Fratet·nitie and sororities throughout the Uni ted tates are singing the well-loved song, "AIL, weet Mystery of Life", utilizing this one reft·ain over and over again. The reason for their hroken-record recitation is to be fotmd in the hue and cry being raised ovet· them by the various conununication media, both written, pictorial, and spoken, and overt predictions of the "'death of the fraternity system."

Where?

Why? Who?

As every egg came from a fowl, and likewise, every fowl came from an egg, it is indeed a mystery as to where it all starts. Of equal concern to the Where, is the answer to the question Why? did it start and develop and Who? started it and is continuing to develop it.

As has been stated before, "there is nothing new under the sun," likewise, the criticism of, and prediction of its demise, is ~othing new to the fraternity system. However, It must be admitted that the present trend is to a much more vicious attack, and to be quite frank, a much more untruthful attack.

The American fraternity system, either i~ lia total or as a hybrid, traces its developrne111 fr~ from the origin of Phi Beta Kappa at the col· to! lege of William and Mary in 1776. Some learn~ ''it statisticians go even further than that ~:~11 tr;; relate the American college fraternity syste01 ''ti to the old "Flat Hat Club" of which Mr. Jef· sy! ferson was a member. It comes as no surpris: to learn that even the highly renown aJl leg respected Phi Beta Kappa had much oppositi 0~ da: in its early days of development and contiJI0' Wi· ing on up to the recent past. , Hostility to the fraternity system has n~· cu: always been limited to hostility towards indl' 'l'r vidu~l fraternities, nor towards fraternities~: co, specific campuses. At different intervals in bl· ha 111 tory, fraternities have found themselves c0 at pletely banned from many college and uJll th: versity systems. Even some state legislat01 ha have gotten into the act in the past and duriJ1l an the 1910's and '20's several state legislatuJ'~ th' passed inactments prohibiting the existeJl~ lt . of fraternities at state educational institutioJl: te1 0 Even today, you will occasionally find ii1. ~ vidual state legislators rising to the occaslo; llli and attacking fraternities on the hallo'V~ fr: floors of our seats of government. e' So1 During the past few years we have s~ A.~ this occur in the state of New York, ,v~l tn,· state-controlled and supported universJ·w ·r an 1 withholding privileges of national fraterl1 '-ll~

if closed at the present point of development, it does not indicate the "death of fraternities" at Williams, but rather a reduction of their scope of activity.

Misleading Publicity In National Publications

Many other instances of mis-information for study and research, have resulted in similar types of false and misleading publicity. Of immediate thought comes to mind an article in N ewsweek Magazine entitled, "Zeta Beta Kaput," which misquoted and quoted out of context, various school administrators indicating that fraternities were "losing out." That factual and constructional publication, Esquire, has also esteemed itself in the eyes of good fraternity men by an article entitled, "The Death of Fraternities." This was a very caustic and subtle article, written purely from the fantasy of a second-string writer's imagination, lacking in facts, and in certain instances, being downright untruthful.

Look Mazazine has found it necessary to get into the act, and has recently produced an article entitled, "Big Brother." Although an initial glance at this article might give you the impression that it was a middle-of-the-road treatise on the subject of fraternities, it actually was a subtle attack on the system.

Just Criticism Always Needed

Many other instances of overt mis-information being disseminated could be mentioned; but rather, it would be well to indicate that there have also been numerous instances during the past few years of publicity, adverse and major, which was truthful and factual.

In being honest with ourselves, we must admit that a tremendous amount of the controversy concerning fraternities has not been completely without basis.

The usual campus capers of our undergraduate youth 'receive their due just in the public's eye. It must be admitted and recognized that no national fraternity worth its salt condones such activites, but rather it should be remembered that these fraternities in fact condemn such activity and work diligently through their administrators and alumni to prevent such activities occurring.

Many prominent educators, faced with pres-

Of sure from parents, trustees, government agencies, etc., have found it necessary to launch an all out attack directed towards upgrading the academic processes of their institutions. Therefore, it is only natural that they attempt to speed up the evolution of all campus organizations. Any campus organization not being totally academic-orientated will therefore be given much attention, and great stress will be based upon its "change of ways."

