Why are these young men not demonstrating, picketing, or burning theirdraft cards? They are average young Americans, and some would have youbelieve that, as average young Americans, this they should do. Instead,although from all areas of the United States, they are gathered togetherin the confines of their Fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, and are discussing in avery mature way "the college student and patriotism."

The next five issues of THE STAR AND LAMP willcontain a continuing dialogue—undergraduates dis-cussing various issues which concern them—and you!Make the scene, and be where the action is com-mencing on page twelve of this issue.

From The Chaplain's Desk

The following is a contribution from Dr. Marshall C.Dendy, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in theUnited States and a Pi Kappa Phi. We hope to haveother prominent Brothers share with you through thiscolumn from time to time.

A FRATERNITY CAN SERVE ...By DR. MARSHALL

JN 1921 the Pi Kappa Phi held its national conventionat the University of California at Berkeley. At thattime a majority of the Chapters were located in thesouth and southeast. Those of us who attended theBerkeley Convention from this area of the country rodeon a chartered Pullman car. The car was made up inAtlanta. We traveled by Chicago, Denver, Salt LakeCity, and across the Rockies to San Francisco. It wasa wonderful experience to have been with fraternitybrothers whom we had not seen previously but whohad a kindred spirit with us. Among those present wasBrother George Grant from the University of Alabama,If I remember correctly. He later became one of thenational officers of the fraternity.

On Christmas Day we were in Salt Lake City. Weattended the services of worship at the Mormon Taber-nacle. It was a wonderful experience to have been inthat great auditorium, to have heard the splendid musicby a great choir and to have listened to the messagesbrought to us at that time.

After the convention in Berkeley we went to LosAngeles and Hollywood for the Tournament of Rosesfootball game. The game was played between the Uni-versity of California and Washington and JeffersonCollege. California had a great football star by the nameof Brick Mueller. California was doped to win the game.The game resulted in a zero to zero tie. The most thrill-ing part about it was a long run for a touchdown, butthe run was called back because one player was offsides.As far back as 1921 the Tournament of Roses was aspectacular event.

We had a one-day stop at the Grand Canyon. It wasin the dead of winter. There was snow on the ground.We rode halfway down to the bottom of the Canyon,riding on mules shod with spikes to keep them fromslipping. Even then it was a hazardous experience, par-ticularly with one or two of the mules being quite friskyand at times kicking their feet over the side of the cliff.

As I remember the convention I think of the veryfine addresses and talks that were given to the Brotherswho were privileged to attend our national gathering.

LETTERS TO EDITORSirs:My compliments on the cover theme of the May issue

of The Star and Lamp. I will take particular pride inPassing this issue along to my Italian counterparts inthis NATO Headquarters who are studying English.It will provide a pictorial as well as verbal examplethat some American university students work construe-trvely by discussing problems and formulating plans ofaction (District VIII Conclave at Illinois).As my career precludes participation in an Alumni

Chapter, The Star and Lamp is my sole contact withthe Fraternity, and I am pleased to see the growth of

Kappa Phi as evidenced within the pages of thislaagazine.

Fraternally,CAPT. DAVID C. WILSON,U. S. Army

Dear Pi Kapps,Thank you for the honor of being your National Rose

Queen. Like all of the queens before me, I never dreamedit would happen to me.When I came to college, I was coming to study, and,

of course, to have a good time. I dated different people,but mostly Pi Kapps. I came to know all of them verysoon, and I learned to have a high respect for them andfor their fraternity.I am now pinned to a brother of Pi Kappa Phi, and

I have come a lot closer to their chapter. This pastApril at their annual Rose Ball, I was crowned RoseQueen of Beta Tau Chapter. That was an important be-inning to a wonderful experience—being chosen Na-

tional Rose Queen.I have an interesting and exciting year ahead of me

Working with and for Pi Kappa Phi. I hope to attendas many of the activities as possible and to get to knowas many of you as I can. Whenever I can be of helpto any of you, please let me know.

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,CAROL McKINLEY

THEORETICAL vs PRACTICALBROTHERHOODA Proposal For Professional and

Business Direction Through Pi Kappa Phi

By E. BARRY CRIM, Lambda '28

THEORETICAL brotherhood creates a myth-1 ical relationship between men which resultsin no constructive growth or progress for thoseinvolved. For this reason, it is likely that futurehistorians will pinpoint this type of mythicalrelationship as being one main cause for someof the frustrating problems in our society today.Theoretical brotherhood is a facade or a "front"for those who wish to escape their responsibili-ties to those whom they've taken vows to help.This type of relationship was completely un-known and would have been repulsive to ourPilgrim Fathers who founded our nation. Theygave unstintingly of their time and personalefforts to help their deserving brothers whowere living in fear and poverty to harvest theircrops, build homes, and to upgrade their cul-tural life in general.

