"the J of your '" memory. Colla ~~it l]J h: good
I N 1934 I arrived on the Michigan State campus as green a freshman as ever wore the
State green and white "pot." I was there because a cousin, the late J. Edson Jepson, had given up part of his job in the University comptroller's office, so that I could have a job and go to college. Since I reported for work in midsummer, J invited me to live at the Pi Kapp house. When school started he suggested that I stay on using the street address only for registration. When it was legal, he pledged me, and when I made my grades (finally) and could be initiated, he took part in the ritual.
During the years J was in East Lansing, as an undergraduate and later an employee of the University, he probably brought more men into Alpha Theta than any other single brother. He held most of the offices, including that of Archon, and after graduation was one of the Chapter advisors.
J was no super salesman. Nor was he a harddriving administrator or a rah-rah boy. He wasn't tall, dark and handsome, and he wasn't an orator.
J was an average guy. He could sell, he could organize, he had fun with the boys (and girls), he looked pretty good when he used enough greasy kid stuff to hold the cowlick down and he could make a fair talk. An average guy.
Why, then, do most of the Alpha Thetas from 1931 to 1940 remember J better than any other? Why, then, do most Alpha Theta alumni ask me, "are you related to J Jepson?"
The answer is that J loved his fellow man. He was interested, he listened well, he helped others. In short, he believed in brotherhood and he lived the ideals expressed in our ritual. And ... you could like him because he was human enough to go through the slips and backsliding

SOME NOTEWORTHY CONVENTION AWARDS
A WARDS for distinguished achievements by various members and
chapters of the fraternity were presented at the kick-off banquet, which was highlighted by a rousing speech from Jim Golden, the fraternity's new national historian.
The award winners were: Theron Houser Award for Chapter
Improvement: Gamma, Univ. of California.
Champion Master Chapters: Alpha, Charleston; Mu, Duke; Chi, Stetson; Beta Alpha, Newark; Beta Psi, Tennessee Wesleyan.
Award winning convention delegates hold the national champion chapter banner they received for their chapter at the kick-off banquet.

In his speech, Jim Golden called for Pi Kapps to participate in politics at every level from the campus to the White House.
"The trouble with politics is not those who are in it, but those who are not in it," he said.
"Good government requires initiative, and when we lose the initiative, then we'll lose this good government we have."
He said a great American paradox is that politics is considered too dirty for most people to be involved in, yet

in these trying times is of the highest order and in the best tradition of Pi Kappa Phi,
Be it therefore resolved that the 31st Supreme Chapter does hereby express its appreciation and respect to our brothers undergoing the dangers and rigors of war.
(Both resolutions were passed by the Supreme Chapter.)

PI KAPPA PHI will soon hire an Alumni Coordinator. Creation of the new executive posi
tion in the National Office was accomplished by the 31st Supreme Chapter on the strong recommendation of the Convention's Alumni Relations Committee.
The Alumni Coordinator will work with graduate members of Pi Kappa Phi in developing their meaningful participation and support in the affairs of the fraternity. This will be a full time executive post seen by most leaders of the fraternity as a constructive and timely step toward strengthening a vital area of the Pi Kappa Phi community.
This action of the 31st Supreme Chapter appears to have eliminated former real or imagined barriers and divisions of interests between undergraduate and graduate members of the fraternity. For once initiated, a man is always a Pi Kapp. His membership in the fraternity cannot be

Brothers, this program must be direct; it must be aggressive; and it must be immediate.
Brothers, for a quick review of the past in Pi Kappa Phi's alumni relations, our alumni relations have risen and fallen as the total fraternity has climbed and, on occasions, stumbled through its past years. As in any organization of Pi Kappa Phi's nature and size, we are sure there are examples of high quality alumni relations. Also we are certain there are many instances of the lowest quality of alumni relations. In evaluating Pi

