HOnce Upon a Line" By the Editor-in-Chief

1\. NEW TRADITION has developed in recent months tha and we wish to mention it in this column rather be n by way of a formal article since more warmth can

expressed here.

It · hoo/ only natural for the newest chapter in the brother-IVas to. be nicknamed "the BABY Chapter." And so it (E fitttng to bestow teasingly such a title on Beta Pi ~faastern ~ichigan College) in Ypsilanti, Mich., last Ia/ As t1me passed by, plans developed for the instal­(do\ of a sti ll newer chapter which was to be Beta Rho qu·:r son College) at Potsdam, N. Y. Remembering te/ ~ Well the fun that can be had in teasing a new chap­pa' It Was decided by the men of Beta Pi that they would an~ .the BABY title on personally. So plans were made fr 1n November two brothers (and their wives) drove

00°rn Michigan to Potsdam, N. Y. (which is further

berth than one thinks the state of New York goes) to on hand. Wow, what a trip !

pr This title presentation, and the interest it represented , th oved to be the climax of the installation . And soon an~ men of Beta Rho at Potsdam started asking when th BWhere the next installation was to be so that they, p/ ABIES, could carry on with the new tradition and ca rs?nal!y welcome in the next new group. Well , one to~ ll~agine the reaction when they were told that it was

e 1n Illinois!

(NAs plans were developing in March for Beta Sigma Ill Orthern Illinois University) in DeKalb, Ill. , com­beents Were made as to whether or n.ot someone would ofii ~resent from Beta Rho to procla1m the new group st Clally as BABY. After all, it's a long way from up­i/te New York to Northwestern Illinois! But, believe lv or not, word arrived that a representative was on his ba~ BY AIRPLANE from Potsdam to welcome the Ill Y chapter and tease them well. Not to be outdone, the a! en of Beta Pi (the group that started the whole thing) 'iV so sent two cars from their location near Detroit all the tr:y to DeKalb, Ill. Alpha Theta (Michigan State) also reVeled in force, and we naturally had good regional thprfsentation, with Alpha Phi (Illinois Tech) having Cee /rgest single delegation. And so Beta Rho had suc­Yoss ully carried their title of BABY Chapter to the of ttng~st member of the roll call. It was again the climax

a b1g week end.

'iVhAs soon as things quieted down, someone soon asked ra er.e the next chapter might be located. Comments,

'iV ng1ng from "Oh my gosh" to "Gee, what a nice trip," chere overheard when it was announced that the next

apter might happen to be in GEORGIA.

The Convention Train on our cover is just about ready to pull out. Only a few months are left for you to make plans to attend. The Atlanta Committee is really going all out to make this a good one. There are some of you who have not been to a convention lately- make plans NOW for your Fraternity will need your counsel and interest.

HELP, HELP, and another HELP! We need your as­sistance to do something worthwhile. We do not seek much of your valuable time nor do we wish to divert your interest fro~ your family . But there is something you can do occasionally, or even frequently if you choose to be so thoughtful, that will go far in serving a useful and des!rable purpose: 1~ on' t yoN. write a l eiter of con­gralflfallOilS or apprectafi017 when 11 seems deserving? If you don't feel that you have the time to devote to the Fraternity, it will take very little time to let others know that their work is not going unnoticed . The moral value of finding one's efforts being appreciated is priced be­yond the reach of ~angible t~ing~ . Undergraduate chap­ters have been bl!llt, studymg mcreased, conduct im­proved by someone outside bothering to say "you're do­ing fin e."

Oh, how man~ projects have ~allen short of their goal because those domg the work d1d not receive that little added boost when needed-when the past progress has been lost in present disappointments and problems. So few take time to say, "Congratulations," or "You're do~ng fine" or. "keep up the -?o~.d work" or even "keep trymg for you re bound to wm. All anyone wants is a little recognition for effort made.

