TRIBUTE to a BROTHER " y sacrifice is small and gladly given if I have accomplished but a small part of the great job before all peoples."

W1th these words Brother William Freeny Ward, Epsilon, concluded his last will and testament. Not long thereafter, as an Ensign in the United States Navy, he was reported missing in action when his ship was torpedoed off Savo Island.

We waRt you to know the challenge which is Bill Ward's heritage, a challenge of love, honor, loyalty and humility to his family, his fraternity, his many friends. His generosity in his material bequests ex. emplifies the life he lived, but above and beyond this, the simplicity and honesty with which he wrote his last letter was the key to a character appreciated and admired by all who really got to know him.

"I, William Freeny Ward, being of sound mind and body on this, the fourth day of October the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and forty two · and being under no duress or threat, do hereby write this my last letter, including my last will, which shall be opened and exhibited upon definite proof of my death.

"I do truly, earnestly and humbly thank my God that I was born and lived in a free country among free people where family was respected and justice the foundation of Jaw. I thank God for my home, the peace and security that could prevail under any Circumstance. ''May all men grow to embody the characteristics of rightness and fairness tempered with kindness, love, and tolerance that were my Father and Mother. May the generations to follow in the new free world for which I fought and died take some of the goodness and sweetness that is Hers and the honesty and good companionship that is His with them forever .

"May my wife, who gave me such love and understanding as I had not thought possible, find a whole life that God has intended for her with a home and children to worship at her feet.

Capt. John W. Oswalt An artillery officer turned flier, Capt. John W. Oswalt, Omega, 1941, has been awarded both the Air Medal and Silver Star for gallantry and intrepidity as an aerial observer for artillery fire.

The Silver Star was awarded on Feb. 15 at the Anzio beachhead in Italy where · according to the citation he "was flying a Piper Cub without observer at approximately 3,500 feet and was personally adjusting artillery fire on several gun positions.

During one fire mission, two 88mm shells burst almost simultaneously around his plane. After d·iving and side slipping to 2,000 feet, where the firing ceased, Capt. Oswalt observed that his wing was damaged.

However he continued adjusting for an hour and a half, neutralizing several gun positions. The outstanding courage, efficiency and complete disregard for his own welfare displ!iyed

by Capt. Oswalt reflect great credit upon himself and the military serv-

ice. " Captain 0 s waIt was with the original landing troops on the African coast in December 1942. As a squadron commander he first trained pilots for aerial observation and in the last ten days of the Tunisian campaign was in combat. ;Later he participated in the landing ,at Salerno and subsequently wa!) , at the Cassino front where he established a field with his own mess of 43 men and eight planes. While there he volunteered for moonlight flying and adjustments 'Yithout night fl ying instrum ents, navigation, landing or field lights. The enemy was using flashlight ammunition and could not be spotted during the day. At night the reflection of their gu ns could be caught by camera and Capt. Oswalt volunteered for the mission to spot these positions. His work was so original , daring and effective that he was awarded the Air Medal.

Capt. Oswalt was graduated from Purdue University in 1941 and after completing four years training in 16

the ROTC received a reserve commission of second lieutenant of field artillery. He entered the service in July, 1941 and was promoted to first lieutenant while serving at Fort Bragg where he applied for the "grasshopper" training course at Fort Sill.

Capt. Oswalt's home is at Lafayette, Ind. , where his mother , Mrs. Grace L. Oswalt, resides at 205 Perrin Ave.

Capt. Corky Smith Captain Cornelius M. Smith, jr., Xi, Brooklyn, N. Y. who has shot down nine Japanese planes, has climbed to the top in the " Battle of the Smiths"-a private war among members of the Smith clan flying in the southwest Pacific.

Although the name Smith is as common on the various battle fronts as at home no particular notice was taken of th~ number of Smiths in the 5th Air Force or their exploits until an officer recorded the name of the thirty-sixth Smith cre~ited with knocking Japanese planes out of the sky.

A check of the records showed that Captain Smith (Corky to his friends), recently made operations officer of the famed Head Hunter squadron, was engaged in a lively battle with a half dozen of the clan.

