SUCCESSFUL AND BRIEF CHAPTER MEETINGS can be had by observing a few simple principles:

1. Carry all administrative matters to the Executive Committee.

2. Carry only decision-making matters to the chapter meeting.

Here is how it works: Suppose you want to have a party. Let the chW ter decide what week it is to be, the type, and whether it is to be stag. Note that these factors are policy­determining matters. Refer everY

· other detail of putting on the pa~th to your executive committee wh!C will farm it out to a subordinate committee. Let the subordinate coJ11· mittee hash out things like menus, favors, music, program, finances, etc.

When these details have been worked out properly, have the coJ11· mittee submit alternate plans to t;he chapter for decision (again, not m· vestigation and discussion). If the committee does not yet have a wor~­able plan, throw the ball back to It for further work-do not work it ouJ in chapter meeting! Here time an interest is lost.

In summary, have all administr~­tive and investigative work done !0

committees. Only make decisions 10

the chapter meetings. -.IS YOUR FRATERNITY LIBRARY COMPLETE?

Message from the National President Will Rogers, once said words to the effect that, "To know a man is

to love him." So it is with an organization made up of men. One gets to know Pi Kappa Phi and the men who make it up pretty well along the way of sixteen years as National Chancellor and four years as District Archon. I suppose my love for Pi Kappa Phi will equal ~hat of anyone.

With love goes humility and a desire to serve. In accepting the · honor of the office of National President of Pi Kappa Phi, I do· so most . humbly. My heart, while humble, is filled with joy in the knowledge that , so many have given me so much.

The desire to serve is strong within me. I am cognizant of the curre·nt troubled times, and the dangers which lie ahead. I assume the responsibilities with trepidation because it may be that our history does not include precedents which would assist me in choosing the proper course.

How·ever, the other members of the National Council are able men. Together, we shall spare none of our energies in the effort to make 1951 and 1952, years of physical and spiritual growth for Pi Kappa Phi.

"June Bursts Out All Over".With Pi Kapps At W & L

THE actives of Rho Chapter had hardly finished their exams last

June and readied their house for the occasion, when a steady stream of alumni poured into Lexington to help them celebrate their 30th Anni­versary as a chapter on the Washing­ton and Lee campus. The happy occasion was held the weekend of W&L Finals, June 7-8. From a lively cocktail party Wednesday afternoon, till Final Ball Friday morning, Pi Kappa Phi's house vibrated with ac­tivity.

All the "old timers" were on hand. John Bell TowiU, '29, Augusta, Ga., stopped by on Tuesday with his elder daughter on the way to Mary Baldwin College. He came back on Wednesday. J. Davis Kerr, '24, Spartanburg, S. C., attorney, arrived Wednesday morning. After that the

4

"old fellas" came in by leaps and bounds. The crowd reached its great­est proportions Thursday noon, with an estimated 75 people eating lunch or swimming at Goshen, Virginia.

For Earl K. Paxton, it was "the happiest time" of his life. By the time of the banquet, which was held at the Natural Bridge Hotel on Thursday evening, the celebration had turned into a demonstration honoring him. Dr. Paxton had un­stintingly and devotedly served Rho as chapter adviser 2 5 of the 30 years of its · existence. Returning alumni pitched in and gave Pi Kappa Phi's "grand old man" a gold Hamilton wrist watch inscribed with a tribute to him for his ceaseless devotion to the chapter. Former National His­torian Frederick Grim presented the watch to Paxton which he accepted with all but a visible sign of emotion. The assembled alumni rose and ap­plauded him. He was pronounced the "greatest fraternity leader in the

University today" by Professor RUP' ~Rs b ert N. Latture, DU, who spoke bas il!tty the official representative of was ' ~ h ington and Lee. Alex N. Thompson, 10. n Jr., '40, presented the chapter wi~ ~!be, a handsome .framed portrait of P~ '0~Pt ton, a gift from Roy D. Witte, '4 ,' 1'~ of Roanoke. It will hang in RhO 5 e e living room. ars '

Toastmaster George McinerneY, '39, read a barrage of congratulatorY telegrams from alumni from all class· es, sections, and occupations. Jle kept the dinner alive and interest· ing. He read a letter from Found

SIX PI KAPPS • 1n a BROOM CLOSET f\ ,

a co~ !chol lohil

EDITOR'S NOTE: W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Executive Secretary of Pi Kappa Phi, recently made the tactical error of inviting Brother Merriman Smith (Pi) to a reunion in Washington. Worse than that, he asked Smith, because he is a writer, to compose a piece about the luncheon meeting for the STAR

AND LAMP.