This brings to mind an incident of a few years back when a chapter finally got around to putting out a news­paper. It wasn't much, and when one looked at it they had to look hard to see anything good to say about the new publication. Well, some kind soul finally wrote and congratulated the group on the new milestone in the chapter's history of starting a newspaper-and this person went on further to remark that it was printed on " A GOOD GRADE OF PAPER." Well , you'd of thought they had won a publication award by the pride that Jetter created. Finding nothing better to say than the fact that good paper was used still served the desired purpose. With that new found pride and determination the chapter tried harder (and better) the next time and it is now taken for granted by the present members that this particu lar chapter's newspaper is very old, and very good and always has been ... and its ach1al existence was assured by one person taking just enough time to say, ''I've noticed your effort."

I had no idea that it had been 38 years since I sever eld Georgia Tech until one of our brothers ran into me \\lonl Weeks ago and we got to talking old times. We had a \\le h edfu l time together, talking about the days and experiences

t lia at Tech and our Iota Chapter. the ~a beth, D el (Mrs. Havis) and I speak ever so often of Pi I! easure we had visiting you and the Nationa l Office of sa"' appa Phi back in 1952. So much has developed since we ''111y Ypu l ~st. We fee l that your story about our organization, Star amlly," Inc., which you wrote and published in The Olde/"nd LAmp is sti ll helping to bring us in contact with the thern ~raternity brothers and their families because many of In M aFter .retirement wou ld l ike to close their homes and live of yJ am!ly approved Homes. Our No. 1 Project for a number of th aru n?w has been to establish these homes in any section Propee h ntted States to help meet this growing need for more help ; omes for aging people. The homes we approve and the u 0 establish are not like homes for aged, rest homes, and instit s~a l conva lescent homes, for most of them are more like Priva~ 'Onal homes, whi le our approved homes are more like Peo;1 e hornes, never crowded, no mixing of chronica lly ill liomee (they are directed to My Family approved Nursing nursi s) and the aged w ho do not need medical and constant aged ng care. Also, as a public service agency, we direct the those tof Pr.oper homes. These applicants are screened so that

0 stmilar age, education, faith, habits, and abi lity to

pay their own room and board can be directed properly and where they can be grouped so they can become RELATED which is just as important as their having the best of food' housing, and medical care, for these relationships help to re: lieve their loneliness, and they become happy and useful and fee l needed.

We are pro~d to incl~de in our membership now so many of the leaders tn the natiOn who have spent their lives in the interests of the aged. Among them are Mrs. Geneva Mathiasen Executive Secretary, Nationa l C~mmittee on Aging, New York: N . Y.; Mr. Clark T tbb1tts, AsSIStant Chairman editor Agi11g Speci~ l Staff .on Agi~g, Washing~on, D. C., ~nd M;. Henry Hennchs, Ed1tor-Publ1 sher, Srmshme Magazine, Litchfield Ill. They have been and sti ll are publishing the My Family Home Plan so these homes can be established all over the nation to help meet this growing need. We would l ike so much to have you publish the plan and to let our brothers know we will be happy to help place any elderly person in a proper home. All they have to do is contact us, there is no charge or obligation as you know, for any of our services. Sincerely, '

BROTHER SOLVIG REPORTS RESULTS 255 - 77th Street Brooklytl 9, N. Y.

D ear Editot·: This morning I returned to my office from a trip to the Upstate section of our state, and before noon I had re­ceived four telephone calls, three from Pi Kapps and the other from the father of a Pi Kapp who had once worked with me in the phone company but who re~ently retired. They all were most compl1mentary about a story m the February issue of The Star and LAmp.

As I had not seen the issue, I cou ld hardly wait until I reached home this evening. Doris and I are most grateful for the story .. We thank all of you ~or your kind thoughts. Three of the P1 Kapps who talked With me are planning to come to our festival this Summer. You can take a bow for any increase in attendance.

Please accept our deep appreciat ion for the g rand tribute you paid D oris and me, and our daughters. Our very best w ishes to you and all on the staff at our National Office. Frater­nally yours,

PIRATES TAJ(E TAMPA-PI J(APPS T AJ(E PIRATES! ! !

