could be seen. Brother Reeves came in but was

accompanied by two distinguished­looking men. I learned in the outer office while waiting for Buzz to fin­ish that the men were from South Africa and Argentina who were much interested in "Buzz's" Recur-Ophone, a machine with an endless film voice, a great boost for the vocal and visual type advertising. Some invention! The "boys" from the other parts of

the world left after a spell-you'll meet people from all over the world at the Reeves Studios. But at last I got a chance to talk to the human dynamo, Hazard Reeves, the Pi Kapp, from Georgia Tech.

You've got to see Buzz in action to appreciate him. He is a tall, wide-awake fellow with bushy light hair, clean blue-gray eyes, and is modest, frank and unassuming. He never seems still for a moment. His whole body seems to be charged with electricity and after you're with him a short time you've become pepped up trying to tune in with him .

After some real prodding, for Buzz is a man of action, not words, I got him to admit that he spent his boy­hood days in Wilmington, N. C., and Orangeburg, S. C. He was married in 1933 and has two future Pi Kapps in Hazard , Junior, four years old

and Alexander, three years old. Yes, you guessed it-he lives right in New York City.

Finally, after much persuasion Buzz told me he came to New York in November, 1928, to do research work with Columbia Phonograph. Later he went with the Stanley Re­cording Company of America as As­sistant Chief Engineer, in charge of motion picture work and radio tran­scription. He became the sound specialist for this firm.

From 1930 to October 1933 , our Brother Pi Kapp became the Director of Sound Recording of the Harvard University Film Foundation, Chief Engineer of the Stanley Recording Company in New York, Director of the Standard Sound Corporation fea­turing motion picture shorts and spe­cialities and consulting engineer for several radio, motion picture and sound manufacturing companies in New York.

Now we come to a big moment in Buzz's life. In October, 1933, he decided to start his own business, calling it the Reeves' Sound Studios. The start was made with 1,400 square feet and today at 1600 Broadway, Buzz leases 18,000 square feet. My, how that Pi Kapp did grow. He has 18,000 square feet ·more in his plant in Stamford, Conn.

Today, the Reeves' Studios is the largest combined movie, radio, elec­trical transcription, phonograph rec­ords and dubbing of foreign films (that means taking foreign films and making English sound versions) studios in Greater New York. There isn't a place in the country that movie and radio equipment cannot be sent by the Reeves' Studios. Many developments associated with the "talkies of today" have been the works of Brother Reeves.

In 1936 Buzz met a fellow named Bill Gullette, a gentleman from Ala­bama. They started what has be­come New York's famous Preview Theatre, Inc., the finest equipped preview motion picture establishment in New York. Here frequently the "greats" of the movie world have private showings of films to be used the world over. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Will Hayes, Einstein, name anyone great you wish, and you '11 know that at sometime they

have been at the Preview Theatre to look at something special. Our governmental departments, foreign buyers, producers, use the theatre to advantage. There are associated with the theatre, film cutting rooms, editing machines, storage vaults-all the requirements of a small Holly­wood! And Buzz has a half interest in "Preview."

The year 193 7 rolled on and Buzz thought it a good idea to start a com­pany, with several engineers working for him, which manufacture, sell and distribute sound recording products. He called this firm "Audio Devices", Inc." By a chance they met up with a French process for manufacturing radio recording blanks. Buzz sent an engineer to France, found the proc­ess to be a revelation for sound work, got a contract for the exclusive use in the Western Hemisphere of the process and went to work. Today, under the name of the Audio Manu­facturing Corporation of Connecticut, near Stamford, this plant with two big units, has become the largest re­cording record manufacturing plant in the world. Buzz's company is one of the largest consumers of sheet aluminum in New England. Under the name of Audio Device Company there are 21 factory representatives throughout our country which sell the products of the firms. And these two firms alone in 1940 approached $1,000,000 worth of business!

Buzz had to march on! He's a real buzz-saw, if ever I saw one. In January, 1940, be formed a small phonograph company named Con­solidated Records, Inc.-the trade name being General Records. These records are for music students. There is also a series called "Voices From History," which includes recordings of all of our Presidents from McKin­ley, 1892, to Franklin D. Roosevelt. You can also hear the recorded voice of P. T. Barnum originally made in 1890 in the Edison library-the voice of William Edward Gladstone, Eng­land's great lawyer made in 1880 and still preserved. There's the voice of Florence Nightingale, Andrew Carnegie and many others. When you go to the large ice skating and roller skating palaces and bear the pretty music you can bet you're lis­tening to one of "Buzz" Reeves' rec­ords,- for he supplies this type of

record all over the country. E1'r. funeral parlors, Buzz's record will be beard! What variety! .

