THE ADVENTURE OF THE MIND

By the Reverend Charles D . Spotts

National Chaplain

Man is the only creature on our planet which possesses mind. Other higher animals do have brains and can think in an elementary fashion, a kind of thinking which is made possible by instinct, memory and habit. Man, a lone, can engage in creative thinking in the highest sense. The mind is that aspect of a human person which can respond to all aspects of reality.

By the use of the mind, man engages in the scientific approach to knowledge. During recent centuries man has used the scientific method of investigation in making discoveries which are almost incredible. The story of science in the modern world is an exciting one. It may be, as some leading scientists assert, tha t science is really only in its infancy. Tremendous adventures lie ahead as advancing science discovers more and more about the nature of reality.

Man's mind is not limi ted to the use of the physical senses. Much genuine knowledge comes by intuition, rather than through sensory perception. Some philosophers go so far as to suggest that intuition is ultimately the most important source of the knowledge that is worth while. The human mind is really mysterious ; no one will ever know how much knowledge is actually intuitive rather than sensory.

There is an additional kind of knowledge which comes to man only through revelation. M an is definitely capable of knowing God and, at least, some aspects of God's purpose. This knowledge transcends sensory perception and intuition.

Life becomes rea lly meaningful to the extent to which it includes all possible adventures of the mind.

Report To the

of the Notionol Secretory-Treosurer Thirty-Seventh Notionol Convention

By Jack L. Anson

Phi Kappa Tau is today at an all-time high in its history. And this is as it should be. With each year that passes, we should grow and develop. Let us review our pro­gress and plans for the future.

There are today 71 active chapters and three colonies. We are welcoming today two chapters that have been insta lled since our meeting in 1962 . Those chapters are Gamma Iota a t Sacramento Sta te College and Gamma K appa at C . W. Post College. We a lso have as our guests and participants representatives of two of our three colonies- East Central State Col­lege at Ada, Oklahoma, and Central Michigan University at Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The third colony is Bradley University in Peoria, Il linois. We extend to these new chapters and to our colonies a hearty welcome.

STATISTICS

The total number of initiates through May 31, 1964 was 31 ,369. Of this number, 1,565 members are deceased, 654 have either been expelled, suspended or have volunta ri ly withdrawn, giving us 29,150 living members of Phi Kappa T au. In the past two years, 3,445 men have been p ledged and 2,265 have been initia ted a t our chapters.

NATI ONAL OFFICERS

I want to publicly recognize and express appreciation to the nationa l officers who have served Phi K appa T au during the past two years. We have been exceedingly fortunate in our volunteer officers who serve without pay and who contribute a great amount of time, leadership and knowledge, and in many cases of their ovvn funds. Of particula r import has been our National President, Dr. W. A. Hammond, who has undertaken a program of chapter visitations that is unexcelled in the fra­ternity world. His contributions have in-

SUMMER • 1964

deed been great. The National Council has provided di rection and leadership in an outstanding manner. The domain chiefs have provided continuity and guidance of a high order.

Few persons wil l probabl y ever realiz the devotion of the members of our H ous­ing Committee. H eaded by R eid A. Mor­gan, who is our National H ousing and Financia l Adviser, the committee, who e members a re F . LaVerne M cKin ley and Francis J. F lynn, ha held one weekend meeting and carri ed on a continuing cor­respondence in their supreme effort to assist chapters with housing programs. We are deeply indebted to these men.

To Educational Di rector Ben E. David and to National Chaplain Charles D. Spotts, we owe a debt of gratitude for their devotion to their duties as national officers of Phi K appa Tau.

And to the Central Office staff. \1\ e were indeed fortunate in November of 1962 when Lawrence H . McDaniel joined the Central Office staff as our a lum ni secretary. Larry's program has met " ·ith good success and the efforts of his labor are beginning to sho\1· in our program of alumni relations.

