THE LAUREL

JANUARY, 1936

Three Decades

M ARCH 17, 1936, marks the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Phi Kappa Tau. In the three decades which have passed since our four Honored

Founders gathered in Old Main Building at Miami University great changes have been wrought in American educational institution s. College enrollment today is more than five times that of 1900; most college buildings have been constructed since L900; the course of study in 1936 is vastly different than that of a third of a century ago. Despite these changes, Phi T aus jealously cling to the Founders' ideals, which have made possible moral, spiritual, and social development of more than eight thousand men.

Through the efforts of the Honored Founders and those who have followed, Phi Kappa Tau for thirty years has been a constructive adjunct to the system of education. If Phi Kappa T au is to continue an enduring part of American colleges and universities it must stand definitely and in a four-square fashion for the real objectives of the Fraternity.

It must put scholarship above every phase of college I if c.

It must emphasize the ideals which arouse valiant emotions, stir potential talents.

It must encourage genuine culture, clean-cut living, clear business integrity.

It must develop sympathetic understanding, provide a helping hand in times

:lf need.

It must foster wholesome fellowship, create endw·ing fri endships.

It must s tand for sound finance, conservative growth, and the firm conviction that a fraternity should lead men rather than be led by them.

By sincere devotion to these principles will Phi Kappa T au honor Brothers Shideler, D ouglas, Borradaile and Boyd, who established Phi Kappa T au three

decades ago. - 3 -

President Roland W . Maxwell, Coun· cillor P aul T. Gantt, and Secretary Richard ]. Young were Phi Kappa Tau representatives.

Answering the question, "H ow can we vitali:e our fraternity life and make the fraternity more useful to the college," Dr. H en ry M . Wriston, president of Lawrence College, in a stirring address recommended "an audit of experience" to prove the value of the fraternity. He declared that the college fraternity had made an mvalu,thle contribution w the American educational system and was a force for great gootl.

1936 CONVENTION A S THIS issue of The Laurel goes to press decision regarding the site

for the 1936 Convention still is pending before the Grand Council. Unavoidable delays have been encountered, but the Grand Council expects to announce the place for next summer's meeting in the very near future.

Probably the Convention will be during the days of August 27, 28 and 29. Several likely places are being considered, and indications are that the Convention will be held in central or eastern Pennsylvania. With re­tluctlons of fares on all eastern railroads becoming effective in J une con• siderable saving will be made in travel expense. By the new regula­tion rate schedules which have been in effect on southern and western ratl­roads will also apply to lines in the East.

As soon as the site is selected all Resident Council and Graduate Council officers will be notified, and fuil information regarding the 1936 Convention will be supplied in the Summer issue of The Law·el.

3. The lnterf raternity Conference to urge Deans of Men to (a) have legislation adopted by Boards of Trustees forbidding H ell Week, use of the paddle, and all forms of ha:oing; (b) urge them to hold chapter presidents personally re­sponsible for imtiation practices; (c) urge chapters to enforce rules against Hell Week, ha:z.ing, and paddling.

W altlen pointcJ out the many evils of H ell W eek and said that the institu­tion persists because of indifference on the part of college administrators and undergraduate fraternity men. As a remedy he suggested the following plan: I. Education campaign against H ell Week

to be conducted by the College Frater­mty Secretancs Assoctation and the In· tcrf raternity Con f ere nee:

IT.

I. Speakers from the Conference to add rcss student bodies al various in;,titution~.

Other matters considered by the con­ference included fraternity finance and the problem of uti li~ing to the utmost the cultural faci lities· of the fraternities. In chis latter regard, Sir James Colqu­houn Irvine, vice-chancellor of the Uni­versity of St. ·Andrew, oldest university in Scotland, founded 81 years before the discovery of America, had this to say:

"The fraternity system arose through the early recognition of the fact that the student •s a human individual, not merely something into which knowledge ts to be crammed. l. Each fraternity to adopt legislation

against Hell Week immediately . ., Each fraterntty to submit its legis- ·'One thing I implore of you gentlc-

alive in a fraternity. Away with ha:ing, 1f such there be. Away with customs which may he a lowering of dign_ity, may even in extreme cases be degradm[.t. Let us keep our banner high and our honor clear."

