1950 CONVENTION SITEThe Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, IllinoisThe 48th General Gonventionand the World Today•^ As this September issue of THE SCROLL comes off the presses. PhiDelta Theta moves into action in its 48th General Convention.Issues which are vital within the Fraternity—and in the entire fraternityworld—must be probed and solved. In addition, 4> A 0 mustagain be ready to meet the challenge that another war will bring.Finding the right solution to our problems of policy plus the possiblenecessity for setting up Fraternity machinery for war-time operationsmay well stamp this Convention as one of the most important in ourhistory.For the second time in the last decade the Convention is being heldat the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. The situation is reminiscentof the last meetings in this place—in 1942—when * A © successfullymet the challenge created by a world at war.General officers and alumni and undergraduate delegates face newas well as similar problems today. It is to be hoped that these problemswill be met with courage, wisdom, and foresight. They will beif our representatives "work together in the spirit of Fraternity" andin accordance with "the teachings of the Bond."The November issue of THE SCROLL will report the Conventionnarratively and at a later date the complete Convention Proceedingswill be made available to Phis who request copies in advance. Wehope the demand for the Proceedings will be greater than ever.—H.S.B.

It has been placedin the most advantageous position in thehouse where light may shine upon it untilits companion greeting of the year2050 finds itself alongside.While the men were enjoying the banquet,the ladies of $ A 0, under the directionof our lovely and gracious housemother,Mrs. Eleanor Hayes Tucker,were entertained at the famous OldCrow Inn which has been catering tovisitors since 1776.

Dr. John Rice Cowan, '90,received a silver goblet and a certificateconferring upon him the title of Alpha-Delta's "Phoremost Phi."Saturday evening the alumni had theopportunity of witnessing the initiationof six new brothers who, we are certain,assure Alplia-Della a fine beginning inits second century. They are D. L. Huston,Bloomfield, whose father, and nowbrother, D. L. Huston, Sr., '14, presentedhim with his pin; Edward Hayes andHoward Bright, Shelbyville; WilliamRabe, Akron, Ohio; Jack Russell, Washington,D.C., and Thomas Tyson, London,Ohio,Gayle Threlkeld, '51, presented thechapter with a history of the "First HundredYears of Kentucky Alpha-Delta,"on which he had laboriously workedsince September. All who have read thisbooklet believe it to be one of the bestpresentations of its kind, and the chapterhopes that when Brother Threlkeldleaves in 1951 other able historians willbe found to maintain this glorious historyin the second century.The Alpha-Delta Centennial is believedto be the largest undertaking ofits kind in the *A0 world completelyplanned by undergraduates. Every singlemember of the chapter performed hisassigned tasks to make the celebration asuccess. To John Huff fell the job ofheading the Decorations Committee.Edgar Ernst was editor of the Newsletter,with Ed Penna and Ed Mercer incharge of publicity.Edward Mcintosh was in charge of theBall and Guy Richardson arranged thebanquet. Val House arranged the programs,assisted ably by Frank Hower.Jerry Flowers was in charge of producingthe funds for the entire Centennial andPast Presidents Sam Denny, RobertRansdell, and James Hughes helpedsteer the Central Committee. •William Crawford had the large taskof making the reservations for alumniduring the time of Centre's largest Commencementand Danville's greatest cattlesale. Dan Stewart was in charge of photographyand was the co-chairman withBrother Mcintosh in securing the bandfor the Ball. K. B. Daniel, with hislovely mother doing much of the labor,helped secure the food for the buffetdinner, while Al Moffett, Bill Rabe, EdMercer, and Phikeias Charles Hill andBob Malloy turned out reams of lettersand bulletins. To mention all the helpgiven by the chapter would be to citethe chapter roster, but Alpha-Delta hasshown what the undergraduate can producewhen he seriously tackles the job.Kentucky Alpha-Delta has beenlaunched in fine form on its secondhundred years, and with the help of menwho believe in the power of Friendship,Learning, and Rectitude it cannot fail.Another Phi All-Star Captain—Doak WalkerDoak Walker, *Ae's fleet All-American and All-Phi back from S.M.U., was honoredby his All-Star teammates on August 9 when he was named captain of the squad's offensiveunit for the game with the Philadelphia Eagles, August" 11.

PAUL VAN OSDOL, JR., Missouri '36 JOHN W. OLIVER, Missouri '34Phis Aid Kansas Gity Drive on GrimeVAN OSDOL, OLIVER—EX MO. A ROOMMATES—CALLED TOELECTION ROARD; WILSON HEADS CRIME COMMISSIONBy ED CLAYCOMB, IllinoisTWO PHIS who are firm friends andwho once were roommates when theywere attending the University of Missouriwere named as new members of theKansas City Election Board on May 22,by Governor Forrest Smith of Missouri,in a move to finish reorganizing theBoard staff and to clear out the remnantsof the late Gangster Binaggio's influence.They are John W. Oliver, Missouri '34,who becomes chairman of the Board, andPaul Van Osdol, Jr., Missouri '36, whoassumes the office of secretary.The appointment of Oliver, a Democrat,and Van Osdol, a Republican, byGovernor Smith climaxed weeks ofspeculation over personnel changes onthe Board and followed by about threeweeks changes in the Kansas City PoliceBoard when the Governor appointed all'15, Mu Province President[7]new members. Their appointment wasannounced immediately after the governorhad accepted the resignations ofthe former chairman and secretary. Theterms of Oliver and Van Osdol will runto Julys, 1953.Both of the young men—Oliver is 35and Van Osdol is 34—are lawyers andboth have similar backgrounds in thatthey are descended from families withdeep roots in rural Missouri, whosemembers have been known for publicservice for three generations. They metat the University of Missouri where eachserved as president of the student bodywhile in law school, Oliver in 1935-36and Van Osdol in 1937-38. Earlier theyhad roomed together at the home ofMissouri Alpha of *A0.Brothers Van Osdol and Oliver were

Bothwere very active as undergraduates, holdingoffice in a number of campus organizations,including $ A 0 and $ A *, legalfraternity. Both are members of Blue Keyand Van Osdol also holds membership inOAK, while Oliver is a member of theOrder of the Coif. The latter also was amember of Mystical Seven and served onthe staff of the Missouri Law Review.Van Osdol served terms as vice-presidentand president of the Panhellenic Counciland was also a member of the UniversitySymphony Orchestra.John W. Oliver, who was born December17, 1914, is the son of a Phi father,Robert D. Oliver, Jr., Missouri '01, CapeGirardeau (Mo.) lawyer who was widelyknown for his work in stiffening thestandards of the State Bar ExaminingBoard. He also has a Phi brother. CircuitJudge Robert B. Oliver, III, Missouri'35, who during the week precedinghis brother's appointment to theElection Board, called three grand juriesto investigate reports of gambling in theBootheel area, as the southwest cornerof Missouri is known.Brother Oliver moved to Kansas Cityafter passing the bar examination in 1936and became an associate in the law firmof McCune, Caldwell and Downing, nowknown as Caldwell, Downing, Noble 8cGarrity. He became a partner in 1940,the year he married Miss Gertrude Field,a Kansas University Pi Phi. They havethree children, John, 9; Gertrude, 7;and Jane, 4. He is extremely active incivic affairs, serving on a large number ofboards and committees, and in state andlocal politics as an independent Democratopposing machine rule.Brother Van Osdol's home is in Brookfield,Missouri, where he was born August16, 1915. He is the son of Paul VanOsdol, a commissioner of the MissouriSupreme Court. It is interesting to notethat Brothers Van Osdol and Oliveroften visited in each other's homes andwhen the former was married in November,1942, to Evelyn Foreman, anotherPi Phi from the University of Missouri,Oliver served as best man. The VanOsdols have two children, Paul, III, age3; and Lyn, aged 6.Van Osdol completed his law studiesin 1938 and went to Kansas City to workin the offices of the firm of Watson, Ess,Groner, Barnett and Whittaker. He leftearly in 1941 to enter the army air forcesand served two and one-half years in theAleutions with the 11th bomber command,and later with the 3rd fighter commandin Florida. He entered the serviceas a first lieutenant and was honorablydischarged as a lieutenant colonel in October,1945, at which time he began practicinglaw by himself. He now has officesin the Walltower Building.According to the Kansas City Times,Brother Van Osdol has been less activepolitically than Brother Oliver, and haschanneled his efforts in professional andcivic organizations.Both have been very active in state andnational law associations and both aremembers of the Kansas City AlumniClub of * A 0.New Kansas City Crime Commissioner Also A PhiA story which goes hand in hand withthe appointment of Brothers Van Osdoland Oliver to the Kansas City ElectionBoard is one which tells of the electionof G. Arlon Wilson, Washburn '37, asmanaging director of the Kansas CityCrime Commission. He assumed hisoffice in March.A former F.B.I, man, Brother Wilsonwas president of the Snow Crop FrozenFoods Distributing Company at the time_of his selection to the Crime Commissionjob. He took on the assignment ata considerable financial sacrifice with thestatement, "If I didn't think that theCommission could do a really worth

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for September, 1950while and effective job, I wouldn'tbother."The Kansas City Crime Commissionwas established about a year and a halfago and was patterned after a similarorganization that had been in existencein Chicago for more than thirty years.Today the Kansas City Commission iscomposed of a carefully screened Jaodyof 100 citizens representing a true crosssection of the city's life. All were admittedto the organization on a basis oftheir genuine concern over the post warresurgence of organized crime.As explained in Town, Kansas Citypublication from which most of the factsof Wilson's appointment were taken, theCrime Commission is not a judicial,prosecuting, or apprehending body. Itwas established to cooperate with city,county and state authorities with nothought of beating them at their business.Rather the Commission will act tocontrol the spread of organized crimeand to act as a deterent.Arlon Wilson attended grade and highschools in Quenemo, Kansas, where hisfather is a successful stock man. He wentto Washburn University, where he madea most successful record. It was at Washburnthat he formulated his desire tobecome an F.B.I, agent. While schedulinga series of speeches for Kansas Beta chapterof * A 0 and the Washburn LawSchool, he went to Kansas City and invitedthe head of the F.B.I, office thereto appear on the program. This gentlemanwas later instrumental in gettingBrother Wilson an appointment to theBureau. He went to Washington whereG. ARLON WILSON, Washburn 37he married Elizabeth Short, a graduateof Kansas University. From 1940 to themiddle of 1946 he served with the Bureau'scriminal investigation unit. At thistime he went into partnership with anotheralumnus of the F.B.I, in the frozenfoods distributing business. He is nowon leave of absence from his company.Brother Wilson and his wife live at437 Huntington Road with their threechildren. Jay, 8; Martha, 3; and Nan,six months. He is prematurely grayhaired and appears at first glance to beolder than his thirty-three years, thoughthe gray hair is not a result of being shotat while a member of the F.B.I., he explains.For relaxation he enjoys fishingand hunting and gun collecting.Grantland Rice Honored by Helms Hall of FameGRANTLAND RICE, Vanderbilt '01, illustrious sports journalist, was named to the HelmsHall of Fame recently along with Knute Rockne, famed Notre Dame football coach untilhis untimely death in an airplane crash in 1931.Brother Rice and Rockne were selected for the honor by the Helms Hall Board,according to Bill Schroeder, managing director of the Helms Athletic Foundation.The Hall of Fame now includes twelve men and Rice is the second Phi to be sohonored, the other being the late DWIGHT DAVIS, Washington (St. Louis) '99, donor oftennis' Davis Cup.

Fowler Heads American Bar AssociationCODY FOWLER, Missouri '15Nation's Number One Legal EagleBy JAMES R. ALEXANDER, Duke '46TALL, easy-going Cody Fowler, Missouri'15, is the new president of theAmerican Bar Association. An enthusiasticand prominent Phi since his initiationalmost forty years ago, the whitehaired attorney from Tampa, Florida,on September 18 succeeded Harold J.Gallagher as chief of 43,000 lawyers inthe United States. Brother Fowler is thesecond Phi to head the A.B.A. in the lastthree years as Retiring President Gallagher'spredecessor was Frank E. Holman,Utah '08. [See SCROLL, March, 1949,page 270.]Cody Fowler was referred to us as excellentSCROLL material with the notationthat he used to be quite a Phi-guy,that he was a homespun, friendly, forcefulperson, as compact a combination ashis Missouri Alpha mates could haveinitiated in 1912. If any of his chapterbuddies are listening, please accept ouropinion; he hasn't changed a bit.Brother Fowler is just another verysuccessful Phi who refuses to act like anational celebrity even when the titleof his office indicates that he is one. He'sregular, men, and that's the scoop.It took much small talk over a twohour luncheon at Jimniy Moran's famedrestaurant in New Orleans' Vieux Carreto break down the iron curtain of modesty.And even then, it was unintentionalwhen Cody Fowler faffed to keep "hisstory" from these pages. The new presidentof the American Bar Association isa master of evasion when questions infringebeyond the "fact" category.A native of Arlington, Tennessee—hewas born Dec. 8, 1892—Cody Fowlerdidn't always expect to be a barrister.But by the time he had left Cumberland(Tennessee) University, he had an LL.B.behind his name. Preceding concentratedlaw school study he attended the Universityof Missouri for one year. It wasthen that he became a member of $ A 0.Activities of the first World Warclaimed him and he served as a Captainand Battery Comdr., 37th Field Artillery.He has been admitted to the Tiar beforeTennessee, Florida and Oklahomaauthorities.Of Scotch-Irish descent—and a truepersonification of same—Cody Fowler for58 years has been a Confederate Rebelat heart. His mother was from Tennessee,his father from Kentucky, and as heput it, "my grandpa fought for the greyfrom Alabama."[10]Brother Fowler does some fightinghimself which is noteworthy:"One of my songs is the obligation of alawyer to his country. After all, lawyersestablished the United States and lawyershave been active in all our advances," hepointed out."The obligation of a lawyer is to defendstates' rights as are given under theConstitution," he continued. BrotherFowler doesn't discuss his politics as

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for September, 1950such. However, he fearlessly says he is aDemocrat, with a disguised tone whichinfers there possibly is no other party.The president-elect of the A.B.A. hadthis to say about one particular party:the Communists."I am not at all sure that any constructivegoal can be accomplished by outlawingthe Communists." In opposing aban of the Reds he said, "Any organizationwhich teaches the physical overthrowof the government will take themost convenient course to obtain its objective.And if going underground ismost advantageous to them, they will doso. I do not see where it would be particularlyhelpful to drive them underground."Asked if he thought some basis couldbe found in international law whichwould contribute to the end of the coldwar between Russia and the UnitedStates, he said, "You cannot establish ameeting ground unless the parties involvedare willing to meet on a basiswhich would justify mutual confidence.And no law can establish this confidence."Regarding civil liberties. BrotherFowler explained they are safe and willcontinue to be safe under the Constitutionalguarantees.Too, Cody Fowler believes that thelawyers of the nation could exert a powerfulinfluence in stemming the presenttide toward socialism. "Lawyers enjoythe confidence of the people," he said.The nation's number one legal eaglesays the American Bar Association believesthe present socialistic goings-on aredefinitely fraught with danger; that theAssociation has gone on record as beingopposed to socialized medicine.Our genial Brother Fowler, who incessantlylaughs at himself and enjoyskidding others, doesn't laugh or kidabout the national budget. "It should bebalanced as quickly as possible and thenational spending should be reduced asmuch as practical. If we continue thisdeficit spending, sooner or later there'sbound to be a day of reckoning."Cody Fowler has been active in theA.B.A. for fifteen years. His election aspresident this month will finally removehim from daily practice as senior partnerof the law firm of Fowler, White, Gillen,Yancey and Humkey, located in CitizensBldg., Tampa, and Biscayne Bldg.,Miami. He'd "rather be a lawyer thanwork" but from all indications he'll dolots of work this coming year, especiallymaking banquet speeches all over thecountry."Oh, I look forward to lots of travel,"he said, sampling another plate of Louisianashrimp, "But when you realize thatit is only 31/2 hours by air from Tampato Chicago, you can see the banquetcircuit won't take up much time." Whilebeing interviewed, he studied his officialschedule, noticed an address slated inNorth Dakota in early September, andpromptly offered, "Good, I can be onhand for the Phi Delt convention inChicago!"Coincidentally, the A.B.A. nationalheadquarters are in Chicago. The Associationis made up of seventeen sections,with twenty-two standing committeesand twenty-five special committees, "withmany programs and problems."Cody Fowler's interest in *A0 isn'tanything new. He has been extremelyactive in organizing alumni in variouscities and always attends meetings. Hehelped to install Phi chapters at Floridaand Oklahoma. "I reckon the older menlike to remain active that way," he said.He's been right active in other fields,too. A master of admiralty law, he hasserved as national vice-president of thePropeller Club of the U.S. He was postcommander of the American Legion inOklahoma City and is president of thePropeller Club, Port of Tampa. Othercivic affiliations include Rotary Clubmembership and worker in the Poliochapter of Tampa. Professionally, he'spresident of the Hillsboro County BarAssn. He is a member of St. Andrew'sEpiscopal Church in Tampa.In college. Brother Fowler used his six(Continued on page 27)

Charlie Berry, TopOfficial in BothFootball, BaseballByHAYWARD S. BIGGERSLawrence'31, Editor*SOME YEARS AGO a fan was sympathizingwith a major league umpireof long standing on the difficult jobhe held, pointing out that he was subjectdaily to the howls of criticism from bothfans and players. The old ump agreedthat it was tough but averred that insome ways it wasn't such a bad job atthat. "After all, you can't beat thehours," he said.One might believe that Charlie Berry,Lafayette '25, read this statement, mulledit over for a while, and then took itseriously enough to adopt officiating intwo major American sports as his careerafter his playing days were over. Foreleven years Charlie has been on thestaff of officials of the National ProfessionalFootball League, and he is in histenth year as an umpire, eight of whichwere spent in the American League. Inserving both football and baseball in thetop brackets of the two sports. Berry isunique among American sports officials.It is putting it mildly to state thatBrother Berry prepared well for the interestingcareer that has become his lifework. As a young man he was one of thenation's finest athletes. After three yearsof football at Phillipsburg (N.J.) highschool, where he was named All-Stateend, Charlie entered Lafayette College.He held down a varsity end berth forthree years, built up a terrific reputa-" Most of the facts contained in this story weresupplied by Earl J.

It was the last All-America eleven to be named by Mr.Camp.As an undergraduate. Berry was bestknown for his football talents, but healso played a lot of baseball—as a catcher—for Lafayette, and when he was graduatedin 1925, scouts from the majorleagues of both football and baseballwere camped on his doorstep. He signedwith the Pottsville (Pa.)

Here hiscareer was slowed down by a brokenwrist. In 1927 he served with Dallas inthe Texas League, but returned to theMajors the next year when he was traded[•3]

Berry performedregularly behind the bat for Boston forfour seasons, and in May, 1932, wastraded to the White Sox in a dealwhich sent Smead Jolley, Benny Tate,and John Watwood to Beantown. Aftertwo seasons in Chicago, he returned toMr. Mack's A's in a trade for GeorgeEarnshaw. He remained as an activeplayer on the Philadelphia rosterthrough the seasons of 1934, '35, and '36,after which he served as the Athletics'pitching coach for three years. Duringthe season of 1940 Berry served as managerof the Wilmington (Pa.) baseballclub, an Athletic farm.He had not been inactive in footballduring these years following his retirementas a player either. For five yearshe was head coach at Grove City College,Grove City, Pennsylvania, winning theTri-Conference title three times. He resignedfrom coaching in June, 1932, however,and confined his activities to thescouting field until 1939 when he joinedthe officiating staff of the NationalLeague. He has continued in that capacityever since and is regarded as oneof the nation's top football officials.Charlie took up umpiring in theSpring of 1941 in the InternationalLeague. His work was so well liked thathis contract was sold to the AmericanLeague at the end of the 1942 season andhe has been in that organization eversince.Brother Berry says that he has umpiredmore than two thousand big league baseballgames and more than three hundredfootball games. On the gridiron Charliehas been an official in eight World'sChampionship games. In fact, in 1946 hewas a World's Series baseball umpireand in the same year a head linesmanin World's Series football—a record sofar as anyone knows. Last August he alsoworked that Eagles-All Star game inSoldiers Field after receiving permissionfrom Will Harridge, American LeaguePresident, to absent himself from hisumpiring duties at Comiskey Park thatnight.Asked to name the greatest footballplayer he has ever seen. Berry hedged,but cited Pete Henry of Washington &Jefferson as the toughest man he everplayed against. It was easier in baseball.Without reservation he named his choicefor the three greatest pitchers, all ofwhom he caught, as Ted Lyons, CharlieRuffing, and Lefty Grove.Charlie Berry was initiated into * A 0,February 17, 1922, as No. 380 on theBond Roll of Pennsylvania Alpha chapter.As an undergraduate he was morethan a great athlete. He was active in allbranches of college and fraternity lifeand held down a number of offices on thecampus and in the chapter. As a Senior,he was president of his class.Berry was married in 1926 in Portland,Oregon, to the former Helen Smith, aschoolmate at Phillipsburg. They havethree daughters—Helen Francis, 21;Charle, 12; and Lynn, 10. His permanenthome remains in Phillipsburg, where hewas born October 18, 1902.All Phis, and especially those whowatch the great American sports scenemay well be proud of the outstandingcontributions that have been made byCharlie Berry, a grand fellow who revelsin officiating!Famed Town Hall ClubHas Phi Prexy(Continued from page 12)York City University of ColoradoAlumni Association.As president of famed Town HallClub, Brother Mathew probably will notbe called upon to defend the Club inany way but, should such a need confront"him, he can always muster confidencefrom an experience he had duringhis freshman year in college when, inthe absence of the class president, Steere,as vice-president had to face the presidentof the University and explain anunofficial Freshman-Sophomore fightwhile tactfully trying to hide a give-awaybruise on his face.

