A commitment to excellence bringsan excellent 39th Supreme Chapter
Frank Hawthorne, Alpha Iota, No. 262, Auburn, and Karl Gibbon, Upsilon No. 21, Illinois, conferover an issue.
Pi Kapps relax in the bright of midnight.
"Mr. President," yelled the Pi Kapp delegate as he quickly rose before his chair, "Imove that Frank Havard, chairman of the local Supreme Chapter Committee, be electedas National Social Chairman."
"Is there a Second?" said the smiling Lonnie Strickland, "All in favor?". The roomechoed a thundering hand clap as each Pi Kapp stood in appreciation of what the entirelocal committee had done the past five days.
The sound of the gavel opened and closed what many considered the "best Su-preme Chapter" ever. The theme for the Supreme Chapter was a "Commitment toExcellence " and excellence was certainly achieved.
Topping the list may be the social events. Every day was filled with activities tobring Pi Kapps together. Saturday night's get-together that followed the openingbanquet was an experiment in having fun without spirits.
Sunday's sunshine found the Pi Kapp's on the beach at Dolphin Island and in thewaters of the Gulf Coast. Sunday night brought lots of red faces and burnt backs.
Dog Day Afternoon was on a Monday as delegates of the 39th Supreme Chapterwere taken via Trailways to see the Greyhounds at the race track. Full smiles accompa-
nied many empty wallets. Cheers and yells could be heard as our sure winners won or,
unfortunately, lost.All this led to the final Coup de Gras at the Mardi Gras Ball held Tuesday night. In
a sea of Black Tux and long shining gowns 600 people were entertained first by the Le
Crew de Bienville who perfomed the Mardi Gras Ball tableau. Two bands alternatedplaying music so that the dancing never stopped. At 2:00, when the last song was
played, very few dancers were ready to quit. In fact, the traditional 505 Club kept goodtimes rolling back at the hotel.
There was also the serious side of the 39th Supreme Chapter. "Commitment to
Excellence" was taken seriously by each delegate as major changes for the good of thefraternity were made.
The 39th Supreme Chapter was dedicated to the memory of Ben Covington,George Grant, and Chic Quevedo who joined the Chapter Eternal this year.
Chic Quevedo was further honored as the prestigious Beta Circle Award wascreated in his honor to be awarded to the man who has given of his time, money andenergy to the expansion of this fraternity.
Pi Kappa Phi, while wishing this was not a problem, is attacking the abuse ofalcohol and other substance use in our fraternity. In an Alcohol Policy Position PiKappa Phi states that "Pi Kappa Phi views alcohol abuse as a serious personalproblem..."
A strategy for solving the problem was approved. Alcohol abuse will be includedin each associate members education program and the Warden will make a similarpresentation to the chapter. At least one rush function for each rush period must bewithout alcohol. Chapter Advisors are to receive information on alcohol and monitorboth the chapter use of and the Warden's program on alcohol. Each Chapter Consultantwill be trained in the problems of alcohol and be cognizant of each chapters use of alco-hol.
The Commitment to Excellence became evident in both external and internalexpansion. The Supreme Chapter dictated to the Administrative Office that expansionshould take place in three ways. One, that expansion emphasis should be in Californiaand Texas. Second, that a third chapter should be instigated in states that presentlyhave two chapters. Third, that the National Council is to make a concerted effort tore-establish at Duke University.
Internal Expansion was an expression of "Commitment to Quality". The studentshave asked the National Council to rigidly enforce the minimum chapter standards, andthen they raised those standards: The minimum chapter number was increased from20-25 or the average of the school but never less than 15; the minimum charteringnumber was raised to 30 men.
Perhaps the most intriguing change was in the ritual. The 39th Supreme Chapterdirected that the "Bell" become the official public symbol for the fraternity and that itbe examined as possible use in the secret and subordinate rituals. The new ritual wasperformed on Saturday night, and then approved at the first Supreme Chapter session.
It was recommended that the 40th Supreme Chapter be held at the followinglocations, in the order of preference, Charlotte, N.C. ; Chicago, Ill; Atlanta, Ga.
An outstanding Supreme Chapter closed with many changes, only a few which havebeen expressed here, but the strive for greatness was achieved. The gavel opened theCommittee to Excellence and the gavel closed a Supreme Chapter and a promise ofExcellence this year. 6,
Editor's note: Oh, by the way, we voted ourselves the official fraternity of the1984 Summer and Winter Olympics. I wonder who is really play-ing the games.