Invited to the luncheon were such dignitaries as Maj. Gen. George G. Finch, Dillard B. Lasseter of the Agriculture Department, R ep. A. Sydney Herlong of Florida, R ep. George M. Grant of Alabama, Rep. Prince H. Preston, Jr., of Georgia, Sen. Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina, and unfortunately, Smith, who as White House correspondent for the United Press, has wandered far from his pleasant campus days at Oglethorpe University.

Here is Smith's account of the meeting, apocryphal as it may be:

BY MERRIMAN SMITH White House Correspondent For The United Press

I was quite busy the other morning, shifting cabinet members here and there and practicing nasty things for someone else to say to the Marine Corps League when my private wire jangled impatiently.

It seemed that a dusty messenger named Alpha had broken through the Confederate lines around Richmond and collapsed at the gates of the White House with a parchment in

his bodkin. After alert White House guards rolled his inert form through the fluoroscope machine searching for Louis Johnson or some other foreign object, the parchment was brought to me. This seemed a bit odd at first because it was addressed to " Brother Smith."

Being an only child, I immediately suspected a hoax. But my fears were calmed when I opened the packet

M' °F PI KAPPA PHI

It was then I discovered the hoax. It all came back with a rush. I re­called with sharp-eyed accuracy that Pi Phi is an organization on college campuses. It sounded precisely like something girls are always sweetheart of. And all the time I had been thinking this was some sort of clan­destine meeting to give Perle Mesta's job in Luxembourg to Ethel Merman.

I must confess I was confused. Normally I do not have luncheon without at least one major change in the government. So it was quite understandable that my eyes nar­rowed inquisitively when another gentleman at the table asked, "Do you think they'll get the house paid off this year?"

I gave the group a double Corona "ahem," and admonished them to worry not about the house, but about the senate.

"What happened to Oglethorpe?" said my luncheon companion on the right.

"Are you speaking, sir," I replied, "of the founder of the state of Georgia who died intestate (a sub­urb of Meddyshire) before 1800, or do you refer to the new Vanderbilt

A Quotation From

Wendell Wilkie "All the greatest civili%a­

tions have been the best edu­cated civili%ations. I do not mean what is often called edu­cation - specialists in me­chanics, chemistry, medicine, etc. Some must become me­chanics, some chemists, some physicians - all must make a living. But that is not educa­tion. I am thinking of educa­tion as a love of the liberal arts - arts that free the hu­man spirit - education for its own sake - the sheer joy of knowing and understanding, of analy%ing and imagining.

A K1ng of tseosrs, Dammit Ill, Omega's Great Dane

Interfraternity Slaughter On Grant Street Sigma Chi's Boxers, Bismarck and Butch, Have Free-for-all

Skirmish with Purdue Chapter's Great Dane ... DAMMIT!! From June, 1950 OMEGALITE

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen ... this is your mao-on-the-street­broadcast coming to you through the courtesy of the leaking towers of WPKP in West Laffingston, Indiasanka ... this burg is devoid of real people, you know, but automatons can be found quite pleasing, especially in West Laff­ingston. Why, here comes a four-legged one now . . . with the original bedroom eyes and that down-to-the-last-friend expression. He's that ascot mascot, your friend . . . and . . . and the front hall rug's friend, the eminent tree specialist, our own Dammit. Would you say something to our radio audience please? Hold it, hold it! Here come two more of the canine crew. Hey, quit sniffing Dammit ... no, he doesn't use Coylife soap ... oh my ... now if you want to fight you will have to abide by Queen Mary's rules ... ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, these dogs refuse to do the referee's bidding; the boxers are attacking from the extreme corners . . . Dammit won't yield any ground, and that fact is annoying the two attackers no small amount. Oooooo, that was a mean snap from the one boxer, he got a piece of Dammit's scalp. Look at him flaunt that meat around. But Dammit is okay and has just snatched a leg from under the other boxer. The dogs dive, wheel, faint, and parry between vicious growls.

