beauty and grandeur.

WHERE DO WE Young men are asking what to do about the war. Enlist? Get drafted? Study? With no official answers at hand, this is one analyst's report on the problem.

Tom Smith is a dark, stocky youngster of twenty, rated in the upper quarter of the junior class at an old famous and high-powered en-

' 0 0 gineering college- ftrst-rate maten-al. He happened to be with a couple of faculty instructors when news of Pearl Harbor started coming in , hot and hysterical , over the radio that Sunday afternoon. The fi.rst _wor?s started his Adam 's apple Jerkmg m his throat. The two instructors looked at each other, thinking fast in spite of the cataclysmic news.

"Now listen, son," they said, and started telling him.

In February, Dick Jones, a long, ham-handed kid from upper New York State, brought a knotty prob­lem to his agricultural college. The folks had written him to drop school and come on home-spring was com­ing, hired help was unavailable and, without his help, the old man just couldn 't work to capacity. A year and a half more schooling, however, would make Dick a valuable asset to American agriculture as a promising expert on plant pathology. He had registered for selective service in February, but he knew deferment was probable, either as an agricul­tural student in good standing or as an indispensable worker on the

and the combination of loyalty to his folks and applying what he had al­ready learned in stepping up produc­tion on the old place worked out a long way from a total loss for the nation. Harry took his fellowship determined to stuff his ears and pore more earnestly over the eccentricities of neutrons whenever a plane came temptingly buzzing over the Jab.

Nobody but the recording angel will ever know whether his defense research will be worth more as a Jap antidote than the high quality of flying he would probably have done, particularly when the Air Corps insists that a shortage of tough nineteen-year-olds is a serious men­ace to our war effort. In some ways the lucky ones are the kids, who can't find satisfactory answers to: "What am I doing loafing round h ere under the elms when planes are tak­ing off to bomb Rabaul again?"­and head for the recruiting office regardless. "I'm just fini ~hing high school. Should I start studying chem­istry in coJiege or enlist?" was one

apparently simple question recently pitched up to a high-ranking Selec­tive-Service official on a radio pro­gram.

"I couldn't tell without intimate knowledge of the individudal con­cerned," confessed the expert, "and even then I'd probably make a mis­take."

In general, Selective Service stands candidly back of the standard ad­vice handed out by the shrewd and boy-wise chief clerk of a local board in a famous old campus town: "Stick around, son. Don't go off the reser­vation. Get all the education you can in the time available. When we want you, don't think we won't let you know. " But beyond such gener­al counsel are numerous hitches baf­fling hundreds of thousands of

3

youngsters between seventeen and twenty-two, not to mention faculty edvi ~ory committees, ~ersonnel man­agers of war-y;ork factories, treasur­ers of college fraternities, fiancees, professional sounder-offers on be­half of American education and journalists trying to find out what gives.

Things are nowhere near so con­fusing for such youngsters in Eng­land, which, having been at war long­er, has shaken down to a sounder logic in allocating young man pow­er. The conscription age is down to nineteen and volunteer recruiting for His Majesty's armed forces has practically disappeared. Undergrad­uates at Oxford and Cambridge au­tomatically tie in with war training, the more fit headed for fighting ·or war production, the less fit for home defense and civilian supply. So far , the United States has been operating on a system involving too many war­ring principles and practices for the boys' peace of mind, or that of those responsible for making the system work.

The Answer to a Paradox Age groups are out of line, to begin

with. L ast December , the Adminis­tration, backed by military authori­ties, asked Congress to lower the liable-for-service age from twenty­one to eighteen. Congress would go no lower than twenty. The fact that hundreds of thousands of men were then still available in the original twenty-one to thirty-six range had something to do with that. Flocks of letters from voters emotionally re­luctant to consider youngsters of eighteen old enough to fight prob­ably had more.

Yet all along the Navy has en­listed boys at seventeen and the Army at eighteen, with parents' consent. The Army Air Corps has recently lowered its initial age to eighteen and thrown out all formal educational requirements to boot. For, according to military men, youngsters in the eighteen to twenty range are par­ticularly trainable for fighting. Phy­sical vigor is at its peak, reflexes ad­justable and heads teachable and, as yet, few home responsibilities or seriously steady girl friends exist to gnaw at their minds while in uni­form. With Selective Service unable to tap the resources of that invalu­able age group, the best fighting ma­terial in the nation would go unex-

4

ploited at peak condition unless old­style recruiting were still operating for the Navy, the Marines, the Coast Guard and the Army Air Corps.

