COLLEGE FRATERNITY SECRET ARIES ASSOCIATION

An Affiliate of the National Interfraternity Conference

To: Deans of Men Fraternity Advisors Interfraternity Council Presidents

Many deans and IFC presidents approved and adopted the policy on rushing suggested last fall by the College Fraternity Secretaries Association: 1· That the use of alcoholic beverages be avoided in

rushing. 2· That formal rush be limited to one week or, preferably,

less. 3. Tha.t rushing expenses be reduced by elimi.nating pro-

fessiOnal entertainment and elaborate parties.

'I'here are certain practices and customs which continue to be carried out by Fraternity members ~hich cause un­favorable publicity for the entire Fratern1ty System and sometimes result in injury or death for a membe: or Pledge. These objectionable practices include such thmgs as: 1· Trophy Stealing 2· Pledge Walkouts 3. Pledge Hikes or Trips 4· Undesirable Initiation Observances in public or pri-

vate.

lvfa~y of these practices have a deep background . of tradition on certain campuses. However, the fact rem~ms that again and again one or another of these pract1ces causes serious trouble for the chapter involved, embar­rassment and bad publicity for the institution, and local and often nationwide bad public relations for the entire Fraternity System.

'We need good/ublic relations and the best way to get them is to avoi bad public relations. 'I'he College Fraternity Secretaries Association, with the f~U approval of the Executive Committee of the Na­t~onal Interfraternity Conference, urges that you con­Sider these objectionable practices and, if they are a part of Fraternity life on your campus, take such steps as may be necessary to prevent their future occurrence.

Sincerely,

George V. Uihlein, Jr., President College Fraternity Secretaries Association . . .

The College Fraternity Secretaries Association is ac~­al!y the association of Executive Secretaries of the maJor national fraternities. Each Summer the administrative heads of the fraternity world get together to discuss mutual problems. The above letter was issued this Fall by the association in an effort to make more people ap­Preciate the fact the poor conduct by one group reflects on all groups; further that experience has proven to those most directly informed in fraternity affairs that

~OVEMBER, 1958

such items as mentioned above serve no good overall purpose.

The fraternity secretaries leave the keen competition normally associated with the Greeks, up to the under~ graduate chapters, as they work together by letter and newspaper throughout the year. Then each Summer sev­eral days are spent together going over internal oper­ations, improvements, problems, and other information worth sharing among "the craft."

The above letter deserves the sincere attention of each Pi Kapp.

While looking at the fraternity with an observant eye toward improvement, it would appear as though Pi Kappa Phi has fallen behind in its civic and community obligations. It would not be out of place of each chapter in the fraternity to have one project each year devoted to helping others. With the manpower that a college fraternity has available and with the tremendous po­tential a group of men have when working together, one afternoon a year would be all that was necessary to. achieve ~orne worthwhil~ objec;:tive .. To clean up a cnpple man s lawn or repa1r a w1dow s home are just a few of the many ways to prove the worth of brother­hood. It would be a rewarding experience for all. Too few of our chapters have responded to the needs of others around them. . . .

Pi Kappa Phi needs a motto-a gimmic-to be used in its literature. Indeed we need a trade mark to be as­sociated with the fraternity. Perhaps it could be "A fraternity and a home," or "The Hallmark of Brother­hood." Our readers are invited to offer their thoughts on a slogan for ye ole fraternity.

A very dedicated group gathered in Atlanta for the 27th Supreme Chapter meeting. Some conventions are conspicuous for their noise or their/arties but the meet­ing in Atlanta could truly be calle a "work" meeting. The fraternity will soon benefit from their application to the problems at hand. Not that it couldn't be said that they didn't enjoy themselves for one and all will quickly say that "you haven't lived until you've attended a Pi Kapp National Convention."

. . . Very special plans are now being formulated towards

a milestone in journalism-a 50th anniversary. Next fall will see a special issue of The Star and Lamp, re­viewing 50 years of an official magazine of the fraternity. There are some things planned that we know will both surprise and please you. The special staff for the anni­versary issue is especially interested in any old pictures or information concerning the magazine through the years. Every effort will be made to return them but their safest place for perpetuality is in between the covers of the anniversary issue.

The Two Presidents Our immediate Past National President Karl

M . Gibbon, following his graduation from high school in June, enlisted in the Naval Reserve and was stationed at Great lakes until shortly follow­ing the Armistice. He then enrolled in the Uni ­versity of Illinois, where he became a member of the Gamma Sigma Kappa local which later became our own Upsilon Chapter.

