DEVOTION AND GRATITUDE
-f.
OuR FRATERNITY has many blessings. I have spoken
frequently of the devoted Graduate and Undergraduate
Brothers giving freely of their time in volunteer service for
Alpha Chi Rho. We have a professional staff that has given
and continues to give service to our Fraternity day in and
day out with .~eldom a mention for their untiring efforts in
the routine operation of our Fraternity.
Wilbur M. Walden, our National Secretary since 1924
has served under eighteen Presidents of the Fraternity. He
has served either officially or unofficially in almost ever y
Sterling E. Mayo, Jr.
capacity within the Fraternity. He has served on man y
occasions as the interim Editor of The Garnet & White. In the years 1928 throu gh
1935, his office was that of ational Secretary-Treasurer, which added to his alread y
overburdened duties, those of the National Treasurer. After seven years of trial
however, the amendment creating this position was repealed and the former office
of National Secretary was recreated. Since our National Secretary, known a
" Curly" by over 10,000 Brothers within our Fraternity, assumed his position of
National Secretary we have added Chapters at Iowa State, Purdue, Rutgens, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Temple, Clarkson, Gettysburg, Thiel and Parsons.
Our professional staff for all these many years has, in effect, been a team. Our
National Office Secretary, Josephine Orrico Spagnola, known affectionately by most
of our Brotherhood as " Jo" also began her service to the Fraternity in 1924 and
has continued to give more than a full measure in her daily appointed tasks continuously for the past 35 years. Altho ugh our Fraternity membership has over doubled
in size during their period of service, this team has met the challenge of the enlarged
responsibilities of their respective offices and has contributed far beyond the call
of duty because of their devotion to our Fraternity. It is fitting that special significance be made in this 35th year of service to Alpha Chi Rho. The many,
many Brothers that have been privileged to be closely associated with Curly and Jo
are very conscious of the devotion they have to our Fraternity. The National
Officers, the National Council, the Past National Officers and the entire Brotherhood wish to express their gratitude at this time to our professional team that has
guided our Fraternity for the past 35 years, and it is our sincere hope that they will
continue to serve Alpha Chi Rho for many years to come.

ALPHA CHI RHO AT PARSONS COLLEGE
Another New Chapter at Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa
by
WILB UR
M.
"CURLY"
wALDEN
Nationa.Z Secretary
The Weekend program for the Institution
of Iota Phi may well be the founding of a
nati onal tradition .
~
THE LoRD was good to Iota Phi. Deo:pite
continued radio predictions of a fourinch snow before the Institution on March
21st, beautiful Spring weather with cloudless
skies prevailed throughout Friday, Saturday
and Sunda y. The snow became a myth, but it
did rain on Monday.
I had the pleasure of being at Fairfield six
da ys prior to the Institution preparing the
P ostulants for the Initiation and doing the
thousand and one things which have to be
arr anged for. There were twelve Postulants
and seven pledges. The latter were not eli gible
under College rulings. To differentiate between the two groups we called the eligible
ones P ostulants and the ineligible on es
pl edges. Since they were all prospective
Brothers they all chipped in and worked side
by side and did the enormous amount of work
necessary. The entire first floor had to be
painted, the rooms upstairs had to be painted
and decorated, furniture had to be uncrated,
drapes had to be hung, etc. And with a backgr oun d like that they rushed and pledged
seven men. It was a real challenge.
Dean Sloca and I were the only available
Brothers in town who could pl edge new men
because we had our Badges. Brother Roberts,
President of the College, and Brother Boldt,
Phi Omicr on, who owns an auto agency in
town, were both out of town. The boys haul ed
me out of bed at l :30 o'clock one morning
to go up to the house to pledge a Candidate.
Those were stirring days, not to menti on the
nights.

The Institution
The ceremony wa held in the new F 0 E
Hall in town, a eventy-five by twenty-five
foot hall, one of the mo t perfect places for
the initiation. The candle ceremony wa
beautifully conducted.
All twenty-four members of the Phi Tau
Chapter at Ames, were present as well as five
Brothers from Thiel and six from Purdue.
Stan Hanssen, Phi Kappa, and Phil Stonehouse, Phi Chi, came from Chicago.
It was the first Institution in the history of
the Fraternity in which the President and
Dean of the College participated in the ceremonies. They were Brothers Millard Roberts,
Phil Epsilon '39, and Charles Sloca, Beta Phi
'43, respectively. Past President Stanley G.
Bedford, Phi Omega '41, acted as Ritual
Officer with Past President Ralph B. Williams,
Phi Pi '25, as the Chaplain. The National
Secretary, assisted by Brothers Robert Lundquist and Robert Rohmer, both Phi Tau undergraduates, acted as Sergeants-at-Arms.
We missed the organ music which has
become so popular. Brother Henry Norris,
Epsilon Phi '57, was unable to attend because
of illness.
The entire ceremony took one hour and
thirty-five minutes.
Millard Roberts, Phi Epsilon '39,
P•·esident of Parsons Colleae.
The Open House
Following the Initiation the Chapter House
was open for inspection until 7 P.M. The
boys had done a good job of cleaning, and
at some time in the wee hours finished it. I
never saw a cleaner or neater house anywhere. The Faculty, the Administration, the
other fraternities and the sororities and merchants in town sent flowers and gifts. Every
foot of space was occupied by very happy
people. There was little need fo-r introduction
because of the intimate relations of the small
college.
The Banq uet and Da nce
152 Brothers and guests sat down to an
excellent meal served in "The Commons,"
the beautiful new dining room large enough
to accommodate the entire college student
body. It was recently built by the College.
An eight-page program was distributed as
a souvenir for the entire week-end.

Pa t President, Richard R. Conant, Phi
Omega '20, acted as Toastmaster in his inimi·
table manner and soon had the diners laughing
at hi spontaneous wit and humor.
With the presentation to Initiate Philip R.
Yount of a pair of Alpha Chi Rho cuff links
(provided by Phi Epsilon in honor of Brother
Roberts) for having written the best essay on
"WHY I JOINED ALPHA CHI RHO," there
was a spontaneous call for the beautiful Mrs.
Yount to get into the picture to which she
most graciously responded. The picture ap·
pears elsewhere in this issue. The essay ap·
pears as a special article.
Brother Wi ll iam Tarvin, recip .ent of a sec·
ond pair of cuff·links (also provided by Phi
Epsilon) is one of the very few Initiates ever
to receive 100% in his Exoteric Examina·
tion. For memory and complete understand·
ing of the meaning of Alpha Chi Rho it
would be difficult to find a more thorough
Brother. Initiates Cho and Sewell received
honorable mention with grades of 99% each.
Brother Roberts, President of Parsons Col·
lege, welcomed the Initiates to the campus.
"Rick" Lowe, President of the Chapter, replied with fitting remarks.
"Clink" Mayo, President of the Fraternity,
spoke on the relationship of college and fraternity. He reminded the Initiates of their
responsibilities to Parsons.
National Councillor, William H. Bohlke,
read a sheaf of telegrams received from the
Chapters and individual Brothers.
The main speaker was our inimitable Past
President, "Bob" Stewart of Purdue whose
topic was "The Fraternity-Asset or Liability." Primarily based on the fraternity's right
of autonomous member hip regulations, the
speech was received with tremendous applause. It made a most favorable impression
on the campus, and it was not difficult to discover the trend of thought at Parsons College.
Then came the singing of AMICI in traditional manner. This time, however, all three
stanzas were sung. The guests were placed in
the middle of the room with the Brothers on
the outside. The second stanza was hummed
by the Brothers with William Tarvin singing
the word in hi beautiful tenor voice. All

