_WASHINGTON -- The Senate's 53Republican members have unani-mously elected Tennessee SenatorHoward Baker as Senate MajorityLeader.

Baker, a three-term senator, hasserved as minority leader of theU. S. Senate since 1977.

After his election as majorityleader, Baker said, "It has beenmy honor to serve the peopleof Tennessee in the U. S. Senate."

Baker said his election will makehim even more effective in repre-senting his constituency in Ten-nessee as well as increasing hisabilities to shape the legislativeagenda for the country.

Outlining his plans for the U. S.Senate, Baker said, "I want tobuild a high level of cooperationand goodwill between the Senateand the White House. I also wantto see the nature of the Senate

as a great debating institutionrestored."

He added that he intends to cut-back on the cost of operating theSenate by 10 percent across-the-board, or a reduction of $20million.

"I hope we can get away from thebusiness of acting like electedbureaucrats in passing thousand-page bills which try to describein detail how Americans shouldrun their lives." Baker said. "TheSenate should focus on policy-setting and oversight instead oftrying to compete with the Exec-utive in the administrative busi-ness."

Baker said, "My hope is to try todo my best to bring togethersenators of differing viewpointsinto an effective political unitto set the public policy of thecountry and to pass the programsof the new Administration."

Gamma Kappa P.U.S.H.Basketball Marathon

By Pat JonesGamma Kappa

An extra push can make thingshappen.

The brothers of Gamma KappaChapter here at Georgia SouthernCollege decided that with a lot ofhard work plus a little additionaleffort we could make our P.U.S.H.donation for 1981 one that wouldgo a long way towards helpingdisabled youngsters.

Last year we raised over $1000in our first annual 24-hour Basket-ball Marathon for Project P.U.S.H.,and even though most of thebrothers roundball skills did notdrastically improve since last year'sfund raiser, this year's donationwas a game winning swish-shotfrom half court at the final buzzer.

When GSC President Dale Lickblew the whistle to end this year'sgrueling marathon, we had raisedover $3000 from donations andcommunity contributions.

Pi Kapp brothers and pledgesraised the majority of the do-nations by soliciting pledges fromstudents, local citizens and cityorganizations for each hour of themarathon completed, but evenPi Kappa Phi is an island withoutthe helpful cooperation of manyothers.

Statesboro Mayor Thurman Lanierdeclared the week of the marathonas P.U.S.H. Week in Statesboroand also was on hand to toss upthe opening tip.

The GSC chapter of Alpha TauOmega provided us with stiffbasketball competition during thecontest and unselfishly helpedraise donations.

Several local merchants furnishedgift certificates to the top par-ticipants -- Delta Zeta and KappaSigma -- in the fund raiser andobligingly allowed us to placeP.U.S.H. collection cannistersin their establishments.

Brother Jim Edwards

James Burrows Edwards was swornin as Secretary of Energy onJanuary 23, 1981. He was nomi-nated by President Reagan onDecember 22, 1980, and con-firmed by the United States Senateon January 22, 1981.

During his administrationas Governor, Dr. Edwards createdthe South Carolina Energy Re-search Institute to study energyresource options. He served asChairman of the National Gover-nors' Association Subcommitteeon Nuclear Energy in 1978 and asChairman of the Southern Gover-nors' Conference in the sameyear.

In 1964 Dr. Edwards was electedChairman of the Charleston CountyRepublican Party, a post he helduntil 1969. He served as a memberof the South Carolina State Senatefrom 1972 to 1974.

A practicing oral and maxillofacialsurgeon in Charleston, Dr. Ed-wards received a B. S. degree fromthe College of Charleston in 1950and a D.M.D. degree from theUniversity of Louisville School ofDentistry in 1955. Dr. Edwardsis the recipient of five honorary

The Stroh's Beer Company alsocontributed $300 to P.U.S.H. bydonating a quarter for each beersold at the local Animal Housenight-spot during the week ofthe basketball marathon.

We consider this year's marathonas a successful project that willcontinue to grow and as a chal-lenge to Pi Kapp chapters every-where to develop their P.U.S.H.programs. We made it work andso can you. Brother Greg Sikes,originator of the basketball mara-thon, summed it up as an easy andguaranteed method of success,"Develop an original idea and getthe entire chapter involved; workhard at it; promote it; and makeit work."

It did for us.

The final score of the basketballmarathon? It seems the weary-eyed scorekeepers lost track of the1000-plus score sometime in thewee morning hours of the contest.Nobody seemed overly concerned.Basketball is only a game -- helpinghandicapped children is a commit-ment.For more stories and pictures on P.U.S.H.,see page 6.

