Carl Denney, Andr. '29, was electedpresident of the conventioin, and TOlnShive, Andr.

Report On Last Year's Petitions-N 0 petitions for nevv chapter.s are at
hand at present. The repdrt of theGrand Coucil on the subjecf of expansion is as follows: Bro. Ely visitedGeorgia Tech on January 4, 1928. TheGeorgia Tech Architectural Society iRcomposed largely6fstudents affiliateawith gene,~al, fraterniti<:s, ,', -h-~l<is its\veekly meetings on Sunday, afternoons.and is definitely opposed,-to mainte;nanceof 'a, chapter .house.-Under ·these Cil~"cumstances -the..~Crand ' Council. thoughtit best to -tollow the- policy laid down bythe 13£h-- Convention, a;nd therefore returned- the petition without action. ,
Bro. Christen~ Anth. '18, visitedNorthCarolina State College in the Spring of192.8, ai-id --rep-orted favora.l?:Iy:: on the
Number 3
Delta Alpha Sigma fraternity whichpetitioned the 13th C'onvention. Sincethat time, however, letters and telegramshave received no answer. Bro. Christe:n's severe illness during this Fall hasprevented him re;..visiting the college,but he will probably do sO during the.coming spring.
No dir:ect word has been receivedfrorn the Triangle Club at ClevelandSchool of Architecture since the 13thConventioin. Letters from G. C. toCleveland Alumni on the subject remainunanswered. .
Yale University as a prospect has beenpushed several years by our alulnni atYale, Harvard, and New York City4Bro. Cass Gilbert has given the luatterhis support and is influencing the headof the department of architecture in ourbehalf. The "n1atter has .TIot reached anydefinite conclusio:n, however.
Bro. Annis, \V. G. S., is working on aproposition at University of Washington.JoinsProfessional Interfraternity Con-'
ferenceThe motion that Alpha Rho Chi join'
th.e Professional Interfraternity COl1'-'ference unamilnously passed.
The interim committee on SLllnmerSketch Competit1on reported for Mnesicles c~apter,that effQrts to carryonthis con1petition have been unsuccessful.
Under the head 0-£ nevv business themotion "vas carried that the'G.-, C.'beelnpowered to establish a sister pin inthe form of a minature badge.
Bro. Ely reported that a new .GreatSeal has been' designed and is now inuse by the Grand Council. There was'considerable discussion regarding h,eraldie inconsistencies of the present :arlTls.The opposition con~tended that a <;h~nge
in the p-resent arms would put much,9fthe jeweI'ry in the obsolete clas? fina:1-,ly, a committee was appointed -:t9' re,~
port to the 15th Convention on: thesubject of a revised coat of anus. Bros.King and Ronan (bern. -Honorary) wereselected as the committee to investigah~
and submit their findings to the GrandCouncil before the next convention.
Bro. Ely' reported that unifonn engraved stationery for use of th,e chapters
2
vyould soon be available. '[his stationery will: have the fraternity crest and ~ill
be furnished at cost to all the actIvechapters upon application to the GrandCouncil.
Revisions in By-Laws.l\JIinor revisions and additions to the
Constitution and By-Laws were' recommended by the Grand Coucil, and all"vere adopted- by the Convention, themost important ones being briefly asfollows:
'1'he \V. G. S. will no\v have supervision over all the aluIn'lli bodies.
Initiation will not be less than FortyFive Dollars ($45.00). It forInerly wasnot less than $25.00. All honorary lnen1"bel's Inust novv pay Fifteen l)ollars($15.00) for "an i'l1dividual certificate of111eulbership and for a life subcsriptionto The /irchi.
'I'he Alull1niBuilding Funds should bekept by the Chapter's recognized AlumniAssociation and kept as a separate account to be deposited to draw interestand u'sed only for the purchase, buildingor ren10deling of a chapter house. Incase a chapter does not have a recognized Ahllnni Association, a cOll1mitteeconsisting of tvvo alumni Inelnbers,selected by the active chapter, and theWorthy Clerk shall have charge of thisfund.
I-Iereafter the Grand Counci shall bethe i\rchi Board and publish The ~l1"chi.
'1'hey shall select ea'ch year (ending July1st) an Editor :1nd Publication Manager.'I'he VV. G. E. will be the Business Manager of The Archi, and all life subscriptions should be sent direct -to hin1.
Hereafter Associate members will beeligible to alu111ni mernbership by chapter vote only after the cOll1pletionofthree years of academic "york in the DepartIn~nt of Architecture, and not then'until three years have elapsed after their"vithdravval. 'I'here is no difference inrights or priviledges of either ll1ell1bership in the Inaj ority of chapters, and thisrl1eans that a man upon graduating isreally entitled to a little higher title thanthe 11lan \ivho quits school ill1111ediatelyafter initiation.
.Annual Chapter InspectionThe convention continued with ne\v
business and a general discussion f01lo\ved regardin g Standard', Bookkeepin gSystenl for all Chapters. Bro. A. I),Baker, And. Ex. '24, was appointed as apernla'nent conlmittee to investigate andreport his findings to the W. G. E.
Upon recomrneridation froln the GrandCOlIncil, the convention voted the au-thotiZation of an annual irispection ofchapters under the auspices o,f the GrandCounciL The expenses of ,inspectingrnenlber to be dra\v~n: from the -generalfraternity funds: The G.; C. plans forthe dpresel1tto have ,each of its -membersinspect the:,chap.ters," ne'arest to hisper--'InanentJocation; We ,feel that this is'one 'of the 'high poinfs -of thedFourt"eenth'COlt\;e:ntiori, as it :isjust one- step 'nearerto the day <\vhen Alpha Rho, Chi \vill bein a pOsition fi-na:ncially: to hire- a fulltime traVel-ing· Secreta,ry.'
THE ARC1-I1
Permanent Meeting Place Vetoed'[he .l\JInesicles delegate reported that
his chapter favored a perman~,nt nleetingplace. 1'he opinion of the convention"vas unfavorable to this because they allfelt that the extra expense Incurred atcertain intervals 1110re than paid for itself by the benefit the entertainingchapters received from having the con-
-vention at their house and 'LJ niversity.Also the annual meeting.. at., sQme largerCIty \vhere \ve do not, have a chapterlocated \vould mean the dispensing vviththe ritual work as has been the annualCUStOIl1 at each convention. This convention will cost the active men1bers approxilnately Twelve Dollars each, vvhichIS 'fwo Dollars per lllell1ber under theestilllate set for the California trip. The'l'exas· convention, which ranks next intotal ll1ilage necessary for delegates totravel, cost Nine Dollars per active, theaverage being about Seven Dollars.\tVith the ten chapters, it will mean thatit will be at least eight years before itwill be Dinocrates' or' Andronicus' turnto be hosts again. rrherefore we donot see how a central Ineeting placecould cost less than Seven Dollars percapita per year over a period of eightyears, due to the geographical 10catio!1of our present chapter s.