His two most recent air victories, which brought his total to nine, gives him a clear lead over his competitors in the Battle of the Smiths, the Army announcement said. In second place, with seven Japanese planes to his credit, is Lieutenant Richard E. Smith, of EvansVille, Ind. Both of the leaders in the private war fly P-38 type planes.

A veteran of sixteen months of combat with the Head Hunter Squadron, one of the first to reach the Southwest Pacific after war was declared, Capta~n Smith has flown more than 150 combat missions and has received the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters.

The Head Hunter Squadron named because of the fierce and dare-devil tactics employed by its members, has shot down 172 Japanese planes, the equivalent of seven squadrons, to rank second in the total number of Japanese planes destroyed in the Southwest Pacific area.

Captain Smith, twenty-five years old, and the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Smith, is a graduate of Manual Training High School, Brooklyn, and Roanoke College, Va,., where he studied business admiiW stration. He became interested in aviation while in school and he frequently flew in planes he rented at Floyd Bennett Field .

CAPT. JOHN W. OSWALT

Lieut. Harry T. Wohlers, Alpha Xi, 27 year old son of Mr. anq Mrs. F. T. Wohlers, of Clifton, N. Y., bas been decorated with the Silver Star for gallantry in action. He is a navigator on a USAAF B-24 Liberator.

on a mission against an important enemy aircraft factory in southern Germany. Due to the tremendous importance of the target the group was instructed to take off and lead the wing formation despite the severe weather conditions which threatened the success of the mission. Hindered by shifting winds and by the failure of some navigational equipment in the plane, Lieut. Wohlers led the formation for four and a half hours over solid depths of clouds deep into southern Germany until he had brought his group directly over the target and located it through a momentary break in the clouds. He then quickly turned the formation through an J!Xtremely heavy concentration of anti-aircraft fire and back to the target on an axis from which it was bombed with devastating effect. Lieut. Wohlers then directed his group on the 650 mile flight over solid overcast to its home base and by his perfect navigation safely guided the formation around numerous anti-aircraft defenses thereby avoiding damage and possible loss of aircraft and personnel. By his extraordinary proficiency in navigation, together with his superior leadership and personal example as shown throughout over 28 successful missions against the enemy, Lieut. Wohlers has reflected great credit upon himself and the armed forces of the United States of America."

Lieut. Wohlers was sent to England in September, 1943 and has since seen action in 路 England, Africa, Sicily and Italy where be is now serving as a ground officer after having completed his combat missions in lV.ray 1944.

Lieut. Wohlers was archon of AlPha Xi Chapter for the spring term, 1938. He is an accomplished photographer and mathematical genius.

"he was selected to perform duties of lead navigator of heavy bombardment formations and each time his high degree of technical skill materially aided on causing vast damage to important enemy installations. " His courage, coolness and skill under most hazardous conditions were a constant inspiration to all flying with him."

Capt. McNeely entered the Air Corps in January, 1941 and received his diploma in navigation at Miami, Fla., in August 1941. A year later he was sent to England and on March 18, 1943, in a raid on the continent, be was wounded slightly. In May, 1943 he received the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.

SERVES AT SANTO TOMAS Unselfish service of Earl Carroll Alpha Eta, to the civilian internee~ at Santo Tomas University Camp Manila, Philippines, is related b~ Ray Cronin, Associated Press correspondent in a letter to his father ' L. A. Carroll, of Slocomb, Ala. Brother Carroll was first in Manila as foreign secretary to the YMCA Board of New York, after which he went to Honolulu and established an office for the Insular Insurance Company for the Philippines. He built a home there and resided there until November ~941 when the company requested h1m to return to Manila to direct its offices. Pearl Harbor soon followed and in a short time he was interned.

No word had· been received from Brother Carroll by his wife who since April 1942 has resided at Palo Alto, Calif., until September this year when she received a brief message from him through the Japanese Red Cross. Occasionally indirect word of him came from repatriates who returned on the Gripsholm in September 1942 and December 1943.

The most notable of these mes•sages was the letter received from Mr. Cronin who was repatriated in December of last year.