The field secreta ries haYe been uperior. Michael J. R aleigh, who is completing his third year as a fi eld secretary, i leaYing us on June 30. Mike's wedding date i next Tuesday. H e has accepted a position at the U niversity of Southern California starting in August and will en ·e as ad­viser to frate rnities on that campus while continuing his education . R obert D . Leatherman, who has sen ·ed so capably for two years as a fi eld ecretary and for the last year as a sistant editor of Th Laurel, is leaving us late thi ummer and will enter law chool. We will mi th abi li ties of Mike and Bob.

We have fi,·e ladie on ou r ec retarial sta ff a t the entral Office. Their efficien y and loyalty ha\'e been out tanding. Two of them are here today- Mr . Jo Wi ecup, our office manager, and Mr . Perr ran­mer, who is in charge of our initiation and membersh ip record .

OFFICE OPERATJO"'

Each year the work-load in the .entral Office increases. The piece of correspond­ence, the letter written, the newslett r publish d, a ll eem to m ultiply. A rough e tima te of piece of mai l sent from the Centra l Office wou ld b well over 150,000 in the pa t twelve months. I know of no fra ternity that provide the en ,ices that Phi Kappa Tau does for it chapter ! vVe have been publishing newsletters for chap­ter for yea rs. This yea r, the nu mber in­creased again. This publication servic i­un ique in fraterniti es. The a sistance gi,·en by our field secretaries in programm ing is rare. And only four other fraternitie have a lumni secretarie as full-time em­ployees. All of these factors add to the work-load, and it is as it hould be.

FINANCES

The fin ances of the fraternity are m good condition. The total as ets of Phi Kappa Tau as of M ay 31, 1964 were $466, 107.29. The fraternity has been op­erating with a sl ight gain each yea r since the necessa ry increase in pledge and initia­tion fees was approved by the 1962 con­vention. Attached to this report, which will be distributed, is a financial tatement of the fraternity for the first eleven month of this fi sca l year. The bu lk of the net worth of the na tiona l fraternity is invested in loans to hapters. Thi sum, as of M ay 31, 1964, vvas $314,600.13. Even v ith thi large amount of money loaned to 26 chap­ter we still have need for consiclerablv mor money t make :lVai labl to chap'­t rs for improv d hou ing.

THE CHAPTER

The chapter of Phi Kappa Tau are tronger in generaJ , now than the haYe

ever been. There are chap ter that are in difficulty but I do not ee a inrrle one that will not impro,·e during th cominrr year. At no time in our hi tory have we had a many unde rrrraduate member .

Our cholar hip i a t an all-tim hirrh. cventy per cent of our chap ter were

equa l to or abo,·e the a ll-m n' av rage on their campu for the Ia t compl t year for which grade ha,·c been compil d . This is an indication of greater stability within the chapt r . In fac t, there i no major fra t rnity tha t we normally onsid r a competition that rank ahead o f Phi K ap­pa Tau in chola r hi p.

Our housing is improving. It i a I w proce in many ca es but ca h year thcr ar a few b a utiful new buildings con-tructecl by the cha pter of Phi K appa

Tau. And thi i < n a rea where we nc d to con entra te our efforts b cause Phi K appa T a u cannot be jucl ~ccl upcrior until every haptcr i adequate ly hou d .

EXPA N JON

When con iclering chap ter , w m u t look to the future and to expan ion. \\'e have three colon ic now. These arc excel­lent chools and have grea t prom ise a chapters of Phi K appa Tau. But we must continue to seek out such groups. Our goaJ is to expand by the addition of fine groups in ou t tanding in titution to a point where \\'e ha ,·e I 00 active chapter . This must be cl one by growing a t a rate of three or four chapters each year. This can be clone " ·ithou t slacking off on our visitation program to chapter a lready in existence. Our pro pects at this time arc excellent but competition is keen. E,·ery fraternity i expanding. Our staff member make visit to likely schools and local fra­ternitie . We need the continuing help of undergraduate and a lumni to alert u and to ,,·ork \\'ith u in expansion .

