Eight Members oF the Fraternity Receive

Scholarship Pendants

By DR. WILL E. EDINGTON

THE list of Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930 was announced in the October number of the

Star and Lamp. As in the past years, this group is composed of men who are not only scholars but also prominent in extra-curricular activities. How· ever, the awards are made purely for high scholar­ship and are not influenced in any way by the \vinners' prominence otherwise, for these facts be­come known to the Committee on Scholarship only after the list of Scholars has been determined.

The group of Scholars for 1930 is the largest of the four groups to be so honored and lacks just one of the maximum number of nine who may receive this award in any one year. Also this group is unique in that it represents nine chapters. Three Scholars of the group have held membership in two chapters, and two other chapters are each repre­sented by two Scholars.

The award of the scholarship pendant to these Scholars was made on Founders' Day, December 10, and also a handsome certificate announcing the right of the winner to the award was presented to each Scholar and to each chapter represented by a Scholar. It is hoped that these certificates of award \Viii be treasured by the chapters and will find a place among the other trophies in the chapter rooms.

Following are statements of the records of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930:

Ceci l M. Hefner Cecil M. Hefner was initiated into Xi chapter

but transferred to Iota chapter at Georgia Tech in the fall of 1927, and he is the first representative of both of these chapters among the Scholars of Pi Kappa Phi. That Hefner stands high in scholar­ship is evident from the fact that he was on the Bonar Roll in his three years at Georgia Tech, and that he was chosen for membership in Tau Kappa

Alpha, honorary oratory and debating society, and Tau Beta Pi, the leading honorary engineering so­ciety. He was president of the local chapter of the latter society. Being an engineer, he was also a member of the American Society of Mechanical En­gineers. In fraternity affairs he was also promi­nent, being archon of Iota Chapter and a member of the interfraternity council. Hefner was a mem­ber of the Georgia Tech band and the Marionettes, and he also found time to participate in the activi­ties of the Oil Can Club and the Free Body Club, of which he was Secretary.

William C. Davis, Jr. William C. Davis, Jr., is Omicron Chapter's first

representative and he also represents Alpha Eta Chapter, for be spent two years at Howard College before going to the University of Alabama. At Howard College Brother Davis was active in dra­matic and literary work and held membership in the Allied Arts Club and Sigma Upsilon, honorary literary fraternity. He was also historian of Alpha Eta chapter. At the University of Alabama he con­tinued his dramatic and literary work as a member of the Blackfriars, the university dramatic club, and as a member of the staff of the Corolla, the uni­versity annual. Davis was also national president of Rho Alpha Mu, pre-law fraternity. He was also alumni secretary of Omicron chapter. On account of his excellence in scholarship Brother Davis was awarded a fellowship in the department of history at the University of Alabama.

James B. Holman, Jr. James B. Holman, Jr., is the third Scholar to be

associated with two chapters. He was initiated into Rho chapter at Washington and Lee and while there was a member of Alpha Sigma, Freshman honorary English fraternity. He entered the University of

f31

South Carolina in 1928 and is now representing both Sigma and Rho chapters as their first Scholar. At South Carolina he held membership in Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraternity, and the Grill, German and Cotillion Clubs. In recognition of his excellent scholarship record, Holman received the Hutchison Scholarship in Economics at the Univer­sity of South Carolina, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and became an instructor in the school of commerce.

Silas G. Weinberg Silas G. Weinberg, Upsilon chapter's first Scholar,

graduated in June, 1930, in architectural engineer­ing with high honors. On account of high scholar­ship he received recognition on Honors Day during his last three years at the University of Illinois, and he was elected to mf"lmbership in Gargoyle, honorary architectural fratewity. Weinberg was unusually active in militar y work and was a cadet major in the engineering branch of the R. 0. T. C. , and his name was placed on the 1930 R. 0. T. C. Honor Tablet. He also is a member of Tau Nu Tau, military fraternity. He served as chairman of the Y. M. C. A. Fellowship Committee in 1928, and as a member of the Memorial Drive Committee in 1930. Brother Weinberg's present address is the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A., Chicago, Ill.

Arlhur H. Bostater Arthur H. Bostater is one of the two Scholars

who repre en t Omega in 1930. Omega chapter has succeeded in having at least one Schol ar each year since the award was es tabli shed, so that thi s year Bostater is helping to make a new record for his chap ter. His schol arship has been so consistently exceHent that hi s name has appeared on the dis· tinguished student li st each semester during his th ree years a t Purdue, and he was elected to member­ship in Eta Kappa Nu, hon orary electri cal engineer­ing fraternity, and Tau Beta Pi , honorary engineer­ing fraternity, in his Junior yea r. He is also a student member of the American Institute of Elec­tri cal Engineers. Bostater is now a Senior at Purdue.

Edwin T. Sherwood Edwin T. Sherwood is Omega's second Scholar

for thi year and he is also now a Senior at Purdue. Like Brother Bostater, he has very materially aided Omega in achi eving its excellent standing both a t Purdue and in Pi Kappa Phi , and his name has appeared on the di stinguished student list several Limes. He was elected to Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi and Kappa Phi Sigma, honorary fraterniti es, in his Junior year , and he also hold student member­ship in the American Institute of Electrical Engi-

THE STAR AND LA~

neers. Sherwood served on the editorial staff of the Purdue Engineer for two years and was Junior Editor last year. He was historian of Omega chap· ter last year.

Maynard L. Pennell Maynard L. Pennell bears the distinction of being

one of Alpha Delta's first two Scholars, and its first to be chosen in his Junior year. Brother Pennell has been unusually active in student affairs at the University of Washington where he has served as a member of the Student Council, of the Committee for the memorial Arch and the Community Fund Committee. He is also on the board of directors of the Japan Society. He served two year as chairman of the membership committee of the Y. M. C. A. and is president of the university Y. M. C. A. thi s year. In athl etics Pennell received his numerals as a mem· her of the Freshman crew, and for the past two years he has been a member of the varsity lightweight crew. His excellence in scholarship has been achi eved in the fi eld of aeronautical engineering.

Victor B. Scheffer Victor B. Scheffer is Alpha Delta's other Scholar

for 1930. He graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree la t August with Zoology as his maj or sub· ject. Brother Scheffer was honored with membership in Phi Sigma, Biology honorary society, and Sigma Xi , the leading scientific honorary society. In athletics he was second in intramural boxing and he also helped Alpha Delta to win a pennant in cross country running. Because of hi s fine scholarship record Bro ther $cheffer was awarded a Leaching fel· lowship at the University of Washington, where he now is working on the Master's degree.

Pi Kappa Phi indeed has reason Lo be proud of thi s spl endid group of Brothers who have done much and will continu e to do mu ch to bring honor and prestige to our beloved fraternity. May our entire membership realize that their records are further

ACTUAL football has now given way to post· .t\_ season discussions of "might-have beens," Prospects of the next season, talk of the Christmas holidays, recovery in the economic cycle. King Foot­hall has abdicated in a blaze of glory, leaving behind fame-possibly fortune-bruises and broken bones, disappointed hopes, and in some laps a mythical conference crown. From coast to coast Pi Kapps are doing the one or may be found among the latter classifi cations; therefore it is timely to join in the discussions and recognize those men of the organi­Zation who have helped to make the great American game the more brilliant and appealing, as stars of the first magnitude, as members of the "B" teams Preparing the regulars for their best performance, or as freshmen laying foundations for future great· lless. The irksome drubbing has been accepted with equanimity, victory and defeat have been met with the best of sportsmanship.

Valia nos winning the big "C" of the Golden Bears of California, Skokos wearing the red uniform of Cornell, Squires fighting for the coast champion· ship with the University of Washington, Cherry and Jenkins of Florida disappointed over the end of the

season without an S. C. pennant, and within these boundaries hundreds of other Pi Kapps participat­ing-gives a comprehensive and inspiring back­ground to the details of a picture that is most in­teresting.

Eight cap taincies fell to the lot of Pi Kapps: Stout of North Carolina State; Taylor, alternate, of Auburn; Gantier of Stetson; Williams of Roanoke; Maffett of Georgia; Gressette of South Carolina; Jackson, alternate, of Wofford; and Herrin of Ogle­thorpe. In the brighter part of the limelight because of their positions, tHese men performed in an unfal­tering way, became the delight of the public and the press, and in all ways fulfilled their destiny.

Two Ends at Sigma Correspondent Bolt of Sigma Chapter (South

Carolina) writes as follows concerning the chapter football activities:

-Maybe history doesn' t repeat itself, but there is another Gressette cap tain of the University of South Carolina football team. This is none othe1 than Brother Bob Gressette of Sigma Chapter. There have been four other Gressettes who were Pi

• I<apps and played football for Carolina. There has ?een a Gressette playing for Carolina so long that It is taken just as a matter of fact, like the long growth of beard commonly seen on the Smith Brothers, cough drop kings. So Bob was just obliged 10 come across with the goods-and he has done that and more. Bob has played the position of right end since he has been at Carolina. Last season he helped materially in many of the victories that we lYon, and this year as captain he has become an even lllore determining factor. He plays a stubborn, de­fensive game, smears many of the opponents' plays, and never fails to get his man when he tackles one. On the offense he has repeatedly shown that he can charge and block as well as the best. In the Georgia l'ech game this year it seemed that Bob was in every Play regardless of what type of play was attempted. l'he radio announcer got wind of this and cleverly dubbed him the "omnipresent Gressette." It would appear that Coach Alexander was not unmindful of ~he situation either, in view of the statement he made In an Atlanta paper. He said that Gressette was about the best end that he had come in contact with h: had observed recently. This constitutes a very lgh compliment when one considers the big teams

:ech has played and the weight that a statement of 'llexander's will carry.

-So much for Bob's football playing, but he has lllany other honors to his credit. He has had many offices in Sigma Chapter. Last year he was secretary of the Student Body, the highest honor that a Junior can gain, and in addition to this he was on the Pan­hellenic Council. He has always been an excellent Student and has materially boosted the chapter's

scholarship rating. This year he is vice-president of the German Club and a member of several social clubs. He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity, which is one of the largest honors on the campus. Taken all around Brother Bob Gressette is a fine sort of fellow and the kind of which Sigma Chapter can be proud.

-In addition to Captain Bob Gressette, we have several other men playing football who belong to Sigma Chapter. Frank Bostick made his letter last year as a Sophomore, and he played hard, clean football as a member of the regular squad. This year he was in every game and was one of the best fast-driving ends on the Gamecock team in all of these. Very soon he will change his love for foot­ball for his favorite sport, which is track. We are sure that Brother Bostick will again make varsity, and we hope he will be able to join the boys again next fall. In the meantime he must fill his duties as captain of the track team. He was last season, as a sophomore, the high scorer in several meets, and he holds the state record for the high jump. This is his second year as a member at large of the Honor Committee, and he is one of the most popular men on the campus.

The Sixth Gressette -We have two pledges on the freshman football

squad. These are Earl Clary and Tully Gressette. Earl is the brother of Ike Clary who was a star while at Furman and who is now a member of our chapter at Carolina. Earl made all-Southern half­back while playing for Gaffney, S. C., high school last year and it looks as if he will continue that

brilliant record in college. He has scored eleven touchdowns and innumerable points for goal in only three games this year. Tully Gressette is the brother of Bob who is captain of the varsity team. He is the sixth of the line of Gressettes and bids fair to fill his brother's shoes at the end position. He is a fine pledge and we look for big things from him later as a member of the varsity Gamecock team.

Outstanding Linemen at Kappa In the following, Correspondents Kurfees and

Daniel tell of the men that make football hi story at the University of Carolina:

-Kappa considers herself fortunate in having on the Tar Heel football team this year two of the most outstanding linemen. These are Brothers John " Red" U. Gilbreath and Theron R. Brown. Both boys are counted on to come across with the old punch to aid in cinching the State title.

"Red" plays second to none in his center position and has continually put himself in the limelight regardless of the stiff opposition he has encoun­tered. He weighs 185 lbs. and stands 6 ft. That hard punch of his must be due to his Texas origin. In the year 1928 he was captain of the high school team at Wichita Falls, Texas. Gilbreath and his running mate, Lipscombe, make up a unit that is considered to be the strongest in the Southern Con­ference . "Red" is also a member of the track team who participates in the weight events.

- Theron , who, by the way, is president of ~he Junior Class, has steadily held right end positi?:

to carry university colors in the national Chicago games last June 6 and 7, at Soldiers' Field in Chi­cago. He participated in the discus, javelin, shot­put, and broad jump events.

