Facts About Pi Lambda Phi at
The University of Florida
dent with outstanding notations
for superior scholarship.

From a charter membership in
1925 of ten men, to its present
strength of sixty brothers and
pledges, Pi Lambda Phi has led
the Jewish element at Florida
through it's achievements and
through the respect rendered it by
other fraternities.
Scholarship, honoraries, ath-
letics, publications, debating, all
have found Pi Lambda Phi broth
ers among the top men in each
field. Most outstanding accom-
plishment Of the present PIP fra
ternity is it's winning two campus
scholarship cups consecutively, af-
ter retiring the first cup which
had circulated among F1orida's
Greek letter groups ever since
1893.
AS local Mu Alpha Sigma, and
then as Phi Beta Delta, Florida
Delta accomplished the precedent
setting feat of leading the entire
campus in scholarship for IL con-
secutive semester, an all-time
record for the University.
Founded in 1925 as Mu Alpha
Sigma, it was the original inten-
ton of the ten charter members
to petition another Jewish nation
al for membership. However, on
Feb. Is, 1925, the University of
Florida chapter was installed as
Delta of Phi Beta Delta, eleventh
national fraternity to arrive upon
the Florida campus.
Charter members included one
of Florida's immortals, Max Col
die" Goldstein, and other now
prominent men like Irving Mosco-
vitz, Hyman Katz, B. F. Berlac,
Steve Klein, Aurel Rosen, Max
Glickstein, Sam Silverman, Harry
Miller and Sam Witten.
First chapter meetings were
held in the University dormitories,
but as the group steadily in
creased, the need for a fraternity
house was seen, and in 1927, Phi
Beta Delta moved into a modest
building on DeSoto street.
Then, during the next ten years
of steady advancement and growth
, Phi BID took leases on larger and
larger houses, progressing to its
present plan of rebuilding house
on University Avenue for occupa-
ton next year.
Always maintaining the purpose
that the ever-increasing group of
Jewish students at the University
should have fraternity benefits,
Phi Beta Delta brothers expanded
their scope of campus activities.
In 1940-41, as Pi Lambda Phi, and
as chapter in the worlds largest
Jewish fraternity, Florida Delta
extended the benefits of fraternity
life to the largest group of Jew
ish pledges in University frater-
nifty history. Thirty-three men
donned the Blue "a" of Phi Beta
Delta, and pledged Pi Lam toge-
Their in December of 1910.
Ever since 1925, the fraternity
has benefited from the leadership
of Dean Joseph We'll of the En-
cheering College. Dean We'll, in
his official capacity as chapter adj
wiser, has willingly granted Flor
ida Delta his time and influence
to help the fraternity reach the
position of prominence it now tru-
ly holds.
Pi Lambda Phi is no longer
known only for its excellence as
Florida's top Jewish fraternity,
but throughout the state its repu-
tation has become lone of the
best University of Florida frater-

Call For Patriots

There exists, it seems, undercurrent of dssatis
faction about the extent of American rearmament.
One for this popular concern, believe, is the
lack of definite information about the defense program
This, however, seems to be less unavoidable.
Generally, it appears certain that the process of
constructing planes tanks, ships and equipment the
manufacture of guns, ordnance and supplies and the
procurement of supplies, well as the training of
army, requires time than optimists
thought when the defense program began.
A serious handicap has been the unfortunate di-
vision of public opinion kept alive by the isoationists
and those who hate the British and Soviet govern
ments The United States, it should be recalled, is
attempting to do wartime job under peacet time
ditions, which is extremely difficult The time is at
hand when loyal Americans must give practical ex
preston to the patriotism of which they pirate and
render than lip service to the democracy which
they profess to love.