As th · the det ~ Years pass my memory of er da a.Jled happenings of my young­are c~s fbe~omes rather vague. Dates itnpres~· usmg and conflicting.

she was always extremely interested

which had been the haphazard gath­ering place for small boys should be­come the regular place of meeting for young men. The house was opened to us and the ·motherly af­fection and care embraced not only her son but also his intimate group of friends. Their trials, their prob­lems and their success brought forth her sympathy and her pride. It was in these years that the idea of form­ing a fraternity was discussed. Chiefly by Andrew Kroeg, Harry and myself. But my intentions were to include the group all of whom were known personally to Mrs. Mix­son. She realized that what we were planning was of immense import­ance to us. So when we met in Harry's room she saw to it that her other sons and her daughter did not molest or interfere with us as young­er children are apt to do. Then be­fore we left she always sent us some refreshments. This might sound like a trivial detail, but to us it showed her interest in what we were trying to do, her spirit of co-opera­tion, and her willingness · to incon­venience herself for us. The time came for us to propose our plan to the others. Naturally we told them to meet at the Mixson's. These were Andrew Kroeg, Theodore Kelly, Tom Mosimann, Pelzer Wagener,

in the Fraternity and at the last Su­preme Chapter M eeting in Charles­ton she captivated the convention with her winsome and gracious man­ner. The Fraternity mourns her passing.

Harry, my brother Jim, and myself. After the meeting, about which we were all unanimous, Mrs. Mixson in­vited us to dinner. This dinner could really be called the first Pi Kappa Phi banquet. We had agreed to organize and now we were the guests of the first mother of Pi Kappa Phi. She was the first mother in many ways, she ,was the mother of one of the founders, it was in her house that the idea was conceived, she included the other two founders in her motherly interest, and then adopted the entire charter member­ship of the fraternity.

Now our mother has left us, but left us with a feeling of genuine pride in the knowledge that the motherly love, untiring care, and con­stant affection which was in her home was the proper background from which was to develop a fra­ternity which was to attempt to ex­emplify those virtues among college men which were so evident in the sur­roundings from which it sprung. Pi Kappa Phi lives on but its longevity and its virility will depend on the constancy with which it adheres to the principles of love and affection which it inberited in its earliest days from the personality of its First Mo­ther, Mrs. William Hampton Mixson.

Charlotte, N. C., Alumni of Phi Kappa Phi spontaneously sponsored on May 1 7 the first annual Caro­linas onvention.

This undertaking, though small in comparison with National Conven­tion, exacted from its sponsors more than a little effort and responsibility. Charlotte Alumni, however, joyously declare it easily worth the effort. They reason that such gatherings strengthen our feeling of brother­hood, enable us to cope with local problems, and afford an opportunity for the intermingling of laymen with officers, all of which work to the ad­vancement of our national organiza­tion. Pi Kapps in Charlotte hope they have set an example which will be followed by other alumni chapters in the country. To this end, they offer any interested chapter the plans used to make this Carolinas Convention successful.

Friday, May 16, on the eve of the 1941 Carolinas Convention. the Hotel harlotte was infiltrated with a goodly number of Pi Kapps, some of whom had traveled long distances to attend this l!atherinl!. In the Tavern, Bob Allen, Archon of Dis­trict II, sat chatting, after a late dinner, with George Helmrich, Ted Houser, Dick Young (accompanied by their respective wives), and Mac McCann . Frank Kuhn, president of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter officially welcomed the guests. '

In the lobby, Paul Cooper, Epsi­lon, who bad driven from Roanoke, Virginia, was surprised to learn that

Jim Ballard, Epsilon, traveling from F.t. Benning, Ga., would lose the long distance attendance award to Billy Masters, Epsilon, who had journeyed from Okahumpka, Florida. Mean­time, Charlotte officers began to feel the warm glow of success as they saw many enthusiastic Pi Kapps sign the hotel register.

By midday Saturday, well over a hundred brothers had assembled to enjoy the fellowship and fun afford­ed by this convention. Many were accompanied by wives and others brought "dates" to enjoy the climac­tic ~~nquet and ball. Among these, in additiOn to Friday's early arrivals, were National President Bill Berry; Ralph Belk, Archon of District III ; Herman N. Hipp, Archon of District IV ; Wilbur D. White, Chairman of Province IV ; :Marion C. Davis Chairman of Province V; Congress~ man George Grant, Past National

since he travels among the various cities of the state will be both to in­vestigate the possibility of chartering various new alumni chapters in North Carolina, and to maintain in­terest in Pi Kappa Phi. Finally, con­cerning the 1942 Carolinas Conven­tion, Greenville, S. C., Alumni Chap­ter assumed responsibility for either acting as host to this Convention, or if it is deemed wise, to support the Columbia, S. C. Chapter in this un­dertaking.