Alumni and Students raise their votes on the way to approving a record number of actions. A Pi Kapp delegate presents a motion for the floor.

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

THE BEST OF FRATERNITY:
Dear Pi Kapp Editor,The article by Mike O'Donnell on a
conclave for Area V was well done. I canonly hope the article will awaken the so-cial consciousness of responsible leaders,administrators, and persons in authority.It takes a lot of courage to point out theerror of their ways to ones own constitu-ency.
Fraternally yours,Walter C. Avery
Dear Pi Kapp Editor,I am pleased, although by no means
satisfied, that examples of a problem in-volving the misuse of alcoholic beveragesis being highlighted by The Star andLamp.
If a person cannot balance social needswith the course of study as well as investi-gate mores such as social drinking, a fail-ure will undoubtedly occur. Then theperson is due for a readjustment, eitherminor, or major-such as dropping out.The student, perhaps for the first time,has to consider performance versus finan-ces or performance versus DWI, or perfor-mance versus "blackouts".
Fraternally yours,Leonard J. Mance
Dear Pi Kapp Editor,I felt I had to go out of my way to
commend the courage of Michael O'Don-nell in his report "The Best of FraternityWasted Away At Conclave". I firmly be-lieve this should be required reading foreach pledge and certainly prior to anyperson ready for initiation. The lessonthere is most mature and extremely dif-ficult for those in our late teens and earlytwenties to truly grasp.
If our fraternal organization could
somehow reflect on this overall articleand the issues that it stirs and come upwith an answer acceptable to all sides wewould certainly make this world a betterplace. Appropriate moderation is the an-swer with built in measures to protectourselves from what seems to continuallyhappen.
Thank you very much,Kenneth C. Kiehl, M.D.
Dear Pi Kapp Editor,On a recent visit back to my chapter,
Gamma Kappa at Georgia Southern Col-lege, I was able to reflect on brotherhoodat its best in relation to a recent chapteraccident. In March of this year BrotherJerry Reynolds was heading to Floridafor Spring Break. His car went out of con-trol and struck a bridge support pillar inJacksonville, Florida. Listed in criticalcondition with multiple fractures, Jerry'slife had changed dramatically.
In response to Jerry's needs, the chap-ter came to his aid. Two chapter alumniin Jacksonville took it upon themselves tovisit Jerry every day of his three weekhospitalization. Two trips to surgeryrequired 70 pints of blood.
The chapter responded by paying thecost of Jerry's parents stay in Jacksonville,whenever not staying at another chaptermember's parent's home. To defray thecost of over $15,000 for the blood thechapter organized an all Greek blooddrive at Georgia Southern in which 160pints were donated in Jerry's name. Thiscut the blood cost to under $2,000. AJacksonville area alumnus, Steve Rawlins,who had been visiting Jerry regularly re-quested help from the chapter at Jack-sonville University. They gave 25-plusmore pints of blood. This surely showsthat brotherhood can reach past individu-al fraternities. All of these efforts went toa brother in need.
Jerry is doing extremely well now andwhen I saw him he was in great spirits a-mong his brothers. In order to help any-one else down the road the Gamma Kap-pa Chapter would like to establish ablood bank account under the name ofPi Kappa Phi. It is to be an all Greek ef-fort that any student at Georgia Southerncould draw upon when in need. Needlessto say throughout these events a numberof parents have become supporters ofGreek life.
Fraternally,A proud alum

I am honored to be chosen your na-tional president. This national council hassome extraordinarily talented people serv-ing you, and I am very enthusiastic aboutthe outlook for the next two years. The su-perb leadership that our fraternity has en-joyed in the past leaves us a legacy whichmust be cherished. I pledge to you thatyour council will make every effort to dojust that.
The next two years are going to re-quire a commitment to Pi Kappa Phi byour brotherhood such as we have never be-fore exhibited. We are at the threshhold ofgreatness and we will cross that threshholdif we don't stop ourselves. There are no ex-ternal limiting factors. As the famous car-toon character once said, "We have met theenemy and it is us". What then will be re-quired over the next several years?
. . at the dog tracks, David thinks Pi KappaPhi is off and running.
