Arrangements are swiftly being clom­pleted by Kallikrates chapter for thee:ntertainment of the Eleventh NationalConvention of the Alpha Rho Chi Pro'­fessional Architectural Fraternity at theUniversity of Virginia, January first andsecond.

To the delegates who will be privi­ledged to attend the convention theUniversity of Virginia, located adjacentto Charlottesville, Va., should prove ofgreat interest from the standpoint ofA.lll'erican architectural history. Thecampus of the University and many ofits buildings were planned by ThomasJ efferso'n, who served his country asPresident.

Kallikrates has secured the use of})olly 1IIadison Inn, a converted Colon'iaIhonTe, to house the chapter delegatesduring the convention. Just what plansthey have up their sleeves in the matterof entertainment have 'not been revealed,but it is reasonably certain that the tra-

ditional stag banquet will close the con­vention, consequently delegates betterbuy lOr borrow a "tux."

Interim Reports DueAs matters stand :now the convention

will not have as much business on theadvance slate as is usual. When thesessions open more may of cours'e de­velop. Minor clar'ifications of the con­stitution will be presented for oonsider­atio'n, reports of the interim committeeswill be held, a petition for a chapterpresented at Ann Arbor last year willcome up for vote, a new petition willprobably be presented and the conven­tion will elect a W. G. A.

Two committee rep1ortsof importanceare due. First, the committee on stand­ards of probatio'n for petitioning chap­ters and second the committee on songs.The first report is to com'e from a COlll­

mittee C1omposed of H. R. Peterson,W. G. S.; ]. J. Patterson, G. L., and C.\v. Ditchy, Past W. G. A. The Iktinosdelegate will present the song report.

In keeping with the spirit of the lastconvention, that a probation period forpetitioning bodies was desirable, a peti­tion presented last year was consideredfavorably, but action was deferred untilthis ooming convention.

Artificial EarthquakesI t is r'elated of him that he quarrelled

with his next door neighbor Zeno andproceeded to annoy hilTI in two ways.

First, he made a number of flexibleleather tubes and contrived to fastenthelTI among the joists under the flolor­ing of a fine upper room in which Zeno\:vas accustomed to entertain his guests.By passing steam thru these tubes hecaused a lniniature earthquake much tothe disconlforture of Zeno and hisguc.sts.

He also imitated thunder and light­ning, the latter by means of an intoler­able light \vhich he flashed into Zenio'seyes by means of a concave mirror.

Not withstanding this disposition toplay practical jokes w'e can but admirethe genius who could conceive and exe­cute such a luajestic structure as St.Sor~ia, and Anthemios chapter shouldbe proud to bear his name.

By J. J. Patterson, G. L.Anthemios, after whlom our chapter at

the University of llinois was nanled, ap­pears to have been quite a wag.

This is probably why he was chose:nas the t'itular diety by the chapter atIllinois. I seem to r'emember somethingfrom the dim and distant past about oneor two practical jokes-but I digress.

Anthenlios was a distinguished Greekarchitect and lllathematician whose mlostnoted vvork vvas the famous church ofSt. Sophia at Constantinople. Thisstructure was begun under the patron­age of Justinian about 552 A. D. Thisalone, would be sufficient to give a manall the fanle necessary, but Anthemiosalso turn'ed his hand to writing and pro­duced several learned treatises on nlath­ematics and physics.

11th AN·NUAL CONVENTIONThe chief duties of the c0111'ing Con­

vention will be action on minor clarify­ing changes in the Constitution, actionon reports of committees, election ofW. G. A. and the probable hearing of apetitilon for a n~w chapter.

'rhis will be the first instance in sev­eral- years when the Convention is notcrowded vvith work and should give thedelegates a fine opportunity to makesuggestions for the good of the Frater­nity and to iron out any difficulties theirchaI>ters Jnay be experiencing in the con­duct of their affairs.

I t is to be hoped that each delega'te'will thoroughly acquaint hin1self \viththe oeprations of the Fraternity and theneeds and experiences of his chapter be­fore attending the sessiions of the Con­vention.

