Letters from Our Readers Atlanta,

A 11g11sta, Ga. Dear Editors : The story about "Euch" Reeves proves to have been the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back."

In short, I have never failed yet to read the Star and Lamp from cover to cover, and each time I find myself wondering about the good Brethren of Alpha Epsilon of yesteryears.

Naturally, the idea of "priming the pump," so to speak, with a Jetter has often occurred to me, but, for one reason or another. it just hasn't been written. Upon seeing Euch's picture in the latest issue-and recognizing "The Champion Pledger"-before rea·ding either the caption or the article, I decided to undertake the Jetter.

Dear Ed1tors: I would take this time to tell you swell i.s»ue of the Star and Lamp you put out this Everyone at the house thought it was outstanding. I we have a new traveling counselor. When will we here at Upsilon? Fraternally yours,

One of the things that used to impress me about "Pi Kapps" during my campus days was that, regardless of his particular chapter or his individual personality, he always fit in with all other brothers. For example, although "Euch" Reeves was not of Alpha Epsilon actually, we always regarded him as one of us. Now, since leaving the "ivy covered halls of old Florida," I have found out that Pi Kapps have another attribute in common-wherever they hail from, they always seem to end up as solid citizens in their particular communities.

Fraternally yours,

From that gathering I emerged as Emment Supreme Archon (later National President) solely because I then had more hair than my very competent predecessor, John D. Carroll.

Just when everything was under control, a zealous Army colonel carried me off to the Hawaiian Islands as an "automotive expert."

Parade of Orchids Is Highlight The annual Parade of Orchids week end, March 28-29, was truly the greatest ever. The festivities started Friday evening with an apache party in the frat house, with brother Fred Conway in charge.

Tables and chairs were arranged cabaret style around the dimly candle lit, 路low ceiling room. A four piece jazz combo furnished the music. The outside of the house was lighted with two floodlights, and the veranda was converted into a lounge.

Activities continued Saturday when the Pi Kapps took their dates to Burts Park for an afternoon of swimming and boating. Later the hungry crowd was served a fried chicken supper, topped with apple and cherry pies. Picnic bosses were Bruce Wigle and George Frison.

Climax of the entire week end was the Orchid Ball.

Under the direction of L. M. Thomas a penthouse roof garden was created. As the guests entered the building they walked into a completely furnished living room, and through French doors, entered the

Dr. Paul S. Dull, right, Alpha Delta '34, associate professor of Political Science and History, University of Oregon, receives from Barry Mountain, associate student body president, the "Outstanding Faculty Member Award" for 1951.

The fourth point instrumental in his selection was that he set up and controlled Far Eastern Week, a full week providing accurate information on the Far East problems of the present. It was open to all . students. This year it was tagged as "one of the most successful conferences ever held at this university."

One of the speakers was H. J. Van Mook, who was Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies in 1941 when the Japanese invaded the country. He later served as Minister for the Colonies of the Dutch Government in Exile, in London. Also on the program were Julian Towster, an expert on Russia, and Nobutaka Ike and Robert C. North, both from the Hoover Memorial Institute and Library, Stanford, Calif.

Has Studied Extensively Dr. Dull was graduated from the University of Washington in 1935. He then proceeded with his graduate work. He spent a year in the Orient in 1938.

In 1940 he received his Doctor's Degree from the University of Washington. He then continued his studies at Harvard in 1940-41 on a Post-Doctorate Rockefeller Scholarship.

Soon afterwards be went into the Marine Corps and was sent to Pearl Harbor where he was stationed when the Japanese attack came on December 7, 1941.

He served as a language officer in the Marines for the duration of the war. Dr. Dull has been on the University of Oregon campus for five years.

Dr. Dull's favorite hobby is fishing, but he also does a bit of gardening. The spacious yard about his home is alive with the color of his beautiful roses.

In his spare time he likes to do research in Japanese language.

C. S. Reed lias Colorful Careef In ''Frontier'' Nebraska CHARLES S. REED was born in a sod house in Western Nebraska on June 4, 1896. His birthplace was his father 's homestead 30 miles to and from a "soddy" school house, where annual school terms . varied from five to seven months, depending on how much money was available to the rural school district.