"Transmit the ideals into action and make the college fraternity a powerful force for good on the American campus" was the plea of H arold ]. Baily, Beta Theta Pi, newly elected chairman. H e presented the following specific sugges· tions for making undergraduates con· scious of the criteria:

" Require pledges to memorize the Fra· termty Criteria as a part of their pledge training. Require each pledge before his initiation to write a letter to his parents containing an autographed copy of the criteria and telling the people at home what the fraternities stand for and what they are trying to do. Place a framed illuminated manuscript of the criteria on the walls of every chapter house. Re· quire some senior to address the chap· tcr meeting on one of the articles at least once a month, or arrange a discus· ~ion on how best to apply or improve them. Develop some method for the hetter !oct~ I application of the criteria."

RESIDENT ADVISERS T wo studies were reported by Pro·

fessor R . H . Jordan, Chai rman of the Committee o f Resident Advisers in Chapter H ouses. Out of a survey of 121 educational institutions, 8 1 stated that thq• favored the plan for resident ad· viscrs. T wenty institutions arc readv to remit all graduate fees to chapter advis· crs: nine are willing to remit part. Le· h1gh, Tll inois, and Syracuse are trym~ out the plan very thoroughly.

Albert Lee Stephens Appointed United States District Judge

* * * Southern California Phi Tau Honored by Selection for Federal

Bench by President Roosevelt

* * * BEFORE a large gathering of digni­

taries of the bench and bar and in the presence of his immediate fami ly, Albert Lee Stephens, of Pi Chapter at the University of Southern California, a veteran jurist, was administered the oath of office as judge of the United States District Court at Los Angeles last fall. Appointed to the Federal bench by President Roosevelt, judge Stephens re·

ti red from a position on the Caltfornia Superior Court.

Unusual was the ceremony at the in­duction of Judge Stephens for he un· questionably is one of the best beloved of Southern California Jurists. Standing room in the Los Angeles courtroom was at a premium and scores were tu rned away at the time of the installation.

Eight Phi Taus Attend Conference in England

Eight members of Phi Kappa T au were among the hundreds who attended the World Convention of Disciples of Christ in Leicester, England, during the summer of 193 5. Ministers who attend­ed the church conference were: Law­rence A shley, C. N. Barnette, A. C. Brooks, Jacob C. Darnell, Joseph Fal­coner, and M. G. Schuster, all of Theta Chapter at T ransylvania; W . H . M cKin­ney, Phi Chapter at Bethany; and James DeForest Murch, Beta Chapter at Ohio University.

''This is a red-letter day in my life," declared Will Anderson, veteran Los Angeles lawyer. "J udge Stephens, AI Stephens, is one of my boys. H e was almost left on my doorstep, an infant in law, and I nurtured him until the young eaglet spread his wings and flew away £0 higher crags. I don't know anythmg more deserved than his appointment to the Federal bench."

'"How can I S<l}' more than just vow thttt the solemn o.tth will be to me a guidtng star," he clcclued.

In Phi Kappa Tau, Judge Stephens is one of Pi Chapter's most active and en­thusiastic alumni. He takes arcat inter­lSl in affairs of Pi Chapter, is" a frequent Vl'>ltor at the chapter house, atlends ini­tiations, part1c1p.tte~ 111 banquets and other chapter functions. Men of Pi Chapter have great ,tdmiration and res­pect for this renowned jurist whom they know as a friend and hrother.

Those puzzled by the queer sounds de­cided to investigate, thinking that per­haps a radio had been left unattended. Upon entering the room two of the pled­ges, Ben Nicbcl and William Schiefley were found nomharding each other with incoherent phrases and strange con tor­tions. After questioning the boys con­fessed that there was no plot afoot- they were only conversing in their adopted tongues.

Pledge Niche! was born in the interior of China, the son of a medical mission­ary; Pledge Schiefley was born in Korea, the son of a dental missionary. Both have spent a considerable portion of their lives in Asia. Niebel attended a Chinese boarding school for four years. Schief­ley's re.lativcs in this country knew of his hirth the day before he was horn be­cause of the international date line.

Oriental chatter and life has now usurped a place in the Omicron fireside sessions.

Thirtieth Year

* THREE decades on the campus at

Miami that's the span of Alpha Chapter, 1906 to 1936.

And in that period the name of Shideler is the Alpha and the Omega !

