Why are these young men not demonstrating, picketing, or burning their draft cards? They are average young Americans, and some would have you believe that, as average young Americans, this they should do. Instead, although from all areas of the United States, they are gathered together in the confines of their Fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, and are discussing in a very mature way "the college student and patriotism."

The next five issues of THE STAR AND LAMP will contain a continuing dialogue—undergraduates discussing various issues which concern them—and you!

Make the scene, and be where the action is commencing on page twelve of this issue.

From The Chaplain's Desk

The following is a contribution from Dr. Marshall C. Dendy, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and a Pi Kappa Phi. We hope to have other prominent Brothers share with you through this column from time to time.

A FRATERNITY CAN SERVE ...

By DR. MARSHALL

We were encouraged to pursue our studies, to exercivsee of unselfish leadership on the campuses of our respact colleges or universities and to manifest a sPirit .ty friendliness not only to the Brothers of our fraterol..., but to all of the members of the student bodies of ow respective colleges. to A fraternity can serve a most worthwhile purpose to its members. The misuse of a fraternity contributee.no the failure of men in college as well as after graduath'es from college. The proper use of the fraternity PreP,,doy r men for useful vocations in college and in the every experience of life.

the Pi Kappa Phi held its national convention J Nat1921 the University of California at Berkeley. At that time a majority of the Chapters were located in the south and southeast. Those of us who attended the Berkeley Convention from this area of the country rode on a chartered Pullman car. The car was made up in Atlanta. We traveled by Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, and across the Rockies to San Francisco. It was a wonderful experience to have been with fraternity brothers whom we had not seen previously but who had a kindred spirit with us. Among those present was Brother George Grant from the University of Alabama, If I remember correctly. He later became one of the national officers of the fraternity.

A fraternity ought to encourage excellence of schelli ship. This is an age that demands the very bloc. knowledge and of learning in every profession. Me rity in education is unworthy of any of us and Pr:sti ticularly of one who belongs to a fraternity. Educatl.,"d that is marked by scholarly research, diligent studY, critical thought should be the objective of every rile ber of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. of Our fraternity ought to encourage excellence A morals. Our country and our world is being threatelle; today by unethical practices, immoral behavior oeus,st loss of a sense of ethical values. The fraternity teo stand for the development of sound character.' fabric of society will be strong and durable only vyl! ethical values are sound and honorable.

Those who are given the privilege of securing a4lot : 07e lege education must be mindful of the conditions exist among great masses of our people. We must'We a social concern for the welfare of our fellowmarb.00.. must be ready to become involved in correcting tices, helping people to achieve dignity in life e„d 'd work, securing adequate education, making jobs en vocations open to all who are qualified to fill them ei.gi eradicating the ghettos that create frustration a give rise to violence and strife.

A The A fraternity offers experiences to be enjoye-• its fellowship of men of kindred minds and kindred sPlr;o can be one of the forces to encourage members 01 fraternity to live up to their full capacities in life.

On Christmas Day we were in Salt Lake City. We attended the services of worship at the Mormon Tabernacle. It was a wonderful experience to have been in that great auditorium, to have heard the splendid music by a great choir and to have listened to the messages brought to us at that time.

After the convention in Berkeley we went to Los Angeles and Hollywood for the Tournament of Roses football game. The game was played between the University of California and Washington and Jefferson College. California had a great football star by the name of Brick Mueller. California was doped to win the game.

The game resulted in a zero to zero tie. The most thrilling part about it was a long run for a touchdown, but the run was called back because one player was offsides.

As far back as 1921 the Tournament of Roses was a spectacular event.

We had a one-day stop at the Grand Canyon. It was in the dead of winter. There was snow on the ground.

We rode halfway down to the bottom of the Canyon, riding on mules shod with spikes to keep them from slipping. Even then it was a hazardous experience, particularly with one or two of the mules being quite frisky and at times kicking their feet over the side of the cliff.

As I remember the convention I think of the very fine addresses and talks that were given to the Brothers who were privileged to attend our national gathering.

LETTERS TO EDITOR Sirs:

My compliments on the cover theme of the May issue of The Star and Lamp. I will take particular pride in Passing this issue along to my Italian counterparts in this NATO Headquarters who are studying English.

