Acceptance for mailing at the special rate of postage provided for in section 1103 Act of October 3, 1917, authorized April 1921. ENERALLY SPEAKING, the Executive Council has no concern with the personal G habits and tastes of members and guests who attend Fraternity functions, including Grand Arch Councils, District Councils, and chapter and alumni gatherings of one kind or another. However, when indulgence in such habits and tastes results in conduct offensive, disgusting, disturbing, and at times threatening to others including non-members, hotel managements and employes and passersby, the officers of the Fraternity do feel a very deep concern. Practically all Phi Psis who attend Fraternity gatherings do not look upon these occasions as mechanisms for throwing off all restraint in the use of intoxicating liquors. Unfortunately, a certain percentage, relatively small, seems to look upon participation in Fraternity and college events as an excuse for drinking and behaving in manner and extent beyond the limits of propriety and decency. Lives of persons have been endangered because of the irresponsible conduct of a few. Hotel property has been damaged, put out of commission, stolen, and destroyed, to the inconvenience and disgust of other members and guests. Mixed drinking parties, attracting men and women, and group drinking by members in hotel rooms and elsewhere, are blamed for most of the trouble reported to the Executive Council. Reference to disciplinary action taken by colleges against a half-dozen of our chapters is made in the annual report of the Secretary {The Shield for May, 1955). The Executive Council exhorts members to refrain entirely from drinking at Frater­ nity functions and gatherings, if past experiences tend to indicate that they have a tendency to over-indulge or an allergy to alcohol. Ninety-nine and 99/lOOths percent of our membership frowns upon those who go to Phi Psi meetings for the purpose of becoming drunk, noisy, abusive, destructive, unpopular, and unappreciated. Conduct unbecoming gentlemen should not be tolerated by the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. Manners and Morals Recognizing a general deterioration in the conduct of young people, the National Interfraternity Conference Committee on Fraternity Manners and Morals (made up of presidents, past presidents, and secretaries of eight member fraternities, including the Secretary of Phi Kappa Psi) in mid-May reaffirmed the following resolution, adopted by the NIC in December of 1954: "Resolved, That the National Interfraternity Conference recognizes the need for developing a constructive program for the inculcation of good manners and morals among our fraternities and their members with special emphasis on the problem of drinking and recommends that the Conference participate in the implementation of such a program jointly with the member fraternities on the national level, the local Interfraternity Council level, and the local chapter level and with the college authorities; "Resolved, That the House of Delegates of NIC adopt as basic requirements of sound fraternity operation among and between its members: The observance by their chapters of college regulations or recognized standards of gentlemenly con­ duct in morals and the use of alcoholic beverages, subject to effective penalties imposed by the member fraternities in instances of abuse."

NDER THE TERMS of the wlU of the late U Solon E. Summerfield, Kans. Alpha '99, Phi Kappa Psi will share in perpetuity a part of the income from his estate, at the present time approximating seven million dollars, with current annual income of a quarter-million dollars. It is estimated that the Phi Kappa Psi Endowment Fund will receive in the neighborhood of $9,000 an­ nually from his estate, which may be the largest bequest ever made to a Greekletter fraternity. The multi-millionaire philanthropist, founder and former head of the Gotham Gold Stripe Hosiery Co., of New York, established the Summerfield Scholarships at the University of Kansas in 1929, now amounting to $20,000 annually. Recipients of these scholarships are selected on a basis of individual merit, without regard to financial need. The amounts given to in­ dividuals vary according to needs. There is no legal obligation for repayment of these grants, but the donor expressed the belief Solon £. Summerfield that some who benefit from his endowment will, in turn, make contributions so that $20,000 of annual income to the University future generations may have similar ad­ of Kansas Endowment Association to con­ vantages provided for them. tinue the scholarship grant.

A pattern involving the letters Phi, Kappa, and Psi, weaves a strong band around the walls of the meeting room; a large gold reproduction of the shield is painted into the back wall, and the chairs used by the officers appropriately bear the initials of the Fraternity's name. High stained-glass windows permit a minimum of light to enter the room in daytime and a few small electric fixtures suffice for night meetings. Gas fixtures, including the ornate, prismed glass chandelier which set Gettys­ burg talking in the Victorian era when it was new, still are untouched by modern in­ fluence.

