.1. On Friday, the sixth of December in the year Ninetee • Hundred and Fifty-seven, a missile called "Vanguard," aftc much ballyhoo , failed to orbit a satellite in outer space. Instead, it barely managed t get off the ground before it exploded into a large display of smoke and fire.

As this is being written, the American people scarcely know whether to laugh c cry. New words are being coined. "Goofnik" is perhaps the most apt of all. But th laughter is bitter and the humiliation remains.

Someone failed before a "cloud of witnesses," and the penalty must be put wher it belongs-on those who failed to perfect the missile and on those who failed to appre ciate the importance of the race for outer space.

Speaking now to the undergraduate: your dedication is not to a spectacular en endeavor. Your primary aim should be to develop into a man of character with a soum mind , clean morals and good manners . Your fraternity strives to help you in tbi supremely important development.

The penalties are high throughout life for the "goof" who fails to recognize th, importance of this objective and the day by day things which must be done to achiev it. The distractions are many and so easy.

And you have your "cloud of witnesses" too-your parents, your brother, you . sister, your classmates.

And most of all you have yourself. Can you imagine how the fellow feels who coui '. have triggered a "USA-nik" into the heavens first-but didn't?

Yours in -kai-,

Two of Brother Bonney's Beta classmatesparticipated in the festivities: E . F. Hann, Jr. , '31, toastmaster, and Henry Suter, '31, who presented a clock to Classmate Sherwood from the alumni.

chapter. No prouder man was present tJu Sherwood's double brother (blood and Betr Donald K. Bonney, '29.

As penultimate speaker Brother Malcolm j troduced Samuel J. McCartney, '41, Distrj Chief, as a preliminary phase of remarks co cerning Dickinson's relations with national fJ ternities. He mentioned Dickinsonians w1 were presidents of Phi Delta Theta, Theta 0 Phi Kappa Sigma and Chi Omega.

He pointed with pride to two other natior officers from Alpha Sigma, Howard J. Maxwr '48, a District Chief, and Karl W. Fischer, •; "assistant national historian for the last 1 years." " Red" admitted to serving as an editor of The BETA THETA PI for "200 year

1eveloping briefly his theme, Brother Priest down the list of Beta presidents, all known im but one, W. A. Hamilton, Northwestern 9, the first. Personal anecdotes illustrated all men who have served since the reorganizain 1897:

[anna-"Brother , use my first name!" Robb equitable, serene, precise, the greatest presit." Sisson-"urbane, skillful, athletic yet a Bete." Shepherdson-"greatest Beta of all e, devoted, kindly, the personification of fraternity in his age." Newton-"great Beta 10p of New England." Dawson-"fastest 1 to grasp a problem.

President concluded " Beta, in the final analysis, is to make men better in mind, spirit , morals, and manners."

With a special bow to Francis B. Sellers, 1897, chairman of the board and R. W. Crist '23, president of the Alumni Association which planned the event, the group adjourned singing "Pass the Loving Cup Around" and "Beta Doxology."

RIDING T ALL IN THE SADDLE is James Arness , B eloit '46. The reason for this is twofold. Jim is si x feet, six and a half inches , and he ' d appear t all in anybody's saddle.

But he's also riding high in the television field. He has scored a big success as Marshal M a tt Dillon on CBS's Saturday night western , " Gun smoke. " The show went up against the sturd y competition of George Gobel when the comedi a n h a d jumped to one of the top-ten shows in audience ratings

M a tt Dillon not onl y succeeded in gunning down Lonesome George, forcing him to aban-

don the Saturday night spot. "Gunsmoke" to its own place among the top-ten shows, 11 several times has been at the top of the sul"'t

The achievement was a triumph of p severance for Jim , who knocked around H wood for many years before getting a blli One factor that held him back was his heij He once told me in an interview when he a struggling actor:

" It wouldn't be bad if I played the leads 1 self. Then it wouldn't matter how tall I It But a lot of leading men don ' t like to hi actors taller than they in their pictures.