A good deal of bewilderment re­sults. Many a late-teens youngster wonders why Selective Service t :!lls him over the radio to go on study­ing till called, while downtown on Main Street posters urge him to step right in and talk it over wi!h the Marines. Every time he turns on the radio ·he hears recruiting propaganda . Every time he opens a magazine he sees the pretty girl hovering round the man in uniform . Every head­line reminds him that good guys are still taking it and dishing it out. If he takes Selective Service at its word , what should he do with the two or three year gap before Uncle Sam takes over his destinies? Carry on with college and study anthropology as planned? Or consciously aim his courses a~ war needs? Or maybe get a war-factory job at good pay and save up m:mey for education after the war?

Few of those questions w o u I d a rise if the ages of high school grad­uation and Selective Service liability coincided and Washington were tell­ing all groups of likely fighting ma­terial where to do what. Some, how­ever, would still appear. For in­stance: "I had planned to start a law course next year after two years in college. I'm registered with my local board. My eyes are good enough for study, not good enough for 1-A.

she worked a year toward that goal. Again in the summer of 1941 she took up her studies and became a co-ed in addition to being a mother, wife and homemaker. She attended both sessions of summer school and the three quarters of the regular school year. During the t we I v e months which were climaxed by her graduation with Jim, she completed !;eventy-three hours of credit while maintaining a home for her husband, Jim and his sister, Coy, a graduate of the University in the 1939 class.

The Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry was conferred upon Brother Jim who was salutatorian

of his class. In addition to winning one of the nine Pi Kappa Phi Schol­ar Awards granted in 1941, be was a member of the Junior Cabinet for that year and president of the mathe­matics department honorary, Pi Mu Epsilon. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi , Biftad Omicrcn Delta Kappa, Phi Et~ Sigma, Xi Phi Xi and the Interna­tional Relations Club. He was grand alchemist of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, honor society for outstand­ing chemistry students.

Mrs. Johnson has already begun work toward her master's degree and hopes to do defense work on the side. Jim's plans are uncertain. He is now employed by the Eastman Kodak Co. in Kingsport, Tenn ., and has been offered a scholarship for 1942-43 by the University of Wis­consin.

Pi Kappa Phi salutes this mother and son team and wishes them every success in the days ahead.

Among the gallant defenders of the Philippines who lost their battle but won undying fame were two brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. A third brother, missing as the result of enemy action south of Java was an intrepid naval officer.

The two, now officially regarded by the War Department as "missing in action" are Capt. W. L. Dixon , Jr ., of Charlotte, N. C., a member of Tau Chapter and Capt. James A. Seay, of Whitwell, Tenn., a member of Alpha Sigma Chapter.

Missing in action south of Java is Ensign Richard Judson Towill , of Batesburg, S. C., a member of Epsi­lon Chapter.

The letter of the War Department to parents of the two brothers said that " it will consider the persons

fated Philippines in February, 1941. Ensign Towill is a native of Bates­

burg, S. C., having been born there October 5, 1917. He attended Bates­burg-Leesville High School and after. graduating there served a year as a page in Congress after which he entered Davidson College where he was initiated by Epsilon Chapter. After several years at Davidson he transferred to the University of South Carolina from which he was graduated in 1940. In the summer of that year he became a mid=hip­man and completed a training cruise on the USS Arkansas and training school on the Prairie State in New York Harbor. Upon completion of this training he was commissioned an Ensign D V (G) in the Naval Reserve on February 28, 1941. He requested duty with the Asiatic Fleet and was assigned to the USS

. ..... ... ....... , which was based at

Hong Kong but which later came back to Manila before December 7, 1941. He was reported by the Navy Department on March 3, 1942 as missing as the result of enemy ac­tion south of Java.

For a couple of summers between college terms Brother Towill work­ed with the United States Geodetic Survey in Arizona and for two sum­mers worked with other college boys at the Hotel Castle Park in Michi­gan. He is the son of Mrs. John Bell Towill, Sr., and the late Mr. Towill. His mother is a hostess at one of the dormitories at Winthrop Col­lege, Rock Hill, S. C. He has two sisters, Mrs. F. B. Fitch, Jr. , of Charlotte, N. C. and Mrs. Ralph Shoemaker, of Maxwell Field, Ala. His brother, John Bell Towill, Rho, is a lieutenant (1. g.) on duty at the Navy Yard, Charleston, S. C.

