THE CONVENTIONFrom the E. S. A.'s Viewpoint

It was definitely settled at the Convemi'm VI hich met in At-lanta in July, 1915, that the next Convention would go to Savannah,Georgia, and that the time would be during the holidays. But theexact date of the meeting was not fixed on account of there beingno available information on hand as to just when the reduced rail-road rates would be on. Thet-probability is, at present, that themeeting will very closely follow the 25th of December, say the 26th,27th and 28th. It is necessary that this be settled by the SupremeCouncil before it can possibly be given out; but it will doubtlessstart on, the morning of the 26th. Those who attend may get thebenefit of the reduction referred to. The last day this reduction iseffective is usually Christmas Day, and then it is lifted until Jan-urary 1st, which seems to be late to have a Convention as most ofthe men will need be back in college by the 4th. But, as soon .asthe Supreme Council can decide upon the matters, there will he anofficial notification sent to the chapters and interested alumni mayeither address their chapters or ascertain directly from the Secre-tary or President.This much IS CERTAIN and grows MORE CERTAIN as the timeapproaches—there is going to be a CONVENTION, a great big CON-VENTION and a very important CONVENTION, pregnant with great pos-sibilities for the interegts of ri K (I) and fraught with many vitalquestions intimately connected with its immediate and future well-being. The New Savannah Hotel will be Fraternity Headquartersduring the Convention. Very attractive rates have been secured.These, with the reduced railroad rates should make it possible formany members to attend who, having long promised themselves atrip to a Convention, have been prohibited from fulfilling theirpromises on account of the expense involved.Then, too, this Convention comes at a time when the prob-lems of the active chapter are very pronouncedly present in theminds of their representatives. For months they .have been think-ing, discussing and planning of and for the Convention, the partic-ular issues to be raised there, tand wanted legislation.

(4)

The Convention

Some chapters have ere now formulated and submitted to thesister chapters their ideas of the most urgent legislation needed atthe approaching Convention. This is well. Thought and consid-eration are shown in such actions by the active men. The affairswhich concern the fraternity at large concern them and no f rater-nity can long exist Nulfich does not consider the importance of theactive chapter. For it is the active chapter which sustains theorganization in the aggregate. Interest in and on the part of theactive chapter should not be allowed to lag. It has been urged on theactive chapters by the Supreme Archon, both in person and by cor-respondence, that they think it over, formulate and discuss such'constitutional amendments as they feel are needed in the govern-ment of the fraternity. After doing this, submit the result to theother chapters for consideration and have in final shape at least amonth prior to the Convention, ready for presenting in a more con-vincing style at the time of the meeting. It is' earnestly hoped bythe officers of the fraternity that this may be strictly adhered to byall the chapters.

Some progressive legislation is to be expected. The affairs ofthe order cannot long remain passive, if there is to be improvementand expansion. Intensive measures must be perfected before anygreat extensive development can be acheived. This is fundamental,and should be borne in mind.

Now, men of H K (I), listen! Upon each one'of you dependsthe success in the developement of the fraternity, of the ultimatecomprehensive attainment of its ideals! If you are not contribut-ing your integral part, then you are not living up to your high vows.If you are mindful of the vows you took, if you viewed your obliga-tion to the fraternity with solemn speculation, then you will needno admonition to be present when the Convention is called to order.When you realize (and you doubtless will some day, perhaps whenit is too late) the wonderful opportunity you have of helping to per-fect an organization which has for its 'cheif aim the moulding of theminds and morals of young men, inculcating principles which shallhe their guiding stars through life, if there is the least of manhoodin you, you will be willing, happy to make those sacrifices which arenecessary. Render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's. You'll

-

(5)

The Star and Lamp

be proud of the opportunity to lend your assistance to the solving

of problems that are confronting the organization. If .you are con-

cerned in the name you bear, and the name of the fraternity to

which you belong, you will not rest until you have made your

humble contribution, be it in word or deed, toward firmly esablish-

ing the reputation of the fraternity as a true agency in uplifting the

college life of America by seeing to it that H K 41) is worthy of suchdesignation. And you will not be content until you have played •

your individual, yet important, part in removing from the history of

fraternity development the stigma which the fraternities themselves

allowed to be placed there.

This is much more easily said than done. Only by consistent

living and true principles can the proper ends be achieved by the,,

active members. To the national organization the same thought

should be given as to the chapter.

There is one very important item which should not be for-gotten for one moment between this time and the Convention. Thatis the election of national officers, to serve for two ensuing years.

This is the most momentous action that will be taken at the Conven-

tion. They whom you place in office for the coming years will either

advance or retard the progress and efficiency of !the organization.

Oh; they may all be good fellows and not intend to do anything that

would be detrimental to the highest interests of ,'the order, but, un-

less they have the ability and the stick-to-itiveness along with their

good intentions, they should not be selected. There are good men

for each of the offices in the fraternity; men with experience. I

venture the statement that it is a fact that an inexperienced man

CAN NOT do the work of an executive officer in H K (I)! If you do

not know who the eligible men are, get in touch with your sister

chapers, and converse or correspond with your alumni members.Perhaps they know. At any rate, give the matter careful considera-

tion from this time until your mission in Savannah is completed.And, rest assured that your time will be well invested.

Last, but of no less importance, remember that. YOU MUSTmake your arrangements to be there! That YOU MUST be there oryou can not have your part in the excellent work that is to be done.And, perhaps you will find, too, if you have never been to a Con-

(6)

The Convention

vention (you know what to expect ,if you have) that there is quite

a distinct and neat social atmosphere pervades throughout the

occasion. You will enjoy meeting the men from the various chap-

ters, and perhaps the banquet (on the second evening of the Con-

vention) will afford you the opportunity to match your forensic

capacity in friendly competition with them.

Whether the dates remain the same as tentatively aforenamed

herein, or whether changed, each active chapter will be notified be-

fore the holidays. All interested alumni (and of course all are)

may communciate with the active chapter, the Secretary or the Pres-

ident, at the addresses to be found elsewhere in the magazine.

Here's to shaking hands with you in Savannah!

JOHN D. CARROLL, E. S. A.

The Grand Secretary and the Convention.

(Brother E. R. W. Gunn, Grand Secretary, failed to respond.)

Alpha is Ready. Are You.

News of the certainty of the Convention being held in Savan-

nah was received with delight by the Boys of Alpha.. Savannah is

one of the most beautiful of Southeastern cities and is sure to be

attractive to the delegates, alumni and members of n K (I) who are

to count themselves among those present.

Alpha is planning at present to send a delegation of at least

four, and possibly more, and can be counted on to use every effort to

make this Convention the most momentous in the history of II K 4).

We hope that all the chapters are as earnestly interested, and look-

ing forward with as great expectation of meeting many of the loyal

Brothers. We will go with the determination that much must be

accomplished. May much be done to stimulate the development of

loftier fraternity ideals.

Alpha wishes to be well represented, so that in the future her

men may look back upon this Convention with pride. Come, fellow

Pi Kaps and let us head for the grandest Convention ever held, in

the Forest City. Every fellow bring the true spirit of n K (I) with

him. Here's hoping for a record-breaking time. Alpha is ready.—

Are you?WILLIAM F. PEECKSON, Archon.

The Star and Lamp

Gamma Will Be There With the Glad Hand.

For months every active member of Gamma has been think-ing of the part this chapter should play in the coming convention.We wonder if all the Pi Kapps realize at what a financial disadvan-tage this lone western chapter is placed in sending a sufficient re-presentation to a convention far across' the continent? And yetGamma has a hat full of convention ideas to discuss sa we are go-ing to Make a huge effort to "cut the buck."

To be definite, it looks as if Roy J. Heffner, '16, and Jo J.Tapscott, '1 8, will be in Savannah on opening day with a glad handfrom Gamma. Our hope is that in the future it can be so arrangedthat we'll never have to miss another II K 11:0 Convention.

