Purpose

THE declared purpose of this code is to effectuate a policy of efficient opera­tion during the period of national emergency, and to secure by this means a

more equitable distribution of work and wealth.

DeRnition The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity affirms that it imposes no inequitable restrictions

on its membership. Every member is entitled to an equal opportunity to work for the fraternity.

The term "member" as used herein includes every person enjoying member­ship in the fraternity whether active or alumnus.

The Code SECTION 1. Ho11rs of Work. A member shall have the right to work for the fraternity without limit. Maximum hours of labor are abolished. SECTION 2. Equitable Distribution of Work. In all common fraternity enterprises each member will contribute his proportionate share of time and effort, so that no other brother will be required to make good his deficiency by contributing extra time and effort. SECTION 3. Wages. An increased amount of satisfaction will be obtained by each member in proportion to the work done for the fraternity. SECTION 4. Equitable Distribution of Wealth. In all fraternity financial obligations each member will pay his proportionate share when due, so that the fraternity and the merchant will receive the sums to which they are entitled in a timely manner. SECTION 5. Elimination of W a.rte. In all fraternity activities reasonable economy should be practiced and savings effected. No member shall through carelessness create unnecessary labor for others. SECTION 6. National Recovery. Observance of this code by securing an equitable distribu­tion of work and wealth and eliminating waste will be contributing to the common good and the national recovery. SECTION 7. Administration. Any member may participate in this code and in any revision or additions thereto by signifying his intention to do so to the Supreme Archon.

And I believe that if our chapters had any in­different members, if we had any drones for chapter officers in former years, the refining fire of adversity should by now have burned them out or made real Pi Kapps of them, and this school year should see harder working, more serious officers, better coopera­tion and greater efficiency than we have ever known before.

These things I believe of you collectively because I believe them of the ones of you I know individually. I have known nothing finer than the idealism, the en­thusiasm and the loyalty of the undergraduate mem­bers of Pi Kappa Phi for Pi Kappa Phi.

An Address Delivered by Alvan E. Duerr, President of the National In­terfraternity Conference Before the National Association of Deans and Advisers of Men last April.

The fraternity was born of an instinctive realization that intimate contacts are valuable in the development of character. For over a century our fraternities, in carrying out this idea, have performed a supplementary function of education which has become increasingly difficult for institutions growing by leaps and bounds. But education's recent swing away from mass produc­tion and back to the consideration of the individual indicates that during all these years the fraternity was very near to the essence of the educational problem. And fraternities, organized originally because of this undefined realization, have gradually become more aware of the inseparability of social and mental de­velopment, just as the college is doing from the op­posite angle; and consequently fraternities are be­coming more and more responsive to administrative objectives and to their own group-responsibility for the solution of educational problems. What they have done during recent years in creating a better attitude toward scholarship is their outstanding contribution; but does not their success in this important field sug­gest potential influence in any phase of undergraduate life which presents problems that will yield only to cooperation of a high order? And would this not sug­gest also the wisdom of just as responsive an attitude on the part of the college, and of a more deliberate use of the fraternity by the college as an effective ally in any plan affecting the interests of the undergrad­uate? Isn't there an opportunity here to strengthen the work of the college immeasurably by converting the passive recipient into an active participant in the edu­cational process? For we know that it is ,impossible to educate anyone; all that we can do is to give the stu­dent an opportunity to educate himself.

Let me cite a few examples of the kind of coopera­tion that I have in mind. (a) The objective of a col­lege education has often been described in these meetings as preparing a student for useful citizenship. And here we have in our fraternity chapters the near­est approach that college offers to self-governing groups with social relations and responsibilities of a complicated nature. It is hardly necessary to stress the opportunity that is presented here to drive home the

5

lesson of useful citizenship which college administra­tors are so anxious to inculcate, and the learning of which will determine so largely the usefulness of the individual in the world at large. (b) Many of you make good use of the solidarity of your undergraduate fraternity groups when you require an informed public opinion and concerted action on any question; but it has not occurred to more than one or two colleges to extend this attitude to the alumni, and, incidentally, at the same time to leaven undergraduate opinion by this means. It is not an accident that an unusual proportion of the active alumni of your institutions are fraternity men, for a process of selection and of social develop­ment as well as a continuity of interest and responsi­bility through their chapter has served to crystallize their allegiance to their alma mater. Fraternity men are the only alumni whose influence persists automati­cally after they leave college. It would seem possible to utilize this influence to good purpose. (c) Youth is today as idealistic as it has ever been, and infinitely more wholesome and honest. Its intemperances and irregularities are due to a large extent to the poor train­ing and perspective which it has received from us. The college has not succeeded in arriving at a really satisfactory solution of the problems of personal con­duct; nor has the fraternity; if they were to join hands in the spirit, not of discipline, but of construc­tive helpfulness, there can be little question of the final result. (d) And finally, if education is best achieved by bringing the immature mind into inti­mate contact with a well-balanced and well-informed maturity, what a revolutionary effect on the educational process would result from placing in the chapter houses of the country the most inspired teachers that the col­lege could command! Not the usual type of callow Doctor in Spe who attempts to prove that he is a good fellow by talking down to the undergraduate, but the sort that loves men even more than learning, whose richness of spirit and understanding would uncon­sciously attract eager minds to achieve similar strength. Few men are so great that they might not feel that they had rendered a signal service to society if during their leisure they inspired thirty young men to higher stand­ards of culture and social living. Moreover, such con­tact would do much to revitalize a profession which threatens to become a lost art.