Leading the field of Alumni Chapters in the payment of VOL­UNTARY DUES is the 1941 leader, St. Matthews, S. C. Pushed by Columbus-Ft. Benning, Ga. last year, they are well out in front in '42. They have not yet equalled their record of last year but claim they will. The men in St. Matthews claim no other alumni chapter can lick them for they follow the simple policy of making their returns 100% .

The plan for receiving VOLUNTARY ALUMNI DUES be­came a year and a half old on June 30. What results have been obtained in the eighteen months since the idea was launched ? Where does your chapter stand in the lineup of contributors? Where do you stand? Did you send in your check in 1941? . . . 1942? Records have six months to run in this second year, so add your name to the list now. Help the record of your chapter in this plan to secure greater alumni participation in fraternity ac­tivities.

Since the plan was introduced a total of 523 alumni have con­tributed $1127.14 in Voluntary Dues. On the basis of 7092 mem­bers whose addresses are known this is a record of 7.3 % . In 1941 $776.68 was received from 473 men, and average of $1.64 per man. The average has been stepped up through June of this year with 1 SO men sending in $2.33 per man for a total of $350.46. An even one hundred of the men contributing last year have taken part in this year 's program.

You are asked to send in one dollar a year. Checks have ranged from $1.00 to $2 S .00, the first for the latter figure coming from the Army Air Corps' Captain Wilson ]. Seldon, Upsilon.

Mr. John H. McCann Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity 702 Grace American Bldg. Richmond, Va.

Dear Jack:

June 25, 1942.

I believe that you once before accused the Columbus-Ft. Benning Alumni Chapter of being one of the most active and ag­gressive Alumni Chapters in the country. Your accusation was accepted by us with considerable pride, but, in times as moment­ous as these, it has sometimes taxed our energies to live up to that designation. We believe, however, that "we have done it again," and we throw forth a challenge to all other Alumni Chap­ters and Undergraduate Chapters, and we dare · them to accept this challenge.

At our last monthly meeting on May 20th, it was voted unanimously that each member of our Chapter would contribute each month a minimum of a 25¢ Defense Stamp which would, in turn, be held- until a sufficient number of stamps are accumulated to Purchase a $25.00 Defense Bond in the name of the Fraternity. Thanks to very generous initial donations on the part of Bro­thers Kennon Matt, Emmett Cartledge and Park Brinson, it is the Pleasure of the Columbus-Ft. Benning Alumni Chapter to enclose a $25.00 Defense Bond, payable to the National Chapter, which we request be placed in the Endowment Fund. We are well on our way to the purchase of a second such bond at this time.

If we could, through this action on our part, initiate a nation wide movement on the part of all other alumni and under­graduate members to make a similar contribution once each month, we will feel that we have contributed someting lasting and of immense benefit to the Fraternity, as well as performing a pa­triotic duty, without working a hardship upon any single individual.

There is our challenge. we shall depend upon you to Pass it along to the rest of the Fraternity, and we hope that it Will be accepted in the same spirit in which it is tendered.

KAPPA PHI

Fraternally yours,

All who have read Brother Rank­in's appeal for "Free China, made from behind enemy lines, have been thrilled and deeply moved by it. There was not a word of appeal for himself or his fellow missionaries.

The first distressing news regard­ing the treatment of Dr. Rankin and his companions came on March 3:

"Via RCA F- Tsangwu- Ugly re­ports dysentery, typhoid, slow star­vation. Americans confined Stanley Prison, Hongkong. Contact there impossible. Try relief through Wash­ington and French authorities."

Appeals to the U. S. State De­partment brought immediate re­sponse from Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles who referred

the appeals to the International Red Cross. Not until June, in fact just as this article goes to press, was there any indication that the Red Cross had had any success in ar­ranging an exchange of the Ameri­cans trapped in Hongkong. Latest word indicates that they have been transferred to Shanghai, from where they will sail for an African port. There they will be met by diplomatic exchange steamer carrying interned Japanese from New York. The New York sailing, scheduled for late June, should allow Brother Rankin and his fellow Americans to return to this country within about two months.

Our thoughts are with Brother Rankin and his companions at this time. We sincerely hope that the last phase of this experience may be completed without untoward in­cident and that he may soon be at home with his family in Richmond, Va.

Where Do We Go From Here, Boys? (Continued from Page 4)

going services. As things stand, vol­unteer recruiting is their only way to get men. Many of their higher­ups prefer it that way. The Army Air Corps knows that those eighteen and nineteen year old boys are top material for pilot training, and makes a good case for its contention that the course of sprouts a pilot goes through is the equivalent of a good two years of college anyway. But it is easy to see why the Army ground forces, primarily dependent on Selec­tive Service, are uttering anguished howls .