Underwood, Sewanee Half and p.,/1

Numerous at Pi Ritz of Pi Chapter writes: - The chapter was well represented on the grid­

iron this fall, having nine on the varsity squad and eight on the freshman squad.

- Claude Herrin, captain of the varsity and triple-threat backfield star, was seriously injured in the early fall practice, which forced him out of the game for the entire season. The loss of this speedy little hack was greatly felt as he was Oglethorpe's most consistent ground-gainer in 1929. These in­juries will probably prevent his playing basketball the coming season as well. However, it is believed that he will he in shape for baseball this spring. His being elected captain of these three teams is an honor seldom conferred on one man.

- Others on the squad who proved their worth are: Andy Morrow, veteran center, who was the mainstay of the line; Tanky Anderson, a quarter, who made a great reputatiorr for himself by his superb punting and elusive hips-he fills the po­sition vacated by Herrin; Billy 1 ames, another quarter; Nammie Raines, half; George Gi lliard, fullback; Sam Jones, end; Poolie Kadel, center; and John Bitting, half.

Xi Men Prominent -Although Xi cannot boast of an entire football

aggregation as she could in '29, she still retains that gridiron prominence which for the past decade has been her most prized possession. The current sea­son witnessed not only the promotion of Brother White to Head Coach, but also the selection of Billy Williams as football captain. Under the leadership of these two loyal brothers, Roanoke College foot­ball has acquired an entirely different aspect. One can visualize in this year's team an aggressiveness, a smoothness and a brand of deceptive football un­known to Roanoke followers.

-Coach White's rise to head coach has been noth­ing short of phenomenal. He was in charge . of freshman athletics for three years and had such an admirable record in that capacity that when our endeared Pinkey Sprughan decided to leave last spring, Pap was immediately given the position.

-Captain Billy Williams hails from Savannah, Ga., where he saw four years of service on the high school team. He is playing quarterback this . year but was used as a half-back previous to this year. He is a particularly good broken field runner and an accurate passer. He also plays basketball and base­ball, having captained the former team last year.

- Captain Williams is accompanied in the regular backfield by Brothers Ramsey and Rutherford, two seasoned veterans. This triumvirate has been re­sponsible for the brunt of the offense shown by this

year's team. Rutherford is a deceptive and hard· driving back, while Ramsey is particularly adept at punting. 1

-Buzzy Goode is playing his fourth and fi~a season on the varsity and seems to have been saving his best till last. The brand of football shown by him this fall stamps him as one of the grea~est tackles in Roanoke history. Silent Bell, also play1n_g

-Lorin King's claim to honor in Wolford's hall of fame rests on the clean, fine sportsmanship that he has exhibited during his three years as tackle on the varsity eleven. Last year Lorin was chosen on the all-State team and various sport writers ex­Pressed the opinion of many when they said they believed if he were playing for a larger school and 'With a better team he would have been chosen for the all -Southern squad.

• Four New Chapter Houses Are Enjoyed

[

Fraternity property 'Valuation increased approximately] $150,000 by the acquisition of houses by the chapters at Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon State and Penn State.

BY purchase or by building, four chap~ers of Pi Kappa Phi are happily ensconced m new

houses this fa ll. It is to the West that the honors go, for three of the houses are located west of the ''F'ather of Waters." Alpha Delta at the Univer­sity of Washington, Alpha Zeta at Oregon State College, Alpha Gamma at the University of Okla­homa, and Alpha Mu at P enn State are the proud Units of the fraternity that are looking through Windowpanes tha t are rose-colored and beautifu I because owned.

Alpha Delta Purchases Hugh W. Shaw writes: -Alpha Delta has taken a new hold on life this

fall by bu ying and moving into new quarters. Of lllodified Dutch Colonial style, this new house will Place the Washington Pi Kapps within half a block of the campus, right in the heart of the Greek dis­trict.

The nego tiations, which have been under way all summer under the guiding hand of Brother Mac­Kenzie, culminated in the actual transfer of goods and cha ttels during the first week in September, and Wh en school opened the first of October, Alpha ~elta was provided with a house that ranks with the best.

Alpha Gamma is Modernistic Colonial -After a period of concerted effort on the part

of the active chapter and the alumni-so writes Frank Ewing-Alpha Gamma's new home was com­pleted early in September at a cost of $65,000 and was occupied shortly thereafter. The erection of the house soars the valuation of Oklahoma Univer­sity's imposing new Fraternity Row to an even mil­lion dollars.

- The house is a three-story brick of Modernistic Colonial architecture and is unusually adapted for fra ternity use. The first floor includes a spacious living room, a sun parlor, dining room, hostess' suite, guest room, a large hallway with cloak room, a buffet pantry and kitchen. The upper floors con­sist essentially of combination study rooms and bed rooms, with twelve rooms on the second floor and eight on the third. Each upper Aoor is equipped with a commodious bathroom. The basement in­cludes a spacious chapter room especially con­structed to fulfill the chapter's individual require­ments. The basement a lso consists of several store rooms and individual rooms and showers.

-A large tiled terrace extends practically the entire length of the building and is Aanked on each end with well-balanced units of the house, and is canopied with a colonial pillared porch of two-

story height. A similar terrace sweeps out from the rear of the house and opens off the sun parlor. The back terrace is adequately fitted for garden parties.

- Possibly the outstanding feature of the neW house is its extreme roominess. Each room for stu· dent purposes is unusually large and airy and pos· sesses a large clothes closet and storing shelves. The house will comfortably accommodate approximately forty-five men. Another feature is the advantageous space that can be utilized for fraternity dances.

-The new house will compare most favorably with all fraternity houses on the University of Okla· homa campus.

- Dr. J. H. Robinson, district archon, headed the alumni building committee and was largely respon· sible for the successful consummation of the finan· cial program.-

Dreams Come True at Alpha Zeta From the pen of Raphael Greno:

-A deep sense of anxiety and eager anticipation was felt by the members of Alpha Zeta last surn· mer, when they passed the chapter doors to descend into the laxity of summer vacation. The older men showed the greatest concern; beneath the conquering countenances of the Seniors a deep interest dwelled; an interest ingrained by four years of college with Pi Kappa Phi. For many years earnest hands had toiled, and diligent minds had planned to make possible this undertaking. The rattle and hiss of a steam shovel, the smell of fresh dirt, and men huddled over blueprints foretold the construction of the long-awaited new chapter house. These be· ginnings made an impression on the departing men, and they looked forward to returning and the reali· zation of a dream. And those who took a prolonged leave and may never see the new house found satis· faction in the surety that an actual start had been made; just as the savage who has seen the break of dawn is certain of the day.

-With the last vestiges of summer, the Alpha Zeta brothers abandoned their work and travels, and once more turned their thoughts and footsteps toward college. After a long and tedious journey, the large, burnt-grey colonial structure loomed up like a mirage; and was approached with the suspi· cion of a desert traveller. But the warm clasp of brothers' hands and the clamor of welcoming voices on the threshold gave assurance that this beautiful sight would not vanish. It was truly a dream corne true.

-As the photograph reveals, the idea is colonial, and the furniture and interior fixtures were selected accordingly. One of the outstanding features is the

enormous amount of space that may be utilized for dancing. The floors of the dining room, reception hall, front room, and sun room, with their spacious arches parallel any ballroom. Another excellent Point in the new house is the amount of natural light that is secured for each room; notice the large French windows in the photograph. The house will Conveniently accommodate forty men. The two dor· lllitories provide sleeping accommodations for fifty­two, which makes ample room for visitors, besides

, ~here are two guest rooms. So, let this be a stand­Ing invitation to wandering Pi Kapps.-

. Pi Kapp T. J. Starker superintended the entire Job of construction, saving Alpha Zeta thousands in fees in that connection. A few excerpts from his letter describing the house give some interesting facts :

- It is of northern colonial design, set back ninety-five feet from the street. We own four lots, so the boys will have a lot of room in which to Play .... Everyone, including the appraisers, say that we have a $35,000 job .... Over the entrance hall is a large medallion carved from sugar pine With the Greek letters in the center, supported on each side by a scroll and a carving of oak leaves. Over the lounge mantel, which is of knotty western hemlock finished in the natural, is the fraternity crest in colors and carved from a piece of curly big-leaf maple.-

Early English at Penn State Michael Bigger tells of the new house in the fol­

lowing:

-During the fall of 1929 it was definitely de­cided that Alpha Mu should build a new house. The chapter already owned lots in the fraternity section, so, arrangements for financing having been com­Pleted with and plans having been drawn up by the McAllister Construction Co., work began last spring.

- The building committee was composed of Schu­lllacher, Gring, Rodgers, Porter, and Meade, and their work had much to do with the successful com­Pletion of our plans. Construction was so rapid that when the active chapter came back on Septem­ber 15 the work of moving in began immediately.

- The house is of the Early English period in architecture and is built of brick. The ground slopes ~0 the rear of the house, and consequently the front 18

shelves. A circular staircase with its wrought-iron railing lends a pleasing touch to the entry hall. This part of the house has plaster walls with a very attractive finish. On the first floor, besides the library, living room and entry hall , are a guest suite and a suite of two studies and a bed room.

- The basement contains a dining room, tiled serv­ing room and kitchen, maid's room, store rooms, chapter room, and furnace room.

The living quarters are arranged in two studies and a connecting bed room for four. There are eight of these suites, two combination study and bed rooms, and one suite of a study and bed room for two, accommodating thirty-eight men in all.-

Endowment Fund • • • $61.01

I Perhaps you have noted this statement in the ) financial reports of the Fraternity. In this article Supreme Editor Young tells of the initial donation. The remainder came from an unattached surplus.

I F there was ever a fraternity which possessed a firm, strong foundation on which to build an en­

dowment fund it is Pi Kappa Phi. For nearly ten years, there has appeared in the

audit of the fraternity's funds an account li sted as "endowment fund." It has been shown as hav­ing $50.

While that amount in the measure of worldly goods is small, the wealth of its spirit and the grati­tude of its donor are boundless and should be an incentive for the raising of a superstructure that will bring untold benefits to others traveling along the pathway lighted by the Star and Lamp. And through the e long years, when the endowment fund has often been di cussed, longed for, and desired, this small sum has rested in the money of the fra­ternity and has stood out as the forerunner of a grea t endowment which is surely to come.

Shortly after the death of Jasper O'Connell , Epsi­lon, ' 15, I received a letter from his sister. It con­tained a check for $50. The contents of that letter were burned upon my remembrance and as long as I shall live I do not believe I shall ever forget. " Here is a check, which Jack wanted his fraterni 'Y to have," it read. " He made it out but he died be­fore it was sent, and so I am sending it for him. He thought so much of his associations in his fra­t ernity that he wanted to show in a mea ure hi s gratitude for the fraternity that gave so much to him."

Roy J. Heffner, then supreme archon of the fra ter­nity, when learning of Brother O'Connell's gift, decreed that it should be placed in the permanent endowment fund of the fraternity because " the spirit of the gift more nearly accords with the spirit in which gifts to the endowment fund will be made."

Behind that gift, even though small , is the picture of loyalty and gratitude, which should be an inspira­tion to us today and which should be an impelling force for Pi Kappa Phi to resolve that Jack O'Con­nell 's gift shall not be in vain and instead shall be made into a fa tor that will lift Pi Kappa Phi's service to a still higher plane and make it possible for deserving brothers to be helped and struggling chapters to be encouraged. May it be a beacon light

that will point us to larger fields of service and send a gleam into the minds and consciousness of Pi Kapps everywhere that here was a brother who was not unmindful of what Pi Kappa Phi had meant to him and that as he has done so shall we do like· wise.

J ac!< O'Connell was a member of old Epsilon, back in its halcyon days at Davidson. He was of the class of 1915 and after his graduation went to Ra leigh, . C., where he was engaged in the insur· ance business. When America entered the World War, he volunteered for service and was a member of. the Seventh Anti-Aircraft Battery, C. A. C., land· ing in France in June, 1918, and returning March 8, 1919. He was discharged at Camp Lee, Va., March 25, 1919.

Shortly thereafter he fell a victim of the dread White Plague and for the next two years waged the fight of a good soldier; but in the end was forced to bow before the Grim Reaper. He died at Ashe· ville, N. C., July 9, 1921, and was buried at Char· lotte, N. C., his home.

From the pages of the Star and Lamp of Oc'tober, 1921, we taking the following: "Jack O'Connell is dead yet hi s spirit lives on and is an incentive to nobler living. Others have and may present larger gifts to the fraternity yet none can reach the height, the depth , the breadth of the spirit of gratitude of the gift of Jack O'Connell-gentleman, friend , brother."