In the early 1900's, drought and a grasshopper plague forced the Reed family to move to the nearby town of Arnold, from where his father operated a stage coach to the nearest railroad town, making a round trip of 46 miles each way, exclusive of Sunday.

In this "cow town," one teacher taught a ninegrade school, all housed in one large frame room.

School discipline was a fiction . One year, the bad boys ran three teachers out of town, and there were no candidates left to teach the last three months of the school term. Their favorite prank was to throw a loaded shotgun shell in the pot-bellied stove and slam the door shut before it blew up, throwing soot and the top stove plate around the room. The next year, the school board hired a heavyweight and equipped him with a loaded quirt. After the new " prof" had whipped the two town bullies, he stayed on for several years.

Goes In Business For Himself Even before he was in high school, Charlie went into business for himself. In those days almost every 10

a h to":'n famil;y bad its own milk cow which they would h lanat out m a vacant lot or take it to some nearbl a pastu~e during the daytime. The future Pi J{aPP

c?nc.eJVed the idea of renting a pasture near to~· p1ckmg up all of the cows in town each morJ1 1 ~E driving them to the rented pasture, and then brin~1111 i them. back to their own corrals for the night milk 111g; s He fmally built up a handling of the town herd 0 nearly forty cows at $2 per cow a month.

Previously, he had bought tbe necessary bor~ and saddle with a nest egg of $65 which he b8 earned selling "boiler-plate" publications like tbl Pennsylvania Grit and the Toledo Blade. These paPet: were peddled on Saturdays which was the big dal in Arnold. The local barber, who was a rancbrP~j during the rest of the week, did all of his tonsof131 work on Saturday. Brother Reed recalls that his beS. paper customers had their own handsomely decorat& shaving mugs and bone-handled razors.

Is Valedictorian At the age of fifteen, Charles Reed was the v~l~ dictorian of the first graduating class of Arnold B1g1 School. The next two years, he attended a stat teache~s c.ollege where he wholly supported himself .b~ doing Jamtor work for 20 cents an hour while tak 10• Pa care of the fancy driving horses of two local merchall1' in his spare time.

"Pi" Is Missing

By GLEN GARRETT, Historian Alpha Omega

ALPHA OMEGA'S little black cocker spaniel mascot, "Pi," is missing. He disappeared on the last day of Summer session at the University of Oregon, according to the three men who were living here at the time. He has not been seen or heard from since. We have an idea that someone liked our little buddy too much to share him with us, and decided to take him home, although we have no proof.

Pi would have been a senior this year. Given to the house by William Adams, Alpha Omega '48, in 1948, he was just a small puppy. He grew up in the house, and was fraternally-minded from the start. At an early age he acquired the habit of going to classes regularly with the members in the house. His usual procedure was to make the rounds of the classroom to see if he knew anyone else there, then come back to sprawl out at the foot of his fraternity brother and sleep for the remainder of the 50-minute period. He would become very impatient if the professor ran over the designated time.

Changes Major Course As a freshman, Pi started his major .in Art and Architecture, but changed to Business Administration the following year. During his junior year he continued his academic courses, but took up Music on the side. It took him a while to become accustomed to this, and in fact, he almost flunked out because his watch had always been set for a 50-minute class.

He had the utmost trouble in devoting his complete attention to the full two-hour rehearsals. Nevertheless, he managed to get through the year all right.

Pi has the distinction of being the only dog ever allowed in the Music School. It was his studious personality that did it.

Extra-Curricular Activities On the campus proper, he was most famous for his begging of donuts in the student union. His deep brown eyes charmed and m~lted even the coldest and most stern opposition of the young co-eds. He was undisputedly the most popular Pi Kapp on campus with the women.

Pi almost caused a scandal last Spring when be was discovered in Hendricks Hall, one of the women's dormitories, a full four hours after the doors had been locked for the night. Off the record, he claims to have spent the night there on several occasions, unknown to the housemother.

A great deal of time has lapsed now, since Pi has left us, and although we are wishing for his return, we have practically given up hope that he will be back. However, we will never forget the many happy days that be spent with us, and the color and life that "our little black devil" provided us during that time.