The coal makes avertical drop of 750 feet in the half mileof easy riding down the mountainside tothe railroad.Until L. M.

Snow at theoperation usually exceeds 150 incheseach winter and temperatures drop aslow as 40 degrees below zero. The mineat 8,000 feet is only 20 miles from thecrest of the Continental divide.But "Deac" Cooley, a graduate of engineeringschool as well as the school ofhard knocks, went to work on the problem.The conveyor system was the resultand it greatly reduces the transportationcost and adds to the efficiency of the operationso necessary in the troubloustimes that have struck the coal industry.The conveyor system is in three sectionsand the coal is eased down a 29 percentgrade to reach the tipple where it isloaded for shipment.At the open pit a huge walking draglineremoves the cover from the coalwhich is from six to 15 feet in thickness.This dragline is powered with a 2,300volt electric motor and averages 1,600five-ton buckets of cover removal a day.The coal then is loaded into trucks witha power shovel. It is not necessary to gooff the company lease to reach the hopperwhere the coal starts its easy half mileride to the preparation and loadingplant.The operation won national attentionwhen it was featured in the April issueof Coal Age, the McGraw-Hill publicationdevoted to the coal mining industry.It also drew a full page in the "RockyMountain Empire Magazine," a supplementof The Denver Post.Deac Cooley was born Oct. 23, 1905,at Scottsburg, Indiana, and attendedgrade and preparatory school at Indianapolis.He entered the school of civilengineering at Purdue University in1923 and was graduated in June 1928.He spent an interim year with the GeorgiaState Highway departrnent as a highwayengineer.At Purdue he was a member of S A X,professional journalistic fraternity, as aresult of his activity with college publications.In $A0 he held offices each yearvarying to that of president of Thetachapter as a Senior.During the summer months betweenschool years he worked as engineer onvarious projects. Upon graduation, hebecame field service engineer with the

He remained with the companyuntil 1933, when he became presidentof the Forrest Gravel Co. of Alexandria,Louisiana, a commercial aggregatesconcern furnishing materials forconstruction in central and southernLouisiana. In 1935 he went to the FortPeck dam, near Glasgow, Montana, wherehe engaged in furnishing aggregates forthe building of that structure.From 1936 until 1942 he engaged ingold placer mining in Colorado andMontana as vice president of the CooleyBrothers Gravel Co., and a partner inthe firm of Cooley Bros. Following workwith an unique open pit lead and zincmine near Joplin, Missouri, he opened acoal mine at Lehigh, Oklahoma, forCooley Bros., and in 1943 moved to Coloradoto take charge of the open pit coalmining work of the Edna Coal Co.Cecil G. Cooley, other member of thefirm of Cooley brothers, now is engagedin Open pit coal mining at Erie andWalsenburg, Colorado. He has lived inDenver since 1946 after extensive miningand dirt moving experience and iswidely known in mining circles throughoutthe country.He also graduated from Purdue witha degree in mechanical engineering. AtPurdue he was a member of Carzeuran,honorary mechanical engineering fraternity;Iron Key, honorary Purdue activitiesfraternity; TBII, national honoraryengineering fraternity, served onthe Student Council and as president ofhis class in his Senior year.

TOM HARMON, Michigan '41, AT HIS DESK, STATION KFI-TV, LOS ANGELES". . . hottest thing in the Western sports telecasting field."TV Opens Up New Gareer for HarmonBy HAYWARD S. BIGGERS, LawrenceTHE name of Tom Harmon {Michigan'41) has been a magic one inTHE SCROLL for a little more than a decadenow—ever since, as Old 98, he wasburning up the gridiron for the Universityof Michigan—a two-time All-American.The war followed soon after hiscollegiate football career closed and onceagain he was hot copy as he survivedtwo plane crashes, one over the junglesof South America and one behind theJap lines in China. After the war heturned to professional football with theLos Angeles Rams and showed that hehad lost none of his old skill.Now the former Wolverine Wonderhas turned to talking for a living, viavideo, and—you guessed it—Tom Harmonis the hottest thing in the Westernsports telecasting field! •Although his interest in radio datesback several years, Tom actually began* With the help of Mr. Ronnie Manders of StationKFI and KFI-TV. Loa Angeles.'31, Editor"*his TV work during the football seasonof 1948, following his retirement fromthe pro grid, when he telecast the gamesof his old team, the Los Angeles Rams.Since that time he has really branchedout, having been chosen to telecast theU.S.C. and U.C.L.A. football games lastseason, and the U.C.L.A. basketballgames. Shortly after the basketball seasonended Tom began telecasting the LosAngeles Angels' baseball games, and he'sstill at it at this writing.With all this remote work away fromthe studio, Tom has also been seen fiveand six nights a week on KFI-TV (LosAngeles, Channel 9), summarizing newsof theathletic world for televiewers.His versatility extends beyond thesports scene, however, and one of hismost popular shows is one in which he isseen and enjoyed with his attractive actresswife—Elyse Knox—on Sunday eveningson KTTV. Let Tom himselfdescribe the show, as he did in a recentletter: "It is called 'At Home with the[•8]

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for September, 1950 •9Harmons,' and is a little game showwhere we invite top personalities fromthe movies, sports world, radio, etc., tocome over and play parlor games. Wehave had quite a bit of success with itbecause all who watch it feel that theyare a part of it. Also, the television audiencelikes the program because it hasno rehearsal and comes over just as ithappens."Tom and Elyse met when he was inLos Angeles to appear on the BingCrosby show 'way back in 1940. Themeeting blossomed into a romancewhich stretched out because of Tom'sfive years in the service. They were marriedAugust 26, 1944, in the chapel ofthe University of Michigan.As a baseball telecaster, a job whichtakes a great deal of his time during thesummer months, Harmon has gone in abig way for the popular policy of familiarizingthe video fans at home withthe ball players and with the fine pointsof the game. The latter is accomplishedthrough demonstrations by the playersthemselves. To bring the athletes closerto tlie fans, Tom telecasts a 10-minute"Dugout Dope" program prior to eachgame, featuring interviews with players"DUGOUT DOPE" TELECASFTom Harmon interviews Stan Spence (left) outfielder,and Elbie Fletcher, first baseman of LosAngeles Angels, in pre-game video show.and managers from all the teams in thePacific Coast League.Tom is still the same modest, unassumingpersonality that he was as a popularmember of Michigan Alpha of *A©while playing the difficult role of a nationalsports celebrity. And the wordfrom the Coast is this: Keep an eye onHarmon . . . he's just starting a career,in a manner of speaking, that will makehim a new international personalitythrough radio and television!A Key Block His Greatest Thrill in FootballWhile in Salt Lake City last February Tom and Elyse Harmon visited the Utah Alphahouse and had lunch with the chapter. While there they were interviewed by reportersfrom the Daily Utah Chronicle and one of the stories which came out was Tom's greatestthrill in football. It is typical o£ the man who made so many spectacular long touchdownruns that his greatest thrill came from a key block which he threw, enabling a teammateto get away 70 yards to pay dirt.The situation came about when Paul Cromar came to Michigan as a great prospect. He playedJor the varsity in his sophomore year but was injured and had to forget about football his secondseason. He became bitter because of the bad break, but played on the team in his senior year,though the injury had prevented him from attaining the greatness of which he had dreamed. In1940 Michigan played Ohio State in Ohio and Cromar was an Ohio boy. Playing back with Harmonin safety position was Cromar and on a kick he took the ball and Harmon took out the twoopposing ends with one block. This enabled Cromar to go all the way for a touchdown in frontof the home folks and changed his whole attitude toward life.Incidentally, Tom writes that he and Elyse enjoyed their visit with his Utah Alphabrothers very much, and that he hopes before very long to "get her back to meet theboys at Michigan Alpha."

The Wisterts o£Michigan Alpha—AU-Americans AllALBERTThe Sergeant Would Have Been ProudBy SHIRLEY POVICH, Washington Post ColumnistThis story was written by Mr. Povichfor his column in the Washington Postprior to the playing of the AH-Star game.It is reprinted with his permission.THE pity is that Chicago Police Sergt.Kazimir Wistert was killed in lineof duty 25 years ago, when he walkedinto a hold-up man's bullet, else on thenight of August 11, he would have qualifiedas the father of the year.That's the night when two of the sergeant'sboys, Albert and Alvin will befacing off against each other in the annualpro-league champions-college allstarsfootball game at Soldiers Field.The late sergeant will have one of hisboys on each team, playing tackle. Albert,the all-pro league star of the Eagles,will be looking across the scrimmage lineat Alvin, the latest of Michigan's All-American tackles and captain of lastyear's varsity.There was another Wistert boy, too.His name was Francis, the oldest, and healso did very well. Like Albert and Alvinhe was an All-American tackle at Michigan,the first of the three brothers toMwear No. 11. He made the big leagues,too, for a spell, pitching for the Reds,and is remembered mostly for losing a1-0 game to the Cubs.Albert was a tow-headed lad of four,Alvin was a big boy of nine in that sadyear when their daddy got it. The paradoxis, though that kid brother Albertwent through Michigan and was alreadyan established star with the Eagles beforeAlvin, five years older, made hisfirst letter at Michigan.It's Alvin who has the more romanticstory. He didn't get to college until hewas nearly 30. He was in the Marines forfive years, helping to finance Albert'sway through school. With the end ofthe war, he went to college at the age of29, put in one year at Boston Universitybefore transferring to Michigan underthe G.I. Bill.Alvin's 34 now, certainly the oldestcollege football player in the Nationlast year. When he went out for the teamat Michigan, he had been out of highschool for thirteen years, hadn't playedfootball in that span. But he had going(Continued on page 2y)

A Corner With Phi AuthorsIN this nervous andsubjective society oftoday. Brother Sockman'slatest book is sodeeply real, so earnestlyBy THOMAS H. FASSETT, Ohio Wesleyan-Miami '46The HigherBy RALPH W. SOCKMANOhio Wesleyan '11Abingdon-CokesburyNashville, 1950, $2.00fundamental, and sovitally necessary, that tostudy it brings a distinct shock to thereader.The book, a brilliant interpretationof the beatitudes of Christ, is the antithesisof the stereotyped prattlings ofdoom-mongers and the sophisticated stutteringsof psychiatrists."Security" is the touchstone o£ today.But the emphasis is purely social, or material.Man seeks social security so ferventlythat he tends to disregard or forgetsoul security.The Higher Happiness, appearing atthe time it has, brings into focus thatfact that Dr. Sockman has keen insightinto mankind and its problems. Only astrong and sincerely honest man wouldpublish a dissertation of this kind atthis time.Right smack dab in the opening chapter,Sockman puts his finger on the pulseof civilization and offers this: "If we areto enter into the secret of higher happiness,. . . the first step is to change theseat of sovereignty from self to God." Aswe resist collectivism, we are wont tomake too much of the individual, thusdiminishing his need of a God; and thosepropounding the all-mighty State darenot speak of the higher power of God.The book describes and discusses eachbeatitude in detail from the first,"Blessed are the poor in spirit," to thelast, "Blessed are they which are persecutedfor righteousness' sake." It is impossiblefor this review to give anyappreciable hint to the magnitude ofthought-provoking sentences whichabound under the covers of The Higher[26]Happiness Happiness. The book,akin to Dr. Sockman'ssermons, is not evangelicalin its approach, noris it couched in turgidprose. Rather, it is aclean, clear discussion ofwhat each beatitude shciuld mean to thereader.The wise reader of this book will takea period of weeks, even months to completethe study of the book. He will wantto evaluate each chapter according tohis mind, to discuss himself in-the lightof the newly-discovered thoughts producedby Sockman. And it bears constantre-reading! It is a good book forthe frayed mind.There are two minor faults found inthe book. It is written too much in theillustrative style. Sockman brings in toomany examples to illustrate his points,and rather than clarifying or ratifyingthoughts, overburdens them.DR. RALPH W. SOCKMAN, Ohio Wesleyan '11

•The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for September, 1950 37The second fault, again a minor one,is the omission of summaries at the endof the chapters, and indeed, at the endof the book. The book would have beenmuch improved by the addition of suchsummaries.However, Brother Sockman has writtena book to be read by every man; and certainlyevery Phi will discover special importin it.Fowler Heads AmericanBar Association(Continued from page lo)feet two inches "dabbling" in footballand boxing. Now he prefers and veryoften plays tennis. "I play every chanceI get." Speaking of college, he recallsthat he majored in sororities, but when, "settling down" time came, he chose alovely product from the Baldwin School,Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.Mr. and Mrs. Fowler have three daughters—andthis quintet has much in common.Daughter Maude is named afterher mother, and daughter Cody is namedafter her famous father. As for Betty,well, Betty is the oldest daughter and bythat seniority received a name of herown. All three girls are members ofA A n, and all three are Blue Devilminded.Maude and Betty have graduatedfrom Duke University, and Cody isstill on the East Campus in Durham.As Brother Fowler said, the lawyersin this country enjoy the confidence ofthe people. Be certain of this: CodyFowler enjoys the confidence and admirationof $ A ®.This Coal Works a Double Shift(Continued from page ly)and coal preparation plant was completedat the same time as the new conveyor.It has a capacity of 750 tons anhour.The company started its operations in1947 and is owned by four general andequal partners. They are L. M. Cooley,managing partner; his brother, C. G.Cooley, who also is president of the ErieCoal Co. and the Park Coal Co., operatingmines at Erie and Walsenburg,Colorado; N. A. Swenson, president ofthe Nugget Coal Co. of Hanna, Wyoming,and V. B. Smith, president of theLakeside Construction Co. of Denver.The coal is marketed by the ColoradoFuel & Iron" Corporation under the tradename of Oak Hills Edna. It has a widemarket in eastern Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,and parts of Wyoming, Iowa, andthe Dakotas.The Sergeant Would HaveBeen Proud(Continued from page 20)for him all the zeal of a college freshmanand that rugged, 6-3, aas-pound frameof all the Wisterts.At his age, Alvin isn't going into profootball, so his last fling at the gamewill be on the night of August 11, whenhe'll be looking his kid brother in theeye—the one he helped through school,and who now is in his eighth season withthe Eagles. Albert's captain of the pros,too. He was one of the Eagles who beatthe Collegians, 35-0, last year.The coach of that College All-Starteam in 1949 was Bud Wilkinson, famedas the head coach of Oklahoma U. todraw the picture of Alvin's age a bitfiner, he was one-year-older than HeadCoach Wilkinson and still playing collegefootball. Brother Albert played forthe College All-Stars eight years beforeAlvin could make it.With Michigan last season, Alvinplayed almost every minute on defense.The fact that he didn't play oflEense, wasno concession to his 34 years. Michiganwas dedicated to the platoon system ofoffensive and defensive units which hasdoomed the 6o-minute player. OtherwiseAlvin would have been a 60-minute man,his coach says.

Excerpt from the excellent ConventionBanquet address by JAMES J, NANCE, OhioWesleyan *2^. In his talk, entitled "Rightsand Responsibilities in a Democracy/'Brother Nance referred to FREEDOM OFCHOICE BY THE INDIVIDUAL OS the cssence ofdemocracy. The speech will be publishedin full in Convention Proceedings.—"Eo.BROTHER NANCE IS PRESIUENTOF HOTPOINT, INC.Freedom of Choice in Fraternity. . . The fraternity life you and I have been privileged to enjoycan and does make an important contribution to the preparationhigher education gives for democratic leadership. Our Fraternityand any other worthy of the description, is a highly democratic institution.In our association, we learn that freedom of choice includesas one of its most essential elements the individual's freedom to differ.Young men joined together by the bonds of fraternity come to understandin their college days the necessity for give and take, whichleads to a better understanding of larger issues in later life.We have often heard expressed the idea that a small number ofmen control the world's economy; likewise, we have heard it saidthat a small number of men control the world's thinking. There isconsiderably more evidence that the latter statement is true than theformer. Throughout the ages of history and in each generation therehave been a small number of men who have been the thought leadersof their times. I am not speaking of the occasional genius, but ratherof the man who by his precept and example comes to influence thoseabout him. Such men may be found in every hamlet, village, town,and city and in occupations so diverse as teaching, the ministry, andcommerce and industry. The men of Phi Delta Theta have beenprominent among the thought leaders of the past; each issue of THESCROLL depicts leaders of the present . . . and I am confident theywill be in the future. I am also confident they will be found livingand advocating the American doctrine of freedom of choice to thoseabout them.The Fraternity itself should not and cannot assert the leadershipof which I am speaking. This is a matter for the individual. TheFraternity can be a torch lighting the way to democratic thinkingwithin its fellowship. ...

More than five hundredPhis were registered for the meetings andincluded among these were 175 votingdelegates—officers, past presidents, undergraduates,and alumni. As always, thebalance of power was held by the activechapter men with no votes. Registrationwas further increased by twenty-two Philadies and fourteen men from petitioninggroups.Never has a *A® Convention beenconducted in a more business-like manner,as President Emmett Junge crackedthe whip over every crowded business[78]session to keep the agenda strictly onschedule. He did this, it should bepointed out, without ever choking off debateon a question. All delegates had fullopportunity to speak on all subjects.And this was a Convention streamlinedto a work schedule, with business sessionsbeing held each day from g to 5:30 andon Wednesday evening. Only Tuesdayand Thursday evenings were given overto entertainlhent features and these werethe traditional Phi P;>rolics and the ConventionBanquet.All sessions of the meeting were mademore impressive for the young Phi delegatesby the presence of Fraternity patriarchssuch as 92-year old Hilton Brown,P.G.C, 1882-86, and Dr. John EdwinBrown, P.G.C, 1902-04.

Enjoying their new surroundings areGeorge Brumfield, Will -Bailiej Rollin Foster, and Don Kott.California Delta Moves Into A MansionBy PHIKEIAS GEORGE BRUMFIELD, '52, and RAY HENDERSON, '54THE PRIZE of W. 28th St., Los Angeles,is now In the hands of CaliforniaDelta.Occupying the choicest spot on theRow—an entire block, bounded byHoover St. on the west, Portland St. onthe east, and fronting on W. 28th St.—the new home of 4>A0 at Southern Californiais one of the showplaces of theUniversity neighborhood.Considered one of the finest homes on"Bankers' Row of the early 1900's," thismansion, formerly the residence of thewealthy and socially prominent F. O.Johnson family, has for years beensought after by various S.C. fraternities' and sororities. But to no avail.Mrs. Victoria Johnson, widow of F. O.Johnson, became interested in *A0through Mrs. Walter Gastil, member ofthe California Delta Mothers' Club, and[88]finally decided that she was willing tosell. But not until she had visited thechapter and had met members of thebrothers' families.Then she turned over the property for150,000. Real estate men called thepurchase "a steal."In the main building are 6804 squarefpet of rococo elegance, so typical of theera that our grandfathers knew. Built inthe late '90's and remodeled and enlargedin 1917, the house is unique inconstruction and would probably be impossibleto replace. For instance, the costof reproducing any of the four handcarvedfireplaces would be prohibitive.The principal building is a 2i/^-storyframe and plaster, steam-heated structure.In addition, there are a garage and agarage apartment with 2254 sq. ft. of floorspace and greenhouses with 1320 sq. ft.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for November, 1950 89The residence has six rooms and twoand a half baths on the first floor, sixbedrooms and three and a half baths onthe second floor, and three rooms and abath on the third floor.The house may be entered eitherthrough a spacious main reception hallor from a circular drive off Portland St.From a covered car port, complete witha fountain and voluptuous statue (alreadynamed "House Mother"), a glassinclosedcorridor leads to the roundroom, a circular formal parlor at the rearof the reception hall.The round room, 25 feet in diameter,is two stories high and has a dome ceilingwith indirect lighting. It is distinctivefor its parquet floors and its Italian Renaissancefireplace.