It was these efforts that cemented the "com-mon tie" of brotherhood and self-preservationin the hearts of those pilgrims who were thenlaying the foundation for our nation's growthand progress. It is this type of brotherhoodthat is vitally needed today in all Americancollege fraternities. And should Pi Kappa Phicreate a broader and more meaningful programof practical brotherhood for both its alumni andundergraduates, its own growth and humanrewards will be assured. In addition, it willhave laid the cornerstone upon which otherAmerican fraternities can add to their strengthand justification for existence, thereby repuls-ing the present attack on our entire college fra-ternity system.

Maybe here are some facts our alumni mightwish to consider.

Twice A Freshman

All college alumni were twice a freshman andusually were in great need of practical

brother-

hood in the form of guidance and counsell.ngduring both of those vital periods of their life.

First, such assistance was needed when thyentered college, and it was given them by ec);lege counselors and, often later, by membersthe fraternity to which they were pledgee;Second, such assistance was greatly need°when they graduated or left college and Wereabout to enter a business or profession.

You, as an alumnus, no doubt received noun-seling and guidance when you were a freshniel'from your college counselors and also fre'eyour Pi Kapp brothers. But, when you Werabout to graduate and were ready to enter atbusiness or profession, was there any comPotenand trusted group to whom you could go for Indindoctrination and orientation into the Ayer eof commerce and industry, which you W.erkabout to enter as a freshman? Do you now thinssuch advice and assistance could have been 01benefit to you?

This practical guidance and assistance Wil2not available to many of you, who are ner„alumni; and it certainly is not available to TOT°of our younger brothers who now are readYenter their chosen careers.

Here is an area of great need in which 011,1;Pi Kapp alumni chapters could conduct sell',nars designed to indoctrinate and orient 0.11eyounger brothers into this new phase of 114they're about to enter. Such seminars couldof everlasting value to many who are about4

graduate, and they could also become a nieJ°

el:1 taken by Pi Kappa Phi toward the con-inious rewards resulting from practicalorotherhood.

, To see the need for such seminars, one must;)egin with the fact that about 30% of all col-lege alumni, after graduation, "flounder" for a

period of several years, going from job to job,,1)..'ing to find a rewarding career. This is cer-Lamly no adverse reflection on their intelligencer ability. Rather, this condition quite often re-°efts the highly complex conditions now prev-alent in our system of commerce and industry,which space here will not permit me to discuss.

Subjects such as those below, if properly de-veloped and projected in our alumni seminars,1:11ild be of invaluable assistance to our Pi Kapp°rothers who, soon, will be taking their first

freer "plunge" into that sometimes unpre-etable sea known as commerce and industry:

—Self-discipline and constructive success inlife

--Education for a business or profession is aprocess, not a destination

--Developing ideas for professional or busi-ness success

--How to get the job you want

—How to keep moving up on your job or inyour profession

—Will you be crying or trying for advance-ment?

In addition to the advantages of such semi-14 1tra previously mentioned, they would cer-'ainly strengthen the ties between our under-graduate and alumni chapters.

Now, Our Displaced Older Brothers, Unless one has made a study of this question,ge would never realize the vast number of per-4)rinel that is displaced each year by companyMergers, automation, changes in management,ecwporate liquidation, company politics, etc. The41nual displacements from these and othersinlilar causes, that are beyond the control ofWorkers at, or near, middle-management in cor-!iorations, amount to about 25% of all personnel4t these levels. Naturally, under such conditions,

ttllany Pi Kapps are caught up in these frus-rating swirls, too. So, are we as their brothers

to try to help them relocate and move1,1P the ladder . . . thereby demonstrating ourl'elief in practical brotherhood . . . or, perhapsuecause of their present lack of affluence, areO going to forget them under the sham of

1neoretical brotherhood?

Here again, seminars combined with per-chrial counseling from qualified members of our

1 41u1flni chapters could bring renewed hope and

11"v jobs to many of our displaced brothers.

1:10m/ever, it would be a serious ERROR to pub-leize these seminars as being conducted for

ILN OVEmBER, 1 9 6 7

those out of jobs or who are floundering; fewwho needed help would attend them under suchcircumstances. They should be truthfully pub-licized as a Pi Kappa Phi program of CareerMotivation, and the subject matter of suchseminars should be developed and projected soas to be of interest to our brothers at all levelsof economic success.

Not only should Pi Kapps be invited to at-tend such seminars, but a public invitationshould be made to their families, friends, andco-workers. The subject matter for discussionat these seminars could be quite similar tothose subjects previously mentioned for ouryounger brothers just graduating. In both in-stances, the goals and the problems are oftenabout the same.

In addition to Pi Kappa Phi achieving itsprime mission of practical brotherhood fromsuch seminars; of secondary importance, it islikely that the news media of any communitywould justifiably praise Pi Kappa Phi for itsmature vision and for its greatly needed prac-tical concept of the brotherhood of man. Suchpublic relations would add prestige combinedwith a positive purpose to the life of any alum-ni chapter, and also it would cause many col-lege freshmen to want to become a Pi Kapp.

