Less than 100 copies supplied the membership of Pi Kappa Phi with the firstprinting of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Journal in October of 1909. Though the Journalis not recognized by many members today, its sequel, the Star and Lamp, still remainsthe one constant source of general contact among the brotherhood of the Fraternity.
Brother Howard Leake, Washington and Lee, the first Executive Director andeditor of the Star and Lamp said in 1959: "It has been a wonderful vehicle of bonding —the tie that binds the distant and the near." Presently, the pages of the Star and Lamp areread by some 35,000 alumni and student members of Pi Kappa Phi; members who hailfrom around the country and the world. It is for these members that we take a look back,on this 75th Anniversary of the publication.
Not only has the press run increased over 75 years, but many other changes haveaffected the Star and Lamp during this length of time. The first 50 years of productionwere greatly influenced and nurtured by those men who held the title of editor. BrotherHenry P. Wagener, College of Charleston, was a freshman medical student when hebecame the first editor. Though he claimed to be a novice and did not have a typewriter,he pioneered with good taste and well-applied wisdom.
Other editors brought to the editor's position their own unique style and exper-ience. Brother John D. Hamer, University of South Carolina, introduced various articletopics into the magazine in 1911, then revised as The Star and Lamp of Pi Kappa PhiFraternity. Advertisements were allowed to ease the burden of financial strain. In 1915,the publication was printed free of charge and "saved" by Wade S. Bolt, who was thenofficially initiated into Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Richard L. Young, University of NorthCarolina-Chapel Hill, issued the battle cry "Once a Pi Kapp — Always a Pi Kapp" in 1924.This editor brought the Star and Lamp to such a high level in terms of design and contentas to place it as a leader in fraternity publications.
Brother Leake, who by talent of pen and mind, added special warmth in the years1929-37. Brother W. Bernard Jones, College of Charleston, nurtured the survival of theStar and Lamp following the war years by adjusting the lifetime subscription cost. "AsEditor-in-Chief for eight years, I came to the definite conclusion that our publicationdollar is as well spent as that of any other fraternity publication in America," he said.
In 1959, the editorship of James M. Wilson, University of South Carolina, cameto an end after several innovations in content and design. Chapter letters were compiledinto a general narrative and expansion news was the feature of his term.
.:**64••• z‘.
In the past 25 years, the Fraternity has indeed expanded, and the Star and Lamphas followed this growth with more coverage of the organization on a national level.Costs, however, have persisted in causing problems in the production of the Star andLamp. In 1974, the magazine format was traded for a tabloid format, a decision backedby surveys and research on cost, readibility and effectiveness.
The editors of the early years have been replaced by various persons includingthe present Executive Director, a non-staff managing editor, a staff managing editor, andthe present Director of Communications.
As we look back on 75 years of publication, humble respect and deep apprecia-tion is acknowledged to those who have helped to maintain the one constant source ofinformation for all of Pi Kappa Phi. This issue is dedicated to all the past editors of andcontributors to the Star and Lamp.