YOUR ARCHIYour editor is recuperating fron1 a

siege w'ith bronchial pneumonia, and ~S

a, cons'equence, vv-ith his fornLer associatein the "vvilds" of Florida the Decemberissue sinlply had to wait. We are sorry.In fact, proof for th:: N oven1ber issue\-vas read in the hospital; why, becaUSe

A fevv days ago we received thru themail a questionnaire \vhich vvas of ri10rethan particular interest to us, especiallyas it dealt with the ITIatter of inforrnal'or "rough house" initiations, concerningwhich your editor recently question2dthe various chapter Worthy Architects.

'The questionnaire was frOITI the Con1­Inittee on Infornlal Ritual of the S A Efraternity. With the questionnaire is astatement of fact. "Some kind of rough­hous'c initiation has been used in almostall College Fraternities. We do not saythat these initiations are vvrong or un­desirable-but a general survey of thesubject will help us what the other fra­tein'ities are doing, and it will help usin n1aking our recon1.mendations."

Six questions are asked: 1. Does yourFrater~ity have any kind of rlough-houseinitiations? 2. Does the national organ­ization limit the inforn1al initiat'ion inany way? 3. Does the national organ­ization prescribe 'iVhere and how infor-

we s'eek to carryon. In return, weonly want your support.

In this issue of four pages we aremaking up for the twelve published inOctober because our income has not yetreached the stage where we can averageover e'ight pages per issue. Keep thefaith, let's clean up on this subscriptionmatter. Several active chapters have anumber of men who are not life sub­scribers and in one chapter the W. A.does not subscribe! Every live wire alife subscriber!

Next rnonth's issue will contain thesecond of Bro. ]. ]. Patterson's interest­ing articles on ancient architects, afterwhom our chapters have been named.Iktinos comes, next tim'e. Also the nextllunl ber will contain a complete reportof the Eleventh Convention, as the TenthOonvention voted that your editor shouldattend again this year. We will striv'~

to keep faith.

FINNANCIAL OBLIG,ATIONSvVhen the report of the W. G. E. is

read at the forthcoming convention wewonder how many of the chapters willcome before the convention with a cleanslate with all obligations to the GrandCouncil satisfied.

A National Problem

Thus, S A]~ is seriously con~idering

the matter of rough-house or infbrmalinitiations. The ,vhole National Frater­nity movement will be concerned andinterested in the r'esults of the question­naire. Not lonly are Fraternit;es con­sidering the 11latterfro111 within but theleading- Deans of Men are also concern~

edt Fraternities are a conlponent partof modern university life, but the oc­casional sporadic outbursts of SOlne ir':'responsible bodies now and then givesall Fraternities a black eve.

.i\nthenlios brothers rec'e"'ntly consulted

The Chapters

with your editor on the attitude of otherchapters on the matter of "rough house."We rather feel that they were in accordviith a letter previously sent out by theIllinois Dean of Men, Dr. Clark, whichis indicative of the m'odern attitude onfornler "divilment."

In part the letter to house presidentsreads, "At a meeting of the council ofadlninistration yesterday, I was instruct­ed to notify all fraternities and soror'i­ties that no requirement may be madeof candidates for initiation \vhich willinterfere \iVith regular study hours orUniversity duties, 'or which will takethem during the per'iod prior to the for­mal initiation outside of the house andgrounds of the chapter. The continua­tion of forl1ler rough practices, especiallythose involving cruelty to students, willbe considered cause for disciplinary ac­tion."

Anthemios Is Conservative

Hell week at Anthenl'ios is mostly con­fined to the house with an occasionaloutside errand, but they have never donea great deal of this, as it interfer'es toomuch with school \vork and leaves apledge "gliOggy" for several days. Someinnocent fun is indulged in at the table,but nothing serious. Bro. H. S. Garns,W. A., feels that som'e rough stuff shouldbe kept, as every pledge expects it, bnthe voices the conservative spirit of hischapter, nloderation and consideration,

I1-=tinos 'el1tphatically urges keepingrough stuff in the house and points outthat while no regular "infonnal" initia­tion is held they extend the usual "test­ing" of a man ·thru hell ·week. Bovv'ever, Bro. H. E. Peterson, W. A., callsour attention to the fact that the phys­ical condition of a candidate is deter­ntined and \vell understood before he issubjected t,o any of the "pleasantries"of hell \veek.