In 1906 'twas William H. Shideler with three Olher hrave lads who laitl the foundation for the Fraternity which has spread far and wide from the Miami campus Juring the past thirty year . In 1936 'lis his son, James H . Shideler, who follow:. in his father's footsteps to serve as pres1dent of the Resident Coun· cil almost a third of a century after h1s dad.

Unusually striking is the marked like· ness in this father and son relationship. Characteristics of the father, who was the most important factor in estahli•h­mcnt of Phi Kappa T au, arc repeated with strong emphasis in his son. As smccrc a· h1 father, whose 2 5 }'Cdr:' on the M 1,1m1 ft~culty have earned him a followmg of Miami's most loya l alumni, young .Jm1 has administered chapter affairs much the same as his father proh· ably did early in the twentieth century.

f ul in his administration of chapter affat rs. His keen appreciation of the place and purpose of the college ~rater­nity has enabled him to make ~h• Kap­pa Tau at Miami a potent, acttvc force in undergraduate life during the present school y.:ar.

Thtrty years ago when four men at Miami banded together to secure rccog­mtion among the campus organi:ations, three ( undamental characteristics guided the leaders as they chose others for their ~elect group. They emphasi.:ed inn~tc worth as a qualification for membcrsh1p ; they stressed the democratic nature of the organization; they insisted upon Christian ideals. Probably the elde r Shideler's most important role in the early history of Phi Kappa Tau was the part he played in the determination o_f these fundamentals to govern the orgam­:ation. H is direction of the group throu~h the first and stormy history of its career, his loyal and earnest work for Phi Kappa T au during the past three decades are evidence of his devo· tion to a cause, to a principle. and to an ideal.

Like his father in the early days, young Jim has been a strong, directing force in the chapter at Miami. Guided always by his sound characteristic of fairness, tempered in all actions hy his keen sense of equality, strengthened by his ah1lity to select most capable men for important chapter rcsponsihtlttics, he h<ts experienced a most successful year ,\c; President at Alpha.

" Just a chip off the old block," com­ment old-timers when they sec Jim in ,u:: tion.

DAD Is DAY Written by William L. McCoy, father of

William N. M cCoy. for the Dad's Day cere· monies at Omacron Chapter at Penn State.

Mothers have been lauded In soncrs and !\tory, too,

And all "'the fine things mentioned Are absolutely true.

To minimize their attributes Is furthest from our thoughts,

Yet the Dads should get some credit For the fact they know who's boss.

One day each year was set aside For M others everywhere,

With none for Dad 'til recently, And yet they didn't care.

They were content to do their work And pay the bills when due;

To make their families happy, Also 'round them pleasures strew.

Finally Dad did get a break­They've given him a day.

The world has 'wakened to the fact That he's the one to pay

For coll.::ge educations And expense to run the house,

So he's getting well earned honor, Same as his heloved spouse.

N ow to you Phi Kappa Tau Dads I'm hoping to be one-

Our job is big, means tireless work, But with it, lols of fun.

The boys look up to us with pride­W e can't betray that trust-

Let's stand behind them all the time And he REAL DADS OR BUST!

Now boys, to you we want to say W e're interested in you

And, if at any time you feel There's something we can do,

Don't hesita te to let us know, W e're at your beck and call,

For, as Dads, we're going the Limit, Whatever may befall.

FOOTBALL STARS OF 193 5

of college and university football teams during the 193 5 season. Although the group provided no scintillating stars of the calibre of John Baker, Southern California, nor Leo Raskowski, Ohio State, there were many men of marked ability among last fall's gndiron crop.

Outstanding among the football men of 193 5 was Frank ]. Loebs, end, who was given the unanimous vote of his teammates as the most valuable player on the Purdue football team. This hon · or is more than JUSt a hollow gesture, as it is recognition hy the entire team of the man who has done the most during the year to further team play, moral and standing of the eleven. On New Year s Da>' he was a member o( the East team

111 the annual East· W est game in San Francisco. Loebs has had few equals as end in his three years on the Boilermaker elevens, during which time he has played in only five losing Big Ten encounters. This year he set an enviable record by playing 390 minutes out of a possible 480. Loebs is a senior, and Purdue will find it difficult to fill the shoes of this man who has starred at right end for the past three seasons.