Isn't this a challenge to us, i n't this an inspira· tion for us? Steeped in the tradition of such !I

noble and exemplary gift, our endowment fund ought to blossom into a great influence for good­It surely has the foundation. Will we build oli

tha t foundation?

LYMAN EDWARDS Youngest Radioman

AFTER dates are over and Alpha Gam Pi Kapps .t\.. return to the chapter house usually they are in the mood for a lengthy night bull session. And that's when they corner Lyman Edward, bring him down to the sun-room hangout, light a few fags, and lend all ears in hearing Lyman word-paint experiences he has had in fifteen foreign countries.

And Edwards has a vivid enough background to keep Pi Kapps listening almost until an Oklahoma dawn tints the big white columns of Alpha Gamma's colonial porch.

It's a mixture of naval officer, radio wizard and globe-trotter that makes Edwards interesting. Lyman received his commission as chief petty officer in the United States naval reserve, communication division, the past summer, following a Central American cruise on the U. S. S. Maury for service training. He is reputed to be the youngest radio operator ever to receive a commercial license from the United States Department of Commerce, and was informed during the past summer that he had made a perfect grade on his test at Chicago for a third renewal of his license.

Lyman became interested in radio while yet in grade school, but his amateur activities were ham­Pered by the World War, during which the govern­ment took control of all broadcasting stations and Put a silencer on ambitious beginners. After the

war, however, he made a study of radio, making several home-made sets which led to an amateur license as early as 1919, and won for him national praise for his success in sending and receiving mes­sages from distant points.

In 1924., he attended the Dodge Radio School in Chicago; and in 1927, while a student at the Uni­versity of Oklahoma, he won a scholarship to the Loomis Engineering College, Washington, D. C. Upon his graduation he was selected as one of five to accompany a government geological party to South America, sailing on the S.S. Amazon. The party spent from February to September, 1928, in South America. ·

Through his wizardry at radio communication, Lyman has served as radio operator on a half dozen or more steamships which took him to fifteen foreign countries, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, the three Gui­anas, Cozmel Island and the French Leper colony off the coast of French Guiana.

He has served in the capacity of radio operator at two nationally known land stations, WDD, De­troit, and WLC, Rober City, Mich. , which directed by radio practically all of the traffic of the Great Lakes.

(Continued on page . .)

[ 17 J

During the term of his lake service, Brother Ed­wards was operator on the S.S. White, S.S. Taylor, S.S. Munson, freight and cargo carriers on the lakes, and the passenger ship, " Christopher Colum­bus," an excursion boat plying between Chicago and Milwaukee.

In October, 1929, Lyman was one of the two Oklahomans who successfully completed examina­tions for government commissions as first class radio men with the United States naval reserves. As a resu It he was chosen by the government to make a Central American cruise on the U.S.S. Maury which combined his previous naval service with enough ad­vanced training to gain him the chief petty officer's commission.

Those Edwards tales that Pi Kapps get a relish out of are crammed full of wild animal and jungle sketches, South American parties, dances, gondola rides, and serenades with true Spanish accents and hue.

One of the stories the Alpha Gam boys like most is one concerning Lyman's experience while work­ing for the British Royal Oil Company, in charge of radio communications on a geological survey with the McCollum Geological company in Vene­zuela.

Says Brother Edwards: "On May 19, 1928, our unit, one of twelve of three men each, started into the jungle, only to be brought up short when D. S. Basim and G. R. Shepherd, who were with me, con­tracted jungle fever the first day out. Using the short wave, I was able to radio to Maracaibo for quinine and serum."

Then Lyman goes on into the details of the story, details of facing the jungle alone ,with his two com­panions dangerously ill, jungle nights with roving beasts in the lurid darkness, nights with the sole responsibility of caring for two comrades stricken with the dread fever; and then finally a dot in the southern skies, a company airplane bringing the life­giving serum and quinine in answer to the radio message.

Then, unless Pi Kapps want to save some of the stories for other times, Lyman will tell of the Span­ish senoritas, ocean voyages, locating of oil areas by radio transmission, tropic storms, and quaint foreign customs.

Maybe he'll tell the story about the time he shot charging alligators just as they attacked members of the party, and about the time the entire crew became lost in the jungle and wandered about for three days with no possible sustenance except wild tropical berries.

Edwards is national president of Alpha Delta Sigma, national radio fraternity, founded at the

THE STAR AND LAMP

University of Oklahoma in 1921, with chapters in many leading universities and colleges throughout the nation.

Electrical engineering and its relation to the dynamical phase of geology is his work, radio is his hobby, and travel is his enjoyment. He has stuffed all three into the last five years of his life, and he is only 21- just getting started well.

Edwards will receive his bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Oklahoma in the spring commencement. He will go to work with the Mc­Collum geophysical company of Philadelphia, a company specializing in making oil and mineral tests for governments and private corporations. In accepting his position, he turned down an oppor· tunity to qualify for a position as radio inspector with the United States department of commerce.

HERE'S A TIP ON

• Planning YOUR VACATION

PERHAPS it is a little early to begin planning your vacaton next .1\ugust. However, it might

be well to let your mind drift to thoughts of happY days. That is what you will 'have in Detroit if you attend the next Pi Kapp conclave.

Detroit is renowned the world around. No city offers more than this 'Michigan city does. It is not only a great automobile ~anufacturing center, but it is a great playgrouti1d as well. o. Here you will find everything that you desire to make your vaca· tion a happy one.

So why not begin to think about it? Our national conventions have heretofore been held at Christ· mas time, but this year the conclave will be during the month of August-just the time most of us will be taking a vacation. Th~s change was made to afford more of our members an opportunity to at­tend the convention during vacation time.

Perhaps you have never attended a Pi Kapp con· vention? If you haven' t you have a treat in store for you. Think of it-bringing back those happY college days-seeing the old gang again.

It is hoped to make the Detroit convention the biggest and best yet. Won't you do your part to make it a success. You can do that if you will begin now to plan your vacation. Plan to visit Detroit. Talk it to all Pi Kapps you see or meet- and write those of the old gang who you would like to meet there. Plan a reunion.

Detroit welcomes you-expects you.

Death Takes Two Popular Men

Thomas A. Joyce, Omicron

Thomas Anderson Joyce Enters Eternal Chapter

Bv A. P. MIZE, Jr., 0 '27

''RED" JOYCE was a "darn good fellow." The above description is set down with a

realization that an account of the collegiate career of Thomas A. Joyce, Omicron, whose death sounded a note of sadness throughout the realm of Pi Kappa Phi, might well be encased in more ostentatious language.

However, it is a deep-seated conviction of the \Vriter that "Red," with his penchant for directness and aversion to ostentation, would have liked just that-and little more-said about him after his death.

''Red," in his school activities, wrote a guide hook, the lines of which might well be followed closely by ambitious undergraduates. His is a record studded with achievement gained through continuous effort, intelligently and systematically applied.

To the University of Alabama, he brought a deep love for athletics, nurtured through his high school days, Virtually ru led out of actual play by his 8tnall stature, "Red" trained his talents on mana· gerial duties. His success was concretely portrayed to the campus in his last year of school, when he

[ 19]

won a letter as manager of the Crimson Tide, of far-Aung football fame.

Other activities stand as pillars for the assertion that the gridiron and gymnasium did not usurp all of "Red's" time.

He was here, there, everywhere on the campus. In military, he was cadet major of the second bat· talion, the highest command in the coast artillery branch of Alabama's R. 0. T. C. Jason's, an organi· zation of young men chosen for outstanding leader· ship in student affairs, carried his name in its list of membership.

The same qualities which pushed him to the front rank outside, followed him across the threshold of the classroom, where his sharp mind plunged di­rectly to the center of questions under discussion.

Take these attributes and mix them with a general campus popularity-among both students and fac· ulty members-and you have something of the man "Red" Joyce.

None can dispute he did more than his share in lifting the prestige of Pi Kappa Phi at Alabama during the trying years when the organization was shedding the stigma of a young, local organization and emerging as a national chapter of the first water.

Varied Program Enjoyed By New York Alumni

By GEORGE E. FERGUSON, Archon, New York Alumni

ON Wednesday evening, November 19th, at the chapter house of Alpha Xi chapter, thirty­

eight alumni representing Pi Kapp chapters from the North, West and South met together with several members of the active chapter of Alpha Xi and held a regular New York alumni meeting.

A. W. Meisel, District Archon for District l, gave a very interesting talk on the present status of the expansion program of the fraternity and stressed the need of cooperation of all the brothers, both active as well as alumni, with the expansion com­mittee.

W. A. Berry reported for the committee appointed to award the silver cup for scholarship competition between Psi chapter, Alpha Mu chapter and Alpha Xi chapter, which at present constitute District l. Brother Berry said that final report on the award of this cup wou ld not be announced until the Christmas dinner, which always is a great gathering of Alpha Xi and alumni and which takes place genera lly around the middle of December. Berry reported that the committee had not as yet been able to satis-

factorily tabu late and evaluate the standings of the men in the three chapters mentioned and that the job was rather involved and required considerable time and effort.

A serious discussion among the alumni as to their relation to active chapter matters in particular, and to fraternity in general, ensued.

Cards were given to each alumnus present with the request that he write his name, address, and chapter name thereon and also specify on the same if he would be willing to be called on to form a com· mittee with three or four other alumni to visit the active chapter of Alpha Xi at one of their regular meetings. A most hearty and whole-souled affirma· tive response met this request and the secretary was instructed to form alumni teams, notifying them in advance, to visit the active chapter and take part with at least a few words in the meeting.

(Continued on page 23)

Tragic Fate is Dealt to Charles McElroy S. C., for the purpose of purchasing a package of cigarettes, Charles "Red" McElroy, Rho '30, kicked the taut string attached to a double-barreled shot­gun and received in his chest a portion of the dis­charge. Without speaking, he left the station and climbed, unassisted, into the car in which with com­panions he had driven up to the station. They hastened to Pageland only to have him expire shortly after reaching the town.

The owner of the station stated that he warned McElroy about the trapgun, which was set because of numerous robberies of the station, but the engi­neering companions of the man, who remained seated in the automobile, aver that they heard no warning given.

Charlie graduated from the engineering school of Washington and Lee University last June, and at the time of the accident was a member of the per­sonnel of the State Highway Department of South

Carolina, on duty in road construction. He is the son of Hiram McElroy, prominent engineer of Tampa, Fla. It was while the father was engaged in assisting in the dredging of the Panama Canal that "Red" was born in Panama. He had often worked with his father in Tampa in subdivision and drainage work.

No member of Rho Chapter ever enjoyed greater esteem and affection of his mates than Charles. This extended to the entire campus, where McElroY was well-known and very popular. Thus it was that his sudden death came as a parlyzing blow to both chapter and university.

To youth death is intangible; although the men of the chapter know he has gone on the long ad· venture, it is not readily realizable, and the memorY of Charlie's happy and friendly disposition, his frank and charming manners, helps to avoid the full realization with its deeper sorrow.

New Edition of Songbook and New Songs Score Big Hit

THE new songs presented to the fraternity for the first time in the recently published song­

hook are fast finding favor with Pi Kapps every­where. The composers have received words of praise from all sides and the Central Office has been Aooded with letters complimenting the fraternity on the new songs and the make-up of the recent edition of the songbook. The words of praise are well deserved, for it is indeed a splendid piece of work and those who have contributed to it should be congratulated.

The book contains all of the old favorites that have been so popular with all Pi Kapps as well as many additional songs that are now available to the members of the fraternity for the first time. Fore­most among these are the prize winning songs of the recent song contest. It is our prediction that the blue ribbon song of the contest, "I'm Longing for Pi Kappa Phi," will soon nose ahead of the old favorites and become the most popular of the com­positions. It fills the long-felt need for a good snappy fox-trot and should prove popular on the dance Aoor as well as in the chapter houses. It is the work of Richard Lieurance, brother of the famous Thurlow. Permission has been granted to Sigma Delta Kappa, legal fraternity, to use this song in their new songbook which they are now compil­ing for they have men from all of the leading social

fraternities in their order, and wish to include in their book the best songs from these fraternities.

Another new song whose popularity is assured is "My Pi Kappa Phi Pal'," which won second prize for Howard Upchurch. The worth of "The Land Where Good Fellowship Reigns" has been proven by the high esteem with which all Alpha Xi men regard it, and this number is now given by them to all of the chapters. "Dream of Pi Kappa Phi," " Hymn to Pi Kappa Phi" and "My Pi Kappa Phi Red Rose" are all unusually good and help to make the songbook a success.

