AT WORK

(This intaesting story of the work of a distinguished North Carolina Pi Kapp is reprinted from The New York Times.)

MANY a potentially good forum falls flat as a radio production

because of lack of preparation by the producers and speakers, many oi whom still labor under the assump­tion that it is only necessary to get two or more speakers of opposing views before the microphone on a controversial subject in order to have a good show. The result is usually a poor show and poor education.

On "Town Meeting of the Air" we have been experimenting for a number of years now with different formats and varying degrees of prep­aration and have recently evolved what gives promise of being the most satisfactory method we have yet de­vised. The format consists of a brief introduction by the moderator, two carefully related addresses by the two principal speakers, a two-minute analysis of these addresses by two aualified interrogators, followed by discussion among all four speakers, a sta tion break, then questions from the audience during which the inter­rogators are charged with the re­sponsibility of seeing that the princi­pal speakers do not dodge any rel­evant questions.

First comes the selection of the topics. As our program is produced for a national network and many stations overseas, we are necessarily confined to subjects of national and international interest. This naturally includes such universal topics as re­ligion, education, science and philos­ophy. In our office ·at Town Hall we have a staff of ten people (it should be fifteen) and we maintain an up-to-date research file on all topics of possible interest to us as well as an extensive file of speakers classified according to their qualifi­cations. A rich source of Town Meeting topics is our file of weekly mail reports (we receive on the aver­age more than 2;ooo letters per week) containing suggestions from listeners. We hold weekly program meetiT)gs

2

GEORGE V. DENNY, JR., KAPPA President, The Town Hall, Inc.

to select topics four or five weeks ahead and at each of these meetings we prepare a li st of ten possible top­ics which we distribute to our audi­ence each week as a questionnaire and ask for a vote on the topic of greatest interest.

Wh en the topic has been selected Mrs. Marian Carter, the director of our radio division, who has held this position for the past nine years, and her assistant, Mrs. Eliz­abeth Colclough, must then persuade the right speakers to participate.

Our speakers accept on the condi­tion that they send in a rough draft of their speech the Saturday preced · ing the Thursday broadcast. This is no t only for clearance as to net­work policy but principally so that we can make purely technical sug­gestions to them as to revisions that chould be made in order to present a coordinated program which will make good listening.

Standard practical suggestions at th ;s point are "Shorten sentences," "omit ten-dollar words," "use picture words and phrases," "include facts - new facts, if possible," "refer to your opponents and colleagues by name," "speak directly to their ar­guments," "illustrate your points with flesh and blood stories," " inject a note of humor."

Next comes the speakers confer-nee at ten o'c:lock the day of the

broadcast. A first draft of the two principal speeches has been sent to each speaker and the interrogators earlier in the week and at this con­ference the attempt is made to cor­relate the speeches so that, if possi­ble, the speakers agree on facts and discuss the same facts of the main question. For instance, if statistics

p: are used each speaker is asked t~ refer to the same statistics, if posS1

ble, unless conflicting statistics con of stitute part of the argument. on

Unless the principal speakers ar old hands on Town Meeting, \f

take them to the auditorium to mak a recording of their voices. Each rt cording is then played back to t11 speaker and suggestions are mad :~1

for improvements in the quality o delivery. of

More often than not the rest 0 ter the day is spent in revising t~ for speeches. The heaviest burden u: ha ually falls upon the second speakt of but not infrequently the first speakt by does a complete rewrite job in ordt to strengthen his statement followin ~: the conference.

In order to avoid the unhapP: ch confusion which comes when two r three people try to speak at once an ~ the listener hasn't the foggiest ide: su who is talking, we use only one n1~ Cl crophone and each time a memb1 fo

1 of the panel speaks the moderat~ c( identifies him by name. If a speakf in; attempts to go unreasonably beyon· his allotted time, the moderator pU1 ti1 a firm hand over the remainder c Ill! the manuscript at the end of a sel' th tence and says, "Thank you, 1\~r ve Blank," and leads the audience 11 ur applause. ac

It goes without saying that tacl so diplomacy and firmness, when neC tic essary, are essential qualificati~~ for a successful moderator. r• w· should be serious but good humorr e and never lose his temper. He shOU . Ill be reasonably familiar with ever ~ subject discussed -:tnd must posse: w enough mental agility to jump frof subject-matter to the technical ~, a! pects of the production if he's go!P fa to keep the program moving at p lively pace and with proper order. 11 ~ must quietly control, but not don gl inate each discussion. And, abo~ fr all, be must be scrupulously fair 1 Ia his decisions.

UNDER THE STUDENT'S LAMP thi! ous can

Pi Kappa Phi has had a definite, well planned scholarship program for over twenty years. As with almost every other form of activity in our fraternity the war brought our schol­arship work to an end, but with re­activation of our chapters, scb<:Jlar­ship agl1-in assumes its fundamental importance in the progress and suc­cess of Pi Kappa Phi. The motto "Knowledge, or Wisdom, Conquers," which appears in the Greek on our scholarship insignia, is recog­nized as stating a vital, practical truth, for it is pretty generally con­ceded that the war was finally won by the side with the "know how" or knowledge derived in the field and the laboratory. And ,in continued recognitiem of this fact our govern­ment is subsidizing numerous univer­sity research programs. If war in the future is outlawed, one of the chief ~r:easons will be the universal knowleage of the terrible weapons availa:b'le and the forces to be con­tended .With which, if unloosed, wiil lead to -universal destruction. Knowl­edge will ultimately outlaw war.