EDITORIAL

It is appropriate that Pi Kappa Phiholds its Supreme Chapter in Phila-delphia at the conclusion of its76th year. While Philadelphia is thefounding place for our great nation,our great fraternity too has pros-pered over its period of existence.

This year your great fraternityinitiated more initiates than everbefore in its history. These 1,382new brothers add a whole newtradition to our fraternity. Inaddition we have had an out-standing year adding new chaptersat: Seton Hall, Greensboro, South-ern Tech, and USC-Spartanburg.Not to mention the fact that as Itravel throughout the country, Ifeel that the brotherhood in ourfraternity is as good as it has everbeen.

A few months ago I visited Rens-selaer Polytechnic Institute for thecelebration of their 50th Anniver-sary. Being my first visit to theCastle, what a visit it was. I had anopportunity to meet many out-standing brothers from that part ofthe country as well as a specialopportunity to meet and talk withthe number one initiate of AlphaTau Chapter, John Anthony Pear-tree. To hear what Pi Kappa Phimeans to him was a rare experienceindeed. I wished at that momentthat the entire fraternity wasassembled to hear his expression of

his gratitude and love for hisfraternity.

The night before I spent time withone of our newest chapters, SetonHall. This is a chapter that hasdreams and aspirations that mademe feel very proud of our greatfraternity. Without question I be-lieve that Seton Hall will fulfill allof their dreams and aspirations.

On the other side of the ledger, thisyear the National Council had tosuspend three charters: MethodistCollege, Northwestern State Uni-versity of Louisiana and Pembroke.This is where you and I as brothersof Pi Kappa Phi failed. We shouldhave done a better job.

We have issues facing us in our 77thyear - continued alcohol abuse, laststrands of hazing still surround us,some degree of apathy in a fewchapters. I would hope that duringour 77th year we would pledgecontinuing loyalty to the fraternity.

I look forward to meeting many ofyou in Philadelphia as well asduring the next year.

Excellent editorial. I have beenhoping for such recognition of theproblem. When I was affiliated withAlpha Delta prohibition was thelaw of the land. Our fraternity par-ties were truly dry yet we had lotsof fun. As to studies, pledges andfreshmen with below par gradeswere required to congregate forsupervised study in the dining room.When Pi Kappa Phi adopts a strongpolicy of sobriety and superior scho-lastic objective I shall be glad tohelp financially. Is this too muchto aim for and yet maintain astrong fraternity? If we dropped innumbers might we, nevertheless,gain in stature and attract manymen of leadership potential?

Sincerely,Theodore Scheffer

ATTENTION READERS

We apologize for the delay in thisissue of the STAR AND LAMP.Staff turnover contributed to aproduction problem.

Your Feb. 16 letter reviewing thegrowth and expansion of Pi KappaPhi in the fraternity world showsyou are a good Executive Directorworking at a hard job. You havetalked me out of $10.00.

I guess I am a maverick. I do notlike to be billed for voluntary duesthat I did not volunteer, especiallywhen I have given annually to PsiChapter in response to their direneeds. I like to feel I am a good PiKapp with cherished memories ofcollege life which started on a shoestring but never led to the pot ofgold. The demands of life in theoutside world of business teach theneed for caution-sometimes withcompromise much to my sorrow,especially in a sentimental situationinvolving our fraternity.

Your informative letter of 2/16/81 well illustrates the continuingeffort a good executive directormust have to increase the percentageof givers. I certainly wish you wellin this extra push!

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,Laurence E. Shedd

Timber Baron T.J. Starker:Made millions from land no one wanted

T. J. Starker, Oregon State

Mention to anyone who has livedin Corvallis for a while that a neigh-bor named T. J. Starker owns54,000 acres of timberland andyou're likely to get a startled re-action: "Is that all?"

Locals just naturally assume theirresident timber baron owns mostof Western Oregon. But while T. J.might not quite be able to claimthat, he does own a good chunk ofa particularly rich part of it, totalingabout eighty-five square miles inten counties. The Starker holdingsare approximately one-twelfth thesize of the Siuslaw National Forest,considered by the U. S. ForestService to be the nation's richesttimber-producing plantation, whereone timbered acre is valued atabout $2500. A section map ofthe Siuslaw is checkerboarded byparcels of Starker Forests.

Moreover, no part of his companyis owned by anybody not namedStarker; the partners are currentlyT. J., his daughter-in-law, and histwo grandsons. Asked when hebegan to work for Starker Forests,Bond Starker, currently headingoperations, hesitates, and finallyoffers, "The business is kind ofintermixed with the family."

