The lllin i Union building is the newest structure on the University of Ill inois campus. It is a center for student, faculty, alumni, and visitor activity. The $1,500,000 building was opened Feb. 8, 1941. In design and treatment it was inspired by the colonial architecture of restored Williamsburg, Va. The old chapel bell and clock in the cupola are from University hall, early Un:versity of Illinois building, which stood near the

spot now occupied by the Union.

WHEN the War Committee reported to the National Inter-fraternity Conference

on November 28, 1941 , Canada had been at war for more than two years. The United States had not yet enter­ed the great conflict. Our report was therefore little more than a sum­mary of the avenues through which the fraternities in the United States had been contributing to the defense program. A separate report was made to the Conference by a committee which had studied the Canadian aspect of fraternity life in relation to war.

The declaration of war by the United States against Japan, Ger­many and Italy brought new and serious problems to the 2,500 fratern­ity chapters on the North American continent.

A widespread demand for the pre­sentation of suggested solutions of the questions arising out of the in­evitable departure of men from un­dergraduate fraternity life to serve their country has prompted the publi­cation of this special bulletin. It was prepared by the War Committee of the Conference, in consultation with college and university officers and with fraternity leaders. It bears

2

the approval of the Executive Com­mittee, the ad interim administrative body of the Conference. It should be regarded as merely a preliminary, ex­ploratory survey, subject to many changes as we march down the corri­dor of time to victory.

The Fraternities in the First World War

The history of the participation of college fraternity men in the first World War is a bright page in the annals of devotion of educated men to the ideals which had been instill­ed in them at their altars. The Canadian fraternity men were the first, of course, to respond in 1914. Many chapters in the Dominion were almost completely drained of man power.

When the United States took up arms in 191 7 the college Greeks mov­ed rapidly to join the colors. In some instances entire chapters signed up for the duration. Many houses were closed or rented to non-mem­bers and often several groups com­bined lodging and boarding facilities, maintaining, of course, their own ritualistic procedures.

The Student Army Training Corps came to many campuses. The Greek-

You~rco~he _answer to this all-important question IJ?sitions 1 mJtt~e _has turned to two citizens whose give cou of d1stmction eminently qualify them to

nsel. llrigact·

Of Se!ect/er-Gen~ral Lewis B. Hershey, Director the folio v~ Serv1ce in the United States, has issued . ''l thi~~ng special statement for this report:

g1llning t ~hat the recent trend of events is be-0 Impress one fact on our minds with

greater and greater force. That fact is not a pleasant fact and it is a fact that is divorced from romanticism. • "The fact is this: We are fighting

a war unlike any other war we have fought, because no war we have ever fought before has demanded, to such an enormous extent, cooperation be­tween the troops in the field and the men and women who must be dele­gated to stay at home to supply the sinews of war for fighting troops and to care for the needs of the civilian population.

"The theory of Selective Service is in no way complicated. The the­ory is as simple as A.B.C. It is pred­icated on the principle that in a war such as we are now fighting every person has his place. That place is where he will be able to accomplish the most toward the common objec­tive-TOTAL VICTORY.

"It is not for me to say which of you, as individuals, should be called to the armed forces and which of you ~hould stay and complete your col­lege courses.

"But it would appear plain enough that patriotism-real patriotism, sans maudlin sensationalism - demands that you stick with your present job and stick with it hard and work with it hard and give it all you have got -until such time as your local Selec­tive Service Board decides that you can serve your country more effec­tively in some other pursuit."

The Financial Problem The Archilles heel of the fraternity

in wartime is finances. The giddy '20s brought to many a college cam­pus mortgaged mansions of magnif­icence. It became a fashion to keep up with the Gammas, come what cost. The depression of the '30s took its toll of Hellenic houses, but a very large percentage survived and there still remains the Ogre of Fixed Charges. How can the monster be outwitted with the ranks of the home guard depleted?

The strategy is not complicated. It is simply a determined effort to maintain a house strength wh:ch will carry the budget and to reduce the budget to the lowest possible amount without impairing vital functioning.

How maintain house strength? Your committee makes no claim

to all-inclusiveness in the following suggestions, but they may point the way to other techniques:

4

The most important objective of fraternities in these days of more difficult recruiting is the making of fraternity life more purposeful and hence more attractive to tho~e who are considering membership. The yesteryear of excessive bridge-play­mg and soft-chair calisthenics has passed. The slogan is now "Off your own beam and on Victory's beam! " Three dots on the past and a dash for real achievement.

If _YOU stay on the defensive, you are ltcked. Get on the offensive now!

The accelerated educational pro­grams, with new men entering college at various times during the year, make rushing an all-season pur­suit. Rushing regulations should be examined with a view to meeting the new situation. Long periods of de­ferred pledging may have to be short­ened on all campuses.

Earlier initiations should be made possible, so that the new men may sooner be ~chooled in the technique of chapter administration. Where certain academic achievement has been a pre-requisite to initiation either by college regulation, chapte; action or interfraternity agreement, consideration should be given to the possibility of advancing initiation to the end of the first marking period. Your War Comm:ttee does not wish to minimize the importance of main­taining standards in scholarship, but it points out emph~tically that this is a time of war.

On every campus there are men who would make good fraternity men who have not received invitations. The highways and the by-ways of Academe fhould be scoured for such recruits. In some colleges the deans have helped by sending out question­naires to non-fraternity men, ask"ng them if they would like to join a fraternity and th:!n turn·ng over the affirmative replies to the chairmen of the rushing committees.

Once recruited, the pledge delega­tion should be thoroughly schooled in a concentrated novitiate training course, so that the new men may know and appreciate the worth and mores of the organization to which they are to swear their allegiance and which they are soon to serve as officers and committee chairmen as older men leave for the armed forces.

THE STAR AND Ll•t-4' OF

One of the first results of our entry

into the War came from consideration

of the plans for holding the Twenty-first

Supreme Chapter in Washington, D. C. in August, 1942. Upon authority of a

National Council reso lution, a pole was

conducted among the subordinate chap­

ters on the question of

postponing this meeting

for the duration. Though

the results of this poll

hove been known for many

weeks and have been pub­

lished through an Official

BuJJ·etin to chapter offi­

cers, they were not avail­

able at the time the last

issue of the Star & Lamp

went to press. It may now be reported that the chap­

ters voted unanimously to postpone the

Supreme Chapter meeting for the dura­

tion of the war or until such earlier date

as the National Council may find neces­

sary. This action, in face of today's

events, has proved to be the wise and

patriotic move. A few chapters recommended that

Ot Pi KAPPA PHI

consideration be g1ven to a plan for

sponsoring district or regional conclaves,

pointing out the good such meetings can

do in bolstering morale. Though this idea

is a most worthy one in many respects,

the rapid adjustments that have become

part and parcel of daily chapter and per-

sonal life have reacted

against active considera­

tion of it. Hence nothing

conclusive about it can

be reported at this time.

