M r·:LVl N KERN

T HINGS are humming at Nu. Mid-seme~­ter exams are over and thoughts are aga111

turned to the more sublime things of spring. N u chapter has initiated four men who have

shown the very keenest interest in the fraternitY and school affairs. They are: Alton Oren­dorff, Byrum Johnson. Sawyer Abbott. and Carl eton 1--:T.utchins.

Two pledges have been added to our li st: · Victor Schmidt, of Summerf ield , Kans. , wh0

plays baseball besides being a F rosh pre-la'" student.

Lewis Stockwell , of Morri ll , Nebr., who is a track star of note, plays a trumpet and is a F reshman "Bizad."

In school activities we have Orendorff and Schmidt as Pershing Rifles, Abbott, a Gamrna Lambda, and J ohnson, a pledge of Sinfonia. Stockwell is making good use of his track pos· sibilities. E rwin Domeier and Melvin Kern are officers of Delta Sigma P i and Drother Kern is in charge of the gala day for the "Bizad" college.

I-:T arold Zinnecker is a captain in the army, and Ray Hall first lieutenant.

Maaske and Lewis will accompany the Glee club on its annual tour.

N u is the proud possessor of an inter-£rater· nity bowling skin due to the superior perform· ance of Hall , M. K iffin , Tracy, Sloan, Lieurance and Maaske.

Another inter-fraternity championship was • I

brought to our abode by our Champion "Fight111

Bu11" Jiggs. Jiggs entertained some 10,000 loyal Cornhuskers one morning this winter by making mince meat of the pride of Delta Tau Delta, said Delt clog was sent to the infirmary while Jiggs was loudly applauded by all. N u wou ld be will· ing to pit Jiggs against the hounds, etc., of anY of the other chapters.

In basketball we were successful in taking a hard fought battle of two extra periods frol11

the Sigma N u cagers. We were stumped and eliminated in the second round by the Kappa Sigs, one of the contenders for the champion­ship.

with plenty to do. Clarence Williams, '27, is in the race for business manager of Th e Coro!fa . The Co rolla. i the annual publication of the nl ­vc rsity.

Frank Chambers, '27, of 11irmingham, was taken March 20. He and Brother 1 ick Hamner, '28, are catchers on A labama's baseball team and promise g reat things in the near future.

Crothers J esse Stallings, Allison .Ament and Freel Crowder transferred their membership from Rho chapter at \ Va hington and Lee Uni­versity to Omicron after the mid-term exami­nations.

Brother Bob Young continued hi s good work on the Alabama ba ketball quintet thi s eason and as a resttlt became one of the most outstand­ing and consistent players on the team. lli s brother, llill Young. also made his letter at cen­ter, displaying to a decided advantage hi s long legs. Brother ll a rvey Pugh, the old Oshkosh reli able, made a leiter in the same branch of athletics.

Th e three above mentioned men are a lso im­portant factors in Coach Crisp's track team. Dob pole-vaults, BiiJ high-j umps and Tr arvey does anything from the 100-yard to the three-mil e.

11rothcrs Parker l\fize and Herbert Davis were elected to Scabba rd and l11 ade, honora ry mili ­tary fraternity, in the last el ction. They were selected, with some twenty others out of a class of over a hundred off icers.

With the coming of sp ring, the shrubs, trees and grass a round Omicron's new home begin to take on color and present a most pleasing ap­pearance. Other people tell us that we have the prettiest home on the campus and we believe it.

Varied Life at Alpha-Alpha By M J\T<COT~M J O TJ NSON

W J'L'H the baseball eason in full wi ng and w ith socia l act iviti es such as Litt le

Commencement dances and plans for a P i Kappa P hi dinner dance in the proces of for­mulation, the brothers of Alpha-Aipha chapter at Mercer Uni ,·ersity have found li ttle time to spend in day dreaming during the past few months.

It a ll sta rted w ith the Little Commencement dances March 25. A lpha-A lpha, together with four o[ the other ; ig ht fratern iti es on the campu s, join ed force ... · r the time being and staged the F irst Little ommencement in the history of the Cniversity this year.

Judg ing from the comment fro m newspapers and from hundreds who were guest here at the time, t he dances were t he out · tanding social events of the season. The fir st dance was given on the night of March 2•3. This was followed by a costume ball on the succeeding night at the Volunteers armory.

A farewell dinner dance in honor of depart­ing brothers and Miss Ina Brown, who was re-elected sponsor of the chapter for next yea r, is to be g iven by t he chapter in the latter part of May. It is an annual custom of the chapter to so honor t he members who wi ll be lost through graduat ion. Miss Brown, pop ul ar young society g irl of Macon, was re-elected sponsor o[ Pi Kappa Phi by the un an im ous vote of the chapter, and w ill share honors with the brothers who are to be with us no more.

