~o the Unknown Student (9? Jl )IT H all our athletic heroes and all our scholastic

) [A[) and forensic brilliants, there still are, as always,

~ a great body of men in the ranks of our under­

graduate chapters who do not shine in any line, who never

hear the cheers of the packed stands nor bear the laurel

wreath of classroom achievement. Yet most of them are

bright, upstanding young men, who do all of their work

well and fulfill every duty. Never do they do any single

act nor achieve any height that can place their names on the

heroes' role, yet they are the backbone of our chapters.

While we are singing the praises of the physically

brave and bedecking the brow of the mentally brilliant, let

us not forget that behind them is a rank and file of unheard­

of boys from whose names will be drawn a goodly portion

of our successful men of the future. A genius, as often as

not, is disguised in youth behind an unimpressive front.

The ordinary boy in the chapter house, even the (( dead

one/' is likely to blossom out as the gt')eatest of them all

when he (( finds himself)) in later years, provided the stuff

is there and he holds true to his ideals.

0 to.tttee on endowment. the ne of the important decisions was to remove C:hi/entra l office from 4750 Sheridan Road, C:hu~~o, to the new Carlson Building, 63 6 Supr Street, Evanston , Ill. Members of the

erne Council went to Evanston and investi -

gated the proposed location and were delighted with the possibilities. Upon removal · the cen­tral office will be in a new building, on the main street of the university city and just a few blocks from the campus of Northwestern University. While in Evanston, the council members visited the headquarters of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, where they were gra ­ciously received and entertained during their brief stay.

Provision was made for closer contact with undergraduate chapters and thereafter each chap­ter will have the benefit of a visitation , at least once a year, of the executive secretary, a Su­preme officer, or a district archon . The execu­tive secretary wi ll visit each chapter at least one time during each biennium.

Chapters were also regrouped into new dis ­tricts and provision was made for a detailed report form which must be submitted by each visitation official. In this connection, the name of the chapter inspector was changed to that of district archon, this being considered more appropriate and more in keeping with the spirit of the office.

To strengthen the work of the committee on scholarship and to crystalize the sentiment of the council, as to the desire for earnest scholas­tic effort of all members of the fraternity, the following resolution was adopted:

"That the Supreme Council is decidedly con­cerned over the scholarship standing of each chapter in the fraternity and urges the executive secretary, district archons, and all other officers of the fraternity to co-operate to the extent of their ability with the scholarship committee in promoting a higher scholastic standing within the fraternity."

A plan was also adopted whereby the dis­trict archon in every district having more than one chapter be required to recommend to the Supreme Council an alumnus to act as chapter advisor for each undergraduate chapter in the district.

Dawson announced that Albert Lee Smith, Alpha-Eta, had presented $10,000 to the col­lege as the beginning of an educational endow­ment fund through which needy and ambitious students may have the opportunity for a col­lege education. The fund is given in honor of Dr. A. D. Smith, president of the board of trustees and financial backer of the new girls' dormitory which will be called the Mamie Melt Smith Hall in honor of Mrs. Smith, who, until her death, was a tireless worker for Howard.

ity's door ready to be used to good advantage. Those who have labored with love in the past have brought it about ; the officers who have worked indefatigably and with vision to erase all mistakes, strengthen the foundation of the organization, open the avenues to progress; and George Sheetz, who has proven his worth in the admirable system of control and contact that he has evolved at the Central Office. Their work deserves the meed of highest praise and recognition. A high standard of achievement has been set that must be retained. Greater heights are to be expected and must be attained.

There is in this issue of THE STAR AND LAMP an excellent indication of the manner in which the Supreme Council has taken hold of the problems confronting the fraternity. I gloried in being present at that epochal, history­making three days' session of that body in Sep­tember. There came to me at that time an en­veloping vision of the purpose and possibilities of Central Office. The earnestness and zeal of those officers in behalf of Pi Kappa Phi was quite insptrtng. The fraternity is to be con­gratulated upon its Supreme Council and I am happy to be associated with them. I only hope that I can in a measure fulfill their desires re ­garding Central Office in relation to the future of Pi Kappa Phi.