joined in the chorus, both Brothers and
guests.
The dance music, provided by an outstanding campus band, was a fitt~ng close to. a day
that was replete with emotiOnal expenences.
The Church Service on Sunday Morning
Nothing I can write will give the reader
a better description of Dr. Roberts' sermon
than the following article written by Initiate
Phil Yount. It follows:
~ "Am I my Brother's keeper?" The answer
is definitely "yes" according to the con·
elusion reached by Brother Millard G. Roberts of Phi Epsilon, President of Parsons
College, in a sermon dedicated to the new
Iota Phi Chapter, given in Barhydt Chapel
Sunday morning, March 22.
In basing his message on the scripture
Genesis IV; 1-15, the Rev. Dr. Roberts
stressed the trend of generations growing up
in a relatively peaceful world to think more
and more of their personal comfort and less
of the plight of their Brothers. The world today is full of quasi-Christians who profess to
be Christians by attending church on Sunday
but whose actions during the week belie their
professions. College students continually meet
problems by admitting that problems exist
and saying "Something ought to be done
about this." But they never think of doing
something themselves, being too busy to be
their Brother's keeper.
Hitler, too, forgot that he was his Brother's
keeper, and became the most hated man, probably, who ever lived. Action in the light of
God's answer to "Am I My Brother's Keeper"
is, if we are to call ourselves Christians, our
only choice.
The Tea
Close to one hundred guests from the Faculty, Administration, and Students, attended
the Tea from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M. Mrs. Roberts
and Mrs. Sloca poured and the Presidents of
the three sororities assisted as ho tesses. Like
all uch events it was a perfect opportunity
to hold a good "post mortem" on all the
events of the week-end. In the writer's opinion
there is no doubt about the o-ood impre ion
created by Alpha Chi Rho at Parson .

IOTA PHI '59
-f..
BEING MARRIED for most of my college
years, working all my spare time to support a family, I had nearly turned into· an
automaton. Or so it seemed. Go to class. Go
to work. Study. Sleep. Go to class. Go to
work. Study. Sleep. Go to class . . . I had
little time to make friends, to participate in
the life of the college. I began to feel that I
was missing a great deal of something I ought
to be getting.
I am a senior now. I hear about a move·
ment to form a new fraternity-Alpha Chi
Rho they call it. This is it. This cal} provide
what is lacking. But wait. What about this
Alpha Chi Rho? Who are they? What do
they stand for? Could I be proud to belong?
I see Dr. Charles Sloca, Dean of the College.
I talk with the leaders of the movement.
Problems. Hard work. Fine-a chance to
lead, a chance to build, a chance for friends
and recognition.
Alpha Chi Rho encourages men to be men.
I wanted what this fraternity had to offer in
the way of opportunity. But I did not want
to sacrifice my individuality. I found I did
not have to. Alpha Chi Rho says, "Be Men."
A "man" is unique and that is what I wanted
to be. That is why Alpha Chi Rho got me.

Dartmouth Chapter Hosts Scholarship Conclave
Dr. Lawrence Ealy, Phi Phi, is featured speaker
by
-f..
WILLIAM
G. LoNG, Phi Nu '59
PHI u at Dartmouth College was the
host of the 1959 Regional Scholarship
Conclave. The Conclave was designed to
bring as many chapter as possible together
for the purpo e of discussing the role of the
fraternity in scholastic achievement on our
college campuses today.
Represented at the Conclave were delegates
from the following chapters: Phi Alpha (Lafayette College), Phi Epsilon (Syracuse Uni-ver ity), Phi Nu (Dartmouth College), Delta
Phi (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), and
Zeta Phi (Clarkson College). A total of 17
.delegates were present during the weekend,
which ran from Friday, April 10 to unday,
April 12.
National President Clink Mayo led the arrivals along with Jack Benke, Assistant ra.
tiona! Secretary, and Dr. Lawrence Ealy,
featured speaker of the weekend. The remainder of the delegates arrived Friday night.
Introductions were made, and during the re t
of the evening the beer flowed and everyone
was given a chance to become acquainted.
Saturday noon marked the beginning of
the Conclave. Jack Benke, recently out of the
service, began by stating that the main purpose of the Conclave was to exchange and
discuss ideas concerning the various chapter
scholarship programs. He pointed out that
every chapter must feel the meaning of scholarship as being one of status. "Status and
scholarship," he said, "should be equated as
being synonymous." It is the responsibility
of each chapter to analyze its problems for
itself, and to respect the positive elements of
scholarship which exist.
He then went on to enumerate some of the
ways a chapter could carry out its scholastic
responsibilities. For one thing, the chapter
should try not to select the "poor" or "weak"
student during its rushing program. These
students, if pledged may act as a detriment
to the entire chapter and thereby weaken the
scholastic standing of the chapter.
Each chapter has a scholarship chairman,
and he is primarily responsible for instigating a scholarship program. This program
should be a comprehensive one, extending
from the time a man is pledged into the fraternity until he graduates, if he needs assistance.
Other a pects of the program mentioned
included the following : exam file, class-notes
file, tutoring system, study area with proper
lighting and other studying facilities, and a
chapter library.
Jack concluded hi talk by tating that we
hould not undere timate the value of scholarhip in fraternity life. "The ' heepskin' i not
the ole crit rion of uccess; still, the best job
offers go to the seniors with the above average grade ."
The next peaker, Dr. Lawrence Ealy, Phi
Phi, new Provo t at Hobart and William
Smith Colleges, spoke on the 'Administrator's
Outlook of cholarship.' "Higher education,"
he aid, "is entering a seller ' market." In
1961 there will be a tremendous wave of high
school student knocking on the doors of college and universities everywhere. This i
bound to cause a great shock to our higher
educational institutions. We must expect this
influx, and prepare for its arrival.
Dr. Ealy continued by bringing out the fact
that the initiated brothers of a chapter are
usually right up with the men's scholastic average. However, it has been found that the
pledges' scholastic average i below that of
the men's average considerably. It is, therefore, w:th the pledges that a cholarship program must begin and, perhaps, be most
intensive.
He proposed that deferred rushing programs
should be instituted at every college in order
to allow the "neophyte" or new student to get
his feet on the ground, academically. A successful example of this system may be found
at Dartmouth, where rushing is deferred until
the beginning of the sophomore year.

The general session then broke up into
smaller discussion groups. In these groups,
various problems concerning chapter scholarship programs were discussed. Later, in the
concluding session, the following points were
brought out:
( 1) The deferred rushing system seems
beneficial in that it allows for greater
scholastic achievement by the individual chapter.
(2) Each chapter should make a conscious
effort to select pledges with scholarship in mind.
( 3) Scholarship assistance should be a
vital part of the pledge program.
(4) A comprehensive scholarship program
for the entire brotherhood should be
worked out and employed.
( 5) Good judgment should be used by the
chapter in electing men to house positions, meaning that a man should be
scholastically capable as well as having the other necessary abilities.
National President Clink Mayo closed the
concluding session of the Conclave by presenting a new program which is to be inaugurated by Alpha Chi Rho during the coming
year. Entitled "Year of Achievement," next
year each chapter is to strive for some "goal"
which is to be set in the near future. These
"goals" might include physical improvements,
revitalized graduate relations, or scholarship
improvement. The Conclave was adjourned,
and the social activities for the evening got
under way.
Adding great success to our festivities that
evening was Walt Lekki, 'Delta Phi, who arranged to have 15 women brought over from
the neighboring Colby Junior College. We
danced and drank, and a rumor had it that
even Jack Benke enjoyed himself! But then,
I've never 'heard of a case when he hasn't
fully enjoyed himself!

