THE END OF THE TRAIL Commencement farewells and good wishes are

often best expressed by a token of fraternity friend­ship. The senior gift is one long remembered, and cherished for the memories of university and chapter life.

With the widespread custom of presenting the departing member with such a token, we have pre­pared a special array of giftware for the considera­tion of your chapter. A copy of our current Blue Book, with a pamphlet of timely suggestions, awaits your request.

THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND

For a 'Ten Spot!

D 10 you find an expiration notice in this issue? If so, you are one of

the last under the old three year sub­scription plan in effect before the At­lanta convention adopted the Life Sub­

scription method. Alumni have the privilege of the $10

Life Subscription rate. It is a bargain . The reason is this. No change was made in the former method of financing the magazine. That is, $2 from each under­praduate's yearly tax is credited to THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND, thus meeting the cost of setting the issues in type, etc., and this pays for all copies mailed to the undergraduates without regard to the alumni . The $10 life subscription is invested as an endowment fund and earns 5 o/o or 50 cents each per year. This small amount pays for the neces­sary extra copies over and above those needed for the actives.

C'T' HE staff is trying irs best to produce 1 a magazine of real interest to mem­

bers of Pi Kappa Alpha. If rhe maga­zine isn't worth $2 a year, or $10 for life, to you, then let 's call ir quits right now! If you believe you will ger this amount of enjoyment and pleasure from THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND, and if you are interested in rhe news of II K A to this extent, then $10 is a pittance for your magazine.

The year ahead is a convention one. Some important decisions will be made in Memphis. There will be discussion in the magazine pages in advance and full reports afterward.

The staff is already planning next year's issues. As the subscription in­come increases, more and more things are possible. If you think we can main­rain the pace, won't you stick with us? Why not be a " lifer?"

Leading the Party into the Jaws of the M ountain's D eath Trap, John Day Plumbed the Depths of Tahoma's Hiding Places and Brought Fo1'th the Victims of the Indian God's Ange1'-Dead .1

M OUNT RAINIER is a familiar and strikingly beautiful land­mark to the people of the

Northwest, but it can be an awesome place, as John Day, Beta-Beta, has learned.

It towers up over the cities of Ta­coma and Seattle, Wash., in a manner peculiar to mountains in this part of the country and Mount Rainier National Park is a point of interest which tourists and visitors to these cities seldom miss.

One of the features of such a visit is the climb to the summit which over­looks Puget Sound from an elevation of 14,408 feet . Paradise Inn is at the end of the highway into the park. The sum­mit parties leave Paradise between 1 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon and climb to Camp Muir, which is at an elevation of 10,000 feet. After spending the night at Camp Muir, the party starts before daylight and continues the ascent to the summit. The trip is planned so the parry can reach the summit about day-

'The MOUNTAIN 'THA'T WAS

GOD light and return to Paradise in the after­noon of the same day.

John Day, S. M. C. of Beta-Beta chapter of the University of Washing­ton, has been connected with the guide department of the park company dur­ing the vacation months of the past four years. For the last two he has been a summit guide. last summer he parti­cipated in a drama which drew the at­tention of the entire country to the treacherous, glacier-covered slopes of this beautiful peak. He tells the story in a simple but graphic nar~ative. Here ir is in his own words:

"The first summit parry of the year left Paradise and disappeared in the fog . They planned to reach Camp Muir some rime that night and start for the sum­mit from there at 1 or 2 o'clock the following morning. The party was com­posed of one guide, two assistant guides and three others.

A Cover Classic The unique and stri~ing cover of

this issue is contributed by Beta­Beta Chapter at Washington. T a~en on the slopes of Mt. Ranier, the picture shows a view of the great Paradise Glacier as seen from one of the ice caves at the mouth of the glacier. Note the ghastly beauty of the cave interior-and through its mouth the rugged grandeur of the glacier, with Unicorn Pea~ in the bac~ground.

john Day, summit guide for the Ranier National Par~, is at the right with arm extended.

"We had just finished lunch the next day and were sitting around the guide house when suddenly an assistant guide burst into the room. He was covered with sweat and nearly exhausted. Mr. Cunningham, the chief guide, talked with him a moment and then came over to where we were sitting.

" 'Get your shoes on, boys,' he said, 'you're going to the summit.'

"We knew something was wrong, so we hurried into climbing shoes and col­lected parkas, gloves, flashlights and ropes, while the chief ordered lunches from the kitchen. When we were ready the chief said, 'The whole parry is in a crevasse. Day will be in charge. If you need horses or more men, flash three times on the way back and we will meet you. A pack train will bring supplies if you need them. Good luck, boys; there will be men at Panorama Point all night waiting for signals.'

"We rode horses to Camp Muir to save our strength for the last stretch. When the stone shelter cabin at Muir loomed out of the fog I saw Bob Strobel through the open door. He was the assistant guide of the parry that had had the accident. When we questioned him I found that he had come down ahead with two of the parry who were able to walk. He said that the wind had been blowing so strong on the ice cap that on the way down they were literally blown off their feet and into a crevasse.

"He had found a way out and had climbed up the side of the crevasse for 80 feet by cutting steps in the ice. Then he crawled along the lower edge to Gibraltar Rock and made his way down

Page T wo H tmdred Sixty-One

to Camp Muir. The assistant guide who had been left there to clean snow out of the cabins had made the four miles back to the guide house in 40 minutes to bring us the news.

"I found out from Strobel about where he thought the accident had oc­curred, although he was confused as to the exact spot because of the blizzard. As we started up the rocks I saw Brig­ham, the guide in charge, bringing down one more man. Brigham was bad­ly hurt and was staggering over the rocky trail. I learned later rhat he had five broken ribs, some of which were protruding through the flesh. How he managed to bring this man over the steep ice slopes, around the narrow ledge of Gibraltar Trail, and down the steep and crumbling rocks of the Cow­litz Cleaver will always be a. mystery . Anyhow he had done it, and there were only two men left for the rescue parry. They had been unconscious when Brig­ham left and he was unable to help them.

"We started up the cleaver with all possible speed, although we were ham­pered with two wire basket stretchers. It was a race against the sun. We had to get to the crevasse before dark, be­cause darkness would make it doubly difficult to find the men before it was too late to help them. By calling on our endurance to the last ounce we beat darkness by a bare half hour. The bliz­zard had blown itself out and it was clear, although theve was a 40-mile wind blowing and it was bitterly cold.

"We called again and again, but got no reply. Then we saw a trail on the steep slope of the Ingraham Glacier, and about a hundred feet down from the edge of the crevasse an alpen stock was stuck upright in the snow. Far down the lower slopes we saw a black speck at the end of the sliding trail and knew that one of the men had climbed out of the crevasse, lost his balance, and slid to his death.

"The only hope left was the man who was still in the crevasse. We searched the snow for tracks and tried to follow the tracks of the man who had come out, but the snow was hard and it was impossible to tell tracks from the ridges and depressions in the snow made by the wind.

"Finally we discovered what appeared to be the place where the party had fal­len over, so I went down with a rope around my waist. It was dark and I

had to do my searching with a flash­light. I crawled in and around the ice pinnacles and small cracks in the sides and bottom of the great opening, but could find nothing. We tried other places with no better results. Finally I wenr straight down to the bottom of the deepest crack and crawled around for about an hour in every possible direction, but I could find no trace.

" By this time it . was three hours after dark and the men at the top who were snubbing the rope for me were nearly frozen and compeletly exhausted. They had to lower me and pull me up, when I could not climb, by carefully paying our and taking in slack on the life rope. They were kneeling in the snow, un­protected from the wind, and some of them had frozen fingers and toes. After the last fruitless search we were forced to give up.

"The following day we worked our way carefully across the Cowlitz Glacier and up the Ingraham Glacier, recover­ing the body of the man who had slid

from the edge of the crevasse. The other body we found only after searching for three days, during which we made seven trips. We covered nearly every foot · of the crevasse before we found a glove lying in the snow which gave us a clue to where the body lay. The recovery of the body was extremely hazardous be­cause of the ice which had fallen and was still falling in the crevasse. The task of chopping it out of the ice and hoisting it up over the crumbling edges was accomplished only with great effort and no little danger on the part of the rescue party.

"Thus ended another chapter in the history of Tahoma, 'The Mountain That Was God,' as the Indians called it.

"And we, who had climbed those great slopes so many times, caught some­thing of the spirit which made the In­dians worship the mountain and made them fear the terrible anger of Tahoma, who could take a human life so easily and casually."

CRevived by Christopher :Morley, Raise the Stay{~ombed Hair of Gotham's Elite

By RICHARD G. BAUMHOFF, Beta~Lambda. Washington Associate Editor of THB SHIELD AND DIAMOND

W HEN a collector of first edi. tions of a living author reaches a certain point in his hobby,

nothing will satisfy him but a meeting with his hero of the printing press, Many Americans in varied walks of life have become followers of Christopher Morey in the last few years, but comparatively . ew have had the opportunity to en. counter this genial sage in his favorite haunts ,

Guided by the directions of Grand Editor Johnston, who knows his Jersey as well as his Manhartan, the chronicler found his way to Hoboken last autumn, met and talked with Morley and added fuel to the flames of enthusiasm, Now, heeding the suggestion of Associate Edi. tor Pulcipher, we spin the yarn of this adventure, Not that other journalists haven't done the same thing, but there is indeed a widespread interest in this likeable, picturesque, young story-teller, poet, playwright and philosopher.

Born in Haverford, Penn ,, and gradu­ated from Haverford College there in 1910, Morley went ro Oxford as a Rhodes scholar for rhe next rhree years,

for Jllue, 1930

then returned to America, soon ro take up a busy pen. Save for an incredibly rare volume of Oxonian days, The Eightb Sin, his first book was published only 13 years ago, and it was some time later before collectors began seeking his first editions. Now he has definitely en­

·tered a new field, the theater, His Ho-broken stage, first an experiment, then a fad, soon was hailed as a symbol of something or other and now is well es­tablished as what he calls "the last sea­coast of Bohemia," However else he may regard it, and quite apart from the desig­nations others give it, plainly he con­siders it jolly good fun, And so do the people who have been filling the seats,

Fortified by a precious letter from Morley, telling the days when he was usually home to visitors in Hoboken, we left the crowds of Broadway on one of those dreamy, warm autumn days pecu­liar to Gotham, hurtled under ground and under water in the Hudson Tube and emerged in a peaceful, different world- Hoboken. II K A's "went abroad for 6 cencs" at El Paso a year ago and now we had "gone abroad" again for the same sum.

lr was easy to see where River street lay; it stretched northward from the rube station, a row of speak.fairly.easies, cheap hotels and dinky stores on one side and a row of great docks for ocean liners on the other,

A couple of bums emerged from a cor­ner "soft-drink parlor." Said one to the other ('struth): "Jack, I don' like to shee you in thish condishion," Jack was roo tired to answer, The incident by no means indicates that Hoboken is an un­pleasant place for a stranger, but merely shows that certain rumors about the town 's hospitality are not unfounded.

In the next block we looked for 110 River St. The number was missing but a process of deduction rpade it easy enough to find the place-The Foun­dry, headquarters of the Three Hours for Lunch Club and of the Hoboken Theat­rical Co. The Three Hours for Lunch Club, be it said for the uninitiated, started as a group of Morley's cronies but now proposes to enlarge its mem. bership somewhat, and ir is refurbishing rhis ancient ironworks as its home. It furni shed part of the emblem of the

Page T tl'O H1111drecl Sixty-Three

theatrical enterprise-three hour glasses on a shield. In the fourth quarter is a foaming seidel betokening Hoboken.

The dusty old door gave access to a once whitewashed stairway and aloft was the office. There a beautiful but bored black-haired goddess said that Mr. Mor­ley was out now but that if he had said he would be in we could wait across the way. First pausing to examine the rusty hoisting machinery in a well to the lower floor and to gaze on a miscellany of stage props, bill­board posters and the like, we took an old-fashioned g i I t chair in the room "across the way."

What a room!

Finally our hero introduced us to his partner in the theaters, the good-natured, dreamy looking Cleon Throckmorton, and to a young chap also visiting, a youth with experience on newspapers, at sea, on the stage, with news movies and in publicity; likewise an admirer of Morley. We'll forgive Morley for not getting our name straight at first; hardly any one does. His naturalness and cor-

pearance. Our talk covered a wide range: of topics, but centered mostly on the Old Rialto and the Lyric theaters, which the Hoboken company operates. Mor­ley's enthusiasm for dramatic production seemed to be unbounded. Judging frQm his remarks, it has largely superseded, for the time being at least, writing as his vocation.

Scrubbed and dusted, it stood in contrast to the rest of The Foundry. Its carper was a bit threadbare and the furnishings were queer. Plain shelves on the back wall were beginning to fill with an assort­ment of volumes as absorbing in variety as any old book store could offer. Best of all, there stood atop the shelving a brightly c o 1 o r e d,

th·e plays; After Dark, or Neither Maid, Wife nor Widow already had been running for about three-quarters of a year at the first house, the Old Rial­to, and The Black Crook had enjoyed a good run at the Lyric, where it was about to reopen in advance of a pro­posed road tour. The Broadway managers, it was related, had found the Hoboken "venture" a r e a 1 thorn in their sides, taking numerous pat­rons and many dol­lars across the river. Likewise, the influx of v i s i t o r s had caused Hoboken eat­ing places to thrive and become famous.

hand-lettered and embellished "Declar­ation of Independence of the Hoboken Free State." No one can tell us that this document was not written by King Christopher himself. It proclaimed in no uncertain terms the disgust of Hoboken with the unromantic, workaday world and the desirability of the old Teutonic gay spirit. It announced the freedom of this unrecognized sovereignty from hum­drum governments, describing Hoboken as a part or "Germania Irredenta."