By NICK NICHOLS, Historian, Beta Lambda

}T was early Monday, February 10, 1958, when two Pi Kapps, who had worked weari ly the night before to

ready their boat for the Gasparilla Invasion, smuggled one of themselves aboard the Jose Gaspar. The boat they worked on was their "getaway boat." This was not the finale because as the big ship entered the Hillsborough River Dave Camper, from the crows nest, hoisted the Pi Kapp~ Phi Flag before the eyes of thousands of people who lmed the banks to watch the famous Pirate invasion of the city of Tampa, Florida.

The plans for hoisting the Pi Kapp Flag were not drawn up over night, but were laid a month ahead of time by the Fraternity who chose Brother Camper and Brother Lee Vance, along with Pledge Dave Burkhart, to perform the feat. Brother Vance had his boat in the water before daybreak and stood gua rd while Brother Camper mingled with the pirates before mounting the

Out of the Past By BROTHER WADE S. BOLT, Sigma, University of South Carolina

Editor, The Star and lamp

1915-1920

fT is my firm conviction that forty years ago Pi Kappa Phi was very high in percentage of mem­

bership in the armed forces of these United States. Those of the old age bracket, who did not par­ticipate in actual combat and training, or other military effort, were not found wanting in the homeland projects supporting our nation in the conflict.

My ship put in to Charleston harbor for a brief stay. Our shore leaves were abbreviated, but as op­portunities were afforded, I made several attempts to contact Brothers Fogarty, Kroeg, and Mixson by phone- never with success. My on ly contacts were with Brother Thomas Lipscomb (Sigma) and Brother Peecksen (Alpha). The latter brother met me and accompanied me to the College of Charles­ton campus, which thrilled me with the assurance of having trod the same paths of our founding brothers.

Before my assignment to the Atlantic Fleet, it was my privilege to be attached to the Great Lakes Naval Band (Sousa's Pride). We toured many of the large cities of the Middle West and the East, and freguent opportunities were afforded me to attempt contact with my brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, through addresses gleaned from my Star and Lamp files. The results were disheartening. Almost al­.ways the information revealed that the object of my guest was elsewhere-in the service of his coun­try.

Yet, as these men went forth to serve, another generation was arriving at the threshold of Pi Kap­pa Phi. To them may be accred ited the rapid ex­pansion from 1919 to 1925.

In search for material for this column, many letters have been written. A few have been returned as undeliverable. Of the fine replies received, all

mast. The boat was a precaution in case the pirates did not appreciate a Fraternity joke and would make the culprit walk the plank. In the picture on the inside front cover, the Pi Kapp Flag is shown flying in all its glory off the first mast (circled) and Brother Camper dressed in pirate garb is seen directly above.

PI KAPP'S MOTHER HEADS SORORITY The Star and Lamp learned recently that the mother of

Brother David W. Nash, Epsilon '57, Davidson, is Na­tional President of Alpha Xi Delta Sorority. She was in­stalled during the sorority'.s convention last Summer.

of which will be given eventual recognttJOn, one gains distinctive proof of the changing locations (or mailing addresses) of our Fraternity members in the armed forces. I refer to the travel log of our distinguished Brother Roy Jackson Heffner (Gam­ma), the then Supreme Deputy Archon (office no longer exists-National Treasurer serves as Vice­President). In April, 1917, Brother Heffner was with the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York, working on submarine detectors. June of that year found him in Berkeley, Calif., as an instructor in Military Aeronautics. Three months later he was commiss ioned First Lieutenant in Signal Corps Avi­ation. By June of 1918 he was in Washington, D. C., in charge of the training section of Military Aeronautics. Four months later he was a Captain in the Air Service, assigned to the Radio Officers' School at Columbia University, New York. In Jan­uary of 1919 he had arrived in San Diego, Calif., as Radio Officer at Rockwell Field, following a stint of one month as an Air Service Officer in the Artillery Observation School at Fort Sill, Okla. In May, 1919, he was again in Washington, D. C., in charge of radio training for the Air Service. Here he was commissioned a Major (Reserve Force) and allowed to resign from active duty and return to his alma mater as a member of the faculty, Uni­versity of California.

In face of these facts, is it not astounding that a Fraternity just turned twelve years of age, plunged into the chaos of world conflict, should have re­assembled its scattered assets, material and human, and experienced a well-attended and constructive National Convention in December, 1919, in Char­lotte, N. C.? At that Convention, Brother Heff­ner was elected Supreme Archon.