ON THE EVE r c of March 14, 1959, at the
omerville Inn in omerville, N.J., Miss Karin
Olson was crowned the Sweetheart of Beta Phi.
Kay, who hails from carsdale, New York, attends
Douglass College and is thus only a few minutes
from "The Crow's est" while at school. Kay is a
ophomore majoring in Home Economics Education
and in Brother Herb Kiehn to whom she is pinned.
Our blond, green-eyed Queen 'is a member of the
University Band, Chapel Choir, and Home Economics Club.
Over one hundred alumni, Brothers, pledges, and
their sweethearts attended the crowning at Beta
Phi's annual weetheart Dinner-Dance. Among the
gue ts were Mr. and Mrs. tewart DeRonde and
Mr. and Mrs. George Mills, our chaperones; Mrs.
Annette MacCallum, our housemother; Mr. W.
Hollander Bohlke, alumnus and National Councilor;
and our new faculty advisor, Dr. Robert Sells and
his wife.
Last year's Queen, Miss Gail Lancaster, presented
the house with a trophy for a "Best Pledge of the
Year" award in appreciation of the honor of having
been Queen of Beta Ph'i.
This year's court included the Misses Alberta
Baker, Barbara Rhodes, Jane Cantoni, and Betty
Luca, nominated respectively by Robert Rudewick,
Frank Clark, William Wemple, and Robert DeCicco.
The fine jazz band of Jimmy Ford provided the
dance mu ic and entertainment for the affair. Brother
Lou Koczela furnished a special musical feature
(the tinkling of glass) by lifting a cha'i r into a
crystal chandelier.
All in all the affair was a great succes the repetition of which we are looking forward to next
year.

Fraternities Need To Emphasize
Intellectual Interests
-f.
Social fraternities in colleges and universities have an opportunity in the develop·
ing program of higher education, Dr. Harvey
A. Neville, vice-president and provost of Lehigh University, said recently at the 131st
national convention banquet of the Delta Phi
fraternity.
More than 300 delegates representing 16
chapters of the fraternity founded in 1827 at
Union College attended the banquet which
marked the 75th anniversary of the founding
of the Lehigh University chapter.
"Fraternities must adapt their social attitudes to the changing emphasis upon intellectual interests and quality of performance in
college work," he said, "if they are to survive
and to fulfill their original high aims."
In comparing the role of fraternities of the
pa·s t with the present, Dr. Neville pointed out
that some of the needs of college students
previously met by the fraternities now are
being provided by the institutions.
"In the earlier days of fraternities, the colleges made little provision for the social development of students and had, in general,
inadequate dining and housing facilities," he
said. "The fraternities helped greatly in meeting these needs for at least a portion of the
students," he continued.
"These deficiencies have now been largely
remedied for the benefit of all students, and
the fraternities .no longer offer their former
exclusive advantages."
Dr. Neville said that election to a fraternity
"is important to the individual as a recognition and acceptance by a group. But, it is not
.
Just
a persona1 rewar df or " a goo d guy " he is expected to contribute, to accept the
responsibilities as well as the rights and privileges of membership."
He urged "fraternities today should build
for the future by returning to leadership in
the pursuit of excellence as expressed by the
F. H. C. Society founded by students at William and Mary College in 1750, 'That Youth
may learn thoroughly to cultivate Virtue and
that Studies may grow strong."
Ten Commandments
A "Teen-Age Ten Commandments" was recently adopted by 4000 student delegates of
the Federation of High Schools in San Francisco. They are:
Stop and think before you drink.
Don't let your parents down; they brought
you up.
Be humble enough to obey. You will be giving orders yourself some day.
At the first moment, turn away from unclean thinking.
Don't show off when driving. If you want
to race, go to Indianapolis.
Choose a date who would make a good
mate.
Go to church faithfully. The Creator gave
us a week: give Him back at least an
hour.
Choose your companions carefully. You are
what they are.
Avoid following the crowd. Be an engine,
not a caboose.
Best of all-keep the original Ten Commandments.

Ealy New Provost
at Hobart College
~
DR. LAwRENCE 0. EALY, Phi Phi, has

Brother Ealy has been serving for the past
year as the Ernest J. King Professor of History at the Naval War College in Newport,
Rhode Island. He is a Commander i"n the
Naval Reserve.
Hobart College, affiliated with the Episcopal
Church, is the oldest liberal arts college in
Western New York, having first been established as Geneva Academy in 1796. It was
chartered as a college and took its present
name in 1822. William Smith College, a nondenominational school for women, was
founded in 1908 on a campu adjoining
Hobart's. The two institutions merged into
a corporate entity in 1943 sharing faculties
and facilities but still conducted as separate
colleges.
Brother Ealy graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania and its Law School, and from
the Navy Supply Corps School at Harvard
University Graduate School of Business Administration. He is the author of many books
and professional articles and serves on the
Board of the AMERICA JoURNAL OF LEGAL
HISTORY, of which Chief Justice Warren is the
chairman. He is a lawyer, member of the bar
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but has spent most
of his adult career in the field of higher education. In addition to Temple and the Naval
War College he has also taught at Rutgers
University and at Beaver College, and was on
the Naval Reserve Officers' School staff at
Villanova University.
In 1956 Dr. Ealy was the editor of the revised Exoteric Manual of the Fraternity,
which is still in use. He also served as a
Trustee of the Alpha Chi Rho Educational
Foundation and organized the competition for
the Richard E. Kremer Basketball Trophy between Phi Phi and Epsilon Phi chapters. He
was one of the organizers of Epsilon Phi and
served as Faculty Advisor to the Chapter for
a number of years.

At 3:30 A.M. ON APRIL 9TH an exhausted
hut elated Brotherhood stumbled from the Phi
Psi Chapter House after electing an entirely new
slate of officers, the ones who will be directing the
activities of the corning year. Brother Emil Arle
was chosen President, and a ri s'ing Junior, Brother
Donald Fish will assist him as Vice President.
Others elected were Brothers Beaven, Pledgemaster;
And erson, Chaplain ; Sweet, Treasurer; and Filiurin, Sergeant·at·Arms. Brother Hammaker this year
will hold down two jobs, as recording secretary and
social committee chairman. Great things are expected of Brother Hammaker, especially in the latter case where he is said to have had considerable
experi ence.
Four Sophomores were Initiated the same ni ght
in time to participate in the all important elections.
They are Jim Rader, John Parsons, Silas Weir, and
George Engle. President Arl e expressed his desire to try to continue to meet the fin e standards
set and followed by Brother Graham, who, as the
past President, displayed truly great leadership and
administrative ability.
With three intramural champion hips under our
belt, Phi Psi is well on the road to winning the
intramural trophy for the second year in a row.
Brothers Abeles and P eatman were ins trumental in
helping us take a second 'in basketball. On the interscholastic side, newly elected Phi Beta Kappa,
Brother James Canivan, is doin g a fin e job on the
baseball mound for the Trinity Bantam .
Brother Loven, writer, producer, and director of
Phi P si's interfratern'i ty "stunt night" skit, did not
disappoint us as he toiled industriously to present
the college community with a hilarious t heatrical
based on a combination of melodrama, fairy tales,
and rock 'n roll.
Brothers Frost and Foster are to he congratulated
on receiving $2000 scholarships to Yale University
Graduate School. We wish all the luck in the
world to Brother Graham as he begins a career in
the entertainment world.

