Add: Contributing Editor To the staff of the Star and lAmp has been added the name of Joe Duncan, Iowa State, and he proceeded to earn the position and nomenclature with something of a vengeance, as this issue points out.

The cover picture came from his Jiles; the interesting story on the police administration school of Michigan State is from his pen; newspaper clippings were forwarded and he is never without some good ideas and tips for improvement. (An occasional screwy thought raises its head among the sound ones, but that is the inalienable prerogative of any journalist, including ye ed.)

Joe Du,ca, Printers devil at eight years (a devil of other sorts before then if you believe his mother), composition room foreman, editor of weeklies, editor of the Iowa Agriculturist of Iowa State college, a good contributor to the Star and lAmP as an undergraduate, now bulletin editor of Michigan State college after several years of the same work with Iowa State college, it may be veritably said of Joe that he is a dyed in the ink journalist and publicity man, and we are glad to have his recognized capabilities at the service of the fraternity's publication.

His hobby is collecting typographical errors of unusual twists made by publications, and his collection may be found the source of much belly laughter and an occasional startling amazement, even for the hardened.

His drive at present is to enliven professional farm bulletins and he is doing just that, although we would hate to have to put life into some of the subjects of the published bulletins, as a discussion of internal parasites of horses, for instance.

'

Valedictory

J.

IN a few weeks, upon various campuses throughout the country, will occur the formal ceremonies of Commencement. On almost all the programs will appear a valedictory by some member of the graduating class.

It has always been a signal honor to be the student who says "goodbye." This spokesman, in accordance with ancient custom, will express his appreciation to the faculty for what they have done for his classmates, and also will voice their joint resolution to be worthy sons of alma mater.

In retrospect, the writer feds this valedictory ceremony could be made of more value to the institution if the note were not "goodbye" but rather "au revoir." There should be no element of finality in the parting.

In some instances certain college alumni associations, appreciating this, make it a rule to be represented at Commencement, and invite and welcome the class into the new fellowship with the loyal alumni supporters of the college.

Has our fraternity ever taken part in the emotional experience represented by the valedictory? It seems to me it is too good an opportunity to be lost.

Our membership is for life, of course, but life has many phases.

When the active becomes an alumnus he is entering a new phase.

Would it not be appropriate for the chapter alumni or the nearest alumni chapter, through its representatives, to meet with the active chapter at its last meeting of the college year, and welcome the brothers of the graduating class into the new relationship?

This would be a reminder that PI KAPPA PHI still claims his interest as an alumnus, and in all probability would secure his loyalty in the days to come.

Police Administration Goes Collegiate NY

By Joe Duncan, Iowa State

AI\ course ONE whose conception of a police training .L"\ i b d1 f fi . s ase argely upon "the flat-foot cop" consideo bl etlan is likely to have his ideas changed Alpha ~ Y af~er inspecting the training which two 1 rninistr t. eta Pt Kapps are undergoing in Police Ad' 111gan · State co1lege. This is because those i a ton h at M tc Admin~ tc ~rge of the program insist that the Police ts ration g d . h . fi f . . not on! b ra ~ate In IS ve years o trammg capture\ e versed In modern methods of criminal thorough ut be ~ broadly educated person with a }f in the sciences . arold groundmg C more reyts, a junior, and Clare Jensen a sopho. the' care amo ng t h e 70-o dd students now' enrolled tn having ~~se.

With th ~· of.

The course is unusual bethrough t~he exc~llent facilities offered students here Proxirn· e medmm of campus laboratories and the and p tty of the state police barracks with its apparatus trame . d In . crtme . d etect10n . an d cnmma . . 1 app rehersonnel . enston.

After residence study at the college for the equivalent of three years and one term, the aspiring crime worker serves an 18 months' "interneship" under the immediate direction of the state police. For at least six months of this time the student lives at the barracks in East Lansing, west of the college f oat b a!1 stad'mm.

Establishment of the course was the outgrowth of a feeling on the part of members of the state crime commission, executives of the state police and certain members of the college staff that the proximity of the college to the state police barracks gave an excellent opportunity for the joint training of young men in crime prevention and control. A f ter an interval spent in drawing up various proposed plans and holding conferences to discuss ways and means of establishing the course, Donald J. Bremer, a member of Delta Sigma Phi, was appointed to organize, under the supervision of the Applied Science division, the special courses. Bremer, a member of the Michigan bar, had received several years of practical police work.

The student in Police Administration receives a broad and fundamental training during the first three years. Besides the usual year of English and mathematics, he receives a year of chemistry, physics, and physiology. Bacteriology and hygiene are included in the science curriculum, as are also economics, soci.

geography, history, political science, public speaking, journalism, and history. In order that the student may be trained in military discipline and be familiar with military organization he is required to participate in four years of military science. His military training leads to a reserve commission of second lieutenant.

In connection with the student's thorough training in basic sciences and other studies, his physical self is by no means neglected. The young men are not admitted to the course unless they pass the exacting physical tests prescribed. For instance, an entrant must be at least average or above in height and weightthus, the student would necessarily need to be about 5 feet, 10 inches in height and weigh approximately 160 pounds. Any tendency to flat feet, poor hearing, defective vision, symptoms of heart difficulties or abnormal blood pressure would bar the candidate from taking the course or would eliminate him from the course were he already enrolled. During his preparation the student receives instruction in wrestling, boxing, swimming, and jiujitsu. Four of the five members of the senior class are on the Michigan State college football team.