His fellow Upsilonian, Glenn Porter Brock, now President of the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Rail­road, following service in the Army from June of 1917 thru December of 1918, likewise enrolled in the University of Illinois, upon his release. He, too, became associated with Paul Walker and other Gamma Sigma Kappians and today is one of our successful brethren.

"You can't tell about a football team," Brother Butts said in discussing this year's players, "but we have bet­ter material than we've had in the last few years. For a change, we've got some experience and depth."

National Convention Chairman James B. Ramage

Supreme Chapter Meet Is ~~work Convention" A LARGE and certainly enthusiastic group of Pi Kapps

were on hand in Atlanta, Ga., for the 27th Supreme Chapter. The local alumni and the Henry Grady Hotel proved to be gracious hosts. The lobby of the hotel was dominated by a 12-foot-long banner, stating in large letters, "Welcome Pi Kapps !" And so, with this greet­ing, those attending settled down to the tasks at hand and made the August 18th, 19th, and 20th meeting one of the best "work conventions" on record.

The entire fraternity policy was reviewed in different committees in a desire to continue refining the already proven basic organization. Some changes were suggested in the National Districting system so as to offer better area contacts for the chapters and an improved arrange­ment for Leadership School locations. The chapter elec­tions system was altered to permit nominations before chapter elections for those chapters with special reasons to deviate from the established policy.

Magazine's 50th Anniversary Issue

The Star and Lamp magazine subscription rate was voted back on a lifetime basis after some discussion and a review of the factors involved (further comment on

this is found elsewhere in this issue). The effect of this is to. nullify the action of the 26th Supreme Chapter ~eetmg and put all members of the fraternity on a ]!fe· time subscription basis.

The National Council authorized the issuance of a n~w Pledge Manual and started plans for the 50th An·. mversary of an official magazine (The Pi Kappa Phi Jottmal, 1909-1911; The Star and Lamp, 1911-to?ay) ?f the fraternity to be observed in a special Fall !ssu~ m 1959. The Council further directed that a NatJOna Directory of the entire fraternity membership be c~rn· piled in the Spring of 1959 (additional informatiOn is found elsewhere in this issue) for distribution on ~n individual purchase basis. A History of the Fraterntt}' will follow in 1960.

Recognition Awards to Be Created

Some new National recognition awards are to be ere· ated and a new National Scholarship Champion Chapte~ Award was announced and donated by the Council an. is to be named in honor of Dr. Will E. Edington, Pt Kappa Phi Sd1olarship Chairman for a third of a cen.turYj

Further action streamlined the action of the NatJOna Office in assisting an undergraduate chapter in collecting delinquent accounts. The National Office equipment w~s reviewed and, after several years of review and investt· gation, an offset duplicating machine was purchased.

Not all was work, for entertainment was planned for all. The ladies had fashion shows and guided tours, and the brothers and their favorite girls would join fo~ a warm-up party, banquet, or dance. The Atlanta Alurnnt

indeed turned on the Southern Hospitality and charm for their visitors and guests. As the Banquet progressed, the dinner music turned to college songs as one dele­gate after another would convince the band that it should Play his Alma Mater song so that he could stand up and cheer. The social climax of the Convention was the Grand Ball with Beta Kappa Chapter at Georgia State C?llege functioning as the dating bureau. The bureau ~td Atlanta proud with as charming a collection of beau­hes as has ever been assembled. The delegates' faces showed this to be true.

Alpha Mu, Alpha Tie for Championship

.Penn State's Alpha Mu Chapter shared the spotlight "IVtth Alpha of Charleston as the National Champion Chapter of the year. Other awards included the Presi­de?fs Plaque Award for Chapter Newspaper excellence &otng to the A/micron at Iowa State College's Alpha Omicron and the new Will E.

Georgia Tech's Iota Chapter initiation team put on the model initiation and "brotherized" two neophytes.

Brother Jones Elected National President

As the 27 th Supreme Chapter met in its last session, the delegates turned their thoughts to the election of a new National Council and the 1960 Convention site. Brother W.

