How To Build

Chapter Publications WFIAT is the motivating force behind the publication

of our undergraduate chapter publications? hisAre theY: published so the undergraduate can see acco~a~e In print and can review with pride the licatioPhsh';lents of the past few months? Is the pubgrou ~ de~Igned to perpetuate the history of .the local Withp his It pointed toward familiarizing the alumni With w a~ the undergraduate chapter bas been doing, c0111 b.a VIew to holding alumni interest? It should shoul~n~ all three of these purposes. The publication as a Implement contact with the alumni; however Pub]~ a~umnus, reviewing not only my own chapter I fe~]cahtions but also the publications of other chapters, t at all fall short of the objective.

Alumni Can Help

see~ 7 ca!I this objective be implemented? It does not work ~asib]e for the undergraduate to do all of the rnore .. 'hy not put the alumni to work? They'll be as a I~terested in their chapter and the fraternity the w ole. Why not develop direct contact between alurnU~dergraduate editor and several well-informed chapti, the alumni to furnish information for the er Publication?

is ;~~at does the alumnus want to read? Certainly he he !"~rested in what the undergraduate is doing, but Pr~fei e the undergraduate, is egotistical enough to s0111 / to see his own name in print rather than that of 0 Print ~ he does not know. Also, he likes to see in p e names of the men whom he knew in school.

coul~r~aps

a section of an undergraduate publication fr 0111 the devoted to letters or parts of letters receiv~d letter e alumni. How can we get the alumni to send the 0 5 to the chapter? One of the best ways is to answer pr 0111 nels that do come to the chapter, and answer them Pt y.

Evaluate Material

l11a~h~ Way

to start improvement is by evaluating the b ena] in the current issue of the chapter publication. oWe h Wo ave too much copy on the fact that the chapter n th 路 l11Uch e Intra-mural whing-ding? Do we have too bo copy on our BMOC's (Big Men on Campus)? any We have too much copy on our Rose Queen?

Pi Kappa Phi Goes to Arizona FIFTEEN hundred miles or more separate Pi Kappa Phi chapters at the University of California and the University of Nebraska. That gap has existed since 1915 when Nu Chapter was founded at the University of Nebraska.

April 28 saw the first link in that span placed at the University of . Arizona when the Beta Theta Chapter was chartered in ceremonies presided over by National President Theron A. Houser, St. 楼atthews, S. C., and Executive Secretary W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Richmond, Va.

Mrs. Pottenger Receives Roses Mr. Jones presented a bouquet of red roses to Mrs. W. A. Pottenger, pointing out that "Mrs. Pottenger holds a distinction claimed by no other person on the face of the earth. She has three sons who have been presidents of their respective Pi Kappa Phi chapters.

Here, it was her third son, Bill, who came from Chicago with the will to pioneer for Pi Kappa Phi just as did Theodore B. Kelly at the University of California in 1907." Mrs. Pottenger's other two sons are James, founding archon of Beta Theta, and John, Alpha Phi '43, who lives in Chicago.

Mrs. Thomas Gilmour, mother of charter member Thomas Gilmour, was presented roses in appreciation for the lovely buffet dinner she prepared for the new 4

Beta Theta on its installation day and her many oth kindnesses to the chapter.

Mrs. Bob Brown, wife of the new Beta Thel archon, was presented a bouquet of roses.

Purdue's OmegaNational Champion Davidson's Epsilon, Iowa State's Alpha Omicron Are Runners-Up QMEGA Chapter, Purdue niversity, running perfect scores for month after month, amassed an amazing 401 batting average to be Pi Kappa Phi 's number one chapter for the 1950-51 school year thus heading the list of 20 chapters awarded "Master Chapter" certificates in June.

Sporadic work from the office of historian destroyed Davidson's chance of overtaking the high -flying boilermakers. Rushing committee ease-up waylaid Alpha Omicron in its attempt to cop the bunting, and it had to b2 happy with the third spot.

Mid-West Chapters Rank High Midwestern organizations exhibited their excellent attitude toward their fraternity in that while only 11 of our 47 chapters are in the Middle West, four of these are among the top seven.