diluted by classifying him either an undergraduate member or an alumnus. There are, in fact, no alumni of the fraternity, only of the colleges and universities where they were initiated into the brotherhood. The Pi Kappa Phi experience is a constant one.
Here is the text of the historic and enthusiastic report of the Alumni Relations Committee of the 31st Supreme Chapter:
The Alumni Relations Committee has duly met with the spirit of brotherhood and has exacted accomplishments of extreme interest and importance to all members of Pi Kappa Phi and thus respectfully requests your attention and kindest consideration.
General Evaluation: The Committee did not look in depth into alumni relations as they now or formerly existed among the individual undergraduate chapters and alumni of those individual chapters and among those alumni who reside in the vicinity of undergraduate chapters and are considered local alumni.
Instead, based on past reports and actions of the brotherhood of Pi Kappa Phi and other information available to the Committee, it is the firm and unanimous conviction of this Committee that the needs of the individual chapters of Pi Kappa Phi and their members in the matter of alumni relations-all phases of alumni relations --can best be served and more readily accomplished with the greatest possible chance of success by meeting
14
Kappa Phi's total alumni relations aptitude, approach and accomplishments up to the present time, it can be said that at best they have been no better than fair. And Brothers, under the conditions necessary today for mere existence, much less progress, fair is not good and good is not good enough!
A look at the future: Pi Kappa Phi's future, the Committee believes, as we are sure all other Pi Kapps believe, is to be one of strength, progress, and ever-increasing success and prosperity. But the one source that has the most ingredients for the strength, progress, success and prosperity of Pi Kappa Phi is the source that remains virtually untapped-the alumni as a group. They are the more in numbers, richer in financial resources, and have more business experience than undergraduates.
It is now and will continue to be the policy of Pi Kappa Phi (and the Committee will stand corrected if it is not so) that all future considerations for expansion will be based on the direct participation of alumni in that proposed expansion. Under our present operating conditions and manpower our efforts in expansion will be on a limited basis, a basis not consistant with the future welfare of Pi Kappa Phi.

WHILE we all like to think progress is being made toward more mature fraternity re
sponsibility, there are times when I become very discouraged. It seems like fraternities and fraternity men are "fiddling while Rome burns" -that they are more bent on preserving their "gung ho" way of life than in assuming their real role of leadership.
There are real issues facing us today that command the greatest in collective wisdom, the deepest of religious conscience and devotion, the best of patriotic service, and the highest in fraternity fellowship and leadership. Thomas Paine's historical tract during the American Revolution haunts me-"These are the times that try men's souls."
Conflicts in political ideologies, collapse of moral standards, use and abuse of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, have all worked together to fan almost every social, campus and community issue into a destructive blaze of untold dimensions. Legitimate issues are being used for illegitimate purposes. Minor dilemmas and differences of opinion and approach are being caught up in larger prejudices and hate campaigns. Youth is being pitted against adult, student against teacher, community against administration, labor against capital, black against white. Revolt, dramatic public confron-
LEADERSHIP---------------------------------------------------------tation, violence, rioting, anarchy are challenging the law of order and reason and debate. Argument and discussion as a means for solving problems cannot be heard for the clamor in the street.
Many of the issues are normal to our times and have grown not out of disinterest in youth, but out of our population explosion, the skyrocketed standard of living, mushroomed nuclear developments, academic emphasis in the schools, threats of war, instability and changing nature of home life. But the American students' ingenuity can resolve these difficulties through democratic processes and discussion - if the issues are not exploited for sinister and ulterior purposes.
In some instances, I fear the American conscience and the religious conscience and even the professional conscience is being finessed to supply the trump card-to explain the logic of youthful revolt and to rationalize an explanation for a nation's unrest. It is said that student unrest stems not only from race pressures but from pressures of life itself. College-age youth are the war-baby crop; their families are broken up. Some parents have restricted them too severely; other parents didn't restrict them enough. Academic freedom is a cause, some say, and the impersonality of a big university causes students to have to bend their ID cards to get attention.
"I'm only a number" is their paranoid complaint. They need to find ways to express themselves and to be noticed. Certainly I agree that these problems may exist in varying degrees and are inherent in our national growth. But answers are being sought and found daily by earnest workers. Properly conducted fraternities seeking a real leadership role have many of the answers in their own creeds and objectives. But time is running out on us to live and act by those ideals.
MUST STUDENTS REBEL? It has been said on a campus by an agitator
of a social action group that today there is an absolute necessity for students to rebel publicly. Students don't even need to know the reasons for their protest, but if they rebel just for the sake of rebellion, the "intellect" of the nation will provide the reasons. If students are being duped into acting on any such diabolical and insidious advice, you may be sure the hottest front in the current cold war may well be moving onto the college campus.
The First World War was fought, it was said, "to make the world safe for democracy." What are we doing now after World War II and Korea, in comparative peacetime, to make democracy work for the world?! When disorder and riotous protests and civil disobedience become the order of the day-the watchwords of some of the social action elements-our demo-
cratic processes are being undermined andb d:; mocracy made less safe for the world! .A ~he and misuse of constitutional freedoms are oc· surest ways to destroy the discipline of de~ racy.