A Fortune In Ice WaterReprinted from REDBOOK MAGAZINE, Courtesy of the EditorsON a hot summer day, a glass of icewater can easily be the summit ofman's desire. But who ever heard of makinga fortune out of it?Ted Hustead [Nebraska '25] and hiswife Dorothy, who run a drug store in alittle South Dakota town, have done justthat. Theirs is a genuinely Americanstory, of hard work and hard going, ofpluck, luck—and ice water.The Husteads bought their store on ashoestring, back in 1931. Ted, just out ofthe University of Nebraska school ofpharmacy, was twenty-eight; Dorothy wastwenty-four. The first of their four childrenhad already arrived.The store was in Wall, South Dakota,which had a population of 700, a bank, achurch, a doctor and a trading area of1,000 square miles.Hopes high, the Husteads moved inand went to work.They banged smack into the Big Depression.In South Dakota, things were doublytough because of the drought, and businessat the Wall Drug Store was no morethan a fitful trickle. But the Husteadshung on, did what they could to makeWALL DRUGSTORE*UI SOUTH MKOtA/720 MIIESADVERTISING GENIUSA stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, or at your hometowncrossroads, you may find this sign. It was the idea of Ted Hustead'swife, and has lured a thirsty throng to the Wall Drug Storein Wall, South Dakota, which Brother Hustead bought in 19^1.ends meet, and lived in the room behindthe store.One stifling Sunday afternoon in thesummer of 1936, Dorothy Hustead got tothinking about the tourists who motoredthrough Wall by the hundreds, bound forthe Black Hills and points west. If onlythere were some way of persuading themto stop Doi-othy had a brainstorm. Sherushed to tell Ted about it. Sounded fineto him. Next day, he had a bunch of signsmade up, and posted them out along thehighways:FREE ICE WATER, WALL DRUG STOREWALL, SOUTH DAKOTADruggists everywhere in the U.S. hadbeen giving away ice water for years, butnone had every thought of advertising thefact. To tourists, the Hustead • signs providedfirst a hearty laugh and then awelcome invitation. The combinationworked like a charm.In 1950, the Husteads are dispensing icewater at the rate of 5,000 glasses a day.During the tourist season, they havetwenty-eight employees to help: Theirsigns are all over the map, even in Europeand Greenland. People who have spottedthe signs in strange placesoften drive hundreds ofmiles out of their way tomeet the Husteads—and toget a free drink.And, of course, theHusteads sell everythingfrom postcards and sodas tojewelry and petrified wood("by the pound or ton").They even fill about 200prescriptions a day. In fact,they do such a whoppingbusiness that they're reluctantto talk about the moneythey make. "The otherdruggists," Ted Husteadsays, "would think we werebragging."

Ellis Retires After 30 Years of ServiceBACK in 1918 it was a President of theUnited States who inspired InfantryCapt. Luther E. Ellis, badly woundedin the Battle of the Argonne, to get well.Today, after thirty years of outstandingservice to his go'vemment, Luther Ellisis retired at his home in Washington,D.C, "learning to do nothing gracefully."It was a long and often difficult roadthat Brother Ellis traveled during theyears since he was struck in the chest bya German machine gun bullet. Despitetwo years in the hospital, first in Parisand later at Walter Reed, and despitesome twenty subsequent operations, hehas carried metal—how much nobodyknows—in his chest since the date of hiswounding, October, 1918. To a man oflesser courage, this handicap might havemeant a life of semi-invalidism.Luther Ellis has been anything but aninvalid, however, in the 30 years thathave passed. He entered government servicein 1920 after his discharge from thehospital and one year later got into veterans'administration work where heprogressed until he became Director ofthe Coordination Service of Veterans' Administrationin 1947, a post he held untilhis retirement last February.He had a reputation for being oneof those men who take time to helpothers. His reputation in Veterans' Administrationwas enhanced year afteryear until virtually every field office ofthe Administration felt a truly personalloss in his retirement. "President Woodrow Wilson, who hadcalled on Brother Ellis when he was veryill in the Paris hospital, was responsiblefor starting him on his long governmentcareer.

A ForestryAdviser inKOREAPIER BUILDING AT PORT OF INCHONQUITE a contrast to the hail of bullets,mortar fire and shrapnel thatmet our Marines at this now famousKorean port in September, 1950,was the greeting accorded a group oftechnical advisers from the United Statesarriving there in February, 1947. Beneaththe emblazoned "WELCOME TOINCHON—BEST DAMN PORT IN THE PACIFIC," bands played, a bustling communityextended the hand of friejidship,and eager natives unloaded luggage. I wasone of those advisers arriving in the"Land of the Morning Calni." TheUnited States Department of Army, MilitaryGovernment in Korefi, had assignedme the task, with other foresters, of buildingup a practical forestry program forthis ancient land.En route from Inchon to Seoul my firstlook at this "Switzerland of Asia," wasfrom the window of a Japanese parlorcar and a disappointing sight it was.Where, I wondered, was the Korea ofyesteryear, that historybookKorea, depictedwith beautiful mountainsand wide valleysverdant with naturalforests of pine, fir,maple, spruce, oak,larch and bamboo?That is not the Koreaof today.I was looking back4000 years^forty centuries—duringwhichman, time and the elementshad wroughtdevastating havoc to a BROTHER FRITZ "ON LOCATIONBy NELSON H. FRITZ, Montana '28once heavily forested country. In a wordthis is what had happened. With 80percent of the country's forests in publicownership, the people throughout theyears had enjoyed the freedom of exploitingthese timberlands at will, andthey cut and slashed without restraint.When these state forests became exhausted,the 20 percent remaining inprivate ownership were thrown open tothe people and these, too, were soonon their way to oblivion. Erosion andfloods were quick to follow, wearinggreat gullies in the mountain sides andfilling the valleys with silt and debris.Only a few scattered remnants of oncefine forested areas remained, when, in1910 the Japanese annexed the peninsulainto the empire. Realizing the folly ofKorea's ruinous forest practices the Japanese,who had always had to make twotrees grow where but one grew before, instigateda series of forestry rules and regulationsand they enforced them. So effectivewere their measuresof controlled cuttingand reforestationthat, by 1940, theforests of Korea werebeginning to supply[98]the demands of thecountry for fuelwoodand lumber.Then came the war.As carefully as they hadplanted the mountainsidesof Korea, the Japanesenow ruthlesslystripped them. Overnightthe reforestation

work of years was discarded as millionsof trees were turned into forest productsto supply the war machine of Japan.They discovered that oil from theroots of Korean pine could be manufacturedinto synthetic petroleum productsand, desperate as they were for gasolineand lubricants,' they denuded thousandsof forested acres for these roots.The situation confronting the forestersof the United States Military Governmentin South Korea was chaotic.Infestations of bark beetles, wood borersand other insects were depleting the littletimber that was left, Koreans were burningoff thousands of wooded acres to acquiremore farm lands—farm lands thatwere doomed from the start for the firesdepleted the soil of its nutrients. Otherswere maliciously tearing out young treesand cutting large timber tracts, leavingthe trees to rot where they fell. TheJapanese had planted those trees andKoreans wanted no reminders of Japan.Here was intentional forest devastationon a large scale. Amid this confusion andemotional chaos American foresters realizedthe extent of the job they had to doand went to work.Overcoming the language barrier andcustoms 4000 years old was no easy task,but it was accomplished and in recordtime. As I learned the habits of theKoreans through working with them, Ialso learned many facts about the country,its people, and its history. Koreansare an ancient and homogeneous racedistinct from both Chinese and Japanese.Their civilization, one of the oldestin the world, goes back in legend 4200years to one Tan Goon, its mythicaland mystical founder, who in the twentyfourthcentury before the birth ofChrist, led primitive tribes from thenorth and from Manchuria to establish._ KOREAN SCENES —>TOP: The three-man shovel is popular in Korea.BELOW: A forest nursery near Namwon in ChollaPukto Province.

This nameis figuratively descriptive when one considersthat through Korea's long historyit has enjoyed a stability and continuitythat few nations can claim. Only threedynasties, the Silla, Koryu and Yi, ruledthe country from 669 A.D. to 1910.At the turn of this century the Koreanstandard of living was the highest in theFar East. It suffered drastically underthe severe exploitation of the Japaneseand has been undermined again by the38° Parallel separating the country intotwo zones with no commerce or communicationbetween them. This meansthat the country is cutting its own throat,so to speak, for the south is dependentupon the north for salt, coal, timberand machine products while the northhas always looked to the south for its riceand other agricultural products.In 1939 Korea was sixth in the worldin fisheries exports. Its waters contain75 kinds of edible fish, 20 kinds of edibleshellfish and 25 other kinds of commercialsea animals and plants. In variedmineral and coal deposits and in hydroelectricpower potential, Korea has allthe resources except oil for extensive industrialdevelopment. Among its basicresources are coal, iron, gold, silver, copper,lead, zinc, tungsten, lithium, mica,nickel, barytes, molybdenum, magnesite,alum, shale, graphite, fluorspar, kaolin,and timber.Ten first-rate all-weather ports and 27secondary ports plus 139 offshore anchoragesare an asset to the foreign tradeof Korea which, before the war,amounted to $24 per capita, second inthe Orient only to that of Japan. Koreawas one of the first countries in theOrient to adopt a public system of educationbut this suffered under Japaneserule for the objective of Japan was tomake the Koreans over into inferior Japaneseand Korean school children werepunished for speaking their own languageinstead of Japanese.Korean art has long served as modelsfor Japanese porcelain ware, paintingand architecture, for Korea was themedium through which Chinese andIndian culture were introduced intoJapan. Korean lacquer-ware, ebony inlaidwith mother of pearl, is said by expertsto be the finest in the world.Authorities on Oriental art describe thebest Korean pottery as superior to thatof the rest of the Far East because of its"easeful serenity and grace. . . . neverlapsing into facility or trivial prettiness."Korean children entertain themselvesin much the same way as Americanchildren do. They see-saw, swing, jumprope, fly kites, ice-skate and make snowmen. Little girls play house and maketheir own dolls from bamboo. Most ofthe Korean games test strength, agilityor perception.Interesting as they were, the country,its people, their habits and customs, therewas still a job to be done and an over-allforest management plan to be workedout for South Korea. Briefly, what theforestry phase of the military governmentset out to accomplish—and hadmade good progress up to the time ofthe communist invasion—was (1) agreatly accelerated program of reforesta-

The objectives of thisplan were threefold:(1) Production of maximum quantitiesof highest quality of the tree speciesand sizes most needed in Korea.(2) Through sound silviculture andgood cutting practices to develop presentstands for maximum yield, while at thesame time adequately protecting forestsites, encouraging natural regeneration.(3) To strike a reasonable balance betweenforest growth and drain and tocut timber on a sustained yield basis.As this is written the Reds are retreating.What will happen in this "HermitNation" now? For a long time Koreanshave been fighting for freedom and independence.For a long time their forestshave been fighting for existence. Priorto the communist invasion there weresigns in South Korea at least that thebattle was being won. American foresters,like other advisers and technicians providedby the Military Governmentshaped their programs to this end. Canthe gains made be held in view of thepresent conflict? This is an importantquestion—a question, the answer towhich, only the future will reveal. Ifthe gains are held—and if the progressiveplans already developed are carriedout the ancient "Land of the MorningCalm" stands a good chance to becomeonce again "verdant with natural forests,"to quote the old history books.Coming Up in "The Scroll"The All-Phi Football Teams.

Phi Leads Textile Chemists, ColoristsBy R. E. Rupp, DickinsonON September 13, 1921, sixty textilechemists met at the Chemist's Clubin New York City to consider the growingneed for an organization to establishperformance tests and standards for textilefabrics, particularly with respect tothe fastness of colors thereon. From thismeeting The American Association ofTextile Chemists & Colorists originated,and it has grown to include 6500 of theleading textile technicians from Maineto California. It has developed many ofthe test methods and specifications iisedby the industry and accepted by theBureau of Standards. Its annual budgetfor research work in its own laboratoriesis approximately |ioo,ooo. It, furthermore,supervises 25 voluntary researchcommittees investigating technical problemsin private industrial textile laboratories.It is supported largely by voluntarycontributions from the textile andallied industries.During this same week Norris Raboldleft Altoona, Pennsylvania, for Carlisle,Pennsylvania, where he enrolled at Dickinsonas a freshman. If he knew therewas a textile industry, he was not theleast concerned about its technical problems,for like most Altoonans, Norris wasa railroad man, having worked in theshops of that city before entering Dickinson.But now 29 years later, as presidentof this American Association ofTextile Chemists & Colorists their problemsare his problems, as he guides theactivities of this large scientific association.At Dickinson, Norris joined *A© inhis freshman year, and has ever sincemaintained an active interest in the Fraternity.While in college Brother Raboldengaged in many extracurricular activitiesincluding the varsity tennis team.* Brother Rupp is a chemist, associated withPacific Mills. Cotton and Rayon Division, Lyman,South Carolina.[97]'22*C. NORRIS RABOLD, Dickinson '25President of A. A. of T. C. & C.but contemporary Dickinsonians perhapsremember him best, and with tolerance,for his efforts with the banjo ordrums as a member of the Red & Whitedance orchestra, which played for manyfraternity and college dances in thatperiod. A slight shudder still escapes usat the memory of the numbers he attemptedto sing during his professionalmusic career. Fortunately his duties inthe scientific world have forced him toabandon public performances, but hestill does on occasions demonstrate thesame technique with banjo or drums inthe privacy of his home.Following his graduation from Dickinsonin 1925, Brother Rabold taughthigh school chemistry in Holidaysburg,Pennsylvania and concurrently continuedhis studies in the graduate school ofPennsylvania State College. In 1928 heelected to leave the teaching professionfor industrial work, and joined thechemical staff of Pacific Mills, manufac-

He continuedin this position until 1933, serving as adepartmental chief the last two years.From 1933 to 1936 he was a member ofthe research department of Corn ProductsRefining Co., investigating the usesof starch and starch derivatives in thetextile industry, at their laboratories inChicago, Illinois. In 1936 he becameChief Chemist and Director of Researchfor the Union Bleachery, dyers and furnishersof cotton and rayon fabrics atGreenville, South Carolina, and in 1948resigned to accept his present positionas Technical Director for Erwin Mills,Inc., textile manufacturers, with headquartersat Cooleemee, North Carolina.Brother Rabold has long been activein the affairs of the American Associationof Textile Chemists & Colorists.Some of the more prominent offices hehas occupied are: Chairman of the PiedmontSection in 1942, National Councillorfrom the same section 1941 to1943, Vice-President 1947 to 1949, and inJanuary of this year he was inauguratedPresident.A great many articles on the technicalwork he and his associates have doneadvancing the scientific knowledge ofthe textile industry have been publishedby him in different recognized textilejournals, and his skill and knowledge inthis field have won him a place on theeditorial board of Textile World. He hasserved in this capacity since 1944.The activities of Brother Rabold haveextended beyond the United States onseveral occasions. After World War II,he was selected by the U. S. Army,through the office of the QuartermasterGeneral as a member of the textile teamto visit Germany and Austria for theinvestigation of any new bleaching, dyeing,printing and finishing techniquesthat had been developed in these countriesduring the war. He spent threemonths studying the industrial processesof the Ruhr section of Germany andaround Vienna, Austria. The QuartermasterGeneral has published his comprehensivereport of this work in itsTextile Series—Report #22, June 1946.In addition to this trip, it was his privilegein June of this year to preside overthe-first joint meeting of the councils ofthe American and Canadian associationsof textile chemists held in Montreal, ameeting designed to promote friendlycooperation with Canada in both the industrialand technical fields of textiles.Among Norris' many other activities,he is a member of the Masons, the Shrine,the Chemist's Club, and The AmericanChemical Society. He has hung up histennis racquet and become an enthusiasticgolfer, but Bobby Jones' records arenot in danger. As an amateur gardener,he has not upset the agricultural balanceof the nation. His pipe collection containsmany unusual specimens gatheredin this country, Europe and the Orient,which he visited in 1931.

They also omit just alot of Facts.For example, just 24 pages from theend of the book, Crichtonwrites that Groucho"went in to see hiswife." This is the firstinstance the reader isaware he had married.All in all, BrothelrKyle, practically undisputed as the masterof this style of biography, must notbe criticized too much. The main purposeof these biographies is entertainmentand Crichton does a marvelous jobat entertaining his readers with the adventuresof these truly funny fellows.Crichton picks up the Marx family intheir Manhattan tenement where Mama(the real heroine of the book) runs herbrood and papa is a tailor who spurnsthe use of a measuring tape.Mama's brother was Al Shean of theMr. Gallager-Mr. Shean fame, and naturallythe Marx boys go into vaudevilleat a tender age.

The Director of theSchool o£ Education leaned over the tableand counted the white cards."We'll have to form an extra section of EducationalPsychology," he stated."Who'll teach it?" I asked, making conversation."It's yours. An 8 o'clock on MWF."And he moved on to other matters.My cpUeague, hearing me gasp, called, "Cheerup. It ;?yon't be so bad.

On the top line ofthe catjd was Tiaritten a now famous signature—DOAK 'WAI.KERJ^MU '50].Not only was Doak in that class but alsoGilbert Johnson,^ five band members and sevenMustang Men. It was that kind of a class.One day after dass, Doak walkpd across thecampus with me toward Dallas Hall, I askedhim if he'd help me write a teen-age sportsstory, to which lie answered his congenial,"Sure!"This was in the early fall of 1947 before Doakhad won All-American recognition or the MaxwellAward. What began as a simple idea becamea colossal project as Doak and his Mustangcohorts stacked up games and honors. It wasfortunate for me that we started when we did,for as the story developed I was able to getDoak's reaction to each game and to each award.Doak was magnificent in helping prepare thestory. He kept every appointment made withme throughout all those months when local,state and national pressures were greater thanany college student should be called upon toendure. Much of my time, however, was spentin searching newspaper and magazine articlesand in interviewing Doak's family. The helpgiven by Mr. and Mrs. Walker, Sr., and NormaPeterson Walker was invaluable.Last winter Doak's mother told me thatsomeone had called to ask who was writing abook about Doak. The inquirer knew somestories about No. 37 that she was sure the writercould use.

Andhe's also the envy of musicians who are gettingnear middle age and wish they were establishedin some other business.Lowe got his start in the Greensburg HighSchool Orchestra, playing the drums. He hada dance orchestra at Purdue, playing in Indianapolisin the summertime, with Charley Davis'sBand on the Severin Hotel roof.Graduating from Purdue in civil engineering,Lowe decided he wanted to be a lawyer. So,while studying law here, he started his own danceorchestra, playing at the lAC.That was 18 years ago. He's still there, stillplaying the latest tunes, as well as older ones,in special arrangements in a soft, casual mannerwith enough zing for those who want to danceand still not too loud for those who want to talk.Meanwhile, Lowe has become a prominent attorney.He has a busy law practice, in corporation,real estate, probate and damage work, but[104]no criminal cases. He has been president of theLawyers' Association of Indianapolis.When he put up his lawyer's shingle, somefriends advised Lowe that he'd better give upthe dance orchestra as soon as his income fromthe law practice was big enough to keep himand his family. They thought that is law clients"might not understand."But Lowe was reluctant. Moreover, his lawpractice grew so rapidly that he didn't have togive up the orchestra.In subsequent years, he has become very muchthe "solid citizen." He believes he should takepart in public life, and so he is the Republicancommitteeman in his precinct. He is an elderand trustee in his church. He owns an interestin several businesses.Lowe has a home in the pleasant, woodedForest Hills\ area where, now and then, he substitutesfor his son. Bob, in carrying a route forThe News.

124 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for November, 1950Kansas Beta Is Host to French Exchange StudentBy JAMES F. MARR, ReporterTN a venture new to fraternities at WashburnUniversity, Kansas Beta has taken the lead inaiding students from other lands to obtain ahigher education in the schools of America, JeanCharles Thomas of Brains, France, recently arrivedon the campus and was greeted warmlyas a guegt of the chapter and of, the AlumniAssociation, which provides his room and board.Jean was brought to America by the TopekaRotary Club at the instigation of Dr. ByronStoffer, President of the University, and is nowbecoming accustomed to American college lifewith the help of Phis of this chapter. Livingin the chapter house with its traditional fellowshipand understanding is proving to be anexcellent way for Jean to adjust himself to theAmerican way of life.Although only 21, Jean has quite an interestinghistory behind him. During the war years theeducation system of France was disrupted uponoccupation by the German Army. Jean had lefthis native Brittany village in 1940 to attendschool in Nantes, but night and day blitzingmade study increasingly difficult and was broughtto a complete halt in 1942 when the school buildingswere gutted by bombardment, Jean was thenforced to return to his home in Brains. He playedan active part in the French underground, helpingmany grounded Allied iliers to safety orhiding them until they were able to escape. Atone time the Thomas family hid a British flierthree weeks and finally appealed to the Maquisof the famous French underground terrorist organizationto aid the flier's escape. However, theincreasing possibility of D-Day and the alliedinvasion of the mainland prevented furthersmuggling of the airnpian. Much to his dismay,his work in this case proved to be futile as theGermans attacked and took the Britisher andseveral others prisoner.Jean's plans are to take special work in Spanish,which he speaks fluently.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for November, 1950The Memory That Spanned Half A CenturyBy KENT ALLISON, Allegheny '51pERHAPS the title to this story seems a bitstrange but to the brothers at PennsylvaniaDelta, Allegheny College it represents the culminationof a most heartwarming story o£ cherishedfraternity love.The story had its beginning long, long agobefore the turn of the century when WilliamHenry Gallup was initiated into the Brotherhoodof * A 9 during his attendance at Allegheny. We,today, do not know too much about BrotherGallup and his post-graduate activities, exceptfor the fact that he was successful in his endeavorsand took with him from Allegheny ahost of pleasant memories and a great love forthat institution and for his Fraternity.In the Spring of 1949, Pennsylvania Deltaheard from Mrs, Gallup who was residing inMorgantown, W.Va. From her letter we wereable to learn that Brother Gallup had been deadsome forty-odd years—but in all those years, Mrs.Gallup had not forgotten the spirit and fervorher husband had espoused for his Fraternity. Inher letter Mrs. Gallup, now an aged woman,wanted to know something of the Fraternity'sposition and function about which we were onlytoo glad to inform her.After corresponding for some time, Mrs. Gallupsent Pennsylvania Delta her husband's pinwhich was a much larger edition of the currentSword and Shield badge. According to our agreement,this pin was to be used as a president'spin for the chapter and passed along to eachsucceeding president and in that way perpetuatethe life of the pin and the memory of the belovedBrother Gallup.Although contact lapsed at this point, thestory does not end here. It was just about oneyear later—April, 1950—that Mrs. Gallup passedon. The climax comes at this point in that herwill bequeathed ?5,ooo to Pennsylvania Delta,given in the memory of her husband—WilliamHenry Gallup. A gift such as this would be ablessing to any fraternity chapter and we areno exception, for the financial maintenance ofour own Phi mansion has become an increasingproblem to our indefatigable trustees.In retrospect, however, the size of the gift isdivarfed by the fact that the spirit and fervorbehind it, the love and cherished memory whichmade it possible, was generated over fifty yearsago by Brother Gallup and carried on after hisdeath by his wife who, upon her death, knewthat her husband's last wishes for his belovedFraternity would be realized.the class of 1951 there are Al MadColl, Henry Wnukowski,and Dan Miller.

