SUPREME ARCHON WAGENER

Speaks of

Thrills

Anticipation

Opportunities

I F WE are at al l sens itive to impre!i­sions, the open ing days of college cannot fail to fill us with a thrill of

anticipation and with the in spiration which comes from the possibilities for worth-while achievement which lie before us. open to our g rasp. Already the sound of the pigskin as it strikes shoe or jersey is heard on the football f1elds of many a campus. Soon the tang of autumn will be in the air,

bringing an anticipatory whiff of the bonfires which, we hope, will celebrate many a ;victory won by our team. There is even the thrill of: sampling new courses and of determining that this year will find 11s roundiri g out into rea l scholars. as we store up in our minds the equipment of knowledge which will assure business or professional success. How fine it is to he back once more on the old campus !

The fraternity is but one of the multitudinous int·erests in coll ege life. Equally with stud ies and athletics, however , it offers to the co ll ege man unlimited possi­bilities for personal develpoment. At the same time. it demands of: him that he g ive his very best efforts to the realization of these possibilities, if they are to contribute to his mental training and to the building of his character.

Pi Kappa P hi wants her athletes who wear the star and lamp to keep their bodies clean and their minds alert, to fight fairly and fearlessly. to uphold be fore the world the honorable traditions of their A lma Mater. establi shed by generati ons of her sons. She wants her stud ents to cultivate learning with equal zealousness and to maintain a respected position in the classronm. If. in short, a Pi Kapp performs hi s task. in whichever of the man ifold activities of coll ege hi s interest li es, to the best of hi s abi lity and without shirking, he is thereby showing that he has assimilated the precepts and ideals of his fraternity. It is the influence of such a man which insensibly enriches the life of hi s chapter . lf e1·ery Pi Kapp. alumnus and active, will now, when the year is before him. d etermine to be an asset, not a handicap, to hi s community, hi s college. hi s fraternity, and will carry out hi s determination, Pi Kappa Phi wi ll come to Detroit next summer with a record of which we can be justly proud. Let us each do our part.

COMING

• The December issue wi ll find the f ootba 11 season of 1930 in a state of stati stics and resume. It will be an oppor­tune time to review the rep­resentation of Pi Kappa Phi on the gridiron. There is no reason why an a ll-Pi Kappa Phi team cannot be ascer­tained.

e The value of a college edu­cation in terms of dollars and cents wi ll be of interest.

e Contact has been made with Pi Kapps in foreign lands in the hope that we may enjoy in the future the breath of the exotic. The results mav indicate that the romanti"c glitter of strange strands is not all golden, that cosmos and chaos are st ill at logger­heads, but it is bound to be interesting.

e Then, there are the items of four new chapter houses­the introduction of the Pi Kappa scholars-the chapter letters - additional informa­tion concerning convention plans-and many other mat­ters of in formation.

Omega Wins Efficiency Contest

$$$ $$$

$$$

THE award of one hundred dollars for being d ~he most efficient chapter of the Fraternity Curmg the year of 1929-30 will go to Omega b hapter, located at Purdue University. It has een asked time and again which of the chapters ~0ttld be given first place in a comparative rat­Ing, and now, by means of the first annual con­~est conducted by the Central Office, this has een ascertained. With an excellent personnel,

~0 y1e number of forty-odd men, and a splendid Ptnt of co-operation among them, Omega was a~le to accumulate a total of 2,075 points to Wtn.

" 'I'he winning chapter cannot be said to have

0wa!ked away" with the contest, however. Alpha ~·Heron (Iowa State) with a total number of

POtnts of 1,915 ran a very close second and be­comes the recipient of the addressing equipment ~":'arded to the runner-up. It is quite fitting that . ts chapter should get this particular award, for ~t c.ertainly takes first place among the chapters ~n ~ts contact with the alumni of the chapter, . aVtng distributed during the year five issues of tts Publication, The Almicron. During the past summer the Central Office received the summer anct sixth issue. b I~ might be said that Omega won the award r Its excellent scholastic showing, by its COm­~ ete co-operation with Central Office, and by the t romptness with which each member of the chap­t Paid his obligations. Alpha Omicron is also t? be congratulated on the last fact. In addi­/011· this chapter won many points by its activity

011 co~municating with the alumni , by its co­oPeratton with Central Office, and by becoming s·e of two chapters to subscribe 100% to the n 1.story and Directory. Upsilon Chapter ( Illi-Ots) was the other.

a 'I'o Professor G. W. Munro, Chapter Adviser, C~d Dr. Will E. Edington, in the case of Omega Acta~ter, and to Registrar J. R. Sage, Chapter

0 ~I ser , and I. J. Scott, in the case of Alpha f mtcron, must be ascribed much of the credit c~r the excellent showing of their respective in:Pters.. They were unfailing in their active Po erest 111 the chapter affairs, doing all in their

RELATIONS WITI-I CENTRAL OFFICE EMPHASIZED

The schedu le of points to be gained or lost places the major emphasis on the relation of the chapter with the Central Office and under that general classification places much weight on the promptness of receipt and condition of the chap­ter treasurer's monthly report. Therefore, the majority of the chapters in the minus list can be said to have failed to send in the required reports to the Office, failed to get them in promptly, fai led to make the required payment of fees, or sent in reports

Because of the delinquencies in send ing in the fina l report requested by the Central Office, it might be said that the above is not an accurate rating of the chapters. It did place a great deal of weight on the final report, but there was no other way of obtaining the information in a com­plete way. The Office did what it could to gar­ner the desired information by searching the chapter publications and chapter letters in the Star and La1np.

RESUME 'oF ACTIVITIES AND HONORS

For that reason, too, the foll owing resume of the activities of the chapters is not complete. T t is rather interesting as it is, however, and makes an excellent showing despite its incompleteness.

T here were 204 Pi Kapps engaged in intercol­legiate sports of various kinds and in different capacities. Of the chapters, Xi (Roanoke) is to be credited with the greatest number of repre­sentations in athletics, having twenty-three in all. Of this number, twelve were football letter men, five were basketball letter men, two were mem­bers of the tennis squad, one was assistant man­ager of football , and one was P resident of the General Athletic .Association. Alpha Delta was runner-up with nineteen representations.

A total of twenty-three captaincies or captain­cies-elect were held by the chapters. The distri­bution is as follows:

Beta- captain of the riAe team.

[ 4]

The following chW ters had managers of sports :

A lpha-manager of boxing team. I Delta-manager of football, manager of base·

ball. Eta-manager of track. Pi- manager of football , manager of baseball. Alpha Theta-manager elect of track. There were ninety-six representations in ~he

stance with a total of twelve positions to Jts credit. Among these were the positions of edito~­in-chief of the weekly newspaper and the busi· ness managers of both the weekly and the col· lege annual. Concerning the last two positions, Beta boasts of having a member who held doWI1 both managerships.

