Once again swift-moving time brings us to the annual observance of Founders' Day, the birthday oft~ fraternity. While the occasion is sometimes used for the presentation of citations, scholarship penda.f soD I other symbols of achievement, for welcoming banquets to recent initiates or for district conclaves-an ti~: uses are appropriate, though secondary-it should not be forgotten that the primary purpose in celeb~ati< 009 the anniversary is to pay a tribute of honor and esteem to the three men who, through their intimate ass in the College of Charleston became the Founders of Pi Kappa Phi. eetiO: Founder Andrew Alexander Kroeg bas long since been translated to the Chapter Eternal. At ever~ Jll lef11j held in observance of the day, a brief period of silence should honor his memory. It is fitting that at thtS ~f' 11 1 moment there should be associated with him in our thoughts all those brothers departed who, v.rh .~0l founders, have nevertheless, by fidelity and zeal and by the priceless legacy of a good example, contfl to the growth and prosperity of this, our beloved order.

1t Founders Simon Fogarty and Lawrence Harry Mixson are happily still with us. Though they are c~ntelll . Ust t remain ·in the background watching while others carry C?n the work which they began, their interest tS:e~ciP. e e keen and their concern for the success of the Fratenity no less acute than when they themselves wer~ d ed nt' the burden and heat of the day. Never have they forgotten Pi Kappa Phi and we should be thankless tn e ~1es 0 we fail ever to bold them in grateful remembrance. fnCl ~ But the test of our gratitude is to be found in its fruits. Not by words alone are our Founders .fit '0;, \\1 honored, though such expressions of our feeling for them are by no means to be despised. The FoW:ders e t ~d fr: not only given us a living organization, they have likewise set forth for our inspiration and gutdafl~ all' ·a principles and ideals from which and through which its vitality is derived. The old-fashioned notions of 0\111 Oda. and loyalty, of courtesy and gentleness, of esteem of culture and respect for scholarship, of service and br ede·1nd Pa hood in which they believed and in the spirit of which Pi Kappa Phi was conceived were never more ted.lnt0 than in the confusion and strife, social, economic and political, which devastate the world of today. In e50r!' ar is the very disregard of these principles by nations and by individuals which has brought mankind to the.10ot Ust e situation in which it finds itself. The extent to which we endeavor to realize these ideals of our Founders b~'· 00 individual and corporate lives in Pi Kappa Phi is the real measure of our appreciation of the gift theY Ol 1 • gtven us. .11 1·s/ Qar an If then, my Brothers, Pi Kappa Phi is of significance and value to you-and I am confident that 0o' 0 summon you not only to observe December 10 next in honor of the Founders, but to strive earnestly throll~der lit this year and all the years of your lives to become the embodiment of the Pi Kappa Phi ideal as the fo~ ns I Jttr \\1 have visioned it, serving thus as leaven in your own generation and as an inspiration for the generatJO ratern come. t Fraternally yours, )' lncere

I KAPPA PHI has designated December 10 as Founders' Day, and annually the active and alumni chapters formally do honor to the Founders. However, with the alumn 路 not in close contact with an alumni or active chapter the day probably passes entirely forgotten. But to the Pi Kappa Phi Scholar it is an anniversary of considerable significance, for, as he glances at his scholarship

pendant, the highest award his fraternity confers on an active member, no doubt a genuine feeling of satisfaction and loyalty surges through him.

And as time passes this loyalty and interest should and will find expression.

As an evidence of this fact each of the last two numbers of THE STAR AND LAMP has contained articles by Scholars-Marvin Wilbur, Alpha Zeta, 1935, and Russell Newhouse,

WILL soothe Metro-GoldwynMayer's Mr. Fitzpatrick to learn that this illustrated Dixie travelogue is not a challenge, and that he may go on saying "farewell" to Imperial Delhi and Sidney, pride of Australia, without fearing competition. But Lew Lehr, who insists that monkeys iss the craziest people, may consider himself viciously intimidated.

On August 1, 1939 I received a telegram from Ogle Winston Link, mahatma of the camera and screwball, advising me that, quote, FRANK

quote. The F. R. business was included to impress Western Union. Pineapple Corrigan, a bugler in the Thomas B. Wanamaker Post Boy's Band, listened enthusiastically to my project for a melodramatic exodus from Brooklyn and agreed to provide a musical valediction capable of producing palpitation in the heart of Twentieth CenturyFox's Darryl F. Zanuck.

At ten o'clock, August 2, Link and I lined our sixteen suitcases along the curb in front of his house, forming a solid wall of cowhide twenty feet in length. There were two gigantic clothes trunks which we later dubbed "Papa"

and "Mamma," eight large cases of photographic equipment whose corporate title became "the Children" and six grips, the legitimacy of which we questioned each time we mentioned them. Into Link's Gainsborough blue 1938 Buick convertible coupe went this luggage collection. Shortly before eleven Pineapple Corrigan and three musical cronies came up the street shouting, "Boot! saddle! to horse and away!"

As Link backed the car on to Brooklyn's Eighth avenue, Bandmaster Pineapple Corrigan arrayed his two drummers and bugler in a single column formation. After a staccato drum bombilation the boys fanfared out with their original orchestration of Dixie.

Some notes were higher than normal, others lower, shorter or longer. But the effect was downright pompous.

From Eighth street to Third street our procession gleaned a host of the neighborhood's child life, several ex-

ers at the New York World's Fair is more interesting than taking pictures of Libbey-Owens-Ford glass products, Link assured me. In one Goodrich show he acted the role of a clown camerawoman. "I wore vivid makeup," he said, "and after the show I couldn't find any cold cream; somebody hid it. Took me two hours to rub the grease paint off. The rubbing made my face red as a drunk's nose.

So I called the whole thing off and went home to bed."

Between layers of bathing beauty pictures I came across a group picture of Dr. Harry S. Rogers, President of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute; Dr. James H. Kindelberger, President of North American Aviation, Incorporated; Dr. William 0. Hotchkiss, President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Dr. Albert L. Colston, President

of Brooklyn Technical High School.

Explaining the presence of such an imposing mobilization of doctors in a cheesecake layout, Link told me that he had photographed the distinguished gentlemen during Brooklyn Poly's 1939 commencement exercises and had delivered the film to his darkroom staff together with several he had exposed at a beauty contest in the Fair's Florida building. He included no description of the Poly picture on the plate holder's identification tag because he had made the shot on his own hook for his alma mater.

The caption writers squabbled over the identity of the four tuxedoed gentlemen. Victoriously, one shouted "They're the contest jttdges.'" ' "Gee wittacres," exclaimed another "they certainly are pickin' intelligen; lookin' judges these days."

