PRESENTING yo u r Pi Kapp Deans!

Here are some of our alumni in the educational field who have risen to important positions on their respective campuses. A few of them have been presented before in this magazine, but we are printing these again because Pi Kappa Phi is proud of her sons who have attained such enviable positions.

Dr. Eric Hausmann, Alpha Xi, is one of the most distinguished educators in the engineering field today.

He has been head of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute Department of Physics as well as dean of the college for several years.

Recently he was honored by the presentation of a scroll by the Polytechnic Alumni Association at its eighty-fifth dinner at the Granada Hotel for his forty years of service 2

as one of the nation 's leading engineering educators. , A graduate of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute class of 1908, Dr. Hausmann was a member of Xi Sigma local fraternity which later became Alpha Xi of Pi Kappa Phi. His present address is 1405 Dorchester Road , Brooklyn, N. Y. Here is a fitting tribute to Dean Hausmann as delivered by one of his Brooklyn Poly associates and good friend, " Institutions have the character of the men who guide their destiny. I find reassurance in the solid, sound and progressive spirit of the Polytechnic and our honored alumnus and teacher. His quiet dignity, integrity and stability are a happy denial of the ephemeral huckster spirit, of recent date, which even academic institutions of highest level , but not wholly escaped."

Jefferson Barnes Fordham, an out路 standing legal scholar and educator, became the sixth dean of Ohio State University's College of Law on JulY 1, 194 7. Called from his post as professor of law at Vanderbilt Uni路 versity by the Ohio State UniversitY Board of Trustees, the new dean succeeded the late Dean Arthur 'f.

Martin, who died in 1946.

Dean Fordham was born in 1905 in Greensboro, North Carolina, and was graduated from high school there. He received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of North Carolina, taking his master's and juris doctor's degrees from that school in 1929, and winning the J. D. degree with honors.

the evenings of November the 19th and 20th the curtain rose on the Fourteenth Annual Pi Kapp Show presented by Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia, Pa. This was ~he fourtee1.1th show of a series that ~gan in 1931. A very authoritative history of the shows was given in the a.ttractive program. Here is a porlJon of it: "Yes, we've come a long way since 1931 when the first show was pre~nted by Pi Kappa Phi at Drexel. ou know, it's a funny thing about these shows of ours. They keep changing and improving, but the P~rpose an<;l spirit behind them is Sb]] the same. It took Bob Ober~oltzer two years to convince the rothers to put on a minstrel show as a means of promoting fellowship ~nd much needed funds. But. after l~at first production was a success ey were started on that long road ~n. which the fourteenth milestone is t ~Jng placed tonight. It's been a long tip and quite bumpy at spots, but e we made it.

1'hey say that first show, "The 13 l~ck-Face Minstrels of 1932" was quite an affair. What with burnt ~hrk, wigs, and snappy patter from e end men , how could it help but ~0 路 Guess the success of that venbure got under the brothers' skin , ecause the Pi Kap Minstrels becarne an annual affair.

w In 1936 the power of the female lhas evidenced by their appearance in a e minstrels. The girls were such u success that their option was picked c P and they were given a perpetual Yontract f'()r Pi Kap Shows. Now ,.,ou can begin to see those changes rn: Were talking about. In 1939 the ca;nstrel ideas gave way to the musiS .comedy theme. In "Get Into The 1 ng," the entertainment value of e shows took a big step forward.

MISS PRISCILLA 'JO' SINER In our fraternity ' life one of the pleasant traditions is the selection of a sweetheart.

Unanimously chosen, it is with justifiable pride that we present to you the 1948 Sweetheart of Pi Kappa Phi-Miss Priscilla 'Jo' Siner.

'Jo', as she is affectionately known, came to us from Chestnut Hill and received her schooling at both Germantown High and Virginia Intermont. Assuming an active role in school affairs, she made cheerleading, softball, and archery a part of her curriculum. For periods of relaxation, 'Jo' turns to riding and dancing.

'Jo's' blue eyes and fair complexion, coupled with her effervescent personality and charm, have endeared her to all of us. Thus, to the "Sweetheart of Pi Kappa Phi" we extend our good wishes for success and happiness in the years ahead.

SOME OF THE MEN BEHIND THE SCENES. Left to right standing: Keiter, Hauf, Bintzer.

Seated : Radzwilka, Hill, Day, Capp, Norton.

Pictured above are some af the men from the staff of "Greene Cauntrie Towne". Ted Day was Co-Chairman along with Bob Dorwart also played William Penn. Ted proved himself in the lead and his unceasing enthusiasm carried throughout the entire cast. Howard was our Production 路 Manager which is another word for "trouble shooter." Howard could be seen running around with his clip board coni ing people, straightening out costumes, and doing the million and one things that pop up during a production. Ed Radzwilka had his fin in the monetary end of the show as Financial Manager. Mickey Capp did the orchestration of our music as well as writing three of the tU and acting in the show. Harold "Jit" Norton and his assistant lrv Keiter were responsible for the beautiful program that was presented year. Not only as program manager did "Jit" serve, he also played one of William Penn's Cronies. Charley Bintzer was the mechanical wil who held forth as Stage Manager. Leo Hauf was in charge of our extensive and highly successful publicity campaign.

If we had the time or space we could go through the chapter roll and list the contributions of each and every man. There was not available man who did not give his all for the show. As many of the brothers have said, "The show proves that cooperation is everythin9 success. 11

"Tech Trouble." Poor Herby, fresh from Crystal River, Florida, found the life of a freshman quite an ordeal, but managed to survive.

