Letters from Our Readers

BROTHER RETURNS FROM AUSTRIA 5124 Scarsdale Road Washh1glotz 16, D. C.

Dear Editor: I appreciated the recent article about my opera­tions in Austria in behalf of the American Red Cross . I have again just returned from Austria and hope that it wi ll be pos­sible for the Red Cross to complete the camp operation by June 30. There are now 39 camps being run by the Red Cross in which the Hungarian refugees are being cared for . Fraternally your,

JOHN C. WILSON, Eta '26 Emory University

COMMENDATION fROM BROTHER JERVEY 1313 Townley Roaa R.ichmo11d 26, V a.

Dear Brother: I certainly do appreciate the value of The Star and Lamp in keeping up with my brothers and other member> of our fraternity. The November issue was particularly interest· ing, concerning the fine convention held last Summer.

My sincerest congratulations to our new slate of officers and best wishes for every success possible in keeping Pi Kap~l Phi progressive, aggressive, and aware of its opportunities: the lives of thousands. My sincerest appreciation to those o · cers who have led us so well in the past. The results of your efforts can be seen in the activities of our great undergraduate chapters.

(Continued on fla!(e 17)

Out of the Past (Material for this col1111111 was obtained from tbe Pebmary, 1917, issue of The Star and Lamp.)

40 Years Ago

In the editorial columns it was stated tbat it would require seven pages to give you the humor­ous side of the 1916 Convention in Savannah and that a book could be written concerning the good that was accomplished.

This word of wisdom was gleaned: "The man who attaches no importance to an ideal probably never had one."

Brother R. C. Wiggins, Mu, Duke, stated that good reports were coming from Virginia Xi at Roanoke College, Pi Kappa Phi's baby chapter. He pointed out that Brother A. P. Wagener, Alpha, College of Charleston, one of the first members of Pi Kappa Phi, had been a member of the fac­ulty at Roanoke and "the guiding star" of the chapter.

At this time the Fraternity had two chapters in the West, Gamma at the University of California and Nu at the University of Nebraska. Brother Wiggins made the comment that " the West bids fair to be a realm of Pi Kapps in the near future. It is hoped that definite steps will soon be taken

to establish some more chapters in the West. This is good territory."

From Gamma at the University of California: "H. S. Brink, '17, is practising with the Varsity baseball squad. There are three or four men out competing for positions on the track squad."

From Epsilon at Davidson: "Brother Paisley, after three years of hard work as a scrub football man, has finally won his right to wear a "D ." Also, while on the football subject, it might not be amiss to mention that we have the manager of the foot­ball team for next year."

From Zeta at Wofford: "Pledge season began February second. Since the dust has about settled, Pi Kappa Phi has nailed three good men. They are P. M. Kinney of Bennettsville, S. C.; D . L. Harper of Lowndesville, S. C., and R. M. Howell of Florence, S. C. This gives us third place in number of freshmen pledged, the Kappa Alphas holding the lead."

From Nu at the University of Nebraska: "Broth­ers Landers and Dempster have received sweaters for their work on the Senior football team, which won the Class Championship."

Alpha lota Rebuilds House After Fire at Auburn

As the Spring Quarter begins, Alpha Iota has settled down and is waiting for the house to be rebuilt. Re­building began March 12 and is progressing well.

The fire of Sunday, February 10, has scattered the brotherhood well over Auburn, with about 22 brothers and pledges living at Glenn House and the rest having apartments or living in men's dorms. "Mother Eve" will be living in Bay Minette with her daughter until the house is rebuilt.

The house which burned was insured for $60,000. The Fraternity will collect $41,000 damages on the house and $9,000 on the furniture.

After the fire, many helped. The Chi Omega Sorority g~ve a breakfast; ~he Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity invited Pt Kapps and thetr dates for supper; the Delta Sigma Phi and the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternities gave break­fast the morning after the fire, and the Alpha Gamma Rhos gave the use of their house for a weekend for dates at formal time.

Alpha Iota had made plans in January to construct a house on the new fraternity row at Auburn provided details concerning the procurement of a lot, sale of the house in which the chapter was living, and other details could be taken care of without great difficulty. Among those present for the meeting in January were Brothers Clyde Pearson, Frank Hawthorne, and John Needy who gave counsel and assistance.