"I don't blame them. If I were a star, probably object to having someone seven tall in one of my pictures."

Jim was born 32 years ago in Minneapo He got started in acting in grade schools the singing in operas at John Burroughs grc school, Ramsey junior high and West h school. He also sang in the Hennepin Aver church choir

In 1942, he entered Beloit, where he \ pledged and initiated a Beta. Drafted into army, he served as a member of the 3rd fantry Division in the bitter Italian campai He was wounded on the Anzio beachhead.

He was lucky enough to seen by an RKO talent scout, who was look for some husky young men to play Lor• Young's brothers in "The Farmer's Daught•

The talent man took Jim to producer D. Schary, who signed the budding actor at $4( week. The job was to last three weeks, bt stretched to seventeen. Jim figured the act life was a lark, took his earnings and went a year's holiday.

After running through his earnings a beach bum, he figured it was time to go bac work.

Producers can get financial backing once we are listed in the cast.

"But your name doesn't mean a thing. Besides, you're a tall galoot. Cooper's not going to play in a film opposite you unless you ' re the heavy. This means you're going to wind up playing character parts. Don't be a fool. Take the TV series."

Jim took it. He bas no regrets.

"What pleases me most about the program ," he says, "is that it's given me some stature in the industry and some recognition around the country. Two years ago, nobody knew me from Adam.

spent an enjoyable afternoon showing his wiJ around the fraternity house, and relating tal1 of "old memories" to the Beloit Betas. A though most of the campus was crowded inl or around the chapter house during the afte noon, the Chimen did manage to get Marsh; Dillon and his wife alone for a short serenal just before their early evening departure.

Beta Sigma is well along in what promis to be a most successful year. We are strivil to better last year's record, when the Bowdo Betas took the lion's share of Bowdoir trophies-scholastic, athletic, singing, and d bating.

H. R. (Bob) Haldeman, UCLA '48, recently moved to New York and left the position of chapter counselor which he held for five years. Bob had helped pull the chapter through many difficult years and his willing service will be missed.

In intramural sports, the Betas have won the all-university flag football championship. The team under co-captains Gary Davidson, '58, and James Peters, '58, finished the interfraternity season with seven wins and one tie. Only six points were scored against them, these coming in the final playoff which Beta won 7-6; Chapter President Ronald Duba , '58, kicked the all-important extra point.

With the house at its greatest strength since founding, this year should prove to be a great one for Beta at UCLA. (JoHN W. FuLTON, '58, Executive Secretary)

To many of the Brothers it was a long-hoped-for wish com1 true; to sophomores and rushees, it was rathe startling: after many near-misses, Gamma lot: was receiving a visit from our most distin guished Alumnus, Former Secretary of Defens• Charles E. Wilson, Carnegie '09.

As Chairman of Carnegie's $24,000,001 building program, Brother Wilson had been i1 : Pittsburgh on several occasions, but never fore had his busy schedule permitted a VISI to the chapter house. This time, on learnin, he was in town, Vice-President John Roo se '59, and Correspondent John Wesner, '58, ap· proached President Warner, who promised.!•! bring Brother Wilson around sometime dunn, the day. Our uncertainty as to when to expec the visit added to the informality of the oc casion ; one hardly expects to wear dirty jeao and carry a paint brush when introduced t• the Secretary of Defense ,

a particularly talented and diverse one has, thus far, produced more than its share of leaders both on campus and Jin the chapter. One outstanding member the class, Gary McElroy, '59, has transed to Purdue University this year. Gar y served the chapter as assistant pledge;ter, pledgemaster and had become AJumni retary last March. His spirit and loyalty ·e almost legendary, and he was an active ticipant or ardent fan at all our interfra!ity athletic events. His cheerful presence 1nissed at house social events.

The Gary Austin McElroy Award will presented annually to "that member of the :homore class, who in the estimation of the !Pter, best exhibits superior qualities of >therhood through steadfast devotion to the pha Alpha chapter of Bet a Theta Pi."

