2 . STAR AND LAM OF

PIPELINES PIPE DREAMS The following story of how Lt. Col. Arthur Duncan Small, Chi, solved the

problem of gasoline transportation to the battle fronts appeared in the Nov. 13, 1944 issue of NEWSWEEK.

'·

f.

l ~here was no usable equipment or ~amed personnel. A few tentative n ans were on paper, but there was n ~ precedent for them. In July 1942, dlihtary oil pipelines were still a pipe f rearn, and many technical officers arowned on the whole idea. Bombing l'nd strafing, they said, would wreck ~nes as fast as they were built. Sabo-

ge -:vould make them impracticable. a Edison Berlin , an oilman serving d?d consultant to Army engineers, p1 n't agree with the skeptical ex-S erts. He summoned a young Wotsl!lan, Arthur Duncan Small, to fie~shmgton from the Oklahoma oil

1 ds and placed the whole prob­ern before him.

8. Aug. 5, 1942, Small was commis­

i toned a major of engineers. The l~b he did is today paying dividends in o~r. troops on the German front d

1.mtlhons of gallons of gasoline-

e 1Vered. St When Small started , the United th ates had been at war eight months, an~ A~ric~n landings were planned, l Pipehnes would be a boon to eough desert supply problems. Bttt hv~ry piece of military equipment iza d to be numbered and standard­ore · .Small was faced with the job Wh'destgning and building pipelines bu~ch not only might serve in Algeria Ia ~auld be practicable two years

0 t~: 111 theaters all around the world. y r 111arily it would have taken a rnear to so standardize special equip­ofent. But into Africa on the heels

1 2gur November 1942 landings went

'1' 0 miles of portable pipelines. fr lze Small Way: Today every

ont receives 90 per cent of the ~fSol!ne it uses through 4- and 6-inch t Pel.mes running from seacoast ports ho fighting lines. Enemy damage n!s been negligible. A loss of 15 h r cent was expected. Actual loss as b~en less than 1 per cent.

S While standardizing equipment, frrna]] had the Army combed for men

__./ orn oil-producing states. A training

AM OF PI KAPPA PHI

center was established at Camp Clai­borne, La., where model pipelines were set up. There thousands of ex-oil-field workers quickly learned to handle each piece of equipment, to build, repair, and operate actual lines.

Low priorities--the only kind Small could secure-were a major hurdle. He hammered on producers' doors until he got mass production started. Despite the speed of the job, innovations which have stood the strain were produced.

An ingenious portability was achieved. One mile of the light­weight line, including pumping sta­tions, weighs only 18 tons; 20-foot sections of pipe weigh less than 100 pounds. Flexible joints permit lines to cross the roughest terrain. When Small took over, the Army had no petroleum-equipment testing labora­tories. These were built. There was no suitable rolling stock. Special trucks were designed and built at Camp Claiborne.

When Small was a lad in Glasgow, where he was born Jan. 1, 1904, he dreamed of becoming a marine engi­neer. But after the last war his father, a construction engineer, moved the family to this country, settling in Tu1sa. Young Small studied petroleum engineering at the University of Tulsa, then went to work in the oil fields. His carrer in pipelines began in 1924 and until 1929 he designed and built them for several large companies.

Next he spent six years in the Ma­lay States jungles as chief produc­tion engineer for the Nederlandsche Koloniale and Standard Oil. Return­ing home, Small opened his own of­fice in Oklahoma City. Chairman of the engineering committee of the big Wilcox Pool Association, he was engaged in an exhaustive study of the Oklahoma field for 40 companies when this war began .

Handsome, with dark hair, quiet

gray eyes, and a moustache, Small has been able to elude marriage all around the globe. His Southwestern years have added a slight drawl to his Scotch brogue. He cusses com­petently in Malay, which he speaks proficiently.

Small was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in February 1944. Several weeks ago he went to Europe to see his pipelines in opera­tion. Up to that time he had re­fused all publicity about himself, often chasing public-relations officers out of his office. When he saw the

Jormandy pipelines handling as many as 1,500,000 gallons of gaso­line a day, he popped his buttons with pride. "Bring on the reporters," he crowed. "Now we've got some­thing to talk about."