Methodist Church Benefits From Epsilon's Help Week

A highlight of the Winter activities at Epsilon Chapter, Davidson College, was the culmination of the pledge training and initiation of the new brothers, Historian Walter Bishop has pointed out.

"With only one exception, all pledges made their grades," he said. "We had no one to depledge which, I believe, speaks well for our pledge-training program.

"The high point of 'Hell Week,' 'Help Week,' 'Greek Week,' or whatever you choose to call it was our help project. The following paragraph which appeared in the Davidson Methodist Church bulletin tells the story better than I ever could:

" 'We are very grateful to the members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at Davidson for the work they did to give us a good start on a playground behind our church hut. We are thankful for the fact that they turned "Hell Week" into "Help Week" and that we will benefit from their labors.' "

The work done included, among other things, the building of horse-shoe pits, a volley ball court, and lawn seats.

Brother Wilson Resigns, Returns to Insurance BROTHER James M. Wilson has resigned as Executive

Secretary after spending more than two years at the helm of the National Office. His resignation was effec­tive February 20; however, official announcement of his action was withheld until a successor could be selected.

During Brother Wilson's tenure of office, Pi Kappa Phi has increased its chapter roll from 46 to 51 and has added several thousand brothers to its membership rolls. New chapters were installed at University of Tampa, McNeese State College, University of Houston, Central Michigan College, and Northwestern State Col­lege of Louisiana. There are several local fraternities on various college campuses which are expected to peti­tion the Fraternity for charters in the near future. Brother Wilson selected key alumni members in these college towns to help foster the expansion program of the Fraternity.

Brother Wilson has been active in Fraternity affair~ since he was initiated as a member of Sigma Chapter in 1939. He served as archon of that chapter in 1940 and was appointed District Archon of District IV in 1948.

The National Council wishes to take this opportunity to thank Jim on behalf of the Fraternity for his loyalty,

Religious Leadership Award Is Presented by Omicron

and

JAMES I. OWENS, Archon

QMICRON CHAPTER played a very prominent part in Religious Emphasis Week at the University of Ala­

bama. The week began with the presentation of the Ann Inglett Award to the University. President James H. Newman received the award on behalf of the University of Alabama. (See cover picture.)

The award was given in honor of the late Miss Ann Inglett. Ann, a 1955 graduate of the University, died of leukemia in Atlanta, Ga., in April, 1956. She was an outstanding student in all areas of college life. A list of all her honors and accomplishments would be super­fluous. Her leadership, her creative ideas, her desire to work, her devotion--these were the attributes which dis­tinguished Ann. She was simply a person working for something in which she believed. She was a person with a sincere interest in all her fellow students.

Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Upsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority were co-sponsors of the award. Miss Inglett, a member of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, was engaged to Ronald S. Garner, San­ford, Fla., now an alumnus of Omicron.

The plague bears this inscription: "Presented in me­moriam to the student who has made the greatest contri­bution to the religious life of the campus." In May or April of each year, beginning in 1957, the award will be presented for the next 50 years.

Psi Alumnus Sponsors Bills In New York Assembly

By GORDON E. WHITE, Psi

Press Secretary to Brother Ingram

AS THIS STORY is being written, Brother Verner M. Ingram, Psi '30, Cornell University, is concluding

his freshman year in the New York State Assembly. During the year, Brother Ingram introduced 10 meas­

ures. The most controversial of them would reguire minors between 18 and 21 to show identifi cation cards in order to buy beer, wine, or liguor. The bill was put forward as a compromise after it appeared sure that an­other legislator's bill to raise the drinking age to 21 would be killed.

The drinking cards could be obtained only with pa­rental consent, and out-of-state youths whose home states' drinking age was 21 would not be issued cards, under the Ingram plan. "Border-mnning" by teenagers would thus be ended . It has been a source of considerable tense feeling between New York and Pennsylvania, New Jer­sey, Connecticut, M assachusetts, and Vermont.

Other legislation Brother Ingram has sponsored would create 1,200 additional State scholarships for veterans; re-write ce rtain medical and dental practice reguirements; increase allowable school bond interest to 3 per cent; tighten State drunken-driving laws ; amend the motor vehicle law, and arrange payment for a bridge in Ogdens­burg.

His committee assignments include Aviation, Labor and Industries, Public Service, and Revision.

