The University of Missourj's famous landmark, The Columns. In the year 1892 fire destroyed Academic Hall, the University of Missouri's first major building, leaving only its time-scarred columns as a perpetual symbol of the first struggles of higher education in Missouri. Rich in the traditions of Missouri, they are said to be the most photo­graphed objects in the Middle West.

WHETHER alumni or undergrad-uate, you may have been slightly

curious at one time or another about chapter visitations from Central Of­fice. You may have wondered bow the program is organized; how the various phases of chapter operation are covered; and how the Traveling Counselor is briefed and trained for the job of servicing Pi Kappa Phi's 44 chapters.

We are attempting to give Pi Kap­pa Phi its finest visitation program. To do so, a very definite and well planned approach is essential. To this end, the following phases of chapter operation have felt the brunt of our energies.

1. Ritualistic Procedures. 2. Pledge Training. 3. Scholarship control. 4. Budgetary Control System. 5. Rushing Techniques. 6. Housing program. 7. Chapter News Sheets. s 'ince the length and number of

the visitations are limited because of limited travel funds, it is not always possible to cover tlie above points as thoroughly as they might be. Even more of a problem is the fact that visitations are necessarily so infre­quent as to make it difficult to follow through on corrective measures in­stituted or suggested at the time of the preceding visit. However, that we might know the weaknesses of

Was · your pledge. training program covered to your sat-isfaction? 19 2 4. Was your scholarship pro-gram covered to your satis-faction? 19 2 5.

Was your chapter publica-tion program covered satis-factorily? 17 4

Note: One organization gave un­favorable replies on every question.

The three items deserving com­ment are items 2, 6, and 8. The unfavorable replies on 2 and 6 came as no surprise. Circumstances are such that these activities cannot al­ways be observed. These programs are periodic and it is rare that the travelling personnel see them. Cor- · rective measures in this connection are being taken. The chapters are being asked to schedule, wherever possible, ritualistic and rushing ac­tivities during the Traveling Coun­selor's visitation. He will then be able to make suggestions for improve­ment during the chapter meeting following the ceremonies or i'USb parties. The unfavorable comment on item No. 8 comes as a surprise. We

. In are frankly at a loss to know J'rnost how more can be done to stress ttrib need for and the methods of publi'it su ing a chapter paper. It may be ]Jetea] ful that we are encouraging eve chapter to place every other chaP1\Vtr on its mailing list. EL

the material you will need prepared for you when you arrive. Thus, you will not lose too much time looking for information and will be able to spend more time making suggestions and corrections.

"There will probably be an air of restraint in your relations with some of the chapters when you first arrive. This is only natural. I like to call it the · period of mutual evaluation. That is, they are looking you over to see what kind of a guy you are and you are looking them over to see what they are like. This barrier can be broken down easily if you use the right approach. They un­doubtedly wm feel that you are per­forming an inspection. You should impress upon them that you are there to help them. If you will be patient they will tell you everything you want to know. A few leading questions from you will help things q~~te a ~it. If you will get very fam1har With your report outline you will find it a big help in these discussions. You can find out a lot of information by asking questions about various points to be covered in the report. They will hide their bad points for awhile

and display their good points but eventually the weaknesses will some forth.

"Make sure that they schedule a chapter meeting for you. This should be impressed upon the archon in your letter to him. It would be ideal to have the meeting after the visita­tion is over, but don't press the point too far. It is best to have a meeting regardless of where it falls in rela­tion to your visitation.

"Work bard on the chapters' pub­lications program. You will need some good selling points on this mat­ter. You will find some chapters that are opposed to anything that will in­volve them getting off their .... for any length of time over 3 seconds unless it is to go and drink beer for 3 hours.

"Be prepared to explain the pur­pose of our national organization and iust what advantage it is for them to belong to a National Fraternity. I know you will be shocked to finti that a few of our chapters wonder about these points. Also they will ride you about the STAR AND LAMP Fund and why it cannot be

can build houses. This is the most frequent topic of discussion with the chapters which do not have houses. You will find that some of the chap­ters are afraid to get out and do some work towards getting a house. They would be happy if someone gave them a mansion already furn­ished (who wouldn't)? Impress upon them that all chapters which now own houses worked for them and got them without the help of the "good Fairy."

"Work hard on the regalia • pro­gram. They will not buy any of the chapter robes if they do not have the excess funds. And to have excess funds is an impossibility, therefore they say, 'no robes ' . This is a dilly of a problem and unfortunately I can give you no suggestion other than your trying to get them to buy a robe at a time.

"You will find 'that the stronger a chapter is, the more receptive it is to criticism. They want you to find fault and to suggest other ways of doing things. On the other hand , those chapters which are weak will be slightly resentful of your pro­gram of suggestions and correction . This is where you must be subtle in your approach. I found the best man-

ner in which to present a suggestion is to give it as another chapter's way of handling the problem. For ex­ample: "At .... Chapter they found that .... " This is swallowed more readily than a dogmatic statement of fact. In my opinion, the Traveling Counselor is a liason officer between the chapters. He carries ideas from one chapter to another and through him each of our chapters is helping the other ones.