Beta Delta in early November elected Cartan Kraft, ' 59, president; Michael Davies, '60, vice president; James White, '58, treasurer; Frank Bates, '60 , house manager, and Ernest Wilson, '60, steward. James Nelson, '60, was reelected corresponding secretary. Retiring President Michael Gainey, ' 58 , summed up the progress of the chapter, particularly noting the gains in scholarship.

Beta placed one man in each of the two Junior honoraries, AJeph Samach tapping F. Norman Juvonen , '60, and Red Key tapping Charles Ruth, '59, in early November. Beta has V. Richard Eales, '59, and John Nelson , '58 , in the senior honoraries.

The Betas are active in winter sports with Nelson and David Zornow , '61, on the basketball squad. Dave is one of the finest sophomore prospects in the Ivy League. Cornell has hockey again for the first time in five years with the opening of our new ice rink. Several of the brothers reported for the team. The chapter's interest in the Intramural program continues, with last year's championship to defend. The Beta grid men were undefeated in league play and were r a ted favorites to win the . coveted football trophy and the points toward the all sports trophy. In broomstick polo , the Beta horsemen showed their heels to the opposition winning the first match of the season. Athletic Manager Dennis Collins, '59, predicts a winning season for Beta Delta.

In the fall rushing of sophomores and transfers, Beta pledged Robert F. Flannery, Ithaca, and Thomas L. Sezak, Orono, Me.

The fall social season was ably handled by D Mason MacCracken, ' 59. Highlights were exchange dinners with Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi; a semi-formal dance with Psi Upsilon, Delta Upsilon and Chi Psi at Cornell's Statler Hall, the usual parties after football games , and our traditional Freshman Queen Dinner in January . (ALAN R. NEWHOUSE, '60)

Dartmouth

The Alpha Omega chapter anxiously awaits the arrival of winter carnival after another successful fall and winter season.

Highlighting the fall season was the success of the interfraternity football team which was runner-up this year, losing the championship game by a single touchdown scored in overtime. The strong right arm of John Jones, '58 , led a brilliant passing attack which gave Beta the edge in most of its contests On the receiving end of Jones ' passes were usually Barry Stompe, ' 58 , and David Gavitt, '59. Roland Kolman, '60, Robert Dewey, '58, and Eric Anderson, ' 60 , provided most of his protection in the line.

Strong showings were made by Dartmouth Betas on the varsity gridiron also, as was recorded in the All-Beta selections last month. Beta is well represented on the basketball and hockey squads as usual , with Rod Anderson, '59, the high scorer and top star for the hockey te a m , likel y to win many post-season honor s.

The brothers worked hard all fall, painting and remodelling various portions of the House. Everyone agrees that it was worth the extra

effort that went into it. Charles Eytel, '59 . . gmeered most of the work.

This report cannot end without a sum of last fall's pledges, now full-fledged b ers. We don't think that a more spirited 10 capable group of boys was ever attracted to tt House than this year's group. PledgemllSI! Edward Labenski, '59, and Donald Pete1101 '59, his able assistant, put the pledges throllf their paces all fall. They tutored them in & lore and history, and the pledges respondt in such a way as to heighten the enthusiasm 1 all concerned. The rest of us are proud to ha1 each of these boys in the House, and only hOJ that next year's pledge class will approac the quality of this group. (MICHAEL D'Eu ' 59)

In addition to the regular fall social calendar were two events which went a long way toward furthering District X brotherhood. The Emory chapter was host to us for a party in October, and it proved highly successful. Also, the first district conclave in several years was held at the chapter house in conjunction with the Tech-Florida football game. It is hoped both of these events will become annual.

With the delayed pledging system in effect at Hanover, 23 men preferenced our fraternity. Since most of these men are outstanding in the freshman class, the chapter is looking forward to a large, well-rounded spring pledge class.

With the fraternal brotherhood at its peak, representation in campus activities increasing, and the chapter house scheduled to be completed in the early spring, we at Hanover are looking and working toward what we are sure will be a very good year (DONALD

DHONAU, '58, Secretary)

Idaho

Idaho actives are in another successful year in all three phases of campus endeavor: scholarship, athletics and activities.