Prominent in the East were George Perrault, co·captain and guard, and Jim Brown, tackle, on the strong Syracuse University eleven. Perrault, a senior, will be lost to the Orange after three years of outstanding service on one of the strongest lines in t h c country. Brown, a junior, will be available again next year.

Other Greeks Phi Kappa T au joins other Greek·

letter organizations in profound sorrow over the recent death of George Banta, Sr., a member of Phi Delta Theta and a friend of fraternities everywhere. Mr. Banta died at his home in Menasha, Wis. , last Sept. 23, in his seventy· eighth y~ar. An early adherent of the Nati onal Interfraternity Conference movement in 1909, he established the Greek Exchange in 1912, thereby pro· viding a journal to represent interests of all college fraternities. In his death the college fraternity has lost a wise counsellor, a fearless advocate, and a de· voted friend.

Loyalty is the greatest lesson one can learn in college and that loyalty can be a very diverse one. The paramount loyalty is to the institution which makes possible the fraternity- the university, for the fraternity must always be an ad­junct of the university. The loyalty to the natiOnal organization without which permanency of any local chapter would be endangered. - The Quarterly, Pi Ep­silon Pi.

Quoting the article in full, The Phi Gamma Delta says. "To The Lame! of Phi Kappa T au we turn this month for the most quotable article. It is a defini­tion of The Ideal 'Fraternity Man by Dean William E. Aklennan of Miami University." Thank you!

"Don't permit your chapter to develop deadbeats. Make every man pay his fra · ternity bill every month. A fraternity is a character making institu tion." Ex· cellent advice from The Rattle of Theta Chi.

A Fraternity Audit of Experience By DR. H ENRY M. WRISTON, President, Association of American Colleges

Excerpts from an address delivered at the Interfraternity Conference.

colleges are not going to catch up with the fraternities over a considerable period of years .

Take, for example, architecture. shudder when I see the neo·Greek and then the near· Tudor and the awful Gothic and the close-English of some of the fraternity houses, not to mention the pseudo-colonial. But after I am all through shuddering at fraternity house architecture, I gasp at the architecture that the colleges have inflicted upon their dormitories.

I COME as a kind of ambassador to interpret you to yourselves and to

each other and to the colleges. It is like the Bishop of Birmingham, who, on one occasion was making a speech to a group of railroad men in England. H e said, ''You have done a wonderful thing. You have gotten four nationali· tics to understand each other: an Eng· Iishman who loves his Bible and his beer; the Scotchman who keeps the Sab· hath and anything else he can lay his Ninety per cent of the dormitories of hands on; the Welshman who prays on America have no living rooms whatever.

The first thing I think that ought to that there arc many colleges in the he spoken of in such an audit would he country which, if they should close the housing situation.

were proud of mortgage row in the ro.aring twenties. I have no patience w1th those college administrators who say, "W c cannot control the f ratern i· ties." We can control them. It is one of the easiest things in the world. Gen· erally speaking, we control them when we don't intend to control them anc.J we don't control them when we do in · tend to control them. That is wha t the trouble is.

The college president who won't let the students cat in the house and wen 't let enough of them sleep in it to pay the , rent and then complains that they don t fu lfi ll any profound functions has been controlling them without know:11f1 he has been controlling them. ''

. The last i.tem in this housing problem IS the question of discipline, of internal morale, of respect for property, of re· gard for the feelings of those with whom one is associated in his dai ly life and I think there is no question that in nine out of ten cases the fraternity is much better in these respects than the college dormitory. c

The atmosphere of study is just as good a~d prohably better in the average frat.'!rntty house than in the dormitory. And there is much more of self·control much more of experience in developing themselves among those who live in the fraternhy house.

I suggest therefore that an audit of cxperi,.,nce in the matter of housing would s~ow many shortcomings and many mtstakes on both sides; it would open the way to needed changes and rc· forms on both sides. But taking the country at large and the fraternities at large, a substantial halance would he found in favor of the fraternities for certainly they were the first to gi~e us college homes of comfort and conven· ience, and they ought not readil y yield up that tradition or that heritage.

arship. And here you may well begi. t to quake and to trembJe for as one distinguished educator has said the fra · ternities fail to show the zeal which they should for contributing to the in· tellectual life of the college, and that is a very serious indictment.