Willoughby Throckbottom learned that winning the Irish Sweepstakes in 1941 was not pure bliss since there were men who urged him to say "You Take The Million." However, . justice triumphed (what else) and, as usual, our hero was saved.

"Arabian Nightmare" was our 1942 venture. Arabian describes the locale, while nightmare describes the first attempt at a production on a spectacular scale. Our Arabian bar6

em was a sight to behold and proved a huge success.

It was after our 1942 show that we came to a detour on the long road of shows. Shall we just call it a long intermission? Like all things, it came to an end, and in 194 7 we continued the trip with the twelfth annual show, "Graduation or Bust." Our hero, Reginald Van Cleavage, fought his way out of 10 years at Drexel, not to mention quite a few crooks.

The thirteenth venture was an attempt to portray life at Drexel were it in the Ivy League. E. Brewster H. Scattergood restored our faith in the

human race and triumphed! ~ were worried for awhile though."

This year's show was entitl "Greene Countrie Towne" and fro all reports it surpassed all previo ventures. For a brief explanation '1 again go to the program: "Once upon a time Philadelpb: was a 'beautiful woodland, cradled the fork of two silvery streams,' a in 1682 it is very conceivable tb this was a fitting description for o fair city.

A lovable story about lovable people which we think will leave every reader with a warm glow, a touch of sunburn and a hankering to start counting his friends.

A Story by JOSEPH KELLEAM, ALPHA GAMMA Reprinted from October, 1948, ESQUIRE Copyright, 1948, by Esquire, Inc.

PABLO MENDOZA and his grandmother were Papago Indians who lived in a tiny viJiage in Southern Arizona. Pablo was a brown-faced, plump young man of twenty. He had straight black hair and a wide smile. He also owned an old white horse named Blanco.

Pablo and his grandmother lived in a tiny house made of brown adobe bricks. The roof was flat and covered with dirt to keep it cool. All the houses in the village looked alike.

But you could tell Pablo's house because near the doorway stood the largest paloverde tree in the whole desert. It had bright green bark and tiny leaves no larger than your fingernails, and in the spring it was covered with yellow blossoms.

Pablo liked to sit in the shade of the paloverde tree and play La Paloma on his guitar. But one gets tired of playing the guitar, and he would often lean back against the tree, pull his big floppy-brimmed hat over his face, and go to sleep. His grandmother had a little garden near the bed of a wash. A wash is where a river would be if it rained long enough. Here the ground was not so dry as the rest of the desert, and so she raised beans and pumpkins and squash. .

Old Blanco did nothing at all. He just stood near the house, switching his tail at the flies, and nibbling grass.

The little village was very quiet.

But one day something happened.

Across the desert came a cloud of dust. Underneath the dust was a car, and in the car was a big man smoking a big cigar. The old Head Man of the Village came out of his house when the car came to a stop 8

ten-dollar bills and climbed back into his car. When he had gone, all the people of the town told Pablo he was rich and that they were glad.

The next day Pablo went to the store of Carlos Kisto. Kisto was old and wrinkled and his dark eyes were like little black stones. He was the only Papago besides Pablo who was rich. He had owned his little trad路 ing post for years. He smiled al Pablo, but his eyes did not smile. " I hear you have money, " he said.

"Yes," said Pablo. "I have moneY I want a red silk shirt and a purple silk handkerchief for a necktie, and a big black hat with a floppy brinl and a white band. Also a new shawl for my grandmother, a new strin& for my guitar, some candy and soda pop, a sack of flour , and a bushel of oats for Blanco."

After Pablo paid for these things. he still had thirty dollars. It was 1 nice to sit in the shade and drin~ in~e soda pop and eat candy and play Lo Polma on his guitar, which sounded ever so much better with the ne\\ string. Pablo's round, dark face was JOSEPH E.

BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO'S GOT THE BUTTON ... ?

Seattle's Pi Kopp Wi楼es' Club is collecting buttons-odd, historic, amusing and even ordinary varieties-to be sold to aid spastic children. Already they've raised considerable money through such methods and o Iorge display and public sale will be held during 1949.

Any member's wife who has odd buttons-or even o collection of fairly common ones-will be doing some needy child a good turn if she sends those buttons to Mrs. Betty Poot, 7338 34th St., S. W., Seattle.

FAR as Pi Kappa Phi-dom in Seattle is concerned, the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest isn't famed primarily for its proximity to Alaska or the Orient, nor for the SO-pound salmcm slapping its tail in the shadow of skyscrapers, nor for the snow-tipped peaks which loom to the east and. west, nor for its crystal-clear drinking water, nor for its (usually) snow-less winter days, nor its ... well, all its other rarities.

No, gentlemen, the No. 1 unusual item on the Pi Kapp list in Seattle

is the Seattle Pi Kappa Phi Wives' Club.

This frank, sweeping statement is made with all due deference to those scholarly, athletic and handsome group of collegians at the University of Washington whom we're proud tc have as Alpha Delta Chapter.

It's made, too, with somewhat les~ deference to those slightly grizzled. alarmingly - thick - waisted, learned amiable and generally respected mem路 bers who haggle with one anothe1 each year as to who has, and whc (Continued on page 13)

Pi Kappa Phi is well represented in Florida education circles these days with three of the state's top men in education wearing Pi Kapp pins.

Leading the list is Tom D. Bailey, Zeta chapter, Wofford College, 1919.

With an impressive record in education Bailey has been teacher, principal, supervising principal, director of public relations for the Florida Education Association and was recently elected Florida's State Superintendent of Public Instruction. He took office January 4.

One of his chief lieutenants and a leading educator in his own right is James L. Graham, Director of the State Department of Education's Division of Administration and Finance. Graham is an alumnus of Eta chapter, Emory University, 1919.