DEATHS REPORTED Central Office has received word

While there he organized a bomber squadron of twelve Flying Fortresses and re­turned with the squadron to the Eu­ropean theatre in February. In Oc-

tober 1942 he was cited for bravery when as a flight leader he led his ships in a daylight attack on the submarine pens at Lorient. With­out fighter escort and through heavy flak, the citation read, he led his flight through hazardous weather and under heavy enemy attack to the obj~ctive and successfully bombed the target, inflicting heavy damage. After operating for some months from bases in England, Major Burges was transferred to the African theat­er during the American campaign there. As a student at the College of Charleston, Major Burges was an outstanding baseball player. He also was a swimmer of rugged ability and participated in the five-mile mara­thon meets there.

JALLITS Dl ES Edwin William Jallits, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Frank Jallits of Chicago, former secretary of· Alpha Phi, died on October 21. His death was caused by heart trouble which forced him to drop out of school at the be­ginning of his last semester at Illi­nois Institute of Technology. He would have graduated with his B.S. in Electrical Engineering on October 25.

Loved and revered by all his brothers in Alpha Phi, he was a loyal Pi Kapp and supporter of chapter functions a11d athletic competition. Although his illness kept him from &ctive participation in the latter he was always out there rooting for the team. He is definitely missed by those of us who knew him well and we join in sympathy with his family and other friends in mourning his loss. This, we feel, is a fitting and honest tribute to an all-around good fellow, well d serving of a good name.

Delta Furman Delta's recent elections brought the following men into

office: Jasper Waites, archon; Furman Massingale, treasurer; Gene Latham, secretary; Rudolph W. Graham, historian; Sidney Burts, warden; and 0. Z. White, chaplain.

We have really been active this year. Our Rush Week was in October and featured bowling parties, movie parties, a banquet, dance, and picnic. We pledged eleven, a couple of whom have already become brothers. Our present pledges are: August Schweirs, Harry Davenport, Lee Rowland, Franklin Breazeale, and Carl McMahan (now AUS), all of Greenville; also Edward Cody from Texas; Wesley Barry, New York, and John Bailey, Georgia . Since Rush Week, Jack Surrat has been added to the roll.

Among our social events have been a brothers' supper following the first initiation, a picnic given by the pledges for the brothers and their dates, and two house parties.

The big event this year was our Rose Ball, held on Decem­ber 11 as close as possible to Founders' Day. Miss Cody, aunt of ou; pledge president, "Tex" Cody, entertained at a tea Friday afternoon. That evening, the members of the fra­ternity and their dates dined at a downtown hotel. The dance was the best of its kind given in Greenville this season. An intermission was given at the home of one of the pledges, to the great joy of all. Saturday morning, all who could set sail for the mountains to wind up a perfect week end with a delightful house party.

Epsilon Davidson Epsi lon's recently elected officers arc: Phil Whittier, ar­

chon; Carver Wood, treasurer; Warren Higginbotham, sec­retary; Cameron Nuttall, historia!l; ~ewlin Schenck, warden; James Boyce, chaplain; Pete Smclatr, sports manager. and pledge master; Mel Winstead, board manager; Thad Barrmger, president of pledge class and Robert Duncan, secretary and treasurer.

We got off to a very good start this fall. The unexpected return of several experienced brothers, Bruce Fisher, Pete Sinclair, and Bob Huntley, topped off a successful rush week to give us a total of ten brothers and seven pledges. The pledges arc: Richard Frey, Shelby, N. C., Don Whittem?rc and Douglas McNair, Rockingham, N. C., Chris Weber, Wm­ston-Salem; Robert Duncan, Joliet, Ill.; Thad Barringer and Don Tyler, Florence, S. C.

A Founders' Day banquet with dance was given at the Charlotte Country Club on December 9. Thad Barringer acted as toast master and the pledges entertained with after­ditincr speeches and jokes. A Christmas party was given on December 14. Our faculty brothers were invited and attended both affairs.

Most of the Epsilon brothers and pledges will be back next semester and plans for another rush week arc already under way, so we expect the chapter to ke~p on getting better and better until it reaches and svrpasses tts pre-war strength .

CAMERON NUTTALT, , Historian.

