Pi Kappa Phi Goes to Arizona FIFTEEN hundred miles or more separate Pi Kappa

Phi chapters at the University of California and the University of Nebraska. That gap has existed since 1915 when Nu Chapter was founded at the University of Nebraska.

April 28 saw the first link in that span placed at the University of . Arizona when the Beta Theta Chapter was chartered in ceremonies presided over by National President Theron A. Houser, St. ¥atthews, S. C., and Executive Secretary W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Richmond, Va.

Mrs. Pottenger Receives Roses

Mr. Jones presented a bouquet of red roses to Mrs. W. A. Pottenger, pointing out that "Mrs. Pottenger holds a distinction claimed by no other person on the face of the earth. She has three sons who have been presidents of their respective Pi Kappa Phi chapters. Here, it was her third son, Bill, who came from Chicago with the will to pioneer for Pi Kappa Phi just as did Theodore B. Kelly at the University of California in 1907." Mrs. Pottenger's other two sons are James, founding archon of Beta Theta, and John, Alpha Phi '43, who lives in Chicago.

Mrs. Thomas Gilmour, mother of charter member Thomas Gilmour, was presented roses in appreciation for the lovely buffet dinner she prepared for the new

Beta Theta on its installation day and her many oth kindnesses to the chapter.

Mrs. Bob Brown, wife of the new Beta Thel archon, was presented a bouquet of roses.

Charter Is Presented

President Houser presented the founding arcbol James Pottenger, and the chartering archon, J3!1 Brown, the Beta Theta charter and then started ~~ evening dance festivities by conducting the "Rose.~ Pi Kappa Phi pinning ceremonies" which saw ft~ badges change from shirts to evening gowns in I course of 30 minutes.

The first meeting, which led to the events i11'

described, was held February 8, 1949, at the home . William Pottenger. The men present, Stephen fle:t' Don Witmeyer, Stephen Spencer, and Mr. Potteng decided to form a colony, and the group was designa! as the Pi Kappa Phi Club. The first social funcl11

was held the following March 26. The membership grew to 17 by the end of the sch~

year, May, 1949. A petition was submitted to 1

university, and in June, 1949, Kappa Phi was rec · nized as a local fraternity and became a member of tt. Interfraternity Council. William Pottenger married a: went into training for the ministry. Second archon 11_'

Purdue's National

Omega­Champion

Davidson's Epsilon, Iowa State's Alpha Omicron Are Runners-Up

QMEGA Chapter, Purdue niversity, running per-fect scores for month after month, amassed an

amazing 401 batting average to be Pi Kappa Phi 's number one chapter for the 1950-51 school year thus heading the list of 20 chapters awarded "Master Chapter" certificates in June.

Sporadic work from the office of historian destroyed Davidson's chance of overtaking the high-flying boiler­makers . Rushing committee ease-up waylaid Alpha Omicron in its attempt to cop the bunting, and it had to b2 happy with the third spot.

Mid-West Chapters Rank High

Midwestern organizations exhibited their excellent attitude toward their fraternity in that while only 11 of our 47 chapters are in the Middle West, four of these are among the top seven.

Western organizations were paced by a swashbuck­ling crew from Gamma at California. Solid in every department, it placed fourth.

Virginia Groups Speed Up

Washington and Lee, and Roanoke, the Virginia chapters, closed at a terrific pace to move into the charmed circle late in the season. Particularly of interest was the scholarship progress chart maintained by Roanoke. The result saw it move from a 225 aggre­gation to a final 316.

Florida saw three of its five chapters in the big ring. Florida State led this contingent with a solid 357 for eighth place. Florida caught on to the scholar­ship idea late and finished with a rush to land twelfth place with a respectable 323.

Drake, in seventh place, is the post-War chapter champion.

Wofford was the lone South Carolina chapter to crash into the upper strata. Outstanding scholarship kept it up in the running all year.

Flamboyant outfits from Georgia and Georgia Tech had to take lessons from a steady unit at Emory which was the only Georgia organization to hit the big time.

Scholarship Is Stumbling Block

Auburn, Nebraska, and Cornell were the outstand­ing organizations which saw the lack of scholarship wreck their chances for placing in the winners' circle. These organizations were outstanding in every department except scholarship. Nebraska, Stetson, and Illinois Tech had outstanding historians for the year, historians who batted 1000 in their departments.

''Champion Pledger'' Collects Antiques HIS ACHIEVEMENTS for Pi Kappa Phi during the

years since he was initiated into Eta Chapter, Emory University, 31 years ago have won for Euchlin D. Reeves, Providence, R. I., the title of "Champion Pledger." When asked about his methods, he declined to discuss them, saying he would reveal them at the next Pi Kapp convention.