P. R

And the state's top men in education, outside of the State Department of Education's E. B. Henderson, who took office in January as executive secretary of the Florida Education Association, are alumni from Chi chapter, Stetson University, 1927.

There was an odd shuffling of positions between Pi Kappa Bailey and Henderson, too.

Bailey, in charge of public relations for the FEA, was being groomed for the position of FEA executive ii~cretary when he won the Democratic nomination for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the subsequent election. Henderson, with the State Department of Education as a supervisor of instruction, was then appointed to fill the post left open by Bailey.

So Pi Kapp Henderson now has Bailey's former position, and Pi Kapp Bailey heads Henderson's former department.

(Continued from page 9) hasn 't paid his dues in the Seattle Alumni Chapter. , articipation in the varied, year.round activities of the Wives' Club Is doubtless one of the prime reasons the Pi Kapp ladies of Seattle stay so young looking. Or so their husbands believe.

Weeks slip into months, and the g~iding months have an odd and dtsturbing way of becoming years~nd those years telescope alarmingly Into decades. But when Seattle Pi I<apps and their wives meet at frequent so'cial affairs those years seem to drop away.

ried their wives hav'e been welcomed immediately into the Wives' Club fold. As new Pi Kapp babies have arrived those wriggling arrivals have been hailed.

Here are some of the activities which are to be noted on the Wives· Club "calendar". Monthly meetings at various members' homes, except during summet months when picnics have been held.

A gala Christmas dinner to which husbands are invited (attendance at which taxed the capacity of Willard Vadman's big home) and which has become a local fraternity tradition.

A mid-summer family picnic, held for several years at Mel and Barbara Klinefelter's Lake Forest Park home or at Ellen and Ev Hann's home at Lake Barringer. Another summer picnic for mamas and the smaller offspring each year.

In pre-war years the club sponsored an annual May breakfast at which Alpha Delta actives were honor guests. For several years, too, the wives held an Easter party for members' children- but the crop of future Pi Kapps and their sisters j!rew so amazingly that this was discontinued.

Between 15 and 20 wives usually attend the monthly meeting, where a brief program is presented. Perhaps a talented musician, a friend of one of the members, will be presented. Or maybe a speaker on some topic of current local interest, or with a useful message to mothers of growing children. Or perhaps one of the members, who has an interesting hobby herself, will speak.

No dues are charged, but each member "chips in" 25c at each meeting attended. Each member takes her turn at being hostess at a monthly meeting, and is assisted by another member. The year's schedule of meetings and hostesses is made out in advance.

Each member is provided, in advance, with a multigraphed calendar of the meeting dates and places.

Combined with this useful calendar is the current roster of members, with addresses and telephone numbers.

Since Alpha Delta Chapter has been reactivated, after its wartime suspension. the annual Christmas Dinner is held at the Chapter House.

Throughout the years the Wives· Club has raised substantial sums to as~ist in purchasing furniture and other essentials for the active chapter, and members have given many hours to the selection of such items and in making draperies and other items.

Last year, for example, more than $100 worth of kitchen equipment was provided for the ·chapter house by the Wives' Club. When Alpha Delta alumni raised some $1,500 to help the chapter reestablish itself, the wives did the necessary purchasing, spending countless hours in finding good bargains in durable furniture which would stand hard usage.

A prime method of fund raising in past years has been sponsoring Pi Kappa Phi Nights at one or · the other of the two theatres on the University of Washington campus where actors in the Department of Drama play nightly to packed houses.

An important current project of the club, and one which has attracted some considerable general loca] interest, is the gathering of unusual buttons which will be sold to advance corrective work for spastic children of Seattle.

Mrs. Betty Poot, whose hobby has b e e n button-collecting, suggested this program and the activity has been found most enjoyable. Sometime in 1949 a display, and sale of the buttons will be featured at a Seattle department store.

The Wives' Club would appreciate deeply any donations of unusual, interesting or historical buttons. Any Pi Kapp wife who has such button would earn a loud "hurrah" if she'd send them to Mrs. Poot, 7338 34th Street S. W., Seattle. They'll be put to a mighty useful purpose.

Buttons, for reasons which bachelor members of the fraternity (sad, neglected fellows!) may not understand, reminds us of children and of one Wives' Club activity which should have been mentioned earlier.

The first baby to arrive in any Seattle Pi Kapp family receives a handsome gift . . . on successive arrivals, the mama gets flowers.

After all, the club treasury isn't limitless and Pi Kappa Phi families in this healthy part of these some13

Frances Snider is currently president of the club, and Betty McElroy, vice president. Connie Hotelling is secretary-treasurer. Chairmen are named annually for these committees: social, telephone, visiting and showers, year book, active chapter, hospitality, penthouse (theatre party) and button sale.

Carlos' was standing near by with his hands full of papers and a scowl on his lean. dark face . "I want my monev,'' he said. "You should not be sleeping while others work." " But I am rich ," Pablo explained.

And he opened his hand and showed Carlos the paper bills. " I have let your neighbors have all they wanted from my store," Car14

lo said frowning. "Here are the tickets . You have been very foolish to buy so much for them."

"Ah , but I have made them happy,'' Pablo replied with a smile.

"And I am happy too. " Then Carlos began to read the lists and add up figures. "Forty dollars," he announced at last.

Pablo's heart sank. "There is a mistake, Carlos. I have only thirty dollars."

"What! You do not have the mon ey?" Carlos' frown was darker than ever. "You cannot pay? I will have you put in jail."

"No, Carlos, I will pay. Here, take th e thirty dollars and Blanco." " Bah . That bony old horse is not worth a peso."

"Then take my guitar."

