H AZING- A NEGATIVE TRADITION

Seniors, Farewell! m y contribution to this issue of

the Laurel is directed to the several hundred brothers who are completing their undergraduate ca­reers. After all the college fraternity is most meaningful during those comparatively few years which pre­cede the receiving of the bachelor degree. It is during these years that the Chapter House becomes the locale for the unique implementa­tion of the ideals of the Fraternity.

Never again will the Fraternity provide such an opportunity for Fellowship. It is the intimacy of living together in the same house; of eating meals together in the same dining ·room; of dancing and sing-

. ing and visiting in the same living room; of study and dialogue and 'bull sessions' in closely associated study rooms; of engaging together in parliamentary procedure and in arriving at a concensus, in a 'town­meeting' context, in the same chap­ter room; of facing life together, twenty-four hours a day; which con­stitutes Fellowship, as thousands of Phi Kappa Tau brothers can testify.

Your undergraduate days will soon end. Never again, not even in graduate school, can you experience the productive intimacy which is offered by life in the undergraduate fraternity house. Those who remain say, regretfully, Farewell!

Phi Kappa Tau will soon wel­come you as alumni. You may be graduating from college or univer­sity, but you do not graduate from Phi Kappa Tau. You will continue to wear the badge with pride. You will soon meet strangers who wear the same badge, to them you will extend the hand of fellowship. The LAUREL will be mailed to you; its pages will take on a new meaning for you. But the drama of life will change. There will be many other actors on the stage with whom you will be related in one way or an­other. To this exciting and chal­lenging drama, we Welcome you.

Marine Corps when he was fo rmally named as the Corps twenty-fourth Commandant on January 1, 1968, in the office of an­other distinguished Phi K appa Tau alumnus, Navy Secretary Paul R. Ignatius, Southern California '42.

Undersecretary of the Navy Charles F. Baird pre­sented General Chapman with his fourth star after Rear Admiral Wilfred A. H em , Navy Judge Advocate, had delivered the Oath of Office.

Previously it had been all spit and polish as the Alpha Eta alumnus accepted the U .S. Marine Corps battle flag with its historic campaign streamers from Gen. Wallace M . Greene Jr., retiring commandant. Marine flags flew from the wall of a small band hall at the Washington Marine Barracks at ceremonies that took place before two companies of Marines in dress blue uniforms. The M arine Band sounded "Ruffles and Flourishes" and closed the colorful ceremonies with the "Marine H ymn."

5 hree years of consecrated ef­fort and loyal devotion to a cause by a group of consecrated fraternity men was culminated December 2 when thirty four newly-initiated members of Phi K appa Tau partici­pated in the installa tion of Gamma Tau chapter, the Fraternity's ninety­first undergraduate group, at Old Dominion College, Norfolk, Va.

National President Warren H. Parker; J ack L. Anson, national sec­retary; and William D. J enkins, as­sistant national secretary, represent­ed Phi Kappa Tau nationally at the ceremonies which began on the afternoon of December 2 with a reception and charter-signing cere­mony. Thi ceremony followed the earlier initiation of the undergradu­ate member by a ritual team from Gamma Eta chapter a t East Caro­lina University.

The inception of Gamma Tau was highlighted by the installation banquet held that evening at the

ollege Center, a t which National President Parker was the principal speaker. Others on the banquet pro­gram included R eggie Mullen, a member of the Omega Phi Sigma lo a!, as master of ceremonies; John R ay, the hi torian of the new chap­ter ; Gary Lee J arne , Old Dominion Interfra ternity Council pre ident ; Dr. G.

The day's ceremonies provided a fitting welcome into the Fraternity's family of chapters of a group of out­tanding men who are adding dis­

tinction to Phi K appa Tau in the ta te of Virginia as well as to the

Fraternity nationally.

