Letters from Our Readers Capt. Thomas Been, Chi, Instructs in Gunnery

17 21 Liberty Lawton, Okla.

Dear Brother ]ones: As you know, I returned in April from Korea and was very glad to get to see you down at Chi if only for a very short time . . .

Enjoy the new Star and Lamp very much.

At present I am instructing in Advanced Gunnery here at Fort Sill and doing research on various things concerning artillery. Being a Marine among all this Army is like a fish out of water, but we get by.

Looks as if you have a good set up at National Headquarters, and I believe the Fraternity as a whole will benefit from it. Fraternally yours,

CAPT. THOMAS J. DEEN, JR., Chi '46 Stetson University

Alumnus Will Be Naval Air Cadet 2058 Rosemont Road Berkley, Mich.

Dear Brother ]ones: I am, or rather was, a member of Alpha Upsilon at Drexel Institute of Technology, and, after three years of Drexel's five-year Cooperative Business Admin­istration Course, have decided to change my future plans.

On April 4th I applied for acceptance in the Naval Air Cadets, becoming the third of Drexel's Pi Kapps to do so; the third, that is, in the course of two years. Previously, Pi Kapps have done quite well in the NavCad Program: Ozzie Miller, Alpha Upsilon, who became a member of a Navy Glee Club and appeared on Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town," and W. Tom Gtandy, Alpha Upsilon, who graduated first in his class from Pre-Flight Training at Pensacola.

Alpha Upsilon's air-minded brothers, however, have not restricted themselves in these past two years to merely Naval Flight Training. Brother Russ Boice has recently joined the Air Cadets, directly affiliated with the Air Force.

Well, to get back to myself·-! have been accepted and currently have been sitting tight, just waiting for my orders. As you can see, The Star and Lamp, now that I have left school, will be of vital importance. Fraternally,

AUGUSTINE J. BOTENS, JR., Alpha Upsilon '52 Drexel Institute of Technology

Drake, Alpha Mu, Compliments Omicron 5012 Smithfield Road

Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Dear Brother ]ones: This past week end my wife and I had the occasion to be in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and were able to visit the Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. This was the first time I have had the opportunity to visit one of our brother chapters, other than those of our own district.

Even though the boys were in the midst of finals, they more than went out of their way to show us the truest form of Southern hospitality. All of the members were so cordial and considerate that I felt I would like to inform you of the fine job this chapter is doing in upholding the ideals of our fraternal organization. Fraternally,

DON DRAKE, Alpha Mu '52 Penn State College

Bolt, Sigma, Acquires Retirement Home Otterbehl, Ind.

Dear Brother ]ones: We have purchased an all-year-round cottage on beautiful Lake Freeman to use as our retirero~nt residence. While we will maintain a home here in Otterbein, we expect to spend a major portion of our time at the Lake.

Here are the "fixin's" of our new home: Propane gas automatic heat; insulated against heat and cold; full gla;s front living room with three windows on right and left en s giving vision across the lake, up the lake and down the Jake; forty-foot boat and fishing dock, sheltered boac hover at one end; cement floored, sided and roofed room back uodel the front yard for storage of motor, fishing gear and th~ like-running water to a sink for fish cleaning; fishing dOC equipped with flood lights for night still fishing; etc., etc.

And the only fish I ever fished for or caught was bf accident in Charleston (S. C.) harbor in World War one while my ship was anchored there awaiting its turn to ent~l dry dock. My first chair crumpet player handed me hiS line and asked me to watch it while he went below co our quarters!!! "Ain't dat sumpin'?"

Needless to report to you chat part of my plan for the future incorporates catching up on much neglected coree~ spondence. To my regret I have neglected John Hamer an John Carroll down your way, but we have been covered fro!ll head co foot with score work getting ready co release co the new owner.

With every good wish for you, all the office personnel• and the fraternity in general. Yours in the bond,

WADE S. BOLT, Sigma '10 University of South Carolina

Men of Yesteryear Who Are

Still in Pi Kappa Phi News A SEARCH FOR THE NAMES of members who for

many years have played major roles in guiding the affairs of Pi Kappa Phi reveals the following:

Founder Simon Fogarty, CharlestOn, S. C., attended the 1948 Detroit Convention and still watches over the Alpha Chapter. It is a safe bet that he will be a ~Pearhead in the 1954 Fiftieth Anniversary Convention 1° Charleston.

Founder L. Harry Mixson, Charleston, S. C., still hits the banquet trail occasionally. He gave the Atlanta alumni and the Georgia chapters a real treat recently.