THE FUT RE

In recent vear. ,,·e hav read and h rei much about· the futur of frat rniti . Man of ur riti ay tha t ur cia· number d . u h, 111 m ' pini n, i. n t

THE L U El

the ca e. Today there arc more fraternity chapters than there have ever been. And the number i growinrr every year. New chools are opening and developing fra­

ternity systems on their campuses. Some older schools that have never had frater­nity chapters have opened their doors to national fraternities. Where chapters have dropped by the wayside, it has in almost e\·ery case been the fault of the fraternity itself. I believe our future for Phi Kappa Tau is bright. But it will not automatically be so. It will take the hard, diligent work of all of us, and many more not here today, to make it so.

And to insure that future, I want to make some proposals for your consider­ation.

1. We need to make our chapter operations more efficient and stop wasting time. There is very little time to spare in the college day. There is no time to waste in un­necessary, inefficient procedures of operation within the fraternity chapter. Put you r chapter finances in order, make certain your budget is adequate and 'mrkable, collect your accounts due from members. Make certain your officers are tra ined and effi cient and that they perform their duties.

2. Let's modernize! The major criti­cism of fraternitie is the pledge training: prorrram that is not con­structive. Antiquated, nonsensical stunts and project , hazing and all of its evils must be removed from our chapter life. We must educate our pledges for membership in Phi K appa Tau and as citizens. W e have had disciplinary action taken against chapters this year by school for old-fashioned p ledge training acti vities that Phi Kappa Tau outlavved years ago when it unanimously abolished ' ' H e 11 Weeks".

3. Let's set some uoals! Every chapter needs a set of goals and objectives. If we have a purpose to serve in the education world as undergrad­uates, let's go about it with a plan. These goal serve a a guide to the future.

SUMMER • 1964

The frat rnity system IS onstantly changing and will ontinuc to change as ti111e passes. Th syst m of ducation has changed considerably and it, too, will con­tinue to change. With the chang s taking place about us, we, too, must be urrent in our thinking, in our plans, and in our activities. If we operate efficiently, if we train our pledges properly, if we have solid goals and objectives, the future will indeed be bright for Phi Kappa Tau.

Merow Named

and Gage Are Domain Chiefs

David W. Merow, R ensselaer, and By­ron P. Gage, Idah o, two past presidents of their chapters, have been appointed domain chiefs for the fraternity.

A regional officer for the fraternity, the domain chief in Phi K appa Tau is a vol­unteer officer who contributes much time to the chapters in his area. The nation is divided into twelve domains with a domain chief for each.

Akron Wins Convention Achievement Contest

H ere's Donald Varian's Talk

Alpha Phi chapter of Akron University has had a banner year in all areas of fra­ternity activities while maintaining a spirit of brotherhood which has united our chapter into a sound pro perou and growing fra ternity.

We feel pledging is the life blood of any fraternity and must be maintained on a high level every year. In keeping with this tradition, we took a fine Fall pledge clas of fifteen men and an ou t­standing Spring pledge class, including the president of the M en' Dorms, two members of tudent Council, the Out­standing Pledge on campus and the pledge with the top schola ti c average. The Phi Delta Theta chapter on our campus, which was voted the outstand­ing Phi Delt chapter in the nation last year, has always been in competition vvith Alpha Phi chapter for the top fresh­men men. This Spring we pledged 25 quality men to their twelve. Our Spring pledges completed the year with six men over a 3.00 point and a 2.6 overall ac­cumulative average, making a total of 38 initiated for the year, out of 40 pledged.

Alpha Phi has been outstanding in both intramural and varsity a thletics . This year we never finished below second in any major intramural sport. Our varsity a th letes include seven football players, four out of the seven tennis players and members of the swimming and track teams, and baseball. I have to remember that basebal l. We have one member, and he's pretty big!

Last year we were instrumental in forming a new campus politica l party, whose president was a Phi Tau. Our ef­fort enabled us to nominate and elect a ll seven members of Phi Tau. This year we maintained it by having more mem­ber on Student Council than any other fra tern ity on campus. Our political party took 32 of 37 ats.