Prerry soon the big, jovial form of Morley came upstairs. What timidity we had upon approaching him straight­way fled as lie offered a welcome. Sutely he remembered our letter, and you bet there would be a chance for a chat if we could wait a bit till various matters of business were disposed of. Delighted, we waited, while a workman down be­low made an unearthly clatter removing an old pipe and Morley grinned to hear this progress in the rehabilitation of The Foundry.

diality made up for that.

' 'I'm hungry," he said, "let's go over to Meye.r's and get some lunch."

Now we had lunched within the hour with a Wall street friend (this was be­fore the celebrated market slump) but a chance like this didn't lurk on magazine stands, so we said, "Sure." Down River street the parry strode, each talking a bit but three mostly listening to the remarks of Morley. It might have been Socrates, an aid and two pupils. Around the cor­ner to quiet Hudson street, and we were entering an old-fashioned building, whose corner room had a bar of honor­able descent and big, round, bare. wooden tables presided over by young German waiters in black coats and white aprons. This was Meyer's Hotel, from which the Court had removed a Federal padlock that very morning.

Morley, Throckmorton and the movie youth ordered sizable meals; we took ice cream. On many of the tables there were mugs of amber fluid of historic ap-

We mentioned the slighting remarks about the Hoboken enterprise which had been published in 0. 0. Mcintyre's syn­dicated newspaper colyum. Morley had an explanation for that.

"Odd Mcintyre," he said, "once pub­lished, word for word, a description of a man that I had used in the column I used to run on the New York Post. So I reprinted his and mine in parallel and just added the comment, 'Mr. Mcintyre and I must have seen the same thing'."

The reopening of Meyer's Hotel called for some comment and brought the re­mark from Morley that Hoboken had been defamed by the broadcast tales about the refreshments of the hostelries. And he expatiated on the advantages of Hoboken as a place to dwell, for re­markable quiet and peace in spite of the metropolitan bustle all about it, for pleasant, old dwellings and cheap rents, for interesting spots reminiscent of an older and different day, and for the vis­tas of New York across the Hudson.

THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND

He said nothing, however, about remov­ing his home from Long Island!

Morley paid the check all around and then Throckmorton excused himself. To our delight and that of the other pilgrim, Morley offered to show us the theaters . First, the Old Rialto, once the home of burlesque. If a structure may be said to have flavor this house has it. Anti­sepsis and the not infrequent presence of tuxedo-clothed gentlemen and bare­backed ladies in the plush seats have not robbed the quaint walls and fixtures of their character.

The auditorium was dark and two aaors were running through their parts on the bare stage. They were the first of a score of persons in the two theaters that afternoon to greet Morley with a respeaful "Mister" but with an obvious tone of affection. Every one who has heard much about the Old Rialto has heard of its ancient asbestos curtain orna­mented with classical figures to which has been added the shield with the hour glasses and the seidel. We promptly asked to see it, so Morley had one of the actors ring it down.

"Glad to, Mr. Morley," said this chap; "I haven't seen it myself yet from that side."

Well, the curtain was all it was cracked up to be. We could even see the peep­hole, where grease paint had seeped through for generations, as thespians "counted up the house." Morley was like a boy as he admired that fireproof screen again for the steenth time.

Through a rear exit Morley showed us the tiny yard which he hopes to fix up some day as an entrance to a green room, where laymen and stage men can meet. It is his wish to revive various colorful traditions like this, as well as to restore to life interesting plays of a bygone era like the melodramatic After Dark and the fanciful Black Crook. From the yard it was possible to see a neighboring speakeasy, according to our guide.

Next we journeyed through the dark and dusty cellar of the theater, to see some relics of scenery that went with the place, and which may yet prove useful. Emerging in the lobby, the party en­countered Business Manager Colling, with whom Morley discussed the propet' place to hang a tablet in memory of Dion Boucicault, author of After Dark .

Strolling down the street, we reached the Lyric Theater, to find rehearsals for The Black Crook under way. Again there was a dark auditorium, but the ~rage glittered under a single huge incan­descent bulb. A dark-haired actress of

for June, 1930

striking countenance was showing a sweet-faced blond the "business" con­nected with a song; it was a try-out for a part. They were in street clothes but the fair-haired one gave a laughable flip to her skirts at the proper moment in the chorus. It was the old ditty, T a Ra Ra Boom De Ay, interpolated in the show; the lilt of the chorus as we try to hum it still reminds us of that scene. There was a thumping piano, going over the notes time and again, and the voices were faint, since emphasis was being placed on movements.

Scattered about the front seats and the back of the stage, their faces glowing strangely from the light, were a score of young women of the ballet. They wore the typical chorus girl's rehearsal togs­rompers, swimming suits and the like.

One diminutive ballet girl eventually climbed over a box and onto the stage, clapped hands and assembled her mates. "Places for the second act number!" she called. Her face was a study as well as a picture, for it was baffling in its racial origin. Morley explained that she had recently been promoted from a place in the ballet because of her talent; she was a Hoboken girl of some European par­entage, perhaps Bohemian.

A chap in overalls and cap came down the aisle.

"Hello, Mr. Morley," he said. "Hel1o, Henny," Morley replied. " Is that "Henny who gives us lights'?"

we asked. . Morley answered that it was, adding

that we must have been studying up on Hoboken. "Henny" is the company's electrician. Morley's prologue to After Dark had begun:

"Lights, Henny? And then Henny gives us lights To illustrate our new Hoboken

Nights." Back of the boxes and adjoining an

aisle, Morley pointed out the hot cubby­hole used by the producers to observe the show when The Black Crook first opened there.

"Throck and I had to squeeze in that hole," he related. "Gosh! It was hot. We thought the show never would end."

In passing, it is interesting to note the changed attitude of the public towards T b<: Black Crook. Because, when it ap­peared originally some time back in the Nineteenth Century, it featured chorus ladies in tights it gained a reputation of naughtiness. In reality it is a delightful fairy tale. No modern dancer can com­pare, however, with the hour-glass form that her predecessors had.

We returned towards The Foundry with Morley and the movie youth, talk­ing of the changes that had been wrought in Hoboken to everybody's surprise by the theatrical revival. Morley spoke of the plans to send out road companies and of the need for emissaries from the Hoboken Free State to spread the Word. We nominated ourselves Consul at St. Louis, though not believing that King Christopher remembered our name. That thought was dispelled when the time came for good-by.

"It's Dick, isn't it?" Morley asked. Here might be a good place to end

the narrative, but there was a sequel the next night when we returned to Ho­boken to see After Dark . Morley wasn't there, but the drama was great fun. Many readers have heard how the audi­ences converse with the cast. That night was no exception. The hero was urged on to bigger and nobler things, the hero­ine cautioned 'gainst danger, the deep­dyed villain was hissed roundly and the spectacular rescue of the hero from the tracks of the Lackawanna Tunnel was cheered to the echo.

In the past, some audiences had been too demonstrative, so the character man stepped out between acts to urge the cus­tomers not to throw money and other objects at the singers. What started out as seemingly part of the sport proved to be excessive boisterousness on the part of one man and he was escorted away by an usherette and a Hoboken cop .

The growth of interest in the writing and activities of Christipher Morley has been phenomenal. He has not ceased writing altogether, as a new volume of his is about to be published. It is to be hoped that he will find time to keep his prolific pen going as well as to di­rect plays. Already he has something like 50 volumes to his credit, to say nothing of numerous prefaces, leaflets, magazine articles, book reviews and other forms of publication. Many per­sons reasonably familiar with his works are surprised to learn the great extent of his bibliography. Some of the items, like Two Fables, a pair of translations, and H ostages to Fortune, a collection of writings in Haverford College days, are not well known. Quite a number, like Conrad and the Reporters, The Story of Ginger Cubes, Paumanok and others are in limited editions.

The chronicler has had great joy in collecting Morley "firsts" and is still on the scent of some. Can some kind II K A tell us where to find An Apology for Boccaccio or The Eighth Sin?

TH E SHI ELD AND DIAMOND

WHEN the balmy month of M{ly transforms Philadelphia from a

six.month nightmare of rain and mud into a place of beauty and a joy for. ever, a young man's fancy is apt to turn from thoughts of higher education to lighter subjects .

But to Thomas Henry Johnston , Jr. , Beta.Pi 's lanky Confederate S. M. C., it was a time to demonstrate to the world what resulted when a II K A from the University of Pennsylvania School of Fine Ans and an opportunity were brought together. After many '"charettes, " which to the initiated means an all night vigil over the draft­ing board, a design answering the 1929 Cope Prize problem was completed and submitted to the judges. When they had made their final decision, Johnston had won the first prize of $100.

Each spring the T Square Club of Philadelphia conducts the Walter Cope Memorial Prize competition in architec­ture. The competition for the Cope prizes is open in general to students of architecture and unlicensed architects re. siding within 25 miles of the center of Philadelphia.

Walter Cope, a quarter of a century ago, was one of Philadelphia's most suc­cessful architects, successful both fi_ nancially as well as professionally. There were twenty candidates for the prize last May. The judges for the 1929 Cope award were Paul P. Cret, John Harbe. son, William Hough, George Howe and Robert R. McGoodwin, all of Philadel. phia. Mr. Cret and Mr. Harbeson are associated with the University of Penn. sylvania School of Fine Arts. Mr. Cret is the Chairman of the Design Staff and

signing the World Fair Exposition Build. ings in Chicago. Mr. McGoodwin also is an authority on residential architecture.

The problem consisted of planning a city b lock surrounded by four streets, none of them main thoroughfares, to contain 30 houses and each to contain a single car garage in the basement. It was proposed to have the garage face the street thus doing away with the garage ' driveway usually at the back of such developments .

At the rear of the houses usually given

up to the ga rage drive a community garden space was to be arranged, with a playground for small chi ldren with its sand pile and wading pool. Immediately back of each house was to be a small flower garden.

Johnston's prize-winning design was of Spanish architecture, with shining stucco walls and contrasting red tile roof. Because of its superior excellence and the fact that it was drawn by a Southern boy this design was on dis­play at the Architectural Exposition at Memphis, Tenn ., during the past sum. mer.

Johnston is 23 years old and hails from Corinth, Miss. His father, Thomas Henry Johnston, Sr., is a former judge and is now county attorney. The rising young architect was graduated from Cor. inch High School in 1924 and later spent two years in Mississippi Agricul. ture and Mechanical College before en­tering the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1926 he was initiated into Beta-Pi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha and last spring was made president of the chap-ter. - 11 K A -

Lifers Floc~ to Bargain Counter W HO says college alumni are too

sophisticated to know a bargain when they see one?

A life subscription to THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND at a grand to_tal cost of only $1 0, beats anything George lvey in his Charlotte, N . C., department store can offer in his bargain basement.

George Winder, Alpha-Tau, hits the nail on the head when he writes, with his check, "In paying ten dollars for a life subscription I feel that I got a bargain. It will certainly be agreeable to have it come for the rest of my life without my having the bother of resub­scribing. I expect to keep it coming

for at least sixty more years so the cost per copy will be very slight." Interest does it, George, so you can't fool the business manager!

And here's Ed Weatherdon, Alpha­U psi/on, crack pilot for the Colonial Airways and holder of several airplane speed records, who says that time flies so fast he forgot his three year sub had expired and enclosed ten berries (U. S. brand) to get it off his mind forever.

Are advenising men shrewd judges of publications? When George N. Gladding, Alpha-Nu, who convinces manufacturers in Detroit that the St. Louis Post Dispatch is the best news­paper in the world, flops down his own $1 0 there must be something to it. An­other prominent Detroiter, Real Estater Paul E. Gringle, Gamma-Z eta, thinks so too.

Back from the Canal Zone comes Capt. M. S. Johnson, Beta-Beta, of the Engineers Corps of the U. S. Army, and one of his first acts after getting an address in the Rock Island, Ill ., Federal Building, (no, not jail) , is to send in his ten bucks.

New Mexico? Sure, Ed Wahlstrom, Be ta-U psi/on, geologist from Colorado and the oil fields in Texas, makes a

strike in Carlsbad, N. M., and asks to be put on the list at $10 a put. James Wallace, Beta:Delta, a native of the same town, wants the magazine, too.

Old Mexico? Sam Grogan, Alpha­Omicron, is down there and he wants to keep his eye on what's going on up here even while he is chief geologist for the Mexican Gulg Oil Co.

From oil, bounce to rubber for Law­rence Bitter, Alpha-Rho, of the Mo­hawk Rubber Co., in Akron, 0., wants to be counted in and his check has no rebound.

Speaking of Ohio, here's a college business manager, B. F. Renken, Alpha­Rho, of Kent College who says, after getting his first copy, "I just want you to know that I appreciate greatly the efforts of you and your staff in getting out a better SHIELD AND DIAMOND.

From Grand Princeps Perez's home town, comes this word from C. M. Barnes, Jr., Alpha-Nu, "I am exceed­ingly glad that I got my life subscrip­tion into your office in time to get all the issues of the new model magazine. It is beyond doubt the finest publica­tion in our line being printed at the present time." Another New Orleans man, Wallace Hay, Eta, also keeps in touch with Pi Kap affairs through the magazine.

Ray Boller, Beta-Eta, says "it's an event in my life to find The Shield and Diamond in the morning mail" and sends his $10. Boller is with the East­hom-Melvin Co., Chicago, and has been for several years treasurer of the Beta­Eta House Building Corp., which re­cently built a handsome new chapter house at Illinois.