When the Police Administration student takes up residence in the state police barracks, his daily schedule, with the exception of the classes in military science which he attends at the college, is under the supervision of members of the state police. He receives considerable work in the police laboratories, familiarizing himself with technique that will aid him in his vocation. Instruction in finger printing, photography, firearms identification, explosion and fires, communications and radiology is taught, as is work in safety and traffic, crime reporting, criminal investigation and first aid. A course in legal medicine also is presented.

Then, too, the rookie may be placed with a regular squad on the road.

The type of practical training and experience given the student fits him for openings in federal and state service and in the police systems of larger cities. In

J. Harvey Sand and John Carlson, Jr., Alpha Xi, Join the Chapter Eternal

reported with a feeling of sadness and sympathy to the families left behind that two men of Alpha Xi have gone to the Chapter Eternal. J. Harvey Sand died suddenly on January 4, following a stroke. John Carlson passed away on December 13, 1936, as the result of injuries sustained in a motor accident. It is a strange coincidence that these two became brothers in Psi Sigma, the local w,Pjch became Alpha Xi chapter within one month of each other, and twenty-one years later go "Home" within approximately the same interval.

Brother Sand received his E.E. degree from Brooklyn Poly in 1915. During the war he was a lieutenant in the air service. He was for years one of the brothers who shouldered the wheels of progress at Alpha Xi

Shall I Become a Lawyer?

National President Albert Meisel, successful attorney in law's tnost crowded field, answers "yes" if preparation and talents are adequate to meet the keenest type of competition

1\T~i;R before in the history of our country has l. 'J

It 'is to offer a endeavoanswer to this question that the writer will cent su r to present the situation as revealed by a reciation tvey of the New York County lawyers' assoTh ·fi · e rst q · Ing a f ~est10n that occurs to the student in choosess!O .

In New York, for New Y~r~n ~he stat.e it is 219 per 100,000, and in this more ctty ~s high as 264 per 100,000. To make Persons . graphtc, there is one lawyer for every 763 German In the United States; while in France and Bow Yd one for every 4545 people.

The remaining nine per cent of single practitioners and 35%o% of members of law firms received more than $10 000 , .

To recapitulate, these figures indicate that more than one-half the lawyers in New York city earn below $3,000 per annum; 42lf2% below the respectable minimum family subsistence level of $2,500 per annum; one-third below $2,000; one-sixth below $1,000 and almost a tenth at or less than $500 per annum.

It would be unfair, however, to consider the profession only from the point of financial reward. To those who are interested in public service, and who desire political preferment, a legal education is well nigh indispensable. In almost every community of the United States you will find the men with legal education leading the political movements of the d ay an d serving in all sorts of administrative capacities. To be an efficient pubic servant a legal training is absolutely essential.

The picture would not be completed, however, without noting that the field of legal employment has considerably narrowed in the last few years. Workmen's compensation laws have removed a large number of negligence cases; casualty companies carry on the defense of many accident claims; title companies in the cities do most of the title searching and so on; and trust companies in some places have cut into the estate and fiduciary management business.

To offset this, it may be stated that there is another important field open to lawyers, which during the last twenty years has yielded to many of them a satisfactory financial reward ; i.e., business. There are numerous examples of lawyers who have gone into commercial enterprises and, with the advantage of their legal training, found the road to success easy.

In sum, there is probably no other profession that offers so many opportunities for public service and livelihood to the man of energy. The man who is not well grounded, however, cannot expect to do well, since competition is essentially keen.

To the men considering a professional career in law, in spite of all that has been said, the author states, "There is always room for another good man."

Council Convenes in Productive Meeting By

J.

H. McCann, Drexel

T

HE second meeting of the national council since the eighteenth Supreme Chapter was a highly enjoyable, productive gathering in Richmond on April 3-4. All members of the council and the central office staff were present as the business of the meeting began at 9:30 Saturday morning and continued until 5 :40 Sunday afternoon.

These gatherings of the council are always noteworthy events, and this one was no exception. A great deal of business was transacted. In all, some 28 formal resolutions touching many aspects were adopted. These actions came only after lengthy discussions of pros and cons.

The more important actions are reported here.

Following the presentation by National President Meisel of an informal report on the work of Councillors-at-large George A. Odgers (far west), E. Richard Blaschke (mid-west), Willis D. Wood (Canada), and Andrew H. Borland (North Carolina), a motion was entertained and passed authorizing Brother Odgers to make such personal visits he deems essential in particular cases to further his work in the west.

The completed discussion on expansion resulted in a notation of total of 15 casual and definite contacts.

In answer to Brother Odger's question as to the council's attitude towards class "A" teachers colleges

Wanted Prospective change in personne l of the Central Office induces the Nationa l Council to request those interested in, and quali fied for, the following positions to fi le their applications with the Council through Central Office.

Assistant Secretary Recent graduate to perform a considerable amount of traveling and to carry a portion of the Central Office routine. Accounting knowledge required, also fair proficiency in typing, with a background of successfu l leadership in an undergraduate chapter. Experience on campus publications or other journalistic experience desirable but not essential.

Part-time Editor Alumnus, well grounded in journalism, with adequate spare time to prepare copy and edit the four annua l issues of the magazine of the fraternity. Payment is a fixed sum for each issue. Amount of applied time estimated required for each issue is about forty hours.