"They're your judges, all right. Just look at the expression on their faces.

You gotta be a college man to get anywhere these days." said a third writer, clinching the argument.

The picture, captioned "Connoisseurs of Female Form," was released to all leading newspapers. Link spotted the mix-up in the nick of time and was able to "kill" the print by sending out sixteen dollars worth of airmailspecial delivery letters. "Respect for others knows no price," he says. "But I still think I put the finger on a lot of fun."

Richmond was warm and we began to anticipate unbearable heat throughout the south, but, during our month in Dixie, not once did we encounter the high temperatures recorded in New York City. Seminole Indians at the Fair admit that New York's heat makes them suffer. They will be glad to return to Florida "where it's cool in the summer and warm in the winter."

From Richmond, next day, we travelled 360 miles to Sumter, S.C. Link stopped the car frequently and attempted to purchase thirteen coconuts "with plenty of hair on them."

"I've got a boa-constrictor in the back of the car," he would tell local merchants confidentially. "Just a little one. About twelve feet long. He eats only coconuts; eats 'em shell and all.

Got him tied up with a shoestring."

We plotted a gullibility graph with the percentage of people who did not question the credibility of this story as the ordinate and our route from New York city to Miami as the abscissa.

Waving to people along the road taught us something about southerners' natural friendliness. Plotting our route against the percentage of citizens who returned our greetings, we produced a friendliness curve which was at a constantly high level from Richmond to Miami. The percentage of people who, instead of replying to our "hello," stared at us as if to say: "Who in hell do you think you areANYHOW?" was represented by a dotted hello yourself graph which went from the peak in New York to near zero in southern cities.

During breakfast in Sumter we received a telegram from a nationally distributed magazine requesting us to photograph a railroad scene in natural color. If suitable, the photograph would be used on the front cover. Towards mid-afternoon we located an effective setting for a Kodachrome train scene.

A single railroad track curved out of a pine forest and crossed a rustic timber trestle. We carried four cases of photographic equipment through an insect infested swamp to a position near the trestle. While Link set up his view camera, I walked along the right-ofway to the nearest station and asked the operator when the next train was due.

"There's a hot shot merchandiser gain' south in half an hour," the agent yelled to me over the clatter of a telegraph sounder.

Link was pleased to hear that a freight train was coming. "This color film is slow. Anything over twentyJive miles an hour will blur," he advised me.

Pretty soon we heard a deep, melodious whistle. A freight train came storming towards us Iickety-split. The agent's adjective, "hot shot," was more than railroad slang. "Slow him down," Link yelled to me.

The onrushing locomotive had already set the ground atrembling when I reached the roadbed near the bridge abutment. Waving my hand horizontally across the track in a "calm down" gesture, I received an hysterical response from the engineer. First, he popped half his body out of the cab window, saluting me with a series of wild whoops on the whistle en-route; then, assuming that the trestle was down and that I was the customary hero, he lunged for the brake valve.

I am not the hero type at all. That is the funny part of this tale.

The air went on with an angry hiss, brake rigging slammed with spiteful banging and, in the distance, there waS' a rapid-fire booming as the rear cars dosed up slack in the couplers.

There were fireworks; each wheel became a circular sparkler.

We ran, of course. Piled camera and cases into the car and refused to stop until we had crossed the St. Mary's

river which separates Georgia Florida. We never did make a railroad picture ; both of us come allergic to choo-choos.

That night we lodged in a neW on St. Augustine's beach. The tress, a youthful, known to everybody as ' designed the structure duri~g a 115 hospital confinement.

It was eight by the clock in the Miami Daily News tower when we arrived at our destination. Miami was ablaze with colors and shades of neon and fluorescent lighting. The air was clean and cool; white buildings floated in the light of a full moon.

Virginia Crawford (Miss Miami '38) and her sister, Sally, acted as our agents in Miami. Three times Virginia had been in New York exhibiting her refined comeliness for Miami publicity purposes. While photographing and entertaining her Link had become partial to her intrepid, demure personality.

In Coral Gables, a Miami suburb, Virginia lived with her parents. One of James Farley's boys had brought her a memo from Link warning her of our arrival. She was standing in the doorway when Link parked his car. He made a breathless dash up the walk; they met in a spirited embrace.

Walking over to the car, Virginia touched my arm softly and, in a warmly considerate voice that smashed fields of ice, said, "You're Bill."

In the Miami area that August there were about a thousand hotels, fortyfive abuilding. Virginia saved us from a whopping quarters quest by recommending the Patrician in Miami Beach. It is a new, six story concrete hotel with a private bathing beach in the rear. Our double room with twin beds and bath cost fifteen dollars a week; in "the season" it brings that much a day.

There occurred on the hotel's modernistic front porch a casual concourse of guests who struggled to regard our arrival with unconcerned interest.

When dealing with such inquisitive folks both Link and I invariably transform our geese into swans. The sixteen cases of clothes, still cameras and equipment became newsreel apparatus; we were newsreel men. "Hey, Bill!

Got that 3,000 feet of Eastman SuperXX ?" Link detonated. "Yeah, but I can't find the sound head."

In the focus of this vocal salvo was Virginia. She sat on the porch guarding our abnormal mountain of baggage; she didn't bat an eye.

In the Crawford home at dinner Sunday noon we met Sally, Virginia's 10

sister. Trig, buoyant, she possesses a captivating Jean Arthur voice. As a contractor's bookkeeper Sally had become quite an authority on physical Miami. In 1926, she told us over a cup of fleshy mango, a hurricane leveled the city killing hundreds. The city's administration drafted a stringent building code and a new Miami of concrete imbedded in coral arose. Derivable from its construction laws, Miami and its many suburbs is a consistently designed community with buildings of Spanish, Mediterranean and Modernistic architechure, well landscaped.

That afternoon we went sightseeing, Link, Virginia, Sally and I, Sally acting the guide. In the evening, with the rain-like rustle of the Royal palms in the background, we had dinner in town. And during the week we went swimming in the turquoise ocean, played miniature golf, skated on artificial ice, cheered the Crawford choices competing in the midget auto races and made side trips in Link's open car.

On one of our excursions we went to deteriorated Key West over the new highway which utilizes the abandoned Florida East Coast railway's roadbed, steel trestles and multi -arch concrete bridges. Near Long Key we paused to view a sincerely simple monument erected to the memory of some five hundred American army veterans who perished in the 1935 hurricane and tidal wave which obliterated their camp.

"They made a pyre of the wreckage," Sally told us. "We could see the glo11l in Miami. It was horrible."