A man goes to college for an education. Every­thing else is subordinate. And every phase of college life should be judged solely from the angle of whether it serves a broadly useful purpose in the educational scheme. Nicholas Murray Butler has said recently that in his opinion mental efficiency ranks third among the essentials in preparing an individual for a career of social usefulness, and ahead of mental efficiency he places character and the art of being a gentleman. Surely he would subscribe to the belief that the fra­ternity is at least in a position to contribute more to

6

these latter qualities than is the classroom. And, f~r as the chapter house is removed from an achievab e ideal, is it not even so a better laboratory for we development of character and manners than the average dormitory or College Commons?

But if the fraternity is to occupy so importa~t ~ place in the educational scheme, even for the dtreCd benefit of its members, it must have leadership, ~ 1

this leadership must come from within the institut1°0'

else we come inevitably to the conclusion that college administration cannot measure up to its own respo~· sibilities. The National Fraternity can supply admiots· trative guidance of chapter activities, but effective: ordination of undergraduate action directed toward

0 I

solution of a purely local problem must depen? u~ local contact and upon a leadership that is insptred f immediate responsibility for obtaining the desired 1d suits. And so we must develop both the fraternity ~ the college as cooperative partners in the great t ·11

of making well-equipped men of character whO ~~· be ready to become the leaders of the world. we c r· not ask the fraternity to act as a vicarious agent supeii imposing educational functions which the college unwilling or unable to perform. etr

It is fundamental to sound education that what . is done should be done as thoroughly as possible: ~ principle has brought about a gradual inclusion 111 jo organized work of the university-its curriculur!l tJ!' the broad sense of the word-of practically alii r activities of the student body. But so far the co!~~ has made little effort to utilize for broadly educat1•0btl purposes one of its most fertile fields. And yet, e.tt 0~ fraternities have a definite place in the educatl~·ch scheme, and have a contribution to make withoutW

education would not be complete, or they are on ;B. by-pass tluough which otherwise constructive en~e~ escapes. If they have real value, there should be 'ti: cooperation between administration and fraterfllur~ to develop and utilize that value; if they have no ~~ value, the sooner we clear the decks the better. tin! campus is already cluttered with too many emascula K~~L ~

But the college could hardly divide its student til' into groups which would lend themselves better 1\r. development of that finely social attitude which~~~ an individual real worth in society. Neither fa

1je:·

nor Church, nor Y.M.C.A. can command the atte!l . of the undergraduate in any effort of this kind as as can the fraternity. Its foundation stone is membership in it is sought eagerly; and the house is the one place where inarticulate youth not to be ashamed to be spontaneous. But, nately, there is nothing aggressive about the nity's idealism; it lacks purpose and it lacks ship. Why should not the college formulate the pose, and correlate it with its own objectives,

A. Pelzer Wagener, Supreme Chancellor Albert W. Meisel, District Archon William J. Berry, and Execu­tive Secretary Howard D . Leake. Because of the ini­tiation ceremonies performed that afternon there was dual representation in the presence of three of the men from Drexel. Comptroller Wagenseller and Pro­fessors McDonald and Hanson were also brothers in Pi Kappa Phi.

Under the able direction of Brother McDonald, who acted as toastmaster, the speeches, talks, and addresses followed one another in smooth combination bringing all the attractions of inspiration, instruction, sincere welcome and jubilation. In the order of procedure the "home team" came to bat .first and was followed by the "visitors side." There were heavy hitters in both line-ups and the results were very enjoyable. Outstand­ing were the inspiring welcomes of President Kolbe and Dean Wagenseller; the congenial yet forceful warnings and counsels from Supreme Chancellor Meisel, District Archon Berry, and Executive Secre­tary Leake; the friendly congratulation by Dr. Potts; and the scholarly address by the Supreme Archon.

There were enthusiastic and heartfelt expressions from Robert J. Riddle, retiring president of the active chapter of Kappa Sigma Delta; Wilson D. Applegate, archon of Alpha Upsilon, the new chapter; Robert E. Oberholtzer, chairman of the Alumni Control Board of

Kappa Sigma Delta; and Lewis E. Shemery, of Alpha Mu and the Philadelphia Alumni chapters. In several of the speeches, notably those of President Kolbe and District Archon Berry, Oberholtzer and Shemery were commended for their energetic and patient activities which led to the accomplishment of their hopes in the installation ceremonies. The credit is well placed, for it was from the friendship which developed be­tween these two as they worked together in the same business office that Alpha Upsilon chapter came.

The following chapters were represented at the banquet: Philadelphia and New York Alumni, Alpha Mu, Alpha Xi, Psi, Rho, Iota, Alpha Delta, and Al­pha. During the banquet some fifty telegrams of greet­ings from chapters and persons were received and read.