have now given way to the relaxations of
summer. Brothers are anticipating interesting summer cruises (courtesy of the Department of the
avy) , extend ed vacations at summer re orts (compliments of the ol' man ) and some are even planning to 'i ndulge in summer employ ment (a supplementary necessity) .
At least one Brother, Mack Fletcher, is looking
forward to the beginning of th e fall term, and
justifiably so. Mack, a College student who earlier
in the year was elected into the P ennsylvania
Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, has been accepted as
a F ellow in the Woodrow Wilson chool of International Relations at Princeton University. We at
Phi Phi are extremely proud of Mack's latest academi c honor.
F our Broth ers will join Mack in the June 10 Commencement ceremoni es at Philadelphia's Co nvention
Hall. Lost to the und ergraduates through graduation were Bob Deck, School of Education, and J ohn
DeCsepel, Dave Erickson and Sim Park, Wharton
School of Finance and Commerce.
At initiation ceremonies on April 6, three undergrads joined the Brethren. Fred Lombardo, a junior
from Cleveland and Jim Benjamin and John Faiss,
freshm en from Ticonderoga, ew York, and Drexel
THE GARNET AND WHITE
26
Hill, respectively, are the newly initiated Brothers.
The annual election of officers was held on April
7. Joe Burns, a College junior from Shamokin,
Pa., was elected President and Social Chairman.
Brothers elected to other offices were: Jack Seksin·
sky, Vice-President; Bob Busser, Treasurer; Tony
Lyle, Secretary and Chapter Correspondent; Lloyd
Winter, house manager and Ritual officer; Jim Ben·
jamin, Chaplain; John Faiss, Sergeant-at-Arms, and
John Hara, rushing chairman.
On behalf of the undergraduates, the corres·
pondent wishes to extend a "well-done" to past
president Busser and his administration. The sue·
cessful strides made during the past academic year
are a tribute to Bob and his assistants.
Skimmer Day, Pennsylvania's unique contribution
to spring weekends, was eliminated from the Uni·
versity social calendar this year. Despite its of·
ficial demise, a "support the crew" fervor swelled
on campus. A confident projection into the future
at press time was that Skimmer may have been
officially off the social calendar, but the spontaneous May 2 gathering on the banks of the Schuykill
wasn't easily convinced.
Through the prolific scoring of Brother Seksinsky, Phi Phi captured the Alpha Chi Rho basket·
ball championship of Philadelphia for the thi~d
consecutive year, defeating Epsilon Phi, 39-31.
Jack's 22 points assured our Chapter of permanent
retention of the Richard E. Kremer Memorial
Award.

SPRI ' G has finally arrived here on Morningside
He'ights and it is taking full effect on the
Brothers. Preparations for the intramural softball
season and a full social program are in full swing
despite the fact that finals are within sweating distance.
After completing a successful basketball season,
Phi Omega is looking forward to the fraternity
softball championship. Since most of our varsity
athletes have completed their seasons, there is
plenty of talent available. Even several pledges
have hopes of breaking into the starting line-up.
Spring training was opened appropriately on April
2 with a party which the Brothers won by placing
first in the University Blood Drive.
The social calendar shows no open week-ends
until finals, if you can consider those open. The
highlights are the annual Phi Omega picnic and
spring Initiation sandwiched around the Interfra-
ternity Formal and Spring Carnival. ~&nst~uction
of a pie-throwing booth for the Carnival IS now
in the works. The net result of these events should
be a further decrease in the number of pins being
sported by the Brothers. The latest to surrender
their Badges were Bob Yoos, Gerry Brodeur, and
Bernie Macarillo.
We are happy to announce the election of officers
for the coming year. They are: Robert Yoos, Pres·
ident; Robert McCool, Vice-President; Robert
Soltys, Treasurer; David Farmer, Secretary; Louis
Minotti, Ritual Officer; Kenneth Vaughn, Chaplain, and Joseph Giacalone, Chapter Correspondent.

As THIS NOTE is being compiled the Crow house
at Lafayette is busy with its spring programs.
Coming up very soon is the annual Spring Interfraternity weekend and we have planned to spend
the time in celebration at a Pocono Mountain resort
and as this letter goes to press the preparations are
well under way and the success of the festival assure::d. As well as the usual run of informal parties
and gatherings the weekend is to 'include a full
schedule of interesting and exciting games.
The Phi Alpha spring sports program is also in
full swing. Under the guidance of Brother Bernstein
the softball squad is undefeated and hopes for a
winning season are high. Preparations for the annual inter-fraternity track meet are now under way.
Brother Clearwater reports to me that the team is
shaping up well and that we are assured of sweeping the field. As 'i n last year's competition, great
things are expected from the team spark plug"Flash" Shaw who turned in some excellent times
in last season's meet.
Now that the snow and mud have cleared the
gronnd a crew of hardworking brothers has begun
the task of improving the grounds surrounding the
house. The winter season always takes its toll and
the job of repairing the damage is great. But through
dHigent effort, signs of life are once more springing
from the ground. Along with our material improvements the mind of the Crow house is being reborn
again. Under the leadership of Brother Bird our
program of inviting faculty guests for the evening
is once again moving along after lying dormant for
some time.

Broth r Widom ha begun plans for the annual
Phi Alpha Alumni W ekend in June and from here
it look like it i going to be quite an affair. We
are all looking forward to welcoming back many of
our Brothers and would like to take this opportunity
to extend a very cordial invitation to all alumni.
With the Step-singing competition coming up soon
many of the brothers are limbering up their vocal
cords some of which are used only at parties.
Brothers Wager and Fleishner have organized a
rather impressive group of voices and halls can be
heard ringing with their mellow tones.
That is all from this end, except to wish our
Brother House all the luck 'in the world on his
forthcoming trip to Berlin. It is quite an honor and
we all sincerely hope that he will return.

WITH THE COMING OF SPRING, many changes
were made around the old barn-yard.
The "old farmer" Stoddard ordered in the local
Carlisle painters in order to cover over some of the
blemishes of some of the wild events of past days,
while "Henry Hawk" Wiley and the "Old friendly
bear" T. Herz, swept the "mouse," the "rat" and
the "shmoo" out of their respective holes to help in
preparations for the annual spring dance. The dress
for the affair was Bermudas which turned out to
be extremely convenient for all couples.
Postulant Dingee in the meantime has rounded
his fellow postulants into fairly good shape, with
a little prodding from the brothers, and Brotheriza·
tion has been set for May 4th. Besides giving brother Jenkins a nice "hand," the pledges built a very
sturdy (?) outdoor fireplace, under the directions
of brother Herb, whose father is an extremely successful brick-layer.
And, of course, Spring brings the sound of the
bat hitting the ball, and we are having a very good
season and could take down the campus championship, thanks primarily to the brilliant pitching of
Charlie Chicken alias "Penquin" alias "Corn Fritter" alias "Mr. Wonderful" after a brillian 4 hitter against the Sigma Chi's. By the time this is
printed, I imagine the Pittsburgh Pirates will be
on top of the National League as expected. We
here at the Dickinson Chapter are 99% in back of
the "Bucs," the lone exception being one poor old,
die-hard Dodger fan. Old brother Crayton hasn't
seen the light yet, but we can hope anyway.
27
In conclu ion, we here at Phi Beta hope that all
of you hav a real good summ er, and will h looking
forward to seeing many of you in th e year to oome.

