REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

(Editor's Note: These remarks are' ex-cerpted from the highlights of the Presi-dent's Report to the Assembly of Trustees meeting.)

In this column I want to give you a report on some of the work of the iresi-dent during the past year as I think that it will give you an idea of the vitality and rejuvenation that our fraternity ex-perienced and continues to enjoy this year.

The work of the President is very much involved with finding and motivating alumni to work closely with each and every Delta Upsilon chapter. The goal of my term of office this year is to improve our Governor.DeputyCounselor program so that every chapter enjoys b enefits of more alumni contact and assistance. So many of our chapters really do need more alumni help, and I don't mean fi-nancial support, although that is neces-sary too. We have made several changes in the Governor assignments and expect to complete that work as well as the ap-pointing of Deputies in the very near future.

Your President attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the meetings of 'the Undergraduate Ac tivities Committee. He visited two campuses in connection with the frater-nity growth program, attended several chapter special events, and two regional leadership seminars. With the telephone and letter mail, it was a busy, eventful year.

Seeing a strong, efficiently , run Delta Upsilon chapter on its own campus is always a great pleasure ,for it reinforces my long held opinion that undergraduates are capable of doing a superiOl' job if they are well motivated. I especially want to compliment the Bucknell and North-ern Illinois Chapters for their excellence in all phases of fraternity operations. What they are producing for their mem-bers is a superior Delta l)psilon experi-ence. I wish that all of oui' other chapters could have greater exposure to such ex cellence as there exists in those two chapters:

Strong, Experienced Delta U Leadership Team Continues Pollock, Watkins Reelected at Assembly of Trustees

The 1976 Assembly of Trustees meeting held on October 9th at the Union League Club of New York City was notable in that 57 trustees answered the roll call. The additional representation was evidence of the work of the Graduate Activities Com-mittee, President W. D. Watkins, and a campaign to increase participation in the graduate legislative body of the fraternity.

Reports by the President, Chairman of the Board, Treasurer, and Executive Director occupied the morning session, which was concluded with the election of the officers and directors recom-mended by the Nominating Commit-tee chaired by Brother Charles F. Jen-nings, Marietta '31, past president of the fraternity_

Reelected in the two top volunteer leadership spots were O. Edward Pol-lock, Virginia '51, Chairman of the Board of Directors, who is Vice-Presi-dent for S.tudent Services, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio and W . D. Watkins, North Carolina '27, Presi-dent, a retired business executive.

Vice Presidents included Bertel W. Antell, Cornell '28, retired executive search principal; D. Bruce Decker, Western Ontario '51, President of Emco Wheaton, Conneaut, Ohio; Dr. Hugh W . Gray, Nebraska '34, a retired DuPont researcher from Wilmington, Delaware, and . J. Paul McNamara, Miami '29, Columbus, Ohio partner in the law firm of McNamara and Mc-

" Namara. Reelected to terms as Treasurer and

Assistant were Dennis H. Cheatham, Indiana '65, President of the Pendle-ton Banking Company, Pendleton, Indiana, and Donald C. Rasmussen, Purdue '46, manager of the Indian-apolis office of Moseley, Hallgarten & Estabrook, Inc.

Richard S. Trenkmann, Northwest-ern '64, an executive with Kidder, Pea-body and Co. Inc., Chicago, was elected a new director of the Frater-nity; while Dr. Frederick R. Ford, Purdue '58, Vice President and Treas-urer of Purdue University, was re-elected as a director.

Other directors continuing on the board are Terry J. Brady, Missouri '62, partner in the law firm of Gage & Tucker, Kansas City, and Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61, recently ap-pointed judge of the District Court, Shawnee County, Kansas.

Retiring director J. David Nelson, Northwestern '63, was lauded for his

2

work on the completion of the corpor-ation officers guide which was dis-played at the Assembly and for devel-oping a talent bank to find alumni in-terested in helping the Fraternity. Also retiring was S. Ross Johnson, British Columbia '52, who had com-.pleted five terms as Vice-President of the Fraternity and who received the thanks of the Assembly.

The Assembly approved changes in the method of formulation of the Nominating Committee, a change in the Standing Orders of that group which did not require approval of convention; and approved an amended form of the change in the selection of chapter Trustees. Edmund Shrewsbury, Georgia Tech '61-, presented yet an additional amendment to the proposal which will be brought before the 1977 Convention and to the Assembly, if the Convention approves of it. The change would require Trustee nomi-nees to give their assent before elec-tion.

Highlight of the ceremonies was the Assembly luncheon at which Brother Watkins surprised Board Chairman Ed Pollock with the presentation of his Twenty-Five Year Certificate. Then, the Assembly heard a very enjoyable and informative presentation by Trus-tee Richard E. Meyer, Michigan '61, President of Jovan, Inc., Chicago-based fragrance house. His remarks are sum-marized as a special feature of this issue of the magazine.

President Watkins immediately an-nounced that while he was pleased with the improvement in Assembly at-tendance, his goal was to have an even greater improvement in 1977 and the Assembly date of October 8, 1977, has already been announced.

At the Board of Directors meeting which followed, Brother Watkins was elected Vice-Chairman of the Board and Brother Pollock presented his slate of proposed committee assignments for the approval of the directors. They are: Donald C. Rasmussen, Commit-tee on Administration; Richard S. Trenkmann, Committee on Graduate Activities; Terry J. Brady, Committee on Chapter Loan Fund; Terry L. Bul-lock, Committee on Undergraduate Activities; Howard Kahlenbeck, Jr., Committee on Law and Dr. Frederick R . Ford, Committee on Financial Program.

The ninth member of the Board of Directors is the member of the Under-graduate Advisory Board, elected by

the members of the Advisory Board at their annual meeting in August before the Leadership Conference and Con-vention. This year's undergraduate di-rector is Wendell L. Richards, Okla-homa State '77, former chapter presi-dent and rush chairman of the chapter.

The conclusion of the Assembly signals the start of the new Board and the directors immediately undertook an extensive agenda of business and projects at their first meeting.

President of Jovan, Inc. Is Featured Assembly Speaker

The featured speaker at the Assembly of Trustees meeting this year was Richard E. Meyer, Michigan '61, Trustee of the Michigan Chapter and better known as the president of Jovan, Inc., Chicago-based fragrance house. In an amusing recollection of the highlights and disap-pointments of his life, Brother Meyer _told of his spectacular successes in ad-vertising; promotion and management activities.

Brother Richard E. Meyer, Michigan '61, Trustee of the Michigan Chapter, tells the Assembly of his success in advertising and as President of lovan, Inc.

Jovan, Inc., a company founded by Bernard A. Mitchell in the improbable location of Chicago, Illinois, has been honored by the Fragrance Foundation which named Mitchell "Man of the Year" in 1974, as well as the Fragrance Foun-dation's recognition award "for the most creative national advertising" in the field.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY January, 1977

Meyer fins!: became associated with Jovan, Inc. in 1971 when as a partner in Meyer & Rosenthal advertising agency he was asked to help position a new shampoo for Jovan's Mink & Pearls frag-rance line. He was made president of Jovan, Inc. in 1975. Excerpts of his re-marks follow:

My life has been a good news, bad news joke. To put this whole career ill perspective you have to turn the clock back to about 1957. Cincinnati was home, and during my senior year in high school as a straight-A student I garnered an ap-pointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. I went to Annapolis in the summer prior to entering the Academy for some physi-cal grooming. After spending two days of rugged physical testing, they deter-

' mined in the last 30 minutes of the second day that I was an inch and a half over the height limit and I was bumped out of the Naval Academy.