At Ohio, D'emetrios', finds that "roughstuff" interferes with school work, andis therefore limited to two hours housework per week and constructive criti­cism. ])iscipline is administered whennecessary for that purpos'e, but not forthe antUSelnent 'of the actives. All isrestr;ctcd to the house as the Universityprohibits CaITI,pUS hazing. Demetrios hasthe usual "probation week" conducted inthe sanle conservative spirit as Anthe­!Ylios and Iktinos.

No Public Demons<!:ration

Practically the same conditions governat 1.fnes'icles of Minnesota. Humility istauh'ht in the usual way with house du­ties 'and s ho'e shining, but no publicshoyv is ever tilade of a candidate. Hellnight ending the probation week is inthe house and the stunts are proportion­ate to a nlan's physical condition. Tameas the informal init'iation is, it is becom­ing less popular with less and less in­terest shown by actives as a \vh1ole. Itseems indicative of a new day.

vVord from Kallikrates is n1issing, butout in California Andronicus chapterconfined their "hot stuff" strictly to thehouse, although Bro. Noble 1,fcIlva'in,

W. A., does not feel that all "roughstuff" should be done away with. Hisexpression is nearly typical. He favorsthe spirit of hell week as a testing timefor candidates, their good will, spirit andself-control, but like other Worthy Arch­itects advocates consideration for theprosp2ctive brother. Vic'iousness prac­ticed by Siome fraternities seems to beovercome in the general spirit of con­servatisn1 anlong A P X chapters whichputs them in accord with the spirit ofDean of 11en Clark of Illinois and otherfacul ty leaders.

Paeonios is perhaps the only chapterthat does not r'estrict ,their informal P110­

ceedings to the house. Kansas State hasno restrictions as long as class work isnot interfered with. Paeonios, however,places a lilllit on their "rough house."Perhaps our Kansas brtothers will changetheir plans next time?

Texa1s Plan Is Good

J. C. Buchanan, Jr., Dinocrates W. A.,perhaps strikes the key note of thewhole matter. Do you favor keeping"rough stuff" in the house? His answer:We do not favor anything being done inthe bouse that would not be done out­side, They do nothing outside the housebut the wearing of smocks and tams forone day, sketching or painting on thecanlpus during that day, and a gen'eralcleanup around the house. Such is thespirit of the 1"'exas brothers, and thereis no school restriction either.

And, as nothing \vas heard from Poly­klitos, thus ends the excn1plification ofthe spirit of the various chapters on theJll.atter of informal initiation or "roughstuff." In general the tendency seelllSto be to 0111 it such rough house, as isnow practiced by S01l1'e on the final n'ightof hell week, partly because it actuallyinterferes vvith school \vork and partly

They departed' in a shovver of rice,'etc., for Canada, but will be at hOlne inS1. l.oui slater.

IKTINOS-MICHIGANBro. TOIll B. J\lIurphey, of the S. S.

IZresge Co. architectural staff, has left

because it is distasteful to those whohave to conduct the proceedings.

Thus as the chapters begin to feel thisway we feel the standards of a frater­nity begins to climb and becomes lessof a "hazing club. ',' This we feel will bethe consensus of opinion that S A E willfind thru their questionnair'e. Eliminatethe old-time hazing, keep the fun whichcauses nlental embarrassment only andgenuine amusement for the spectatorsand restrict the paddle to discipline,eliminating it as an attempt at amuse­ment and you have the feelings express­ed by the leaders in A P X today.

Wanted a Conference

At the same time your editor wrotethe several chapter Worthy Architectsrelative to "hell week" he also askedquestions, about rushing, scholarship re­quirements, length of pledgeship, formalinitiation, etc. Some of the matters ofcourse cannot be discuss'ed in The Archi,for obvi1ous reasons, but your editor feelsthat conditions at the various institu­tions are varied enough to lend em­phasis to the suggestion of some of thedelegates at the Michigan conventionlast year that this coming conventionhave a ,]\,fethods Conference on suchn1atters apart from the formal businessof the convention.

Little did the Anthemios brothers, whofirst talked about "rough house" vvithyour editor, realize that others werethinking about the sanle matter. Whenwe asked the W. A's about this problelTI\iVe asked about kindred matters vvith theresult that \ve find there are great dif­ferences an110ng the chapters. There­fore, if delegates to the coming conven­t'ion take time to discuss some of thesematters to their Inl1tual advantage. thenthese Illinois brothers vvill have done as'ervice to the fraternity.
