New Year's Greetings!

NEw YEAR's DAY, according to an ancient and honorable custom, is an occasion for making resolutions.

We are all mindful that we have done in our fraternity life things that we ought not to have done, and that we left undone things which we ought to have done. Consciousness of our shortcomings is an essential condition of amending our plan of life.

Your president is conscious that PI KAPPA PHI would be a stronger fraternity if certain resolutions could be made and carried out, looking towards its betterment.

May I propose them in this greeting to you?

For the undergraduate, I should suggest a re-reading of the undergraduate creed, and the formulation of a resolution for 1938 to strive to attain the highest possible standard of scholarship, to safeguard the reputation

of the Fraternity by careful watching of his personal conduct, to uphold faithfully ~1 e traditions of his college, and to prepare hunself diligently to meet his responsibility as a citizen.

On the other hand, I ask the alumni to recall their experiences as undergraduates and their desire at that time for counsel and support from the older generation. Resolve in 1938 to be more active in your interest in your old Chapter, and extend to it that assistance which not so long ago you as undergraduate desired for it.

Wishing you all every good thing for the New Year, I remain Fraternally yours, ALBERT w. MEISEL National President.

OUGLAS LEIGH, Alpha Epsilon, the Alabama youngster, who believed it could be done and thereby attracted the attention of the nation with his spectacular signs on Broadway, was interviewed by Edgar A. Guest, the poet-philosopher, on the "IT CAN BE DONE" program, sponsored by the Household Finance Corporation, on a National Broadcasting Company network November 2.

In interesting fashion the story of Leigh's unusual career was dramatized and near the close of the program he was introduced and interviewed by the beloved poet-philosopher and radio personality.

The script of the Leigh broadcast of the "IT CAN BE DONE" program is herewith presented:

GUEST: Good evening all.

IT CAN BB DoNE-and each Tuesday night we bring to our microphone some man or woman who has won success against the odds-who has overcome the seemingly impossible. Perhaps you are right now facing a challenge.

Well-take heart, throw yourself to the task and remember, It Can Be Done. Tonight we bring you a news inspiration in presenting as our guest of honor a young man who, early in life began proving to himself and those about him that nothing is impossible. And proud indeed are Household Finance and I to present Douglas Leigh whose achievement is currently much talked of and widely written about.

GuEsT: Thus-Douglas Leigh came to America's largest metropolis-came to conquer New York with a heart full of courage and ambition-and a pocketbook containing eight dollars and fifty-two cents. But courage and ambition were apparently more important than financial resources-and the will-to-do was apparently weightier than a slim bankroll, for the young southerner was working for a great outdoor sign company-working in Brooklyn (Fading) and spending his nights on gay Broadway.

jacksonville Plans Conventtoli

• the "Gate Way City" to Florida's " Land of Sunshine," will welcome Pi Kappa Phi's from all over the country when their Supreme Chapter convenes there August 16-19.

In the past few years Jacksonville has become convention conscious and exerts every effort to welcome its visitors in true southern style.

We sincerely believe you will find Jacksonville one of the finest sites for a convention anywhere in the land. We promise you a substantial city of approximately 150,000 population, built on the banks of the beautiful St. Johns River, and less than thirty minutes' drive from the Gulf-Stream warmed waters of the Atlantic Ocean and its expansive beaches. As our convention plans crystallize more definitely, we hope to include for your entertainment and pleasure a sufficiently broad itinerary to show yoq some of Florida's famous vacation advantages.

We are not forgetting entirely that our national officers expect us to save some time for business sessions, so necessary to the proper functioning of our fraternity, ~ut on this particular occasion we are going to ask them to give us as much time for entertainment as possible. .

We want all of you to know and love Florida, and as the representative of Florida on this occasion, Jacksonville will welcome you and please you.

'Having indicated the surroundings of our convention, we now turn "back-stage" and let you glimpse some of the "wheel-turners." Your pleasure is their one thought between now and August of 1938.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Introducing our head man, the convention chairman, George (Coon) Coulter, the boy from the Buckeye State who at last learned that Southerners only use the term "you all" when referring to more than one person. George is getting the convention program under control and his main idea in life right now is to put on a convention that will be remembered for many years. He will probably do just that.

from irregularities sometimes connected with sales under the old method due to inexperience of local officials and their unfamiliarity with the problem have been eliminated.

Another important function which has been added since the commission was established is the refinancing of indebtedness of many local units which have had difficulty in meeting their bonded debt and have defaulted in the payment of principal and interest. In behalf of these units, the commission negotiates with their creditors, prepares and promulgates refinancing plans and operates such plans to their consummation.

The Commission also performs many other functions such as supervision of sinking funds, supervising security of public deposits, advising with local officials in problems of fiscal management and administration and others.

The volume of bonds and notes approved by the commission in new issues, funding and refunding and renewals since 1931 has approximated $200,000,000.