At an enjoyable luncheon, Presi­dent Bill Berry delivered to a large group of brothers an address which was both instructive and inspira­tional. He made clear the position of our fraternity in this time of world crisis, offering assurance that even more than as during the First World War, Pi Kappa Phi will live ancl march on toward the goal of instill­ing in hundreds of American youths the high ideals on which Pi Kappa Phi is grounded.

The final feature of the conven­tion, a great climax and an appro­priate close, was the formal banquet and ball. Enthusiasm was strong and fellowship was abundant. Nearly two hundred Pi Kapps and their

friends gathered to make this func­tion a real success. Tau won the chapter attendance award for having the most delegate miles.

Congressman Brother G eo r g e Grant delivered the keynote address, pleading for both fraternal and na­tional unity. He attacked commun­ism viciously and pointed to our great organization as a weapon which can be used effectively to combat this menace.

Charlotte is gratified with the re· suits of the Convention. The ready co-operation which Epsilon Chapter at Davidson provided was an in­valuable aid in the promotion of this first annual Carolinas Convention. The Charlotte Alumni Chapter offers this achievement to alumni at large as a challenge. May there be some day many and greater such gather­ings to the glory of Pi Kappa Phi!

CHEERING SECTIOI Chosen varsity yell leader of the

largest college rooting section in the world in the only unopposed yell leader election ever held at the Uni­versity of California is an achieve­ment of which F. Willard "Snuffy" Knapp, Gamma, might well be proud. Nicknamed "Snuffy" because of a remote physical resemblance to the comic strip character of that name, he received the honor in a modest manner--exactly opposite to the way in which the somewhat ebullient friend of Barney Google would have don~.

"Snuffy's" election climaxed a long career of yell leading activi­ties that began in his junior year at Alhambra Union High School when, for the sake of novelty, he allowed himself to be persuaded by friends to compete for a yell leading post as part of a political coup d'etat. Elect­ed by an overwhelming vote, he be­came seriously interested in cheer leading activities and continued them during his senior year. Arriving at the University in the fall of 1938, "Snuffy" took up where he had left off in high school and successively became yell leader of his sophomore and junior classes. Last year he served as assistant varsity yell leader.

Short, blond, curly-haired - this constantly smiling native of Martinez probably knows half of California's 20,000 students either personally or on sight. Although his duties as varsity yell leader will not begin to any great extent until the start of the '41 football season, he is al­ready busy developing ideas and schemes for increasing his own ef­ficiency, as well as the general spirit of the rooting section.

His plan for eliminating tardy recognition of players leaving a game will no doubt prove effective. In the past the departing player was some­times sooted on the bench and the

8

game resumed before identification had been completed and the root­ing section organized for a yell. "Snuffy" will eliminate this by sta­tioning an assistant beside the head coach who will relay the necessary information to him the instant the coach decides to replace a player. In this way the player will receive his cheer while running from the field. "Snuffy" also has numerom tumbling stunts in his repertoire and is now practicing new ones to use this fall. He takes his yell leading activities seriously because he feels that good spirit in a rooting section makes for decided improvement in the morale of members of an ath­letic team. Furthermore, he be­lieves that minor sport teams in college athletics could perform with greater ability if rooting sections were organized to support the efforts of the players.

" I have talked with our coaches . . . and they expressed a definite desire for real rooting sections be­cause of the difference they thought it would make in the achievements of their players," are his words.

Although the role of public ad­ministrator seems far removed from that of a college yell leader, this is the field which "Snuffy" will go into upon completion of his formal education. At present he is major­ing in political science and intends to go into graduate work and ob­tain his master's degree in public administration.

The ease and swiftness with which he makes friends seems to character­ize his whole personality, and no doubt had a lot to do with the at­tainment of the popularity and posi­tion he now enjoys among California students. He will find fertile fields for the employment of these traits in public life.

weather of the Alabama champion­ship nine that captured 14 tilts-13 in a row-in a 16 game schedule. In 1939 with almost the exact roster the Crimsons were lucky to win four contests in S.E.C. competition. To lead the regulars with a .42 5 bat mark he garnered 26 safe bingles and scored 16 runs in 61 trips.

Press releases from the publicity bureau call Storey, "Versatile Veo. '' Here's why. Baseball is not the only sport at which the 21-year-old Arkansas traveler excels. A starting forward on Coach "Hank" Crisp's cage team that went to the semi­finals of the Southeastern tourney, he was again the main offensive threat in the scoring machine and won the individual scoring race with 124 markers.