That was my first real experience with failure, bu t I wasn't totally discouraged as I ended up at the University of Michi-gan, applied for the Naval ROTC pro-gram and was again flushed out for being too tall. I did, however, make the basket-ball team and in my junior year I made the starting lineup. However, at the same time I was playing for Michigan, I had to play against such players as Jerry Lucas, Walt Bellamy and Terry Dis-chinger and they used me as the basket-ball. After one of the games one evening my Dad came up to me, put his arm around my shoulder and said, "You're really not as good as those guys, and you know it." At least that was better than what the coach said that night, he said, "Meyer, you stink." That was the first time I had ever given a thought to my

grea~ness or lack of it, but I did discover that the harder I worked, the luckier I got.

My idea of what to do after I gradu-ated was to take this craft I finally ended up with, journalism; really work hard at it and fool them all by becoming a good writer after all. And, furthermore, I would couple that with salesmanship. So I workcd at it and I went to the Chi-cago T1"ibune for the princely sum of $75.00 a week gross in 1961. I loved it, but my Cl"editoI\'i didn 't and I had to leave to make some money. So I left and went to a small advertising agency and by the time I was 23, I was earning in excess of $50,000 a year. Then, at the. age of 25, in 1965, I started a small ad-vertising agency of my own.

I started out differently from Leo Bur-nett. When you walked into Leo Burnett's offices in Chicago when he first started, there was a bowl of apples sitting therc. He gave an apple to everyone who came in. I gave IOU 's.

Times got better, clients got better and five years ago the business was about seven a nd a half million dollars. Then, in 1970 I met two fellas-Bernie Mitchell and Barry Shipp-they had a small com-pany called Jovan. They were selling a little thing that looked like a 9 mm pearl. It had bath oil in it and was called Mink & Pearls. They had an ad budget of $80,000 a year and they couldn't

figure out why their ad agency wasn't giving them the same kind of attention they were giving to major accounts .

I tried to tell them that I was the best thing had ever happened to them, but they refused to believe me. They had this new product link, Mink & Pearls shampoo, that did everything and was just fantastic stuff. Mitch~ll said it was beautiful, he said that mink oil was the greatest thing since chopped liver, na-ture's super emollient that was good for the hair and he told me tha t quite frarikly he was going to be a smashing' success with or without me. That was pretty em-barrassing .. He said, in fact, it was so good he was guing to spend $25,000 a year ad-vertising this product nationally. He asked me what he could buy for that and I told him "the world's best whisper cam-paign."

I did write an ad though and I was very, very proud of it and I took it in and presented Barry with it. The head-line was "You never sa,,, a mink with split ends, did you?" That was the second time I really knew that I was going to end up in the fragrance business because his l'emark was the same as Bernie's, the only difference was that he threw me out of the office.

Eventually I did come up with an ad that was to fit th eir product. Because of this whole Mi'nk & Pearls line of bath oil, dusting powder and now shampoo, I came up with an ad that said "Until now we Were just after your body." It did take off a Ii ttle bit and the company was soaring. They had $1,400,000 sales that year.

Musk oil was next. Musk oil is an in-gredient in almost all kinds of p erfume as it ho]cJs the lasting power of the frag-rance. \

Bradley, North Dakota and Kansas Stat~ DU Chapters Celebrate Special Anniversaries of their Founding

The Bradley Chapter of Delta Up-silon celebrated thirty years of Broth-erhood during its "Super 'Weekend '76" on September 17th and 18th. Founded as a local, Rho Delta, in 194-6, the Chapter was installed as the Bradley Chapter of Delta Upsilon in 1951-

Over two hundred alumni brothers came from all parts of the world to join in the festivities. Definitely win-ning the award for the longest dis-tance traveled was Haruo Taga '54 from Osaka, Japan. Many of the Brothers had not returned to the campus in a number of years so it was a great reunion for old classmates. Dallas D'Hondt '55, John Schad '68, Bill Bried '68 and Fred Roberts '70, with the help of Mike Lepore '78, arranged for the weekend to begin with a party at the chapter house on Friday evening. Saturday started with a brunch aboard the steamboat Julia Belle Swain cruising up the Illinois River. Individual class reunions were held in the afternoon and Saturday evening's dinner and entertainment began at the Ramada Inn-Glendale. . A candlelight dinner was followed

by blowing out the thirty candles on a huge birthday cake by Edward Sand-all '49 and Steve Hardy '79. O. Ed-ward Pollock, Virginia '51, Chairman of the Board of Delta Upsilon, spoke as did Councilman Bruce Brown '70 who declared Saturday Delta Upsilon Day in Peoria in accordance with a proclamation from the City. Also part of the program were Dean Edward King who spoke for the University, Robert 1"1. O'Connor '53 who remi-nisced about the "old days" and Ron-ald Woods '78, the chapter president who commented on DU today. All charter members, and there were six-teen in attendance, received Silver Delta Awards for their twenty-five years of membership in the Fraternity. Also honored was the chapter's peren-nial sweetheart and housemother, Miss Ina Stout.

After dancing to the fantastic music of Hot Springs, alumni, undergradu-ates and guests returned to the red, white and blue decorated chapter house to continue the reunion and enjoy the piano and candlelit patio.

Sunday morning brunch was served at the chapter house ending what was a 'Super Weekend' fitting the years that the gold and blue has flown at Bradley University.

In weekend ceremonies, two other Delta Upsilon chapters celebrated their l-emarkable record of progress and achievement in the years since their establishment. Both young chapters, under 25 years-old, both have compiled truly outstanding records that were evi-dent in the planning and organization that went into executing successful alumni-chapter reunions.

The fifteenth anniversary of the North Dakota Chapter, installed on December 9, 1961, was celebrated on the weekend of Homecoming, October 22-23. The chapter is starting its third year in a new house on Princeton Street, and for many of the returning alumni this was the first glimpse of the handsome new quar-ters occupied by the chapter.

Extensive promotion of the North Da-kota 15th anniversary activities via the chapter newsletter "The Open Visor" edited by Steven R. Hartmann '78, and an attractive anniversary folder was con-ducted weB in advance of the event. In addition to those materials, there were special 15th anniversary reunion programs for the action-packed weekend that culmi-nated in a banquet on Saturday evening. Activities alternated between the chapter house and the Town House Motor Inn managed by Gerald T. Schmidt '70, who had designed the menu for the Saturday evening program.

Dr. Joseph C. Crawford '66, Superin-tendent of Schools in Hazen, North Da-kota, was the master of ceremonies for the festivities that attracted 275 alumni, wives, paren ts, undergraduates and friends of the chapter. Merle T. Pederson

'78, the undergraduate songleader, led spirited renditions of DU songs through-out the program and Eugene T. Veeder '78, a member of the chapter played and sang original compositions for the enjoy-men t of the audience.

Dr. W. E. Koenker, UND Professor Emeritus of Economics and former Vice-President for Academic Affairs now living in Washington, D.C., represented the Uni-\fersity at the banquet. Dr. Koenker is a special friend to the North Dakota Chap-ter and commented on their signal aca-demic achievements and concern for estab-lishing a learning environment in the chapter. The chapter later presented him with a special recognition award honoring his contributions to higher education at the University of North Dakota.