One phase of our scholarship pro­gram .is .the recognition of our out-

standing scholars in our active mem­bership. These active members, very carefully chosen, are known as Pi Kappa Phi Scholars. Not more than nine may be chosen in any one year, and to be eligible the member must be a second term junior or a senior, in good standing, whose scholarship is outstanding in his own college or university. Extra-curricular activity and achievement are not considered at all in the selection of these Schol­ars.

The first group of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars was chosen in 192 7, and the last group was chosen in 1942. Sixteen such groups totalling 123 men have achieved this recognition of Pi Kappa Phi Scholar, the highest honor conferred by our fraternity on an undergraduate member. The sev­enteenth group, the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 194 7, will be chosen dur­ing the summer, after the records of

0 days. Wh~nhdistinct contrast to the problems

P IC faced the conference in the

ast f th. lVe years were those considered ou'5 year, brought on by the tremend­ca 5 Increase of students on fraternity mpu~e~ throughout the country.

·eived ect Reahzmg that in this unprecedent­:andi· the Prosperity there is a menace to · win! Natelfare of college fraternities, the 'chol· Pa lona! Interfraternity Conference ~chol· nired unanimously two highly sig­' phi ,~cant resolutions as follows: ;t wili en Resolved: That, ( 1) this confer­eders th~e recognizes the need of extending : Dt bershpportunity for fraternity mem-

aff}" 1~ to those who desire such have Pu: Iat10n. ( 2) It believes that this each the Pose can best be accomplished by

. ndi· of chartering of additional chapters ·~ j! bar ?lember fraternities. Without ~hi~ org ri~g t~e creation of. new national )rrecl niz:n~at10ns, the conference recog­·ecrc· the s e value of experience and also 'f t]Jt affTbe?efits to be derived through ~ 11c· iza~ilah~n. with strong national organ-'h 01 best ons, 1t therefore believes that the

P ther the results will be attained through · olaf (3) e?ansion of existing fraternities. ~f 111 Com ~ suggests that the Executive

e~' a 5 m.Ittee of the conference ·through Jul' for p~hial committee direct a program

11 0( "R e carrying out of this policy." l an' ther ~solved: That, recognizing that 1addi chare lS great danger of destroying the e st We kcter ~f the fraternity chapter as

l tb' size ~ow It today by increasing its and 0 numbers greater than fifty,

' appreciating the unusual and ' 0

,M F Pt KAPPA PHI

necessary temporary increase in the size of the fraternity chapter in the post-war period, this conference recommends that its national frater­nity members discourage the contin­uance beyond the present emergency of such over-sized chapters in an effort to maintain the fundamental character and purpose of the fra­ternity chapter as an opportunity for the development of the principles of brotherhood within its membership.''

In addition to these was a third resolution dealing with the right of fraternities to select their own mem­bers. This follows:

"The American college fraternities and sororities have developed over a period of one hundred and seventy years. Throughout all that time they have exercised their established right to govern themselves and to select their own members. Their proud war records evidence once again the soundness of these democratic rights.

"Originally guaranteed by the Con­stitution of the United States in prohibiting any abridgment of the right of assembly which embraces the right to form voluntary associations, they have been re-enunciated in the Charter of the United Nations as fundamental freedoms to which every human being is entitled.

"Therefore, the Interfraternity Re­search and Advisory Council reaffirms the policy of the· American college fraternities and sororities in exercis­ing these rights, irrespective of the views of any non-members, as essential human rights."

Again the conference felt the ne­cessity of insisting upon its ban on hazing and hell week practices in the following resolution:

"Resolved: With the earnest con­viction that the national fraternity system offers a valuable contribution to the campuses of America, the con­ference again affirms its belief that hazing and all forms of hell week practices are not properly a part of the national fraternity system, ma­terially detract from its prestige and merit, and afford a reasonable basis

of increasing anti-fraternity senti­ment in this country, and it asserts that a more vigorous effort should be made by the fraternity members and particularly by the officers to eliminate completely such practices in the current year."

Other resolutions call upon mem­ber fraternities to initiate programs of organized chapter house discus­sions in their respective chapters in an experimental way ; affirmed the policy of the National Interfratern­ity Conference in respecting the in­tegrity of chapters and individual memberships of fraternities belonging to the Association of Education Fra­ternities; expressed to the presidents, deans, and other educational officers present at the conference appreciation of their attendance, hearty coopera­tion, and leadership in promoting fraternity on their respective cam­puses; paid tribute to Chairman Maurice Jacobs and others who made the conference a success.

A fitting recognition of the effec­tive service of Miss E. Lilliam Doeringer was made when she was called from the registration table over which she had presided for twenty years to hear a resolution of appreci­ation passed by a standing vote in the National Interfraternity Conference. Included in the resolution was a similar· tribute to Mr. Howard Heit­man, who for the nineteenth -time was recording the conference session as a stenotypist.