DAIRY JUDGING STARS WIN PRIZES AT ATLANTIC CITY

A letter received from Brother Bob Anderson , Upsilon, University of Jllinois, during the Winter contained the foil owing:

"Brother Fred Jaronitzky and I went to Atlantic City to participate in the International Dairy Show. I was the alternate on our three-man University of Illinois Dairy Products Judging Team. Brother Fred won first place in all-products and a Gruen wrist watch. The team won first place and an $1,800 research fellowship. Fred will probably use the fellowship. Th.ere were 33 schools par­ticipating from all over the nat10n.

"Two weeks previous, we judged in Chicago at the Midwest Dairy Show. Here Fred was the alternate. We placed first as a team in butter judging and tied for second as a team in all-products. There were 11 mid-western schools here. We judged milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream. Brothers Ruzicka and Duda from Iowa State did real well at Atlantic City and Chicago, respectively. Sure looks like the Pi .Kapps are a bunch of good dairy prod­ucts judges. "

Brother T. ]. Starker Votes

Three Times November 6

Unique? We learned from a clipping furnished by National Secretary J. AI. Head that one of the West Coast alumni voted three times last November 6--all legal.

Th,is is how it happened. Brother !· J. Starke~, Alpha Zeta 24, Oregon State College, who 1s a Corvallis timber owner, cast ballots in three separate precincts . Two dis­tricts in Benton County voted on whether or not to secede from a livestock control district. Any person owning 20 or more acres of land within either district was entitled to vote on the issue. Since Brother Starker was a land­owner in both districts, he qualified to vote in each. In Corvallis he voted on the regular general election bal­lot. The 01·eg011icm of Portland, Oreg., carried three pictures of Brother Starker and detailed cut lines the day after election. The pictures showed him participat­ing in the activities at all three voting precincts.

Brother Groves is a charter member of GSPE and has held some office, chapter or state, since his return to this country.

''Carries His End of the Log"

"There also is the clue to why he is entitled to that humble, but very honored and not too frequently deserved title of 'good citizen,' " the writer said. "It conveys the idea that he is a 'weight lifter' and one who always 'carries his end of the log.' And not only as an engineer, but also as a Tech alumnus, a Sunday School superintendent, a Baptist deacon, and an officer in citywide churd1 bodies . He always has sensible comments in board meetings and shows a grasp of organizational matters which are essen­tial to the GSPE president's office. In following him we will get somewhere."

Brother Alex E. Anthony

From Rio Grande Way JN A LETTER written at the close of a six-month train-

ing period at Moore Air Base in Mission, Texas, Brother Alex E. Anthony, Tau '52, North Carolina State College, a second lieutenant, told of some of his ex­periences while stationed at this base.

He reported that the weather in this area of the Rio Grande Valley "can't be beat." Only 20 miles from the Mexican border, he has availed himself of much of the entertainment of Mexico.

"As for entertainment on this side of the Rio Grande River, we have the renowned Padre Island which offers swimming and fishing all year round," Brother Anthony wrote.

At Moore he has been trained in the T-34 and T-28 single engine aircraft. When he wrote he was awaiting transfer to Reese AFB in Lubbock, Texas, about the middle of March for training in the B-25 multi-engine aircraft.

''I've really been disappointed at not meeting any Pi Kapps since I've been down here," he said. "I wish we had a chapter at the University of Texas. Several of us have been over there for weekends, and with a student body of that size, I'm sure there's room for another fraternity.

"Texas Tech is located in Lubbock and is only a few miles from the base. However, if my memory serves me right, we don 't have a chapter there either. It looks as if I'm destined to be in Texas a year without dropping in on a Pi Kapp house."

Georgian Combines Music with Business A GEORGIA MUSICIAN who now finds himself i . Indiana n~t only is entertaining with his music bL JS also managmg a hotel and other property in Net Castle.

~roth.er Ralph Rivers Tabor, Alpha Alpha, Merct UntversJty, has for the past six years managed an estal which includes two hotels, one of which is the Plaza, til farms, and 30 other rental buildings. He says that b keeps mighty busy but that he does have many goo­employees.

Plays under "Name" Leaders

He is still a member of the musicians' union. He play for two years all over the country under the direction o a number of "name" leaders and as conductor of his o\1· orchestra. However, he left that profession to sell inso1

ance. For 15 years he was special agent for the Libert National Life Insurance Company, selling insurance I the Army. "But I played wherever I went and made a II of friends," Brother Tabor said. The job came to an eiJ when the government took over that service. He If mained with the company, though, until the end of til war, taking care of adjustments.