Likewise, the tremendous impact of technological and other advancements is the worldwide competition of ideologies demands that there be a re-evaluation of emphasis, and purposes. Fraternities are perhaps the least-wielding organizations on a campus, and it does perhaps become aggravating to various educators, administrators, etc., that this ponderous movement will not get up and go at the lash of their whip, as readily as other more controllable organizations on their campus.

It would be well to recognize an important development of the past few months. Constructive criticism of the fraternity system is developing, slow for sure, but in evidence.

There will be more on this in a later issue.

Constructive Explanation

of Mis-Information

Two interesting thoughts have been presented recently, which might provide some constructive explanation of the "reports of fraternities' death and decline." One such plausible explanation come from the understanding that an institution derives publicity in direct proportion to the impact it makes upon the community. Since we are now referring to the magnitude of adverse publicity being received nationwide by fraternities, then we must include the entire nation as the fraternity's community of influence. Since this nationwide community sees it necessary to overtly recognize and be cognizant of fraternities, it would therefore appear that fraternities are indeed becoming of age. Becoming of age, it must be that the impact on its community being levied by fraternities is increasing to such a magnitude that it cannot help but be noticed. Anything worthy of notice is worthy of knocking. At least, this appears to be the philosophy of many media's policies.

In other words, you will notice that XYZ Electric Company doing minor electrical re2

pairing and installation, and employing thret J or four people in a sub-section of a local cill 191 community, makes very little impact, regard· ch~ less of what it does (for good or bad), an' 24! therefore, receives very little notice for W 1 efforts. However, when General Electric, eJil inc ploying thousands of people and involving }'l'lil· lions of dollars in assets and services, dot Sot something (for good or for bad) it receive: Pai great notice. Such warranted notice derivt itself from the fact that GE has a tremendou: \le1 impact on its community. Fraternities a!'' atE making a decided impact and are therefoJI 19f subject to greater scrutiny by the public. V/t ha· have arrived! \Vo A second, and perhaps even more plausibl• Wit explanation, is the very nature of fraterni~ in philosophy. Fraternities base their prese~~ \Vh and future activities and development on jjhel; th 1 historical tradition. Likewise, it is so muc. t·Ie: an intangible operation that we must recognl~' the tremendous spiritual influence present tee Needless to say, any organization with a simil~1 not operation could not expect to exist unnoticed 11 ( a society which is presently being driven, ~ arE a great extent, by a pragmatic and agnos!l· th~ philosophy. To proponents of pragmatism aJI1 not agnosticism, fraternities would indeed be rt 0f pulsive. Such individuals would of necessi~ is feel it imperative that they "knock" a trlld1 thE tion-bound, spiritual movement. to 5 In the February issue of the STAR M', ne: LAMP, we will explore further the curre~ leg criticism of fraternities, both deserved 11Jl: a d undeserved. Also, we will hope to prese~ , methods of meeting the challenges presentJ no· At this time, let us dissect this "corpse" aJI' 1 ant see whether it ails as prescribed.

A past president of his State Bankers Association he was also active in a number of other banking organizations: He is .a past pre.si~ent of the Financial Public Relations Association, and has held numerous appointments with the American Bankers Association, including five years as Chairman of the ABA Public Relations Council.

He has lectured to banking groups throughout the nation on business development topics and for 20 years was a faculty mem~er of the Stonier Graduate School of Bankmg at Rutgers University.

Brother Neal has tremendous pride in his Savings Bond efforts d~ring the pas.t 22 years.

He summed up the savmgs Bond picture during that time this way "How well we have succeeded can be seen in the sales record of Savings Bonds over the past 22 years. During that period, more than 100 million Americans have purchased a total of $133 billion in E and H Savings Bonds. Today they hold a record total of $45.9 billion.

And over the past 22 years Americans have withdrawn from the program some $87 billion in savings and accumulated interest.

"These dollars have gone toward building family, security, providing for retirement, for education of children and numerous other worthwhile purposes. They have gone b~ck into the economy in the form of bank deposits and have gone into the spending stream to help sus~ain and stabilize the economy of every American community.

"This is a job with many satisfactions, not the least of which is the knowledge that the Savings Bonds program strengthens America and fosters a practical kind of everyday good citizenship," said Brother Neal.

Much good writing often appears in our undergraduate publications. The following exerpts are a good example.