Lifetime Subscription Again for the Star and La1np

The subscription policy of The Star and Lamp has been placed back on a lifetime membership basis. This again permits the entire membership to receive the official publication of the fraterni­ty. The main reason for this decision, reversing the decree of the 1956 Supreme Chapter meet­ing which voted to void the lifetime subscription policy, is based on the fact that the 1956 meet­ing voted certain changes in The Star and Lttmp Endowment Fund contribution (which is in­cluded in the initiation fee) and this Fund is now receiving three times the original amount and therefore justifying the Endowment plan of lifetime subscriptions.

Other reasons cited included: (1) The pos­sibility that the 1956 provision is unconstitu­tional; (2) The necessity of keeping Alumni files current; (3) The entire membership in­formed; ( 4) No substantial savings would re-

1 9 58

~u.lt from red~~ing the press run; (5) Jeopard­IZ~ng the matlmg contract; ( 6) Keeping faith w1th the fraternity membership who joined under a lifetime subscription plan (though their contribution to the fund was not sufficient in itself to serve the desired purpose).

Those who have responded to the subscrip­tion drive now have an option with their money. This new subscription money is in a special fund and has not been used as yet for any pur­pose. The subscription fee will be returned upon request to the contributor. All funds not re­turned by request will revert to a special fund. The probable purpose of this special fund will ?e for use in th~ special ~olden Anniversary 1ssu~ of the. C?ffiCI~l Magazme of the Fraternity -:-a JOurnalistic milestone. The option of return­mg the money or keeping it in the special fund is up to each contributor in the recent subscrip­tion drive.

This rating system is arranged to put emphasis on content and not on type of reproduction. Your publi­cation should be directed to YOUR ALUMNI and is judged with that in mind. Many more of the chapters are using the "Offset" process for producing their pub­lication. This method is less expensive than other print­ing processes, is versatile, and does an all-around good job. However, regardless of individual limitations as to media used, in the final analysis, it depends only upon the ability and ingenuity of your editor, his staff, and the support of the entire chapter to produce an eligible paper.

Your delegate had an opportunity to look over some of the more outstanding publications which were ex­hibited at the Convention. Among those displayed, Rho RtJmblings was outstanding for alumni news coverage. The Dusak and Beta Kappa's Lamplighter were out­standing for editorial material, and the A/micron, Rho Rttmblings, and Omicron 's Omicronicle were outstanding for quality of headlining and general appearance of copy. Ask him for a few pointen in planning your paper for this school year.

To all of you, we urge you to "keep up the good work" and get your editor (the historian or a specifically designated member) "on the ball" and get your chap­ter paper off to a good start this year.

There can be only one winner, but your chapter paper can be that winner. Best of luck to all of you.

HDarby Trial" Author Pursues Two Careers

THE PROVERBIAL "rusty nail" goes to Brother

Mel Metcalfe for his suc­cess in obtaining info't1:nation from Brother Richard Elmo ("Dick") Pearce about him­self. Brother Pearce, who was initiated into Alpha Gamma Chapter at the Uni­versity oJ Oklahoma in 1928, is suw!ssful in both the newspaper and literary fields. The Star and Lamp has been trying for several years to persuade '· Brother Pearce to give info'i:lnation about him­self for a ~tory,. but to no avail. We are most grateful to Brother Metcalfe, ·Alpha Gamma, for his help.

two subjects, about which I had acquired considerable knowledge as a newspaper· man. These were Commu· nism and courtrooms, which I combined to produce ·rhe Darby Trial.' It was the trial of a secret Commu· nist leader.

"This apparently has been my most successful book. It was serialized by The Satfir· day Evening Post and pt~b-1ished as a book by Lipp1.n· cott. Three of my earl1er books had been chosen by minor book clubs. This was the first book to hit a big one, The Reader's Digest Condensed Book Club."

Brother Pearce attributes his leanness to his arduoL!S gardening. This is the only exercise he takes. He is 49.

"I am pursuing two writ­ing careers, one as a news­paperman and the other as a fictioneer," Brother Pearce said in his letter to Brother Metcalfe. "As a newspaper­man, I am chief editorial writer of The San Francisco Examiner, the largest news­paper here. There's nothing more I can say about that career except that I love newspaper work and expect to be in it all my life.

"My lovely Carol and I are in the nineteenth year of our marriage," Brother Pearce said. "She is a trained librarian and good critic, a~d a tremendous help to me 10 my writing. She is a Sa~ Francisco girl and UniversJ· ty of California graduate."

"The other career began in 1944 when, after promising myself for many years I would try my hand at fiction, I actually got around to it because I had begun to ac­quire a family of some size and needed money. The first story I ever wrote was a short western serial en­titled "Outpost," and no one was more surprised than I when The Satm·day Evening Post bought it.