But what ca n be said on the other side? The exhaustive North Central As· sociation study reveals a tremendous and astounding variation among col leges. And there is shortly to he puh· lished a study which will reveal as the result of the Pennsylv~nia Study that in one college at least, a college with a good reputation, many students went backward instead of forward intellect· ually.

In other words, if the colleges of the country were to select the Chicago Plan and give a degree on the basis of a com· prehensive examination without refer·

THE LAUREL OP PHI KAPPA TAU

from the freshman classes as from the senior classes.

Now that is something that the col­leges ~ust face and it is somethin~ which the fraternities must face. It IS

perfectly clear on the basis of that one statement that many colleges have n~t made the usc of the fraternities in th1s matter that they might have made. T o put it down in few words, the frater­nities accept no one whom the colle~e does not admit, and if the colleges will admit people who have no intellectual mterest and very little intellectual ca­pacity, then they cannot look to the fra­ternity to perform a miracle and sub­stitute what 15 not to be found in the original.

The balance sheet is likely to show that the fraternities have been vastly derelict in this matter and that neither party has been adequately sensitive to the new conceptions of scholarship. You have been paying far too much attention to grades. But, again, it was the colleges who invented the magic of the unit and the credit and the one hundred and twenty points and then a degree. And we can scarcely expect the fraternities to take the lead in overthrowing that mechanism.

Cooperation

The third item in this audit of experi­ence should be the structure of the fra ­ternity and of the college .

I am here to suggest that this audit may reveal that the fraternity exists in one respect for the same purpose as the college, for individual development, and that the fraternity, while it cannot have the tests and measurement data, has an intimate understanding of the student's daily life which no test can reveal.

put into one hopper and sorted out and then by and by some expert goes through and, analyzing the anecd~te from each one, tries to form a real pic­ture of the real character of that stu­dent. Well, that is a good substitute. But an infinitely better way is to get data from his fraternity brothers who know his uprising and his downsitting, who know how the boy behaves at table, who know whether he is civilized or un­civilized. They have all of the anecdotal data to fill a book about that individual boy, and the moment has come- and I think the audit will show it- when the college and the fraternity should unite what they know about the student tech­nicaUy and what they know about the student personally.

I come at last to a conclusion. This audit ought to do one more

thing. There is nothing in the world to­day that so tends to dishearten me as the defensive character of modern civil­ization. I am so sick of safety first. W e want safety, but let's have it last. Let's have some sense of adventure. Let's take some chances. Security is no ideal for a nation. And I don't like the fact that the fraternities, being under fire and gaining a bad press, as you have gained a bad press at Yale and Dartmouth and elsewhere, have taken a defensive line.

Let's get off the defensive all of us. T his audit of experience would call your attention to and prove many shortcom­ings, but I have fundamental faith that the balance sheet would show that you still have funds and balances, that you still have reserves, and that the depres­sion and deficit have not eaten up your capital. And if it did nothing else than to take the fraternities off the defensive and start them forward on some great, constructive program, it would he well worth while.

There is now being developed a new technique called the anecdotal record, in which every professor in the college is asked to note facts about the students, The Phi Chi medical fraternity has what he did in the classrooms, what he recently announced the organization of said, with no interpretation thereof a P lacement Bureau with all inquiries whatever, and all of these anecdotes are sent to the grand secretary.

THE L AUREL OF PHI KAPPA T AU

19 3 6 GOAL * Alumni Interest

* Support of Graduate Mem-bers Necessary for

Strong Resident Council

* By } ACK W. }AREO, Omega

FOR .1936, let o~c definite aim of all Res1dent Councils he the creation of

greater alumni interest in the chapter and in Phi Kappa T au. By sccurin~T alumni interest in chapter development;, there naturally will follow greater alum· ni support for all chapter affairs.