Spends Summer in Desert to Collect Navajo Facts

By Gilbert Campbell, Omega before commencement last June I received word that I had been accepted as a member of the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition. This expedition, organized on a co6Eerative basis by the American Exploration Society, was to continue an exploration and survey of the Northern Navajo Indian Reservation in the extreme northeastern part of Arizona. Since 1933 parties had been going each summer into this desert region mapping, photographing, and recording facts of interest to the botanist, zoOlogist, archeologist, and geologist. These parties had already brought back much useful data and specimens.

Meeting the New York group in central Illinois, the Chicago group of which I was a member continued across Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, .finally arriving at Kayenta, Ariz. Kayenta, the most remote postoffice in the United States, is only 15 miles from our Marsh Pass base camp. When roads are good mail is brought in twice a week from Flagstaff, the nearest railroad terminal, 160 miles distant.

Pi Kappa Phi Well Represented at Nation~ Interfraternity Conference As .n_

,.

Twenty-ninth Annual meeting of the National Interfraternity Conference convened in New York's Hotel Commodore for sessions on November 26 and 27 Pi Kappa Phi was extremely well represented in both graduate and undergraduate fields. As official delegates Brothers Albert W. Meisel, national president, William J. Berry, national secretary, and Frank J. McMullen, Archon of District One, were supported by alternate delegates John E. Stevens, Archon of New York Alumni chapter, and John H. McCann, Executive Secretary.

The undergraduate conference included Brothers W. H. Arrowsmith, Epsilon, "Corky" Smith, Xi, and William "Bill" Ceely, Chi, representing the local interfraternity councils of Davidson, Roanoke and Stetson respectively. In addition to these brothers, Ron Heath, Alpha Theta, was on hand as personal aide to Michigan State's Dean Mitchell.

With bowed heads and sorrowfilled hearts delegates to the National Interfraternity Conference this year listened to the memorial adopted by the Executive Committee, a tribute to Dr. Francis Wayland Shepardson.

The meeting was attended by 115 delegates, representing 55 fraternities, 44 alternates, 63 visitors, 26 deans, and 132 undergraduate delegates of 80 interfraternity councils from every section of the United States. The undergraduate registration exceeded the record number of last year by twenty-two.

These undergraduates made history by taking charge of the Saturday forenoon session and discussing problems that concern the interfraternity councils. in his address, which was the feature of the Friday forenoon session Conference Chairman H. Maurice Darling, Delta Kappa Epsilon, gave the minimum requirements of a well-conducted chapter.

The nine minimum requirements set up for the 2359 chapters in this country are: No member dropped for deficiency in scholarship; no chapter bills left unpaid or bills receivable from members to the chapter; no insanitary or unsafe chapter house; appetizing meals, conforming to dietetic requirements; no departures from the best standards of conduct and behavior; no members elected merely for their athletic ability; no breaches of accepted rushing rules; no foolish initiation practices ; no chapter expanded to the extent that congeniality, cohesion, and responsibility are lost.

In opening his discussion of the place the fraternity plays in the educational system of today, Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, Sigma Nu, chancellor of

he was occupied with special duties as collector of specimens for the chemical museum of the Institute.

He came to Polytechnic in 1897, having taught previously at Montpelier Academy, Vermont; the University of Maine and Ohio University. It is believed that nearly 1000 leading engineers and chemists of the country were taught by him. At the time of his retirement at the age of 71 he was regarded as the oldest Brooklyn college teacher in the borough.

We now come to one of the most outstanding and imposing ligures in the whole convention set-up. We give you the modern "Rothchild," that balancer of budgets, that mighty financier, that Shylock of the purse strings, none other than Reginald Randall Axtell ("Reggie" to you) . "Reggie," has the financial responsibility of the Convention. But don't feel too badly for him, for he always has an ace up his sleeve; in fact, he sometimes has three.

Will we have a successful convention this time?

The answer lies with each of you. Of course the delegates will be here, and of course the Jacksonville alumni will be registered with you. But we hope they will be only a nucleus. You other men are the key to our success in 1938. Without you, we will convene do business, entertain ourselves and adjourn.

With you, we will make fraternity conv~ntion history.!

Our two Florida Chapters, Alpha Epstlon and Cht, have pledged fifty and forty men each, respectively.

Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1937 (Cot1tin11ed from page 11)

with these ideas in mind that the Pi Kappa Phi scholarship program was started in 1925 and now serves as a continual reminder of this important phase of work in which the fraternity is now engaged. Annually on Founders' Day Pi Kappa Phi officially r~c­ ognizes and honors its leading scholars among tts active membership. . .

The Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1937 are ntne m number and constitute the eleventh group to be so honored.

Finally just as dark came upon us, we located the spring by the sound of flies and mosguitoes near it.

They were the .first mosguitoes we had seen all summer, and, in spite of their appetites were welcome!

The next morning we climbed to the summitt, leaving out 50 pound packs cached near the spring. Taking only our photographic eguipment and a light lunch, we had an easy climb.