MONEY
"There ain't no free lunch." We areone of the leaders of the interfraternityworld in programming and yet we havefinancial resources that are only a fractionof the size of most top fraternities. Wecannot continue to derive the bulk of ourincome from student fees, (initiation andpledging). During this past year the nation-al council found it necessary to impose a$20.00 annual student fee in order to a-void operating at a substantial deficit. Itwould be easy to suggest cutting our ex-penses but two factors prohibit that step.First, our Executive Director operates ourfraternity with such frugality that there isvery little waste in our budget. Second, ourbrotherhood has made it clear that theiroverwhelming desire is to expand our quali-ty programming and climb to that pinnacleof excellence we so zealously covet.
One hope that last year's council hadwas that upon graduation many studentswould convert their annual fee to an annu-al voluntary dues contribution. Though ourannual voluntary dues receipts have con-tinued to grow, it has not been in propor-tion to the growth that we have experiencedin total membership. It is tragically ironicthat those who complained the most aboutthe lack of alumni support when they were
in the student chapters usually fail to pro-vide that support upon gaining alumni sta-tus. I suggest that anyone gainfully em-ployed could afford voluntary dues andthat it is only the lack of commitment thatinhibits a contribution.
The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation is underdynamic leadership. The trustees would bethe envy of any major corporate board ofdirectors. The Foundation is the keystoneto the future of Pi Kappa Phi and it is im-perative that we recognize this. The onlyhope for a strong fraternity in perpetuity isthe establishment of an endowment largeenough to provide consistent income. PiKapp College is perhaps the best singlething that we do. It is the premier leader-ship school in the fraternity world! Thecosts of staging Pi Kapp College have risenastronomically over recent years. The foun-dation subsidizes Pi Kapp College but can-not afford to underwrite it fully.
The Trustees have committed them-selves to raising substantial funds over thenext two years to increase their corpus. Weas individuals have to commit to makingcontributions to the Foundation. Can younot afford a tax deductible gift of $25?$50? $100? $1000? Have you named theFoundation in your will? Insurance policy?Annuity? We must remove the burdenfrom the backs of our students.
Many chapters publish alumni news-letters under the auspices of C.A.R. (Con-tinuing Alumni Relations). These newslet-ters are a service to alumni and your contri-butions to your chapter newsletter go di-rectly to your local alumni organization.What a small price to pay for the benefitreceived. Any greater gift would bringsmiles to the faces of your local alumniofficers.
• . In a committee meeting, with Nu Phimedallion, making a point.
GUIDANCE
Your experience and skills are sorelyneeded by the students. We are desperatefor increased alumni involvement. Whetheryou offer your time as a Chapter Advisoror in a more limited role the impact on thechapter is significant. You can offer somuch and take pleasure in knowing thatyou are helping shape the future of thiscountry's leadership. A few hours a yearfrom a large number of alumni is meaning-ful and also shows our student brothersthat we care.

ALUMNI PROGRAMMING
One of our weakest areas is in alumniprogramming. The National Council andthe Administrative Office staff have re-solved to work diligently in this area. Theprimary responsibility, however, is yours.Local alumni associations should be aliveand vibrant. It doesn't take much work ortime involvement to have a successful ve-hicle through which we can sustain our fra-ternal experience. The simplest events arethe best ones. What is truly important isthe assembly of Pi Kappa Phi alumni forthe purpose of enjoying each others' com-pany and supporting the activities of thefraternity. Where there are no alumni asso-ciations you need to form them. Where wealready have associations you need to par-ticipate in them to insure their success. TheAdministrative Office staff is anxious to as-sist in any way.
RITUAL
The heart and soul of Pi Kappa Phi isour ritual of initiation, unchanged in its ba-sic precepts since its inception. We arecharged with certain responsibilities. Havewe really upheld our share of the burden?If you have not witnessed a ritual recentlyyou should do so this year. The chapterswould be glad to have you there and mayeven ask you to participate if you desire.
The lessons of the ritual are as valid inlater life as they are to a typical eighteenyear old college freshman. A renewed vowto Pi Kappa Phi is a renewed vow to suc-ceed in your personal life as well. The in-spiration of the ceremony is moving. Yourpresence at this important occasion alsolends credence to the belief that our entireorder is centered around the ritual. Youcannot leave anything more valuable to thefraternity than this lesson which will bepassed to generations of brothers whofollow.
PROJECF P.U.S.H.