Mu Duke It has been said "we shall be judged, not by what we might

have been but what we have been and shall continue to be." There in ~ nut-shell is Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Begin­ning its thirtieth year on the Methodist Flats, Mu has, at last, attained the goal it has been searching for since its origin. Eighteen new pledges and thirty members and old pledges have supplied that added force which has been lacking in push-

22

ing Mu to the top of the fraternity list at Duke. With Don Buckley carrying the ball and all brothers aiding in bowling over the obstacles, Mu has crossed the last chalk stripe and is now flying high. Settled once again after another "semes­ter's jumbling," Mu has started on its social way. A banquet, dance, two cabin parties, and several rush parties have made the past week ends worth living, especially after so man)' dull ones the past summer.

With winter upon us, but lacking snow for snowballs, M~ is not being outdone by so minor a loss. Instead the air 15

full of basketballs, and brothers Bob Roellkc and Ted Viil­anueva arc getting their share of baskets on the Duke "hard­wood." Both Bob and Ted llave been putting a polish on Duke's varsity quintet and are certain to aid the "Blue Devil" cause this coming season. Mu also has a firm bold on the mana~-:erships of the Devil five in Brothers Warren PopC and Tom Boone. Looks as though Pi Kapps have taken over.

On December 14 and 15 Don Buckley's musical extrava· ganza, "Too Many Goodbys," had top billing on the "must see list" of campus events. Written and produced by Don, "Too Many Goodbys" starred Brother "Teeny" Roberts and also established Brother Bob Brengle as one of Duke's great· est student directors.

We of Mu have been happily honored with recent visits b)' Brothers Bill Blanchard, Nelson Stephens, Fred Frostick, Owen Johnson, Art Leonard, Barney Wansker and Dick Mansu.r. Then too, the "old faithful" Bill Brinkley is again back tn our fold, having secured a position in the administration of­fice of the University. We of Mu arc also happy to welcorne back Brother Ken Starr, who has been discharged froJll the avy, and his charming wife, Betty Jane. Ken is work· ing in Durham, and Betty Jane is serving as an assistant librarian here on the campus.

At the beginning of the fall semester Xi chapter was much stronger than a year ago and it is still reigning as the largest and most active fraternity on the Roanoke College campus. B. K. Thomas, Jr., pledged last year was initiated in October, bringing our number to eight brothers.

Since the closing of the fraternity house for the durationd, we have a suite of three rooms in Yonce Hall for a lounge an for meetings.

Rushing this fall was delayed until the week of Novemb1;r 13 to 18. On Monday night, November 13, we gave a senn­formal dance at the Roanoke County Woman's Clubhouse. At this time Miss Virginia Lee Lambert, of Salem, was pre­sented as sweetheart of Xi chapter for the current year. She was presented with an arm bouquet of red roses while the brothers sang "The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi." Bill Rutrough, archon, made the presentation. Miss Lambert is president of the student body, is in "Who's Who in American Col­leges and Universities," and is former president of the Sigma Kappa Phi sorority and the Sigma Delta Pi. Then on FridaY afternoon, November 17, a stag smoker and supper w~s given at Hotel Patrick Henry in Roanoke. The Pan-HelleniC counril of the college allowed only two parties for each grouP on the campus during rush week.

On Monday, November 20, the following were pledged into the fraternity: James Heizer, Nicholas Jacobs, Robert Kasey,

Alpha Epsilon Florida Alpha Epsilon's present organization is as follows: Archon

and House Manager, Carl H. Stafford; secretary, Sidney E. Lee; treasurer, ] era Mortellaro; warden, Eli Walker, and historian, Robert Wheeler. Carl Stafford is a war veteran, having served in the Naval Air Corps. He formerly attended Stetson, where he was a member of · Chi Chapter.

Six actives were on hand to open the house for the first semester starting in September. This was the largest group of actives that we had been able to assemble for some time. The rushing program got off to a good start, and we soon had six pledges. Later in the semester three more pledges were secured. Things looked very bright, but we have suffered some serious set-backs. Our Archon, Charles Hunt, has left school on the advice of his physician. Uncle Sam has put three of our pledges in uniform, and one found it necessary to leave school. We now have only two pledges, Norman Hasty of Sanford and Harry Jennings of Fort Pierce.