Different times present Pi Kappa Phiwith different issues. The Star and Lampwill attempt to present these topics in afair light with opinions from the brother-hood. On this page of the seventy-fifthissue of The Star and Lamp, we presentpast topics covered in our history.
Reprinted from the August 1963Star and Lamp.
"If the fraternity system is dying, it isthe liveliest corpse you have ever seen.
Hostility to the fraternity system hasnot always been limited to hostility to-wards individual fraternities, nor towardsfraternities on specific campuses. Atdifferent intervals in history, fraternitieshave found themselves completely bannedfrom many college and university systems.
Of note recently, was the address givenby Dr. E. D. Eddy, Jr., President of Chat-ham College, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.Chatham College is an all-girl college withno sororities. Having little, if any, back-ground concerning fraternities or sorori-ties, this college president told an audienceof university presidents that 'it is time toprepare a decent burial for the traditionalAmerican college fraternity' since 'timehas run out for the national fraternitysystem.'
Many other instances of mis-informa-tion for study and research, have resultedin similar types of false and misleadingpublicity. Of immediate thought comesto mind an article in Newsweek Magazineentitled, 'Zeta Beta Kaput,' which mis-quoted and quoted out of context, vari-ous school administrators indicating thatfraternities were 'losing out.' That factual
and constructional publication, Esquire,has also esteemed itself in the eyes of goodfraternity men by an article entitled,'The Death of Fraternities.' This was avery caustic and subtle article, writtenpurely from the fantasy of a second-stringwriter's imagination, lacking in facts, andin certain instances, being downright un-truthful.
Look Magazine has found it necessaryto get into the act, and has recently pro-duced an article entitled, 'Big Brother.'Although an initial glance at this articlemight give you the impression that it wasa middle-of-the-road treatise on the sub-ject of I fraternities, it actually was a subtleattack on the system." (Editor's Note:Look Magazine no longer exists andGreeks are thriving.)
"In 1957, there were 5,524,606 initia-ted members of Greek letter societies. Sixyears later, there are 7,324,481 initiatedmembers—a growth of 1,799,875 mem-bers.
Today 1963, we find 4,092 chaptersof men's national fraternities, while in1957 there were 3,740 chapters. This is anet gain in six years of 362 chapters—ap-proximately sixty per year.
National sororities had 2,125 chaptersin 1957. This year 1963, there are 2,374sorority chapters. This is a net gain in sixyears of 249 chapters.
Membership increases—number ofchapters increase—internally, then, itwould appear that sound and productivegrowth in the immediate past has been theorder of the day."
A similar theme was addressedtwo years later in this next story re-printed from the August 1965 Starand Lamp written by the Past Inter-national President of Delta Upsilon,Henry A. Fedrea.
"I note with some wry amusement thata sub-committee of the Amherst facultyis urging the replacement of fraternitieswith a system of residential units becausethey say fraternities have become an ana-chronism, the possibilities for their re-form have been exhausted and that theynow stand directly in the way of excitingnew possibilities for student life. It mustbe remembered that Amherst, for several
years, has exercised a high degree of con-trol of the fraternities there, shaping thefraternities as they pleased. It now appearsthat the sub-committee is unhappy withthe surgery performed and is councilingthrowing away their handiwork.
Isn't it just possible that the Amherststudents might like to mix their pleasuresand thoughts for themselves? Isn't it justpossible that the students might not con-sider communal living an exciting newpossibility for student life? Why is it thatalthough this country has drafted collegemen to be killed for their country, someeducators feel they cannot be trusted tochoose their own mixture of thoughts andpleasures? These men supposedly wouldfight and die for the rights of freedom ofchoice and of expression and yet theseeducators would try by forced feeding,to keep them from exercising these rightswhile attending college.
TODAY
It took Amherst a little while to makeup their mind, but this year after ColbyCollege banned their fraternities, Amherstjoined the bandwagon.
Many have again suggested this is a newtrend. Newspapers echo the theme of adecaying ancient system. Somebody for-got to ask the people who know!
Criticism of the system is welcome butone should not forget the fact that frater-nities have addressed each problem pro-actively. At a time when hazing was chok-ing the system, we provided leadershipand direction, action and enforcement.Today as the roles of men and women playa key role in the well being of fraternities,we are providing sources of etiquette andprofessionalism. After four years of activeeducation on alcohol, college men areslowing in the abuse of alcohol. The or-ganization within the Greek System pro-vides the only source to teach values, aca-demics, friendship and leadership.
As a dying institution fraternities areexperiencing outstanding growth. In 1984national fraternities grew at an averagerate of 10.5%.
Fraternities have always been an easytarget but to echo the 1963 Star and Lamp". . . it is the liveliest corpse you have everseen."
A strong feeling about Pi Kappa Phi!
Gary Leonard is in his second year asan employee with the Fraternity. He is amember of the chapter at the Universityof Florida, having served there as SocialChairman, Rush Chairman and Archon.
Gary, you are the third Assistant Ex-ecutive Director in our Fraternity's his-tory. What are your responsibilities?
This position is actually the combina-tion of two different responsibilities.My primary responsibility is to manage
our Properties Division. For Properties toserve its original purpose, we must developstrong alumni support around each chapterto provide for long term stability. To dothis, alumni and undergraduates must bet-ter understand the concept of Properties.A second area of responsibility is coor-
dinating our expansion efforts. We have
been the fastest growing National Frater-nity now for the past 16 years. That's atrack record I would like to maintain. Thisyear we will be going back to the Universi-ty of Nebraska and Duke University, bothoutstanding schools with strong alumnibacking.
In the future, the position will be uti-lized as part of a contingency plan to de-velop future leaders of our Fraternity.
What are your goals for the Fraternity?
I believe the goal of our Fraternity isto provide a quality fraternity experiencefor all undergraduate brothers, and to con-tinue that quality experience with alumniby providing opportunities and challengesfor continued involvement.
This goal can only be reached when ourbrotherhood as a whole develops a "Com-mitment to Excellence." This commit-ment starts from the Administrative Officelevel, and can best be visualized throughpublications and manuals. So, our firststep is to develop quality materials to sup-port a success attitude in our chapters.A second area of concern is the devel-
opment of Alumni Associations. AlumniAssociations are a positive and meaning-ful way to keep in touch with Fraternityfriends. I believe this will be a wave of thefuture, which I hope Pi Kappa Phi willtake a lead in.
Is there anything you would like tochange about Pi Kappa Phi?
Two areas strike me immediately. Thefirst area is the development of a distinc-tive competence and the second is simply
communication.By distinctive competence, I mean de-
develop an image that chapters and alumnican rally around. Something Pi Kappa Phican be recognized for, and can stand for.An example would be the theme of lead-ership. We are leaders in the Fraternityworld with the Pi Kapp College Leader-ship Conference, with P.U.S.H., and withour alcohol education program. It may bea natural transgression to promote this asthe Pi Kapp theme, and to utilize this areaof expertise to provide a quality fraternityexperience for all Pi Kapps.
Communication is vital for undergrad-uate chapters to receive the services avail-able from the Administrative Office. Thiscommunication must be a two-way street.From the office standpoint, we must pro-vide ample publicity for services available,and must provide a medium, via publica-tions, where our members can both voicetheir opinions, but can also develop an un-derstanding of the positive movements ourFraternity is making. Too few take advan-tage of available services, and fewer yetunderstand the "big picture" as it relatesto our Fraternity.
You came from the chapter at the Uni-versity of Florida, one of our strongest.What experience do you bring with you?
Perhaps the greatest experience waswatching many dedicated individuals takea chapter from an abyssmal point, to apoint where all the chapter members wereproud to be a part of the organization. Ihad the opportunity to participate in achapter that went from 40 men, $15,000in debt, to a chapter of 140 who are look-
ing to build an extension on the house.That progress came from hard work andcommitment to ideals. Now, when I visita struggling chapter I only think of the un-limited potential that could be unleashedwith proper motivation.
What is Pi Kappa Phi's future?
I am very optimistic about our Frater-nity's future. We have much to be proudof. Our Leadership Conference is unparal-leled, our service emphasis is unique, ourexpansion effort is strong, and our averagechapter size is at its highest point in ourhistory. We also have many challenges be-fore us. Two challenges will determine ourfuture. First, undergraduate chapters mustdefine their purpose. New drinking agelaws, scrutiny from the university andneighborhoods, and policy from the Su-preme Chapter, will all but eliminate chap-ters which are not working toward theideals in our Student Creed. The value ofour Fraternity system is being questioneddaily, and we must respond to those ques-tions with positive examples.
Second, our Fraternity is limited byour funds available. Undergraduates fi-nance about 80% of all our Fraternity'sactivities. For us to be strong in the future,this burden can not continue to fall solelyon our young men. We compete in allareas with National Fraternities who haveFoundations that far surpass ours. I do notbelieve we will be able to continue to com-pete unless change occurs. However, wehave a resilient Fraternity that rallies whenneeded, and I see nothing that should hin-der us from better providing the qualityexperience our brothers deserve.
it was a good year""We can change things once we are
initiated by working from the inside."Many pledges say or think these same
thoughts and my pledge class was no differ-ent. We were ready to cure every injustice.Our ambition was to get involved on acommittee and land an officer's spot toperform all our noble reform.
These thoughts were triggered by run-ning into a twenty-year friend, my PledgeClass President. He made me feel good bytelling me how proud he was I had becomePresident. It suddenly dawned on me I wasas inside as I could get, I was really in aposition to make the great changes, and Ican't even remember what they were.
When asked to write a "piece" for eachissue of The Star and Lamp, I knew I wasnot only in a position to help changethings, but I had an audience, too! I havegone back and read everything I have writ-ten and most of it sounds like soapboxpreaching. I strongly believe in what I havesaid, but it is still preaching.
"This time, go light" I promised my-self. So here are random thoughts aboutevents that surround Pi Kappa Phi. Peoplemet, places visited, things seen. No moralsto these stories, no reforms, no changesfrom within — just good things aboutPi Kapps being Pi Kapps.
CLINTON, S.C. I've been going to the
Beta "Smoker" Rush Party for years. It'ssteeped in Beta tradition, not to mention
those impressive smelling cigars. It is agreat party in one of the prettiest little
towns anywhere. Beta emphasis is on hos-
pitality and academic excellence. The"traveling buddy," Glenn McConnell, istruly a unique experience by himself!CHARLOTTE, N.C. The chapter at
UNCC held its 10th Anniversary. Theydid a superb job. I gave one of my firstspeeches and announced Charlotte would
be the next location' of Supreme Chapter
before the rest of Council approved it.
Thanks to the Council for getting me out
of trouble.ATLANTA, GA A rush seminar at-
tended by tons of Pi Kapps was organized
by the wonderful Steve Wrenn (good-bye
Steve, we will miss you). Eager students,
wanting to learn more about recruiting
brothers, crowded the beautiful Peachtree
Plaza. We were supplied a free room by thehotel, in hopes it would be chosen if Su-
preme Chapter was held in Atlanta. We
had a great view, sixty floors up, of the
McDonald's across the street.CHARLOTTE, AGAIN The Archon/
Vice Archon Conference gathered at the
next sight of Supreme Chapter. These men
are the "cream of the crop." In that room
were the next Jim Edwards, Randy Owen,
and Glen Brock. Some of the finest hope
for the future was in that room.
MEMPHIS, TN On the way to the
chartering at Christian Brothers College, I
wondered if they were a winery. This
great chapter is located at a top-notchschool. The chartering teams from Mem-phis State and Central Arkansas did an ex-
cellent job. I stayed at the "Pi Kapp Mo-
tel," the home of Jane and Bill Finney. I
received a nickle tour of Memphis and
went to Memphis State, where they take
their social life seriously.TROY, N.Y. Area Conclave was held
at the "castle." This is the most ornate
house imaginable. Rick Bohner is the Area
Governor and he lives and breathes every-
thing Pi Kappa Phi. Everything in Troy isan engineering marvel, as exemplified bythe gargantuan number of electronic giz-mos in the house.LAKELAND, FL My wife, Dolly, and
two sons, Dennis and Andrew, helped mevisit Florida Southern. It's hard to believethat feeding ducks at the lake could be somuch fun. Ted Scharfenstein is still talkedabout. I helped start their ambitious wheel-chair P.U.S.H. on 'its way to the Capitol.
GAINESVILLE, FL On the way, we
CHAPTER GROWTHNumber of Chapters100