The songbook makes a good appearance and is a fitting companion for the History and Directory. The colors of the fraternity are carried out with a blue cloth cover bearing the title and fraternity coat­of-arms in gold. The book contains thirty-three fra­ternity songs in a total of sixty-four pages. The first three pages carry the pictures of the composers.

At last we have a fraternity songbook that any Pi Kapp will be happy to possess and be proud to give to " the one and only girl." It will compare favor­ably with the songbook of any other fraternity and will need no apology, no matter how keen the com­parison or how critical the judge.

These are priced at $1.50 a copy and may be obtained through the Central Office.

Beta Chapter was well represented on the gridiron in the persons of Barrett, an outstanding back; Pinson and Nettles at end, and Adams at center.

Nu Chapter thinks highly of Wayne Bly and ex­pects many things of him next season. He was in­eligible to play this year.

Charles McEuen journey to Illinois with two cap­taincies behind him- his high school and junior college teams. In the latter instance he led a con­ference championship team. On the fighting Illini team he is a varsity center. A running mate in Upsilon Chapter is Joseph Ondrus, who played a regular guard position on the "B" team.

Rho Chapter at Washington and Lee University was represented on the Generals' line-up by A. C. 1 ones, in the position of quarterback, and Wade MacDonald.

W. H. Inzer and Richard Millner held up Alpha Lambda's end on the gridiron at the University_ of Mississippi.

Three Other Coaches

Chi of Stetson lists Gantier as the captain of the varsity, Barker as the manager, and points with pride to the record made by Welshinger. Corre­spondent Montgomery writes concerning him:

-Carrol Welshinger has added more glory to the history of Pi Kappa Phi and to Chi Chapter in particular, for this year he has been named coach of the freshman team; and we are proud to say that his team is having a very brilliant season. Last year Welshinger was assistant coach of Stetson's varsity, and prior to that he played three years of varsity football and three years of varsity basket­ball. During the year 1928-29 he was captain of the varsity basketball team. He has also been very active in track and baseball at Stetson University.

D. S. Hostetter of Rho, after three years of var­sity, continues his football career as a successful coach of the yearlings at Washington and Lee Uni­versity.

At Oglethorpe Campbell continues his good work on the field as backfield coach of the Stormy Petrels. In 1926-27 he was rated as all-conference quarterback, and in 1927 served as varsity captain.

OF PI KAPPA PHI

Convention and Cups Occupy Detroit Alumni By FRANZ L. ROONEY

CONVENTION activity is going ahead under the well organized plan of District Archon J .

Wilson Robinson. The Publicity Committee chair­manship is in the hands of an able, experienced Pi Kapp, R. K. Smathers, with F. E. Whitelaw and Franz L. Rooney as his assistants. All local chap· ters are to be communicated with asking their aid in contacting with their own alumni.

Another convention gun was in the form of a real conclave held by the Detroit Alumni Chapter with the local active chapters of Alpha Theta, Michigan State; and Alpha Kappa, University of Michigan. This event took place at the Allene] Hotel, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Saturday evening after the Michigan-Minnesota football game with Alpha Kappa chapter acting as host. This conclave is an

(Continued from page 20)

Archon Weingartner of Alpha Xi reported on the activities of the active chapter and extended a most cordial invitation to the alumni to attend and partici­pate in the active chapter meetings.

After the business part of the meeting was finished, the speaker of the evening, Captain John H. Ayers, in charge of the Bureau of Missing Persons, New York City Police Department, gave a most interest­ing and instructive lecture on the work of his depart· ment in the seemingly almost hopeless task of ascertaining the whereabouts of persons who mys­teriously disappear each year in the large city of New York. Captain Ayers, by the way, is a graduate of Hamilton College, class of '88 and is also a mem­ber of Psi chapter of Theta Delta Chi. He preceded his remarks by paying tribute to Hamilton College and greek letter fraternities. Captain Ayers was a most interesting speaker.

The meeting then adjourned and the remainder of the time was devoted to acquiring new friendships and renewing old ones, while light refreshments were served.

The New York Alumni Chapter is trying to make the alumni count in the development and progress of Pi Kappa Phi and we need help and suggestions which we can put into action-we would be glad to hear of the experiences of the other alumni chapters.

annual affair at which the winners of the Scholar· ship Cup in each chapter and the cup symbolic of scholastic supremacy between Alpha Theta and Alpha Kappa are announced.

This year Alpha Kappa is the winner and is to be congratulated upon its steady rise in scholarship. Alpha Kappa has come from near the bottom in the University of Michigan scholarship ratings up to the 17th place out of 70 fraternities rated.

Brother T. N. Hurd has won the scholarship con­test within Alpha Theta chapter and Brother Fred Flynn is winner of individual honors at Alpha Kappa.

The Detroit Alumni Chapter desires all Pi Kapps to drop in and visit them at any time they may be in Detroit.

• Zeta Wins SCHOLARSHIP CUP By MARVIN L. HOLLOWAY

T HE goal to which the fraternities are constantly striving at Wofford was reached during the past

scholastic year by the brothers of Zeta when the Pan-Hellenic Council announced that they had been awarded the Interfraternity Scholarship Cup on Nov. l. Pi Kapps with a scholastic average of 83.80 were closely followed by the local chapter of Alpha Lambda Tau with an average of 83.01.

The award of the cup to Zeta is the first time that this signal honor has come to them. Last year the cup was won by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter. Other fraternities competing against Zeta for this coveted honor were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Alpha Lambda Tau, and Theta Kappa Nu. During the past year while the scholastic average of Pi Kapps was 83.80 the scholastic average of all students was 81.36. The fraternity men of the campus had an average of 81.09, while the non-fraternity men had an average of 81.41. Not only have the brothers of Zeta held up their scholastic standing but they have taken part in more campus activities than ever be­fore.

With the pledging of eight freshmen the brothers are busy now carrying on their numerous duties and they are determined to do their best to keep the Scholarship Cup another year.

:an>s of Prominence • Jones Adds Another Position

to His Long and Imposing List

T o very few men of his age is it a privilege to look back on a life of worthwhile and signal a complishment such as is permitted to Dis­

trict Archon WalLer R. Jones, should he ever, perchance, look to the rear. His career, at one and the arne time, is an in piration and a source of self-recrimination-to the younger men the inspiration, to men of his age the recrimination. He is of the fibre all would like to be, but that is not possible.

Since the beginning of the fall term he has been filling the position of Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at Oregon tate College, thus passing on to others the knowledge and experience gained in year of manufacturing and designing aeroplanes.

Walter R. Jones

He was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, July 8, 1900; and in this town received his early

education at the Birkenhead Institute. From the Univer ity of Wa hington he received the degree of

Bachelor of Science in 1923, cum laude, and the profes ional degree of Mechanical Engineer in 1928.

Jones ha& been actively engaged in the aeronautical industry since 1917. From 1923 to 1929, he was succes ively propeller designer, chief stre s engineer, and airplane designer for one of the largest aircraft con tructors in the country- Boeing. He is designer of a high speed mail plane now being used by the

three biggest air mail contractors in the nited States.

His present occupations consist of being, besides a professor: President and Gen­eral Manager, Willis-} ones Machinery Company, Inc.; President, Precision Industries, Inc., and President and Treasurer, Holton Investment Company, Inc.

In umming up his many affiliations, we find him a member of the Society of Automotive Engineer -Vice-Chairman, Washington section; Associate member of

the U. S. Naval Institute; Member, Round Table (London, England); member of Tau Beta Pi, Honorary Engineering Fraternity; member of Overlake Golf and Coun­

try, Seattle Aviation Country, and Washington Athletic Clubs; and an Ensign, U. S.

aval Aviation Re erve.

His fraternal activities &re as follows: With George Allen Odgers, he carried

on n~gotiations which resulted in Chi Up ilon Chi, which became Alpha Delta of Pi Kappa Phi; assisted in the establi hing of Alpha Zeta at Oregon State; and has

done much in retaining the fraternity's contact with the Pi Kappa Fraternity of the

University of British Columbia, which within a year will formally petition the fra­

ternity for a charter.

moted to the second vice-presidency, and thi year at Denver was promoted to first

Lion Hyer is noted all over the country for his oratorical ability, and for his wit

Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel

SINCLAIR LEWIS in explaining his refusal of the Pulitzer prize, in an article appearing in the

New York Times and other newspapers, stated thai the basis of award "suggests not actual literar)' merit, but an obedience to whatever code of good form may chance to be popular at the moment."

He continues : "As a result of this, the Pulitzer prize has bee!l

given to some merely mediocre novels along wiU1

other admirable novels. It is sufficient criticism of the prize to say that in the last few years it has not been awarded to Cabell's 'Jurgen,' Dreiser's 'A11

American Tragedy,' Hemingway's 'A Farewell t~ Arms,' Wolfe's (Kappa) 'Look Homeward, Angel, or Cather's 'A Lost Lady'."

In Beverly Young, Beta has one of the most prominent men on the campus. Besides having the signal honor of editing the College Yearbook, he is a letter man in football and baseball and holds membership in several honorary fraternities. Like­wise, Beta can boast of another very active leader of student activities. James Kennedy is president of the local Y. M. C. A. His other duties include business manager of the weekly paper and manager of varsity track. He is also our representative on the Pan-hellenic Council.

Hugh T. Swedenberg, Jr., a graduate of this school and now Professor of English here, was re­cently selected as the Chapter Adviser.

A sa ti sfactory social season, including three suc­cessful house parties and three weeks of rushing at the beginning of the term, has been the chapter's thus far. The initiation on September 25 of Bill Hayes of Fremont increased the number on the roll to eighteen. Three juniors, two sophomores and one pledge, however, failed to return this year.

Lawrence Knox and Boggs Corbin, president and secretary of the freshman neophytes, respectively, have performed their task of management of this organization very efficiently. Instructive talks have been given to the pledges by the members of the chapter.

The chapter has been much interested in inter­fraternity athletics this fall. Basketball is next on the program, campus football having been com­pleted, in which Davidson Pi Kapps reached the finals. E. A. Beaty, professor of Latin at Davidson, has recently been appointed Chapter Adviser by Supreme Archon Wagener. Epsilon recognizes Pro­fessor Beaty as a very competent adviser, as well as

a loyal brother in Pi Kappa Phi. Dr. G. R. Vowles, head of the German Depaitment, is our other capable adviser on the faculty.

Activities of the members of Epsilon Chapter in· elude: Editorship of 1930 Wildcat Handbook; Mem· bership in Delta Pi Kappa, International Relations Club, Sigma Upsilon, Le Cercle Francais, Alpha Phi Epsilon; two wearers of the Golden Quill; fra· ternity and athletic editorship of the Quips and Cranks; Officers' positions in the R. 0.

The pledges are represented in the following: Football; band, glee club; Davidsonian work; dra· matic club; debates; basketball; riAe team; track; Y. M. C. A. and football managerial work.

Owings of Zeta Possessor of Unusual Number of Honors

' By MARVIN L. HOLLOWAY This report is not a series of eulogies nor is it

an autobiographical sketch of the men of Zeta Chapterl but, instead the writer is attempting to show that Wofford Pi Kapps are constantly active. Time after time campus honors have been deservedly won by the wearers of the Star and Lamp.

The accompanying picture is that of Alpheus (Jake) Owings. Jake's chief claim to fame lies in the fact that he is president of the Wofford student body, and, I dare say, is getting more support and cooperation than any former holder of said posi· tion. After being elected by such an overwhelming majority, it seems ine;vitable that he should have the whole-hearted support of Wofford students. In addi· tion, he is editor-in-chief of The Bohemian, the col· lege annua l ; and the lights that ~urn in his office at midnight and into the wee hours of the morning reveal that he is working hard; which work will doubtless be rewarded by the assurance that he has published one of the best annuals in the history of our Alma Mater. One watching the Terrier football team practice would see Jake ready to do anything at any time for any player on the squad. No, he is not a doctor, but one of the best managers that has ever carried on the affairs which are entrusted to the manager of a Wofford team.

Jake is a member of the International Relations Club, Wofford's only society to honor excellence in

Bcholarship, and also Blue Key, a national honorary leadership fraternity which purposes to draw to­gether in each college or university, in which a chapter is located, the leaders of student life.