Count me as a servant to all of you, seveqlly and collectively, responsive in the matter of sug­gestion for betterment, desirous of your con­structive cnttctsm. One of my great desires is to bring forth to a greater degree national con­sciousness among the members of Pi Kappa Phi , and if you wi ll consider the problems of the fraternity as your problems and take active in­terest in assisting me to solve them, I will be more than delighted. The shoulder of every man Jack of you is needed at the wheel.

I look forward with great zest to meeting each one of you and the privilege of calling you a friend and brother through mutual respect en­gendered by contact, actual as well as fraternal.

Yours to command .

The Folies Bergere has defi ­nitely and genuinely reformed ; in fact, we wit­nessed a performance shortly after the new edi­tion opened, and in gorgeousness of scenery, beauty of costume and general structure is not

P ~ ~ THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA HI ~G~~---------------------------------------------_-/ materially different from any one of the elabo­rate reviews in New York in recent years. In fact , generally speaking, it is more dressed up than some of the former Vanities and a few of the former Winter Garden shows. An interest­ing thing done at the famous old restaurant La Tour d 'Argent, is when ordering a duck they display to you its number from a band on its leg, ours being No. 913 7 6. This practice dates back to 1890. This restaurant under the name was established in 1582. Naturally, it has been rather thoroughly commercialized, in fact, it is almost impossible to find one of the old popular restaurants, the majority of whose patrons are not Americans. We were fortunate in getting a new Hispano Suiza with a good chauffeur, making a tour of the battlefields­Compiegne Forest , Rheims, etc., including Chemin'des Dames. What complete utter deso­lation still obtains in some places ! The restored country and villages are nothing short of mi­raculous. One marvels that life of any kind could survive such warfare and it is a tribute to the energy and tenacity of France and her people. The almost complete restoration of the war-torn areas stands out as one of the remark­able achievements of all time. In this connec­tion it was noted in all the motoring we did over the entire country, how diminutive the new crop of soldiers is . They look small, scrawny and under nourished , compared to the ones I saw in 1917-18-19. With a population of forty mill ions, it is a serious thing to kill off a million and a half of the best men and starve the growing generation. Carrying the idea farther back, say to the Napoleonic wars when the best of French manhood was almost entirely wiped out and considering that the nation has been engaged in important conflicts for some centuries, personally I marvel at its fortitude, courage, intellectual honesty and endurance. The average Frenchman is pitifully poor, and being an agricultural rather than a manufactur­ing race, these poor people work exceedingly hard and have very little to show for it . We rarely beard war referred to . German banks and companies advertise in most of the trains and the two nations seem to find it to their mutual advantage to get along and do business to­gether.

ew. The new palatial Californie Pal-

ace on the side of the hill overlooking the Mediterranean. Beautiful flowers in all the gar­dens, lovely mimosa growing everywhere. Each villa gay with flowers though it was early March. A nice Voisin with an efficient, cour­teous French chauffeur. Here we paid four francs a kilometer (three-fifths of a mile ), which :figures about 23 cents a mile, and you pay for the care of the chauffeur; he pays for the gaso­line and all equipment. Lovely drives over those truly remarkable roads , Grand Corniche, Middle Corniche and Lower Corniche. Lunch at the famous hotel and restaurant at Monte Carlo, Cafe de Paris, and a very interesting visit to the Casino. This was by daylight and per­haps that was why it looked so sordid and cheap. Of the people I saw entering the Casino, no less than 65 per cent were women and of these women I would assume that fully 80 per cent of them were well over :fifty-five . What an interesting sight it is around the roulette tables ! Every possible type of humanity and some that seem impossible, looking and acting as they do. We did not visit the baccarat rooms at Monte Carlo. There is one so-called " sport" right behind the Casino on a point built out into the Mediterranean , which is the shooting of live pigeons. A string is pulled and a live pigeon is released , at which, for a fee, a person has two shots. The pigeon is re ­leased facing the sea and of course, when it comes out of the trap it turns around and attempts to fly back to land. These poor wounded crea­tures are pitiful. some having a leg or a wing shot off, others with a shot through their body. A trained dog retrieves them. Some fall into the sea and others fall in the streets and gardens. Sometimes a thrifty Frenchman will be seen in a boat, picking up these " treasures" which have fallen into the water.