The fraternity expresses

its a p pre cia t ion and

thanks to the many mem­

bers of our Washington,

D. C., Alumni Chapter for

the fine spirit with which

they have accepted post­

ponement. They had planned diligently

for the meeting and, we know, would have

made it a most memorable one for all of

us. We wish particularly to thank general

charrman Ben W . Covington, Jr., for his

untiring efforts. Brother Covington, a

captain of infantry, is soon to leave

Washington for active field duty in our armed forces.

HAVE you been waiting for your alumni province chair­

' man to ask you for your Vol­untary Dues Check? Wait No long­er. Send it in today to the Central Office.

Chairmen have been named in many of the provinces. Some are hard at work on their assignments. Others have barely scratched the sur­face. All are busy. All will appre­ciate your efforts in your own com­munities.

New Englanders should get in touch with Brother George Turainx of Boston. George is a member of Alpha Xi and is managing director of the Hotel Touraine in that city. He gets little time these days to pur­sue his favorite hobby, hunting, so give him a hand.

Residents of New York State look to the leadership of Larry ]. Bolvig of Brooklyn. Another Alpha Xi alumnus, Larry is an executive in the Plant Division of New York Telephone Co. He is a pretty darn good amateur singer and welcomes the opportunity of having you "sing" with him in this drive for Voluntary Dues. His address, 259, 77th Street.

Pennsylvania Pi Kapps are being rounded up by Alpha Upsilon's Johnny Deimler. A great deal of the spare time from his important war job with New York Shipbuild­ing Co. is spent on fraternity work, as he is also chapter adviser of Alpha Upsilon and an officer of the Phila­delphia alumni. You can reach him at 228 Long Lane, Upper Darby.

Edward L. Tolson, Jr. of Mu is spearheading the alumni attack in Province 5. Residing at 315 Glen­wood Road, Bethesda, Md., Eddie is responsible for the States of Mary­land and Delaware and the District of Columbia. His hobby, photog­raphy ; his business, government de­fense work. Get in touch with him.

In West Virginia we look to Wal-

ter E. Eisele, Alpha Xi, R. F. D. No. 2, Box 70, Charleston. Walt is attached to a chemical company working full time on war orders but finds time to call all Pi Kapps to the firing line.

The one !ind only Wilbur D. White (of Blue and Gray fame) heads alumni activities in South Carolina. His home is in Green­ville where he may be addressed at Box 1077. As clerk of the Federal Court he travels extensively in the State and last year saw his province lead all others in number of men con­tributing Voluntary Dues. Wilbur is a member of Zeta Chapter and active in the affairs of the Greenville Alumni Chapter.

Kennon Mott of Lambda is the spark plug of Georgia. From his home in Columbus he is extremely active in the local alumni chapter visits the lads at Alpha Iota in Au~ burn, typifies the spirit which is car­rying Pi Kappa Phi to the forefront of fraternities at war. Ken may be reached at Box 841.

Alabamans look to Henry S. Smith Jr., Alpha Eta, of Birmingham. Ac~ tive as president of his alumni chap­ter and busy as a retailer of fuel for the home fires of his city, he has tackled the job of making Province 12 stand among the leaders in the alumni work. His address is 820 North 31st Street.

In the mountains of east Ten­nessee we find Scott N. Brown, Epsi­lon, handling the job of province chairman for Province 13. Scott is a leading figure in the civic life of Chattanooga where he is president of a real estate association. His of­fice is at 719 Walnut Street. There he will gladly greet any and all Pi Kapps who chance his way. Go by and see him or drop him a line.

KAPPA PHI

Last school year Pi Kappa Phi en­joyed one of the best years it has experienced since the mid-twenties. Though our chapter roll had been cut considerably by the depression, fndividual chapter strength was gen­erally equal to the challenge of any previous period in our history. In planning for the present year our Na­tional Council anticipated weakening of the numerical strength of many of our chapters. They anticipated many of the financial difficulties which the chapters have been en­countering. A few chapters have al­ready been seriously affected by membership losses, but on the whole they have to date maintained their strength rather well. As this is writ­ten the number of initiates recorded this year is running slightly ahead of last year's record. The total under­graduate membership of the Fra­ternity is not far below that recorded at the same time last spring.

By JOHN H. McCANN

Executive Secretary ·

We may say that we have entered this war very nearly at peak strength, for in addition to the above facts we can take comfort from the knowl­edge that our alumni are more vitally aware of fraternity activities, and our financial house is in the best posi­tion it has occupied in over·a decade.

Although all of this is particularly gratifying, it gives no ground for complacency about the future. The impact of War Economy is just be­ginning to be felt. All estimates of the future hinge upon the trend of college enrollments. No one knows how they will be affected. The only prudent course is to expect a marked decline in the number of men taking college work. In terms of rushing that means fraternities will face stiff­er competition for pledges. In terms of operations it means we shall face many difficult financial adjustments.

What are the colleges doing to meet the demands of war? No two of them are following the same plan but it is possible to make some gen~ era! observations about the adjust­ments they have made. We know of no institutions that have not ac­celerated their programs to some ex­tent. In a very few this accelera­tion has been limited to plans for

7

spending date of graduation for pres­ent juniors and seniors. Most of them have gone much farther and are planning to accept new enrollees at the first of any quarter or semes­ter, including the summer sessions beginning this June. Acceleration plans can be broadly classified as fol­lows: (a) schools which will operate four full quarters, 12 months of the year, and permit graduation in three years; (b) schools which will operate three full semesters, each from 15 to 16 weeks duration, and permit grad­uation in two and two thirds to three years; and (c) schools which will operate two semesters with an ex­tended summer session and permit graduation in three years.