Our commissions in the Miami vicinity consisted of photographing "landscapes with pretty girls in the foreground" for commerce chambers, and female clothing on the hoof for store advertising. Virginia had learned modeling by studying the pictures in Conde Nast's Vogue and Hearst's Harper's Bazaar. She is a professional mannequin and has appeared in nationally released ad copy and on magazine covers. A clever model, she has the ability to pose herself with a minimum of explanation from the photographer. Link used her in many of his pictures.

Sunday, August 13, was our last

day in Miami. Early in the Link and I concluded our ture with a three-hour exposu tropical sun's blow torch rays. a farewell dinner at the our legs literally turned on the Trichosis set in. b About 4:15 that fatal thirteentd of August we uttered a torture distinctly traveltalkish "farewell Miami, the metropolis "nearer the "On to New Orleans," Link quized, "even if all our skiP shrink."

A persistent drizzle set in entered the Everglades on the ami trial. Somewhere on the roadside we inspected the go~ mains of a cow that had been tered by an automobile. Patient, shouldered buzzards clustered 00 carcass, waiting for the flesh to before consuming it. Our frightened them, and they carelessly across the road, one striking a passing car.

Ted Russell

The summer of 1939 was at hand and political guns were firing from every angle. Much work had to be done if the race was to be successfully made. I received much encouragement and advice as I announced my candidacy in our two county new.spape~s: I was still in school. Thts poltttcal .field was new to me. My announcement began, "I am taking this opportunity of expressing my desire to represent you in the Mississippi Legislature. . ..

Because I am doing a considerable amount of work and cannot contact you individually, I take this m~ns ~f soliciting your vote. . . . Certamly 1t is time for the young man to carry the 'brunt of battle.' "

There were eleven of us in the race and the other ten had been making many contacts. My friends, schoolmates and fraternity brothers were wonderful to me. Some furnished me with an automobile, others made financial donations, and many more gave needed words of encouragement which would have been an inspiration to any young pe~son . Each morning I made my way to some new section of my county, met several hundred people, Then classes at the University were over for the summer and there were only nine weeks to go before the primary. On a half dozen occasions I appeared before large crowds, presented my ca~se, asked for support.

On two occastons I spoke prior to the man who was destined to become the successful candidate for governor.

Imagine my psychological reactions as I contrasted my own qualifications with the ability and experience of such a man.

On August 8 the .first test came.

From seven in the morning until six in the afternoon some 3,600 voters cast their ballots. I was there, trying to act natural as I met many whom I had met before: shook hands with many new acquamtances. I don't think my attempt to be natural was successful especially in view of the 24 hour wai; which followed the closing of the polls, a wait during which the votes were counted and recorded. I was the youngest of eleven in this race. How would (Contin11ed on page 18)

who attend the Supreme chapter meeting in Chicago next August will find a most delightful program covering four days in beautiful Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan, with headquarters at the palatial Congress Hotel overlooking Michigan Avenue and the lake front's Grant Park. Convention visitors will enjoy a brief vacation while the business is transacted in the chapter sessions. The program has been

planned for Pi Kapps to make the convention a vacation trip for themselves and their wives.

The initial social event is to be a re-

ception for the Pi Kapps and lady guests in the hotel Wednesday evening, giving all the old timers a chance to greet one another anew and affording everyone a chance to get acquainted in an informal holiday atmosphere.

Delegates to the 1936 Convention haven't yet forgotten the big party in Chicago on the way out to the Coast.

On Thursday morning the lady convention visitors will be the guests of Marshall Field and Company with an interesting tour through Chicago's oldest department store; luncheon and a style show in the afternoon ; that evening the ladies will see a motion picture preview in one of Chicago's loop theaters. On Thursday evening the men will take in a night baseball game at one of Chicago's major league ball parks, if possible, or at any rate some special event, to be followed by a tour of the night clubs. Rush Street and Chicago's Gay White Way will come to life for the Pi Kappa Phi visitors in what promises to be a feature attraction of the convention's entertainment.

On the following morning the ladies will tour Chicago's beautiful north shore, suburbs, Evanston, Winnetka,

Arrange Plans for Chicago Supreme Chapter (Continued from page 14)

the Congress Hotel for the Twentieth Supreme Chapter meeting. To some of you brothers six months may seem a long time to work out this detail but anyone familiar with the many fine hotels in Chicago will appreciate what a big job it was. Much credit is due our Chairman, Dick Blaschke, and Clare Arnold, Chairman of the Accommodations Committee.

The Congress Hotel is known the world over. Although it is one of our oldest hotels, the management has kept pace with the times and every modern convenience is available to the guests.

20

The Congress is located on Michigan Aver-me at the southeast corner of the famous "Loop" just two blocks from the world's greatest shopping center, State Street.

The hotel's greatest attraction, and incidentally this feature was the deciding issue with the committee, is the wonderful view of Lake Michigan and Grant Park. Places of interest such as the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, the Planetarium, Soldiers Field, etc. may be seen and are within walking distance of this famous hostelry.

The Congress is also noted for its large spacious and homelike guest rooms, as well as comfortable meeting and convention facilities. Every school boy in Illinois knows of famous "Peacock Alley" down which have paraded thousands of celebrities including every president and president-elect from the time of Theodore Roosevelt.

Distinguished Brother Dies Dr. E. Victor Smith, Alpha Delta, head of the physiology department at the University of Washington, died at his home in Seattle, September 28.

Besides his membership in Pi Kappa Phi, Dr. Smith was also a member of Sigma Xi, science honorary.

The widely-known educator was born in Brussels, Ontario. For a short time, he taught school in Cranbrook, Ontario. He was ordained into the Methodist Episcopal ministry in 1891 and held pastorates in Ontario and British Columbia. While serving as pastor of the Rainier Beach Methodist Episcopal Church here between 190911, he took his master of science degree at the University of Washington.

Dr. Smith received his degree of doctor of philosophy at Northwestern University in 1911, and the same year joined the faculty at the University of Washington as assistant professor of zoology.

In 1915, Dr. Smith became a Congregationalist and was ordained a minister of that denomination. He later

supplied in many Congregational; P tJ< Pits throughout the city as guest · on and speaker. While servJOg 'd rl>l.l university faculty he did co~st ~ 5 research in science and also dtd F~ work for the Washington State of tli eries Department. .

of its people, you will find that Louisiana meets all your requirements for ideal living conditions.

We selected that information because it is ironic. The FBI was cracking down on the striving State Government at the time, and every edition of the New Orleans newspapers screamed a new political outrage. In addition to these gags, I continued a practice of releasing pre-addressed penny postcards with "Having a wonderful time.