In spite of a busy summer, I managed to raise a fairly respectable beard and to Jearn enough Navajo to get along. leaving the Expedition late in August, I went to Berkeley, stopping long enough in Flagstaff to get a hair cut and shave, my first since I graduated from Purdue. At Berkeley I enjoyed the hospitality of the brothers of Gamma for two days before finding out that the school I had hoped to enter had reached its guota. Conseguently I am now back in Illinois, where I sometimes can get away from graduate work long enough to get to chapter meetings at Upsilon.

Radio Guard, Latest Venture in Preparedness, Work of Pi Kapp (Continued from page 12)

years to carry the Governor and other state officials as may be necessary for state business and emergency purposes. July found the pilot leaving for the Philippine Islands. With 1500 hours of safe and sane flying on my record I was offered the job by the Adjutant General, which job I now hold . Since flying did not require all of my time the General asked me to act as radio editor of the guard magazine, The Indiana National G11ardsman.

That was the big opportunity needed to establish this organization for amateurs. In September the ball started rolling. We now have sixty-live members in Indiana and all of the radio amateurs are backing :he idea-no future emergency will catch !~diana again without communication for that purpose. Amateurs are living up to a true fraternal spirit-amateur radio in Indiana in future emergencies will click with the fineness of a Swiss watch movement-thanks to our amateurs and their spirit.

The Indiana Radio Guard was conceived with a hope-a hope based on practical experience and some knowledge of the group-psychology of radio amateurs that no emergency can keep the radio amateur from doing his part- his best; and that he is willing to organize in advance for that purpose.

If you are the happy owner of a short wave radio you'll lind a few spots marked "Amateur" on your dial. Just listen a while some evening-no they are not talking a foreign language but a language of radio; radio equipment, radio messages (traffic to them) and past records of radio contacts which they have made. Did you ever hear so much interference?

Sixty thousand of them all crowded into those little spaces oa your dial; yet they make every effort to do all they can with the little space, in the radio spectrum, the government has seen fit to "give" them. They make the best of it and in an emergency carry the messages which public utilities cannot forward due to broken or overloaded lines and circuits -and all without cost to the public or any individual.

Delivery of messages is not guaranteed but is surprisingly accurate. Any amateur will be glad to take any message any time. Why don't you locate one and try it? You'll get the thrill of a life time!

In an emergency such as a flood, a strike or other major civil emergency in Indiana, the Indiana National Guard is called .to active duty to protect the civil rights and property of its people. Therefore it is a natural and logical step for the national guard to sponsor the organization of radio amateurs for such preparedness.

To the average radio amateur it is surprising that more people do not know of his work-he has done

e Var1 so much for the art of radio which all enjoy in th the form of "broadcasting." Many say what is an aJila·' lelll teur? Who is he? Where does he work and what ney does he do? The true radio amateur has been 50 busy with radio proper that he finds little time ~or ~~; publicity and organization.

We are glad to see e achi ladies enter the ranks of radio amateurs. Radio .:~ hobl the amateur is a hobby ; his sport. It is just as thfl that ing and interesting to him as hunting, fishin~ . or Ocie 1 golf is to others. His greatest thrill comes in g 1 " ~g Pect 1 communication to those in need. To do this e the establishes schedules with other amateurs in lo.ca· VoJu tions where contacts are needed.

We had built quite a large electric spectacular on 42nd street, which commands a view all the way from Fifth to Sixth Avenue. Coming down one morning to inspect the ~ign I found freshly washed clothes hung on the lower part, JUSt as they would hang from a washline. Going up atop the roof, 1 was met by an old German lady. 1 asked her about the matter-the clothes-and she said: "Young man, 1 have lived here thirteen years. I have never had trouble, and I'm not going to start with you." And, Mr. Guest, the clothes still flutter each Monday morning from the bottom of our sign.

GuEST: 1 imagine space on roofs in the Broadway section is rather expensive, Mr. leigh.

LEIGH : Right, Mr. Guest. Our lease prices run from $600 to 15,000 a year.

GUEST: Why, Mr. leigh, did you take a chance on the Epok System-a chance that would probably have ruined you had it failed?

LEIGH: M:r. Guest, 1 thought 1 saw in Epok a complete revolutionary idea in electric signs, or "bright lights, " as we in the business call them. Here was an opportunity for the Jirst time to give complete flexibility to an electric sign. We could do practically anything that the animated cartoons could do. 1 felt that as long as there was a Broadway and a Times Square, there would always be electric signs. Well, so far so good. We've built three and there are many more to come. Of course, we build dozens and dozens of other types of signs, but right now, we are throwing most of our effort behind Epok.

GUEST: Mr. leigh, Household Finance and 1 are proud of the success you have made in your twenty-seven years of life. In the name of the fun loving millions who each year throng Times Square and Broadway with necks upturned, gazing at the millions of lights, we salute you. Congratulations, Douglas leigh!