H. Samuel Myers, III '69, an attorney from lVlinneapolis, spoke of the alumni view of the accomplishments of the chapter and recalled some of the early days. Also making remarks honoring the achievements of the chapter were Execu-ti:ve Director Butler and responding was "V. Brian Poykko '77, chapter president.

W. O. and Lauretta Brown, parents of John A. Brown '72 and Mark O. Brown '75, received the thanks of the chapter for their interest in the chapter and con-tributions to the chapter's library facili-ties. Bruce A. Meidinger '71 was pre-sented with the Alumnus of the Year Award for his efforts with the alumni corporation and advisor to the chapter, and the contributions of the other mem-bers of the alumni corporation that had met earlier in the day were also noted with appreciation. They are: L. D. Wil-liam Luckow '71; Gerald T. Schmidt '70; Wallace E. Bloom '66; Gary R. Larson '70; W. Brian Poykko '77; Randall D. Olson '75; Colin A. Bailey '64; and Charles W. LaGrave '69.

Mrs. Stanley Uhas, chapter house mother, who has been with the chapter since its earliest days, was presented a gift and the assemblage stood and sang the sweetheart song in her honor.

Highlight of the aw"rds presentation was a special ret" award presented by the Chapter ____ _ ,_ Jration president L. D. William Luckow '71, by the chap-ter president. The award had been kept a secret and in addition to the citation, the chapter presented Brother Luckow with a plant.

All of the chapter officers worked hard to bring off the events of the weekend, particularly involved was the chapter re-lations officer Michael P. Masuda '78, along with W. Brian Poykko '77, presi-dent; Gary A. Ficek '78, vice president; M. Blake Strehlow '78, secretary; and Kenneth P. Regan '78, treasurer.

Reunions and celebrations continued on into the early hours of the morning as

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY January} 1977

the chapter prepared for the challenges of its sixteenth year. An overflowing col-lection of honors and awards in the chapter trophy case testified to the un-usual record of accomplishment of this young chapter that has led fraternity scholastic achievement and other areas as well at the University ... it was truly an event to be remembered.

While the North Dakota Chapter was recovering from the 15th anniversary, Mark Marshall, Alumni Relations Chair-man at the Kansas State Chapter, was reviewing his checklist and sending out another mailing to alumni announcing the celebration of the twentieth year of their chapter, that would also be cele-brated on Homecoming weekend, No-vember 13-15 in Manhattan.

Planning for the event had commenced in the spring before the event and the chapter newsletter "The Avenger" and regular letters to alumni announced the details of the program as well as listing those who had already made reservations to attend.

Advance planning, publicity and in-forma:tion on a regular basis to alumni are necessary ingredients for any success-ful chapter alumni event, but this is espe-cially true when an occasion such as a chapter anniversary is contemplated. The advance planning time was put to the test when the original facility booked for the Kansas State banquet was not avail-able and the chapter was forced to find an alternate site for Homecoming' 'Week-endl They were successful and a capacity crowd of 176 alumni, wives, and uncler-graduates were on hand for the program that had as its original theme: "Dream-ing, Daring, Succeeding ... 20 Years of DU."

Slapstick or Lonesome No More by Kurt Vonnegut, Cornell '44 Delacorte Press, 1976 $7.95

b)' Lewis D. Greg01'Y, Kames '75 Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Cornell '44 has

done the unbelievable again. He has written about our romantic and en-vironmental dalliances in imaginative and typical Vonnegut cynical style in his newest book, Slctpstick 01' Lonesome No More! Vonnegut says in the prologue, he daydreamed on a flight to Indian-apolis for a family funeral, about this story of a man who lived -in an empty Empire State Building in "Skyscraper

Honored guests of the chapter were Dr. and Mrs. Duane Acker, President of Kansas State University; Jerry A. Lilly, Assistant to the Vice-President and Fac-ulty Advisor to Fraternities, who inter-rupted his partiCipation at special Theta Xi ceremonies to attend; the Chapter Deputy Judge Terry L. Bullock '61 and Mrs. Bullock; and Provice IX Governor Martin Bauer '71 and Mrs. Bauer. Execu-tive Director W . A. Butler, Jr., CAE, brought greetings from tne International Fraternity.

On Friday evening there were informal get-togethers at the chapter house, where a large 20-year historical display depict-ing the chapter's progress in pictures had been arranged in the beautifully redec-orated chapter Jiving room.

Saturday there were more reunions and an alumni board meeting which heard chapter progress reports from chapter president Clifton C. Jones '77; Richard D. Sell '78, vice-president; Steve S. Haynes '79, secretary; and Paul B. Edgerly '78, treasurer.

An alumni and senior get -acquainted hour took place after the homecoming football game and the banquet in the evening was followed by dancing into the early hours of the morning.

Brother Walter J. Viney '69, retIrIng president of the chapter alumni board introduced Harlan Ebright '74, newly elected presiden t and his board Martin Bauer '71, Tom Elder '72, Thomas C. Smith '70, G. Wayne Davis '70, James Dronberger '75, John Eplee '75 and Steven L. Morgan '69.

Brother Viney also presented the alumni scholastics award to John Teeter for the most improved grades for an un-dergraduate from the fall of 1975 to the

National Park" or "The Island of Death," as Vonnegut calls Manhattan.

The man is Dr. Wilbur Daffodil'll Swain, who is 100 years olel and was President of the United States, "the final President, the tallest President, and the only one ever to have been divorced while occupying the White House." He was born Wilbur Rockefeller Swain, with a twin sister, Eliza Mellon Swain, both ugly, monstrous, "neanderthaloid" and two meters high. Their wealthy parents confined them to a Vermont estate, be-lieving they were idiots. But, the kids dis-cover that when together they are as smart as the Chinese, who 'arc taking over the in telligence of the world.

Vonnegut's popularity, as the maestro of literary exasperation, will surely in-crease with his use of another Tcfrain similar to his infamous "So it goes," be-cause the book is clu ttercel by the phrase "Hi ho," appropriate for his analysis of loneliness, lovelessness and death.

The story is dominateel by the Tela-tionship of Wilbur and his sister, Eliza, who are both very lonely. Love is mentioned only to say that it is not im-pOl'tant or necessary, but that common decency is what the world needs now. Vonnegut says that the book "is what life feels to me." For help in what ages will

spring of 1976 and to Jerry Arnold for the best pledge grades in the fall '75 class.

Then, Brother Clifton Jones, chapter president, announced the presentation of

- the Outstanding Alumnus Award to ' E. Lee Musil '71, who has been serving as a chapter counselor and had recently ac-cepted a position on the staff of Con-gressmen Sebelius in Washington. The presentation of the Hugh Cunningham Award to Brother John Tompkins fol-lowed and special recognition at the banquet and in the program was given to Bill Helvey '58, Terry Bullock '61, Ross Freeman '62, Rogel' Bender '67 and Martin Bauer '71 with these words: "The active chapter would like to express its deep ap-preciation to all of the alumni and their continued support. We regretfully cannot recognize everyone, and therefore have elected to recogn ize the following men for their contributions to the Kansas State Chapter and their fellow man."

Speaking at the banquet, Dr. Acker noted the progress and achievements of the chapter and looked ahead to the fu -ture challenges for higher education and the fraternity. Deputy Bullock commented on how pleased the alumni and the chap-ter were to have th e Ackers as their guests on homecoming weekend and introduced the Executive Director who recounted the very significant progress and achieve-ments of the chapter alumni and under-graduates.