He went into the hotel business because it alwaf fascinated him. He lived in hotels when he was playi in dance orchestras.

"I would ask the hotel management to let me wo~ on the desk," he said, recalling experiences with obvio' pleasure. "So, the clerk would go away and let me ta~ over."

He could not give a special reason for liking to wor behind the desk except maybe that he likes people.

The pianist is one of those "naturals" who knew almO: from the beginning how to play. When he was seven~ walked up to a school piano and began to play a popu!• song. A music teacher heard him and offered to give htf lessons. Formal instruction was not to his liking, so~ managed to bribe a colored child, offspring of one of~ servants in his parents' home in Toccoa, Ga., to practJC the piano while he went out to play. Later his piano pia) ing caused him difficulty because any boy who playea tJi piano was dubbed a "sissy."

Wins Scholarship to Mercer

Somehow he lived through these trials and wo~ scholarship to Mercer University, Macon, Ga. He stud1

music, however, at Wesleyan College for Women. Af~ graduation, he studied in Chicago for a year before jo11

ing the Music Corporation of America, for whom ~ played in some of the orchestras they sent over tJi country.

Despite his heavy work load at the Plaza, a 100-roof hotel, Brother Tabor is generous with his music and 11

1

played on a number of occasions in New Castle. His t~ ents, experience, and genial manner are serving him wt in this Midwest community where he has made m!il' friends.

Doings at Omega, Purdue University

MANY VARIED ACTIVITIES combined to make a busy Spring schedule for members of Omega Chap­

ter at Purdue. The Penny Carnival, Saturday night, March 2, ushered

in Greek Week at Omega and Purdue. The men of Pi Kappa Phi and the women of Phi Mu Sorority collab­orated in a production called, "Bomb the Campus." Mod­els of university buildings were constructed on a min­iature campus. Then by means of electrically and mag­netically controlled planes, darts were dropped on the buildings. Omega received honorable mention for their display after a judging team had viewed over 20 other exhibits.

Candidate Places Second

Once again, Omega's candidate for Goldiggers King proved to be a popular candidate among the coeds on the Purdue campus. This year's cand idate, John Ruby, Carthage, Ind. , received a second place. In 1956, Dave Griffiths, Oxford, Ind ., was selected as the king. John arrived at the scene of the skit in a model A Ford. He was dressed in rags as he sang a parody on "Rags to Riches ." After the song, he guickly changed to a suit of white satin tails and sang "There's Going to Be a Great Day." He was then whisked away in a new con­vertible. The skit was well received by all of the women's housing units.

Omega' s new initiates are : Front row, left to right, Meredith Smith, Zionsville, Ind ., Jerry Herod, Michigan City, Ind., Richard Allee, Greencastle, Ind.; back row, left to right, Stephen Sprott, Auburn, Ind., Andy Matisoo, Elkhart, Ind., Jerry Davee, Martins­ville, Ind., and Reid Jones, Connorsville, Ind.

Athlete Rainey Makes History at Penn State

By VINCE CAROCCI Alpha Mu Historian

(Story Prepared hz Winter)

A. LPHA MU CHAPTER of Pi Kappa Phi is not a has ~rate~nity devoted chiefly to athletes. However, it

Y ad tts share of varsity performers in the past three

ears.

sp Right now, Brother Ron Rainey is in the Penn State orts spotlight as a starting forward on the Nittany

cage quintet.

His First Year as Starter

EgJ~is is Rainey's first year as a starter for Coach John th 1 s cagers after two years of "seasoning." He spent te: 1954-55 season as a starting forward on the frosh pe ~ and the 1955-56 season picking up valuable ex-t~~ce as one of Egli's front-line varsity reserves.

into h~ year, it looks as though Rainey may ~ave .come ont ts own. In the first four Lion games, Ramey ts the each eager to break the double-figure scoring colum~ in Rut contest, sco.ring 12 against Carnegie Tech, 14 aga~nst 'W gers,. 23 agamst North Carolina State, and 19 agatnst

He Makes a Record

"The Rainbow" placed his name in the Mountaineer record book when he hit on 13 consecutive foul shots to break the old record of 11 set in 1939 by another Lion basketeer, Harry Brooks.