George Coulter Florida will direct the XlXth Supreme Chapter at Jacksonville, Fla., in 1938.

tl

as fields for expansion a resolution was adopted d!' approving the installation of chapters of the fraterntf in such schools as a general policy. It was stated, hO~ ever, that in the case of a class "A" teachers colleft which has changed or is in the process of changing~ educational status to that of a liberal arts college,~ council would be willing to consider the question. opinion of Councillor-at-large Odgers as to "'~ should be the attitude of Pi Kappa Phi towards :e~c·, ers colleges in the West, together with detailed 10 °' 10 mation about any institution of this character in wh he may be particularly interested, was asked. h The national president presented a report frorll t Finance Committee showing that the cost of the seca~ ties now in the Star and Lamp fund was $31,709.3, that their market value on November 30, 1936 '': $32,703.82, and that their book value on March 1937 was $32,724.24. There was also approxirll~te~ $500 in cash awaiting investment. A vote of th~ 0 1 was extended to the committee for their continued t forts on behalf of the fraternity. The council expres;.concurrence with and approval of the financial p0 ~ outlined in the committee's letter of transmittal. h A motion was made and passed authorizing that~ necessary steps be taken to change the date of ·JII nineteenth' Supreme Chapter meeting in JacksonV1 Florida, from the third week in August 1938, as voth at the eighteenth Supreme Chapter in Seattle, to t last week in December 1938.

ing worked toward the promotion of normal contacts between pledges and actives.

Introduced by Executive Secretary Howard Leake, National President Albert W. Meisel made a short speech upon alumni organizations. Pointing out that the average alumnus takes little interest in his fraternity until his home is well established, Brother Meisel showed that the program of a successful alumni chapter must appeal to the man of normal activity.

Using the New York Alumni Chapter as an example, he outlined a program that has proven very satisfactory there. Finally, he discussed the chapter paper as the connecting link between the undergraduate and the alumnus.

Last speaker of the afternoon was District Archon Reginald Price who briefly reviewed the history and experiences of the Charlotte Alumni Chapter.

After an hour intermission the conclave was reassembled at a banquet in the Fountain Room of the Washington Duke. It was there that the fun began.

We ate "It's a horse," "Lulu Hipps," and "No soap," drank "muddy water," and listened to the national officers' jokes.

Councillor-at-large "Buster" Borland (also adviser to Mu and, with Howard Leake; the organizing power behind the conclave) commended Epsilon's spirit as evidenced by chartering a bus and driving 150 miles to the conclave; and presented, on behalf of Mu, a

Joe Commander to Head Student Body at Presbyterian Next Year

f, 11

tl

By Eldred MacLeod, Presbyterian N THE annual student elections at Presbyterian College on March 9, 10, 11, Joe Commander, member of the junior class, was elected president of the student body for the coming year. Brother Commander is past secretary of Beta Chapter and has served the fraternity well since he became a pledge in the fall of 1934. He is friendly, modest, though not shy, a good sport, and extremely well liked on the campus.

Since entering Presbyterian in 1934, Joe has received numerous campus honors. Soon after his freshman year began he was elected president of his class, an honor much sought after among freshmen. During the spring of that same school year he was a great asset to the track team, setting a new state freshman record in the half-mile run. Also in that spring he was elected to the student council to represent the rising sophomore class. He was a member of the freshman baseball team and pitched in a number of games that year. · Joe was initiated into the fraternity in September,

1935, and was elected secretary the following sprin~ ea•· He has served on the Y.M.C.A. cabinet for two Y ll and his work in that line has been of great help ~ the organization.

ROANOKE'S CHAPMANS

By Neil Gilbert, Roanoke If you were to stop in the town of Salem, Virginia, and ask one of its staid citizens, "Do you know where I can find the Chapman brothers?," in all probability his answer would be, "Oh, yes ... old man Ira's boys ... and a fine lot, too. Well, they're scattered about all around here. W. C. left here about an hour ago, said he was going up to Pulaski to see about helping some of those youngsters up there get an education. BenBen, I guess, is over there in his office writing a political speech. Frank just went into the treasurer's office.

Nick, I haven't seen him today. He sells those electric ice boxes ... sells a sight of 'em, too. Wes is probably out in the country someplace 'praisin' a farm, and Ned, he's up at Blacksburg, you know, teaching those cadets how to figure."

About two miles west of Salem, sitting in the midst of considerable acreage and surrounded by original locusts and maples, is "Bird Haven," a quiet brick structure with a spacious porch that fronts on the south. It was here in this serene setting that the Chapman brothers spent their early days and where their dad used to go to the foot of the stairway mornings and shout: "Get up, boys ... the sun's an hour high. . . . My goodness . . . how d'you think we're ever goin' to get anything done?"

So throughout their youth the boys tilled the soil and watered the stock, taking time out of course to establish the Chapman name high iri 4-H club work and to collect their share of honors at various local and state agricultural events. But as time moved on, each took his turn entering the portals of Roanoke College, and, subsequently in turn, the ceremonies of Pi Kappa Phi.

9

During these years, in the quiet, warm evenings, their Dad would sit on the spacious porch, look out across the valley toward the southern ridge, and ponder the time when the boys-at least one of them-would return and take over the management of "Bird Haven." But at college the boys got a lot of newfangled ideas in their heads; and as each finished, he pushed his way into the swirl of this complex life, seeking his fortune.

And now, "old man" Ira says that about the only time they ever manage to get back to the "old home place" these days is on Sundays for dinner. However, the boys seem to be doing all right for themselvesa peep at their vocations distinctly emphasizes it.