"There followed munerous short stories in The Post, Collier's, American Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and other magazines. Then I settled down to writing books. The first was a thing called "Desert Steel," published as a serial by Collier's and as a book by Random House. Then followed "The Impudent Rifle," a historical novel laid in eastern Oklahoma in the 1830's. It, too, was serialized by Collie11 s, then published as a book by Lip­pincott.

"Next came a short modern novel laid in California's Mother Lode and called "Valley of tl1e Tyrant." It was serialized by Collier's and published as a paperback book. After that came another historical laid on ilie Oklahoma-Texas border and entitled "The Restless Bor­der." It was serialized by The Post and published as a book by Lippincott. ·

Modern Aladdin Cuts 1ortune from Rocl<s he

WHO OF US has not been thrilled by the fantastic stories of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp? We

knew those stories were not true, but we loved them.

Today we have discovered a modern Aladdin whose story is true. His achievements come not as a result of rub­bing a magic lamp but of applying his own skill and hard work to the jobs at hand. This modern Aladdin is Brother Jim Stoinoff, Lambda '31, University of Georgia.

We were fascinated by the story about Brother Stoinoff which appeared in the February issue of Shell Progress. In this story, the author, A. ]. Pappas, explained how Brother Stoinoff, who operates a Shell oil station in Miami, Fla., doubles as a car and gem expert.

Cuts Fortune from Rocks

"When Miami dealer Jim Stoinoff winds up a 12-hour stint at his station, he sits down with a pile of stones in his home workshop," Mr. Pappas said in opening his story. "And while his always-open station goes on making money, he's busy cutting a fortune out of rocks .

"He starts with a raw precious or semi-precious stone with ragged edges and a dull surface, and cuts, grinds, and polishes it until it becomes a glittering gem worth many times the value of the original rough stone.

"There are a few thousand people in the country who do that sort of thing as a hobby-they're called lapidaries. But few rock hounds in the country can match Stoinoff's talent for getting the greatest possible value out of a stone.

"In Miami, he's long been known as a car expert. But publicity given Stoinoff by the Miami Stmday News has boosted his prestige as both a car and gem expert. The newspaper ran a full-color spread on the dealer who doubles as a gem expert, and brought a lot of people into his station for gasoline and a chat with a local celebrity.

Collection Worth about $125,000

"And no wonder. Stoinoff's collection of rubies is said to be more valuable than that of any of his rival lapi­daries. What's more, he's got a wide assortment of other gems in a vault in a Miami bank; altogether they're worth about $125,000.

"Picture a queen's jewel chest filled with gems of every shape and color, and you'll have an idea of the contents of Stoinoff's safety deposit box," Mr. Pappas said.

Brother Stoinoff bought some of the raw stones from gem dealers throughout the country for only a fraction of the value of the finished gems, but he found most of them on his own property, a 14-acre vacation place he bought 10 years ago in Hiawassee, Ga., the place where he and his wife and daughter spent their Summers.

He began collecting stones-arrowheads-there dur­ing his first vacation. Three years later he commenced collecting raw precious stones and metals. His collection of arrowheads-Cherokee--includes four or five thou­sand specimens.

Beholdl Gems, mostly rubies and sapphires, worth $125,000. They belong to Brother Jim Stoinoff, Lambda '31, UniversitY of Georgia , who is looking at them with you.

"It was on an arrowhead hunt one day that a differe~~ type of stone caught his eye : a gem in its natural sta~e, Mr. Pappas con tinued. "But he didn't know what ktnd of rock he' d fou nd, or whether it had any value.

Stones by the Bucketful

"He quickly learned that after a rainfall, when the ground was eroded a bit, he could gather raw precious stones by the bucketful; they lay exposed on top of the ground. 'Of course they're harder to find now that the word's out and a lot of other people are looking for them,' Jim says. 'Last time I went to my favorite spot, I counted eight people there--down on their hands and knees sifting the earth for raw stones.'"

Brother Stoinoff took some of his stones to Denver for examination by Department of Mines experts. They reported that he had a vari ety of rocks and metals rang· ing from a small amethyst to a sapphire the size of a golf ball , but none was very valuable in its natural state.

Through years of study, trial, and error, he acquired the ski ll and equ ipment to convert the raw stones into valuable gems.