John D. Carroll, Sigma '10, University of South ~arolina, Lexington, S. C., National P~esident "way ack when," is back in harness as chatrman of the

Devereux D. Rice Memorial Fund. (He works at it too!)

pr. Will E. Edington, Upsilon '21, Univ~rsity of lUmois, Greencastle Ind., still watches over P1 Kappa Phi scholarship "in 'the interest of Pi Kappa Ph~." He, too, will hit the banquet trail when there are Pt Kapp &atherings.

R..ichard ("Dick") Yotmg, Kappa '15, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, N. C., editor of The Star qnd Lamp for 21 years, is helping the National His­torian judge the chapter publications.

R..oy ]. Heffner, Gamma '12, University of California, 1091 Brown Ave., Lafayette, Calif., retired, but you \Voutd never know it. He still gets astride a horse and Wanders off into the hills for days. He is back in the saddle as District Archon of California and Nevada.

Theron A. Hottser, Zeta '22, Wofford College, St. ~atthews, S. C., National President of today, is going tnto his 20th year on the National Council of Pi Xappa Phi.

Albert Meisel, Alpha Xi '28, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, 135 East 44th St., New York, N. Y., former National President, still rules supreme in his New York ~aw office but finds time to nail our hides to the wall tf we err in any of our statements. He is one of our most loyal Star and Lamp material contributors.

William ]. Berry, Alpha Xi '28, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, La Solana, Sanibel Island, Fla.,. former National President divides his rimes between hts home, "lbe Berrypatch," 'on Long Island and one of the off­Georgia Islands since his retirement.

t~-' () F PI KAPPA PH I

/

Wade S. Bolt, Sigma '10, University of South Caro­lina, Otterbein, Ind., who for so long published The Star and Lamp gratis, drops us a line occasionally. Until his recent retirement, he was in rhe hardware business in Otterbein, Ind.

George D. Driver, Nu '16, University of Nebraska, 309 Burns St., Ida Grove, Iowa, former National Presi­dent, divides his rime between Maine and Florida since his retirement but has not slowed down one bit and writes us fairly regularly co be sure he keeps his Star and Lamp files complete.

It is interesting co note the high percentage of the leaders of the 1920's and 1930's who have maintained constant interest and willingness co serve. These are just a few. There are hundreds of ochers. Have we omitted your particular candidate?

Editor-in-Chief ---1ri«p---

Publication Service Promotes Bugg William A. Bugg, Alpha Alpha '23, Mercer Univer­

sity, has been named Southeastern branch manager of Family Publications Service, Inc. He returns to Atlanta after a stay of six months in Dallas, Texas, where he organized and managed the Texas territory.

Mr. Bu~g·s office will service operations in Georgia, the Carolmas, Alabama, and Florida. A subsidiary of Parents' Institute, Family Publications handles circula­tion of Life, Time, Parents, and other leading periodi­cals.

He and his family reside at 2750 Dover Road Northwest, Atlanta. '

Beta Etas Chaplain Gives Prayer Dear Father, bestow upon our brothers who

have recently graduated from colleges and uni­versities throughout our country the guidance and judgment which they need in order to face the trials and tribulations of their future life. Instill in their hearts an ardent desire to be of service to their community and country. Help them to develop the often neglected qualities of leader­ship, character, and loyalty.

Be at their side in times of difficulty or danger and help them to lead a good Christian life so much needed in this troubled and complex world of ours.

President Houser Lays Cornerstone For Chi's New House at Stetson

By Mark C. Hollis, Chi Stetson University

EVERY SPRING, CHI CHAPTER at Stetson Uni-versity sets aside a full week end of fun. This time,

which is called the "Parade of Orchids Week End," was April 30, May 1-2. Many weeks and scores of sleepless nights for committee chairmen go into the preparation of the gala occasion. By Friday after­noon everybody is dead tired and the mere thought of dancing and "partying" is enough to make one shudder. Then Friday night comes, and the whole Fraternity and their dates are dressed in costumes.

"Circus" Party Opens Festivities

This year the theme of the Friday night party was a Circus. Mr. and Mrs. Theron Houser and daughter, Myra, drove in just before the party started but had forgotten their clown costumes. The dance hall was just like Ring! ing Brothers, with flags, pennants, signs, pictures, and, of course, the saw-dust around the entrance. The whole circus was there that night: the farmer with his flock of younguns, the red nose clowns; the acrobats and tight-rope walker; the ten foot giant, the cowboys, and some foreigners from China and

Pi Kapp Proves to Be Ambassador Of Goodwill in Ecua,dor, Panama

'THE MOST POPULAR Gringo" (foreigner )

in Ecuador's history is the appellation given George L. Capwell, Alpha Tau '33, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, by his "South of the Border" friends among whom he has worked for many years.