Christ believed in practical brotherhood; Hefed the masses. Our Pilgrim Fathers believedin practical brotherhood; united, and with com-passionate efforts they helped each other, there-by founding our nation. Our forebears be-lieved in practical brotherhood; we can all re-member our parents demonstrating this factmany times in their lives. Now, the question:Do we as Pi Kapps today believe in this humaneprecept? Or, will we compromise our integrityand accept the facade of theoretical brother-hood?

It was a rewarding session for all who at-tended. You can get some idea of how thingswent from the candid pictures on these pages.Subjects reviewed and discussed included lead-ership, chapter operations, rush, scholarship,alumni relations, finance, public relations, anda remarkable talk on ritual emphasis. All told,there were 233 delegates at Pi Kapp College, in-cluding 22 graduate members—from as far andWide as Washington, Michigan, and Texas—who participated as instructors and panel mem-bers. It was a great session of a great frater-nity. That's why those guys on the cover are

THE GREAT RACE

An all-girl crew against the river.

A wild, hairy idea dreamed up by three Gamma ZetaPi Kappa in a 1:30 a.m. bull session two years ago,

has turned into what could become a national event—with any more 1:30 a.m. sessions.

The idea—originally created to promote a dance—spawned what is now known as the annual Oil DrumRegatta at West Virginia Tech in Montgomery, WestVirginia. Now going into its third year, after the suc-cessful second annual Oil Drum Regatta last April, theevent is sponsored by Pi Kappa Phi's Gamma Zetachapter.

This year's regatta drew 60 rafts and more than5,000 spectators, and a lot of good spirited publicityfor the Pi Kappa.

The event has the endorsement of the Tech admin-istration, civic groups in Montgomery, and the Techstudent body. It has been opened already to college andnon-college groups anywhere in the country. And the

second annual regatta attracted publicity from as ft.away as Florida and Wisconsin, and raft teams fr°'several other colleges.

Said Regatta Chairman Larry Losch when he an-nounced this year's race would be open to other c°!"lege crews: "The Lambda Chi group from Marshall ls.really going all out. They are going to have a helicoptel

equipped with walkie talkies to coach their raft!"

The race features a LeMans start at the falls on t,herKanawaha River at Glen Ferris and a finish line nacie,,,the Montgomery bridge nine miles downstream. Thel;are rapids and white water near the starting linehalf a mile, and other hazards include shallows, a 11%row channel in spots, and bridge piers. It's a we 'wild, woolly, screaming great time.

Mary Jane Higgins, a crew member of the "Aan.ie_Marie," last spring provided her own view of the legatta.

Moments before the start.

They're off!

, "Our raft was a sorority raft and had to have atleast 4 girls on it. We were building it in my backYard, and all the fathers on the block felt sorry fores girls.

"They were all afraid that the raft would be tooflinlBY and that we'd all get dunked. So, they'd comeLOver at various times while we were building it. Eachulan added boards and braces to make the raft sturdy.

L "By the time they finished helping us, we had theeeaviest, clumsiest, most unmaneuverable raft you'veever seen!

, "We were in the first heat. It took us so long tolaunch the raft that the second heat left before we did.

"And once we were in the river we got caught in aWhirlpool and went round and round for ages!

Marshall University crew pushes on.

"When we finally got to Boomer, one of the two boyswho was requested to be on our raft said, 'I can't takethis anymore. Let me off here.' It took us an hour toget to the shore to let him off!

"We had 2 canoe paddles, but our raft was so highand so well built we couldn't reach the water with thepaddles unless we practically fell in. So we were at themercy of the current.

"Poor Mother and Dad. They were all excited andwere waiting to take our pictures. We had painted the'Annie Marie' a bright turquoise. They finally saw us,but we never could get far enough downstream for themto take the pictures. We had to be towed in.

"It took us 6 hours to go 9 miles. Boy, did we gethungry! We had 3 peanut butter sandwiches and 3candy bars on board for 6 people!"

Alas, the "Annie Marie," with an average of 1.5 mphwon last place.

PATRIOTISMA Continuing Undergraduate Dialogue

Or Young Pi Kappa Phi's Speak Out

In but a few years the majority of Americanswill be under the age of twenty-five—a nationof young people. Yet, even today too many saythey do not understand the current generationof youth. How can you understand them whenyou haven't spoken with one—when one com-municates, one understands.

For the next issues of The Star and Lampwe will "listen" to undergraduates as they andan alumnus have a bull session. Various sub-jects will be discussed — RELEVANCY, PA-TRIOTISM, PARENTS, RELIGION — amongothers. For a start let's see what they haveto say about PATRIOTISM. They come to-gether from the West Coast—from the EastCoast—from the North and South. They arerepresentative of young Pi Kapps. Listen tothem — think along with them — understandthem—you cannot afford not to, for this iswhere the action is!