Others that possessed major editorial positions were:

Alpha Rho Installed at West Virginia BY JoHN R. GAss

District Archon, Eighth District

ON MAY 16, 1930, Pi Kappi Phi entered the "Panhandle" state and selected for its

thirty-ninth undergraduate chapter the local fr~ternity Delta Epsilon, located at the West VIrginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia. l3 1'he installation ceremonies were in charge of

rather John R. Gass, Eighth Di strict Archon; assisted by Dr. A. Pelzer Wagener, Supreme irchon; Brother J ohn C. Johnston, Supreme

reasurer; Brother Edwin C. Jones, Upsilon; anct a member of the Faculty at the University, and an initiation team of six from Alpha Nu iha1~ter, consisting of Brothers Freel Rector, R. chvm Stickel, Walter Insley, Marcy Powell,

Obert Crossley and A lvin Frye. It was a glorious event for the men of Delta

~.Psilon, and Pi Kappa Phi has acquired a splen­Jd group of young men and a well-organized

~nd progressive chapter. E laborate preparations or the social part of the in stallation had been ~~?e by the local fraternity, the high lights of

11Ch were a formal banquet, formal dance and reception . The installation consumed three days ~d there was something do ing every minute. · Wonderful spirit of { ri endliness and loyalty Prevailed among the thirty odd visiting Pi Kapps ~Presenting the following chapters: A lpha, Psi, ·/o, Kappa, Omega, Upsil on, X i, Theta, Alpha

heta, Alpha Mu, and Alpha Nu.

Promptly at the appointed hour on Friday morning, all candidates, the members of the in­stalling group, and many visiting brothers assem­bled in the ballroom of the Hotel Morgan and the ceremonies started. After an hour's recess for lunch, the installation proceeded, and when the smoke had cleared, twenty-seven men had been initiated into the mysteries and fellowship of Pi Kappa Phi. A splendid feature of the installation was the initiation of Dr. John E. Winter, head of the department of Psychology at the University, and his son, James E. Winter, a Senior. Dr. Winter is an alumnus of Delta Epsilon. The charter was very ably and im­pressively presented by Dr. Wagener, a former member of the Faculty at the University.

FoRMAL BANQUET HELD

Capping the events of the day, a formal ban­quet was held in the main dining room of the hotel, with places marked for fifty. The big table was arranged in the form of a letter "U" and was decorated in the colors of the Fraternity. Huge vases of reel roses also adorned the table and everyone present was given a rose as a token of friendship. Brother Edwin C. Jones presided as toastmaster.

Toastmaster Jones introduced Brother Charles Leet who welcomed all present. Dr. Wagener

Recently Brother Gass was appointed by Supreme Archon Wagener to th e position of District Archon of the Eighth District, and shortly thereaf ter the duties of hi s position called on him in a major way; the sup er vis ion of th e installation of a chapter. He writes of th e installa­tion in this a rti cle in a very a ttractive way. \Nith r egard to his part in the ceremony, which he doesn't m ention, it ca n be said that the duti es fo r which he was responsible were never more capably fulfilled.

·~JOHN R. GA SS

Born, French Lick, India na, October 3, 1896. Gr~duated from Purdue U nivers ity with a Bachelor of Sciet)ce

degree in Mechanical Engineeri ng, where he was a charter member of the local that became Omega of Pi Kappa P hi and where he a ttained th e fo llowing und ergrad uate honors: Captain of two class baseball teams; baseball in in ter mural competition; Senior Class Purchasing Agent; Fraternity Steward; ac tive in Y. M. C. A. and church, becoming a member of "The Twelve," a n honorary religious organization.

As a preliminary to his present position as Mechanical Engineer with Mills, Rhines, Bellman & Nordhoff, Architects and E ngineers, of Toledo, Ohio, he spent some years as Instructor of Physics at Iowa State and Instructor of Practical Mechanics at Purdue. Present duti es: supervising the installat ion of mechanical equipment in the new build­ings of the University of Toledo, a $2,000,000 total outlay.

then addressed the gathering in behalf of the Fraternity. His remarks were an inspiration and were enjoyed keenly by all present. In a manner that was most interesting, he outlined the history and progress of the Fraternity, spoke of its ideals and purposes, and explained just what will be expected of the new chapter. Having been a charter member of Alpha Chapter and the incumbent of many offices in the Fraternity, in­cluding the highest, which he holds at present, Dr. Wagener is well acquainted with his frater­nity, and his talk was intensely interesting and instructive.

Dean Harry E. Stone, Dean of Men of the University, followed Dr. Wagener with a splen­did address, giving the University's attitude to­ward fraternities in general and Pi Kappa Phi in particular, and welcoming Pi Kappa Phi to West Virginia. He made some fine predictions for the future of Alpha Rho Chapter, based on his intimate knowledge of the past performance and standing of Delta Epsilon and of the char­acter and type of men composing the new chap­ter. Dean Stone mentioned that it has been his experience that within five years after a local fraternity has gone "National," in practically every case, the new chapters have gone into a "nose dive" scholastically. He stated, however, that he expected Alpha Rho would prove an exception to this established custom and would not follow the example set by its predecessors on the campus.

Following Dean Stone, Brother James C. Wilson spoke for Alpha Rho and pledged the co-operation of the chapter to Pi Kappa Phi and to the University.

[ 6]

Many telegrams and messages of greetings from alumni, friends, and other chapters of fi Kappa Phi, that had arrived during the day and evening, were read at intervals by the Toast· master, adding to the enthusiasm that alread) prevailed.

Brief remarks were made by Brothers Job~ R. Gass, John C. Johnston, Gene Dunaway, fre Rector and others. Brother Dunaway is Arch0° of the Second District and hails from Roanoke, Virginia. A:fter telling of the narrow escape be and Brothers Ed Bell, Neil Gilbert and R. ~· Rush had on their journey to Morgantown, 1~ which the four brothers "stood on their heads literally and actually for Pi Kappa Phi, Gene cut loose with a facetious tale that contributed much mirth in contrast to many of the more serious talks that preceded his remarks. 13°1

telling stories is not Gene's failing; it is "wi~· min." Attest the young lady that caused bl~ party to be half a clay late in getting started bacJi to Roanoke.

A fitting climax to the banquet was the an; nouncement by Dr. Wagener of the appointrne11

of Brother Jones as Chapter Adviser to Alplll Rho Chapter.

W ITH an atmosphere of the undergraduate

still about him and accom­panied by an aura of effi ­ciency gained in his father's bank in Cordele, Georgia, the newly chosen Assistant Secretary, Joseph W. Can­non, Jr., recently stepped over the lintel of the door­way leading to the central offices and promptly asked what there was that he could do. Since there was no dearth of matters crying to be accomplished, he was just as promptly intro­duced to work in line with hi s new duties.

For all this, he is unas· suming. His attractive per· sonality is evident from an enumeration of the ab01'e and demands no other eulogies.

In the short time that he has been in the office he has proven conclusively that the endorsements were well founded and that he knew how to use that experience that serves as a background of his new work. In the chapter at E mory U niversity he served as secretary, treasurer, and for three terms as archon. Other fraternal affi liations that he enj oyed as an undergraduate, add ing to hi s store of knowledge and at the same time indicat­ing his popularity and prominence on the cam · pus, were Omicron Delta Kappa (honorary lead­ership), Pi Delta Epsil on (honorary journalistic ), and Alpha Kappa Psi (professional commerce).