True, veteran regular Army ser­geants tell you that draftees in their units are smarter, better educated and more easily trained than peace­time vo-lunteers. But they would be better still if the Army in general didn 't have to wait two years longer than the other services for a crack at the new crops of boys. Present schemes for taking 90,000 candidates for Army commissions out of draftee ranks would sound even better if the sister services, grabby for unimpeach­able reasons, hadn't been there first.

In one way, the services' eagerness to get hold of top-drawer raw ma­terial has enabled boys in college or planning to go to college to comb:ne hooking up with the war and stay­ing in the shadow of Old Main. Sub­ject to stiff mental and physical re­quirements, such youngsters can sign up early in college for reserve com­missions, usually getting reasonable assurance of at least two years on campus before being called into ac­tive service, sometimes an opportun­ity to complete their whole course for a degree. The Navy, for instance, with thousands of such potential of­ficers already in this academic cold storage, is now planning to sign up 80,000 more college freshmen and sophomores between eighteen and twenty. After some special prepara­tion courses on campus during cold storage, they will get channeled into active service according to how they pan out. Fifteen thousand of the best, headed for deck or engineering commissions, can stay to complete degrees. Twenty thousand more will go into Naval aviation at the end of their sophomore year. The rest are booked to leave college after their second year for training as apprentice

14

seamen, much as if they had volun­teered straightaway.

By virtue of the magic circle the Navy has drawn round them, all are clear of the Selective Service system. It will give the Navy a lot of good officers and a very fancy batch of seamen. But again, such arrange­ments--and roughly similar ones made by the Army Air Corps, Ma­rines and Coast Guard-are tough on the mass army that the nation ex­pects Selective Service to provide. No wonder the Army, bent on showing the nation 's youth that a commission can come out of waiting to be tap­ped by Selective Service, is loudly proclaiming that four fifths of its men training to be officers came out of selectee ranks.

As of now, however, both college administrators and the boys them­selves o '~::::1 exhibit an anything-but­the-draft attitude which has also been bad news for the Army. Navy and Army air branches run a dead heat in preference, Marines place, Coast Guards show, draft induction into the Army not placed. "We ad­vise our youngsters to stay on while they can," said one key campus of­ficial back when the Navy was of­fering cold-storage commissions in draft ages. "When we figure their local draft boards are getting close to them, we try to get them reserve commissions in the Navy or some­thing." The boys' uneasiness about the draft is reflected in such ques­tions as: "Aren 't chances of using what I know better if I enlist than if I wait to be called? " And thinking of instances they have heard of where two local boards decided matters differently on parallel cases of men applying for deferment: "Why can't they make local boards get together on what good grounds for deferment are?"

The Defense-Job Question The first is gradually being an­

swered by the boys' discoveries that drafted men they know occasional­ly trickle home on leave from offi­cer-training schools or with bars al­ready on their shoulders. The second is insoluble. The Selective Service Law purposely leaves wide discretion to local boards. Every now · and again there is a weird decision for the boys to gossip about. Much of the gossip, however, say both Selec-

tive Service officials and col!ege a~f ministrators, is the old busmess ·re remembering only when the um~'ti· boots one. In general, colleges te·fy­fy, local boards are doing a grati ingly intelligent job. tes

matics and write- concise- English courses that are more obvious ways to help prepare kids for commissions. The boys snort over those lists as much as some of their academic su­periors. "What they did here," one faculty member very close to stu­dents told me, "was take a standard course in American history, stir in a little corresponding European history, put some icing on top and call it Military Tactics I."

Brighter administrators train their sights steadily on subordinating the college to the general war effort. If war means that colleges must become either technical-training schools or mere real estate as lifeless as auto­mobile showrooms, it's all right by them. Unless the war is won, they figure, colleges as we know them won't survive anyway. When a boy at such an institution gets the itch to volunteer, the dean 's reaction de­pends on strictly individual issues. "As it happened, our volunteers so far have been boys who weren't too well adjusted to college anyway," said a smart young college president. " I didn 't exactly encourage them to go ahead, but they didn't get much discouragement. Never mind the tuition, they'll prove more in uni­form. And we do our best to play square with the boys' local boards. When a student asks us to take up his case with his local board, like as not we'll write, 'Go ahead and take him, for all of us ; there isn 't that much point in his keeping on with education.' " Many a local-board chairman devoutly wishes that such attitudes were more widely spread among the college officials he has been dealing with.