Service to mankind. Those three wordsare enough to justify our existence. Withour unique national philanthropy we havemanaged to pioneer areas never before tra-velled. Our student chapters have supportedP.U.S.H. with ever increasing enthusiasmand money. P.U.S.H. units have receivednational acclaim for their application in theenhancement of the lives of the severelyhandicapped. There are many children whoare experiencing sensations never beforefelt because thousands of Pi Kapps cared.
Our chapters are drawn together in fra-ternal bonds because they work and playtogether to raise funds and promoteP.U.S.H. It is our individual responsibilityto support P.U.S.H. in every way possible.It is my belief that P.U.S.H. will shove PiKappa Phi over the threshhold of greatness.
CALL TO ACI1ON
The Supreme Chapter in Mobile passedsixty-two resolutions calling for specific ac-tions. This is a record amount of legislation.The nature of this legislation demonstrates
the seriousness with which our Brother-hood treats our future. This legislative as-sembly (primarily students) set uncom-promising standards for us to follow. Theyare demanding a commitment to excellence.
There is some way that you can con-tribute. Time, money, advice, presence, ex-perience...the list goes on. You are beingchallenged to give something to Pi KappaPhi. It won't be enough to do so quietly. Itwill be necessary for you to encourageother brothers to join you. Only then canwe climb to the pinnacle of excellence.Only then is our future assured.
Founder L. Harry Is,lixson once said,"...the future we leave with you." The fu-ture is now. The decision is yours. ism,

Mister Everything, Mr. Pi Kappa PhiTHEODORE A. SCHARFENSTEIN
MR. PI KAPPA PHI 1983
DURWARD, HOW DID THEVOLUNTARY DUESPROGRAM BEGIN?
Early in 1961 Ted Scharfenstein and Ihad a retreat attended just by the two ofus. We evaluated the future of a 42 chap-ter fraternity with minimal income andeven less cash assets. Realizing that mem-bership in the long run constitutes a frater-nity, the first priority had to be expansion,both internally and externally. In orderto accomplish that, a second priority wasgiven to money, and particularly fundrais-ing. The second being necessary in orderto accomplish the first.
Previous to 1961, except for one or twoisolated efforts in the '20s and '30s, alum-ni, once initiated as undergraduates, werenever asked to contribute financially tothe ongoing of the fraternity. I ask thequestion "Why not?". In fact, there was aletter on file in which a former ExecutiveDirector had indicated that the concept ofvoluntary dues for the alumni of the fra-ternity would not work due to the initialpromise of lifetime membership; and evenif it did it would take many years beforethe cost of such a project would be re-couped from the income it would provide.
I thought that nothing ventured wouldbe nothing gained. Certainly financial par-ticipation on the part of alumni was a sig-nificant gain if it could be obtained. TheNational Council gave me the permissionto spend $400 from our meager budget for
such an effort. I chose the alumni of Xi,Roanoke; Chi, Stetson; Alpha Xi, Brook-lyn; and Alpha Zeta, Oregon State, as thepopulation for the experiment. At thattime I had little knowledge of fundraising,especially the technical aspect of same. Iread all I could in a hurry, but the best Icould come up with was a mimeographedletter, with not much polish as far as con-tent. Miracles do happen for that meagereffort resulted in $2,250 being received.
With this success in hand we made an.other experimental effort the next year,this time a mailing to the entire member-ship of the Fraternity. Again, lacking ex-pertise we had a minimal effective mailing;however, it did bring in $6,518 at a costof $1,250.
We must have been doing somethingright. Then, taking advice and counselfrom John Wilson, Eta, of the AmericanRed Cross and later Richard Viguerie, BetaMu, a political fundraiser, we developed asemi-obligatory program, enticing repiti-tion of giving. This has developed a givingpopulation within the alumni of Pi KappaPhi.
At this time we raise in excess of$80,000 each year and the operation ofthe Fraternity could not do without thisfunding. I am pleased that I decided to askthe question "Why not?".
I was always one to trysomething new. So whynot travel 1,000 miles towork for a Fraternity?"Work for a Fraternity,"my Dad screamed. "Ithought you would out-grow that kind of thingwhen you graduated."
As Secretary to theFoundation and successorto Mike O'Donnell, I beganhere in Charlotte in a chal-lenging position. Not beinga Pi Kapp, naturally, I Leah Hataway 1983 graduate of the University of Missouristarted from scratch, learning who Harry Mixson, Andrew Kroeg, and Durward Owen were(I guess I forgot Simon in there). I quickly discovered that the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity wasindeed a distinguished Fraternity and a great source of pride for all its Brothers.