THERE's BIG NEWS from the Syracuse Crows this
Spring. Alpha Chi Rho has become the first
fraternity in campus history to win the William
Pearson Tolley Award three times and thus retire
the cup.
The award, called the Tolley Cup, is presented
each year to the house at Syracuse which is judged
tops_ in social ~ctiviti~s, campus and co=unity
ser~~~· scholastic ach1evement, athletics, campus
actJvll!es, and a host of other categories. There are
several particular things which we feel proved to
be a _great benefit to the Brothers and pledges and
contnbuted substantially to our winning the Cup.
One of these is our guest speaker program. Each
week we invite an outstanding member of the
University faculty or administration or of the
Syracuse community to dinner at the house. After
dinner we have an 'informal discussion with him.
Other factors we feel were important included
winning the University Rifle Team Championship,
our huge Colgate poster, our giving the Blood-drive
Trophy, and our Christmas decorations. We are
also pleased to announce that our scholastic average rose during the past year. Of course we are
all very pleased and are now working hard for next
year's competition.
. Yearly elections were re_cently held at Phi Epsilon. New officers for the' coming year are: John
Bertolozzi, president; Dick Allen, vice-president·
Pete Wittkuhns, 'treasurer; Frank Delardi, secre:
tary; Bob Muccigrosso, ritual officer- Tom Van
Amburgh, chaplain; Walt Dean, serg~ant-at-arms;
Doug Koeppen, pledge master; Gordie Van Amburgh, representative at large; Harold Bennett,
Chapter Correspondent.
Miss Ann Cameron, a Sen'ior in Delta Delta Delta
sorority, has been chosen our Chapter Sweetheart
for this year. She was nominated by Bob Zuckerberg. Ann will represent Phi Epsilon in the National Sweetheart Contest.
Eight men are being initiated this Spring. The
new brothers are: Gary Whittaker, Newt Wiley,

HERE AT THE CROW HOUSE at Cornell, the four
fall pledges, Carl Clauss '61; Joe Deglenfelder
'60, Bob Mori '61, and Buzz Stillinger '61, started
this current semester by defying the dares and
threats of the Brothers, and successfully kidnapping
their work boss, eil Greenwood '60. The Brothers
were not too happy with the ease at which the
pledges were able to succeed in this bit of cloak
and dagger work. It was agreed by all though, that
the colors Neil was dyed were good looking. The
four have since been 'i nitiated, and thus are now
opposing the snappy antics of our fifteen new
pledges.
Speaking of our new pledge class, ask Bill Kilty
abo ut them the next time you see him. Bill was at
our house over the initiation weekend of the fall
pledges, but his condition upon leaving us was
slightly changed from when he came. These pledaes
being very courteous, decided to pay Bill an e:r1;
morning visit. From the grapevine, it is understood
that they branded Bill across the chest with Phi
Theta. But by now, after sampling some of Uncle
Sam's hospitality, he probably considers this ra'id
a pleasure.
A word of advice to one and all whom we hope
will be visiting Cornell in the near future. Upon
arriving on the campus, watch for and observe all
traffic signs, or you will wind up going around in
circle . A new research library is being built on the
Arts Quad, and the traffic system has been altered
until it i now a confusing pattern of one way and
dead-end streets.
A the Crows returned from their spring vacation,
it was noticed that Dick Davis '61 and Bob Mori '61
were without fraternity pins, having given them up
to Martha Mampe and Sandra Britton rf' pectively.
We of the Phi Theta Chapter believe that Frank
Utter, originally '58, made a most remarkable aca-
demic achievement during the fall semester. Two
years ago Frank entered the Army and did not re·
turn to school until thi fall. By the time the se·
mester was over, Frank had raised his average 30
points. At the initiation banquet in February, he
not only received the plaque for the mo t improved
average, but also the one for the highest average in
the bouse.
This spring there were the elections of next year's

In the social circles, the Crows have been having
a wild time. Along with the house parties, including the Mountain Dew Party given by the pledges
for the Brothers, were the University sponsored
events. The first of these was I.F.C. Weekend at
which the Kingston Trio entertained before a cheering crowd of 6000 students at Barton Hall. If any of
you have the opportunity to see the Trio in person,
do so, for they are great. Later ip. 1the semester,
Spring Weekend was celebrated. The highlight of
this affair was the dance at Barton Hall, with Richard Maltby and his orchestra providing the entertainment. Another social event bailed by all, was the
return of room parties. It is hoped that there will
be no further ban on such affairs.
We here at Phi Theta wish the graduating Brothers of all chapters the best of luck in all and what·
ever fields they will be entering, and to those of us
whose schooling is not completed, one final and
happy thought; only three to four more months and
then it is back to project , papers, and exams again.

In the Fall, H erb will enter Howard Medical School
located near the hom e of his favorite baseball team,
the W a hington Senator . The best of everything
to both H erb (and the Senators).
Recent elections have produced a very capable
slate of lead ers for next year. Brother Michael
Berta, a chemistry major from New Kensington,
Pa., has been elected president. Elected to the vice
presidency was Brother Walt Koegel, a chem major
from Baldwin, Long Island. Our secretary is Brother
Ashwell and fulfillin g the duti es as treasurer will
be Brother Bill Coo n, a math major from Meadville.
The coming Acad emi c year shoud prove most successful for Phi Iota.
Spring brings with it a series of soc1al events.
The Crows held their spring dinn er-dance at the
Wanango Country Club near Reno, Pa. Brothers,
pledges, and dates alike had a wonderful evening
and we are lookin g forward to returning there next
year. The all college formal is to be held on May
8th, another big night on the Crows' social calendar.
Plans are in the making for the celebration of our
45th anniversary. A banquet for alumni and resident
mt:mb ers has been planned for Saturday June the
6th. We are hopin g for a large attendance. This
weekend is Parent's Weekend and events have been
planned to show the Moms and Pops a good tim e.
While our senior broth ers are making their last
minute drive or dive for the sheepskin, plans are
in each of their mind for graduate school. Brother
Paul Kelly w'ill enter Purdue Univer ity as a psychology maj or . Broth er J ohn Dunham will pile into
his new Impala convertible and head for the School
of Retailing at Pitt. Brother Phil Klukoff has the
Michi gan State Graduate School of English picked

to N.Y.U. School of Law. Brother Neil Abramson
is to attend Einstein Medical School in New York
City.
With initiation just a few days off and final exams
but a few short weeks away, the Crows will undoubt edly continue to keep busy. That's the news
from Phi Iota. Have a good summ er and we'll see
everyon e next Fall.

Crow get the urge to be outdoor ; ub equently, we're vigorously engaged play ing intramural softball, horses hoe , tennis, and co-ree activities. Cars are being hined, and many of the
guys are taking their girls out to a nearby lake to
study.
Another sign of the season in our Chapter is
the collection of fly- eating plants of Broth ers ellers and Thompson. These weird specimens were
sent from North Carolina and, oddly enou gh, have
'taken a great liking to the Illinois climate.
One of the flowers in our garden is Lynn Bell, a
Tri Delta and IF queen finalist, whom we have
the privilege of sponsoring. Lynn and Brother Jim
Rehak recently announ ced their engagement.
A group of Crows recently caught t he last of
winter on the ski slopes of Aspen, Colorado. They
were : George Sellers, Paul Gaskins, Bill Geis, Russ
Bolton, Bob Klocek, and Stan Moleski. Fortunately,
they've all returned in one piece.
Other Crows on the go this year are Brothers
K en Bonnem and Wayne Stephens, who were
elected to Star and Scroll, a ophomore activity
honorary. Ken is presently holding 3 chairmanships in the student union, is writing a column
for the "Daily Illini," and is holding membership
in Phi Mu Alpha, a music honorary. Wayne is a
track lettenn an and member of the University Rifle
Team.
Three new initiates were awarded theu Illini
num eral . They are J erry Wilson, a basketball
standout, and George Brooke and Fred Wettering,
a co uple of fencers. Fred along with Terry Romack, also a new initiate, were recently elected to
Phi Eta Sigma, schola t'ic honorary.
Along the scholarship line we've star ted a new
policy at our Chapter ; t hat is, the formin g of
teams among the pledges and the Brother . The
hi gh man of last seme ter and the low man of
Ia t semester team up with two men with average
grades, and the next hi gh and th e next low men
t eam with two more from the middle; this process
goes on down the line, and we finally have our
teams.
On April 26 the books were laid aside, and Phi

We're all looking forward to next year's picnic.
There's always a great time when we get together.