Gamma Gamma last fall repeated its record in fraternity grade rankings by placing second among 16 men's Greek living groups. Nineweeks grades indicated that Beta may finish first this semester.

Athletics got a big boost by the pledging of six potential varsity athletes. Gamma Gamma has four pledges on the University of Idaho's first string freshman basketball team: Larry Parberry, and Bruce McCowan, Moscow, Idaho; Ron Hunt, Baker, Ore., and Ron Licheau, San Anselmo, Calif. Reg Carolan, also of San Anselmo, was a starting end on the freshman football team.

. Frank Cammach, '58, is currently in trainmg for next year's winter ski Olympics.

Politically, Gamma Gamma did especially well at the first party of the year when Pledge McCowan and Neal Newhouse, '59, - were elected presidents of the freshman and junior classes respectively. Mike Patton, '58, is currently tied for_ the office , of senior class president. Already m office were David Maxey, '58, student body president, and Knute Westergren, '58, member of the school's nine-man Executive Board. Both were elected last spring.

Gamma Gamma placed two more men in Blue Key , upperclassmen's service honorary, when Neal Newhouse and James Golden, both

'59, were tapped in November. Six now are among its 30 members. (J GOLDEN, '59, Secretary)

Tau Sigma is profiting from the efforts our two energetic extra chapter groups-{ Alumni Association and the Mother's Clut

This fall our alums gave the chapter a bcX into the new year by having a repaired 11 redecorated house waiting for us when we 1 turned to school. Later in the quarter th staged the annual pledge dinner, better knm as the pig dinner, which saw the house fiD with alums and their wives as chefs, waite hosts and hostesses, providers and partake Most important was the fine showing of alun support and enthusiasm which demonstral to our pledges what it means to be a Bl throughout one's life.

The Mother's Club, headed by Mrs. Stan Balloun, mother of James Balloun, '60, in effort to make the chapter house as comforta as home, provided new dining room tables new easy chair for Mother Blackburn's sitt room, a new vacuum cleaner and new furni ings for the room of our cook, Mrs. He man.

Of course, the best way to show the alL and mothers our appreciation would be to in another successful year. And so far, tba indicated.

Two community projects have occupied Beta Rho this semester.

Both actives and pledges have been participating in the community work project at the Pearl Buck School for underprivileged children. This project is a series of activities throughout the year. Once a month, a group of actives and pledges goes to the school to do any work the school authorities suggest.

With two sororities and another fraternity, we also held a box social to raise funds for a boys' school in the Eugene area. Besides being financially successful as a contribution to that cause, the project was excellent in fostering friendship among the four cooperating groups.

Our pledge class of 26 has been living up to expectations under leadership of its president, Chester Clock.

Theta Pi reached its academic peak last sprij quarter by ending up first in scholarship 0 the other 23 fraternities on campus. This WI a historical first for Lambda Sigma and marb the continuance of new scholastic standards by this chapter.

Rushing procedure has undergone furtlu change this year at Stanford . Instead of rusbir winter quarter, as it has been in the past, fo mal rushing has been deferred until sprir with virtually no contact · between fraterni1 men and freshmen before April. This mei!l that rushing letters will be gratefully appreciate until that time.

An alumni open house was held this fall afte the UCLA game, and was attended by mar West Coast alumni-most of whom were agre1 ably surprised not only by the scholarship in provements but the chapter house improv ments as well.

The autumn term has been good to Theta ta. Most noticeable in the Chapter are extsive improvements to 'the house, but underng it all has been a new refreshing spirit the part of the brothers , Toronto Betas have never lagged behind J er campus fraternities in energy, but this ar 's edition has taken steps to further adnee itself. The rushing season, which began ,wly, has produced ten enthusiastic and inligent pledges from five faculties Proof of eir eagerness may be found in the successful of thei\ pledgemaster, John Gray, 9, and in a well-organized pledge French party.