As dawn streaked the sky, the revels came to an end and the guests and the chapter put to bed the conclusion of a special and festive occasion, just the right balance of nostalgia and looking ahead to signal the start of the twenty-first year.

be past, he mentions the afterlife as "The Turkey Farm" where things are worse than they are here. Hi ho.

Swain's campaign for the presidency is to combat "American loneliness," the root of all our evil. The slogan, of course, is "Lonesome No More'" His l1emedy? Every-one is issued a middle name, "the name of a flower or fruit-or nut or 'vegetable or Jcgume, or a bird 01' a reptile or a fish, or a mollusk, or a gem or a mineral or a chemical clement." W'ith everyone re-lated, artificial families would take care of each other and there would be no more loneliness.

Everyone with "13" in his middle name belonged to an exclusive Club and if you weren't a Daffodil in Indianapolis you weren 't anything. Vonnegut's pain seems real, for in the end, Swain be-comes the "King of Candlesticks," simply because he likes them . He dies on his IOlst birthday in New York, where gravity has pulled down the elevators and a plague has killed the entire population.

His superannuated sophistication and cynical feelings are characteristic of Slapstick and of Vonn,egut. He mentions Richard M. Nixon , Jacqueline Kennedy and others, but the realism is only somber comedy. Vonnegut's Chestertonian style in his newest book should be read by all.

Comment on Fraternity

G

Two Hundred and One and Still Going Strong The vast panorama of the two hundred-year-old fraternity system

lies behind us as we celebrate the college fraternity as the most enduring of student organizations in the history of higher education in North America. Our Phi Beta Kappa ancestors planned well in founding a new type of society for informal learning and scholarship along with the birth of the United States.

In Williamsburg, Virginia, last month the College Fraternity Bicentennial Commission met to ponder some of the challenges and alternatives that lie ahead for higher education and the fraternity of tomorrow. While the membership of the Commission feels strongly that the fraternity system, or something very much like it, will continue and prosper as long as there are students on college campuses, many of the traditional forms will change.

Are we up to the challenges and imperatives that are coming in the short-term and long-range changes as well? Certainly declining student populations will be a reality in the 1980's and in some colleges before that time. We may well see alumni returning to the campus in larger numbers for post-undergraduate educational programs, some of them may even live in our chapter houses for short periods of time. Our chapter physical plants need continuing attention and rejuvenation, many of them would cost in excess of one million dollars to duplicate today, and that kind of money and debt service requires strong alumni programs and strong alumni corporations to husband the resources of each and every chapter.

Most of all, we need your ideas, your input, your suggestions, and your interest and support to make Delta Upsilon the front runner, the continuing leader in the fraternity movement. Without our corps of active, involved alumni and undergraduate brothers, Delta Upsilon would be only a faint memory etched in history. For that we can be grateful, but it is not enough.

To meet the challenges that lie ahead requires the extra measure of effort, the extra mile in devotion, courage, and determination. The next 100 years of the college fraternity system is a surety, only if we have selected and inculcated men of vision and strength to carry it forward ... the movement is strong, and the values that fraternity imparts will be important tomorrow as they have been for the last two centuries.

Make your resolution for the 1977 year to get more involved in your fraternity, you will enjoy the experience more than you can know.

Fraternally yours,

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY' January, 1977

So you think it doesn't make any difference if you give Ito the alumni support fund or not?

After all, you give to your chapter ....

Take a look at these facts about DU alumni support.

Your fraternity has just three sources of money, undergraduate pledge and initiation fees, interest from a small endowment and your alumni support, gifts and bequests in your will.

We get no other funding or support. Yet the costs of everything from providing a field staff visit twice each year (more often if it is needed) and every cost, including bringing you this magazine, has and continues to soar.

,. Other fraternities have been forced to cut services, something we have not done because of alumni support. '

Won't you reconsider and join the ever-growing band of DU brothers who support their chapter by giving to the DU Alumni Support Fund . . , or do you too, think we can manage without your help.

James W. Lessig, Bowling Green '57, director of alumni affairs at Bowling' Green State University, was very much in evidence at the formal dedication on October 16th of the new Alumni Center. He wrote in the alumni magazine, "It is our hope to bring these graduates (alumni) back to the campus to

share their valuable experiences with others. That's what the Alumni Center is all about."

Michael K. White, California '57, better known as Coach Mike \l\Thite of the California Golden Bears, lamented his team's 20th place rating in a September issue of Sports Illustrated. He said, "It's hard for me to envision what they were thinking about when they made this schedule up. (The open-ers on the road are against Georgia, Oklahoma and Arizona State be-fore the Golden Bears even get to USC and UCLA.) But we should be one of the best prepared teams in the country, with five 750-play scrimmages last spring. We have some great trips to look forward to this fall. We're calling it our ex-hibition season. If nothing else, it will sure give Joe Roth his day in the sun."-Go get 'em, Mike!

Martin R. Akins, Texas '76, is also mentioned in the Sports Il-lustrated article as a former quar-terback with fast feet, quick hands and a nimble mind. Marty gradu-ated last season, and it is doubtful that any quarterback on this year's Texas team can even come close to his performance as a three-year starter and the Conference Player of the Year last season.

Walter R. Grote, Cornell '74, was a member of the 1976 Olympic wrestling team and served as an al-ternate on the 6-medal '76 Mont-real Team. He is currently . a sec-ond-year medical student in a four-year program at Kansas City Col-lege of Osteopathic Medicine, Kan-sas City, Missouri.

Alberta With our fall rush recently completed,

the Alberta Chapter of Delta Upsilon appears to have received 'a tremendous start on what is viewed by many as a great 'year. Seventeen enthusiastic pledges have joined the fraternity as a result of an active and well exercised rush 'pro-gram.

' Intramural sports on campus this year were kicked off by football, in which four D.U. teams ai'e participating.

Once again Delta Upsilon will be sell-ing poppies on Remembrance Day about campus in support of the War Veterans. Another of our social activities involves canvassing for the Upited Way Drive.

As always, our invitation remains stand-ing to our alumni and brothers of other chapters to come and see us if in the neighborhood.

Arkansas Fall semester for the Arkansas Chapter

has been a very prosperous one. We can proudly boast of our largest

pledge class ever with 22 fine men bring-ing the chapter size up to 60, including eight out-'of-house members,

We owe a big thanks to Brother Jerry Heil, Illinois '50, for entertaining summer rushees with a dinner party. We are also grateful for all the help from DU parents

The brothers have already begun trans-forming the house into our sixth annual DU Haunted House for Halloween, in which all proceeds made go to the Ameri-can Cancer Society. The last several years it has been nom,inated for the outstanding American Cancer Society's project and has raised thousands of dollars for rest;'arch .

In intramurals, the DU's are off to 'a great start, already winning tennis and, a 11 our football teams sport, winning records, As for school participation, there are DU's playing varsity sports, as Student COll-gress representatives, three varsi ty cheer-leaders, Student Activities Board mem-bers and members, of honorary frater-nities. All these combined make the , Ar-lington Chapter a well repr

alumni experienced another exceptional fall msh. We would like to extend our thanks to all of the D.U. alumni who can tributed to the success of our msh by sending us your most helpful recom mendations regarding prospective mshees. \Ve only regret that we were unable to personally acknowledge all of your rec-ommendations. So, with that we are proud to announce the names of our new pledges: John Bloodworth, Gary Brewer, George Choulos, Chris Feder, Steve Fos-ter, Bruce Gaertner, Nelson Lamb, Rich Land, John Licht, Pete Linfoot, Jon Loe, Kieth Novotny, John Sutton, and Dave Wemmer.