Other honors accruing to Assistant Secretary Cannon included: President of the School of Busines~ Administration Student Body, Manager of Varsity Track, member of the Honor Council Stu~ent's Activiti es _Council, Senior Honorar; Society, Owls (J umor Honorary), Toreadors (Sophomore Honorary), President of a literarv society, member of the "E" Club.

PI KAPPA PHI SCHOLARS FOR 1930 and answers

.. WHY WORRY ABOUT SCHOLARSHIP?''

THE Pi Kappa Phi Scholars for 1930 are a group of men who represent the very

. best scholarship among our active member­ship. The group for this year is unusually in­~erest_ing for four reasons, none of which has to d? _With any of the members of the group as in­\:v~cJuals. First, the number in the group is eight,

hich is the largest number to be so designated anc] honored in any one year in the history of ~ur scholarship awards. Second, these eight brothers represent memberships in and bring ~nor to nine distinct chapters. Three members

~ the group each have membership in one chap­t by initiation and in a second chapter by affi lia­Ion, and their scholarship records were in each

case fi led by the chapters with which they afiili­~ed. T hird , two of our chapters, Omega and

group are more representative of the national aspect of the Fraternity.

th ~hese brothers are to be congratulated upon ~I eir excellent scholarship and their respective '-1apt ' Pr ers and our whole fraternity may well be ~cl of their splendid scholastic rating.

1' he award of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship rophy will be made to each of these brothers

on Founders' Day, December 10. The December number of the Star and Lamp will contain a detailed story of their achievements. In the past the Pi Kappa Phi Scholars have been men of outstanding abili ty both in scholarship and extra­curricular activities, in their respective colleges or universities.

WHY WORRY ABOUT SCHOLARSHIP?

In this day of rapidly moving automobiles and high speed airplanes and the equally rapid changes in the flow of li fe all around us, the mat­ter of scholarship has come to be looked upon by many, both inside and outside our colleges. as of secondary importance and as by no means necessary to future success. Cases are cited of individuals who apparently are highly successful and yet had no college training or were very mediocre in scholarship while in college. Illustra­tions are given of individuals who rode the social or athletic ponies through college without giving much thought to scholastic achievement and who have reached heights of success fn the estimate of the man of the street. However, in spite of these apparent exceptions, and when they are in­vestigated they are the exceptions, the business and scientific worlds have found that scholarship does pay, and modern business and industry is insisting more and more on the thoroughly trained man, the man who knows.

Real scholarship is characterized by the fact it requires time and persistence for its attain­ment and that it cannot be acquired except by hard work and conscientious effort. Everyone is agreed that th is is a scientific age, and the wonderful scientific developments of the present century are clue to the scholarship of the past as well as the present. The great scientific labora­tories to be found as adjuncts to all our great industries are manned by scholars, derived for the most part from our colleges and universities.

FRATERNITY ENDOWMENT FUNDS

a p tl \li

Albert W. Meisel, Alpha Xi, besides being the District Archon of the First District, is also Secretary of the Com­mittee on Endowment Fund. This article is indicative of the constructive thought the committee is applying to the pro­posed endowment campaign.

bi gJ tl· a!

WHEN the Charleston Convention of Pi Kappa Phi approved the proposal of an

Endowment Fund, the delegates were merely keeping step with a movement already prevalent in the Greek-letter world. The general spread of the endowment idea is due to the fact that it affords a method by which the individual may do something to perpetuate his idealism in the future organization, long after he has joined the Chapter Eternal.

It was natural enough that the early efforts for endowment first appeared among the older fraternities, whose alumni were more mature and who were financially able to carry on such an undertaking, but it is equally true that the younger organizations soon followed suit and initiated endowment plans with great zeal, though often on a small er fi nancial scale.

Upon request , the Research Bureau of the In­terfraternity Conference gathered some inform­ative data on the extent and manner of raising fraternity endowment funds, which is undoubted­ly of such general interest that much of it may be repeated here.

The largest endowment thus reported by the Bureau was $394,443.69, raised by an organiza­tion of 34,103 members; the smallest reported was $5.000, obtained by a frate·nity of 600 mem­bers. In the groups numbering approximately our membership are found the following: one of 4,190 members with $8,00~; one of 4,836 mem­bers with $10,000; one of 5,197 members with $25,000; and finally, one of 4,061 members with $12,000. Readers in considering these figures must, of course, remember that, in the absence of definite information as to the age of these

organizations, accurate comparisons may not be l iz made. The confidential nature of the Bureau's at report prevented the names of the reporting or· P< ganizations from being published, and they are 01 therefore not available. th

id The purposes for which the funds are being

raised vary with the ideals of the various organ· izations and the present status of their develop· ment. What is a necessity for one fraternity 111a! already be possessed by a more mature groUP· What may be desired by another may play no part in the program of its rival.

One aim, which seems fair ly general, is to pro· vide endowment for the fraternity magazine· Practicaly all of the reporting organizations have special or general funds to insure the success 0 ~ their publications. It is pleasing to note that :fli Kappa Phi, through the wisdom of its earlier conventions, now has a magazine fund of splen· did proportions.

Other declared objects include the establi sh· ment of a national headquarters building, extend~ ing assistance in chapter building programs, an meeting the general expenses of the national or· ganization. Fostering scholarship has also recent· ly taken an important part in some endowme111

programs. Hence there is found provision fo; financing worthy scholars, the establishment 0 ts tutors in chapter houses, and, in some instanceS· trt graduate scholarships.

The methods for raising the endowment funds reported have been various. They naturally ha"

standing examples are a fraternity of 3,003 mem-· hers thus raising $72,500, another of 3,299 col­lecting $20,890 and pledges of $88,750, and still another of 6,831 securing $50,000. It would ap­pea~ that these organizations relied entirely on the Idealism of their members and that their faith Was justified . . In the middleground, there are the organiza­

tions which set aside a proportion of initiation fees, require a definite pledge from each initiate, or sell so-called life memberships. The endow­tnent funds of such fraternities grow slowly but ~Ure!y and result in every brother participating 111 the movement. b' 1'here are a few fraternities which have com-

111ed all of these methods. Not satisfied with the gradual growth from the undergraduate fees, they have also solicited subscriptions from their alurnni, . Finally, there is still another group of organ­IZations, much smaller than the others, that build an endowment by setting aside each year a pro~ Portion of any surplus realized from general operations. Such fraternities appear to lose all ~~e benefit of the individual's participation in their 1 ea!istic effort.

Another track star that was introduced to these columns last issue, as holder of the uni· versity indoor record for the 220, and who again merits recognition, is Talbot Hartley, Alpha Delta.

on real estate. The individual member must de­liver a promissory note endorsed by parent or guardian or other satisfactory endorsers. It goes without saying that there are only a few national fraternities whose funds are large enough to per­mit the loaning of money, and practically all of them, in any event, lend but a portion of their resources.