The installation activities began soon after the ar­rival on Friday, May 19, of Chief Installing Officer William J. Berry with the installing team from Alpha Xi. The team was composed of the following brothers: William R. Johnson, George A. Carleton, 3rd, George D. Everett, Walter Thielke, Arthur L. Koenig, Herbert W. Younkman, Hans D. Theurer, Charles M. Aron­sen, Arthur C. Hansen, Jr., and Russell L. Strom. Dr. Elton R. Allison of Alpha Delta and the Philadelphia Alumni chapter acted as Assistant Installing Officer. The pledging ceremony was completed late Friday afternoon, and the other serious work was continued the following morning.

On Friday evening a formal dance and reception was given by Kappa Sigma Delta at the New Aroni­mink country club near Philadelphia. This is one of the newest and smartest country clubs in the Phila­delphia district, with plenty of dancing space both inside and on tiled terraces outside. The fine weather, excellent music, and good spirits of the crowd made everything just right. The dance served to acquaint the visiting Pi Kaps with the men of Kappa Sigma Delta as well as to give all a very good time. The dance was attended by many members of the Drexel fac­ulty, representing national fraternities and sororities, and also by representatives of local fraternities on the campus.

The initiation proper began Saturday morning and continued throughout the day. These ceremonies were held in the Curtis gymnasium and adjoining rooms at Drexel Institute. Brother Hanson was instrumental in obtaining these quarters for the use of the fraternity. He also helped carry out many of the necessary pre­liminary arrangements. Besides being a professor of chemistry Brother Hanson is interested in dramatics and coaches many musical and dramatic productions put on by the students at Drexel. Not the least of these is the annual minstrel show given by Kappa Sigma Delta in the past and which will undoubtedly be con­tinued by Alpha Upsilon. These activities had pro­vided Brother Hanson with valuable knowledge re-

garding the space and accommodations avail~ble :: Drexel and the fraternity was fortunate in havtng .

cooperation in obtaining what was needed. The .to· stallation team performed its duties in a most pleas;o~ and efficient manner in spite of the unusually h

10d

weather which prevailed and the fact that they ~e none too much sleep the night before because of t festivities at the New Aronimink country club. . .

The following men of the active chapter were tO; tiated: Wilson D . Applegate, Harvey W. Bush, Rod. ert W. Deemer, John W. Deimler, James B. HenW00f ~illiam M. Hawkes, Jr., Lemuel J. Holt, ~ane J McBurney, John H. McCann, William H. Miller; J Ralph Mulford, Jr., Homer A. Reichert, Rober

: at ~n February, 1892. In September of the same year Instruction was begun in most of the departments in­~uded in the original organization. East Hall, now

andell Hall, was added in 1902, and includes the art gallery in which is housed the Childs, Lankenau and Drexel collections of fine art.

During the first ten years of the life of the Institute ?lany courses were added to the original curricula to ~ncrease the service of the Institute to the community. D 1913 the movement was begun which resulted in hrexel being placed on a degree granting basis, and ~ e first degrees were conferred in the year 1914. Dur­Ing the ensuing five years Drexel added a number of ~ur~es consistent with the new status of the Institute. t Urtng the period of the World War Drexel devoted ? the service of the country practically all of it facili­hes and in the year 1918 trained many hundreds of students for the requirements of the army and navy ~~rvice. In 1919 the cooperative course was estab­IShed at Drexel in the Engineering College. The co­operative plan was extended to the Business College in 1924. In 1924 the Institute conducted an endowment calllpaign which resulted in increasing the endowment ~ore than $1,000,000. Since 1924 almost $2,000,000

Mackelcan to Be Given Posthumous Initiation

The government bombing plane which crashed into the James River on June 26, carrying to their death all who were in it, took Second Lieutenant H. W. Mackelcan, an active alumnus of Kappa Sigma Delta.

He was an enthusiastic adherent of the or­ganization as an undergraduate in Drexel and played a leading part in the activities which led to the nationalization of Kappa Sigma Delta. Prior to his death he had signified his intention of affiliating with the fraternity in the fall of this year. In recognition of his affection for the fraternity and their admiration of his sterling worth the chapter plans a posthumous initia­tion of Mackelcan during their scheduled ini­tiation ceremony in October.

Macklecan would have completed his year's service with the government on the day fbllow­ing the one in which occurred the accident. He held a commercial transport pilot license and expected to make aviation his life work. He graduated from Drexel in 1931 with an M.E. degree. While in college he rose to be cadet major in the R.O.T.C., was head cheerleader, and a member of the track team, dramatic club, Scabbard and Blade, and Blue Key.

ten years Drexel has steadily broadened its athletic programs with other colleges of its size along the Atlantic seaboard. As a member of the Eastern Penn­sylvania College basketball and baseball leagues, it meets Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Lebanon Valley, Juniata, Ursinus, Albright, Bucknell, and Muhlenberg. Besides the colleges mentioned, Drexel also regularly meets in athletics such colleges as: Brook­lyn Poly, William and Mary, Washington and Lee, Haverford, Swarthmore, Dickinson, Delaware, Tem­ple, Lehigh, Rutgers, Carnegie Tech., Georgetown, Princeton, and Pennsylvania.