Let's Be PreparedBy GEORGE E. HOUSSER, P.G.C.jL. The President's message proclaiminga national emergencypresents a situation, perhapsthe most serious which wehave yet faced. How will mobilizationof man-power and resourcesaffect our colleges and universities,and what will be the impactupon our Fraternity, and beyond,upon the entire fraternity system?These are questions which we must ask ourselves and to which wemust devote our most earnest attention. We must not only find theanswers but devise and bring into effect the measures necessary to meetthe situation.It is obvious that, with even partial mobilization, the enrolment ofmale students on our campuses will be drastically curtailed, and thatsome of the smaller liberal arts colleges may even have to close theirdoors. The fraternities in their turn will have to struggle along withsmall, if not mere skeleton, chapters. The resultant problems of financeand chapter leadership and management will be most serious, and mustbe anticipated and met.Not only will it require the earnest and unflagging efforts of our chaptersif they are to survive the crisis, but the loyal and continuous cooperationand assistance of our alumni will be more than evir essential.An even more serious aspect is that, in a sense, the future of the entirefraternity system may well be in jeopardy. Many years of sacrifice anddenial may lie before us, and if this be so there will be no place in ouruniversities or colleges for the frivolities, the inconsequentials, or the nonessentials.Only those things which are real, vital and essential to ourway of life will or should endure. I firmly believe that * A 0, in commonwith other greek letter societies, does play a vital and indispensable part,but we must be prepared to demonstrate this beyond peradventure inorder to justify our continued existence in times of stress. In this sensethe situation with which we are faced is at once a challenge and anopportunity. We must prove ourselves, and we dare not fail.

Inseveral instances, particularlyat the' guardposition, it was a difficulttask to select theall star choices fromdivergent geographicalareas of the nation.However, the All-Phi Board consistingof the nation's twobest known sport writers,Grantland Riceand Wilfrid Smith;three top-flight coachesHowie Odell, Stu Holcomband Dallas Ward;a former Michigan All-AU-Americ^nBOB WARD, Maryland's great guard, wasthe Fraternity's only All-American thisyear. He was honored by Look, A.P., andthe Chicago Tribune Players'.['63]American, Francis Wistert, and Dr. JohnDavis, Jr., of THE SCROLL'S EditorialBoard, were able to mold another terrificPhi eleven.A5 all SCROLL readers know the ballotingof the Board is based on five pointsfor a vote for the first team, three pointsfor second team consideration and onepoint for third team mention.The Phi player of the year is BobWard, Maryland's "watch-charm guard,"who was named on the two most authenticAU-Americans,the Associated Presseleven and Look Magazine'steam, selected byGrantland Rice.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1951 171That's the news story.Now for the inside story.It all happened spontaneously at theregular monthly luncheon meeting ofthe Hollywood Alumni Club. Reminiscingabout college life, old timer Dr. MarshallJ. Cloyes, a Golden Legion member,commented, "I get a great kick outof listening to the 'Halls of Ivy' radioprogram. Do you fellows ever tune itin?"A surprising number spoke up—admittedthat they, too, were listeners.Many praised the program. Those whohadn't heard it asked why. "Because,"spoke up Stan Brown "it uses grown-uplanguage. It doesn't talk down to you.Most radio and theatrical plays aboutcollege life make it sound like a musicalcomedy.""That's right," agreed the group. Andsomeone pointed out that much of thecredit belonged to famed writer, DonQuinn, while another commented that amember of $A0, Walter H. Bunker,Oregon '25, was vice-president in chargeof radio and television for Young' &Rubicam, the advertising agency handlingthe show."If we think so well of the show,"spoke up Marc C. Leahy, "maybe weought to write them a mass fan letter.""Better yet," spoke up Joe Stoddard,"why,not get the entire $A0 Fraternity'to pat the show on the back?"The Plan Takes FormThat idea percolated for a while—andfinally took form. After a round tablediscussion it was decided that StanBrown, Nebraska '36, then president ofthe Hollywood Alumni Club, shouldt^lk the idea over with Brother Bunkerand the representatives of the JosephSchlitz Brewing Company, sponsors of"The Halls of Ivy."Agency and sponsor were intriguedwith the idea. Gradually a plot wasworked out. It was decided to present anofficial scroll complimenting the actorsand writers in the name of the Frater-PROGRAM'S AUTHOR SEES SCROLLIncluded in the Fraternity's testimonial wasfamed radio writer Don Quinn, creator of "TheHalls of Ivy." ABOVE, Dr. Hovde shows Mr.Quinn the official citation.nity. Then arose the question of selectinga prominent member of * A 0 tomake the presentation. Realizing thehuge nationwide audience of the show,it was decided that a national figureought to be selected. This threw thechoice into the hands of the GeneralCouncil of A0 and Brother Brownwrote a long letter to Paul C. Beam, ExecutiveSecretary, to explain the plan.Our conservative Council heads wereat first appalled by the idea, and at thefirst meeting it was spurned. Then persuasiveStan Brown wrote again and atgreater length and the executive groupmet for serious consideration of the idea.The name of the President of PurdueUniversity was suggested and he wasapproached on the idea. Dr. FrederickL. Hovde, former All-American footballplayer at Minnesota and a Rhodesscholar, turned out to be an avid listenerto the program.Gradually the details were workedout, and the General Council gave itsblessing. Members of the HoUywoodAlumni Club typed up a suggested radioscript, worked out the wording of thescroll to be presented, and writer Don

172 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1951Quinn worked it all into the show forOctober 25.With the idea now well on the way toits culmination, the little group from theHollywood Alumni Club decided to"cash in" on their activities!Dr. Cloyes Is Pleased!"Let's have a party for Dr. Hovdewhen he gets here and invite all the Phisin Southern California," suggested onecanny Phi, "We can sell a I2.00 dinnerfor I2.50 and make a little .money forour club treasury." This appealed tremendouslyto Dr. Cloyes who was incharge of the deficit in the treasury. As aresult, a committee developed a planwhereby all seats to the live broadcastof the show would be reserved for $ A 0members and their ladies, and the seats—which could not be ethically sold—wereto be supplied only to menibers whosubscribed to the testimonial dinner tobe held right after the broadcast. Thisidea was a great success and as the bulletinreached Southern California Phis,orders and checks poured in.By this time, news had reached PurdueAlumni that the head of their Universitywas coming. At about the sametime, Purdue scored its sensational foot-"You boys do get around,don't you?"THE FOLLOWING lines are lifted from theactual script of the "Halls of Ivy" program:VICTORIA HALL (Mrs, Colman): May I askyou. Dr. Hovde, if the Purdue campushas settled down after chasing the Irish,hack to their own part of Indiana?HALL (Mr. Colman): Vicky . . . perhapsDr. Hovde doesn't want to talk footballon this particular occasion.HOVDE: Oh yes I do. . . .

Dr. Hovde flew in and wasmet at the field, the evening before theshow, by Stan Brown and Francis D.(Pete) Lyon, president of OmicronProvince of $A®. By this time, newsmindedmembers of our Fraternity hadtipped off the press—and columnists,sportswriters, and news reporters wereeager to talk to the good Doctor. Aseries of interviews was arranged at thefamed Hollywood Brown Derby andBrother Hovde was kept busy answeringand parrying questions until rehearsaltime.It turned out that Dr. Hovde hadnever before appeared upon a broadcastand the whole modus operandi of rehearsalwas fascinating to him. He wasintroduced to Mr. and Mrs. RonaldColman, writer Don Quinn, and otherpersonalities of the cast and becausethey got along so famously his part was"built up."Just at the start of the show—an unexpectedproblem presented itself. It hadbeen planned that the regular announcer.Ken Carpenter, a Phi fromKnox—class of '21, would introduce Dr.Hovde as a Brother Phi. But Ken Carpenterwas also the announcer on theBing Crosby show—and just before AlJolson was to appear on that show asa guest, he died. This required a completerewriting of the Bing Crosby showand Carpenter was held over and wasunable to appear. The alert Stan Brown,standing by representing the Fraternity,came to the rescue with the suggestionthat another famed Phi announcer,Wendell Niles, be used. The substitutionwas most acceptable to all—andfortunately Brother Niles was available.He stepped into the role with very shortrehearsal. It seemed there was always amember of $A0 around somewhere toinsure success of the plan.Finally it was curtain time. The bigNBC auditorium in the heart of RadioCity in Hollywood, was packed with$ A 0 brothers and their ladies—plus aliberal sprinkling of Purdue alumni whohad joined our party. The show went on—the Colmans acquitted themselvesbeautifully as always—and in the lastthird of the show Dr. Hovde was introducedand performed like a polishedprofessional.He showed no trace of "mike fright"

The Colmansand cast were delighted with his performance.(See box for short "take"from script.)At a whispered conference—the Colmanspressed an invitation upon Dr.Hovde to visit their home after our Fraternityparty. Then the Doctor was ledoff to face another group of reporters—with a whole new set of questions. Againnews bulletins flashed over the wires tonewspapers all over the country. Radionewscasts—movie column gossipers—allmade mention of the presentation of theaward in the name of * A ©. As evidenceof the newsworthiness of the event.Time, the weekly news magazine, devoteda page in its November 6 issue.Party Great SuccessBy this time the audience had movedfrom the studios to the La Maria restaurantat 6480 Sunset Blvd., scene of themonthly Hollywood Alumni Club meetings,which had been chartered for theevening. A fraternity dance orchestra,rounded up by Brother Scotty Hunter,gave the occasion a carnival spirit. Therestaurant management was busy addingtables to accommodate the unexpectedlast minute reservations. The committeemade a quick, computation of incomeversus expenses—and bought some morespecialties for the menu.The rush of guests was so great thatthe original idea of serving them at thetables had to be abandoned because (1)there were too many tables crowded intothe hall and (2) there simply weren'tenough waitresses available. So dinnerwas served buffet style.Speeches were held to the minimum.Stanley Brown officiated, making a fewshort introductions, then called uponDr. Hovde who spoke "off the record" tohis Fraternity and Purdue friends. Hisremarks were greatly appreciated. Thenthe meeting broke up in small groups,dancing, talking, meetings of old friends.Everybody Was HappyDr. Hovde greeted as many as he possiblycould and late in the evening leftto go on to a house party at the RonaldColman's. There, we understand, theparty went on until the wee sma' hoursand the Doctor had to get his rest whenflying back by plane the next day.

Why is thisnews for THE SCROLL? Because the JenkinsCompany is a real stronghold of * A 0, andPhis passing through this midwestern metropoliswill always find a welcome there.One might say the story (insofar as * A 0is concerned) began back in October, 1908,when Clinton W.

This is importantbecause it was Clint who was on the scenewhen the first, Jenkins—John W., Ill—enteredK.U. in 1912 . . . with another fraternitypledge pin in his pocketlYoung Jenkins saw the light, however,with the help of a little blood,sweat and tears by Kanaga, andhe soon put on the Phikeia emblemof *A0. Fred B. Jenkinsfollowed and Paul W. joined theclan to keep the chain intact.Years later, as the fourth generationof the Jenkins familycame on, John Clifford put onthe pin and was followed byJ.

This was perhaps the high pointof the entire weekend.

Brother Crozier wasnot only the oldest Phi present at theCentennial, but he had come from agreater distance than anyone else present.Robert Crozier is truly one of thegreatest living Phis.Don Mosiman, president of IndianaBeta, also spoke briefly and presented toWabash College a portrait of ByronPrice, Wabash '12.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1951 185which was granted by Indiana Alpha onNov. 16, 1850. Of course, at that timethe Fraternity existed outside the law,because of the college regulation against"secret societies." In spite of the attitudeof the college administration duringthose first few years, Indiana Beta continueda rather precarious existence. Becauseof the forced secrecy, few recordswere kept and even the first two charters,the second of which was issued in1854, were lost. The third and lastcharter was issued in 1856 upon applicationto Indiana Alpha, The period ofsecrecy lasted until 1862, when the collegefinally relented and Indiana Betawas able to come into the open.Wabash men have always taken animportant part in the affairs of *A©.The first Phi Delt song. Our Army for theRight Boys!, was written by Captain W.P. Black, Wabash '64. The first coat-ofarmswas designed by J. F. Gookins,Wabash '64. Gookins was also responsiblefor adding the sword to the shieldin our badge. The first such badge waspresented to General John C Black,Wabash '62, at the time of the installationof the chapter at the old Universityof Chicago, Jan, 11, 1866.The National Convention was heldin Crawfordsville on May 20-22, 1872,under the auspices of Indiana Beta. Themeetings took place in Good Templar'sHall. Columbus D. Whitehead, Wabash'73, acted as president of this Conventionand also the meeting of 1875, afterwhich he became what was known inthose days as the "Grand Banker."In addition to Whitehead, IndianaBeta has supplied the General Fraternitywith two presidents of the GeneralCouncil, and two editors of THE SCROLLand Palladium. Thomas A, Davis, '96,and George Banta, Jr., 14, were editorsof the magazines; Will H. Hays, '00, andGeorge Banta, Jr., were P.G.C.s. Nochapter of * A 0 excels Indiana Beta inthis respect.Inactive status on account of lack ofmembership was averted in 1901 whenWill H.

Brothers Beam andGeorge Banta, Jr,, P,P,G,C,, told us ofthe job that has fallen on our shouldersas founders of the new chapter. BrotherLouis Keller, who was associated with Digammafor twenty years as faculty adviser,also gave a short talk, GarrickTaylor, Syracuse '14, gave the main address.In a most inspiring manner, welearned from him what a fraternity canreally mean, not only in our undergraduatedays, but all through our life. Asidefrom the actual initiation and installationceremonies, Brother Taylor's wordswere the high point of the weekend.With his message still fresh in ourminds, the chapter was installed in theCollege Chapel. The installation team,headed by Brother Wilterding, wasmade up of Brothers Banta, Beam,Johnson, McHenry, Carl Pfau, Dartmouth'13, President of the ChicagoAlumni Club, Alumni CommissionerWilliam Shaw, and Taylor, McHenryacted as Warden,A banquet and dance concluded thefestivities, as more than three hundred,including over one hundred Digamalums, shared facilities of the beautifulSkycrest Country.

Duringthese years, the Fraternity found plentyof good material.World War II brought the Navy V 12unit, and saw the Phi Delt house turnedinto a navy barracks.In 1945, following the withdrawal ofthe V-12's, Indiana Beta was left withone active member, Fredrick W, Zipp,He called on the aid of the Crawfordsvillealumni and organized the first postwarpledge class.The torch, which men like WiU Haysand Frank Burk carried when they didtheir parts to continue Indiana Beta,has been passed—it is now up to the presentand future Phis to conduct themselvesin such a fashion that this light maynever become extinguished.So the first one hundred years of IndianaBeta's existence are now part ofthe past. They were profitable ones. Todaywe are looking forward to a secondhundred years of even larger growth andbetter achievement.

A Corner With Phi AuthorsBy DEAN M. HOFFMAN, P.P.G.C, Dickinson '02William A. Ganoe isa West Point mannow retired with therank of Colonel and residingin a house of hisown design. The house,known as ShoestringChalet, is on Siesta Key, Sarasota, Florida.He is more than that, he is the authorof The History of the United StatesArmy and other books and magazinearticles. But in this instance he is aMethodist minister's son with a heartthat remembers a great deal that tookplace in the parsonages and parishes ofhis boyhood days. He gives a moving recitalof the "badgering" to which ministersand their families were subjected.Brother Ganoe tells the story withoutbitterness but with few punches pulledas he relates the experiences of the Rev.William Verne and his family as theymove from one pastorate to another inCentral Pennsylvania, some of them inthe towns where the author spent hisboyhood."Mamma," the Rev. Mr. Verne's wife,is an unusually talented woman and thesavior of more than one tense situationwhich seemed beyond the capacity ofthe pastor to handle. Sometimes thesesituations involved the august bishopwho in time was duly tamed by thewife's argument and persuasiveness. Atother times the leading contributors inthe congregation had to be shown theirplace. There were times when the shrinkingcongregations and collections madeheavy the pastor's heart only to have hisgood wife lighten the burden. She knewmost of the arts of diplomacy and tactand used them most effectively.For persons who lived in the 90s,Brother Ganoe has drawn among othersa vivid picture of the religious revivalsof that time in which some of the wor-My Heart Remembers shippers had to be restoredto normal byBy COL, WILLIAM A, GA>careful nursing.Dickinson '02His description of aThomas Y, Crowell Co,i95o-*3-ooPennsylvania anthracitecommunity — Shamokin—is photographic of thecommunity of his times.

OILMAN, Wisconsin '20, a Navymedical officer, warned against the over-;Use ofpenicillin as a healing power in a recent issueof the U. S. Armed Forces Medical Journal.Penicillin has often caused patients to breakout in a rash and occasionally it has causedmore severe reactions-Brother Oilman warned that ill effects ofpenicillin are increasing in both number andgravity. Reactions like old-fashioned serumsickness, he said, suggest that penicillin mayact as such a strong sensitizing agent that asecond course of treatment with it becomesimpossible for a while. He reported that reactionsin pre-sensitized patients are marked by"chills, fever, prostration, arthritic symptomsand shock." Recovery takes a long time, andthere may be serious relapses. The ultimateabsurdity, according to Captain Gilman is the .use of penicillin to treat vague complaints whenthe patient is actually suffering from a reactionto penicillin itself.Shakespearean scholarship and information onthe history of English printing.Brother Ingold, himself the author of twobooks, T^les of a Peddler and The House inMallorca, received his degree from Illinois inengineering, and was the first graduate managerof athletics at the University.

Dr. Smith, a former vicepresidentof the American Medical Associationexplained how a simple procedure is making itpossible to diagnose kidney cancer and otherserious kidney conditions without an operation.A synthetic iodine compound which is opaqueto X-rays, he said, is injected into the mainartery leading from the heart. The opaquesolution enters the kidney, making it possiblefor X-ray pictures, taken at the rate of fourevery second, to detect any abnormality in thekidney's blood circulation."In 500 applications of this technique,"Brother Smith reported, "'we have had .nodeaths. After six hours, patients are comfortableand sitting up in bed. The technique shouldsave many lives, not only by removing guess-"work in telling whether a growth is a cystor cancer, but also by obviating a lot of exploratoi^surgery."The speaker expressed the hope that the procedurewill make it possible to prove the relationshipof high blood pressure and certainkidney abnormalities."It now appears," he asserted, "that when thecirculation of the kidney is altered, the kidney,through some degeneration, releases ' poisonswhich, when absorbed in the blood stream.markedly increase the pressure. It now seemsreasonably certain that this poisonous 'pressor'substance is released when the blood circulationin the kidney is decreased."''Tell Me Why She WoreThat Pin . . .'*A letter from WILUAM M.

TheSubmarine Division based at Tsingtao, where I wasliving at the time. Frequently the Flagship wouldstay in port for a short period too.Having considerable contact with the fleet andmany of its personnel, I had many occasions to callon different officers. Upon this particular occasion itwas the medical officer of the Flagship and at hisshore quarters where his family was staying.