Perhaps the question might he asked by some chapters, why do we need alumni support. Here are some reasons why strong alumni support is to be de· sired :

First, it is the general conviction that alumni are the backhone of the frater-

chapter can hope to secure continuous alumni support without an up-to-date and accurate maJ!ing list. No matter how inexpensive the mailing may be, it is a w;1ste of money if it does not reach its destina tion. The problem of a gootl address list is no small matter, and its care should be entrusted to a responstble member of the chapter. Accurate mail­ing lists may be obtained from the C en· tral O ffi ce. Second, achieve the goal of regular and frequent contacts by plan· ning a t least four mailings a year. M ore would increase the desired results. Con· sider the chapter 's finances and plan to make a definite investment in better il lumni support through a publication on a regular schedule throughout the rear. Third, appoint one or more active members, preferably upperclassmen, to be responsible for directing the chapter mailings. The mailings should be newsy letters, carefully prepared to s e c u r e greatest effectiveness through use of material that will attract the greatest in· tercst on the part of alumni-that would be in teresting to the editors after they have been a lumni for I 0 years.

The chapter publication or news let· ters should certainly contain first, news about the alumni, and then news of things of general interest to alumni, rather than making the letters only about what men in the undergraduate chapter a re doing. Biographical ques· tionnaires sent out with mailings are an excellent means of securing alumni news for futu re mailings, and this information returned to the active chapter is also in· valuable in verifying addresses in the chapter's alum ni fi le and for furnishing <.lata for chapter records on all alumni members.

Pledge As

Roster Rushing

Increased Activity

To 500 Continues

CONTINUING an aggressive rush· ing program following the opening

of school, chapters report an additional 199 men pledged since the report in the Fall Number of The Laurel. In view of the fact that some chapters, and many fraternities, overlook the real possibilities of securing men of high calibre after the first intensive rushing period, Phi Kappa Tau chapters in general arc to be highly commended for their interest and activi· ty in pledging men who were overlooked at the start of the year.

Experience of a majority of chapters is proof that many of the best men, those who are most worth while for Phi Kappa Tau, are pledged after members of the chapter have had an opportunity to become acquainted with them and their possibilities. There should be no termination to a rushing period. Actual· ly, chapters should be on the lookout for capahlc men during the entire school year. Those chapters which carefully select men, even though a quota may have been obtained in the fall, are gcn· crally the chapters which rank highest in scholarship, membership, finance and general all-round ability.

THE CHAPTERS

Auburn Scholarship Alpha Lambda

Trophy Won By Third Consecutive Time

By E ucENE ToMLINSON

A UBURN, ALA.- Winning of the Interfraternity Council Scholar·

ship Cup by Alpha Lambda is getting to be a hab1t. For three consecutive semes­ters Alpha Lambda has led, and for one semester the chapter had the honor of establishing the highest fraternity aver­age ever made on the Auburn campus.

Not all effort is being extended in the establishing of high scholastic averages. Sports come in for their share, along with campus activities. Especially active is the new pledge group, most of whom are out for one or more activities.

Paul Hicks, senior, in addition to be· ing chapter treasurer, is a varsity mem· ber of Auburn's championship polo team. H e also is an instructor in the ladies riding class. Recognition of h;s riding ability is further shown in his selection as major of the Mounted Bat· tery. H e graduates this year in E lectri· cal Engineering.

Eugene T omlinson, senior, president of Alpha Lambda, has a varied program of activities. In sports he won a letter on the rifle team that has enjoyed unus· tJal success in national matches. Along other lines, he is represented in Interna· tiona] Relations Club, Interfraternity Council , Delta Sigma Pi, business f rater· nity, and R.O.T.C. captain.

Another senior in Business Adm:nis­tration who is a campus leader is ]. P. H andley. H e is serving as stewar.d and house manager of the chapter, and in ad­dition to all this work, he finds time for other activities. H andley is president of

the Y.M.C.A., member of International Relations Club, Tau Kappa Alpha, Del­ta Sigma Pi, and is first lieutenant in R.O.T.C.

The other executive offi cer, Vice-Pres­ident A. C. W eid, senior in Electrical Engineering, comes in for his share of campus honors. Election to membership in Eta Kappa Nu came as recognition of his high scholastic standing.

The only varsity member of the bas­ketball team is joe W ood. H e captained the freshman team last year and is mak­ing a bid for the center position a.s a sophomore. T wo freshman pledges are out for basketball . They are James W ad­dell and Theron Karge. Both were let· ler win ners in high school.

P hi T au pledges were represented three times on the freshman football squad. George Gerakitis is the most prom1smg prospect at fullback. He played in every gan:e and is certain of varsity honors. Dar. Johnson was out for halfback and should improve with added experience. Z ip Adams was another as· piring halfback. H e was ineligible be­cause of a transfer. Zip is also a pros· pect for varsity baseball. H e will be a sophomore next semester and should make a strong bid for catcher.