In both these sports, as well as in football and in minor sports, Drexel has always made a very accepta­ble record. In 1931, the football team was recognized as eastern champions among the small colleges, and in 1932 lost but one game. In both baseball and bas­ketball Drexel took second place in each conference.

Probably the most interesting development of Drex­el's athletics in recent years is the establishment of a program calling for participation by every student in all compatible forms of athletic events.

Kappa Sigma Delta

Kappa Sigma Delta was the oldest established fra­ternity at Drexel Institute, having been founded in May of the year 1919 by a group of enthusiastic men in the engineering college. These men banded together for the purpose of exerting their united efforts to­wards developing and improving various activities, es­tablishing traditions and promoting scholarship at Drexel. Their efforts were recognized and results were soon forthcoming. These early traditions, established by the charter members, have inspired the chapter each year to attempt new and better things for the benefit of Drexel.

The object of Kappa Sigma Delta as set forth in the constitution was:

1. To foster a loyal and enduring spirit of fellow­ship among the members and the student body of Drexel Institute.

2. To encourage a desire for scholastic achievements. 3. To cherish the ideals and precepts as set forth

in the ritual. In the first object Kappa Sigma Delta was success­

ful in being instrumental in bringing the national so­cieties of Tau Beta Pi, Blue Key and Scabbard and Blade to the Drexel campus. The object of promoting scholarship has been realized by the winning of the Robert S. Hanson Scholarship Cup for the highest fraternity average on the campus. The ideals and pre­cepts as set forth in the ritual of Kappa Sigma Delta have enabled this brotherhood to continually build

Lemuel J. Holt was installed as president of the Men's Student Council. Other members of the chapter on the Council are Wil­liam H. Miller and Pledges Coleman and Schaefer. The chapter became the recipient of the Interfraternity Scholarship Cup for the sec­ond consecutive year. Second honors in scholar­ship came to Robert W. Deemer, and Pledge Milo Schaefer was awarded a scholarship.

and develop a worthy reputation during their four· · teen years of existence.

An established tradition of Drexel Institute is the annual Kappa Sigma Delta minstrel show and dance which is given in the college auditorium and Great Court during the winter term.

"The general public has gone along for years­taking little interest in taxes. Presumably they affected only the owners of real or personal property-so let those owners worry. But the taxes which everyone is now compelled to pay on gasoline, on cosmetics, on telephone calls and telegrams, on letters and checks (just to mention a few items), bri~g home the fact that taxes and their intelligent reduction are very much the concern of every man and woman in every city, county, and state in the United States." 2

"It is estimated that the sum of federal, state and municipal taxes is in excess of $14,000,000,000, a_nd the aggregate income of all the people, out of whtch this sum has to be paid, was somewhere between $40,000,000,000 and $45,000,000,000 in 1932.

"If these figures are correct, then 33 cents out of every dollar of income goes to pay the .cost of g~v­ernment. It does not require an acquatntance wtth higher mathematics to enable anyone. to grasp ~e significance of these figures and the ultimate result 1f the brakes are not applied."8

•

Examples of confiscations, by reason of _the tax b~ll exceeding the possible revenue, are contmuously 1~ evidence which "illustrates how the power to tax lS

the pow~r to destroy; it is the duty of every citizen to curb that power before the country is bankrupt."

a J. B. Berryman, president Crane Company.

"As just taxation is the great protector of the things we cherish, so also, abuse of taxation, as we have it today, is the great destroyer which under­mines every step of progress." 3

"Unjust taxation brought the government of these United States into being," and "unjust taxation ... will destroy it." The moving principles of every up­rising in the history of nations and peoples are tyranny and taxation.4

Commenting on these conditions, a recent speaker stated it is so low a step-ladder would be needed to climb into Hell, and all because decent people haven't cared.

Now, there is evidence that decent people are mak­ing it their business to care. In order to promote dis­criminating economy in local government, fifty-two national organizations have joined for the formation of a Citizen's Council in every municipality and county in the country, including Chambers of Commerce.

"It is inevitable though unfortunate that some of the major problems which are due for consideration to-day receive less consideration than is their due from the older generation. The fact that the older generation will not feel the consequence of some of the happen­ings of today tends to make them indifferent to what is going to happen. The burden which that lays on the tax-payers and rate payers will not fall in its ultimate effect on his generation but on that which is to follow .... "6

Continued support of our faithful legislators for their worthy attempts is needed, and perhaps condem­nation of those nine who went to Washington from last fall's landslide with a mandate to support the "new deal," already christened "The Nerveless Nine." They might have felt excused (if that were neces­sary) in voting for it by the attitude expressed in Sena­tor Fess' (Ohio) letter:

"In times of emergency it is necessary to do things that wouldn't be done in normal times. The national budget must be balanced. Government expenditures must be reduced. This bill gives the president power to do it. My vote will be for it on the ground that it is for the public good."

This same sentiment should carry us all on in our continued efforts. Let me plead that you cooperate to the limit in active support of scattering this shadow of constantly rising taxes. Our Committee would have you realize that these are the days when democracy is on trial, evidenced by experiments in Russia, Italy and Germany. Let us demonstrate that we have not ceased to think for ourselves, especially when we have been perfectly willing to admit that we represent tl1e highest level of intelligence ever attained.