Dr. Robert H. Lafferty, Beta, had his picrure in the Shield and Diamond so much (he's the. big flower and X-ray man in Charlotte, N . C.) that $10 let him off easy. George P. Harris, Alpha­Alpha, is another Charlotte man to join the party. One of his chapter mates, J. R. Smith, now a furniture manufac­turer at Mr. Airy, N . C., says : "Me, roo."

And so on down the list. These names have been picked at random from the last fifty subscribers. Name your state and we can produce a man who knows a bargain when he sees one. How about you? That makes it personal. A.re you on the Shield and Diamond list for life? More than 4,000 are! Why not join them?

It's the heavy weight on their respective watch chains for with the Easter season, the important brothers who tell the chapters what's what and how's how blossomed out with. their new insignia of office.

The El Paso convention authorized the presentation of these tokens to District

SIT'TTN' PRETTY! WE'LL SAY! tt;om Clifton, the Luc~y Lad, Falls Right Into a Leading Role with His Own

Leading Lady Playing Opposite in Cincinnati U Musical Comedy

PAGE Mr. Ziegfeld! The University of Cincinnati's an­

nual musical comedy, "Sittin' Pretty," was staged at the Erlanger Grand Opera House the week of April 22. This event has become an entertainment spectacle of great interest to Southern Ohio and opening night always witnesses the presence of many prominent people.

The plot of this year's comedy had a most unique background-a floating University. And we leave to your own imagination the many interesting things that might-and do-happen on this cruise.

The show was written,

acted and managed by

University students­about 100 in the cast. A pro­

fessional was engaged to direct the show, and lavish costumes and settings were designed by outsiders.

Some 300 students responded for the first tryout. After a week of dropping, cutting, and anihilating the cast was selected ; sixty comely coeds and forty men. And eight of the aforesaid men were II K A's, with Tom Clifton as male lead.

To add the romantic tinge to the comedy, Miss Mildred Eichert, Kappa Kappa Gamma, a most beautiful and talented young lady, was selected as

He was elected to every undergraduate honorary fraternity at th..: university: Ball and Chain, Ulex, and Sigma Sigma. Especially active in the University Y. M. C. A., Clifton has been successively cabinet member, secre­tary, and president of the local Student "Y." It was only a few weeks ago that Clifton gave a dedicatory address at the opening of the University's new $400,000 Y. M. C. A. building.

The dedication took place under the chairmanship of Harry C. Anderson, Alpha-Xi.

Under the guidance of its president, Tom Clif-ton, the Y. M.

of the most active organizations on the

campus. Included among its services besides those purely religious and social are the publication of a sru­dent handbook, the location of student rooms, fraternity visitation and voca­tional guidance.

The new building is a gift of Mrs. David Gamble and her three sons, phil­anthropists well known in Cincinnati. Half of the gift or $200,000, has been spent in erecting the new building and the other half has been allotted as gen. era! endowment for the Y. M. C. A.

For four years Clifton has been one of the leading lights in Mummers, student dramatics organization. After representing his sophomore and junior classes in student council, this year he is student council treasurer.

Then there are the many student con­ferences to which it always seems Clif­ton 's fortune to be sent when the Cin­cinnati representatives are selected. Tom is seen more often with a grip in his hand than with books-either just re-

, turning or leaving for some convention.

DIS'TRIC'T PRINCEPS for a DECADE One of Pi Kappa Alpha's Most Distinguished District Officers Outlines the

Possibilities of Service to His Chapters and to the National Body

By GEORGE B. MARSH, Alpha-Omicron, Southwestern

(7"! HERE are ten years of my life . l.:Jwhich I shall always recall with

pleasure. They are the decade just b_ehind me, the ten years ' service as a District Princeps .

During this period many changes have taken place in the territorial dis­tribution of the fraternity's districts and in the personnel of the District Prin­ceps. At the time of my appointment in 1919 the fraternity map comprised thirteen districts, the district over which I was appointed being No. 8. This was composed of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, which states contained three ac. rive chapters, Alpha-Omicron and Beta­Zeta in Texas and Beta-Delta in New Mexico.

Prior to the New Orleans convention, I do not believe that the importance of the district officers was felt. I doubt if the chapters in the various districts were visited regularly. It is a fact that the active chapters in District No. 8 had not been so honored. There had never been a district convention. It is small won­der that there was little in common, ex­cept in the desire to see the district ex­pand. There were two institutions where for a long time it had been desired we should have chapters. These were the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma.

Many efforts and plans had been made by the brothers in Texas to consumate their desires for an active chapter at Texas. Ever since the installation of Alpha-Omicron in 1910, this thought had been uppermost, but the chapter roll had reached Beta-Lambda before the dream was realized. Since there was no desirable local fraternity on the campus at Austin, colonization was necessary. With the indispensable assistance of Theodore Belmont, Zeta, director of athletics, and Brother Payne, U psi/on, professor of English at the University of Texas, a group of Pi Kaps was formed for the purpose of petitioning for a charter. Thanks to the wisdom of the Supreme Council, this group was granted a charter and installed, shortly before the New Orleans convention, as Beta-Mu. I mention these details, be-

cause I think the formation of Beta-Mu chapter was unique. So far as I know, it is the only one of the chapters all of whose chapter members belonged to Pi Kappa Alpha at the time of the in. stallation, so the problem presented to the Grand Princeps and the District Princeps was a rare one.

Brother Perez no doubt will remem­ber the installation ceremony, which took place, I b-t'!lieve, in the Appellate

Court, in the State Capitol. A very imposing locale for the installation of this new chapter! Quite fitting perhaps, since many of the brothers were students in the law school. Thus Beta-Mu was the baby chapter at the New Orleans convention .

The other desire of District Eight was realized a little later, for the local at the University of Oklahoma had convinced the new Supreme Council, elected at New Orleans, of irs worth, and it was installed as Beta-Omicron . It was a source of great regret to me that I could not be present at its installation, since I had been so favorably impressed by the personnel of the group at the time of its inspection . A District Princep~ al­ways desires to see. a chapter installed

which he has recommended so earnest­ly. My going to California that year took me out of District Eight.

There is one thing which impresses a District Princeps on his first visit to Beta-Delta. This is the meeting place of the chapter. Without exception, I

· believe Beta-Delta has the most unique chapter hall in our fraternity. I allude to the Estufa. I shall never forget my first visit there and the warm welcome I received. There was an atmosphere of secrecy and security in the chapter meet­ing there which I have not experienced anywhere. I believe the Estufa was very instrumental in building up a strong group spirit in Beta-Delta. Cer­tainly I have seen few chapters which gave evidence of a like characteristic. True, there might have been moments when the feeling of rivalry between Beta-Delta and the chapter of Sigma Chi at New Mexico gre.:V too intense. Yet this feeling was sportsmanlike, and, in the main, beneficial, although it may not have been so good for the Sigma Chi goat, whose skin was gracing the interior of the Estufa when I first visited Beta­Delta. This important spoil was given the place of honor among many other odd trophies collected from unusual places. I believe that the prompt re­turn of an old ceremonial ladder (thanks to the persuasion of an indul­gent Sheriff) averted a small up-rising of a Navajo tribe.

Shortly after going to California, I was pleased to be appointed District Princeps of the then District No. 13, which comprised California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. If old District Eight was large, this new territory was immense! Fortunately the Supreme Council was soon convinced of · the unwieldy size of this district. Surely the vouchers of the District Princeps for inspection trips were quite convincing! The district was changed to contain only California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, an empire in itself. However, there were at first but two chapters to visit : Alpha-Sigman and Alpha-Tau.

The obvious purpose of the district officer was to canvass the territory for

THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND

expansion, which was most ferrite. The .first impression of any one visiting the colleges and universities of the Far West is of their size and rapid growth. The large student bodies offer fertile ground for new chapters. These conditions im­pressed me greatly.

The most desirable places for new chapters were Los Angeles, Logan, Utah and Tucson, Ariz. The history of my service as District Princeps in the West deals mainly with the investigation and development of locals for chapterhood in Pi Kappa Alpha. The problem at Logan was a simple one, once the col­lege authorities opened the doors to

national fraternities. The important locals at Utah Agricultural Colleges were strong organizations of more than 15 years' standing. With rwo of the most important groups sending informal petitions, the situation was at first a delicate one. Fortunately, since one group tactfully decided to withdraw, the installation of Gamma-Epsilon was only a marrer of time. The pleasant dury of assisting in this ceremony fell to the lot of the new Princeps of the Rocky Mountain district, for Utah was placed in chis territory after the Sr. Louis convention.

At the St. Louis convention I had rec­ommended the following institutions as desirable places for chapters: The Uni­versiry of California at Los Angeles (formerly called the Southern Branch), the Universiry of Southern California, Los Angeles; and the Universiry of Arizona, Tuscon. Berween this con­vention and the Adanta convention those in District No. 17 were pleased to

see the. installation of chapters in rwo of the above institutions, Gamma-Delta ar Arizona and Gamma-Era at U . S. C., the last group being the baby chapter of the Atlanta convention. Representation at the Universiry of California at Los Angeles is still the desire of District No. 17. That it may be realized is the hope of all the brothers who know anything of this institution.

There are several things which are prominent in my recollections of the nine years in District No. 13 and No. 17. The difference in the character of Alpha-Sigma, Alpha-Tau, Gamma-Del­ta and Gamma-Eta, rhe impressions gained from visiting these chapters, are guite distinct. These are the result, in parr, of the difference in the institutions, for the campus life of the Universiry of Utah, the University of California, the University of Southern California and the Universiry of Arizona is guite dis-

similar; their traditions are poles asun­der. The rwo older chapters, Alpha­Sigma and Alpha-Tau, were the stabiliry of the district ; the one dominated Cali­fornia as the other ruled Utah. Alpha­Sigma was the model of the present Dis­trict 17. It furnished the initiation team for the installation of Gamma-Delta, and the manner in which Brothers Shel­ton and McCarthy worked were a mar­\·el to both Brother Perez and me.

The very strength and size of Alpha­Sigma almost became inimical ro its life. During a short period the danger of a large chapter was demonstrated, as a division in the ranks became marked, so marked in fact that the ef­forts of the alumni and the District Prin­ceps were needed to smoothe over the difficulties. The benefits of this trying

1\. TO other District Princeps has .I 't served Pi Kappa Alpha as long as George B. Marsh, ALPHA­

OMICRON. He held two important district posts for a period of 10 years with distinction. His recol­lections of that service, published here, are of much interest, and his comments and recommendations concerning the mpervision of the fraternity are of real value.

Marsh was born of American parents in Monterey, Mexico, 36 years ago and educated at South­western Univ ersity, Georgfltown, Tex., getting his A . B. there in 1913. The University of Cali­fornia gave him the Master's de­gree in 1921 and his Ph. D . in 1928.

He began his career as a teacher at the high school in Belton, Tex ., in 1913 and he had charge of the modern language department of Southwest Texas State Teachers' College, San Marcos, from 1915 to 1921 . Dt~~•ing the World War he was personnel adjutant of the S. A. T . C. at San Antonio, Tex. F1·om 1921 to last summer he was a member of the Spanish depart­ment of the University of Califor­nia at Berkeley.

In September he became assist­an professor of Spanish at Wash­ington University, St. Louis. He was appointed District Princeps for Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico in 1919 and when he moved to California he was made District Princeps of the Far West-ern territory.

period were seen in the increased inter­e t of the alumni . Indeed, the only time Alumnus Alpha-Beta has demonstratt!d undue vitality was during the period when it seemed Alpha-Sigma was to suffer because of its leaders, who were too numerous for the good of the chap­ter.

Always great interest is manifested among the alumni when there is a crisis or some policy is to be promulgated about which there is a great difference of opinion. The first was demonstrated in Utah, when, after the New Orleans convention, the Grand Princeps and the District Princeps visited Alpha-Tau, at which time the alumni gathered with an earnestness of purpose which, it is doubtful, has been repeated . And a critical srorm was weathered. The sec­ond was exemplified in the sudden rist and growth of Alumnus Beta-Alpha at Los Angeles. This chapter has become one of the most active of our alumnus groups . It is doubtful if irs growth would have been so pronounced, had there been no problem of expansion in District 17. The impetus for its remark­able activiry has been the vital interest shown in expansion. The effective func­tioning and vitality of Alumnus Beta­Alpha are remarkable. It would not be amiss ro state rhar this alumnus chapter can serve as a model for others. Its in­terest is kept alive by rhe desire to im­prove the prestige of Pi Kappa Alpha in southern California; the means of ac­complishing this often finds great dif­ference of opinions. Differences of opin­ion have been very beneficial to the growth of fraterniry interest in the Far West. The District Princeps has been aware of this .

The trips of inspections and ro and from conventions have been very pleas­ant. Whether it was ro meet a new circle of brothers in New Mexico, in Utah, in California, or returning from conven­tions, the associations have always been refreshing and enjoyable. Those who were returning West, after the St. Louis convention will remember the pleasure of the trip west of Kansas City. The good humored raillery of the representa­tive whom the Denver Universiry local (later Gamma-Gamma) had sent to the convention; the dire threats if he did not wire ahead ro have the streets of Denver swept free of snow! I am sure former Grand Alumnus Secretary Lam­bert, Brother Christopherson from Utah, on a honeymoon trip with his bride, and the delegates from the Utah, Colorado and California chapters enjoyed the has-

pitality of the local at Denver Univer­sity as well as I.