"It is with pardonable pride that I note how some of my personal pledges have made their mark in the world," Mr. Reeves confided. "And as for the fra­ternity in general, where we lack in quantity we cer­tainly make up in quality." ·

In looking back over his academic career. Mr. Reeves related that he did his preparatory work at Piedmont Academy. He started his higher education at Emory and then transferred to Washington and Lee, where he obtained his LL.B. degree in 1927, and also transferred his fraternity membership to Rho Chapter, and, as he put it, "rounded out seven full and glorious years with Pi Kappa Phi." After gradua­tion, Mr. Reeves sold fraternity jewelry for Burr­Patterson and Auld for five years. Later, in 1932 , he was a partner with his cousin, Hazard E. Reeves, Iota '24, Georgia Tech, in the Reeves Sound Studios, 1600 Broadway, New York City. When .Euchlin Reeves ' mother's health broke down in 1933, he left the sound business and returned to Clarkesville, Ga., where he assisted his mother in operating her Summer hotel. In 1940, after his mother's death, he went with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company as retail sales supervisor in Providence.

Two Houses of Antiques

Mr. and Mrs. Reeves specialize on fine Eighteen!~ Century china. In fact, they have such an elaboral collection of china and other antiques that it takt­two houses to lodge them. 1

First, the Reeveses bought a narrow red brick dW~1 ing, about 100 years old, on Benevolent Street, wh1

they remodeled between 1938 and 1941. Here the) arranged many of their antiques and planted a garde~ with a stone terrace for afternoon teas. They calle1 this house their "Little Museum." Then they boug~r the house on the other side of the garden for th~ own home. By that time they had accumulated enottrt antiques, including the ones handed down in b0~ families, to furni sh both places. When guests come ~~ week ends or longer, they stay in the home and ~ and Mrs. Reeves move into the museum.

November 8, 1943, Mr. Carr was advanced to executive vice-president and general manager of the rapidly expanding athletic equipment firm, and began the most colorful phase of his career.

The United States was at war, and the Rawlings Manufacturing Company had received a war contract to design and produce helmets for the tank men who were to spearhead the great military advances in every theater of operations. He was directly responsible for the design, approval, and production of the helmet. And he got them there, and on time.

Largely because of his efforts and management skill, the Rawlings Manufacturing Company was awarded the Army-Navy "E", the first so awarded to any manufacturer of athletic equipment. In the long months of tireless production that followed, three more awards came to the firm for service to the Government.

September 25, 1946, Mr. Carr was elected president of Rawlings, a firm that today is manufacturing equip­ment and uniforms for the major competitive sports­football, baseball, basketball, and softball-a firm whose name is known around the world.

(Continued on Page 17)

The baseballs which Claude E. Carr, left, president of the Rawlings Manufacturing Company, St. Louis, is examining are special balls, sewn with gold thread and stomped with gold ink. Rawlings furnished these baseballs to the minor leagues using the Rawlings balls to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Minor Leagues. With Mr. Carr is Oscar Roettger, director of Rawlings Professional Baseball Department.

Doings at Alpha Omega, University of Oregon

By GLEN GARRETT Historian

Miss Nancy Alli~on T he Fehl71 Studio

Group Crowns Queen Miss Nancy Allison, Portland, Ore., a major in Art

Education at the university, was chosen Rose of 1951 by ~lpha Omega and presented a dozen red roses at the Rose Ball April 28. The presentation was made by Miss Norma Allen, 1950 Rose, while Archon Fred Decker placed a crested locket about her neck. Miss Allison was escorted by Wiiliam Gaffney.

The other members of the court were Princesses Tatia Wiilia~s, Salem, Ore., escorted by Warren Woodruff, and Jeanne Alexander, escorted by her husband, Miles Alexander. Each princess was present­ed a dozen yellow roses and a crested bracelet.

In keeping with the "Rose" theme, the house was lavishly decorated to appear as a rose garden. Lattice­work about the rooms was inter-woven with greenery, vines, and red roses. A perfumed water fountain kept the air cool and fragrant.

Chapter Gets New House Alpha Omega moved into its new home at 1385

Franklin Blvd., Eugene, Ore., May 6. The new resi· dence seems to be ideal for fraternal Jiving, because although it is away from the rest of the campus and its spontaneous activities, the members can Jive and work together without constant interruption.

The house sits back about 100 yards from tJJe university's famous mill race. The Jot is about 150x22l feet, not tn mention an acre field at the rear whicll can be used for sports.

The woman who lived here before the. fraternit) moved in was active in the Eugene Flower Club, and she left a fortune in flowers, plants, and shrubs on t}le lot. Each is a fine specimen of its kind. Large trees....­fruit , nut, pine, fir, and cedar- furnish ample shade for comfortable living.

The house is a solidly-built frame structure, re· modeled on the inside two years ago. The first flo01

consists of a large living room with fireplace, dinin~ room, and a large kitchen--quite a relief to the coo~ after the cramped kitchen facilities in the old house· Since there are only two floors and a full basement, a sleeping problem was presented. This was solved wbeP the largest of the upstairs rooms was made into a sleeP' ing porch. The other: three rooms are used for studY· The all-concrete basement is partially taken up by aP oil furnace and fruit room. Two showers have befP installed in the basement near the wash tubs. The h0

1

water supply problem was solved with the instaJlatioP of a new 40-gallon tank in sequence with the old one· The new chapter room will take up one side of the basement. There is still plenty of room to construct another small sleeping room along one of the otbef walls, should the necessity arise.