Homecoming was celebrated rather quietly by the Uni­versity this year on October 27 and 28. The Fighting Gators showed the Maryland Tcrps a few thinp;s about football. Between halves Governor Spessard L. Holland delivered an address in which he paid tribute to the men and women of Florida servinp; their country during the present war. Fol­lo\ving the football game, the . chapter held a banquet at the Thomas Hotel. Bob Tylandcr, now a practicing attorney in Tallahassee, did an excellent job as toastmaster. He was accompanied by his charming wife. Mother Rood and Mrs. George Rood of New Smyrna were on hand, and both of them gave very interesting short talks. George has seen plenty of action in the Pacific as a Lieutenant in the Navy.

The Phi Mu Sorority at Florid:t State College for Women invited us to attend an informal dance at the sorority house on ovcmbcr 18. Five actives and two pledges attended and had a very pleasant time.

Severa l brothers have called during the past few months. Included in the list are Sergeant Joseph Roberts (a charter member), Judge Sid Herlong, Captain Jim Wilson, (just back from New Guinea), John C. Miller, John Palmer, Tye Youngblood, Bud Monk, Lee Monk, Bill Stevens, Cooper Mathews, and John Pottenger (Alpha Phi).

W. D. Flowers is at Tyndall Field. near Panama City, Florida. Jim Kuppers is somewhere in the Mediterranean area, and Idus Wicker is in Italy . Morris Goodwin was wounded in France, but is now back on active duty.

Alpha Iota Alabama Polytechnic Alpha Iota is still holding her own on the Auburn campus

1\'ith an additional member added to the original two. He IS

Billy Ray Russel, recently discharged from the Navy, and we certainly arc glad to have him back with us. Our only pledge, Grover Whitley of LaGrange, Georgia, became a member on December 13. The initi:ttion was held in the chapter room of the house, and alumni assisted the members with the ceremony.

Alpha lotans will be glad to learn that a ll debts of the chapter arc paid in full except the house debt, and the semi­annual payments on it have been met on time. The insur­ance on the house and furniture has been increased and all policies arc with the same company and the premiums have been paid. These payments leave no surplus money so our chapter activities arc done on our own hook, so to speak.

Our house is still in excellent condition , and the girls living in it recently invited us to eat dinner with them to show us and tell us how much they were cnjoyinr, living there. The

23

former Theta Chi housemother, Mrs. Greggory, is their chaperon, and she has been nice to us. Any Pi Kapp has a standing invitation to go by the house and use anything on the first floor.

We are now living in the Kappa Alpha house with the KAs and the Theta Chis.· We are enjoying it and there is no discord and never a dull moment. If any brother passes through, please stop by and see us.

One request we would like to ask of the alumni; send us the names of anyone coming to Auburn that you consider good Pi Kapp material that we may rush them. Just his name will be sufficient-it will help us immeasureably.

Carl Pihl has been promoted from chaptain to major, as announced by General Hugh J. Kerr, commanding general of U. S. Strategic Air Forces in Europe. He was captain of the Auburn track team in 1935, and was S.E.C. and A.A.U. mile champion in 1934. Before entering the army he was editor of the Copper and Brass, New York.

This concludes the news from Alpha Iota for this issue. News of, or from, any member of this chapter sent to us will be greatly appreciated.

Alpha Mu Penn State Since re-opening the house last May, we have grown in num­

bers. We are pleased to report that we have six brothers; Charles Alcorn, archon; Francis Warner, treasurer; Charles E. Hurd, secretary ; Peter B. Sheridan, Jr., historian ; John P. McCarthy, warden; and Gerald Eberly, chaplain.

Our pledges number sixteen. They are Richard Guhl, Ray Strohm, Paul Mellott, E. J . Hathaway, Charles Brown, George Merrell, Don Heiny, John Borne, Bert Raymond, John Bohm, Robert Gabriel, John McHaffie, Robert Miles, John Brooke, Edmund Yeager, Jack Tuttle, and Stan Bern­heim, a pledge transfer from Delta chapter at Furman.

Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, who helped us open our house, are living with us until their house is vacated by the A.S.T.P.

We are looking forward to the return of servicemen after the war and are formulating plans to give them the kind of good fraternity life they want. . .

The alumni letter sent out by Jesse Doolittle, our adv1sor, has been well received and we have beard from many alumni, both in and out of service.

We have held a number of small parties and our home­coming and Christmas displays attracted widespread attention.

We combined our formal pledging and our observance of Founder's Day into one afternoon meeting on December 10.