·The picture of District Princeps Fen­

ton at the El Paso convention, faith­fully followed about the streets of

Juarez by a blaring, discordant band, whose efforts were enthusiastically ex­

pended for the munificent recompense of 25 cents the concert! This remains as

an example of conscientious, musical ef­

fort-one of the many recollections of the last convention.

The serious lesson taken away from

El Paso was the conviction of the impor­tance of the District Princeps, of their

power for good in helping to thrash out

problems together and crystallize opin­ion for efficient service. It is my opinion

more good was accomplished by the few meetings these officers had than in any number of conferences at other times. For out of one of these gatherings evolved the idea of the meeting of all Grand Officers and District Princeps, in the interim between conventions and the realization of a need for more uni­formity in the management of chapter finances, which found results later in by­laws covering these points.

From now on, scarcely can it be gain­said that the efficient distribution of power among the District Princeps will tend to bear out the efficiency of the or­ganization of our fraternity. Each con­vention since that at New Orleans has shown a progress in the consciousness of the functions and powers of the District Princeps, until now the fraternity will look to them as being responsible for the betterment and growth of the active chapters. It is the District Princeps who knows, or should know, the district best. He it is who should be praised if the district prospers or blamed if it should suffer. His service should be a pleas­ure . . I, for one, have always felt that I should rather be a District Princeps than a grand officer·. Perhaps it is this feeling which made the 10 years of serv­ice in this capacity so pleasant, this and the many contacts with active members all over the Southwest and Far West.

CT' HE twenty-fourth annual Easter 1 cotillion of Alpha-Epsilon chapter,

North Carolina State College, was held at Frank Thompson Memorial Gym­nasium, Raleigh, on April 21. Local newspapers referred to it as the "out­standing collegiate entertainment of the spring season."

The event has come to be known as the "Pika Dance." All other fraterni­ties of the college, neighboring chapters of II K A and a number of other young men of North Carolina were invited. The gymnasium was decorated elabor­ately in garnet and gold, with a canopy overhead, draperies on the balconies and stairways and clusters of evergreen and pine. The music was furnished by Russ Bolin 's "Ohio Cotton Pickers."

Members of Alpha-Epsilon and their young women guests participated i~ a figure on the dance floor in which the letters "II K A" were formed. The ladies wore corsages of lilies of the valley, the fraternity flower, and garnet­colored sweetpeas. The leaders of the figure were Allie P. Baggett, S. M. C., and Miss Florence Briggs of Raleigh, assisted by John B. Gray and Miss Mary Alice Huxford of Mobile, Ala., and

Tom Stuart and Miss Mabel Monroe of Sanford, N. C.

The ball was a notable social event in the Raleigh district. On the same day a four-day house party began at the Alpha-Epsilon house under the chaper­onage of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. S. Noble, Jr. , and Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Park. The young women guests at the house were entertained at a midnight dinner fol­lowing the cotillion. Favors were pre­sented at the dinner, at which the deco­rations were in garnet .and gold.

On Jan. 15 the Mothers' Club sponsored an open house and during the afternoon 350 guests called. They also presented the chapter with curtains and drapes for the front rooms.

THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND

Convention Approves N_ew S. C9' D. CT' HE biennial convention of District 1 No. 7 was held at .the Beta-Eta

chapter house at Champaign, Ill., the week-end of March 22 and 23. Each of the four active chapters in the district was represented by two delegates, Flores and Beauchamp, Beta-Eta; Swisher and Kincaid, Beta-Omega; Beckman and Kugler, Beta-Phi; and J. E. Thayer and Walkley, Beta-Tau.

The convention went on record as favoring an annual district convention as a means of fostering a better spirit of cooperation among the various chap­ters in each district.

Each of the delegates presented a re­port to the convention on subjects that are vital to the welfare of all chapters. Following each of the repotts, covering such subjects as rushing and pledging, general campus activities, scholarship, effective chapter organization, chapter house financing and management, and expansion, all of the delegates partici­pated in a general discussion of ea~h of the subjects. By this interchange of tdeas a great deal that should be helpful to the chapters was passed on to them through their delegates.

There was rather an extended dis­cussion following the repott on expan­sion. All of the chapters, through the delegates, voiced their approval of the present expansion program, recommend­ing that it should continue to be a cau­tious one, entering only recognized and well established colleges and universi­ties, particularly in the east and north­east where Pi Kappa Alpha are practi­cally without representation. A resolu­tion to be presented to the next biennial national convention changing the pres­ent method of procedure in voting upon prospective chapters was defeated.

A delegation was appointed by the convention to visit Beta Omega Chap­ter at lombard College and repott to the District Princeps regarding general conditions at the institution.

The convention went on record as favoring the recent changes in THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND and highly ap­proving the subject matter and method of publication.

Beta Tau Chapter at the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor was selected as host for the 1932 District Conven­tion.

The names of two active alumni to succeed District Princeps Carl H. Mor­genstern, who desires to resign, were

for J11ne, 1930

approved by the convention to be pre­sented to the next national convention.

On Saturday evening, March 22, Beta-Eta entertained the delegates with a very successful informal dance at the chapter house. During one of the inter­missions two of the brothers from Beta­Eta entertained the guests with a very amusing tap dance.

Youngest Sports Editor

SHIELD AND DIAMOND editors may feel that the chapter M. S. will

never make journalists judging from the chapters news articles turned in by some of the freshman and sophomores ap-pointed to these places, but occa­sionally a budding writer crops up. The subject of this article hap­pens to be the ex­ception.

When the S. M. C. of Alpha­Eta (Florida) ap­pointed Dill o n Graham to wri te Dillon G1·aham

the chapter news, he did so because that was the only man he figured he could unload it on. Graham was "cussed" for the poor material he turned in for the magazine more than the usual chap­ter correspondent, owing to the fact that he was a freshman. Now while the fellows who did the most kicking are dumfounded by the phenomenal suc­cess in the journalistic world of the low­ly frosh of 1926, the writer is sitting back thumbing his suspenders and say­mg " I told you so."

Graham has just been made spotts editor of the Associated Press, covering sport news originating in eleven South­ern states and spends most of the time rambling about covering the bigger spotts events scheduled in these states. H e is now looking forward to next foot­ball season, when he will make an early training period tour to most Dixie schools for stories and a chance to meet brothers. Over your bacon and eggs next fall you will get your reports on Southern football from the trusty Rem­ington of Brother Dillon lorentus Gra­ham. This will be carried everywhere A. P. serves newspapers.

He spent most of the winter covering golf. He handled the Savannah and Augusta open tournaments in Georgia in which Bobby Jones, national open champion, was entered. He wrote a running story on Jones, describing every stroke. Here he met most of the promi­nent pros, arranging interviews with Horton Smith, AI Espinosa, et al.

Graham has had one of the most ra­pid rises with the A. P. of any man in the history of that organization. A little over a year ago, he was the youngest ciry editor in Florida, then working on the Gainesville Sun.

OLD lOT A IN 'THE GAY NtN.E'TIES With Vivid Pen and Remar~able Memory, On.e of Pi Kappa Alpha's Most

Famous Sons S~etches the Men of Iota When He Was Initiated in I 889

By J. GRAY McALLISTER, Iota, Hampden-Sydney

W ELL, perhaps they were gay, those famous nineties- but gay in spots. And at Iota, as else­

where, the grave and the gay, with all shades between, make up the landscape of the years.

Consider how grave an experience it was to get from Farmville, the station on the C. & 0 . Railroad, to Hampden­Sydney in those days, for the college was (and is) seven miles in the coun­try. Walker Cralle, the colored hack­driver, met us at the train, and two full hours were needed to make the journey over.

When I think of that road and the load of boys and trunks I marvel at the speed. The present generation, with high-powered cars and over good roads, makes the seven miles in fifteen minutes.

But I balance this experience with the gracious hospitality that awaited even freshmen at the college and certain lone­some days that followed with the fine times we spent in the chapter room of lora, on the first passage of the simple and somewhat stately Cushing Hall of Hampden-Sydney. My brother, Joseph T. McAllister, had graduated there in the class of 1889, yielding in his senior year particularly, quite valuable service to Pi Kappa Alpha. This paved the way for me, I assume, and I became a member soon after entering college in the fall of 1890.

I found in the chapter, then and later, a congenial group of fellows . Union Theological Seminary, since moved to

Richmond, Va., was located on an ad­joining campus all through the nineties and a half dozen seminities helped to bring up our chapter roll to nearly or quite twenty, all that could comfortably find place in the chapter room.

We had choice spirits among these men from across the way. I recall the earnest and forceful C. L. Altfather, one of Theta's men; the lovable E. M. Craig, who died at Hickory, N. C., about two years ago; the courteous Wallace T. Palmer, Theta, who has rendered fine service through the years and now lives at Clarksburg, W . Va.; the loyal R. C. Gilmore, the best dressed man at the

seminary, now living in Sanford, N . C.; the quiet and elequent F. E. Robbins, winner of the senior orator's medal, Hampden-Sydney, in 1890, and dying in Texas in the midst of his years and usefulness, a dozen years ago.; the big, gentle Holmes Ralston, who won our admiration by his service as a cow-boy in the great west and our love by the

J GRAY McALLISTER, D . D., • L.L.D., Litt. D ., theologian

and educator, former Grand Secre­tary of Pi Kappa Alpha, is one of the fraternity' s most fluent orators and gifted writers. H e was a freshman of Iota Chapter at the beginning of the gay nineties and the men he writes of so charm­ingly and vividly in this article are pictured in the rare old photo­graph of Iota, taken in 1890, fac­ing this page.

Bom in Covington, Va. in 1872, f. Gray McAllister followed his brother, Joseph T. McAllister, into Iota and H ampden-Sydney College in the fall of 19QO. H e was graduated with honors in 1894 and later was •the first win ­ner of the H oge Memorial Fellow­ship . · H e was a newspaper editor for several years and in 1903 was o1·dained a Presbyterian minister. In 1905 he became president of Hampden-Sydney, a position he held fo1' three yea1·s.

He is now profesS01' of English Bible and Biblical inst1·uction at Union Theological Seminary, Rich­mond, Va.

love he gave us in full measure, a Great­heart who went to his reward in the fall of 1924.

Well I remember the clear-cut John Miller Wells, another affiliate from Theta, the best sprinter on either campus, hard student, successful pastor, efficient president of Columbia Theo­logical Seminary, South Carolina, and now a beloved pastor in Sumter, in that state; the genial Henry A. Young, re­ported dead in the records, but very much alive in Higginsville, Mo. ; the modest Clement C. Owen, a medical

missionary who died in Kwangjie, Korea, in April, 1909; the friendly W . T. Walker, whose rank is among those who serve; and the chivalrous Theron H . Rice (Theta again), eloquent, win­some, golden-hearted, called to great churches and giving the best years of his life, up to his death in 1922, to Union Theological Seminary in Rich­mond.

Some one said of Chesterfield that " he was a wit among lords and a lord among wits." One could say of Theron H. Rice that he was every inch a prince. Who that knew him in fraternity days could ever forget his noble bearing (six feet and over) , his playful humor, his ringing laughter, his deep rich voice suited like string to bow, to the guitar he played so well? To see him was to think more of human nature. To be near him was a gracious benediction, and to love him (quoting another) was a liberal education.

These were the men who added much to the fraternity and subtracted not a whit from the whole-hearted fellowship of the years from 1890 to 1894. They were alumni or affiliates from other chapters. The active members of Iota I found equally as interesting. Some of them (like J. Kirkland Hill, of Maxton, N . C., G . A. Alexander, Chas. B. Moore, Edward D . Moore, Jr., all dead now) I knew bur slightly. But I knew Hinton Rolston, now a farmer in the valley of Virginia, and then voted the best foot­ball player in college. And Harry Ervin, now of Baltimore and then voted the thinnest man in college. And Frank F. Jones, of Staunton, Va., who shook like Saint Nick when roused by a funny joke or ludicrous situation.

And Howard Swinefore, of Drewny's Bluff, near Richmond, who once told me of some one who had "crawled into an acquaintance. " And W. J . Gillespie, of Tazewell, Va., who knew more about fine carrie than a professor did about his subject. And Sidney Higginbotham, lawyer of the same town, who had more than his share of good looks and good nature . And Randolph Jones, now su­perintendent of Public Schools in El

Paso, Texas, who used to sleep sound­est flat on his stomach.

And Irving Jordan, of Danville, Va., of winsome bearing and address. And Fred Robbins (brother of Frank), a true son of the west and now a ranch owner at Matagorda, Texas. And J. Wm. Basore, now Dr. Basore of the Department of latin in Princeton Uni­versity, whose music stood him in good stead when, in Princeton, he was pianist in a glee club of which a future Presi­dent, Woodrow Wilson, was a member. There are said to be 105 females for every 100 males in the world and more than that excess in Dr. Basore's paq of the country, but so far he has not al­lowed one of them to land him.

And there was Sandy Arbuckle, now an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist of Charleston, W. Va., and brother of our Big Chief Howard Arbuckle. You have heard of the man who could hold his tongue in seven languages. That wasn't Sandy. He uses all seven at one time and feet and hands besides. He can out-talk any woman you can name. Try him-and you'll enjoy the experience! Of course, Julian, his younger brother, didn 't have a fair chance, but as general practitioner at Maxwelton, W . Va. , he has the patients all right.

And there was Eustace Ballou, gentle, lovable, who died in Tarboro, N . C., in April 1915. And Henry W . Mclaugh­lin, who hailed from the highlands of West Virginia, six feet two ("It would be a joy," they said in writing of him, "to straighten out one's limbs." ), win­ner of more than one medal at college, Director of the Department of the Country Church of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., and author of two widely circulated books bearing on his work. He makes Richmond, Va., his home and once in a while you will find him there. Out in his native highlands he raises Shorthorn cattle and Hampshire sheep and has won more than 1,000 first prizes and championships with them.