It will provide a pictorial as well as verbal example that some American university students work construetrvely by discussing problems and formulating plans of action (District VIII Conclave at Illinois).

As my career precludes participation in an Alumni Chapter, The Star and Lamp is my sole contact with the Fraternity, and I am pleased to see the growth of Kappa Phi as evidenced within the pages of this laagazine.

Fraternally, CAPT. DAVID C. WILSON, U. S. Army Dear Pi Kapps, Thank you for the honor of being your National Rose Queen. Like all of the queens before me, I never dreamed it would happen to me.

When I came to college, I was coming to study, and, of course, to have a good time. I dated different people, but mostly Pi Kapps. I came to know all of them very soon, and I learned to have a high respect for them and for their fraternity.

I am now pinned to a brother of Pi Kappa Phi, and I have come a lot closer to their chapter. This past April at their annual Rose Ball, I was crowned Rose Queen of Beta Tau Chapter. That was an important beinning to a wonderful experience—being chosen National Rose Queen.

I have an interesting and exciting year ahead of me Working with and for Pi Kappa Phi. I hope to attend as many of the activities as possible and to get to know as many of you as I can. Whenever I can be of help to any of you, please let me know.

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, CAROL McKINLEY N O V E M B E R,

THEORETICAL vs PRACTICAL BROTHERHOOD A Proposal For Professional and Business Direction Through Pi Kappa Phi

By E. BARRY CRIM, Lambda '28

THEORETICAL brotherhood creates a myth1 ical relationship between men which results in no constructive growth or progress for those involved. For this reason, it is likely that future historians will pinpoint this type of mythical relationship as being one main cause for some of the frustrating problems in our society today.

Theoretical brotherhood is a facade or a "front" for those who wish to escape their responsibilities to those whom they've taken vows to help.

This type of relationship was completely unknown and would have been repulsive to our Pilgrim Fathers who founded our nation. They gave unstintingly of their time and personal efforts to help their deserving brothers who were living in fear and poverty to harvest their crops, build homes, and to upgrade their cultural life in general.

It was these efforts that cemented the "common tie" of brotherhood and self-preservation in the hearts of those pilgrims who were then laying the foundation for our nation's growth and progress. It is this type of brotherhood that is vitally needed today in all American college fraternities. And should Pi Kappa Phi create a broader and more meaningful program of practical brotherhood for both its alumni and undergraduates, its own growth and human rewards will be assured. In addition, it will have laid the cornerstone upon which other American fraternities can add to their strength and justification for existence, thereby repulsing the present attack on our entire college fraternity system.

Maybe here are some facts our alumni might wish to consider.

4

Twice A Freshman All college alumni were twice a freshman and usually were in great need of practical brotherhood in the form of guidance and counsell.ng during both of those vital periods of their life.

First, such assistance was needed when entered college, and it was given them by ec); lege counselors and, often later, by members the fraternity to which they were pledgee; Second, such assistance was greatly need° when they graduated or left college and Were about to enter a business or profession.

You, as an alumnus, no doubt received nounseling and guidance when you were a freshniel' e from your college counselors and also fre' your Pi Kapp brothers. But, when you Wer about to graduate and were ready to enter at business or profession, was there any comPoten and trusted group to whom you could go for Ind indoctrination and orientation into the Ayer e of commerce and industry, which you W.erk about to enter as a freshman? Do you now thins such advice and assistance could have been 01 benefit to you?

This practical guidance and assistance Wil2 not available to many of you, who are ner„ alumni; and it certainly is not available to TOT° of our younger brothers who now are readY enter their chosen careers.