Gamma Tau History

Omega Phi igrna, the local group from which evolved Gamma Tau of Phi K appa T au, obtained its start in M ay of 1962 when a group of thirteen tudents from the Technical In titute, a two-year branch of Old Dominion College, met to organize a campu ocial group. R ecognition by the campu Interfraternity Council came in December of that year and after overcoming early oro-anizational dif­ficulties, the fraternity occupied its fir t hou e. By the fall of 1964 Omega Phi igrna had grown to an organization of thirty men .

anticipation of the fall rush period. This work, plus the addition of new living room furniture, helped bring to the chapter an impressive pledge cla s of twent -two men. Under the direction of a new administration headed by Frank 0. Caudle of Portsmouth, Va., the fraternity was proving that it was ready to become a Phi Kappa Tau chapter. The next step was the initia­tion, on November 18, 1967, of thirty-four men by a team from Gamma Eta at East Carolina University. This initiation and the installation ceremonies of Decem­ber 2 brought Phi Kappa Tau into the Old Dominion fraternity family. Gamma Tau is now one of eleven national fraternities having undergraduate chapters at Old Dominion. Other are Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha T au Omega, Theta Xi, Pi K appa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, D elta Sigma Phi, T au K appa Epsilon, Sigma u, Theta Chi, and Kappa Alpha.

The Old Dominion Story

Old Dominion College, formerly the Norfolk Col­lege of William and Mary, was established as an inde­pendent state institution by action of the General As­sembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1962 and received its new name August 2 of that year.

The name "O ld Dominion" is particularly ap­propriate for the designation of a Virginia college. · Virginia is proud of its splendid heritage going back to the 16th and 17th centuries and the close ties with the English Commonwealth.

Established in 1930 as a branch of the College of William and M ary in Williamsburg, 160 students were enrolled the first year with a facu lty of six full-time in tructors and seven part-time instructors who com-

muted from Williamsburg. Prior to that time, begin­ning in 1919, extension classes had been offered in the late afternoon and evening for teachers and adult study groups.

From the handful of students who reported for classes in September, 1930, the College has grown steadily. In September, 1967, 9,257 persons were en­rolled. In the present academic year, the faculty numb~r 312 full-time members. Graduate programs began m 1964 and the college awarded its first masters' degrees in June of 1966.

Administra tively, the College is divided into five schools and two divisions. These are : School of Arts and Letters, School of Business Administration, School of Education, School of Engineering, School of Sciences and the Division of T echnology and the Division of Continuing •Education. The O ld Dominion . O ceanog­raphy Institute, located a t the entrance of L1ttle Creek Harbor, has probably the best U.S. collection of Ant­arctic specimens.

Since 1953, the College has been undergoing an expansion program not only in additional co~rse offer­ings, but also in development of th~ phys1cal plant. Completed between fall 1959 and spnng 1965 were a T echnical Institute Building, the Hughes Library, the Fine Arts Building, Business Administration, Physics and Mathematics Building, K aufman Engineering H all and Lewis Webb College Center.

Occupied for the first time this fall were: . the Kiwanis Child Study Center and John S. Alfnend Chemistry H all. Rogers Hall and Gresham H all are co-educational dormitories. Under construction are a new $4 million Physical Education Building for men, a new building for the School of Education, and an addition to the Technical Institute Building. * * *

The completion of initiation ceremonies was fol­lowed Saturday night, December 2, by Gamma Upsi­lon's first Red Carnation Ball, at which the newly­elected sweetheart and sponsors of the Fraternity were honored. The charter was signed the next day at a re­ception in the campus center by thirty-three resident members, several graduate members, Irving J. Fox, chairman of Gamma Upsilon's Board of Governors, and Vernon H ead, also a member of the Board of Gov­ernors. The charter signature of Richard Lynch, former president of the fraternity who met his death during summer work in Mexico, was signed by his mother. The reception was attended by school and local digni­taries, officers from campus sororities and fraternities, friends and relatives of the charter members, and na­tional fraternity officers. Jack L . Anson, national secre­tary; Tom Cunningham, director of chapter develop­ment; Larry Jones, national field secretary; Tom Sten­nis, member of the National Council; and T . H avis Johnson, domain chief, represented Phi Kappa T au nationally.