"Dammit is shaking them loose, oops, the dirty dig, he's bitten Dam­mit below the ... well, just below. Listen, I hear shouts; and here come the hoses. The fight is being broken up with the help of some water ... the boxers are scrambling for cover . . . I guess that brings the massacre to a glorious close. Let's see if we can get through to the underdog ... will you say a few words to the radio audience ... oh, you are out of condition ... I see, they did not play fair ... and you are definitely not going to retire from public life? Well, that runs us to the end of our time, and it certainly wasn't like our regular broadcast. Goodnight kiddies . . . remember CMI brings you this broadcast over WPKP . . . this is yours truly, Kilroy Solwadski, bidding you happy dreams."

Such was the battle between Omega's beloved monster, Dammit, III, and Sigma Chi's boxers, Bismarck and Butch. Those two B's stick together and apply the "old gang" rule. They have had skirmishes with Bruiser, Phi Gamma Delta's bulldog.

Dammit, III, has had two predecessors at the Purdue chapter, Dammit I, and Dammit II, who have gone the way of all dogflesh. Dammit, III is still in good health, however, but if he expects to survive, he'd better team up with Phi Gamma Delta's Bruiser. Then the old law of survival will prevail at Purdue!

(Incidentally, in fine intrafraternity spirit, Sigma Chi paid the vet­erinary bill.)

2 Brothers Executives Of

largest South Carolina

Insurance Company

]:>·ln Greenville, South Carolina, two 1 .~apps hold important executive

PoSitions in the Liberty Life Insur­~nce. Company, which is not only the eadmg life insurance firm in the state, but also one of the most sub­sStantial financial institutions in the ·outheast.

The executives are Herman N. tiipp, Delta, and B. Calhoun Hipp, Epsilon, sons of the founder of the Company, the late W. Frank Hipp. . Brother Herman is Vice-President In charge of all Agency operations, Which extend over nine Southeastern States and the District of Columbia; and Brother Calhoun is Assistant V!ce-President, Investment Division, Lith principal duties in the Mortgage

oan Division, which to date has 0Ver $20,000,000 in mortgage loan accounts.

Liberty Life is headed by their elder brother, Francis M. Hipp, and ~as made remarkable progress dur­illg the past decade. Today, nearly 45 years since its founding, the com-

0 F p I KAPPA PHI '

pany has more than $413,000,000 of insurance in force; whereas in 1940 this figure stood at only $66,000,000. Correspondingly, resources of the company at the present time are val­ued at approximately $48,000,000; while in 1940 resources totaled only approximately $7,000,000.

Contributing to t hi s healthy growth was the consolidation, in 1942, of the business of another life insur­ance company with the business of Liberty• Life. However, since the consolidation, the strength of ·the company more than doubled, and the firm's advancement continues at a steady pace.

Brother Herman attended Furman University, and served as treasurer and archon. Joining Liberty Life im­mediately after graduating in 193 5, he was appointed Assistant Secretary of the company in 1938, and in 1943 was elected to his present position of Vice-President. From 1939 to 1944, he was District archon for South Carolina. ·

Brother Calhoun is a graduate of Davidson College, Class of 1943, where he was Epsilon Secretary and Rush Chairman. After being grad­uated, he entered the Army and served two years in ETO with the lOth Armored Division. Released

from active duty with the rank of Captain, he joined Liberty Life in 1946. Two years later he was made Assistant Treasurer and in 1949 he . ' was appomted Assistant V1ce-Pres·· ident. ~ot the least of his accomplish­ments m 1949 was his marriage to the former Miss Jean Jones of Hic-kory, North Carolina. '

Both Herman and Calhoun are members of the Board of Directors and the principal committees of the company. They live in Greenville and are active in civic affairs.