Let us not build up potential "bugaboos" to detract from the effec­tiveness with which we do our job, but let us face the fact that we shall be meeting many serious problems

with a depleted undergraduate per­sonnel whose average age will be low­er than in normal times as a result of upper class contributions of men to our armed forces and to industry. College acceleration places the oper­ations of many of our chapters on a twelve month basis. They will need all the counsel and aid alumni are in position to give.

Though these are trying days for us all, though each one of them brings much that is emotionally dis­turbing, we know and you know that our love for Pi Kappa Phi and our devotion to our ideals will carry us through the most trying ordeals. The manner in which undergraduates have already tackled their problems proves that they recognize they must stand or fall on their own ability and initi­ative. They intend to stand. The way in which alumni are taking hold of advisory jobs demonstrates their

Wheeler Leeth, Tide center, was given credit by most of his team­mates for the winning of the upset victory over the Vols. His sensa­tional backboard recovery kept the Vols from getting away on any of their famous scoring sprees, and his ardent guarding held the Tennessee high scorer, Dick Mehen, to a total of four points on the night after he

Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1942

IT IS now time that all candidates for the honor of Pi Kappa Phi Scholar for 1942 turn in their

scholarship records to the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee. Schol­arship blanks have been sent out to the Secretary of each chapter for the use of candidates. In order to b_e a candidate one must be an ac­tiVe undergraduate in the second semester of the junior year or a seni­or, and the scholarship record should be at least as good as is requested for eltx:~ion to Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta P1 , or some other similar or­ga!lization maintaining high scholar­ship standards for admission. This standard is necessary since a maxi­mum of nine Scholars must be picked from a total of possibly five hun­dred junior and senior active mem­bers ~n . our fra~ernity. Accordingly selectiOn as a P1 Kappa Phi Scholar constitutes a high honor and the highest di stinction Pi Kappa Phi con­fers on an active member. The Schol­ars chosen for 1942 will be the six­teenth such group to be so honored.

The scholarship record of a can­didate must be filed with the Chair-

10

Chairman of Scholarship Committee

man of the Scholarship Committee not later than July 1, and each rec­ord must be accompanied by a good photograph of the candidate suitable for use in the STAR AND LAMP. The record should come in on the form mentioned above and each record must be certified to by the chapter Secretary and the Dean or Registrar of the college. Those chosen as S.c~olars ~ill receive Scholarship Cer­tthcates stgned by the President and Sc~olarship Chairman of Pi Kappa Pht, and also attractive Scholarship Pendants engraved with the owner's name, y~ar and chapter, and suitable for weanng on a chain. The names of the Scholars will be announced in the November number of the STAR AND LAMP, and the formal awards of the Certificates and Pendants will be made at the Founders' Day ban­quets of the various chapters in De­cember. The photographs and rec­ords of the Scholars appear in a later number.

PEARL HARBOR LETTER

Part of a letter from Frank R. Montgomery, Iota, civilian engineer, mailed in Honolulu, T. H., on Janu­ary 13th, 1942 to J. W. Setz, Jr., Atlanta.

Dear Jim:

I received your Christmas card yester­day, as you can see it was quite delayed, as bas al l mail been since D ecember 7.

I am glad to say we all came through the attack. The fact is all the excitement was practically over before most of us knew what was going on.

About 8:30 A.M., Sunday morning a friend ca lled me and told me that the island of Oahu was under attack, and I almost laughed in his face . Nevertheless I turned on the radio to hear the announce­ments coming in te11ing the people to keep off the streets, not to use the telephone and to keep radios turned on loud. About 10:30 A.M. the can came through for all Pearl Harbor workers to report to work immediately. From this call I rushed out and started to the Harbor, still thinking that the Army and Navy were having real war-like maneuvers.

On the way from the house to the Oahu Railway Terminal, where we were to get the Pearl Harbor Bus, all busses were stopped due to a fire raging in a block of stores. Fire hoses were stretched all over the street. This had the appearance of an accidental fire, and we did not put a whole lot of stock in it. Finally we were trans­ported to the Harbor and at the gate I was told that no office workers were need­ed at the Contractors office, so I returned to town .

On the way back to town the bus stop­ped sudden ly and every one piled out and started looking up. When I got out and looked around I saw about six planes flying some 5,000 feet high . Then everyone got back on the bus and we proceeded. I took the planes to be our planes but found out later that they bad been J aps.

I reached town again around noon time and started hearing rumors that sounded quite fantastic, such as a bomb havin<> landed here or there. During the after~ noon we moved from place to place and began to see that the rumors had been true. The whole civilian population of Ho~olulu fell into their respective groups ~h1ch had been planned previously and by mghtfall every man and woman avai lable wc~e in position to help in any eventuality. Th~s one day of excitement marks a11 the excitement we have had here to date.

Since that time all steps have been taken necessary to the defense of these islands and we have become a veritable arsenal: Should the J aps decide to return to our shores I am sure they would be given a very warm welcome.

ON DECEMBER 28, 1941 , Pi

Kappa Phi lost one of its most loved and loyal mem-

bers in the death of Chauncey Fred­erick Johnson, best known to all of U3 as "Chan. " Chan Johnson was initiated into Chi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at John B. Stetson Uni­versity on December 17, 1924. From the date of his initiation to his grad­uation, he was intensely active on behalf of his Chapter and his Uni­versity, and missed no opportunity to advance their interests. His Chap­ter 's position of leadership on the Stetson campus during his four years of active membership was in no small measure a personal tribute to 'his energetic leadership, a leadership having its fountain head in a splen­did Christian character and a per­sonality that attracted and held friends with a most remarkable loy­alty.

Chan held with both honor and distinction such Chapter offices as Chaplain, Warden, Rushing Chair­man, Secretary and STAR AND LAMP correspondent, Hi~torian, and Arch­on. He proved h1mself to be a fra­ternity man of the highest type by expending his talents just as liberal­ly for his University as be did for his Chapter. He was successively Business Manager and Circulation Manager of the Collegiate, CIa s s President, Cheer Leader, President of the Glee Club, and Glee Club solo­ist for four years together with spe­cia l singing in the Quartet. He also was chosen most "Popular Boy" on

the campus for two successive years. His t~lent in mus!c was outstanding and hts accompamst was his equally talented wife-to-be, Lois (Hon) John­son. Together they toured Florida with Stetson's musical clubs and in this endeavor they brought honor to themselves, their Fraternity and the University they represented.