Mr. Cronin's letter is as follows: Dear Mr. Carroll: "It is a pleasure to write you about your good son, Earl, who was one of my closest friends in the Santo Tomas Camp at Manila. Earl was our first camp executive chairman and his grand work will never be forgotten by the · internees. During the past year, or up to the time we left September 26, Earl was chairman of our all-important finance and supplies committee and an ex-officio member of the executive committee. His fine work for all of us was so outstanding that words cannot express it. Suffice it to say that he was No. 1 man in, the camn and his choice was fortunate , becau~e he pulled us out of many hole!\ with the Japs.

"I talked with Earl every dav and soon learned that he was a· good businessman and a diplomat. We worked together, very closely. because I was chief censor of the camp.

His health was excellent. His spirits and morale were exceedingly high.

He has a nepa shack where, with some friend s, they prepare their noonday lunch to supplement camP food. He had sufficient money to get supplies from the outside. ALL IN ALL HE WAS WELL AND WAS HAPPY IN HIS WORK. HE WILL GO DOWN IN SANTO TOMAS CAMP HISTORY AS ONE OF OUR OUTSTANDING CHARACTERS FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY. "Try to gt!t Earl's name on the next repatriation list through your senator. He may not accept repatriation, because he was so wrapped up in his camp duties. He feels that his place is there so long as he can help the internees."

BUZZ REEVES IN WAR TIME (Continued from Page 3) the driving energy that dominates the Reeves personality. To win the war, Buzz knew that tremendous exertion and untiring effort were required. And those two words-exertion and effort-are just two more that could aptly serve as his middle name! He at once began to look for the capacity in which he could best serve.

The Reeves Sound Laboratories, Inc., took space at 62 West 47th Street. The lease was signed October 1, 1942, equipment was procured and personnel was obtained.

Contracts were signed with the United States Army Signal Corps to produce quartz crystal oscillators for air-borne radio. The contracts called for 1600 to be shipped by December . . . Reeves shipped 2200.

January, 1943 was to have seen 3000 crystals shipped ... Reeves finished 4300. The Signal Corps wanted 4000 crystals in February . . . Reeves shipped 8 700!

Some pertinent facts about Buzz's war-baby: Up to the time of Pearl Harbor, only a handful of crystals was produced in this country annually, mostly for broadcasting stations and police radios . . : In the first month of production, the Reeves Sound Laboratories, Inc., produced only 16 crystals . . . A year late~ , they were turning out more crystals in one week than all the other manufacturers in the whole country made in 1939! From the beginning of the operations until now, production has been stepped up 60 times! Tolerances of the crystals produced are measured within one millionth of an inch, which is approximately a thousand times less than the thickness of a cigarette paper . . . hence, the name given to the women employees of the plant; "Millionth-ofan-Inch Girls." The plant itself is located, unconventionally enough, in the heart of the Times Square district. where employees reach their work by subway. bus and taxi, with the obvious advanta~es of time saved, and effort and energy conserved for the present job-at-band.

The plant was awarded the ArmyNavy "E" in November, 1943, and 20

six months later, received the White Star for continued production gains.

The building itself was converted into a war plant from what had been a furniture warehouse. From four floors of echoing empty space was created a seething, bustling and vigorous organization-precision equipment, proficient personnel and a tremendous amount of enthusiasm worked a modern production miracle!

The facts and figures so far show that our story of Buzz Reeves has a conventional happy ending: Buzz found his place in the war effort; the Signal Corps found their man in Buzz; and the planes that were grounded for lack of crystals in 1941 and 1942 are flying today!

But that's not the end of our story! Today, in Brooklyn, the building that formerly housed the Long Island University-a building with six floors and 120,000 square feet-is being made ready to hold another of Buzz's war-babies, Hudson American Corporation (of which he is the President), manufacturers of critical electronic equipment. Up

to the present time, Hudson American Corporation was divided into eight different operations at eight different addresses in the Times Square district in New York. With the consolidation of the organization into one integral part, Buzz expects even greater accomplishments--and knowing our man, it's a dead certainty that he'll get them l No, our story isn't told even yet.