(d) While a leader, as the dictionary says, is also o11e who has autho1·ity to direct, it is also one who goes ahead to show the way. One who by his own example shows he is not afraid to do what he expects others to do--who has courage and who by his own character and actions gives proof of his leadership.
(e) And finally, the dictionary says-a leader is an inconspicuous line made of silkworm gut to conceal and strengthen the fishing line.
A fraternity president as a leader doesn't just have a line; he is a line. A line of c~mm~nication between his chapter and the Umversity, the national office, and the general public. He serves as the communications and human relations agent for the membership.
If he is a good leader he will try to keep the chapter and especially the officers and chairmen adequately informed and he will expect them to keep themselves updated. And they will pass their experience and materials and reports down from year to year. As a dean of students I can tell you that one of the biggest problems in working with students is the problem of continuity. "They can fight and run away-we must stay to fight another day." I sincerely believe that if a chapter can overcome the difficulty of passing the torch from one administration to another and can keep abreast of all that the Dean's office and Fraternity office give the chapter in the way of helpful controls and operational procedures they will have half of their difficulties licked, because they can build strength on strength and not have it always to do over each year.
And, conversely, if members and pledges would quit beefing to themselves and transmit their questions freely to the University through their fraternity officers and the student government we could come to many better understandings without so much trauma and irritation. School government, like state and federal government, must depend on normal c.hannels and elected and appointed representatives because it is impossible to communicate with each person. Strengthen these routes by being dependable lines of communication.
LEADERSHIP FOR THE FRATERNITY And so the fraternity itself has a leadership
role in this challenging time and the individual leader-member, must do everything possible to obtain the highest level of social responsibility in the chapter. To fail to do so may well be to contribute not only to the downfall of the fraternity system, but to the deterioration of our democratic society.
"The fraternity enterprise is one of the bulwarks of our nation ... "
LEADERSHIP---------------------------------------------------------Fraternities today, rich in their heritage and
steeped in tradition, have asked, "Is it possible for a fraternity to maintain its prominent place on the university scene?" The reply seems to me inevitable and would be humorous if not so tragic.
To paraphrase a parable in the teachings of Jesus: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a fraternity man to graduate magna cum laude. But, keep the ideals of your founding fathers; go sell much of your acquired way of life and follow the true spirit of brotherhood, keeping only the cloak of intellectual curiosity and spiritual maturity about you that you may yourselves become mantels for the light of truth and honor that keeps men free."