The long and the short of it was thatwe laid everything aside that lookedlike The A rchi and set sail the follovvingmorning, and drove up here to Dixon,111., spent some little time looking for ahouse nad found it at 514 E. Chalnberlain, St., and then returned to Alton toaid our much better half in packing therest of our belongings (and how theydo accumulate) and lllade a date witha truck line.
The Latch String is OutWe called up the A P X folks in St.
Louis and advised theln of our departurefrolll the 49th state and said good by,inviting them to drop in on us at Dixon.Incidentally that applies to any of thebrethren. Dixon is at the junction ofIllinois routes 2 and 6 (or to put it inother words US 51 and US 30 which isthe Lincoln Highway), 104 Iniles westof Chicago.
The St. LDuis Twins did manage toget up the night before we loaded thevan and the coach. Twenty-four hoursafter the truck left Alton it arrived atDixon, 28~ lniles away. After a fe,,'\}days getting partly settled we left forthe office at Urbana to catch up on thehistory of the new job, a" high schoolthen under way, for about six 'iVeeks.
Enroute to the office we dropped' thewife and small son off at Joliet with relatives and proceeded.

FRATERNITYBy the Old Tin1er
~4 glimpse of a collegiate "LV'aistcoat 'lvith its badges and keys sotneti11'z,es tnoves the O. T. to wonder'll()hich one of the societies represented thereby is reall'J' the 'l('earer)'sfraternity) the rel1tainder being justother organizations.