Alpha Phi chapter at Akron m ersity

D onald l "arian, Akron

has produced many of the calllpus lead­ers this year. Phi Tau on campu include the president of the outstanding men' honor society, Omicron D elta Kappa, the student chairman and secretary of In­ternship for Civic Education, president of the Beta Delta Psi Business honorary, last year's yearbook king, the Air Force ROTC Executive Officer, the Student Center Board's Activities Chairman. The Outstanding Greek Man on Campus we just received, which we are very happy to get. It wa probably the bigge t thing on campus. And we had even freshman counselors, which was again more than. any other fraternity or sorority on cam­pus. As you can see, Alpha Phi is well represented in all area of fraternity activities.

Scholarship, ""hich ha al\\"ay be n tressed at Alpha Phi chapter re ult d

with 21 men above a three point, which wa more than any other group on an1-pu . We feel this is quit an a omplish­ment when ou on id r that ther he not b en on fraternit ' n our ampu,

THE L UREL

below the All-Men's Average in three years.

We have a lso gained national prom­inence with our tradition of inviting com­munity leaders, both business and politi­cal, and university officials to our Mon­day meals. We sort of talk to them about things they feel about fraternities and it gives us a little insight into business and political life once we get out of college.

Our Fall social program was high­lighted by the innovation of a Women Haters' Week which attracted not only campus but city-wide attention as a Phi Tau first. Our social calendar's brightest spot is our annual Dream Girl formal dinner dance, the only formal dinner dance on campus. Late in May another Alpha Phi tradition takes place, our Hawaiian Luau done in true H awaiian decor with Hawaiian food, clothes and setting.

Phi Kappa Tau is recognized as the campus leader in supporting Akron Uni­versity varsity athletics. For example, 51 brothers went over 500 miles to support our basketball team at the NCAA Na­tional Championships in Evansville, In­diana, at which we took second place for small colleges of the nation.

This leads us to Alpha Phi's strongest point of fraternalism and brotherhood. Whether it is going out for drinking Fri­day night, or supporting a football team, or participating in a community project, Alpha Phi does things together. This was evident in last year's May Day competi­tion.

May Day Float Competition is the ma­jor interfraternity competition and we all build a float . That year Alpha Phi took first place. This wasn' t because of an in­dividual effort, but• because of a solid group performance.

I

Alpha Phi has t'eached the point of being looked up to on campus and we feel this has instilled in us a feeling of pride to maintain this position. I have talked of but one year at Alpha Phi chapter, a very prosperous one, but by no means a stopping point. We have started to climb a mountain in which there is no summit. We will strive higher, united, as brothers of Phi Kappa Tau.

Leadership School Is

Studied by Committee Recognizing a need that has existed

for some time, Phi K appa Tau at the 1964 national convention, took initial steps to institute a tra ining program for undergraduate officers of the chapters.

National President Lou Gerding has named two members of the rational Council to a committee to study possible programming and finan cing of the work­shop.

Mel Dettra, Ohio Stat e, has been de­ignated to study contents and program­ming of a conference whi le Donald E. Lease, Miami, has been asked to consider various means of financing the project.

Assistant National Secretary William D. J enkins will serve as administrator for the committee, and, if the program is approved, for the workshop.

It is anticipated that the study and planning will be extensive and it is an­ticipa ted tha t the first workshop will be held in the summer of 1967.

·Most national fraternities the 1ze of Phi Kappa Tau or larger have similar programs. Their workshops are known a Officers' Conferences, Academies, Lead­ership Seminars or by similar names. The objectives of the workshops are to pro ide knowledge of fraternity operation indi­vidual leadership training, instruction in the regulations and procedures of the fra­ternity and its history and traditions. The meetings last from three to fi ve da s and are held durin <T the summer, usually on a college can1pus. Attendance is composed of three to fi ve undergraduate office from each chap ter.

Phi K appa Tau' committee " ·ill tucly whether or not need exi ts for a \\"Ork­shop, the contents of the program the faculty, the most fea ible time, the length of the workshop, who would a ttend . where it would be held and the co t and m an of fin ancing the proj ect.