At 215 East 91st Street, still in New York City, is still another buildin~足 This one bas four floors, was previously a garage-and was built, of all things, to house a brewery! It now holds a further collection of Reeves' interests: Record Container Corporation, Criterion Products (a printing company), and the Machine Shop Division of the Reeves Sound Laboratories. In addition to these, a "new operation" has been scheduled to make a home there in the near future.

We'll put the title at the end of our story instead of the beginning: "Buzz Reeves in War-Time" or "Pi Kap Makes Hitler and Tojo Say 'Uncle! ' "

Portland, Oregon Alumni Chapter The last meeting ot th e Portland Alumni Chapter wa s held on April 15. After the usual "bull session" National President Berry's letter of January 19, was discussed in detail.

Fourteen alumni were in attendance, twelve from Alpha Zeta; one from Alpha Delta, and one from Nu. This group, as at our last meeting, consisted of two charter members and the rest spanned the years of Alpha Zeta down through the year 1943. Discussion of the possibility of the War Advisory Council initiating new men into the fraternity was brought up as it was felt there were probably men now attending Oregon State who would make good prospective Pi Kapps.

Officer; for the ensuing yea r were elected as follows : William ;"damso n, president; Phil Brinkman, secretary; Rob crt Ha,rns, treasurer; and ] . AI Head, corresponding secretary, all alumni of Alpha Zeta.

The chapter also formally undertook the financing of SERVICE STARS, Alpha Zeta's Service Letter, feeling that it was the one thing which was holding all men in Alpha Zeta closer together and being a foundation upon which a reactivation of Alpha Zeta would be founded.

At t~e beginning of the fall quarter, Beta Chapter seems to be 111 better shape than at any time since its re-birth in August a year ago. The initiations of Jere Cook, Charlotte, N. C., Tommy Wilburn and John Jeffries, Union, S. C., just off-set our losses to the services. Treasurer Gene Smith (studen~ Councilman) and Warden Gene Copeland, both of AbbeVIlle, S. C., have withdrawn from P. C. to enter the Army and Navy respectively.

Secretary Gene Thomason (Student Counci lman and member of Blue Key) will be unable to complete the present quarter as he enters the Medical College of Charleston early in October. Dick Wilkins (President of the Pan-hellenic Council) does not plan to re-enter school next quarter as the bugle call becomes audible. 路 Next quarter, Archon George Wilkinso n will be the only brother in school who was here at the Chapter re-birth a year ago. He graduates in March, 1945, but the Chapter will be in well -trained hands at that time. Our only pledge, Dan Dunwody, Macon, Ga., is to be initiated soon.

Coach Lonnie McMillan, Beta, has begun to put hi s Blue Hose eleven in shape for the gridiron season. Games are sched uled with Clemson, University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, Auburn, Miami (Fla.), and Newberry. Chapters at. some of these schools may expect to see Presbyterian Pi Kapps present for some of these games. Hard-running Brother Tommy Wilburn will be a strong candidate for the backfield.

Alumni dropping in during the last few month s are Cpl. George Horan, Lt. Frank Heidt, Lt. J ames A. ("Droopy") Atwell, Lt. and Mrs. Paul Turner, T / Sgt. M : D. Shuler, Jr., Cpl. and Mrs. W. E. Dillon, A/ S Marion Frasier, and Pfc. Arthur Prochaska, MC, of tennis fame.

To our many Beta service men: though many of you we know by name only, we know you intimately in spirit. Rest assured that the Chapter is maintaining the sa me lofty ideals that were held in your undergraduate days. Some of you will return to Presbyterian College and Beta of Pi Kappa Phi. Your return will be warmly welcomed, and our only hope is that you will find things as you so patriotically left them.

Faces may be new, but hearts and so uls will not. Some will not return at all for, in defe nding their sacred rights by paying the supreme price, they have joined the Chapter Eternal.

They shall remain dear in our memories.

Epsilon chapter started off with a bang thi s summer! With the return of fiv<! brothers a very successful rush week wa! held which resulted in our pledging seven freshmen-Carver Wood and Newlin Schenck, Shelby, N. C.; Jim ("Snap''J Boyce, Albemarle, N. C.; Chris Weber, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Cam uttall, Charlotte, N. C.; Warren Higginbotham, Green ville, S. C.; and Worth Rock, Plainfield, N. ]'.

