MILLSAPS CHAPTER CELEBRAT ES DEBT-FREE HOUSE AT BARBECUE
Less than nine years /rom the time Alpha-Iota first moved into its cha.pter house at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss. , the house has been completely paid /or. The house has eight rooms for Living quarters with facilities /or 18 m en , a Large living room, recrea· tion room, library, and kitchenette.
+ J uLY 12 was a big day in the history of Alpha-Iota chapter at Millsa ps College. On that day the fi nal payment was made on the chapter house and the bond was burned at a bond burning celebration barbecue at the country home of Ellis Wright just out side of J ackson. T he Alpha-Iota chapter house wa built in 1939 and is the newest and most modern fraternity house on the Mill aps campus. It is the only debt-free house at the college. In a time when many fratern ities do not have houses or are rentin g, Alpha-Iota considers it a real accomplishment to completely own such a fi ne house. Present at the celebration were alum n i from many states and a large number of actives. Burning the bond were Rich ard Stockett, Ell is Wright, Ross O'Ban nion, Garner Lester, George Maddox and Stuart Carruth. Carruth and Mad dox are SMC and IMC, respectively, of Alpha-Iota chapter. Another fea ture of the party was the pinning of Alpha-Iota's "Dream Girl of IIKA" fo r 1947-48. Chosen by the chap ter was Miss Bonnie Singletary, 2-year old daughter of one of the acti ves, who was presented with a jeweled sweetheart pin and a beautiful colonial bouquet. Both of Bonnie's paren ts were in the service during the war and both are stu den ts at Mill aps.

One of them is official mascot for the Pi Kappa Alphas at George W ashington University. Mr. Hi, as the boys call him, has lived in the fraternity house for about four years. He is a favorite and quite tall and h andsome like the other broth ers, according to Ernest Fry, who is one of them. The big German police came to the llKA's with Louis Rives, blind Fed eral Security Administration employe, who lived at the fraternity house while taking advanced studies at George Wash ington· University. Rives is a graduate of the College of William and Mary. H e kept Mr. Hi with him until housing conditions made this impossible. Then he loaned him to his fraternity brothers, but he still keeps title to the friendly, big dog that used to lead him around W ashington. Mr. Hi is too old to be returned to the Seeing Eye organization to help some other blind person, but he is not too old to recognize his master, Rives, who drops by the house fr.equ emly to visit.

Town Hall + ONE of the thrilling trav elogues given last sea on in Town Hall, ew York, was "A G.I. Look at India" by Charles A. Barton, :E. An engineer in the wi re and cable department of United States Rubber Company, Barton was in India for a yea r and a half during the war in tailing radio range , radio teletype , homing station and other aids for aerial naviga tion for the Army communication erv ice. H e left the service with the rank of captain. His duties took him over much of India and Burma and in many points in the Pacific. H e also had jobs in Karachi, New Delhi, Agra, ll ahabarl, Calcutta, Banga lore, Chabua, and Cox's Bazaar. By the time he had se rved in Bangkok, Manila, Cebu, Guam, Kwatja Lein, Einewetok, Wake and Calm, he had been away from the states for two yea rs. By the time he returned to ew York, he was still traveling east and had circumnavigated the globe. Barton's own de cription of the ten picture reproduced on the fo llowing page is: I.

Another time a piece of burst ing flak bulged an ammo can so that the bulge pressed against the back of his head. Another time flak spattered the wall beside him. Three times every si n gle plane in his flight suffered battle damage. The friends who nodded know ingly when Ammon McClellan first was commissioned should have seen him now. He went on every type of mission, on observation and scouting missions, and on a lot of bombing and combat forays. When he wasn't flying he was tireless in his training and supervision of his men. Sometimes he was more of a chaplain to them than an instructor. He defended his boys at court-martials. He invented and put into use in his group an ingeni ous quick escape device from the two turrets. That device saved lives. He invented an ammunition indicator to show the number of rounds left in the ammo cans, and his system has been adopted as standard in manufacture. He rigged means for more accurate shooting practice. Then McClellan learned that the AAF wanted minimum altitude photos of the Nazi robot bomb sites along the French coast. It would take almost suicidal daring to skim over those sites at deck level. And furthermore fixed cameras hardly would get the desired pictures. Mac was something of an amateur photographer, so he went to work. H e rigged out an arrangement whereby he could stow his twin 50s alongside, fasten straps from the seat to his arms and belt, and literally hang out the opening where the guns normally were placed. He got a K-20 hand operated camera and began practicing. A-2 knew of 12 specific sites along the Pas de Calais coast.