"I have left my report outline in the basket for you. You can find a copy of all my reports in the Chap­ter files. I suggest you read them to find out what corrections or sugges­tions I made and follow ·them up. If you find that I made a wrong decis­ion in a case and the suggested solu­tion to their problem is not working, give them another suggestion.

"It is a good idea to get yourself a diary and to fill out the pages with the name of the place where you shall be on that date. Also list the officers' names on the page and study them before you arrive so that you will recognize a name when you hear it in the introductions ~

"In your diary, it would be a good idea to paste one of the directories out of the STAR AND LAMP. If

you do that you won't have to ct ~ down addresses. Also list the na/ f. J. of the chapter advisers and the r trict archons along with their dresses. It might be a good idea request a schedule of vacations 'il,ti exams during the year so that .'-J.f! will have something to go on a . · forehand and so you won't sche~ :~~c a visit at the wrong time.

WHY is the chapter paper import-ant? A House paper is probably

one of the most important functions of the active chapter of the fratern­ity. To be strong on a college cam­pus we must have the backing and the support of the alumni. There is, perhaps, no better way of keeping our alumni interested in us than through news of the chapter - the chapter paper. Too, by mailing edi­tions to other colleges and universi­ties ideas are exchanged. One's pres­tige on campus is strengthened when other fraternities learn that Pi Kap­pa Phi chapters publish .their own papers for their alumni and other active chapters.

WHEN? The paper should be pub­lished at least three times a year, more if possible. Beware of printing

Dick Fiscus, Editor of the GAMMAZETTE, Spring '49

a paper too often just for the sake of having a great number of editions. · This often results in over lapping, dull news; the opposite extreme is the chapter who publishes so few that the news becomes stale.

WHERE? The editor, copy man, and membership reporter room to­gether at Gamma. By doing this we can discuss other papers and the GAMMAZETTE during breaks in studies or over a cup of coffee. A great deal of time is save}! by using this system. After all studies are important in college. The paper is published only a few blocks from the campus, another time saver.

WHO works on the staff and HOW are they chosen? The histor­ian is usually appointed editor of the paper by the archon. It is left

Mike's award was the second for The Sun in two years. The award of the prize for local reporting to him followed the award last year to The Sun's Rube Goldberg for the best editorial cartoon.

Nor is this the first prize Mike's series has won. The ·women's Press

Club of ew York gave him its first annual award of merit "in recogni­tion of an outstanding example of journalism in 1948." Accepting, Brother Johnson called it the job of reporters '' to penetrate · iwn curtains wherever they may be, even on the New York water front."

It is called "Red" Campus because the buildings are of red brick, and to distinguish it from the "White" or "Agriculture" Campus where the buildings are of white stone. Note the famous Columns in the center of the picture, time-worn relics of a former age of education in Missouri. (See cover this issue STAR AND LAMP.)

pr KAPPA PHI'S sights had been centered on the midwest for some time and a volley of its expansion ammunition has burst forth a I m o s t spontaneously in

District XIV. Beta Delta is installed at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa; Nu Chapter is reactivated at the University of Nebraska; and Beta Epsilon comes to life on the University of Missouri campus.

Into the picture, too, with equal pride comes Alpha Omicron at l·owa State College, which for so many years stood alone as Pi Kappa Phi's sole representative in the midwest. She now is surrounded by a growing fa m i I y of Pi Kappa Phi chapters and is ready to take on all comers.

undergraduate chapter in the State of Iowa. The new chapter, Beta Delta at Drake University in Des Moines, its capital city, is almost a next door neighbor to Alpha Omi­cron at Iowa State College. It was officially installed Sunday afternoon, April 24. The ceremony was held in the lounge of the Administration Building at Drake University.

On March 5, Alpha Omicron Chapter initiated sixteen pledges and three transfers of the Drake Colony as charter members of Beta Delta.

On Friday, April 22, the Alpha Omi­cron team journeyed to Des Moines to initiate an additional two men. The total membership now stands at twenty-one actives and nine pledges.

Satuday evening, April 23, the group entertained Drake's President, Henry G. Harman; National Histor­ian Fred Grim; Executive Secretary, W. Bernard Jones, Jr., the Des Moines alumni; A 1 ph a Omicron Chapter; and other guests at their installation ball held in the Hotel Kirkwood, Des Moines.

The theme of the dance was HLife

Begins for Pi Kappa Phi." The id~ was carried out by arranging L1~ magazine covers all over the wa as decorations. An enlarged cop)'f; the dance program, a replica of Ll which read "Life Begins for Pi J{al pa Phi-April 2 3, 1949," made most unique and fitting backdrop fr Keith Killinger's orchestra. Leatbt jewel boxes bearing the Pi J{a~P Phi crest was pre~ented to the gJf•

as gift favors from Beta Delta Ch:~ ter. The dance was a grand af ~ and enthusiastically acclaimed b)' •' who attended.