Alpha Omicron Iowa State Finding. ourselves with only two active members left on

the campus, we decided, with the backing of our War Coun­cil to open as a rooming bouse with eight men. Shortly th~reafter we pledged eleven men who are now living with us. Starting with the winter quarter, we will have only members and pledges of Pi Kappa Phi living with us. We have been helped by an alumnus, William Slaichert, who has acted as a house father.

The other active, Kent Hawkins, is now acting as archon and treasurer and Robert Spearing is secretary. Other offices such as social. athletic, music directors, and chaplain are being taken over by outstanding pledges who arc doing a very good job.

Perhaps by spring we may be able to eat again in our chapter house. Everyone here seems very much in favor of it, but at present we have neither time, money, nor enough men to justify it.

We initiated George Dubes in December, bringin~ our total actives to three men . George acted as president of the pledge class since we opened the house on September 25.

Alpha Sigma Tennessee Alpha Sigma's present officers arc: C. W. Martin, archon;

C. McMahan, treasurer; S. P. Vavalides, secretary; George Goodman, chaplain; and James Martin, historian.

Along with the general upward trend among our nation's colleges this year, Alpha Sigma is beginning to pass the war crisis. We realize our trials are far from being over but we have renewed confidence for the future. '

During the fall rush week we pledged twenty-eight fresh· men to go with our eight remaining actives. The new pledges hail from widely scattered areas and form a composite cross· section of the nation. Among them we have two ex-service· men who are wisely making use of the "G.I. Bill of Rights.'' As a result of our pledging success we are now in the "ToP Three" fraternities on the "Hill."

The annual intramural volley-ball tourney was held in th_e university gym, and we placed third in the final count. ThiS year saw our team in the new blue and yeiJow uniforms, purchased for athletic events on the "Hill."

Our new piano has been the center of attraction-(you might well call it the center of discord or distraction, after listening to some of the boys playing Boogie-Woogie, "Jn Ten Easy Lessons.")

The beauty of the house bas been enhanced by redecoratin~ the interior. All rooms on the first floor have been improved. \V e hope to paint the exterior this spring.

Orchids to pledge BiiJ Bookout upon his selection as Captain of the U. of T. band. This is the first time in the university's history that a freshman has been giv· en this great honor and responsibility. In addition ~o pledge Bookout, four other members of Alpha Sigma are 1n the band.

Archon Charlie Martin is the business manager of the Uni· versity weekly, the ORANGE AND WHITE, and served this year as Freshman Class Adviser. Pledge prexy, Victor Edg· man , has the thankless job of Circulation Manager.

We were well represented at the Rose Bowl this year b)' pledges Mike Padousis. Gene Huff, and John Chadnock mern· hers of Tennessee's Rose Bowl Volunteers.

Alpha Tau Rensselaer The Alpha Tau Chapter bas progressed a long way in the

past year; about this time a year ago, we, as an inactive chapter, were about to enter one of the darkest periods in our history. Our membership was at an all-time low, and the house was being used by Naval Pre-flight students. It was returned to us last July, and since that time we have been able to establish ourselves on a much firmer basis. The chapter now comprises fifteen men-four N.R.O.T.C.'s, si.lt V-12's, and five civilians. Since the date set by the Inter· fraternity Conference for the beginning of rushing which be· gan in November, we have been actively engaged in looking over prospective pledges. At this writing we have one pledge and have given bids to six others.

On Founders' Day a banquet was held at a nearby restaurant. It was attended by a large number of our alumni in the locality, besides all of the active chapter.

Since the last issue, two elections have been held. One in September, at which all of the incumbent officers were re· elected; and another on December 8, when a complete neW slate was named. This latter election was held in order to give the new officers a chance to become adjusted to their new responsibilities before our old officers left. The follow· ing men have been named to positions: Steve Maslen, ar· chon and junior representative to the Interfraternity Con· ference; Ben Cahill, treasurer; Myles Fairweather, secretary; Bob Newton, historian and senior representative to the In· terfraternity Conference; John Anderson, chaplain; and Jack Lott, warden. Deal! Daymon was ~iven the post of social chairman. Retiring Archon George Hoffer will handle rush· ing until he lcayes R .P.I. in February to be commissioned an ensign.