In going to Venice the couple traveled through the Po River Valley where they saw people using mules, horses, plows, and hardly any modern equipment women getting water at public watering places, scrub~ bing their clothes at community stalls, and clothes on the line everywhere.

"Venice was really different," Mrs. Anderson r~calls. "Tourists that we were, we took a gondola nde through the Grand Canal, visited the Doge's Palace, Bridge of Sighs, the prison . St. Marks Church , and the centuries-old glass factory. We also saw the opera, 'Lohengrin,' there, finding ourselves in the midst of formals even more dressy than in Wengen ." '<"From Venice we took the train to Florence and saw Florence's famous churches and museums as well as her suburbs where many rich people from other countries own homes," Mr. Anderson said. "There we also watched the silversmiths at work and saw the exquisite handiwork of the orphan boys in their leather-work shops."

Scenes Vary in Italy Pisa and .~orne came next in their itinerary. In Rome they vistted many of the usual places of interest such as the Coliseum, the Appian Way walls of Rome' Quo Vidas, the Catacombs, and St. P~ters. Then they (Continued on Page 19)

"Since my company has five plants, three here in the Twin Cities, one in Moline, Ill., and one in Louisville, Ky., I find it quite a job to spread my activities over such an area," he said. "It is an interesting problem, keeping on top of the methods and time standards in all plants."

Also Mr. Thomas has two sons, Robert, Jr ., 6, and P~ul , 212, who keep him from experiencing dull moments.

Vice-chairman of the Minnesota Section, the Ameri!=an Society of Mechanical Engine~rs, Mr. Thomas was active in the national Fall meetmg of the ASME which was held in Minneapolis in September.

The next event of importance was the Supreme Chapter meeting in Berkeley in December, 1921. With this meeting national unity really began to develop.

During the next two years, with the cooperation of a fine group of national officers, the constitution and by-laws were revised, the ritual improved, the Star and Lamp revitalized, finances strengthened, and a district type of organization established. This work, and much more, has been carried forward through the years until we now have a fraternity of which we can be truly proud.

the Dutch Inn in Lexington. He had spent his freshman year at Johns Hopkins University in 1918-1919 and had transferred to W. and L. the next Fall.

Boarding at "Castle Hill," an old rooming house in Lexington which has since been destroyed by fire, he met Arcy Ben Powell, Jr., a Pi Kapp from Emory University, Eta '18, now deceased , who had come to W. and L. after spending some time with an Army reserve unit encamped in Virginia. Powell and Milbourne, along with James R. Sims, Jr., another Pi Kapp transfer, Eta '20, and two other W. and L. students rooming at Castle Hill formed the colony.

"Good Sized" Group of 18 "W. and L. fraternities were small then," Jim observed, "and when I left in 192 2, we had 18 men, which we thought was a good-sized group." The chapter moved from one-room chapter quarters to a house on Main Street, to West Washington Street, and then back to Main Street, which was "fraternity row" in those days.

By the time he graduated with a B.A. Degree and a certificate from the School of Commerce and Business Administration in 1922, Jim had advanced with Pi Kappa Phi on the Washington and Lee campus, and in his senior year, he served as archon after fulfilling other duties before that. While in Lexington, he ran on the cross-country team, pitched for the baseball team, and rowed number three on the crew.

KAPPA PHI

Although born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Milbourne, with his family, had been living in Baltimore for a number of years, and he returned there as a real estate salesman. During the "roaring twenties," Florida had earned a reputation as a "boom state" and along with many other young men Milbourne treked South in 192 5 to engage in the real estate business in Florida. He was not the only Rho alumnus there, as his Pi Kapp brothers were there in force, including Walton Rex, '22, Forrest McGill, '21, and "Bill" Graves, '22.

A year later, he returned to his native Baltimore to become associated for seven years with Stein Brothers and Boyce, an old and established investment banking concern. Following this, Brother Milbourne engaged privately in the investment field.