During the summer many of the broth-ers stayed at the D.U. house and devoted much of their free time to renovating the ground floor of the house.

We are anticipating a successful year in regard to our involvement in intramural sports, and expect to have especially strong football, soccer, and vOlleyball teams.

Fralemally, The brothe?s of the Califomia Chapter

Carnegie For the academic year of 1976-1977 the

Carnegie" chapteJ; has nearly doubled in size for the fourth straight year. Twenty-six men were " pledged on pledge night, October 6, after a month long msh by twenty-three members.

Homecoming occurred during rush this year with a large turnout of both alumni and mshees for dinner at the chapter house. Three notable alumni returning during Homecoming weekend were Horace G. Nichol of the class of 1921, a former president of Delta Upsilon International; Clyde Stoody, a member of the class of 1931; and George Murphy of the class of 1926.

We would like to thank all our alumni who have made gifts to Delta Upsilon and also those who responded to the recent" alumni corporation newsletter. We invite you to drop in at the chapter house anytime. "

Joe AndeTSon

Central Missouri The Central .Missouri State Brothers

have been going all out in rush this fall, and so far our efforts have been reward-ing. Among the new men pledged are: Chuck Dudley, Dan Miller, Brian Rob-erts, John Ainsworth, Chuck Pirie, and Jim Driskill.

Other activities include the annual Hairy Bacon Bowl charity football game, which pits the Warrensburg Police and Fire Departments against the chapter; and a Halloween party sponsored by our little sister organization.

This looks to be a fine year for our Chapter, and we hope it turns out as well for other D.U. Chapters.

Chicago The Chicago chapter ended its spring

quarter on a high note with the annual

12

IHC Spring Sing. It was good to have so many alumni back to the house, as well as Province Governor Dave Mag"uire, for an evel)ing of nostalgia and song. Initi-ated a t the end of spring quarter were Martin Timkovich, from Marion, Michi-gan and Frank Yang, from Okinawa.

Plans for this fall include lots of out-side repairs on the house, including much needed carpentry and tuckpointing. Treasurer Jim Meisner deserves com-mendation for his fine job of getting bids and negotiating with contractors for this work. Lots of new beds and a new TV will also be purchased this fall. Plans are also in the works for joining a local food co-op and working with are-cycling center.

Clarkson After a long summer break the brothers

of D.U. at Clarkson came back to a 4 day work week in which the house was painted and many necessary house repairs were done. Over the summer, brothers Tom Kamidi, Jim Edwards, Niel Muys-kens, and Dave Deys landscaped and re-placed the front lawn. Also a new powder room is being built by Brother Schrader.

The academic status of our house on " campus is very high ranking number two among thirteen other fraternities.

Initiation of new member will be Oct. 17, with 21 pledges taking the oath, and as of this writing we have eight pledges.

This year as in the past, D.U. is play. ing a major role in most campus organi-zations. Many brothers are officeIl; of stu-dent government bodies and honor so-cie ties. As a result of this, our relation-ship with the faculty and community is very strong.

Colby Since our last entry into the Quarte?ly,

D.U. here has lost eleven seniors in graduation, but gained eleven new mem-bers last spring. In intramural sports, our softball squad beat the best of the rest, rolling undefeated to the team cham-pionship of the" Intrafraternity League here at Colby.

Brothers and friends gathered at Fen-way Park in Boston July 31 for Colby's D.U. Day. A good time was had by all watching the Red Sox play the Yankees. Afterwards graduate Phil Burke hosted an enthusiastic party.

This fall, Delta Upsilon is again well-represented on Colby College's soccer team, placing brothers Dalton, Denney, Hickok, Huber, Sanderson, Slutz, and and Suddath on the roster. Geoff Eman-uel is captaining the Colby sailing team.

Colgate The Colgate Chapter of . Delta Upsilon

has kicked off this fall semester on a promising note.

This year's pledge class of 18 is char-acterized by its diversity, talent, and great enthusiasm for the house. Already

incoming pledges have made their pres-ence felt through various house office positions some hold, very successful work weekends and an all-encompassing feel-ing to keep D.U. one of the most out-standing fraternities on campus.

On the academic level, D.U. continues to hold one of the highest grade point avelages among the Colgate fraternities, an accomplishment realized year after year.

The brothers are looking forward to a truly gr,eat year; homecoming weekend is not far off and this traditional reunion with alumni, parents, and friends is anxiously awaited. A sincere thanks to the alumni who have shown concern in this chapter is expressed by all the broth ers here at Colgate.

Roger Kovary

Colorado This fall has been a b,usy and pro

ductive one at Colorado. A summer rush program, instituted for the first time here, paid off well; and with a fmther effort this fall, the Chapter has pledged ten men. The summer program will cer tainly be continued in future years.

Alumni who stopped by for Home-coming may not believe it, but we're making a number of improvements around the house. The graduating seniors of last year painted the outside of the house before they left, and a donation of carpet has helped spruce up the TV room and a number of individual r00111S. Also on the agenda is a repair (finally) of the heating system.

If you're planning to be in Boulder, plan to stop by the chapter hous"e for a visit. W'e are of course expecting the usual skiing crowd from other chapters as the snow begins over Vail.

Cornell This summer, the dining room and the

Great Hall received new hardwood floors. Other improvements scheduled for com pletion this fall include a new carpet for the Chapter Room and repairs on the gutterpipes and rocking chairs. In are lated matter, last fall the brothers dedicated the Chapter Room in the memory of the late Albert Baldini, father of Robert Baldini. Mr. Baldini un-selfishly donated time and effort over the past several years by supervising house improvement projects, such as the aforementioned dining room and Great Hall floors. A plaque donated by the family, is to be placed above the Chap. ter Room's fireplace.

This homecoming, the brothers will pay tribute to two of Delta Upsilon's greatest friends, Buck Penrose and Bert Antell. Certificates of Appreciation will be presented to them for tirelessly making D.U. number one house on the hill. Mr. Penrose will be cited for coordinating alumni efforts to make structural repairs on the house, and Bert Antell will be recognized not only for his past service, but in particular, for the more recent can trihution of the new dining room floor. The house warmly thanks both.

CTeighton-Pledges and some of the mem-bers at the chapteT house.

Creigh.ton . The Creighton Chapter of Delta Up-

silon began its semester with the tradi-tional Casino Night event for incoming freshmen. After an evening of "gambling," the freshman used their "earnings" to bid on such prizes as Omaha concert tickets, albums, and free movie passes.

Our first public service project for the year was a car wash to raise money for the National Muscular Dystrophy Tele-thon. The money raised was presented by our president, Terry Moore, during the television broadcast. Together with the funds raised during the M.D. Dance-A-Thon last spring, the Creighton Chap-ter has made a substantial contribution to Muscular Dystrophy.

This semester's officers are: Terry Moore, president; Keith Steiger, vice president; Nick Turkal, chapter relations secretary; Larry Donovan, secretary; and John Kennedy, treasurer.

Nick W. TU1'kal

Dayton The brothers of the Dayton Chapter are

proud to announce the many achieve-ments that have taken place this fall.

In keeping up with DU tradition an open campus party was held in our park-ing lot the first week of school. This time it was comprised of three other national fraternities. The party was a huge success and further strengthened the DU name Oll campus.

Major improvements have been made on both of the fraternity houses. Most of the inside and all of the outside of 108 'Woodland Avenue has been painted along with the inside of 110 Woodland Avenue.