Florence Alumni Get Formal Charter N WEDNESDAY

evening, December 8, the Florence

0 Alumni chapter was formally installed by Assistant Executive Secretary Bonn A. Gilbert. The charter group met at the Sanborn Hotel, and after a fine banquet, the charter was duly turned over to Ben W. Covington, newly elected Archon of the group. The officers, installed with Covington, were J. J. Clemmons, secretary, and C. E. Haselden, treasurer.

The Florence Alumni chapter is planning a statewide conclave this spring, and preliminary plans are already in progress. Wives and sweethearts of Pi Kapps will be invited and a complete program of entertainment for them is being planned. Brother Covington, plans inviting representatives from the National Council, Central Office, Founders, alumni chapters and active chapters, and prizes will be awarded for alumni and undergraduate chapters with best attendance.

Personals

D. C. Pi Kapps Observe Founders' Day

By Marvin C. Wilbur Led by three men, who since their student days as Pi Kapps have risen to successful heights in their respective fields, the District of Columbia Alumni Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi observed the thirty-third anniversary of the founding of the Fraternity December 10. Around the U-shaped, red-rose bedecked festive board at the Admiral Club sat over 30 diners - Pi Kapps, their wives or lady guests.

But it was truly significant that the Washington group should have with it Dr. Oscar F. Blackwelder, pastor of the Church of the Reformation, who was guest speaker; Dr. A. P. Wagener, a charter member of Alpha chapter when Pi Kappa Phi was first founded at the College of Charleston just 33 .years ago, and who is now head of the department of classical languages at the College of William and Mary; and Dr. John _Donaldso~, pr?fessor of political economy at George Washmgton Untvemty. · It was the interest of these three men, Dr. Wagener as an instigator, and Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Blackwelder as charter members, that brought into being on May 5, 1926, the Xi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at Roanoke College, Salem, Virginia.

Edmund H. Worthy was toastmaster; Robert H. Kuppers, secretary of the local alumni chapter, made arrangements for the e~ent; and Ed Turville was brother-photographerenthusiast.

Probably the most cosmopolitan alumni organization among Pi Kappa Phi's alumni groups, the District of Columbia Pi Kapps can boast representation from a large percentage of the undergraduate chapters throughout the United States.

New York Alumni Chapter

By Lawrence J. Bolvig, Alpha Xi When Jack Stevens, president of the New York Alumni chapter rapped his gavel for order on the evening of October 27 a meeting of great interest was in store for the many brothers assembled. The speaker of the evening, a feature in any gathering, was Jack C. Oestreicher, director of foreign service of the International News Service.

Mr. Oestreicher, presenting interesting items of "inside dope," soon had the brothers on the edges of their chairs.

Most amusing were incidents caused by the misunderstandings of cabled orders to correspondents and comments relative to the Duke of Windsor, the latter rather enlightening but of such a nature that none can be permitted here.

Jack Stevens of Alpha Xi chapter was elected archon at the spring meeting. His election was unanimous upon presentation of recommendation by the nominating committee.

It is interesting to look at the Stevens record over the years since his initiation into Pi Kappa Phi. Jack graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic with a B.S.C. degree in 1932.

As an undergraduate he served his chapter as secretary and member of the board of control. This latter position he took in 1931 and has continued on the board as an alumni

making the address he had intended making, the thoughts which he expressed were greatly appreciated by the chapter.

Immediately following the meal, Joe Commander, chapter Archon was introduced by the toastmaster and welcomed the ladies and faculty brothers. Eldred' MacLeod then extended a welcome to the pledges, and Louie Porter, president of the pledges, very graciously responded.

The climax of the program was reached when Roy Hutchinson was presented the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Key by Dr. H. E. Sturgeon, Beta alumnus and head of the chemistry department at P.C. Greatly adding to the affair was Brother John Holland Hunter, Beta, '18, and Business manager of the college, who acted as toastmaster. The chapter was also honored with the presence of Brother L. S. MacMillian, charter member of Beta and basketball and track coach at P.C. Other guests o~ ~e chapter were Mesdames Sturgeon, Hunter and MacMll!Jan, and young ladies from Clinton and surrounding cities and colleges. Music for the occasion was was furnished by Hap Gray and his P.C. "Collegians."

After the banquet the entire group moved on to the soft lights of the fraternity rooms where they were joined by guests from other fraternities in an hilarious Christmas social.

Beta is proud of her Pi Kappa Phi scholar for 1937, Roy Hutchinson. We are sure that no one is more deserving of this high honor than Brother Hutchinson and are proud of his splendid scholastic record.