The initial session of the confer­ence heard Chairman Maurice Ja­cobs, Phi Epsilon Pi, give an impres­sive review of the activities of the Executive Committee and conference officials. He opened his address with the following statement:

"The problem is no longer one of survival, but of properly integrating this large student body into our present fraternities ." · ·

Later in his address he commented as follows:

"After Mrs. Glenn Frank had spoken at the University of Minne­sota, a check was made to determine

s

whether her presence had in any way affected the fraternity situation on that campus, and we were pleased to find that in no way had she dis­turbed fraternity loyalties. The Frank furor has passed in the night, like other attacks on the fraternity sys­tem."

There was an echo of the past in his reference to the fact that a chapter of TNE had been reported at a southern university, but that this organization of unsavory mem­ory had been discouraged. He also paid his respects to those who persist in hell week activities in the follow­ing statement:

"It is most discouraging to find that after all of our years of talking and acting against 'hell week' activi­ties, we have not convinced all fra­ternity leaders that our attitude is correct. A menace to the fraternity system persists in the sophomoric concept of fraternities and of their true functions which is still shown by a few individuals. Their minds seem not to have developed beyond the idea of the fraternity as a high school lark and an organized paddling party. Astonishingly enough, a very few of these members are placed by their own fraternities in situations of influence by appointment to official positions. They are the real enemies of the fraternity as an institution. Fortunately, their childish concep­tions a r e gradually diminishing through constant attack on the part of the better fraternities, abetted by the colleges and the conference on silly horse-play and 'kid-stuff'."

Dean Joseph A. Bursley, who has served for seven years as educational adviser to the conference and is re­tiring from his deanship at the Uni­versity of Michigan, February 1, in­cluded in his annual report the fol ­lowing statement:

"So far as I know, I am the only non-Greek ever to have held office in the conference, and now that I am about to retire and pass on the torch to my successor I want to express to the membership my sincere appreci­ation of the many courtesies you have extended to me in the past and of your confidence that my recommen­dations concerning fraternities and their problems have been fair and unbiased, even though you may not have agreed with all of them."

He warned against unusually large, unwieldly chapters as, he said , they

6

have a tendency to develop cliques and to suffer from conflict and dis­sension because of crowded condi­tions. He also recommended that more than ever before house mothers would be of incalculable aid in meet­ing many of the problems with which fraternities are now faced.

That today college presidents and deans regard the college fraternity as an integral part of the educative pro­gram of the college was brought out in a report of the law committee by its chairman, David A. Embury Acacia. He stated that out of tw~ hundred and seventy-four replies there were only two that could be labeled as definitely antagonistic to fraternities , whereas the great ma­jority indicated definite approval of Greek-letter organizations.

As the result of the passage of an amendment to the constitution, from now on there will be only one secre­tary in the list of officers for the National Interfraternity Conference. Officers who will serve for the year ahead are the following: chairman , David A. Embury, New York, Acacia; vice chairman, Frank A. Mullen, New York, Alpha Gamma Rho; secretary, Dr. Gilbert W. Mead, president Washington College, Chestertown, Md., Phi Gamma Del­ta; treasurer, William J. Barnes, Maplewood, N. J ., Theta Xi; educa­tional adviser, Dr. Wilbur Cramblet, president Bethany College, Bethany, W.Va., Alpha Sigma Phi; education­al adviser emeritus, Dean Joseph H. Bursley, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.; members of Execu­tive Committee: Walter Collins, New York, Psi Upsilon; John C. O!wine, Maplewood, N. ]., Chi Phi; Leon C. Stowell , New York, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, class of 1949; Dr. Benjamin Fine, New York, Alpha Epsilon Pi; Frank H. Myers, Wash­ington, D. C., Kappa Alpha Order; Christian A. Natvig, Bronxville, Kappa Sigma, class of 1948; Ben S. Fisher, Washington, D. C., Sigma Chi; Albert E. Paxton, New York, Pi Kappa Alpha: Dean A. Ray Warnock, State College, Pa., Beta Theta Pi, class of 194 7.

The Gold Medal for Distinguished Service rendered "to youth through the American college fraternity" was bestowed upon Lloyd Garfield Bal­four and posthumously upon Hamil­ton Wallace Baker following the luncheon Friday afternoon. Albert S.

Baird, Chi Psi, gave the citation Mr. Balfour is a former nationn president of Sigma Chi Fraternit and was twice chairman of the :Na so, tional Interfraternity Confereno tir Mr. Baker, who died June 18, 1941 cir was a member of Kappa Sigma Fr.a IIi ternity and had served as vice cha.J1 FJ, man of the National InterfraternJI. re, Conference. His award was receiv~ M: by Christian A. Natvig. .

One of the things which fraternil: gn men need to do, according to J)r of Edgar J. Fisher, Alpha Delta Ph In< assistant director of the Institute 0 co1 International Education, is to mak og: sure that the fraternities contribUI M:: very definitely and in new ways I IIi the fundamental academic purpose an of the colleges and universities. on an of these ways, he pointed out, was I sui help larger numbers of foreign stu ad, dents to come to the college campust by providing board and room f~ Ad them, thus enriching the life of tb ac1 chapter through the cultural and ~du Bo cational contribution that they m1gb be able to make. Another way 11

suggested was occasionally to ent~1

tain foreign students in fraternii. Jr: houses. He reported that betwe rna forty and fifty thousand student IIa from all over the world wanted 1. ha, attend educational institutions th1 Pai year in the United States. S.