Ph t the present time we arc looking high and low for a

0 onograph for use at house dances. We have been without

the since June 1943, just prior to turning our house over to li h navy. We were the unfortunate victims of a clever day­s·g t ~obbery. We can't say the thieves got much of a radio,

01r~ It had imply been kept going by the electrical engineers

. e house, but it was certainly better than none at all. int~mce the beginning of the navy program at the Institute, bo~r~raternity sports have been dormant. Recently, however, lh vhng teams have been formed, and we are happy to say

at Alpha Tau's team is leading the league. v· ~e have been fortunate in having the following brothers p1~1 t the house in the past few months: Nels elson, George

nee, Joseph Soraghan, Ensign James Renson, Harry Peter­~~~·. Bruce Tiedeman, Lieutenant (jg) John Steuven (just re­B ~1Y Promoted from ensign), Robert Fuchs, Lieutenant Fred A 0 I and Scr11;cant Charles Mount. Bohl was married last

Ugust, and Mount was married in November. l'hl'he P~st-war status of the chapter is at this time in doubt. itiec Tn~lltute is preparing a plan, under which all the fratcrn­as s Will turn over their property to the !ichool, to be sold to so?n as possible. The money collected from these sales, up lh thirty. percent of the cost of a new house, will be kept. ~y fr e Ins!Itute as security in order to prevent the ~ratermt1es hom Withdrawing from such a plan after constructiOn of the

0 ouses. However, these houses will simply be rented, not

thvned, by the fraternities. These are all the facts we have on IVi~ matter at this lime, but by the next issue we hope we rc 1 know exactly where we stand. Part of the plan has been f ad by the dean of students at a meeting of the Inter­.;atcrnity Conference, and we will certainly hear more about ~h at. fu~ure meetings. We can say at this time, ~owever,

at It IS evident that the Institute plans to exercise more co~tro) over fraternities after the war. Right now, the active chapter is against such a plan as it now stands, as we :re the complete owners of our house. We are very anxious 0 hear from our alumni on the subject, and will welcome any

suRI1;estions or criticisms that they may have to offer . RonERT D. NEWTON, Historian.

Alpha Phi Illinois Tech ch Leading Alpha Phi at the present time are: Tom Ruck, ar­t on i Norb Polivka, treasurer; Warren Lenox, assistant Weasurer; Fred Olson, secretary; Ramon Olson, historian; Chalter Breisch, chaplain ; Richard Papps, warden; and Roy

ar Four other men have left in the past several weeks. They ore Doug Snyder, former archon, and George Schober, both tr . '~hom ~r::duated and are now in midshipmen's school l'•tlllng to become naval officers; Bill Pottenger, who is in the

avy radio school; and John Sachs, now of the infantry.

thtely picking up, this term's rushing activities approaching a e Pre-war spirit. We have ten pledges at the present. They Ce: Jerry Alger, Ed Arends, George Buettner, Len Donarski, p ' Howard Johnson, Hubert Korbus, Bill Ludwig, Bob

rasse, Henry Pype, and Dick Stark. • hAs usual the Pi Kapps at TIT are practically running the ;c Dol's extra-curricular activities. Tom Ruck, archon, was t~cent)y elected president of his class for the fourth consecu­Nve term and is president of the interfraternity council.

Ray Olson, co-edito·~ of Technology News, has been selected for membership in Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalism fraternity . Roy Churan and Don Al­berts arc holding down first string positions on our wresUing team, while AI Dimoff and Jack Capron compose part of the second string. Dick Papps is a first string boxer and Don Helbing has taken over the job of manager of the swimming team.

The basketball, tennis, golf, and ping pong trophies are in the possession of the Alpha Phi. In addition, we have our eyes on the scholarship cup which was lost last year . In the baseball and football competitions we took seconds, while in the interfraternity sing we drew a third place.

Even though our house has been taken over by the Navy, we have continued our social activities, averaging more than one large event each month. Recent affairs include a New Year's party held in the home of one of the actives, a very successfu l Founder's Day banquet, which lacked nothing ex­cept alumni who were apparently discouraged by the dis­agree"';1ble weather, a rushin~ party, a 'dinner-dance, a couple of beach parties and picnics during the summer, as well as other smaller dances and parties.

RAMON L. OLSON, llislorian .