Pi Kapps can look to these two alumni for continued achievement.

Dean Hammond Contributes His Talents

To The Nation Harry P. Hammond, Alpha Xi,

Dean of the School of Engineering, Pennsylvania State College, played a big part in helping perfect the Na­tional Science Foundation Bill which was recently passed in Congress. He and Pennsylvania's Congressman James E. VanZandt were commended recently by Congressman Charles A. Wolverton, New Jersey, ranking member of the House Committee oil Interstate and Foreign Commerce for the time and effort they expended in steering the important bill through Congress.

In speaking of Dean Hammond, Wolverton said, " ... Dean Harry P. Hammond is entitled to a lot of credit. He was not only one of the pioneers in the movement to estab­lish a National Science Foundation, but his expert knowledge in the field of scientific research coupled with his administrative ability and the high standing he enjoys in his pro­fession, proved a tower of strength to us in our efforts to have this legislation approved."

In a statement after he had signed the act, President Truman said, "The act creating an independent agency to promote scientific research will add to the supply of knowledge which is indispensable to our continued growth, prosperity, and security·."

Portland Convention Sees Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship

Conscious

National Leadership Schools- Single

Payment Plan Adopted

THE Twenty Third Supreme Chap-ter meeting August 23-26 in

Portland's Heathman Hotel, took its initial step toward legislating against its organizations which fall by the wayside scholastically. A group of sound thinking undergraduates from 44 of Pi Kappa Phi 's 46 undergrad­uate chapters resolved that any organization which fell below the all men 's average, and held a position at the foot of the scholastic standings on its particular campus, would be placed on probation for a period of six months; and if the position had not improved at the end of this time, the case would be placed before a charter review committee.

The Regional Leadership School system, inaugurateq on a trial basis durin~ the 1949-50 school year, will now become an integral part of the National Office service.

Pi Kappa Phi joined the ever­growing. ranks of those fraternities adopting the Single Payment Plan of taxing the subordinate organizations for national fund revenues. A single initiation fee of $55.00 supplants the former system of collecting $35.00 initiation fees and a potential of $35.00 in undergraduate dues dur­ing the undergraduate days.

The five Florida chapters came armed for battle and came away with the honor of being hosts to the 1952 convention. Miami is to be the city.

In colorful ceremonies presided over by National President Howard D. Leake, Miss Martha Hagler of

William L. Abbott, Omicron, has succeeded. Jack Stewart, Alpha Zeta, as Travelmg Counselor of Pi Kappa Phi. "Bill ," as he is known to his many friends, is well qualified to follow Jack in this all-important post.

Born in Geneva, Ala., March 10, 1923, he attended the Geneva High

School and graduated in '41. Bill entered the U. S. Armed Services in '43. He spent thirty-two months in New Delhi, India, where he was as­signed to Theatre Headquarters, China-Burma-India. Theater. He was discharged in March, 1946.

Breakfast And Blimps On recent nights, big dirigibles,

covered with lights that make moving pictures, have been seen floating over the Metropolitan and suburban area of New York City. The latest one has on each side an illuminated fla­mingo in flight.

on his flying flamingo. He and his partner bought. up all the spare blimps after World War II. A Ia Arabian Nights, they float them over big cities lighted up with action pic­tures advertising various products. Across the sky they streak in the guise of birds in flight.

This form of advertising costs money. But the Douglas Leigh Corp­oration is uninterested in anything less spectacular. If an advertiser is so conservative he won't shoot a million on a new medium, they look for another client. They use their new media to advertise a product they've developed on the side, prove the value of their spectacular ideas, and sell their customers two ways.

Advertising what? Frozen orange juice, concentrated,

a "sure thing" in the commercial world of today. Almost everybody has to have it for breakfast. The pure juice, frozen in cans where the oranges ripen, is undiluted. They sell enough of it to float the Queen Mary and prove their point.

What next from these geniuses? Concentrated bacon, eggs and toast and coffee.