Strictly a set shot artist, he was woefully weak on one-handed push shots, but his uncanny marksmanship from anywhere on the court with a two-handed throw made him one of

the greatest threats in the loop to opposing teams. By pacing his team­mates in two major sports within one year, Veo must have established some kind of modern campus record.

With all his laurels, Storey is an unassuming kid who, as basketball mentor Crisp says, "Is modest to a fault. " A self-sacrificing team player with nary a thought of impressing the paying patrons, only once did he draw catcalls from the gallery with a hoggish shooting exhibition. But Veo was under instructions from the coaching staff on that one, to offset the zone defense used by Mis­sissippi State.

Coach Hank tells the tale. "In our first game with State we dropped a one point contest because o.f Storey's neglect to shoot whenever he bad the chance. In our return tilt here in the Auditorium, Veo was under or­ders to shoot whenever be saw day­light and he did just that, only to re­ceive the crowd's disp1easure. I know it pained the kid to be treated like that."

When the phrase ' freshman days acquaintances" is mentioned to most fraternity men, they recall Joe and Bill and Mary, whom they met dur­ing those first days of college life. But that phrase means a Jot more to two of Alpha Omicron's outstanding members. The record of their col­lege careers reads almost like a story­book yarn, their successes having gone much further than even their most fantastic freshman-day dreams imagined.

It was the last morning of fresh­man rushing period four years ago this fall when two Pi Kappa Phi rushees, Roy Kottman, hailing from

Manly, Iowa and John Rigg from Golden, Colorado, met for the first time in front of the Alpha Omicron chapter house for a short chat be­fore going about the day's duties.

From that first casual introduc­tion a friendship sprang during the ensuing week. They talked fratern­ity- the houses, boys, general atti­tude- and came out with the mutual agreement to cast their lot together. Comparing notes they found Pi Kappa Phi to be the only fraternity rushing both of them. They put their heads closer together- the men?-yep, okeh by me-the house? - yes, attractive and comfortable­activities and scholastic ranking?­in the upper bracket- SOLD. A handclasp closed the deal- Pi Kappa Phi it would be for both of them.

Printers' ink ebbed through the veins of John Rigg back in high school days. Consequently, he nat­urally turned to the college news­paper upon his arrival at Iowa State. Securing a position as cub reporter on the Daily Student, he barely found time to mix in a bit of fresh­man football in addition to his re­portorial duties and the necessity for spending his leisure time pecking a linotype at two Ames printing estab­lishments to make ends meet.

Starting his sophomore year, John had but one aim in mind as he set about working on all three campus publications-that of cutting a firm niche for himself in the journalistic department. Despite a month's so­journ in the hospital, which forced him to drop from school for awhile, he was chosen president of the journalism club, was selected night editor on the Daily Student and named business manager of the cam­pus humor publication. Late in June, 1939 he was offered the position of campus reporter for Iowa's leading newspaper, the Des Moines Register and Tribune. Though the job took most of his free time, it nevertheless served as the real starting point for his eventual climb to top-ranking student position. He was kept busy following news tips, covering meet­ings and writing features-yet he managed to continue his work on the Daily Student. In the spring, he was named business manager of that publication and alternate to Roy Kottman as the junior Danforth scholarship winner.

Along the way, John picked up membership on the Agricultural Council and in Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fra­ternity, before being named editor of the Daily Student last spring, which honor brought him widespread recognition as the first student in the history of the school to hold both major positions on the school newspaper. In May the .:hapt~r placed the duties of archon on hts already heavily burdened shoulders.

Though many honors have come to these prominent students, they personally consider the leading of their chapter as the most significant of all. They have succeeded because they set their goals and directed

their energies and abilities conscienti­ously toward the attainment of those goals. Never shirking one duty to accomplish a no t h e r, they have brought h o n o r to themselves and to their chapter, the latter pos­sibly by chance, and have remained through it all the attractive, per­sonable, unassuming chaps that Alpha Omicron singled out for rush­ing in the fall of 193 7.

PHILIP MORRIS SCHOLAR COMPLETES YEAJ (Ed. Not e: This is the third and

final article in a series of "progress reports" prepared by Brother Wil­liam E. Catterall, Omega, winner of the second Philip Morris Scholarship Award to Pi Kappa Phi, who has just completed his first year of grad­uate studies in chemical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Tech­nology.)

My first year of graduate study at M. I. T. is now a thing of the past and ,I consider it successful. My ~tudies last year consisted of class­room work entirely. I carried eight courses in various phases of chem­ical engineering, which enabled me to pass the general comprehensive doctoral examination in that field early in May.

This examination consisted of a total] of twelve hours of written problems over a period of three days, followed shortly thereafter by brief individual oral examinations w i t h each of the eleven professors in the department. To have passed this examination is an immense relief!