Carlos snarled. "I do not like music. No, you must pay."

Pablo had a pleasant thought.

"Carlos, I will work in the store for you."

"A nd drink all the pop? " stormed Carlos. "No. But listen! " Then he told Pablo that he was in love with a beautiful young girl. "Her father is wealthy," Carlos explained. " He has seven cows and a bull. She says I am old and will not marry me."

"Too bad ," said Pablo. "But I do not see-" "You can tell her of my many good qualities. And if you can get the girl to marry me, I will not send for the policeman."

Pablo shrugged his shoulders.

"Very well. Who is she?"

"Carmenita, the daughter of George Percharo who lives at Posta Redondo. And you must give me her answer by sundown tomorrow. " "Very well," said Pablo, " I will try."

The next morning at daybreak Pablo told his grandmother good-by.· He threw an old blanket over Blanco's bony back and the two of them set out on the long, hot trip. The sun came up and beamed at them. It rlimbed higher and scorched them.

Blanco began to stumble.

They climbed many rocky hills.

They passed the sandy beds of washes and went on and on . By noon time Blanco was so tired that Pablo dismounted. The two were walking l along the dusty hot trail together

j

when they came within sight of the 111( brown adobe houses of Posta Redan· ge· do.

A man was reclining in front of one of these houses with his hal r:i pulled down over his face.

"I am looking for Caramenita. sh whose father is George Percharo," Pablo told him .

The man pointed to a girl whO wl was watching from a doorway. th Pablo and Blanco walked up to ch her. Poor Pablo's heart was beating Wt like a hammer. She was the most in beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her skin was the light tan of a dried sp paloverde leaf. Her hair was black tr, and shining. Her eyes were large us and black and her eyelashes were W( long and curly. ta "Are you Carmenita?" Pablo ask· ~.

She nodded.

"I am Pablo Mendoza and I have a message from Carlos Kisto."

She laughed easily. "I know your message. He wants to marry me. 1 have told him no. " Then Pablo told her how he owed Kisto ten dollars and would go to jail if he did not persuade her to marry the old man . " That is too bad ," she said, "but I will not marry him. I have three reasons why I will not." " And what are they? " asked Pablo. " I will not tell you, Pablo Men· doza. But since you are in trouble, I will go with yon and ask CarloS not to call the policeman."

It wa'S nearly sundown when theY came to Pablo's home. Carlos wa~ leaning against the paloverde treewaiting. "Well? " he asked .

"I tried,'' Pablo pleaded, "but she says she will not marry you for three reasons."

"And what are they? " CarloS stamped his foot. "You have failed and I will call the policeman."

Pablo shrugged his plump shoul· ders. The sun was setting and the Arizona sky was streaming witb scarlet and purple. People were peeping from houses. Some were coming this way.

"My first reason ,'' said Carmenita: " is that I will marry a young man.' " Bah ,'' said Carlos Kisto. "Here is a young man and he is going to jail."

Since last writing, football has been the central theme in the life of Gamma . That California had been elected to play in the Rose Bowl provided great excitement here.

Most of the brothers arose at four a. m. the day of the first sale of Rose Bowl tickets to join the queue buying fifty-yard line rooter's tickets. Plans are for great get-togethers in Los Angeles during Christmas. Come New Year, most Gammans will be Rose Bowl bound.

During the season open house was held after every game and we welcomed a great many of our alumni. Among those in regular attendance were: Jim Hamilton, "Snuffy" Knapp, Roy Heffner, and Bob Tuck.

We took a big part in Homecoming activities. The annual living-group race from San Francisco to Berkeley was won by two of our pledges, Joe Trotter and Ed Suth erland. They were presented a gold cup for the house and a bottle of champagne each . The prized cup is considered a triumph . Roger Welty and an art committee composed of Jack Davis, Dick Fiscus, and Arnie Turner, put in a great deal of work on Homecoming decorations. Our decorations won the second-place trophy. California's defeat over Stanford put the fin ishing touches to a triumphant week end and the Stanford Axe remains in possession of California.

Our most successful dance this year was the "Jungle Town Trot." The house was decorated inside and out to look as bad as possible. The effect was well achieved.

A variety of costumes from those of the "twenties" to a pair of Javanese dancers was seen. Most unusual costumes were worn by Sci Littleworth and his date, Betty Hall, who represented pennies; and George and Lorry Lineer who portrayed the Drunk and the Lampost. Another event of the evening was when "The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi" was sung by the brothers to our candidate-for-Homecoming queen, Marilyn Pach. The dance compared favorably with our "Heat Wave" dance of last year.

The pledges Jed . by Ed Sutherland, Kearney Hurst, and Joe Trotter, gave us another dance. The games they arranged were well handled and their dance execution deserves the highest praise.

Final exam schedules have been posted; members and pledges arc busy trying to

The social season of the year was begun on November 5th and 6th weekend, when the Pan Hellenic Council held its Home· coming Dance. Prior to the Friday night dance brothers and their dates attended the Gladys Swarthout Concert, and prior to the Saturday dance a banquet was held in the dining room of the Woman's Club in Charlotte. Guest speaker for the oc· casion was Bernie Jones, Executive Secre· tary, who spoke briefly on the importanct of scholarship, fellowship, and service.

On the night of December 4, the Rosr Room of Hotel Charlotte was the scene of Epsilon's Fall Formal. After the dance an informal breakfast was held at the ShiP Ahoy Restaurant. Masters of wit, Charlet Reid and Ed Hardin, entertained with s few short skits.

A few days before Christmas brother> and pledges played host to a group of small children from the Barium Sprin~ Orphanage. Allen Mead directed the games and refreshments were served. A visit was paid by Santa. Claus and each visitor wa! presented a gift and a stocking full of Christmas goodies.