12 THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA PHI

• Participants: William Willis—Western Caro-lina; Russ Palmer—East Tennessee; Mike Ang-lin—East Texas; William Couper—Virginia;Jeff Hires—Valdosta; Paul Regensdorf—Flori-da State; Scott Evenbeck—Indiana ; RobertChandler — Samford; Jack Kaplan —Wofford ;Benny Mitcham (alumnus)—Georgia.

The scene: living room of a Pi Kappa PhiChapter House—it could be any chapter, at anyschool, at any state.

The statement is made—"Flag waving ispasse! Patriotism is not an area of concernfor college students."

CHANDLER—The topic may be overworkedbut the subject should be of great concern. Agreat majority of college students fear theCommunist countries but have been warned oftheir danger so much that their senses havebeen dulled. This dulling effect has caused alack of inspiration and interest in patriotism.

KAPLAN—I feel that this is most definitelyan overworked topic but it is an area of con-cern. Flag waving to the extent of "my countryright or wrong" may be passe but the collegestudents as a group can still feel deeply whenthe National Anthem is played.

HIRES—In any group of people there will bethose who feel strongly emotional about suchthings as patriotism. In reality most youngPeople value their lives more than abstractemotional qualities such as this.

WILLIS—Adults used to be proud of theflag, and houses and business establishmentswould display a flag on the Fourth of July. Thissummer for curiosity I drove all over my town,and if I remember correctly there were onlythree houses in town displaying a flag. If I wereto adopt the attitude of my townspeople IWould not be very patriotic.

PALMER—I don't care if a student thinkshe is being patriotic when he burns his draftcard, or flag. To me he just proves he is a freakOf society. However, he is no more a freak thanthe student who has to toast "God, Mother, and

Country" every time he lifts his beer.

REGENSDORF—Yes, but the real patriot-ism is prevalent within the vast middle groupYou speak of. You are in that group, and you

take a reasoned look at current events and forman opinion on each facet individually. Patriot-ism is seldom either constant agreement or dis-

agreement but rather a give and take. I think

that you and I belong to this third type of per-

1:)n who still shows what might be called "class-

1c" patriotism.

NOVEMBER, 1967

Then the statement is made—"I don'tthink patriotism and the college studentare relevant, one to the other."

MITCHAM — They are relevant — studentsshould express themselves.

EVENBECK — I agree, for the student isonly a few years away from the position ofleadership in his country. His patriotism orlack of it now is going to greatly affect hiscountry in the future years.

ANGLIN—If you don't think they are rele-vant, look at what has happened in other areasof the world. I would guess that the vast ma-jority of the Latin American countries' revo-lutions that we have seen since 1900 have beeninspired and planned to a large extent withinthe college and university community.

PALMER—I agree, but in a different way.Speaking as a veteran, it makes me shudder tothink of what our military would face if mostof the college students had a "I don't give a- - - - attitude." The vast majority of your mili-tary officers are former college students.

CHANDLER—I think we all agree that theyare relevant, and how could we assume anyother position after viewing the draft cardburners, anti - Vietnam demonstrators, andother similar activities on practically allcampuses. I would definitely say that patriotismand our college youth have a great deal ofrelevancy, one to the other.

13

"Is it a matter of concern that the collegestudent is of an age where he questionseverything and only accepts answersgrounded in reality?"—gets into the dis-cussion.

REGENSDORF—It is true that we lean onreality, but what is so unreal about patriotism?I do believe that a patriotism in which every-thing was taken for granted, with no doubt orinquiry, would really be hurting.

KAPLAN—Yes, I think the college studentdemands proof.

HIRES—What more proof, or reality, do youneed than the draft?

MITCHAM—I think that all of us go throughor have gone through this show me stage inlife. Personally, this does not concern me toomuch because most individuals do grow outof it.

PALMER — Life consists of questioningreality, student or not a student. At this mo-ment he can express his questioning attitudeby simply asking "In reality, are we fighting awar in Vietnam, or, is this just a police ac-tion?"

EVENBECK—How can the student be a truepatriot if he does not have the right to questionsuch as Palmer has indicated?

ANGLIN—This is only partially true, for Idon't think that I can accept that the averagecollege student bases all of his resolutions onreality. I think the spirit to search for truth isand always will be there, but it isn't infallible.This search develops patterns of thought, andthese patterns will formulate his lifetime loyal-ty, or lack of same, to this nation.

CHANDLER—I'm not so sure that studentshave to find answers based on reality. Most ofus want to find our own answers, and blind un-thinking loyalty to anything is highly detri-mental. Patriotism is something that each per-son should examine for himself, then stand upfor the conclusions he reaches.

The question is asked—"But aren't wedramatically illustrated by the derogatoryactions of a few who give a bad name tothe rest of us?"

WILLIS—Everywhere the average citizenturns he sees where these few are doing thesethings, and it is only natural for them to assumethat all college students are of this thought.The news media really eats this stuff up.