And there was Asa D. Watkins, now Professor of English at Hampden­Sydney. "A poet, too, there was whose verse was tender, musical and terse," was truly said of him, and "he murmurs near the running brooks a music sweeter than their own." And he has written much besides poetry, some of his clever­est work in prose appearing even as early as college days.

This, I think, covers our roll of Iota chapter through 1890 to 1894. Ten other chapters were in existence at the time. Alpha, at the University of Vic-

Through these years there was no little discussion on the subject of ex­pansion, and this was finally written in­to the policy of the Fraternity. I re­member being one of several advocating it in the 1892 convention at Knoxville. It was at this convention, by the way, that a coat of arms, a banner and a fraternity yell were adopted.

I recall that in the course of the dis­cussion in one of the conventions of this period a brother asked where he should wear his pin. "Anywhere but on the seat of your pants," replied the ready Robert A. Smythe.

And along with our fine friendships in the gay nineties we carried off, as a fraternity, more than our share of college honors, in those days largely confined to literary and oratorical lines, since the sports, (except baseball had not then come to prominence in college life.

I have spoken of Frank Robbins winning the senior orator's medal in

1889-90. Henry Mclaughlin won the freshman declaimer's medal that fall, the junior debater's medal in 1892 and the senior medal in his senior year. He also won the inter-society oratorical con­test and represented the college in _the state contest of 1893.

Coached by Mclaughlin, I entered the freshman contest, but lost, winning the junior and senior medals, however, and representing Hampden-Sydney in the state oratorical contest of 1894. The medals were won in the Union literary Society, one of the two literary societies of the college of that day.

The first issue of the Kaleidoscope, the college annual, appeared in 1893. Three II K A's were on the staff (Basore, Watkins and myself) and John I. Arm­strong, joining later, was business man­ager. This was about half the staff, though there were eight other fraterni­ties at college.

Two of us (Basore and myself, the latter as business manager) were on the staff of the Hampden-Sydney Magazine that year. The next year witnessed a funny situation. Asa Watkins became editor-in-chief of the Kaleidoscope and I a member of his staff. So as to even up, I was made editor-in-chief of the Magaz.ine with Watkins as an associate.

All this while Iota was holding her own in purely scholastic work, one after another winning second or third honors on graduation day and Randolph Jones (as Howard Arbuckle before him) win­ning the fellowship that carried with it in those days a year of teaching at the college and an M. A. degree at the. next commencement. Even so these young­sters did not attain unto the full beards worn by their elders on the faculty.

In "Hellenic Echoes" of the Kaleido­scope of 1893, I found a copy of our song and yell of that period. Here they are, quite strange, no doubt, to the ears of '29. The song:

Oh, Iota.' How I love thee, With thy pleasures all about me. 0, thou art a loving mother, For thy sons are each my brother. And here is the yell:

Wha-rippety-zip bang! Whoop, bang, hi.' Hurrah, Hooray. Hurrah, Pi.

Not exactly Tennysonian but breath­ing something nevertheless, of the love and gratitude and loyalty of the sons of Pi Kappa Alpha down to the present day.

Hold Snappy Conclave for N.o. 11 By HARRY C. ASH, M. S.

Alpha-Iota, Millsaps

CLASSES were forgotten, books were laid aside and standing dates were

broken when Alpha- Iota played host to the fifth convention of District No. 11 , held in Jackson, Miss ., on March 21 and 22.

The first visitors to arrive were five brothers from Gamma.Theta, who at­tended the initiation of four new mem­bers at the Alpha-Iota house on the night of Match 20.

Friday morning found most of the brothers assembled in the lobbies of the Edwards Ho~el , Jackson's convention headquarters. Here the latest initiates were given their first chance to meet "Pat," who is sometimes, though not often, known as Brother A. L. Hogan, the District Princeps. Registration went on under the supervision of David Lon. ginotti, Alpha-Iota, who had a garnet and gold recognition badge for every man registering.

The first business session was slated for 9 a. m. and, true to form, Pat called the convention to order somewhere in the vicinity of 9:35. The regular order of business had not been followed :ilrough more than one step before somebody hopped up and made the mo. tion that a telegram of greetings be sent to Grand Treasurer Smythe. The mo. cion was immediately adopted and the meeting continued with the reading of the minutes of the previous convention (an affair which was tedious and very hard on the secretary, for an oscillating fan vied with him for the honor of be. ing the loudest thing in the room at the time) . About this time roll call was held and 13 delegates answered.

A feature adding greatly to the smok­er held at Alpha-Iota's house during the evening was a solo broadcast from radio station WJDX in Jackson. Dur­ing the regular prog~am of the orchestra in which he is trombonist, Wyatte Sharp, Alpha-Iota, stopped long enough to sing The Dream Girl of II K A and dedicated it to the convention visitors.

Decorating a ballroom at 3 o'clock in the morning isn't much fun, but about seven of the boys from Alpha.Iota found it necessary to go down Friday night after the smoker and put on a few touch­es in the Edwards Hotel dance hall. Gamet and gold streamers formed a canopy in the ceiling of the room and

Page Two Hundred Seventy-Eight

balloons in the· same colors were strung from wires all over the hall. The lights had to be softened with crepe paper and a thousand and one other little things kept the hosts busy until late.

Reports of the committees were heard on Saturday morning and were fol­lowed, and even interrupted by much discussion and exchange of ideas. The convention was officially closed at 12:30 p . m. Then followed the banquet, at which were some 50 Pikes-one from Beta-Pi, another from Alpha-Nu and others from other chapters outside the district. Garner Lester of Alumnus Alpha.Iota was toastmaster. The speech. es were unusually spicy and not more than 46 of those present were lulled to sleep.

Open house at Alpha-Iota's home that afternoon gave the visiting brothers all the opportunity they needed to meet Millsaps' most beautiful co-eds. And the co-eds didn 't mind a bit-for a month they had begged the hosts to let them do anything to meet the dele. gates; many of them offered their rna. chines to drive the visitors about, etc. Time drifted by until the dance was in full swing. Proclaimed by all the young­sters present to be the best dance of several seasons in Jackson, the affair ended at exactly midnight and all the dancers hurried home to study their Sunday school lessons.

The last seen of the delegates from Eta was at 4 a. m. Sunday when they backed out of the house hurling at all assembled their 10 best reasons why New Orleans was the only place for the next district convention. Gamma-Iota's representation could not get away with­out coming by the · house for one more visit- it seems that one of the fellows had lost his best old hat and that he needed it to protect his hair from dust when he rode in particular types of automobiles.

And so books were picked up again ; Pikes began to meet classes; stood-up dates were reconciled, but there will ever be a memory in the minds of the broth­ers from Eta, Alpha.Gamma, Alpha­Iota, Gamma-Theta and Gamma-Iota of the district convention held down in Jackson in 1930.

Arkansas Boasts Boxers By WILLIAM F. STEWART; M. s.

Alpha-Zeta, Arkansas This year Alpha-Zeta has a goodly

number of "Gene Tunneys" or rather, "educated fighters ." Strange to say three of her boxers received training and ex. perience while serving Uncle Sam as did the present wor~d' s champ. As the result of many victories in the intra. mural boxing contests held during February at Arkansas, there were four Pi Kaps entered in the six weights of the finals.

Clarence Chalfant, two-year C. M. T . C. champion in the 135-pound class at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., has fought

two fights and knocked out his oppo"n­ent in the first round of each bout. He has won a . name for himself on the campus as "Killer" Chalfant.

Joe Red, last year intramural cham. pion in the 145-pound class, displays a classy left and an impr~gnable defense. Red was champion in his weight at Fott Snelling, Minn., during the 1928 sum­mer encampment.

Having won two decisions, one over a man considerably heavier than himself, Olaf McMonigle, who is a fast, shifty, light-heavyweight, entered the finals. Many times during the fight, things moved so rapidly that the spectators jumped to their feet in excitement. "Mac" gained considerable skill and ex. perience while in the navy.

Pledge Howard ("Skeets") Thomp­son, entered in the flyweight division but could never get his opponents in the ring with him.

District Princeps lvey, in his report, welcomed the two delegates from Xi Chapter to their first district convention since their chapter was revived in 1928. He also stated that there were no col­leegs being considered for chapters in the district at this time.

The reports from the active chapters showed that there were 129 active men in rhe six chapters of the district, plus 12 pledges who were to be initiated by Tau, on April 4 . With the exception of one chapter, all chapters in the dis­trict maintained a scholarship average for the years 1928-1929 of over 82 per cent. The campus activities and honor­ary affiliations of the chapters were re. ported good, with each chapter repre­sented in most college activities. Alpha­Alpha reported all members to be paid

for June, 1930

to report this policy back to their own chapters and suggest its adoption.

The Convention was honored in hav­ing present at luncheon Dr. H. B. Ar. buckle, Beta Grand Councillor of II K A and head of the department of chemistry at Davidson College. At the afternoon session there was an inspirational talk by Dr. Arbuckle, who reviewed the high position which Pi Kappa Alpha has al­ways maintained, and made the plea that the delegates work for a continuance of this same high standard .

District Princeps lvey made a report on the Supreme Council and District Princeps Conference, held at St. Louis feb . 22, and he asked for an expression from the delegates as to which time would be better to hold rhe conference hereafter- before or after the district conve~ions-and it was the sense of the convention that the conference should be held before the district con­ventions, so that any recommendations made ar the conference could go before the conventions.

lvey announced that he would offer

each year a loving cup for the best all. around member of an active chapter in the district, to be known as the Princeps ' Trophy. On April 1 of each year each chapter will elect one candidate, whose name will be sent to the District Prin­ceps, with full data regarding the can­didate, who will in turn hand the in. formation over to a committee of three alumni, who will be appointed by the District Princeps. This committee will pick the most outstanding man from these six candidates and the cup will be awarded on May 1. The only stipulation made to the winner of the cup is that it shall remain in the chapter house or rooms for one year, after which it will then become his own property.

The motive of the District Princeps in awarding this cup is to make each chapter feel an added interest in com­peting with the other chapters in their own district, which it is hoped will de. velop a friendly rivalry among rhe chapters.

The convention went on record as op­posing any expansion in the district at rhis rime. The convention favored the establishment of more alumni chapters in rhe district. Several towns in rhe two stares, where several alumni reside, were mentioned as logical places for the formation of alumni chapters. lvey was indorsed for reappointment as District Princeps.

representing the sport in which the win­ner competed, to the man who main­tains the highest average in his school work while he is participating in that sport.

This year Davis won the trophy by having an average of 2.57. This aver­age is based on a system wherein "A" counts 3 and "B" counts 2. Last sea­son, 1928-29, Davis tied with Frank Jonas, AI pha-T au for the honor. Each had an average of 2.41.

In addition to taking the scholarship award for basket~all, Davis also was cop man among football lettermen dur­ing the season of 1929. This also is a second time that Alpha-Tau has had a man in the honors for an athletic cup. In 1928 W esley Anderson tied for first place with an average of 2.42 . t

Of the seven awards that have been given since the institution was started, five have been won by men from Alph~­Tau.

Discuss District Affairs By ELDON R. SLOAN, Beta-Gamma, Kansas

~HE convention held by District No. l 13 at Lawrence, Kans ., on April 11,

12, 13, was a huge success both from the business and the social standpoint.

The fellows began arriving about dinner time on Friday night and kept dropping in until about ten from Gam­ma-Beta had arrived and about twelve from Alpha-Omega. J. Wilbur Wolf, District Princeps, arrived the next morn­ing and the boys got down to business. Most of the morning was spent in mak­ing reports.

It was in the afternoon session that the convention got to the more serious points . Rushing and pledging were the first subjects to come up for discussion. Brother Hoagland gave a report on rushing methods at Beta-Gamma. This was followed by a discussion in which some very good suggestions were of­fered . One of the best came from Brother Mochler, alumnus of Beta-Sig­ma, who suggested that in looking over prospects in various high schools, II K A should pick the steady men rather than the stars.

The scholarship report, given by Brother Mochler, was given serious con­sideration, since scholastic activities are the primary reasons for artending school. Many suggestions were brought out, pointing toward raising the scholarship average of every chapter in the district. The balance of the afternoon was take11 up with reports on chapter organization and campus activities.

The big social event of the conven­tion was the party held Saturday night at Ekes hall. About 150 couples were present. Guests from other fraternities on the Kansas campus were invited .

When the convention was called to order next morning, Brother W. W. Davis, professor of history at the Uni­versity of Kansas, and Grand Historian of the fraternity, talked to the boys, stressing the importance of the district organization.

"I want II K A to always stand for scholarship," he said "Conduct your­selves as serious scholars and the rest comes as secondary." In speaking of history he said, " writing of history is apt to be perfunctory self glorification. It is hoped that the historian will be brave enough to tell the truth . Tell the real relationship of the chaprer to the university and member to member."

Eleven Kin in II K A By CHARLES S. DAVIS,

U psi/on, Auburn

I S IT possible that family tradition should run in fraternities? 1 ask this

question because I am the eleventh member of my family to be initiated, not only into Pi Kappa Alpha, but in Upsilon chapter.

In 1898, rhre years after the estab­lishment of the chapter, Howard Ellis Davis was initiated and to him goes the honor of being the first to establish the tradition of which we are so proud. Following him came my uncle, William Warson Davis, now Grand Historian , and next in line came Lane and Mat­thew Davis, the larter being my father.