Top honors go to past archon, Ernest Hunter, who during the semester was elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, phi Beta Kappa, and Who's Who in Amer· ican Colleges and Universities.

The brothers and "Dear Old Duke" have been quite active with social functions this fall, the most important of which was the Candlelight Ball on December 4.

Followin!J the usual chapter tradition, "The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi" was elected before the dance and was presented during intermission . Archon Bill Whalen made the presentation of the lovely lady, who, for the second successive year, is Jan Jansen.

Jan is a beautiful brunette senior and has the distinction of being both the daughter and fiancee of Pi Kapps. Her father is an alumnus of Omicron chapter, and she wears the pin of Brother Don Wallis of Mu, who grad uated last August. Decorations for the ball were done in the fratern ity co]ors and utilized only candle light. It was quite a success. Brother John Archie, of the Duke faculty, and his wife were the chaperones.

Kappa's new house at 317 W. Rosemary St., Chapel Hill, N. C., decked up for the Homecoming game with N. C. State.

Kappa group: 1st row : Eddie Baker, Leland Close; 2nd row: Bucky Horton, Gib Furgurson, Leslie Jenkins: 3rd row : Bob Hickman, Clell Bryant, Joe Melvin ; 4th row: Jimmy Thompson, Bill Johnson, Davis Worsham, Frank McNeil; 5th row : Jim Seay, Walter Moore, Bailey Hobgood.

Returning a courtesy extended us lasl year, we entertained Alpha Gamma Delta with a supper at the house, followed by skits. Bailey Hobgood did a monologue and Eddie Baker and Mark Barker a blackface act.

We thoroughly enjoyed having the Alpha Gams and hope to entertain other sororities before too long.

In our first complete intramural program, we were very proud of the showing of our football team. Coming through

John R . "Buddy" White, Danville, Va., was init iated into Mu on November 22.

Our able rush chairman for the year is Ed Gatling. Official rus.liing does not begin until the second semester. In the meantime, we h ave been having a few open hou ses for freshmen and have been getting acquainted with as many as possible under the Inter-Fraternity Council rules. The council h as recently voted to eliminate the policy of associating men with fraternities where th eir average is not sufficient to allow· them to pledge because of uni versity rules.

On November 7 the chapter held a cabin party at Crabtree State Park near Durham.

Social Chairman, George Underwood, rounded up some entertainment featuring Harry Crigger in a tap dance, Bill Bell on the guitar, and Tom Driver with a humorous take-o ff on his room mate Bill Massey. Massey, Driver, and Bell came through with some fine impromptu entertainment at an informal gate party the brothers held the week before in the Duke Forest.

Open houses after the football games fhis fall have been much fun. These affairs are some of the few that brothers can bring their dates to the fraternity section. Refreshments, lots of talk, and group singing have been the order of the day. Following the Duke-U. N. C. game, which was played in Chapel Hill, brothers of Kappa held an open house and served a buffet supper for brothers of Mu. It was a fine event from every standpoint.

After supper most of the brothers and their dates celebrated a long evening at Terrace View in Chapel Hill.

On December 15 Mu held a Christmas party. The function doubled as a "so long" party for Brother Ted Villanueva, whose wedding will be December 22. Brotheri Gilbert and . Cammack were hosts at the party, which was held in their quarters.

Sports Manager, Charlie Earley, has guided the fraternity football team to second place position in its division in the intramural competition. George Underwood distinguished himself by making the second team All-Intramural selection, and Norm Benfer, Bill Massey, and T. T. Spence made honorable mention. Our football team was defeated only once and was tied once. The basketball teams (there are two) are now getting started on their schedules and have good chances for taking division cups.

Brother Rodrigo "Rod" Rigione made a name for himself and for Pi Kappa Phi by catching the sports writers' eyes on the soccer field this fall. He was responsible for much of Duke's scoring in that game.

Archon Bill Whalen has appeared in several campus "sings." His feats in tap-dancing have been highly entertaining and unusual. His guiding band will be seen in the "Hoof 'n' Horn" musical production next spring. Lawson Crowe and Tom Driver both took leads in the Duke Players' "Shadow and Substance" December 9 and 10 and received campus applause. The chapter, in fact, bas made a name for itself on· the local stage.

Christmas holidays will extend from December 18 to January 3. After the brief respite, we'll be back ready to wind up the semester, suffer exams, elect new officrs, and move in on the job of rushing.

"Rushing" was extremely spirited at Roanoke College this year. For our part, in addition to several "smokers" and the usual "bull-sessions," we held a cabin party and a semi-formal dinner-dance.

Since our last letter 13 more of the finest have worn the white rose of Pi Kappa Fbi. Our newest pledges come to us from far and near. They are: Bob Baxter from Staten Island, N. Y.; Buddy Butts from Salem, Va. ; Lee Hughes from Roanoke, Va. ; James Kinsey from Salem, Va.; Fred Larson from Carlock, Illinois; Werner Neubauer from White Plains, N. Y.;

Dancing, good chow, group singing, an finally, bathed in moonshine, a hayri6 R! back to campus, all helped to make up se perfect party.

The semi-formal dinner-dance culmin ated our rushing season. Soutbern-friet chicken and all the trimmin' was serve1 to the 14 couples attending. After dinner the group was addressed by Joe Guth ridge, district archon, and Fred Grim, th' national historian, respectively. Shortl! after the applause died down, dancing bt gan and continued until Miss Lois Park hurst was presented as our new Pi Kapf Rose. Lois a Roanoke College senior ani a member of the Sphinx Sorority, bai~ from Washington, D. C. Charming anc sweet, possessing all that feminine grao and beauty, she is-in short-a truly won derful girl.