passed Florida Southern pushing their
wheelchair. Alpha Epsilon celebrated their
60th Anniversary in flourishing style withno detail overlooked. I took my wholefamily and while there locked the keys inmy car. But it was still a thrill to see ournephew, Larry Goldstein, who is in thechapter.SPARTANBURG, S.C. A lifelong
friend, Jerry Baker, is on staff at the uni-
versity. Twenty brothers crammed intoan office for four — they loved it! I had
lunch at the Beacon, the most unusual res-
taurant in the world. The chapter takesguests there to see who survives. Rose Ballwas great, with lots of pretty women.CHARLESTON, S.C. No place like
home. It's tough not to go by the house,but I don't want to smother them. Mythree-year-old son goes to school acrossthe street and waves to his "Kappy boys"as they lounge on the piazzas.
The new Alpha House is adjacent to thePresident's Mansion. The President is a
Kappa Alpha, but interfraternalism doesn'twash above 70 decibels. Bobby Marlowe
is the most diligent, persevering, HousingCorporation President there could ever be.Chapter Advisor John Hassell and I talkevery day.
Julius Burges is the Chairman of the
Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. He is more en-ergetic than men one-third his age. I'm notsure he knows that the word no exists. Iconsider it an honor to have been able towatch fraternal history being made. There,
Page 3
on a coal-black wrought iron fence, sat
Durward Owen and Julius Burges. Their
long angular bodies stretched out relaxing
under the welcome shade of an ancient oaktree beneath the Pi Kapp clock at the Col-
lege of Charleston. On that lazy, cool
Charleston afternoon, the future of this
fraternity was made safe, when Julius ac-cepted Durward's offer to chair the Foun-dation.CHARLOTTE, AGAIN, AGAIN AND
AGAIN The Administrative Office is theusual host of National Council meetings,and this year was no exception. The Coun-
cil was caged and rarely let out because oflong hours attending detailed meetings,tons of paper work and intense briefings.Connie Owen was the highlight of theweekend. Relaxing at the Owen home onSaturday night, made it all worthwhile.Connie is the most gracious hostess any-where.MILLEDGEVILLE, GA A great char-
tering, a super group, a nice campus, anda group of supportive parents will bringsuccess to that chapter. Hospitality wasoverflowing — the one thing about Mil-ledgeville you cannot get from anywhereelse.
It has been a great year. Below this"piece" are the facts of the year in num-bers and charts, yet the year means somuch more to me. The places and eventsare important, they behold all good events— all good Pi Kapps.
Do you remember last year? The first page headline of the Summer Star and Lamp
told in bold letters of the "Record Year" in 1983. The same headline could be used
again, because Pi Kappa Phi broke all of last year's records!
If Pi Kappa Phi was a business, sold stock, produced a portfolio with the same sta-
tistics and graphs, our stock would be Blue Chip and very expensive.
In every area, the fraternity improved again.