Officers elected for the summer term were: Phil Whittier, archon; Jim Elliott, secretary; Mel Winstead, treasurer and historian ; Carey Wells, chaplain; and Phil Medford, warden.

Due to the loss of Phil Whittier at the end of the first term of summer school, Mel Winstead has occupied his office as archon. However, Brother Whittier is planning to return to Davidson this fall. Officers for the pledge class this summer were: Carver Wood, president; Newlin Schenck, secretary; Cam Nuttall, treasurer; and Chris Weber, warden. All of the pledges, with the possible exception of Worth Rock , will be with us this fall.

On the night of July 1st, Pledge Cam Nuttall entertained the members of the fraternity at a delightful dinner followech by an informal dance at the Charlotte Country Club. Recently the members of the fraternity enjoyed a well planned stag party, which was held at the fraternity house.

Our loss of Carey Wells at the end of the first term to Delta chapter was only their gain. Brother Wells was an outstanding leader in the fraternity at Davidson, and his loss is keenly felt. Incidently, Brother Wells, along with Brother James Elliott, is planning to enter the Atlanta. Dental School in the fall.

It is in our opinion that good days along with 路 good times arc in store for Epsilon chapter. Plans for the fall ru sh week arc already underway.

Mu Chapter

Duke University

The summer months have become a milestone in the history of Mu Chapter, marking a year of triumph over difficulties not before experienced in our history. A year ago, July 1, th Navy came to Duke with its great training program, and we braced ourselves for new changes, and met them with surprisingly J.(Ood results. We had no doubt in the ability of our Archons, who proved their ability to get things done. Nelson Stephens, in the first semester, built us the strong foundations no which Bill Brinkley was to work for two and a half semesters. We inaugurated a newspaper, MU MUSES, to take the place of chapter-room news and gossip. Our pledge classes have been consistently large, and we remain one of the fra ternitics on this campus.

At the end of last semester, however, we lost almost every man with long-term experience. Still the quality of our new men was very high, and ru shing for this semester ha s broughl excellent results again.

In June we bade boodbye to: Everett Cobb; Keith Edwards; West Gilbert; Andy Know land ; Dick Mansur; Charlie Morgan; Frank Plant; Tom Seay; Don Wallis; ChuckMyers; Earl Yantis; Stan Butler; Dick Wells; Joe Hayworth; and Barney Wanskcr. But from th e men now elil:dble we have pledged: R. B. Blackman; Harold J . Ellis ; Thomas Green.; Bey Gates (Bill) Grunder; John W. Hodges; John F. Hoover; Frederick Kulow; James R . Presson ; Levi J ames ("Tccncy") Roberts; Robert Lewis Roelke; Eugene H . Roy; ] oseph Walter Thompson; Edward Kemp; a nd Stanley Sage;.

In a few short weeks, after mid-semester, precedent at Duke will be broken. Fraternities will be allowed to rush first semester men. We arc sure that those already pledged, and the men to be pledged soon will raise the chapter to pre- July strength .

23

1 Bill Brinkley was kidded quite a bit when elected to a /" third term" as archon in July, but this was not the ca use ;or Bill's resignation mid-semester. Seeing that too much dependence was being put on pne man, he wisely asked permission to resign his office so t hat a new man, who cou ld ,serve when he leaves at the end of the semester might be 1 initiated into the office, and gain the experience necessary :for this busy job on a busy campus. Too, Bill assum ed the position of president of the Y. M . C. A., the most active organi zation on this campus. Both jobs could not be done ~a dequately at the saine time. George Viehmeyer, a transfer .from the University of South Carolina, was elected Archon.

Besides George, we have another fine personality transferred into our midst, Harry Cox, whom we are proud to welcome from Davidson. . Brother Don Buckley is back in the swing again with a new show for the Duke stage. Don wrote the music for the hit campus musical, "Stand By," produced last December, and a lso had a principal part il\ it.