Taxes To Be Heavier

The unacceptable duty of raising revenue for the
defense program continues to engage the attention of
Congress, with all signs pointing to overwhelming
group of income taxpayers next March,
The action of the Senate committee in cutting
personal exemptions to $3.50 for single persons and
$500 for married persons attests that the people
must prepare to pay for rearmament and that the
burden will not be light Little objection be raised
against the decision to enlarge the group of income
taxpayers Painful as it may be, there is no way to
necessary defense without cost to citizens. All
that anyone ask is that Congress place the burden
as equitably as possible.
The fact that individuals and corporations do not
yet know what taxes they will have to pay this
years income unfortunate but unavoidable. That
corporations will have to pay heavier taxes is certain
but there seems to be division of opinion to
the wisdom of contemplated schedules which fail to
contracts

and build up an unbeatable machine
right now which is stronger than
the potentialities of the Axis.
Need for Cooperation.
Objective observers here say that
the trouble with the defense pro-
gram itself boils down to this:
civilian demands have been taken
care of rather than defense de-
mands. You can't have your guns
and your butter, too. Nearly 9,000,-
900 man-days have been lost by
strikes. Business that wants to help
the government has frequently been
given insufficient co-operation-that
is the government has not been
geared to tell just what it wants.
Business that doesn't want to help
has not been forced to.
Back Of it all is public apathy.
And that is the key note.
Washington can't be described as
apathetic. 1t is hectic. But there
isn't sufficient drive from the people
throughout the country to move con-
gress into dynamic action. The lead
ers in Washington have not the suf-
ficient assurance that Congress and
the people are back Of them so that
they can drive through their pro-
grams.
In Ottawa there are no bands
playing, no soldiers on parade.
But there is some tension. An
Englishman just over said to me
that, after spending two days in
the Canadian capital, he was worn
out and "longed for the tranquility
of London" But Ottawa's tension is
merely the strain of a nation with a
relatively small population carrying
a heavy burden
Excitement seems to vary in d.
rect proportion to the distance from
the shooting. The nearer to the
front. the more folk saw wood and
the less they say.

Certainly Washington is not.
Today the one topic in the capital
is-"Morale for Defense" how to
achieve it. And very few people
can say how. Morale by speeches
doesn't work so well because speech
is free and there are always ''un-

Civilian Defense Effort.

may have heard me mention over
the air, I sat in a little group in
Washington where a very earnest,
very emphatic man was talking
about this very thing. He was an
army officer in branch Of the serv-
ice that is tied up very closely with
the civilian defense effort. He is at
his desk from 7:30 a. m. to 900 at
night. never heard talk that
sounded less like what the average
person thinks a professional soldier
says when he sounds off,"

Today the American government

Not because they care whether the
Americans listen or not-not very
many debut because, to quote from
a statement by the Federal Com
munications commission: To-day
almost every political. diplomatic or

day ana had some surprises. /
bought a cake knife. 1t was made
of plastic, but it was plenty sharp
enough to cut bread. There were a
lot of other things-fountain pens,
inkwells, automatic pencils-made
from plastic. So began to wonder
if maybe the shortages in metals
caused by war was really begin
ming to absorb some of the farm
surpluses from which plastics can
be made. L asked a member Of
the department of agriculture.
''The use of plastics is slowly on
the increase" I was told, ''but the
little gadgets you see in the stores
are just the bridge from the test
tube to commercial production"
Already the aluminium parts on
certain machines are being substi-
tuted with plastic. Washing ma
chimes. Business machines. How
ever, so far these smaller articles
are chiefly synthetic, chemical plas-
tics. They aren't touching the corn
stalks. They are as yet expert
mental.
Tung Oil Production.
In other fields, the war has Gre
ated new uses for agricultural prod
ucts. War conditions have FASTENED
perfection Of these uses. Formerly
we imported 100000 pounds Of
tung oil year. This year we have
produced 5000, 1000 tons from our
homegrown tung and we have
made great progress in producing
drying oils from other things such
as soy beans, linseed and castor
beans. Thorough tests have been
made of the use of soy oil in paints
and enamels and a report on that
subject is now available from the
department Of agriculture. I'll be
glad to send you one.
The humble soy bean, once consid-
cred good for little but to be plowed
under as fertilizer. is coming to the
help Of Britain. Casein from soy is
replacing casein from milk, which
makes it possible to release more
cheese for England-cheese. and
dried milk, too, are two Of the is
lands crying needs.