Sch n~luding this year's group a total of forty-six and 0 ars have been chosen during the past seven years rep twenty-five of our forty-two chapters have been tra.rese~ted in these awards. Although no data on ex­co~u.rrtcular activities and honors of Scholars are it i Ptled until after the Scholars have been chosen ings generally found that our Scholars are outstand­are ~tudents in their respective institutions and usually 'lqith eaders in one or more of the student activities theSe out doubt in future years our fraternity will find ers .

the l Committee for the year 1931-1932 shows that 1 Kappa Phi scholarship average was a little

0(;---.;-::------­PI KAPPA PHI

lower than for the preceding year. Our average, how­ever, was still safely above the general average of all the national fraternities considered, and was based on scholarship standings of thirty-two of our chap­ters. Among the twenty-two fraternities having forty or more chapters Pi Kappa Phi ranked fifth in scholar­ship. Four of our chapters, Delta at Furman, Xi at Roanoke, Iota at Georgia Tech, and Alpha Sigma at Tennessee ranked first among all the chapters of na­tional fraternities on their respective campuses. These chapters are to be congratulated on their excellent records which aided very materially in maintaining our national standing. On the other hand three of our ~hapters ranked las.t on their respective campuses and it ts hoped that thetr records for this year will show much improvement.

The local averages of our chapters upon which the national average for 1932 was computed were as fol­lows: Alabama +1, Alabama Polytechnic +3, Brook­lyn Polyt~nic - 1, Davidson + 1, Duke -3, Emory - 5, Flonda +3, Furman + 8, Georgia -1, Georgia Tech +3, Howard -2, Illinois - 3, Iowa State + 2, Mercer + 3, Michigan + 3, Michigan State - 1 Miss-. . . ' tsstppt + 5, Nebraska -2, North Carolina - 3, North Carolina State + 2, Ohio State + 3, Oklahoma -6, Oregon State +2, Penn State -5, Presbyterian Col­lege -3, Purdue + 1, South Carolina -1, Tennessee + 3, Washington + 1, Washington and Lee + 3, West Virginia -1, Wofford - 1.

Following are Pi Kappa Phi's scholarship averages for the past five years: 1928 -.09, 1929 -.29, 1930 +.12, 1931 +.41, 1932 +.28.

The scholarship reports for the year 1932-1933, fifteen of which have so far been received, indicate that our scholarship rating for the year will be about the same as for the preceding year. One of our chap­ters, Alpha Kappa, at the University of Michigan, was outstanding last year, ranking first among the forty-six national fraternity chapters at that institution. Unfor­tunately one of our chapters made such a poor scholar­ship showing last year that it appears that its local aver­age is sufficient to lower our national average by al­most one third of a point. If the various chapters of our fr~ternity realized how seriously the local average of a smgle chapter may change the national average they undoubtedly would realize how important and necessary it is that each chapter do its utmost to maintain high scholarship standards.

New York Meeting For Government Study

By Frank J. McMullen, ~lpha Xi By James A. Stripling, Alpha Iota

THE New York Alumni at their regular meeting, March 15, were treated to an interesting airplane

jaunt around the world. Mr. Hugh Herndon, Jr., who, with Clyde Pangborn, made this trip and the first non-stop flight across the Pacific, recited his experi­ences to a large gathering of Pi Kapps. The talk given in an informal and confidential manner and covering many items not published delighted the audi­ence.

Under the leadership of Brother Chris Steffan the alumni have been meeting for lunch at Planters Res­taurant in New.York. Every second and fourth Tues­day of each month the brothers have been gathering in one of the private dining rooms for a friendly chat and a tasty meal.· A true Pi Kapp welcome awaits visiting brothers who might find it convenient to drop in.

The New York Alumni have definitely embarked on a program to help relieve any unemployment among the brothers. The entire membership in New York has been canvassed by questionnaire. Brother Albert W . Meisel, sponsor of the plan, has filed the records of those seeking employment and those with positions to fill. It will be his pleasant, and it is hoped success­ful, task to bring the two together.

With the advent of spring came the swanky event of the social season, the Pi Kappa Phi spring formal. On May 5 in the Grand Ball Room of Louis Sherrys on Park A venue, ladies in beautiful gowns and broth­ers in tail-coats were to be found gliding to the entic­ing music of Joe Moss conducting his Meyer-Davis orchestra. This affair was under the guidance of Brother William R. Berger, assisted by an able com­mittee.

Before adjournment, Archon Larry Bolvig impressed on the brothers the necessity for always wearing the fraternity badge. New York Alumni pledged them­selves to display to the world the fact that they are Pi Kapps and proud of it. As chairman of the con­vention committee, he also announced the postpone­ment of the convention until 1934 when New York Pi Kapps three hundred strong will entertain the dele­gates and visitors in a Supreme Chapter Meeting that will leave its mark on the annals of the fraternity.

Recent editions of several fraternity magazines have taken the forms of songbooks. The Delta of Sigma Nu and The Phi Gamma Delta are the latest to publish in this fashion. Limited sales of songbooks led to this movement, editors say.