One of the tributes paid at tb Jol National Interfraternity Conferenr s went to Dean Floyd Field, Tbel e~ Chi, who retired th is year as dean c ic students at Georgia · Institute 1 Fri Technology. Pn

Fraternal bonds are strengthened by tradition. Since the Alpha Xi Alumni constitutes the backbone of the New York Alumni Chapter, their traditions necessarily permeate into current functions. And so the Annual Christmas Dinner now ~ombined with celebration of Pi Kappa Phi Founder's Day, IS t~e outstanding function of the year in New York. f Stxty-six Brothers, alumni of ten chapters and the actives ~ A_Ip,ha Xi, gathered about the festive board at Brother Ray

rtetg s Lafayette Hotel, December 18 and enjoyed a memor­able evening. Past National President Berry, as Toastmaster, opened festivities with the candle lighting ceremony, calling Upon Archon Cosgriff of the Active Chapter to light a new ~andlc from last year's stump, symbolizing the rekindling of raternal spirit.

J\nother old Alpha Xi tradition calls for the presentation of ~- Stiver cup to the first born son, or a silver spoon to the trst born daughter of a brother. This year Brother Jensen w~ the proud father to receive the cup for his son.

Brother Cosgriff spoke for the Active Chapter and intro­duced the Chapter's "Baby" Brother Ryan, the last man to be initiated. The evening was brought to a ,close by Past Na~icnal President Meisel. Since Brother Meisel is also a :·ounder of Psi Sigma Fraternity, which ultimately became the Alpha Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, his reminiscences of the chapter's forty years existence brought forth many interesting and amusing happenings and a better understanding of Alpha Xi traditions to the brothers from other chapters and the new actives who will be called upon to carry them on and pass t:~em on from class to class. The following brothers attended:

Delta Furman De'ta returned to Furman University with big plans. The

nucleus of the chapter was formed by returning veterans. At the first meeting the following officers were elected for the

9

first semester: MacAdams Christopher, archon; William Mc­Millan, treasurer; Exum Hinnant, secretary; Dewey Landon, historian; Sidney Burts, warden; Edmund Cody, chaplam and Dennis Parks, pledge master. The following officers have been elected to lead Delta during the second semester: Exum Hinnant, archon; Sidney Burts, treasurer; Dewey Landon, secretary; Louis Foigoine, historian; Dennis Parks, warden; Breezy Brazil, chaplain.

Rush Week program consisted of an afternoon tea dance, a stag supper, three "drop-ins," and a mountain party . Delta successfully pledged 20 men, giving us a record membership of 49 members and pledges.

To date the housing problem has us licked. We hold meet­ings in lecture rooms while members and pledges are living all over campus and in Greenville.

Many parties were held during the pre-holiday season, but all were eclipsed by the annual Founder's Day ball on De­cember 11, held in the Poinsett Hotel's grand Ball Room. Well over 300 people attended and it was a great success. During intermission Delta Chapter was entertained at the home of pledge Ed. Touhey.

We've been active in intramural sports, with touch football, basketball, tennis, and ping-pong teams entered in the various competitions. Brother Christopher is head cheer leader anc.l Pledge Bill Randall is drum major.

Delta Chapter takes this opportunity to publicly acknowledge thanks to Brothers Mac Christopher and Bill McMillan, who graduate at the end of this first term, for the fine work and leadership they have given us.

Epsilon Davidson College On Jam1 ~ ry 9, the following officers were elected by Epsilon

chapter to carry it through the next semester : Tommy Bum­barger, archon; Robert Cline, treasurer; Ernest Hunter, sec­retary; Allen Mead, historian; Earl Yantis, chaplain; Char­les Reid, warden; O'Dell Dobson, cuss-out reader, and Fi ~z · hu !!;h Reed, Pan-Hel Representative.

Our Founders' Day Banquet was held December 14, in the Hotel Charlotte, Charlotte, N. C. The banquet was fol­lowed by a dance in ·the Rose Room of the hotel. After the dance, the pledge class honored the brothers and their dates at a breakfast. Our speakers at the banquet was our treasurer, Robert Cline, who delivered a stirring message entitled "Honor and Traditions of Pi Kappa Phi." After tht speech, Dr. Guy Vowles of the Davidson College faculty wa;; recognized for his unselfish devotion to Epsilon chapter dur­ing the trying years. Without his capJb1e guidance, Epsilon would have certainly been "inactive."

At a recent meeting, we were very happy to meet Q. M. Rhoads, our District Archon, of Charlotte. Brother Rhoads outlined some of the plans of the Charlotte alumni chapter and told us of some of the difficulties they are encountering in reorganizing. He also told us he would be glad to assist the chapter in any way possible in plannin!!; its social functions.

Epsilon, Tau, and Mu chapters are planning a spring dance to be held at some centrally located point between the three chapters. We think this a fine plan and would urge other chapters located in close proximity with each other to plan a similiar function .

Epsilon regrets to announce it has been unable to add any new pledges to the chapter role since the last issue of STAR AND LAMP, this is due to overcrowded conditions in our boarding house. However we are planning to rush a limited number of men at the beginning of the spring semester. Our roll now numbers forty-eight brothers and twelve pledges.