In addition to my work in chem­ical engineering, I was able to take two of the three courses required for a minor in the field of business and engineering administration. Thus, after the year's endeavors, there re­main the following requirements to be fulfilled before I become eligible for the degree: demonstration of a reading knowledge of technical French and technical German; one more course, industrial accounting, in business administration; and a doctor's thesis covering original re­search in chemical engineering.

In connection with my thesis, I have been fortunate enough to ef­fect an arrangement which will pay practically all my expenses and will, in addition, enable me to make a small but direct contribution to na­tional defense. My research will be conducted in a subject of import­ance to national defense, as I will

be working for the government through the National Defense Re­search Committee, which is headed by M. I. T.'s. President Karl T. Compton. I wish that I could say more on this subject, but I am re­stricted because the program is of high importance and is secret. Suf­fice to it say that the work should last about a year, and the pressure for quick results will keep me busy.

My initial year at M. I. T. has been a wonderful experience, although the first couple of months were a nightmare. I was trying always to think as quickly and as accurately as my brilliant professors, a policy that I soon learned was pure folly. I was extremely bothered by the low grades I was getting on most of my quizzes--the old ego was tak­ing a terrific beating. Soon it dawn­ed on me that everyone else was in the same boat. We were all vic­tims of the M. I. T. method- that of first teaching the new student to have great respect for the superior intellects of his teachers. We were being deflated in precise fashion for thinking we had known anything about chemical engineering before entering M. I. T.

After this initial reconditioning of our mental attitudes things went much better. Our test averages did not improve, but we came to accept the situation as a matter of course. In the end our grades were placed on a higher-than-normal curve any-

way and everyone was reasoJI. l

Pi Kapp Legislators Organize

Newest alumni group to ]0111 the ranks of Pi Kappa Phi's non-char­tered clubs is the Legislative Alumni Association organized in Tallahassee, Fla., on May 30th. Formation of the group was instigated by Judge H. Blaine Peacock and District Archon W. Amory Underhill, both of Chi. Featured speaker at the initial meet­ing was J. Thomas Watson, attorney general of Florida.

Vreka, Calif. Spring rushing activities were climaxed with the pledging

in March of Robert Ford. Bob, who is a coxswain in crew, was the fourth man pledged during the semester.

Two letters in sports were earned during the semester by Gamma sophomores. Allan McMurry won his "C" as a member of the ski team. Ben Laflin earned his award for his wrestling activities. Another sophomore, Bob (Mouse) Van den Bosch, was honored with membership in the Rugby club, and Bruce Hellier, ROTC lieutenant , was presented an honorary marksmanship award for his excellent work on the varsity rifle team. Printers ink flowed faster in the veins of John B. Moore as he was appointed a junior reporter on the editorial staff of the Daily Californian, campus newspaper.

"Snuffy" Knapp brought distinction to Gamma chapter in April, climaxing a long career of yell leading activities in high school and at the University, with his election to the position of varsity yell- leader. The fact that he is the onlv yell -leader ever to run unopposed in such an e!ection attests his popularity on the campus.

Gamma is proud of its scho lastic record. Members of the chapter earned tenth place among 41 campus fraternities in scholastic averages the first semester. The pledges placed 13th in the same competition.

Highlight of our spring social activities was the April cos­tume dance in honor of the new pledges. The party's wild western theme was emphasized in house decorations. Later in the month we enjoyed an a ll day beach party in Marin cou nty.

Plans formulated during the middle of the semester to ac­quire a new house for the chanter were being actively carried out by the semester's end with every evidence of their con­tinuance during the summer months. Under the guidance of Chapter Adviser Jim Hamilton the necessary financial and contractura l arrangements are rapidly being made.

The chapter felt the pressure of the national defense pro­uam when Art McMurry, an alumnus of only one year who has been working in the photography business in Berkeley, w'!s drafted on May 15.

history during 1940-41. Furthermore, it appears that prospects are encouraging for next school year. With the loss of only past archon DeWitt Guilds, Zeta will come back a lmost fu ll strength; and is currently busy with summer rushing.

On May 29 Zeta held its annual party for graduating seniors at Rainbow Lake. The presence of only DeWitt Guilds did not in any way lessen the enjoyabi lity of the affair. Rath,, r it was an outstanding social event for an outstanding Pi Kapp and Wofford student.

Our annual house party will be held at Pawley's Island in August. Plans are being formulated at this writing to make the forthcoming affair typical of past successes.