The pledges contributed much to the cleaning up of the house and Jot during the recent initiation·.

Eaton Is Billiard Celebritj Alpha Omega has the honor of having a sporU

celebrity in its midst. Kenneth Eaton, the Dalles, ore athletic chairman, came through for the Pi Kapps b1 capturing the Pacific Coast Three-Cushion BiJliara crown April 5 in a telephonic tournament.

GLEN GARRETT GIVES FRENCH HORN RECITAL

By DON HIBBARD, Editor Alpha Omegan

THE UNIVERSITY of Oregon School of Music presented a French Horn Recital by Glen Garrett,

Alpha Omega, of Salem, Ore., May 20. Only rarely is a full program presented , featuring the French born, as it is normally used as an ensemble instrument.

The program, including works by Hindemith , Brahms, and Mozart, was well received. Particularly noticed was the fact that it drew the largest faculty attendance for the year for any student recital.

Mr. Garrett has been active in music for a number of years, beginning French horn when he was in the sixth grade. He won high honors while in high school. He traveled to Olympia, Wash., where he appeared as guest soloist when only a junior, attending Salem High School. He earned first chair in both the Univer­sity Band and the Symphony Orchestra when he was a freshman at the University of Oregon. While be was a sophomore he appeared as featured soloist with the University Band on tour. This year be bas been active in both instrumental groups and various chamber music programs. He has been selected as one of the featured soloists with the University Symphony Or­chestra for this Fall. These organizations are noted as being among the outstanding college musical organiza­tions in the Northwest.

Drexel's Alpha Upsilon Wins Sing

The Glee Club of Alpha Upsilon, Drexel , tied this year with Tau Kappa Epsilon for top hoaors in Kano, a sing participated in each Spring by the fraternities on the campus. "Kano" is the Greek word meaning " sing". The songs in which Jack Stoner directed the group were "All through the Night" and "The Old Gray Robe," a Negro spi ritual. Mr. Stoner directed the club last year also, when it won the bronze trophy for top place.

Great Preach To You

training student ministers while at the same time fj))Jng endless preaching engagements in churches, over the air, and as a college and university preacher.

His winning personality and extemporaneous de· livery have won him large audiences. This same coJil· bination elicits the best from his students. Eved though enrollment at Union has more than double. since World War II, Dr. Scherer keeps his clas;>e' small by the simple but fatiguing device of haVJilg more classes in the day. He uses tape to record the speeches of the students who can thereby hear theJlY selves speaking and better understand the criticiSll1' made by fellow students as well as the professor.

1 Dr. Scherer was born June 22, 1892, at Mt. Fiol ) Springs, Penna., where his father was a Luther~~ minister. When he was seven years of age, the fa1T1 1~ moved to Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, S. Here he went to the high school of Charleston, wberr he was taught English by Thomas F. Mosimann, one of the charter members of the fraternity. This wa~ only one of many close associations with Pi KaPP' which brought him naturally into the fraternity.

''HAP'' SAAR YE WRITES

OF HIS WORK IN KOREA

Through the courtesy of Alpha Omega, University of Oregon, the Star and Lamp is able to give you below the text of a letter which 1st Lt. Harold P. Saabye, Alpha Omega '26, 25th Fgt. Intp. Sqd., APO 917, cj o PM, San Francisco, Calif., wrote to his chapter from Tsuiki, Japan . April 11:

Alpha Omegan Comes

"The other day I was very sur­prised to find February's issue of the Alpha Omegan. This note is a direct result of same.

"Perhaps deep in the annals of Alpha Omega history you may find my name, but I doubt there are many of your number who recall the time when I, too, roamed the campus. I regret that I was able to serve as a member of Pi Kappa Phi for such a short time. However, if there is one among you who would take my place here I would gladly rotate, so that I might carry on.

"At present I'm attached, (body and soul) to the 51st Fighter Inter­ceptor Group based in Japan . We fly

combat missions over Korea each day and return to our tents at Tsuiki. It's a swell job- full of excitement and glamour. At least that 's what I used to think. We fly F-80 jets, fire rockets, drop bombs, napalm, and in general raise hell with anything on the ground. Our only sweat is MIGs, flack , and the possibility of being forced down in North Korea. T~ey hate " fly-boys."

Wants Letters

"Now this sounds like a gripe, a nd i apologize as it was not intended as such. Merely an informative letter and one of thanks for the fraternity news. If any of the fellows are still around who used to help me kill snakes on the golf course, give them my address. I'd appreciate hearing from them.

"Congratulations on the GPA (Grade Point Average) standing. In fact there are several large improve­ments you are to be commended for .

"Fraternally yours, "Hap Saabye"