At the close of th e Spring Quarter,· Omicron was left with 'six actives and four pledges. Since' then, we have lost three actives and one pledge. But, at present, we have five actives and sixteen pledges, as two old members returned and we had a successful rush season. Next quarter, we expect to have "ft.bout ten to return, four actives and six pledges, and prospects are very bright, since most of the boys desire to move mto the house. , · Pledges initiated on August 12 , were: Jules L. Davis, Petrey, Ala:; Paul W. Starnes, Guntersville, Ala.; William F. Skinner, T.uscaloosa, Ala.; Herman E. Sewell, Jr. , Myrtle Grove, Fla.; Claude C. Persons, Fitzgerald, Ga., and John A.

Our most recent pledges are: J ames Ash, James Owens, William Boozer, Luther Owens, Thomas Cun ningham , Ben and Paul Davis, Paul Hughes, William Taylor, and Sam Brent.

Brother Jerry Hastings, from Pi Chapter, is now stationed at the University for duties with the ROTC Unit here .

Very little social activity has been going on this quarter.

However, we had a house dance in honor of our new pledge's on Friday, August 4. We expect to have our annual forma l dance, also, th is fall.

Since his initiation Governor Johnston has been nominated for the United States Senate, defeating "Cotton Ed" Smith who bad served in the Senate for six terms and was the dea n of that body.

The initiation team was composed enti rely of members of the loca l Chapter. They did a splendid job. Their preparation for it was amply evidenced by the smo othness, perfect coord ination, and thoroughness of their work. The large hall furni shed a splendid setting for tl1e ceremonies. Only mem bers of the Chapter were present.

Immediately fo llowing the initiation, the Chapter recognized . the importance of their new member by tendering to him an informal reception, also at the Woman's Club . Light refreshments were served. Amo ng those attending were members of the Governor's staff, leaders of the Naval Training Program THE

The officers of Omega are: William Conant, archon; Richard Sunier, secretary-treasurer; William Daniel, chaplain-historian; and William Ploeger, warden.

On June 11, 1944, we initiated the following pledges: William Ploeger, Evansville, Ind.; Richard Sunier, Fort Waype, Ind.; Robert Schwartz, West Lafayette, Ind.; and Ralph Myerholtz, North Canton, Ohio. Other civilians on campus are George Jordan and Pledge Paul Franklin. In addition, three V-12ers, John Lindley, Richard Rydin, and Louis Knight are still stationed at Purdue, We are now living a.t the Sigma Phi Epsilon House, together with the Sig Eps and Lambda Chi's. The Navy plans to return all fraternity houses to their owners at the end of this semester. Our house is among these and we plan to move into it sometime after the first of November. Thirty-two of the 34 fraternities on campus are now active and pledging.

The male population of Purdue now totals over one thousand.

Prospects for pledging are good and we expect to pledge severa l in the near future.

Four brothers will return next semester: Ex-archon AI Craven, Loren Biggs and Roland Sutton, after a semester's layoff; and Jerry Holman, who has gotten a medical discharge from the Army.

All brothers are prominent in campus activities. William Cona nt is president of the Interfraternity Presidents' Council; William Daniel is active at the Fraternity Affairs Office; William Ploeger, Richard Sunier, and Paul Franklin are on the engineering staff of the Purdue radio station, WBAA. 路Three of our esteemed seniors, Ex-archon Carroll Martindell, Frank Wise, and Frank Funke graduated in June. Brother Funke has since received an ensign's commission in the Navy. Richard Shaw and Ralph Myerholtz did not . return to campus because of imminent Army inductions. Tom Alleman and John "Senator" Makepiece left the Purdue V -12 for midshipman's school. Phil Sigler and Les Milholin, who left for Fort Sill with the Advanced ROTC, are now sporting go ld bars.

We would like to use this column in the STAR AND LAMP as a medium of contact with our Omega alumni in and out of the service. Quite a number of the March issues of the OMEGALITE were returned, as the addressees had moved without informing us of their changes. If you did not receive your copy, that was the reason.

He has served on the coaching and physical fitness program at the University since 1942.

We are making plans for several rush parties路 soon after sc~ool opens. The enrollment should increase considerably with the return of war veterans and active sports, and we are expecting to pledge a number of good boys. Many of our older brothers have dropped in from time to time and are glad to see we have been able to keep open despite the war and the low enrollment of the University. They talk of returning to the house after the war for a reunion of all the new and old members. We, the present members, are not going to let them down.