"His first major triumph came two years ago when he Walked away with top prize for rubies at a Baltimore co~test sponsored by the Eastern Federation of Mineral-0&tcal and Lapidary Societies," the story related.

Nationwide Recognition

1 "lie earned nationwide recognition as a gem expert

ast year when he captured a first prize in a Denver ;how where competition is limited to lapidaries who've aken top awards in regional contests all over the coun­try."

~rother Stoinoff had to learn two methods of gem 6ntshing-faceting and cutting cabochons. The story ~hplained that a cabochon is any smooth, rounded stone

at has no facets cut into it. 1-Iis proudest achievement, we are told, is a cabochon:

a 1~4-carat purple-and-red star ruby that has been ap­Pratsed at $35,000. In Jess expert hands, the stone might never have been worth more than $3,500. The six-rayed Perfect star that Brother Stoinoff painstakingly brought to the ruby's surface at dead center is what gives the sto~e its great value. He had bought the rough stone, \Vf htch had come from Burma, from a Chicago gem dealer or 500.

"For six months he worked on the stone every spare moment he could find," the story continued. "But he was Unable to stay with it for more than two hours at a stretch: 'My eyes needed a break from the terrific strain of looking through 7117-power lenses, while I whittled away at the stone.'

·:But he went back to his workbench at every oppor­~ntty-cutting with precision accuracy; grinding; polish­tog.

"'It's a form of expression,' he says. 'Like the painter or the sculptor, I try to make something that's beautiful to see. What's more, it's relaxing, and gives me a sense of achievement.' "

Rubies and sapphires make up about half of this modern Aladdin's 2,000-gem collection. The other half includes­amethysts, emeralds, garnets, opals, and aguamarine chrysoberyl, morganite, and topaz crystals. '

Brother Stoinoff shows little interest in the commercial value of his gems. He plans to donate his entire collection some day to the State of Georgia or to the University of Georgia, his alma mater.

All-America Squad Full-Back

He a~ende~ the ~niversity ~n. a f~otball s0olarship and maJored tn Busmess AdmmtstratJOn. In his senior year, he made Knute Rockne's honorary AU-America Sguad as a full-back. And he twice tied the world record' in the 60-yard dash. The record time stood at 6.2 seconds until Jesse Owens shaved one-tenth of a second off the mark.

Brother Stoinoff hasn't allowed his 200-pound, six-foot frame to get soft with inactivity. He gets up daily at dawn . takes a brisk three-guarter-of-a-mile run, and easily tick~ off 20 push-ups before breakfast. He is 47.

In 1938, Brother Stoinoff took over the small station on a postage-stamp lot at 36th Street and 7th Avenue, on one of Miami's busiest intersections, put all his bound­less energy into it, and saw gallonage triple, TBA sales and service income increase tenfold.

" 'It's like gem finishing,' Jim says. 'Work at it hard enough and long enough, and you're bound to come· up with something valuable.' "

Brother Hector A. Negron!

Brother Negroni Studies At Air Force Academy ALPHA UPSILON CHAPTER, Drexel, is represented

at the United States Air Force Academy by at least one member. He is Brother Hector A. Negroni, Alpha Upsilon '57.

Brother Negroni has passed to us a copy of the state­ment of the mission of the academy:

"To provide instruction, experience, and motivation to each cadet so that he will graduate with the knowledge and qualities of leadership required of a junior officer in the United States Air Force, and with a basis for con­tinued development throughout a lifetime of service to his country, leading to readiness for responsibilities as a future air commander."

Brother Negroni explained that "while progress points more and more toward the area of technology and science; diplomacy, leadership, and an understanding of democ­racy and the arts are rapidly gaining in importance. While teaching a regular college curriculum, the academy pre­pares the cadet for his career by giving instruction in flying training and the military studies. If any of the instruction which he receives is specialized, this is it. Spread over the four years at the academy, the cadet re­ceives the same course of instruction that all air force navigators are given and receives upon graduation his pair of wings as a rated navigator.

"Aside from these specialized studies, the academy

1 6

accomplishes several functions which are not emphasiz~t in civilian institutions to the degree required by the f!l~ · itary profession. A man's character is added to by rapt J maturing him. This is accomplished by a semi-sho treatment known as Fourth Class Training. The succesd of this method is more than proved by the enviable recor established in combat by the graduates of the other twO service academies.