Expansion of ROTC facilities in this war, paralleling last war 's SATC, is unlikely, you hear, because the Army just hasn 't got officers or equipment to spare from draftee training. Some colleges, however, go well beyond an acceleration program . in efforts to line up solidly behind the war effort. Minnesota's Carle­ton College, for instance, is bloss~m­ing out with a high-powered flymg corps, including two thirds of the male students, with Navy, Army and Marines peacefully collaborating on intensive training of future fliers on a reserve-commission basis in college. Civilian pilot training, which goes a long way to ready youngsters for

military wings, is being boosted on other campuses. Harvard and Dart­mouth students are the nucleus of a Volunteer Land Corps, which sends below-draft or draft-deferred students out on the land as amateur farm hands at a minimum wage of twenty­one dollars a month and keep, to bat for the farm hands that. New Hamp­shire and Vermont farmers can't hire these days. In the Middle West county agents and high school prin­cipals are helping organize other such groups.

In the strictly technical field the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, New Jersey, has practical­ly thrown normal procedure into the Hudson River in the interests of top war production. Instead of just elim­inating vacations, Stevens has gone on a three-semester basis, seventeen weeks the semester, with instruction so foreshortened that a hard-work­ing youth can get a degree in three years of two semesters a year. The third semester he spends in a real job at full pay on actual war pro­duction in one of the big industrial plants with which the college has close placement relations. Three boys rotate one job among them during the year to solve the break-in prob­lem after the first twelve months.

This strenuous application of the well-known Antioch College system of sandwiching real work in between chunks of study is aimed at main­taining Stevens' mass production of war-industry engineers at the same time that it enables youngsters to get in tangible licks for war production with their own hands. It will grad­uate the boys with invaluable ex­perience of actual factory conditions in advance of getting permanent jobs, help them answer the question, "Why aren't you doing something concrete for the war, instead of sprawling in classrooms? " provide ample financ­ing for boys who formerly needed summer-vacation earnings, and sound gilt-edged to any local draft boards inclined to get out of line.

The only disadvantage the college administration can ~ee is that it may kill the faculty. To reduce that load, they plan to use the smartest juniors and seniors as student instructors in elementary courses during their work semesters, as work equivalent to the others' factory jobs. Many other educators regard the whole scheme

15

dubiously as tending to extinguish the general-education aspect of col­lege.

"We've got to make up our minds, " says one eminent college president, "whether we are an educational in­stitution or a technician factory. The war won't last forever. To deny any but the most direct technical ·knowl­edge to the present college genera­tion on account of the war is to pre­sent the postwar world with four or five years' worth of relatively ignor­ant young men."

The comment has point. But Stevens' hardy youngsters are taking to the arrangement without any more misgivings than lie in a realization they are all going to have to work like billy-o. And it looks as if en­rollment would be a third higher this fall .·

The late-April formation of a War Man Power Commission, containing representatives of government, arm­ed forces, labor, industry, and so on, to supervise allocation of man pow­er among agriculture, industry and, to some extent, Selective Service, may start clarity dawning in this confu­sion. At this writing, the commis­sion's powers are still hazy and con­tain nothing implying that voluntary recruiting will necessarily be stopped or that the beginning draft age will be lowered to the logical mark of eighteen. But the underlying idea­to start removing the catch-as-catch­can elements from the situation- has everything to recommend it.

For months Selective S e r v i c e spokesmen have been plaintively maldng such statements as: " It would be the part of wisdom to let the orderly working of the Selective Service System determine when a man should leave the farm, or fac­tory, or business, or college to take his place in the armed forces." Grant­ed both the principle of conscription and the extent of the emergency, that is a marvelously understated conclusion.

Very likely some will grumble if over-all application of the Selective Service principle to all fighting ages takes practically all option out of their hands. Very likely there would be poignant protests from the sea­going services, which are so closely wedded to the volunteer-recruiting principle as to liberty blues. On

16

balance, however, Tom, Dick and Harry will be better off as individ­uals if such a step is made. It will not only take option out of their hands, it will also take most of the resulting confusions off their minds.

Chairman of Scholarship Committee

Scholarship and the Future This is called a scientific age, at

least from a material point of view, and our major problems and under­takings are comprehensive in their scope. The digging of the Panama Canal was not merely a problem of blasting and removing rock and soil. but one of health, sanitation, and proper food, water, and living facili­ties, and not until the knowledge along these lines was acquired and applied was it possible to complete the Canal. And any major modern task demands the pooling and use of every bit of possible knowledg~ and information that will help in its completion. Also a continual study must be made of the problem as its solution progresses.