Western organizations were paced by a swashbuckling crew from Gamma at California. Solid in every department, it placed fourth.

Virginia Groups Speed Up Washington and Lee, and Roanoke, the Virginia chapters, closed at a terrific pace to move into the charmed circle late in the season. Particularly of interest was the scholarship progress chart maintained

by Roanoke. The result saw it move from a 225 aggregation to a final 316.

Florida saw three of its five chapters in the big ring. Florida State led this contingent with a solid 357 for eighth place. Florida caught on to the scholarship idea late and finished with a rush to land twelfth place with a respectable 323.

Drake, in seventh place, is the post-War chapter champion.

''Champion Pledger'' Collects Antiques HIS ACHIEVEMENTS for Pi Kappa Phi during the years since he was initiated into Eta Chapter, Emory University, 31 years ago have won for Euchlin D. Reeves, Providence, R. I., the title of "Champion Pledger." When asked about his methods, he declined to discuss them, saying he would reveal them at the next Pi Kapp convention.

"It is with pardonable pride that I note how some of my personal pledges have made their mark in the world," Mr. Reeves confided. "And as for the fraternity in general, where we lack in quantity we certainly make up in quality." · In looking back over his academic career. Mr. Reeves related that he did his preparatory work at Piedmont Academy. He started his higher education at Emory and then transferred to Washington and Lee, where he obtained his LL.B. degree in 1927, and also transferred his fraternity membership to Rho Chapter, and, as he put it, "rounded out seven full and glorious years with Pi Kappa Phi." After graduation , Mr. Reeves sold fraternity jewelry for BurrPatterson and Auld for five years. Later, in 1932 , he was a partner with his cousin, Hazard E. Reeves, Iota '24, Georgia Tech, in the Reeves Sound Studios, 1600 Broadway, New York City. When .Euchlin Reeves ' mother's health broke down in 1933, he left the sound business and returned to Clarkesville, Ga., where he assisted his mother in operating her Summer hotel.

In 1940, after his mother's death, he went with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company as retail sales supervisor in Providence.

November 8, 1943, Mr. Carr was advanced to executive vice-president and general manager of the rapidly expanding athletic equipment firm, and began the most colorful phase of his career.

The United States was at war, and the Rawlings Manufacturing Company had received a war contract to design and produce helmets for the tank men who were to spearhead the great military advances in every theater of operations. He was directly responsible for the design, approval, and production of the helmet.

And he got them there, and on time.

Largely because of his efforts and management skill, the Rawlings Manufacturing Company was awarded the Army-Navy "E", the first so awarded to any manufacturer of athletic equipment. In the long months of tireless production that followed, three more awards came to the firm for service to the Government.

September 25, 1946, Mr. Carr was elected president of Rawlings, a firm that today is manufacturing equipment and uniforms for the major competitive sportsfootball, baseball, basketball, and softball-a firm whose name is known around the world.

Miss Nancy Alli~on

T h e Fehl71 Studio

Group Crowns Queen Miss Nancy Allison, Portland, Ore., a major in Art Education at the university, was chosen Rose of 1951 by ~lpha Omega and presented a dozen red roses at the Rose Ball April 28 . The presentation was made by Miss Norma Allen, 1950 Rose, while Archon Fred Decker placed a crested locket about her neck. Miss Allison was escorted by Wiiliam Gaffney.

The other members of the court were Princesses Tatia Wiilia~s, Salem, Ore., escorted by Warren Woodruff, and Jeanne Alexander, escorted by her husband, Miles Alexander. Each princess was presented a dozen yellow roses and a crested bracelet.

In keeping with the " Rose" theme, the house was lavishly decorated to appear as a rose garden. Latticework about the rooms was inter-woven with greenery, vines, and red roses. A perfumed water fountain kept the air cool and fragrant.

12

Alpha Omega moved into its new home at 1385 Franklin Blvd., Eugene, Ore., May 6. The new resi· dence seems to be ideal for fraternal Jiving, because although it is away from the rest of the campus and its spontaneous activities, the members can Jive and work together without constant interruption.