Pi Kappa Phi is again repre entecl on the baseball d iamoncl t his year, as is true of al l major sports at Mercer. Brother Wall ace Butt , the same young man w ho thri ll ed Mar­quette, ·w is., football fans with his flashy p lay­ing at end last fall, has taken his place at short­stop on the baseball var ity. Among th e freshmen, Pi Kappa P hi I oasts a prospective star ca tcher a nd pitcher for the vars ity of next year in Br ther G. R W ilder and P ledge Cleveland Purcell. \Vilder was a w innin g bet in the batter" at prep school, and P urcell is a lready throwmg 'em over the plate for the frosh team in a manner that baffles.

Darby Cannon h as won a berth on the fres h­man team at shortstop and shows promise of perhaps g iving Brother Butts a run for hi s money for the same position on the var sity of next year.

But ath leti cs and social affairs have not kept the brothers from fulfillin g their duties in the classroom in a creditab le manner. Brother Frank Cobb has won a place as student profes­sor in the Modern Lang uages department through his marked abi lity in Span ish, wh ich subj ect he is now drilling into the domes of freshmen.

Brother Paul Etheridge came to the front in the La"w School by making the highest average in the second year class. Brother Glenn Hasty made t he third highest average in the class.

t\ lpha-Alpha is proud to announce that Brother Dan Davis, who hied himself off to Florida w hen the real estate boom was at its ,peak, is now in business in Macon, where he has bought an interest in a musical firm. He anno unces that h e w ill wed Miss An nie Ree Riley, of Macon, some time in the near future. Brother Davis was leader of t he college band, the g lee club orchestra and of a profess ional orchestra during hi s sojourn at Mercer.

Brother Joe A. McClain, w ho, it will be r e­membered, was the Master Mercerian of last year, the hig hest student honor in the U niver­s ity, is now a professor in the Mercer Law School. Brother McClain was in business for some time in F lorida and in Columbus, Ga., before accept in g the position on the Mercer faculty.

N ine new brothers have been taken into the fold of Pi Kappa P hi at A lpha-Alpha this year. The n ew brothers are as follows :

Jack Hogg, Rome, Ga.; 'vVilliam Bruner, Laurens, S. C.; Darby Cannon, Lavonia, Ga.; Charles Davi s, Columbus, Ga.; Gordon Ket­tles, Dalton, Ga.; G. R. Wilder, Sumter, S. C. ; Robert Mar tin, J effersonvill e, Ga.; M. L. Stone, Bountstown, F la.; Henry Cobb, T em­ple, Ga.

P ledges C. C. Wilson, Pinehurst, Ga.; Cleve­land Purcell , Gainesville, Ga., and Wen dell Roberts, Lake City, Fla., are eagerly awaiting

the day when they shall be g iven the bond of

brotherhood. Two of our pledges were lost this year, one

to matrim ony, the other to business. Pledge W illia m !len, Bradentown, Fla., succumbed when Cupid's dart took effect and is now hap· pily married in F lor id a. P ledge Walter Eve­rid ge, freshman football s tar, found it neces­sary to drop out of school 1 efore hi s initi ation.

This seems to be t he most feasibl e id ea to create an undying interest in our fraternity and we are very proud to have the older brothers with us.

O n April J 5 we held our last initiation of Psi Delta alumni. Letters have been mailed out and a comm ittee appo inted by the archon has seen many in person.

It g ives us g reat pleasure to a nn oun ce th e initi a ti on of J. Perkin s Prewitt, professor of journali sm, into Pi Kappa l'hi.

He is now pres id ent of the Birmingham Safety coun ci l a nd head of journali sm in Howard col­lege.

A lpha-Eta is s till in the lead in s tudent ac­tiv iti es on th e campus. Brother Warren's term

of off ice a s president of the s tucl enty body is

proving very successful. O ur chapter feels the need of a new hotlle

Alpha-Theta Going Strong By H .\RR Y F. SMT'l'H

W HE J a ll the fellows had checked in on the fir st nig ht of the new term we found

sever a l changes . Eugene Howell was not 1 ack, having decided to s tay out and worl< until nex t fall. Willard Olson decided to take the examin ation for Annapolis and, though we hate to see him leave, we wish him the best of lucie Tommy J ermin has started an art ad· verti s in g shop which will keep him busy thiS term but he will be back later. Waldo Proctor called up from his home with the news that hC was under the doctor's care; guess he was ashamed to admit that it was the measles. The las t of the unfortunates came jn the next cia)' when Alonzo Langworthy arrived with the announcement that it was the measles that held him overdue. \tVilbur Stelzer, one of our pledges, was unable to come back, having decided to stay out and recuperate from hiS illn ess of last term. Then on Friday night came word that George MacKensie, another pledge, had ju st gone to the college hospital and was confin ed as our third m easles victim.

Our party proved unusually success ful last term. With Tommy Jermin's Amphion Revel· ers playing in the cozy Little theatre success would h av e been assured even though it were not A lpha-Theta s party. But with that last assurance-well, ask some one who went. we