We are at war-a tremendous task as we see it of preserving our free institutions. There was a time when the outraged citizens could seize their pitchforks and squirrel rifles and go forth to right wrong:;. and they could live off the land as they proceeded. Battles were local affairs and only the immediate combatants suffered

physical contact and injury. But the radio, automobile and airplane have changed all that. Now every man woman and child is a combatant, and the women literally fight shoulder to shoulder with the men. The whole nation is potentially a battlefield and

. . ' vtctones are won or lost in the fac-tories and mills, and mines and farms and in the laboratories and clas~ rooms. Ideas and slogans have be­come powerful weapons. Applied knowledge is paramount. Who can say who is most important: the en­gineer, chemist, physicist, mathema­tician, physician, agriculturist, far­mer, transportation worker, skilled mechanic, oil-worker, inventor bac­teriologist, psychologist, soldie;, sail­or, teacher, not to mention the forces involving morale: the preacher radio announcer and commentator' statesman, and the woman in th~ home? Each is in this war to the limit whether he or she will or not. But one must not overlook the fu­ture. In due time physical exhaus­tion, shattered morale, and recogni­tion of the futility of it all, will

17

bring an end to the physical and material warfare, and a time known as the period of reconstruction will set in. Reconstruction for what?

The First World War, we thought, was a war to end wars, but the re­construction period that followed was characterized by greed, hatred and preparation for the present struggle. In other words the war continued in that subtle and more dangerous form known as social, racial, and economic competition. We now see it clearly and as now the tasks of this phy­sical war are met by the pooling of all the known facts, so must the peri­od of reconstruction be also treated. One of the fundamental facts is that the solution of the problems of the future lies in the training of our youth today to meet those problems. The idealism of youth and the real­ism of maturity must be correlated in the great workshops of ideas, our colleges. Many a youth physically or temperamentally unfitted for physical warfare may and will never­theless play an important part in the period of reconstruction. The problems of social security, old age, rehabilitation of the maimed, racial, social and economic adjustment and equality, labor and capital, will be much more acute after the physical struggle has ended. Accordingly more emphasis must be placed on the training of our college students for the trying and dangerous period when reaction, bate, greed, and civic lethargy will tend again to become dominant. The groundwork for the victories and successes, as well as the defeats, of the future is now being laid in the class rooms. Scholar­ship, a term used to measure suc­cess in the acquiring of knowledge, must be recognized as fundamental , but scholarship must be a means to an end rather than a selfish and per­sonal goal in itself. The scholarship of the future must be practical and realistic, and every student now privileged to attend a university or college, should insist that his train­ing be comprehensive and vital.

The Philip Morris and Company Award

It now appears probable that the Philip Morris and Company Award will be available for the year 1942-1943 . This Award was made in 1939-1940 and 1940-1941 but w:ts

18

not made last year. It represents a stipend of $250 given by Philip Mor­ris and Company to Pi Kappa Phi which the Supreme Council of our fraternity has ruled shall be used in the furtherance of graduate study of some Pi Kappa Phi Scholar. Ac­cordingly any Pi Kappa Phi Scholar who plans to do graduate study next year is eligible to make application for this Award. All applications should be in the hands of the Chair­man of the Scholarship Committee not later than August 15 so that if the Award becomes available, th '.! successful applicant may be so in­formed by September 1. Applicants are expected to state clearly their purpose in graduate study and to outline so far as is possible their projected plan of study. The Award is payable in two equal amounts on or about September 1 and January 1. The recipient is expected to make a progress report toward the close of the school year which will be suitable for publication in THE STAR AND LAMP.

Duke Accelerates At the close of the spring semester Mu chapter elected

the following officers for next fall; Dudley Moylan, archon ; Fred C. Frostick, treasurer; Jack Maines, secretary; James H. Greene, historian ; John Cline, chaplain; and Owen Johnson, warden.

Many Pi Kapps have taken advantage of Duke's accelera­tion program and are attending summer school. Although the fraternity sections are not open during the summer, the brothers are in close contact with one another and are .actively planning for the fall semester. No change has yet been made in the University's deferred rushing program.

Mu has become nautical in the last few months. Many of the brothers have enlisted in the navy as reserve ensigns. This enables them to graduate before going into active service. Those enlisted are Brothers Aquilla Joyner , Word Clark, Dudley Moylan, James H. Greene, James Satterfield , Donald Herder, Charlie McAdams, Richard Roger , and Paul Bar­ringer.