The longest interval during which there was none of us in the chapter was from 1915 to 1928 and at the end ol this period, the first of the second gen­eration, which is myself, joined the ranks of our brotherhood. I could never feel ar all our of place in Pi Kappa Al­pha because I was scarcely conscious of rhe fact that any other fraternity even existed.

It is often natural for doctors, lawyers and other professional men to follow in rhe footsteps of their fathers or some other member of the family, bur this same thing in regard to fraternity mem­bership is something new. It was one of rhe most exciting moments of my life when I was about to link myself with the fraternity through the chapter where my father, rwo uncles and seven cousins had been affiliated before me.

SHIELD AND DIAMONDS that have been put our this year. The convention went on record "as favoring the new size of our SHIELD AND DIAMOND; also, that we appreciate the untiring efforts put forth by the editors, which has placed our fraternity magazine among the lead­ers, if not the best among such publica­tions ."

The closing of the business sessions certainly did not end the convention. One of the best banquets ever held in­side of the wall of the Beta-Gamma chapter house was served ar noon Sun­day. Brother Davis acted as toastmaster and if any of you fellows have never heard Brother Davis tell stories you "ain 't heard nothin ' yet." Representa­tives from each chapter in the district responded with short speeches. Brother Wolf was the main speaker and his calk was very much appreciated by all rhose present.

Church Honors Grand Chaplain '"f HE Episcopalian Church of the Ad­- vent, NashviJie, Tenn., held special

services on Sunday, Feb. 16, in observa­tion of the foui:teenth anniversary of the beginning of the rectorship of the Rev. Prentice A. Pugh, Chi, Grand Chaplain of II K A. Recognition was given also to his work in materiaJJy building up the parish, in the course of which he had made the astounding number of 28,115 caJis on members of the congre­gation.

There was special music in the order of services . Brother Pugh's morning sermon was entitled "The Old and the N ew" and in the evening he spoke on "Progress."

Few other clergymen in NashviJie have served so long with one congre­gation. The number of communicants during Brother Pugh's incumbency has increased from 160 to 879 and he pre­sented 685 persons for confirmation. He baptised 452 infants, officiated at 335 marriages and conducted 290 funeral services. About six years ago a $30,000 parish house was erected and a year ago the church bought a rectory for $12,500. It is the only Nashville church provid­ing a separate building for a Boy Scout troop, having spent $1,200 for a cabin fo r this purpose. Brother Pugh was the leader in all" this development of the congregation.

In addition to ·his many duti es in a

rapidly-growing parish, Brother Pugh has given of his time and energies to the work of the NashviJie Convocation and to that of the entire diocese, se~ing on various committees for the latter. He has been Clean of the Convocation since 1922 and has been president of the standing committee in the diocese secre­tary of the board of examining chap­lains, member of the Bishop Council, chairman of the Department of Chris­tian Social Service and has also served as a delegate to the synod of the Province of Sewanee and has been a delegate to several of the general conventions of the Episcopal Church.

He has also found time to render special service to various civic, religious, fraternal and charitable organizations and to participate in many movements of a welfare nature. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Kiwanis Club, a former president and vice-president of the NashviJie Pastors ' Association, a former vice-president of the Boys' Club and at present a mem­ber of the board of directors of the club a member of the Nashville Council of Boy Scouts, member of the Social Work­ers ' ~lub, of the board of directors of the Davidson Counry Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and a member of the board of the Tennessee Children's Home So­ciety.

Brother Pugh's boyhood was spent in Clarksville, Tenn His academic and theological education was obtained at the University of the South, Sewanee, where he received his A. B. in ' 1905. His only rectorship before going to NashviJie was at HolyTriniry, Memphis, for ten years. He is interested particular­ly in work among students and in aJI the charitable and welfare mstitutions cf the community. He conducts religious ~trvices regularly at the Florence Crit­tenden Home, the Tennessee Industrial School, the State Penitentiary and at other institutions. He is frequently called upon to speak before civic clubs and similar organizations. Within his own denomination he has been much in demand as a speaker for noon Lenten services in other cities. He has had a number of flattering offers from other pa rishes, but has declined them at the insistence of his cong(egation in Nash-vi lle. - IIKA-

Captains Net Team By LEIGHTON MEDILL, M. S.,

Beta-Rho, Colorado College

I N a state like Colorado, where the sun shines 365 days a year, it is only

natural that much interest is shown in tennis as an all-year sport. At the foot of majestic Pike's Peak lies the campus of Colorado College with its noted tennis courts. It is logical that Colo­rado College should produce fine tennis players.

Pi Kappa Alpha has been fortunate in having as its members the last two tennis captains under whose guidance

the tennis team has flourished. Bob Moses of 1927-28 fame was the main ' 'Tiger" invader on other campuses. He brought defeat to many an aspiring ten­nis champ.

Upon graduation, Moses was fol­lowed by another brother of whose rec­ord we are proud. This net star is Frank Koerner, who has the captaincy of the college team. Koerner is one of the outstanding net stars in the Rocky Mountain Conference. Having acquired an enviable reputation locally by beat­ing Colorado Springs' best, thus win­ning the city singles and doubles cham­pionship, he also was a decidedly high runner-up in division intercollegiate singles. He is conceded to be the main­stay of the Tiger team for this year. He is fourth ranking player in the state of Colorado, in whose boundaries are to be found some extraordinarily fine players. He is only a sophomore.

relief sewer, built in 1925, lost again when a jury decided the city was not responsible. Vogt testified his workmen drilled into the natural cave soon after work on the relief sewer began. He said the cave extended for more than a mile in a general northwesterly direction, and ran for several blocks under Nebraska avenue.

When the cave was discovered, several workmen who were lowered into it were overcome by gas. Vogt himself descended into the cave, and was also overcome. Be­fore he could explore the cave, he added, it was necessary to pump fresh air into the cave. Vogt said in places the cave shrank to a small passageway, in which a man had to stoop to get through. At other spots it " ·as a series of big stone rooms. From the roof of these room's, Vogt said, stalactites depended. A stream of water ran through rhe cave. The cave, Vogt declared, caused him a vast amount of unforeseen expense and necessitated shorings, cement work, and the like, which otherwise would not have been required.

Vogt said also that the order issued by the city forbidding blasting between 11 p. m. and 6 a. m. cost him $25 ,000. Vogt's con­cern originally bid $301 ,000, and was paid $3 25,000 because of unforeseen difficulties in building the sewer, which was from 60 to 70 feet below the street.-St. Louis Post­Dispatch.

Ending Rough Initiations Two more Ohio State University fraterni­

ties have announced their intention of abol­ishing "rough initiations." In doing so, they are displaying excellent judgment and it is to be hoped that still others will follow · their example. •

Pi Kappa Alpha has voted to substitute an "educ;ational probation" period in pla~e of the usual "hell week" program and will 'im­pose intensive study upon their pledges in place of slapsticks. It is gratifying to riote this trend which concentrates attentiop upon the upper end of the spinal column rather than upon the lower. ..

Phi Kappa Tau announces that, in the fu-. ture, its initiations will be mild. This is taken to mean that its candidates may hope to enter the charmed inner circles of the fraternity with whole scalps, full sets of teeth and the usual quota of epidermis.

It long ago became apparent that if there was to be a reform of the highly dangerous initiation tactics pursued by college frat­ernities, it would have to come from within these organizations. Faculty agitation served only to irritate and got nowhere. The several tragedies that have resulted from these initia­tions put a damper on them in some locali­ties, but had little effect elsewhere.

THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND

IN Cf' Cf' IC a J. HAROLD JOHNSTON, Alpha-Psi, Rutgers, Grand Editor.

CT'HIS is the rime of year when chapter treasurers, srew-1 ards and house managers should watch their accounts

receivable most carefully. It is the season of the dead bear and the plausible excuser. Those who have succeeded

We Need a 'Cash and Carry'

System in Fraternities

in stalling off payment are about to make new promises that they "will send you a check after my first pay day" which, experience shows, never comes.

The credit of some men are good and there are some genuine emer­gencies which may make delayed ·payment necessary, but this warn­ing is directed against those who

have a real reason to offer. We're talking about the chap, for instance, who has had the cash to attend dances and par­ties but who can not pay his board bill on time or who needs an extension on his room rent bill.

The president of the State University of Montana, accord­ing to reports, has ordered that fraternity members owing $10 or more on the fifteenth of the month shall be excluded from classes unless satisfactory arrangements for payment are made. Last spring diplomas were withheld by this college from fraternity members who had not paid their chapter bills. Would that more colleges followed Montana's example!

If all the money owed chapters by so-called brothers who left college without paying their just debts could be collected and applied to the building fund, what a group of mansions we would have.

Honest men pay their debts.

wE CONGRATULATE Lewis A. Smith on his selection as the winner of the Alumnus Beta-Phi Trophy for

1928-29 as the designation "most representative undergraduate of Pi Kappa Alpha" carries with it the knowledge that the

records of about 1,800 men were taken into account before the com­

mittee announced its decision.

Smith is a fine chap as those of us who mer him at the last conven­tion can testify. We wouldn't de­tract one iota from the honor which is rightfully his but we would like to suggest to the award committee or whoever the contest rule-making

body may be char the word "undergraduate" ne,.ds defining.

According to the story in the February issue of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND, Smith entered Alabama in 1924. In 1927 he transferred co the law school and got his A. B. in 1928. Thus when he was chosen for the award, he was in his second year of law school and has already received his undergraduate de­gree and diploma.

Lynn, the winner for 1927-28, was likewise a law student

for Tune, 1930

at Alabama at the time for the story in the April, 1929, SHIELD AND DIAMOND says that Lynn graduated from Alabama Tech in 1927, after four years undergraduate study, then transferred to Alabama for his law work.

In other words, both these men had completed four years of college undergraduate work and were selected as "most representative undergraduate" for the fifth year they were in college which was, in fact, graduate school.

Doesn't this give an advantage to men who are able to continue beyond their four years? Doesn't it also give an advantage to that chapter which happens to be located at an institution which has a professional school on the campus as well? Doesn't it likewise favor those chapters who con­tinue as "active" those who have received their degrees?

One furcher thought. Can't some method be devised where­by the winner for the college year ending in June can be announced before April of the following year?

'THESE are busy times for those in the Chapters whose days as undergraduates are numbered. Within a few weeks

hundreds of the brothers, in their caps and gowns, will receive their sheepskins and their college career is over. Thus ends

a delightful experience but a new one is about to begin. Commence­ment is well named.

The transition from "cloistered halls" to the "cold, cold world" will not be easy for some of you. The disappointments will be great. When you are offered a $20 a week job, you will wonder if your college course was worth the time and ef­

fort. Most graduates, perhaps subconsciously, have an exalted opinion of their value to industry and the business world. They fail to realize that they must first demonstrate their value to employers before advancement is possible. Employers gen­erally assume that men with college training have greater pos­sibilities than those who do not bur few are willing to gamble hard cash until the man has proven his worth.

As an undergraduate, have you ever ranted and raved abour the unresponsiveness of the alumni? Have you ever resolved that when you joined that august body you would not be so indifferent? The time is not far off when this will be put to the test. See to it that you are not found wanting by your chapter.

Affili~te yourself with the alumnus chapter in your city. Keep your interest alive in Pi Kappa Alpha affairs. Notify the General Office, and your Chapter, when you move. If you do not receive your copy of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND regularly, let us know, for the magazine is one of the best ways you have to keep in touch with fraternity affairs.

Goodbye, Seniors, and good luck!

I T is the staff's opinion that readers of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND enjoy stori es of adventures and unusual exper.

iences of brothers more than almost anything else we print. It will be the lot of some to travel this summer but those of us who have to stay at home for one good reason or another would like to read about what the others have done. Send your story, and pictures, to the Grand Editor. If there is any do~bt in your mind about the general interest of the story you might write and ask him. Consider yourself a duly appointed travel­ing correspondent of TH E SHI ELD AND DIAMOND, and act ac­cordingly.

eDITORIALLY, the staff was pleased to receive this reso­lution from the District 9 convention:

"We the committee on resolutions recommend that the Convention express to the Editor of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND, uur most sincere approval and appreciation of the present form of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND."

Then we were saddened by this report from the District 2 convention:

" Disapproved of the appearance of THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND and favored a return to the former style, and dis­approved of the treatment of photographs sent to this maga­zine. "

But the sun shone brightly again when this resolution came along from the brothers of District 13:

"The convention went on record as favoring the new size of our SHIELD AND DIAMOND; also that we appreciate the untir­ing efforts put forth by the editors, which has placed our magazine among the leaders, if not the best among such publications."

A withered blossom between two rosebuds ...

A. NO SO the last issue of the sixth volume eaited by the present staff goes to press. In some respects, this vol­

ume, the thirty-ninth in the history of THE SHIELD AND DIA­MOND, has been epoch-making. The format is radically dif­

ferent from what it was when we took office in 1924. We thought

The Triple

Staff 'I a~es a Bow!

we knew what our brothers wanted when the change was made and the overwhelming response proves we were right.

The purpose of these few para­graphs, however, is not to laud the staff. It is to pay tribute to two of its members .

When the present Grand Editor was first asked to serve, he conditioned his acceptance on his ability to choose rwo associates. He got both of them, Richard G. Baumhoff, Beta­Lambda, of Sr. Louis and K. D . Pulcipher, Beta-Eta, of Chi­cago. More remarkable than getting them is the fact that they have stuck through the years .

The Grand Editor has been embarrassed at times when brothers have congratulated us and chapters and district con­ventions have adopted resolutions praising the Grand Editor, for as a matter of fact, we personally deserve less than our one third of the praise. THE SHIELD AND DIAMOND has been published by a committee of three. Not a single major de­cision has been made without full discussion and unanimous agreement among the three.