E. C. Miller Is Co-author of War Debt Payment Plan

I~ CONJUNCTION with A. N. Berbatis, a fellow

0/~dent in Penn State, E. C. Miller, active leader pr lpha Mu Chapter, has presented to the public a w oposed solution of the important, much discussed prar ~ebt problem. It has brought forth from many tico~nent men in business, educational, and journalis­m elds varied comment, mostly favorable and com­inendatory, in total or in part, and has been published w/teveral daily newspapers. Among those who have Cat ten the authors are Walter Lippmann, Dr. Robert N rey of Columbia, Dr. Ivan Wright of Illinois, The coe1

•11 Republic, and the Department of State. Many

ptes of the plan have been requested and distributed.

th:fter a preliminary discussion of the history of Paid War debts and the impossibility of their being ices ~nder present conditions in gold or goods or serv­on ~ u~ to the lack of gold holdings and the effect service 1?dustries of America of unloading goods or bat' es tn the country, Brother Miller and Mr. Ber­de~s 1escribe unemployment conditions and the bur­ind' 0 charity which these place on the taxpayer, and spotca·~· ~hat repudiation would also mean another re­erat~st tlity of the tax paying public. In full consid­Pteston of these condition and problems, the authors

ent the following set up and explanations:

Suggested Debt Payment Plan l. l'h .

fi e m:un plans which have been considered by our A.nancial leaders are those which suggest that,

· A. bond issue be floated in America and the returns be given to the American government as a final debt settlement. The amount of such a payment would approximate 2 billion dollars and the bonds would be amortized within 30 Years, but 1. This means the transfer of government debts

into private debts, and since 2. This would mean taking money from Ameri­

can citizens and giving it to the American government, the debtor nations would really not be paying at the present time.

3. The acquisition of gold in an amount large enough to pay off the bonds must come through a favorable trade balance. This, we have shown, is impossible and detrimental to American business.

4. Such plans postpone final settlement too far into the future; a quick settlement is essen· tial, besides

5. It is very questionable if such a large bond issue could be floated in America at the pres·

~ Pt kAPPA PHI

Perbatis-Miller Plan for Debt Payments

I. An immediate and final settlement of from 7% to 10% of the total war debts should be made. These percentages parallel the Lausanne Agreement fig· ures.

II. Inasmuch as payment cannot be made in gold or in goods which will be placed on the American market to compete against our goods, and inas· much as our social conditions warrant prompt ac­tion, we should arrange payment of from 7% to 10% of the debts to be made over 5 years starting with the present year (1933). A. Payments would be made in goods exported to

America by the debtor nations in amounts pro· portionate to their revised debts.

B. These goods, consisting of clothing, shoes, and blankets, should be allowed to enter America duty free.

C. The goods thus received will not be placed on American markets. They will not compete with American goods.

D. The goods are to be distributed FREE among our 30 million destitute people.

Possible Cr;ticism of the Plan I. It has been claimed that the use of this plan would

rob American manufacturers of a part of their markets because as they say, some one has been taking care of the destitute in the past. In other words, the products for the destitute would come from: Europe rather than from American manu­facturers, but A. Charity has failed to a great degree and will

continue to do so as shown by present conditions, and the destitute, not being taken care of, will soon not be even potential consumers. (That is, if no one will care for the destitute, our American manufacturers will lose nothing for the destitute will simply not exist as a market.)

B. The money devoted to charity today, though small in sum, will, in all probability, if not given to charity, be spent in American markets. This will compensate the manufacturer for any loss he might suffer of the purchasing power of the destitute.

Special Advantages of the Plan I. It alleviates conditions in America by aiding the

unemployed and the destitute. II. It will lighten the taxation burden of the American

people, for A. It will cause city, state, and national government

to decrease the amounts spent for poor-relief. III. Inasmuch as the loans were made with credit,

which purchased American goods, the payment of the war debts will be made in goods also.

Chan Johnson to

Advise Stetson Chapter

Chan Johnson

ONE of the organizational appointments of last spring was that of Chan Johnson, Chi, to the

advisership of Chi Chapter. As such he succeeds Brother William E. Duckwitz. Professor Duckwitz will continue to act as faculty adviser.

Chan has been for the past few years executive sec­retary of the alumni association of John B. Stetson University. His work and residence have thrown him in close proximity to the chapter daily and he has taken the opportunity to help the chapter and frater­nity in many ways. He and his wife will be remem­bered vividly as the songbirds of the Detroit conven­tion by all that attended. Both are talented in musi­cal lines and have been active in radio work for the past five years.

As an undergraduate Chan was outstanding on the Stetson campus. For two years he was elected the most popular man on the campus. This might be con­sidered a superfluity when his various honors are listed: chaplain, historian, archon of Chi; president and soloist of Glee Club; business manager of annual; president of his junior and senior classes.

Benjamin Harrison, a graduate of Miami University in 1852 and twenty-third president of the United States, was the thirteenth man after the six founders to be initiated into Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. While president of Ohio Alpha chapter he was instrumental in securing the first ex­pulsion of a man from membership in his fraternity. He was secretary of the first convention in Cincinnati, December 30, 1851, and a charter member of the Indianapolis Alumni Club. Several autograph books in chapters that he visited indude his signature. He was the first member of a college secret society to become president, according to Palmer's History.