Owings is a charter member of the Delta Phi Alpha and a member of Sigma Upsilon, national honorary German and literary fraternities respec­tively. Jake was initiated in the Scabbard and Blade, nation a I honorary military fraternity, a few days ago. This is not a hint for anyone to send him a feather pillow, however, for I think he was suffi­ciently padded. He is an integral part of the un­Usually active Senior Order of Gnomes, the purpose of which is to gather together the most prominent and influential members of the Senior Class and to establish a goal for underclassmen which may be attained only by consecration to those things which tnake students of the highest calibre.

Owings wou ld be a credit to any fraternity and a valuable asset to any college or university. He is a man who towers above ordinary standards.

Bernard Foster was recently elected president of the International Relations Club, a position which carries with it much influence as well as concen­trated work. Bernard is also a member of the Blue Key and Sigma Upsilon fraternities. He is business tnanager of The Old Gold and Black, the college \veekly newspaper, and advertising manager of The Bohemian. Bernard's efficiency in debating has won for him a place on the debating team-the team that \von the State debating championship last year. He is, in addition, a member of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity, the purpose of which is to stimulate interest and promote effi­ciency in intercollegiate oratory and debate. Bernard has recently been elected to membership in the Scab­bard and Blade.

Joe Hood's scholastic ability as well as his gene­ral popularity on the campus has been recognized by his fellow studen ts, and has obtained for him a Place in three honorary fraternities; namely, Delta Phi Alpha, Chi Beta Phi and Beta Pi Theta. The last one is composed of men who have French as a common interest and who desire to perfect them­selves in it.

0. C. Wilson's literary merit has been recognized by membership in Sigma Upsilon. He is sports editor of The Old Gold and Blaclc, and one of the foremost authorities on college athletics in the State. His column, "Terrier Tips," is constantly Praised and often quoted by sports editors through­out the State. 0. C. is also hi storian of the present Senior class.

Carlisle King is a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council, as well as a worthy representative at Con-

verse College during his idle moments. Carlisle does not find so much time for scholastic pursuits, but be is never too busy to see that the weaker sex do not suffer from lack of attention.

Tom Taylor was formerly as interested in Con­verse affairs as is Carlisle, but now we think he has limited his socia l pursuits until it is a matter of life and death if he isn't with one particular girl. Taylor is president of the Calhoun literary society, a member of the Glee Club, and of Scabbard and Blade.

"Pink" King is feature editor of The Bohemian and holds the same position on the staff of The Old Gold and Black.

That completes the list of seniors and we now turn with new zeal to the juniors. David Derrick is assistant manager of the football team as well as assistant circulation manager of The Old Gold and Black. Willie Hite is, and has been since his fresh­man year, a member of the Glee Club. Willie is a jazz musician, playing with the orchestra that is known throughout the State as the spirited "Blues Chasers."

We have just completed the most succes ful rush­ing season in the history of Zeta Chapter. We sent out eight bids and now eight white diamonds may be seen on the lapels of some of the most promising freshmen among the first year men. The pledges are: Tom Diseker, Jim Polsom, Fred Nash, Moultrie Derrick, Alonzo Bouknight, and Joe Allen. The lat­ter two are now regulars on the frosh football team.

Then, to add to it all, two weeks ago the faculty announced that Zeta Chapter had won the Inter-fra­ternity Scholastic Cup, which is presented annually by the Pan-Hellenic Council to the fraternity which has the highest scholastic average.

Eta Inaugurates Chapter Meals and Dormitory System'

Eta Chapter has at last gone domestic and has started serving meals in the chapter house. Under the leadership of our Archon, Bill Edwards, we have rooted Keith Wilson and Johnny Bell out of their "kitchenette apartment" and have replaced them with a few pots and pans. In the past Eta has not run a table because the fraternities are some· what smaller at Emory than at the average school and also because of the convenience of eatina at "T R "J h ' · · · c ea- oom o nson s, wh1eh 1s just down the street. All of the boys living on the campus are eating at the house, and the ones living in Atlanta take lunch with us. We believe that it will bring about better comradeship and a closer fraternal feeling in the chapter by being able to gather three times a day at the table in our own home.

[ 31 J

Another progressive change for Eta is the new dormitory system that we have inaugurated. The bedrooms are used only for studies and dressing rooms, and everyone sleeps on the sleeping porch. These changes have proved very sati sfactory and are quite an improvement over our old system.

The chapter returned seventeen old men to school and we have initiated three new men. They are Harman Carter, Selma, Alabama; William Floyd, Lagrange; and George Williams, Valdosta. In addi­tion, we have the following pledges: Doug Jeiter, Wilbur Dobbs, Moyce Sykes, Atlanta; Alex Blalock, Miami; Tom Gower, Charles Patterson, Cordele; Pete Dupont, Valdosta.

At the recent campus elections, Bill Edwards was elected to the Student Activities Council, Buck Cle­ments to the Athletic Council and Pledge Charles Patterson to the presidency of the freshman Busi­ness Administration class.

Social Events Prominent In Iota's Yearly Activities

By GREENWOOD HENSON Iota chapter started off this September by pledg­

ing fifteen of the most promising freshmen at school. Some of them have already won distinction for them­selves on the sporting pages and in other activities. Iota is looking to these men for big things.

The fall initiation was held on October 12th. Two new brothers, Claude Sawyer and Bill Perkins, were added to our roll which now totals twenty-eight.

We have enjoyed several informal house dances during the past two months, which were attended by a number of the college set. They have proven so popular that we expect to continue the practice all during the winter. Our first official social fun c­tion of the year will be a dance given in honor of our pl edges on November 26th.

On December 6th and 7th the officers of the chapter will attend the Tri-District Conclave at Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Doctor Wagener will be the guest of honor at this occasion as well as the prin­cipal speaker. Chapter problems will be discussed and ironed out.

Our customary Spring dance has been planned for May l st. Rudy Brown and his orchestra have been secured to play for us. The type of dance has not definitely been decided hut in all probability we will renew the custom Iota has followed for sev­era l years, with the exception of last year, and have a Ball of Nations. You will hear more about this feature in a subsequent edition of the Star and Lamp.

Kappa had three men to be initiated into Phi Beta Kappa last spring. They were as follows : Moore, O'Neil and Slater. Each one of these men averaged 92.5 or above for three years. These re· cent initiations cause Kappa to have more members in Phi Beta Kappa than any other fraternity at the University.

In regard to the rushing season, the chapter con· siders itself very successful in pledging the follow· ing men: James Felts, Graham McLeod, William McAllister, James Hockaday, Joe Muse, Robert Mc· Williams, William Pierce, Lasley Hudson, Hale Yokley, James Bobbitt, William Wallin and Torn Spencer. Pledge Graham McLeod had the honor of being elected president of the Freshman Friendship Council. This makes the second consecutive year that one of our pledges has been elected to this office.

In reference to activities, Dawson was elected associate editor of the Carolina Magazine; Newman is a member of the executive committee of the Ger· man Club and manager of the cross country team; Danial is assistant manager of track; Slater is presi· dent of the Holy Grail and a member of the varsity basket ball team; Moore is associate editor of the Daily Tar Teel and recently received very favorable

Twenty-Two Active Men Return to Mu Chapter

Mu chapter has opened the year of 1930 with as good a start as they had in 1929. The chapter was fortunate in havina lost only two brothers by gradu­ation, and there w:re twenty-two Pi Kapp's on hand to carry out a strenuous rushing program. And the rushing season was a strenuous one, too. Mu was, however, successful in pledging ten of the best freshmen on the campus, and they are as follows: William Orr, Philadelphia, Pa.; James King, Wil­mington, N. C.; Adin Rucker, Rutherfordton, N. C.; William Dunford, Petersburg, Va.; Mario Martinez, Cuba; William Bridgers, ewport News, Va.; Tom Gadd, Charlotte, N.C.; W. P. Burwell, Warrenton, N. C.; Bryson Tipton, Durham, N. C.; Wilbur Sachsenmaier, Philadelphia, Pa.

These freshmen have already started to work. Bill Bridgers is freshman sports writer for The Chronicle, the Duke weekly. lim King is out for the freshman football team and should make a va lu­able man next year. Bill Dunford was given a part in the cast of the first Taurian play, a dramatic club which produces severa l plays each year. The rest of the pledges are busy about the campus, engaging in various forms of studen t activities.

The older men have not been idle thi far, and Mu has three men on the fast-stepping Duke football squad: John Brownlee, Percy Young, and Belton Oneal Bryan. Ben Miller is in the Duke hand, as is Norfleet Hoggard. Joe Skinner is assist.ant sp~rts editor of The Chronicle. Henry Fulmer Js workmg for the track team. As a freshman, he led in points scored in intercollegia te contests of the state. Fred Krupp is a member of the Taurian Cast.

Taken all in all, the Pi Kapp's are becoming more and more important fi gures in the Duke student life. John Brown lee is showing the way to the office-seek­ers of the chapter by being elected to the presidency of the sophomore class and of the Bela Omega Sig­ma, a national honorary fraternity for sophomores. We have hopes of placing men in the coming cla s election for the junior and senior classes.

Nu Chapter is Enthused Over Pledges, House Mother, House Plans

By JUDD P. BRENTON Twenty actives returned to the chapter house this

fall, and with sp lendid coopera tion we secured thir-

son; right, Judd Brenton. Lower: Captain Trttell and a few Ntt cadets.

teen pledges to begin the year with. Since that time we have added five more pledges to our lengthy list of neophytes. With three more likely pro pects in view, we feel tha t we have done very well in this field.

As usual , Nu is well represented in athletics. We are participating in every varsi ty sport and in all intra-mural activities, the resu Its of which will come at a la ter date. Wayne Bly is out for varsity foot­ball and has done splendid work in ·practice. He was ineligible this fall, hut watch his smoke next fall. He is a 'coming All-American. Davison, who made his letter at' ' baseball last spring, is now out for basketball with our letter man Davey. Pledge Dean Br nton was unable to compete. in freshman football as a resu It of an auto accident. He will be out for hasketba II and track. Pledge Zinnecker, Schmidt,

[ 33 J

Wohlford, Winterhalter, and Robins will be out for basketball honors. Schmidt and Robins will also participate in baseball. "Muscle Bound" Schweiger is out for wrestling. Pledge Duncan is our prospec­tive golf champi?n·

Judd Brenton is active in the Dramatic Club and is one of the officers. Hedge and Pledge Dean Brenton have been recently pledged to the organization.

Archon Galloway is one of the best representative men of Nu Chapter. He is president of Alpha Kappa Psi, member of Beta Gamma Sigma, member of Business Administration Commercial Club Board, Interfraternity Council Representative, and is a Gold's Scholar. Galloway has already proven him­self one of Nu's outstanding archons.

Jerry Young, one of our freshman law students, has a position on the Cornhusker staff as associate editor; and he is also a society reporter for The Daily Nebraskan.

We are partly solving our scholastic problem by conducting study table on a more advantageous basis, and through the Mother's Club's activities in this field, we hope to derive much benefit.

Our most noble and worthy deed this year is the installing of a house mother. We have already real­ized what an asset a house mother brings to a fra­ternity. We are proud of Mother Pelton and every­one likes her.

And lastly, gentlemen, we wish to inform you that Nu chapter is scheduled to be situated in one of the finest new houses to be seen anywhere, and it will be in the center of the Nebraska campus, on September 1, 1931. The University Board of Regents claim this location the choice lot on this campus. We have the splendid work of our alumni to be thankful for and right gladly do we extend our heartiest apprecia,­tion for their great work.

Omicron Dedicates Chapter Room to Roy Skipper

By H. H. MIZE

WHEN the University opened on September 10, we had twenty-one members back in school.

With Brother Theodore Jackson, Archon, holding the reins of the chapter, we conducted one of the most successful rush weeks we have ever had. The present remaining officers are: Harry Carroll, Treasurer and House Manager; James A. Watts, Secretary; Henry H. Mize, Historian; Webster Man­derson, Warden; Charlie Price, Chaplain.

Added to our twenty-one members back were six

transfers who fell right into line and gave us their full co-operation during rushing. Alpha-Eta has sent us three, while one comes from Iota, Alpha· Iota, and Alpha-Gamma. Mel Jackson, James Allen, and Emerson Gay hail from Howard. J. Shack Gay comes to us from Auburn. Gene Salmon is our first transfer from the Oklahoma Chapter, and Jack Trost is Georgia Tech's representative. All of these brothers have entered the _chapter with great zeal and in the Pi Kapp spirit.

The result of rush week was that twelve men are the wearers of the white diamond. They are as fol· lows: L. G. Hughes, Tuscaloosa; Beho Kirkland, Ashford; George Hager, Flat Creek; Frank William· son, Anniston; Ralph Mosley and Bill Moody, Syla· cauga; Billy Bailey, Dothan; Ralph Morrison, Jasper; Charles Fee, Olney, Illinois; Charles Ken· drick, Luverne; Warren Hemphill, Mobile; Joe Rice, Northport. These freshmen give promise of great futures at the University, for they are already participating in the various activities on the campus.