But the Foundation has yet felt that distinction, has not yet grown to the point whereeach associate member is truly knowledgeable about its mission and programs. In the pasttwo years, the Foundation has been reborn from an unspoken, virtually inactive entity in-to a recognizable, increasingly important aspect of Pi Kappa Phi. It is my goal that theFoundation continues its independence streak — building its endowment to provide theeducational services that are so beneficial and vital during the undergraduate years.
I'll never forget my undergraduate experience with the Pi Kapps — collecting moneyfor P.U.S.H., the Little Sister car washes, the chapter meetings (Yes, I attended a few wheninvited), and the heart-to-heart talks with my Little Brother and other Brothers.
I recently graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Missouri,bound and determined to replace Barbara Walters as the queen of TV news. But a big heartled me to follow my Pi Kapp Sweetheart to the Carolinas. And a Mizzou Brother, JayStuckel, Chapter Consultant, led me to the Administrative Office.
WHEREAS Ted Scharfenstein was initiated into the Beta Beta Chap-ter at Florida Southern College on April 20, 1958, thushaving been a Pi Kappa Phi for over 25 years, and
WHEREAS He diligently served his chapter as Warden, Treasurer andArchon, and
WHEREAS Upon graduation he served the Administrative Office as aChapter Consultant and Assistant Executive Director forfive years, and
WHEREAS He has admirably served Pi Kappa Phi in a variety of ways,including Chapter Advisor, Colony Advisor, Area Gover-nor, President of his chapter alumni association, NationalVice President, National President, representative to theNational Interfraternity Council and currently as a trus-tee of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, and
WHEREAS His devotion to Pi Kappa Phi is visible through his presenceat many fraternity events, including: an instructor at sevenPi Kapp Colleges, keynote speaker at Founders Day cele-brations and participation in chartering fifteen new chap-ters.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Theodore A. Scharfenstein beextended the Fraternity's highest honor in deep apprecia-tion for his past, present, and future involvement anddedication, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the National Council of Pi Kappa Phidoes hereby declare Theodore A. Scharfenstein is offi-cially designated as Mr. Pi Kappa Phi for 1983.
The Hall of FameTwo accomplished alumni have joined

IIIt has got to make you feel good"
Bob Inman checks his watch while writing a story. He can't be late before the cameras!
"Camera one", exclaims the director,"we'll be going from camera one!" As thestudio lights dim they exchange their il-lumination with the sun-bright spotlights."Fifteen seconds", says the director as hepoints to camera one.
The red light flashes its warning. Thedirector jerks his hand forward like a slingshot from camera one to the newscastersitting intently behind the desk. As cam-era one slowly moves in, every Pi Kappwatching shares a secret smile becausethis anchorman is wearing, with pride, hisPi Kapp tie.
This man in front of the camera andbehind the tie, is not only the anchormanfor Charlotte WBTV news, is not only abrother, is not only the voice behind the"This is Pi Kappa Phi" and "P.U.S.H."slide shows, he is Bob Inman, NationalChairman of Project P.U.S.H.
Bob sums up his involvement in Pro-ject P.U.S.H. in an important way. "Fromall we know, the units do change lives,"he says. "The kids get on a unit and reactin so many ways, all of them positive."
If the nightly news were to becomethe Bob Inman show, the camera's red
light would indicate "live" in the dark,musty, and loudly clanging printing roomof the hometown newspaper in Elba, Ala.Bob, with ink under his fingernails andevery place else, would be setting type, asa printer's devil, and running that day'sedition of the Elba Clipper on an ancientand clattering linotype that survived thegreat Elba flood in 1929. Bob is a youngand energetic seventh grader.
Camera two would show Bob Inman inhigh school, still working for the ElbaClipper. School activities and sports arehis reporting interests. Yet, he is also acorrespondent reporter for the Montgom-ery Daily covering stories from his littlehometown.
The turning point came in tenth grade,when the first radio station was built inElba.
The camera would now glide to scenesof Bob at the University of Alabama, amajor in radio and television. As the el-dest of four kids, Bob had to work duringschool. Having a background in communi-cations, he worked 6:00 p.m. till mid-night at the local radio stations.
