I

on served us well

Friday, june 5, 1998,3:29 p.m.

For the final time, I locked the doors of the Administrative Office.

The last moving truck had pulled away two days earlier, but I returned to take one last opportunity to walk through those halls-this time in private.

Built in 1974, it represented a significant step in the evolution of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity: to design and build its own headquarters building.

I remember the first time I saw the Administrative Office, as a student in 1978. I was driving through Charlotte, N.C., heading to Pi Kapp College, which was then held at Roanoke College in Salem, Va. We missed the turn down that gravel road (as thousands have done over the years) and thought to ourselves that it can't be down there-but it was.

The building originally housed a staff of only seven.

It more recently was bulging at the seams as it attempted to hold a full- and part-time staff of 31 . As I walked the darkened, empty halls one last time, I reflected on those 24 years and the thousands of men who came through those doors.

First, I walked into the Foundation Seminar Room and recalled the many chapter workshops and initiations which were held there. Later it was turned into the offices of Push America when they relocated to Charlotte, and had even housed an actual play unit.

I then moved to the Conference Room . I recalled the countless staff meetings, National Council meetings and, more importantly, all the good fraternity work that had taken place within that room . Ironically, it was probably the only existing conference room with the men's bathroom located in it, which had led to some interesting moments.

The entrance foyer was small but significant as it held the original table where the Founders met at 90 Broad Street on December 10, 1904. This elegant marble-topped table was donated by John Fogarty Reynolds (Charleston- Alpha) , the

founder's nephew, and will remain prominently displayed at the new office.

The wood on the exterior and interior of the building contributed greatly to the building's distinctiveness. It was donated by 1979 Mr. Pi Kappa Phi Emmett Dendy (AlabamaOmicron) . Some of the interior wood was removed from the old office and will be used to panel some of the new Headquarters.

My last stop was the executive director's office. This room was named the Omicron Room for the students and

alumni of the Omicron Chapter at the University of Alabama who contributed the most funds towards the building of the Headquarters. I said a brief prayer and reflected on the hundreds of past staff members and volunteers who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm to Pi Kappa Phi. As I stood there, I also thought about the man who designed the building, and who, next to our founders, had the most significant impact on Pi Kappa Phi-Durward Owen. It was his foresight and business sense that led to its purchase and construction.

Three office buildings will eventually be developed on the old site. Instead of bulldozing it to the ground, the old Headquarters will be used by the fire department for arson training, where it will be eventually burned to the ground.

Even at its death, its final act will be one of service and education.

To accomodate the growth of the Fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi has entered into a six-year lease in a modern office building in South Charlotte. The new space is almost double the square footage from the previous building, yet its overall cost per square foot was reduced by over 25 percent.

In making its decision to sell the existing site and entering leased space, the national leaders of Pi Kappa Phi believed that our alumni and student constituents would not be well served if immediate staff time, energy and expense were spent on building a new Headquarters. National President Nathan Hightower has appointed a long-term Headquarters Committee to evaluate and make recommendations regarding this issue in light of a dramatically changing society and fraternity movement. Perhaps in six years a new headquarters would be irrelevant due to the development of the "virtual office," or perhaps as we celebrate our Centennial the circumstances will be right for Pi Kappa Phi to take that next step and build a signature headquarters. Regardless, it is an exciting challenge for the Fraternity!

As I walked out the door and locked it for that last time, I could not help but be saddened and exhilarated at the same time. It stood for 24 years.

You served us well.

You will be missed.

Fraternally yours,

Inspiration is a funny thing.

It's unpredictable, a worst enemy, a best friend.

It has built cities in a blink and destroyed them as quickly.

It has allowed artists to create masterpieces under seemingly unbearable stress- even in the third grade.

My teacher made everyone go up to the chalk board and draw a picture," remembers illustrator Rob Wood (East Tennessee State - Beta Omega). MI went right up to that board, paused and started to draw a hummingbird - and everyone loved it!

"I really enjoyed getting that recognition."

Unbeknownst to the senders, those comments of praise gave Wood the confidence to stick with drawing. Soon, his school projects began to showcase his renderings, and after receiving an oilpaint set in high school, he began commissioning projects from his neighbors and parents' friends: houses, portraits, scenery, etc.

Then came his first big award.

"I was a senior in high school and Seventeen Magazine was offering an illustration contest," says Wood. ¡ so I decided to give it a shot."

That shot ended up a bull'seye for Wood. His illustrations for a short story not only were published, they earned him an honorable mention by the magazine.

Wood attended East Tennessee State University in 1964 on a working scholarship. His now awardwinning talents continued throughout college. Wood earned a number of awards for his work, which

From original concept to final book cover, Rob Wood's art develops through several stages.

Feature Story prompted professors and industry professionals to begin to talk about him.

But as his graduation year of 1968 approached, his name was spoken by a different group: the U.S. government.

"I graduated during the Vietnam War, and unfortunately, right at the end of the draft," recalls Wood. "As much as I didn't want it, I was enlisted into the Air Force."