Singing , not up to high standards the past w years, has received a substantial boost \th the aid of a strong alumni association Sev'al of these men have sacrificed much of their me to revive our Beta tradition, and the situaon is increasingly better.

Work will be commenced soon on resurfacing te rear parking-lot. Further large projects and dditions to the property are being abandoned ow because of expansion plans of the Univer-

sity. Already the land south of Harbord Street to Spadina Avenue has been expropiated While this large tract should appease the requirement for more room for a short time, the inevitable will force Theta Zeta to seek more secure lodgings. Future policy has not been decided, although our dream is to build our own house .

A further indication of new spirit appears in social activity The usual rushing parties, especially the annual Toga Party , have been successful , but more important is an experiment. With Gamma Phi Beta sorority, we cooperated in a Christmas party for a number of aged ladies and gentlemen of the city. The brothers have welcomed this opportunity to prove that Beta Theta Pi is not a completel y exclusive , self-centered group, that it has reg a rd for the underprivileged old people of its community.

The autumn has also been rewarding to a recent alumnus, Richard Risk , '56 , who is in second year Law at the Universit y and who last year topped his class . He has pla yed offensive end with the Varsity Blues football squad each year , and this season he has emerged as an excellent punter, averaging about fort y-five yards a kick

Improvement is certainly nece ssa r y in other fields , but this Chapter is on the mo ve, and y ou will hear a good deal from it in the near future. (AL FRED W. J Di cK, ' 62 , Ch apt er Editor)

The big news at Nu Chapter this fall is the acquisition of a pledge cla ss of 19 outstanding freshmen These men , constituting the largest pledge clas s at Union this year, are:

The credit for this success belongs to the whole brotherhood, but in particular to Richard Cole, '58 , and Richard Kokosa , '58, rushing co-chairmen. It is also pleasing to note that we have not only pledges in quantity , but also pledges of quality. Semo has been elected President of the Freshman Class and was on the frosh cross-country squad . Getty also was on thi s team , while Kirchgasser and Torpie have made the swimming and b a sketball te a ms , respectively .

We are third of 16 fraternities in scholarship and second of 16 in scholarship improvement. These two high placements plus our third-place finish in the overall intramural race last year puts Nu in excellent position to win "the ;Brown Troph y, " which is awarded to the outstanding fraternit y on campus. We feel that this year, with the addition of a large and already active a nd outstanding pledge class, Nu will fill the gaps left by the departure of an excellent senior cl ass and strive to go on to e ven bigger and better a ccomplishments (PAUL DENTZ, ' 58, Chapt er Correspondent)

A new gymnasium at Horace Mann School in New York City has been named Prettyman Gymnasium in honor of Dr. Virgil Prettyman, Dickinson 1892, principal of that school 1895· 1920.

The dedicatory plaque in the main entrance to the building cited him as "Energetic advo. cate and builder of this school, resolute cham· pion of country day school education, belovec leader of happy followers."

His son, Lambert Prettyman, a 1914 gradu ate of Horace Mann School, spoke at the ded ication in behalf of his father, whose obituarJ will be found on page 327 of this issue. The son revealed that his father had recallec that when the school entered athletics it needec colors and "the only ones he knew were hi: own college colors, maroon and white."

ur Addressograph Plate

1m time to time the Administrative Office receives inquiry about the meaning of a in symbol or "key" on the general fraternity mail addressed to a member. Here ' s the , as portrayed by a fictitious Addressograph plate that reads:

*John Z. Jones

123 Main Street

Middleton, Oreg on

Dart 88 T 324 12-57

hn Z. Jones, that's the way the Beta prefers to have his mail addressed. If he rets J. Zanesville Jones, we are glad to so make the plate.

ost members do not have a star in front of their name, because that indicates Brother s is one of the few members who are not magazine life subscribers. Apparently he initiated prior to September 1919, for the membership fee of each initiate since then automatically included a life subscription. If our mythical Brother Jones should now 1me a life subscriber by joining the Baird Fund, the star would be removed from his e.

stands for Dartmouth. Abbreviations of six letters or less have been devised for B6 chapters. Unless the member requests otherwise, the original chapter is shown trdless of later transfers to other chapters. The 88 indicates the year of graduation r if not a graduate, the class with which the member wishes to be associated.