Although the season is still in its early stage, Egli is counting on Rainey to continue his top scoring efforts to bolster Lion victory hopes.

Egli is the first to admit that Rainey is far from the best that he has coached at Penn State. When you coach a player of Jesse Arnelle's caliber, you'll have to go some to find anyone better.

However, the Lion mentor readily agrees that Rainey is one of the better players he has coached in his three years at the University.

Egli said that, although Rainey still has a lot to learn about the college game, he has the ability to become one of its better players from the Penn State angle, that is.

Gives Credit to Teammates

The modest Pi Kapp is usually the first to give credit to his teammates for a good team performance and the last to alibi for a faulty showing of his own.

"Leisher (Captain Bob Leisher) looked real good, didn't he," is the representative Rainey comment after a winning Nittany effort. When asked about the op­position, he invariably comes out with, "They're tough, real tough."

Rainey's athletic achievements are not limited to bas­ketball alone. Last year he was a reserve outfielder on Joe Bedenk's Lion baseball team after performing as

Pledge Is Injured Fatally ln Softball Gan1e

By BROTHER ROY FOWLER, Historian

Beta Chapter

BET A CHAPTER has suffered a tragic loss this semester due to the untimely death of Pledge Richard Johnson

of TI:omasville, Ga. Richard was playing first base. for the Pt Kapps in an intramural softball game. He recetved a SJ?leen injury in a collision with a member of the. op­posmg team. The injury was not thought to be too senous, and Richard was taken to the college infirmary. How­?er, internal bleeding started after he had remained there ~r a .few days. He was rushed immediately to the hos­

pt~al 111 Greenville, S. C. The doctors there thought the 111Jury not too serious, and as they were performing a supposedly simple spleen operation, Richard's heart stopped beating. After careful massaging, Richard's heart "\Vas revived, and he remained alive until he passed away the night of May 14.

He was the state pole-vaulting champion, and his de~th Was felt deeply by the entire student body of Presbytenan as Well as by the Pi Kapps.

Twelve members of the Fraternity made the trip to J~lomasville to pay their final homage to a very fine

riend, athlete, and person.

Letters from Our Readers (Continued from page 2)

I will close this with a plug for my own chapter. Whether it was the convention or their own efforts, or a good bit of both, I don't know. However, if you want to see fraternity life at its best, take a look at Mu Chapter in Durham, N. C. Those boys are doing a great job of having a great time socially, running a fine business organization, and giving something to the university community. Best of luck always. Fraternally,

His death left McClellanville and neighboring villages-with a popula­tion of about 2,000-without a physi­cian in active practice.

At the time of the accident, Brother Scott was en route to Charleston where he was to have assisted in an operation. His car went out of control at a curve and plunged into a ditch. He was dead on arrival at a hospital.

A native of Y onge' s Island, he was born October 29, 1913, a son of Dr. and Mrs. James E. Scott. He attended the College of Charleston and was graduated from the Medical College of South Carolina in 1937.

Brother Scott began his practice at McClellanville in 1939. In 1942, he enlisted in the Army and served as a captain in the Medical Corps. He held the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, and a Presidential Unit Citation.

He was a member of the Holy Name . Society of Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church. He was also a member of the American Medical Association, the South Carolina Medical Association, the Charleston County Medical So­ciety, the American Academy of Gen­eral Practice, Phi Chi, medical frater­nity, and the Widows and Orphans Benefit Society.

Brother Scott is survived by his parents, his widow, three sons, a sister, and a brother.

In an interview, Thomas W. Gra­ham, McClellanville druggist and long­time friend of Dr. Scott, said:

"It's the biggest tragedy we have had to face. . . . This whole village is in tears. There is no distinction in our sorrow, either, between the white and colored people. Dr. Scott was loved by every one of us. He had been here about 20 , years, and he knew every man, woman, and child in the com­munity.

18

"His practice wasn't limited to dis­ease, either. He'd listen to a person's troubles as quickly as he would heal the sick-and he always seemed to know the answer."

A graduate of Emory University, Brother McElroy studied at the Uni­versity of Georgia Medical School, Au­gusta, receiving his degree in 1941. He specialized in neuropsychiatry .

He was a commissioned officer in the U. S. Naval Reserve after 1941, seeing active service from 1942 to 1946 and holding the rank of lieutenant 'com­mander.