"EAST CAROLINIAN"-Beta PhiEast Carolina College When the first "man" swung down from the branches and ambled around, stoop-shouldered and bent-spined, one of the first places he ambled was to a wall. He went to a wall, found something that would mark the wall, and ~ro­ ceeded to inscribe for posterity. These earliest inscriptions were little more than crude, linear etchings. But the art of inscribing walls progressed rapidly, and the etchings assumed defiinite shapes. They represen~e~, not so muc~ an attempt at prehistoric creativity, ~s a mamfestation of man's desires and practices.

Later more civilized men continued the practice'. The Egyptians painted detailed. sc~nes on the walls of their tombs. These pamtmgs also portrayed the customs and beliefs of the era. f Thus men have committed themselves or po terity. The scratches and paintings on the walls of caves and tombs have been almost like inscriptions on the walls of time. Through a study of them archaeologi~ts have dis~ern~d many of the habits and beliefs of prehistoric and early man. They remain as a touchstone for historians.

University of Virginia Kahlil Gibran once wrote "Work is love made visible." If one honestly desires to attai;1 a goal or to seek some realization of an idea ' he knows he will have work ahead of him, for otherwise the goal or ideal is not worth reach· ing. His efforts and exertions are the visible manifestations of this desire, or this love, for that goal which lies before him. .

As individuals we have goals, some of whJC11 might seem more distinct, or, perhaps, more immediate, than others. As a j1·aternity, as~ group of individuals possessed with what ,v~ feel is a certain understanding and mutu~ sensitivity we also have goals. Our aim 1: not just to exist as an element of the fr~ ternity system at the University, although.: great amount of work is involved in doing thd alone. Our aim is to thrive and g1·ow a!l; while growing, not to forg~t our jdeals. qu~ aim is to work for these Ideals m work 1 ~e through them, for without them we fall to.\ barren plateau of mere existence, and we m!IJ ·ti be lucky to deserve even that.

Thus we work, for we have something woJ 1 working for with each graduating brother a~1 • that well-earned diploma, with each new m~pe ber,. as well as with each function, w~ see Jl~ visible result of our work and our desires, a Jf we realize the purpose for that work. ~ cherishing our ideals we make our work mte~01 ingful, and only thus can we grow as a 1 fraternity.

The dictionary describes a fraternity as11i dt student organization found in Americand uhj: ''1 versities, formed chiefly to promote frien ? ~ te and welfare among its members and identJ 6je< o1 through Greek letters and usually accompa!l 1 tr by secret proceedings. Probably very few peOJI fc would argue with this definition, but it re'jt: s~ doesn't tell anyone what makes a fraternl; bE a living organization. For a fraternity ~~vir cc more than just a mere association of in 1 er ca uals existing together, there must be P~d;~J· bE a force which moulds this group of indivi f Cl 111 into a strong viable society.

What lies behind is the past, but it cannot be forgotten. For myself, the immediate past repres~nts one . of the most enjoyable and educatiOnal periOds of my life, my term as Archon of Alpha Tau. I would like to leave a thought with undergraduates and alumni alike. R W. Emerson once said, "Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine."

Let us not stand in each others sunshine.

"FOREVER LAMBDA "-LambdaUniversity of Georgia

We at Lambda Chapter do sincerely wish to express our THANKS to our alumni for taking enough interest in their fraternity to send us recommendations on freshmen rush prospects .

It is truly one of our greatest assets to be familiar with a rush prospect and let him know that he has been recommended by one of ou;r oustanding alumni. It gives the boy a knowmg assurance and makes him feel that he is a~ready, in a small way, a part of our fratermty.

In addition to the effect of these recommenda~ions on the prospective pledges, they also give a tremendous boost to the rush spirit of our brothers. To know that you are interested in our selectivity gives us a renewed pride.

"BETA IOTA LITE"-Beta IotaUniversity of Toledo

Let us begin this 59th anniversary of the founding of Pi Kappa Phi with the attitude that it is my duty and responsibility to set the example for my Brother. You can preach all you wish about being a Brother, but until you are one you can't really know what a Brother is. You can talk and contemplate all you want about Brotherhood, but until you practice Brotherhood you are not better than a hypocrite. Brotherhood doesn't start with the next fellow-it starts with yourself. Until you have given, how can you truthfully expect to receive? To write and talk about Brotherhood is the simple part. It is the practice which slowly evolves into that indescribable special way of feeling that is the real meaning of Brotherhood.