The committee will ubmit its prelim­inary report at the 1965 meetin<T of the National Council.

Fraternity,Sorority Exhibit at World's Fair

Theme is "Young Partners in Free Enterprise"

Vi itors at the New York World' Fair vievved the special fra ternity and sorority exhibit on display in the Hall of Free Enterprise for a three-week period this past summer. The exhibit was sponsored jointly by the ational Panhellenic Con­ference and the Nationai Interfra ternity Conference in cooperation with the American Economic Foundation, which erected the Hall of Free Enterprise to dramatize the basic principles of free economics in our modern society in a simple, understandable manner for the average man.

To help explain the exhibit to visitors, 19 hostesses and hosts chosen from among the staffs of various national fraternity and sorority headquarters were assigned during the three-week period.

In keeping with the general theme of the Hall of Free Enterprise, the fra ternity and orority exhibit was entitled: "Young Partner in Free Enterprise." A leafl et expla ining the ix basi values of fra ter­na l life was specia lly prepar d for the oc­cas i n and d i tributed to visitor vi w-

ing the display. The six value - loyalty, training, scholarship, standards, manage­ment, and citizenship - formed the basis for the various display panels in the exhibit.

In its preface, the leaflet pointed out that "millions of men and women have shared in the educational experience of membership in a college fraternity or sorority - an experience that continues to pay dividends in later life. For these voluntary organizations, with chapters in hundreds of univer ity and college campu es, represent the true pirit of free enterprise. They bring together young people of diverse intere ts working to­wards a common goal.'

The Successful Organization of An Alumni Association

The Story of the Greater Washington, D. C., Group

By R ichard S. Will, Muhlenberg

The Grea ter Washington Area Phi Kap­pa Tau Alumni Association, organized on April 12, 1964, at a dinner meeting in the Embassy Room of the District of Colum­bia's Broadmoor Hotel, saw one of the most successful beginnings in the history of the fraternity.

The festivities began with a social hour at which members of many of the fra­ternity chapters gathered for the renewal of old acquaintances as well as the begin­ning of many new ones. In attendance were Honored Founder Taylor A. Bor­radaile, National Alumni Secretary Law­rence H. McDaniel and eighty-six other Phi Tau's now residing in the Washington, D . C., area. Among this group were numbered twenty-six men from the R esi­dent Counci l of the Beta Omicron chapter at the University of M aryland.

The formal program commenced with an invocation by the Beta Omicron chap­ter R esident Counci l chaplain . An excel­lently prepared Swiss Steak dinner was then served and enjoyed by a ll. The meal was catered by BTauns, whose reputation as an official U.S. State Department and Government Agency caterer is unsurpassed in the Washington area.

Immediately following dinner the head table was introduced by Brother Richard Will, Muhlenberg, '63 . Present were Dr. Edward L. Everitt, Penn State, '30, past president of the Washington Alumni As­sociation ; David W. M erow, R ensselaer, '59, president of Rho Chapter Graduate Council ; Lawrence H. M cDaniel, Georgia ; National Alumni Secretary; Honored Founder and Special Guest, Taylor A. Borradaile, Miami, '08; C. Ricardo Ham­ilton, Maryland, '63, past president of Beta Omicron and now chairman of the Board

of Governors of that group and R oss E . Roeder, Michigan State, '60, past field secretary and also a member of the Beta Omicron chapter's Board of Governors.

The group was then privi leged to hear an inspiring address by T aylor A. Bor­radaile, who recounted the circumstances which surrounded the founding of Phi Kappa Tau as well as the situations which fostered the growth and prosperity which the fra ternity enjoys today.

Having been made aware of the past, Alumni Secretary Larry M cDaniel spoke of the fraternity today and of its projected expansion. At the conclusion of his talk Brother McDaniel called upon the chair­man of the Nominating Committee, D r. Edward L. Everitt. Elected, by acclama­tion, for the coming year were Richard S. Will, president ; Charles E. Schauss, Flor­ida State, vice president; Gordon G. Ovington, K ent State, '53, secretary and Douglas A. Nemier, M aryland, 63, treas­urer.