"CALLING THE ROLL"

Los Angeles Alumni Chapter A summer meeting of the Los An­

geles alumni chapter was held at the Mona Lisa Cafe, Los Angeles, June 6. Archon Emmett Alldredge called the meeting to order.

The first item on the agenda, the housing situation at Gamma was discussed by Carl Shafor, G~mma. He stated a huge housing program. for all organized living groups prom­ises to solve the living problems of a great percentage of the Universitv of California's student body. District Archon Roland DeWees discussed the undergraduate chapter's contacts in Lo~ Angeles in connection with the purchase of another house. Shafor gave an outline on the present con­dition of Gamma's house. General discussion followed. Brother Emerson Morgan, Gamma, stated the chapter's problems were very definitely a con­cern of Gamma alumni; he reviewed his experiences as an undergraduate at California. The consensus of opin­ion was that Gamma should not purchase a home in view of Cali­fornia's contemplated housing pro­gram. Archon Alldredge read a brief history of the founding of the fra­ternity.

The various brothers in attendance then introduced themselves and nam­ed their undergraduate affiliation: Emmett F. Alldredge, Alpha Eta· Don Koivisto, Alpha Delta; Jo~ Johnson, Alpha Zeta; Felix A. Sub­ject, Alpha Zeta; Lee Cameron, Alpha Zeta; Roland DeWees, Alpha Upsilon; Tom McMurry, Iota; Wil­liam Klein, Alpha Zeta; Bob Miller, Alpha Theta; Aaron L. Douglas, Alpha Zeta; Emerson Morgan, Gam­ma; Karl Breneman, Rho; Elmo G. Switzer, Gamma; James B. Harbuck, Lambda ; Selwyn 0. Littleworth, Gamma; Harry M. Anderson, Alpha Phi; Carl G. Shafor, Gamma; Charles H. Collins, Nu; Duff A. Kooken, Alpha Beta; and Charles A. Olsen, Alpha Zeta.

Treasurer Harbuck reported a bal­ance of $26.00 in the treasury and collected dues from members in ar­rears. Secretary Koelblen read the minutes of the April meeting, and

Davidson Time: 5 June, 1950.

Place: Crescent Beach, S. C.

Objectives: Fun-Party.

Epsilon

Personnel: Approximately 15 Pi Kapps, 5 dates.

Casualties: 1 sprained neck; 1 broken ankle.

Reporter : Jesse Fisher.

Operation Beach-Head got underway in rousing spirits (not distilled) and turned out to be an entirely successful under­taking. Led by Archon Bill Cassels and Pi Kapj)' Rose Charlotte Rustin, fifteen bro­thers, five of whom were lucky enough to have dates, descended upon Crescent Beach for a week of fun and frolic. Since the preceding two weeks had been the exam period, the change of atmosphere from stale to salt air was most pleasing and entirely agreeable.

Brothers Reynolds, Kil'er, and Dorton revealed themselves to be fisherman of the first rank by supplying enough fish for an entire meal. They were assisted by apprentice fisherman Brother Menzies. Chaperoned by Brother Charles De Laney of the Class of '47, all the brothers were in bed early every night with the exception of Brother De Laney, who having spent considerable time in Paris was unable to accustom himself to the early bedtime hours of the other brothers. All went well with no accidents except that Brother Cassels suffered brutally at the hand of Brother Kiser. While riding a wave in, Brother Cassels col!ided with the torso of Brother Kiser, a 230-pound guard on the football squad, who was standing erect in the water. Also, while playing football on the beach, Brother Fisher in a desperate try for a catch succeeded in breaking his ankle. Nevertheless he bravely struggled. on and obtained three different dates before they found out he could not walk. The week ended with all the left-over supplies being conveniently hauled back in Brotht- r Cassels' beautiful new 1928 Hudson. ·

Georgia Tech loto Now that the fall semester is well under­

way, Iota intends to progress. Our newlY elected house manager, George Sutton, baS accomplished, in a short time, many im· provements which make the house see!ll like home.