"Foggy is one of the most popular men of tJ:e class due to his ever-sm~· ing face and his athletiC ability. He carne to ud from the Canal Zone an following in the footsteps of the other men frofll his native land, he swarD and dove his way to a~ 'R' the first thing. Be ~s also a baseball player, h~S posicion being behind t e bat where he is well ac home ... "

After leaving Rensse· laer he became a srude?c engineer with a firra ~0 Cuba, then worked 111

Salamanca, N. Y., as a gas station attendant, and s00° starred to Ecuador.

A gentleman from Ecua­dor, where Mr. Capwell spent 20. years, says that Mr. Capwell's work in that country was "worth a hundred times more than 10 ambassadors in promoting understanding between the United States and Ecuador." This state­ment was made by Dr. Jose Vincente Trujillo of Guayaquil, who has been Ecuador's minister of for­eign relations, has served as Ecuador's delegate to various international con­ferences, and has repre­sented his country before the United Nations. Many

This is George L. Capwell, Alpha Tau '33, Rensselaer Poly­technic Institute, vice-president and general manager of the Panama Power and Light Company. Mr. Capwell, as president of the American Society of Panama, was delivering the address of welcome in Spanish to the President of Panama when the society entertained the nation's head in 1953.

Mr. Capwell arrived jo Ecuador in April, 1926, and began work for the power company as aO electrical engineer. !JY January, 1927, he was general superintendehot

Ecuadorians in high places have commended Mr. Cap­well as an "institution and social force" in Ecuador.

This information, as well as most of the other infor­mation included in this story, is gleaned from a story published in the RPI Alttmni News.

Native of New York State

Mr. Capwell was born in Olean, N. Y., in 1902. When he was six his parents took him to the Isthmus of Panama. His father had been a railroad conductor on what was then the Buffalo, Rochester, and Pitts­burgh Railroad, and in Panama he worked under Christopher Garlington, eleCtrical engineer for the Panama Canal. The senior Mr. Capwell wanted his son to become an engineer, and his son wanted to be one. On Mr. Garlington's recommendation, the younger Mr. Capwell enrolled at Rensselaer.

From the time Mr. Capwell was a boy he was inter­ested in sports, an interest which has been a strong force in his career ever since.

At RPI, where Mr. Capwell had the nickname of "Foggy," he was on the varsity baseball and swimming teams and played class basketball and class football. The 1925 T ransit says of him:

and chief engineer for t e firm's Guayaquil division and for two years dire~ed the installation of a new distribution system, includlDS modern street lighting in that city of 200,000 popu!a£ cion. Later, he became general superintendent and ch~e engineer for both the Guayaquil division and the R1?' bamba division, the latter operating from hydroelectriC plants at an elevation of 10,000 feet.

By 193 7 Mr. Capwell was general manager of b<Jtb divisions, a position he held until his departure in 1947 for his bigger job in Panama.

Lauded for Leadership in Spiritual Things

As an executive and engineer in Ecuador he was lauded for his "construCtive ideas and intelligent lead· ership in developing the industrial potentialities of th~ country," as a Guayaquil newspaper put it. Altho~8 this was important, it was not this kind of accompltsh· meat that brought him the great esteem in which hC was held in Ecuador. What really brought him so do~e to the hearts and minds of the people was his leadershiP in things of the spirit-things which gave them fullei lives.

He had not been in Guayaquil long before he was

Pi Kappa Phi's particular interest in this projeCt is one. of its alumni, Ralph B. Olson, Omega '41, Purdue lintversity. Mr. Olson is connected with the design engineering part of this particular job.

"The design is broken into four divisions-the sur-face facilities, the mill, the smelter, and the ere.," Mr. Olson explained in answering this reporter's inquiries about his parr of rhe work. "I am responsible in coordinating rhe work on rhe 'etc.' The water disposal system is one of the etcs. as are all ocher phases auxiliary to the actual plant, such as sewage disposal, rn~chine shop, warehouse (all auxiliary buildings), railroad terminal, over-all drainage program, excavation, ere., etc., etc."

~he mining corporation's project constit_U.t~s the destgn and construction of all the surface fac!lmes for a copper mine that will process approximately 35,00.0 tons of copper ore per day. The mine is underground.

The townsite is being developed by another company to accommodate approximately 7,000 people.

After leaving Linde Air Products in 1949, Mr. Olson spent a year in home-building in Denver, Colo. Since ~~en he has been an employee of the Stearns-Roger ••tanu.facturing Company, Denver.