The fraternity enterprise with its selectmen is one of the bulwarks of our nation and if fraternities cannot rise to the challenge of our times, then God help America! We must revitalize and realign the fraternities for the sake of the University and for the individual dignity of college manhood. We can no longer ignore or reject the role of leadership that is expected of our fraternities and their members.
TEN CHAPTER COMMANDMENTS 1. Thou shalt have no other goals before those
of the University. The school's purposes of sound education, maturing mental attitudes, acquisition of knowledge, experience of culture and refinement shall prevail and none can stand against them.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. To idolize the fraternity as a cult, or to subscribe to its party emphasis is to deny the ideals of the founding fathers and to build upon shifting sands for ultimate collapse.
3. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to shallow purposes nor serve them, for the iniquity of the chapter shall be visited upon the pledges and members of the third and fourth generation.
4. Thou shalt not disgrace the name of thy fraternity, for the fraternity holds itself responsible for the action of its members and pledges and will not hold him guiltless who ignores its standards and ideals. Justice is its cornerstone and true manhood its goal! No member or pledge may continue in the fraternity who fails to meet academic standards, moral codes and patterns of decency, courtesy, and gentlemanly conduct. Guard zealously the honor of your fraternity and your university.
5. Remember the study hours and keep them quiet. An academic climate and spirit of serious inquiry must prevail in the house of the fraternity. Many diversions may be entered into, but certain times must be held sacred for scholarly pursuits.
h daYS 6. Honor thy alumni members that t Y ave may be long at your university. Others h 0u gone before you to provide the heritage ?ers enjoy as a brotherhood. Graduate J!le:m an~ remain to give continuity, stability, y 1Je guidance so that a new generation ~a oJIIe the recipients of even more who esived benefits which they themselves rece tet, not. But they, without the active chaP "cannot be made perfect." es,
7. Thou shalt not kill or haze your pledt~eY but train them patiently in the waY. ateO should go. A fellowship properly dediC agecan give a frightened freshman encour an~ ment, brotherly counsel, and guida~ce, aur· a sense of belonging that sustains h~Ill an~ ing his dangerous days of emancipatloJlf tbe experimentation and can offset much 0 plet bigness and impersonality of a com university. . 11n~ But if you set before him temptat;onflo!ltpoor example and train him only 1n most building and social dis graces, thoU nlld surely will curtail his academic growth stunt his character development.
0mis·
8. Thou shalt not engage in sexual pr doJIIS cuity nor allow yourselves other free oral· of appetite, such as drinking, that de~ alld ize and weaken you as a brotherhoo as individuals. nor
9. Thou shalt not steal from each oth~rtY_... from the university nor from s~cl~dells, neither in material possessions nor 1n ~is~ reputation and honour. To steal mone steal crime; to steal ideas is plagiarism; to eJesS· a girl's reputation even when she ca~gnit1 ly tosses it about is to destroy they?Id not of both manhood and womanhood. 1e a!Ues to your base desires, but let spiritu~l v · control your emotions and your action;~inst