The house sits back about 100 yards from tJJe university's famous mill race. The Jot is about 150x22l feet, not tn mention an acre field at the rear whicll can be used for sports.

The woman who lived here before the. fraternit) moved in was active in the Eugene Flower Club, and she left a fortune in flowers, plants, and shrubs on t}le lot. Each is a fine specimen of its kind. Large trees....fruit, nut, pine, fir, and cedar- furnish ample shade for comfortable living.

The house is a solidly-built frame structure, re· modeled on the inside two years ago. The first flo01 consists of a large living room with fireplace, dinin~ room, and a large kitchen--quite a relief to the coo~ after the cramped kitchen facilities in the old house· Since there are only two floors and a full basement, a sleeping problem was presented. This was solved wbeP the largest of the upstairs rooms was made into a sleeP' ing porch. The other: three rooms are used for studY· The all-concrete basement is partially taken up by aP oil furnace and fruit room. Two showers have befP installed in the basement near the wash tubs. The h01 water supply problem was solved with the instaJlatioP of a new 40-gallon tank in sequence with the old one· The new chapter room will take up one side of the basement. There is still plenty of room to construct another small sleeping room along one of the otbef walls, should the necessity arise.

The pledges contributed much to the cleaning up of the house and Jot during the recent initiation·.

GLEN GARRETT GIVES FRENCH HORN RECITAL

By DON HIBBARD, Editor Alpha Omegan

THE UNIVERSITY of Oregon School of Music presented a French Horn Recital by Glen Garrett, Alpha Omega, of Salem, Ore., May 20. Only rarely is a full program presented , featuring the French born, as it is normally used as an ensemble instrument.

The program , including works by Hindemith , Brahms, and Mozart, was well received. Particularly noticed was the fact that it drew the largest faculty attendance for the year for any student recital.

Mr. Garrett has been active in music for a number of years, beginning French horn when he was in the sixth grade. He won high honors while in high school.

He traveled to Olympia, Wash., where he appeared as guest soloist when only a junior, attending Salem High School. He earned first chair in both the University Band and the Symphony Orchestra when he was a freshman at the University of Oregon. While be was a sophomore he appeared as featured soloist with the University Band on tour. This year be bas been active in both instrumental groups and various chamber music programs. He has been selected as one of the featured soloists with the University Symphony Orchestra for this Fall. These organizations are noted as being among the outstanding college musical organizations in the Northwest.

''HAP'' SAAR YE WRITES OF HIS WORK IN KOREA Through the courtesy of Alpha Omega, University of Oregon, the Star and Lamp is able to give you below the text of a letter which 1st Lt. Harold P. Saabye, Alpha Omega '26, 25th Fgt. Intp. Sqd., APO 917, cj o PM, San Francisco, Calif., wrote to his chapter from Tsuiki, Japan .

April 11:

Alpha Omegan Comes "The other day I was very surprised to find February's issue of the Alpha Omegan. This note is a direct result of same.

"Perhaps deep in the annals of Alpha Omega history you may find my name, but I doubt there are many of your number who recall the time when I, too, roamed the campus. I regret that I was able to serve as a member of Pi Kappa Phi for such a short time. However, if there is one among you who would take my place here I would gladly rotate, so that I might carry on.

"At present I'm attached, (body a nd soul) to the 51st Fighter Interceptor Group based in Japan . We fly

combat missions over Korea each day and return to our tents at Tsuiki.

It's a swell job- full of excitement and glamour. At least that's what I used to think. We fly F-80 jets, fire rockets, drop bombs, napalm , and in general raise hell with anything on the ground. Our only sweat is MIGs, flack , and the possibility of being forced down in North Korea. T~ey hate " fly-boys."

Wants Letters " Now this sounds like a gripe, a nd

i apologize as it was not intended as such. Merely an informative letter and one of thanks for the fraternity news. If any of the fellows are still around who used to help me kill snakes on the golf course, give them my address. I'd appreciate hearing from them.

"Congratulations on the GPA (Grade Point Average) standing. In fact there are several large improvements you are to be commended for .

"Fraternally yours, "Hap Saabye"