In 1931, Milbourne's father became president of !he Monumental Radio Company. With a financial n~terest in the company and holding the position of d1rector as early as 1931, Jim became vice-president (Continued on Page 31) 15

CALLING THE University of California

Gamma

Before the close of school last June we held our annual elections whi ch gave us the following officers: Archon, Paul Petruzzelli, Berkeley, Calif.; treasurer, Richard Houston, Burlingame, Calif.; assistant treasurer, Bressee Warner; secretary, Maurice Wood; "Bi!l" Parker, "maitre d'hotel," who works for the fabulous - Clairemont Hotel and will serve as Gamma's housemanager and steward; warden, "Bob" Badger; chaplain, "Bobby" Witbeck, and historian and editor of the Gammazette, Peter Tennyson.

Along the fin ancial lines, we completed the year with a comfortable margin on the black side of the ledger and also managed to add a substantial amount to our Building Fund.

The undergraduates, with the help of some alumni, are already ~asting an eye about for a new location for the chapter house.

So far, international . conditions and Selective Service have not made too many dents in our roll. Loren Baker has departed temporarily for the Army, and "Lin" Sackrison and "Bob" Beavers, after graduation, enlisted in the Army and Air Force, respectively. Then there is our Mather Field contingent of th e Air Force Active Reserve of "Bill" Berry, who is on leave to finish school, "Chuck" Merrell, "Tom" Orr, "Bud" Oakes, and Warren Carson, recently transferred to Lakeland.

This coming semester we Pi Kapps will be in the thick of things as far as student body activities are concerned.

Among the more notable are "Doug" Higgins, elect&:! as gradu ate repreEentative at large to the A.S.U .C. Council.

Officers for the Fall semester are "Sib" Dorton, archon; Hooper Alexander, treasurer; "Bob" Murray, secretary; "Bob"· Erwin, historian; Winston Wright, chaplain; Cecil Rhodes, warden; "Jim" Carr, Pan-Hellenic Council representative. and Claude Booker, alumni secretary.

Epsilon had its annual beach party near Myrtle Beach, S. C., at the close of the past school year.

Jerry Kiser, a husky guard, has been selected as alternate captain of the Davidson football team. "Big Jerry" is Davidson's outstanding candidate for All-Southern honors this year. It looks as if Epsilon will be well represented on the grid-iron this Fall. Arnold Whisnant, "Bill" Reynolds, and David Peeler, along with Pledges Walter Oakes and "Phil" McGill, will also be fighting for the glory of dear "Ole" Davidson.

During the Summer a change took place in Epsilon's backyard. There is now another patio in fraternity court. The fraternity owes much to Cecil Rhodes for his untiring efforts on behalf of the patio. We would also like to thank our loyal 22

Omicron

At the close of the semester last Spring, Omicron decided that every man should return to the campus three days prior to freshman registration in order to prepare for rush week.

Everyone co-operated and as a result, we had three extra days in which to prepare for rush. During these three days we cleaned the house, painted, and got the yards in good condition.

Because of this and the pre-planning of our rush chairman, Bro. Clarence Meadows, we were very successful with our rushing program. Thus far, we have pledged 20 men.

This year we are planning to do our chapter business by committees as suggested by the diagram furni shed by National.

Rho

In June the chapter was awarded a Master Chapter rating in Pi Kappa Phi for 1950-1951 from the National Office.

House Overflows With 23 brothers living in the house, many members have found it necessary to look for quarters elsewhere for the first time in many years. Two brothers, Tom Warfield and Marvin Anderson, are serving as counselors in the Freshman Dormitory .

The chapter has a new housemother, Mrs. H. W . McConnell, of Bristol, Va. Selected over many other applicants by a committee composed of James W . H . Stewart, '51, of Lexington, Va., chairman, Past Chapter Adviser Earle K. Paxton, '22, of Lexington, and Chapter Adviser Herbert N. Hamric, Jr., '43, of Lexington, Mrs. McConnell succeeds Mrs. Ethel Kerr, who has been with the chapter since 1947. Mrs. McConnell was highly recommended, having served as a housemother on the University of Tennessee campus for four years.