After graduation in 1928, he was elected Chapter Advisor to Chi a tribute to his splendid efforts in ' its behalf during his four undergrad­uate years.

Shortly after graduation Chan re­turned to Detroit with his wife, and he immediately joined the Detroit Alumni Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. It was this twelve years of associa­tion with Chan Johnson in both fra­ternity and busi ness relationships that endeared him to the writer.

In spite of a most serious physical handicap1 an affliction that finally caused hts death, he faced life with a never failing spirit of cheerfulness and friendliness which was an in­~piration to all of the many Detroit Pi Kapps who knew and loved h:m. He had friends almost without num­ber because he himself was a most friendly man and ever true to his friendships. He was a most active and loyal member of the Detroit Alumni Chapter and he and his wife will long be remembered for their de­lightful musical contributions to the Detroit Convention of Pi Kapps in 1931.

Chan was the recipient of every honor that the Detroit Alumni could bestow upon him, including election to the office of Archon, and through­out his twelve years with us here in Detroit he served as our social and entertainment chairman and was al-

· ler wa.ys one of our leaders in the .J11.8f~ I ont dehghtful parties and other actJ\'11 pi the sponsored by the Detroit Al0111 wa. Chapter. ak for:

Chan's death marks the first bre pi sitl in the ranks of our Detroit AltJ!Tlrl' not but the inspiration and the rne!ll~ir lai of his sterling Christian cbarac pol des will always live with us. Pi l(aP se the Phi is a better fraternity becau il th Chan Johnson lived and gave toil the best of himself. We in pe~~~d treasure the memory of a true frJ <~1 and fraternity brother, the rnorebi~ because those of us who kneW eli I most intimately realized all too wr1· I ler the supreme courage it took to ~[.~.

patby is extended to his Father j~: Mother, Chan Johnson, Sr. and ~ ~~·I Johnson, both of whom were deeP :, interested in and friendly to oao · friends in Pi Kappa Phi.

mons to the colors comes quickly it is important that no accounts should be permitted to be overdue. Some fraternities are anticipating such eventualities by requiring payment of bills in advance, a practice long fol­lowed by colleges.

With regard to the perennial- war or no war-question of alumni ac­counts receivable, the temporary prosperity should be capitalized by diligent and continuous solicitation of debts owed. Many of the young alumni now entering the service as junior officers are in better financial position than they would normally be as they started at the bottom of the ladder in peacetime occupations. Eternal vigilance is the price of suc­cess for the bill collector, whether he represents a tailor or a fraternity house.

Excellent results have been obtain­ed by sending letters to the parents of each pledge, setting forth his fi­nancial obligation to the chapter.

Your committee calls attention to the value of the services rendered by local professional accountants in assisting in the preparation of budg­ets and the keeping of books of rec­ord and account. In these times wh.en the treasurer of the chapter is likely to be called to military service these permanent establishments are in a position to preserve the continu­ity of fiscal management. In all chapters two or more assistant treas­urers should be in training for the duties that may fall upon them al­most overnight.

The Question of Chapter-House Mortgages

And now we come to the mort­gages. In some chapters, prudent in the managem nt of house affairs since the last war, these obligations are not burdensome; in others, which yielded to the lure of keeping up with the Germans, they present a very serious situation.

If the war continues long - and who is sanguine enough to believe that it will not?- it is obvious that in many instances there will have to be material readjustments of the schedules of curtailment. Your com­mittee is of the opin:on that the lenders of money will lend an ear to an intelligent and documented ap­peal for the suspension of principal reduction for the duration, provided ~bowing can be mad <! of a determin­ed policy to keep up the interest pay-

ments. It may, indeed, be possible to obtain modifications of the inter­est rates, a lthough we may be too optimistic in holding forth this hope.

As in the last war, chapters which find the going bard should not let false pride keep them from entering into arrangements with other chap­ters for combined eating facilities or possible combined lodging, if the house to be vacated can be rented ad­vantageously. Fraternity residence in college dormitories might prove bene­ficial to both college and chapter.

The further suggestion is made that alumni, non-fraternity men and recommended townsmen be offered accommodations in the fraternity houses, subject, of course, to certain codes agreed upon in advance.

In several colleges the adminis­trations, mindful of the problems which face the fraternity houses, have agreed to suspend for the duration regulations which require that fresh­men reside in the college dormitories or which insist upon long-term leases of rooms occupied by upperclassmen.

Several colleges have established student room rent at a flat figure. This applies in the same amount to fraternities and dormitories. Each student's room rent is collected by by the college. Each fraternity. re­ceives the room rent in full for those members living in the fraternity house.

In any study of fraternity house operations it should be borne in mind that th~ accelera~ed ~du~ational pro­grams m many mstitutiOns will re­sult in the fraternity houses' being open for at leas.t two additional months each calendar year. The room rent thus collected will be a ma­terial factor in meeting the charges pay~ble annually to the house corp­oratiOns.

Morale Is An Important Foetor The United States Office of Edu­

~ation in Washington has been urg­mg the colleges to co-operate in a nati?n-wide program of public dis­cussions to develop civilian morale as a part of the war effort. This is both a compliment and a challenge to organized education and to its adjunct, the college fraternity . In essence, the objective of the Office of Education is to organize groups - appropriately called "Freedom's Forums"-to discuss various themes bearing on the war effort. Chapters desiring further information on this

15

subject are advised to send $1 to the Superintendent of Public Documents, Washington, D. C., for a year's sub­scription to Education for Victory, a bi-weekly publication.

A valuable publication in this field for discussion ,is called "War Service Opportunities for College and Uni­versity Students." It is published by the American Council on Educa­tion , 744 Jackson Place, Washing­ton, D. C., and provides concrete descriptions of specific opportunities for special types of services, military and non-military, for both men, on commissioned officer level, and wom­en. A copy has been sent to each college and university president in the country and should be available for local discussion groups. The en­tire series may be purchased for $2.

The American Council on Educa­tion is also shortly to publish a sur­vey of the personnel needs of the armed forces in terms of enlisted men. The summary report will seek to answer three questions: 1. What are the training needs in enlisted per­sonnel of the armed forces for which college training may be beneficial? 2. What pre-induction education would be beneficial to men enter­ing the armed forces after one or two years of college? 3. To what ex­tent are the armed services conduct­ing their own training programs to meet these needs? The Office of Education Wartime Commission will take up the project there and make more detailed analyses of specific courses which would be most helpful. These will be published in Education for Victory.