Portland, Oregon Alumni C~apter On Saturday evening, December 9th, the Portland Alumni

Chapter held its annual Founders Day Banquet and business meeting at The Pagoda. There were twenty-three men in at­tendance, twenty-one of whom were from Alpha Zeta and two from Alpha Delta.

The order of our meeting covered primari:y reminiscing and con;ecturin11; as to the progress of the war and the reor­ganization of Alpha Zeta.

A report was given on our last two alumni meetings and the recent appointment of the writer as District Archon. We brought up the question of refinancing the out~tanding in­debtedness of Alpha Zeta and the group gave this particular thought serious discussion and arrived at several concrete recommendations which follow:

1. That the amount of the individual notes be reduced from $500 to $100.

2. That a maximum amount of $500 be limited to any one purchaser.

3. That a date of maturity, ten years from date of the is­suance, be included on such a note.

4. Whether they should be negotiable or non -ne11;otiable instruments.

25

5. That the refinancing should not over-subscribe the pres­ent indebtedness more than $1,500.

6. That when Alpha Zeta is reactivated, the monies col­lected for building fund purposes be taken out of the general fund (that money which is a t the disposal of the House Manager) and put into a special fund to be administered by the Alpha Zeta Association through its Board of Trustees.

We believe these six items cover essentially the main fea­tures of refinancing, and the Board of Trustees and War Ad­visory Council of Alpha Zeta will consider these points in the near future and at such a time as these points definitely have been decided upon, we plan to get out a special issue of SERVICE STARS informing all the men of our action.

The interest the Portland group is showing is quite grati­fying, especially since this interest is spread over a very good cross-section of our members.

The next meeting of the Portland group will be on Tuesday, February 13, 1945, and the group will meet therea fter on the second Tuesday of each even-numbered month . At the Feb­ruary meeting definite plans for the reorganization of Alpha Zeta will be made and appointment of certain standing com­mittees that will deal with the reorganization will also be made.

Alpha Eta At the beginning of the summer term in July 1944, Alph a

Eta was in a very embarrassing situation. There was only one active left after the Navy transferred all of the other members. In spite of this fact during the term we built up a little. At the beginning of the Fall term in November, Alpha Eta was in a little better situation. There were three actives left at this time.

At the present time the three members and the offices that they hold are: Robert Lauderda le, archon; Cecil Traywick , secretary and treasurer; and H oward Me Williams, historian ana chaplain . The present pledges number twelve. They

Mr. and Mrs. David Lamar Lee. Alpha, have announced the birth of a daughter, Elizabeth.

During the time that the Navy V -12 Unit has been at HoW· ard the chapter has been made up completely of the NaVY students. From these students we have had two active members. to .receive commissions. Ensign Jimmie Maddox ~ ~ now servi_n? m the Soutb Pacific and Ensign Oren Anderson _15

now awaitmg orders. Former Actives Sam Loftin and Phil· lip August arc serving in the Army. C. B. Clark a former pledge is now serving as a Tarmac in Miami Fla. in waitin~ for an opening in Pre-Flight school. Elvia Ettleman a form· er pledge is in a Navy hospital awaiting a call to' Medical School.

The Interfraternity and Sorority Council, of which we arc a member, gave a formal dance on December 14, and Robert Lauderdale had the honor of leading the dance. This is the second consecutive year that the Archon of Alpha Eta ha5 had this honor.

The future for Alpha Eta looks much brighter than it did at the beginning of the year and we expect to have our old house back next July. This will be a great advantage to us.

Alpha Eta wishes all of the chapters of Pi Kappa Phi ~ \·ery prosperous New Year.

Attention! Pi Kappa Phi Alumni Do you want Pi Kappa Phi to keep its place in the Fraternity world? You can

help by sending in your contributions to the Voluntary Dues Fund NOW - not to­morrow, not next week, not next month or next year, but NOW! Contributions to ~he Fund have fallen far below expectations this year, only 43 alumni contributing to 1t since February, 1944.

These are still critical times for fraternities and they are being prolonged. Your National Council has made plans for the post-war problems of the Fraternity, but the development of any such plan requires the interest and cooperation of the ALUMNI.

Contributions since February, 1944 have raised the total of Voluntary Dues receipts to $2,129.34. Here are the 1944 donors. Join them in taking '45 over the top! D. C.