Walter C., "W. C.," is Southwestern Virginia supervisor of the National Youth Administration with headquarters in Roanoke. Carroll S., "Nick," is top-ranking salesman for the Appalachian Electric Power Co., Roanoke. W. Frank, "Abie," is clerk and treasurer of the town of Salem. Benjamin E., "Ben," is a successful young attorney of Salem and a member of the House of Delegates from Roanoke county. R. E. L., "Ned," is an instructor in mathematics at Virginia Polyted1nic Institute, Blacksburg. And Wesley M., "Wes," is an inspector and assistant secretary-treasurer of the Roan-

Sydney W. Martin Assists Georgia Chapter N THE person of Sydney Walter Martin of Tifton, Georgia, Lambda has the distinction, we feel sure, of having the youngest faculty adviser of any chapter within the fraternity. Walter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Martin and was born in 1911 in Tifton.

Brother Martin attended Tifton high school and had the distinction of being the highest honor student in the 1929 graduating class. While in high school he took part in athletics, was president of the senior class, and was voted to be the best all-round student in his senior year. After finishing Tifton High he enrolled at Furman University and, there, made quite an enviable record, even though finishing in three years. During his career at Furman he was business manager of the glee club, managing editor of the Homet, the university news-weekly, member of the Adelphian Literary society, honor student, and student assistant to the alumni secretary. In addition to these activities he held several offices in Delta Chapter of our fraternity.

Leaving Furman University in 1932, Walter became instructor in history and director of athletics in the high school at Palatka, Florida. He maintained this position most efficiently and successfully for the two following years. In 1935 he received his M.A. degree from the University of Georgia. He was appointed

That question is asked mainly in jest but we have an idea that there is an underlying seriousness. We do so many things that we are often at loss to answer adequately in a vocal way.

Some Sort of Record be told in sessions when the subject As is that oftomiles travelled per dollar, Irving R. A STORY

Nilsen, Illinois, can offer an experience which is difficult to beat.

Last summer he and a boon companion decided upon the spur of the moment to make a tr.i p .to .E~rope.

They set out for New York with the opttmtsttc mtention of working their way across to Europe on a boat.

As many other lads have found to be the case, this business of obtaining working passage is neither simple ' nor easy. They finally gave up and decided to pay their passage. This outlay sadly diminished their small store of wherewithal, to the extent that each had only $85 left to take in Europe.

The landing took place in Le Havre. An expenditure of $10 by each brought possession of a bicycle, and they started pedalling their way through the old countries. After three days in Paris, the southern regions attracted, and they headed for Ma~seil.les, Monte Carlo and Nice. Genoa was the next obJective, and from there they pushed over the Alps into Austria and into Vienna. From this point the itinerary took them to Salzburg and thence into Germany. In this country they took the Rhine valley route into Belgium, with stops at, or passage through Munich, Heidelber~, Koblenz and Cologne. In Belgium stops were made m Brussels and Ostende.

Returning to Le Havre to catch a return boat, the bikes were sold for $3.50 each. The net cost of the 3200 miles covered in Europe,. and covering all items, was $7 0. They had only $5 and a return boat passage between them and Chicago, the home of both and the starting point. Arriving in New York, it was a case of d"o ing a bit of "thumbing." That the!r luck. was good in this respect was evidenced by reachmg Chtcago in one and a half days.

Nilsen is happy to recommend this mode of tra~el and his itinerary to any others who may have the destre to see Europe as cheaply as possible. He will be g 1ad to furnish information and valuable tips to any who contemplate making the trip. Acc~rding to him, ~he journey is jammed with interest, enJoyment and thnlls just about every mile.

Omicron to Lose Harry Carroll Omicron chapter and the University of Alabama will lose, in so far as student activities are concerned, a man who has become so valuable as to see~ indispensable. That man is Harry Carroll.

What Harry has done, and probably what he is to ~o, will be subjects of conversation wherever fraterntty men gather. There are not many men who ~ay boast of the accomplishments that have been achteved by Brother Carroll during his collegiate career. To mention some of the more outstanding of these honors will give but an idea of the real man.

Brother Carroll was director of intramural spo~ · e yel•ir at the University of Alabama f?r two c.onsecuttV He is a member of Delta Stgma Pt, Greeks, 5Pn Committee, Interfraternity Council, has been for so, time listed in Who's Who in American Colleges~.

Universities, and has, from time to time, had nurner other honors bestowed upon him. f~ At the end of the present semester the letters -, · be B.S., LL.B. , a rat 11er 01' lowing Harry •s name wtll portion of the scholastic alphabet. ro Omicronites have come to regard Brother Ca~e~ as somewhat of an oracle. During the past years t ,1 have been but few chapter offices that have no t koOI•, 3 the guiding hand of this chapter wise man. A;Po~ ently there has never been a problem that wa. •ll> · ·IS to be behe1ft~ easy for Harry to solve. If loca1 gosstp he is the man that started it all. Somehow, soon a 111 Brother Carroll's arrival at the university from Sl~.c~P Alabama, he contracted the name of "Eight. Ball. '11' real name has joined the files of chapter htstory. Ill nickname was brought about by his statement tbatd~ was continually behind the eight-ball: We all woo if there is any more room behind said ball. ~ There has been quite a bit of local argurneotl~ to the respective merits, as politicians, of Jim fartJ!: and "Eight Ball." We can only say that, thoug\ i type may differ, the results are somewhat the safll bt both cases. The fraternity will not suffer greatlY 1, cause of Brother Carroll's graduation. He is sure 1 1 J.oin the ranks of the active alumni, and therefore, 1·• ce may expect to reap the profits of his experien ' assistance during the years to come.

held a bowling night at the palatial New York Athletic club. The entire set of all eys were taken over by Pi Kapps.

While the pins were being "bowled" over, the beer was being served by three gentlemen in nicely laundered white coats.