Alert chapters will invite informed alumni back to the houses to dis­cuss current events and to bring the gospel of sustained fraternity inter­est and loyalty in the face of war­time dislocation.

Likewise, alert chapters will send a cheering word to their members who are in uniform, for on the far­away battle line or in the lonely hours in camp the memory of warm fra­ternal handclasps and of the stirring songs of brotherhood are magni fi­cently comforting.

The need for sustained academic endeavor within the chapter house has doubtless been brought to the at­tention of fraternity men everywhere since the fateful December 7. Your

16

committee echoes the call to the books. Some rigid self-discipline is required of men still treading college paths. Anticipating eventual call to the- service, they will be tempted to adopt the philosophy of "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we drill." The importance of academic achieve­ment as a pre-requisite to whatever call may come to the college man is so obvious that it hardly needs to be pointed out. This is a war of science and engineering and scientists and engineers of top-flight training will be required. The arts course man, too, will better serve his na­tion if he has sharpened his mind upon the grindstone of the curricu­lum.

The signs of the times point, also to the abandonment of so-called "Hell Week" activities in public. Citizens of college communities, mindful that men are dying on land and sea, are in no mood to gaze in­dulgently upon the silly pranks of college freshmen in the name of some Greek-letter society.

Intramural activities taken in moderation stimulate; taken in ex­cess they intoxicate. While the pro­gram of within-the-walls competi­tions generally offers splendid op­portunities for the physical develop­ment of fraternity men, the whole program should be examined on each college campus to determine those schedules which merit continuance and those which should be abandon­ed so that the full energy of the fra­ternity men may be devoted to tele­scoped college careers.

Some fraternities require that their chapters daily display the flag of their nation. Your committee rec­ommends widespread adoption of this visual token of fealty.

An essential part of the morale fac­tor of the fraternity at war should be service to nation and to commun­ity. Many chapter men are contribut­ing to blood banks, aiding the Red Cross, schooling themselves in first­aid, patrolling as air-raid warden::; , serving as airplane spotters and act­ing as auxiliary police and firemen. If a chapter is in an air-raid-men­aced area, it should take steps to safeguard its important records and memorabilia.

Many fraternities have been pur­chasing Defense Bonds, both of the

United States and Canada, from thei: surpluses and many chapters ha~ been making similar purchases f~Ok· their building, replacement and stnut ing funds. It should be pointed ~at that the government is urging ur· defense bonds and stamps be P 5. chased primarily from new savmg

Many chapters are making the ~~ cilities of their houses available service men on leave.

Your committee has frequently been asked about the advisability of abandoning national conventions for the period of the war. We have no recommendation. Some fraternities have already postponed their con­claves indefinitely, substituting regi­onal meetings therefor; others lnve decided to proceed with convention plans on the ground that the morale­building factors of continent-wide fraternal communion are of tremend­ous value and that certain wartime emergency legislation which only a national assembly can pass is requir­ed. There has been no official state­ment by the authorities in Washing­ton on the subject of conventions; it is predicted, however, that by next fall there may be rationing of railroad travel.

Some of the deans who answered our circular Jetter have indicated the need for more frequent visits to their campuses by traveling secretaries. At the same time. several fraternities have reported difficulty in obtaining suitable men for the important visita­tion posts, what with widespread joining of the colors and opportuni­ties for more lucrative pos!tions in

defense and allied industries. Some fraternities have already

adopted legislation, either by conven­tion action or by mail vote, giving extraordinary emergency powers to their ad interim executive bodies. Such legislation might, for example authorize the borrowing of fund~ from endowments for the purpose of carrying on operations despite de­creased revenue from dues and initia­tion fees.

The elected officers of the fra­ternities are men who may be count­ed upon to recognize the problems as they progressively develop and to seek their solutions with deep earn­estness and devotion.

The Armor of Spiritual Values

In conclusion, your committee has the following observation to make:

The heavy emphasis laid upon science during the past two or three decades, at all educational levels, has produced, we believe, one most un­fortunate and perilous resu It, name­ly, the development of a conviction among many college men that noth­ing is real, nothing desirable, noth­ing even tolerable, which cannot be

17

presented in a graph, examined through a microscope or subjected to the scrutiny and evaluation of the chemist or the physicist.

Now all of us know that every re­spectable fraternity on earth was founded on certain ideals and exists for the perpetua tion of those ideals in the lives of its members. It is very easy for older man, who as officials determine policies and guide pro­cedures in their respective groups, to lose sight of these two vital facts in their interest in statistics, reports and machinery. The hour bas now come to put the emphasis where the em­phasis belongs--on our intangibles, our immeasurables, our imponder­ables; on those spiritual values with­out which fraternities can today pre­sent to a tortured world no excuse whatever for their continued exist­ence.

Who knows but that our whole fraternity system has " come to the kingdom for such a time as thi s," has at last been given the opportun­ity of proving the value of its past contribution to education and its rights to continue to serve as a lab­oratory of forthright living? We can and must today enlist our members in a holy crusade for the finer things; we can and must make them see that ideals are the only hope of our war­torn race. We are ready to say with the English soldier-poet, "Now God be thanked Who hath matched us with thi s hour I"

BROTHER INTERNED Wars bring heartaches. They

bring many situations wherein fra­ternity men may be of service. Your attention is called to the plight of Brother George Pickard, Alpha Omicron, of Govan, Sask., Canada. Brother Pickard was, at the time of the fall of France, employed in a managerial capacity by his Toronto company in Lille, France. There, with his wife and son, he was trapped by the invading German armies. Since that time he bas been interned as a Canadian civilian in a concen­tration camp in Germany.

His mother has been in touch with the Central Office and has informed us of his internment address. There are many difficulties facing the writ­er of letters to prisoners within Ger­many, but Central Office is prepared to explain to George's Pi Kapp bud­dies the method they may use in get­ting letters of encouragement to him.

Kennett Resigns

Pi Kapps who have had the opportunity to know Brother R. Lynn Kennett through his work as Assistant Ex­ecutive Secretary of the fraternity will be pleased to hear of his recent employment by the Western Union Telegraph Co. in an executive training program. After four years of exemplary service as a member of the Central Office staff of the Fraternity, his resignation became effective February 1. His presence at chap ter council tables will be greatly missed, but his many friends wish him every success in his new posi­tion.