Rho Wins Scholarship Bowl The biggest surprise to emerge from the Summer vacation was an announcement that Rho had led the 17 social fraternities and the Campus Club academically during the second semester of last year to win the Scholarship Bowl presented each semester to the top group by the faculty of Washington and Lee University. Dean James G. Leyburn will present the Bowl to the house formally at Homecoming October 27. This marks the first time that the chapter has led the campus scholastically since the early 1920's. Pacing the chapter in this accomplishment were three students with straight "A" averages, "Bill" Bailey, "Bill" Stewart, and "Jim" Turk, followed by a host of others on the dean's Jist.

Although the group to return this Fall was the largest in the history of the chapter since the war, one brother initiated here in 1950 returned after a year at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S. C. Bill Glenn, '53, transferred back to W. and L. Bob Glenn, of Radford, Va., one of six seniors in the Commerce School initiated into Beta Gamma Sigma, commerce honorary, graduated but will continue his stay with us in Law School. John 0. Martin, of Falls Church, Va., received his B.A. Degree and is furthering his medical career this Fall at George Washington University in Washington. He returned for part of rush week this year. Edmund C. Robbins, of New York, received his B.A. Degree with a certificate in journalism.

Dean B. Stewart, Jr., of Oil City, Pa., added an L.L.B. from the Law School and is currently with an insurance company in Providence, R. I. Numerous Posts Held By Members Jim Turk, of Roanoke, was elected by the rising senior class in the Law School to represent it in the Executive Committee

23

of the Student Body, the highest governing body on the campus as well as the honor court at Washington and Lee. Jim's campaign in Tucker Hall was managed by "Bill" Stewart, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Five brothers received promotions on campus publication staffs last Spring. Marvin Anderson, of Annapolis, Md., and Dick Carden, of Victoria, Va., were named as managing editor and associate editor, respectively, on Tile Ring-tum Phi, student body semi-weekly newspaper. The Turk brothers of Roanoke, Jim and Maynard, will serve as associate editors of the Washington and Lee Law Review, membership on which is based upon academic achievement.

Chapter Pleased With Sanchez Appointment The chapter was pleased to hear of the appointment of Brother Ramon F. Sanchez, Sigma '45, of Pensacola, Fla., as the new traveling counselor for Pi Kappa Phi. While be is not an initiate of Rho, be graduated from Washington and Lee and served as its house manager, treasurer, and rush chairman in his two and one-half years in Lexington. He is the winner of the Earle K. Paxton Trophy for 1948-1949.

Milton J. ("Doc") Elliott, of Portsmouth, Va., was initiate-:} .into the fraternity September 16, marking the successful initiation of all of the chapter's pledges from last year.

Sigma started the new school year with a party at a brother's house on Lake Murray. The entire chapter was there, along with some of the alumni.

Dan Cupid was very active in the chapter this year. Five of the brothers have been married and one more is to be married in December. This took more of the brothers than graduation.

We have members in almost every activity on the campus and are rated one of the best fraternities on the campus.

Tau

Vast improvements have been made around the house since the house opened in September. The interior has been painted.

We have two new sofas, covered in rose and gray le{ltherette, for the living room and chapter room. Portions of the game room have been pine paneled, and the sandwich counter has been refaced in plush leatherette. The outside of the house took on a new face during the Summer months.

This Fall Tau put on its most extensive Rush Week in years. The week consisted of three visiting days and four days of actual rushing during which we had three smokers and a party at Cabin-by-the-Lake, which was a highly successful climax to Tau's best Rush Week .

Tau's new spirit is extending also into our sports activity.

In our first football game, we beat the defending champions of the Fraternity Leagtie.

We are happy to see many of our alumni returning each week to see how we are getting along. "Jim" Hemphill, of nearby Burlington, "Ed" Moon, of Charlotte, "Gert" Boyette, of Scotland Neck, and "Billy" Henry, of Jacksonville, N. C., were around after the State-Carolina football game. Brothers who visited us during the week end of the Wake Forest game were Ray Lane, of Marion, "Jim" McConnell, now working in Winston-Salem, Harold Saunders, of Laurinburg, and John Ross, of Greensboro.

Rush ee names were grven 1 committees, and then the committees arranged for tra?sP~~· 1 tation of the rushee to and from the house, signing n ·r, meals, and entertainment.

Practlell eliminated was this " ... my name is . . ." Shake hands · "Nice to meet you, be seeing you" type of judgment u~ which about 10 per cent always relied to iudge future broth~ ·.