Last year we set up a good workable kitchen under the administration of Herbert Owens. He did a grand job. When he graduates this fall we sincerely hope whoever takes his place will equal his zeal. George Sutton, newly elected house manager, bas shown exceptional Pi KaPP spirit. He has accomplished, in a short time, many improvements which make the house more like home.

Our great est stride has been in cement· ing closer relations with Pi Kapp alumni in Atlanta. Last April, members of the re-organized alumni chapter, and Iota's actives and pledges, attended a "get­acquainterl" dinner to discuss some of Iota's r•roblems. Deans Griffin and Heffner offered some good solutions {or raising rmr scholarship point averages. In future, we hope to see much improvement.

The Rush Committee for Fall Quarter is composed of Bill Smith, Lou Fischer, John lllind, and Elmer Bennett. Plans are now underway for rush functions. We e~­

pect to have a successful season and have the support of the Atlanta alumni.

Attention Brothers and alumni: If you know o£ new men entering Tech, please send yo•u recommendations to our Rush Committee.

Cornell Psi June elections brought in the following

Officers. George Baroody, archon; William Matthews, treasurer; Ora Rothfuss, secre­tary; William Royce, historian; Loyal 'l'owers, chaplain; Harold Taylor, war~en.

Under the managership of Bob Maxfield, Psi won four and tied one to take the Softball league championship. The intra­lllural championship was practically in our hands, but victory was not ours. The decision went to Pi Kappa Alpha. We are Ptoud to have ended up in second place. Much credit goes to Eddie ("No-hit") F'eucbt, who pitched nine straight victories, and one of two pitchers in the league to llitcb a no-hit game.

At Spring Weekend, the biggest and finest house-party weekend at Cornell, Psi enjoyed itself by holding better than­ever parties; a Clinton House banquet; a beauty of a picnic; and we attended the Octagon Show and danced to Claude l'hornhiii's music. What a weekend II Psi teal!y needed the summer to recover from the effects.

We had our share of June graduates. ~ine of our best members departed: George llaroody, Paul Lansdowne, George Mac-1\ain Norman Maxfield, GeoJ;lle Muller, Staniey Pogroszewski, Glen Ranck, Wil­liam Royce and Kenneth Short.

Every d;y last term saw improvement in our bouse. Two attic rooms were re-

modeled to make beautiful living quarters this year. The work was undertaken as a pledge project. Our cellar took on a com­fortable warm look, the result of ceaseless toil of members and pledges. A recreation and bar were initiated Spring Weekend. '!'his little bar is the pride and joy of Psi. The house was open during summer for improvements and alterations, the biggest of which was installation of kitchen equip­ment. The end of summer found us with much needed table facilities. Besides the kitchen, general improvements were made to better living conditions for the 1950-51 school year.

We should like once again to remind all brothers everywhere the door of Psi chapter is always open; the welcome mat is forever a fixture in front of that door. Drop in and see us-won't you?

Washington Alpha Delta Officers elected to serve the fall semester

are: Hobie Brown, archon; Glenn Berry, treasurer; Richard Whitner, secretary; Verne Killing, historian; Bob Johnson, warden · and Duane Kinkaid, chaplain.

Sprin~ initiates were: Duane Kinkaid, Bob Johnson, B. Chayne Steinmetz, and Ken Dorman.

Our first Rose Ball since World War ll was the most successful function ever held by postwar Pi Kapps and perhaps one of the unforgettable memories of a lifetime for many of us. It was held at the rustic Ranier Country Club, ~ few miles outside of Seattle. Highlight of the even­ing's entertainment was the crowning of charming Sally Moses, Hillsboro, Oregon, as Alpha Delta's Rose Queen. Sally was presented with many gifts and two dozen red roses.

All details for the glamorous occasion were superbly arranged by Social Chair­man Glenn Berry, and ~obie Brown. The smooth music of Hal Carlton's orchestra and Rod Payne's decorations added to the

occasion. Other highlights in Spring semester were

a picnic at Lake Retreat and a Mothers' Day Dinner. Mothers turned out en masse. Many of us rediscovered what a swell date a mother is I

Auburn Alpha Iota Highlighting the events of Spring

quarter was our annual formal dance. Chairman Charles Hartwell deserves much praise for the well planned weekend. Friday night we enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner

arranged by Mother Whitley. After dinner we enjoyed a house dance and many private parties at local clubs.