THIS IS CHIC QUEVADO, CUBAN, CIVIL ENGINEER, PI KAPP CHAPTER BUILDER
Manuel Gonzalez (Chic) Quevedo, Iota '14, in his student days at
Georgia Tech, left Tech to enroll at the University of North Carolina to start another chapter of his fraternity. Later he worked in the formation of a chapter at Duke University.
That his efforts were successful is attested to by the strong fraternal relationships he maintains even today with his contemporaries of Iota, Kappa, and Mu chapters of Pi Kappa Phi.
Chic Quevedo lives today in his native Cuba. He is 71 and still works as a civil engineer on road building projects there.
Through the auspices of the National Office of the fraternity another Spanish speaking Pi Kapp, Bartolo B. (Roddy) Rodriquez, Jr., Iota '15, of Tampico, Tamps, Mexico, contacted Chic Quevedo recently by letter. Their written communication was the first meeting of the two Pi Kapps. It appears to have been a rewarding meef · in g.
19
The new civil engineer posed for this picture soon after his return to Cuba from college.
In a letter to Executive Secretary Durward Owen, Roddy Rodriquez wrote:
"I am afraid you had begun to think I had not paid any attention to your last letter asking me to write to Brother Manuel Gonzalez Quevedo, Iota '14, and a resident of San Luis, Oriente, Cuba. Now it is my great pleasure to inform you that I have in my possession two letters from Brother Quevedo and a few recent pictures of him which I received May 25th. I did not write to you upon receipt of the first letter because I wanted it confirmed that he was 'alive and kicking.' Since he has sent the enclosed picture of him I have the confirmation that I wanted.
"Chic reports that he has received the Fifty Year Golden Anniversary Diploma (the Golden Legion certificate from the fraternity) certifying his membership of 50 years in Pi Kappa Phi and treasures it enormously. He is now 71 years of age and is still working as a civil engineer, building roads in his native Cuba.
"It has been quite a pleasure for me to contact Brother Quevedo, whom I have never met, although I have heard many good things about him.
20
We are now planning to meet in Mexico some good day soon.''
Roddy Rodriquez also reminisced about Pi Kappa Phi and Iota Chapter 50 years ago.
"During the second decade of the Twentieth Century when Pi Kappa Phi was in its infancy, having only two or three chapters in South Carolina, real pioneering had to be done in order for the fraternity to live. The state of Georgia was fertile ground and Iota Chapter came into existence.
"Multiple problems had to be overcome, but such men as Jimmy Calnan James Valentine, W. Lewis Wottoon: Sam Cook, and others kept the fires burning. One day in January 1914 the chapter house at 9 North Avenue was visited by Manuel Gonzalez Quevedo who d?e to hi~ wonderful personality and h1s God-giVen talent for making f::i~nds, s~attered completely the traditiOnal differences between nationalities and was unanimously accepted for membership. He was initiated into Iota Chapter on February 14, 1914.
"Chic, as he was popularly known in fraternity circles, was a fullblooded, born-and-raised Cuban. But he soon felt the warmth of friendship among the brothers and appreciated the bonds of brotherhood in Pi Kappa Phi. He had a clear vision of the future of the fraternity and with his keen sense of responsibility he saw himself in that future as a' bannerbearer of his dear fraternity. He left his comfortable and popular place at Iota and entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he immediately began the task of developing a group which was later init~ated as Kappa Chapter. Not content with that one chapter built he visited the nearby campus of Duke University where he also assisted in the organization and initiation of Mu Chapter.
"Chic reports he vividly remembers such brothers as Richard L. (Dick) Young, former editor of The Sta1· & Lamp; Henry Harper, former national treasurer of Pi Kappa Phi; J. Shepard Bryan of Kappa, former member of the National Council. "~e is really proud of his 50-year
certificate from the fraternity, and he feels happy to know that our fraternity has endured and grown in the intervening years. He daily prays to God for the good health and prosper-
of pi ity of each and every member God Kappa Phi Fraternity, and pra?ioved may grant that soon his most e with Cuba will be on friendly terms the United States.'' er,