CHANDLER—Freedom is a big word inAmerica today, and a great number of studentsfeel they must express their freedom openlyregardless of the cause they support or howevermenacing it may be.

14

COUPER—Of course these derogatory ac-tions call attention to the subject, but they arenewsworthy only because they are so bizarre.

"Has our generation changed radicalliifrom prior generations?"—is asked.

REGENSDORF — What hasn't changed inthe past fifty years, from morals to war?

MITCHAM—I don't really think so, thereare just a lot more young people to do things,and communication media can carry the mes-sage to so many more in a lesser time than be-fore.

REGENSDORF—I agree that the increasedand improved communications has had ltseffect, for more people now know more thanever before, and now have greater choice be-tween acceptance or rejection based upon theknowledge available to them.

HIRES—Which generations are you refer-ring to? If you are facing the necessity of per-sonally defending your country then your con-cern about patriotism would be greater thanfor the individual in that generation whichfaced only peace.

PALMER—I don't think our generationchanged, for patriotism is here with us as. inpast generations, but the mass communication

media has changed us falsely. Reporters wouldrather disregard college patriotism, when theYcan expound a hell-raising subversive ramble

which is much more entertaining to thosewatching the "tube."

KAPLAN—If there has been a change it isin the fact that today's youth has more knowl-edge available than past generations.

THE STAR AND LAMP OF PI KAPPA Pill

WILLIS—The population as a whole doesnot appear to be as patriotic as past genera-tions, therefore, I think the college studentstoday, when compared to the general public,are just as patriotic as any other generation.

COUPER—I have discussed this at home,and my father says that when he was in schoolthe same mood of apprehension prevailed.

EVENBECK—Students in the 30's said thatthey would never wear a uniform — yet, theydid!

The question is asked—"How does pa-triotism affect the fraternity's sphere ofinfluence?"

WILLIS—I don't think they conflict, for thefraternity should use every bit of its influenceto make men sincere flag wavers.

ANGLIN—I don't think there could possiblybe any real conflict between the fraternity'sSphere of influence and American patriotism.

EVENBECK—I strongly disagree with anyimplication that there is a conflict between thefraternity's sphere of influence and patriotism.Fraternities are a stronghold against thoseelements that seek to tear down the govern-ment, instead of suggesting possible positive,alternative action. Fraternities could be among

Palmer

the first in our nation to help end much of thestrife sweeping the country.

REGENSDORF—I think the changes occur-ring in Pi Kappa Phi are a sign of our intentto improve and increase our sphere of influence.A fraternity with its exchange of ideas, itsfounding principles, and with its vast body ofconcerned young men is a place where the newpatriotism can and must exist.

You have now heard them, and hopefully bet-ter understand them. You can execute your ownsummarization, however, we can rest assuredthat what they have said will speak for the vastmajority of college students. Perhaps theirstatements will never appear in the newspaper,nor their faces on the television screen. Yet, weShould listen to them.

MEN OF RELIGION

LOOK at the background of a PiKapp and you will likely find that

he is active in the church life of hiscommunity. In its ranks the Frater-nity numbers not only thousands ofprominent church laymen, but a goodnumber of religious leaders. Pi KappaPhi's National Chaplain, J. BentonWhite, has gathered these short bi-ographies of four brother Pi Kappswho are especially prominent through-out the church world for their leader-ship and achievements.

Two of these ministers were very

recently in the news nationally. TheRev. William Moultrie Moore, A/Paa,was elected suffragan bishop of

the

North Carolina diocese of the Episo°-pal Church, and the Rev. Marshall C.Dendy, Beta, was elected moderator of

the 107th Presbyterian, U. S. General

Assembly.

The Rev. Paul E. Scherer, A/pholvisiting professor of homiletics alPrinceton Theological Seminary, e.the Rev. Paul Abernathy Crow, Jr"Omicron, professor of church history

at Lexington Theological SeminarY,are equally well known and respecte

d

for their religious work. Paul Scherer,has earned the often cited title oiAmerica's Greatest Preacher. An°Paul Crow, who is presently com-pleting study and research at Molls-field College, Oxford, in England, ona sabbatical from Lexington Theo-logical Seminary, is a prime mover inthe ecumenical movement.

Here then are brief introductions

to these outstanding Pi Kappa.

TRAIL OF TRADITION

THE BEGINNING OF OMEGA CHAPTER

AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY

By JOHN LOVELL, Omega '64

THE roots of Omega Chapterof Pi Kappa Phi were planted

in December 1920 when a Biblestudy group of the local Chris-tian Church formed a fraternityat Purdue University. Theycalled it Alpha Gamma Beta, theGreek initials A.C.B. meaningA Christian Brotherhood.

R. G. Tilton, E. B. McCormick,W. B. Harper, and later Rev. M.Knight, the Bible study leader,were the charter members ofAlpha Gamma Beta. By Septem-ber 1921 they had received rec-ognition from the Purdue facultyand had moved into a house onSixth Street in Lafayette, Indi-ana, over a mile from the cam-pus.