His hall was blocked by a snoozingskunk, he said.A shelter inspector hurried to the troublescene and found the report entirely correct. Hewas reluctant to disturb the sleeper, he said, lestthe little black and white kitten use the equipmentprovided it by Nature.There was much ado until the skunk's napwas over. It raised its head, and the bell aroundits neck jingled. Then, realizing that the snoozerwas somebody's pet, all the people who hadgathered around became boastfully brave. Theinspector hauled the little stinker—actually nota stinker—off to the Shelter.Word of the apartment dweller's predicamentgot to the Los Angeles newspapers. A Phialumnus on the editorial staff of the Los AngelesTimes heard the story of the skunk andrealized that he knew her well. He called theCalifornia Delta chapter at Southern California."Where's Beta?" he asked."She's been missing all day," answered one ofthe Phikeias."Then get down to the Animal Shelter andclaim her."And, sure 'nough, there was the CaliforniaDelta mascot in a pen at the pound.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1951 239Two Boxing Champions at Virginia BetaBy RICHARD P. TILLACK, Virginia Beta Reporter"W'IRGINIA BETA has always been well representedin athletics at the University ofVirginia, but for the past several years thisrepresentation has been especially strong becauseof two multi-championship boxers in the house,Al Hollingsworth and Bat Masterson. Al andBat will be the co-captains of the Virginia boxingteam this season.Hollingsworth has held a strong position onthe Virginia boxing squad for three years. Eachyear that he has boxed for Virginia, Al has wonthe E.I.B.A. title for his weight—125-poundclass the first year, and 130-pound class for thenext two years. This year Al will have a chanceto take a fourth E.I.B.A. title. He is the firstman ever to have this opportunity.Al was introduced to the ring when he wasjust eight years old. At that tender age he entered'the boxing class for Navy juniors at theNaval Academy. In prep school at the NewMexico Military Institute, he gained more experiencethrowing leather in intramurals for twoyears. Now at 21, with three coUege titles behindhim and a unique chance to win a fourth one,the 130-pounder has a record in the ring thatis outstanding by anybody's standards.Grover Masterson, or "Bat" as he is knownaround the Grounds, topped his long list ofachievements in boxing this year by winningthe Southern Invitational Title for the 135-pound class. In 1948 he won the E.I.B.A. 130-pound title, and the next year he won the 135-pound title in the Easterns match. Except foran unfortunate illness which prohibited himfrom boxing in the tournament this year. Eat,like Al, might have garnered his third E.I.B.A.title, with a chance to get his' fourth next year.Grover has beenboxing a good portion of histwenty-one years. His father, who had been anamateur boxer, first introduced him to themanly art with a pair of boxing gloves and afew lessons when the younger Masterson wassix years old. In the ninth grade Bat startedboxing on the junior high school team, and bythe time he had finished high school he hadcopped a total of eight titles, including twoSoutheastern AAU Featherweight titles. Besidespiling up his enviable record in athletics, Grovermade straight A's in, high school.When he left Chattanooga to come to Virginiaon a Du Pont scholastic scholarship. Batdid not sit back and rest on his laurels. He is aDean's List man, the R.O.T.C. colonel, a memberof Skull and Key, Jefferson Sabres (militarysociety), Imps (social society), and the V Club.Last semester he was elected Secretary-Treasurerof the University.MITT CHAMPSAl Hollingsworth (left) and Bat Masterson ofVirginia BetaStevens, Mt.

Andif we are ambitious and not smug, we can getstill better.One of the most pernicious outcroppingsof smugness in $ A G, is the indifference aboutthe arrival of sons, grandsons, nephews,cousins and kid brothers of Phis on campuseswhere we have been long established.Nothing can chill the enthusiasm and loveof a Phi for his Fraternity naore quickly andpermanently than to get the "brush-off" on aIn this article Brother Herrick discusses a problem that is growing—and will continue to grow—with each passing year.

The ScROi.1.—Palladium Number, January, 1951(one of our strongest in the East) only 8 or10 years back. His son went to an eastern college(not the father's) and largely because ofindifference and smugness on the part of ourchapter there the "Eta Bita Pis" beat our timeand pledged the boy. Worse yet, the Phi Deltfather in this case, rarely shows up any moreat Phi meetings.These are only two of hundreds of cases.which come to the attention of Phi alumniofficers constantly. This problem is a veritable'"rathole" down which our great strength canebb away. The alumni are partly to blamebecause they don't see the undergraduatebrothers often enough and thus win their confidenceand attention.We believe the active chapter brotherscrave nothing so much as a closer acquaintancewith a wide cross section of Phi alumni.Whether active or alumnus, however, thisbusiness of snubbing each other on accountof sons, younger brother^ cousins and nephewsnot making *Ae is a menace, and itsaps the strength of this Fraternity we all holdinviolate.The following is a letter from a Phi:"What I am about to lay before you I havegiven considerable thought to and since asituation parallel to my own was brought tomy attention very recently, I feel that the Fraternityshould really give some thought to thematter, too."A few years ago after our younger son returnedfrom World War II, he decided toenter an eastern college. I wrote the chapterasking the boys to look him over as Fraternitymaterial. For three years the boy attendedthat college and not once was he approachedby the local chapter as a possible pledge. Hedid get a bid to another fraternity and accepted."This past summer I wrote to the chapterin another eastern college recommending apossible pledge for their consideration. Iknew the boy and his family and felt he wouldmake good Fraternity material and knew hisfamily would do considerable for the Fraternity,if the boy was pledged. To this dayneither I nor the ^boy has heard anythingfurther."Less than a month ago, in talking with aclassmate and Fraternity brother, he informedme that his son was attending an easterncollege. Shortly after college opened thefather visited the chapter and asked themto consider his son as possible material. TimeBARRETT HERRICK, Washington '15Member-at-Large of the General Councilwent on and the hoy did not get his invitationso the father dropped in again to see whatwas happening. 'He was told that his son wason the list but had either been overlooked orthey had not gotten around to him yet. It did ^not set very well, you can imagine, as thefather is quite a responsible citizen in thecity where he is living."These situations point up to the fact thatsome of us fraternity alumni are beginning towonder if the present-day chapters don'tthink that we are too back numbers to knowwhat is going on. If it has happened in threeinstances, how many more has it happened?It does not set very well and surely is notgood for the Fraternity, especially when wereceive numerous requests for financial aid."What shall we do about this?Here are some suggestions.The alumni must watch and plan at leastfour years ahead for the arrival of this youngmaterial on the

The SCROLL—Palladium Number, January, 1951Active chapters are large these days. Theyrepresent wide and diverse interests and viewson what is good Phi Delt material. Manyactive brothers do not Icnow the alumnus whorecommends a certain young rushee. Theseactive brothers are intelligent and have enquiringminds searching for human values.They are wide open to be "sold" by thealumni brothers, but just a letter about a highschool graduate is not enough.The alumni would not have it any other' way. Perhaps we have 8,000 to 9,000 activebrothers as compared with 55,000 to 60,000living alumni. These alumni delegate the exclusivechoice oi^ pledges to our undergraduatebrothers and, believe it or not, the activebrothers talê this responsibility very seriously.We alumni must sharpen up and streamlineour efforts to "sell" the active brotherson the sons and brothers coming to college.The active chapters are also partly to blamefor this seeming neglect of alumni recommendations.The old, old story of "Noaclcnowledgement to letters about enteringmen" is still a great big heartache.Why is it that rushing committees getparalysis of the penmanship hand or the typewriterwhen the heat goes on? This is thepurest way we know of to weaken $ A 9.Why can't rushing committees use the longdistance telephone and explain their rushingproblems to alumni or invite the alumniaround to talk it over?Alumni heartaches and heartbreaks are toonumerous to count. Most of them arise fromthis source. All Phis—active and alumnihavetaken sacred and binding obligations.We all have those obligations fresh in ourminds.Would you say that the neglect of a PhiDelt son newly arrived on the campus was inobedience to that sacred promise? Or wouldyou say that loud and frequent condemnationof some chapter by several alumni is in harmonywith what we all said "so help usGod" we shall do?More thoroughness on the part of thealumni and more understanding among activechapters will help us to act like true Phis onthe vital part of developing this $ A 6 which 'we all love so much.The State of Emergency. Every sincere officer in every undergraduate chapter of * A 6will read and study carefully the suggestions contained in Executive Secretary PaulBeam's January News Bulletin. . . . Organize your alumni for possible future AssociateMembership, and join with them in formation of a War Emergency Committee. . . .If your rushing program is lagging, step it up. . . .

After three years of service to the Fraternity, principally in chaptervisitation work, A. R. (Bob) McHenry, Jr., Gettysburg '38, resigned his position asAssistant Secretary. Bob made a host of friends throughout the realm of * A 6 duringhis years with the Fraternity, and all wish him well in his new undertakings.« « *General Coundl Meets in Florida. During the week of January 8-13 the General Councilof * A e convened in important meetings in Jacksonville, Florida. The meetings werearranged to coincide with the installation of the Fraternity's 113th chapter—FloridaGamma—at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida. All members of the GeneralCouncil were on hand for the meetings and for installauon ceremonies of the new chap-,ter. The March issue of THE SCROLL will carry full details.1950 Convention Proceedings. Editing of the manuscript of the 1950 General Conventionwas completed late in November following receipt of the stenotype report.

3,189 Last Year; Who'll Help Make It 10,000?By HAYWARD S. BIGGERS, Lawrence '$i, EditorTN the Palladium Supplement to the Jan--*• uary, 1950, SCROLL, George S. Ward,Treasurer of the General Council, presenteda detailed report on the financial structureof'*Ae. In this report he explained theFraternity's source of income and the mannerin which it is allocated in the overallmaintenance of our program.Most Phis know, of course, that our principalsource of income is from the $40 feewhich each raan pays at the time of his initiationinto the Fraternity. In spite of the factthat this is in the very lowest bracket of feesamong all fraternities, this is the only paymenta Phi is required to make to the NationalFraternity, funds. Phi Delta Theta'sinitiation fee was set many years ago and ithas never been raised—even in the face ofspiralling operation costs during recent years.Increase in Fee ResistedAn increased initiation fee was consideredat the 1950 Convention in Chicago, but themove was resisted with the full support of ourofficers, who continue to take pride in thefact that our fees are lower than any of thefraternities with which we compete. Only onechange was made at Chicago. No longer is $5of the initiation fee credited on the purchaseof a badge. This portion of the fee will goto the General Fraternity for operating expensesand the full cost of the badge will beborne by the initiate. In normal times thischange might be expected to add approximately,1510,000 per year to the Fraternityoperating fund—enough to cover estimatedoperating losses in off-convention years andpart of the loss in a convention year.These are not normal times, however!Recent figures ,from Executive SecretaryPaul Beam indicate a ten per cent decrease inpledges from last year. And this trend isbound to continue and grow as the worldsituation forces more and more college meninto military service. Indeed, it is difficult toforesee the effect that 'depleted male rolls inour colleges and universities during the nextfew years may have on the Fraternity's income.During the last two fiscal years the Fraternityhas had an operating loss of 1123,662.55.[4]For the year ending June 30, 1950, the losswas 14,301.71, and in the prior year endingJune 30, 1949, the loss was $19,301.84.In commenting on these operating losses in ,his report to the 1950 Convention, TreasurerWard said in part:"Although our Centennial Convention explainsin part at least the loss in our currentoperations for the past biennium, thismatter gives me great concern. A continuanceof this policy would, in my opinion, bevery detrimental and eventually place theFraternity in an untenable position. Deficitfinancing should not and cannot be tolerated.... It is well knoivn, of course, that the-cost of everything we do and everything webuy has very materially increased, .i noticeableexample is our traveling expense forexactly the same service. The SCROLL costsmore and the income from each |io subscriptionis very consideraby less than in formeryears. Your future General Councils will beconfronted with either increasing therevenue or curtailing the services performed.Solution to the Problem"An appeal for voluntary alumni contributionshas been made in recent years and ourexperience during the past two years leadsme to believe that perhaps this can be developedinto the answer to this problem."A year ago [1949] 2,559 Phis contributed$8,271.70. This is more than had ever beencontributed. During the past year [1950]3,189 Phis contributed $10,961.50. It wouldseem there should be at least 10,000 Phis whowould be willing to contribute $2 annually."While this is primarily an alumni problem,all our active chapters can be very helpful.Through their chapter papers and lettersthey can give this matter publicity and keepthe alumni advised as to the number of contributionsthat have been made by theirchapters. Then, too, it should be rememberedthat today's active members aretomorrow's alumni. I think all our chaptersshould know that without some suchfinancial assistance it will probably be necessaryto increase our initiation fee unless, ofcourse, we would be content to perform lessservice to the chapters and perhaps reduce

I think we are all inagreement that this would be undesirable."There are a great many of us who feelvery strongly that it would be a mistake toincrease the initiation fee. . . . We hope itwill never be impossible for a poor boy to becomea Phi if he is willing to make a smallsacrifice.Alumni Club Help Urged"Our Alumni Clubs can, of course, be veryhelpful in [increasing the voluntary alumni. contributions].''Brother Ward went on to urge the activesupport of all of our alumni clubs in thecampaign to increase the voluntary alumnicontributions. Alumni clubs are asked tosolicit all their members. Under such circumstances,it seems that there would be very fewPhis who would be unwilling to contributethe small sum of $2.* * *In a short time appeals will go out fromGeneral Headquarters to Phis all over theworld, asking their participation in thisvoluntary effort to aid the Fraternityfinancially.Brother Alunuius, won't you join in?

There never was a time when your contributionto the Fraternity was more truly needed than it is this year.The foregoing article gives you the reasons.When you receive your request forthis voluntary aid this year ... be sureto respond and give as much as you can.Let's keep Phi Delta Theta solvent without adding tothe burden of our undergraduate brothersi

A Phi Alumnus Visits Arkansas Alpha—and Reports(The following letter was written to President George E. Housser by GARRICK M. TAYLOR,Syracuse '14, following the visit which he describes. His letter is a splendid trib^tte toArkansas Alpha and we believe it will prove inspirational to other chapters of 4» A6.—ED.)DEAR BROTHER HOUSSER:This may prove to be a somewhat lengthyletter, but I believe it will repay reading forit tells of an inspiring experience directly connectedwith Phi Delta Iheta.I have just returned to Chicago from amonth's motor trip thru the 0.iarks. I wasalone on the trip, wandering where the spiritwilled, and one Monday afternoon, came intoFayetteville, Arkansas, intending to spend thenight there. ."Actually, I stayed two weeks.1 am not what, in my own language, I call a"professional fraternity man." By that I meanthe Brother who, under the guise of good fellowship,uses every chapter he gets within fiftymiles of for free meals and lodging. But thisparticular evening I was lonely, and decided I'dvisit our chapter at the University of Arkansas.As I came up on the front porch, 1 could seethey were apparently having a meeting of somesort in the living room. I hesitated a moment,then knocked on the door. To the' man whoanswered it I said I was a Phi Delt from NewYork Epsilon. They must have been magicwords, for in a moment, the whole room seemedto spring up at me in welcome. I never gotsuch a greeting in my life.They were liaving an open meeting withpledges present, and it was soon over. Theythen asked rae if I would like to come downto their regular weekly ritualistic meeting. Isaid I would, very much, for I had not attendeda meeting, except the one at the CentennialConvention, since I left college in 1914.The result was that after I had passed thenecessary examination, I found myself sittingin a crude, crowded basement room, makingresponses unspoken for 36 years.It was then the miracle began to happen. Foras the meeting progressed, I became increasinglyconscious of a feeling of awe and wonderment.It wasn't just the ritual, tho that was conductedwith a feeling of reverence and devotion worthyof any church on earth. It was more than that.The meeting was lengthy, with many problemsto be threshed out, and some electionsheld. .A.s it progressed, it began to dawn on methat here was a group of men who were actuallyliving all the fine thing.'? our Founders dreamedof 102 years ago. These men actually felt thethings they professed. They were really, in spiritand in deed, living. "All for one, and one forall." I have never heard our ritual more reverentlydone, not even at the Centennial. I have16]never heard anywhere more fairminded, conscientiousdiscussion of problems and men, Ihave never encountered a more generous respectfor the differing opinions of others.These men did more than give me back myancient faith in fraternity. They gave me backiny faith in all mankind.After the meeting, when they discovered I wason vacation, they insisted that I stay on, andwanted me to come into the house, even thoit would have meant ousting someone there.That, of course, 1 didn't do, remaining at mymotor court, but I did stay, as I have said, foralmost two weeks, stealing away only over theweekend, so I would not interfere with any ofthe brothers' dating, for I knew the) would feelthey would have to look after me.I'll admit I was almost afraid to return to thehouse the following day—afraid that I'd be disillusionedby finding I had only imagined thebeauty I thought I had found.But I did go back, and I was not disillusioned.Never once in the two weeks I was in and outof the house, did I hear one false, jarring note.This brotherhood was real.I have never been in any fraternity house, ourown or others, where there was so little classconsciousness. By that I mean seniors, juniorsand so forth. These men are brothers. Theywork together.Arkansas Alpha is not a wealthy chapter, butthey are managing their financial affairs intelligently,and they're solvent. They have supervisedstudy for pledges. They lead all the fraternitieson the campus in scholarship. Theyare completely active in intramural sports andother campus activities, Fhey hold various campusoffices, and that last thru sheer merit, notthru political alliances. They are on cordialterms with every other fraternity on the campus,and that, in itself, is unique. They appear to beon equally friendly terms with the non fraternitymen.They were the only chapter, south of theMason and Dixon Line, to vote for-a changein the so-called .Aryan clause. They have a chapterby-law which limits their active membershipto 50 men, to my mind a most wise provision.Their one great handicap at the moment isthe size of their house. They badly need largerquarters. Their house is clean and attractivebut it is not large enough to house them allunder one roof, or to permit the advantage 0/(Continued on page 8)

Federal Taxes As They Now Apply to theActive ChaptersBy PAUL C. BEAM, ExecutiveSecretaryCET FORTH below in complete detail is thenew situation with respect to the FederalInsurance Contributions (old age security) Taxas it was applied to fraternity chapters beginingJanuary i, 1951. It is suggested that chapterofficers give thoughtful attention to this bulletinand thereafter consult with chapter adviserslocally in order to make certain that each chapteris complying with all provisions of the law.Federal Insurance Contributions (Old Age SocialSecurity) TaxBulletins issued by the General Headquartersin 1946 stated that active chapters did not haveto pay social security taxes with respect todomestic service in a chapter house, and thatsuch taxes did not have to be paid with respectto the employment of students in other capacitiesin connection with the operation of an activechapter. Under the provisions of the Actof the Congress of the United States approvedAugust 28, 1950 (Public Law 734—8ist Congress,and Session, Chapter 809) amending theSocial Security Act, ' those exemptions arechanged with respect to the Federal InsuranceContributions (old age social security) Tax.The exemption still applies with respect to"domestic service performed in a local collegeclub, or local chapter of a college fraternity orsorority, by a student who is enrolled and isregularly attending classes at- a school, college,or university" (Section 1426 (b) (2) of the InternalRevenue Code, as amended by Section204 (a) of the -Act of August 28, 1950). But theexemption does not generally apply after December5/, 1950 (a) with respect to domesticservice performed by persons other than enrolledstudents, or (b) with respect to other studentemployment by active chapters, such asthe treasurer, house manager or other chapterofficer employees. This is because the definitionof employment so far as the tax is concerneddoes not, after that date, as heretofore, excludedomestic service so performed or service renderedby a regularly enrolled student for anorganization which is ex.empt from income tax.There is no exemption for those classes of employmentunless the service in any calendarquarter is performed in the employ of an organizationwhich is exempt from income taxunder Section 101 of the Internal Revenue Codeand the remuneration for such service is less than%o (Section 1426 (b) (11) (A) of the InternalRevenue Code as amendecl by Section 204 (a) ofthe Act of August 28, 1950).[7]The active chapters of the Fraternity, assubsidiary units thereof, are exempt from incometax under Section 101 (9) of the InternalRevenue Code (see Part I o£ the Bulletin ofNovember i, 1946). BU*r the exclusion doesnot apply where the cash remuneration and theremuneration paid in any,medium other thancash (stich as credit allowances for board, room,rent, dues, etc.) as wages is more than $50 inany calendar quarter.The foregoing means that an active chaptermust, since December ji, igô, collect and payFederal Insurance Contributions (old age socialsecurity) Tax upon domestic service regularlyperformed for it by other than enrolled students,and upon other services performed forit, where the cash paid and other remunerationallowed exceeds $$0 in any calendar quarter.Domestic service has heretofore been defined as.that of a "household nature" performed in orabout the rooms or house of a local chapter ofa college fraternity or sorority and is said toinclude "services rendered by cooks, maids, butlers,laundresses, furnacemen, waiters and housemothers."This definition is important andthere is no indication that it will be changed inconnection with the amendments in the Act ofAugust 28, 1950, relating to the tax. Thus in thecase of a regularly employed cook, houseman,waiter, housemother or other domestic serviceemployee, who is not an enrolled student anda regularly employed treasurer, housemanager orother chapter officer employee, where the cashor total remuneration exceeds $50 in any calendarquarter, the tax must, since December 31,1950, be collected and paid. \Warning to Chapters!John R. Neal Is Not A PhiIT was recently called to Executive SecretaryPaul C. Beam's attention by OhioEpsilon Chapter that John R. Neal, givinghis address as 832 Osceola Ave., St.Paul, Minn., "dropped in" on Ohio Epsilonand, in the process, passed a $20check which was worthless.Fraternity records indicate that Nealwas expelled from Phi Delta Theta onSeptember 1, 1935, for conduct unbecominga Phi and gross financial irregularity.