824 Yorkshire Rd. N. E., Atlanta, Ga. The winter and spring months were very prosperous for

Iota . Fourteen men were initiated. They are: John Leedy, Jean Kirk land, Jack Bunn, Jimmy Minter, Tommy McMur­ray, James Snowden, Ed Gross, Charlie Fulton, Frank Hodge, Barr Mi ller, Arthur Pope, Jimmy Suddeth, Leslie Tarbutton and Morris Armstrong.

Iota has appointed a committee to look into the possibili­ties of building a new house or finding a different and more suitable one during the summer. This committee has given favorable reports and Iota may find itself in new quarters next fall.

In athletics, Iota still stands up with the best. The chapter made a presentable showing in basketball and softball by winning cups in both.

Final exams brought an end to rounds of spring festivi ­ties. One of these functions was our stag banquet, at which the graduating seniors were honored. An interesting feature of Iota's spring was a very successful regional interfraternity conference -held here in Atlanta. Most of Iota's membership attended.

We inaugurated a scheme during the last few weeks of the year whicli sought to emphasize the duties and responsibilities of chapter officers to freshman and sophomore members. Each week a new set of officers were appointed from members of these classes to assist the duly elected leaders in their chap­ter work. Duties ordinari ly accruing to the various chapter offices were assigned these men for performance. Two pur­poses were accomplished : (1) the potential ability of future officers was determined; and (2) a greater feeling of re­sponsibility for their duties was created among both incum-bent and future officers. .

Two Iota men were initiated into Omicron Delta Kappa so­ciety last spring. This high honor fell to Harry Arthur and Jim Wright, both of whom are very active in the chapter and

24

on the campus. Each held ofiice in the junior class year and were members of the varsity footba ll team, as as a number of bonoraries.

Xi chapter has just completed one of its most successful years in recent history and is now looking forward to even greater success next year when the Centennia l of Roanoke College will be celebrated.

The Chapter led a very busy social life during the spring term. Starting off with a stag smoker held at a cabin near Salem, we then staged our annual cabin party on April 5. A nautical motif in dress, decorations and entertainment was carried out to the delight of everyone. On April 26, we cele­brated the 25th anniversary of the founding and continuous existence of Xi chapter on Roanoke's campus. Spring festiv­ities were concluded with the annual seniors' banquet given in honor of the graduating members of the chapter. This was held May 21, and at that time Charles Harris, our re­tiring archon, was presented the alumni plaque for having con­tributed the most meritorious service to the chapter during the

year. In addition to having fun the boys of Xi have upheld

the reputation of Pi Kappa Phi on the campus. The last re­port from the Dean's office showed that Xi had third best scholastic record of any campus group and was first among the fraternities. By winning the fraternity intramural soft­ball championship, Xi won permanent possession of the fra ­ternity cup awarded each year to the chapter which makes the best showing in intramural ath letics. That Pi Kapps are held in high esteem on the campus is shown by the fol­lowing list of honors which have come to various members. Wayne Metcalf was voted into membership in Xi Theta Chi, honorary language fraternity for juniors and seniors. Wayne is also president of the Rat Council for next year. Gus Krutt­schnitt will serve as treasurer of the German Club and busi­ness manager of the annual during 1941-42. Allen Nelson re­ceived the secretaryship of the Commerce Club and the busi­ness managership of the college newspaper. Harold Carter is president of the student Y . M. C. A. and president of Xi Theta Chi. Paul Crosier is president of the Honor Council, president of the Commerce Club and a member of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity. Carl Sherertz is a member of Xi Theta Chi, president of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity, and vice president of the senior class.

Thus it seemed that when Brother Talman Ramsey and Miss Barbara Ann Key led the German Club figure at final dances in June, it not only rang down the curtain on a great year for Xi chapter, but also signalled the probability of an even greater year for Pi Kappa Phi at Roanoke College during the approaching session.

Omicron Chapter has just completed one of its most suc­cessful years in history. In addition we have been honored this year by many visits from prominent alumni and parents of the members. Pi Kapp Congressman, Joe Starnes, prom­inent member of the Dies Committee, has been with us several times. Here in business at Tuscaloosa we have Brother Joe Sewell , great Yankee baseball player of other days, whose

Pledge George Gammon, triple threat left half of Alabama's "Crimson Tide". Gammon stars in scholarship as well as ath ­letics and holds membership in Delta Sigma Pi, honorary com­merce society. He is a member of the "A" Club and a second lieutenant in R. 0 . T. C. infantry.

brother Luke, also a member of Omicron, was recently made manager of the St. Louis Browns.

And while on the subject of baseball, we caution you to watch our present representative on the Barna varsity nine­Pledge Veo Story. Opinion locally is that Veo is definitely headed for the majors. He had much to do with the Crimson Tide's copping the Southeastern Conference championship for the second straight year.