James H. Gressette

THE election of James H. (Toolie) Gressette to the office of president of the University of South

Carolina student body was a fitting climax to a most successful college career. In turn "Toolie" has been president of the sophomore class; secretary and treas­urer of the student body, the highest office that any junior can hold; member of the Athletic' Advisory Board; member of Blue Key; in several high offices in the literary society; and member of the German and Cotillion clubs.

"Toolie's" election came after a bitter struggle, made more so by the fact that he announced his candidacy some time after the other candidates had entered the field. There were originally five entrants and a second race was necessary. This was the first time that Pi Kappa Phi had ever entered the presidential race.

He is the sixth Gressette (all brothers) to become a Pi Kapp. Bill, Furman, Tatum, Marion, and Bob having preceded him. All of these men left enviable records at their respective schools. Bill captained the Furman University football team for two years. Ta­tum likewise was a great football star, having been captain of his team at South Carolina. He is now head coach at the Citadel in Charleston, and was recently initiated into the local Blue Key chapter as an honorary member. Marion attended Furman, Wofford, and Caro­lina where he made excellent scholastic records. He is now practicing law in St. Matthews. Furman, after fin­ishing at Carolina, began the practice of law in Colum­bia. He is now State Code Commissioner. Bob finished Carolina in 1931. While here he was secretary and treasurer of the student body; member of 0 A K; and captain of the football team. He is now teaching and coaching at Richmond Academy in Augusta, Ga.

The Year Promises Much

to Alpha Zeta Chapter

By Marvin Wilbur

W ITH over a score of rushees, alumni, and mem­bers reaching the snowy two-mile peak of Mt.

Hood, August 26 and 27, Alpha Zeta swung into its final lap of summer rushing before the start of the present fall term. With perfect co-operation from the members all over the state, enough Freshman Week date cards were .filled to amply furnish the chapter with good leads. For rushing parties and meetings held semi-monthly in Portland, the main rushing center, the men chosen were picked from the upper groups in their

· respective high schools. The new fall term will be under the leadership of

Archon Rene Koelblen. Other officers chosen for this term are: Virgil Starr, manager; Sam Pearson, secre­tary; Marvin Wilbur, historian; Al Head, chaplain, and Sandy McDonald, warden. Seven men were ini­tiated last spring. They were Sumner Alldredge, Tom Beasley, Ralph Davis, Clarence Ekstrand, Frank Hart, Peter Simbeni and Fred Wiggett.

Although eight Alpha Zeta men were graduated, the house holds a record of having more sophomores than any other house on the campus-a fact to be proud of during the present times. Alpha Zeta had a good representation of men in the various extracurricu­lar activities.

Bill Callan, second baseman of the varsity nine, made such a remarkable showing on the .field and in batting that he was elected as next year's captain. Pledge Kenneth Valberg played ball on the rook team. Freshman numerals in crew were won by Pledges Jack Medlar and Jerome Fluke, and a sophomore crew key was awarded to Sam Pearson.

Outranking his nearest rival 3 to I, Al Head easily won the sophomore class presidency. Marvin Wilbur is assistant night editor of the Daily Barometer and made qualifying grades for a Phi Kappa Phi freshman scholarship award.

Two members, Sumner Alldredge and Fred Wig­gett, and Pledge Amo DeBernardis are recent mem­bers of the Beaver Knights, sophomore service honor society. Thorne Hammond is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity in commerce and Alpha Delta Sigma, national honorary fraternity in advertising. Al Johnson is a member of Tau Beta Pi, national honor society in engineering. Don Tom­linson is a recent initiate of the National Collegiate Players.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has had thirty·one Rhodes scholars since 1909.

Last Year Was "Most Successful"

for Alpha Epsilon

By Edwin Purviance

ALPHA EPSILON completed its most successful r-\ year in many seasons when school closed June 5.

Twenty-two neophytes were initiated into member­ship during the term, boosting the active chapter to a total unsurpassed in several years. The initiates were: Mercer Spear, Apalachicola; Rett Smith, Sanford; Jesse Dooly, Mount Dora; Kenneth Van Antwerp, Tampa; Bill Taylor, L. W. "Spud" Harrell, Sam Davies, and Ernest Moore, Leesburg; Alton Brown, Center Hill; Glenn Wilson, Tampa; Harold Davis, Lake Worth; William Raiford Conway, Green Cove Springs; Abney Cox, Miami; Harry Baker, Haw­thorne; Sam Kennard, Fernandina; Joe O'Conner, Sanford; Dan Allen, Tampa; George Howe and Dick Bardwell, Richmond, Virginia; Holcomb Ford, Jack­sonville; J. E. Bush, Daytona Beach; Dick Cumming, Miami.

The chapter was very much surprised and delighted to learn during the summer that Frank Walrath, junior pre-med, was married during the spring holidays.

The outstanding honor bestowed upon the chapter during the year goes to Brother George Coulter. George; junior law student, was elected secretary-treas­urer of the student body for the coming year.

Jesse Dooly, first string catcher for the varsity last season, has been playing ball during the summer with the Mt. Dora club in the Central Florida League. Dooly, only a sophomore last year, beat out keen com­petition to hold his job during the season.