The SCROLL—Palladium Number, January, 1951The tax rate is 1-^2% of the wages paid upto December 31, 1953, increasing thereafter upto 3% to December 31, 1969. That rate is paidby the employee (Section 1400, Internal RevenueCode, as amended by Section 201 (a) of the-•Vet of August 28, 1950) and also by the employer,the active chapter (Section 1410, InternalRevenue Code, as amended by Section201 (b) of the Act of .August 28, 1950). The taxupon the wages of the employee is collected bythe employer active chapter by deduction fromthe wages as and wh^n paid (Section 1401 (a),Internal Revenue Code) and it and the taxupon the employer is turned over to the localCollector of Internal Revenue (Section 1420 (a).Internal Revenue Code). The method of collectionand payment of the tax has not yetbeen determined and fixed by the FederalBureau of Internal Revenue but as soon asregulations and instructions in that regard areissued your chapter will be informed.Federal Unemployment TaxActive chapters are still exempt from thepayment of the Federal Unemployment Tax(also known as the tax upon eight or raoreemployees) in connection with domestic service,regardless of who renders the service, and anyother class of employment performed by studentsin any capacity in connection with tfieoperation of the chapter because the .^ct ofEXPULSIONSLeo Joseph Bush, Bond Number 511, bySouth Dakota Alpha, for conduct unbecominga Phi.

I don'twant to give a wrong impression. These menare not super-men. They are all perfectly normal,red-blooded, healthy men such as you'llfind on any campus in .A.merica. That is true ofthe initiates. It is equally true of their pledges.They srnoke, cuss, date, take an occasional drink(not in the house) like any normal man or boyof their age. They're human—very human. Butin some inspired way, thru the alchemy of agreat ideal, they have found an added dimensionthat I have never found before in anyPhi Delta Chapter, in any other fraternity, inany other group of men.I am a hard-headed business man, treasurer(Continued from page 6)and creative head of my company. I am notgiven to emotionalism or to wishful thinking.But in this group, and in others like them—if there be any—I see the only salvation forhumanity. They are a living proof that thebrotherhood of man not only works, but thatit is the only solution to the overwhelmingproblems that beset our civilization.Arkansas Alpha was one of our CentennialChapters. We could not have chosen morewisely. They have been in existence only twoyears, but already they have learned a lessontoo many of our chapters have long since forgotten,if, indeed, they ever knew it.

HOUSSER, K.C.President of the General CouncilPAUL C. BEAMExecutive SecretaryA Request for Voluntary Alumni Contributions of $2 Will Be Made Soon.Will You Be One of 10,000 Needed Phis to Respond?

Let's HELPGeorge Do It!JL. Meet George Ward!An Illinois Eta Phi—and mighty proudof it—he's known as "Mr. Phi Delt" among hisbrothers in the Washington, D.C, AlumniClub.George is also Treasurer oi the GeneralCouncil of Phi Delta Theta and it's a prettytough job—has been a tough job for severalyears—because he has worked hard to write theFraternity's financial story in black ink. Likeall of us, George has an aversion to Red inmore ways than one.During these recent years of spiralling operatingcosts, however, neither hard work noreconomy minded corner cutting nor an aversionto red ink have been enough to keep itout of our ledgers. The reason is simple. PhiDelta Theta's principal source of income isfrom the $40 fee each man pays at the time ofinitiation—the only payment a Phi is everrequired to make to the General Fraternity.In spite of the fact that this has long been inthe very lowest bracket of fees among all fraternitiesand was set many years ago—it hasnot been increased.One of the reasons it has not been raised isTreasurer George Ward who has resisted itvigorously with the full support of his brotherofficers on the G.C. They all concur in thehope that "it will never be impossible for apoor boy to be a Phi if he is willing to make a small sacrifice." And while we allagree with this sentiment, the problem of expanding the Fraternity's income to meetexisting needs remains with us.Brother Ward is pinning his hopes on development of the annual appeal forvoluntary alumni contributions. Support of this solicitation is growing; the response,increased from 2,559 in 1949 to 3,189 in 1950, and this is encouraging but it is still notsufficient to meet our needs. 10,000 contributors are neededlRealization of this goal does not seem unreasonable when it is remembered thata gift of $2 or more distinguishes you as a "Contributing Alumnus." The annualsolicitation for voluntary alumni support is now under way. Your contributions aretruly needed more than ever as the Fraternity faces the further loss of income whichwill result from depleted male enrollments in our colleges and universities.Don't brush it off this year. Brother Phis—knowing that you can and should help—with the old "Let George Do It" attitude. You'll find there's real satisfaction injoining and saying, "Let's HELP George Do It!"—H.S.B.

KENNETH BALLINQER, Ohio WesleyanWITH all of the members of the GeneralCouncil in attendance andwith just the right degree of pomp andceremony, Florida Gamma of Phi DeltaTheta came into being on the campusof Florida State University on Saturday,January 13. When President George E.Housser, McGill-Cornell '06, handed thecharter, Bond and other official implementsof fraternity activity to CharlesS. Chowning as president of the localBeta Phi, the 113th link was officiallyforged to the chain of chapters whichcomprise our international brotherhood.Florida Gamma springs from the localsociety Beta Phi, which had been organizedat Florida State in 1947 with theexpress purpose of petitioningfor a * A 0charter. Beta Phi wasorganized by Phis fromseveral chapters of theFraternity and washeaded during its lastyear by BrotherChowning, who signedthe Bond at IndianaEpsilon. At the time ofthe installation. BetaPhi was a strong localgroup of 24 activemembers and seventeenpledges. It becomesthe ninth nationalfraternity chapteron the campus ofSON PINS FATHERJim Martin of Florida Alpha proudlyplaces badge on his father, G. HaroldMartin who was initiated into FloridaGamma at installation on January 12.[259]'a3Florida State, since that institution wasmade coeducational in 1947. Beta Phiworked under a severe handicap, becauseit was formed at the same time as all theother locals, but due to the stricterstandards of $ A 0, had to prove itselfand therefore had to remain local formore than two years.The General Council had come toFlorida earlier in the week for its firstofficial meeting in our state, and was insession almost constantly for three days atthe Roosevelt Hotel in Jacksonville.There they took time out to attend theFounders Day dinner of the JacksonvilleAlumni Club and on Thursday, January11, Brother Frank S. Wright, Florida '25,Member-at-Large ofthe General Council,proudly led his colleaguesonto thecampus at Tallahassee.Then followed twodays of ceremony andcelebration.To Tallahassee alsocame Paul C.

ThroughoutFriday and Saturday, the initiation ceremonieshad been carried on, partly in thechapter house on West Jefferson Street,and partly in one of the university buildings.As a concluding part of the installation.President Chowning presented ahousemother's pin to Mrs. J. W. Sealey,who has presided over the Beta Phihouse during the past year.President George E. Housser of theGeneral Council gave the main addressat the banquet Saturday night. It was atalk filled with meaning for the newmembers. It brought back to many oldgrads as well the full significance of thefraternity spirit, how * A 0 alone wasfounded in Miami by a group interestedonly in friendship and in perpetuatingthat ideal through their lives. It gave agrand climax to a splendid program.Dr. Doak S. Campbell, President of theuniversity, also gave a stirring address inwhich he declared his confidence in thefraternity system and his pleasure at having$ A 0 as a strong student organizationon his campus.James T. Landon, Florida '33, statehotel commissioner, presided at thebanquet. Two special events highlightedthe meal. Brother W. S. Cawthorne,former state superintendent of public instructionfor Florida and a member ofold Alabama Gamma in the class of '97,was presented to his younger brothersand formally inducted into the GoldenLegion after 58 years of membership in*A0. And the local club, expressing agenuine feeling of devotion to BrotherWright, gave him a silver goblet and anappropriate testimonial speech to let himknow that they appreciated the trulysignificant work he had done in helpingto get Beta Phi accepted by # A 0.Florida Gamma's big weekend wastopped off by the installation ball onSaturday night following the banquet.The American Legion Club was cleverlydecorated in a Panhellenic-Interfraternitymotif and here, in a spirit of friendshipand cordiality, Florida Gammaplayed host to its Greek Colleagues andmade its first official bow as a cohesive,constructive factor in the campus life ofFlorida State University.

Butthere was a time when Charles Kingsley(King) Woodbridge, Dartmouth '04, theson of a New England minister foundthe cold room of an inexpensive NewHampshire hotel a palace while restingovernight from his salesman's beat.Now top man of Dictaphone Corporation,he still retains many of the mannerismsof the born Yankee, but his variedexperience in doctoring sick or tiredcorporations has given to his personalitya national, and sometimes international,flavor."King" was a name he acquired whileattending Dartmouth. The salary of aminister at the turn of the century didnot provide for a son's college tuition;so the young man did it the hard way.But the honors bestowed by his collegemateswere such as appear obvious fromhis later life.Carving a niche for one's self in thebusiness world just after the panic of1904 was no simple task. So young Woodbridgejumped into the then buddingfields of sales and advertising. He's nowone of many who pioneered in that infantsegment of business which laterproved a major adjunct to any undertaking.And, he's one of a long list of today'scorporation leaders whose "teething" experiencecame in the early days of the artof combining advertising and selling.Starting in the advertising departmentof a Poughkeepsie, N.

NORMAN•DAMONRecognized Pioneerand Pacemakerin Highway SafetyHarris ir EwingNORMAN DAMON, Michigan '22Vice-President Automotive Safety Foundation,devotes life to work in traffic safety.ARECENT accolade in Look Magazinefocused national attention onthe achievements of a brother Phi—NormanDamon, Michigan 'ig. Last September,in its "Look Applauds" section, themagazine cited Brother Damon's lifelongwork in traffic safety.Safety was an occupational accidentwith Norm. What began nearly a quartercentury ago as a minor chore connectedwith the automobile trade associationwork in which he was then engaged,grew into a full-fledged career that hasraade him one of the best-known safetyleaders in the United States.Norm started out as a fugitive fromthe corn rows of his native farm atGerry, New York. No sooner had helatched onto his high school diplomathan he headed for the big city. Hisfirst job, like virtually every one' he hasheld since, was in the field of transportation.He became a stenographerwith the Adams Express Company inManhattan.The company offic;es were right on thedocks, in a building with a huge foghornon the roof. On days when the[276]harbor was shrouded with mist and thehorn going full blast, his employer, beinghard of hearing, would delegate himto take shipping orders over the phone.Meanwhile the boss would sit on theother side of the desk bellowing instructionsabove the din. After awhile thisgot to be pretty nerve-racking, so Normlit out to find another job. He quicklylanded one that he thought would speedhis upward progress—with an elevatorcompany.That was in 1917, when Washington,D.C, was becoming a beehive o£ waractivities and the Promised Land offascinating jobs. Norm's dynamic natureinevitably drew him to the nation'scapital, where he obtained a position inthe stenographic pool of the Council ofNational Defense. The young lady incharge, named Madeleine Hoag, appealedto him so much that he decidedto make her his boss for life. Normmarried her a few years later, therebypulling a neat switch on the "she marriedher boss" theme of the movies.Roy D. Chapin, Michigan 03, presidentof the Hudson Motor Car Company,had just been called to Washingtonto organize and head up a HighwayTransport Committee within the frameworkof the Council. One day Norm wasassigned to take dictation from the automobilemagnate. In true Alger herostyle, he caught Brother Chapin's fancy,and forthwith became his personal secretary.

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for March, 1951 277The function of the Highway TransportCommittee was to expedite themovement of trucks, carrying war materialsand supplies, from Detroit to theEastern seaboard for shipment overseas.Frequently whole convoys of trucksbogged down in the mud sloughs thatwent by the name of roads in those days.Norm's experience with the Committeeleft two indelible impressions—one, thepotential importance of truck transportationto the nation's economy and securityand second, the vital need of betterroads.Young Damon's career next took amilitary turn. He joined the Navy, andhe affirms he lost no ground, becauseduring his service he advanced all theway from apprentice seaman to seamansecond class.When he put his bell-bottomed trousersaway in the Spring of 19 ig, he wentto Detroit as secretary to Mr. Chapin atthe Hudson Company. Mr. Chapin decidedhis bright young man could standa little college polish, and prevailedupon him to enroll at the University ofMichigan. The pioneer auto maker's interestin Norm was so great that he personallydrove him out to introduce himto the men in Michigan Alpha chapterat Ann Arbor. Among the classmateswith whom Norm became good friendswas another enterprising young farm boy—one Thomas E. Dewey.Norm was determined to get throughcollege as soon as possible and was irkedthat the authorities would not let himtake as many hours of study as hewanted. He figured out all the anglesand came up with a solution. He securedfrom the University seven hours of credit•for his military training, and attendedtwo summer sessions, thus enabling himto complete requirements for his A.B.degree in three years. In his last yearNorm served as Steward of the chapter.He recalls that one of his summercourses was in geology and that it includeda study trip on a riverboat. Onenight on the Tennessee River the boatsank, forcing the 20 members of the classto hire a mule train to get back to civilization.Norm felt that this adventure entitledhim to at least a couple of morecredits—one each in water and muletransportation.Incidentally, he says that the only Agrades he received in college were inhighway transportation.Norm first learned to drive a carwhen, after graduation, he returned towork with Brother Chapin. On one occasion,a company executive wanted tobe driven to a business appointment.Norm had a rudimentary knowledge ofoperating a Model T, but had neverhandled a gear-shift automobile. However,he confidently took the wheel andgot his passenger safely to his destination.The only untoward incident waswhen Norm discovered he had driven allthe way with the hand brake on.In 1922, Norm became assistant tothe Washington representative of theAutomobile Manufacturers Association,who happened to be Pyke Johnson, nowpresident of the Automotive SafetyFoundation. It was in this capacity thatNorm got his feet wet in the organizedhighway safety movement. U. S. Secretaryof Commerce Herbert Hoover in1924 called the first National Conferenceon Street and Highway Safety, andNorm was asked to serve as secretary onone of the committees. He has been asafety crusader ever since.In the early 'thirties he became secretaryto the AMA Safety Committee, ofwhich Paul Hoffman was then chairman.Up to that time, the traffic safety interestof the automobile industry was limitedto this nominal committee and Mr. Hoffman'spersonal efforts in behalf of theHarvard Bureau of Street Traffic Research,forerunner of the Yale Bureau.Then in 1935, when the traffic tollreached a new high of 36,000 deaths,J. C. Furnas tossed a bomb into publiccomplacency with his blood-curdlingarticle, "And Sudden Death." Millionsof reprints of the piece were distributed,

878 The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for March, 1951newspapers across the land picked upthe theme. The Detroit Daily News rana front page editorial headlined "Stopthe Automobile Slaughter!"The repercussions stimulated the industryinto action. The AMA Board ofDirectors called on the Safety Committeefor recommendations, and the principalone made called for a full-timestaff to administer a positive safety program.The step was approved by theBoard, and Mr. Hoffman urged AlfredReeves, AMA general manager, to putthe new safety department in charge ofNorman Damon. It was Reeves whoonce said of Damon:"Norm has a dozen ideas a minute.Eleven of them are not worth a damn,but the twelfth is usually worth a million."Norm got the job, and on June 2,1937, the program really got under waywith the organization of the AutomotiveSafety Foundation. Its main objective,then as now, was to provide the sinewsof war to accredited organizations withthe know-how to fight traffic accidents.As the Foundation's first director. Normbecame in effect the industry's troubleshooterin the traffic safety field.One of his chief difficulties was to disabusesome folks of the idea that he wasSanta Claus. As diplomatically as possible,he had to screen out the numerouscranks and screwballs, and figure outways to meet requests for ten times theamount of money in his budget.Principal achievement during thoseyears was the cooperative work of theFoundation and a dozen other nationalorganizations in the development of theStandard Highway Safety Program forStates.Since 1942, when the Foundation wasreorganized to include highway developmentin addition to safety activities.Norm has been its vice president and directorof the grant program.There is general agreement among hiscolleagues and friends that the remarkableprogress made in recent years in theprofessional training of traffic personnelstands largely as a monument to hisvision and untiring efforts. He was afounder and sparkplug of the NationalCommittee for Traffic Training and theNational Committee for Fleet SupervisorTraining.Currently he is chairman of the Committeeon Economic Costs of MotorVehicle Accidents, Highway ResearchBoard; consultant to the President'sHighway Safety Conference; chairmanof the National Committee for TrafficTraining; a member of the Traffic andTransportation Conference and the NationalSafety Council. He is also a memberof the American Society of SafetyEngineers, an associate member of theSociety of Automotive Engineers, an affiliateof the Institute of Traffic Engineers,an honorary member of the InternationalAssociation of Chiefs of Policeand an honorary life member of the NationalSheriff's Association.His hobbies include gin rummy, golf,fishing, and joining in whatever theother fellow likes to do, providing hecan get a small wager on the side and asuitable handicap. At golf, he rarelybreaks 100 going down, which explainswhy he has to win his bets on the firsttee. To make sure that he does win, hecustomarily disconcerts his opponents byswinging from the port side.He is probably the only fishermanwho was ever hooked by a fish. Not longago on a vacation at Balsam Lake, Wisconsin,he hooked a small but legalsized(he claims) bass, which forthwithretaliated by leaping up and snaggingthe hook into his thumb.He has three sons, all bigger than himself,so that now he has to wait for a"grandson to have somebody he can lick.One of the most cherished mementoesof his many years of labor for the conservationof life and limb is a photographgiven to him by Paul Hoffman,with this simple inscription: "To NormanDamon, pioneer and pacemaker inhighway safety."

The new Assistant has behindhim an eighteen month hitch as a sergeantin the Army Signal Corps withAlaskan service to his credit so it willbecome immediately obvious that he hasbeen around and seen a few places.Richfield Springs, New York, Wayne'shome town, seems to grow them hale,hearty and 'handsome as the accompanyingpicture will prove. Although Wayneis too modest to say so, we have a hunchthat his impressive list of high schoolactivities entitled him to the accolade of"The Man Most Likely to Succeed" inhis 1945 graduating class. These activities,in wide variety, were continued duringBrother Davis' college career atUnion where he became News Editor ofthe college newspaper; took a whirl atvarsity tennis competition, and took anactive part in the Pre-law Society.Brother Davis' time will be almost entirelyoccupied in chapter visitationwork in $ A 0's broad domain.

A Corner With Phi AuthorsCrowds and Queues and Coffee Nerves, by GEORGE E. BOOKER, III, Randolph-Macon '21. Dietz Press, Richmond, Va. Heroism and Romance—Early Methodismin Northeastern Pennsylvania, by the Rev. Louis D. PALMER, Syracuse 'oi.Essays Comment on Some ofLife's Lesser ProblemsFor those of us who remember themore leisurely days of the pre-World WarII era and resent the hustling and crowdingof this post-war period, Crowds andQueues and, Coffee Nerves, by George E.Booker, III, Randolph-Macon '21, servesas a refreshing expression of our opinions.More erudite than most such expressions—Mr. Booker is never at a loss in applyingapt classical allusions. The problemsof the maid's departure, shopping at thesupermarket, car trouble, crowded lunchhours, are treated with a dry humor thathas in it certain qualities of British restraintand yet retains the universalAmerican ability to make fun of one'sselfEach of nine of the ten essays whichcomprise this volume is devoted to a specificproblem, but it is the tenth, a collectionof short dissertations entitled "ThisThing Called the Post-War Period," overwhich most readers will chuckle sympathetically.To quote Mr. Booker on thesubject of some of these minor inconveniencesbut major irritations:. "It is theresolve to live within your budget buteach trip to the neighbourhood grocerystore it becomes increasingly evident thatthe resolution is more honoured in thebreach than in the observance. . . ." "It isconverting to what you think are the comfortsof oil after many years of fidelity tocoal and . . . the oil shortage appears onthe horizon at the coldest period."Brother Booker, a graduate in law fromRan4olph-Macon, who practices in Richmond,Va., says in his foreword to thisslim book, that as an escape from the lawhe has attempted to tell something ofsome of life's lesser problems. They maybe "lesser," but also typically American,they make enjoyable reading.[ago]Phi Preacher for 58 YearsAuthors Historical BookThe Rev.