Pledges Hughes, Kirkland, and Williamson hold places on the "regular" freshman football team; while Pledges Moody, Mosley, and Hager are show· ing promising football material. Pledges Hughes, Hemphill, and Kendrick have been elected to Rho Alpha Tau, an interfraternity social freshman fraternity. Pledges Fee and Morrison have re· cently been pledged to Alpha Kappa Psi, pro· fessional commercial fraternity. Pledge Kendrick is now serving on the Freshman Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and Charles Fee is playing the saxophone in Brother John Hart's orchestra, The Crooning Crimsons.

Activities, however, at Omicron Chapter have not been confined to those of the Freshmen. Three of the members, Bob Mundine, Harry Carroll, and Wilbur McKinley have been elected to The Druids, honorary sophomore fraternity. McKinley has also been recently initiated into Tri-Psi, national inter· fraternity social organization. Reese, also a member of Tri-Psi, is a recent initiate of Alpha Kappa Psi. Askin is one more added to our list of Phi Chi pledges. Watts is a member of Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional fraternity, and both Reese and Watts are members of Scabbard and Blade. Lynch is a member of the Glee Club, Matrix Club, and assistant editor of The Rammer-Jammer. Davis, formerly of Alpha-Eta, is one of the winners of the coveted Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Key.

Edward S. Carothers, our secretary for last year, has returned this year as a full-fledged professor of political science. Carothers is a member of Alpha Mu Rho and Phi Beta Kappa. He is Omicron's first contribution to the faculty of the University and has been recently appointed Chapter Adviser.

Miss Blackwell Elected Sponsor of Pi Chapter

By ALAN RITZ Miss Mary Blackwell, charming daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Earl Blackwell of Atlanta, was unanimous· ly elected sponsor of Pi Kappa Phi recently.

Pi chapter started its rushing this season with great spirit and now sixteen men are wearing the gold and white diamond. They are: Jack Johnson, Millen, Ga.; Ned Boyer, Hawkinsville, Ga.; Harold Martin, Norcross, Ga.; John Coursey, Atlanta, Ga.; Claude Buchanan, Atlanta, Ga.; Ward Hardin, Whig· ham, Ga.; Loyd Davis, Savannah, Ga.; Philip Hild­reth, Savannah, Ga.; Rudolph Shouse, Manchester, Ga.; Richard Stone, Charleston, W. Va.; Bryon Walker, Madison, Ga.; Lamar Kemp, Valdosta, Ga.; Luke Moss, Rome, Ga.; Frank Anderson, Decatur, Ga.; Frank Richards, Decatur, Ga.

Our pledges have been organized into a group that can function by itself, having its own officers and rules. Since they have been organized they have sponsored a banquet and dance at the Ansley Hotel in Atlanta, Dec. 5, in honor of the active chapter. John Coursey is president and Hubert Kadel, secretary and treasurer.

Holman Leads in Honors Won at Sigma Chapter

By BILLY BOLT

T HE honors which our football men have cap· tured are recorded elsewhere, both football

honors and other extra-curricular activities. Yet we have several men in our chapter who have demon­strated in various forms their campus leadership.

Marion Holman leads all other members of Sigma Chapter in the number of honors gained this year. He was elected business manager of this year's Garnet and Black, an enviable position of respon­sibility. He was last year's assistant business man­ager. Holman is also manager of the "Gamecock" varsity basketball squad, and has been for the past two years assistant manager. Marion ranks Number l man on the tennis team and bids fair to repeat it his Senior year. In addition to these he is a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council.

( 35 ]

James Henry Fowles, this year is an instructor in the Engineering Laboratory. He is assistant editor of the Garnet and Black, the college annual.

"Swat" Cowan is back with us this year as a stu­dent, after a year's absence. He is an instructor and lecturer in Engineering. "Billy" Bolt has been elected vice-president of the Junior Law Class.

Many Alumni Return to Upsilon for Homecoming

By CLARENCE FRAZER

U PSILON opened up this year with twenty-one actives answering the first roll call, and to

date has nine pledges, all engaged in some form of campus activity ranging from publications to sports.

Looking forward a little, on May 19 Upsilon will celebrate the tenth year of her existence as a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Looking back over the ten years, we find that they have been fruitful years for the chapter. A scholastic standing consisten tly high, a constant increase in social prestige, and an ever­increasing number of cups on the mantel bear witness to this growth.

Homecoming this year was one of the most suc­cessfu l in the history of the chapter. More than twenty of the alumni were back to renew contact with the undergrads. Dad's Day too was unusual, both in the numb'er of dads present and in the twenty brothers from Omega who came over to see the Purdu~-lllinois game.

Upsi lon is 'fortunate in having Lorry Thaisen back as a graduate student, taking work in education ; also in the welcome presence of Clarence Moyer, Psi, who is taking graduate work in chemistry. Both of the~e brothers are giving the chapter their assistance in the various activities.

Meyer has joined the ranks of Upsilon alumni living in Champaign, and is selling insurance to all who will listen. Barker was here for several weeks, o,n business, and then left for Indianapolis.

. Many other alumni have visited us in the course of the :semester, among them Maimer, McCoy, Mor­gan, Allan, Ullemeyer, Howard, Gunlock of Chi, and Towill, of Rho. '

Final plans for the financing of the new house are now under way, and Upsilon hopes to make the tenth year of its life a memorable one through the completion of these plans.

' Chapter officers for the semester are as follows: Charles Nelson, archon; Bud Wells, treasurer; Paul Leppla; secretary; Clarence Frazer, hi storian; Clif­ford Wertsch, chaplain; and Donald Mulvihill, warden.

Chi chapter opened up at 1. B. Stetson University last September with a series of successful smokers held at the house, mostly for the purpose of getting all the old men together once again and to meet the new freshmen.

We are very proud of Carol Welshinger, who has been named freshman coach for this year, and Pi Kappa .Phi is lucky to have five pledges on his fresh· man team. Welshinger was also elected presideNt of this year's Senior class at Stetson.

Barker has won the envied office of manager of the varsity football team for this year, and Neophyte William Gantier is captain of the team. It pleases us to say that under Bill's leadership Stetson has been enjoying a great football season. Bill has brought further honors upon himself and Chi chapter by being elected Marshall of Phi Alpha Delta, national legal fraternity. Barker has been elected president of the Sophomore class, and Mar· vin Garrison was elected treasurer. · Earl Jinkinson, past archon of Chi, has been elected to fill the office of treasurer of Phi Alpha Delta, legal fraternity, and Grant was named vice . president of the same fraternity. Carl Johnson acts as trainer for Stetson's football team, is also assistant basketball coach, and is captain of the baseball team. Bridges is filling the high office of chancellor of Sigma Nu Phi, national legal fraternity. We are very proud of the fact that Charles Booth has been elected to one of the highest honors of the campus, that of being president of the Stetson Student Body. Men from Chi chapter have

"Try to Push Us Off' Is Challenge of Omega

By HENRY THOEMING

REVIEWING Omega's activities for the past months gives evidence that she is again out

to rate the top rank. In starting off thi s semester all hut one active returned. Officers for this semester are: Lawrence Condrey, archon; Robert Bainbridge, treasurer; George Fortune, secretary; Henry Thoem­ing, historian ; Walter Fassnacht, chaplain ; Oscar Miller, warden. Rushing resulted in the pledging of: W. R. Lyman of Dowagiac, Michigan; W. E. Orr of El Paso, Texas; F. N. Garn of Sou th Bend, Indiana; R. F. Porter of Chicago, Illinois; P. N. Mann of Fort Wayne, Indiana; W. D. Truesdale of Winnetka, Illinois; J. Markley of W. Lafayette, In­diana; W. C. Helt, of North Olmstead, Ohio.

After a series of hard fought games in the inter­fratern ity baseball tournament we reached the fin a Is. Despite J erry Fassnacht's air- tight pitching we lost the final contest. Jerry twirls a mean ball, and we're hoping to get the cup next season ; for he' ll be back.

Art Donovan's Old Gold and Black Aces playing dreamy music; and decorations of white diamonds along with rhiny cap programs, carrying out the pledge theme, made our pledge dance of October 17th one of the outstanding dances of the season.

Omega's homecoming was well begun with the Varsity's 7-6 victory over Wisconsin. Some seventy lllen gathered in the dining room for the banquet that evening to bear several speeches and the presen­tation of a handsomely-made bronze plaque of the fraternity crest to Vernon G. Pease as the outstand­ing freshman of last year. This plaque was given to the house to be awarded every homecoming to Lhe man who was outstanding in scholarship , coop­era tive ability, and activities during his freshman Year in the house.

Dad's Day Banquet was held in honor of the men who are responsible for our presence in college. All the dads were introdu ced at the banquet. Every clad was pleased with Omega chapter and the house. Dad Gollmar and Dad Bainbridge presented the house with an annunciator system for the dining room. The waiters will he exceptionally busy until the novelty has worn off.

Larry Condrey is active in the band as its drum-

major. Purdue's Military Band has been named "The Greatest College Band," and we are sure that Larry helps in earning that title. Condrey's goose­stepping would make Hindenburg green with envy. " Jeff" Gilbert and " Dick" Gollmar are the other house members of the band.

"P ete" Sherwood and "Art" Bostater , our Pi Kapp scholars, are diligently studying to hold their place.

Clarence Field, " Jeff" Gilbert, Jim Beggs, and Frank Nicklas are wearing Scabbards and Blade cu tlasses. The three Seniors look anything hut dignifi ed wearing their wooden swords. Condrey is Omega's active Scabbard and Blade man. We trust him to give the pledges a hot reception.

The boys from Chicago are planning another dinner during the Christmas holidays. Last year's affair must have been keen to inspire another.

Jim Beggs won't he able to break any tapes in Cross Country this year due to an injury to his foot.

Charlie Myers is following up his "Ag" activi­ties this semester. He was a national delega te to Washington, D. C., last June representing Purdue in 4H club work.

Pledges Billie Orr and "Abe" Lyman are working every night to get their freshman football sweaters.

Fred Edwards' doll houses turned out to he play­shop stage models which he had been designing.

George Fortune is organizations editor of the Debris, Purdue's annual. Veri Hiatt is sa les man­ager of the same publication as well as a staff mem­ber of the Purdue Engineer, the engineering schools' monthly.

Eighteen of our fellows attended the Purdue­Illini game, and were guests of the Upsilon Chapter. From all reports, it seems that everyone had a good time. The hospi tality of the fellows at Upsilon Chapter exemplified the true Pi Kapp spirit.

Now that Omega has attained the King of the Hill position in the efficiency con test, try to push us off.

Alpha Alpha Chapter Wins Scholarship Cup

By B. C. TEASLEY, JR.

D ESPITE the fact th~t nine members of Alpha Alpha Chapter failed to return to Mercer

this Fall, the prospects for a successful year are very bright. Nine brothers returned to school in September and our Chapter roll has been increased by the transfer of brother Raymond Cole, Eta, and the initiation of Brothers Everett Cox, Canton, Ga., Embry Connell, Macon, and Frank Evans, Milledge­ville, Ga.

At present there are six men wearing the gold

[ 37]

and white diamond. They are: Jack Van Zandt, Calhoun, Ga.; Charlie Jordan, Macon; Searcy Gar­rison, Ochelochnee, Ga.; Jimmie Smith, Greenville, Ga.; Jack Adams, .Macon and George McElvy, Whigham, Ga.

The officers of the Chapter are: Philip Etheridge, archon; Houser Gilbert, treasurer; Clarence Askew, secretary; Columbus Teasley, historian; John Barnes, chaplain, and John Cash, warden.

Alpha Alpha won the Inter-fraternity scholarship cup for last year and it will soon be presented to the Chapter by the Pan-Hellenic Council.

On the thirty-first of October in the Gold Room of the Dempsey Hotel, the Chapter held its annual banquet in honor of its pledges. Forty-one guests were present. Everybody had a great time, we hope, and the banquet was acclaimed as the best one in a number of years.