That evening a banquet for the fraternity was held, and a t this time National Secretary Anson formal­ly presented Gamma Upsilon's charter to President J. Allen Neuenschwander. Featured speakers at the ban­quet were Co-founder Art Rhyne; Spring Hill Presi­dent William J. Rimes; and Tom Stennis, who deliver­ed the rna jor address.

the college on a hill near Mobile, Bishop Portier wen t to France to find teachers and funds for the new college. Upon his return he rented a hotel next to the college grounds and started the first semester on M ay 1, 1830, with an enrollment of thirty students. On July 4 of the same year the Bishop laid the cornerstone of the first permanent building. It stood on the site of the present Administration Building and opened for classes in November, 1831. Spring Hill thus takes its place among the oldest colleges in the South. It is the third oldest J esuit college in the United States.

Instruction a t the college was not interrupted by the Civil War, but in 1869 a fire destroyed the main building and required the removal of students and faculty to St. Charles College, Grand Coteau, Louisiana. Bishop Quinlan and other benefactors assisted in re­bui lding the college, which re-opened at Spring Hill before the year's end.

The college campus occupies some seven hundred a res of the elevation which gives its name to the urrounding residential area in the heart of Mobile.

The natural beauty of this well-chosen site, adorned with a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, its lake, its haded lanes, and its imposing buildings make this cam­

pus one of the most a ttractive in the country. Exten­sive a thletic fields, a wooded ravine, an eighteen-hole public golf course, and a nearby shopping center pro­vide recreation and conveniences for students and fac­ulty. The mildne s of the climate makes it possible for outdoor sports to continue without interruption through ­out most of the year.

The growth of the college, as indicated by the construction of several new permanent buildings during the past decade and by the increase of the student body to approximately 1300, has been paralleled by a cor­responding increase in the quality of instruction. * * *

THE L'\U RE L

From Colony to Chapter Status

Zeta Gamma Tau, the group which i now Gamma Phi of Phi Kappa Tau, had its beginnings in September of 1959. At that tin1e three freshmen and one sopho­more met in a Boston apartment to explore the possi­bilitie of e tabli hing a n w fraternity <Troup at orth­ea tern.

During the next two month the group grew low­ly with the acquisition of other interested student , the formulation of initial CTOals, and the election of its fir t group of officer . The e in luded George Lynch, pre ident; Richard Donahue, vice pre ident ; John M ad­den, trea urer; and Albert Mangone, secretary.

The sixteen Zeta Gamma Tau founding brother finally received Interfraternity Council recognition on

epternber 26, 1961. ince 1961, fir t a Zeta Gamma T au and now

a member of Phi K appa Tau, the brotherhood has created an atmo phere of uni er ity envolvement and chool pirit. In 1963 we elected our fir t "Mayor of

Huntin<Tton Avenue," a tradition maintained until 1967 when we elected a "Mr. Husky. ' The "Mayor" and " Mr. Hu ky" are the unofficial pirit representatives at a ll major orthea tern functions.

Over the years the group has sponsored projects at the New En<Tiand Home for Little Wanderers, Boston City H ospital, Boy cout of America, Metropolitan

tate Ho pita!, and the Horne for Wayward Boys in Boston. A part of the pledge policy, the pledges are required to participate in a charity project.

Ever major office from IFC president to Student Council president and countle s numbers of minor of­fices have been held by Zeta Gamma Tau brothers. The new Phi Tau chapter ha eight men in such po i­tion , more than any other fraternity on ca1i1pus.

The deci ion to CTO national was not an easy one, as there were many fears and reservations on the part of th brotherhood. However, after petitioning the IFC and obtaining chool approval, a pefition for colony tatu wa pre ented to Phi Kappa Tau. On April 2,

1967 our petition was accepted and on April 11, 1967, we were granted colony tatus.

After pas ing the national examination on J an. 9, 1968, we were initiated by a team from Gamma Gamma a t t. John 's niver ity on Jan. 12, 13, 1968, an event no broth r of Gamma Phi will ever forget- Bud Daley.

1 orthea tern's growth, a lthough comprehensively planned and pain takingly upervised, stemmed from a imple community need which, in 1898, the Boston

Y.M. .A. decided to fulfill. The need was for a pro­gram of vocational education for young men .