STRIPLING COMMISSIONED IN USNR Robert 0. Stripling, past president of Alpha Epsi lon Chapter and president of the Alpha Epsilon Advisory War Council, has been commissioned an Ensign in the United States Nava l Reserve. He reported to Holly~ood, Fla., the latter part of August for active duty.

As president of Alpha Epsilon's Advisory War Council he has been most generous of his time and energy. Without his cheerful and optimistic spirit and his assistance in pledging and initiating, it is doubtful whether the chapter would have continued on an active status during the war period.

Bob was born in Montgomery, Ala., and lived there until 1935 when he moved to Tallahassee, Fla. After graduating from Leon High, Tallahassee, he attended the University of Alabama and became a member of Omicron chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. In 1937, Bob transferred from Alabama to the University of Florida, and immediately became affiliated with Alpha Epsilon. In his senior year he became president of the chapter. He received his B. A. E. and M. A. E. degrees from F lorida, and has made some progress toward his Ph. D. degree at the University of Chicago. On June 7, 1940, he married Dorothy Claire Atkinson of Tallahassee, and now has a son, Bobby, two years old.

Besides his membership in Pi Kappa Phi, Bob is a member of Kappa Delta Pi Education Society, Phi Kappa Phi Scholarship Fraternity, Florida Educational Association, American Education Association, Gainesville Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the First Methodist Church of Gainesville.

Alpha Epsilon chapter wishes him all the luck in the world and hopes he will soon be among us again.

Alpha Zeta

Oregon State

Out of the West from the State of Oregon and more specifically, Oregon State College, the Alpha Zeta Chapter has become (pro-tem) a sorority. During the 1943-1944 school year, Alpha Zeta was not an active chapter, there being one man on the campus the entire year, who was augmented for a time by five Alpha Zetans in ASTP and one Alph a Epsilon man in ASTP. Under such circumstances it was not feasible to function as an active chapter.

At the outset of the past school year ASTP had a rather extensive program at O.S.C. which created an acute housing problem. The Army took over the women's dormitories and several of the fraternities as well as the men's dormitory.

Consequently, the College was confronted with the problem of housing over a thousand women who had formerly occu-

armed forces comprise 62 officers and 36 enlisted men. They arc segregated according to rank as follows: Enlisted personnel, 36; Aviation Cadets, 3; Lieutenants, 19; Captains, 14; Majors, 5; Lt.-Colonels, 2; Ensigns, 8; Lieutenants, 2; Lt. Commander, 1; Chaplain, 1; V-12 Program, 6.

This to us of Alpha Zeta is an imposing record to have so many of our men serving their country and over 60% of them as officers. Of this number, one officer i:; a prisoner of war and one en listed man has been reported missing. To further comp lement the men in the armed forces, over 50% of the 126 civilians are engaged actively in wa r industries. The remaining men are engaged in professions or industries allied to the war effort indirectly such as teaching, farming, transportation, small business, etc. Only about 5 per cent of Alpha Zeta's members are not engaged in this all-out effort.

Alpha Zeta is looking forward to the postwar era with much hope and enthusiasm. A recent poll of undergraduates now serving in the a rmed forces indicated that a nucleus would return to Oregon State to comp lete their formal education. The Portland Alumni Chapter recen tly adopted certain policies looking to the future of Pi Kappa Phi, and Alpha Zeta in particular, which will materially aid the reorganization of Alpha Zeta into an active Chapter once more.

The War Advisory Council of Alpha Zeta has been functioning active ly and has met many problems which wi ll preserve the Chapter Hou se for our future Pi Kapps.

All in all, we in the West are and have b~en actively enl!aged in holding our Chapter together and endeavoring to promote the future of Pi Kappa Phi as a whole. It is times Fke the present emergency that take us back to our pledge lesso ns and our formal initiation w here we would do well to once again re-learn our lessons and to review the principles a nd concepts of fraternalism as set forth by our three founders and further embodied in our rituals.

Feminine students because of wartime overcrowding have taken over Alpha Zeta's House and in the picture below is shown the group that graced the confines of the house last year.

