RECLIVED APR 8 1968 the NTL. OFFICE of The East Tennessee State University Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha SPRING JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE * 1968 A TIME OF PLEDGING Frank McLane An initiation approached, the pledge class of fall quarter being able to look back on their program of training as a period of growth and develppment-mentally, physically, and spiritually. And now the pledges of another quarter have finished their formal study and wonder how many weeks how many long, anxiety-ridden days and nights will it be before they will be put before the final vote and test to become a brother, a member in sacred friendship an E-Z Pike?! Each quarter has helped each pledge to realize the deeper meaning of Pi Kappa Alpha and what it means to become a part of this brotherhood. From the very start, it seemed apparent that the brothers of Epsilon-Zeta would once again prevail as campus leaders, as the chapters pulled togethers to get twenty-three pledges on a very se- lective basis for fall rush. of those twenty-three, fourteen were initiated into the bonds of brotherhood. They were: Johhny Thomas, Doug Cornett, Sonny Mann, Ron Cardwell, Charles Phillips, Melvin Sword, Bob Rainey, Warren Furguson, Barry Haynes, Jim Fisher, John Rhea, Mike Thompson, Bob McCreery, and Gene Pack. You alums have no doubt met these men during our founder's day week-end. The recent initiation was stimulated this year by the use of INGRESS, a new development by the ever-alert national office. It provided the framework to give us the fourteen good brothers we initiated. The pledge class was one of the best ever for Epsilon- Zeta, and they worked as true IIKAs. Their pledge project was the selling of a television set, which proved to be profitable. May I express my sincere appreciation for the alumni who have been taking an active interest in our chapter. A CHANGE OF OFFICERS Bob Rainey On February 28 of this year, a new slate of able men were selected to lead the fraternity for the following academic year. It is interesting to note that we are using the talents of three new brothers along with the dder brothers to keep our leadership ever strong: President Pat Trimboli Vice-President Larry Scott Treasurer Bob McCreery Secretary Warren Furguson Alumni Relations Bob Rainey Pledge Master Nick Hart House Manager Sid Oakley