The reasons for growth are many: the continued leadership provided by the Admin-istrative Office, the quality of men serving on the National Council, the Foundationand Properties Board, the P.U.S.H. Directors, the expertise and professionalism of thestaff, the adherence to the founding principles, our progressive programs on hazing,alcohol, and leadership.
The fact that all areas of the Fraternity increased again is a great sign for the future.
However, one category lags behind the others. Voluntary Dues, the alumni support, is
by far the weakest and yet one of the most important parts of the fraternity.
The graphs and facts show one thing: Pi Kappa Phi is a winner. On page six and
seven are the men who purchased stock in their fraternity and can share in the pride
of Pi Kappa Phi.
This is the year of celebration! This is our eighth decade, the 75th year of The Star
and Lamp, the Silver Anniversary of both Durward Owen and Pi Kapp College. We also
celebrate continued success in every area. Take pride in your fraternity, hold a share of
this winning team, take stock in your fraternity, by continuing to support its progres-
sive programs. Next year we will have more to celebrate!

Dear Editor:This is to acknowledge with gratitude
my receipt of the Golden Legion shingle,together with your accompanying letter,both dated December 12, 1983. They werepresented to me, with a replacement fra-ternity pin and two tickets to the concertof the Singing Hoosiers at a dinner honor-ing my wife, me and their parents, by thebrothers in Alpha Psi. What a considerategesture! We both enjoyed it tremendously.
I had not been in contact with any ofthe brothers in the local chapter in almosttwo years, when we donated some furni-ture too large to be used in our presentsmaller quarters. I found the present activemembers to be unusually dedicated, en-thusiastic, and congenial.
Fraternally yours,Ledford C. Carter

Steve Wrenn, Wofford College No. 428
Chapter Advisor of the Year — 1982
Stephen Earle Wrenn, was our friend.
Not just a friend, but he was the best kind
of friend. He did not hesitate to differ, to
question, or to make demands — when to
do so was for a right and just cause — his
fraternity. Steve was a perfect example of
a true and friendly Pi Kapp.
We will miss this devoted and loving
Pi Kappa Phi Brother. In his own special
way, he worked increasingly for his Na-
tional Fraternity and his chapter at South-
ern Tech. With a caring and dedicated atti-
tude he put more personal hours and more
of his personal resources into Pi Kappa Phi
than any one should be asked or expected.
To his family we express our apprecia-
tion for his life and for that portion there-
of they shared with Pi Kappa Phi.
Creationof C.A.R.
Jerry Matthews of Alpha Eta worked
with the Fraternity twice, the first time as
a Field Secretary. He departed in 1971 and
went to work for the University of Okla-
homa in Norman, Oklahoma. While there,
he first was Fraternity Advisor, but the
University made it a joint assignment and
he became the first male advisor to both
fraternities and sororities in the fraternity
system.Shortly thereafter, he went to work for
a firm in Dallas, Texas. Initially I did not
know much about his new work. There-
fore, when he called me one day and said
he was coming through Charlotte and
would like to spend a few minutes with me
at the airport, I did not have advance
warning of what the conversation would
be about.When I got to the airport, Jerry intro-
duced me to the person he worked for
and the two of them proceeded to outline
for me how they were making reasonably
good money in Dallas, soliciting funds
from alumni of chapters of various frater-
nities.Their procedure was to contract with
the chapter or its alumni and agree to pro-
duce two publications and then two or
three solicitation communications to the
alumni of that chapter. Their fee was to
be paid for by the money received from
the alumni in the solicitation process. The
interesting factor was they had no set fee
structure but instead designed it for each
chapter based upon its number of alumni.
It was easy for me to see that what they
were doing was anticipating their actual
cost based upon the number of initiates
they would be mailing, and then tripling
that figure in their contract in order to ar-
rive at a profit margin of 200%.
The idea of making money off our
alumni was not an appealing aspect. Their
alumni corporations should be doing this.
Likewise, giving our confidential alumni
lists to an outside firm to encur a rather
large profit was not an attractive prospect.
I did not agree to become involved.
Several months later I had another op-
portunity to talk with Jerry, and in that
conversation we worked out an arrange-
ment whereby Jerry (who was by this time
somewhat dissatisfied with the firm he was
working for) would come back to work
for Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. He did this as
Director of Membership (to include a new
C.A.R. concept), in 1973.We created an organization not using
the name of Pi Kappa Phi, referring to it
as Continuing Alumni Relations, Inc.
(C.A.R.). Jerry's home address, which was
not in Charlotte but in a suburb, was to
become the address of the organization.
The Administrative Office did not have
the necessary equipment at that time.
Therefore we secured the help of another
alumnus, Bennett Smith, to actually start
the process. In this case Bennett Smith was
an outside contractor, and there just
wasn't enough money in the concept for
that. We soon had to bring it 100% into
the Administrative Office, with the operat-
ing budget of the Fraternity supporting
the initial years. C.A.R., Inc. was incor-
porated in the state of North Carolina on
July 28, 1976.Since then we have had four Directors
of Communication, and at times it has fal-
len under my direct activity. The concept
of soliciting alumni to pay the cost of a
continuing communication effort has re-
mained the basis of C.A.R. The profit mar-
gin has not been built in, therefore it has
become reasonably successful as a vehicle
for insuring over one half of the alumni
members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity re-
ceiving information on a continuing basis
at a reasonable cost.
This same service still is provided chap-
ters of fraternities throughout the United
States by various for-profit organizations.
It is interesting to note that very rarely
does any alumni group have any excess
funds over their contracted agreed-to
amount.Sooner or later, however, all alumni
corporations of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity
utilizing C.A.R. do end up with net funds
accruing for their use or for their use with
the undergraduate chapter. Whereas in the
early days, due to the lack of a profit mar-
gin, the national fraternity has had to
finance the opening of each year's cost,
it is now sufficiently developed where
C.A.R. is essentially paying for itself.
It is my anticipation that in the not too
distant future it will be paying all of its
cost, and therefore paying its share of the
cost of equipment, utilities and space at
the Administrative Office. That is what
its original concept calls for.Durward Owen