Jack ("Handy Andy") Cook MC' s TV, Radio Shows THE LIKENESS OF JACK "HANDY ANDY"

COOK, Sigma '41, University of South Carolina, at his \1C'NOK mike in Columbia, S. C., adorns the front cover of the February issue of T eleVi.rion Gt~ide. A resume of his activities in television and radio appears in a fearure stOry in the same issue. Excerpts from this stacy follow:

"The sleepiest man in town is what people call him, and he freely admits they may be right. That's the thumbnail description of Jack Cook, featured on his own TV show each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at three on WNOK-TV, Channel 67. This somnolent sobriquet, however, is not aimed at Cook's TV activities but tO his radio program on WNOK radio where, each morning at six, he begins waking the chickens, and such early risers that might be stirring, with hillbilly music, under the name, 'Handy Andy.' Jack comes quickly to his own defense, however, by remarking that he doesn't actually sleep more than anyone in town, he'd just like to.

He Achieves Easy Informality

"Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at three, TV viewers are treated tO a show where most anything can happen, and Jack does his best to see that it does. In building his TV show, he has tried to keep in mind what he believes is one of the reasons for the success of his radio show, easy informality. He tries to make his viewers feel that he is actually visiting right there in the living room with them."

A native of Columbia, Mr. Cook admits he is a happy and fortunate individual, doing what he likes tO do, where he likes tO do it. In 1943 he was graduated from the University of South Carolina where he pur­sued a journalism course. Immediately he entered the Army and served three years, most of the time being spent in India.

He Goes into Radio after Army Duty

"He broke into radio at WFIG, Sumter, S. C., early in 1946, shortly after his discharge from the Army. He was hired originally tO type schedules and write copy with a promise of an announcer's job when one came open. He says it's lucky for him that an announcer decided tO quit after he'd been there only a week, because he was an awfully poor typist. From Sumter, Mr. Cook moved his radio activities to WRDW in Augusta, Ga., for a brief time, coming tO WNOK with his early morning show in September, 1947, where he has been ever since.

"Mr. Cook is married to the former Miss Mary Fran­cis Knight of Columbia. They reside at 1207 Deerwood Street. He is a member of St. John's Episcopal Church and the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

"When asked about his plans for the furure, Mr. Cook replied, 'I'd just like to earn enough money some day so I can afford to sleep late in the morning.' "

CALLING Drake Beta Delta

We have done it again! For the third semester in a row the Pi Kapps at Drake have walked away with the Scholarship Trophy. Never again will chis parcicular trophy deck the mantel of another fraternity. It's ours, and it ~hall always have its honored place in our house.

For eight years this trophy has been bouncing around Drake's campus. The A.T.O.'s had it twice, the A.E.Pi 's had it twice, only to have it taken away from them on the third try. Not so with the Pi Kapps. We scarred our co win that trophy three semesters ago and we never let down. The first semester that we won it we had a grade average of 2.346. The next semester we came back to win again with an average of 2.59 1. Last Fall everyone on campus was out to stop us from making a repeat performance. They all were aware that one more time and we would retire the battered, beloved old trophy. With sixteen new freshmen in the fra­ternity, we were a little worried. But, as things progressed the men began to work hard, and things looked up. The semester came to a close and everyone wondered if we would gee to keep the trophy and our high standing on campus. In spice of the tough competition, once again we "upped" our average to 2.658. This was more than enough to retain the trophy.

Brothers Charles Radke, Gay Helm, and Dave Beal were mentioned in the awarding ceremonies for their high grade averages.

Socially speaking, it's been one blast after another around here. We have had two teas and three desserts this month. We also have had a number of parties. The pledges gave their party Saturday night, February 27. We held a record party on the 13th of March, then a few days of rest and our biggest blast of the year, the Rose Ball. It was held at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

This year saw the pledges emerge victorious from the Pledge-Active basketball game.

We had nine pledges the night of February 27. That was during and after the pledge party. Later chat night the fol­lowing nine neophytes were ushered into the higher realm: Dick Nelson, Art Luebbers, Dave Beal, Larry Ballard, Jerry Stramp, Paul Davis , Dwight Flater, Dean Dunsworch, and Bill Button.

Emory Eta

April 12 we received our charcer and from then on we have been intent on establishing a firm foundation for our chapter.

Officers are Emmett Davis, Columbus, Ga., archon; Paul Bradley, Atlanta, treasurer; Charles Lewis, Atlanta, secretary; Bill Roane, Atlanta, historian; Olin Tunnel, Dallas, Texas, chaplain, and Mike Grubb, Manchester, Ga., warden.

Charles Lewis, our secretary, was elected treasurer of the Student Council here at Emory during the elections this Spring. J. C. Shearer, of Atlanta, has been appointed adviser for Eta. He has promised assistance from the Atlanta Alumni for our rushing this Fall.

THE ROLL Era is now composed entirely of rheology and pre-theolo81'

students, but we are nor limiting our membership to sucb men. It is our hope that because of the atmosphere thuS created we will draw high calibre men who plan co enter other fields of endeavor.

Most of the brothers and pledges are spending the Summer in some field of the Christian ministry.