1 Here is an area of great need in which 011,; Pi Kapp alumni chapters could conduct sell', nars designed to indoctrinate and orient 0.11e` younger brothers into this new phase of 114 they're about to enter. Such seminars could of everlasting value to many who are about4 graduate, and they could also become a nieJ°

thy

el:1 taken by Pi Kappa Phi toward the coninious rewards resulting from practical orotherhood. , To see the need for such seminars, one must ;)egin with the fact that about 30% of all college alumni, after graduation, "flounder" for a eriod of several years, going from job to job, ,1)..'ing to find a rewarding career. This is cerLamly no adverse reflection on their intelligence r ability. Rather, this condition quite often re°efts the highly complex conditions now prevalent in our system of commerce and industry, which space here will not permit me to discuss.

p

Subjects such as those below, if properly developed and projected in our alumni seminars, :1 11ild be of invaluable assistance to our Pi Kapp °rothers who, soon, will be taking their first reer "plunge" into that sometimes unpreetable sea known as commerce and industry: —Self-discipline and constructive success in life --Education for a business or profession is a process, not a destination --Developing ideas for professional or business success --How to get the job you want —How to keep moving up on your job or in your profession —Will you be crying or trying for advancement?

In addition to the advantages of such semi41 1tra previously mentioned, they would cer'ainly strengthen the ties between our undergraduate and alumni chapters.

Now, Our Displaced Older Brothers , Unless one has made a study of this question, ge would never realize the vast number of per4)rinel that is displaced each year by company Mergers, automation, changes in management, ecwporate liquidation, company politics, etc. The 41nual displacements from these and other sinlilar causes, that are beyond the control of Workers at, or near, middle-management in cor!iorations, amount to about 25% of all personnel 4t these levels. Naturally, under such conditions, tllany Pi Kapps are caught up in these frusrating swirls, too. So, are we as their brothers to try to help them relocate and move , 11P the ladder . . . thereby demonstrating our l'elief in practical brotherhood ... or, perhaps uecause of their present lack of affluence, are O going to forget them under the sham of 1neoretical brotherhood?

Here again, seminars combined with perchrial counseling from qualified members of our 1 41u1flni chapters could bring renewed hope and 11"v jobs to many of our displaced brothers. :10m/ever, it would be a serious ERROR to publeize these seminars as being conducted for

f

ILN OVEmBER, 1 9 6 7

those out of jobs or who are floundering; few who needed help would attend them under such circumstances. They should be truthfully publicized as a Pi Kappa Phi program of Career Motivation, and the subject matter of such seminars should be developed and projected so as to be of interest to our brothers at all levels of economic success.

Not only should Pi Kapps be invited to attend such seminars, but a public invitation should be made to their families, friends, and co-workers. The subject matter for discussion at these seminars could be quite similar to those subjects previously mentioned for our younger brothers just graduating. In both instances, the goals and the problems are often about the same.

In addition to Pi Kappa Phi achieving its prime mission of practical brotherhood from such seminars; of secondary importance, it is likely that the news media of any community would justifiably praise Pi Kappa Phi for its mature vision and for its greatly needed practical concept of the brotherhood of man. Such public relations would add prestige combined with a positive purpose to the life of any alumni chapter, and also it would cause many college freshmen to want to become a Pi Kapp.

Christ believed in practical brotherhood; He fed the masses. Our Pilgrim Fathers believed in practical brotherhood; united, and with compassionate efforts they helped each other, thereby founding our nation. Our forebears believed in practical brotherhood; we can all remember our parents demonstrating this fact many times in their lives. Now, the question: Do we as Pi Kapps today believe in this humane precept? Or, will we compromise our integrity and accept the facade of theoretical brotherhood?

It was a rewarding session for all who attended. You can get some idea of how things went from the candid pictures on these pages.

Subjects reviewed and discussed included leadership, chapter operations, rush, scholarship, alumni relations, finance, public relations, and a remarkable talk on ritual emphasis. All told, there were 233 delegates at Pi Kapp College, including 22 graduate members—from as far and Wide as Washington, Michigan, and Texas— who participated as instructors and panel members. It was a great session of a great fraternity. That's why those guys on the cover are smiling.

THE GREAT RACE

An all-girl crew against the river.

second annual regatta attracted publicity from as ft. fr° away as Florida and Wisconsin, and raft teams' several other colleges.

Said Regatta Chairman Larry Losch when he announced this year's race would be open to other c°!" lege crews: "The Lambda Chi group from Marshall ls. really going all out. They are going to have a helicoptel equipped with walkie talkies to coach their raft!"

A wild, hairy idea dreamed up by three Gamma Zeta Pi Kappa in a 1:30 a.m. bull session two years ago, has turned into what could become a national event— with any more 1:30 a.m. sessions.