Let me add this. The man who really deserves the credit for the present magazine is K. D . Pulcipher. He plans the issues, assembles the stories and pictures, and puts the issue

Page T111o H11ndred Eighty-Eight

cogerher. He is, in effect, the managing editor. The makeup and art lay-our of the three column page is far beyond our powers so we chose a printer near Chicago (a II K A, by the way, Guy Sharp, U psi/on ) and K . D . now plays with the galley proofs.

Why are so many stories such fine reading? A professional, Dick Baumhoff, has effectively wielded his blue pencil for as a " rewrite man," D1ck is in a class by himself. The value to the magazine 'of these two brothers is in no sense confined to the mechanics of editing and printing. Far from it. They are " idea" men of the first water with noses for news and skill in running down leads. Thus the Grand Editor serves as executive officer and has time to carry on the necessary correspondence with the General Office!

Pi Kappa Alpha men should know that our magazine is actually published by a group of three with the help and co­operation of many more. The names of Baumhoff and Pul­cipher should be writ large in the book of faithful and capable · brothers. J. H. J.

ALUMNI! YOUR CHANCE 'TO HELP! DO you, as an alumnus, remember

the activity in your chapter when college opened in the fall? The all ab. sorbing ropic was "pledges."

Didn 't ir help mightily when some interested brother sent you the name of an entering student whom you could look up? Why don 't you help the same way? With chapters in seventy-eight colleges scattered throughout the coun. try it would seem reasonable that some of your young friends graduating from high or prep schools this June will be going to one of them.

A letter of introduction to the S. M . C. of the Chapter will make the boy's first day on the campus more pleasant as well as help the Chapter. A letter direct from you ro the Chapter before college opens will help that much more, even if the Chapter isn 't courteous enough ro say "Thank you!"

ALUMNI CHAPTER NEWS.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Alumnus Alpha-Omega

A few years ago Alumnus Alpha-Omega was organized in Syracuse with the very best of intentions, but activities soon dropped off, which we have now decided was a mis­take. We are reviving this chapter with the resolve to keep it going this time.

We have in Syracuse 44 alumni as follows: Fred S. Gibbs, Maurice Olmstead, Preston D. Fogg, Leon W . Ellis, Charles Ellis, Frank C. Love, Dr. C. E. McElwain, Veloras An­drews, Dr. Wm. J. Gabel, Thomas Far­ley, Dr. Earle E. Mack, William Roy Van­Allen, William A. V. Mack, Russel Sawens, Willis S. Stone, Florent E. Verdin, Henry M. Lipes, Charles E. Wright, Emil Alleweit, Thomas H. Thurlow, Ralph Pattyson, Ray­mond M. Bush, Stanley M. Dibble, Ray T. Young, Elgia Helmstetter, George A. Helm­stetter, John E. Gates, Arthur Clasen, George S. Parker, Elmer Frackelton, Dr. Ray E. Platner, Dr. William Birrell, Lowell Birrell, Edward H. Dutcher, Roy A. Lauster, Clinton E. Henry, Otis Fulton, S. S. Merrill, Pinky Mosier, Barthen Patterson, Neil Reeve, M. E. Ames, Dewi tt Hooker, Dr. Frank Dye.

We have had two luncheon meetings and 12 of the above men have attended both meetings and only 15 have attended neither meeting. Those latter 15 we urgently request to join us in future meetings and promise them that they will be well rewarded for their interest. The first meeting was given over largely to providing a skeleton structure, and the following temporary officers were eleaed: President, William A. V. Mack; vice-president, Henry Lipes; treasurer, P. D. Fogg; secretary, F. E. Verdin.

A plan was discussed for regrouping the stockholders of the holding corporation which owns the Alpha-Chi chapter house, so that they would always be in this alumnus chapter, thus providing ready means of ac­uon when matters pertaining to the chapter house come up for action. All of the stock­holders seem to be in accord with this plan and progress is being made in this direction. As a result of a conference with the Alpha­Chi chapter a better understanding has arisen between the two groups and both have pro­ceeded to take care of · their obligations.

Much credit is due the wives of the alumni who organized a bridge party for the benefit of Alpha-Chi, under the direction of Mrs. William A. V. Mack. This was held on April 26, at the chapter house.

It is the purpose of the group to continue as a luncheon club, meeting the first Monday and third Wednesday of each month and Mack believes that interest will be kept up by providing short talks by various promin­ent speakers. This was demonstrated very successfully at our second meeting, whe~;e we heard from Vic Hanson,_ Syracuse Uni­versity's new football coach, who gave a very interesting talk.

HOUSTON, TEX. Alumnus Gamma-Mu

Formation of an alumnus chapter here was decided upon last February. Grand Princeps Perez, Grand Treasurer Smythe, Grand Secretary Moss and District Prin­ceps Green helped with information about how to proceed. The initial meet­ing was held as a Founders' day celebra­tion on March 1 at the Texas State Ho­tel. A fearure of the gathering was the reading of the greeting from the Ant­arctic from Dr. Laurence M. Gould, Beta-Tau, Rear Admiral Byrd's assistant.

The alumnus chapter was chartered and a second meetil'lg was held on April 12. There were 15 charter members and three more joined at the second session. Officers chosen were:

President, George M. Luhn, Beta-Mu, former star end of the University of Texas eleven, now an attorney for the Shell Petroleum Co.; vice president, A. Milton Vance, Beta-Mu, a lawyer; secre­tary-rreasurer, Lester B. Metze, Beta-Mu, in the cotton business with Anderson, Clayron & Co.; com!spunding secretary, P M. Stevenson, Alpha-Omicron, mem­ber of the law firm of Platt, West &

Stevenson.

Other members of the chapter are: Haywood McDaniel, M. L. Rendleman and Dr. Frank M. Lancaster, all Alpha­Omicron; Richard R. Vest and J. W.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Alu.mnu.s Beta Alpha.

District Princeps Ruddock is to be con­gratulated for the efficient manner in which he managed the District Convention held here in Los Angeles on March 21-22. D ele- '

gates from Gamma-Delta and Alpha-Sigma were the guests of Gamma-Eta. The con­vention was a decided success, both from a business standpoint as well as from a social one.

Vice-President Alfred Bunn decided to make the fatal step at last. He boldly jumped into the golden sea of matrimony on April 12. Margaret Stephens is the happy bride. Both evidently like "tall timber" as it is reported they are spending their honeymoon at Lake Arrowhead and in the High Sierras.

George Hjelde has resigned his post with the playground department of this city and has accepted a position with the New York playground department.

Chuck Foltz is branch manager of Ransom Bros. Lumber Co., at Julian, Calif.

Several of the brothers are keenly inter­ested in the song contest of the fraternity . The prizes are to be awarded in December at the Memphis Convention. Some remark­able talent is in evidence. Brother Maynard threatens to bring forth a ditty which will "out dream" the Dream Girl, so Bess Shields wi ll have to be warned.

Grand-Alumnus Secretary Van Buskirk and District Princeps Ruddock have been suffer­ing considerable agony the past week or so. The symptoms are a high fever followed with an unconscious movement of the right hand. After going into consu ltation the cases are diagnosed as "trout fever. " This disease becomes greatly aggrevated with the ap­proaching of the opening day of fishing season and the only relief is the enticing of a four pound Rainbow from its home in a shadowy pool.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Alu.mnu.s Beta-Phi

When the annual Founders' Day banquet was held by Alumnus Beta-Phi, of Western New York, the assembly included 26 of the 34 men listed for Buffalo and Western New York towns. Seven neighboring towns of Buffalo were represented. The next affair is to be the annual beach party, at which time will be entertained men who will en­roll in the fall at schools were there are chapters of the fraternity.

Through co-operation of the Buffalo chap­ter, a program was broadcast by a group of musicians and a quartet of the Syracuse chap­ter over Station WKBW at 7 p. m. May 9. Those of the active chapter of Alpha-Chi who participated were Frank E. Traver, Everett G. Leach, Paul W. Wilcox, Harry Tollerton, Warren C. Brainerd, Philip W·oodbury, Stewart Whittaker Thomas Thur­low and Jack DeMund. Alpha-Chi alumni of Buffalo who took part in the program were John T. Avery, pianist; Larry Nablo, saxophonist; Raymond Wood, banjoist, and Archy Urquhart, drummer and soloist. George C. Dworshak, Beta-Chi, advertising director of the Buffalo Broadcasting Corpo­ration, acted as guest announcer .

The following day, the troupe journeyed to Rochester where the program was re­peated for listeners of WHAM, the Strom­berg-Carlson station.

The radio programs are part of an exten­sive program being undertaken in New York to publicize the fraternity far and wide, from which, it is hoped, will result a wide expan­sion of the fraternity in the Empire State.

Memphis, though it has never enter­tained a national convention of II K A, is not without experience in extending this thing of southern hospitaliry, so often referred to oratorically, the Mem­phis alumni point out. So much so that it now ranks by acrual statistics as the eighth convention ciry of the United States and by long odds the first in the South, so after all it has by something like a right of leadership the privilege of saying a bit now and then about hospitaliry.

cenrury of history, in spite of the fact it was the first convention the nation 's lawyers had ever held in the South .

Barristers among the II K A alumni, ~everal of whom were active in prepara­tions for the bar convention, point to it proudly as an indication of the record II K A will roll up when the message of the welcome planned by Memphis becomes noised about throughout all chapters.

Rega rdless of that, the ball is rolling and Memphis is ready to receive as its guests and welcome as its own the mem­bers of 11 K A who will come next December. At the crossroads of the South, the world's greatest cotton mar­ket, a great hardwood center and a great center in the distribution of steel, Mem-phis has come to be known as the leader

of the South, in industry and commerce. But of that record, outstanding though

· ir is, Memphis is no more proud than of its record as a city of hospitality, rolled up through its entertainment of tens of thousands who Bock to Memphis conventions every year- even as 11 K A w.iJ. l b~ doing next December.

The Memphis committees and the grand officers are hoping to make this Memphis convention a great alumni gathering . In the past, conventions have sometimes been too g reatly con­centrated on routine active chapter af­fairs . The Memphis program is to be different.

Old-timers like Dr. John S. Foster, one of the junior founders, with How­ard Bell Arbuckle, another ; men like J. Gray McAllister, P. Tulane Atkinson, Dr. George Summey, J. Pike Powers and dozens of others whose names are famous on the roster of Pi Kappa Alpha, and of course t~e Grand Old Man himself, Robert A. Smythe- all are expected to be on hand.

Never before have s"uch ambitious plans been laid. Old and young, II K A's from all over the country will be there, alumni and actives alike.

The District Princeps opened the meeting with a brief report of the year. He pointed out that the district's scho­lastic standing was poor; that the finan­cial standing was slightly better; that all chapters were alive and that one new on had been added, Gamma-lambda.

There was considerable discussion on the relationship of the alumni to the active chapters. It was the general opin. ion that there should be a closer rela­tionship. A resolution was adopted as follows : "The District No. 2 conven­tion wishes to go on record as request­ing the alumni of Pi Kappa Alpha to co-operate with the active chapters in securing desirable rushees. This can be done best by giving ;notice to active chapters of all desirable rushees attend­ing the respeaive institutions."

SAM D. JONES Epsilon

Sam D. Jones, Epsilon, retired manu­facturer and Southern business leader died at the home of his daughter i~ Atlanta on April 6 after an illness of four weeks. He was 73 years old.

The funeral was held in Atlanta the next day with Bishop Warren A. Cand­ler and the Rev. Dr. Luther Rice Chris­tie officiating. Burial was in West View Cemetery. Honorary escorts at the fun ­eral were provided by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, of which Bro­ther Jones was a past president; the At­lanta Freight Bureau, which he founded, the Citizens' & Southern National Bank, of which he was a director, and the Ten Club, of which he was a member. Of­fices of the Coca-Cola Co., of which a son is executive vice-president, were closed the afternoon of the funeral.

Brother Jones is survived by three sons-Harrison Jones of the Coca-Cola Co., Saunders Jones, vice-president and assistant to the president of the White Motor Co., Cleveland, and Bolling H. Jones Jr., president of the Atlanta Stove Works, all graduates of the University of Georgia-a daughter, Mrs. Beverly M. Du Bose, and a brother, Bolling H . Jones, Jr., president of the Atlanta Stove president of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs, died about two years ago.

Born in Campbell County, Va., 15 miles from Appomattox, on May 27, 1856, Brother Jones was educated as a lawyer at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Richmond University. He received his degree from Virginia Polytechnic, where he became a member of II K A's defunct Epsilon chapter, in 1880. He practiced law for 10 years at Marion, Va., and then became president of Vir­ginia Intermont College, a women 's school founded by his father-in-law. During his 10 years' incumbency the student body increased from 75 to 300.

Going to Atlanta in 1898, Brother Jones soon became a leader in the ciry's business and social life. He purchased a one-third interest in the Atlanta Stove Works and later became majority owner.

for June, 1930

Soon, with his college-gained knowl­edge of accounting, he found that the overhead expenses had not been cal­culated properly and stoves were being sold below cost. He revised the price list and notified sales agents . The latter objected, so, with his brother, he reor­ganized the business and developed an aggressive sales force. In four years the volume of production was quadrupled and profits were rolling in.