Brotherhood seems to be the goal which we are all seeking, yet in a negative manner.

Instead of telling a "Brother" that he is doing something wrong, why not show him the right way to do it? Instead of telling a "Brother" to "go to hell," why not say "Lets both go to Heaven"?

THE WHOLE STORY OF FRATERNITY GREATNESS A new edition of Baird's Manual just published is an impressive testimony that fraternities continue to gain strength and size

The Preface to the Manual concludes: "Readers who are surprised that the fraternity system continues to grow so lustily need not be. 'It is the real evidence that the fraternity of tomorrow is to be far more powerful than that of yesterday,' said Dr. Shepardson, 'because of the increased faith of earnest men in the dignity, the potentiality, and the human influence of such an association of kindred souls.' " The new Manual contains 848 pages. It is set in a modern double-column format in a trimmed size of 6% by 9% inches, and is bound in a durable maroon buckram. Copies may be ordered from George Banta Co., Menasha, Wis., the publisher. The price is $8.00 per copy, postpaid.

The new Seventeenth Edition of Baird's Manual of American College F-raternities, the bible of the Greek-letter world since 1879, clearly answers a question frequently asked of late by observers of higher education: "Have the fraternities stopped growing?"

The new edition just published by the George Banta Co., Inc., Menasha, Wis., is larger in every way than the preceding edition of 1957· It is evidence that the fraternities have decidedly not stopped growing. College enrol}· ment grows, the fraternities grow, and thiS new edition attests that Baird's Manual haS grown and is growing with them.

The work contains an enlarged Introduction to the American College Fraternity, whicb presents historical highlights, essential phasef of development, and in revealing the nature o the fraternity shows why it is an importan1 institution which has contributed significant}) to America as a civilization.

Also, a more readily usable directory is in eluded of universities and colleges where there are fraternjty chapters. This describes the institution briefly and states for the first time the type of housing utilized by the fraternitie~ and sororities. The new Baird's lists 915 instl' tutions, while the 1957 edition listed but 491.

A further innovation is the presentation ,01 the descriptions of fraternities and socie~14 in a uniform order, following these top1c8 sideheads : Growth, Government, Traditio~t and Insignia, Publications, Funds and Ph1· anthropies, Headquarters (address), and Me1: bership. Membership statistics are immediate) followed by the roster of chapters.

Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman's Badge. Wilson was discharged in 1946 as a major.

During his collegiate career at the University of Florida, he was a member of the Honor Court, vice president of his class as a junior in the College of Law, and a chairman of one of the campus political parties.

Active in Lake City community affairs Wilson has served as president of the local Ki~anis Club, chairman of the Suwannee River District Boy Scouts, and as a member of the Advisory Council of Lake City Junior College and Forest Rangers School.

He has been active in alumni affairs for his university as vice president of the alumni association's district three and as association vice president-at-large.

He is active in the Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce and Presbyterian Church and is now serving as a trustee of Davidson College and a member of the Board of Counselors of Florida Presbyterian College.

Brother Conway owns and operates gas heating and air conditioning firms in Daytona Beach, Fla. He has been a vice president of the Florida alumni association and has served on the executive committee for ten years. He also is chairman of the Association's plans and objectives committee.

He is a native of Green Cove Springs, Fla., and attended grade and high schools in Palatka.

He has a BS in business administration from the University of Florida, class of '32.

In addition to his work with the Alumni Association, Conway has served as president of the Florida Liquified Petroleum Association and of his local Kiwanis Club. He is on the Board of Governors of the Council of 100 for Daytona Beach. His community service also has included service as secretary to the Volusia County Crippled Children Association and treasurer and board member of the St. James Episcopal Day School.

At next Spring's Florida Alumni Reunion, Conway will step up to the active presidency of the group, taking the reins from fraternity brother Wilson.

By that time, who knows, maybe there'll be another Florida Pi Kapp waiting in the wings to follow in the footsteps of Brothers Wilson and Conway.

Memphis Alumni Organize An outstanding response to the Voluntary Dues Program by alumni in Memphis, Tennessee, has resulted in the formation of an alumni association. Meeting first at the home of Brother John E. Davitt, 489 Walnut Grove, with Assistant Executive Secretary, Ted Scharfenstein, present, eleven graduate Pi Kapps in Memphis felt it desirable to investigate further their ability to operate as an organized chapter.