Lynn is a graduate of Roanoke College, Salem, Va., where he joined Pi Kappa Phi as a member of Xi Chapter. In his senior year he became archon of Xi and president of the Roanoke student body. He came into the Central Office in February, 1938, from an editorial post on the staff of one of the lead ing newspapers of the city of Roanoke. H 's official duties for the Fraternity carried him into the majority of our subordinate chapters where he displayed real ability in pursuing the analysis and solution of chapter problems.

Though his newest business venture has kept him in Richmond, the requirements of his job prevent him from mak­ing other than occasional contacts with the Central Office. He has asked that we publish his home address, 110 Over­brook Road, Richmond, for he is anxious to keep in touch with the many Pi Kapps he has met throughout the country.

Deaths Pi Kappa Phi mourns for Brother Roger Conant Chase,

Alpha Tau, who passed to the Chapter Eternal after a short illness on March 12, 1942. Brother Chase, a graduate of R. P . I. in the class of 1936, was twenty-seven years of age. He passed away at his home in Waterbury, Connecticut, where he had been employed as a mechanical engineer with the Oakville Division of the Scovill Manufacturing Co. The deepest sympathy of the Fraternity is with his wife, Kate Wilson Chase, his daughter, Judith M., and his sons, Donald S. and Richard W., at this time.

Central Office has received word of the death of Brother Jarvis R. Pearce, Jr., Alpha Sigma. Brother Pearce was a resident of Memph 's, Tennessee.

Success and good luck from Alpha to all Pi Kapps in the service of our Country, wherever they may be.

Epsilon Carries On Epsilon began the second semester with the initiation of two

members of the faculty, Prof. W. N. Mebane and Mr. M . W. McGill, and six freshmen, John Campbell, Lumberton, N. C.; Price Lineberger and Emery Denny, Gastonia, N. C.; Elwood Walton, Hickory, N. C.; and Sumner Williams and George Wilkinson, Greenvil!e, S. C. Chapter officers are, Tad Larkin, archon; Erskine Parks, treasurer; Calhoun Hipp, secretary; Bob Gowdy, historian; Frank Logan, chaplain; and Jack Wayman, warden.

Due to the war Davidson College is offering a twelve­week summer session to enable students to finish their college courses in three years. Fraternities will not operate during the summer. However, plans for an extensive summer and fall rushing program are being worked out. Epsilon has not yet been seriously affected by the draft since the majority of the eligible brothers are taking advanced R. 0. T . C.

Graduation losses kept the chapter basketball team below last year's standard. They finished in fifth place but we have been enjoying a successful spring sports program'.

Extra-curricular activities continue to engage many of the brothers. Jack Wayman, a stellar performer on the basketball team, has .b~en elected co-captain of next year's quintet. Blanton W1lbamson, ace hurdler and captain and Erskin( Parks, outstanding two miler, are members of the track team. Mack Morris, manager of the basketball team, is a standby on the baseball team . Brothers Gaither and Bumbarger hold down places on the goff team and Lyman Parrigin ranks high in te~nis . The chapter is ~veil represented on the staffs of the vanous school publications. Epsilon carries on!

Iota At Full War Strength intGeo~gia Tech, as a result of the war emergency, has swung co

0. fifty-one weeks of full-time school operation. All in­

Ye rntng freshmen who fare well will be graduated in three of a;s. This plan seems to meet the approval of the majority va h~ student body because, though it eliminates the summer or cbt!on, it affords draft exemption and strengthens chances inc et~g commissioned upon graduation. Anticipating a large hasommg class of freshmen in June, the interfraternity council Pia made plans for a rush week then. According to present thr ns all fraternity life on the Tech campus will continue Q[U~hout the summer.

Ire ftcers of Iota are, Robert Bush, Jr., archon; Russell Dunn, to~surer; McBride Pryor, secretary; Wallis Simmons, his­'t'h an; Jim Snowden, chaplain; and Leslie Tarbutton, warden. ~i 6' officiated at the March 8th initiation of Brothers toe ard ?· Almand, Jr., Halbert L . Edge, Jr., and James C. tenw~errntlk. This initiation brought Iota's initiate total to rno or the year. We are the first Pi Kapp chapter to have {~ than 400 members.

for tke all other chapters, Iota is contributing to the armed la~s of the nation. Brother John King and Pledge Hal gr0 b Were accepted in the air corps and have completed their the Und school training. Brother George Schroeder has entered Sess arrna.ment division of the air corps, while Brother George f>ledorns ts in ground school training for a mechanic's rating dut ges ~crt Trump and Jack Mcintosh have gone on active othy as Infantry lieutenants. Upon graduation in May many ~ob; brothers will go into service. The Navy will call Archon F'lo rt Bush, Jim Wright, Jean Kirkland and Harry Arthur. Co Yd Blair and John Leedy will become lieutenants in the Sera~t Artillery corps and George Webb will accept a Civil inct~e Position as a naval engineer. Alumni now on duty the u e Bob Weatherford, John Hard, and Ed Lindgren in Sign ~a val service; Harry Wright, air corps; Ed Johnson,

A.a. Corps, and Chris Holly, coast artillery. Iov ~hves and alumni were saddened by the death of our be· ho~ house mother, Mattie B. Fowle. She passed away at her hoo e on February 28. She was much loved by the brother­cia d. Her spirit will remain with us long after the present

th;he War has affected us in many ways. A good number of tat members will remain on campus for summer school to facili­su~ earlier graduation. A freshman class will be admitted this or dmer which will add new rushing responsibilities. Rationing its ances has been instituted at Duke and Mu will forego Po always popular Spring Formal. Cabin parties remain on~u~ar m the social life of the fraternity . A very successful

O~ PI KAPPA PHI

Soon after elections the fraternity gave one of the best social functions of the year, a Valent:ne formal at the house on February 14. It was a closed affair for brothers, pledges, alumni and their dates. Since then the chapter has been holding informal get-togethers at the house on Saturday nights. While these festivities were greatly enjoyed, the absence of many friends was noticeable. Brother Rodney Fringer dropped from school after Christmas and entered the Navy. Gordon Little transferred to Concord and Buck Stone joined the air corps. Pledge Dave Fitzhugh joined the Marines, Bill Spencer the Navy, Vic Viccellio the air corps, French Housman the army and Bud Garst is to go in soon. We were loathe to see them go but wish them the best of luck-as we carry on for them. Adding to these names the long list of alumni already in the service, and you understand Xi's part in nat­ional defense.