Rounding out the school year, our spring formal
should be real "gassy"; this year's dance is titled
"Don't Go Near the Water," and it will be decorated
like a big yacht club. We're planning on hanging the same type of flag on our mast as you probably remember from the movie.
From the looks of things Phi Kappa will be
hitting the studies and activities pretty hard this
semester. We would like to wish all of our Chapters the best of luck this semester and especially
Iota Phi.

SPRING SEMESTER has brought with it a full
calender of social events, athletic contests and
the inevitable final exams. The Phi Lambda Crows
have really excelled 'i n intramural athletics this year.
Copping the intramural basketball championship
was the high spot of our athletic program this year.
Paced by Bill Funk, Barry Funk, Gil Blew, Kent
Schoch, Lee Erickson, and AI Marcus, -the Crows
walloped Chi Phi 46-28 for the crown. This victory
was especially sweet to us since this was the first
basketball crown in twenty years for the Penn State
Crows. Our bowling team has also been having a
fine year. We are now leading our league and are
hoping to add another trophy to our mantle. Right
now, the Crows are 'in fifth place out of 55 Fraternities in the intramural program, and still heading
for the top.
The coming of spring also brings with it the 'important task of choosing Chapter Officers. We at
Phi Lambda are proud to announce the election of
the following officers: president, AI Kuosman; vicepresident, Wend ell Pass; ritual officer, Al Marcus;
chaplain, Jerry Ziegler; treasurer, AI McFall; recording and Chapter Correspondent, Ron Bleier;
sergeant-at-arms, Lee Erickson; and executive com·
mittee member-at-l,arge, Kent Schoch.
Preparations are now in full swing for Penn
State's annual Spring Week. The Crows are really
going "Greek" for the occasion. We are doing a
modern parody of Caesar's death entitled "77 Appian
Way." The Brothers and pledges are already fighting
over who is going to get the part of Cookie-the hep
chariot parking lot attendant-but Postulant Guzzo
has the part cinched already due to his abundant
growth of hair.
Spring has brought with it as usual a rash of
pinn'ings, engagements and marriages. Brothers
Kuosman, Kaercher, and Bleier were somehow
"trapped" into giving up their pins, while Brother
Bleier later took a bigger step and became engaged.
Condolences are also in order for Postulant Kebert
who took the fatal step and got married.
We would like to announce the initiation of the
following men: Gilbert L. Blew '61, Gerald A.
Ziegler '61, Edwin S. Marshall '61, Wend ell K. Pass
'61, Charles A. Cole '61, Ronald P. Bleier '61, Barry
H. Funk '60, Alan B. McFall '61, and Peter K.
Laros '61. Four new Postulants have also been added
to the ranks, they are: Roger Care '61, Joseph J.
Guzzo '61, Robert D. Kebert '61, and Adam Mosteller. Brother Marshall is doing a bang-up job as
rushing chairman this spring.
This Spring Phi Lambda is losing nine seniors
through graduation. Those going out into the "cruel
world" are : Bill Bliss, Ed Knoll, Dick Garber, Leo
Kaercher, Bob McNeil, Marlyn Rabenold, Lou Camino, and Denny Driscoll. Phi Lambda would like
to wish them as well as other graduating Crows
around the country the best of luck.
We would also like to take this opportunity to
welcome Iota Phi into the Fraternity of Alpha Chi
Rho, and also to invite any Crow who gets wanderlust on these beautiful Spring days to stop in and
say hello.

Election of new house officers took place in March
with the following results: James Manning elected
president; Glenn C. Lee, Jr. reelected Vice President; Larry Dashiell elected House Manager; and
Bill Corr and Paul Rowe elected to executive committee.
Shortly after installation of new officers a gigantic
house redecoration program was undertaken. We
now have a freshly painted living room, din'ing room,
and bath rooms. The cook's room was wallpapered,
and new curtains were purchased for many windows
around the house.
The highlight of the social season was, of course,
our pledge dance which this time went far beyond
the norm of what we consider equitable for. a pledge
dance (and our norms at Phi Rho are very high) .
The theme was "Disneyland" and the house was
decorated into different "lands." The basement
became Tomorrowland complete with time machines
and weird sounds. The dining room-dance floor became Adventureland and reeked with all sorts of
South Seas type decorations. The bar (under our
front porch) became Frontierland and was decorated with sawdust, swinging doors, wagon wheels
and steer heads. But above all this was the front
porch, which was flooded to make the moat for the
castle of Fantasyland. Across the moat lay an authentic, rickety drawbridge, attainable only by climbing a rickety set of steps up from the lawn. Emerging from the moat were vast quantities of what looked
like steam-it was all actually dry ice fumes. Above
the moat the front of the house had been redone
with cardboard and paint to look like a castle. A
minor amount of water dripped through to Frontierland, adding to the atmosphere, as those entertaining
in this section could make believe they were snowed
in and the water was dripping through the roof in
a thaw.
All in all, it was really a superduper affair. No
question about 'it.
We are planning to finish off the social calendar
this semester with an overnight party at Hoberg's
resort at Clear Lake. Here there will be fun for
every taste--water skiing, swimming, riding, tennis,
golf, shuffleboard, etc. This should be an exciting
weekend.
Sportswise, Phi Rbo has been doing very well. Our
sterling basketball team, cheered by a spirited rooting section, took third place in intramural basketball;
and as this is written, the bowling team is approaching and her University championship. Of course the
whole country knows now that Cal is NCAA basketball champion for 1958-59. The final victory resulted
'in a wave of enthusiasm around the campus, and
many Rhoboys participated in an impromptu rally
held at the Greek theatre shortly after the game was
over.
But, as always, not verything can go w 11. Tragedy is stalkin g Phi Rho. Th F'ubmobiie• i upon

Music was supplied by the Five harps, a local band.
Many small excursions were taken to the Ledges

Another big event for the Crows of Phi Tau was
the Institution of the Iota Phi Chapter at Parsons

It was great to have Curly vis'it us for a few· days

his talk about the Fraternity.

A sign of pring here "on the bank " even more
sure than that faithful harbinger, the Robin or April
Showers, is the cruising of many and varied, multicolored convertibles up and down Union t. A very
minor point to mention in connection with th ese
modern chariots is that they are, of course, filled
with girls. The call of these sirens combines with
the stern influence of the ROTC department's renewed drills to put everyone at Beta Phi in a
"Springy" mood.
An additional sign of Spring here at Rutgers is
Greek Week, during which the following men will
become brothers: Reeves Lippincott, the pledge
president from Woodstown, N.J.; Frank Clark from
Elberton, N.J.; Tom Garmew from Bloomfield, N.J.;
Bob Haskell from Newark, N. J .; Spicer Learning
from Cape May, N. J. ; George Myerson from Netcong, N. J.; Richard Pullin from Pt. Pleasant Beach,
N.J.; Bob Rudewick from Washington, N.J.; Steve
Skasko from Rockaway, N.J. ; Phil Vampatella from
Islip T errace, Long Island; Rich Vnenechak from
Boonton, N. J.; and Bob Vojack from Perth Amboy,
N. J. Here's wishing them all a warm welcome 'into
the Brotherhood.
The big events on our social calendar for Spring
are the annual Alumni Reunion, the IFC Block
Party, and Mili Ball Week-End.
Doing a little socializing on their own are Brothers Cliff Griggs '59 and AI Johnson '59 who, during
the winter, became engaged to Miss Carol Hansmann
and Miss Joan Hnatt, respectively.
Intramurals are going full swing as we approach
the end of the season, aud we at Beta Phi are doing
decidedly better than last year.
That about wraps it up from ll Union St., except
to wish all of you a good summ er.