"The academy, the Air Force, and the future provide the cadet with his incentive and motivation. Though the academy does not turn out scientists, engineers, ?0d tors, or lawyers, it does turn out an equally highly tratne specialist-the Air Force officer. Perhaps a new degree should be created and the cadet's diploma could carry the notation: 'Major in Airmanship.' "

The address of the academy is Denver 8, Colo.

Dr. Fergus Leads on Paths Mapped by Founders

By BROTHER MIKE MAXWELL, Historian

Alpha Mu Chapter, Penn State UniversitY

This story was w1·itten several mollths ago.

SCHOLARSHIP, as stated in the Creed of Pi Kappa. Phi, is one of the basic principles on which the Fra·

~er~ity was founded. Fifty-three years ago a group .of mdlVlduals got together and decided to foster this qualtt}' ?f ~ducatio?. Since then the Fraternity has grown b~th m stze and tdeas-with one binding element, scholarshtp, still prevailing.

Alpha Mu Chapter at Penn State has lived by these standards ever since the chapter was founded in 1927· Today, 30 years later, we have one of the best faculty members at the university to guide us along these set principles.

Dr. C. L. Fergus, Alpha Mu '52, is the individual t.o whom the chapter owes many thanks. It is through htS tireless and endless efforts that the chapter has done so well scholastically. During a year, Alpha Mu has climbed up the ladder of success from a low of 52nd on campus to a present rating of 17th. And we're still going strong.

Dr. Fergus, a botanist by profession, recently was elect· ed President of the Association of Fraternity Couns~· lors here at Penn State. He is also a member of Sigma ){i, the national science fraternity; Gamma Sigma Delta, bon· or agricultural society, and several other professional honoraries.

At Ottawa University, Kansas, as an undergraduate, Dr· Fergus performed well in his studies and in addition ran the quarter mile and the half mile for the varsity track team.

He then went to graduate school at Kansas University and there gained a master's degree in Botany.

After graduate school, Dr. Fergus entered the NaV}' and participated in the initial invasions of Kiska, Saipan. Tinian, Peleliu and Okinawa. In 1948 he added the final touch to his formal education by gaining a doctor's degree at Penn State.

With the aid of a State grant, Dr. Fergus began wor}( in 1952 on a research project on the problem of Oa.k Wilt. His research has yielded improved control of thtS disease.

He is married and has two sons: Chuck, 6 years old, and Mike, 3 years old.

Alpha Mu congratulates Dr. Fergus on his recent eJec· tion as ~resident ~f AFC and thanks him for his spiri_ted cooperatiOn and atd as t11e chapter faculty adviser. Wr~· out him we wouldn't have performed so well scholastt· cally. Thanks again, Doctor, for a job well done.

Mrs. Sadler is the former Mary Alice Masters, a 1938 Home Economics graduate of Purdue. The Sadlers have two children: Anne, who plans to enter Purdue next Fall. and a son, Jim, who hasn't started to plan his college career. They live at 2416 Harlem Boulevard in Rockford·

Pledges Entertain Children As a HHelp Week" Project

The children consumed a picnic lunch consisting of 8~ bottles of milk, 48 ice cream cups, and 13 pounds 0

hot dogs.

(The story below was the first in a series of reports of "Help 117 eek" activities undertaken by the fraternity pledge classes of Eastern Michigan College's social fra­ternities, published in the Eastern Echo of EMC this Spring. A11 account of the trip described here appeared in the Ypsilanti D ai ly Press May 3.)

The milk and ice cream were donated to the children by the Wilson Dairy of Ann Arbor.

Accompanying the children were Pi Kappa Phi pledge_s Jepp Bryant, Fred Deaner, Dan Free, Larry Ordows~ Larry Powers, Bill Raeburn, Al Sebert, Bob White, D1

Wilbur, and John Witten. Assisting with the day's activities were Miss Oli_ve

Chase and Prof. Agnes Rogers, Rackham school !W

structors; Nyla Hicks, a senior from Yankton, S. D., and Mrs. Jacqueline Wilbur.

Last Friday, the pledges of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity conducted a trip to the Belle Isle Zoo for 24 of the children from Rackham School.

Arranged through Dr. William C. Lawrence, EMCs Vice-President for Student Affairs, and Miss Gertrude Roser, Principal of Rackham, the trip began at 9:00a.m., travelling on busses provided by the college.

The children had a wonderful time exploring the "wilds" of the zoo, according to the fraternity pledges.