Over across the harbor from Monte Carlo is the palace of the Prince of Monaco. The young man was at home so we were not able to visit the palace itself, contenting ourselves with visit ­ing the gardens and outside of the buildings. Monte Carlo is quite a city and Nice has come to be a very thickly populated city. I think Monte Carlo is located in as beautiful a spot as I have ever seen.

We were fortunate in taking some twenty reels of movies on our trip and the Customs Authorities at no time gave any concern to our

camera or films .

At Cannes the crowd is rather different and at the Casino the character of people is distinct ­ly better than at the Casino at Monte Carlo. In one part of the Casino at Cannes the lighter operas were given each evening but in the gam ­ing rooms in the same building not a sound was heard other than the normal ones. At Cannes, roulette is not played at the Casino but they have a game that is a first cousin, called La Boule. It is a much milder game and it is a very simple matter to pay a small fee and get admission . The baccarat room is en­tirely another matter. Here you must produce your passport and each purchase an admission card which is good for thirty days and as I recall , this costs about $5.00 each, which we ·thought a rather high tax to watch the other fellow gamble . The maximum and minimum stakes varied at the different tables. I remember one table at which there was much excitement, the minimum bet in one play being $100. The men and women at these gaming tables were generally speaking, very nice-looking people. Cannes has come to be one of the most fashion ­able winter resorts -on the Riviera. It is very popular with the English .

Being very fond of motoring and having a strong desire to see the old Roman part of France, we expressed most of our baggage to the Plaza Athenee in Paris and in the Voisin, with our typical French chaffeur, proceeded down that beautiful and interesting drive just skirting the Mediterranean , turning away from the Mediterranean at St. Raphael, on through Frejus and Aix-en-Provence, through the real heart of charming old Provence. Hills and olive trees-olive trees and hills! A wonderful lunch at Aix, which at one time was an im­portant town of old Rome, and then at the same 80 kilometer per hour pace over long stretches of straight road , lined on the north side by an ­cient cypress trees placed close together . The farmer , beginning some centuries back in Pro ­vence, has protected his fields and crops and

fruit trees on the north by row after roVI d these beautiful, picturesque cypress trees. I

It was built by the Ro­Pur/ some 2,500 years ago to conduct fresh, forty Wa~er from the mountains to Nimes, some line ~lies away. Instead of the usual single top ~lth arches, there are three lines, one on &oes ~h:h~ ~ther. each with arches. The story a se . t lt 1s the only example one can :find of

ttous · tects m1stake made by the Roman archi-and engineers and here is the reason for it.

They built the :first tier, thinking this would be tall enough to carry the water over the high ­est peak between that point and Nimes and found they were mistaken; they built a second tier and :finding this still inadequate, put on the third and :final tier. This carried the water itself and this aqueduct in its completed form is one of the finest monuments in the world to the engineering skill and architectural ability of that particular period. That part of the aqueduct which carries the water itself, was put together with a kind of cement and is still holding today. The top is covered over with huge :flat stones, still remaining, with an open­ing about every thirty feet, so that the water could purify itself in the air. As one walks through the aqueduct, it is interesting to note that over the hundreds of years in which it was actually used, the water has left incrustations and lime deposits on the original stone, which deposits are about two feet thick on each side and therefore, cut down the carrying capacity of the aqueduct by very nearly one-half. At places it is a little difficult to determine where the stone ends and the incrustations begin. Local stories tell you of how a church and several houses were at different times built out of stones shaped from these incrustations. With great reluctance we left this beautiful spot and motored on to Nimes for lunch . Here is the famous Maison Caree, after which the Made­leine at Paris is modeled, and which is in a re­markable state of preservation, as is the huge arena; the famous Roman baths into which came the waters from the aqueduct about which we have just been speaking. From springs and wells, the baths are still supplied with abundant water and the old Roman marble steps are still there. The Romans bad a system of heating the water and hot or cold baths were supplied. In the grove immediately ad­joining and surrounding the baths is the remains of an old Temple of Diana which was later said to be used by the Cl:Jristians for a church and we see here an absolutely perfect example ·of the old pagan custom of bathing themselves and stepping out into the grove to worship at the Shrine of Venus or Diana .