Through the efforts of the College authorities working in cooperation with the faculty advisors for the fraternities, a plan was evolved whereby all fraternities on the campus would be "pooled.'' By so doing some houses would quarter ASTP students, others women.

Alpha Zeta of Pi Kappa Phi was taken over by women a nd became an annex of Waldo Hall (Girls ' Dormitory) both literally and figuratively speaking.

During many a bull session in the west dorm at Alpha Zeta in the not too distant past, many a plan has been conceived to confuse a chaperon at a dance and show the frat house to the gir l friend . It seems as though such plans always came to a futile end. Not so now, the "reverse English" bas been app li ed and it takes an "act of Congress" for a man to get beyond the dining room table .

To pass the 21st Street house now is to see silk ( ?) stockings and lingerie in the second and third floor windows drying.

Sun bathing on the side porch-well, you know how that a lways was sp ring term-only now the boys arc looking up not down or across the street. I wonder if the girls ever found the field glasses that used to be on the third floor.

Alpha Zetans are now more actively engaged in the processes of war and its appendant industries. A recent survey made for "Service Stars," Alpha Zeta's quarterly publication for the men in the armed forces, showed a total of 250 men on the mailing list. Of these 250 men, 98 are in the armed forces, 126 are civilians, 7 unaccounted for, and 15 are affi liated with other chapters, pledges, etc. The 98 men in the

In March of 1943, we were hit proportionately harder, as far as losing members is concerned, than any other fraternity on this camp us. Through hard work and the sincere efforts of the few remaining brothers we were able to carry on instead of goi ng on an inactive status, as it seemed for a while we would have to do. Again in June, '43 , Alpha Iota was dealt another blow. Due to grad uation, draft boards, and appointments to Officers Ca ndida te Schools, Pi Kappa Phi's almost became extinct on this campus.

Our house is still in fine condition after having been rented to the college for nine months. From June until September the house has been locked and looked after, but, around the middle of September it will be reoccupied by girls for anoth er school year.

Alpha Mu

Alpha Tau

Rensselaer

Alpha Tau has been no exception to the general rule that fraternities suffer reverses in wartime. The major setback has been the loss of brothers to the armed services. The loss of the house, a year ago, when it was occupied by students of the Naval F1ight Preparatory School, has contributed toward the state of disorganization under which the chapter has been laboring.

In the past few months, an attempt has been made to put the chapter on a firmer and better organized basis. The house was returned to us on July 1 as expected, and since then the brothers have been actively engaged in putting it back in good condition. Several successful house dances have been held, and the chapter is once again socially active.

On September 2, William E. Sauer, Deall Daymon, Harry M. Apkarian, and Ben Cahill, who was formerly pledged to Sigma Chapter, were initiated into Alpha Tau. With graduation, on August 20, we lost our sole remaining senior, Charles H. Stanton, who took a position with Bakelite Corporation. .

The following are brothers who have recently receiVed promotions in the armed forces: Gilbert P. Roberts, Robert W. Curran, Frederick R. Bohl, and Harold E. Grathwohl have been commissioned second lieutenants in the Army Air Corps; F. Jerome Cooke is a second lieutenant in the Marines; and William A. Roberts, James E. Renson, Milton C. Beveridge, Richard D. Ahlquist, Robert L. Buchanan, George D. Cook, Richard B. Donahue, Richard J. Renson, and Raymond W. Zimmerman have been commissioned ensigns in the Navy.

-MYLES H. FAIRWEATHER, Historia11.

Alpha Mu is now in the process of staging a slow, but sure comeback as an active chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The war hit us hard, leaving only one member at the beginning of this semester in June but, with the help of our advisers and alumni, we have been able to open the chapter house and keep the fraternal light burning.

At the beginning of the summer session the only remaining member was Chu~k Alcorn. Kenney Thompson and Joe Riden had graduated and gone into the Army and Navy respectively. Joe now has his commission as an Ensign. We lined up two prospective pledges just before the end of the Spring semester, which was the first major step we took toward becoming active again.

Getting our house back made it possible to rush according to the formal rushing code set up hy the Interfraternity Council and we have since pledged eight men.