REV B. WHEELER, Archon.

(Epsilon and the Convention—No response.)

Zeta Will Have Hr Full Quota

Zeta is looking forward to the Convention with great interestbecause this will be the first Convention at which we will have thepriviledge of attending and meeting the Brothers of our Fraternityin one large group.

We expect to send our full quota of delegates to the Conven-tion, but at the present time we can not state definitely who ourdelegates will be. Zeta representatives will attend on their ownaccord, as at the present time there is no money in the treasury withwhich to pay their expenses.

We know of no urgent legislation that need be enacted at thistime. Our opinion is that the next Convention should meet withsome active Chapter and give new life to the Chapter by the inspir-ation and help obtained through the Convention meeting with them.At the Convention we hear the ideals of our fraternity from others,sand also gain practical ideas and adviceo that we have not learnedfor the solution of vexing problems.

kll of the chapters should send their full quota of delegate;not only for the good of their own Chapter but for the good of theFraternity as a whole. Those at the Convention should experiencethe essence of Fraternity life.

GEORGE W. BRUNSON, ArCh09.

The Convention

Eta Expects Great Things.

Eta's discussion of the Convention was of great interest and*e expect a full delegation and a royal good time. The men whomwe expect there from Eta are: Bazemore, Daniel, Parham, Pember-ton, and Sanders. From the interest shown last meeting I feel surewe will have a great time, and that much will be accomplished.

You ask that I state a few of the things I would like to seeaccomplished in this Convention. In the first place, I would like tosee a regular date settled upon for 'the Convention, removing alldoubt and uncertainty upon that question hitherto existing. Al-so I think the national treasury should assist, if not entirely pay theexpenses of one delegate from each chapter to the convention, and

let the chapter, or individual, take care of further delegation. I be-

lieve in this because I think it entirely right and proper that everychapter be represented in the legislation, doing away entirely andforever with the legislative power of all Sub-Rosa members; for

these should be satisfied without legislation since they are satisfied

to bear no financial obligations. If, for instance, the conventionwere in California, as it i& likely to be before long, I doubt if Etawould be represented by a single delegate; and I have no doubt thatthese delegates coming from the Pacific coast will feel the weightof expenses rather heavily. Furthermore I would like to see a uni-form Ritual of Initiation among all chapters in a somewhat moresubstantial form than a dilapidated typed copy: four of these to befurnished without cost to each chapter and further copies furnishedat a reasonable rate. Also, the By-Laws and Constitution shouldbe printed, and as many as needed distributed among the chapters.I believe also that a Membership Certificate should be furnished

each member upon initiation, without cost; and that the NationalAssessment and National Monthly Dues should be greatly reducedor one or the other not required for at least the first term: but thatwhatever dues are settled upon be paid without delay by each manor chapter, or that steps be taken to curtail the privileges of such asfall short of the reasonable discharge of their duties. Co-operationand the full discharging of duty will, I believe enable the NationalTreasury to meet its obligations without pressing the chapters somuch. I believe that the chapters should come into closer touch with

(9)

The Star and Lamp

the National Officers and with the working and planning of thedifferent departments of the national organization, not necessarilyby expensive and scarcely beneficial official visits, but by regularreports and letters exchanged with all , departments at stated in-tervals. So that we would have some idea of what we have done,are trying to do; of what we have paid, must pay, and what becomesof it; so that the purport of all communication shall cease to be acall for money; for we will pay better when we knowl more, andare more interesed; and I feel sure a knowledge of what we are,and what we are trying to do, will awaken an interest in many whohave never yet awakened to their advantages, much less, duties. Al-so, the duties of a department or office should be fully and welldischarged by those holding such office, and the duties and obliga-tions-not shifted from one officer, or department, to another.

I am deeply concerned with this convention and the effect up-on the future of this Fraternity, and wish to do all in my power forbeneficial legislation.

Most fraternally,EUGENE H. SANDERS.

Iota Has a Kumber of Ideas to Present

When the 1916 Convention meets in Savannah, in December,Iota will have several representatives present. Our Archon and atleast two delegates will be there, and we are expecting several of ouralumni to also meet us there. With this representation present Iotawill do her part in making the 1916 Convention the best of those in,the history of the Fraternity. This Convention should mean much toevery Pi Kapp, and everyone who possibly can should be there. Weshould all,be willing to sacrifice at least three days of the Holidaysfor the Fraternity. As for the alumni, there is no excuse for theirnot be:ng there. Surely they can get away from work for the threedullest business days of the year.

• There are several important issues to Mile up this year. Oneof these is the question of fraternity jewelers. We believe that thefraternity should have two or more official jewelers. We do not be-lieve in limiting the business to one firm. Competition would give_us the best at a more reasonable cost.

( 10 )

The Convention

• Then, there is the question of expansion. We want about ten

more chapters in the next five years, and we will have them—but,

we must have the best, for our future depends upon the chapters we

accept and the class of colleges we enter. The size of the college is

not'of great importance—it is the light in which fraternities are held

in the particular college; this should be looked into carefully in each

and every case. The Supreme Chapter should appropriate a certain

amount each year to be used as travelling expenses for the purpose

of investigating locals in different clleges. One of the supreme of-

ficers, no matter how busy he might be, could make at least four trips

a year to look over conditions and talk to the members of the locals

of the various schools. In this way we could accomplish more than

by mere correspondence and, if we accepted fifty per cent of those

visited, we would have our two a year. Why shouldn't a young

fraternity search for new chapters? A chapter puts forth an effort

for members. There is no sitting around, waiting for someone to

ask for membership. The rule should work as well in getting new

chapters as in gettipg new. men.

We also think that the office of Business Manager of The Star

and Lamp should be combined with some other office, preferably the

Secretary or the Treasurer. This is the case in five fraternities—

a number combine the Editor and the Manager. One of these sys-

tems should be used, for we believe that better results could be ob-

tained than with the present system.

Last, but not .least, we should all think of good material for

new officers, for we are given to understand that several of the pres-

ent officers will not accept their offices again, owing to their being

overburdened with other work. The men we elect will guide the

fraternity for two years, and we must be careful to get not only

loyal and zealous workers, but min who will reflect credit upon the

fraternity—for our fraternity is judged in other fraternity circles

by the men who hold our Supreme Chapter offices. Think of this

and have some one in mind definitely for each office.

We wish all brothers a Merry Christmas and are looking for-

ward to greeting all of you at the meeting of the Supreme Chapter

in Savannah.' J. L. Ews, JR., Archon.

Kappa Places Arguments for Next Convention at Charlotte.

As we all know, our next Convention is to be held in Savan7

nab, Georgia, during the Christmas holidays. The one previously

held, in 1915, in Atlanta, has been discussed considerably and much

has been written of the glory of it. The Convention before that

was held at the Isle of Palms, near Charleston, South Carolina.It has been sevetal years since North Carolina has had the

pleafure of entertaining the Convention Pi Kapps. We North Car-

olinians want it again. We want our brothers to see the "Old

North State." We want the Fraternity to see what we are doing.

We now have three active chapters, and they are active in every

sense of the word. Georgia has three active chapters and they have

entertained the Convention twice in succession.We want all of our brothers to think this matter over and see

if they cannot decide with us that North Carolina is entitled to the

next Convention. Letters are being sent to every chapter, asking

their support in this, and we hope that we may have the pleasure ofentertaining next time.

The next question which arises is, "What city in NOrth Caro-

lina would be the proper city ,for our Convention)" My answer to

kids question is, "Charlotte, the Queen City." It is the most

central point for our Fraternity, for it is equally convenient for the

bulk of our chapters, which are in the South.We have about fifteen alumni in Charlotte and we are proud

of the fact that no city can boast of more. I shall enumerate a few

facts showing the importance of Charlotte.

"Charlotte is the Capital of Mecklenburg Countyand center of the biggest hydro-electric development inthe United States.