The limitations of space have necessarily pre­vented a detailed examination of all the various endowment plans in operation. The study of the data, however, clearly demonstrates that a fra­ternity endowment fund is a good thing. There is no Pi Kapp who does not realize that much could be accomplished with such additional re­sources.

With the experience of others available, Pi Kappa Phi could examine itself and see how the desired result may be best accomplished.

Beta Alpha Lambda Delta, a fraternity of Northwestern University, whose requirements demanded of the member that he be baldheaded is no more. It expired from lack of members: Possibly "herpicide did it."

Poughkeepsie Regatta U THE NATIONAL ASPECT OF THE ORGAN­

IZATION IS BROUGHT OUT IN THE CREW REPRESENTATION

By E. H. OLSEN aud R. M. SNIDER

WHEN Cornell won the annual Pough­keepsie Regatta, it tossed a bursting bomb­

shell of surpri se among the gathered spectators and upset a ll tbe dope buckets that had been filled beforehand by all sportdom. In the buckets it was predicted that Cornell would be an "also ran -or rowed," and they were considered only as a part of the background, a littl e add itional color to a kaleidoscopic occasion, until the closing sec­onds of the thrilling event. The margin of victory of three lengths was another source of astonishment.

In its characteristic fashion, Tim e discussed the event in this way:

"Because intercollegiate championship races have been bungled at Poughkeepsie in the past, a new rule was mad e this year that any crew late at the starting line would be disquali ti ed. A ll nine shells were on time; there were no false starts ; in sweltering heat they moved away together clown the choppy river, with the nm e coxswains yelping in different keys. They had gone almost a mile when the people mopping their faces on the observation trains began to yell. Massachusetts Tech had pulled out in front, nervy enough to be pacemakers for the big Wash­ington crew that was the fa­vorite, the picture-book Navy crew that was the main hope of the East, _the formidable clark horse, California. At a mile and a half Cornell came out of the pack and at the end of the second mile ~aught Tech. No­body took this move seriously because up to that time nobody had considered Cornell seriously.

Of the chapters, Alpha Delta has the WILLIAM WooowARD

Don Morris rowed in the annual regatta the Previous ,year as acting captain. The race was \Von by Washington that year. His contribution ~0 the showing of the crew in t he recent years las resulted in his being elected as captain of the ~rew during the season of 1931. More will be leard of this commodore.

Gamma had two men in this sport. In addition to Brother Woodward, Bernard Cahill held clown ~he berth of assistant crew manager. \i\/oodward Is a senior this coming year and will be expected to retain his place in the crew next season. He

will also be the head of Gamma Chapter, having been elected Archon in the spring elections.

Scott received his degree in the spring com­mencement of Cornell, and the Universitv thus loses an important cog in its crew and it f~otball team. He won his freshman numerals in the latter sport, his varsity letter in his sophomore year. For three years he was one of the most consistent ground-gainers in the backfield. In 1929 he served as alter­nate captain. The year 1928 saw him in the junior varsity shell , 1929-1930 in the varsity crew.

The extensive repre­sentation of the fratern ity in this colorful college event and the possibilities of future representation will arouse in the organi­zation a keen interest in the competition in the coming years. The West will have an opportunity to avenge a decisive de­feat, with Washington or California in the fore­front. Then, again, it may be that Cornell has found her old stride and will continue her victories.

southward and placed behind us the attractions of ~anada. With a sense of great virtue and rec­titude we pulled up for inspection at the cus­~0111s. Apparently our physiognomy was a sign­)Oa~·d, for deigning but a cursory glance at our equipment, which we had taken such pains to arrange handily, the officer grunted a permission to P:oceecl.

one of the well-known Grafton boys of Beta Chapter.

Brother Snider needs no introduction to many of the members of the organization. He was at the last Convention as Alpha Delta's representa­tive, and his name has appeared often in this publication as the author of interesting articles. His heart is commensurate in size with his body -he is a big chap- and it is all for the Frater­nity. On second thought, I beg pardon for that all encompassing statement. I had forgotten, momentarily, the young lady to whom he is en­gaged. There is no doubt that she is part pos­sessor of that organ.

Ralph was kind enough to take me to his home in Puyallup for an overnight visit, where I had the privilege of becoming acquainted with his very attractive mother, father and brother, and, incidentally, had the opportunity of seeing a bit of the city of Tacoma. His brother had planned a fishing trip the following morning- trolling in Puget Sound-and, being enthusiastic Waltons, Ralph and I decided to go. Cold , damp, and 1 :00 a. m.! It took considerable enthusiasm to overcome those drawbacks, but the fishing bug has made fools of better men than we. Ralph and I had a boat between us, and we each took turns rowing and warming up while the other held the line. No luck-maybe it was the rain or the cold (there is always a reason). We got the greatest enjoyment from the trip by sitting in a warm restaurant swilling coffee. Possibly you will say that that is a better reason why there was no depletion of the ranks of the finny tribe.

Since three can compose a mob under certain circumstances-Ralph was driving the aforesaid young lady back to Seattle for the dance-! re­turned to Seattle by bus. Yes, I slept most of the way.

A brief resume of inspection facts would be as follows:

Personnel-Excellent. Finances-Poor. Although in the main with­

out outstanding indebtedness, they were operat­ing one month behind. This was due to delay in obtaining a sufficient number of men at the beginning of the year and to permitting several

Just north of the Cali fornia State Line, a uni­formed man apeared in the coach and called for fruit inspection. Thinking I would be sent up for bootlegging, I surreptitiously tossed my two dozen luscious bananas out of the window. Woe is me. They were only being particular about the kind of bugs that enj oyed the Cali fornia sun­shine.

Seriously, the scenery in northern Californ ia surpassed any that I had seen previously, and I am of the decisive opinion that few sights could surpass that of Mt. Shasta in the moonlight. As I continued south the land became more rolling. Hi ll s that down South in Dixie would be good for nothing except scraggly trees, in California were covered with a luxuriant covering of grass. I think they were laid out by the gods as a pri­vate golf course. However, I understand that I was in the state at an excellent time of the year; that during the summer these green, green fair­ways become a dull brown. I was not enlight­ened by a Californian, of course.

Bill Grimes and Bob Krost met me at the Berkley station and drove me to the house. It is an attractive house and really shows the money invested in it more than the average run of houses.

It was the fear of losing the house that caused the men to hurry my coming. Fortunately, the alumni have filled in the breach sati sfactorily for the time being, and the undergraduates have the opportunity of showing their ab ility to surmount obstacles, which is undoubted in my mind . Since I spoke of these men in the article, "Gamma and Golden West,'' in the last issue, I will go into no further eulogies. It is one of the few chapters that have no deadheads on the roll.

I enj oyed my stay exceed ingly and am indebted to the men for their exceptionally warm hospital­ity, and this includes the alumni of San Francisco and Berkeley.

'rhe combination of House Mother Walker, Ed Wood, and a likable group of undergraduates tnakes a visit at Oklahoma very pleasant indeed. 1'he three days in Norman were quiet and un­eventful, unless an exciting game of playground bali be mentioned, wherein the Pi Kapps were defeated by the Kappa Sigs, by the score of 27 to 24. Both teams were overcome by exhaustion and had to be carried from the field on stretchers. If that were the usual exhibition of ball, I ven­ture the opinion that each team should be given a Period of training similar to that undergone by the track teams. .