Wish you were here. (See postmark.)" printed across the writing space.

A country lawyer named Burns called on us Sunday morning. He had read in the paper that Link was in town doing magazine work and wondered if we would give him some journalistic advice on running "a red hot political campaign against Judge Johnson." All the characters in this sequence represent living persons who have provocation to be nasty. For that reason these names are .fictitious.

Mr. Burns expected some big city campaign posters. We failed him miserably. When we arrived in Bergville, Miss., where the election was to be held, one of Mr. Burns' party members offered us a paper sack of "evidence." It seems that the incumbent Johnson was a bad actor. Our first batch of throwaways read like this:

JOHNSON IS A CHEAT Passes Worthless Check To Raise A Little Cash

LOOK AT this picture of Johnson's bad check. D. P. Johnson gives loud voice to his professed reformation from opium smoking.

WILL JOHNSON, having only recently reformed, turn on his former associates? Will he need be aired out for a few years to clear his dope smoked system?

•

CONFESSION IS NOT QUALIFICATION

Mr. Burns said he was disappointed

in us. Said he thought we could have done better. Since half the town was on Judge Johnson's side, we gladly accepted an assignment to photograph a sunrise over Bayou Lafourche. Borrowing two magni.ficient Bergville belles to act as foreground figures, we left for the bayou location at one in the morning.

A trooper halted us at the Mississippi-Louisiana line and warned us against driving four in the front seat.

Another gendarme came up and looked us over. He recognized one of the girls as his wife!

We had an excited legal session in the moonlight. The policemen thought we could be held under the Mann act.

Escorting us back to Bergville, the troopers decided to forget the incident.

We were hailed into court next morning for parking on the wrong side of Bergville's two-block main throughfore. Judge Johnson presided.

"Now listen, you two," he drawled in time and a half. "I heard 'bout lass night an' I seen some of those cir· culars. If you boys aren't out of town in half an hour, I'm going to slap you in jail on this parking charge."

We left.

In McComb, Miss., two days later a blithe beauty who had modeled fo; Link when he was charged with Loui~iana's pictorial publicity two years previOusly requested us to remain in town and photograph her debut as a commentator on WSKB, the "voice of southwest Mississippi." With its beguiling Modernistic front the "Homelike MacDolan hotel," our McComb bivouac, was especially humbler than ~orne. "A!r-conditioned" by an eightmch Westmghouse oscillating fan, our room had blemished walls, casehardened beds, an artificial dirt floor and a chic cuspidor. .Mart~al is a piquant, imperturbable ~tnx. _Stmultaneou~ly she is a repartee1St, prrma donna, mgenue and sincere friend. Morpheus had palled our first night's confabulation when Marteal skillfully shanghaied it and simulated horror-struck histrionics. For a moment Link was stunned. I got scared and wanted to go home. To ease the situa-

21

tion, whatever it was, Link released a mighty guffaw.

How Marteal had included her act in a mediocre conversation concerning photography without our apprehending the metamorphosis remains as one of the minor mysteries of my life. But on with the dance. As the shock began to subside, Kay Penton, Marteal's chum and abetter, explained the performance.

She advised us that although Marteal is an unostentatious professiot:al actress, her theatriclll talents frequently assist in exhilarating a party which has read1ed the moribund stage. This might sound weird, but I am firmly convinced that Marteal, like Link, is an unpretentious exhibitionist.

Kay was right. Dynamized to liveliness, we embarked on a night of moonlight swimming. On the road, between reservoirs suitable for nocturnal navigation, Kay sang popular songs. Stars, full moon , a soft melody flowing from feminine lips- the combination was enravishing. Suddenly Kay crashed the beauty she had helped to create. She Jet go with "Deown bia tha raid rivea vale-ly," Judy Canova style.

Soon after the sun came up, Marteal suggested that if we would catch some fish she would cook them for our breakfast. In the yellow morning light Link took pictures of us fishing for our breakfast. After an hour of tempting the fish with worms we decided that the underwater life had probably swam right over the dam, so we called it a night and went home.

Apprehension seized us on August 24 when Link and I began to wonder what would happen if Judge Johnson was not an ex-dope fiend. Marteal grabbed a .22 rifle from her boudoir arsenal and demonstrated what she would do to that "mean ole Johnson man" if he acted fresh . We refused to accept her services as a belligerent and said "good bye." She would not permit us to leave until she had turned tables on us and took our picture. We were not good models; gave her all sorts of trouble.

That night, in Meridian, Miss., we plotted a fast route to Dalton, Ga., We took the right fork instead of the left at Livingston, Ala., and lost three hours. Outside of Montgomery, in the 22

same red mud state, we observed a negro riding a goat-drawn wagon. That spelt g-a-g p-i-c-t-u-r-e-s. We lost two hours. And, in all the towns we went through, traffic lights halted our progress. Besides erecting one tall, ugly building, most small towns attempt to act big by installing traffic lights. In one two-block village we were forced to drive through a series of three lights set progressive at twenty miles an hour.

We arrived in Dalton at two in the morning. At eleven the same morning, we visited the Hamilton family, friends of Link's mother. Mrs. Hamilton told me a short story about "0. Winston."

She said: "Link meets cat; Links beats cat; Link takes eat's picture."

It seems that a year previously he had dropped in on the Hamiltons at midnight and spent the rest of the night photographing the family's cat and dog. His pictmes of animals are masterpieces. He does not know whether he likes cats or hates them.

He can imitate their meowing well enough to carry on a one way conversation with a feline friend or foe.

We tried to make Charlotte, N.C., that afternoon but the Smoky Mountains cut our average speed two-thirds.

It was worth the extra time, though.

Being New Yorkers, Link and I were proud of the Catskills (known in many sections of New York city as "Kets-Kilz") and Adirondacks, but, now that we have seen the Smokies the hills of home are as inspiring as the mounds in Central park. It was almost one o'clock Sunday morning when we stopped at a tourist home in Gastonia, N.C., for the night.

For a year Link and I have been anticipating a visit with Richard L. Young, editor of THE STAR AND LAMP. Brother Young is a professional newspaperman, city hall reporter and columnist for the Charlotte News.

Just before noon I entered a telephone booth in a Charlotte drug store to look for R. L. Young in the phone book. According to the druggist, the address I found was six miles out of town. An hour later, after cruising in zig-zagged circles, we stopped at a house to request directions.

An attractive girl answered the door in the approved southern hospi-

tality manner and told us that··l! name of her folks was Yongue. ) name's Lucille." The reader had follow closely now. Lucille said that the Young we were · ce ,. for lived down the road a pte that he probably was not th~ ~a~u· . were looking for because hts 111 p~· are L. R., not R. L. She was very 'p.