"It has four railroads, sixty-two daily passengertrains, diverging in eight different directions

"It ig the home of the Southern Bell TelephoneCompany for the Piedmont Section, with over 200 oper-atives. Largest telephone exchange between Washingtonand Atlanta.

'"Charlotte has an estimated population of 50,000and there are 450,00Q people within a radius of 50 miles.

"Eight banks with loans of over $12,000,000.

This matter shall be brought up at the Convention and we do

. hope that all of the chapters can agree with -us that "Charlotte's the

Place."- Our fifteen alumni are prepared to show 4rou as fine a time as

you can get anywhere in the United. States. Our excellent streetsnid ft:fe country roaes make autoinobiling fine; we have the carsthere for you. The Southern Manufacturers Club and CountryClub, as well as the hatelS,- have excellent dance floors, and we havethe ladies for such occasions.

The climate of charlotte is fine. The seashores and moun-tains are summer attractions, but no place excels Charlotte in thewinter, especially around Christmas time.

Let its all speak up at the Convention, and ask that Charlottebe the place for our next Convention. What do you say?'

Also, there are numbers of ways in which this interest can be

changcd into a live aggressiveness. Mu suggests that the greatest

need to H K (F now is the need of more chapters, both active and

alumni. We must expand. There is only one way to expand cred-

itably, and that is for every member of our Fraternity to lend an in-

fluence toward creating a sentiment strong enough to convince the

persons who have this in charge that there is a great need. There

must be enthusiasm; there must be life; there must be "pep." If

there is not a well-balanced combination of these attributes, our

fraternity life will approach its doom, and final failure.

Let every delegate go to the Convention with the slogan, "Ex-

pansion and Life," on his lips and within his soul.

Mu does not mean to contend that our success is dependent

upon the number of chapters we have, but she does mean to assert

that the larger we make n K (I), and the more national she becomes,the more stimulus we will have toward a glowing success.

We expect to send at least two or three delegates to Savan-

nah. Let every Pi Kapp get ,the old Pi Kapp spirit, and contribute

Xi Has a Real Live-Wire Conception

Some wise "gink" once got away with words to this effect:"As babes we need to drink of milk alone, and only as we get oldercan we take more solid food into our systems." This applies, to agreat extent, to Xi's situation, and the part we should play at theConvention which is to be held at Savannah. No one knows betterthan we do that our place is the humblest of'the lot. Our experi-ence in local fraternity work has been radically different from thatwhich we feel as a member of H K We had thriven for threeyears as a local, our outlook no larger than the college we were in,and a responsibility entirely negligible. When a member or twograduated, we saw fit to add one or two new men, and thus ourmembership was a constant, though limited, number. In one sensethis had its advantages. It led to great solidarity in friendship, andthe enjoyable times were not a few. One by one we added a fewstandards, but there was not a great deal of "pep" shown in keepingup to them until the past year. Then, the idea of a national frater-nity assumed large proportions. We began to awaken, to realizethat as a member of a national we would have responsibilities, ouroulook would necessarily become wider, and the bonds of fellow-ship much more strongly emphasized. You know the rest. LastMay we became Pi Kapps. But that was not all. We continued toread in TIIE STAR AND LAMP th6 fine expressions of cordial wel-come: Then we discovered that at last we were destined to becomeimportant cogs in a great machine.

You ask, now that we babes have begun to drink the milk offraternal endeavor, what relation will Xi bear. to the Convention?In answer, brothers, we can only ask you to wait and see. But, donot judge us too severely!' We are young in the work; we hardlyknow, ourselves, what we are going to do. But, rest assured inthis: the man, or men, who represent us, will watch with open eyes.They expect to learn, they hope to realize. From personal inter-views with every chapter representative they will learn ' just whateach and every experienced chapter is doing, and they expect tomake use of every constructive idea or suggestion that may occur.Our purpose is for upbuilding, our desire for a beginning and asound policy of action. In this sense we are selfish, but only inso-far that we may catch the spirit of national fraternity work.

(18)

The Convention

Then again, from another point of view, we are not "all baby."Rest assured, our men are supposed to have a little gray matterresting under their craniums, and we do not expect to be a bunch ofdummies. We do not suppose for one minute that all the otherchapter representatives have hard-binding mortgages on thoughtsand the expressions of thoughts. Nor do we imagine that they arebrain trusts and infallible. On the other hand, we realize that wetare an integral part of the Convention, and hope to become thor-oughly interested in every idea that is brought forth. We have nointention of being "fresh or obnoxious," please excuse us, but wesuspect that the other men hope to hear our ideas, too.

The greatest thing in the Convention, to our minds, is the get-together spirit and the pull-together spirit. We hope to witness athorough realization of both of these. We would like this, our firstConvention, to be a record-breaker and history-maker for all thatwill tend to better H K 4). We wish to get in the swim. We wantto help get-together and help pull-together. We expect to learnmuch, and, probably by some fortune, a measly idea of ours mayset the buneh to thinking. At any rate, you will find us heartily inearnest in the endeavor to make the Convention a howling success.

May it be a Convention of good, solid deeds and worthy at-tempts, and may the "pep" to be manifested inspire every chapterto finer and better work, that the name of II K (I) may take a de-servedly high rank among the fraternities of the world.

OUR RECOGNITION PIN

It is with keen interest that the writer notes that Pi Kappa

Phi now has an official recognition pin. This, I think, is a stride

towards becoming a better and larger fraternity. If our Alumni

are supplied with these pins, you will know one when you see him.

You will know you have a friend and brother where you are.

We ought to adopt some method of supplying every man with

one of these pins. A X E gives one to every life-subscriber! to the

magazine, but this is too exclusive. Some of our men are unable, at

the outset,, to pay the life subscription fee. When you see an A X

E recognition pin, you may well know that the wearer is a life sub-

scriber to the magazine. We want our men Ito support the maga-

zine—it is one of the vital parts of the Fraternity; but we want

every Pi Kapp to have a recognition pin.

A plan, which I wish to suggest, is that the different chapters

present each senior with one of these pins at the last meeting in their

senior year. Then the man would feel closer to his fraternity. He

would remember their thoughts about him and do much more to aid

his chapter. Many men, when they graduate, feel that their duty

to their chapter and Fraternity has been completed? They think

the Fraternity is only a college machine, but it is not. No man

should forget his chapter or Fraternity. He should bear in mind

that, although he has gone from the midst of them, his brothers

still have their thoughts centered upon him and are watching with

eager eyes to see what he is doing.

I think this is the most effective way we can supply every man

with a pin. The cost is small and the chapters never have more

than four or five Seniors a year.

Kappa Chapter is now considering this and there is little doubt

but that we will adopt this method of supplying our men with pins.

We want to know each other and we want every other member of

K (I) to know who we and the other brothers are.

We hope other chapters will join in with us and adopt this

Mme method—or, better still, how about bringing the matter before

the whole convention and asking a general adoption by the Frater-

nity?With every man co-operating with our officers, the prospect

for future progress and developement is very promising. Let's do

things, boys. H. G. HARPER, JR., Kappa.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTR'ORD1NARY

In due season the following most welcome letter came fromthe E. S. A. to the Editor. Brother Carroll is offering an induce-ment to Pi Kaps to exert their mental capacities.

Mr. Wade S. Bolt,Eminent Supreme Journalist,

Otterbein, Indiana.My dear Wade:

Will you be good enough to print for me the fol-lowing announcement in the columns of TIIE STAR ANDLAMP. I should rather it reach the chapters this waythan by personal communication, as I feel that all goodthings should go to the men through the magazine.

Yours most fraternally,JOHN D. CARROLL,

Eminent Supreme Archon.Lexington, S. C.October 14, 1916

AnnouncementIt is with great pride and pleasure that I have noted

the scholarship averages attained by some of the chap-ters of Pi Kappa Phi. In order to stimulate the work ofeach chapter and to encourage a friendly rivalry amongthem all, I have decided to offer, and do hereby offer, tothe Chapter making the highest general scholarship aver-age for the season of 1916-17, a loving-cup to be kept inpossession of the chapter during the succeeding session.And should any chapter win the cup for three successiveyears, it shall become and remain the popery of suchchapter.