The idea—originally created to promote a dance— spawned what is now known as the annual Oil Drum Regatta at West Virginia Tech in Montgomery, West Virginia. Now going into its third year, after the successful second annual Oil Drum Regatta last April, the event is sponsored by Pi Kappa Phi's Gamma Zeta chapter.

The race features a LeMans start at the falls on t,her Kanawaha River at Glen Ferris and a finish line nacie,,, the Montgomery bridge nine miles downstream. Thel; are rapids and white water near the starting line half a mile, and other hazards include shallows, a 11% row channel in spots, and bridge piers. It's a we' wild, woolly, screaming great time.

This year's regatta drew 60 rafts and more than 5,000 spectators, and a lot of good spirited publicity for the Pi Kappa.

The event has the endorsement of the Tech administration, civic groups in Montgomery, and the Tech student body. It has been opened already to college and non-college groups anywhere in the country. And the

Mary Jane Higgins, a crew member of the "Aan.ie_ Marie," last spring provided her own view of the le gatta.

They're off!

, "Our raft was a sorority raft and had to have at least 4 girls on it. We were building it in my back Yard, and all the fathers on the block felt sorry for es girls.

"They were all afraid that the raft would be too flinlBY and that we'd all get dunked. So, they'd come LOver at various times while we were building it. Each ulan added boards and braces to make the raft sturdy.

"When we finally got to Boomer, one of the two boys who was requested to be on our raft said, 'I can't take this anymore. Let me off here.' It took us an hour to get to the shore to let him off!

L "By the time they finished helping us, we had the eeaviest, clumsiest, most unmaneuverable raft you've ever seen!

"Poor Mother and Dad. They were all excited and were waiting to take our pictures. We had painted the 'Annie Marie' a bright turquoise. They finally saw us, but we never could get far enough downstream for them to take the pictures. We had to be towed in.

, "We were in the first heat. It took us so long to launch the raft that the second heat left before we did.

"And once we were in the river we got caught in a Whirlpool and went round and round for ages!

"The rapids didn't faze us. Neither did bumping into 4 Pier at the Silver Bridge. Our raft was too sturdy.

"We had 2 canoe paddles, but our raft was so high and so well built we couldn't reach the water with the paddles unless we practically fell in. So we were at the mercy of the current.

"It took us 6 hours to go 9 miles. Boy, did we get hungry! We had 3 peanut butter sandwiches and 3 candy bars on board for 6 people!"

Alas, the "Annie Marie," with an average of 1.5 mph won last place.

PATRIOTISM A Continuing Undergraduate Dialogue Or Young Pi Kappa Phi's Speak Out

In but a few years the majority of Americans will be under the age of twenty-five—a nation of young people. Yet, even today too many say they do not understand the current generation of youth. How can you understand them when you haven't spoken with one—when one communicates, one understands.

For the next issues of The Star and Lamp we will "listen" to undergraduates as they and an alumnus have a bull session. Various subjects will be discussed — RELEVANCY, PATRIOTISM, PARENTS, RELIGION — among others. For a start let's see what they have to say about PATRIOTISM. They come together from the West Coast—from the East Coast—from the North and South. They are representative of young Pi Kapps. Listen to them — think along with them — understand them—you cannot afford not to, for this is where the action is!

Then the statement is made—"I don't think patriotism and the college student are relevant, one to the other."

MITCHAM — They are relevant — students should express themselves.

The scene: living room of a Pi Kappa Phi Chapter House—it could be any chapter, at any school, at any state.

EVENBECK — I agree, for the student is only a few years away from the position of leadership in his country. His patriotism or lack of it now is going to greatly affect his country in the future years.

The statement is made—"Flag waving is passe! Patriotism is not an area of concern for college students."

ANGLIN—If you don't think they are relevant, look at what has happened in other areas of the world. I would guess that the vast majority of the Latin American countries' revolutions that we have seen since 1900 have been inspired and planned to a large extent within the college and university community.

CHANDLER—The topic may be overworked but the subject should be of great concern. A great majority of college students fear the Communist countries but have been warned of their danger so much that their senses have been dulled. This dulling effect has caused a lack of inspiration and interest in patriotism.