Rush season was very successful and seventeen men were pledged. The list follows : Pinky Barnhill, Frank Sutton, ]. A. Holmes, Bill Palmer, and Jerry Roberts, of Fayetteville, N.C.; Keith Fleischman, Greensboro, N.C.; D. M. McCormick, Clio, S.C.; John Broughton, Warren, Ark,; Bill Coleman and George Douglas, Rock Hill, S.C.; Buddy Lloyd, Gainesville, Ga.; Louie Porter, Thomasville, Ga. ; Lewis Boggs, Pickens, S.C.; Alex Cruickshanks, Point Pleasant, W.Va.; ]. C. Coleman, Brunswick, Ga.; Dibbs Wyman, Aiken, S.C.; and Bobby Glickert, Augusta, Ga. Glickert, however, feeling a need to change his course, withdrew from school in November.

Pledges Bill Coleman and "Pete" McCormick recently edited respectively the Freshman and Sophomore issues of the "Blue Stocking," campus paper. Barnhill, Palmer, Roberts, Fleischman, Bill Coleman, Sutton, and J . C. Coleman were members of the freshman football squad and Roberts, Palmer, Fleischman and ]. C. Coleman have been outstanding on the team.

Recent initiations added Marion Clark Mixson and James Philip Ballard.

William Jones Clark of Union, S.C., and Miss Agnes Stanton of Greenville, S.C., were married in December. Clark, who formerly lived in Summerville, is now teaching and coaching at North Charleston high school.

James Blaine Hicklin of Asheville, N.C., and Miss Nannie McDonald of Blackstock, S.C., were married October 15.

Hicklin is on the field staff of the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, New York City, and they are making their home in Blackstock.

Brother William Maurice Degner, Beta, '37, and Miss Helen Brownlee were quietly married at the home of the bride in Laurens, S.C., on November 24.

It looks like another succesful year for Delta chapter. At the beginning of the school year there were nine members

and five pledges who comprised our chapter, but after an early October initiation two of these pledges became active brothers in Pi Kappa Phi. Both Brothers Lankford and White are seniors and have been active in student affairs at Furman. Brother Lankford is a member-elect of the Adelphian Literary Society while Brother White is a member of Chi Beta Phi, honorary scientific fraternity, and president of the geology club.

We also consider the return of Brother ]. F. Bozard very fortunate for the chapter. He rejoins the faculty of the university this year having received his doctor's degree at Cornell last year. Already this year his aid to the chapter has been invaluable.

A two weeks' period of rushing has just come to a close, and as a result twelve men accepted bids to Pi Kappa Phi. Our fraternity's two entertainments for prospective pledges consisted of a party and a turkey dinner served at a mountain lodge. Many of our alumni were present.

Several of our members and pledges hold important offices this year. Brother Walter Sigman is president of the senior· class and a member of the Panhellenic Council. Pledge Stevens is vice-president of the junior class, aod Pledge Rector is business manager of the Hornet, the school paper, and student ticket sales manager. The Hornet is edited this year

by Pledge Bill Anderson.

The officers for this semester are: archon, Penn Acree; treasurer, Euta Colvin; secretary, Charlton Armstrong; historian, Milton Williams; chaplain, Walter Sigman; and warden, Julian Hopkins.

On the snowy Sunday morning of December 5, Omega welcomed into brotherhood seven men : Fred Beretta, Malcolm Miller, Bob Reed, Bob Gullion, Palmer Porter, Bob Sheay, and Van Harms. At the noon banqu'et celebrating the initiation of tl1ese fellows, our observance of Founders' Day was also held. Dr. W. E. Edington, chairman of Pi Kappa Phi's scholarship committee, gave the principal address, stressing the founding particularly of our chapter.

Also at this dinner Archon Carl Sadler was pronounced the outstanding senior of this year by Herb Meyer, '27, who presented him the Meyer Insurance award.

One of the most successful homecomings that Omega has ever had created a gala week-end on October 16 and 17, with highlights being Purdue's victory over Carnegie Tech, the alumni meeting attended by about forty Pi Kapps, and the banquet for these alumni and their wives. On October 30, the dads of many of the boys were guests of the chapter.

Noteworthy among chapter honors is the winning of the Munro trophy, donated by George Munro, Pi Kapp faculty member, as an award given each year to the fraternity having a five-man scho!arship team with the highest average scholastic rating. Archon Sadler is a member of Pi Tau Sigma, vice-president of Sigma Delta Chi, member of Scabbard and Blade, and Gimlet, local activity honorary.

Our Founders' Day banquet held December 10 was quite successful. Although only about thirty alumni, actives, and pledges were present, a good time was enjoyed by all.

It was a very pleasant feeling indeed to know that all over the country broth~r Pi Kapp's were celebrating the founding of fraternity.

Douglas Willix gave a short talk on the early history of Pi kappa Phi. Tommy Germin spoke on the national aspects of the fraternity, stressing the fact that all the chapters should keep in active contact with the national office so that we may know what our· brothers in other parts of the country are doing. The Founders' Day message from President Albert Meisel was read.

A very successful homecoming banquet was held at the Edmund Meany Hotel November 13. Considering the weather there was a good turn-out. Tommy Germin, an alum from Michigan State, is now weather forecaster at Boeing air port. He predicted rain the day of the banquet, so with everyone having to wade through % inch of sloppy snow, Tommy came in for quite a bit of ribbing.