He did graduate work at several out· standing hospitals. He was a member of a nwnber of medical societies and the Theta Kappa Psi, medical fraternity.

CHAPTER NEWS

By ELIZABETH H. SMITH Managing Editor

"THE MOST OUTSTANDING EVENT OF ALPHA SIGMA during the Winter Quarter was a successful, com­

bined Founders' Day Banquet and Rose Ball," Historian Frank Watkins has reported. The chapter's Rose, Miss Carolyn Duke, an Education major from Isabella, Tenn., was presented.

Recently initiated members of ALPHA SIGMA are Kyle Weems, Greeneville, Tenn.; Harry Shehan, Knoxville, Tenn.; E. C. Braden, Hapeville, Ga.; David Beckler, Ducktown, Tenn.; and James Hunn, Memphis, Tenn., bringing the total under­graduate membership to 19.

For the first time in recent years, the chapter is serving meals on a regular basis.

During the Winter Quarter, ALPHA SIGMA was third in scholarship among the 16 fraternities at the University of Ten­nessee.

BETA DELTA, Drake University

BETA DELTA'S historian, Gordon Loy, has given highlights of the chapter's two major events during the Fall and Winter.

Under the chairmanship of Jim Feaster, the chapter spon­sored, with a vigorous campaign, the successful candidacy of Miss Mary McLaughlin as the student body's representative on the Homecoming Queen's court. The chapter engaged in many of the features of a major political campaign, including a motor­cade of banner-carrying, horn-honking autos through the campus each noon. Of course, the motorcade's center of attraction was the candidate, "dazzling one and all with her· warm sparkling smile."

George Tibbetts created a 15-minute musical comedy for en­try in the variety show, "Bulldog Tales." The skit's plot re­volved around Nero and his hilarious attempt to burn Rome for the insurance money, all in modern prose and satire. The historian reported that such songs as "Burn the Town, Don't Tell the People" and "Keep the Rome Fires Burning" delighted the capacity audiences during the two nights of performance. "Brother Dave Skinner as Nero and Brother Herb Johnson as Marceus, supported by a cast of 'hundreds' (including statues that leaped off their pedestals and romped through a lively chorus) gave the audience and judges the fast-paced comedy required to top five other social groups for second place and another success for BETA DELTA," the historian stated.

At the time of writing, BETA DELTA was hoping for a fifth consecutive "First Place" in the annual float parade.

In February BETA DELTA initiated Ron Barger, Chicago; Bob Beisch, Manning, Iowa; Herb Johnson, Chariton, Iowa; AI Jolliffe, Knoxville Iowa; Jake Mulder, Primghar, Iowa; Jerry Nelson, Burlington, Iowa; and Glenn Peters, Lakeview, Iowa.

After winning first place honors for solo acts at the "Bulldog Tales" with a "terrific" Jazz drum solo, Pledge Paul Senne ap­peared on TV. There Guy Lombardo, on tour, spied his talents and gave him a spot on his show that evening.

BETA KAPPA, Georgia State College

From BETA KAPPA, Historian Dexter Gatehouse has re­ported that Richard S. Briggs, Beverly H. Moore, and Allen D. Sloan will graduate in June and that the first two will re­ceive commissions as second lieutenants in the Army.

BETA EPSILON, University of Missouri

"The tireless Red Cross bloodmobile is with us again, and, if BETA EPSILON does as well on this drive as it did on the previous ones, we will take the plaque for the best percentage for any Greek organization on the campus," according to a report from the chapter.

The IFC Bowling League ended with BETA EPSILON in first place in Division "B" and looking toward another trophy in the roll-offs with the other division. The team, which was composed of eight men, Captain Henry Curry, Alan Adams, Don Webb, Bill Steinheimer, Bob Paden, Bob Dermody, Ron Daniels, and Jerry Richards, were expecting, at the time of writing, to enter the Spring League also.

Greek Week at "Mizzou" was scheduled to start April 8 with the usual Campustown Races, a race of small hand-powered cars built by the houses competing for a trophy.

BETA ETA, Florida State University

From Historian Curt C. Compton, BETA ETA: "BETA ETA has made giant strides this year in general-membership, house improvements, higher scholarship, strengthened brotherhood, and the rise in campus activities. We may not have the finest house on campus, but in our eyes, Pi Kappa Phi at Florida State Uni­versity is the very best fraternity on campus."