Pi Kapps here a batting an even 1.000 on the basketball court in the interfraternity league. Billy Puett, Newlen Schenck, Walter Walker, and Johnny Walker have all marie the varsity wrestling team.

Epsilon is planning to hold an initiation for its pledges on February 13, to bring up our chapter's strength .

torian; Jack Barry, chaplain ; Harvey Atwater, warden; and Jack Atwater, pledge master.

Zeta chapter returned to active status on October 15, after more than three years inactivity. We have our chapter room and share a recreation room in Archer Hall on the campus. This is a big step on the college's part to bring fraternities back on the campus. In the near future we are looking for­ward to having a new building where all fraternities will be housed.

The return of seven active members and six old pledges, "Fioogie" Aerial, Gregg Bissell, Steve Barry, Don Linn, How­ard Pettit and Jimmy Wall, had a big part in restoring Zeta. We were very successful during rush week, securing 18 new pledges. They are: Jack Burnett, David Cox, Fred Elias, Buddy Gilliam, Billy Hammond, Bill Hughes, Jimmy Simms, Rob Thompson and Walter Wright, Spartanburg, S. C., Bill Clark and Edward Ervin, Manning, S. C., Frank Cureton, Moody Garner, Arthur Proctor, Union, S. C., Kenneth Du­Bard, Columbia, S. C., Gus Gilbert, Atlanta, Ga., George Holston, Edgefield, S. C., Frank Salters, Johnston, S. C. and

· Wallace Seaborn, Walhalla, S. C. Gregg Bissell, Don Linn and Howard Pettit were given

their formal and informal initiation on November 22. Our socials have been many. We've had a hay ride, dance,

and steak supper, a party at Pledge Bill Hughes house at Lake Lanier, and are planning now a party at Rainbow Lake, and another formal dance at the Cleveland Hotel April 18.

Our annual Founders' Day Banquet was held December H at the Cleveland Hotel. Brother Neville Holcombe was the principal speaker. Gus Gilbert was voted the best pledge of the year and awarded a prize. After the banquet an enjoy­ab!e time was had at Sunnydale in Tryon, N. C.

We are most grateful to many of our alumni brothers for their donations, their help in getting us reorganized, and for their presence and suggestions during rush week.

Iota Georgia Tech At the _present time Iota has 23 active members and 14

pledges. On February 2, at a formal initiation, nine pledges will become Brothers. A very fine Founders' Day Banquet was held at the Atlantan Hotel, thanks to the excellent work of Robert Bush, Frank Bennett, and Jimmy Rammage, Iota alumni. All Pi Kappa Phi alumni in this area were invited, as well as the undergraduates of Iota and Eta. Phil Etheridge, Alpha Alpha, was toastmaster and with his gifted personality did a very commendable job. Iota and newly activated Eta gave a report on their status to the alumni. Plans were made, and favored by all alumni present, to start immediately rais­ing funds for houses for both undergraduate chapters.

In October, Iota and Eta chapters entertained their brothers from Auburn with a hayride after the football game. The party terminated at the country lodge of Brother Mac Keiser, where refreshments were served preceding a session of songs and dancing. The chapter was honored by the presence of a number of alumni and their wives. Included were: Mr. and Mrs. Leo H. Pou, Mr. and Mrs. James Rammage, Mr. and Mrs. Ned Jacobs, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Galphin, and Mr. and Mrs. Mac Keiser.

A bingo party was held January 18, at Mac Keiser's lodge where members, pledges and rushees were entertained.

Tom Quinn was elected to the freshman honorary society, Phi Eta Si!!;ma. Pledge Kenneth Brooks also received this honor his freshman year.

Our football team advanced to the semi-finals in the Inter­Fraternity League before bein~ downed. We also have :1

team in the Inter-Fraternity Basketball League and plan to start a bowling team in the near future.

Omicron Alabama On December 4, 1946 Omicron elected new officers for the

next two quarters. They are as follows: Robert M . Guillot, archon; Walter H. Davis, treasurer; George A. Black, bouse manager; Sidney W. Jackson, secretary; A. H . Hembree, Jr., historian; Dave Crawford, warden; and Robert A. Brown, chaplain.

We now have eighty active members on our roll . Twenty­one pledges became brothers at our formal initiation January 30. They are: George E. Aiken, Frank Albert, Bob Bowers, Bailey F. Brooks, W. L. Bullard, W. A. Daniels, Jr., James T . Felder, Jr., Albert D. Fowler, Duncan Fulton, A. J. Gray, Grady Glover, James Holcomb, Fred Holloman, Charles Lov­ett, Robert L. Martin, Jr., Walter J. Moseley, Reuben H. Patterson, Julian D. Sawyer, Julian A. Stuckey, Julius A. Stuckey, and T. D. Genright. After this initiation we will have sixteen pledges left who will be eligible for initiation next quarter.

During the fall quarter we had a splendid football team but, unfortunately, we lost out in the semi-finals and only got to third place. Our basketball team is one of the unbeaten ones on the campus as our team has some of the best shots in the league, and we are sure of winning the cup. If we win this we may also get the big rotating cup.

We have had two bouse dances this quarter at which we entertained several rushees, all of whom we pledged.

During the last quarter we bought quite a few pieces of furniture, and have bad much interior and exterior work done on our house; and this has really helped the looks of things in general.