The rules for determining the basis for grading willbe published in a subsequent igsue.

- The cup will not be a pretentious or massive piece,but such an one as to amply do credit to the chapter whichwill house it.

The session has just begun. There is plenty of timefor work. But, delay today, postponement until tomor-row, may ruin your chances. Now • is the accepted time.Here is to you!

Most fraternally,JOHN D. CARROLL,

Eminent Supreme Archon.

THE REVIVAL OF ZETA

A year ago the Board of Trustees of WOFFORD announced thatthey had decided to allow Greek Letter Societies to be re-instatedat WOFFORD. Because of Anti-Fraternity movement in the early'90's fraternities were prohibited in the College in 1906. Since thattime it has been the desire of the fraternity men to have them re-instated, and numerous petitions were sent to the Board. All wasseemingly of no avail, unil last year, when the decision was reversedand now WoFFmu) has Greek Letter Societies.

A group of students immediately petitioned for the renewal ofthe charter of Zeta Chapter of H K 4). Eight young men were,gathered together as charter members. The night of January 22,1916 was set as the night for the installation. Brother HerbertLangford came up from Columbia and acted as Installing Officer.Brothers John D. Carroll (E. S. A.), John D. Hamer, R. E. Moodyand Bobo Burnett were present to assist. The eight men who werebound by the fraternal ties on that night were: G. C. Adams, J. L.Bennett, Jr., R. M. Edens, R. T. Fletcher, G. W. Brunson, W. E,Easterling, J. T. Huggins and J. J. Burnett, Jr. Since that time wehave initiated the following: H. B. Carlisle, Jr., A. N. Brunson, Jr.,T. A. Blakely, A. B. Rivers, W. E. Breeden, J. L. Langford, J. F.Kinney, Jr. and W. Eaddy. We have men who are leaders in everyphase of college activity.

On page sixteen is a photo of a portion of our chapter. As thephoto was taken and made for the Wofford Annual it does not pre-sent all of our men. J. J. BURNETT, JR.

GAMMA'S PIG

In the latter part of last semester a genius of the fraternitymade a motion that we buy a pig, and that every time a lady calleda member over the phone he should pay nickel into this pig bank.The motion passed. For a few days the returns were large and itlooked as tho we were starting along the road to prosperity at afifty-yard sprinting gait. Several of the members did not knowthat they were, such social hounds until the pig entered our house.But, alas! as is the case with most speedy starts, our financial boom

(22)

Pi Kappa Phi Progressive

fell with a crash. Possibly the brothers suddenly became unpopu-lar with the co-eds, or possibly-their mothers and sisters left town.But the fact remains that the pig's financial boom stopped and the"frosh" grew fat from the lack of phone hopping. Deposits lessenedto a few cents a: week. Gamma was financially ruined.

This semester another "wise one" came along. Seeing thatpig bank was doing very little business, he proposed that every timea man was late to meals he should also deposit a nickel. Altho wehave never reached our former financial status, we now have a com-fortable income, and the pig gives us enough money to buy musicfor the piano. It might also be mentioned that we sit down to mealswith little fear of interruption and that almost every body is ontime. The pig showed us how to enjoy a good meal. Leave thatpart to a pig.

• PI KAPPA PHI PlkOGRESSIVE

Pi Kappa Phi is no longer an infant. The fraternity haspassed from helpless infancy through growing childhood and todaystands at the beginning of the period of adolescence. Every childthat comes into the world has the right to live and grow. He furth-ermore, has the right to.demand parental protection and carefultraining. In the adolescent stage the boy must have especial care,for it is here that he either makes or mars a career. He must betaught to acquire those habits- which make a full developed and all-round manhood. The boy must be allowed to grow. He must be

• made. to grow.

Pi Kappa Phi, the adolescent, has a just claim to grow and ex-pand. The Convention which is like the council of father andmother where the needs of their growing child are prayerfully dis-cussed, is soon to meet. What kind of a provision shall be madefor the growth of the child, II K 41)? Kappa Chapter wants to seeprovisions made for special supervision of the extension of the Fra-ternity. What we have in mind is that a man shall be provided bythe convention to increase the chaper roll. He shall preferably bea whole time man and paid by the Fraternity, for one year if not

The Star and Lamp

longer. We are not advocating hasty or shallow expansion or ex-pansion for expansion's sake, but we believe the growth of the fra-ternity should be intelligently looked after just as much as a truefather should look after the growth of his child. Our chapter rollis not (in numbers) one that easily attracts the petitioner. Wemust make this child a man that will attract attention. In the homethe father watches and directs the development of the child. Ifthat is the principle in our greatest institution, then could it not beapplied to ours?' Can we, we will do it?

DATA FOR THE DIRECTORY

Although the Eminent Supreme Archon has written numer-ous letters and made repeated personal requests that the Historiansof the active chapters send in to him a complete list of their mem-bers, past and present, as data for the new directory he is attempt-ing to issue, there are yet several chapters that have neglected to re-spond. Unless the directory can be made comprehensive there islittle use to spend money on it, so the delinquent chapters (theyknow who they are) are once more urged to see that their Historiancomplies and sends in without further delay, a'complete list of mem-bers, giving full names, dates of initiation and the records of anyhonors gained in college. Also their present vocations and ad-dressses. Some of this information may already be on file in theoffice of the Eminent Supreme Historian, but to duplicate is not al-ways to corroborate, and errors in his records may be detected inthis manner.

If you are interested in your chapter having a full list of mem- 'bers in this directory, you certainly should take pride in the accur-acy and correctness of your fraternity records. To this end you areonce more urged to see that the material for your chapter is sent inAT ONCE

• MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATES

There is now a full stock of the long-delayed membershipcertificates on hand, and arrangements for satisfactory engrossinghave been completed. If you have not received you certificate, have

(24

The Star and Lamp

the secretary of your chapter correspond with the Eminent SupremeHistorian at once. Remember, YOUR FULL NAME and the DATE OFYOUR INITIATION, as well as the name of your chapter must be fur-nished before the certificate can be issued.

GOOD-STANDING CARDS

Cards for pass-cases, or bill-folds, similar to those issued bythe Masons, Elks and other orders, upon payment of dues, havebeen adopted by the Fraternity, and will be issued this year for thefirst time. All active members who are in good standing with theirchapters at the close of the session, will be presented with these

I cards.

A Treat from Brother Odgers, Next Issue

It is just three or four days until the lines of this page will bespeeding thru the mails to our readers, but we must steal a bit ofspace to give you a very welcome announcement. we-- have in ourpossession a great treat for you, to be served in the next issue of themagazine. As you all know, Brother George Odgers, Nu '16, wentthe past summer to Rangoon, Burma„ India, where he is at presentemployed as Headmaster of one of the largest schools in Asia. Werequested Brother Odgers, before he left America, to write for THESTAR AND LAMP an account of his voyage. He promised to con-form to our request, and more, to contribute an article in a laterissue narrating his experiences in India. We have read the articlejust received* Fellows, it is great! Brother Odgers is a very en-thusiattic Pi Kapp. He possesses those qualities, which if common

(27)

Editorials

to every member of our fraternity, would place us at the front in

Greek Letter ranks. We only wish that some of our Pi Kapp

brothers might read the inspiring letters that Brother Odgers has

written us. Write him a letter, you who can. His address is 27

Creek Street, Rangoon, Burma, India. Possibly he may not find

an opportunity to reply, but we will vouch for his true and sincere

Pi Kapp appreciation.