Came the dawn of a new day. In the glowing sunrise, two Pi Kapp pledges dropped from the slow moving freight to the wooden platform of the Clarksfork station. Several minutes later they assem­bled their huge packs, picked up their fowling pieces, and set forth up

Lightning Creek to bring a bear skin back to the Alpha-Delta chapter house. Why did they want to bring a bear skin back to the house, is the inquiry of the critic. The answer is sim­ple-a bear skin would be the one thing that they could not clean on Saturday mornings.

The Fraternity Magazine (Reprint from THE PI KAPPA PHI JOURNAL,

October, 19 0 9)

A FRATERNITY magazine is something C/1. apart from all other publications. It con­tains neither .fiction , nor science, nor religion. It is intended primarily neither to amuse, to edu­cate, nor to edify. It is intended .first and fore ­most to be a bond of friendship. With chap­ters scattered from ocean to ocean, with indi­viduals dotting the whole country. with the two extremities seldom, if ever, coming into contact and relationship, what is there to bind together the members of a big fraternity? Of course there is the sense that we all profess the. same vows and are under the guidance of the same principals; but this is something intangible. and not apt to be always powerful and binding. What interest can I feel in a man of whom I know only the name? With some intimate knowledge of his character and doings, I have some foundation for friendshhip. To furnish such foundation must be the ob­ject of a fraternity journal. In chap­ters as a whole, in their continuance and success, an unconnected fraternity man may be interested. But for their individual members he can care nothing without a more intimate personal acquaintance. How can he establish this friendship with a man thousands of miles away? Primarily through the agency of his journal. Our journal is to be the chain of ac­quaintance, not only from chapter to chapter. but from man to man . Naturally we want chapter records ; but more than all we want

- <i l 7 }§t-··-

THE S T AR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA PHI

records of men, personal details which mean so

much for friendship. W e wish this Journal

to be the bond which shall bind together the

hearts of al l Pi Kappa Pbi men, active college

men and alumni ; from the greenest freshman

to tbe sagest justice in our pack . Greater inti ­

macy, more true inter-chapter fraternity spirit

is to be our goal.

Sheetz Leaves Office

cA FTER four years of valient service as exec­

utive secretary of the fraternity, Brother

George E. Sheetz has resigned that position and

has turned over the administration of the frater­

nity to Brother Howard D. L eake , who was

elected this summer by tbe Supreme Council.

It was with regret that the Supreme Council

accepted Brother Sbeetz' resignation . He has

performed a duty to Pi Kappa Phi that can

not be overestimated . His was the task of blazing a trail. of mapping out a business-like administration of the fraternity's affairs. He was the first full time officer of the order and tbere was no precedent to guide him . He made his own precedents and how well he did the job only the passing of the years will tell. But it is now known that he has placed the fra ­ternity on a firm foundation in its business ad ­ministration and has brought efficiency out of chaos.

It is the wish of the entire fraternity tbat success will attend Brother Sheetz in his future endeavors.

That Brotber Sheetz has a worthy successor in Brother Leake is ful ly rea lized by the fra ­ternity. He is a man well qualified for the task before him and it is confidently believed that he will " carry on" with credit to himself and honor to the fraternity . He and Brotber Blalock .should make an admirable team , both working in harmony for the further advance ­ment of Pi Kappa Phi . Surely our affairs are in capab le hands.

in fancy braids, a small cap of the same colors as the coat and a ribbon bearing the colors of the order. This ribbon is worn as a band from the right shoulder to the left side and up the back to the shoulder again . This full costume

is worn only by the three officers of the Ver­bindung and is seen in public only occasionally. I have seen it only two or three times. One of these was at the very elaborate and dignified cere­monies accompanying the installation of a new president of the uni ­versity. The cap and ribbon are always worn by those mem­bers who are not officers and are the more usual costume for even the latter.