In January 1922, Wade Bolt ofPi Kappa Phi Fraternity visitedthe brothers of Alpha GammaBeta to tell them of Pi KappaPhi. He made a dynamic impacton every brother of the local, andby April 1922, Alpha GammaBeta petitioned Pi Kappa Phifor membership. The petitionthat had been guided by WadeBolt was approved.

On November 24, 1922 thegroup that now consisted of 20undergraduates and 13 gradu-ate members, was installed asOmega Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.Alpha Gamma Beta passed intohistory; the hallowed traditionsand ideals of Pi Kappa Phi hav-ing become the new focus for thebrotherhood of Purdue men.

The installation of OmegaChapter was a great moment forthe Pi Kappa Phi. Supreme Sec-retary George H. Grant, Omi-

cron, was installing officer. Hewas assisted by Supreme AlumniSecretary George D. Driver, Nu;Wade Bolt, Sigma, a member ofthe Supreme Advisory Board;and an initiating team from Up-silon Chapter at the Universityof Illinois.

Initiated as charter memberson that November day were:

William R. Amick, Hobart W.Behr, John W. Cade, Noah N.Cline, James R. Darby, John F.Eberts, John R. Edwards, Dan-iel L. Edlund, Leonard T. Evans,Ira V. Folks, Edgar L. Gloss-brenner, Reuel W. Guthrie, Fred-erick E. Harrell, Ernest R. Hend-rickson, Milfred W. House, Rob-ert Knight, Lawrence P. Lang,Charles R. Lowe, Roy Magruder,Erwin K. Moore, Wendell P. Mor-ton, Ora B. Remster, Howard J.Renner, Earl H. Shimp, Paul H.Stanley, Karl E. Stoll, Russell

G. M. Tilton, Robert E. Worstell,Richard B. Holmes, Melvin G.Honeck, Guy B. Huber, D.Kitchel, George W. Munro, Ito"ert Phillips, John M. Smith, IraH. Swaim.

An installation banquet anddance were held at the Fowler-Van Orman Hotel. Brother F. B•Harrell was toastmaster at thebanquet and called for toasts

from Professor Munroe of Fur"due, Brother Grant, Upsilon

Archon Nemoyer, and Omega,Archon House. The closing toastfrom R. Stanley Coulter, deanof men at Purdue (where two

buildings now bear his narne),was a tribute to fraternities andthe fraternity way of life.

With its new name in 1922,Omega chapter also gained a,new house. The chapter move°,to a house just a block and a hallfrom the campus, much to tilejoy of winter weary studentswho had hiked to class each daYfrom the original house. In 1929the chapter moved to its present

location at 330 N. Grant Street,where it has remained with theexception of the war years, wil,e9„it shared living space with ti'

Sig Eps while the Pi Kapp hongserved as the home of a MarineROTC detachment.

Such was the beginning of an-

other step forward in Pi KaPP9Phi's Trail of Tradition; the cre-ation of a great chapter—Omegaof Purdue University.

NOVEMBER, 1967

1'1 HE Secretary of the Interior has± recently approved and promulgateda list of names for geographic featuresin Antarctica. These names were sub-mitted to the Secretary by the UnitedStates Board on Geographic Names,an interdepartmental group that stud-ies names of geographic features on aworldwide basis and submits its con-clusions to the Secretary. The Boardacted on the recommendation of theAdvisory Committee on AntarcticNames composed of experts in Antarc-tic history, geography, and science.Once a name has been approved, itsuse becomes binding on all govern-mental agencies.Names in Antarctica are of diverse

origins. Some are descriptive, such asCathedral Peaks; others are commem-orative, as, for example, DepartureRocks. Ships that have participated insupply missions or exploration areanother source. Many are named afterindividuals who have taken part in oneor another of the United States pro-grams related to the area.

Typical of such names is AnthonyBluff, a distinctive rock outcrop alongthe side of Mulock Glacier, one of Ant-arctica's great ice streams. Located at79°06' South latitude, 160005 Eastlongitude, about 600 miles from theSouth Pole, Anthony Bluff was named

for Maj. Alexander E. Anthony, Jr.,Tau, United States Air Force.Maj. Anthony was connected with

the Antarctic program from 1962thru 1966, first on the staff of theUnited States Antarctic Projects Offi-cer, and then with the staff of theCommander, United States NavalSupport Force Antarctica. He visitedAntarctica in 1963, and is recorded asbeing the eleventh Air Force personever to visit the South Pole.A 1956 graduate of North Carolina

State, where he was initiated into PiKappa Phi's Tau Chapter, Alex en-tered active duty in June 1956 and,prior to his assignment in Washing-ton, D. C., with the Antarctic program,was assigned to the Air Force SpecialWeapons Center, Kirtland AFB, Al-buquerque, New Mexico, for five years.In January 1967, he was transferred

to the 731st Radar Squadron, Sun-dance AFS, Wyoming, the site of theAir Force's only power-producingnuclear reactor, which produces allthe power needed to supply heat andelectricity for the radar site. He isthe Nuclear Safety Officer of the site.