VIET NAM LETTER FROM WES BEAL, BETA RHO
THIS is the first chance I've had to sit down and know that I'll have
some time to myself. The main reason is that I have been grounded for a few days after having a couple of wisdom teeth pulled. Funny way to get some time off.
Anyway, some of my experiences and observations will be set down on the next few pages. I hope they will be of some interest.
I am a "slick" driver in an automobile company. Flying the world famous "Huey"-Army nomenclature: UH-lD, Helicopter. The unit has two platoons of "slicks" which are the troop and supply ships. They carry seven combat equipped troops, or a variety of cargo, externally or internally. The third platoon consists of the armed Helicopters; aerial fil·e support only, with the payload being made up completely of weapons and ordnance.
The "slicks" are the workhorse of Viet Nam, carrying their payload i~to otherwise inaccessible areas. The sh1ps are armed with two 762 machine gu_ns on each side, manned by the crew ch1ef and a gunner.
One cannot say enough for the crew chief on a "Huey." He flies all da.y and often at night, exposed to fire w1thout the armor plate that surrounds the pilot and co-pilot. He is an expert gunner and a trained mecha.ni~. When the pilots retire after a I!IISSIOn, the crew chief's work has .JUSt begun. There is the daily inspect10!1 an~ seryicing of his ship. There IS pnde 1n
their work also; before the next day's mission, the ship is spotless . All the mud and dust has been removed, and the ship is ready for the pilot's preflight inspection. Then the crew chief can be depended upon during the flight as an extra pair of eyes, expertly watching for enemy activity and other aircraft, refueling and cleaning as he goes, loading and unloading passengers and cargo expertly. He well knows the capability and best load configuration of the ship. He will tell everybody over a few well deserved beers "'Old 89,' the best ship in the platoon!" The pilots know that the credit is all his. When our unit came to the Republic from Korea, most of the personnel had only a few months to serve overseas. However, we had five crew-chiefs extend their stay in Viet Nam to make it a full tour or longer. Their reasons are patriotic, but I also feel that they see the importance of their work, and are proud of their position and respect. It's like the enjoyment of a good job well done and they do it every day! '
Missions for a chopper pilot are many varied, and the hours are long. The pilots in our platoon average from 80 to 120 hours a month in the air. It is easy to imagine the amazing figures that represent the payload carried by helicopters in Viet Nam every day. We actually out perform the Air Force in this command!
We fly VIP missions, resupply, psychological warfa1·e (loudspeakers and leaflet drops), and the combat assault.
21
"GETTING SHOT AT IS SOMETHING NOBODY EVER GETS USED T011
The night before a combat assault ("C.A."), the company operations officer gets a briefing from the ground commander and comes back to the company to assign the air mission commander and a flight leader. The flight leader is usually one of the two airlift (slick) platoon commanders. From there, the aircraft and crews are chalked on the board in order for the formation. The crews are called into operations for a briefing and things start rolling l Crew chiefs make a final check of the ship and weapons. Smoke grenades for marking targets and positions are put on board. First aid kits, survival kits and emergency radios are double checked. The pilots prepare maps and time schedules. Every man must know the route and sequence of events, in case of a change in plans, or in the event that the lead ship goes down; and, as number two in the flight, you become the leader.
No detail is overlooked as start time, line-up time, and take-off time are down to the minute. Weather, enemy situation, friendly disposition, down ship and wounded personnel procedures are received for exactness.
Then rest, until dawn when the whine of a dozen turbine engines start the blades in motion, and the V. C. are in for another surprise.
The great advantage of U. S. troops is mobility and firepower. Mobility being provided by "choppers." ~nemy activity is spotted by radar, air surveillance, or patrols. Air strikes and artillery surround the position and then back off while the choppers land with their cargo of deadly infantry. Once detected and cornered, the V. C. (charlie) is outdone. Another bitter blow is dealt to the communist forces.
22
Take off is on schedule, and we pick up the troops and head for the landing zone. Enroute, the armed ships serve as escorts, immediately returning fire on the enemy, escorting the slicks into the landing zone, and protecting any downed aircraft until resume and evacuation is complete. After the mission is complete, we stand by with reserve forces at the pick-up zone.
A fully loaded helicopter in formation under fire is alien to the proverbial "tiger" on a leash. There is no room for mistakes when eleven people on board are depending on perfection to successfully complete the mission.
Getting shot at is something nobody ever gets used to. Even in a chopper with a flight helmet on, the sound of a round or burst from a machine gun is deafening, and the secondary noise of it piercing the skin of the aircraft makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand tall. The return fire of your door gunner and a few evasive movements are automatic. Then a quick glance at the instruments to insure that no rounds found a vulnerable spot on your ship. You know that the ever alert crew-chief has marked the spot with a quickly thrown smoke grenade. If in a flight, a rapid "receiving fire-red smoke out!" is broadcast to the flight leader and the armed choppers (gunships) take over. On a single ship mission, a report to the nearest control center will bring retaliatory action.
On a recent flight to Division Headquarters about five miles south of the airfield, our mission was to pick up a new pilot assigned to the unit. On the return trip, we were low level dodging