Alpha Epsilon was glad to welcome Wilson Sanders from Rho chapter this past year. He is studying law and plans to return from his Wisconsin home to the University next year.

Harold Davis has successfully completed his two year pre-dental work at Florida. He plans to enter Northwestern this fall to begin his dental work.

Competition in sd1olastics was keen this year, but the chapter landed in eighth place, ahead of seven­teen other fraternities.

A recently published r~ling of the Commissioner of the Federal Revenue Department at Washington clarifies the question of taxing of fraternity jewelry. Articles sold by the manufacturer direct to the consumer are to be taxed five and a half to ten per cent of the retail price if selling for more than $5.45. All jewelry priced at this figure or below are tax exempt. The Government interprets retail price to be the full amount collected from the consumer regardless of any royalty agreements. This ruling is effective immediately, but is not retroactive and does not affect any taxes collected under the previous ruling.

then in you, the Deans, supply the leadership which will make of this idealism a dynamic force in the lives of your undergraduates? For, after all, it is your func­tion to mould public opinion in the student body and to direct its activities into paths that will bring them more directly to their objectives. College administra­tors have criticized the fraternity sympathetically and freely; but it has occurred to none of them to state clearly and specifically what he would like to see the fraternity do.

And what about the chapter house? Our colleges are spending millions on improving the housing and social conditions of their students. And in all their planning there is little evidence that your Boards of Trustees are aware of the existence of 2500 houses of ideal size, housing natural groups, therefore congenial, and having the essential qualifications for social de­velopment and growth; and that a small part of the money, and infinitely less effort, than you will require to create ideal conditions in your dormitories, will produce in these fraternity houses better conditions than I believe you can get in any other way.

Fraternities have spent $75,000,000 in the erection of these houses. They built them because they saw sooner than did the college the value of intimate life in small groups; they built them when the college had neither the money nor the inclination to build them. Why destroy any of this value, now that the college is like-minded? Why not utilize first what is already there, especially when it includes spiritual values which the college can hardly duplicate. We must not con­demn the chapter house because it does not furnish an atmosphere quite up to the ideal which we cherish. Why not help the chapter house to conform to that ideal? The fraternity is an integral part of the college and of college life. You have its future in your own hands.

When a boy comes to college he is required to en­roll for so many hours in one subject, so many in another, and, at the end, he gets his tag. Americans provide the students with the most extensive and ex­pensive facilities to be found anywhere, and the at­titude of most of the students is to sit back and dare you to educate them.

Controlled Fraternalism

T~A.! word "controlled" is gett~ng to be a most . stgnllicant one in these days and times. The new era :~e economic and political thought is class~fi:d under h encompassing term of controlled soCialtsm. We ave a theory of currency advanced under the name of

controlled inflation. Production and marketing of farm f~ducts is facing a controlling influence. "Let things

e their course" has become "we will point the way and att " I d' 'd r· t empt the keeping of the way. n tvt ua tsm, etn"" ·r . . th rvran y at least is on the wane; 1t IS now e group,

rroduction. There are too many chapters. This had led ;. deleterious competition: house bills incommensurate ...-'~ cost have been used as a form of inducement, ~tous[y going lower and lower; rebates have been

The one general deroga­n~~ Crtticism that is admittedly applicable to frater­c lhes has a stronger foundation-a woeful lack of fOntroi, in general of chapter finances.

Over an~ above the fear which an operation engenders,. there .Is oft~n presented the situation where the operatiOn brtngs dis­figurement and in this there ~s. added. the. elements. of pride and vanity to the oppos1tton. It IS th1s las~ whtch prevents the national orga~izations from lopptng the offending member, and whtch would lead to the utter­ance of vehement protest if the operation were recom-mended or done by others. ·

The fraternity system has proven an acceptable and valuable adjunct to college education. If given the proper conditions in which to continue to ~ourish and progress it should prove more val~~ble wtili: ~he pas­sage of time. The present competitive cond1t10ns are not to be deemed proper ones. Competition is healthy only when it does not stoop to cutting throats, and there is too much of the knife wielding today. The future of the system then depends upon the approxi­mation, at least, of the best competitive conditions. Since this is true and it will be difficult to persuade the national organization to remove its chapter in a par­ticular case where it is one of the weaker groups, a local board for each campus for survey and action be- · comes necessary.

This board should probably be fostered and under the sponsorship of the National Interfraternity Con­ference. Its personnel should be repr~sentative of the Conference, the university, and publtc; and be com­posed of men in whom every confidence could be placed. One of the board should be an accountant. It would be the duty of this board to eliminate from the campus the marginal chapter, or ~hapters, ·after :on­sidering fully the facts which pertatn to the local ~ltua­tion: amount of fraternity "material" made available by registration, financial condition of each chapt~r, present membership a?d pote?~ial future membersh1p, the positive and negat1ve qualtttes shown by ~ach ch~p­ter in scholastic and extra-curricular purswts durtng recent years.

Instead of a survival of the fittest brought about by the process of time and circumstances, in ~~ich ~e fittest will come through in a weakened condttton, th1s should permit the fittest to continue while pos.sessing still its initiative and vigor. It would be the setttng up, and balancing, of a fraternity membership budget.