The Recongition Pin of H K (I)

The recognition pin of Pi Kappa Phi is the latest addition to

its list of wearable insignia. The pin is of neat design and of modest

size. The scheme is a gold student's lamp in outline, with a white

state mounted thereon giving at once the two most prominent em-

hems of the order, and also the fraternity colors. Being thus com-

posed of the m6st familiar, the most recognizable of the emblems

of the fraternity, it is literally a recognition pin. The pin is made

for lapel wear, where it will always be in plain view.

To secure one of these pins it is necessary for the recorde of

your affiliation with the fraternity to be on file in the office of the

Eminent Supreme Historian. That is, the date of your initiation

the name of your chapter, and your name in full. This is to assist

the Eminent Supreme Historian in perfecting the records of his

office. Since these buttons, or pins, can be secured through.no one

else, you need not think you can get one unless this information is

furnshed or it is ascerained thruogh your local chapter that it is al-

ready filed in the office of the Eminent Supreme Historian.

As is familiar to all members, the present Eminent Supreme

Historian is Brother W. D. Crawford. His address is Box 506,

Columbia, South Carolina.The recognition pins are numbered consecutively, and your

name is registered against the number on the back of your pin. So,

in case it is ever lost, you can recover it without trouble if it is re-

turned to the fraternity.

The Beginning

The beginning is the most important part--unless it is the end.

What man, who has ever attended college, does not remember the

strain of the first few weeks—not to mention the first few days

(28)

Editorials

and nights, especially the nights? We arc almost persuaded to think

there is no more momentous period in a boy's life than his first

few months in college. How important is the making of his first

friends! How important is the process of getting the proper con-

ception of the meaning of college life, of fitting himself into the

general scheme cf things, all in the proper way! We believe that

the course of one's whole after life may be pointed and directed just

here. So the fraternity should get hold of the freshman in the be-

ginning.

And how about the beginning of fraternity membership? We

snail never forget the impression we received of what it means ti,

be a member of H K on the night of our initiation We felt that

we must be getting something worth while, for we had to pay a great

deal for it. Much quicker than we judge, the new members take

our measure. We dare say that the average member forms his

fraternal attitude pretty well from the first two meetings he attends.

How very important, then, it is that the new men should be looked

after; that care should be taken and labor spent that they may find

themselves in the proper relationship to the fraternity; that they

have a vision of its high purpose, and that they feel at least some-

thing of the loyalty it inspires. When new men attend a meeting

where there is little law and order, where there is little respect

shown for officrs of the fraternity, and at which not more than half

the members are present, they most likely get the idea they are in

the wrong bunch—at best they can feel only a poor kind of enthus-

iasm.

Then, there is the case of the new chapter. We firmly believe

that the future of a chapter depen-ls largely on the nature of the

installation and upon the personality of the installing officer. Let

us illustrate. A bunch of fine young fellows, live members of a

live club, who wish to enter a fraternity. They do not know exact-ly what they want, but finally decide upon Pi Kappa Phi. Their

expectation and enthusiasm run high. They make their plans and,at last, the long expected night arrives. And what next? The

thing comes off and the new chapter is either disappointed, luke

warm, not enthusiastic, or it is in high spirits, full of love, loyaltyand hope. Like installing officer and his work, like chapter.

Yes, the psychology of the beginning is very important. Let

us keep it in mind. EDWARDS, Sigma, '10.

(29)

The Star and Lamp

The Convention

When this magazine is read by its subscribers the Conventionwill be but a few days distant. We are earnestly hoping that it maybe possible for us to attend. Circumstances may arise to the con-trary. But, even tho we may not be so highly privileged, this is tobe a Convention of accomplishments, where men will meet with aneven greater determination than before to strive to use this conven-tion to the greatest possible advantage in developing the fraternity.

If we are accurate in memory, committees were apointed at thelast convention, in Atlanta, to formulate a nick-name, whistle, andthe like. Of course, we have a nick-name at the present, but thereis a better. Some brother has it in mind. We have a whistle, butthere might be some one with a more appealing "tune." That willbe a‘minor affair, however.

Many ideas, many suggestions, many plans, all may be brot upfor consideration. The wheat can be separated from the chaff, thebest ideas from the least important, and by dint of earnest endeavorand applied sincerity, we shall emerge from the Convention a betterand stronger fraternity. What have you, what has your chapter tooffer?

The sessions will be brief, tho it may seem that in three days agreat deal should be accomplished. It needs must be brief,, and inorder that we may acquire the more for our efforts, would it not bewell to jot down the ideas that we expect to advocate then?

In the Convention articles on previous pages you have read of.many of the matters that will be. brot before you. Many of thesecoincide with our opoinions. There is but little that we shall haveto offer besides. But, we'll be there with plenty of steam in ourboiler, if it is possible.

A Mere Matter of Condensation and Economy

The lack of department heads and the condensation of theExchange Department into mere notes and items that have beenjotted down here and then while reading the exchanges are markedchanges which you will note in this issue. Paper is "higher thanHaman" and we have condensed into fifty-six pages that which we

(30)

Editorials

might have allotted seventy-two pages at former times and under aformer condition of affairs. While we do not wish to operate thepublishing of THE STAR AND LAMP along "cheap-skate" lines, weare very desirous of giving the most magazine possible for the leastmoney. There are so many channels into which the money of theCollege man is diverted that we realize that it is out duty to make asaving here and a saving there for the sake of our chapters. Therewill be a day when our chapter list will be so strong as to permit ofless rigid regard for economy in the publishing of our magazine.

A Revival of Halftones

- In the Gamma Chapter letter in our last issue there was asuggestion that the chapters should .supply the editor with halftoneviews, groups and the like more freely. There was a result. Youwill note that we have seven pages of such ornamentation in thisissue. And, furthermore, we have a page ready for the next issue.Send them in, fellows. Let us have photos of your groups, rooms,

halls, houses, college campus, anything that would be of interest. Aguarantee to your college authorities that the halftone will be re-turned in Al condition should procure halftones of your collegeeasily. And, believe us, we will return them to you in good condi-tion. Send halftones well-wrapped in corrugated paper or a card-board binder that will protect them. Be sure to cover the face ofthe plates with tissue paper or book paper of soft texture. Theutmost care in wrapping will prevent scratching of the printing sur-face.

Who Will Emulate the Example of the E. S. A.

Where is the brother alumnus who is willing to offer a sub-

stantial prize or premium for the best chapter letter sent in to the

magazine during the session? Do not all speak at once, for thereare other ways in which you can serve the fraternity, if you butpause a moment and think. Such an offer would stimulate journa-listic tendencies and improve the general get-up of the chapterletters. Certainly there are many alumni who have wished for anopportunity to render such a service to the fraternity. Here it is!

(31)

The Star and Lamp

Communicate with the editor-in-chief and authorize the an-

nounce ment of such an offer. Do not let all of your model inten-

tions fall flat.Brother John D. Carroll has done the fraternity a great good

in offering a scholarship cup and we are hopeful that the rivalry be-

tween the chapters for the possession of the same will be so keen

that in years to come it may he said that no chapter has lost the

cup by a discouragin-; margin. Long live the Carroll Cup in the

history of H K 43.

Into, or Out of. Which?

Seven years have winged on sinced the editor has known the

joys of the association and fellowship of his Sigma brothers. Those

days are gone, past history, remote. Yet, as we indulge in remin-

iscence, we rejoice that we stepped into and not out of the better

experiences. There arc many advantages afforded the active that

the alumnus lacks, but the life of an alumnus, as regards his frater-

nity, is that which he makes it. And, there is a reward for each and

every endeavor--,altho seemingly unseen at the time of the action,

possibly.It grieves a loyal fraternity man to admit that there is such a

great percentage of the fraternity men who graduate out of and

pass out of the life with which they were allied and from which

they gained so much while in the active student sphere. The alumni

of H K ID are no exceptions to the rule, in either sense. Often the

chapter is at fault. Too often the individual is at fault.