'Tis said the beer was delicious and unquestionably proved to be inva luab le to the mighty bowlers. Yes, 'tis true, for whi le the pins were falling, empty glasses were more and more in evidence. But were soon rep laced!

The Bowling Night was held on Thursday, March 25.

Some 38 Pi Kapps gathered for a form of exercise, the like of which was not experienced by some since the last bowling a year ago. Our national president, Brother Meisel, together with our national secretary, Brother Berry, cou ld be seen with sleeves rolled above the elbows, doing their "dam ndest" or darndest to knock down those pesky 10 pins. And they succeeded-sometimes. Johnny Stevens of Alpha Xi, chairman of the coming spri ng formal, distributed cards to all the bowlers telling them that the brother with the best average for the night, wou ld get a comp limentary bid to the formal -a mere 4, gentlemen. Well , you cou ld hear the cheers in Oshkosh. And the pins roared for mercy! And the boys for more beer!

Walter Measday of Psi was so excited at the beginning of the night that his first attempts were "Pood les"! A "pood le," brothers, in case you don't remember, is the rolling of the ball in the gutter of an alley for no score. Walter came back later in the evening in a grand style. Brother Dick Whipple of Chi certain ly threw the fastest ball. Why, when that smoke ball hit those pins, the pin boy just covered up, fast as he could. It was our first glimpse of Brother Whipple and we hope we see more of him in the future.

Brothers, one must be truthful. It is a fact that the American Bowling Congress was in session in New York. But our Pi Kapps, as bowlers, wi ll not displease any of the champs.

Believe it or not, it fell to the lot of two brothers from Alpha Xi to roll the lowest score, a 73 for lang, and the highest, a fine 197 for Koenig. And your correspondent blushes to admit that the formal da nce bid goes to him with an average of 165 for the evening. larry just outscored Brother Crooker, Alpha Xi, who rolled a 164 average for the night.

The eveni ng of bowling (or you can call it what you will) was topped off by a match between the Alpha Xi Board of Directors and Psi chapter, who had to call on Dick Whipple to help them as onl y four Psi men remained. It seems Psi took over Alpha Xi at the last party. As some one has called this match "t he slaugh ter of Psi," a title I certainly would hesitate to use, I would like to report that Alpha Xi did turn the tables on Psi to the tune of 670 pins to 549. Psi had, in addition to Dick Whipple from Chi, the rea l Psi boys in the persons of Casey Lauter, Ray Ostergren, Walter Mensday, and Beans White. Alpha Xi was represented by Tobey Dreyer, AI Tyrrill, Johnny Stevens, D ave Kells, and larry Bolvig. The match certainly put a " head" on the evening's festivities. There wasn't much beer left!

It was good to see o ut at the bowling party in addition to those already mentioned, Brothers Beyers of Tau, Porter of Alpha D elta, Cross of Alpha Phi, lamb of Alpha Tau Carl Ostrgren, Elliott, Story, and Gibbs of Psi and Johnson: Walsh, Frost, Mendus, Bennett, Steffan, Berger, and Gartner of Alpha Xi.

The New York Alumni Lunch Club meets at 12:30 P.M. on the first Tuesday of each month at Caruso's Restaurant on Cortlandt Street, New York City. "Grand High Lunch Clubber" AI Wilson asks that you phone him at ANdrews 3-1510 for information.

New York's long awaited "Musical" is also scheduled for the merry month of May. While this is being written, the definite and final plans have not been decided upon. Tentatively, it is believed that our famed pianist, Brother Harold Lewis of Nu chapter, Nebraska, one of the important faculty members of the Juilliard School of Music, will entertain.

Mrs. Lewis, known professionally as Genieve Hughel Lewis, the first cellist of New York's famous Women's Symphony, will also have a part in the program. It is believed that some piano selections will be given by Mrs. Lawrence ]. Bolvig and Mrs. Carson Breevort, and there is the possibility of a few vocal selections by that student of voice at the J uilliard School, Larry Bolvig. This program will develop as the time draws near. The Ladies' Committee of the New York alumni is in charge of the musical.

The latter part of May, or perhaps the early part of June, will bring to New York Pi Kapps the final meeting this season of the alumni chapter. Harold Lewis, chairman of arrangements, is working diligently to present a splendid program. At this meeting, election of officers will take place.

May all Pi Kapp seniors graduate! May all the juniors become seniors. And so on! A glorious summer to all of you! Keep your fraternity in mind always and help to make it a better one in every way. Never miss an opportunity to advance Pi Kappa Phi! H asta luego! lARRY BOLVIG,

Seattle Men Enjoy an Old Fashion Stag That the Seattle Alumni Chapter can turn out in fine force for a regular old-fashion stag dinner and get-together was encouragingly demonstrated Friday evening, March 19. More than thirty of the alums were in attendance, many of whom had not been at regular meetings or luncheons for many months, and the no-toastmaster, free -for-all style of the gathering proved exceedingly popular.

A highlight of the evening's entertainment was a rapid-fire drill and tap dance number by Helen Basetti, vivacious drum majoress of the University of Washington band. At the conclusion of her dance several of the brothers, including Ed Brehm, were called to the telephone and forced to leave for the evening (we wtmder if any of them could have been called for the purpose of taking the young lady home).

Mel Kleinfelter, who juggles the accounts for the Silver Springs Brewery, added to the enjoyment of the occasion by contributing several cases of very fine beer. Ned McElroy and Tommy Jermin were responsible for the arrangements which resulted in such a fine turn-out and enjoyable evening.

It was the consensus of opinion that many more such gather• ings be held during the coming few months.