In other athletic departments we have Wheeler Leeth, Louis Adair, Veo Story, J . B. Hatley and Harry Law on the Barna basketball team. All except Hatley and Law were in Coach "Hank" Crisp's startling lineup which went to the semi-finals in the Southeastern Conference tournament in Louisville, Ky., last spring. Varsity football numbers Pi Kapps Joe Sudduth, Mackey McCoy, Carl Mims and Raymond Cox among its squad members. Coach Frank Thomas is counting on these boys in the coming football campaign.

Charles H. Talbot was elected president of the ComJIIC~ Association for next year. Charlie was also tapped for Ja5° a very high honor for a student to attain. Lister BrunsDr popular assistant editor of the Corolla, Alabama's all-~rne ican student yearbook, appears headed for the editorsh1P that publication. . tb

The social calendar of Omicron was well filled durmg ~ year. As usual we bad several formal house dances, the 8

The Interfraternity Council's finals dance set began on the last day of exams. It was one of the best dance sets ever held on the State College campus, with Tony Pastor, Barney Rapp and Woody Herman furnishing the music.

Members of Tau chapter received their share of honors on the campus last year. Bruce Halsted, retiring president' of Blue Key, national leadership fraternity, was also a member of Golden Chain, Theta Tau, Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi. Gregg Gibbs was elected vice president of Blue Key and tapped for Scabbard and Blade, military honorary. Tau Beta Pi, the highest scholastic honor in engineering, and Pine Burr, local scholarship fraternity, also honored Gregg with mem­bership. Leigh Wilson, retiring archon, was elected to Xi Sigma Pi, honorary forestry; Upsilon Sigma Alpha, honorary military; and Alpha Zeta, the highest honor available in the Agricultural School. Angus Ray, managing editor of the Technician, student newspaper, was tapp~d for Golden Chain, the highest honor a man can receive on the State College campus. Golden Chain selects only the most outstanding men on campus. Bill Quickel and Ward Bushee were recog­nized on the honor roll presented by the dean of the college on Scholarship Day. Bruce Halsted and Ward Bushee, repre­senting Tau, won the interfraternity bridge tournament for the third time in four years.

Three men were initiated in the spring, leaving five pledges to be taken in next September. The new members are: Bill Jordan, Charlotte, N. C.; Bill Deane, Washington, D. C.; and Jack Darden, Farmville, N. C.

A revised rushing program has been planned for September and all indications point to an extremely successful year in 1941-42. Rush Chairman Jim More:an, Albemarle. N. C., will be grateful for any recommendations or suggestions from alumni.

captured the championship after a hard campaign. In win­ter quarter Alpha Delta finished as runner-up in the basket­ball tournament and took seventh place in the annual track meet. The bouse was also represented during the year in footba ll, volleyball , baseball, foulshooting, golf and tennis. Outstanding athletes of the year were : Alex Adair, who ran the 440 and 880 on the track squad; Hilden "Moose" Pryde, who rowed in one of AI Ulbrickson's shells; Johnny "Merci­less" McKillop, boxer; and Don Distad, lightweight crew shell rower.

Other outstanding activity men of the year were Bob Wartelle, pledged to Scabbard and Blade, advanced R. 0 . T. C. honorary; and Tom Trumbull, who was pledged to Sigma Delta Chi, national journalistic honorary.

New initiates during spring quarter were Russ Schley, engi­neer from Hoquiam ; Ted Laine, history major from Aber­deen; Tom Forhan, economics and business major from Seattle; and Don Distad, journalistic student from Seattle. Newest pledge is Ed Farley, economics and business major from Seattle.

Answering Uncle Sam's call this summer are Bob Hotelling and Bob Wartelle, who are doing six weeks summer training in the ROTC camp at Fort Barry, Calif. Called for active duty in the avy last spring was Walt Avery, who entered the service as ensign on the battleship Maryland . Alex Adair is now on active duty as a second lieutenant.

Highlighting the social calendar for the past year was our spring formal. Other events included a fall informal, a moonlight cruise on Lake Washington and several parties, firesides and get-togethers.

Missing from the house next fall will be Alex Adair, Walt Avery and Joe and Bud Scroggs.

4833 N. E . Columbia Blvd ., Portland, Ore . For the first time in our history Alpha Zetans held the two

top journalistic positions on the campus. Joe Ross took over the editorial desk of The Barometer just three weeks before Stan Coates retired as business manager of the publication of this Oregon State daily. Joe is vice-president of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism society, a member of Xi Sigma Pi, forestry honorary, and was tapped for Blue Key, senior service honorary. Stan lists Alpha Delta Sigma, ad­vertising honorary, and Alpha Zeta, agriculture honorary.