11 e "T 324" shows that Brother Jones originally had roll number 324 at the Dartmouth pter, but that he subsequently transferred to another chapter. This is the key that 1s us definitely locate a member regardless of the way he prefers to be addressednitials, first name, or middle name.

r there is a date in the lower right hand corner, that is when the plate was last • nged. No date indicates that the plate has not been changed since August 1950, when present system was installed.

llur practice is to use either the residence or business address, whichever is preferred the member. Each address change received from a source other than the individual olved is confirmed personally to make certain the change is accurate and desired.

,:ach month hundreds of magazines are returned as undeliverable because subscribers re moved without sending address change notices to the Administrative Office, 208 High Street, Oxford, Ohio. Normally the magazine is not forwarded. So that you'll ! miss a single issue, please be certain to send word whenever your address changes ery effort is made to revise your mailing plate within a few hours of receiving the 1'ice from you.

_9ur goal is to have every Baird Fund Member (life subscriber) correctly included on t mailing list. You can help by making certain that you are there .

You're getting a smaller magazine than usual this time, for good dollars-and-cents reasons. And this makes it a good time to talk about some practical aspects of a fraternity magazine

It's not always easy to live with, work with or grow with a champion. And in being the official publication of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, THE BETA THETA PI finds itself in just that position The Magazine cannot keep pace fully with the growth of the Fraternity's memberships, to keep fully abreast of all the triumphs and achievements of its members, collectively or individually, or to satisfy in every issue all of the reader interests that may be expressed.

Since virtually every chapter is 50% to 100 % larger than a few years ago, it should be no news that more magazines are being printed than ever before. Virtually everything else costs more , so publication costs are up. And since no Beta ever has been asked to invest more than $20 in a life subscription for a magazine of which he gets seven copies a year , it 's obvious that THE BETA THETA PI must be kept within a budget which can be supported by the income from a Baird Fund which has been based on gifts as well as your $20 Baird Fund Memberships.

The circulation of the Beta Magazine is now up to approximatel y 45 ,000 , and it costs just a bove a dollar a subscription a yeai'.

We stayed on budget through the October a nd No vember issues but incurred greater expen se than expected for January and February. The an sw er is to hold this one down to get back in line . It 's still bigger than most issues of mo s t fraternity magazines , including several which don't appear as often as seven times a yea r. And it can serve to warn you that we may sometim e have to choose between an increase in revenue and a more modest operation . We are not hurt yet. Present income will suffice , if we are realistic. Variety , ·balance and re as onable timeliness can be sustained, with hard -no sed editing . If your favorite author is boiled down or your favorite topic neglected , feel f ree to complain-but remember there ' s a

lot to cover, and little space for mere rewrites of old clippings .

The editor's mail would indicate the reader · ship is about equally divided between those who would like to see greater esoteric conten t, those who would like to see more " succes '' stories; those who want more photos used , and those who see too much sameness in ou r photos ; those who would publish every good ! Beta speech , prayer or poem they ' ve hear d, and those who think none of these is worth its space; those who would have us report births, and those who think even mere mention or' marriages is space wasted in a men's magazin e. The editor 's mail is , in fact, darned interesting -and there again, we're sorry space doesn 't [ permit including the publication of a letters de· partment more re gularly

We mull these things here not because they/ plague an editor , but simply because they arel factors in whether your Magazine can be everything you want it to be It would be so muc easier to get the full Beta story into every is sue-to please fully all segments of the read er ship-if Betas weren't doing so many com· mendable things in so many places.

There ' s one thing for sure: An easy way to save money for the Magazine is to move an d fail to tell us your new address. We'll send one more issue to your old address , pay the po st· office a nickel for returning it stamped "und e· Iiverable ," and send no more magazines to yo u anywhere.

But it's a shame if you do

Yours in -kai-,