Daryl A. Pleggenkuhle, the409th initiate of Alpha Omicron.

Daryl's brother, Ronald R. Pleg-genkuhle, is the 440th initiate

and current undergraduate

member of Alpha Omicron.

Now Susan is being instructed

well before her marriage t°Daryl that a legacy is expected.

This would give the Pi KapP-t°-be a dad, two uncles, a grand:father, and a great uncle in PIKappa Phi. Where could you findgreater devotion than this?

On December 10, 1904 seven young students at the College of Charleston ttermined that their mutual affection and concern could better be served bYcreation of a Fraternity. They met that evening in the parlor of the Foga home, 90 Broad Street, Charleston, S. C. As they deliberated their future the):

ligiously to seek out our Prel?"lems and pave the way to their

solution. He devoted precious

time away from his family and,studies to insure the success 01everything he has strived to at-tain for Lambda Chapter.

Tom has been instrumental inthe rise of our greatest goal! 3new house. In lieu of bonggrossly understated, it can besaid that he has worked as hard,if not harder, than any brotherin the chapter. Tom has done re-

search work in the library otl-cerning Lambda Housing; he has

written, called, and spoken to the

WINSTON PETTY, Salem teacher" of guitar, has sold an article onwheelchair camping to Better Camp-ing, a bi-monthly magazine with na-tionwide circulation."Let's All Go, Legs or No—Camp-

ing, That Is" tells of one of eight or10 trips into western wild country hetook last summer with his wheelchairand his small black dog, Tarbaby.

Petty, whose legs were amputatedin the autumn of 1963 because of cir-culatory failure, went back to driving

a car in January, 1964, and claimsthere are some advantages. Longdrives are less tiresome than they werein days when both he and his car weredifferently equipped, he maintains.One trip home from a camping triplast summer, 800 miles long, made ina single day of daylight driving, didnot weary him, he recalls, adding "Ienjoyed every turn in the road."Camping for a man who travels on

wheels involves some special gear,Petty says, but most important to himis Tarbaby, who has only one eye butconsiderable affection. "I'm her seeingeve people; she's my walking legsdog," he says.

Writing and camping are only twoof Petty's hobbies. Currently he isdeep in a gardening project at hisrecently-purchased home, 370 MyersSt. S., on the lower reaches of Fair-mount Hill, where he is endeavoring toplot and plant for perpetual bloom.

YOUR LEADERSHIP AT WORKA Brief Outline of Recent National Council Activity

The National Council of Pi Kappa Phi met inCharlotte, N. C., over the weekend of October7-8, 1967. Meeting at the same time were thead hoc Structure Review Committee and theofficers of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc.The Structural Review Committee was

created by the 31st Supreme Chapter to studythe leadership structure of the Fraternity, todetermine changes needed in order to aid theleadership in becoming more responsive to themembership. This body completed its delibera-tions and presented its report to the NationalCouncil. The Council approved their results andthis will be presented to the next SupremeChapter for its consideration.Much work, primarily of a routine nature,

was done in needed areas. However, far reach-ing areas of concern were given the greateramount of time and attention. For the mostpart, only conclusions will be briefed here:Expansion—It was resolved that Pi Kappa

Phi should take advantage of the current ex-pansion climate and make every effort consis-tent with our resources and sound chapters toexpand to other schools. This will require thatDistrict Presidents and Chapter Advisors bemore active with our present chapters. The Ex-ecutive Secretary was provided with limitedfunds from general funds to execute this pro-gram.

National Project—It was agreed that fromone to three "National Projects" would be sub-mitted to the Supreme Chapter for selectionand activation.

Publications, Leadership Training, Scholar-ship, Ritual Emphasis, and Alumni-Undergrad-uate Dialogue—After some exploration of eachof these areas it was agreed that deep study:wasneeded to provide resultful recommendations.The President was then directed to appoint aSelect Committee of 6 to 9 highly capable Peo-ple from among our alumni to study these prob-lems and make recommendations. It is hopedthat a preliminary report will be available forthe Supreme Chapter.

Efforts to Dictate to Undergraduate Chapters—In view of the hard stand taken unanimousby the undergraduate chapters, it was resolvedto resist to the limit the demands of some uni-versities for changes, such demands for changesbeing in the form of undemocratic edicts, and inviolation of individual rights and principles.Specific strategy for each school currently in-volved was developed. Elsewhere in this issuethere is more information on the subject.

Pi Kappa Phi Properties Board—For the firsttime, the entire board membership of P/CPProperties met. Substantial progress was madein providing basic and detailed policies. T'basic philosophy of increasing the corporation eassets as rapidly as possible, and of providingsupport, within reason, for building or remodel'ing chapter houses was established.