Bert Thorud IntroducesAmong the fellows we met for the,
first tinle was Ed Lerch, who is withthe United Railways at Rock Island.Ed Was an old acquaintance hovveverthru the postoffice. Johnnie Doak \iVe
met on Sunday morning for the firsttinle, he is with English Bros. on thecall1pus work.
Bob Iv1itchell we met again, delegate~
to the Charlottesville convention will remember him. Robert is novV with Hall l
Lawrence & Ratcliff of Chicago, working under Ralph Hammett, 1Vlnesicles.Of recent classes we saw also John F.English, \vho is ,vith Ihner of 51. Louis,and Kinkaid who reported he was associated with Bartholemew of the saInecity.
Bert Thorud almost knocked us flatwhen he introduced his wife to us.The old batch had failed to report theglad tidings so we were rather taken bysuprise. Hazel 1\!Ioore was the narneand 6-19-28 vvas the day. Bert by theway is sharing offices ,vith Geo. F.Keck.
Lacey Leaves The BoardsFronl Liz Field we learned that Paul
Wicklund, 1\!Inesicles, had returned tothe Windy City- after inspecting SOlllequantity of marble in f process downsouth for the Chicago State bank job.
Ken Lacey was among those presentand advised that he had left the stageand vvas contemplating settling downfor a change. He is headquartering inGary, Ind., and sees Joe Wildernluthconsidet-able. .
A,nd so vve lnet them, SOlne of the oldfriends and brothers and sonle ne,iV.I t was a great time, perhaps the largestcrowd that had' ever returned at oiletilne, they wanted to see the new house.,rrwas vvell worth the trip, too and allseemed \iVell satisfied. As Ed SteubeIlrach of Sheboygan expressed it, "thegang has a house to be proud of."
Back To Mail BoxBut all good,tirnes lllUSt end, by Sun
clay night the gang had all cleared outfor their respective places of abode, except the writer who enjoyed the fello'Vvship of the Anthemios activities forsonle ten days, going back and forth towork with Brother Patterson.
After that we returned to Dixon viaJoliet and plunged into a whirl ofactivity on the job, relieving our pinchhitter. Good weather conditions perIllitted steady 'work right up to Christ~
nlas and in the whirl were shop dra\v::ings and what " : not, plus ',fltl' andThanksgiving and Christrnas and all,
In all this The Archi had to take a~ack ?eat and the mail box got to' bulgIng nght pert smart. Conditions werestich th~t we were unable to get to theco~ven~lo'n, but there was this compensatIon It cut the cost of the conventionfor the active boys anyway. So here isthe November issue, late. The ,~V. ' G.A. will have to tell the story of the convention in the]anuary issue.

"Pop" Ely, W~ G. A., arrived on Saturday morning, but he canbe excuseddwe suppose due to illness inhis family.. It Was the Night Before Convention
The time between arrivals and thetheater party Friday evening 'vvas spentin sight-seein g -mostly around LosAngeles and Hollvwood. This theaterparty was one of the high spots'of theConvention. The party was held at the\tTine Street Theater 'in Hollvvvood andthe tittle of the-- p~ay" was '.'Her Card-
board Lover," starring Ed\vard EverettHorton. SOl1le of the delegates, especially the "Three Musketeers" vvereof the unaninlous opinion that the felualelead was deserving of the stellar honors,but then after all their opinions were always hotly contested and perhaps theywere wrong. "Perhaps," we say!Nevertheless everyone thoroughly enjoyed thenlselves.
Formal Dinner DanceThe next morning at 9:00 the Con

music and entertainment. On one sideof the living room and hall thru theFrench doors could be heard the roar ofthe ocean \\raves pounding on the beach,and on the other side thru the windowscould be seen the open patio with its
i fountain and tiled floor and '''Ping-Pong''table. Suffice it to say that the guests,including the Andronicus actives~ pledgesand alumni, all had a most wonderfultilne and were very unwilling to nlakefor home when the "Holne Waltz" vvasplayed.
A Visit to the Famed "Mission Inn"Sunday lnorning early 3.11 the delegates