Earl Carroll Accepts Position in Philippines

EARL CARROLL, A 1 p h a Eta, re­

cently resigned hi s position as Secretary of the State Young Men's Christian As­sociation of Tennessee to accept a position with the National Y. M. C. A. of the United States as Gen­eral Secretary of the National Y. M. C. A. of t h e Philippine Islands.

His work will con­cern primarily the ex­pansion program of the organization in the Islands, particularly the Isla~d of. ~uzon, wh:re there are many cities and umversttles requestmg that a local branch be established. Since this is practically a virgin field, it will be a su~reme test of Carroll's ability to educate, to orgamze and to lead. His specific duties in the development with­in the I slands will be: (a) To organize new Y. M. C. A.'s; (b) to supervise and place these a~cl those already organized on a sound financtal basis; (c) to discover and train native secre­taries; ( cl) to develop a program of ~ork that will be adequate for the needs of the native young men and boys.

Earl L. and Mrs. Carroll left in July for Manila, the seat of his headquarters. They jo~tr­neyed to the West Coast by automobile, stoppt?g over in Mobile, Alabama, for a · final chat wtth Supreme Historian Pou. Taking their car with the;n they boarded ship at San Francisco on Augt;st 29 for the Philippines: via Hono­lulu Kobe Yokohama, Shanghai and Hong- · kon~. A 'brief period of s~~htseeing _ w~s permitted at each stop on the rtmerary. Thetr period of stay in the Islands will be not less than three years and not more than four and one-half years, after which they may return for another period.

Brother Carroll will be remembered well as the very efficient Chairman of the Publicity Com­mittee of the Birmingham Convention and donor of the Carroll Key to his undergraduate chapter, Alpha Eta, to be presented each year to that man who has done the most for the chapter.

The Cleveland Alumni Organize By R. E. WoRSTELL, Omega

T HE twelfth edition of Baird's Manual states that Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity has a total of twenty-one alumni chapters. The

prevailing impression resulting therefrom is to be corrected by the following announcement that one more has been added to the ever-growing list, making a grand total of twenty-two.

Last winter a number of Pi Kapps living in or near Cleveland, Ohio, decided that birds of a feather should flock together, and accordingly, the fraternity directory was consulted, a very substantial list of names obtained and an invita­tion extended to each. A few well-attended meet­ings were held, and within a remarkably short time an organization was perfected and a charter granted by the Supreme Council. Brother John R. Gass, Archon of the Eighth District, presented the charter to the new alumni chapter in a very pleasing and impressive way.

tW charter the chapter went into session for the Pthe l)ose of electing officers. Those chosen for t.

·c1en' honors were: R. E. Worstell, Omega, Prest c. E. D. Kiinzler, Alpha Nu, Secretary; and ~· S· Woodhouse, Alpha Nu, Treasurer. Brother · e· Myers, Chi, was recently elected Archon to ~lY place Brother Worstell who has tempora.rt moved his residen~e to .Los An~ele~, Cal. ideil

Charles A. Graeser

Those who attended the Charleston Conven­tion of 1929 and the dedication and gift of the Memorial Gateway to the College of Charleston need little introduction to this attractive gentle­man. It was he who was chosen by the College of Charleston to make the acceptance speech in c'onnection with that ceremony, because he was so closely identified with and representative of the institution- A First Honor graduate and a highly respected and beloved member of. its teachino· staff- and because he was a close fnend of the ~1en who founded Pi Kappa Phi, having taught them in high school. Thus, he has been associated with the organization very closely in many ways, and his initiation into Alpha Chapter met with approbation in all quarters.

Since 1923·, Professor Graeser has been Pro­fessor of Modern Languages at the College of Charleston. This is the more recent phase of a li fetime devoted to study and teaching. Briefly, his career from 1888 to 1930 is as follows:

A. B., College of Charleston, 1888, and M. A., 1896. Graduate student, University of Gottingen, summer session, 1895; U niversity of Chicago, summer session, 1900; University of Berlin, sum­mer session, 1907; and University of Heidel­berg, summer session, 1912. Instructor in French

Washington Pi Kapp Gobs Visit Hawaii

Bv RALPH M. SNIDER

S EEING Hawaii through a porthole- Hawaii, I the theme of many dreamy songs, the ultra­Vacation land ; moonlight nights, throbbing U~uleles, softly caressing breezes, dancing Hula ~lrls, swimming, sightseeing, hiking and play­Ing, all mixed into maddening whirl ,of thrills­~as the experience of three brothers from Alpha elta. These experiences were the realization of

illany a day and pipe dream. Often during the !ong drill periods of naval R. 0. T. C. the only Incentive to carry on was the thought that on June 18th about 100 naval cadets from the Uni­Versity of Washington would go aboard and illeet a like number of cadets from the Univer­sity of California and together they would visit the magic land of the Pacific.

It is a wonderful feeling to cruise the Pacific ~n a battleship. The feeling of untouched power In the monster engines below, the massive strength of the decks and sides coupled with the seeming limitless energy of the big guns

l ~akes one feel as though · nothing could wipe / em from the high seas. Among this group ~f ~oung Naval Reserve Officers enjoying the thehng of security and a novel experience were

) ree Pi Kapps: Talbot Hartley, Don Gi ll , and

0hn Odegard. As Don and John are three­Y~r crew men it is easy to understand that they ~1ght take to the sea, but for Talbot, who is aptain of Washington's track

team and the outstanding 440-Yarct man on the coast, to go to sea when he would make Sl!ch a good infantry man IS

~rd to understand. After ten clays of cruising

the Islands were sighted, and 011 Saturday morning, the 28th Of J h une, the Idaho entered the ay and dropped anchor. What a . ~ S1g~t to beh~ld ! Honolulu, a th autlful tropical city where t e principal steamship lines thnverge at the "Crossroads of ti e Pacific." It is the largest 'l!~y in the Hawaiian group tilth a population of 90,000; a 'l!ty of cosmopolitan air and ~estern aspect, with every

appealing of all , with a climate that varies but a few degrees the year around- a veritable ever­lasting spring, with an abundance of native. fruits, flowering trees, and blossoming bushes and plants.

After leaving Honolulu, they proceeded with naval drill, such as target practice, formations, plotting, etc. Here is a little bit of advice from one of the men, "Praters who know not when bedtime comes or the hour when students should arise, NEVER FOLLOW THE SEA, for it is to bed at nine-thirty and up again at six."

Certain conditions aboard a battleship have been written about to a considerable extent, but it is always enjoyable to get the facts first hand, as in the following:

"We embarked on board ship in time to stow away and get ready for lunch. Lunch no more· mess is the word from now on, and wi1at ames~

when everyone has finished ! You have gone to formals where you could not decide which of the array of hard­ware should be picked up next and you were afraid to touch the china for fear of breaking it; but this is not so at the mess table. One plate, one cup, one mush­bowl, none of which could be broken with a steel bar, were issued each man together with a knife, fork and spoon, and that s p o o n a tablespoon. Imagine stirring your coffee with that or getting a spoon­ful of prunes into your mouth."