Recommendations of freshmen entering Duke this summer or fall should be addressed to Archon Moylan at Box 4594 Duke Station, Durham, N. C.

Florida Moves Ahead Alpha Epsilon colors flew high during a military ball week­

end that brought three dances with Sunny Durham and his orchestra. The house looked almost like a sorority house with Pi Kapps and their dates enjoying a picnic and an early breakfast. Military ball week-end is known as the largest social function at the University. Our last socia l of the year, Spring Frolics, saw Alpha Epsilon as host for a tea dance, picnic and an early breakfast . Everyone reporting had a wonderful time.

The newly elected officers for the coming semester of the 42-43 are: Bob Cummings, archon; Bill Neal, treasurer; Jack Carpenter, secretary; Alva (Bud) Anthony, historian; Hiram Tribble, chaplain; Stuart Lofberg, warden; and Morris Good­win, steward.

The chapter recently inducted six men into Pi Kappa Phi. They are: Bob Gangl, Akron, Ohio; James Wilson Shaw, Mount Dora; Tecl Camp and Gregory Camp, Ormond Beach; James Peacock, Blountstown; and Cecil Costin.

Mother's Day was a celebrated day at Alpha Epsilon. Most of our mothers were present. All attended church that morning and then returned to the house for a special dinner. Mothers were welcomed by Archon Bob Cummings, and Mrs. Carpenter most graciously responded for them. Charles Parker acted as toastmaster. Several selections of Pi Kapp songs were sung by a sextet consisting of Brothers T y lander, Tribble, Parker, Goodwin, McDonald, and Force. Rev. Sterling made a short talk about Mothers. To con­clude the program, Henry Freeman presented each Mother with a necklace bearing the Pi Kapp crest upon it.

The chapter house is open this summer for many of the brothers are attending summer school. Many activities have been planned for the summer term, and there will be a great interest taken in rushing.

Alpha Epsilon is proud of her members serving Uncle Sam. This year we gave him eleven good men for his armed forces. Brothers Cox, Mundhcnk, White, Force, and Wicker received their commissions as second lieutenants at graduation. Other brothers already in the service include Frank Maloney, Bill Papy, Charles Parker, R. C. Edwards, Fred Devant, Jim McDonald, and Charles Pearce. We all feel that Uncle Sam, with the aid of these good brothers, will be able to slap the Axis just that much harder.

Alpha Zeta Active Realizing the need of maintaining chapter strength at itS

fullest during the war years, Alpha Zeta added several n.ew names to the roll of white diamond wearers during spriO~ term, bringing the list of affiliated men on the campus to 4ed at the end of the year. Ten new members have been add. to Pi Kappa Phi ranks during the past year. These are Jun Monahan, Lloyd Phillips, Leroy Porter, Gilbert ThotnP5011

and Jack Riley, Portland; Dick Stack, Marshfield; RoY Malo, Sheridan; Bob Butte, Albany; Evan Tabbert, Somers; Wise., and Russ Hupe, Auburn, Calif. Male enrollmen.t. an Oregon State has already dropped greatly and compet.JtiO among fraternities for good men is rapidly increasing. ch

Methods of improving rushing and pledge training te • niques were discussed at the annual conclave of Alpha Delta and Alpha Zeta chapters here in February. The conc!a.ve resulted in an optimistic outlook toward the future activit!es of both chapters. There was splendid cooperation and diS­cussion from a large representation of Alpha Deltans and a number of alumni.

The interior of the chapter house was repainted in t~rne for the annual spring formal, April 25, and further IITI'

provements in a decorative way include the addition of the a ll-school volleyball trophy to our mantel and a large, bea

1u·

pres~dent of Kappa Psi, pharmacy honorary, and Leroy Wad ner and Ed Go man have been initiated into the agriculture. an band honoraries, respectively. Dick Ross is to be business manager of the Barometer, 0 . S. C. daily. .

Six seniors were lost to the house through graduatiOn, and at least 15 more members and pledges will not .be back next year due to calls of the armed services and 111' dustry, but with summer rushing plans well under way, th~ future holds favorable promise for Alpha Zeta of Pi Kappa Phi·

During the year eight new men were initiated ; and we have six pledges to be initiated next fall.

The Chapter entertained its many guests and alumni on the first week-end in May with its annual Spring Dance. Sponsors for the event were the dates of the seniors. Among the many special guests were James Bisanar, Grover Fowler, and Robert Cline from Hickory.