The Verbindungs have no secret rit­uals. Neither do they use the Greek letter system, but gtve themselves names of old Ger­man tribes such, for example, as "Nor­mania, Germania, Beorussia (Latin for Prussia) . " However the fraternity and the V erbindung are agreed that it is wise to condition m embership upon a unanimous favor­able vote. Yet it is interesting to note that a student does not have to wait for an unsolicited bid from a Verbindung. It is considered good form for him to petition membership in his own behalf.

Like the fraternity, each Verbindung has its house. Some of those which I have seen in Marburg and in Heidelberg are very beautiful. In most cases only two or three students live in the house. Naturally the house is the center of social activities for members of the Verbindungs and their friends. There are three official meet­ings there each week. The first of these is the business meeting. The second is generally known as " wissenschaftlicher Abend ." On this evening there .is a discussion of some subject

which is worthy of serious consideration. Each

member of the Verbindung must take his rur~ I in leading one of these discussions. I have ~a the somewhat unusual privilege of attendtng one of these meetings. I was most favorablY

impressed with the serious and scholarly fashi~~ in which it was conducted. As to the tht;

evening, usually Saturday, you can pro~a~ ~ guess its nature following the simple retn 111 ~ that we are considering student life in Gerrnanl ·

During the first two semesters of his aca­demic life the freshman or " rat" is known in Germany as a " Maulesel " (Mule), though the Latin form "Mulus" is more common. But a "Mutus" who is a member of a Verbindung is always called a "Fuchs" (Fox). while his more experienced brothers prefer to be known as "Burschen" (a word a little difficult to translate; perhaps "Fellows" is best) . A "Fuchs" has no voice in the government of the Verbindung and like a fraternity freshman. he is amenable to the " Burschen" for his con­duct. A "Fuchs " must pass several tests be­fore he is recognized as a "Bursche." One of these is that he will have fought at least two Fechten matches. In those Verbindungs which engage in "Das Fechten," each member is re­quired to fight at least six times during the

Phi scholarship trophies for the year 1927-1928. The first awards of the scholarship pendants were made last year on Founders' Day to Broth­ers Thomas H . Grafton, Beta , and William C. Pritchard , Omega , and on Founders' Day this year awards of these trophies representing the highest honor Pi Kappa Phi pays to Brothers outstanding in scholarship, will be made to the following:

Arthur Wallace Crafton , Beta ; Joseph R . Bobbitt, Jr ., Kappa ; Herman Gale Riggs, Omega ; James Theodore Jackson, Alpha-Eta; John Howard Weinberger, Jr ., Alpha -Nu, and Russell Conwell Newhouse, Alpha -Nu.

These brothers are to be congratulated on the excellent scholastic records they have made and Pi Kappa Phi is indeed glad to add their names to that select list of brothers who have brought honor to Pi Kappa Phi by their excellent scholar­ship.

John Foster Eberts and Russell George Tilton received professional degrees at the June, 1927, com­mencement. Brother Eberts received the M . E. degree and Brother Tilton the E. E . degree. Lawrence Bridge is now an instructor in me­chanical engineering at the University of Pitts­burgh , and George Spencer has resigneq his po­sition at the University of Maine to accept an instructorship in civil engineering at the Uni­versity of Illinois. William R. Amick has ac­cepted a position in the Agricultural Extension department at Purdue. Robert Phillips, who is Associate Professor of history at Purdue, is away this year completing his work for the Ph. D. degree in the University of Michigan. Herbert 0 . Meyer is doing graduate work in dairy husbandry at the University of Illinois this year . Byron E. Pontius has just been pro­moted to Associate Professor of animal hus­bandry at Purdue and also elected to active membership in Sigma Xi.