Special thanks go out to President, Chuck Calhoun; Brother Ray Atkin, Vice Pl'esident; George Gilhooley and Treas urer, Frank Palmeri for coordinating the fall program.

Tom Radziminski

Delaware This year, Delaware got off to a slow

start, but has doubled its pace to com-pensate. Our only returning officers are President Christopher J. Ennis and Treas-urer Tomm Kelly, so we have a new staff, full of enthusiasm and quickly gaining experience. Our new officers include Mike Wismer as Vice-President, Warren Lager-lauf as Secretary and Bob Bauder and Will McGinnis as CO.Chapter Relations Secretaries.

This year, we have four DU brothers involved in Delaware sports. Curt Rade-baugh, most valuable defensive player last year, and Dave Root are trying out for the Delaware Hockey team, which went

undefeated in their league last year. Tom 'Veber, a returning letterman, is playing defensive end and Jim Schintz is posi-tioned at tackle, on the Blue Hen Foot-ball Team.

Bob Bauder and Will McGinnis

Denison Delta Upsilon has begun another strong

year at Denison with high prospects in a number of areas. Social life in the house is again providing the school with a great deal of activities. After taking a small pledge class last year, a large group seems inevitable this year as rush is at tracting more freshmen. After a large senior class graduated last spring, the number of members in the house is low, so a large pledge class is needed.

Talented athletes are again pl'esent in the house this yeaT and it has become a trademark of Delta Upsilon ' at Denison over the years. Captains of soccer, swim ming, lacrosse, track, and all four cap-tains of this year's football team are DU's. After winning last year's intl'a mural championship, we are again keep ing up in the ranks of eleven teams and a repeat of last year seems highly possible.

James White

DePauw The men of the DePamv chapter re-

turned to campus this fall enthused and anticipating an eventful rush. Their en thusiasm paid off as we took a pledge class of 24 men, this to add to our one spring pledge to bring. the total to 25 men.

Life at the DePauw chapter house does not always revolve around the pledges, so we have also made plans for an alumni day, to coincide with DePauw's alumni day, honoring our 90th year here on the DePauw campus.

This year the "home" is proud to have . in it the Student Body President, Mark Eugene Small. Brother Small is also a nationally ranked debater and a member of the school's Academic Council.

New elections were held early in Oc-tober, those elected were: John Everett Davis, president; Bradley E. Bachmann, vice.president; Rusty Wells, treasurer; George Jeffers, rush chairman; and Mark H. Grimm, secretary.

John E. Davis

Eastern Kentucky The fall semester of 1976 has proved to

be our best in the last two years. Last spring at the E.K.U. chapter we began naming our pledge classes. This semester's "Beta" pledge class is composed of IS fan-tastic pledges which began their training on September 26. Due to the eagerness of the chapter to get more pledges, on October 17 the "Gamma" pledge class will begin and hopefully we will have ap-proximately ten more pledges.

The whole general outlook of this chapter is much better primarily because we have all the brothers involved with specific interests. The fraternity itself has seemed to achieve a much greater balance.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY January, 1977

If all of the brothers continue with their enthusiasm, then within a short period of time along with a continuous ' effort, we can bl'ing our chapter to the top.

Michael G. Edwa1'ds

Florida Florida chapter fired into fall quarter

with a fantastic rushing campaign. Headed by Rush Chairman Bili Lemme! and his sidekick and trusted companion, Terry Delahunty, all rush efforts have added twenty men to our pledge rolls. Moreover, our second week of rush and the following informal activities should be a bit more promising.

The retuming brothers foresaw an overall effort for rush, and everyone re-turned to whip ' the house into ' shape. A new coat of paint adorns' every wall, and all the summer refurbishing has been completed.

Brothers returriing also found the house in very good academic shape. A house overall 2.69 grade point average placed Delta Upsilon fourth in the University of Florida's fraternity system. Three brothers earned the outstanding achievement, being placed on the President's Honor Roll.

Fresno Fall of '76 was greeted at the Fresn~

chapter of Delta Upsilon with the usual anticipation and enthusiasm which follows after a long, hot summer. The brothers led by President Ray Hurado; Vice Presi-dent Tom Tl'iplett; Secretary Cliff Miya-moto; Treasurer Ben Yosako and Chapter Relations Secretary Roger Takeda, gathered ranks for what promises to be one of the most challenging and reward-ing years in chapter history.

Our activities began immediately with the participation in intramural sports. Exchanges with other fraternities and sororities were planned. Our big fU1;ld raiser, our annual after'g

Many thanks to the Alumni Club of Geoi'gia who over the past several years have schemed and planned on what, this fall, became a reality . Construction on a house addition began in late August. The addition consists of four two-man rooms on the basement level and a chapter meeting room above.

Dedication of the addition took place at Homecoming with many alumni pres-ent. Highlighted during the dedication was the raffle of the glass from 'a bay window which had to be removed because of the construction.

Once again we invite all DU's VlSItmg Atlanta to drop by the Georgia Tech Chapter House.

Ralph La Salle, Jr.

Hamilton The Hamilton chapter is anticipating

another fine ' year on the hill. All the brothers have returned from their sum-mer vacations and are busily engaged in various campus activities. Mike Leng-varsky and Warren. Hart are both rep-resentatives on the college. student senate, Jack Widman is the chairman of the Judiciary Cou ncil and Steve Milford is presiden t of the senior chiss.

~he house is especially strong in ath-letICS. Eleven brothers, including co-captains Walt Kizielewicz and Dave Pis-anelli, play football while fourteen DU's form the nucleus of the water polo team. Intramurals, always a strong aspect of the house, are looking fonvard to another fine season.

A Parents Club has recently been formed and will be meeting on Parents weeken~l in. November. With their gen-erous fmanoal support, the house library has been refurbished by house manager Hans Gulick.

Houston The Houston Chapter has 'experienced

one of its most inspirational semesters. The chapter has almost doubled in size and has improved in almost every aspect of fraternal living.

Brother Andy Smallwood has become our new Chapter Deputy, an event cele-brated at a chapter meeting.

The chapter has also added two new brothers into its ranks from the sum mel: pledge class. The proud initiates are Billy Cruse and Danny O'Bryan. The initiation took place at the traditional site of the United Methodist Church of Pasadena. Brothel' Mike Bosnick was the Master of Ceremonies and our distinguished alum-nus Luther Henderson III delivered the charge.

The Houston Chapter is also very proud of our twelve new pledges. We are sure that they are all going to make fine brothers.

We are also looking forward to Foun-ders' Week activities and our reception for Nobel Prize winner Dr. Pauling . .

Illinois Due ' to a very successful rush effort and

the return of all underclassmen, the

14

number of Brothers wishing to live in the Chapter House this semester exceeded our capacity of fifty-nine. Therefore, a private home is being rented which can accom-modate up to sixteen additional Brothers.

The Illinois Chapter Alumni Board has allocated money for several maintenance projects in the house this semester. The projects include new carpeting for the living room, paneling of the second and third floor hallways, and the landscaping of our front yard. All of t4e Brothers here at Illinois thank our .alumni for their continuing support.

In sports, we are going after our thild consecutive All-University Soccer Cham-pionship. Academically the house is con-tinuing its strong showing and presently ranks fourt~ scholastically among ' the fifty-five fraternities on campus.