0dern improvement, and most TAI.DOT & JoHNNY

Cruises such as this one are annual summer experiences of

[ 271

the men in the naval R. 0. T. C. Last year they went to Alaska, this vear to Hawaii. Next year will bring something ~ew, possibly a trip through the Panama Canal and back. This branch of military training is gaining rapid favor on the campus and the reason is self-explanatory. If you would like a cruise such as this, just come out to W~shington and we will see that you be­come a "sailor boy."

Where Men Are Men ( C ontimted j?·om Page 21)

fact that nine of the then active chapter list of nineteen of Alpha Beta Chapter were members of that professional medical fraternity. Possibly there are more now, since there were some pledges also. Membership in Pi Kappa Phi is an in­troductory to and a part of the pledge training of that organization. The atmosphere reeks with the odor of medicines and the conversation with medical terms.

Another peculiar thing about the chapter is that they have deleted from all their dictionaries and their language the word "breakfast". I never realized fully the importance of the position I hold until I learned that fact and yet was privileged · to enjoy toast and eggs. From this day forward my family coat of anns shall consist of eggs ram­pant, toast or, coffee sable, and motto: "E Pluri­bus Unum."

Outside activities are few, unless we speak of the daily pilgrimage of the men from the house to Sophia Newcomb, that famous seat of fem­inine ed ucation, the nightly peregrinations among the Southports and the playing of pool. With few exceptions, the campus activities are declasse among the fraternities of Tulane and left entirely to the "barbs." Then, too, the study of medicine and the climate are hard taskmasters.

Nevertheless, a great bunch of men. Had some enjoyable confabs with District

Archon Latham and saw the town with Wally Walsdorf, Alex Thompson, Archon, Gene Robi­chaux, ex-Archon and Archon-elect, Jimmie Dick Purcell, Secretary and Treasurer-elect, and A. F. Caraway, Treasurer.

Could not pass through Mobile without speak­ing to Supreme Historian Leo Pou. I then headed north to be introduced again to Mildred Ann as her father. It was rather difficult to persuade her to believe it.

Alpha Rho Installed at West Virginia (Continued from Page 9)

Twenty-four hundred students were enrolled during the past year.

In athletics, West Virginia's rank is well estab­lished . Her opponents are mostly from the Eastern and Central States. West Virginia's prestige in football dates from 1919, when her team ranked second in the country. In the eleven years that have elapsed since then, her teams have made a creditable showing against formid­able teams from Princeton, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Carnegie, Washington and Jefferson, Washing­ton and Lee, Missouri, Detroit, Fordham, Georgetown, Oklahoma, Gonzaga, Lafayette, Colgate, Penn State, Centre, and Boston College. Basketball, track, and baseball are other major

sports in which the University takes active part. Intramural sports are well established.

The first national social fraternity was estab· li shecl at \Vest Virginia University in 1883. At the present time there are twenty-two national fraternities and four locals ; seven national soror· ities and three locals. Fraternities are governed by the Council of Administration and the Inter· Fraternity Council. In order for a local fratern· ity to petition a national fraternity it must have the approval and consent of both of these Coun· cils, and all members must be in good standing scholastically.

There are thirty-five honorary fraternities and I organizations at the University, among which ar~ Phi Beta .Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Ph1

Delta Phi, Alpha Zeta, Phi Beta Pi, Delta Sigrna Rho, Kappa Delta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, and Mortar Board. ~

DELTA EPSILON FRATERNITY ~

The Delta Epsilon Fraternity was founded i~ the Fall of 1924 by the efforts of a small grouP of students, at the instigation of Coach C. VJ. Spears. The group was granted a charter \Jj the University Board of Administration on MaY 21, 1925, which permitted them to operate as a local fraternity under the name of Delta Epsilo11•

The organization progressed rapidly from its in· ception, socially, financially and scholasticallY' and in the Fall of 1926 moved into a house. The first formal initiation was held December 12, 1926.

The charter members of the fraternity were: John Coleman, William Cosgrove, Jr. , Be~ Evans, W. S. Hayes, Edwin C. Jones, G. f. Jones, Lyic Langfitt, George Phillips, Leo Shinfl• and Edgar Snyder. These men drew up the cotl' stitution, formulated a ritual, and designated the pin and coat of arms.

There are approximately fifty alumni men1•

hers of Delta Epsilon, practically all of who~ have signified their desire to be taken into fi Kappa Phi at the first opportunity.

The members of the chapter have always bee~ active in university affairs and the chapter iS represented in eighteen different honorary org~n· izations. They have taken active part in varsitY and intramural athletics, student governme111' and campus publications. Five members ha"e held student assistantships in the departmentS of instruction of the University.

The alumni members have been organized since 1926 and have shown a splendid spirit of co· operation and interest in the chapter.

By]. S. HAVIS, Iota

DURING the month of June, the Atlanta Alumni gave the first of a series of enter­tainments planned for the year in the form

of a fishing trip held at Lake Burton, located in the mountains of north Georgia, about 125 miles north of Atlanta. It was an enjoyable trip and will long be remembered among the pleasant memories of the brothers that were able to attend. The party was arranged by Brother John Rourk, Lambda, who has proven himself by this event a master along such lines. He did not forget a thing except the fishing tackle, but it was not missed until the party was ready to leave for home.

Four of the brothers left Friday night and arrived at camp about midnight. Those who could not get away from their jobs, came up Saturday afternoon, increasing the number to sixteen. The four had managed to get the party well under way by the time the rest of the brothers arrived. It was a big time for everybody until the wee hours of the morning, when we finally clecicl ecl to call it a clay.

A few of the party were up bright and early and off for a clay's fishing, but as the fish were not feeling well, and it being Sunday, the would­be fishermen gave up early and spent the remain­der of the clay with the rest of the party swim­ming, riding in speed boats, lounging and hulling. We did have, however, two real fishermen in the party who stuck to it all day. T hey started out soon after breakfast with enough paraphernalia to catch all the fish in the lake, and it was in the late afternoon before they returned. After so long a time, we saw them coming down the lake with the boat loaded clown with the day's catch

The Fraternity and Alpha Alpha Chapter join in extending to his widow and parents heartfelt sympathy for their great loss.

MONUMENTS AND MEMORIALS (Banta's Greel~ Exchange)

1'he chief event of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon convention, to be held at Evanston, Illinois, at the ;.~d of 1930, will be the dedication of the beau-1 ul Levere Memorial Temple, now almost com­

Plete. This magnificent building was erected at ~ co~t of approximately $400,000, and occupi~s .a

C<lhon facing the camr)US of Northwestern Um­\rer · "B·Sity. The memorial, named for the renowned · tliy" Levere beloved of all fraternity men, is tn 1 ' . 10nor of all members of S. A. E. who served ~n the World War. It will house a chapel, a li-rary, and a museum, besides the national offices

NEW FRATERNITIES There are few subjects taught in college that

haven't their particular foll owers who are de­sirous of signalizing themselves and their subject. The recent issue of Banta's GTeel~ Exchange car­ried the news of the formation of two organiza­tions that may be added to the ever-growing Jist: A lpha Nu, honorary astronomy, organized at Colorado College in 1928, and now consisting of three chapters; A lpha Kappa Alpha, honorary philosophy, founded at Moravian College, Beth­lehem, Pa.