MISSOURI UNIVERSITY Luttmann, Frank Bostwick, P au l Shadrack, and Richard M. Persyn, were installed as archon, treasurer, secretary, historian, chaplain, and warden respectively.

The ceremonies were completed at 3: 00 p. m. Beta Epsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Phi was now the official title of the Missouri chapter. Every newly installed officer and member who worked to bring this about, felt a keen sense of pride when he heard the name repeated. When the group dispersed with hearty greeting, hand shakes, and the flash of new gold pins- heads were high and proud.

The group again assembled at 5:00 p. m., at the Daniel Boone Hotel in downtown Columbia for the custom­ary installation banquet. Those pres­ent were: National Historian Frederick A. Grim, Executive Secre­tary W. Bernard Jones, Jr. , District Archon Wayne Moore, a delegation from Alpha Omicron Chapter; a del-

egation from the recently reactivated Nu Chapter, and the members and pledges of Beta Epsilon .

Following a completely satisfying steak dinner, the melodious voices of the numerous Pi Kapps were heard loud in song. Short speeches were made by _District Archon Moore;

' Alpha Omicron's archon, H a r o I d Cowles ; Nu's archon, Don Eckel; and Beta Epsilon's archon, Charles M uehlebach. The program ended with an inspiring talk by Frederick Grim at which time he presented the charter to Beta Epsilon 's Archon, Charles Muehlebach.

By 8:00 p. m., the launching of Beta Epsilon had drawn to a close. The shaping of a name into a grow­ing, progressing organization lay ahead . Beta Epsi~on was on its way, thanks to the assistance and encour­agement ex t e n d e d by its many brothers.

The University of Missouri The University of Missouri, oldest

state university west of the Missis­sippi, is a leading institution of higher learning in the nation. In 1839, it was created by the Geyer Act, an outgrowth of Thomas Jef­ferson 's farsighted plans for the states to foster and control higher education. Set in another of Jeffer­son's idealistic visions- the Louisi­ana Purchase-it Wil.S fitting that the first state university in this new land should follow his concepts.

The University of Missouri is located in Columbia, Missouri near the geographic center of the state. Construction of University buildings began with the laying of the corner­stone for Academic Hall on July 4, 1840. John H. Lathrop was elected its first president on the following October. On March 13, 1841, the Columbia newspaper carried an an­nouncement that the "Preparatory Department of the University" would open on April 14 with provision for

students of college grade. For many years the University

fought a constant struggle for sur­vival. It suffered utter disruption during the Civil War, when students left for service and the Federal militia seized Academic Hall for its headquarters. Progress slowed to a standstill and the University was closed in March 1862 . Prospects brightened, however, when, by the provisions of the Morrill Ad of 1862, the Federal Government donat­ed 330,000 acres of land for the endowment of a College of Agricul­ture in Missouri. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, class­es were revived in November 1862

WHEN Pi Kappa Phi was a mere babe in swaddling clothes, it had

the idea that it should make the long trek from the east coast to the west coast to join hands with its third chapter, Gamma, at the University of California. With this in mind, a . chapter was founded at the Univer­sity of Nebraska about 1915. This young rose of Pi Kappa Phi grew and prospered until the depression­ridden years of the early thirties. When the depression came it fought for its existence like a wounded cougar at bay. They had not the depth of alumni so essential to the well being of a struggling chapter. Nu was an outpost of Pi Kappa Phi which had to sink or swim largely upon its own merits. It succumbed to the depression.

The scar upon the hearts and minds of those few who participated in the death throes of this once proud organization were deep. They bided their time and saved the little funds left over from the crash.

A reactivation program was head­ed up in 1947 by Fund Raising Chairman Bill Simpson of Marys­ville, Kansas. Lincoln Alumni Pres­ident Winfield Elmen, Treasurer (now Nu's chapter Adviser), Oscar Koch, and General Chairman Selden Davey contributed their full strength to the cause. They outlined a pro­gram of colonization wherein an un­dergraduate would be transferred to do the undergraduate organization. Earl . Dunning, Alpha Delta, accepted this challenge. The alumni, through Dunning, saw their efforts bear fruit.

May 1st wa:o a red letter day for the 25 Nebraska University students that Earl Dunning had gathered around him. It was a dream realized which the Nu alums had worked and planned for for nearly two years­for it marked the return of Nu Chap­ter to Nebraska's campus.

The initiation and installation ceremonies which preceded the instal­lation dinner were all held at the Cornhusker Hotel, Lincoln, Nebras­ka.

10

Executive Secretary W. Bernard Jones, Jr ., presided over the installa­tion. The fine Alpha Omicron initia­tion team was in charge of the initiation ceremonies. Nu Chapter was in charge of Alpha Omicron's initiation ceremonies back in 1929. This turnabout situation resulted in Alpha Omicron being especially hap­py to have a hand in the rechartering of Nu.