Pi Kappa Phi is continually growing on the Alabama cam­pus and we are proud to say we arc one of the top ranking fraternities here.

Rho Washington and Lee House elections were held last month . Results: Roy Witte,

archon; Bert Graham, house manager; Bob Landrigan, secre­tary; Phil O'Connell, historian; Walt Harrod, cllaplain; Bill Krausman, warden; Dean Stewart, social chairman; and Ed Pickett, athletic director.

After three years of inactivity, Rho chapter is back in action again. Under the guidance of Brother Earl K. Paxton, '20, four pre-war members, Roy Witte, · Walt Harrod, Bill Krausman and Phil O'Connell, did a little house fixing, a little financial organizing, and a little rushing, and in No­vember, initiated Dean Stewart, Ed Pickett, Bob Landrigan, Frank Blythe, and Bert and AI Graham. Initiation ceremon­ies took place at Roanoke College and were performed with the aid of Xi chapter.

Freshman Tony Statler and Reggie Hallett are wearing the gold and white pledge pin, and will probably be initiated in February. Statler is from Missouri; Hallett from Richmond, Va.

A little Rho alumni news-Bud Dreyer, '44, is married, Jiv­ing in Washington, and is with the U. S. Air Corps. Also in

ll

Washington are Earle Palmer Brown, and Hap Laughlin. Hap is with Eastern Airlines, and Brown is in public relations work.

Dick Watson, has left the U. S. Geological Service and has enrolled in Princeton's Theological school. AI Darby and Jett Scharitz bounce back to the house now and then for a party. Mr. and Mrs. Darby are living in Richmond where AI is on the staff of the Times-Dispatch.

Long Island alums George Mcinerney, Dick Bromley and Dick Butler contact us every once in a while. George, who was in the class of '41, is with the law firm of Mcinerney and Mcinerney- he's the second Mcinerney. Bromley and Butler, when last heard from, were taking it easy after their discharge from the army.

Archon Witte has been named for the '47 issue of Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges.

University officials have given the chapter $500 for the army's use of Rho's house during the war. Mrs. Massey is back as housemother, and we plan many improvements for the house in 1947.

furnished by Henry Westbrook and his orchestra and a white diamond shaped locket, mounted with a gold fraternity seal, was presented to each of the ladies. The grand march was probably the largest ever held in the ballroom, with around 150 Pi Kapps and guests participating. Most of the success was due to the hard work of John Holland, chairman of the Dance Committee, and his able assistants, Bob Lake and Fred Brogden.

Carrying out an old Sigma tradition, the pledges gave the actives a party on December 19, and a very good time was had by all.

Cater Floyd is vice-president of the German Club and Henry Randolph is our interfraternity council representative.

Sigma won the intramural football championship at South Carolina. We held all our opponents scoreless-in six games played no one got within our for.y yard line and only eleven first downs were run up against us. It would be hard to single out any outstanding player because all worked together to form a very effective unit. We were coached "by Pi KapP James "Droopy" Atwell, a member of the varsity team, and

Chi has been very active socially. At the beginning of the quarter, a rush party was held at Lake Wcnoa, near DeLand. Members, rushees, and dates enjoyed boating and a picnic style supper. Throughout the term a series of informal parties have been held at the house. And an even greater social calen­dar is planned for the winter quarter, which will be climaxed by the annual "Parade of Orchids" on March 29.

At recent Homecoming Pi Kappa Phi's float won first prize in the parade, and our archon, Bill Reese, was elected Mayor of Homecoming by the student body . A large number of Chi Alumni were back for the event, and a buffet supper was given by the chapter in their honor.

Two of our brothers have been singularly honored by elec­tions to high offices on the campus. Bill Reese is president of students of the School of Business, and James Duffett is president of the honorary chemistry fraternity.

Omega Purdue University Omega Chapter has entered into campus activities--both

past and future. It all started back in November with elab­orate plans and decorations for "Homecoming." This was quickly followed up by our Founder's Day dinner in Decem­ber, at which many "old" brothers of Omega honored us with their presence. To top off the social activities, Omega men ~ave a Christmas party for fifteen under-privileged chi ldren in the Lafayette area. Pledge John Bornschein officiated in the role of Santa Claus.

In the ensuing semester, Omega Chapter has been honored by Bob Adams and Jim Hinga. Bob has recently been elected to the Mechanical Engineering honorary fraternity, Pi Tau Sigma. Jim Hin~a, who will graduate in February, was elected

The pledge class has been increased by two new neophytes; Tom Adamson, La Grange, Ill.; and Jim Beekman, Marion, Ind.

The month of January will bring forth two formal dances, starting off with the Inter-Fraternity Ball on January 24, and quickly followed by the formal pledge dance on January 25.

Alpha Delta Washington On October 2, 1946, Alpha Delta reactivated 'after an absence

from the Washington campus of about three years. In 1943, practically our whole house received "Greetings" from Uncle Sam almost simultaneously and, consequently, we closed up.

But, 1946 is another year and we are out full blast, all ready to make our chapter one of the best on the campus. We started with five actives and a big house and lots of ideas. We hand-picked our men as boarders, with the idea in mind of making them all pledges at some future time, and our plan has worked beyond all expectations. At present, we have 15 pledges and they arc a swell bunch of guys, all full of fire .