Recognizing that hollow-ware, such as kitchen utensils, could be made pro­fitably near pig iron furnaces, Brother Jones established a factory for this pur­pose at Birmingham, Ala. The market was good. In 1907 he and the late Asa G. Candler organized the Central Bank & Trust Corporation, which later went into the Citizens' & Southern. The year before Brother Jones was elected presi­dent ,of the Chamber of Commerce. In this position he initiated a movement for a municipal auditorium and another for an exposition, but it was decided to turn the $335,000 exposition fund over to the auditorium, and he sponsored construction of a street viaduct.

ROBERT KINLOCH MASSIE, JR. Alpha

Robert Kinloch Massie, Jr., Alpha, died at Good Samaritan Hospital, Lex­ington, Ky., on April 7. He was a dis­tinguished educator and former head of the Massie School for Boys, Versailles, Ky. His father, the Very Rev. Robert Kinloch Massie, Alpha, dean of Christ Church (Episcopal) Cathedral, Lexing­ton, is a former Grand Chaplain of the fraternity.

He is survived by his wife, two small sons, his parents and a brother, Dr. Francis M. Massie, Alpha, of Lexing­ton. He had suffered a painful illness unflinchingly and died at an early age and unexpectedly.

Brother Massie was reared in the at­mosphere of Virginia Theological Sem­inary, where his father was a professor for 12 years. He followed his father as a student at the University of Virginia, where like the father and brother, he became a member of II K A. With the degree of Master of Arts, he dedicated himself to teaching, a career that was interrupted by a period of service as a Captain in the Army during the World War.

He established the Massie School first at Lexington and later at Versailles and gai ned the patronage of many prominent Kentucky families. In a tribute to him by the Rt. Rev. Lewis W . Burton, for­mer Bishop of Lexington, it was said: "His aim was the development of up; righmess and squareness of character, without veneer or sham, which he hated, and expressing itself in an honest devo­tion to study or other work at hand." Pupils of the school regularly attended St. John's Episcopal Church, Versailles, of which Brother Massie was a vestry­man and lay leader.

A tribute in the parish bulletin said of Brother Massie: "He was a gallant figure; in the face of overwhelming odds he clung tenaciously to his own high ideals and endured with the fortitude of a Christian gentleman the many and grievous burdens that were laid upon him."

problems, Brother Jones created the At­lanta Freight Bureau in 1902, and it got a revision of Atlanta freight rates for the first time in 15 years. About the same time he was instrumental in hav­ing the powers of the Georgia Public Service Commission broadened.

An omnivorous reader, Brother Jones was interested greatly in philosophy, and he presented profound articles be­fore the Symposium Club. He was a .firm believer in college education and in starting in business on the bottom rung of the ladder. In an interview he once said: "You must knock out of the head of the graduate the idea that col­lege has fitted him for everything else. It has only prepared his mind to proper­ly and rapidly learn other things, and to learn practically takes as long and as much effort as it did to take the college degree."

Brother Jones' ancestors settled in Virginia in 1609, two years after the founding of Jamestown, and he was a direct descendant of John West, Colon­ial Governor of Virginia and brother of Lord Delaware, friend of the Virginia colony and patron of the state of Dela­ware.

Epsilon chapter, which lived from 1873 to 1880, produced a number of graduates who were prominent in the affairs of the fraternity and the world. Its existence was ended by an anti­fraternity law.

RICHMOND, Va.- The close of the first semester found Omicron agai n among the leading contenders for the interfraternity scholarship cup awarded each year by the Pan-Hellenic council at the University of Richmond. With the pledges now having been initiated and their grades much better than is the usual case, Omicron is looking forward to even bener standings at the termi ­nation of the final semester's ~ork.

Installation of new officers took place re­cently with John B. Siegel becoming S. M. C. ; W. Holmes Chapman, I. M. C. ; Carlyle El­lett, S. C.; George Mahaney, Th. C. ; Shelton Earp, M. S. , and Robert Anderson, M. C. It was with regret that Arthur Ellett, John

Payne and James Fippin, left college at the end of the first term. Julian Boyer has re· turned to college after an absence of nine months.

The Omicron chapter house association recently reported that the final payment has been made on the lot selected on fraternity row and that all efforts will now be directed towards getting funds for the house. This bit of information came as a pleasant sur· prise to the chapter members who are look· ing forward to getting into a house not later than next year.

In the interfraternity track meet recently, Omicron placed third out of the nine fra· ternities, and Broaddus scored highest indi­vidual honors. Mann is again playing infield on the diamond, while Boyer and Broaddus are on the track squad.

Omicron Chapter's celebration of Found­ers' Day by a tea dance in the afternoon and a formal banquet and dance later in the eve· ning was unanimously acclaimed one of the biggest social events this year. We are now looking forward to a picnic and dance in the near future.

Iowa Chapter Suffers From Easter House Fire

By ALFRED KAHL, M . s .. Gamma- Nu, Iowa.

UNIVERSITY, !a.-All but four of the boys departed for home for the annual spring vacation at their respective homes enjoying immensely the diversion from the grind of school life. An abrupt end to vacation ac­tivities came with this telegram : " Fire at house like last year. Come." Hurried trips back to Iowa found the old home on 400 N. Clinton was only partly there to welcome its former occupants.

About noon on Easter Sunday a fire broke out on the third floor of the house. Only

four boys were in at the time and it was a busy afternoon for them as well as the Iowa City lire department. By 3:30 the yard and neighboring yards were literally covered with trunks, clothes, books, shoes, typewriters, paddles, sweetheart pictures, and what not. While the house was only partly burned, the rooms were soaked with water. By Monday morning nearly all of the other fellows had returned and were making fruitless attempts to find some of their belongings.

The damage to the house is estimated at $5,000 and personal damage is about $1 ,100. The furniture was damaged badly by water but was covered by insurance. The chapter i ~ now located in a furnished home at 804 N . Dubuque and, barring any future fires ,

will remain there until completion of a new home next fall.

The new Northland Manor home is well under way. Sandstone is being put around the foundation and, with the limestone trim­mings, it will be a very attractive building. '

Perhaps the most outstanding achievement of Gamma-Nu for the first semester of the school year is the work in scholatship. Ex­tremely conservative schedules drawn up by the scholarship proctor and compared with past averages indicate that II K A will prob­ably rank first or second in standing, with over forty hours of A for last semester and two boys with straight A averages. Kuchel brought in ten hours and AI Cummins re­ceived sixteen hours of A. Both men are

Riculfi Cup Remains. on Beta-Chi Mantle

By ROBERT L. NETHERLY, M. s., Beta-Chi, Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - The winter quarter opened with rushing week. Fifteen men were pledged and four more have taken the "pin" since the formal rushing period closed.

Beta-Chi held a formal dinner dance Feb. 1, and some fifty pledges, actives, and alumni enjoyed rhe affair. Especial credit is due Donald Cook, upon whom, as chairman of the social committee, a major part of the responsibility fell.

At the March elections Beta-Chi chose these men as officers: Herbert Klippen, S. M. C. ; John Knutson, I. M. C.; Roderick Hood, Th. C., and George Connor, S. C.

Due to the efforts of Roderick Hood and members of the scholarship committee, coupled with the cooperation of every mem­ber of the chapter, Beta-Chi made for the second consecutive quarter of this year a scholastic average appreciably higher than the required ·c.

The pledge basketball team came through a stiff intra-mural series with distinction. Losing a one-point game to the undefeated champions for their only setback, the team won second place in the standings. The men on the team were: Royal Hoef!ler, Kenneth Peterson, Carmony Pherres, Carl Granquist, Lucien Vorphal, Magnus Olson, Vernon Scott, Robert Reed, Morton Nelson and Mel­ford Gillette.

Friday April 11, Beta-Chi gave an inform­al dance at the Glenwood Chalet. Westlund's popular campus orchestra furnished the rhy­thm. Donald Cook, chairman of the social committee, was in charge of the arrange­ments. About fifty alumni, actives andpledges with their guests were present.

This issue of the 'Shield and Diamond' goes to press too early for us to include the honors, prizes and rewards secured by mem­bers of Beta-Chi ·during the past year. This announcement is made by the administration May 15th.

We can say now, however, that Robert Hood is chairman of one of the major com­mitres for the approaching Senior week, that John Knutson was elected to the All-Univer­sity student council, as representative of the entire junior class of the college of dentistry and that Robert Netherly is a member of. .the University Senate committe on debate, oratory and forensics.

By winning the Riculfi Ath.\etic Award for the second consecutive year, Beta-Chi came into permanent possession of the trophy. This magnificent cup, standi-ng some three feet high upon it's ebony base, handsomely etched and engraved, has been given each year by Brother Riculfi to the chapter winning the greatest number of major athletic letters.

Lloyd Bennes is on the track team where he ts a dependable point winner in the pole vault; the chapter has entered a team in the intramural golf tournament, with every pros­pect of placing at least one representative upon the varsity team; Milford Gillette re­C!:J)tly won the All-University light heavy­weight boxing championship and lastly, Beta­Chi is represented upon the squad reporting for spring football practice by the following men: Royal Hoef!ler, (varsity end of last year), Elmer Apmann (varsity tackle) , Stan­ley Lundgren, Kenneth Peterson, Milford Gillette and Kermit Dock.

Alpha-Phi, Iowa State

The outstanding star of the Middle W esr, who is expected to break many

Bob Hager

records in the coming t rae k sea­son, is none other than Bob Hager, Alph a-Phi, Iowa Stare crack hur­dler.

Hager has been an ex­ceptional figure in all the leading track meets for the last two years. His official time of 14.9 seconds for the 1 2 0-y a r d high hurdles made at the Texas Re­lays I as t

has year placed this mid dIe western flash at the top of the

hurdler 's class in that section of the country.

Some of his outstanding victories of last year were: In the Drake-Grinnell­Iowa State triangular meet, he won both the high and low hurdle races, setting a new meet record in the high sticks; second in the highs at the Big Six meet; first in the lows and second in the highs at the Nebraska dual meet; second in hurdles at the Illinois Relays, and third in the Drake Relays.

In those meets Hager defeated such men as Carmen of Oklahoma, Fleming and Lamson of Nebraska, Sentman and Rodgers of Illinois, Allison of Iowa and Hayden of Chicago.

Hager's high school career in his home town, Waukon, Iowa, is worthy of mention . Coached uflder the super­vision of "Deac" Wolters, Alpha-Phi, '23, Bob developed rapidly until he had garnered school records in both the 120-ya rd high and the 220-yard low hurdles .

His start this year was very impres­sive. On Feb. 14 he entered the Ames­Drake-Grinnell triangular meet at Des Moines, taking firsts in both the 50-yard high and the low hurdles. In the 50-yard high hurdles Bob tied the Iowa State College record, running them in 6. 5 seconds. Hager thus holds decisions over some of the leading hurdlers in the country. His place at or near the top of the Middle West hurdlers can­not be denied .

captai n for thi s season and Sa fl ey ancr D ris­kill are out fo r Iht: squad .

W ith the ~:xcepti on of eamans and Pledges mith and Sa fl ey a ll the boys are

back in school and the chapter made an 83 average for the past term. Langford made the honor roll.

Out of the starting live in basket ball th is yea r, Alpha-Omicron had four regulars. They were Safley, Seamans, Frankl in and Pledge Smith . Southwestern tied for the conference champi onship.

When the past basketball season ended, it was found that the Southwestern Pirates were Co-Conference champi ons of the T exas Con­ference. This champi onship was due largely to the work of four II K A's-Seamans, Smith, Safl ey and Franklin . Out of the start­ing live, four were from Alpha-Omi rcon.

Smith and Seamans were two of the smoothest working forwards in the state. Each pos~essed remarkab le speed and it was almost ;mpossi ble ro stop them. once they got started . Seamans has a wonderful eye for the basket and can !'ass with the best of them. Smith was the outstanding defensive forward in the conference and worked wdl with his team mares.

On the other hand, Shafl ey and franklin were about as good guards as could be found anvwhere. Their ab i l ir~ ro work rogether was the keystone to tht>\r success. Both have a good eye for the basket and are excellent dribblers. Frankl in's work at rimes seemed su perna tu ra l and Safley was noted for his consistency.

After several yea rs absence, Brother W ater­ston, A lpha-Omicron. returned ro George­town ro coach Georgetown hig h school.

At the time of his arrival the prospects fo r the year did not look so br ight for Alpha­Omicron. N evertheless ou r good brothers, W aterston and Robert A . Smythe, got tO­

gether and as a resu lt Watersron was ap­pointed alumnus advisor. At the end of the yea r one would be surprised ro see the change in the situation. Financial situations are better and the chapter has doubl ed in strength . With Waterston back next year, we are looking forward to a very prosperous year. W aterston was one of S. U.'s outstand­ing athletes.

Capt. Fulkes of the Pirate track stars is also from Alpha-Omicron. Last season, after the rest of the ream was in shape, he recov­ered from an operation and develo ped into one of the conference's outstanding dash men. Thi s year, after being elected captain, he is p roving his right ro the posit ion by winning the 100 yard dash, the javelin, the 440 and the last lap of the relay.

II K A Baseball Team Wins New Mexico Championship

By Jo E T . MozLEY, M. S., Beta-Della. New Mexi co.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.- During the past few months members of II K A on the campus of the Universi ty of New Mexico have been prominent in outside acti vi ti es.

Frank Stortz was the outstanding man on the Varsity track squad during the current season. Frankie was high point man in the New Mexico Intercollegiate Meet and, de­spite the fact that he to re a ligment in his leg, was runner-up for individual honors in the dual meet wi th Arizona U. Stortz entered several events, among them the pole vaul t, high jump, broad jump, javelin, and the hurdle races .

Carl Henderson finish ed his track career this year. Carl has the di stinction of having never been beaten in the javelin since he establ ished the present Southwestern record in 1927.