D.C. Chapter Presents One for Bob Ripley The Washington, D.C., Alumni Chapter has a "Believe It Or Not" that we think Bob Ripley has overlooked. There

16

are two members of the chapter with practically the. s> names, William C. Davis, Jr., and William D. DaviS,· At the last regular meeting of the chapter on March ll e, member was introducing himself to the chapter with his 0 school, and occupation. When the procedure got arouo William C. Davis, he told this interesting item: .

"Bill D. and I have the same names with the exceptl: the middle name. We both went to the University of Ala pt and received A.B.s and M.A.s. We are both Pi Kappa f and Phi Beta Kappas. We each received the Pi KaP?a scholarship award, each have one sister and each 5 151~. named Elizabeth. They are the same age with the exceP '; of one day. We both work on 'Capitol Hill' and both P' the violin." , Then he spoiled it all by saying that he was married; that Bill D. was still single. He added that they were IV lutely no relation and were not at Alabama together. Not they ever met until coming to Washington. ;

The accommodating mus~'\. met the situation with delightful "swing" music untd wee small hours. . . 1 We were mighty pleased to see Howard Leake trippliiB light fantastic on the dance floor. Howard was able to arre~ his ramblings through the mid-western section of the couo, so he could be with us on this occasion, and it was a ' 1 pleasure to have him.

This was undoubtedly the most successful Easter d30,, to date, and we're already looking forward to next ye~JI' affair, since it seems to be more popular each year.

Delta

Furman

On Friday night, December 11, the members of the pledge group entertained the pledges of the other four fraternities on the campus at the chapter house. We are glad to see that our pledges have taken such an interest in extra-curricular activities. Pledges Armstrong and Colvin are on the reporters staff of The Hornet, Furman's weekly paper; pledges Hood and Martin were very successful this year in freshman football and basketball. Pledge Watson took a very active part in soccer. Pledge Ellis is chemistry assistant; Pledge Rector is on the varsity debating team, which has been quite successful, and Pledge Rhodes has taken part in freshman tennis.

Pi Kappa Phi at Furman has a mascot this year. After a discussion among the brothers and pledges, we decided to call our pet dog DELTA. Delta is very fond of the boys and seems to be very happy with her new home. A party at the home of Pledge Milton Williams on Friday night, February 12, was the occasion for our first social function since first semester examinations. We are very glad to have had Brother Penn Acree back with us this semester. He has done a lot for the chapter in the past and continues his good work this semester. Delta chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was very fortunate last year in having two Pi Kappa Phi scholars, William Hershel Bagnal and Marion M. Young.

The following officers lead the chapter: S. 1. Watson, archon; Fred E. Renfrow, secretary and historian; 0. K. Upchurch, Jr., treasurer; Raymond Pinson, chaplain; and Marion Chapman, warden.

Edwards, Conway, S.C.; Harry Hendrick, Cliffside; C. B. Ivey, Rock Hill, S.C.; D. D. King, lumberton ; Julian Lokey, Thomson, Ga., and Robert Mann, Washington.

Twenty-five men from the chapter went to Durham, March 6, to a state conclave. They were entertained at a banquet in the Washington-Duke hotel and later visited Mu chapter at Duke University. Epsilon hopes that this conclave will become an annual affair since it promotes a greater feeling of brotherhood among the chapters in North Carolina. Billy Masters of Okahumpka, Fla., was pledged March 5. Sam Hemphill and Joe Kellam have made the varsity basketball team and are among the best players Davidson has this season. Dick lindsey is also playing baseball. A party at the house on March 12 was given in honor of the newly initiated Pi Kapps.

About twenty-five girls from Queens-Chicora College were Epsilon's guests.

This year is the silver anniversary of Epsilon and the centennial of Davidson College. At a recent meeting plans were made for an elaborate celebration of the chapter's twentyfifth year before the close of school.

Philip Arrowsmith has been selected as a Panhellenic councilman for the 1937-38 term to succeed Dunlap Covington.

With the last quarter of the 1936-37 school year under way, men of Lambda are busy striving to end up a successful year in a proper manner.

Archon Bob Knox was recently initiated into Blue Key council, one of foremost honor societies on the University of Georgia campus. Ed Perryman and Horace Crowe have been initiated into the Pelican club, freshman honorary organization. Brother Perryman is circulation manager of the Lambdanian, our chapter pub lication.

Brother Luckey promises to be one of the most outstand mainstays on the university's boxing team next year. .

Lambda was quite fortunate in the recent pledgt?B ~ Walter Harvey and Robert Lance. Walter is a junior rn]!<l forestry school, and Bob is a junior in the academic sc with intentions of entering law. Both of these ~oys,Ol' feel sure, will be a great credit to Lambda.

WILLIAM RHAME, historian

Tau

North Carolina State

Reorganization of a spirited alumni chapter through the efforts of Tau is one of the recent high spots in the chapter's functions. A dinner-smoker by the chapter gathered the grads, and the new officers have already promoted several successful social affairs. We are all very happy to have our recently appointed head football coach, Brother William Newton, with us. If the "regular-feiiow" element has anything to do with it, it is evident that State should have nothing but victories in '37.

With the start of this new term, we take great pleasure in announcing the initiation of Griffith Sloan, and the addition of four new pledges. The new men raise our pledge roll to fifteen. They are: D. F. Ho11er of Union Miiis, W. C. Monroe of Council, W. V. Matheney of Pulaski, Va., J. G. Tyndall of the Philippine Islands, and N. G. Smith of Goldsboro.

We are certain that these boys are typical Pi Kapps, and will do much toward furthering the success and development of Tau chapter.