Selden Davey was master of cere­monies at the dinner. The charter was presented to Archon Don Eckel by Past National President George Driver, Nu alumnus. Brother Driver gave a fine address. He talked on "brotherhood " in the larger sense. Harold A. Cowles, archon of Alpha Omicron, said a few words of wel­come in behalf of the men from Iowa State. Other speakers included Exec­utive Secretary W. Bernard Jones, Jr .; District Archon Wayne Moore; and Nu Alumni, Bill Simpson and Winfield Elmen.

The officers elected and installed to help guide Nu chapter for the coming semester are: Donald Eckel, archon; Roy Haracek, treasurer; Jerry Dike, secretary; Curtis Venell, historian ; Gene Norton, chaplain; and Edwin Spar, warden.

KELLY RETURNS to GAMMA • • t'Ja-•4 ';tJu#UU~t rltted4 rl~e~tetal rltum~U B~

ALUMNI, actives, and pledges of Gamma flocked to San Francisco

to honor Theodore B. Kelly, founder of Gamma, on the night of April 20th. The occasion was Gamma's Annual Alumni Banquet held again th is year at the New Tivoli Restaurant in San Francisco's famed International Set­tlement. Too, Ted Kelly had returned to Gamma after many years absence.

Times have changed since Ted Kelly made a visit to California in 1907 and decided to attend U. C. at Berkley, then a school of some 5,000 students. (On June 17th the graduating class was over 8,000.) Yes, 42 years have slipped by and Gamma is no longer a group of 1 7 men, mostly engineers or science ma­jors living on $250.00 a year, but Pi Kappa Phi's Chapter at California has grown to a group of some 50 men with a variety of majors with the living cost, needless to say, slightly

.higher. The million dollar Hearst Gymnasium for Women replaces the waving wheat fields that Ted Kelly remembers so well opposite the pres­ent Chapter House.

By Dick Fiscus, Gamma

Jim Hamilton, '23, Gamma Alum­ni Adviser, arose to introduce the guest of honor. He spoke of the priv­ilege of speaking-and sitting there in the spirit of fraternal fellowship. "Ted had the idea." In mass the alumni, actives, and pledges, the men of Pi Kappa Phi 1908-1953, gave the Founder of Gamma a standing ova­tion.

"Forty years ago a little group of men started to form a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, thousands of miles west of the home chapter-this turnout to­night is almost unbelievable, and not much credit is due me," said Kelly modestly. "The credit goes to Dimm­ler, Fraser, Seligman, Long, Hugo, Matthews, Armstrong, Gerson, and all those who followed. Dave Hardy carried on the work along with Jim Hamilton and Boyd Oliver."

Telegrams of best wishes were read before Archon Lloyd Heger in­troduced R. Eugene Kraber, Na­tional Traveling Counselor. Kraber announced the plans for Pi Kapp expansion and welcomed Beta Delta

Notional Council of Pi Kappa Phi Meeting at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, June 11-12. Left to right : W. Jones, Jr., Executive Secretory; Theron A. Houser, Notional Chancellor; John W. Deimler, Notional Treasurer; Howard D. Leake, President; J. AI Head, Notional Secretory; and Frederick Grim, Notional Historian.

THERE is something very unusual about a meeting of the executive

group of an organization like Pi Kap­pa Phi fraternity. 'Tis, in a sense, neither "fish nor fowl". 'Tis neither quite purely social nor quite purely business, 'Tis that rare combina­tion of business accomplishment and good fellowship. The meeting held at the John Marshall hotel in Rich­mond over the week end of June 11-12 was no exception. A hard hit­ting business program was combined with a wholely' successful, though spontaneous, social program to make the session a very lively one.

The liveliness of the 19 50 conven­tion site issue precipitated its being pulled out of the middle of the agen­da and placed at the head thereof. Leading contenders for the host role were Roanoke, Virginia and Portland, Oregon. After careful deliberation, the National Council confirmed the expressed wish of the 1948 conven­tion assemblage and selected Port­land . The convention is to be held Aug. 23, 24, 25 and 26, 1950.

A review of the expansion program took an important place in the meet­ing. The Council reviewed, with par­donable pride, the program of the 1948-49 school year. Organizations were installed at Florida Southern College, .The University of Louisville, The Univ~rsity of Nebraska, Drake University, The University of Mis­souri, The University of Mississippi, and Cornell University; making a total of 44 active undergraduate chapters. Following the mandate ol the Twenty-Second Supreme Chapter, the Council instructed the Execu­tive Secretary to continue the exten­sive expansion program.

The Council handled many rou­tine matters not worthy of detailed note here. The Central Office tenta­tive itinerary for the 1949-50 school year was reviewed and approved. The budget proposal for that period was reviewed and approved.