Living legends aren't easy to findanymore. Thurman James Starker,the 90-year-old patriarch of StarkerForests, has been called "a FredMeyer of the timber." The com-parison is apt, although his croniesand community leaders believeT. J. means more to the woodsthan the venerable Meyer meantto Oregon business.

T. J. is a forest giant in Oregon, aman in love with trees, one of thelast of the tough, independentforesters who molded Oregon'stop industry during the depres-sion and war years and brought itto the threshold of modern tech-nology.

"In the early days, 50 years agoor so, forestry had a lot of verystrong, independent personalities,"says Carl H. Stoltenberg, deanof the Oregon State UniversitySchool of Forestry. "T. J. comesout of that era. He was in theright place at the right time."

T. J. Starker, the son of a farmer,was born July 14, 1890, in Gren-ola, Kansas. His family moved toPortland in 1907 -- his father

became a cement contractor --and T. J. graduated from PortlandHigh School, the city's only highschool at the time. His futurewife, Margaret, sat in front ofhim. Starker entered college in1908 and graduated in 1910, oneof the first four graduates of thefledgling forestry program at OregonAgricultural College (as OSU wasthen known). T. J. is an initiateof Alpha Zeta Chapter at OregonState University.

In 1922, T. J. joined the OSUfaculty under Dean George Peavy.He taught forest management for20 years, and is still called "prof"by his ex-students, many of whombecame prominent in the forestryworld. At one time, Starker likesto brag, half of the supervisorsof national forests in the North-west were former students of his."That's a measure of a professor'sworth," he says proudly.

It was during the Depression thatStarker began building his empireof "solidified sunshine," as hefondly calls his trees. Strangled bya "miniscule professor's salary,"T. J. began buying land - a littlehere, a little there -- but alwayswith a meticulously executed plan.Armed with a dog-eared map hecarried in a shirt pocket. Starkerbought up pieces of unwantedforest. He was choosy, never buyingland without walking it first,checking its soil and its smalltrees.

He bought land on cool, wetnorth slopes, mostly cut-overland ready to be reforested, andsome with timber so far from thenearest transportation that no onegave much thought to marketingit. He bought land passed overby others rushing to cash outOregon's timber. He bought landno one wanted; land cut overonce, twice, three times; landthat was inaccessible; land thatsold for pennies an acre to satisfytax foreclosures. As his cronieschuckled behind his back, T. J.bought everything he could gethis hands on - everything, that is,that he wanted.

"It wasn't easy on our salary,"he recalls. "I built and sold housesin the summers. I worked twojobs. I sold my horse and mycamera to feed my family, that'show I did it."

"Then I wanted neighbors whoweren't too handy with a match,"he says. "In those days, we hadlots of sheep ranchers who wereburning off the forests for moregrazing land. I didn't want any-thing to do with them."

Although he's a millionaire manytimes over, Starker dresses likeany forester setting out for a day'swork in the woods. His woolplaid shirts cling firmly to a solidchest. His speech, although notcoarse or boisterous, is not exactlywhat one might expect of a uni-versity professor.

THE PI KAPPA PHI FOUNDATION )

A historicalperspective ofPi Kappa Phi

Seventy-six years ago three men took the oath which founded Pi KappaPhi Fraternity, based on the belief that a Pi Kappa Phi exemplifies thehighest ideals of Christian manhood and is dedicated to the service of hisfellow man. Many men have since made that pledge, and today Pi Kappa_Phi continues to cultivate a sense of corporate and individual responsi-bility among its members.

America's conservative ideals stem from the desire to promote and main-tain freedom through individual acceptance of personal responsibility. PiKappa Phi nurtures this valued principle by creating a minature societywherein individuals can grow and mature into well-rounded, responsibleyoung men who experience the freedom of interaction with others in apositive atmosphere. Concurrently, this unleashing of individual leader-ship potential which might not otherwise be reached enables Pi Kappa Phito fulfill the ideals of our founding and to promote leadership and respon-sible citizens for our Nation's future.

The success of Pi Kappa Phi (106 chapters and colonies, 40,000 ini-tiates, and national recognition as one of the top fraternities) reflects thefact that we have continually fulfilled our mission. The reasons for oursuccess include involved alumni, a strong national organization, dedicatedleadership, and that intangible quality called "character."