14

They are now in the process of learning all about the fratern­ity, and will be ready for initiation around January 10. We also have about five town men who drop in quite often and lend a hand with anything there is to do. Our a lums have come to life with a great deal of vigor and arc working closer with the active chapter than ever before. We realize this is only the beginning but, we have to start somewhere, and this is sometmng to build upon.

As for our social functions, we have had only two firesides · as of this wri ting. They were both very successful and we got

to know each other better. Everyone was a total stranger at the beginning of school-now we are just one big bunch, aim­ing for a common goal. At the present time, we are planning a mid-winter informal, with all the trimmings, and also a few more firesides thrown in. We celebrated Founders' Day on the lOth of December with about 30 a lums present.

Our future looks brighter than it has in the past ten years. After our initiation in January, we will have 20 actives living in the house which is the most we have had in a long time. We are trying to get more town men to help balance the house and, with the excellent support of the alums, we can see no limit to what Pi Kappa Phi can and will do on the Uni­versity of Washington campus in the future. You, that is all chapters of Pi Kappa Phi, just keep your eyes on the Pacific Northwest as you will be hearing a lot from us from now on.

Alpha Epsilon Florida The following men were elected officers to serve the re­

mainder of this and next semester: Bill Neale, archon; Bob Fe~reir, treasurer; Carleton Bliss, secretary; Ken Enzor, his­tonan; James B. Hendry, warden; and Alex Gable, chaplain.

We have initiated the following new brothers this semester: Frederick C. Brock, Lewis A. Sweet, John E. Matson Jr. and Victor W. McKenzie. This brings our total actives' to 43 a record for this chapter, and we are planning an initiation' in February which should bring our number to well over 50.

Our two newest pledges are: L. William Elgin, Jr., Miami, and James Tharin, Jacksonville. This gives us 29 pledges and we hope to pledge more during next semester's rush week.

December 5-6 weekend was the occasion of the annual Fail Frolics and the music of Les Brown and his orchestra was enjoyed by all. On Friday night we had our annual pledge banquet at the Thomas Hotel in downtown Gainesville. A picnic was held Saturday afternoon at Brother Bud Monk's lake shore camp in Keystone Heights.

The Jacksonville alumni honored the chapter with a dance at the Friday Music Hall in Jacksonville, the week end of the Georgia-Florida game. The whole chapter wishes to extend its thanks for an enjoyable time.

Wednesday night before Christmas vacation we observed our annual Christmas party. Following dinner the new officers were installed, after which all brothers gathered to listen to a recording of Dicken's Christmas Carol. The party closed with a toast to our brothers lost in the war led by Brother Fred Devant.

We are proud that Brother BilJ Harrell has been elected president of the freshman law class; also he has been nomin­ated to Florida's Blue Key, the University's highest honor.

The fa ll semester at Penn State has "een Alpha Mu regain some of its pre-war prominence on campus. As a resu lt of crowded living conditions in town, th ree rooms on the first floor had to be converted into an apartment for our cook. This forced the crowding of three fellows into most of the study rooms and necessitated using the card room and guest suite as study and sleeping rooms. The semester ~t 1rted with 45 men living in the house and 12 living out. WiCt the house

filled to capacity, the kitchen open and serving three good meals a day, things looked very bright for the semester. For those of you who may be acquainted with the Alpha Mu chap­ter house, the first floor rooms have been repainted, the fire places repaired and new leather upholstered furniture brightens the living room.

Homecoming found the chapter house filled with familiar old voices, mingled with those of the new. Alumni members who had not visited us sinc;e graduation returned for a gala weekend. Alpha Theta at Michigan State sent six of their fellows to help with the festivities and a perfect weekend de­veloped. Football movies, tap dancing and feats of magic highlighted th e Saturday evening's entertainment.

Founders' Day was celebrated with an evening banquet fol­lowed by appropriate short talks by the historian, faculty ad­visors, and Dean Hammond, of the engineering school, a brother Pi Kapp.

The annual pledge dinner dance was held on December 14 with 45 brothers and pledges in attendance. The Christmas theme was carried out in the decorations. The decorating committee may well be proud, for the job of decorating was beauti fu lly planned and executed. AI Mcilvaine and his social committee deserve great credit for planning the dance, which proved to be the highlight of the season on campus. To round out our social program, Clii Omega and Kappa Delta sororities were entertained at Sunday afternoon teas.

A few changes of address have been sent to us but our files are not yet up to date. All alumni members interested in receiving copies of Alpha Musings are urged to send thos!. corrected addresses in as soon as possible.

Alpha Omicron Iowa State Happy New Year brothers and alumni, and may this bring

new laurels to Pi Kappa Phi. William Carey is leading the chapter and doing a swell job

as archon, J on Doerflinger is doing an equally fine job as treasurer; Jack Marte is O.K. as secretary; practically all the brothers in the bouse have some office or job; and are a ll exerting every effort to make this year a milestone in our chapter history.

Keith Spiker, intramural chairman, led the fraternity to an­other honor in interfraternity touch football, coming out sec­ond in the Class A touch football playoff. Another trophy will be on the mantle for that. The two basketball teams, entered in competition, look as if they will be even better than the football. Peter Cuff was elected president of the winter sports club, and Eldred Harman and William Carey are active in livestock and poultry judging on the college teams. Bill Carey is local advertising manager of the AGRICULTURIST, Pete Cuff handles the joke column for the magazine; Bob Spearing is on the staff of the VETERINARY STUDENT, and Forrest Goetsch helps keep the IOWA ENGINEER cir­culat:ng.