Later, on May 20, the Memphis Pi Kapps met again with Executive Secretary Durward Owen at a local restaurant.

Since that meeting, Brother Davitt has been actively creating a working organization. As presently envisaged, the Memphis alumni will have two major purposes: the establishing of a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at Memphis State University and in rushing local high school students for our undergraduate chapters.

Of special interest is the participation in this activity by Brother George Branson, 989 Stonewall, Memphis 7, Tennessee, the first initiate into Iota Chapter at George Tech (10-2513).

Iota, Georgia Tech Chapter, Makes It 50 Iota Chapter came into existence on October 24, 1913, with John D. Hammer serving as initiating officer. To commemorate this date, a 50th Anniversary Celebration has been cheduled for the weekend of ovember 8-9-10, 1963.

16

On Friday, November 8, there will he a banquet, tickets costing $3.50. With Brother George Griffin's help, a block of tickets for the Florida State football game has been reserved for Saturday, November 9. The cost is $5.50. An Open House will follow the game. On Sunday, November 10, the chapter has scheduled a formal initiation for alumni to attend.

Further information will he forwarded to Iota alumni in the chapter publication. Anyone needing additional information can secure same by writin « Dean George Griffin, Georgi: Institute of Technology, 117 Knowles Building, Atlanta, Georgia, or Fred Field, Archon of Iota Chapter, 719 Brittian Way, Atlanta, Georgia. Initiates of chapters other than Iota are also invited to attend.

Howard College to have Active Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi With Alpha Iota-Auburn, and Omicron-Alabama, conducting the initiation, Alpha Eta Chapter will he re-activated at Howard College in Birmingham, Alabama. This event will occur on October 4th and 5th, 1963, when 31 young undergraduates from Howard College will become Pi Kapps.

Initiates of Alpha Eta and other Pi Kapps are invited to take part in the banquet. This will he held on Saturday, Octoher 5, 1963, at 7:00 p.m., in the Private Banquet Room of the Howard College Cafeteria.

For further information contact V. Hain Huey, 1750 Mayfair Drive, Birmingham, Alabama, or the Central Office.

Families of World War I Veterans The colleges and universities of America, which supplied the Naval Aviators of World War One, a re now requested to furnish contact with the families of these men in order that they may be included in a commemorative register now being compiled by co-operation of Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard.

Many descendants of these former Naval Aviators are students or recent graduates of our colleges, and may render a considerable and appreciated service by writing to NAVAL AVIATOR REGISTER, 2500 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington 7, D. C.

For over fifty years, Pi Kappa Ph!i grew and developed in spite of an enormous omis sion. During this time, it was one of the few college Greek letter fraternities not being financially supported by its graduate members.

In other words, no alumni dues ·either required or voluntary: were collected.

Following a pilot project in 1960, Pi Kappa Phi initiated a fraternity-wide program of graduate (alumni) situation.

Considering the lack of a professional approach in its implementation, each year's program has been successful.

Those Pi Kapps charged with the administration of the fraternity and voluntary alumni officers have made a detailed study and following professional advice have institutionalized the Voluntary Dues Program beginning this year, 1963.

Brothers Herlong and Brock have become closely involved Con tinued on page 2 6) 17

Selling 'fBB" Guns Is Big Business Brother Robert H. Cowan, Furman University '53, sells BB guns for a living.

In fact, he's in charge of all sales for the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of BB guns and toy guns of all types-the Daisy Manufacturing Co. Cowan's sales responsibility also takes in artificial fishing lures and custom-built rods and reels of James Hedden's Sons, the firm that together with Daisy forms the Daisy-Reddon Sales Co. of Rogers, Ark. Brother Cowan is vice president of the company.

As vice president in charge of sales, his responsibilities include supervision of the entire Daisy-Heddon field sales force plus personal supervision of all major national chains, department and mail order companies with which the firm does business.

"I started as territorial salesman upon graduation from Furman University in January, 1953," said Cowan, "I was promoted to assistant sales manager in 1955; then to director of sales in 1958 and appointed vice president of Daisy-Heddon Sales Co. upon its origin in 1960."

Brother Cowan, his wife Mary Joe and their daughters, Mary Jill, 5, and Melody Anne, 2, live on Sky Mountain Drive in Rogers, Ark. Cowan is a member of the National Sales and Marketing Executives International, the Fraternal Order of Elks and the official board of the Central Methodist Church of Rogers.