. The boys remaining in school are doing all right. In schol­arship the chapter stands fourth out of fourteen campus groups. Brother Gus Kruttschnitt, business manager of the annual, recently shared honors for the "smoothest" couple on the campus. Brother Wayne Metcalf was initiated into the Monogram Club of which Brother Louis Camarra is president. Archon Harold Carter is one of the senior representatives on the Honor Council.

Pledge Ted Ryder led the Maroons to their second straight State "Little Six" basketball title and as a result was named on the second string All-State team.

Alpha Psi Omega, dramatic society, ~ece!ltlY elect~~ Bob Worley and Jim Reynolds to membership m recogmt10n of their work in dramatics. Affiliate Bob Deardorff has been named president of the college dance organization, the Ger­man Club .

Present plans call for keeping the house open all summer. Active rushing continues to fill vacancies recently created.

-Carl Shererts, Historian.

Omicron Continues Forward Omicron had a most successful rushing season this semes­

ter, pledging 16 men. Nine men were recently initiated. They are : James Harper, Winfred McCartney, Bernard Windham, Richard Van Hala, Jack Dickert, Curtis Studdard, William Brunson, George Stacy, and Reginald Johnson.

Chapter officers are Gene Jordan, archon; R. E. Williams, treasurer; Joe Ed Hearn, secretary; Henry A. Le.slie, his­torian; Ben Brock, warden; and Jack Brock, chaplam.

Socially, Omicron is living up to its past reputation, having sponsored one of the campus's most successful house dances on February 24. Another social highlight of the season was our recent "Honky Tonk" dance.

James Harper, newly initiated, won the jeweled pin chapter award for having the highest average in the pledge class last semester.

Omicron also is contributing to the war effort. David Self and Francie Sances have left to join the air corps and Lister Brunson, editor of the Corolla, has been accepted in the newly established Quartermaster's Corps here.

At the annual Cotton Bowl game January 1, in Dallas, Texas, when the University of Alabama defeated Texas A & M 29 to 21, local Pi Kapps were well represented with three men on the football team, seven in the band , and several among the cheering section.

Sigma On the Offensive After a round of rush week functions, principal among

which was an informal dance and fish fry at Brother John D . Carroll's lake home near Lexington, S. C., three new pledges were added to the roster of Sigma Chapter. They are Howard Fairey, Orangeburg, S. C., Joe Shaw, Clinton, S. C. and Harold George, Columbia, S. C. The following week the new pledges were feted at an informal party at Brother Billy Monckton's golf course club house. Two active members were added to our group when Brothers Dwight Holder and Harry Mcin­vaill, both of Beta, transferred to the University this semester.

23

Following is a partial Jist of Sigma's alumni in the armed services: Brothers Arthur Busbee and Jimmy Wilson are en­signs in the Navy, stationed at Boston and Norfolk respec­tively. Brother Olin McDonald is a bombardier in the air corps stationed at Midland, Texas; Brother Jack Cook has recently taken the oath as an aviation cadet; Bernie Jones is in th e Officers' Training School , Ft. Benning, Ga., and Pledge Claude Cely is an aviation cadet at Craig Field, Selma, Ala.

When the Capitol Bowling Center was destroyed by fire the Interfraternity Bowling League was discontinued. This streak of ill luck came at a time when Pi Kappa Phi was within one game of the leading A. T. O.'s. Last results showed Pledges Bill Steinbrecher, Chicago, had the highest average in the league. We entered a fine team in the intramural basketball tournament which started early in March.

Brothers Ed Parler and Jimmy Bell have been elected to membership in Blue Key, national honorary l~adership fraternity .

-Dave Morris, Historian.

Tau Fares Well Tau chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has fared surprisingly well

since the United States declared war on Japan. With the coming of the Spring term, Tau will lose Brother

George Coward by th e graduation route, and pledge Roy Coggin, who has been ca lled by the se~ective service. Brother Coward is a former Archon, and will receive his degree in Tex­tile Manufacturing.

Two other brothers, Whit Benton and Gregg Gibbs, will receive their commissions as second lieutenants in the U. S. Army on May 9. Whit will enter the infantry, and Gregg goes to the Air Corps.

And two other brothers will receive commissions as ens!gns in the Naval Reserve when they graduate. Brother Bill Quickel, who won the chapter scholarship cup this year, re­ceived his appointment last yea r, but will not go into active service until his graduation on May 9. Brother Charles Setzer just recently received his appointment, and will go into ac­tive duty about the end of the Fall term next year.

Archon H arold "Bud" Ketchum, a senior in chemical engi­neering, will take on a wife soon after his graduation in June. "Bud" recently announced his engagement to Jeanette Bush of Raleigh.

Brother Bill Jordan will go to work for G!enn L . Martin in Baltimore when he graduates this summer.

Brother Jim Morgan, recently defeated in his campaign for editorship of the campus newspaper, has taken the job of Managing Editor to be the right hand man of the Editor. Jim will also be our senior representative on the Interfraternity Council next yea r.

Tau chapter's pledge class, eleven strong, is rapidly ap­proaching the time to take their big step and become member~ of the chapter. The members of the class are Ward Bushee of Mount Holly; Roy Coggin of Albemarle; Bob Hyers of Morristown , N. J .; R . C. "Cham" Laughlin of Tarboro; Johnny H arrington of Broadway ; Jack Whitener of Badin; Jack Alford of Raleigh; Ause Harvey of Lincolnton; Ed Trov of Wilmington; Walter Gilbert of Statesville; and Harold J orclan of Charlotte. Nearly a ll of the boys in the class are going to become brothers in the Spring term .

The election of new officers is to take place about twc weeks after the initiation of our pledges. Plenty of credit is due Archon Ketchum for the masterful way in which he has led Tau chapter during the past four months. It will be a hard job for anyone to fill the position as capably as he has.

An extensive rushing program is scheduled for the Spring term and we should have another large pledge class ready for initiation next Fall.

the course and five are now actively pursuing it. As a re­sult of this training many of these men have gone into the air corps where they are making fine records. Brother Ben Smith is an outstanding example. Joining the Naval Air Corps nine months ago he has recently been commissioned an ensign and is now an instructor in P-Boats at the Jacksonville Naval Base.