Wood began on security duty at an Air Force Base in Austin, Texas.

After his training, he was stationed on an island off the Vietnamese coast.

"I sketched quite a bit while I was on the base, " remembers Wood. "I thought that if I did a lot of art, it might get me out of the police business."

Wood's service time came to an end in 1972. After his discharge, he married his girlfriend, Kassie, whom he met while stationed in Texas. So with a new wife, a civilian ranking and a college degree, Wood found himself without a job and with a four- year-old portfolio.

"The best thing I could do was to go to grad school," says Wood as-a-matter-of-factly.

So it was back to campus-but this time at the University of Georgia. Following two years of "expanding his portfolio," Wood received his master's degree in graphic design.

Travelling from job-to-job and city-to-city, Wood landed a position with graphic design company called Stansbury Design in Greenbelt, Md. The company focused on more the businessoriented projects (like annual continued next page SUMMER 1998

reports, in-house brochures, etc.), but Wood enjoyed the variety in the projects enough to stay with the company long enough for his boss to change her life-and his.

"She (my boss) decided one night that she hated what she was doing, " remembers Wood. "So she quit."

For the artist, this was a shining opportunity. Along with fellow Stansbury employee Pat Ronsaville, Wood bought the company's supplies and moved it to Annapolis, Md., where there would be more business (near Washington D.C.). The company took another partner and began business with the name Wood Ronsaville Harlin Inc. Starting with straight graphic illustration, the company began to proliferate into magazine illustrations. Despite holding accounts with Sports Illustrated, Discover and Newsweek, the illustration industry started to downfall after magazines began to cut their budgets on artwork.

"In this business, just like any other business, there are ups and downs, " explains Wood. "Even now it's still like a yo-yo-you never know what's going to happen next."

Thanks to an "insignificant author," Wood and his partners decided to branch out into book covers. After creating one, a few more came up, then few more, then some more. All of the projects were small, but sufficed enough to support the loss of the magazine accounts.

Small, that was, until Wood got called on a Friday. "'Sure, right; I thought" recalls Wood.

"Stephen King-yeah, right!

"Having something that big, after going so long with so little, was really unbelievable."

But it turned out to be true. King and his publisher, Viking, were not content with their cover artist. With an impending deadline looming overhead, and having worked with him on another job, the Viking an director called Wood.

"They needed something quick, so I made a few sketches Sunday night, • says Wood.

"I faxed them the next morning, and they really liked it.• That book was King's 1990 best-seller

"Four Past Midnight," a turning point for the company according to Wood. He followed that cover with four additional King covers, and added additional authors such as Tom Clancy, Eugenia Price and Dale Brown. Some of Wood's other clients include: the National Geographic Society, the National Park Service, Putnam/ Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Crown, the National Air & Space Museum and Kid's Discover Magazine. His work also appears regularly in the Society of Illustrators Annual.

Among the professional awards Wood has won include: Communication Ans Magazine Washington An Directors Show, PIA and the American Illustration Annual.

Wood still lives in Annapolis, Md., with his wife and 17- year-old daughter Katie. He lives just off the Chesapeake Bay, where he often is inspired expresses his inspiration in another way-sailing.

His-identity?

He's a medical student.

No, really.