A comprehensive report by Na­tional Historian Grim was concluded with the selection of Alpha Iota's

chapter publication, The Alota, winner of the President's award for the 1948-49 year. Alpha chapter at the Newark of Engineering was selected as 1

chapter with the highest scbolM standings in the fraternity, and 1 ~ winner of the Official FraterP1

The December edition of UPSI­LON UPS was the most attractive one edition.

The January edition of THE AL­PHA ZETA NEWS had the most thought provoking editorial.

Recognition for effort (three or more editions) go to THE ALMIC­RON; Omega's OMEGALITE; AL­PHA TAUX, published by Alpha Tau chapter; UPSILON UPS, Upsi­lon's publication; Epsilon's THE EPSILONIAN; and THE GAMMA­ZETTE, published by Gamma.

Two editions of THE DOUBLE BETA BLAST, published by Beta Beta at Florida Southern College,

were particularly well done for a chapter which was only installed last November. At this writing Beta Beta is not quite a year old. If the two editions they submitted are a sample of what we are to expect in the fu­ture from this young chapter let other aspirants be forewarned.'

A total of forty-six editions were received in all, the greatest number ~ver produced by the chapters. It 1s the expressed belief that the com­ing year should bring an even great­er number of editions.

National President Howard D. Leake will present the winning chap­ter with the "President's Plaque" at a District Conclave to be held at Auburn, Alabama in October.

"Portrait of

Service" By Frederick Grim, National

Historian

Theron A. Houser, Zeta, National Chancellor

National Chancellor Theron A. Houser, Zeta, (pictured above) is completing his 15th year as a mem­ber of the National Council. He suc­ceeded Albert W. Meisel, the first National ChanceJlor of Pi Kappa Phi when he was elected to the Council in 1934, and has served faithfully and most efficiently since that time. His present tenure in office will ex­pire in August, 1950.

Brother Houser's record of service, on the council, has never been equal­led by any Pi Kapp. He has never been absent from a council meeting and has given thousands of opinions on our Constitution and Supreme Laws. He has never had an opinion countermanded by the council or a Supreme Chapter.

When Pi Kappa Phi was founded on December 10, 1904 "Ted" Houser was the ripe old age of 7 months and 2 days. Having seen the light of the southern skies on May 8, 1904, A.D., he spent his early years in the task of growing up. This birth and evo­lution to manhood took place in St. Matthews, South Carolina and the better part of his life bas been spent there.

After finishing high school, he en­tered Wofford College where he was initiated into Zeta chapter. He re­ceived his B.A. degree in 1924, and he then entered law school of the University of South Carolina where he received his L.L.B. degree.

Brother Houser was serving as

District Archon when he was elected to the National Council. During this position he organized the dozen or so Pi Kapps in St. Matthews into an alumni chapter. It is the only alumni chapter that can show a one hundred per cent membership and a one hundred per cent of subscribers to the "Voluntary Dues Fund."

To his intimates Brother Houser is known variously as "Ted" or "Bill." As you might expect, his ac­tivities are not confined to the fra­ternity. He was City solicitor of St. Matthews and is now its Mayor.

Brother Houser married the form­er Miss Hattie Marshall Ford of Dothan, Alabama. They have a charming daughter, Myra Kennerly, who attended her first National Con­vention in Birmingham, Ala., the summer of 1946. Ted's family has always added grace and charm to many Pi Kapp affairs.

In addition to his law practice at St. Matthews, the National Chancel­lor operates a farm where he can be found dispensing cotton, oats, corn , hogs and opinions on the Constitu­tion and Supreme Laws of Pi Kappa Phi.

We know that the day is fast ap­proaching when "Ted" will lay down the duties of his office, perchance for "higher things" or a rest from of­ficial duties, but regardless of his fu­ture path it was felt that the Breth­ren would like to know and honor this portrait of service to our beloved Pi Kappa Phi.

Jack Steward, Alpha Zeta, new Traveling Counselor

He was initiated into Alpha Zeta Chapter at Oregon State College in April, 1943, just before he was inducted into military service. Together with six other Alpha Zetans, Jack returned to Oregon State in the spring of 1946 to resume his education and to help reactivate Alpha Zeta. He has held the offices of chaplain, warden, secretary, and archon of Alpha Zeta, and before he gradu­ated in June of this year, he was pledge trainer and editor of publications for the chapter.

Jack comes well qualified to assi~t our chapters in every way. He majored in courses in personnel man­agement in the school of Business and Technology at Oregon State. His other forte is journalism. On the Oregon campus, he has been night editor of the Daily Barometer staff; staff member of the BEAVER, year­book; student directory, student handbook, and an ad­vance publicity publication to prospective Oregon Staters. He is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic society.