Proceeding to the next order of busine s the membership gave unanimous approval to a resolution giving offici a l birth to the Associa tion and embodying its threefold purpose:

1. To furth er the interest of the Phi K a ppa T au Fraternity and it individual chapters.

2. To provide a common social meetina ground for members of the Phi K appa T au Fraternity residing in or vi iting the Washington, D . C., area.

3. To preserve the ideal and principle of the College Greek Fraternit y tern in America today.

The original idea to form the Ja-tion came from an article in th 1963 issue of The Laurel. I

Pa11e 21

pressing interest and requesting informa­tion was sent to the Alumni ecretary by E. K enneth Carta, Muhlenberg, 63, (who has since moved from the Washington Area) and Richard Will. The organiza­tion itself wa primarily due to the effort of Brothers Hamilton, Roeder and Will. Tentative plans were formulated m a December, 1963, meeting with Field Secretary Robert D. Leatherman and David M erow recently appointed Domain Chief of Domain 3. After more formal a rrangem nt were made, a 1 tter wa ent to over 500 fraternity members re iding in the Wa hington, orthern Virainia and Maryland area . There pone wa gratify­ina and in tota l over 175 replys wer received, not on ly from member living in the area, but from throughout the country and as fa r away a Viet am.

A second mailing, in the form of a po t card reminder, was sent to each person approximately three week before the a f­fair and at fina l count 62 Phi Taus had made re ervations for the banqu et.

M ember of the Beta Omicron chap ter expressed an interest in the proceedings and it was decided to hold a combined Founders' Day Banquet and Alumni A -socia tion Organizational M eetina. The Brother and P ledges of Beta Omicron gave inva luable assistance by making name tags, arranging floral settings for the tables and providing a colorful touch in the form of fra ternity flags and welcome signs.

In a ttendance at the banquet and pres­en t at the head table was Dr. Edward L. Everitt. "Doc·' had for many years been president of the Washington Area Alumni Association which became inactive in 1955. The present officers have agreed gladly to work clo ely with "Doc" to ee that the tradition of the previous association be retai ned.

At the concl usion of the e\·enings fe -ti\·ities, 44 of tho e in a ttendence added formal support to the organiza tion by pa ing the two dolla r annual due fixed by 1najorit~ · vote, a nd the la test ount show. over eighty member .

The a o iation ha been e tabli heel primarily for the benefit of Phi Tau living in the Washincrton, D. ., Northern Virginia and uburban Maryland area including Baltimore, but any member of the fraternity is welcome to join partici­pate and receive all ociation new let­ters, formally named th "Alumnote ." It i al o hoped that any memb r of th fraternity moving to or vi iting in the Washinoton, D. . area will feel free to contact any officer of the a o ia tion, not only to in ur tha t they receive informa­tion concerning th as o iation, but a l o to acq uire genera l information about the area, including living a commodation ,

The President's Message

Dear Brothers:

May I say to one and all, and particularly to each of you in attendance at the convention in Boulder, that I feel highly honored to have been chosen as president of our great fraternity, and I shall try to keep up the high standards of those who have served before me.

Since one's time is rather limited, may I take this opportunity of thanking each of you for the fine letters I have received since the convention.

You all know and realize that we have one of the best staffs to work with in the national fraternity setup today-Please feel free to make use of the Central Office Staff whenever needed.

I know you a ll agree with me that our national officers and particularly the National Council spend many hours working for all of us and they too often are overlooked when it comes to the passing out of a bit of praise. May I, please, for all of us just give these fellows a pat on the back.

Lastly, let's give all our Resident Council Officers, each respective Graduate Council and a ll our interested alumni a special pat on the back and say-keep up the good work, brothers!

All in a ll, the future looks brighter all the time and I hope each and every­one of you wi ll help our fraternity maintain it's deserved place among national fraternities.

Fraternally yours,

~~~~ LOU GERDING National President