Rather unique in the field of college organiza­tions is Phi Eta, whose membership is made up of and limited to the mothers of the members of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.

GREEK-LEITER POLICEMEN The town of State College, Pa., seat of Penn­

sylvania State College and numbering some three thousand souls during the college session, is policed by college students . There are twelve men from the institution assisting the chief of police, all of whom are members of college fraternit ies. Five of these are ordinary privates, the remainder made up of two sergeants and five corporals.­Banta's G1'eek Exchange.

GOOD FOR A CHUCKLE Chicago alumni of Sigma Nu on May 20 pre­

sented a jewelled badge to "Chic" Sale, actor and author of "The Specialist." Rumor has it that he will be made Grand Architect of the frater­nity."-The Magazine of Sigma Chi.

This gem from the Kansas City Star: "Any number of college students and grads, li stening in on Rudy Valee at the Fleischmann hom over WDAF Thursday night, were amused to hear the maestro's reminiscences of the good old clays at Maine U niversity when he was a member of the 'Sigmer Alpher Epsilong' Fraternity . . . . That's just the way Rudy pronounced it .... And he wasn't kidding . . . . So Rudy was a 'Sigmer Alpher Epsilong' at college . ... That's a surprise .... From hi s looks we'd have imagined he'd be a 'Baiter Thater Pie.' "-Ibid.

Some "Do's" for the Chapters

1. Monthly news letters to alumni and parents. Only by keeping the "older heads" informed will you ever obtain their interest and support.

2. A definite all-year social program. Lay out your whole social program tentatively now. Fig­ure the respective cost of different events. In­clude the social assessments in the monthly dues. Don't wait until the last minute to plan the pro­grams and raise the money for social events.

3. Train the pledges thoroughly.

4. Get the files in good order. Buy upright manila correspondence folders even if you cannot afford anything but a packing box to keep them in temporarily. Sort out your chapter's corre­spondence. Check over your form supply. Re­quest from the central office all forms needed.

5. Get the money. Collect from eve?"Y man ·when the money is d~te. Enforce automatic sus­pension. In no other way can the chapter avoid financial difficulty.

6. Organize the chapter library. Set aside a small fund to buy new books. Provide shelves for proper protection and elect a librarian to see that they are not lost or misused.

7. Make scholarship the chapter's major activ­ity. Scholarship comes first. Men low in scholar­ship have no business participating in other activities, and other activities which undermine scholarship should be abandoned. Our chapters which stand lowest in scholarship usually do not amount to much in other lines.

8. Improve chapter tone. Discourage an excess of rough housing, rough talk, carelessness, and disorderliness. School the freshmen in proper conduct. Cut down on rough "initiation." Of course the freshmen will be "cocky" toward the sophomores. It would be a shame if they weren't. A freshman who is disrespectful toward intelli­gent upperclassmen should be given a raking over the coals ... in the pledge court, however.

There are scores of other definite things worthy of doing this year, but that's enough to think about now ... \Vhen your term is ended what will you say to the question : What has your chapter done this year? ... Will it have been operated in a businesslike manner with all men paying up, all credits satisfied, all the university community pointing the finger of admiration? Or will the chapter have gained a reputation for irresponsibility and incompetency and the be­havior of a bunch of yearlings? Will the house

District Archon Gass, Chief Installing Officer writes with regard to the installation:

"The thanks of the entire Fraternity are due the Supreme Officers and members of the in­stalling group, and particularly the initiation team from Alpha Nu. They were untiring in their efforts, and their exemplification of the ritualistic ceremony was superb and most im­pressive. The Fraternity also appreciates the loyalty of the many visiting brothers, many of whom traveled hundreds of miles to be present for the installation and to lend their assistance to the new chapter.

"Pi Kappa Phi welcomes its newest chapter into the fold and reposes much faith and con­fidence in it, and feels that it will take its place among the leading chapters of the Fraternity."

We heartily concur with District Archon Gass and believe that it is a case for mutual congrat­ulations. We hope that Alpha Rho will not dis­appoint Dean Stone in his expectations that it will be an exception and will not take the usual "nose-clive" in scholarship.

Welcome, Alpha Rho! May you ever find the affiliation under the star and lamp one of inspiration, of supreme satisfaction, and a door to greater accomplishment!

Kindly overlook our habit of back-patting with this additional item. On two counts we must indulge in a few self-congratulations on the ap­pointment of Joe Cannon to the position of As­sistant Secretary: First, that the Fraternity has

The New Assistant Secretary

obtained the services of a man of his high calibre; second, for the significance his appointment has towards the future develop­ment of the organization.

The position that made the bid for his talents is, to an extent, an experiment, the development

[ 37]

of its value incumbent upon its holder. It pos­sesses multitudinous duties requiring time and effort. These duties, in turn, offer a tremendous field for possible development, for in many in­stances they have been merely assayed and not developed. They were known to be there, need­ing a mind to establish their worth and a guid­ing hand to align them in their importance. The position demanded, then, a man of vision and energy plus an intense interest in the improve­ment of the organization.

We believe that Joe Cannon is the man for the position. Unassuming, despite a rather re­markable undergraduate record, quietly compet­ent, eagerly interested, he has taken hold of a rather difficult position in a manner that be­speaks well of the future of the Fraternity.

We have spoken of the many duties of the position, and their number is legion. The plac­ing of an additional man in the office is a dis­tinctive step forward, however, in that it permits the entrance of specialization.

Blalock, in his two years as Assistant Secre­tary, worked indefatigably in the more routine department of the Central Office, and had little time left for other matters. This still left much of routine on the shoulders of the Executive Secretary and the responsibilities of a variety of duties that certainly could not be classed as rou­tine. It was demanded of him that he be a jack­of-all-trades, a type of individual considered quite passe in these days of specialization. The dis­advantages of such an organization are easily perceived and need no elucidation other than to state that it is rarely possible for an individual to do many things of fairly equal importance in a limited amount of time and do each well. Some­thing has to suffer.

A greater specialization in duties under the present situation of a stenographer-clerk hand­ling the purely routine matters of filing and re­cording and two additional men in the office is possible. It is going to permit more intensive concentration on the duties found essential, with a resulting greater contact and control; it is go­ing to permit thought to be applied to the ex­ploitation of ideas that will lead to the improve­ment of the organization.

Just another rung on the ladder.

We cannot do otherwise than rejoice over the addition to our ranks of Professors John E. Winter, of West Virginia University, and Charles A. Graeser, of the College of Charleston,

two outstanding men in the field of educatiott· It is a tacit and unspoken recognition of the value of frat~rnities in the educational schetne· The character and work of both men will be a~ inspiration to the undergraduate and source 01

that finance and scholarship are the outstanding Problems faced by the organization.