KAPLAN—I feel that this is most definitely an overworked topic but it is an area of concern. Flag waving to the extent of "my country right or wrong" may be passe but the college students as a group can still feel deeply when the National Anthem is played.

HIRES—In any group of people there will be those who feel strongly emotional about such things as patriotism. In reality most young People value their lives more than abstract emotional qualities such as this.

PALMER—I agree, but in a different way.

Speaking as a veteran, it makes me shudder to think of what our military would face if most of the college students had a "I don't give a - - - - attitude." The vast majority of your military officers are former college students.

CHANDLER—I think we all agree that they are relevant, and how could we assume any other position after viewing the draft card burners, anti - Vietnam demonstrators, and other similar activities on practically all campuses. I would definitely say that patriotism and our college youth have a great deal of relevancy, one to the other.

WILLIS—Adults used to be proud of the flag, and houses and business establishments would display a flag on the Fourth of July. This summer for curiosity I drove all over my town, and if I remember correctly there were only three houses in town displaying a flag. If I were to adopt the attitude of my townspeople I Would not be very patriotic.

PALMER—I don't care if a student thinks he is being patriotic when he burns his draft card, or flag. To me he just proves he is a freak Of society. However, he is no more a freak than the student who has to toast "God, Mother, and Country" every time he lifts his beer.

REGENSDORF—Yes, but the real patriotism is prevalent within the vast middle group You speak of. You are in that group, and you take a reasoned look at current events and form an opinion on each facet individually. Patriotism is seldom either constant agreement or disagreement but rather a give and take. I think that you and I belong to this third type of per1:)n who still shows what might be called "class1c" patriotism.

"Is it a matter of concern that the college student is of an age where he questions everything and only accepts answers grounded in reality?"—gets into the discussion.

COUPER—Of course these derogatory actions call attention to the subject, but they are newsworthy only because they are so bizarre.

REGENSDORF—It is true that we lean on reality, but what is so unreal about patriotism?

I do believe that a patriotism in which everything was taken for granted, with no doubt or inquiry, would really be hurting.

"Has our generation changed radicallii from prior generations?"—is asked.

KAPLAN—Yes, I think the college student demands proof.

HIRES—What more proof, or reality, do you need than the draft?

MITCHAM—I think that all of us go through or have gone through this show me stage in life. Personally, this does not concern me too much because most individuals do grow out of it.

PALMER — Life consists of questioning reality, student or not a student. At this moment he can express his questioning attitude by simply asking "In reality, are we fighting a war in Vietnam, or, is this just a police action?"

EVENBECK—How can the student be a true patriot if he does not have the right to question such as Palmer has indicated?

ANGLIN—This is only partially true, for I don't think that I can accept that the average college student bases all of his resolutions on reality. I think the spirit to search for truth is and always will be there, but it isn't infallible.

This search develops patterns of thought, and these patterns will formulate his lifetime loyalty, or lack of same, to this nation.

CHANDLER—I'm not so sure that students have to find answers based on reality. Most of us want to find our own answers, and blind unthinking loyalty to anything is highly detrimental. Patriotism is something that each person should examine for himself, then stand up for the conclusions he reaches.

REGENSDORF — What hasn't changed in the past fifty years, from morals to war?

MITCHAM—I don't really think so, there are just a lot more young people to do things, and communication media can carry the message to so many more in a lesser time than before.

REGENSDORF—I agree that the increased and improved communications has had lts effect, for more people now know more than ever before, and now have greater choice between acceptance or rejection based upon the knowledge available to them.

HIRES—Which generations are you referring to? If you are facing the necessity of personally defending your country then your concern about patriotism would be greater than for the individual in that generation which faced only peace.

PALMER—I don't think our generation changed, for patriotism is here with us as.in past generations, but the mass communication media has changed us falsely. Reporters would rather disregard college patriotism, when theY can expound a hell-raising subversive ramble which is much more entertaining to those watching the "tube."

KAPLAN—If there has been a change it is in the fact that today's youth has more knowledge available than past generations.

The question is asked—"But aren't we dramatically illustrated by the derogatory actions of a few who give a bad name to the rest of us?"

WILLIS—Everywhere the average citizen turns he sees where these few are doing these things, and it is only natural for them to assume that all college students are of this thought.