Lucille invited us in, and we for over an hour. Had Lucille New Yorker, we would have greeted by a "what'se idear o' me" grunt issuing from a chained I told her how hospitable she strangers that we were. Her replY "Southerners like folks."

At 2021 Ashland avenue we Mrs. Young who told us that her band had taken a group of boY: "Boys State" meeting in Ch.ape earlier in the day.

Quint Captain Fred Beretta, a member of the Purdue chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, who has

been an outstanding member of Putdue's justly noted basketball teams for the past two seasons, has been signally honored by being named as captain of the 1939-40 quintet.

Beretta, a native of Bedford, Ind., where he was an outstanding high school performer, was one of the mainstays of the Boilermaker quintet last fall. Although his leech-like guarding was the main factor in leading to his selection on many honor quintets at close of the season, he was equally e.ff~ctive when it came to chalking up potnts.

During the Big Ten campaign of 12 games, Beretta managed to slip down the floor enough to average slightly over 5 points a game, picking up a total of 62 points, while for the season as a whole he averaged nearly 5 points a game for 19 games with a total of 93 points.

who was promoted to the varsity football squad in mid-season. Ray is only a sophomore, but his exceptional play at end this season should turn into the sensational during the next two years. "Chuck" Peterson accompanied the crew to Oregon during November as stroke of the ]. V. boat. Jim Moore was forced to drop out of crew competition this semester as the result of an injured foot. However, we have great hopes for him next semester. Jim, called ''Jungle Jim" by the brothers because of his massive physique, is a tower of strength in any boat and may row varsity next spring.

"Mouse" Van den Bosh Jived up to advance hope by proving himself to be a mainstay on the Frosh soccer team.

It has been learned recently that James Norgard, '36, is the proud papa of a potential Pi Kapp. Ken Wheeler, '39, captain of the Bears championship water polo team and rated All-American, has apparently shed his water wings since graduation. He has recently received his appointment as ensign in the U. S. Naval Supply Corps at Philadelphia. Charles Osborn, '39, past archon, was also appointed an ensign recently, and is now scheduled to be attached to the U.S.S. Miuissippi. The second generation seems to be rolling in now, for following the initiation of Charles Hardy, son of Dave Hardy, class of '13, comes Ben laffiin, Jr., whose father was one of Dave Hardy's pals back in 1913. Lee Emerson, '38, former archon, has announced his engagement to Miss Murrial Stoll, Sigma Kappa, '39. The wedding will take place in the near future. Ben Stotts, '39, is already on his way as an investigator for a retail credit company in Contra Costa County. Frank Washburn and Claude Sutter have been frequent visitors at the house and are always welcome. Francis McErnery, '36 is now the proprietor of a prosperous gro~ery concern in Dunsmuir. Ray Bottari, '36 was married recently to his San Francis~o sweetheart. Very good news to Pi Kapps was the speedy recovery of Pete Van den Bosh who fractured his back in an automobil~ accident. After eight months of lying on his back in a heavy cast, Pete is now well and has been around shaking hands with the fellows at the house.

semester. Euta has been a real asset to the chapter during his three years at Furman serving admirably as treasurer for tw~ years. Belton Hammond was selected for the thankless job that Euta relinquished.

Mel Brooker took over the secretary's post and Kirk Allen was elected historian. s~ ~eacham and Billy Hughes were placed 10 the offices of warden and chaplain respectively. ' During the summer months, Mel Brooker and Paul Chapman, who is now at the University of South Carolina, put in a great many hours at the house, cleaning out the cellar, repainting it, and finally converting it into a game room. The work of these two, along with the "side-line" advice of ever-helpful BiJJy Hughes, had much to do with the attractiveness of our house during rushing season.

Back to recent activities, the chapter enjoyed a fine spaghetti supper at the home of Brother Hughes, which was followed a few weeks later by a costume barn dance.

No one was admitted to the latter function unless he or she was dressed in the height of "hill-billy" fashion-and I can vouch that most of them were--and how ! !

The chapter lost several men last year through graduation and transfer. Milton WiJJiams is now working for the FBI in Washington. Charlton Armstrong has transferred to Emory, in Atlanta. Walt Stevens is supposedly laboring away in Lancaster, S.C. Hank Spires, after finishing a successful baseball season with a Yankee "farm" team, is selling automobiles in Greenville.

Wilborn Rucker is a bond salesman for a leading company in this locality. Bill Anderson is in the city of Richmond studying at the Union Seminary. Brother Hopkins is at far-off Texas University learning how to rope oil wells. Penn Acree is employed by a tobacco company in Mullins, S.C. KIRK ALLEN, Historian

This year sees all of our recently graduated alumni hard at work, with Ken Lawson in a Harlan, Ky., bank, Bobby Gish attending medical school at Richmond, and Don Davidson with the Herald Presr in Charlotte. Paul Cooper is busy selling Mercury autos in Roanoke, and Sam Hemphill is about to take over Dun and Bradstreet in Winston-Salem. Bidwell Ivey is employed in Rock Hill, S.C., while Jim Ballard hopes to enter government aeronautical study in the immediate future.

The following officers have been selected by the chapter to serve during the first term: Julian Lokey, archon; Herbert Swasey, treasurer; Frank Simmons, secretary; !Jorace Reeves, warden; Tom Fry, chap! am; Paul Bumbarger, pledgemaster; and Marion Mobley, historian.

In September we completed one of the most thoroughly successful rush week campaigns in the history of Epsilon chapter,

25

pledging sixteen freshmen and one sophomore. Success was made possible largely through the efforts of Julian Lokey, who, with the assistance of Louis Hite and Paul Bumbarger, led our summer campaign. The pledges follow: T. Gay Brough, Ft. Myers, Fla.; John Knox Robinson, Derita, N .C.; John McCrea, Miami, Fla.; Clarence McArthur, Rutherfordton, N.C.; Ed Murray, Raleigh, N.C.; George Horan, Dalton, Ga.; Leon Payne, West Palm Beach, Fla.; Erskine Parks, Bristol, Va.; Bob Patton, Rutherfordton, N .C.; Bob Gowdy, Miami, Fla.; Calhoun Hipp, Greenville, S.C.; Lawrence Miller, Florence, S.C.; Joe Smith, WinstonSalem, N.C.; Don Williamson, High Point, N.C.; Jack Wayman, Miami, Fla.; and Frank Logan, Rutherfordton, N.C. Brothers and pledges participated in an enjoyable round of homecoming festivities on the week end of November 3 and 4. We had as our guests at the game, dances and banquet, Brothers Ken Lawson, Bidwell Ivy, and Marion Davis. We were also honored by the presence of two members of the faculty, Dr. Vowells and Major Ballard and their wives, at our banquet on Saturday night.