Hewas then 22 and it was more than fouryears before he entered college. While atSyracuse University he continued hisministerial work commuting each weekto his charge.He became a Phi at New York Epsilonon Oct. 15, 1897, and thus, in 1947, becamea Golden Legionnaire. While inthe active chapter he served for threeyears as house manager. He was a mostloyal and devoted Phi and through hisable handling of chapter business setaside a fund as the nucleus of a homeof its own for New York Epsilon. Thisfund grew annually from Chapter savingsand the elegant new home occupiedby the chapter today is the outgrowthof the plan inaugurated byBrother Palmer over a half century ago.During his ministerial career BrotherPalmer had a sort of hobby which he followedwith keen interest. It consistedof making notes of observations ofabsorbing incidents which came to hisattention as he went about his pastoralwork. For the past 35 years he kept thesenotes carefully adding to them at intervalsas well as he could. He first consideredusing the information thusgathered as the basis of a thesis for aMaster of Arts degree and took somesteps to carry out such a plan. He did notcomplete his original idea, however, butinstead continued on a broader and morecomprehensive plan than at first contemplated.The climax of his observationsand studies came recently in thepublication of a 275 page book entitled^

Hetraces the origin and growth of Methodismin northeastern Pennsylvania wherehe spent most of his active years as aMethodist minister. He treats o£ theIndian troubles, the Yankee-PennamiteWar, and that phase of the AmericanRevolution that involved the Wyomingmassacre. He also discusses the political,economic, moral and religious conditionsof the late i8th and the early 19thcenturies. He particularly emphasizes thefact that in planting Methodism in thisarea a layman led the way. That man wasAnning Owen who, on escaping from themassacre, made a vow to God to live adedicated life. That vow was fulfilled tenyears later when he returned to Wyomingand began evangelistic work amonghis neighbors in addition to his dailywork as a blacksmith. Thus was startedthe first Methodist "Society" in thiswhole region by, one man's personalefforts. A most fascinating story of difficultiesovercome and of achievements attainedby this man and by those whomhe rallied to his support under most tryingprimitive conditions is told in anabsorbing and interesting manner by'thisPhi author.During his College years at SyracuseBrother Palmer was active in Christianwork and served two years as Treasurerof the College Y.M.C.A. and as VicePresident during his Senior year.

It is believed that as soon as the standingsare posted California Alpha will be much higher-on the list than the previous semester. Athleticallywe did well considering our depleted ranks. We tookthe intramural basketball' championship and placedfourth in total team standings. In the universitypicture we were represented on the varsity football.and basketball teams by Tom Greenleaf. FreshmenDon Whyte and Charlie Martucci made the froshfootball eleven while Dick Tamberg was a firststringer in" frosh basketball. California Alpha heldthe annual Miami Triad with the Betas and SigmaChis in January and it was considered one of thehighhghts of the campus social season.

With the advent ofwarm weather and the resultant Spring sports, the"Chapter down on the Farm" finds itself well representedin campus athletics. One of the most ableof the varsity swimmers is Pete "Turk" Cole. Peteis one of the nation's best 220-yd. and 440-yd. freestylers,gaining that recognition by placing in theNCAA, PCC, and the NAAU races last year. Withhim -on the swimming squad is another Phi, AshJones, who is number one breaststroker on the varsity.Stanford's orphan crew has two men from the houseon the varsity team, Frank Jameson, coxswain, andBill Meyer, who rows in the number five seat.

As wasexpected by many Nebraskans, Charlie Toogood recdvedthe Tom Novak award for being the outstandingsenior player on the Gornhusker football squadof 1950. Charlie truly finished his last year of collegecompetition in great style as he showed himself to beone of the outstanding linemen of the country inthe East-West game in San Frandsco. As a result ofhis fine play throughout his college career, the All-Phi tackle was picked as number three man on theL(K Angdes Rams draft list of thirty players. Anothermember of the 1950 squad to receive commendationfrom the coaches was Tony Winey. BobDavis, backfield coach, praised the defensive play ofthe Sophomore letterman during the past season.

After much work and concerted effort bythe actives, the chapter room was completely transformedinto party decor with a Grecian temple asmotif. The room was lined with tall grey Doriccolumns against a deep blue background, with outlinesof Grecian statuary between the columns. Alarge, silver and blue * A 6 crest, was strikinglyframed at the head of the room, and effectively setoff with indirect lighting. Miniature mugs with crestand party data were given as favors to the girls attending.The party was a huge success and a goodtime was had by all. The weekend of the McGillWinter Carnival, February 16-18 was a memorableone with cocktail parties, dances, snow sculpture,skiing and other Winter sports getting us all intoCarnival spirit. Many of the brothers headed northto the Laurentians on the Carnival Excursion trainand enjoyed the skiing and social life of St. Sauveur.Crain raced for McGill in the Downhill and Slalomevents, and Mike Crombie ran in the cross-countryevent. The gala Forum Ice Show and hockey gamesaw Phis to the fore again as MacLellan in nets,Appleby and Robertson on defense, and Knutson andDuke on the forward waU, did yeoman work for theMcGill Redmen in their game against University ofMontreal. Robertson, McGowan and Knutson are allsigned to the Montreal Canadiens negotiation listsand look like good prospects for professional hockeyat the termination of their college playing days. The.Annual Initiates Banquet was held at the QueensHotel in Montreal. This has always been a high spotin the chapter social' program, and a good opportunityfor Phis old and new to get together tomake and renew acquaintances. A large number ofalumni were present and the party lasted on intothe night. Unfortunatdy the Annual Banquet alwaysreminds us that the school year is drawing swiftlyto a dose, and many of the brothers make it theirlast smash before they disappear under piles of booksto prepare for the April finals. In the meantime, the"Big Blue Machine" rolls right along.

At the present time we areon top of the standings in basketball and in bowling—the only two being run at this time. It looks as ifwe stand a pretty fair chance of keeping the interfraternitytrophy for another year. The mass hysteriathat followed Christmas vacation with regard toselective service and impending draft calls was certainlyfelt by the South Dakota House of Phi. Duringthe course of one week over twenty men hadenlisted in various brandies of the services to avoidbeing called. This was, of course, before the proclamationby General Marshall concerning eligibilityfor draft of men in school. Nebraska Alpha—26strong—came down the first part of February for ourannual tussle on the basketball court. Last year SouthDakota came home with the handsome trophy—thisyear Nebraska took it back with them as a resultof dropping us 52-49. The trophy inddentally is anold Vinegar jug with a gold statuette adorning thetop that appears to be just a little on the feminineside.

We will take careVITEBSK WAS NEVER LIKE THISJulius Wolkow, Texas Delta's "Displaced Studenflikes it at SM'.U.of him—provide his food, clothing, housing, andspending money—for at least a year from thedate of his arrival. And S.M.U. is cooperatingby giving him free tuition.In Engineering SchoolWolkow arrived in Dallas, October 17, after atwo-week voyage from Bremerhaven, Germany,to New Orleans, changing there to a train forthe remainder of the trip. Since the FaU semesterwas already well under way, he worked andstudied until February, when he enrolled in theSchool of Engineering. His jobs induded workingon a construction crew and maintaining theyard at the home of the University Chaplain,Dr. George Baker, Jr. In his spare time he reviewedhis high school books and notes andbecame acquainted with the Phis and withAmerican customs. .Julius says he was quickly impressed withAmerican people. His own words are, 'T wasastonished at the friendliness; I never knew itwould be so in America." And the Phis likedhim from the start too. Although the fraternityhouse had a full number of occupants when hefirst came, two of the brothers gladly sharedtheir room with Wolkow until a vacancy for himappeared in another room. Wolkow eats at thehouse with the members and Phikeias and frequentlyengages one of them in chess, one ofhis favorite games. He enjoys an occasionalmovie and even takes in some of the chapterparties.^Refused to Return to RussiaJulius considers himself very fortunate to bein America. A native of Vitebsk, White Russia,he lived for four years under the rule of theGermans, who conquered his city in 1941 whenhe was only eleven. Three years later he was'taken away from home by the Germans andplaced on the front lines digging ditches. Soonafterward the Germans put him in a laborcahip, and finally made him work in an aircraftfactory. After his liberation in 1945, the Russiansattempted to get him to return to Russia.But he had not liked the conditions in Russia,and he knew he would be ill-treated if he returned.So somehow he managed to get fakePolish papers, and these enabled him to stay outsidethe Iron Curtain. He finished high schoolin Munich and applied for permission to cometo this country as a displaced student.Although he had only one year of English inschool, Wolkow has studied the language a greatdeal on his own, and he is learning it first-handrapidly. He also speaks five other languages-White Russian, Russian, German, Polish, andCzechoslovakian.Along with chess Julius particular likes toplay volleyball and the mandolin. His favoritesubjects are mathematics and history. He ismajoring in electrical engineering and wantsto stay in America after graduation.Texas Delta is proud to be helping a foreignstudent get a college education in the UnitedStates. We hope that our efforts will give Juliussomething that will be of great value to him.

Due to the seriousness of the world situationat present, the chapter has decided not to continuewith their plans for a new house. This willprobably end all chances for Wyoming Alpha to see anew house for the next five years, but the responsibihtiesinvolved were found to he out of the questionat this period of emergency. Nevertheless therealization of this goal will still be kept very muchin mind by the chapter, and the completed plans areon Jle.

I have not since recommendedoutstanding prospects to these chapters as Iwill NOT chance being placed in that position again.I have an exception to the above situation whichdeserves comment and credit, to-wit: the Phi DdtaTheta chapter at the University of Peimsylvania. Thisfall I wrote their rushing chairman about a boy froma smaU town in Iowa (not just another boy, but outstanding).The rushing chairman wrote me a fine letterof promise and appreciation. I was so proud of theletter I forwarded same to the family oE the boy.Upon his arrival at the Univeisity he was invited overand given a warm and hearty welcome. The fellowdid not pledge Phi Delt, but he respects them highlyand feels warmly toward them. I am sincerdy appreciativefor the respect and courtesy extended me intheir writing and rushing this lad. My hat is off totheir rushing chairman and to the fraternity as awhole.We alums do not insist our recommended boys bepledged, but merely a letter of thanks and the courtesyextended to the boys. If this in itself were done Ifeel our alum clubs would be stronger and the localchapters richerl—JAMES J. JOHNSTON, lowf '45.« • •"Brother Alumnus Has a Son" is very timely. I too,know the anxiety of a father who has been a Phi,that his son may enjoy the fellowship of his Fraternitywhich has meant so much to him. This anxiety mightlead us to a course of action that might not be forthe best interest of our sons or that of the Fraternityat large. I wiU give a personal experience along thatline. At the time my older son was about ready forthe University the above was a problem for me'todecide. He knew that I was a Phi Delt. While hedidn't say so then, I know now that he would havebeen glad to have me put in a suggestion that hewould like to be a member of my Fraternity. Hishappiness and wdl being at the University was, ofcourse, my chief aim. I knew he had a friend who wasa member of a brother fraternity and I felt my sonmight be happier in the fraternity in which his friendwas enrolled. Since leaving the University, my sonhas confided to me how anxious he was that I shouldmake advances for him to the Phi Ddts. many ofwhom became his intimate friends while at the Uni^versity. Associations with his own fraternity were verypleasant but even yet he speaks of his early yearningto be a Phi Delt. I am writing this as my contributionto "Brother Alumnus Has a Son." (Name withheld—ED.)... It has always been my opinion that the best PhiDelt prospect was a relative. Not that it naturaUy followsthat we shoidd rush and pledge aU such, but inthe main, the ideals which make Phi Ddta Theta dearto us, most naturally are passed on to ouV sons, nephews,etc.It was with a great deal of pleasure, that I drovemy son to the Washington Gamma chapter house fora pre-rush stay of one day and night, last September.I also made it a point to take his best pal with himin response to a telegram from Bro. Bob HiUbert,Pres. of Wash. Gamma. Previous to this trip, we hadmade sure that the local alumni were well acquaintedwith these boys as well as two other outstanding prospectsfrom here. . . . The boys were all unanimouslyendorsed and three of them pledged Phi Delt. Thefourth one had a scholarship and has not pledged afraternity.To some it might seem that this was using pressureon the group at Washington Gamma. As a matter offact, the exact opposite is true. We merely indoctrinatedthe boys as far as * A 0 was concerned, andtold the active chapter the various qualifications of theboys. The chapter in turn was able to evaluate thequalifications and then dedde how the feUows wouldfit into the group. It was not necessary to make snapjudgment and they were saved a good deal of investigation.I personally bent over backwards and told thechapter that they were to pledge on merit and mutualdesire. The fact that I was a Phi should not influencethem in their final decision. My son Lee, was espedallyanxious that I return home immediatdy so that thefeUows would not he influenced by me. He wanted to"make it on his own." None of us wrote again duringrush as we felt that we had done our part.After rush week, my son told me that he had likedseveral of the feUows in the other fraternities but heliked all the Phi Delts. He also told me that we werein danger of losing one of the others to the Betas.I shaU always bdieve that the activity of our localalumni chapter was probably the deciding factor ingetting this boy. He is now very happy with hischoice and I fed sure that he will bring honor to thefraternity and pleasure to himself through his affiUation.. . —N. HAROLD SORENSON, Washington State '23.

Minding God's Businessand Our OwnBy DR. RALPH W. SOCKMAN, Ohio Wesleyan 'iiMinister, Christ Church Methodist, New Yorii City,and National Radio PulpitJOSEPH AND MARY had made their annual pilgrimageto the Passover Feast at Jerusalem. On thistrip, the twelve-year-old Jesus tarried behind themin the temple. The parents did not note his absence from their group until theyhad gone a day's journey on the return trip. Then they became alarmed andstarted to search for him. They found him iri the temple, in the midst of the scribesand scholars, both listening and asking questions.Mary, very naturally feeling that her maternal anxiety should have been considered,said: "Why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold, thy father and I havesought thee sorrowing." Then it was that Jesus answered: "How is it that ye soughtme? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"The first fact in this situation which strikes me is this: Our own business ispart of God's business. Here in the temple the twelve-year-old Jesus felt himselfabout his Heavenly Father's business. According to the gospel record, he wentback to Nazareth and worked the next eighteen years in'the carpenter shop untilhe left to go forth as a teacher and healer. But from the beginning to the end,at the carpenter's bench or in the synagogue, Jesus, in my opinion, felt that hewas about God's business. / do not believe that Jesus made the distinctions betweensecular and sacred, which we so commonly make.We divide our occupations and say that the minister of a church is in a sacredcalling while the merchant or the lawyer is said to be in secular work. / do notthink that is a valid differentiation. What makes work either secular or sacred isthe spirit in which it is done.Jesus was not ordained by any ecclesiastical organization. Jesus did not set hisfollowers apzirt from the world. When he prayed for them he said: "I pray notthat thou shouldst take them out of the world but that thou shouldst keep themfrom the evil one."Saint Paul caught Christ's spirit when he said to his comrades "Ye shall be menin the world but not of the world." Jesus had no ascetic aloofness from men; hemingled with them as a carpenter, a fellow guest, a comrade in their daily activities.Jesus did not use the pious words of the scribes; he talked the language olthe men on the street, about lost coins, and lost sheep, and business agents whobroke contracts. Jesus did not stay in the precincts of the synagogue; He went outand dined with publicaiis and talked with people at the village well and toldthem that God is a spirit and can be worshipped in spirit wherever they might be.Jesus sent his disciples out into the world to be "the salt of the earth," sweeteningand preserving life that it might be worth living.Jesus appeared at a time when the organized church (Continued on page jji)(Reprinted from The Red Barrel, Coca-Cola Co.

We thinkyou will like it too, when you try it,and if you should like to drop a noteof comment on the service or rates, forexample, to the Chairman of the Boardor the President—doso. And in either case,begin your letter: DearBrother....That's right. TheChairman is Merrel P.Callaway, Mercer '98,who had also beenacting as an interimpresident until Januaryig when, he announcedthe electionof Ben J.

In1948 the company was reorganizedand he becameits Board Chairman.It is interesting to note that the newPresident of the Central is a man whosegrandfather helped, build the road, comingfrom M.I.T. in the 1830's to takepart in the survey and construction ofthe line from Savannah to Macon.Brother Tarbutton'sfamily has been a factorin the progress ofGeorgia from that timeand he has added muchto the luster of this recordas industrialist andleader in civic andpolitical affairs.Today the Centralis a power in Georgia,due principally to theaforementioned leadershipof Brother Callaway,a member of anotherof the greatfamilies of the Southand, incidentally, of* A ®.

George Housser IsFirst Canadian ToServe As P.G.C.By RAY L. GARDNER, Washington'i8(President of Pi Province)IT IS entirely fitting during thesetrying and troublous times that# A 0 should have a Canadian, the firstto be so honored, as President of theGeneral Council. George E. Housser,McGill-Cornell '06, hardly needs anintroduction to the members of our Fraternitybecause he has made himself sowell known to them through his ableand energetic service for many years.Brothel: Housser was born in Winnipeg,Manitoba, on August 19, 1884.When he was five years of age, his familymoved to Portage la Prairie in Manitoba,where he dimly remembers the Red Riverox teams moving freight into the greatnorthwest country before the coming ofthe railroad. He finished his early schoolingin this locality and then went toMontreal where he enrolled in 1902 atMcGill University. Four years later hegraduated with an A.B. degree and thefollowing fall entered Cornell Universityfor a postgraduate course in Economicsand Political Science, from which heultimately emerged with a Master's degree.During his four years at McGill,Housser was a hard-working member ofQuebec Alpha after he was. initiated onDecember 5, 1903, the twenty-fourth manto be inducted into this chapter—theoldest of # A 0's Canadian branches. Ithad been installed in April of 1902 sohe became a Phi when Quebec Alphawas only a little more than a year old.As an undergraduate at McGill, heserved for two years as reporter and wasa delegate from his chapter to a ProvinceConvention.After transferring from McGill to Cor-[3641GEORGE E. HOUSSER, McGill-Cornell '06A great Phi and a strong leader.nell for his graduate work. BrotherHousser affiliated with New York Alphaon October 20, 1906. He served as analternate delegate of this chapter to theWashington Convention in 1906.After leaving Cornell, George Housserhad an excellent education behind himbut his financial status was at a verylow ebb and he went out into the worldto seek his fortune. Apparently out tomake what we now call a "fast buck"he found himself in Mexico workingon a sugar plantation—for a relativelyshort time. Short—because he was chasedout by bandits under the leadership ofZapata. George did not relish this experiencetoo much so homeward to thefar North he journeyed-again broke andno doubt hungry.At this time in his life he made thewise decision to study law, and accordinglyentered the University of BritishColumbia in Vancouver in 1908. Hepassed the bar examinations in 1911and became a partner in the law firm ofWilliams, Walsh, McKinis and Housser,which firm in 1928 amalgamated withTucker & Bull, Barristers and Solicitors.At the present time Brother Housser is

The SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for May, \gf,\ 365a senior partner in a legal firm with thepretentious name of Bull, Housser, Tupper,Roy, Guy and Merritt. Exemplificationof his high standing in his chosenprofession is his appointment as a King'sCounsel in 1944, the highest honor inthe legal field in Canada.George returned to his former greatinterest in Fraternity work in 1930 andfor this happy turn in events we canthank the late Charles Caches, P.P.G.C.It was largely through the efforts ofBrother Housser that the General Conventionof #A® at Detroit in 1930 approvedthe application for charters forchapters at the University of Alberta, theUniversity of British Columbia, the Universityof Manitoba, and Dalhousie University.He was the representative of theVancouver Alumni Club at this conventionand was chief sponsor for the petitionsof the four Canadian institutions.The fact that the vote on all four chapterswas practically unanimous is evidence ofthe splendid impression that he made.With the installation of British ColumbiaAlpha in the fall of 1930, he becamethe chapter's advisor. His work inthis capacity was outstanding and wascapped in 1934 by his appointment asPresident of Pi Province, He served in'this post until 1942 when he was electedto the General Council of the Fraternityat the Chicago Convention. He servedas a Member-at-Large on the Council,being re-elected at the Conventions of1946 and 1948 until last fall—again atChicago—he was elevated to the presidencyof the General Council by unanimousacclamation.Brother Housser married Nan Kennedyin 1912 and from this happy marriagethere sprang seven children, fiveboys and two girls. The three eldest boys—Beynon, Harry, and David—are allPhis, members of British Columbia Alpha.The youngest son entered the Navyand did not attend college. Two ofGeorge's brothers-in-law are Phis as aretwo nephews, one of the latter beingJohn Kennedy who is now AssistantPresident of Alpha Province. Mrs. Housserdied in 1933 and in 1945 BrotherHousser married Dorothy Fee, a mostdelightful and charming helpmate. Hisstepson, Tom Fee, is a Phi from BritishColumbia Alpha, class of '47, and hisdaughters, Nancy and Doo, are bothKappas, as are his two daughters-in-law.One might say that Brother Housserindeed has a splendid Greek letter backgroundin his family.President Housser has traveled extensivelythroughout the United Statesand Canada and has the distinction ofhaving visited every State Capital inthe United States. He is a storehouse ofhistorical knowledge of both the UnitedStates and Canada, and delights his intimateswith unheard-of tales and adventuresof historical character.It is the writer's prediction thatBrother Housser will bring great creditto himself and to $ A 0 during his twoyears as President of the General Council.Brother Phi, Have You Helped?We mean, of course—Have you helped in the Voluntary Alumni Contribution campaignthat has been in process since March? You can see the results—to date^by turning topage 380. You'll find that a little more than ?i 3,000 has been contributed, which isn'tbad. But you'll also find that this amount has been contributed by just 2700 Phis, whichisn't good. 2700 out of 72,773!The Fraternity needs funds now more than ever before. If you haven't chipped inwith a couple of bucks, won't you do it now?