A number of campus honors are held by members of Alpha Alpha. Phil Etheridge is president of the Pan-Hellenic Council, president of the Senior Law Class, president of Phi Alpha Delta, vice president of the Blue Key Fraternity, and president of the Presidents' Club. He is also defense attorney on the Student Tribunal. Harden is judge of the Student Tribunal, president of the John Marshall Law Club, vice-president of the President's Club and a mem­ber of both Blue Key and Phi Alpha Delta. Askew is president of the Ciceronian Literary, president of Kappa Phi Kappa and vice-president of the Senior Class. Cox is president of the Sophomore Class. The Chapter has five men on the Glee Club: Free­man, Cole, Evans, Smith and Garrison. Pledge Van Zandt is on the freshman football squad, which by the way, has played through the season thus far without having been scored on. "They have won every game. The chapter is represented on the two · student publications and has men in almost every branch of student activities.

Executive Secretary is of Bad Repute at A lpha Beta

By CHARLES RICHARDS

T HINGS look bad for the Executive Secretary down this way. I advise him not to show up in

New Orleans for quite a while. The boys are all "het up" over being placed last in the list of thirty­eight chapters, and also would remind H. D. L. that making Phi Chi is considered an honor in this neck of the woods. (Is everywhere-H. D. L.)

Incidentally, eight of our Phi Chi's are graduat­ing this year and leaving us heretics, or non-medics, to see what we can do with the fraternity. Which reminds us that we should give account of ourselves; here it is:

THE STAR AND LAMP

The opening of school found a small, but active, group of Pi Kapps ready for the battle of rush week. Walsdorf again played the part of Oracle, SphinX and Dynamo, being perhaps the most active one in the bunch, despite the fact that he has been an alumnus for quite a few years. Other alumni aided us a great deal and attended the banquets, dances, and functions in general. The result was fourteen first-class pledges who are not letting the dust settle on them.

As a further duster, or perhaps, I should have said feather duster, the Chapter is offering a jeweled badge to the freshman making the highest grades. Those whom this medium fails to impress will be introduced to a stack of paddles.

Leon Page, our youngest pledge, has a Waco plane out at the S. A. T. field and will soon have completed the necessary number of hours to obtain a transport license. However, he will still have quite a long wait on account of the age limit set by the government.

He, Addison and Richards made a trip to Shreve· port in the plane about two weeks ago. Had a bit of tough luck going up, but made the three hun· dred-odd miles coming back in three hours and a half.

The pledges gave a dance on November eighth. It was quite a success. Several Alumni and a num· her of Pi Kapps from Auburn were there. It was our first dance since rush week.

Inter-fraternity basketball was put under way at Tulane during the past week, and we drew the Beta's as our first assignment. Under the supervision of Griff Jones we hope to make a good showing, and he has promised results if the men will only come out for practice.

Successful Rushing Season Enjoyed by Oklahoma Me11

By FRANK EWING

T HIRTY Alpha Gamma Pi Kapps and pledges found lots of piquant spirit awaiting them when

they returned to the Soonerland campus last fall· With a magnificent new fraternity home ready to be occupied and a satisfactory number of old men back, the chapter's success for the year on the Okla· homa University campus seemed assured.

After the house preliminaries were over, the initial activities of the year began with a well-ap· pointed rush banquet September 17, in the HuckinS Hotel at Oklahoma City, where approximately 150 alumni, pledges and guests were entertained.

Rushing activities rewarded the chapter with the pledging of 12 men.

OF PI KAPPA PHI

Those who were pledged include: Wayne Burkhart, Lubbock, Tex., graduate student

in geology, who received his bachelor's degree in geology at Texas Technological College last year; Joe Hughes, arts and sciences freshman, Sapulpa, who had a major role in the first University Play­house dramatic production this fall.

Roy Pearce, engineering freshman, El Reno, a good prospect for varsity baseball; Carl Green, Chickasha, arts and sciences freshman, and member of the regular university band unit; Jimmy Walker, Norman, arts and sciences freshman; Walter Tuttle, Lawton, arts and sciences freshman, a lad who knows his musical notes; Jess Morley, Hastings, arts and sciences sophomore; Donald Smith, Fairview, sophomore in the pharmacy school; Billy Griffith, Oklahoma City, petroleum engineering junior, and a second lieutenant in the R. 0. T. C.; Tommy Fair, Oklahoma City, business junior, second lieutenant in the R. 0. T. C. and recipient of a $5,000 scholar­ship from an unknown benefactor of Oklahoma City who selected him as the most deserving Okla­homa City student.

Coy Cornelison, Erick, freshman arts and sciences student, brother of the well-known Pi Kapp group of Cornelison ath letes, and member of the freshman grid squad; and John Cole, Porum, arts and sciences sophomore .

Our reputation of having more members than any other fraternity on the varsity baseball team last spring will be lessened somewhat through the loss by graduation of Brother Bitsy Cook, who was last year's captain, and because of the ineligibility of Brother Bus Wall, who has served his term of three years competition on the varsity nine. How­ever, two of the ball hurling quartet will remain on the team, Brother Ray Watson, catcher, and Brother Carl Hogge, third baseman, who were members of the 1930 team. Cook was short-stop and Wall was left fielder.

The first formal social function of the chapter for the current year was the house dance given Homecoming evening on October 25. The dance was the first to be held in the new house and was un­u ually successful. Many alumni members attended. The dance climaxed a pleasant day of homecoming festivities. The next formal dance will be held in the chapter house on the evening of December 6.

Hobart; Donald Diltz, Chickasha; Tom Losey, Chickasha; and Chester Emmitt, Oklahoma City.

National professional and honorary fraternities and organizations are well represented in the chap­ter. The list gives Phi Beta Kappa, national honor­ary scholastic fraternity, one; Phi Delta Chi, national legal fraternity, one; Sigma Delta Chi national ~rofe~sional journalistic fraternity, five; Kappa Ps1, natwnal pharmaceutical fraternity, one; Scabbard and Blade, national military order, one; Alpha Chi Sigma, national chemistry fraternity, two; Tau Beta Pi, national engineering fraternity, one; Phi Sigma, national biological fraternity, one· Pi Mu Epsilon, national mathematics fraternity: one, and Alpha Delta Sigma, national radio fra­ternity, one.

Besides having a well-rounded membership in national Greek letter organizations, the chapter has a corre.sponding representation in local honorary, professwnal, and activity organizations.

The chapter is represented on the University glee club by Brother Ralph White, tenor, and Brother Tom Losey, baritone. Both were members of the winning Missouri Valley club last year, which en­titled the gleemen to a trip to New York for national competition. White was a member of the 1929-30 University Men's quartet.

New officers for the semester are Ralph Gilchrist, archon; Claude Eurton, treasurer; Ralph Johnston, secretary; Frank Ewing, historian; Ross Hume chaplain ; and Ralph White, warden. '

As a whole, the chapter is experiencing a well­bal.anced year .in all phases of its campus activity. It 1s well on 1ts way toward the completion of a record period of progress.

Alpha Delta May Claim A Well-Rounded Chapter

By WALTER SHAW

M EMBERS of Alpha Delta placed high in many fields of activity at Washington this last

Spring. There were fo~r Pi Kapps in the Washing­ton shells that rowed m the Poughkeepsie Regatta on the Hudson: Don Morris, varsity; Swanson and Poot, junior varsity; and Carl Etzkorn, frosh.

For the first time in Alpha Delta's history one of our members was elected captain of a major sport. Talbot Hartley, ~·0 man, is to lead Washington's trac~ squad for 0Js year, and Washington has been turmng out nothmg less than stars of late. See any paper.

The fraternity was host to a large number of dads on October 11, when the annua l University's Dad's Day was held.

Initiation ceremonies were held November 2 for four hold-over pledges, at the conclusion of which the diamond badge was placed on Merle Watkins,

is out here to show his wares, and it looks as if real football will be seen on Washington's campus this season. Pat Schlicting is a sure cinch for first string basketball this year, as is Ernie Pugh on the golf team.

In the fi eld of politics we got into the limelight in a big way when " Honest John" Harmon Shay ran for Junior Representative on the Board of Con­trol, and made it. Jack Freeman has been appointed editor of the Washington Law Review. "Vic" Scheffer was initiated into Sigma Xi. " Doug" Wil­lix, after a highly successful term as editor-in-chief of the University of Washington Daily, stepped up to take the full time job of secretary to the president of the universi ty. With a studen t body of over eight thousand you have to be somebody to connect the way our fellows have done this year.

George Allen Odgers, Nu '16, who has been teach­ing in Hawaii for the past year, attended summer school at Washington. Russ Fraser, who has been associated with Odgers in Hawaii, passed through on his way east, where he will teach and attend Columbia ' University. Chuck P orter returned from Columbia, but left again for the Atlantic seaboard to be a big oil man in Philadelphia. Bill Wood arrived back from his year's sojourning in France and England.

We were also represented in Europe this year by Doug MacFarlane, who has been seeing France, Italy, Germany and England, with stops in between; and by Walt Poot, who decided to see the world through the proverbial port hole after the crew races and has been traveling between New York and Bremen all summer.

Our new domicile, which is mentioned and pic­tured elsewhere in thi s number, was obtained mainly through the untiring work of Brother Don MacKen­zie, president of the Alumni Association. Alpha Delta certainly will be indebted to him always.

The new officers elected to take office for the fall are: J ack Freeman, archon; Homer MacFarlane, treasurer; Douglas MacFarlane, secretary; Jerr y Larson, hi storian ; George Ruby, chaplain ; and Bill Krause, warden.

Auburn Men Take Pride in their New Pledges

By MIKE SWINT ALPHA IOTA started the 1930-31 term minus ft severa l of the brothers of last session. Jack Trost entered the University of Alabama; Baskin is working in the home town bank, Selma, Alabama; Rose and Faulk are living in Troy, Alabama; Jack­son is working with the Highway Department located

THE STAR AND LAMP

at Jessup, Georgia ; and Speedy Smith is living at Powderly, Alabama.

The following pledges were obtained: Ezra Bat­son, Sylacauga, Alabama, who was valedictorian of the class of 1930 and who has a position as trom­bone player in the A.P.I. band; Reuben Cumbee, Stroud, Alabama, the third of the Cumbee's to come to us, an active athlete in High School, and who in­tends to join the freshmen in a try-out for the basket­ball team ; Clarence Johnson, West Point, Georgia, who got his prep-schooling at Gordon Military Academy, and from the amount of work he is doing this semester, looks as though he will be the winner of the jewel pin offered to the pledge making the best record scholastically; Joe Fuller, Marion J unc­tion , Alabama, somewhat small in sta ture but what is minus in size is evidently converted into brains; Lynwoode Poole, Montgomery, Alabama, consid­ered as the wit of the pledges; Fred Stephens, Louis­ville, Alabama, who was president of his class the last year of high school; and Charles Adams, Alex City, Alabama, who holds a position on the circu­lation staff of The Plainsmen, the college newspaper.

November 1 was homecoming for the alumni of A. P. 1. , and the date of quite a few happenings on the campus. A dance put an end to the festivities of the day.

Brother and Mrs. J. Chandler Burton paid their first visit of the year to us. Brother Burton is our Distri ct Archon, and we hope that he found things operating as they should. " Red" Russell drove in from Tennessee; and Moore, Hixon and Roberts, all of the same graduation class, were once more together.

At a recent football game between A. P. I. and Georgia Tech, the Iota and Eta chapters were hosts to Alpha Iota. As a member of the party, I can say that the entire group had a great time.

Wednesday night, October 22, was the date of initiation of Will King and LeRoy Cummings.

An Enthusiastic Invitation Comes from Alpha Kappa

By CLYDE JONES

WE come to something which is of the greatest interest to every Pi Kapp in the United States.

We all know th at next year the convention is to be held in Detroit during the summer vaca tion. We believe the selection is an extremely wise one. North is certainly the direction to travel during the sum­mer months, and Detroit is the most logical place at which to stop while in the North.

Michigan itself affords one of the most enticing

vacation spots in the country. There are innumer­able beautifu 1 lakes where fi shing and bathing can he readily enjoyed. We have touri sts from all over the United States here every summer. Probably many of you have spent the summer here in Michi­gan and know of some spot where you wou ld like to have your family spend a week or two. See if you can't persuade the whole family that Michigan is the place for your next summer vacation.

Whi le you are in Michigan on your vacation, Detroit will be your headquarters. Detroit is bid­ding for conventions. The hotels are unitedly doing their utmost to make Detroit America's convention city. This means that hotel accommodations in De­troit are easy to obtain, the rates are low and the personnel well equipped to point out the interesting things about Detroit and make your stay generally enjoyable.

Detroit is a beautiful city. The streets are well kept and shaded with trees to such an extent tha t one looking at Detroit from the tower of a large building can see little else, except where buildings rise above the foliage. Detroit is on the Detroit River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. Opportunities for boat rides and moonlight excur­sions are plentiful there. Lake breezes, moon light dancing on the ripples and music that enslaves your feet helps some.