The first floor bas bad a face lifting. The living room bas been refinished with dark green walls, set off by whitetrimmed woodwork and an ivory-toned ceiling. This presents a beautiful background for our black enameled radio and the pictures on the walls. The white mantel above our brick fireplace is a fitting stage for the members' mugs and the house trophies, which stand out against the green walls.

We purchased a plastic-covered daveno and chair this Fall, and this set really compliments the color scheme of the living room . New indirect lighting fixtures on the ceiling have replaced the old brass chandeliers. All of this combined helps to make our living room one of the most impressive of any of the fraternity houses on campus.

Basement Serves Many Purposes The basement bas been cleaned out, and the chapter room completed. Once again Alpha Omega will be able to bold formal meetings. This fact alone has contributed greatly to the higher morale of the members.

One comer of the basement bas been transformed into a ping pong lounge. The old furniture which was replaced in the living room was moved to this lounge, and it provides an extremely comfortable spot for our leisure time.

The store room, which occupies one corner of the basement, bas been partially refilled at what we consider a great saving.

and general manager in 1938, and upon his father 's retirement this year, he succeeded to the top position.

President of Baltimore W&L Alumni Actively participating in such activities of public interest as the Red Cross, the Community Chest, and polio drives, he has served on a number of wartime and mobilization agencies in Baltimore, including the defense bond drives by the Treasury Department.

He has never completely allowed Washington and Lee or Pi Kappa Phi to escape him, and in recent years he has held the offices of secretary and president of the Washington and Lee Alumni Association of Baltimore. In June, 1950, Jim visited his alma mater during Rho's 30th Anniversary Celebration.

A number of years agci, he attempted some colonization efforts at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

He is currently aiding the fraternity to organize a Baltimore alumni chapter .

In addition to his other activities, Brother Milbourne is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Maryland Historical Society, the Hillendale Golf and Country Club, the Eastern Shore Society of Baltimore City, and the Fox Island Gunning Club. Still a bachelor, Milbourne states he has "never been able to get the right time, the right place, and the right girl to coincide."

Remarking that while the physical setting at Rho had changed a great deal over the years, Jim added that life seemed to be the same in Lexington and that the problems which fraternities face today are basically the same ones that he and five other enthusiastic adventurers faced in 1919 and 1920.

Many Attractions Await Visitors to Virginia's Historic Garden Week Members of Pi Kappa Phi who visit Virginia during Historic Garden Week, April 26-May 3, will have an opportunity to visit the fraternity's National Headquarters in Richmond as well as Virginia's two Pi Kappa Phi chapters, Xi at Roanoke College, Salem and Rho at Washington and Lee, Lexington. ' At Washington and Lee may be seen the memorial garden at the Lee Chapel, a garden restored by the Garden Club of Virginia. Entombed in the chapel are the remains of General Robert E. Lee and his family .

Behind the pulpit in the chapel is the famous recumbent statue of Lee, by Valentine. It will be recalled that after his return to civilian life at the end of the War Between the States General Lee was called to the presidency of Washington College, the institution whose name was changed later to Washington and Lee University, to include honor for the Confederate hero.

Scores of other places are open to visitors during the week.

Persons who would like additional information may write to Historic Garden Week, Room 3, Mezzanine ' Jefferson Hotel, Richmond 19, Va.

One of the new additions on Florida Southern's campus was the beginning of ROTC in which such prominent Pi Kapps as Captains "Bob" Tison and "Jim" Noble an'.l Lt. Noel C. J ohna will lead the school in military science.

Our committee on the Kampus Kapers is composed of "Bill" Fraser, "Russ" Pellitier, Bob Tison, "Joe" Campbell, and "Dave" Wallam. The Kapers is a show at Florida Southern in which nine fraternities and five sororities compete for awards. The 'Pi Kapps have been lauded throughout the campus for sponsoring this most unique show.

We are in a period of progress and growth in our "garden of Eden" where brothers "Ed" Judson, Bob Tison, and Howard Kidder planted trees, shrubs, and flowers t\lis summer. Our only cry now is for 28 "Eves."