(66)Pi Kapp's two Olympians
John Foster and his father, John Sr., practice
for the Olympics.
Delta Lambda has a future Olympiad.
Brother John Foster (Delta Lambda 231)
will be representing the U.S. Virgin Islands
in the Star Boat Class Sailing Champion-
ships in Los Angeles this summer.
A native of the Virgin Islands, John
Foster has been a competitive sailor since
the age of 13, when his father gave him
his first boat. Honing his skills, he later be-
came a member of the Kent School Sailing
Team. John attributes his early start and
success in sailing to his father, John Fos-
ter, Sr.Mr. Foster, a real estate dealer, has sev-
eral years of competitive sailing experience
to his credit. He has represented the U.S.
Virgin Islands in both the Kiel Olympics
of 1976 and the Montreal Olympics of
1980.When John Jr. grew older, he and his
father began sailing together competitive-
ly. They began in the J-24 class boat,
capturing the Rolex Regada twice, the An-
tigua Race Week twice and the Caribbean
Ocean Racing Triangle Cup twice. Heavier
competition was encountered as they
achieved a 7th place finish in the '81 Pan
American Games in Puerto Rico.The change to Star Boat Class Racing
resulted in a 7th place finish in the Pan-
American Games in Venezuela in 1983.
These victories, plus many more, resulted
in qualification for the Olympic Games
this summer, as representatives of the U.S.
Virgin Islands. It was a dream come true
for John and his father.
Sailing to John is more than a compet-
itive sport. He enjoys sailing "because of
its involvement with nature; the wind, sea
and speed produces an addictive exper-
ence. Sailing is a challenge, a physical chal-
lenge not only with the competition but
with nature."
Pi Kappa Phi wishes John and his father
the "best of luck" in the Olympics andwill be pulling for them all the way.

John Marshall of Villanova
Pi Kappa Phi will have a second mem-
ber in the Olympics this summer. A mem-
ber of the charter group at Villanova Uni-
versity in Villanova, PA. John Marshall,
from Plainfield, N.J., will run for the U.S.
Olympic Track and Field Team in the 800-
meter.The 800-meter final was one of the
best races run in track history. John won
the third spot on the team, but considering
how he won it and who he beat, it is re-
markable.James Robinson, a two-time Olympian,
and Don Paige, the 1980 800-meter Olym-
pic trial winner, were in the race and con-
sidered sure bets to win again. Earl Jones
and Johnny Gray tied for first place by
beating the American record in 1:43.74.
John Marshall and James Robinson both
finished at 1:43.92. This is the first time
four runners have ever finished under 1:44
in one 800-meter race.
A photo finish had to pick the third
place winner. Marshall thought he had
won, but James Robinson started the cele-
brating. First, Brother John looked at the
scoreboard to watch the replay. He had
finished third! In sheer joy, he fell to the
track, arms spread apart.Congratulations to Pi Kappa Phi's
Olympian John Marshall.

Dear "Chapter Letters" Editor,
Why, under my chapter in the "Chapter
Letters" in the Star and Lamp, do I so fre-
quently read "No report submitted"? Are
they on the mailing list? Is the chapter
poorly organized? Is no one supervising
the duties of other officers? Is there noth-
ing to brag about? Is my chapter not inter-
ested in communicating with other chap-
ters or their alumni? Don't they care?
A reply from someone is requested.

attracted brothers to the house in the
afternoons. The result is a surprisingly

The big news is that we did a mid-
semester Rush-Blitz. This was the first
time that it had been attempted on our
campus and was a fantastic success.
The week before Rush-Blitz the
brothers and current associate members
went out on their own in search of pros-
pective pledges. Each person had to turn
in a list of at least five names. Then small
teams of brothers and associate members
were given a name or two from a card. It
was the team's job to contact the pros-
pect in person and rush him. This rush is
very informal and personal. He is then in-
vited to stop by the house for one of the
several events. Such events were cook--
outs, movies and/or cartoons, or just to
go out and play some football. Meetings
were held every evening at 10:00 p.m.
The Rush-Blitz was carried out all in
secret. It gave the members great personal
satisfaction and self pride while participa-
ting in the rush, especially when we saw
the faces of the other fraternities' repre-
sentatives at an Intrafratemity Council
meeting when it was announced what we
had accomplished.
Chip Felkel is to be commended for
his outstanding organizational abilities
with the Rush-Blitz and also as the head
of the Rush and Membership Develop-
ment Committee.