"We're sure that after the Alpha Gams painted the Rackham dormitory rooms and the Pi Kapps gave the children a 'day off,' thanks to all the cooperation re; ceived, the change from 'Hell Week' to 'Help Week is all the more complete," stated Dick Wilbur, President of the Pi Kappa Phi pledge class.

]ervey Memorial Benefits Davidson College Students

This story was writte11 last 11Villter.

FOR MANY YEARS it was the dream of the language staff of Davidson College to possess facilities which

would enable students to learn the actual speaking of a foreign language. It was not until the friends of Brother James Wilkinson Jervey, III, Epsilon '50, Davidson Col­lege, decided to make a memorial to him that these dreams were realized.

Brother Jervey was an honor graduate of Davidson College in the Class of 1953, with a major in Spanish. While at Davidson he was president of the honorary Spanish fraternity, Sigma Delta Pi. Upon graduation, "Jinks," as he was known by his classmates and friends, was awarded a Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, from which institution he received his Master's Degree in 1954. He was then the recipient of a Rotary scholar­ship for a year of study in Chile, and it was there that he died from injuries received in a skiing accident.

Upon receiving the authority to initiate plans for the Language Laboratory, a committee, composed of Profes­sor Howard French, Dr. Pedro Trakas, and Dr. George Watts, chairman, made visits to existing language labora­tories in several colleges. They also made a survey from information obtained from 96 of the existing college labs in the country.

By Spring of last year the committee was able to recom­mend details for installation of 24 individual booths with tape recorders in each booth. Also a control table was installed, equipped with three play-back machines, one for each language studied: German, French, and Spanish.

At the opening of college this year the James Wilkin­son Jervey, III, Memorial Language Laboratory was ready for use.

TI1e dedication of this memorial took place Wednes­day, February 19, at a convocation at the college. Dr. Clarence John Pietenpol, Acting President and Dean of the Faculty of Davidson, had as his topic, "The James Wilkinson Jervey, III, Language Laboratory." The prin­cipal address was delivered by Dr. James Logan Godfrey, Dean of the Faculty of the University of North Carolina. His subject was "International Communication in Our Day."

The Year in Review-1957-1958

The fraternity initiated the largest number of new members in its 54.-year history this past college year except for one veteran-laden post-war year. Pledging records were also challenged.

Eight joint Conclaves and Leadership Confer­ences were held across the nation under the super­vision of the National Office.

The District Presidents set out to reach the goal of a visit per chapter from its District President each year in addition to the National Office visi­tation program and the Leadership Conference plan.

mr. JLlopb Iianks ~boll Dr. Lloyd Banks Sholl, Alpha Theta

'27, died of a cerebral hemorrhage July 14 at a Lansing, Mich., hospital. He had been ill for a month and was hospitalized twelve days prior to his death.

Brother Sholl was born in Logan, Utah, and was graduated from the University of Wisconsin and Cornell University. "Doc" joined the Michigan State University faculty in 1924. He was named Professor of Veterinary Pathology in 1953.

A Corporal in the Medical Corps, with the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, Doc was past Commander of the East Lansing Wil­liam Riker Johnson post of the Ameri­can Legion. He was a member of Phi Zeta and Alpha Psi honorary veterinary fraternities, Sigma Psi honorary science fraternity, American Association of Pathologists, Michigan Veterinary As­sociation, and the Masons.

Doc was .initiated into Alpha Theta Chapter in 1927, and thus began his thirty-year guardianship as the Faculty Adviser. During the years from 1946 to 1949 he served as President of Dis­trict X. While President, he was in­strumental in the formation of Pi Kappa Phi Building Corporation which is owned by the· alumni and controls the Alpha Theta Chapter house. At the time of his death he was serving as President of the Building Corpora­tion and was actively engaged in plans for the construction of a new house for the Chapter.

In 1950, Brother Sholl was among the recipients of the Pi Kappa Phi Alumni Merit Citation awarded at the twenty-third Supreme Chapter Meet­ing.

During his thirty-year association with the Chapter, Doc was the major force behind the progress made in mat­ters of finances and general strength of the Chapter. He has contributed his guiding genius during depression, war, and recovery. No Pi Kapp has left the Chapter without fond memories of Doc and his efforts on behalf of the Chapter. He will be severely missed.

Following services in Lansing, his body was taken to Milwaukee's Ar­lington Cemetery where military grave­side rites were held. Brother Sholl is survived by his widow, H elen.