Archon Kurtz has set up a committee to plan a summer program of activity and year-round rushing due to the fact that students are taking advantage of the added summer sessions to graduate before going into the service. Treasurer Hugh Gower is also cooperating in an effort to stabilize the fraternity for the duration, seeing to it, by excellent plan­ning, that our financial condition remains sound.

The chapter voted to assess each member a like amount and to donate the proceeds to the Red Cross. Delta Delta Delta Sorority and Pi Kappa Phi jointly held a successful bridge party at the chapter house to raise a considerable amount of money for the same purpose.

Recently the active members challenged the pledges to a rugged game of diamond ball, agreeing that the losers should give a stag party to the winning team. The pledges won after a hard battle and their chagrined opponents staged a very nice party for them. Our energies were then directed to the planning of our second annual Orchid dance. Last year this dance was the outstanding event of Stetson's social sea­son and the second annual was even more successful.

It is sad to report the deaths of mascots "Chi" and Kappa," our Spitz and Collie pups pictured in the November issue. These little pets were favorites all over the campus, particularly so to the girls of Chaudoin Hall who spared neither time nor effort to spoil them, feeding them delicacies and bathing them regularly. "Chi" and "Kappa" never seemed to appreciate the latter act. Many of the brothers were jealous of the diminutive dogs, and as a result of their deaths, hope they will come in for a larger share of the coed's attention. The spirit of Chi men has been deeply touched by this loss, and the house is quieter for their absence.

-Ernest V. Machen , Historian.

Alpha Epsilon All Out Alpha Epsilon ushered in the new semester with a week of

extended rushing, and pinned six new pledges. Bill McWhor­ter Miami Fla.; Bob Gangle, Akron, Ohio; Cecil Costin, Po~t St. ]oe, Fla. ; Jim Shaw, Mount Dora, Fla.; Bill Stephens Gainesville, Fla. ; and James Hendry, Jacksonville, Fla. 0~ March 4, we formally initiated Bud Monk, Bill Poage Bud Anthony, W. L. Bailey, W. Carleton Bliss, and Darrel Carnell. We are maintaining a steady program of rush­ing and planning another initiation before summer vacation.

Present officers are, Harley Force, archon; Carl Hey, treas­urer; Enos Kerr, secretary; Jack Carpenter, historian; Bob Cummings, chaplain; Stuart Lofberg, warden; and Morri: Goodman, steward.

The biggest event of the year on our social calendar was the Military Ball which brought Tony Pastor to the campus for two days. The chapter's week-end included a picnic, breakfasts, radio dances, a parade, a concert, and an official ball as part of the Military Ball itself. We were making plans for spring house parties when the University officials announced there woud be no spring holidays due to the ~hortened semester.

R. C. Hagan, Charles Pearce, Alex Edwards, Norman De-­Vant, and Charter Caldwell left school at mid-year to join the American armed forces.

As a result of the war the University of Florida has an­nounced its plan to offer most of the regular semester courses in Engineering and Agriculture during the summer session, thus making it possible for students to graduate in three years. This may result in Alpha Epsilon operating through the sum­mer but, as yet, plans are not completed.

Alpha Sigma Active Alpha Sigma started the winter quarter social calendar

with a dinner dance on the night of January 29. It was well attended and greatly enjoyed by the members and guests. On February 13, Treasurer Ed Jones and his date led the grand march in the first of a series of the Nahheeyali mid­winter dances held in the U. T. Alumni Memorial Auditorium . Music was furnished by Les Brown's famous orchestra, in­cluding the well known vocalist, Miss Betty Bonney. Les Brown, Miss Bonney and members of the orchestra were served refreshments at the chapter house during intermission. They made a big hit with the members of Alpha Sigma.

Four recent pledges not previously reported are David Minor, Bob Deal, Duncan Riddle, and Buell Lawson. Pledge Charlie Martin is on the staff of the Orange and White (cam­pus newspaper), and Charlie Niles has been appointed assist­ant Editor-in-Chief of the Tennessee Engineer, U. T. Engi­neering College publication.

This crucial year of 1942 is seeing ever increasing changes in our many activities. The University has stepped up the graduating period from four to three years and the cessation of all social events except those of major importance is an­ticipated. In view of this Alpha Sigma is stressing all activi­ties possible to promote and strengthen the ties of frendship and fraternalism. The chapter is preparing to operate the house through the summer quarter and plans for summer and year around rushing.

We extend a cordial invitation to our alumni to visit us oftener than you have in the past, and to all other Pi Kapps in Knoxville and vicinity, we hope you, too, will drop in and pay us a visit.

-Harold E. Brown, Jr., Historian .

Alpha Phi Reporting At the close of the fall semester Alpha Phi initiated the

fo llowing men: Harry Anderson, Paul Dalenberg, Henry Dirksen, Charles Farr, Mario Fraccaro, Wolfram Futterer, Albert Glassgen, Robert Howard, Leonard Klarich, John Roach, and Douglass Snyder. A new system for probation week was tried this semester whereby the pledges worked a modified steamboat shift of eight hours on with four hours off which proved very satisfactory, not only in keeping the pledges out of mischief, but in getting the house completely renovated.

Newly elected officers are: Edward H . Callender, archon; Harry Anderson, treasurer; Edward L. Farrell , secretary; John B. Morse, historian; Vic Schellschmidt, chaplain; and Walter Stephenson, warden.

Heading the list of Pi Kapp actives in extra-curricular ac­tivities is Secretary Ed Farrell who is Editor-in-Chief of Tecll11ology News, the school publication. Ed also edits Alpha Philes, our chapter publication.

Recent initiate Wally Futterer has been chosen co-captain of the basketball squad for next season. Ed Callender man­aged the team this past year, and Pledge Ray Tubergen is to receive a minor award for the season's efforts.

Co-ops Victor Schellschmidt, Merle Dargel, Arnold Kramer and Charles Farr have been elected to the presidencies of their respective classes.

Due to the acceleration of classes and the elimination of all holidays, graduation will be held on May 14 this year. Upon graduation, George Hoff and Herbert Hansen will receive their ap~oint~ents to active d_uty in t~e aval Reserves. Harry Hetdenre1ch and Dale Wtllman Will become flying cadets in the aval Air Corps.