Attempting to follow the footsteps of his older brother, Dick (Little Joe) Ross was awarded a cup for the freshman doing the most in journalism for the year. He has been local advertising manager. Dick has lead the freshman chemical engineers in scholarship for two terms.

Our "Night in Araby" spring formal was one of the out­standing dances of the campus year. Decorated with luxuri­ous drapes and murals, Alpha Zeta's colonial house was turned into a majestic palace, and guests danced amid wavine; palms through the incense-laden air. District Archon Vic Sivertz and his wife came from Seattle for the dance, and Pi Kapps and guests found them very entertaining conversation­alists and "super" dancers.

Music has taken quite a large place in the activities records of Alpha Zetans this year. Paul (Off-beat) Seibert, drummer boy, is leader of the campus' top dance band. Paul is also a member of the local Sigma Chi and Alpha Zeta . Not con­tent with this. he writes all the scripts for "Ae; Club" radio broadcasts and directs them as well. Don Nebergal and Vic Doherty, both excellent pianists, direct their musical talents along classical lines. Don is half of the two-piano team "Kay and Don" which has played at numerous concerts both

2936 Macomb St., Washington, D. C. Pi Kapps at Penn State are now looking forward to the new

school year after a session that has been most successful. An honor we feel proud to acclaim is that of placing thirteenth among fifty fraternity groups in scholastic standings for the first semester last year. Heading the list was Len Greenaway, last year's archon, who became the third Pi Kappa Phi Scholar from Alpha Mu.

Dick Grimes became co-captain of State's basketball team after a good season at guard. Equally honored was Elmer Webb in his election as swimming captain for next year. Elmer is also a manager of the golf team. Both Webb and Grimes are In Parmi Nous, activities honorary, and both have high scholastic averages. Alpine McLane is associate manager of basketball; Palmer Davis and Joe Quickel are working at managerial posts in fencing and cross country. The house will miss Les Kutz, flashy co-captain of Penn State's fencing team, next year. To turn to the intramural sports picture, Pi Kappa Phi went into the quarter finals in basketball, but was stopped by Sigma Nu after defeating Tau Kappa Epsilon, Beaver House and Phi Mu Delta. An interesting campail(n was the softball league where we made a representative showing. There being no bowling league among fraternities, the boys formed a house league and aroused great interest in this in­door recreational activity.

At interfraternity ball last spring Pi Kappa Phi had a larger house party than any other Penn State fraternity. A dozen alumni and twenty-five "imports" were house guests for the two big dances, one of which featured Paul Whiteman's band. For spring house party we joined the local s;i'!ma Pi'~< for a great week-end which brought social activities to a close for the year.

Alpha Omicron opened the spring quarter with an enroll­ment of twenty-two actives and seven pledges. Last initiate was Harold Christensen on May 2. Frank Michalek graduated at the end of the winter quarter and is now employed by the Farmers' Mutual Reinsurance Agency at Grinnell, Iowa. Seven men graduated spring quarter-James Hemstreet, Leonard ~ar.t, Roy Kottman, George Wengert, Robert McKean, Ben­)amm Foot and Gerald Groepper.

Alpha Omicron's second annual "major · catastrophe" dance was held February 22 and the winter formal prior to that on January 17. For the catastrophe dance the house was deco­rated as a. bomb shelter and costume~ were those that migh: be found m any war torn commumty. The winter formal was a. gran? success, with Carl Neb be offering sweet melodies featunng Pt Kapp and alma mater songs. Our spring formal held at the Country Club on May 24, was also very sue~ cessful, with a nice representation of alums present.

Ir~ the w.ay of achievements, the men of Alpha Omicron recerved therr share . Wayne Moore, student in E. E. and past archon, was granted a teaching position on the engineering staff at the beginning of the spring quarter. Richard Hoverter was subsequently granted a similar position . John Rigg was made editor of the Iowa State Daily ~tudent, college news­paper and tapped as president of Cardinal Key, the highest honorary posrtron on the campus. Roy Kottman won second place in a livestock judging contest at the International Live­stock Exhibition and was initiated into Phi Kappa Phi na­tional honorary scholastic fraternity. General Groepper' was also made a Phi Kappa Phi scholar. Eldred Harmon rivaled Roy Kottman's achievements by being selected champion showman at the Little International in the sheep division and also won two other major awards. ROTC placements found Roy Kottman as colonel, Gerald Groepper and Wayne Moore as captains, Leonard Hart as first lieutenant and Paul O'Brien and Donald Elliott as sergeants. Collectively, the men of the chapter won second award in Campus Varieties with their play production, second in the Ice Carnival and third in the Veishea Float Parade.

An innovation at Alpha Omicron next fall will be a house mother. Arrangements are now being completed which will care for her living quarters at the chapter house.