Upsilon

After another interesting and active semester, Upsilon is about to recess all social activities so th e boys may study for mid terms.

Our socia l activities haave been many .

The pledges gave us a big Hallowe'en party. They built a big 14-foot pumpkin, through the mouth of which we had to crawl to enter the dance floor. Our chaperones, good sports all, craw led through too.

The largest event of the year was Homecoming when over 200 alumni and guests came back for a visit. Much effort went into building our elaborate house display.

We were sure we would win first placebut came the winds and rain! A successful meeting was held after the banquet and Upsilon's corporation officers made big plans for our future . One immediate plan is to establish a building for a new house.

Our last big event of the season was our Christmas "Yuletide Fantasy" held at the house on December 11. Music was furni shed by Bill Brown . Prior to the dance the members entertained their dates at a steak dinner at the Champaign Town Club. We had a grand time.

We are still talking about our get-together with the district chapters. We hope our guests from Alpha Phi, Alpha Psi, and Omega enjoyed themselves as much as we did .

Our alumni will be interested to learn we now have fourteen neophytes in the house.

Chi started the social calendar with an "open house" on October 2nd . The singing of songs and the program put on by the pledges was enjoyed by everyone.

Some brothers conceived the original idea of giving a "FROLIC" to all freshman and new students in order to become better acquainted. It was held after the first "open bouse" at1d met with such success we've decided to make it an annual affair.

"Homecoming Week" was soon upon us. The float committee·, headed by Bro-

29

ther Artie Morris, constructed a float which brought Chi "First Place Trophy" in the annual parade. On Friday night we gave a dance at the Kentucky-Florida Club for all returning alumni and mem bers. On Saturday noon , members and alumni enjoyed a barbecue given by the school for students and alumni. Then all followed the parade to the municipal stadium to witness the game between Stetson and F. S. U. Tommy Deen , Thomas Ewing, Nick Triantafellu, Jim Jenkins, Lewis Treen, Charlie Schuler, Bob Doty, George Ossario, Charles Pratt, Neil Kelson, and Addison Gilbert represented us on the team. Brother Artie Morris and Pledge Glenn Williamson were cheer lead-

ers. A buffet supper was served on the front lawn and an open house was held throughout the evening.

A wiener roast was given for the new pledges at a nearby lake on November 18.

Our quartet entertained with songs and the pledges introduced a few new games.

The following day all Pi Kapps and dates formed a "motorcade" and journeyed to Daytona to witness the Stetson-Milsaps game. We enjoyed a fried shrimp dinner before the game. Stetson afterwards nosed out Milsaps, 12 to 6, in the last 28 seco nd s of one of the best gridion clashes of the year. Brother Nick Traintafellu served as Co-Capt. of the game.

On December 3rd Chi gave an "open house" for visiting debate squads froJil Mercer, F . S. U., U of F . Southern and Miami.

Social activities were terminated with the Annual Founders Day Banquet. Fac· ulty members and alumni in attendance were Brother Ernest "Pop" Machen, Prof.

Charles T . Henderson, and Prof. Harold M. Giffin. We enjoyed their speeches and t9e results of Chi's officers on the accomp· lishments of the quarter. The week was terminated by going to church in a body to further honor our Founders.

New house officers elected to serve were: Matt Sims, archon; Robert Martin, treasurer; Richard Luse, secretary; Earl Trabue, historian; Ralph Harris, chaplain; Jack Osburn, warden; Jack Moore, house manager; an!1 Francis Summers, steward.

We pledged the following men: Donald Brown, Norman Lilly, Robert Reeves, Richard Shaffer, Raymond Swanstrom, Neil Fritts, Carl Pettet, August Geiring, Jack Hopkins, Arthur McKay, Bruce Hunter, Garth Kohlmeyer, James Wilson, and Frank Van Orden. Frank Van Orden is a graduate student from Holland.

We initiated four men: Roland Curtis, Duane Davis, Curtis Myrick, and Gaylord Nixon.

Brightening the social scene for us was an exchange dinner with Delta Delta Delta sorority; a fireside; and a very successful pledge dance, "Rue-De Pigallc," was fol lowed next day by the traditional pledge dinner for pledges and their dates.

We had a successful Homecoming and various alumni returned to visit and participate in the fun. The main event wa5 a noise parade, the first of such since before the war. We had a big horn from a Victory ship, other horns and whistles, air compressors with chipping hammers, and every imaginable noise-maker we could find. We · want to thank Alpha Omega for so me of these loaned for the occasion.

We were teamed up with Pi Beta Phi sorority and although we didn't take first place, we had a lot of fun and made a lot of noise trying.

Alpha Zeta has done well this year in placing several men in different honor societies in school. Before the end of the year we expect to have some more.

House activities came to a close with the annual Christmas party for children from the local W. C. T. U. Farm Home.

We shared with these homeless boys and girls some of that Pi Kapp spirit, and at the same time gained a bit of prestige for ourselves.

Wheels rolled considerable distances during fall term. Members visited chapters at Penn State and Iowa State in conjunction with football games between Mich\gan State and their respective schools. All who went brought back glowing reports of hospitality shown them.

We wish to thank Alpha Mu and Alpha Omicron for their splendid hospitality. A cordial invitation is extended to each of them to visit us when the games are held here next year.

We had a very instructive visit from Charles Martin last term. He supplied the answers to numerous questions which had arisen since we opened our new house.

The chapter wishes to take this opportun ity to thank him for his words of wisdom.