The news media really eats this stuff up.

CHANDLER—Freedom is a big word in America today, and a great number of students feel they must express their freedom openly regardless of the cause they support or however menacing it may be.

WILLIS—The population as a whole does not appear to be as patriotic as past generations, therefore, I think the college students today, when compared to the general public, are just as patriotic as any other generation.

COUPER—I have discussed this at home, and my father says that when he was in school the same mood of apprehension prevailed.

EVENBECK—Students in the 30's said that they would never wear a uniform — yet, they did!

The question is asked—"How does patriotism affect the fraternity's sphere of influence?"

WILLIS—I don't think they conflict, for the fraternity should use every bit of its influence to make men sincere flag wavers.

REGENSDORF—I think the changes occurring in Pi Kappa Phi are a sign of our intent to improve and increase our sphere of influence.

An installation banquet and dance were held at the FowlerVan Orman Hotel. Brother F. B• Harrell was toastmaster at the banquet and called for toasts from Professor Munroe of Fur" due, Brother Grant, Upsilon Archon Nemoyer, and Omega, Archon House. The closing toast from R. Stanley Coulter, dean of men at Purdue (where two buildings now bear his narne), was a tribute to fraternities and the fraternity way of life.

With its new name in 1922, Omega chapter also gained a, new house. The chapter move°, to a house just a block and a hall from the campus, much to tile joy of winter weary students who had hiked to class each daY from the original house. In 1929 the chapter moved to its present location at 330 N.

HE roots of Omega Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi were planted in December 1920 when a Bible study group of the local Christian Church formed a fraternity at Purdue University. They called it Alpha Gamma Beta, the Greek initials A.C.B. meaning A Christian Brotherhood.

T

R. G. Tilton, E. B. McCormick, W. B. Harper, and later Rev. M. Knight, the Bible study leader, were the charter members of Alpha Gamma Beta. By September 1921 they had received recognition from the Purdue faculty and had moved into a house on Sixth Street in Lafayette, Indiana, over a mile from the campus.

In January 1922, Wade Bolt of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity visited the brothers of Alpha Gamma Beta to tell them of Pi Kappa Phi. He made a dynamic impact on every brother of the local, and

by April 1922, Alpha Gamma Beta petitioned Pi Kappa Phi for membership. The petition that had been guided by Wade Bolt was approved.

IN THE

ANTARCTIC THERE'S A BLUFF NAMED AFTER A PI KAPP

1'1 HE Secretary of the Interior has Âą recently approved and promulgated a list of names for geographic features in Antarctica. These names were submitted to the Secretary by the United States Board on Geographic Names, an interdepartmental group that studies names of geographic features on a worldwide basis and submits its conclusions to the Secretary. The Board acted on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names composed of experts in Antarctic history, geography, and science.

Once a name has been approved, its use becomes binding on all governmental agencies.

Names in Antarctica are of diverse origins. Some are descriptive, such as Cathedral Peaks; others are commemorative, as, for example, Departure Rocks. Ships that have participated in supply missions or exploration are another source. Many are named after individuals who have taken part in one or another of the United States programs related to the area.

Typical of such names is Anthony Bluff, a distinctive rock outcrop along the side of Mulock Glacier, one of Antarctica's great ice streams. Located at 79°06' South latitude, 160005 East longitude, about 600 miles from the South Pole, Anthony Bluff was named NOVEMBER, 1967

for Maj. Alexander E. Anthony, Jr., Tau, United States Air Force.

Maj. Anthony was connected with the Antarctic program from 1962 thru 1966, first on the staff of the United States Antarctic Projects Officer, and then with the staff of the Commander, United States Naval Support Force Antarctica. He visited Antarctica in 1963, and is recorded as being the eleventh Air Force person ever to visit the South Pole.

A 1956 graduate of North Carolina State, where he was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi's Tau Chapter, Alex entered active duty in June 1956 and, prior to his assignment in Washington, D. C., with the Antarctic program, was assigned to the Air Force Special Weapons Center, Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, New Mexico,for five years.

In January 1967, he was transferred to the 731st Radar Squadron, Sundance AFS, Wyoming, the site of the Air Force's only power-producing nuclear reactor, which produces all the power needed to supply heat and electricity for the radar site. He is the Nuclear Safety Officer of the site.