Looking ahead to our next seventy-six years we recognize that much ofour future success will depend, as it has in the past, on involved alumni, astrong national organization, dedicated leadership, and character. How-ever, a pragmatic analysis of our future must take note of two factors:

(1) The size of the college student population has been shrinking, andwill continue to decline during this decade. Thus, the competition amongfraternities for top students will be intensified.

(2) Those fraternities with substantial endowment funds will continue tobe able to dramatically expand their service programs to undergraduates.Pi Kappa Phi's lack of financial resources has meant that our students arenot receiving the benefit of expanded programs. In future years, this mayaffect our student recruitment — as today's student is very interestedin how the fraternity will prepare him for his role in his career and in hiscommunity.

Consider, from a business standpoint, how much more "capital" otherfraternities have to work with in comparison to Pi Kappa Phi:

Sigma Chi $6,000,000Chi Psi 5,000,000Sigma Alpha Epsilon 5,000,000Kappa Sigma 4,500,000Theta Chi 3,000,000Theta Delta Chi 3,000,000Pi Kappa Phi 150,000

It's important to note that, despite our lack of capital, Pi Kappa Phiwas one of the top three fraternities of the 1970's in terms of expansion.Unfortunately, the better endowed fraternities were able to have signif-icantly more impact on their students through extensive programs ofleadership development, scholarship, business experiences, and careerdevelopment.

Play Units for the Severely Handicapped

From a state senate floor toan amateur boxing ring, chapterPUSH projects grow!

PUSH fund raisersSixty chapters have contributedover $37,000 to date for thefraternity's national philanthropy,Project P.U.S.H. (Play Units forthe Severely Handicapped). Thefollowing are details of the variousfund raisers chapters have spon-sored. Alpha Epsilon Chapter atthe University of Florida againleads all contributors with over$3,800 raised. Gamma Kappa Chap-ter at Georgia Southern is nextwith $2,500.

Delta UpsilonPUSH-A-THONThe Delta Upsilon Chapter atthe University of Pittsburgh madeover $1,500 this year for ProjectP.U.S.H. by pushing a wheelchairfrom Pittsburgh to Harrisburg.

The push which took three dayswas the climax of the campaignwhich also included road blocksand canning. The thirteen broth-ers and three little sisters whowent on the walk had a greattime even with the very unsea-sonably cold and wet weatherwhich accompanied them on theirjourney.

On arrival at the state capitol thewalkers were met by the firstlady of Pennsylvania, Mrs. RichardThornburgh, and a crew of news-paper and television reporters.Mrs. Thornburgh commended thefraternity's work on behalf ofher husband who was unable tobe present.

The project was not only a goodfund raiser for the great cause,but also brought the brotherstogether and made us a muchstronger and happier chapter.

Plans are already well on the wayfor another walk in September,which we are predicting will be amuch bigger success.

Delta Chi rose saleThe efforts of the Delta Chi Chap-ter at Kansas State University inProject P.U.S.H. resulted in acontribution that exceeded all ofthe combined totals of our do-nations since chartering. This wasaccomplished by sponsoring a Val-entine's Day Rose Sale whichnetted $500.

The project began when twobrothers made a 700 mile roundtrip journey to St. Louis, Mis-souri, where they picked up 500red long stem roses at a discount.Trying to keep all 500 of thoseroses cool during the trip provedto be a challenge. The two menwho made the trip were forcedto sacrifice the comfort providedby the car's heater on a coldFebruary day in favor of theroses.

While they were on their journey,the rest of the chapter was busysoliciting orders for the roses andexplaining what Project P.U.S.H.was about. The prices we offeredwhich included delivery under-cut those offered by local florists.For an additional dollar, we agreedto sing a love or humorous songto the recipient of the roses.

Gamma Xi's (Georgia Southwestern) firstannual Pi Kappa Phi P.U.S.H. for the Rosesraised $300. Zeta Tau Alpha sorority helped

raise the most money and is shown receivingthe winner's trophy.

Gamma Phi Chapter raised over $1000 with aBoxing Tournament for P.U.S.H.

The Castle, Alpha Tau's (Rensselaer Polytech) Chapter house was an ideal setting for a HalloweenHaunted House for Project P.U.S.H. One of the brothers awaits visitors during the event. AlphaTau raised $1,200 for P.U.S.H.

The Calypso research vessel, made famous through the popular Jacque Cousteau series.