Going into this spring semester Tau
Chapter had high expectations for a great
rush. We all felt that Tau had a good pro-
duct to show interested young men. We
showed them a solid brotherhood work-
ing towards bettering ourselves in scholar-
ship and backed this attitude with the
third highest GPA of 22 fraternities. We
showed them a financially sound and pru-
dent chapter and backed this with a well
thought out and inexpensive rush pro-
gram that combined highly visual social
activities with low key dinner programs
for prospective members. We feel that the
dinners were probably the most effective
rush device in that this is the best way to
show a new man that Pi Kapp brother-
hood in a more casual setting. Our rush
netted ten new men, all of whom have al-
ready impressed us with their enthusiasm

pledge class of about five men as soon as
their education is complete. Meanwhile,
we maintained the highest fraternity

one of our freshmen pulled a perfect 4.0.
We volunteered the entire chapter as

In my 80 some years I have seen a lot
of changes, both good and bad. I've seen
automobiles go from rare to common-
place; I saw the digital computer built,
the first one, only a few blocks away; I've
seen brothers come and go, live and die,
grow and mature. This later occurrence
was the purpose of my existance, so I
thought.A few short years ago, I watched the
number of brothers of my chapter,
Alpha Omicron, dwindle down smaller
and smaller. Late August 1982, I saw my
Pi Kapp chapter house changed into a
ministry, after all those years it stopped
being a fraternity.As August became September, Sep-
tember became October, life seemed to

With 14 pledges this semester the
brotherhood of Alpha Mu continues to
grow stronger as we approach 1000 total
initiates! Our newly revised pledge and
rush programs are continuing to be a
great success.Our second annual wrist-wrestling

The ministry conducted their business
and nothing else really happened. Until
one day two men arrived from some-
where down South; I could tell by their
accent. Glenn Dickson and Glenn Aspin-
wall were their names. These two guys
started talking fraternity again. And they
showed the houses to a whole bunch of
people that I had never seen before. It
took me a while, but I finally figured out
what happened. These gentlemen were
Chapter Consultants and they were going
to start my beloved Alpha Omicron
Chapter up again. I was delighted! The
rest of last year is all fairly hazy. I do re-
member some of these new guys getting
together on weekends and doing stuff to
fix up the houses. I don't know much
until about August of this year, August
1983.I am told it was about the first of
August that the new Pi Kapps took con-
trol of the old house. You could tell these
guys were new and excited. They could
be heard in the yard talking about frater-
nity, brotherhood, functions, rush and
the like. This new life made me feel 30 or
40 years younger. I felt like a kid again.
And when they found me they took great
care to see that I had what I needed to
survive. They showed me lots of brother-
ly love.I started to see some of my old and
dear friends. Folks like Brothers Wayne
Moore and Warren Madden, they are both
vice-presidents of the university now;
Brother Fred Jahr, who is the Chapter
Advisor now; Brother Harold Cowles, a
professor here; plus others who have
popped their heads in to say hello now
and again. As I grow ever older and the
students ever younger, it makes me feel
so good to see the older brothers, the
ones I knew when I was younger. I would
like to see them all soon, very soon.
By the way, If you ever want to talk
to me or my new friends at Alpha Omi-
cron, the new number is 515/292-5266.

important of which is the total rewiring
of the house's electrical system. After re-
painting the interior of the house, newwall-to-wall carpeting is to be installed on
the top floors. Another noteworthy im-
provement is the acquisition of the new,
money-saving boiler.Following along the same lines of
house improvement is something new we
tried pertaining to workdays. In the past
we have always put one weekend aside
for major house projects, asking all broth-

on co-op at distant locations and cannot
attend as readily, we proposed a four-

This past winter, our chapter realized
that brotherhood meant more than party-
ing and we needed to do something to
strengthen our bonds of brotherhood. A
special meeting was held to discuss proj-
ects and activities to improve the chapter.
One of the first ideas to come about dur-
ing this meeting was to plan a P.U.S.H.
project. Everyone quickly agreed and the
P.U.S.H. committee then began to plan
the largest project in the history of the
Delta Alpha Chapter.
The project was to be in the form of a
P.U.S.H.-A•THON in which brothers with
wheelchairs and baskets were stationed
throughout the campus to solicit dona-
tions. Well-known people at Virginia Tech
were contacted to help in soliciting dona-
tions on the day of the P.U.S.H.-A-THON.
Some of these people included Dr. Lavery,
the University President; football coach
Bill Dooley; Kristen Saake, homecoming
queen; and the Tech mascot. The outcome
of the event turned out to be a success
with over $500 raised for P.U.S.H. As well
as being Pi Kappa Phi's most successful
charity fundraiser of the year, it was the
most successful fundraiser for charity of
any fraternity on campus. This project
showed our brotherhood that we could do
anything we set forth to do.

Delta Beta Chapter is making leaps up-
ward in many areas crucial to the chapter's
future. The purchase of our own sound
system was just one of them. There is much
more communication with alumni and
more is planned for those brothers who
are far away in places like Lebanon and
Turkey. We at the chapter are carrying on
the spirit of Johnny Yuma! Installation of
the good strong committee system we are
now using has made organization an easy
task.The fraternities here at North Georgia
College use the round robin system when
when having smokers during winter rush.
The brothers decided we should try some-
thing new at the smoker, like giving the
rushees a cigar. We heard a tale that long
ago at the old smokers this was common
practice. We tried it and surprisingly, the
rushees kept the cigars. Some of the
brothers have seen some of them (cigars)
in our follow-up visits to these rushee's
rooms in the dorm. It was felt that a
nametag or folder could be too easily
discarded and the cigars would probably
leave a definite impression, getting them
to ask questions. PI KAPP'S WHERE IT'S

The highlight of the year has been our
annual Rose Ball, held the end of Febru-
ary. Alumni involvement and a presenta-
tion of UNO's Greek history by our guest
speaker served to heighten the enjoyment
of the evening.
We recently learned that, after the re-
lease of fall semester grades, our chapter
moved from fourth to second in overall
fraternity GPA. This rise resulted mainly
from an increased awareness of the impor-
tance of scholarship and from a better aca-
demic aid system developed internally.