Sigma

South Carolina

Sigma chapter topped off a successful year last June and celebrated with its annual spring formal. The dance was held in the University gymnasium, and was attended by other local Greeks and many Pi Kapps from over the state.

In the annual elections of the various campus organizations, Pi Kappa Phi took the following honors: president of the Carolina Camera Club, Raymond Davis; president of the University Dramatic club, member of the Student Board of Publications and editor of the Y.M.C.A. publications, Jimmy Wilson; president of the Newman Club, Miles McCormick; editor of the Blr1e Key Directory, Bruce Hunt; and membership in Kappa Sigma Kappa, local honorary service fraternity, David Murray and Raymond Davis.

Two brothers received their diplomas last June--Maxcy Harrelson, who has entered the South Carolina Medical College at Charleston; and Ben Fishburne, who has returned to Carolina as an instructor in the department of foreign languages.

During the summer the chapter moved into East Rutledge College, where we have more room and better qua.rters. Several additional rooms were added in the new set-up, including a badly needed recreation room with a ping-pong table, and phone room .

Before the opening of this season the rooms were completely renovated and new draperies hung.

New officers elected for this semester are: Bill Carrigan, archon; Fred Quinn, treasurer; Bruce Hunt, secretary; and Jimmy Wilson, historian.

26

At Carolina we have a rush season of two weeks-the first two weeks of school.

At the end of the last week there is a silent period, after which comes pledging.

This year Sigma pledged nine. They are: John McGowan and Tommy Truluck, Timmonsville, S.C.; Ernie Lent, Columbia, S.C.; John Holland, Ninety Six, S.C.; "Jess'' Tatum, Tatum, S.C.; Charles Swygert, Spartanburg, S.C.; Billy Cullum, Batesburg, S.C.; Gordon McLaurin, Dillon, S.C.; and Eddie Williams, York, S.C. Among the parties enjoyed by the chapter and its rushees were a dance at Sloan's Dance Studio, a party at Brother Billy Monckton's Golf Course, a buffet supper at Pledge Jimmy Merchant's home, a hayride to Lake Murray, and a fish-fry at Brother John D. Carroll's summer home near Lexington.

The actives and pledges of Sigma chapter are looking forward to attendance at the South Carolina State Conclave which is to be held in Greenville December 10.

JIMMY WILSON, Historian

Zeta

Wofford

Zeta chapter had a gloomy aspect at the beginning of this school year. Only two actives and five pledges returned to school.

Three of these pledges were initiated several weeks after the opening of the session.

Thus, five actives and two pledges had the difficult task ahead of pledging enough good men to retain the chapter's internal stability and record of good standing on the campus.

One formal party was allowed each of the fraternities during rush season. Our party consisted of a dinner, followed by a hayride, and was eminently successful. As rushing continued we secured invaluable aid from local alumni and when formal pledge day arrived, we shook the hands of twenty new men, all but two of whom were Spartanburg boys. These men entered into the activities of the chapter immediately.

The chapter rooms were redecorated, while a new record-player was added to our equipment.

Two Zeta members are varsity football men. "Harv" Atwater plays in the line, while "Bud" Burnett is a backfield mainstay. Both of these men are regulars and have seen a great deal of action, although "Bud" was out several weeks with an injured knee.

Among last year's alumni: F. J. Brownley, Jr., is seeking his M.S. in chemistry at Clemson, where he received a fellowship; S. W. Burnett, Jr., is studying medicine at the College of Charleston; and B. E. Sanders has a fellowship at the University of Georgia, where he is pursuing his M.S. degree in chemistry.

We closed our chapter year last June at the annual senior banquet. The chapter presented each of the seniors with a knife bearing the Pi Kapp shield as a graduation gift. In turn the seniors gave the chapt.er a year's subscription to several magaztnes.

New officers installed after the banquet were: Roy Forrester of Dillon, Mont., archon; Johnny Beck of Manchester, N.H., secretary; E. S. Delaney of Charlotte, N.C., treasurer; Mike Morgan of Savannah, Ga., chaplain· Hal Ingram of High Point, N.C., warden; 'and Charles Taylor of Legion, Tex., historian.

Getting off to a good start in September, we had three brothers elected to offices in various campus organizations for thi~ school year. Sam Williams was elected senwr representative of Student Government; Charles Henderson won the post of secretary of the junior class; and E. S. Delaney was elected a member of the Publications Board. Brothers Liles Purcell and Barringer are members of the B.O.S., honorary fraternity for sophomores. Bob Curry is treasurer of .th.e Pre-Med Society. Brother Forrester was tnttiated into Tombs, honorary athle~ic association. Brothers Kirkman and Lattmer are on the varsity boxing squad.

We initiated eight men on October 1, bringing our total membership up to 34.

Those coming into the brotherhood at that time were: Paul Whitesides, York, S.C.; George and Hugh Prince, Dunn, N.C.; Paul Barringer, Sanford, N.C.; Harold Hawfield, Concord, N.C.; Menese Gardner, Lockhaven, Pa.; Headen Bynum, Rock Hill, S.C.; and George Liles, Charlotte, N.C. Banks Cates of Charlotte, N.C., was pledged in mid-October.

Mu has held open-house after every ho~e game this season. On October 21, whtch was our homecoming day, open-house hours were from 11 A.M. to 6 P.M., and many visiting alumni were entertained. Sandwiches and cold drinks were served as refreshments.

Several of the brothers went to Atlanta for the Duke-Georgia Tech game, and visited Iota. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hospitality and extreme generosity-they were really swell to us.

Kappa chapter at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, is in the early stages of revival. Mu will initiate Kappa's pledges when developments have reached that stage.

We take pleasure in announcing the initiation of Clyde Cinnamond, Ed Gelinas, Richard Newman, and Harold Carter. Lewis Stone and Paul Crosier have been added to the pledge class, bringing our total to 13, a goodly number since pledging of freshmen is yet to come, as this is being written, due to operation of the deferred system.

Xi is well represented in college organizations and offices. Among the seniors we have Harold Fariss as president of the Biology Club. Harold made a very adept leader for the opening set of German Club dances. Lucian Hiner is president of Xi Theta Chi, business manager of the Collegian, member of Blue Key, and assistant manager of the varsity football team.

very promising are recruits Dick Butler, Curt Welborn, and Pat Warfield.