Marvel well you may, my Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi in 1958.

[ ~0, to ~e successful race for Congress waged by Mr. Pres-

d 1r Pr~ct 1946 climaxed a career that carried him from the k. jr hi 1c.e of law in Statesboro, Ga., where he hung out

Jttj te: sh~ngle after his graduation in 1930, through two r Ca ms In the Georgia legislature, a distinguished military 5oo1 re oO~ Of ser, and election to the post of Judge of the City Court }IF tatesboro.

From Judge to Congressman

ele~~ never served as Judge. Between the time of his ov tion as Judge and the date he was scheduled to take

er the office, Mr. Preston was elected to Congress. Of

,~ ~" 'r , 1958

course, he resigned the judicial office to take h is seat in the National Congress.

In college, Mr. Preston was an outstanding student leader. Perhaps he is best remembered as leader of the Georgia G lee Club and President of that popular organ­ization during its heyday. During his college days, he won the friendship of hundreds of his fellow students, many of whom have remained steadfast friends and sup­porters as he has advanced in the world of politics. His uncanny memory for names and faces enables him to greet cordially and by name friends of col lege days whom he has not seen, literally, in decades.

Mr. Preston's attainments while an undergradute were rf:'cognized by his election to the University's Gridiron Club which is one of the highest honors that may be be­stowed upon a student.

Mr. Preston married Myrtice Robinson in 1934. This union w::~s blessed by two daughters, Ann, who is a junior at Florida State University, and Kay, who is a student at Statesboro High School.

He Volunteered and Served in Army

Mr. Preston volunteered as a Private in the Army in September, 1942. In successive steps he was advanced to the rank of Captain . His mi litary service included the command of Battery "A" of the 776th A. -A. A ., A. W., Battalion in the European Theatre of Operations .

During h is tenure in Congress, many honors have come to Prince Preston . On two occasions he was selected by Presidential appointment to serve as a Congressional ob­server at meetings of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organizations, having been se­lected by President Truman for this assignment at the Paris meeting, and by President Eisenhower to attend the assembly at Montevideo in 1954.

Has Traveled around World

On special assignments for the Appropriations Com­mittee, Mr. Preston has traveled around the world on more than one occasion . In November, 1956, the Read­ers' Digest cited the record of a subcommittee headed by Mr. Preston, the work of which in relation to real estate holdings of the American Government abroad resulted in the savings of millions of dollars for the tax­payers.

He heads the Appropriations Subcommittee for the D epartment of Commerce and Related agencies. This means that bills appropriating funds for the Department of Commerce, including Civil Aeronautics Administra­tion, Census, Bureau of Public Roads, Bureau of Stand­ards and other divisions of the D epartment must be approved by Mr. Preston's Subcommittee. In addition, Mr. Preston passes on the budget requests for the Pan­ama Canal, St. Lawrence Seaway, and other agencies of vital importance to the entire nation.

Reputation as Prudent Legislator

The clo-e scrutiny to which Mr. Preston subjects each item for funds requested of his Subcommittee has gained him a reputation as a prudent legislator whose careful examination of Committee witnesses often saves the tax­payers millions of dollars.

Besides his assignment as Chairman of the Department of Commerce Subcommittee, the Georgia Law School

We have learned that while Brother Steward was Trav­eling Counselor he was hospitalized for six weeks after his first District Training School. At that time he was working under the then Executive Secretary, Brother W. Bernard Jones, Jr. Time did not permit checking with Brother Jones to learn whether or not the strenuous pace of the school caused this illness.

After Brother Steward 's year with the National Office, Brother Steward entered the retail business field with the J. C. Penney Comp.any in 1950. When the opportunity came to enter professiOnal personnel work, he resigned to become affii l iated with the State of Oregon Civil Serv­ice Commission as a job analyst, a position he now holds. The State of Oregon has approximately 17,000 clas~ified employees. A staff of four ted111icians make the job studies for rhese positions. Along with what they call individual day-to-day job studies, they conduct studies by job groups. At the present time, Brother Steward is en­gaged in a restructuring of all Biology positions for the departments of Fish and Game.