We are rapidly completing the task of redecorating our new house. Next term should see the last strokes made with paint and paste brushes and the cessation of the almost constant sounds of hammering and sawing heard since last summer.

Alpha Iota

The fall quarter has been a busy one for Alpha Iota. We were cl1eered upon our return from summer vacations to find the house had been redecorated downstairs.

An interior decorator was employed to do the job, and judging from results, he was

32

well worth his salary. Our downstairs is now one of the most beautiful on campus.

We pledged twenty new men this fall, swelling· our total active enrollment to fifty-eight brothers and twenty pledges.

The new men are Donald Barkley, Linden; Bill Brown, Mobile; Bill Ford, Jasper; Charles Fricke, Athens; Charles Barbaree, Montgomery; Greg Mitchell, Los Angeles, Calif.; Jack Yonge and James Lochard, Columbus, Ga.; Karl Bradley and Kenneth Jackson, Sheffield; Kenneth Cochran and Jimmy Martin, Albertville; T. 0 . McDowell and George Walden, Selma; and Dan Baker, John Erwin, Tom Fuller, Fred Hallmark, Bill Strickland, and "Arky" Van, Birmingham. We think these new men constitute one of the best pledge classes on the campus.

Because of the many college activities connected with football season we bad a light social program this quarter. We had four rush parties, however, and these were fruitful. The AOPi sorority entertained u~ with a musical party. Then, to end the quarter with a . good taste in our mouths, we gave a stag Christmas party for brothers and p!edges. Everyone got an inexpensive present and generous ta ste of egg no g.

Alpha Iota has accumulated a few additional "wheels" this quarter. Jimmy Floyd was tapped by Blue Key and Wesley Meeks

by ODK. Wesley was also elected Business Manager of the Auburn ~ngineer, official publication of the engineering school. Lewis Johnson was elected president of the Society for the Advancement of Management and Bill Floyd was elected president of Alpha Epsilon Delta, honorary pre-merJ fraternity . Ted Robbins and Frank Robison received further honors wh.en they were selected for membership in "Who's Who in American Colleges and ·universities." Pete Comfort was tapped

by Alpha Phi Omega, honorary service fraternity, and Maynard Strickland by Delta Sigma Pi, honorary business fraternity. We are expecting great things from Jim McGowin in football. He transferred from Omicron and , was ineligible this year, but will be ready for action next September.

Eight brothers joined the ranks of alumni this quarter. Maynard Strickland, Calvin Adamson, Floyd Younginer, Malcolm McCain, Warren Borland, Bob Thrash, Carl Ham, and Charles Beaird .

Two of these men, Brothers Beaird and Younginer, married almost immediately after graduation.

New officers elected to serve during winter and spring quarters are: John Haw-

thorne, archon; Ed Grant, treasurer.

Lewis Johnson , secretary; Joe Pilcher histo rian; Bill Floyd, chaplain; Whit Stuckey, warden; Ted Harper, steward, and Howard White, house manager. Under the leadership of these men, Alpha Iota is looking forward to even greater achieve· ments.

Alpha Omicron

Following an eventful fall quarter, Alpha Omicron is now in the midst of winter school and chapter activities. We are ably directed by Harold A. Cowles, archon. At present there are 36 actives and 23 pledges.

Our recent initiates are: Lee Barrett, Rockwell City; Warren McElhinney, Dysart, James Rickert, Reinbeck; Wayne Reed, Ames; Don Ryan, Omaha, Nebr.; Edgar Perry, Greenville, Ky.; Harold Reibman, Middle Amana; Robert Landgraf, Dubuque; and Robert Smith , Colfax.

Homecoming was a great success with many alumni in attendance. Iowa St~te beat Colorado 18-6 in a colorful game.

Our .house decorations, which were considered the best yet, were under the direction of Jim Carson and Paul Proescholdt.

Charles Martin, Traveling Counselor, honored us with a visit October 7-8-9. He was most helpful and welcome. From here he visited Alpha Omicron transfers, John Coons and Gene Hawkins, who have started a Pi Kappa Phi Club at Drake University.

Founders' Day was celebrated by a Sunday dinner on December 5. Despite unfavorable weather many alumni turned out for the occasion. Secretary George Dubes was afterwards awarded the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Scroll and Key by former Pi Kapp Scholar, Ray Kottman, Alpha Omicron. District Archon Wayne Moore gave an interesting talk on the values of a fraternity and bow we, as members, can contribute to it. A Christ mas party was held December 11, with Santa Claus making his annual visit There was an exchange of gifts the following Sunday.

Belated announcement of last spring's scholastic rating showed we were third among the twenty-eight fraternities on campus. We hope to equal this for the fall quarter.

Plans are underway for our winter formal dance, to be held February 26.

Brother Jerry Love, social chairman, is

making the necessary arrangements. We hope to make this an annual affair to round out our winter social activities. The Rose Ball will be held May 21.

Pledgemaster Ray White has several new men in the pledge class. AI Kuester of Fort Dodge is president of the class. Other new pledges are: John Legg, Hudson, Richar-:1 Dole, San Marino, Calif. ; Ralph Griffith, Lynbrook, N . Y.; Richard Stewart, Gladbrook; Richard Hoefer, Davenport; Richard Ewen, Fort Dodge; Robert Huber and Thomas H . Lowndes, Sioux City; Robert Walters, Mason City; Thomas Wilke, Monona; Louis Anich, Mukwonago, Wise. ; Charles Mehlbaus Dysart; Jerry Borum, Lansing, Mich.: Paul Needham, Boone; and Charles Elmohr, Overland, Mo . The pledges have done considerable , work in redecorating the bouse and have had several dances and smokers.