In varsity wrestling- Cliff Curtis, "Hap" Laughlin, and "Tiger" Mcinerney, the latter a two-year letterman in the 136-pound class. This is "Tiger's" final bid for an undefeated season-so here's hoping.

In basketball-Pat Searfoss, Bob Gregerson, Steve Hanasik, and Ronnie Thompson, who was last year's captain. This year the team's prospects are very bright and it's a cinch that these four will not hinder the team's progress any!

But to prove that all the concentration is not upon athletics, we turn to other extracurricular activities. In the Glee Club we have warblers Curt Welborn, Prent Eager, Dick Butler, and John Handy; on the staff of the Ring Tum Phi, school newspaper, are AI Darby and Pat Warfield; drawing cartoons for the school magazine is Paul Slocumb; playing in the Southern Collegians dance orchestra is Cliff Curtis; and debating lists Mickey Disney.

Honors have come to Rho recently. Bob Summerall, treasurer of the Interfraternity Council, was elected vice-president of the freshman Jaw class. Three have received bids to honorary societies-Pat Searfoss to Pi Alpha Nu, sophomore social organization; Ken Van de Water to Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity; and Ken Cle~­ daniel to Phi Eta Sigma, freshman scholastic honorary. Clendaniel was also elected president of the Virginia State Baptist Student Union at the convention held in Richmond during October. In this capacity he will be associated with the work of Baptist college students in 17 southern states.

Tau

North Carolina State

Pushing forward with new vigor this year Tau chapter is proud to announce that thre~ pledges of last year have been initiated. They are: Whit Benton, a sophomore in chemical engineering from Wilmington; Walter Glad and Wilton Smith, seniors in electrical engineering from Castle Hayne, N.C., and Ransomville, N.C., respectively.

Looking back over summer vacation, the high spot as far as State Pi Kapps are concerned was the house party held at Nag's Head, N.C., the latter part of August. For five days Pi Kapps and their dates danced, played, and swam in this pleasure. spot where the blue Atlantic waves roll tn . In addition Tau chapter has not neglected social activities this quarter, giving a house dance shortly after school started, and continuing with a hay-ride recently.

New pledges this quarter are Jack Darden, blonde mechanical engineering freshman from Farmville, N .C.; Charles Latham, genial freshman in agricultural economics from Bellehaven, N .C.; and Jack Dail, agriculture freshman from Winterville.

H. S. Gibbs, senior member of the Interfraternity Council, was selected by that group as chaisman of the dance committee in charge of the first formals of the school year, the pledge dances. Jack Darden, Pi Kapp pledge, led the figure. Bob White is co-captain of the varsity swimming team.

Bruce Halsted has the important position of news editor of the campus newspaper, the T echnician. Gregg Gibbs is junior representative on the Engineer's Council, the ruling body in the engineering school.

Improvements to the house include repapering of the dining room and phone room and the purchase of a deep red rug for the living room. We have also purchased a neon sign for the front of the house.

Chapter officers are Boye Smith, archon; Thurston McNeeley, secretary; Bob White, treasurer; Bruce Halsted, historian; Graham Coward, chaplain; and Clyde Coward ' warden.

Chi

Stetson

Chi chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is well started on what appears to be a most successful term. Seven men were initiated into the chapter: Gadi Lawton, John Kurtz, Robert Northridge, William Davis, Walter McDonell, Lanier Smith, and Wyman Harvard.

After the initiation the rushing season began and 23 men were pledged. They are: Ted Boutwell, John Daniels, Jack Wilson Bry_an Jennings, Fritz Roach, Wallac~ Smtth, Mac Fergurson, Gene Lloyd, Walter Gravely, Hugh Gower, William Brennan, John Carlton, Henry Keith, Frank Foltz James Barley, Hubert Jacobs, Joe Pelter: Early Tyler, Sam Stone, Gordon Parker, James Baldwin, Ernest Machen, Howard Babcock.

In the lield of sports we find the Pi Kappa Phis well represented on the gridiron by Gadi Lawton, Ben Smith, Bob Gaughan, Lyn Cheatham, Walt McDonell Lanier Smith, ~yman Harvard, and pledge~ Gene Lamb, Vtn Stacey, and Ed Hughes.

Eleven members of the freshman football squad are pledgc;s of this chapter, under Aschon Tom Ktrkland and Brother Vin Schaefer, who are the freshman coaches. Our intramural basketball team walked away with the winner's cup, losing only one game in the race for the title.

Pi Kappa Phi also has men in the offices of student organizations. Brother Gadi Lawton was elected vice-president of the Liberal Arts College. Brother Hunter is the captain of the Mystic Krewe, men's honorary society. Pledge Ernest Machen was elected president of the freshman class, while Pledge Bryan Jennings was elected vice-president of the same class.

Several informal dances have been held at the house. At Homecoming ceremonies the social life of the fraternity was boosted even further and now all of us are looking

29

forward to December 10, when Founders' Day will be observed by all members of the fraternity in this vicinity.

Among our alumni we find Dick Branhan and Ray Cagni, '37, coaching at Ft. Pierce and Pahokie, respectively. "Peanuts" Hulbert, past archon, is teaching at Palatka high school.

Officers for the current term are: Archon, Tom Kirkland; Treasurer, Jimmy Nelson; Secretary, Gadi Lawton; Historian, Bob Crowell; Chaplain, Ben Smith; Warden, Truett Stoudenmire.

Alpha Lambda chapter chalked up another score in September by pledging the following students: Carl Cox, Shreveport, La.; Harry Lynch, Waveland, Miss.; Ed Beemon, Tylertown, Miss.; Dewitt Alire?, Collins, Miss.; Clinton Woods, Memphts, Tenn.; Jimmy Johnson, Memphis, Tenn.; James King, Heidelberg, Miss.; Charlie Mills, Tupelo, Miss.; Bob Brady, Waterbury, Conn.; and Billy Butler, Pontotoc, Miss.

Following rush week, we moved into our new rooms on the campus. Everyone in the chapter is working to improve the appearance of the rooms, build up the membership, and keep up the general morale.

A banquet was held at College Inn for the pledges, at which many plans were laid for the year. The pledges are taking keen interest in the work of the chapter.

A special meeting was called in October for the initiation of Dalton Parker, of Lucedale, Miss. We are pleased to welcome him into the inner circle of the brotherhood.

So far this year Alpha Mu has pledged 11 men. Two of these 11 are town boys: Fred Doggett, '43, M.E., son of an E.E .