One of the highlights of the event was the presence of several of the charter members of Pi Kappa Phi on the University of Washington campus. Among these were Dr. Powers, Percy Shepard, Pete Terzick, Bill Wood, and our local representative, Don McKenzie, University of Washington accounting professor. The after dinner entertainment consisted of a word or two from each of the alums, the introduction of the new pledges to out-of-town alumni, and last, but not least, a few numbers by a tap dancer and a Hula Hula girl. De Loss "ten per cent" Seeley, the local booking agent and active was responsible for obtaining this last portion. Everyone expressed deep regret that Horace Granger could not be present. He is convalescing from a recent illness.

Tommy Germin bas recently been appointed our new District Archon to take Horace Granger's vacated position.

Although we hate to lose Horace, who has probably done as much for the local Pi Kappa chapter as any one person, we feel that he has a worthy successor.

ter. For the first time since the erection of the new house all the rooms are filled and there is a line of pledges waiting at the door. Exceeding the house-capacity of 41, Alpha Zeta now has 47 men. Manager Bob Harris plans to increase the capacity of the house to accommodate the overflow by building additional closet space in several rooms and by finishing the third-floor room which has heretofore been used for storage.

First initiation of the year was held November 6 and saw the admittance of five new members: Homer Matz, Fred Waker, George Blew, John Venator and Wilbur Beeler.

Pledge George Cadmus, who was to have taken his vows at the same time, suffered an acute attack of appendicitis and was rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation three hours before the ritual began. Cadmus has now completely recovered and will be initiated at a special ceremony.

Six more honorary keys have been added to the chapter since the initiation of Brothers Fred Zitzer and Clyde Dean to Scabbard and Blade, of Brother Stan Kelley to Blue Key and Tau Beta Pi, and of Brother Bill Weir to Mu Beta Beta and Alpha Delta Sigma.

Journalistic activities obtained favorable publicity on the campus recently when Fred Zitzer was awarded second prize in national competition for the best editorial to appear in a technical magazine. Zitzer has long been active on the editorial staff of the Oregon State Technical Record, engineering school magazine, as have also been Brothers Clyde Dean and Louis Knerr.

Pledge Fred Domnisse is one of the official campus-life photographers for the Beaver yearbook of the college, and may be seen at every event with Graflex poised and flashlight ready to capture anything of interest. Stan Coates and Tom Moriarity have joined the managerial and advertising staff of the OSC Daily Barometer, Coates as collections manager and Moriarty as assistant.

An informal sport dance was held November 13 in honor of the pledges. Decorations were appropriate and included large cardboard replicas of paddles, each mounted with the crest in colors and bearing the name of the pledge written in Greek letters. The annual pledge dinner was held the next day and was attended by 45 pledges, seniors, and guests.

Professor and Mrs. T. ]. Starker were honored guests.

Alpha Zeta has definite martial leanings, as evidenced by the participation of the members in things military. With five senior and three junior officers in the cadet ranks, the Pi Kapps drew one appointment as cadet major, one cadet captain, and three cadet first lieutenants. Three men have been selected for membership in the crack drill company, Oregon State Rifles, two are members of the corps of engineers fancy rifle-drill team, three are members of the regimental staff of the engineers, and four seniors are members of Scabbard and Blade.

Homecoming was held November 19 and saw many alums back for the celebration. The chapter participated in the annual Inter-Fraternity Sing, and received favorable comment on its songs. Then the Waikiki Beach-Combers, alias Brothers Harris, Dillow, Burtth, and Douglas, sang over the CBS network during the Homecoming broadcast. The quartet again appeared at the Midnight Matinee, where Brother Burtch added to the merriment by accidentally falling off the stage with his guitar firmly elapsed in his arms, much to the detriment of the quartet and also the guitar. As an added attraction the Beach-Combers presented Little Egypt (Snake Hips) Fred Waker in his 210-pound version of the hula-hula which "laid 'em in the aisles."

Clyde Dean was busy carrying out his appointment as campus decorations chairman by spending many nights painting signs and directing his crew of homecoming decorators.

The chapter entered a mechanical sign, in competition with other fraternities, depicting the hoped -for Beaver victory over

29

the Washington State Cougars. The sign was a complicated "Rube Goldberg" device which was motivated by "Beaver Pep" and operated a kicking machine which alternately kicked the Cougar and hit him over the head.

Alpha Eta Officers of Alpha Eta:

Howard Weaver, archon; Glenn

0. Perry, treasurer; Euel Johnson, secretary; Charles Sharp, historian; Homer Bagley, chaplain; William T. Burns, warden.