Brad Smith (Averett - Zeta Xi) is a biology major, and intends on going to

~~~~~~~~~~~

medical school so he eventually practice in can either psychology or neurology.

But tell that to Entertainment Weekly and U.S. Magazine, who both have positions waiting for Smith if he wants them. Instead of looking at his medical interests-including membership in the Averett Science Association and Averett Chemical Society--those magazines were looking at another interest of Smith's: The

Chanticleer.

"When I came on as a staff writer (Fall 1995), The Chanticleer was a rinky-dink newspaper that nobody would read, • remembers Smith. "[ had always loved that magazine-that cross between a newspaper and a magazine. " The Chanticleer is a free student newspaper that's published by Averett College, a private college in Danville, Va. Beginning as a staff writer, Smith saw aspects of the magazine that

could be changed, and eventually worked up to photographer, page editor, managing editor, business/graphic design editor and finally editorin-chief.

"It was a good idea for a newspaper," states Smith. "It just needed to listen to comments from the students, and get them more involved."

So, the masses spoke and Smith listened. He added a higher-grade paper, began using more spot color, introduced a four-color cover and debuted new sections such as the extremely popular Faces of Averett.

With the changes also came a dose following.

"Before, the papers would stay in the stacks around campus," notes Smith. "What we did was put more people, more quotes in, and now copies get picked up as soon as they are delivered."

For now, Smith is still planning on attending medical school.

Not just play un its Most Pi Kapps know Thomas Sayre (UNC-Chapel Hill -Kappa) as the originator of the therapeutic "play units" that formed the basis of Push America. What might not be known, however, is that Sayre's projects have brought enjoyment to people beyond the Fraternityand across the globe.

Sayre graduated summa cum laude from the University of North' Carolina- Chapel Hill in 1973, where received a double bachelor's degree in English and fine arts. He then traveled to Michigan, where he studied sculpture at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. "I didn't want to teach, and I didn't want to work on the side," says Sayre. "I enjoyed sculpting, and I just wanted to find a way of making it a living."

This motivation led Sayre to the Western Carolina Center in Morganton, N.C. The director there needed to create an outdoor playground that would be fully accessible to the center's disabled population. Since the state-funded facility had no funds allocated for "resident sculpture," Sayre designed outdoor playgrounds

under the title of "janitor."

The idea of nonthreatening play equipment for persons with disabilities eventually led Pi Kappa Phi and then Executive Director Durward Owen-who was, at the time, musing about the creation of a service projectto put their faith in Sayre. This led to birth of P.U.S.J-1. in 1977, and to a lifechanging concept for Sayre.

"These projects were designed as they related to the space around them ," explains Sayre. "The environments need to be non- threatening to the people using them, yet still challenging them spiritually, physically and intellectually."

This concept, derived from work with the play units, led to the development of a multidisciplinary design firm called Clearscapes.

Cofounded with architect Steve Schuster in 1980, Sayre's idea was to combine the work of both a sculpture and architect-molding imagination with detail-to create a company that could find creative solutions to design challenges.

The idea worked, and the company took off.

"Art is a process," explains Sayre. "It is using all your energy available-intelligence, senses and the body-to respond to the task of creating something."

One such project (and one of Sayre's favorites) was designed for the New Children's Museum in Raleigh, N.C. "The biggest single element was a large, black box," muses Sayre. "So what do you clad it with? Do you make it with stucco? Do you paint murals on it? If you paint mural, what do paint?"

After tossing ideas back and forth, the answer was finally decided: marbles. To be exact, 1.1 million of them . Each individual marble was a single pixel that, when grouped with the rest of the marbles, formed a picture of the earth taken

by NASA. "It was a great solution because it spoke to the mission of the museum," says Sayre. "It showed that we do live in a larger world." continued page 28

"Art is a process. It is using all you energy availableintelligence, senses and the body-to respond to the task of creating something."

Comic book hero

Sayre currently resides in Raleigh, N.C., with his wife and their two masterpieces: 7-yearold Wilson and 1-year-old Kalayan.

Kaplowee!

Zappp!

Zoooommm!

The world of comic books laid the groundwork for a whole new field of artwork. It also launched Fernando Mico (George Mason Zeta Epsilon) into a graphic arts career.

Mico graduated in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and political science. Not wanting to jump right into the work force, he packed his Ford Escort and spent four days driving across the country-from Virginia to California-to settle in Los Angeles, Calif.

That following August, however, Mico had his interest hooked while looking through the Los Angeles Times classified section: Wanted, color artist, Marvel Comics.

"It was a dream job," remembers Mico.

"The office was exactly like what you'd expect a comic book office to be-a computer, lots of toys, a very casual country club.

"I had to dress down from college," adds Mico.

The young artist did the color art for such prominent characters as Spiderman, Superman and Wolverine.

Mico's dream job, however, came to an end in 1995 when he was laid off because of cuts in the industry, and Marvel Comics moved their coloring department overseas.

Mico moved back to Virginia and found work with an ad agency. Some of his accounts included artwork for computer games and straight-to-video movies.

Layoffs, again, plagued Mico, and that's when he decided to take the future of his career in his own hands. He began his own company, The Learning Curve, which develops educational software.

"Every kid draws," explains Mico. "Then there is a certain age where they either keep drawing or stop drawing- I just kept drawing."

Mico currently lives in Virginia, where he is waiting for the ascension of his "Learning Curve."

It's very hard to make it as an artist. You can't just be a painter or just be a sculpture-you need to do a little bit of everything.

A little bit of everything

"As an artist-creator, I create a world for myself, away in the recesses of my mind, no matter how illusory or dreamlike, and make it concrete," writes Graham Carson (!UP- Zeta Iota) in his own Artist's Statement. "But I base this world on all that has affected me and all that has molded the mind that I possess. I use my art to express these feelings, these frustrations, these hates and desires."

A teacher at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, Carson has dabbled in a little bit of everything-from making furniture to jewelry to public artwork.

"It's very hard to make it as an artist," explains Carson. "You can't just be a painter or just a sculpture-you need to do a little bit of everything."

Carson received his bachelor's degree in metal smithing, with a minor in furniture design.

He then went to the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York and received his master's degree, also in metal smithing.

Using techniques that date back to the Middle Ages, Carson's favorite medium to work with is copper, which was the main ingredient in his 12-foot high, 3-foot wide sculpture for the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Rochester, N.Y. "They didn't want something tactile, but something that stood more as a symbol," says Carson. "This was the first time that I was creating something to be enjoyed by people who couldn't see it."

Carson built the entire structure in his studio, section by section, and assembled it with the help of some association members.