Brother Helms fought his way to a splendid record on the varsity boxing squad this year in the unlimited division.

He and Pledge Matheney should continue their fine brand of football again this year. Pledge Laughlin is working hard to obtain the position of football manager.

Just one goal in the final minutes of the game took the soccer championship from us. The introduction of this sport to campus intramurals created much interest, and we were very glad that we could put up such a good showing.

Our annual mid-winter's banquet at a local hotel attended by over sixty, was a great success. Brother Chalk 'filled the toastmaster's chair to perfection.

Tau hopes that Brothers Meisel, Leake, and Price will drop in again very soon. Their luncheon visit concluded the conclave week-end perfectly.

Colonel Fred R. Brown, commander of the U. of I. R.O.T.C. brigade, and other notables, were guests at the Pi Kapp smoker held Sunday eve, March 21. Frank Schroeder of Houston, Tex. also dropped in on us. Cider, doughnuts, cigarettes, cigars, and ping-pong were enjoyed. The date of the annual spring formal has been set as May 8. And to sort of break up the intervening space a radio dance was held April 17.

Baseball seems to be the order of the day around Upsilon as elsewhere. Harry Ruyter is hurling on the varsity squad, and Hal Simpson is the star moundsman of the freshman team. Meanwhle the house intramural team goes into spring training. Bob Moore has been scratching up the greensward in spring football.

Bill Seldon and Neil Lance, who were the two highest in scholarship in the PE school last year, were both recently initiated into Delta Theta Epsilon, physical education honorary. Bob Taylor, '40, has been inducted into Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honor society for scholarship. The chapter jumped in scholarship from 45th among 58 fraternities last year to 20th place this year. This was the fourth largest gain of any fraternity on the campus. Now! WAIT'LL NEXT YEAR! Joe Bisesi, one of the most recent Pi Kapp fathers, was host to the active chapter at an open house given in honor of his newest son. As the cigars were going around, Archon Mason formally "slipped the button on him." In spite of

Although the winter quarter has gone with the wind, it has left behind excellent results of our activities, especially in our social and rushing programs. The four-star feature of our social calender, our formal dinner dance at the popular Olympic Golf and Country club, proved much superior to the ones held in the past. Sixty merry Pi Kapp couples enjoyed dancing to the swing melodies of the Men About Town, a new campus band. Plans for our spring informal are already whipping into shape according to Bob Connor, social chairman. This dance will be held May 15 at the Seattle Yacht club.

With the close of the winter quarter we find a full house for the spring quarter. Under the leadership of Pledge Prexy Lowell Vadman, Olympia; Carl Simpson, Colorado; Micky Derbin, Micl1igan; Rudy Kartess, Chicago, Ill.; Jack Jeffery, Shelton; Jim Byrne, Port Townsend; Delos Seely, Spokane; Harold Smith, Chehalis; Chuck Sedam, Seattle; and our Canadian, Lorne Bradley, Nelson, B.C.; have cooperated splendidly with house members.

Along with spring the boys began getting in shape for intramural competition. Many of the fellows have had preseason workouts. Almost our entire baseball team will be back from last year's campaign.

We certainly will miss Brother Jess Barnes, who will leave for Pensacola, Fla., in July to enter the U. S. naval Right training base. Jess will feel quite at home as three of our boys are stationed there: Brothers Bud Curtis, AI Aha, and instructor Howard Badger.

Alpha Zeta

Oregon State

Alpha Zeta added six more men to her roster on January 30 when pledges Aron Douglas, Lewis Knerr, Dale Doherty, Bill Weir, Orval Hillison, and Phil Brinkman were each presented with the red rose and gold pin. Portland alums who braved the wintry blast and drove 86 miles to Corvallis to witness the ceremony were Bob "Portland Peak" Peacock and Bill Adamson. Adamson has recently been moved to the City of Roses after several years work in the middle west as salesman for a cordage company.

New pledges are Wilbur Beeler and Jack Cromer, who were added to the wearers of the white and gold last term.

By the time this is published Rushing Chairman Bob Weir hopes to have added several more, for spring rushing is being pushed to the utmost in an effort to fill the house at the beginning of the spring term. There are 43 affi liates on the campus, 35 of whom are living in the house.

Over 125 questionnaire postcards were mailed to the alums requesting pertinent items of interest which will be included in the next issue of the Alpha Zeta News. Returns to date indicate a keen desire of the grads to locate those long-lost brothers who haven't been heard from for years.

Six new honorary keys will be displayed from Pi Kapp vests following the initiations of the wi nter term. Manager Howard Conkle was initiated into Alpha Delta Sigma, honorary in advertising, whi le ex-a~c h on Bob Weir made Blue Key; Marion Sigovich was confined to the infirmary during the Scabbard and Blade induction ceremony but expects to be taken care of soon; Stan Kelley stood alongside the aforementioned Brother Conkle during Alpha Delta Sigma initiation, performed double duty at the Scabbard and Blade conclave by reason of Sigovich's absence and will be initiated into Sigma Tau on February 25.

Phil Brinkman was married to Miss Mary Jane Jones of Portland on December 26. The wedding, which took place in Portland, was attended by those Alpha Zetans who were in town for the Christmas vacation.

Clyde Dean made a trip to the University of Washington with the Oregon State swimmi ng team. D ean, the white hope in the breast stroke event, dropped in on Alpha Delta and also renewed certain other contacts made during the convention last summer.

Anticipating the arrival of Valentine's day, the radio dance held on February 6 was planned and executed in creditable fashion by the rooks. The house was decorated with large white and red valentine posters and streamers.