Alex and his wife, the former Kathleen Burke of Albuquerque, N. M., and their three children reside at the Air Force Station.

IOWA PI KAPPS' FAMILY TREE GROWS The Pi Kappa Phi family tree grows strong at Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. It started with James Scott Brown, 1301 Ashworth Road, West Des Moines, Iowa, city engineer for West Des Moines, being initiated on October 4, 1929, as the 44th initiate of Alpha Omicron. He was instrumental in the colonizing of Alpha Omicron Chapter.

Robert Oscar Brown of Kansas City, Kansas, distribution manager there for Standard Oil of Indiana, was initiated on May 24, 1935, as the 93rd initiate of Alpha Omicron. He was instrumental in the purchasing of the present chapter house of Alpha Omicron. His son, Robert Scott Brown, and presently a student

at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was initiated as the 414t./1 initiate of Alpha Omicron. 1118 lovely daughter, Susan Brown, will keep it all in the family In December with her marriage to Daryl A. Pleggenkuhle, the 409th initiate of Alpha Omicron.

Daryl's brother, Ronald R. Pleggenkuhle, is the 440th initiate and current undergraduate member of Alpha Omicron.

Now Susan is being instructed well before her marriage t° Daryl that a legacy is expected.

This would give the Pi KapP-t°be a dad, two uncles, a grand: father, and a great uncle in PI Kappa Phi. Where could you find greater devotion than this?

YOU! YOUR Pi Kappa Phi Voluntary Dues help develop the complete college man—by sending undergraduate Pi Kapps to the Fraternity's semi-annual leadership school, Pi Kapp College, for instance.

Exciting and constructive things are happening in Pi Kappa Phi because graduate members like you are giving time, knowledge, experience, and money. During the past year Voluntary Dues funds enabled the Fraternity to expand its operations to three new campuses; establish colonies at four more; develop a new and challenging program of work-study employment for field secretaries who travel and assist undergraduate chapters; employ a Director of Alumni Affairs to develop greater dialogue between undergraduate and graduate members; activate the National Chaplain position for the spiritual and moral counsel of undergraduates.

The more who give to the Voluntary Dues campaign, the more the fraternity can accomplish. It's rewarding work. Again a record number of Pi Kapps are finding this true. Join with them and mail your check now!

John D. Carroll, the thirteenth initiate of Sigma Chapter at the University of South Carolina, was initiated on November 28, 1910. He was an educator, attorney, and above all a Pi Kappa Phi par excellence. He gave of his time, his material possessions, and of himself to our Fraternity. To those who knew him he was the epitome of brotherhood and of Pi Kappa Phi. At the time of his funeral, his wife remarked: "Half of John's life was Pi Kappa Phi." Certainly this type of devotion and love needs to be perpetuated. It is for this reason that

an appeal is being made on the behalf of John D. Carroll's memory.

Brother Carroll was deeply interested in the academic endeavors of his younger brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. He was one of the instigators of the Fraternity's educational foundation, the Pi Kappa Phi Memorial Foundation.

He served as its first Chairman and was on the Board of Trustees at the time of his death. He had great visions of this Foundation's value to Pi Kappa Phi. The Foundation monies are used for scholarship and counselling to individual Pi Kappa and for books for the libraries of the chapters of Pi Kappa Phi.

One trip home from a camping trip last summer, 800 miles long, made in a single day of daylight driving, did not weary him, he recalls, adding "I enjoyed every turn in the road."

Camping for a man who travels on wheels involves some special gear, Petty says, but most important to him is Tarbaby, who has only one eye but considerable affection. "I'm her seeing eve people; she's my walking legs dog," he says.

Writing and camping are only two of Petty's hobbies. Currently he is deep in a gardening project at his recently-purchased home, 370 Myers St. S., on the lower reaches of Fairmount Hill, where he is endeavoring to plot and plant for perpetual bloom.

IS A PRINCIPLE INVOLVED? Pi Kappa Phi Undergraduate Chapters Think So

When it was asked of fraternities that they put away childish things it was right and just. It was wise for fraternities to respond in a positive way. In fact, fraternities have always responded positively to proper demands made of them by society.