Says he of his successful business career: "Outside of the fact that I feel like I have been in selling all of my life, that is about the story of my career."

HALCOMB MAKES A BUSINESS OUT OF IMPERTINENCE

Fred E. Harrell

HARRELL HEADS S. A.M. Another Pi Kapp has recently been elected to the top position in a national organization. This time it is Brother Fred E. Harrell, Omega, Purdue University, '22. This year he has achieved the presidency of the Society for the Advancement of Management.

Brother Harrell's activities with S. A. M. have been extensive and lengthy, commencing in 1950 as a member of its Board of Directors. Numerous offices and committee assignments have cumulated in his election to President.

After several years as general manager of the Marquette Division of Curtis-Wright Corp., Brother Harrell joined in the purchase of the Skidmore Gear Company. He is a registered professional engineer and is a member of the Edison Medal Committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

(A Pi Kapp, Dr. Kouwenhoven, was last year's winner of the Edison Award.)

He was active in several fraternal organizations while at Purdue, among them Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, and Eta Kappa Nu. In 1941-42, he served as National President of the latter organization.

Evidence of an ever increasing enthusiasm for the PERT system was further shown recently by the announcement that JAMES HALCOMB, Omicron, Alabama, '4 7, has formed his own management consulting organization to assist the federal government and industry to train and implement the technique and its newest extension, PERT COST. Program Evaluation and Review Technique is the full name of this Navy-developed mathematical method for integrating multiple tasks.

Following graduation from Alabama, Brother Halcomb received further graduate work at Purdue, Colorado State University, Newark College of Engineering, and the University of California.

The former program manager for Varian Associates military systems work and project engineer on the Polaris program and now head of James Halcomb Associates in Palo Alto is a pioneer in perfecting PERT as a basic management information and decision-making system for smaller industries or smaller programs typical to subcontracts work. As an aid in implementation he designed a one-dollar nomograph known as a PERT0-GRAPH circular slide rule computer to get the feel of the PERT mathematics just as a metric ruler could help introduce the metric system. Following its initial publicity, including September 8 Business Week, several thousand copies of the device have been requested by engineers and managers from every type of industry.

New Colony Of Pi Kappa Phi At Old Dominion College Further expansion efforts have resulted in the creation of an additional colony for the fraternity at Old Dominion College. Old Dominion is a fully accredited liberal arts college founded in 1930. For several years it operated as a branch of the College of William and Mary.

Phillip Meador, son of Brother Herman Meador, Xi Chapter at Roanoke College, acted as organizer for the Central Office. His initial work, covering a three-month period, has given Pi Kappa Phi a group of fourteen excellent undergraduates as colony members. Much work is ahead but such a good start will surely result in an outstanding chapter in the not too distant future.

In September of 1928 Bill went to Chicago where, under George Sheetz, he became Pi Kappa Phi's first Assistant Executive Secretary. He held this position for three years prior to entering Chamber of Commerce work. He participated directly in one of the milestones of Pi Kappa Phi's history, that of an enlarged professional National Headquarter's staff.

ALPHA XI '28-Richard La On March 5, 1910, a recent graduate of the Univ. of South Carolina wished to return to Columbia for the chartering of Sigma Chapter. This was only natural for WADE SMITH BOLT, as he had been involved in the creation of Sigma Chapter and would not have missed the chartering unless absolutely necessary.

This was a significant introduction into Pi Kappa Phi, but it was only the beginning. Others may have ass umed their obligation fulfilled , and retired to a nominal inactive status, but not Wade Bolt. Wade believed his beloved Pi Kappa Phi deserved his continuous devotion, and continuous was his interest and participation.

In 1914, Brother Bolt became editor of the STAR AND LAMP, succeeding its second editor, Brother John D. Hammer. For several years, he not only edited the publication, but several issues were printed and mailed at his expense.

Would that more graduates had such a depth of affection.

Although he served as editor of the STAR AND LAMP until 1920, his services to the Fraternity extended beyond the printed word. Absent from Sigma's chartering, Wade was finally initiated at the 13th Supreme chapter, in 1925. His dream was now fulfilled!