Indiana The new year here at Indiana Univer-

sity started off with the initiation of last year's spring pledge class. Mr. William Armstrong, our Chapter Deputy, gave the charge to B.ob Miller, Brian Me'eks, Bill Camfield, and Tim Atkins on September 26th.

The culmination of last year's Eampus and hig'h school rush resulted in a large fall pledge class of 18. Together with the chapter, these men will strive to maintain and improve the . advancements achieved during our last semester ~f operation. Academically,. our house ranked 7th all campus, an improvement of our first semester performance of 13th. In intra-murals competition our house placed sec-ond in the Crimson Division, receiving 11 trophies commemorating first and sec-ond place awards in campus-wide athletic competition.

With all aims set high for another great year, we would like to tpankour Chapter's Alumni for their support in our corporation's 60th Anniversary Fund Drive, which under the direction of Her-bert .E. Smith has seen the improvements made in our facilities over the summer.

fohns Hopkins The Johns Hopkins Chapter has proven

that well-organized teamwork reaps large dividends. We are all mighty proud of our efforts that made our house a pleas-ant one. This summer saw a lot of paint-ing and refurnishing, while this fall we experienced a fast climb in the magnitude of alumni relations. Our new and suc-cessful Buck O'Month Club reflects thi~ fact.

Initiation started October off with a bang as another great pledge class joined our brotherhood. An enjoyable paity for the neighbors nicely rounded out the month. In conjunction with our Christ-rims Party for the . Big Brothers Associ-ation of Baltimore, we started a raffle to add monetary support to ' our appreciation of this fine charity.

As usual, our chapter continues in their true athletic ways by giving the . other fraternities a tough time in intramural sports. As de{ending champs of Fraternity Intramurals, we're well on our way to equaling last year's achievement. FOUll-ders.' Day is coming up December 4th. Come. on over and join the other alumni for a surely enjoyable time.

with hopes of having one of our best years ever;

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY January, 1977

(I

A number of things have helped spark this enthusiasm but ranking highest is this year's pledge class of 23 . Besides their semester of pledge training, they have been actively involved in intramurals and other activities.

A number of other positive steps have been made in scholastic activities. Schol-arship chairman Pat Maloney has started an efficient reading program and has also made use of several DU International study films . Both pledges and members have benefited.

Intramurals look to be strong again also. Many members are participating in . football, tennis or racquetball.

As in the past, we have taken part in a number of service activities. We put in a number of manhours at the Red Cross-IFC blood drive and along with the Gamma Phi's organized a canned food drive. Prospects for success in the annual Rock Chalk revue are looking very good.

Officers for the fall semester were Eric Voth, President; Brad Hamilton, Vice-President; Rob Southern, Secretary; and Bill O'Brien, Treasurer.

Kansas State The men of the Kansas State Chapter

of Delta Upsilon are looking fonvard to an exciting and rewarding year_ Member-ship chairman Danny Bryan organized one of our most successful summer rush programs_ We pledged 26 men who are already demonstrating fine leadership qualities.

We started the year with an over-night retreat in which we planned our chapter goals and activities. Our fall activities ' included a watermelon feed with our neighbors, the annual DU slab party, and a barn party with the men of the Kansas Chapter. We competed in the all-Uni-versity Sing with the women of Alpha Delta Pi under the leadership of brothers John Teeter and Terry Walker. 'We cele-brated our twentieth anniversal'y on homecoming day by having a formal dance at the local Elks Club. The living room of our house has been remodeled with new carpet and furniture_ DU was ranked fourth in gl'ade point average, and seventh in intramurals out of 26 fraternities last year. We hope to improve on that this year.

All and all it should be a productive year for the DUs at Kansas State Uni-versity.

Lehigh Having jnitiated ten new brothers in

May, the Lehigh DU house began fall '76 fully able to concentrate on the all-important rush program.

Rush Chairman John Rodden directed an open house on September 26 in which the brothers got a good chance to meet future DU's. Social Chairmen Brad Campo ' bell, Phil McGinnis, and Dave Corder-man have worked out a lively social cal-endar that includes a double-decker bus trip to the annual Lehigh-Lafayette foot-ball clash November 20th in Easton.

Speaking of football, the brotherhood is proud to boast of three starters on the team. Centel- Rick Adams, offensive tackle Mike Yaszemski, and All-East candidate at tight end Larry Henschaw are outstanding members of the Engineers this season. In other sports, Jose Perna captains the soccer team, and Jeff Edell is the back-up goalie. Brother Bob Kelly, only a sophomore, is Lehigh 's fourth-seeded tennis player. Brothers Mike Val-lee and Larry D. Martin play on an excellent rugby team.

Louisville The Louisville Chapter continues to be

one of the top fraternities on campus. DU pledged fifteen good men last fall giving us the second largest membership on campus.

Our community service project this year was one of the highlights of 'the fall se-mester. Delta Upsilon, in conjunction with Delta Zeta sorority, sponsored a bikaJthon for the benefit of the American Cancer Society. We were very proud of the results and plan to sponsor it again next fall.

Delta Upsilon continued to be a power in the Interfraternity Council. In No-vember the University of Louisville's . LF.C. C0nducted a joint workshop with members of the Greek system from Memphis State University, Memphis, Ten-nessee, on commuter campus rushing techniques. Brother Larry Basham headed the project for the Council. The I.F.C. also placed Delta Upsilon President Joel Tune as chairman of a committee to re-view and renegotiate housing leases with the University.

The Brothers of the Louisville Chapter would like to invite all Brothers of Delta Upsilon to attend the 103rd running of .the Kentucky Derby in May and enjoy a great weekend with us.

Maine As we start the fall semester at Maine,

we can look back with . pride on the fact

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY' January, 1977

that for the first time in our history, our chapter began living in a house. Hard work, co-operatIOn, and capablc guidance produced a very successful year. It will provide a strong base to build upon in years to come.

During the spring semester, DU took second place over all in Greek Weekend activities, Our May outing to Acadia Na-tional Park was attended by several alumni as well as many house members. Highlighting spring semester activities were the initiation ceremony and the Senior Awards Banquet, both held on May 8th.

At the Senior Banquet, the class of 1976 was honored for its tremendous efforts in behalf of DU. Among those receiving well deserved awards was Brother Deven McCarron, chosen as Brother of the Year.

Manitoba-Fathers play ping pong at a fath e?' and son meeting at the chapter hOllse.

Manitoba At this writing we have observed the

end of another summer and the chapter is again in the middle of rush. Rush chairman Rob Siddall and his committee have been very busy planning and OT-ganizing what looks to be an impressive rush campaign for 1976. At the first smoker Don McInnes '50 came to address the rushees, members and alumni. In a nutshell Don told the rushees what DU

. is all abou t. The Chapter will field another hockey

team this year for Intramural sports on campus. Last year's team was enthusi l astically supported and this year's team should be the same. All in ' all, we're ex-pecting another fine year for Manitoba DU's.

In closing I would like to thank Olll' alumni for their support during rush and we shall look forward to their continued support in the coming year.

Maryland Fall '76 will prove to be the most

successful semester in the Maryland Chapter's short history. Our efforts in rush have finally crystalized under the leadership and guidance of Rush Chair-man Chris Steis. Thanks to a fine summer and fall rush program, the Maryland Chapter has netted 20 pledges.

Homecoming '76 will be one of the best in years thanks to the efforts of Social Chairman Ken Mathias and our alumni. All alumni were invited to . attend the Maryland-Wake Forest football game and the dinner:dance that follows.