BETA ETA initiated the following neophytes during the first semester: Donald A. Bowlin, Douglas N. Allen, and William W . Branning, Panama City, Fla.; Curt C. Compton, St. Petersburg Fla.; Hugh A. Burch, Jr., Miami, Fla.; Ronald Steurer, Berlin, Conn ., and Albert L. Benoit, Welsh, La.

Social Chairman Don Bowlin was responsible for planning several fine informal parties during first semester.

About 15 underprivileged children enjoyed a Christmas party given by BETA ETA. They were entertained by the "antics of Brother Gene Carrouthers" who led children's games and by Santa Claus, alias Warren ("Hippopotamus") Bryson.

Scholastically, BETA ETA finished first semester sixth among fraternities, jumping from thirteenth place.

The chapter's president, Jim Nettles, was elected president of the campus Interfraternity Council for second semester. He is the second Pi Kapp at FSU to hold this campus position, Allan Sundberg having preceded him a few years ago.

Second semester initiates were Edward A . Mason, Syracuse, N. Y.; Paul K. Spaulding, Boston, Mass.; W. _B. Carroll, States­boro Ga.· Thomas R. Hogle, Tampa, Fla.; Richard G . Berube, Long Bea~h, Calif., and Michael Tolomea, Berlin, Conn.

Miss Dorothy O'Neill, a Delta Gamma, was crowned as Rose Queen at BETA ETA'S Rose Ball in February.

The pledge-member banquet was he_ld March 13, wi_th the chapter adviser, Warren Harper, makmg the presentatiOn of awards: Outstanding Pledge, Edward A. Mason; Most Improved Scholarship, Richard G. Berube; Thomas D . Bailey Scholarship Trophy for Top Scholarship, Roger Randolph, Syracuse.

President Nettles presented the chapter's Hall of Fame Award to Richard Lukas, Hollywood, Fla. Among the recipient's many chapter and campus activities are these: President of Ph~ Alpha Theta national history honorary; member of the JuniOr and Senio; Judiciary· member of the executive committee of the State Party; BETA ETA pledgemaster, historian, and secretary.

ALPHA XI, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn

A highlight of the Spri~g Term at ALPHA XI was a con­siderable amount of house Improvement.

Eight men were initiated into the brotherhood March 8: Hans Rudolf Bredfeldt, formerly of Hamburg, Germany, who is now Jiving in Brooklyn, N.Y.; Angelo DeGiralamo, Astoria, Queens; Frank DeTurris, Ozor:e.Park, Queen~; Charles Houston, Jackson Heights, Queens; B1l!1e Jatzen, R1dge~ood, Quee':ls; Robert O'Donohue, Central Islip, L. I. ; Joseph R1pel, Baldwm, L. I., and David Wicks, New Hyde Park, L. I.

In IFC sports, ALPHA XI is in top contention for the bowl­ing trophy, with three wins an? no _ losse~ and with one meet to go. By winning the champ10nsh1p th1s year, ALPHA XI would be able to retire tl1e trophy, since the chapter won it the past two years.

25

The young man singing in the fountain at Florida State Univerolty is Brother John G. Brown, Boca Raton, Fla., who is paying off a bet. When Beta Eta Chapter of PI Kappa Phi at the university decided to use the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as one of its two entries in the campus sing this Spring, Brother Brown, a loyal Southerner, refused to participate in the competition. He did promise, however, that if Beta Eta won the contest he would sing the "Battle Hymn" in the fountain. The chapter won and he sang, with a bit of "Dixie" run in.

Thanks to the good labors of William F. Harazim, chapter secretary and IFC delegate who did much of the work of re· vising the IFC constitution and by-laws, ALPHA XI has been instrumental in the reorganization of the IFC.

ALPHA XI has had sorority parties, house parties, and smok­ers-all with equal success.

Cupid asked Historian Joseph E. McCooey to report that Fred Esposito and Mike Hornung are now pinned to Michaele Rabuffo and Terry Ponserella, respectively.

MU, Duke University

After the- heavy concentration on rushing at MU, the social program started rolling. Beginning with the pledge banquet, it has taken many forms, including the annual Spring formal.

Slated for the late Spring at Duke were contests in volley­ball, badminton, tennis, handball , softball, and swimming. Pi Kapps have signed up for all divisions .