THis ARTICLE rin gs down the curtain on another
very fruitful year at the old white house on
Tibbitts Ave.
Scholastically last semester, we finished in the very
respectable second spot. Our Brother average was
far and away the best in the I.F.C., but when totaled
with our pledges' for house averages, we were
squeezed into second place. This semester the seniors
are trying to finish with top grades even though they
are carefully and happily checking off the days left
for them and the pledges are being prodded in
their studies as well as in their pledging.
ight
We arc having a good year in f. F. ports.
Broth rs and four pi dges griLL d their way to
fini sh second in our I.F. basketball league with a
reco rd of eight wins and four losses. Ping-Pong
and handball t am al o adva nced to second place
in t heir leagues. With thes sports un der our belt,
the Brothers have been ge ttin g used to the fair
weather by practi cing for the coming softball, golf,
and horseshoe leagues.
Varsity sports are receivin g more participa tion by
outstanding Broth ers and pledges after th e row
participation in hockey and swim ming. T ennis is now
of interest, Brothers Bob Castle, '58, and Tom olarek, '59, are showing their skill. Delta P hi Chapter
has taken over the school golf team with Brothers
Dave Owens, 60, and Gardner Moody, '60, playing
No. 1 and No. 2 and Brothers Bill Dunn, '61, and
Marie Hewett, '59, also on the team. Brother Paul
Nagle, '61, plans to hurdle his way to a few wins for
R.P.I. track team. Pledge AI Ashley, '62, is playing
freshman lacrosse and pledges Ken Potz, '62, and
Bob Barnes, '62, are playing freshman baseball.
With all the work that has been going on at the
House, ranging from studi es to goofin g off by the
sen'iors, all the Brothers are planning fo r Soiree
weekend (May 2, 3). It will feature fraternity parties, a lacrosse game with Johns Hopkins University,
the music of Les and Larry Elgart, the Dukes of
Dixieland.
Before the enjoyment of this weekend, the Brothers and pledges will experi ence Grand Marshall
weekend which is also the "Hell Week" for the
pledges. The Grand Marshall and President of the
Union are elected by the student body after much
campaigning including a parade of frat ernity floats.
For the pledges, this week is long awaited and will
end with a Brotherhood March (a five mile run ),
their pledge party, and the ini tiation of AI Ashley,
'62; Steve Blanchard, '62; Bob Barnes, '62 ; Bill
Danusiar, '62 ; Ed Feltham, '62 ; Ed J eter, '61 ; Ken
Potz, '62 ; Dennis Reardon, '62 ; and Dick Wilcox,
'62. To add to the confusion of the weekend, the
Graduate Brothers will be here and it has been
said that they are planning to make their weekend
even better than the one last year.
The Steward Fred Scoville, '60, is certainly happy
about the pledge proj ect as it will mean a modernized kitchen. Besides new paint, the kitchen will
have a new floor and ceiling, working counters, and
a few new pots and pans. Housemanager George
Kirouac is not as happy, as he is to lead the pledges
and supervise the completion of their project.
Delta Phi is proud to announce the election of
new officers: President, Dave Owens, '60; Vice President, Calvin Peterka, '60; Ritual Officer, George
Kirouac, '60 ; Chaplain, Charles Bahr, '60 ; Secretary, John Dormer, '61 ; Treasurer, Clifford Baacke,
'61; Sergeant at Arms, Tom Otto, '60; Chapter Correspondent, Paul Nagle, '61 ; Member of the Executive Committee, Ken Rubsamen, '61. After the
well done job of the previous offi cers, these Brothers
are congratulated and encouraged to lead Delta Phi
to a good forth coming year.

SPRING IS IN FULL BLOOM here in Philadelphia
and the warm spring breeze, scented with the
odor of factory smoke, is beginning to penetrate
our nostrils. We all know that finals are just around
the corn er and yet it's hard to realize that we'll
soon be cramming again.
Following are the r esults of the annual elections :
John P . Simpson, Jr., was elected president;
orroan Buehler, vice president; Paul L. Milligan, recording secretary ; David R. Dorsett, corres ponding
secretary; J ohn A. Kujawa, treasurer ; John H. MacDonald, ritual officer; Donald Moser, Chaplain;
Raymond Buck, sergeant-at-arms; Marvin Maurer;
secretary to the executive committee; William lies,
Jr., memb er-at-large of the executive comnlittee ;
and David R. Dorsett, social committee chairman.
T emple's annual All-Univer ity Carnival presented a challenge to the Crows and we carne
through, only not \vi th top honors. In fact, the
jud ge were so confused that they had to invent
a new special award for us. Brother John Kujawa
acted as " barker" calling in to an old west side
show all who were interested. Inside five lovely
Pari ian Can-Can girls took over (Brothers, Simpson, MacDonald, Bill Baker, Bill Davis and Henry
Betack) . Many, man y peo ple wer e quite surprised.
Brother Howard Ferguson was co-chairman of the
Carnival Committee and Brother Dorsett was chairman of the Crow's committee.
In the spo (r ) tlight, Brother Ray Buck, in his
first time at bat in college baseball, won the game
for Temple against Lafayette. Ray's homerun set
the score at 1-0 for T emple. Needless to say the
Temple Crows are mi ghty proud of Brother Buck.
Brother Paul Weathers deserves a round of cheers
also. Mainly for his good work all year as sports
chairman, but also in leading th e Crows to a fourth
place position in the IF basketball standin gs this
season. Hats off here at Epsilon Phi to Senior
Weathers.
On the social side, we turn ed out some franti c
looking specimens at our "Haunted House Party."
The basement, resembling a tomb, was jumping
with vamp'i res, ghosts and goblins and many professionally done. A body stretched out on the living
room floor with a wooden spike through its heart
made a fin e welcome mat for Brothers and their
dates. Cobwebs were provided at var'ious dark doorways by using black thread to give "goose bumps"
to our guests. Thanks to Brother Budd Isaac and
his social committee, his last official act of the year
was a tremendous success.
Greek Weekend, held April 10 and 11 this year,
added to the social calendar another full weekend.
After the annual Greek sing (Brother .Simpson led
our group) , Fraternities on campus held open house.
The following evening (Saturday ) the Crow Brothers and dates assembled together at the Ben Franklin Hotel for the formal dinner-dance.
We are proud to announce the initiation of three
new Brothers, Raymond Buck, '61, Philadelphia,
Pa. ; Marvin Maurer, '61, Lancaster, Pa.; and David
Dorsett, '61, Lock Haven, Pa. We are happy to
announce three new postulants : Louis J. Otto, '62,
Hackensack, N.J. ; James J. Garrison, Wilkes Barre,
Pa., '62; and Harold M. Hoch, '62, Wapwallopen,
Pa.
Ralph Montgomery Hintle, Temple Crows Masco t, is crying the blues. When asked for his comment, Ralph, who is doing graduate work after receiving his degree from Rutgers, told us that his
girl fri end, Alice, left him. Further inves ti gation
revealed that Alice has been picked up by the
city dog pound. Our sympathy to Ralph.
Six Brothers were cited by the National Association of Christian and J ews at a dinner recently at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel. The Brothers, William Walker, John MacDonald, David Dorsett, Marvin Maurer, Robert Wh"i te and Paul
Weathers, worked on the National REACH (Reestablish Education At Clinton High ) Campaign.
REACH, instituted here at T emple, 'i s collecting
fund s on a national collegiate level to help rebuild
the bombed Clinton High chool. Brother Walker
served as general solicitation chairman, IacDonald
as assistant and Dorsett as public relations director. Brother Weathers, Wlute and Maurer served
as solicitation cornm'i ttee members.