HE IDEA OF PLANNING OUr citicS is UOt Uew. TL'Enfant, the French engineer who laid out Washington's streets in wheel-like fash­ ion in 1793 was a planner of sorts; but he had only one thought in mind—the defense of the capitol. By placing circles at the com­ mon junction of four or five streets, which converged like the spokes of a wheel at the hub, he made ideal sites for cannon to ward off any civil uprising or enemy attack on the capitol building. That was just fine for its day, but today's visitor to Washington finds this maze of many circles a formidable barrier to orderly travel throughout the city. ]\Iost people wish they'd never been built. Twentieth Century planning is more com­ plex, and must take into account new hous­ ing, street and highway routes, industrial plant sites, slum clearance and the conflict of personal interests. Today's metroplanner must be a combination genius, arbiter, engi­ neer, educator, surveyor and reformer; he must have unerring foresight and creative John Crane imagination.

"1 have always remembered the injunction: 'Never forget that you are a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity.' When temptation has been in my way, the remembrance of that injunction has always resulted in good to me. I can give to you, my younger brothers, no better advice than to remember that injunction. Just before I took the oath of office as Governor of Ohio, 1 received a telegram from an old Phi Psi friend. Many other letters and telegrams of congratulation and good wishes had been received, but all save this one had been put on file. For some reasons that telegram found its way into my pocket-book, and has remained there ever since. It contained only these words: '.May peace and har­ mony ever be with you, and our great Ruler in heaven ever guide you.' "—From an address by Joseph B.

A formal was neither the beginning nor the end of our social program. Prior to that we had had various open-houses, cabin parties, and other get- togethers during the first few months of school. Great enthusiasm was stirred up at a recent in­ formal dance. It was unique, for one of the Brothers had come up with the idea of a " Guys and Dolls'' theme. This theme was carried out to its fullest, for all the Brothers came garbed in the most gaudy, ostentatious outfits imaginable. The girls—well, if you like cheap looking girls with clashes of blue, green, and yellow—couldn't be beat. As for the future socially, only time will tell; however, much planning is underway for the annual Perry Como appearance, the Joe College weekend, and other functions. We are holding our own athletically, as well as scholastically and socially. Tom Russell and Claud Grigg teamed up to sweep the fall intramural doubles tennis championship at Duke. Don Sedlack, Ed Gauld, and Gordie Lang were mainstays on Duke's Varsity Soccer Team. Rushing has just terminated with the chapter coming out of the pile of fighting fraternities with ten " C " average pledge candidates and five '' non- C" average associates. Due to a large sophomore class, this number is going to be sufficient. The new- pledges are: David Bruton, Bill Hagie, Bill Klo- Nick Charles and Tommy Martin, Vurginia Beta man.

One hundred years ago, exactly one dozen Phi Psi delegates met for the 2nd Grand Arch Council at Canonsburg, Pa., on Aug. 8, 1856. Had anyone there proph­ esied that one hundred years later Phi Kappa Psi would hold a Grand Arch Council attended by half a thousand or more who wear the shield, none would have believed it. But it's going to happen this year, at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel in San Francisco, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, and you should be there, too. Why should you go to a GAC? There are many reasons. Perhaps first and fore­ most, the Fraternity needs your help and guidance, whether you are an alumnus or undergraduate. Phi Kappa Psi is en­ trusted to the care of all who wear her badge. Each GAC has problems to solve, both old and new. In past GACs, extension, unit rule, finance and government have all San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge been discussed and debated by those whose only purpose was to strengthen the Fra­ ternity. Traditionally, one of the very Ball will be held in the Ball Room, also first acts of the Council is to extend the on the Lobby floor. privilege of the floor to all Phi Psis pres­ The Smoker will be held Wednesday ent, whether delegates or not, so that all evening, August 29, and is a stag affair. may hear and also speak on any question, Phi Psi ladies will be provided with other if so inclined. entertainment that evening.