Would that a plan might be formulated at the Convention,

whereby life subscriptions to THE STAR AND LAMP may be placed

within the reach of all of the alumni. Rather than to be pestered

each year with a call for subscription money, the alumni can pay a

life subscription, either in installments or in one payment, which

will place the worry with the management. Such a worry would be

gladly accepted as a duty for the sake of the fraternity.

A life-subscriber alumnus offers two-fold advantages to the

fraternity. The interest at four per cent, upon a life subscription

of fifty dollars would equal the present subscription rate of the

magazine. This would be a regular, fixed income into the publica-

tion fund, leaving the original amount of the life-subscription in-

(32)

Editorials

tact to be paid into an endowment fund, aid-fund, or some useful

channel upon the death of a member. That would be the financial

and would keep more thoroly in touch with the fraternity. Some of

life-subscription would be certain to make his whereabouts known,

and would keep mre thoroly in touch with the fraternity. Some of

our alumni are lost to the fraternity and, to their chapter. A mail-

ing list is easily changed, and fifty dollars is a good incentive to be

on the lookgut for. Will we accomplish this?

The Inter-Fraternity Conference

The eighth annual meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Conference

was held at the University Club, New York 'City, on Saturday, the

second of December. Approvimately one-hundred fifty delegates,

representing thirty-five fraternities, attended. There were several

important committee reports, vital to the life of fraternities. This

information we should have enjoyed "absorbing" but we have our

hands full with getting out this issue and getting ready to attend the

Convention. We hope to attend the next Conference, if offered an

opportunity.A report will be published in the next issue from the delegate

from H K O. Chapters, you should at all times have a copy of the

minutes of the Conference on hand for reference. Where is the

copy of the last year? Have you it at your finger tips, ready for a

reference, or it is lost, strayed, or stolen?

Scholarship and the Fraternity

However important other college functions and activities may

be, a student should not forget that his chief purpose is to study.

The college exists not as a social nor as an athletic institution, a

place simply for frolic and fun. Its purpose is to fashion and mold

a strong, virile, and versatile personality. And this result can be

accomplished only thru hard and unpleasant "boneing." Statistics

show that it is the so-called bookworms who have made good out in

the world.For a number reasons, then, it is very necessary for the frater-

nity men to make records for scholarship. In the first place that is

(33)

The Star and Lamp

what they are there for, and in the opinion of the write any man

who goes always on the ragged edge thru college has had a poor

preparation, is a fool, or an idiot. In the second place if fraternity

men maintain a high standard of scholarship it wins for them the

esteem and respect of both faculty and fellow students. It is not

reasonable to expect a faculty to lend its stamp of approval to any

'class of men who, almost without exception, maintain a poor stan-

dard of scholarship. Nor will they long tolerate such a condition.

We believe that the poor scholarship has been one of the causes of

fraternity opposition on the part of the faculties.

Too often the football hero who is halfback on the team is

full back in the class room. Yet he is brought into the fraternity

with much rejoicing and great tumult. He may become a good

fraternity man and he may not. We have seen it work both ways.

Do not mistake our meaning. We are not pleading for 'double

stars,' straight As' and 'Firsts' any stronger than for good, solid

earnest work that has a convincing thoroughness. It is great thing

to learn that social and athletic activities do not necessarily prevent

good scholarship. The average college student actually wastes

enough time doing nothing to pull his scholarship up to a high aver-

age. We believe that H K (I) should set a high standard of fine

scholarship and make every member feel uncomfortable who con-

stantly and insistently flunks. It is very gratifying to notice that

more and more emphasis is being placed upon scholarship in our

chapter letters. May this continue to be. EDWARDS, '10.

Briefs from the Business Manager

(Brother Ellis, Business Manager, sent us these very welcome

briefs, and therein are displayed the loyalty and spirit of the writer.

We hope to meet him in a few days. Brother Ellis has "handed us

a flower or two" in these items, and we publish that section with a

blush—male blush, if you please.) .

Don't forget the Convention—be there, for we need you. Are

you a loyal Pi Kapp? If so, you will be there.

What do you think of the idea of having two or three official

fraternity jewelers? We believe it would be better for several

reasons, one of which is quite obvious to all. This matter must be

decided at the Convention.

They turn out a very good lineof work, and we would be glad for you to write them for a catalog.They make a very pretty H K (I) pennant with the coat-of-arms for$1.15. Try them once and you will do so again.

We hope to see Brother Mixon at the Convention. He is wellremembered as our toast-master at the 1915 convention. We can-not do without him in Savannah. The idea of a "model initiationis certainly a good one, but who will furnish the neophyte?

A wise fraternity worker has said, that a man gets out of afraternity just what he puts into it. Are you putting yourself intoyour fraternity? If you will labor with heart and soul, you will berepaid immeasurably. You will be aiding your brother as well' asyourself. Doesn't it make you feel good all over to see a loyal PiKapp? Whatever you enter into, don't be a dead one. Get thespirit and the pep. That's the secret of success.

We want to have some of our Gamma and Nu brethren withus in Savannah. We wish to hear their views and ideals of frater-nity life. And then, the baby chapter, Xi, should be there, too.

There is a tendency, when boys get together in a fraternityhouse, to engage in boisterous conduct. Have a good time, but re-member your next door neighbor. Think about him and you may,be persuaded that there should be less noise.

1The alumni are not-supporting THE STAR AND LAMP as theyshould: Come on, fellows, send in your subscriptions. After youleave school you are not called on for any financial aid other than aSTAR AND LAMP subscription, and you owe that to yourself as wellas to your fraternity. The magazine cannot be a success until theAlumni unite with the Chapters to make it so. If you are alreadya subscriber, get someone else to subscribe.

Some of our brothers will ere long be offered an opportunityto send in a life subscription to the magazine. You will not missthe cost these prosperous times.

Many of you have thought of sometime attending a conventionand here is the time and the opportunity almost at hand. Dont missit this time. Don't let another convention pass by without your be-ing there. You will meet a lot of good-fellows, and when you gohomeward, you will be a stronger believer in H K (1).

Brother Bolt has certainly worked hard with the magazine,and but few know how he has been handicapped. However, every-one will agree that he has done well and the fraternity is to be con-gratulated on having such a loyal and zealous work.er. We arelooking forward to meting him soon.

The Star and Lamp

Any chapters thinking of having invitations engraved should

get prices from the Byrd Printing Co., of Atlanta. We personally

recommend their work.

How about a good chapter issue in the sp'ring? The chapters

must send in some cuts, for they are necessary.

Even if you cannot get to the Convention by the opening, be

sure to get there by Friday night for the banquet and the general

get-together.We need a good, live Alumni Department. Chapters,

you must

send in your Alumni news.

The June number of The Signet of (I) E K was a catalog num-

ber, consisting of about one hundred pages.

Many days must pass on and form into years before we of H

K (I) may even dream of such a magnificent venture as the general

• club house which A K E has built in New York City.

K K r has a Student Aid Fund amounting to $3,000. Plans of

the sorority are to increase the fund to $10,000 by 1920. Loans to

worthy Kappas are made to enable them to remain in college.

There are ten colleges in which A A A ranks first in scholar-

ship. It is to be hoped that the cup which Brother Carroll, E. S. A.,

is offering, will be an agency fon the placing of as many Pi Kapp

chapters in the top rank.

The Delta Chi issue which we received recently makes us laugh

—whole-souledly, not derisively. The news matter is presented in

numbered paragraph form, consisting mostly of jokes. The mag-

ozine itself is a novelty in it size—being about four by six inches,

or pocket size.

E A E was well represented among Uncle Sam's boys on the

border. At least two hundred fifty names (possibly more than that

—we did not count them) appear in the E A E Journal for Septem-

ber. The issue was also profusely illustrated with photos of the E

A E Guardsmen.

The catalog number of K A 0 consisted of about four hundred

pages, giving the alphabetical, geographical and chapter-list compi-

lations. Such a number is complimentary to the cataloguer. Were

we confronted with such a duty for ri K we would be rather

inclined toward "cold-feet."