After a year of graduate work at New York University Alpha Zeta's "Musketeers," Brothers Don Tomlinson, John Hamilton, and D on Lawton, have partially separated. Tomlinson is now in Portland whi le his two cohorts are collaborating in the "management" of an apartment in San Francisco.

Lawton is with the advertisi ng agency of Botsford, Constantine, and Gardner, and Hamilton is working in the control division of the Emporium depa rtment store.

Victor Orler was recently chosen as one of three out of a group of fifteen electrical engineers to be given a job by the General Electric company, following his graduation in June. He will be located in Pittsburgh this summer and then go to Schenectady .

We were pleased to have Executive Secretary Leake spend a few days with us in February and are looking forward to seeing him again in May. John C. Johnston, Alpha Rho's faculty adviser, is rapidly recovering from a heart attack which occurred last fall. He is back at the office now and, with spring in the air, is anticipating with much pleasure quitting his town quarters for his cabin on the lake--The Hermits H11t.

Alpha Rho's annual spring formal which took place in the ballroom of the Hotel Morgan on Friday, April 23 was indeed up to the high standard of former Pi Kappa dances.

Brother Trickett and his committee of Burke and Orler are to be commended for their efforts in making the dance the grand success it was.

Brother George Hodel enro lled in the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City for the term beginning April 1.

Brother Ellis Bradley is once more back "in the fold" of Alpha Rho, having enrolled for work in the College of Education which will qualify him for teaching school. It seems that conversation has reached a new high since he arrived.

During the past few weeks the members of Alpha Sigma have enjoyed the visits of several brothers from other chapters.

Among these were: Joe McCoy from Tau, Bob Herndon from Delta, and Gil Spahr from Alpha Mu. It always gives us somewhat of a gratifying thrill when we clasp the hand of a man whom we might have passed as any other stranger but for that bond of brotherhood.

At the elections held in January, the chapter chose to continue under the leadership of John Haverstick, archon. Other officers elected were: Richard A. Hilderman, treasurer; Harvey A. Leich, secretary; John C. Jubin, historian; and George L. Graf, warden.

Ten new members were brought into the fraternity in February. These initiates compose a very active group, every one of them engaged in some activity. They are: H. Guyon Brightly, White Plains; Paul F. Davis, Utica; Austin E. Riley, Hillsdale, N.J.; Donald J. Stephens, Albany; Clarence R. McCray, Waverly; John J. Dempsey, Valley Stream; Percival W. Cummings, Cos Cob, Conn.; Robert 0. Wagner, Detroit, Mich.; Richard J. Cox, Albany; and William B. Conover, Lambertville, N.J. The chapter continues to pledge men; Charles Gurley Estey, M.E. '39, and Edwin Clark, M.E. '39, were pledged last month.

Scholastically, Alpha Tau stands fifth among the twenty fraternities on the R.P.I. campus according to the rating just published by the registrar. Last year's rating was the same. Two more men were elected to Tau Beta Pi and initiated April 9: Roy W. Purchase, C.E. '38, and John C. Jubin, Ch.E. '38. This makes a total of five Tau Beta Pi men in the chapter, the others being Harold J. Elmendorf, T. K. O'Sullivan and George W . Price.

Professor Grant K. Palsgrove, our chapter adviser was recently elected vice-chairman of the middle Atlantic section of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education.

We were glad to have a visit from our District Archon, Brother Frank J. McMullen, accompanied by Brother Fuchs on the week-end of April 3. Brother Robinson also made one of his frequent visits at that time.

Among the many social functions held this year Alpha Tau has had one formal dance. Nat Lee and his orchestra played ~:t this Post-Prom dance which was attended by a number of alumn'i. We are looking forward to a great time Soiree week-end. The Post-Soiree formal dance will be on Saturday, May 8. As for the Sophomore Soiree itself, Glen Gray and his orchestra ought to make it all that Soiree is supposed to be.

Although Alpha Tau did not come through with any championships in interfraternity sports last winter, the prospects of a good tennis and baseball team are very favorable.

Harold J. Elmendorf (varsity basketball man) was made captain of the tennis team. T. K. O'Sullivan is the manager of track. Pete Fox, who continues to call himself "rugged," has been instrumental in establishing the Lacrosse club which hopes soon to make lacrosse a recognized sport at R.P.I. Pledge Bill Cummings won the freshman swimming medal.

We hope to favor all you alumni with an Alpha Taux soon. It will be a directory of the chapter.

lish in the May, 1937 Star and Lamp two inquires, one seeking a member of the fraternity with journalistic experience who might be interested in assuming the editorship of the Star and Lamp, the other seeking a recent graduate, preferably one with journalistic training, who might be interested in the position of assistant secretary.

The executive secretary was authorized to investigate tl1e possibility of finding a satisfactory location for central office in downtown Richmond, to purchase a power driven addressograph machine and a new typewriter, and to increase the size of the May, 1937, issue of the Star and Lamp. He was further authorized to prepare a pledge manual during the summer of 1937 and distribute the same to the chapters at a charge of fifty cents a copy.

A resolution authorizing central office to assemble two complete sets of initiation regalia to be made available on a rental basis to chapters not properly equipped to carry out the ceremonies of initiation in the manner prescribed in the ritual was adopted.

Following the close of the Sunday sessions a bulfet supper was served by Mrs. Howard Leake. Present on this gay occasion, besides Mrs. Leake, the council members and the central office staff, were Mrs. G. Bernard Helmrich and Mrs. John H. McCann. In this manner a very constructive, very pleasant week-end was brought to a fitting close with good food, good singing and good fellowship.