Ray Russ, Epsilon Epsilon, asenior at Clinch Valley Collegerecently had the opportunity towork aboard the famed researchvessel Calypso while on Christ-mas break in Virginia Beach,Virginia. Russ, an environmentalscience major, learned of thetemporary position aboard theship while visiting the Cousteauheadquarters in Norfolk, Virginia.The ship was due to go for acomplete overhaul in order torepair damages incurred while onits last voyage to the Great Lakesregion. Along with repairs it willalso be modified for its nextresearch expedition -- its longestyet, which will take her to theCaribbean and eventually to SouthAmerica where Captain Cousteauand crew will attempt to journey upto the headwaters of the Amazonin order to determine man's impacton the river and the delicate eco-systems which surround it.

Russ's job consisted of keepinginventory and storing the delicatearray of scientific equipment aboardthe ship which consists of every-thing from a Hovercraft and Heli-copter to several one and two-mandiving submarines. While workingwith the ship's first mate, Russ

had the opportunity to meet theCalypso's more prominent mem-bers including Captain Cousteauand his wife, Cousteau's son Jean-Michelle, and many others whoform the nucleus of the explorationgroup.

A LOOK AT MEMBER "BURNOUT"41.. 1" -4111111■11-111#1itlittlik

By Perry W. Buffington, Ph.D.Gamma Kappa

Georgia Southern

He was described by his chapteras the "perfect" associate memberand brother. But he changed. Whilepledging, he had taken great careto assure others that all details werecompleted. This carried over intobrotherhood. After initiation, hefound time for academics, frater-nity, and other university activities.Now a year or so later, he's bur-dened with thoughts like: "What'sit all for?" "Why am I doing this?""Why can't others help?" and"Why do I have to do it all?"Finally, after these questions re-mained unanswered, in desperationhe declared, "They owe me!" Theend product equals apathy. He nowhas two choices: leave the brother-hood or count days until grad-uation.

He kept most of his worries inside,and few suspected a problem. Hehas now "burned out," and peoplecomplain because "He just isn'tthe same guy any more." Whatthey're selfishly saying is "He'snot helping the chapter." Withburnout, workload increases, evenwhen the fraternity roster increases.

There are other distinguishing symp-toms. Burnout, which affects (con-servatively) 10% of chapter mem-bers is physical, emotional, and at-

titudinal exhaustion. It is insiduous,creeping chronically. Burnout vic-tims rarely realize what's happeningto them. They only know continualexhaustion, frustration, edginess,and defensiveness. They are quickto judge and react to the slightestprovocation with anger.

Some researchers suspect a cycleof behavior is involved. To explain,as a result of thoughts of incom-petence, a person may overworkto "make up for" these perceivedinadequacies. The harder and fasterhe works, the less these worries"nag" him. As a result, he mustwork harder and harder and harder.Eventually, an ability to alienateothers emerges proving to thevictim, "I'm the only one whocan do things right." Finally, thecycle is broken by a "circuit over-load" which looks like withdrawaland apathy. The cause: Too muchunresolved stress over too short aperiod of time.

If any of this sounds like you, achapter brother, or business col-league, there are several procedureswhich can be used to break burn-out victims' "vicious cycle." Forinstance, the first step is to recog-nize the problem. Acknowledgethe situation squarely and refuse to

rely on overeating, drinking, over-sleeping, or drug useage as anescape. Take full responsibility forthe way you respond in a crisis.Learn to identify precipitatingstressors. But insight alone is notenough.

For specifics: (1) Don't be afraidto ask for help. Feel free to collectappreciation which is due you, anddon't be afraid to say, "No."(2) Create a "To Do List" and thenprioritize the items. Complete onetask at a time. When you attemptto solve too many problems atonce, all you do is "spin yourwheels." (3) Pay attention to yourhealth, diet, and sleep. Get upfifteen minutes earlier and avoida morning rush. Go to lunch withenthusiastic brothers and pledges.Refuse to discuss business duringmeals or breaks, and take fullmeal periods. Eat slowly. More-over, take "self-time" finding aquiet place where you can "turndown the brightness of the day."Meditation or relaxation exercisesmay be good breaks for you. Foryour health, exercise daily. (4) Planfor weekend get-aways. Staying inone place all the time tends topromote stagnation. Running awayfrom worries is certainly a problem;but running away with troubles ismuch, much worse. Take vacations,and leave problems on campus.

Burnout is not really an appro-priate description for this problem;rather burn-up is more accurate.Like a giant fire, the damageaffects not only the victim, butfriends, family, school work, andfraternity. See to it that the loadis shared and an appropriate levelof work is attempted and com-pleted. A project's successful com-pletion, followed by a mini-break,is the most effective treatment forburnout.

Success feeds personal and chapteresteem.