"I never had a choice about being a Pi
Kapp," Bob says. Elba was a strongholdfor the Fraternity. The student bodypresident from Alabama was a Pi Kappand rushed Bob heavily. "I pledged at asummer rush party having never looked atanother fraternity."
Bob's fraternity experience, he felt,was as rich as anybody else's. He playedextremely hard on the weekends. He didfind enough time to serve as Chaplain andseveral terms as Pledge Warden.
After graduation, he found himself atthe Alabama state capitol covering GeorgeWallace and the Civil Rights movement.The time; the militant 1965.
Bob says, "it was a time when youlearned journalism on the front line.Newsmen were often caught in the crossfire. I was chased out of town a few times,sometimes by both sides."
The 1968 camera has Albert Brewer asthe Governor of Alabama, and Bob Inmanas his press secretary. "I was 23, wet be-hind the ears, and the youngest press sec-retary in the nation."
Bob lost the prestigious Press Secre-tary's job when 1970 brought GeorgeWallace back to the Governor's Mansion.Bob moved on to Charlotte, N.C. andcloser to Pi Kappa Phi.
After a commercial break and a tripback to graduate school Phil Tappy, chair-man of project P.U.S.H., asked Bob to be-come a member of the P.U.S.H. board in1979."The fraternity sparked my interest in
groups gathering in communities andneighborhoods," says Bob. "It is very im-portant that the association one belongsto does something meaningful."
It was this interest and belief thatmoved Bob to join the P.U.S.H. boardand in 1981 to become the new chairman.
Bob's emphasis in P.U.S.H. has alwaysbeen the same, "I'm very big on the chap-ter's work, period". He explains that ourcommunity can do things to help othersand it is important that each individualmember have the experience of doingsomething outside the chapter. If a mem-ber does not receive the lesson of giving,then his fraternity experience has beenshort-changed. "The very soul of this pro-ject is how the chapters raise their money."Bob has seen the project through verypivotal times. In his almost two years asChairman he has seen a doubling of dona-tions from $35,000 to over $80,000, theplacement of many units in new geographi-cal areas, the first Foundation and bequestgifts, and the decision to hire a full timeadministrator for Project P.U.S.H.
The project has come a long way, Bobexplains. It started by only needing an ad-ministrator a small part of the time. Itgrew rapidly to occupy half the time andnow to a full-time position. "I came onwhen the project was really in its infancy"

SENATOR GLEN F. McCONNELL
The new Pi Kappa Phi Ritual is due tothe efforts and energy of the members ofthe interim Bell Committee and the Ritu-al and Insignia Committee, which waschaired by Sen. Glen F. McConnell.
Glen F. McConnell, Alpha, is a 1969graduate of the College of Charleston anda 1972 graduate of the U. S. C. School ofLaw.
As an undergrad, Glen served Alpha injust about every position including His-torian, Treasurer, Secretary and Archon.Glen has continued his Pi Kapp dedica-tion by serving as Chapter Advisor, Hous-ing Corporation President, Area Council-lor, Area Governor, and receiving the out-standing Alumni Award along with theNational Award of Area Governor of theYear.

he begins, "and now the baby has notonly outgrown the crib but we need de-signer Tom Sayre to design a double bed!"
"Where will Project P.U.S.H. go?" saysBob. "It will go anywhere the chapterswant it to," and then adding quickly, "andanywhere the imagination of Tom Sayresees it going."
Bob feels strongly about the place-ment of P.U.S.H. units and sees the needto expand across the country. Each indi-vidual student needs to identify with theunits. "The placement of units in thenortheast and Idaho was an important stepand we would like to get one as soon aswe can in California." He added withchagrin, "We have got to put one in Flor-ida! Wherever we put one the chapters inthose areas flower, but Florida floweredbefore a unit was placed and we need toreward them."
When a new administrator is chosen,Bob feels its time to step down as chair-man. New blood, ideas, and experience isneeded. His hope is to stay active on theboard but to stretch out to other areas ofthe Fraternity.
The P.U.S.H. board is convinced thatthere is enough money for the administra-tor to pay for himself in two years. "It isimportant that the chapters understandthe money they raise will always be ear-marked for the deploying of the P.U.S.H.units."
"All we need is a research grant fromthe Ford Foundation, or the governmentand we are on our way." Bob feels thatP.U.S.H. has the potential for a greater in-volvement in many different aspects ofhuman behavior. When and if Bob Inmanresigns from the chairmanship of P.U.S.H.,the camera will pull slowly back and al-low Bob to spend more time with theother things he loves.