For two years Brother Steward worked on the Oregon chest drive. Last year he directed publicity and served as co-chairman of the drive this year. Last summer he represented Alpha Zeta as their delegate to the Detroit

Pi Kapp Writes Life of "Florida's Flagler"

"Florida's Flagler," by Dr. Sidney Walter Martin, Delta, a biography of the near-legendary man who gave his life and fortune to the develop­ment of the State of Florida, was released by the University of Georgia Press April 7.

This book, the first authentic bi­ography of Flagler, who died in 1913 , traces his life from his youth through his early dealings in grain, his asso­ciation with John D. Ro~efeller, and his later activities in Florida. The major part of the work treats his role as promoter of Florida.

S. Wolter Martin, Delta

Brother Martin, a native of Tif­ton, Ga., also wrote "Florida During Territorial Days." He bas been a member of the University of Georgia history faculty for 14 years. He holds an A. B. degree from Furman University, an M. A. from Georgia, and his Ph. D. from North Carolina.

The jacket of the. book, done in red, white, and black and featuring a profile of Flagler, was designed by David Norman, of Homerville, Ga., in a contest sponsored by the Uni­versity of Georgia's art department class in commercial design.

Until just recently Brother Martin was chapter adviser of Lambda chap­ter.

Wooten Auction Attracts National Interest

"Wooton" the estate of the late George · W. Childs Drexe l, Alpha Upsilon, Philadelphia philanthropist.

On authority of the executors of the estate of the late George W. Childs Drexel, Alpha Upsilon, the valuable furnishings, art collection, and precious stones belonging to his estate were sold at public auction in May.

The will, which directed that the proceeds of the sale were to be used to establish two endowment funds at Drexel Institute of Technology, pro­hibited the use of the funds for the purchase of land or erection of new buildings.

The auction, reported at some length in the public press, was con­ducted in proper order and was con­sidered eminently successful by both the firm of auctioneers and Drexel Institute officials. The total realized was 20% greater than had been antic­ipated. In addition, the Drexel Stu­dent War Memorial Fund, inaug­urated in 1946, was $3 100 richer because of an arrangement whereby individuals were charged a nomimal sum when visiting the exhibition or the auction.

REMEMBER ...

The jewelry, attracting natio~11

interest, was sold before enthusiS: groups who- while not matching figure paid originally by member! the Drexel family- again exc the auction price estimated bY agents.

It was felt by unofficial obsel'l that, at Wooton, the Bryn l\l Pennsylvania home of the late G. Childs Drexel, and at the sale of jewelry, a number of sales were n> to persons whose primary in.te was in the Drexel family assoctB1

with the articles rather than in tt material value.

George W. Childs Drexel was tiated into Alpha Upsilon chapte; an alumnus on December 6, 1 the same day that another meo1

of the philanthropic Philade~ family, Anthony Joseph Drexel was initiated. George W. 0 Drexel died in September 1944

the age of seventy-six. He was : vived by his wife who has died 51

that time. It is anticipated that the prt

estate, "Wooton," will also be ~· at a later date.

Answer To Questions Under Picture On

Page 12 Second Convention of Pi Kappa

Phi. The picture was taken at Sulli­van's Island outside of Charleston, S. C. on July 11, 1912 . Top row from l to r: George Howard, Epsilon 6; ? Nichols; J. 0. Moody, Zeta 14 ; Jack Barry, Epsilon 1; John Hamer, Sigma 4; John D. Carroll, Sigma 13. Middle row, 1 to r: Wade H. Brewton, Sr., Eta 2; Chester H. Prouty, Gamma 13; David P. Hardy, Gamma 16. Bottom row, I to r: William L. Shaw (deceased), Epsilon 10; Founder Simon Fogarty, Alpha 2. (Please! Can anyone tell us who is the second man from the left on the top row? The only Nichols re­corded in CO as having been initi­ated around that time is a Fred Nichols, Zeta 133, initiated January 16, 191 7. However, the Nichols in the picture could be a pledge who never affiliated.)

The fraternity is indebted to George Howard , Epsilon, Professor· of Education at the University of Alabama, who attended the 1912 Convention and ran across the pic­ture last year. The last names only of the men appeared in pencil on the back of the snapshot.

Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl Retires as Archon of District 10

Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl, Alpha Theta, Archon of District X for the past three years, has retired after ren­dering the greatest assistance and service to the Michigan State Chap­ter, the only undergraduate ch~;tpter in District X. In turning over the District Archon reins, Dr. Sholl did not retire from the local Pi Kapp scene. You will find him most any time with his head together with Chap,ter Adviser Stanley S. Radford , cooking up little schemes for the palate of Alpha Theta. They are the big wheels at Michigan State College which are steadily grinding in Alpha Theta's favor.

Dr. Sholl 's guardianship of Alpha Theta began back in 1927 when be was initiated into the Michigan State

20

chapter. At the same time he was appointed chapter adviser. His stew­ardship lasted until 1946 when he was called to fill the vacant district archon post. Professor Stanley S. Radford, Alpha Theta, stepped in to fill the gap as chapter adviser which Dr. Sholl vacated. Alpha Theta is a most fortunate chapter to have two such able men as Dr. Sholl and Pro­fessor Radford as guardian angels.