All-in-all, this was an exhausting but result

packed weekend. Your National Council andcommittees are working for you.

IS A PRINCIPLE INVOLVED?Pi Kappa Phi Undergraduate Chapters Think So

delegates, both undergraduate and alumni,at Pi Kapp College, 1967, That, the actionof the administration of any University inattempting to restrict the powers of achapter of this Fraternity to apply anycriteria in its selection of members is un-warranted, unnecessary, and unconstitu-tional. That, upon any action by said uni-versity to punish this chapter for failureto obey these restrictions, it is the senseof the delegates that the National Councilshould take all necessary steps, both ad-ministrative and legal, to protect thischapter's, and the fraternity's, right ofassociation."The undergraduate chapter at Cornell Uni-

versity, one of the affected institutions, has thisfall unanimously approved the following reso-lution:

"WHEREAS, Psi Chapter of The PiKappa Phi Fraternity, located at CornellUniversity, desires to maintain its affilia-tion with our National Fraternity.WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of

Cornell University has enacted legislationpotentially detrimental to the existence ofPsi Chapter at said institution.WHEREAS, Psi Chapter, due to its

turnover of personnel, cannot efficiently car-ry out a program to alter such legislation,RESOLVED, Psi Chapter of The Pi

Kappa Phi Fraternity formally requeststhat the National Council of The Pi KappaPhi Fraternity assist Psi Chapter with allnecessary steps, both administrative andlegal, to protect and insure this chapter'sand this fraternity's right of existence.

This motion was duly presented at aregular chapter meeting on the eleventhday of September, 1967, and received theunanimous approval of Psi Chapter of thePi Kappa Phi Fraternity."Shortly after Psi Chapter approved its reso-

lution, the alumni housing corporation of thatchapter, with approximately thirty alumnimembers present met. After hearing the situ-ation and reviewing the chapter resolution, thePsi Chapter alumni corporation unanimouslyapproved the resolution and offered its assist-ance, to include financial support, to the Na-tional Council.At this time the National Chancellor of Pi

Kappa Phi is studying the legal ramificationsand constitutional involvement. Prior to thenext National Council meeting, his report andaction taken will be reviewed by the NationalCouncil, and then a future course of action willbe determined. The National Council intendsto support the request of this chapter, andothers requesting assistance, to the fullest ex-tent possible.

When it wasasked of fraterni-ties that they putaway childishthings it was

right and just. Itwas wise for frater-

nities to respond in apositive way. In fact,

fraternities have alwaysresponded positively toproper demands made of

them by society.What demands are proper?

That which may constitute a• proper or just demand to one, may be a

violent infringement of the rights and princi-Nes of another. Pi Kappa Phi has adjustedmany phases of its activities when requested todo so by university authorities. Yet again thedemands continue. Three major universitiesWhere Pi Kappa Phi has chapters have in-structed our chapters that they cannot exist ontheir campus unless the chapter changes its4tethods of accepting members to meet the de-Sires of the school.Does a fraternal organization, through a

democratic process, have a right to openly dis-Nss and arrive at its own policy for determin-log procedures to be followed in granting mem-bership to the brotherhood? Do the undergradu-ate chapters have a right to select, through thedemocratic process at the Supreme Chapter,their methods or procedures to follow in theVeration of the undergraduate chapter as partof a larger body?The National Council of Pi Kappa Phi sought

the opinions of the undergraduate members ofthe Fraternity at the recent leadership school,P1 Kapp College. There the fifty-six chapters!)resent unanimously approved the following'consensus" resolution:

PI KAPPA PHI

IN THE BEGINNINGA New Record of Interest to All Pi Kapps

Rare is the organization having its earlyhistory available in the spoken words ofthose who were intimately involved. In thecase of a fraternity this is even more un-usual. Pi Kappa Phi is fortunate to havea remarkable record available, recordingfor all to hear the beginning days of theFraternity in the words of two of its threeoriginal Founders.

In 1961, just prior to the death ofFounder Mixon, Brother Richard Youngof Charlotte, N. C., went to Charleston,S. C., equipped with a tape recorder. Therehe visited the two surviving Founders,L. HARRY MIXON and SIMON FOGARTY.During this visit he interviewed the two,questioning them of their recollection ofthe creation and early days of the Frater-nity they founded.

Dick Young, himself asignificant part of thestory of Pi Kappa Phi,was at that time a re-porter for the CharlotteNews and a quite capableinterviewer. For a num-ber of years in the 1930'sand 1940's, Brother

Young was the editor of The Star andLamp. He has always remained interested

and involved in the affairs of Pi KappaPhi, and his assistance in a multitude ofareas has been valuable throughout theyears.

This new record is of the long playingvariety, and is most unusual in its con-tents. The reminiscing of these two finemen, both in their eightieth year, is re-markably clear and understandable. Thesoft Southern accent, the touch of Charles-ton, the pride and love they express, allcombine to allow you to relive "Pi KappaPhi In The Beginning."