A National Pi Kappa Phi Library With the rapid development of Pi Kappa Phi

as a great national fraternity and the rapidly increasing number of its alumni who are attain ­ing prominent places in public life , it is time that some steps be taken looking forward to the development of a national Pi Kappa Phi library. This library should include one or two copies of all books, scientific and literary

THE STAR AND LAMP oF Pr KAPPA PHI

publications, and all other forms of publications of which members of Pi Kappa Phi are the authors. In some fu ture time undoubtedly Pi Kappa Phi wi ll have a beautiful national head ­quarters home and this library would then be p laced there as a monument to the scientific and li terary achievements of the fraternity. In the meant ime the library may be collected and pre­served through the offices of the Scholarship Committee. With the regular acknowledgement of the receipt of such publications and an annual review of the scholarly achievements of our alumni through the columns of THE STAR AND LAMP, a renewed interest and pride in our fra­ternity would be developed in many of our alumni who have lost immediate contact with their own chapters. The ch airman of the Scholarship Committee gladly offers his services in the development and care of such a library until more permanent arrangement can be made.

Roy Bradshaw Skipper ByJ.B. STAPLETON,O

"To make the LVorld brigh ter for those we hnou:; T o give our best selves for th ose we love; T o live in the hearts of those we leave: Is not to die. "

June 13, 1928, Brother Roy Bradshaw Skip­per met his death in an automobile accident. Knowing him as many of us did in life. know­ing the disinclination that always possessed him to be accla imed with fulsome speech of vain­glorious praise, any words of eulogy addressed to his memory. other than in simple justice to his life's achievements, would fai l to be in keep­ing with the spirit of his earthly pilgrimage or of the motives that actuated his conduct among his fellows.

Brother Skipper was born Apri l 17, 1904, in Ozark, Alabama, and was 24 years of age when he answered the summons of the Supreme Archon of the Universe . He was graduated from the Ozark High School in 1922. being the presiden t of his class . The following year he entered 'Emory University, and there became a member of our fraternity. He was very active in fraternity and scholastic affa irs. and was on the business staff of The Toreador, the Emory annual. He stayed at Emory two years, w here

his pleasant and charming d isposition won biJII ho3ts of true friends, and gave to him the ni~k­name of "Rosie," which he carried through hfe. After leaving Emory be entered the UniversitY of Alabama, and became one of Omicron chaP' ter ' s most loyal members. He was elected treas· urer of Omicron chapter and his untiring efforts and conscientious work were one of the greates; factors in the completion of Omicron 's beautifU home. After leaving the University of Al~­bama, Brother Skipper was connected in bust· ness with his father, Mr. M . P . Skipper. 3

. H was p romtnent merchant of Ozark , Ala. e Sb ine· a member of the Alcazar Temple of the r ~

being the youngest man ever to have bee initiated into the Alcazar Temple. . 0

Brother Skipper was wedded to the htg . ter·

idea ls of our fraternity. He took a deep tn pc es t in everything that benefited it, and watched with pride and satisfaction its progre~~ its wonderful achievements, its extending brot erly love. its social and educational adva.n~e; ment, and its glorious and generous princtP er

. · cb3 of character and brotherhood. That sptrtt 0

was his will survive to us as a fraternitY ~c lon g as we are fa ithful to the high and no sta nd ard w hich was his.

Three new pledges are Henry Gold of Win ~ chester, Va., Pleas Ramsay, of Salem, Va., and Howard Altizer, of Roanoke, Va., who are sophomores. Ramsey is track captain for this year besides being a star halfback on the foot~

ball team and the leading hitter on the Maroon nine last year. Altizer is also a member of the Maroon squad and is practically sure of a letter at guard this fall.

Pi Kappa Phi continues to hold its place of leadership on the Roanoke College campus. Archon Zirkle is president of the Pan~Hellenic Council and a member of the Honor Council and Executive Board of the German Club. Ted Fix is president of the Glee Club besides being a regular guard on the Maroon eleven. Arthur Caughman is president of the Clericus and a member of the football squad, while Billy Wil~ Iiams returns to hold his job as president of the sophomore class and running mate of Ramsay at halfback.

Confidence Reigns at Alabama By A. P. MIZE, JR.

Omicron chapter, in the midst of rushing season, looks forward with confidence to a suc­cessful year. The chapter house, recently re­painted on the inside and "gone over" in gen­eral. is a-buzz with activity.

The chapter roll. now swelled with the pledging of nine freshmen and the arrival of five Pi Kapps who were not at the University of Alabama last year, promises to be the largest in the history of the chapter.