The beginning of Omega Chapter at Purdue saw Brother Bolt, now living in Otterbein, Indiana, ever present. As Sigma initiate 26

WILLIAM BERRY

-

In 1900, a local frater· nity, Psi Delta, was founded at Howard College in Birf· mingham, Alabama. One o its founders was WILLIAM A. BERRY. When Psi Delta became Alpha Eta ChaP· ter of Pi Kappa Phi in 1925, Bill Berry, as an alumnus, became one of its charter members. On January 25, 1963, William Berry, age 81, passed on to the ChaP· ter eternal. Upon his death, there passed from the seen~ one of Pi Kappa Phi's mos respected members. .__ ____ _ _ _ _ _,........,_

0 Each Pi Kappa Phi is e~· couraged to look for his VoltJJll. tary Dues statement in Septe 0. her and to respond with ge erous financial support.

WADE BOLT number one, he adopted another chapter, Omega, and even then his heart was not crowded out of affection for his fraternity.

Over the years, Brother Bolt has contributed constantly to the fraternity in ways too innumerable to mention. The present Executive Secretary would be vastly amiss if Brother Bolt's influence over his tenure was not mentioned.

For over three years he had enjoyed a weekly exchange of letters (often containing contributions to the Fraternity) which were inspiring and beneficial.

Brother Bolt definitely left his mark on Pi Kappa Phi, and it is just and fitting that his concluding words from his last correspondence complete this memorial-"Long live Pi Kappa Phi."

GRADUATES and USH are not two opposing thoughts. We who are alumni often look upon this Fraternity function as belonging only to the undergraduate members. This is definitely not true. Rush is the personal obligation of each Pi Kapp- graduate and undergraduate. If you are now a Pi Kapp you should be interested in insuring the future of your Fraternity. Its future is insured by the continuing influx of qualified pledges.

NTIL the day you die, your activities will put you in daily contact with young men who are either in college or who are at that moment making plans to attend. This contact may be with young men in your neighborhood, church, etc. The contact may be indirect; that is, through intermediate parties such as friends, relatives, business acquaintances or even their parents. Talk up Pi Kappa Phi at every opportunity to these individuals. Keep your Fraternity's name constantly before these potential Pi Kapps.

G is everybody's business. Regardless of your occupation or profession you are busy selling yourself each day. Your Fraternity is but an extension of yourself. Selling the young student Pi Kappa Phi should then be easy. Don't delay, start today selling Pi Kappa Phi. You will also be performing a service for these young men-a fraternity experience will help them develope into better adults.

OW often do we suddenly realize that an opportunity to be of service has just escaped us? This can be occurring at this moment. The boy next door-the newsboy-your business associate's son-the Eagle Scout in the next block-Your Own Son or Younger Brother. Somewhere around you there is a boy to whom you can present Pi Kappa Phi. Do it now, and don't forget to send us his name. A reply card is provided for your convenience.

THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI

KAPP.A

Are You a Pi Kapp? Or Were You One? It'~ surprising to note how many of our alumni refer to their tatermty affiliation in the past tense, as though their membership no .,;ger existed. Such comments as "I was a Pi Kapp at . . ." and . hen I was a member ... " are not uncommon. .. , For some reason, the obligations so eagerly assumed as new tnztzates, the oaths taken as lifetime vows, seem to fade in the minds of ~ernb~s after graduation. What was cherished by the undergraduate ten zs forgotten by the alumnus. h While no one will dispute the fact that fraternities exist primarily for the undergraduates, we f ould remember that membership is for life, and is not something that should become merely a oggy memory. . ~eople who actively support an organization 1zaturally feel a greater sense of identification llJzth zt than do those who contribute nothing. The same is true in a fratern ity. Not all of us can ;ffo~d to give large sums of money, and not all of us live close enough to an undergraduate chapter 0 gzve directly to them of our time and efforts.

But there are small things that all of us can do, things that will give us a sense of accomplishment and pride and help us to continue to feel a part of the Fraternity. One of these is to recommend prospective pledges to our chapters.

In doing this, we aid not only the chapters and the entire Fraternity through the chapters, but we rekindle our own interest in Pi Kappa Phi. Our renewed interest makes us proud, makes us men who say, "I am a Pi Kapp."

Let's keep this Fraternity one we can all be proud of, and maintain our individual pride by doing our share to helfJ the present undergraduates. Let's be good Pi Kapps!

Are you a Pi Kapp? Or were you one?