Dr. Sholl's service to Alpha Theta has been beyond the call of duty, of the variety that cannot be purchased for money - that intangible essence so often taken for granted, yet more often than not when taken away, so poignantly missed.

About a year before the close of World War II , Dr. Sholl acted as go­between th'e chapter and the alumni,

Dr. Lloyd B. Sholl, Alpha Theta

when consultation was in process re­garding the chapter's future housing. He and Professor Radford held long conferences. with the Detroit alumni. The end result was the development of a sound system of financing for Alpha Theta which has worked out greatly to its advantage.

Through the combined efforts of Dr. Sholl , Professor Radford , and the alumni, two beautiful and choice lots owned by Alpha Theta were sold on a high market. The sale of the lots netted the chapter the surplus neederl

laid out with the exception of the front page which is left until the last. Standard titles of columns are pasted into place and the number of words are again counted. (The GAMMA­ZETTE uses the same print that is found in the Saturday Evening Post so our number of words for each column are counted out with the mag­azine column, and believe it or not when printed the space is almost exactly the same.) The same method is used on the front page, however additional room must be left for the main headlines, and subtitles. We try to place the most important. fea­tures on the front page even though space there is usually at a premium.

As was mentioned before, reporters for certain columns are appointed by the editor. This usually depends on the individual's interests. Too, the special features are either written by the editor or a reporter writes a fea­ture with the editor. With several people taking notes at an event dif­ferent slants and opinions are ob­tained.

Yes, the active chapter CAN be proud of their paper if all work to­gether to make it a suc<:ess.

uses our GAMMAZETTE as his sample copy. The IFC and other house papers here on campus use it as a guide. I guess there was a lot of improvement.)

JOHNSON STORY WINS PULITZER PRIZE

(Continued from Page 5)

Malcolm Johnson was borl) on September 27, 1904, in Claremont, Ga., and was reared in nearby Gainesville. Two decades away from. the South have taken a good deal of the accent from his tongue, but it is likely to return in moments of ex­citement; his talk the day the prize was announced was definitely Geor­gian.

William M. Johnson, his father, a lawyer, died when Mike was 13. His

mother, the former Estelle Bolding, a woman of character and courage, brought up her brood - Mike, the eldest, and a brother and four sis­ters, all still living in the South.

Mike went to Mercer University in the class of 1926, and became a re­porter on the Macon Telegraph, in the university town. There he re­mained for four years, 1925 to 1928, getting training under the able man­aging editor, Mark Ethritlge, now publisher of the Louisville Courier­Journal. For The Telegraph, he ex­posed th!! doings of the Ku Klux Klan in Toombs County, Ga., only this year again the scene of a lynch­ing. The articles gained statewide and even national attention; one man, mistaken for an informant, was beat­en and left for dead, and the Gov­ernor of Georgia offered protection when Mike 's life was threatened.

Johnson has worked on most of the major news stories in and around New York since he came to The New York Sun on September 24, 1928. Among them were the failure of the Bank of the United States, the burn­ing of the steamship Morro Castle-­which he still says gave him his hard­est single day's work- the "Ameri­can Tragedy" murder by Bobbie Ed­wards in Pennsylvania, an¢1 many others, always interspersed with small but well handled minor news.

WAR CORRESPONDENT For some time Makolm Johnson

covered night clubs for The Sun; a casual assignment grew to such pro­portions that he took over the beat. When the war came he was needed back on general news. He was The Sun's Pacific correspondent with the Navy in the conflict's latter days. Major operations which he covered included the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, and he was on the battle­ship Iowa when the Navy first bom­barded the Japanese mainland, on the Missouri when the surrender was signed in Tokyo Bay. He went back to the Pacific briefly in 1946 for the atomic bomb test at Bikini.

In 1946 Johnson wrote a series of articles on truck hijackers, which won good mention and paved the path for his water front success, since sources he developed then helped him later. But his versatility was shown, for instance, when he wrote a series of articles retelling in modern phrase

Jl

the story of the Nativity, published at Christmas time in 194 7, and the next Easter, a series giving the story of the Passion. These were praised by clergymen and members of the laity.

Johnson is short, stocky, dark of complexion, with deep brown eyes and black hair. His face, with prom­inent nose, is most mobile. He smiles all over it, but in moments of con­centration he scowls terrifyingly. One of his small constant habits is to chew the butt end of a pencil when he types. Occasionally he substitutes a cigar for the pencil, though mostly and frequently he smokes cigarettes. He has his own set of stock phrases, including one often repeated, always with a devout look: "I wish I had a hundred million dollars- tax free!"

Johnson married Miss Ludie Ad­ams, also a native of Georgia, on December 4, 192 8.. Their children are Haynes Bonner Johnson, Sarah Montie Johnson, Michael Bolding Johnson and Paul Adams Johnson. Paul was born a month before he received the Pulitzer prize.