Saturday morning the Student Activities Building was the scene of much construc­tion. Members, pledges and dates helped fabricate Brother Bill Ford's beautiful twelve-foot crest on the stage. Saturday 11oon we enjoyed a picnic at Lake Chewalca. When Saturday night arrived, our lovely Georgian-style<! home was once again alive with charming Southern girls. The climax of the evening was the leadout of girls from behind the huge shield descending two circular rampways. They were met by their escorts and entered into the grand march .

Miss Ann Galt, Selma, Alabama, led the dance with Brother Footes Drury. The best secret of the year was about to be divulged. The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi. Who was she to be? Miss Margene Roane, Trussville, Alabama, pinned to Brother Richmond Smith, was the lucky girl. With roses presented to the Misses Galt and Roane, and a cup to Miss Roane the chapter danced ·a no-break to "Pi Kappa Phi Girl."

The dance was a real success. Visitors from other chapters and from other fra­ternities talked about it long afterwards.

Alpha Iota took its share of honors and offices on campus last semester. Max Fore­man was tapped for Phi Kappa Phi, National Scholastic Honorary Fraternity, and Omicron Delta Kappa; Joe Pilcher was tapped ODK and elected President of the Student Executive Cabinet, highest position on campus; Jim Huey, Vice­President of the Interfraternity Council. T. 0 . McDowell, Secretary and Treasurer, Lambda Epsilon Chi, Pre-Law honorary; and Tim McGowin elected Captain of the 1950 Auburn Tigers, and tapped Phi Kappa Phi.

To our brother Pi Kappa Phi chapters of the Southeastern Conference, do not feel bitter when Auburn defeats you on the gridiron this coming season, since you will suffer the defeat not only through brawn but brains.

Charles Hardie, archon 1 Francis Richard­son, treasurer; Bill Stephens, secretary; Jack Stewart, historian; Page White, • chaplain; Dick Lowe, warden; and Owen Williamson, pledge-master.

George Aiken, Clay File, James Jones, Tom Boswell, and Lewis Miles graduated

21

in the spring. We have greatly missed them.

On the first anniversary of the restora­tion of our charter, we welcomed new active, Brother Bill Stephens, to our ranks.

We held our formal dance on April 22, at the Mansion. Decorations were of the tropical theme with palm trees, cocoanuts, and bamboo springing from different parts of the room. Miss Elaine Fitzpatrick, Kappa Delta, who was pinned to Brother George Aiken, was presented as "Rose of Alpha Lambda."

Past Archon Owen Williamson was pre­sented the Taylor Medal for outstanding work in Commerce. The Taylor Medal is awarded to twelve outstanding students in different fields at the University each year. Incidentally, Owen made straight A's for his four semesters of college.

-JAcK STEWART, Historian

Drexel Alpha Upsilon Over the summer some of our long

awaited projects on the house were started, the major part of which centered ill the cellar. We are constructing a meet­ing room and game room which, when finished, should be a valuable addition to the house. The rooms are being · finished with pine paneling, floors painted, and ceilings covered and painted. More work was involved than anticipated since part of the electrical system had to be rewired and some pipes rerouted. The whole job is being done by some of the brothers.

We held our summer shore weekend at Ocean City, N. J., September 8-10. The weather turned out to be perfect-every­one agreed it was a wonderful way to end summer vacation.

On November 17-18, the curtain will rise on our Sixteenth Annual Pi Kapp Show. During summer Brothers Don Advena and Bob Cornelssen wrote the script of this year's musical comedy. Days and nights of hard work precede actual presentation, and all brothers have some particular responsibility. The Pi Kapp Show has become a tradition at Drexel and we hope to produce another show still "bigger and better" than previous successes.