In the years 1898 and 1903 the Evening Institute had inaugura ted and developed a law school program which, in the face of competition from H arvard Uni­ve r ity and Boston niversity, was a courageous step.

As the years pa sed other schools were added un­til, in 1909, a very unu ual event took place which was to d termine the major policy of the yet-to-be-founded university. The opening of the Co-operative chool of Engineerin<T marked a radical departure from accepted academic procedure and it was the second such pro­<Tram in the nation, the first having been inaugurated at the University of Cincinnati in 1906.

ortheastern students, working in literally hun­dreds of bu inesse and industries, earn over $10 mi llion do llars annually and enjoy the benefits which in addi­tion to the income, include the opportunity to apply classroom learning in practical situations.

From humble beginnings in the Boylston Street Y.M.C.A. to today' 47 acre campus, Northeastern Uni­ve rsity has maintained a ingle, consi tent philosophy of operation . That i to provide high quality education in fi elds mo t needed by the community - a ll at the lowe t pos ible cost to the tudent. * * *

iewing public. The final emergence on the TV creen of "The

Felony Squad," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," "Garrison 's Gorrilas," and "Batman," i due, in part, to the efforts of Lew Hunter, who is involved with each episode from the idea to the final shooting prepa­ratory to putting the epi ode on the air.

An example of what this involve i described by Lew, using an episode from Garrison's Gorillas.

"Garri on's Gorillas are to go to Germany," he nar­rates, " to kidnap the baby of a defecting scientist. They break into the room of the ho tage home and discover three babies and must under great dancrer, and in vari-

"From the idea we move into what i ailed an outline, a scene by cene break-down on the way the tory will progre . After the outline observations have

been taken by the show and a ted upon and changed, corrected, expanded, or dimini hed, wha tever the ca e may be, the hO\ move into the script. Then from the script we hoos the be t director and the tars for thi particular style of how or thi particular tyle of epi-ode, after which it i ready to go before the camera .

"The u ual hooting clay for an hour-long erie is six days, or for a half-hour eries, three or four day , cu tomarily four, but in the ca e of Batman,' they hoot three. 'Felony quad' take four day of hooting.

"For the mo t part," Lew explains, " I ee what are called the 'dailie ,' which i the raw film a it ha been shot the day following and make whatever ob erva­tions we feel nece sary so that these things can be omitted or re-shot for the final 'rough a embly' of the picture. The picture is then a embled and the pro­ducer, in tandem with my elf, poli hes the picture and bring it down to the pecified time lim it for the show.

" \ hen we ge t tha t particular element fini heel to our satisfaction, and feel \1·e have done the be t we pos ibly can do within financial and time limitation , then the picture i cored, the ound effec t are added, a nd it o·oe to the p rint tacre preparatory to beincr put on the air. '

Lew arri\·ed on the H ollywood cene in 1956 and wa employed by BC in it mu i clearance depart­ment.

Lew think that it is delightful to be in a profes­ion where hi work is his hobby. H e considers the

fi ow does one develop a responsible Phi K appa Tau undergraduate chapter or colony, one which con­tributes to the university community and in which mem­bers become more proficient in leadership skills, socia l relations, and human understanding?

Undergraduates seeking answers to the above basic question of a fraternity's raison d'e tre and desiring a more functional understanding of the principles of their Fraternity and the mechanics of leadership will find them in IMPACT, the first annual Phi Kappa Tau leadership school which will be held on the Indiana Univer ity campus, Bloomington, August 22 thru 25 .

Purposes of the Fraternity's leadership school are : 1. To assemble undergraduates, professional and

voluntary fraternity workers, academic personnel, and business leaders in order to share information on such areas of concern as " how one can become a successful, responsible leader," and "how a Phi Kappa Tau chap­ter becomes strong and in a meaningful way contributes to the university community."

2. To derive practical methods for future imple­mentation of the various ideas advanced at IMPACT.

Fraternity Leadership

IMPACT has been created specifically and at no small expense by the National Fraternity for those in­terested individuals who want to improve themselves, their chapter, their fraternity, their university and the community in which their chapter or colony is located . The Steering Committee of IMPACT is endeavoring to bui ld a training program of the highest quality. Experts in the fields of fraternity life, leadership, group dynamics and management are being recruited to assist you when IMPACT meets on the Indiana U niversity campus in late August.