Recent initiates: Frank Thorne Bryan, Livingston, Ala. ; Joe Healey, Birmingham, Ala.; Homer Bagley, Anniston, Ala. Alpha Eta celebrated Founders' Day with a dinner given in conjunction with the Birmingham alumni chapter. The chapter also was entertained by the pledges, at which time the chapter was honored by a visit from the district archon, Theodore Jackson. The chapter has recently added these freshmen to its pledge roll: William Collins, Guntersville, Ala.; Thanuel Carden, Valley Head, Ala.; Aaron York, Empire, Ala.; Thomas A. Jones, Valley Head, Ala.; Billy Harris, West Blocton, Ala.; Marvin Carrol, Birmingham, Ala.; Wayne ]. Wells, Ashford, Ala. Plans are jointly being worked out by the Birmingham alumni and Alpha Eta chapters for the annual conclave to be held in Birmingham during the spring term. The conclave was held in Montgomery, Ala., last year with the Montgomery alumni acting as host.

Although losing the nucleus of its membership through graduation, Alpha Eta has made a rapid recovery and again is leading the campus in many fields of extracurricular activity. The chapter is very proud of its scholarship record of 78 per cent, which is only one-tenth of a point less than the winner of the Men's Panhellenic scholarship cup.

The chapter is also making plans for the annual Founders' Day banquet and dance, held annually in celebration of the founding of Alpha Eta chapter. This year will mark the thirteenth birthday of Alpha Eta. The chapter was also visited by V. Hain Huey, chapter adviser, during the homecoming of Alpha Eta. CHARLES E. SHARP, Historian

Alpha Theta

Michigan State College

The boys at Alpha Theta had a most interesting termboth in social and academic work. The term opened up with a radio party which was attended by a large crowd.

Following the radio party, two weeks later, the fall term formal party was held. The music was furnished by Frankie Prindle and his nine piece orchestra. Four other radio parties were held during the remainder of the term.

Pledging was good-no aim at hurrying prospective pledges and a better group of men was gotten as a result. The following men were pledged: Parker Gray, East Lansing, Mich.; Bob Vanderweld, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Harold Patzer, South Haven, Mich.; Darwin Shopoff, Battle Creek, Mich.; John Paquin, Park Falls, Wis.; Walter Bachus, Detroit, Mich.; Fred Hayden, Cassopolis, Mich.; Russ Angel, Lansing, Mich.; Avery Camerson, Detroit, Mich.; Bob Miller, Detroit, Mich.; George McCay, Battle Creek, Mich.

The winter term formal will be held February 23. Frankie Prindle is again to furnish the music. We would like to have as many alumni as possible to attend this function. A good time will be assured you. Please notify the social chairman if you plan to attend.

The following officers were elected and sworn in December 6: Ned Martinson, archon; Dean Mahrle, secretary; William Baird, assistant treasurer; Reuben Griewe, chaplain ;

Pi Kappa Phi Editorships on campus: Fred Sawyer, '39, president of his class last three years, associate editor of Polytechnic Reporter, weekly sheet. Bill Fendrich, '39, editorin-chief PolyUJog, college annual; Robert Schroeder, '39, business manager of PolyUJog. Incidentally, these last two offices are elective. Brothers Bill Wallor and Harry Wohlers, head photographic staff and Brother Joe Gettler is circulation manager also for PolyUJog. Newly acquired electric razors are giving the radio friends in the house several pains in the head. Brother Bill Fendrich has seemingly donated all the old magazines and records for quite awhile back to the chapter-for? It adds a touch of "dubhe" atmosphere, claims Bill who is also endeavoring to procure a ping pong table for the house. Brother Harry Wohlers still holds the fashion plate title and Brother Joe Gettler's Nazi outfit has evoked much derogatory comment.

It wouldn't be so bad only he wears it every day. When questioned, Joe said, "I'm not proud!"

Annual Christmas dinner of Alpha Xi chapter and New York alumni chapter was held December 20 at Brother Ray Orteig's Hotel LaFayette, New York City.

A Founders' Day dinner was held in the chapter house.

The principal speaker was Brother W. J. Berry, the national secretary, who spoke on the suitability of using Founders' Day as a time when we should stop and take stock of ourselves. Recall the past, heed the present and prepare for the future, advocated Brother Berry. He also spoke on the practice of occasionally reading over the initiation oath and determining whether or not we are living up to the ideals and tenets established by our founders . If we do this, Brother Berry stated, we will be sure to follow up the past successes of the fraternity and insure a bright future.

Brother Wayne C. Jackson, Alpha Omicron's Pi Kappa Phi Scholar, was rewarded at Iowa State's Fall Honor Day Convocation again. This time he received awards for obtaining the highest average of any student classed as a junior in the entire school. Wayne was a member of the college general livestock judging team which recently returned from the International Livestock Show at Chicago.

The chapter was visited by Assistant Executive Secretary, Bonn Gilbert, and his wife early in the fall.

Paulus Lange has left the teaching staff at !.S.C. and has started working for a Ph.D. at Chicago University. His address is Hitchcock Hall.

Fall pledging netted 10 new men.