Freshmen wearing the white and gold pledge button are: Darden Bynum, Oneonta, Ala.; Steve McGinnis, Birmingham ; Henry H. Mize, and Alvin Davidson, Tuscaloosa; Zell Taylor, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Arthur Espy, Abbeville, Ala.; Lawrence Davis, Jasper , Ala.; Charles Shannon, Mobile, Ala.; and Harry Carrol. of Slocomb, Ala. The last-named , Carrol. is a brother of Earl Carrol. Pi Kappa Phi, at How­ard College.

Clyde Pierce, of Troy, Ala., has returned to enter the School of Commerce after a two years' absence. William Monroe, of Fayette, who also has been gone for two years, is back again taking work in arts and sciences. James Buford , of Jackson, Miss:, one of our "roaming brothers, " is now at Omicron, after having been initiated at Washington and Lee and later being a mem­ber of the chapter at the University of Missis­sippi, where he served as Archon. James Staple­ton, graduate of the University of Alabama, has returned to enter the School of Medicine. Ed­ward Carothers, of Oak HilL Ala., after a year of school-teaching, is back at Alabama, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Two managers will bear the burden of repre­senting Omicron in athletics this year. Jack McGuire, of Tuscaloosa, a junior, is manager

of the Crimson Tide, while the baseball nine will be looked after by Robert "Red" RamseY, of Dothan, Ala., a senior lawyer.

Make Addition to Tulane House By W. P. ADDISON

The beginning of June of this year saw one of the most successful years of Alpha-Beta chap­ter drawing to a close . As the time came for the boys to leave they were not nea rly so homesick as they b ad imagined, and some refused to leave and remained for summer scbool. Tbese were Brothers Brannan, Ogden , Caraway, Ad­dison and Pledge Parsons.

Everyone wbo remained for summer school bad the time of bis life as all wbo were there can testify. Tbings began to get dull along in tbe middle of the summer so the boys de­cided tbat tbere was nothing like a dance to pep things up. With tbe belp of the brothers living in New Orleans, tbe first summer school fra ­ternity dance on the Tulane campus was given. Tbe dance was a huge success, the music being furnished· by an alumnus, Brother Wimberly and his orchestra.

Brother Harding was chosen to lead the chap­ter as Archon for this year and Brother Jones will manage the house. The new year prom­ises to see Alpha-Beta active in every field. Brother Jones will again play forward on the Green Wave basketball team. This will be his third yea r on the varsity and he has quite a reputation for his brilliant playing. Brothers McCain and Freund will continue as shining lights in the glee club.

Plans have been made for refinishing the house and adding another room to it. The work will be completed in time for rushing season, and twenty men are expected to start the year off. Since rushing season has been restricted to one week at Tulane, we have a very crowded program which includes three dances.

Everyone is glad to be back in school but there are some faces missing who are now num­bered among the alumni. Brothers Riggs, Phil­lips and Leeper, who have finished in medicine, are all interning, Brother Riggs at his home in Shreveport, and Brothers Leeper and Phillips in New Orleans. Brother Ayo graduated in Pharmacy and returned to his home in Morgan City. Brotber Robinson graduated in law and is in New Orleans.

Things Start with a Bang at Oregon

By PAUL GEHRINGER

Freshman week started out with a bang on the Oregon State campus, being ushered in by the preliminary registration of some 1,500 "hopefuls" who soon will sport the traditional green. The Pi Kapp house is filled with new men. Most of the old men are back, and Alpha -Zeta chapter looks forward to a most promising year.

Still. Alpha -Zeta misses her seven seniors who were graduated last June. Honore Griffin, past Archon , received his bachelor's degree in mechan ­ical engineering and is following that line with his father in LaCanada, California. Max Eng­land , Lynn Horton, Curtis Price, Hector Rich ­mond and Harold Weaver were given degrees in forestry. Weaver and Price have passed the junior forestry examination and have received government appointments. Brother Richmond is junior forest entomologist under the Cana­dian government.