~~The Chapter That Sings Together 0 0 o "

THESE two chapters have found one of the "secrets to success" that so many seek ·in vain. Singing can do somethin~ nothing else can do to a group. We have all seen it work its spell. Take some strangers, add a song, and you ha~.

friends. The barriers are broken and all join together. Nothing else can fill the void singing overcomes. The very c operation and participation that singing inspires is the epitome of a good group. There is a saying that "a singing groUP is a good group." This Fraternity has few exceptions.

Omega Makes Recordin~· By BROTHER TOM CROWE, Historian

Omega, Purdue University

Inspired by our University Sing win last Spring, we have finaily succeeded in a dream of many of the brothers of Omega; namely, a recording of our favorite music, with the entire chapter included. The record is a 10-inch long-play, custom pressed by RCA Victor. The record features such well-known music as "There Is Nothing Like a Dame" from "South Pacific," "The Whiffenpoof Song," "Back Home Again in Indiana," and the Sing Winner, "Good Night Ladies." Side Two presents a selection of fraternity music and the Purdue Hymn. The record is available at $3.98 a copy and in­cludes finished record jacket. To the best of our knowl­edge, Omega is the first chapter on Purdue's campus to make such a recording.

Singing has become more to Omega in recent years than just a pastime. It has become an integral part of our social life on the campus, and is partially responsible for the present high standing of the house on campus. We have integrated our singing with the annual Goldig­gers Contest the past two years and have come up with first one year and second the next. Other singing events include serenades, trade party entertainment, women's rush entertainment, and numerous informal occasions. Perhaps most of all it has been real fun and instrumental in building a unified "spirit" which, as you know, is the life blood of any good fraternity.

spent a year's probationary period, Kappa Phi became a colony of Pi Kappa Phi January 15 , 1957.

As a colony of Pi Kappa Phi , the local fraterni ty en­tered Winter Carnival in January, 1957, winning the Most Audience Appeal Award and placing three repre­sentatives in the Winter Carnival Court.

In the Spring Rush, 28 men were pledged to Pi K ap­pa Phi Colony .

The organization won the Intramural Basketball Championship and placed second in Stunt Night in March, 1957.

In April, the first annual Rose Ball of Pi Kappa Phi was held at the Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel in Chicago.

The Fraternity entered May Fete of 1957 and won the Intramural Baseball and Softball championships and the highly competitive Tug of War Contest.

In the Fall of 1957, Pi Kappa Phi Colony won first place in the Homecoming Float Parade, probably the biggest event on Northern's campus, as well as having their candidate win the title of "Homecoming Queen." In the Fall Rush, ten pledges were gained.

In January an informal dance was held at Rockford, and "The Most Beautiful" prize was captured in Winter Carnival.

The organization was finally recognized by the Student Senate as a permanent organization and allowed to peti­tion the Pi Kappa Phi National to become a chapter.

As Beta Sigma Chapter, our organization gained the largest pledge class on campus, with 21 pledges. In ad­dition, we have already won the Intramural Volleybal! Championship, and on, and on, and on, from Beta Sigma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity.

Million Dollar Purchase They expect also to run some sheep "in the best in: terests of good range management," one of the brotheD explained.

From the great West country has come a story about a million-doll ar ranch purchase made by two brothers, one of whom is an Alpha Zeta alumnus.

Last Summer, George Christensen, Alpha Zeta '4 0, Oregon State College, and hi s brother, Brune], owners of the HC Cattl e Company of Likely, Cali f., paid more than a million dollars for the lush Bare Ranch in Surprise Valley and N evada.

"The original Christensen holdings sprawl throug; southern Modoc and northern Lassen counties," the stD_; continued . "The two ranches join together at Redrock

1

Lassen County.

"The thing we like best about our new set up," Brt'~.:~ Christensen said, following the closure of the deal, .. that our present ran.ch is overbalanced with Winter cat~ ing capacity and the Bare Ranch is overbalanced wtel Summer carrying capacity. Together they should balan out into an ideal set up."