Hotel rates are from $7.50 to $15.00 for singles; The GAC Ball will feature West Coast doubles from $10.00 to $17.50; and twin- beauties, lovely Phi Psi ladies, and spark­ bedded rooms from $10.50 to $18.00 per ling music, all blended into a memorable day.

•^•*°^ ^^^ The SHIELD OF PHI KAPPA PSI Paper Work by the Ton

by ROY KOHLER*

HERE was considerably less paper in the Tworld a half century ago when a young­ ster named Ben Johnson first heard that rags could be turned into paper riches. When Ben applied for work at the Cen­ tral Ohio Paper Co. in Columbus about 1902, the people of the United States were consuming approximately 73 pounds of paper annually. Today, Mr. Johnson is vice president of North Side's Whitaker Paper Co. and the average annual national paper consump­ tion per person is 410 pounds. A lot of paper has passed through ware­ houses since Mr. Johnson obtained his first job as office boy with a paper firm. And there have been hundreds of new uses developed for the product he knows best. But nobody yet has come up with a good substitute for paper—a product most of us take so for granted we often toss it toward the wastebasket without recalling its use­ ful function. Benjamin M.

Hunterdon County is agricultural, with just enough woodland in it to encourage the deer population, so Whitey naturally started back in archery where he had left off many years ago — hunting deer with bow and arrow.

.VN EVENING ^VITH BURDETTE On Monday evening last, Mr. Robert J. Burdette (Ind. Gamma '78) delivered his lecture, "The Rise and Fall ot the Mustache," before one of the finest and largest audiences gathered at the Caledonia Opera House for a long time. For over two hours this prince of American humorists kept the audience in peals ot laughter. Among those present was a representation ot the college fraternity, the Phi Kappa Psi, ot which Mr. Burdette is a most enthusiastic member. The lecturer wore his Phi Psi pin and colors, and his refer­ ence to his society brought plaudits from the brethren, joined in b\ some of the audience. After the lecture, .Mr. Burdette and the Phi Psi representatives who were from LeRoy went into executi\e session at the Moss House, where Landlord Keisler had provided a lunch which did credit to his finely conducted hotel. It was after midnight before the discussion of matters gastronomical was con­ cluded, and amidst humorous and pathetic stories, songs and fraternity tun, the hours on the Tuesday side ot midnight were consumed. Mr. Burdette is being constantly entertained b\ the various chapters ot this fraternity and probably few ot its members keep the entire run of its interests as does he. (The LcRo\ (N. Y.)

Although his father didn't have too much formal education, he did have a strong interest in good books, and when there was a quiet Sunday afternoon on the farm, young Leverett spent hours poring over such tomes as Dickens' Pickwick Papers. When the time came for high school, he went to Grant Park, about five miles from the farm. When he was about 15, his father sold the farm and moved to Joliet. While young Lyon was in Joliet High School his father's health failed, and the youngster had to combine study with labor. He worked in steel mills, various stores, and landed a job with the Joliet Stove Works which paid him the handsome wage of $1.25 per ten-hour day, six days a week. To supplement this he sometimes covered Leverett S. Lyon sports events for the Joliet Herald. In 1905 he was graduated from Joliet OME PEOPLE say retirement is hard work High School.

. . . The life of our Fraternity can be likened to the life of an ocean-going ship. When it was launched, its keel, bottom and rudder were clean and slick. As it sailed from ocean to ocean barnacles gathered on its keel and underside. Every so often it went into dry dock to have its keel and underside scraped to remove the barnacles. It could sail just as fast as when new, as long as it was kept in good sailing condition. As long as a ship is seaworthy it can continue to sail the seas, it the barnacles are removed and it is kept clean. As long as Phi Kappa Psi maintains its high standards, and keeps ^ital and alive the ideals on which our Fraternity was founded, just that long will Phi Kappa Psi be worthy of its existence. Our GACs should be our dry dock where we scrape off the barnacles that lan come with more than a hundred years ot service, and keep our keel, underside and rudder clean so we can continue to go forward and take an even more important part in the progress ot general education and the development ot individuals ...