Alpha-Tota Furnishes Football Stars

By J. NOBLE CRUMP

When Pi Kappa Phi starts picking men for a football team, with an objective to defeat every team in America, the pickers, whoever they may be, can look to Alpha-Iota at Auburn, for some real material. Two of the mainstays in Auburn's line are Pi Kapps and another is soon to be initiated.

RUPERT INGRAM

Rupert Ingram, who is alternate captain, right end, and toe artist "de luxe," was men ­tioned for All-Southern last year.

Alpha -Iota also furnishes the two tackles who go to make up Auburn's line. Riley Cunning­ham, right tackle, is one of the hardest fighting players on the team.

Pledge Erquiet Taylor. who is starting his first year of varsity football. is said to be a ma_n that Auburn can look to for some great playing. Babe weighs only two hundred pounds, but when he grows up, the boys who aspire to be All-American can get a few pointers from him.

all rou ut not least, Drue Gibson is a great ball a ~d fellow. He went great on the foot ­the ten baseball :field. This year he is coaching

<lJ11 at Slocomb High .

Last and least in stature, but with a heart of gold, comes Brother A . W. " Teddy .Bear" Herren . Teddy is only :five feet seven mches

THE STAR AND LAMP oF Pr KAPPA PHI

tall. but weighs one hundred and eighty pounds and it isn ' t fat. He earned his numeral last year and is working hard this year for a place on the varsity squad. Last year when the chap­ter offered a jewelled pin to the freshman having the highest average at the end of the semester, Teddy was the man who got it. How is that for a combination: an athlete and a scholar?

A dozen freshmen are now proudly wearing the Pi Kapp pledge button at A. P. I.. Alpha­Iota having enjoyed the most successful rushing season in its history.

We present the pledges: " Red" Burgess, who hails from Florida. "Red" is going out for baseball as well as for the Glee Club and the Auburn Players. Other aspirants to honors in the Glee Club are Elijah Mathews, of Grove Hill; Jimmy Robbins, a Selma product; and Howard Upchurch, who has far -away hopes of being known as " the accompanist."

"Bubbee" Faulk, of Troy, who is taking "elec," and Curtis Cannon. the pride of Lock­hart, are reporting regularly on the field, :fight­ing for berths on the frosh eleven.

Jack Cumbee, a brother of A. Z. Cumbee of Eta chapter at Emory, and A . N. Davis, of Wetumpha, are the civil engineers among the pledges. Then there is Jimmie Roberts, of Ox­ford, who has a secret desire to relax behind a shiny desk and tell Johnnie to "tell him I'm out." Jimmie is taking general business .

Peter Crump is "a true Crump." Peter, like the brothers who preceded him, is taking "elec." The " Rock" has already pledged Keys.

We are proud to welcome Earl McGillvray, a pledge of Alpha -Eta chapter at Howard, into the realms of Alpha-Iota .

At the Pledge Club election, MacBarnes, of Orlando, Fla .. was elected president. "Lige" Mathews, vice-president, and Peter Crump, sec­retary.

All the neophytes of Alpha -Iota are compet­ing for the jeweled pin given for highest scholas­tic standing.

Back Again at Ohio State ./

Ohio State opened her doors for the autumn quarter October 1. and the Pi Kapps were not long in falling back into the old school spirit

once again. The close of school last spri~g. commencement in June, and summer vacauo~ were no sooner over, it seemed, than "Fr~shrnaA Week" opened once again at the UniversttY· lp 1

number of our brothers were on hand to he~ get things started, and also to line up some ne~ I pledge material. Classes and books, co-eds ao dates were not long in following. f f

Alpha-Nu's new officers for the :first hal ~~-~ this year are as follows: Archon, Marcy S. P\s ell; treasurer, Robert Everhart; secretary. Cha;ls: A. Rusler, Jr .; historian, Edward S. :v: ''· Chaplain, Nelson White; and warden. Ketti Arnold. al

The fraternity will participate in the utn. line of fall quarter sports, which are speed ha VI

soccer, and playground ball. While we .a~ k wtr''' plenty of new and old material to wor G 01

it is too early to forecast any results. e Kiinzler is athletic manager again this year. ,.