"The sa le will move the Christensen Brothers' holdings into the position of one of the largest cattl e ranches of the Pacifi c Coast states," so stated a newspaper story pub­lished when the purchase was announced. "Their com­bined holdings will total more than 500,000 acres of range land and deeded property and wil l support up­wards to 10,000 head of cattle. They sa id they expected to run at least 8,500 head."

ALPHA CHAPTER

From H is torian Britton E. Taylor of ALPHA we have re­ceived word that "all of the brothers came through the semester exams with no casualties."

This Spring, ALPHA initiated Tommy Larr, Walter Worsham, Jimmy Swain, and Warren Almond .

P lans are being made for the Mr. College of Charleston Contest, sponsored by ALPHA. The new ly chosen "Mr. Colle!?e of Charleston" wi ll reign for one school year. Pl ~ns are. m progress a lso for the Rose Ball May 22. An a lumnt receptiOn is schedu led to precede the ball.

BETA CHAPTER

"BETA Chapter has had, up to this point, on.~ of the. most successful years since the Fra ternity was founded, accordtng ~o O 'Neil Crocker of BETA. "Great str ides have been made m rushing and in one of the most important phases of Fraterntty life: individual parti cipat ion. .

"We started the yea r by inviting many of the n?n-fraterntty men to the Fraternity suite during the World Sen es Baseball games. In order to get the non-fra ternity men interes~ed in the Fraternity we had 12 Fnday and Saturday ntght parties. T~ese were rather informal dances attended mostly by Clmton g trl s. These parties avai led a ll of our men the opportunity to become acquai nted with the freshmen in whom we were mterested. This is a practice that has proved very benefic ta l to BET A Chapter under the unusual rush conditions of Presbytenan College."

BETA hns purchased a Hi Fidelity set and a Television set. In intramura ls, BETA placed third in footba ll t!1!s year, s.ec­

ond in the rifle match, and first in the skit competttton. Dunng the past two seasons, BETA los t only one out of the last 19 games. They were second in softball last yea r, and at press time the chapter was looki ng forward to another successful season this yea r.

The BETA pledges have begun projects which include a large card tab le for the sui te, a new and more elaborate stgn to go over the door, and end tab les to be used as ash-tray ho lders.

1958

"After the Christmas ho lidays, we initiated four men: G len Allen, Farmville, N. C.; Dann Cross, Waynesvi ll e, N. C.; Rod Dixon, Statesville, N. C., and Garland Pierce, Southern Pines N. C. Rod Dixon's brother, Dick, is an a lumnus of TAU Chapter. At the beginning of this semester, we initiated Jim Johnson of Durham, N. C. Jim, incidentally, has a 3.7 average for his first semester at State.

"Aided by Traveling Counselor Jack Campbell, we held a successful rush _week to sta.rt the s~mester. It was culminated by a very fine Cabm Party, Wtth a swmging combo. The results of that party were seven new pledges.

"TAU sponsors the Annual I nter-Fraternity Sing here on the campus. This year, we are expecting another tine event. We have possible radio and TV dates lined up for the entries and a possible spot on 'Monitor' for the winner. The date is April 20, and our chairman, Brad Pennell , is really working hard to make this sing the best ever."

PSI CHA PTE R

PSI's first party of the Spring Social Season was held February 22 to welcome the new pledge class of 18 freshmen into the Fraternity. It was quite a success, thanks mainly to the "lively activities of the new pledges," Historian Alan J. Rude revealed.

As PSI's report was being prepared, the chapter was looking forward to the IFC Week End Party March 15, the first under the University's new social code. Plans have been made to in­clude a Prohibition Costume Party and a p ledge forma l.

PSI pledged 18 men at the end of the Spring Rush eason. The new men are acttve on "The Hill" in athletics, including cre~v~ baseba ll , gymnasttcs, and rille, and also in other campus aCtJVJtteS.

Tn January the chapter presented a skit, " To Divulge the Actual," to an "admiring" audience of Cornellians. It was pri ­marily a satire on that "interesting institution," the Co-ed. The skit was a pseudo panel show in which the panel members tried to guess the identity of the real "Miss Cornelia Co-ed. " The humor of the skit was more visual than verbal, we are to ld.