And in your more serious moments, what an oppor tunity to study American industry it is ! Huge factori es and mass produ ction methods that et the standard for all industry are here for you

to inspect and ponder over. You can marvel at the clock-like precision of the produ ction lines as you Watch iron and steel grow into an automobile and ro ll off the line under its own power.

And then when the strain of trying to crowd so much into a few days has you down a bit, retire for a pell from the hurry of busy America, visit Can­ada. It takes but a few minutes to reach Windsor via the new Ambassador bridge. Truly wonderful neighbor , these Canadians.

The chapter house at Ann Arbor, thirty miles from Detroit, will be open to you at all times and We expect to see all of you during the convention.

Alpha Mu Faces Year Optimistically in New House

By MICHAEL BIGGER

I N Septe~ber we came back to this house with six­teen active men and two pledges, Dick Peterson

of Warren and Fred Ruth of Robisonia. In May "Speed" Moyer of Tamaqua was initiated. Speed has lived up to his name and last spring won his numerals in lacrosse.

As the result of the fall rushing we have pledged twelve men. They are: "Pete" Kershner and "Bud" Miller of Tamaque; "Bus" Cornog and "Buck" Roberts of Lansdowne; Oscar Stevens of Everett; Howard Colt, "Bob" Sandhlade, Ernest Miller, Ed­win Bradford of Warren; Frank Bierer of Pitts­burgh, Alwyn Sweeney of Punxsutawney, and Jack Farquhar of Belleville.

Regarding the activities of the men: "Speed" Moyer and Glen Stoudt are out for fall lacrosse practice. Harry Rodgers is still production man­ager of the Thespian Club and working as hard as ever. Bud Bildstein is one of his assistants and hopes to replace Harry when he leaves. Harlan West is a member of the Glee Club and anticipates several good trips with them this year. Joe Miller is a mem­ber of the stock judging team of the college and has won several medals. Joe will soon leave on a trip to Toronto and Chicago. He is a member of Lambda Gamma Delta, honorary agriculture judging fra­ternity. He is also president of the Pre-Vet. Club. "Pete" Kershner, a freshman pledge, is going strong as a pole vau lter, having tied for first place in the freshman track meet. "Buck" Roberts and Oscar Stevens are out for the business board of the Froth, the college comic magazine. "Bus" Cornog is an­other track man, sprinter and quarter miler, who won several places in the track meet. "Bob" Keiffer is a member of the Senior ball committee. "Bob" also served on the Junior prom committee.

The house has played one football game in the interfraternity contest, losing to the Phi Sigma Kappas, 7-0. "Dick" Peterson was the outstanding player, but the whole team performed well. Our chances of winning the consolation cup, a cup to be contested by the losers, are very good.

On November 7 and 8 the big social event of the season was held; namely, the fall house party. Nearly all of the house took in this affair, and with an excellent hand, a big crowd and many alumni back, it was a big success. At the same time our pleasure was greatly increased by the visit of "Doc" Leake, executive secretary. His visit means a strengthening of the ties that bind the chapter to the central organization and he gave the officers and

THE STAR AND LAMP (

the chapter some good advice. Though his visit was short he accomplished a great deal, and his visit will always be remembered with a great deal of pleasure by the chapter.

The chapter is now under the guidance of the following officers: archon, "Bob" Keiffer; treasurer, Harlan West; secretary, Donald Kirkland; histo­rian, Michael M. Bigger; chaplain, Horace Epler; warden, H. James Moyer.

Many Alpha Nu's Succumb to Cupid and Marriage Altar

By AL YIN H. FRYE

FRESHMAN WEEK opened with most of the men from Alpha Nu back and raring to go. Crossley,

after returning a week earlier and cleaning the house with the help of Dan Ursu, was called home due to an operation on his father, and is not now in school. He will, however, be with us again in the winter quarter. Johnny Grissinger will also be here next quarter, after having been absent during the fall. We have with us Herb Boring, who was a member of Xi chapter at Roanoke.

The fall quarter initiation saw four new brothers admitted into Pi Kappa Phi. Dan Ursu, Corwin Hablitzel, Owen Howard and Kenneth Haley are these newest members. At present Alpha Nu has six pledges and with the staging of a big rushing party in the near future expects to add at least half a dozen more to the ranks.

OF PI KAPPA PHI

Despite the fact that Alpha Nu went from second to twelfth in the fraternity scholastic rating their point average went up a tenth of a point. The aver­ages this year were as a whole much higher than last, which shows that fraternity men aren't in school tnerely for the good time they can derive from it.

We have also added two new members to our faculty list. Marcy Powell, who graduated last .Pring, is now teaching in the French department and is at the same time working on his Master's degree. Professor Chadwick of the horticulture de­Partment will be initiated in the winter quarter. We now have four members in the faculty. John Corley of last year's graduating class received a scholarship from the University and is now doing work on his Master's degree here.

November 1 was a big day here, for on that day We saw a large group of alumni back for Home­coming, our football team tied Wisconsin, the alumni held their yearly meeting, and then we all ioined together and had a big time at our annual liomecoming dance. We also staged a dance the Week-end of the Michigan game.

Athletically we have been doing great things so far. Two wins out of two games played is the standing of our indoor baseball team, and the Class "A" bowlers have achieved the same standing. The "B" team has come out ahead in their first game. l'he only thing we have lost in is miniature golf, hut that was just a small matter to us. Fuchs and l<.iinzler are out for berths on the var ity fencing team and will no doubt end up the year with that goa l reached. Kenny Haley is still riding the ponies and before he ends his college career he will be the "liitchcock" of the Ohio team.

Dan Cupid has sure had a great influence in the Alpha Nu gang during the past months. Since our last communication to this publication, five men have listened to his pleadings and are now married. Fred Rector, our archon, and Mis Patricia Johnston of Pittsburgh were married this summer in the same church in Columbus in which Don Rader and his Wife took their vows. Walter Insley, one of our 1930 graduates was married to Miss Gwendolyn Beall. Walt is n~w in Detroit, where he is employed by the Atlantic and Pacific Company. Harry Lippus and Miss Harriet Bentley announced their marriage after three months of secrecy concerning it. They are now living in a cottage at Rye Beach, Ohio. And just recently we have been informed of the marriages of Pete McCaughey and Bob Edwards.

Two Chapter Cups and College Cup Are Awards at Alpha Xi By FRED BOETTE

T HE first year of actual competition for the Derby Cup, emblematic of fraternity scholastic

supremacy, resulted in a victory for the Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, according to an announce­ment made by the chairman of the Faculty Com­mittee on Student Affairs.

We are not satisfied with a better scholarship than our contemporaries, so in an effort to further stim­ulate cholarship we have two chapter scholarship cups that are awarded each year. The first of these is competed for by the freshmen in the chapter, and the second by the upper classmen.

These cups are awarded not only on the ba is of scholarship but on the nearest approach to the ideal Pi Kapp, which includes extra-curricular activitie , fraternity work and social consciousness. The fresh­man cup was won this past year by Brother Alfred Tyrrill, and the upper classmen's cup by Brother Louis . Rowley, Jr.

On Monday evening, November 3, 1930, there was unveiled and dedicated the memorial to those mem­bers of the old local fraternity of Psi Sigma who died before its nationalization as the Alpha Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The memorial is a bronze tablet designed and executed by the J. & R. Lamb Studios. At the top in high relief appears the coat of arms of Psi Sigma between the Greek initials of its name, and beneath the inscription "Brothers in Psi Sigma who have been called to the Chapter Eternal" is a list of thirteen deceased brothers with their classes and the dates of their deaths. The tab­let is affixed to the wall of the chapter room imme­diately over the mantel-shelf.

The social season of Alpha Xi was officially opened on October 13 with the pledge dance, where everyone present enjoyed themselves in real Pi Kapp fashion. The season was given even greater momentum by the successful formal dinner-dance held at the chapter house on ovember l. This dinner-dance was the result of co-operation of the lunch club and the social committee. We were honored with the presence of our Executive Secre­tary, Leake, and with our usual large alumni attend­ance.

Alpha Xi is very proud of her position in extra­curricular activities, a condition that is a result of campus prestige and fraternity policy. We have in the chapter this year the editor-in-chief of the col­lege weekly, who is past editor-in-chief of the year book, and who was recently elected to the honorary

[ 43}

fraternity of Delta Kappa Pi; two feature editors of the college weekly; the cast director of the dra­matic society, make-up manager and assistant; the president of the Polychem Society, a local chemical society founded by the present president; the presi­dent, trea urer and chairman of the social committee of the A.S.M.E. ; the chairman and another member of the senior class Pin and Ring committee; a senior class representative on the Student Council; the chairman of the sophomore class social committee.

The above list of extra-curricula workers repre­sent about 50 per cent of the positions held by fraternity men, which is a record of which we are justly proud.

Alpha Omicron Purchases Lots for The Future Home

I NTENSIVE rushing at Iowa State, which began September 17 and ended September 30, resulted

in the acquisition of five future Pi Kapps. However, the season's rushing campaign is by no means over, and many prospective pledges are being entertained each week. The result of such post-rush week work has been four more men.

The first step in the direction of Alpha Omicron's future home was made a short time ago when two lots were purchased for building purposes. The chosen location is excellent in view of the fact that it is in the heart of the Iowa State fraternity-sorority district and within easy access of the campus. No plans have been made for building, but it is an tici­pated that the building fund will permit a new house within the next four years.

The social activities schedule for the fall quarter was opened by a Fireside at the chapter house Octo­ber 10. The Homecoming dance held November 1 at Hotel Sheldon-Munn was attended by some fifty couples. Arrangements are now being completed for the Winter Formal, which will be held February 28.

The personnel of Alpha Omicron thi s quarter is compo ed of thirteen members and fifteen pledges. The men who were pledged this fall are: Robert Batchler, Council Bluffs; Harold Dewell, Clarence; Stuart Dingman, Cedar Rapids; Harold Grantham, Lake City; Emmit Klindt, Mediapolis; 1 ohn Linder, Counci l Bluffs; Oliver Marsh, Peru, Nebr. ; Pau 1 Mu ller, Council Bluffs, and Earl Robertson, Mar­quette, Mich.

Alpha Rho Specializes in Military Honors

By FRED STEW ART

W ITH the opening of school on September 10, Alpha Rho was back at the old stand at 65

High with seventeen members. During rushing sea· son we pledged the following men: Paul S. Moyers, Charles Young, Robert L. Harper, 1 ohn Bradley, Ralph Izard, Richard Siers, Paul Thompson, Li~· wood Young, Maurice White, Benja111in Leo W1l· Iiams. These boys are all from West Virginia.

Officer for the first semester are: Lawrence Oneacre, archon ; Charles Hall, secretary; Charlie Hill, treasurer; Fred Stewart, historian ; Ellis Brad· ley, warden, and Fred Fisher, chaplain. John Adkins is prep-master; Edward Higgs is steward, and Ed· ward Rodgers is house manager.

In campus activities we are taking a rather prorn· inent part. Rodgers is on the Cadet Hop committee, Marques is president of the Spanish Club, Adkins is secretary of Scabbard and Blade, Stewart is secre· tary of A.I.E.E. and vice-president of General Engi· neering Society. In the military department we have two captains, one of whom is the regimental ad· jutant; one first lieutenant and one second lieu ten· ant, and one sergeant, who is regimental sergeant· major. There are also several of the fellows in the ranks.

Adkins, Rodgers, Higgs, Marques and Stewart attended the Mountain State Forest Festival at Elkins, W. Va., on October . 30, as escorts of prin· cesses and sponsors and also as an escort of the Governor. In honorary societies, we are doing rather well. Higgs and Stewart are pledged to Scabbard and Blade. This makes a total of four members. Brother Stewart was also pledged to Red Dragon Casteliers, an organization of military engi· neers. Hill is pledged to Alpha Zeta. Stewart is pledged to Tau Beta Pi, which makes him a wearer of three pledge pins at one time.

Fisher and Pledge White are out for varsity box· ing. Hill, captain of track, has not yet reported for practice. He is holder of state records in the discus, 35-lb. weight throw, hammer, and has been high point man on the squad for three years. Martin is an instructor in Military.

The Chapter gave an informal party Saturday, November 1, which was a distinct success.

We are in the midst of intramural activity. Our handball team hopes to win the league and perhaps the championship. We have men entered in cross· country also. Basketball will soon follow and, with some new men, we hope to have a strong team.