The officers for this term are: Bob Wolfinger, archon; Chuck Kuntz, treas­urer; Howard Roberts, secretary; Ben

• Hallowell, chaplain; Bob Cornelssen, war­den; Bob Stoffers, house manager; and Don Short, steward.

Two interfraternity sports are partici­pated in during fall term, touch football

and bowling. Last year our football team just missed winning the trophy a third successive time, so we will be trying to recover our championship form. Although not the best, last year's bowling team made a good account of itself, and pros­pects are good for a successful season.

-JAcK STREATER, Historian.

Newark College of Engineering Beta Alpha

Beta Alpha is confronted with the task of building up its membership; the chap­ter has lost quite a few of its brothers through graduation. Archon Jack Albright has instituted several new plans to re­plenish membership and we are looking forward to greater things this year.

Our interfraternity basketball team had a sensational season with only one loss. It occurred in a highly dramatic game which saw the opposition tie the game in only a few seconds play. The deciding score occurred in overtime called as a re­sult of the tie. This year's team will be undoubtedly endowed with the same fight­ing spirit and we hope to better last year's record.

We are planning a barn dance early this year. We hope it will add to the popularity of square dancing, and well as increase the treasury.

-GEORGE LEWIS, Historian,

Purdue Omega Omega elected the following officers to

serve this fall: Tom Haffner, archon; John Evans, treasurer; Bud Blackford, secretary; Dave Robertson, historian; Dick Murphy, chaplain; and Bruce Bolding, warden.

The last weeks of spring saw a beehive of activity at the big house on Grant Street. Our mothers, in traditional style, were honored on their day with corsag~s, entertainment, and banquet. A record of 40 moms were present; needless to say, a good time was had by all.

The annual spring rush picnic at Black Rock was a rousing success. After spend­ing the afternoon playing softball and boating on the river, we fried steaks over an open campfire. This year, strangely enough, it didn't rain, the meat wasn't forgotten, and Dammit, our Great- Dane mascot, managed not to get lost.

There were several other events on the social calendar-trade dances, and the annual T. A. P. formal, but in spite of everything the text books didn't gather dust. The average index for the house

during 1949-50 was 4.45, placing us third or the ed I among thirty-six fraternities.

Our kitchen, whose only hope \\'~ \Ve plastic surgery, finally got its face u:t ' \>o during summer. All new fixtures, a 51n]:d ~cia! dishwasher, a refrigerator, stove an ~0tid1 cabinets are stainless steel. With a ne~ 12

The first week of November, Pi Kapps will put on their second annual "Kampus Kapers" a variety show composed of all sororities and fraternities on campus, as well as independent groups. Last year's "Kapers" was a big success. We are look­ing forward to a bigger and better show this year.

Pi Kapp gridders are now out on the field digging up turf in ways that we hope will bring the football trophy to us. By the looks of the team, we will be tough competition. Good luck brothers. Last year our Pi Kapp oarsmen took the trophy for inter-fraternity crew. Although the same men won't be in the shell this year, the same spirit will . With varsity names like Ed Waters, "Deacon" Allen, "Bo" Allen, Roy Pederson, coaching us we can't help but pull them oars to victory. Cliff Miller's basketeers are now on the floor shooting their "'Two's" very accurately.

Louisville Beta Gamma Officers selected to serve Beta Gamma

are: Chester V. Hall, archon; Marvin

Schaffner, treasurer; Lee Dienes, secretary; Raymond Moers, historian; John Sehlinger, chaplain; and Adrian Van Bakel, warden. We also made an additional office of assistant treasurer to .prepare a man to take over the treasurer's job should an emergency arise. The first man to be elected to this post is William T . Ransdell.

Much progress has been made on re­pairing our house. A new face has been added to the first floor rooms. The actives and pledges alike worked on the project. This semester we plan to have a big pledge class. Brother Hauenstein, Rush Chair­man, and Archon Hall devised the system by which we meet not only the prospective pledge, but win his parents over to the fraternity.

Three brothers who joined the ranks of alumni are: Edward Kenneth Dienes, Edward Henry Schaefer, Jr., and Errol Richardson. The members who stayed around during summer vacation helped to prepare the fall semester program.