OMEGA CHAPTER

We are indebted to Tom Crowe, OMEGA'S Historian, for the fo llowing sketches of Gene Selawski and Rick Baugher:

"Gene Selawski and Rick Baugher are new members of Gim­let Club, an activities honorary for outstanding Greek upper­classmen.

"Gene was voted 'Most Improved Player' on Purdue's Varsity Football Squad by his teammates and the staff . In addi­tion, Gene's many varied talents brought him Supporting Actor of the Year Award for his role in 'The D esperate Hours· Purdue P layshop's opening play last year. He was a lso Ch'i Omega's candidate for the Purdue UMOC Contest this year.

23

In addition, he is presently Archon of Omega and maintains a grade index that places him high in the top quarter of his class scholastically.

"Rick is the baritone segment of what Varsity Glee Club Di­rector, AI Stewart, calls 'The finest barbershop quartet in the country.' 'The Barbershoppers' are a specialty act of the Varsity Glee Club. Rick is also a Purdusir, Glee Club honorary, and is songleader at OMEGA."

OMEGA took second place in the annual Homecoming Sign Contest last Fall , with a theme suggested by ALPHA OMI­CRON at Iowa State. Historian Crowe sends ALPHA OMICRON this message: "Many thanks for the rewarding idea-it was much appreciated."

Spring p ledging at Purdue brought OMEGA 23 pledges from about 10 states. Historian Crowe pointed out that "in the midst of the present highly competitive rush, this achieve­ment can be attributed to one thing, cooperation by each and every member of the house, with much of the credit going to the ab le organizer, Rush Chairman Dan Seeley."

ALPHA EPSILON CHAPTER

Historian Richard E. Glavin of ALPHA EPSILON reported that the chapter started their second semester social life with a party, band and all , and that "everyone" from all over campus crowded into their house.

The pledges started by electing Ben Jelse~a, Fort Lauder­dale President and attractive, personable M1ssy Adcock, St. Pete~sburg, their sweetheart. . .

Initiates March 5 were C1r l Fanna, Fort P1erce, Fla.; Ron Caciatorie, Tampa, Fla.; Skip Blum, Fort Pierce; Bob South­well , Jacksonville. Fla., and Pete Melo, Miami , Fla.

ALPHA EPSILON now boasts of a new chapter room furni­ture set of ratan , new linoleum floors , and a rebuilt patio.

As Historian Glavin was preparing his report, plans were being made for the Rose Ball April 25 and 26 at the Coquina Hotel , Ormond Beach. The pledges were planning, as a proj­ect, new Pi Kappa Phi letters made of aluminum, these to be backed by silhouette lights.

BETA ETA CHAPTER

The following excellent report was submitted by Historian Philip Campbell of BETA ETA:

"BETA ETA'S annual Christmas party for underprivileged chi ld ren was a tremendous success this year. The sight of 25 faces wrea thed in smi les and buck-toothed grins whi le Brother Warren Bryson, Miami, as Santa, passed out gifts was certain ly heartwarming to the Chapter and ou r dates.

"Near the end of the Fa ll Semester, a dinner was held at the Tallahassee Dining Club in honor of graduating and de­parting brothers. This is the first Graduation Dinner we have ever held , and they wi ll be a semesterly occurrence in the future.

"Graduating brothers were J ohn Brown, Boca Raton, F la., who is now attending Graduate School here at Florida State University, and John Garrett, Columbus, Ga., _now High School Sports Editor for the Atlm1ta Joumal. D epartong brothers were D onald Bowlin, Panama City, Fla., now Art D irector of a printing firm in Panama City, and Wes!ey ~canning, also of Panama City, who transferred to the Engoneenng School at the University of Florida. We were sorry to lose these line men.

"Awards presented at the dinner were the Thomas D. Bailey Trophy for Scholarship, which went to Jim Ralston, Tampa, Fla., wi th a 3.8 average last Spring semester. Robert Hutchins, Washington, D . C., was elected to the Hall of Fame for the Fall semester of 1957.

"With the beginning of the Spring semester, we began a rush program planned by Brother George Fordham, St. Peters­burg, Fla . We hope to gain at least 15 new p ledges with the

25

program, which calls for personal contacts as we ll as written invitations.