In January, a Chapter Conclave was
held to discuss the chapter's housing situa-
tion. After ten years in the same home, we
were ready for a change. At the meeting,
an alumni committee was established with
the authority to purchase land or an exist-
ing house for the chapter. One of the goals
of Delta Epsilon throughout its twelve
years at JSU has been owning our own
house. The establishment of this commit-
tee is a huge step toward this goal.
Project P.U.S.H. continues to bring
Delta Epsilon great publicity, along with
the actual purpose of helping severely
handicapped young people. Our road-
blocks, dunk-a-thon and window wash
have been very successful.
We have developed two new methods
for P.U.S.H, fundraising purposes. First is
a memorial award in honor of a brother
who died earlier this year of Hodgkin's

Outstanding Chapter NewsletterGreek Week festivities were the culmin-

Greek Week banquet saw our efforts re-
warded as we received the Scholarship
Cup, as the top fraternity on campus aca-
demically. This achievement occurs at a
time when all fraternity GPA's on campus
are rising and has been a source of great
pride for Delta Delta. Also acknowledged
at the banquet as the recipient of the

long festivities by capturing the overall

second place the other year. The brothers
look forward to displaying this same

Other highlights of the year include a

selection of Little Sb Lynne Preisack as
the '83-84 Northeast Homecoming Queen,
and Delta Delta's third place finish in All.

back many alumni and friends. The high-
lights of the evening were the crowning of

resolution, sponsored by the House of

to better themselves through education
and fellowship with one another."

Scholarship development is being pro-

any brother with a GPA of 3.75 or higher
will be eligible for consideration of having
all dues paid in the following semester. The
brother with the highest GPA of those
eligible will receive this award.
Also, the pledge with the highest GPA
above 3.75 will be awarded payment of
the initiation fee by the chapter.
We think this will be a very good incen-

While we may not have actually met
our monetary goal of $2,000 during the

learning experience, and was in many ways
advantageous to the chapter. Perhaps the
problems experienced were due to over ex-
tending our abilities and setting our goals
too high. This may have led to some dis-
couragement. However, the fact remains
the benefits were at least two-fold. Not
only did our enthusiasm help to enhance
the image of Pi Kappa Phi: but our efforts
did indeed increase the awareness of

Greetings, Pi Kappa. The news that weare so close to chartering is extremely ex-citing. To this end, we have had and willbe having weeks full of special events toattract new members of high caliber. Allof the other requirements, mostly paper-work, are being expedited with utmostspeed. One of the most attractive featuresat the University of Denver might be thefact we placed second of all fraternities inoverall Grade Point Averages. We hope toreach first place next quarter by stressingacademics, along with the fun and games.Other features include our involvement inintramurals: soccer, football, volleyball,etc.
Some of our members happen to befriends with some of the players on theD.U. Women's soccer team and we havearranged a series of games between us andtheir team, with the winners being takenout to dinner by the losers. The deal alsoincludes aerobics with the girls. We couldnot think of a better way to get in shape,could you?
Delta Mu Associate ChapterMethodist College
This year has been quite a successful
one for the members of Delta Mu. The
seven pledges whom we have recently in-ducted are all outstanding men who show
much potential in respect to our future
growth and success. In addition to pledges,
we also inducted three new Litte Sistersinto our chapter. In sports, our intramural
team is doing well. Our chapter room isundergoing changes as we re-decorate,paint, and enlarge the interior.
Louisville Associate Chapter
P.U.S.H. Donation: $67.50
Every semester adds a new facet to the
growth of the Beta Gamma Associate
Chapter. This semester we have taken a
more equitable and stringent approach to
our finances, become very active in intra-
murals, and our relationship with our
alumni has taken shape.
Our intramural involvement has gone
from near zero participation to full par-
ticipation in all twenty events this year.
Our involvement has proven to be an in-valuable recruiting tool and helps to build
the bond of brotherhood within the chap-ter.
Our relationship with our area alumnihas grown considerably, notably with the
starting of an Alumni Association.

PI KAPP COLLEGE
Dear Editor:Congratulations to Pi Kappa Phi on the
Silver Anniversary of Pi Kapp College. The
Spring 1984 Star and Lamp photograph
of the 1959 Pi Kapp College class certain-
ly brings back fond memories. To attend
that session, seven brothers of Alpha Phi
Chapter at Illinois Tech traveled in two
cars virtually non-stop from Chicago to
Burnt Gin State Park near Sumter, South
Carolina. As I recall, other chapter mem-
bers who made the trip were Dave Hilquist,
Ken Miller, Larry Smith, Gene Hendrikse,
Jerry Franckowiak, and Roger Peterson.We arrived a few hours early and Broth-
ers Hilquist, Miller, and Smith decided to
test their nautical skills on (and subse-
quently in) Burnt Gin Lake. They paddled
around in an old boat until forced to aban-
don ship when attacked by a swarm of
angry bees. It wasn't until later that we
learned about the water moccasins lurking
in the water at the same time.The food provided a special fascination
for us. It was our first encounter with grits,which seemed to be served at every meal.(I must confess, I'm still not sure how toeat them.)
I especially remember the country club
where a dance was held for us. Brother
Smith and I made an unauthorized visit
to the adjacent cocktail lounge, which was
equipped with slot machines. We won a
total of $35, which we later donated to
the chapter building fund.I do recall some of the class sessions.
Brother Bernie Jones conducted a partic-
ularly impressive workshop on rushing andpicked me out of the audience to demon-strate my rushing skills on a recent highschool graduate from his hometown. Iwonder whether the fellow eventually
pledged Pi Kappa Phi.The 1959 graduation ceremony was a
landmark occasion. Addressing the classand autographing our diplomas wasFounder Simon Fogarty. I had this goodfortune doubled in 1961, when I was priv-ileged to have my second Pi Kapp Collegediploma signed by another Founder,L. Harry Mixson.
Twenty-five years ago, Pi Kapp Collegewas founded at a crucial time in our fra-ternity's development. The wisdom of thatinvestment in the human resources of ourorganization has been proven many times
over. I sincerely hope you continue to get
the support needed to carry on the vital
enterprise of leadership training.Sincerely,
Fred W. WidlakHT '58
Dear Editor:I received my copy of The Star and
Lamp today and, as usual, enjoyed it verymuch.
The winter '84 issue was very informa-tive, especially about finances of our fra-ternity. It is high time we alumni were en-lightened about where our money goes.
Brother Jaffee (National President)made reference to the "National" in hisarticle entitled "Where The Dollar Be-gins." I had similar "unbrotherly" feelingstoward the "National" during my under-graduate days.Now that I'm out of college and in the
real world, I understand the concept of anational fraternity much better.
I believe awareness of the "National"should be emphasized more during pledge.ship and early brotherhood.
"National" means more to me now thanit ever did in college.
Fraternally,William Knott, Jr.