Historian Tom A. Callcott gave MU'S line report, including news that 16 men were pledged recently, under the leadership of Rush Chairman D avid A. Quattlebaum, Bishopville, S C.

CHI, Stetson University

From CHI has come word that Pi Kappa Phi walked off with its third straight ( 4 out of 5) Interfratern ity Council Sing. High­light was the collaboration of Buddy impson and Bob Carnes in the lyrics to "We Belong to the IFC, Mutual Animosity So­ciety."

CHI members played a number of important roles , both on stage and behind the scenes, in the campus Little Theatre pro­duction of Shakespeare's "Cymbeline."

Under the direction of the Spring semester social chairman, C. ]. Abernathy, CHI has been having some of the best parties in CHI Chapter memory.

One of the most successful parties was held in conjunction with the University's Military Week End, this year under the direction of Gerry Lawrence. Parades, beauty contests, and a military ball were highlights, along with the party given by CHI Chapter for the visiting "brass." At this time, announce­ment was made that the Stetson U niversity rille team had won

26

the Third Army championship and placed second in the nati~ one point behind the University of Maine. It is reported t Pledge D ave Jenkins is mainstay of the team.

Mrs. Kassin, IOTA'S housemother, from D ecatur, Ga., has started a Mothers' Club, composed of a ll the mothers of the Atlanta and Decatur brothers. The first meeting was held at the Pi Kappa Phi house, but the subsequent meetings were scheduled to be held in the homes of members. Mrs. Kassin hopes eventually to bring the wives of the alumni into the club and thereby increase alumn i interest in IOTA Chapter.

During Winter Quarter, IOTA started having its chapter publication printed by offset instead of mimeographing it as formerly.

ALPHA OMICRON, Iowa State College

ALPHA OMICRON initiated the following men February 17: Bruce Applegate, Gladbrook, Iowa; Duane Jager, Eddy­vi lle, Iowa, and Otto Paul, Wheaton, Ill.

The chapter's No. 1 basketball team captured first place in the all co ll ege class "C' division after overcoming a streak of bad luck that plagued them at the beginning of the season.

Col. Harold A. Dye, a Pi Kapp from Georgia Tech who is on duty with the ROTC unit at Iowa State College, was the principal speaker at the chapter· s Founders' Day celebration. Seventeen alumni returned for the occasion. The ]. R. Sage Award, an award given annually to the outstanding pledge of the previous year, was presented to Richard Orht, Farragut, Iowa.

At the time Historian Ray Brandt wrote his report, plans were in the making for ALPHA OMICRON'S Rose Ball May 4 and for the chapter's participation in the Veishea celebration.

BETA OMICRON, Northwestern Stale College of Louisiana

Historian Michael Murphy of BETA OMICRON, Pi Kappa Phi's youngest chapter, opened his Chapter Letter with an ap­preciation to brother chapters for their information, chapter papers, and helpful hints on fraternity work and brotherhood which he credits with being largely responsible for the fact that the chapter is "working line."

A big hand goes to three members of the "baby chapter" for their line averages: Jerry Payne, 3.00; Robert Kelley, 2.78; John Barkate, 2.05.

In December the chapter staged its annual Fall Formal, with the theme, "Snowbound for Christmas," and tied it in with the Founders' Day Banquet. Because of the close competition between two candidates for Sweetheart, Miss Peggy Carr, a senior nursjng student now l iving at Gretna, La., and Miss Clois Warner, a senior nursing student now living in Living­ston, La., both were elected.

Thus far, BETA OMICRON is leading in intramural sports on the Northwestern campus. In two of them, swimming and gymnastics, the chapter bad defending champions who came away with victories for the second consecutive year.

Last semester the chapter initiated John Barkate, Sulphur, La.; James Brister and Percy Little, Bastrop, La.; Harry Pankey, Ferriday, La.; Buddy Scott, Natchitoches, La.; 0. W. Starks, Georgetown, La., and two alumni, Pat Kelley and Pat Todd, both of Natchitoches. These enlarge the BETA OMICRON ranks to 37.

The chapter has an informal party every other Friday night. To these, members and pledges come with their dates, and if they wish, they bring another couple who are not connected with any fraternity. It is believed that this will add to rushing.

The annual "Spring Bar-B-Que" is in the planning stage. For these events, members stay up all night preparing the barbecue and spend the next day eating it and swimming at one of the nearby lakes.