He still works strange hours. From3:00 p.m. to midnight he runs to eachstaff member to make sure that each seg-ment of his show is ready. But Bob lovesto run around his home, too. In his sparetime he runs 20-25 miles three days aweek and jealously guards his weekendsto spend with his wife and two daughters.
The voice in front of camera one hasbeen read in the Elba Clipper, heard onthe Pi Kappa Phi slide shows, and lis-tened to on the nightly news. But BobInman's voice, ideas, and energy havetouched the lives of many Pi Kapps andP.U.S.H. children.
"It's got to feel good. To stand on astreet corner or push a wheelchair forfifty hours, or whatever they do; and seethe money they raised translate into thechanging of lives.
The quality of their lives is improved.In God's sight they are just as important.To them, turning on a light, is just as mucha creative and rewarding act as the novelI'm attempting to write.
We are changing lives, we know itworks, and it has got to make you feelgood." 6v

Actions you should knowALL PI KAPPS SHOULD BE AWARE... of some rather significant direc-tions given the leadership of the Fraternity by the 39th Supreme Chapter.Just a few of the many actions taken are reflected in the following:
ALCOHOL POSITION
The National Council of Pi Kappa Phi understands the impact of alcohol abuse, andthe legal implications of this problem.Pi Kappa Phi classifies alcohol as a mind-altering substance which can result in damag-ing behaviors similar to those caused by illegal drugs.Pi Kappa Phi defines abuse of alcohol as the type of overuse which causes irresponsiblebehavior, a dangerous loss of reaction time, sickness, and damage to personal relation-ships. This abuse may be a solitary incident or a chronic behavior pattern.Pi Kappa Phi views alcohol abuse as a serious social/personal problem in America, withimpacts on personal health, career development, academic achievement, friendships,and family relationships.Pi Kappa Phi believes that alcohol abuse prevents individual members from realizingtheir fullest potential for exhibiting leadership ability and from exemplifying the char-acteristics of brotherhood. Alcohol abuse also lowers chapter morale and produces anegative image of our fraternity to other campus organizations, the local community,and potential future brothers. Alcohol abuse inhibits a chapter from growing into ahealthy fraternal organization.
THEREFORE
Pi Kappa Phi is firmly committed to membership behaviors which are not under the in-fluence of alcohol abuse.Pi Kappa Phi will make alcohol abuse education a part of the training of all members.Pi Kappa Phi will adopt a national policy which details the guidelines for responsiblereaction and proaction to the potential problem of alcohol abuse among its members.Pi Kappa Phi continues its policy of promoting positive chapter behaviors through edu-cation, consulting/monitoring assistance to chapters, maintaining chapter standards,and requiring that all chapters adhere to all the school regulations and applicable laws.Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity opposes alcohol use at functions which are broadlyadvertised to the public outside the Fraternity and its potential members.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is committed to excellence on both the chapter and na-tional levels.The reputation of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity depends primarily upon the quality ofits constituent chapters.It is recognized that certain minimum chapter standards must be met by all chaptersfor the good of the order.The 38th Supreme Chapter held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, strengthened thesestandards as outlined in Law VI, Section 24, of the Supreme Laws.The responsibility of enforcement of these standards has been entrusted to the Na-tional Council of the fraternity.The average chapter size of 36 members is significantly lower than the other major fra-ternities.Thirty-one of our ninety-seven chapters have membership below 26, sixteen of whichhave membership below 19.The National Council has been too lenient in enforcing the minimum chapter stan-dards as provided in the Supreme Laws of the Fraternity.
THEREFORE
The 39th Supreme Chapter respectfully directs the incoming National Council to faith-fully enforce compliance with the minimum chapter standards as outlined in Law VI,Section 24, of the Supreme Laws of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.
ALTERNATE FOUNDERS DAY
In view of the earlier (November 19, 1904) meeting of the Nu Phi group of students atthe College of Charleston, from which the original members of Pi Kappa Phi came;And recognizing that Pi Kappa Phi was founded on December 10, 1904,And recognizing the changing school environment does have most chapters either outof school or taking exams on or about December 10,
THEREFORE
Be it resolved that: November 19, be the alternate Founder's Day for Pi Kappa Phi,and that each chapter celebrate Founder's Day on or about Dec. 10, or Nov. 19. 6E,