"Three new pledges who have joined us this semester are John Lamb, Wewahitchka, Fla.; Jim Lloyd, Camp Hill , Penna. , and George Yarbourough, Sarasota, Fla.

"Three neophytes have been initiated into Pi Kappa Phi: Pete H eagerty, Toronto, Canada; Robert Howes, Boston, Mass., and Dave Morse, Jacksonville, Fla.

"The Rose Ba ll W eek End was held February 14-U). The night of the 14th we held a party in the mansion with a theme of 'Cupid in Fantasy Land .' Music was provided by the Fall semes ter Pledge Class Proj ect, a fine Hi-Fi Set. The Rose Ball Forma l was held in the Tallahassee Woman's Club, with musica l notes by the Commodores. The Queen , Barbara Homer, Winter Haven, F la., and her Court, were five of the better looking heavenly bodies in the sea of stars covering the front of the club. Sunday morning we went en masse to Trinity Methodist Church, where we were recogni zed pub licly by Dr. James, the minister. Following the service, we moved to the mansion, where a banquet of 'fine sty le and chow' was served.

"Over the week end, we played host to 14 Pi Kapps from BETA KAPPA, Georgia State University. We were real happy that they thought enough of us to come down and see us, and hope to see them in the future, here and there. The week end was enjoyed by all , and was rated as one of the bes t in our short history.

"Officers for the Spring semester are as follows: Archon, Brother Robert Hutchins, Washington D. C.; Treasurer, Brother Curt Compton, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Secretary, Brother Edward Mason, Dryden, N. Y.; Historian, Brother Philip Campbell, Key Biscayne, Fla.; Chaplain, Brother Jim Farr, Eau Ga ll ie, Fla., and Warden, Brother Bernie Sti ll well, Glens Fall , N.Y.

" At the present time we are direct ing our activities toward constructing a patio between the houses and enlarging the park­ing lot."

BETA LAMBDA CHAPTER

From Historian Nick Nichols comes word that a number of members of BETA LAMBDA made "Senior Class Notables" as fol lows: Bob Swirbu l, "Best All Around ;" Wally Bembry, " Best Looking;" Bill Post, "Most Athletic; " Jim Gallagher, "Most Popular.' ' Bill Post and Bob Swirbu l made "Who's Who.' '

When Historian Nichols reported for BETA LAMBDA, the chapter was leading the league for the Intramural Champion­ship. BETA LAMBDA placed third in basketball but took a first place in the Foul Shooting Contest, with Brother Bill Turner, Bob Swigert, and Dave Camper placing for BETA LAMBDA. Brother Mike Whitwell was top scorer in the basket­ball tournament and was elected co-captain of the All-Star Basketball Team.

The first day of Spring, BETA LAMBDA observes Daughters' Day, adopting 12 "daughters" from among the coeds at the University of Tampa. This ceremony is followed by a banquet and dance in their honor.

BETA PI CHAPTER

BETA PI held its annua l Spring semester Rush Smoker February 27 . The guest speakers were District President Wil ­liam Brink, Douglas Wiseman, an alumnus from Pine Grove, Ypsilanti, Mich ., and Dr. Wi lliam Work, chapter adviser, Ypsi lanti. The end result of the chapter smoker was 11 pledges. Archon Wi lliam Kitts, Garden City, Mich ., held a Fraternity party to celebrate the line job the brothers did in preparing the Open House program.

We are told that a new basketba ll spirit was founded among the brothers of ALPHA THETA at Michigan State Univer­sity and BETA PI at Eastern Michigan when the two teams met at Eastern March 1, with ALPHA THETA winning. The game was followed by a Coffee Hour at which a "gigantic" two-inch trophy was awarded to the victorious team for their excellent performance.

BETA PI'S second annual Rose Ball will be held May 10.

BETA RHO CHAPTER

We will close this edition of "Chapter News" with the fin e report of Historian Edward C. Cheva lier, BETA RHO Chapter:

" Friday, January 31, at 3:30 AM, the BETA RHO Chapter House was rocked by a violent explosion, caused by the rupture of the hot water section of the furnace.