The last issue of Beta Theta Pi certainly displays frankness,

and fairmindedness. The South Dakota chapter of B 8 ri indulgedin a beer party on the night of October 6th last. As a result one of

the members of the party was drowned, by falling from a boat. A

thoro investigation of the case was made by both the college author-

Exchanges

ities and the fraternity officials. As a result several of the chapter

men were expelled, several pledges revoked and a thorn lesson

given the entire chapter. Beta has given the fraternity world an

example of firm and prompt action toward the upbuilding of unsat-

isfactory conditions. May we pause, also, to think and 'question as

to the comparison of such a case and one of similar nature where a

group of non-fraternity men were the guilty parties. Could as per-

fect a punishment have been measured out? Would as thoro an in-

Vestigation have resulted? Would that some cases we know of innon-fraternity schools could have been so justly disposed of.

KAPPA BEGINS SUCCESSFULLY

This being the first issue of theStar and Lamp for the current year,Kappa wishes to extend its sincereard earnest support and co-operationin all the undertakings of Pi KappaPhi. Kappa has entered successfulythe third year of its life with eightmen back from last year and held itsown remarkably well against the mucholder fraternities at Carolinh duringthe fall initiations. The initiation wasbell on September eighteenth, thePilgrims, tried and true, were: W. G.Wilson. Wilson's Mills, N. C.; R. J.Crowell, Ashville. N. C., both juniors;F. C. Shepard, Wilmington, N. C.; R.L, Simpson, Salisbury, N. C.; and C.M. Hazelhurst, Wilmington, N. C.,sonhornores. They are all good men,tied a'n1 true, and can not do otherthan bring credit to Kappa and II K4,. After these men had successfullymade the journey, a spread was thozroughly enjoyed. Several Brothersfrom Mu were present. Brothers J.L. Henderson, G. M. Brooks, and W,II. Currie, all alumni of Kappa, werealso present. Kappa uses this meansto express• to all of them its pleasurein having them with us at the initia-tion.

In College activities Kappa is not atall lacking. Brother G. R. Tennent isat present with the foot-ball team onits northern trip. He is a varsity manand is showing up well at half-back.He is also Captain of the basket-ballteam for this year. He is a memberof A X 2 and a good student in Chem-ical Engineering. Brother Marsh wasrecently initiated into X 4> medicalfrateinity. He bids fair to fill his oldplace on the "Gym" tearn—lhis year.Altho Brothers Crowell and Wilson,also varsity "Gym" men and wearersof ' N C," have a strong claim to sharethe honors with him. But that is notall in the way of atheletics that Kappais represented.

Brothers Shepard and Perry, subs

en basket-ball last year, are claiming:la-es on the varsity this year. WhileBrother Hazlehurst holds a strongplace on the foot-hall squad, BrotherGriqin is at present engaged in theTends Tournament. Brother Perry isI-liana-1er of the First Year Varsityfoot-ball team and Brother Shepard iscne of the assistants.

In the classroom and Society HallsKappa is equally as fortunate as inatheleties. Brothers Shepard andI fazleburst are mentioned in thetwelve making the highest grades intheii class. They are both promisingcanliIates for 4, B K. Brother Perryholds an important office in one ofthe Literary Societies. Brother Youngis correspondent for two leading news-papers of the State. He is also anassociate editor of the YACKETY YACK,the College Annual.Kappa is planning to have a house

darce on October twentieth. Frompresent indications this promises tobe a very pleasant and enjoyable affair.Dances are desirable for more thanone reason, and not the least of theseis the improvement in the state of thefloor which necessiarily accompaniesthem. Those of us who alio*, our-selves to follow the line of least re-sistance and greatest pleasure oftenfind ourselves keeping time with theorchestra and step with some fairtempter of Adam.

In spite of sore thumbs, stiff arms,and "Charlie horses," Kappa is doingher best to uphold the name of H K

It extends its best wishes to itssister chapters for a bigger and bet-ter Pi Kappa Phi. "Whoop her up"on the straightway, and "Brighten atthe corner."

Mu opened th,e scholastic year of1916-17 with but three old men. Thethree are: Carl Edens, Rowland, N.C.; Earle Long, Milton, N. C.; R. C.Wiggins, Denmark, S. C. We arethus reduced in numbers because ofthe graduation of Brothers Bunting,Council, Gill, Rone and Sasser. Broth-ers Pollard and Angier have gone in-to business in Durham. BrothersRichardson and Hickman have goneto Cornell and the University of NorthCarolina.

Despite this serious and unfortunatehandicap, Mu has gone to work andevery thing points to a most success-ful year. Our prospects for repre-sentation in practically every importantphase of College activity is assured.We are certain of being representedin baseball and basketball.

In the different College circles Mu'smen stand high. The Sophomorebaseball and the Junior basketballteams are piloted by Pi Kaps. We arealso, represented in society and onseveral important committees. We aremaking a bid for quality and notquanity. There is plenty of fraternitymaterial on the campus, and Mu •iscertain to get her share. It cannotbe otherwise.

Several of our boys went over tothe Kappa initiation and enjoyed thegenuine brotherhood that seemed tomake itself ever present in the air.

Mu wishes for every chapter a mostsuccessful year in "Phidom."

Chapter Letters

Thus it will be seen that we repre-sent six states; and are to be con-gratulated upon this excellent list ofnames. We hope to announce laterthe initiation of these. There areeight fraternities at Emory; near onehundred and fifty new students, andof these more than twice as manyhave pledged to the Pi Kappa PhiFraternity than to any other singleFraternity. Pledging this season hasbeen done with vigor by all concerned,and with excellent results. We wishto thank all of our alumni who havebeen kind and interested enough tohelp us along this line. Such workcounts wonderfully, and certainly isreally appreciated, even it letters ofthanks seem awfully slow in reachngyou.

We returned the following old mem-bers: Bazemore, Daniel, Sanders,Shepard, Tyler; and are glad to wel-come among us agin as an affiliate,Anthony Hearn, of Cordele, who washere in '13.

Among our visitors were 'BrothersByrd and Durant, of Iota, who rodedown from Atlanta on an Indian, andwere therefore perfectly excusable foxheartily abusing the roads windingover "the red old hills of Georgia."We are always glad to have our Broth-ers from other chapters come to seeus. When we are in Atlanta we neverfail to take advantage of their stand-ing invitation to "make ourselves athome" and they are great at enter-taining. Brother Carlisle also camedown from Atlanta and helped usmightily during the pledging season.J. W. Griffith was here for the first'week or two, but after getting all ofthe "fresh meat" that he wanted hebecame lovesick—anyway he returnedto his native Winder. We suffer theloss of a good'man in him. BrothersJ. T. King and R. L. Bazemore whowere with us last year and *are nowattending Emory's medical departmentin Atlanta spent a short while withus. Brother S. E. Horne came by ashe was on his way to the Universityof Valparaiso, but no amount of per-suasion would induce him to remain

with us again this year. Our loss isthe gain of others.

One does not have to be overly op-timistic to predict for us a more thanusually successful year. We have menwho are going to be great in athletics,Politics and class standing. Membersof our Fraternity were successful insecuring offices in three classes. Thesemen are Bush, Sanders and Sheperd.Our new men are going to an inspira-tion to the older members; and it isto be hoped that we, the older ones,will not be in the rear. The interestshown in Debating and Literary So-cieties is exceedingly commendable.

The finest time of I all, tho, is atnight bfore study begins. Gatheredabout the fire in our living roomsuch a group of congenial men enjoy-ing the true spirit of fraternal life,with piano, guitars, ukeleles and man-dolins at full blast, and a half dozenlusty masculine throats more or lessmusically doing the latest song—atsuch time as this, reflecting over ourcollege careers, we find the full an-swer to the question: Why did I joina Fraternity? Then it is that we un-derstand the -fuller, deeper meaning ofthe Fraternity; the benefits which cannot explain to others, but which wereap more copiously each yeas.Hoping to meet you at the Conven-

tion,Most Fraternally,EUGENE H. SANDERS.