We sincerely hope that Pi Kappa Phi a lumni passing through Ames will stop and visit us.

Alpha Sigma

Down Tennessee way the spotlight turns again on Tom Vaughan, distinguished president emeritus of the student body and of Alpha Sigma of Pi Kappa Phi, who recently was chosen one of four men to receive the coveted position of "Torchbearer" at the university. In addition to this honor he has just been elected to "Who's Who." Thus Tom winds up a singular career of service to his school and his fraternity, a career we are tempted to compare with that of Alpha Sigma alum nus, Charlie Martin, Pi Kapp traveling counselor.

Also graduating at this time is another archon emeritus, Brother Odus Johnson, who has served his fraternity faithfully and untiringly since his pledging before the war.

Another Pi Kapp of distinction , Howard .

Baker, was chosen for the second time to "Who's Who." Howard, as student body president, bas been consistently advancing the cause of student government. He presided over the conference of Southern Student Body Presidents which recently convened at Tennessee.

Attending the conference and staying at the house as our guest was Pi Kapp Fred Kendall, president of the stu-:lent body at North Carolina State. The men of Alpha Sigma were instantly overwhelmed by Fred's remarkable ability and his warm friendliness.

33

Brother Sam Browder, newly elected archon, has been honored with membership in the Scarabbean society. Sam served last fall as chairman of the All Students' Party, a campus political organization. He was also tapped by Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity.

Other officers chosen along with Sam we re treasurer, John DeBoard; secretary, Edward Hoskins; historian, Cliff Longcoy; chaplain, Johnny Reisser ; warden, Bucky Verner; and house manager, Billy Melvin.

Brother Joe Powell, along with Jane Peters, Tri-Delt, has been appointed comanager of the University All-Sing, a production in which fraternities and sororities with unusual vocal ability participate.

Other Pi Kapps receiving awards have bee n Beverly Ramsey, secretary-treasurer of The Fraternity Relations Board; Bill Miller, tapped by Tau Beta Pi, engineering scholastic fraternity; James Holt, initiated into Pi Kappa Phi scholarship society; Bob Nicholson, membership in Pi Delta Phi, professional legal fraternity; and L. D .

Garinger, appointed law editor of The Volunteer, university yearbook.

Brothers Coggins and Cummins and pledges Elkas and Bergmeir held down important posts on the well-known U. T. varsity footb all team. Particularly noticeable were the pass receptions by Bergmeir, the rugged blocking of Coggins, and the stellar line play of Elkas. Pi Kapps show promise of coming up with a razzle-dazzle basketball aggregation in fraternity intramurals.

Our homecoming weekend turned out to be a huge success. Thanks to Brothers Armstrong, St. Clair, and Hutton, our fraternity display was a masterpiece of mechanical prec1s1on.

A Vol football player standing on board ship pounded the 'Barna pink elephant on the bead with aR oar, knocking it beneath the crimson tide, where a Neptune-like Vol football star gave said elephant an upward boost with his spear.

Brothers Verner and Reisser, recipi ents of the Purple Heart for their sound recording efforts, have developed into the world's most experienced Alabama Pi gurglers and trumpeters.

Kapps, including a cheerleader and several members of the Million Dollar Band, were on hand, as were a noteworthy contingent of alumni,-Bob Sneed and Emmett Jackson from Birmingham; James Tombras, Grady Jacoway, and Jim Snow from Chattanooga; Charlie Niles from Lexington, Ky. ; and Spears Vavalides, John Miller, and Clark McMahan.

34

We have every reason to be proud of our spirited group of pledges. Brothers Ellis and Browder have helped them avoid many pitfalls of the college freshman and ' have guided them well in their journey toward membership in Pi Kappa Phi. The Pi Kapp formal with its usual Christmas theme was scheduled to coincide as nearly as possible with Founders' Day .

Amid colorful Christmas lights couples enjoyed one of the finest dances of the year. The intermission skit, "A Christmas Barrel," was excelled only by the dramas of the great Elizabethan bard himself.

"Scrooge" Hall, star of the prorluction, will undoubtedly receive an Oscar for his masterful performance, particularly for tqe startlingly original rendition of his lines, "I'll flunk 'em alii" The bathing suits, each containing a U. T . co-ed, gave Brother Hall strong competition for top honors. Aa a fitting climax, Pi Kapp limousines, packed with charming girls wound their way through London imported fog to the Anchorage for a rousing breakfast. Not soon to be forgotten were self-styled song leaders - Vaughan, Baker, and Browder.

If the next season is as successful as the· last, the spirit and tradition of Pi Kappa Phi will remain an integral part of every phase of campus life at the University of Tennessee.

Alpha Chi

This has been a busy and successful fall term for Alpha Chi. We started the semester with a two-week rushing period.

Several parties were held at the house and a good time was had by all the brothers.

We pledged . the following men: Bud Felmeyer, Scotty Holmes, Cicel Sabin, Dick McElwaine, Forest DeRues, Bob Kresge, and Leo Furlong.

When many of our brother Pi Kapps are shoveling snow in the north and west, we tropical Pi Kapps may be enjoying a fishing trip. One such jaunt recently took us to Snake Creek located in the Florida Keys, a spot supposed to be the most bountiful fishing hole in the world. But not for us--perhaps we caught the wrong tide or used the wrong bait. We didn't catch anything large enough to brag about.

November found us working on our annual homecoming float . We decorated the house and attended the big dance.

Tex Beneke furnished the music and it was solid!

Fifteen of our brothers traveled to Gainesville for the University of MiamiFlorida Homecoming game. Brothers of

Alpha Epsilon extended us the [I Pap, hospitality for which they are noted. Thi char are really a great group.