ow IS THE TIME for all Brothers to begin
thinkin g of an enj oya ble and prosperous summer . With all the maj or weekends and curricular
duti es behind us, th e only thin g to look forward
to is graduation, the seniors, any way. Zeta Phi
will grad uate 25 brothers, so it "is a grea tly anticipated occasion by a good portion of th e membership.
They, the seniors, have relinquished their offi ces
and other r esponsibilities to the fraternity, to the
r emainin g membership. A word of good lu ck and
conaratulations to th e new officers, especially Jack
Che~vers, '60, President and Carl Berlinger '60,
Treasurer.
Although s umm r vacation ha s hcen look d forward to vcr since th fall, J thi nk vcryon will
ogre that this y ar has been on of the mo t enjoyable a nd fruit[ uJ in th
frat rnity. Looking
back, w r member th e Ugly Man onte t whi h
Zeta Phi won with o ur entry
orman Park '60,
"The ugli es t man on th campus ;" colic Ling fund
from th town' people for chari ty; Fall Weekend
at Tupp r Lake; l c Ca rniva l ; IF We kend; and
probably mo t of aJI, Sprin g Week nd.
Ru ss Greene '59, social chairman outdid him el£
for that weekend. lt a ll began with a BeachCom bers party on Friday night, with everyone
decked out in co tum es whi ch varied from the
mo t elega nt of Cabana wear right from the pages
of Esquire, to worn -o ut dungarees cut off at the
kn ee. The food was terri fic. There were 70 hu hels
o f stea med and raw clam , hot dog and hamburgers and all the in cid ental s in cl uding all yo u cou ld
drink .
ix o'clock Sat urday morning found the
Crow h ouse in a furor of excitement, the utter
chao of everyone makin g their own breakfa t, and
in the background, jazz being pounded out by a
combo proved to be one of the high points of the
whole weekend. A t ten o'clock, half of the membership and the"ir date boarded buse for the two
hour rid e to the Swi Chalet at Lake Placid, with
the mo t conservative set of the fraternity not leavin g until noo n. The Swiss Chalet has th e reputation o f being the most bea utiful hotel in Lake
Placid, with its healed swimmin g pool, wonderful
view, and luxurious dining room, one could not
help but have a grea t time. With Spring weekend
also bein g Alumni weekend, a t Zeta Phi, many old
fri endships were rekindled, with reminiscences of
occasions and good times of previous years. At
one o'clock the bewitching hour for the girls who
attend Potsdam State, found about half of the party
boardin g bu es for the trip back to P otsdam. The
other half remained in Lake Placid to live it up
un til well into the morning.
On Sunday th e whole con glomerati on of fraternity
members, alumni and their dates, chaperons, and
guests once more united for one final blast at
Potsdam, in a seclud ed wooded area for a picnic.
With all thi s emp hasi on social life, one would
expect somewhat of a lack in the academic
phase of college, but to the co ntrary, Zeta Phi improved its scholarship average by three tenths of
a po int over the previous semester's average, with
a 1.568, placing the fratern ity, schola tically in
the upper third of the coll ege.
All in all everyone will agree that this ha been
a very successful year for Zeta Phi, and promises
to co ntinu e in years to come, with the pledging of
seventeen freshmen and fiv e so phomores this spring.
I being one of the twenty-fiv e seniors graduating,
have co mpletely enjoyed my association with Alpha
Chi Rho and plan to co ntinue thi s rela-tionship,
r eturning as often as possible to Zeta Phi, and I
am sure the other twenty -four men graduating feel
as I do.

WE HERE AT GETTYSBURG are glad to see that
spring is finally here. So far it has been most
fruitful and exciting. On March 14, for example,
we increased our brotherhood by fiv e when we
initiated the following men: Walker T. Brown, '62,
Manhasset, New York; Richard B. Fine, '62, Forest
Hills, New York; Harold C. Johnson, '62, Schenec·
tady,
ew York; J erry Lillich, '62, Abbottstown,
Pa.; John H . Wilkerson, '62, Harrisburg, Pa.
The initiation was the climax of a very hectic
I.F.C. weekend and for that matter a very busy
week. During the afternoons the pledges were
busy at the Hoffman orphanage, a few miles out·
side town, doing their share in the I.F.C.·sponsored
Help Week. Every year the I.F.C. decides on a
site which would be a worthwhile work project for
the pledges of Gettysburg's thirteen national fra·
ternities. In the evenings there were intensive song
practices whi ch paid off Friday night at the I.F.C.
sing where the "Crows" turned in an excellent
rendition of "Men of Harlech." Preceding the
sing, in which all six of G-Burg's national sororities
also participated, discussions were held in each
frat ernity house regarding the various aspects of a
fraternity man's responsibility to his college and
fraternity. Many of the sessions were quite inter·
esting and gave us an opportunity to see how men
of other fraternities view certain problems which
face us all.
We expect, of course, that everyone knows of
President Eisenhower's speech here at spring con·
voca~ion on April 4. His presence was greatly ap·
prec1ated by all of u since many visitors and
alumni were attracted to our campus.
In the mid t of all this exci tement and confus·
ion Brother Dick Krebs sneaked off to his home in
Baltimore, where he was engaged to Miss Barbara
Upperco of the same city. He tells me that they
won't get hitched for a few years yet, but we
figure he can only hold out for another year. Dick
along with our other pinned brothers, Ed P eppler
and Barry Wenz, were tossed in the T iber recently.
This is a mighty tributary about a foot deep which
surges through campus. Seriously, our best wishes
and congratulations go to this trio.
Now that elections are over everyone here at
Eta Phi is acting normal again. As we are still a
young group it is vital that we have capable lead·
ership. We are confiden t that the men we have
elected will live up to the responsibility. They are
as follows:
President- Ronald Nitzsche, '60, Trenton, New
J ersey
Vice President- Fred Reisz, '61, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Ritualist-Pledge Master-Boyd Pfeiffer, '60,
Baltimore, Md.
Chaplain-Paul Spring, '60, Wheeling, West Vir·
ginia
ergeant·at-Arms-John Wilkerson, '62, Harris·

Treasurer- Harold Johnson, '62, Schenectady,
N.Y.
Chapter Correspondent-Roland P erez, '61,
ew

Member at large-Boyd Pfeiffer, '60, Baltimore,

At this point the Gettysburg College social season is just beginning to swing into full gear. On
April 18 the Army and Air Force R.O.T.C. will
sponsor the Military Ball, a big event for all of
us here. There is a two week break which our
seniors need in order to prepare for thei r comprehensive exa minations, and then the college as a
whol e honors the mothers of the stud ents on
Mother's Weekend, May 2. Again another two
weeks breathing spell and Spring Housepar ti es.
This year the festivities will include a formal dance
Friday night follow ed on Saturday by a picnic,
marshmallow roast, and dancing in the late evening.
We are all looking forward to these and other
events which make up our college life here at
Gettysburg. We wish our seniors th e best of luck
when they go out into the "cold, cruel world."
They have served us well through some of the
more difficult years of our existence as a local
fraternity and now as a national.
.
We are also proud and happy that th e men of
Iota Phi chapter at Parsons College will soon be
part of our brotherhood.