Prof.; and Bob Struck, '42, Chern. Eng., son of an I.E. Prof. The other new men are: Dick Grimes, '42, M.E.; Bob Watkins, '42, D.H.; Palmer Davis, '43, Chem.Eng.; Bob Scott, '43, Chern.; Joe Quickel, '43, I.E.; Don Boyer, '43, JJ.; Ed Pollock, '43, L.D.; Dave Back, '43, Chem.Eng.; Jack Watson, '43, Chern. Eng. With this group of pledges Alpha Mu got off to a good start. October 14 was Alumni Day at Penn State and it turned out to be one of the best the chapter has had.

There were about thirty grads back with us, and we celebrated by winning a cup for lawn display. It was good to see so many alumni here.

As usual, interfraternity athletics are with us. This year our football team started out strong with a victory over Alpha Kappa Pi, but Phi Kappa Psi eliminated us from the race when they took the second game on our schedule. Thus, we turn to the next intramural sport-swimming. Our team has a fair chance to win the cup we believe.

At this writing, the horse-shoe pitching team has won two consecutive meets.

Social program to date has consisted primarily of frequent victrola dances and fall house party. The latter event was far and away the best of the session thus far. About thirty brothers and pledges with their dates were in attendance, and the affair was very successful, FRANK A. STEINHILPER, Histori<m

Alpha Xi

Brooklyn Poly

At the beginning of the fall semester an election of new officers was held. Brother Roger Kaller, who has now held every office with the exceptions of secretary and chaplain, was elected archon. Others elected were: Treasurer, Winfield Peay; Secretary, John Anderson; Chaplain, Edwin Olson.

The remaining offices retained their former incumbents.

Our annual rush dance was held at the house this year. Defying superstition, the brothers chose Friday, October 13, as the day. Rushees were in attendance, along with several alumni. Shortly after the rush dance came formal pledging, at which time 11 men announced Pi Kappa Phi as their choice. However, we did not stop rushing for it is the hope of the chapter to increase the size of the pledge group by at least fifty per cent during the course of the school year.

National President William J. Berry commended 'this plan when he spoke to members and pledges at our regular chapter meeting October 27.

October 23, Russell H. Atkinson, '41, and John R. Carlson, '42, became brother's via formal initiation.

Getting the pledges into the swing of things, they were told to make plans and preparations for a social affair. Their response was immediate, and on Friday evening, November 17, the first pledge dance was held. All of us were pleased with the

31

success of the dance, and the pledges have decided to hold similar affairs in the future.

Alpha Omicron

Iowa State

Alpha Omicron has been doing some very successful rushing this fall. By living up to our quota of one new pledge each week we are looking forward to a bigger and better chapter by the end of the school year. At the fall initiation Alpha Omicron put through the following: Robert Rannells, Robert Fink, Edward Hatch, Wayne Moore, and William Hambly.

At a recent election, held to .fill the vacancies caused by graduation, these men became chapter officers: Leonard Hart, pledgemaster; Thomas Knaggs, warden; and John Rigg, social chairman.

This fall found the members of the chapter working diligently about the house.

They were completing the many improvements that we have long been waiting for.

Our big social event to date was the fall dance held at the Ames Country Club.

Many of the alums were back, and everyone had a wowing good time. We are· now hitting the 'ole books in order to come through scholastically.

JIM HBMSTRBBT, Histori~n

Alpha Tau

Rensselaer

Under Rushing Chairman Perc Cummings Alpha Tau .finished a successful season with the pledging of 14 men. They are: Kerry Pratt, Donald Laos, Jerry Cooke, Herbert Foley, Robert Wilson, Charles Mathews, William Howes, Larry Albre, Lane Christ, John Hoffman, Donald Whelan, William Roberts, Charles Erichsen, and Fred Wilson.

Week ends have been livelier than ever this year with a capacity crowd living in the chapter house and everybody turning out for our Saturday night "vic" parties. As usual, the biggest week end of the fall was the last in October when R.P.I. competed with Union College of Schenectady, our perennial rivals. The loss of the varsity football game did not dampen anyone's spirits, however, as the success of the chapter's post-game dance in the Hotel Troy attested.

Union week end is also alumni homecoming at Alpha Tau and many of our alumni brothers were to be seen around the house at that time. Among them were Roy Purchase, Bill Simms, Bob Goodman, George Price, Bob Fuchs, Dick Atlee, Jack Jubin, Ed Oark, Harvey Leich, Jack Haverstick, Nels Nelson, Dary Belshaw, Bill McAuley, Don Bridgewater, and Bob Bergman. Brothers Price and Goodman were married in October and were accompanied by their wives.

We regret to announce that Jack Dempsey has been recently confined to the hospital with a fractured vertebra. Jack earned his Jetter in varsity football and played a

Alpha Upsilon

Drexel

Alpha Upsilon started off the year by adding five new men to its rolls. They are Johnny Bartle, Bob Kiehl, Fred Kraber, Dick Miller, and Jack Richter. The initiation was held October 29. Following the ceremony the new brothers joined the rest of the chapter at an informal initiation supper. In addition to these new brothers, four upperclassmen have been pledged and will be taken into the chapter at the next initiation. They are Ray Davis, Ed Simian, Bill Crawford, and Glenn Kennedy.

The social season was opened with an informal house dance on September 29; and on October 21, Drexel's Pi Kapps "put on the dog" for the Fall Term house formal.

All the boys dug deep into their trunks, pulled out the soup and .fish, looked over the new freshmen in the women's dorm, and flattered the sweet young lassies by affording them their .first taste of a college formal. Glenn Arden supplied the music, and some of the alumni, returning for Drexel's alumni homecoming, supplied the entertainment.

On November 3, Alpha Upsilon joined the rest of the fraternities in presenting the interfraternity ball. It was held at the RitzCarleton Hotel in Philadelphia, with Red Norvo and his orchestra providing the music. Archon Virg Groo, who is vicepresident of the Interfraternity Council was a member of the committee in charge of the ball, and announced that for the first time in anybody's memory, the I-F ball made money. On Saturday night following the ball, the chapters held open house for those who attended the ball, at which all the houses were open to visitors from other houses and to non-fraternity students. This open house idea was originated a couple of years ago in an attempt to make a week end affair out of the ball, and thus far it seems to have worked successfully.

The chapter was saddened by the news of the death of Brother Bud Boyer on October 30. Bud, though an alumnus for several years now, had lived in the house recently and was well known to all the brothers. He had done much toward beautifying and improving the house, as well as serving as a good and wise counsellor to many of the brothers. He had been ill for some time in the Lankenau Hospital here in the city. Brothers Jimmy Haislip and Jimmy Todd gave blood transfusions in the attempt to have his life.