·There was worthy competition this year for the prize. Johnson had made a characteristic effort to keep his ex­pectations from rising too high, bad kept telling himself that nomination was far from election. The word that he was winner was really a surprise to him.

Glowing though he was, be told the man who was to write about his achievement, "Look, I worked hard on the stories-sure. But I had luck, too. I've worked hard on other stor­ies, and fallen flat on my face. The woods - r really mean this - the woods are full of reporters who could do as good a job."

Johnson, usually an accurate news­paper man, there fell into an error.

Word of the death of Robert E. Champ, Alpha Delta, of Hoquiam, Washington has recently reached Central Office. No fur ­ther particulars other than he was killed in the late war.

William Irving Morgan, Gamma, died some time during 1949. The news of Brother Morgan's death was received from the Alumni Office of the University of California. No further details were avail­able.

The University of Missouri (Continued from Pug<' 10)

often called the most beautiful piece of Gothic architecture m America. And under the administration of President Frederick A. Middlebu£h, who took office in 1935, the Univer­sity has undergone considerable ex­pansion both in its physical plant a:nd in its student body. It has come through another World War with an exemplary record of war service and has become one of the real leaders in the education of war veterans. A r the same time it made every effort to pqJVide adequate facilities for the State's current high school graduates.

The University's ten schools and colleges, including the School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rollo, Mis­souri, is governed by a Board of Curators, the nine members of which are appointed by the Governor and approved by the Legislature.

The fall of 194 7 saw more than 400 temporary buildings constructed on the Columbia campus anr.l 39

erected at Rollo to house the Jar~ veteran enrollment. The GI studer made up three-fourths of thi! tot· enrollment at Columbia and a Jafl er percentage of the enrollment Rolla. Although the total enrolJnW in all divisions of the University h.~ gone up to 14,071 as compared W1~ 12,560 of the previous fall, the nun ber of GI students enrolled h ~ decreased by 259, while the nurn~ of non-veterans increased bv 1,71

on the two campuses. The ·fall ~ mester of 1948-49 showed anotl1.1

decrease of 839 veterans in all cliVI' ions as compared with the previo: year but an almost equal increase

~t4t<J'Ueat S~td tJ/ ?:)~ U~ewe'fditf~ !&~take u~iversity was founded in inary announcement, issued early in lt. l Under the leadership of Daniel the year 1881, which reads as fol­Geor ucas, Frances Marion Drake, lows: Presiae Thomas Carpenter, the first "This university has been design­friend ent an~ chancellor! ancl other ed upon a broad, liberal and modern

s of higher educatwn. ' 1' basis. The articles of incorporation es 0fe broad views and high purpos- provide that all its departments and are 1 the founders of the university immunities shall be opened to all

or race. In its management and in­fluence it will aim at being Christian, without being sectarian."

At its opening the university in­cluded the following departments: college of liberal arts, then called the " literary department"; college of the Bible; conservatory of music, reorganized in 1909 as the college of fine arts; the commercial school, and the academy. Affiliated with the un­iversity at that time were the Iowa College of Law and the College of Medicine. Both later became integral colleges of the university. The latter, however, was discontinued in 191 3. The commercial school and the acad­emy likewise were discontinued.

The second college to be added to the university's original organization was the college of education, estab­lished as such in 1908. The college of commerce and finance was organ­ized in 1923 after previous existence as a department and school.

A graduate division was formed in 1936 and in 1939 the college of pharmacy was added to the univer­sity when the Des Moines College of Pharmacy was moved to the campus.

Thus, at present, the university is composed of the following: Col­lege of the Bible ; College of Commerce and Finance ; College of Education; College of Fine Arts ; College of Liberal Arts; College of Pharmacy; Law School ; Community College; and Graduate Division.

Drake is located in northwest Des Moines in the area known as Uni­versity Place. The campus covers an area about three blocks long and two blocks wide.

Recently opened were two build­ings considered the ultimate in col­legiate architecture. These are the Harvey Ingham Hall of Science and the Fitch Hall of Pharmacy, built and equipped at a cost of about $1,400,000. Other buildings to be constructed in the next year are a three-unit dormitory and a liberal arts-journalism building.

Enrollment the current semester is just slightly under 4,000, with an­other 1,500 students attending eve­ning and Saturday classes.

The Drake Relays, founded in 1910 by the late Major John L.

33

Griffith, are held the last Friday and Saturday in April each year. T hey have become "America's Athletic Classic" and annually attract the cream of America's collegiate track athletes.

There are eight national fratern­ities on the campus; Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Theta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Phi Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi.

There also are seven national so­rorities: Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Mu.

. One of the surprises of the eve­ning was the presentation of a plaque · to Harold A. Cowles, Archon of Alpha Omicron, by John Coons, Ar­chon of Beta Delta, in appreciation of the services Alpha Omicron had rendered Beta Delta.