Title of the first, addressed primarily to high school teachers, is "Should my students join a Frate?-nity at College?"-Eleven career educators all answer, YES!" The second, "Showld your son join a Fraternity?-Men who speak from experience say, YES!," is addressed to parents of students about to enter college.
The teacher-directed pamphlet outlines the pro and con arguments about fraternity membership, building a strong case for fraternities.

GOVERNOR MOORE ATTENDS TAU ALUMNI REGROUPING
The first of June this past summer saw Tau Chapter sponsoring a dinner for PKP Alumni residing in Wake County and surrounding areas in order to rejuvenate and expand an existing nucleus of Tau's Alumni Chapter. A tl·emendous effort was put forth to contact as many area alumni (regardless of their home chapter) to attend this function. Governor Moore, one of our good alumnus (Kappa Chapter at UNC) found time in his schedule to attend this meeting held at the Pi Kappa Phi House at North Carolina State University. This proved to be an incentive for the alumni to come out for this gathering plus give everyone the opportunity to personally meet the governor.
Tom Saieed, Chapter advisor and alumni liaison for Tau, presided over the after-dinner meeting. Governor Moore then shared some of his thoughts with the group, "urging all alumnus to actively participate in alumni activities" - as today more than ever, fraternities need sound and proper guidance (as well as financial aid).
L. M. "Mule" Shirley, past president and one of the bulwarks of the alumni chapter, presided over the election of new officers. New officers elected were Bill Scarbough, president; Jack Alford (reelected), secretary; and Tom Williams, treasurer. An Executive Steering Committee was also elected which consists of L. M. Shirley, Charlie Burleson, Jim Zimmerman, and Jim Johnson. Several business matters and future activities throughout the year for the alumni chapter then were discussed . Prior to the meeting being adjourned, it was stressed to all attending to pass the word to other area alumni to insure that their names be included on the alumni roster.
The turnout for this function was large and very encouraging. Since this meeting, Tau has held another alumni dinner meeting the first of this fall and plans are now being firmed for further activities. North Carolina State's alumni chapter is on the move, so if you are one of the eligibles for membership, let Tau know so you may be in on the coming functions. TAS/jfm

These comments are excerpted from the award citation:
"Don L. Anderson has utilized the range of modern observations concerning seismic body and surface waves, the free vibrations, and the loss characteristics of all these to re-evaluate and to revise interpretations of the elastic and anelastic structure of the Earth ... Although still controversial, this hypothesis must be reckoned as !1 major one in explaining the mecham-cal properties of the Earth. .
"Anderson has used the extensive information. Thus, by drawing from the newest techniques of seismology, many of which he pioneered himself, and by using the ~ost recent data from solid-state physics, he has paved the way for a new attack on the largescale and basic problems of planetary processes."
In his acceptance r~marks, .Do!l said: "Except for certam. ra!e Individuals every successful scientist owes a great deal to his environment and his colleagues. I have been very fortunate on both counts. I would like to mention a few of those who ha.ve contributed directly and substantially to the fact that I am standing here tonight. First of all, Ro~e.r~ P. Sharp, the chairman of the DiviSion of Geological Science.s, has created an en~ vironment which breeds excellence, this environment and his personal encouragement and sympathy have contributed immeasurably to my own career.

COL. LARRY BOLVIG AND HIS WIFE TURNED THEIR CONCERTS INTO AN ANNUAL ARTS FESTIVAL
THIS year was the fourteenth for the annual Glenora Music and Art
Festival in upstate New York. The festival was originated by Lawrence (Colonel Larry) Bolvig, Alpha Xi, and his wife, Doris Hevener Bolvig.
The festival, which this year drew an audience of 1.500 people for two weekends of cultural festivities in July and August, began informally in the Bolvigs' home when they invited friends to see a neighbor's paintings and listen to a joint music recital by the Bolvigs.
Mrs. Bolvig, who is an Eastman School of Music graduate and a noted interpreter of Edward MacDowell, made her debut as a concert pianist at the age of 12. Larry Bolvig is an engineer, businessman, athlete, much decorated military officer, but first and always a musician. He attended night school to earn a Juilliard degree, and during World War II he sang oratorios in England and studied opera in Paris and Germany.
The Bolvigs' first exhibit-concert programs drew such large audiences that after the third year they converted their barn to a gallery-studio, and in an adjoining grove built a shell patterned after a fine audio speaker. It is almost camouflaged by the trees which seem to enfold the audience also. Each year at Glenora Colony near Watkins Glen, N. Y., the Bolvigs' friends from the concert stage delight to participate and the exhibit built around local artists has to be limited to three paintings from each artist, carefully selected.
The Lakemont Christian Church has become the festival's official sponsor now, freeing the Bolvigs for performing and programming.
The Bolvigs' two talented daughters often join them in performances.
There is no admission charge at the Glenora Music and Art Festival. Everyone is welcome.