Phi Heads Fast Growing Wilkes CollegeBy DR. CHARLES B. REIF, Minnesota '34Professor of Biology, Wilkes CollegeDR. EUGENE S. FARLEY, Penn State '21President of Wilkes CollegeIN 1947 Eugene Sheddon Farley, PennState '21, was inaugurated as the firstpresident of newly-chartered Wilkes Collegewhich had evolved in little over adecade froni a humble beginning asBucknell University Junior College. Thestory of Wilkes College and its developmentis practically the story of BrotherFarley who became director of thejunior college in 1936 when the enrollmentwas about two hundred. Plans fora permanent college in Wilkes-Barrewere envisioned by Dr. Farley as early as1938. He won the support of progressivecitizens, and with encouragement fromBucknell University quietly laid thegroundwork of academic and financialindependence.The war years were lean years for thejunior college. However, during 1943and 1944 a contingent of Air Crew studentswas stationed at the college andthat, linked with the unswerving lead-[366]ership of Brother Farley, saw the incipientcollege through the war. With thereturn of peace the college grew and theprocess of expanding the curriculumfrom two years to four years was begun.Early in 1947 Dr. Farley accepted thecharter from the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania and soon afterward WilkesCollege, completely on its own With anenrollment of nearly 1,700 students, wasaccredited by the Middle States Associationof Colleges and Secondary Schools.Brother Farley began his educationalcareer in 1922 as an instructor in GermantownAcademy, at the same timeworking toward his master's degree atthe University of Pennsylvania. By 1933he had completed his doctorate also atthe University of Pennsylvania. From1929 until 1936 Brother Farley was thedirector of research on the NewarkBoard of Education.Dr. Farley has two sons, one a Phi,*the other a Sigma Chi, and a daughtergraduated from Swarthmore. He andMrs. Farley now have four grandchilddren. Their fifty acre farm, Fairlea, in'the hill country north of Wilkes-Barre isa beautiful place where President Farleyrelaxes in practicing his hobbies of farmingand forestry. All of the Parleys participatein local and national life.The following quotation from PresidentFarley's paper entitled "FreedomRequires Risk" expresses clearly one ofthe principal facets of his philosophy bywhich he is guided in his administrationof Wilkes College. 'Treedom is not forthose who value security beyond liberty.It is to be enjoyed only by those whoknow its value and are willing to pay itsprice. It is not an inalienable right, it isthe right only of those who struggle unceasinglyto gain and to retain it."• Eugene Farley, Jr., of Pennsylvania Kappa atSwarthmore, now in Rochester Medical School.

When he saw the money-changersin the temple victimizing the devoutworshippers by charging exorbitant pricesfor their sacrifices, he drove them out,saying that they were changing the houseof prayer into a den of thieves. In short,Jesus came to a church which at the timewas secularizing the spiritual, and hetried to turn the tide of religion by spiritualizingthe secular. He went out to themarket place, the shop, the sick room,and everywhere he felt that he was "abouthis Heavenly Father's business."Some people look upon their work asa drudgery which they have to endure inorder to make enough money to live afterhours. Such persons work just as shorthours as possible, and then all too oftenfind their leisure just about as unsatisfyingas their labor.Others of us may enjoy our work, getall wrapped upin it, and then becomemiserable when age forces us to retire.A refined woman went across to her(Continued from Inside Front Cover)neighbor recently and apologized for herhusband's behavior.

He has become very hard to livewith."If we are to avoid the twin evils oftaking our work as drudgery or takingour retirement as imprisonment, we mustsee our work in its larger setting.

As Maltbie Babock wrote:"The circle of business activity is nottangent to the circle of God's service, butconcentric, a little circle in a great one."Like Jesus in the temple we must feel thatwe are "about Father's business" notonly when we go td our prayers and ourpulpits but also when we go to our shopsand our offices.

It sohappened that Dietrich, to whom businessand pleasure are inseparable, knewStory and pictures reproduced from Western Businessif Industry of Vancouver through courtesy of Mr.Howard MitcheU, Puhlisher. Our thanks to R. GRANTDONEGANI, British Columbia '41. for suggesting thearticle and securing reprint rights—ÊD.[873]the whereabouts of two machines thatcould conceivably be of some use to theBritish in their hour of trial.Hastily gulping his drink, he flew backto Vancouver and began a trans-Atlanticsearch for the mysterious mission.Whitehall, Scotland Yard, and top Londonofficials were alerted. The result,after several weeks of effort, was thatDietrich sold the British Ministry ofFuel and Supply not only the two originalmachines but many carloads ofequipment valued at over half a milliondollars.This combination of luck, vision andenthusiastic salesmanship is typical ofDietrichJCoUins Equipment Limitedand its youthful partners. In less than

six years, they have parlayed an investmentof f 300 into one of the largest machinerysupply firms on the West Coast.Thirty-five-year-old Frederick HawthorneDietrich, president and managingdirector, is a restless, energetic youngman .with red hair and the effervescentpersonality of a college cheer-leader. Hecan rarely be persuaded to sit in oneplace more than a few seconds, and carrieson even a casual conversation as ifhe were just pausing on his way to catcha train."Fred is the most dynamic character Ihave ever met," one old acquaintancestated recently. "He does forty thousandthings a day, does them well, and thencomplains because there are only sixtyseconds in each minute.'*'Vancouver-born, he attended localschools and the University of BritishColumbia where he was a hard-workingmember of British Columbia Alpha.Never noted for a shy or retiring nature,his early escapades frequently took anenergetic and even violent form. Anearly aptitude tor business was reflectedin his athletic pursuits, for in 1935 ,hebecame business manager of the famousWesterns basketball team which won theCanadian championship and latertoured the Orient.Before the war he was associated withTraylor Engineering & ManufacturingCompany Ltd. Although stocky and apparentlyrugged, bad eyesight kept himout of the fighting forces, so in 1941 hejoined the Department of Munitionsand Supply, working with the WartimeIndustries Control Board. Late in 1944he joined the Capital Equipment andDurable Good Division of the WartimePrices and Trade Board, this time on thede-control programme.In the summer of 1945, Dietrich returnedto Vancouver, met a U.B.C. classmate,Jim Collins, and formed Fred H.Dietrich & Company. (The "& Company"consisted entirely of Jim Collins,who contributed his share of the firm's$300 capital.)EARLY DIETRICH-COLLINSThe dilapidated shack above has grown . ."Collins and Dietrich make an idealpartnership," a Vancouver businessmansaid recently. "The ebullient Fred is undoubtedlythe spark-plug of the organization,but Jim keeps a cool mechanic'seye on the engine."Their first office in the Hall Buildingwas barely large enough to hold the twopartners. During their first six monthsthey didn't make a sale. In fact it wassome time before they had anything tosell. "We spent most of our time tryingto convince manufacturers that we couldgive them the best distribution, coverageand representation on the Coast," Dietrichsays."We found that few companies appreciatedthe possibilities in the West," JimCollins recalls. "Some of theni, particularlyAmerican firms, seemed to thinkwe were pioneers in a vast wilderness."A few important manufacturers, however,had the courage to hand their representationover to the young company,a decision they have since had no causeto regret. The first to head Dietrich-Collins' now impressive list of manufacturerswas Blaw-Knox Company ofPittsburgh, which makes clam-shellbuckets, mining plants, and concreteroad-building equipment. Other earlyfirms to join the list were AmericanHoist & Derrick, and Davinport LocomotiveWorks.Flushed with success, the firm changedits name to Dietrich-Collins EquipmentLimited and moved to a slightly largeroffice in the Standard Bank Building.Here there was even room for one smallsecretary and the occasional visitor. Dur-

DIETRICH-COIXTNS TODAY. . into the attractive plant and heavily-stocked equipment yard pictured above.ing the first year the company did a totalbusiness of $50,000, which is considerablyless than is frequently made in onesale today.Actually, the first sale the companyever made was 10 secondhand trucks.They haven't sold a truck since, but thisled to offers of other surplus equipmentwhich Dietrich-Collins sold on a commissionbasis.Then came the company's profitableassociation with the British Ministry ofFuel and Supply. Dietrich sold the twomachines which he originally offered;one, a Bucyrus five cubic-yard, walkingtypedrag line, was picked up at Tabor,Alberta. Weighing 450,000 pounds, itwas broken down and shipped to Vancouverin six carloads. Each of its severalhundred pieces had to be accuratelyidentified so that the machine could beassembled without difficulty when itreached England.Scouring the country for .additionalequipment for the British Fuel ministry,DietrichJCollins made further shipmentsfrom such scattered points as Californiaand Idaho as well as the Western provinces.Upon the completion of this business,the company received a strongletter of commendation from the Britishministry.In the fall of 1947, the companyrented its present site on Marine Driveoverlooking the Fraser River. A yearlater business was turning over so wellthat they were able to buy the location,and they have since remodeled the buildings,surfaced the lot, and generallymade the property look businesslike.Early in 1948 they opened their firstbranch office at Nanaimo on VancouverIsland, and in 1949 an office in Victoriawas also opened. Altogether, the companynow has some 25 employees, includingeight salesmen and two factorytrainedservice engineers. One companyengineer specializes in shovels, makingregular trips around the Coast, callingon customers to see if their equipmentis giving satisfactory service. He makesa point of talking personally to theshovel operators. "They are our bestsalesmen," he says.At the start, most manufacturers werewon over to the new company by itsyouth, energy and aggressive salesmanship—qualitieswhich are still its outstandingcharacteristics. The partnersare not handicapped by any lack of selfconfidence,and during their first fewmonths in business they would unhesitatinglyagree to supply any specifiedpiece of equipment whether or not theyknew what the buyer was talking about.But six years have made a big difference,and today Dietrich-Collins is able to actas an equipment consultant, qualified toadvise buyers on the latest developmentsin the field.Making the sale is only half the job,however. The company also' suppliesfactory-trained representatives to instructthe operator in each machine'sabilities. As a further service, Dietrich-Collins maintains a fuUy-equipped machineshop which can undertake majorrepairs on any of the equipment at amoment's notice.The company's general attitude to-

Other equipment will movedown the Fraser by barge to be unloadedat the Dietrich-Collins warehouse at Marpole,Included are tractors, logging yardersand loaders, truck shop equipment, loggingarches, fire-fighting and other equipment.Some machinery weighs 35 tons persingle unit.Possible sale of the machinery will be tolarge logging operators, pipeline contractorsand the Far East buyers.Operation of Silver-Skagit Logging CompanyLtd. along Silver Creek above Hopewas regarded as a model of mechanizedproduction.The big American-Canadian concernalso logged the Skagit River watersheds onthe U.S. side. They cleared the Skagitbasin of timber on both sides of theborder to permit flooding for hydro developmentto supply U.S. cities.wards the routine details of big businesshas always been considered refreshinglyunorthodox. The partners breeze aboutthe office informally, exchanging firstnames with the staff. Not overly impressedwith the importance of dignity,they have frequently launched some unusualbut effective publicity stunt. Onthe occasion of a recent anniversary, forexample, they posed for press photographerswhile cutting the "birthday" cakewith a power saw.Dietrich is still fond of one publicitystunt that was called off. Recognizingevery man's suppressed desire to run apower shovel, he planned to lease a vacantlot, supply a couple of his biggestshovels, and invite the public to digthemselves a hole.• "We'd have been mobbedl" says Dietrichwith obvious enthusiasm.Some spark of caution, hitherto unnoticed,persuaded him that technicaldetails concerning insurance, etc., wouldmake the venture impractical. "I - stillthink it was a good idea," he adds sadly.Yet; behind-this apparently casual attitudelies a serious desire to give theircustomers every possible service. Theirdirect-mail advertising keeps 6,000 potentialbuyers informed about the latestdevelopments in equipment design. Expandingthis service, DietrichJCollinshas now become the first machinery distributorin British Columbia to issue acomplete illustrated catalogue of itsequipment. This covers some 1,000items, including all types of machineryfrom small power saws to locomotivecranes.Customers also feel that a young andenergetic firm can be depended uponwhen a rush job is important. One Sundaynot long ago, a customer at Missionbroke the boom-stick of a three-quarteryardshovel while in the middle of animportant job, Dietrich-Collins managedto find a new part (it is rumoredthat they took it off someone else's machine,but the partners deny this) rushedit with a mechanic to Mission, and hadthe shovel in operation the followingmorning when the foreman came towork.The partners are fond of recountingwhat they consider their oddest sale. Afew months ago they sold a large combinationshovel and dragline to an undertaker!It seems that Harvey Hendersonof the Henderson Funeral Home inAbbotsford, B.C., also runs a small contractingbusiness on the side. Still, a deallike that could only happen to Dietrich-Collins,ALUMNI-Send in Your Contribution NOW

SEVERSON, Lawrence '34THE elevation of two additional Phisto the top posts in their respectivefields has come to our attention sincethe last printing of THE SCROLL. 'Theyare Frederic R. Gamble, Knox '20, presidentof the American Association of AdvertisingAgencies, and Paul B. Reinhold,Lehigh '13, president of the NationalRoad Builders' Association. It isheartening to note the ever increasingnumber of * A 0 alumni who are assumingthe leadership of not only their ownlocal sphere of interest, but leadershipon a national level.Within the past year, we can recall theappointments and elections of CodyFowler, Missouri '15, as president of theAmerican Bar Association; Dr. John[377]Cline, California '21, president of theAmerican Medical Association; C. N.Rabold, Dickinson '25, president of theAmerican Association of Textile Chemistsand Colorists; W. W. Weir, Washington'23, president of the AmericanWater Works Association; Dr. E. W.Alton Ochsner, president-elect of theAmerican College of Surgeons, andmany others.Frederic R. Gamble, whose recognitionis long overdue on these pages, hasbeen president of the American Associationof Advertising Agencies since 1944.His activities in the world of advertisingare manifold. He is secretary and directorof the Advertising Council, Inc., directorof the Advertising Federation ofAmerica, treasurer and director of theAdvertising Research Foundation, vicechairmanand director of Broadcast MeasurementBureau, Inc., vice-president anddirector of American Trade AssociationExecutives, vice-president of the AdvertisingClub of New York, and vice-president,president and director of Trade AssociationExecutives in New York City.Gamble is a native of Kewaunee,

He received his A.B., MagnaCum Laude, from Knox College in 1920.As a Rhodes Scholar, Oxford Universityconferred on him a B.A. degree in 1922,and his M.A, in 1931. He became executivesecretary of the AAAA in 1929, itsmanaging director in 1940, and waselected president in 1944, a position hehas held ever since.Gamble is a member of $ B K, A A S,SAX, and the Advertising, Union League,and Uptown Clubs of New York.At the recent convention of the AdvertisingAssociation of the West, Gambledelivered the keynote conventionaddress, pointing out the vast opportunitiesof the advertising profession in theFar West, where the population increasehas been over 50 per cent and the realpurchasing power is double that of adecade ago.Paul B. Reinhold was elected presidentof the National Road Builders'Association at their national conventionin Milwaukee on March 14, 1951. It isan extremely important assignment atthis particular time, when one considersthe great need for the building of newhighways and the maintenance of oldduring this period when we are movingswiftly into a war economy.Brother Reinhold was born in Marietta,Pennsylvania. For ten years afterhis graduation from Lehigh he was associatedwith the Crucible Steel Companyof America. In 1923 he founded hisown firm, Reinhold and Company, Inc.,in Pittsburgh, marketing crushed stoneand limestone products primarily for usein highway and public works construction.In 1935 he formed the Atlas EquipmentCorporation to market industrialand road building machinery.Reinhold has long been active in civicand social affairs in Pittsburgh.

His activity parallels thedynamic growth of automotive transportation.It is in large part because ofthe untiring efforts of men such as he,that this nation is equipped with amagnificent network of all-weather highways,ready to serve us under all conditions,and in any emergency.Coming Up in THE SCROLLThe next issue of THE SCROLL will be the September number and, following the planadopted last year, it will be brought out late in August prior to the rushing period inmost colleges and universities. This plan proved both helpful and popular in 1950, accordingto reports from the undergraduates. The editor would appreciate greatly contributionsor suggestions for this issue. It should be aimed primarily at the undergraduatelevel and should be interesting to freshman men who might read it in our chapterhouses when there tor rush parties. HELP! HELPI

A Corner With Phi AuthorsThe House in Mallorca by ERNEST INGOLD, Illinois '09The House Spain Gaveand Took AwayA collectors' number and a superiorbook indeed is Paul Elder's first productionin a long while. The House in Mallorca,by a distinguished San Franciscocitizen, Ernest Ingold, Illinois 'og. It isthe story of the search and discovery byRotary of the birthplace of Miguel JoseSerra, better known to Californians asFather Junipero Serra. He was born inthe Baleario Islands, off the coast ofCatalan, in Majorca, which is the largestisland in the group.This had been known for a long time,but the exact location had been in doubtuntil the Majorca branch of Rotary announcedits discovery in December, 1931.The old house, the subject of this book,still stands and has been restored—as agesture hy Majorca Rotarians to theirfriends in San Francisco—and it is, ofcourse, as worthy a shrine for Californiansas Monticello or Mount Vernonare for the nation.The House in Mallorca is in thenature of a report to San Francisco Rotaryand to the citizens of San Franciscoby a man whose interest in the subjectwas unflagging and who was unstintingof his energy in one of those tasks thatonly the devoted can bring to fruition.But it is more than a report. It is alsoa valuable literary achievement and ifperhaps it lays stress on Rotary's sharein this contribution to California historythis is not only pardonable by the factERNEST T. INGOLD, Illinois '09that but for Rotary the shrine would nothave been discovered and- restored, butalso because it is a demonstration that internationalgoodwill can and does existwhen common sense sits at the table withgood faith ainong peoples.It is perhaps unfortunate that the presentedition is limited and numbered, in950 copies only, for it is a volume manyof the general public will want to havein their libraries, but I am assured byMr. Paul Elder that if the demand warrantsit a trade edition will be issuedfrom the same plates.—BASIL WOON inSan Francisco News.The Last WordThis issue of THE SCROLL marks the end of another volume—the 75th. The editor wouldlike to take this opportunity to express his deep appreciation to the many Phis whohave contributed to the magazine throughout the past year. They have been legion, bespeakinga real interest in the magazine and the Fraternity. We look forward to renewingthese contacts—and making new ones^—during the compiling of Volume 76.[379]

HUNTINGTON, JR., California 16, of Arlington, Va., begannoticing how often highly successful men and women were being knocked out by overstrainedhearts just when they were doing their most important work. Furthermore,about the same time, Huntington, a bibliographer, realized he was pretty well playedout himself. He began to search tor relaxation and in so doing came up with his ideafor "Planned Rest" and most important of all, an ideal hobby—locating suitable resthavens where weary folks can go to recuperate. He has found them in the mountains,the desert, and at the seashore and from Oregon to Florida, and he recommends themgratis to tired people.Maybe you're suffering from the high pressure of modern living and need to take timeout in one of the retreats which Huntington has tested and listed as suitable. He wroteup his hobby for the alumni magazine of the University of California, from which hewas graduated in 1916, and the response from laymen and doctors convinced him hewas on the right track. Huntington says the dangerous age is from 33 to 66. That's whenmost of us operate at our top mental capacity, but have too much character or ambitionto give in to the resulting physical exhaustion. Instead of more exercise, he has foundthat four out of five need more rest.Huntington, himself a well-rested 57, works for the Special Insurance Projects Sectionof the Veterans' Administration and recently was awarded a Presidential Citation forco-authoring the official history of the Army Medal of Honor.—March, 1951, AmericanMagazine.

The captain, a tent matebriefly during the past war, went to a movie, andGeneral Morgan, chierof the Surgeon General's MedicalConsultants, washed the man's socks along with hisown. This tall, big-framed physician of patricianmien and punctilious manners has 'been an importantman at Vanderbilt ever since he returned to his nativeNashville in 1924 to teach Internal Medicine. (In 1918,when still a 1st lieutenant in France, Johns Hopkinsawarded him his M.D.) He had already made his markat Vanderbilt. He was one of the Eleven that "wentto Yale and tied the Bulldog up" in the memorable1910 game, and was All-Southern center twice duringhis four years on the Varsity, He has remained devotedto his Alma Mater: president of the Alumni~ Association, 1932-34; an alumni director since 1934,and, for even longer, a member of the University'sCommittee on Athletics. His research and his efforts toraise the standard of medical teaching are formidable,as are his honors (two among scores are his D.S^M.and the current presidency of the Association ofAmerican Physicians), but he has other interests thattake him further afield. Morgan, the man, discernsboth trees and forest, human beings as well as groupsand goals, and in 'his addresses before the greatmedical organizations of the country his eloquence issecond only to his intrepidity; he quails before nothing.As ardently as anyone in the mighty AmericanMedical Association (he is a member of its Council onNational Emergency Medical Service), he opposessocialized medicine, but he places greater, service beforeprofessional panegyrics.