The majority of sport-inclined fresh · men are going out for baseball. In addi­tion to Zip Adams, who was also out for football~ there are Tommy Burnum, El· ton Hulsey, and James W addell. Some good material should develop from this number.

THE LAUREL OF PHI KAPPA TAU

The newly organized boxing team will have a Phi Kappa T au representative. Ray Kierstead is a sophomore who is re· porting. Not much can be expected of the team the first year, but it should de· vclop fast. Kierstead has fine chance to advance along with it.

Music also has a place in Alpha Lamh· da 's makeup. Derwin Dimmerling, a freshman pledge, has hecome known on lhe campus for his fine quality tenor voice. He took first prize at the local amateur show and has been singing with a local orchestra. Needless to say, he is

a member of the Glee Club. "Dimmie" is working with his roommate, Theron Kargc, another freshman pledge, to or­gamze an orchestra. Both have cxper· ience in orchestra work, and D immerling has di rccted his own orchestra on a pro· fessional basis.

Alpha Lambda has its qucta of "might · have · beens." In the recent freshman class elections, Pledge M urray Richardson lost the vice-presidency by two votes. He is not daunted and, with his growing popularity, he should do bet · ter in another try

THE LAUREL OF PHI KAPPA TAU

In place of the old plan of rushing from the beginning of the year, a deferred system was given a trial. The plan al · lows no rushing for the first three weeks, and during the ensuing four weeks fra· ternities may entertain rushees at the chapter houses two evenings each week. Pledge buttons cannot be worn until the end of the seven-week period. Although the plan obviously is disadvantageous he· cause of expense involved and the length of the period it has some merits. The most important advantage is the oppor· tunity given the fraternities and rushees to look over one another.

A dinner dance in honor of initiates was held at the chapter house early this fall. This proved to be one of the most colorful social affairs on the campus for it was the first time a dinner dance had been held in a chapter house here. It is

planned to make this a traditional dance at Alpha in honor of new initiates.

A series of Christmas parties wound up social activities until after the holi­days. Included was a scavenger hunt followed by dinner at the house for actives, pledges and their dates.

Alumni and members of the chapter were guests at a dinner and show ar· ranged and presented by pledges at the chapter house just before the holidays. This is an annual affair.

Last hut far from least was the tra· ditional Christmas dinner for needy chil­dren of the village of Oxford. Following dinner there was entertai nment and pre· sentat10n of a useful article, a toy and candy to each unfortunate youngster. M etropolitan papers gave this year's af· fair considerable favorable publicity.

The climax of this great tournament will come only after the five best players in the house have been chosen. It w1ll consist of a tour­nament with the Corne ll chapter of Del­ta Sigma Phi.

With a comparatively inexperienced team, Alpha T au won high honors and wide recognition in the Cornell intcrfra· tcrnity touch-football season. In the op~ning game our representatives defeat­ed last year's champions by a decisive score. Although we <.lid not w1n the

Xi Chapter Wins Franklin and Marshall Trophy for Outstanding Fraternity

By F. M ERLIN

LANCASTER, P A.- For excellence in fraternity leadership and a ll ·

round proficiency on the campus, Xi Chapter has been awarded for the third time the Franklin and Marshall College Hager Trophy. By winning this cup the third time the Phi Taus now have permanent possession of the trophy.

Outstanding among the chapter's achievements is the scholarship standing. Xi ranks second among the Franklin and Marshall fraternities.

The sports record is rather remarkable, for the chapter has a representative in every varsity sport. And during the past two years the chapter has had a first, second or third place in every intra· mural event.

H uMPHREYS

When the Franklin and Marshall freshmen played the Gettysburg fresh · men last fall Phi T aus were responsible for all of the points. Sam Roeder, full · back, passed to William M iller, end, for the only touchdown, and Roeder kicked for the extra point. In the game with Temple freshmen the only touchdown scored by Franklin and Marshall was made by Roeder.

A review shows that Xi Chapter has won first place in intramural football, track, all-college relay, basketball, and '.vrestling during the past year.

Twelve men were pledged by Xi this year, the chapter ranking second among all fraternities in this respect.