Athletically, DU will once again chal-lenge for the intramural allsports title. Strong showings are expected by our football team, the best in the last five years. Our soccer team should again reach the intramural finals, and hopefully win the championship. And as always, DU remains strong in the individual sports.

Miami The Miami Chapter of Delta Upsilon

saw its active membership increase by five as spring pledges Ray Everitt, Jeff Burt, Dave Hall, Cliff Melder, and Mark Lacker were initiated. This increases the number of brothers living in the house to 35, ten more than last year.

The brothers Teturned this summer ex-pecting to find a newly-remodeled house. However, due to complications, the brothers found the house just starting construction, and a mess. Thanks to the strong brotherhood here at the house, all the brothers banded together and worked hard to get the house back into shape.

Our house Historian, Mark Watters, would appreciate it if any alumni who have any documents, composites, or other items of historical interest pertaining to the house, would send them, or a copy of them, to him to be put on record for the enjoyment of all the brothers.

John Holschuh

Michigan Considerable time and effort was spent

over the summer making improvements on the annex. Some structural and electri-cal work needed to be done along with painting and lots of minor repairs. Due to the fine efforts of Brother Whitehouse the Annex has just passed inspection by the local housing inspectors, which is good news for us all. Brother Whitehouse

16

is responsible for most of the improve-ments.

When the brothers returned to the house in the fall, the decision was made to go over the kitchen and pantry area from top to bottom. The whole place was turned upside down for a few days, but now that it is back together again we are enjoying a much improved food prepa-ration facility.

The early days of fall were chilly ones for the Michigan DU's when the furnace in the main house broke down. Getting it fixed represented a considerable capital outlay, especially just after the hot water heater in the annex had to be replaced.

Ray BaITY

Middlebury With the commencement of the 1976-

1977 academic year, Delta Upsilon's Middlebury Chapter bid adieu to its summer residents and opened its doors to seventeen seasonecl seniors who will live in the house this year. A hectic first week saw the house in disarray as summer storage items were organized and claimed and rooms were revamped. ''''hen the dust had lifted, however, many improvements had been made and the house was ready to welcome the incoming freshmen with the first party of the year.

DU members continue to play an active role on Middlebury's athletic teams. Thirteen brothers, including captains Steve Scheufele and Rex Martin, return to play on the Panther football squ~d, while last year's Most Valuable Player, Rick Stone, is back to lead the soccer team.

Paul Prisby

Minnesota We have 12 pledges this fall from our

rush last spring and summer thanks to Thad Wendall, Rush Chairman and Clark Opdahl, President. The 12 pledges are: Peter Simons, Richard . Weiderman, Paul Anderson, Ron Elvin, Ken Almquist, Mat Gunther, Jim Sturdevant, Mark Aben-droth, Tom Nachicas, Rich Nuenfelot, Jack Noll, and Jack Spencer. Thanks to a great effort put out by our house in general, we doubled our house to 23 members.

Our local alumni have instituted a major house refinishing. The exterior is being repainted, new carpeting laid in the living room and hallways, new duperies are on the way for the living room and dining room, and electrical wiring will soon be updated.

Leo Mrozek gave us second place in intl'amural golf and the softball team came in second in intramural softball last summer.

Missmtri At Missouri, a capacity pledge class of

34 "best" men will benefit from expanded progl'ams in the areas of scholarship and cultural development, as well as many major improvements in the physical plant. These programs are designed to prepare the graduating brothers for a more com-petitive position in the outside world.

Brother Terry Bullock, a member of the Board of Directors of Delta Upsilon International, spoke at the recent initi-a tion of 11 spring pledges. He stressed several of the points that have been in-corporated into the above programs, as well as providing many new ideas.

House improvements totalling over $20,000.00 in the past year might make the old homestead a stl'ange, bnt pleasant sig'ht for many alumni. Improvements in-clude an entirely relandscaped yard, a remodeled foyer, an expanded parking lot, additions to several of the rooms, and gallons of new paint. There is even talk of a new wing in the near future.

N ebraslla Several leadership positions on the

22,000 person University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus are filled by Nebraska brothers this fall . President Randy Wright, Secretary Rex Seline and Pledge Educator Pete Wegman are copy editor, associate news editor and sports editor, respectively, for the campus newspaper.

Rush Chairman Jay Hodges is a stu-dent senator and Chapter Relations Sec-retary Pat DiBiase is captain of the swim team. Bob Risney is a top ROTC officel' while John Selko is a tight end for the nationally-ranked football team.

Alumni were welcomed at the annual Homecoming Smoker following the Kansas State game which was only two weeks after the chapter hosted the Kansas State pledges for a weekend sneak.

Eighteen men joined our second semes-ter pledges from last year and are ex-pected to maintain our high standards.

This year's pledges won their intra-mural softball division while last spring the chapter placed second in all-university soccer competition.

North Carolina North Carolina Delta Upsilon began

the 1976-77 school year with an expanded and revitalized physical plant. After much hard work by the chapter alumni and undergraduates, the new building is finally a reality.

The new addition, which adds 5000 square feet, extends directly behind the old Bain House. The first floor of the two-story addition includes a covered patio (40' x 15'), a new dining room (39' x 23') and kitchen (24' x 16') and two guest bathrooms. On the second floor there is a chapter office, a laundry room and two more guest bathrooms. A spa-cious chapter room (39' X 23') is located on the second floor which includes a fireplace with a marble hearth. From the chapter room, one can walk out on a covered deck that forms the roof of the patio below. Renovations were made in the Bain House, coverting the old common area into bedrooms and baths for the brothers.

We hope all alumni will visit NCDU in the near future and inspect onr new fa ci Ii ties.

North Dakota The North Dakota chapter is off to

another fine fall start here at the uni-versity, located at 505 Princeton in Grand Forks. With the rush program drawing to a close we have selected a pledge class of 18 men to continue our proud tradi-tions.

The highlight of the new term was ,the initiation of six men into brotherhood on the 17th of September.

Our hOllse underwent much improve-ment over the summer with painting interior walls, new bookshelves for the library, trophy case, new stove, and new outdoor lighting.

Upon returning to school this fall the brothers were all very pleased to hear that once again we had received the highest grade point on campus for Greeks. This was the 36th consecutive semester in which we have received this honor.

Richard Steinbach has already brought honor to our chapter. He entered the "Eatin for Epilepsy" pancake eating COll-test and placed second. He ate a total of 26 pancakes and this total placed our chapter third in monetary pledges.

If any DU's are traveling in the Fargo area, you are welcome to stop in and visit. It is always nice to meet new friends and have old friends stop in. Hope to see some of you soon.

Northern Illinois With the fall semester underway, the

Northern Illinois Chapter continues its success in all areas of chapter operations. This semester's rush has brought us a twenty-man pledge class with each in-dividual possessing the top quality char-acteristics for which we strive.

The Chapter continues to participate in campus activities as Brothers Dave Gron-ski, Scott Tracey and pledge Dave Ham-merstrom were elected to the University Senate. Brother John Fox is currently serving a term as Student Body Treas-urer. This year's Homecoming Committee will be headed by Brothers CI'aig Munch and Jim Huntley, along with other DU's being involved. Our Chapter was proud to host the Jerry Lewis Telethon in con-

junction with I.F.C. This coming month the chapter wiII help and house eighteen blind students who will be participating in a weekend track meet.

Academically the chapter continues to average a grade point of 3.0. Participation in fall intramurals has started off great with both softball teams maintaining a winning streak.