Pi Kapps are also represented on many other organizations and clubs on campus. Jack Fletcher is active in Pi Tau Sigma, professional, as well as ASME; Vern Townley is back in the AICHE again; Jack Marte is in lAS; Institute of Aeronautical Sciences; Bob Hicks in the forestry club; Bill Kern, Agecon club; Bill Craumer, Agronomy club; and Jerry Schenk in the Block and Bridle club. In athletics we find Jon Doerflinger, J erry Schenk, and Vern Townley out for track on the cross country team .

Founders' Day was celebrated December 8, at the chapter house, with a dinner and speeches by alumni and undergrad­uates. Russ Litchenstein flew down for the event and we were gratified at the fine tournout of alumni.

Pi Kappa Phi's Rose Formal is to be given the last of May and any interested brother wishing to attend should contact us for speci fic information. ALMICRON is again being pub . lished-if you are not getting it, we don't have your addresses -so send them in.

Socially speaking, the house has informal parties every other week, as well as exchanges with sororities about every week. Several informal firesides have been given and more are

'16

scheduled . These parties arc usually given on Friday evening and are highly entertaining.

Since the house has room for only about 30 fellows we try to keep our pledges living in for at least two quarters before initiating them, as we feel this policy brings more interest to the pledges as well as helps improve th eir scholastic standings.

Alpha Sigma Tennessee At the end of the fall quarter we elected these officers: Tom

Vaughn, archon; Bob Payne, treasurer; Harold Crawford, secretary; Bill Enneis, historian; Edwin Hoskins, chaplain; Truett Lindner, warden; and Earl Goode, house manager.

We initiated ten pledges January 11, swelling our active roll to sixty-five. The new initiates are: Howard Baker, Ted Brosseau. Harry Bryant, Joe Dunn, Billy Farmer, Bob Flow­ers, James Holt, Bill Melvin, Bill Miller, and David Parr.

This fall we entered campus politics strongly by organizing a new political party which startled the university students with its clear cut and sound principles. Our campaign fea­tured such stunts as posting huge placards and dropping thousands of leaflets over the campus from a low-flying plane. Brothers Arthur Evans, campaign manager, Charles Martin, Tom Vaughn and Howard Baker are to be commended for their efforts in helping us carry this plan into action.

McDonald acted as toastmaster and introduced our guests, past President William J . Berry, Brothers Ralph W. Noreen, and John E. Stevens of New York; Brothers Ralph W. Wagenseller, Comptroller, Drexel Institute, John W. Deimler, National Historian, District Arch­on Raymond J. Cannon; Dr. James Creese, President of Drexel Institute and Professor Harold J - Budd. Brother John Deim­ler was the ma.in speaker for the evening and his words of encouragement to the active brothers were well received by all .

The first house dance was held on November 9, and it was a grand success. Many alumni were present, alon~ with all actives and pledges. Several other students from the school dropped in during the course of the evening and, from report3 around the house and school the fo llowing Monday, all en­joyed themselves very much.

On January 25 we plan to sponsor a dance in the Great Court at school. This will be a great factor in fostering closer relationship between the present actives and prospec­tive pledges, and do much to enhance the fraternity in their eyes.

At the present time, we have 31 actives, and pledges. With the rushing period a few weeks off our plans are to enlist as many pledges as practical, providing of course, the eligible rushees meet with our standards. Rushing Chairman Gene Kraber plans to conduct a smoker on the 30th of January and he and the rushing committee are now making plans for It.

Alpha Phi Illinois Tech Officers for next semester were elected January 13: Bill

Pottenger, former chaplain, was elected archon, and Seward Van Ness became the new treasurer. DeWitt Pickens was re­elected secretarY.. Others elected are: Mel Slaney, chaplain; Bill Burkhart, historian; Bob Boydston, warden; and Don Freeman house manager. Bob Applegate and Ch<irles Farr were el~cted steward and assistant treasurer, respectively. Traveling counselor Bob Morse a ttended this meeting of Al­pha Phi, and conferred with the chapter on various aspects of operation of the house.

Founders' Day was observed in Chicago by a joint meeting of Alpha Phi and the Chicago Alumni Chapter. The traditional banquet was held in the rooms of the Chicago Bar Association, and both branches of the fraternity were well represented. Cy Lowe district archon, and John F. White, dean of students at Illinois Tech, were the featured speakers of the evening.

The New Year was heralded with a New Year's party at the chapter house. The party was well attended, in spite of poor weather and many men having gone home for the holidays. Our next item on the social calendar was a very successful dance, sponsored by the pledges who made all arrangements and provided entertainment.

The chapter house was returned by the navy last summer, but some work remains to be done to the building. As yet, the date of formal initiation of pledges has not been set, but the entire class has passed its written examination.

Activities on the sports scene show the chapter to be per­forming quite well; however, the Illinois Tech interfraternity touchball tourney was lost in a 2-0 final game, and along with it, a traditional half-barrel of beer. At the present time, Pi Kappa Phi is the only team to remain undefeated in the double-elimination basketball tou rnament.