While the record Chapter Scholarship of Pi Kappa Phi and Finances a 1 o n g scholastic b lines is nothing to .ecome unduly elated over, yet with the excep­:~on ~f a few chapters it is fairly acceptable. By E e ,dll:t of intere7ted, persistent effort, J?r. Will

·. Edmgton, Chatrman of the Scholarship Com­llllttee, . has emphasized the importance of this Phase of activity in such a way as to make it an outstanding point of endeavor for most of the chapters. (Incidentally, we are glad to note ~hat Dr. Edington will have the assistance in the f llture of Doctors V.Tinter and Petry.) His ef­~rts have been ably seconded by the efforts of ~e. officials of the Fraternity and the Central

fhce. It still remains a problem but not as llluch as it has been in the past.

Not so chapter finances. There is a fear a~long official circles that Pi Kappa Phi will be lll!nus a few chapters in the coming years unless a ract· 1 th ' Ica improvement takes place. For most of

1 ese chapters the accepting and ~iving of credit sl~s been their greatest weakness, which is in it­\ e f an indictment of the chapter officers who t~ere responsible for the financial guidance of re~ ~roups. They face a heavy burden of cur­a dt lllclebtedness brought about by extravagance p\ the failure to enforce an adequate collection si~ lc~. Whether or not they can overcome this t llatJon is the question each chapter will have ~face during the coming year, for the Supreme

llncil has issued its ultimatum. i 'fhe immediate problem, then, in these cases, es Cttrative measures. The Central Office has

e 0 a chapter budget. Supreme Archon Wag-e::,: . has importuned the District Offici~ls to ch C!se greater control over these part1cular llla~~t~rs during the coming year. However, the c11 llllpetus must come from the object of the ca r.e. Each chapter should fully realize its pre­Pr~tous situation, should desire intensely to im­to 1"e conditions, should seize the methods and om~ calcttlatecl to remedy. As physicians, the Cttrct~ls can and do prescribe the budget as a ha1 ~j bu~, like other prescriptions, if it is not

; eel 111 the proper manner it is worthless. as he same prescription may be, and is, advised Pre Preventative measure. The budget is to be anlared properly at the beginning of the year of tl'1lonthly closes applied. The main purpose

lese monthly doses of the budget is to see

that the chapter obtains the proper income and does not spend more than it is taking in. The problem of income is mainly that of collection. The chapters do not seem to lack a sufficiency of men but they do find some men who cannot or will not face their share of the obligations, a sufficient number to affect the situation adversely. This is the crux of the matter in regard to in­come. The chapters and officers must adopt the policy that all who dance must assist in paying the piper. The man not willing to pay his share and pay promptly is not at heart a real fraternitv man but a leech of the worst sort. There (s only one place for him: Outside.

V.Te consider the law of heredity unjust ; we try to reason why the third and fourth genera­tion must also suffer. It is as unjust that the incoming members of the chapter must pay the bills of former members, and it is without the consolation of the law of retribution. The ones who should pay those bills are those that enjoyed the reasons for their accumulation. It would be rather difficult to persuade the men in question to accept this statement, therefore the present increasing emphasis on the budget as a preven­tative.

Omega is to be congratulated for the winning of the Efficiency Contest. It is to be congrat­ulated, in addition, on the outstanding reasons for winning the award : The monthly treasurer's reports carried few or no indications of delin­quent members; the obligations of the chapter were paid promptly; and it has a co-operative group of men with a fine sense of their responsi­bilities. The esp1-it de corps of Omega is excellent and unsurpassed a direct proof of the inter-rela­tion of finances and fraternal functions and that the efficiently functioning chapter is the one that is financially solvent. The budget is given a seri­ous consideration in this chapter.

Therefore, we can say that chapter problems are present in smaller or greater quantities, are of minor or major significance, in direct ratio to the presence or lack of presence in the group of that quality of group spirit-the will to real­ize and do. The intangible quality mentioned, on the other hand, is usually directly related to the financial condition of the house, one of the most important of the chapter problems. Thus, we have a vicious circle of relation. Without doubt, however, the key to the circle is the problem of finance. E liminate that problem and you obtain the esprit and eliminate the other problems. A budget, a simple set of financial rules, a grou{J of competent officers, an interested adviser, are

[ 39 J

all that is needed to relegate the bugaboo of finances to limbo. No chapter can say that they are impossible to obtain.

Swaffield Cowan, Sigma '29, sent in the fol­lowing. He writes, "Both the title and name of the author are missing, but in its meaning it

Returning Alumni

may cause some of our alumni, who have drifted from the crowd, to try to get in touch with the boys."

"If your joints are getting rusty, And rheumatics make you shout;

If the ills of age assail you, Or you're getting far too stout;

If your knees are getting wobbly, Or you're troubled with the gout;

If your head is getting shiny On the place you hair should grow;

If the little things annoy you And make you suffer so;

It's time you took a tonic-Get out, yell, and make a noise;

Take a day off from your labors And spend it with the boys."

It happens to remind me of a conversation that took place among a group of alumni the other evening. When urged to go back to the chapter as much as possible, one or two of them ex­pressed a1 total lack of enthusiasm. One of them voiced his feelings thus:

"Why should I go back? They do not know me from Adam's house cat. I do not know any of them. If I go, it will be a dead-stick party for all concerned."

We are also reminded of an experience of an alumnus of another organization on his return to the undergraduate chapter as related in the recent issue of Banta's G1·eel~ Exchange. An author of a current best seller, he was advised that the chapter would welcome a visit and re­ceive him with open arms. He was in the house twenty minutes before an undergraduate ap­proached him and undertook to introduce him to the other members. Evidently the name meant nothing for he insisted in making an error in repeating it. Of more immediate and personal experience, it was rumored, while the writer was an undergraduate, that Newton D. Baker had visited. his underg.raduate chapter without being recogmzed and smtably welcomed. Th~ alm~mus mak!ng the statements had a pre­

conceived 1dea of h1s reception, as probably did the two whose experiences are told. The idea is correct so long as they believe it and do not act in a way to disprove it. It must be realized

by all alumni that the undergraduate umverse /5

comparatively small, bounded in the main by tt~ affairs and events of the campus and person~ affairs. It is the unusual undergraduate who:~ familiar with the authors of best sellers or wou

1 recognize on sight men prominent in the politi~­and business world. Too, the alumnus must re

11 ize that he is the older man and that age usua ~ creates diffidence in the younger. It can e easily imagined what the reaction of the under· graduate man would be in the presence 0~~ celebrity. He would tell himself that the. g1

1 man would not care to meet him, an i~1sign!fica~e being; he would come to the concluswn that ld could not carry on a conversation that wou interest the visitor.

· tak· Of course the undergraduate is wrong 111 a ing this attitude, but he does not realize, as 11 usual case, that the line of demarcation betwe~ e the undergraduate and the alumnus, whoever ;d is, is rather tenuous, that the older man wo~at like to remove the barrier, and it is natural t er he assume the position that he does. The ~oun1g c· man should realize that if he is hesitant .111 1~ 3