ALCOHOL
Dear Brother Jaffee:I have read with interest the article en-
titled "The Alcohol Issue" in the SpringEdition of Pi Kappa Phi's The Star and
Lamp. I want to congratulate you and thePi Kappa Phi Fraternity. May I say this isan issue of tremendous concern to all ofus in institutions of higher education.
I trust and hope this will not be the endof your approach to this very importantproblem. I encourage you to continue thiscampaign against alcohol, and encourageyour various chapters to make this a con-tinuing internal project.
Sincerely yours,John H. Owen
PresidentNorth Georgia College
Dear Brother Jaffee:I commend you for your stand in the
Spring 1984 Issue of The Star and Lamp. Ialways felt the fraternity man should re-flect the best, and yet the image and direc-tion given to our younger pledges andmembers has been lacking.
The fraternal life on and off campus
has a lot to offer, but it takes good leaders,
like yourself, who are willing to lead even
with unpopular issues.Keep up the good work. For the first
time in many years, I can say I am proud
to be a Pi Kapp.Sincerely and Fraternally,
Lawrence D. InglisCircuit Judge

Dear Brother Jaffee:You're right on target. I congratulate
you for going at an issue that is going to
become a real problem for most fraterni-
ties to deal with. I hope Pi Kappa Phi Fra-
ternity will become a leader in this area,
and make alcohol a major impetus for
Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity in 1984 and 1985.There's nothing more alarming than to
have a child injured, or maimed, or killedas a result of an alcohol-related incident;and then, especially, if it involves a frater-nity or a sorority.

BROTHERHOOD
Dear Editor:In your position, you are more likely
to hear negative comments, so I want tolet you know of my appreciation for themen of your chapter at the University ofAlabama.My son, Steven Mapes, a member of
your fraternity at the University of Ala-bama, was seriously injured on April 8.The prompt and mature response by thebrothers probably saved his life. AfterSteven was taken to the hospital, they re-mained there until his mother arrived fromVirginia and I arrived from Colorado. Theytook it upon themselves to arrange lodg-ing, contact Steven's professors and pro-vide transportation when needed. I feelcertain the continued presence of hisbrothers reached Steven while he was un-conscious and helped in his early improve-ment.
I am proud Steven is a member of anorganization of such outstanding men. Allof them can go through life knowing whatbonds develop among brothers and beproud of themselves for all they have done.
Sincerely,E. Stuart Mapes

lavA SAFE INVESTMENTWITH A GOOD DIVIDEND
Do you have a will? If so, when is the last time you reviewed and up-dated it?A will is a person's lasting legacy. It insures that your plans and hopes
for the future will be fulfilled. It specifies how you want your estate to besettled and who is to do it. It saves your family taxes, relieves their bur-dens and provides for their security.
Death is inevitable and it does not discriminate. It is sad enough forloved ones without complicating it further by not having a will. Unfort-unately, too many people put off drafting or updating a will. What couldbe more important?
The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation can make it easier for you to give properattention to your will. As a service to alumni, the Foundation has publisheda six page brochure that tells you, in simple, easy language, why you needa will, what information you will need to draft one, how to review andupdate your will so it will keep current, and if you like, how you can fur-ther the educational and leadership programs of your Fraternity.
The brochure is free of charge and obligates you in no way. The PiKappa Phi Foundation "Brothers helping Brothers."

A GRAND glowYEAR FOR
Play Units to the Severely Handicapped
Pi Kappa Phi has succeeded in reaching its goal of $100,000to benefit Project P.U.S.H. (Play Units for the Severely Handi-capped)! Contributions were received from the fundraisingactivities of 84 undergraduate chapters. Even more astoundingthan the dollar amount, is the tremendous amount of servicehours, manpower and fraternal brotherhood that was mani-fested in order to reach this goal.Four chapters, alone, raised almost one-fourth the total!Fundraising ideas ranged from the simplest window wash toa bi-state P.U.S.H.-a-thon that took almost an entire schoolyear to plan.The chapter at Rennselaer walked 200 miles from Troy, NYto Boston, MA. The Boston Globe and USA Today carriedthe news of this extraordinary voluntary spirit.Eight chapters in North and South Carolina pushed wheel-chairs from their chaper location to Charlotte, NC; many ofthe teams pushed for more than 24 solid hours!Other chapters fulfill their community service hours byhelping to clean, repair and visit mental retardation facilitiesin their areas. It is efforts like these that have prompted theP.U.S.H. Board of Directors to place two units at facilitiescentral to fraternity chapters who have shown outstandingperformance in their community. Two will be placed thisfall; a third for research purposes; and future placementsbased on chapter efforts.This summer, P.U.S.H. Administrator Mickey Thigpenreceived approval for 2 grants, a total of $80,000, fromgrant-making foundations. This is the first major fundingfor P.U.S.H. received from outside the fraternity. This meansto the undergraduates that every cent of money raised willnow go to unit production and not for operating costs.In 1985, expect to see Pi Kappa Phi and P.U.S.H. cata-pulted into national prominence as a leader in the area ofenvironmental architecture for the severely handicapped.Thank you Pi Kappa Phi chapters and contributors! inv