Brother Phil Minges has returned to the house and is working for his Ph.D. The fall house dance was a success with a large number of alumni returning for the occasion.

Two Pi Kappa alumni have passed wedding cigars recently, Robert 0. Brown, '37, was married to Miss Eleanor Hockett, ex-'40, and Charles B. Schumacher, '37, was married to Miss Winifred Joanne Rognlien, ex-'40.

Alpha Sigma

Tennessee

Alpha Sigma has held its own among the "Greeks" at Tennessee this fall. Returning to the "Hill" with only 12 active members, we settled down to a very competitive rush week getting nine pledges. Since that time three more names have been added to the pledge list.

Elton Wood's name was added to those that wear the pin. Brother Lanas Royster won the annual fox hunt. The chapter went to the semi-finals in baseball, and now stand in seventh place out of 14 fraternities in intramurals. Brother Don Richardson, who last year was captain of the varsity swimming team, is cadet captain and member of Scabbard and Blade. Brothers Ed Byrd and Charles Danner are doing an excellent job on the make up staff of the Orange and Whit e, student publication. Brother Willard Richardson is intramural manager, a member of Pershing Rifles, and secretary of Interfraternity Council. Brother James Stilz is business manager of Tennessee Farmer, Ag College publication, and a member of the University dairy products judging team.

Brother Barry Cecil is secretary of the Junior class, president of the Beaver Club, and was manager of varsity swimming last year.

The weekend of November 13 brought Barnwarmin' and Homecoming. Barnwarmin' managed by Brother Bill Wynne last year, was again a great success with the Pi Kapps taking an active part. Brother James Stilz was chairman of the invitation committee, and Barry Cecil was chairman of electrical committee. Archon Adkins, though not an Ag, planned and supervised the decorations which were very outstanding. That weekend the chapter took first place on house decorations, and also second place in the float for Barnwarmin' parade. Much credit for these victories must be given to Brothers James. Seay and Bill Wynne, who thought up the ideas, and also Brothers L. H. Poole, an Alpha Iota alumnus, who worked with Brother Adkins on plans and construction.

The chapter was very glad to have for its guests Brother and Mrs. Bonn Gilbert.

Recently the chapter held elections for the next two quarters of school. Brother Ray Ritter was electer archon; Willard Richardson, treasurer; Charles Danner, secretary; Barry Cecil historian; Lanas Royster, chaplain; and J. P. McKee, warden.

to all of us we heard the announcement and presentation of Pi Kappa Phi Scl10lar awards to two of our chapter.

Brothers Tom Speers and George Svehla carried away the honors but George was not able to be on hand to hear our applause, it being necessary for him to stick close to his work in Louisville, Ky. We now have had four scholars in the past three years and are out to keep the record moving along.

In one of our best years we are well represented in all forms of activity around the Armour campus with men in track, boxing, swi mming, basketball, g lee club, orchestra, news staff and many organizations and clubs.

We wish here to express our appreciation for the help being given us by our Mothers' Club. They are always doing something for us in a material way as well as in that intangible way of building morale and recently held a very successful card party at the house, after which the profits were handed to the chapter treasurer.

Alpha Phi recently wished the best to Brother Edward Schmidt and bride, the former Miss Synia Nelson, as our co-op brother took unto himself a wife.

We were glad to entertain Assistant Secretary Bonn A. Gilbert and wife when they stopped over for a brief visit in Chicago. Brother Bonn gave us many good pointers and his visits are always more than welcome. Also with us for a brief stay was District Archon Bob Amick from West Lafayette.

Curtis R. Bristol, '35, recently married the form er Miss Eleanor Wells of Louisville Ky. Curt is now with the Kentucky Aerial Bureau and the Bristols make their home at 1905 Broadway, Paducah.

Another romance of the class of '35 blossomed when Miss Helen ]. Shepard of Wilmette became the bride of Brother Howard J . Zibble. Howard is a special agent with the Wilmette Main Agency of Madison, Wis., and claims as his territory the State of Wisconsin. The Zibbles are making their home at 106 South Hancock St., Madison. Wis. JOHN R. GERHARDT, Historia11

Setze Is Honored w. SETZE, JR., of Atlanta, for many years a member of Pi Kappa Phi's supreme council, has been awarded many honors but there are none he holds more priceless than the honorary membership he has been given in the O.D.K. chapter of Georgia Tech, his alma mater. There are only 12 honorary memberships in this circle and this is the first in five years. Brother Setze is prominently identified with the Masonic fraternity in Georgia.

Cleveland Alumni Observe Founders' Day Cleveland alumni chapter celebrated Founders' Day with a formal dance and breakfast at the Park Lane Villa, one of the brighter "bright spots" of the East Side of Cleveland. Nine couples attended, and as always, an enjoyable time was had by all. The December meetings have become traditionally formal at which time the brothers, sweethearts, and wives gather' round the festive board to honor the founders of our fraternity.