EPSILON IS OPTIMISTIC

As we have said each preceedingyear, Epsilon looks out upon the mostprosperous year of its history. Wereturned fourteen men and then, notContent with the number, were de-termined that we needed anotherbrother. In consequence of this, oneof the most prominent men on thecampus, J. A. Thames, of Winston-

Salem, N. C., was initiated into thebrotherhood on September 9th. Thisis a valuab'e addition. It again makesus sure of two men on the debatingteams, as was the case last year, andalso in him we have a possibly of re-tainging next year the managership ofthe Annual held by us.

Although it has not been announcedwhat fraternity won the cup offeredto the fraternity averaging the highestin class grades, yet it is certain thatEpsilon has either won it or givensomebody a terribly close run for it.We have only one man upholding ourhonor on the football field, but no oneneed doubt that he is fulfilling hisduty. However, Epsilon has won oneplace on the tennis team. Class bas-ketballr,as usual, holds two places forus.

Although the year is not far ad-vanced, yet several alumni have favor-ed us with visits. Fraters Blantonand Robinson have been up off and onand Frater Booe has returned fromSpringfield to pass the winter at hishome.

The crop of Freshmen seems to bevery promising. There are some tenor twelve on the string and with alittle skill we will land as many aswe want.* And there are some goodones too. The crowd at tile feeds areso large that it makes an old man feellike some big things have been happen-ing.

But the improvement of the frater-nity has been almost •citialled by the

(46)

Chapter Letters

improvement in the college. About400 students enrolled this year, whichnecessitates the addition of two asso-ciate professors to the teaching force.The long looked for gymnasium hasnot been constructed, although themoney is now in hand.

Oh! We were about to close with-out ment:Oning the convention to beheld in Savannah the latter part ofDecember. At least four Epsilonitesexpect to be on hand to see that every-body and everything Is carried on allright. More of us would come if pos-sible, hut we will have to be contentto let distance lend enchantment tothe will.

LAMBDA BOYS ARE RUSHERS

Lambda opened the year with nineold men. Brother Smith was forcedto leave school at the end of the firstweek and we were left with eight asa working base. We settled down to

hard work and pledged fifteen men,namely: Henry Robinson, '18, and J.A. Osborn, '18, both of Watkinsville,Ga.; Lexfort Duncan, Thomasville,Ga., '20; Kenon Mott, Jr., Atlanta, -Ga., '18; W. C.

-Six of these men have been takenin and the balance will be received inthe coming month. We think it is avery good bunch to be rushed by eightmen.

This year we are living at 297 Bou-levard, and we can well say that wehave the finest chapter house at G. U.We hope to give a dance in our housein the near future.

The absence of Archon Pattersonnecessitated a new archon and Broth-er N. E. Marshburn, '18, was elected.On the Freshman Club (T I) we

XI HAS GOOD BEGINNING

The first long session of school uponwhich we have entered as Pi KappaPhi brothers is here and tho we havebeen members of the fraternity sincelast May we feel that our real workhas only begun. Organized as a localfraternity for three years, we still felta little new as members of a nationaland the graduation of Brothers Dunnand Huff and the non-return of Broth-ers Mock and Saum have only servedto bear out our idea that we sliouldwait until this year to start to dothings.At the opening in September we

found our crowd consisting of ArchonA. Pelzer Wagener, Head of the Latindepartment here and one of the found-ers of Pi Kappa Phi at CharlestonCollege, and Brothers Blackwelder,O'Flaherty, Beach, Polvogt and Pflum.Ordinarily speaking, this was a smallnecleus, but somehow it seemed to bea good one. At once we got busy, andinst recently, took in four new men:T. K. Kane, Kane, Penna.; A. S. Craft,New Castle, Va.; D. G. Chapman,Woodstock, Va., and J. E. Hollings-worth, Whiteville, Tenn.Kane is a Senor, one of the finest

men in school, a natural born comed-ian, and a fine scholar. Craft is aJunior, the star pitcher of school, bigand husky, a likely candidate for thisyears basketball team and an honorman in scholarship. Chapman comeswith the best recommendation. He isa freshman and already has earnedan end position on the varsity foot-ball team. Hollingsworth is also aFreshman, a fine, likeable chap. Hehas already demonstrated his grit,since he has earned a place of half-back on the varsity. In the A. & M.game he played a whole half with abroken shoulder blade. All these mengive promise of being valuable addi-tions to the fraternity. There are tenof us now, and we expect to take ina few more before we finish, keepingin mind at the same time the neces-sary fact that we must "make hasteslowly."

Virginia Xi wishes to extend to all

its new brothers a cordial invitationto get in touch with us and start theball rolling. Some of our men expectto begin chapter letters in a short time.We surely have felt pleased to noticethe universal manifestations or cordi-ality exercised and only hope that wecan get nearer together to meet someof the old fellows.We have in mind the Convention

and hope to have several men repre-sent us at the gathering and shakehands all around and get to knowevery chapter personally.Our greatest problem has been to

find suitable rooms to meet in. Wehave been hot-footed after severalplaces and intend to land one soon.So far we have been using the parlorof our new benedict. Archon Wagen-er. and believe me, we have been tak-ing advantage of him.

This leads me to comment for amoment on the marriage of the afore-said brother. After some period ofardent attention to the prettiest teach-er a woman's college ever received inits doors he derided that life was toolonely and barren alone and this sum-mer he and she said the fatal words.I ask you brother Pi Kappa to rejoiceand make merry over the marriage ofthis veteran Pi Kapp.We expect to welcome our new men

socially by soon introducing them tothe belles of the town and vicinity.Our committee has several other so-cial ideas sticking away and they willbe presented in due time.Here's to a fine and prosperous year

for H K Let's do some things—and you will find that Xi is going tobe on hand with its share of the do-ings. A hearty word of greeting toall, and a hope that we can soon hearfrom some fellows, when we can talkof things that might be beneficial andpractically profitable to us.W. B. Huff (Z) is attending Johns

Hopkins University, Medical, at Bal-timore.

Yours in fraternal endeavor,"Us from Xi"

ALPHA'S OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT

The first half term of the college

year closed on November 4th, and all

II K 4,s made a creditable showing.

Our outlook for scholastic honors in

the present year is bright indeed.

Brother 131itch was again chosen as

the business manager of the College

of Charleston. The students seem to

have a great deal of confidence in

Brother Blitch, having elected him two

years in succession to look after the

business affairs of the magazine. The

College German Club gave its second

monthly dance of the session at the

Hibernian Hall on Friday evening, the

loth of November. All Pi Kapps who

were present report a very enjoyable

time. Several of our city friends also

were present.

Brother Peecksen is Archon of our

chapter and is completing plans for

the -sending over of a large delegation

to the Convention in Savannah. We

have three seniors in the chapter at

the present time: Brothers Peecksen,

Mitch and Kahrs. Brother Moore is

a junior, and Brothers FitzSimmons,

McMillan and Martin are freshmen.

NVe hope to introduce several new

names to 11 K 4' by our next writing.

Brother Weinheimer, 't6, is a reg-

ular visitor to the chapter. He has

postponed his post-praduate course

until next year, and is now Principal

of Mount Pleasant Academy, Mount

Pleasant, S. C. Brother Bowen, who

left us last year to satisfy his medical

aspirations at the Medical College of

South Carolina, in this city, is also a

constant and helpful visitor.

\Ve are expecting to give a banquet

sometime in the college year. We are

continuing in college activities and are

well represented in basketball and

track. Brother Blitch is a regular on

the basketball team and brother Mooreis the swiftest man on the track team.

We wish all brothers a MerryChristmas and a Happy New Year.

Fraternally yours.