T\NO SOUTH CARO Ll A PI KAPPS MAKE THE PAPERS
The following newspaper articles spotlight two prominent South Carolina Pi Kapps-Clayton Grimed igma, and Woody Brooks, Pi (District President, Dist. IV). The Grimes story is from the Associate
Press, and the Brooks story is by Ted Shelton of the "Columbia (S. C.) State."-Ed.
SCRAPPY ATTORNEY IS 'MR. WET'
GEORGETOWN, S. C. (AP)-Although he rarely drinks alcoholic beverages, State Sen. Clayton Grimes is South Carolina's "Mr. Wet."
An expert skin diver and self-described "physical fitness nut," Grimes is equally adept at pushing for liberalized state liquor laws or at poking around sunken hulks off the South Carolina coast.
The scrappy, 43-year-old Georgetown attorney was mainly 1·esponsible for uncorking a compromise in the state legislature which will allow voters to decide in November if bars should be legalized. The state constitution now forbids the drinking of liquor outside the home but the ban has been widely ignored.
"I hate hypocrisy," said Grimes in explaining his stand.
A local option feature was the compromise which persuaded the legislature to let the people decide on the liquor-by-the-drink issue.
If the over-all state vote is wet in November, bars will be legalized only in those counties which voted for removal of the constitutional restrictions. The 1967 legislature would have to write into law any liquor legislation.
Grimes, a fighter pilot in the Pacific during World War II, now pilots his own amphibian plane and flies to Columbia for legislative sessions.
He Jives with his wife and two sons in a historic home built in 1790. On weekends he wants to skin dive, he arises at dawn, checks the leaves on a backyard pecan tree for the wind direction and judges wind velocity by watching smoke pouring from stacks of a pulp mill.
After a breakfast of salt mackerel and eggs, he loads his scuba diving equipment into a 100-horsepower outboard and heads the boat into Winyah Bay.
One of Grimes' favorite diving areas, where fish abound, is around the hulk of the steamer, City of Richmond, which sank during a storm.
Grimes is no more afraid of sharks and barracuda than he is of the "drys" who hope to swamp his plans for liberalized liquor laws.
But, like legislative lobbyists, the big fish can be dangerous when aggravated.
28
Mounted on a wall at the Grimes home is a barracuda which attacked him after he wounded it. Grimes had to do a lot of dodging before he finally killed it.
ANDREWS HAS A NEW DAY
ANDREWS, S. C.-The town of Andrews, S. C., is so small and so poor that, according to its mayor, his honor and the six members of council have to rotate the job of being the town drunk.
The mayor is Woody Brooks. He doesn't look like a politician, although he practices the art adroitly. He doesn't even look like a mayor. Yet under his administration his town has wiped out a deficit and is now looking toward multi-thousand dollar civic improvement projects with confidence.
He doesn't talk like the president of one of South Carolina's most sophisticated influential polished organizations, the Municipal Association of South Carolina - official spokesman for more than 250 cities.
Brooks is owner, operator, doctor without license, resident engineer, and pampered head of Brooks Veneer Co., of Andrews. He supports the furniture trade by making drawers. Woody has a joke about that.
He's a ruddy man with thinning coal-gray hair slicked back. He carries his six-foot frame permanently relaxed. He will give you an opinion on anything. He's thinking all the time about things to do for And1·ews.
Andrews spreads its 4,000 population everywhere in the four square miles of its incorporated limits. It's a straight-laced town of agricultural, pseudo-industrial leanings. It is used to stagnant politics, with never a voice in the economy and social life it perpetuated-until Brooks was elected.
Last week he stood in his office at City Hall (it's paid for) and heard a complaint from two ladies about rats coming out of a hole around a sewer pipe. (He is getting ready to put in a sewer improvement program.)
"Honey," he syruped one lady. "We'll do what we can. If that don't work we'll put a man out there and have him shoot the rats as they come out. If he misses, then we'll shoot him."
The ladies giggled and left. Brooks recalls that the town "used
to have an old Plymouth which the two policemen used to have to push off for calls."