The exterior structure of Phi K appa Tau has been well constructed. IMPACT will emphasize the interior aspects of the Fra ternity by describing ways in which the existing furniture- the day-to-day operation of your chapter-can be re-arranged and how innovative types of fraternity "furniture" can be built or modernized to satisfy new needs. In short, IMPACT has been designed for men who want to make a progressive and purposeful impact on their respective campuses and who desire to learn more about condi tions fostering fraternity innova­tion and improvement. * * *

After serving in several important IFC positions including financial co­chairnlan of Varsity Carnival, chair­man of the IFC Special Fund Com­mittee, and a member of the IFC three-man Judiciary Committee, he was appointed editor of the I nter­frat ernity Council L ight in 1967.

With reference to the accompany­ing editorial, ' illson adds this ex­planatory note:

AN egative Tradition When the atmosphere of .t~e entir~ sy _te~ is_ p:rmissive concerning

hazing as a pledge trammg pohcy rt 1 clrfftcult for a group to clenoun e that policy. The atmo phere here and now ~t The

niversity of T exa pro ides few obvious rewards for the fratermty that wants to end hazilw. There is, in fact, a certain pride in having a ruagecl pledge program, a pride ju tifiecl by neither the fact nor the upposecl ,·alue of hazing.

Althouah it i c rtainly fa hionable to recall the mi ery of pledge trainincr and demand that the current p ledg endure the arne ordeal it i cl~ubtful that any fraternity ba es member hip on the ability to with tancl pain. It i imilarly doubtful that many !!roup a tually. con-icier doina a minimum number of pu h-up a the mark of manlmes .

We know that there i more to fraternitie and more to being a fra­ternity man than imply that. There mu t be some underlying rationale beyond the sheer torture of the fact of hazing.

If pledge hazing doe bring the p leclae cla s together it enforce only a radical unity. The chapter become characterized horizontally as layer upon layer of pledge cla e . Thi i certainly not the idea of a. frater­nity and f w chapter would be ati fied by uch horizontal um~ yet many men are forced by the tradition of hning into only a certam age group of a chapter.

If pledge hazing does instill traditional value those value. a:e cer­tainly not the values that one hould wi h to hold for the hfetlme of fra ternity member hip. Mo t fraternitie are founded on principle of brotherhood scholar hip a sincere belief in God democratic ideal and on the inn;te value of' the individual. re the e principle taught or demon tratecl by doina push-ups or eating pepper ? The principle on which the modern fraternity i con tructed are worthy ideal , the value of which will be shown throughout the life of the fraternity man. Hazing does not make any contribution to the e values; it only serves as a di -traction from the true nature of the organization.

The pride of belonging to a particular fraternity which is often attributed to pleclae hazina ha root that ao deeper than the pledge program. Hazina doe not develop thi pride, for pride i a re ult of the fundamental strength of the fraternity. To attribute this pride solely to hazing i to ell short thi strenath. Thi trenath i the brotherhood of a crroup, a brotherhood not molded by hazing but by the values of the member , values et in the belief of the worth of the individual members.

Hazing ha no alue in it elf. Whatever i attributed to it come from the trength of a fraternity it elf, not from the artificiality of haz­ina. Tho e fraternitie that have topped the u e of hazing a a pledge program have found that neither their pride nor their traditional values have been sacrificed. Indeed, it would seem that the absence of hazincr ha opened new i ta in the meaning of 'fraternity."

There are pledcre trainina pro!!ram that are far more ucce ful than hazing. The e program have omitted the inherent dangers and fun tionle quality of pledge hazincr. The empha i i on the real alue of the frat rnity, that i , the development of a per on . The non-hazincr program demand the maturity and tremrth of chapter willincr to u them but in turn th emplo the e fundam ntal qualities to orient th pledge to the goal of brotherhood in a modern college fraternity. * * *