In the Spring elections, we obtained the following offices on the campus: President of the Senior Class, Brother Par­rigin; Editor of the Annual, Brother Murray; three members on the Student Council, Brothers Parrigin , Bumbarger, and Wayman; Cheer Leader, Brother Wayman; Captain Track Team, Brother Parks; Co-Captain Basketball Team, Brother Wayman; Business Manager of the Magazine, Brother Eve; Captain of the Rifle Team, Brother Gowdy; Manager of the Tennis Team, Brother Parrigi n ; Manager of the Baseball Team, Brother McCrea; and the President of Eta Sigma Phi , Brother Parks. We feel that we have been very successful in the elections, and therefore are trying to get a very good freshman class next year ; so that we may maintain a good standing on the Davidson campus.

At the next to the last meeting of the yea r the following officers were elected to serve for the fall term : A rcbon, Jack Wayman; Treasurer, Erskine Parks; Secretary, Tommy Bum­barger; Chaplain, John McCrea; Historian, Price Lineberger; Warden, Ed Murray. Our representative on the Pan-Hellenic Council for next year will be Calhoun Hipp.

Cliff Kimsey, alternate captain of the Orange Bowl Champions of 1942, writes from Fort Benning that he is in a company with over 50 graduates of West Point. Brother Green Keltner, also a Second Lieutenant, is in the service as is Brother Clarence Vaughn. Lieut. J . T . Bradbury will leave soon for Cheyenne, Wyoming. Brother John Head is with the army engineers at Camp Edwards, Mass.

Not only are we sending our men to the services but we have started a victory garden which is already pro­ducing for the table. Lambda is on the march!

Speaking of marching, the path up to the altar has bef~ worn smooth by the brothers and there is no sign of a . ec up- they are still going. Lt. Green Keltner met Miss Ela'"e Daniels of Morrow only a few weeks ago. Brother Clarencd Vaughn has beaten down the path. Brother Linton Crawfor and Gloria Schwager pulled the wool over our eyes by keeP; ing their marriage a secret for over two months. Broth~n John Head and Miss Jacqueline Murphy plan a wed din~/ .

and ready to begin operations under the new Offense spec 11 Up Program. Plans had already been completed so that_ ~0 new men, who were to go into industry or directly 111

the armed forces, would graduate May 8, one month ear~ The college now operates on a system whereby men can 1 graduated in three years, thus speeding along the fulfillmefy of our ambitions to "Slap the Japs." Among the eari!l graduates were: "Bud" Ketchum, Gregg Gibbs, and B ~~- ·l

Upon leaving school "Bud" took up his duties as cbem'cae engineer in an aluminum plant in Badin, N. C. On Ju!J_ 5 be was married to Jeannette Bush of Raleigh and Wid mington, N. C. Before their marriage, Jeannette was aroun _ at the house so frequently that she seemed as much a merll her as "Bud."

F u allons to you Ward! of or some time there has been a decided need for a set han~hapter By-Laws. This undertaking has fallen into the We 5 of Archon Setzer and "Mutt" Gilbert. Incidentally as Wou!d appreciate a copy of By-Laws from any chapters

Ra g~•de in making ours. sib/shmg and pledge activities have been made the respon­as ••ty. of a membership committee with Brother Gilbert in Jha•rman. Since new students now come into the school ava' Iune, much of our usual rushing and contact time is not to 1 able. Through alumni and activities we have been able iet a large number of excellent rushees.

Pasthe chapter has enjoyed many socia l fea tures during the ha t~rm . The highlight of the season was one of the finest ct/ _ndes ever had. Finals found the entire chapter busy ne\a nmg up the house and grounds. The house looked like

v and the grounds like a different place after everyone

had finished. Even the front of the house was scrubbed with soap and water by Lem and "Mutt." Believe me, a fine time was had by all during the dances.

Rushing since the initiation has netted us three outstanding pledges. They are: Ed Padgett of Raleigh, and Winston­Salem, N. C., Bud Bristol of East Orange, N. ]. , and Billy Blow of New Bern, N. C. This summer's work will add several more to the pledge class. A few boys have just to sign the cards when they return to school. Our chapter house will be full this summer, and all in all, I think we are going to like operating in this season .

This summer finds Roy Coggin in the army helping to keep the Air Corps intact. Ward Bushee will spend the summer at Nantucket Island, Mass., at a beach resort. We all wish we were in his shoes. Some people have all the luck! ·

Tau wishes each of you success in the coming months, whatever you are doing--on the farm , in the office, in the factory, or in the defense of our beloved Country.