What demands are proper?

That which may constitute a • proper or just demand to one, may be a violent infringement of the rights and princiNes of another. Pi Kappa Phi has adjusted many phases of its activities when requested to do so by university authorities. Yet again the demands continue. Three major universities Where Pi Kappa Phi has chapters have instructed our chapters that they cannot exist on their campus unless the chapter changes its 4tethods of accepting members to meet the deSires of the school.

Does a fraternal organization, through a democratic process, have a right to openly disNss and arrive at its own policy for determinlog procedures to be followed in granting membership to the brotherhood? Do the undergraduate chapters have a right to select, through the democratic process at the Supreme Chapter, their methods or procedures to follow in the Veration of the undergraduate chapter as part of a larger body?

The National Council of Pi Kappa Phi sought the opinions of the undergraduate members of the Fraternity at the recent leadership school, P1 Kapp College. There the fifty-six chapters !)resent unanimously approved the following 'consensus" resolution: "Be it noted that it is the sense of the

gLovEMBER, 1 9 6 7

delegates, both undergraduate and alumni, at Pi Kapp College, 1967, That, the action of the administration of any University in attempting to restrict the powers of a chapter of this Fraternity to apply any criteria in its selection of members is unwarranted, unnecessary, and unconstitutional. That, upon any action by said university to punish this chapter for failure to obey these restrictions, it is the sense of the delegates that the National Council should take all necessary steps, both administrative and legal, to protect this chapter's, and the fraternity's, right of association."

The undergraduate chapter at Cornell University, one of the affected institutions, has this fall unanimously approved the following resolution: "WHEREAS, Psi Chapter of The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, located at Cornell University, desires to maintain its affiliation with our National Fraternity.

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Cornell University has enacted legislation potentially detrimental to the existence of Psi Chapter at said institution.

WHEREAS, Psi Chapter, due to its turnover of personnel, cannot efficiently carry out a program to alter such legislation, RESOLVED, Psi Chapter of The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity formally requests that the National Council of The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity assist Psi Chapter with all necessary steps, both administrative and legal, to protect and insure this chapter's and this fraternity's right of existence.

This motion was duly presented at a regular chapter meeting on the eleventh day of September, 1967, and received the unanimous approval of Psi Chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity."

Shortly after Psi Chapter approved its resolution, the alumni housing corporation of that chapter, with approximately thirty alumni members present met. After hearing the situation and reviewing the chapter resolution, the Psi Chapter alumni corporation unanimously approved the resolution and offered its assistance, to include financial support, to the National Council.

At this time the National Chancellor of Pi Kappa Phi is studying the legal ramifications and constitutional involvement. Prior to the next National Council meeting, his report and action taken will be reviewed by the National Council, and then a future course of action will be determined. The National Council intends to support the request of this chapter, and others requesting assistance, to the fullest extent possible.

PI KAPPA PHI IN THE BEGINNING A New Record of Interest to All Pi Kapps Rare is the organization having its early history available in the spoken words of those who were intimately involved. In the case of a fraternity this is even more unusual. Pi Kappa Phi is fortunate to have a remarkable record available, recording for all to hear the beginning days of the Fraternity in the words of two of its three original Founders.

In 1961, just prior to the death of Founder Mixon, Brother Richard Young of Charlotte, N. C., went to Charleston, S. C., equipped with a tape recorder. There he visited the two surviving Founders, L. HARRY MIXON and SIMON FOGARTY. During this visit he interviewed the two, questioning them of their recollection of the creation and early days of the Fraternity they founded.

Dick Young, himself a significant part of the story of Pi Kappa Phi, was at that time a reporter for the Charlotte News and a quite capable interviewer. For a number of years in the 1930's and 1940's, Brother Young was the editor of The Star and Lamp. He has always remained interested

and involved in the affairs of Pi Kappa Phi, and his assistance in a multitude of areas has been valuable throughout the years.

This new record is of the long playing variety, and is most unusual in its contents. The reminiscing of these two fine men, both in their eightieth year, is remarkably clear and understandable. The soft Southern accent, the touch of Charleston, the pride and love they express, all combine to allow you to relive "Pi Kappa Phi In The Beginning."
